[16:56] <bekks> !root | cuqa
[16:56] <lovepenguin> Nobody knows anything on touchscreens and ubuntu?
[16:57] <milamber> zwirc: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties (that is the package that contains add-apt-repository)
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> !anyone | lovepenguin
[16:57] <cuqa> you can also use ubuntu with root password and without sudo .. some providers do that to their vservers
[16:57] <cuqa> thats why im saying it
[16:57] <kylescottmcgill> zwirc: are you connected to the internet?>
[16:57] <zwirc> milamber: ok tnx will try
[16:57] <lovepenguin> MonkeyDust: I already asked the question above
[16:57] <zwirc> kylescottmcgill: yea
[16:58] <MonkeyDust> lovepenguin  better repeat it then, but not too often, this is a busy channel
[16:58] <michael_2> Owiec: Manual installation can be extremely difficult.  The only easy option is to use the installer.  Have you tried redownloading and reburning the install disk in case of a corrupt copy?
[16:58] <lovepenguin> I've got an Asus q200e and I need a touchscreen-compatible operating system, is Ubuntu ready for that use case?
[16:58] <kylescottmcgill> zwirc: also, if you are running gnome, i would open System Settings, Under packages or software there are some options, about mirrors, get Ubuntu to find the one you want, and then try to sudo apt-get update ;
[16:59] <Owiec> michael_2: no i didnt try, i think all is ok. I also found that problem in google but i didnt find the solution
[17:00] <Owiec> michael_2: i can install manualy, give hint to some documentation
[17:00] <cuqa> lovepenguin:  ubuntu offers you to try ubuntu without the need to install it. so you can try it out. just download latest ubuntu iso and get it on a stick
[17:01] <milamber> lovepenguin: you might want to look into kde plasma active also
[17:01] <dartos> Can anyone tell me how to get ubuntu running on a netbook with cedar trail? I can run the installer with the GUI but when it boots X fails to start
[17:01] <lovepenguin> I'll give it a shot - kde plasma looks interesting
[17:02] <michael_2> Owiec: I'm not aware of a resource for manual installation.  It would basically involve manually setting up GRUB, setting up your swap partition, and copying all the files manually.  Then you would have to manually configure everything.  It would be a very difficult process.
[17:02] <zwirc> tnx for help, got PHP 5.4 now =)
[17:02] <Owiec> michael_2: i dont see any other option
[17:03] <milamber> !yay | zwirc
[17:03] <kylescottmcgill> michael_2: there is the minimal version of ubuntu, its like 30 MB, and then you can tasksel to get most things set up
[17:03] <lovepenguin> One other thing - can you install 32 bit ubuntu on a 64 bit compatible laptop?
[17:03] <wting> How do I forcefully shut down a program (xbmc) when my system is locked and I can't move the mouse?
[17:03] <lovepenguin> Just for compatibility I mean
[17:03] <milamber> lovepenguin: yes, and i would actually recommend it for a new user
[17:03] <wting> or, what's the Ubuntu equivalent of ctrl+alt+del?
[17:03] <lovepenguin> Thanks guys!
[17:03] <michael_2> Owiec: Check what kylescottmcgill just said.  That might be your best option.
[17:03] <dartos> wting: You mean task manager?
[17:04] <milamber> lovepenguin: depending on how much ram you have you may want to enable pae
[17:04] <dartos> wting: if you want to kill something that froze run xkill in the term and click on the frozen window
[17:04] <wting> dartos: I want to force quit a program that's not responding, through GUI so my mom can do it.
[17:04] <kylescottmcgill> Owiec: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD you can this out
[17:05] <dartos> wting: ah... if you hit alt-f2 then type in xkill it would still work... but thats all I got for ya
[17:05] <wting> dartos: Mouse was unresponsive, I could not bring up terminal. I had to drop to tty1 and use kill -9, but I need a mom-friendly method.
[17:05] <dartos> wting: alt-f2 then xkill
[17:05] <dartos> xkill is not hard to remember
[17:05] <kylescottmcgill> Owiec: http://wiki.debian.org/tasksel then you can install Desktop Enviroment, and sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop (if you want gnome)
[17:05] <dartos> and if she can remember ctrl-alt-del then she can get alt-f2
[17:06] <Random832> unless the keyboard is also unresponsive
[17:06] <dartos> Random832: then you reboot :P
[17:06] <wting> Perhaps, but the bigger issue is why does xbmc crashing lead to an unresponsive mouse / keyboard.
[17:06] <Random832> might have to restart the computer - it's _possible_ for a program on windows to get it wedged so that you can't start the task manager, too, just less likely
[17:06] <wting> i.e. why does a userspace program have the ability to halt X?
[17:06] <Random832> alternately, you could set up sshd, so that when your mom calls you you can fix it remotely
[17:07] <kylescottmcgill> Teamviwer is great
[17:07] <wting> Random832: It's already set up, but you and I know that's a poor long-term solution.
[17:07] <kylescottmcgill> for remote fixes
[17:07] <Owiec> michael_2, kylescottmcgill: ok thx, i will try that
[17:07] <mario_7> Is it possible to boot LiveCD on Dell desktop with Ubuntu preinstalled? When I try to do it, it somehow loads not the contents of CD, but contents of recovery partition in 'live mode'. This also happens when one choose Install Ubuntu - installer from recovery partiton loads and it does not allow to finish partitioning step because of partition from hd lready mounted. Recovery partition seems to be mounted in /cdrom. Any ideas how to avoi
[17:07] <mario_7> d such behavior?
[17:07] <Random832> wting: does she have two computers?
[17:07] <kylescottmcgill> Owiec: good luck :) i have done lots of those setups so yell out if you get stuck
[17:07] <greyduck> howdy peeps
[17:07] <TheLordOfTime> mario_7, select what to boot from at BIOS.
[17:07] <wting> Random832: Yes.
[17:08] <Random832> you could set up a script that finds whatever program is taking up the cpu or whatever and kills it, and put an icon on the other computer that runs it
[17:08] <TheLordOfTime> mario_7, you may have to tell your system to boot from CD, rather than recovery.
[17:08] <wting> Random832: The other computer is Windows. T_T
[17:08] <wting> Trying to get her to try out Ubuntu.
[17:08] <Mir09> hi all
[17:08] <Random832> wting: i'm not sure what the problem is
[17:09] <mario_7> TheLordOfTime, pc boots from cd, when i choose LiveCD mode it does not load the CD but it loads system from recovery partition
[17:09] <cuqa> me neither
[17:09] <greyduck> hi Mir09
[17:09] <Random832> the script itself would reside on the ubuntu system, all you need on windows is to run a ssh command to start it
[17:09] <Owiec> hmm i have one question more: i see ubuntu has now option to save change in system in live usb. I need linux only to code in Ruby On Rails, so mayby it will work in that way on live usb?  On Windows, ctr+alt+del *always* works except in BSODs.
[17:09] <Nekura> kylescottmcgill: still no idea what's wrong with sudoers: http://pastebin.com/tSAf5exj
[17:10] <Ubiquity> I'm on my last big hurdle of a project
[17:10] <milamber> Owiec: it's not a bad idea, but persistent usb installs are not able to update kernel or the like
[17:10] <greyduck> this is way above me
[17:10] <Ubiquity> I need to enable wake on lan
[17:10] <Random832> wting: my point is, you write a script, in python or whatever, on ubuntu, to find the bad problem and kill it
[17:10] <greyduck> better look for ubuntu noobs
[17:10] <Random832> then you have an icon you click on the windows system to ssh into the ubuntu system and runs the script
[17:10] <Owiec> milamber: but what with performance?
[17:10] <kylescottmcgill> lolol
[17:10] <Ubiquity> I've set it up in the bios
[17:10] <mario_7> Random832, huh?
[17:11] <Random832> mario_7: <mario_7> HTheLordOfTimeH, pc boots from cd, when i choose LiveCD mode...
[17:11] <kylescottmcgill> Nekura: kyle ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[17:11] <Random832> i'm trying to figure out what those weird H's were supposed to be
[17:11] <milamber> Owiec: obviously there would be a performance decrease, and i would always recommend a full install of the linux
[17:11] <kylescottmcgill> is the line you need
[17:11] <greyduck> tatty bye!
[17:11] <Random832> was it in like bold, italic, blinking rainbow sprinkles, or what?
[17:11] <kylescottmcgill> Nekura: you also need to log out and login before this will work properly
[17:11] <Nekura> kylescottmcgill: ohhh. that'd help huh lol.
[17:11] <cuqa> so what Ubiquity? whats the problem
[17:11] <milamber> greyduck: this channel is for new user support
[17:11] <Nekura> thanks ;p
[17:11] <mario_7> Random832, I can see it properly, x-chat's fault?
[17:12] <kylescottmcgill> then after that you can sudo <command> and it wont ask you for your password... please be careful though, it is bad practise :)
[17:12] <Random832> mario_7: you can see _what_ properly, is my question
[17:12] <Ubiquity> cuqa: well, i have it set up in linux, as far as i can tell. And I have a program on windows to wake it up
[17:12] <TheLordOfTime> Random832, that's your end.
[17:12] <Ubiquity> cuqa: but it's not waking up
[17:12] <Random832> i have no way to know what it's supposed to be, _because_ i don't ...DAMMIT
[17:12] <TheLordOfTime> Random832, and not a question related directly to this channel.
[17:12] <Random832> I want to know what font the nick is in so that I know what that control character does, IS THAT SO HARD?
[17:12] <Random832> like ctrl-b does bold, ctrl-_ does underline, ctrl-c does color, what does ctrl-h doe
[17:13] <Random832> do*
[17:13] <Nekura> kylescottmcgill: no one else has access to my box. If I could just give it nopasswd without the ALL part that specifies command privileges ( or atleast i think it does) i'd be set
[17:13] <TheLordOfTime> Random832, which irc client
[17:13] <Random832> ....whatever mario_7 is using
[17:13] <mario_7> x-chat
[17:13] <Random832> all i want to know is what font the nick was supposed to be in
[17:13] <Nekura> I'm not familiar with the format of sudoers, so I will now become accustomed with man sudoers lol
[17:13] <kylescottmcgill> Nekura: trust me, use that line as it is and replace kyle with your username, the all in those means all commands
[17:13] <mario_7> i see it as clear text
[17:13] <Nekura> cool, thanks.
[17:13] <Ubiquity> cuqa: i've set up ethtools
[17:13] <mario_7> and i didn;t add any formatting if you ask about it :P
[17:14] <Nekura> I put no doubt in you lol.
[17:14] <kylescottmcgill> Nekura: :)
[17:14] <kylescottmcgill> lol
[17:14] <cuqa> did you once try to wake it up manually?
[17:15] <DarkPrince946> Hello, anyone got any experience with nxserver?
[17:15] <bekks> !anyone | DarkPrince946
[17:15] <Ubiquity> cuqa: you mean, by pressing the power button
[17:15] <kylescottmcgill> Nekura: also, sudo su <user> is what you need too
[17:15] <Ubiquity> cuqa: yes, that works
[17:15] <cuqa> i mean by sending a magic packet
[17:15] <ska> I have a lot of old kernels in my grub.cfg file. Many are long gone. How do I fix/clean it?
[17:15] <bekks> kylescottmcgill: Wrong. HE needs to use sudo -i     --- sudo su is a bad idea
[17:15] <mario_7> TheLordOfTime, is it because of Ubuntu CD choosing to boot recovery partition insted of its own contents or rarther it's PC choice to boot revocery partition when it detects Ubuntu CD?
[17:15] <cuqa> or by  using wol by your router
[17:16] <LastRitesGames> hi, can anyone point me in the right direction for creating (for distributing) a package of software i wrote?
[17:16] <Ubiquity> cuqa: i have tried. I use WakeMeOnLan in Win7
[17:16] <kylescottmcgill> bekks: not if that user isnt root
[17:16] <Ubiquity> cuqa: the box is running ubuntu 12.04 server
[17:16] <cuqa> I think WOL does not have much things to do which os you use
[17:16] <kylescottmcgill> sudo -i will drop you into interactive sudo as root, sudo su will force you into that user
[17:17] <cuqa> u activated it in bios, right?
[17:17] <DarkPrince946> NXServer is disconnecting me with a Server configuration error, looking at the logs its getting a permission denied when it trys to create a directory.
[17:17] <DarkPrince946> I'm not quite sure what to do.
[17:17] <bekks> kylescottmcgill: without specifying a user, it will force you into the root user....
[17:17] <bekks> kylescottmcgill: So sudo .i is the better solution.
[17:17] <kylescottmcgill> bekks: the pastie has more info, he/she is adding a user, and trying to su into that user
[17:17] <kylescottmcgill> not root
[17:18] <Ubiquity> cuqa: i know. just giving as much info as possible. I'll try to wol from my router
[17:18] <mz`> explain diff between "sudo su - <user> -c [command]" and "sudo -i [command]"
[17:19] <kylescottmcgill> sudo -i is going to use sudo interactively, su is to become that user, sudo su, is going to force yourself into the user, so the end results are different
[17:19] <dartos> Can someone please tell me how to get X working on a netbook with Cedar Trail?
[17:19] <alhirzel> I need to edit a .glade file that targets GTK 2.16, how can I install a really old version of Glade?
[17:19] <MonkeyDust> mz`  #bash
[17:20] <bekks> dartos: Whats Cedar Trail?
[17:20] <dartos> bekks: chipset...
[17:20] <mz`> hahaaa
[17:20] <dartos> bekks: X won't start
[17:20] <auronandace> alhirzel: that would be problematic
[17:20] <dartos> It used to work but then NOPE
[17:20] <troop> while installing Tahoma i broke my ubuntu. now i cant login. actually login and logout same time and its not becoming only gdm. even console..
[17:20] <bekks> dartos: After youz changed what exactly?
[17:20] <troop> :)
[17:21] <dartos> bekks: the OS
[17:21] <dartos> bekks: from lubuntu 12.04 to fedora 17 and now back to lubuntu 12.04
[17:21] <dartos> and lubuntu no longer wants to startx
[17:21] <dartos> so it's a fresh install
[17:21] <bekks> dartos: So basically you have an Intel Atom with an integrated graphics chipset.
[17:21] <kylescottmcgill> troop: try jumping into TTY1 (ALT + CTRL + F1) login, and sudo service gdm restart
[17:22] <dartos> bekks: yeah my laptop is gateway lt4004u
[17:22] <kylescottmcgill> troop: or lightdm, which ever one your using
[17:22] <troop> kylescottmcgill,  as i said i cant login on tty too
[17:22] <mz`> missing devices in /dev
[17:22] <bekks> troop: did you set a password for that user?
[17:22] <mz`> use a live cd and chroot in your system disk, then debug
[17:22] <troop> yes bekks my identically user.
[17:24] <dartos> Does anyone know.. this is kind of urgent
[17:24] <troop> i ran this script and restart pc http://paste.org/59748
[17:24] <alhirzel> auronandace: I agree. I am finding a sufficiently old .deb and I am gonna try to force it.
[17:24] <troop> and now i cant login even on tty
[17:24] <cuqa> do you see bootloader?
[17:25] <auronandace> alhirzel: you will likely break something
[17:25] <dartos> dammt
[17:25] <troop> cuqa, me?
[17:25] <cuqa> yes
[17:25] <roadfish> want to drop reserved-blocks-percentage on ext4 from 5% to 1%. is a 3TB hdd holding large, static video files. is 1% a safe value? will I get bad behavior if I drop to 1%
[17:25] <alhirzel> auronandace: yep, I sure wish this project would just upgrade their files! =]
[17:25] <bekks> troop: Did you boot a live cd and checked wether you have a full disk?
[17:25] <troop> i can see everything.  i can see gdm login screen look im trying to telling you. ubuntu login normally but logout at the sametime.
[17:26] <troop> bekks no: fresh install on 250gb now im writing in live cd
[17:26] <troop> im saying my problem started with that script
[17:26] <blaz_> hi.... when i try ''vconfig add eth0 2''     i get    ''WARNING:  Could not open /proc/net/vlan/config.  Maybe you need to load the 8021q module, or maybe you are not using PROCFS??ERROR: trying to add VLAN #2 to IF -:eth0:-  error: Operation not permitted''
[17:26] <kylescottmcgill> troop: you tried a reboot i take it?
[17:26] <alhirzel> auronandace: hold the phone, i think glade-gtk2 will work. False alarm then!
[17:26] <troop> i tried tty too. writing my username and pass it welcomes me but logout at the sametime
[17:27] <troop> kylescottmcgill, yes
[17:27] <kylescottmcgill> nothing in that script looks wrong :s
[17:27] <troop> before this script i had installed mscorefonts
[17:28] <troop> i think there is a serious bug. because i cant login
[17:28] <jhutchins_wk> troop: Can you log in on a console?
[17:28] <troop> i cant login from anywhere
[17:28] <blaz_> anyone
[17:28] <troop> jhutchins_wk,  no
[17:28] <kylescottmcgill> blaz_: try with sudo
[17:28] <troop> it log me in then logout again
[17:29] <ma_> hello everyone :)
[17:29] <cuqa> have you tried different users troop?
[17:29] <kylescottmcgill> troop: if you cant login via the console, you will need to chroot, and check your profile or something
[17:29] <troop> yes
[17:29] <troop> i tried guest user
[17:29] <jhutchins_wk> troop: Is there more than one user on the system?
[17:29] <ma_> here comes the newbie who asks about every thing :D
[17:29] <blaz_> kylescottmcgill: so stupid of me :D... thanx... it works man :D:D

[17:30] <troop> no jhutchins_wk  only my user and guest user which automatically created.
[17:30] <troop> how will i do kylescottmcgill  ?
[17:30] <Devilbird> Guys, i installed ubuntu with the windows installer, but when i restart i get the following message: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x7c78tb7jpyzwh9/2013-01-06%2018.23.08.jpg (dutch) i tried installing again but it does not help
[17:30] <jhutchins_wk> troop: Can you log in as the guest user?
[17:30] <troop> now i reach my system files
[17:30] <troop> jhutchins_wk, i cant login anykind
[17:31] <kylescottmcgill> troop: what do you mean you reached your system files? are in a livecd?
[17:31] <troop> yes im in a livecd
[17:31] <kylescottmcgill> troop: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery <-- everything you would need is here if you can get to it
[17:32] <troop> i installed 12.10 then updated then installed infinality then installed mscorefonts then installed this script and boom.
[17:32] <troop> okay im reading kylescottmcgill
[17:32] <kylescottmcgill> you should just be able to sudo chroot /mnt
[17:32] <kylescottmcgill> after mounting it sorry
[17:33] <jhutchins_wk> troop: Take a look at the logfiles, I'm betting they'll have a font error.
[17:33] <Zaki-Sama> Hi
[17:33] <troop> jhutchins_wk,  where are logfiles?
[17:33] <kylescottmcgill> /var/log
[17:33] <k1l> !guidelines > mariorgrossi
[17:33] <troop> ok im looking
[17:33] <bekks> jhutchins_wk: Which is irrelevant when being unable to ven log in on a TTY.
[17:34] <jhutchins_wk> troop: The fastest way to recover at this point would probably be to reinstall.
[17:34] <troop> reinstall ubuntu ?
[17:34] <bhavesh> I always get http://i.imgur.com/c4eDq.png  when I start empathy, any solution?
[17:34] <kylescottmcgill> bekks: it might have updated the alternatives and is trying to use one of those when he logins in via console, maybe... idk
[17:34] <jhutchins_wk> troop: Since you don't have any investment of time on the current setup, yes.
[17:34] <kylescottmcgill> oone of those fonts
[17:35] <jhutchins_wk> It could have broken the default font.
[17:35] <troop> Tahoma?
[17:35] <Zaki-Sama> Can i ask you something about the "Ubuntu for MOBILE" or should i go to a specific room ?
[17:35] <bekks> kylescottmcgill: On a regular tty, there are no different fonts, especially not ttf fonts like the ones that where installed.
[17:35] <jhutchins_wk> troop: That's why I suggest looking a the log files.
[17:35] <xangua> !phone | Zaki-Sama
[17:35] <MonkeyDust> Zaki-Sama  #ubuntu-phone
[17:35] <jhutchins_wk> bekks: Don't be too sure of that.
[17:35] <troop> a lot of log files here
[17:35] <bhavesh> I also checked "remember this choice for future connections" but still I get same thing
[17:35] <bekks> jhutchins_wk: I am 1000% sure about that.
[17:36] <troop> boot.log bootstrap.log dpkg.log kern.log fontconfig.log etc....
[17:36] <jhutchins_wk> bekks: framebuffer.
[17:36] <troop> i will install again :D
[17:36] <bekks> jhutchins_wk: Which is not in use by default on a tty-.
[17:36] <Zaki-Sama> xangua: MonkeyDust: thank you !!
[17:36] <nullby7e> how to run virtualbox needs some modules?
[17:36] <jhutchins_wk> bekks: My uncle is the guy who developed the code to do text on a CRT.
[17:37] <bekks> jhutchins_wk: Thats pretty cool for you, but still does not affect what I said above.
[17:37] <kylescottmcgill> lol

[17:39] <alienaut> i feel my ubuntu 12.10 a bit slow is it because it is not LTS ?
[17:39] <bekks> alienaut: No.
[17:39] <troop> alienaut: sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping
[17:40] <alienaut> oh!
[17:40] <SnowmanX11> alienaut: no. It should be someting else
[17:40] <jallmorg> Can anyone help me with some problems with unity/compiz and opening the Dash?
[17:40] <jhutchins_wk> bekks: Just explaining that I have an understanding of the evolution of on-screen fonts from things generated in firmware to modern software fonts - yes, on consoles.
[17:40] <kylescottmcgill> troop: ok i guess you have two choices, you can reinstall, or you can debug this... we might not win though
[17:40] <troop> i will reinstall
[17:40] <jhutchins_wk> bekks: The display you see on a modern PC console no longer comes from hardware on the graphics card.
[17:40] <kylescottmcgill> troop: :)
[17:40] <SnowmanX11> alienaut: use top or install htop and use them in the terminal to examine, which process slow down your machine
[17:40] <troop> i cant spend time.
[17:40] <bekks> jhutchins_wk: And still: Unless manually having configured a framebuffer, there is no framebuffer in use which would be able to render TTF fonts.
[17:41] <Ubiquity> cuqa: btw, thank you. I forgot to add a character to my /etc/network/interfaces lol
[17:41] <troop> and now im clicking to glory button :D
[17:41] <Ubiquity> i've been screwing with this system for 4 days
[17:41] <kylescottmcgill> jhutchins_wk: bekks im going to try this out by manually setfont inside a tty... brb
[17:41] <jallmorg> Ubuntu 12.04.1 When I open dash it runs slow and uses 100% of my GPU
[17:41] <Ubiquity> over 12 hours yesterday alone
[17:41] <myhe> hello
[17:41] <kylescottmcgill> i just need to find a ttf font
[17:42] <troop> anyone use Tahoma?
[17:42] <Ubiquity> and it's finally right...where...i...want...it
[17:42] <alienaut> i removed shop app and my unity looks like ok now
[17:42] <DarkPrince946> http://pastebin.com/DGaxL0kE Thats the errors I'm getting
[17:42] <mariorgrossi> algum brasileiro?
[17:42] <troop> alienaut, fine
[17:42] <MonkeyDust> !pt
[17:42] <alienaut> SnowmanX11,  top is an application?
[17:42] <myhe> can someone help me with xen installation?  I did go step by step with this wiki page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen but when i check if it did install i get ERROR:  Can't find hypervisor information in sysfs!
[17:42] <mariorgrossi> valeu
[17:43] <MonkeyDust> myhe  ubuntu server?
[17:43] <myhe> no
[17:43] <myhe> desktop
[17:43] <troop> alienaut,  top shows you system resources i think task manager in console
[17:43] <kylescottmcgill> DarkPrince946: whats NZ Server?
[17:43] <kylescottmcgill> NZ**
[17:43] <kylescottmcgill> NX*****
[17:43] <DarkPrince946> NX?
[17:44] <kylescottmcgill> NXSERVER
[17:44] <myhe> the hypervisor is installed
[17:44] <DarkPrince946> Its a remote desktop tool I believe.
[17:44] <kylescottmcgill> ya in your log file
[17:44] <myhe> but it says its not running
[17:44] <myhe> as above
[17:45] <kylescottmcgill> DarkPrince946: are you doing anything special? like logging in? or remote D on to another machine or something
[17:45] <myhe> so any ideas?
[17:46] <DarkPrince946> Its a VPS, the program I need to use is GUI only.
[17:46] <troop> i want Tahoma
[17:46] <kylescottmcgill> myhe: do you have the hyper-visor running?
[17:46] <myhe> are the grub modify and toolstack commands on that site ?
[17:46] <troop> infinality windows7 setup and Tahoma
[17:47] <myhe> when i check it seems not
[17:47] <kylescottmcgill> DarkPrince946: ok, thats not going to really wont, you need to install Xserver and a bunch of other stuff
[17:47] <kylescottmcgill> work**
[17:47] <MonkeyDust> myhe  i guess xen is server technology, maybe you need other server services installed
[17:47] <alienaut> how can i understand if my graphic driver properly installed
[17:47] <DarkPrince946> What other stuff.
[17:47] <DarkPrince946> If you can give me a link that would help.
[17:48] <myhe> well im noob when it comes to linux and xen
[17:48] <myhe> when i check with sudo xm list it says he cant find it
[17:48] <MonkeyDust> myhe  start with the basics, xen is advanced
[17:48] <devlos> troop: here this might work http://panic83.livejournal.com/19679.html -but idk i havnt tried... a little google goes a long way tho
[17:48] <kylescottmcgill> DarkPrince946: Xorg, X11, ummm... i will see if can find a tutorial on setting ubuntu up as a RDP service, also are you sure you want to do this? it will have a significant impact on your server
[17:48] <mariorgrossi> There is a version of aptana studio 3 for ubuntu?
[17:48] <myhe> but when i try to install it again it says its installed
[17:48] <myhe> also i did not get any errors when changing grub
[17:49] <myhe> and toolstack
[17:49] <DarkPrince946> You sure that nx server isn't the right thing?
[17:49] <MonkeyDust> myhe  why do you need xen, if you're a beginner?
[17:50] <myhe> want to learn it
[17:50] <linocisco> what is the best opensource software like AutoCAD?
[17:50] <kylescottmcgill> DarkPrince946: if this is a VPS, then it wont have Xorg installed, VPS normally have ssh access not RDP, this is an assumption, but installing a GUI on to a VPS isnt going to work right off the bat
[17:50] <ikonia> learn it when you have experience
[17:50] <Ronalds_M> hi, I have old PC 2,2 GHz AMD Athlon and I tried using lubuntu on it, but flash clearly doesn't works, is there any way to make linux usable on it?
[17:50] <linocisco> I would like to use it on Windows like QGIS which is powerful , opensource and can be installed on windows
[17:50] <myhe> sigh if you dont want to help please dont talk thank you
[17:50] <jhutchins_wk> bekks: Anyway, it looks like it's moot, but it is possible to screw up a non-fb console by messing with the system fonts.
[17:50] <myhe> i jsut need help with installing it and running thats all
[17:51] <kylescottmcgill> DarkPrince946: could you RDP on to your server before installing this application?
[17:51] <myhe> just*
[17:51] <greyduck> hello everyone
[17:51] <ikonia> myhe: so basically you need help with all of it then
[17:51] <myhe> no
[17:51] <DarkPrince946> I could.
[17:51] <myhe> its first time i have problem installing xen in linux
[17:51] <ikonia> myhe: installing it and running it is %99 of xen
[17:51] <devlos> Ronalds_M,  xubuntu works on more of my old machines than lubuntu.
[17:51] <myhe> on fedora its painless
[17:51] <BluesKaj> Ronalds_M, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:51] <myhe> but i want it in ubuntu
[17:51] <kylescottmcgill> DarkPrince946: what is the software you tried to install?
[17:51] <jhutchins_wk> bekks: Also, I have seen installations where the consoles DO default to framebuffer, with screens byond 40x80 and often graphical overlay.  If you don't see the boot messages, chances are this is the case.
[17:52] <DarkPrince946> nomachine
[17:52] <ikonia> myhe: so what's the problem ?
[17:52] <myhe> that it seems that its not running
[17:52] <Ronalds_M> I tried installing all kind of extras, it doesn't works, right now I have gnash but it's so slow
[17:52] <myhe> even if i did go with how to
[17:52] <ikonia> myhe: that's not really a good description
[17:52] <myhe> i did write what problem it is some time ago but wait ill do it again
[17:53] <Ronalds_M> my old PC has 700 mb of RAM, and nvidia 128 mb old one
[17:53] <myhe> so i did try to install xen on ubuntu from this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen should be easy peasy but something is wrong
[17:53] <myhe> i did install hypervisor
[17:53] <jhutchins_wk> Ronalds_M: Um, I don't understand how flash not working (normal) is a problem with the OS.\
[17:53] <myhe> i did change grub etc
[17:53] <myhe> rebooted pc
[17:53] <linocisco> what is the powerful opensource alternative to AutoCAD software?
[17:53] <myhe> then when i check if it works it says ERROR:  Can't find hypervisor information in sysfs!
[17:54] <myhe> that the problem
[17:54] <ikonia> so it's not booted the xen kernel then
[17:54] <ikonia> and the hypervisor isn't running
[17:54] <myhe> any idea how to fix that then?
[17:54] <ikonia> well, look at the kernel and look at the xen process list and see what's missing
[17:54] <jhutchins_wk> Ronalds_M: Whether gnash works depends mostly on what flash you're trying to display, most of what's on the 'net won't work.
[17:54] <kylescottmcgill> DarkPrince946: was there a guide you followed? that looks a little out of the box, i have never done anything like that, but basically your error messages are saying i cant start (respectively
[17:54] <myhe> i did figure that out thats why i did ask if the command on that site are correct for grub
[17:54] <daniel_> do i need to format my hard drive before setting up my server with it
[17:54] <jhutchins_wk> Ronalds_M: Did you try flash from adobe?
[17:54] <Ronalds_M> I have CD/RW disk, when I putted lubuntu on it, and tried to install, it took down windows xp in partitioning, so I installed Ubuntu, installed lubuntu packages and removed Ubuntu stuff
[17:54] <BluesKaj> Ronalds_M, ubuntu-restricted-extras isn't all kinds of extras , it contains what you need to play flash content
[17:55] <ikonia> myhe: sorry what ?
[17:55] <DarkPrince946> Not really, I just install the .deb's
[17:55] <Ronalds_M> so my linux is a mess now
[17:55] <BluesKaj> just install ir Ronalds_M
[17:55] <BluesKaj> it
[17:56] <myhe> in other way is this correct? sudo sed -i 's/GRUB_DEFAULT=.*\+/GRUB_DEFAULT="Xen 4.1-amd64"/' /etc/default/grub and sudo sed -i 's/TOOLSTACK=.*\+/TOOLSTACK="xm"/' /etc/default/xen
[17:56] <Ronalds_M> I installed restricted extras
[17:56] <Ronalds_M> nothing happens
[17:56] <Ronalds_M> flash doesn't work even on chrome
[17:56] <Ronalds_M> or chromiom
[17:56] <kylescottmcgill> DarkPrince946: follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NomachineNX
[17:56] <Ozzy> anybody knows how to deploy a qt creator project with a Ubuntu QML toolkit?
[17:57] <daniel_> Eclipse
[17:57] <abc-DE> at first sorry for my bad english. but i have a big problem. When I scan for channels in Kaffeine there are only channels in HD. What can I do that I can use channels wich are not in HD. I use DVB-S.
[17:57] <greyduck> thanks for the welcome folks, i'm orf
[17:58] <SnowmanX11> alienaut: top is a command in the terminal
[17:58] <maksim> hi, can someone help me with sound issue? I have Linux Mint 14 Mate for about a month or so and today sound started to glitch. I can't play mp3 file with Banshee, GnomeMPlayer, Rhytmbox and Audacity. it sounds like this 'h-h-h-h-h-h-e-e-e-e-e-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-o-o-o-o-o'. it repeats small sound chunks several times and moves on. I've tried 'pulseaudio -k' but without any luck. 'mv .pulse pulse_old' helped in some way, now sound works ok, but only for Banshee,
[17:58] <maksim>  GnomeMPlayer and Rhytmbox. but not for Audacity, the thing is I need especially Audacity. can anyone help me with this?
[17:59] <Ronalds_M> installing linux with cd/rw is alright?
[17:59] <lhavelund> !mint | maksim
[17:59] <troop> which nvidia driver do you recommend ?
[18:00] <lhavelund> maksim: they wlil be a lot more knowledable about the in-depth workings of mint.
[18:00] <maksim> I know this is ubuntu channel, but on linuxmint-help channel there is no support for this issue, as far as on #alsa and #pulseaudio
[18:00] <DarkPrince946> Still no worky.
[18:00] <jhutchins_wk> Rondom: That's how it's usually done.
[18:00] <SnowmanX11> alienaut: just type to the command line: 'top' and you will get a monitoring tool, which shows the usage of memory/processor and monitoring online. Push CTRL+C to abort
[18:00] <Ubiquity> i'm trying to setup a static ip address, but I don't know what my "address netmask network broadcast gateway" values should be in /etc/network/interfaces
[18:00] <jhutchins_wk> Rondom: N'mind, missing nic.
[18:00] <troop> restarting
[18:00] <alienaut> SnowmanX11, thanks!
[18:00] <lhavelund> maksim: Those are the only three channels I could suggest being helpful, I'm afraid. If #linuxmint-help isn't helpful, and the upstream channels (#alsa, #pulseaudio) aren't useful either, you seem to be on your own. :(
[18:01] <Ubiquity> how can I find out what my "address netmask network broadcast gateway " values should be
[18:01] <greyduck> hi
[18:01] <ikonia> Ubiquity: ask your network administrator
[18:01] <Ubiquity> for configuring a static ip
[18:01] <SnowmanX11> alienaut: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/top.1.html
[18:01] <SnowmanX11> alienaut: your welcome
[18:02] <Ubiquity> ikonia: i am the network administrator. I'm jumping in head first and configuring my first server. This is the second to last hurdle
[18:02] <jhutchins_wk> Ubiquity: Do you have a working windows system?
[18:02] <Ubiquity> am on it right now
[18:02] <ikonia> Ubiquity: if you are the network administraot, you should know what your gateway device is, and what you network address ranges are
[18:02] <ikonia> Ubiquity: this is a basic requirement of running a network
[18:03] <devlos> Ubiquity,  try route -n
[18:03] <jhutchins_wk> Ubiquity: ipconfig /all should show you most of the required settings.  If you are behind a router that is doing DHCP you should be able to just tell the linux system "use dhcp".
[18:03] <jhutchins_wk> Ubiquity: If you're getting your current config from your ISP that should work as well.
[18:03] <devlos> route -n will show gateway
[18:04] <DarkPrince946> Same error
[18:04] <Ubiquity> jhutchins_wk: see, i don't want to use dhcp for this server if i can help it. I'm trying to run WOL and I've configured it to run remotely
[18:04] <jhutchins_wk> DarkPrince946: As what?
[18:04] <alienaut> compiz is using %4.6 of memory is that normal?
[18:04] <compdoc> maksim, that happened to me and it turned out a usb device was causing it. But other hardware issues can cause it too. You have many usb devices, or have you added any devices to your system recently?
[18:04] <Ubiquity> jhutchins_wk: thank you for the ipconfig help
[18:04] <jhutchins_wk> Ubiquity: How are addresses on your network assigned now?  By a router?
[18:04] <DarkPrince946> jhutchins_wk: http://pastebin.com/DGaxL0kE
[18:05] <jhutchins_wk> Ubiquity: It's usually a good idea for routers to be static, but you can also lock an addres to a MAC in dhcp.
[18:05] <compdoc>  maksim, btw, there is a bug in some kernel versions dealing with pulseaudio
[18:05] <maksim> I have only one usb device - mouse
[18:05] <Ubiquity> jhutchins_wk: addresses are assigned by dhcp
[18:06] <maksim> and there wasn't a problem with it for last 5 years :)
[18:06] <nemos> I need help. What bios settins need to be set in order to try the linux livecd? I tried both ubuntu and centos and i get a freeze at the login screen, the keyboard and mouse clicks doesnt work. The graphics dies or something.
[18:06] <greyduck> where's the best room for a noob?
[18:06] <Ubiquity> jhutchins_wk: i assume that's what you mean
[18:06] <Ubiquity> greyduck: a padded room far far away from here. just kidding
[18:07] <Ubiquity> greyduck: have you looked at the documentation for whatever ails you?
[18:07] <greyduck> cheers!
[18:07] <jhutchins_wk> Ubiquity: So either set the dhcp server to assign a consistent address to that mac, or choose an unused address in the proper range, put it in a static config, and make sure you reserve that address on the dhcp server so it won't be assigned.
[18:07] <greyduck> duck fever
[18:07] <jhutchins_wk> greyduck: This one's not too bad.  Got a question?
[18:07] <MonkeyDust> greyduck  ask your question and see if someone can help
[18:08] <Ubiquity> jhutchins_wk: i think i'll set my dhcp server to assign a consistent address. That sounds like it will solve two problems
[18:11] <burdickjp> Is there a gnu units lens for unity?
[18:13] <jhutchins_wk> Ubiquity: Believe me, I remember how frustrating it was when documentation said "ask your network administrator".  No I am one for real.
[18:13] <jhutchins_wk> s/No/Now.
[18:14] <Ubiquity> jhutchins_wk: it's also frustrating when people tell you you're supposed to know this stuff and you're just starting out
[18:14] <bogor> I am working on command line. How do i get to play mplayer in backgound. I am trying to listen to mp3 song while working.
[18:15] <Ubiquity> jhutchins_wk: like it's an 'exclusive club and no girls/people that don't know things are allowed'
[18:15] <Ubiquity> jhutchins_wk: you have been very helpful
[18:15] <bogor> using "mplayer fn.mp3 &" doesn;t work
[18:15] <Ubiquity> jhutchins_wk: thank you very very much
[18:15] <jhutchins_wk> Ubiquity: Hey, just paying forward the help I got.
[18:16] <Ubiquity> i'll have to do that one day
[18:17] <F3Speech> Anyone any ideas how to fix "CIFS VFS: Unexpected lookup error -112", happens after about 1-2 hours inactivity. Running server install 12.04 thinking it might be something to do with the servers power managment, just because it only happens after a large idle time?
[18:19] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: What's serving the cifs share?
[18:19] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: If it's server grade hardware, it's more likely an issue on the client, but I would guess network hardware somewhere in the link.
[18:21] <F3Speech> jhutchins_wk: buffalo nas is serving share
[18:22] <F3Speech> jhutchins_wk: and server hardware is old q6600
[18:22] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: Any outstanding software/firmware updates?
[18:23] <F3Speech> jhutchins_wk: server is using a tp-link wifi usb adaptor
[18:23] <F3Speech> jhutchins_wk: nafaif
[18:23] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: wifi will do that.
[18:23] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: THere's no way you can completely eliminate that kind of error with that kind of setup.
[18:23] <F3Speech> jhutchins_wk: why is it only after a long idle it happens?
[18:24] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: Traffic helps keep the links active.  They're more likely to drop when idle.
[18:24] <F3Speech> jhutchins_wk: i thought is might be acpi related, powersaving on the usb or something
[18:24] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: It's more the sensitivity of cifs to minor network errors.
[18:24] <F3Speech> jhut the server is processing all the time the network link should be idle that long tbh
[18:25] <F3Speech> shouldn't*
[18:25] <F3Speech> think i should maybe try with smb?
[18:25]  * SnowmanX11 is away: I'm busy.../Elfoglalt vagyok, ne zavarj!
[18:26] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: if the share _is_ idle periodically it's a good idea to set it up with autofs so that it brings up a new connection whenever it's needed.
[18:26] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: No significant difference.
[18:26] <F3Speech> jhutchins_wk: im still thinking its a power managment issue rather than protocol but atm i dont really 'know' anything :)
[18:26] <MonkeyDust> !away | SnowmanX11
[18:26]  * SnowmanX11 is back (gone 00:00:39)
[18:26] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: If it were a power management issue, other connections would be affected.
[18:27] <F3Speech> jhutchins_wk: the whole server hangs, all the web services and python i have running lose network connection
[18:28] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: Ok, that's not what you origianlly reported.
[18:29] <F3Speech> jhutchins_wk:  sorry let me be clear, when i say hangs it is still responding to a degree as it reports errors to screen, but refuses any network connections
[18:29] <cornfeed> good morning...I am trying to acpid to work with  my toshiba and i am about at my wits end...I have tried everything....I have a toshiba portege r835-p81 (laptop). I have acpid running and I can use acpi_listen to see that is catching events like changing screen brightness, but it doesn't *actually* do anything. I looked into fnfxd which is custom tailored to toshiba laptops but I cant find anything about its implimentation. has anyone worked with
[18:29] <cornfeed>  toshiba laptops and acpid??
[18:29] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: dmesg or hald logs would be whre to look.
[18:29] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: I would still say hardware is the most likely issue.
[18:29] <cornfeed> F3Speech: try a boot flag of acpi=off
[18:29] <cornfeed> F3Speech: i had the same issues...drove me nuts for a month
[18:30] <F3Speech> cornfeed: i did read that few hours ago
[18:30] <F3Speech> cornfeed: tried it and my usb wifi wouldnt connect
[18:30] <cornfeed> damn
[18:31] <jhutchins_wk> F3Speech: What are the chances of getting an actual internal wifi card, or going to wired?
[18:31] <F3Speech> i want to find where the server sets stuff like blank screen and any idle conditions try turn them off
[18:32] <F3Speech> jhutchins_wk: none really... well actuall guess now its setup i could move it
[18:32] <cornfeed> F3Speech: hmmm you could try killing acpid
[18:33] <fego> hi all, any idea in which package i can find the "helvetica-medium" font?
[18:33] <F3Speech> jhutchins_wk: it has a internal card, i dont dont have the  cable available at my desk
[18:33] <F3Speech> jhutchins_wk: and i think my router is full, if i remember i think thats why i went wifi
[18:33] <F3Speech> jhut i guess i could give the server my lan cable and ill take the wifi lol
[18:34] <F3Speech> cornfeed: how would i do that
[18:34] <cornfeed> F3Speech: sudo service acpid stop (i think, i only use ubuntu in a few offices)
[18:34] <cornfeed> pretty sure though
[18:35] <cornfeed> then use "pidof acpid" to make sure
[18:35] <F3Speech> it seemed to stop ok
[18:36] <F3Speech> i dont have pidof installed
[18:36] <kelvinella> hi, can ubuntu be installed in macbook pro or macbook air?
[18:36] <F3Speech> network is still up so that a bonus
[18:36] <cornfeed> kelvinella: yes
[18:36] <MonkeyDust> !mac | kelvinella start here
[18:36] <kelvinella> because i am thinking to buy a laptop
[18:36] <Muphrid> fego: if helvetica is not free software then it isnt in any package, you have to download it manually
[18:36] <F3Speech> cornfeed: ill leave it alone see what happens
[18:36] <cornfeed> kelvinella: but from what I hear, its a pain
[18:37] <kelvinella> how painful?
[18:37] <stercor> How do I fix :connect to host xxxxxxxx port 22: No route to host?
[18:37] <MonkeyDust> stercor  install openssh-server and/or openssh-client
[18:37] <devlos> stercor ssh??
[18:37] <kelvinella> which brand has the same laptop quality like the apple?
[18:38] <stercor> I wish to scp. It worked last night.
[18:38] <MonkeyDust> stercor  scp uses ssh too
[18:38] <kelvinella> i am thinking to get asus or thinkpad, but thinkpad is too ugly
[18:38] <devlos> asus
[18:38] <kelvinella> asus has so many model, dont know which one to choose from
[18:38] <F3Speech> kelvinella: i like asus
[18:38] <d1zzy> hi, this may e an FAQ although I'm unable to find an answer on the internet. I'm using 12.04, clean, no unstable packages, and I can't install all the deps needed by the steam beta client. I successfully installed ia32-libs but currently I'm unable to install zenity:i386
[18:39] <fego> hi all, any idea in which package i can find the "helvetica-medium" font?
[18:39] <d1zzy> its zenity-common:i386 for example can't be found by apt-get install for some reason
[18:39] <kelvinella> i dont know why asus has like 30 different models on their site
[18:40] <sonik> having problems disabling Ctrl to show mouse option, it's not in the "Mouse Settings" window on 12.10?
[18:40] <F3Speech> d1zzy : the package name is prob just zenity-common?
[18:40] <stercor> openssh-server and openssh-client are at newest versions at both ends
[18:41] <d1zzy> zenity-common works (it installs the amd64 version), but zenity-common:i386 doesn't (it's needed by zenity:i386 which is needed by the steam beta client)
[18:41] <MonkeyDust> stercor  then maybe it's blocked by iptables?
[18:41] <F3Speech> d1zzy: you have 64bit install?
[18:41] <d1zzy> yes
[18:41] <devlos> stector does the machine you are connecting to have them installes
[18:41] <stercor> It worked last night.
[18:41] <F3Speech> d1zzy: you might just have to add the 32bit repos then
[18:41] <stercor> devlos: latest versions
[18:42] <d1zzy> F3Speech: I think it should be part of the main repos already, as I was able to install many :i386 packages already with ia32-libs
[18:42] <d1zzy> F3Speech: are there any other repos to add?
[18:42] <stercor> MonkeyDust: it worked last night.  That's the reason I'm stumped... :-(
[18:42] <F3Speech> d1zzy: lemmi have a lookas i was planning to install this myself soon
[18:43] <d1zzy> thanks
[18:43] <MonkeyDust> stercor  i had that too, with my headless remote PC - restart of that PC was required, never solved the issue
[18:43] <d1zzy> I can find zenity-common:i386 in 12.04 on packages.ubuntu.com, not sure why it's not available with apt-get
[18:43] <F3Speech> d1zzy: is there a tutioral your following?
[18:44] <d1zzy> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve
[18:44] <ofcan> how can I view command line history from a certain date?
[18:44] <d1zzy> lots of unsatisfied :i386 deps when you dpkg -i steam_latest.deb and I resolved most of them with apt-get install ia32-libs
[18:45] <F3Speech> d1zzy: this video tutorial is 2 days old might be worth a look http://revision3.com/osalt/install-steam-linux
[18:45] <milamber> stercor: are you trying to reach the same box from the same location? (i.e. at home, laptop to server)?
[18:46] <stercor> milamber: yes.  Netbook to desktop.  /etc/hosts has both machines.
[18:47] <stercor> MonkeyDust: did the restart work?
[18:47] <milamber> stercor: can you ping your local router from the netbook? and have you restarted the server at all?
[18:48] <MonkeyDust> stercor  yes, but i found no way to prevent it
[18:48] <stercor> milamber: I can ping the router.  It looks like a restart might help.
[18:48]  * stercor goes to restart both machines.  brb
[18:48] <MonkeyDust> stercor  mind: the remote pc had debian running on it
[18:49] <milamber> stercor: you shouldn't have to
[18:49] <Eagleman> Where do you suggest placing important key and crt files for for example openvpn and apache2 ssl ??
[18:49] <milamber> stercor: have you verified the ip of the server?
[18:49] <d1zzy> F3Speech: is there a way to get a complete list of all packages (and their architectures) for the "main", "restricted", "universe", "multiverse" repos?
[18:50] <stercor> milamber: OK. Where to from here.  I'm on 12.10 and it reports internal errors.  That recommends a restart.
[18:50] <stercor> milamber: Yes, the addresses are good.  I even tried the IP addresses.
[18:50] <F3Speech> d1zzy: yes, where is is... maybe one of the more experianced members can remember
[18:51] <milamber> stercor: we'll need more details then, from what i gather you are trying to scp from a netbook to a home server behind a residential/home router/firewall and getting the error 'no route to host'    what are the internal errors you are talking about?
[18:51] <Eagleman> Where do you suggest placing important key and crt files for for example openvpn and apache2 ssl, currently i have them in each applications /etc/ folder but since they are also backupped by rsnapshot and then copied to a windows disk in a rar file, the key and crt files are accessible, which is not so secure
[18:51] <stercor> milamber: unrelated...
[18:52] <F3Speech> d1zzy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/ here looks like a good start though
[18:53] <milamber> stercor: if you think you need to restart go ahead and do that
[18:53] <d1zzy> n
[18:53] <stercor> milamber: that seems heavy-handed, but it's the only option I see...
[18:54] <StormKing> hello all
[18:54] <StormKing> :)
[18:54] <milamber> stercor: what router is it and what command are you issuing (you can obviously remove specific ips)
[18:55] <StormKing> all
[18:55] <StormKing> u here guys
[18:55] <StormKing> ?
[18:55] <Greg8823> hello

[18:59] <Andy80> does anyone know how to fix Spotify crashing under Ubuntu? I've explained my problem here in this comment http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/01/spotify-update-brings-linux-users-new-features-first#comment-757912503 thanks!
[19:00] <cub> why does linux sukk
[19:00] <cub> nothing works
[19:01] <Greg8823> Hello i am looking for some help i getting my sound up and running. I am running 12.04 that s fully updated. Nothing is muted and i am using a pair of headphones that have been confirmed working, any help would be appreciated.
[19:02] <Muphrid> Greg8823: what is the output of aplay -l ?
[19:02] <revickulous2001> cub: user error
[19:02] <ofcan> how can I view command line history from a certain date?
[19:03] <milamber> ofcan: not possible as far as i know, but all commands each user enters should be logged in their home directory in a "hidden" file .bash_history
[19:03] <Greg8823> Muphrid: a list of playback hardware devices
[19:04] <atlef> ofcan, have you set HISTTIMEFORMAT
[19:04] <Muphrid> Greg8823: do you have a different playback defaulted? like hdmi or s/pdif instead of analog?
[19:04] <atlef> if not i do not think it is possible
[19:04] <ofcan> atlef: nope
[19:05] <devlos> is opera not available in ubuntu??? not in repo?
[19:05] <Greg8823> Muphrid: no, not that i know of
[19:05] <yeats> devlos: not open source, so not included, no
[19:06] <yeats> devlos: see this http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/841/
[19:06] <devlos> oh. i like it though it is good>
[19:07] <cub> i upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 and now my display is messed up, how do i fix it
[19:07] <Greg8823> Muphrid: aplay does show a card 0. but it shows it twice and says one is analog (device 0) and digital (device 1)
[19:07] <devlos> great thanks yeats, thats what i was looking for>
[19:08] <Muphrid> Greg8823: which one is selected on sound settings? did sound work before and not anymore, or never worked?
[19:08] <Greg8823> Muphrid: no, it has never worked
[19:09] <Muphrid> Greg8823: what is your headphone model?
[19:09] <nicholas> have a question?
[19:09] <nicholas> what is the key for moving close button to left in gnome classic
[19:09] <DominikST95> hey folks, I have a strange bug in Skype...if I try to play sound through my speakers, it starts to cackle extremly...Any help(I guess it has something to do with pulseaudio)
[19:10] <Church> nicholas: imho it depends if you really have gnome classic or gnome fallback option
[19:10] <Greg8823> Muphrid: Digital is selected in sound settings and im using a pair of saitek GH30 headphones to test
[19:11] <Church> nicholas: as in in first case it might be somewhere in metacity options in control panel IIRC, in second .. maybe some gconf/dconf settings
[19:11] <nicholas> how do i find the difference. i did "apt-get install gnome-shell" and then gnome classic
[19:11] <Muphrid> Greg8823: you should select analog if you are connected to a headphone jack, digital is for hdmi or spdif
[19:11] <aberrant> hi all
[19:12] <DominikST95> hi
[19:12] <aberrant> where can I find instructions on how to upgrade a server from 10.04 to 12.10?
[19:12] <bekks> aberrant: You have to upgrade to 12.04 first, then to 12.10 - usually, on a server, you want to stay on LTS, aka 12.04
[19:12] <yeats> !upgrade | aberrant
[19:12] <aberrant> gotcha. Thank you.
[19:13] <mrg_> ok  i have a slight issue at mo, i followed this guide https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx and now my ubuntu loads to black screen (i have tried ctrl+shift+f1 to get console with no luck
[19:13] <kylescottmcgill> How do you install Ubuntu using the text based installer? According to Google, Ubuntu dropped support for the Alternate CD's for 12.10
[19:13] <Church> nicholas: try running gconf-editor, there key /apps/metacity/general/button_layout
[19:13] <Greg8823> Muphrid: i did and i tried both headphone jacks still neither works
[19:13] <aberrant> so I have to go 10.04 -> 11.04 -> 12.04 -> 12.10?
[19:13] <MonkeyDust> !text | kylescottmcgill
[19:13] <mrg_> i tried root recovery terminal and to delete xconf ....but no file like that exists
[19:13] <Muphrid> Greg8823: what do you mean "both" jacks?
[19:13] <bekks> aberrant: No. 10.04 -> 12.04 as I said
[19:13] <Church> nicholas: eg. i have "close,minimize,maximize,menu:"
[19:13] <DominikST95> @aberrant You can upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04
[19:13] <kylescottmcgill> ty MonkeyDust
[19:14] <aberrant> ok. Hm.
[19:14] <Muphrid> there is only one
[19:14] <mrg_> im using the live cd from my phone at mo but it has maybe 30 mins battery left and is not charging
[19:14] <Church> nicholas: as in all of them on the left
[19:14] <mrg_> so how do i rescue my ubuntu isntall?
[19:14] <Greg8823> Muphrid: The tower has a front and a rear heaphone jacks
[19:14] <nicholas> Church: i haven't a metacity option
[19:14] <Muphrid> Greg8823: ah, true
[19:14] <aberrant> so it's just update-manager-core and then do-release-upgrade?
[19:14] <aberrant> that is, install update-manager-core?
[19:15] <mrg_> sorry for the urgency but im stuck at work and as i say time limited
[19:15] <nicholas> Church: i'm using compiz on gnome-classic
[19:16] <atlef> mrg_, it's called xorg.conf maybe
[19:16] <Church> oh, then don't know. i always disabled all effects.
[19:16] <d1zzy> F3Speech: weird, I solved everything by doing this: dpkg -i steam_latest.deb (errors), apt-get install -f (installs some :i386 packages), and again dpkg -i steam_latest.deb which succeeds
[19:16] <Church> nicholas: try googling
[19:16] <mrg_> atlef theres no xorg.conf file
[19:17] <F3Speech> d1zzy: glad u got sorted :)
[19:17] <atlef> mrg_, in /etc/X11 ?
[19:17] <nicholas> have done that but i maybe have to do some more
[19:17] <milamber> !nomodeset | mrg_
[19:17] <Muphrid> Greg8823: do you have another headphone or sound device to test?
[19:18] <milamber> mrg_: the other option is hold right shift while grub is loading and boot the previous kernel
[19:18] <mrg_> ubottu the press e on the boot menu and replace quiet boot...tried that no luck
[19:19] <Greg8823> Muphrid: yeah i have another pair of headphones and a bluetooth speaker that is paired
[19:19] <MonkeyDust> mrg_  ubottu is a (ro)bot
[19:19] <mrg_> milamber i tried in the extended options to load an earlier kernal same issue
[19:19] <mrg_> oh ok
[19:19] <Greg8823> Muphrid: but the speaker is not on
[19:19] <Muphrid> Greg8823: so, they work?
[19:19] <milamber> mrg_: have you tried the nomodeset option?
[19:19] <mrg_> yes
[19:20] <mrg_> the process that i used aparently took me down a version of xsession
[19:20] <kslater> sweet, just got my fingerprint reader working again.
[19:20] <mrg_> to make it compatable with the ati legacy drivers
[19:20] <d1zzy> F3Speech: heh, on the first rean the steam client updates itself (without root), seems to be storing the updated version in ~/.local/share/Steam
[19:20] <mrg_> thats proberly whats the problem but its trying to fix it
[19:20] <Greg8823> Muphrid: yeah im able to use them both with my phone and get sound, but when i try to use it with the computer i get nothing
[19:21] <Greg8823> Mophrid: even if i use the exact same sound
[19:21] <mrg_> eeek my phones at 10% battery i may of been optermistic when i said i have 30 minutes
[19:22] <mrg_> ok can i install this xsession thing onto ubuntu from this live cd?
[19:22] <mrg_> or uninstall the fglrx thingy from inside this session?
[19:22] <Muphrid> Greg8823: do you have all the modules listed in 'lsmod | grep snd_hda' ?
[19:22] <sgonyea> How do I get in touch with Ubuntu package maintainers?
[19:22] <milamber> mrg_: can you get into the session?
[19:22] <yeats> sgonyea: look the package up on packages.ubuntu.com and email them
[19:22] <mrg_> its on the same laptop im running this livecd from if that helps
[19:23] <milamber> mrg_: if so you should remove the package you installed with apt-get remove (and i would say use the purge option), remove the ppa, then do an update/upgrade
[19:23] <Greg8823> Mophrid: how would i know if i have all of them?
[19:23] <mrg_> how do i link into the installed session from the live cd?
[19:23] <milamber> mrg_: it would be easier if you could get access to the box itself (even if you could get in via ssh)
[19:23] <yeats> sgonyea: though if you're reporting a problem it's better to file a bug report than to contact a maintainer directly
[19:24] <mrg_> (i only started using ubuntu yesterday)
[19:24] <cuqa>  /join #css
[19:24] <Muphrid> Greg8823: now check this to see what module it is using: lspci -v | grep -A 5 Audio
[19:24] <milamber> mrg_: then i would just do a clean install, copy any files you need to a separate flash drive and then reinstall
[19:24] <Muphrid> Greg8823: I have hdmi, realtek and intel
[19:25] <mrg_> not an option the live cd is running from my phone
[19:25] <mrg_> 9% battery left now
[19:25] <Guest68822> please help NO_PUBKEY AB6DA34B475A6B7F
[19:25] <sgonyea> yeats: The last bug on this package is over 9 months old and unanswered.  Probably better if I wake someone up
[19:25] <milamber> mrg_: not sure what you mean by that, if you have a livecd there should be an option to install the os
[19:25] <sgonyea> (or try to)
[19:26] <mrg_> milamber there is but its not a cd its a phone being used as a pendrive
[19:26] <yeats> sgonyea: don't be suprised if their response is "file a bug report" ;-)
[19:26] <mrg_> the phone is not charging attached to this for some reason and its battery is going down
[19:26] <milamber> mrg_: so why do you think you won't be able to reinstall?
[19:26] <bekks> Guest68822: Thats not a real problem but just a warning. You can fix it like: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com key-fingerprint
[19:26] <mrg_> not enough time
[19:26] <vlt> Hello. I want to add some kernel options to grub. Which file to edit on Ubuntu 12.04 with GRUB2?
[19:27] <mrg_> the battery will die before then
[19:27] <bekks> mrg_: Then you have a hardware problem which cannot be fixed by software.
[19:27] <n3mu5> thx bekks
[19:27] <milamber> mrg_: ah, and the computer isn't charging the phone battery?
[19:27] <atlef> milamber, because he is running the livecd from the sd card on his phone
[19:27] <mrg_> is there no way to link into the installed session from this live @cd@
[19:27] <Ubiquity> hi all, i'm trying to enable wake on lan. I need some troubleshooting
[19:27] <mrg_> and correct its not charging
[19:27] <Ubiquity> this thing is driving me crazy
[19:27] <bekks> mrg_: No.
[19:27] <mrg_> bugger
[19:28] <vlt> !enter | Ubiquity
[19:28] <bekks> mrg_: You cannot fix a broken cable (e.g.) with some software.
[19:28] <atlef> Ubiquity, is it enabled in the bios
[19:28] <Greg8823> mophrid: I have Intel, codec_Realtek, i dont have hdmi. also it said i have NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 high Definition audio (rev 2a) with the kernel driver in use being  snd_hda_intel
[19:28] <Ubiquity> aflef: i have enabled it in the bios. I have enabled it in ethtool
[19:28] <mrg_> bekks the ati card worked fine before i added the propertry drivers (fine but slow)
[19:29] <mrg_> the hardware is fine its the drivers that are the issue
[19:29] <bekks> mrg_: Which has nothing to do with your phone not being charged.
[19:29] <mrg_> i did this https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx
[19:29] <milamber> mrg_: what i am trying to tell you is that you need to gain access to the machine
[19:29] <mrg_> bekks i know, the phone not charging is merely adding time limit to me
[19:30] <milamber> mrg_: is the computer you borked a laptop or a desktop?
[19:30] <mrg_> im on the machine just as a live cd not as the installed version if that makes sense
[19:30] <Ubiquity> i'm looking at my router right now and i'm seeing a packet go to the wired connection of the box i want to turn on
[19:30] <mrg_> a laptop
[19:30] <rblst> hi folks, trying to get a Samsung SCX-3400F to scan (USB Id: 0x04E8 0x344F) under Ubuntu 12.10 64.bit; anyone has any experience with that?
[19:30] <mrg_> i have full access to it as im on it now but as a live cd
[19:30] <mrg_> the live cd is however installed on my phones memory card
[19:30] <mrg_> when the phone battery dies BLAM no acccess to the live cd
[19:31] <mrg_> hence my urgency
[19:31] <greyduck> Could anyone tell me how i might change the hostname in ubuntu 12.10 please
[19:31] <bekks> greyduck: Just user the command "hostname".
[19:31] <milamber> mrg_: do you have ssh-server installed on the laptop? and i think you should be trying to gain access to the console on the machine, not from the live cd
[19:31] <blackline> llutz, do you feel up for giving mounting my Popcorn Hour as a folder another try? :D
[19:32] <greyduck> i tried sudo gedit /etc/hostnam with noluck
[19:32] <mrg_> milamber its the same machine
[19:32] <bekks> greyduck: Use the command "hostname".
[19:32] <mrg_> the laptop im on is the one im trying to fix
[19:32] <bekks> greyduck: "sudo hostname mynewhostname"
[19:32] <greyduck> ok i'll try and thanks
[19:32] <mrg_> live cd works installed version does not
[19:33] <mrg_> is there a way to manualy reset the graphics drivers in the files?
[19:33] <mrg_> i have access to the installed versions /etc/X11/
[19:34] <mrg_> if i delete the contents will that force it to install default drivers?
[19:34] <milamber> mrg_: what i am telling you is that it is going to be easier to gain access to the laptop than try and fix this from a livecd. you installed a package that you don't know what files it affects. you should remove it with the package manager.
[19:35] <mrg_> but i cant get into the installed version of ubuntu
[19:35] <mrg_> the best i can do is the recovery and then root console
[19:35] <mrg_> but that wouldnt let me uninstall stuff
[19:36] <mrg_> low graphics mode wouldnt load either
[19:36] <mrg_> nomodeset no worked
[19:36] <Greg8823> mophrid: I have codec, Intel, codec_Realtek, i dont have hdmi. also it said i have NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 high Definition audio (rev 2a) with the kernel driver in use being  snd_hda_intel
[19:36] <mrg_> shift+ctrl+f1 wouldnt work on the black screen
[19:37] <mrg_> i was ok untill i tried to fix my slow graphics using a guide then it all went to pot
[19:37] <mrg_> is there a rollback service like with windows?
[19:37] <rblst> greyduck: hostname changes it for the current session, /etc/hostname changes it permanently, but you need a reboot for that, i believe
[19:38] <MonkeyDust> mrg_  you mean a downgrade, best not do it
[19:38] <mrg_> if i cant get this to work im looking at 5 and a half hours of nothing but a black screen
[19:39] <mrg_> so deleting the x11 folder wont force ubuntu to reinstall another copy
[19:39] <mrg_> what about copying the x11 folder from the livecd to the installed hd?
[19:40] <mrg_> it wont let me?
[19:40] <mrg_> arghhhhhhhhh
[19:41] <Greg8823> Muphrid: thanks for your help but i have to go. i will try again some other time.
[19:41] <mrg_> ok aparently the installed x11 folder is owned by root not me could that be the issue?
[19:42] <mrg_> guys?
[19:42] <bekks> mrg_: Everything in /etc/ is not owned by your user.
[19:43] <mrg_> is there a way to replace the /etc/x11 with that of the live cd?
[19:43] <mrg_> from what i can see that is where the graphics are controlled
[19:43] <MonkeyDust> mrg_  for anything outside /home, you need sudo
[19:43] <mrg_> ah so i can do it in terminal
[19:44] <yeats> mrg_: if I were you I would use a live CD/USB (not your dying phone) to back up your relevant files and reinstall
[19:45] <yeats> mrg_: I think you're in over your head and that would be better than all this urgency stuff
[19:45] <mrg_> if i was at home yeats i would agree
[19:45] <blackline> llutz, do you feel up for giving mounting my Popcorn Hour as a folder another try? :D
[19:45] <mrg_> but if i dont fix it im left with a shift from hell
[19:45] <mrg_> ok 4% battery
[19:46] <mrg_> think im gonna have to try to just install over the top of it while i still have the battery to do it
[19:46] <atlef> mrg, have you tried connecting the phone to one of the other usb ports, maybe the one you are using does not deliver enough power to charge
[19:47] <mrg_> when i get home im so putting windows back on here ubuntu is the most unfriendly  os i have ever used
[19:47] <__Alex_> Hello, could someone using Wubi post me his /boot/grub/grub.cfg in a pastebin? I'm interested to see how it works
[19:47] <mrg_> i mean the os not you guys btw
[19:47] <yeats> mrg_: probably not wise to judge the whole project from this one bad experience, but to each one's own
[19:48] <mrg_> all i did was try to install proper video drivers
[19:48] <mrg_> and the whole thing stopped working...its more then a bad experience
[19:48] <yeats> mrg_: I would advise purchasing an in-support video card
[19:49] <mrg_> cant replace the gfx of a laptop
[19:49] <bekks> mrg_: And I'd suggest to not use foreign software sources.
[19:49] <myersg> I need help getting a bluetooth headset to work
[19:49] <atlef> bekks, +1
[19:49] <myersg> It is connecting
[19:49] <myersg> but not plahing sound
[19:49] <__Alex_> Or can someone explain me in-depht how wubi works, and how I can make grub emulate a disk, not just saying "It emulates a disk"?
[19:49] <myersg> or the mic not working
[19:49] <mrg_> im attempting a reinstall
[19:50] <myersg> any help?
[19:50] <atlef> mrg, once again: have you tried connecting the phone to one of the other usb ports, maybe the one you are using does not deliver enough power to charge
[19:50] <myersg> I need help with a blue-tooth head set
[19:51] <d1zzy> F3Speech: cool, just played some Amnesia The Dark Descent on Linux from Steam :)
[19:51] <mrg_> if i unplug it then it will crash what im doing but ill try when it fails
[19:51] <madmax_x> #thepiratebay.org
[19:52] <mrg_> it seems to be reinstalling faster
[19:52] <atlef> mrg_, ok, it is just that i have experienced that certain usb ports on laptop does not deliver enogh power to charge
[19:52] <yeats> myersg: click on the volume icon and click Sound Settings
[19:52] <mrg_> which is good as im on 3% battery
[19:52] <myersg> Yeats
[19:52] <myersg> I did
[19:52] <yeats> myersg: then make sure it's using that device
[19:52] <mrg_> atlef you may be onto something i admit im hoping its that
[19:52] <myersg> it is and nothing
[19:53] <mrg_> i was told to use ubuntu as its gui is light wieght etc but so far its been really slugish
[19:53] <yeats> myersg: what do you mean by "nothing"? it's not showing as an available device?
[19:53] <myersg> it is
[19:53] <myersg> but no sound
[19:53] <mrg_> hence the trying to install the proper drivers for my amd
[19:53] <myersg> and no imput form the mic]
[19:53] <mrg_> ati even
[19:53] <yeats> mrg_: with an out of support ATI card, that would be expected
[19:54] <__Alex_> mrg_: Someone was seriously lying to you, Ubuntu has the most bloated GUI of all Live-CD based linux distros I know
[19:54] <mrg_> :(
[19:54] <mrg_> thats what the guide i used was spose to fix
[19:54] <mrg_> instead it killed my os
[19:54] <mrg_> alex i was on windows 8
[19:54] <mrg_> :(
[19:54] <ThomasCorwin> mrg_ : Does it work at all?
[19:54] <yeats> mrg_: with all those sorts of unofficial guides, your mileage may vary
[19:55] <mrg_> all i wanted to do was get better performance from minecraft lol
[19:55] <yeats> mrg_: especially if you're not that familiar with Ubuntu/Linux in the first place
[19:55] <myersg> so any help?
[19:55] <mrg_> im flashing on 1% battery till not done installing
[19:55] <atlef> mrg_, is this a machine that came with win8?
[19:56] <mrg_> .....if this was a film it should install by now
[19:56] <mrg_> no it came with vista
[19:56] <atlef> ok
[19:56] <mrg_> but i have win 8 at home
[19:56] <cuqa> with 1% you cant come far enough :p
[19:56] <mrg_> its an old laptop
[19:56] <yeats> myersg: you've done the "test sound" feature?
[19:56] <Sliker> myersg: all i can suggest is go inro alsamixer and unmute evrything. see if one gets sound on them
[19:56] <myersg> yes and no sound comes out
[19:56] <mrg_> it has a radion hd 4000 serise gfx card though
[19:57] <ThomasCorwin> mrg_: Coul dyou catch me up on the problem please? i may have a solution for you.
[19:57] <mrg_> i followerd this guide https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx thomas
[19:57] <mrg_> and then my os wouldnt boot
[19:57] <mrg_> shift + ctrl + f1 no work
[19:57] <mrg_> modeset thing no work
[19:57] <mrg_> recovery low graphics no work
[19:57] <debian-no0b__> I just installed `stud` (https://github.com/bumptech/stud) and it includes this `debian` folder. I don't really know much about debian, wondering if someone knows how I can add stud to `init.d` using these scripts.
[19:58] <atlef> mrg_, look at this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/203232/radeon-hd-2000-3000-4000-on-12-10-quantal-fglrx-legacy-12-6-unsupported-wh
[19:59] <yeats> debian-no0b__: are you running Ubuntu?
[19:59] <yeats> debian-no0b__: I ask because I see that you are also asking in #debian
[19:59] <mrg_> atlef thats exactly my issue
[19:59] <atlef> mrg_, oh hehe
[19:59] <mrg_> and what happened to me
[19:59] <mrg_> i  think
[20:00] <debian-no0b__> yeats: yes
[20:00] <debian-no0b__> ubuntu
[20:00] <debian-no0b__> isnt ubuntu debian based?
[20:00] <mrg_> come on! downloading language packs what the hell!!!!
[20:00] <atlef> yes
[20:01] <yeats> debian-no0b__: yes, but they are very different projects and only ubuntu is supported here
[20:01] <mrg_> oh ....umm
[20:01] <mrg_> my phone is dead but im still here
[20:01] <mrg_> O.o
[20:01] <atlef> mrg_, magic
[20:02] <mrg_> but its the phones mmc im using for the live cd
[20:02] <mrg_> this ...shouldnt...be
[20:02] <debian-no0b__> yeats: do you have any tips?
[20:02] <atlef> mrg_, but it seems you need to install 12.04 ie. downgrade
[20:02] <mrg_> ok gift horse + mouth ...i aint looking
[20:02] <yeats> mrg_: live CD is running in RAM - installation will probably not work
[20:02] <mrg_> how do you downgrade from 12.10?
[20:03] <yeats> mrg_: there's no such thing as an actual downgrade
[20:03] <myersg> can someone point me to the linux mint IRC?
[20:03] <yeats> mrg_: you would install 12.04
[20:03] <atlef> mrg_, you need the 12.04 iso
[20:03] <yeats> myersg: you're on mint?
[20:03] <DJones> !mint | myersg
[20:03] <mrg_> ah crud
[20:03] <myersg> I am running both
[20:04] <yeats> debian-no0b__: those are debian packaging scripts
[20:04] <mrg_> though the install seems to be still working
[20:04] <yeats> mrg_: it may continue to work until it needs to read the "live CD" you had running on your phone
[20:04] <mrg_> if i can use it tonight even with just a browser ill be happy
[20:05] <mrg_> im wondering if the mmc needs power from the phone to read or if its just using the usb5 volts
[20:05] <mrg_> could explain why the phone wasnt charging
[20:05] <NuSuey> well.. I got this issue.. If I do TOO MUCH stuff on my Ubuntu (sometimes) it start freezing ( I hear the HDD, and the PC behaves like it got 100% CPU usage, mouse is unmovable..etc). Could this be because I have removed the swap partition, or what the hell could be the issue?
[20:05] <debian-no0b__> yeats: thank you
[20:06] <debian-no0b__> im guessing that translates to `cant be used`
[20:06] <mrg_> i got to go do a patrol with luck ill still be here when i get back
[20:06] <debian-no0b__> even though i do have a dpkg command
[20:06] <mrg_> if not, thanl you for the help guys
[20:06] <atlef> mrg_, np and good luck
[20:07] <NuSuey> anybody?
[20:07] <clint_> I'm trying to compile kernel 3.6.0.  I fetched the source using git, and switch branches using "git checkout -b temp Ubuntu-3.6.0-0.1"..However, when I build using "AUTOBUILD=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs" I end up with 3.7.0 deb files...am I not checking out the branch code?
[20:07] <Sliker> that happens when you run out of RAM space, NuSuey. You need a swap partition if that's the case.
[20:07] <atlef> !anyone | NuSuey
[20:07] <NuSuey> :P
[20:08] <atlef> NuSuey, :-)
[20:08] <NuSuey> Sliker: well I guess I'm gonna try to create a swap partition and find out. but.. how big should it be? I have 4GB ram
[20:08] <atlef> NuSuey, then make it 4gb
[20:08] <yeats> debian-no0b__: not "can't be used" if you want to learn packaging
[20:08] <yeats> !packaging | debian-no0b__
[20:10] <ax> I'd like to be able to switch between propreitary video driver [nvidia] and the open source driver, reguarily, does anyone have info on somethingl ike this?
[20:11] <ThomasCorwin> mrg_: If you were to do a fresh install of 12.04, you should be fine. but from what ive read on here, you only have a live CD for 12.10, correct?
 i got to go do a patrol with luck ill still be here when i get back
[20:12] <NuSuey> atlef: so It won't help to make it bigger, it just moves the stuff from the ram and back..there? :)
[20:12] <atlef> ThomasCorwin, he gone, but will most certanly come back
[20:13] <ThomasCorwin> atlef: oh. whoops.
[20:13] <Sliker> NuSuey: yup, but on linux if you run out of ram, high memory users start getting automatically force-quit. Better than nothing.
[20:13] <NuSuey> Sliker: yeah, but I'm not sure if this will help .. but.. will have to see :)
[20:18] <obert> is it normal that dolphin doesnt shows .htaccess?
[20:18] <mrg_> ooo im still here cool
[20:19] <mrg_> and install is still going
[20:19] <ThomasCorwin> mrg_: As i tried to tell you while you were gone, If you were to do a fresh install of 12.04, you should be fine. but from what ive read on here, you only have a live CD for 12.10, correct?
[20:19] <mrg_> yep only of 12.10
[20:20] <devstefano> hi all, I have some idea for some program of ubuntu, but I am not able to fix them by myself. Where should I write my idea and maybe see if I can help a bit? thanks
[20:21] <mrg_> but  thats kinda double dutch to me
[20:21] <mrg_> i know xsession is the gfx stuff
[20:21] <mrg_> from what i saw its something called xsession of gnome thats too new
[20:21] <mrg_> but gnome to me is a garden ornimant
[20:21] <ThomasCorwin> mrg_: if you were planning on downgrading to 12.04, you couldve ran the LiveCD, then opened Firefox,  Then downloaded the 12.04 ISO Image to a flash drive, then lastly unpack the ISO onto a CD.
[20:22] <mrg_> thomas i may try that when i get home
[20:22] <mrg_> or go back to windows
[20:23] <ThomasCorwin> okay. I will find a link for you if i can (for the Ubuntu 12.04) and do you habe the media CD for Windows 8?
[20:23] <ThomasCorwin> have8

[20:25] <manners13> hey guys having real big problems trying to remove a package which has somehow got corrupt
[20:25] <mrg_> i will proberly need to restore my laptop to vista, locate my win 7 disc update then use the win8 update disc
[20:25] <yeats> mrg_: don't worry about the "previously installed" messages
[20:25] <yeats> mrg_: the live CD doesn't know about anything you did after you installed ;-)
[20:25] <mrg_> monkeydust i did this https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx
[20:25] <mrg_> and broke ubuntu
[20:25] <manners13> http://pastebin.com/ZfBALb7R even when forcing it im still having no joy can anyone help
[20:26] <ThomasCorwin> mrg_: you can install windows 8 from Vista.
[20:26] <ThomasCorwin> via the Update Disk
[20:26] <MonkeyDust> mrg_  and you tried to repair that from some mobile device?
[20:26] <mrg_> ah cool
[20:26] <mrg_> yes
[20:26] <mrg_> my live cd is on my phones mmc
[20:27] <mrg_> my phone thats now dead battery
[20:27] <mrg_> and yet the mmc the live cd is still working
[20:27] <ThomasCorwin> I did that too! its on an iPod though.
[20:27] <riderplus> I'm opening a pdf file from the internet. I try to save it on local disk and I get "permission denied"
[20:28] <riderplus> why?
[20:28] <mrg_> i thought when i installed ubuntu yesterday if it ever fails i`ll know i have it on my phone
[20:28] <bekks> riderplus: Maybe because you dont have permissions to save something in the path where you want to save it.
[20:28] <riderplus> I tried on all paths...same error message
[20:28] <ThomasCorwin> rider plus: make sure you are on an administative account and try to save it to the desktop.
[20:28] <ekik> riderplus: Are you saving it in your home folder, or somewhere else?
[20:29] <riderplus> yes in my home folder
[20:29] <ThomasCorwin> mrg_: same thought.
[20:29] <ekik> Hmm, weird..
[20:29] <ekik> Could you please do: ls -ld ~
[20:29] <blargg> What do I press to run memtest86 on an Ubuntu 12.04 livecd? I've found several conflicting answers and none have worked.
[20:29] <ekik> And paste the output here
[20:30] <mrg_> att this point i dare not unplug the phones usb
[20:30] <mrg_> 3g wifi dongle is the next to fail though if im not careful
[20:30] <riderplus> drwxr-xr-x 50 myuser myuser 4096 Jan  6 22:24 /home/myuser
[20:31] <ekik> ...looks correct to me
[20:31] <ekik> ...haven't got a clue then I'm afraid
[20:31] <mrg_> its that ...is it in ram or is the mmc getting enough power to be used lol
[20:31] <jamin> blargg, during initial boot you need to press a key during the splash screen with a circle and keyboard the bottom... then you should get a menu that will allow you to select memtest
[20:31] <ThomasCorwin> manners13: you should reinstall the package by putting sudo apt-get install bacula-sd     Then, uninstall the package with the basic removal code line: sudo apt-get remove bacula-sd
[20:31] <riderplus> wait...it works on my home folder
[20:31] <mrg_> oh gnome is the shell
[20:32] <riderplus> it doesn't work on the other disk
[20:32] <riderplus> that one has the following
[20:32] <mrg_> is that swapable with one thats not as pretty/ram cpu hungry?
[20:32] <riderplus> drwx---rw- 17 myuser root 12288 Jan  6 19:22 /media/Free
[20:32] <mrg_> like windows aero to windows clasic
[20:33] <ekik> riderplus: Ok, that makes sense.
[20:33] <riderplus> so what should I do?
[20:33] <manners13> dpkg: error processing bacula-sd (--configure):
[20:33] <manners13>  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[20:33] <manners13>  reinstall it before attempting configuration.
[20:33] <dino5> hi please Im on a live cd I want to fix my mbr to original state by terminal
[20:33] <manners13> how can i fis this cause im stuck lol
[20:33] <manners13> fis/fix
[20:34] <riderplus> I have already tried chown
[20:34] <ThomasCorwin> manners13: you should reinstall the package by putting sudo apt-get install bacula-sd     Then, uninstall the package with the basic removal code line: sudo apt-get remove bacula-s
[20:35] <riderplus> ekik?
[20:35] <ThomasCorwin> bacula-sd
[20:35] <manners13> i get the same error
[20:35] <ekik> riderplus: Could you please run: mount | grep Free
[20:35] <ekik> ..and paste the output
[20:35] <riderplus> ok
[20:35] <anli_> When I try to use synaptic to install librsvg, I get an error message with some lines like "Depends: libcairo2-dev but it is not going to be installed", what does it take to make synaptic actually install those dependencies?
[20:36] <bekks> ekik: That will return nothing.
[20:36] <blackline> Guys. Anyone up for trying to help me mounting a share on my media center to a folder on my Ubuntu 12.10 machine? :D
[20:36] <riderplus> /dev/sda6 on /media/Free type ext4 (rw)
[20:36] <ekik> riderplus: Ok...mounted as rw at least...that's good
[20:36] <manners13> it seems likethis package is in use somewhere i cant install or remove
[20:37] <bekks> ekik: Ok, now I am astonished :P
[20:37] <ekik> bekks: :)
[20:37] <manners13> all instances of it as far as i can tell have stopped
[20:37] <riderplus> so why it's impossible to save an opened pdf file in evince to that location?
[20:37] <bekks> manners13: Try sudo apt-get -f install
[20:37] <ekik> riderplus: I don't know really...my last restort would be to do a chown -R myuser:myser /media/Free
[20:38] <riderplus> ok
[20:38] <mrg_> ah ok i think i see one issue i had, the performance im using something called unity dash im guessing gnome is older and more resource friendly
[20:38] <ekik> riderplus: Will recursively change ownership of all the files and directories to myuser
[20:38] <mrg_> is there a way to swap them?
[20:38] <JoshuaP> I deleted everything that had to do with apache2 after I removed apache2. Now when I reinstalled it, none of it came back. How can I fix this?
[20:38] <bekks> manners13: pastebin the output of ls -lha /media/ please
[20:39] <Alabaster_W> i switched network interfaces (from eth0 to eth1) and I am having connection troubles (obv on another box)
[20:39] <cornfeed> i feel silly asking this, but how do i stop a service from starting at boot? for example acpid?
[20:39] <manners13> http://pastebin.com/NqH3khwf
[20:40] <riderplus> ekik I still get Error opening file /media/Free/Documents/filename: Permission denied
[20:40] <tremby1> hello. i recently updated my home server to 12.04.1. it now fails intermittently -- some services stay running (firewall, ip masquerading, first page of any set of http requests(?) ack of sshd but not full login) and others fail (dhcpd). i then can't log in to it directly either -- when trying to do that i get a general protection fault http://i.imgur.com/tgEqQ.jpg
[20:40] <tremby1> if i watch long enough other GPFs will appear, such as for apache2, and i've seen one for "head" too
[20:40] <mrg_> and my install may of crashed its still "restoring prevously installed packages"
[20:40] <tremby1> any idea what's going on? i need to hard reset when it gets into this state, then it's fine for a little while and then it happens again
[20:41] <ekik> riderplus: Hmm, please read through this article then: http://superuser.com/questions/196653/how-do-i-manually-mount-a-linux-file-system-read-write-as-a-normal-user
[20:41] <ekik> That might be your problem
[20:41] <ThomasCorwin> cornfeed: Click on the Shutdown/Settings button on the Top Bar. Then Click: Startup Applications.
[20:42] <ekik> riderplus: Sorry I cound'nt be of more help
[20:42] <manners13> what do you think bekks
[20:42] <bekks> manners13: Sorry, that was for riderplus :)
[20:43] <bekks> riderplus: : pastebin the output of ls -lha /media/ please
[20:43] <manners13> y
[20:43] <manners13> sorry wrong place
[20:43] <anli_> Is this a kernel issue? Depends: libpng12-0 (=1.2.44-1ubuntu3) but 1.2.44-1ubuntu3.1 is to be installed
[20:43] <jamin> is there a general way to inhibit volume automounting for a period of time?  I've searched and found the commands for udisks but that doesn't seem to have the desired affect as many volumes still get mounted (I suspect this is due to udisks2)
[20:43] <manners13> how can i get rid of the broken package
[20:43] <bekks> anli_: No. Thats just a dependency problem.
[20:43] <anli_> But what does the problem depend on?
[20:43] <k1l> anli_: i would check the PPAs you got activated
[20:44] <bekks> manners13: Did you run sudo apt-get -f install ?
[20:44] <manners13> yup i get the same error
[20:45] <bekks> manners13: Could you pastebin the entire output please?
[20:45] <cornfeed> ThomasCorwin: i prefer CLI. i found something about update-rc.d
[20:46] <manners13> dont worry think iv sorted it
[20:46] <anli_> apt-get -f install librsvg2-dev should forcefully install librsvg2-dev ?
[20:46] <manners13> will find out in a few mins
[20:46] <anli_> It did not
[20:46] <k1l> anli_: do you have PPAs activated?
[20:46] <anli_> k1l, How do I see if I have?
[20:46] <yeats> anli_: try 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get -f install' again
[20:47] <BluesKaj> anli_, just  apt-get -f install , without any package name
[20:47] <k1l> anli_: pastbin a "sudo apt-get update" and a "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/"
[20:47] <anli_> Should I give the package name I want to install as well?
[20:47] <yeats> anli_: do 'apt-cache policy libpng12-0'
[20:48] <anli_> yeats: http://pastebin.com/zpPn6W40
[20:48] <BluesKaj> too many cooks
[20:49] <yeats> !natty | anli_
[20:49] <k1l> natty? :/
[20:49] <anuvrat> I am setting up raid, what should I do with /boot/efi?
[20:49] <anli_> Its so strange that linux systems from around 1998 was so long living then
[20:49] <anli_> You could actually have one for a while
[20:49] <anli_> Until the computer broke
[20:49] <yeats> anli_: you'll need to upgrade to at least 11.10
[20:50] <anli_> ok
[20:50] <k1l> anli_: if you want a long lasting system got with the LTS versions of ubuntu
[20:50] <anli_> I want a forever lasting one :)
[20:50] <k1l> anli_: 11.04 was no LTS version
[20:50] <anli_> Is my system even upgradable?
[20:51] <k1l> !eolupgrade | anli_
[20:51] <k1l> anli_: you should upgrade to 12.04 (with step to 11.10 and then to 12.04) and can stay there for 5 years for support
[20:52] <jamin> k1l, that's really only viable if the item in question is a server... 5 years for a desktop is too long... software becomes too old...
[20:52] <slide> Does anyone know of a way to install ubuntu onto a harddrive partition from inside windows? (I have no CD/DVDs to burn a copy)
[20:52] <Alabaster_W> i can't get eth1 configured
[20:52] <slide> I suppose i could use a flash drive hrm
[20:53] <jamin> slide, yea use a USB thumbdrive or similar
[20:53] <atlef> slide, use a flashdrive
[20:53] <k1l> jamin: lts desktop becomes 5 sears support. if the user wants it he can have it. like you can read the user here doesnt want to have the newest software
[20:53] <anli_> So the reason synaptic is not working is because I want to keep my system? :)
[20:53] <anli_> It would be nice if I could still upgrade, it was possible before that date
[20:54] <anli_> Why isnt it possible any longer?
[20:54] <k1l> anli_: did you read what the bot told you?
[20:54] <yeats> anli_: read the link k1l shared
[20:54] <jamin> k1l, that's fine in theory... and yes, the LTS does get supported that long... however, then there's reality... the world around us moves too fast for a 5 year old desktop
[20:55] <Owiec> is it possible to install ubuntu with chroot? copy data to paritation, chroot to this parition and install system? default instalator doesnt work for me.
[20:55] <mrg_> damn it i need to use my phone soon
[20:55] <Owiec> *parition
[20:56] <mrg_> ok im gonna risk moving the usb ..wish luck
[20:56] <Alabaster_W> so I removed my (eth0) nic and now i'm using my onboard (eth1) card. Attempting to restart networking  fails to bring up eth1
[20:56] <yeats> !install | Owiec
[20:56] <Alabaster_W> ifup doens't bring up eth1 either
[20:57] <anli_> I like the link k1l shared, it told me which date the support ended, it did not tell why however
[20:57] <jamin> Alabaster_W, does ifconfig see it "ifconfig -a"?
[20:58] <vianna_> Boa tarde pessoal
[20:58] <k1l> anli_: read the message again. you missed half the part
[20:58] <anli_> k1l: Sorry then
[21:01] <Alabaster_W> jamin: yes, eth1 is seen on ifconfig -a
[21:01] <anli_> k1l: Which message btw?
[21:01] <jamin> Alabaster_W, and what about "sudo dhclient eth1"?
[21:01] <yeats> !eolupgrade | anli_ - once again:
[21:02] <k1l> anli_: *sigh* its not gonna work if you wont concentrate on what you are doing and what people say in here to you.
[21:03] <anli_> I must be stupid, you give me two links, and I dont find the information you tell me is in there
[21:03] <aberrant> how do I update my repo list so I can upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04? My hosting company is using their own internal ones that don't have precise on them.
[21:04] <IdleOne> anli_: Why did the Ford motor company stop providing parts for the Model T ?
[21:04] <Alabaster_W> jamin: it's processing, one moment
[21:04] <jsmith_> can someone provide me with a link to a idiots guide to using IRC?
[21:04] <Alabaster_W> jamin: probably more like 60+ moments
[21:04] <jamin> anli_, doesn't help when people are rude to you... in short... nothing can be supported indefinitely... a decision has to be made on when to end support...
[21:04] <sophusn> jsmith_, http://google.com
[21:05] <blargg> jamin, I'm not seeing the circle and keyboard before the livecd boots. It goes directly to the Ubuntu .... screen.
[21:05] <anli_> jamin: As I see it, files are removed to actively make support stop
[21:05] <jamin> blargg, tap a key during the boot process repeatedly (twice a second or so) see if that interrupts the process for you
[21:06] <BluesKaj> aberrant, upgrading by editing the sources.list is dangerous
[21:06] <jamin> anli_, no... updates just stop happening...
[21:06] <velko> !google > velko
[21:06] <jamin> at another point, they relocate the archive...
[21:06] <anli_> Instead of making it bigger, yeah
[21:07] <Alabaster_W> aberrant: honestly, I would just do a fresh install
[21:07] <dpurgert> blargg --  F2, F8, del, or F12 (depending on BIOS) will get you to your boot menu...
[21:07] <anli_> IdleOne: I dont know
[21:07] <jamin> dpurgert, he's looking for the menu from the LiveCD
[21:08] <dpurgert> missed that bit -- thought he wasn't able to boot from the live CD (i.e. boot from hdd was first)
[21:08] <iuntyrz> how to
[21:09] <iuntyrz> remove ubuntu desktop
[21:09] <iuntyrz> on top left
[21:09] <iuntyrz> with unity
[21:09] <Alabaster_W> jamin: sudo dhclient eth1 returned nothing
[21:09] <aberrant> Alabaster_W: I can't do a fresh install.
[21:09] <Alabaster_W> jamin: and it took awhile
[21:09] <jamin> no output of any kind?
[21:09] <iuntyrz> how to remove ubuntu desktop title on top left with unity, hi ppl
[21:09] <iuntyrz> cuz I hate the heavy text branding of ubuntu
[21:10] <atlef> !b43
[21:10] <BluesKaj> aberrant, check this out , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades/Kubuntu/10.04LTS
[21:12] <stefan_> hi; i use ubuntu 12.10 and my sound does not work. I have tried everything in the troubleshooting guide, have followed various alsamixer tutorials, etc. but nothing has worked... i'm using the front sound port on a custom built 32bit comp
[21:12] <dpurgert> stefan -- what sound card is in the computer?  generic realtec or something?
[21:12] <stefan_> dpurgert: hda intel or cpimi or something
[21:13] <Fonsie> how do i simply uninstall lubuntu from my system, its duel booted with windows
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> Fonsie: how did you install it?
[21:13] <Fonsie> booted from usb drive
[21:13] <dpurgert> have you tried the ports on the rear?
[21:13] <stefan_> dpurgert: no, but the comp is on a rack, so i can't really...
[21:13] <k1l> Fonsie: bootup a live-system and remove the partitions, boot the windows cd and repair the bootloader
[21:14] <dpurgert> bwah?
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> Fonsie: then delete the Ubuntu partitions in WIndows, you will need to reinstate the Windows boot loader using your Windows CD (or if there is a method in Windows, do that)
[21:14] <blargg> jamin, if I hold shift, I get a "load boot graphics" prompt, and N gives me a boot: prompt. Any way to run memtest86 from that?
[21:14] <stefan_> dpurgert: i can't get to the back without removing the computer from the rack, which is a hassle
[21:14] <magik_> One question,  Do I need to chown the folder to the group that I want to have access to it as well as share it through nautilus.  Because I've gotten to where I enter the password and it says I still dont have permissions to access.
[21:14] <Fonsie> i dont have a windows boot cd, computer did not come with one
[21:14] <Alabaster_W> jamin: no output of any kind whatsoever
[21:14] <ikla_> ubuntu is so awesome
[21:14] <dpurgert> indeed -- but if it's just a "desktop", why even bother rackmounting it?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> Fonsie: I'd ask in ##windows to see if you can do it from within Windows somehow, then delete the Ubuntu partitions
[21:15] <stefan_> dpurgert: i like standing desks :)
[21:15] <Fonsie> alright, thank you
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> magik_: run:  sudo smbpasswd -a $USER        and you can use your username and the password you set to get access
[21:16] <dpurgert> stefan_: fair enough. Did the soundcard work previously?
[21:16] <jamin> Alabaster_W, could try it again with "-v" should enable verbose output
[21:16] <Alabaster_W> jamin: sure thing man
[21:16] <stefan_> dpurgert: before i installed ubuntu 12.10
[21:16] <cordyceps> I need to trim some audio files, what's the best 'Buntu tool for this?
[21:16] <jamin> Alabaster_W, also is ethtool installed on your box? (apt-cache policy ethtool)
[21:16] <jamin> if so, try "sudo ethtool eth1"
[21:17] <Alabaster_W> jamin: yes
[21:17] <magik_> Well I've tried that, I still can't get access and I was wondering if it's because I'm trying to share something from a different unix account.  Than the account I want to give the access.
[21:17] <dpurgert> Stefan_: OK, we'll assume for the moment it's on the PCI bus ... so try lspci to see if it's listed.
[21:18] <Alabaster_W> jamin: it's onmy other macine, what ouput would you like?
[21:18] <stefan_> dpurgert: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller
[21:18] <jamin> blargg, never seen that prompt... does tab get you anything?
[21:18] <ThomasCorwin> Could someone help me please? I installed the Lubuntu Desktop inside of my Ubuntu 12.04 installation using the following line in the terminal:     sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop    The installation works great and installed just how it should have, but now i want rid of it.   sudo apt-get remove lubuntu-desktop   doeas not delete all of the files installed. How do i get rid of them all?
[21:18] <jamin> Alabaster_W, just want to make sure that it's seeing the network cable (link)
[21:18] <stefan_> dpurgert: 07:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10)
[21:18] <blargg> jamin, tab at boot doesn't bring up anything.
[21:19] <stefan_> those are the 2
[21:19] <jamin> blargg, at the prompt you got from holding shift
[21:19] <dpurgert> well, it sees it, and it's presumably got the drivers installed/running.  Do you see a speaker icon in the upper right?
[21:19] <blargg> jamin, will try when I try rebooting again (mirroring internal drive with that machine right now).
[21:19] <Alabaster_W> jamin: i get output to the effect of "DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67 interval 3"
[21:19] <cordyceps> Need to trim a few seconds off some audio files. What's the best tool to do this?
[21:20] <stefan_> dpurgert: yes. I have used alsamixer and unmuted everything in both the hda intel and the cpi, and nothing has worked.
[21:20] <jamin> ThomasCorwin, AFAIK there's no "easy" way to remove all of it... you could check the logs for which packages were installed when you add lubuntu-desktop
[21:20] <Alabaster_W> jamin: and the "3" is changed every time
[21:20] <velko> cordyceps, have you tried audacity?
[21:21] <jamin> ThomasCorwin, should be in /var/log/apt/
[21:21] <ThomasCorwin> jamin: Where would i find the log file?
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> stefan_: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
[21:21] <ThomasCorwin> jamin: okay. i will try.
[21:21] <jamin> Alabaster_W, looks like it's not getting a response to the DHCP request... next steps would be tcpdump on the client and/or DHCP server
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> ThomasCorwin: sudo apt-get --purge remove lxde openbox       should make the rest fail deps and be removed
[21:21] <cordyceps> velko: yes, just wondering what else is out there.
[21:22] <stefan_> dpurgert: Your ALSA information is located at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d36774257b1cc8fa4265e2b21aade235a5e750c2
[21:22] <velko> ThomasCorwin, aptitude is better than apt-get in this respect. you can use it as a drop in replacement for apt-get. the added bonus is that it remembers the automatically installed dependencies and removes them also
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> stefan_: do you have an onboard sound card and a PCI sound card?
[21:23] <Alabaster_W> jamin: how would I go about doing that?
[21:23] <Alabaster_W> i'll google it
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> velko: removing metapackages only removes the metapackage
[21:23] <ThomasCorwin> ActionParsnip and velko: I will use both of you suggestions.
[21:23] <stefan_> ActionParsnip: I believe so. Is there some way to check?
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> stefan_: physically looking at the back, if you see 2 sound cards, then it is the case
[21:24] <velko> ActionParsnip, oh. my mistake then...
[21:24] <stefan_> ActionParsnip: I have a sound card at the back
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> stefan_: only one?
[21:24] <stefan_> ActionParsnip: well I'm using one on the front, too -- there's a hole for it and a mic
[21:25] <stefan_> the one I'm interested in is the front one
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> stefan_: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*   wait 10 seconds and reboot
[21:25] <NuSuey> uhm.. "You have queued an operation to move the start sector of partition /dev/sda5.  Failure to boot is most likely to occur if you move the GNU/Linux partition containing /boot, or if you move the Windows system partition C:."
[21:25] <NuSuey> I cant do that?
[21:25] <NuSuey> (message from gparted)
[21:25] <stefan_> ActionParsnip: okay; rebooting...
[21:25] <ThomasCorwin> velko: It says that the command "aptitude" cannot be found
[21:26] <stefan_> dpurgert: rebooting; brb
[21:26] <Alabaster_W> jamin: actually, a quick google of the man page is overwhelming
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> ThomasCorwin: itsnot default installed. apt-get is used now as it handles multiarch better
[21:26] <zwirc> How to change owner of a folder
[21:26] <NuSuey> I would love to know .. if i'm able to boot after I would do that
[21:27] <velko> ThomasCorwin, you have to install aptitude first. but the automatic removal will work only if you have installed the package via aptitude and you remove it with the same tool
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> zwirc: look into chown
[21:27] <ThomasCorwin> velko: How do i install it?
[21:27] <NuSuey> atlef: maybe you know ?
[21:27] <IdleOne> NuSuey: according to that warning, probably not.
[21:27] <velko> ThomasCorwin, ActionParsnip corrected me that lubuntu is a metapackage. and in this case even aptitude wont help you remove everything the easy way. so just follow his other advice
[21:28] <velko> ThomasCorwin, apt-get install aptitude
[21:28] <dpurgert> zwirc:chown user:group <folder>
[21:28] <ThomasCorwin> velko: okay, i will
[21:28] <jamin> Alabaster_W, "sudo tcpdump -i eth1 '(port 67 or port 68)'"
[21:28] <Alabaster_W> jamin: just straight "sudo tcpdump" returns '0 packets captured 0 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernal"
[21:28] <jamin> that should get you any traffic for DHCP
[21:28] <atlef> NuSuey, sorry, been busy in a different channel
[21:28] <jamin> Alabaster_W, I think that command defaulted to eth0 not eth1
[21:29] <Maverick_Hunter> Hey guys, I need some help installing Ubuntu
[21:29] <Alabaster_W> jamin: no ipv4 address assigned
[21:29] <Maverick_Hunter> everytime I install via wubi or boot via liveCD my system freezes
[21:29] <NuSuey> atlef: ah, hey :) np :P well.. can you help with that?
[21:29] <Maverick_Hunter> like maybe 2 mintues after boot
[21:29] <stefan_> back; still doesn't work
[21:29] <NuSuey> atlef: i worry if i'll do that, I wont be able to boot :o
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> Maverick_Hunter: what video chip do you use?
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> Maverick_Hunter: why use Wubi?
[21:30] <toil> I've got 8 ip address's on my server. How would I go about changing the outgoing IP address to a selective one?
[21:30] <stefan_> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d36774257b1cc8fa4265e2b21aade235a5e750c2
[21:30] <toil> Inside a swhell script
[21:30] <toil> shell*
[21:30] <Maverick_Hunter> ActionParsnip: I used wubi because LiveCD failed, I have an Nvidia 8600GT
[21:30] <Alabaster_W> Maverick_Hunter: can you be more descriptive?
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> Maverick_Hunter: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[21:31] <Maverick_Hunter> ActionParsnip: okay, how do I add that and what does it do?
[21:31] <jamin> Alabaster_W, not sure... thought you could tcpdump an interface that didn't have an IP assigned to it
[21:31] <NuSuey> atlef: guess you're still busy :)
[21:31] <jamin> Alabaster_W, this may also be of help: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-dhcpdump-monitor-dhcp-traffic/
[21:32] <Alabaster_W> jamin: you can, it's just not doing anything
[21:32] <atlef> NuSuey, yes, sorry
[21:32] <NuSuey> atlef: too bad :/ it will suck, if i'll be stuck without boot
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> Maverick_Hunter: some nvidia gpus don't like nouveau so you blacklist it so it never loads, you can then install the proprietary driver
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | Maverick_Hunter
[21:32] <ThomasCorwin> ActionParsnip: It worked. Thank you.
[21:32] <gool_> hi
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> Maverick_Hunter: it will be what is causing the issue with the live CD and you can use a real install instead of nasty Wubi
[21:33] <toil> er
[21:33] <toil> nvm!
[21:33] <atlef> NuSuey, what are you trying to do?
[21:33] <gool_> can anyone explain to me
[21:33] <gool_> how to get skype on the newest make of ubuntu?
[21:33] <stefan_> dpurget: help?
[21:33] <Maverick_Hunter> ActionParsnip: Thanks so much!
[21:33] <Alabaster_W> sudo apt-get install skype
[21:34] <dpurgert> stefan_: reboot didn't help?
[21:34] <Alabaster_W> gool_: sudo apt-get install skype
[21:34] <stefan_> dpurgert: no
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> gool_: I grab the deb file from skype's website
[21:34] <NuSuey> atlef: resizing the extende partition and then moving the linux partition to "grab the space"
[21:34] <dpurgert> stefan_: do you have pulseaudio installed?
[21:34] <gool_> it says the following packages have unmet dependencies
[21:34] <gool_> which is why i cant dl it
[21:34] <Alabaster_W> gool_: or you can go to the ubuntu software center and search for it in the search box
[21:34] <stefan_> dpurgert: yes
[21:34] <gool_> ala
[21:34] <gool_> it has to do with "dependencies"
[21:34] <gool_> which im unsure how to fix
[21:35] <Maverick_Hunter> ActionParsnip: Do I want to change the boot option permanently or temprorarily?
[21:35] <atlef> NuSuey, someone suggested that if you have win installed, you should maybe do the shrinking in win to avoid conflicts
[21:35] <dpurgert> it's been a while since I've messed around with it, so forgive me missing something ... but IIRC, I had to get something playing, and then use the tool in pulse to "force" it to one sound card or the other (speakers or headset)
[21:35] <NuSuey> atlef: with gparted (and getting the message.. You have queued an operation to move the start sector of partition /dev/sda5.  Failure to boot is most likely to occur if you move the GNU/Linux partition containing /boot, or if you move the Windows system partition C:.
[21:35] <NuSuey> You can learn how to repair the boot configuration in the GParted FAQ.
[21:35] <NuSuey> http://gparted.org/faq.php
[21:36] <NuSuey> atlef: well i booted via the livecd..so I'm able to do so
[21:36] <atlef> NuSuey, do you have only one disk in your system
[21:36] <NuSuey> atlef: 4 :D
[21:36] <NuSuey> atlef: ubuntu, mac os, w7 & winXP
[21:36] <magik_> nice
[21:36] <gool_> why?
[21:36] <gool_> lol
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> Maverick_Hunter: just for now, you can then install the proprietary driver and be ok
[21:36] <atlef> NuSuey, oh, that might be too complicated for me right now
[21:37] <atlef> NuSuey, sorry
[21:37] <NuSuey> atlef: well maybe I should try it and see what will it do? :o lol
[21:37] <NuSuey> atlef: but I may not boot of course :(
[21:37] <dpurgert> gool_ : sudo apt-get build-dep skype should fix it
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> gool_: run:  sudo apt-get -f install     and they will be satisfied. If you run 64bit OS then you will pull in a LOT of 32bit packages as deps
[21:38] <atlef> NuSuey, as long as you have all the cd/dvds at hand you should be able to fix it if it fails
[21:38] <gool_> trying dpurgert 's first
[21:38] <atlef> me thinks
[21:38] <gool_> looks to be installing
[21:38] <gool_> if not, i'll do your command actionparsnip
[21:38] <gool_> thanks much
[21:38] <NuSuey> atlef: okay, maybe i'll do it some other way.. i'll just grab the space.. create a new partition and mount and use the partition..
[21:39] <NuSuey> atlef: this way nothing should be f.cked up
[21:39] <dpurgert> ActioParsnip and my solution should end up doing the same thing (though his would have actually installed skype as part of the process)
[21:39] <obelix73> ciao
[21:39] <obelix73> !lista
[21:40] <NuSuey> atlef: but thanks for the help btw :)
[21:40] <atlef> np

[21:42] <deadmund> What is some good file recovery software that I can use on a failing (external) harddrive?
[21:42] <Gnea> deadmund: testdisk and foremost
[21:43] <Guest74176> testdisk
[21:43] <anders2_> ok, I just installed Ubuntu on my Nexus 7 device, but I am stuck in a initramfs shell
[21:43] <velko> deadmund, i have good experience with photorec
[21:43] <deadmund> Gnea: thanks
[21:43] <deadmund> velko: thanks
[21:43] <deadmund> no love for ddrescue?
[21:43] <Gnea> foremost will do what photorec can do, plus it supports a bit more than just image file recovery
[21:44] <deadmund> "image file" recovery?
[21:44] <Gnea> never used it
[21:44] <Gnea> yes, images, like jpegs, gifs, png, tif, etc
[21:45] <gool_> dpurgert
[21:45] <Gnea> PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost pictures from digital camera memory or even Hard Disks.
[21:45] <gool_> i think it downloaded
[21:45] <gool_> but i cant find the application
[21:45] <gool_> to run skype
[21:45] <Gnea>  Foremost can work on disk image files, such as those generated by dd,
[21:45] <Gnea>  Safeback, Encase, etc, or directly on a drive.
[21:45] <dpurgert> build-dep only grabs the dependencies so you can install whatever you're trying to
[21:45] <gool_> oo

[21:45] <dpurgert> sudo apt-get install skype will install it
[21:46] <Ubiquity4321> jamin: so i reconnected the eth0 nic
[21:46] <anders2_> Ubuntu on Nexus 7, any experts?
[21:46] <gool_> sorry, english isnt my language, must put thought into it
[21:46] <gool_> heh
[21:46] <Ubiquity4321> jamin: but i'm not physically connected to it

[21:47] <crazybrain> Fred is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[21:47] <crazybrain> what does that mean?
[21:47] <TheLordOfTime> crazybrain, it means that user isn't allowed to sudo.
[21:47] <jrib> crazybrain: it means your user has not been granted the ability to sudo
[21:48] <bekks> crazybrain: That you tried using sudo as user Fred who is not allowed to do so.
[21:48] <crazybrain> the original admin user account is not working
[21:48] <crazybrain> so i created a new account
[21:48] <F3Speech> Anyone tell me the correct commandto format a pat as swap "sudo mkfs -t swap /dev/sdb1" gives me an error
[21:48] <crazybrain> but whenever i try to install something
[21:48] <jrib> crazybrain: accounts can't sudo by default. You need to grant that ability
[21:48] <TheLordOfTime> crazybrain, creating a new account won't grant sudo.
[21:49] <crazybrain> how can i grant that?
[21:49] <jrib> crazybrain: add the user to the "sudo" group
[21:49] <crazybrain> how?
[21:49] <Ubiquity4321> jamin: apologies. It's a different box. I physically reinstalled the eth0 card. I am trying to not use this card, as it does not support wol (which the onboard nic does)
[21:49] <Gnea> crazybrain: visudo
[21:49] <NuSuey> atlef: meh, mac os works.. ubuntu works.. cant boot to xp ..and I don't see w7 entry in grub :P how to freaking boot w7 ?:D
[21:49] <jrib> crazybrain: log in as a user that can already sudo and run "sudo adduser YOUR_NEW_USER_HERE sudo"
[21:49] <velko> F3Speech, sudo mkswap /dev/something
[21:49] <gool_> why wouldnt apt-get autoremove work for me?
[21:50] <velko> F3Speech, and after that "sudo swapon /dev/something"
[21:50] <jrib> gool_: pastebin what actually happens.  We don't know what you mean by "doesn't work for me"
[21:50] <F3Speech> velko: ty
[21:50] <crazybrain> jrib: i cant run that user
[21:50] <crazybrain> it's not working
[21:50] <jrib> crazybrain: then choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu
[21:50] <atlef> NuSuey, your setup seems too complicated for me to get into
[21:50] <crazybrain> thats why i created a new one
[21:50] <NuSuey> atlef: true :P :( well.. my fault..
[21:50] <jrib> crazybrain: how did you create a new one?
[21:51] <crazybrain> well at that time it was working
[21:51] <NuSuey> atlef: guess I'll be using the magic of google
[21:51] <jrib> crazybrain: ok, well use recovery mode then.
[21:51] <anders2_> Ubuntu on Nexus 7, any experts?
[21:51] <k1l> anders2_: #ubuntu-arm
[21:51] <Ubiquity4321> jamin: i reconnected to the eth0 card  to download dhcpdump. I am now physically disconnected from the eth0 card and physically reconnected to the (nonworking) eth1 onboard nic
[21:52] <atlef> NuSuey, maybe rethink how your disks are setup and yes, google or this channel might give you your answers
[21:52] <anders2_> k1l, how do I go there? sorry.
[21:52] <bcbrown19> is there still a ubuntu flavor meant for netbooks?
[21:52] <k1l> anders2_: /join #ubuntu-arm
[21:52] <auronandace> anders2_: /join #channel
[21:52] <NuSuey> atlef: well the guys probably don't have the time, since mostly nobody answers If i ask :P
[21:52] <anders2_> thanks
[21:52] <goddard> does ext4 have a file size limit?
[21:52] <jamin> Ubiquity4321, I'm at a loss... you should see at least the outbound DHCP packet requests...  if you do, but don't see an inbound server response you'd need to verify that the request is making it to the DHCP server
[21:52] <TheLordOfTime> bcbrown19, not specialized, you can use the normal Ubuntu installer, or try one of the variant flavors of Ubuntu
[21:52] <auronandace> goddard: yes
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> goddard: yes, all filesystems do
[21:53] <jamin> I suspect the request is never making it off the box
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> goddard: its massive though, i wouldnt worry about it :)
[21:53] <goddard> 3TB ?
[21:53] <Gnea> goddard: 16 terrabytes
[21:53] <atlef> NuSuey, not to offend, but it seems your setup is somewhat unique
[21:53] <goddard> i created a new file system and formatted my disk but it is only 2.2TB
[21:53] <NuSuey> atlef: no offense taken :P
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> goddard: 16Tb is the largest single file size
[21:53] <atlef> NuSuey, good
[21:53] <velko> bcbrown19, no more. just grab one of the flawors and see if it suits your need
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> goddard: 1Eb is the largest volume size
[21:54] <Gnea> goddard: what's the problem?
[21:54] <Ubiquity4321> jamin: let me run dhcpdump
[21:54] <goddard> I must of done the formatting wrong because the volume is suppose to be 3TB
[21:54] <Gnea> "must have"
[21:54] <NuSuey> atlef: probably good, that I cant boot into windows.. more time in ubuntu.. WOHOOO :P
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> goddard: did you use 4k block size?
[21:55] <crazybrain> jrib: still not working
[21:55] <goddard> 4096 is the block size
[21:55] <crazybrain> i did that
[21:55] <crazybrain> by switching user
[21:55] <atlef> NuSuey, as long as you do not miss it
[21:55] <jrib> crazybrain: I don't know what you did to try to fix it.  And I don't know what "still not working" means.  Be more specific.
[21:55] <laos> Hi everyone. I installed LAMP through ZPanel, and while Pear is being picked up by /cli/ apache2/php.ini is not seeing pear, would anyone have any idea how to perhaps resolve this?
[21:55] <Gnea> goddard: what is the output of df -Th ?
[21:55] <crazybrain> jrib: i did sudo adduser fred sudo
[21:55] <NuSuey> atlef: just some things. and im trying to find alternatives for those in linux, or just run that with wine..
[21:55] <crazybrain> then it said done
[21:55] <jrib> crazybrain: what was the output?
[21:56] <crazybrain> but when i switched back to fred
[21:56] <bekks> I am wondering how that had been working when the admin user "was not working".
[21:56] <crazybrain> and try to run sudo it showing me same error
[21:56] <atlef> NuSuey, not to offend again, but kind of ooftopic
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> goddard: run:  sudo fdisk -l   what is output please (use a pastebin)
[21:56] <atlef> *offtopic
[21:56] <jrib> crazybrain: what exactly did you run?
[21:56] <gool_> http://pastebin.com/FQwQ4YCE
[21:57] <crazybrain> sudo adduser fred sudo
[21:57] <jrib> crazybrain: and then?
[21:57] <NuSuey> atlef: well.. sorry for trying to have a chat here :) I'm googling some stuff, but I don't wanna use the windows cd to repair the boot for windows, because that would f.. up my ubuntu boot :P
[21:58] <crazybrain> jrib: then it output as done
[21:58] <bekks> crazybrain: You said the "admin user was not working" - what exactly was/is not working?
[21:58] <crazybrain> sudo is not working
[21:58] <jrib> crazybrain: after it said "done", what did you do?
[21:58] <crazybrain> bekks: i switched back to fred
[21:59] <jrib> crazybrain: how?
[21:59] <crazybrain> and try to run sudo
[21:59] <Gnea> crazybrain: you have to logout and login again
[21:59] <anuvrat> installing on 2TB hdd, I have set bios_grub on on a 100 mb partition, grub-installed worked perfectly, still the computer complains that it can't find anything to boot from. What to do?
[21:59] <atlef> NuSuey, but it is getting late, need to go. good luck though. it is almost midnight
[21:59] <gool_> http://pastebin.com/hQ9m3XPv
[21:59] <NuSuey> atlef: good night then :) and thanks!
[21:59] <gool_> can anyone take a look at that to explain my issue? much thanks if so
[21:59] <atlef> np
[22:00] <bcbrown19> velko: ah thanks. I think probably a fluxbuntu would be best or something. Too bad. The old netbook flavors were awesome.
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> gool_: if you run:  apt-cache policy skype     what is output (please use pastebin again).
[22:00] <velko> bcbrown19, i was also a big fan. even ported the first one to debian proper
[22:00] <Ubiquity4321> jamin: so what do i do now?
[22:01] <Ubiquity4321> can anyone else help me configure my network?
[22:01] <gool_> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/YXRXC2UZ
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Ubiquity4321: does DHCP not fill the needs
[22:02] <jrib> gool_: to install skype, apt needs to install skype-bin but it can't.  This is usually because either you are using repositories not meant for your distribution or you've installed packages not meant for your distribution
[22:02] <gool_> does that mean the latest version of skype for linux doesnt work for the newest version of ubuntu?
[22:02] <velko> gool_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=773851 (unable to resolve host)
[22:02] <jrib> gool_: no
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> gool_: sudo apt-get --purge remove skype-bin; sudo apt-get install skype
[22:03] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: can you state your question another way?
[22:03] <gool_> actionparsnip
[22:03] <gool_> skype-bin is not installed so not removede
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> Alabaster_W: which question
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> Alabaster_W: ahh, nick change
[22:04] <Alabaster_W> [17:02:10] <ActionParsnip> Ubiquity4321: does DHCP not fill the needs
[22:04] <Alabaster_W> yeah, sorry
[22:04] <Maverick_Hunter> ActionParsnip: I get the error "nouveau.blacklist=1" when I add it to the boot parameters.
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> Alabaster_W: by default, interfaces will use DHCP. Is this not sufficient to setup the interfaces
[22:04] <jrib> gool_: pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype-bin; apt-cache policy skype-bin
[22:04] <TheLordOfTime> Ubiquity4321, mind *not* changing nicks quickly?  ;)
[22:05] <TheLordOfTime> like that.
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> Maverick_Hunter: you don't add the quotes. Just delete the:  quiet splash   and add:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[22:05] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: it's not working for some reason
[22:05] <laos> Hi everyone. I installed LAMP through ZPanel, and while Pear is being picked up by /cli/ apache2/php.ini is not seeing pear, would anyone have any idea how to perhaps resolve this?
[22:05] <velko> gool_, have you tinkered with /etc/hostname and/or /etc/hosts? the error you get indicates that you did
[22:06] <Alabaster_W> TheLordOfTime: i'm using kvirc on windows. It's automatically doing it. Let me remove that option
[22:06] <Maverick_Hunter> ActionParsnip: I didnt use the quotes, but I also didnt delete quite splash, is that important
[22:06] <goddard> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/y4atSpft
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Maverick_Hunter: it can help
[22:06] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: i'm sorry about the nick change
[22:06] <gool_> i did velko
[22:06] <Maverick_Hunter> ActionParsnip: I'll give it a go, thanks again
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> goddard: ok its seen as a 3Tb drive, that's good
[22:07] <velko> gool_, look at this forum thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=799896
[22:07] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: anyway, dhcp isn't configuring for some reason
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> Alabaster_W: is it wired or wireless
[22:08] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: it is wired
[22:08] <goddard> ActionParsnip: i tried using the Gparted gui to resize the drive and it cant
[22:08] <gool_> velko
[22:08] <gool_> i read that but there was nothing to read
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> Alabaster_W: are there flashing LEDs around the physical port?
[22:08] <goddard> ActionParsnip: it is seen as being a 2.7 TB drive to Gparted
[22:08] <gool_> how to i fix my hostname? im now aware of it.
[22:09] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: there are not
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> goddard: thats fine, you'll never get exactly 3Tb
[22:09] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: it's just a unblinking led
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> Alabaster_W: are there LEDs which aren't flashing, one green and one orange
[22:09] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: all are green
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> Alabaster_W: reseat the cable on both ends is a good first move
[22:12] <jrib> gool_: your hostname error is unrelated, but you can fix it by editing your /etc/hosts
[22:12] <jrib> !hostname | gool_
[22:12] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: reseated sir/ma'am
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> Alabaster_W: I'm a dude :D
[22:12] <Alabaster_W> running ifup right now
[22:12] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: can never be too careful
[22:12] <gool_> what should my hostname be?
[22:13] <Alabaster_W> something easy to remember
[22:13] <jrib> gool_: it's your choice.
[22:13] <Alabaster_W> ^
[22:13] <jrib> gool_: what do you have in /etc/hostname now?
[22:13] <vect0r> Lost the top bar in unity, that has the window name, close/minimize buttons, etc.
[22:13] <Heart^Killer> hi guys can someone please tell me how can i install clamav php?
[22:13] <vect0r> any easy way to restore it without rebooting or logging in/out?
[22:14] <gool_> i dont know where that is
[22:14] <gool_> :(
[22:15] <iceroot> my system (12.04) is telling me that my nameserver is <IP_ADDRESS>. how to find out of the "real" nameserver behind is <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS>? nslookup is always showing <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:15] <jrib> gool_: /etc/hostname is a file named "hostname" in the directory "/etc"
[22:16] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: ifup isn't doing anything i can see
[22:16] <Alabaster_W> let me try verbose
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> Heart^Killer: sudo apt-get install clamav    I recommend the clamav ppa for newer defs and engine
[22:16] <gool_> ok
[22:16] <Heart^Killer> hmm ok thx AcerAspire1ne
[22:16] <gool_> why would my current hostname
[22:16] <gool_> not work?
[22:16] <gool_> im confused.
[22:16] <DIL> it your host file you need to define it
[22:16] <Heart^Killer> thanks i mean ActionParsnip
[22:17] <jrib> gool_: probably because your hostname in /etc/hostname is not listed in /etc/hosts
[22:17] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: sudo ifup -v eth1 returns "ifup: interface eth1 already configured"
[22:17] <alex__> o:
[22:17] <Alabaster_W> that's soooo odd
[22:17] <jamin> Alabaster_W, sorry was away... did dhcpdump give anything?
[22:17] <gool_> well, my hostname is brien-pc
[22:17] <gool_> and i did cat hostname
[22:17] <gool_> and it said brien-pc
[22:17] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: pinging results in unknown host
[22:17] <jrib> gool_: yes, now check /etc/hosts
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> Alabaster_W: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install clamav
[22:17] <Heart^Killer> ActionParsnip it says E: Unable to locate package ppa
[22:18] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: i can't connect to the internet
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> Alabaster_W: you need the lights to flash, is there another cable known to be good
[22:19] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: re-looked. lights are flashing
[22:20] <gool_> im in cd etc, and when i type cd /hosts/
[22:20] <gool_> it says no such directory
[22:20] <jrib> gool_: cat /etc/hosts
[22:21] <gool_> jrib: http://pastebin.com/jVJNbv0r
[22:21] <jrib> gool_: great.  Do you see your hostname there?
[22:21] <tux-linux> hola alguien me dice como puedo meterme en ubuntu en español
[22:22] <TheLordOfTime> !es | tux-linux
[22:22] <gool_> if my hostname is brien-pc then no
[22:22] <jrib> gool_: so what should you do?
[22:22] <gool_> dance?
[22:22] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: lights are flashing now at least
[22:22] <gool_> i really dont know, should i change my hostname or should i add my hostname to that?
[22:22] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: but it's not connecting
[22:23] <jrib> gool_: dancing never hurts.  You can change "ubuntu" in your /etc/hosts to "brien-pc"
[22:23] <skp1> can someone telol me if there is a program for ubuntu that will allow me to make graphs, pie charts, etc
[22:23] <gool_> how would i do that? open it?
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> Alabaster_W: does the interface have an IP address?
[22:23] <gool_> im new to bash or terminal
[22:23] <jrib> gool_: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> skp1: libreoffice
[22:23] <skp1> ok thank you
[22:23] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: it does not
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> Albastos|off: try rebooting now, may just be good now :)
[22:24] <Alabaster_W> will do
[22:25] <gool_> awesome, i got that done
[22:25] <gool_> now should i reattempt to install skype?
[22:25] <jrib> gool_: you should pastebin what I asked you to pastebin before
[22:26] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: it hangs at "waiting for network configuration"
[22:26] <gool_> jrib: http://pastebin.com/QjUQf4Yb
[22:26] <jrib> gool_: I'll be back in ~10
[22:27] <gool_> ok
[22:27] <jrib> gool_: pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype-bin; apt-cache policy skype-bin
[22:27] <Alabaster_W> ActionParsnip: i have an idea. i'll brb
[22:29] <whostheroot> :) lolz
[22:29] <blargg> jamin, hey, I figured out how to do memtest. Hold shift at boot and the "load boot" question comes up. Answer No, and a boot: prompt appears. Enter memtest. The help command at this prompt clued me in.
[22:30] <blargg> jamin, thanks for encouraging me to keep trying.
[22:30] <whostheroot> sudo apt-get cmatrix
[22:30] <Ubiquity4321> ActionParsnip: my idea didn't work. i'm done screwing with it
[22:31] <gool_> jrib: http://pastebin.com/Gkq41jxr
[22:31] <Ubiquity4321> ActionParsnip: the only reason i want to use eth1 instead of eth0 is to enable wake on lan
[22:31] <Ubiquity4321> ActionParsnip: and this other nic doesn't support wol
[22:34] <jamin> blargg, no problem... glad you found a working solution
[22:35] <Ubiquity4321> i didn't find a working solution
[22:35] <dpurgert> gool_: the error is that there's nothing named "skype-bin in the apt repositories
