[13:21] <TonciJukic> Hi there. Is there anyone ho could help with 12.04 installation: latest release (27th april) just hangs on starting as live and installation. Mouse is crawling and icons are unclickable for 10-20 minutes. After that mouse is fine, but desktop is unusable including dialogs.
[13:21] <L3top> or MonkeyDusts answer was more complete
[13:21] <shaneo> MonkeyDust, the thing is i dont know if its all large files or a compilation of packages that buikd up space
[13:21] <loganrun> pgrade to 10.04 LTS option,
[13:21] <loganrun> has anyone tried the upgrade to LTS option
[13:21] <TonciJukic> Machine is: ASUS Rampage MBO, Intel i7-975 and nVidia GTX 580
[13:22] <shaneo> is .local/share/trash a trash bin ??
[13:22] <loganrun> don't want to thrash my machine
[13:22] <shaneo> cause thats the folder eating all my space
[13:22] <loganrun> I tried a distribution upgrade once for fedora, and that didn't work very well
[13:22] <llutz> MonkeyDust: why the heck would one create symlinks to all files found?
[13:23] <L3top> shaneo: sudo apt-get autoclean   will also remove all package files you do not have installed in /var/cache/apt/archives, and sudo apt-get clean will remove all source packages (as they are installed this will not affect the operation of the programs which came from them)
[13:23] <PATIL1234567> Hi, anybody used ZigBee USB devices on ubuntu
[13:23] <shaneo> L3top, thanks i know
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> llutz  correct, i did it for testing purposes, it's not really needed
[13:23] <megame> Hi boys :)) Anyone to help me plss? i want to use my linux (slackware 13.1) about router. i have a 2 Lan card. what file need to edin or config for this step.
[13:23] <shaneo> L3top, about the .local/share/Trash is it just a trash bin or a necessary folder ?
[13:23] <SunTsu> megame: this is noch #slackware
[13:24] <SunTsu> er "not"
[13:24] <chmod777> hello
[13:24] <near> llutz: ok , I will delete this line . http://paste.ubuntu.com/964645/
[13:24] <megame> SunTsu, yes but any one may be know for this...
[13:24] <amaroks> if I click on dash and type chrome or thundredbird or anything else it wont show any results... looks like is only searching in music folder, a version 12 bug?
[13:24] <near> I have just change vfat to ntfs
[13:24] <simonsays1980> My compiler is missing permissions. How can I give him the permissions?
[13:25] <smint^^> anyone good with IRC bouncers here?
[13:25] <SunTsu> megame: maybe at #ububtu.offtopic, though I doubt it. This ist Ubuntu support only
[13:25] <shaneo> smint^^, what you need
[13:25] <megame> oks sorry SunTsu
[13:25] <r4y> I am having hard drive troubles. Disk Utitlity says it passed. I did the 3 tests it had. It says it has no bad sectors but it says it is not clean. When I try to mount it it never mounts
[13:25] <smint^^> shaneo im using Windows, but I cant get ZNC for windows to work
[13:25] <smint^^> i cant connect to the bnc
[13:25] <smint^^> can you use teamviewer to help me?
[13:25] <shaneo> oh lol try #windows we dont do ms here
[13:25]  * L3top didn't catch that MonkeyDust was symlinking, though he was ls -l    lol I need to wake up a bit it seems
[13:25] <ikanobori> megame: It's almost always /etc/network/interfaces
[13:25] <smint^^> ok
[13:26] <ikanobori> Or similarly named.
[13:26] <megame> oks :)
[13:26] <Lasher> where is inxi?
[13:26] <shaneo> smint^^, pm me
[13:26] <r4y> My hard drive doesn't have init. I want to update grub but I can't seem to
[13:26] <simonsays1980> Typing mkdir -p /FolderName results for the compiler in a denied permission. How can I give it the permission?
[13:26] <TonciJukic> Hi there. Is there anyone who could help with 12.04 installation? Latest release (27th April) just hangs on starting as live or right-away installation. Mouse is crawling and icons are unclickable for 15-20 minutes. After that time mouse is fine, but desktop is unusable including dialogs and icons - can't use or install the system. Machine is: ASUS Rampage MBO, Intel i7-975 and nVidia GTX...
[13:26] <TonciJukic> ...580 including SSD or HDD, same problems.
[13:27] <misterbeen> hello everyone I am downloading 12.04 and can't seem to find a tutorial how to install os from usb stick,can someone link it to me?
[13:28] <MonkeyDust> misterbeen  boot from the usb stick and follow the instructions - what goes wrong?
[13:28] <amaroks> misterbeen:  on the same page you download ubuntu from has all the instructions you may need
[13:28] <TonciJukic> misterbeen http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[13:28] <L3top> simonsays1980: if I understand you correctly, sudo chmod 755 /FolderName
[13:28] <PATIL1234567> anybody used ZigBee USB devices on ubuntu? need application to send/recv data beetween
[13:28] <misterbeen> hvala tonci citam tpratim tvoje vijesti na bugu :D
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> PATIL1234567  what's zigbee?
[13:29] <Noxville> Its a wireless protocol
[13:29] <fidel_> PATIL1234567: i dont know those devices - but as long as they are mounted as everything else - consider using any sync-able sw you might know
[13:29] <TonciJukic> [LANG: hr-HR] Oh Misterbeen, hvala tebi :)
[13:29] <projektlabor> i neda
[13:30] <projektlabor> i ned a webdesign programm which do you think of these are the best: Screem, bluefish, peacock, quanta, NVU
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> !best| projektlabor
[13:30] <fidel_> nice trigger
[13:31] <Imre_> Hy everyone!
[13:32] <Imre_> I have a question about Wine. Is there a way to tell Wine, to install Windows programs to a different directory?
[13:32] <projektlabor> hallo
[13:32] <projektlabor> weis jemand wie zu deutschen chat geht
[13:32] <sledges> hello
[13:32] <DJones> !de | projektlabor
[13:33] <Imre_> I have an SSD and want to install Kubuntu on it, but I also have a 320GB HDD. I would like to tell Wine to install all the apps there. Could that work?
[13:33] <TonciJukic> Seems that i7 and nVidia are not usable for Ubuntu 12.04 - even install fails: http://askubuntu.com/questions/128772/ubuntu-12-04-x64-installer-freezes-hangs
[13:33] <sledges> is there a command-free way to install Java browser plug-in for firefox/chrome? and not icedtea, but the real java one
[13:33] <ericus> Oh my. I tweeted about WEP/WPA/WPA2 security and wordlist attacks
[13:34] <r4y> What is the root partition, extended? or swap?
[13:34] <r4y> I want to use this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7903302&postcount=11 help
[13:34] <ericus> Next thing I know ESET Security is following me and says "we're on to you man"
[13:34] <ikonia> ericus: not really something this channel wants to hear about
[13:34] <ikonia> ericus: this channels for ubuntu technical support discussion
[13:34] <ericus> okay, sorry ikonia
[13:35] <ikonia> ericus: not a problem
[13:35] <sledges> r4y, you can see partition types through `fdisk /dev/sda -l`
[13:35] <ericus> Thought I was in the offtopic-channel, my bad
[13:35] <r4y> It says Cannot open /dev/sda
[13:35] <sledges> sudo
[13:36] <trOmAtism> meowww
[13:36] <L3top> TonciJukic: There are plenty of folks running i7 and nvidia.
[13:36] <jatt> is there a way to have execution permissions set automatically for .sh files?
[13:36] <gaelfx> Imre_: it's quite simple, just partition the SSD as / and the HDD as /home
[13:36] <gaelfx> Imre_: sorry for saying it like that, what I mean is that it's a very common way to partition drives such as that
[13:36] <gaelfx> Imre_: it might also be a good idea to make a partition on the HDD for /tmp as well, to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on the SSD
[13:36] <r4y> http://paste.ubuntu.com/964663/
[13:37] <jatt> I don't want to make chmod u+x everytime I create a new .sh file
[13:37] <TonciJukic> L3top: would you please comment on my problem (will type now)?
[13:37] <sledges> r4y, what is the question? you have your answer in the paste bin :)
[13:37] <TonciJukic> Hi there. Is there anyone who could help with 12.04 installation? Latest release (27th April) just hangs on starting as live or right-away installation. Mouse is crawling and icons are unclickable for 15-20 minutes. After that time mouse is fine, but desktop is unusable including dialogs and icons - can't use or install the system. Machine is: ASUS Rampage MBO, Intel i7-975 and nVidia GTX...
[13:37] <TonciJukic> ...580 including SSD or HDD, same problems.
[13:37] <sledges> Linux, extended, swap :D r4y
[13:37] <TonciJukic> @L3top test
[13:38] <L3top> TonciJukic: What are you installing from? USB or CD? Have you checked the md5 sum of the image?
[13:38] <TonciJukic> USB. Yes, image seems fine and untouched.
[13:38] <wombatism1> I'm not a computer programmer and I'm confused on how to get my wired connection to work for ubuntu 12.04
[13:38] <r4y> "/dev/sda5 or /dev/sda2"  to use the advise from this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7903302&postcount=11
[13:38] <phzbox_> Hello! Is there a way to install python2.7 with apt-get? Seems like there's only 2.6 and 3
[13:39] <L3top> TonciJukic: I would also look through the bios and disable anything not required, like cool n quiet... etc
[13:39] <TonciJukic> I've tried resetting BIOS to defaults and turning OFF all onboard devices.
[13:40] <fidel_> TonciJukic: have you played with boot-paramters?
[13:40] <fidel_> i.e. i wasnt able to install 11.10 on my dell until i started playing with acpi=
[13:40] <r4y> sledges which do you mean?
[13:40] <TonciJukic> No @fidel, which you suggest? I presume it has something to do either with USB hub drivers or gfx drivers.
[13:40] <fidel_> in case of my dell mobile: acpi=noirq was a saver
[13:41] <auronandace> phzbox_: i take it you are using 10.04
[13:41] <sledges> r4y, you need to identify your root partition (guy from link has it as his sda7 "Using sda7 in my examples since that is the root partition of my Ubuntu installation." but yours will be different)
[13:41] <fidel_> maybe worth a test - while i am not into that toic myself that deeply
[13:41] <phzbox_> auronandace: right
[13:41] <sledges> so if it is not extended, and not swap, you can infer that it is the "Linux" partition as nothing else remains, r4y
[13:41] <gaelfx> !info python | phzbox_
[13:41] <auronandace> phzbox_: 2.7 isn't available in the 10.04 repos
[13:42] <phzbox_> so should I upgrade ubuntu to a newer version?
[13:42] <auronandace> phzbox_: if you need 2.7 yes, or you could install it manually (not supported or recommended)
[13:42] <r4y> so are you saying "/dev/sda1"?, How do I know? I am sorry about this, TY for trying to help me.
[13:43] <L3top> phzbox_: If I were you, I would wait until there is a point release.
[13:43] <phzbox_> Ok. It's on a vps.. I guess I should have 11.0
[13:43] <sledges> r4y, yes, just trying to teach you, not just tell you :)
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> r4y  type sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit -- paste the url here, so the channel can see
[13:43] <gaelfx> phzbox_: that might be overkill, why not download it yourself and install it that way?
[13:43] <teabrick> is there a way to upgrade to the newest ubuntu without using unity ?
[13:44] <jrib> !nounity | teabrick
[13:44] <phzbox_> gaelfx: well, there's nothing yet on the vps
[13:44] <fidel_> teabrick: unity is just a desktop-env
[13:44] <Guest68191> hello, everybody
[13:44] <phzbox_> should I just apt-get upgrade or reinstall 11.0 from scratch is better?
[13:44] <teabrick> jeez I feel like I upset ubottu
[13:44] <fidel_> so you'll get it while upgrading - but you arent forced to use it for sure.
[13:44] <chiliblue> how is upgrading working out for people? thinking about it but have always fresh installed in the past. NOt much of a risk taker
[13:44] <zamba> native sip client that actually works in ubuntu?
[13:44] <zamba> suggestions?
[13:45] <fidel_> teabrick: its a bot ;)
[13:45] <zamba> i'm tired of something that doesn't integrate properly
[13:45] <MonkeyDust> teabrick  ubottu is a (ro)bot, a script, she cannot be upset
[13:45] <r4y> How do enable universe?
[13:45] <teabrick> oh okay
[13:45] <L3top> asterisk zamba.
[13:45] <zamba> L3top: that's not a sip client
[13:45] <phzbox_> bha, I'll just reinstall it, it'll take 10mins
[13:45] <Pici> zamba: ekiga?
[13:45] <phzbox_> thanks!
[13:45] <teabrick> can anyone tell me why I shouldn't use debian compared to ubuntu ?
[13:45] <zamba> that's a telephony client with sip channel support
[13:45] <fidel_> chiliblue: do a backup - and most likely you will end up without big problems
[13:45] <zamba> Pici: is that native/integrated?
[13:46] <MonkeyDust> teabrick  not here, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:46] <chiliblue> fidel my /home is aways on its own partition in anycase
[13:46] <Pici> zamba: It used to be the default sip client, before empathy came along.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga for more info.
[13:46] <zamba> so empathy can do sip?
[13:47] <fidel_> chiliblue: i dont care about your setup to be honest - this question is just re-occuring all 10 minutes and the answer is as always: we cant garanty that the update will work your your or any other special case without issues ;)
[13:47] <Pici> zamba: supposedly.  I have other issues with the way Empathy does things, so I'm not really the right person to ask.
[13:47] <r4y> does it mean root with the star "/dev/sda1   *"
[13:47] <fidel_> but it seems it works pretty ok for most users ;)
[13:47] <polishguy94> My 12.04 stucks on login screen after I enter password and confirm it, there's a "logging in" caption which lasts forever
[13:47] <gaelfx> phzbox_: vps?
[13:47] <gaelfx> teabrick: ubottu is a bot, thus incapable of emotions such as "upset"
[13:47] <gaelfx> zamba: what have you tried?
[13:47] <gaelfx> teabrick: that's not what this channel is for, sorry
[13:48] <chiliblue> fidel_, ok, didn't mean to ask an worn out question
[13:48] <sledges> r4y, your root partition is identified as a file node under /dev, so it's full path and name is "/dev/sda1"
[13:48] <polishguy94> I can hit Esc and It interrupts logging in but then i cannot enter a password, login screen is useless
[13:49] <sledges> r4y, start denotes an active partition. which 9 out of 10 cases is, but sometimes may not be your root partition
[13:49] <r4y> I know that. What I ment was from the pastebin I posted earlier. It has a star next to "/dev/sda1   *" and not the others
[13:49] <sledges> r4y, just answered, and made a typo: not "start" but "star" ;)
[13:50] <jhelbling> äh kann jemand deutsch?
[13:50] <r4y> I should say I have 1 hard drive connect which I think is an ext4 I believe
[13:50] <Pici> !de | jhelbling
[13:50] <gaelfx> polishguy94: well, clearly the world hasn't ended, so it's not "forever" ;) have you tried logging in through terminal? (ctl+alt+f2)
[13:50] <testi> Every time there's a new release of Ubuntu, Compiz appears slower to me on nvidia hardware. It now even uses 40% of the CPU when moving windows, when it should not even use 1%, because the CPU side is entirely trivial for this task.
[13:50] <gaelfx> that's weird, I don't think I've ever had lag before using irssi? is it just me?
[13:50] <jhelbling> ok
[13:50] <r4y> IC
[13:50] <sledges> r4y, that's irrelevant now
[13:50] <zamba> looks like it's working
[13:50] <gaelfx> testi: are you using nvidia drivers?
[13:50] <testi> gaelfx, yes
[13:51] <dholbach> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek is happening right now in #ubuntu-classroom
[13:51] <polishguy94> :gaelfx: nope
[13:51] <polishguy94> i'll give it a shot
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> gaelfx  i use irssi and sometimes *do* have lag, seconds, not minutes
[13:52] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: I was getting lag 120, now it's more reasonable
[13:52] <zamba> too bad it sucks
[13:52] <r4y> I am waiting to enable universe through software sources so I can install pastebinit
[13:52] <cypher-neo> Just a quick question. What is the Terminal command that you can type to report problems to Launchpad?
[13:52] <fidel_> cypher-neo: ubuntu-bug
[13:52] <fidel_> might be part of the apport package
[13:52] <cypher-neo> fidel_, Thanks. :)
[13:53] <testi> gaelfx, it seems a bit weird. I almost have the impression that compiz uses nvidias hardware accelaration so badly that the CPU becomes the better GPU than the GPU. (Because Unity2D is working flawlessly fast)
[13:54] <misterbeen> um I have 4 GB usb disk,and on step 4 "set persistent file size for storing changes "how much should should I choose ?
[13:55] <sledges> r4y, what do you mean by waiting?
[13:55] <cypher-neo> fidel_, Is there an easy way to figure out the PID number of a program?
[13:56] <r4y> I am now installing pastebinit
[13:56] <fidel_> cypher-neo: ps?
[13:56] <alankila> cypher-neo: pidof name?
[13:56] <cypher-neo> fidel_, In my case, I'm trying to report a bug with Appearance preferences, but I can't figure out it's PID.
[13:57] <SmasherX> Trying to recover from power out in upgrade from OO to PP can't attach other hdd's and Disk Utility comes up with no disks
[13:57] <gaelfx> testi: check this out, second reply down: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67680/why-does-compiz-use-25-cpu-while-idle
[13:57] <gaelfx> misterbeen: I usually set it to none, since it takes forever if you ask it to make the USB persistent, but it depends on how you plan to use the USB
[13:57] <r4y> I need to leave my computer for a little, I will be back in minutes
[13:57] <polishguy94> There's something wrong with LightDM
[13:57] <gaelfx> r4y: that's probably the smartest thing you'll do today ;)
[13:57] <gaelfx> r4y: about pastebinit, not leaving :P
[13:58] <polishguy94> i used terminal login then gdm'ed and here I am, using linux
[13:58] <r4y> lol
[13:58] <misterbeen> ok thanx gaelfx
[13:58] <gaelfx> polishguy94: congrats :D
[13:58] <sledges> good
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> polishguy94  whatever works :)
[13:58] <fidel_> cypher-neo: i know there is a tool which enables you to click a window and it will tell you all relevant details - but i dont remember the name :/
[13:59] <polishguy94> Are there other reasonable DMs?
[13:59] <gaelfx> polishguy94: a lot of people like xubuntu-desktop
[13:59] <fidel_> cypher-neo: but ubuntu-bug should NOT only work with pid - but also with package-name
[14:00] <fidel_> if that helps
[14:00] <polishguy94> gaelfx: Doesn't this one force me to use xfce?
[14:00] <auronandace> polishguy94: xfce is awesome
[14:01] <Mayazcherquoi> Oh yeah, guys, how can I stop Ubuntu from disconnecting my second VGA monitor when I close my laptop lid? :S
[14:01] <fidel_> cypher-neo: it might be xprop to get window-details - not really sure
[14:01] <gaelfx> polishguy94: it doesn't force you to use it, it allows you to use it. I thought you were asking about different DM's? (Desktop Managers)
[14:01] <Beelsebob> hey, where is the boot menu.lst file stored in 12.04?
[14:01] <alankila> Beelsebob: no such thing, grub2 now
[14:01] <polishguy94> gaelfx, I wrongly assumed there's a dependency
[14:01] <fidel_> Mayazcherquoi: configure the clamshell close energy -setting i guess
[14:02] <Beelsebob> alankila: how do I go about getting it to automatically boot to option 0 with grub2?
[14:02] <Mayazcherquoi> fidel_: Err, how? :S lol
[14:02] <auronandace> Beelsebob: menu.list is grub1, grub2 uses grub.cfg and config files in /etc/grub.d/
[14:02] <alankila> Beelsebob: no idea. /etc/default/grub might have something
[14:02] <gaelfx> polishguy94: you can have ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop installed on the same install without issues, just select which one you want when you login
[14:02] <alankila> you aren't supposed to edit the boot config file yourself anyway because it's generated from bunch of scripts
[14:02] <fidel_> Mayazcherquoi: guessing here -> system-settings -> energy
[14:02] <mcb_> Beelsebob: 12.04 use Grub2, and the is not a menu.lst in grub2. Look in /etc/default/grub.
[14:02] <Mayazcherquoi> fidel_: Oh, yeah, there's no such setting :(
[14:03] <fidel_> i assume your laptop is going to sleep if you close it -> sleep affects your 2nd screen aswell
[14:03] <Mayazcherquoi> fidel_: No, it isn't.
[14:03] <SultansElephant> hey, so the ubuntu live cd can't find my windows installation -- will i be do ok doing it manually?
[14:03] <fidel_> Mayazcherquoi: it isnt what?
[14:03] <Mayazcherquoi> fidel_: It doesn't go to sleep.
[14:03] <Mayazcherquoi> I've already checked all that :P
[14:03] <Oasa> any 1 here
[14:04] <Oasa> knows about configuring banshee's clutterflow plugin ?
[14:04] <fidel_> Mayazcherquoi: so tell us such things as part of your problem description ;)
[14:04] <fidel_> saves times on all sides
[14:04] <Lipu> Oasa: How can I help you/?
[14:04] <testi> gaelfx, okay thanks. So I'll just wait for the patch, even when it says it only halfs CPU usage. In my opinion it should reduce it to more or less nothing.
[14:04] <gaelfx> SultansElephant: do what manually?
[14:05] <Mayazcherquoi> fidel_: I don't know what else I can say? :S Ubuntu Linux simply disconnects the second monitor (connected via VGA) when I close my laptop lid. No, it does not suspend, it is set to "do nothing".
[14:05] <gaelfx> testi: no problem, sorry it wasn't more helpful
[14:05] <Oasa> Lipu: I am trying to get the clutterflow plugin working but i cant. I understand it require mant prequisites. I installed all except 2. Clutter and Clutter-sharp.
[14:05] <gaelfx> more immediately helpful anyhow
[14:05] <SultansElephant> gaelfx: im such a noob that usually to dual boot ubuntu i will use the live cd from a fresh install of windows and just choose side by side
[14:05] <Oasa> i am having trouble compiling them
[14:05] <SultansElephant> but its not an option ya
[14:06] <gaelfx> SultansElephant: well, if you do it manually, then you can make a separate partition for /home, which I think is very convenient
[14:06] <nishttal2> has anyone been able to install adobe air on 64bit 12.04?
[14:06] <wombatism1> http://askubuntu.com/questions/126743/internet-access-problem-in-12-04 I checked this and I'm not sure what /etc/network/interfaces should look like when I add info...as in I'm not sure what I'm adding exactly from /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original

[14:06] <gaelfx> nishttal2: you said the a-word...that's a no-no
[14:06] <wombatism1> This deals with getting my desktop wired connection to work
[14:06] <nishttal2> gaelfx, why?
[14:06] <wombatism1> 12.04
[14:07] <nishttal2> gaelfx, is there another way to play pandora?
[14:07] <gaelfx> nishttal2: just joking
[14:07] <amel> need help
[14:07] <gaelfx> amel: describe your problme
[14:07] <gaelfx> *problem
[14:07] <Oasa> amel, how may we help you
[14:08] <amel> cannot upgrade from 10.10 to 11,04 says authenticatin problem
[14:08] <amel> whenever i click upgrade in upgrade manager
[14:08] <auronandace> !eol | amel
[14:08] <Mayazcherquoi> Ahh wells, guess I'll have to try again tomorrow :-)
[14:08] <Mayazcherquoi> Thanks for your support, fidel_ :)
[14:08] <amel> it says authentication problem with network or server
[14:08] <veebull> anybody else having problems with windows randomly moving partways between desktops in 12.04?
[14:09] <Beelsebob> mcb_: interestingly, setting GRUB_TIMEOUT=2 still seems to display the menu permanently… am I hitting a bug here, or PEBKAC?
[14:09] <Oasa> amel thats what. It has reached the end of service. Check the second link that ubottu provided
[14:09] <Oasa> !eol | amel
[14:09] <veebull> had a few problems in 11.10, but its getting really annoying in 12.04
[14:09] <alankila> Oasa: did you regenerate the grub.cfg after modifications
[14:09] <Oasa> alankila: What is that?
[14:10] <alankila> Oasa: run update-grub after you change /etc/default/grub.
[14:10] <Oasa> I think I compiled clutter. But cant get clutter sharp
[14:10] <alankila> Oasa: actually I did not meant that to you. Sorry, confused something in my head.
[14:10] <alankila> > Beelsebob ;-)
[14:10] <Oasa> np
[14:10] <mcb_> Beelsebob:  Also look at  these options: #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and
[14:10] <mcb_> GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
[14:10] <Beelsebob> alankila: already run
[14:11] <alankila> Beelsebob: okay. Hmm.
[14:11] <Beelsebob> mcb_: isn't that meant to be how long it takes before showing the menu?
[14:11] <roland> hi. I updated to 12.04 and tftpd-hpa doesn not work anymore, when trying to get a file, I get "no such file" error
[14:11] <amel> hello people?
[14:11] <katspaugh> Hi! Could you recommend a PPA for Node.js releases?
[14:12] <amel> why does my terminal say no command deb found
[14:12] <amel> ?
[14:12] <mcb_>  Beelsebob: I am not sure, but mine is working with those settings and if TIMOUTOUT=10......
[14:12] <alankila> Beelsebob: you may have hit "recordfail" thing also. grub ignores the timeout you set if the recordfail thing evaluates to true
[14:12] <Oasa> !deb | amel
[14:12] <gaelfx> amel: deb is not a command, perhaps you want dpkg?
[14:12] <jpds> katspaugh: PPAs are unsupported, we never recommend them.
[14:12] <Oasa> Just double click the file. amel
[14:12] <amel> no like i just want to update my 10.4
[14:13] <gaelfx> amel: then you need to click on the second link in the message ubottu has sent to you
[14:13] <Oasa> amel: I suggest you do a clean install as you have reached EOL.
[14:13] <amel> clean install?
[14:13] <gaelfx> !eol > amel
[14:13] <katspaugh> jpds: I didn't realize it's the official channel. Thanks, I'll use the source then.
[14:13] <Beelsebob> mcb_: you know why this isn't working… GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu3 is being used… o.O
[14:13] <r4y> gaelfx, it hasn't stopped Unpacking python-configobj
[14:13] <Beelsebob> I wonder why...
[14:13] <Oasa> amel: Check this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[14:14] <gaelfx> r4y: what hasn't stopped unpacking?
[14:14] <cypher-neo> Thanks for the help fidel_ and alankila. I figured out both the package name and it's PID to send the error report.
[14:14] <jpds> katspaugh: There's a nodejs package in the archives though.
[14:14] <r4y> With installing pastebinit, it hasn't passed this line: "Unpacking python-configobj (from .../python-configobj_4.7.1-1_all.deb) ..."
[14:15] <CJKay> L3top: After a complete nightmare toying with recovery mode, drivers and the likes, I have *finally* managed to get ironhide working with my card
[14:15] <gaelfx> !info nodejs > katspaugh
[14:15] <wombatism1> so what do I do to get my desktop wired connection to work?  I attempted to do the suggestion here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/126743/internet-access-problem-in-12-04 but don't know if I did it right.  I'm assuming I didn't because it still isn't working.
[14:15] <CJKay> Although I now have a problem with LightDM refusing to log in as anyone that isn't... well... me
[14:15] <CJKay> Or, rather the other way round. Can't log in as myself. Only guet
[14:15] <amel> how do i upgrade grub?
[14:15] <CJKay> guest*
[14:16] <gaelfx> amel: the easiest way right now would be for you to do a fresh install of an Ubuntu release that is still supported
[14:16] <amel> how do i do that?
[14:16] <katspaugh> jpds, gaelfx, yeah, thanks. It's kinda old though.
[14:16] <KSHawkEye> Hello, I'm trying to get internet access on my debian machine but I can't seem to. ifconfig shows no eth0
[14:16] <amel> i downloaded the iso and then tried booting to it to my hardis kwhenevr i try that it says bootloader failed
[14:17] <gaelfx> amel: download an iso for 11.04, 11.10 or 12.04 and install it via CD or USB
[14:17] <amel> i did try it with my harddisk it says bootloader failed
[14:17] <r4y> Can I close the terminal that didn't finish installing pastebinit, and start over
[14:17] <Oasa> amel: What do you mean by booting into hardisk ?
[14:17] <amel> yes like using the disk creator manager
[14:18] <gaelfx> r4y: you said it was hanging on the unpacking?
[14:18] <nyuszika7h> amel: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[14:18] <wombatism1> to avoid repeating myself, it would be nice if someone could acknowledge that my query will be looked at when someone has the free time.
[14:18] <amel> havent tried this will do thanks
[14:18] <r4y> yes
[14:18] <nyuszika7h> Hmm n
[14:18] <gaelfx> nyuszika7h: he's using 10.10, which recently hit EOL
[14:18] <nyuszika7h> O
[14:18] <nyuszika7h> h
[14:18] <nyuszika7h> Oh*
[14:18] <gaelfx> r4y: then it should be ok
[14:18] <nishttal2> is there a way to add pandora to gmusicbrowser?
[14:19] <amel> it says 0 installed 0 upgarded
[14:19] <Oasa> amel: Just out the usb or cd and use that as the first boot device from the bios. Then chose Install. and everything should go well.
[14:19] <nyuszika7h> Then what the others said...
[14:19] <amel> how do i do that my first time
[14:19] <nyuszika7h> Wouldn't do-release-upgrade work?
[14:20] <nyuszika7h> Or whatever it was called
[14:20] <katspaugh> hey nyuszika7h!
[14:20] <nyuszika7h> Hi
[14:20] <gaelfx> nyuszika7h: fresh installs are usually safer
[14:20] <amel> 0asa can you guide ne through it
[14:20] <nyuszika7h> True
[14:21] <zamba> where's the systray in unity?
[14:21] <zamba> stuff's supposed to be closed to the systray, but i haven't got that.. stuff just disappears
[14:22] <tachyons> Hello
[14:23] <gaelfx> zamba: what's supposed to be closed to the systray?
[14:23] <thomaspr> Anyone still running Natty here ?
[14:23] <amel> can anybody helpp with me a clean install?
[14:23] <pavan> hello guys, using 12.04 64 bit
[14:24] <gaelfx> thomaspr: I believe amel is, but it seems he's not having such a good time of it
[14:24] <r4y> gaelfx forget pastebinit, I don't need it
[14:24] <zamba> gaelfx: sflphone
[14:24] <amel> no i am still on the 10 :/
[14:24] <amel> want to upgrade to natty
[14:24] <gaelfx> r4y: but it's sooooo great
[14:24] <pavan> is ~500 processor wakeups / second normal behavior
[14:24] <gaelfx> my bad
[14:25] <amel> need help with a clean install though my harddisk dsnt seem to do the job
[14:25] <tachyons> Am i slleping?
[14:25] <gaelfx> amel: is there any reason you want to update to 11.04 instead of 12.04?
[14:25] <amel> because i have the 11.04 iso :D
[14:26] <amel> and 12.04 i heard has a little issuses?
[14:26] <gaelfx> amel: have you checked the md5 of the iso you downloaded?
[14:26] <Beelsebob> mcb_: when I do a sudo reboot, it's successfully avoiding the grub menu… but not when I shut down instead… any ideas what it might be setting/not setting to get this to work?
[14:26] <nyuszika7h> LTS having "little issues"?
[14:26] <amel> no what is that
[14:26] <thomaspr> I heard itś available NEXT week ?
[14:26] <gaelfx> !md5 | amel
[14:27] <wombatism1> I know I'm having issues with 12.04....can't get my desktop internet to work right
[14:27] <thomaspr> My trouble comes with New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_12_0_BUILD1)
[14:28] <gaelfx> r4y: did you try making apt-get redownload the package you were having trouble with?
[14:28] <tachyons> Yup
[14:29] <thomaspr> Anyone else who can't update New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_12_0_BUILD1) ???
[14:29] <gaelfx> !anyone | thomaspr
[14:30] <thomaspr> Next question is naturally WHY ?
[14:30]  * gaelfx needs to give ubottu a rest
[14:30] <thomaspr> but next answers are often: I don't have any troeuble with it ;-)
[14:30] <OerHeks> thomaspr, from a PPA ? or standard repo ( it is available now)
[14:30] <gaelfx> thomaspr: well, if you told us about the error that you're having, that might help us figure out what's actually wrong
[14:31] <r4y> It's OK, I can just use the online pastebin through Google for now, but I made note of pastebinit for later use
[14:31] <thomaspr> I'm sorry, but the description I see up here is GERMAN language :-(
[14:31] <codeur> saluy
[14:31] <gaelfx> thomaspr: when you say "it doesn't work," we can't really help with that
[14:32] <thomaspr> I didn't say "It doesn't ..."
[14:32] <OerHeks> !details | thomaspr
[14:32] <gaelfx> r4y: there are other cli pastebin tools, but I can't remember any others names :/
[14:32] <thomaspr> In "Aktualisierungsverwaltung" I can't check this new version  :-(
[14:33] <thomaspr> I have a problem with New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_12_0_BUILD1)
[14:33]  * gaelfx facepalms
[14:33] <thomaspr> I'm running 11.04
[14:34] <ikonia> thomaspr: then contact upstream
[14:34] <thomaspr> What's Aktualisierungsverwaltung called in the english versions ?
[14:34] <wombatism1> I have a problem with getting my desktop to connect to the internet, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 When I try to add the information as suggested in the answer to http://askubuntu.com/questions/126743/internet-access-problem-in-12-04 it does not solve my issue.
[14:34] <nyuszika7h> gaelfx, r4y: wgetpaste
[14:34] <gaelfx> nyuszika7h: nice, thanks :D
[14:34] <amel> need help with clean install
[14:34] <nyuszika7h> You're welcome :)
[14:34] <nyuszika7h> It uses LodgeIt
[14:35] <wombatism1> Here is the solution as offered on the link: I solved the problem by inserting entries for dns-nameserver, dns-domain and dns-search into /etc/network/interfaces. I obtained the values required from /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original.
[14:35] <gaelfx> amel: did you check the md5?
[14:35] <amel> no i have no idea how to the site gave me some commands to run but when i do it says no command
[14:36] <wombatism1> when I c/p the info from /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original to etc/network/interfaces there is no change...I used sudo on gedit to make the changes
[14:36] <gaelfx> amel: ok, let's start over. Are you using a CD or a USB?
[14:36] <amel> hardisk ntfs formatted
[14:37] <thomaspr> New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_12_0_BUILD1) is not part of MAIN or UNIVERSE ???
[14:37] <ikonia> thomaspr: no
[14:37] <amel> i use the create disk manager but at the end it says bootloader failed downloaded the iso from the official site
[14:37] <gaelfx> amel: to do a fresh install, you need to either burn the iso tp a CD or use the USB startup disk creator to copy it to a USB
[14:38] <amel> i did use that it says bootloader failed at the end :(
[14:38] <wombatism1> Are my comments appearing here?  I don't seem to of generated a single response to my issue.
[14:38] <Dr_willis> id suggest downloiading the iso yourself using torrents
[14:38] <Dr_willis> wombatism1,  we see you.
[14:38] <thomaspr> ikonia: I unchecked all except MAIN and UNIVERSE to locate the error hmhmhmhm ???
[14:38] <ikonia> what ?
[14:38] <amel> i did download from the offical site
[14:38] <r4y> gaelfx I am sorry but I am talking to holstein on the Ubuntu-beginners channel because  asked  there when I came here. I have nothing against you. TY for trying to help me
[14:38] <ikonia> thomaspr: where did you install the firefox package form ?
[14:38] <Ethek> Whats the best way to backup a system and selected apps to auto update from the latest from ppas
[14:39] <gaelfx> r4y: no worries
[14:39] <Dr_willis> !clone
[14:39] <fteumer> Can someone help a Ubuntu noob out? I'm trying to install it alongside my windows 7, but when i boot from the disc, instead of getting "Install alongside Windows 7" i get "Install Inside Windows 7", any thoughts? I am trying 12.04 64-bit
[14:39] <Dr_willis> Ethek,  you want an exact cloned 'image' of your current install?
[14:39] <magic_al> hey all, i am trieing to install a programm from a cd under ubuntu 11. evertime the installer tells me he is not able
[14:39] <Dr_willis> fteumer,  you sure its booting the cd?  you are getting to the ubuntu desktop?
[14:40] <magic_al> to create the folder
[14:40] <Dr_willis> magic_al,  what program exactly?
[14:40] <gaelfx> amel: did you put the ISO on a CD or USB after you downloaded it?
[14:40] <thomaspr> ikonia: I never did anything handy - used the included in 11.04 from the beginning and let it make all updates via Aktualisierungsverwaltung god, what's the name of it in english ?
[14:40] <magic_al> matlab
[14:40] <amel> i put it in my hard disk yes
[14:40] <amel> gaelfx:
[14:40] <Dr_willis> magic_al,  try copying the installer to the hd perhaps?   could be its trying to install to some system dir and you need to run the installer as root also.
[14:41] <fteumer> yes, i have the option to install or try
[14:41] <fteumer> and i usually run try
[14:41] <kasii> need a help on this errorhttp://imagebin.org/210805
[14:41] <kasii> need a help on this error      http://imagebin.org/210805
[14:41] <fteumer> then make sure lal my hardware is working, then go to install
[14:41] <gaelfx> amel: putting it "in" your hard disk won't do anything, it's needs to be on a CD or USB, otherwise you would be installing it on the same media you're booting it from which causes problems
[14:41] <Dr_willis> fteumer,  you may want to see how your hard drive is partioned. If you allready have 4 primary partions - that can  cause issues.
[14:41] <kasii> need a help on this error      http://imagebin.org/210805
[14:42] <amel> gaelfix: i meant in a seprate harddisk
[14:42] <amel> gaelfx:
[14:42] <kasii> need a help on this error      http://imagebin.org/210805
[14:42] <momoboy> are there any Microsoft sql server management studio alternatives for linux?
[14:42] <fteumer> I do, does this mean i should manually make more partitions for Ubuntu using hte "Something else" option?
[14:42] <saxin> I get: "dpkg: error processing icaclient:i386 every time I try to install something. How can I remove the installation for this package?
[14:42] <nyuszika7h> !repeat | kasii
[14:42] <Dr_willis> fteumer, i always use 'somthing else' because i know how i want my hds partioned.
[14:42] <tachyonsos_> hi
[14:43] <gaelfx> amel: is this separate hard disk booting before the hard disk on which you want to install? also, you can't put the iso on an NTFS drive, I think it needs to be FAT formatted
[14:43] <Dr_willis> 'somthign else' - what a vague term to use in the installer.. ;)
[14:43] <resno> my current machine is being deprecated to being a server and no longer a desktop, should i reinstallt the os, or just remove the dekstop applications?
[14:43] <fteumer> Dr_willis, thank you for your help, I will look into this further
[14:43] <amel> gaelfx: yes i think thats the problem thanks alot :)
[14:43] <amel> its ntfs formatted
[14:43] <intore> hi, i need to mount a remote fs and i created this script but am not sure is correct. first of all, how do i have to do to have a script that runs at the boot?
[14:43] <tachyonsos_> Any indian ubuntu users? :)
[14:43] <bazhang> !in | tachyonsos_
[14:43] <gaelfx> amel: I hope it works out for you
[14:44] <amel> gaelfx: when i fat format it what should i do after that?
[14:44] <gaelfx> bazhang: that's the first one I've seen that was still in English
[14:44] <thomaspr> It's UPDATE-MANAGER telling me something like: Not all updates can be installed
[14:44] <rpage>  Hello all i am having issues setting up synergy to start before logging for Linuxmint 12
[14:44] <gaelfx> amel: use the USB startup disk creator on the drive. You should be able to format it using the startup disk creator
[14:45] <bazhang> gaelfx, there are a few like that
[14:45] <amel> gaelfx: Thanks alot :)
[14:45] <aethelrick> kasii, that error tells you that firefox is offering to give up running a script that is taking too long. The problem is not an Ubuntu one, please see the author of the script in question i.e. the website your on
[14:45] <rpage> i am unable to find any off the files mention on online docs
[14:45] <gaelfx> amel: no problem
[14:45] <magic_al> Dr_willis: it tries to install to /usr/bin/matlab... is that a system folder?
[14:45] <rpage> any one using synergy
[14:45] <gaelfx> !anyone > rpage
[14:45] <Dr_willis> magic_al,  anything not in the users home dir - is basically a system directory.. so yes.
[14:45] <saxin> I get: "dpkg: error processing icaclient:i386 every time I try to install something. How can I remove the installation for this package? Tried dpkg --configure -a but still happens
[14:45] <Shanth> hello every one
[14:46] <L30n0v> hi all
[14:46] <Ethek> Dr_willis,  Cloned image would work, but I was thinking more of an install from factory with a automatic download of preselected apps
[14:46] <anudaasa> start upgrade
[14:46] <kasii_> aethelrick, how can i know the author of the script
[14:46] <magic_al> Dr_willis: is there a standard directory for programms like the windows C:/Programms?
[14:46] <Dr_willis> rpage,  id say set it up on a per user basis. perhaps check askubuntu.com or the forums for otehrs that have done  your way. and we dont support mint here.
[14:46] <Dr_willis> magic_al,  check out the LSB guide I think
[14:46] <Dr_willis> !lsb
[14:46] <Ethek> just a way to backup or register which apps are on the system
[14:46] <Shanth> uh any one tell me a command line music player that shows timeline and visual effects
[14:47] <Pici> !fhs | magic_al
[14:47] <wombatism1> Well, it seems I should keep searching for an answer through bug reports Dr_willis do people read backlogs on this channel and give answers or is the traffic a problem for most to want to do this regularly?  Basically, should I ask again later or assume someone will eventually respond if they have an answer?
[14:47] <kasii_> aethelrick, how can i know the author of the script
[14:47] <gaelfx> Shanth: I know there's something in VLC that lets you watch movies in terminal, but I can't remember how to do it
[14:47] <Klej> Someone knows any free barcode online reader ????
[14:48] <kasii_> aethelrick, how can i know the author of the script
[14:48] <Shanth> gaelfx plz recollect it
[14:48] <gaelfx> Shanth: very trippy, especiall for movies like the Matrix :D
[14:48] <gaelfx> Shanth: hang on
[14:48] <Shanth> plzzzzzzzz
[14:48] <Dr_willis> wombatism1,  im not even clear on what your pproblem was.. i alwyas check askubuntu.com :)
[14:48] <Klej> Someone knows any free barcode online reader ????
[14:48] <Shanth> i'm waiting
[14:48] <nyuszika7h> Ethek: dpkg --get-selections
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Klej: how is that ubuntu related?
[14:48] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  ive seen mplayer have a 'asciiart' video out plugin.
[14:49] <kasii_> aethelrick, how can i know the author of the script
[14:49] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: yeah, it's probably the same thing VLC uses
[14:49] <Ethek> thanks nyuszika7h
[14:49] <nyuszika7h> You're welcome :)
[14:49] <Ethek> not familiar with dpkg but Ill look into it more
[14:49] <Shanth> syntax for vlc
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: Dr_willis http://oreilly.com/pub/h/4441
[14:49] <Ethek> Seems like it should be a feature of Ubuntu software centre and your UbuntuOne account
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> Shanth: what do you need?
[14:50] <Dr_willis> vlc --help   ;)
[14:50] <Dr_willis> bbl
[14:50] <Shanth> to play video in terminal
[14:51] <gaelfx> Shanth: http://www.tuaw.com/2007/05/20/terminal-tip-ascii-ify-your-videos/
[14:51] <Athanasius> how do I modify the list of directories on the left in the gnome file browser? (Like, there's Pictures, Videos, Movies, Downloads, etc etc and I want to add another)
[14:51] <wombatism1> Dr_willis: As do I, but what I did didn't resolve the issue.  Problem is getting 12.04 on desktops to recognize domain names (like for web browsing and software updates).  Because I don't have IP addresses to every site I want to visit, this makes my desktop completely worthless atm

[14:52] <AkumaStreak> Arg
[14:52] <gaelfx> Shanth: it's by far the coolest thing in the history of media player technology: ascii movies :D
[14:52] <buzz_> can anyone help me with a grub problem?
[14:52] <ikonia> AkumaStreak: who cares ? it's nothing to do with this channel
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> buzz_: ask and see
[14:52] <ale91varese> ciao a tutti
[14:52] <buzz_> i was trying to get rid of my windows partition
[14:53] <buzz_> i now have /dev/sdb2 (extended) and inside it i have /dev/sdb5 which is where ubuntu is
[14:53] <AkumaStreak> ikonia: Any chance to pounce, eh? You don't want to talk about Linux, don't reply.
[14:53] <buzz_> but grub won't install to /dev/sdb5
[14:53] <wombatism1> !12.04
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> misterbeen: run:  lsusb   and use the 8 character hex id to find guides
[14:53] <buzz_> i don't even know why i have sdb5 as a partition
[14:53] <ale91varese> qualcuno mi puo dare una mano?
[14:53] <Pici> !it | ale91varese
[14:53] <ThinkT510> AkumaStreak: this is for support only
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> buzz_: its the first logical partition in your extended partition
[14:54] <AkumaStreak> First time here. Didn't know. Thanks.
[14:54] <Pici> AkumaStreak: Try #ubuntu-offtopic for chat.
[14:54] <wawowe> anyone have any idea what could be taking up space in my encrypted home directory? i woke up today and it's suddenly full, 250gb of something came out of nowhere overnight
[14:54] <AkumaStreak> Pici: thx
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: try clearing your browser cache
[14:55] <buzz_> how can i get grub to work?
[14:55] <buzz_> i really don't want to reformat
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: how big is your dropbox cache?
[14:55] <SunTsu> wawowe: du -sh * | grep G
[14:56] <wawowe> not sure where dropbox cache is
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: do you use dropbox?
[14:56] <wawowe> no
[14:56] <roger_padactor> i installed ubuntu on a compaq presatio but the wire internet doesn't work. in network setting everything looks ok.  Anyone know of any issues?
[14:56] <wawowe> not unless kde is using it
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: makes that easier :), try SunTsu's command :)
[14:57] <Fyodorovna> buzz_, have you checked if the HD is being read differently due to a cd or usb boot?
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[14:57] <wawowe> 3.9G    Videos
[14:57] <wawowe> is the only output
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: try without the grep
[14:57] <SunTsu> wawowe: then do the same with da dot in front of the asterisk: .*
[14:58] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip: Nope
[14:58] <wawowe> the .* showed it :)
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: ok, run:  sudo lshw -C network     what is the product line for the interface?
[14:58] <wawowe> .xsession-errors is 263G
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: yikes
[14:59] <gaelfx> whoa...call Guinness?
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: try:  rm ~/.xsession-errors
[14:59] <gaelfx> wawowe: you might wanna take a step back before pressing enter
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> Mine's 12k here
[15:00] <wawowe> bunch of kmix errors at the end
[15:00] <wawowe> did tail .xsession-errors
[15:00] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip: it says PCI (sysfs) that is it
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: give it time, your pci bus is slow
[15:01] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip: it said something really fast then went back to the command line. but what it did didn't show anything
[15:01] <anudaasa> what is best free linux game ?
[15:01] <kasii> aethelrick, how can i know the author of the script
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> anudaasa: there is no best game on any OS
[15:02] <wawowe> millions of kde related errors
[15:02] <MonkeyDust> anudaasa  whatever you like most
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: did you use a capitalized C?
[15:02] <roger_padactor> yes
[15:02] <anudaasa> ok, dosbox :-)
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: try:  lspci     see if it tells you there
[15:03] <aethelrick> kasii, figure out which web site is causing you the problem.
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> anudaasa: dosbox isn't a game
[15:03] <nexium> Anyone know how to troubleshoot things like slow logout times ?
[15:03] <gaelfx> anudaasa: I enjoy Planeshift every now and then
[15:03] <kasii> aethelrick, i was using firefox
[15:03] <kasii> aethelrick, mozilla firefox
[15:03] <Kucuq> Hi. I tried to install flrx via jockey. It didn't work and i have no clue why. http://paste.ubuntu.com/964818/
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> anudaasa: urbanterror is pretty sweet if you like counterstrike, or the penumbra series (not free, the demo is, very worth the cash)
[15:04] <c[_]> http://i.imgur.com/x0dai.png < anyone know how to solve that problem with Compiz Grid so there isnt a space between the windows?
[15:05] <kasii> aethelrick, mozilla firefox
[15:05] <MonkeyDust> anudaasa  http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html
[15:05] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip: lots of Nvidia stuff
[15:06] <gaelfx> Kucuq: I see a few hundred lines of nothing
[15:08] <thomaspr> UPDATE-MANAGER doen't let me check -->[]Version 12.0+build1-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> (FIREFOX_12_0_BUILD1)
[15:08] <wawowe> i removed .xsession-errors with rm but the space hasn't become available yet
[15:09] <wawowe> guess something is using the file
[15:09] <Kucuq> gaelfx: I can't see errors aswell, but jocky says the installtion failed, and that no driver is installed
[15:09] <jsebean> Hey all, my Ubuntu 12.04 notifications (like when I connect to wifi) has turned white instead of the default, how do I fix this?
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: could run:  lsof | grep xsession
[15:09] <L3top> Ethek: check out remastersys
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> c[_]: i'd ask in #compiz
[15:10] <Ethek> L3top, Ill do that
[15:10] <wawowe> lots of kde stuff
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> thomaspr: if you run;  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade       are some packages marked as held back. This does happen
[15:10] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip: i think i got it.  MCP61 Ethernet ?
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: try:  sudo lshw -C network      it should show the device
[15:11] <thomaspr> ActionParsnip: I'd rather stay with Natty :-)
[15:11] <thomaspr> No upgrade
[15:11] <ibrokeit> Hey guys/gals I need some quick help, I can't log in to unity, I just get a black screen, like xnomad without any configurations
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: are there lights flashing around the interface you have the wire in. Is the indicator light on the device you are connecting to showing as connected?
[15:11] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip: like i said it runs through them but it does't output anything to the screen that stays
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> thomaspr: you will stay with natty
[15:11] <roger_padactor> ActionParsnip:  yes
[15:11] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset| ibrokeit
[15:11] <thomaspr> even with upgrade ?
[15:12] <roger_padactor> in the setting i even have the correct ip and gateway and everything
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> thomaspr: yes, upgrade just upgrades the packages from the repos you have, changing release is a bit more involved
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> roger_padactor: do you not use DHCP?
[15:13] <roger_padactor> yes.  The ethernet is coming from a switch with is connected to the comp I'm talking to you right now on.
[15:13] <wawowe> did this: touch .xsession-errors && chmod 444 .xsession-errors
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: better?
[15:13] <ibrokeit> tried nomodeset to no avail
[15:13] <wawowe> should be after i kill all those processes :)
[15:14] <jorn> heyho, i'm getting 406 errors on the german mirrors for the precise/universe amd64 Packages when i try to run update in aptitude
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> wawowe: could reboot to root recovery mode if it's not playing :)
[15:14] <jorn> am i the only one with that problem or should i change the mirrors?
[15:14] <wawowe> haha
[15:14] <ibrokeit> it was working fine, untill i guess flash crashed and cpu shut down
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> jorn: can you pastebin the output of:  sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a
[15:16] <thomaspr> Die folgenden Pakete sind zurückgehalten worden: HELD BACK -->
[15:16] <thomaspr>   firefox firefox-globalmenu
[15:16] <thomaspr> Something known about that ?
[15:16] <jorn> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/964848/
[15:17] <wombatism1> not that it necessarily matters, but the issue is now solved it seems, I just needed to restart after doing my changes.  http://askubuntu.com/questions/126743/internet-access-problem-in-12-04 the answer works after adding the detail info.
[15:17] <skomorokh> 12.04 blanked grub on me. seems like it undid my nomodeset? i know i just need to hit 'e' but to do it i need a textmode grub. holding shift doesn't work. is there some other key or do i need to boot from cd/usb?
[15:18] <thomaspr> on upgrade HELD BACK -->
[15:18] <thomaspr> firefox firefox-globalmenu
[15:18] <thomaspr> Who knows ?
[15:18] <thomaspr> Comes with natty & NO UNITY
[15:19] <jsebean> Hey all, my Ubuntu 12.04 notifications (like when I connect to wifi) has turned white instead of the default, how do I fix this?
[15:19] <skomorokh> so if i can't force grub to text... is it okay to run update-grub from an 11.10 livecd for a 12.04 system?
[15:20] <Kucuq> I don't want to spam, but i think my question got burried. I tried to install flrx via jockey. It failed with a error and i have no clue why. Here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/964818/
[15:20] <Kucuq> I can't see any errors, but somehow it didn't work
[15:20] <amosek> hi there .. have a problem with samsung clx-3185fw printer .. wsince upgrade to 12.04 it has a red stop sign and cant print at all.. scanners gone as well.. any help?
[15:22] <dale> hey peeps. running ubuntu 10.10, and want to resize a partition.. so I can use some of this drive as backups for other machines. what could I use to resize it?
[15:22] <Kaco> dale, gparted?
[15:22] <edwinkcw> dale: gparted
[15:22] <Kaco> :)
[15:22] <dale> thanx
[15:22] <jorn> ActionParsnip: any idea? or should i just select another mirror?
[15:23] <wawowe> Kucuq: i don't know about jockey, but try apt-get install fglrx
[15:24] <r4y> This might be the problem I am having, but I don't know, but this hard drive is ext4 so: http://superuser.com/questions/278864/cant-mount-hard-drive-ubuntu
[15:24] <dale> Installing gparted.. :)
[15:24] <Varsuchi> so has everyone upgraded to 12.04?
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> jorn: its not catastrophic
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> Varsuchi: ages ago :)
[15:25] <thomaspr> Here's Natty :-)
[15:25] <mbeierl_> Varsuchi, nope
[15:25] <edwinkcw> Varsuchi: not yet...still waiting 12.04.1
[15:25] <Varsuchi> Action - it seems to be much better. I stay away from test os's.
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> jorn: could try a different source I guess
[15:25] <thomaspr> But Natty has a problem with the ltest firefox, I see :-(
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> Varsuchi: 12.04 is released now, not a test OS now
[15:26] <Varsuchi> Yea i have it installed.
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> edwinkcw  that would be in july https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseSchedule
[15:27] <edwinkcw> MonkeyDust: good to hear that.
[15:27] <edwinkcw> I don't mind to wait two more months
[15:27] <dale> After i installed gparted, I don't see it in the application list?
[15:28] <gaelfx> dale: system->administration
[15:28] <compdoc> dale, you use unity? should show up in the search
[15:28] <gaelfx> compdoc: he's on 10.10
[15:28] <dale> no, on 10.10
[15:29] <Varsuchi> just type gparted from a command line
[15:29] <dale> thanx
[15:29] <dale> see if i can get this partition resized without screwing this up :P
[15:30] <gaelfx> dale: resizes are usually painless, unless you're resizing NTFS :S
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> 10.10 is EOL
[15:31] <dale> yea, yea. i keep getting a popup about it. i am still debating on upgrading
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> dale: i'd clean install Precise
[15:31] <Varsuchi> dale: Precise is awesome. I would never go back to 10.10
[15:31] <Varsuchi> dale: and I even like Unity
[15:32] <dale> I should. but I got too much crap I don't want to loose.
[15:32] <Varsuchi> dale: i upgraded an 11.10 server I had and it upgraded without a flaw.
[15:32] <Varsuchi> dale: laptop too.
[15:32] <gaelfx> dale: next time, make a separate /home partition
[15:32] <dale> my home server is on 12.04
[15:32] <dale> but my laptop is still 10.10
[15:32] <davey_> anybody tell me how to update my intel drivers in linux?
[15:33] <r4y> can gparted be used on an ext4 hard drive?
[15:33] <gaelfx> davey_: which intel drivers? most of those are updated with the kernel, so whenever you update that, you've probably got the latest
[15:33] <syddraf> Where is the config file that contains the order and other information for GRUB?
[15:33] <gaelfx> r4y: yes
[15:33] <Varsuchi> syddraf: grub.conf
[15:34] <Freeman012> ciao
[15:34] <Freeman012> !list
[15:34] <r4y> Can it be used to make grub work again?
[15:34] <Sidewinder> Tiresome.
[15:34] <Resistance> r4y, gparted isnt grub.
[15:34] <Simkin> what's wrong with grub r4y?
[15:34] <syddraf> Varsuchi: there is no "grub.conf" file on my computer.
[15:34] <Freeman012> sorry
[15:34] <r4y> No init
[15:34] <Resistance> r4y, depending on the issue you're having with Grub, you may need to reinstall grub via a livecd
[15:35] <alesan> hi! how can I install the new gimp 2.8?
[15:35] <r4y> How?, I can't mount this hard drive
[15:35] <ThinkT510> Varsuchi: its grub.cfg and shouldn't be edited directly
[15:35] <gaelfx> syddraf: I think it's /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[15:35] <MonkeyDust> alesan  software center or sudo apt-get install gimp
[15:35] <gaelfx> syddraf: could be wrong though
[15:35] <KM0201> MonkeyDust: i don't think thats gimp 2.8
[15:35] <KM0201> !info gimp
[15:35] <alesan> MonkeyDust, there is only 2.6 there
[15:35] <eutheria> when i upgraded to 12.04 the ppa's i had became disabled, when i added back in a number of packages didn't have a 12.04 version yet, so how can i find the packages that are installed that are no longer available ?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> alesan: there is a ppa
[15:36] <gaelfx> syddraf: definitely wrong, sorry
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> alesan: http://www.multimediaboom.com/install-gimp-2-8-ubuntu-12-04-ppa/
[15:36] <alesan> ActionParsnip, where? Also, PPAs are awful, they come and go, stay unsupported for months, etc etc
[15:36] <alesan> I was hoping Ubuntu had an official version of 2.8 in their repository, mantained etc
[15:37] <eutheria> add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
[15:37]  * ThinkT510 wonders why some people can't live without ppas, don't they realise they are 3rd party unsupported packages (then they wonder why things break)
[15:37] <KM0201> is 2.8 stable, or is it still beta?  that might explain why (or why not) 2.8 is not in 12.04
[15:38] <alesan> ThinkT510, I said, I was hoping the new long-awaited GIMP would be available throught the official long-supported channel
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: i've used it here for basic stuff, seems ok. Not sure on the status
[15:38] <ThinkT510> KM0201: very recently released as stable
[15:38] <Pici> KM0201, alesan: 2.8 was an RC last I checked.
[15:38] <alesan> KM0201, AFAIK it has been released today
[15:38] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: same here.. i'm a fan of gimp(like you, basic stuff)..  2.6 is fine for me
[15:38] <Varsuchi> syydraf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[15:38] <linuxmonkey> We are happy to announce immediate availability of GIMP 2.8 — a new stable version of GNU Image Manipulation Program that culminates 3.5 years of exciting work.
[15:38] <alesan> http://www.gimp.org/
[15:38] <Varsuchi> syydraf: that should help
[15:38] <Varsuchi> they have changed it.
[15:38] <KM0201> alesan: well, that explains it.. they're not gonna put a beta in an LTS
[15:38] <alesan> KM0201, 2.8 will finally have one window mode
[15:39] <skomorokh> ThinkT510: one or two flakey PPAs are easier to deal with than Arch, Gentoo or Debian unstable. It's a tradeoff.
[15:39] <alesan> not the insane 15 windows thing
[15:39] <KM0201> alesan: it's never really bothered me to be honest
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> alesan: there is a python script somewhere to make it into one window
[15:39] <syddraf> gaelfx: It has the menu entries, but also says in big angry letters not to edit the file.
[15:39] <ThinkT510> skomorokh: really? all i see is others with problems, arch runs smoothly for me
[15:39] <linuxmonkey> I takes a bit of time when a new release is launched for it to make it in the repo
[15:39] <r4y> What if I install Ubuntu next to Ubuntu on this hard drive?, I know I have the space on it. I really want to be able to back up the info on it.
[15:39] <Varsuchi> syddraf: /etc/default/grub
[15:40] <alesan> KM0201, "it has been released today" check www.gimp.org if you do not believe
[15:40] <Varsuchi> syddraf: edit it as you need then run update-grub after to generate a new configuration file
[15:40] <skomorokh> ThinkT510: well, like said, one or two. if you want a lot of the newest stuff you're totally right, arch is the way.
[15:40] <KM0201> alesan: and 12.04 2as released... a week ago.  unless you have a way of manipulating the space time continuum... you can't make the two match
[15:40] <syddraf> Varsuchi: There's nothing in that file that has anything to do with the menu entries, though
[15:41] <gaelfx> syddraf: yeah, I realized that after the fact, sorry
[15:41] <linuxmonkey> alesan, the source code was released today it can take a few weeks before an actual package is released
[15:41] <alesan> KM0201, apparently some random guy made a PPA for Gimp2.8, why wouldn't Canonical be able to do the same
[15:41]  * KM0201 sighs
[15:41] <Pici> !latest | alesan
[15:41] <KM0201> alesan: you just don't get it.
[15:41] <alesan> linuxmonkey, oh OK thanks! that makes sense
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: what do you want to achieve?
[15:42] <alesan> linuxmonkey, but do you think they will integrate it? Or I will have to wait for Ubuntu 12.10 ???
[15:42] <syddraf> ActionParsnip: I want to remove some entries and reorder the list.
[15:42] <eutheria> oh i like gimp 2.7
[15:42] <eutheria> err 8
[15:42] <Varsuchi> syddraf: that link i sent has instructions for adding different options...
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: if you run:  uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image    what is output? use a pastebin to host
[15:43] <thomaspr> @linuxmonkey:
[15:43] <thomaspr> What source code was released today ?
[15:43] <Varsuchi> syddraf: in the menu.. its kind of complicated. i think the kernet normally detects the installed os's upon rebuilding the grub config.
[15:43] <KM0201> thomaspr: gimp
[15:43] <Varsuchi> syddraf: but there is a process for adding manual items in that article.
[15:43] <syddraf> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/964897/
[15:44] <jsebean> Hey all, my Ubuntu 12.04 notifications (like when I connect to wifi) has turned white instead of the default, how do I fix this?
[15:44] <linuxmonkey> From what I gather it probably will be made available, usully is but it all depends on who on the ubuntu teams takes care of that package
[15:44] <syddraf> Varsuchi: I don't see an article link, can you please post it again?
[15:44] <gaelfx> good night, #ubuntu
[15:45] <Varsuchi> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[15:45] <L3top> jsebean: display/themes/
[15:45] <jsebean> L3top: ??
[15:45] <thomaspr> KM0201: Thought you were talking about PRECISE
[15:45] <KM0201> thomaspr: i am
[15:46] <jsebean> L3top: the notifications now have buttons like a close button and dont show this message again, id like to know how to get the normal notifications back
[15:46] <thomaspr> KM0201: Am I doing something wrong as I merely see: New release 'oneiric' available.
[15:46] <thomaspr> Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.0.*    will leave you with only the precise kernel
[15:47] <L3top> I misunderstood your question then jsebean. I thought you were saying it was black and is now white.
[15:47] <Simkin> https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18833 <-- anyone know how to fix this?
[15:47] <L3top> KM0201: are you on 1004?
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> thomaspr: that will need sudo :)
[15:47] <ThinkT510> thomaspr: you are on natty, so oneric is next
[15:47] <linuxmonkey> alesan: check out http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/gimp so you could ask when via launchpad but id suggest getting on their mailing list and being patient
[15:47] <KM0201> thomaspr: i think you took something i said that had nothing to do w/ what you're saying, and are somehow applying whatever it to mean.
[15:47] <Simkin> it says to edit the limits file in /etc/security but everything in there is commented out
[15:47] <KM0201> L3top: negative, 12.04
[15:47]  * L3top is clearly confused
[15:48] <L3top> lol
[15:48] <TonciJukic_AFK> Redownloaded ISO of 12.04, still hands on Live run or installation. Is there a  setting that can help? Some safe mode for install?
[15:48] <alesan> linuxmonkey, :(
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> TonciJukic_AFK: did you MD5 test the ISO?
[15:48] <ThinkT510> thomaspr: to upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 you need to go through 11.10
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> thomaspr  or fresh install
[15:49] <nibbler_> since my upgrade to 12.4 i cannot connect to my companies samba-share anymore :/ smb://192.168.x.x/foo pops up a request for username, domain and password, but sign in does not work :/
[15:50] <thomaspr> ThinkT510: Right, I forgot there's no jumping over releases in ubuntu ;-)
[15:50] <Varsuchi> nibbler_: you need to install the cifs package
[15:50] <KM0201> well, you can, but you're guaranteed to brick something.
[15:50] <KM0201> lol
[15:50] <TonciJukic> Are there known issues where installation or Live hangs making mouse almost non-responsive (insanely high latency) and Unity hanging?
[15:51] <KM0201> Varsuchi: he doesn't have to install samba, to connect to a samba share
[15:51] <brightsparks> I had 1 Gb  of Ram installed when ubuntu 11.10 was installed. The swap partition created then was 1Gb. I have now added another Gb of ram. Should I try and up the swap partition to 4Gb. And how easy is it to do that. Object been to improve performance as 11.10 seems to just eat memory.
[15:51] <ThinkT510> thomaspr: you can go directly from lts to lts though, thats the only official way to "jump" releases
[15:51] <nibbler_> Varsuchi, installing cifs-utils....
[15:51] <Varsuchi> KM0201 I didnt say samaba
[15:51] <Varsuchi> I said CIFS
[15:51] <KM0201> oh, nevermind.
[15:51] <Varsuchi> thats correct nibbler
[15:51] <Varsuchi> that should fix it
[15:51] <TonciJukic> ThinkT510 how is your battery time on 12.04 (if on it)?
[15:51] <KM0201> he still shouldn't need to install cifs though i wouldn't think
[15:52] <Varsuchi> you can install this too nibbler - alt..
[15:52] <Varsuchi> sudo apt-get install smbfs
[15:52] <KM0201> i never installed it on this laptop, and i access cifs shares jsut fine
[15:52] <intore> hi, how is the way to bring up the network interfaces at boot. i need that at login screen the pc will be connected. is possible?
[15:52] <TonciJukic> Does 12.04 support AHCI or it needs IDE?
[15:52] <intore> am using ubuntu 11.10
[15:52] <ThinkT510> TonciJukic: i'm always plugged into mains sorry
[15:53] <KM0201> intore: if i'm not mistaken(unless its wireless) it should be "online" when at the login screen.. thats why you can SSH a machine, even if its on the login screen
[15:53] <nibbler_> Varsuchi, same - it does not seem to accept my username/domain/password
[15:53] <Varsuchi> what is the command you are using again?
[15:53] <Guest85523> i have installed 12.04 via usb and now it is unable to boot from hard disk, it just show blank screen
[15:54] <KM0201> Guest85523: are you on the machine now?
[15:54] <intore> KM0201, ok, i'll check it. thanks
[15:54] <nibbler_> Guest85523, try to edit the kernel line in the bootloader, remove quiet and splash, add: noapic lapic=off noacpi
[15:54] <Guest85523> KM0201- no
[15:54] <TonciJukic> I think 12.04 had to test for a few more months. The only way to install for me will probably be 11.10 then upgrade (or 11.04)
[15:54] <Guest85523> right now i am using 11.10
[15:54] <KM0201> Guest85523: is it a dual boot, or is ubuntu the only OS?
[15:55] <Guest85523> only os
[15:55] <KM0201> Guest85523: ok, boot the machine, and tart hitting the Shift button, when grub comes up, highlight the first kernel (not hte recovery one) and hit 'e'  and then let us know.
[15:55] <Guest85523> nibbler- how to edit kernel?
[15:56] <Seryth> Hey guys. I'm using Obuntu (Openbox  + Ubuntu) 11.10, and I want to change something about the notification popups.  I need to be able to click it to make it dissapear. It's currently staying visible for 30 seconds, which is unbareable. Any ideas?
[15:56] <KM0201> Guest85523: thats what i'm talking you through, we need to remove the splash so you can see the error.
[15:56] <dem0n> hey everyone... i am on ubuntu 12 ARM on my android phone and i must say i love it! one question i have is, is there an adobe flash for firefox that i can use for ubuntu ARM or can i use the adobe flash 32 bit app for linux? or will adobe flash not work for linux on android phones?
[15:56] <nibbler_> Guest85523, press a button when you see the boot menu and press e
[15:56] <Guest85523> which button?
[15:56] <KM0201> shift... that should bring up grub
[15:56] <tensorpudding> right shift
[15:57] <KM0201> is it specifically right shift?
[15:57] <tensorpudding> it brings up the bootloader menu
[15:57] <tensorpudding> i think so
[15:57] <KM0201> hmm, i thought it was just "shift"
[15:57] <Guest85523> ok
[15:57] <KM0201> Guest85523: do you have the menu up?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: did it clean up ok?
[15:58] <Wavesonics> damn... mid upgrade from the last LTS to 12.04, MySQL is giving me an error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
[15:58] <Wavesonics>  │ '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
[15:58] <txdv> maybe the position of that sock changed
[15:59] <Guest85523> it just show the f1 and f9 key to press then nothing blank screen
[15:59] <KM0201> Guest85523: listen, reboot the machine, as soon as you see the f1/f9 screen, start hitting right shift
[15:59] <nibbler_> Wavesonics, that means your mysql is not running, or its socket is somewhere else (location is defined in /etc/mysql/my.cnf or /etc/my.cnf cant remember
[16:00] <syddraf> ActionParsnip: Yeah, it cleaned the old linux kernels, but doesnt let me reorder. It looks like I need to manually edit grub.cfg each time it gets updated. (which, thankful, isn't that often)
[16:00] <Guest85523> km0201 -- then
[16:00] <KM0201> Guest85523: do you have your grub menu up?
[16:00] <TheAncientGoat> Hi guys; I have a couple of problems with 12.04 on my 3-4 year old HP Pavillion tx2000.. When I boot without connection to power, I sometimes get a black screen that is inescapable unless I hit alt-sysreq u, (tty swapping doesn't work), and unity 3d doesn't work with the proprietary nvidia drivers (with a geforce go 6150 card)
[16:00] <Guest85523> KM0201- no
[16:00] <TheAncientGoat> Noveau works, but I get strange hangs at times then
[16:00] <Wavesonics> nibbler_, looks like mine is here: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[16:00] <KM0201> Guest85523: when the menu comes up, highlight the first kernel entry (not the recovery entry)... and hit e
[16:01] <Guest85523> and then
[16:01] <Wavesonics> which seems to be where its looking
[16:01] <nibbler_> Wavesonics, ps waxl|grep mysqld
[16:01] <KM0201> Guest85523: once you do that, you'll see a line that has "quiet splash" at the end... delete quite splash, then hit Cntrl + X to save and continue booting.. that will remove the splash screen... when the boot process stops, look at the error
[16:01] <TheAncientGoat> Also, booting in safe mode always works when disconnected from power, I suspect it is a gpu powersaving bug
[16:01] <Guest85523> ok
[16:02] <Wavesonics> nibbler_, http://pastebin.com/uX7bGayu
[16:02] <nibbler_> Wavesonics, did you try restarting mysql? does /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock exist?
[16:02] <aldo_> hi, can you help me?
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: no, you dont touch grub.cfg
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: how do you want to reorder, do you want windows to be the top by any remote chance?
[16:03] <Varsuchi> aldo: we will try
[16:03] <aldo_> tnks a lot!
[16:03] <aldo_> so, i have 5 pc
[16:03] <aldo_> with Ubuntu
[16:03] <Wavesonics> nibbler_, shit, wrong ssh window, 1 sec
[16:04] <aldo_> and i use 1 pc for Ubuntu Server 12.04
[16:04] <chrisgeorge> if I have remote access prompt disabled, can anyone think of why vnc from OS X would hang to ubuntu?
[16:05] <compdoc> chrisgeorge, which ubuntu?
[16:05] <chrisgeorge> compdoc: 12.04
[16:05] <syddraf> ActionParsnip: Indeed, Windows at the top would be nice.
[16:05] <aldo_> how can I do to connect this pc with ubuntu server?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: sudo mv 30_os-prober 08_os-prober; sudo update-grub
[16:05] <Wavesonics> nibbler_, ha yup, mysqld was offline for some insane reason, started it up and bam, its all good
[16:05] <Wavesonics> thanks a million man!!
[16:05] <compdoc> chrisgeorge, what is in your .vnc/xtartup?
[16:06] <nibbler_> Wavesonics, welcome ;-)
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: you edit the grub config files. You NEVER touch grub.cfg because when update-grub gets ran, it will remove any settings
[16:06] <chrisgeorge> compdoc: interesting, it doesn't look like ~/.vnc even exists
[16:06] <Wavesonics> nibbler_, that was scary, i did this at the most retarded time possible, and everying was offline for the upgrade... such fail on my part.
[16:07] <compdoc> chrisgeorge, run vncpasswd, then run vncserver to create those files
[16:07] <compdoc> then quit vncserver
[16:07] <syddraf> ActionParsnip: Is the number at the beginning of "os-prober" just an ordering number or does it have to be 08?
[16:07] <compdoc> chrisgeorge, .vnc is hidden, btw
[16:07] <chrisgeorge> interesting compdoc, looks like they weren't even installed even though I enabled remote access in ubuntu
[16:07] <chrisgeorge> compdoc: Yeah
[16:08] <chrisgeorge> And aptititude can't even find those files. Interesting
[16:08] <molgrum> hi, i couldn't google this because i don't know how to phrase it, but does anyone else have problems with windows shifting workplace to the current when you click on the task button in unity?
[16:08] <compdoc> chrisgeorge, theres two types of vnc - one is vino which allows desktop sharing and requires that someone be logged into the console. ANd the other is vncserver, which is always running
[16:08] <Varsuchi> aldo: what are you wanting to connect? file share? nfs? and what 12.04 on all machines?
[16:09] <chrisgeorge> ah
[16:09] <chrisgeorge> vino is installed
[16:09] <compdoc> yeah, vino comes with the desktop
[16:09] <chrisgeorge> looks like I need to get vncserver installed ;)
[16:09] <compdoc> chrisgeorge, I like vnc4server
[16:10] <chrisgeorge> I'll give that a go compdoc. I apprecate it
[16:10] <chrisgeorge> appreciate
[16:10] <aldo_> file share and use phpmyadmin in all pc
[16:10] <compdoc> good luck
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: its just greater than the rest so moves it to the bottom, windows will then be top. I just use what I know to work
[16:12] <aldo_> do you understand?
[16:12] <syddraf> ActionParsnip: Thanks again for all your help. You always seem to solve my problems.
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> syddraf: I try
[16:13] <modernbob> anyone running postfix on 12.04 care to donate their main.cf
[16:13] <aldo_> ubuntu is only in 1 pc. Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop is install in others pc
[16:14] <compdoc> modernbob, the postfix conf is too complex. I like nullmailer
[16:14] <llutz> modernbob: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix                   chose/set the options you need
[16:14] <reader_> hai guys , how to access host ( 11.10 ) apache sever from guest ( xp) .guest os is setup-ed as host-only and can able to ping to host .
[16:14] <zuckerberg> there is a problem in desktop sidebar with 12.04
[16:15] <zuckerberg> it remains hidden which i have set
[16:15] <zuckerberg> but
[16:16] <Seryth> Hey guys. I'm using Obuntu (Openbox  + Ubuntu) 11.10, and I want to change something about the notification popups.  I need to be able to click it to make it dissapear. It's currently staying visible for 30 seconds, which is unbareable. Any ideas?
[16:16] <llutz> modernbob: more info at http://www.postfix.org/docs.html and   http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html         just copying another main.cf makes no sense, since you don't know how the other postfix was configured and what it shall do
[16:16] <MrIronMan> Hello all, I am trying to setup Ubuntu on an old machine but it freezes when I choose: "Try Ubuntu" at the live CD window, can someone help me solve that issue?

[16:20] <Khmerog> just to let you know i have ADD..i cannot concentrate when im reading a long document :(
[16:20] <Resistance> Khmerog, you'll have to work through it, the documentation exists for a reason
[16:20] <MrIronMan> is there a way to pass commands to the kernel at boot time when installing Ubuntu?
[16:21] <MrIronMan> I wanna my grandparents to have it as well, hehe
[16:21] <Khmerog> im still confused about gtk and kde...im trying to find a software on ubuntu e center...why is there 2 identical programs but one ends in gtk and other Kde>? can i install both?
[16:22] <Resistance> Khmerog, are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[16:22] <Resistance> Khmerog, they are for different desktop/runtime environments, are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu?>

[16:22] <reader_> how to access host apache server from virtual box guest os ?
[16:23] <Khmerog> GTK = Ubuntu and KDE = Kubuntu? what happens if i install a KDE on ubuntu?
[16:23] <MrIronMan> Can anybody go along with me to try to install ubuntu here on the system?
[16:23] <MrIronMan> cause it freezes with no warning
[16:23] <tensorpudding> Khmerog, then you have kde as well, and you can choose between them at the login screen
[16:23] <cookiemon5ter> Khmerog, you can install kde apps with ubuntu it will just fetch the kdelibs that you will need to run it
[16:24] <L3top> At what point MrIronMan?
[16:24] <bdragon_> cookiemon5ter: i hope he have some space to download all the KDE Libraries
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> Khmerog: you will get the option of KDE or Gnome at the login page
[16:24] <Khmerog> tensorpudding when i first installed ubuntu 1104 i remeber this login screen but now i dont have this option..
[16:24] <reader_> how to access host apache server from virtual box guest os ?
[16:24] <MrIronMan> L3top, when I choose "Try Ubuntu"
[16:25] <Khmerog> is it becuase i have it set to automatic login? im using 64 bit btw
[16:25] <MonkeyDust> Khmerog  what is it, you want or want to do?
[16:25] <tensorpudding> Khmerog,  that sounds like it, you can configure that option in the settings
[16:25] <Khmerog>  nothing im just trying to get uncofused about ubuntu/linux in genereal
[16:25] <MrIronMan> L3top, maybe it needs something like -noapic at the kernel, dunno
[16:25] <L3top> MrIronMan: Does it go black? Or does nothing happen?
[16:25] <MrIronMan> L3top, nothing
[16:26] <L3top> Yes... it just might.
[16:26] <L3top> !noapic
[16:26]  * L3top needs to just read the factoid page.
[16:26] <MrIronMan> L3top, but how could I do that?
[16:27] <MonkeyDust> Khmerog  'getting unconfused' is also called 'learn'
[16:27] <bdragon_> MonkeyDust: lol
[16:28] <reader_> how to access host apache server from virtual box guest os ?
[16:28] <Varsuchi> any networking experts here?

[16:29] <bazhang> Varsuchi, ##networking
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> reader_: set the networking to bridged and it will appear as another system on your LAN
[16:29] <ggherdov> Hi all. I'd like to know what is the "ubuntu way" to perform the following two operations: (1) set a user's shell say to bash (/etc/passwd ?) (2) set, persistently, and system-wide for all users, the keyboard layout to say US.
[16:29] <aldo_> I  want to be able to share files between your computers through your server and want to have phpMyAdmin accessible by your other systems from your Ubuntu Server system
[16:30] <llutz> ggherdov: 1 sudo chsh -s /bin/bash <username>

[16:30] <Maya> Yey Gimp 2.8 is out!
[16:30]  * Maya parties.
[16:31] <MonkeyDust> Maya  not yet in the repos
[16:31] <Maya> I know.
[16:31] <Maya> Just hyping it up though.
[16:31] <bazhang> !ot > Maya
[16:31] <ggherdov> thomaspr: not in my case. I have been given an ubuntu Virtual Machine in god knows what state.
[16:32] <ggherdov> llutz: thankyou
[16:32] <reader_> ActionParsnip, If I setup as bridged it will only work when I connected to a wifi network .
[16:32] <MrIronMan> So, should I go with another distro? Or there are workarounds for this freeze at startup?
[16:32] <Maya> I also wonder if anyone knows hwo i can resolve an issue regarding adobe flash settings manager and gnome do. In Ubuntu 12.04
[16:33] <Plouj> After an online upgrade from oneiric to precise my mouse and touchpad do not work. In fact, the synaptic driver doesn't even appear to be loaded. Can someone help?
[16:33] <bdragon_> MrIronMan: if everytime you hit a wall in linux you are going to change distro i have tell you, your gonna have to buy lots of Cd's lol
[16:33] <Maya> The problem is, in any web browser I use. I can right click on a flash video, or flash animation, and then select settings. After that, flash is no clickable.
[16:33] <MrIronMan> bdragon_, that's not the case here
[16:34] <bdragon_> MrIronMan: google is your best frined my brother
[16:34] <bdragon_> Friend*

[16:35] <bdragon_> MrIronMan: what is DuckDuckGo?
[16:35] <borlax> hey, anyone have a fix for lightdm hanging on the login screen?
[16:36] <MrIronMan> bdragon_, www.duckduckgo.com
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> duckduckgo <3
[16:36] <reader_> ActionParsnip, can u please help me to solve this ?
[16:36] <sin_tax> can someone tell me what I should put in fstab so my ntfs partition will show up as /media/windows/ instead of /media/109 GB filesystem?
[16:37] <sin_tax> I keep getting a Windows entry in my /media/ that eventually says it cannot be mounted and the 109 GB filesystem is still there...
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> reader_: i guess, I'd ask in #vbox
[16:37] <spow> startpage is privative also (if such is the subject), but it lacks the shortcuts ddgo has
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> bdragon_: its a webseach engine, without bubbles
[16:37] <reader_> ActionParsnip, Not getting any replay from #vbox
[16:37] <Maya> I prefer google to duckduckgo... If they would have image search URL on the page, then great. Dropdown boxes != sexy.
[16:37] <Propuls1on> Does anyone know why xpdf crashes instantly when I try to open a pdf file?
[16:38] <MrIronMan> spow, which service are you talking about?
[16:38] <MrIronMan> Maya, google is not free, it sells your personal information
[16:38] <spow> MrIronMan: dunno, someone said duckduckgo (I didn't see the question), startpage is a nice alternative
[16:39] <MrIronMan> Maya, while ddgo is
[16:39] <borlax> anyone having issues with lightdm locking up after you enter the password?
[16:39] <Maya> MrIronMan: Yea but I don't like clicking a lot.
[16:39] <Captain_Proton> Have a problem installing 12.04 on a asus desktop with efi. It will boot off CD or USB but it does not show a Hard Drive. any thoughts
[16:39] <safeith> How i can connect to HTTPS proxy like proxifier in windows ?
[16:39] <Maya> Captain_Proton: Make sure harddrive appears in your Asus bios.
[16:40] <bdragon_> safeith: you have to configure the browser
[16:40] <Maya> safeith: Visit #Windows
[16:40] <MrIronMan> Maya, I see... they are open for help, you could go there and help them out with what you cna
[16:40] <bdragon_> safeith: What brwoser are you using?
[16:40] <jgharris> Captain_Proton: Try F6 at boot and add the option nomodeset to the boot line. Wouldn't work on my MacBook unless I did that.
[16:41] <bdragon_> exit
[16:41] <bdragon_> exit
[16:41] <Captain_Proton> jgharris, I will give that a try
[16:41] <safeith> bdragon_: I have a http proxy and can inactive filtering with proxifier
[16:41] <Khmerog> sorry got disconnected
[16:41] <MrIronMan> Ok, guys, I have openSuse installed on the machine, gonna format and go with Ubuntu, lets see how it goes, cause the "Try Ubuntu" freezes up the machine
[16:41] <Khmerog> did anyone answer my question on where i can find the USB/SD Card folder in ubuntu?
[16:42] <MrIronMan> I will try it out, we can handle it, cant we?! :)
[16:42] <Captain_Proton> jgharris, is it shift to break the boot process
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> Khmerog: how do you mean 'folder'?
[16:42] <Maya> MrIronMan: Do you like the Unity interface you see?
[16:42] <MrIronMan> Maya, big time!!!
[16:42] <Maya> :D
[16:42] <MrIronMan> Maya, it is perfect for my grand parents, big and easy
[16:42] <Maya> Good luck with it.
[16:43] <spow> Unity :S
[16:43] <MrIronMan> k3 Unity
[16:43] <Maya> MrIronMan: Wait, do not just install that.
[16:43] <MrIronMan> Maya, hum okay, what's on your mind?
[16:43] <Maya> MrIronMan: You should install compiz settings manager, and tweak how sensitive the unity tray opens.
[16:43] <spow> funny how "Unity" really did not unite the community :D
[16:43] <borlax> anyone having issues with lightdm?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> spow: indeed, more ironic than funny :)
[16:44] <ThinkT510> spow: got a problem?
[16:44] <MrIronMan> Maya, I am looking at the Welcome screen
 i want to see whats in my SD Card i just put in but it didnt autopop up like in windows
[16:44] <spow> ThinkT510: nah i'm fine, I got gnome back
[16:44] <MrIronMan> Maya, the "Try Ubuntu" will freeze up the machine, so I am thinking about installing it, then I can have a better picture of what is locking it
[16:45] <Draton> Quick question guys: what controls Unity's launch bar icons? I'm trying to pin IDLE but it doesn't seem to want to display the icon properly.
[16:45] <ThinkT510> Draton: is it a blank space?
[16:45] <thomas91991> anyone know how to change the screen dimming timeout in 12.04?
[16:45] <Draton> ThinkT510, It's a box w/ a question mark on it
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> Draton: its the icon in the .desktop file
[16:45] <ThinkT510> Draton: oh
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> thomas91991: screensaver / power options in system settings
[16:46] <SafariMonkey> Hi guys. Are there any lists of known adware for ubuntu/linux?
[16:46] <borlax> anyone having any issues with lightdm?
[16:46] <jgharris> Safari: Looking to remove it?
[16:46] <jrib> !anyone | borlax
[16:47] <Captain_Proton> thomas91991, brightness and lock in system settings
[16:47] <MrIronMan> gonna have to brige up my connection to share it here, maybe I will go down
[16:47] <Draton> ActionParsnip, that's what I thought too, but the .desktop file shows properly, at least in /usr/share/applications
[16:47] <abhinavlal> Any easy way to install mysql 5.1 in 12.04
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> borlax: none at all
[16:47] <Draton> ActionParsnip, unless I'm at the wrong dir?
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> SafariMonkey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware
[16:47] <Maya> spow: Just wait until it's more customizable, you might be able to move the Unity tray to bottom of your desktop screen.
[16:47] <borlax> Sorry, I am having an issue logging in with lightdm. it is hanging after i type in my password
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> Draton: yeah should be /usr/share/applications
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> borlax: tried the Unity2D session?
[16:48] <SafariMonkey> jgharris, yes. I seem to have a fedex banner on all flash content...
[16:48] <yellabs-r2> any idea why totem cant play mp4 ?
[16:48] <yellabs-r2> video
[16:48] <Draton> ActionParsnip, hmm, what file determines what's pinned to the bar? perhaps it's pointing at the wrong file?
[16:48] <Maya> yellabs-r2: Missing codecs. Might be.
[16:48] <spow> Maya: it's about having a portable interface for tablets too right ?
[16:48] <yellabs-r2> odd
[16:48] <Khmerog> can i be on multiple networks on IRC?
[16:48] <Simkin> Khmerog: yes
[16:49] <Simkin> right now i'mon undernet and free node and quakenet
[16:49] <borlax> ActionParsnip: i did not, i have gdm running right now and that lets me in.
[16:49] <abhinavlal> Any easy way to install mysql 5.1 in 12.04 ?
[16:49] <Khmerog> thanks simkin
[16:49] <yellabs-r2> what codec - package might i need for totem to play mp4 video ? mplayer can play it fine , totem not
[16:49] <skylined101> Hello guys . i have a dedicated ubuntu server somwhere ( 24 gb ram ) can i install desktop and vnc and connect there remotly ?

[16:49] <Kangarooo> see in pic baloon popup still showing up. http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=7892 to witch pacage to report this?
[16:49] <yellabs-r2> -t
[16:49] <Captain_Proton> abhinavlal, sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[16:49] <jgharris> Safari: Check out adblockplus extension for Mozilla. Never had any issues with adware. Also you can install ClamAV to scan your drives
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> yellabs-r2: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:49] <yellabs-r2> i did
[16:49] <mcb_> abhinavlal: Can it be MySQL 5.5?
[16:49] <yellabs-r2> maybe reboot ?
[16:49] <yellabs-r2> LOL
[16:49] <thomas91991> Captain_Proton,  there is no setting to set the timeout
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> skylined101: why do you need remote desktop?
[16:49] <abhinavlal> Captain_Proton, that install mysql 5.5
[16:49] <ThinkT510> yellabs-r2: not really strange, totem is rather awful
[16:50] <skylined101> I want to install vmware workstatioon
[16:50] <yellabs-r2> hehe
[16:50] <Draton> skyjumpe1, I run a nas box w/ SSH
[16:50] <yellabs-r2> i will go for the reboot, see if that helps
[16:50] <abhinavlal> i need mysql 5.1 for a legacy application
[16:50] <borlax> ActionParsnip: I thought it might have had something to do with my custom background, but i even reinstalled lightdm and it still wont log in
[16:50] <Maya> spow: The future seems to be going this way: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android Looks cool.
[16:50] <yellabs-r2> long shot
[16:50] <Draton> skylined101, rather...
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> skylined101: you can install vmware without a desktop...
[16:50] <Kangarooo> see in pic baloon popup "Add Live CD" still showing up. http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=7892 to witch pacage to report this?
[16:50] <spow> Maya: nooooo ... not android haha
[16:50] <skylined101> how ?
[16:50] <SafariMonkey> jgharris, I am sure it's local, it even plays on local swf files.
[16:50] <Maya> spow: Well, not exactly android, just interface wise. Looks cool on notebooks too.
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> skylined101: its a binary installer that runs in a terminal, you don't need a terminal for that
[16:51] <Khmerog> if i want to complain about a OP who do i talk to
[16:51] <jgharris> SafariMonkey, Weird. Definately install ClamAV and see if it picks anything up.
[16:51] <wawowe> Khmerog: me
[16:51] <skylined101> yes but how can i manage vmware from terminal
[16:52] <jgharris> SafariMonkey, I think there is some root kit detection programs out there too.
[16:52] <ThinkT510> Khmerog: #ubuntu-ops i think
[16:52] <Maya> spow: But the reason I like Unity so much is that it's much cleaner. The menu bar is merged with the notification bar. So that is less pixels on your screen being used up. Your task bar would slide in/out whenever you need it. So the tray/tasks bar do not just sit there eating up pixels on your screen.
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> skylined101: connect to it using the VIC
[16:52] <Khmerog> thanks

[16:53] <steveccc> hi all - i have an ext3 filesystem on an old disk and the standard filesystem check says the check is complete and the filesystem is not clean. Its most probably that the disk has broken but is there a harsher filesystem check / repair I could try
[16:53] <thomas91991> On my laptop if I don't interact with the system ubuntu dims my screen a bit after about 30-60 sec... I want to increase this time out to 5 minutes or something?
[16:53] <Captain_Proton> abhinavlal, backports maybe but why would you want to there are BIG security fixes in the latter vrs
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> skylined101: runs well in Wine apparently: http://www.virtualinsanity.com/index.php/2009/02/02/vmware-infrastructure-client-on-ubuntu-an-update/
[16:54] <spow> Maya: true that ... but in a few full-screen consoles anyways ... and on ubuntu to cc Android + use Eclipse ... since it's the 'standard dev environment'. So I rolled back to gnome just to be closer to what i'm using
[16:54] <trekkme> when using ubuntu precises volume management to create a crypted partition, whats used as backend? luks/cryptsetup?
[16:55] <borlax> ActionParsnip: Just went through and tried Ubuntu2D and still not luck there
[16:55] <sin_tax> How can I add/change a label for an NTFS partition? Running 12.04 if it matters.
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> !label | sin_tax
[16:55] <sin_tax> Thanks AP
[16:55] <sin_tax> I trust that's OK for internal drives as well?
[16:56] <jgharris> !rootkit
[16:56] <spow> !gq
[16:56] <thomaspr> Khmerog: Have you found your devices in /media ?
[16:56] <mcb_> abhinavlal: Do you have a backup .deb file of MySQL 5.1? If not, you can download from mysql page, but i think they only let you download RPM files, so you will have to use alien to install, or download the tar ball and compile it.
[16:57] <yellabs-r2> solved the totem not playing mp4, install restricted, but also uninstall gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
[16:57] <Captain_Proton> thomas91991, you have to install gconf-editor and dig around in there
[16:58] <yellabs-r2> http://askubuntu.com/questions/126030/totem-not-playing-certain-videos-in-12-04
[16:58] <thomas91991> okay thanks
[16:58] <Maya> spow: I'm using eclipse+aptana right now, looks great.
[16:58] <yellabs-r2> aptana is great true
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> sin_tax: its a partition, so should be ok
[16:59] <spow> Maya: I'm used to vi and pure C :P
[16:59] <spow> Maya: so eclipse and java is a real pain
[16:59] <Maya> sin_tax: I hope you are using gparted. The interface for managing your partitions looks nice. More friendly
[16:59] <spow> Maya: but Ubuntu is ages more evolved than just a few years back
[17:00] <spow> so that's one good thing at least
[17:00] <kiran->  how to know my routers ip?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: the internmal IP or the external one?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: it has 2
[17:01] <Draton> ActionParsnip, interesting tidbit: when I use the hud and 'add to launcher', it gives me the generic icon, but by going to /usr/share/applications and dragging and dropping, it gives me the correct icon
[17:01] <syddraf> I'm trying to install the proprietary ati driver on a fresh xubuntu install, but it keeps failing. Does anyone know what could be causing it or where to look to find out?
[17:01] <kiran-> ActionParsnip tell me both
[17:01] <yellabs-r2> so thanks again great community of ubuntu users ! :)
[17:01] <Maya> kiran-: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17012/how-to-find-your-ip-address-in-ubuntu/
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: go to www.ipchicken.com  to see external
[17:02] <wawowe> syddraf: that was happening to me when i chose the updated version
[17:02] <kiran-> Maya no . not my ip. the routers page ip
[17:02] <Maya> kiran-: Visit Snoopmyip.com for external ip.
[17:02] <wawowe> syddraf: try the other one if you didn't
[17:02] <sin_tax> Maya, I am using GParted, thanks.  I had to unmount the partition before I could add the label, which was where I was hung up...
[17:02] <kiran-> ActionParsnip no . not my ip. the routers page ip
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: ip route show | grep default | awk '{ print $3}'    will show your internal IP
[17:03] <Maya> sin_tax: You can NEVER do anything to a partition that is mounted (Unless in rear cases but let use not get into that topic). Just dont try to change a partition that is mounted :+)
[17:04] <Maya> sin_tax: That page shows your internal Ip too.
[17:04] <maheanuu> I have been crashing around for the past 3 days trying to get the sound working on this Toshiba Laptop running only Ubuntu 10.04.4 64bit, I sure could use some help in troubleshooting the problem
[17:04] <sin_tax> Hopefully a reboot fixes my latest problem... /crossedfingers
[17:04] <grimeton> hi
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> maheanuu: is it ok in newer versions, like Precise?
[17:05] <grimeton> anyone in here using ubuntu on amd's abrazo?
[17:05] <Maya> maheanuu: Try: sudo alsa force-reload
[17:05] <maheanuu> I should say that it was working fine, until I opened Skype and then all hell broke loose now I cannot hear our use the mike on anything
[17:05] <Binsh> Weyho. Im getting a bit frustrated here. My ubuntu 12.04 crashes random while messing around with dash. The screen freeze, and then go black, then it comes back again, and so on.
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> maheanuu: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*    wait 10 seconds then try some sound stuff
[17:06] <Dommer> ISSUE:  When listening to music on my nw 8000 laptop I plug in my headphones and go to sound settings to mute the speakers but cannot find the option to only have it stream to my hadphones.  Same result in terminal > alsamixer.  what do
[17:06] <Binsh> Is there anywhere i can look in the logs for errors?
[17:06] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, Maya, I have no newer version, and will try a force reload and a killall
[17:06] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, I will be right back
[17:07] <splnet> Is this the right channel to ask about applets? I don't see an intuitive way to delete/add applets to unity. In my case there are 2 blueman applets.
[17:07] <user1_> need to monitor network bandwidth for each and every pc's, pls help me...
[17:07] <wawowe> Dommer: if you have multiple sound cards try hitting f6 in alsamixer
[17:07] <sin_tax> OK, I am 95% there - I have my partition auto-mounting and labeled properly, but when I go to unmount it, I get an error stating that only root can umount it.. I believe that I already did a chown to my username for the mount location, any ideas?
[17:08] <Dommer> wawowe only one.  Its a laptop :|
[17:08] <walbert> Hey guys - I have a slew (50+) of virtual machines on AWS, all of which have impossible-to-remember hosts.  On Windows, my solution for keeping them organized and accessible was a little script to keep SecureCRT's tree of available sessions up to date, using the descriptive names (not host names) of the instances themselves.  It seems like Ubuntu fits my work flow better in general, but I don't know of any good visual managers for r
[17:08] <walbert> emote hosts - and openssh config files don't really give me much in the way of being able to assign descriptive aliases.  Any ideas?
[17:08] <xangua> splnet: did you check that it is not repeated twice on the Startup preferences¿
[17:08] <wylde> sin_tax: you still require root access to mount/unmount partitions. Just prepend the command with sudo
[17:09] <jgharris> walbert: Landscape is available but its not free.
[17:09] <wawowe> Dommer: there should be a virtical bar in alsamixer with headphone under it
[17:09] <kiran-> Maya ActionParsnip how to get.. at the router seetings page? i have 2 routers. i cant get the ip of second one
[17:09] <sin_tax> wylde, well, with one of my NTFS partitions I can just do it via nautilus, but this one is throwing that error
[17:09] <wawowe> Dommer: if not then there may be an issue with the driver
[17:09] <Dommer> wawowe I know there _should be_, but it is not available
[17:09] <wawowe> Dommer: what kind of sound card does it have?
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: then look at the ip of your interfaces and you can probably guess the IP from that. If they have not been configured you'll probably find that both are <IP_ADDRESS> which will cause havok with routing
[17:10] <splnet> xangua: let me check that
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: if so, disconnect one wire and access the router
[17:10] <jgharris> walbet: Are you looking to do asset management?
[17:10] <wylde> sin_tax: did you try it with sudo? I believe nautilus use gvfs for mounting.
[17:10] <Dommer> intel 82801DB-ICH4
[17:10] <Brustofski-Fan> i can't find gtk+-2.0 glib-2.0 gthread-2.0 in the 12.04 repo
[17:10] <Dommer> intel 82801DB-ICH4 wawowe
[17:11] <kiran-> ActionParsnip how to trace route?
[17:11] <walbert> jgharris: not particularly, i just need ssh and sftp
[17:11] <chandru_in> how do I delete old data of incremental backups with duplicity?
[17:11] <hector> using multiple monitors, does anyone know how to remove the panel at the top from the screens other than the primary?
[17:11] <Dommer> kiran- zenmap is an applicatio for ip ping, trace route, whois, and more.  Good to look into.
[17:11] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, Maya, I tried both with no results and AC I will post the res7
[17:11] <chandru_in> Say I have weekly scheduled backups but want to clean up all backup older than a week
[17:11] <lousygarua> ubuntu 12.04 - my min/max/close buttons are on the right side of the windows! all of the sudden! i know it's weird, but i want them back on the left side. does it have to do something with the gnome-settings-daemon?
[17:12] <jgharris> walbet: Should just need write a bash script then.
[17:12] <walbert> hector: it's in the "Displays" section of system settings, under Launcher placement
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> kiran-: you'll need to install the tracerote package then the command is also traceroute, not tracert like in windows
[17:13] <walbert> jgharris: yeah, I was resigning to that, but figured I'd ask in here first
[17:13] <Captain_Proton> I am trying to install 12.04 on a ASUS desktop with a EFI bois I can get it to boot but when I try to install it there is no hardrive. I tried both IDE and SATA settings.
[17:13] <kiran-> ActionParsnip i think by that i can find my 2 ips|?
[17:13] <walbert> landscape looks interesting, but doesn't exactly fit the use case i've got in mind
[17:13] <jgharris> walbert: Hehe.
[17:14] <wawowe> Dommer: what is in alsamixer? master pcm etc
[17:14] <hector> hey walbert: it just shows one huge screen called "Laptop" even though its two desktop monitors =/
[17:14] <meraj> hi
[17:14] <__Alex_> Anyone experienced with Busybox, is there a way i can make ash use a startup script?
[17:14] <meraj> is there any one to help me?
[17:14] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, Maya, I tried both and no joy here are the results of the action you asked for AC, http://paste.ubuntu.com/965068/
[17:15] <walbert> hector: I've got the same 'laptop' terminology faux pas, but it lets me choose between "Laptop", and "All Displays".  Choosing "Laptop" takes it off the auxilliary screens
[17:15] <hector> hmm, i'll try setting it to All first and then set it back to Laptop
[17:16] <hector> didnt work :(
[17:16] <wawowe> Dommer: also what does aplay -l say
[17:17] <walbert> hector: Don't know what to tell you :)  If it helps, I'm using the nvidia non-free drivers in a twinview configuration
[17:17] <meraj> hi
[17:17] <hector> thanks walbert :)
[17:17] <wawowe> meraj: what do you need help with?
[17:17] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, Maya, this was a working system until I re-installed Skype then things took a turn for the worse and with my playing around I have seemed to make things intolerable here

[17:23] <jackjackw> its basically nothing, just a little launcher and a load of key commands
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> jackjackw: I use lxde too, which uses openbox
[17:23] <jackjackw> lxde, ive never had a look at... worthwhile?
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> maheanuu: no, run it in a terminal and select to upload to the server
[17:23] <wawowe> meraj: you want to use both keyboards at the same time?

[17:31] <meraj> wawowe:no,i can not access the bios.
[17:31] <lousygarua> Got disconnected and dunno if anyone answered. My problem is that the min/max/close buttons on the windows are all of the sudden on the right side of the window title bar, and I liked them where they were!
[17:31] <jackjackw> this channel is chaos :')
[17:31] <maheanuu> and the age of my drivers was unknown I re-installed 10.04.4 after a catastrophic drive failure
[17:31] <steveccc> does extra software have to be installed on 12.04 to mount ext3 filesystems
[17:32] <wawowe> meraj: then it is a hardware issue, try taking it apart and making sure the keyboard ribbon is plugged in
[17:32] <wawowe> steveccc: no
[17:32] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, the age of my drivers was unknown I re-installed 10.04.4 after a catastrophic drive failure,

[17:33] <steveccc>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error"
[17:33] <cookiemon5ter> if i minimize xchat to tray it just disappears nowhere to be found, anyone else have issues with this with unity
[17:33] <meraj> wawoe: is there any upgradation of keyborad drivers ,kindly assist me.
[17:34] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: are you using screen or telnet or something?

[17:34] <zumodoki> Hello!
[17:34] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: Btw why you said that..?
[17:34] <zumodoki> Quick question.

[17:35] <kesavan> bilegt"
[17:35] <kesavan> bilegt: no
[17:35] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: because the error says "dumb terminal"
[17:35] <steveccc> is there anything that can be done with a bad superblock on a disk when filesystem check comes back clean?
[17:35] <bilegt> kesavan: thanks
[17:36] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: ohh yes, I'm running via ssh..
[17:36] <kesavan> but you need to access the executable differently
[17:36] <tdlam> hello folks
[17:36] <meraj> caption_p:  ya tell me
[17:36] <jackjackw> okay: updated question - does anyone know why mod4 (win key) on my filco tenkeyless usb is not working on ubuntu in general?

[17:38] <tdlam> thank you folks
[17:38] <jackjackw> usb filco keyboard's mod4(winkey) is not working at all ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[17:38] <L3top> Right... is this using bumblebee or your own assignment in xorg?

[17:38] <richy17> my software center is crashed
[17:38] <oles> ubuntu 12.04 can boot only with acpi=off, is it possible to fix this problem?
[17:38] <tdlam> God bless you both that did it all the best and thank you again
[17:39] <julian> http://acid-wire.tk
[17:39] <oles> on my laptop
[17:39] <CJKay1> L3top: I used nvidia-xconfig to create the xorg.conf.nvidia file, which is what IronHide is reading to start its own X server
[17:39] <jackjackw> ActionParsnip : yes
[17:39] <CJKay1> L3top: I used to just download the previous pre-made ones that ironhide-configure offered, but now it just dies
[17:39] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: TERM=xterm apt-get install puppet
[17:39] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: type that
[17:39] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: it looks like it finished installing though, from that last paste, so you could just manually edit /etc/default/puppet
[17:39] <richy17> broadcom network card will not work with ubuntu
[17:40] <L3top> CJKay1: did you set the BUS ID?
[17:40] <CJKay1> L3top: Si
[17:40] <wylde> !broadcom | richy17
[17:40] <L3top> hmmm... I need to look up ironhide.

[17:41] <xskydevilx> Has anyone had problems with nVidia drivers and 12.04?
[17:41] <CJKay1> But like I said - it works, but I guess not... very stable
[17:41] <CJKay1> xskydevilx: Oh hai
[17:41] <richy17> my ubuntu software centre crashed
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> richy17: wired or wireless?
[17:41] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: ok…I'll give a try..and tons of thanks :)
[17:41] <xskydevilx> CJKay1, So yes?
[17:41] <CJKay1> xskydevilx: Yes
[17:41] <CJKay1> xskydevilx: What's the problem?
[17:42] <xskydevilx> CJKay1, Flickering at first and instability.
[17:42] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: TERM=xterm dpkg-reconfigure puppet
[17:42] <xskydevilx> CJKay1, Now it doesn't log into Unity 3D.
[17:42] <richy17> my ubuntu software centre is crashed i cannot install anything
[17:42] <CJKay1> xskydevilx: Do you know if you're using the nouveau driver (default) or have you apt-get installed nvidia-current?
[17:42] <linuxmonkey> richy17:  does it give you an error
[17:42] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: okay
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | richy17
[17:43] <richy17> linuxmonkey: yes
[17:43] <maheanuu> ActionParsnip, All working wonderfully, thank you again for the "rescue",
[17:43] <xskydevilx> CJKay1, I'm using the proprietary one.
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> maheanuu: i suggest a newer release, the newer libraries and drivers will help your system run smoother
[17:43] <ghabit> Hello. I'm looking for easy and gui DLNA server. Help me please ^)
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> maheanuu: that text I gave was on the sound troubleshooting procedure Ubuntu doc, it should have been your first thing to go to
[17:44] <richy17> my ubuntu software centre is crashed
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> richy17: yes, I gave you the fix
[17:45] <jackjackw> ActionParsnip, I dunno how you deal with them :>
[17:45] <oles> how can i use tex mode while installation?
[17:45] <oles> text
[17:45] <CJKay1> xskydevilx: Could you give us the output of "lspci | grep VGA" and also the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (upload to pastebin.com, set syntax highlighting to Xorg config)
[17:46] <L3top> CJKay1: interesting read http://askubuntu.com/questions/108648/bumblebee-or-ironhide
[17:46] <xskydevilx> CJKay1, I can't get into the actually GUI at the moment, as I am using Windows to actually contact someone. Also, I just get a black screen when I try to boot it now.
[17:47] <yitz_> I got an Ubuntu server that's spamming the logs with messages about USB devices ... and I don't see any USB device plugged in. "new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 82" "usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71" "usb 2-1:350
[17:47] <yitz_> ... device not accepting address 62, error -71". Either there's a hidden USB device or a damaged usb controller (we had some water issues) or .. something. Any ideas? Any way to disable USB? I might just modprobe -r the usb stuff
[17:47] <bikbak> my terminal has been crashed
[17:47] <CJKay1> L3top: Odd, the repo is updated for precise so I presumed he was working on it
[17:47] <L3top> !nomodset
[17:47] <L3top> boo at my inability to use factoids
[17:48] <wylde> yitz_: if you don't need usb, see if you can disable usb entirely in your bios.
[17:48] <bikbak> my terminal crashed
[17:48] <CJKay1> xskydevilx: Ah, that could be a problem. Reboot, choose the Ubuntu recovery mode option, and then select the failsafe graphics mode
[17:48] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: its giving this error: dpkg-preconfigure: unable to re-open stdin:
[17:48] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: I ran this: conn.exec_command("\export TERM=xterm; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install puppet")
[17:48] <xskydevilx> CJKay1, will try in a few minutes.
[17:48] <yitz_> wylde: Oooh. Good idea. Will see if the BIOS offers that
[17:48] <wylde> bikbak/richy17: do you actually have a problem or are you just trolling?
[17:48] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: ignore slash
[17:48] <bikbak> problem
[17:48] <linuxmonkey> L3top: probably cayse its not a factoid in the database
[17:49] <CJKay1> L3top: Doesn't look like TBP has ben updated for ~4 months either :/
[17:49] <yitz_> 'sudo lsmod | grep -i usb' doesn't show anything that I can remove :(
[17:49] <CJKay1> I'll give it a go anyway
[17:49] <handydart> i cant remove ubuntu, i have install it with wubbi
[17:50] <wylde> bikbak/richy17/handydart: do you actually have a problem or are you just trolling?
[17:50] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: are you logged in with ssh or are you executing cmds without logging in?
[17:50] <freeball> does anyone know why in 12.04 encryptfs-utils is missing and apt-get install says package cannot be found
[17:50] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: I'm running this ssh-commands via script..and thats why I can't afford dpkg-reconfigure
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> !find encryptfs

[17:51] <sepr> hey I got this problem, i'm trying to add an openvpn to my ubuntu installation (installed openvpn etc already) but everytime I want to select a certificate for the connection it doesn't show up :/ (so I click on the drop down to select one, it makes me search for it in the filesystem, I go to the directory where the cert is but it seems to be "hidden", even when I enable to see hidden files)
[17:51] <sepr> can somebody help me?
[17:51] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: like a php script?
[17:51] <v1z_> hey
[17:51] <v1z_> dist-upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 finished
[17:51] <v1z_> but 12.04 wont boot
[17:51] <v1z_> all I get is a gray screen
[17:51] <FloodBot1> v1z_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:51] <abhinavmehta> yes, kind of…actually its a python script.
[17:51] <wylde> !enter | v1z_
[17:51] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: any reason you can't run them without the script?
[17:51] <v1z_> sorry. typing from mobile.
[17:52] <Greenwhirl> Ok, so...
[17:52] <Greenwhirl> I'm trying to install Ubuntu
[17:52] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: script is what..I'm trying to build.
[17:52] <Greenwhirl> but my main hard drive isn't showing up in the installer
[17:52] <Greenwhirl> only the thumb drive that I'm running ubuntu from

[17:52] <balachmar> Hi, can someone help me fix my grub2? After reboot it dropped to grub rescue.
[17:52] <sepr> is there anyone who can help me?
[17:52] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: I'm writing a simple python app..which can handle different cloud-vendors with single python-app.
[17:53] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: so, point is don't want a solution to fix this manually
[17:53] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: manually..I've already fixed this….but with ssh, I'm getting stuccoed.
[17:54] <jackjackw> okay so my mod4 key also works in unity2d ActionParsnip
[17:54]  * v1z_ upgraded 11.10 -> 12.04 wont boot, all I get is a grayish screen. is dist upgrade really this useless?
[17:54] <balachmar> \j #btrfs
[17:54] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: you could avoid using dpkg-preconfigure
[17:54] <jackjackw> so its defo a fluxbox issue methinks
[17:54] <Greenwhirl> Help?
[17:55] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: how..?
[17:55] <v1z_> going for a fresh install. thats ubuntu culture anyways. no upgrades  they say ...
[17:55] <patson> hi.. I'd like to know how to run the installer (ubiquity) in textmode (I have the desktop 32 bit .iso as a bootable USB  stick)
[17:56] <freeball> ok I wasnt typing in the correct package name :o
[17:56] <patson> for some reason, the graphical installer crashes right after I enter the user details
[17:56] <fidel_> patson: using some kind of special chars?
[17:56] <patson> syslog leads me to think that some value doesn't get passed correctly
[17:56] <patson> nope
[17:56] <wylde> patson: get the alternate iso for text based install
[17:56] <patson> wylde: dammit
[17:56] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: i'm not sure if apt-get has an option to do that, but it does have an option to download only
[17:56] <patson> guess I have to
[17:57] <wylde> patson: yeah basically, afaik
[17:57] <wyt> hello everyone
[17:57] <v1z_> conclusion: avoid dist-upgrade; install 12.04  fresh.
[17:57] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: so you could use apt-get "download only" and a script to install the downloaded debs with dpkg
[17:58] <wylde> v1z_:  do-release-upgrade?
[17:58] <wyt> i'm having a basic navigation issue within terminal. could someone help me?
[17:58] <fidel_> !ask | wyt
[17:58] <v1z_> wylde: what?
[17:58] <wylde> v1z_: I upgraded my server, had a few fixes to do afterwards but it's working quite well.
[17:58] <balachmar> Hi, can someone help me fix my grub2? After reboot it dropped to grub rescue.
[17:58] <myFriend> how to repair my laptop is not working
[17:58] <Dr_willis_> !fixgrub
[17:58] <wylde> v1z_: to upgrade to 12.04, you can use do-release-upgrade
[17:59] <wyt> every time i type "cd" and a directory it says "no such file or directory
[17:59] <myFriend> i tried to upgrade ubuntu 12.04 now i see a screen for asking to boot, it is the grub
[17:59] <freeball> someone should make a utility that compiles a list of nondefault software installed and tarballs your home directory for install fresh installing
[17:59] <myFriend> but none of the options make it work
[17:59] <myFriend> it always come back to the same screen over and over
[17:59] <fidel_> wyt: are you used to 'pwd' and 'ls'?
[17:59] <Dr_willis_> wyt,  You are using the proper name? CASE is imporntant... use the TAB key to auto-complete names
[17:59] <myFriend> what should I try?
[17:59] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: for installing that way, I've to build the source..and for that I'll need build-essentials etc….and I want to avoid installing build-essentials, coz target node will be a production node..and build-essentials may bring security-holes..
[17:59] <linuxmonkey> !enter | myFriend
[17:59] <CJKay1> L3top: Installed bumblee from git, will report back after restart
[18:00] <v1z_> wylde: ok but I cant even boot; do-release-upgrade after I already did a dist upgrade? (I did an upgrade to 12.04 from update-manager gui
[18:00] <wyt> im used to cd and dir like with DOS
[18:00] <ghabit> sorry for question repeating, was in reboot. Looking for DLNA server, advise me please.
[18:00] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: and team has decided already…not to build source on target machines.
[18:00] <wyt> proper name? im pretty sure i am
[18:00] <myFriend> I just run the memtest now
[18:00] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: you wouldn't need source
[18:00] <Dr_willis_> wyt,  'Case is imporntant - lesson #1'   Downloads is NOT the same as downloads
[18:00] <wylde> v1z_: ahh alrighty, sorry I missed that. I have a few things going on here atm.
[18:00] <fidel_> wyt: 'pwd' outputs the current directory
[18:00] <fidel_> wyt: 'ls' shows the content of the current dir
[18:00] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: just apt-get -d $DEB; dpkg -i $DEB
[18:00] <lousygarua> found my answer here http://askubuntu.com/questions/124015/window-controls-moved-to-right-hand-side#_=_
[18:01] <Dr_willis_> wyt,  when in doubt use the tab key to auto complete names and paths. its worth while to read a few bash guides.
[18:01] <fidel_> wyt: try those in combination with tab-completion while typing
[18:01] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: okay…I'll re-try with this. thnx again :)
[18:02] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: something like that, but the issue is you'll have to manually configure anything that used dpkg-preconfigure
[18:02] <wyt> thanks :)
[18:02] <Dr_willis_> !bash | wyt
[18:03] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: hmm…but that's not a problem for me…but thanks for pointing.
