[15:34] <kesi> ActionParsnip, calrogman: am I supposed to replace something in that command for my particular device id?
[15:34] <calrogman> no kesi
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> calrogman: i doubt the default has changed, but its better to be safe I guess
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> kesi: no, that is the command
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> kesi: it unloads the 2 modules, little pause then reloads them. It can wake up the devices
[15:35] <kesi> ActionParsnip, user@Pegasus:~$ sudo modprobe -r usbhid hid; sleep 2; sudo modprobe usbhid hid

[15:36] <calrogman> kesi: did you (see dmesg)?
[15:36] <KsM> you can't put multiple modules on the same line like that
[15:37] <kesi> calrogman, trying to figure out how right now. It's been awhile since I've used linux.
[15:38] <islandmonkey> Hi, I am having a sudden authenication error with updating. It's been alright until a few days ago. Here's the list of rejected
[15:38] <islandmonkey> repos: http://pastebin.com/xKTKebja
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> kesi: when the device works. run:  lsmod | grep usb   do you see usbhid ?
[15:38] <akSeya> ActionParsnip, nope
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> islandmonkey: you need to run: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com XXXXXXXXXX
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> islandmonkey: for each hex code you have in that output
[15:39] <kesi> ActionParsnip: It's not there not at the moment (just btusb and bluetooth), but the device isn't working.
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> islandmonkey: you have added PPAs but not added the GPG keys
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> kesi: is the mouse bluetooth?
[15:40] <kesi> ActionParsnip, no.
[15:40] <Rikimaru> I just installed Sendmail, how do i configure it?
[15:40] <islandmonkey> ActionParsnip: I did, otherwise they would of never worked (this has only been an issue since a couple of days ago)
[15:40] <warhoI> Hi all please could y ou help me, to find which package provides liblua.so ? I tryied to install some packages but i stil cannot find this file to compile one of my programes :-/
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> islandmonkey: eg: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 68980A0EA10B4DE8
[15:40] <kesi> Rikimaru, sendmailconfig
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> !find liblua.so
[15:41] <islandmonkey> But nevertheless, I'll re-add the keys
[15:41] <warhoI> ActionParsnip:  still problem: ./bin/sauer_server: error while loading shared libraries: liblua.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[15:41] <warhoI> already installed package but still cant find it
[15:42] <Rikimaru> ty kesi. its in progress, should I have to do anything else to be able to send mail?
[15:43] <kesi> Rikimaru, probably. You'll have to set the parameters.
[15:43] <ubuntu_user_need> Does anyone know why I can't "see" a drive my wife mounted, and how to change it so we BOTH can mount a hard drive?
[15:43] <Marzatha> how to make firefox and libreoffice menus in french?
[15:43] <Rikimaru> kesi, can you tell me where? sendmail.conf doesnt have anything revelant
[15:44] <kesi> Rikimaru, I don't know, sorry. I'd just be Googl'ing it myself.
[15:45] <Rikimaru> kesi, ok thanks, i'll look further
[15:46] <kesi> ActionParsnip, any ideas? It seems that no USB devices work after coming out of sleep. I assume I need to restart the module somehow but that last command didn't work
[15:46] <BluesKaj> ubuntu_user_need, are both pcs linux and what kind of "drive" is mounted and what is it's format?
[15:47] <nikos_> i have a problem with ndiswrapper. although it seems it is installed and my device 'InProComm Inc. IPN 2220 802.11g' is recognized and i got the mac adress of this device on wlan0, it cannot scan wireless networks. i tried to manully connect my wireless giving name and pass but after some 'thinking' it answers that the key (pass) is wrong. how can i pass throug this problem? does the driver works okey or not? any hel or advise plz?
[15:47] <kesi> ActionParsnip, dmesg error is:  usbhid: Unknown parameter `hid'

[15:47] <kesi> ActionParsnip, I'm not sure what that mean
[15:48] <Marzatha> how to make firefox and libreoffice menus in french?
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> kesi: if you run:  lsmod    you can see the loaded modules, you can unload and reload them to see if it helps (only do ones that are likely). Also, check for bug reports for the system's make and model
[15:49] <kesi> ActionParsnip, maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it seems that the USB module is unloading at sleep. I'm trying to figure out how to reload.

[15:50] <bau-> hi all, i have installed ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop acer travelmate 8372, but the wifi doesn't work it says it's hardware switch locked, what can i do?
[15:51] <Rikimaru> bau- is the hardware switch locked?
[15:52] <Rikimaru> bau- the button to turn on and off your wireless on your laptop
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> kesi: could reboot and run:  lsmod > ~/Desktop/before.txt     then hibernate or whatever, wake up and run:  lsmod > ~/Desktop/after.txt    You can then compare :)
[15:52] <kesi> ActionParsnip, okay. I'll do that now.
[15:52] <bau-> Rikimaru, i think so, but even if i press it, it doesn't work
[15:53] <Rikimaru> press it just once
[15:53] <islandmonkey> ActionParsnip: Nope, still coming up with BADSIG
[15:53] <Rikimaru> and try ifconfig wlan0 up
[15:53] <islandmonkey> ...after re-adding the keys
[15:54] <bau-> Rikimaru, wait a sec i need to reboot

[15:55] <willdabeast> Anyone here very familiar with the 3D settings in ubuntu 12.04 paired with nvidia 7 series cards? I have a question that no one has been able to figure out :)
[15:55] <kesi> ActionParsnip, after reboot, lsmod returns two additional devices: usbhid and hid. Obviously it's working now. Is there anyway other than rebooting to get these modules to load after sleep?
[15:57] <warhoI>  error while loading shared libraries: liblua.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory  !! package liblua-socket-doc installed but still doesnt work ,same problem

[15:58] <fidel_> !ppa | warhoI
[15:58] <researcher_> how to correct BAd Sectors
[15:58] <islandmonkey> warhoI: liblua-socket-doc is only documentation, you won't find any libs in there
[15:58] <islandmonkey> hence the "doc"
[15:58] <willdabeast> Well I am trying to set my keyboard shortcuts because right now they are disabled. When I try and enable them it says I need to be in 3D mode, which I am I thought. Blueskaj
[15:58] <warhoI> islandmonkey:  that package has been reccomended to me here
[15:58] <warhoI> fidel_: no i dont use ppa
[16:01] <willdabeast> BluesKaj any thoughts?
[16:01] <cpg15> Could someone clarify for me, is the intel gma 3600 supported by ubuntu?
[16:01] <theadmin> cpg15: Most intel video cards work just fine.
[16:01] <theadmin> cpg15: Well, as fine as they *can* work.
[16:01] <BluesKaj> willdabeast, in a terminal , glxinfo | grep 3D
[16:02] <willdabeast> blueskaj done

[16:02] <islandmonkey> warhoI: Install liblua5.2-0 and liblua50
[16:02] <BluesKaj> what was the output of the first line , willdabeast ?
[16:02] <cpg15> theadmin, is this because i am using xubuntu as opposed to ubuntu?
[16:03] <willdabeast> blueskaj - GL_EXT_texture3D, GL_EXT_texture_compression_dxt1
[16:03] <warhoI> islandmonkey: same error, cant find that file
[16:04] <theadmin> cpg15: No, that shouldn't be a problem. Run the Additional Drivers tool and see if it helps
[16:04] <warhoI> islandmonkey:  nvm i am sorry
[16:04] <warhoI> it works now
[16:04] <cpg15> theadmin, thank you. i'll try and that
[16:04] <islandmonkey> !yay | warhoI
[16:04] <warhoI> :D
[16:06] <cpg15> theadmin
[16:06] <theadmin> cpg15: Yes?
[16:06] <willdabeast> BluesKaj - if this helps, when I click on one of the binds in the Keyboard Shortcut list, it says 'New accelerator...' can't read the rest.
[16:06] <ubuntu_user_need> My wife mounted a hard drive on her account, now I am using the computer on my account, and I can't see the hard drive (can't mount it or use it unless I force unmount then remount). Does anyone know how to fix this issue so both of us could use the hard drive?
[16:07] <cpg15> theadmin: all i get from that is "No propriety drivers are in use on this system" (sorry for accidentally sending that last message!)

[16:07] <researcher_> anyone knows how to correct bad secotrs?
[16:07] <theadmin> cpg15: I see... Hms. Please do: [ -e /etc/X11/xorg.conf ] && echo $?
[16:08] <L3mce> ubuntu_user_need: you could symlink to it, if it is defined in fstab to be in the same place.
[16:08] <L3mce> of course... if it were in fstab, you should both see it
[16:08] <blackshirt> researcher_, fsck if it was logical
[16:08] <theadmin> hubert_: You can't run graphical apps in a TTY, you need X.org
[16:08] <willdabeast> blueskaj any thoughts what 'new accelerator...' means?
[16:08] <hubert_> theadmin: is that some kind of xserver?
[16:08] <theadmin> hubert_: Well, you need any kind of Xserver, yes

[16:44] <theadmin> kurohyou: Ubuntu doesn't automatically remove any kernels so you don't have to worry about that.
[16:44] <theadmin> kurohyou: Just do-release-upgrade.
[16:44] <jrib> kurohyou: umm, why don't you want to touch your kernel?

[16:45] <User_007> Hello, i am using Ubuntu 12.04 and i just made a custom kernel 3.6.1. When i booted it the first time, everything was all right. After the second boot, i could listen any sound off my computer: I have already tried many configurations on sound panel.
[16:45] <User_007> If i boot my old 3.5.4 kernel, the sound comes back and if i boot 3.6.1 again it works on the first boot.
[16:46] <akis> bekks: any comment?
[16:46] <bekks> akis: So please tell us how fast your PCMCIA card is (in MBps) when your WLAN is 24MBps (which is quite slow).
[16:46] <User_007> After the second consecutive boot on 3.6.1 i have no sound anymore.
[16:46] <superpie> so use 3.5.4
[16:47] <User_007> superpie, sure. But it must be some little bug, i want help to fix it
[16:47] <Niarf> any ideas to resolve this error ?

[16:59] <lfkvmn> Oh~!
[16:59] <trism> GoblinRider: there isn't a rc
[16:59] <bazhang> GoblinRider, eta unknown
[16:59] <hilo> how can I set a shell script to run at boot completion time, and have it run as a specific user?
[16:59] <MonkeyDust> Galaxian3500  replace "nls=....,ro,umask=000" with "defaults" (without the quotes)
[17:00] <GoblinRider> it says RC today on the wiki.. hoping they fixed the annoying nouveau bug
 thx I will check it
[17:02] <TheChaser> could someone maybe help me out? Im trying to install ubuntu on my laptop.. that im locked out off.. and when i try to use a flashdrive it says "missing operating system" what do i do?
[17:03] <shazbotmcnasty> ookay ActionParsnip nm-applet is installed and running but no nm-applet is on the bar, and I cannot add it with the right click>add to panel
[17:04] <willdabeast> Does anyone know why when I use pastebinit it returns a blank form in terminal?
[17:04] <theadmin> TheChaser: How did you create the drive?
[17:05] <bekks> willdabeast: How do you invoke it?
[17:05] <TheChaser> i just bought the flashdrive and put the install on it?
[17:05] <bazhang> willdabeast, like "command | pastebinit" ?
[17:05] <hilo> TheChaser, can you get into the bios or a boot device menu?
 | pastebinit yes
[17:05] <shazbotmcnasty> TheChaser: oh like you just dropped the iso on there?
[17:05] <TheChaser> YES
[17:05] <TheChaser> sorry caps
[17:05] <shazbotmcnasty> Oh, that is not how it's done.
[17:06] <TheChaser> and yes i can get into the bios and boot device menu
[17:06] <hilo> TheChaser, yes to who. include who you are responding to
[17:06] <lenochka> any idea how to get telnet server running? i installed telnetd, but cannot seem to start it
[17:06] <bazhang> !unetbootin | TheChaser
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> shazbotmcnasty: i recommend you install a clean install of Precise which is supported til 2017. Lucid desktop dies in April next year
[17:06] <willdabeast> well actually it was <command> | <command> | pastebinit
[17:07] <shazbotmcnasty> I have put in a lot of work to this install and I don't really want to lose it.
[17:08] <shazbotmcnasty> The ONLY thing I have left is to make sure that the wireless works correctly
[17:08] <shazbotmcnasty> and I can't do that without nm-applet
[17:08] <hilo> ActionParsnip, Precise dt gets 5 years but Lucid only gets 3?
[17:08] <willdabeast> bekks and bazhang - the command was glxinfo | grep OpenGL | pastebinit    without the pastebinit it returns 5 lines of code. I don't think it could be timing out...
[17:08] <crizis> shazbotmcnasty, boot with 12.04 livecd and test..?
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> hilo: yes, Lucid server gets 5 though. I believe they made the LTS desktop and server both have 5 years now (easier to administer)
[17:09] <crizis> ^ yes
[17:09] <shazbotmcnasty> crizis: I have to manually install this card and I can't do so in a live environment.
[17:09] <shazbotmcnasty> And I need to make sure it works in this install, not another.
[17:09] <hilo> ActionParsnip, What about a server install with the desktop package installed via apt-get
[17:10] <crizis> hilo, only packages in main repository get support
[17:10] <hilo> hmf :)
[17:10] <hilo> :( *
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> hilo: then its a desktop OS
[17:11] <crizis> we upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04 at work 1 month before 12.04 release... :)
[17:11] <crizis> maybe by 14.04 we get 12.04.. :P
[17:11] <willdabeast> bekks and bazhang - any ideas?
[17:11] <hilo> I have found 12.04 to be extremely unstable in comparison to 10.04
[17:11] <bazhang> willdabeast, why two pipes
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> hilo: even in different DEs?
[17:11] <bazhang> willdabeast, does a single one work
[17:12] <willdabeast> bazhang the person who was helping me before wanted me to pastebinit 2 of them together
[17:12] <willdabeast> bazhang I'll check
[17:12] <willdabeast> bazhang yes haha
[17:12] <hilo> ActionParsnip, Can you recommend others I could/should try? I have only used the default and my X session crashes often, even with very few things running out of clean boot.
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> hilo: XFCE is pretty decent
[17:13] <hilo> ActionParsnip, I had looked for gnome2 alternatives (gnome3 is blah) and I really like the gnome model in comparison to Unity
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> hilo: Unity isn't a desktop
[17:13] <bazhang> hilo, gnome-panel is the "classic" look
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> hilo: when you use Unity, you have Gnome underneath
[17:13] <willdabeast> bazhang but its a different output just doing one
[17:13] <lenochka> so no one knows anything about telnet???
[17:13] <crizis> hilo, you can install 'gnome-panel' to get gnome3 fallback mode
[17:13] <lenochka> how to enable it?
[17:14] <MonkeyDust> crizis  what enterprise is that? i'm asking because i'm looking for case-studies
[17:14] <bazhang> lenochka, thats a general topic
[17:14] <crizis> hilo, which is basically boring old gnome2 look
[17:14] <crizis> i'll pm MonkeyDust
[17:14] <hilo> I tried installing the gnome-panel package to get the classic look, but now nothing works in full screen
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> hilo: xfce4 is a bit easier to use, the gnome fallbnack thing is a little quirky
[17:14] <hilo> The panels are always on top
[17:14] <willdabeast> bazhang apparently grep OpenGL | pastebin doesn't work alone.
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> hilo: exactly, its not great :)
[17:15] <lenochka> bazhang: how is it general? i have installed it, at least the package telnetd, but how can I start it?
[17:15] <hilo> I will try XFCE :)
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> willdabeast: you need to grep something. grep OpenGL   on it's own makes no sense
[17:15] <nikos_> hi all. i had the same problem described here:http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:6TkRX4S0cuwJ:linuxforums.org.uk/index.php%3Ftopic%3D1422.0+InProComm+Inc.+IPN+2220+802.11g+ndiswrapper&cd=1&hl=el&ct=clnk&gl=gr&client=ubuntu. i followed the advises and although seems tha the wireless card is loaded still cannot scan wireless and cannot manually connect to my router asking for key whch i gave already! any help or advice? its
[17:15] <nikos_> very important for me!
[17:16] <willdabeast> actionparnsip but when I do two pipes together it won't pastebinit for me
[17:16] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/telnet-ssl.1.html lenochka
[17:16] <bazhang> nikos_, which card
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> willdabeast: you need to grep something, a file, a stream, something
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> willdabeast: eg:  grep OpenGL ~/.bashrc | pastebinit     will search the ~/.bashrc file for the word 'OpenGL'
[17:17] <lenochka> I need no telnet-ssl, i need raw telnet
[17:17] <willdabeast> well here's what I had before, glxinfo | grep OpenGL | pastebinit     and it doesn't work
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> willdabeast: let me try
[17:18] <willdabeast> actionparsnip : ok thanks, because when I do glxinfo | grep OpenGL without the pastebinit it works fine.
[17:18] <nikos_> bazhang: this is the original site: http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=1422.0. card: InProComm Inc. IPN 2220 802.11g
[17:19] <hilo> ActionParsnip, How do I completely remove gnome/unity to ensure that things aren't conflicting when I install XFCE?
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> hilo: i wouldn't recommend it, they won't conflict
[17:19] <hilo> ActionParsnip, okay
[17:20] <hilo> ActionParsnip, thanks
[17:20] <nikos_> bazhang: any comment?
[17:21] <hilo> how can I set a shell script to run at boot completion time, and have it run as a specific user?
[17:21] <harovali> hi, I'm running an ubuntu server 2.6.32-43-generic-pae #97-Ubuntu SMP, and ext4 partitions. There are heavy slowdowns related to the kernel bug that in theory gets solved by doing 'echo 4 > /sys/fs/ext4/sdaN/max_writeback_mb_bump' for each N mounted partition. However, having done that, the slowdowns persist. How can I address this ? Is there a fixed kernel bakport that can be apt-get'd for instance? Other approcehes are wel

[17:22] <Onkeltem> Hi. I connect to a remote host via ssh from Midnight commander but when I copy files it doesn't respect remote umask. Does anybody know where it is configured?
[17:23] <hilo> theadmin, Thanks!!
[17:23] <nikos_> bazhang: i know that. i have already run it. everything looks ok, but the device cannot scan, cannot manually connect. probably the driver doesnt properly works but how can i be sure where is the problem?
[17:24] <ViaNocturna> hey, i got an issue,when i log in2 unity, it appears almost 2d like and takes a lot of log in & log outs to get proper 3D
[17:24] <willdabeast> actionparsnip - any ideas?
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> willdabeast: my pastebinit seems a bit screwy, gonna make it change url
[17:26] <snakester> any of you have any recommendations for clients better than irssi? I just got it but I want to know if anyone thinks there are better ones?
[17:26] <ViaNocturna> snakester: I personally prefer (and am using) Smuxi
[17:27] <jrib> snakester: irssi is pretty good.  weechat is nice too
[17:27] <osse> Is a syslog implementation running on 12.04 by default? I am trying to log something but am having a hard time. I found some rsyslog conf files but the impression I got was that only some stuff (mail, kernel) are logged
[17:27] <jrib> snakester: also, BestBot in #ubuntu-bots can give you more ideas
[17:27] <hilo> theadmin, is there a similar file where I can place shell scripts that need to run before the system starts shutting down and sending sigterm to all the processes? (I am trying to figure out a way to gracefully shutdown or save state for virtual machines that are running at the time of a shutdown command)
[17:27] <snakester> thanks guys
[17:28] <theadmin> hilo: /etc/rc.shutdown ;)
[17:28] <Pinkamena_D> hello, when using gedit and i press ctrl+s and start to type the name, it types by default into the file search box instead of the "filename" box. Is their any way to change this?
[17:28] <theadmin> or wait no
[17:28] <Pinkamena_D> i need to save alot of small files (learning python)
[17:28] <hilo> theadmin, well that makes sense.
[17:28] <hilo> theadmin, thanks
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> snakester: better is an opinion, no client is better than another
[17:28] <sram> mysql performance issues | 4core | 4process | 16gig | free -m shows 15gig used
[17:29] <snakester> I know Action.. I was looking for opinions. Poor wording on my part
[17:29] <theadmin> hilo: Wait, that's wrong, seems that's not in Ubuntu :/
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> snakester: irssi has a lot of scriptablity, pidgin is nice and easy
[17:29] <snakester> ty

[17:29] <luist> hey guys. i created an app and a specific user with the right permissions. How can i run this app with this specific user automatically without prompting a password? I need to run the command from a script, so i tried sudo su <user> -c "<command>" but it asks for the user password!
[17:29] <osse> I confirmed easiliy enough that rsyslogd is running, so I guess I need to dig around in the conf files
[17:30] <ViaNocturna> any1 know why unity starts without transparency etc when i log in but only works properly after a few times logging out and back in? (i have screenshots)

[17:33] <snakester> nikos: Never saw your question?
[17:33] <ViaNocturna> sram: according to google its in Freenode under #centos and #centos-social
[17:33] <jrib> puddle: put full, complete errors with proper context in a pastebin and link them in your question.  Also, please use punctation as it's hard to follow what you are saying otherwise

[17:36] <puddle> okay thank you I will check it right now and get back to you

[17:38] <puddle> well I am gona check all the issues I am just afraid that I messed it up already
[17:38] <puddle> I also installed webmin

[17:42] <ollie_> I don't understand zRam. "It increases performance by avoiding paging on disk and instead uses a compressed block device in RAM in which paging takes place until it is necessary to use the swap space on the hard disk drive." It says this is useful for machines with LESS ram. I don't understand, surely it uses more ram and less disk space?

Be aware that some older adapters may not support WPA2 or even WPA. If you seem to never be able to connect this may be the problem. is it possible not to support wpa/wpa2?
[17:43] <Biggie0344> my question is: Normally i am using amd64 ubuntu software (on my amd cpu) but now i have a I-5 cpu it supports 64 bit... shall I download the 64bit edition of ubuntu or go for the i386 ?

[17:47] <gaspar_> hi at all
[17:47] <willdabeast> BluesKaj - so you want me to change to the restricted one? Is that what u mean?

I installed gdm package for the same and configured dm for gdm instead of kdm. On restart, the gdm was not how Ubuntu default 12.054 would show up and couldn't see a virtual keyboard. How can I have virtual keyboard working on gdm? Or is gdm not the right package?
[17:54] <willdabeast> BluesKaj gotcha thanks :)
[17:54] <jrib> puddle: check that php works ok in /var/www/ I guess
[17:54] <puddle> okay ty
[17:55] <gaspar_> on ubuntu studio very nice dist ubuntu is best cya

[17:55] <jrib> puddle: if you read the comments in what you pastebinned, you can see what you need to do to get php to work in public_html
[17:55] <jrib> gyre008: do you mean crontabs?
[17:56] <puddle> ill read it again and ty for being kind enough to help me
[17:56] <gyre008> yeah crontabs
[17:56] <gyre008> sorry
[17:56] <gyre008> typo
[17:56] <gyre008> was gonna say cronjobs
[17:56] <gyre008> they are essentially wants executed from crontab
[17:56] <theadmin> orated: The default login manager in 12.04 is lightdm
[17:56] <jrib> gyre008: the jobs in crontab have their own environment.  If you want them to read /etc/environment then you should explicitly do so in the crontab
[17:57] <gyre008> jrib, thats the thing I can't…crontab is created by a ruby gem (whenever)
[17:57] <puddle> jrib its working ty very much
[17:58] <jrib> gyre008: you should still be able to edit the crontab, no?  Let me see if there's some other way...
[17:58] <jrib> puddle: no problem
[17:58] <jrib> puddle: by the way; there's a reason php is disabled in user homes by default.  If you have several users on the system there may be some security concerns
[17:58] <gyre008> jrib, every time the deployment is done it will be overridden…can't do anything manually
[17:59] <jrib> gyre008: I see
[18:00] <Ray2> Xchat in 10.04 I can no longer tab complete nick....yet in 12.04 I can...any suggestions ??
[18:01] <jrib> gyre008: actually according to man 5 crontab, cron *should* read /etc/environment... interesting.  Can you be more specific about what environment variable you are manipulating?
[18:01] <orated> theadmin: Is lightdm modified for Plasma Active?
[18:01] <theadmin> orated: I'm not sure what "Plasma Active" even is.
[18:01] <willdabeast> Anyone else want to try and help with Ubuntu 12.04 Video problems, in 3D mode but it won't allow me to set keyboard shortcuts such as alt-tab. It says "New Accelerator...".
[18:01] <kaiyin> hi, is it possible to upgrade from 12.10 beta to 12.10 stable? I am thinking about install 12.10 beta.
[18:01] <w30> +96666666666666
[18:01] <puddle> jrib just dev environment for me but ty
[18:01] <Pici> !final | kaiyin
[18:01] <bazhang> !final | kaiyin
[18:01] <jrib> gyre008: oh, it goes on to say that values from /etc/environment won't override existing settings
[18:02] <kaiyin> ok, thanks~
[18:02] <orated> theadmin: Its used in Vivaldi tablet, based on KDE. I have the package installed for plasma-active and the dm there used in lightdm which is not even close to lightdm ubuntu uses.
[18:03] <orated> s/dm there used is*
[18:03] <theadmin> orated: Hm... Okay, I have no idea what any of that is so I doubt I can help you.
[18:03] <ubunt836> Herro guys.
[18:03] <trism> orated: lightdm can have various greeters, you might be using the kde greeter (ubuntu uses unity-greeter by default)
[18:03] <Olivia> hum...
[18:04] <cyphase> i was using a laptop with 12.04 and my home directory was encrypted. now i want to be able to plug the laptop drive into my desktop (running 11.04) and mount the encrypted directory. the username i was using on the laptop and the desktop username are the same. any tips?
[18:04] <orated> trism: That is what I was looking for! How can I change it? :)
[18:04] <trism> orated: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf , change the greeter-session to the one you want to use (making sure to install the greeter first)
[18:04] <insulina> my keyboard shift keys stop working, how can i solve this
[18:05] <orated> Thanks theadmin trism
[18:07] <b3rz3rk3r> Hi all! Can I safely "sudo-apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop" if I have installed another and wish to remove xfce? Will it break anything other than default installed programs?
[18:07] <jrib> !encrypt | cyphase
[18:08] <jrib> b3rz3rk3r: should be safe, but read what it wants to do carefully before accepting
[18:08] <jrib> b3rz3rk3r: other than hard drive space though, you won't gain much by uninstalling
[18:08] <w30> oops, the "+9666666666" entry was done by my orange cat; he apologizes
[18:09] <orated> trism: lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu.conf OR lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf ?
[18:09] <trism> orated: lightdm.conf
[18:09] <theadmin> b3rz3rk3r: That likely won't remove anything except the "xubuntu-desktop" package itself. Which desktop environment do you want to switch to?
[18:09] <trism> orated: the other ones are for configuring lightdm-gtk-greeter
[18:10] <b3rz3rk3r> jrib, im happy to leave it but I have duplicates in my menus now and XFCE is default choice on login screen too. I'd like to remove the dups and have MATE as default choice. The only way I know to make that happen is remove XFCE
[18:10] <trism> orated: which you probably don't want
[18:10] <b3rz3rk3r> theadmin, MATE
[18:10] <bazhang> which is MINT
[18:10] <theadmin> bazhang: Not necessarily -- mate-desktop.org provides packages for Ubuntu
[18:10] <trism> orated: just make sure the line in lightdm.conf is greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
[18:10] <darkhalo117> Trying to install 12.04 on an ASUS laptop and, on the forums, it says the AHCI feature (battery mon.) will not initialize upon boot with any kind of media. Suggestions?
[18:10] <bazhang> theadmin, which repo
[18:10] <nikos__> hi all. i had the same problem described here http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=1422.0 . i followed the advises and although seems that the wireless card is loaded still cannot scan wireless and cannot manually connect to my router although i have it free form every security keys! any help or advice? its very important for me!
[18:11] <orated> trism: Sorry, I meant to ask the greeter to be lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu or lightdm-gtk-greeter. I can see greeter= as for kde in lightdm.conf
[18:11] <b3rz3rk3r> bazhang, deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu precise main
[18:11] <theadmin> bazhang: http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download#ubuntu - these here.
[18:11] <orated> Ah, ok. Thanks trism
[18:11] <hilo> Is there a way to change the countdown on the shutdown screen? When I hit the power button on my computer with the 'ask me' setting, it brings up the shutdown dialog, with a 60 second counter. Is there a way to change that 60 second countdown?
[18:11] <bazhang> theadmin, so 3rd party?
[18:11] <jrib> hilo: what ubuntu version?
[18:11] <theadmin> b3rz3rk3r: Anyway... I don't think I have any guidelines on "switching to mate" anywhere, can't really help with 3rd party stuff
[18:11] <hilo> 10.04 dt
[18:12] <hilo> jrib, 10.04
[18:12] <theadmin> bazhang: Yeah... then again, it's not mint which was the point of mine
[18:12] <b3rz3rk3r> b3rz3rk3r, ok, guess ill be the guinea pig then! :p
[18:12] <bazhang> there's not a Puremate
[18:12] <jrib> hilo: ok, i don't actually know where or even if that setting is exposed somewhere
[18:12] <ardchoille> How is that done? MATE is GTK2 and Ubuntu provides GTK3. Does the MATE repo also install all of GTK2?
[18:12] <theadmin> ardchoille: Well, Ubuntu provides both 2 and 3
[18:12] <theadmin> !info gtk2 | ardchoille
[18:13] <theadmin> Err.
[18:13] <theadmin> Whatever it's called :P
[18:13] <trism> !info libgtk2.0-0
[18:13] <theadmin> trism: Yes, that, thank you.
[18:14] <ardchoille> theadmin: I don't think current Ubuntu release provides GTK2 toolkit packages
[18:14] <trism> ardchoille: note the (precise)
[18:14] <theadmin> ardchoille: Sure does. There are very many GTK2 apps which will break if they dropped the support. Firefox, Pidgin, etc etc etc
[18:15] <ardchoille> Ah, good points
[18:15] <Ray2> Xchat in 10.04 I can no longer tab complete nick....yet in 12.04 I can...any suggestions ??
[18:16] <DX099> hello, Firefox 16 has been said to be suffering from a zero-day, is the versions currently in the repos vulnerable ?

[18:24] <harovali> hi, I'm running an ubuntu server 2.6.32-43-generic-pae #97-Ubuntu SMP, and ext4 partitions. There are heavy slowdowns related to the kernel bug that in theory gets solved by doing 'echo 4 > /sys/fs/ext4/sdaN/max_writeback_mb_bump' for each N mounted partition. However, having done that, the slowdowns persist. How can I address this ? Is there a fixed kernel bakport that can be apt-get'd for instance? Other approcehes are wel
[18:25] <jrib> harovali: what ubuntu version?
[18:26] <harovali> jrib: I'm not complete sure, is there a file in the installation that says the ubuntu version? I guess it's a ubuntu server 11.04 or near it
[18:26] <jrib> !version | harovali
[18:26] <DX099> any clue about firefox someone ?
[18:27] <jrib> DX099: get the cve number for the exploit you are talking about
[18:27] <harovali> jrib: # lsb_release -a \nNo LSB modules are available.\nDistributor ID:	Ubuntu\nDescription:	Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS\nRelease:	10.04\nCodename:	lucid\n
[18:28] <OerHeks> DX099, ff16 is not drawnback. so i guess it is safe. ( FF is not mentioned @ http://www.ubuntu.com/usn )
[18:28] <DX099> jrib, https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2012/10/10/security-vulnerability-in-firefox-16/
[18:28] <ViaNocturna> OerHeks: actually, FF16 has been drawn back by Mozilla due to security risks
[18:29] <jrib> harovali: I'm not familiar with your actual issue, but you can find backported kernels in your repositories. You can see the packages by doing: apt-cache search -n linux image backport
[18:29] <OerHeks> ViaNocturna, for android, windows and mac yes, there is a 16.01 in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa
[18:29] <ViaNocturna> OerHeks: Oh, I assumed FF was the same all around, ignore me then lol
[18:29] <harovali> jrib: thanks, I'll check that
[18:30] <OerHeks> ViaNocturna, they are not open about the OS involved, i hate that too.
[18:30] <DX099> OerHeks, are these the official repos from which I usually update ?
[18:30] <ViaNocturna> OerHeks: When I read the article I was going to remove my FF too, if it wasnt for my fish attention span
[18:31] <DX099> 16.0+build1-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>, is what is mentionned by aptitude
[18:32] <nikos_> i am using a wireless pcmcia tp-ling card (54Mbps) but the connection's informaiton gives only from 1 to 6 Mb/s. ( Wire connection gives me 100Mb/s). For that reason the wireless connection with my router is slow and many times cannot load properly and fully many 'heavy' pages. any idea or help to increase wireless connection between my notebook (through this pcmcia card) and my router?
[18:35] <harovali> jrib: What  would be more apporpriate between linux-image-server-lts-backport-oneiric and linux-image-generic-pae-lts-backport-oneiric for my Ubuntu Server10.04.4 LTS lucid?
[18:35] <ThePendulum> I'm having some issues with Ubuntu i.c.w. my Galaxy S3. It connects properly, and all of the sudden, after a few days, it own't anymore.
[18:35] <harovali> jrib: the machine has just two gigas of ram
[18:35] <ThePendulum> Any ideas what could cause this?
[18:35] <jrib> harovali: the server one
[18:35] <harovali> jrib: thanks
[18:38] <ThePendulum> *won't
[18:38] <ViaNocturna> ThePendulum: does it connect fine with other OS's?
[18:39] <ThePendulum> ViaNocturna: Windows 7 has zero issues
[18:40] <ViaNocturna> ThePendulum: I'm not too sharp on these things but maybe someone here who is clued up on removable hardware can help
[18:41] <ThePendulum> ViaNocturna: I figured, that's why I'm here, hehe. Thanks.
[18:41] <beefman> any sendmail experts?  i have a few problems
[18:41] <Ririshi> Hey people! If I press the '  key and then a letter, the ' appears on top of that letter, or does not appear. Is there a way to make that work, like it works in windows?
[18:41] <ViaNocturna> ThePendulum: I only asked since I had that a few days ago and turned out it was my cable lol
[18:42] <beefman> i get SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email in /var/log/mail.log
[18:42] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: Go to the System Settings > Keyboard Layout
[18:42] <beefman> for every message i send to my machine
[18:42] <beefman> also SYSERR(root): rewrite: excessive recursion (max 50), ruleset canonify for every message
[18:42] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: Then click on the little plus in the bottom left corner of that window
[18:42] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: I tried it, but there is no keyboard exactly the same as what I have on windows.. ):
[18:42] <ThePendulum> The one I have now is the one I'm used to ever since my XP days
[18:43] <mfaroukg> what is the other desktops but unity?
[18:43] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: Have you tried English (US, international with dead keys)?
[18:43] <ThePendulum> mfanelli: Gnome, Xfce, KDE, LXDE
[18:43] <ThePendulum> Those are the most popular ones
[18:43] <ThePendulum> Also there's Cinnamon, more popular on Mint
[18:44] <ThePendulum> And RAPE, based on Gnome 2.x and developed further
[18:44] <ThePendulum> Wait, not RAPE... omg
[18:44] <ThePendulum> *MATE *sick mind*
[18:44] <ViaNocturna> ThePendulum: erm, wow
[18:44] <mfaroukg> ThePendulum: your good
[18:45] <ThePendulum> Time to spend some more time on other things but Motherless.
[18:45] <Ray2> Xchat in 10.04 I can no longer tab complete nick....yet in 12.04 I can...any suggestions ??

[18:46] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: Ít śhóúld dó éxáctlý whát ýóú ẃáńt tó dó
[18:47] <willdabeast> Anyone else want to try and help with Ubuntu 12.04 Video problems, in 3D mode but it won't allow me to set keyboard shortcuts such as alt-tab. It says "New Accelerator...".
[18:47] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: i can make letters like this: ḿḱśĺṕ I don't need such letters with '.. and I HAVE to press space after ' to make it appear in words like "it's"
[18:47] <ThePendulum> willdabeast: Isn't alt-tab already assigned to window switching?
[18:48] <Razer__> When I try to run Dropbox (the one from the software center) it says, "Dropbox is running from an unsupported location. Please visit [dropbox website] to download and install the latest version." What should I do?
[18:48] <Ririshi> willdabeast: ThePendulum: it is.
[18:48] <Rikimaru> could someone help me fix postfix, please?
[18:48] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: Well, just select US, without dead keys then? :-)
[18:48] <willdabeast> ThePendulum - it is, but the problem is it is disabled because it says I need a New accelerator or something.
[18:48] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: what is "dead" keys?
[18:48] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: thésé
[18:49] <willdabeast> Ririshi and ThePendulum - almost half of my binds are disabled.
[18:49] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: That you don't have to do something special to make thésé cháráctérs
[18:49] <ThePendulum> Razer__: Try downloading the .deb from their website
[18:49] <ThePendulum> Razer__: I usually do, probably because I once had issues as well
[18:50] <Razer__> I've looked it up on Google and there's a mix between uninstall from the software center and get the one from dropbox.com, and to just ignore the warning because it works anyway.
[18:50] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: i want it with.. semi-dead keys ;p I want the ' to appear when I press ' and then press letters that aren't '-able normally. letters like t..
[18:50] <frooh> what file can I edit that will set some ENV vars for GDM for my user?
[18:51] <frooh> I figured .session or .profile but it doesn't seem to work (my PATH didn't change)
[18:51] <leblinux> any themes link for ubuntu 12.04 (classic)?
[18:51] <jrib> frooh: .xprofile
[18:52] <jrib> frooh: or .profile if you want it to take effect even when you login at a tty or ssh for example
[18:52] <jrib> frooh: .profile SHOULD work; what did you try exactly?
[18:53] <frooh> jrib: I put export PATH="...:$PATH" at the bottom (left the bash bit alone, though I don't use bash) and logged out and back in
[18:53] <frooh> jrib: then tried to run a command frmo ~/bin from gvim (:!command) as that doesn't run from my shell
[18:53] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: That's indeed a little complited... imagine the word "that's", it wouldn't know if you want "that's" or "thatś". I got used to the space.
[18:54] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: what does complited mean? sorry, English isn't my primary language ;p
[18:54] <frooh> maybe I should put some debug statements in .profile and check .xsession-errors to see if it's actually running it for sure?
[18:54] <jrib> frooh: ok, first "..." isn't a valid path (i.e. be exact so we don't miss anything silly).  Also, ~/bin should be automatically added to your PATH by the default ~/.profile once it exists at login
[18:54] <frooh> jrib: I took that part out of my .profile when I made it the following: export PATH="/home/frew/perl5/perlbrew/bin:/home/frew/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.0/bin:/home/frew/code/git-super-status/bin:/opt/bin:/home/frew/code/teatime/bin:/home/frew/bin:$PATH"
[18:54] <jrib> frooh: can you pastebin your ~/.profile ?  And are you really using gdm?  lightdm is now default
[18:54] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: *COMPLICATED, my bad :P
[18:55] <frooh> jrib: I had problems with lightdm, so I siwtched back to gdm
[18:55] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: how does windows recognize that, then? on US International, letters like śḿḱĺ won't even appear.
[18:55] <jrib> frooh: ok, .profile should still work
[18:55] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: oh haha okay
[18:55] <Praxi> man I can do almost everything on my ubuntu box now for work.  The only thing making me keep a windows VM around is I cant print to my Canon IR 7000
[18:55] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: Some keys are skipping, but the batteries of my keyboard are full... I wonder what's wrong...  2.4GHz interference or someting
[18:55] <jrib> frooh: what is your PATH after you login?
[18:55] <ThePendulum> *something <-- that's what I mean
[18:55] <willdabeast> ThePendulum or ririshi - any idea how to fix it? I think it has to do with video issues
[18:55] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: was that meant to tell me?
[18:55] <frooh> jrib: k, sec
[18:55] <jrib> frooh: make sure you check from a newly spawned terminal (i.e. don't check in something like screen or tmux)
[18:55] <Ririshi> willdabeast: what kernel are you on?
[18:55] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: Yeah, nothing important though, just some personal whining
[18:56] <mfaroukg> any one share with me good /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:56] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: I'll try a few layouts and report back
[18:56] <frooh> jrib: bizarre, I started a terminal (xterm sh, so it doesn't run my .zshrc) and it DOES have my new path...
[18:56] <frooh> in fact
[18:56] <frooh> it's working
[18:56] <frooh> and I'm just retarded
[18:56] <jrib> frooh: heh

[18:57] <Ririshi> willdabeast: http://askubuntu.com/questions/140254/how-to-install-linux-3-4
[18:57] <jrib> frooh: you can read /usr/sbin/lightdm-session to look at all the things it loads (it's a shell script)
[18:57] <willdabeast> ririshi ty c:
[18:57] <Ririshi> willdabeast: I'm new to ubuntu :p so not really pro atm
[18:57] <Ririshi> np willdabeast
[18:58] <orated> trism: Hey, I tried what you said. In both the cases, the login screen seem to follow some classic way of login with in-center users option and password option with Help and Shutdown etc option on top-right. I don;t see on-screen keyboard with lightdm in any of the greeters
[18:58] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: thanks for that :D
[18:58] <willdabeast> ririshi well it won't screw anything up will it?
[18:58] <frooh> jrib: ah, gotcha.  I didn't even know about /etc/gdm/Xsession till I googled this :)
[18:58] <Ririshi> willdabeast: not supposed to, you can enter older kernels via grub holding shift at boot
[18:58] <mfaroukg> :-X
[18:58] <Ririshi> willdabeast: if you screw up something, you can boot it via 3.2 and delete it using the commands on that webpage
[18:59] <willdabeast> ririshi gotcha :]
[18:59] <Ririshi> willdabeast: if you're on a laptop, it may screw your wlan drivers btw
[18:59] <leblinux> is kernel 3.6 deb packages available for 12.04?
[18:59] <willdabeast> ririshi haha i see maybe not then

[18:59] <willdabeast> ririshi yea I have nvidia gfx too so I may hold off but I'll save the page
[18:59] <bekks> prashant_123456: "not working" is pretty vague.
[18:59] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: Let me get this straight. You want n'm things without having to tap space, but you want to have á-like characters also without having to tap an extra key?
[18:59] <Ririshi> willdabeast: okay (:
[19:00] <Praxi> prashant_123456, I'm pretty happy with vmware
[19:00] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: yeah.
[19:00] <trism> orated: did you try unity-greeter ?
[19:00] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: only the a e i o u should get a ' on top, other letter shouldn't
[19:00]  * bekks uses vbox since version 1.6
[19:00] <prashant_123456> Praxi, it gives error about kernel drivers not loaded
[19:00] <orated> trism: Nope, I tried as you said , lightdm-gtk-greeter
[19:00] <bekks> prashant_123456: And it tells you how to load them.
[19:00] <Ririshi> Who Wants A Choco Cookie? I'll send it via airmail :D
[19:01] <orated> trism: I'll try unity-greeter
[19:01] <bekks> prashant_123456: By issueing "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup"
[19:01] <trism> orated: the one I said first was unity-greeter (this is the default ubuntu one), I only said lightdm-gtk-greeter after you asked about it
[19:01] <prashant_123456> bekks, i dont know what the actual problem is
[19:01] <Praxi> prashant_123456, its a easy google, I had to fix it on mine
[19:01] <prashant_123456> Praxi, ok
[19:01] <orated> trism: Oh, sorry then I missed it. I'll try it now :)
[19:01] <prashant_123456> bekks, and also one more error about usb
[19:01] <Praxi> prashant_123456, it was a while ago so I don't remember the easy fix :)  Mainly I just like vmware so I can move my VM's around easier when I want to take them to esxi
[19:01] <Ririshi> someone told me ubuntu unity is crap, i should take mint maya or smth? I was like.. lolno.
[19:01] <bekks> prashant_123456: Then install the extension pack, too.
[19:02] <prashant_123456> bekks, how to install extension pack
[19:02] <bekks> prashant_123456: Thats described in the vbox manual.
[19:02] <prashant_123456> bekks, ok
[19:02] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: Indeed seems impossible... best I can do is áéúí on alt :|
[19:03] <bekks> prashant_123456: And you may join #vbox for vbox-related issues.
[19:03] <morsnowski> prashant_123456, it's actually a menu point in virtualbox
[19:03] <prashant_123456> bekks, any simple cli alternative for virtualbox line xen
[19:03] <bekks> prashant_123456: Sure. VBoxManage.
[19:04] <prashant_123456> bekks, ok
[19:04] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: too bad, sorry for taking your time ):
[19:04] <ner0x> How can I set the time or see my timezone information?
[19:04] <Ririshi> ner0x: system settings > time and date
[19:04] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: I'm here to help :P Or at least try
[19:04] <ner0x> Ririshi: Sorry, on a headless box.
[19:05] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: but trying to help, then being not productive just wastes time..
[19:05] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: True, but you can't know that beforehand. At least I now know that something like that most likely isn't possible, so I don't have to waste my time on that next time :-)
[19:06] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: that's true (:
[19:06] <marjinal1st> hi, how can i make console (not graphical terminal, i mean init 3 level) colorful highlighted?
[19:06] <H4k> !list
[19:06] <leblinux> any themes link for ubuntu 12.04 (classic)?
[19:07] <Jrix> I haaate asking for advice such as this but I'm just stumped. Ubuntu refuses to see a wireless network I need. It sees all other networks. Windows and Fedora both see the network in question. There is no way to connect to it via ubuntu. I AM STUCK.
[19:07] <H4k> how download file?
[19:07] <H4k> help me please
[19:07] <Jrix> H4k, you're in the wrong channel.
[19:07] <prashant_123456> bekks, yes now its running in oracle virtualbox
[19:07] <H4k> yes =P

[19:07] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: Some other guy has the same problem, no solution either :| http://askubuntu.com/questions/110828/how-can-i-use-dead-keys-for-consonants
[19:07] <ner0x> Ririshi: dpkg-reconfigure tzdata  # just an FYI if you're asked in the future. :-)
[19:08] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: You'll get used to either the space or the alt, whatever you decide to go with
[19:08] <Ririshi> ner0x: okay :)
[19:08] <marjinal1st> hi, how can i make console (not graphical terminal, i mean init 3 level) colorful highlighted?
[19:08] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: yeah I'll go with the space, otherwise it's a bigger difference compared to windows
[19:08] <ner0x> Ririshi: Your way was fine but I was SSHed into an aws ec2.
[19:08] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: As I do use windows and ubuntu both
[19:09] <Ririshi> ner0x: yeah :p
[19:09] <Romek1313_PL> what ubuntu distribution (ubuntu, lubuntu etc.) do you recommend for atom (1.66 GHz, GMA3150) netbook?
[19:10] <mfaroukg> what is the best  vpn?
[19:10] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: You can set Windows to do it the Ubuntu way, afaik
[19:10] <orated> trism: Working, thanks :) Lastly, can you help me the with command to lock screen in Ubuntu?
[19:10] <bekks> mfaroukg: There is no "best" in vpn.

[19:10] <ner0x> Ririshi: Was trying to get crontab working and noticed it was 7pm on the system. Ugh... nope. lol
[19:10] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: I could ;p
[19:10] <marjinal1st> Can anyone tell me that how can i make console (not graphical terminal, i mean init 3 level) colorful highlighted?
[19:10] <Ririshi> ner0x: oopsiedaisy ;p
[19:11] <trism> orated: ctrl+alt+L by default I think (on ubuntu anyway, don't know what session you are using)
[19:11] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: Easier to get some consistency in your typing :P
[19:11] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: that's true..
[19:11] <ThePendulum> I wish the login/lock screen was also dual screen :|
[19:11] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: going to friends, all got standard mappings on their windows machines..
[19:12] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: For whatever reason, all machines I work with are set to my way, which is "don't" with a space and á without
[19:12] <orated> trism: I know the keyboard shortcut. I asked about the command to lock screen which I can input in terminal :)

[19:13] <d1gital> version control for managing configuration of a system-- makes sense?  It seems useful to me.
[19:13] <puddle> i got an issue with skype, i hear sounds, i hear other ppl talking to me but they can not hear me, i tried messing with sound config but no luck, anyone could give me advice how to fix it?
[19:13] <trism> orated: if gnome-ish then gnome-screensaver-command --lock
[19:13] <jtheuer> hi, what could sudo pm-suspend -> "flock: 3: Bad file descriptor" mean?
[19:13] <ThePendulum> Ririshi: Oh god, I always throw out Rhythmbox immediatly for I don't want that silly track info order they use. I honestly wouldn't know, sorry.
[19:14] <Ririshi> ThePendulum: what do you use for music playing? I just started up stuff with that :D
[19:14] <willdabeast> is there a separate ubuntu channel for video support?

[19:25] <_Trullo> how do I mount 2 dirs into 1? I tried mount --bind, but it only shows the last dir..
[19:26] <bekks> _Trullo: you cant. One mountpoint, one directory.
[19:26] <_Trullo> ok, so I have to use that unionfs then?
[19:26] <bekks> Yes.
[19:26] <_Trullo> ok, thanks, I'll try to figure it out

[19:43] <ryanbrunswick> hey can anyone help me out with setting up the nvidia legacy driver on my dell d800 laptop?
[19:46] <ardchoille> Those of you on 10.04 LTS, it's time to update your kernel - Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1606-1
[19:47] <bekks> ardchoille: Provide a link at least.
[19:47] <guntbert> Ririshi: stop the nonsense please
[19:47] <Ririshi> guntbert: i didn't say anything the last 6 minutes.
[19:48] <puddle> ive got a soundblaster audigy se and ive sound just fine but my mic is not working for some reason not just in skype
[19:48] <guntbert> Ririshi: true, I didn't look at timestamps - sorry - but it *was* annoying :-)
[19:48] <puddle> anyone has any idea how to fix it?
[19:48] <Ririshi> sorry guntbert :p
[19:49] <Ririshi> puddle: did you set the skype settings to the audigy se mic input?
[19:49] <puddle> well the only option i can set is pulsaudio control
[19:50] <puddle> pulsaudio server local
[19:50] <puddle> to be precise
[19:50] <viniciusarq> do you know if removing network-manager and installing wicd may get more stable my torrents dwnload?

[19:53] <prashant_123456> i have a vbox guest additions iso file but dont know how to use it

[19:56] <spaceneedle> I'm having weird wifi  issues with Ubuntu 12.01.1.  The wifi icon at the top often displays itself as not connected even tho I know I am. Also, When I click the wifi icon there are no networks showing.
[19:56] <Atlantic777> Hi! I need few good arguments against wubi installations. People around me are installing ubuntu in the wubi way and I don't know how to explain them why they shouldn't do it. :D
[19:58] <dr_willis> hang in here and see dozens of broken wubi systems a week that no one knows how to fix Atlantic777
[19:58] <dr_willis> i reccomend vbox over wubi. or install to a ysb flash drive
[19:59] <dr_willis> wubi is a "test drive" type setup.
[20:00] <Atlantic777> I recommend them vbox, too but... They all think that it's good enough but they call me when something go wrong and...
[20:00] <Atlantic777> I need something more than "that doesn't work ok".
[20:01] <dr_willis> wubi will go wrong more then vbox...
[20:02] <dr_willis> if windows dies so does wubi... :) a normal install is the way to go.
[20:03] <guntbert> Atlantic777: wubi resides just inside one big windows file - if anything happens to that windows file - boom
[20:04] <Atlantic777> guntbert: interesting... I didn't know how it actually works.
[20:05] <dr_willis> wubis main advantage is you dont repartirion your drives.. and its easy to remove... everything else about it is basically worse. :-)  than a normal install
[20:05] <Benxyzzy> I have an ncurses program that borks the newline of my terminal on exit. As in, after closing the program I find that hitting return in my terminal doesn't give me another command prompt on the next line, but instead puts it on the same line as the previous one.
[20:05] <Benxyzzy> How do I 'turn newlines back on'?
[20:06] <dr_willis> Benxyzzy: even hitting return several times?
[20:06] <dr_willis> try the "reset" commant
[20:06] <ner0x> Any such thing as dynamic system cron?
[20:06] <Benxyzzy> yes. It looks like ben@host:~$ ben@host:~$ ben@host:~$ ben@host:~$ ben@host:~$ ben@host:~$
[20:07] <Benxyzzy> I will try reset
[20:07] <dr_willis> ner0x: clarify what you mean
[20:07] <Benxyzzy> dr_willis: reset is perfect, thanks
[20:07] <dr_willis> Benxyzzy:  old school commands ;-)
[20:08] <ner0x> dr_willis: Possibly setting the crontab entries in a db or something similar.
[20:09] <seq> I'm trying to join my ubuntu machine to an AD domain. So far I can get a kerberos TGT with `kinit`, and `wbinfo -u` lists all the domain users. However, I'm unable to log on as any user. Any suggestions?
[20:09] <dr_willis> there are different crons you can try i imagine. not looked into cron i  ages.
[20:10] <ardchoille> Those of you on 11.10, it's time to upgrade your kernel too - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1607-1/
[20:11] <[twisti]> whats the proper way to start a custom program in ubuntu lts 12 server ? note that im not asking for *a* way to start something, i know plenty, but what way am i SUPPOSED to start stuff ?
[20:12] <dr_willis> depends on whats its doing.
[20:12] <jrib> [twisti]: you mean automatically, at boot?  What sort of program?
[20:12] <dr_willis> for a service. make a upstart job
[20:13] <[twisti]> at boot, yes. znc. i figured id make a script to start and stop it and put that in init.d, is that the proper way ?
[20:13] <gobromy> ciaooo
[20:13] <gobromy> !list
[20:13] <rymate1234> hmmm
[20:13] <[twisti]> dr_willis: upstart job ? znc runs as a daemon so its kind of a service i suppose
[20:13] <jrib> [twisti]: as your user?
[20:13] <dr_willis> the znc faq i belive mention using cron to keep it running
[20:13] <[twisti]> as a special user
[20:13] <jrib> yes dr_willis
[20:14] <dr_willis> i just ssh in and start it as my user.
[20:14] <jrib> [twisti]: as dr_willis says, the znc wiki suggests just using the user's crontab
[20:14] <[twisti]> that seems like a strange and ineffective way to start a service
[20:15] <dr_willis> it just checks if its running. restarts if it died
[20:15] <dr_willis> i recall.
[20:15] <jrib> [twisti]: it's what znc recommends :)  If you really want to create a proper service, use upstart I suppose
[20:15] <Guest46678> Hello! I went to the IRC after 12 years! : D reminded of the old days ... and it went through Linux here :)
[20:16] <jrib> dr_willis: iirc it just keeps trying to start it but znc is designed not to start another instance if one is already runnig
[20:16] <dr_willis> i dont know if upstart will restart znc if it dies unexpectedly ..
[20:16] <[twisti]> alright, i think im going to go with that then, the cron 'solution' seems incredibly hacky to me
[20:16] <guntbert> Guest46678: welcome! Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[20:16] <[twisti]> and znc has never died on me in years of usage, im willing to take the risk of it not restarting on its own
[20:16] <_Trullo> sudo mount -t aufs , this seems to work aswell
[20:17] <jrib> !upstart | [twisti]
[20:17] <dr_willis> look into upstart then [twisti]
[20:17] <jrib> [twisti]: read the cookbook there
[20:17] <Guest46678> Thank you. I have no questions. All clear :)
[20:17] <[twisti]> thanks
[20:17] <dr_willis> or start it from rc.local
[20:18] <dr_willis> the znc admin feature can close znc. not sure if it can restart it.. :-)
[20:19] <wubi> quit
[20:22] <rymate1234> somsip, today I decided to try out 10.04 ubuntu
[20:22] <rymate1234> meh
[20:22] <rymate1234> sorry somsip, accidently presseed tab :(
[20:22] <rymate1234> so, today I decided to try out 10.04 ubuntu
[20:23] <rymate1234> have to say
[20:23] <rymate1234> fglrx seems faster for games
[20:23] <bekks> !enter | rymate1234
[20:23] <rymate1234> Ok, I won't
[20:23] <[twisti]> upstart has the respawn flag, so i think im good even if it somehow ends
[20:24] <rymate1234> So, is there a way to make the graphics preformance for 12.04 the same as 10.04?
[20:24] <rymate1234> It just seems better on 10.04 for me. No idea why :(
[20:24] <crizis> rymate1234, use 'gnome-panel' (gnome classic) session instead of unity/gnome3/compiz
[20:25] <crizis> other than that, newer drivers should have better, not worse, performance :P
[20:25] <rymate1234> well
[20:25] <rymate1234> I have an AMD card
[20:25] <rymate1234> 4250
[20:25] <crizis> i got 6870 and i don't really notice any difference with any desktop in performance regarding games
[20:26] <rymate1234> hmm
[20:26] <hal> guys, where do I get inforamtion updates about the shambles that is the firefox 16 update that has been recalled by mozilla for security reasons but not by canonical?
[20:27] <rymate1234> if I was to straight upgrade from 10.04, do i retain gnome 2?
[20:27] <crizis> no
[20:27] <hal> how does canonical usually communicate to its communicate these concerns and how to mitigate them ?
[20:27] <rymate1234> ok
[20:28] <beandog> hal: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ ?
[20:29] <mmonat> nonical
[20:30] <hal> beandog: firefox 16 has been totally pulled by mozilla. But the advice in that canonical/ubuntu alert is to install version 16 :/
[20:30] <trism> hal: it was fixed 6 hours ago
[20:31] <hal> version 16 is still in the repo too, so there is no easy way to uninstall 16 and reinstall 15
[20:31] <crizis> 16 itself fixes 14 security holes iirc, so it's still recommended
[20:32] <crizis> likely fixed v16 will land up soon, so just relax :-)
[20:32] <hal> crizis: um, :/
[20:32] <trism> hal: well I believe so anyway, the diff isn't really specific and I don't have access to the mozilla bug listed but it is 16.0.1 now
[20:33] <crizis>   * New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_16_0_1_BUILD1) <- 16.0.1 so... i'd assume this .1 is fixed one
[20:33] <hal> trism: would you mind walking me through how  you worked that out, so I can do it next time?
[20:33] <jrib> bug #1065285
[20:33] <hal> crizis: I don't really like assumptions
[20:34] <jrib> hal: that's the relevant bug
[20:34] <ardchoille> yeah, firefox was updated twice this week, my latest is 16.0.1

[20:34] <L4kers498> can anyone direct me to an appriopraite channelf or this quesrion?  Where is the cheapest place to get an LCD Tv 42 inches or bigger? after trying walmart.com, newegg.com, ebay.com, and craigslist, it seems like walmart is the best optoin w/ 40"+ refurbished tvs starting at $300
[20:34] <crizis> hal, not an assumption. 16.0.1 is also offered by mozilla.com now by default, not the pulled back v15
[20:35] <zykotick9> L4kers498: you could try ##hardware (it's OT here)
[20:35] <rymate1234> well
[20:35] <rymate1234> this upgrade could take a while

[20:36] <puddle> i tired everyrthig i found on google nothing works
[20:37] <k1l> L4kers498: this is a support channel. pls keep the noise out of this
[20:37] <hal> crizis: jrib sorry about this, but the ticket is not clear at all. it does not even state what the issue was
[20:37] <jrib> hal: of course it does
[20:37] <fishbait> i have dual monitor setup some flash videos take the resolution of both monitors is there a way to tell it otherwise?
[20:37] <hal> crizis^: jrib alternatively, it should quote the bug or release in the origin project
[20:37] <jrib> hal: it does
[20:37] <hal> where?
[20:38] <jrib> hal: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1608-1/
[20:38] <fishbait> i have dual monitor setup some flash videos take the resolution of both monitors is there a way to tell it otherwise?
[20:38] <sapharoth> hi everybody!! are you guys talking about downgrading firefox. cause i just read one from the firefox telling everybody to downgrade to previous 15.0, because of some security bug.
[20:39] <k1l> sapharoth: i think they gonna release the patch in next time
[20:39] <bekks> sapharoth: ?
[20:39] <ardchoille>  how convenient that you dropped by, sapharoth
[20:39] <jrib> sapharoth: it's fixed already, just make sure you repositories are up to date with « sudo apt-get update » and you should have firefox 16.0.1 available
[20:39] <hal> jrib: ah right, ok, could you tell me how you found ticket https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1065285 ?  What did you type in on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ ?
[20:40] <jrib> hal: well the way I actually found it was by doing « apt-get changelog firefox »
[20:40] <hal> ahh, heh
[20:40] <k1l> sapharoth: 16.0.1 is in the repos since 6 minutes
[20:40] <hal> what if you didn't have that - I had already removed 16, you see?
[20:41] <jrib> hal: changelog would still be the same I think (not actually sure).  In any case you could just go to the firefox package in launchpad and look at existing bugs
[20:41] <hal> with that ticket, what is the project that should be searched? is it firefox?
[20:41] <fishbait> i have dual monitor setup some flash videos take the resolution of both monitors is there a way to tell it the monitors resolution like 0, 1280, 1024
[20:42] <sapharoth> yeh thanks jrib.
[20:42] <wanksta> hi all
[20:44] <bekks> sapharoth: So no need to be paranoid anymore :)
[20:44] <jrib> 0-days--
[20:44] <wanksta> looking for an application that can manage broadband modem like splitter   splitting msg data and voice
[20:44] <luist> hey guys… im logged in as user AAA. how can i run an app as user BBB but still using the graphics (display) of the user AAA (current user)?? i tried sudo su <user> -c <command>    and   sudo -u <user> <command>  and both crash because of no display on user BBB
[20:45] <sapharoth> yeh k1l, i just checked the bug report. thanks!! and update is running then!!
[20:45] <bekks> wanksta: There is no such software. Splitters are hardware.
[20:46] <puddle> if i copy something into the public html folder in my home  it will not allow apache to display it until i set permissions on everything inside the public html folder
[20:46] <puddle> is there a way so that i can copy there file that can be automaticaly viewed without setting permissions all the time?
[20:46] <wanksta> bekks, so  how can i read incoming msg and accepting calls
[20:46] <jrib> luist: you need to set DISPLAY.  If you know BBB's password you can just use 'su -c' (no sudo).  If you don't know the password, then use sudo -u
[20:47] <jrib> puddle: umm, what user are you copying it as?
[20:47] <bekks> wanksta: That has nothing to do with a splitter. Thats just what an asterisk server does. :)
[20:47] <puddle> well i got a seperate directory where i develop websites and im copying content from there into public html to see it live
[20:47] <puddle> but it will only show after i set permissions on those filed copied
[20:48] <puddle> i am copying it as my own username
[20:48] <jrib> puddle: pastebin what you do exactly; it will be easier
[20:49] <luist> jrib: im using sudo to not need a password… thats configured in the sudoers
[20:49] <puddle> im using dolphin to copy files from /home/username/webdev to /home/username/public_html and im logged in as username
[20:49] <puddle> jrib,  thats all i do
[20:49] <jrib> luist: that's fine, try something like: sudo -u USER DISPLAY=:0 gedit           (or something)
[20:50] <wanksta> bekks, when am in windows there are softwares for which enable to connect the broadband modem and through the same can accepting incoming can and  reading  new msgs
[20:50] <jrib> puddle: « ls -ld /home/username/webdev/some-example-file-here » and « ls -ld /home/username/public_html/some-example-file » after you copy it
[20:51] <puddle> ok
[20:51] <puddle> sec
[20:51] <beandog> jrib: I prefer using sux for X11 stuff as root.
[20:51] <beandog> or any other user, I guess.
[20:51] <beandog> "wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials"
[20:52] <jrib> beandog: wasn't aware of that.  luist see beandog's suggestion
[20:52] <luist> jrib: i just checked and the display variable is the same for both users… it seems to be set alreadu
[20:52] <luist> ill try sux
[20:54] <jrib> luist: you probably have to mess with xauth (and I'm guessing sux does that for you)
[20:56] <puddle> jrib, http://pastebin.com/9mGL1uqp
[20:56] <puddle> commented it kinda
[20:56] <VanZan> I installed Ubuntu 12.04 to a USB key with a program called YUMI. Is there any way I can download files to the USB key?
[20:57] <jrib> puddle: wait, why do you need the file to be world-writable?
[20:57] <puddle> because the cms will not show otherwise dunno why
[20:57] <puddle> on shared hosting works fine
[20:57] <VanZan> I need write access to the usb key.
[20:57] <puddle> on local it will not work
[20:57] <beandog> puddle: are you setting up yii?
[20:57] <wanksta> bekks, when am in windows there are softwares for which enable to connect the broadband modem and through the same can accepting incoming can and  reading  new msgs
[20:57] <puddle> well trying yea
[20:58] <puddle> beandog, yup but doesnt seem to work like i want it to
[20:58] <beandog> sec
[20:58] <nyxynyx> Hi I've a question installing php-fpm... I installed apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-fpm libapache2-mod-fastcgi, but apache2 gives an error saying /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi is not found
[20:58] <reed> anybody here tried to run 32bit java icedtea plugin on Firefox 64bit?
[20:58] <beandog> puddle: did you already run yiic install ?
[20:58] <bekks> wanksta: Well, I am not using windows for 1 years now.
[20:58] <bekks> 10 years even.
[20:58] <nyxynyx> and /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi is indeed missing
[20:58] <puddle> on windows i generated a test app weeks ago
[20:59] <nyxynyx> any ideas?
[20:59] <puddle> thats what im using here
[20:59] <beandog> nyxynyx: it's probably at /usr/bin/php-cgi
[20:59] <puddle> the problem is that if i copy to public html apache has problems with permissions
[21:00] <beandog> puddle: public_html in your home directory?
[21:00] <puddle> yup
[21:00] <beandog> puddle: can you put it somewhere else?
[21:00] <puddle> it works fine on single file php
[21:00] <beandog> puddle: I mean, can you configure it so you can put it somewhere else
[21:01] <puddle> erm id like to have it in my home to be honest
[21:01] <beandog> puddle: yii is really picky if the perms aren't right
[21:01] <VanZan> anybody? Help I need write access to a fat32 usb key!!! HELP!
[21:01] <puddle> weah i see but still
[21:01] <beandog> puddle: sec
[21:01] <nyxynyx> beandog: nope its not there... i did a locate php5-fcgi and noting
[21:01] <puddle> even apache wont show stuff if i dont set permission
[21:02] <beandog> puddle: are you running PHP as a module or a CGI binary
[21:02] <puddle> i want to be able to copy whatever i want to public_html and be able to see it in browser without being forced to set permissions every time
[21:02] <beandog> nyxynyx: which php-cgi
[21:02] <puddle> erm i installed lamp through tasksel
[21:02] <puddle> ive no idea
[21:02] <puddle> honestlyx
[21:02] <beandog> puddle: okay, no worries
[21:02] <zykotick9> reed: are you using a 32bit version of firefox?  why?
[21:02] <beandog> puddle: do you mean browse as in see a directory index or what?
[21:03] <nyxynyx> beandog: I am following the instructions here (http://www.howtoforge.com/using-php5-fpm-with-apache2-on-ubuntu-12.04-lts) and in step 5, there is this line Alias /php5-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi
[21:03] <siim> does html5 works good on ubuntu?
[21:03] <reed> zykotick9, need to use webex, doesn't support 64bit java
[21:03] <reed> zykotick9, using 64bit firefox
[21:03] <zykotick9> reed: well good luck.
[21:04] <beandog> puddle: pm?
[21:04] <puddle> well public_html is empty -> i copy the whole webapp into it -> apache gona report i dont have permission to access 6 -> i set permission but others get only read access (on subdirs aswell) -> yii reports that he has no write permission on runtime -> i set full acces for others (subdirs aswell) -> everything works fine
[21:05] <puddle> thats kinda all that happens
[21:05] <beandog> okay
[21:05] <beandog> so, looking at yii
[21:05] <beandog> certain directories need write-access from the webserver
[21:05] <beandog> puddle: so what you wanna do is this:
[21:05] <puddle> yup
[21:05] <beandog> chown -R www-data: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/{assets,protected/data,protected/runtime} where /var/www/localhost/htdocs is your webroot (in  your case, probably /home/foo/public_html/yii/whatever .... )
[21:06] <beandog> puddle: you don't need world writeable, just web server writable
[21:06] <puddle> ow
[21:06] <new2unity> hi guys, I have a small problem. I have a little Eee PC asus laptop.  So I installed kubuntu using synaptic package manager, it's worst! I just want the stable version of kubuntu with the start menu, where can I get this? remember this pc has no CD or DVD drive.
[21:06] <new2unity> it's has to be done via terminal or download
[21:07] <puddle> but is it possibble to set permission so i never have to again even if i copy some other app there or i have to do this every time?
[21:07] <bekks> puddle: No.
[21:08] <bekks> puddle: Just use a little script, or just develop your files directly in public_html.
[21:08] <puddle> well ty for the help anyways:P
[21:08] <puddle> thats the only thing i miss from unsecure windows:d
[21:08] <puddle> had no issues with things like that:p
[21:09] <puddle> btw if i set www-data as owner of the dir
[21:09] <new2unity> Did anybody see my post or am I screwed?
[21:09] <beandog> puddle: yah its possible
[21:09] <puddle> i wont be able to delete them until i set myself as owner again
[21:09] <beandog> puddle: you can set sticky group permissions
[21:09] <puddle> thats kinda complicated
[21:09] <CiscoNinja> hello i need assistance figuring out how to connect to windows terminal server using ubuntu 12 please
[21:09] <bekks> beandog: But not sticky world permissions.
[21:10] <puddle> whats a sticky permission? oO
[21:10] <puddle> sry im kinda noob in that department
[21:10] <bekks> puddle: Something you cant use in your case :)
[21:10] <CiscoNinja> remmina not working for me
[21:10] <puddle> hehe
[21:10] <beandog> puddle: sticky permissions means anything under that directory are going to retain same permissions
[21:10] <puddle> ows
[21:10] <puddle> and it cannot be done so it retains ww-data?
[21:11] <bekks> puddle: www-data writable is NOT world-writable
[21:11] <CiscoNinja> hello i need assistance figuring out how to connect to windows terminal server using ubuntu 12 please
[21:11] <puddle> i know
[21:11] <puddle> but i guess www-data writeable would be enough
[21:11] <rymate1234> CiscoNinja, good luck
[21:11] <puddle> IF i can write it aswell
[21:11] <puddle> but i guess thats the problem
[21:11] <bekks> puddle: Check it first :)
[21:12] <CiscoNinja> rymate1234, what do you mean? i can't do it ?
[21:12] <beandog> puddle: sorry, I'm in and out
[21:12] <puddle> beandog,  ty mate for helping me
[21:13] <beandog> puddle: IF you want everything NEW created under a certain directory to be writable by www-data, then do this: chown :www-data <directory>, then chmod g+s <directory>
[21:13] <beandog> puddle: and by everything I mean directories and files.  Also do chown 775 <directory> as well
[21:13] <beandog> puddle: derp, chmod 775 <directory>
[21:13] <puddle> :)
[21:14] <yekoms> my www-data dir isnt 775.
[21:15] <yekoms> its 755. owner:7 group:5 others:5
[21:15] <CiscoNinja> hello i need assistance figuring out how to connect to windows terminal server using ubuntu 12 please

[21:17] <beandog> nyxynyx: the binary is not there, it's probably at /usr/bin/php-cgi
[21:17] <beandog> $ which php-cgi
[21:17] <Atlantic777> new2unity: how to remove it? Did you consider just reinstalling the system?
[21:18] <wilee-nilee> !nounity

[21:28] <CiscoNinja> new2unity, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pendrivelinux.com%2F
[21:29] <Guest3279> hello,everybody!
[21:30] <Lasivian> ok, I can ping between ubuntu and windows, I could browse windows shares before my most recent ubuntu reboot, I have not applied any updates or made changes, i'm out of ideas :(
[21:31] <marl> Hola
[21:31] <Guest3279> how to use it?
[21:31] <marl> ¿Alguien me puede ayudar?
[21:31] <CiscoNinja> marl no habla english
[21:32] <Ex0deus> how to use what?
[21:32] <Ex0deus> Ubuntu?
[21:32] <Lasivian> hrr, ok, now i've got 2 ubuntu boxes, with no windows connectivity
[21:33] <Ex0deus> so you have 2 ubuntu boxes? and you have windows boxes? and the windows boxes are getting no internet connectivity?
[21:33] <Atlantic777> !spain | marl
[21:34] <TheLordOfTime> Lasivian, what's the main issue?  you have 2 ubuntu boxes with internet, but you have a windows machine that doesn't have connectivity?  or are you trying to connect the windows machine to the ubuntu machines and vice versa?
[21:34] <Jrix> Ubuntu will not even "see" my wireless network until I do Iwscan. Then suddenly it magically appears in the network manager list. And when I try to connect it tries, fails, tries, fails, nothing. Wtf? I connect to other networks fine, other computers connect to this network fine.
[21:35] <Ex0deus> sounds like a driver issue
[21:35] <Atlantic777> Jrix: try to change network fequency (standards, b/g/n)
[21:35] <TheLordOfTime> Jrix, change the network's wifi frequency/standard?  g is probably going to be most stable, b is old
[21:36] <Jrix> I'm unable to interact with the network router at all.
[21:36] <WeThePeople> how do i change ~# to ~$ ??
[21:36] <beandog> Ex0deus: I really hate wifi drivers.
[21:36] <Atlantic777> WeThePeople: ctrl + d
[21:36] <Ex0deus> could you do an lspci on the command line... and paste the line that has your network card here?
[21:38] <BluesKaj> TheLordOfTime, how goes the znc fix over at trekweb ?
[21:38] <Lasivian> TheLordOfTime: 2 ubuntu boxes, different versions, neither can browse to the "windows network" but they can ping the windows boxes, and the windows boxes can browse the shared directories on the ubuntu boxes
[21:38] <TheLordOfTime> BluesKaj, trekweb has a channel you know :/
[21:38] <WeThePeople> atlantic777, that just exits terminal
[21:38] <Ex0deus> Lasivian: do you have samba installed
[21:38] <Lasivian> i'm almost thinking this is windows screwing something up, but i'm not sure what
[21:39] <BluesKaj> TheLordOfTime, yeah ok , understood :)
[21:39] <Lasivian> Ex0deus: yes, these both previously were able to browse, nothing has been updated or changed since then
[21:39] <beandog> Lasivian: browsing network shares and pinging a box are two completely differen network aspects
[21:39] <Ex0deus> beandog: yeah wifi drivers can be tricky in linux
[21:39] <Lasivian> beandog: yes, i'm just throwing out info
[21:39] <beandog> oh okay
[21:39] <loneclock> if i want to boot ubuntu and android from a flash drive to i have to make a separate partition on the flash drive for each one?
[21:39] <beandog> Lasivian: personally I just use gigolo
[21:39] <Jrix> TheLordOfTime: It's connecting at G or N, based on its transfer rate limit.
[21:39] <Ex0deus> ok so everything was working? and its not now?
[21:40] <Lasivian> Ex0deus: right
[21:40] <Ex0deus> have you tried this on the command line? sudo service networking restart
[21:40] <tox2ik> Is the standard ubuntu desktop install-cd the same as the ubuntu livd-cd?
[21:40] <Ex0deus> or you could do ... /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:41] <Lasivian> the second one worked, broiwsing
[21:41] <TheLordOfTime> tox2ik, they're about the same.  the desktop iso can double as a livecd
[21:41] <TheLordOfTime> tox2ik, the end result for a basic installation, though, is the same.
[21:41] <Pawlos92> hey
[21:41] <TheLordOfTime> tox2ik, for installation purposes.
[21:41] <wilee-nilee> WeThePeople, I would wonder if you need to be in ~#
[21:41] <Lasivian> still times out, "did not receive a reply"
[21:41] <Lasivian> I see no reason to assume the ubuntu boxes are not trying to find the windows, it's like windows is not answering
[21:42] <WeThePeople> wilee-nilee, i am on BT5 atm
[21:42] <beandog> Lasivian: well it is possible they're not allowing sharing or they are firewalled.  How are you listing avialable shares?
[21:42] <Lasivian> but, I should get at least one windows box showing up, there are 6 on the network
[21:42] <wilee-nilee> WeThePeople, This is not the channel for that.
[21:42] <WeThePeople> wilee-nilee, still works the same
[21:42] <Lasivian> beandog: i'm just browsing in nautilus, clicking on "windows network"
[21:42] <wilee-nilee> WeThePeople, respect the rules this is ubuntu support, have a taste of ethics for just a moment.
[21:43] <beandog> Lasivian: I'd recommend trying gigolo to browse
[21:43] <beandog> Lasivian: but whatever.  they both should work
[21:43] <Ex0deus> gigolo is pretty nice :)
[21:43] <Lasivian> installing that now
[21:43] <wilee-nilee> and welcome to a lifetime of ignore
[21:43] <beandog> Ex0deus: agreed.  such a headache saver.
[21:43] <WeThePeople> no :)
[21:43] <Ex0deus> yeah i just started playing around with gigolo on my new server...
[21:43] <Lasivian> one of the ubuntu boxes is 12.04, the other is 10.10
[21:44] <TheLordOfTime> Lasivian, the 10.10 box is EOL...
[21:44] <tox2ik> TheLordOfTime: ok, thank you. Is it problematic to install a few packages to a ram-fs while booted with the desktop installation iso?
[21:44] <TheLordOfTime> !10.10 | Lasivian
[21:44] <Ex0deus> was originally not going to have a desktop env. but decided to run with xfce
[21:44] <TheLordOfTime> tox2ik, in a live environment?
[21:44] <TheLordOfTime> tox2ik, it won't save in the live environment, but it will install said package
[21:44] <Lasivian> gigolo worked
[21:44] <beandog> gigolo to the rescue again!
[21:45] <Ex0deus> good
[21:45] <TheLordOfTime> tox2ik, but, when you shut down and reboot any packages you had installed won't be there until you install them again
[21:45] <Lasivian> TheLordOfTime: yes, i'm waiting for 12.10 to upgrade it, i'm just using it as a test example.
[21:45] <stevr1it> hello, i have ubuntu 12.04 and whne i use skype 4 and the other person video starts the session crash and restart itself. what i can i do to solve this problem? any suggestion? I have deleted the folder.skype,  i have reinstalled skype,  i don't know more what to do.. thank you
[21:45] <Ex0deus> 12.10 server?
[21:45] <Lasivian> the idea that an ubuntu software error would affect both machines seems impossible
[21:45] <TheLordOfTime> Lasivian, there is no direct 10.10 -> 12.10 upgrade path...
[21:45] <wilee-nilee> !12.10
[21:45] <Ex0deus> i think ubuntu is on 14.04 now
[21:45] <TheLordOfTime> Lasivian, there's only an LTS -> LTS direct upgrade path.
[21:45] <Lasivian> TheLordOfTime: well, crap :)
[21:45] <TheLordOfTime> Ex0deus, nope.  12.04 is the latest release, 12.10 comes out soon.
[21:46] <Lasivian> hrrm, I thought *.10 were the LTS..
[21:46] <TheLordOfTime> no clue on an exact date, so if anyone asks, they end.
[21:46] <tox2ik> TheLordOfTime: thats fine, I just need to install something temporarily. To I need to configure apt-get or anything else to make this work?
[21:46] <Lasivian> perhaps, I was mistaken :)
[21:46] <TheLordOfTime> Lasivian, 10.04, 12.04, and if i'm right, 14.04 will be LTSes
[21:46] <Ex0deus> no the *.04's are the LTS releases
[21:46] <TheLordOfTime> !LTS
[21:46] <Lasivian> I see, guess I need to just change that machine to 12.04
[21:46] <beandog> 5 years on the desktop.  That's pretty bold.
[21:46] <TheLordOfTime> Ex0deus, not all *.04s are LTSes.
[21:47] <Lasivian> and i'm betting there is no upgrade path to do such a thing, heh
[21:47] <wilee-nilee> !eol
[21:47] <Ex0deus> back in awhile :)
[21:48] <TheLordOfTime> Ex0deus, generally, you can approximate by every 2 years.  i.e. 2 years after the last LTS (10.04 was April 2010, 12.04 is April 2012, so by approximation unless something changes, 14.04 is probably the next LTS)
[21:49] <Lasivian> is there any easy way to go from a .10 install to a .04?
[21:49] <wilee-nilee> Lasivian, look above at the ubotto comment on eol.
[21:49] <wilee-nilee> ubottu*
[21:50] <Lasivian> yeah, the EOL upgrade link stops at 9.10
[21:50] <jrib> Lasivian: and you really should specify complete versions ".10" and ".04" alone are vague
[21:50] <Lasivian> jrib: dammit, stop pointing out my flawed statements! :)
[21:51] <Lasivian> what should I do with 10.10, I can erase it, but i've made multiple edits
[21:51] <henry81> Hi! Need help getting wifi on toshiba laptop running Xubuntu12.04
[21:51] <TheLordOfTime> Lasivian, do me a favor please: don't fling around swear words such as 'damn' that often please.  thanks :)
[21:51] <TheLordOfTime> Lasivian, you can upgrade to 11.04 directly
[21:51] <TheLordOfTime> that's still technically supported until Q releases
[21:51] <TheLordOfTime> Lasivian, then from there, upgrade to 11.10
[21:51] <TheLordOfTime> which is actually still supported
[21:51] <tox2ik> TheLordOfTime: thank you for the answer, im off!
[21:51] <TheLordOfTime> and if you want, from there to 12.04.
[21:51] <TheLordOfTime> which is  an LTS
[21:52] <TheLordOfTime> ... and the current Ubuntu release :)
[21:52] <Lasivian> so, 3 upgrades
[21:52] <Lasivian> that sounds, painful, heh
[21:52] <wilee-nilee> Lasivian, Try reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades  the upgrade will have to be a eol upgrade TheLordOfTime
[21:52] <TheLordOfTime> wilee-nilee, or he can back up his data and clean install 12.04
[21:52] <TheLordOfTime> :p0
[21:52] <TheLordOfTime> :P *
[21:53] <wilee-nilee> TheLordOfTime, That is not the issue you addressed, you said a direct upgrade to 11.04 that needs to be a eol.
[21:53] <TheLordOfTime> wilee-nilee, did 11.04 finally EOL?
[21:53] <henry81> Could someone help me get wifi working on my laptop w ubuntu 12.04
[21:53] <TheLordOfTime> last i checked with the release team, they hadnt yet vaped those repos
[21:54] <wilee-nilee> TheLordOfTime, 10.10 is it has to be a eol upgrade.
[21:54] <TheLordOfTime> wilee-nilee, ah.  wait, you can't go from EOL -> nonEOL yet?
[21:54] <TheLordOfTime> without following a strange procedure?
[21:55] <dr_willis> You should be able to update one thats EOL. but youmay need to tweak your sources.list
[21:56] <dr_willis> once one goes EOL you have to change the sources.list to point to those archive servers i belive to do any updates..
[21:56] <wilee-nilee> TheLordOfTime, All eols have to be upgraded with a eol upgrade, 11.04 is eol in oct as well.
[21:56] <wilee-nilee> dr_willis, +1
[21:56] <dr_willis> I just do clean installs. ;)
[21:57] <wilee-nilee> me to
[21:57] <dr_willis> Lets me remove all teh cruft i test out from hanging in this channel all day long
[21:57] <wilee-nilee> dr_willis, That is the burden you carry as a such a important help. ;)
[21:58] <wilee-nilee> an*
[21:59] <rettaw> Could someone help me get an install started on an ASUS P8P67 motherboard?
[22:00] <rettaw> *please
[22:00] <markus___> nope
[22:00]  * jagginess thinks asus sounds like a*us
[22:00] <wilee-nilee> rettaw, You need to format your problem in the form of a question. ;)
[22:01] <dr_willis> burn cd.. boot cd... follow installer directions....
[22:01] <rettaw> wilee-nilee: I've made an image with unebootin of 12.04_64_Live, it doesn't work properly
[22:01] <rettaw> as in, if I try to boot from it it draws noise to my screen!
[22:02] <wilee-nilee> rettaw, bummer, but to the channel, and with details.
[22:02] <dr_willis> rettaw:  draws noise.... means what?   youmean the graphics/video are all garbled?
[22:02] <rettaw> dr_willis:  yes
[22:02] <dr_willis> rettaw:  you do see the little man=keyboard logo when it first boots?
[22:02] <rettaw> I've also found another boot manager, it seems to just stall (it's a more terminal based one, nucurses?)
[22:02] <dr_willis> at the bottom of one of the very first screens)
[22:03] <rettaw> no, I get so far as to choose if I want to launch the installer
[22:03] <dr_willis> another boot manager? Not sure what you mean. the live-usb-setups tend to use syslinux
[22:03] <rettaw> then when I choose something like check memmory I get garbled graphics
[22:03] <fivre> I've added a PPA with a new version of something, but running update and dist-upgrade per https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware doesn't update the package
[22:04] <TheLordOfTime> fivre, did you actually push to the PPA?
[22:04] <TheLordOfTime> i.e. did you put your package there?
[22:04] <fivre> it's someone else's
[22:04] <wilee-nilee> fivre, Did you run a update first?
[22:04] <TheLordOfTime> fivre, which PPA?
[22:04] <TheLordOfTime> and did you run an update :P
[22:04] <fivre> https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/redmine
[22:04] <TheLordOfTime> also, which ubuntu :p
[22:04] <fivre> yep, update and dist-updgrade, precise
[22:04] <dr_willis> rettaw:  whats your video chipset anyway?
[22:05] <wilee-nilee> fivre, Did you look close at the MYSTERY package to see that it was there for your distro?
[22:05] <rettaw> dr_willis: Geforce GTX 560 Ti
[22:06] <TheLordOfTime> wilee-nilee, if he's not on Precise, he's not getting anything except 404s for that PPA
[22:06] <dr_willis> rettaw:  so You boot the usb, what does it do exactly...
[22:07] <rettaw> dr_willis: well, first of all I have two options for how to boot given to me by the motherboard, one it calls USB, and the other UEFI: USB
[22:07] <rettaw> choosing on or the other gives different results initially
[22:08] <rettaw> (eventually I give up and reboot whatever I choose though)
[22:08] <rettaw> *regardless of
[22:09] <rettaw> dr_willis: if I choose UEFI: USB I get to a GRUB screen
[22:09] <rettaw> where I can choose between Trying, Installing, or Check disk
[22:10] <rettaw> is there a terminal based installer I can get to from here?
[22:10] <dr_willis> rettaw:  the alterntive installer cd has a text based installer..
[22:10] <zykotick9> rettaw: for terminal install, use alternate or mini
[22:10] <dr_willis> rettaw:  or you can try to enable the NOMODESET  option and the graphics may work
[22:11] <dr_willis> !nomodeset > rettaw
[22:16] <rettaw> dr_willis: if I remove the "splash" from boot options, will that show me more debug info, or do I need to remove "quiet" or both to get that?
[22:17] <beandog> rettaw: take both out
[22:17] <beandog> plus any vga options
[22:17] <dr_willis> rettaw:  i tend to use 'noquiet nosplash nofb nomodeset'  Im not sure if all are needed these days. I havent needed touse nomodeset in some time
[22:17] <beandog> or that.
[22:17] <dr_willis> I think theres also some verbose option. :)
[22:18] <dr_willis> 'noquiet nosplash nofb nomodeset justworkyousillything makemeasamwich'
[22:18] <dr_willis> ;P
[22:19] <wilee-nilee> roastbeef please
[22:20] <rettaw> dr_willis: how do I set the cheese to be used for the samwich?
[22:21] <rettaw> bah! it's launching some graphics anyway
[22:21] <wadiw> e vreun roman p'acilea
[22:21] <wadiw> ?

[22:22] <Dataholic> I have installed ubuntu mini iso 12.04 via internet, installed only gnone-shell and vmware view client 1.6.  is it possible i can make a bootable live cd on this vmware image?
[22:22] <{AL}ALEXIS> to many people here lol
[22:23] <wilee-nilee> Dataholic, remastersys
[22:23] <acalbaza> hope this is an easy one... i have a purple background in my terminal, but grep outputs the file path on matches in purple, how can i modify grep's color scheme to fit my terminal... basically, i cant see the file path now.
[22:23] <wilee-nilee> Dataholic, YOU are running on the vm graphics though.
[22:24] <bobweaver> acalbaza,  check out ~/.bashrc  --color-auto
[22:24] <dr_willis> rettaw:  i recall some options to specifically disable the nouveau drivers.. but ive never needed them
[22:24] <bobweaver> acalbaza,  there is a post on the forums google"show us your bashrc ubuntuforums "
[22:24] <dr_willis> bash tricks for $100 alex.. ;)
[22:25] <rettaw> dr_willis: there is a line saying "set gfxpayload=keep" that looks a bit suspicious to me. Anyway, I'll try a noquiet nosplash and see if the same thing happens
[22:26] <dr_willis> acalbaza:  or 'unalias grep' to remove the 'grep --color-auto' alias
[22:26] <rettaw> dr_willis: it did
[22:27] <SnapSnap> I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird as my default mail client on 12.04. However, it will only inform me of new messages if it's running. Is there a way to run it in the background, like Gwibber, so that it informs me of new messages without manually starting it every time I reboot?
[22:27] <bobweaver> acalbaza,  try this on for size  ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1273981/
[22:27] <dr_willis> bbl
[22:27] <bobweaver> :)
[22:28] <jagginess> SnapSnap, i think there's plugins for that.. (it may have to be an Thunderbird .xpi add-on)-- but there's also separate email message plugins for non-thunderbird just for those meta tools that check just if there's new messages(without actually downloading the full message body)
[22:29] <bobweaver> you will have too run sed -i 's|iceni60|$USER|g' ~/.yourbashrc     you might also need some scripts
[22:30] <bobweaver> or just take out all the lines that are scripts or put a # in front of the line too comment out
[22:31] <acalbaza> hmm, i still want to have color in my grep.. just not purple for the path
[22:32] <SnapSnap> jagginess, I'll check it out. Any idea what the name is?
[22:32] <bobweaver> acalbaza,  then set up your colors in bashrc
[22:32] <diverdude> i have a script chatserver.js which i need to run on startup via node.js in my ubuntu machine. it listens to port 8002. how can i do that?
[22:33] <bobweaver> diverdude,  make into a service
[22:33] <bobweaver>  /etc/init.d/
[22:33] <rds_> hai guys anybody know how find and remove white space in gedit
[22:34] <bobweaver> diverdude,  that why you can also stop ans start whenever you like
[22:34] <wadiw> hi all
[22:34] <bobweaver> rds_, there is a plugin for that go to EDIT-->pref--> plugins
[22:35] <bobweaver> rds_,  you could also use sed on the file
[22:35] <rds_> bobweaver, ok
[22:35] <wadiw> anybody know how to view the source cod for an executable ?
[22:35] <diverdude> bobweaver: how is that done?
[22:35] <bobweaver> rds_,  http://sed.sourceforge.net/sed1line.txt
[22:35] <snoup> ihihihi
[22:35] <Cong> rds, it is can be done like this cat $file | sed s/\s//g > $file
[22:35] <bobweaver> !service | diverdude
[22:35] <bobweaver> barhh
[22:35] <rds_> bobweaver, thank u buddy
[22:36] <snoup> ya des francais ici
[22:36] <bobweaver> !fr
[22:36] <snoup> ok tky
[22:36] <acalbaza> i'm fine with the color grep uses for matches... if i set GREP_COLOR to something else, it only affects the match, no?  I'm interested in changing the color of the PATH not the match.
[22:37] <bobweaver> acalbaza,  if you set the color as a var then you can call as you like
[22:37] <bobweaver> diverdude,  take a look at this  http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/1924/create-services-in-linux-start-up-in-linux
[22:38] <jcrza> It seems like I can't use windows 8 and ubuntu together.. is there a way around this?
[22:38] <bobweaver> diverdude,  read the UPSTART part
[22:39] <bobweaver> but both will wor
[22:39] <bobweaver> work *  aka doing that too much as of the late
[22:39] <jcrza> I have them on different drives.. ubuntu won't boot as long as the windows 8-toting drive has its sata cable attached
[22:40] <bobweaver> jcrza,  which is grub installed too ?
[22:40] <jcrza> I was under the impression it was on the ubuntu drive, but I don't even know anymore. Windows appears to have its own startup manager now as well
[22:40] <jcrza> first time I"ve tried to use my ubuntu partition since installing 8.. seems it won't work.
[22:41] <Phoenixz> Im on a machine with ubuntu 10.10, its used -more or less- as a server. I can not upgrade OS right now. I am trying to install repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa with add-apt-repository, but it gives me gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect: Connection timed out.. Anybody who might know how to fix this?
[22:41] <bobweaver> ahh cool jcrza  are you on the ubuntu drive ?
[22:41] <jcrza> no :(
[22:41] <bobweaver> Ubuntu 10.10 is not supported here
[22:41] <jcrza> stupid windows 8 can't compile anything, even with mingw I get gcc errors when trying to install some python module
[22:42] <jcrza> I'm gonna hve to nuke it and go back to main-booting ubuntu
[22:42] <bobweaver> jcrza,  that is windows
[22:42] <jcrza> I wish they'd coexist
[22:42] <bobweaver> no you dont
[22:42] <jcrza> Oh?
[22:42] <bobweaver> jcrza,  got a live cd ?
[22:42] <jcrza> No but I can make one
[22:42] <bobweaver> get too it
[22:43] <bobweaver> !lifecycle | Phoenixz
[22:43] <bobweaver> barghh
[22:43] <acalbaza> got it... the missing bit for me was exporting GREP_COLORS and using the right key.  export GREP_COLORS=fn... works for me, thanks for putting me on the right track.
[22:44] <bobweaver> np acalbaza  you can always run       sources ~.bashrc
[22:44] <Cong> You're one of a kind. Windows 8 is not official released yet.
[22:44] <acalbaza> bobweaver: yep
[22:44] <bobweaver> errr typo no s just source
[22:44] <IdleOne> bobweaver: it's !eol
[22:44] <bobweaver> thanks IdleOne
[22:45] <bobweaver> !eol | Phoniexz
[22:46] <jcrza> Yeah, windows 8 preview is great though. I'm really a fan of the changes
[22:46]  * bobweaver high fives IdleOne
[22:46] <jcrza> I just miss my 'buntu
[22:46] <jcrza> classic microsoft to destroy everything else installed on the system
[22:46] <bobweaver> jcrza,  we miss you on the Ubuntu how the live cd going ?
[22:46] <jcrza> just got done downloading the iso, making it now
[22:47] <bobweaver> jcrza,  we are going to need for you too boot the live cd and sign into IRC then you will pastebin some stuff . How much ram you got ?
[22:47] <jcrza> 8gb
[22:48] <Sven_Oostenbrink> Im on a machine with ubuntu 10.10, its used -more or less- as a server. I can not upgrade OS right now. I am trying to install repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa with add-apt-repository, but it gives me gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect: Connection timed out.. Anybody who might know how to fix this?
[22:48] <bobweaver> then you are fine
[22:48] <bobweaver> !eol | Sven_Oostenbrink,
[22:48] <Cong> 10.04 still has life.
[22:49] <bobweaver> in other word phonixz or Sven_Oostenbrink  you need to upgrade your version 10;10 is not supported at all
[22:49] <bobweaver> correct Cong , it is LTS/long term support
[22:50] <bobweaver> but even that is up v.soon
[22:50] <bobweaver> unless we are talking servers
[22:53] <Cong> When that happens in the next April I'm switching to 12.04 or maybe just something else.
[22:54] <MonkeyDust> Sven_Oostenbrink  both ppa's and 10.10 are not supported here
[22:54] <jcrza> Okay, my live cd is done, I'll be back windows 8 permitting
[22:55] <ubuntu-studio> hello all, I'm trying to install openjdk 7 on 64 bit ubuntu and it isn't working
[22:55] <ubuntu-studio> it keeps saying that dependencies cannot be resolved

[22:56] <ubuntu-studio> MonkeyDust: I'm not actually in ubuntu studio
[22:56] <jcrza> Yay, I'm alive

[22:57] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-studio  did you read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Oracle_Java_7
[22:57] <bobweaver> ubuntu-studio, what is the output of apt-cache policy openjdk-7-jdk ?
[22:58] <Sven_Oostenbrink> Okay.. I tried :) Thanks all anyway!
[22:58] <jcrza> I forget the username of whoever said they'd help me once I booted my livecd, but here I am.
[22:58] <jcrza> I assume I need to install grub on my linux drive from here?
[22:58] <bobweaver> jcrza,  please install pastebinit    sudo apt-get install pastebintit and tell us when done
[22:59] <bobweaver> err typo
[22:59] <bobweaver> jcrza, sudo apt-get install pastebinit

[22:59] <bobweaver> thanks ubuntu-studio
