[07:27] <DJones> pndemc_: Yes you will, there's also #ubuntu-server
[07:27] <r00t__> ^
[07:27] <yuka> i am saying this because i think its connected somehow, i remember last week i could print normally and login to desktop normally.. then today suddenly i couldnt print anymore, neither my coworker from dif computer.. then i wanted to login to desktop to check stuff and i noticed this
[07:27] <pndemc_> okay great, thanks guys
[07:28] <WXZ> ActionParsnip: and what's the way to list the full path of the files?
[07:28] <WXZ> nvm, now I'm just being lazy
[07:29] <Kartagis> WXZ: or ls *.mp3
[07:30] <WXZ> Kartagis: no, following ls with a random string (foo) makes ls look for the directory foo
[07:30] <pndemc_> I will be using "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" to install a gui on my server, but then I need to install a VNC program, correct?
[07:31] <Kartagis> pndemc_: vnc server or client?
[07:31] <Kartagis> iirc, they both come with
[07:31] <pndemc_> the server is somewhere else, starting off I will only have SSH access
[07:32] <pndemc_> I need to take it from there to accessing it with VNC or something simmilar
[07:32] <pndemc_> what is the best method?
[07:33] <Kartagis> pndemc_: you use vino as the server, which comes with the installation
[07:33] <Kartagis> and vinagre as the client, which also does
[07:34] <Kartagis> but you still need someone to allow you to vnc in by setting the appropriate options
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: why not just install the desktop OS if that's what you intend? The whole idea of the server OS is to be desktopless
[07:35] <Kartagis> pndemc_: http://uppix.net/8/b/9/b628e93a175dac29f38bb2db34fae.png
[07:35] <pndemc_> the server kernal is optimized for server tasks
[07:35] <Kartagis> these are the defaults
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: what are you accessing the server to achieve exactly?
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: and what is the task of the server?
[07:36] <pndemc_> hosting game servers
[07:36] <pndemc_> tf2
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: so why does that need a desktop?
[07:36] <nocturnal_> i love tf2
[07:37] <pndemc_> I'm not knowledgeable enough to do it by SSH only
[07:37] <nocturnal_> better learn if you want to run a server
[07:37] <r00t__> I know I asked before but the websites given by the bot did not help much. Does anyone know where I can get unity themes?
[07:37] <suborbital> hola ubuntu
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: but won't you be doing most work in terminal....?
[07:38] <granger> Hey, what reasons might cause Ubuntu Restricted Hardware Installer doohickey to not work?
[07:38] <granger> http://pastebin.com/5L7VdhpB
[07:39] <granger> this is my /var/log/jockey.log

[07:39] <abhinav_debugger> hi........we just installed xchat..... its working in mine, but not in my friend's vaio laptop.. its not giving the channel selection option.........please help
[07:40] <Monotoko> abhinav_debugger, do you need the channel selection? What channel are you trying to reach?
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> abhinav_debugger: tried renaming the xchat config folder in the user's$HOME
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> granger: what driver are you installing?
[07:40] <abhinav_debugger> #gnome
[07:41] <granger> Broadcom STA Wireless Driver
[07:41] <Monotoko> abhinav_debugger, you can just run "/join #gnome" when you're connected to the freenode server "/server irc.freenode.net"
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> granger: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
[07:42] <abhinav_debugger> @monotoko thanks.. i will try
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: see how you don't need much skill when there are guides like that around...
[07:45] <yuka> ActionParsnip , any idea what i could do?
[07:47] <pndemc_> ActionParsnip, alright you've convinced me, I'll try command line only
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> yuka: no idea, maybe others can advise
[07:47] <pndemc_> switching the server from windows fyi
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: it will keep your server more secure, reboot faster, faster updates and so on...
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: not used Server 2008 core then :)
[07:48] <pndemc_> ActionParsnip, yeah Windows 2008 64
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: core, no gui
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: all CLI
[07:49] <pndemc_> ActionParsnip, gui on windows yes
[07:49] <yuka> ActionParsnip what if i try to update to 12.04
[07:49] <pndemc_> ActionParsnip, has access via remote desktop
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: no, core is windows without a GUI
[07:49] <yuka> does then apache2 and stuff like that stop working?
[07:49] <pndemc_> ActionParsnip, ah okay,
[07:49] <abhinav_debugger> thanks for earlier........ 1 more issue: i tried installing jhbuilder by https://live.gnome.org/JhbuildOnUbuntu..........but on typing "jhbuild build" it gives error...ERROR IS"I: unknown keys defined in configuration file: autogenargs_docs......... jhbuild build: could not download http://git.gnome.org/cgit/jhbuild/plain/modulesets/gnome-2.30.modules: HTTP Error 404: Not found"
[07:50] <pndemc_> any suggestions for an SSH client?
[07:50] <geirha> pndemc_: the default one? ssh
[07:51] <pndemc_> windows has a default ssh?
[07:52] <geirha> oh, windows. cygwin + openssh or putty
[07:53] <WXZ> how can I open an application in terminal and then not have it give me the output of that application, just a new bash line?
[07:54] <geirha> WXZ: app >/dev/null 2>&1 &
[07:54] <keepguessing> How to find out what ldap server is configured ?
[07:56] <Pinsent> where in the file system is your inbox located?
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: ubuntu comes with openssh-client by default
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> pndemc_: you can use putty with ease
[07:57] <Monotoko> Pinsent, we need a little more detail... what program are you using? Is it your own mail server?
[08:02] <Pinsent> Monotoko I used Evolution Mail
[08:03] <Pinsent> Monotoko, the mail server is not mine it's the university's
[08:06] <mtrd`> Hi ! i'm currently doing the update from Ubuntu 11.04 to 12.04, i'm asked to help to configure libc6. It asks me to restart : rsync, cups, cron, atd. How can i do that ? Is it normal ?
[08:08] <gaelfx> is it normal when making an iso with Brasero for the drive to spin up but not report speed or progress?
[08:09] <gaelfx> test
[08:09] <dr_willis> moo
[08:09] <khussein78> i need to allow google chrome to open .jnlp files automatically, i read some articles but it seems it is complicated, is there a way to change open with to custom command
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: could use dd instead...
[08:10] <iceroot> mtrd`: for a new version of libc6 there is only a complete restart
[08:10] <gaelfx> khussein78: can you right-click the file and set the Open With application?
[08:11] <iceroot> mtrd`: for a new libc6, kernel and dbus package you always need a complete reboot
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> mtrd`you can only upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. You can then upgrade to 12.04
[08:11] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: I got some kind of i/o error when I tried DD
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: try dd_rescue then, sounds like a bad CD or bad drive
[08:11] <mtrd`> iceroot, i clicked forward and it seems to go well. A system restart is scheduled, thanks :)
[08:12] <mtrd`> gaelfx, okay, i was not sure about versions! thanks :)
[08:12] <dr_willis> gaelfx:  you are making a iso file from a  real cd? or the other way around?
[08:12] <gaelfx> I have a feeling it's my SATA on the mb that's a problem, I can't have 2 devices connected or neither work, but the thing is I can play the VCD in SMPlayer just fine (though VLC seems to have a problem with it)
[08:13] <gaelfx> dr_willis: iso from CD
[08:13] <dr_willis> gaelfx:  and its just some  VCD, not a comercial DVD or gamedisk or anything weird..
[08:13] <jaymah> anna
[08:14] <gaelfx> is there any way to get more info about the error in dd? would it be in the syslogs?
[08:14] <yuka> guys
[08:14] <gaelfx> dr_willis: correct, just a VCD my taiji teacher gave me
[08:14] <yuka> if i update from 11.10 to 12.04
[08:14] <yuka> does my apache2 and mysql etc
[08:14] <yuka> reset?
[08:14] <yuka> will it work after update?
[08:15] <dr_willis> gaelfx:  id try some video ripper tool to rip it to video file format, not a full ISO.  it may report better info  on the error if it cant read it. dmesg command  output may menton any erroirs also.
[08:15] <gaelfx> dr_willis: ok, I'll try that then, thanks
[08:15] <gaelfx> any suggestions for what to rip it with?
[08:16] <dr_willis> dozens of tools in the repos.
[08:16] <dr_willis> arista, winff, handbreak
[08:16] <dr_willis> many more i cant rember the names of that can rip dvds also.
[08:16] <gaelfx> which would you say has the nicest gui? :D
[08:17] <dr_willis> gui dosent matter.. its how well it works that matters
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> yuka: try not hitting ENtER after every 3rd word
[08:17] <dr_willis> fire up package manager search for dvd rip, or rip. or video encode
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> !rip
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> gaelfx: i believe vlc can make videos of DVDs etc
[08:19] <guest-Ve37p0> can't log in after upgrade to 12.04
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> yuka: if it does, just restore settings etc from bsckup
[08:19] <gaelfx> ActionParsnip: yeah, but like I said, VLC has problems reading it for some reason, so I don't think it'll work too well
[08:20] <suborbital> welp.
[08:20] <suborbital> ill adminster tomorrow
[08:20] <dr_willis> if video players have issues playing the disk. it mayh be a dirty/bad/faulty disk or dricvce
[08:20] <dr_willis> drive
[08:20] <StarryNight> vlc keep crashing on kubuntu for me
[08:24] <_Ethan_> hi, can someone give recommend me a book/blog/youtube lessons for learning linux? I mainly want to be able to work fluent under linux as i do under windows, thanks!!!
[08:24] <DJones> !manual | _Ethan_
[08:24] <_Ethan_> DJones,  ok
[08:24] <shredding> Hey.
[08:25] <shredding> I've written my first etc/init/myjob.conf
[08:25] <shredding> Do I have to reboot before I can do start myjob?
[08:25] <DJones> !terminal | _Ethan_ The last link on this info should be useful as well,
[08:25] <juniour> _Ethan_ use man to know detail about command
[08:26] <shredding> Or how do I make it accessible? I get "Unknown job" on call.
[08:27] <khussein78> gaelfx, right but i cannot find my application there, how can i added it
[08:27] <Pinsent> what is the logic behind naming the hard disks sda sda1 sda2 and sda5?
[08:29] <dr_willis> scsi drive A, scsi drive B   and so forthe... hdX would be the older ide drives.. but i think they use the sd# names now a days allso
[08:29] <dr_willis> !blkid
[08:29] <Pinsent> ok the cipher is the parition
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: sda1, sda2 and sda5 aren't hard disks
[08:29] <Pinsent> but why does it skip 3 and 4?
[08:30] <Pinsent> ActionParsnip?
[08:30] <dr_willis> it dosent skip them.
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: you can only have 4 primary partitions on a drive
[08:30] <hydralisque> samut
[08:30] <dr_willis> primary partions are 1 through 5
[08:30] <hydralisque> salut
[08:30] <dr_willis> primary partions are 1 through 4
[08:30] <dr_willis> 5 would be a logical on an extgended partition
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: these are named sda1, sda2, sda3 and  sda4
[08:30] <Pinsent> ActionParsnip not on my PC they're not
[08:31] <cell0> What should one do when their second display just stops working? Display manager doesn't detect the display even though it's plugged in (and worked a few hours ago)
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: the exteded partition is always sda5 and the first logical partition is sda6
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: sda  is the drive itself
[08:31] <dr_willis> if they were all primaries they would be ;)
[08:31] <zalgor> Hello. I have a problem with the '<IP_ADDRESS> hostname' line in /etc/hosts and some programs. I modified a script for if-up.d (found via www) to delete the <IP_ADDRESS> line and add a typical 'IP hostname' entry. It seems to work. But I am just asking if there is not a different mechanism (a ubuntu solution) to handle this problem.
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: if you have all primary partitions you will have sda[1-4] only
[08:31] <Pinsent> what's the difference between a primary parition and an extended parition?
[08:32] <Pinsent> partition *
[08:32] <hydralisque> bonjour a til des français???
[08:32] <dr_willis> time to check the wikipedia entry on drive partioning...
[08:32] <Pinsent> !fr
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: extended partitions hold logical partitions so you can have more than 4 partitions on a drive
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: the actual speed and storage etc is the same, its just how they are handled
[08:33] <iceroot> i have two users with the same password, both have different hashes in /etc/shadow. why? i cant find any info about a salt in that context
[08:33] <scarleo> Hi, Update manager reports that package information was last updated 7 days ago even thoough I've manuall checked it today, why and what can I do?
[08:33] <zalgor> iceroot, usually there is a salt. look man 5 passwd
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: same in Windows. People think 'C drive' is a drive, but it's not, its a partition. If you partition a single drive into 2 you will get a 'c drive' and a 'd drive' when there is infact only one drive, just 2 partitions
[08:34] <Pinsent> ok
[08:34] <Pinsent> but one question: why do I get this?
[08:34] <Pinsent> I cannot
[08:34] <Pinsent> sudo mount -o dev,rw /dev/sda2 ohs2
[08:34] <Pinsent> NTFS signature is missing.
[08:34] <Pinsent> Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Invalid argument
[08:34] <Pinsent> The device '/dev/sda2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
[08:34] <Pinsent> Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
[08:34] <FloodBot1> Pinsent: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:34] <iceroot> zalgor: nothing but its the german mangage. salt and salz are not matching in the manpage-search
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: is the partition healthy?
[08:34] <Pinsent> can I talk?
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: and please use a pastebin in future
[08:34] <Pinsent> the partition is healthy yes
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: yes you can talk
[08:35] <iceroot> zalgor: man crypt :) there it is
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: when did you last chkdsk the pasrtition?
[08:35] <Pinsent> I don't remember
[08:35] <dr_willis> pastebin output of 'sudo fdisk -l' Pinsent
[08:35] <zalgor> iceroot, yes, I just found it too :-)
[08:35] <iceroot>        salt is a two-character string chosen from the set [a–zA–Z0–9./].  This string is used to perturb the algorithm in one of 4096 different ways.
[08:35] <AdvoWork> Hi there, i'm doing nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>/24  which shows all up ips. Can I just get the actual IP? rather than host .. is up (... latency) and so on?
[08:35] <Pinsent> I want to install 12.04 over everything
[08:35] <Pinsent> I just wanted to check if there were any files on sda2 and sda5
[08:35] <Pinsent> and then there is sda, what is that?
[08:36] <Pinsent> let me try mounting the other partitions
[08:36] <iceroot> zalgor: ah, salt is the UID
[08:36] <Pinsent> sda5 is swap space
[08:37] <iceroot> salt is a character string starting with the characters "$id$" followed by a string terminated by "$":
[08:37] <Pinsent> and I don't have a valid NTFS for sda2
[08:37] <taquter> Excuse me, I have an Ubuntu-related question.
[08:37] <taquter> How to shot web??
[08:38] <dr_willis> shot web means?
[08:38] <Pinsent> ActionParsnip sorry for rambling
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: I suggest you boot to a Windows system and chkdsk it
[08:40] <lilian> ja
[08:40] <Pinsent> ActionParsnip it says sda5 is used as swap space, that's normal, right?
[08:40] <Pinsent> nothing valuable can be on it
[08:41] <dr_willis> !swap
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>/24 | grep 192 | awk {'print $5'}
[08:42] <Pinsent> what does it mean if your device has no valid NTFS?
[08:42] <dr_willis> means it dosent think the filesystem is a NTFS. either you did a typo. or its a messed up ntfs
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: i believe in a default install, yes but you may have setup partitions yourself. You can check with:   sudo parted -l
[08:43] <noriaki> hello
[08:43] <Pinsent> normally if you have sda sda1 sda2 and sda5 everything is stored on sda1 right?
[08:43] <Pinsent> what is sdb?
[08:43] <dr_willis> Pinsent:  depends on how you set upo the disk and system
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: again, depends how you setup the partitions, there is no set rule
[08:43] <noriaki> no
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: sdb is a 2nd physical drive
[08:43] <Pinsent> but it is not inside my PC now!
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: what isn't!?
[08:44] <Pinsent> my 2nd drive!
[08:44] <noriaki> sdb?
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: are you booting to ubuntu from USB?
[08:44] <Pinsent> no from a live cd
[08:44] <Pinsent> and now I want to install it
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: you can see what it is with:   sudo fdisk -l
[08:45] <lilian_> can someone explain in details the Linus law"Many eyes make all bigs shadow"
[08:45] <dr_willis> you may wnt to pastebin  the  output of sudo fdisk -l also  pin
[08:45] <Pinsent> W95 FAT32?
[08:45] <Pinsent> what is that?
[08:46] <dr_willis> Pinsent:  a fat32 partition....
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: not obvious?
[08:46] <AdvoWork> Hi there, i'm doing nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>/24  which shows all up ips. Can I just get the actual IP? rather than host .. is up (... latency) and so on?
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: I replied to that...
[08:47] <dr_willis> AdvoWork:  pipe the  output through  awk, or some grep lines or perl code to filter it how you want
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> (09:41:56) ActionParsnip: AdvoWork: nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>/24 | grep 192 | awk {'print $5'}
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: did you not see that?
[08:48] <Pinsent> there is one floppy disk drive in my pc, is that it?
[08:48] <AdvoWork> ActionParsnip, i'd scrolled up the window, i didn even then i'd asked the question lol. thankyou
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> Pinsent: that will be /dev/fd0
[08:48] <dr_willis> grep and awk.. 2 points.. now do it in  python for extra credit. ;)
[08:48] <AdvoWork> ActionParsnip, that prints just (0.0076s etc no ip
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: my bashfu is only just getting better
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: change the number in the print to see different bits
[08:49] <Nurat> helloooow
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: works here but I'm using quantal so may be a factor
[08:49] <dr_willis> Awk-fu skills come in handy
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: working on it :)
[08:53] <Pinsent> I just opened my PC, it has only one physical hard drive in it and one floppy disk reader, how can there be sda and sdb?
[08:53] <CatsBacon[F][10]> why does removing isc-dhcp-client also ask to remove ubuntu-minimal
[08:53] <gaelfx> I would guess sda is the hard drive and sddb the floppy disk reader
[08:53] <CatsBacon[F][10]> and would that break anything
[08:54] <gaelfx> CatsBacon[F][10]: because ubuntu-minimal is a meta-package, and isc-dhcp-client is one of the packages that it installs (and therefore depends on)
[08:54] <Pinsent> fd0 is the floppy
[08:55] <gaelfx> CatsBacon[F][10]: it's shouldn't break anything, no
[08:55] <CatsBacon[F][10]> kthx/
[08:55] <gaelfx> Pinsent: sudo fdisk -l should tell you what it is
[08:56] <chicognu> i have several partitions, they are /boot /system /swap /home, and I want encrypt it all! How i should do that ?
[08:57] <LenovoG470> greetings, I use File Types Editor hoping to associate the Chromium icon with the plain html file type, but nothing happened
[08:57] <gaelfx> chicognu: it's traditional to just encrypt /home, there's not many reasons to encrypt anything else
[08:59] <chicognu> gaelfx, my schizophrenia won't let my /system and /boot unencrypted
[08:59] <chicognu> ;)
[08:59] <gaelfx> is it even possible to encrypt / ? I think it would be impossible to boot your system then
[09:00] <chicognu> gaelfx, truecrypt encrypt the hole drive in Windows, but not in Linux :(
[09:00] <LenovoG470> @ActionParsnip, good day

[09:16] <Steven_O> Hello! I need help working flash on my Internet browser. Sorry if i'm being rude here!
[09:17] <geirha> Steven_O: Open the software center, search for flash, install
[09:18] <dr_willis> hope it works.. ;)
[09:18] <dr_willis> disable hardware accelleration in flash settings if everyone looks blue.
[09:18] <Steven_O> i did nothing  came up :(
[09:18] <geirha> What Ubuntu release are you using?

[09:20] <_Ethan_> one last thing, i think im going to install ubuntu in a usb , any problem with 4 gb?
[09:20] <_Ethan_> 16 gb ?
[09:20] <dr_willis> Id use at least a 8gb flashdrive.
[09:20] <dr_willis> 16 is very  useable.. if yoou dont go overbord with stuff
[09:21] <dr_willis> and keep your apt cache clean ;)
[09:21] <ActionParsnip1> can use autoclean then you have no worries :)
[09:21] <Steven_O> im not sure really where can i find the version i am using
[09:22] <dr_willis> !version
[09:22] <_Ethan_> ok dr_willis , im concerned if there would be any problem with 32 gb
[09:22] <ActionParsnip1> Steven_O: in a terminal (Press CTRL+ALT+T to run one), run:  lsb_release -sc     what is output?
[09:22] <_Ethan_> because if not, iĺl go for that
[09:22] <ActionParsnip1> _Ethan_: thats tonnes of space dude, you'll be fine
[09:22] <dr_willis> _Ethan_:  if 16 workd well.. 32 would be betterer ;)
[09:22] <_Ethan_> yeah, but you know, sometimes you can have problems with access
[09:22] <dr_willis> if you controll yourself.
[09:23] <dr_willis> with access? Huh?
[09:23] <Steven_O> it says oneiric
[09:23] <_Ethan_> i mean, sometimes i have seen things not working properly because they are "not normal", and i wanted to be sure of that, it seems it is ok
[09:23] <_Ethan_> :)
[09:23] <_Ethan_> with not normal i mean non-standard sorry
[09:23] <dr_willis> i run full installs from flash drives or extrernal usb  hds all the time.
[09:24] <geirha> Steven_O: Hm. That's 11.10, the second newest release. It should have the adobe flash plugin available from the software center
[09:25] <_Ethan_> dr_willis,  do you use to run from ubuntu installed in usb ?
[09:25] <buddha_> hola
[09:25] <dr_willis> i do normal installs to usb flash drives or usb hard drives _Ethan_ ..   good way to test out the betas
[09:25] <oal> I'm trying to install Gimp from the Ubuntu software center in 12.04, but I get errors about package dependency issues. "Depends: libc6 (>= 2.15) men 2.15-0ubuntu10 " among others. Any ideas?
[09:26] <_Ethan_> ok
[09:26] <yuka> hey , guys i was upgrading ubuntu from 11.10 to 12.04, it asked me if i wanna keep old apache2 config, i selected "D" to show me differences, but then it opened both config files, i didnt know how to exit so i pressed ctrl +c, now the upgrade doesent continue .. how can i continue it?
[09:26] <Steven_O> whats the name of the flash program if i mind asking?
[09:26] <Steven_O> to download in the software center
[09:26] <dr_willis> Steven_O:  somhing like flashplugin-installer
[09:26] <geirha> Steven_O: The package is called flashplugin-installer if I remember correctly
[09:27] <dr_willis> searxch for 'flash' should show it
[09:27] <_Ethan_> dr_willis,  one last thing, with the Windows Installer, could i install ubuntu and after uninstall completely from windows?
[09:27] <dr_willis> !info flashplugin-installer
[09:27] <_Ethan_> im asking this because i will be using a laptop that is not mine
[09:27] <_Ethan_> and i would like to be able to uninstal ubuntu after
[09:27] <dr_willis> _Ethan_:  the wubi tool puts a ubuntu entry in the add/remove progam section of windows..
[09:28] <dr_willis> if you wan tto test out ubuntu, id use flash drive. or virtualbox. Wubi is a pain
[09:29] <_Ethan_> dr_willis,  i would like to work with ubuntu
[09:29] <_Ethan_> and after remove it completely
[09:29] <dr_willis> flash drive woul dbe  easiest route.
[09:30] <geirha> _Ethan_: Why not just make a persistant live USB?
[09:30] <_Ethan_> geirha,  would go slower isnt it ?
[09:30] <geirha> Possibly, but it's the easiest one
[09:30] <_Ethan_> dr_willis,  but in that case, wouldnt go with less performance than installing it in the laptop ?
[09:30] <_Ethan_> mmm, ok
[09:30] <dr_willis> you want ease of removal...  usb is about as easy as it gets
[09:31] <dr_willis> plua you can use it on other pcs then
[09:31] <Steven_O> allright then thank you im downloading it now as we speak.
[09:31] <_Ethan_> ok
[09:32] <giuseppe_> ciao   a tutti
[09:32] <bohemian9485> _Ethan_, using live usb you can see if your laptop is compatible with ubuntu
[09:32] <giuseppe_> hello
[09:32] <_Ethan_> ill go for that then
[09:35] <gaelfx> is there a way to make SMPlayer use GPU acceleration where possible?
[09:35] <gaelfx> with an ATI card that is
[09:37] <Steven_O> well ive downloaded the flash plugin installer ran youtube on firefox nothing. :( am i doing anything wrong? should i reset my computer after ive downloaded the installer?
[09:37] <LenovoG470> hello, anyone how to associate the Chromium icon with the plain html file? I tried using file types editor, no can do.
[09:38] <gaelfx> Steven_O: shouldn't be necessary to reset, but is the plugin actually enabled?
[09:38] <gaelfx> I think if you navigate to about:plugins it should show whether the plugin is loaded or not
[09:38] <Steven_O> by enabled you mean a green check mark beside it?
[09:38] <gklwilliam> Hello
[09:38] <dr_willis> i found a firefox extension  that lets me wath youtube videos in the Firefox VLC plugin :) no need for flash  at all. i think i bookmarked it at my delicious.com/dr_willis page if anyone else wants to try it
[09:39] <gaelfx> Steven_O: something of that nature. yes
[09:39] <serdotlin> Steven_0: check from firefox url bar, type about:plugins, you shoud see shockwave flash. If not, something wrong there...
[09:40] <haryo> someone can help me with wine ?
[09:40] <haryo> please
[09:40] <gaelfx> dr_willis: that is awesome :D I would love to use VLC plugin rather than Adobe's crap
[09:40] <galacticboy> Vlc plugin plays youtube videos?
[09:40] <gaelfx> !ask | haryo
[09:40] <serdotlin> haryo:what version of wine?
[09:40] <haryo> okay
[09:40] <gaelfx> galacticboy: VLC can play flv files
[09:40] <haryo> new version from ubuntu software center
[09:41] <gaelfx> er, some of them anyhow
[09:41] <serdotlin> the new version is 1.5...
[09:41] <Steven_O> well i checked about:plugins as you said and it says flash is upto date but still can watch any youtube vids
[09:41] <gaelfx> !info wine
[09:41] <haryo> 1.4 here
[09:41] <galacticboy> I know vlc plays anything. I mean the plugin of firefox plays flash video?
[09:41] <haryo> i have install GTA San Andreas
[09:41] <dr_willis> the plugin i use 'flashpluginreplacer' can also grab  /convert the flash to other formats  - not tried it on sitges other then youtube
[09:42] <haryo> and i run  the GTA, and get this = http://www.indojpg.com/images/526Screenshot.png
[09:42] <dr_willis> galacticboy:  the vlc plugin for ff is used by the flash video replacer plugin
[09:42] <haryo> sorry if i share photo link here
[09:42] <gaelfx> galacticboy: vlc plugin can play anything VLC can, but setting it up to be used for flash content is probably a little tricky
[09:42] <altan> I need help choosing a network card for my pc. Could someone help me choose?
[09:43] <galacticboy> How to setup then?
[09:43] <Steven_O> dr willis ill try that then but will i need to remove any flash plugins to run that
[09:43] <dr_willis> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashvideoreplacer/
[09:43] <altan> I need help choosing a network card for my pc. Could someone help me choose one that will work well with ubuntu and have no problems?
[09:43] <gaelfx> !repeat | altan
[09:44] <dr_willis> altan:  depends on your needs...
[09:44] <dr_willis> its more about the chipset then the brand of card
[09:44] <altan> the one i have now is having serious issues and needs to be returned
[09:44] <haryo> !ask | haryo
[09:44] <gaelfx> altan: are you trying to do something special or is it just for normal use?
[09:45] <galacticboy> Ok thank you :)
[09:45] <altan> gaelfx, it's for normal use and wireless internet connection
[09:45] <haryo> someone help me with wine please ..
[09:45] <gaelfx> altan: so you're looking for a wireless card then?
[09:45] <dr_willis> !appdb | haryo
[09:45] <altan> gaelfx, yes
[09:45] <Steven_O> whoops when i restrted firefox i seem to log out
[09:46] <haryo> http://www.indojpg.com/images/526Screenshot.png <== i have problem with this
[09:46] <Steven_O> but dr willis ive installed the program and i will see if it works now with youtube
[09:46] <dr_willis> !tab
[09:47] <gaelfx> altan: the list might be a bit dated, but here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported/
[09:47] <dr_willis> altan:  i just normally go to amazon and look at the reviews and see which ones people say work with ubuntu/linux ;)
[09:47] <gaelfx> altan: is it for desktop or laptop?
[09:47] <altan> gaelfx, it is for desktop, i prefer pci express
[09:48] <gaelfx> Steven_O: the flashplugin installer is just a program that downloads and installs the plugin, are you sure the installer actually ran?
[09:49] <altan> gaelfx, pcie low profile
[09:50] <pmo_> altan, you could try browse kernel / menuconfig and see drivers available for wifi cards !
[09:50] <Steven_O> im not really sure im kinda a newb at this  apologies
[09:51] <altan> pmo_, how would i go about that? sorry, i'm a bit new to linux still
[09:51] <gaelfx> altan: it might be best for you to find a card that you like first and then check to see if there are issues on forums or askubuntu
[09:51] <gaelfx> altan: you can also check it against that site I sent you, but as I said before, it's not the most up to date list
[09:52] <altan> gaelfx, there were only two low profile pci express listed there
[09:53] <gaelfx> altan: well, chances are that other ones work, they just aren't on the list, hence find one you want first, then check compatibility
[09:55] <altan> gaelfx, thanks, i'll look into them tomorrow. it's a bit too late to go shopping right now :P
[09:55] <gaelfx> it's never too late with Newegg :D
[09:56] <altan> of course not, but i hate waiting for stuff to ship
[09:57] <pmo_> altan, if you found something really cheap and new, i would be suspicious about compatibility issue like 'soft modem' in the past, but drivers come pretty fast those days, was not the same in the past
[09:58] <gaelfx> altan you don't have to buuy it from newegg, you can just find the card you want there and go out and buy it tomorrow
[10:01] <dr_willis> gee if i buy 2 usb wifi dongles.. can i make them both work to give me moar speeds. ;)
[10:02] <gaelfx> dr_willis: I  would certainly hope so
[10:02] <iceroot> dr_willis: no
[10:02] <gaelfx> aw
[10:02] <dr_willis> heh....
[10:02] <jpds> dr_willis: Only one way to find out.
[10:02] <iceroot> because the ap can only handle 54mbit/s
[10:03] <gaelfx> that's it, let's work on this dual-usb wifi idea of yours and make it happen!
[10:03] <iceroot> and if twi devices use 54mbit/s you will not get 108mbit/s
[10:03] <dr_willis> my dongles are $8 ones.. i dont think they can handle 54mbit/s  even together..
[10:03] <iceroot> you need two different aps
[10:03] <iceroot> dr_willis: they are using the same channel
[10:03] <iceroot> dr_willis: that will reduce the quality for every dongle
[10:03] <jpds> iceroot: N wifi?
[10:03] <oupateddie> There was a google chrome update today in 11.10. Something must be wrong somewhere as Chrome browser does not launch since the update. Any news on this?
[10:03] <jpds> Anyway, not a support question.
[10:03] <avelldiroll> iceroot: a g but a n has got a theoritcal max speed of 300Mbps
[10:04] <dr_willis> i think my dongles are 150Mbps ones.. saw that # on  the box.
[10:04] <gaelfx> ugh, don't get me started, my lappy has a/n, but apparently it's just draft n, so it maxes out at 65mbps
[10:05] <oupateddie> In the same light, how can one roll-back to the previous version of Chrome?
[10:05] <dr_willis> !pin
[10:06] <avelldiroll> gaelfx: you have to set up channel bonding in order to get 300Mbps
[10:06] <gaelfx> avelldiroll: no, this is an issue with the card
[10:07] <gaelfx> they used some know-nothing company called Azurewave for the wireless nics, and even though this is a 2012 computer, they are still using draft n tech and advertizing it as up to 300Mbps wireless nic
[10:07] <iceroot> jpds: then the ap can handle 300mbit/s on nwifi but not 2 x 54mbit/s on the other wifi standard
[10:10] <iceroot> jpds: wifi is working different then normal rj45 stuff
[10:11] <gaelfx> whatever, I want my twisted light terabit wireless already
[10:11] <gaelfx> how else am I gonna stream 1 million blurays at the same time?
[10:12] <iceroot> gaelfx: your hdd will be the bootleneck
[10:13] <iceroot> gaelfx: 1gbit/s is maybe the maximum a normal hdd can offer
[10:14] <gaelfx> not if I have a few petabytes of nickel wire racetrack memory
[10:14] <iceroot> gaelfx: then you also have rj45 and not wifi
[10:14] <iceroot> problem solved
[10:15] <aithox> in gconf-editor the shadow radius is limited to 18.0 , how can i set more value ??
[10:16] <gaelfx> :P
[10:17] <aithox> needs help about gconf-editor
[10:21] <Naish> >/join #bicepbulge
[10:21] <Naish> ugh, ignore please
[10:21] <BluesKaj> hey all

[10:37] <kevininspain> Does anyone know if you can see on an android phone word documents from libre office or if they will even transfer to the phone?
[10:38] <whitman> ferry_, you don't have the plugin called "Window List"?
[10:39] <ferry_> whitman, now Window List is not showing in the list with plugins from the panel
[10:39] <ferry_> no*
[10:39] <sacarlson> kevininspain: I'm sure android will read *.txt files and libre office will save in that format.  or maybe html or other format if you need formating
[10:40] <DJones> kevininspain: I had to convert an .odf file to a .doc file to be able to read it in quickoffice on my android tablet
[10:41] <kevininspain> sacarlson, OK will try it out later as a txt doc and see if it loads.
[10:41] <DJones> kevininspain: (or .odt file) certainly an openoffice file converted to word format
[10:42] <kevininspain> DJones, OK will give that a go as well. thanks for your help guys
[10:45] <mpma> Hello there!
[10:46] <mpma> anyone there?
[10:46] <xiangjianfeng> hello...haha
[10:46] <mpma> hows it going my good sir?
[10:50] <kevininspain> we are all here
[10:50] <d8bhatta> Hello, I am trying to merge two partitions using gparted but the problem is the partition which I want to resize is locked and  resize option is disabled. I dont how to enable the option for the partition. Help needed!
[10:50] <kevininspain> 1570
[10:51] <mpma> tried running it as root`
[10:51] <mpma> ?*
[10:51] <DJones> d8bhatta: Are you using a livecd to do the resizing from? Don't forget you can't modify a partition if its mounted and in use (eg your normal installation)
[10:51] <Monotoko> can someone send me a skype add request? It keeps crashing when I try to accept them and I'm trying to get to the bottom of it, I just have no more to accept at the moment :P
[10:51] <Monotoko> (same handle)
[10:53] <kevininspain> so is it pricey or aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ?
[10:53] <d8bhatta> DJones: I am not using livecd, just trying to use gparted. yes its my normal installation and  I am trying to increase the size of the normall installation partition.
[10:54] <DJones> d8bhatta: You'll need to use a livecd/usb or a gparted disk, otherwise you won't be able to unmount the partition because you'd be running software from it
[10:54] <kevininspain> or it is his /
[10:55] <d8bhatta>  DJones: I think I do have bootable pen drive...how should I do that?
[10:56] <d8bhatta> should I trying running the bootable pendrive like I ran while installing ubuntu?
[10:56] <d8bhatta> should I trying running the bootable pendrive like I ran while installing ubuntu? DJones:
[10:56] <kevininspain> unebootin is beter for that sor of thing
[10:57] <DJones> d8bhatta: Yes, if you boot up with the liveusb and select the try ubuntu option, you should have gparted on the disk which you can run
[10:57] <hangdeadman> can anyone here help me get pcsx2 emulator running on my ubuntu 12.04?
[10:58] <d8bhatta> ok..thanks Djones, I will give a try
[10:58] <DJones> d8bhatta: http://www.howtogeek.com/114503/how-to-resize-your-ubuntu-partitions/  Maybe give this a read first
[10:59] <kevininspain> well I'm off for a midday snooze just to hot to do anything 39 O'c lol fed up with the sun sun and more sun
[11:01] <d8bhatta> DJones: one question, I upgraded ubuntu to 12.04 but my usb drive has ubuntu 11.10, does this work to perform the partition?
[11:01] <Monotoko> d8bhatta, aye it will
[11:02] <d8bhatta>  Monotoko:  thanks
[11:02] <DJones> d8bhatta: If you can, make sure you've got a backup of anything beforehand though, changing partitions isn't alway 100% sucessful
[11:03] <king> ff
[11:03] <king> hi
[11:03] <d8bhatta> DJones: ok
[11:03] <king> cv
[11:04] <benjick> Hi guys. I just upgraded to 12.04 and I can't resolve any dnses. I have a static IP and I'm using googles DNS
[11:04] <king> how are you
[11:04] <benjick> Is there something I have to do another way now?
[11:05] <hangdeadman> can anyone here help me get pcsx2 emulator running on my ubuntu 12.04?
[11:05] <lcabreza1>  benjick: hi, this happens to me. what I do is add the namserver manually in /etc/resolv.conf
[11:06] <benjick> lcabreza1: hey, thanks. I've already checked they are already there
[11:07] <dominic_> benjick: and still the problem still occur? like you still cant resolve domains?
[11:07] <dominic_> sorry typo error ^^
[11:07] <benjick> dominic_: It's still the same, when I ping google.se it's just tries to resolve and then fail
[11:07] <benjick> ping: unknown host google.se
[11:07] <benjick> np :)
[11:08] <benjick> (same with .com)
[11:08] <benjick> I can also ping these nameservers (<IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>)
[11:08] <dominic_> benjick: make sure that the dns server you place under /etc/resolv.conf is working now
[11:08] <dominic_> oh so is that the nameserver you are using?
[11:08] <benjick> Yeah, I'm using it on this server I irc from now
[11:08] <benjick> Yes
[11:10] <dominic_> so basically the only problem is you cant google..is that right?
[11:10] <benjick> No, I can't resolve any dns-name
[11:11] <benjick> Just used google as an example
[11:11] <dominic_> try to use any other nameserver
[11:11] <dominic_> <IP_ADDRESS> per haps
[11:11] <dominic_> perhaps*
[11:11] <benjick> What company is that?
[11:11] <hp_> what to do if your video card dont wanna work ?!
[11:11] <hp_> it stuck during watching a video
[11:11] <hp_> after that it wont wokr
[11:12] <benjick> dominic_: Do I need to refresh anything after I changed?
[11:12] <dominic_> nope
[11:12] <benjick> still the same
[11:12] <benjick> hm
[11:12] <hp_> i USED to have this problem , i did changed it with another one and it worked again
[11:12] <sparrow_2> please anybody help me out with installation of pygame in ubuntu precise I have been trying for so long...:( my software centre is giving error dependency is not satisfiable-libportmidi0 ...I am new to ubuntu pls help
[11:13] <hp_> how do i "reset" it  WHITOUT another videocard , i only have one and that one isnt working
[11:13] <berto-> i accidentally blew away the partition layout for my filesystem.  i had run gdisk -l prior so actually had the partition layout, so i manually recreated it.  upon reboot, the machine doesn't boot.  my guess is grub was cleaned out of the mbr.  in rescue mode grub-install /dev/sda errors out with: cannot find a device for /boot/grub is /dev mounted.  any clues? this is ubuntu 12.04, rescue mode, in a shell on the btrfs root subvolume
[11:14] <ikonia> btrfs....oh dear
[11:14] <BluesKaj> hp_, is it a pci card , and did you check in additional drivers for the recommended driver
[11:14] <sacarlson> benjick: also you will need to try dig @<IP_ADDRESS> google.com ;   to test a dns from there but not sure how you will install it with no internet
[11:15] <benjick> hm, i already had dig
[11:15] <benjick> I have internet :-)
[11:16] <dominic_> benjick: did you somehow installed nscd by some chance? by default ubuntu don't cache dns. unless this was changed
[11:16] <dominic_> benjick: woot..so what fixed it?
[11:16] <benjick> Nope, I do't have that
[11:16] <benjick> dominic_: Well, I have *internet* but I can't *resolve* any dns-names
[11:16] <hp_> BluesKaj, yes it worked fine , the first time it happend . i got a videocard from work and replaced it and then it worked, i put back my old one and it worked again . it was like a reset. but now i dont have another videocard soo am scruwed, need another way to get it started again
[11:16] <benjick> sacarlson: connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[11:17] <benjick> Do I need to do some changes to iptables? I allow all outgoing traffic at the moment
[11:17] <dominic_> benjick: oh sorry my bad, i misunderstood the message :)
[11:17] <sacarlson> benjick: with dig?  with dig @<IP_ADDRESS> yahoo.com; ?  but you can ping it, so maybe it's redirected and not the real <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:18] <benjick> dominic_: Yeah sorry, I was just being funny in this dns hell :>
[11:19] <benjick> sacarlson: same with yahoo
[11:19] <benjick> I can ping <IP_ADDRESS>, yes
[11:19] <sacarlson> benjick: you ISP must have you redirected then or something wierd
[11:19] <benjick> it works on this server i'm ircing from now, they are on the same vmware server
[11:20] <sparrow_2> tar pygame-1.9.1release.tar.gz
[11:20] <benjick> And it worked before I upgraded to 12.04
[11:20] <BluesKaj> hp_, open a terminal and run this , lspci | grep VGA , that will tellyou what graphics card is installed , then we can look for a driver
[11:20] <dominic_> benjick: are you behind any router? or maybe your in a network that is controlled by a transparent proxy?
[11:20] <benjick> No, I have static public IP
[11:20] <benjick> I have iptables but it accepts all connections on "OUTPUT"
[11:21] <sacarlson> benjick: some strange route maybe?   sudo route -n ;
[11:21] <benjick> sacarlson: only 2 routes, <IP_ADDRESS> to the gateway and the other way back
[11:22] <sacarlson> benjick: and  sudo ufw disable;
[11:22] <benjick> what does that do?
[11:22] <hp_> BluesKaj, the videocard wont work, i get a black screen ¨no input¨ light of screen goes from green too orange.
[11:22] <sacarlson> benjick: should disable any firewall settings
[11:23] <benjick> But I don't want to erase my iptables
[11:23] <sacarlson> benjick: what is the gateway address?
[11:23] <ararav> hi all
[11:23] <benjick> in pm
[11:24] <BluesKaj> hp_, do you have an onboard graphics card you can use , a vga one ?
[11:24] <benjick> sacarlson: I dind't have ufw installed
[11:24] <benjick> oh, typo
[11:24] <grungekid> Hey there, Is this a good place to ask about an issue I have had with jono bacons first ubuntu app tutorial?
[11:24] <sacarlson> benjick: I think ufw is installed as default or I spelled it wrong
[11:24] <benjick> sacarlson: i spelled it wrong :)
[11:25] <hp_> BluesKaj,  no i don't thats the problem. otherwise i could use/try that one
[11:25] <ararav> Кто спик по русиш?
[11:25] <tumppu_> !ru | ararav
[11:25] <ararav> sencs ^)
[11:27] <BluesKaj> hp_, have you looked at the pci graphics card to see what make and model?
[11:28] <biplab> quit
[11:29] <BluesKaj> hp_, . also you have to choose in the bios which card is default for the system
[11:30] <BluesKaj> hp_, there must be an onboard card , it just needs to be enabled in the bios
[11:32] <BluesKaj> hp_, another thing , if your card quit in the middle of something and you replaced then tried it again and it worked , you may have a bad cable or connection on the pc or the the monitor
[11:34] <dominic_> benjick: is the problem solved?
[11:35] <hp_> BluesKaj, this mobo i got from a friend -_-!) it really doesnt have a onboard card.(wich i think is weird). yes you may be right about the connection i had some problems with that in the past.
[11:36] <benjick> dominic_: yes, thanks for the help :)
[11:44] <jglauche> hi, on my freshly installed ubuntu I have a broken package "capiutils". it installs the stuff I need, then complains about capifs not found (no longer included in 3.2 kernel). Because of that apt still says it's broken, but it works since I can use it. How can I mark this package as "installed" ?
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> jglauche  i've never heard of capiutils, but first thing on my mind: in synaptic, choose Status (below left) - Obsolote or else Residual config
[11:49] <abeer> Could someone help me configure my Grub file.
[11:49] <abeer> The thing is I had the pae kernel installed after I upgraded from beta and I installed the generic kernel today.
[11:50] <abeer> I want to make that into the default
[11:50] <jglauche> MonkeyDust, hm, synaptic tells it's installed actually
[11:51] <Shambat> I have a ubuntu server that has a partition at /mnt/data (backups etc live there) but now it starting to fill up. What is the best and safest way to allocate a little more space to this partition?
[11:51] <jglauche> apt-get says "1 not fully installed" and tries to dpkg - reconfigure it every time
[11:52] <MonkeyDust> jglauche  try sudo apt-get -f install         -f means fix
[11:52] <jglauche> MonkeyDust, won't work as the dpkg fails every time
[11:52] <MonkeyDust> hm
[11:53] <sacarlson> abeer: might want to install grub-customizer gui to make it easy to change default settings in grub
[11:55] <gaelfx> jglauche: did you try marking the offending package for reinstallation in Synaptic?
[11:55] <gaelfx> jglauche: or purging it and then reinstalling it?
[11:55] <jglauche> mark as what?
[11:55] <gaelfx> jglauche: mark it for reinstlallation
[11:55] <jglauche> what should that fix?
[11:56] <jglauche> the package is broken because it requires capifs which is not available with the newer kernel
[11:56] <jglauche> so reinstall won't help
[11:56] <jglauche> (i did try this before with apt)
[11:57] <gaelfx> how did you install this package?
[11:57] <jglauche> apt-get install capiutils
[11:57] <jglauche> how else?
[11:58] <jglauche> here's the pastebin of the failure http://pastebin.com/HNPuMvXm
[11:59] <jglauche> it's clearly a broken package
[12:00] <bajra> hello
[12:00] <gaelfx> checked launchpad for this bug? bug 940531
[12:01] <jglauche> gaelfx, saw it.
[12:02] <jglauche> but as it works, all I want to do is mark it as "completely installed" somehow. but I lack knowledge of apt to find it.
[12:03] <gaelfx> apt-mark?
[12:04] <gaelfx> nm
[12:05] <jglauche> no :/
[12:05] <bajra> # csarven
[12:06] <gaelfx> I'm not sure if you can actually do that though, otherwise I think you could do some serious damage to your pc
[12:08] <gaelfx> jglauche: http://askubuntu.com/questions/26622/how-to-mark-dependencies-as-solved
[12:09] <gaelfx> the first answer seems to give you a solution, though it warns it's a bad idea, since the package in question is not available any more, it shouldn't be a problem
[12:10] <sacarlson> jglauche: maybe isdnutils will take the place of capi as it seem some thing capi is obsolete
[12:17] <pbjarting> Hi, I'm new. I have added an extra harddisk, but I have access since it belongs to System. how do i change to belong to me, Peter, Supervisor ?
[12:18] <jglauche> gaelfx, yes, that nailed it!
[12:18] <pbjarting>  Hi, I'm new. I have added an extra harddisk, but I no have access since it belongs to System. how do i change it to belong to me, Peter, Supervisor ?
[12:18] <jglauche> thanks
[12:19] <sunshinehappy> pbjarting, I think if you right click into properties you can edit permissions, but it might not be the right thing for a hard disk
[12:19] <pbjarting> thanks but that will not work since it belongs to System. I have to get Root rights. How to do that ?
[12:20] <sunshinehappy> it should ask you for an admin password
[12:21] <pbjarting> Not a chance. There is noaccess since it belongs to the System. It is not the system drive, but an extra drive.
[12:22] <gaelfx> jglauche: did it work?
[12:22] <pbjarting> Guess I have to use some Sudo command to get the rights, but how ?
[12:22] <sunshinehappy>  maybe sudo chmod
[12:22] <gaelfx> pbjarting: if you're doing it through nautilus, sudo nautilus will work
[12:23] <gaelfx> but be VERY careful with that
[12:23] <rumpe1> and if so, please use gksudo nautilus, not sudo nautilus...
[12:23] <gaelfx> rumpe1: they both work, gksudo just pops up a window asking for password
[12:24] <pbjarting> thanks but what is the command. To get rights to a disk. It must be a common problem
[12:24] <rumpe1> gaelfx, not just that. It also prevents some nasty side effects.
[12:25] <gaelfx> pbjarting: sorry, didn't read that well enough :P is this a drive you added via usb or to the SATA or what?
[12:26] <jnb> hello room
[12:26] <pbjarting> It is an internal driving connected via SATA. It is empty and working. I'm able to mount to it but do not have and write rights.
[12:27] <gaelfx> pbjarting: how are you planning on using it?
[12:27] <rumpe1> gaelfx, "gksudo sets HOME=~root, and copies .Xauthority to a tmp directory. This prevents files in your home directory becoming owned by root" ... <- worst case: you block the whole desktop (afaik)
[12:27] <pbjarting> Ext 4 and as a backup disk
[12:27] <jnb> I need to install an application located in my download folder how do I install that
[12:27] <jnb> app with root privileges
[12:28] <rumpe1> jnb, which (kind of) app?
[12:28] <sunshinehappy> jnb, it may be possible to open it with software center if its the right type
[12:28] <gaelfx> rumpe1: good to know
[12:28] <jnb> @sun how do I go about doing that I am new to linux
[12:29] <Sidewinder1> pbjarting, To take over ownership, type sudo chown -R Peter:Peter /media/the_disk's_UUID    This is assuming that Peter is your username.
[12:29] <rrrr> Hello!
[12:29] <rumpe1> jnb, a "downloaded install-package" from anywhere on the web... could be nearly anything. There is no default way of installing that. you have to be specific.
[12:29] <gaelfx> pbjarting: then you might want to leave it as a system disk, unless you plan on backing up files by hand
[12:29] <pbjarting> Thanks I will try that. CUL BIBI
[12:29] <rrrr> How do I share a Ubuntu machine on a Windows network? Could someone help me on this please?
[12:30] <jnb> I had to install a printer application for linux in order to install my wireless printer via ip address
[12:30] <MonkeyDust> rrrr  have you explored samba?
[12:30] <jnb> Ubuntu located the printer but doesn't have the correct drivers
[12:30] <rrrr> MonkeyDust, no, never. What is this?
[12:30] <MonkeyDust> rrrr  type !samba to find out
[12:31] <rumpe1> jnb, so you got the driver from the vendor? .. there should be some kind of install manual somewhere (from the vendor)
[12:31] <jnb> I installed the printer on my linux mint debian under a root account
[12:31] <gaelfx> rrrr: if you right-click the folder you want to share and select "Sharing Options" it should be available for Windows computers once you give it a name and whatnot
[12:31] <jnb> the manual is there and I know how to install
[12:31] <jnb> im told I need to have root privilidges
[12:31] <rrrr> gaelfx, I already did that, but I can't see it on windows side.
[12:31] <jnb> i know the commands su and sudo
[12:31] <rumpe1> jnb, use "sudo" in front of the command for root privileges
[12:32] <gaelfx> rrrr: you might want to give guest access, unless this is an open network
[12:32] <rumpe1> jnb, you know? ... hm... now I'm confused. What's the problem?
[12:32] <jnb> my problem is what command must i type in order to browse to my download folder and file
[12:32] <rrrr> gaelfx, I just don't see the machine name on windows.
[12:32] <rumpe1> jnb, cd ~/Downloads; ls
[12:33] <MonkeyDust> rrrr  have you asked for advice  in ##windows?
[12:33] <jnb> the folder is located in download cdroot (folder) autorun (file) how do I enter that command with root privileges
[12:33] <rrrr> MonkeyDust, no.
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> rrrr  type /join ##windows
[12:34] <rumpe1> jnb, uh... spaces in file/dir-names... you have to escape them/use tab-completion. Example: cd download\ cd<hittabkey>
[12:34] <rumpe1> jnb, or maybe just "cd down<tab>"
[12:34] <jnb> here is the path
[12:35] <jnb> home-download-cdroot-autorun
[12:35] <jnb> what is the dos command needed to run that file with root privileges
[12:35] <rumpe1> there is no "DOS"
[12:35] <rumpe1> and it's not a file but a sequence of directories i guess
[12:36] <jnb> thank you rumpel
[12:36] <rumpe1> jnb, just go to the directory with the executable and execute it
[12:36] <jnb> i dont have root privileges
[12:36] <MonkeyDust> jnb  what you call 'dos' is called 'cli' in linux
[12:36] <jnb> it stops me
[12:36] <jnb> thanks monkeydust
[12:37] <rumpe1> jnb, simple solution for that: enter "sudo -i" and you will be root-like
[12:37] <jnb> thanks
[12:37] <Sidewinder1> pbjarting, And, just for future reference, when elevating privileges in a GUI based app., such as Nautilus or Gedit, the command is gksudo, not sudo; for a further explanation please see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo.
[12:38] <MonkeyDust> rumpe1  advicing sudo -i to someone wo doesnt know what he's doing, is not a good idea
[12:38] <gaelfx> rrrr: did you restart after enabling the share?
[12:38] <rrrr> gaelfx, no
[12:38] <rumpe1> MonkeyDust, it's not a good idea for a user to play admin, when he just started using it. But that's how it is.
[12:38] <pbjarting> thanks it is noted
[12:39] <jnb> rumpel I entered the sudo -i which worked however this is the message I received.  You are not authorized to install  the driver package. Only suer with root privileges is allowed to do this. Installation cannot be completed now
[12:39] <MonkeyDust> jnb  first learn linux/ubuntu, then try to be admin
[12:40] <gaelfx> rrrr: you probably should try that, as it will (re)start all the samba services necessary to share
[12:40] <rumpe1> jnb, that sounds ... really strange. After sudo -i you are in fact root ... possible reason: crappy driver installer
[12:40] <jnb> @Monkeydust I need to install a printer
[12:40] <jnb> this is how I resolved it in linux mint debian
[12:41] <jnb> I enabled root log in with linux mint debiam
[12:41] <jnb> and logged in
[12:41] <rumpe1> jnb, or something else went wrong and the installer just always throws out that message (like missing directory, problems with filenames, ...)
[12:41] <jnb> that is how I was able to install it there
[12:41] <jnb> no it works
[12:41] <jnb> this is a universal install for linux
[12:41] <geirha> could be the installer is an sh script doing bashism
[12:41] <jnb> it just doesn't have a specific setup for each version
[12:41] <rumpe1> jnb, so it's possible that it needs in fact an active root account ... oh, man.
[12:42] <jnb> yes sir
[12:42] <jnb> rumpel u are correct
[12:42] <geirha> jnb, rumpe1: certainly not
[12:42] <jnb> how do I enable the root account
[12:42] <rumpe1> geirha, certainly? Have you written the script?
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> jnb  not
[12:42] <jnb> I can google it
[12:42] <geirha> sudo -i  logs you in as root, in that terminal. There's no "more root" than that
[12:42] <jnb> I know it is not recommended
[12:43] <jnb> @geirha that is the only way it worked in Linux mint debian
[12:43] <jnb> that is how I installed it on my desktop
[12:43] <rumpe1> ... if $USERNAME != "root" then echo "You have no permissions... "    ^^
[12:43] <jnb> umbuntu is running on my mac
[12:44] <jnb> @rumpel you lost me
[12:44] <jnb> I just want to enable root log in on this computer
[12:44] <geirha> that's not valid sh
[12:44] <rumpe1> lol
[12:44] <jnb> rumpel I knew something was fishy
[12:45] <jnb> with your last message
[12:45] <geirha> jnb: If you do, you're on your own
[12:45] <jnb> im a newbie with linux not with pc's
[12:45] <rumpe1> jnb, why not just activate the root account, use it to try to install that thingy and deactivate root after that?
[12:45] <jnb> that exactly what i am asking you to assist me with
[12:45] <geirha> "activating" the root account won't solve anything
[12:46] <rumpe1> jnb, "sudo passwd root" will activate it
[12:46] <T3X> I plugged my External hard desk into ubuntu server. how do i check if it detected or not while i dont have any graphical interface?
[12:46] <jnb> @geirha your wrong
[12:46] <sunshinehappy> jnb, did you try to open it with software center?
[12:46] <jnb> and then it prompts me for a password
[12:46] <gaelfx> T3X: I believe lsusb should show it
[12:46] <jnb> rumpel what password do I give it
[12:46] <rumpe1> jnb, if you want to activate the account, you need to set a password of course.
[12:46] <geirha> !noroot | rumpe1
[12:47] <rumpe1> oh... please...
[12:47] <sunshinehappy> !root
[12:47] <gaelfx> sunshinehappy: this is a shell script, not a .deb
[12:47] <jnb> @geirha
[12:47] <jnb> let rumpel assist me
[12:47] <rumpe1> the world doesn't end when somebody decides to activate root ...
[12:47] <jnb> I agree rumpel
[12:47] <rumpe1> jnb, i suggest a private chat
[12:47] <geirha> *shrug* I didn't write the rules
[12:47] <T3X> gaelfx: lsusb didnt show anything
[12:47] <gaelfx> I think their point is that official support ends when someone decides to do that
[12:48] <gaelfx> T3X: hm, then it seems like it's not being detected. try sudo fdisk -l
[12:49] <test> =)
[12:50] <Sidewinder1> test, It works. :)
[12:50] <T3X> gaelfx: here is the output http://pastebin.com/yNAqDcxD . FYI my external hard drive is 3TB didnt show up there, or maybe its not mounted
[12:51] <Motafoca> guys, i have a windows partition that i want to make a backup so i can repartition my disk acordinly and then put this backup on the new partition scheme. I cant used gparted because of the partition layout, or dd because of the size. I tried using a virtualbox make a backup using tar, but the restorationg files are bugged, i even tried using cp but same bug, looks like some windows files have some permissions that linux ignores, any
[12:51] <Motafoca>  ideas ?
[12:52] <ikonia> T3X: fdisk will only show dos partition tables
[12:52] <ikonia> T3X: 3TB disk needs a GPT partition
[12:52] <gaelfx> ikonia to the rescue :D
[12:52] <T3X> ikonia: GPT partition what is that means?
[12:52] <ikonia> Motafoca: can you boot into windows ?
[12:53] <ikonia> T3X: different type of partition table, used for larger disks
[12:53] <Motafoca> ikonia, after the backup/restore? yes, but the file links are broken, ex: my documents
[12:53] <cyrex> I recommend gparted for this. Not because fdisk can't do it but because it is easier to create the GPT (Guid Partition Table) for the 3TB. I have an internal 3TB and it was a breeze like that
[12:54] <Motafoca> ikonia, then i wonder if anything else is broken
[12:54] <ikonia> Motafoca: boot into windows, use the "take recovery image" option, layout your disk, then use the windows CD to restore that recovery image option to the new partition
[12:55] <gaelfx> cyrex: he's using server, so no GUI
[12:55] <ikonia> parted then
[12:55] <cyrex> gaelfx, aa ok could not read the rest. It was my understanding that fdisk had some problems with gpt
[12:56] <cyrex> what about parted then?
[12:56] <Motafoca> ikonia, ill try, thanks
[12:56] <gaelfx> T3X: what kind of enclosure is this drive in? does it need to be turned on, and if so, is it? (sorry if that's an insulting question to ask)
[12:57] <cyrex> sorry the only one I could come up with right now is cfparted which has a nice curse gui for terminals
[12:57] <cyrex> cfdisk sorry
[12:57] <T3X> gaelfx: it plugged into power then into my server
[12:59] <sacarlson> T3X: look for a red lit light on the disk if it's has a switch that will be lit
[13:01] <gaelfx> T3X: I don't suppose you've tested it with any other computers?
[13:02] <T3X> gaelfx: on windows didnt work, on fedora worked fine and been able to copy and past from it, but ubunto server 12.04 didnt work
[13:03] <gaelfx> T3X: did you try parted?
[13:05] <dj_hamsta> is there a easy to follow tutorial to installing vnc in ubuntu? the version i have does not come standard with the remote desktop thing.
[13:05] <gaelfx> dj_hamsta: what version do you have?
[13:05] <dj_hamsta> err let me boot it gime a min
[13:06] <gaelfx> Remina has several different protocols it can use, I would be surprised if what you're using isn't available in it
[13:06] <marun> Hi, I am running apache web server on a VM with NAT interface. I have added port forwarding in my router to 80. I am able to browse the site on local network. But not from internet. How to fix this?
[13:07] <OerHeks> marun, use bridge
[13:07] <CyberSix> marun: bridge it, and give it a static ip
[13:07] <MonkeyDust> marun  change NAT to bridged
[13:07] <marun> hmm. ok.. Why NAT doesn't work?
[13:07] <T3X> gaelfx: how?
[13:08] <marun> OerHeks: Any idea why NAT doesn't work?
[13:08] <OerHeks> marun, nat works, locally.
[13:08] <CyberSix> hehe
[13:09] <marun> OerHeks: :)
[13:09] <Cottus> marun, it may be that apache only allowd <IP_ADDRESS> and not <IP_ADDRESS>:80 or *:80 in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default < this is in debian
[13:11] <marun> Cottus: It is set to listen on all interfaces. Lemme check if bridged adapter works :)
[13:11] <Shambat> marun: are you able to reach the serverfrom the internet on some other port? you could rule out a NAT bproblem by trying to forward say port 22000 to 22 on the server and then SSH to it
[13:12] <gaelfx> \
[13:13] <CyberSix>  /
[13:13] <gaelfx> T3X: sudo parted, or if you don't have it installed, sudo apt-get install parted
[13:13] <Niarf> hi :)
[13:14] <subins2000> hey :-)
[13:14] <subins2000> who uses empathy to chat on #ubuntu ??
[13:14] <dj_hamsta> gaelfx 10.04 lucid
[13:14] <jiangjie> i delete
[13:14] <Niarf> i just install a lucid  with linux-image-server-2.6.32-41 and grub won't boot
[13:14] <Niarf> it say "file not found, you need to load the kernel first"
[13:15] <JustJeff10> Good Morning.....Can someone please assist me with a networking issue involving multiple NIC's connecting to the same destination network?
[13:15] <Niarf> the same install with 2.6.32-40 is OK … what's different in 2.6.32-41 ?
[13:15] <marun> Awsome! Now it works pretty well :)
[13:15] <gaelfx> dj_hamsta: wait, 10.04 has remote desktop built-in, you just have to activate it, did you go to System->Administration->Remote Desktop?
[13:16] <gaelfx> or something of that nature since I can't remember exactly where it is in 10.04 :P
[13:16] <dj_hamsta> gaelfx, this is not stock ubuntu, its been hacked and remote desktop removed =/
[13:16] <dj_hamsta> the tutorials i follows kills the vnc connection when the root window is closed
[13:17] <gaelfx> dj_hamsta: what are you trying to do? because there might be an easier way, whatever it is
[13:17] <phr> guys, it might be off-topic, but i have a question. i need a small/micro server for a small business company which should handle apache and mysql (local only). can somebody suggest anything useful and not too expensive? thank you in advance.
[13:17] <dj_hamsta> im just trying to vnc into the box
[13:18] <dj_hamsta> set up a vnc server in the box basically
[13:18] <gaelfx> dj_hamsta: trided installing vino-server?
[13:18] <gaelfx> warning: there may have been an extra d somewhere in that last line
[13:18] <dj_hamsta> nop
[13:19] <gaelfx> dj_hamsta: pretty sure that's the default vnc server for 10.04, so give it a shot
[13:19] <gaelfx> dj_hamsta: out of sheer curiosity, what spin are you using that's disabled VNC?
[13:19] <dj_hamsta> backtrack 5
[13:20] <hackqueer> Hello , I am on a dual boot system -  win 7 with ubuntu and I want to have only ubuntu now. I am a total noob so can anyone help me out ?
[13:20] <dj_hamsta> bahhh backtrack does not have the standard ubuntu repositories
[13:20] <dj_hamsta> must find em
[13:20] <OerHeks> !backtrack
[13:20] <gaelfx> hackqueer: do you need to keep anything from the windows partitions?
[13:20] <hackqueer> i will just take a look gaelfx
[13:21] <hackqueer> I plan to install windows in VM though
[13:21] <gaelfx> hackqueer: right, but you don't need this windows partition to do that, you need an install CD
[13:22] <hackqueer> yeah
[13:22] <hackqueer> I've some useful stuff in C:\desktop that I need . My E:\ has most of the stuff but i can access that from ubuntu too
[13:22] <hackqueer> gaelfx, ^
[13:23] <gaelfx> hackqueer: then copy the things you need to keep to your Ubuntu partition, including the stuff from E:\ and then we can get started
[13:24] <gaelfx> the reason I say to copy the stuff from E is that it's better not to use NTFS if you can avoid it
[13:24] <hackqueer> I am confused gaelfx
[13:24] <hackqueer> why should i copy from E:\ when i can access it from ubuntu .
[13:24] <hackqueer> ?"*
[13:24] <fidel> hackqueer: cause ntfs is mainly used my MS systems
[13:25] <fidel> linux system cansomehow access them - but its not the desired FS for linux
[13:25] <hackqueer> yeah
[13:25] <gaelfx> hackqueer: because NTFS doesn't always play well with Linux
[13:25] <hackqueer> okay
[13:25] <fidel> *by*
[13:25] <hackqueer> well , I guess I ain't being clear here
[13:25] <gaelfx> there's no reason you need to keep it on E if you can copy it to your Ubuntu partitions w/o a problem
[13:26] <gaelfx> ie if you have enough space
[13:26] <hackqueer> on windows , I've C:\ D:\ E:\ F:\ . On ubuntu , i can acess d:\ as 105 gb FS and e:\ as 152 gb FS
[13:26] <fidel> hackqueer: why would you keep your ntfs e: if your only windows install will be virtual inside linux/vm?
[13:26] <fidel> thats i guess the main question if i followed that conversation right
[13:26] <zamba> does ubuntu 12.04 run dnsmasq by default?
[13:26] <jiangjie> why not resize the E: partition
[13:26] <zamba> even for clients?
[13:27] <hackqueer> these are heavy questions for noobs like me :P
[13:27] <gaelfx> ugh, I hate how they pointlessly divy up partitions in Windows. you shouldn't need more than 2
[13:27] <hackqueer> by ubuntu partitiom . do you mean my home folder gaelfx ?
[13:27] <hackqueer> partition*
[13:27] <gaelfx> hackqueer: sure, if it'll fit
[13:28] <hackqueer> or maybe you tell me to run some commands liekdf (idk exactly) and i'll let you know
[13:28] <gaelfx> do you have enough space on your ubuntu system for all the stuff on your windows system you want to keep?
[13:28] <fidel> hackqueer: in case your plan is to end up with 1 real ubuntu install andeverything else (i.e. windows) as virtual machines - THEN there is really no clear reason to  still have several partitions using a filesystem which your main operating system does not like that miuch ;)
[13:28] <hackqueer> how do I check ?
[13:28] <gaelfx> hackqueer: disk usage analyzer is one way to check
[13:28] <hackqueer> i got it fidel . I am confused with what stuff to move where and how to know i've enough ways
[13:30] <gaelfx> hackqueer: you could also right-click your home folder, select properties and it will tell you how much free space you have
[13:31] <gaelfx> but disk usage analyzer will tell us more about your sistuation ;)
[13:31] <fidel> terminal: 'df -h' is another way to get info about disk usage - well cli-based if you prefer that hackqueer
[13:31] <srikarreddyd> facebook is not loading in my browser
[13:31] <srikarreddyd> not only in firefox but also in chromium
[13:31] <gaelfx> srikarreddyd: you are truly blessed. or in China
[13:32] <srikarreddyd> please help me out
[13:32] <fidel> gaelfx: hrhr
[13:32] <xcervo> hello guys
[13:32] <hackqueer> gaelfx, fidel : http://pastie.org/4165700
[13:32] <fidel> srikarreddyd: check if you can ping/dig/nslookup the fb-****
[13:32] <xcervo> is ther any chat channel for job hunting?
[13:33] <gaelfx> @_@ xcervo check the room list
[13:33] <T3X> How do i know if my 3TB external Hard driver detected by Ubuntu server 12?
[13:33] <Pici> !alis | xcervo
[13:33] <fidel> xcervo: as this channel is focused on offering ubuntu support - you are for sure wrong here. afaik there is a service to search for other channels - but i dont remember the trigger
[13:33] <fidel> well done pici ;)
[13:34] <xcervo> thanks
[13:34] <hackqueer> http://pastie.org/4165700
[13:34] <hackqueer> and disk usage analyzer says 108 gb used , 64 fb available
[13:34] <srikarreddyd> hello
[13:35] <Niarf> anybody doesn't have a grub problem with 2.6.32-41-server kernel ?
[13:35] <srikarreddyd> only facebook is not loading in my brwser wts wrng?
[13:35] <pmo_> T3X, fdisk -l
[13:35] <gaelfx> hackqueer: how much stuff is on your desktop and E that you need to copy?
[13:35] <fidel> hackqueer: try to explain where you might hang right now
[13:35] <fidel> just posting the output of df or similar doesnt explain to others what you want to aks with that paste
[13:36] <hackqueer> my e:\ is 105 GB gaelfx
[13:36] <kanupatar> again, sorry  is there any scheduler invocation functionality inside pthread_mutex_lock() ?
[13:36] <gaelfx> hackqueer: that's used or total size?
[13:36] <T3X> gaelfx: here is the output http://pastebin.com/yNAqDcxD . can you see anything there saying 3TB size or anything like that?
[13:37] <T3X> pmo_: here is the output http://pastebin.com/yNAqDcxD . can you see anything there saying 3TB size or anything like that?
[13:37] <dedechan_> Hello, I'm trying to install Ubuntu via TFTP. The client says PXE-E53: No boot filename received. How can I check if the DHCP server is running please ?
[13:37] <hackqueer> ok gaelfx . I've used 40 gb out of 105 gb in E:\
[13:38] <gaelfx> T3X: no, there's nothing there about the disk you're trying to mount, could you pb lsusb?
[13:38] <pmo_> T3X, no only 500GB with 3 partitions /dev/sda
[13:38] <gaelfx> hackqueer: ok, good, now we're getting somewhere. it seems you have enough disk space, but I have to ask, how did you install Ubuntu?
[13:38] <hackqueer> my friend did it for me , using wubi gaelfx
[13:39] <hackqueer> desktop stuff which i want to copy is 400 MB
[13:39] <gaelfx> hackqueer: well, you see, the problem is that you haven't really installed ubuntu, you've only installed it INSIDE windows
[13:39] <hackqueer> I don't know what you mean by "INSIDE" . ON startup , I get 2 options windows7 and ubuntu
[13:40] <Adminkid> What is the best Unix Operating System out there I really want to learn this operating system please:)
[13:40] <CyberSix> unix
[13:40] <MonkeyDust> Adminkid  if you want to learn unix, use unix
[13:40] <gaelfx> !best | Adminkid
[13:41] <dedechan_> anyone knows about pxelinux ? I can't install Ubuntu on a client computer :(
[13:41] <gaelfx> Adminkid: if you are asking about Linux, then obviously this room would suggest Ubuntu
[13:41] <hackqueer> lol
[13:41] <hackqueer> gaelfx: hackqueer> I don't know what you mean by "INSIDE" . ON startup , I get 2 options windows7 and ubuntu
[13:41] <gaelfx> hackqueer: ok, let's try this: pb fdisk -l
[13:42] <hackqueer> command not found
[13:42] <gaelfx> haha, sorry I meant you should pastebin the output of 'fdisk -l'
[13:42] <hackqueer> lol. The command runs and i dont get any output
[13:43] <Adminkid> gaelfx: Was I asking about linux? I thought I was clear I want to learn unix sorry just kind of annoryd by the whole thing. I seen one called Freebsd
[13:43] <genii-around> dedechan_: I've found https://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install to be most useful
[13:43] <gaelfx> hackqueer: you need to use sudo before the command
[13:43] <gaelfx> Adminkid: that's BSD, it's Unix based but not actually Unix
[13:43] <gaelfx> Adminkid: kind of like how Mac OS is unix based but not actually unix
[13:44] <dedechan_> thanks genii-around , I will have a look!
[13:44] <dedechan_> This Connection is Untrusted
[13:44] <dedechan_>

[13:44] <hackqueer> gaelfx : http://pastie.org/4165756
[13:45] <genii-around> dedechan_: Yes, but it's not really a security risk to visit it
[13:45] <dedechan_> genii-around: firefox says the website is unsecure?
[13:45] <dedechan_> ok
[13:45] <genii-around> dedechan_: Their self-signed certificate expired, the page is old but still very useful and informative
[13:46] <Adminkid> gaelfx: Okay so Mac os is baid on unix but it not really unix that does not make sense am I hearing you wrong sorry:)
[13:47] <MonkeyDust> Adminkid  if macos were unix, it would be called unix
[13:47] <dedechan_> Do I really risk something running firefox and ubuntu on unsecured websites ?
[13:47] <dedechan_>  ~ visiting websites using ...~
[13:47] <AdvoWork> is it recommended to get 32 bit of 12.04 even though its a 64 bit computer?
[13:48] <gaelfx> hackqueer: yeah, as I guessed, you haven't actually installed Ubuntu, it's installed inside windows, therefore you will need to do a real install to accomplish what you want
[13:48] <AdvoWork> as on the d/l page, it states 32bit (recommended)
[13:48] <hackqueer> gaelfx: http://i.imgur.com/j8k0Z.png
[13:48] <Adminkid> MonkeyDust: What is Mac OS Basid on. Is it just there own operating system then nothing compines togeather with MAC
[13:48] <alankila> AdvoWork: no, not really. Ubuntu chose 32 bits because the default must work on all computers.
[13:48] <alankila> AdvoWork: sadly, 64-bit systems are still not common enough to change the default.
[13:49] <dj_hamsta> gaelfx, installed vino, the problem was that i kept typing it as vino-server and couldnt find package
[13:49] <dj_hamsta> retarded me
[13:49] <Adminkid> Am downloading FreeBSD 9.0 RELEASE I386 Right Know:)
[13:49] <phr> guys, it might be off-topic, but i have a question. i need a small/micro server for a small business company which should handle apache and mysql (local only). can somebody suggest anything useful and not too expensive? thank you in advance.
[13:50] <MonkeyDust> Adminkid  type /join #ubuntu-offtopic for that kind of questions
[13:50] <ikonia> Adminkid: check out the ##freebsd channel
[13:50] <hackqueer> gaelfx : i dont get what exactly you mean but btw I don't have any install CD . Maybe ubuntu 8.04 lol
[13:50] <gaelfx> dj_hamsta: no worries, happens to everyone now and again
[13:50] <ikonia> phr: the guys in ##hardware maybe solid help
[13:50] <phr> ikonia ty ;)
[13:50] <Adminkid> ikonia Thanks
[13:50] <gaelfx> hackqueer: well, you can download the install media and put it on a USB if you want
[13:51] <gaelfx> hackqueer: either way, you would need a LiveUSB or LiveCD to accomplish what you want to do
[13:51] <hackqueer> you mean the iso file ?
[13:51] <hackqueer> I guess I should've live CD but of older versions of ubuntu
[13:51] <Adminkid> I cant join Freebsd
[13:51] <Adminkid> invite only
[13:51] <gaelfx> !ot | Adminkid
[13:51] <ikonia> Adminkid: it's "##freebsd"
[13:52] <MonkeyDust> Adminkid  ask assistance in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:52] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: no, don't
[13:52] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: it's an offtopic channel, not network support
[13:52] <MonkeyDust> Adminkid  don't ask assistance in #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
[13:52] <ikonia> Adminkid: #freenode is the channel to use if you are having problems using the channels/networks
[13:53] <Adminkid> ikonia: I know it ##freebsd but it says invite only. MonkeyDust: Sorry if it is offtopic I will try to stop:)
[13:53] <ikonia> Adminkid: the guys in #freenode can help you register your nickname so you can gain access
[13:53] <HateHP> Why am I getting stuck at the SystemV runlevel?  I removed the nvidia-common (why ubuntu thinks I have an nvidia card when it's intel is beyond me)
[13:54] <ikonia> HateHP: ubuntu doesn't use SystemV run level any more
[13:54] <ikonia> HateHP: it thinks you have an nvidia card as you configured Xorg to force nvidia when you installed nvidia-commoin
[13:54] <Psi-Jack> Heck, has Ubuntu EVER used SysV init? From what I've seen, it's primarily always been LSB which is similar to SysV, but has more standards.
[13:54] <HateHP> Except I never installed Nvidia anything
[13:54] <HateHP> How it even got on there is a question for later but for now I want to get past this SystemV thing
[13:55] <Adminkid> I found one Thanks Everyone for there help
[13:55] <Duality> hi
[13:55] <Duality> any way to check twitter on ubuntu server?
[13:55] <Duality> :)?
[13:56] <AdvoWork> alankila, so should I download the 64 bit then?
[13:56] <ikonia> Duality: it would be quite hard as there is no desktop
[13:56] <penreturns> Duality,  :3
[13:56] <Duality> ikonia: yea figured, no text based clients?
[13:56] <Pici> !info ttytter | Duality
[13:56] <alankila> AdvoWork: if you know 64 bits works for you, most likely yes. The answer is more involved than this, and involves the amount of memory your system has. Basically everybody with more than 3 GB should consider it.
[13:56] <T3X> gaelfx: Output of lsusb http://pastebin.com/HUQQaNWe
[13:57] <ikonia> Duality: none that I'm aware of, there maybe be something good
[13:57] <ikonia> as Pici has just quickly pointed out
[13:57] <IdleOne> Duality: there is also twidge you can try
[13:57] <br5andon> anyone know the main language used by quickly?
[13:57] <Duality> :)
[13:57] <hackqueer> gaelfx : I've a dvd which has ubuntu 10.10 with various other stuffs
[13:57] <alankila> some people place cutoff at 4 GB. I place it at 3 because some portion of their RAM could end up unused in 32-bit system.
[13:58] <Lorra> Hi everybody! I was having fun with sockets using python to create a server program and a client program. Whenever I stop the server the port it used is temporarily unavailable. I think it's because I don't free it up properly. Does anybody know how you do that? I call connection.close() and socket.close()
[13:58] <Pici> Lorra: #python would be the appropriate place to ask this.
[13:58] <T3X> Lorra: /joint #python they will be happy to help you with it
[13:58] <spjt> Lorra: It might be that it's in time_wait
[13:59] <spjt> Lorra: Sockets can be kept open for optimization purposes after they are "closed". You can change this behavior by.. doing something.
[13:59] <Adminkid> I dont know if unix is a good operating system because there no one in the chat room and I cant find programs that will run on unix?
[14:00] <HateHP> I tried remove/re-install the ubuntu-desktop and it default re-installed nvidia-common
[14:00] <IdleOne> spjt: Please move to #python to help Lorra with this issue
[14:00] <HateHP> NOT my doing it is a automated fuckup
[14:00] <ikonia> Adminkid: the guys in ##freebsd will help
[14:00] <ikonia> HateHP: tone down the language please.
[14:00] <IdleOne> HateHP: mind the language
[14:00] <Psi-Jack> Heh, wow... I can't login to the Ubuntu SSO, it's timing out.
[14:00] <spjt> echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_reuse
[14:00] <Duality> yes #python is awesome, and really helpfull! :)
[14:01] <spjt> IdleOne: I was addressing it as a Linux issue. :)
[14:01] <HateHP> Why am I getting such grief for an out of the box install on a plain HP laptop to work?
[14:01] <Lorra> Duality, yes, when they don't bug you with registration. I hate this registration thing!
[14:01] <spjt> IdleOne: But yeah, if that doesn't work then it's probably Python.
[14:01] <IdleOne> spjt: this is #ubuntu, not a general linux help chan :)
[14:01] <HateHP> Ubuntu keeps shoving NVIDIA onto my intel graphics card
[14:01] <HateHP> WHY??
[14:01] <fallguy> HELLO UBUNTU
[14:01] <ikonia> HateHP: I've told you why it's showing nvidia
[14:01] <ikonia> HateHP: not all hardware is supported out of the box
[14:01] <ikonia> (or potentitally/likely showing linux)
[14:02] <HateHP> all of the ubuntu forums are split etween remove the nvidia driver or install the invidia driver
[14:02] <localjoost> Quick question :) my work has a 7.04 server running *ugh* - want to upgrade it to a more recent version. Do I need to dist-upgrade all in between versions or can I skip certain versions?
[14:03] <ikonia> localjoost: pretty much, to be honest though, I'd suggest a clean install for that size an upgrade
[14:03] <ikonia> HateHP: do you have an nvidia card, yes or no ?
[14:03] <spjt> HateHP: It's really pretty simple. If you don't care about the politics, install it. If it doesn't work, remove it.
[14:03] <spjt> If you do care about the politics, don't install it.
[14:03] <ikonia> spjt: installing video card modules is nothing to do with politics
[14:03] <HateHP> No it's an INTEL CARD
[14:03] <ikonia> spjt: please don't lead someone with miss-information
[14:03] <ikonia> HateHP: ok, then there is no need for any nvidia components
[14:03] <Psi-Jack> Hmmmm, anyone know of a GTK+/Gnome tool that can be used to easily convert specified timezones, and not just the current time only? Reaaaally need something like that since I deal with a lot of them.
[14:04] <localjoost> ikonia - that is my other option, im just a tad worried I will miss some important data/services
[14:04] <localjoost> afaik we use it for svn and dav
[14:04] <HateHP> great idea ikonia maybe you should have somebody in Ubuntu stop sneaking the damned thing back in there!
[14:04] <HateHP> three updates have forced it in
[14:04] <aetoxx> Firefox tells me that the dbus daemon is not running.
[14:04] <HateHP> now this thing is borked
[14:04] <ikonia> localjoost: I understand your fear, but I'd be more worried about walking through 8 upgrades
[14:04] <ikonia> HateHP: ok, if it's a new laptop, do a clean install
[14:04] <ikonia> HateHP: updates are not forcing it
[14:04] <ikonia> HateHP: do not install any nvidia components
[14:04] <aetoxx> How can I make sure that it is always running? Dbus has been nothing but a pile of misery sofar.
[14:05] <Duality> thanks for the tip on ttytter ! it's awesome!
[14:05] <aetoxx> Or can anyone explain in detail how dbus is supposed to work?
[14:05] <HateHP> FOR THE LAST TIME I HAVE NOT TOLD IT TO INSTALL ANYTHING FROM NVIDIA
[14:05] <gaelfx> hackqueer: the issue is, if you tried to move everything from windows to ubuntu and then remove windows, your ubuntu would be gone as well
[14:05] <ikonia> HateHP: stop typing in caps
[14:05] <Nick____> Hello
[14:05] <ikonia> HateHP: do you know how to use a pastebin ?
[14:05] <HateHP> pay attention to what i am ssaying
[14:05] <localjoost> ikonia  - my experience in upgrading is only to next version .. so without more steps. what are the issues I can face? Or, differ each time?
[14:05] <HateHP> explain to me how i pastebin something from a terminal?
[14:05] <ikonia> HateHP: actually, I've lost interest
[14:05] <gaelfx> gotta go, sorry
[14:06] <ikonia> HateHP: I don't like your attitude, good luck
[14:06] <HateHP> go fuck yourself ikonia
[14:06] <Psi-Jack> HateHP: pastebinit
[14:06] <ikonia> localjoost: you're going to have to do multiple upgrades to get to a supported version
[14:06] <aetoxx> ikonia, I am spotting a pattern.
[14:06] <ikonia> aetoxx: in what ? what's up ?
[14:06] <aetoxx> ikonia, my question is above.
[14:07] <ikonia> aetoxx: I didn't see your question, sorry
[14:07] <aetoxx> ikonia, the pattern is in your behaviour.
[14:07] <aetoxx> ikonia, I didn't see what HateHP said, unfortunately.
[14:07] <ikonia> aetoxx: then don't worry about it
[14:07] <aetoxx> I did see that he said 'pay attention'.
[14:07] <ikonia> aetoxx: then don't worry about it
[14:07] <aetoxx> Something which more often than not doesn't happen.
[14:07] <ikonia> aetoxx: focus on your own question
[14:08] <aetoxx> Anyway, my question is how I can make sure that dbus always works.
[14:08] <Nick____> Hope I'm not intruding on the anger
[14:08] <aetoxx> For example, I just started firefox and it said that the dbus daemon wasn't running.
[14:08] <aetoxx> dbus is supposed to be some program about which I as a user don't know anything.
[14:08] <OerHeks> Nick____, just ask your Question
[14:08] <aetoxx> Except all more often I am seeing programs which are whining about it.
[14:08] <hackqueer> well , gaelfx was helping me migrate from my dual boot system( win7 + ubuntu) to only ubuntu , but he left . Can anyone else guide me ?
[14:08] <aetoxx> I just want to fix it once and for all.
[14:09] <aetoxx> I.e., where can I read about the preconditions for dbus to work correctly?
[14:09] <Nick____> Not looking to get too technical for the moment, just wondering how difficult it would be to get Ubuntu fully functional and stable on a laptop
[14:10] <ikonia> Nick____: depends on the laptop and the issues you have
[14:10] <hackqueer> I use it Nick____ . It works pretty well.
[14:10] <aetoxx> Nick____, depends on what you want. Installation only depends on network speed and hardware.
[14:10] <ikonia> Nick____: some hardware works better than others
[14:10] <aetoxx> Nick____, I think for a laptop unity is 'ok'.
[14:10] <DJones> Nick____: It depends on what hardware is in the laptop, graphics card/network are probably the most common issues
[14:10] <aetoxx> Nick____, I don't recommend it for a desktop.
[14:10] <Nick____> Well, the laptop seems to have issues with its WiFi under windows
[14:11] <ikonia> Nick____: the windows experience isn't a good benchmark for the ubuntu stability
[14:11] <aetoxx> Nick____, livecds are a good test.
[14:11] <Nick____> Alright
[14:11] <Oniklus> newer hardware is generally not very well supported by linux
[14:11] <localjoost> is there a good way to create a full snapshot of 7.04 - just in case anything goes wrong when upgrading?
[14:11] <Psi-Jack> Oniklus: That depends and varies.
[14:11] <ikonia> Oniklus: that's not true at all
[14:11] <Nick____> The laptop is a Toshiba L655-S5150
[14:11] <aetoxx> Also Linux power usage is generally much higher.
[14:11] <Psi-Jack> Oniklus: Laptop hardware, that can very well be true. But server or desktop hardware, completely untrue.
[14:11] <ikonia> Nick____: aetoxx's suggestion of a basic test with a livecd is solid
[14:11] <ikonia> aetoxx: that's not true either
[14:11] <OerHeks> aetoxx, please don't suggest that ubuntu isn't recommended for the desktop, it is not true. also power issues are mostly solved.
[14:12] <Nick____> Alright, I'll give that a show
[14:12] <aetoxx> ikonia, I have never ever seen that.
[14:12] <Nick____> shot*
[14:12] <auronandace> localjoost: 7.04 is ancient, backup the data you need and fresh install
[14:12] <aetoxx> OerHeks, and you should read more carefully.
[14:12] <localjoost> OK ;) will talk my boss into this
[14:12] <hackqueer> well , gaelfx was helping me migrate from my dual boot system( win7 + ubuntu) to only ubuntu , but he left . Can anyone else guide me ?
[14:12] <Psi-Jack> localjoost: 7.04 would not be safe to upgrade.
[14:12] <aetoxx> ikonia, show me the benchmarks of an independent hardware site.
[14:12] <ikonia> aetoxx: I don't have anything like that to hand.
[14:13] <aetoxx> ikonia, if not, don't suggest it isn't true. I have many people who have similar experiences.
[14:13] <Nick____> Also, once installed and assuming everything is fairly stable, how difficult is it to get used to Ubuntu?
[14:13] <ikonia> localjoost: best thing is backup the file systems
[14:13] <ikonia> aetoxx: you're welcome to think it's not true,
[14:13] <ikonia> Nick____: that's up to you really
[14:13] <OerHeks> Nick____, take your time to discover your system.
[14:13] <Nick____> Fair enough. I haven't touched Linux in about... 6 or 7 years
[14:14] <aetoxx> Nick____, are you a 'computer person'?
[14:14] <aetoxx> Nick____, i.e. do you already script/program?
[14:14] <Nick____> Not a lot
[14:14] <aetoxx> Nick____, do you just want to do 'basic tasks'?
[14:14] <aetoxx> Nick____, the basics are easy.
[14:14] <Nick____> On the laptop, yes
[14:14] <aetoxx> Nick____, well, then there shouldn't be any issue.
[14:15] <ikonia> Nick____: https://help.ubuntu.com is not a bad guide on how to do some of the everyday things you want to do
[14:15] <Nick____> The biggest thing the laptop is used for is web browsing and Netflix
[14:15] <ikonia> Nick____: netflix will be a problem
[14:15] <Nick____> Bookmarked
[14:15] <Nick____> Will it?
[14:15] <aetoxx> Nick____, I have no idea about Netflix support.
[14:15] <Psi-Jack> Nick____: Netflix does not yet currently support Linux.
[14:15] <Nick____> Gah
[14:15] <ikonia> Nick____: no way to hide that, netflix will cause you a problem
[14:15] <ikonia> sorry
[14:15] <Nick____> Alright
[14:15] <dedechan_> I do not have /etc/default/dhcp3-server file, anyone knows why ?
[14:15] <aetoxx> Nick____, you can also install Ubuntu in a fullscreen VM.
[14:15] <aetoxx> Nick____, that's a very practical solution for high-end laptops.
[14:16] <Nick____> I jsut finished downloading hte windows installer to my desktop to take a look at it
[14:16] <Psi-Jack> Or, you can install Ubuntu and install Windows in a full-screen virtualbox and run netflix.
[14:16] <Psi-Jack> :)
[14:16] <aetoxx> Psi-Jack, does that work?
[14:16] <Psi-Jack> aetoxx: Yep
[14:16] <T3X> gaelfx: Output of lsusb http://pastebin.com/HUQQaNWe
[14:16] <Nick____> Well, I'm trying to replace windows on the laptop
[14:16] <hackqueer> Can anyone help me migrate from dual boot to only ubuntu ?
[14:16] <T3X> How do i know if my 3TB external Hard driver detected by Ubuntu server 12?
[14:17] <hackqueer> T3X : gaelfx left
[14:17] <ikonia> Nick____: based on netflix, I wouldn't try at this time
[14:17] <ikonia> Nick____: I believe you'll just end up with frustration
[14:17] <Nick____> Fair enough
[14:17] <Nick____> Im guessing it has to do with Silverlight
[14:17] <Psi-Jack> Netflix, IS however working on a Linux solution, as-is Steam. :D
[14:17] <Psi-Jack> Nick____: Currently, yes.
[14:18] <aetoxx> Why do I have 3 dbus-daemon processes running?
[14:18] <Nick____> Psi, more info?
[14:18] <BluesKaj> psi  really ? . I heard rumors to that effect about netflix on linux , but that was over a yr ago.
[14:18] <aetoxx> All of the 'oh noes porting our game-engine is so hard'-stuff is also greatly exaggerated.
[14:18] <BluesKaj> Psi-Jack,^
[14:19] <IdleOne> Please move this fascinating topic of netflix/steam over to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[14:19] <aetoxx> Porting a game-engine costs less than the cost of one license, if I had to guess.
[14:19] <Psi-Jack> BluesKaj: Yep. Well, they started with the Chromebook Chrome extension, which can be hacked up a bit to actually work on Ubuntu, but it's not fun.
[14:19] <j-horowitz> what was the process for obtaining a Microsoft-signed encryption key from VeriSign like?
[14:19] <Psi-Jack> IdleOne: Understood.
[14:19] <j-horowitz> to work with Windows 8 Secure boot systems?
[14:19] <IdleOne> Psi-Jack: thank you.
[14:19] <ikonia> j-horowitz: that solution does not exist yet
[14:19] <j-horowitz> aside from painful
[14:20] <Psi-Jack> j-horowitz: Don't buy hardware that you cannot disable Secure Boot, or add your own custom keys to it. Return any hardware that doesn't allow these. :)
[14:21] <hackqueer> last request of help for the day - can anyone help me migrate from dual boot to only ubuntu ?
[14:21] <j-horowitz> haha Im on your side Psi-Jack, I'm just trying to understand how it works
[14:21] <IdleOne> hackqueer: really is no migrating to be done, backup your data and delete the partition with the OS you no longer wish to use
[14:21] <ikonia> hackqueer: sure, remove the windows partition, re-apply grub
[14:21] <j-horowitz> will you not be able to add custom keys to MSFT windows 8 machineS?
[14:22] <ikonia> j-horowitz: this isn't really an ubuntu question
[14:22] <ikonia> j-horowitz: you may want to try ##hardware or ##windows
[14:22] <hackqueer> I am a noob and my friend helped me install ubuntu. So I dunno how to proceed IdleOne , ikonia
[14:22] <trijntje> Hi all, I wanted to restore a backup of all my packages using dpkg --set-selection, but I've changed my mind. How can I cancel the installation of the packages I have selected?
[14:22] <ikonia> !grub2 > hackqueer
[14:22] <Myrtti> IdleOne: apparently the friend used wubi to install
[14:22] <IdleOne> Myrtti: ah
[14:22] <j-horowitz> ikonia, my apologies, I just figured that it might be related since Ubuntu was considering some options to resolve this issue
[14:22] <ikonia> hackqueer: ubottu has just sent you a link on about how to re-apply grub
[14:23] <ikonia> j-horowitz: I understand that, no need to apologies
[14:23] <hackqueer> yeah friend installed ubuntu using wubi
[14:23] <ikonia> apologise even
[14:23] <ikonia> hackqueer: is this a wubi install you're talking about
[14:23] <ikonia> Myrtti: thank you !
[14:23] <dedechan_> does anyone knoe why I don't have /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf even after "sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server" ?
[14:23] <iamcorbin> anyone know of some simple timeclock software?
[14:23] <hackqueer> and someone here said that lead to installion of ubuntu within windows
[14:23] <ikonia> hackqueer: ok, ignore what I just advised you
[14:23] <ikonia> hackqueer: you can't do what you want to do
[14:23] <hackqueer> ok
[14:23] <hackqueer> :/
[14:24] <IdleOne> hackqueer: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_migrate_to_a_real_partition.2C_and.2BAC8-or_get_rid_of_Windows_entirely.3F
[14:24] <jpmorgan> on ubuntu 12.04, because i have no sound, i removed and then reinstalled pulseaudio. now the volume indicator on the panel is missing. how do i get it back?
[14:25] <hackqueer> looks too confusing for me and I can't take the risk :(
[14:25] <Nick____> Alright folks thanks for the help. Im going to install the windows version and take a look. Take care!
[14:25] <jpmorgan> removing and then reinstalling pulseaudio did not resolve the 'no sound' issue
[14:25] <self> If any one feals like giving this link a look. Im having issues booting from the SSD. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12060355#post12060355
[14:25] <self> Thanks!
[14:25] <IdleOne> hackqueer: Then ask your friend to come over and walk you through it.
[14:25] <hackqueer> yeah IdleOne
[14:26] <IdleOne> hackqueer: I would suggest you do the actual typing while they are there next to you making sure it is done right.
[14:26] <hackqueer> hmm yeah
[14:26] <T3X> How do i know if my 3TB external Hard driver detected by Ubuntu server 12?
[14:27] <trijntje> how can I reset the dpkg desired state of package to the default of a clean install?
[14:27] <IdleOne> T3X: "sudo blkid" does it list the 3tb?
[14:27] <gaelfx> how do you set up irssi to identify when you connect?
[14:28] <hackqueer> thanks for your guidance IdleOne
[14:28] <Combatjuan> I don't know Apache well.  Is it possible to configure a virtual directory such that it represent the union of two actual directories.  Writes would explicitly go to one of the two directories, reads would check for files in any.
[14:29] <ikonia> Combatjuan: no
[14:29] <Psi-Jack> Combatjuan: Negative
[14:29] <Combatjuan> Ok.  Well, I'm disappointed but glad that ikonia and Psi-Jack can say for certain.
[14:29] <T3X> IdleOne: here is the output of blkid http://pastebin.com/XnDqRTN7 .

[14:32] <IdleOne> T3X: I can't tell what is what in that output. I suggested nlkid assuming you would be able to tell
[14:32] <IdleOne> blkid*
[14:33] <gaelfx> Tom_: what specifically seems to be the problem? Also, netbook model might be some good information

[14:34] <Tom_> Thanks! It's Ubuntu 12.04 and an Asus eeePc 1015cx. It can't do anything except 800x600, and it sould be able to do 1024x600.
[14:34] <ataq> Hey all, I am trying to install XBMC distro, its based on ubuntu 11.10. When I try to start up the live cd, the monitor goes out of range. So I switch to bash and cat for an xorg.conf file, but none exists? Does Ubuntu needlessly probe upon every boot for graphics every boot? anyways I cant get X to start for me in range. I am not an Ubuntu User so I never had this problem before, I mainly use FreeBSD. Any suggestions to get this working?
[14:34] <pbjarting> Disks and Linux
[14:34] <pbjarting> Thank you all for the input that I have received from you.
[14:34] <pbjarting> It is very difficult to add and extra SATA disk to an already installed system and take ownership.
[14:34] <pbjarting> I have tried with various GKsudo commands , but it will not work.
[14:34] <pbjarting> I am denied access.
[14:34] <FloodBot1> pbjarting: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:34] <pbjarting> I have reinstalled the whole Linux with all drives present.
[14:34] <xezexal> ikonia I upgraded my system
[14:35] <ikonia> ataq: the guys in the XBMC support resources can help, this channel is only for ubuntu
[14:35] <ikonia> xezexal: I mean what is causing that error/warning
[14:35] <xezexal> I am trying to install stuff via dpkg
[14:35] <pbjarting> sorry
[14:35] <ataq> ikonia: this is on mainstream Ubuntu also, its not just XBMC
[14:35] <ikonia> xezexal: please give me the exact command you are using
[14:35] <ikonia> ataq: I know, but we don't support "based on ubuntu"
[14:36] <xezexal> sudo apt-get install lzma
[14:36] <pbjarting> How may lines ?
[14:36] <ikonia> !info lzma
[14:36] <pbjarting> How many lines ?
[14:36] <ikonia> xezexal: can you pastebin the output of the error please.
[14:36] <gaelfx> Tom_: could you pastebin the output of lspci?
[14:36] <ataq> ikonia: ok well if it was ubuntu, can you tell me how to fix this? Ubuntu forums that I have been reading, dont seem to have a clue
[14:36] <ikonia> ataq: no, because it's not ubuntu
[14:36] <tking> hello guys i have "ADVENT WiFi AIO AW10" i am trying to install the drivers don't know how to go about it
[14:36] <xezexal> dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or is not executable
[14:37] <ikonia> ataq: and fixes on ubuntu may not work on the XMBC release, as they do make changes
[14:37] <ikonia> xezexal: ls -la /sbin/ldconfig
[14:37] <ataq> ikonia: YES, it is Ubuntu, this is a problem in mainstream ubuntu, not just those that are based upon it
[14:37] <dedechan> can someone help with dhcp server configuration please ?
[14:37] <ikonia> ataq: no, it's not ubuntu, it an ubuntu release that someone has modified for their spin, and they support
[14:38] <ataq> ikonia: So you obviously don't know how to fix it either, how can I reconf Xserver on Ubuntu?
[14:38] <xezexal> dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in path or is not executable
[14:38] <ikonia> ataq: I've not even looked at the problem - please stop asking
[14:38] <ikonia> ataq: you're not using ubuntu, so please take it tot he xmbc support resources
[14:38] <Tom_> gaelfx: www.pastebin.com/wa56U6xT
[14:38] <dedechan> I ask on the irc because I've read the How-To's already
[14:38] <ataq> ikonia: the usual nooby Ubuntu experience
[14:38] <ikonia> xezexal: ls -la /sbin/ldconfig
[14:39] <gaelfx> ataq: what he's trying to say is that since there have been changes made to XBMC (though it is Ubuntu based), any fix you might find here might not work on your system. Also, if there's no solution in the forums it's unlikely you'll find one here
[14:39] <ikonia> ataq: nothing nooby about it, I know how to resolve problems, hence why I'm not asking for help
[14:39] <pbjarting> I would very much appreciate if someone could send me a file of the most common GKsudo commands for taking ownership of drives and even the desktop since some a lot of programs are not allowed.
[14:39] <xezexal> ikonia -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root
[14:39] <dedechan> I'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server and it still fails for me
[14:39] <ikonia> xezexal: echo so ldconfig is there and looks fine
[14:40] <ataq> Ya I'll just sort it myself, I'll put debian on, at least its not bloated like Ubuntu
[14:40] <ikonia> xezexal: so check your $PATH.
[14:40] <ikonia> ataq: ok, bye

[14:42] <tking> anyone know how i can get drivers for my printer? make is ADVENT all in one printer
[14:42] <gaelfx> Tom_: well, the good news is that it seems to recognize your graphics card :P
[14:42] <xezexal> /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/games
[14:42] <xezexal> ikonia how do i fix it?
[14:42] <ikonia> xezexal: can you do a test for me please.
[14:42] <raze_> pbjarting: this helped me a lot: http://www.linuxstall.com/linux-command-line-tips-that-every-linux-user-should-know/
[14:42] <xezexal> sure
[14:43] <ikonia> xezexal: please run "sudo -i"
[14:43] <ikonia> xezexal: that will put you into a root shell, so be careful
[14:43] <DJones> tking: What model is the printer
[14:43] <Tom_> gaelfx Hooray! :) I've done some searching, and tried messing around with xorg.conf with no success. I think it might not be using the intel driver, but I don't trust my interpretation of the log file.
[14:43] <xezexal> I'm in sudo
[14:43] <tking> Djones DSGi ADVENT WiFi AIO AW10

[14:44] <ikonia> xezexal: ok, now do "apt-get install $package"
[14:44] <pbjarting> Thanks raze I will buy you a beer.
[14:44] <ikonia> xezexal: replace package with what you want to re-install
[14:45] <DJones> tking: It suggests that there aren't any linux drivers for that printer, thats a 6 month old article
[14:45] <tking> DJones, ok will try
[14:46] <xezexal> ikonia 2 programs or not in the PATH or not executable
[14:46] <ikonia> xezexal: echo now type this
[14:46] <ikonia> xezexal: "PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
[14:46] <ikonia> xezexal: then "export PATH"
[14:46] <Tom_> gaelfx: The log file is here: www.pastebin.com/aTFCKMzC -- I skipped a long probably irrelevant part in the middle, where the .....'s are.
[14:46] <ikonia> xezexal: then retry the install
[14:46] <gaelfx> Tom_: also, not sure if you saw this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1953734&page=15
[14:46] <ikonia> eg: apt-get install test-package
[14:47] <gaelfx> Tom_: from the sounds of it, it's not toally supported still (those CPUs are still fairly new, so it's kind of to be expected)
[14:47] <DaemonWitch> hey
[14:48] <Tom_> gaelfx: Is it worth trying http://daily.siebler.eu/2012/06/ubuntu-12-04-driver-for-intel-cedarview-atom-n2000-und-d2000-serie/ or might that break things?
[14:48] <gaelfx> Tom_: always the chance to break things, but lemme take a look at the article first
[14:48] <Tom_> gaelfx: OK, thanks!
[14:49] <xezexal> ldconfig and ikonia it is working
[14:49] <ikonia> xezexal: that's great news
[14:50] <DaemonWitch> I try to install ubuntu on my laptop which has 2 gpu's (1 integrated and 1 discrete) and the screen remains black. Is there a way it can detect both of my cards? Or at least tell it to use the discrete gpu?
[14:50] <gaelfx> Tom_: well, since it's a PPA, it's not technically supported, but I would imagine it wouldn't break things too bad, you can always disable that PPA if it doesn't work
[14:51] <Tom_> gaelfx: OK thanks, I'll try it. Otherwise, I guess I'll have to wait until something is released properly. Thanks for your help!
[14:51] <gaelfx> Tom_: yeah, good luck, I hope it works out well! I almost bought one of those myself, but I decided to get a 1225b instead :P

[15:10] <Tom_> gaelfx: 1024x600
[15:10] <philinux> linuxnoob: just type in ubiquity I guess. Long time ago since I had to do that
[15:10] <XiRoN> Hi I have a problem which I put in the pastebin could someone take a look at it, http://pastebin.com/msay1K4S, I'm trying to create FTP user accounts in a bash script.
[15:11] <linuxnoob> @philinux thanks. brb
[15:11] <gaelfx> Tom_: that seems rather weird
[15:11] <SolarAquarion> I'm am having problems with dpkg
[15:11] <Tom_> gaelfx: Oh wait, the mouse does occasionally flash up in the top left corner.
[15:11] <MrRandom222> does anyone know what changes ubuntu does to soundcards? i got a realtek hd
[15:12] <gaelfx> haha
[15:12] <Tom_> gaelfx: Is there a terminal command to restart the taskbar?
[15:12] <gaelfx> how can I restart NFS?
[15:12] <gaelfx> Tom_: probably, but I don't know what it is, ask these other folks though, surely one of them does :D
[15:12] <Laurenceb> hi
[15:13] <lcabreza1> gaelfx: logoff and log back in ..
[15:13] <Laurenceb> can anyone here help me with environmental variables?
[15:13] <Laurenceb> im confused
[15:13] <Laurenceb> im trying to install cadsoft eagle 6.2 on 10.04lts
[15:13] <zykotick9> gaelfx: restart nfs server or client?
[15:13] <spacebug-> gaelfx: sudo /etc/rc2.d/S20nfs-kernel-server restart
[15:13] <gaelfx> lcabreza1: yeah, I was looking for a solution that didn't involve that
[15:13] <gaelfx> zykotick9: client
[15:14] <Laurenceb> it works, but i have to start it from the terminal using export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/laurence/libeagle
[15:14] <Laurenceb> how can i fix this so i can run it from the menu?
[15:15] <Tom_> Does anyone know a terminal command to restart the task bar (in gnome classic) - mine's disappeared, want to see if I can get it back.
[15:15] <zykotick9> gaelfx: umount your nfs mounts, then remount.  "sudo mount -a" will remount everything from fstab (but i'd guess they'd have to be unmounted first)
[15:15] <lcabreza1> gaelfx: kidding ..use this command sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[15:15] <SolarAquarion> I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH DPKG
[15:16] <tyler_> Hey everyone, I have a question regarding Glade and Quickly. Is it possible to map a button to a notebook within the same program. Like say for instance I have a toolbar with a button on it. Can I link it to, say page 3, on the notebook widget?
[15:16] <MonkeyDust> SolarAquarion  caps
[15:16] <SolarAquarion> I know no caps
[15:16] <gaelfx> zykotick9: ok, you wouldn't have any idea why my NFS is really slow some times, would you?
[15:17] <zykotick9> gaelfx: nope.  i use nfs extensively, never had a slowness issue?  good luck.
[15:17] <jpmorgan> ok im trying to get volume indicator back on 12.04 unity panel. i killed the unity panel service and that didn't work. all the fixes i've found for restoring the volume indicator so far are for the gnome environment for 12.04
[15:17] <r00t__> Hey guys. Is there any facial recognition software that works with the current release of ubuntu?
[15:18] <MonkeyDust> gaelfx  is it an external usb disk?
[15:18] <larry_> erl
[15:18] <LjL> r00t__: i think the latest digikam can do that, with libkface
[15:19] <r00t__> LjL: can you link me?
[15:19] <LjL> r00t__: link? "sudo apt-get install digikam"
[15:20] <SolarAquarion> errors were ecountered while processing lcdproc
[15:20] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: yeah, on the other computer, but as I've said, it's only slow sometimes, most of the time, it works fine, which leads me to believe that it's a client side issue
[15:21] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: I've never had to reset the server machine to get it going fast, only had to restart my client one or two times to get it going fast again
[15:21] <T3X> How do i know if my 3TB external Hard driver detected by Ubuntu server 12?
[15:21] <MonkeyDust> gaelfx  i have that too, eternal usb on a remote PC, to which I use NFS -- USB may be slow
[15:22] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: it's USB 3.0, if that makes any difference
[15:22] <milne8204> Hello all my ggole-chrome does not start any ideas ?
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> gaelfx  that's newer than what I have, even the PC is 10 years old ;)
[15:22] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: haha, well, it's a PCI card
[15:23] <d8bhatta> Hello, I am getting server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting error in amazon server log..how can i solve this issue
[15:24] <BluesKaj> milne8204, open a terminal and try it , check for errors
[15:24] <gaelfx> well, I guess I'll just have to reboot til it works :P
[15:26] <Mikato> hello
[15:26] <Mikato> guys....
[15:28] <angs> When I connect to an ubuntu device through the serial cable by "screen /dev/ttyUSB1 115200", the terminal shows output very messy http://paste.ubuntu.com/1064482/  how can I fix it?
[15:31] <Mikato> i have ubuntu installed by parallels on macbook and some time ago was upgrading to newest version but when i try to boot up the ubuntu is hang and on screen is something like this "Ann Error occurred while mounting /media/psf" type S for skip or M for manual fix that, how do i fix this?
[15:31] <milne8204> BluesKaj, I have tried but nothing happen just stay google-chrome and nothing happend
[15:32] <BluesKaj> milne8204, have you considered chromium instead , it's in the repos and it will synch with google-chrome on other OSs like windows
[15:33] <krabador> hi people, i've a Radeon 9600 Pro, and in ubuntu 12.04 i can't install the latest amd drivers available for this card by amd
[15:34] <nemetroid> hi, i'm trying to run firefox over a ssh connection and i can't get it to work. other x programs (xeyes etc) work fine. i've tried -no-profile. any ideas?
[15:34] <milne8204> BluesKaj, i thing it does not work sins yesterday
[15:35] <DaemonWitch> hey i got a usb with kubuntu installed on it. I need to load the vesa video driver, what parameter should i append at the kernel line at grub boot?
[15:36] <ericus> Hi all
[15:37] <r00t__> How can I use digikam as a login tool?
[15:37] <ericus> Would it be possible to run Ubuntu as a host OS and then ClearOS as a virtual machine for firewall/DHCP?
[15:37] <Psi-Jack> r00t__: You don't.
[15:37] <BluesKaj> nemetroid, try the dbus-launch firefox at the prompt
[15:37] <lcc> can I do the adaptive workspaces feature in gnome 3 classic?
[15:37] <ericus> like: WAN > Ubuntu (with ClearOS vbox) > switch > other computers
[15:37] <r00t__> Psi-Jack: someone here told me to...hm. What tool can I use as a facial recognition login?
[15:37] <AssociateX> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ <--- this shows that I have I have the flash plugin installed and "up to date". With Chromium chrome://plugins shows flash and I have it checked allow, but flash does not work in either browser. Any ideas? I spent many hours on this and even did a fresh install, same thing.
[15:37] <ericus> and have ClearOS to manage all the traffic?
[15:38] <ericus> even for the host system
[15:38] <LjL> r00t__: you didn't ask for a *login* face recognition software, you asked for a generic "facial recognition software".
[15:38] <bschott> Kernal Panic - Not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)   anyone have experiance with repairing this issue?
[15:39] <r00t__> LjL: Oh, sorry. I thought I had been more clear
[15:39] <Psi-Jack> heh
[15:39] <r00t__> LjL: Any idea on what login facial recognition software I can use?
[15:39] <LjL> r00t__: maybe try this http://anantkalra.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/55/ but no guarantees at all, i just found it while googling
[15:39] <r00t__> LjL: thanks
[15:40] <litropy> Hi, all - hope you're having a good day. I have 4GB of RAM, yet Ubuntu is only reporting 2.9 GB total. See link for $ free -m: http://pastebin.com/tcR7heuE
[15:40] <unsecur3d> Ok, that was too sick, just like my htc vivid
[15:40] <Mikato> i have ubuntu installed by parallels on macbook and some time ago was upgrading to newest version but when i try to boot up the ubuntu is hang and on screen is something like this "Ann Error occurred while mounting /media/psf" type S for skip or M for manual fix that, how do i fix this?
[15:41] <unsecur3d> do u have 4 1gb ram sticks or 1 gb ram stick
[15:41] <bschott> I don't mean to be forward but there is customer data on a laptop with a linux installation that is giving me the unable to mount root error I listed above.   MY job could be on the line.  Any help is welcome.
[15:42] <hypontaod> Go buy some ram?
[15:42] <Oniklus> litropy: you need the 64 bit version of ubuntu
[15:42] <unsecur3d> litropy
[15:42] <unsecur3d> or that... :P
[15:42] <AssociateX> flash-aid did not help either.
[15:42] <litropy> Oniklus, wow. I imagine I'd have to backup and start fresh, huh.
[15:43] <bschott> Perhaps it is an error that no-one knows how to fix?
[15:44] <bschott> or it is a Linux bug
[15:44] <researcher123> how to creat a root user in Ubuntu 12.04?
[15:45] <BluesKaj> bschott, maybe , but if you have alive-cd handy youmight be able to mount the drive/partition with : sudo mount /dev/sdX /mnt  ..X being the partion
[15:46] <BluesKaj> or even retrieve the data once mounted , bschott
[15:47] <genii-around> researcher123: Ubuntu is designed to be used without having an enabled root user. Admin stuff is done with sudo from a user which is in the administrative group ( the first user created is an admin by default, subsequent users are not )
[15:47] <src> I need to install Blender2.63a from a .tar.bz2 archive, how do I do this?
[15:47] <Kingsy> has anyone in here ever loaded their operating system into RAM for speed?
[15:48] <litropy> Kingsy, what?!
[15:48] <Kingsy> litropy: what?
[15:48] <genii-around> src: Why not instead sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cheleb/blender-svn
[15:49] <litropy> Has anyone in here put their car into thier engine to make it go faster?
[15:50] <Kingsy> litropy: huh? this is a viable solution.. I have actually discussed it before
[15:50] <src> genii-around: the guys on #blender told me Ubuntu Software Centre was unsupported and I need to install from .tar.bz2 (They didn't really care that I had installed from USF before and it worked fine)
[15:50] <upr0> Hello
[15:51] <XiRoN> I'm making a simple bash script and I want to carry a parament from the script into the script as a variable, for example I would like to type "test.sh HellowWorld" and I could then print that parameter onto the screen.
[15:51] <XiRoN> *parament = parameter
[15:52] <AssociateX> what should the permissions be for  /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
[15:52] <src> How do I install from a .tar.bz2
[15:52] <genii-around> src: Installing it from the ppa instead of trying to compile it from source somehow invalidates getting help from #blender? Bizarre
[15:52] <Pici> XiRoN: Its $1 iirc, and #bash should be able to help you for further questions
[15:53] <XiRoN> #bash
[15:53] <genii-around> src: They should help you with the compiling of it then :-)
[15:53] <angs> I connect an ubuntu embedded device by "screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200" and the output is not readable http://pastebin.com/GaLJ84dH  what could be the problem?
[15:53] <litropy> XiRoN, type, "/join #bash"
[15:53] <XiRoN> I know :P
[15:53] <researcher123> How can I execute this command as a root in terminal /etc/init.d/vboxdvr setup Please help
[15:53] <genii-around> !sudo | researcher123
[15:54] <src> genii-around, There was a bug in my version and they told me to compile from a .tar.bz2 (Which I don't know how to do)
[15:54] <quixotedon> researcher123: start with sudo
[15:54] <genii-around> researcher123: As i already explainerd earlier when you asked about making a root user
[15:55] <MacroMan> Is there a terminal command that will tell me how many lines are in a file?
[15:56] <litropy> MacroMan, try "man wc"
[15:56] <MacroMan> litropy: Thanks. I'll try
[15:57] <tiger> hey guys ubuntu realse 12.10?
[15:57] <Pici> tiger: its not October yet.
[15:57] <tiger> or am i traped?
[15:57] <tiger> 12.10 will be in october?
[15:57] <genii-around> tiger: The 12.10 in the number means 10th month of 2012
[15:57] <BluesKaj> alpha 12.10 is out
[15:57] <tiger> but found a video in youtube that show upgrading 12.04 to 12.10
[15:58] <genii-around> tiger: 12.04 is April 2012 for instance
[15:58] <tiger> so now i can upgrade to 12.10?
[15:59] <genii-around> tiger: It is not recommended until that version is in actual release
[15:59] <philinux> tiger: you'll be asking for breakage if you do
[15:59] <genii-around> src: You should at least find out from them what libraries it requires
[15:59] <BluesKaj> tiger,  if your pc in the workplace , not recommended
[15:59] <tiger> if i want to then i can?
[16:00] <tiger> i have home pc
[16:00] <philinux> tiger: only recommended on a spare pc or hard drive
[16:00] <tiger> i am using home pc
[16:00] <philinux> tiger:  join #ubuntu+1
[16:00] <tiger> i only want to conferm that 12.10 actual ubuntu or someonelse
[16:00] <DJones> tiger: You should ask in #ubuntu+1 thats the support channel for 12.10 until October when its released, there may be bugs & breakages for your hardware over the next few months
[16:00] <philinux> tiger: I'm running it now on this alptop
[16:01] <tiger> ok brother
[16:01] <tiger> i am using laptop
[16:01] <litropy> tiger, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseSchedule
[16:01] <tiger> one more question brother
[16:01] <tiger> my software-center doesnot working
[16:02] <tiger> when i click on install button software doesnot install
[16:03] <src> How do I install from a .tar.bz2 package?
[16:03] <quixotedon> tiger: ubuntu 12.10 should be released in October while what you might find around is the beta version which is for development purpose
[16:04] <MacroMan> litropy: wc -l worked great. Thanks
[16:04] <litropy> Yw, MacroMan
[16:05] <Mandalord> src:  extract it, and read the manual
[16:05] <eutheria> i have a laptop coming with 12gb of ram, should i create a swap partition?
[16:05] <src> Mandalord, Manual on what?
[16:06] <DJones> eutheria: Are you likely to hibernate or suspend that laptop?
[16:06] <eutheria> DJones, nope
[16:06] <eutheria> suspend doesn't need to push to disk
[16:06] <compdoc> eutheria, might as well - it not like ti takes much room
[16:07] <Mandalord> src: Manual of how to install that package, may be from some files extracted from .tar.bz2, may be from the website of the package
[16:07] <eutheria> well 12gb is 5% of my 256ssd
[16:07] <src> Mandalord, Right, thanks
[16:07] <DJones> eutheria: I'd be tempted to say its probably doesn't need swap with that amount of ram, but for the price of disk space now, I'd create something, even if its only a couple of gb
[16:07] <eutheria> DJones, well maybe when i get a 512gb ssd
[16:08] <eutheria> ssd space is sort of expensive
[16:08] <DJones> eutheria: Thats true
[16:09] <eutheria> also it will dual boot so it will be 10% of the disk
[16:10] <eutheria> why can't windows use ext4
[16:10] <tiger> guys i am having problem in software-center
[16:11] <edwinkcw> eutheria: you have to ask microsoft...not here
[16:12] <AssociateX> What should the permissions be for  /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so ?
[16:12] <eutheria> edwinkcw, i don't think i will get an answer, not even to tell me to get lost ;)
[16:14] <L3top> AssociateX:  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17406436 Jun 28 08:09 libflashplayer.so
[16:14] <AssociateX> L3top, thank you.
[16:14] <litropy> tiger, if you "/join #ubuntu+1" they might help you with upgrading. I'm not sure what's going on with your software center. Pay attention to any errors it's giving you upon loadup and google them since no one here can currently help.
[16:14] <st_iron> hello
[16:14] <L3top> For the record, flash is behaving well AssociateX after upgrade
[16:15] <tiger> no right now i am in 12.04
[16:15] <quixotedon> st_iron: hello, any concern?
[16:15] <litropy> tiger, I know.
[16:15] <tiger> i still did not upgrade coz they saying its still in beta so might some problem
[16:15] <AssociateX> L3top, http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ <--- this shows that I have I have the flash plugin installed and "up to date". With Chromium chrome://plugins shows flash and I have it checked allow, but flash does not work in either browser. Any ideas? I spent many hours on this and even did a fresh install, same thing.
[16:15] <tiger> i am in root
[16:15] <quixotedon> tiger: software centre problem is on 12.04?
[16:15] <st_iron> I ran into a flash issue: the playback is like fast forwarding out of the blue...
[16:15] <st_iron> is it a known issue, or somebody met with it before?
[16:15] <tiger> yes
[16:15] <quixotedon> have you updated your 12.04 to the latest version?
[16:16] <tiger> in 12.04 having problem
[16:16] <st_iron> quixotedon: without any modification, it started to behave like this... normal 12.04 install
[16:16] <tiger> yes updated
[16:16] <tiger> i am able to install from apt-get install
[16:16] <L3top> I am a bit perplexed by your problem AssociateX. What is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA
[16:17] <AssociateX> L3top,  lspci -nn | grep VGA
[16:17] <AssociateX> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] [10de:0322] (rev a1)
[16:18] <litropy> tiger, you can try "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade"
[16:18] <L3top> aha... AssociateX what is the output of dpkg-query -l nvidia* | grep ^ii
[16:18] <tiger> it will upgrade to 12.10?
[16:18] <eutheria> can 12.04 encrypt an ssd during install?
[16:18] <L3top> should only be a line or two... if any output.
[16:19] <litropy> tiger, no, but that's essentially what upgrading in software center does
[16:19] <tiger> apptitue does not working i changed ot apt-get
[16:19] <litropy> Tiger, that's fine. After that, try "update-manager -d" to attempt an upgrade to 12.10
[16:19] <AssociateX> L3top,  dpkg-query -l nvidia* | grep ^ii
[16:19] <AssociateX> ii  nvidia-common                          1:0.2.44                                Find obsolete NVIDIA drivers
[16:20] <dudol> Hello.
[16:20] <tiger> all right my brother
[16:20] <litropy> tiger, but keep in mind it's really unstable right now, and your system sounds like it might not take it.
[16:20] <dudol> How do I figure which Ubuntu version I am running?
[16:20] <tiger> ohhhhhhhh
[16:20] <Pici> dudol: lsb_release -a
[16:20] <L3top> AssociateX: is that all?
[16:20] <AssociateX> L3top, yes
[16:21] <tiger> then i must wait for it
[16:21] <L3top> AssociateX: sudo apt-get install nvidia-173        I suspect the problem lies between flash update and the nouveau driver.
