[15:05] <ttedi> hi, I upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 but now it will only display blinking a cursor after boot (instead of the grub menu). I tried booting from usb, chroot, then grub-install but I get the error "cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly"
[15:05] <kaziweb> wylde: I know there supposed to be. But unfortunately I don't see any!!!
[15:05] <escott> Kenshizl, rotate 7 will only keep 7 of them. (and they will compress to be very very small because of the repeated text) you could have rotate 1000 and it would be fine
[15:05] <escott> Kenshizl, except for having 1000 copies of the files.
[15:05] <Kenshizl> escott: so what does the "rotate" do?
[15:05] <kaziweb> wylde: I can send you a screen shot.
[15:06] <wylde> kaziweb: I'm looking at it right now. Scroll down as far as you can. Do you mayba need to scroll right to see it?
[15:07] <escott> Kenshizl, it says "rotate #" means "keep # copies of the file" if you look in /var/log you will note that you have kern.log.1.gz up to kern.log.4.gz because currently the rule in place is rotate 4 for kern.log
[15:07] <kaziweb> wylde: I tried but for me I don't see it. let me send you a screen shot of the page.
[15:07] <Fat-Thing> 6279  0.0  0.1 1065508 3176 ?        S    23:02   0:00 /opt/google/chrome/nacl_helper_bootstrap /opt/google/chrome/nacl_helper --at-zero --r_debug=0x0000000040000000
[15:07] <Fat-Thing>  <----can someone tell me what is this process?
[15:07] <wylde> kaziweb: if you must
[15:07] <wylde> !paste | kaziweb
[15:08] <Kenshizl> escott: oh. So now that I changed it, it will have up to 7
[15:08] <escott> Kenshizl, yes, up to 7 hours of the file, and they will all be compressed so they should be very small
[15:09] <wylde> kaziweb: you may also find someone better able to help with translation issues in #ubuntu-doc
[15:09] <escott> Kenshizl, the one problem is that currently logrotate is only run once a day. so even though logrotate is told to rotate hourly it only gets woken up to do work once a day. so we have to make a change to the cron files.
[15:09] <Kenshizl> escott: but it still shows that the regular syslog is taking up 2GB
[15:10] <Kenshizl> escot: so now I have a 2Gb, 1.4Gb and a 900KB file all taking up space.
[15:10] <escott> Kenshizl, if you "sudo cp /etc/cron.daily/logrotate /etc/cron.hourly/" then you will copy the script that runs logrotate daily to run every hour
[15:10] <kaziweb> wylde: please see---> http://imagebin.org/212240
[15:11] <wylde> kaziweb:  see your bottom scroll bar? Click it a drag it to the right.
[15:11] <Fat-Thing> http://paste.ubuntu.com/985534/ <--- mr. escott  can u tell me why i got this process on google chrome? it isn't like these before :(
[15:11] <Kenshizl> escott: but it now has 3 instead of 2 insanly huge txt files!
[15:11] <escott> Kenshizl, what is the 900kb file?
[15:12] <Kenshizl> escott: I meant 95KB, but it is "syslog.2.gz"
[15:12] <Dr_willis> Fat-Thing,  when googleing for that  nacl_helper it seems common to google chrome.
[15:13] <escott> Kenshizl, 95kb is not that big
[15:13] <kaziweb> wylde:  I clicked it and draged it down. this is the screen shot of last bottom right corner where there is no button.
[15:13] <wylde> kaziweb: bottom scrollbar...... drag the bottom scrollbar to the right
[15:13] <Fat-Thing> Dr_willis,  i don't get the same output before when i do the update it's creepy
[15:14] <Dr_willis> Fat-Thing,  i think you are being paranoid.
[15:14] <Fat-Thing> it suck up all my internet connection
[15:14] <Dr_willis> Currently the nacl_helper_bootstrap is a dynamically linked executable that depends on nacl_helper.so. It should be changed to a statically linked executable with no advertised dependencies, that chain-loads ld.so which then loads nacl_helper.so.
[15:14] <Kenshizl> escott: no, but it is one of three files for just one thing. Instead of compressing that syslog file and deleteing it, it just makes another file!
[15:14] <Dr_willis> http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=94147
[15:14] <kaziweb> wylde: Opps I got it. thanks a lot dear. I was suffering from this from yesterday. Thanks again.
[15:14] <raven> how to capture flash video streams?
[15:15] <Fat-Thing> Dr_willis,  sorry if i'm gettin paranoid just than i'm noob huhuh
[15:15] <Dr_willis> raven,  i normally use a flash downloader app/web site.
[15:15] <raven> Dr_willis its a live stream
[15:15] <Dr_willis> raven,  or are you refering to a webcam-chat stream?
[15:15] <kaziweb> wylde: but do you know how can I do this type of translation through bazaar?
[15:15] <wylde> kaziweb: no problem, however you may want to file a bug against launchpads page. That button should not be shown outside the viewing area when the rest of the page auto adjusts to fit.
[15:15] <escott> Kenshizl, none of the changes we have just made have taken effect yet. because its only 11:15. cron won't run logrotate until 12:00
[15:15] <ttedi> hi, I upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 but now it will only display blinking a cursor after boot (instead of the grub menu). I tried booting from usb, chroot, then grub-install but I get the error "cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly"
[15:16] <Kenshizl> escott: right now my free space is holding steady at 25.2Gb, but 2 hours ago it was 29.5 Gb (I know I did not download a 4Gb file)
[15:16] <kaziweb> wylde: but do you know how can I do this type of translation through bazaar?
[15:16] <raven> Dr_willis no i try to capture a news stream from a tv station
[15:16] <Dr_willis> raven,  Hmm.. not sure on that one.  a lot of those sites have alternative streams. then apps like streamtuner/tunapie can grab them
[15:16] <Kenshizl> escott: so should I save the file I edited (I did not save it yet)
[15:16] <wylde> kaziweb: no I don't, you may want to look into the documentation team and/or translator's mailing list if the irc channels are unresponsive.
[15:16] <escott> Kenshizl, if you havent even saved it then it definitely hasn't taken effect
[15:17] <raven> Dr_willis i know but theese stations are flash-idiots....
[15:17] <Kenshizl> escott: I just saved it.
[15:17] <kaziweb> wylde: yes you are right. any ways, thanks a lot again.
[15:17] <wylde> kaziweb: np
[15:18] <escott> Kenshizl, so now you need to tell cron to run logrotate hourly by running "sudo cp /etc/cron.daily/logrotate /etc/cron.hourly/"
[15:18] <escott> Kenshizl, and then wait and hour and see if it rotates the files
[15:19] <Kenshizl> escott: I'm doing it right now
[15:20] <Kenshizl> escott: I did it and it asked for my password. I typed it in, and (visibly) nothing happened after that. I think it worked
[15:21] <escott> Kenshizl, hopefully that will work well enough so that your disk doesnt fill up. a better solution would be to modify /etc/rsyslog.d to not log these messages with intel_prepare_page_flip (I dont know enough about rsyslog to say how to do this) or to pass an argument to the kernel to get the intel drm module to shut-up (check the bug report for some suggestions).
[15:23] <Kenshizl> escott: okay.
[15:23] <Kenshizl> escott: well, I guess (if you have nothing else to add) I'll watch something online and wait for 12:00
[15:24] <escott> Kenshizl, you can remove the old log files to verify that the rotation happens, and you might need to restart the cron process (sudo service cron restart)
[15:24] <solofight> people, my windows xp boot option has been lost after installing ubuntu. Now i remember adding a line in ubuntu some file which brought xp option back last time
[15:24] <solofight> but forgot now
[15:24] <solofight> please help
[15:24] <Kenshizl> escott: will do!
[15:25] <christoph_> exit
[15:26] <Kenshizl> escott: I'll delete the files and run that command. But for now, I'm signing off for a little. Thanks for your help!
[15:26] <solofight> people are you getting my messages ?
[15:26] <angel279> Hello, I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04 along with apache2 and php5 and I cant fine the php.ini file? any idea?
[15:27] <solofight> angel279: updatedb; locate "php.ini"
[15:28] <escott> solofight, it is not listed in your grub menu?
[15:28] <ttedi> interesting, the error "cannot read `/grub/core.img' correctly" went away after manually removing that file
[15:28] <solofight> escott: when i switch on the system now it directly boots into ubuntu
[15:28] <solofight> no windows
[15:28] <solofight> option to choose
[15:28] <solofight> ubuntu v12
[15:29] <escott> solofight, it usually shows a menu when os-prober detects boot options. is xp not listed in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[15:33] <solofight> escott: nope - no entries
[15:33] <solofight> do i need to man ually add one ?
[15:33] <MonkeyDust> solofight  do you see the grub menu at all?
[15:34] <escott> solofight, you could but its easier for os-prober to find it. what does sudo os-prober say?
[15:35] <sirriffsalot> When someone says "install dssi" in relation to softsynths... what packages does that include? Synaptic confuses me...:)
[15:35] <MonkeyDust> solofight  do you see a menu similar to this, when you boot: http://www.davestechsupport.com/blog/images/grub.png
[15:35] <solofight> MonkeyDust: nope - no grubber menu it directly boots into ubuntu and what i see is login screen
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> solofight  it appears you have to repair the grub menu, it can be done but is not easy if you're a beginner
[15:36] <solofight> MonkeyDust: sudo os-prober returns nothing
[15:38] <sirriffsalot> By the way, I've installed e17... but whenever I mouse click on my desktop and go to accessories > applications, I get an error message:  Enlightenment error: This is very bad. Enlightenment SEGV'd
[15:38] <MonkeyDust> solofight  in a terminal, sudo fdisk -l -- use pastebin to show it to the channel http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[15:39] <solofight> MonkeyDust: cannot use pastebin as the system which i am dealing with has no internet access
[15:39] <solofight> shall i describe what i see ?
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> solofight  you have more than one pc in the same network?
[15:39] <solofight> it has sda1 to sda7 out of which sda1 runs linux and sda7 runs windows
[15:39] <solofight> MonkeyDust: not in same network
[15:40] <kurtwp_> can some provide some insight as into the following nvidia error: DEBUG: nvidia_current is blacklisted, so not treating as enabled
[15:40] <solofight> the one am debugging right now is home pc and what am using now is office laptop
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> solofight  ok, in a terminal, type mkdir windows and then sudo mount /dev/sda7 windows
[15:40] <escott> solofight, 7 is an extended partition. is it possible to boot xp on an extended partition?
[15:41] <Dr_willis> escott,  xp? I dont think so.. you may want to ask in #windows
[15:41] <panda81> if can't burn iso to cd, only way to install is via boot from usb?
[15:41] <headgas> Whats a newb channel?
[15:41] <Dr_willis> panda81,  you could do a 'net boot'
[15:41] <solofight> MonkeyDust: mkdir where ? in my desktop is ok ?
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> solofight  in /home/[you]
[15:42] <solofight> escott: well thats what i have done right now !
[15:42] <panda81> Dr_willis: what's needed for that
[15:42] <headgas> How do I join a newb channel?
[15:42] <Dr_willis> !install | panda81
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> !ask| headgas
[15:42] <Dr_willis> headgas,  like #ubuntu-beginners ?
[15:43] <headgas> No for irc beginners
[15:43] <mvrech> hello
[15:43] <solofight> MonkeyDust: done - i have mounted sda7 to windows directory
[15:43] <solofight> now what ?
[15:43] <Dr_willis> headgas,   irc basics.. covered in docs all over the internetz... /join #channelname       is the basics of joining a channel
[15:43] <Dr_willis> headgas,  the xchat.org site had some good docs at one time
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> solofight  ok, no errors? that's something already than, just to know
[15:44] <solofight> MonkeyDust: nope - no errors

[15:46] <MonkeyDust> td123  meaning?
[15:46] <zykotic10> !notunity | td123
[15:46] <escott> td123, no. just install gnome-shell
[15:46] <Dr_willis> td123,  seen one mentioned at the webupd8 blog site. but its not officially supported by this channel.. i just install gnome-shell on ubuntu...
[15:46] <td123> k, ty, just wondering
[15:47] <conradk> Does anyone know how I can change default ACL on a partition different from where Ubuntu is installed ? In my case, Ubuntu is on /dev/sda3.  But I want to change FACL on /dev/sda2, which is another partition mounted in /media/home. It uses NTFS, unlike the Ubuntu partition which uses ext4. I get "Operation not supported" from the setfacl command :(
[15:47] <mvrech> sorry but Not supported low-power chip with PCI id 14e4:4315!

[15:54] <lorddelta> So...is it normal for me to need to download 5 gigs worth of upgrade when I'm going from 11.04 to 12.04?
[15:55] <Aress> what video recorder you can recommend me for recording games?
[15:55] <IdleOne> lorddelta: sounds like a lot but depending on all what you have installed it is possible
[15:55] <lorddelta> Or should I call it quits and stop the upgrade (its only like 10-20 minutes in, it has another 3-4 hours to go)
[15:56] <solofight> MonkeyDust: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/bex77
[15:56] <Dr_willis> lorddelta,  it basicaly is redownloading every package/app you have installed.
[15:56] <solofight> MonkeyDust: please have a loook at that image, its the output of fdisk -l
[15:56] <Dr_willis> and updated..
[15:57] <lorddelta> Dr_willis: Great. Thanks anyways
[15:57] <Dr_willis> be a neat trick if it could do a 'diff' on all the updates.. but tjhat could get.. complex. ;)
[15:59] <solofight> MonkeyDust: you there ?
[15:59] <lorddelta> Dr_willis: It would be nice. That or if it let me just update the "core" packages, and mark everything else as obsolete...

[16:07] <Datz> I'm on 12.04
[16:09] <Polah> Datz: If you empty trash then it'll remove pointers. If you want it completely gone and overwritten you could find where it's stored on your drive and use dd to write over t
[16:10] <waylee> hello. is there a way to pass a paramter in loginshell in /etc/passwd? like ..:myshell -a
[16:10] <Datz> Polah: I kick myself for not using rm command now..
[16:10] <solofight> People, i am not able to see the grub menu after my installation of ubuntu 12.04 - i ran a os-prober to see whether it checks for my windows xp and it didn't. here is o/p of fdisk -l http://www.freeimagehosting.net/bex77
[16:11] <Polah> Datz: Just open trash can and empty is, or right click > delete permanently on the specific file
[16:11] <nydel> waylee: could you write a script file that launches the shell with the parameter & put that in etc/passwd?
[16:11] <Datz> Polah: I backed up my home folder prior to upgrade on a NTFS drive. Booted to windows I was unable to remove the home folder because of naming problems.  Where would it be stored now?
[16:11] <escott> solofight, does the xp partition need to me marked bootable? and shouldn't there be a WINNT folder in c:
[16:11] <nydel> waylee: (as your shell)
[16:11] <Datz> Polah: I don't see a trash can. I might add I'm booted to gome session fallback
[16:12] <Polah> Datz: Open Nautilus, should have a link on the sidebar there
[16:12] <Datz> Polah: it does. thanks! :)
[16:14] <solofight> escott: oh, i just clicked the xp partition and made it bootable using disk utility. about winnt folder - am not sure. This is how it was before installing ubuntu - it worked fine !
[16:15] <solofight> escott: so now that i have made it bootable - if i run sudo os-prober; it should return windows xp ?
[16:15] <solofight> or should i restart to see the effect ?
[16:15] <escott> solofight, i dont know try it. if it does run update-grub
[16:15] <amaroks> Hello

[16:16] <synergizm> hi, im trying out scribes as an editor right now. i like it but can anyone tell me why i might not have any syntaxhighlighting? using ubuntu 11.10
[16:16] <nydel> vlc won't seem to get recognized as a media player, in the way that others like movieplayer & clementine do, where it has a control panel in the sound menu & allows control with laptop remote - could someone help me with this? i don't know where to start...
[16:16] <DonKaese> hi everyone, does somebody own an ATI/Intel hybrid graphics notebook and can tell me how well dynamical switching and HDMI output is supported?
[16:17] <Polah>  amaroks: 640
[16:17] <solofight> escott: no good :( when i restart i dont see thr grub menu - meaning it didn't detect the xp isntallation i think
[16:18] <nydel> DonKaese: ridiculously well - i actually just got back from trying to crash it (it took me forever) - i am always hooking my laptop to my hd flatscreen via hdmi & it works smooth as can be with my hybrid graphics
[16:18] <krababbel> nydel: vlc should implement this in accordance to the gnome guidelines I guess. Maybe there is an addon if not already there in options.
[16:18] <gmachine_24> I created an encrypted partition on my system using TrueCrypt; now I'm trying to figure out how I back up whatever is on that partition.....I suppose I can back it up to another encrypted partition....is this my choice?
[16:18] <Polah> solofight, you have to hold shift when booting to get the grub menu.
[16:18] <solofight> Polah: ahh
[16:18] <lorddelta> nydel: About your vlc problem, have you tried installing the vlc-libnotify stuff?
[16:18] <DonKaese> nydel: excellent, can you tell me which notebook you are using?
[16:19] <Aster> Hi, I wanted to migrate my entire Ubuntu install from one computer to another.
[16:19] <solofight> Polah: now i see the grub menu - but no entry for windows xp which is installed in sda7 :(
[16:19] <Aster> Is that possible?
[16:19] <nydel> lorddelta: i have not, will i find that in software center?
[16:19] <Polah> solofight, there's probably a setting so that you can have it show the menu by default rather than having to hold shift, but I don't know it if there is
[16:19] <Polah> solofight, can't help you there, sorry.
[16:19] <lorddelta> nydel: I'm not sure what you mean exactly, since I'm have trouble using my gui atm (I had to start from grub cmdline after a nasty kernel accient)...but you might get lucky and unity uses libnotify in the background
[16:19] <lorddelta> nydel: maybe.
[16:19] <lorddelta> if not it'll be available via apt-get
[16:20] <nydel> DonKaese: i built it myself about 3 years ago, i don't really remember the exact parts
[16:20] <solofight> Polah: yeah that setting is in grub config file where you need to set the hidden time out to false i think
[16:20] <nydel> lorddelta: i'll just apt-get it. thank you, i'll try this now.
[16:20] <DonKaese> nydel: are you using the proprietery driver?
[16:21] <haruband> Hello, anybody here has some interesting with wayland window system? Is it possible for wayland to be default window system on ubuntu?
[16:21] <latsarazzi> !overclcok
[16:22] <kafin> Bonjour à tous !
[16:22] <auronandace> !fr | kafin
[16:22] <nydel> DonKaese: yes, i started on windows & used wubi. whatever drivers ubuntu put into place worked perfectly.
[16:22] <nydel> (in fact when i used wubi a while back i was just messing around, but i haven't booted back into windows since. i bet that's happened to a lot of people)

[16:23] <Aster> Hi, I wanted to migrate my entire Ubuntu install from one computer to another. Is that possible? What would be the best way of doing it? I'd like to migrate all my files/folders, as I have a lot of data outside of my home folder, so I was thinking of just migrating the entire thing.
[16:24] <Sidewinder> !clone | Aster
[16:25] <haruband> Anybody know the room name for the next ubuntu developer?
[16:25] <Aster> Sidewinder, Not just programs... The data that comes with them, libraries, code, everything.
[16:25] <Sidewinder> Aster, I think that's what you're lookin' for; if not, I apologize.
[16:25] <Aster> Also, I'd like to not have to re-download everything.
[16:26] <mneptok> !dd | Aster
[16:26] <DonKaese> nydel: and do you have the same battery time as in windows?
[16:26]  * mneptok tut-tuts ubottu
[16:26] <Polah> Aster: You could copy across your /var/cache/apt/archives directory and install from those packages
[16:26] <Aster> Polah, <Aster> Sidewinder, Not just programs... The data that comes with them, libraries, code, everything.
[16:26] <mneptok> Aster: look at the program "dd"
[16:27] <Aster> Okay.
[16:27] <nydel> DonKaese: no. the battery time is decreased significantly-enough to make me suspect my battery of having broken around the time i switched, but i haven't booted back into windows to see what's what
[16:27] <Polah> Aster: Anything you've installed separately that didn't come with any packages you'll have to move yourself. You could image your drive and put it onto the other computer to get everything, but it'll probably take a long time depending on how large your drive is.
[16:27] <Sidewinder> Aster, Or, perhaps rsync and it's GUI front-end grsync.
[16:28] <Aster> The size of the data I'm trying to copy over is 80 GB.
[16:28] <synergizm> hey anone using scribes on 11.10?
[16:28] <synergizm> anyone*
[16:28] <synergizm> i cant get the highlighting to work
[16:29] <Polah> Aster: Yeah, that would take quite  a while to image with dd and then put it on the other drive. Like Sidewinder said, rsync over your local network is an option but could still take a long time. I guess if both systems support GbE and you have a cat6 cable to connect them it might be fairly quick
[16:29] <nydel> DonKaese: but my battery is running itself down when the computer is shut down, so i highly doubt it is ubuntu's fault.
[16:30] <Aster> Polah, I'll try the Etho cable.
[16:31] <Polah> Aster: You'll need to install Ubuntu on the other system first to do that
[16:32] <Aster> Done.
[16:32] <DonKaese> nydel: thank you for your help!
[16:32] <synergizm> guys noone using the editor scribes? it looks gr8 imo but i cant get the syntaxhighlighting running
[16:33] <joep> Hi, I have a strange problem with GRUB2. I installed from an USB-stick XUBUNTU 12.04 over a corrupt installation of 11.10.
[16:33] <Polah> Aster: If both systems or cable don't support GbE then it'll only transfer at ~100Mb/s (or worse, 10Mb/s but anything make in the past few years should at least support 100Mb ethernet. It'll take a couple of hours at 100Mb/s
[16:33] <joep> That went without any problem.
[16:34] <Aster> Polah, I'd be extremely happy if I just had 10 Mb/s.
[16:34] <joep> However, when I want to start form the disk GRUB says: no sector found. Cab anybody help me out.?
[16:35] <princethakur> byeall good night .. see you later
[16:37] <drvanon> hello, I had issues with compizz (don
[16:37] <drvanon> 't know what it is)
[16:38] <drvanon> so i reinstalled it. I had to reinstall unity with it, but now the issues are back. What is wrong?
[16:41] <tyteen4a03> Hi, after I installed Ubuntu desktop 12.04 along with my windows, a boot menu did not show up and the computer went straight to windows. How can I fix this?
[16:41] <escott> tyteen4a03, which did you install first? how many disks? how large are they?
[16:43] <tyteen4a03> escott: Windows first, 2 disks (both win7 and ubuntu), how large?
[16:43] <bnerd> anybody got any experience with the hp n40l micro server with precise amd64 server installed? esata doesn't work for me and i was wondering whether i must run some specific module?
[16:43] <joep> I repost my question: Hi, I have a strange problem with GRUB2. I installed from an USB-stick XUBUNTU 12.04 over a corrupt installation of 11.10. That went without any problem. However, when I want to start form the disk GRUB says: no sector found. Cab anybody help me out.?
[16:43] <escott> tyteen4a03, you probably just need to change the bios to boot the other disk first
[16:44] <hulkkk> Hello, anybody knows some file deduplication utility which can be used in all filesystem?
[16:44] <bnerd> when i attach a disk via a cable, where i have the combo working on another host, i see 0 kernel messages…
[16:44] <tyteen4a03> escott: oops, I meant that disk 1 had both win7 and ubuntu, sorry for the confusing
[16:45] <escott> tyteen4a03, ok. how large is the disk? is this a uefi system?
[16:45] <tyteen4a03> escott: 120GB SSD, not sure about uefi
[16:45] <escott> tyteen4a03, how new is it?
[16:46] <tyteen4a03> escott: the disk is only about 2 months old
[16:46] <escott> tyteen4a03, the system not the disk
[16:46] <escott> tyteen4a03, how about just pasting the output of sudo parted -l /dev/sda
[16:47] <escott> !paste | tyteen4a03
[16:50] <tyteen4a03> escott: the system? I can't boot into it, you want me to use the live disk?
[16:50] <escott> tyteen4a03, yes
[16:51] <marcovorg> hello ppl, on 12.04 if I alt+tab and select "show desktop" the desktop is NOT shown...to get the correct behavior I need to alt+tab to select again "show desktop" ... anybody is experiencing the same?
[16:52] <tyteen4a03> escott: just wondering, will you stil be here after 2 hours? can't really restart the system right now
[16:52] <escott> tyteen4a03, probably not
[16:52] <infid> does ubuntu's cd installer's format tool have a way to do super secure formatting, so the data can't be recovered?
[16:52] <jgmdev> marcovorg, happens the same to me
[16:53] <jgmdev> seems to be a bug

[16:56] <killtrace> my net is awesome -.- how can I fix it?
[16:56] <infid> also can you run ubuntu as a guest operating system in virtualbox with a mac osx lion host?
[16:56] <deper29> hey, how would I initialize a command upon startup of the system? I can get it to startup for when I log in, but I want it before that
[16:57] <krababbel> infid: why not?
[16:57] <bobweaver> infid,  Yes you may I dont see why not but I am no longer a mac owner
[16:57] <jgmdev> marcovorg, maybe is already reported
[16:58] <escott> infid, yes

[17:09] <TheRedoctober> Hi all. I am experiencing a gnome-shell crash. I found the open bug on launchpad. I believe it is due to a gnome shell extension. Since I cannot load gnome-shell without it crashing, I would like to disable extensions. Does anyone know how to disable gnome-shell extensions without being able to load gnome-shell?

[17:14] <CromoZoneX> Hello everyone. I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Dell Laptop, and i've also got an Optimus Videocard on my laptop. I've installed Bumblebee 3.0 stable, works quite well with all applications i've tested. One BIG question: Why does not Bumblebee runs at startup of my system? It's kinda' annoying to type "optirun appname" every time i want an application to open up with my Nvidia Optimus Card.
[17:15] <ANT1-CHR15T> CromoZoneX you can configure it to run at startup i belive
[17:15] <ANT1-CHR15T> not sure myself as im new to ubuntu but i used debian alot
[17:15] <CromoZoneX> I've searched Google, and i didn't find anything useful...
[17:15] <IdleOne> Dash > Startup Applications.
[17:15] <escott> CromoZoneX, does bumblebee need X to be running?
[17:15] <CromoZoneX> escott, yes it needs X
[17:16] <escott> CromoZoneX, then add it to gnome-session-properties

[17:17] <BigBass> I have a problem with a Broadcom wireless driver, it doesn't appear to work with the new  Ubuntu 12.4 (or for that fact other Debian based new releases).  Does anybody know what the problem is?
[17:17] <bobweaver> BigBass,  I can help you with that
[17:17] <delegate> @BigBass, did you install additionaldrivers?
[17:17] <lorddelta> bobweaver: thnx, apparently I have that installed already, that works too!
[17:18] <BigBass> :-)  Yes
[17:18] <bobweaver> BigBass,  I am going to ask you to install something called pastebinit  do you have Internet access via eth0 ?
[17:18] <ANT1-CHR15T> you could convert the windows drivers as Broadcom always make drivers for windows
[17:18] <BigBass> yes I do
[17:18] <bobweaver> BigBass,  open terminal   and let us see          lspci -nn | grep 14e4

[17:20] <ANT1-CHR15T> ok il leave you guys to it il ask in a more perl based channel as im sure they may have run into a few errors anyways have a good day all
[17:20] <delegate> :-)
[17:20] <Polah> KM0201, you have to prefix it with a !
[17:20] <hcuongvn> escott, How can i fix it. I really need for my job :(
[17:20] <bobweaver> !pastebin > bobweaver
[17:20] <KM0201> Polah: oh, i thought i did... (guess i'm a little to tired to be playing w/ ubottu..lol)
[17:21] <harushimo> I'm just asking a quick question. Right now I'm using my 160 as OS drive. I have tb hard drive that I want mount with the interface. I'm currently doing a reinstall
[17:21] <KM0201> Polah: but don't think ubottu has never been caught napping on the job, happens frequently.. :)
[17:21] <escott> hcuongvn, i would just run the correct setup program directly. export PATH and then depending upon your machine architecture run either bin/lin/setup or bin/lin64/setup
[17:21] <harushimo> any advice would be great
[17:22] <BigBass> :-(
[17:22] <ztag100> Well, I'm screwed...
[17:22] <bobweaver> BigBass, ??
[17:22] <ztag100> I just restarted my computer
[17:22] <harushimo> if anyone answer this question, i can ubuntu completely reinstalled
[17:22] <Polah> KM0201, oh yeah.  Thank you!
[17:23] <BobMarley> hello
[17:23] <BobMarley> somebody know some app that when i turn off my pc and restore it, i have the exact environment i have turned it off
[17:23] <bobweaver> hello BobMarley  nice name do you have a Ubuntu related question ?
[17:24] <escott> harushimo, what is the question
[17:24] <bobweaver> nope sorry BobMarley
[17:24] <Polah> BobMarley, use suspend or hibernate.
[17:24] <harushimo> the question right now I have 160 gb hard drive which is being used for the OS. I want to use 1 tb as backup drive
[17:24] <BobMarley> bobweaver, Polah that app would be very usefull
[17:24] <harushimo> I'm currently doing a reinstall
[17:25] <ztag100> Just restarted my computer, now I'm getting an error "Target filesystem doesn't have requested /bin/init"
[17:25] <harushimo> I want to know what mount point should I exactly use when I want to use this 1 tb hard drive
[17:25] <escott> harushimo, so what part of this is the question?
[17:25] <IdleOne> BobMarley: I believe you can select to reload previous session at the login screen
[17:25] <harushimo> when I log into the system, I have access to it
[17:25] <Polah> BobMarley, it's not an app, it's a build in command. Do man pm-suspend, or you can just go to your shut down button and select suspend or hibernate
[17:25] <escott> harushimo, you can use whatever mount point you want. /media/backup or /mnt/backup would be sensible locations
[17:25] <BobMarley> Polah, i can do it but if teke off the current nor the hibernate nor the supend bring back my previous environment
[17:26] <harushimo> I can create the folder and have access to that folder in the system right after I do the reinstall
[17:26] <harushimo> I know I have problems where the mount point didn't properly work
[17:26] <linuxjones> can i use the software center to upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu all together?
[17:26] <harushimo> that is why i'm asking the question
[17:26] <Polah> BobMarley, hibernate should; it saves state to drives. Suspend stores state in memory which will be wiped when it loses power.
[17:26] <xangua> !upgrade | linuxjones
[17:26] <IdleOne> harushimo: you have not asked a question yet
[17:27] <pooltable> help how to add extract here in the file opation???
[17:27] <Polah> harushimo, what do you mean it didn't work properly?
[17:27] <harushimo> the question is what is prefer mount point to use when you have two hard drives?
[17:27] <roger_black> when i start logkeys in ubuntu 12.04 it just hangs, it does not create any file nor it works, just hangs, what should i do ?
[17:27] <harushimo> I couldn't access the drive
[17:27] <harushimo> after the installed
[17:27] <harushimo> luckily nothing was on it
[17:27] <urlwolf> re: my problem of not having virtual terminals... the terminals are listed on ps aux | grep tty. Maybe the shortcuts are overriden by kwin?
[17:27] <Polah> harushimo, something in /mnt/ or /media/. Did you add the appropriate entry to your fstab?
[17:27] <escott> harushimo, the mount point is up to you.
[17:28] <harushimo> i figured
[17:28] <harushimo> thank you
[17:28] <harushimo> I'm doing the reinstall right now
[17:31] <tpw_rules> how can i skip checking for disks in the boot process?
[17:31] <BobMarley> Polah, https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/hardware/C/pm-suspending.html    ---> seems that hibernation will do my job, thank for the advise, i will try it
[17:31] <tpw_rules> every time i start my computer, it complains that a disk is missing which i removed from it a while ago. i have to press a key to skip it
[17:31] <escott> tpw_rules, the last column in /etc/fstab
[17:32] <tpw_rules> okay, thanks
[17:32] <tpw_rules> i'll try that
[17:32] <Polah> tpw_rules, comment out or remove the entry from your fstab so it doesn't try to load it on boot
[17:32] <tpw_rules> should i remove the entry completely?
[17:33] <Polah> tpw_rules, you could do. Personally I'd just comment it out in case you use it later.
[17:33] <png85> if you dont plan to re-add the disk to the system i guess you can, otherwise just set the last column in its line to 0 to skip filesystem checks during boot
[17:33] <tpw_rules> it was already set to 0, i commented it out
[17:34] <tpw_rules> it's removed because it had a head crash
[17:34] <linuxfreaker> Unable to install Ubuntu 10.04 on Dell R620 machine
[17:34] <tpw_rules> the fs type is swap, does it think the swap parittion is there?
[17:34] <linuxfreaker> through UEFI mode
[17:35] <linuxfreaker> Any idea if 10.04 supports UEFI mode
[17:35] <escott> tpw_rules, swap partitions dont have an fsck
[17:35] <tpw_rules> it wasn't fsck
[17:35] <tpw_rules> it just said "Waiting for disk <UUID>, Press S to skip mount"
[17:36] <escott> linuxfreaker, probably not as well, but you could try and install grub-efi. alternately you might install a smaller 12.04 (minimal) just to get a copy of grub-efi
[17:37] <Somelauw> Something I have seen recently a lot in firefox is that when I open a flash movie in one tab, it shines though the contents of the other tabs if their background color is white.
[17:37] <linuxfreaker> escott: I am facing issue with 11.10 too
[17:37] <javierf_> Hi! I've got a problem with jdk-jave in ubuntu 12.04. Since I tried to install it and something went wrong, everytime I try to install another application terminal tries to process oracle-java7-installer but finds errors, so it can't be installer neither uninstalled. How could I fix this?
[17:37] <linuxfreaker> escott: Doesnt grub-efi included in 10.04 or 11.10
[17:38] <escott> linuxfreaker, i dont know i just try to avoid efi
[17:38] <linuxfreaker> escott: How to install grub-efi during installation phase?
[17:38] <linuxfreaker> escott: All I tried selecting UEFI Mode > Boot Option > bootx86.efi
[17:39] <linuxfreaker> escott: But it dint work
[17:39] <linuxfreaker> escott: How shall I install grub-efi and where to download from? Can you help me with this?
[17:39] <escott> linuxfreaker, i dont know what that does. does that do a bios boot
[17:39] <Aster> Polah, so, how would I set up this LAN trade thing?
[17:39] <ikonia> linuxfreaker: you need to start defing thigs like "doesn't work"
[17:39] <Aster> With the etho cable?
[17:39] <ikonia> linuxfreaker: or else my answer will be "make it work"
[17:40] <akm> can somebody tell me that could could i install openssl c lib in my ubuntu12.x
[17:41] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: When I tried inserting DVD of 10.04 , I selected UEFI Mode(instead of BIOS Mode)..it showed "error:prefix not found" and then displayed GRUB menu..when I select any option it remains black
[17:41] <linuxfreaker> screen
[17:41] <ikonia> akm: what do you want to do ?
[17:41] <Polah> Aster: You'll have to ask someone else about that; I don't know much about rsync, sorry.
[17:42] <Aster> Okay.
[17:42] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: It work with BIOS Mode but doesnt display anything after GRUB menu gets displayed
[17:43] <anon_> I want to install a German GUI on a Japanese Ubuntu 12.04. What package(s) do I have to install?
[17:43] <ikonia> linuxfreaker: where/when does it display that error, during the install or after the install is done
[17:43] <tensorpudding> anon_, what do you mean?
[17:43] <xangua> anon_: open language support  and install all languages you want
[17:44] <xmarkinox> hi
[17:44] <xmarkinox> !list
[17:44] <tensorpudding> anon_, do what xangua said, you might have to configure input method support if you want to support german typing
[17:44] <anon_> tensorpudding, xangua, I prefer the command line as everything is Japanese. I want to have Libre Office in German.
[17:44] <xmarkinox> bye
[17:44] <xangua> anon_: language-pack-de, language-pack-de-base
[17:44] <hapster> Hi. Any chance NVIDIA will provide binary drivers for Ubuntu/other Linux distros once Ubuntu moves to Wayland?
[17:45] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: TO be clear....Power-On Dell Machine > Pressed F11 > Select UEFI Mode > Choose DVD > ISOLinux shows up > "error:prefix not found" > GRUB Menu > Nothing getting displayed
[17:45] <tensorpudding> i would guess that in order to launch an app with a different localization than usual you'd have to set some variables
[17:45] <anon_> xangua, thx
[17:45] <tensorpudding> but i have no idea if that works
[17:45] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: Nothing is installed and I am inserting DVD for installation

[17:46] <harushimo> i'm getting a unknown filesystem error after my complete reinstallation. it is in the grub rescue screen
[17:46] <harushimo> what I do?
[17:47] <escott> harushimo, tell us some details about your system. does it have multiple disks?
[17:47] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/foundations-bugs/2012-February/066560.html
[17:47] <escott> harushimo, did you select any non-standard options (lvm, mdadm, btrfs, etc)
[17:48] <harushimo> it has two hard drives. It has a 160 gb and 1 tb
[17:48] <harushimo> no
[17:48] <harushimo> I selected for my 160 in this boot--> ext 4, swap, and reiserfs partitons
[17:48] <harushimo> and for 1tb it is reiserfs
[17:49] <escott> harushimo, what is / on? what is /boot on?
[17:49] <harushimo> for 160 gb has a root partition which is reiserfs
[17:49] <linuxfreaker> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/632775
[17:49] <harushimo> the 1 tb doesn't have one
[17:49] <harushimo> it is backup drive
[17:50] <dontknow> which one should use "gksu" or "gksudo"?
[17:50] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: any idea?
[17:50] <escott> harushimo, perhaps the initrd doesnt have the reiser module. you might need to add it to modules and update-initramfs
[17:50] <iceroot> dontknow: imo gksu is coming from kde/qt and gksudo from gnome
[17:50] <linuxfreaker> escott: any idea?
[17:50] <harushimo> how would do I that
[17:50] <escott> dontknow, i think they are the same
[17:50] <lorddelta> Oh the wonderful world of Operating Systems. You never appreciate them as much as when you realize you can do multiple things at once...without a GUI (or including several GUIs, depending on how much RAM/CPU you have)
[17:50] <harushimo> I'm in the grub rescue screen
[17:51] <yeats> dontknow: open a terminal and type 'man gksu' - it will explain what you're looking for
[17:51] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: The bug shows the fix but dont know which version has that fix
[17:51] <escott> dontknow, gksudo is a symlink to gksu so it probably doesnt matter which one you use
[17:52] <escott> harushimo, you arent going to be able to fix it in the rescue screen. you'll need to boot the livecd and chroot in
[17:52] <dontknow> escott, they are not same
[17:53] <harushimo> when chroot in, then do an sudo update-initrafms?
[17:53] <harushimo> thanks
[17:55] <klest> Hello people I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and the corresponding Java 7 and have a strange problem. I need to open a .jnlp file and there is a pop up which asks me with which application I would like to open it. there was no problem with Java 6, the prompt finds itself the good Java "bin" - so what would be the "bin" to open .jnlp in Java 7??
[17:56] <harushimo> what type of file journaling system is prefered for the home directory? I've been using reiserfs for like 7 years
[17:56] <escott> harushimo, ext4
[17:56] <harushimo> and the root directory
[17:56] <harushimo> is that same for root too?
[17:56] <harushimo> explain me the difference between ext4 vs reisferfs
[17:57] <escott> harushimo, its the default choice. btrfs is the likely successor
[17:57] <harushimo> oh really
[17:57] <Aress> Maybe someone can recommend my a editor like notepad++
[17:57] <harushimo> I didn't know that
[17:57] <Dr_willis> Aress,  try geany
[17:57] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: What u suggest?
[17:57] <escott> harushimo, reiserfs was written by hans reiser who is in prison for murder
[17:57] <ignacio> hola algien save porque mi resoulcion bajo al poner drivers y no deetcta monitore
[17:57] <harushimo> for root partition, I'm guessing ext4 is prefer too
[17:57] <harushimo> oh
[17:57] <harushimo> I didn't know that
[17:58] <physically_fit> how do i buy music from available in the iTunes store? is the only alternative to install Wine?
[17:58] <escott> harushimo, needless to say his personal skills may not have been the best, so it never got accepted by the mainline linux kernel community
[17:58] <Dr_willis> physically_fit,  best bet would be buy music from sites that dont put on silly DRM.
[17:58] <Dr_willis> physically_fit,  i dont think itunes works in wine.
[17:59] <harushimo> oh okay
[17:59] <harushimo> I'll start using ext4
[17:59] <harushimo> thank you
[17:59] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, i want to buy Sleigh Bells' last album and their website redirects me to itunes.
[18:00] <escott> harushimo, if you *must* have the coolest fs with the best features try btrfs
[18:00] <Dr_willis> physically_fit,  I wouldent buy anything from Apple... ever..
[18:00] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, ok, i understand your position.
[18:00] <harushimo> ok can you use btrfs for the root and home directory
[18:00] <harushimo> ?
[18:00] <anon_> xangua, it says that language-pack-de is already the latest version. However when logging into Ubuntu there is no option to choose the language. How can I switch the GUI of Ubuntu from Japanese to German?
[18:00] <harushimo> I'll do use that
[18:01] <harushimo> or should I do a different file system for root and home directory?
[18:01] <escott> harushimo, btrfs should not be used for /boot but its fine as a /
[18:01] <harushimo> I'm using ext4 for /boot
[18:02] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, it's on Amazon. can i buy it there?
[18:02] <nannes> Hi! i'm in trubles :( Flash videos aren't viewed in any case... Test pages for flash say "OK! Your flashplayer 11.1xxx has been installed correctly" but if I try any video, the "MISSING PLUGIN" message appears
[18:02] <nannes> I'm with Lubuntu11.10...I'm getting crazy http://imagebin.org/212253  &&  http://imagebin.org/212254
[18:02] <Dr_willis> physically_fit,  no idea if amazon has DRM protection.. i dont think they do.. there IS the ubuntu-one music store also.
[18:02] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, i usually pirate music, but i like their album so much, so i want ti support the band
[18:03] <anon_> Anybody?
[18:03] <Dr_willis> and google has their own music store as well.
[18:03] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, ubuntu one doesn't show them
[18:03] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, i already searched there
[18:03] <Dr_willis> ive never even looked at the U1 store. :)

[18:04] <owner512> hello, i hate the new style from ubuntu ( i install 11.xx). how can i use the old style?
[18:04] <escott> !notunity | owner512
[18:04] <anon_> Is there a command with which I switch Ubuntu GUI from Japanese to German?
[18:05] <owner512> thx guys
[18:05] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, listen to their last album (Reign of Terror) it's a balanced mixture of metal and pop. you probably like one of those genres.
[18:05] <harushimo> escott: can you use the same file journaling system for root and the home directory or shoudl it be different?
[18:05] <kino> Привет всем!!!
[18:06] <Dr_willis> physically_fit,  ive bought like 2 music cd;s in the last 15 years.......
[18:06] <physically_fit> Dr_willis, what bands?
[18:06] <Dr_willis> Weird Al. :P
[18:06] <escott> harushimo, one of the nicer features of btrfs is subvolumes a default setup will have a subvolume for / and /home on the same partition
[18:06] <physically_fit> oh ok
[18:06] <Dr_willis> you reach an age.. where its just more background noise. ;)
[18:06] <Dr_willis> night all..
[18:06] <LinuxMonkey> !ot
[18:07] <physically_fit> night Dr_willis
[18:07] <harushimo> that is what I'm doing

[18:12] <gauravkittz> @raven which ubuntu version are you using
[18:12] <tyteen4a03> escott: where is terminal emulator in 12.04? can't seem to find it
[18:12] <raven> gauravkittz 12.04
[18:12] <escott> tyteen4a03, hit the windows key and type terminal
[18:12] <domino14> where are the various places that the OOM killer can write its logs in Ubuntu 10.10 server?
[18:13] <tyteen4a03> escott: what is the command again?
[18:13] <Resistance> !10.10 | domino14, FYI
[18:13] <gauravkittz> raven, did you install it from the repo?
[18:13] <escott> what command was this
[18:13] <raven> gauravkittz yes
[18:13] <domino14> ok.. does that mean no one can answer my question?
[18:13] <tyteen4a03> escott: something about parted and /dev/sda
[18:13] <escott> tyteen4a03, sudo parted -l /dev/sda
[18:13] <tyteen4a03> ok
[18:13] <Resistance> domino14:  no, its just a note that 10.10 isnt supported anymore, so you wont get any updates (especially security updates)
[18:13] <KM0201> domino14: that means your OS is end of life...
[18:13] <xangua> domino14: since you are using an unsupported version
[18:13] <Resistance> domino14:  you can probably still get answers, but it'd be best for you to upgrade
[18:13] <domino14> it's like a year and a half old
[18:14] <KM0201> domino14: non-LTS is supported for 18mo.
[18:14] <tyteen4a03> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/985863/

[18:26] <wilee-nilee> escott, you can run that chroot in one line am I right?
[18:26] <iceroot> linuxfreaker: why?
[18:26] <domino14> what logs do i search for oom-killer messages?
[18:26] <iceroot> domino14: syslog

[18:26] <linuxfreaker> iceroot: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588075

[18:27] <escott> domino14, doubt the oom killer does much logging that would somewhat defeat the purpose
[18:27] <tyteen4a03> escott, thanks, i will try now
[18:27] <tyteen4a03> *try rebooting
[18:27] <linuxfreaker> iceroot: The new GRUB is throwing the error while booting 10.04 through UEFI Mode

[18:27] <wilee-nilee> escott, Ah I see it is missing any && between the sudo's
[18:27] <domino14> escott: i just want to determine if the oom killer is actually killing a process

[18:30] <escott> domino14, so with over 2GB free your first assumption is the oom killer?
[18:31] <domino14> it shouldnt be, but someone told me that when the process disappears like that leaving no stack trace in the log, to look at the OOM killer
[18:31] <domino14> this is redis

[18:42] <Icehawk78> I recently upgraded to 12.04 and when I try to log on, I get what looks like a terminal screen filled with... maybe logs? and then it kicks me back to the login screen, but I'm unable to get it to let me see what is displaying. If I manually log in as the same user from a command line, I have no issues, so I assume it's something to do with the GUI
[18:44] <Icehawk78> Any recommendations on either how to see what that screen is showing me without immediately kicking me back to the login screen, or to view some logs from a shell?
[18:44] <wilee-nilee> raven, I don't think that is a particular bug, sometimes when bootinb from a usb the HD will read as sdb or another and the non custom install defaults to a sda mbr.

[18:45] <osmosis> how do I get rid of the sticky windows stickey mouse behavior?

[18:50] <linuxfreaker> I read UEFIBooting link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting which states that use grub latest version if your dell server is not functioning
[18:50] <linuxfreaker> How shall I upgrade my GRUB..do I need to create a complete new ISO with latest GRUB version
[18:50] <linuxfreaker> it suggest Some machines (all Dell laptops, all new Apple from 2010 on, some Lenovo) have bugs in their UEFI firmware, preventing them from booting (black screen). Linux Kernel 3.0 (and higher versions) includes patches with workarounds for them. It is therefore recommended to use a Linux kernel of version 3.0 or higher.

[18:56] <cypher-neo> Hello. I was following instructions online to change my mouse cursor, but it doesn't seem to work exactly the way the tutorial suggested. I changed the theme using gnome-tweak-tool, then used "sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme" to switch the entire theme over to the correct cursor. And finally I Alt-F2'd and "compiz --replace"... but!! The cursor did not change. I ended up having to restart to get the cursor to cha
[18:56] <cypher-neo> nge. Is there any way to restart a Unity or compiz session without closing all the programs I have open?
[18:56] <escott> tyteen4a03, not really. its pretty hard to diagnose these things from afar. you claim that grub was installed correctly and yet grub doesnt seem to load. if grub-install was installed to the mbr's of both disks it should be impossible for anything to boot
[18:56] <ozzloy> linuxfreaker, i could scan iwconfig and look for lines starting at column 0 that don't have "no wireless extensions", but i'd rather get back a list of names of wireless cards directly.  dmidecode looks like it would also have to be parsed
[18:57] <ozzloy> linuxfreaker, thanks though, those look promising
[18:57] <Ascavasaion> Can someone here tell me how or where to look for setting up a home entertainment system between Linux machine and TV.  Where movies are loaded via remote control.  Friend of mine had something along those lines, but never asked him how or what it entailed.
[18:57] <domino14> is there anything else that can kill an app besides the oom-killer?
[18:57] <domino14> it left no stack trace
[18:57] <domino14> no signal in the log
[18:57] <daftykins> Ascavasaion: xbmc.org ?
[18:57] <linuxfreaker> ozzloy: what does iwconfig shows>?
[18:58] <Ascavasaion> daftykins: Thank you... will look there... thanks for the pointer.
[18:58] <escott> domino14, why couldn't it just segfault
[18:58] <daftykins> np :)
[18:58] <ClientAlive> If I'm using ubuntu server 12.04 and awesome window manager, how can I find out what terminal emulator is being used and increase the font size of it?
[18:58] <tyteen4a03> escott: I guess I will have to reinstall ubuntu then. thanks for your help
[18:58] <domino14> escott: wouldnt that leave some trace somewhere
[18:59] <escott> domino14, not necessarily
[18:59] <tyteen4a03> escott: this time should I choose /dev/sda as my boot loader installation point?
[18:59] <escott> tyteen4a03, what did you pick last time?
[19:00] <tyteen4a03> I forgot
[19:00] <Dj_FlyBy> j #Samba
[19:00] <tyteen4a03> I probably chose sda6
[19:00] <ozzloy> linuxfreaker, http://pastebin.com/9ea6tUjA
[19:00] <escott> tyteen4a03, the boot loader is always installed to the mbr not the pbr
[19:01] <escott> tyteen4a03, so sda not sda6
[19:01] <tyteen4a03> ok

[19:16] <cplusplus> Hello. I need some help with network connections on Ubuntu 12.04. I installed it on my 2nd laptop and everything was fine. But when I rebooted it, it cannot detect the wired network anymore. It says smartlink modem daemon is missing. What should I do? Please help.
[19:17] <Kiryx> Weird thing happened with Keyboard shortcuts. I am using gnome3, when I open Keyboard shortcuts I see all of them as Disabled, yet most of them work as expected. I can't add anything new or alter anything too
[19:17] <rolandb> can anyone recommend a good vpn provider?
[19:17] <Kiryx> Did anyone have similar issue ?

[19:18] <nickgaw> Hi, Is it possible to install the desktop or server version of ubuntu 12.04 on it's own partition when doing the installation from an existing debian installed system like boot straping the install where I would use debian to do the ubuntu installation?

[19:20] <merben> hi, i need some help with vmware workstation 8.0.0 and the kernel 3.2.0, it doesn't work any more  is there any patch to install ? help please
[19:21] <daftykins> nickgaw: just boot the media, use manual partitioning and be careful on where you put GRUB
[19:21] <Guest49109> čaute
[19:22] <cplusplus> Hi. Where can I download smartlink modem daemon for the current kernel (<IP_ADDRESS>-generic-pae) ?
[19:22] <nickgaw> so no method exists like in debian you can use debootstrap to download the packages then do the installation that way on to a chroot?
[19:25] <PySharky> Hey guys i set up a ubuntu for python development and testing, i need to be able to login as root, i already fixed that but i wanted to install gnome classic, i can log into gnome classi with the regular user but root is stuck in unity
[19:25] <PySharky> any ideas about how to fix this
[19:26] <Guest49109> cat anyone here in Slovak
[19:26] <PySharky> btw im doing my development on 11.10
[19:27] <WHAT_LEFT> what file do i change to make the default terminal bash?
[19:27] <MonkeyDust> !root| PySharky
[19:27] <Guest49109> cat anyone here in Slovak
[19:28] <jeeves_moss> what causes "smtpd[32234]: lost connection after EHLO from" with postfix?  no one is able to send e-mail
[19:28] <MonkeyDust> WHAT_LEFT  bash *is* the default
[19:28] <PySharky> MonkeyDust, yea i know all about root the point is i simple need it for my development box, besides this box is not meant to be a desktop box just dev
[19:28] <WHAT_LEFT> MonkeyDust: not on some server a friend lent me
[19:29] <MonkeyDust> WHAT_LEFT  i missed that part in your uestion
[19:29] <phaedra> !si Guest49109
[19:29] <MonkeyDust> PySharky  guess it's not possible to login as root, not sure, though
[19:30] <phaedra> !si | Guest49109
[19:30] <nickgaw> you just set the root password using sudo
[19:30] <PySharky> MonkeyDust, actually it is possible  and quite easy, the question is how to change the root account to gnome classic it is stuck in unity even though gnome classic is installed/selected
[19:31] <PySharky> at login regular account can be set to gnome classic and works fine but if i log in as root it keeps logging into unity
[19:34] <PySharky> hasn't anyone tried this before?
[19:35] <Oer> PySharky, "log in as root¨ ??
[19:35] <PySharky> no
[19:35] <PySharky> that works fine
[19:35] <PySharky> i cannot change unity to gnome classic for the root account
[19:36] <ikonia> PySharky: you don't login to X11 with root
[19:37] <PySharky> please guys i don't need any speaches about root, i need it for my python development project no way around it and its only a disposable dev box
[19:37] <ikonia> PySharky: you do not need it
[19:37] <ikonia> PySharky: there is zero reason to login to X11 as root
[19:38] <Oer> PySharky, there is no root account ( it is standard disabled in ubuntu), so i wonder what you try to do.
[19:38] <PySharky> so boring people telling me what i am and am not supposed to do
[19:39] <ikonia> PySharky: so boring people trying to do what ubuntu is designed to not do
[19:39] <PySharky> i do need root to test out some program function i am designing since they require root privs
[19:39] <LjL> PySharky: feel free to do what you want, but we do not support logging in as root here, to the best of our knowledge your computer could explode if you do that.
[19:39] <ikonia> PySharky: you do not need root
[19:40] <PySharky> look ok to each his own, if you have an answer about why root is locked to untiy id like to hear the answer
[19:41] <AxonetBE> I'm updating from 9.10 to 10.04 and get this during update. Somebody knows what it means?
[19:41] <AxonetBE> https://gist.github.com/1317bba6ef7258c12e27
[19:41] <ikonia> PySharky: root is locked - full stop
[19:41] <PySharky> ikonia, amazing the box beside me is logged in right now
[19:41] <nopf> PySharky: isn't that obvious? any one cool enough to login as root surely has just apt-get removed the unity
[19:41] <ikonia> PySharky: no it's not, or you wouldn't be asking "why is it locked"
[19:42] <PySharky> ikonia,  you sitill didn't read my acutal question did you
[19:42] <PySharky> nopf, ok i see
[19:43] <ikonia> PySharky: you can't change the session for the root user under unity ?
[19:43] <PySharky> still doesn't explaiin why it cant be changed at the login
[19:43] <AxonetBE> I got always 'error: cannot read from `/dev/sdb'." when part of ubuntu is updating
[19:43] <ikonia> AxonetBE: is /dev/sdb there ?
[19:43] <AxonetBE> no I don't have this
[19:44] <Ucciucci> Hi to everyone
[19:44] <nopf> PySharky: nobody has tried loggin in as root under x because it's a bad idea and you don't need to, whatever you're doing... (except maybe for developing a new x server, where being root might be more convenient for a while)
[19:44] <AxonetBE> ikonia: no, not there.
[19:45] <Oer> AxonetBE, check your software sources, is the CD selected as source?
[19:45] <midgaze> any trick to getting the native zfs stuff working right?  I can import my FreeBSD pool but it's pretty broken
[19:46] <phoenix_firebrd> how do i increase the resolution of the video thumbnails shown by the nautilus
[19:46] <ikonia> AxonetBE: ok, so that's why it can't open it
[19:46] <AxonetBE> Oer: it is a server and I run via ssh and via the update tool sudo do-release-upgrade
[19:46] <midgaze> processes stalled in uninterruptible IO wait, even when it's "working" each zfs command takes multiple seconds to run
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> phoenix_firebrd: if you make the icons bigger, does that help?
[19:47] <AxonetBE> ikonia: yes but it is the sudo do-release-upgrade that I use so don't know why he looks for it
[19:47] <glcheetham> anyone have experience with SDL_net?
[19:47] <phoenix_firebrd> ActionParsnip, no, the size of the thumbnail increases , but the resolution of the thumbnail is poor and looks bad due to over scaling
[19:48] <ikonia> AxonetBE: looks like it's referenced in your grub config
[19:50] <AxonetBE> ikonia: everything went fine till this (log) https://gist.github.com/1317bba6ef7258c12e27

[19:53] <newb100> How do I change screen saver settings from the terminal?
[19:53] <ikonia> AxonetBE: you are using meta devices
[19:53] <ikonia> AxonetBE: they are made up of multiple disks
[19:53] <AxonetBE> ikonia: it is a server on OVH so no idea
[19:54] <ikonia> AxonetBE: ok, so /dev/md* is a metadevice made up of multiple disks
[19:54] <ikonia> AxonetBE: please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[19:55] <AxonetBE> ikonia:  https://gist.github.com/2689935
[19:55] <ikonia> AxonetBE: right, so you do have a /dev/sdb
[19:56] <newb100> How do I change screen saver settings from the terminal?
[19:56] <AxonetBE> ikonia: so it means?
[19:56] <ikonia> AxonetBE: so it means there is a /dev/sdb - you need to look at whats trying to access it and why it can't
[19:57] <ikonia> AxonetBE: also look at your /etc/fstab
[19:57] <ikonia> AxonetBE: and /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:57] <AxonetBE> ikonia: Running postinst hook script /usr/sbin/update-grub. this occurs the problem
[19:58] <mfb> anyone know how to add the temporary guest accounts to a group when they are created?

[19:59] <SaNFouR> ikonia how ? i can get one
[19:59] <AxonetBE> ikonia: where to have to look at in the grub.cnf?
[19:59] <ikonia> SaNFouR: find a provider
[20:00] <ikonia> AxonetBE: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:00] <mfb> in my case i want to automatically add the guest users to debian-tor group, but could also be useful for adding them to dialout group etc.
[20:00] <AxonetBE> ikonia:  /boot/grub/menu.lst: No such file or directory
[20:00] <ikonia> AxonetBE: on a 9.10 machine ?
[20:01] <AxonetBE> but it is already updated to 10.04

[20:05] <Noo-Onee>  Hi
[20:05] <ikonia> !info linux-image natty
[20:06] <Noo-Onee> Hello people
[20:06] <dns_issue> I am having trouble with my ubuntu 12.04 LTS server setup with static ip.  I cannot get ubuntu to recognize the "search xyz.com xyz.local" entries in the resolv.conf..
[20:06] <ikonia> !info linux-image lucid
[20:06] <dns_issue> any brave soles here who have been bitten by ubuntu before ?
[20:06] <ikonia> dns_issue: what ?
[20:07] <Leestons> dns_issue:  I don't understand you either
[20:07] <dns_issue> I have static IP address on ubuntu server 12.04
[20:08] <dns_issue> I am running local bind for internal resolution
[20:08] <naxil> hello
[20:08] <dns_issue> .. ubuntu does not honor the "search domain1 domain2 domain3" string in the resolv.conf settings
[20:08] <ikonia> dns_issue: it's changed in 12.04 to use a dnsmasq config
[20:09] <naxil> i have a problem with firefox.. i have install a flashplugin (youtube) and now if i try to start video .. firefox shutdown automatic
[20:09] <dns_issue> can anyone tell me how to get rid of dnsmasq.. or why to use dnsmasq to begin with ?
[20:09] <havard_> Anyone know how to solve this problem with wine: "Internal errors - invalid parameteres received"
[20:09] <ikonia> dns_issue: "why to use dnsmasq" ?
[20:09] <ikonia> dns_issue: do you want to configure dnsmasq ?
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> dns_issue: you can set DNS servers in network manager
[20:10] <dns_issue> no network manager.
[20:10] <dns_issue> headless server
[20:10] <dns_issue> no gui
[20:11] <nannes> Hi. I think the adobe flashplayer has a bug....
[20:11] <dns_issue> is dnsmasq enabled by default in 12.04  ?
[20:11] <nannes> many people is having a crash problem with flash 11.2
[20:11] <nannes> in all browsers
[20:11] <havard_> Anyone know how to solve this problem with wine: "Internal errors - invalid parameteres received"
[20:11] <dns_issue> i am not using dnsmasq
[20:12] <ikonia> dns_issue: it's enabled by default
[20:12] <ikonia> dns_issue: so you are using dnsmasq, hence why resolv.conf is being ignored
[20:12] <dns_issue> where are the dnsmasq config files ?.. how do I verify ?
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> dns_issue: could use wicd-curses then, nice UI there
[20:13] <bastidrazor> dns_issue: /etc/dnsmasq.conf
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> dns_issue: did you tell dnsmasq to listen on <IP_ADDRESS> if you are only using it as a local dns cache. I use it in that way
[20:14] <dns_issue> @ActionParsnip ?  what is wicd-cruses ?
[20:14] <dns_issue> no dnsmasq at all
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> dns_issue: a text based network manager tool, really handy (specially for wifi configs)
[20:14] <havard_> Anyone know how to solve this problem with wine: "Internal errors - invalid parameteres received"
[20:14] <Sidewinder> !repeat | havard_
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> dns_issue: that's cool. you can set dns in wicd-curses and it will create resolv.conf just like network manager does
[20:14] <dns_issue> no wifi.. static ubuntu LTS server for internal backend processing. not desktop
[20:15] <dkmt> hi everyone
[20:15] <Leestons> dkmt: hi
[20:15] <naxil> nannes i have solve.. i have installed chromium from ubuntu software center
[20:15] <cipher_nl> Hi guys. Is it normal my new Ivy Bridge system freezes under a fresh installation of Ubuntu 12.04 just using the Firefox browser? I had it three times now. No memtest86 errors came up; memory tested 24+ hours. Windows runs fine.
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> dns_issue: its just an example, its a good tool to use
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> cipher_nl: do other apps cause a freeze?
[20:16] <AxonetBE> ikonia: ok update went fine, but I think there are problems with the grub, how can I check everything is fine because server needs restart...
[20:17] <cipher_nl> ActionParsnip: i wouldn't know.. it doesn't crash using Terminal. Haven't really used other applications. It ran stable for 6+ hours but crashes about then.
[20:17] <cipher_nl> ActionParsnip: maybe it is the graphics driver for Intel HD4000 (integrated in ivy bridge CPU). But i cannot change the driver to a closed-source driver via "Additional Drivers". I might try another videocard though.
[20:18] <cipher_nl> Most of the crashes I had were due to the use of open source nVidia/ATi graphics drivers; the crashes disappeared when using the closed source drivers. But that's not possible with Intel, right? :(
[20:19] <Oer> cipher_nl, maybe there is an other reason for ivy-bridge heating issues > http://www.techenclave.com/latest-technology-news/reason-behind-ivy-bridge-s-130922/
[20:19] <oops> how can I enable the pidgin menu: http://i.imgur.com/jJBfO.png ?
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> cipher_nl: there is no closed source driver for the chip
[20:19] <cipher_nl> Oer: i know all about that; the issue is not temperature trust me. It runs very cool and non-overclocked. It passes Memtest86+ and some stability torture tests under windows
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> cipher_nl: are you also using an nvidia GPU in the same system>
[20:20] <Darkenvy> Im looking for documentation on how to make your own Gnome3 themes
[20:21] <cipher_nl> ActionParsnip: nope its a vanilla system; motherboard + cpu + mem + 2 SSD only. But i have had those issues with nVidia/ATi in the past with Ubuntu. So that's why I suspect the video driver first...  But I can insert an nVidia card in the PCI-express, if it doesn't crash after making that switch, it probably is the Intel driver...
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> oops: which meanu?
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> cipher_nl: if you boot to Unity2D session, is it ok?
[20:22] <oops> ActionParsnip, all menus of pidgin. Buddies, Accounts, Tool, Help, etc.
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> oops: those are in the global menu at the top
[20:22] <cipher_nl> ActionParsnip: good suggestion. i have not tried that yet. I assume this works by logging out and then selecting Unity 2D like in previous releases? Going to try now. :)
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> cipher_nl: the same :)
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> oops: where it says Pidgin Instant Messenger
[20:23] <Aress> Dudes
[20:23] <Aress> I have problem
[20:24] <guntbert> !ask | Aress
[20:24] <oops> ActionParsnip, what is this interface that puts the menu on the top of the screen?
[20:24] <Aress> when I updated from 10 to 11.10 version I can't see programs at top's bar like in 10.10 for ex. skype if I close windows I need to close skype with system monitor then turn it on :( how to fix it ?
[20:25] <ClientAlive> why is it so hard to find info on this?
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> oops: global-menu
[20:25] <ClientAlive> well, info that actually starts at the beginning not the middly
[20:26] <ClientAlive> middle
[20:26] <pambos> How to tell if Cron is running?
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> pambos: ps -ef | grep -i cron
[20:26] <ClientAlive> pambos: ps
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: info on what?
[20:26] <Aress> when I updated from 10 to 11.10 version I can't see programs at top's bar like in 10.10 for ex. skype if I close windows I need to close skype with system monitor then turn it on :( how to fix it ?
[20:26] <xangua> Aress: 10.??
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> Aress: did you upgrade directly from Maverick to Precise?
[20:27] <Aress> Yes
[20:27] <Aress> 10.10
[20:27] <Aress> I did like this
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Aress: so you didn't upgrade to Natty, then to Oneiric
[20:27] <Aress> 10.10 then 11.04 and 11.11
[20:27] <pambos> ActionParsnip: Okay it seems that is running. But still I cannot see the Traffic usage of my server. The server is running plesk.
[20:27] <havard_> Anyone know how to solve this problem with wine: "Internal errors - invalid parameteres received"
[20:27] <xangua> Aress: well you surelly then did something strange to go from 10.10 to 11.10
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Aress: just checking :)
[20:27] <xangua> ooh that
[20:27] <ClientAlive> installing a kvm guest on a logical volume - the beginning part about the lvm stuff (how many? where to mount? if virt-manager has the feature to create it? exact syntax to use in fstab?)
[20:27] <Aress> I just upgraded version with update manager
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> pambos: could use ntop
[20:27] <RawChid> Can't use Adobe flash player - local storage
[20:28] <RawChid> It crashes after asking for permission. In Firefox and Chromium, any ideas?
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> RawChid: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'    Thanks
[20:28] <ClientAlive> I just spent the last 2.5 hrs looking for it
[20:29] <pambos> ActionParsnip: But if i install ntop i will only able to see the traffic through putty? i need to show the traffic in the server interface.
[20:29] <Aress> I had same problem in the past
[20:29] <Aress> :(
[20:29] <Aress> It doesn't jump to top's line
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> pambos: ntop watches the interface itself
[20:30] <xangua> Aress: well if you want to quit skype from it's window use the Quit option in the menu or hit Control+Q ; it has always been like this
[20:30] <xangua> if you close just the windows skype still runs in the background

[20:31] <ActionParsnip> Aress: have you tried uninstalling it, renaming ~/.Skype   then reinstalling the deb from the skype site and rerunning it?

[20:32] <Aress> before upgrading was fine
[20:32] <Aress> 1 year ago was same *****
[20:32] <dixoncx> Help... Problem with mounting NTFS drive. My fstab entry: http://pastebin.com/fp0wVuDa  It works fine in nautlius, but i cant access drive with other applications like gedit. http://imagebin.org/212267 ,  http://imagebin.org/212266
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> Aress: well all you've been saying is skype
[20:32] <RawChid> This seems like the same problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/97887/cant-use-adobe-flash-player-local-storage   But I don't see a fix.
[20:32] <Aress> It's just example
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> Aress: you don't need to type in caps, I can read lowercase just as easily
[20:32] <Aress> I don't use caps
[20:32] <Aress> I use shift :D
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> Aress: well you never said 'for example' so it looks like its purely a skpe issue, doesn't it?
[20:33] <ircnode0> acording to man date that I can set time by using --set=STRING. How I know which format "STRING" take in terminal?
[20:33] <Aress> "for ex. skype if I close windows I need to close skype with system monitor "
[20:33] <Aress> I said
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> Aress: if you create a new user and log in as that, is it the same?
[20:33] <rfictus> hi all
[20:34] <Random832> ircnode0: it's very flexible - try it with -d first if you're not sure if your format will work

[20:40] <ActionParsnip> Aress: you can configure the system tray to show more icons, skype for me sits in the unity bar
[20:40] <pambos> ActionParsnip: ntop by default use 3000 port to display network usage via webbrowser. I used this command netstat -tulpn | grep :3000 and nothing happened. any ideas?
[20:40] <Anti-Microsoft> hi
[20:40] <Aress> But if I want at top's bar what should I do ?
[20:41] <RawChid> It crashes after asking for permission. In Firefox and Chromium, any ideas?
[20:41] <jeremy18> je voudrai savoir comment configuré mon conky merci
[20:41] <MechanisM> anyone knows how to fix it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/986115/
[20:41] <Aress> how to open top's bar's settings? :(
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> dixoncx: can you read it from ~/.gvfs folder
[20:41] <DJones> !fr | jeremy18
[20:42] <RawChid> And I also have blue video's on youtube. One fix is to disable HW acceleration, but the settings menu doesn't work (doesn't react on my mouse clicks)  Any ideas or suggestions concerning Flash on Ubuntu?
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> RawChid: can you make the pastebin I asked for please...
[20:42] <RawChid> Sure ActionParsnip; http://paste.ubuntu.com/986112/
[20:42] <cipher_nl> ActionParsnip: Remember my Ivy Bridge crashing? Under the Unity 2D i now got a crash again; with apport reporting the xserver-xorg-video-intel process has crashes with 'GPU render lockup'. Sounds pretty straightforward; either the CPU made a mistake (overheat; which is not the case) or there are severe crashing bugs that let Ubuntu crash in 2D/3D mode within a few hours of use.
[20:42] <RawChid> I already gave it...
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> RawChid: you can add settings to flash using the /etc/adobe.mms.cfg file :)
[20:43] <cipher_nl> ActionParsnip: should i make a bug report?
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> RawChid: missed it, must have not addressed it to me (as a guess), let me see
[20:43] <Aress> how to open top's bar's settings? :(
[20:43] <RawChid> No problem.
[20:43] <RawChid> I don't have that file ActionParsnip, do I need to create it?
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> RawChid: uninstall flashplugin-installer then enable the partner repo and install the adobe-flashplugin package, it will give 64bit flash for your 64bit OS
[20:44] <Guest6528> what should i search to make a script that takes in from a pipe? like grep?
[20:44] <ClientAlive> hasn't anyone here ever installed a kvm guest to a logical volume before?
[20:44] <RawChid> Oke thnx
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> Guest6528: do you mean like arguments to a script?
[20:46] <aliciapg> does anyone have experience with ps3 media server?
[20:47] <conradzz> So just made a bootable usb of Ubuntu 64 bit edition, and when I try to boot from it, I get a vmlinuz not found
[20:47] <j0bi> is ubuntu 64bit having program and harware incompatibilities
[20:47] <j0bi> i want to intall 12.04 to my dell inspiron 64bit
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> conradzz: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[20:48] <j0bi> but i am afraid if i have uncompatibility problems
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> j0bi: the drivers are compiled for both 32bit and 64bit on the CD
[20:48] <conradzz> no but I will, I did browse through the ISO and noticed there is a vmlinuz file
[20:49] <pambos> Guys, I installed ntop. I tried to start it and i get this error http://pastebin.com/F1GsjKvf any ideas?
[20:49] <Aress> How to customize Top's bar?
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> conradzz: if you don't MD5 test then you have no way of knowing the data you downloaded is healthy and complete
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> pambos: is your interface called eth0?
[20:49] <j0bi> ActionParsnip: what about flash java firefox and other software
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> j0bi: there is 64bit flash and 64bit java
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> j0bi: there is 64bit firefox
[20:50] <naxil> for hspa+ i need special repository?
[20:50] <xangua> Aress: could this be what you search¿ http://linux.wxs.ro/2011/07/14/ubuntu-11-04-fix-show-all-iconsindicators-in-unity-panel%E2%80%99s-notification-area/
[20:50] <RawChid> ActionParsnip: ActionParsnip, installing the adobe-flashplugin didn't help. Still the same issues. How do I need to remove the old flashplugin-installer? (I just did apt-get remove)
[20:50] <conradzz> any recommendations for a simply easy md5 checker?
[20:50] <pambos> ActionParsnip: I have no idea. it is a vps server.
[20:50] <naxil> or ubuntu can command 14.4mbit or 28,8 umts/hspa/hspa+?
[20:50] <Monotoko> does anybody know how I can make xchat remember my username? It always reverts to my Linux username
[20:51] <guntbert> !md5sum | conradzz

[20:51] <Aress> I HATE THIS FUCKING UNITY :@
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> RawChid: yes apt-get is fine
[20:51] <oops> I get the Pidgin menu in Ubuntu only after maximizng Pidgin.
[20:51] <IdleOne> !language | Aress
[20:51] <oops> I can't get the menu without maximizing Pidgin?
[20:51] <png85> Guest6528, just read stuff from standard input; e.g. try cat somefile | perl -e 'while (<STDIN>) { print $_; }' and you'll see how it works
[20:51] <Aress> Sorry
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> Aress: don't use it then, install xfce4, log into xfce session and you'll be ok
[20:51] <j0bi> cain i install 32bit progs to 64bit ubuntu
[20:51] <Aress> but it's really
[20:52]  * Monotoko is still on 10.04
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> j0bi: yes, Precies and Oneiric are multi-arch
[20:52] <rottik9> kinda new, how do i know if i have 12.04 kde gnome or what?   and what is the difference with these?
[20:52] <xangua> rottik9: Ubuntu comes with gnome, Kubuntu with kde
[20:52] <Aress> It's good but I need to add skype terrent and other programs at tops'bar like in 10.10 :(
[20:52] <flack-Z> Aress, me to i hate it also :D
[20:53] <oops> any help with my unity interface question?
[20:53] <rottik9> i added and now boot to edubuntu?
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> rottik9: 12.04 Gnome will use Unity by default, if you have a bar at the bottom you are probably running KDE and a par at the top and bottom will probably be Xubuntu
[20:53] <pambos> Even though it seems to start working I am getting a new error : Please enable make sure that the ntop html/ directory is properly installed
[20:53] <xangua> oops: only put the cursor in the top bar to show the Global Menu
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Aress: xfce will run and look like Maverick Gnome
[20:53] <oops> xangua, like hover the cursor there? no clicking?
[20:53] <pambos> Here about this error https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntop/+bug/915119 they argue Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
[20:54] <mneptok> ActionParsnip: Xubuntu = top panel and bottom dock
[20:54] <pambos> ActionParsnip: I will be very greatful if you answer me one more time :)
[20:54] <oops> can I do something to get back the menu attached to the Pidgin window? It is inconvenient to go to the top corner for every time.
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> pambos: wassup?
[20:54] <Aress> ActionParsnip I just need to add them to that bar where you can turn off pc shows time and your user name
[20:54] <Resistance> pambos:  you might need bugsquad input on this, mind hoping into -bugs about that bug?
[20:55] <rottik9> as well i found voice reconation in windows trough dragon very handy, can i have this on linux?
[20:55] <guest3030> crunchbang test
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> rottik9: there is a project to allow dragon to run
[20:55] <oops> is there a separate unity channel? or unity is a product of ubuntu?
[20:55] <Resistance> pambos:  also, FYI, the system automatically sets 'confirmed' if two or more people show they have thebug
[20:56] <rottik9> I see, i wonder if it strightforward.
[20:56] <ClientAlive> has anyone here even used kvm before?
[20:56] <conradzz> md5 on the iso is fine
[20:56] <Resistance> pambos:  its a launchpad feature - two people say the bug occurs, its an automated change
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> oops: Unity is made by Canonical, the default Gnome shell in Gnome3 is gnome-shell
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: not something I use, tried in #kvm maybe...
[20:56] <pambos> Resistance: so any suggestions how to solve this issue?
[20:56] <oops> ActionParsnip, thanks.
[20:57] <oops> I still have one question. Is there a way to get back the menu attached to the Pidgin window? It is inconvenient to go to the top left corner to use the menu every time.
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> oops: use the HUD ;)
[20:57] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip: yes, I'm logged onto #kvm for a few hrs now - there's 301 ppl logged on there and no one is saying anything to anyone
[20:57] <Resistance> pambos:  wait to see whether or not the bug gets updated/fixed?
[20:57] <oops> ActionParsnip, how can I get that?
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> oops: press ALT once and type what you desire, HUD will search the menus and make selection easy
[20:58] <Resistance> pambos:  not much you can do at this point, with a bug being filed
[20:58] <Aress> ACtionParsnip
[20:58] <ClientAlive> seems I could google till my fingers bleed and not find this piece of info
[20:58] <oops> ActionParsnip, ok
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: try www.duckduckgo.com
[20:58] <usberror> Hi! I created a bootable usb on mac (followed instuctions on ubuntu.com) and when i try to boot from it I get: No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
[20:58] <flack-Z> unity is crazy
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> usberror: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[20:58] <pambos> Resistance: is it safe when installing software to leave the default ports such as the 3000 in the case of ntop ?
[20:58] <conradzz> usberror, how'd you create the usb drive?
[20:59] <Resistance> pambos:  if its listening on localhost only, yep.
[20:59] <RealEyes> is there a converter for rmvb > avi on ubuntu?
[20:59] <Aress> there is a bar at the top which shows you the time language user name and you can turn off pc thorugh it. Is possible to add skype,torrent and else like on 10.10?
[20:59] <usberror> ActionParsnip, its not an MD5 error already checked
[20:59] <Resistance> pambos:  if its listening externally, then that's a toss-up
[20:59] <pambos> Okay thanks very much for the info. I think i might solve it.
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> usberror: its worth a check, many don't and you didn't say you tested :)
[20:59] <Aress> omg
[20:59] <Aress> I wrote gnome-shell replace
[20:59] <Aress> and everything destroyed
[20:59] <Aress> :D
[20:59] <magic_al> i have accidentally overwritten my delete-key with another shortcut and i dont know how to change it back. can anyone help me please?
[21:00] <usberror> conradzz, i followed the instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[21:00] <Aress> how to turn it off ?
[21:00] <conradzz> and did you choose when you boot up to boot from usb?
[21:00] <xacobe_cimadevil> hola *-*
[21:01] <xacobe_cimadevil> nadie habla :c
[21:01] <IdleOne> !es
[21:01] <oops> ActionParsnip, what if I don't know what menus exist in Pidgin beforehand?
[21:01] <oops> ActionParsnip, can HUD help me then?
[21:01] <ClientAlive> thx ActionParsnip
[21:02] <essomba84_> se
[21:02] <usberror> conradzz, yes
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> oops: it exists in all apps dude
[21:03] <conradzz> what kind of usb drive is it usberror?
[21:03] <usberror> conradzz, tried it with an SD card and sony USB drive, both same error
[21:04] <oops> ActionParsnip, no I mean, how do I access the "Tools" menu of Pidgin without moving the mouse pointer to the top left corner if I don't know "Tools" menu is there in Pidgin.
[21:06] <conradzz> are you completely formatting the drive right before you do it?
[21:06] <usberror> conradzz, yep
[21:06] <K-Rich> is there a way to get the floating scroll bars (on the right) into firefox as well?
[21:06] <flack-Z> oops i must sometime kill the pidgin becouse  the left corner with menu is something no wisible
[21:06] <cipher_nl> ActionParsnip: I may have isolated my Ivy Bridge GPU crash issue with Ubuntu bug 966399. The bug says this is 'fixed in Mesa'. But looking with Synaptic i cant find any installed package mesa. There is mesa-utils, but it is not installed. How can i check whether I received the fix?
[21:06] <conradzz> you don't have another computer to try it on do you?
[21:07] <oops> flack-Z, oh. btw do you know any way to avoid going to the left corner every time?
[21:08] <renode> !up
[21:08] <flack-Z> oops no a dont know what i must use this st*pid function in left corner of all apps
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> cipher_nl: not sure dude, remember to add the fact that you are affected too
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> oops: the windows key brings up dash too, nice shortcut :)
[21:09] <oops> ActionParsnip, but how do open the "Buddy" menu of Pidgin using that?
[21:09] <flack-Z> oops at this time i reflect on kubuntu :D
[21:09] <oops> I mean my goal is to avoid going to the top left corner every time.
[21:09] <cipher_nl> ActionParsnip: but if it is fixed and i received all updates that are available; why does it still crash. :(    Either i did not receive the fix, or my issue is still different though similar. Probably will file a new bug report then.
[21:10] <ring1> is !nounity, actually for 11.10, still the correct trigger for 12.04?
[21:11] <usberror> conradzz, ill try
[21:11] <trism> ring1: yes, the instructions are the same
[21:12] <conradzz> sorry I can't be of more help, but its either the way its being formatted or its the computer
[21:12] <zowsz> lol
[21:12] <Guest2681> 8888
[21:12] <flack-Z> oops maybe this was be a god idea ? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/
[21:13] <usberror> conradzz, dosnt work there either
[21:13] <conradzz> then its gotta be the way your creating the drive
[21:13] <Guest2681> hello
[21:13] <Guest2681> ;
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> cipher_nl: could add taht you are affected by the bug and haven't got the update etc..
[21:14] <Guest2681> hey r u ..
[21:14] <usberror> conradzz, it shouldnt work on that pc though becauce its not a mac
[21:14] <Guest2681> hi yamama
[21:14] <conradzz> ah, I thought you were trying it on another mac
[21:15] <ring1> trism, thanks. do you know, if there is an expected end of life for gnome-panel?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> ring1: i'd ask in #gnome
[21:15] <K-Rich> there is always MATE as well
[21:15] <conradzz> but in reality I don't see why it wouldn't work, I'd try making the bootable drive on windows
[21:15] <conradzz> and then using it on the mac
[21:15] <usberror> +1 for mate
[21:16] <ring1> ActionParsnip, alright, will do so. but i guess throughout 12.04 gnome-panel in ubuntu will be maintained
[21:16] <K-Rich> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MATE
[21:16] <mongy> ring1, I'd personally use xfce these days.  I come from gnome2 wasteland.  jmho
[21:17] <usberror> conradzz, cant that PC is running arch linux
[21:17] <ring1> mongy, thanks for your opionion. i myself got used to gnome-shell and love it. just need something for a parents pc ;)
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> ring1: i'd imagine so
[21:19] <ring1> ActionParsnip, 5 years should be enough future planing for now
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> ring1: could always use a different DE if gnome-panel is dropped.
[21:21] <ring1> ActionParsnip, yes, indeed
[21:23] <Klackon> Can anyone help me with resolv.conf issues with server 12.04 LTS
[21:23] <Klackon>  ?
[21:23] <conradzz> so I installed ubuntu now and what do you know, it didn't install grub
[21:24] <Klackon> @ conradzz : Use your livecd.. boot into the system and use rescue option.
[21:24] <cyrex> I have a problem sharing with samba a folder outside of the /home folder. A quick resume of the problem is here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/131811/samba-sharing-from-an-ntfs-partition-or-outside-home-folder
[21:24] <usberror> Has anyone here sucsessfully installed ubuntu on a mac from a USB?
[21:24] <CarlFK> is there a yahoo client that supports video?  pidgin only does video on xmpp.
[21:25] <RealEyes> for some reason, transferring my files from my home folder into an external drive is taking forever
[21:25] <RealEyes> its only going 28k per second
[21:25] <RealEyes> thoughts on how to fix this?
[21:25] <DarwinSurvivor> CarlFK: Someone said kopete works with yahoo video. Also give empathy a try (if you prefer a GTK app)
[21:26] <CarlFK> RealEyes: my guess is usb1, or is the external disk or flashram/thumbdirve ?
[21:26] <usberror> CarlFK, try empathy
[21:26] <RealEyes> its actually an internal disk
[21:26] <RealEyes> Sata
[21:26] <CarlFK> thanks - empathy it is
[21:26] <DarwinSurvivor> RealEyes: so it's *not* an "external drive"?
[21:26] <Waraudon> Is there a way to automount USB drives in 12.04 without using usbmount? I'd prefer if the names in /media were the disk label, not "usb, usb0, usb1" etc...
[21:26] <DarwinSurvivor> CarlFK: did empathy work with yahoo video?
[21:27] <conradzz> klackon what do you mean by rescue mode?
[21:27] <CarlFK> DarwinSurvivor: give me at least 30 seconds to get it installed :)
[21:27] <DarwinSurvivor> conradzz: he's gone
[21:27] <DarwinSurvivor> CarlFK: lol, ok
[21:27] <RealEyes> yea, sorry
[21:27] <RealEyes> its an internal NTFS disk
[21:28] <stef1a> how can i access files through a terminal ssh but open them in my desktop/locally? (i.e., if i have music files on an external drive, how can i open them to be played on my local machine?)
[21:28] <stef1a> i've tried -X, -t, export DISPLAY=:0...
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: use a network share, samba is quick and easy to setup
[21:29] <stef1a> ActionParsnip: I've been advised to do this before; thanks, i'll look into it.
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: if you have SSH server running then you have an SFTP server that you can mount using nautilus
[21:29] <RealEyes> What happened was, the quibber bit torrent client was set to store temp downloads in the folder on my ubuntu SSD
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> stef1a: no need for extra services then :D
[21:29] <RealEyes> and then I turned that off while it was downloading
[21:29] <RealEyes> now I cant get the torrent to download
[21:29] <RealEyes> and my other storage disk is b0rked
[21:29] <RealEyes> just going super slow
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> RealEyes: use a tempfs then
[21:29] <RealEyes> tried rebooting already
[21:30] <RealEyes> i dont need them to be temp stored though
[21:31] <DarwinSurvivor> RealEyes: please run "dd if=/dev/zero of=~/temp_file.img" and tell me what the reported speed is (last number on the last line)
[21:31] <totesmuhgoats> stef1a: if you are trying to execute the command via ssh it will play on the remote machine, not on your desktop
[21:31] <conradzz> it installed grub on the usb drive instead of the hard drive I specified
[21:31] <DarwinSurvivor> RealEyes: it will probably take a minute or so to run (it creates an empty 2GB file)
[21:31] <totesmuhgoats> stef1a: you could do something like stream from the remote machine to the local one, or set up a network share with samba / nfs
[21:31] <totesmuhgoats> i think there is also something called sshfs, though i've never used that to know how it works
[21:32] <RealEyes> DarwinSurvivor, its hanging and my xchat is actingup now too
[21:32] <RealEyes> i might have effed this SSD
[21:33] <DarwinSurvivor> stef1a: for sshfs just run "mkdir temp_folder; sshfs machine_ip@machine_user:Music" (assuming you use ssh machine_ip@machine_user to connect via ssh)
[21:33] <DarwinSurvivor> stef1a: then you can simply browse to the "temp_folder" and see all the files
[21:33] <simplew> Im veryconfused here, i see that for 64bits and 32bits the lib packages have EXACTLY the same name, so how is possible to isntall a library for both arches???
[21:33] <DarwinSurvivor> simplew: why do you need libraries for both...?
[21:34] <simplew> DarwinSurvivor: i do, but what that has to do with what i asked?
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> simplew: in a 64bit OS you will also see /usr/lib32
[21:34] <RealEyes> DarwinSurvivor, I rtthink Im going to reinstall the OS, things are starting to freeze up
[21:34] <simplew> ActionParsnip: i have tried to install a package for both arches and revealed impossible, it refused to install
[21:35] <totesmuhgoats> DarwinSurvivor: is that all it takes?? that's effen cool
[21:35] <DarwinSurvivor> simplew: because 99% of the time someone asks a strange technical question, they're doing something outside of how ubuntu is supposed to be used
[21:35] <DarwinSurvivor> simplew: for instance when asking how to set the root password, we refer them to sudo instead
[21:35] <simplew> DarwinSurvivor: what that has to do with what i asked?
[21:36] <totesmuhgoats> why does ubuntu discourage users from setting the root password?
[21:36] <simplew> like things are done in ubuntu its impossible to install the same lib for both arches!!!
[21:36] <DarwinSurvivor> RealEyes: take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools to check the health of your ssd
[21:36] <simplew> and i never saw any like this, makes no sense!
[21:36] <narctix> ubuntu dont advise on setting root password as it would /dev/null any support agreement?
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> simplew: its not impossible, they go in different folders
[21:37] <simplew> ActionParsnip: how can it be psosible if the packages have the EXACT name
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> totesmuhgoats: think about the target audience of ubuntu
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> simplew: they are suffixed with :i386
[21:37] <DarwinSurvivor> narctix: ubuntu was designed so you would never need the root pasword since it tends to just get users into more trouble
[21:37] <totesmuhgoats> simplew: linux is unlike windows, since most things are compiled from source the entire system tends to be for the arch you are running. if you don't have a lib32 folder it means you have no 32-bit software installed
[21:37] <simplew> ActionParsnip: are no!
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> simplew: wanna bet?
[21:38] <narctix> DarwinSurvivor so would be against support because of that
[21:38] <simplew> ActionParsnip: show me please
[21:39] <DarwinSurvivor> narctix: not so much "against support" but against ubuntu's design decisions. it would be like asking a mechanic how to put put your tires on backwards, he'd tell you it's a bad idea and ask why you would watnt to
[21:39] <simplew> totesmuhgoats: where the heel did i speak about windowzzz?
[21:39] <SolarisBoy> *blowz
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> simplew: skype for 64bit is actually just 32bit skype, the OS is multiarch, so you will pull in a tonne of 32bit deps. Not the filenames here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/986220/
[21:39] <totesmuhgoats> so if this is the official ubuntu channel, does that simply mean that canonical recognizes the channel? or are there actually canonical employees here?
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> simplew: as I said, they are suffixed with :i386
 zowsz: well that's required for getting a cloak. please see /msg nickserv help register
[21:40] <simplew> ActionParsnip: lets refer to for example libkactivities6 package
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> simplew: so your petulant "22:38 < simplew> ActionParsnip: are no!" is flat WRONG
[21:40] <narctix> DarwinSurvivor I didnt meen setting root alone just what can be done with root against the Ubuntu base
[21:40] <zowsz> can someone help?
[21:40] <DarwinSurvivor> totesmuhgoats: I'm not sure who here are Canonical employees but it would not surprise me in the slightest if there were a few lurking around
[21:40] <wylde> totesmuhgoats: 99.9% volunteers in here.
[21:40] <simplew> ActionParsnip: excuse me that part
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> simplew: its cool
[21:40] <totesmuhgoats> DarwinSurvivor: yea i am not asking for names or anything, im just wondering in what way this channel is "official"
[21:40] <simplew> ActionParsnip: can you please show me the package for 64bits of libkactivites6?
[21:41] <DarwinSurvivor> zowsz: please ask your question, if someone is able to help answer it, they will.
[21:41] <narctix> the paid people dont have the passion to be here out of hours if at all
[21:41] <simplew> ActionParsnip: i dont know how to touch with apt, im used to handle with rpm and urpmi
[21:41] <zowsz> ok
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> simplew: similar system, different command :)
[21:41] <DarwinSurvivor> simplew: this is the official ubuntu IRC support channel. It's purpose is to help support users who do not pay for a support package (most home users).
[21:42] <zowsz> i need get a cloak to my host '-'
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> zowsz: why do you need a cloak?
[21:42] <simplew> ActionParsnip: but there we use to name 65 bits libraryes with prefix lib64 so all 64bit lib packages will be named starting with lib64
[21:42] <totesmuhgoats> ActionParsnip: he's thinking about becoming a magician
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> simplew: if you install a 32bit deb file, the apt system will pul in the 32bit deps for you
[21:42] <Oer> zowsz, join #freenode they can help you with a cloak
[21:42] <totesmuhgoats> simplew: you are making this way harder than it needs to be
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> simplew: the 64bit libe will go in /usr/lib
[21:42] <simplew> ActionParsnip: of course, but wasmt that whati asked
[21:43] <narctix> DarwinSurvivor Sorry for the mix up
[21:43] <zowsz> I do not know everyone I know is I also want a
[21:43] <simplew> ActionParsnip: can you show the packages for libkactivites6, both arches?
[21:43] <totesmuhgoats> simplew: what you asked is how they have the same name, but they don't
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> zowsz: can you rephrase, that wasn't english
[21:43] <DarwinSurvivor> simplew: the only time you should ever need to manually select a package from a different architecture is if you are trying to compile software from source. I've been using ubuntu since Gutsy and have *never* had to do it (and I *am* a software developer)
[21:43] <totesmuhgoats> the actual files are placed in lib and lib32, the packages have different names
[21:43] <zowsz> sure
[21:44] <simplew> DarwinSurvivor: e really noob for what i can see
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> !find activites
[21:44] <DarwinSurvivor> simplew: your last comment didn't make much sense (was it cut off?)
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> simplew: try:  packages.ubuntu.com
[21:44] <TemporaryName123> Help!! something is wrong with youtube video, the color are mess up like brown skin is blue color and black hair is orange color.  This is when I view it in flash when I watch in html5 version the color is fine.  I think this only happens in youtube because I've tried vimeo, veoh, dailymotion flash videos and the color is normal... I did sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer command so I have latest version
[21:44] <bennypr0fane> hello, I'm wondering how i can make sure my laptop's will do fine with 12.04. i found minimum hw
[21:45] <simplew> isnt there a tool to query packages names?
[21:45] <DarwinSurvivor> TemporaryName123: this is a known problem, I don't personally know the fix, so give me a minute to look it up
[21:45] <totesmuhgoats> TemporaryName123: i have experienced that, so have some other people i know. I think it has to do with the nvidia driver and vdpau
[21:45] <zowsz> I want a cloak for my host, where can I get?
[21:45] <bennypr0fane> hello, I'm wondering how i can make sure my laptop's will do fine with 12.04. i found minimum hw requirements but not recommended ones
[21:45] <LjL> zowsz: in #freenode
[21:45] <DarwinSurvivor> zowsz: please define "cloak"
[21:45] <simplew> zowsz: ask freenode guys
[21:45] <simplew> zowsz: enter in #freenode and ask one
[21:45] <DarwinSurvivor> zowsz: oh, you mean an IRC cloak!
[21:45] <bennypr0fane> I have pentium dual core 1,2GHz, 4GB ram
[21:45] <xangua> bennypr0fane: try a live cs/usb and test it
[21:45] <narctix> DarwinSurvivor So why does the community not advise on setting root?
[21:46] <simplew> DarwinSurvivor: you think your funny
[21:46] <wylde> narctix: because there's no reason the average user needs it.
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> TemporaryName123: run:   sudo mkdir /etc/adobe; echo "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg; echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" | sudo tee -a /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
[21:46] <Oer> narctix, no need to, first user created will have sudo priv
[21:46] <bennypr0fane> isn't a live cd going to be somewhat slower than ther actual install?
[21:46] <DarwinSurvivor> TemporaryName123: open youtube, right click the video and disable hardware acceleration. That *should* fix the color problem.
[21:46] <narctix> DarwinSurvivor So why not warn what they can do with it rather than denying it?
[21:46] <xangua> bennypr0fane: a usb then
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> narctix: its due to security, target audience of ubuntu and control of whom can run admin stuffs
[21:47] <DarwinSurvivor> simplew: no, I honestly am not sure what your comment meant
[21:47] <wylde> narctix: no one is denied it, it is highly "recommended" not to do it.
[21:47] <simplew> here http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libkactivities6  shows thats the same name for both arches, unbelievable
[21:47] <DarwinSurvivor> !root
[21:47] <RealEyes> DarwinSurvivor, I had to reboot because my machine was freezing up.
[21:48] <RealEyes> Im formatting some drives now.
[21:48] <narctix> lol I know what root is
[21:48] <narctix> Ive done LFS
[21:48] <simplew> DarwinSurvivor: a really noob dev for what i can see
[21:48] <zowsz> thanks
[21:48] <narctix> and admin linux boxes for years
[21:48] <Resistance> Joe42:  your support question would be better suited for here (in reference to you mentioning you broke something in #ubuntu-irc)
[21:48] <TemporaryName123> DarwinSurvivor, tyvm that fixes the problem
[21:48] <LjL> !noob | simplew
[21:48] <wylde> simplew: that's uncalled for. Kindly stop.
[21:48] <DarwinSurvivor> RealEyes: I highly recommend running the smartmontools utilities. They can be run while using the operating system without any problems and will tell you if any of your drives are experiencing problems.
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> narctix: its just a smart choice really
[21:48] <DarwinSurvivor> simplew: and why do you think that?
[21:49] <RealEyes> DarwinSurvivor, where do I get those?
[21:49] <Joe42> hi can somebody help me fix unity?
[21:49] <Resistance> !details | Joe42
[21:49] <simplew> ActionParsnip: you said that 32bit packages had different names but that doesnt seams to be true
[21:49] <narctix> actionparsnip its a good setup for a single user desktop yeah
[21:49] <DarwinSurvivor> TemporaryName123: no problem. Your videos will run a little slower, but since flash is closed-source only Adobe can *fix* the problem.
[21:49] <TemporaryName123> ActionParsnip what does that command do?
[21:49] <llliii> If I choose encrypted LVM option during installation. And later if I upgrade everything, will the decryption still work and can I boot properly ?
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> TemporaryName123: makes a folder then adds 2 lines to the file
[21:49] <DarwinSurvivor> RealEyes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> narctix: no, just for general security
[21:50] <RealEyes> thanks
[21:50] <simplew> i really cant understand this distro, i have even installed it...
[21:50] <TemporaryName123> ActionParsnip so that command fixes the color without disabling flash hardware acceleration?
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> narctix: you can have 4 users and have 2 in the admin group to run the admin tasks (like a household with 2 kids).
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> narctix: you don't want the kids running admin stuff so you can control them
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> TemporaryName123: try it, it's just a file, you can delete the file if it's no good. Think about it
[21:51] <simplew> ActionParsnip: im still wating for a comment from your part
[21:51] <DarwinSurvivor> TemporaryName123: go with ActionParsnip's fix
[21:51] <narctix> actionparsnip so just a case of reanabling root and fixing sudoers and remove the all permissions to admin it as multi user?
[21:51] <bennypr0fane> how are your experiences with rather low-end hardware? i read in a blog to be fast, Pangolin wants at least 1GB of ram. that doesn't worry me though but the cpu, it's barely above netbook level
[21:51] <SolarisBoy> yea - i have that fix in my conf now - it works
[21:52] <SolarisBoy> only thing is - its old - i wonder what made it pop back up
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> narctix: its not supported here
[21:52] <wylde> simplew:  do you have an actual support request?
[21:52] <Joe42> hi i have a problem with unity, im runing ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, the top and the left bars are gone, i did not tried to use the cube thingy but i was playin with ubuntu tweak, i uninstalled unity installed it back, uninstalled compiz and installed it back, and i also tried regular commands lie unity --reset
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> simplew: i can't even find the package, so i don't know how you can install it
[21:52] <simplew> wylde: yes, i was asking to install a library for both arches, but that seams impossible
[21:52] <conradzz> I probably shouldn't install proprietary drivers right?
[21:53] <xangua> bennypr0fane: there is xubuntu and lubuntu for low resoruces
[21:53] <cheryl_> Hi, my version of Ubuntu is no longer supported, it's 10.04...I d/loaded latest version 'n tried running it on a live cd, it did not work! I am unable to upgrade my hardware, has linux gone like those other ppl, demanding more hardware reserves??? :(
[21:53] <simplew> ActionParsnip: well its listed here in muon
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> narctix: you can make life simpler by running the OS as is, once you get it setup the only time you'll use your password is for updates
[21:53] <DarwinSurvivor> Joe42: can you log in as a second user and see if the problem persists? This will tell us if the problem is specific to your user account.
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> simplew: what is 'muon'?
[21:53] <narctix> actionparsnip
[21:53] <LjL> ActionParsnip: KDE's "Software Center"
[21:53] <RealEyes> DarwinSurvivor, funny thing, the two internal HDD's I have a reading/writing to eachother fine
[21:53] <akash> hello
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> LjL: i see
[21:53] <DarwinSurvivor> simplew: you were told twice how to do it. Use the :i386 suffix
[21:54] <narctix> actionparsnip Thats why I use ubuntu on my desktop its out of the box Linux
[21:54] <simplew> DarwinSurvivor: im not understanding
[21:54] <akash> can someone help me
[21:54] <wylde> !find libkactivites6
[21:54] <RealEyes> !ask skash
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> narctix: if you want to become root, just run:   sudo -i    and you will be running commands as root til you run: exit  and the root acount can stay disabled as it should be
[21:54] <RealEyes> !ask akash
[21:54] <opamp> Hi, I want to open torrent client and start downloading using command line. I tried to see transmission-cli man but couldnot find a way to do it. Any help/link will be appreciated :)
[21:54] <simplew> DarwinSurvivor: like this:  apt-get install libkactivities6-i386   ?
[21:54] <akash> kk well im doing linux from scratch
[21:54] <RealEyes> omg
