[08:01] <lymon> your talking to me right battery?
[08:01] <SolarisBoy> *sbattey
[08:01] <lymon> and no the capslock doesnt work :/
[08:01] <sbattey> yes
[08:02] <SolarisBoy> are you at the screen of your system?
[08:02] <sbattey> Either the driver didn't get loaded or you have a kernel panic
[08:02] <SolarisBoy> hmm..
[08:02] <lymon> so what do i do now?
[08:02] <sbattey> Your first order of business is to boot into a safe mode and find your logs
[08:02] <SolarisBoy> right on
[08:02] <sbattey> is grub loading?
[08:02] <lymon> this is a pc i just bought and everything was wiped
[08:02] <lymon> and no it is not
[08:02] <SolarisBoy> i think there is a missing link
[08:03] <SolarisBoy> kernel panic in my experience logs to the screen
[08:03] <mega1> does anyone know this error W: Failed to fetch http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/InRelease
[08:04] <mega1> this is a fresh install
[08:04] <sbattey> did you install grub?
[08:04] <sbattey> To the mbr?
[08:04] <lymon> mbr?
[08:04] <sbattey> is grub does;'t boot you're pretty much screwed I think
[08:04] <sbattey> master boot record
[08:04] <lymon> ill be honest i dont know any linux terms
[08:04] <sbattey> it is an install option
[08:04] <sbattey> mbr is a computer term
[08:04] <SolarisBoy> do you have a live cd?
[08:04] <lymon> when i reinsert cd it shows it
[08:04] <SolarisBoy> ok
[08:05] <SolarisBoy> and when you boot the drive it does nothing?
[08:05] <sbattey> If your live CD booted and worked fine but your computer won't boot you have a grub issue
[08:05] <SolarisBoy> well -
[08:05] <sbattey> grub is a bootloader
[08:05] <lymon> yeah nothing comes after its installed
[08:05] <SolarisBoy> shows "what"?
[08:05] <SolarisBoy> after it is installed
[08:05] <sbattey> at some point in the install it should have talked about this,
[08:05] <stueng> hello. under ubuntu server with xorg installed and XBMC the performnace of XBMC is sluggish unless I startx as root
[08:05] <lymon> just a purple screen for a second then it dissapears
[08:06] <SolarisBoy> ok..
[08:06] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: i'm out for the night, thanks for the tips. good night
[08:06] <SolarisBoy> so technically it sounds like your doing grub
[08:06] <lymon> ideas on what to do.... or is it a hardware issue?
[08:06] <sbattey> ylmon, when you boot do you get a black and white box with options in it?
[08:06] <SolarisBoy> as afaik thats the only thing that turns the screen purple
[08:06] <SolarisBoy> it sounds like you may have a video driver issue possibly at lymon
[08:06] <lymon> no sbattery just a black screen
[08:06] <wilee-nilee> lymon, how did you install a cd or usb flash?
[08:06] <lymon> cd
[08:07] <sbattey> you need to boot ubuntu from grub into the safe mode and figure oiut your graphics issue
[08:07] <lukicat> short problem: when i start ubuntu it comes up with the start sound but only a black screen. after switchting to text mode and back to graphic mode all is fine... how to solve this? =)
[08:07] <SolarisBoy> exactly
[08:07] <SolarisBoy> the right answer..
[08:07] <wilee-nilee> lymon, you chose install to the hard drive?
[08:07] <lymon> yeah its installed to the hd
[08:07] <SolarisBoy> grub is loading if his screen is purple
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> when it's trying to switch resolutions for GUI mode - it seems its going black?
[08:08] <stueng> hold shift while you boot, see if you get the grub screen
[08:08] <sbattey> ubuntu is trying to boot if his screen is purple
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> right -
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> exactly
[08:08] <wilee-nilee> lymon, so what happens when you boot?
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> meaning grub ran..
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> he gets black screen - video issue sounds like to me
[08:08] <lymon> as in?
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> especially if the live cd vid works
[08:08] <sbattey> yes, meaning he didn;'t know what grub was when we asked haha
[08:08] <lymon> yeah just that
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> =)
[08:08] <lymon> i can do the test and install
[08:08] <wilee-nilee> SolarisBoy, I am not asking you please
[08:08] <SolarisBoy> grub != worm
[08:09] <wilee-nilee> !nomodeset | lymon
[08:09] <SolarisBoy> did i say your name in my comment?
[08:09] <SolarisBoy> exactly
[08:09] <SolarisBoy> nomodeset - like i been getting to - checking your settings...
[08:09] <lymon> but when i do the hd nothing at all
[08:09] <lymon> yeah i installed it like that
[08:09] <lymon> and nothing :/
[08:09] <stueng> if you hold down shift on boot, dont you get a "safe mode" or something? I cant remember
[08:09] <wilee-nilee> SolarisBoy, you are not saying anybodies nic welcome to my ignore
[08:09] <SolarisBoy> great
[08:10] <SolarisBoy> maybe youll stop saying my name then
[08:10] <SolarisBoy> genius
[08:10] <sbattey> wilee-nilee don;t be a dick
[08:10] <SolarisBoy> anyway - lymon - i had this same issue on my last install
[08:10] <SolarisBoy> cd works hd doesn't - vid setting are out of wack
[08:10] <SolarisBoy> start with nomodeset like thingy told you there
[08:11] <lymon> kk
[08:11] <stueng> hello. under ubuntu server with xorg installed and XBMC the performnace of XBMC is sluggish unless I startx as root
[08:11] <wilee-nilee> lymon, feel free to ask any questions on inserting the nomodeset in the kernel as suggestd you need to hold down the shift at powering on to see the grub menu
[08:12] <wilee-nilee> lymon, there is a safe mode as well in the recovery boot
[08:12] <iceroot> stueng: i had the same issue, the problem was das pulseaudio was not running and xbmc tried to contact it all the time
[08:12] <lukicat> when i start ubuntu it comes up with the start sound but only a black screen. after switchting to text mode and back to graphic mode all is fine... how to solve this? =)
[08:12] <iceroot> stueng: then i used lightdm with xbmc-standalone
[08:13] <iceroot> stueng: lightdm is starting pulse, dbus and so on correctly, you are missing pulse and dbus
[08:13] <wilee-nilee> lukicat, you now the graphic card?
[08:13] <stueng> iceroot: I dont have a DE, just plain xorg. what is xbmc-standlone ?
[08:13] <wilee-nilee> know*
[08:13] <lymon> actually
[08:13] <vexaxv> hey guys i installed gnome 3 (gnome-shell and gnome-common) via the repos in ubuntu 12.04 and i want to remove all the gnome 3 crap now im not liking it to much lol, but when i uninstall those two i downloaded theres still the options at log in screen, so im guessing theres dependencies or something i have to uninstall too? or other crap that came with it? so how do i uninstall everything related to that package like i did when i install
[08:13] <vexaxv> ed it, via terminal or whatever
[08:13] <iceroot> stueng: xbmc-standalone is an entry in lightdm just like unity, lxde, kde and so on
[08:13] <lukicat> wilee-nilee, think its an intel gma, but i dont know exactly
[08:13] <lymon> do you guys think it would make a difference if i used the hdmi port instead of vga for this comp?
[08:14] <iceroot> stueng: and your problem is you have plain-x and you are not starting pulse and dbus
[08:14] <stueng> iceroot: I dont want or have lightdm
[08:14] <iceroot> stueng: then start pulse, dbus and so on
[08:14] <stephanmg> is it worth reading the "debian user handbook" if i'm running  a ubuntu system? (thought i never used debian)
[08:14] <stueng> iceroot: ok, so I should install pulse and dbus
[08:14] <iceroot> stueng: you also have to start them
[08:14] <stueng> ok, ill have ot reboot to do that.. soooo bbiab, thanks
[08:14] <stueng> iceroot: ok, start then using the service command?
[08:14] <iceroot> stueng: i dont see a problem having lightdm + session "xbmc-standalone" with autologin
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> lymon: why uze vga wgen you got hdmi?
[08:14] <wilee-nilee> vexaxv, checkout playing around to remove the full gnome-shell  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/
[08:14] <iceroot> stueng: you will not see lightdm then
[08:15] <stueng> iceroot: sounds good, ill try it
[08:15] <iceroot> stephanmg: yes
[08:15] <stueng> iceroot: so I will install lightdm, pulse, dbus and then edit lightdm.cfg to make my default session xbmc-standalone ?
[08:15] <lymon> umm
[08:16] <lymon> i put this at my desktop stand and not at my tv stand
[08:16] <iceroot> stueng: correct
[08:16] <lymon> so should i try that then?
[08:16] <stueng> iceroot: ok, bbiab then, reboot
[08:16] <wilee-nilee> lukicat, try the safe mode in the recovery if you are not in and check the additional drivers app if you are updated.
[08:16] <lukicat> kk, try to update everything, wilee-nilee
[08:17] <iceroot> lukicat: i had the same problem, the issue is that the splashscreen is not killed correctly, my workaround was to disable the splashscreen
[08:17] <lymon> gah
[08:17] <wilee-nilee> lukicat, the additional drivers many times has the drivers needed if not getting auto installed.
[08:17] <lymon> i think im going to try and use it on hdmi port
[08:18] <ninux> does anybode use awesome wm here???
[08:18] <lymon> ill brb then since old pc is currently on tv
[08:18] <lukicat> iceroot, thanks for the workaround. gonna try it, if driver updates wont work
[08:18] <iceroot> lukicat: edit /etc/default/grub there is a line with quit splash  remove the two strings, save the file, run sudo update-grup and reboot
[08:19] <lymon> err actulaly brb if i still get issues
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> 'quiet splash'     ;)
[08:19] <SolarisBoy> sure... though moving the pc to fix this is non optimal
[08:20] <goddard> how much does the file system differ when comparing debian and ubuntu?
[08:20] <SolarisBoy> the filesystem structure? or the fs?
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> both follow the LSB dont they?
[08:21] <goddard> the structure
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> !lsb
[08:21] <SolarisBoy> they are about the same
[08:21] <iceroot> goddard: both are the same
[08:21] <J11_> I upgraded my distro, and now my ICS stopped working, it seems the iptables rules are in place but the dhcp server isn't
[08:21] <iceroot> goddard: but because of different programs (e.g. upstart) there are different directories too
[08:21] <SolarisBoy> right
[08:21] <SolarisBoy> or other little customized things ubuntu does things..
[08:24] <enclosed> when i try to boot from the live cd i get a black screen with a blinking dash on the top left of the screen...
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset | enclosed
[08:25] <SolarisBoy> that must be a popular one here over past couple of weeks huh?
[08:25] <wilee-nilee> !nomodeset | enclosed
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> couple of yeaars
[08:25] <SolarisBoy> understandable
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> they need to just make it a default option/entry on the main menu. ;a0
[08:26] <SolarisBoy> i'd say
[08:26] <SolarisBoy> rather than breakage first - =)
[08:26] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: thanks i will try that
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> i dont need it any more fo rmy nvidia ssytms..  used to be i had to use it
[08:26] <SolarisBoy> i think my whole company had to put that line in on the same day
[08:26] <SolarisBoy> lol
[08:27] <SolarisBoy> interesting - im scared to move it now
[08:27] <carpi> Hi. I have a dual monitor setup. And I have twinview on both. But on one of my Flat panel monitors, when I maximize any application window the title bar disappears.. Could someone please tell me how I might solve it?
[08:27] <vexaxv> hey guys i accidentally deleted gnome-session and i cant log on now, how do i get to a command prompt so i can reinstall via terminal
[08:27] <stephanmg> iceroot: i just thought ubuntu would be completely different and you should not use the debian stuff.
[08:28] <iceroot> stephanmg: because they use different software versions and sometimes different methods
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> carpi: it goes into the unity panel i thought.. at lessssst it does here
[08:28] <ikonia> vexaxv: boot into recovery mode from grub
[08:29] <vexaxv> ikonia, i did
[08:29] <carpi> Dr_Willis: Im not using Unity actually..
[08:29] <wilee-nilee> stephanmg, ubuntu is basically based on debian, hardly different fundamentally really, just modified and newer packages
[08:29] <vexaxv> ikonia, now what
[08:30] <SolarisBoy> all ubuntu's start at a debian
[08:30] <ikonia> vexaxv: install the package as you said
[08:30] <carpi> Dr_Willis: the thing is, I am able to get the view on both monitors. Only problem is.. on one of the monitors the image is scaled beyond the edge..
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> carpi:  sounds like an 'overscan' setting perhps
[08:30] <vexaxv> ikonia, i only get the option to do root..but i have to enable networking and after i do then type something and hit enter it says filesystem not mounted or somethin like that and trys to do a normal boot
[08:32] <carpi> Dr_Willis: Genius. Thank you very much. I adjusted the Overscan setting in the NVIDIA X Server Settings.. : ) It worked
[08:32] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: okay somewhat made some progress that time.. it spit some errors out at me, can you help me make sense of this? i took a picture of my screen. http://db.tt/hKiIWiUT
[08:32] <vexaxv> ikonia, it wont let me do anything it trys to boot normal before i can type anything into the root termina
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> carpi:  i see that when using tv's as monitors
[08:32] <ikonia> vexaxv: what do you mean you can't type anything into the root terminal
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> enclosed: i dont even rember the original issue
[08:33] <vexaxv> ikonia, when i enable networking then if i sit there at the terminal for 3 sec something comes across the screen then it trys to boot normal
[08:33] <ngaba> with Hungarian locale, in the main window of claws-mail, I can see absolutely strange date: "2012.54.23.(Sze) 12:54"
[08:33] <ikonia> vexaxv: how are you trying to enable networking ?
[08:33] <ngaba> what is wrong? other programs (like mc), seems OK.
[08:33] <enclosed> Dr_Willis: black screen with blinking dash in top right hand corner.. i set nomodeset then tried to boot from the live cd and got this error http://db.tt/hKiIWiUT
[08:34] <vexaxv> ikonia, with the enable networking option then pressing ctrl alt delete to go back
[08:34] <vexaxv> to click root
[08:34] <carpi> Dr_Willis: yea.. im using a flat panel TV as a monitor. However it is working now. Thanks for the hint.
[08:34] <ikonia> click root ??? you should just be booting into a root shell, no menu's/gui
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> carpi:  yep. had exact same issue with a tv as a monitor.
[08:34] <lukicat> wilee-nilee, now i updated some drivers and got a really bad result... again graphical mode only comes up after switchting to text mode, but now the graphical display is only available in the upper half of the monitor =(
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[08:35] <vexaxv> ikonia, if u hold shift grub comes up, then u can click recovery mode i can still go the the login screen but the "unity" session and gnome session had disappeared from the menu so when i type in my password and log in nothing happens
[08:35] <wilee-nilee> lukicat, had you installed drivers before this change
[08:36] <lukicat> hmm not really, just did a clean installation of ubuntu 12.04
[08:36] <ikonia> vexaxv: recovery mode should not be a deskop/gui
[08:37] <vexaxv> ikonia, what do u mean
[08:37] <freakolowsky> ok this is getting ridiculus ... i have 8GB of RAM (40% free), ihave i7 quadcore proc (top shows nothing above 5%), i have a Radeon with 1GB RAM ... yet unity i still glitchy when switching wrkspaces .. what gives
[08:37] <SolarisBoy> lol
[08:37] <wilee-nilee> lukicat, graphics are not really a strong area for me but the channel needs to know exactly what you have run this command and post the results.  lspci | grep VGA
[08:37] <unkn-error> when updating, upgrading and installing packages with apt, synaptic and aptitude dose the package manager do a check (of hash, md5 or sha etc.) to see if the downloaded archive/packages are saine(healthly)?
[08:37] <ikonia> vexaxv: when you launch into recovery mode, it should drop you into a shell, not a desktop
[08:38] <vexaxv> ikonia, it brings me to a menu
[08:38] <SolarisBoy> yea i think it does which asks you what you want to do - run fsck etc etc etc
[08:38] <vexaxv> ikonia, resume clean dpkg failsafex fsck grub network root system-summary
[08:38] <ikonia> versi: what are the menu options
[08:38] <ikonia> vexaxv: which one are you picking ?
[08:38] <ikonia> vexaxv: which option are you selecting ?
[08:39] <vexaxv> ikonia, network to enable networking (my blue light comes on) then root so i can get in the terminal but if i wait 3 sec if retrys to boot normal
[08:39] <vexaxv> cant even type anything in
[08:39] <ikonia> vexaxv: just select "root"
[08:39] <stephanmg> wilee-nilee: okay, thank you
[08:39] <enclosed> i am trying to boot from the live cd at first i was getting a black screen with a blinking dash in the top right hand corner so i set nomodeset and it started to boot but i got this error.. can someone help me make sense of it? http://db.tt/hKiIWiUT
[08:39] <lukicat> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 06)
[08:40] <vexaxv> ikonia, k hang on
[08:40] <lukicat> wilee-nilee, i think its an known error with this ugly graphic card, going to google it again...
[08:40] <vexaxv> k im in the terminal now what
[08:40] <vexaxv> ikonia, how can i turn on the internet via terminal
[08:40] <ikonia> vexaxv: now you should be able to install the missing packages
[08:40] <ikonia> vexaxv: use the init script
[08:40] <ikonia> vexaxv: or manually set it up
[08:41] <ikonia> vexaxv: eg: ip or ifconfig
[08:41] <vexaxv> ikonia, my internet isnt on, i have to click enable networking lol but thats what messes it up, so what do i type to turn on the wifi
[08:42] <ikonia> vexaxv: I'm busy patching a machine at the moment and you don't appear to be listening to what I say when I say "don't click enable networking" - manually setup the network connection with "ip" or "ifconfig"
[08:42] <SolarisBoy> ifconfig <interface> <ip address> netmask <your netmask> up would work
[08:42] <vexaxv> ikonia, i never said i did click it i heard what u said, i dont know how to manually do it
[08:43] <SolarisBoy> vexaxv: ^
[08:43] <SolarisBoy> im assuming your in a root shell and the user root - else you need to prepend sudo
[08:43] <SolarisBoy> brb
[08:43] <ngaba> hm, I've just realized that month == minute
[08:45] <vexaxv> says the package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened
[08:45] <vexaxv> when i try to install a pkg via terminal
[08:46] <sheepy> I usually use apt-get to update, and it had been holding back a kernel update, but yesterday I used the GUI and it updated the kernel and started chucking up loads of crash report errors on boot and unity 3d has switched back to unity 2d
[08:47] <curiousx> aloha all :D
[08:47] <sheepy> I just updated the kernel again today, the crash report popups are gone now, but I seem to be stuck in Unity 2d
[08:47] <sheepy> *errors on login, not boot
[08:47] <vexaxv> how do i connect to another computer via ip on ubuntu 12.04
[08:47] <vexaxv> like teamviewer
[08:48] <SolarisBoy> you use a connection protocol
[08:48] <fizyplankton> vexaxv: if all you need is a shell, use ssh
[08:48] <vexaxv> i dont think that would even work..
[08:48] <sheepy> is there any way to get unity to try running in the normal unity mode, as it seems to be stuck in unity 2d, even though I am not logging in using the "Ubuntu 2d" option at the login screen.
[08:48] <curiousx> vexaxv: with teamviewr
[08:48] <gkaklas> !vnc
[08:48] <vexaxv> i accidentally deleted gnome-session and i casnt login now i need to reinstall it but i cant get to a terminal with internet to reinstall
[08:48] <vexaxv> thats my problem
[08:48] <vexaxv> cant*
[08:49] <SolarisBoy> umm - did you try to do what they told you vexaxv?
[08:49] <curiousx> oh! ye, ubuntu has with vino server but in order to the remote machine you have to open the port 5900
[08:49] <SolarisBoy> which is bring up the interface manually while in safe mode?
[08:49] <SolarisBoy> like the ifconfig line previously shown? - or is that you didn't read that?
[08:49] <vexaxv> SolarisBoy, yes but i dont think i did it properly
[08:49] <SolarisBoy> ok - so fix the command it works
[08:49] <vexaxv> i did ifconfig
[08:49] <vexaxv> just now
[08:50] <vexaxv> i need to turn on wlan0
[08:50] <SolarisBoy> again -
[08:50] <lymon> so ummm yeah guys...
[08:50] <lymon> looks like it works when i used the hdmi port
[08:50] <SolarisBoy> heh
[08:50] <gkaklas> vexaxv, to enable a network interface use "ifup wlan0"
[08:50] <lymon> am i all safe?
[08:50] <lymon> hold on as i restart that pc and check
[08:51] <lymon> now...
[08:51] <SolarisBoy> lol - cute
[08:51] <vexaxv> it says unknown interface
[08:51] <SolarisBoy> exactly
[08:51] <vexaxv> gahh
[08:51] <lymon> to install wireless adapter somehow and then ill install wine and DIABLO3
[08:52] <SolarisBoy> vexaxv: im thinking you use network manager?
[08:52] <lymon> this makes me sad though the problem the whole time was not using hdmi
[08:52] <SolarisBoy> lymon: thats not the problem really
[08:52] <lymon> are you sure?
[08:52] <SolarisBoy> yes
[08:52] <vexaxv> SolarisBoy, i use it to enable my internet when i can actually use my laptop..
[08:52] <lymon> everything is running smoothly now
[08:52] <SolarisBoy> thats because you swapped to hdmi instead of doing nomodeset
[08:52] <gkaklas> vexaxv, does wlan0 appear in the output of "ifconfig"?
[08:52] <vexaxv> SolarisBoy, wlan0 popped up when i did those command u told me with the ip netmask etc
[08:52] <SolarisBoy> so in turn you moved your computer to fix it - non optimal but if it works fine
[08:53] <lymon> well
[08:53] <vexaxv> gkaklas, no
[08:53] <lymon> it works this way better
[08:53] <vexaxv> gkaklas, only lo
[08:53] <SolarisBoy> vexaxv: ifup is for configured interfaces
[08:53] <SolarisBoy> it assumes you have some file that ifup will use
[08:53] <lymon> since what that comp is for is for editing and this monitor is well.... dimmish
[08:53] <SolarisBoy> if your using network manager - you dont have that file
[08:53] <Knightwise> hey everyone
[08:54] <fizyplankton> vexaxv: im assuming you are in the recovery root shell. are you in the shell with networking?
[08:54] <vexaxv> SolarisBoy, okay so what do i need to do to get the internet working..
[08:54] <Knightwise> anyone have any experience with booting 12.04 on a G4 imac ?
[08:54] <SolarisBoy> bring up the wlan the same way network manager would
[08:54] <Knightwise> I try to boot from the cd but the sceen just goes blanc
[08:54] <gkaklas> vexaxv, then you have to configure the wlan0 interface manually...
[08:54] <vexaxv> fizyplankton, i am but when i click enable networking after about 5 sec it trys to boot again which takes me out of recovery mode
[08:54] <vexaxv> gkaklas, k how
[08:55] <SolarisBoy> first is wireless your only option? vexaxv?
[08:55] <vexaxv> SolarisBoy, yes
[08:55] <SolarisBoy> ok - then carry on
[08:56] <fizyplankton> vexaxv: another idea, since it looks like internet wont work for quite some time, if you only deleted the gnome-session folder (wherever that may have been), just live boot from a cd and copy and paste it
[08:56] <vexaxv> when im in recovery mode when i click enable networking then go back to the terminal i type ctrl alt delete i think that may be why it trys to load, whats the appropriate key to hit to go back
[08:56] <vexaxv> fizyplankton, i have ubuntu on a usb
[08:56] <fizyplankton> vexaxv: is the broken ubuntu on the usb?
[08:56] <vexaxv> fizyplankton, no its a new copy
[08:57] <fizyplankton> vexaxv: then if you just deleted a folder, boot live from the usb and copy it
[08:57] <vexaxv> fizyplankton, i deleted the pkg via synaptic
[08:57] <SolarisBoy> or you can boot the cd mount the drive and chroot into it
[08:57] <fizyplankton> now thats an idea.
[08:57] <llutz_> vexaxv: boot into normal mode, login at console, install your package
[08:57] <Moscherkobold> hello everyone, is this the right place to ask a question about ubuntu one?
[08:57] <gkaklas> vexaxv, could you repeat your problem with gnome..?
[08:57] <vexaxv> k so wait if im on live desktop via usb how do i get into my o.s to install gnome-session back
[08:58] <llutz_> vexaxv: why do you use recovery mode with all its limitations for this?
[08:58] <vexaxv> i accidentally deleted gnome-session
[08:58] <fizyplankton> llutz_: its not that simple
[08:58] <llutz_> fizyplankton: it is
[08:58] <SolarisBoy> llutz_: problem being setting up his wireless is a task for a beginner
[08:58] <vexaxv> so when i try to login theres nothing not kdm gnome unity
[08:58] <vexaxv> nothin
[08:58] <jstoone> Hi, I'm using Xmonad as my default window-manager and I need to execute a cmd when i login. What is the best way of doing this?
[08:58] <llutz_> SolarisBoy: nmcli exists
[08:58] <SolarisBoy> its true
[08:58] <llutz_> vexaxv: console-login not X
[08:58] <llutz_> vexaxv: boot, pres alt-ctrl-f1, login
[08:59] <SolarisBoy> let see if that works.....
[08:59] <gkaklas> vexaxv, what does come up when you boot?
[08:59] <jstoone> llutz_: that is tty1 right?
[08:59] <llutz_> jstoone: yes
[08:59] <jstoone>  llutz_: thanks
[08:59] <llutz_> jstoone: line above was not meant for you
[09:00] <vexaxv> i can boot normal and it goes to the login screen
[09:00] <vexaxv> but when u switch from unity to gnome
[09:00] <vexaxv> that little ubuntu button
[09:00] <llutz_> vexaxv: boot, pres alt-ctrl-f1, login
[09:00] <vexaxv> on the login screen
[09:00] <vexaxv> theres nothing
[09:00] <vexaxv> im trying llutz
[09:00]  * SolarisBoy yawns
[09:00] <FloodBot1> vexaxv: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:00] <fidel_> !enter > vexaxv
[09:00] <jstoone> llutz_: sorry, my bad, i needs to be executed each time i boot
[09:00] <vexaxv> llutz_, it just beeps nothing happens
[09:01] <jstoone> llutz_: have to go, but thanks!
[09:01] <llutz_> vexaxv: press "ALT-CTRL-F2"
[09:01] <llutz_> jstoone: line above was not meant for you, i havent answered to your problem
[09:02] <vexaxv> llutz, beeps again then nothing
[09:02] <llutz_> vexaxv: then you have way more problems than just a removed package
[09:02] <vexaxv> llutz, wait it opped up then disappeared
[09:02] <vexaxv> hang on
[09:02] <fizyplankton> vexaxv: if your not in any graphics manager, press alt-sysrq(aka print screen)-r then do ctrl-alt-f1. if you are in a display manager, do ctrl-alt-sysrq-r then ctrl-alt-f1
[09:03] <SolarisBoy> i love those sysrq combos =) super old school
[09:03] <fizyplankton> i know right!
[09:03] <SolarisBoy> lols ;>
[09:03] <fizyplankton> unfortunatly, i frequantly have to use REISUB because my xorg.conf is a nightmare
[09:04] <fizyplankton> and i refuse to try to clean it up because it took me 14 solid hours to get it working
[09:04] <SolarisBoy> yea - sounds like me - i haven't touched anything named xorg. in a long time - my box works lol
[09:04] <sbattey> fizyplankton it;s not just your xorg.conf that is a nightmare….the entire x system is a nightmare
[09:04] <sbattey> I say we cleanse it with fire.
[09:04] <pbx2> how to move the close buttons etc to the right in ubuntu 12.04 lts
[09:04] <SolarisBoy> i think its more so what people do with x to break it
[09:05] <SolarisBoy> lol
[09:05] <sbattey> X is flawed for what it's used for.
[09:05] <fizyplankton> sbattey: get this. i cant use xrandr. im stuck bridging 2 physical graphics cards across 4 monitors with.....wait for it........XCINERAMA
[09:05] <SolarisBoy> oh heck nah
[09:05] <sbattey> Sounds raunchy.
[09:06] <lukicat> how to let ubuntu 12.04 look like e.g. 11.10?
[09:06] <SolarisBoy> ??
[09:06] <SolarisBoy> assuming you have what DE setup?
[09:06] <SolarisBoy> lukicat: do you mean classic gnome?
[09:06] <lukicat> yes
[09:06] <fizyplankton> get this. the when the screensaver turns off, you can see a drop in mem usage on the system monitor graph. hey, a fullscreen app across over five and a half million pixels takes alot of memory
[09:06] <vexaxv> k i got it to work and im in the terminal again but this time when i type ifconfig eth0 pops up
[09:06] <SolarisBoy> im sure the macro link is just a coming,, give it a sec..
[09:07] <vexaxv> how do i enable it so i can download the pkgs
[09:07] <SolarisBoy> fizyplankton: madness !! lol
[09:07] <pbx2> I only get 2d option in login...i don't think you can get gnome in ubuntu 12.04
[09:07] <vexaxv> pbx2, u can
[09:07] <SolarisBoy> vexaxv: thats not hte command i gave you =)
[09:07] <pbx2> vexaxv, how?
[09:07] <SolarisBoy> ifconfig lists interfaces - more options/arguments convfigures them
[09:07] <vexaxv> SolarisBoy, okay what do i do solaris
[09:07] <llutz_> vexaxv: "nmcli con"   it should show you your connections. take the connection name of your wifi-connection and "nmcli con id "that_name" up"
[09:08] <SolarisBoy> look into nmcli thing that llutz mentioned
[09:08] <SolarisBoy> its likely you best option
[09:08] <vexaxv> pbx2, synaptic, install gnome-session
[09:08] <SolarisBoy> && no internet in safe more - wlan only interface - configured via nm - sounds like llutz_ hit it on the head to me..
[09:08] <pbx2> so its not possible to move the close buttons to the right with unity?
[09:09] <tank> Hi pbx2! You can use myUnity or Ubuntu tweak
[09:09] <iceroot> !controls | pbx2
[09:09] <vexaxv> llutz, im trying to connect to ballhome so how do i type it
[09:10] <pbx2> iceroot, the bug link has way too many comments to go through
[09:10] <SolarisBoy> as in the network? ballhome? if you bring up the interface via nm
[09:10] <iceroot> pbx2: there is one command with gconf
[09:10] <llutz_> vexaxv: "ballhome" is given under NAME when you run "nmcli con"?
[09:10] <SolarisBoy> it would automatically look for you remembered networks afaik
[09:10] <SolarisBoy> i think thats the SSID he wants in on
[09:10] <vexaxv> llutz, yes
[09:11] <pbx2> iceroot, do we press alt + f2 to go to gconf
[09:11] <iceroot> pbx2: gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
[09:11] <llutz_> vexaxv: nmcli con id "ballhome" up
[09:11] <iceroot> pbx2: type that in a terminal
[09:11] <pbx2> iceroot, thanks. it works :)
[09:12] <vexaxv> llutz, says error con and id are not valid
[09:12] <SolarisBoy> is the interface up?
[09:12] <SolarisBoy> im sitting looking at my nmcli con output and i see my wireless nets from home
[09:12] <iceroot> pbx2: it was the first entry in the bug :)
[09:12] <llutz_> vexaxv: err*           nmcli con up id "ballhome"
[09:13] <vexaxv> says device not managed by network manager
[09:13] <llutz_> SolarisBoy: those are the connection-names from networkmanager, not necessarily ssids
[09:13] <lymon> can someone help me install a wireless adapter then i should be out of your hairs for a while :P
[09:13] <vexaxv> i setup that network thats the ssid
[09:13] <vexaxv> ballhome
[09:13] <SolarisBoy> vexaxv: try this please: 'nmcli con status'
[09:13] <fizyplankton> lymon: is it a broadcom adapter?
[09:13] <SolarisBoy> and tell or post what comes back
[09:13] <SolarisBoy> those are ssids
[09:14] <vexaxv> nothing is listed llutz
[09:14] <SolarisBoy> in the status command?
[09:14] <vexaxv> just says name uuid devices default vpm master-path
[09:14] <lymon> not sure but its a linksys wusb100
[09:14] <SolarisBoy> so no interfaces are up
[09:14] <vexaxv> doesent look like it i guess
[09:15] <vexaxv> my internet icon on my laptop is red
[09:15] <vexaxv> not blue
[09:15] <llutz_> vexaxv: nmcli -p dev
[09:15] <vexaxv> so id say no
[09:15] <kmdm> Ok, I give up, how do I just report a new bug in Ubuntu when I simply can't use ubuntu-bug to file it and the obvious web link just redirects to the wiki page instructing you to use ubuntu-bug? :/ Is there just the web-form hiding anywhere?
[09:15] <pbx2> iceroot: it doesn't work for Firefox?
[09:15] <llutz_> vexaxv: does it show wlan0?
[09:15] <vexaxv> eth0 and wlan0 llutz
[09:15] <vexaxv> yes
[09:15] <iceroot> pbx2: working for all programs
[09:15] <fizyplankton> lymon: you are in luck. mine is a linksys wusb300n. the procedures should be similar (tho you wont like it one bit
[09:15] <pbx2> maybe I need to restart...
[09:16] <lymon> alright then so whats up....?
[09:16] <SolarisBoy> nmcli nm enable wifi
[09:16] <fizyplankton> let me see if the kernal patch is compatible with your card
[09:16] <SolarisBoy> that may be what you all are looking to do..
[09:16] <vexaxv> how do i turn on wlan0 through nmcli
[09:17] <lymon> as in graphics card?
[09:17] <nibbler_> hi. in ubuntu 12.4 i cannot use the gnome file browser to connect to my samba share anymore (smb://$IP/share) - i checked my settings with smbclient - there it works. any  hint?
[09:17] <lymon> bad news with that lol.... my graphics card shows up as unknown
[09:17] <fizyplankton> wifi card
[09:17] <lymon> oic
[09:17] <fizyplankton> this is best handled in a pm
[09:18] <SolarisBoy> vexaxv: the wlan is seen if it shows in print devices - have you tried that enable thing?
[09:18] <SolarisBoy> 'nmcli nm enable wifi'
[09:18] <eul3r> hello.
[09:18] <vexaxv> invalid paremeters
[09:18] <gkaklas> kmdm, I'm not sure but try this link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect
[09:19] <llutz_> vexaxv: nmcli nm wifi on
[09:19] <kmdm> gkaklas: You're a star :) thanks!
[09:19] <vexaxv> llutz, k light is still red but i typed it and nothing came up
[09:20] <vexaxv> nm
[09:20] <eul3r> my
[09:20] <eul3r> .04
[09:20] <vexaxv> i typed sudo apt-get install gimp to test it and all the mirrors it says could not resolve
[09:20] <llutz_> vexaxv: try again:  nmcli con up id ballhome              <- make sure to spell ballhome exact as given from "nmcli con"
[09:21] <iceroot> vexaxv: which ubuntu-version?
[09:22] <vexaxv> im on ballhome right now on this laptop and that laptop says not managed by network manager or unavailable
[09:22] <vexaxv> ubuntu 12.04
[09:22] <iceroot> vexaxv: ah ok seeing what llutz_ is saying it seems more of a network problem then the eol problem
[09:22] <vexaxv> im about to just reinstall dang
[09:22] <vexaxv> i just need internet in the terminal so i can reinstall the gnome-session >.<
[09:23] <vexaxv> whats rf kill
[09:23] <vexaxv> i typed sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and it says it cant due to rf kill
[09:23] <llutz_> vexaxv: sudo rfkill unblock all
[09:24] <eul3r> can
[09:24] <vexaxv> still says it cant due to rf kill
[09:25] <llutz_> vexaxv: "rfkill list wifi"  does it show hard- or soft-blocked for your wifi?
[09:25] <pungi-man> i am having some problem running xmonad can anyone please sovel it.this text (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004401/) is coming when i run it in terminal by the command "xmonad" without quotes. I am using ubuntu 12.04
[09:25] <pbx2> iceroot, it doesn't work for windows which are maximized. the close buttons are to the left if maximized.
[09:25] <vexaxv> hard for hp wifi
[09:25] <vexaxv> phy0 hard
[09:25] <pbx2> and I don't like the file and menu options being merged with the top bar
[09:25] <llutz_> vexaxv: does your laptop have any key-combos/switches to en-/disable wifi?
[09:26] <eul3r> the
[09:26] <llutz_> eul3r:  Do you have any ubuntu support related question?
[09:26] <vexaxv> the touch button on my laptop but it wont work when i touch it
[09:26] <pbx2> is it possible to have separate windows, where options are not merged with taskbar?
[09:26] <vexaxv> nm i got it
[09:26] <SolarisBoy> switch was off?
[09:26] <vexaxv> the light is blue now >.<
[09:26] <pbx2> i.e. File, Edit etc...
[09:26] <llutz_> vexaxv: try again:  nmcli con up id ballhome              again
[09:27] <vexaxv> i think im already connecting sudo apt-get update is going
[09:27] <vexaxv> :)
[09:27] <SolarisBoy> whammy
[09:27] <vexaxv> yep update worked
[09:27] <vexaxv> holy cow :)
[09:27] <llutz_> in the end ...
[09:28] <vexaxv> installing gnome-session >.<
[09:28] <pbx2> is there supposed to be some 3d effects I am not seeing like in windows 7 aero theme where you can preview the windows minimized etc?
[09:29] <vexaxv> thank u guys
[09:29] <vexaxv> gotta wait and make sure it works now..

[09:30] <loculinux> Hola
[09:30] <mrgt> hey. having a problem with my wireless card. attempted to follow the steps listed here - https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html. But after installing the driver it's still displaying the pci as 'unclaimed'
[09:30] <BlouBlou> cryptfu: no
[09:31] <vexaxv> woohoo it worked thanks guys
[09:31] <BlouBlou> CrypticS_: ^
[09:31] <CrypticS_> BlouBlou: screenie coming dropbox is stuffing up.. hold on
[09:31] <Magnu> im not sure how to get tvtime to work with an avermedia, "AVerTV Volar HD" (N11360). it seems possible but i have no real idea of what im doing.
[09:31] <BlouBlou> loculinux: hi
[09:32] <pbx2> is there some hotkey for workspace switcher?

[09:33] <CrypticS_> BlouBlou: https://www.dropbox.com/s/914wzb4if7gcexh/screenshot.png

[09:33] <loculinux> Hello dido
[09:33] <pbx2> pungi-man, that doesn't work
[09:33] <BlouBlou> CrypticS_: interesting, I have never seen how to enable it
[09:34] <pungi-man> configure it in Compiz settings
[09:34] <BlouBlou> anyways, no 3D glasses :P
[09:34] <CrypticS_> BlouBlou: just did the standard upgrade and that's how it rebooted
[09:35] <mayanks43> hey, my wifi stopped working after upgrade to 12.04
[09:35] <pbx2> pungi-man, where is the Compiz settings?
[09:35] <mayanks43> i can't see wlan0 in iwconfig
[09:35] <pungi-man> type ccsm in unity home
[09:35] <mayanks43> and sudo modprobe iwlwifi shows not found
[09:35] <mayanks43> any ideas?
[09:36] <pbx2> pungi-man, no matches
[09:38] <llutz_> mayanks43: "modprobe -l iwl*"
[09:39] <mayanks43> llutz_: FATAL: Can't have multiple wildcards

[09:40] <d8bhatta> Hello, my client has provided me pub key in a file called newservername.pub , and I do already have my  keys in my local host.  I am not sure how can i include that .pub file in my computer so that I can perform sftp or ssh? Help needed!
[09:40] <llutz_> mayanks43: uname -r
[09:41] <mayanks43> llutz_: 3.3.6
[09:41] <SolarisBoy> d8bhatta: you can use it manually like this ssh -i .pub or you can setup for .ssh/config file to point it automaticlly each time
[09:42] <llutz_> mayanks43: check changelogs for 3.3.x then. 3.2.x has come with iwlwifi, no idea why 3.3. doesn't
[09:42] <mayanks43> ok
[09:42] <georgee> I tried to install suphp and Browser starts downloading PHP files any ideas?
[09:42] <SolarisBoy> d8bhatta: technically the command would be more like 'ssh -i /path/to/key.pub user@host' but as stated you can setup in .ssh/config or the global alternative to point the Host and what user and what key to use - and then you can simply do 'ssh hostname' and the setttings will be read in
[09:42] <llutz_> mayanks43: or does iwlegacy replace it now? idk
[09:42] <arturaz> Hello. I'm planning on installing ubuntu 12.04 on a fresh server with two 300GB drives. Can default server installer make them into mirror raid?
[09:43] <mayanks43> llutz_: not sure
[09:43] <pbx2> its my understanding that you can set up a file server for a small office using ubuntu os...but where do all the cat6 wires from other computers go...assuming the office is not set up for wireless
[09:43] <arturaz> Hello. I'm planning on installing ubuntu 12.04 on a fresh server with two 300GB drives. Can default server installer make them into mirror raid? And will GRUB will be able to boot it?
[09:43] <llutz_> mayanks43: what wifi-chipset?
[09:44] <llutz_> pbx2: to a router/gateway/patchfield
[09:44] <mayanks43> Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6230 AGN
[09:44] <pbx2> will like a simple network switch work as a router?
[09:44] <pbx2> because there are many computers
[09:44] <pbx2> routers only have 4 ports
[09:44] <llutz_> pbx2: switches exist
[09:45] <zparta> you connect a cable from the router to the switch and connect the computers to the switch
[09:45] <llutz_> mayanks43: modinfo iwlegacy              shows only 3945/4965 as suported with 3.2.x
[09:46] <pbx2> zparta, so everything gets connected to the switch right? i.e. isp connection, file server, all the computers?
[09:46] <zparta> isp in the router
[09:46] <mayanks43> llutz_: same here
[09:46] <zparta> on th wan port
[09:46] <eul3r> Ubuntu has hard freezed on my laptop . I can move mouse pointer but cant click anything  I can't shut down my laptop too . What do I need to do ?
[09:46] <llutz_> mayanks43: i'd check kernel-changelogs then
[09:46] <zparta> pbx2: and one cable from the 4 lan ports on the router to the switch then connect all computers to the switch including the file server
[09:46] <mayanks43> llutz_: k
[09:47] <fidel_> eul3r: 1 option is ssh-in and use the shutdown cmd
[09:47] <Drajwer> anyone using 12.04 lts with gnome panels?
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> hmm. now why would i  be able to ssh into my box via its ip directly, but not via its dyndns.org type name. which was working earlier today. guess a dyndns issue.
[09:47] <Drajwer> are gnome panels in official repos still?
[09:47] <eul3r> fidel_: i can't do anything. Ubuntu doesnt respond to keypress.
[09:47] <pbx2> zparta, thanks, and does it matter which kind of switch I buy? like there are unmanaged and managed switches?
[09:48] <fidel_> eul3r: i am talking about using another computer - login from that box via ssh to the 'problem-box' and cause a shutdown from that remote session
[09:48] <d8bhatta> SolarisBoy: thanks, I just realized that the provided file is called  newtestserver.pem and when I run the command you gave "ssh -i /path/to/key.pub user@host" it gives error like ssh: Could not resolve hostname newtestserver.pem: Name or service not known . This error may be reasonable because of .pem file
[09:48] <Magnu> im not sure how to get tvtime to work with an avermedia, "AVerTV Volar HD" (N11360). it seems possible but i have no real idea of what im doing. so far it says"no video source".
[09:49] <fidel_> eul3r: as alternative idea - try pressing: CTRL + ALT + F1  (if you are used to tty)
[09:49] <SolarisBoy> same deal d8bhatta just use proper file name - and also. keys have specific permission to keep 600 on the file 700 on the top level folder
[09:49] <SolarisBoy> just an fyi =)
[09:49] <eul3r> fidel_: ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt work
[09:50] <TobsCore> hey, is HUD implemented in Ubuntu 12.04?
[09:50] <TobsCore> and if so, how can I trigger it?
[09:51] <Hyperbyte> Hey.  Anyone here who has experience with Samba and LDAP?  With 12.04, I can't connect to shares anymore.  Samba has problems with getting the right primary group ID for a user.
[09:51] <yeats> TobsCore: when you have a program open, hit the alt key
[09:52] <TobsCore> yeats, thanks :)
[09:53] <Dr_Willis> hold down  SUPER key to show keybindings for unity
[09:53] <d8bhatta> SolarisBoy: great..it perfectly works. thanks, great support.
[09:53] <SolarisBoy> sure buddy ;>
[09:53] <eul3r> fidel_: I get network error : connection timed out.
[09:53] <yeats> Dr_Willis: nice - I didn't know that
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> yeats:  time to check  out some new features in 12.04 sites/guides ;)
[09:55] <zparta> pbx2: does not matter in a small scale network
[09:55] <yeats> Dr_Willis: yeah - just haven't bothered :-)
[09:55] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: your smb.conf wouldn't have changed at all would it have?
[09:55] <pungi-man> i am having some problem running xmonad can anyone please sovel it.this text (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004401/) is coming when i run it in terminal by the command "xmonad" without quotes. I am using ubuntu 12.04 gnome
[09:55] <kippy> Guys, can I re-connect to same x-session after a disconnect? I am using xrdp (on server) and remmina to connect
[09:55] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: also specifically which ldap? microsoft AD "ldap" or a real implementation of ldap like openLDAP?
[09:55] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, I've changed some things.  I don't think the problem is in smb.conf though.
[09:56] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, 389 directory server. :)
[09:56] <fidel_> eul3r: mh - if it doesnt react on CTRL+ALT+F1 nor to a ssh-connect you havent that much options left
[09:56] <SolarisBoy> SolarisBoy: ohhh nice =) indeed
[09:56] <Hyperbyte> I'll provide you with a full log file of what happens.
[09:56] <Malsasa> Hello, i wanna do compilation for applications from source in ubuntu... what should i prepare for that?
[09:56] <SolarisBoy> uh oh -
[09:56] <pbx2> zparta: appreciate the information. thanks. :)
[09:56] <fidel_> eul3r: there are some sys-keys you might be able to press - but i dont have them in mind. maybe someone else can hel
[09:56] <fidel_> *help*
[09:56] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: j.p ill take a look - no promises - im in the office =)
[09:56] <llutz_> !compile | Malsasa
[09:56] <SolarisBoy> if it's jumping out and stabbing me ill tell you about it though
[09:56] <llutz_> !checkinstall | Malsasa
[09:57] <eul3r> I am using PuTTY for ssh . I just need to type in ip address right fidel_ ?
[09:57] <Malsasa> wow, thank you.
[09:57] <Malsasa> I dont know it before...
[09:57] <fidel_> eul3r: i am not using putty myself - but yeah: defining protocol and host ip should be everything you need to do afaik
[09:58] <CrypticSquared> so back to my 3D ubuntu problem.. anyone seen it before?
[09:58] <fidel_> putty should ask for the user afterwards afaik
[09:58] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, that is very much appreciated.  Samba logs say on connect that primary group SID of a user, does not match the domain of the user.  pdbedit -u jan -v  shows this to be correct, different SID's.  This is the full debug output form pdbedit -u jan -v:  http://dev.hfive.nl/sambaldap.txt
[09:58] <Hyperbyte> Search for the text "primary group" to jump to the interesting part
[09:58] <SolarisBoy> ahh
[09:59] <SolarisBoy> i swear i saw that before.. hmm
[09:59] <kippy> How can I reconnect to same remote x-session after a disconnect? I am using xrdp on remote machine and remmina to connect
[09:59] <Hyperbyte> The group exists in ldap.  'net groupmap list' confirms it.  I've ran the LDAP query manually, it gives exactly one result - the correct group.  Yet somehow Samba thinks it is not a domain group.
[10:00] <Hyperbyte> The type of the group is specified while creating the groupmap as type=domain though, and LDAP sambaGroupType is 2, which reflects that.
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> kippy:  try reconnecting yet? its possible the x-session closed and you cant reconnect
[10:00] <SolarisBoy> silly question your nsswitch didn't change?
[10:00] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, mmm...
[10:01] <kippy> Dr_willis, i reconnected, but it gives me a new session i think with the desktop, I can't see my running applications, although pgrep lists them
[10:01] <Hyperbyte> Well yes actually
[10:01] <SolarisBoy> mmhmm interesting
[10:01] <Hyperbyte> Rather than specify "ldap files" it now says "files ldap"
[10:01] <SolarisBoy> swap it back?
[10:01] <SolarisBoy> and try that again
[10:01] <SolarisBoy> no restarts should be needed .
[10:01] <Hyperbyte> Will try.
[10:01] <SolarisBoy> kk
[10:02] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, no change.
[10:02] <georgee> is there a command to mannually delete logs with logograte rather than set a cron ?
[10:02] <hroi> Im looking at a blade station that can offer 1TB in DDR3 RAM.
[10:02] <SolarisBoy> oy
[10:02] <hroi> 16 cores
[10:03] <hroi> Im wondering if the linux kernel supports such large RAM memory access
[10:03] <SolarisBoy> what type of blade station?
[10:03] <llutz_> georgee: logrotate <config-file>
[10:03] <SolarisBoy> just curious - vendor etc.
[10:03] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: going to actually look at the log now..
[10:03] <hroi> SolarisBoy: DELL power edge R 910
[10:04] <georgee> llutz_: the location of config-file?
[10:04] <llutz_> georgee: /etc/logrotate.d/*   perhaps
[10:04] <hroi> SolarisBoy:  can buy this blade direct from DELL for 30-50k$, can have 1TB RAM, 16core for this money,
[10:05] <llutz_> georgee: or just /etc/logrotate.conf   for the main-config
[10:05] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, thanks
[10:05] <hroi> SolarisBoy:  I imagine I could run a knockout web-service with one of these things
[10:05] <eul3r> So i can ping into my laptop which has hard-freezed but cant ssh into it . Any solution ?
[10:05] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/administrators/32979-solved-repair-corrupted-ldap.html
[10:05] <georgee> llutz_: -bash: /etc/logrotate.conf: Permission denied
[10:05] <Darael> Is there a known issue with multiple keyboard layouts after upgrade to precise?  Because I'm having trouble on about four different machines.  Each account is stuck in its default layout from pre-upgrade - others are selectable in the indicator, but doing so has no effect.  My extra options (compose key, caps-lock-as-backspace, layout-shift-keys...) seem to have stopped, too.
[10:05] <SolarisBoy> possible hit for you - still looking..
[10:06] <SolarisBoy> hroi: heck yea man =)
[10:06] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, been Googling all morning... that last link is specific to some software callled Zimbra.
[10:06] <llutz_> georgee: needs sudo
[10:06] <Magnu> im not sure how to get tvtime to work with an avermedia, "AVerTV Volar HD" (N11360). it seems possible but i have no real idea of what im doing. so far it says"no video source".
[10:06] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: sure - but zimbra uses ldap the same
[10:07] <unkn-error> anyone know what is the maximum swap size partition for 32bit with kernel 3.x? I have read that 2.4 or 2.6 had a maximum of 2 Gb size per swap partition, but I have also read that some people use 256 Gb of swap
[10:07] <SolarisBoy> he has the same error UNKNOWN error thingy.
[10:07] <SolarisBoy> and from what i recall it could be related to some thing deep in the user setting or group setting
[10:07] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, yeah, but their solution is delete and remake the account in Zimbra.
[10:07] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: you need the equivalent
[10:07] <SolarisBoy> possibly delete and recreate the _user_
[10:07] <SolarisBoy> ?
[10:08] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: also i said - possible hit =) - not the hit
[10:08] <need> i need help with my MBR
[10:08] <Darael> !elaborate | need
[10:08] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, I can't delete and recreate my LDAP users...  well I suppose I could, but it'd cause a whole lot more problems than what I have now.  Good link though, if it had more technical info I'd be happy now.
[10:08] <SolarisBoy> no
[10:09] <SolarisBoy> the local mapped user/group
[10:09] <SolarisBoy> assuming you have that..
[10:09] <Hyperbyte> Groupmaps are stored in LDAP, I have recreated those a few times.
[10:10] <need> i have corrupt my MBR, i can not enter ubuntu
[10:10] <need> i am using live cd
[10:11] <anil> hi guys i have tata photon plus wireless datacard india  it gets automatically disconnected aftr arnd three hours i have to restart my sys then start intrnet all ove again what seems to be the prblm
[10:11] <ikonia> anil: probably your carrier disconnecting you after 3 hours usage
[10:12] <need> i need to fix the MBR with out reinstall ubuntu
[10:12] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: ok
[10:12] <anil> so it hs nothing to do with the OS ryt??
[10:12] <ikonia> anil: probably not
[10:12] <anil> ok thnx
[10:12] <ikonia> !fixgrub > need
[10:12] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: can you post the ldapsearch line showing the user/group and then show the id of the same from the client? side
[10:13] <alFReD-NSH> I accidentally deleted a lot of js/coffee files
[10:13] <alFReD-NSH> any idea how to recover?
[10:13] <ikonia> alFReD-NSH: they are gone
[10:13] <need> the text is so small i cant see anything
[10:13] <alFReD-NSH> tried scalpel , but it needs headers...
[10:13] <ikonia> need: what can you not see ?
 Is there a max?
[10:14] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, http://dev.hfive.nl/ldapsearch.txt
[10:14] <need> the text of the chat page is so small
[10:14] <alFReD-NSH> So there's no way that I can recover text files?
[10:14] <eul3r> I can ping to my laptop but can't ssh into it using putty . I get network error : connection refused. What do i do ?
[10:15] <llutz_> eul3r: start ssh on the laptop

[10:15] <CrypticSquared> BlouBlou: it was the radiance theme
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> eul3r: so power it off/back on
[10:16] <yeats> eul3r: any reason you wouldn't want to do a hard reset on the laptop?
[10:16] <BlouBlou> fail?
[10:16] <eul3r> Dr_Willis: I can't power it off . Tried many times
[10:16] <mcphail> eul3r: alt-sysrq + REISUB to reboot
[10:16] <Magnu> is this post visable?
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> eul3r:  press hold power button for like 10 sec
[10:16] <yeats> Magnu: yes
[10:16] <EsZettAal> need: I suppose you can influence the font size of the webchat in your browser settings

[10:17] <sirriffsalot> Hey guys! My 3.2.0-23-lowlatency version which I access from grub has a completely messed up screen resolution after downloading a nvidia driver in my 0-24-generic...:(
[10:17] <eul3r> Dr_Willis: tried it 2-3 times. Trying again now.
[10:17] <Azimuth_> !vhost<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:17] <sirriffsalot> I get this as the beginning error: "Could not apply stored configuration for monitors"
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> eul3r:  every laptop ive everf seen - i could press and hold power for like 10-15 sec and it would force a power off
[10:17] <Azimuth_> #vhost
[10:17] <mcphail> eul3r: hold down alt+sysRq keys and type REISUB slowly
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> if the laptop has a sysreq key. ;)
[10:19] <ARTSIOM> I am compiling a program in ubuntu 12.04, and it is faling with " undefined reference to `SDL_CreateRGBSurface'", I have libsdl1.2-dev library installed. If it is a wrong channel for this question, can you please point me to a correct one
[10:20] <eul3r> Dr_Willis: thanks a lot ! Your solution worked :) Thanks mcphail too ! Any precaution i need to take to avoid this happening in future ?
[10:20] <llutz_> eul3r: install openssh-server and hope it will be responsive on hard-freezes
[10:20] <sirriffsalot> No one? I've been at it for a day now...
[10:21] <eul3r> ok llutz_ . Forgot to thank you too :P
[10:21] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: looking
[10:21] <iceroot> what is the driver i want to install for a geforce 540m if the driver-tool is not offering a non-free driver?
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> isent theres some kernel/auto reboot on hard dreaze thing?
[10:21] <dz0ny> @eul3r is this ati graphic card?
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  i normally insgtgall nvidia-curent and hope for the best
[10:21] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, it is very much appreciated!  I'm quite stumped with this.
[10:21] <eul3r> ah btw is there a good pdf editor which can select text , highlight text , add/remove notes etc ? I tried xournal but I didn't like it
[10:21] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: from the repos? that is the nonfree? with 3d?
[10:21] <alFReD-NSH> y u no ppl tell me that I could do this `sudo cat /dev/loop0 | grep --binary-files=text -10 'doctype 5'`
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  yes.
[10:22] <lymon> can someone help me install wine and then diablo 3? :P
[10:22] <yeats> sirriffsalot: can you do 'lsmod | grep nouveau'?
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> alFReD-NSH:  we have no idea what you are talking about
[10:22] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: ok so now on the samba client - said group exists? GID 1500?
[10:22] <alFReD-NSH> Dr_Willis: for recovering deleted files
[10:22] <sirriffsalot> yeats: in the lowlatency version?
[10:22] <yeats> !wine | lymon
[10:23] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: thank you for the info, i will have a look
[10:23] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, for the client that doesn't matter.  But on the Samba server Unix group 1500 exists (via LDAP)
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> alFReD-NSH:  i imagine the success rate of that working - can be rather random
[10:23] <alFReD-NSH> Dr_Willis: `doctype 5` was a unique string in the files, so yeah that worked :)
[10:23] <yeats> sirriffsalot: I'm not familiar with what that is, but I'm guessing that nouveau is getting loaded which is why your resolution is wrong
[10:23] <eul3r> I am using mendeley desktop currently but i wanna know if there are better options available !
[10:23] <Magnu> im not sure how to get tvtime to work with an avermedia, "AVerTV Volar HD" (N11360). it seems possible but i have no real idea of what im doing. so far it says"no video source".
[10:24] <alFReD-NSH> Dr_Willis: but well worked for me, found most of them :D
[10:24] <Hyperbyte> I'm not actually running a primary domain controller here... I just need to share some files with a Windows machine, under LDAP user credentials
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> Magnu:  i tend to hit the mythtv forums when messing with tv tuners. ;) often hass good guides.. even if its not tvtimespecific
[10:24] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: cool - is there a working account for comparison value?
[10:24] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, nope.
[10:25] <Hyperbyte> As long as Samba doesn't recognise the primary group, and translates that to a strange group SID not belonging inside the domain, Samba won't allow logins.
[10:25] <Calyp> Anyone has any idea why a computer booting from a Ubuntu 12.04 CD hangs immedietely witha black screen only saying "Loading boot logo.."
 cheers
[10:26] <SolarisBoy> fun stuff
[10:26] <yeats> sirriffsalot: if nouveau shows up in 'lsmod', you'll need to blacklist it for your nvidia driver to work
[10:26] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset | Calyp
[10:26] <Hyperbyte> The whole problem is I can't log on.  I can't log on because my primary group SID isn't part of the domain.  The group SID isn't part of the domain because Samba assigns another one, because it won't recognise my primary gorup iN DALP.
[10:26] <Hyperbyte> I'm quite confident that once Samba assigns the correct primary group, all my problems are over.
[10:26] <sirriffsalot> yeats: alright. finally I might actually learn what blacklisting means?:)
[10:26] <SolarisBoy> question what if anything changed? did you mention an update? on the samba client?
[10:27] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, from 11.04 (Samba 3.5) to 12.04 (Samba 3.6).
[10:27] <Hyperbyte> I read on forums that the group checking has become a lot stricter between 3.5 and 3.6... so I assume this has always been broken, and is only now becoming a problem.
[10:28] <yeats> sirriffsalot: do 'sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf' and add a line to the bottom of the file that says 'blacklist nouveau'
[10:29] <Bauldrick> anyone point me to getting ipod 5g 'seen' un 12.04
[10:29] <love4linux> hhello everyone.. I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on a laptop with two disks (win7 and previously ubuntu 11) but the bootloader fails to install... anyone can help me with this issue? or any tutorial that I can follow?
[10:30] <sirriffsalot> yeats: cheers, will try after breakfast:)
[10:31] <jiltdil> How to recover data of lvm?
[10:31] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: can please post smb.conf?
[10:31] <tdn> At this bug report, I am asked to chroot into my old rootfs and do apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. However, I am unsure what is needed in order to make a working chroot. Can you help me? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1003309
[10:31] <iceroot> what is the easiet way to see if my system is using 3d from my vga without installing a game?

[10:31] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub | lovelin
[10:31] <tdn> jiltdil, what do you mean by recover?
[10:31] <dz0ny> love4linux: did you disable boot anti-virus also what error do you get?
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  using nvidia, run nvidia-settings tool
[10:31] <jiltdil> tdn, Lvm is corrupt, i want to get data back please tell me
[10:32] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, http://dev.hfive.nl/smbconf.txt
[10:32] <tdn> jiltdil, please elaborate. How is lvm corrupt? How do you detect this? And what have you tried so far?
[10:32] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: ok "you are not using nvidia x driver" is maybe the answer i was searching for
[10:33] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: or better its not the answer i am searching for but is answering my questions
[10:33] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  you did run that tool and have it write teh xorg.conf file?
[10:33] <jiltdil> tdn, using testdisk
[10:33] <SolarisBoy> looks sane - i see no idmap lines but w/e as you stated you may not need them....
[10:34] <SolarisBoy> can you up the ldap debug level and try again looking at the log?
[10:34] <jiltdil> tdn, please tell me method
[10:34] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: yes i will now restart x
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> iceroot, i tend to install nvidia-current, reboot, run nvidia-setting as root, save xorg.conf, then restrt x server
[10:34] <cristian_c> Hi
[10:34] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, maybe I do.
[10:34] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: strange is that nvidia-xsettings told me that my xorg.conf has a parsing error... i never editied by hand
[10:34] <love4linux> dz0ny: just before finishing the installation it pops up a message saying: "Bootloader install failed - Sorry, an error occured and it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specified location". That location is /dev/sdb5 which is described as the Ubuntu 12.04 lts drive
[10:34] <cristian_c> How can I enable pinch gesture on my touchpad in ubuntu?
[10:35] <Calyp> Dr_Willis: Tnx, but I don't get where I'm supposed to make this settings... (?)
[10:35] <jiltdil> Dr_Willis, I have a corrupt lvm. Want to recover Data please help me how to do this?
[10:35] <alFReD-NSH> what is the new line match in regex?
[10:35] <cristian_c> there is this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11300/how-do-i-test-multi-gesture-capabilities-of-a-touchpad
[10:35] <love4linux> dz0ny: i tried installing the bootloader at /dev/sdb with no luck
[10:35] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: me thinks so.. but also depending on setup you may not... its a little fuzzy - but if you never had it there (and it worked)- i think its a non issue
[10:35] <cristian_c> but I don't know how to use it
[10:36] <SolarisBoy> but those would be in smb.conf - so i can't see how an upgrade would wipe certain things and preserve others in a file alone
[10:36] <mkarim> salutatios
[10:36] <cristian_c> what set-props are about the pinch?
[10:36] <SolarisBoy> BUT it sounds like just like you said the mapping is broken - which i can only abstract to idmap lines and such in smb.conf
[10:36] <SolarisBoy> but turn up the debug lets see anything else occurs - Hyperbyte
[10:37] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: as it seems my mainproblem is that OPTIMUS is disabling the nvidia-card while x is starting
[10:37] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: i will do some research on that, thank you for the info about nvidia-xconfig
[10:37] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy - this has changed the problem
[10:38] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, are you still here in ~30 minutes?
[10:38] <Hyperbyte> Because I really need some lunch...
[10:38] <dz0ny> love4linux: i see,  can you post "tail /var/log/syslog" there shuold be some indication what's the error
[10:39] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, you're being a great help though!  I thank you from the bottom of my heart. :)
[10:39] <Magnu> how do i reply to a comment in xchat?
[10:39] <SolarisBoy> Hyperbyte: i think i had an ephinany
[10:39] <SolarisBoy> ill be here - in the office
[10:40] <dz0ny> love4linux: you might also read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity
[10:40] <Hyperbyte> I will definitely bug you later then.  Thanks a lot so far. :-)
[10:40] <SolarisBoy> just ping me a few times if anything - no worries sir - i like "interesting" issues like such - call me a glutten or w/e - umm one thing
[10:41] <SolarisBoy> :: /var/run/samba/*tdb || one of those may be corrupted - i recall blowing them away with likewise - im not suggesting it - but maybe it can help provide another path to look at

[10:43] <kosmosSO> and it's work - speed up ubuntu a lot
[10:47] <dz0ny> love4linux: looks like grub wasn't installed during installation of packages can you post uname -a
[10:49] <dz0ny> love4linux: also very good guide http://www.rodsbooks.com/ubuntu-efi/index.html
[10:49] <lymon> just wondering does anyone here use or know of lightworks?
[10:49] <love4linux> dz0ny: yes thats the problem, but why? uname -a gives "Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-23-generic-pae #36-ubuntu smp Tue Apr 10 22:19:09 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux"

[10:52] <Calyp> So I gave up on the loading boot logo freeze-up and tried another computer. Same thing, only it don't clear the initial bios bootscreen, so this one is like: "Booting atapi CD ROM:"  ... "Loading boot logo..."  and then nothing more. (12.4 on an old machine (read "Pentium 2")

[10:57] <xeviox> hi, where can I change the default sender address ("From" field) of system generated emails?
[10:57] <yeats> Calyp: but... I would assume that machine probably would not run regular Ubuntu - you might want to try Xubuntu or Lubuntu
[10:57] <stueng> iceroot: thanks I got xbmc running nicely as normal user, installed lightdm
[10:58] <xeviox> I've installed ssmtp and be able to send messages through it, sadly it doesn't work without a valid sender address as parameter
[10:58] <xeviox> but I want to use the option to rewrite the sender to the defaults one to be able to also get system messages sent..
[10:58] <stueng> when linux starts up my system spends a long time at "waiting for network configuration" I have commented out everything in /etc/network/interfaces. I dont want the system to wait for the network on boot, what I can do ?
[11:01] <stueng> anyone know of something that will monitor my bandwidth use? in real time? nice GUI looking thing?
[11:01] <SolarisBoy> uhhh
[11:02] <SolarisBoy> waiting for network means you have or may have a slow network
[11:02] <iceroot> stueng: nice to hear that
[11:02] <SolarisBoy> rather than bandwidth consumption - maybe your getting slow dhcp assignment or something?
[11:02] <sirriffsalot> yeats: I tried the command with nouveau, no luck.. nothing pops up, just a new line of "xxxx@xxxx:-#"
[11:02] <stueng> SolarisBoy: I dont want network, I commented out everything in interfaces I want to contorl the network after I boot
[11:02] <sirriffsalot> yeats: any other ideas?:)
[11:02] <SolarisBoy> but - like you should let interfaces bring up lo and stuff
[11:02] <SolarisBoy> stueng: leave lo up dude..
[11:02] <dontknow> chromium still 18, great!!!!!
[11:03] <Calyp> yeats: thanks, on another p3 it says thatthe kernel requires a feature missing in the CPU ( pae cmov )
[11:03] <stueng> yeah ill uncomment lo
[11:03] <sirriffsalot> yeats:  I don't have the any headers for lowlatency according to synaptic, could that be the reason?
[11:03] <stueng> its sat there waiting for something though... but whatever it is is not in interfaces so where else would it be ?
[11:03] <SolarisBoy> stueng: then once you do that ok - sure disable the interfaces.. it really depends _where_ they are managed at
[11:03] <SolarisBoy> stueng: network manager maybe?
[11:04] <SolarisBoy> stueng: anyway once you get a clean boot - restart network manually and see if it spits a clue on console or logs
[11:04] <stueng> SolarisBoy: the box is portable, in different locations it will connect oto different networks.  I want to manage the networks from inside XBMC with the nm-manager plugin
[11:05] <SolarisBoy> hmm - does that negate anything i mentioned ?
[11:05] <stueng> SolarisBoy: network manager works independantly of interfaces? is there a file I can edit to look at what its trying to do?
[11:05] <SolarisBoy> SolarisBoy: you can have both running - if it's interfaces afaik networkmanager should ignore - but yes there are more than one place or way an interface can get up'd
[11:06] <SolarisBoy> generally if it's happening dynamically on boot on a ubuntu box - its interfaces or network manager for defaults
[11:06] <stueng> SolarisBoy: right, and how would I configure NM? from the terminal? which file(s)?
[11:06] <SolarisBoy> stueng: nothing says you don't have some other not so common network utility running - but technically its not that fuzzy check network manager - check interfaces
[11:06] <SolarisBoy> stueng: either or
[11:07] <stueng> I dont have a window manager so I need to do this from terminal
[11:07] <SolarisBoy> stueng: most users will default to the applet configuration - but i think you can use the command line the sme
[11:07] <SolarisBoy> stueng: ^^
[11:07] <SolarisBoy> stueng: nm-tool i think will atleast print the configs for you
[11:07] <OranGO> yeah!
[11:08] <SolarisBoy> stueng: rather the interfaces its managing - and their status
[11:08] <stueng> SolarisBoy: yeah it spits out a list of SSIDs in range and the status of  eth0
[11:08] <SolarisBoy> so there you go
[11:09] <SolarisBoy> disable them there - either by command line - which i dont use nm so can't help much more than telling you to man the command
[11:09] <SolarisBoy> but stueng: if you see wlan ssid's there and you see eth0 thats whats managing those and thats whats bringing them up
[11:09] <shawny78> hello all, probably a simple question, but could someone tell me how to find out who is logged into your system (I'm guessing 'who' command) but also, what IP they are loggedd in from?
[11:09] <stueng> SolarisBoy: for example, in the gui, you can tick a box tha t says  "connect automatically"
[11:10] <stueng> SolarisBoy: so what I am looking for is the text based equivilant to unticking that box I guess
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> stueng: you need to man the command
[11:10] <jrib> shawny78: you can use "who" or "w"
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> man was written to be understandable
[11:10] <stueng> SolarisBoy: its about 3 lines long, the man
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> get a tea and read
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> thre are more tools in the chain that that
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> i showed one
[11:10] <SolarisBoy> nmcli is another
[11:11] <shawny78> Thanks jrib!!
[11:11] <SolarisBoy> stueng: man/research - i just mentioned im not as fmailiar nm - not used to using it - i set up my interfaces manually - i hate managers
[11:11] <SolarisBoy> so if your looking for help on the commands to use - i'd refer you to man - or one of the folks in this room, they probably use nm more than me..
[11:12] <stueng> SolarisBoy: I am fine using nm to join/leave networks etc, to control the connections, what I cant find is where it stores its config .... but ill have a google around to see if I can find it
[11:13] <SolarisBoy> well its under /etc/NetworkManager - but its not as flat as interfaces - ill say that much
[11:13] <stueng> ah thats why I couldnt locate it, capital letters
[11:13] <stueng> who does that
[11:13] <SolarisBoy> the people who made network manager...
[11:14] <SolarisBoy> =)
[11:14] <stueng> thanks gtg
[11:14] <manish411> I want to make kdm as the login manager, how do i configure it to run genome-session after login
[11:14] <manish411> ?
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> at least they dident use _ and . in the name
[11:14] <SolarisBoy> and hes outta there
[11:14] <SolarisBoy> Dr_Willis: true indeed
[11:15] <mishn0ne> привет
[11:15] <mishn0ne> есть русские?
[11:15] <FloodBot1> mishn0ne: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:15] <MonkeyDust> !ru
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> manish411:  each user had a .dmrc file that defines their defaut window manager
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> what is genome-session anyway
[11:17] <17SAA7XDD> I haven't got any headers installed for my 0-23-lowlatency version, which headers should I install from terminal when I am running a 64-bit version?? Several to pick from...
[11:18] <dontknow> why does official repo still have chromium 18, not 19?
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> !headers
[11:18] <SolarisBoy> i had a client who couldn't find the 'pseudo' command - we kicked around the idea of making a global alias for pseudo='sudo' but it was to much
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> dontknow:  because its not ready yet..
[11:19] <dontknow> Dr_Willis, how? 19 is released days ago
[11:19] <SolarisBoy> doesn't mean it goes in the repo
[11:19] <manish411> in archlinux we start gnome-session through a script called xinitrc which is read by the login manager
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> dontknow:  so
[11:19] <SolarisBoy> gnome-session gets kicked off automatically on ubuntu they don't use that .Xinitrc file that for those not using a display manager
[11:19] <dontknow> Dr_Willis, even second update came for 19 yesterday
[11:19] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: I didn't get that second bit about "install headers for libraries"...
[11:19] <WhereIsMySpoon> Er, i just cd'd to my /mnt folder and did an ls, and my shell locked up for a while, then said i cannot access the folders in /mnt, permission denied. I retried as root (sudo -i) and it still is giving me this error :S :S
[11:20] <WhereIsMySpoon> wtf is going on
[11:20] <SolarisBoy> like on arch - the default install no dm - so you can either start from Xinitrc or do a DM - if you do DM - it will likely start your sessions and such
[11:20] <SolarisBoy> its an "authenticated" session much like how you start ssh-agent etc - in fact i think closely related
[11:20] <|DM|> awutnow?
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> manish411:  you can create custome x sessions by either making a .desktop file for the session or using the .xsession file and select custom/user in kdm
[11:21] <WhereIsMySpoon> am using 11.10
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> WhereIsMySpoon:  whatsa mounted to /mnt?
[11:22] <manish411> Dr_Willis  : what I want at present is to start gnome desktop after i login using kdm
[11:22] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: had you recently changed/mounted/unmounted anything?
[11:22] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, no
[11:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> Dr_Willis, should be a couple of samba servers
[11:23] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: how do I get the accompanying dev packages?
[11:23] <Dr_Willis> manish411:  kdm should remember the last selected desktop session. which gets saved to the users .dmrc file
[11:23] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: can you post your /etc/fstab || and the output of 'mount' ?
[11:23] <manish411> ok , so where is this .dmrc file?
[11:23] <SolarisBoy> so - wait
[11:23] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, sure, min
[11:23] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: and how do I know if I need the accompanying libraries?:P
[11:23] <Dr_Willis> manish411:  in the users home. and kdm should have a menu to select gnome or unity or whatever
[11:24] <etfb> OK. So, Unity. I love it, honest I do.  Better than Gnome, KDE, etc.  But my wife is about to get her laptop upgraded to it, and there's one feature she's going to miss: a temperature indicator in the top menu bar.  Is there any provision at all for that sort of thing in Unity?
[11:24] <manish411> [Desktop]
[11:24] <manish411> Language=en_US.utf8
[11:24] <manish411> Layout=us
[11:24] <manish411>  this is my .dmrc file
[11:24] <FloodBot1> manish411: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:24] <SolarisBoy> wompwomp
[11:25] <manish411> ok got it
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> etfb:  there are cpu indicator applets in the repos, ppas and a list at askubuntu.com for most you would want
[11:25] <fidel_> etfb: you could solve that via conky - but thats a cli-based way of displaying text-informations somewhere on your desktop (in case you cant find a real solution)
[11:26] <SolarisBoy> i just installed one from ppa - works fine unity and all (i love my temp/weather indicator too)
[11:26] <etfb> Dr_Willis, fidel_: Thanks.  Good leads. I'll follow them up.
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> askubuntu.com has a nice list of quicklists, indicator-applets and other nice things
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> many are not in the repos yet. but in ppa's
[11:27] <MonkeyDust> hot-babe cpu indicator has been removed from the repos
[11:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, Dr_Willis: http://pastie.org/3960548
[11:27] <jasox> Did anyone successfully run unity 3d engine in virtual machine on linux ?
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> it was at mediabuntu MonkeyDust  last week.. been there for years
[11:28] <manish411> what is a 3d engine?
[11:28] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: Error! Problems with depmod detected.  Automatically uninstalling this module.
[11:28] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: could you please help out..?:)
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> 17SAA7XDD:  means nothing to me
[11:28] <d-tech> make: permission denied ... running as root ... any ideas?
[11:28] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: DKMS: Install Failed (depmod problems).  Module rolled back to built state.
[11:28] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: so how did thoe mounts get there?
[11:28] <SolarisBoy> being they aren't in fstab and all..
[11:29] <jasox> manigma77__:  unity3d.com
[11:29] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: if possible try to unmount those samba shares and do ls in that /mnt/ directory again? also check your message logs
[11:30] <SolarisBoy> samba can be funky sometimes
[11:30] <abhijitrucks> can i get ubuntu 11.10 unity in 12.04?
[11:31] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: that was some of the output of that headers command you gaveme...
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> abhijitrucks:  id guess no
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> abhijitrucks  what do you mean? a unity downgrade?
[11:31] <abhijitrucks> ya
[11:31] <abhijitrucks> i hate this new unity
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> 17SAA7XDD:  i gave you a bot factoid.
[11:32] <17SAA7XDD> Dr_Willis: riight?
[11:32] <MonkeyDust> abhijitrucks  use ccsm and myunity to configure unity, both tools are in the repos
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> i love the new unity. ;)  hud rocks.
[11:33] <strk> what's that application that pops up when you end out of space ?
[11:33] <strk> from GNOME, that is
[11:33] <strk> and, hard disk space (ignore/explore)
[11:33] <SolarisBoy> disk usage analyzer?
[11:33] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, things have changed! :)  I now do not get an error about the group not being a domain group.. in fact, there's no errors about the group at all... but it does still resolve to an incorrect group SID.
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> out of disk space?
[11:33] <strk> SolarisBoy: yep, what's the application name to start form console ?
[11:33] <SolarisBoy> du?
[11:34] <SolarisBoy> =)
[11:34] <strk> eh
[11:34] <SolarisBoy> i dont know the name of that horrible gui thing
[11:34] <SolarisBoy> i use du/df and find..
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[11:34] <SolarisBoy> but if you type the WINDOW key and open the search widget then type disk im sure its indexed properly
[11:34] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, message logs?
[11:35] <strk> found: baobab
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> yes
[11:35] <strk> thanks :)
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> baobab?
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> what in the world...
[11:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, unmounting the samba shares using umount, it says the share is not mounted according to mtab
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog and others - mainly those
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> right on
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> use -l
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> a kind of tree
[11:35] <SolarisBoy> seems like you may have a samba _server_ issue
[11:35] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, -l did nothing
[11:36] <SolarisBoy> being where we are i have to ask
[11:36] <SolarisBoy> what did you expect it to do?
[11:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> i dont know, i dont know the doc for umount by heart
[11:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> you told me to use -l
[11:36] <SolarisBoy> umount -l /mount/pint
[11:36] <SolarisBoy> then type mount and tell me its there or no?
[11:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, you mean //mount/folder  right?
[11:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> or you mean /mnt/folder
[11:37] <SolarisBoy> ...
[11:37] <SolarisBoy> yes.
[11:37] <WhereIsMySpoon> umount -l /mnt/folder gives: umount: it seems /mnt/folder is mounted multiple times
[11:37] <SolarisBoy> exactly
[11:38] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, "exactly"?
[11:38] <SolarisBoy> so - again - what did you do to mount those sambas?
[11:38] <SolarisBoy> i see they aren't in fstab
[11:38] <SolarisBoy> but they were mounted - and now they seem to be stale
[11:38] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, sudo smbmount
[11:39] <pete_> peterlin
[11:39] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy,  sudo smbmount //server/folder /mnt/folderlocation -o user=servergroup\\username,noperm
[11:39] <SolarisBoy> yea actually i see it now - if you look at your mount
[11:39] <SolarisBoy> its clearly wrong
[11:39] <SolarisBoy> your mounting the same things over and over
[11:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, hm, true
[11:40] <dr_willis> thats messy.  ;)
[11:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, if they're just mounted via smbmount, i should just restart right?
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> you can try to umount the //server/device
[11:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> then they'll go away
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> well yea that would fix it
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> but its linux
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> we dont do that...
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> but feel free to do M$ moves
[11:40] <SolarisBoy> brb
[11:40] <FloodBot1> SolarisBoy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:41] <SolarisBoy> oops sorry forgot about your ratelimiting
[11:41] <dr_willis> samba mounts can get real confused.
[11:41] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, "umount: //server/folder is not mounted (according to mtab)"
[11:41] <WaqarAzeem> hello! firewall is disable, ssh is installed but still unbale to access the machine using Putty ... Network error: software caused network abort ... from where should i start to investigate
[11:41] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: you should use the real name
[11:41] <SolarisBoy> brb
[11:41] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, i am using the real name when i actually do the command
[11:42] <ramkamx> i'm trying to use airodump-ng for wifi coverage testing. it works for a minute or two, then, all connexions drop. could it be a service that interferes with the process ? any1 has experience on that ?
[11:42] <dr_willis> WaqarAzeem:  on server try ssh localhost,  to see  ssh is working.
[11:43] <debanjan> #RFID
[11:43] <jstoone> I am using the Xmonad window-manager and I need to run a cmd to adjust my screens on every login, is there any way to automate this, so that this cmd runs at each startup?
[11:43] <SolarisBoy> weird then
[11:43] <jrib> jstoone: how do you start xmonad?
[11:43] <WaqarAzeem> dr_willis: read from socket fail. connection reset by peer
[11:43] <dr_willis> jstoone:  checked the xmonad docs and homepage/faq?
[11:44] <jstoone> it's set at the default and lanuches after I type my password.
[11:44] <SolarisBoy> WhereIsMySpoon: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/umount.cifs.8.html
[11:44] <dr_willis> WaqarAzeem:  sounds like ssh server is not running or mssconfigured
[11:44] <jstoone> jrib: that was for you sorry.
[11:44] <SolarisBoy> --no-mtab
[11:44] <SolarisBoy> seems like a relevant option huh?
[11:44] <jstoone> dr_willis: I will do now, thanks
[11:44] <DeltaHeavy> Hey, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 using GNOME "Classic" or whatever it is. Every time I open a directory with Nautalis, even after the folder is open the "Opening <directory name>" hangs for a while. On top of that it's taking unusually long to open a directory (5-10 seconds). Anybody know what might be causing this?
[11:45] <jrib> jstoone: so you just use the session file provided by the xmonad package?  What command are you wanting to run? Do you really want it to run every time you log in or just once after boot?
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> DeltaHeavy  same here, same in 12.04, too
[11:46] <peacedefender__> I am not sure if my model associations are correct because when I try to include two tables, I get "Association named 'team' was not found; perhaps you misspelled it?"
[11:46] <WhereIsMySpoon> DeltaHeavy, gnome3 is awfully slow
[11:46] <WhereIsMySpoon> DeltaHeavy, its the same fo rme
[11:46] <peacedefender__> https://gist.github.com/2780836 << my model
[11:46] <DeltaHeavy> MonkeyDust: Is Ubuntu just going to crap? Not trying to start something up in here but I've been using Ubuntu since 8.04, and I switched over to CentOS/Arch around 10.10, now I'm using it again at my workplace and I hate it. Been using it for months and I still think it's garbage.
[11:47] <fidel_> WhereIsMySpoon: DeltaHeavy MonkeyDust - are you guys using plain gnome3 or loaded with tons of extensions? just wondering as i am realizing some slowness here too
[11:47] <DeltaHeavy> Unity is also fairly unusable at least in 11.04 for the amount of applications I'm using at one time.
[11:47] <jstoone> jrib: it's  Xrandr for my dual-screens and it get's reset at every logout.
[11:47] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, eh, the servers are actually down
[11:47] <DeltaHeavy> fidel_: Plain GNOME "Classic". No addons or anything.
[11:47] <WhereIsMySpoon> fidel_, i havent customised gnome3 manually
[11:47] <peacedefender__> erm, wrong channel sorry
[11:47] <Progster> LOL, compared to CentOS? Wow you got a real uphill battle there bro
[11:47] <WhereIsMySpoon> if it did stuff itself then...*shrug*
[11:47] <jrib> jstoone: I start xmonad using a ~/.xsession file.  If you did that, you could just put your command before xmonad in that file
[11:48] <jstoone> jrib: the exact cmd is `xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1366x768 --left-of HDMI1 && xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080`
[11:48] <Progster> CentOS gave me more grief than any other distro (including ubuntu) when it came to sys admin/setup
[11:48] <dr_willis> uity and gnome-shell both work well on my netbook.  perhaps its a video bottleneck
[11:48] <OerHeks> Unity is awesome, gnome2 is so retarded
[11:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> er
[11:48] <DeltaHeavy> Progster: I use CentOS for server purposes on my headless box and it's never given me a single problem.
[11:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> what
[11:48] <WhereIsMySpoon> gnome2 >>> gnome3 >>> unity
[11:48] <jstoone> jrib: Cool, I'll look into that file right now.
[11:49] <dr_willis> gnome 2 is dead..  time to move on.
[11:49] <WhereIsMySpoon> not when gnome3 is a pile of awful :P
[11:49] <DeltaHeavy> Progster: Any issues you may have run into is probably just the difference between a Debian based system and a RHEL-like system.
[11:49] <morsnowski> gnome classic is doing it just fine for me
[11:49] <DeltaHeavy> Cause CentOS is godly lol
[11:49] <jstoone> jrib: That file does not exist in my home dir. i only got ~/.xsession-errors
[11:49] <dr_willis> gnome classic may be removed in the next few releases also
[11:49] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: How long does it take you to open a directory and does the "Opening <dir name>" hang for a while after it's open?
[11:49] <jrib> jstoone: you'd have to create it
[11:50] <sirriffsalot> I fixed my resolution problem by removing the monitors.xml file in ~./config... but why did that solve it?:P
[11:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> SolarisBoy, when i try to umount one of the shares, it says it isnt mounted (not with mtab error this time) but when i execute mount command i still see it :S
[11:50] <jstoone> jrib: right.
[11:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> is this just cause the servers are down
[11:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> so i cant umount them?
[11:50] <jrib> jstoone: and then you would choose that as your session instead of "xmonad"
[11:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> or what
[11:50] <morsnowski> DeltaHeavy, almsot instantly and no hanging
[11:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> DeltaHeavy, id advise to switch to xfce
[11:50] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: What CPU is using that?
[11:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> its pretty fast
[11:51] <morsnowski> some older intel dual core
[11:51] <DeltaHeavy> WhereIsMySpoon: Yeah, GNOME3's back end is sexy as hell but I find it nearly unusable and I think I gave it a good chance. Used it for 4 months.
[11:51] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: Do you know the clock rate on it? The type of Duel Core? Celeron, Pentium D?
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> DeltaHeavy  this is the support channel, opinions in #ubuntu-offtopic, please
[11:52] <jrib> jstoone: it's just a shell script with the last line as "xmonad"
[11:52] <DeltaHeavy> MonkeyDust: This is support. I have a problem and I want to know if it's hardware related because he's not experiancing the same issue.
[11:52] <jstoone> jrib: cool. How do i specify that as my session?
[11:52] <morsnowski> DeltaHeavy, 2x intel pentium 2.8ghz
[11:52] <jstoone> jrib: aka, make it choosable at the login-screen
[11:52] <jrib> jstoone: should show up in the dropdown menu at the login prompt. Might need a lightdm restart? (idk)
[11:53] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, all is fixed!
[11:53] <jstoone> jrib: cool, see you in a sec with updates on how it worked (:
[11:53] <carpi> I have a dual monitor setup. Is there a way to save the configuration? Because every time I restart my machine I have to reconfigure the dual monitor setup.. :(
[11:53] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: I'm using a Celeron 1 core @ 3.?GHz. I wonder if that's my problem.
[11:53] <Hyperbyte> The idmap lines did the trick, but -still- Samba was assigning the group a SID of the local server, rather than the domain.  I couldn't explain it.  When I gave the local server the same name as the domain (so the SIDs were identical to start with), things started working.
[11:54] <Hyperbyte> SolarisBoy, so it isn't super-pretty, and I still don't know exactly -why- Samba was futzing with the domain group SID's... but at this point I'm so happy it works, I cannot stand still to care about the why. :)
[11:54] <morsnowski> DeltaHeavy,  i have no idea. i'm just happy it does bog me down but i will admit that i have the feeling that 10.04 was quicker. that is just subjective though
[11:54] <morsnowski> doesn't actually
[11:55] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: I'm really hating the direction Ubuntu is going in. Getting bulkier and bulkier. Whole reason I put a distro on this thing was because this computer isn't very powerful.
[11:55] <carpi> can anyone help?
[11:55] <DeltaHeavy> Guess I should just use a different distro or Xubuntu
[11:56] <dr_willis> lubuntu targets the low end market
[11:56] <morsnowski> DeltaHeavy, i'm the wrong address i don't work here
[11:56] <ramkamx> anybody had issues with airodump-ng dropping after a few minutes ?
[11:56] <gentoo_user> hi.did someone have script for gmail which working with karamba and would like share?
[11:56] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: I know, sorry I guess I'm just venting a bit. It's pretty rediclous that Ubuntu won't run properly on a 3GHz single core anymore.
[11:57] <DeltaHeavy> I don't know HOW you can even make a Linux distro that bulkyy
[11:57] <sipior> DeltaHeavy: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, sunshine.
[11:57] <morsnowski> DeltaHeavy, i could bet you that is a configuration issue
[11:57] <Moscherkobold> Hello everyone, is this the right place to ask something about ubuntu one?
[11:57] <bazhang> Moscherkobold, #ubuntuone
[11:57] <DeltaHeavy> morsnowski: Any ideas on what?
[11:57] <morsnowski> nope not from afar
[11:58] <Moscherkobold> bazhang: thx
[11:58] <DeltaHeavy> Anybody know how to fix long Nautalis launches and a hanging "Opening <dir name>"?
[11:58] <jrib> http://s12a.vidhogservers.com:182/d/esd63vrmnjhr3p57s6qngpbf2j7vt6gqudlddpii74oafjauvsjdjh5y/Get.The.Gringo.2012.HDRip.XviD.AC3-BHRG.avi
[11:58] <jrib> agh
[11:58] <jrib> sorry.
[11:58] <WhereIsMySpoon> lol
[11:58] <dr_willis> ;)
[11:58] <sipior> DeltaHeavy: try running it under strace/ltrace, see where it sticks.
[11:59] <sipior> jrib: naughty boy.
[11:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> this is interesting
[12:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> when i launch nautilus from Places -> home folder, it takes a few seconds
[12:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> when i launch from cmd line, its instant
[12:00] <dr_willis> WhereIsMySpoon:  try it from a newly made user
[12:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> dr_willis, meh, i dont have the time to mess around with that :p
[12:00] <jstoone> jrib:I even tried to reboot (didn't seem right), and still it didn't popup. Although I just made an alias in my ~/.zshrc which runs the cmd.
[12:01] <DeltaHeavy> sipior: When using those tools it doesn't hang at all for some reason. Still takes ~7 seconds to open up but it doesn't hang.
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> WhereIsMySpoon  idd, same here, so it's a gui issue
[12:01] <jrib> jstoone: what options do you have in the session dropdown menu at login screen?
[12:02] <sipior> DeltaHeavy: does it hang when opening every directory?
[12:02] <jstoone> Xmonad+Gnome, Ubuntu, Ubuntu2D, Xmonad - And they all were there before.
[12:02] <DeltaHeavy> sipior: Yes, also sometimes Nautilis opens up instancly, still with that hanging "Opening" though.
[12:02] <DeltaHeavy> instantly*
[12:03] <jstoone> jrib: Jesus, forgot to tag you again..
[12:03] <jstoone> jrib: Xmonad+Gnome, Ubuntu, Ubuntu2D, Xmonad - And they all were there before.
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> DeltaHeavy  not if you open nautilus from the terminal, so it's gui or menu issue
[12:03] <jrib> jstoone: hmm.  I have /usr/share/xsessions/user-xsession.desktop, do you have that?
[12:03] <sipior> DeltaHeavy: this is a new install, no scripts running?
[12:04] <jrib> jstoone: I also have /usr/share/xsessions/xsession.desktop, do you have that?
[12:04] <sipior> DeltaHeavy: unmodified install, i should say. does it hang before the window itself is drawn?
[12:04] <jstoone> jrib: Nope
[12:04] <jrib> jstoone: neither?
[12:04] <DeltaHeavy> sipior: Few months old. Been doing this from the start though while it was unmodified. Tried fixing it first thing when it installed to no avail but I figured I'd try again today.
[12:05] <saul> Could someone give me a hand for a moment? My external drives stopped automounting.
[12:05] <jstoone> jrib: I made ~/.xsessions (since it didn't exist), but i have no /usr/share/xsessions/xsession.desktio
[12:05] <jrib> jstoone: well you can make /usr/share/xsessions/user-xsession.desktop with the contents http://paste.ubuntu.com/1004596/ .  The other file (/usr/share/xsessions/xsession.desktop) that I have is provided by gdm
[12:05] <jstoone> jrib: s/desktio/desktop
[12:07] <DeltaHeavy> sipior: Also I have no cron jobs, nothing special going on.
[12:07] <sipior> DeltaHeavy: and it never hangs when running under strace? might be interesting to use strace's -f switch and see what the children are up to.
[12:07] <jstoone> jrib: Actually. I think I'll go with the alias solution, since It's a laptop and it's only at home I use dual-monitors
[12:08] <teknoprep> whoever came up with the install while configuring your options... genius
[12:08] <teknoprep> ty
[12:08] <jstoone> jrib: But thank you verry much! Saved the paste just for good meshurements
[12:10] <CaptainSifff> Hi there, I'd like to have the droid sans font for latex in Maverick. It does not seem to be contained in texlive-fontsextra. What is the preferred way to get this font for my computer?
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> CaptainSifff  maverick is no longer valid or supported
[12:12] <sipior> CaptainSifff: you can just install ttf-droid, i believe. modern tex installs can use truetype fonts out of the box.
[12:13] <CaptainSifff> I'm using pdflatex not xelatex...
[12:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> DeltaHeavy, does gnome-panel also use a lot of mem?
[12:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> For me, it uses over 50%
[12:13] <sipior> CaptainSifff: move to xelatex. seriously.
[12:13] <|DM|> what is that in non-relative terms
[12:14] <DeltaHeavy> WhereIsMySpoon: 2.1MB
[12:15] <Oficla> hi
[12:16] <WhereIsMySpoon> DeltaHeavy, heh
[12:16] <WhereIsMySpoon> DeltaHeavy, sometimes it gets up to over 1gig
[12:16] <nyctechwizards> hey everyone good morning
[12:16] <morsnowski> at 2pm?
[12:16] <WhereIsMySpoon> maybe he doesnt live in europe?
[12:16] <WhereIsMySpoon> or she
[12:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> :S

[12:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> aw damn

[12:22] <Xano> I need to delete all files and folders of which the names start with a period that are located (anywhere in the tree) in a given folder. rm -R is only recursive in that it deletes all contents if the match is a folder, but it does not search the hierarchy itself. How do I do this?
[12:22] <morsnowski> Xano, you can use find
[12:22] <DeltaHeavy> Xano: Wouldn't 'rm -rf \.*" work?
[12:23] <jstoone> Hi, I've mounted my ntfs partition with a mountpoint at /jstoone. Why does some of the foldernames have neon-green markings?
[12:23] <jrib> DeltaHeavy: wouldn't delete a/.b for example
[12:23] <NoVoteLoss> what handles my login screen? if i have other desktops(KDE, GNOME shell, Ubuntu, and more) how do i get rid of the ones i dont want?
[12:23] <Xano> DeltaHeavy: Nope. It appears it only matches files and folders found in the current directory, while I need it to match nested files too
[12:23] <jrib> NoVoteLoss: uninstall the corresponding packages?
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> DeltaHeavy: why use force-
[12:24] <Xano> morsnowski: How exactly? This needs to be automated, because we're talking about hundreds of matches
[12:24] <DeltaHeavy> ActionParsnip: I'm used to RHEL like systems which ask you "Do you want to delete this file"
[12:24] <morsnowski> xano you could try "find . -name "FILE-TO-FIND"-exec rm -rf {} \;"
[12:24] <DeltaHeavy> I guess you don't need it but it doesn't hurt
[12:24] <morsnowski> Xano, but try it first
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> DeltaHeavy: thats not what force is for
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> Xano: find . | egrep '\
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> Oop
[12:26] <DeltaHeavy> Actionparsnip: It's not for removing that prompt? What's it for then? I know it also removes verbose for files that aren't there.
[12:26] <judgen> howdy.. if xinerama appears very laggy, what would be the next step to proceede? (i am using fglrx and set up the settings using amdcccle)
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> Xano: find . -type f| egrep '\.*' -exec rm {} \:
[12:27] <jrib> Xano: don't do that
[12:27] <jrib> ActionParsnip: that will delete way too much stuff
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Xano: might wanna make some dummy data to test
[12:28] <judgen> i guess i could just go for separate xservers instead.
[12:28] <sipior> Xano: or just replace "rm" with "ls".
[12:28] <judgen> as the lag is not there then
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> Jrib: all files from pwd down starting with period, wassup with it?
[12:29] <jrib> ActionParsnip: try: echo a.b | egrep '\.*'
[12:29] <jrib> ActionParsnip: actually, it will delete everything since the output from find will begin with "./"
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> Oops forgot ^
[12:30] <bolmna> irc.kametsu.com
[12:30] <jrib> ActionParsnip: also, your syntax looks wrong so maybe it delete anything :P
[12:31] <Oficla> lol@ActionParsnip
[12:31] <jrib> won't*
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> Gotta jet. #bash may be useful
[12:33] <Xano> find . -name ".*" -exec echo "{}" \; gives me a nice list of all matching files
[12:33] <Xano> THanks!
[12:34] <navatwo> Anyone know what gconf key I need to adjust to change to radiance theme?

[12:49] <iceroot> unity is not showing my diablo3 download which is running with wine when pressing alt+tab. if i am correct there were other apps missing too. is that a known bug? a feature? or is there another way to see all running programs? in the left sidebar wine is not listed as running but it is still running
[12:50] <zamba> morsnowski: check the settings for compiz
[12:50] <zamba> morsnowski: place windows, i believe

[13:29] <sirriffsalot> chu: does it open guitar pro?:O
[13:29] <chu> Not *really* the same thing, but no one here is going to recommend *any* pirated software (don't even ask about it), but it's the closest you'll get with linux, sirriffsalot
[13:29] <OerHeks> sirriffsalot, pirated ? wrong channel
[13:29] <chu> Don't know, I don't use either.

[13:30] <sirriffsalot> Wikipedia* rofl
 does anyone know how to add tomboy and youtube lens to ubuntu 12.04
[13:30] <prateekp> L3tops : /didnt understand
[13:30] <chu> It's *incredibly* midi based though, so you're gonna cop it.
[13:30] <OerHeks> Harris, again: install it, log out & log in, done
[13:30] <prateekp> L3tops : didnt understand
[13:31] <L3tops> prateekp: apt-cache search scilab
[13:31] <L3tops> full battery of stuff there.
[13:31] <Harris> how do i install the tomboy lens for 12.04 i only find it for 11.0 OerHeks
[13:32] <OerHeks> Harris, google gives me the answer. did it not for you ? >> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/search-through-your-tomboy-notes-with-unity-tomboy-lens/
[13:32] <sirriffsalot> So, where is the right place in IRC to discuss pirate copies?:D
[13:32] <LucidGuy> I seem to have installed an Ubuntu server using only lvms?  No partitions or partition table for that matter..  didnt think that was possible.
[13:33] <L3tops> Not here
[13:33] <OerHeks> sirriffsalot, we don't care to help you with that. so stop it please
[13:33] <Harris> OerHeks,  no it did not but i will read this
[13:33] <ikonia> LucidGuy: it's fine
[13:33] <sirriffsalot> OerHeks: you're really against it I guess?:)
[13:33] <sirriffsalot> OerHeks: just for the record I don't do that much
[13:33] <Fat-Thing> what is multi load apple!? i saw it on my process?
[13:33] <DJones> sirriffsalot: Piracy isn't considered appropriate in any channels on freenode
[13:34] <sirriffsalot> I see:)
[13:34] <sirriffsalot> Pardon me then!
[13:34] <prateekp> L3tops: i have got scilab working but what i need is to build an external module ... for this i ran the make command and got the error
[13:35] <L3tops> I understand prateekp. Either you do not have all of the source, or some prerequisite installed.
[13:36] <prateekp> L3tops : where can i find this machine.h
[13:36] <prateekp> L3tops : is machine.h part of OS or that of scilab
[13:36] <L3tops> You should talk to whoever maintains the source code prateekp.
[13:38] <Harris> OerHeks, it said tomboy lens could not be found
[13:40] <Harris> who is running ubuntu 12.04
[13:40] <compdoc> me! me!
[13:40] <alarmschaben> Hi! When mirroring the official package repositories for the local datacenter, do I have to include i386 even though all machines use the amd64 arch? apt-get update complains about missing i386 packages
[13:41] <SolarisBoy> possibly do you have something installed that depends on it but not in your repo?
[13:41] <ikonia> alarmschaben: the x86_64 repo will also have some 32bit dependencies in it
[13:41] <SolarisBoy> its absolutely legit to run 32 bit libs on a 64 bit
[13:41] <alarmschaben> ikonia , SolarisBoy : Ah, I see. That should be the answer to my question. Tnx!
[13:42] <SolarisBoy> =) anytime kind sir

[13:44] <Harris> where do i type that
[13:47] <OerHeks> harris, official it is rude to say google, but i find it rude not to use google
[13:48] <Harris> what is the terminal code to get minitube
[13:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> Harris - why dont you experiemtn a bit, and if yuo dont find it, use google
[13:50] <OerHeks> Harris open softwarecentre: minitube
[13:50] <jongleur> Hi. Is the terminal application of ubuntu 12.04 known as buggy in terms of foreground/background on the desktop? Is there anything how to solve it? Terminal windows in my ubuntu 12.04 installation have several issues: the menu opens behind the window, klicks sometimes "go through" and are applied to the window behind it, and I'm not sure, if there's more - sometimes that's ugly to distinguish. Any ideas?
[13:50] <Harris> WhereIsMySpoon,  i dont know what codes mean
[13:51] <WhereIsMySpoon> pretty sure this guy is a troll
[13:51] <WhereIsMySpoon> going into ignore mode

[13:52] <Harris> L3tops, i posted that and it didnt help
[13:52] <L3tops> how did it not help Harris? What problem did you have with it?
[13:53] <Harris> it said could not locate package L3tops
[13:53] <L3tops> did you add the repos and update?
[13:53] <Harris> yes
[13:54] <OerHeks> L3tops, that ppa gives the Oneiric lens only
[13:55] <L3tops> I see that... but the youtube lens is there...
[13:57] <L3tops> Harris: btw if you added the oneiric sources listed there, and failed to install the lens properly, you need to remove the oneiric sources and update again... having the old repo in there will cause problems

[14:06] <L3tops> Fat-Thing: think it might be multiload applet? and it was beyond your ability to view the t?
[14:06] <digitalknight> when during the installattion
[14:06] <MonkeyDust> !enter| digitalknight
[14:06] <digitalknight> my laptop overheated and crashed
[14:07] <Fat-Thing> L3tops, i think so what does it mean then?
[14:07] <digitalknight> Oh,sorry..
[14:08] <L3tops> are you running gnome3 Fat-Thing?
[14:08] <digitalknight> My laptop crashed while I wasupgrading my Ubuntu from 11.4 to 11.10.When I am booting now,I can see 11.10 but many packages are missing(for instance I am not able to connect to my wireless network.)Please help

[14:10] <digitalknight> @Monkeydust @ubottu Thanks,but as my laptop crashed while installation,wont many packages be missing?
[14:10] <martman> is there a guide/wiki somewhere on getting xen running on 12.04? i cant seem to find anything
[14:10] <L3tops> I don't know specifically what it is, there are a lot of references to it... it is some sort of Gnomish thing it appears Fat-Thing.
[14:11] <OerHeks> ptrkmj, split lossless > http://code.google.com/p/split-lossless/
[14:11] <Fat-Thing> i see thank you sir
[14:12] <OerHeks> ptrkmj, or on the CLI : cuetools & shntool >> http://danilodellaquila.com/blog/how-to-split-an-audio-.flac-file-using-ubuntu-linux
[14:12] <L3tops> Fat-Thing: is it eating a lot of process?  also try ps aux | grep multiload            to see if it is indeed applet
[14:13] <naxil> hello
[14:13] <naxil> i have install ushare (now i have uninstall ushare) but now my shared connection is disable..
[14:14] <naxil> what i can do?
[14:14] <Fat-Thing> it is sir not really but i slows down my desktop tho.....i mean my desktop sucks now i just adjusted it to lower resolution but still :(
[14:16] <digitalknight> Please help....I am in urgent need.....Is there any way I can recover or...If I download 12.04 and try to install it,will it retain my current files and softwares?
[14:16] <L3tops> Fat-Thing: Well... do that grep, see what it is... locate it... then kill the process, see if you run better... if you do dpkg -S it, see if you can remove the package or at least suppress its startup and keep a stable desktop.
[14:17] <ptrkmj> OerHeks: split-lossless is GUI app? i think i prefer CLI
[14:17] <Fat-Thing> ok sir thank you :)
[14:17] <OerHeks> ptrkmj, have fun
[14:18] <marco> digitalknight: you better boot with live-cd and backup your important data
[14:19] <JasonGriffee> Installing Ubuntu 12.04 via usb stick gives error "Stopping CPU interrupts balacing daemon". This ocurrs right when the graphic info panels that welcome you to ubuntu and talk about software begin.
[14:19] <ThePendulum> How do I boot Ubuntu when it´s installed, yet Windows boots no matter what I do?
[14:19] <elspuddy> hi, iv just made an image of a hard drive useing the command dd, how do i mount this drive ?
[14:19] <MonkeyDust> ThePendulum  repair the grub
[14:20] <ThePendulum> MonkeyDust: How? And why should it be repaired at all?
[14:20] <MonkeyDust> !grub| ThePendulum
[14:20] <ThePendulum> I know what Grub is...
[14:21] <MonkeyDust> ThePendulum  why? because it is broken
[14:21] <ThePendulum> MonkeyDust: I installed Ubuntu as the latter
[14:21] <kurtwp_> I noticed when a download a PDF using filezilla that it uses GIMP to read the PDF.  Is there is settign in unity to change this habit or would it be filezilla
[14:21] <MonkeyDust> ThePendulum  still, the link(s) may be useful
[14:21] <ThePendulum> How am I supposed to use the terminal or any GUI if I can´t boot into Ubuntu?
[14:22] <MonkeyDust> ThePendulum  it's explained in that link
[14:22] <L3tops> JasonGriffee: what is the gpu?
[14:22] <JasonGriffee> Radeon 9550 (Deadicated)
[14:22] <helo> every time there's a new kernel, installing the new package fails with this: "Failed to symbolic-link /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic to initrd.img: File exists"
[14:22] <helo> if i remove /initrd.img and run it again, it appears to succeed
[14:23] <L3tops> JasonGriffee: can you get to a terminal on this machine?
[14:23] <ThePendulum> MonkeyDust: I´m afraid I don´t see an explaination for it, it´s all using Ubuntu which is not accessible
[14:23] <digitalknight> \marko I did that
[14:23] <MonkeyDust> ThePendulum  boot from a live cd or thumbdrive, work from there
[14:24] <thomad16> Hello ^_^
[14:24] <helo> oh here it is... no resolution though https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1002388
[14:24] <digitalknight> I am able to login to my ubuntu 11.10,but some packages must be missing
[14:24] <digitalknight> How do I recover?
[14:24] <ThePendulum> MonkeyDust: Again, Windows won´t let me for whatever reason
[14:24] <helo> i suspect leaving a bad /initrd.img should be "High" severity...
[14:25] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, I guess I could via a live session, but I installed ubuntu before without issue. Could there have been a mishap in the creation of the startup cd creation?
[14:25] <thomad16> I'm just curious if it's possable to create a 3rd output other than stdout and stdin that other applications can read from?
[14:25] <L3tops> I would lean more towards gpu/driver issue... did you install proprietary drivers by chance?
[14:25] <L3tops> JasonGriffee:  T^
[14:25] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, also there is no viable OS on the system now
[14:25] <MonkeyDust> thomad16  you can use tee to redirect to a file, if that's what you mean
[14:26] <digitalknight> MonkeyDust Please help
[14:26] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, what is T^
[14:26] <thomad16> no i mean like mkfifo /dev/fd/4
[14:26] <thomad16> or something like that
[14:26] <Aethrs> Shouldn't boot repair disk display a menu or something?
[14:26] <L3tops> JasonGriffee: a typo... I was trying to get you to look above with ^ because I had forgotten to address you, and I am flipping back and forth between several chats
[14:26] <jongleur> thomad16: you can create the fifo and pipe to that
[14:27] <Heartbeats> Ok i'm trying to edit the repositories list and in terminal it says bash:.. permission denied
[14:27] <jrib> Heartbeats: what did you type?
[14:28] <Heartbeats> etc/apt/sources.list
[14:28] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, there is no OS on the computer now so drivers are non-issue
[14:28] <jrib> Heartbeats: you want to open /etc/apt/sources.list in an *editor*
[14:28] <Heartbeats> /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:28] <Heartbeats> actually
[14:29] <Heartbeats> ooh k
[14:29] <ninux> exit
[14:29] <jrib> Heartbeats: is there a reason you aren't using Software Properties for managing repositories?
[14:29] <xangua> Heartbeats: or just go to Software Center - Edit - Sources and add deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free
[14:30] <Heartbeats> no
[14:30] <Heartbeats> no reason*
[14:30] <Heartbeats> and ok
[14:30] <iceroot> is there a way to make the top-panel in unity transparent? at the moment it is grey/black cant find a setting for that
[14:30] <L3tops> JasonGriffee: I misunderstood your original post... I thought this was with ubu installed. Can you boot with the nomodeset option?
[14:31] <digitalknight> MonkeyDust marko Please advise
[14:31] <CannedCorn> hey guys when i installed openjdk-7 it still says JAVA_HOME is not set
[14:31] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, what is that?
[14:31] <jongleur> anybody an idea what's up with my terminal?
[14:31] <L3tops> digitalknight: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:32] <L3tops> !nomodeset | JasonGriffee
[14:32] <digitalknight> L3tops sudo apt-get update will work without internet?
[14:32] <iceroot> or do we have a unity config tool in 12.04?
[14:32] <iceroot> digitalknight: no
[14:32] <xangua> !info
[14:32] <xangua> myunityiceroot: there is a setting for that in myunity
[14:32] <xangua> !info myunity
[14:32] <L3tops> digitalknight: no... I did not see that you were without internet. Can you plug this thing in?
[14:33] <iceroot> xangua: thank you
[14:33] <digitalknight> L3Tops...sure let me try
[14:34] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, I don't boot into a black screen, it happens later. I have also done this install with previous versions of ubuntu on the exact same hardware.
[14:34] <CannedCorn> does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve that sort of thing?
[14:35] <digitalknight> How do I address a specific person in IRC chat?
[14:36] <xangua> !tab | digitalknight
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> digitalknight  type 2-3 characters of a name and then tab to complete
[14:37] <digitalknight> MonkeyDust: Thanks
[14:37] <digitalknight> MonkeyDust: Another thing,How can I check which packages were left outduring the installation?I am able to get internet access now...
[14:37] <carrera> Greetings! :)
[14:38] <iceroot> xangua: thank you very much, that fixed my issue and was showing me some other nice things too
[14:38] <MonkeyDust> digitalknight  no idea
[14:38] <china_guang> Are here chinese?
[14:38] <MonkeyDust> !cn
[14:39] <carrera> How can I gain window focus by just moving the mouse pointer over the window. I'm running Gnome on 12.04.
[14:39] <L3tops> JasonGriffee: try the text version of the installer... I don't know what versions you have installed in the past, but clearly you are having an issue, probably gpu related, to the unity desktop. You may have to use the text based installer until such time as you can use a driver more appropirate than the framebuffer development driver packed in the installer.
[14:39] <digitalknight> MonkeyDust: Ok,thanks.Another thing,I may sound stupid,but I really want to contribute to ubuntu.I am a C and C++ developer and I ama newbie PostgreSQL hacker.
[14:39] <ARTSIOM> how do I get the list of the packages I have explicitely installed with "apt-get install"?
[14:40] <JasonGriffee> L3tops, will i be able to use the unity gui later?
[14:40] <china_guang> how I close my gnome in my ubuntu 12.04?
[14:41] <L3tops> JasonGriffee: assuming this is not a hardware error, I would certainly think so... but I have not heard complants of this specific nature and it is not an unusual gpu... so it is hard to say definitely so.
[14:42] <chigybuntu> Which one is a better choice btn BT5 and Blackbuntu?
[14:42] <xangua> chigybuntu: just ubuntu support, thanks
[14:42] <haux> I installed xubuntu 12.04 on a system with this board: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/kino_690s1  It is hooked up a television as a "media" pc. I can't get fglrx to work, and otherwise am having serious resolution issues. None of the resolutions I select fit the screen very well. They are either oversized, or too small. Any ideas?
[14:43] <haux> *hooked up to a
[14:43] <xangua> china_guang: and by close your gnome you mean¿ log out¿
[14:43] <jongleur> anybody with the terminal issue?
[14:44] <chigybuntu> jongleur: Yeah, i have dig
[14:44] <gilesw> heya all
[14:44] <gilesw> i'm having some trouble running apt-file on precise
[14:45] <gilesw> Downloading Index http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Contents-amd64.diff/Index:
[14:45] <china_guang> xangua：yes
[14:45] <gilesw> No Index available.
[14:45] <jongleur> chigybuntu: I found at least one other person with the same issue who posted the same issue (but got no reply as far as I can see)
[14:45] <HorizonXP> I have this tool on Windows called WinSplit Revolution, that allows me to easily manage and resize windows on my screen. Very useful with my dual monitor setup.
[14:46] <HorizonXP> I simply hit Ctrl + Alt and a number pad key, and the window gets moved and resized appropriately
[14:46] <HorizonXP> is there an equivalent tool on Ubuntu?
[14:46] <morsnowski> ARTSIOM, how about 'aptitude search '~i''
[14:46] <jrib> HorizonXP: what does "appropriately" mean?
[14:46] <HorizonXP> jrib: if I hit 5 on the number pad, it makes it take up the whole screen
[14:46] <morsnowski> everything autimatically installed has an A as marker
[14:47] <digitalknight> thank you all
[14:47] <HorizonXP> jrib: hitting 6 once, makes it take up half of the right side of the screen
[14:47] <haux> jrib, I assume he means that certain numbers resize the window to a certain size...
[14:47] <HorizonXP> jrib: hit it again, and it goes to 33%
[14:47] <HorizonXP> jrib: once more takes it to 66%
[14:47] <HorizonXP> jrib: do that with 4, and it's the left side
[14:47] <chigybuntu> jongleur: Is there a way to update facebook status on terminal?, coz for tweeter there is a way to do that......can yo help me with that plz?
[14:48] <jrib> HorizonXP: you can /probably/ script something like that using wmctrl.  Have you considered using a tiling window manager?
[14:48] <L3tops> !enter | HorizonXP
[14:48] <HorizonXP> jrib: do taht with 8 or 2 and it does the top or bottom
[14:48] <ARTSIOM> morsnowski: that command gave me a huge list, I for sure was not installing all those packages mannualy
[14:48] <jongleur> chigybuntu: no idea, I don't use facebook more than absolutely necessary, sorry
[14:48] <HorizonXP> jrib: haven't thought about switching WMs, but scripting something using wmctrl would be fine
[14:49] <angel279> Hello, I've installed apache2 + php5 on my apache, but when I trying to access .php file on the browser I get the download popup window (it seems that apache2 not working with the php5) any idea?
[14:50] <chigybuntu> jongleur: Thanks anyway....
[14:51] <HorizonXP> jrib: turns out there's a compiz plugin
[14:51] <gilesw> hrm looks like a dh-make-perl bug
[14:51] <HorizonXP> but with Ubuntu's Unity, I'm guessing Compiz is no longer used?
[14:52] <jrib> HorizonXP: no idea
[14:52] <Guest31475> is there a way to keep menu options in panel always visible
[14:53] <xangua> HorizonXP: unity uses compiz, yes
[14:53] <L3tops> HorizonXP: Unity uses compiz
[14:53] <ARTSIOM> morsnowski: ok, but it also includes packages which were installed together with the system install. So is there any way to get packages which were installed by me?
[14:53] <HorizonXP> xangua, L3tops does that mean I could add a Compiz plugin?
[14:54] <xangua> HorizonXP: if it doesn't break unity, like the cube, yes
[14:54] <L3tops> depends on the plugin I would say... but yes... the compiz manager
[14:55] <HorizonXP> ok, looks like the Grid plugin does what I want
[14:55] <morsnowski> ARTSIOM, that's the only way i know to get the packages that were installed automatically I'm afraid
[14:55] <HorizonXP> and it's in the compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package...
[14:55] <Sidney__> are there any apps that will wipe free space
[14:56] <freakolowsky> is gnome-shell using dconf or gconf?
[14:56] <tahimik> Sidney: you can try bleachbit
[14:57] <Guest31475> is there a way to keep menu options in panel always visible
[14:58] <level15> hi, all: i have 3 LVM volumes on 3 different servers. I formatted them as ext 4. They all mount fine. However, when the system is booting, it complains it cannot check them because of too high revision of the FS or damaged superblock (see http://pastebin.com/RVgrFk5U). If I do file -sL /dev/vg00/bacula_backups, it says it is indeed an ext4 FS, mounted or unclean. ANy ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.
[14:58] <L3tops> What menu options are you talking about Guest31475?
[14:59] <Guest31475> tops - like when i hover to top panel menu-view-tools-help
[15:00] <Guest31475> these options only show when cursor goes there , i want them always visible
[15:00] <vimane> i have intall mate DE from minimal cd, but no shutdown option. how can i make shutdown option appear?
[15:00] <L3tops> level15: you are running an ext2 check on an ext4 filesystem... use fsck.ext4 instead (probably just fsck would work)
[15:00] <L3tops> level15: clearly we do not want these mounted when checking.
[15:01] <level15> L3tops: fsck.ext4 gives the same results
[15:01] <level15> L3tops: yes, they are unmounted
[15:02] <level15> L3tops: see http://pastebin.com/KQqeLi7Z  it still calls e2fsck
[15:02] <L3tops> Oh... I see...
[15:02] <L3tops> thats wacky.
[15:03] <Sidney__> I have a partition onced used for mp3's now I oinly have 90 GB on the drive but it shows 252 used
[15:04] <vimane> has 12.04 no shutdown option in x-server?
[15:05] <Guest31475> any clue tops
[15:05] <tahimik> vimane: in a terminal you can type   sudo shutdown -h now
[15:06] <Church> is there way to install packages from oneiric repository on 12.04?
[15:06] <ikonia> Church: no
[15:06] <Church> :(
[15:07] <tahimik> Sidney:  sudo apt-get install testdisk  then  testdisk /dev/xxx   where xxx is your drive
[15:09] <Guest31475> tahimik can u suggest i have a simple thing to ask
[15:09] <Guest31475> is there a way to keep menu options in panel always visible
[15:10] <L3tops> not to my knowledge Guest31475... it seems as though hiding would be the preferred behavior...
[15:12] <tahimik> Sidney: Guest31475: sorry, I usually work at command line. Don't know much about panel gui
[15:13] <lpapp> Hey! How can I disable the screen lock after not using the toughbook for a while ?
[15:13] <lpapp> It is a touch based device, and screen lock with entering the password just breaks the workflow.
[15:14] <jobinar> Does anyone know a single command to compile a source code to install all dependencies, without having to individually install each dependency?
[15:15] <lpapp> http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/disable-screensaver-lock-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
[15:15] <lpapp> ohh this one
