[06:40] <ak5> histo: only for certain upgrades, not my specific one
[06:41] <ak5> histo: for example From 10.04 LTS to 10.10
[06:41] <overjoyedpulp> i'm using 2.16 on ubuntu 12.04, and i cannot get any plugins installed. I tried using apt-get to install gnash, flash, and mozplugger. i've also tried manually copying the relevant *.so files to ~/.mozilla/seamonkey/plugins and still seamonkey doesn't recognize the plugins (it lists the files under [INVALID] in pluginreg.dat)
[06:41] <ak5> I need 10.04 to 12.04
[06:41] <Ben64> ak5: 10.04 goes straight to 12.04
[06:41] <ak5> Ben64: so I have been told. I am now looking for how I do that ^_^
[06:41] <overjoyedpulp> i forgot to mention it's 64-bit and ive tried using nspluginwrapper per the documentation on mozilla's website
[06:42] <Ben64> ak5: it's set up like that by default
[06:42] <one> what about 10.04.3
[06:42] <ak5> Ben64: you misunderstand, I don't know about ubuntu at all and I am trying to figure out how to start the upgrade processs
[06:42] <Ben64> overjoyedpulp: 2.16? anyway flashplayer is in the repos
[06:42] <histo> ak5: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
[06:42] <dr_willis> !upgrade
[06:42] <histo> ak5: then do-release-upgrade
[06:43] <histo> ak5: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades#Network_Upgrade_for_Ubuntu_Servers_.28Recommended.29
[06:43] <overjoyedpulp> ben64: i know that, but seamonkey doesnt recognize it when i install it
[06:43] <histo> dr_willis: Yeah that trigger is stupid now
[06:43] <one> does the bot give checksums?
[06:43] <histo> dr_willis: well not the trigger the page on the wiki is.
[06:43] <histo> one: checksums on what?
[06:43] <dr_willis> i normally do clean installs.. seems fadter
[06:43] <one> histo: the iso's
[06:43] <dr_willis> faster
[06:44] <Ben64> overjoyedpulp: well seamonkey isn't in the repositories, so you're on your own : /
[06:44] <histo> dr_willis: upgrade is actually faster.
[06:44] <SunStar> clean install is the best way to go on any platform
[06:44] <histo> one: they are listed on the download page
[06:44] <histo> SunStar: That's not true
[06:44] <dr_willis> wasent for me last time... but it was during the release week...
[06:45] <ak5> histo: thanks a lot :)
[06:45] <SubCool> histo, having an issue with that- appears my usb isnt being seen
[06:45] <histo> SubCool: How did you just install kubuntu then?
[06:45] <SubCool> histo, with that usb drive.. - idk.. :/
[06:45] <ak5> histo: so this automatically changes my sources.list ?
[06:45] <histo> SubCool: Well that's not good. Possibly the drive going bad causing issues with files that were copied?
[06:46] <histo> ak5: yes
[06:46] <histo> ak5: not your custom entries if you have any though it will disable those temporarily
[06:46] <one> histo: i cant get to the download page because of my fascist firewall
[06:46] <ak5> histo: what if I only have custom entries :D
[06:46] <SubCool> histo, dont say that- :/
[06:46] <histo> one: let me see if I can pastebin a file
[06:46] <SunStar> darn firewalls. Always where they're not wanted! >_<
[06:47] <one> histo: pm is fine
[06:47] <one> pastbin is also a website
[06:47] <histo> one: P.S. that's what sshuttle is for.  You could forward all your network traffic to another box that has ssh running.
[06:47] <SubCool> histo, reinstalling now..
[06:47] <histo> one: which iso?
[06:48] <one> histo: 10.04.4
[06:48] <ak5> is it true that ubuntu is considering switching to rolling release model for non-LTS releases?
[06:48] <histo> one: desktop / server/ 32 bit or 64bit?
[06:49] <one> histo: desktop alternate i386 please use pm
[06:49] <histo> ak5: I haven't heard that. but every six months is pretty rolling release safely as it's going to get
[06:50] <ak5> histo: idk, I am coming from arch, just testing ubuntu for my servers, I might switch to that
[06:50] <morning> It seems I need help reinstalling grub2 (on Precise). I dropped my laptop, and now on boot I get the "grub rescue" prompt. From what I've seen online, I gather that "grub-cfg" is messed up. So now I've booted from a usb. Following directions from message #7 at ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t-1331720, I've done this: (1) mount/dev/sda1 /mnt. (Good.) (2) mount -bind/dev /mnt/dev. (Good.) (3) chroot /mnt. But here I get the response "segmentation fault." Th
[06:50] <morning> e next steps would be (4) install-grub /dev/sda and (5) update-grub2. But I'm over my head and don't want to proceed until I understand the message I've received. What should be my next step?
[06:50] <ak5> the vps I got came preinstalled with lucid which doesn't have php-fpm (not even as backport)
[06:50] <overjoyedpulp> ak5: i've heard the rolling release thign too
[06:50] <one> !kernel
[06:50] <ak5> overjoyedpulp: huh interesting
[06:50] <ak5> what about systemd
[06:51] <one> how do i see which kernel 10.04.4 has ?
[06:51] <ak5> are you guys going to jump on the systemd train?
[06:51] <one> !lucid
[06:52] <SubCool> histo;now my computer wont boot from my usb
[06:52] <histo> one: you release it's going to expire soon for desktop support right?
[06:52] <SubCool> histo isn that bios?
[06:52] <histo> SubCool: yes
[06:52] <one> histo: ive never used support anyway
[06:52] <histo> SubCool: has nothing to do with ubuntu
[06:52] <histo> !info linux-image-generic lucid | one
[06:53] <SubCool> histo, so- the computer boots into ubuntu, gets kinda far- then bails out into busybox??
[06:53] <histo> one: isn't the md5sum file contained in the iso?
[06:53] <histo> SubCool: from usb?
[06:54] <one> histo: ok very god
[06:54] <one> *good
[06:54] <SubCool> histo, no- it boots off the HD-
[06:54] <histo> one: 598b48059bafa2e0314bce8a07a9ff1f
[06:54] <one> histo: what are the offical checksums please
[06:55] <histo> one: that's 10.04.4-alternate-i386.iso
[06:55] <histo> SubCool: You need to boot to livecd or usb to fix your system.
[06:56] <one> hi jasonjang
[06:56] <ak5> so no systemd?
[06:56] <SubCool> k- figured it out- its the usb
[06:56] <one> histo: thanks, i did ask for pm though
[06:57] <SubCool>  histo booting up- what would u like me to do once the computer boots
[06:57] <histo> SubCool: use gparted and see which disk is marked as bootable. Fix that or install grub to one or the other.
[06:58] <SubCool> histo, oh- thats pretty easy;. lol
[06:59] <histo> SubCool: most likely both disks are marked as bootable. Or something goofy.
[07:00] <SubCool> histo, after what i did- probably both'
[07:00] <SubCool> so- cant i just run grub2 update?
[07:00] <apb1963> I'm trying to do:  "/etc/init.d/mysql restart" it's returning with   "start: Job failed to start"  syslog has this contribution:  http://ix.io/4DN
[07:00] <histo> SubCool: open gparted on the live cd
[07:00] <SubCool> histo, my boots on a lvm... does that matter
[07:01] <histo> SubCool: see which drive has the boot flag enabled
[07:01] <SubCool> histo, waiting on it-
[07:01] <apb1963> Any ideas
[07:01] <apb1963> ?
[07:01] <histo> apb1963: sudo restart mysql
[07:03] <apb1963> restart: Unknown instance:
[07:04] <somsip> histo: sudo service restart mysql
[07:04] <morning> I'm getting a "grub rescue" prompt. I gather I need to reinstall grub2 on my boot disk (sda1). Can someone tell me how to do that while I'm running from a usb?
[07:04] <somsip> apb1963: sudo service restart mysql
[07:04] <apb1963> restart: unrecognized service
[07:04] <somsip> apb1963: sudo service mysql restart
[07:05] <somsip> apb1963: sorry - correcting my correction...
[07:05] <apb1963> stop: Unknown instance: start: Job failed to start
[07:06] <histo> somsip: restart blah works
[07:06] <somsip> apb1963: stop it first. Then start it. Post anything in /var/log/mysql/error.log
[07:06] <somsip> histo: really? woah - so it does. My apologies
[07:06] <SubCool> histo, sda was marked for boot- but i also have an lvm. so im installing the packages now.
[07:07] <pvl1> histo, did u compike mysql or install from repo
[07:07] <pvl1> oops
[07:07] <pvl1> apb1963, did you compile mysql or install from repo
[07:07] <pvl1> sorry histo
[07:08] <apb1963> repo I think, but I have to doublecheck
[07:09] <histo> SubCool: Is this a dualboot system?
[07:09] <apb1963> yah, repo
[07:09] <apb1963> do-over? :)
[07:09] <somsip> apb1963: mysqld can sometimes complain if the correct my.cnf entries are missing. Did you overwrite any existing cnf when you upgraded (or did you just install>)
[07:09] <pvl1> apb1963, can you try mysqld restart. rather sudo mysqld restart
[07:09] <apb1963> somsip: Yah
[07:10] <somsip> apb1963: Yeah to what? Install or upgraded? Overwritten cnf or kept old one?
[07:10] <apb1963> oh i didn't see the last part of your sentence... overwrite I think.
[07:11] <Aaron> somsip huh?
[07:11] <somsip> apb1963: k. If it's not going to break anything, you could try removing and reinstalling but it's a weak answer, I know
[07:11] <SubCool> histo, no- but it appears the lvm2 packages failed
[07:11] <pvl1> somsip, apb1963 or possibly just get a new cnf?
[07:11] <somsip> apb1963: eg: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127264/cant-start-mysql-mysql-respawning-too-fast-stopped
[07:12] <somsip> apb1963: /var/log/mysql/error.log can be handy if you are logging errors
[07:13] <histo> SubCool: grub needs to be installed to the mbr of the bootable drive assuming you aren't using EFI
[07:13] <SubCool> histo, i think your right- my hd might be failing-  i keep getting disc erros and such
[07:13] <apb1963> doesn't exist... so I guess I'm not logging errors??
[07:13] <somsip> apb1963: I can't remember the default setting, but fair to assume it's disabled if you have nothing there.
[07:13] <histo> SubCool: depends are they IO errors?
[07:14] <histo> SubCool: also you can check smartmontools to see
[07:14] <SubCool> histo, no- but i keep getting these random crap outs.
[07:14] <SubCool> is that a package?
[07:14] <hossein> I am still not able to find the answer
[07:14] <hossein> It seams easy but it is not
[07:14] <somsip> apb1963: in /etc/my/my.cnf should have "log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log" Might be worht adding to see if it gives more helpful output
[07:14] <hossein> I just want to click a link
[07:14] <hossein> the ubuntu does not let me to do
[07:15] <hossein> what is the reason/
[07:15] <SubCool> histo, nvm- install it now- or trying to
[07:15] <somsip> apb1963: but maybe this will b0rk if mysql is not starting up properly to whatever point it needs to start up to log errors....
[07:15] <hossein> this is the website: http://gmplib.org/
[07:16] <hossein> i should openthe download benckmark sources
[07:16] <apb1963> somsip: Seems to be divided up into sections... which section should I add it to?
[07:16] <somsip> apb1963: [mysqld]
[07:17] <apb1963> Not there.  There's a [mysqldump] and a [mysql]  should I create a new section?
[07:18] <somsip> apb1963: ummmm. There should be lots of mysqld entries. This might be your problem. Like I advised, a reinstall or as pvl1 suggested, get a virgin my.cnf from somewhere
[07:18] <somsip> apb1963: backup the current one first, natch
[07:19] <SubCool> histo, thanks- but im going to bed.. ill [ick this up later- :/
[07:20] <somsip> apb1963: I have [mysqldump[ and [mysql] but about 116 lines of [mysqld] and others above it. Looks like you cnf is quite messed up if these are missing
[07:20] <histo> SubCool: kk
[07:21] <apb1963> yes...  I think a virgin would be a good solution... where do I find a virgin?
[07:21] <somsip> apb1963: I suppose you'd have to go to a source package or unpack a deb. Any ideas pvl1? You suggested it...
[07:22] <ntzrmtthihu777> who got booted?
[07:22] <apb1963> don't any of you have an untarnished one?
[07:22] <ntzrmtthihu777> apb1963: what file?
[07:22] <apb1963> my.cnf
[07:22] <somsip> apb1963: what version of mysql
[07:23] <ntzrmtthihu777> apb1963: what dir is that in
[07:23] <somsip> ntzrmtthihu777: /etc/mysql
[07:23] <apb1963> 5.6 I guess
[07:24] <ntzrmtthihu777> apb1963: I have never touched this file, here it is
[07:24] <apb1963> thank you
[07:24] <fetzy> Hi I'm new to ubuntu. Well Linux un general. I am installing it onto an old laptop I don't use anymore. I think the old OS was corrupted or something. I am using a USB stick to install it, and it seemed to be working, but now its been stuck at the same screen for a long time. Is there something wrong?
[07:25] <somsip> apb1963: guessing does not help. Run mysql -v
[07:25] <apb1963> thank you all :)
[07:25] <apb1963> can't
[07:25] <ntzrmtthihu777> http://pastebin.com/txRWzwTB
[07:25] <ntzrmtthihu777> I never even knew the file existed, until just now
[07:25] <apb1963> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[07:25] <somsip> apb1963: sorry - it's not running is it...
[07:25] <Bray90820> ntzrmtthihu777 any more info for me
[07:26] <somsip> apb1963: well, might be worth trying ntzrmtthihu777's file in case that helps.
[07:26] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: I honestly have no idea atm
[07:26]  * ntzrmtthihu777 hangs his head
[07:26] <Bray90820> is /dev/sda3 the same as hd0,2
[07:27] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: oh no, lol
[07:27] <pvl1> somsip, cant find it atm
[07:27] <ntzrmtthihu777> hd starts at 0, but the other one starts at 1
[07:27] <pvl1> somsip, still needed?
[07:27] <TakeItEZ> Bray90820: for grub1 it is, grub2 would be (hd0,3)
[07:27] <somsip> pvl1: np = ntzrmtthihu777 posted one that looks clean
[07:28] <pvl1> somsip, ok just making sure
[07:28] <ntzrmtthihu777> so you want hd0,3
[07:28] <Bray90820> well android is installed on /dev/sda3
[07:28] <Fuzzles> whats the current server version? 8.04?
[07:28] <Bray90820> so i woild want hd0,3
[07:28] <Bray90820> is that correct
[07:28] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: are you telling me we have been looking in the wrong partition?
[07:28] <Bray90820> i might
[07:29] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: give it a shot and try :D
[07:29] <apb1963> Yup.  Seems to have done the trick
[07:29] <fetzy> Can anyone help me?
[07:29] <somsip> apb1963: mysql running now?
[07:29] <apb1963> Thank again you guys!
[07:29] <apb1963> Yes
[07:29] <Bray90820> what would /dev/sda3 be tho
[07:29] <somsip> apb1963: cool - nice pastebin ntzrmtthihu777!
[07:30] <apb1963> heh, I can't even check the version without providing a password.  Now that's security.  lol

[07:32] <fetzy> I asked the question already, but no one replied...
[07:33] <ntzrmtthihu777> fetzy: shoot
[07:33] <fetzy> Hi I'm new to ubuntu. Well Linux un general. I am installing it onto an old laptop I don't use anymore. I think the old OS was corrupted or something. I am using a USB stick to install it, and it seemed to be working, but now its been stuck at the same screen for a long time. Is there something wrong?
[07:33] <Fuzzles> fetzy, someone will reply when they no the anser or see your question..... whats wrong?
[07:33] <Fuzzles> fetzy, is it stuck at installing?
[07:34] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: I asked for a repeat, I missed the question
[07:34] <antonio__> hey folks...
[07:34] <fetzy> yes it says it is creating ext4 file system for / in partition #1 of LVM VG ubuntu, LV root...
[07:34] <antonio__> Does anyone know of a program that can be used to keep someone from getting distracted from websites, etc?
[07:34] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777, what from fetzy?
[07:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: yeah
[07:35] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777, Hi I'm new to ubuntu. Well Linux un general. I am installing it onto an old laptop I don't use anymore. I think the old OS was corrupted or something. I am using a USB stick to install it, and it seemed to be working, but now its been stuck at the same screen for a long time. Is there something wrong?
[07:35] <somsip> antonio__: explain more
[07:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> xD lol, you don't need to repeat again.
[07:35] <antonio__> just found one http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/self-control-ubuntu
[07:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> I saw that one.
[07:35] <antonio__> somsip: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/self-control-ubuntu
[07:35] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777, oh my bad :P
[07:35] <ooboo> hello. question: isn't having NOPASSWD set for sudo just as bad as leaving the root user enabled?
[07:36] <ntzrmtthihu777> fetzy: you say it hangs?
[07:36] <digitalshankar> Hi Please help. I have mounted ecryptfs {Private data mounted read-only at [/tmp/ecryptfs.wU7imHMu} but when i open, it saying i am not the owner. I am using live cd ubuntu.
[07:36] <aeon-ltd> ooboo: yes
[07:36] <ntzrmtthihu777> ooboo: no, because they cannot enter a password tht does not exist
[07:36] <histo> !firewall | antonio__
[07:36] <aeon-ltd> ^ that possibility too
[07:36] <Bray90820> ntzrmtthihu777 should it be hd0,3 or hd 0,3
[07:36] <ntzrmtthihu777> !patience | aeon-ltd
[07:36] <ooboo> aeon-ltd: would using ssh key authentication make it ok?
[07:36] <antonio__> histo: I'm not interested in a firewall...I'm looking for a program to keep me on track
[07:36] <Fuzzles> this maybe a noobie question but is unity built on gnomeshell
[07:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> oops, wrong person
[07:37] <fetzy> It hasn't changed from this screen. I can move the mouse around, and it has the loading symbol moving in a circle, but it has stayed the same for probably half an hour now.
[07:37] <histo> antonio__: medication?
[07:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> !patience | digitalshankar
[07:37] <antonio__> haha..no
[07:37] <histo> !unity | Fuzzles
[07:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> fetzy: how old is the machine?
[07:38] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: unity is a compiz plugin
[07:38] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: it runs on top of gnome3, I believe
[07:38] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777, thanks i wish they would mature it
[07:38] <fetzy> it is a dell latitude D610... i dont know how old it is
[07:38] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: I wish they would get rid of it
[07:39] <antonio__> I just installed this self control program...cant seem to find it anywhere though
[07:39] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777, dont you like it?
[07:39] <SubCool> histo, ok- im still up :/ - how do i fix this? gparted is up- lvm2 is up. there appears to be a boot on sda - but i cant view lvm with gparted . im trying to remmeber which program does it
[07:39] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: nope. I can't stand it. I always use gnome-shell
[07:39] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777, im using it, its ok but i perfer kde
[07:40] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: hd0, no space
[07:40] <histo> SubCool: does sdb also have a boot flag on?
[07:40] <Bray90820> ok
[07:41] <SubCool> no
[07:41] <SubCool> histo, but - the lvm is
[07:41] <histo> SubCool: install grub to sda
[07:42] <yourimym11> thx for guys helped me
[07:42] <histo> SubCool: or make sdb bootable and install grub there
[07:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> yourimym11: no prob
[07:42] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777, tbh i like most DEs apart from LXDE find it pointless
[07:42] <SubCool> histo, how?
[07:42] <histo> !grub2 | SubCool
[07:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: I tested lubuntu and it is pretty nice, but its default application set is too far different to be worth my while re-customizing
[07:43] <SubCool> histo, well, idk- gparted doesnt show a sdb- but i know the lvm has something on it.. how do i read it
[07:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: I now use gnome-fallback with docky
[07:44] <ntzrmtthihu777> fetzy: what version of ubuntu are you installing
[07:44] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777,  find its too limited on old machines i use xfce lightweight but still a full desktop
[07:44] <ooboo> so am i fine to have NOPASSWD ALL set for my admin user if i am using ssh key authentication instead of password logins?
[07:44] <fetzy> the newest, 12.10 i guess
[07:45] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: really? I got started in ubuntu with a old slaptogether junkbox designed for winxp using default lucid, it worked just fine.
[07:46] <ntzrmtthihu777> fetzy: first off I would suggest 12.04.2, you get 5-year support without all the fail in quantal
[07:46] <fetzy> ok, I was just going to try it out to see how i liked it first, so that is why i decided to just go with 12.10
[07:47] <ntzrmtthihu777> fetzy: my brief experience with 12.10 was horrid.
[07:48] <fetzy> hmm ok. i will try that then, thank you for your help.
[07:48] <ntzrmtthihu777> is there a general dell support channel anywhere?
[07:48] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777, true but now ubuntu uses unity its so heavy on resources its even more then KDE now specially that 4.10 has big performance boost
[07:48] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: like I said, I use gnome-fallback, no unity
[07:49] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: you could think of it as gnubuntu
[07:49] <ak5> it asked me to change the root password for mysql when updating from lucid to precise no less than 3 times (??)
[07:50] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777, i can switch to kubuntu and remove unity and gnome without issues adn reinstalling right program
[07:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> ak5: I think the root mysql password is not the same as the ubuntu root
[07:50] <ak5> ntzrmtthihu777: yes, i know. but why ask 3 times
[07:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: is that a statement or a question?
[07:50] <somsip> ak5: you're doing a long upgrade process. Just go with it.
[07:51] <ntzrmtthihu777> ak5: ok lol
[07:51] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777, question
[07:51] <ak5> somsip: is there some logic hidden there
[07:51] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: I belive so, yes
[07:51] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777, ok ill give it a try
[07:51] <ntzrmtthihu777> ak5: in ubuntu there is a certain timeout for sudo, 15 min default, maybe mysql has the same thing
[07:52] <somsip> ak5: just an encouragement to not worry about things you cannot affect
[07:52] <ak5> somsip: should I report a bug?
[07:52] <ntzrmtthihu777> Fuzzles: do not remove unity and gnome untill you are sure kde works fine
[07:52] <ak5> it's kinda stupid to reproduce, but... it is a bug, right?
[07:52] <somsip> ak5: is it broken?
[07:52] <digitalshankar> Hi please help. I have mounted Ecryptfs in tmp directory using Ubuntu Live CD but when i open, it saying "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "ecryptfs" I am unable to open it..... any other way to open it????
[07:52] <ntzrmtthihu777> !patience | digitalshankar
[07:52] <ak5> somsip: not per se
[07:52] <ak5> ... and it asked me again
[07:53] <somsip> ak5: I would encourage you to complete the upgrade process. Just go with it
[07:53] <t-mart> digitalshankar: are you doing whatever you're doing as root?
[07:53] <ak5> ok this time i am going to change it instead of "keeping the old password if I leave it blank"
[07:53] <countley> can someone tell me why my wireless works but i cant see wlan0 when i ifconfig
[07:53] <digitalshankar>  t-mart:  how to do it as root as it is a live cd....
[07:54] <yourimym1> ntzrmtthihu777: hey back i need simple instruction to mount specifc folder insted the whole parition  what parameters to change in the fstab file ?
[07:54] <ak5> somsip: also, why does ubuntu-server have wireless-tools/wpasupplicant/etc by default?
[07:54] <Fuzzles> ntzrmtthihu777, ok i wont ill come back if all is well
[07:54] <somsip> ak5: dunno
[07:54] <t-mart> digitalshankar: sudo <command>
[07:54] <ntzrmtthihu777> yourimym1: not doable.
[07:55] <yourimym1> umm
[07:55] <ntzrmtthihu777> countley: it may not be wlan0, my default wifi card on my machine is labeled as eth2
[07:56] <digitalshankar>  t-mart: i did enter this command : sudo cd /tmp/ecryptfs.wU7imHMu   and it replied : sudo: cd: command not found
[07:56] <countley> ntzrmtthihu777: yeh i got eth2 aswell but i cant put it into monitor mode help
[07:57] <ntzrmtthihu777> countley: monitor mode? are using backtrack or something?
[07:57] <antonio__> I'm trying to find out how to install the self restraint program here http://parker.kuivi.la/projects/selfrestraint
[07:57] <countley> no ubuntu 12.0.4
[07:57] <t-mart> digitalshankar: do you really need what you encrypted in there?
[07:58] <t-mart> digitalshankar: is the ecryptfs "file" on the livecd or on an installed ubuntu?
[07:59] <rdz> hi all. is there  a way to mount a cifs share as a normal user in ubuntu 12.04?
[08:00] <iceroot> rdz: use for example nautilus to access the share or "connect to server"
[08:01] <countley> ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[08:01] <TakeItEZ> yourimym1: man mount (--bind)
[08:01] <iceroot> rdz: or this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1459182
[08:01] <ntzrmtthihu777> countley: can you get online?
[08:02] <countley> yeh
[08:02] <ntzrmtthihu777> countley: then why exactly do you need monitor mode?
[08:03] <somsip> yourimym1: you could work around by mounting the whole partition somewhere, then creating a symlink to the folder you want
[08:03] <countley> airodump-ng
[08:03] <ntzrmtthihu777> countley: I'm just curious, being a year old backtrack user makes me think dat way.
[08:03] <TakeItEZ> yourimym1: basically you mount the whole partition at /somewhere, then /etc/fstab "/somewhere/mydir /newmountpoint none bind 0 0 "
[08:03] <ntzrmtthihu777> countley: why do you need airodump-ng
[08:03] <digitalshankar> t-mart:  the ecryptfs is in hard drive which i messed up by installing differenet desktop manager now it's not booting so i am trying to recover my data.
[08:03] <countley> i normaly use backtrack but i could get the drivers for my wireless
[08:04] <ntzrmtthihu777> TakeItEZ: you should not use the same pass for different partitions on the same hdd
[08:04] <t-mart> digitalshankar: so, when you try to boot the messed up partition, do you get a command line?
[08:05] <ntzrmtthihu777> countley: I just fail to see the point in useing the aircrack-ng suite on anything but backtrack
[08:05] <SubCool> ok - im a lil confused. - i need to install system-config-lvm - but 0-- its not listing ??
[08:05] <IzzoDizzo> has anybody managed to get the nvidia drivers working while using EFI on a macbook?
[08:05] <yourimym1> somsip: TakeItEZ: i've mounted the whole partition already , , but what about the second step u saaid
[08:05] <yourimym1> somsip tell me more about symlink to the folder how can that be done
[08:05] <ntzrmtthihu777> yourimym1: symlink is like a shortcut
[08:06] <TakeItEZ> ntzrmtthihu777: "same pass"?
[08:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> yeah, the 0 0 at the end
[08:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> pass 0 dump 0
[08:06] <SubCool> histo,  - since u've been around..
[08:06] <calwig> this really is strange
[08:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> have a look at man fstab, I'm out for a bit
[08:06] <SubCool> histo, why isnt this package listing?
[08:07] <calwig> I just formatted a USB. Wrote a Windows ISO and it boots to a grub menu. How is that possible? I just formatted it before that, and put ubuntustudio and it booted. And previoius to that Vista, and it booted. Help
[08:07] <TakeItEZ> yourimym1: you want to mount some dir from the partitio mounted at a specific place, add an fstab-entry like "/somewhere/mydir /newmountpoint none bind 0 0 "
[08:07] <ntzrmtthihu777> TakeItEZ: you should use uuids, not paths
[08:08] <ntzrmtthihu777> TakeItEZ: what he wants is a certain directory inside another partition mounted somewhere.
[08:08] <ntzrmtthihu777> TakeItEZ: your idea about symlinks is what he needs.
[08:08] <TakeItEZ> ntzrmtthihu777: bind-mounts don#t need any pass/dump entries, therefor 0
[08:09] <yourimym1> so :) what should i do !
[08:09] <TakeItEZ> ntzrmtthihu777: do you even know what bind-mount is?
[08:10] <ntzrmtthihu777> TakeItEZ: yes, although maybe not in technical terms. along the lines of what happens when you set up a separate /home from the start.

[08:16]  * SunStar reports the ops for flooding  XD
[08:16] <IdleOne> yeah, that was less noisy then I was hoping :/
[08:16] <IdleOne> err more noisy that is
[08:16] <Flannel> SunStar: It's not flooding, it's whac-a-mole :P
[08:16] <somsip> IdleOne: they looked like they up for havoc, so I had to shout...
[08:16] <ntzrmtthihu777> TakeItEZ: now mister mount-master, I got a question for you
[08:16] <elky> IdleOne, you only needed to op yourself once :P
[08:17] <ak5> how do I specify that I need x86_64 arch not i386, apt-get update is getting both lists and is taking forever (I am in China and the mirrors here suck hard)
[08:17] <elky> Flannel, i much prefer guac-a-mole
[08:17] <ak5> can I add amd64 somewhere in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[08:17] <countley> i know but this is the only liux that recognises my drivers
[08:18] <ntzrmtthihu777> ak5: 你好
[08:18] <ak5> ntzrmtthihu777: right back at ya, but that doesn't solve my problem
[08:18] <ntzrmtthihu777> lol.
[08:19] <ntzrmtthihu777> ak5: you are using x64, but some programs are only 32 bit so you would need them
[08:20] <ak5> so how does it handle multilib?
[08:20] <ntzrmtthihu777> ak5: I have both the 64 and 32 bit libs on my machine for compatability on some things
[08:21] <wayne__> I love ubuntu
[08:21] <ak5> there are precious few things on a server (actually none that come to mind) that need to be 32 bit
[08:21] <ntzrmtthihu777> wayne__: as do I
[08:22] <wayne__> I'm running Linux ubuntu inside windows 7.  And its pretty awesome
[08:22] <ak5> things like skype or so might still only have a 32bit version... but all daemons I can think of exist as 64bit bins
[08:22] <wayne__> I have an AMD bulldozer, 16 GBS of gskill ram, 800 watt psu.  And a GTX 660 Ti
[08:23] <somsip> wayne__: and you support question is...??
[08:23] <wayne__> lol I was looking for a heck yeah thats sweet reply
[08:23] <somsip> wayne__: maybe #ubuntu-offtopic would be better for you. this is the support channel
[08:23] <ak5> !ot | wayne__
[08:24] <wayne__> Okay thank you
[08:24] <somsip> wayne__: cool.
[08:26] <ntzrmtthihu777> ak5: very little (read: none) server experience on my part, but would not the user, if they are running 32bit, need them?
[08:27] <ak5> ntzrmtthihu777: short answer: no
[08:27] <ntzrmtthihu777> I'm jealous of his machine, lol
[08:27] <ak5> !ot | ntzrmtthihu777
[08:28] <ntzrmtthihu777> ak5: look we all cut witty jabs now and then and no one stays completely ot in here. its not liek I was flooding repeated bs
[08:28] <user_23415> Will I be able to install and use the Mir display server on ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
[08:28] <ntzrmtthihu777> user_23415: what is mir
[08:28] <ak5> well with that unwitty retort you are starting to
[08:29] <user_23415> ntzrmtthihu777: the new display server from Canonical. Probably aimed at ubuntu 14.04.
[08:29] <rdz> iceroot, many thanks!
[08:29] <ntzrmtthihu777> user_23415: fascinating
[08:30] <aaas> ubuntu 12.10  is restarting periodically  http://i.imgur.com/sSM6kXX.png  ... swapped ram with another computer, cpu temps seem ok: http://i.imgur.com/5FRmkVq.png  ... if there's nothing in ubuntu that would periodically cause a restart, I'm thinking it's the PSU
[08:30] <ntzrmtthihu777> user_23415: in hopes of not sounding like a total luddite, exactly what does it do.
[08:30] <carinaet> Hello, is it alright if I ask a long question?
[08:30] <ntzrmtthihu777> aaas: simple fix: quantal bites everyone where the sun don't shine. get onto precise lts
[08:30] <IzzoDizzo> !ask|carinaet
[08:30] <dr_willis> go for it. ;) but  keep it short. ;P
[08:31] <dr_willis> Ive had very few issues  with 12.10
[08:31] <aaas> ntzrmtthihu777 can you think of a reason why it would restart on it's own...baring a actual reason, im not switching
[08:31] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: but you're the doctah
[08:31] <dr_willis> im basically running defaults out of the box also
[08:31] <user_23415> ntzrmtthihu777: mir display server promises to be the successor of x.org display server and to provide better security, performance and easier development (I guess).
[08:32] <dr_willis> user_23415:  dont forget 'convergance'
[08:32] <ntzrmtthihu777> user_23415: this frightens me. unity shoulda been the next big thing but it bites.
[08:32] <user_23415> dr_willis: +1 right at the point
[08:32] <rdz> iceroot, the option 'users' was what i've been looking for so long time..  now i can mount as normal user
[08:33] <ak5> how do I let dameon start at boot using this upstart thingy?
[08:33] <iceroot> rdz: :)
[08:33] <dr_willis> ak5:  normally they  have a /etc/init/whatever.conf file to controll it launching
[08:33] <dr_willis> ak5:  the upstart cookbook website gives lots of details
[08:33] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: this is infuriating.
[08:33] <ak5> ok1~~
[08:34] <dr_willis> ntzrmtthihu777:  i dont know what you  are going on about.

[08:34] <Sliss> why is flash not working on my firefox on ubuntu for a long time? (ff19 + flash-aid = still no flash)
[08:34] <ntzrmtthihu777> remember the iso discussion the other night?
[08:34] <dr_willis> ntzrmtthihu777:  im lucky to rember my own name half the time. ;)
[08:34] <ntzrmtthihu777> Sliss: why not just use flashplugin-installer
[08:34] <carinaet> Hi, if I unplug the storage drives in my PC, then install Ubuntu from a USB to another USB, then plug the windows drives back.Now, my question are: Does that leave the Windows drives untouched? How about the Bios? If I boot to Ubuntu from USB drive, would it try to do something to my Windows Drive or Bios?  Thank you very much!
[08:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> carinaet: no need to unplug the windows drives, they will not be touched unless you tell them to be.
[08:35] <dr_willis> carinaet:  make sure you install grub to the USB drive.. and not the windows drive.. theres a dialog/pulldown somewhere.. it should default to the usb.. but you  want to double check
[08:35] <Sliss> flash-aid is using flashplugin-installer if you didnt know ntzrmtthihu777
[08:36] <ntzrmtthihu777> carinaet: in fact if you set bios to boot the usb stick before the hdd, you can choose when to boot the usb based on whether its plugged in or not
[08:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> Sliss: is that so. seems to be another layer of annoyance to me, it came default on my pinguy os's firefox, i just got rid of it and installed fp-ins. from apt-get
[08:37] <W8uiE5> suddenly my pc crashes, when i start firefox: (firefox:2502): Gtk-WARNING **: GModule (/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so) initialization check failed: GLib version too old (micro mismatch). already tried apt-get update/upgrade and aptitude -f install under kubuntu 10.04. what can i do?
[08:38] <ntzrmtthihu777> !EOL | W8uiE5
[08:39] <ntzrmtthihu777> W8uiE5: in other words you are a month shy of being dead in the water, why not upgrade and save yourself some grief?
[08:39] <ak5> dr_willis: there has got to be a better way than to write my own configs for nginx and php-fpm
[08:39] <ak5> this *is* ubuntu, right :D
[08:39] <dr_willis> ak5:  im not even sure what you  are doing..
[08:39] <ak5> dr_willis: I want to start nginx at boot
[08:39] <Sliss> I tried all sorts of solutions, in fact reinstalling again, but after every attempt (from when adobe is developing only for chrome) I have no flash in ff
[08:39] <janderson91z> hey, i had a question that maybe someone here can answer. how can i check and see what version of the amd proprietary driver is in the repo?
[08:40] <dr_willis> ak5:  ngix from the repos sould come with a upstart conf file.
[08:40] <ak5> hm
[08:40] <dr_willis> !find ngix.conf
[08:40] <dr_willis> may  be called somthing else..
[08:40] <iceroot> janderson91z: apt-cache show packagename
[08:40] <somsip> ak5: seems to support this point - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-nginx-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin
[08:40] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: why is ubottu tuned to quantal when the current lts is precise?
[08:40] <W8uiE5> ok, thanks
[08:41] <dr_willis> ntzrmtthihu777:  because quantal is the latest release.. how about the other lts releases that are stull supported?
[08:41] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: touche
[08:41] <dr_willis> i just wish the bot tool #'s instead of names i can never spell right
[08:42] <carinaet> ntzrmtthihu777: thanks for the clarity and tip. dr_willis: thanks for pointing out that feature. -PC isn't mine. Thanks for giving me the confidence to push through with the plan
[08:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: yeah, nice idea eh? it is open source, do it yerself :D hell with it I'll do it
[08:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> carinaet: what did I tip you with, again?
[08:42] <dr_willis> i think the whole cutesy animal nameing kjust causes more confusuin.
[08:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: I need womething to occupy my geek
[08:43] <dr_willis> ntzrmtthihu777:  port the C64 game 'wavy navy' over to Linux. ;)
[08:44] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: what was that command to find about the bot and such IdleOne told me earlier?
[08:44] <dr_willis> !bot
[08:44] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: I like old games but not that old, lol
[08:45] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: thankya
[08:45] <l057c0d3r> and what's wrong with old games...  im working on the elder scrolls chapter 1: the arena.. in dosbox at the moment..
[08:45] <l057c0d3r> free download from the elder scrolls website btw
[08:45] <ntzrmtthihu777> l057c0d3r: nothing wrong with old games, I am doing a re-work of one right now under rpg maker xp
[08:45] <carinaet> ntzrmtthihu777: you said it wouldn't matter if the windows drive are connected. and, setting usb with a higher boot priority.
[08:45] <l057c0d3r> ah i see
[08:46] <Akiva-Mobile> I am not sure if this a bug, so I would like to ask for some help before I report it
[08:46] <ntzrmtthihu777> carinaet: ah gotcha. Sorry, too many ppl I'm shooting tips at lol
[08:46] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: shoot
[08:46] <Akiva-Mobile> Can anyone help me in nautilus in adding a bookmark?
[08:46] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: easily done
[08:46] <l057c0d3r> drag and drop
[08:46] <Akiva-Mobile> ntzrmtthihu777: Not working for me
[08:46] <Akiva-Mobile> nope
[08:47] <Akiva-Mobile> drag and drop is not working in nautilus
[08:47] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: I have dropbox, ubuntu one, and the playonlinux virtual drives bookmarked
[08:47] <Akiva-Mobile> ntzrmtthihu777: It stopped working for me.
[08:47] <carinaet> ok will try it now. thanks again.
[08:47] <Akiva-Mobile> ntzrmtthihu777: Even using the menus does not work.
[08:48] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: enter the directory in nautilus, hit ctrl+d
[08:48] <Akiva-Mobile> Menu>add bookmark >>> all it did was add an old bookmark that I removed, but then would not work again.
[08:48] <Akiva-Mobile> ntzrmtthihu777: ill give it a shot
[08:49] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: and if that does not do it you can manually edit a config file, let me find it again
[08:49] <dr_willis> Akiva-Mobile:  you havent ran nautilus as root lately have you? ive seen where some user config files get owned by root. and thus the user cant change them
[08:49] <janos__> sziasztok szép jó reggelt
[08:49] <Akiva-Mobile> dr_willis: Yes I had done that. I hate using chmod :P
[08:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> janos__: svedisch?
[08:50] <dr_willis> Akiva-Mobile:  id check ownership of the  files in your home.  ;)
[08:50] <Akiva-Mobile> dr_willis: Well that must be it then; that makes the most sense. Gah, you must be a level 4 users
[08:50] <Akiva-Mobile> user*
[08:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: you're too kind
[08:51] <Akiva-Mobile> dr_willis: ntzrmtthihu777 >> now assuming this is the case; should this be reported as a bug?
[08:51] <ntzrmtthihu777> is there an opposite of /ignore in irc?
[08:52] <SunStar> favorites
[08:52] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: I don't know, if it was done without your mis-actions, then yes. if you screwed up, then no. sorry if its blunt/harsh
[08:53] <ntzrmtthihu777> SunStar: perhaps opposite is wrong term, along the lines of making them deaf to you
[08:53] <Akiva-Mobile> ntzrmtthihu777: well, sudo nautilus is just my mickey mouse trick to avoid remembering complex chmod flags. I wish it warned me about my config file though.
[08:53] <somsip> ntzrmtthihu777: unignore, same syntax I believe
[08:54] <ntzrmtthihu777> somsip: nope, you missed my latest query
[08:54] <Akiva-Mobile> frankly, I am still bugged that you still can not change permissions of files easily in nautilus with a root password.
[08:54] <somsip> ntzrmtthihu777: you want to set yourself as ignored by them?
[08:54] <ntzrmtthihu777> somsip: yes! not that I wish to do it, but wonder if its doable
[08:55] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: check ~/.gtk-bookmarks
[08:55] <dr_willis> Akiva-Mobile:  i recall seeing some nautilus scripts for that.
[08:55] <l057c0d3r> 0_o  so you can talk about them without them seeing.. how rude
[08:55] <somsip> ntzrmtthihu777: not something I'm aware of
[08:55] <ntzrmtthihu777> l057c0d3r: xD not gonna, just wondering
[08:55] <l057c0d3r> heh..
[08:55] <dr_willis> sudo nautilus is bad... gksudo nautilus i  think will avoide the problems
[08:55] <Akiva-Mobile> dr_willis: I am just surprised it still exists. I was considering on building a chmod gui
[08:56] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: chmod is pretty easy, actually.
[08:56] <Akiva-Mobile> and that was 4 years ago
[08:56] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: an excellent point, do not use sudo for graphical applications, ever.
[08:56] <Akiva-Mobile> ntzrmtthihu777: I used to know how to use it, but I always had to double check my flags
[08:56] <dr_willis> i got a little chmod app on my phone. ;) or i just use mc...
[08:56] <SunStar> when using gksudo nautilus be mindful of permissions and ownership
[08:56] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: it exists already. right-click properties, permissions.
[08:56] <Akiva-Mobile> and some flags are complex.
[08:57] <dr_willis> I belive theres a nautilus setting to show advanced chown/chmod options
[08:57] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: you are talking about the number ones?
[08:57] <Akiva-Mobile> ntzrmtthihu777: well usergroups are not exactly straightforward
[08:58] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: agreed.
[08:58] <Akiva-Mobile> as long as I have been on linux, I have never bothered to research them.
[08:58] <zetheroo> how do you get the nvidia-current driver to actually become active?
[08:58] <Akiva-Mobile> ntzrmtthihu777: Well, if not a bug report, maybe a brainstorm.
[08:59] <zetheroo> seems like just installing it is useless ... as the Mesa driver is still being used
[08:59] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: I wish they had better customizability for ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, lol. that is my one wish atm.
[09:00] <Akiva-Mobile> ntzrmtthihu777: lol
[09:00] <dr_willis> zetheroo:  i  install, then reboot. then run nvidia-settings to setup  the xorg,conf how i  want. then restart the X server
[09:00] <Akiva-Mobile> ntzrmtthihu777: Wait, I am on ubuntu brainstorm, brb
[09:00] <ntzrmtthihu777> Akiva-Mobile: srsly, I hate that I can't get my dropbox in the same place as my other ~/ dirs
[09:01] <Bray90820> ntzrmtthihu777 so apperently i need to move my android partition to /
[09:01] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: erm, when you boot android your android partition become /
[09:01] <ntzrmtthihu777> and when you do ubuntu the same occurs
[09:01] <Bray90820> it does?
[09:02] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: yeah, any multiboot does, I believe.
[09:02] <Bray90820> hum i have something to show you
[09:03] <ntzrmtthihu777> is there a way to change the gnome-fallback menu setup from applications | places to applications | places | system like in lucid?
[09:04] <Bray90820> ntzrmtthihu777 http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=LvuEYL3E
[09:04] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: oh yes, this could work, methinks.
[09:05] <Bray90820> i'm not really 100% sure what that even means tho
[09:05] <Bray90820> but i wanna try it just to see
[09:05] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: you would not be moving the android partition to /, but instead emptying its contents into the / of sda1
[09:05] <Bray90820> AHH
[09:05] <Bray90820> i'll also make a backup :)
[09:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: but for you, since your ubuntu / is sda1, would use hd0,1
[09:06] <Bray90820> yes
[09:06] <Bray90820> the mounting point would also change
[09:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> and i am not sure if it would matter, but can you place that } curly bracket on its own line?
[09:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> it bugs me XD
[09:12] <dr_willis> hmmm
[09:13] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: :?
[09:13] <dr_willis> its quiet.... tooo quiet...
[09:13] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: any thoughts on my question?
[09:13] <dr_willis> which one?
[09:14] <ntzrmtthihu777> about the threefold division of the old lucid menu vs the two menu system of gnome-fallback in precise
[09:14] <dr_willis> i  dont use fallback. so never even noticed
[09:15] <ntzrmtthihu777> I *really* hate having to dredge through the apps menu for what was (and should be) in the separate system menu
[09:15] <dr_willis> theres some alternative indicator applet menu apps that give sort of a classic type menu.
[09:17] <ntzrmtthihu777> *gish* the only other one that, while beautifully displaying the logo, lumps all three into one
[09:17] <zetheroo> dr_willis: I install nvidia-current which then automatically installs nvidia-settings with it. After installing I reboot the machine. After reboot there is no Nvidia Settings shortcut  in the Ubuntu menu ... so I have to open a terminal and do 'sudo nvidia-settings' which then opens it up with a message telling me that the nvidia driver is not in use and that I need to run 'nvidia-xconfig'. So I try 'nvidia xconfig' in the terminal but get 'command not fo
[09:18] <dr_willis> zetheroo:  it would be 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' an its not really needed these days
[09:18] <dr_willis> if you have no xorg.conf then it should auto load the nvidia driver
[09:19] <dr_willis> see if you do have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:19] <ntzrmtthihu777> I *could* install from lucid's ppa's I'd likely lose a feature I want but do not know it, and lucid is almost out of style anyways.
[09:19] <dr_willis> if so rename it.
[09:19] <zetheroo> dr_willis: yeah 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' ... no go ...
[09:19] <zetheroo> dr_willis: I agree that the driver should be auto-loaded ... ;)
[09:19] <dr_willis> nvidia-xconfig was needed ages ago to generate the xorg.conf . but now the xorg.conf is optionsl
[09:20] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: you're a cool dude, not like some of these other patently annoying experts
[09:20] <dr_willis> IF you  have an xorg.conf tghats loading  some other drivers.. that can cause issues
[09:20] <dr_willis> and im sitting here at work.. getting paid (not for ircing.. but just being at work) :)
[09:20] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: sounds nice
[09:21] <dr_willis> zetheroo:  this isent one of those dual gpu optimus systems is it?
[09:21] <zetheroo> dr_willis: I see ... but why is it that if I install the nvidia 175 driver it will work after a reboot automatically?
[09:21] <zetheroo> dr_willis: no, this is an older Quadro NVS card
[09:21] <dr_willis> i  only  use the drivers in the repos.. what ones did  you use? sounds like they maybe not  for your  card/broken
[09:22] <zetheroo> and I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on that machine :D
[09:22] <l057c0d3r> that's what i ws thinking dr_willis..  maybe his card is to old for the newer drivers hence why an older set works but the newer one does not
[09:22] <zetheroo> the Nvidia 175 is in the Hardware Drivers dialog ... straight from Ubuntu repos
[09:22] <dr_willis> that would be my guess.. they  are  constantly  dropping out old cards from the propitary drivers
[09:23] <zetheroo> I saw on the Ubuntu forums though that my card was supported in the nvidia-current driver
[09:23] <zetheroo> I see
[09:23] <zetheroo> bummer
[09:23] <dr_willis> nvidia-current is just a generic name for whatever is current in that release..
[09:23] <zetheroo> is there a place where the current list of supported cards are for the nvidia-current driver?
[09:23] <dr_willis> for 10.04 it could be nvidia-current is that older driver not the current available drivers
[09:24] <dr_willis> nvidias site has a list of cards for driver versions
[09:24] <dr_willis>  the term 'nvidia-current' is ubuntus geenric name.
[09:24] <zetheroo> well it was nvidia-current from x-swat repo which was the last one I tried ...
[09:24] <l057c0d3r> speaking of video card drivers.. i had to install the amd drivers from the site to get steam game working.. but i need to drop them and update to the beta some time....
[09:24] <dr_willis> nvidia-current in 10.04 may  not be the same version as ncidia-current in 13.04 ;)
[09:24] <l057c0d3r> been putting it off
[09:25] <dr_willis> xswat would be  using the latest from the nvidia sites.
[09:25] <zetheroo> ok
[09:25] <dr_willis> so that indeed sounds like.. newer drivers dont support your card
[09:25] <l057c0d3r> dr_willis, speaking of xswat..  when i added there ppa.. it didn't update my drivers to the experimental versions...  and the updates they gave xorg broke my working steam games :-(
[09:26] <l057c0d3r> just ppa_purged it and built my own debs from the amd website
[09:26] <l057c0d3r> fixed me up good
[09:26] <dr_willis> ive never really  uses xswat stuff.
[09:26] <ntzrmtthihu777> <3 debs
[09:27] <dr_willis> my nvidia sysem is using a 320 card I think.. so its getting a little old
[09:27] <dr_willis> plays skyrim however ;)  just not at max settings
[09:27] <l057c0d3r> i havent tried skyrim with my new driver yet.. however with the driver from the repo..  it would only run on medium settings..
[09:28] <l057c0d3r> but it plays thats all that really mattered to me
[09:29] <calwig> hi
[09:30] <dr_willis> bbl
[09:30] <calwig> can anyone assist with a ISO USB stick weird issue?
[09:30] <l057c0d3r> found out today.. that if i don't boot my system with the hdmi cable plugged in.. i cant get 1080p display on my tv.. but a reboot with the cable plugged in and i can..  kind of odd..  also have to boot with my turtle beach headset plugged in or i cant get digital in the sound settings..
[09:30] <l057c0d3r> calwig, what's the issue
[09:30] <calwig> l057c0d3r, thank you
[09:31] <calwig> USB stick, unetbootin installs Ubuntu ISO, boots fine, installs to partition. No prob
[09:31] <zetheroo> I was just trying to get xbmc working ... so I installed this nvidia card thinking it would be better than the onboard Intel gfx ... man was I wrong!
[09:31] <calwig> then I erase partition with gparted, install Windows Vista or 7 ISO with unetbootin, boots to grub menu... why?
[09:31] <ntzrmtthihu777> calwig: because grub is likely in your mbr
[09:32] <calwig> that i figured out, but how do i remove it completely
[09:32] <ntzrmtthihu777> calwig: that I know not, sorry
[09:33] <l057c0d3r> hmm... so windows 7 installed but from there you can not boot into it..  strange.. usually windows 7 overwrights the mbr with its boot loader
[09:33] <ntzrmtthihu777> google for restore mbr for windows 7
[09:33] <l057c0d3r> or maybe burn the iso for windows 7 to dvd and try installing that way
[09:34] <art1> quick noob question.  how do I mount my main drive to be able to view the files? (in windows would be my c: drive)
[09:34] <ntzrmtthihu777> l057c0d3r: good point, maybe the unetbootin "taints" win$ with grub
[09:34] <ntzrmtthihu777> art1: do you only have one drive?
[09:34] <lolzer> hi plz help me about creating a hotspot in my laptop.. it creates but no internet  connection on the other device
[09:34] <lolzer> im using 12.04
[09:35] <art1> only one internal
[09:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> lolzer: I fought tooth and nail with mine, never got it working.
[09:35] <l057c0d3r> ntzrmtthihu777, from my experience unetbootin messes up more then it works.
[09:35] <art1> my external is mounted, but not my internal
[09:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> art1: if you'r booted into that one then it is mounted... ahh
[09:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> just open a nautilus window, you should se it to the left
[09:36] <lolzer> ntzrmtthihu777, yeah .. nothing seems to work
[09:36] <l057c0d3r> art1 are you using wubi install
[09:36] <ntzrmtthihu777> l057c0d3r: yeah, unetbootin tends to fail hard
[09:36] <l057c0d3r> or do you have ubuntu installed on a separate partition on your main hdd
[09:36] <art1> not wubi...
[09:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> l057c0d3r: he said he had 2 drives, one win$ and one ubu
[09:37] <l057c0d3r> oh.. must have missed that part
[09:37] <huayra> I have an issue with my "/home" partition being too little, but I have plenty of space in my root "/" partition
[09:38] <l057c0d3r> yeah then like ntzrmtthihu777 said.. it should be listed in nautilus on the upper left part of the window..
[09:38] <ntzrmtthihu777> huayra: you would have to boot some live media and shrink / and grow /home
[09:38] <art1> no, It's a pure ubuntu 12.04 install... but I just installed it, been using windows forever so it's easier to compare to it
[09:38] <huayra> is there a way to change the size of a running system without ruining it?
[09:38] <huayra> :)
[09:38] <huayra> ntzrmtthihu777, ok, but it is possible ?
[09:38] <ntzrmtthihu777> its doable, i have done the opposite.
[09:38] <huayra> ok, I'll give it a go
[09:38] <huayra> thanks
[09:39] <ntzrmtthihu777> huayra: just know that it is all in your hands how it ends up
[09:39] <huayra> ntzrmtthihu777, I know, when you use GNU/Linux you get to keep all the broken parts
[09:39] <huayra> ;)
[09:40] <ntzrmtthihu777> !gnomeshell-default-linux
[09:40] <ntzrmtthihu777> huayra: huh?
[09:40] <ntzrmtthihu777> dang, ubottu does not know
[09:41] <huayra> ntzrmtthihu777, I know that there is a risk and I am willing to take it
[09:41] <ntzrmtthihu777> huayra: as long as you know that. I have done some of that lately, turned out well
[09:41] <l057c0d3r> as long as you don't take to much space from /  you should be fine
[09:41] <art1> ntzrmtthihu777: I get that it's already mounted, trying to get it to show up on the "start bar" on the left like my external drive does
[09:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> huayra: leave at least 16gb for safety
[09:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> art1: in the unity bar?
[09:42] <l057c0d3r> art1, that i cant help with.. i use gnome-shell
[09:42] <art1> ntzrmtthihu777: is that what it's called :)
[09:42] <Bray90820> ntzrmtthihu777 nope that didn't work ether
[09:42]  * ntzrmtthihu777 highfives l057c0d3r
[09:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> art1: the glassy rounded square icons to the left?
[09:43] <art1> ntzrmtthihu777: yup
[09:43] <Bray90820> what happend was when i selected ubuntu it attempted to load android but then failed and restated the computer
[09:43] <l057c0d3r> ntzrmtthihu777, don't get me wrong.. i replaced the overlay with bolt....
[09:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> yeah, that is your unity launcher, and like l057c0d3r I know little to nothing about it
[09:43] <Bray90820> so now i have to go into the directory and remove every file one by one
[09:43] <art1> l057c0d3r: haven't started messing with the themes yet... that's next :)
[09:43] <l057c0d3r> and have cairo-dock running
[09:44] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: Or just re-write your 40
[09:44] <l057c0d3r> art1, heh has nothing to do with themes.. you are using unity.. i dont have unity i have gnome shell.. different desktop environment
[09:44] <Bray90820> ntzrmtthihu777 no it is detecting ubuntu as android
[09:44] <ntzrmtthihu777> you did point it at the right partition and folder
[09:44] <ntzrmtthihu777> l057c0d3r: I got docky
[09:45] <art1> ok... see :)  I am still trying to learn all of this :)
[09:45] <Bray90820> ntzrmtthihu777 what do you mean
[09:45] <ntzrmtthihu777> art1: :D good
[09:45] <art1> and I know that there is no way for me to learn everything in the three days I've had ubuntu installed :)
[09:45] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: since you moved the android files into sda1 the grub file needs to point at hd0,1
[09:46] <Bray90820> yes
[09:46] <l057c0d3r> art1, it will be a process.. but myself i love nix
[09:46] <Bray90820> ntzrmtthihu777 but when i try to load ubuntu android attempts to load
[09:46] <l057c0d3r> ntzrmtthihu777, my desktop :-) http://uppix.net/e/b/9/0d522bce319e79b2ffff82e53a345.png
[09:46] <art1> I"ve already had to slick and reinstall... messing with things I have no business touching yet :)
[09:46] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: well dang.
[09:46] <l057c0d3r> probably didn't have to reinstall.. good thing about linux.. most everything is reversable
[09:47] <Bray90820> oh well
[09:47] <ntzrmtthihu777> xD I love it!
[09:47] <art1> I'm actually happy to be rid of Microsucks.... didn't realize how user friendly ubuntu could be :)
[09:47] <Bray90820> ntzrmtthihu777 i will just remove the android files and try something else
[09:47] <art1> I deleted my admin PW...
[09:47] <notyjoey> unless you're installing nvidia drivers
[09:47] <notyjoey> ;)
[09:47] <rjv-im> My Taskbar keeps on showing Warning Sign in Red, but system is updated..
[09:47] <ntzrmtthihu777> art1: I rather like what ubuntu has to offer
[09:47] <art1> and lost the grub menu somehow lol
[09:47] <Bray90820> As in the words of linus torvalds NVIDA FUCK YOU
[09:47] <ntzrmtthihu777> rjv-im: taskbar? this is not windows, explain
[09:48] <notyjoey> lol
[09:48] <IdleOne> !language | Bray90820
[09:48] <notyjoey> i got one of t hose laptops with the discreet nvidia card
[09:48] <ezhilvanan> Hi, How can i change the start-up screen of my ubuntu 12.10?  If i hover over the sign it says update information is outdated..
[09:50] <Bray90820> well live usb but yea
[09:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> Bray90820: not a clue, just do what you gotta
[09:50] <ezhilvanan> thanks for your reply.. I'm getting gnome screen as start-up screen before logging in..
[09:50] <Bray90820> ntzrmtthihu777 yeap :)
[09:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> rjv-im: sudo aptitude update
[09:50] <ezhilvanan> yes exactly
[09:50] <l057c0d3r> rjv-im, have you tried sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. then reboot?
[09:50] <rjv-im> then  i do : Check Updated and it says system is up to date.
[09:50] <rjv-im> ok..
[09:50] <rjv-im> i will
[09:51] <l057c0d3r> ezhilvanan, hold on one sec.... if you dont want to install a manager for the splash screen i can get you a term command to type that will allow you to change between splash screens you have installed
[09:51] <rjv-im> thanks a lot..
[09:51] <ezhilvanan> yep
[09:52] <ntzrmtthihu777> l057c0d3r: now what I would like is a way to use my webilder background changer with lightdm
[09:53] <l057c0d3r> heh yeah ntzrmtthihu777
[09:53] <l057c0d3r> k ezhilvanan type sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
[09:53] <l057c0d3r> select the splash screen you want from the list
[09:53] <l057c0d3r> then do sudo update-initramfs -u
[09:53] <ezhilvanan> wait a sec.. i'll try this cmd
[09:54] <l057c0d3r> after that when you reboot you should see the new splash screen / old one you wanted back
[09:54] <ntzrmtthihu777> ezhilvanan: gack! not win$ is this :P
[09:56] <ezhilvanan> i have to restart my system.. thanks a lot
[09:57] <l057c0d3r> thats what were here for :-p
[09:58] <crackerjackz> for some reason i can't kill firefox.. i ran pidof firefox and it returned a pidof 3754.. when i try killall firefox nothing happens.. when i try kill -9 3574 nothing happens? what can i do other than rebooting my computer to fix it?
[09:58] <ntzrmtthihu777> heh. I used to just come here to be helped, but as i noticed ppl asking questions I knew the answer too I started helping them instead, and now I hang out alot just to do that
[09:58] <ntzrmtthihu777> crackerjackz: alt+f2 xkill
[09:58] <ntzrmtthihu777> then click firefox
[09:59] <TakeItEZ> crackerjackz: pkill firefox or killall firefox-bin
[09:59] <l057c0d3r> ntzrmtthihu777, thats kind of how it went for me as well
[09:59] <crackerjackz> ntzrmtthihu777: i just accidentally killed the side bar thingy.. im using unity.. any idea on how to get it back?
[10:00] <ntzrmtthihu777> crackerjackz: lawl. you mean the launcher?
[10:00] <crackerjackz> ntzrmtthihu777: yah :)
[10:00] <ntzrmtthihu777> crackerjackz: not sure, lemme see
[10:00] <l057c0d3r> crackerjackz, log out and back in
[10:00] <l057c0d3r> heh
[10:00] <l057c0d3r> im sure there is a command you could type as well though
[10:01] <crackerjackz> l057c0d3r: is there a way for me to do it with out doing that.. usually every time i have a problem i reboot or log out and back in.. but i know there are ways around that.. i'd like to learn how
[10:01] <ntzrmtthihu777> unity-launcher
[10:01] <l057c0d3r> ^^^ type that in term
[10:02] <ntzrmtthihu777> no, do it in alt+f2, in a term you would likely have to keep it open
[10:02] <l057c0d3r> well unity-launcher &
[10:02] <l057c0d3r> then press enter and you can close the term
[10:03] <Bray90820> now i really screwed things up oh well
[10:03] <ezhilvanan> l057c0d3r : i selected --->  * 2            /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth               100       manual mode
[10:03] <Bray90820> i think it's time for a fresh install
[10:04] <Makaor> hello friends
[10:04] <Makaor> ubuntu is hard to use
[10:04] <ntzrmtthihu777> Makaor: if you say so
[10:04] <l057c0d3r> ezhilvanan, didn't work
[10:04] <ezhilvanan> Now i can see the ubuntu default screen while shutdown but startup same gnome screen only.. what i have to do now?
[10:04] <l057c0d3r> try 0 or 1
[10:05] <l057c0d3r> which ever of them two are not gnome
[10:05] <Makaor> ntzrmtthihu777, all the commands etc
[10:05] <ntzrmtthihu777> Makaor: if you think ubuntu is hard try archlinux
[10:06] <Makaor> ntzrmtthihu777, why?
[10:06] <l057c0d3r> and u did the sudo update-initramfs -u right
[10:06] <l057c0d3r> ntzrmtthihu777, or gentoo
[10:07] <ntzrmtthihu777> l057c0d3r: never tried it, whazzit like?
[10:07] <l057c0d3r> i have a system running gentoo with fluxbox / lxde
[10:07] <l057c0d3r> its nice.. takes forever to get going
[10:07] <l057c0d3r> builds everything from source
[10:07] <ezhilvanan> l057c0d3r : Now i can see the ubuntu default screen while shutdown but startup same gnome screen only.. what i have to do now?
[10:07] <l057c0d3r> has slightly better speeds then ubuntu.. but ubuntu is my fav now
[10:08] <ntzrmtthihu777> l057c0d3r: interesting. I rather like ubuntu and its spinoffs.
[10:08] <l057c0d3r> ezhilvanan, do the sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth again.. and select 0 or 1 from that last.. which ever is not the gnome one
[10:08] <l057c0d3r> then do sudo update-initramfs -u
[10:08] <l057c0d3r> and reboot again see if that helps
[10:08] <ezhilvanan> l057c0d3r: okay
[10:08] <l057c0d3r> the manual one you selected gives issues some times
[10:09] <crackerjackz> hey sorry i had to reboot
[10:09] <crackerjackz> unity-launcher wouldn't work said the command didn't exist.. but i typed unit then pressed tab and a bunch of unity stuff came up
[10:09] <l057c0d3r> ntzrmtthihu777, the speedup comes from everything being built and optimized for the system its running on...
[10:10] <l057c0d3r> but updates take forever
[10:10] <l057c0d3r> :-p
[10:10] <l057c0d3r> and emerge  just isnt as easy as apt-get
[10:10] <crackerjackz> one of the things that came up was unity2d-panel and unity-shell i tried running those but no luck.. then i tried running just plain "unity" and my whole desktop got angry at me
[10:10] <l057c0d3r> have use flags..  among other things you have to add / change ext
[10:10] <ntzrmtthihu777> you know, I had an interesting setup with lightdm at one point. I had accidentally set root nautilus, and it set the background I had intended to set up as mine became roots, and I set mine again and fixed it.
[10:11] <crackerjackz> how do i get rid of unity?
[10:11] <crackerjackz> i want to use lxde
[10:11] <l057c0d3r> ntzrmtthihu777, i went into /usr/source/gnome-shell/theme and changed the .css file and the noisy***.png file...
[10:11] <ntzrmtthihu777> then I later changed my background but not roots, and ended up enabling full root logon as an experiment, when I selected root for login it would change to the root background
[10:11] <l057c0d3r> and fully customized my gdm login screen
[10:12] <ntzrmtthihu777> crackerjackz: install lxde, logout and back in under lxde, then a careful selecion of apt-get purge will get rid of it
[10:12] <dr_willis> id leave unity  installed..  just in case
[10:12] <l057c0d3r> also went in and replaced the blinds in /usr/share/backgrounds/gnome... that way i had the same image displayed all the time in gdm
[10:12] <dr_willis> just install and use lxde/lubuntu
[10:12] <ryorky1> when my system/computer suspends, it just comes up to a flickering screen.  I end up having to reboot.  I am on ubuntu 12.0.4 and have a hp pavillion dv6.  Any ideas how to fix this or what could be causing the problem?
[10:12] <crackerjackz> ntzrmtthihu777: so just run apt-get purge and answer what ever questions it throws at me while logged in under lxde?
[10:13] <chronicle> hi to you all
 could you please show mw because i see a lot of channels
 i am new to ubuntu
 i have been trying to understand how the OS file structure works
[10:13] <FloodBot1> chronicle: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
 but i want to know more about the UBUNTU LINUX OS functionality
 and how to play around with it
[10:13] <dr_willis> !fsh
[10:13] <dr_willis> Theres a Linux File System Hiarcary web site.. somewhere. ;)
[10:13] <chronicle> sorry i didnt realise
[10:13] <crackerjackz> chronicle: read about filesystem hierarchy
[10:13] <crackerjackz> arrh not file system
[10:13] <dr_willis> tells what most of the  filesystem dirs and stuff does.
[10:14] <ntzrmtthihu777> crackerjackz: the syntax is apt-get purge packagename
[10:14] <crackerjackz> hang on ill send you an article
[10:14] <dr_willis> I think the  freedesktop.org site has some articals also on the  topic
[10:14] <crackerjackz> ntzrmtthihu777: okay thank you that makes sense now :0
[10:14] <crackerjackz> :) *
[10:14] <ryorky1> dr_willis:  any ideas?  ^^
[10:14] <ntzrmtthihu777> ryorky1: how much swap and ram do you have
[10:14] <dr_willis> ryorky1:  i dont use hibernate or suspend.. many drivers and hardware dont work well with iot.
[10:15] <ryorky1> no swap, but 8 gigs of ram
[10:15] <dr_willis> ryorky1:  you do want swap = ram+some more for the feature to work properly
[10:15] <Makaor> hey
[10:15] <Makaor> I AM BACK
[10:15] <l057c0d3r> dr_willis, heh hibernate and suspend work great on my system.. however lock with gnomescreensaver puts my system into a coma.
[10:15] <ntzrmtthihu777> ryorky1: there is your problem. hybernate and suspend need a bit more gb than ram
[10:15] <crackerjackz> chronicle: read this.. this will help you understand a lot of what you are trying to understand http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy.html
[10:15] <ryorky1> dr_willis:  how can I add more swap without reformatting or losing files?
[10:15] <dr_willis> ryorky1:  make a swap partition
[10:15] <chronicle> thanks crackerjacks!
[10:16] <dr_willis> a swap file wont work.
[10:16] <leshaste> can anyone get the "play" button to work at http://www.xeno-canto.org/123835 ?
[10:16] <ntzrmtthihu777> ryorky1: boot a live cd/usb, use gparted to carefully shrink off 8gb and add an 8gb swap
[10:16] <ryorky1> k, will do
[10:16] <rypervenche> chronicle: Type "man hier" in your terminal.
[10:16] <crackerjackz> brb gonna log in to lxde
[10:16] <ryorky1> tnx guys
[10:17] <ntzrmtthihu777> leshaste: works fine for me
[10:17] <chronicle> ok rypwrveche
[10:17] <we6jbo> hi
[10:17] <leshaste> ntzrmtthihu777, which browser?
[10:17] <ntzrmtthihu777> firefox
[10:17] <iceroot> leshaste: working fine here too
[10:18] <leshaste> iceroot, browser?
[10:18] <iceroot> leshaste: ff
[10:18] <leshaste> ok it works fine in ff
[10:18] <iceroot> leshaste: not working on chromium
[10:18] <leshaste> I can't get it to work in chromium
[10:19] <leshaste> iceroot, snap!!
[10:19] <iceroot> leshaste: same here
[10:19] <crackerjackz> who was it that gave me that apt-get purge <packagename> command again?
[10:19] <ntzrmtthihu777> crackerjackz: me
[10:19] <crackerjackz> ntzrmtthihu777: so do i have to do that with every package that has to do with unity or can i just run apt-get purge unity and it will completely remove it?
[10:20] <leshaste> iceroot, hmm.. I wonder if it is worth reporting
[10:20] <chronicle> that is a lot to read friend thank you
[10:20] <iceroot> leshaste: on there website, yes. a bug against chromium, no
[10:20] <chronicle> one more question
[10:20] <ntzrmtthihu777> crackerjackz: not sure, I did each individually. you can do purge unity unity-2d-shell etc, more than one at a time. typing unity then tabbing 2x will list all of the packages.
[10:20] <chronicle> what is the difference in architecture between linux and windows
[10:21] <Laiquendi> wow...
[10:21] <leshaste> iceroot, why is that?
[10:21] <crackerjackz> ntzrmtthihu777: how do i figure how how many packages have to do with unity?
[10:21] <iceroot> !purekde | crackerjackz
[10:21] <chronicle> is there any article for starters to read throught?
[10:21] <leshaste> iceroot, I mean why isn't it a bug?
[10:21] <ntzrmtthihu777> crackerjackz: keep unity-greeter though, that's purdy
[10:21] <iceroot> crackerjackz: use the remove part (not the sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop part) if you want to remove unity (ubuntu-desktop)
[10:21] <Laiquendi> chronicle: search for what is linux, maybe some UNIX definition
[10:21] <iceroot> leshaste: maybe wrong html5 coding
[10:22] <Laiquendi> chronicle: wikipedia have a lot of stuff :P
[10:22] <crackerjackz> iceroot: thank you.. and ntzrmtthihu777 what is unity-greeter?
[10:22] <leshaste> iceroot, oh well... also maybe not in that case :)
[10:22] <ntzrmtthihu777> iceroot: likely, different browsers support different aspects of it
[10:22] <iceroot> leshaste: then i would suggest a bug against chromium
[10:22] <chronicle> hahahaha.... it does go like this
[10:22] <ntzrmtthihu777> crackerjackz: part of that purdy login screen
[10:22] <chronicle> so i presume that you are advanced here all of you
[10:22] <Laiquendi> chronicle: nope :P
[10:22]  * ntzrmtthihu777 is a noob
[10:22] <chronicle> you can program as well i presume...
[10:23] <chronicle> :P
[10:23] <leshaste> iceroot, ah! It's an mp3 issue
[10:23] <ezhilvanan> l057c0d3r : I followed all the steps .. It is displayed whilst shutting down, but not whilst starting up?!
[10:24] <l057c0d3r> odd
[10:24] <Laiquendi> chrome: of course, we gather here to take over the world of geeks :P
[10:24] <ntzrmtthihu777> leshaste: oh wow, they used the html5 to embed an mp3 not a flash thingus
[10:24] <crackerjackz> iceroot: why would it get rid of brasero? i didn't know that was a part of gnome
[10:24] <Laiquendi> *chronicle
[10:24] <leshaste> ntzrmtthihu777, it needs this stuff http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/get-chromium-on-ubuntu-to-play-mp4-h-264-mp3-view-pdf-files-natively
[10:24] <iceroot> crackerjackz: it is part of ubuntu-desktop which is the metapackage for the complete gui
[10:24] <chronicle> yes Laiquendi
[10:24] <ntzrmtthihu777> crackerjackz: that's why I suggested a careful targeted remove of unity-named packages
[10:25] <l057c0d3r> sorry ezhilvanan that is how i changed it on mine.. and it works..  might want to look into super boot manager...
[10:25] <iceroot> crackerjackz: i thought you want complety remove the gui
[10:25] <l057c0d3r> there is a ppa you can add and after that and an apt-get update you can apt-get install sbm
[10:25] <Laiquendi> chroncle: if you wanna educate in linux there are lots/tons of good articles
[10:25] <leshaste> iceroot, works now!
[10:25] <ntzrmtthihu777> iceroot: hell no, he wanted to get rid of unity in favor of lxde
[10:25] <ezhilvanan> l057c0d3r : thank you very much.. Cool..
[10:26] <dr_willis> id  suggest just sleecting lxde at the login screen and leaveing unity alone.
[10:26] <iceroot> crackerjackz: you want lxde instead of unity?
[10:26] <iceroot> !purelxde | crackerjackz
[10:26] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis, always the pacefist
[10:26] <dr_willis> safe-ist
[10:26] <ntzrmtthihu777> iceroot: doing that gets rid of some gnome stuff he still wants
[10:26] <iceroot> crackerjackz: its the same remove command and at the end "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop"
[10:27] <dr_willis> ive seen numerous people trash things or get stuck when getting overzelous in removeing things
[10:27] <dr_willis> and be sure auto-login is disabled when doing this stuff.. ;)
[10:27] <iceroot> dr_willis: that is always the risk when using a remove-command
[10:28] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: true. I scragged up once, lost power to my 'top during an upgrade. got back into the desktop after a helluva long time of trying and then ran update again.
[10:28] <dr_willis> and i suggest installing some failsafe window managet just in case.. like jwm
[10:28] <crackerjackz> dr_willis: how do i make sure autologin is disabled?
[10:28] <rypervenche> chronicle: Check the private message I sent you.
[10:28] <dr_willis> crackerjackz:  does it auto login when you  boot up?
[10:28] <ntzrmtthihu777> to my dismay over 300 packages were removed and I lost 1gb of files
[10:28] <crackerjackz> dr_willis: nope.. it prompts me for a pssword
[10:28] <dr_willis> then its disa  bled. :0
[10:29] <dr_willis> sene several people in here with auitologin enabled.. remove unity... then the desktop gets very confused...
[10:29] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: fortuneatly it was a new-borne installation, so i just went ahead and re-installed again, lol
[10:29] <dr_willis> install whatever it is you want to run.. be SURE its working right first.. then if you  really really  feel lucky, remove the other desktops
[10:29] <dr_willis> and i always install jwm  just in case...
[10:30] <ntzrmtthihu777> jwm?
[10:30] <dr_willis> !info jwm
[10:30] <dr_willis> about the smallest window manager i know of.
[10:30] <ntzrmtthihu777> interesting, a bombshelter de eh?
[10:30] <dr_willis> any tinier ones tend to be missing features i consider needed
[10:30] <dr_willis> and i really cant think of any tinyier ones.
[10:30] <iceroot> dr_willis: the smallest window manager is screen :)
[10:30] <ntzrmtthihu777> for when all hell breaks loose
[10:31] <zAo^> lol @ ice799
[10:31] <zAo^> iceroot ^^
[10:31] <ntzrmtthihu777> iceroot: <3 @ screen
[10:31] <Bray90820> ntzrmtthihu777 what was that thing to reinstall grub
[10:31] <ntzrmtthihu777> boot-repair
[10:31] <dr_willis> !info tmux
[10:31] <dr_willis> !info screen
[10:31] <dr_willis> looks like tmux is smaller then screen. ;)
[10:32] <ntzrmtthihu777> I use irssi in screen all the time, detatch and reattach later :D
[10:32] <dr_willis> both are bigger then jwm
[10:32] <iceroot> dr_willis: just because the manpage is smaller :)
[10:32] <zAo^> Bray90820, http://askubuntu.com/questions/83037/how-do-i-reinstall-grub2
[10:32] <ntzrmtthihu777> can you force an open terminal session into a screen?
[10:32] <iceroot> ntzrmtthihu777: no
[10:33] <crackerjackz> iceroot it says the following packages have unmet dependencies default-jre : Depends: openjdk-6-jre (>= 6b23~pre11-1ubuntu1~) but it is not going to be installed
[10:33] <dr_willis> ntzrmtthihu777:  you mean a X display? or a console?
[10:33] <Bray90820> thank you
[10:33] <crackerjackz> E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[10:33] <ntzrmtthihu777> I mean like I have irssi open in gnome-terminal right now
[10:33] <ntzrmtthihu777> can I crowbar that into a screen
[10:33] <dr_willis> you can run screen in gnome-terminal
[10:33] <iceroot> ntzrmtthihu777: no not after irssi is started
[10:33] <dr_willis> then you can  screen in from  some other terminal
[10:33] <ntzrmtthihu777> yeah, but thats not what I mean
[10:34] <ntzrmtthihu777> iceroot: ok, just a thought.
[10:34] <iceroot> ntzrmtthihu777: you cant put a running shell into a new screen session
[10:34] <Oris_> does anyone know why i might be having issues with "apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev?" I'm getting unmet dependencies "libpcre3-dev: Depends: libpcre3 (= 7.8-3build1) but 8.12-3ubuntu2 is to be installed" I'd really appreciate some insight.
[10:34] <ryorky1> just removed 10 gigs of ext4 hard drive space and added 10 gigs of linux-swap partition file space, but the system is still flickers when resuming from suspend.  any other ideas?
[10:35] <zAo^> 10Gigs!? tfaq
[10:35] <somsip> ntzrmtthihu777: try this http://superuser.com/questions/28568/screen-a-running-process
[10:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> I'm trying to create a .desktop launcher for irssi that will gnome-terminal -e 'screen -r $existing-screen' || gnome-terminal -e 'screen'
[10:35] <ryorky1> dr_willis:^^
[10:36] <ntzrmtthihu777> ryorky1: you have to add it to your fstab
[10:36] <dr_willis> you did add a proper swap entry in the fstab?
[10:36] <dr_willis> !swap
[10:36] <l057c0d3r> hmm
[10:36] <ryorky1> ntzrmtthihu777:  how do I do that?
[10:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> zAo^: he has 8gb of ram and wants to be able to suspend right
[10:37] <l057c0d3r> r
[10:37]  * dr_willis points to the swap faq mentioned  above
[10:37] <dr_willis> !fstab
[10:37] <zAo^> ntzrmtthihu777, k. Still; 9gb should do?
[10:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> ryorky1: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and make the changes noted in these links ^^
[10:37] <ntzrmtthihu777> zAo^: perhaps he is ocd and likes round numbers
[10:37] <marcs1989> Hello. I was going through auth.log after some suspicious stuff and I did a search for fail. I saw a few instances of this: http://pastebin.com/Nw51Bgw9 This is really concerning :(. I ran rkhunter, and I got nothing that didn't turn out to be a false positive. Can anyone help? (if that paste gives away some sensitive information, please don't hack me. I'm trusting you guys.)
[10:38] <ntzrmtthihu777> marcs1989: fan of shadowrun are you?
[10:39] <marcs1989> ntzrmtthihu777 Gibson, actually :)
[10:39]  * ntzrmtthihu777 laughs at coming into linux channel worried about 1337 hax0rz
[10:39] <ntzrmtthihu777> marcs1989: talking about they cyberdeck of doom
[10:39] <ntzrmtthihu777> are you vexx?
[10:40] <zAo^> marcs1989, looks like a samba user
[10:40] <marcs1989> ntzrmtthihu777 Yes, I am Vexx. That's my standard user profile that I use for daily usage.
[10:40] <l057c0d3r> sorry if i flooded chat
[10:40] <l057c0d3r> opened lifera
[10:40] <vmachine1> if i run a linux script with  >/dev/null 2>&1 what does this do
[10:40] <zAo^> any windows clients that use smb to your machine?
[10:40] <l057c0d3r> closed it.. opened it again
[10:41] <l057c0d3r> and it froze up my gnome-shell session
[10:41] <marcs1989> zAo^ I don't even know what samba is, so I'm guessing that there should not be.
[10:41] <crackerjackz> okay i think i got rid of unity with out breaking things using this guide.. http://blogs.operationaldynamics.com/paul/opensource/not-unified-removing-unity-from-ubuntu-12-04-lts but i don't feel like logging out right now so imma just chill with you guys and answer some questions
[10:41] <l057c0d3r> but after waiting for the countdown from ctl-alt-backspace.. it logged me out and back in all good now :-p  wonder what happened
[10:41] <zAo^> marcs1989, ¨Windows Network File Shares¨
[10:42] <ztane> pam_winbind in su, that looks so wrong to me
[10:42] <dr_willis> many home media players can access samba/windows shares - and often show  up in my  logs ive noticed
[10:42] <Oris_> If someone would be so kind, I'd really appreciate some insight. I'm getting unmet dependencies "libpcre3-dev: Depends: libpcre3 (= 7.8-3build1) but 8.12-3ubuntu2 is to be installed." (lucid)
[10:42] <zAo^> vmachine1, It sends all the output of the script to /dev/null (thus, you wont see a thing)
[10:42] <dr_willis> bbl
[10:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> jeeze whassup with all the lucid? death throes, maybe?
[10:43] <zAo^> Oris_, what are you trying to install?
[10:43] <marcs1989> zAo^ Yes, there are some windows machines on my network. Mind you, I was cracked recently so I'm a little extra paranoid, but I used a disk made on a different computer to reinstall Ubuntu just to be sure.
[10:43] <ztane> Oris_: try apt-get update and see if there are failures
[10:43] <Oris_> nginx with upload progress, but i got pcre errors on ./configuration which lead me to try installing libpcre3
[10:43] <ryorky1> ntzrmtthihu777:  having some trouble figuring out what the links are saying exactly, can you give me a little more step by step on how to do it?
[10:44] <zAo^> marcs1989, goog thinking. As far as I can see from the log; its just mediaplayers/windows explorer/windows user trying to log on to samba
[10:45] <ntzrmtthihu777> ryorky1: its easy enout. do you know what device the swap is on? /dev/sda* ?
[10:46] <marcs1989> zAo^ Thank you! I was starting to think it was someone in my local area trying to get in. I've had some weird issues like massive memory usage and just now I heard a really strange noise play that sounded like a warning (right before I started checking my auth.log).
[10:47] <zAo^> marcs1989, Hmm. What does ´last´ say?
[10:47] <ryorky1> not 100% sure
[10:47] <Oris_> apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev is what returned the unmet dependencies
[10:47] <ntzrmtthihu777> run gparted, (install it if you don't have it, its nifty) and we can check therr
[10:48] <marcs1989> zAo^ reboots and my own user names.
[10:49] <zAo^> marcs1989, no weird times?
[10:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> ryorky1: I'm gonna go to slep at the hour, so we should hurry and get this done :D
[10:50] <marcs1989> zAo^ Ummm... some of these are from when I was at work. O.O
[10:51] <zAo^> marcs1989, I´d change my password and reboot, just to be sure.
[10:51] <marcs1989> zAo^ Some of them say 'crash'
[10:51] <zAo^> marcs1989, crash?
[10:51] <ntzrmtthihu777> anyone know how to use remmina
[10:51] <marcs1989> zAo^ Do you want me to paste up a log?
[10:52] <lavolanta> hello everyone, i need some help with apache2 configuration for permissions, im getting a 403 forbidden error and page is not loading
[10:52] <zAo^> marcs1989, it may help :)
  It is on sda6 and here is a link to the file brought up by the command u ave me:  http://pastie.org/6410804
[10:53] <ryorky1> what do I need to do?  feel free to modify the file
[10:53] <ntzrmtthihu777> ryorky1: sudo blkid /dev/sda6
[10:54] <ryorky1> k, 1 sec
[10:55] <ryorky1> <ntzrmtthihu777:  how can I check to make sure it mounted properly?
[10:55] <ntzrmtthihu777> you mean if its swapping?
[10:55] <dcrochet> hum: question : how to say to unity to not make this : When more one windows of a same programe exist, do not make zoom out when I click for the second time in the button side. My ubuntu make freeze and the only way to work is a "sudo reboot". Thanks for your help. I can use the Compiz-config program that i've installed
  yep
[10:56] <ntzrmtthihu777> check gnome-system-monitor and the resources tab
[10:56] <ntzrmtthihu777> did you do the blkid?
  still says not available
[10:57] <ntzrmtthihu777> then its not sda6 or its swapping. do you have gparted?
  do I have to restart before I can see the change?
[10:58] <ntzrmtthihu777> likely
[10:58] <theodor> hello to all
[10:58] <theodor> quick question: any idea how to install the sound drivers ?
  k, be back in a sec
[10:59] <ntzrmtthihu777> theodor: there are a million soundcards with 2 million drivers, be specific
[10:59] <zetheroo> installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 onto one of our KVM host servers but it does not seem to be able to ping any other machines on our domain ... the Debian machines did not have this issue so it would seem that something needs to be setup on this one system - any ideas what?
[11:00] <ntzrmtthihu777> someone pick up on ryorky, I gotta sleep
[11:00] <zetheroo> I can ping IP's on the network but cannot ping any hostnames
[11:01]  * ntzrmtthihu777 laters
[11:01] <theodor> I am using Ubuntu 12.10, I think I have VIA HD (motherboard gigabyte ga 970a ud3)
[11:01] <ryorky1> ntzrmtthihu777>:  swap still unavailable, but the swap files are on dev/sda6
[11:02] <ryorky1> any other ideas?
[11:02] <IzzoDizzo> ryorky1, is t a sep partition for swapping? or a file
  it's a partition
[11:03] <ryorky1> I hacked it off of my linux partition
[11:03] <zAo^> ryorky1, did you issue ´swapon´ (or mount -a)?
  nope, how would I do that?
[11:05] <theodor> http://www.via.com.tw/en/support/drivers.jsp
[11:05] <theodor> I cannot find nothing here
[11:05] <zAo^> ryorky1, you added the swap partition to /etc/fstab right?
[11:05] <theodor> so anyone else having problems with installign sound drivers ?
 I guess so, I fdid the following:  sudo blkid /dev/sda6
[11:06] <ryorky1> is that correct?
[11:07] <ryorky1> I'm new to this, LOL, as if it isn't obvious
[11:08] <zAo^> ryorky1, add ¨/dev/sdaX none swap sw 0 0¨ to /etc/fstab (with the correct disk/partition!!)
[11:09] <wayne__> How do I update clamtk
[11:09] <lhavelund> is it possible to paginate between an application's open windows in Unity, seeing as alt-tab only tabs between different conversations?
[11:10] <jrib> lhavelund: I think there is such a shortcut though I don't use unity and can't recall it.  Is it listed in the shortcut list when you hold down your super key?
[11:12] <ryorky1> zAo^:  here is what that file currently has:  # swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
[11:12] <ryorky1> UUID=8c7681e7-3992-451e-b145-0278c9d9471a none            swap    sw              0       0
[11:12] <Gyhy> Hi
[11:13] <jrib> lhavelund: alt-` maybe
  does that look right?  what else do I need to do to activate/mount it?
[11:13] <Gyhy> I have bought a Lenovo B570e and I want to dual boot Win7 & Ubuntu, but I've read that there is a boot problem related to UEFI
[11:13] <lhavelund> jrib: Not as far as I can tell.
[11:13] <auronandace> !uefi | Gyhy
[11:13] <jrib> lhavelund: what ubuntu version?
[11:13] <Gyhy> How do I know if my laptop has a UEFI?
[11:14] <lhavelund> jrib: 12.10.
[11:14] <theodor> ok, so the audio device is recognized
[11:14] <theodor> did a $  lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"
[11:14] <theodor> the problem still, nothing can be heard
[11:15] <Gyhy> Is there a possibility of corrupting my current Windows 7 Installation if I just install Ubuntu as I used to???
[11:15] <jrib> lhavelund: alt-` (or whatever key is above the tab key on your keyboard) should switch between windows of a single application according to what I'm seeing in google.  Here's even a video demonstrating it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHFNnygpvcM&lr=1 What's happening when you press it?
[11:16] <lhavelund> jrib: That does do the trick. Thanks! I haven't used Ubuntu since Gnome2 was the bee's knees. :)
[11:17] <theodor> ok it worked
[11:17] <theodor> finally !
[11:17] <Gyhy> Is it safe to simply install Ubuntu and see what happens?? or it is possible to lose my Windows 7?
[11:17] <theodor> the solution was simple, I put the headphones jack in the right place.
[11:17] <jony> I want to set mysql database path to my mounted windows partition location
[11:18] <jrib> Gyhy: whether or not you install ubuntu, you should have backups.  But you can try ubuntu straight from the cd and if you like it, you can install it and your windows should stick around as long as you don't tell the installer to use the whole disk
[11:19] <jony> how can I change in mysql database location to my wamp's mysql database location?
[11:19] <Gyhy> isn't it possible that Grub might prevent Win7 from booting normally?
[11:19] <theodor> hmm 1080p works a bit freezy, (using Firefox, watching 1080p youtube video)
[11:19] <jrib> Gyhy: I've seen people in here booting win 7 and ubuntu from grub with no problem
[11:20] <Gyhy> Even with UEFI?
[11:20] <Gyhy> or in fact the possibility of having a UEFI?
[11:20] <jrib> Gyhy: I believe so
[11:20] <natosha> I have a really weird problem.  I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 side-by-side with Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro (retina model).  All seems to work fine, except when I try to boot normally, it freezes after "Loading initial ramdisk . . .".  If I boot into recovery mode, then from there swtich to normal boot, it boots fine.  I'm not sure what to look for . . .
[11:20] <jrib> Gyhy: I think people end up having to disable secure boot though if you're using that.  I'm not familiar with it; I'm just relaying what I've seen in this channel
[11:21] <natosha> I am booting with rEFIt (followed install instructions here: http://cberner.com/2012/10/19/installing-ubuntu-12-10-on-macbook-pro-retina/)
[11:22] <Gyhy> Aha, so is it mandatory to have x64?
[11:23] <astalavista12> -who
[11:23] <jrib> !uefi | Gyhy
[11:23] <astalavista12> Hi everyone
[11:23] <crackerjackz> hello astalavista12
[11:24] <astalavista12> I have a problem when starting Ubuntu(version 10.04). I get to the Desktop where the background, icons and an empty document viewer are visible. However all the panels are greyed out and the computer does not respond to any mouse clicks. Ubuntu worked great for several months and the problem seemed to appear when my laptop shut down after the battery ran out of power. I tried to start in the different recovery modes from the sta
[11:24] <astalavista12> any ideas_
[11:24] <zetheroo> in order to mount nfs shares in Ubuntu do you have to install nfs-common?
[11:25] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: are all of your packages up to date?
[11:25] <astalavista12> I guess so
[11:25] <Gyhy> I'll check my BIOS settings to see if there are some stuff to disable,, [sudo reboot]!
[11:25] <astalavista12> the problem is that I cannot see that
[11:25] <Oris_> Ztane, sorry, I missed your message earlier. I tried apt-get update, I do get some 404s on apt-get update. http://pastebin.com/pWAGMqiX
[11:26] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: are open up the update manager
[11:26] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: what desktop enviornment are you using?
[11:26] <astalavista12> cracker: I cannot open any thing, all panels are greyed out, I can only see the desktop and the icons on it
[11:27] <astalavista12> I think I am using Gnome
[11:27] <ztane> Oris_: surely you shouldnt have any nattys there anymore, as support for it has been dropped....
[11:27] <Guest66530> gsfuysgfy
[11:27] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: press ctrl + alt + f2 to get to a terminal
[11:27] <ztane> Oris_: and how come you have two distros mixed up there confusingly :D
[11:28] <crackerjackz> and then... run sudo apt-get update
[11:28] <astalavista12> cracker: all right. do I need root pw?
[11:28] <ztane> Oris_: you probably have installed the natty pcre-binary already... and
[11:29] <ztane> Oris_: of course bc natty is already unsupported it cannot find the matching dev-package
[11:29] <Oris_> honestly, i'm way out of my realm here...i only started messing with my sources when i started trying to install nginx with the upload progress module....i tried some ppa and other sources suggested by others, but i don't really know
[11:29] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: yeah you'll need root for what im going to have you end up doing
[11:29] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: is this your computer?
[11:30] <ztane> Oris_: the thing is at some point you have mixed 10.10 urls in the sources.list
[11:30] <ztane> Oris_: but support for 10.10 has been dropped already... :S
[11:30] <astalavista12> cracker: yes it is my computer, the only problem is that I am not able to login as root. Any way I can retrieve the pw?
[11:30] <jman074> so i have two pictures of my kids. how do i put different pictures on the other desktops
[11:31] <Oris_> i thought those were there already, i didn't add natty myself, but i did have someone else working on this server a long time ago who may have
[11:31] <ztane> yes
[11:31] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: yes.. you'll have to boot from a live cd and chroot into your ubuntu install and then run the passwd command for your user from the terminal
[11:31] <ztane> Oris_: that is the problem :D
[11:31] <ztane> Oris_: "someone else 'working'" on the server but not maintaining
[11:31] <Oris_> so, just remove the references to natty distros?
[11:32] <ztane> Oris_: but it does not help anything yet ... as you have some natty pkgs installed already....
[11:33] <astalavista12> cracker: all right. How do I chroot into my ubuntu install?
[11:33] <ztane> Oris_: i think your system is like a chimera of natty and lucid, fancy.
[11:33] <Oris_> i had some help setting the server up in the beginning...i've tried to keep up, but I have plenty to learn still
[11:34] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: are you running a 32 bit or 64 bit version of ubuntu?
[11:34] <Oris_> what do you suggest?
[11:34] <bentinata> Anyone know GitHub?
[11:34] <jman074>  i got a ? anyone got an answer
[11:34] <ztane> a) you perhaps should not have ever touched natty as support for it was dropped in 2 yrs
[11:35] <bentinata> How can I add new folder to my repo?
[11:35] <ztane> b) suggest you join #ubuntu-server ;)
[11:35] <astalavista12> cracker: its the 32 bit
[11:36] <ztane> Oris_: what is running on this server
[11:36] <jman074> anyone?
[11:36] <Oris_> everything i've done has been for lucid... i didn't realize it was pulling updates from natty until now.
[11:36] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: do you have a 32 bit version of ubuntu burned to a CD?
[11:37] <Oris_> the server is running 10.04, nginx 1.2.7, for drupal mostly
[11:37] <astalavista12> cracker: yes I do and I can run the trial option from the CD
[11:37] <ztane> Oris_: i am not sure how critical, if not THAT critical i'd try do release upgrade to 12.04
[11:38] <ztane> or try have the natty packages downgraded to lucid
[11:38] <DJones> jman074: Looks like nobody knows the answer at the minute (or they've not seen your question), I'd suggest repeating it about 10-15 minute intervals to give the users in the channel chance to join/leave & change
[11:38] <ztane> I do not know how to do the downgrade, anyone?
[11:39] <jman074> roger
[11:39] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: i have a better idea...
[11:39] <eric_> hiya
[11:39] <astalavista12> crack: sounds great!
[11:40] <ztane> Oris_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto
[11:40] <Oris_> thanks, i'll check that out.
[11:40] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: when you turn your computer on and the grub menu comes up.. do you see an option for recovery mode?
[11:42] <jman074> how do i install ubuntu on my windows 7 computer
[11:42] <crackerjackz> jman074: there are a few ways to go about it
[11:42] <maveas> ubottu: how to install ubuntu beside windows 7
[11:42] <crackerjackz> jman074: would you like to keep win 7 on your computer?
[11:42] <astalavista12> cracker: I am getting a startup menu where I can choose between different ubunu kernel versions and their corresponding recovery modes plus windows, but no matter what I choose the result is still the same
[11:42] <maveas> ubottu: windows 7
[11:43] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: okay that's good
[11:43] <dr_willis> maveas:  boot the live cd or usb - and follow the install directions
[11:43] <eric_> dual boot
[11:43] <dr_willis> !install | maveas
[11:43] <dr_willis> maveas:  ubottu  is a channel robot.
[11:43] <jman074> i used the windows friendly installer and it did the install and now at the boot screen it asks if i want to run ubuntu or windows but when i choose ubuntu it just takes me bck to that screen
[11:43] <maveas> dr_willis: I know. It wasn't for me but jman074  ;)
[11:44] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: choose recovery mode... then a menu will come up... choose "drop to root shell prompt"
[11:44] <crackerjackz> what is your username?
[11:45] <crackerjackz> jman074: do you want to keep windows and also use ubuntu or do you want to do away with windows all together and just install ubuntu?
[11:45] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: what is your username?
[11:45] <crackerjackz> for the computer you want to change the password on
[11:47] <astalavista12> cracker: username Term
[11:47] <astalavista12> cracker: however it does not recognize my password
[11:48] <astalavista12> cracker: I never used root pw before. Is this the same as the one used as a confirmation when installling programs?
[11:49] <dr_willis> theres no root password by default. your initial user is the admin. and sudo wants their password.
[11:49] <dr_willis> and usernames i think are not case senesertive.. but passwords are. ;)
[11:54] <SBwml> greetings
[11:55] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:55] <SBwml> hi
[11:55] <jony> how can I change in mysql database location to my wamp's mysql database location?
[11:57] <Touhou11> jony: Edit mysql.conf, though personally I'd just migrate the databases
[11:58] <zAo^> dr_willis, usernames are casesensitive
[11:59] <Touhou11> Linux filesystem is case-sensitive, unlike OS X and Windows
[11:59] <jony> Touhou11,  please tell me the default path for data in my.cnf
[11:59] <dr_willis> zAo^:  cant say ive ever tried. ;) then again.. i rember the installer bug from ages back that let people make a user named 'root'
[12:00] <iDrofox> hello, i have 3gb ram in my computer in two different slots but ubuntu only detect 2gb ?
[12:00] <zAo^> dr_jesus, lol; with uid 1000?
[12:00] <dr_willis> zAo^:  yea - i cant rember the details.. but there was a supriseing # of people that used root as their username
[12:01] <dr_willis> case senesetive user names - seem also.. a bit.. weird. ;)
[12:01] <zAo^> yeah
[12:02] <dr_willis> sucks when your capslock is on by mistake when you enter your info. ;)
[12:02] <LadyVel> Hey, I need some Ubuntu support

[12:05] <dr_willis> paste the commands only..
[12:05] <LadyVel> Oh, I'm sorry
[12:05] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: reboot your computer and boot from recoverymode .. a menu will come up.. then choose "drop to root shell prompt"
[12:05] <dr_willis> or just use a pastebin site.
[12:06] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: then lets pretend your username was john... youd type passwd john then press enter... it will then ask you to type a new password
[12:06] <crackerjackz> dr_willis: does that advice i just gave astalavista12 sound about right?
[12:06] <astalavista12> cracker: all right. what is the next step then?
[12:06] <dr_willis> crackerjackz:  looks about right
[12:06] <dr_willis> set the password.. reboot
[12:07] <crackerjackz> astalavista12: just turn your computer off and turn it back on... choose recovery mode
[12:07] <crackerjackz> a menu will pop up... choose "drop to root shell"
[12:07] <dr_willis> hold shift if the grub menu does not appear
[12:07] <dr_willis> at bootup
[12:08] <crackerjackz> then pretend your username is john... youd type something like passwd john then press enter.. then it will ask you to enter a new password.. enter the new password then enter it again to confirm... after you've set a password type reboot and press enter
[12:08] <astalavista12> cracker:all right. I will do that and let you know

[12:29] <dr_willis> djbengan:  you may want to check the askubuntu.com site for info on your specific make mac.
[12:29] <cagriwary> habla espanol makaor?
[12:30] <k1l> djbengan: make sure you have the kernel headers installed to your kernel
[12:30] <k1l> !es | cagriwary
[12:30] <Makaor> cagriwary, si
[12:30] <cagriwary> hahaha
[12:30] <djbengan> i did check the askubuntu site, thats why im here. there is nothing on 12.10 and 3,1 macbook air...
[12:30] <Cicebro> After I installed fglrx the UI has completely disappeared. Any fix?
[12:31] <BluesKaj> cag , he's in greece
[12:31] <BluesKaj> cagriwary,^
[12:31] <dr_willis> They really need to make/revive that failsafe-x wizard thing for people that have these way to common driver issues
[12:32] <djbengan> but, the headers? rnt they installed by defualt?
[12:32] <Cicebro> How do I fix that without using the failsafe-x wizard or it's revival? ;)
[12:33] <k1l> djbengan: make sure to have them right. its a common problem
[12:34] <djbengan> turned out i had no headers
[12:34] <djbengan> ty
[12:34] <cagriwary> guys, what word processor can you guys recommend for me
[12:34] <dr_willis> cagriwary:  depends on your needs.
[12:35] <dr_willis> light ussage = abiword. mainstream = libreoffice
[12:35] <dr_willis> hardcore = LaTeX ;P
[12:35] <cagriwary> i need a processor where i can integrate with word
[12:35] <dr_willis> No idea
[12:35] <dr_willis> ;P
[12:35] <cagriwary> i thought about latex
[12:35] <dr_willis> make sure you save your word stuff as ODT i guess
[12:35] <cagriwary> but, noone on my class uses it
[12:36] <cagriwary> yeah, but i just tried that. and it ruined the doc completely
[12:36] <cagriwary> all pictures went to the top left corner
[12:36] <k1l> cagriwary: that suits better into the offtopic channel. except there is a technical issue
[12:36] <ovidius2> cagriwary: try freeoffice (which ironically free but proprietary)
[12:37] <djbengan> trying a reboot now, fingers crossed
[12:37] <ovidius2> cagriwary: has the best word filters around. very stable and robust
[12:39] <dr_willis> heh. Not in school any more.. abiword does my needs.
[12:39] <dr_willis> used troff and tex ages ago.
[12:40] <dr_willis> wordstar ;) and finalwriter in college
[12:41] <theadmin> You people and your weird office suites... LibreOffice is just fine.
[12:43] <dr_willis> Too big. ;)
[12:43] <dr_willis> and too Libre.
[12:46] <TakumoKatekari> Hi all, I'm using rxvt-unicode-256color -- but when I SSH into a remote machine, backspace doesn't work, CTRL+L doesn't work and I get "unknown terminal type"
[12:46] <TakumoKatekari> How can I fix this for all SSH connections?
[12:46] <dr_willis> always amuseing to see articals on using minimal-distraction-free text editors... gee thats all we had back then. ;)
[12:46] <dr_willis> set your TERM type perhaps?
[12:47] <TakumoKatekari> can I set it in .ssh/config or somewhere?
[12:47] <dr_willis> as for the backspace.. theres  a old backspace-delete howto at tldp.org with many fixs
[12:47] <dr_willis> really it should set itself when you connect
[12:47] <dr_willis> echo $TERM and see what it says
[12:47] <TakumoKatekari> Its "unknown terminal type: rxvt-unicode-256color"
[12:48] <TakumoKatekari> the remote system doesn't have any understanding of 256color terminals, and I can't put it on because there are dozens of these machines
[12:48] <dr_willis> so echo $TERM gives 'rxvt-unicode-256color' ?
[12:48] <TakumoKatekari> yes
[12:48] <TakumoKatekari> but the remote machine doesn't understand that $TERM
[12:48] <dr_willis> try export TERM='xterm'
[12:49] <dr_willis> why are you using rxvt-unicode-256color anyway?
[12:49] <TakumoKatekari> It worked! Can I have this inside of my .ssh/config
[12:49] <dr_willis> its a hack.. the machine really should have a proper termcap
[12:49] <TakumoKatekari> dr_willis: For ViM, Midnight Commander, weechat, and Ranger
[12:49] <dr_willis> what OS are you sshing into?
[12:49] <TakumoKatekari> Ubuntu 12.04 on EC2
[12:49] <theadmin> TakumoKatekari: All of those are xterm-compatible...
[12:49] <dr_willis> normal rxvt and xterm should work fine
[12:49] <dr_willis> TakumoKatekari:  that is weird.. Id bet they dident install the proper termcap stuff by default
[12:50] <dr_willis> best fix would be to install that termcap stuff..
[12:50] <TakumoKatekari> dr_willis: That's not an option, these are company servers, and there are dozens of them.
[12:50] <dr_willis> egads - this is OLD skool knowledge im using today
[12:50] <TakumoKatekari> .ssh/config supports SendEnv
[12:51] <dr_willis> or you could use a more common terminal emulator. ;)
[12:51] <leshaste> I know see this a lot in a terminal
[12:51] <leshaste> On Wednesday, the FSA said members of the public were to be asked if they find low levels - or "trace contamination" - of horse and other species in beef products acceptable.
[12:51] <leshaste> grr
[12:51] <leshaste> not that :)
[12:51] <FloodBot1> leshaste: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:51] <dr_willis> since i dont see what you are gaining by using that one
[12:51] <leshaste> Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_r600.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:51] <leshaste> anyone else know what that is about?
[12:51] <djbengan> guise
[12:51] <djbengan> unity just broke
[12:51] <leshaste> it only started after a package upgrade
[12:52] <leshaste> but I don't know which one
[12:52] <TakumoKatekari> dr_willis: Proper support for my ViM colorscheme when editing config files.
[12:52] <leshaste> apt-file search libvdpau_r600.so doesn't find it at all
[12:52] <dr_willis> cant say ive ever used or needed 256 colors in vim. ;) im too old skool i guess
[12:53] <djbengan> but atleast the ubuntu startup logo is showin correctly
[12:53] <theadmin> djbengan: How did it "beak"?
[12:53] <dr_willis> of course if it thinks its a xterm - it  may not use 256 colors
[12:53] <djbengan> i installed the suggested header,
[12:53] <theadmin> dr_willis: TERM="xterm-color" # Problem solved.
[12:53] <leshaste> I am only running chromium and kile and xchat
[12:54] <dr_willis> but its 256 colors! ;)
[12:54] <meditator> hello. I'm working voluntary for a non-profit organisation. We have a ubuntu 12.04 running. We have got quite a few doc, xls, pdf and some text files. What would be an easy way to have a browser based searchable index which indexes text from files and names of all the files, including audio file names ? Your help greatly appreciated ..
[12:54] <djbengan> and remove the header
[12:54] <djbengan> and the nvidia drivers
[12:55] <djbengan> and it still freezes when logged in
[12:55] <IzzoDizzo> djbengan, boot into single user mode and look at the logs
[12:55] <a111> does google analytics show the user agent
[12:55] <turner_> please guys
[12:55] <dr_willis> make sure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf is gone also djbengan
[12:55] <turner_> can I have Vega tool on my blackbuntu ?
[12:56] <theadmin> "blackbuntu" is not a supported Ubuntu derivative.
[12:56] <dr_willis> turner_:  ask in the blackbuntu support channels
[12:56] <turner_> okay thnx :)
[12:56] <IzzoDizzo> 56 chef
[12:56] <IzzoDizzo> oops mt
[12:57] <leshaste> ok so how about this
[12:57] <leshaste> vdpauinfo
[12:57] <leshaste> display: :0   screen: 0
[12:57] <leshaste> Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_r600.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:57] <djbengan> xorg.conf is not existing, only xorg.conf.failsafe
[12:57] <leshaste> how do I fix that?
[12:57] <djbengan> theadmin tty is the only thing working
[12:58] <IzzoDizzo> djbengan, what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log look like?
[12:58] <theadmin> djbengan: Is noveau (the open-source nvidia driver) installed and loaded?
[12:59] <theadmin> djbengan: Sorry, nouveau
[12:59] <theadmin> God what's with those unpronouncable names :/
[13:00] <djbengan> xorg is still trying to load glx from nvidia...
[13:00] <djbengan> the logs sais
[13:02] <djbengan> open source nvidia is installed.
[13:02] <djbengan> how to i enable it using terminal?
[13:02] <theadmin> djbengan: sudo modprobe nouveau
[13:03] <theadmin> djbengan: You might want to blacklist nvidia in your modprobe.conf as well.
[13:06] <djbengan> blacklisted nvidia, still the same issue
[13:06] <dr_willis> make sure nouveau is not blacklisted
[13:07] <dr_willis> bbl
[13:10] <djbengan> still not working
[13:13] <djbengan> any more suggestions? full freeze when logged into desktop
[13:14] <theadmin> djbengan: Can you log in as another user?
[13:14] <djbengan> guest user
[13:14] <theadmin> Any other user
[13:14] <djbengan> no, only got one
[13:15] <theadmin> djbengan: Then add another one from a TTY ("sudo adduser")
[13:17] <djbengan> another user created
[13:17] <theadmin> djbengan: Try to log in now.
[13:17] <djbengan> still broken, but no freeze
[13:17] <theadmin> Uh, then how is it broken?
[13:19] <djbengan> theadmin: eh, typical, broken, random text instead of icons, checkered patterns on top bar etc
[13:19] <theadmin> Huh, can't say I've ever seen that before
[13:20] <d3c0> update the python version 2.7! ?
[13:20] <theadmin> d3c0: To what? 2.7 is the final release in the 2.x branch.
[13:20] <cursor007> Hi
[13:21] <Layke> I just made a change to /etc/sudoers and I think it had a mistake
[13:21] <Layke> Now I can't fix the mistake.
[13:21] <astalavista12> crackerjackz: i works now, at least I was able to get in
[13:21] <astalavista12> "it"
[13:22] <theadmin> Layke: You use "visudo" to edit that file and don't touch it by hand, normally. Boot into recovery mode and fix it from there.
[13:22] <djbengan> theadmin: imgur.com/uBuBY4Q
[13:22] <Layke> O okay. Woops
[13:22] <d3c0> I have the Python 2.6.6 version, I want the python 2.7 !
[13:22] <astalavista12> cravkerjazz: you are the man!
[13:23] <theadmin> d3c0: Then you'll need to upgrade Ubuntu to at least 12.04.
[13:24] <d3c0> there are another choices?
[13:24] <astalavista12> Does anyone know if ita possible to get the same interface on 12.04 as on 10.04. I like the one on 10.04 better, I find it more user friendly
[13:24] <theadmin> No, trying to upgrade Python through third-pary sources will likely break half your system.
[13:24] <theadmin> astalavista12: The same, no, not anymore. But, take a look at this, it's very very similar: http://xubuntu.org
[13:25] <gynna> http://www.reddit.com/r/AdultDating18/comments/19t98u/ebony_pornstar_simone_staxxx/
[13:26] <astalavista12> cheers the admin. I never tried xubuntu before. What are the pros, cons in comparison to ubuntu?
[13:26] <theadmin> astalavista12: You can easily install Xubuntu from within Ubuntu by "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop".
[13:26] <darq_> it rulez
[13:27] <k1l> !notunity | astalavista12
[13:27] <djbengan> tried --reinstall on unity
[13:27] <k1l> astalavista12: but xfce and lxde look like gnome2 too
[13:27] <theadmin> astalavista12: Well, Xfce is basically the same thing as Gnome2 from a user's point of view. Except it's prettier and somewhat more functional (for example, you can have panels anywhere, not just edges of the screen).
[13:27] <theadmin> astalavista12: As for disadvantages, I only found one major one: Thunar doesn't integrate with Ubuntu One sanely, but you can still fix that. Somewhat.
[13:28] <darq_> runs fast on 1g ram
[13:28] <astalavista12> all right, thanx to everyone for the info!
[13:29] <djbengan> trying xubuntu-desktop to check if it is unity or the system itself...
[13:30] <djbengan> i find it intresting how about 1 in 4 install comes out with working unity on the macbook air
[13:33] <meditator> hello. I'm working voluntary for a non-profit organisation. We have a ubuntu 12.04 running. We have got quite a few doc, xls, pdf and some text files. What would be an easy way to have a browser based searchable index which indexes text from files and names of all the files, including audio file names ? Your help greatly appreciated ..
[13:34] <Stdedos> Anyone here having a LOT of time?
[13:35] <levo> sed s/foo/goo oldFile > newFile   ---------> sed: -e expression #1, char 11: unterminated `s' command   ---what's wrong?
[13:35] <theadmin> levo: s/foo/goo/
[13:35] <theadmin> Stdedos: That's not a support question.
[13:36] <Stdedos> theadmin: indeed it is not, but I want some help on compliling kernel in VM
[13:36] <soa2ii> Hi there. I try to setup a virtual machine host usgin libvirt on 12.04. Now I have two ethernet ports on my system. eth0 is statically configured to be my host systems IP now I'd like to set up a bridge on eth1 with no IP so my vitual machoines can access our LAN through that bridge. I tried this setup http://pastebin.com/Qi1XHnnH but "service networking restart" does not apply my br0. A manual "ifdown br0" results in "ifdown: interface br0 not
[13:36] <soa2ii>  configured". Any ideas?
[13:36] <theadmin> Stdedos: Why would you even bother... The stock kernel woks fine for about anything
[13:36] <nikitis> Linux question:  I want to compress a directory using lzma.  tar --lzma -xvf dir.tar.lzma dir/  <== looking at this, how do I make lzma use highest compression ratio?
[13:37] <Stdedos> theadmin: Uni student, messing with Kernel
[13:37] <Stdedos> theadmin: project
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> meditator: http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/open-source-dropbox-alternatives-to-start-building-a-file-storage-sharing-system/
[13:38] <theadmin> Stdedos: Well, you can PM me. I don't have a "LOT" of time always, but sometimes I do have free time to help.
[13:41] <hapster> Anyone know what XOrg version ubuntu 13.04 will  be getting?
[13:41] <nikitis> won't be
[13:41] <nikitis> ditching it
[13:41] <meditator> thanks ActionParsnip , but these seem to be just storage systems with user management etc.... they dont seem to have search capabilities for the content that is stored ?
[13:41] <nikitis> Using Mir
[13:42] <Pici> nikitis: no
[13:42] <nikitis> Anyone have an answer for my question above?
[13:42] <avu> 13.04 won't be using Mir, no. It will be quite a while until Mir can maybe replace Xorg for normal desktops
[13:42] <nikitis> i need a guru for my question.  Google doesn't answer
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> avu: #ubuntu+1 for anything Raring based til release day please
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> nikitis: ask and see
[13:43] <nikitis> i did
[13:43] <theadmin> nikitis: Try something along the lines of: tar c dir | lzma -9e > output.tar.lzma
[13:43] <fatninja> Ubuntu is ultra fast, but I want to switch it to the next level, I want to migrate it to my ssd hard drive
[13:43] <fatninja> how can I migrate and keep the same settings ?
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> nikitis: after you make the file, gzip it with the highest compression
[13:43] <nikitis> well i want to use lzma
[13:44] <theadmin> nikitis: And that will.
[13:44] <nikitis> the cleanest way to do it was the way I stated
[13:44] <avu> nikitis: same thing, use tar, then lzma with -9
[13:44] <nikitis> but not sure where to add the -9
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> fatninja: make a backup (as you should be already) then restore the backup
[13:44] <fatninja> it's that easy ?
[13:44] <ogra_> hapster, whatever is recent at the time in debian .... (and X will run fine on top of Mir, no worries)
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> fatninja: sure, why wouldn't it be?
[13:44] <djbengan> im now running gnome3 and all the issues are solved.
[13:45] <fatninja> ok, but then I need to update the bootloader
[13:45] <nikitis> tar --lzma cvf file.tar.lzma directory/
[13:45] <fatninja> right ?
[13:45] <theadmin> nikitis: I just gave you the whole command: tar c DIR | lzma -9e > OUTFILE
[13:45] <nikitis> ok
[13:45] <frew> hey guys, how can I make FF my default browser?  opening links keeps opening chromium
[13:45] <nikitis> that's just a bit hard to remember
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> nikitis: if you are working on already compressed data, unless it is a LOT you probably won't notice a huge amount of difference
[13:45] <hapster> ogra_ but Mir will be expected on 14.04 right? not 13.04?
[13:45] <theadmin> frew: System Settings -> Details -> Default apps
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> nikitis: once you do something once, you could make a script :)
[13:46] <frew> thanks
[13:46] <ogra_> hapster, well, its not clear yet if there will actually be a 13.04 ... but yeah, the actual switch is planned for around october
[13:46] <nikitis> ActionParsnip: yes, but i tend to zip 8GB + files
[13:46] <nikitis> a lot
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> frew: what are you opening the links in?
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> nikitis: then I'd script it, saves leg works
[13:47] <frew> ActionParsnip: right clicking links in terminator and clicking open...
[13:48] <hapster> ogra_ yeah couldn't get any news on that. Would want to see it running asap though.
[13:49] <ogra_> hapster, https://plus.google.com/110095242873945299189/posts
[13:50] <ogra_> he's the lead dev
[13:50] <ogra_> (or one of them)
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> frew: then theadmin's advice will fly :)
[13:51] <nikitis> i helped with commits for dual monitors on xorg years ago
[13:51] <frew> yeah I already checked :)
[13:52] <hapster> ogra_ Thanks. I've seen those videos already but no word yet on weather it will be for the April release. Looks like it still has a long way to go
[13:52] <ogra_> it surely has
[13:52] <ogra_> though you will likely see it on touch devices very soon
[13:52] <ogra_> faster tthan on desktops
[13:52] <Touhou11> The wayland codebase is more developed, maybe they'll switch if behind schedule
[13:53] <ogra_> nope
[13:53] <nikitis> what does current ubuntu tablet do?
[13:53] <ogra_> wayland is so far from Mir they dont have much in common
[13:53] <auronandace> !tablet
[13:53] <histo> !phone | nikitis
[13:53] <ogra_> dont belive the FUD you read :)
[13:53] <Touhou11> ogra_: The only FUD was from Canonical... Wayland developers debunked most of the claims in the spec, they hadn't even been approached...
[13:53] <ogra_> (mir is closer to androids surfaceflinger than to wayland)
[13:54] <narcos> Hey all. What's the right way to disable my /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server from running on boot? To just delete / move the file?
[13:54] <Touhou11> !ot | ogra_
[13:54] <Pici> This is really a better topic for #ubuntu-touch or -discuss than -fftopic
[13:54] <ogra_> yeah, sorry
[13:56] <nooga> hi
[13:56] <histo> marahin: sudo update-rc.d -f isc-dhcp-server remove
[13:57] <cfhowlett> nooga, greetings
[13:57] <histo> marahin: or you can disable it
[13:57] <nooga> I'm trying to add unetbootin made usb stick as a package source in freshly installed ubuntu (no internet access because wifi driver failed)
[13:57] <histo> marahin: update-rc.d service disable runlevel
[13:57] <marahin> histo, I think that you're misstabbing me.
[13:57] <nooga> i've added deb file://path/to/mounted/stick/dists/quantal quantal main restricted
[13:58] <histo> narcos: see updat-rc.d commands
[13:58] <histo> marahin: sorry
[13:58] <marahin> np.
[13:58] <nooga> to the sources list... but it looks like apt-get update fails on that
[13:58] <histo> narcos: you can sudo update-rc.d -f isc-dhcp-server remove  to remove the scripts or use update-rc.d service disable runlevel to disable it
[13:58] <nooga> even though i have Release and Release.gpg files in there, and overall structure looks fine
[13:59] <cfhowlett> nooga, can I ask what wifi chip you've got?  if, as I suspect, it's a broadcom, the fix is pretty easy ...
[13:59] <nooga> cfhowlett: broadcom
[13:59] <nooga> :D
[13:59] <histo> narcos: the most proper way would be to disable it
[13:59] <cfhowlett> nooga and you're running 12.10?  wait 1
[13:59] <nooga> cfhowlett: yes, i'm trying this atm: http://askubuntu.com/a/215342
[14:00] <histo> narcos: so sudo update-rc.d isc-dhcp-server disable
[14:00] <nooga> but without internet connection and apt sources i think i cannot do that
[14:00] <PeterGriffin> Hi all. I have ubuntu server 12.04 on RAID 1, but it can't find GRUB and keeps asking me for a system disk. I installed GRUb form live dvd few times but it doesn't work. HELP
[14:00] <cfhowlett> nooga, pretty sure we can get your internet up ...
[14:01] <nooga> cfhowlett: how? :)
[14:01] <cfhowlett> nooga, first things first: open a terminal and run this command    lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
[14:01] <cfhowlett> nooga  terminal?
[14:01] <PeterGriffin> will it help if I copy /boot/grub from archive to the filesystem?
[14:02] <cfhowlett> nooga, type terminal on the dash then click.
[14:02] <nooga> cfhowlett: says BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
[14:02] <nooga> i'm retyping this on another computer :D
[14:02] <cfhowlett> nooga, sweet.  you'll kick yourself when you see how easy this is ...
[14:03] <nooga> I can't wait :D
[14:03] <lcabreza1> hi guys, anybody has a complete command to show memory usage by percentage using vmstat ? this is the only available on Sun OS
[14:03] <cfhowlett> nooga, in the following link, see the STA - No Internet Access method.  You even get to use that nice usb stick you made ... http://turbolinux.org/2011/07/ubuntu-broadcom-bcm43xx-chipset-pci/
[14:04] <nooga> okay... sec
[14:04] <cbeebie> lcabreza, you can get a breakdown of memory usage using 'top'
[14:06] <cfhowlett> nooga ???
[14:06] <lcabreza1> cbeebie: no top command available
[14:07] <Pici> lcabreza1: Are you running Ubuntu?
[14:07] <shmoon> hi
[14:07] <lcabreza1> Pici:the current os i support is on Sun OS wondering if anybody has an idea ..
[14:08] <shmoon> $ which android - cannot locate the command, when android's directory is in PATH, how can i fix it ?
[14:08] <cfhowlett> shmoon, android?  this is ubuntu ...
[14:08] <Pici> lcabreza1: Well, this is #ubuntu, and we only support Ubuntu here.  I don't know what their channel is, but perhaps #freenode or alis (/msg alis help list) can help you find it.
[14:08] <ezhilvanan> Can we expect ubuntu 13.04 by end of this Month?
[14:08] <shmoon> cfhowlett: talking about the which command, android is just an executable
[14:08] <cfhowlett> ezhilvanan, no.  04 means april
[14:09] <Pici> !schedule-#ubuntu+1 > ezhilvanan
[14:09] <lcabreza1> Pici: Thanks anyways ..just don't know the room for SUN Os ..
[14:09] <shmoon> cfhowlett: $ which executable should output the path of a command rigt ?
[14:09] <layke__> Hey, I edited /etc/sudoers  ( I didn't know about visudo), anyway, when I boot into recovery mode, I can't even edit the /etc/sudoers file
[14:09] <shmoon> in my case it doesnt for a command whose PATH was just added, is there a way to fix this.
[14:09] <layke__> ANy ideas?
[14:09] <shmoon> this is preventing a sofyware from executing
[14:09] <cfhowlett> shmoon, sorry, I've got to punt.  Over my head.
[14:09] <ezhilvanan> thanks for your replies
[14:10] <cfhowlett> ezhilvanan, best of luck
[14:10] <shmoon> punt?
[14:10] <ezhilvanan> cfhowlett, thanks
[14:10] <Pici> shmoon: does the path you 'added' show up in echo $PATH?
[14:10] <cfhowlett> shmoon, sorry.  I can't answer your query.   Perhaps someone else more knowledgeable ...
[14:10] <shmoon> Pici: yes, and typing and and hitting tab also completed android
[14:11] <ezhilvanan> ubottu, thanks
[14:11] <ezhilvanan> means?
[14:11] <nooga> cfhowlett: done, thanks! It magically worked!
[14:11] <kelye> it's an automated script
[14:11] <kelye> not a real person :)
[14:12] <cfhowlett> nooga, was that not just ridiculously easy?
[14:12] <nooga> yeah
[14:12] <cfhowlett> nooga, bookmark the page for next time.  glad I could help
[14:13] <Pici> shmoon: hmm, it seems to work for me here.
[14:13] <nooga> big thanks cfhowlett
[14:13] <shmoon> do i have to reboot ?
[14:13] <Pici> shmoon: you shouldn't have to do anything. You could try doing running  rehash   though
[14:14] <shmoon> theres no rehash command
[14:14] <TaMpeRen> hello
[14:14] <Pici> shmoon: sorry, was thinking about zsh.
[14:15] <TaMpeRen> does anyone uses rabbitsvn?
[14:16] <PeterGriffin> I have ubuntu server 12.04 on RAID 1, but it can't find GRUB and keeps asking me for a system disk. I installed GRUb form live dvd few times but it doesn't work. HELP
[14:16] <Pici> shmoon: Anyway, I just tested in bash too and which was instantly able to find a new executable I put in a new entry in PATH
[14:16] <PeterGriffin> will it help if I copy /boot/grub from archive to the filesystem?
[14:16] <cfhowlett> PeterGriffin, maybe ask in #ubuntu-server ???
