[06:53] <Chuck_Norris> wine is for temviewer Dr
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> wetcircle:  there is no default root accoung. and direct logging in to x as root is also locked down.
[06:53] <iceroot> aLearner: sounds like a job for teamviewer or x-forwarding
[06:53] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: sudo apt-get install wine
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> Chuck_Norris:  i think theres teamviewer native for linux
[06:53] <iceroot> aLearner: and i bet you want teamviewer and not x-forwarding
[06:53] <wetcircle> why?
[06:53] <Chuck_Norris> you think bad
[06:53] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: its not native
[06:53] <wetcircle> that makes no sense.
[06:53] <aLearner> iceroot: Roger that. How should I go about this, then?
[06:53] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: its teamviewer.exe :)
[06:53] <fidel> Dr_Willis: the latest teamviewer version is using wine again why ever iirc
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> wetcircle:  yes it does make sence.  'for security' reaspns
[06:54] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Should I go ahead and get wine - or is teamviewer something completely different?
[06:54] <fidel> earlier versions didnt rely on wine iirc
[06:54] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: you need wine to run temviewer so: sudo apt-get install wine
[06:54] <iceroot> aLearner: you need wine (sudo apt-get install wine) to use teamviewer (www.teamviewer.com) download there the *.deb file for ubuntu
[06:54] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Should I do this on the client machine or the server machine?
[06:54] <iceroot> aLearner: both
[06:55] <wetcircle> how am i soppuse to run an application that tells me everytime i try to run it that i don't have privileges. how am i suppose to delete and edit files in the file system folder. it's my system. you're telling me i can't have control of it?
[06:55] <aLearner> iceroot: Roger that. Will do and report back.
[06:55] <aLearner> iceroot: Thank you.
[06:55] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Thank you.
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> !sudo | wetcircle
[06:55] <Chuck_Norris> then go to the teamviewer's oficial webpage and download the Linux version
[06:55] <iceroot> !sudo | wetcircle
[06:55] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: ye, in both
[06:55] <iceroot> to fast for me :(
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> wetcircle:  thers no need to use direct logging in as root. i do all that with sudo and gksudo
[06:55] <Chuck_Norris> teamviewer will give ya an ID and a Password
[06:56] <wetcircle> i put the programs file path in the run section of gksudo or just the name?
[06:56] <Chuck_Norris> in the client side you have to write the ID and the password for the machine you wanna to manage
[06:56] <wetcircle> i think i've got it from here.
[06:56] <wetcircle> thanks.
[06:56] <whatsyourname> debian is better than ubuntu?
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> whatsyourname:  define 'better'
[06:57] <fidel> whatsyourname: there is no general 'better'
[06:57] <pratz> hey guys how can i disable the system beep for ubuntu 10.04 ?
[06:57] <iceroot> whatsyourname: define that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:57] <ewfr> Hi ALL!
[06:57] <pratz> I want to disable it for headphone and speakers
[06:57] <ewfr> I have question
[06:57] <whatsyourname> better means more powerful and useful
[06:57] <whatsyourname> Even more flexible
[06:57] <iceroot> pratz: i dont know if it is the easiest way but disabling the kernel-modul for it worked fine for me
[06:57] <iceroot> !ot | whatsyourname
[06:57] <fidel> whatsyourname: -> #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:58] <ewfr> Can I install Ubuntu on my portative devices?
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> whatsyourname:  thats rather vague really..
[06:58] <iceroot> pratz: lsmod will show you something like (pcspkr)
[06:58] <iceroot> pratz: you have to blacklist that module
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> ewfr:  what sort of device exxactly?
[06:58] <iceroot> !blacklist | pratz
[06:58] <ewfr> Devices is my Vibrator
[06:59] <iceroot> ewfr: stop it please
[06:59] <ewfr> What stop?
[06:59] <pratz> iceroot: it is already blacklisted
[06:59] <ewfr> Im seriously
[06:59] <iceroot> pratz: and not shown in "lsmod"?
[06:59] <ewfr> Can or CANT?
[06:59] <iceroot> ewfr: i am seriously too
[06:59] <pratz> iceroot: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[06:59] <pratz> iceroot: on 10.04
[07:00] <ewfr> iceroot, u homofobic?
[07:00] <iceroot> ewfr: what about "stop it" is not clear?
[07:00] <pratz> iceroot: lsmod output does not show pcspkr
[07:00] <ewfr> iceroot, where i can download Ubuntu mobile?
[07:01] <iceroot> ewfr: there is no "ubuntu mobile"
[07:01] <pratz> iceroot: i am using headphones, i can listen the beep in headphone
[07:01] <iceroot> !download | ewfr
[07:01] <pratz> iceroot: i do not have speakers attached to the computer, but i have headphones
[07:01] <ewfr> iceroot, how no? i read in Wiki
[07:01] <ewfr> about Ubuntu Mobile
[07:02] <ewfr> 2008 year
[07:02] <iceroot> pratz: do you have the beep only in the terminal or also on tty? imo there was something in gnome-terminal as a signal bell which is something different then the pcspkr module
[07:02] <ewfr> iceroot, Can i install Ubuntu Mobile on my Vibrator?
[07:02] <ewfr> iceroot, seriously?
[07:02] <iceroot> !ot | ewfr
[07:03] <iceroot> ewfr: stop this useluss stuff please
[07:03] <pratz> iceroot: i have it on tty
[07:03] <Blackshirt> Someone kick efwr
[07:03] <iceroot> pratz: on tty then it should be the kernel-modul
[07:03] <iceroot> pratz: can you paste the output of "lsmod" please
[07:03] <iceroot> !paste | pratz
[07:04] <ewfr> iceroot, just i very love ubuntu, and have very many sex with it in last.

[07:07] <fidel> aLearner: similar to - call the police - irc wise

[07:16] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: open a terminal and type: uname -a   and paste the output here
[07:16] <fidel> aLearner: its tells you to set that cmd up in a terminal to give him additional information about your system
[07:16] <pratz> fidel: you mean the speaker wire in cpu ?
[07:16] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Roger that.
[07:16] <aLearner> fidel: Thank you for clearing that up. :-)

[07:22] <fidel> pratz: where does the beep sound comes from? and what triggers it?
[07:22] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Sorry...It's on another continent. The wget command I wrote seems to be working, though.
[07:22] <goddard> it appears the "Privacy" icon in system settings isn't on my system even though I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04
[07:22] <fidel> pratz: right now i still dont get your question - as i dont know what beep you are actually talking about

[07:50] <rouge_killer97> hey people
[07:51] <rouge_killer97> i just updated ubuntu from 11.10 to the newer 12.4 and im not sure whats going on but its mostly black nearly all the icons are black or gone wireless doesnt work i think it messed up all mt drivers
[07:52] <rouge_killer97> any ideas on what to do?
[07:54] <Zzzssss> HI Channel..
[07:54] <sacarlson> rouge_killer97: strange you can see it but it's dark?  never heard that one
[07:54] <Zzzssss> i wanted to ask about /etc/resolve.conf on ubuntu 12
[07:55] <Zzzssss> how i can manually edit it or permenantly change values even after reboot ?
[07:55] <sacarlson> Zzzssss: put some numbers in it like <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:55] <rouge_killer97> well i can see it but its all dark
[07:55] <rouge_killer97> the side menu buttons are gray
[07:55] <rouge_killer97> wifi doesnt work
[07:56] <rouge_killer97> most window closing buttons are gone
[07:56] <acicula> Zzzssss: if you put somtehing in there yourself it should stay like that
[07:56] <sacarlson> Zzzssss: I think you can change dns settings in the network-manager see the dns box
[07:57] <rouge_killer97> but ubuntu did work fine in 11.10
[07:57] <sacarlson> rouge_killer97: I guess we should warn to try the live CD before you upgrade
[07:57] <Zzzssss> scarlson: i changed it but after /etc/init.d/networking restart again change it back to old
[07:58] <sacarlson> Zzzssss: you change it in network-manager?  the gui?
[07:58] <rouge_killer97> i used the update method within linux i figured it would be fine
[07:58] <Zzzssss> its also not using network-manager as well as DHCP..
[07:58] <Zzzssss> if it use network-manager then /etc/init.d/network-manager service will be ?
[07:58] <ircnode0> my friend has firefox running somewhere, but he can't remember in which machine. Can he kill the firefox process in different machine somehow?
[07:59] <sacarlson> Zzzssss: do you not run on a desktop edition with the gui network-manager,  that has a box to change dns that should stick
[07:59] <ferni> 12.04 desktop uses dnsmasq, see current settings /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf  and change the settings from network-manager connection settings for the interface
[08:00] <codeshepherd> weird .. http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80] has gone down, my ec2 server is not updating nginx  .. how do i fix it?

[08:01] <rouge_killer97> i ran the repair mode again it had alot of things fail im amazed i can see the desktop at all :/
[08:02] <Zzzssss> scarlson: i was reading this thing http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/

[08:06] <Zzzssss> /etc/network/interfaces .. need to edit it
[08:07] <wagnerdocri> Hi, could I post a question please? Could I use this page to try my wireless card in 12.04? (  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Atheros/AR9285 )
[08:08] <wave> Hi, tryin to compile the xilinx USB driver as 32-bits for my 64-bits system and I'm getting followin error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1035088/. I have intalled ia32-libs ant multilib support packages
[08:08] <wave> what could be the problem?
[08:08] <sacarlson> Zzzssss: yes as I read that looks like the new method modify /etc/network/interfaces I guess for static config
[08:08] <rouge_killer97> so any suggestions on my install? must be something i can try
[08:09] <wagnerdocri> I cannot see wireless networks avaible
[08:10] <sacarlson> wave: I think you need to install the other compiler that accepts -m32 as an option , I forget what the package name is
[08:10] <fleakite> rie
[08:10] <fleakite> oops, sorry.
[08:10] <sacarlson> wave: something like gcc multi
[08:11] <wave> I havge installed that already
[08:11] <sacarlson> wave: what's the name of that package of the compiler?
[08:13] <sacarlson> wave: what compiler is it pointing too?
[08:16] <pikkachu> synaptic is not included by default in ubuntu, so how to remove older kernels without it, and without using apt-get?
[08:16] <pikkachu> that is, a clean front-end approach

[08:18] <leaeasy> hi,how to tweak debian installer frontend background?
[08:19] <phanindraramesh> hai all, where can I find the "Number of Glyphs" field in Fontforge font information?
[08:27] <drecute> ok. Ubuntu won't start after I make updates. It's dropping to initramfs. I used gparted and ran fsck. no luck yet. I troed to mount / and I got this: http://codepad.org/SVxMDnSc
[08:28] <rouge_killer97> you think my problem may be that my sistem is 64bit?
[08:28] <rouge_killer97> system*
[08:28] <drecute> *tried
[08:29] <rouge_killer97> im not too sure but i may have had some i386 packages on my 11.10 system
[08:29] <drecute> so I understand it's a mount problem due to wrong command. please how do I resolve this? Recovery mode is also dropping to initramfs
[08:30] <sacarlson> drecute: can you try sudo mkdir /mnt2; sudo mount /dev/sdXX /mnt2 ;  I'm not sure you can mount root to root that way
[08:30] <drecute> I ran updates because I wanted to upgrade to 12.04 from 11.10
[08:31] <sacarlson> drecute: sdXX must be changed to the partition used in your case for root
[08:32] <drecute> sacarlson: ok, I'm in there
[08:32] <sacarlson> drecute: does that mean it mounted?
[08:32] <drecute> sacarlson: thanks. So I guess I can make those changes now and ubuntu will mount / on rebott?
[08:32] <drecute> sacarlson: yes
[08:33] <sacarlson> drecute: I'm not sure at least we know that the disk superblock is ok
[08:34] <drecute> sacarlson: on boot, ubuntu complains of not able to mount / because it can't find /etc/auto.nfs. So I guess it's because there's some errors in that file
[08:35] <drecute> sacarlson: let me paste the content of /etc/auto.nfs
[08:35] <sacarlson> drecute: ok and also lets see sudo fdisk -l
[08:35] <drecute> ok
[08:37] <john_911> 好
[08:37] <drecute> sacarlson: http://codepad.org/kjN963vm
[08:39] <sacarlson> drecute: so your home is on a remote nfs file system?
[08:40] <sacarlson> drecute: best we see /etc/fstab also
[08:45] <drecute> sacarlson: http://codepad.org/4BtFevPi
[08:47] <sacarlson> drecute: it apears it's having problem connecting to your nfs server,  can you even ping that name?
[08:49] <sacarlson> drecute: not sure how to correct this, I would setup a local /home/user2 or something that can at least boot so you can fix the nfs mount problem
[08:50] <pikkachu> how to erase recent items from unity?
[08:51] <sacarlson> drecute: then temp remove your nfs mounts from /etc/fstab.   when you figure that out you can again put the nfs mounts back in
[08:52] <drecute> sacarlson: before doing updates the network settings were fine
[08:52] <drecute> I could ping it
[08:52] <sacarlson> drecute: oh updates not upgrades?
[08:52] <drecute> sacarlson: I think my network config has been reset after the update
[08:52] <drecute> sacarlson: yes
[08:53] <sacarlson> drecute: well in any case the corective action would be the same
[08:54] <drecute> sacarlson: so I should just remove the nfs entries from the fstab
[08:54] <sacarlson> drecute: I would keep a local account on the local disk just for this kind of problem to make it easy to isolate and fix
[08:54] <sacarlson> drecute: that might be all that's needed is remove those lines if a root account is enabled
[08:54] <drecute> sacarlson: I have a local account and I'm using a local account
[08:55] <sacarlson> drecute: I didn't see any local mount to /home so not sure what your local account is located
[08:56] <sacarlson> drecute: the root account is normaly located at /root
[08:56] <sacarlson> drecute: so it won't be a part of /home
[08:56] <drecute> yea
[08:56] <drecute> root account is available at /root
[08:57] <sacarlson> drecute: so just remove those nfs lines from /etc/fstab it should boot ok, login as root and isolate the nfs mount problem and fix it
[08:57] <drecute> sacarlson: there are always no entries for /home in fstab
[08:57] <drecute> ok
[08:57] <drecute> just give me a minute
[08:58] <drecute> one question is I hope I can write directly to /mnt2 and it will have effect on /?
[08:58] <dataphreak> Have a question regarding usb wifi cards.
[08:59] <sacarlson> drecute: oh your /home is all local I thought /users was your home
[09:00] <sacarlson> drecute: yes default is to mount read write
[09:00] <drecute> sacarlson: /users is nfs mount, I have a script that periodically sends all accounts at /home to /users
[09:01] <sacarlson> drecute: I wonder if I'm totaly wrong,  is anything mounted to /users now?
[09:02] <drecute> sacarlson: that's autofs mount in /etc/auto.nfs file
[09:02] <drecute> sacarlson: i'm also removing that
[09:03] <sacarlson> drecute: nfs must have changed as we didn't use auto.nfs before
[09:04] <drecute> sacarlson: yeah. Seems like a lot of changes went in there
[09:06] <drecute> rebootin... wich me luck
[09:06] <drecute> *wish
[09:06] <amitprakash> Hi, a deb package I downloaded failed during installation and now I am even unable to uninstall it . The error showing up is ' subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
[09:06] <amitprakash> ' How do I fix this?
[09:07] <angs> I plugged a usb wifi doggle to my desktop. I am able to connect the access point through the GUI. how can I do it in terminal? what command do I need to type?
[09:07] <susundberg> angs: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch13_:_Linux_Wireless_Networking
[09:08] <sacarlson> amitprakash: that's scary I've fixed these before but forget how
[09:08] <angs> thank you susundberg
[09:09] <sacarlson> amitprakash: for one thing what is it we installed?
[09:10] <amitprakash> sacarlson, resolved.. removed all files related to package followed by apt-get -f install
[09:10] <sacarlson> amitprakash: yup that was the command I remember
[09:11] <sacarlson> amitprakash: that doesn't always work but most the time it does
[09:12] <devxdev> join #ubuntu-or-us
[09:21] <potofcoffee> Hi. I'm on Unity-2D and the Alt+F2 shortcut is not working. Trying to set it in system settings -> keyboard -> shortcuts fails because, there it says "Disabled" and the word "Disabled" is italicized. Any ideas what to do?
[09:22] <sacarlson> potofcoffee: what is it you want ALT+f2 to do?
[09:23] <potofcoffee> Open the "Run command" window
[09:23] <sacarlson> potofcoffee: do you want to open a console?  ALT+<ctl>+f2
[09:24] <potofcoffee> sacarlson: No, I know about that. In older Gnome/Unity desktops, Alt+F2 used to open just a commandline to execute a single command.
[09:24] <potofcoffee> That's what I want back.
[09:25] <devxdev> potofcoffee: tap ALT
[09:25] <potofcoffee> There's an entry for that in system settings->keyboard->shortcuts, but as I said, it's disabled.
[09:26] <potofcoffee> Tapping alt invokes the hud, but is that equivalent to the former Alt+F2?
[09:26] <devxdev> ahh nvm nope
[09:26] <devxdev> its a command for the current active window :/
[09:26] <potofcoffee> That's what I figured.
[09:27] <sacarlson> potofcoffee: sorrry I run 10.04 ya ALT+f2 opens the box to run an app for me
[09:28] <potofcoffee> sacarlson: The dash? Or just the little window to "run a command"?
[09:28] <c00p> My ubuntu server has two nics - I want SSH to listen on 22 on both interfaces, but also port 80 and 443 only on 1 NIC so I can have apache listening on the other one - anyone know how to do that?
[09:28] <c00p> I have apache done
[09:28] <fidel> potofcoffee: could it be that you have disabled alt+f2 i.e. using ubuntu tweak in the past?
[09:28] <sacarlson> potofcoffee: opens the gui box to run a command
[09:28] <potofcoffee> sacarlson: that's the one I want
[09:29] <fidel> potofcoffee: alternative quick idea: just use another launcher as 'run' alternative -> i can recommend Kupfer
[09:29] <potofcoffee> fidel: I don't think so, but let me open ubuntu tweak and check
[09:29] <fidel> potofcoffee: http://technostripe.com/quick-tip-disable-altf2-run-dialog-with-ubuntu-tweak/
[09:29] <owh> c00p: Your question doesn't make sense to me. Can you try again?
[09:30] <c00p> ok
[09:31] <c00p> I have two NICS in my server. I want to configure SSHD to listen on TCP port 22 on both nice
[09:31] <c00p> *NICs
[09:31] <ikonia> c00p: you'll need to run seperate ssh instances
[09:31] <c00p> eth0 and eth1
[09:31] <c00p> ikonia: was trying not having to do that
[09:31] <ikonia> c00p: the first instance listen *:22
[09:31] <ikonia> c00p: that's the only way
[09:31] <c00p> ok
[09:31] <c00p> ta
[09:31] <ikonia> c00p: you could look at using iptables to redirect the other ports to 22
[09:32] <ikonia> c00p: that way ssh only listens on 22, but iptables redirectss 80 and 443 to 22
[09:32] <c00p> yup
[09:32] <c00p> that is how I will do it
[09:32] <c00p> thanks :)
[09:32] <c00p> only on eth1
[09:32] <c00p> done
[09:32] <FloodBot1> c00p: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:32] <c00p> thankyou
[09:32] <potofcoffee> fidel: not disabled in ubuntu tweak :-(
[09:32] <saleem_> what driver do i need for TP-Link TL-WN727N usb Wireless stich on lubuntu 11.10?
[09:32] <iceroot> what are my disadvantages when using pae instead of amd64 with 4gb ram? only 1.8gb for each process? i cant use amd64 because of big issues with opengl and wine
[09:32] <saleem_> stick*
[09:33] <sacarlson> saleem_: plug it in and hope it just works
[09:34] <Chuck_Norris> saleem_: paste: lsusb
[09:34] <saleem_> sacarlson, it is plugged in but lubuntu did not pick it
[09:34] <saleem_> ok
[09:34] <LjL> iceroot: only <some amount here which you appear to know better than i do> for each process, yes, but that doesn't sound like it would be a huge issue
[09:34] <lilstevie> iceroot, that and you will not be able to run applications compiled for amd64
[09:35] <saleem_> http://pastie.org/4066396
[09:36] <Chuck_Norris> saleem_: sudo rmmod iwlwifi ; sleep 5 ; sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
[09:36] <saleem_> ok thank Chuck_Norris
[09:36] <iceroot> shouldnt it be possible to use an amd64 kernel with 32bit userland?
[09:37] <ikonia> iceroot: you'll still be limited with the userland
[09:37] <ikonia> iceroot: easier to just stick to 32bit or 64bit
[09:37] <iceroot> so i can adress more then 4gb complete and dont have to use pae but each process can only use 32bit adresses
[09:37] <saleem_> Chuck_Norris, i get an error ERROR: Module iwlwifi does not exist in /proc/modules
[09:37] <saleem_> FATAL: Module iwlwifi not found.
[09:37] <ikonia> iceroot: do you have processes that use large ammounts of ram ?
[09:37] <sveinse> Hi. I've setup precise on a machine which are allocated static IP. However /etc/resolv.conf are blanked each time the machine is rebooted. Where should I put dns entries if not in resolv.conf?
[09:37] <lilstevie> the libs will still only be 32bit thus stuck to 32bit
[09:37] <iceroot> ikonia: vbox (3gb) and wine (1.5gb)
[09:38] <ikonia> iceroot: vbox isn't 3gb in one binary though is it, it's seperated out
[09:38] <iceroot> ikonia: it is?
[09:38] <iceroot> ikonia: ok then vbox is no issue
[09:38] <inkjetunit> hello. i installed 12.04/i386 non-pae and the installed kernel gets stuck on startup. any ideas?
[09:38] <saleem_> some package is missing
[09:39] <Chuck_Norris> saleem_: ok, paste: lsmod
[09:39] <ikonia> iceroot: I'm actually struggling to see an application limit in the PAE documentation
[09:39] <saleem_> Chuck_Norris, http://pastie.org/4066414
[09:40] <iceroot> ikonia: pae is 1.8gb imo for each process
[09:40] <ikonia> iceroot: where have you seen that documented (I'm struggling to find anything solid)
[09:40] <iceroot> ikonia: and i dont know what wine is doing with diablo3 (and its not working on amd64)
[09:40] <iceroot> ikonia: this torvalds pae sucks mailinglist
[09:41] <ikonia> iceroot: got to be honest, wine is not a solution you should depend on in my view, want to play windows games....user windows
[09:41] <ikonia> iceroot: ah, I'll check out that thread/list
[09:41] <Chuck_Norris> saleem_: try: modprobe rt2800usb
[09:41] <iceroot> ikonia: windows is never an option
[09:41] <iceroot> ikonia: for me
[09:41] <catmando> does anyone know how to change the logging level in dovecot?
[09:42] <ikonia> iceroot: well, you may have to live with the limitations then
[09:42] <iceroot> ikonia: so i guess a linux dual boot... with i386 for diablo and amd64 for the rest is the way to go
[09:42] <saleem_> ok Chuck_Norris and will this link help ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1566639
[09:42] <iceroot> s/i386/pae
[09:42] <ikonia> iceroot: if you are going to dual boot 2 linux distros to play a windows game...that seems backwards, you may as well dual boot a windows partition
[09:42] <Chuck_Norris> saleem_: sry: sudo modprobe rt2800usb
[09:42] <saleem_> yes  i did that Chuck_Norris
[09:42] <iceroot> ikonia: will you pay the windows licence and the av scanner?
[09:43] <ikonia> more so as it's harder to manage two linux distros in a dual boot enviornment than a linux/windows dual boot
[09:43] <iceroot> ikonia: :)
[09:43] <Chuck_Norris> could be
[09:43] <ikonia> iceroot: well, the windows baisc lincense is pretty much the cost of a game these days, and security essentials is free
[09:43] <ikonia> iceroot: seems silly to buy $50 games but refuse to pay the %50 needed to run these games stable, but that's your call
[09:44] <iceroot> ikonia: seems silly to install ubuntu when not everything from the hardware is working correctly (e.g. battery lifetime) instead of spending some money to get it full working... :)
[09:45] <ikonia> iceroot: it's not working, you can't use the applications/games you want
[09:45] <ikonia> iceroot: again, that's your call though,
[09:45] <acicula> re pae, not sure about 1.8GB, but windows splits memory 50/50 between user/kernel so userland in 4Gb is around 2Gb yeah
[09:45] <acicula> in linux the split is 75/25 i think?
[09:46] <iceroot> ikonia: but thanks, i will think about it
[09:46] <krababbel> why would you go 32bit now? acicula
[09:46] <krababbel> does it matter anymore?
[09:47] <acicula> krababbel: there is no reason to go 32bit now, unless for legacy reasons
[09:47] <iceroot> krababbel: because of this multiarch thing i cant use 32bit opengl libs on my system which are needed
[09:47] <iceroot> krababbel: my driver (bumblebee) has missing support for that on amd64
[09:47] <acicula> Bumblebee is an effort to make NVIDIA Optimus enabled laptops work in GNU/Linux systems.  Get a TCP Reset sent
[09:48] <c00p> running 'iptables -t nat -L -n -v' I see my NAT rule redirecting to TCP 22
[09:48] <ikonia> c00p: why are you natting to redirect a port
[09:49] <acicula> iceroot: honestly if you get it to work it is cumbersome to use by the looks of it, optimus does not mix well with ubuntu
[09:49] <ikonia> c00p: the guys in #netfilter should be able to help you out with your rules
[09:49] <c00p> this I need '/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward' to have a 1 in it
[09:49] <ikonia> c00p: you don't need to nat do redirect a port
[09:50] <Chuck_Norris> c00p: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[09:50] <c00p> Chuck_Norris: ta - just trying to work out if I need forwarding tho
[09:51] <drecute> sacarlson: no luck yet
[09:51] <krababbel> iceroot: since diablo 3 is opengl, maybe even a virtual machine could work, if you got pcie passthrough support, maybe
[09:51] <BBBum> hello
[09:51] <BBBum> oh
[09:51] <BBBum> it works
[09:51] <sacarlson> drecute: so taking out the lines in /etc/fstab fails to get it to boot?
[09:51] <Chuck_Norris> krababbel: diablo 3 runs on POL very well
[09:52] <drecute> yes
[09:52] <iceroot> Chuck_Norris: not on amd64 with optimus
[09:53] <Chuck_Norris> krababbel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1035201/
[09:53] <krababbel> Chuck_Norris: ah, so it seems just a optimus issue then.
[09:53] <Chuck_Norris> idk about optimus, the procesor and the GPU is the most important
[09:54] <angs> what is the command to restart network interfaces?
[09:54] <inkjetunit> is there a way to tell the kernel from bootloader to ignore some module on boot?
[09:54] <drecute> sacarlson: please do you know what else I can do to get out of this?
[09:54] <Chuck_Norris> so, use, the alternative to optimus i don't remember its name =P
[09:55] <fidel> optimus issues?
[09:55] <markitoxs> When I create a LVM volume on a drive, and then subsequently remove the drive from the system, everytime i make any lvm related command, ti tries to access the missing drive, stating that cant find the drive with UUID xxx, anyone knows how to get rid of these old references?
[09:56] <Chuck_Norris> i think nvidia was recently developing optimus for linux
[09:56] <sacarlson> drecute: I'm not sure what's stoping it from booting,  it's not mounting root?
[09:56] <Zally666> Rofl lvm
[09:56] <drecute> the error is: mounting /etc/auto.nfs on /root failed
[09:57] <Dr_Willis>  hmm. /root/ is the root users home dir.
[09:57] <Chuck_Norris> bumblebee is the alternative to optimus
[09:57] <Dr_Willis> why would that beed to be on a nfs share?
[09:58] <sacarlson> drecute: if /etc/fstab has nfs removed why should it care?
[09:58] <harsha> i have downloaded vlc but i cant install it
[09:58] <drecute> Dr_Willis: /root is not on nfs share
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> harsha:  why not use the  package manager tppls to install it? its in the repos
[09:58] <drecute> I don't have a mount for /home anywhere
[09:58] <dataphreak> Quick question, when i plug in a usb wifi nic, and a wlan1 interface is not made, do i have a card driver issue, or a usb problem? (LSUSB lists the card, and everything looks good)
[09:59] <harsha> no i cant
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> harsha:  why not? what did you download exactly:
[09:59] <harsha> i downloaded a .tz file
[09:59] <harsha> i extracted it but nothing happened
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> harsha:  so extract it and run the binaries inside.. but thats not the reccomended way...
[10:00] <Dotman14> Hello i'm getting this line while trying to install Ubuntu on my PC  (initramfs)
[10:00] <harsha> ok
[10:00] <krababbel> dataphreak: you could look 'ip link' to see if the ip interface is there I guess
[10:00] <Dotman14> Pls what should I do. Thanks
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> harsha:  what did yiou expect to happen when you extracted it?
[10:00] <dataphreak> krababbel: it's not. I have an onboard card in wlan0. It should go to wlan1, but ifconfig wlan1 says it doesn't exist.
[10:01] <harsha> i expected it to install like it happens in windows
[10:01] <harsha> i am new to linux
[10:01] <drecute> sacarlson: i suspect it not loading the new changes
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> harsha:  linux is not windows. You should be using the software center to install programs
[10:01] <harsha> yep
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> harsha:  not downloading  random files off the internets
[10:01] <Dotman14> I'm getting this line (initramfs) while installing ubuntu on my system
[10:01] <sacarlson> drecute: the new changes being what a different kernel?
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> harsha:  it may not even be a compiled bersion of vlc in the archive.
[10:02] <dataphreak> kraabbel: also of note, dmesg only posts 1 line when i plug it in, just listing that the device is connected.
[10:02] <Dotman14> Someone pls answer me
[10:02] <drecute> sacarlson: i meant the changes made to /etc/fstab and /etc/auto.master
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> Dotman14:   your info is a little.. lacking..  the whole line just says 'initramfs' and thats it?
[10:02] <dataphreak> dotman14: not much to go on.
[10:02] <sacarlson> drecute: remount the root and view it to verify it stuck
[10:03] <krababbel> dataphreak: sorry, don't know, I guess the driver module isn't loaded
[10:03] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Am back  - if you're still around. :-)
[10:03] <Dotman14> Dataphreal
[10:03] <drecute> sacarlson: from within gparted?
[10:03] <harsha> i opened terminal and typed vlc and it gave me a  link
[10:03] <Dotman14> (initramfs)
[10:04] <dataphreak> krababbel: is there a log i can check for errors?
[10:04] <lilstevie> (initramfs) is initramfs shell
[10:04] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: as they wrote the ssh with x11 fordwarding would be better
[10:04] <Dotman14> What should I type next to install Ubuntu?
[10:04] <lilstevie> read above it
[10:04] <lilstevie> to see what the error is
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> harsha:  why are noy not uing the software center to install vlc? or just do a 'sudo apt-get install vlc'
[10:04] <sacarlson> drecute: if your at gparted that must mean it booted then
[10:04] <krababbel> dataphreak: no idea, i am new here
[10:04] <lilstevie> will probably be something like not being able to find the root device
[10:04] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: As who wrote?
[10:04] <dataphreak> krababbel: i'm really leaning more towards a usb conflict than drivers. as far as i'm aware, it's not even trying to load drivers for the device.
[10:04] <harsha> i typed it but at last it gave me a eula document
[10:05] <Chuck_Norris> becouse you wont be able to see the ID and the password in the remote machin, and i don't find any command line that could give you that info
[10:05] <Chuck_Norris> i dont remember but someone worte it
[10:05] <krababbel> dataphreak: I haven't used wifi, or usb wifi yet
[10:05] <dataphreak> Ah.
[10:05] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: All right. So should we go down that route, then?
[10:05] <Chuck_Norris> didn't* find...
 was at last but i dont know what to do next
[10:06] <dataphreak> Anyone else have experience with the rtl8188ru chipset?
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> harsha:  we really have no clue what you extracxted or ran or are doing.
[10:06] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: How about trying to get x2go to work - coming back full circle here...
[10:06] <sacarlson> drecute: at what state of boot can you get to now? if your ad gparted is that from a live cd?
[10:06] <harsha> oh crap it is installing
[10:06] <Chuck_Norris> ye that's what i think but i don't remember right now how to do it, but i could check into my files for some walkthrough
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> harsha:  if its displaying some  ok button to press. use teb/space/enter to select it..
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> tab/space/enter
[10:07] <Chuck_Norris> idk about x2go
[10:07] <drecute> sacarlson: yes. from a live cd
[10:07] <harsha> yep i did it
[10:07] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: That would be super cool - and I'd be grateful for your help.
[10:07] <drecute> sacarlson: I'm currently within gparted
[10:07] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Been struggling to get something going.
[10:07] <harsha> i pressed tab and it worked
[10:08] <pratz> hey guys how can i disable beep sound in xterm ?
[10:08] <Dr_Willis> pratz:  xset -b off (i think)
[10:08] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: So we're gonna try ssh + X11 forwarding - right?
[10:08] <sacarlson> drecute: so your problem now is you can't mount nfs?
[10:09] <drecute> sacarlson: i guess so
[10:09] <sacarlson> drecute: oh didn't read the above note about live ced
[10:09] <sacarlson> cd
[10:09] <harsha> dr_Willis thanks for ur help
[10:09] <Chuck_Norris> ye, i know the command is: ssh -X...
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> harsha:  ive no idea why you are doing things the hard way
[10:09] <pratz> Dr_Willis: tried not working
[10:09] <harsha> coz i am new to linux
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> pratz:  it may be some other xset command..
[10:10] <Chuck_Norris> but let see... i think you have to configure ssh to allow X11 fordwarding
[10:10] <sacarlson> drecute: so viewing the /etc/fstab on your root failed to modify the removed nfs mounts?
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> harsha:  opening software center, and looking  for 'vlc' is rather easy
[10:10] <Chuck_Norris> let me* see...
[10:10] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: OK... :-)
[10:10] <drecute> sacarlson: after making changes I see no effect.
[10:11] <sacarlson> drecute: i don't care how you mount it,  if you prefer gparted to mount stuf
[10:11] <harsha> dr: willis  yep
[10:11] <drecute> it is still making reference to a file I have renamed
[10:11] <dataphreak> Anyone else have experience with the rtl8188ru chipset?
[10:11] <drecute> sacarlson: i renamed /etc/auto.nfs to /etc/auto.nfs2 and on reboot it is still making reference to /etc/auto.nfs
[10:12] <Merwin> Please, how can I search for files containing some text ? (GUI Please :)
[10:12] <wdp> hm i have ubuntu 12.something and i'm using it with unity. is it possible to add a bar at the bottom of the desktop, with all opened programs
[10:12] <sacarlson> drecute: so you didn't modify /etc/fstab?
[10:12] <wdp> if yes, how?
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> Merwin:  text IN the files? or file names?
[10:12] <drecute> sacarlson: I did
[10:12] <Merwin> Dr_Willis: test IN files
[10:12] <drecute> sacarlson: I did both
[10:12] <dataphreak> wdp: i could tell you how to do it with gnome, but not unity.
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> Merwin:  i think theres some gui tools in the reos for that. but i alwasy just use grep and tghe cli. ;)
[10:13] <sacarlson> drecute: I don't see any reference to that file /etc/auto.nfs  I'm not familer with it
[10:13] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: in the client and in the server make sure you have this lines: X11Forwarding yes     and    X11DisplayOffset 10
[10:13] <Merwin> Dr_Willis: I don't understand why Nautilus doesn't supports that -_-
[10:13] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: OK...But where?
[10:13] <Merwin> Sometime I just want to yell "Hey we are in 2012 ! Really guys?"
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> Merwin:  never notied,. or looked.. nautilus has scriptable  addons..
[10:13] <wdp> dataphreak, pretty sure it'll be the same. how do you do that in gnome? I've been using xfce4 for years, so i have really no clue about gnome
[10:13] <Merwin> ANyway, thanks... I'll search
[10:13] <drecute> sacarlson: i think autofs is making a reference to it
[10:13] <krababbel> wdp: gnome-shell is nice
[10:14] <Chuck_Norris> sey in: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[10:14] <Chuck_Norris> sry* xD
[10:14] <wdp> krababbel, well, i'd like to keep that weird thingy on the left on the desktop
[10:14] <krababbel> there is a bar at the side by default though wdp
[10:14] <harsha> guys i have a tata photon plus but it is not being dedected by ubuntu!! but it works fine with windows
[10:14] <wdp> yeah. but in addition i'd like one at the bottom :)
[10:14] <krababbel> wdp: there are extensions for gnome shell for the top bar for example
[10:14] <dataphreak> in gnome, the bars are customizable.
[10:14] <wdp> because the sidebar displays opened apps, though i have to scroll in the sidebar and opening an app by doing so takes years.
[10:15] <harsha> it is written as compatible with ubuntu
[10:15] <wdp> that's not made for fast clicking.
[10:15] <Kruptein> Hey does anyone know an app that can give me how much (internet/bandwith) data certain programs are using?   I can find a lot of apps that give total download/upload  but I want to find out for each process
[10:15] <krababbel> wdp: it is made for typing it seems, like unity
[10:15] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Roger that. Just checked. The lines exist both on the client and host.
[10:17] <jochen1727> hi all
[10:17] <drecute> sacarlson: i don't think I will ever have to upgrade to 12.04
[10:17] <wdp> pity.
[10:17] <Chuck_Norris> ye, restart the service as well
[10:17] <drecute> sacarlson: this seems like a big set back
[10:17] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Restart which service? And how do I restart a service?
[10:17]  * Dr_Willis likes the unity HUD feaature. ;) and quicklists
[10:17] <krababbel> wdp: do you have so many favourite apps in the side bar you have to scroll?
[10:17] <sacarlson> drecute: yup I'll stick with 10.04 and if I install 12.04 I'll never upgrade, I'll install it on a spare partition
[10:18]  * Kruptein feels the same as dr_willis
[10:18] <krababbel> wdp: you could try to reduce its size, so there is more room
[10:18] <Chuck_Norris> sudo service ssh restart   but only if you modified the configuration file
[10:18] <picochu> hi are there any german here?
[10:18] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: No - didn't modify anything at all. The lines already existed in both files.
[10:18] <morsnowski> Kruptein, tried nethogs ?
[10:18] <wdp> krababbel, seems so. Also i'm always working with a lot of apps. I wouldn't say i'm a power user, though some of my friends do. Working with like 70 terminals and lots of open browsers + development tools like eclipse is just normal for me.
[10:19] <Kruptein> morsnowski: not yet I'll check it :)
[10:19] <wdp> krababbel, for that, such a bar at the bottom would be really handy. i guess you can imagine.
[10:19] <Kruptein> morsnowski: it seems to be what I need yh thanks :)
[10:19] <morsnowski> welcome
[10:19] <Chuck_Norris> ok so don't restart the service just: ssh -X remote_user@remote_host
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> I really have to wonder whats in those 70 terminals.. ;)
[10:19] <sacarlson> drecute: I see this being someones fix Path:/to/share /mount/point nfs nfsvers=3,defaults 0 0  ;  using nfs version 3 instead of 4 but you now have it removed
[10:19] <drecute> yes
[10:19] <Chuck_Norris> or an application: ssh -X remote_user@remote_host firefox
[10:20] <krababbel> wdp: hm, I'd use something like wmii then, you can script that
[10:20] <sacarlson> drecute: so maybe we are looking at the wrong thing, maybe it's not nfs that stops it from reboot
[10:20] <krababbel> but that's keyboard controlled really wdp
[10:20] <drecute> sacarlson: is there no way to clear some cache or something
[10:20] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: I get ---> /usr/bin/xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/myUserName/.Xauthority
[10:20] <wdp> Dr_Willis, different stuff. welcome to multitasking :) a calculator here, a compile there, a chrooted environment there, a few man pages there, some vim here.. it sums up. Probably i should start using screen, but somehow i don't like it
[10:20] <inkjetunit> any ideas on what i could try to disable in order to get this one machine to boot? the non-pae kernel get stuck on boot. so far i've tried disabling acpi
[10:20]  * wdp shrugs
[10:20] <inkjetunit> gets
[10:21] <drecute> sacarlson: how do I debug that?
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> wdp:  been multitasking on my amiga since the 80's ;)
[10:21] <AdvoWork> I just tried a du -csh /opt/ and it pretty much grownded the server to a halt, also tried with -max-depth=1 same problem. Im trying to find out whats taking up the space on that location?
[10:21] <krababbel> wdp: or use workspaces to seperate and don't shutdown the maching
[10:21] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: can you login as root?
[10:21] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: On the server? Or client?
[10:21] <sacarlson> drecute: I have to assume if no mount in fstab that nfs isn't need,  what log can be view at boot time?  you have quiet turned off at boot?
[10:22] <krababbel> use standby instead
[10:22] <Kruptein> morsnowski: you perhaps also know a windows equivalent?  I already have the ubuntu one so you helped me enough already :)
[10:22] <Chuck_Norris> on the remote server
[10:22] <alien2601> q
[10:22] <morsnowski> Kruptein, no not really
[10:22] <Chuck_Norris> i meant if ssh allow you login as root
[10:22] <Kruptein> morsnowski: k thanks anyway
[10:22] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: I'm sure that I can su once I'm inside the server
[10:22] <drecute> sacarlson: i can't say if it's turned off
[10:23] <picochu> hi guys. I'm going to have a tech discussion with the dev team leader in germany, I'm just wondering if it is rude to address that person on a first name basis
[10:23] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: How do I test if I can login as root? I don't know.
[10:23] <spm_Draget> Using ubuntu-12.04 server with nfs-kernel-server and ubuntu-12.04 client where I am mounting my exported nfs directories. It works, except not for exports that export an already mounted directory. /home/foo is mounted on the server (it is an LVM) but the client mounts the rootfs under it (i.e. /home/foo from rootfs)
[10:23] <drecute> sacarlson: anyway for me to check on initramfs?
[10:23] <wdp> Dr_Willis, heh. My first box was an 80286. been 8 years old. 97' i've been the first time on internet, which is where i heard about linux. I think 99' or 00' i had my first tries using linux. in 03' i became a developer for a source based linux distribution, and now i'm taking a look at ubuntu for a few days - because i need some stuff fast, and source based doesn't give me that.
[10:23] <wdp> but, thats OT, sorry for that.
[10:23] <spm_Draget> How would I allow it to mount the on-the-server mounted fs?
[10:24] <wdp> so i guess there's no different solution than getting rid of unity (by using gnome classic)?
[10:24] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: ssh root@remote_host
[10:24] <cvr> wdp: tried xfce?
[10:24] <fstx> I just updated - now my 3g dongle doesn't work. modprobe usbserial just hangs.
[10:25] <sacarlson> drecute: you can look in /var/log/syslog
[10:25] <krababbel> wdp: just install gnome-shell and try it
[10:25] <wdp> cvr, i'm looking for a way to keep that unity-bar. xfce is what i'm used to. so i'd switch to that indeed.
[10:25] <drecute> not available in initramfs
[10:25] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: No, can't login as root. :-(
[10:25] <slikts> picochu: I'm not German, but it seems polite in the western world if you address a person directly to use their given name
[10:26] <slikts> picochu: I only know that in Asian countries it can be the opposite
[10:26] <cvr> wdp: the unity launcher or the top panel you are talking about?
[10:26] <wdp> picochu, i'm german -> if you don't know that person you'd use the lastname.
[10:26] <Chuck_Norris> idk about that issue seems like your user don't have permissions on xuthority, but... idk
[10:26] <sacarlson> drecute: you would have to modify the grub2 settings to turn of quiet from the kernel boot line,  that might at least tell you what worked,  I'm not sure what you see on your screen at boot
[10:27] <wdp> picochu, if you know him/her you can use the first name.
[10:27] <slikts> wdp: but isn't it too formal?
[10:27] <c00p> Chuck_Norris: can't use -i eth0:0 ... -d works :)
[10:27] <krababbel> slikts: just ask first
[10:27] <drecute> sacarlson: it's too fast. I can't grab anything
[10:27] <picochu> wdp This is our first meeting. So i guess it would be better if i use lastname?
[10:27] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: What now?
[10:27] <slikts> wdp: using the last name seems so formal that sometimes it's used to impart respect and show distance, like when teachers do it with students
[10:28] <krababbel> slikts: usually we do that since it's different than in english
[10:28] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: you could modify the "/etc/ssh/ssh_config" file and allow root to login
[10:28] <wdp> picochu, yes. he will offer you to use the first name if its fine for him.
[10:28] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Sorry but don't know how to do that...
[10:28] <Chuck_Norris> xD
[10:28] <krababbel> slikts: also last name just shows a little respect, nothing more
[10:28] <sacarlson> drecute: ya and can't be scrooled,  not much I can do with out data to see
[10:29] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: I don't know what the root password is.
[10:29] <picochu> wpd, danke sehr :P
[10:29] <slikts> krababbel: well okay, if you say so
[10:29] <krababbel> slikts: i am from austria :)
[10:29] <slikts> I know German a bit and I thought you were more free-wheeling
[10:29] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: but... if you don't have admins privilegies you couldn't modify anything =P
[10:29] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Ah I see - I'm still not sure what the difference between sudo and root is.
[10:29] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: I can certainly sudo things around.
[10:30] <krababbel> slikts: in english there is only you, but here we have a personla Du and a formal Sie, so it is a common separation, nothing to worry about
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> root is the super user that has all rights..
[10:30] <sacarlson> drecute: oh can you try boot single user rescue?
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> sudo let normal users do  rooty tasks
[10:30] <slikts> krababbel: I know, and it's also the same in my native language, since it's historically related to German
[10:30] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: Cool. Thank you for the explanation. :-)
[10:30] <Chuck_Norris> tey it if you want, once you login with ssh, just: nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config   and check that the line "PermitRootLogin" says "yes"
[10:31] <Chuck_Norris> try* it...
[10:31] <krababbel> slikts: you can ask if Du is alright, so first name would be alright. A generally relaxed person would be fine with that in an interview
[10:31] <drecute> sacarlson: trying
[10:32] <picochu> slikts, it's only polite to do so. just checking. Working with germans is interesting. They are very fastidious
[10:32] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: sry, sudo nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config    append yes to the line "PermitRootLogin"  save and exit then restart the service with: sudo service ssh restart
[10:32] <slikts> krababbel: yep, now when you mention it I realize it's also the same for my language, maybe I'm infected by Americanism :)
[10:32] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: I don't see this line in my server file ---> "PermitRootLogin"
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> Chuck_Norris:  sure  its not  sshd_config?
[10:32] <Chuck_Norris> ok then write it
[10:32] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Ah OK. Got it.
[10:32] <cvr> aLearner: why do you want to enable root login through ssh?
[10:33] <chukky> hello/?
[10:33] <wdp> picochu, you're welcome, if you want to know more, just pm me, as it's offtopic :)
[10:33] <drecute> sacarlson: isn't that the same as recovery mode?
[10:33] <aLearner> cvr: Trying to setup ssh + X11 forwarding...
[10:33] <Chuck_Norris> Dr_Willis: ye could be, in the $HOME but i think is the same
[10:33] <slikts> can caffeine make eyes explode?
[10:33] <ejo_> nearly
[10:33] <picochu> wdp I'm sorry. :P
[10:33] <krababbel> slikts: yes, unless you think a more personal mood would benefit your interview, a formal conversation would be fine for a first meet too :)
[10:34] <cvr> aLearner: you shouldnt need to enable root to login for that
[10:34] <chukky> hey im trying to install an RPM as its java but im having problems on using the stupid command line can someone give me some help or use remote desktop?
[10:34] <sacarlson> drecute: ya I didn't know what they call it in your grub version
[10:34] <aLearner> cvr: I don't know...I'm listening to Chuck_Norris. Perhaps Chuck_Norris has the answer to that question?
[10:34] <Chuck_Norris> *don't tell nobody that is free*
[10:34] <ikonia> chukky: don't install / try to install rpm
[10:34] <ikonia> rpm's
[10:34] <picochu> slikts i guess that would apply to the french too? Since I will be having another meeting with the montreal team shortly after.
[10:34] <slikts> krababbel: I guess it's also related to whether it's a peer or someone higher up the social ladder, like a president; in that case I'd surely use "Mr. Lastname" and "Sie"
[10:35] <slikts> picochu: I don't know any French unfortunately :)
[10:35] <ikonia> chukky: don't install / try to install rpm's on ubuntu
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> PermitRootLogin is in sshd_config
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> and really shouldent be  enabled i would think. :)
[10:36] <cvr> enabling root to login via ssh is not a good idea
[10:36] <aLearner> cvr: OK...
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> and shouldent be needed anyway
[10:36] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: Thank you.
[10:36] <cvr> the root account isnt even enabled by default anyway
[10:36] <aLearner> I'm trying to get X11 working over ssh
[10:36] <aLearner> and Chuck_Norris here was helping me out.
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  local lan or internet?
[10:36] <Chuck_Norris> oh! ye is in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config"
[10:37] <cvr> aLearner: have u had a look at the wiki? there is a page on X11forwarding
[10:37] <Chuck_Norris> and for security reason don't should be enable, but for a while its ok
[10:37] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: Internet - I need to be able to view the other machine's deskop.
[10:38] <aLearner> cvr: I tried to install x2go and things didn't work out. I can reconstruct that scene if you'd like.
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  ssh wont show the wole desktop. but let you forward specific apps to the  local box if it  has a x server.
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> never heard of x2go ;)
[10:38] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: Maybe that'll work too. Viewing the whole desktop may be easier but what you described above should also work. Also, I'm on dial-up. So things are very slow.
[10:39] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Where do we stand?
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> dial up showing  a single app - would be faster then showing the HWOLE desktop
[10:39] <Chuck_Norris> idk xD
[10:39] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: Roger that.
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  what app are you  needing to  use fromt eh remote?
[10:39] <chukky> how do i install javas rpm its keeps telling me i have alien but i already to and or i could convert to a .deb
[10:39] <ikonia> chukky: you shouldn't try to install rpm's
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> chukky:  you  dont use tje java rpm
[10:39] <fidel> chukky: rpm isnt for ubuntu
[10:39] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: Haven't thought of the whole gamut but to begin with Firefox would be nice.
[10:39] <DJones> chukky: rpm's are not for Ubuntu
[10:39] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: Funny. :-)
[10:39] <ikonia> chukky: they are designed for a redhat system
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  firefox is special  if you try to run it over ssh, without  the right options it can run the LOCAL  firefox insteead
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  and i  cant really imagine why you  need to run firefox remotely
[10:40] <chukky> ok can you tell me how i can install java on it im on PEAR OS which is a ubuntu distro that uses .deb files
[10:40] <picochu> krababbel: but in american context. Getting too formal may give people a negative impression.
[10:40] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: Now that's strange.
[10:40] <michyubuntu> dpkg -i *.deb for debian/ubuntu
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:   firefox is special :)
[10:41] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: Just trying to look at a database visually - and want to look at the database using phpMyAdmin.
[10:41] <ikonia> chukky: we don't support pear OS here
[10:41] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: once you are login with: ssh -X remote_user@remote_server   just execute any aplication for example: firefox
[10:41] <ikonia> chukky: pear OS has it's own support resources, I suggest contacting them
[10:41] <picochu> krababbel: It is a tech company so i don't know which culture will supersede, startup informal culture or the more reserved german culture
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  i forget the details once..  but we had some people fighting  with fireffox specifically
[10:41] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: All right.
[10:41] <Chuck_Norris> and you will be running the remote firefox in the client side
[10:41] <aLearner> Just looking for a solution that is simple enough to use.
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  get xterm working first.. then try other  apps
[10:41] <sveinse> I have a machine with static IP, and I've added dns entries to the interfaces file. Can I reload the network config from remote ssh without killing any ongoing connections?
[10:42] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: How do I get xterm working? Never used it before.
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  i just ssh willis@remotebox  then run the apps
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> so  id run 'xterm &' and got a local xterm, thats running on the remote
[10:42] <aLearner> Chuck_Norris: I've tried that and it's SOOOO slow...
[10:42] <chukky> pear os has .debian packages that is made by a ubuntu distro
[10:43] <cvr> aLearner: dialup will do that to you
[10:43] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: I think I tried that and it doesn't work - lemme try that.
[10:43] <aLearner> cvr: That's all I have. :-(
[10:43] <ikonia> chukky: it's not ubuntu - we only support ubuntu here
[10:43] <ikonia> chukky: the pear website has it's support methods listed
[10:43] <krababbel> picochu: here too actually, I address older people formally out of habit, it is kind of a running joke, when you get out of school and how to address others. :) I think usually you start formally out of habit in school, where we address teachers formally, at least were I went. The worst are the people who insist that you adress them using their scholar title, as an adult.
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> PearOS is not 'ubuntu' however. and lat i  looked into pearos.. the company was somewhat.. well.. seemed shady :)
[10:43] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: ye,  maybe the internet connection isn't good enough
[10:44] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: This is what I get with xterm& ---> xterm Xt error: Can't open display:  xterm:  DISPLAY is not set
[10:44] <cvr> aLearner: why dont you use a text based browser on the remote machine then?
[10:44] <MediaWork> hi
[10:44] <aLearner> cvr: I'd like a visual representation of the database.
[10:44] <MediaWork> ehm Im trying to write data to a computer through samba
[10:44] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  so  you  either have forwarding turned off. or  need to run the ssh-agent. whioch should be running automatically
[10:44] <aLearner> cvr: It's just easier to see things...
[10:44] <krababbel> picochu: a president would be a special case, being a highly known repesentative :)
[10:44] <MediaWork> and also get mine to be visible on that other computer (Windows Vista)
[10:44] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  yyou are on a Linux machine? sshed to another linux box?
[10:44] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: What do you suggest I type next?
[10:45] <MediaWork> seems it dont work well out of the box
[10:45] <cvr> aLearner: ahhh so what you want todo is connect to this network and see a server on that lan?
[10:45] <picochu> krababbel:  most certanly
[10:45] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: Yes - exactly. I'm on 11.10 and that one is on 12.04.
[10:45] <picochu> krababbel: oh well :P. It's nice to have heads up from the natives.
[10:45] <krababbel> picochu: np :)
[10:45] <aLearner> cvr: Yes, that is right.
[10:45] <cvr> aLearner: ssh port forwarding is what you want
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  the remote servers ssh service must allow x forwarding. that would be aa setting in its /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[10:45] <aLearner> cvr: OK...and how do I set that up? :-?
[10:46] <krababbel> picochu: I guess social 'class' differces are borderless still
[10:46] <Dr_Willis> X forwarding and port forwarding - 2 very diffent fetures of ssh. ;)
[10:46] <Dr_Willis> but intertwined. ;)
[10:46] <cvr> aLearner: so you can connect to the remote IP via your local copy of firefox on a specific port and it'll forward that to the server you're trying to access
[10:46] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: I have this line ---> X11Forwarding yes
[10:47] <aLearner> cvr: Hmm - not sure what you're saying. :-/
[10:48] <cvr> aLearner: read this page, too much to explain on the subject https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/PortForwarding
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  try ssh -X user@remote
[10:48] <MediaWork> invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/samba not found.
[10:48] <benedikt> I have a desktop with two monitors, connected with HDMI and VGA (intel i7 graphics). When the HDMI monitor goes to sleep (on lock or when the screens timeout or i shut it off manually), it doesn't wake up again. Any ideas?
[10:48] <Chuck_Norris> aLearner: maybe is the delay (the ping)
[10:48] <picochu> krababbel: anyway I'll be flying to dusseldorf after the meeting. Hopefully there's enough time to go south to bavaria
[10:48] <cvr> Dr_Willis: he has a slow connection and using X11forwarding isnt the best option for him to accomplish what he wants
[10:48] <Chuck_Norris> the could cause lag
[10:49] <Chuck_Norris> and you will see like a really bad internet connection
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> cvr:  i cant even understand why nhe wants to forward  a browser gui. ;) a  proxy would  be easier.
[10:49] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: This is what I get ---> /usr/bin/xauth:  /home/vinit/.Xauthority not writable, changes will be ignored
[10:49] <aLearner> cvr: OK. Thanks.
[10:50] <cvr> Dr_Willis: the port forwarding will do the same thing for him
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  well you need to  decide what it is you  want  to try to acomplish. forard/proxy a loccal  port to allow you to run a LOCAL browser and have it tunnleed through the remote box.. or X forward a gui app from the remote box
[10:51] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: I don't know enough to tell the two apart.
[10:51] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: That's the truth.
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> aLearner:  we dont really know why you are trying to do all this..,
[10:53] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: Let me explain. I have a database that I'm running on the server. Rather than guess what it's contents look like, I'd like to install phpMyAdmin and view the contents - just like I do on my client. It's easier to see things than guess how they look. I want to make sure my program is writing the right things to the database. A visual check is easy to do.
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> and theres some reasonn your local browser cant connect to the remote server?
[10:54] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: I didn't know this option existed.
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> browsers connect to remote servers.. thts what they do...
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> some just happen to be local ;))
[10:55] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: Right.. :-)
[10:55] <cvr> aLearner: is the remote server web accessable or only via the lan?
[10:55] <aLearner> cvr: It's accessible only via the internet.
[10:55] <devxdev> is the Qt framework installed by default in 12.04? and if so where is the install dir?
[10:56] <Dr_Willis> devxdev:  i dont think it is.
[10:56] <cvr> aLearner: is the database server the same one you're connecting to with ssh?
[10:56] <aLearner> cvr: Yes, that is correct.
[10:56] <devxdev> Dr_Willis: thanks
[10:56] <cvr> aLearner: ahhhh! just open port 80 in your router and connect to the remote IP then
[10:57] <aLearner> cvr: Um, so how do I do that?
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> he said  it was allready accessable  via the internet..  so  im not  sure whats going on....
[10:57] <cvr> aLearner: same way you opened port 22 for ssh
[10:57] <aLearner> cvr: Not sure I remember opening a port specifically.
[10:58] <aLearner> cvr: I just typed in ssh -l blah and I was able to connect to the remote server...
[10:58] <vmachine> how do i get ubutu to boot in recovery mode in vmware im holding down the shift key but thats not working
[10:58] <cvr> aLearner: just goto your local copy of firefox and plugin the servers address then
[10:58] <aLearner> cvr: OK...Trying that.
[10:59] <vvompy> hi, is there any possibility to use my ubuntu on an x86 to route RaspPI->eth0->wlan0->internet ?
[10:59] <phanindraramesh_> I have a ttf font. it is buggy. Fontviewer couldnot install the font. I want to know the reason why it is not getting installed. for that is there any command line tool for installation of the font??
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> !ics | phanindraramesh
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> oops that was for vvompy
[10:59] <vvompy> got it;)
[10:59] <vvompy> thanks
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh_:  i just copy mine to my .fonts directory ;)
[11:00] <phanindraramesh_> Dr_Willis, if I do so. Will I be able to find out the reason why it is not getting installed?
[11:01] <aLearner> cvr: Just seems to say 'connecting' forever...
[11:01] <aLearner> cvr: Nothing happening via Chrome either.
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh_:  no idea. try to load it and see if it works.  ive never tried any other  'installers' for ttf fonts.
[11:01] <cvr> aLearner: what port is the web interface to the database listening on? are u connecting to that port?
[11:02] <aLearner> cvr: I really don't know.
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh_:  you could run fontviewer from a terminal, and try to load/install the font and look for error messages in the terminal
[11:02] <aLearner> cvr: Let me see if I can spend more time thinking about this and get back on here.
[11:02] <aLearner> cvr: Thank you for your help.
[11:02] <aLearner> Dr_Willis: Thank you for your time.
[11:02] <|Long|> god morning folks, I need some help here plz

[11:03] <|Long|> what did I do wrong there
[11:03] <aLearner> Looks like I might benefit from some reading...
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> |Long|:  try the 'unp' command.  ;)
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> !info unp
[11:03] <cvr> aLearner: np, good luck
[11:03] <phanindraramesh_> Dr_Willis, what is the command to run fontviewer from a terminal?
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> |Long|:  and it may be xzvf
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh_:  no idea.
[11:03] <|Long|> Dr_Willis, thanks
[11:04] <portable> localhost
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> |Long|:  and it could be that archive is bad,
[11:05] <|Long|> Dr_Willis, i d/led 3 times
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> |Long|:  look for md5sums. could be the copy on the server is bad.
[11:05] <phanindraramesh_> Dr_Willis, gnome-font-viewer worked for me
[11:06] <fidel> phanindraramesh_: charmap might be a similar approach - but nice that you found the right name
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> linux and its tricky binary names ;)
[11:07]  * Dr_Willis spent way to much time  looking  for the name of the 'handbreak' gui  binary name once...

[11:08] <AdvoWork> I just tried a du -csh /opt/ and it pretty much grownded the server to a halt, also tried with -max-depth=1 same problem. Im trying to find out whats taking up the space on that location?
[11:10] <cvr> AdvoWork: are there tons of files in there?
[11:10] <Devilz> I am having some problems with the squid on my pc can anyone help me a bit plz?

[11:12] <Devilz> ubottu: plz send again
[11:12] <fidel> !details > Devilz
[11:13] <Devilz> fidel: I just installed squid on my ubuntu
[11:13] <fidel> Devilz: please talk to the channel and dont focus on me - thanks ;)
[11:13] <Devilz> i need to make changes in squid.confi file to set squid according to my need right?
[11:14] <xukun> is't possible change 0060B9EE844A to 00-60-B9-EE-84-4A? it's a long file with mac addresses
[11:14] <|Long|> Dr_Willis, I installed unp but tis cmd doesn't work can you help? i have remote shared desktop runing
[11:14] <Devilz> I am not able to make changes to the squid.confi file?
[11:15] <Devilz> It says u dont have the permission :(
[11:15] <fidel> Devilz: you might need to use sudo
[11:15] <Devilz> fidel: sudo is to install squid right?
[11:15] <Devilz> I have succesfully installed squid
[11:15] <fidel> Devilz: no
[11:15] <cvr> xukun: mv 0060B9EE844A 00-60-B9-EE-84-4A
[11:16] <Devilz> fidel: then?
[11:16] <xukun> cvr, it's a with 100 different mac's. I don't that will work
[11:16] <fstx_> I just updated, and motheboard usb broke. 3.0 add-in card still works. nForce 430 chipset
[11:17] <fidel> Devilz: to be honest - you should try to understand before you blindly execute commands
[11:17] <xukun> cvr, a file ..
[11:17] <Devilz> fidel: :P i used sudo apt-get install squid
[11:17] <fidel> Devilz: so understanding what sudo is & is used for might make sense before youz continue trying to setup squid - but thats just my point of view
[11:17] <fidel> Devilz: yep - that installed squid
[11:17] <cvr> xukun: what exactly are u trying todo? rename a file?
[11:17] <Devilz> yup i used sudo for that only
[11:18] <Devilz> i googled about it. to setup squid i need to make changes to the squid.confi file ryt?
[11:18] <fidel> Devilz: personaly i would suggest you start with 'man sudo' in terminal to understand sudo ... then use it to edit the permission-protected file
[11:19] <djdan2k8> hi just wondering i desperatly need php 5.2 on my server ( i know the risks) if i install php 5.2 on my clean vps with Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" installed and then install plesk panel 10 would it overwrite the php 5.2
[11:19] <fidel> Devilz: then restart the squid-service and check if it works as you think you have it configured
[11:19] <xukun> cvr, no I want that all the mac addresses are shown like this 0060B9EE844A to like this 00-60-B9-EE-84-4A
[11:19] <Djzylex> anybody know how to make it so unity starts up when my computer does for some reason it doesnt i can type unity in the term and it will come on but at startup there something i can do

[11:33] <reels> Hi, my linux system hangs after a large partition (3TB)  is formated as jfs. Partition table type = gpt.  Any hints why this happens ?
[11:34] <cvr> reels: check your logs
[11:35] <reels> cvr, /var/log/syslog ?
[11:35] <cvr> reels: try there first
[11:36] <oooaaaoooo> hi guys im trying to get tp_smapi module loaded on startup via sysfsutils and am following : http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi#Making_the_settings_permanent_on_reboot  but it doesnt do the trick. What am I doing wrong
[11:36] <reels> cvr, I dont see anything interesting there.
[11:37] <cvr> reels: are you manually formatting it from the commandline or using a gui tool?
[11:38] <reels> cvr, manually. mkfs.jfs
[11:38] <cvr> reels: and there is no output on the commandline? just hangs?
[11:39] <reels> cvr, the format completes successfully. Then, the machine freezes.
[11:40] <bulk> is it possible to open a subtitle file in vlc with the terminal whilst the film is running? i know ist is possible when i open film + subtitle at the same time, but i couldn't figure out how to add the subtitle.
[11:40] <cvr> reels: and the drive has been successfully formated? so you shouldnt have an issue now?
[11:42] <reels> cvr, it is a test system at work. So, this has to be automatted without freezes. I am looking for the cause of this freeze.
[11:42] <d8bhatta> hi, how can I merge two drives into one using gparted?
[11:44] <reels> cvr, also the partition cannot be mounted now. "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on"
[11:44] <cvr> reels: does it exhibit the same behaviour when you try format a different physical disk?
[11:44] <colin_> Hello folks. I have a question about my external hdd. No I'm queasy about fast paced IRC.
[11:45] <reels> cvr, even the same disk formats successfully (and could be mounted) if the partition is smaller, say 500GB. Other disks (smaller) dont have problems.
[11:46] <colin_> So here's the story: I plugged in my external HDD via 1394 into my Xubuntu laptop to retrieve my files & organize the data. Unfortunately I can't yet access the drive contents yet _
[11:46] <cvr> reels: tried running badblocks on the drive?
[11:46] <colin_> Let me explain further _
[11:46] <reels> cvr, when mounting this jfs formatted 3TB partition, it fails and dmesg shows "FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors"
[11:48] <michyubuntu> hi, ubuntu with ATI HD 4330 support YPbPr? How to?
[11:48] <reels> cvr, earlier tried formatting the partition as ext4; I was able to mount the partition after restart (the box frooze after format)
[11:48] <reels> cvr, so I dont think it is badblock on disk that causes the problem
[11:49] <cvr> reels: sounds like a hardware issue with the disk then? if you can successfully do what your looking todo at the start of the disk but not at the end
[11:50] <colin_> So I keyed in at the command line << dmesg | less >> scrolled to the end of the output, found out << invalid partition table >> So how do I bring back the data that's on the hdd? Without destroying the files.
[11:50] <Sidewinder1> d8bhatta, Merge two 'drives', or two partitions?
[11:50] <colin_> It's formatted fat32. Reformatting isn't an option 'cos there are files on it. Plugged it in via 1394. Thanks for any answer.
[11:50] <d8bhatta>  Sidewinder1:  two partitions
[11:51] <reels> cvr, sorry did not get you. Both tries (ext4, jfs) was done the complete disk.
[11:51] <colin_> How do I fix up the << invalid partition table >> on my 1394 connected hard disk drive?
[11:51] <adamk> michyubuntu: With the device plugged in, check the output of 'xrandr' and see if the monitor/tv is listed.  If not, you may want to ask on #radeon
[11:52] <oooaaaoooo> hi guys i have a module "tp_smapi" that i would like to add to boot, how should i do this in 12.04
[11:52] <reels> cvr,  Why do you think it is a hardware issue ? I am able to create and use smaller partitions without any problem.
[11:52] <colin_> What does << invalid partition table >> actually mean?
[11:52] <adamk> michyubuntu: (Assuming, of course, you are using the open source drivers).
[11:52] <vmassuchetto> I'm having the following error while trying to update. Any hints? http://pastebin.com/NiMCvLG4
[11:53] <colin_> Should I go to #xubuntu instead since my laptop uses this Ubuntu variant?
[11:53] <Pici> colin_: its not really xubuntu specific, and you'll find that #ubuntu is a lot more active than #xubuntu
[11:53] <colin_> Still waiting for an answer.
[11:54] <cvr> reels: thats my point, the whole disk formatted with either partition type fails, but a smaller partition doesnt, create a number of partitions on the disk to fill it then format them all separately and see ifyou run into problems with any of them individually
[11:54] <Sidewinder1> d8bhatta, Then, just make sure that you've saved/backed-up any data on both partitions that you don't want to loose; delete the second one and grow/resize the first. As I said back-up both partitions in case something goes wrong, certainly all data on the deleted partition will be deleted.
[11:55] <reels> cvr, okay.
[11:55] <colin_> Pici: thanks for the desktop enviro related info. Now I need info about my << invalid partition table >> solved with my 1394 HDD.
[11:55] <tol> colin_: means your hdd is damaged
[11:56] <tol> colin_: try booting a live image and run  fsck
[11:56] <colin_> Anyone out here: what does << invalid partition table >> mean?
[11:57] <colin_> tol: What do you mean that << invalid partition table >> means a damaged HDD? How do I fix it up?
[11:57]  * ejo blinks
[11:57] <compdoc> colin_, was it working until now?
[11:58] <colin_> compdoc: what are you talking about?
[11:58] <tol> colin_: means that somehow your partition table got corrupted
[11:58] <coolpro> hello, how to open ADOC  (Authentica Secure Office encoded Word document file) on Ubuntu?
[11:58] <colin_> compdoc: my 1394 connected HDD is suffering from << invalid partition table >> so how do I fix it? Where do I need to go for info?
[11:59] <colin_> tol: my 1394 connected HDD is suffering from << invalid partition table >> so how do I fix it? Where do I need to go for info?
[11:59] <compdoc> colin_, oh. I dont use 1394 or usb drives
[11:59] <cvr> reels: you're not using MBR are you?
[12:00] <reels> cvr, gpt
[12:00] <colin_> Reformatting isn't an option. What do I need resolve my HDD corruption and retrieve the files?
[12:00] <xukun> cvr, sed 's/../&-/g; s/-$//' file.txt was wat I needed. Thanks for your help
[12:00] <colin_> cvr: no I'm no way using MBR. The drive is data only.
[12:00] <cvr> reels: ok thats alright thought u would have been
[12:00] <cvr> xukun: np
[12:01] <tol> colin_: maybe this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1192598 can help you
[12:01] <colin_> tol: I'll look at it.
[12:01] <compdoc> colin_, external drives depend on the power supply and th controller inside the little case. If it were me, Id open it up and attach the drive directly to a working system and examine the drive
[12:01] <tol> colin_: have you changed the partition table in the last days?
[12:02] <colin_> compdoc: my Xubuntu is a laptop. Thus USB and 1394 are the only connection option available to me. Sorry.
[12:02] <tol> compdoc: but can a corrupted controler produce a partition table warning?
[12:03] <compdoc> tol, maybe not, but its a good idea to elminate the cable, psu, and controller
[12:03] <colin_> Perhaps I ought to give this discussion a rest and look at the assistance page tol has pointed me to.
[12:03] <gunther> Can I come here for help with my graphics driver?
[12:03] <colin_> what's sfdisk?
[12:04] <DJones> gunther: Ask your question, if people can help, they'll reply
[12:04] <kroonrs> gunther: I probably can't help you, but you can def. ask your question here
[12:06] <colin_> I want to give this discussion a rest. However since I'm accessing via browser how do I quit this IRC?
[12:06] <Pici> colin_: close the tab.

[12:06] <gunther> I've been having some trouble with Ubuntu 12.04 minimal install running an amd mobility 4250. It will hang on splash screen when I try running startx, it gives me a warning saying that it couldn't find a matching device section.
[12:08] <vean> hi
[12:09] <ejo> How do I get Empathy to stop showing contacts who are currently unavailable in my contact list window?  There are so many that it moves the display of my next group of contacts (including some available ones) far off the display.
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> moo
[12:09] <cvr> ejo: view->uncheck show offline contacts
[12:10] <ejo> oh VIEW.  I was looking in preferences, and right-clicking everywhere to try to find a context menu option.  Thanks!
[12:10] <cvr> np
[12:10] <reels> cvr, created multiple small partitions to file the disk and then formatted each without any problem. Do you still think its a hardware bug ?
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> actually with the HUD. you might have been able to hit 'alt' then 'view' or 'cont' and it may hae showed the item. :)
[12:11] <kyan> hi… I made a custom Ubuntu dvd image with Remastersys and then tried to make a flash drive of it with Unetbootin. Unfortunately I'm getting the error "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error<kyan>	Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs". I tried what http://www.hacktohell.org/2011/07/fixing-can-not-
[12:11] <kyan> mo
[12:11] <kyan> unt-devloop0-while.html suggests, but it didn't work… :( any advice? (sorry for the long question)
[12:11] <cvr> reels: doesnt sound like it then, how long have u left the machine for sitting "locked up"? can you sys rq out of it?
[12:12] <ikonia> kyan: you'll find it's because squash fs is compressed and you need to decrompress it
[12:12] <kyan> hmm. I need to do that manually at the initramfs prompt?
[12:13] <Sidewinder1> Where/which file to amend to eliminate password requirement after screen-saver has been initiated? 12.04.
[12:13] <kyan> ikonia: I figured the mount command it runs automatically (which was generating the error) would handle decompressing it for me, but I guess not :P
[12:13] <reels> cvr, left the "locked up" system for a minute at the max and then hard-rebooted it. I did not understand "sys rq" ?
[12:13] <ikonia> initfamfs won't be able to use squashfs as I recall (I'm not %100 certain)
[12:14] <tol> compdoc: yes, you are right
[12:15] <kyan> ikonia: ohhh? I thought problems like this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1598415 (happening within the initramfs) would indicate otherwise, but ok :P
[12:16] <ikonia> kyan: it could well be, I don't think so, but that doesn't mean I'm right
[12:16] <kyan> ikonia: that basically looks like the problem I'm having, except with a cd. Ironically the proposed solution is using unetbootin :D
[12:16] <cvr> reels: is it possible it was still working on the partition in that time? or its returned you to the command prompt? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
[12:16] <kyan> ikonia: well you've probably got way more experience and knowledge than me anyway ^.^
[12:17] <ikonia> kyan: I'm rusty with this, but I do remember having similar issues when I first started looking after a different distro's livecd
[12:17] <reels> cvr, mkfs returned to the command prompt with a success message.
[12:17] <Kano> hi apw
[12:17] <apw> hi
[12:17] <LoboX> sup all
[12:17] <Kano> apw: whats the reason that 64 bit kernels are build against libc6 2.14 and the 32 bit ones against libc6 2.11?
[12:18] <apw> Kano, no idea, sounds wrong
[12:18] <tol> gunther: try adding "nomodeselect" to the GRUB command line, if that helps its a driver issue and you shold consider to reinstall the driver
[12:18] <kyan> ikonia: hmm. well I think I had this problem once before with a cd, but I think it was just a bad disc or something (obvious, logical fix!)
[12:18] <Kano> i would perfer 2.11 for all
[12:18] <rouge_killer97> any ideas on this issue? http://askubuntu.com/questions/149317/ubuntu-black-screen-and-icons-messed-up-12-04
[12:18] <kyan> ikonia: unfortunately, this isn't making any sense at all to me this time :D
[12:18] <Kano> ok, that wont work for newer systems, but 2.14 is too new for wheezy
[12:19] <kyan> rouge
[12:19] <Kano> 2.13 would be ok as well, then i could use the kernels for wheezy
[12:19] <Kano> 2.11 for squeeze
[12:19] <rouge_killer97> yes kyan?
[12:19] <kyan> rouge_killer97: compiz problem/bum drivers>?
[12:19] <Kano> 2.14 too new
[12:19] <rouge_killer97> not sure i suspect my drivers are all messed
[12:20] <apw> Kano, i don't have wheezy chroots to build them in
[12:20] <Kano> well but you dont need something with libc 2.14..
[12:20] <Kano> i dont get why u has got newer libc6 than debian
[12:20] <Kano> just to make packages incompatible?
[12:20] <kyan> rouge_killer97: I had a similar issue (messed-up window decorations, black patches on the screen, hitchy rendering) when trying to use 3d accelleration with the xorg-edgers ppa on a via integrated graphics chip
[12:21] <apw> Kano, because ubunt moves forward faster, blazes the trail for debian ?
[12:21] <rouge_killer97> kyan, i havent changed anything since i updated
[12:21] <Kano> apw: oneric or natty chroot would be 2.13
[12:21] <rouge_killer97> 11.10 worked fine before
[12:21] <Kano> lucid 2.11
[12:21] <kyan> rouge_killer97: I had to add a real video card to get the 3d to work…
[12:21] <apw> Kano, and those kernels arnt for those releases of ubuntu
[12:22] <apw> so unsupprisingly they arn't made for them
[12:22] <kyan> rouge_killer97: oh weird. I don't know then. Sorry :(
[12:22] <apw> they are made for the LTS before the release
[12:22] <Kano> apw: and why are the 32 bit ones for natty and the new ones for precise/quantal?
[12:22] <apw> Kano, they shouldn't be, they should all be for the LTS before the release they are in
[12:23] <Kano> lts is too new for debian...
[12:23] <apw> if any are behind, it is more likely a chroot issue
[12:23] <apw> yes and they arn't for debian, they are what we need
[12:23] <Kano> but nobody uses em for ubuntu
[12:23] <Kano> or did anybody notice the libc6 differences?
[12:23] <apw> ok then i should stop making them
[12:23] <kyan> ikonia: interesting… I'll try this now: http://inputvalidation.blogspot.com/2012/02/installing-backtrack-on-usb-mounting.html
[12:24] <kyan> ikonia: looks a lot like my problem.
[12:24] <ikonia> kyan: lets see how you get on
[12:24] <Kano> can you give me the scripts used to build?
[12:24] <apw> kyan, iirc as they real kernel doesn't use the libc dep it deps on you can just strip them
[12:24] <apw> Kano, eve
[12:24] <kyan> ikonia: k ^.^
[12:24] <rouge_killer97> they said there may be problems if you have any i386 packages on 11.10 when updating on a 64bit system?
[12:25] <apw> Kano, i have pointed you to the scripts every time you have asked this, they are in our kteam-tools repository in the mainline builds
[12:25] <apw> mainline-builds sub directory
[12:25] <Kano> ah
[12:25] <Kano> i did no bookmark em i think...
[12:25] <kyan> ikonia: no go :(
[12:26] <apw> Kano, but iirc you simply removed the libc dep anyhow in previous cases
[12:26] <Kano> that does not work for 2.14
[12:26] <Kano> i can not compile any external module
[12:26] <Samsai> rouge_killer97: i suggest you try to re-install ubuntu
[12:26] <apw> and that depedancy is why we have to build them in the nearer chroots in the first place
[12:27] <ikonia> kyan: didn't think so, but it was worth trying
[12:27] <rouge_killer97> samsai i may have to its a pretty weird error
[12:28] <kyan> ikonia: I wonder if it needs to be fat32…
[12:29] <Samsai> rouge_killer97: it sure is, i have never encountered problem like that in ubuntu
[12:29]  * abogani waves all
[12:29] <Sidewinder1> Where/which file to amend to eliminate password requirement after screen-saver has been initiated? 12.04. TIA.
[12:29] <abogani> Could anyone could pinpoint me to the right documentations which explains how "adopt" a package in universe, please?Thanks in advance!
[12:29] <kyan> ikonia: I did it in fat16
[12:30] <rouge_killer97> well if anyone wants any more details message me
[12:31] <ryao> I just debootstrapped Ubuntu 10.04 in a chroot. I am trying to run the apt-get command from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/17564-tutorial-so-you-want-to-build-aokpics-for-the-toro, but it fails saying "E: Couldn't find package libwxgtk2.6-dev". Does anyone know why?
[12:32] <ryao> Actually, it looks like that package was deleted...
[12:32] <Volkswagner> greetings
[12:34] <Volkswagner> I'm administering a server in my shed (pool music server) via ssh over wifi, the connection can be spotty, I want to run updates/upgrades but don't want failure in middle
[12:35] <Volkswagner> if I run apt-get update, will running apt-get upgrade -d download all the packages that should be upgraded?
[12:35] <cvr> Volkswagner: run it inside a screen session
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> Volkswagner:  learn to use screen/byobu
[12:35] <ryao> Which package contains add-apt-repository?
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> !find add-apt-repository
[12:36] <Volkswagner> cvr & Dr_Willis, thanks yes screen will help for the ssh session, but not when the machine drops off the network
[12:37] <Volkswagner> when it drops off the network, I need to power off and on, since it is headless
[12:37] <cvr> Volkswagner: it doesnt auto reconnect to the network?
[12:37] <wddas> hello?
[12:37] <Volkswagner> Basically how can I make sure all the packages download locally before running the installation?
[12:38] <Volkswagner> cvr, it has not auto-connected.... it is a crappy card with drivers not in mainline
[12:38] <cvr> Volkswagner: yeh the -d flag will download the packages but not apply them
[12:38] <Kano> apw: is that a valid rsa key in your readme?
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> Volkswagner:  its crashing you mean?
[12:39] <Volkswagner> Dr_Willis I have not confirmed if it's crashing, I assumed it was dropping out
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> weird that it would drop out and not reconnect...
[12:39] <apw> Kano, which readme
[12:40] <Kano> SETUP-SPLIT
[12:40] <apw> Kano, nope, it was once, though its only the public portion anyhow
[12:42] <SwashBuckla> GRUB2 question: I have set the TIMEOUT=0 and the DEFAULT=0 (Windows). Can I still boot Ubuntu? I have just tried holding Shift all through the boot process, and a change DOES occur: I get the message "GRUB loading...". However, this disappears after 5 or so seconds and continues with it's configured boot process (i.e. it does not show the GRUB menu)
[12:42] <Kano> its not fully clear how the chroot must be named
[12:42] <cvr> Volkswagner: have a look in your log files/dmesg to see if it spews any errors about the connection
[12:43] <apw> Kano, presumably something like wheezy-<arch>
[12:43] <Chuck_Norris> SwashBuckla: boot with a live cd and change the TIMEOUT value to "10"
[12:44] <Kano> inside the mainline-buid dir
[12:44] <sacarlson> SwashBuckla:  one thing you could do is legthen the timeout by boot live usb/cd and change params in /boot directory
[12:44] <Chuck_Norris> SwashBuckla: you have to mount the parition as read and write then modify /etc/default/grub  that's what i think
[12:44] <sacarlson> SwashBuckla: or change the default boot to be ubuntu
[12:45] <apw> Kano, no as either a dchroot or a schroot chroot name
[12:45] <ict> anybody can see me?
[12:45] <SwashBuckla> don't you have to chroot?
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> ict:  if we all say no... what would you do? ;P
[12:45] <SwashBuckla> as GRUB2 requirees you to regen the config
[12:45] <ryao> How do I install sun-java6-jdk?
[12:45] <ict> rewrite my programme
[12:46] <sacarlson> SwashBuckla: I think Chuck_Norris is correct it's at /etc/default/grub
[12:46] <ict> i think im successful
[12:46] <Chuck_Norris> SwashBuckla: then you have to chroot and: update-grub   that what i think
[12:46] <SwashBuckla> how?
[12:46] <Chuck_Norris> idk :D
[12:46] <SwashBuckla> I have ubuntu amd64
[12:47] <apw> Chuck_Norris, yep, or change the value in there and in /boot/grub/grub.cfg as well so it gets done next time
[12:47] <Chuck_Norris> boot with a live cd and then ask here SwashBuckla
[12:47] <Chuck_Norris> apw: ye, that what i think =P
[12:47] <sacarlson> Chuck_Norris: I'm not sure the update-grub is needed, I would try without that step SwashBuckla  but I could be wrong too
[12:47] <Chuck_Norris> maybe is not needed
[12:47] <apw> sacarlson, /etc/default/grub is only used when making the grub.cfg, its that grub uses
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> if you edit /etc/default/grub - you MUST do the update-grub.. it then writes the /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[12:48] <esing> hi
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> a quick and dirty fix. is to edit the grub.cfg from a live cd. then reboot.. then fix the issue permently in /etc/default/grub
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> and then rerun update-grub
[12:49] <Cebor> hi, whats the difference between git-core and git pack ???
[12:49] <sacarlson> Dr_Willis: oh then why not just write direct to /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> sacarlson:  if you DONT also fix /etc/default/grub - then update-grub will put the old settings back
[12:49] <Shanth> Finch is cool for computer Geeks..!
[12:49] <esing> how can i make nautilus transparent ?
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> so fix grub.cfg then reboot. and fix /etc/default/grub and run updat-grub
[12:49] <esing> (using ubuntu 12 .04 )
[12:49] <sacarlson> Dr_Willis: ya that sounds correct
[12:50] <rouge_killer97> anyone new that came on have any idea about this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/149317/ubuntu-black-screen-and-icons-messed-up-12-04
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> esing:  compiz/ccsm has settings to make any window transparent on the fly.. but i forget the  settings/plugin
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> !ccsm
[12:50] <esing> dr_willis i didnt find out how to set the windows transprarent with ccsm , do i need to download a certain plugin first or is it inside ccsm ?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> esing:  it is a plugin for ccsm. i domnt know if its installed by default. I hate transparent stuff
[12:51] <chatzillaxul> Hi guys, I'
[12:51] <esing> Dr_willis ok ^^
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> some alt-ctrl-combo+mousewheel to change the setting
[12:51] <chatzillaxul> I'm trying to change the password for my ubuntu 10.04 account
[12:51] <chatzillaxul> but the window hangs everytime I enter the passwords and press enter
[12:51] <cvr> esing: did you workout the problem with your launcher?
[12:52] <esing> cvr yes !
[12:52] <cvr> esing: what was it?
[12:52] <esing> cvr I wanted to tell you how, but you were already ZzZ :D
[12:52] <Kano> chatzillaxul: open a console and use passwd?
[12:52] <sacarlson> chatzillaxul: maybe do it from a console <alt><ctl>+f2
[12:53] <esing> cvr the reason is that my thinkpad doesnt have a screen and I use an extern monitor, so I had to go to ubuntu screen option and turn off the laptop screen, and unselect "mirror screen" on my extern monitor
[12:53] <esing> :)
[12:53] <chatzillaxul> what exactly do I enter?
[12:53] <chatzillaxul> ok nevermind I'll google
[12:53] <sacarlson> chatzillaxul: or is it from ssh ?
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. Using a HD TV as a HDMI monitor.. theres somthing that makes the whole screen brighten if a lot of white is shown - so if i select a menu.. the whole screen sort of brightens up a bit. untill the menu goes away. would that be a settng on the TV? or is there some nvidia setting ive not noticed?
[12:54] <cvr> esing: ahhhhh!
[12:54] <chatzillaxul> sacarlson: what do you mean?
[12:54] <sacarlson> chatzillaxul: your not changing from a terminal?
[12:54] <LoboX> hi onething http://paste.ubuntu.com/1035401/ <-- what im i doing wrong???
[12:55] <chatzillaxul> I tried but it says new password can't be same as old one
[12:55] <chatzillaxul> while they're not, only the first few letters are
[12:55] <wylde_> Dr_Willis: I'm using an hdtv as my primary monitor  and don't have that. I'm also using Nvidia cars.
[12:55] <chatzillaxul> weird
[12:55] <esing1> re
[12:55] <wylde_> cards*
[12:55] <esing1> cvr couldnt read your responce because my power was empty :D
[12:55] <esing1> *response
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> wylde_:  i think its some sort of dynamic color mode for the thing for movies.. but i cant seem to figure out how to disable it. :)
[12:55] <sacarlson> chatzillaxul: I guess make a biger change and then change it back?
[12:55] <esing1> cvr well I should have told you that I use an extern monitor :)
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> wylde_:  but playing skyrim on a 40 inch monitor.. makes up for it.
[12:56] <chatzillaxul> Yeah worked after I made a bigger change
[12:56] <cvr> esing1: haha yeh might have made it a bit easier :)
[12:56] <chatzillaxul> still weird that first the GUI hangs then I can't change to a similar password
[12:56] <wylde_> Dr_Willis: lol I bet :) Just putting that out there hoping it may point you in the right direction. :)
[12:57] <Chuck_Norris> lol skyrim on ubuntu i saw a walkthrough about how to install it, what is your nvidia video card Dr_Willis ?
[12:57] <LoboX> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1035401/ <-- what i'm doing wrong???
[12:58] <crazypete> I am trying to change keyboard layout for my entire computer to norwegian, so that when I boot in textmode ( alt+f1..f6 ) I get norwegian keyboard. how do I do this?
[12:58] <esing1> cvr also i found the solution of my problem of installing unity from lubuntu. the reason i couldnt login to unity was that by configurating samba i set the .ICEauthority owner/permission wrong (in my home folder) i fixed this now by putting for each login a new .ICEauthority file into /tmp/ folder. this is done with /etc/security/pam_env.conf
[12:58] <cyberdo> LoboX: is eth1 already up?
[12:59] <cyberdo> /etc/init.d/networking stop ; ifconfig eth1 down ; /etc/init.d/networking start
[12:59] <ikonia> LoboX: you have 2 default gateways which isn't food
[12:59] <cyberdo> ah
[12:59] <LoboX> if i do ifconfig i see it up
[12:59] <ikonia> LoboX: also "service networking restart" not /etc/init.d
[12:59] <ikonia> "two default gateways isn't good" not "food"
[12:59] <cvr> esing1: nice one, good to see you have a working system now
[12:59] <elijah> What is wrong with this command? I get permission denied for -->     sudo echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
[12:59] <esing1> cvr thanks :)
[13:00] <cyberdo> elijah: ">" and the rest of the line is not executed as root
[13:00] <cyberdo> echo 10 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/swappiness     or    sudo -s    and then run your command
[13:01] <LoboX> im trying to setup a dhcp server
[13:01] <elijah> cyberdo: Thanks a bunch cyberdo, you taught me something!
[13:01] <MonkeyDust> !dhcp| LoboX
[13:02] <cyberdo> elijah: ;o)
[13:02] <elijah> cyberdo: Btw, what is the main difference between cat and tee?
[13:02] <cyberdo> elijah: tee writes to a file, cat reads from it
[13:02] <LoboX> ubottu ok so i dont need to download dhcp3-server then?
[13:03] <LoboX> MonkeyDust
[13:03] <elijah> cyberdo: doh, okay, thanks!
[13:03] <MonkeyDust> LoboX  http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html
[13:03] <cyberdo> elijah: "> filename" is not a feature of cat but of your shell (normally bash)
[13:03] <elijah> cyberdo: That is called output redirection, correct?
[13:03] <LoboX> MonkeyDusti have that site open alredy, trying to configure my 2 nics
[13:03] <cyberdo> elijah: it only means "all the non-error messages you should have given me, send them to this file instead"
[13:03] <cyberdo> yeas
[13:04] <elijah> What is the | ?
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> the pipe symbol
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> elijah  that's a pipe
[13:04] <Dr_Willis>   || | |  |  | |||| ||
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> :)
[13:04] <elijah> I mean what does it do?
[13:05] <LittleBallOfHate> It pipes stuff
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> elijah  it pipes or redirects
[13:05] <elijah> How does | differ from > ?
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> Linux - helping you use all those keys you never knew what they were for
[13:05] <crazypete> how do I change the default systemwide keyboard layout so that it actually matches my norwegian keyboard?
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> elijah:  time to check some bash guides on 'output redirection'
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> elijah  > sends to   | executes in
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> echo 'hello' > file.txt
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> echo 'hello' | pastebinit
[13:06] <elijah> Dr_Willis: ahh, gotcha, basically files vs commands

[13:07] <SunSoul> Hey everyone, I jhave an issue with Ubuntu 12.04 64 Bit Version. I installed it just fine, but after I reboot, I get the following after passing my computer's bioi screen. It says, "Operating System not found." Any idea on how to fix this?
[13:07] <Volkswagner> Dr_Willis, cvr, This is the only thing so far I have found in syslog which may be an issue http://pastebin.com/wm0JGZsh
[13:07] <cvr> Volkswagner: can you tell me a little bit about your setup? I have to setup something similar for a friend soon
[13:08] <elijah> Thanks everyone, I am now .01% more knowledgeable than I was previously (adds up over a year!)
[13:08] <sacarlson> SunSoul: maybe you installed grub MBR to the wrong disk?  what drive did you pick to install MBR?
[13:08] <compdoc> SunSoul, do you have more than one drive? Or do you use other partitions for other OSes?
[13:08] <cvr> Volkswagner: do you have the card manually configured in /etc/network/interfaces?
[13:09] <m1sc> hi. which installer to pick to do fine-grained installation (no desktop env, etc.) -- didn't the alternate image allow this in earlier versions? am i missing something?
[13:09] <Volkswagner> cvr, I have an old AMD 600Mhz box running Xubuntu 10.04 which boots to CLI, Wifi card installed is 00:14.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface
[13:09] <SunSoul> compdoc, I only had one drive, and wiped out the previous OS that was on it. I choose Use All Space in the isntallation method, and that is what I got when I rebooted.
[13:09] <wylde_> ||    <---- double pipe gets executed if the preceding command fails :)
[13:10] <SunSoul> compdoc should I try reinstalling?
[13:10] <cvr> Volkswagner: is it just running music,etc through mpd or something similar?
[13:10] <compdoc> SunSoul, well, I would, but you might want to check into it further first, or it might happen again
[13:11] <sacarlson> SunSoul: I guess you could boot your live usb/cd and mount your /dev/sda1 and verify that the system was installed
[13:11] <Aerdan> uh. Am I the only person getting hash sum mismatches while attempting to install e.g. gnome-control-center & conky-std?
[13:11] <compdoc> SunSoul, boot to the desktop with a live CD, and open Disk Utility. CHeck the drive's health
[13:12] <Volkswagner> cvr the card is configured using network manager
[13:12] <Volkswagner> perhaps if I specify the wifi channel it won't poll like it shows in syslog?
[13:12] <SunSoul> compdoc, ok. Will do. Will return with my findings.
[13:13] <cvr> Volkswagner: yeh thats what I was thinking
[13:13] <Aerdan> affected packages: libxmmsclient6, gnome-menus, gnome-online-accounts, ubuntu-docs, libgnomekbd, gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-control-center itself, and mousetweaks
[13:13] <sdfsd64> is there any way of hacking a router's max transfer rate?
[13:13] <Volkswagner> cvr, yes I'm running MPD on this machine which gets files over the network share since it has a small hard drive
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> sdfsd64:  would totally depend on the router.. and i doubt it.. and not really ubuntu related... ;)
[13:14] <elijah> Is there a keyboard shortcut to send window behind other windows, like when you middle click the title bar? Or can anyone point me into how I would go about making that functionality be available via keyboard?
[13:14] <smookey> hey guys, i went from 10.04 to 12.04 and i had som gconftool-2 strings that i was shooting out on the clients that are not working any more. I used  "gconftool-2 --set --type=string /system/networking/connections/flyvpn/vpn/username $USER". however that is not showing up in network manager anymore (on 12.04 that is). Any ideas?
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> elijah:  theres most likely a way to do it in the ccsm plugins. ive used to do things that way. but been a long time.
[13:15] <elijah> Dr_Willis: what do you do know instead?
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> elijah:  err.. middle click in the title bar.. does send it to back here...
[13:15] <esing> how do I start taskmnager in ubuntu from terminl?
[13:15] <Bingvanmoorsel> Hello everyone
[13:15] <esing> *taskmanager
[13:15] <elijah> Dr_Willis: gotcha,
[13:15] <Bingvanmoorsel> Is there anyone who can help me getting started Installing ubuntu on a raid 0 configuration ?
[13:15] <compdoc> SunSoul, are you specifing partitions, or are you letting ubuntu create the partitions?
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> elijah:  ccsm has more settings then i can discover. it has a search feature that may do it.
[13:16] <elijah> esing: Do you mean system monitor?
[13:16] <sdfsd64> Dr_willis: It is somehow related to it, I want to use it on ubuntu. The max speed is 24MBps down and up to 4 UP
[13:16] <sdfsd64> does the limitation lie in the hardware o in the firmware?
[13:16] <esing> elijah ye i think we mean the same. i need to force quit certain tasks when my ubuntu freezes
[13:16] <SunSoul> compdoc, I am letting ubuntu create partitions.
[13:17] <compdoc> good
[13:17] <elijah> esing: okay, it is called system monitor in Ubuntu. You will probably get more help if you use that term instead.
[13:17] <elijah> esing: You want to launch it from terminal?
[13:17] <esing> elijah yes
[13:17] <AceFace1> hello all! ^_^
[13:18] <Bingvanmoorsel> hey AceFace1
[13:18] <Bingvanmoorsel> Does someone know how to install ubuntu on a RAID 0 system
[13:18] <elijah> esing: super easy, just remember gnome-system-monitor
[13:18] <smookey> anyone that all that knows? :)
[13:18] <esing> thanks you !
[13:19] <elijah> esing: You are welcome, btw, I found the name by launching system monitor and then scanning the running processes!
[13:19] <Starpollo> anyone with experience using apt-get for offline boxes? We got a box that has to stay offline... it's a royal pain doing updates/installs. Cheers.
[13:19] <SunSoul> compdoc, hold on a moment. Dog is yapping at me.
[13:19] <abogani> Bingvanmoorsel,: Use alternate cd
[13:20] <ikonia> SunSoul: you need to either make a local repo of a CD style repo
[13:20] <Bingvanmoorsel> abogani where do i find the alternate CD ?
[13:21] <abogani> Bingvanmoorsel: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/
[13:22] <Bingvanmoorsel> thanks
[13:22] <abogani> Bingvanmoorsel: you are welcome!
[13:26] <slyborg> hi could someone do me a favour and tell me what the hotkeys are in compizconfig-settings-manager in general settings, key bindings> lower window please?
[13:26] <crazypete> please, how do I change the default system keyboard layout in 12.04?

[13:27] <Volkswagner> cvr, I don't see an entry for wireless channel in nm-settings-editor, how may I specify channel while still using NM?
[13:29] <hypnoseal> Goodmorning, When trying to install texlive via aptitude I am told that the hash is incorrect.  Who do I let know that this is happening?  texlive-full installs fine.
[13:31] <cvr> cvr: not sure, dont have a machine with wireless infront of me at the moment to check, maybe its a better option to manually configure the card in /etc/network/interfaces?
[13:31] <cvr> Volkswagner:
[13:31] <platius> crazypete>  I believe I saw a keyboard layout icon in the system settings window
[13:31] <sebastien> hi how can i do to make spanish characters with a french trackpad
[13:32] <slyborg> platius: i checked, i dont think you can change the actual default setting selected when ubuntu was installed from there
[13:33] <slyborg> crazypete: ah wait i am mistaken, it looks like you can add different keyboard layout in system settings
[13:34] <platius> crazypete>  so choosing a layout from the menu you get clicking on the + symbol does not change the default?
[13:34] <poontrip> @hypnoseal this means that data has been corrupted in the d/l process. Try a fresh d/l and hash check that.
[13:35] <gld1982ltd> hey all. what is the best way to run a program as root on startup? rc.local, crontab, or something else?

[13:40] <dragonslay> what is the support period for  ubuntu server 10.04
[13:40] <MonkeyDust> !10.04
[13:41] <VaSy> hi
[13:41] <dragonslay> MonkeyDust: thank you.
[13:41] <VaSy> Is it possible to use cloud computing solution for rendering purpose ?
[13:43] <VaSy> Hi I want to use cloud computing solution for rendering ?

[13:45] <angs> I am trying to connect to my access point which uses WEP. I type "iwconfig wlan0 mode managed key 6d6f6e6579" "iwconfig wlan0 essid "AccessPoint"" and "dhclient wlan0" it does not connect to the AP. What should I do?

[13:53] <core21> wow the bot knows the answer to everything. how convenient
[13:53] <MonkeyDust> core21  many questions are always the same
[13:54] <zykotick9> !42 | core21
[13:54] <hypnoseal> poontrip:  Could have been cached, didn't think of that.  Does apt-get and aptitude use the same cache files?
[13:54] <designbybeck_> lol
[13:55] <zykotick9> hypnoseal: for downloads?  yes.
[13:56] <zykotick9> hypnoseal: /var/cache/apt/archives is where they are stored.
[13:59] <poontrip> hypnoseal> Yes they do, aptitude is just a front end for apt-get.  already answered, cheers zykotick9!
[14:00] <compdoc> I once thought that if you use apt, you shouldnt use aptitude, and vice versa
[14:00] <zykotick9> poontrip: not really.  aptitude isn't a frontend for apt-get - they're different and don't rely on one another.  both are quasi-frontends to dpkg.
[14:00] <zykotick9> compdoc: that used to be true, no so much anymore.  though ubuntu users are recommeneded to use apt-get.
[14:01] <compdoc> I use apt-get
[14:01] <cvr> aptitude trys todo too much smart stuff and needs to have an eye kept on what it proposes
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> best to avoide aptitude these days.
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> !aptitude
[14:03] <designbybeck_> MonkeyDust: ... 2nd Error I got using Brasero.... Anyone know what this problem might be? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1035517/

[14:04] <designbybeck_> oh actually now that I'm looking at it, those 2 cd's might have had something on them
[14:05] <designbybeck_> oh..no that wasn't the case
[14:05] <designbybeck_> Well this is good at least, I needed a few new coffee coasters
[14:06] <jolaren> I'm trying to list modules because I get error that dev/tyacm0 doesnt exist but I think it does
[14:06] <jolaren> 2012-06-11 14:26:19,3, modem1: Couldn't open serial port /dev/ttyACM0, error: No such file or directory, waiting 30 sec.
[14:08] <angs> I am trying to connect to an Access point I type "iwconfig wlan0 mode managed key 6d6f6e6579" "iwconfig wlan0 essid "AccessPoint"" "dhclient wlan0" but I cannot connect to the AP. I am able to connect it through the GUI so that drivers and wifi modules work fine. I just wonder how to do it by commands. I would appreciate if anyone can help me
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> jolaren:  lsmod to list loaded modules. ls -l /dev/tty* to see if that device exists
[14:10] <AceFace1> is it possible to bond several network cards together, then assign mutiple IP addresses to the bond?
[14:11] <TheLordOfTime> AceFace1: why not just run each card on its own IP?
[14:11] <jolaren> Dr_Willis: It does exist! :(
[14:11] <AceFace1> i want them to failover to eachother
[14:11] <compdoc> I think a bond makes them work as one, and you can assign multiple IPs to a single interface, so....
[14:11] <tapan> how can i log in as root ? there is no option to enter user name as root in u12.04
[14:11] <plork> AceFace1: yes it is very possible
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> jolaren:  and the cake is a lie. :) does ls show it? make sure spelling and CASE is correct..
[14:12] <plork> AceFace1: do you want to bond them to give redundancy over switches?
[14:12] <AceFace1> ive used this method to bond them: http://goo.gl/qUQKB
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> tapan:  you use sudo and gksudo as needed. you dont login as root.
[14:12] <AceFace1> now, i'd like to assign multiple IPs to the bond
[14:12] <jolaren> Dr_Willis: I can't find it in lsmod but it's in ln -s,,
[14:12] <angs> I am trying to connect to an Access point I type "iwconfig wlan0 mode managed key 6d6f6e6579" "iwconfig wlan0 essid "AccessPoint"" "dhclient wlan0" but I cannot connect to the AP. I am able to connect it through the GUI so that drivers and wifi modules work fine. I just wonder how to do it by commands. I would appreciate if anyone can help me
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> jolaren:  you mean ls -l ?
[14:13] <jolaren> Dr_Willis: I mean -ls -l
[14:13] <jolaren> sorry..
[14:13] <AceFace1> plork: redundancy over switches? i dont quite understand
[14:13] <SunSoul> compdoc, you there? I am back. Had to do some stuff. I am in the live USB environment, and you wanted me to verify my drive where ubuntu was installed on.
[14:13] <SunSoul> How do I do that?
[14:13] <keffooo> Does anyone know any ETA on the ubuntu-mysql security vulnerability patch?
[14:13] <jolaren> Dr_Willis:  #crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166,  0 Jun 11 15:56 /dev/ttyACM0
[14:14] <SunSoul> compdoc, I currently mounted the drive in a new directory that I created in terminal.
[14:14] <compdoc> SunSoul, I just wanted you to check the drive's health. Its from the SMART data
[14:14] <jrib> keffooo: too vague...
[14:14] <plork> AceFace1: what do you want to achieve from your bonding?
[14:14] <tapan> will it solve my prob in my desktop ? i mean to say has it the same power in cmd line ?
[14:14] <compdoc> SunSoul, also, how large is the drive, and what partition type is it?
[14:14] <keffooo> jrib: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/1011371
[14:15] <plork> AceFace1: i.e. do you want to a) get link redundancy (in case of cable / NIC failure), b) get extra throughput, c) get switch redundancy ?
[14:15] <keffooo> jrib: Or better yet:   http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2012/q2/493
[14:15] <keffooo> That is one giant security flaw
[14:15] <plork> AceFace1: to get the multiple IP's is easy though - you just create another section in you network config file that specifies bond0:0 the same way that you specified bond0, with the different IP address
[14:16] <AceFace1> plork: after using this method: http://goo.gl/qUQKB , is there a way to assign mutiple IPs? here is my interfaces config: http://pastebin.com/sPTahgcW
[14:16] <AceFace1> plork: i want to acheive this: i have a headless server sitting behind a barrauda 640 load balancer
[14:16] <Pici> keffooo: You may want to take a look at our CVE tracker for an update: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2012/CVE-2012-2122.html
[14:16] <AceFace1> and it balances to two similar servers
[14:17] <AceFace1> i want the load balancer to be able to fail over to the next IP, and the server to failover to next NIC in the case of any failures
[14:18] <plork> AceFace1: you're on the right track. There is a working example here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423602
[14:18] <Pici> keffooo: On Launchpad as well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/1011371
[14:18] <mneptok> keffooo: you could start running the official MariaDB PPAs. Serg said those are safe.
[14:19] <plork> AceFace1: what's the point of bonding things together, then giving them different IP's if the load balancer is then going to fail over the the different IP's?
[14:19] <AceFace1> thank you plork, i really appreciate your time! :)
[14:19] <plork> AceFace1: couldn't you just keep the NIC's with their own IP addresses and then let the load balancer do the rest?
[14:19] <plork> AceFace1: you are most welcome
[14:19] <keffooo> mneptok: Thanks but these are production servers for web hosting. So can't just change stuff around.   My two options are: #1 Waiting for ubuntu to get the patch in there.    #2: Download and install binary of newer version and skip ubuntu packaging.
[14:20] <AceFace1> well,the infrastructure of the rack, i originally allotted three IPs to each server
[14:20] <AdvoWork> how can I find where a PTR record is set on my server?
[14:20] <angs3> I am trying to connect to an Access point I type "iwconfig wlan0 mode managed key 6d6f6e6579" "iwconfig wlan0 essid "AccessPoint"" "dhclient wlan0" but I cannot connect to the AP. I am able to connect it through the GUI so that drivers and wifi modules work fine. I just wonder how to do it by commands. I would appreciate if anyone can help me
[14:20] <AceFace1> but, i determined that at the very least, i would like to bond and load balance natively in each server
[14:20] <mneptok> keffooo: MAriaDB is a drop-in replacement. you should be able to stop MySQL, remove MySQL packages, install MariaDB, config to your setup, and start. no migration steps necessary.
[14:21] <plork> AceFace1: ok - fair enough
[14:21] <AceFace1> but then, to make my load balancer happy, it wants multiple IPs for each service
[14:21] <reisio> keffooo: indeed, mysql will be dead soon, may as well embrace the future now
[14:21] <AceFace1> maybe im overkilling on the redundancy bit, but oh well
[14:22] <organiks> morning all
[14:22] <organiks> is there a way i can make ubuntu one folder sync with date it was uploaded?
[14:22] <keffooo> mneptok: All config, rules, commands, etc are the same?
[14:22] <keffooo> mneptok: and data files as well=?
[14:23] <organiks> for the date modified?
[14:23] <mneptok> keffooo: yessir. MariaDB is a fork or the FLOSS MtSQL source. and developed by the original author of MySQL.
[14:24] <plork> AceFace1: yes it does seem like overkill - but if you're working to a spec, it's probably easier and faster to just do it the way you said rather than trying to get a change request approved for the IP's :oP
[14:24] <angel282> Hello, I am trying to compile some package, and when I use the next command "sudo make" I getting the next message: "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found" any idea?
[14:24] <mneptok> keffooo: "/join @maria" and tell the devs that mneptok sent you. they all know me. and they'll be able to answer any and all questions, and be available during a migration. since you have them ready, it guarantees you won't need help. karma is like that. ;)
[14:24] <plork> AceFace1: I'm outta here - good luck :o)
[14:24] <mneptok> keffooo: errr .... #maria
[14:25] <keffooo> mneptok: :Thanks, but if anything does go wrong..., I have thousands of customers screaming and tons of work ahead of me. So not something I can just decide right now
[14:25] <FyreSG> hi guys i think my ubuntu 12.04 installation grub is messed up. i need help. seems like grub root is defined to (hd0,msdos1), which I think is wrong. how do i change to (hd0,0) or maybe (hd0,msdos0)?
[14:25] <MariachiAC> Hello everyone. I have installed Ubuntu on my laptop. It says operating system not found when I try booting. I tried running the live usb and checking my drive with smart data. However, it doesn't run. It just closes the disk utility. What shall I do?

[14:25] <wahben> Hi #ubuntu, I just manually compiled the latest emacs with --prefix /opt, and added /opt/bin to my /etc/environment. Bash finds emacs when logged in as root or as a normal user, however why does it not find emacs when I "sudo emacs" ?
[14:26] <mneptok> keffooo: don't actually *do* it until you have run the process through on a testbed server with one of your datasets. just to be sure.
[14:26] <mneptok> keffooo: or use a VM. or something. but do a dry run. we're still not allowed to shoot angry customers, so ... :/
[14:27] <keffooo> mneptok: In which case I might as well install mysql binary and skip ubuntu packaging system instead.  Feels safer =)
[14:27] <FyreSG> anyone here knows grub2?
[14:27] <ikonia> FyreSG: just ask the question
[14:27] <mneptok> keffooo: if you s/mysql/oracle above, it will feel less safe.
