[12:28] <darrenlooby> When mounting via fstabs - is there something I need to restart?
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> Ca11um:  the comments on the page suggest that the kernel is allready doing the exact same thing. except for the 'fake' power reports. :)
[12:28] <jrib> darrenlooby: no/be more specific
[12:29] <MonkeyDust> darrenlooby  after you modified fstab, type /sudo mount -a
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> darrenlooby:  edit the fstab. sudo mount -a, or mount /media/whatever
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> 'AFAIR Granola uses powernowd (and thus cpufreq) to reduce the frequency of the CPU. So in the best case it does exactly what Linux does already'
[12:29] <darrenlooby> Thanks MonkeyDust and Dr_Willis
[12:30] <darrenlooby> jrib, thanks. Got the answer I was looking for, despite being a little too vague.
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> !fstab
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: find an alternative is all I can suggest
[12:31] <OpenTokix> Hello, how  does the 12.04 LTS work with upgrades. Will the upgrade liks kernel version? or just patch it? How about software, will it get new version, or patch them for feature, or just patch for security?
[12:33] <aykoola> hi, me again. I'm planning on wiping my entire disk with dban (someone said it might work). how can i format my usb drive and will dban work using netbootin? + i would like to know if bios and that stuff stays intact on my computer? thank you!
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> aykoola:  why are you doing this wipeing
[12:33] <phanindraramesh> How can I make all letters in a file capital??
[12:33] <jrib> phanindraramesh: you can use tr
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh:  awk/sed/tr :)
[12:33] <edgy> phanindraramesh: tr
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> In a FILE or in a Files NAME?
[12:34] <aykoola> someone told me that because everything failed (every type of ubu install + one opensuse install) that i should try it, and then try to install the system...
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> aykoola:  i dont follow that logic.. but a simple 'dd' the drive to zero it out.. and trying to reparition. would most likely be just as good...
[12:35] <aykoola> what's dd? (sorry, not trying to troll, really dont know)
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
[12:35] <darrenlooby> I'm getting a timeout error when mounting network folders... after running the command "sudo mount -a". Where should I look for error logs regarding this?
[12:35] <MonkeyDust> aykoola  or use gparted to delete / re-create the partition(s)
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> a command to do fancy 'data dumping' ;)
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> im not sure if gparted has a 'zero the drive' option
[12:36] <aykoola> so i just enter dd into the terminal?
[12:36] <wollowizard> how can I see how many threads running on my system? I'm interested in threads created by one or two processes
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: cd $HOME; wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/installer.bash; chmod +x ./installer.bash; sudo ./installer.bash
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> wollowizard: pstree    should do it
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> aykoola:  read the wiki page.. a typo with dd can = erased wrong hard drive
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> aykoola:  example ussage -> From the wiki page      dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M
[12:37] <zykotick9> wollowizard: in might also want to check out htop (if you want realtime viewing)
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> aykoola:  just to be extra safe.. id unhook any hard drives with data you want to keep. :)
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: I just used dropbox to make wget a bit easier :)
[12:39] <aykoola> Dr_Willis - thanks - i don't need any data, and a couple of documents are already stored on a dvd.
[12:39] <aykoola> Dr_Willis how do i format my usb key? there's nothing there on right click :(
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> aykoola: use gparted
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> aykoola:  you partion, then format the paritions...
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> gparted can do all that
[12:40] <aykoola> ok guys
[12:40] <aykoola> thank you all!
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: any better?
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> isnt dd 'dataset definition' ?
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> The name dd is an allusion to DD found in IBM JCL, and the command's syntax is meant to be reminiscent of it;[4] in JCL, "DD" stands for Data Description.[5]
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: it can be 'data destroyer' if you get it wrong :)
[12:44] <SajjaD> ActionParsnip: me again. the mic don't work yet
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> data dump  seems more generic :)
[12:46] <SajjaD> my mic don't work even when i put it in 100 in alsamixer from terminal?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> SajjaD: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[12:47] <zykotick9> SajjaD: are you using F4 to get to Capture in alsamixer?
[12:47] <SajjaD> yes
[12:48] <duur> welp
[12:49] <SajjaD> ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=765af6a9abc07755c1142f3484441ce7e1266120
[12:49] <OpenTokix> I will try my question again: How  does the 12.04 LTS work with upgrades. Will the upgrade liks kernel version? or just patch it? How about software, will it get new version, or patch them for feature, or just patch for security?
[12:50] <zykotick9> SajjaD: you don't happen to be a EEE1005 and the internal mic by chance?
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> OpenTokix:  ubuntu basically does 'security and major bug fixs' in its upgrades.
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> SajjaD: you have no als lib version..
[12:50] <OpenTokix> Dr_Willis: So during the LTS five year life, there will be no version upgrades for packages?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: gigabyte M52S-S3P
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> OpenTokix:  normally they dont jump to the next version of an app or kernel except in some cases
[12:51] <SajjaD> zykotick9: ididn't get your q
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> OpenTokix:  you got it. thers some exceptions. theres a url/factoid on it.
[12:51] <dimor> i've recently installed 12.04 and i'm having problems connecting to l2tp/ipsec vpn, i get "Maximum retries exceeded for tunnel X.  Closing." messages, and every once in a dozen times i manage to actually connect the vpn. is anyone familiar with such behaviour?
[12:51] <OpenTokix> Dr_Willis: do you have that url?
[12:51] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: thanks.  i have a crazy set left to 90 and right to 10 - in order to get my mic on my eee working (very weird).
[12:51] <hippiehacker> where are tasks defined as the Packages.gz is built?: curl http://ftp.utexas.edu/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | zgrep Task:

[12:56] <unixabg_> Greetings, is anyone build live ubuntu images with live-build?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> seems the bug where X starts sucking down lots of CPU is still affecting m,e. ;(
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> jumping from 10 to 50% ussage
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: in all desktops?
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  affected every desktop and window manager.. even seems to affect lightdm
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: hmm, could try switching to gdm to test
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> if i restart the X server it goes back down.  to normal 0-3%  just idling on irc.
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> it did it with jwm, lubuntum and openbox also.
[12:58] <thebrasse> what is the name of the audio settings dialog executable?
[12:58] <Naemdar> Trying to make a xbox 360 controller work with unbuntu is there software that allows that?
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> htop shows  /usr/bin/X sucking down the cpu.
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> thebrasse: could use gnome-alsamixer
[12:59] <edgy> sirs, I have precise dual boot with windows and now wants to install quantal alongside. I will create an lv_root, lv_home and then boot from the liveCD and choose the / and /home to point to the previouse volumes, is that OK?
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> edgy: quantal is supported in #ubuntu+1
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> is quantal even in a useable state? :)
[12:59] <edgy> ActionParsnip: my question is not about quantal. it's about installing two ubuntus together
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> edgy: you can share swap but not sure about home asthe settings may clash and cause issues
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> brb
[13:00] <JohnDDD> hello people, i have screwed my fstab and in recovery mode it is read only. How can I correct my fstab in writeable mode?
[13:00] <deepspeed> I have a phone that shows up with lsusb, but not with fdisk-l.
[13:00] <Ormie> Any alternatives to granola in GUI?
[13:00] <deepspeed> How do I mount it?
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> edgy: you could make another home and symlink the casual userdata like images, but keep the config folders separate
[13:00] <edgy> ActionParsnip: my main concern now is the grub boot loader and /boot
[13:00] <edgy> ActionParsnip: would grub recognize the old linux and windows and add an entry?
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> Ormie:  there are other cpu power settings tools/indicator applets.  askubuntu.com had a list of indicator applets. I think i got it bookmarked at  http:/delicious.com/dr_willis
[13:01] <edgy> ActionParsnip: do I need to create a /boot or is it ok to have it in /
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> brb
[13:02] <Ormie> Anyone else?
[13:02] <Ormie> Any alternatives to granola in GUI?
[13:02] <thebrasse> actionparsnip: hmm.. that one would have the same features as alsmixer i guess? i want to select audio output device and alsamixer failed to do that correctly.
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> check out the cpu/power setting indicator applets?
[13:03] <Ormie> huh
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> Ormie:  there are other cpu power settings tools/indicator applets.  askubuntu.com had a list of indicator applets. I think i got it bookmarked at  http:/delicious.com/dr_willis
[13:03] <sacarlson> JohnDDD: I"m not sure how bad your fstab or system is I guess you can boot a live usb or cd and correct the file you modified
[13:03] <thebrasse> i have changed window manager and now lots of stuff has just stopped working.
[13:03] <Ormie> ok
[13:03] <Ormie> Can't find it
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> thebrasse  not every wm supports every functionality, i guess
[13:04] <thebrasse> actionparsnip: i have been able to select my usb headphones as output before i changed the window manager.
[13:05] <sacarlson> JohnDDD: or try this first http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/1288/remount-root-in-read-write-mode.
[13:05] <thebrasse> actionparsnip: i was hoping that i would be able to select the headphones as output again if i could just get the audio display settings dialog running again..
[13:05] <Ormie> Dr_Willis, I can't find anything like "CPU Usage"
[13:05] <thebrasse> monkeydust: yes, i guess so. my compose key stopped working, for example..
[13:06] <JohnDDD> sacarlson: thank you for reply, it is not bad, I remember what went wrong. will try, thank you
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> edgy: should do as far as I know, my grub skills are basic
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> Ormie:  righ there on first page of the indicator-applet list at askubuntu.com   http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/what-application-indicators-are-available
[13:08] <Naphatul> how do i make ubuntu search through the mounted partitions?
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> !info cpulimit| Ormie
[13:08] <Ca11um> Is there no simple way to delete all files and folders in a directory?
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> !info cpulimit | Ormie
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Naphatul: using what app?
[13:08] <Ca11um> Without loads of rmdirs and rms
[13:08] <Naphatul> ActionParsnip, the unity lens
[13:08] <Ormie> hm...
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> Ca11um:  rm -rf  is rather simple....
[13:08] <edgy> ActionParsnip: and no need to create a non-lvm /boot?
[13:08] <Ormie> MonkeyDust, Is it GUI?
[13:09] <Ca11um> Thanks Dr_Willis
[13:09] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  havent tried it
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: rm -r /top/most/folder
[13:09] <sacarlson> Ca11um: rm -r /path/to/dir
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> Ca11um:  bash basics. ;)
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> edgy: ive not used lvm
[13:09] <edgy> ActionParsnip: ok thanks, I will try
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> Naphatul: not used that to be honest. I use find and locate to search
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> Naphatul: sudo updatedb; localte nameofthing
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> without the spelling mistake, obviously
[13:10] <davidcalle> ActionParsnip, afaik updatedb doesn't go through mounted disks.
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> depends on where they are mounted to. :)
[13:11] <dimor> i've recently installed 12.04 and i'm having problems connecting to l2tp/ipsec (openswan) vpn, i get "Maximum retries exceeded for tunnel X.  Closing." messages, and every once in a dozen times i manage to actually connect the vpn. is anyone familiar with such behaviour?
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> you can use custome databases for locate to scan just a mounted 'data drive' for example.
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> davidcalle: really, maybe its set in a config file..
[13:11] <davidcalle> ActionParsnip, probably, yes
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> locate by default does not index stff from /media/
[13:11] <Ormie> MonkeyDust, CPU limit is a good program, No GUI, though. :( actually I am making a similar software to that! That is the key to my idea. thanks.
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> davidcalle: guess it makes it faster for if you mount large network shares ;)
[13:12] <ksbalaji> What is this in my places dropdown menu?(I am not able to see the dropdown menu in applications!) assertion `priv->root != NULL
[13:12] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  if you're skilled enough, make the gui app, make a ppa of it and hope someone picks it up
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> ksbalaji: are you the owner of ~/Dropbox and below and are you the owner of ~/.dropbox
[13:13] <davidcalle> Naphatul, lenses are on your disk only, but... regarding the Videos lens, it's an issue I'm aware of and will try to solve it in 12.04.1.
[13:14]  * Dr_Willis wonders whats wrong with some of the apps at -> http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/what-application-indicators-are-available
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> https://launchpad.net/indicator-cpufreq
[13:14] <Ormie> Dr_Willis, I am checking on it
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> Indicator applet for displaying and changing CPU frequency on-the-fly. It provides the same functionality as the Gnome CPU frequency applet, but doesn't require Gnome panel and works under Unity.
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> i mentioned it earlier. :) theres several others.
[13:14] <ksbalaji> ActionParsnip, I own the PC!
[13:15] <Spider-Pork> Hi. I have a problem with cryptsetup. I'm trying to crypt an external USB disk with cryptsetup 1.4.3 on my kubuntu 11.04. The problem is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1028517/ the kernel is 2.6.38-15-generic-pae
[13:15] <Spider-Pork>  Any idea? Thank you
[13:16] <Ca11um> Would this work exactly the same for Ubuntu? http://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Building_MTASA_Server_on_GNU_Linux#Running_on_a_64_bit_Linux
[13:16] <Ca11um> I did it, as it says, but I still get the error as described
[13:16] <MonkeyDust> Dr_Willis  offtopic discussion: that's why I said earlier: Canonical should focus on apps, not on a shiny fancy interface
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> ksbalaji: there are several accounts on the system, so the fact that you physically own the system doesn't mean your username owns the data
[13:16] <Ormie> MonkeyDust, I can make a GUI but I have problem with using the grid layout in glade and having problem with running every and any GUI program from python
[13:16] <dewey|on> hey, anyone knows where i can find the smbldap-config mentioned in the first reply? https://bugs.launchpad.net/serverguide/+bug/1008019
[13:17] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  the hardships of a developer ;)
[13:17] <Ormie> ...
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> ksbalaji: it's good to run:  sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME      to make sure :)
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> Ormie:  ive seen 'example/generic' indictor applet code on some sites. :) who needs a fancy gui.
[13:20] <Spider-Pork> Ehm, i can't crypt my disk
[13:20] <JohnDDD> sacarlson: thank you, but I cannot remount, i got "not mounted or bad option"
[13:21] <Naphatul> so there is no way to make lenses search other partitions? i got 2 other 1 with windows installed and the other with just data
[13:21] <Ormie> Is it ok for canonical If I tweak or deeply configure ubuntu to the desired state that a user wants. I am making a program named "Ubuntu Tools"
[13:21] <sacarlson> JohnDDD: I guess you will have to live boot
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> Ormie:  id come up with a better name. :) thats too generic
[13:21] <Ormie> Dr_Willis, What would be a good name?
[13:22] <JohnDDD> sacarlson: thank you, will try it, but i don't have usb key, so i was looking for other options, if there are any
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> Ormie:  YetAnotherUbuntuTweakingTool
[13:22] <LjL> Ormie: to simplify, you can mostly do what you want with Ubuntu as long as you release the sources when you release binaries, but there can be issues with names including "Ubuntu" because of trademarks, so you may want to investigate different names
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> YAUTT
[13:22] <JohnDDD> sacarlson: the only i had i lost somewhere :(
[13:22] <deffrag> Whenever i put my laptop to sleep and the next time it starts it never connects again, i hav to restart the hole system..again. Is there any other better way?
[13:22] <Ormie> Dr_Willis, I can have this on: print("Created by: Suttiwit Sukpinit and people in #ubuntu.")
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> Do we really need another ubuntu tweaking tool? :) i can name 3 i belive...
[13:23] <Naphatul> oh and how can i disable front panel jack detection?
[13:24] <sirriffsalot> Hey! My entire home directory is read-only, creating lots of problems obviously.. is there a way to fix this?
[13:24] <Ormie> Yes
[13:24] <Ormie> sirriffsalot, Not talking to you, though.
[13:24] <Ormie> Dr_Willis, yeah
[13:24] <LjL> sirriffsalot: is it on a separate partition?
[13:24] <sirriffsalot> Ormie: what did I ever do to you? o.O
[13:25] <sirriffsalot> LjL: nono, it's in the local partition
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: is it on it's own partition?
[13:25] <sirriffsalot> Yes
[13:25] <ksbalaji> ActionParsnip, I tried your suggestion and this is the result: balaji@balaji-desktop:~$  sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME[sudo] password for balaji: chown: cannot access `/home/balaji/.gvfs': Permission denied balaji@balaji-desktop:~$  :(
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: boot to liveCD and fsck the partition
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> Toying with gnome-shell, the way you can get extensions for it via the web browser and use https://extensions.gnome.org/local/    is very.. nifty
[13:26] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: just run fsck in the terminal with sudo and that's it?
[13:26] <Ormie> sirriffsalot, Um... You asked a yes-no question. and I happen to say "Yes" to another person.
[13:26] <sirriffsalot> Ormie: oh lol, sorry:)
[13:27] <Spider-Pork> anyone know why cryptsetup return that error?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> !fsck | sirriffsalot
[13:27] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: hmm, ok
[13:28] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: to add some additional information, cause I might be wrong, if I run virtualbox (not as root) it says "Error opening file for reading: Permission denied"
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: are you in the vboxusers group (I think it's that)
[13:29] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: How do I check?
[13:29] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: if I run it as sudo it works fine, so I suppose it's something to do with filepermissions
[13:30] <sirriffsalot> But I don't want to keep running everything as root..
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: don't run GUI apps with sudo, you will wreck file ownerships
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: might be why you are getting the issue
[13:30] <dupmail> If any knowledgeable person can hive me a hand, i just need to understand the linux directory structure. I
[13:30] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: but I got the issue before I did that...
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: if you run:  groups     you will see what groups you are the member of
[13:31] <dupmail> I'm trying to get my netbook to boot off ssd, but have the majority of the file structure on a SD card.
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: you run GUI apps with gksudo :)
[13:31] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: sirriffsalot adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[13:31] <davidcalle> Naphatul, what you can try, is to fiddle with updatedb.conf ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/60202/updatedb-locate-command-problem-files-from-external-hard-drive-are-no-longer ) It should help with the files lens. The videos lens will also require you to put a symlink of the drive/folder where your videos are, in the ~/Videos folder.
[13:31] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: ah
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: there you go, not in the group, let me get the command
[13:31] <dupmail> What is required on the ssd in order to boot? i presume /boot ...and what else?
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $USER

[13:34] <benhelps> Hey all. Trying to install 12.04 server with scant luck. Posts tend to hint it's buggy and needs a retro install via CDROM, or via first installing 12.04 desktop to generate the usb installer. Any word on whether 12.10 will fix this?
[13:34] <geirha> and it does the "right" things when creating users
[13:34] <MonkeyDust> impmaster  not all users are at their desks
[13:35] <benhelps> Or how many versions back I need to go for it to work?
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> geirha: usermod makes a world of sense imho
[13:37] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: Error opening file for reading: Permission denied still... :/
[13:37] <benhelps> (Tried multiple usb sticks - all fail. Tried other distros with said usb sticks - they work and install on the machine in question. Tried regetting 12.04 few times - no diff)
[13:37] <sirriffsalot> The program runs, but I just don't like seeing error messages:P
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: i'd ask in #vbox
[13:37] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: cheers:)
[13:38] <Naphatul> whats the shortcut for changing keyboard input languages (like alt+shift in windows) ?
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> Naphatul: eI believe you can set it in the keyboard prefs
[13:39] <dupmail> MonkeyDust: in a nutshell, my netbook cant boot off of the memory card, and the ssd is increadibly slow. So what i'm looking for is to know what (minimum) must be on the ssd so that grub can load sufficiently and then access the rest of the system files from the memory card (SDHC card)...So pretty much having everything on the memory, what do i have to put on the SSD, I presume /boot, do i have to have anything else? I tried it once befo
[13:40] <Naphatul> ActionParsnip, i can't find it it keyboard shortcuts
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> dupmail: there is ubuntu-minimal which install kernel + drivers + boot loader + simple packaging tools and some basic tools
[13:40] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: every time I start a terminal now I see above the usual line the following: "groups: cannot find name for group ID 125"
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> dupmail: sorry misread
[13:40] <ksbalaji> No contact after Dr_Willis typed:..extensions for it via the web browser and use https://extensions.gnome.org/local/    is very.. nifty  ... am I still connected?
[13:40] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: what have you done?:D
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: does the vboxusers group exist?
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> sirriffsalot: this may be the issue. I suggest ou try a reboot first
[13:41] <sirriffsalot> *cough* forgot I have uninstalled vbox, hang on, gonna install it lol
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> d'oh
[13:42] <deepspeed> well thar's yer proble
[13:42] <Spider-Pork> Hi. I have a problem with cryptsetup. I'm trying to crypt an external USB disk with cryptsetup 1.4.3 on my kubuntu 11.04. The problem is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1028517/ the kernel is 2.6.38-15-generic-pae. Any idea? Thank you
[13:42] <deepspeed> m
[13:42] <dupmail> ActionParsnip: thanks though =)
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> dupmail  there's this, but mind: it says 8.04   https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/hppa/partitioning.html
[13:44] <benhelps> Any idea which versions of ubuntu server are ok to install via usb.  I have a problem with cryptsetup. I'm trying to crypt an external USB disk with cryptsetup 1.4.3 on my kubuntu 11.04. The problem is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1028517/ the kernel is 2.6.38-15-generic-pae. Any idea? Thank you
[13:45] <Zally666> No everybody has usb
[13:45] <dupmail> ActionParsnip: Ha ha =)
[13:46] <jrib> kRush: was this in the terminal?
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> dupmail: there is a floppy image to boot USB :)
[13:46] <kRush> jrib,  no
[13:46] <jrib> kRush: was the old one kept or the new one installed?
[13:46] <h00k> kRush: also, please keep the langauge appropriate
[13:47] <Tm_T> kRush: language, please
[13:47] <Zally666> Why would usb break?
[13:47] <sirriffsalot> ActionParsnip: nope.. still the same error.. waiting for reply in vbox:)
[13:48] <benhelps> Zally666: to me? Dunno but it fails for me with a can't find cdrom error. Forums have hinted its a bug with misnamed files in pool/l files
[13:48] <benhelps> Zally666: first version I recall having the problem
[13:48] <kRush> jrib,  I have no idea.. I do not know what file it was referencing (didn't show). the dialog just went away, the update completed as far as I can tell. /boot/grub has mod. dates from today /etc/grub.d/ has not
[13:49] <Zally666> Maybe a sabotage?
[13:49] <jrib> kRush: my guess would be /etc/default/grub
[13:49] <benhelps> Zally666: heh spose anythings possible
[13:49] <Netsho> Hey guys. just installed ubuntu and nvidia drivers. Ran sudo nvidia-xconfig and now I am stuck with 640x480
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> Netsho:  ran nvidia-settings yet?
[13:50] <Netsho> yes
[13:50] <kRush> jrib, if so it wasn't altered
[13:50] <Zally666> Try remastersys to cd or usb
[13:50] <Netsho> 640 and 320 available
[13:50] <Bentheplantguy> Need help mounting external drive.  No /media/external mount point.  fdisk -l  not showing device
[13:51] <jrib> kRush: you can reinstall the package (and possibly pass confask to dpkg)
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> if 'sudo fdisk -l' or 'sudo blkid' dont show the device.. id check dmesg for errors, andperhaps reboot and see if the bios shows the device
[13:51] <bcurtiswx> whats the best UPS software for Linux/Ubuntu ?
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  what sort of device is it?
[13:52] <Bentheplantguy> WD external HD
[13:52] <Netsho> Dr_Willis: I've followed this ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1857772&highlight=edid ) thread, but I can't get that EDID thing
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  then you plug it in, check dmesg output.
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> Netsho:  al ive ever had to do with my nviia cards is  install drivers, run nvidia-settings and save the new xorg.conf.
[13:53] <OerHeks> Bentheplantguy, did you use " sudo fdisk -l " ??
[13:53] <Netsho> yeah. But the resolution is f up
[13:53] <MonkeyDust> Bentheplantguy  what OerHeks says: don't forget sudo
[13:54] <Bentheplantguy> Dr_Willis: what is check dmesg command?
[13:54] <dupmail> G2g...thanks for eveyone's help
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  run 'dmesg' look for errors a few moments after plugging in the drive
[13:54] <nina666> hi... my laptop keeps hanging and freezing... im really getting annoyed, what should i do???
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> plug in, count to 10, run tail dmesg
[13:54] <Bentheplantguy> i used sudo fdisk -l, didn't list device
[13:54] <MonkeyDust> !details| nina666
[13:55] <Netsho> Guess I'll go back to my sweet Windows. Linux is way to hard to configure
[13:55] <Netsho> ty
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> i find it easier to convigure then windows..
[13:55] <MonkeyDust> Netsho  i use linux because win ios too hard to configure
[13:55] <Netsho> lool
[13:55] <MonkeyDust> is*
[13:55] <Netsho> then help me guys with the resolution
[13:55]  * Dr_Willis also hates having to spend hrs defragging/scanning for viruse and so forth. :)
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: I don't have to configure much here at all, works all OOTB :)
[13:56] <Netsho> I'd like to stick with linux
[13:56] <Spider-Pork> Hi. I have a problem with cryptsetup. I'm trying to crypt an external USB disk with cryptsetup 1.4.3 on my kubuntu 11.04. The problem is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1028517/ the kernel is 2.6.38-15-generic-pae. Any idea? Thank you
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> Netsho:  more details would be handy. like your exact video card.. but iuf you are going to just give up easially ........
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> Netsho: what are you configuring?
[13:56] <bcurtiswx> I have a new APC UPS system, what software supports that system?
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> bcurtiswx:  check the package manager. should be serveral in there
[13:56] <nina666> sry aabout that... im running ubuntu 12.04, the freezing happens frequently! (few times per hour)... without any particular reason. and everything gets stuck i cant even do a Ctrl+Alt+del or go to tty Ctrl+Alt+F1,...
[13:56] <Netsho> Dr_willis: 8500gt, ActionParsnip: My resolution is way too low
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> nina666  unity with the cube effect etc?
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> Netsho:  so was teh res correct befor you installed the nvidia drivers?
[13:57] <benhelps> Nina666: hardware failing? Eg video card
[13:57] <Netsho> the max was 1024*768
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> Netsho: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current; sudo nvidia-xconfig
[13:57] <nina666> MonkeyDust, yes its running... although the cube does not actually work but i think i previously set it in compiz settings
[13:57] <Bentheplantguy> plugged in device, ran 'dmesg', didn't see errors
[13:57] <nina666> benhelps, how to check that?
[13:57] <Netsho> ActionParsnip: did that already
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  you waited a few moments? then ran it? try again a few secconds later
[13:58] <Bentheplantguy> 10 sec
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> nina666  my advice is to disable some or all of the effects
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  if dmesg is showing NOTHING about that device.. then you got somthng very weird going on.
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> it could at least show usb device inserted.. or similer...
[13:58] <nina666> btw, maybe i should also mention that recently I upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 16GB and i feel the freezing is more frequent than before..
[13:58] <Netsho> ActionParsnip: my problem is close to this I guess: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1857772&highlight=edid
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> Netsho: then you'll be playing with xorg.conf a little. I can send you mine if you want to try...
[13:59] <Bentheplantguy> no, no.  it shows long list of info.  but not sure what i'm looking for in all of it
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> Netsho: sounds like a junky display :D
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> heres my xorg.conf for a Nvidia 520, on a 1080p monitor --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1028620/

[13:59] <nina666> btw, maybe i should also mention that recently I upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 16GB and i feel the freezing is more frequent than before..MonkeyDust
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  at the end, it should mention some* devices
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> nina666: have you tested the RAM using memtest?
[14:00] <Dr_Willis>  sd* devices. :)
[14:00] <nina666> MonkeyDust, should i disable my opengl as well?
[14:00] <nina666> ActionParsnip, no. let me do that..
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> nina666: well if the new ram caused the issue, isn't that he first thing you'd suspect....?
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  similer to -->  [45781.487869] usb 2-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 11 using ehci_hcd

[14:01] <Bentheplantguy> "[ 1292.952107] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3" ?
[14:01] <Bentheplantguy> yeah
[14:01] <nina666> ActionParsnip, the ram didnt cause it actually. i feel it increased abit after the upgrade..
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> nina666: its worth isolating out. If you run: uname -m   what is output?
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  notice the 'sdg' - thats the device in my case.
[14:02] <Bentheplantguy> [ 4219.289871] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 3

[14:02] <nina666> ActionParsnip, x86_64
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> nina666: good :)
[14:02] <Bentheplantguy> improper unmounting?  how can i fix?
[14:03] <Ormie> Can SOme one think of a name for my software for ubuntu?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> Bentheplantguy: boot to liveCD and fsck if it's an internal partition. Or if its USB / SD card based then fsck there.
[14:03] <ariana> Ormie, what is the soft for? what does it do?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: how do you mean?
[14:03] <Ormie> Dr_Willis, What are the 3 names you can think, that you said long ago?
[14:04] <nina666> ActionParsnip, btw, i should install memtest86 or memtester?
[14:04] <MonkeyDust> nina666  as for me, i use no desktop effects at all, works smoothly
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> perhaps write the software first.. then worry about the software. :)  OrmiesYetAnotherTweakerTool
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> nina666: hold shift at boot and select memtest
[14:04] <nina666> MonkeyDust, how about opengl?
[14:04] <mneptok> Ormie: please stay on-topic, which is technical support.
[14:04] <Spider-Pork> Hi. I have a problem with cryptsetup. I'm trying to crypt an external USB disk with cryptsetup 1.4.3 on my kubuntu 11.04. The problem is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1028517/ the kernel is 2.6.38-15-generic-pae. Any idea? Thank you
[14:04] <DJones> Ormie: Thinking of a name for software might be a better question for #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> Ormie:  other ubnut tweaking tools? theres Ubuntu-tweak, MyUnity, and Gnome-tweak-tool   I belive.. there may be others
[14:04] <nina666> ActionParsnip, ok. noted :) then I'll have to restart and come back tell u..
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: why not just contribute to one of the already standing aps.
[14:05] <Ormie> ?
[14:05] <nina666> ActionParsnip, MonkeyDust, brb...
[14:05] <Ormie> nvm
[14:05] <Bentheplantguy> how do i boot to liveCD when i have no control over the device?  aside from finding th port where it says "disconnected"?
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: instead of making new, help with one that already exists
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  whens the last time you ever used that external hard drive? in any OS.
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> Bentheplantguy: sudo fdisk -l    will show the available partitions
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  if its disconnecting automatically. that points to some issue - perhaps in the hardware/cable/power/ports
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> Bentheplantguy: if its external, EVERY TIME you disconnect it, remember to use the 'safe remove' feature. It's in all modern OSes
[14:06] <Bentheplantguy> sudo fdisk -l only shows internal HD partition
[14:07] <Bentheplantguy> Dr_Willis: fist used a year ago, haven't been able to connect since.
[14:08] <Bentheplantguy> yeah i know safe remove.  but i'm running ubuntu on a very old dell.  it freezes and crashes from time to time
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> soubnds like that drive may be dead to me....
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> I need to return a dead drive also... gotta do that this week
[14:09] <xun1l> hello guys, how can i see the source code of the driver for usb mouse ??
[14:09] <nina666> ActionParsnip, ok this was interesting..
[14:09] <ikonia> xun1l: look in the kernel
[14:09] <nina666> ActionParsnip, how usually the results of memtest should be?
[14:09] <ikonia> xun1l: (assuming you mean the driver the kernel is using)
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> nina666: no red output
[14:10] <xun1l> ikonia: yup
[14:10] <ikonia> xun1l: check the kernel source then
[14:10] <xun1l> can u be more specific, new to this..
[14:10] <xun1l> where to find that ??
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> nina666: if the screen stays blue and the top progress abr just moves, the ram is ok, if you get red scrolling in the bottom right section you have bad ram
[14:11] <nina666> ActionParsnip, i didnt get any red input, but everything was done very fast, less than 10 secs (is that normal?) it started scanning and quickly reached 100% and suddenly reset..
[14:11] <shanky_ty> xun1l: google it
[14:11] <xun1l> shanky_ty, chup ho ja saale
[14:11] <nina666> ActionParsnip, then i think was ok, the only weired thing for me was that why everythink was so quickly with a quick reset without any prompt..
[14:11] <shanky_ty> xun1l: dude this is english channel ..
[14:11] <ikonia> xun1l: kernel.org has the base kernel source
[14:12] <nina666> ActionParsnip, i expected a success/error message to appear
[14:12] <nina666> ActionParsnip, but suddenly turned off and reset back
[14:12] <sipior> xun1l: you'll probably want to start here if you'd like to get involved in the community: http://kernelnewbies.org/
[14:13] <shanky_ty> xun1l: lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/hid/usbhid/usbmouse.c
[14:13] <nina666> ActionParsnip,  ok now, should i disable my opengl?
[14:14] <shanky_ty> irc://oftc/kernelnewbies
[14:14] <ikonia> shanky_ty: please don't
[14:14] <xun1l> shanky_ty: thnx  :P
[14:14] <Bentheplantguy> When mounting, can I use something like '[ 4399.636033]' instead of a name/location like /dev/sdb1 ?
[14:14] <shanky_ty> ikonia: ??
[14:14] <ikonia> Bentheplantguy: you can mount a device on any valid mount point
[14:15] <OerHeks> nina666, when your pc resets during memtest86, i say it is a hardware failure, probably memory.
[14:15] <dorgan> ok i know doing    command > file   put the output of the command into the file   but is there a way to append to a file?
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  untill the os gives the hd a proper /dev/sdXX  you are not going to be doing much of anything with it.
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  that ##### is a timestamp of the kernel logging  i belive
[14:17] <pokkos> dorgan: command >> file
[14:18] <Bentheplantguy> Thanks Dr_Willis.  is there a way to flash the drive and mount from scratch?  if i mkdir /media/external, will that alter the recognition of fdisk -l?
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> dorgan:  check some bash docs on > >> and  'command output redirection'
[14:18] <dorgan> pokkos: perfect thanks
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  if the os is not giveing it a  /dev/sdXX name.you cant do much of anything with it...
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> its as if its not even plugged in
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:   id check the cables and listen to the hd and be sure its even spinning up
[14:19] <Kornkage4> http://i.imgur.com/51Rp2.jpg
[14:20] <Bentheplantguy> it spins up, and it's a brand new USB 2/3 cable.  i think i just corrupted the drive when my computer crashed
[14:20] <MonkeyDust> Kornkage4  wrong channel, not he
[14:20] <MonkeyDust> re
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> Bentheplantguy: could try plugging it into a windows box
[14:30] <Dr_Willis> hard drives are the weakest link in hardware these days it seems
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: true but you can make it bearable. 24 SSDs in RAID ;)
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> i dont even own a single sdd. yet.. :)
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: me neither
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> been watching them go on sale every so often.. but $100 for a 100gb SSD is nice.. but still way to tiny for me ;P
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: just put /usr os the SSD and the rest on playyer based :)
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> I dont have a raid.. i got a 'Reduant Stack of External USB hard Drives' ;)
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> just one here for backup
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> plus dropbox for my configs and scripts
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> i got backups of my backups. ;)
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> mainly wifes videos for her Media Watching Needs..
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> So i got one Media Server, and then backups of the videos its serving. just in case.
[14:36] <vmeson> My system was trashing this morning. kern.log says: INFO: task jbd2/sda3-8:936 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: fileserver + usb backup every week
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> vmeson: are you doing any HDD intensive tasks?
[14:37] <vmeson> This is not reproducible, should I still file a bug report?
[14:37] <Bentheplantguy> Dr_Willis: HD recognized on mac.... ?
[14:37] <vmeson> ActionParsnip: no.
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> My New TV - i can attatch 3 external USB hds to it. :)
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy: you are asking a question?
[14:38] <vmeson> ActionParsnip: well, I did a back-up yesterday  but the problem started hours after that when I was away from my system.
[14:38] <Bentheplantguy> haha, well if it's recognized there, then the drive isn't flawed from improper unmounting.  so why isn't my OS recognizing it?
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> i would guess cable, or port, or power.
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> vmeson: have you rebooted since?
[14:39] <vmeson> first sign of trouble: 22:23 ET,  checked system at 10:00 and it was very slow to respond and the disk io light was flashing like mad.
[14:39] <vmeson> ActionParsnip: yes.
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> vmeson: does top show any high CPU usages?
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> vmeson: anything using lots of RAM which wil then use swap?
[14:40] <tom_> Hey is there a way to remove a launcher that I created and droped on the applet bar
[14:40] <vmeson> ActionParsnip: quasselclient - ~5%
[14:40] <vmeson> yes, I blame chrome and my addition to tabs...
[14:40] <Byly> hi
[14:40] <vmeson> oom-killer should have visited in that case...
[14:41] <Bentheplantguy> cable/power all the same.  safe eject on Mac, moved USB to port i just used to print document.  still doesn't recognize
[14:41] <Byly> there are any option to force the user to set a passphrase in his public key?
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> vmeson: if you kill chrome, is it ok?
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  what filesystem is on that hard drive?
[14:42] <vmeson> ActionParsnip: it's okay after a reboot..
[14:42] <xangua> vmeson: just happened the same with a hundred tabs on firefox jum
[14:43] <Bentheplantguy> i'm not sure, i've only booted it twice now.  i tried force mounting before with fat 16/32 and ntsf commands, but neither got me anywhere
[14:43] <vmeson> xangua: yeah...  linux/ubuntu needs a mechanism to kill tabs in web browsers when memory is low..
[14:43]  * vmeson googles to see if someone has done that yet...
[14:44] <auronandace> vmeson: that would be the wrong way of going about it
[14:44] <jarubyh> I'm trying dual boot 12.04 with Windows XP, but gParted says the minimum size for the XP partition is pretty much my whole disk. I've tried mounting it and 'df -h', and apparently only 20% is used. Any ideas?
[14:44]  * vmeson finds: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/out-of-memory-handling
[14:44] <vmeson> auronandace: why?
[14:45] <auronandace> vmeson: if the browser is using too much resources the browser is at fault, not the kernel
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> vmeson: each tab in chrome/ium is a process, helps for killing them off :)
[14:45] <Dr_Willis> jarubyh:  you may want to have windows scandisk and defrag befor you try to resize with gparted
[14:45] <jarubyh> Dr_Willis: Thanks, is there a tool in Windows I can use?
[14:45] <vmeson> auronandace: the process should monitor for low system resources, or run in a container I suppose but
[14:46] <vmeson> auronandace: in extreme cases, there should be: initially a notification from the kernel that it's gettign trigger happy, later oom-killer should take out an easily restored tab/process.
[14:46] <jabes> I'm having trouble setting up netbeans c/c++?
[14:47] <kyle__> Two things changed at once: 11.10->12.04 and unity2d->unity, and now my system is unstable.  Has anyone else experienced this?  It's a core-i5 lenovo with a run-of-the-mill intel chipset integrated everything.
[14:47] <kyle__> jabes: Errr, how did you install netbeans?
[14:47] <jarubyh> jabes: Expound.
[14:47] <auronandace> vmeson: if you fork that responsibility off to the kernel then you are encouraging browser makers to be lazy
[14:47] <ska> using 12.04 and  RTL8111/8168B card. I installed the r8168-dkms, but system will not wake on lan.
[14:47] <vmeson> auronandace: I prefer belt and suspenders: process try to behave, the kernel needs an oom policy.
[14:48] <jabes> kyle__: i download it with just the java compliers and installed the c/c++ plugin
[14:48] <jabes> then i download the c dev libraries
[14:48] <ska> Any ideas on wake-on-lan fix?
[14:48] <kyle__> ska: It may need bios settings as well.  Also, if it's not an integrated nic, you may need to hookup a WOL cable from the nic to the mobo.
[14:48] <kyle__> K
[14:48] <jabes> jarubyh: what's Expound?
[14:48] <kyle__> jabes: So under plugins, it shows c/c++ in the installed tab?
[14:49] <kyle__> jabes: And there's a green circle with a checkmark by it.
[14:49] <jabes> kyle__: yeah i think its not find the library
[14:49] <ska> kyle__: It worked before i upgraded from 10.04
[14:49] <kyle__> ska: Ooh.  then all that stuff should be taken care of.
[14:50] <kyle__> jabes: Under options, is there a c++ section?
[14:51] <jabes> kyle__: which options?
[14:51] <ska> kyle__: I'll double check the bios, but I don't thing it was changed.
[14:51] <jabes> under tools?
[14:52] <miscff> i installed utily-2d, but i can not see utily-2d when i login to X with lightdm.  how to use utily-2d?
[14:52] <jabes> kyle__ yeah there's a c/c++ section
[14:52] <kyle__> jabes: Under one of the menus, there's an options selection.  It brings up a window where you can set general settings editor keymap etc... Also there should be a C/C++ section where you tell it what compiler to use.
[14:52] <Bentheplantguy> Dr_Willis?: what do you think about reformatting in FAT through OSX?
[14:52] <kyle__> jabes: If there isn't a tool collection, click add, setup one for the gnu compiler & tools
[14:52] <jabes> kyle__ yeah i have it set to use gcc
[14:53] <xangua> miscff: clic on the little ubuntu icon next to your user name, and select it
[14:53] <xangua> in the login screen*
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  Why do you need it to be fat?
[14:53] <kyle__> jabes: Hum.  Then I don't know what to tell you, since it's always worked for me, if I have the plugin and the compiler specified, it works.  What isn't working for you?
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> Bentheplantguy:  you could just delete the paritons. and then plug it back in and see if linux sees it.
[14:54] <jabes> kyle__ i think the problem is the C dev library isn't included some how
[14:54] <jabes> kyle__ i had to use synaptic to down the library
[14:55] <ilovezoo> hi, i want to install another linux distro. my computer already has  4 primary partitions (3 are for Windows7, one is for linux). how do i install another linux distro?
[14:56] <Dr_Willis> ilovezoo:  you will need to somehow convert one to a logical to hold extended paritons.. or use a differnt hd
[14:56] <MonkeyDust> !install| ilovezoo
[14:56] <ilovezoo> Dr_Willis: i only have one hard drive (in my laptop).
[14:56] <vmeson> ilovezoo: or use a virtual machine.
[14:56] <Dr_Willis> ilovezoo:  guess you go the first way then...
[14:56]  * Dr_Willis has a laptop with 2 hds. ;)
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> and weighs a ton....
[14:57] <ilovezoo> vmeson: doesn't using virtual machine mean slower experience? my computer is not very powerful
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: is it a quosmio?
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> ilovezoo:  given the other option is some major redoing of the hd.
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  yep a X505
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: what a guess!!
[14:57] <kyle__> jabes: When you say the c dev library are you referring to ubuntu's or netbeans'?
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> my brother has it now :) its using it as his main game machine.
[14:58] <jabes> kkyle__ ubuntu's
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> Thing + its Power supply and case = like 20lbs.. :)
[14:58] <kyle__> and sorry for the lab, It's daddy day so I'm constantly running off to make sure the kiddos aren't injuring eachother.
[14:58] <SajjaD> i got this error when i want to install everything. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1028746/
[14:58] <jabes> kyle__ ubuntu's
[14:58] <kyle__> jabes: if you install the build-essential metapackage you should get everything needed.
[14:58] <ilovezoo> Can I hand my 2nd linux distro to the same partition as my first distro (which is already installed)?
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: my D420 is 3.17lbs with 4 cell battery :)
[14:59] <ilovezoo> hand --> have
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> ilovezoo:  most likely.. no.
[14:59] <ilovezoo> oops. i mean "Can I add"
[14:59] <jabes> kyle__ build-essential metapackage? is that with the plugin section?
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> ilovezoo:  what 2 disrtos are you using?
[14:59] <ilovezoo> Dr_Willis: 2 ubuntu flavors
[14:59] <ilovezoo> mint and linux
[15:00] <ilovezoo> oops. i mean mint and ubuntu
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> ilovezoo:   dare i ask.. why bother. ;)
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> pretty much
[15:01] <kyle__> jabes: No in ubuntu.  If you install that metapackage, you have all the libs and binaries ubuntu needs.  That + netbeans + c/c++ plugin should be all you need.
[15:01] <Bentheplantguy> in disk utility, it only recognizes the main partition "my book" and wont let me delete that.  i say fat because it only offers me that or Mac OS Extended file systems.  i don't know how to format manually to ntfs.
[15:01] <SajjaD> i got this error :
[15:01] <SajjaD> dpkg: error: /var/lib/dpkg/info/format is corrupted, it should contain a database format version (an integer)
[15:01] <SajjaD> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[15:01] <SajjaD> what is it about
[15:01] <Ormie> is there a way to revert everything back since after i did a clean install of ubuntu
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> SajjaD: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1028756   try that
[15:02] <jabes> kyle__ ok I'll go look for it thanks
[15:02] <OerHeks> Ormie no, unless you made a snapshot.
[15:03] <Ormie> OerHeks, What is the maximum range of data I can restore up to?
[15:03] <OerHeks> Ormie, restore?
[15:03] <Ormie> yeah
[15:03] <isleofmandan> Apologies if this info exists somewhere obvious (I've looked and can't find!) but does anyone here know how to get my Galaxy Nexus phone to talk to Ubuntu 12.04 ?  I just want to transfer some files and neither PTP or MTP is working for me.
[15:04] <OerHeks> Ormie, restoring data has nothing to do with the ubuntu install.
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> isleofmandan: http://askubuntu.com/questions/87667/getting-mtp-to-work-with-a-galaxy-nexus
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> isleofmandan: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-connect-your-android-ice-cream-sandwich-phone-to-ubuntu-for-file-access
[15:05] <Ormie> OerHeks, Let's make this clear again
[15:05] <jabes> kyle__ build-essential for creating debian packages?
[15:05] <Ormie> OerHeks, What is the maximum range of settings or/and data I can restore up to?
[15:06] <auronandace> Ormie: thats not clearer
[15:06] <kyle__> jabes: Wait, you want to create .debs?  That's a whole different set of packages, and I'm not familiar with them :/ sorry
[15:07] <jabes> kyle__ no I'm asking because that all i could find called  build-essential metapackage
[15:07] <isleofmandan> ActionParsnip:  Thank you!
[15:07] <brodro> Does anyone know if it
[15:07] <kyle__> hum.
[15:07] <brodro> is it possible to access steam and games like portal 2 on ubuntu?
[15:08] <kyle__> jabes: Stupid question, did you make a simple c program and comile it from the command line?  Did it work?
[15:08] <kyle__> jabes: Make sure there isn't something more basic going wrong.
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> !wine | brodro
[15:08] <jabes> kyle__ yeah that worked fine
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> brodro:  steam and some games work with wine
[15:08] <OerHeks> Ormie, ubuntu has no restorepoints, so you should backup your system or data yourself.
[15:09] <kyubutsu> use dejadup, works
[15:09] <Ormie> ok
[15:09] <jabes> kyle__ i'm sure netbeans isn't finding the library which i why it's giving me 'can not find file' errors
[15:09] <kyle__> jabes: I think it's time you checked with the #netbeans folks, sorry :/
[15:10] <jabes> kyle__ okay thanks, but can you do me a favor? in c/c++ tab can you look in code assistance and post the directories?

[15:16] <gits1225> ActionParsnip: no comeback there...
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> wdp: probably the issue then, do you have the headers for the kernel
[15:16] <Urkman1|FFXII> Hello all
[15:16] <wdp> how do i check?
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> wdp: dpkg -l | grep linux | grep head

[15:17] <unkn-error|znc> is there a easy way, whitout having problems?
[15:17] <thiagomds>  claws-mail-pgpmime, libgpcl-dev, libgpcl0
[15:17] <wdp> ActionParsnip, yeah. headers are installed (2.6.32* 3.0.0-20* and generic-pae)
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> unkn-error|znc: run:   gksudo gedit /etc/hostname &       then run:  gksudo gedit /etc/hosts      and edit BOTH files, then save them. Don't edit either til they are both open.
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> wdp: hmm, not sure then. Are there any bugs reported? Is there a dkms log in /var/log ?

[15:19] <abdo> i want to write a Pargraph of my bank statement
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> thiagomds  guess only the gpc libs
[15:19] <wdp> ActionParsnip, no dkms there; the make.log says "unable to determine the target kernel version" and in /usr/src/ is no folder called "linux" as i know it from different distributions.
[15:19] <wdp> ActionParsnip, probably thats the reason
[15:19] <sacarlson> abdo: how about export your spread sheet to pdf and just publish that on your web page
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> wdp: sounds liekly, are there bugs reported. You've found some pretty good stuff so far
[15:20] <tomtiger11> DONG!
[15:20] <msch> how do the kernel vga parameters work? how can i say i want 1920x1080
[15:20] <tomtiger11> Oops
[15:20] <Ormie> When you have the normal ubuntu desktop, you get to a mode that runs the graphic mode, right?
[15:20] <tomtiger11> :L
[15:20] <r0tha> msch: click the windows key
[15:21] <abdo> Im learning english and want to write a pargraph about it
[15:21] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  yes, the default is Unity
[15:21] <wdp> ActionParsnip, thats why i'm asking here :) no i haven't checked for bugs yet (hence i asked if there are any known ones) anyway, does your ubuntu have /usr/src/linux? if yes, what would i need to install to get the kernel unpacked there?
[15:21] <msch> r0tha: what?
[15:21] <r0tha> search from display i believe those setting will be there
[15:21] <dr3mro> hello does rebuilding apps with apt-build realt boost performance ?
[15:21] <Ormie> And I uninstall unity, How do I switch to the mode that runs the terminal right when you start?
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> msch: change: #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480   to: GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080
[15:21] <msch> ActionParsnip: ah so no vga=whatever, thanks again :)
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> msch: you can use hwinfo to see if you can use that res using framebuffer, or it may not show
[15:22] <Ormie> I am not attempting it for real, I am making a tweaker.
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> msch: didn't the text in the file kinda give it away..
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> !text| Ormie
[15:22] <abdo> ok i ve to go thanks alot SACARLSON
[15:22] <msch> ActionParsnip: didn't look at it, i didn't expect linux to actually be that easy to configure. i remember setting vga=...
[15:23] <Ormie> MonkeyDust, Can I switch while being in the terminal instead?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> msch: its very easy :), mostly text files
[15:24] <MonkeyDust> msch  "15:55 < Netsho> Guess I'll go back to my sweet Windows. Linux is way to hard to configure" ;)
[15:24] <msch> ActionParsnip: yeah last time i used linux on the desktop it wasn't that easy :)
[15:24] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  havent tried
[15:24] <Ormie> :(
[15:24] <wdp> ActionParsnip, any idea?
[15:24] <msch> MonkeyDust: i disagree :) i fixed a compilation bug in a proprietary kernel module just now and i could never have done that on windows :)
[15:25]  * msch feels proud
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> wdp: all I can suggest is report a bug will all that stuff you found
[15:25] <wdp> nah. i'll just go the manual way then.
[15:25] <Ormie> Anyone else?
[15:25] <dr3mro> hello does rebuilding apps with apt-build realt boost performance ?
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> dr3mro: could try it with an app or two
[15:27] <dr3mro> ActionParsnip, did any one here try it out .. it's said to boost performance on debian !!
[15:28] <mneptok> dr3mro: my experience is that with "boost performance" it usually means "over the entire life of the machine, the time gained in the performance boost is offset<PHONE_NUMBER>86% by the time spent recompiling stuff." why bother?
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> dr3mro  try with an app and report in the channel, for future reference
[15:28] <dr3mro> MonkeyDust, OK
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> dr3mro: tried it ages ago tbh, can't remember. Give it a try

[15:41] <JonEdney> I installed GnomeClassic and selected it from the login screen.  Didn't care for it.  When I select Ubuntu 3D now, the screen just shows my background image, no interface.
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> JonEdney: tried Unity2D?
[15:41] <JonEdney> It partially works.
[15:41] <WeissLehrer> Chuck_Norris: thx, that was it
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: maybe your ISP is having issues..
[15:41] <Chuck_Norris> np
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: could reboot router, then system.
[15:42] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: a tracepath... http://pastebin.com/7nQT4eRv
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: are other browsers the same?
[15:42] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: yes, all browsers and cli
[15:43] <JonEdney> ActionParsnip, I'm on Unity 2D now, but it seems glitchy, I have to select things 2-3 times to get them to respond, or they just dont respond at all.
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: I'd try a router reboot, then a PC reboot
[15:44] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: can't reboot router, it is my server in my classroom...
[15:46] <Ubuntu_Guru> Good day to all :)
[15:46] <Chuck_Norris> aloha
[15:46] <Ubuntu_Guru> Hehehe, good old Chuck!
[15:47]  * Ubuntu_Guru wants to know if anyone here works for Canonical? I have just seen an opening for a User Support Agent and I will DO ANYTHING for that job!!!
[15:47] <wdp> Ubuntu_Guru, k. jump out of the window.
[15:47] <wdp> (not funny?)
[15:47] <Ubuntu_Guru> not so much :)
[15:47] <wdp> :>
[15:48] <Ubuntu_Guru> I have been unemployed for several months looking for a position in NGO or open-source ecology
[15:48] <Ubuntu_Guru> So Seeing this opening has made my year !
[15:49] <DrHalan> hey guys. i was wondering if it there is some kind of birthday notification possible with gnome contacts

[15:50] <MonkeyDust> Ubuntu_Guru  http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/careers
[15:50] <SajjaD> any idea about this error:
[15:50] <SajjaD> dpkg: error: /var/lib/dpkg/info/format is corrupted, it should contain a database format version (an integer)
[15:50] <SajjaD> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2).
[15:50] <StayInSkool> strange issue i cant seem to find info on: when hooking up a 2nd monitor, hardware acceleration disappears under unity (no shadows, transparency fx etc). clues?
[15:50] <Ubuntu_Guru> Chuck that is a sad truth
[15:52] <leto> Hi, alt-tab isn't working anymore to switch between windows (tought it worked yesterday), how can I solve it?
[15:53] <ugur> leto: if you use ccsm try reset to default from profile section
[15:54] <Chuck_Norris> leto: choose another switch windows in "compizconfig-setting-manager"
[15:55] <leto> hi ugur and Chuck_Norris : compizconfig-setting-manager
[15:55] <leto> compizconfig-setting-manager: command not found
[15:56] <dreamtraveler> hi i had just installed ccsm but for some reason i dont see the effects of it even though i have enabled wooby effects on windows
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> dreamtraveler:  you are using unity and not unity2d ?
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> dreamtraveler: if you run: ps -ef | grep compiz | grep -v grep    do you see any output?
[15:56] <SajjaD> waiting for answer
[15:56] <dreamtraveler> i am using xubuntu 12.04
[15:56] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: I just ssh'd to my home computer which uses same ISP as my classroom.  I can ping jquery.com from home but not my room.
[15:57] <ugur> leto: sudo apt-get install ccsm
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> SajjaD:  looks like the file is bad/currupted.
[15:57] <SajjaD> which?
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> dpkg: error: /var/lib/dpkg/info/format is corrupted
[15:57] <SajjaD> what should i do?
[15:57] <ugur> leto: sorry sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:58] <dreamtraveler> ActionParsnip,  i dont see output
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> willis@Speedbuntu:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ ls -l format
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1 Apr 25 12:04 format
[15:58] <leto> ugur: no problem, I'm installing it
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> the format file seems empty here.
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> dreamtraveler: then you aren't running  compiz, so you won't see the effects
[15:58] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: Oh, I can access forum.jquery.com but not api.jquery.com or www.jquery.com from my computer in school
[15:58] <Chuck_Norris> leto: compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:58] <dreamtraveler> ActionParsnip, then how do i enable compiz ?
[15:59] <SajjaD> Dr_Willis: how can i correct the file?
[15:59] <Chuck_Norris> if it's not installed so... sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> SajjaD: /var/lib/dpkg/info/format: very short file (no magic)
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> SajjaD:  rename it. make a new one.
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> dreamtraveler: press ALT+F2 and run:  compiz --replace
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> i dont see any data in it whatsoever
[15:59] <StayInSkool> anyone? :/ hardware acceleration tears
[15:59] <EEe8200> In what location is the internet brownsing history stored? in /home or in /tmp or in another folder?
[15:59] <dreamtraveler> ActionParsnip, do i need to do this all the time ?
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> EEe8200: which browser?
[15:59] <EEe8200> all of them
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> dreamtraveler: is compiz running ok?
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> StayInSkool:  enable that sync to vblank option perhaps - it seems to helped my nvidia systems
[16:00] <dreamtraveler> actually i um cant em
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> EEe8200: depends, firefox stores it in ~/.mozilla/firefox/someplace
[16:00] <StayInSkool> Dr_Willis: will try! thanks
[16:00] <dreamtraveler> switch between windows since there is no x plus or dash
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> EEe8200: chromium stores it in ~/.cache/chromium    chrome in ~/.cache/google-chrome
[16:01] <EEe8200> hm, and where is " ~./ "?
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> EEe8200:  thats a path.. ~ is your home dir
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> EEe8200: its means a hidden folder in your home
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> EEe8200: ~ = $HOME = /home/$USER
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> if this is all voodoo. it may be time to read a few bash starter guides. ;)
[16:03] <EEe8200> then, all the stuff which I see from the internet like pictures, movies, texfiles and so on falls in the /home, so I will need to encrypt only this and the swap, and I can leave the rest out unencrypted
[16:03] <primenumber> Hi gang - quick question. I have a recurrent crash of something about a minute after I boot 12.04. Is there a log I can check to see what it is? There is often no option at the time to get details. Thanks!
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> EEe8200: /home/$USER/Pictures
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> EEe8200:  /home is  where your users homes are at. :) its not the same as /home/yourusername
[16:04] <dreamtraveler> ActionParsnip,  yeah i am good now... thanks but isnt there a gui way to switch between window managers instead of typing code ?
[16:04] <EEe8200> aham
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> why do you need to encrypt swap?
[16:04] <leto> ugur: I've reseted to default in ccsm, but same problem
[16:04] <laumonier> hi i want to know on which firmware my usb wifi dongle is .how can i do to know??thx
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> dreamtraveler:  normally you pick what desktop to use at the login screen
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> laumonier:  plug it in, check lsusb output
[16:05] <dreamtraveler> Dr_Willis, then i think i have an issue cause
[16:05] <wdp> ActionParsnip, my trouble might be cause its a pretty old ubuntu install.
[16:05] <dreamtraveler> Dr_Willis, i login automatically
[16:05] <sipior> Dr_Willis: in case your passphrase gets swapped to disk :-) some applications are less than perfectly cautious about that.
[16:05] <wdp> ActionParsnip, doing an upgrade from 10.04 LTS to 10.10
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> dreamtraveler:  so log out. select the one you want. it rembers
[16:06] <LmAt> I would like my program to keep running after I press CTRL+Z.  I read that bg is the way to do this.
[16:06] <LmAt> CTRL+Z && bg.  It doesn't seem to work.
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> LmAt:  you may want to check into screen, tmux and the nohup command also.. and detatch
[16:06] <laumonier> Dr_Willis,  all i have is Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7718UN 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Ralink RT2870]
[16:06] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: I have tmux.
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> wdp: you can upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 directly if you want
[16:07] <wdp> hm
[16:07] <wdp> well doing it step by step, we'll see
[16:07] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: is there another channel I might get assistance from on this problem?
[16:07] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: I'm using tmux. I know how to detatch.  I would like to move the job to background.
[16:07] <Chuck_Norris> laumonier: do you have some issues with that ralink?
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> LmAt:  ctrl-z and 'bg' works here for me.
[16:08] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: hmm.
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> [1]+  Stopped                 gedit foo
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> willis@Speedbuntu:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ bg
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> [1]+ gedit foo &
[16:08] <LmAt> my irc client timed out when I left it in bg for a few minutes.  It looke
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> gedit is then running.....
[16:08] <FloodBot1> Dr_Willis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:08] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: Mine does that, but right after [1]+ prog & , it goes back to [1]+ Stopped   prog
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> could be somthing odd with the irc client.
[16:09] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: Perhaps irssi doesn't want to go to backgrounD?
[16:09] <laumonier> Chuck_Norris,  yes it's barely working so i try to find some solution to fix it
[16:09] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: Thanks.
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> with tmux you shoudl jsut make a new terminal
[16:09] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: Well, I want to share irssi and bash sometimes, but then sometimes I want to share the same bash with vi.
[16:09] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: I want to switch between irssi and vi on one pane with the same bash, but I don't want to divide between vi and irssi.
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> LmAt: could use screen
[16:10] <Dr_Willis> share? i dont get what you mean by shareing irssi and bash..  you can have tmux open several shells and have them all running at the same time
[16:10] <Chuck_Norris> laumonier: paste: lsmod | grep 802
[16:10] <LmAt> ActionParsnip: umm
[16:10] <Dr_Willis> byobu is also very handy . ;) its like screen/tmux polished up a bit.
[16:10] <leto> < Chuck_Norris> leto: choose another switch windows in "compizconfig-setting-manager" ← would you please tell me how to do that? :)
[16:10] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: I want   %bash% | %irssi% sometimes and %bash% | %vi% sometimes.
[16:10] <LmAt> I don't want %bash%| (%irssi% / %vi%)  (do you get my notation?
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> LmAt:  Nope. ;)
[16:11] <Chuck_Norris> leto: compizconfig-settings-manager
[16:11] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: So, bash is on the left half.  irssi is on the right half.
[16:11] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: (that's what I mean by %bash% | %irssi%)
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> of the tmux wundow you mean?
[16:11] <laumonier> Chuck_Norris, http://pastebin.com/vjzqUJZ6
[16:11] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: yes.
[16:11] <leto> Chuck_Norris: I'm in, and?
[16:11] <Chuck_Norris> leto: if it is not installed do: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> I think tmux can save layouts...
[16:11] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: And sometimes I don't want irssi; I want vi in stead.
[16:12] <SajjaD> Could not exec dpkg!
[16:12] <Chuck_Norris> and choose another switch windows
[16:12] <SajjaD> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (100)
[16:12] <leto> Chuck_Norris: it wasn't, I just installed it
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> I just use ctrl-a n to get to the next one. :) i rarely use the window mode of screen or tmux
[16:12] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: I use window mode all the time!
[16:13] <SajjaD> Dr_Willis: i renamed the format file but this error now:
[16:13] <SajjaD> Could not exec dpkg!
[16:13] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: I don't need... what is it, 120 ? 180? columns.
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> i use screen/byobu/tmux over ssh on my android phone. :) window mode isent going to work very well
[16:13] <SajjaD> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (100)
[16:13] <Chuck_Norris> leto: now open it, in dash write: compiz  and you will see it
[16:13] <LmAt> Dr_Willis: For sure.  It's useful because I have a moderately large screen.
[16:14] <LmAt> OH yeah, I wanted to put a different font on my terminal windows...thanks for reminding me.  Time to install Grub2
[16:14] <LmAt> window 4
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> LmAt:  I tend to use 'terminator' in X for a terminal window. its a bit easier to manage the windows
[16:14] <StayInSkool> Dr_Willis: no dice. looks like my issues have to do with Xinerama
[16:14] <StayInSkool> not sure how to make two separate X screens user friendly. can't drag anything across..
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> StayInSkool:  ive never needed to use 2 septrate x screens
[16:15] <imagine> hello

[16:20] <BlessJah> i'm getting (OOPS ID: 2350carambolalaunchpad572) while trying to log in using LPs OpenID
[16:20] <BlessJah> is it proper channel to ask launchpad related questions?
[16:21] <ki4ro> BlessJah: Ask away and you'll find out I'm sure
[16:22] <BlessJah> ki4ro: already asked ^^
[16:22] <ki4ro> BlessJah: Gotcha LOL
[16:23] <yoyo> woiii tolong dong
[16:23] <iceroot> BlessJah: #launchpad
[16:23] <DJones> BlessJah: There is #launchpad that might be a better channel
[16:23] <LordOfTime> BlessJah:  #launchpad would be better
[16:23] <rzx237> yoyo: what's up?
[16:24] <BlessJah> lol, i've mispelled channel name
[16:24] <BlessJah> that's why i couldn't find the right channel
[16:24] <BlessJah> thanks iceroot, DJones, ki4ro and LordOfTime
[16:24] <Dr_Willis>  #lunchpad :)
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[16:26] <yoyo> rzx237 :
[16:26] <yoyo> ??
[16:26] <leto> Chuck_Norris: compiz
[16:26] <LordOfTime> yoyo:  do you have a support question?
[16:26] <catphish> does ubuntu 12.04 have a local dns proxy by default?
[16:26] <catphish> my resolv.conf points to <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:26] <leto> Chuck_Norris: "compiz (core) - Error: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager."
[16:26] <yoyo> lord yes
[16:27] <rhomboetric> what services do i have to remove to make my ubuntu invisible in the network?
[16:27] <yoyo> I have installed virtualbox but
[16:27] <LordOfTime> rhomboetric:  not connecting to the network
[16:27] <rhomboetric> ;)
[16:27] <LordOfTime> rhomboetric:  no system is truly invisible to a network
[16:27] <rhomboetric> yeah, i mean something like "turn off autodiscovery"
[16:27] <catphish> oh yeah dnsmasq
[16:27] <yoyo> virtualbox say"concole error" when I ready to install xp
[16:28] <LordOfTime> rhomboetric:  you could disable avahi or whatever the autodiscovery system is
[16:28] <rhomboetric> besides purgeing smb, what else do i have to deinstall?
[16:28] <Chuck_Norris> leto: type into the terminal: compiz --replave
[16:28]  * LordOfTime hasnt worked with that for a while since even if his system is discoverable its locked down by firewall
[16:28] <Chuck_Norris> excuse me =P i meant: compiz --replace
[16:28] <rhomboetric> yeah, read avahi, but when i try to deinstall it, it wants to deinstall ubuntu-dektop :/
[16:28] <rhomboetric> is there any way to turn it off?
[16:29] <LordOfTime> rhomboetric:  ubuntu-desktop is a meta package
[16:29] <LordOfTime> as long as it isnt uninstalling that and everything else you *might* be okay
[16:29] <rhomboetric> can is disable to deinstall it?
[16:29] <iceroot> what is the difference between "recommend update" and "important update" in the update-manager? or better what is telling update-manager what is important and what is recommend? the changelog with urgency?
[16:30] <Jon--> Since upgrading to 12.04 syndaemon has 100% CPU usage (Thankfully it only uses 1 core). Can we debug this a bit before I make a ticket for it?
[16:31] <yoyo> lord
[16:33] <vahnx> Ack I just checked on a laptop copying files running latest Ubuntu and it was stuck as at "Skip / Cancel"
[16:33] <iceroot> Jon--: strace the running process for example to see if it is using a loop
[16:33] <Jon--> iceroot, I killed it already as it was causing my system to practically hang
[16:33] <vahnx> how can i do a "Skip All", similar to holding shift and clicking Yes to make it a "Yes to all" in windows?
[16:34] <vahnx> im copying 30 gigs i have no idea when it will stop copying and ask me to skip a system file or whathaveyou
[16:35] <vahnx> strange, just saw a Skip All button on this file.. maybe i overlooked it before or it was just the "Preparing to copy" that had this option missed
[16:35] <Xunil> Hi everyone, is a ppa for ant 1.2.4 available?
[16:36] <LordOfTime> Xunil:  you may need to look for yourself, we dont normally keep tabs on PPAs
[16:36] <LordOfTime> since they're unofficial
[16:36] <Jon--> iceroot, If I can get the daemon spun up again you want the output?
[16:41] <wdp> say is there some document, which would explain me the differences between 10.04 10.10 12.something etc?
[16:42] <wdp> I only found upgrade information (i.e. documents explaining how to upgrade) but i didn't find something like a changelog.
[16:42] <LordOfTime> wdp:  changelogs
[16:42] <LordOfTime> !changelog | wdp
[16:42] <LordOfTime> bleh
[16:42] <LordOfTime> release notes actually

[16:43] <MadsRC> Is a internet connection really needed to install the 12.04 64bit Server edition?
[16:44] <MadsRC> Seems to get stuck after I "need" to select an ubuntu archive during installation
[16:44] <auronandace> MadsRC: needed, no
[16:44] <iceroot> MadsRC: not when using the server iso
[16:44] <wdp> ah
[16:44] <wdp> ty.
[16:44] <iceroot> MadsRC: but it would be a good idea to run updates after the installation through the internet
[16:44] <MadsRC> Then how do I get past the mirror selection?
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> wdp: I wouldn't worry about 10.10 (maverick) it is EOL
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> MadsRC: just don't connect to the web. Its not necessary
[16:45] <wdp> ActionParsnip, just checking release notes :)
[16:47] <MadsRC> I don't get the option not to go online? Right af defining the keyboard layout it goes straight to interface selection... There's no "don't go online' button
[16:47] <mobhero> hi, difference bw VSFTP AND PFTP, pls help me abt this.
[16:47] <tero_> um this might be a stupid question, but how can i check what is the manufacter of my integrated network card? lsusb doesn't show anyhitng special, and mac adress is from the motherboard manufacter.    Saw that command in my LPI book :D
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> kenjy: may want to make sure the user has ~/.bashrc too :)
[16:55] <test> I have a question?
[16:55] <Cosmoe> hey guys, I'm trying to restore a windows partition in Ubuntu via mounting a dd'ed image of the partition then copying the NTFS file system into a newly created NTFS file system made with mkfs.ntfs
[16:55] <Cosmoe> does anyone know the correct way to do this and keep NTFS extended attributes (e.g. hidden, system)
[16:55] <llutz> ~/.bashrc is not needed to get a working bash-shell, its just handy for some env
[16:56] <kenjy> ActionParsnip and llutz : fixed, tnks
[16:56] <llutz> kenjy: i'd use "adduser" next time you add a user
[16:57] <marian_> witam
[16:57] <llutz> !pl | marian_
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> llutz: thought it would help define the PS1 variable as the prmpt was naked
[17:00] <llutz> ActionParsnip: even with an empty prompt, you'll have a working shell. just eyecandy :)
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> llutz: you can see my thought though :)
[17:00] <stueng> did someone say naked
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> stueng: indeed
[17:01] <llutz> stueng: no, not a mp4-hd-prompt
[17:02] <Ca11um> How can I choose a default action for bash scripts (running in terminal)?
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: if you right click it, it should say 'run in terminal' afaik
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> Ca11um: in theproperties of the file
[17:06] <edgy> Hi, when I do sudo mount /dev/vg<tab> it doesn't autocomplete, what is the reason?
[17:07] <toafan_> edgy: you sure /dev/vg-whatever is mount-able?
[17:07] <toafan_> edgy: I've never heard of a /dev/vg drive.  I could be wrong, though

[17:09] <dustinspringman> hey folks.. i am having issues getting an LG-VL600 4G usb dongle to show up in network manager... usb-devices shows the device in the list, and dmesg also reports it is seeing the device... ideas?
[17:09] <edgy> llutz: this $ sudo mount /dev/mapper/vg00-lv<tab> didn't work either
[17:10] <edgy> llutz, sipio, toafan_: it's strange because I have 3 logical volumes and it autocompletes one of them but not the other two
[17:11] <toafan_> edgy: *shrug*

[17:28] <Jon--> gnome-screenshot isn't working on my system with gnome classic. I know that they changed it upstream to save to ~/Pictures (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669629), but I don't have a ~/Pictures dir at all. Probably just need to mkdir, but where can I report the bug, and what do I do if that doesn't work?
[17:29] <lupin> i just installed ubuntu 12.04, for some reason when i drag windows to either the top or sides, the window does not automatically resize
[17:29] <Jon--> mkdir did not fix the issue. My screenshot is not saved to ~/Pictures as it supposedly is now (changed upstream)
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> Jon--: I'd make the directory and retry
[17:29] <Jon--> ActionParsnip, ^
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> Jon--: where is it saved?
[17:29] <Jon--> It doesn't notify you at all now
[17:29] <Jon--> I have no idea.
[17:30] <Jon--> ActionParsnip, when run from CLI : ** (gnome-screenshot:22898): WARNING **: Unable to use GNOME Shell's builtin screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11. Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.Shell was not provided by any .service files  [that's just a warn though]
[17:32] <lupin_> hey I just installed ubuntu, when i drag a window to the top or sides it's not automatically resizing any help?
[17:33] <lupin_> wow linux mint people were right, 10x more people in here and not a single person who can help... awesome
[17:33] <Jon--> gnome + ubuntu is such a gongshow now, really makes me consider switching distros.  Compositing enabled, no real custom settings.
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> Jon--: in the keyboard settings, is the right key set to the actin of 'take screenshot'?
[17:36] <msch> hey what's the best way to send fake keystrokes to the current X app?
[17:37] <Jon--> ActionParsnip, I doubt that's the issue I can invoke gnome-screenshot from terminal and it does not work either. I'll check though
[17:38] <Jon--> ActionParsnip, Set correctly
[17:40] <Jon--> If you want a tl;dr of the bugs from upstream, GNOME changed behaviour from prompting user to saving directly to ~/Photos without notification. I'm getting no notification or picture save.
[17:40] <WeissLehrer> i have a /run/ folder but there is no /run/network/ <o> networking doesn't work until I '/etc/init.d/networking restart'
[17:41] <JonEdney> Anyone have any fixes for Unity 3D not working?  I installed GnomeClassic and didn't like it, now I can;t go back.
[17:41] <Jon--> JonEdney, 12.04?
[17:42] <JonEdney> Yes.
[17:42] <hidn_shadows> Hey guys, I've had a spare hard drive with my complete install of 10.04 on it that I used for a while. I recently put it into a new computer, and then I realized I didn't remember my password to the main account. I left my school account unlocked though. Any way to change an account password?
[17:42] <JonEdney> Installed Gnome Classic, now when i clieck to go back to Ubuntu 3D, all I get is my background.  No interface, only way out is ctr alt del
[17:43] <Jon--> JonEdney, How did you install gnome-classic?
[17:44] <TheLordOfTime> Jon--: sudo apt-get install gnome-classic
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> Jon--: you can install imagemagick and run:  sleep 5; import ~/screenshot.png
[17:44] <WeissLehrer> it seems I fixed it by creating a symlink from /run/network/ to /var/run/network/
[17:44] <Jon--> ActionParsnip, I have imagemagick... and I can script a screenshot easily enough with it. Why is it broken, are others going to have problems, where do I file a bug report, etc.
[17:44] <JonEdney> Jon--, i did apt-get install gnome-classic
[17:44] <JonEdney> then installed gnome-fallback
[17:45] <Jon--> Okay.
[17:45] <TheLordOfTime> !classic | Jon--
[17:45] <TheLordOfTime> ugh, notunity
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> Jon--: run:   ubuntu-bug gnome-screenshot    and the process will start
[17:45] <docmur> I'm running ubuntu 11.10 and when any client attempts to connect to my mail server i keep getting postfix/smtpd[618]: fatal: dict_open: unsupported dictionary type: mysql:  Is the postfix-mysql package installed?  The issue is that postfix-mysql is installed.
[17:45] <Jordan_U> hidn_shadows: If you weren't using an encrypted home directory then you can just boot into recovery mode (hold shift during boot and select the recovery mode entry) and run "passwd my_username" from a root shell.
[17:45] <Jon--> TheLordOfTime, I'm running classic myself, I wanted to see how he installed it.
[17:45] <Jordan_U> hidn_shadows: You'll still lose your GNOME keyring if you do that though.
[17:45] <Jon--> JonEdney, Were you able to use Unity before installing it?
[17:46] <JonEdney> Jon--, Yes without problem
[17:46] <hidn_shadows> Jordan_U if I'm not looking at using this regularly, just to recover some stuff, would that probably be worth it? NGL, not sure what the keyring is. Saved passwords>
[17:48] <Jordan_U> hidn_shadows: The GNOME keyring is saved passwords, for most people the only saved passwords they have in the GNOME keyring are for Wireless networks.
[17:48] <Jon--> JonEdney, Someone else will have to assist you, sorry.
[17:49] <JonEdney> Thank you for your help Jon--
[17:49] <Jon--> wasted too much time at work got something to do :(
[17:49] <Jon--> no worries
[17:49] <hidn_shadows> Jordan_U alright thanks man! I haven't been here in quite a while, I'll have to start coming back. Thanks!
[17:50] <Jordan_U> hidn_shadows: You're welcome.
[17:53] <linux4u> hi guys, how can I force dirvish to start?
[17:54] <linux4u> as in start backing up. I made the times before, after and equal to now and ran /usr/local/sbin/dirvish-runall and it does not do anything
[17:55] <ballison> this is off topic: but can anyone recommend the name of a good systems forensics company?
[17:56] <hidnshadows> Jordan_U that worked, and I just got flooded with update notices 0.0 But anyways, will having my keyring locked interfere that much? If so, is there a way to reset the password to that too?
[17:57] <leptis> Hi, where's the linux gaming channel?

[17:59] <hypn0> leptis, there are websites
[17:59] <leptis> Nope
[17:59] <leptis> #linux-gaming isn't

[17:59] <Pici> !alis | leptis
[17:59] <hypn0> why do you need a channel :-/ arent you busy playing
[17:59] <rhomboetric> is there any way to mount a truecrypt partition during startup? just like with LUKS? i know there is a way to mount is whenever a user logs in..but for my setup i need it during boot-time :/
[18:00] <mcyyyy> ciao
[18:00] <leptis> There aren't any linux gaming channel?

[18:03] <J11> is there a way for root to access .gvfs ? I want to copy files using root to a network share but root got permission denied
[18:05] <J11> Or is there any way to copy using the rights of one account to access the source and use another user to put it in a destination folder?
[18:06] <Baribal> Hi. Can I run a video instead of having a static desktop background image?
[18:06] <Baribal> J11, sudo and chown -R?

[18:12] <Ca11um> When playing games on Ubuntu, how much of an effect on performance would emulating games with Wine have?
[18:12] <Ca11um> I have a 6-core CPU @ 3.3 GHz, 8 GB RAM and 1 GB VRAM
[18:12] <JJ1234> hi all, Errors were encountered while processing:  crossplatformui E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[18:12] <JJ1234> plz help
[18:13] <jarubyh_> Ca11um: It depends on the game, but most of the time the performance is pretty good, if not quite as fast as Windows.
[18:13] <Ca11um> I mean, I won't be playing games at like 5 fps will I?
[18:14] <Ca11um> As long as there's like 20 fps, I wouldn't complain.
[18:14] <curiousx> Ca11um: playing games that uses OpenGL practically none
[18:14] <Ca11um> Well I use Steam for gaming.....
[18:14] <jarubyh_> Ca11um: Most of the games I've run with Wine were fine.
[18:14] <Ca11um> And looking at the Wine Top-10 Platinum List
[18:15] <Chuck_Norris> playin directx games will loss some FPS
[18:15] <Ca11um> L4D2 and TF2 are 3rd and 4th
[18:15] <JJ1234> Errors were encountered while processing:  crossplatformui E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[18:15] <jarubyh_> Yeah, TF2 :)
[18:15] <Ca11um> So DirectX = Windows - OpenGL = Universal?
[18:15] <JJ1234> plz help
[18:15] <uzna> Hi.
[18:16] <Chuck_Norris> may* loss... i meant
[18:16] <ssta> calexnk: well, more universal than directx
[18:16] <Baribal> Ca11um;: AFAIK, pretty much.
[18:16] <truepurple> I've gotten this coming up automatically a number of times http://i46.tinypic.com/nyae7k.png I also remember seeing a error about VLC install, and I did do a update/upgrade just before all this started happening that included VLC video player
[18:16] <uzna> I've been searching the web for a solution, but many of them I can't get to work, can I explain a problem here to get help?
[18:16] <Baribal> Ca11um, But DirectX (AFAIK) also contains other media, like audio.
[18:16] <miss_ubuntu> hello room
[18:17] <miss_ubuntu> any android sdk users here?
[18:17] <Ca11um> OpenGL is soely graphics?
[18:17] <TheLordOfTime> uzna: ask away, but be mindful of !enter
[18:17] <reisio> miss_ubuntu: probably
[18:17] <uzna> What is !enter?
[18:17] <miss_ubuntu> reissio ... r u the one? :)
[18:17] <reisio> miss_ubuntu: not relevant :p
[18:18] <aka00devon> Wanting to dual-boot Ubuntu with Win7.  Trying to place it on a hdd (doesn't contain C://) I currently use as storage space.  I've partioned two new partions (main and swap) on this storage drive and successfully installed Ubuntu on them.  Won't boot to Ubuntu when the hdd is specified for startup in BIOS.  Any tips?
[18:18] <drecute> logged on as root, how do I change the permission of a user's home directory?
[18:18] <Jordan_U> Ca11um: Yes, but there is also OpenAL for audio. The Direct3D is what better compares to OpenGL.
[18:18] <Baribal> aka00devon, Look at the bootloader, GRUB.
[18:18] <truepurple> aka00devon, did you install ubuntu or win7 first?
[18:18] <Ca11um> I hope Valve hurry up with this Steam port to Linux
[18:18] <ssta> drecute: chmod
[18:18] <aka00devon> win7
[18:18] <drecute> I want to add write access for that user and I keep getting permission denied
[18:19] <ssta> Ca11um: bah...they've been talking about it for 5 years at least and it hasn't happened yet
[18:19] <drecute> ssta: it's giving me permission denied
[18:19] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: Most likely Ubuntu's installer didn't install grub's boot sector to that drive's MBR.
[18:19] <ssta> drecute: pastebin what you're trying and what the output is
[18:19] <uzna> Here's the issue:  On boot, desktop items randomly are there or aren't, I've tried fixing Nautilus with Alt F2, that didn't work, I can't get gconf-editor to open, so I'm not sure how to fix this.  (ubuntu 12.04)
[18:19] <Kornkage4> drecute do the same thing but with sudo
[18:19] <drecute> ssta: I'm logged on a root and it won't allow me change the permissions
[18:20] <Ca11um> ssta: But apparently, it's confirmed to be before 2013
[18:20] <drecute> the command is simply: sudo chmod -R 775 /users/<username>
[18:20] <ssta> drecute: very unusual to be logged on as root..., but okay.
[18:20] <aka00devon> jordan:  Would it be possible to manually change this?
[18:20] <ssta> drecute: what is the output of "id"?
[18:20] <drecute> error is: chmod: changing permissions of /users/<username>: Permission denied
[18:21] <ssta>  /users?  Is this ubuntu?!
[18:21] <drecute> yes
[18:21] <ssta> is /users network mounted?
[18:21] <drecute> yes
[18:21] <drecute> nfs
[18:21] <ssta> that's why then
[18:21] <truepurple> I've gotten this coming up automatically a number of times http://i46.tinypic.com/nyae7k.png I also remember seeing a error about VLC install, and I did do a update/upgrade just before all this started happening that included VLC video player. Can anyone help?
[18:21] <ssta> even as root, you don't own the *underlying* filesystem
[18:21] <uzna> Did I mess something up by installing another dock besides Unity?
[18:21] <Ca11um> ssta: Seems they've got somewhere - http://www.phoronix.net/image.php?id=valve_linux_dampfnudeln&image=valve_linux_l4d21_med

[18:22] <EEe7200> I am logged in as " x " and I wish to encrypt the " z " home folder, but I have this issue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1029080/
[18:22] <ska> How do I get rid of the "submenu" entry in grub.  I ran it before back then.
[18:23] <reisio> s3c244110: boom!
[18:23] <drecute> ssta: what do I do?
[18:23] <uzna> Am I asking this in the wrong place?
[18:23] <ssta> drecute: ask whoever owns the filesystem to change the permissions for you?
[18:24] <s3c244110> sadly, konversation's osd doesn't work as expected...
[18:24] <ssta> drecute: or ask the user...they should have permission
[18:24] <Chuck_Norris> truepurple: upgrade to 12.04 or 11.10 -.-
[18:24] <s3c244110> will quit and try again
[18:24]  * Chuck_Norris Chuck_Norris: aprove ubuntu 12.04
[18:25] <drecute> ssta: all permisssions to the nfs server to that directory has 777
[18:25] <uzna> !enter
[18:25] <EEe7200> Chuck_Norris: can you take a look over my pastebin? am I doing something wrong?
[18:25] <Jordan_U> !tab | aka00devon
[18:25] <EEe7200> is there another way to encrypt the homefolder after install?
[18:26] <truepurple> Chuck_Norris, how do you know I don't already have em? Well I don't, and I don't want to upgrade now, so how can I fix this problem without doing so?
[18:26] <s3c244110> pls msg to me for testing.
[18:26] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: Yes, first if you don't have too many drives try changing the boot order until Ubuntu actually boots.
[18:26] <Chuck_Norris> EEe7200: ye with Truecrypt for example
[18:26] <Chuck_Norris> truepurple: i saw it in the image
[18:26] <reisio> EEe7200: why does there need to be
[18:26] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: Then you can change where grub is installed (you can also do this from a LiveCD, but it's slightly easier to do from the booted Ubuntu install).
[18:27] <uzna> Does anyone know where I can find the solution to the issue I'm having?  I've found nothing useful so far.
[18:27] <s3c244110> Hey, if anyone who can msg to me for testing my irc client.
[18:27] <EEe7200> reisio: for my good night sleep in the night time
[18:27] <aka00devon> Jordan_U: Okay, so on install, should I split Grub off the main hdd and put it on the hdd I us for windows?
[18:27] <reisio> EEe7200: isn't one encryption implementation enough for that?
[18:27] <reisio> s3c244110: ping
[18:27] <uzna> I sent you a msg s3
[18:28] <eagle_eye> uzna: what issue?
[18:28] <EEe7200> reisio: now is not crypted
[18:28] <reisio> EEe7200: one... home dir?
[18:28] <truepurple> Vhuck_Norris, I don't want to upgrade now, so how can I fix this problem without doing so?
[18:28] <reisio> EEe7200: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[18:28] <EEe7200> reisio: I wish to crypt it, but the sys it is already installed http://paste.ubuntu.com/1029080/ yes one home dir " Z "
[18:28] <uzna> desktop items randomly appear or don't appear on the desktop in Ubuntu 12.04 and I tried Alt F2 Nautilus fix and gconf-editor fix won't work cause it won't open.. not sure what to do.
[18:28] <truepurple> Chuck_Norris, how do you know I don't already have em? Well I don't, and I don't want to upgrade now, so how can I fix this problem without doing so?
[18:28] <Chuck_Norris> truepurple: idk idon't think so
[18:29]  * EEe7200 reading links
[18:29] <s3c244110> reisio: still doesn't work:(
[18:29] <Chuck_Norris> truepurple: i saw it in the image you paste
[18:29] <eagle_eye> uzna: do you have myunity configurator?
[18:29] <uzna> Yes.
[18:29] <eagle_eye> uzna: does it help?
[18:29] <delac> truepurple: have you tried this?: http://askubuntu.com/questions/58928/update-manager-says-not-all-updates-can-be-installed
[18:30] <uzna> No.
[18:30] <eagle_eye> desktop is unity?
[18:30] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: If you're planning to keep the drive containing Ubuntu (and not get rid of Ubuntu), then you can install grub's boot sector to all the drives in your system so that you get a grub menu no matter what drive your BIOS boots from. The downside to that is that if you ever get rid of the Ubuntu installation you won't be able to boot from *any* of your drives as grub will be missing critical files.
[18:31] <uzna> I'm not referring to generic icons like Home or Trash, I'm talking about things I put on the desktop, like folders and etc. Like, minecraft, it's just poof..
[18:31] <XiRoN> Guys I running 'screen socat TCP-LISTEN:25565,fork TCP:somednsserver.net:25572' and as soon as a run it, it just says [screen is terminating]
[18:31] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: So which drives you install grub's boot sector to depends on how you want things to work.
[18:31] <eagle_eye> ahh
[18:31] <XiRoN> Anyone know the problem
[18:31] <uzna> I can still get to them through the sidebar home folder, but they are not on the desktop sometimes on boot.
[18:32] <s3c244110> reisio: please msg me again, it should work now.
[18:32] <uzna> And, the dock and sidebar lag out a lot lately, micro freezing.
[18:32] <reisio> s3c244110: work!
[18:33] <uzna> compriz crashes a lot too, could this be the reason?
[18:33] <s3c244110> reisio: doesn't work:(
[18:33] <reisio> uzna: the reason for what?
[18:34] <uzna> I have noticed compriz crash causing things to go poof off the desktop?
[18:34] <uzna> They were there, then it crashes, then everything is laggy and gone after relaunch or reboot.
[18:34] <s3c244110> oh, it's 2:34am, i have to fix it tomorrow. thank you guys
[18:35] <reisio> uzna: you don't need to reboot for that...
[18:35] <uzna> I've tried rebooting to get the things back on the desktop, sometimes it works, most times it doesn't.
[18:37] <uzna> Cairo-dock is laggy, sidebar(Unity) is laggy, missing desktop items, compriz crashes a lot.  Is this a serious problem?
[18:37] <truepurple> delac, I tried following those instructions, I ended up where I unintentionally removed VLC. But I want VLC, its the only video player I have that runs commercial DVDs decently
[18:37] <vooze> Do i need some special package to make "System load indicator" show my SSD-harddrive temperature? Right now its just shows 0. GPU and CPU temp is fine.
[18:38] <aka00devon> Jordan_U: I see.  So if I were to install Grub on the main partition of the hdd I have my Ubuntu partitions, the hdd will boot when selected in BIOS. And, if I'm following you, this won't affect booting from the hdd I have windows installed on.  But if I ever delete the Ubuntu installation, the hdd I had it installed on will be rendered unbootable.
[18:39] <uzna> Also, gconf-editor won't open, so I can't use that.
[18:39] <delac> truepurple: did you manage to install everything else?
[18:39] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: "So if I were to install Grub on the main partition of the hdd I have my Ubuntu partitions" Grub's boot sector should always be installed to the MBR, not to a partition.
[18:40] <sveinse> I have some script which does some loopback mounting and umount when done. However, gnome (classic) pops up a window as soon at detects a newly mounted drive, which interfers with the script. How can I disable this?
[18:40] <truepurple> delac, I guess so
[18:41] <sveinse> It's *really* annoying
[18:41] <aka00devon> Jordan_U: Okay, sorry, I'm trying to understand. Is the MBR cross-hdd or is it on each?
[18:41] <delac> truepurple: well, then just reinstall the vlc.
[18:41] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: Each drive has exactly one MBR (The MBR is the first sector of the drive).
[18:43] <truepurple> delac, Should I do it through software center, or what?
[18:43] <halfmt> I want to enable two-finger swipe on a synaptics touchpad, running 12.04.  geisview shows "Flick" as a recognized gesture, but how do I assign actions to it?  Ginnis not running and throws a "error subscribing to gestures" when I try to run it.  Ideas?
[18:44] <reisio> sveinse: probably by modding gvfs' settings
[18:44] <aka00devon> Jordan_U: I see now, thanks.  When I partitioned the storage drive, it installs Ubuntu on the secondary partition and therefore doesn't see the MBR of the hdd.  So when I install Ubuntu, I should make sure to specify Grub is installed on the primary partition.  Correct me if I'm wrong, or if I'm thinking about partitions incorrectly here.
[18:44] <delac> truepurple: software center, synaptic, apt-get install vlc... all of them should work
[18:45] <gfc> ur
[18:47] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: GRUB has three important pieces (at least for this discussion), the boot sector, the embedded core.img, and the files in /boot/grub.
[18:48] <gaby> hello - any body here can tell me please how to get the videos from youtube
[18:48] <gaby> ?
[18:48] <reisio> gaby: what browser are you using?
[18:48] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: Only the files in /boot/grub/ are part of a partition.
[18:48] <reisio> core.img is for U/EFI only
[18:48] <ssta> gaby: there's a plugin for firefox for it.  I don't remember the name though
[18:49] <Jordan_U> reisio: Completely false.
[18:49] <C-S-B>  I have a raid5 which is 4tb (3x2tb)
[18:49] <C-S-B>  with LVM on top
[18:49] <C-S-B>  the LVM is 2tb and I wish to extend this to 4tb.
[18:49] <truepurple> Delac, and not work any differently?

[18:49] <reisio> gaby: http://www.downloadhelper.net/
[18:50] <Jordan_U> reisio: I'm a grub developer, core,img is most definitely part of grub-pc.
[18:50] <Jordan_U> s/core,img/core.img
[18:50] <reisio> Jordan_U: maybe it's sitting around, but you don't have to put it anywhere yourself
[18:50] <reisio> unlike with EFI
[18:51] <uzna> I'm just gonna reboot over and over until the icons appear and then never turn off my computer.
[18:51] <uzna> I can't find a solution anywhere.
[18:51] <delac> truepurple: should not. I'm not sure, but afaik both synaptic and software center are just guis for apt-get
[18:51] <SajjaD> problem whith installing apps http://paste.ubuntu.com/1029132/
[18:51] <gaby> reisio : i have downloaded the file - but i dont know how to install it
[18:51] <ssta> delac: not quite that simple...
[18:51] <ssta> software centre is...umm, like training wheels
[18:52] <reisio> gaby: you  just install it from within Firefox
[18:52] <reisio> dunno if there's a Chrome version yet, although there are undoubtedly at least equivalents
[18:52] <gaby> reisio please guide me how to do it step by step
[18:52] <delac> ssta: there is no problems usin both?
[18:52] <delac> *using
[18:52] <truepurple> delac, guis is graphical front end, like GUI but a different software design or something?
[18:52] <ssta> delac: as long as you don't try to use them at the same time, it should be fine

[18:53] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: So grub's boot sector should always go in the first sector of a drive (the MBR). There is also usually an area between the MBR and the first paritition (sometimes called the boot track, post-mbr gap, or embedding area) which is used by grub for storing its core.img. Grub's boot sector and embedded core.img need to be on the same drive, but the partition containing /boot/grub/ does *not* need to be on the same drive as contains grub's boot ...
[18:53] <Jordan_U> ... sector + core.img.
[18:54] <ssta> Jordan_U: grub still usesw the post-mbr gap?  I thought that was going away since there are windows DRM schemes that hijack that?  (maybe I'm misremembering though)
[18:54] <SajjaD> can't anyone help me ?
[18:54] <delac> truepurple: if something is gui for something else, the gui uses the same code as the underlying thing to do the task. gui just adds the visual part
[18:55] <Jordan_U> ssta: There are two protections against stupid DRM 1: Avoid using sectors which we can see have been used by known idiotic software 2: Error correction so that grub can still boot even after having only a few sectors overwritten.
[18:55] <delac> truepurple: in this case, there might be further differences, but it is very unlikely that any problems would occur using any of these programs
[18:55] <truepurple> dalac I don't understand what your saying, are guis and gui sort of the same thing?
[18:56] <delac> truepurple: guis is just plural of gui
[18:56] <gaby> reisio please - i went to that page and i cant find what you are telling - please guide me step by step because i have downloaded the file
[18:56] <SuicidalZerg> Linux sucks.
[18:56] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: Since the boot sector and core.img should always go together, I usually just talk about "grub's boot sector".
[18:56] <SuicidalZerg> It's just that everthing else sucks worse.
[18:56] <SuicidalZerg> That is all.
[18:56] <Guest17573> lol
[18:56] <delac> zergrush
[18:56] <SajjaD> no idea about this: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[18:57] <reisio> gaby: there's no file you download, you click the green button to install the extension in Firefox
[18:57] <BlouBlou> Guest17573: just ignore him, he said it because he bought win7
[18:57] <ssta> SajjaD: the real error will be one of the lines above that
[18:57] <aka00devon> Jordan_U: Okay.  So does the Ubuntu install automatically place the boot sector in the correct place in the drive, or must it be specified?
[18:57] <SajjaD> ssta:  it is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1029132/
[18:58] <ssta> BlouBlou: most people have no choice but to buy win7...onme of the annoying things about buying hardware
[18:58] <ssta> SajjaD: erk...looks to me like you have your dpkg database in a *seriosuly* broken state
[18:59] <SajjaD> ssta: what to do now?
[18:59] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: Ubuntu's installer always places grub's boot sector in the MBR of *a* drive, but unfortunately by default it installs grub's boot sector to the drive which appears to be "first" rather than the drive which contains the rest of Ubunut.
[19:00] <reisio> yeah, that could use some work
[19:00] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: So my guess is that right now you have grub's boot sector on one drive, and the rest of Ubuntu on another.
[19:00] <ssta> SajjaD: try reinstalling the packages it says are broken, one by one...it's a long painful process to recover teh dpkg database
[19:01] <gaby> reisio: thank you very much for your support
[19:01] <ssta> SajjaD: or at least, if there's a shortcut, I've never found it
[19:01] <reisio> np
[19:01] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: If you want specifics (which might help clear things up) run boot info script and post a link to the RESULTS.txt it produces here and I can tell you the exact situation you currently have.

[19:05] <MatzeWilkes> Hi all, I have a virtualised 11.04 on a Mac OS host, its network is bridged from my real one, and is IPv6 only. I have a device that interacts over USB and slip, and wants an IPv6 network. I have a programme (tunslip6) that lets me give it a prefix, and that works, but I'd like to bridge the two. I don't even know what to search for, ubuntu bridge ipv6 but the responses I found are way beyond me
[19:06] <MatzeWilkes> Should I give it a prefix then somehow bind the two interfaces, or do I need to provide the prefix from my router?
[19:06] <truepurple> delac, when I try to install VLC, I get the following errors http://i46.tinypic.com/15c45u.png
[19:08] <xangua> truepurple: well looks like the problem is the ppa, try the one in ubuntu repository
[19:09] <Jonii> can you download source code for programs using Software Center?
[19:09] <truepurple> xangua, how?
[19:09] <Pici> Jonii: not to my knowledge, use apt-get for that.
[19:10] <Jonii> Pici: ty
[19:10] <Jonii> Pici: how to do that?
[19:10] <Pici> Jonii: apt-get source packagename
[19:10] <xangua> truepurple: disable or purge the ppa
[19:10] <truepurple> xangua, how?
[19:10] <OerHeks> truepurple, remove the ppa wit ppa-purge, and then install vlc
[19:11] <xangua> truepurple: whatever you preffer...
[19:11] <xangua> !ppa-purge | truepurple
[19:11] <truepurple> OerHeks, So just " ppa-purge" as a command in terminal?
[19:11] <Jonii> Pici: thanks
[19:11] <PARMA> chigbuntu
[19:12] <OerHeks> truepurple, something like " sudo ppa-purge <ppa-name> enter
[19:12] <aka00devon> Jordan_U: Thanks for the help, but unfortunately last night it looks like I've removed the installation to start fresh today.  I'm going to give it another go now, but for future reference, how should I run the boot script you gave me while being on Windows currently, as I am not able to boot to Ubuntu?
[19:14] <truepurple> OerHeks, and how do I determine <ppa-name>?
[19:15] <lotus> hey, I want a popup notifcation in lubuntu for new mail in evolution -- any ideas?
[19:15] <OerHeks> truepurple, you can look that up in your softwarecentre>sourceslist
[19:15] <delac> truepurple: it's probably the vlc daily build ppa. the vlc there seems to require newer libraries than natty can provide
[19:17] <delac> truepurple: did you try to install  vlc from main repository?
[19:17] <c[_]> is there any reason why changing the vga cable ubuntu doesnt reconize the screen?
[19:17] <halfmt> Hi, I'm trying to use setpci to alter device registers to change screen brightness, but it won't work!  setpci runs without error, but the value doesn't change.  Any thoughts/ideas appreciated!
[19:17] <truepurple> delac, How do i do that?
[19:17] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: Boot Info Script needs to be run from a GNU/Linux system, but that system could be a LiveCD/USB. So you can simply use the same CD you used to install Ubuntu but select "Try before installing" (or however the option is worded) to run the script in the Live environment.
[19:18] <truepurple> OerHeks, I don't see a sourceslist in the software center
[19:18] <halfmt> truepurple, it should be under the Edit menu
[19:19] <OerHeks> truepurple, same way as you added the PPA.
[19:19] <truepurple> halfmt, You mean "software sources..."?
[19:19] <aka00devon> Jordan_U: Alright that sounds easy.  Thanks again for the help.
[19:19] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: If you use manual partitioning in the Ubuntu installer you can choose where grub's boot sector will be installed to, and the simplest thing to do is probably to install grub's boot sector to the same drive that the rest of Ubuntu is being installed to (but *not* to a partition).
[19:20] <delac> truepurple: I dont use software center, but at the moment you seem to have selected VLC Daily Build ppa. Try selectin Get Software -> Sound and Video
[19:20] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: You're welcome.
[19:20] <xangua> (14:18:17) truepurple: OerHeks, I don't see a sourceslist in the software center - Edit, Sources
[19:21] <aka00devon> Jordan_U: So you mean the "overall" drive, and not a specific partition?  Say "sdb", not "sdb2".
[19:21] <drecute> how to make all nfs mount sub-directories writable on nfs client?
[19:22] <Jordan_U> aka00devon: Correct.
[19:22] <aka00devon> Jordan_U: Alright, sounds good.  Take care.
[19:23] <JoeyJoeJo> I'm using 10.04.3 Alternate and I'd like to update my kernel. How can I do that?
[19:24] <xangua> JoeyJoeJo: upgrade to precice pangolin
[19:24] <truepurple> OerHeks, I opened "software sources..." and it caused a window with lots of stuff in it to open. None of which seemed to be the answer to what <ppa-name> should be
[19:24] <Jordan_U> JoeyJoeJo: What do you mean by "using 10.04.3 Alternate"? You still haven't installed the system and are getting ready to use the Alternate install CD?
[19:24] <truepurple> delac, where is this "get software"?
[19:25] <JoeyJoeJo> Jordan_U: No, I've installed 10.04.3 alternate and I'm running a 2.6.32 kernel. I'd like to upgrade the kernel to at least 2.6.33
[19:25] <delac> truepurple: just below the File Edit View Help
[19:26] <Jordan_U> JoeyJoeJo: There is no such thing as "10.04.3 alternate". There is the alternate installer, but it installs the same Ubuntu that the Desktop installer does.
[19:26] <truepurple> delac, in the software center?
[19:26] <delac> yes
[19:27] <Jordan_U> JoeyJoeJo: So it sounds like you have a standard Ubuntu 10.04.3 installation. Is that correct?
[19:27] <delac> then select the audio and video section and filter for vlc
[19:27] <JoeyJoeJo> Jordan_U: No, I used the alternate ISO and I have a headless installation
[19:27] <halfmt> truepurple, there should be a list of ppas under "Other Software" when you look at the "Software Sources" dialog.  Also I think delac is referring to your screenshot, where the VLC DailyDev PPA is selected in the left pane.  He's suggesting select the top level in those choices, I think...
[19:27] <delac> yes
[19:28] <JoeyJoeJo> Jordan_U: Let me ask it this way. In 10.04, how can I upgrade to at least a 2.6.33 kernel?
[19:28] <Jordan_U> JoeyJoeJo: OK, in the future just say that you have a headless installation.
[19:28] <JoeyJoeJo> Using CLI, no GUI tools
[19:28] <Jordan_U> JoeyJoeJo: Why do you want a newer kernel?
[19:28] <JoeyJoeJo> Because there is a bug in 2.6.32 that was fixed in 2.6.33
[19:29] <tijko> on pangolin if I want to use a wine with an application on startup how would that work
[19:29] <truepurple> halfmt, There's lots of stuff under "other software", where do I determine what word I need for the command?
[19:29] <tijko> I was thinking it might be possible to add the terminal command in a startup file in /etc
[19:29] <Jordan_U> JoeyJoeJo: Is there a reason you can't upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04?
[19:30] <ironm> hello. Please allow me one question. I have configured second interface (eth1) on ubuntu-server 12.04 (similar to et0 but with another values for ip etc) but when i tray to run "/etc/init.d/networking restart" I am getting an error: Failed to bring up eth1.
[19:30] <ironm> What do you I miss?
[19:30] <ironm> thank you in advance for any hints
[19:30] <ironm> s/et0/eth0/
[19:30] <JoeyJoeJo> Jordan_U: To make a long story short, yes. And the reason isn't so much technical as it is just a requirement. Also, my processor is 32-bit (i586). I want to say I read that 12.04 doesn't support that, but I might be wrong
[19:32] <chowder> hey all I know this has probably been asked 100 times but I really wanna remove unity. I really gave it a fair shot and I honestly can't stand it. Not trying to put down the devs that worked hard on unity its just not for me. I'd rather have just a plain gnome3 setup. Do I just uninstall unity and instal gnome or will that cause problems?
[19:32] <Jordan_U> JoeyJoeJo: Which bug in particular? It's possible to install an upstream kernel from the kernel "ppa" but it could have a lot of side effects which might cause problems.
[19:33] <razputin> Hi. I was wondering where I can find help for my ubuntu based os
[19:34] <OerHeks> chowder, you can go 'back' to the original gnome3, and install it in your current ubuntu
[19:34] <OerHeks> !nounity | chowder
[19:34] <ssta> razputin: depends what you mean by "based"
[19:34] <chowder> OerHeks: I'm using 12.04.
[19:34] <sarsaeol_> razputin: what is the name of your OS
[19:35] <razputin> ssta, It's a derivate or so. Pinguy OS.basically a netbook edition from ubuntu.based on natty whale.
[19:35] <chowder> OerHeks: I'm a little apprehensive because I've changed UIs in Ubuntu in the past and it ends up breaking everythign
[19:35] <ssta> razputin: try their website?
[19:35] <wildcard-ger> hey all
[19:35] <neure> hello
[19:35] <PARMA> chiga vp ushafika
[19:35] <neure> im trying to configure latest crosstool-ng
[19:36] <wildcard-ger> just installed ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, always had problems with older versions, but 12.04 works like a charm really , im very happy with it
[19:36] <neure> and i keep getting missing required tool: makeinfo
[19:36] <neure> where can i get that for precise?
[19:36] <wildcard-ger> there is only one thing kinda annoying me
[19:36] <OerHeks> razputin, Ubuntu does not support derivated like pinguyos
[19:36] <chowder> OerHeks: your advice applies to 11.04 and 11.10. I'm on 12.04. Is it still the same process/
[19:37] <Jordan_U> JoeyJoeJo: What model CPU do you have? If it's from this milenium it's probably i686 and will work with Ubuntu 12.04.
[19:37] <OerHeks> chowder, the advice is for 12.04.
[19:37] <JoeyJoeJo> Jordan_U:AMD Geode. It's i586
[19:37] <JoeyJoeJo> LX800 I think
[19:37] <razputin> Hm. I thougt so. No support for every derivate or just for the little/uncommon ones?
[19:37] <chowder> OerHeks: ok. can I uninstall the unity package without incident?
[19:38] <ssta> neure: sudo apt-get install texinfo
[19:38] <wildcard-ger> i have a i3-2330M with integrated gfx ( intel hd 3000 ) and im not sure if it has been properly detected. since when i go to system -> information, it tells me "GFX - Unknown"
[19:38] <OerHeks> chowder, i would leave the unity files like that, although i have no experience with unity removal after installing gnome-panel
[19:39] <chowder> OerHeks: ok, will do
[19:40] <IronBuntu> Hello, I own a NTFS partition which I mount trough fstab. All good. My question is: What is the best way to show/mount the 'Music' folder in that NTFS partition into my Music folder, in my /home directory. Thanks
[19:41] <h00k> IronBuntu: you can do that in fstab as well
[19:41] <IronBuntu> h00k, oh really? Could you give me an example?
[19:42] <h00k> IronBuntu: now that I think of it, I ended up linking /home/Music to my /storage/Music folder, I didn't use fstab
[19:43] <IronBuntu> h00k, so you used the ln -s command?
[19:43] <schultza> how do i change my boot image (ubuntu with the 4 dots)?
[19:43] <h00k> IronBuntu: yep
[19:44] <IronBuntu> h00k, the problem is that it will create a Music folder inside my Music folder
[19:44] <IronBuntu> isn't it?
[19:44] <wylde_> IronBuntu h00k: in fstab you would simply use your Music folder as the mount point. (If your /home/Music directory is empty)
[19:44] <h00k> IronBuntu: It depends on your synatx really
[19:44] <h00k> IronBuntu: ^ wylde_ is correct
[19:45] <wylde_> IronBuntu: you can also simply replace your ~/Music directory with a link
[19:45] <roasted> hello
[19:45] <thebrasse> i can't seem to get my .xsession file to run. i have changed my window manager to qtile, but that shouldn't mess things up, should it?
[19:45] <IronBuntu> wylde_ h00k, it would work only if the partition cointained only music files, isn't it?
[19:46] <roasted> Question - When you fire up Gimp 2.8 in 12.04, you can select single window mode. When you make that change... does anybody know which file you end up editing?
[19:46] <GeoGeek> I have spent two hours googling for answers to a question but none seem to help...setting up file server on ubuntu server 12.04 for use by Windoze clients. Using Samba. Browsing from a Win client is so slow you could bring the bits across on a wheelbarrow faster. Seems to be a common problem..
[19:46] <wylde_> IronBuntu: doesn't matter what is in it, it mounts that partition to that directory. The contents don't really matter.
[19:46] <h00k> IronBuntu: you can mount /windows/Users/username/Music to /home/Music, as an example, contents don't matter
[19:46] <h00k> (as an example)
[19:46] <IronBuntu> wylde_, yeah, that wont do for me
[19:47] <IronBuntu> h00k, okay
[19:47] <h00k> IronBuntu: er, /home/username/Music, or whatever you're looking for
[19:48] <IronBuntu> hook, oh, really? So, instead of setting by its UUID, I go with the absolute path?
[19:48] <wylde_> IronBuntu: stay with the UUID, just adjust the mount point :)
[19:48] <h00k> IronBuntu: stick with the UUID
[19:49] <IronBuntu> h00k, so... it would go like: UUID=xxx\dirs\Music /mount/point?
[19:49] <Sk|p> howdy guys, just wanted to ask something.. any idea what seems to be the problem why i'm getting such error everytime i do $sudo apt-get upgrade/dist-upgrade? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1029204/ tnx
