[10:30] <readme> I've got gnome3 here, trying it for the first time. When attempting to change the wm theme (window decor) with gnome-tweak-tool, nothing happens. Are certain themes incompatible with Gnome3?
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> !info gmp
[10:30] <caddoo> does anyone have a sendmail.mc config file I can see that they only use for SMTP
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> c0rnel: unload and reload the driver module
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> c0rnel: do you dual boot?
[10:33] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, no
[10:33] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, and it seems that the driver is not loaded
[10:33] <AdvoWork> I'm using chrome, and printing to pdf. The default name it gives is output.pdf  is there anyway to change this?
[10:33] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, i also have one static ethernet over usb connection
[10:34] <c0rnel> let's disconnect that
[10:35] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, is this the restricted drivers problem coming from debian?
[10:37] <c0rnel> it's an intel netcard
[10:38] <Guest9700> hAllo
[10:38] <caddoo> right I've royally f'ed my sendmail conf file

[10:47] <ace> it s not possible to create a ext3 3To partition with a ubuntu 32b?
[10:48] <leonardomartinez> #ubuntu
[10:48] <ikonia> ace: sorry what ?
[10:48] <ace> I have a 32b ubuntu  10.04
[10:48] <ace> and a 3To harddrive and i want to have one partition
[10:49] <ace> 3Tbytes sorry
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> ace: sure, the arch doesn't limit drive space
[10:50] <ace> ah ok
[10:50] <ace> i have to use parted instead of fdisk
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> ace: you can go up to 16Tb with Ext3
[10:50] <ace> k
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> Ext4 has a maximum of 1Eb volume size :)
[10:51] <ace> lol nice
[10:52] <ace> 1Eb should be enough for everyone
[10:52] <dpny> The first HD I ever had was a whopping 40MB. Was huge.
[10:52] <niviej> .
[10:53] <ikonia> ace: if you want a partition larger than 2TB, you'll need to use a GPT partition table, rather than MS-Dos
[10:53] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, not working
[10:53] <Guest88088> ciao
[10:53] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, just sitsthere doing nothing

[10:53] <nooba> hi. I'm trying to use the fglrx drivers with my ati card. The issue is that for some reason I can't use any opengl extensions unless I manually set LD_PRELOAD to fglrx/libGL.so. update-alternatives is set properly, and this is my opengl vendor string: 1.4 (2.1 (4.2.11627 Compatibility Profile Context))
[10:53] <ikonia> ace: sorry for the slow response
[10:54] <c0rnel> how can i tell ubuntu to show the grub menu at boot?

[10:54] <ActionParsnip> c0rnel: are there lights around the ethernet cable, and flashing
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> goddard: don't bin it, just rockbox it :)
[10:55] <dubaco> ActionParsnip, i am trying to make a windows live bootable usb with ubuntu
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> dubaco: unetbootin can do it if you format FAT32 first
[10:57] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, much to my surprise
[10:57] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, there were no lights :(
[10:57] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, i've switched to another connection and now everything is happy
[10:57] <c0rnel> ActionParsnip, thank you very mcuh

[10:59] <hellknight> how can I batch convert AVI files to MP4 in Ubuntu?
[11:00] <KayAteChef> ffmpeg
[11:00] <bazhang> hellknight, handbrake
[11:00] <hellknight> that will require a PPA right?
[11:00] <bazhang> hellknight, there is no batch
[11:00] <As> Hi i'am asking about root filesystem : who creats those directories initrd ??
[11:01] <hellknight> As, it is created during installation by the installer
[11:01] <bazhang> hellknight, yes its a ppa
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> hellknight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AndroidVideoEncoding#Expert_mode:_Using_mencoder_.28command_line.29
[11:01] <hellknight> bazhangm thanks
[11:01] <bazhang> hellknight, jstebbins
[11:01] <Xabster> don't lie to him, hellknight, we all know it's a leprechaun in your chassis
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> As: the installer makes them
[11:01] <bazhang> Xabster, ?
[11:02] <Xabster> sup
[11:02] <As> ActionParsnip, what you mean by installer ?
[11:02] <bazhang> Xabster, thats not helpful
[11:02] <schnuffle1> As: initrd is the initial boot disk and its created by mkinitrd which is triggered by several programms
[11:02] <Xabster> oh come on
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> As: the ubuntu installer makes the files on your file system
[11:02] <bazhang> Xabster, thisis support only. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[11:02] <hellknight> ActionParsnip, it says that mencoder mp4 can't be read by mobile devices.. that's what I want to do with those AVI files
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> hellknight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoEncoding has a nice script
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> hellknight: http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/136694-automated-ffmpeg-convert-bash-script.html
[11:03] <As> the installer is a part of kernel job ?
[11:03] <hellknight> ActionParsnip, thanks
[11:04] <Xabster> bazhang, your 3 last sentences broke the same rule
[11:04] <schnuffle1> As: What do you mean with kernel job?
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> As: the ubuntu installer, when you installed the OS made the initrd files and so forth
[11:04] <hellknight> As, actually, it is created by the installer.. Aptitude in Ubuntu..
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> hellknight: aptitude isn't default installed i ubuntu
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> hellknight: so how can it create something when it doesn't exist?
[11:04] <As> i mean it's the job of the kernel ?
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> As: what is the job of the kernel?
[11:05] <hellknight> Actionparsnip, then what application/script does the installation? Anaconda installer does the job in Fedora
[11:05] <LjL> Xabster: unfortunately when people cause noise in the channel they have to be warned. but if you prefer, i guess you can be kicked without a warning next time :P
[11:06] <bazhang> hellknight, ubiquity
[11:06] <bazhang> hellknight, thats for the livecd, debian-installer is the alternate cd
[11:06] <As> kernel=vmlinuz
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> As: you lost me now
[11:07] <Matisse> hi
[11:08] <hellknight> bazhang, thanks
[11:08] <hellknight> I'm new to Ubuntu been using Fedora & Arch Linux since 4-5 years
[11:09] <Matisse> At the moment I can only boot from harddisk using install cd. So the MBR must be broken. But Grub is allright. The ubuntuwiki suggests to install grub... this confuses me. Does this install keep all the entries?
[11:09] <kklimonda> hmm, anyone got idea how to keep system language at en_US but change the default language for new users to some other?
[11:10] <brewmanz> anyone know how to get ubuntu 11.10 to recongise new monitor? switch from CRT to LCD & no new sizes recognised
[11:10] <As> i mean that the installer is one of the tasks of the kernel ?
[11:10] <ahhughes_> hey, I just installed xbmc and its complaining about opengl being unsupported... looks like I don't have the nvidia (GT540m) graphics drivers installed / running. But this is some doco for my laptop, what is the optimus card switching ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Asus_N53#nVidia_Optimus_video_card_switching
[11:10] <hellknight> Handbrake is fast on Linux than on Windows.. nice..
[11:11] <hellknight> As, no it is not a task of the kernel.. it is a task of a specific application like Anaconda or Ubiquity..
[11:11] <As> ok i understand
[11:11] <hellknight> ahhughes_, it is a technology that can switch between the onboard graphics card & a dedicated one.
[11:11] <fidel> ahhughes_: its the option to use a 3d powered nv card vs a low-spec intel one
[11:12] <hellknight> ahhughes_, like when you're playing a game then it uses dedicated card like GT540m & when you're surfing then it uses the onboard one
[11:12] <ahhughes_> fidel, hellknight well I obviously want the dedicated gt540
[11:12] <fidel> the nv card will need way more energy - affects battery
[11:12] <ahhughes_> no probs
[11:12] <hellknight> ahhughes_, the onboard card of your laptop can decode HD video.. & I don't think that Optimus is supported in Linux right now
[11:12] <fidel> so personaly i disabled the dedicated in my laptop and ended up with a pretty awesome battery usage
[11:13] <ahhughes_> well, something has to give xbmc OpenGL supprt...
[11:13] <OerHeks> yes it is, check bumblebee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee & the #Bumblebee irc channel on freenode
[11:13] <hellknight> ahhughes_, what error are you getting excatly?
[11:14] <hariom> I am on ubuntu 10.04 and I am trying to install php5, but In my system, when I type: whereis php  . I don't get the location of php interpreter. I have tried reinstalling php5 and php5-common
[11:14] <ikonia> hariom: php5 is the apache module, php5-cli is the command line interperpreter
[11:14] <erkan^> !firefox
[11:15] <hariom> ikonia: So in order to run a php script without apache httpd, should I install only php5-cli?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: doesn't ironhide supercede that?
[11:16] <schnuffle1> hariom: yes
[11:16] <ahhughes_>  error is "XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering. Install an appropriate graphics driver."
[11:16] <hariom> ikonia: I see people writing #!/usr/bin/php where does this php in bin comes?
[11:16] <ahhughes_> hellknight, ^^
[11:17] <OerHeks> ActionParsnip, i am not sure, optimus is still using double xorg
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: yeah, its a real mess imho
[11:18] <hellknight> ahhuges_, hmm.. so your onboard card isn't supported by XBMC.. Have you installed the official NVIDIA drivers?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> ahhughes_: what nvidia chip do you use?
[11:20] <ahhughes_> ActionParsnip, NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM     source   http://www.asus.com.au/Notebooks/Multimedia_Entertainment/N53SV/#specifications
[11:20] <schnuffle1> hariom: /usr/bin/php comes from the package php-cli
[11:20] <ahhughes_> hellknight, No, I have not installed official drivers
[11:20] <hellknight> ahhuges_, that is a very powerful graphics card..
[11:21] <hariom> schnuffle1: yea, I got it. Thanks
[11:21] <schnuffle1> hariom: apt-file can help to find a package that contains the file
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> ahhughes_: run:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> ahhughes_: gives the 295 driver
[11:22] <ahhughes_> whats the 295 driver if you dont mind me asking?
[11:23] <fidel> ahhughes_: version of the nv driver
[11:23] <fidel> most likely
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> ahhughes_: latest one from nvidia....
[11:24] <ahhughes_> kewl, I'll take one of those
[11:24] <fidel> the normal 11.10 repos should offer version 280 - which is pretty old
[11:26] <ahhughes_> fidel, I dont get any "additional drivers" listed for my hardware.... hrmmmm see if ActionParsnip's advice fixes my lack of opengl support / driver :)
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> fidel: its fine for some chips, depends what you have
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> !info nvidia-current
[11:29] <OerHeks> ActionParsnip, i think x-swat ppa provides gt540 support > https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/+packages
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> OerHeks: may update the xorg version thouugh, the one I gave is less fresh / more stable :)
[11:32] <ahhughes_> how can I restart xserver?
[11:33] <schnuffle1> ahhughes_: restart the display amanger: services lightdm restart
[11:33] <schnuffle1> service
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> ahhughes_: I use:  killall -u $USER
[11:34] <Zenger> Hi guys
[11:35] <Zenger> I have a few computers in my office, they all are in ubuntu box. I would like to setup a network , so I could access files from other pc's.
[11:35] <Zenger> Should I install samba ?
[11:35] <Zenger> Or is there some other way which doesn't require any additional software ?
[11:35] <schnuffle1> Zenger: NFS can do the job
[11:35] <Zenger> schnuffle1: doc ?
[11:36] <schnuffle1> Zenger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[11:36] <ahhughes_> ActionParsnip, or just restart the machine?
[11:39] <fidel> 4
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Zenger: samba will be easier and allow windows users to connect easily :)
[11:42] <kpow_> windows ultimate and enterprise can mount nfs...just fyi
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> might just have home edition..
[11:43] <schnuffle1>  Zenger: I have a few computers in my office, they all are in ubuntu box.
[11:43] <somebody__> hey, i want to write a bash script that finds all tex documents in a folder (find . -type f -iname ".tex") and then uses sed to attach two lines, one line after the first to add \begin{refsection} and one second to last \end{refsection). can someone please help me with the correct sed command?
[11:43] <Zenger> schnuffle1: and ?
[11:44] <schnuffle1> Zenger: that was just for the other poeple to show you have a ubuntu only setup
[11:44] <somebody__> * -iname "*.tex" of courese
[11:44] <kpow> somebody__, sed s/sed/perl -e/g
[11:44] <DMJC> does ubuntu specifically rely on kernel components to run?
[11:45] <Zenger> schnuffle1: well they are only ubuntu boxes, but there might be some windows users.
[11:45] <schnuffle1> Zenger: But they are still right that if you want your users to be able to create shares, better use Samba
[11:45] <DMJC> eg if I run a modern ubuntu install, is it possible to downgrade to an older kernel?
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> somebody__: ask in #bash too
[11:45] <somebody__> kpow, that would only replace sed with perl no?
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> DMJC: if you can find the debs, sure. How well it will work when you boot it isa different thing altogether
[11:45] <somebody__> ActionParsnip, i'll do that, thanks
[11:45] <schnuffle1> Zenger: The link I gave you should explain it by the way
[11:46] <Zenger> schnuffle1: okay, thank you
[11:46] <DMJC> I've got a kernel 3.2 system with LSI Megaraid issues. next to it is a centos install that works fine, the kernels are basically the main difference
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> DMJC: precise isn't supported here
[11:47] <DMJC> I'm just trying to get an opinion/feel for whether it would be likely to work or would kill libc or something else
[11:47] <bekks> DMJC: Why exactly do you want to downgrade the kernel?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> DMJC: please ask in #ubuntu+1 ntil release day
[11:48] <DMJC> bekks: because the current kernel/driver combination is causing my raid controller to drop off the system under heavy load
[11:48] <schnuffle1> DMJC: it should be possible
[11:49] <DMJC> thanks
[11:51] <ahhughez> nooooooo, ActionParsnip... I did what (sorry you can see the log history I cant) said... `sudo service lighdm restart` now my laptop won't boot.

[11:54] <bazhang> !ppa-purge | savage_
[11:54] <savage_> I thought just doing 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade' would do this, but that doesn't seem to work.

[11:57] <schnuffle1> myhero: restart display manager
[11:57] <savage_> so ppa-purge can't help me
[11:57] <myhero> how to restaert display manager ?
[11:57] <schnuffle1> myhero:  should be something like service restart lightdm

[12:04] <ActionParsnip> ahhughez: your monitor isn't great and isn't talking back to the system, so the driver cannot load. You may need an xorg.conf file which nvidia-xconfig generates to TELL the system how to work
[12:04] <meet> will fifa 12 work on ubuntu through wine?
[12:04] <fhsales> I am trying to watch a movie on my ubuntu 11.10 but when i ope the archive it saysCould not find GStreamer caps mapping for FFmpeg codec 'h264', and you are using an external libavcodec
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | meet
[12:04] <ikonia> meet: very doubtful
[12:04] <fhsales> does anyone know how to solve my problem?
[12:04] <ikonia> meet: bottom line - want to play windows guys, run windows
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> fhsales: what players have you tried?
[12:05] <meet> fhsales try  installin restricted extras through software center
[12:05] <ikonia> fhsales: do you have the h264 gstreamer codec installed ?
[12:05] <fhsales> just the movie player that comes along with ubuntu. THe video is a .mkv 720p
[12:05] <ahhughez> ActionParsnip, copy :) says... Unable to write to directory /etc/X11 wtf.... this is as root of course too.
[12:05] <ikonia> ahhughez: no need for "wtf"
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> fhsales: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted extras vlc gnome-mplayer
[12:05] <fhsales> oh isse. ikonia no i did not install anything. ill try installing the gstreamer.thanks.
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> ahhughez: possibly mounted read only..
[12:06] <ikonia> ahhughez: how are you trying to write to the directory
[12:06] <ahhughez> nvidia-xconfig  as root
[12:07] <ahhughez> I chose the "shell as root" option under recovery mode.
[12:08] <ahhughez> Im definately up the creek here :/
[12:08] <schnuffle1> ahhughez: are your partitions mounted?
[12:09] <ahhughez> ahhh yes, tried touch and says "Read-only file system"
[12:10] <fhsales> ikonia:  how do i get the H264 codec?
[12:10] <simonsays1980> I have problems to locate the following ppa: ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test. does it work on your systems?
[12:10] <fhsales> ActionParsnip: when i put the command in the terminal it says unable to locate package ubuntu-restricted
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> fhsales: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras vlc gnome-mplayer
[12:12] <ahhughez> so, yes... I need to mount / so it is writeable to fix this problem.... again I have no idea how todo this :'(
[12:12] <fhsales> ActionParsnip: Now it worked :)
[12:14] <schnuffle1> ahhughez: fdisk -l to see a list of your partitions, then mount /dev/sdxY / where xy is the partition which keeps root
[12:14] <Manulot> which day will launch 12.04?
[12:14] <ubuntu_> schnuffle u there ?
[12:14] <schnuffle1> yes
[12:14] <ubuntu_> k
[12:15] <ubuntu_> service restart lightdm works as root@ubuntu only otherwise it has t be sudo service lightdm --full-restart
[12:15] <elijah> How can I have it so that when I do ls -al it calculates the size of the directory and it's contents?
[12:15] <ahhughez> I just found it schnuffle :) I had to exit the prompt, mount, the return to the shell as root. Funny thing is that its still not working, stalls at a different place now.
[12:15] <ubuntu_> thnx 4 info
[12:15] <elijah> Or, how do I find the size of all the directories?
[12:16] <drostie> Okay, so, I want to use nano with a terminal which has a white background, but it sometimes syntax-highlights strings in yellow, which is unreadable. Is there a way to fix this without rewriting all of the syntax highlighting files it uses?
[12:16] <elijah> cli only, on a server
[12:16] <ahhughez> ok I got an error " * Starting load fallback graphics devices [fail]"
[12:16] <ubuntu_> now once at root user root@ubuntu after doing sudo -i how to come to ubuntu@ubuntu user...
[12:16] <schnuffle1> ubuntu_: okay
[12:16] <zykotick9> elijah: you could try "du -sh /path/to/dir"
[12:16] <elijah> drostie: Check this out - http://beckism.com/2009/02/better_bash_prompt/
[12:16] <zykotick9> ubuntu_: exit
[12:16] <ubuntu_> yeah
[12:17] <pratz> hey guys, little off topic , how can i find the stream url for this site http://www.indie979.com/listenlive/wiyyfm3.html
[12:17] <ubuntu_> srry i forgot...thnx
[12:17] <ubuntu_> coming back after trying more things
[12:17] <myhero> thnx schnuffle
[12:17] <myhero> bye
[12:17] <schnuffle1> your welcome
[12:17] <drostie> elijah: um, what the hell is that supposed to be?
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> elijah: find -type d | du -ch
[12:21] <drostie> ooh, vim has prettier colors than nano. That's a plausible workaround for now.
[12:21] <zykotick9> drostie: and "prettier colours" is the most important factor when chosing a text editor ;)
[12:22]  * ActionParsnip covers leafpad's ears
[12:22] <fhsales> ikonia: ActionParsnip: I download what you told me and its working great.thank you so much:)
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> fhsales: sweet
[12:22] <yoshimi-pink> What flags would i need to compile a C++ program in terminal?
[12:22] <drostie> zykotick9: well vim forces me to spend five seconds before I write anything because I'm not yet proficient in vim. nano forces me to spend five seconds when I want to read a string in a shell script.
[12:23] <elijah> pratz: Are you aware of #ubuntu-offtopic? I ask all kinds of crazy stuff in there
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> elijah: did my command work ok?
[12:23] <myhero> schnuffle...more ques?
[12:23] <pratz> elijah: no i was not aware of that , thanks
[12:23] <schnuffle> myhero: just ask
[12:23] <zykotick9> drostie: vim is a great thing to learn, it's available in vi form anyway on all Posix unix-like systems
[12:23] <elijah> ActionParsnip: I just did it, yes, for the most part
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> elijah: np, you can pipe it to less or other commands if you wish ;)
[12:24] <myhero> how to install any app frm .tar.** files
[12:24] <yoshimi-pink> the g++ flags for compileing a c++ program?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> myhero: what is the file name and where is it stored?
[12:24] <progre55> hi guys. I have a problem since a couple of days with my encrypted home not mounting automatically on logon, and every time I boot up, I have to go to tty and manually "sudo mount /home". Any suggestions, please?
[12:24] <ahhughez> ok, so back in recovery mode. Looks like `nvidia-xconfig` has either not fixed the problem entirely or I need another fix. But, right now... I got no idea what the hell im doing
[12:24] <schnuffle> myhero:  there'S no general howto installas tar.gz is just an archive format like .zip
[12:24] <drostie> zykotick9: both are suboptimal. I prefer text editors which work (e.g. Kate) but when I'm messing around with shell scripts they're usually in /usr/local/bin and I usually want to edit them with a sudo'ed command from a console. :/
[12:25] <zykotick9> myhero: comiling for source?  see "/msg ubottu checkinstall"
[12:25] <elijah> ActionParsnip: It is also outputting the sizes of the subdirectories as well
[12:25] <myhero> as usuall i m running ubuntu oneiric live edition....n i hve copied that file to desktop...filename- vlc-2.0.1.tar.xz
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> elijah: so you just want the total sized of the folders in one folder...
[12:25] <elijah> ActionParsnip: yes
[12:25] <zykotick9> drostie: comparing vim/emacs to kate/gedit/leafpad(that's for you AP) is crazy-talk.
[12:25] <schnuffle> myhero: why not installing vlc through softwrae center?
[12:26] <elijah> ActionParsnip: the subdirectories are also pretty helpful though!
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> myhero: http://www.unixmen.com/vlc-2-0-twoflower-has-been-released-ppa-ubuntu-and-linuxmint/
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> myhero: ALWAYS try and find a PPA rather than that sort of thing, in Ubuntu it is rare to need to manually download apps
[12:26] <Rienzilla> Hey guys, I'm trying to make a SIP-call with ubuntu empathy. The sip call seems to be doing fine (it connects, and my pbx passes and connects the call), but I hear absolutely nothing. Sound works fine on the machine otherwise. Any ideas what I might be dopin gwrong?
[12:27] <ahhughez> hey ActionParsnip, got any suggestions for me :) perhaps I need to roll back.. I would rather not have to re-install everything again.
[12:27] <myhero> yea but since mine oneiric is live so everytime everything is lost whenever i boot so installing everytime is wastage of bandwidth...so i hve source file frm  i can installl saving my bandwidth
[12:27] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: Any NAT between the 2 endpoints?
[12:27] <Rienzilla> no
[12:27] <io> myhero: run it in a virtual machine?
[12:28] <d3v> hi, i installed LXDE on netbook yestterday and i have a problem with battery status because its always 100% and its not work correctly, maybe someone got idea how to fix it?
[12:28] <d3v> in gnome and kde it was ok
[12:28] <myhero> k
[12:28] <Rienzilla> schnuffle: I just hear nothing, evennot the ring-tones
[12:28] <myhero> but what to do with these .tar.** files
[12:29] <Sheperson> downloading deb packages with apt-get (or aptitude) is too slow for me
[12:29] <io> myhero: what do you mean what do you do with them? do you need them or not?
[12:29] <myhero> every co. seems to be distributing these for their apps linux versions
[12:29] <io> Sheperson: are you using close mirrors?
[12:29] <Sheperson> io,  yes
[12:29] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: So you have a setup         your phone -> PBX -> other phone ( in the same network)?
[12:29] <Sheperson> sometimes, I get an error saying it can not find the servers
[12:30] <schnuffle> myhero: mostly they contain the source code which you have to build, which is a advanced task
[12:30] <ahhughez> ActionParsnip, looks like this is a known/common problem.
[12:30] <io> Sheperson: did you check that you're using the closest mirrors located to where you are?
[12:30] <myhero> @io means if i hve ppa or use software center then these .tar.** files will render useless
[12:30] <Rienzilla> schnuffle: yes
[12:30] <myhero> kk
[12:30] <Sheperson> io, yes
[12:30] <Rienzilla> (it's a vpn, but it's level 2 so as far as the phones and pbx are concerned they're on the same physical subnet)
[12:30] <myhero> @schnuffle if u can guide then i will build it
[12:30] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: have you checked the logs of your PBX and eventually the logs of empathy?
[12:30] <io> myhero: yes, .tar.* files are usually for installing software from source. if you're using apt-get etc. then you don't need them
[12:31] <io> myhero: what are you attempting to install?
[12:31] <Sheperson> I have been using the same mirror before without any problems
[12:31] <Rienzilla> schnuffle: the pbx seems to do fine (it receives the call, and starts playing a message)
[12:31] <myhero> any soft without using internet offline
[12:31] <Rienzilla> I don't know how empathy works, so I didn't check any logs
[12:31] <Sheperson> but now (after a fresh install of 11.10) it's too slow
[12:31] <myhero> currently vlc
[12:31] <neurotech> Does anyone know if there's a way to change line-height in Konversation?
[12:32] <schnuffle> Rienzilla:  have you checked with another softphone? I left empathy beside as I don't like it and had some problems as well
[12:32] <io> myhero: you're using a livecd so you don't want to install software everytime it starts, right?
[12:32] <Rienzilla> no I haven't
[12:32] <myhero> yes
[12:32] <myhero> right
[12:32] <myhero> so as to save bandwidth
[12:33] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: Then do that before anything else
[12:33] <elijah> ActionParsnip: du -sh ./* | sort -nr | less
[12:33] <Sheperson> any help?
[12:33] <schnuffle> myhero: then download the vlc .deb package
[12:33] <io> myhero: that's not really the point of a livecd. if you're using it constantly then you might want to consider installing ubuntu within a virtual machine so that the files are not lost
[12:33] <simonsays1980> Does anyone know a ppa for g++ 4.7?
[12:33] <akappa> Hi
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> elijah: looks good
[12:34] <myhero> currently the situation is that i hve taken out my lappy's hdd for windows recvery so i m available with live ubuntu usb n lappy without hdd so currently i hve no choice
[12:34] <io> simonsays1980: '$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
[12:34] <io> '
[12:35] <schnuffle> myhero: If you want a live CD with all the bells a whistles check out knoppix
[12:35] <akappa> I've a problem with ubuntu 12.04: in online accounts, I get an "expired credentials" all the time for both my accounts (google and windows live), even though I just logged in correctly
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> elijah: thats files too, not just the folders
[12:35] <fidel> akappa: #ubuntu+1
[12:35] <myhero> but knoppix doesn't has windows write permission
[12:35] <akappa> fidel, that's the channel for precise?
[12:35] <myhero> i hve seen n used knoppix a lil bit
[12:35] <fidel> akappa: thats the channel for the currently non-stable ubuntu-version yes ;)
[12:35] <Rienzilla> schnuffle: what would be a decent voip phone?
[12:36] <schnuffle> myhero: It has the ntfs-3g driver so it has write support
[12:36] <akappa> fidel, thanks, I'll ask that question over there :)
[12:36] <fidel> gl
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> Rienzilla: how is that ubuntu support related?
[12:36] <myhero> i dont know but last time i tried n it said no permission
[12:36] <Sheperson> Rienzilla, how about Linphone?
[12:36] <Rienzilla> ActionParsnip: because I was just advised by the ubuntu support channel to not use the ubuntu default voip application
[12:36] <simonsays1980> io: Thanks, but when I add it via this command and type then "sudo apt-get update" I cannot find it in the list given by "sudo apt-cache search "g\+\+" ...
[12:37] <bekks> myhero: Thats a useless message. Whats the exact error message when trying what exactly when using an Ubuntu (not Knoppix) Live CD?
[12:37] <schnuffle> Rienzilla:  linphone, twinkle
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> Rienzilla: will the phone be connecting to your ubuntu system?
[12:37] <ahhughez> ActionParsnip, ok.. back working... although had to remove every sign that nvidia existed.
[12:37] <neurotech> Does anyone know if there's a way to change line-height in Konversation?
[12:37] <Rienzilla> it will run on my ubuntu system
[12:37] <io> simonsays1980: odd, I can
[12:38] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: You were not adviced  you got the hint to test another softphone. That hint came as you mentioned everything with the PBX is alright
[12:38] <elijah> ActionParsnip: Oh, yeah, I suppose, it did the trick
[12:38] <simonsays1980> io: What could I've done wrong?
[12:38] <pg345> is there a metapackage to install developper tools on ubuntu?
[12:39] <Sheperson> pg345, what do you want to install?
[12:39] <schnuffle> pg345: there's build-essential which pulls everything needed for kernel compile
[12:39] <io> pg345: build-essential?
[12:39] <Rienzilla> yeah well is it such a weird followup question to ask what to use if I get the advice to use something else
[12:39] <Rienzilla> man :)
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> Rienzilla: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/85325-usb-phone-driver.html  some ones to try / avoid there
[12:40] <pg345> more than that, compiler C++, C, java, fortran, qt, kde, gtk tools, etc
[12:40] <cypher-neo> My chromium-browser package just updated, and now it won't start. The error I get when trying to start it is "Segmentation fault". How do I fix this?
[12:40] <Sheperson> pg345, you work with all those tools?
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: try renaming your config folder for the browser
[12:41] <io> simonsays1980: a multitude of things, but please have a look at: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/test - you'll see the version that you want is listed in that PPA so I'm not sure what's wrong your end
[12:41] <pg345> not myself, but i'm installing machines for people and i want only 1 configuration for all the machines instead of having to install all the machine differently
[12:41] <ahhughez> ActionParsnip, ok thanks so much for your help tonight!!!! I really appreciate it. Look like I hit bug 888373 which has been around since November 2011.
[12:41] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Where is the config folder normally at?
[12:41] <schnuffle> Rienzilla:  Have you any pone connected to your PBX that works correctly?
[12:41] <litos> Hi all. A need to set up a Mail Gateway in ubuntu server. Any one can help me how to do it or where to find a guide for it?
[12:41] <Rienzilla> schnuffle: yes
[12:42] <simonsays1980> io: Yeah I saw that it is there....but in some way it doesn't work to do an update
[12:42] <Sheperson> pg345, you can find the list of packages and use a bash script to install on different machines
[12:42] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: Hardware, Softphone, Linux,Windows?
[12:42] <io> !mailserver | litos
[12:42] <Rienzilla> hardware phones (snom)
[12:42] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, You mean rename the file in /usr/lib?
[12:43] <pg345> that's pretty much what i'm doing, i have a preseed configuration file i'm writing and was wondering if there was a way to get all those tools without listing all of them 1 at a time
[12:43] <litos> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServerhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServerhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer MailServerhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServerhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer
[12:43] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: Okay, then is your Box running a Firewall?
[12:43] <io> simonsays1980: I'm sorry, I don't know, it appears for me. you could try contacting: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r
[12:43] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, When I did "whereis chromium-browser" it pointed me to /usr/lib/chromium-browser
[12:44] <Rienzilla> no, it is not a sip issue
[12:44] <k013> dear ubuntu people please help - my question is here - http://pastebin.com/J4NKHwvg
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: thats the app, not the config
[12:44] <Rienzilla> empathy just gives no sound
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: the config is in ~/.config
[12:44] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Oh... okay. looking
[12:44] <akappa> k013, do you expect from us to open a link instead of just read your question here?
[12:44] <Rienzilla> just installed linphone which works rightaway apparently
[12:44] <k013> akappa - sorry very long question
[12:44] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: So my hint ( advice ) in the end was correct :)
[12:45] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: I think empathy is a peace of crap, but that's jst my opinion
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> k013: what GPU do you use?
[12:45] <Rienzilla> well, probably :)
[12:45] <cypher-neo> Okay... that almost worked
[12:45] <k013> actionparsnip - its a hp dv6 i5 laptop
[12:46] <myhero> ubuntu has windows write permission but i meant knoppix doesn't has windows write permission
[12:46] <schnuffle> Rienzilla: It could be due to having a mixture of pulse audio and alsa
[12:46] <myhero> n what does /msg ubottu checkinstall means - i received this msg in begining but that time i missed it
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> k013: did you try Unity2D session?
[12:47] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Almost worked. I renamed the folder in config, and I started chromium afterwards. It started up as if it were a new install of Chromium, and asked me to enter my Google account address to sign in and sync. Once I did though... boom, it crashed. "Segmentation fault"
[12:47] <zykotick9> !checkinstall | myhero here you go ;)
[12:47] <schnuffle> myhero: It has but it mounts ro per default
[12:47] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Should I just try reinstalling it again?
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: sounds like a plugin is causing the issue
[12:47] <zykotick9> myhero: teh "/msg ubottu checkinstall" would have just given it to you privatly
[12:47] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, I don't have any plugins that weren't misbehaving before this update.
[12:47] <k013> actionparsnip - no its not stopping flickering i can't don anything, i have press the on/off button to switch off the laptop , that's the only thing i can do
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> k013: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run:  killall -u $USER
[12:48] <myhero> no it was given here only in the begining
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> k013: on the login screen click the cog and log in to the Unity2D session
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: is it o if you don't sync?
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> *ok
[12:48] <k013> actionparsnip - ok i'll try that, any way to access files within windows itself?
[12:49] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, I'll try...
[12:49] <myhero> by i think zykotic9
[12:50] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Nope, not alright.
[12:50] <zykotick9> myhero: if you where trying to compile by source, i wanted you to be aware of "checkinstall" program - so i tried to point it out to you :)
[12:50] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, As soon as I do anything that takes it from the start page it crashes.
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[12:50] <k013> actionparsnip - when i press ctrl+alt+f1 will the flicker stop long enough for me to type in the killall command?
[12:50] <myhero> kk
[12:51] <myhero> m a newbie so i didn't understood what u said...but thnx
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> k013: you will drop to CLI so you will have as much time as you have electricity
[12:51] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, oneiric
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: ok run:  apt-cache policy chromium-browser    which version do you have?
[12:52] <hola57> hello guys,any suggestions about good flv player for ubuntu?
[12:52] <myhero> now to get ppa and deb of all the apps since mostly all the co.'s and authors distribute .tar.** only
[12:52] <k013> ActionParsnip - thank you so much, i'll try this and get back to this channel - bye for now! thank you so much!
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> myhero: search for them
[12:52] <myhero> google or anywhere specific ?
[12:53] <akappa> mmh, it looks like upgrading to 12.04 ahead of time was a bad idea
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> hola57: can't vlc play it?
[12:53] <schnuffle> myhero: mostly they distribute deb and rpm packages as well
[12:53] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Installed: 18.0.1025.142~r129054-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>
[12:53] <usuario> escuela
[12:53] <akappa> how can they expect to ship it this month, if it's still full of bugs?
[12:53] <usuario> escuela1
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> akappa: there is still time for development..
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: try:  sudo add-apt-repository ?

[12:55] <mongy> there is a problem with the newer kernel and chromium in 11.10
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> akappa: maybe a cause, tried a clean install?
[12:55] <cypher-neo> mongy, Oh really?
[12:55] <akappa> ActionParsnip, in my installations nearly everything crashes, from apport to a js-thing, passing through gnome-shell-evolution-applet
[12:55] <mongy> also even chrome from what I've heard.
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> mongy: ahhhhh
[12:56] <akappa> ActionParsnip, nope, I don't have enough time to reconfigure everything
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> akappa: try a clean install. I always clean install and never had an issue
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> akappa: but you have time to put up with crashes..interesting
[12:56] <mongy> -18 hasn't hit my repo yet so I'm lucky, but a friend had this issue lastnight.
[12:56] <akappa> ActionParsnip, right now the bugs are annoying but otherwise the system is somehow usable
[12:57] <akappa> so stop with the sarcasm :)
[12:57] <Myrtti> akappa: feel free to continue the discussion in #ubuntu+1
[12:57] <akappa> Myrtti, I would enjoy that, but that channel is populated by ghosts, it seems
[12:58] <Myrtti> akappa: that's the way IRC channels are... it is the right channel for the conversation though, so please use it
[12:58] <akappa> as you wish
[12:58] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, mongy, What is chromium-browser-l10n?
[12:59] <akappa> it was just for conversation
[12:59] <elijah> Does anyone know what version of ffmpeg openshot is using for Pangolin?
[12:59] <bekks> cypher-neo: the internationalization package for chromium-browser.
[12:59] <elijah> I can't seem to know the name of the package
[12:59] <akappa> elijah, #ubuntu+1
[12:59] <schnuffle> akappa: then #ubuntu-offtopic. But I must admit I've the same problem
[12:59] <akappa> schnuffle, good to know, thanks
[13:00]  * ActionParsnip rattles his chains
[13:00] <bekks> ActionParsnip: Is it a tool chain? ;)
[13:00] <cypher-neo> Well, fuck me...
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> bekks: bam!
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: sup
[13:00] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, I have an error to pastebin to you.
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: go for it
[13:01] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, I figured if the latest chromium wasn't working I could downgrade to last working version.
[13:01] <k013> ActionParsnip - i'm back, i tried ctrl+alt+f1, but the flicker is not stopping for me to type the killall command
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> k013: just run:   sudo reboot    then, bit easier
[13:02] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/914485/
[13:03] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Am I screwed?
[13:03] <sattu94> How do I prevent gdm/x from starting autoamatically when I start ubuntu?
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: interesting. I'd test your RAM using memtest
[13:03] <k013> ActionParsnip - no u didn't understand, the flickering screen is not stopping its continuous!
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: add the boot option: text
[13:03] <sattu94> ActionParsnip: Boot option, where?
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> k013: reboot and at the login screen select unity2d
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: they get set in /etc/default/grub
[13:04] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Is memtest a package I need to install?
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> cypher-neo: its in a default install, hold shift at boot
[13:05] <myhero_> google or anywhere specific ?y sourse
[13:05] <sattu94> ActionParsnip: What exactly do I have to add to that file ?
[13:05] <myhero_> *by
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: jeez
[13:05] <cypher-neo> ActionParsnip, Ahh, reboot. BRB
[13:05] <k013> ActionParsnip - i reboot number of times only to try killall command but flicker no stop, sorry!
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[13:05] <myhero_> if i hve a file .tar.xz then after extracting how to install frm that
[13:06] <sattu94> ActionParsnip: no. i got that. _WHAT_ do I have to add? or should I just append "text" to the file.
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"   change it to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash text"
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> sattu94: save the new file, close gedit and run:  sudo update-grub
[13:06] <bekks> myhero_: Dont install software like that, use your package manager to install software.
[13:06] <myhero_> u means synaptics ?
[13:06] <chhx> #join ubuntu-cn
[13:07] <myhero_> i dont have that in live usb
[13:07] <schnuffle> sattu94:  http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#changing-the-default-runlevel
[13:07] <myhero_> so i hve terminal option only
[13:07] <akappa> myhero_, did you mean "tar.gz"?
[13:08] <akappa> myhero_, it's
[13:08] <akappa> ops
[13:08] <myhero_> what i m doing is 1st ./configure then make then make install but in ./configure its configuring n in last its saying something not found
[13:08] <akappa> it means "a TARball compressed with gzip", it could be anything
[13:08] <myhero_> its vlc-2.0.1.tar.xz
[13:08] <zykotick9> akappa: +1
[13:08] <akappa> sources or a prepackaged installer
[13:08] <somebody__> i still wasn't able to run a sed command to append a line after the first line on a set of files. i tried this: find . -type f -iname '*.tex' -depth 2 -exec sed "" '1a\ test' * {} + ..doesn't work :(
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> myhero_: I gave you the PPA to install that....
[13:08] <myhero_> n after ./cofigure its not soing make or makeinstall
[13:08] <myhero_> yes
[13:09] <akappa> myhero_,  it depends on its content. anyway, as they already told you, it's better to install deb packages, especially if you don't understand what is a tarball
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> myhero_: its 3 commands, one to add the PPA, the other to update, the other to install the app just like you do ANY other applicatin#
[13:09] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i question adding PPAs or compiling source on a LiveCD... seems like a lot of effort for something so temporary.  myhero_
[13:09] <jrib> somebody__: run it on one file first instead of all files.  And "doesn't work" is too vague.
[13:09] <io> zykotick9: I suggested a virtual machine around 58 minutes ago, I gave up
[13:09] <myhero_> k but its not working then whats wrong ?
[13:09] <akappa> myhero_,  uninstalling and upgrading can range in difficulty from hard to impossible, and that thing could conflict with something provided by ubuntu
[13:10] <somebody__> jrib, point taken. will try one file first. brb
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> myhero_: can you give the output of the commands on the guide I gave, use http://pastie.org
[13:10] <myhero_> k
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> myhero_: 'not working' tells us nothing at all
[13:10] <myhero_> k
[13:11] <k013> hi please thoughts on making flickering login screen stop!
[13:11] <myhero_> how to copy all terminal output to pastie ? i tried copying but its not copyying with ctrl+c
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> k013: did you reboot ok?
[13:11] <akappa> myhero_, just use the middleclick
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> myhero_: use right click -> copy
[13:11] <k013> reboot done but flicker no sto
[13:12] <k013> i mean stop
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> myhero_: or CTRL+SHIFT+C
[13:12] <myhero_> k
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> k013: does it flicker on the login screen too?
[13:12] <k013> yes yes absolutely, can't see and click anything!
[13:12] <somebody__> jrib, same problem. it displays the entire content of the file (as if using cat or sed -n)
[13:13] <jrib> somebody__: right.  If you want to actually write to a file, you use -i.  But note your syntax in find seems wrong.  I'm not sure why you have a '*'
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> k013: does it flicker in CTRL+ALT+F1 too?
[13:13] <k013> yes yes absolutely, in ctrl+alt+f1 too!
[13:14] <somebody__> jrib, i'll try -i . the * in the end was for writing to all files..that isn't how it's done, is it?
[13:15] <jrib> somebody__: you're already asking find to go through each file matching the parameters you gave and execute a command on the file found.  Try putting an "echo find" instead of "find" in your command and you should get a clearer picture of what's going on
[13:15] <jrib> somebody__: also, don't use -i until you're sure the sed command is doing what you want :)
[13:16] <somebody__> jrib, the find commad works fine. used it before for find and replace with sed. can't get append after line number with sed to work now..
[13:16] <somebody__> oh and i'm working with a copy of my actual files of course :)
[13:16] <jrib> somebody__: yes, you find the right things but don't execute the correct command to do what you want; thus my suggestion
[13:17] <kripz> how can i rebind my mouse buttons to make it for example, type the letter h when left clicked?
[13:17] <proxnum> im trying to reinstall bind in 10.0.4 and after i install it from source it apepars all of the links are broken. does that mean i need to specify directories where bind should install ?
[13:18] <somebody__> jrib, yes. i'm trying now on one file only but for sed -i "" '1 a\?test'\ test.tex i'm getting error message "sed: -i may not be used with stdin
[13:18] <somebody__> "
[13:18] <jrib> kripz: you can use xbindkeys (with « xvkbd -xsendevent -text DESCRIPTION_OF_KEY_HERE » as the command)
[13:18] <thomedy> isnt the 12.04 lts almost ready
[13:18] <thomedy> i am eager to use the new one but i need lts with out a doubt
[13:18] <jrib> somebody__: why are you passing "" (seems useless) and why are you escaping the space before "test.tex"?
[13:19] <k013> thomedy - april 26
[13:19] <somebody__> jrib RL is forcing me  afk. i'll be back in an hour and gna keep trying then
[13:19] <somebody__> jrib i'll correct htat real quick
[13:19] <jrib> somebody__: RL?
[13:19] <jrib> somebody__: never mind.
[13:19] <somebody__> real life
[13:19] <jrib> i thought RL was forcing you to put the "" and escape the space :)
[13:19] <thomedy> im very excited
[13:20] <somebody__> jrib it worked without \, nice
[13:20] <somebody__> jrib thanks a lot
[13:20] <Sidewinder> thomedy, 12.04 release 4/26..
[13:21] <k013> would it be helpful if i repost my question, just asking!
[13:21] <jrib> somebody__: no problem
[13:21] <thomedy> im kind of excited about it... i have been using the 11.1 non lts and it can be irritating but i have installed ubuntu so many times im just done
[13:21] <jrib> !repeat | k013
[13:22] <thomedy> so when 12.04 comes.. i am going to rock it hard
[13:22] <jpounet> bonjour
[13:22] <k013> ok ok ubottu and jrib - i won't repost!
[13:22] <thomedy> bonjour  jpounet.. ju suiss ... ummmm learning french
[13:22] <jrib> k013: erm.  What I want that to say is: yes, you should repeat after waiting about 5-10 minutes (depending on how busy the channel is); please don't just say "help me" and refer to the question without re-asking.  irc has 0-line memory unless you are actively having a conversation (by highligting) with someone

[13:30] <LjL> simonsays1980: in your home, ~/
[13:30] <d[-_-]b> myhero_, when you generally get errors like that, i find its just some sort of devel / dev package missing, apt-cache search dbus may put you on the right track. Not sure if that is ubuntu friendly though
[13:30] <jrib> simonsays1980: ~/.bashrc is the usual location for your user's bashrc
[13:31] <k013> ok jrib - about getting the grub menu, which button to press? and when exactly, cause i know if i reach flicker screen, i'm dead!

[13:57] <angs> I installed a webserver on ubuntu and I copied index files etc to /etc/www. so I can access the webpage by typing the IP address of the server in my browser (http://192.168.x.x), and my computer and server are in the same network. How can I access to the webserver in another network, http://real.ip:port?
[13:57] <airlynx> nevermind, it just timed out, lol
[13:57] <troulouliou_dev> the only thing that i have changed is that i had to switch from openjdk to oracle one due to some incompatibility with a work application
[13:58] <fidel> angs: port-forwarding most likely
[13:58] <troulouliou_dev> and so i also changed the java plugin for firefix with update-alternative
[13:58] <schnuffle> angs: ypu mean you copied them to /var/www?
[13:58] <troulouliou_dev> but i don't think this is related to youtube screen flickering
[13:58] <fidel> angs: as i am curious: what kind of webserver is that if you put the index files in /etc/www?
[13:58] <fidel> angs: /etc/www sounds heavily wrong
[13:58] <angs> apache http server
[13:59] <fidel> angs: /etc/apache should then contain the config ...and nothing more
[13:59] <fidel> usualy
[13:59] <schnuffle> angs: if you mean you want people on the internet to be able to see your pages, you need a portforwarding from port 80 of your router to your machine
[13:59] <angs> how can I check if there is already such setting?
[14:00] <schnuffle> angs: what setting?
[14:00] <fidel> angs: try to use full sentences ;)
[14:00] <angs> if portforwarding is already set?
[14:00] <fidel> angs: login to the router and check for user-defined rules
[14:00] <schnuffle> angs: login to yout router and look for something called portforwarding, virtuell server. Depenfs on the type of router you have
[14:01] <angs> I dont have access to the router :)
[14:01] <fidel> angs: then contact your local admin
[14:01] <angs> ok thanks a lot
[14:01] <fidel> and let him check your apache settings as well ...if he has the time
[14:03] <airlynx> revised question, what's the best way to format an external USB HDD to FAT32 with Ubuntu, to include the filesystem and the partition type (just tried again with disk unmounted and it timed out again)
[14:06] <banermatt> hi all
[14:06] <alo21> hi all
[14:06] <banermatt> Is their a way to know the size of a .tgz before decompress it?
[14:06] <alo21> where all drivers are located in Ubuntu?
[14:07] <kexanie> excuse me. .
[14:07] <kexanie> I've got a big problem here, can anybody help ?
[14:07] <kexanie> my google chrome doesn't work
[14:07] <jeek> banermatt: gunzip filename.tgz|wc
[14:07] <schnuffle> !anyone | kexanie
[14:08] <kexanie> I opened it ,and it closed immediately
[14:08] <kubblai> airlynx: try fdisk -l with it plugged in, then follow this article http://www.zorge.net/?p=22 changing the relevand /sdX part
[14:08] <kexanie> and I run it in terminal, it shows "Segmentation fault"
[14:08] <zykotick9> airlynx: fyi you need to use "sudo fdisk -l" to see anything.  kubblai
[14:08] <kexanie> I google for a long time ,but didn't get any useful info
[14:09] <airlynx> kubblai, zykotick9: thank you
[14:09] <kubblai> yeah forgot sudo airlynx thanks zykotick9
[14:09] <schnuffle> kexanie: earlier in this channel someone mentioned there's a kernel problem
[14:10] <kexanie> can anybody help ?
[14:10] <kexanie> sorry, but how to solve it ?
[14:10] <kexanie> is it a bug ? or something else ?
[14:11] <banermatt> jeek: no I don't want to decompress it
[14:11] <schnuffle> kexanie: start with an older kernel and see if it solves the problem
[14:11] <compdoc> kexanie, thats a crash. do you have some sort of program installed that changes the appearance of your system?
[14:12] <zykotick9> banermatt: wc wouldn't have worked anyways...  i'm not sure what you want is possible, is there metadata for gz (i'm not sure)?
[14:12] <kexanie> no,but I install some upgrades before
[14:12] <kexanie> I don't think that matters
[14:13] <banermatt> zykotick9: I don't have enougth free space on my hd to decompress it
[14:13] <schnuffle> kexanie: can you paste output of uname -r
[14:13] <kexanie> sorry , err ,what is "kernel " ? does it means an older version of my system ?
[14:13] <kexanie> "3.0.0-18-generic"  thx . .
[14:14] <kexanie> I'm using Ubuntu 11.10
[14:14] <banermatt> for example an algo which do what I need: decompress one file f, total_size += du f
[14:14] <compdoc> on the mailing list, thee are ppl saying 3.0.0-18 is causing problems
[14:14] <schnuffle> kexanie: -18 has the problem, restart with left shift and then chosse an older kernel from the list and recheck chrome
[14:14] <compdoc> there
[14:14] <banermatt> Is it possible so I don't know if it is implemented
[14:14] <banermatt> It is possible*
[14:15] <kexanie> okay ,I will try it now.
[14:15] <kexanie> just wait a minute
[14:16] <opalepatrick> has anyone any idea where the global inbox option for thunderbird 11  is in 11.10 unity (64)
[14:16] <andrunix> is there a way to get sudo to recognize aliaes defined in my .bash_aliases?
[14:17] <schnuffle> andrunix: how about to put the in /root/.bashaliases?
[14:18] <andrunix> schnuffle: i could do that i guess. does that make them "global" or just for root?
[14:18] <denysonique> [1]    7277 segmentation fault  chromium-browser -- Ubuntu 11.10
[14:18] <schnuffle> andrunix: just root
[14:18] <denysonique> How can I fix this?
[14:19] <schnuffle> denysonique: start with an older kernel than  3.0.0-18
[14:19] <denysonique> why? is there a bug?
[14:19] <andrunix> schnuffle: is there a way to make aliases global? so I only have to define them onece
[14:19] <andrunix> once
[14:19] <schnuffle> denysonique: apparently
[14:20] <compdoc> denysonique, seems so
[14:20] <denysonique> Where is the bug reported btw?
[14:20] <compdoc> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/972821
[14:20] <compdoc> thats one
[14:20] <scialex> andrunix: you could edit /ect/bash.bashrc and add them there if you want them to be global
[14:20] <schnuffle> andrunix: you can place it in /etc/skel so that every new user gets it. Or place it in /etc/profile
[14:21] <andrunix> good suggestions guys. thanks.
[14:21] <denysonique> thanks guys
[14:21] <denysonique> is not using the proposed software source much safer than using it?
[14:21] <denysonique> in terms of having a flowless system
[14:21] <schnuffle> scialex: is there a /etc/bash.rc?
[14:21] <airlynx> just about got it done now, but had a panic attack cuz someone else drank all the coffee, but using GParted does the same thing as mkdosfs on the HDD, I can see that it's setting the partition type to FAT32 (I'm a GUI addict, sorry, but thanks for the point in the right direction, kubblai)
[14:22] <denysonique> flawless*
[14:22] <Defusal> hi everyone
[14:22] <schnuffle> denysonique: the bug was reported in here for 3 times already
[14:23] <kexanie> schnuffle,I am back
[14:23] <compdoc> yikes
[14:23] <schnuffle> kexanie: and does it work now?
[14:23] <kexanie> I try it on gnome3,and gnome classic .
[14:23] <scialex> schnuffle: yes, it is /etc/bash.bashrc
[14:23] <kexanie> but it just doesn't work
[14:23] <schnuffle> scialex: cool didn't know that
[14:24] <kexanie> on gnome classic it works for a few seconds, but closed then
[14:24] <schnuffle> kexanie: which kernel are you running now? uname -r
[14:24] <opalepatrick> any ideas ^^
[14:24] <kexanie> 3.0.0-18-generic
[14:24] <Defusal> i had a live session running off a usb drive, i then used "sudo fuser -cuk /var/lib/dpkg/lock; sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/lock" as per a suggestion on askubuntu.com and now everything has ended and my live sessions green has a static console cursor in the top left corner of the screen. does anyone know how i can get my gui back without rebooting?
[14:24] <scialex> schnuffle: you might want to edit /etc/profile though if you want it to work on more then just bash
[14:24] <Defusal> s/green/screen
[14:25] <schnuffle> kexanie: so you rebooted to the same kernel, of course the problem still is present. Can't choose something lower then 3.0.0-18 maybe 3.0.0-17?
[14:25] <Defusal> dammit, im so angry with myself now, i should have just left apt broken and still had a working machine :(
[14:25] <kexanie>  oh ,but how to reboot to a different kernel ?
[14:25] <Defusal> if anyone has any idea, please let me know
[14:26] <schnuffle> scialex: hat was my suggestion as I didn't know that there's a global bash.rc in ubuntu
[14:26] <CharminTheMoose> I'm running ubuntu 11.04 in a vm and set my login to be busybox's static-sh. When in the static-sh, if I do something disasterous like, remove /lib and /usr/lib, none of the 'built-in' commands in the static-sh work anymore. Why's this happening?
[14:26] <denysonique> kexanie: If it is not present at the bootloader then you may downgrade by disabling the poposed software source
[14:26] <schnuffle> kexanie: you boot holding down the shift key and then you should get a list to choose from
[14:26] <kexanie> it's kinda strange because it works well a few hours ago
[14:27] <schnuffle> kexanie: the update just cam out
[14:27] <denysonique> btw
[14:27] <denysonique> can't the update be reverted?
[14:27] <denysonique> the proposed software source fixed?
[14:27] <denysonique> to not yet include the newest kernel?
[14:27] <schnuffle> CharminTheMoose:  I just guess but even busbox will need libc?
[14:28] <denysonique> s/newest/linux 3.0.18
[14:28] <schnuffle> denysonique:  if downgrade soves the problem you can set another kernel as defaultg
[14:28] <denysonique> ok
[14:29] <denysonique> but, why the devs won't fix this in the repo?
[14:29] <denysonique> if it crashes 100% users chromium?
[14:29] <CharminTheMoose> schnuffle, but the busybox executable is not dynamically linked, according to ldd. :/
[14:29] <kexanie> schnuffle: I will try
[14:29] <airlynx> okay, so for future reference the Disk Utility in Ubuntu will reformat a filesystem without reformatting the partition itself
[14:30] <schnuffle> CharminTheMoose: And arent't the kernel modules under /lib as well?
[14:30] <CharminTheMoose> schnuffle, yep, they are. I'm just testing 'worst case' scenarios here. :P
[14:33] <schnuffle> denysonique:  because the bug jsut appeared
[14:36] <kexanie> well  .. It workds
[14:36] <kexanie> thanks ..but why doesn't it works on -18 ?
[14:37] <schnuffle> kexanie: Fine, so 2 things you can do, change the default kernel to the one working or do boot manual as you did as long as there's no bug
[14:37] <schnuffle> kexanie:  Becasue there seems to be a bug
[14:38] <schnuffle> kexanie: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/972821
[14:38] <kexanie> but how to change the kernel ? I want it to start -17 when the system start ?
[14:38] <compdoc> kexanie, Im sure they'll get it all fixed soon
[14:39] <kexanie> hope so , thanks
[14:39] <schnuffle> kexanie:  edit /etc/default/grub, change  GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=1 and run update-grub
[14:40] <abhisinghal> madar jat
[14:41] <casualX> I have problem connecting to apache from local network...from localhost I can connect to <IP_ADDRESS> and local ip in my case <IP_ADDRESS> but not from other machine...firewall is set up ok
[14:43] <alp> Hello
[14:43] <airlynx> okay, next question, is there a faster way to copy 150 GB of data from one UBS HDD to another other than just copying the files en masse?
[14:43] <alp> Any ideas how to redirect all network traffic to Tor?
[14:43] <airlynx> *USB
[14:43] <alp> Any ideas how to redirect all network traffic to Tor?
[14:44] <andrewaclt> alp, I don't know what I'm talking about but it seems like you'd run tor on your  router.
[14:45] <alp> andrewaclt, there is other people using my router, i need to do it locally
[14:45] <andrewaclt> ah, so not all traffic heh
[14:46] <alp> yes, only the traffic on my computer
[14:46] <andrewaclt> Just run tor on your computer?
[14:46] <alp> how?
[14:47] <Mkaysi> alp: point http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables to tor in /etc/environment
[14:47] <alp> okay
[14:47] <mi3> hello !
[14:47] <alp> but isn't tor a socks proxy?
[14:47] <taxman> get a freesbie live cd, it has built-in tor
[14:47] <andrewaclt> alp, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tor
[14:48] <sauce> is there a chan for ubuntu server ?
[14:48] <LjL> sauce: #ubuntu-server
[14:48] <mi3> I downloaded some youtube videos with youtube-dl and noticed that I get extremely high download speeds, can I download regular files with youtube-dl?
[14:48] <sauce> why did i not think of that
[14:48] <sauce> thanks
[14:49] <Kaizen> Can anyone see any mistakes in this startup script?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/914620/ when the system boots up the script starts the process but i can't stop / start it after that and the startup script process itself remains running
[14:49] <Mkaysi> alp: You can tell Polipo to use tor as parent proxy and point http_proxy and https_proxy to Polipo
[14:49] <alp> ok Mkaysi, thats what i was thinking, thank you, brb
[14:49] <hatch> after rebooting 10.04 all I get now is a blinking cursor and then the monitors go into powersave mode
[14:49] <Mkaysi> You're welcome :)
[14:50] <tanath> anyone have experience with custom actions in clipman? commands fail to write to file with >
[14:51] <hatch> has anyone run into that issue before?
[14:51] <hatch> It's pretty hard to do anything with no monitors :)
[14:52] <tanath> hatch, try editing the kernel parameters. 'e' at grub
[14:53] <hatch> tanath: ok so when grub boots up I hit e
[14:53] <hatch> then what do I edit?
[14:53] <tanath> as to what you need, i don't know. in my experience, removing parameters usually helps :P
[14:53] <casualX> maybee bind tor to a local ip will help...I didnt use it for a long time ago...let me check
[14:54] <hatch> tanath: hah ok I can give that a try
[14:54] <tanath> hatch, e edits whichever line you have selected
[14:55] <casualX> have a look here https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en at the ControlListenAddress  you can set the ip adrerss so no one except your lan can use your tor
[14:56] <alp> I feel like I am screwed. My brain has stopped working
[14:57] <tanath> anyone know why > fails to work in clipman custom actions?
[14:57] <tanath> i think it fails in thunar too
[14:58] <bencc2> how can I find the package that has rfb/Configuration.h ?
[15:00] <llutz_> !find rfb/Configuration.h
[15:01] <bencc2> llutz_: that's bad :)
[15:03] <casualX> is anyone here who knows about apache in oneiric?
[15:04] <i7c> casualX: what do you wanna know?
[15:04] <alp> OK, from scratch.
[15:04] <haux> In the Window Manage settings, where you can adjust the positioning of the title buttons (close, maximize, minimize), can anyone here tell me what the "stick" button does?
[15:05] <haux> It's a little circle.
[15:05] <casualX> I have a problem, I installed it and cant connect from other machines in lan...cause prevent external access I set Fw to allow local connections and bind the server to a local adress but still cant connect
[15:05] <haux> *Manager
[15:05] <auronandace> haux: it puts the window on all desktops (workspaces)
[15:06] <alp> Ok, what should I put for proxyAdress? My router? <IP_ADDRESS>?
[15:06] <haux> Oh I see. Now that I change workspaces it shows up... didn't see it at first.
[15:06] <i7c> casualX: check with netstat -l   if it really binds to your local address. is the address right?
[15:06] <haux> I guess that explains why it's a hidden option by default. useless to most people
[15:06] <casualX> yes
[15:06] <casualX> I check
[15:07] <alp> casualX, in polipo config, for proxyAdress, what should I put?
[15:07] <i7c> casualX: well if it is then it must be a firewall issue
[15:07] <reach> how do i create a account for irc
[15:08] <alp> Can anyone send me a valid polipo config?
[15:08] <zykotick9> !register | reach
[15:08] <alp> I have no idea what I am doing
[15:08] <bazhang> reach /join #freenode for help with registering
[15:09] <casualX> alp The variable proxyAddress, defines the IP address on which Polipo will listen; by default, its value is the loopback address "<IP_ADDRESS>", meaning that Polipo will listen on the IPv4 loopback interface (the local host) only. By setting this variable to a global IP address or to one of the special values "::" or "<IP_ADDRESS>", it is possible to allow Polipo to serve remote clients. This is likely to be a security hole unless you set allowed
[15:09] <casualX> Clients to a reasonable value
[15:09] <nikolja> pozdrav

[15:10] <llutz_> project* even
[15:14] <mirak> hi
[15:14] <mirak> how can i know the block size of the ext4 file system ?
[15:14] <casualX> alp have a look at here I think this is a good manual http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/polipo.html
[15:15] <haux> Does anyone know how to modify the resolution of ubuntu's "loading" screen, such as the one that shows when you're loading or at the beginning of a reboot.
[15:19] <wmorri> haux: have a look at this link. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/customize-boot-splash-screen-logo-linux/
[15:20] <casualX> sorry but apache2 on ubuntu server sucks...never had problems like this before...there is something wrong with the package
[15:20] <casualX> maybee i get back to debian for server
[15:20] <wmorri> casualX: what is the problem are you having?
[15:21] <haux> Thanks wmorri
[15:21] <wmorri> haux: no problem
[15:21] <i7c> casualX: i don't think it's your apache. i installed it and changed nothing in the confs and it already listens to all addresses
[15:21] <casualX> still cant connect from other machine and turned off firewall and bind to other port and tried many many many
[15:22] <casualX> what can I do?
[15:23] <llutz_> casualX: check "sudo lsof -i :80" "sudo iptables -vL"
[15:23] <alp> ok, I installed polipo, what is wrong with this line:chromium-browser --proxy-server="http://localhost:8123"
[15:23] <alp> what should I put instead of localhost?
[15:23] <alp> <IP_ADDRESS>?
[15:23] <alp> a8le?
[15:23] <casualX> I tried when turn off firewall its not that prblem
[15:23] <alp> *facepalm*
[15:23] <shadow98> what is the best remote desktop to use for latest ubuntu..i have been running 10 for a while because when i went to 11.04 it was so lagging even when turrning off all the desktop enhancements...this was using built in VNC..
[15:24] <krautguy> hi, why do i have a process called "zeitgeist-daemon" in my system.. what does he do?
[15:24] <krautguy> its ubuntu 11.10
[15:24] <shadow98> i am running 11.10
[15:24] <i7c> krautguy: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/zeitgeist-daemon.1.html
[15:25] <alp> chromium-browser --proxy-server="http://localhost:8123"
[15:25] <krautguy> oh thanks :)
[15:25] <alp> when I do this chromium gives an error
[15:25] <reach> alp: me too
[15:25] <comunistu> indicator-weather dont work corectly on ubuntu 10.04.why?
[15:26] <alp> reach: What do you put for localhost? or literally write localhost?
[15:27] <wmorri> alp: you can type localhost, or enter <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:27] <reach> alp: google.com
[15:27] <alp> Error 130 (net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED): Proxy server connection failed.
[15:27] <i7c> alp: remove the http://
[15:28] <i7c> alp: localhost:8123   should do it
[15:28] <casualX> thx for talking guys...have a nice day
[15:28] <casualX> bye
[15:28] <alp> chromium-browser --proxy-server="<IP_ADDRESS>:8123"
[15:28] <alp> it doesnt work still
[15:28] <alp> same error
[15:29] <i7c> alp: yeh cuz your proxy might only listen to localhost
[15:29] <alp> ok
[15:29] <i7c> alp: you can literally write localhost or if you dont like it <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:29] <alp> chromium-browser --proxy-server="localhost:8123"
[15:29] <alp> same error
[15:29] <i7c> stupid question but the proxy surely runs?
[15:30] <alp> i did : sudo /etc/init.d/polipo start
[15:31] <i7c> alp: type the following in terminal:  netstat -l | grep "8123"
[15:31] <alp> i7c: no output
[15:32] <alp> I didn't touched polipo config.
[15:32] <i7c> alp: means that something is wrong with your proxy. it doesn't listen to where you expect it to listen.
[15:32] <alp> should i?
[15:33] <i7c> alp: check first if the process is running.
[15:33] <comunistu> why indicator-weather dont work corectly on ubuntu 10.04?
[15:33] <alp> Done its working!
[15:34] <alp> IP seems to be different, its working now, netstat gives the output too.
[15:34] <i7c> yay :)
[15:35] <alp> Now, I have to redirect all my traffic to polipo, including flash and javascript, I am on LXDE
[15:35] <alp> Where is the global network proxy settings?
[15:36] <alp> thank you ic7
[15:36] <alp> i7c*

[15:37] <liron_> i need help to formmating my computer im in GPARTED during the installation
[15:37] <i7c> with localhost and your port for sure ;)
[15:37] <liron_> i have 3 giga rams and i need to choose swap
[15:38] <liron_> how much swap do i need and it need to be primary or logical when ask?
[15:38] <i7c> liron_: half your ram should be enough.
[15:38] <liron_> ok and in the installation it need to be primary or logical?
[15:38] <alp> liron, i recommend logical
[15:39] <liron_> ok
[15:39] <liron_> thank you
[15:39] <liron_> and the primary partition need to be all what is free space?
[15:39] <liron_> after choose the swap?
[15:39] <alp> i7c: i did :export http_proxy=http://localhost:8123 is it done now?
[15:39] <liron_> i new on it.. thanks
[15:40] <alp> liron How much GB is your total harddisk, and how many OS you are planning to install?
[15:40] <liron_> 300 gigas
[15:40] <liron_> and i want to format my windows
[15:40] <liron_> i want only ubuntu
[15:41] <i7c> alp: it should normally. but you'd need to verify it maybe.
[15:41] <liron_> and i plan to install on all of it..
[15:41] <dre1220> Hi everyone - I'm using RANCID to grab configs from different vendors. I can grab configs from Cisco IOS/CAT devices and Juniper gear, the problem is getting configs from HP Procurve devices and on Cisco Nexus switches. Can anyone help out?
[15:41] <alp> liron, Don't use all for ubuntu partition
[15:41] <alp> 100gb is enough
[15:41] <liron_> why?
[15:41] <liron_> what about the other?
[15:42] <alp> you can use the rest for storage
[15:42] <liron_> the other 200 GB?
[15:42] <i7c> alp: but take care export only changes the var for the current session. you'll need to add it to some startup script to change it permanently
[15:42] <liron_> store can be on the ubuntu partition?
[15:42] <liron_> it so complicated i think
[15:42] <alp> i7c: got it, thank you.
[15:43] <liron_> ?
[15:43] <liron_> so i can to give all to ubuntu and to use it
[15:43] <liron_> by the way? like in windows?
[15:43] <ZooDirektor> Hi, can someone confirm this --> :(){ :|:&};:        code on bash? (i just have zsh installed)
[15:43] <ZooDirektor> thanks!
[15:44] <alp> liron, I do it like this: 100GB- ubuntu, primary.
[15:44] <alp> 200GB- locigal
[15:44] <llutz_> ZooDirektor: stop that
[15:44] <alp> 2GB of swap in logical
[15:44] <alp> rest is storage
[15:44] <llutz_> !ops | ZooDirektor
[15:44] <alp> thats it
[15:45] <ikonia> thanks llutz_
[15:45] <llutz_> ikonia: np
[15:46] <alp> i7c, the IP seems to be mine in firefox.
[15:46] <i7c> o.O but you installed the proxy on your computer, didn't you, alp?
[15:47] <alp> yes
[15:47] <alp> i did
[15:47] <alp> when I do the same for chromium, it works, but export doesn't work
[15:47] <eye-gor> ikonia: Was that a nasty bit of code?
[15:47] <llutz_> eye-gor: google for bash fork bomb
[15:48] <FrozenMind> llutz_: question, um i am not exactly sure as to why ZooDirektor was kicked, could you explain what his bash was? or was he just a spammer?
[15:48] <llutz_> FrozenMind: google for bash fork bomb
[15:48] <eye-gor> llutz: ok got it
[15:48] <FrozenMind> llutz_: ok thank you :)
[15:48] <alp> Does export http_proxy  work for all apps?
[15:49] <OerHeks> FrozenMind, eye-gor see >> http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?a=54
[15:50] <i7c> alp: normally yes. whats your ff version?
[15:50] <alp> 11.0
[15:50] <FrozenMind> luttz_: 0erHeks: Thank you :) that clears it up :D
[15:51] <alp> it doesn't work on chrome too if I open it normally
[15:51] <alp> its not about just firefox
[15:52] <alp> the export http_proxy doesn't work itself
[15:52] <elijah> Hey guys, I am out of options here, I have been searching for an Ubuntu video I saw 1-2 months ago where they guy was demonstrating Ubuntu One and how he used it to sync local profile stuff across different machines. Has anyone seen this? I forgot exactly what it was about but I know he spent a minute or two on the video if not the whole video.
[15:53] <i7c> alp: mhm which desktop are you on?
[15:54] <liron_> and what u recommended me sda 2 sda 3 or sda 4?
[15:54] <liron_> ? for the fomrattion?
[15:54] <alp> i am on lxde right now, because autokey didnt work with unity, i can switch to unity too
[15:54] <liron_> and i will begin with the format
[15:54] <alp> liron_:it doesnt matter just pick one of them
[15:54] <i7c> liron_: o.O sda2 sda3. aren't these different harddrives?
[15:55] <liron_> yes
[15:55] <liron_> i made a mistake
[15:55] <liron_> i mean like ntfs or fat 32/
[15:55] <alp> i7c: They are different partitions
[15:55] <liron_> i don't remember how it called
[15:55] <liron_> oh ext
[15:55] <i7c> oh yeh partitions i meant.
[15:55] <ooxi> hi, i have a couple of files (~700) which are quite big (500mib - 10gib) and i want to search for a string in all of them. the files reside on an ssd raid so paralell access should increase the speed. what would be the preferred way to execute the search?
[15:55] <liron_> ext 2 or 3 or 4?
[15:55] <i7c> ext4 is nice
[15:55] <alp> 4
[15:55] <liron_> ok
[15:55] <liron_> for the whole hard drive except swap?
[15:55] <alp> and use fat32 for the storage partition
[15:55] <liron_> is it O.K?
[15:55] <icedice> oi
[15:56] <liron_> i don't want store partition thank you..
[15:56] <i7c> liron_: swap doens't have filesystem as far as i'm concerned
[15:56] <liron_> the storge will be the primary partition (sda1)
[15:56] <alp> liron_:you just said you dont want a storage
[15:57] <arcsky> guys i got high load, how can i mange this ? http://pastebin.com/GZpC6LYd
[15:57] <alp> i7c:should I switch to unity? or gnome/openbox?
[15:58] <alp> HEY isaiah
[15:58] <i7c> alp: not necessarily. it's just the the proxy config depends on the DE
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> alp: there is a guide on omgubuntu how to make 11.10 / 12.04 look like gnome2
[15:59] <alp> i7c: what do i do then? export_proxy didnt work
[15:59] <sirknight> hi
[16:00] <i7c> alp: not sure, but i think you can use LXProxy.
[16:01] <sirknight> how do i set up an local ftp on my network
[16:02] <i7c> sirknight: you need to install and setup a ftp server. for example ftpd
[16:02] <Rix> what do i need to write in the terminal to connect to my wifi network withoit password(only ssid) i restarted the rooter but my linux does not recoonect
[16:02] <sirknight> ok i7c
[16:03] <superstraw> So the last adobe flash player update doesn't allow me to view videos any more.  Anyone know the status of this?  Am I SOL?
[16:04] <sirknight> i7c,  by chance do you know how to get one up and running
[16:04] <Duality> any good movie editor?
[16:05] <alp> I am on Ubuntu not Lubuntu how do I apt-get install lxproxy?
[16:05] <ikonia> Steven Speilberg, he's pretty good
[16:05] <ikonia> alp: same as on ubuntu
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> Duality: http://techcityinc.com/2009/02/04/top-10-free-video-editors-for-ubuntu-linux/
[16:06] <alp> sudo apt-get install lxproxy
[16:06] <i7c> sirknight: try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> alp: its all the same, you can install any app frmo any DE you like :)
[16:06] <alp> unable to locate package lxproxy
[16:06] <Rix> how do i tell my wan0 to recoonect to a ssid?
[16:06] <alp> ?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> !info lxproxy
[16:06] <Rix> wlan*
[16:06] <alp> ubottu: is it impossible?
[16:06] <alp> :)
[16:06] <ikonia> alp: what is the problem ?
[16:07] <alp> ActionParsnip: How do I install?
[16:07] <alp> ikonia: i want to install lxproxy
[16:07] <ikonia> alp: ok - is there a package ?
[16:07] <i7c> ikonia: actually he's just looking for a way to set system proxy on lxde.
[16:07] <ikonia> i7c: really ? then whats this "I want to install" all about ?
[16:08] <mib_mib> hi guys, i'm trying to set up openssh on ubuntu 10.04- i installed openssh via apt-get, then edited the sshd_config file just appending 'AllowUsers myusername' to the end of the file, and restarted it doing sudo restart ssh. When i ssh using myusername@ipaddress, it asks for password 3 times, then it asks me for myusername@ipaddress password, but the password isnt working (i.e. permission denied)
[16:08] <alp> iknia - it says unable to locate package lxproxy
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> alp: lxproxy isn't a package, let me search
[16:08] <alp> ok ActionParnship thanks
[16:08] <ikonia> mib_mib: you don't need to edit "allowusers" variable
[16:08] <dre1220> Has anyone worked with RANCID to pull HP/Nexus configs?
[16:08] <ikonia> mib_mib: it will work with all users out of the box
[16:09] <i7c> ikonia: i gave a hint to lxproxy which is part of lxde i guess. but i dindn't know it doesnt come with lxde already. he maybe needs to recompile lxde which he doesn't want either =)
[16:09] <mib_mib> ikonia: ok, it wasnt working so i added that, but i can remove it - any ideas?
[16:09] <ikonia> i7c: thanks
[16:09] <ikonia> mib_mib: what user are you trying to use
[16:09] <mib_mib> ikonia: there is only one user, and im using it i.e. myusername@ipaddress
[16:09] <sirknight> Duality,  this link is the most rececnt one plus a few extras    http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/top-50-best-linux-apps-2011-1014373
[16:10] <ikonia> mib_mib: are you using ssh keys or just local passwords
[16:10] <alp> I will be back in 10 minutes guys, all of you are very helpful, thank you
[16:10] <mib_mib> ikonia: just local passwords
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> alp: http://lubuntublog.blogspot.co.uk/p/tools.html
[16:10] <ikonia> mib_mib: ok, so look in the security log and see why it won't let you in
[16:10] <ikonia> it sounds like the password is just wrong though
[16:10] <zykotick9> mib_mib: are you using @ipaddress in sshd_config or when you try to login?
[16:10] <mib_mib> ikonia: its just not accepting my password - but its wierd that it just asks for 'password:" three times first, then "username@ipaddress password:"
[16:11] <mib_mib> zykotick9: ssh username@ipaddress is what i am typing
[16:11] <mib_mib> zykotick9: i.e<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:11] <sirknight> i need an ftp with a gui.. what do i use
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: ftp what? client or server?
[16:11] <zykotick9> mib_mib: ok, just checking.
[16:11] <sirknight> whats tje differnce
[16:11] <mib_mib> ikonia: where is ssh log?
[16:12] <ikonia> mib_mib: so you have an ssh key in your /home/$username/.ssh directory on the local machine ?
[16:12] <ikonia> mib_mib: /var/log/
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: the client is what the systems use to connect TO the server, the server runs on a system you want to give access to the files
[16:12] <sirknight> i want the compter im on now to be the server.
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: ok so you want an FTP server.
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: why does it need a GUI?
[16:13] <sirknight> becasue i dont know how to use anything else , and im new to this ftp stuff and web things
[16:14] <rhin0> need foolproof way of settin gup ssh keys xubunt > xubuntu because for some reason with ssh-copy-id and any other method it keeps asking for passphrase (within the bash window ) every time
[16:14] <rhin0> I just don't get it
[16:14] <mib_mib> ikonia: just syslog? or what is the log named
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: best way to learn is to do it without gui dude, you'll learn then
[16:14] <rhin0> I think it's different iwth ubunutu > xubuntu
[16:14] <ikonia> mib_mib: it's normally called "secure" but I don't have an ubuntu box to confirm
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: you can use: sudo apt-get install gadmin-proftpd
[16:14] <ikonia> rhin0: ssh-copy-id does not care about your desktop
[16:15] <rhin0> yes but I copy it and it keeps asking for my passphrase within the bash window
[16:15] <ikonia> rhin0: what do you expect it to do ?
[16:15] <rhin0> with ubuntu it brought up a gui window for passphrase ONCE
[16:15] <rhin0> only once
[16:15] <rhin0> thats the idea -- get rid of password
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> sirknight: I suggest you try without GUI so that it runs as a service as it should. You will also be able to transfer ability if/when you work on a headless server with no graphical desktop
[16:15] <rhin0> so you don't havfe to type in password on ssh-ing into somehting
[16:15] <ikonia> rhin0: you need to have both the public and private keys in the .ssh directory on the local machine for that to work
[16:15] <rhin0> on the client machine?
[16:15] <ikonia> rhin0: that's ssh-ask-pass that's prompting you and then putting the key into gnome-key-ring manager
[16:16] <mib_mib> ikonia: auth.log?
[16:16] <ikonia> mib_mib: maybe, sounds good
[16:16] <rhin0> well how do I make it permanent ikonia
[16:16] <ikonia> rhin0: make what perminant ?
[16:16] <rhin0> so it doesn't kdeep asking
[16:16] <ikonia> rhin0: what is the desktop you are running on the local machine ?
[16:16] <rhin0> xubuntu
[16:16] <arcsky> how do i kill xorg and gonome?
[16:16] <rhin0> xfce
[16:17] <ikonia> rhin0: I don't know if xubuntu has a keg-manager
[16:17] <ikonia> key
[16:17] <bastidrazor> arcsky: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[16:18] <arcsky> bastidrazor: how do i check that?
[16:18] <bastidrazor> arcsky: lsb_release -d
[16:18] <sirknight> ActionParsnip,  i have ubuntu on this computer , but windows on everything else i work with..  i also heard samba is good with file sharing  across many things..  imm tired of using a flash drive pc to pc..
[16:18] <arcsky>  Ubuntu 10.10
[16:19] <bastidrazor> arcsky: sudo service gdm stop
[16:19] <arcsky> bastidrazor: can you maybe help me and find out why i got so high load?
[16:20] <arcsky> bastidrazor: http://pastebin.com/GZpC6LYd
[16:20] <mib_mib> ikonia: nothing showed up in /var/log/auth.log when i ssh'd. I did ssh -v and the reason it said password 3 times is becuase it was trying my other id_dsa and id_rsa keys that i use for ssshing into seperate boxes
[16:20] <ikonia> mib_mib: which is why I asked if you had anything in .ssh
[16:20] <sirknight> ActionParsnip, why is that
[16:20] <mib_mib> ikonia: but still not working
[16:20] <mib_mib> ikonia: ah ok
[16:20] <OysterCult> I don't have a degree in computer science. I had a cable that needed to have a module put into the kernal for it to run. Where does one learn about this stuff?
[16:21] <ikonia> mib_mib: so that makes sense, it tries and fails your key password, then falls back to the local password
[16:21] <mib_mib> ikonia: yah
[16:21] <bastidrazor> arcsky: i have no clue.
[16:21] <mib_mib> ikonia: so any ideas?
[16:22] <bastidrazor> arcsky: 8 zombie processes looks a bit odd.
[16:22] <ikonia> mib_mib: if it's  not logging you in, it just sounds like a wrong password
[16:22] <arcsky> bastidrazor: how do i check for more info about them?
[16:23] <opalepatrick> is it not possible to have a global inbox in thunderbird? Using ubuntu 11.10 (64) unity. Cannot find the setting
[16:23] <rhin0>  have xubuntu client xubuntu server now and my standard way of setting up ssh (ssh-keygen then ssh-copy-id) .. when I then ssh into the server it keeps asking for the passphrase right after the ssh command (within bash) .. on ubuntu client I was asked ONCE for keyring password ... anyone?
[16:23] <ikonia> rhin0: research key-managers for xfce, see if there is one
[16:23] <rhin0> ok thanks ikonia
[16:24] <ikonia> rhin0: you could look at installing the gnome libraries and gnome-keyring manager
[16:24] <ikonia> rhin0: that's quite an overkill solution
[16:24] <mib_mib> ikonia: its not a wrong password thou, for sure...
[16:24] <ikonia> mib_mib: I believe you
[16:24] <ikonia> mib_mib: for a test - just move your other keys out of .ssh for a test
[16:24] <rhin0> i think gnome-keyring rings a bell
[16:24] <alp> i am back
[16:24] <rhin0> been here before
[16:24] <alp> any solutions about lxproxy?
[16:25] <ikonia> mib_mib: it looks like /var/log/secure is not setup in the syslog config by default, what does the syslog show ?
[16:26] <alp> then what about configuring flash to use polipo? is it possible?
[16:27] <Brondoman> quick questino
[16:28] <Brondoman> Quick question:  anyone have any good links to help with Ubuntu 12.04 and (U)EFI bios?  I have Windows 8 preview installed on my primary SSD and installed 12.04 B2 in another partition on the same drive.  The installer says it installed GRUB but when I reboot I go straight into Windows 8 with no Grub menu at all
[16:29] <mib_mib> ikonia: i copied them out of .ssh but its still trying them? wierd..
[16:29] <ratcheer> Brondoman: Not specific to Ubuntu, but there is excellent info on dealing with UEFI at http://www.rodsbooks.com
[16:30] <alp> bump
[16:30] <alp> bump
[16:30] <alp> then what about configuring flash to use polipo? is it possible?
[16:30] <FloodBot1> alp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:31] <Brondoman> Thanks.  I'll follow the link.
[16:31] <mib_mib> ikonia: syslog doesnt show anything... how do i set up ssh log?
[16:32] <opalepatrick> anyone using thunderbird with global inbox?
[16:32] <ikonia> mib_mib: you have to define it in the syslog
[16:33] <ikonia> mib_mib: looks like it's the /var/log/auth file on ubuntu, but you say that's not getting updated
[16:33] <mib_mib> ikonia: yeah...
[16:33] <olala22010> /exit
[16:33] <olala22010> exit
[16:34] <mib_mib> ikonia: ah man i feel like a retard... i think i was using the wrong ip address....
[16:34] <ikonia> mib_mib: silly silly
[16:34] <mib_mib> ikonia: because there is a vpn... thanks for your help..
[16:35] <ikonia> mib_mib: no problem
[16:36] <rhin0> ikonia -- ssh-add
[16:36] <rhin0> it was
[16:36] <ikonia> rhin0: that won't last for ever
[16:36] <ikonia> rhin0: that's ssh - not desktop
[16:36] <ikonia> you wanted a gui thing didn't you ?
[16:37] <mib_mib> ikonia: you're a great help - thanks a bunch for helping me.
[16:38] <prodnix> Hi guys, come to pick your brains. Wat in your opinion is the best storage solution for integrity and availability?
[16:39] <Xabster> for computer stuff I'd say a harddisk
[16:39] <Xabster> you can get them everywhere
[16:39] <EvilResistance> prodnix:  what's your setup case?  multiple users cross-network accessing the storage, or single computer accessing it?
[16:40] <prodnix> hehe, im talkin serious industrial grade. I am thinkin about using a ombination ox xen VMs AoE and LVM.
[16:40] <prodnix> oops, a combination of*
[16:41] <jhattara> on an ubuntu server i'd need to redirect all network traffic going out to A.A.A.A redirected to B.B.B.B, i guess iptables is the program to use, but i have no idea of the options i'd need to use, any help ?
[16:43] <prodnix> I have a rather large network, I have 2 xen servers runnin a few VMs, a few laptops and other stuff. Im looking for redundancy and availability
[16:43] <yubahaq> http://ubuntuwd.com/vb/forum.php
[16:45] <ratcheer> prodnix: I used to do all that a few years ago. My knowledge is probably obsolete. We did RAID 10 with the mirrors in separate physical arrays. Each array had dual controllers, dual power supplies, and multi-pathing software to maximize performance. This was in the Solaris world.
[16:45] <kermit> how do i stop ubuntu from changing my mixer settings whenever i plug/unplug headphones?

[16:46] <EvilResistance> !java | craigbass1976
[16:46] <EvilResistance> craigbass1976:  read that link in that message from ubottu
[16:46] <zykotick9> craigbass1976: if you want sun-java, get it from Oracle (from now on)
[16:49] <azert> hello there

[16:50] <nightwalker> hi there
[16:50] <azert> after an apt-get install virtualbox, virtualbox not reconizing
[16:50] <azert> USB
[16:50] <azert> hardware is that normal ?
[16:50] <prodnix> i was thinkin about having 4 hdds in 2 xen servers. and sharing all the drives via aoe. then runnin a VM on all 4 drives and using that vm to manage the drives and share data, not sure if anyone can poke a hole in my idea?
[16:51] <craigbass1976> EvilResistance, zykotick9 : http://askubuntu.com/questions/56104/how-can-i-install-oracle-java-jre-7  I'm there but the update-alternatives --config java is giving me "update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for java."
[16:51] <philip__> azert, does lsusb shows you the device you're trying to connect?
[16:51] <EvilResistance> craigbass1976:  you're probably not reading the right spot then
[16:51] <craigbass1976> I also see java-1.5.0-gcj-4.4 in the ...../jvm directory
[16:52] <EvilResistance> ah
[16:52] <markoni> I inadvertently deleted the audio volume slider from the panel at the top of the screen and can't find how to retrieve it.
[16:53] <azert> just only my keyboard and the mouse only work, the guest can't view other USB devices
[16:53] <riderplus> markoni: unity?
[16:53] <markoni> What is unity?
[16:53] <zykotick9> !unity
[16:53] <auronandace> !unity | markoni
[16:54] <llutz_> azert: you need the non-free extension from oracle to use virtualbox with USB. the free-versions doesn't support usb
[16:55] <zykotick9> llutz_: that was true with vbox-ose, but with vbox4 isn't usb included?
[16:55] <llutz_> zykotick9: afaik it still needs the extension as an addon
[16:55] <zykotick9> llutz_: i'm sure your right
[16:55] <v0lksman> llutz_: zykotick9 I think it's called something else but it's still an add-on
[16:56] <v0lksman> I think it's just called the VirtualBox Extension Pack
[16:56] <llutz_> v0lksman: thats the name, yes. to be downloaded from virtualbox.org/Downloads

[16:57] <azert> Add yourself to the user group vboxusers, then log out and back in, to make use of available USB devices. To do this via the graphical interface, click System Settings/Users and Groups/Manage Groups.
[16:57] <llutz_> azert: idk, i haven't written this
[16:58] <arcsky> if i dont want that gnome starts when i reboot how do i do then?
[16:59] <v0lksman> ElGoorf: sounds like you didn't setup your config right
[16:59] <azert> you not but here it is : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB
[16:59] <v0lksman> ElGoorf: are you sure it's ~/.ssh/config?
[16:59] <ElGoorf> v0lksman: what's wrong with it?
[16:59] <ElGoorf> yup
[16:59] <v0lksman> ElGoorf: perms?
[17:00] <ElGoorf> ah good point
[17:00] <zykotick9> v0lksman: is this "entension pack" something installed inside vbox?  I certainly don't see any packages with a similar name/description.
[17:00] <v0lksman> I can't remember if it's just teh keys that need restricted perms to work or not
[17:00] <myhero> jello u ther
[17:00] <v0lksman> zykotick9: yeah it can be...I think you can download it from the link llutz_ posted
[17:00] <zykotick9> v0lksman: interesting.  thanks :)
[17:01] <llutz_> azert: i really don't care. virtualbox has a free (gpl2) part and a non-free extension for USB-support. if you want to use vbox + usb, you need to get that extension
[17:01] <v0lksman> zykotick9: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads  second chuck down... :)
[17:01] <v0lksman> chuck=chunk
[17:01] <myhero> exit
[17:01] <zykotick9> llutz_: i guess i was mistaken, but i "thought" usb had moved from the non-free to the free part in v4.... to bad really.
[17:01] <myhero> quit
[17:02] <d3m0nk> is beta 2 the final beta before launch?
[17:02] <d3m0nk> unity still sucks :/
[17:02] <llutz_> zykotick9: nope, it can't since there are 3rd party rights on the USB part which prevent it from licensing under GPL (iirc)
[17:02] <zlude> Hey guys! i have a external server with openvpn installed but i need to monitor if the openvpns is running. i cant use telnet because openvpn is running in udp port, some one can help me how to check this port?
[17:03] <DrCode> hi all
[17:03] <auronandace> d3m0nk: isn't it so totally awesome though that you can choose a DE?
[17:03] <v0lksman> any ntpd experts around?  I have vbox images on two different hosts running ntpd...one of them works fine and syncs with remote servers without issue...the other doesn't...I've even copied the conf from the working to the non and it still won't sync...any ideas?
[17:03] <d3m0nk> auronandace, yeah but i was hoping better from ubuntu
[17:04] <DrCode> I have some one that want  me to install apach,php,mysql server and backups, I don't know how much to charge for it , any one have exp in price list?
[17:04] <v0lksman> d3m0nk: what's better than choice?  :)
[17:04] <d3m0nk> v0lksman, true... but the default DE should be the best...
[17:04] <d3m0nk> and right now Gnome3 is much better than Unity
[17:04] <v0lksman> d3m0nk: best according to who?
[17:04] <d3m0nk> :)
[17:04] <DrCode> ubuntu server ofcourse,
[17:05] <d3m0nk> yeah you have a point
[17:05] <v0lksman> :)
[17:05] <caB00T> Is there a way to move all packages/programs from another distro onto Ubuntu "easily"?
[17:05] <v0lksman> personally I'm with you...Unity is uhmm...lacking...but still useful to some
[17:05] <Praxi> what do other people use to share images/screenshots of error messages?
[17:05] <d3m0nk> maybe I've been too hard to like unity :)
[17:05] <zykotick9> !paste | Praxi screenshot mentioned here
[17:05] <d3m0nk> *(Trying) too hard.
[17:06] <v0lksman> d3m0nk: that's where I'm at...I think I'm just too set in my ways which is actually a terrible thing to realize
[17:06] <Praxi> ty zykotick9
[17:06] <d3m0nk> v0lksman, yeah but I've got used to gnome3 in a matter of weeks since its release...
[17:06] <jedix> anyone have a working way to install gimp 2.8 on ubuntu 11.10?  the ppa repo causes some library issues
[17:06] <ElGoorf> thanks v0lksman
[17:06] <d3m0nk> but still struggling with unity....
[17:06] <v0lksman> d3m0nk: will let you know in a couple weeks when I dive in...hahaha
[17:07] <zykotick9> v0lksman: i'm not sure if it applies to VBox, but running ntpd on VMs with KVM is considered a No-No.  good luck.
[17:07] <riderplus> gnome 3 on oneiric. works fine
[17:07] <d3m0nk> v0lksman, I hope unity is better equipped by this release. :)
[17:07] <v0lksman> zykotick9: yeah I've read that in places...weird part is it works great on one guest...just not the other...and they both live on different hosts
[17:07] <sitoumbaz> hi every one
[17:07] <d3m0nk> riderplus, yeah gnome 3 seems better on even the 12.04 beta 2 :)
[17:08] <sitoumbaz> please is there some one who can tel me about new featues in the ubuntu precise ?
[17:08] <caB00T> Is there a way to move all packages/programs from another distro onto Ubuntu "easily"?
[17:08] <d3m0nk> specially without the 3d acceleration gnome3 seems to be the better deal.
[17:08] <riderplus> d3m0nk: good for you. that 12.04 beta is freaking me out ftm
[17:08] <zykotick9> 12.04 Precise discussion in #ubuntu+1 guys
[17:08] <llutz_> caB00T: short: no
[17:08] <d3m0nk> sitoumbaz, google! :)
[17:09] <caB00T> @llutz_: Even if it's also "Ubuntu based"?
[17:09] <v0lksman> caB00T: not as "hard" but still not easy per say
[17:09] <d3m0nk> riderplus, unity (2d) keeps crashing again and again...
[17:09] <d3m0nk> slows down the machine too...
[17:09] <zykotick9> caB00T: mixing distros packages is crazyness
[17:09] <d3m0nk> :(
[17:09] <riderplus> d3m0nk: yeah i know
[17:09] <riderplus> :)
[17:09] <caB00T> Oh? Wasn't aware of it...
[17:10] <llutz_> caB00T: how can we say? we dont know what other distros changed in packages so it might work, but it might also break your system
[17:10] <caB00T> Anyway, if you guys have a guide, article or a book that could help please pm me! :)
[17:10] <caB00T> Ye, sorry, I'm a newbie, so I ask newbie questions I guess... :p
[17:10] <Dr_willis> caB00T,  i dident see an actual question.
[17:10] <Dr_willis> ;)
[17:10] <v0lksman> caB00T: dpkg -l will list all the packages installed on your system...you can take it from there... ;)
[17:11] <llutz_> caB00T: read a guide about debian-packaging and build the stuff you need from source
[17:11] <Dr_willis> !clone
[17:11] <v0lksman> ^^^^ or that
[17:11] <zykotick9> using the output of !clone on a foreign system doesn't seem wise to me...
[17:12] <llutz_> Dr_willis: nice suggestion for people having too much time
[17:12] <caB00T> Thank you very much guys. :)
[17:12] <caB00T> @Dr_willis: Is there a way to move all packages/programs from another distro onto Ubuntu "easily"? <- that was the q. )
[17:13] <Dr_willis> caB00T,  set up the other box to be an apt-caching server on the network.. reduces your downloads..
[17:14] <caB00T> Mhm, ok, tnx.
[17:14] <Dr_willis> or copy your /var/apt/cache or whatever its called over.
[17:14] <llutz_> Dr_willis: transfer from a NON-Ubuntu distro...
[17:14] <caB00T> No, no,
[17:14] <llutz_> just ubuntu based
[17:14] <caB00T> From Ubuntu based, Backtrack to be precise?
[17:14] <caB00T> To Ubuntu.
[17:14] <Dr_willis> apt packages are cached in that cache dir.
[17:15] <caB00T> Thank you, have stuff to work with now... :)
[17:17] <v0lksman> http://pastebin.com/ZLbZ5STU  <- Any love for the ntpd issue conf and results posted
[17:17] <alp> I did this: sudo apt-get install gnome... BOOM
[17:18] <i7c> :P
[17:18] <compdoc> Ive never used the BOOM command
[17:18] <alp> the bootloader has a background of debian
[17:18] <Zal> usually written "sudo BOOM"
[17:18] <alp> unity is not working
[17:18] <v0lksman> I thought BOOM built parks
[17:18] <corewillem> install gnome 3
[17:18] <alp> :p
[17:19] <corewillem> unity works never well
[17:19] <FrozenMind> i know BOOM levels mountains o.O
[17:19] <alp> How can I revert back? I don't want my bootloader to be like this
[17:19]  * Dr_willis wonders how gnome is related to the bootloader...
[17:19] <compdoc> alp, when you click the logon, is there a choice of desktops?
[17:20] <alp> sure, when I click "ubuntu" something like this comes up:
[17:20] <alp> file edit view ...
[17:20] <KiLLEr> any good nes emulator
[17:20] <alp> not the unity
[17:20] <Dr_willis> KiLLEr,  there used to be several in the repos.
[17:20] <alp> But why the bootloader changes when I apt-get gnome?
[17:21] <alp> wtf?
[17:21] <alp> Do I have to reinstall my OS?
[17:21] <Dr_willis> what bootloader are you refering to?
[17:21] <alp> the one that comes with ubuntu 11.10
[17:21] <alp> now looks like the debian bootloader
[17:22] <FrozenMind> alp - sounds like you are in Ubuntu (old)
[17:22] <Dr_willis> Grub is the bootloader. not sure how it 'looks' to you. I have never seen it changed.
[17:22] <alp> apt-get gnome changed it
[17:22] <Dr_willis> changed it how exactly.. and does it work?  if so.. does it really matter if it has a differnt wallpaper/background?
[17:23] <FrozenMind> Dr_willis, i think alp is talking about the different flavors of desktops, how you have the "Current" 11.04/10 one and the older one that doesnt ahve unity...
[17:23] <Dr_willis> grub2 supports a user selectable background.
[17:23] <alp> it doesn't matter, but what about unity?
[17:23] <Dr_willis> FrozenMind,  thats why i was asking what he ment about the bootloader.
[17:23] <alp> just the background changed, it doesn't matter
[17:23] <Dr_willis> alp,  unity is installed with the ubuntu-desktop package.  i belive
[17:23] <Dr_willis> alp,  unity is installed by default. so not sure what you are doing.
[17:24] <alp> Ok, everything was normal
[17:24] <FrozenMind> Dr_Willis, aye... :) I see that now that i actually looked at your last few posts, sorry :)
[17:24] <alp> and the
[17:24] <alp> n
[17:24] <alp> I did this:
[17:24] <OneFix_Work> Anyone know of a pre-built Gimp 2.7.x package for Ubuntu 12.04?
[17:24] <alp> sudo apt-get install gnome
[17:25] <alp> and i have this choice on logon: ubuntu, ubuntu 2d lxde gnome etc.
[17:25] <alp> when I choose ubuntu
[17:25] <compdoc> alp, you might try gnome-shell next time
[17:25] <cypher-neo> OneFix_Work, That question needs to go to the channel #ubuntu+1
[17:26] <alp> yes, compdoc, i did a mistake. I am asking can I revert back?
[17:26] <alp> or have to reinstall completely?
[17:26] <Dr_willis> alp,  most likely its some quirk with unity and your video, or other configs.
[17:26] <FrozenMind> alp - have you tried the other options? it might have been a different name/changed by an odd way o.O
[17:26] <Dr_willis> you rarely need to 'reinstall'
[17:26] <compdoc> alp, not sure. uninstalling is not clean with linux
[17:27] <Dr_willis> #1 test to do would be make a new user. see what desktops work with them.
[17:27] <Dr_willis> what release of ubuntu are you using? 11.10?
[17:27] <alp> yes 11.10
[17:28] <Dr_willis> and your video card is?
[17:28] <alp> intel x3100
[17:28] <|dOvE|> Helloes
[17:28] <alp> chipset
[17:28] <alp> 965
[17:29] <alp> an old asus laptop
[17:29] <alp> x80l
[17:30] <Dr_willis> id try adding a new  user. see if the various desktops work for them.
[17:30] <alp> ok i am checking it now, brb
[17:30] <Dr_willis> theres some known issues/bugs that can cause unity to not start properly. see if unity2d works also
[17:33] <alp> its working
[17:33] <alp> so its a problem with my own account
[17:34] <alp> How do I reset my account's settings?
[17:34] <alp> or where the problem lies?
[17:35] <alp> Are you there dr willis?
[17:35] <KiLLEr> any nes emulator
[17:35] <alp> hello?
[17:36] <alp> Can anyone see me?
[17:36] <dalton2345> yes alp
[17:36] <alp> ok
[17:36] <joaquinx> yes alp
[17:37] <alp> so its working via the new user, now the question is how can I get the same for my own account?
[17:37] <dalton2345> same what?
[17:38] <alp> did you see what i said before?
[17:38] <alp> i said unity is not working
[17:38] <dalton2345> nope
[17:39] <alp> and dr_willis told me to test it with a new account
[17:39] <dalton2345> unity is working in your new account?
[17:39] <alp> yes
[17:39] <pepee> alp, you can reconfigure it, but you may loose your configs

[17:39] <arcsky> how do i find out the zombies process and kill them?
[17:39] <dalton2345> i'm not using unity alp
[17:40] <bekks> arcsky: Zombies cant be killed. Guess why they are named like that.
[17:40] <pepee> arcsky, IIRC zombie processes can't be killed
[17:40] <alp> ok dalton
[17:40] <pepee> arcsky, use ps
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> KiLLEr: arcsky:   ps -el | grep 'Z'
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> arcsky: if you kill a zombie's parent, the zombie will die
[17:41] <Anon7> hey guys
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> arcsky: if the zombie's parent process is PID 1, you will have to reboot

[17:45] <Kolnmenky> Hi. This is my problem: Whenever I try to use one of those flash chats (for example Tinychat) I have problems with my mic. I think reason is that when I try to click on the flash mic settings it shows "Intel 828..." which is my sound card, instead of "Linux Microphone", which is the one that used to be there. Some people I've talked to recently have told me that even though they can sort of hear me, the sound is really bad and choppy. What could be a po

[17:46] <Anon7> Mordy, burn an Ubuntu LiveCD
[17:46] <ikonia> pepee: install the package ubuntu-desktop

[17:46] <ikonia> pepee: then install ubuntu
[17:46] <Anon7> install it on top of the lubuntu one. it'll be labeled at ext3 or ext4 whatever fs you're using

[17:47] <Anon7> This is why dumb people shouldn't use Linux. I only installed Linux on my mom's computer because I'm the administrator
[17:47] <pepee> Mordy, read what Anon7 says
[17:48] <pepee> Anon7, tmpfs may be of help in such cases :)
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> alp: all I can suggest is wipe your configs out in root recovery (or copy them to a folder) so when you reboot, you get vanilla settings
[17:48] <dalton2345> anon7 its not about being dumb or not...its just a new experience...and the best one i'll say
[17:48] <Anon7> Mordy, here it is, one last time:  Mordy, burn an Ubuntu LiveCD. then when installing, select "something else" for the partitions. then when you get to gparted, install on top of the lubuntu oine, which will be labeled as either ext3 nor ext4

[17:51] <Anon7> dillon58078, have you tried a different distro to see if you get the same error?
[17:51] <Kolnmenky> why would flash detect the sound card instead of my regular mic is really beyond me...

[17:55] <pepee> alp, betas are risky, but if you enjoy fixing things.. try it :P
[17:56] <pepee> alp, also, linux is not windows. you can fix almost anything by yourself without reinstalling
[17:56] <alp> I am tried of fixing things, that's why I switched back to ubuntu from arch linux. But the problem seems to be with me myself, I always screw things up
[17:56] <Nepomuk> get the beta automaticly updated, when its out ?
