[00:00] <almoxarife> Cur10u8: no, you dont
[00:00] <Cur10u8> But I don't know how do it?
[00:00] <LovesLinux> ikonia so you can cluster cpu and ram?
[00:00] <ikonia> Cur10u8: please take your silly behaviour elsewhere
[00:00] <Cur10u8> I've lost everything
[00:00] <ikonia> LovesLinux: yes, there is resource distribution
[00:01] <ikonia> Chakotay_: ok, look in /etc/grub.d (again I'm working from memory here, so help me out a little)
[00:01] <LovesLinux> ikonia cool. Ive only used vbox on desktop so thanks for correcting my inaccuracy
[00:01] <Tisgy> laggy
[00:01] <Tisgy> very laggy
[00:01] <ikonia> LovesLinux: if you've only used it on a desktop - why are you telling people it's not enterprise level...when you have no idea
[00:01] <Cur10u8> good bye world ! wish u good luck Linux. I'was a linux lover.Good Bye !!!
[00:01] <ikonia> Cur10u8: ok - bye
[00:02] <LovesLinux> ikonia because I have experience in other platforms in virtualisation
[00:02] <ikonia> LovesLinux: yes, but you have no experience with virtual box, and the question was "is virtual box enterprise ready"
[00:02] <Tisgy> !ping tisgy
[00:02] <LovesLinux> ikonia ok so I got something wrong
[00:02] <ikonia> so telling someone "no - you need $Y or $X" is just you making it up from no experience or knowledge
[00:02] <thoonai> hey someone able to explain why creating user is stuck?
[00:02] <ikonia> I'd like you to stop that please.
[00:03] <LovesLinux> ikonia I advised on my knowledge
[00:03] <ikonia> LovesLinux: yes, you had no knowledge on the topic, so you made it uyp
[00:03] <ikonia> up
[00:03] <Chakotay_> ikonia: I found the grub text doc in /etc/default/ but it doesn't have any lines with those numbers in it
[00:03] <LovesLinux> ikonia I have knowledge on virtualisation
[00:03] <LovesLinux> and Linux
[00:04] <ikonia> LovesLinux: you have no knowledge of virtual box in the enteprirse, which is what the question was - so I can only assume you made it up
[00:04] <LovesLinux> ikonia no I made an assumption
[00:04] <ikonia> Chakotay_: look in /etc/grub.d (again you need to dig a little as I don't have an ubuntu machine here)
[00:04] <thoonai> hey someone able to explain why creating user is stuck?
[00:04] <ikonia> LovesLinux: right - so don't make things up/assume. If you don't know the answer ,- don't respond
[00:05] <LovesLinux> ikonia yes daddy
[00:05] <ikonia> Chakotay_: try a grep -R in /etc as I can't see the layout on ubuntu here
[00:05] <ikonia> LovesLinux: please don't get smart with me, you're missleading people with incorrect information and bad advice - I'm asking you to stop
[00:05] <LovesLinux> ikonia do you know how to compile a kernel??
[00:06] <ikonia> LovesLinux: yes, why ?
[00:06] <LovesLinux> ikonia how?
[00:06] <ikonia> why ? we don't support custom kernels here ?
[00:06] <LovesLinux> ikonia I know do you?
[00:06] <ikonia> yes,
[00:06] <LovesLinux> ikonia answer then :)
[00:06] <almoxarife> LovesLinux: you really should quit
[00:06] <ikonia> no, this isn't a "test" channel - research me and find out what projects I'm involved in
[00:07] <ikonia> you may get an idea that I can "compile a kernel"
[00:07] <almoxarife> LovesLinux: he can compile a kernel, leave it
[00:07] <Chakotay_> ikonia: OK, it shows /etc/default/grub
[00:07] <thoonai> hey someone able to explain why creating user is stuck?
[00:07] <ikonia> Chakotay_: ahh you got it, nice one
[00:07] <LovesLinux> ikonia dont put someone down who has a commitment to helping others then. Not everyone is right all the time
[00:07] <ikonia> Chakotay_: up date that
[00:07] <ikonia> thoonai: how are you creating it ?
[00:07] <almoxarife> thoonai: 'stuck'?
[00:07] <ikonia> Chakotay_: "update" that sorry
[00:08] <ikonia> LovesLinux: I'm not putting you down, I'm asking you to stop making things up / assuming things, and thus offering bad / incorrect advice to people
[00:08] <thoonai> hes nothing doing while creating user
[00:08] <LovesLinux> ikonia Im rarely wrong
[00:08] <ikonia> LovesLinux: 2 times in 2 question is not a good strike rate
[00:08] <thoonai> with encrypted home folder and no swap
[00:08] <LovesLinux> ikonia I see your point
[00:09] <Evil_Eric> almoxarife, i dont see why your getting onto lovelinux when it was ikonia who got rude on how he/she told LovesLinux to stop giving adivise they dont know about wich i agree but do not agree how they were asked and trolled on over
[00:09] <Chakotay_> ikonia: it says "command not found"
[00:09] <ikonia> Chakotay_: sorry what does
[00:09] <Chakotay_> ikonia: when I do sudo update-grub
[00:10] <ikonia> Chakotay_: hang on, why are you doing that ?
[00:10] <ikonia> who told you to run that / where did you get that information ?
[00:10] <LovesLinux> ikonia I was trying to give helpful advise though . The way I learned was trying possibility's
[00:10] <ikonia> LovesLinux: yes, it was bad advice and miss-leading advice, that is bad
[00:10] <ikonia> if you don't know, it's fine not to answer,
[00:11] <Chakotay_> ikonia: Sorry, I misunderstood you. I was reading that at the top of the grub file
[00:11] <ikonia> Chakotay_: no problem,
[00:11] <LovesLinux> ikonia I said vbox wasnt capable of doing something one as its an Ubuntu support channel assumed it was a desktop so what I said was RIGHT
[00:11] <ikonia> Chakotay_: the file is just a text file, so update the bad uuid with the good uuid first
[00:11] <almoxarife> Evil_Eric: they are both gone on too long, but come on, the nick asked if ikonia can compile???? that did it for me, i chose a side, i am bad way
[00:12] <Chakotay_> ikonia: It doesn't have any lines with the numbers we are looking for
[00:12] <ikonia> LovesLinux: no, he clearly said he wanted to run enteprrise servers
[00:12] <ikonia> LovesLinux: if you are unable to read the questions clearly - it's better not to answer
[00:12] <ikonia> LovesLinux: again - please stop trying to argue, I'm trying to cut you some slack here
[00:12] <LovesLinux> ikonia if your running enteprise dont use Ubuntu
[00:12] <ikonia> Chakotay_: ahhh, sorry, I thought you'd found the lines in question
[00:12] <ikonia> LovesLinux: agian - you're wrong
[00:12] <ikonia> so please stop talking
[00:13] <jrib> LovesLinux: let's get back to ubuntu support here please
[00:13] <Chakotay_> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1386704/
[00:13] <ikonia> Chakotay_: got to find the bad line
[00:13] <Evil_Eric> lol its all good im not siding with either im just tired of seeing it either way honestly i figure if they wanna continue the discussion they should take it to pm
[00:13] <LovesLinux> ikonia I now more about Linux than you do it seems
[00:13] <Chakotay_> ikonia: can you see where it's bad?
[00:13] <ikonia> LovesLinux: please stop trying to test me
[00:13] <ikonia> Chakotay_: sorry sorry, let me try to explain again
[00:14] <skulltip> how about adding an option on the ubuntu DVD to upgrade existing instead of either alongside or overlay it? Especially if you skip a few releases..
[00:14] <ikonia> Chakotay_: I'm not on an ubuntu box, so I can't do it %100 for you, so you need to help me a little
[00:14] <jrib> ikonia, Chakotay_: haven't read the whole scrollback but UUIDs are only going to show up in the generated /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[00:14] <ikonia> Chakotay_: in one of the grub configs, it's referencing the wrong uuid, which is why you are seeing the error you are getting
[00:14] <skulltip> or a way to keep the home partition without manual intervention, even if it's on the same partition?
[00:14] <ikonia> jrib: ahh, perfect, so where is it picking up the uuid when it generates the config ?
[00:14] <ikonia> jrib: it's picking up the wrong device.
[00:14] <skulltip> that would be a bonus feature for all I think.
[00:15] <ikonia> skulltip: raise a request on launchpad.net
[00:15] <skulltip> ok thanks
[00:15] <ikonia> skulltip: I'm people do read the requests
[00:15] <ikonia> skulltip: sorry not "I'm"
[00:15] <ikonia> skulltip: I meant, people do read the requests
[00:15] <skulltip> cool
[00:16] <Chakotay_> ikonia: I am sorry about that. Thanks jrib, I found it now
[00:16] <ikonia> Chakotay_: you got it ?
[00:16] <ikonia> Chakotay_: no need to apologise
[00:16] <Chakotay_> ikonia: yes
[00:16] <ikonia> perfect,
[00:17] <Chakotay_> ikonia: thank you for being patient with me
[00:17] <ikonia> not a problem
[00:17] <ikonia> Chakotay_: when you update it, re-generate the grub.conf
[00:17] <thoonai> hey someone able to explain why creating user is stuck?
[00:17] <anon_> WAZZUP
[00:18] <Freddie_> If only I had found this channel BEFORE I had started trying to connect my Ubuntu Server to the internet. Would've solved it a lot quicker :L
[00:18] <Chakotay_> ikonia: just to make sure I am doing the right thing... I am changing out the numbers that are bad with the numbers we got in terminal, correct?
[00:18] <thoonai> im stuck at creating user while installing
[00:19] <ikonia> Chakotay_: perfect
[00:19] <ikonia> thoonai: yes, you said, could you give a little more detail please.
[00:19] <thoonai> I just typed my name, the computers name, my nick, my password 2 times and then I ticked encrypt my homefolder
[00:20] <ikonia> thoonai: are you using the gui ?
[00:20] <thoonai> zes
[00:20] <ikonia> no idea on the gui or how it hooks in
[00:21] <thoonai> ikonia: yes
[00:22] <thoonai> I just dislike this gui installer
[00:24] <almoxarife> thoonai: the 'mini.iso' (net-install) has lots of install options, one being cli
[00:24] <AndroUser> Don't go into the Linux distro community they are just a bunch of trolls
[00:24] <Zelator> hi there.
[00:24] <Zelator> anyone available?
[00:24] <ikonia> AndroUser: you're welcome to /part
[00:24] <ikonia> Zelator: hello, 1400+ people here
[00:25] <AndroUser> No another Linux community I got trolled by there admins
[00:26] <ikonia> AndroUser: ok, well this channel doesn't need to hear about it please.
[00:26] <AndroUser> Ok sorry

[00:26] <rachmoninav> helo
[00:26] <tavoe> hey
[00:26] <tavoe> hey
[00:27] <jrib> AndroUser: you can use #ubuntu-offtopic if you still want opinions about distros
[00:27] <rachmoninav> Anyone know if Ubuntu 12.04
[00:27] <rachmoninav> has nmcli support?
[00:27] <rachmoninav> For power users...
[00:27] <jrib> rachmoninav: yes, it should...
[00:27] <rachmoninav> Network-manager client.
[00:27] <Freddie_> Does this channel cover only Ubuntu-desktop or does it also cover ubuntu-server ?
[00:27] <rachmoninav> Can't find it in the repositories...
[00:27] <jrib> rachmoninav: it's included with network-manager
[00:27] <ikonia> Freddie_: server too, plus there is #ubuntu-server
[00:27] <ikonia> (for specific stuff)
[00:28] <Freddie_> ok
[00:28] <jrib> !find nmcli
[00:28] <bulletrulz> um when trying to install remobo
[00:28] <Freddie_> I shall use that one tomorrow once I am able to get back onto my server
[00:28] <ikonia> reobo ?
[00:28] <ikonia> remobo ? what is that
[00:28] <bulletrulz> on lubuntu i get a dependicie error chkconfig
[00:28] <rachmoninav> haha

[00:29] <FloodBot1> bulletrulz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:30] <bulletrulz> ggg
[00:30] <Chakotay_> ikonia: I searched that grub file 3 times, and it has no mention of the bad uuid. I see the right one mentioned
[00:31] <ikonia> Chakotay_: great ! then you're sorted
[00:31] <jrib> Chakotay_: assuming you don't have some other grub installed somewhere else ;)
[00:32] <tavoe> is this an ok place to ask tech support questions?
[00:32] <Chakotay_> ikonia: I will restart the PC and let you know if it works
[00:32] <ikonia> Chakotay_: I'm sure you'll be fine
[00:32] <thoonai> ok im just depressingly depressed and install gentoo :P
[00:33] <jrib> tavoe: go ahead
[00:34] <tavoe> I've been messing with amd graphics drivers for days, and I think I've finally hit a new low. I'm trying to find some alternative to wiping the whole partition and reinstalling, and am almost out of ideas
[00:35] <almoxarife> tavoe: an alternative to a full wipe is a wipe of the drivers you installed so far
[00:35] <eted> Hello,i d like to ask something about sharing internet connection with other pcs .Is this the correct channel?
[00:35] <thoonai> tavoe: wheres the relation between amd graphics and wiping the partition o.O
[00:35] <thoonai> eted: if its related to ubuntu: yes
[00:35] <tavoe> well, I can't get a graphical environment to start up
[00:36] <thoonai> tavoe: dont even a shell via framebuffer?
[00:36] <almoxarife> thoonai: that would be, i give up, lets get back to default state
[00:36] <thoonai> almoxarife: gentoo?
[00:36] <ziodice> So, I'm going to assume that I am in the right place, the IRC channel for ubuntu. It IS named #ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu on a different partition awhile ago, and I realized that the "18 gigabytes" installation really meant I only got 18 gigabytes of disc space from my hard drive, is there a way to expand that?
[00:36] <almoxarife> thoonai: sounds sissy, no thanks
[00:37] <veryhappy> ziodice: gparted
[00:37] <eted> well, i v got 1 laptop and 1 desk pc.I use an outdoor ralink antenna to connect to neibhoors open wireless.How can i share that connection with the desk pc witch has Win 7 via cable?
[00:37] <tavoe> The best I can do is start a command prompt if I add nomodeset to the grub options. From there I have tried removing all the propritary graphics drivers and rebooting. Nothing. I then tried installing the propritary amd drivers from ubuntu's repos. Still nothing. So I used the live CD to reinstall without removing my personal files. Still nothing. I don't know how things wen't so wrong
[00:37] <thoonai> eted: in the graphical network manager. theres an option shared to other computers
[00:38] <thoonai> eted: like dhcp or static
[00:38] <almoxarife> tavoe: you can access a terminal? and have internet access?
[00:38] <ziodice> I'm sorry? I'm still quite new to anything closed to advanced computer usage, explain? Wait, no, better, I'll just use the great art of Google fu.
[00:39] <hanks> So confuised... x11vnc is going black every I stop moving the mouse, unless I lock my computer
[00:39] <tavoe> what the hell. Something good just happened. I don't know why. Yes, I can access a terminal. The graphics just appeared after I told it to cd (change dir). That doesn't make any sense, but i'll take it, I guess.
[00:39] <jrib> !gparted | ziodice
[00:39] <veryhappy> guys what can i do i have a notebook with an extra graphics card is there a possibility to use a mode like twin view for more than just 2 monitors? i want to use 3 monitors, notebook screen, vga monitor and hdmi tv and why isn't there an option for overscan for hdmi in nvidia-current-updates?
[00:39] <jrib> ziodice: note that gparted can also be used from the ubuntu live cd
[00:41] <almoxarife> veryhappy: there is an option for 'overscan' , but its hard to see if you are overscanned
[00:41] <eted> thoonai Thank you, i m goin to check it
[00:42] <veryhappy> almoxarife: no almoxarife i was still able to see the whole option site and there were only 2 options but no overscan...
[00:42] <almoxarife> nvidia placed the overscan fixer at the bottom of the page where one surely would not see it if they were overscanned, how about that! :)
[00:43] <veryhappy> almoxarife: oh... nice
[00:43] <skulltip> how do i clean this up when i do sudo apt-get update?
[00:43] <skulltip> http://pastebin.com/crpiprfA
[00:44] <Danawar> Hey Ubuntu #httpd pointed me here i have a problem that when some one uploads a file on my phpbb forums more than one mb it crashes the servers ethenet stoping all inbound and outbound connections taking the eth0 down the up fixes it but how can i prevent this from happening also, whats logs would i find information in i have checked syslog and kernlog and cant find anything! =[
[00:44] <ziodice> Um...how do I know which one of those 3 things that popped up is the one wit Ubuntu on it?
[00:45] <jrib> ziodice: are you on a live cd?
[00:45] <veryhappy> almoxarife: no, still don't see the option, i only got Digital Vibrance and Image Sharpening, where can i find it again?
[00:45] <ziodice> No, actually, I just installed it and ran it...
[00:45] <ziodice> the gparted, that is.
[00:45] <jrib> ziodice: you should not be resizing mounted partitions
[00:46] <almoxarife> veryhappy: which driver is installed?
[00:46] <veryhappy> nvidia-current-updates
[00:46] <ziodice> I'd prefer having a bit more space on this. Is there a way you'd recommend?
[00:46] <almoxarife> veryhappy: the number of the rev?
[00:46] <jrib> ziodice: yes, use a live cd
[00:46] <jrib> ziodice: (to resize your partition)
[00:46] <DarkAceLaptop> how do I set the compose key in U12.10? I just can't find it
[00:46] <veryhappy> almoxarife: where do i find it?

[00:49] <Guest99554> i just download wine, but cant find it
[00:49] <Guest99554> I am used to using 10.04 and this new design is not very good
[00:49] <DarkAceLaptop> Guest99554, that's very old
[00:49] <DarkAceLaptop> you don't want that
[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> everything will be very outdated and glitchy
[00:50] <Guest99554> well now I am current and running on an I7 with 8gigs and I am ready to go
[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> oooh
[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> I thought you were still on 10

[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> I'll just shut up
[00:50] <almoxarife> veryhappy: i cant access nvidia config via ssh, makes sense
[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> how do I set the compose key in U12.10? I just can't find it
[00:50] <michael_p> hi
[00:50] <DarkAceLaptop> hi
[00:51] <michael_p> what recommendations on desktops
[00:51] <DarkAceLaptop> hah
[00:51] <Guest99554> So I downloaded Wine. I want to be able to run Manycam to broadcast. Where is wine locasted?
[00:51] <veryhappy> almoxarife: why would you want to acess nvidia over ssh?
[00:51] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: open up gonme control center → keyboard layout → layout options (bottom left corner)
[00:51] <DarkAceLaptop> !
[00:52] <DarkAceLaptop> where's Gnome Control Center? lol
[00:52] <almoxarife> veryhappy: so i could see if my rev number is higher or lower than yours, i can see the overscan option
[00:52] <Random832> cpufreq-set won't let me increase my frequency
[00:52] <veryhappy> ah
[00:52] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: it's in the left bar, or use dash, or just run gnome-control-center in a terminal
[00:52] <miozoim> hello, i'm on xubuntu 12.04 dual boot windows 7 . Is it possible to replace xubuntu 12.04 by debian ?
[00:52] <moemoemm> Guest99554: Just right-click to the Windows application & click "open with wine program loader." You can find Wine from Dash (Ubuntu Icon on the left) >> type wine or winetricks
[00:53] <veryhappy> miozoim: you can replace all windows versions with linux
[00:53] <Guest99554> how do I get to terminal? i cant find it!!
[00:53] <jrib> Guest99554: type "terminal" in dash
[00:53] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: if you look for it in the left bar, it should say something like "system settings"
[00:54] <DarkAceLaptop> jrib, I got it, thanks!
[00:54] <veryhappy> miozoim: i'm sorry didn't read right... you can should be able to replace xubuntu with debian, but then you have to install the complete debian over xubuntu
[00:54] <Guest99554> oh gee!!! so I have to type in the name of the program that i loaded to find it? how do i make it on my desktop?
[00:54] <Guest99554> oh I see click and drag it
[00:54] <Guest99554> ty
[00:55] <miozoim> is it complicated or is it automatic ? Do I need to change things on GRUB ?
[00:55] <DarkAceLaptop> jrib, it's not working
[00:56] <DarkAceLaptop> my DE is MATE, if that changes anything
[00:56] <almoxarife> veryhappy: my current rev is 295.20 , its outdated for stability, i want the nvidia to function at all cost
[00:56] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: you found the setting but it doesn't do anything?
[00:56] <DarkAceLaptop> when I try to use the compose key nothing happens
[00:57] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: what's xev report for your compose key?
[00:57] <Guest99554> oh no!!! I have a new problem

[00:57] <Guest54966> Can someone help me out with killing X on Ubuntu 12.10?
[00:57] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: sorry, xev is a program you run in your terminal.  Once it opens, move your pointer into the new window and press your compose key
[00:58] <DarkAceLaptop> okay
[00:58] <Guest99554> oh I see!! it is sharing the screen. Where do I find the screen sharing thing?

[00:59] <DarkAceLaptop> seems a bit much for the channel
[00:59] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: nah, you can just tell me what it reports for the key
[01:00] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: like "Multi_Key", perhaps?
[01:00] <DarkAceLaptop> jrib, eh, already done: http://pastebin.com/EDwQgT2W
[01:00] <veryhappy> almoxarife: i guess i'll better stick with nvidia-current on the other pc where i rather need the hdmi output
[01:00] <veryhappy> there's still the option
[01:00] <veryhappy> thanks
[01:01] <veryhappy> take care
[01:01] <DarkAceLaptop> not anything like "Multi_Key" as far as I can see
[01:01] <DarkAceLaptop> it's probably my MATE though
[01:01] <eted> do i have to enter manuall settings on win pc when sharing the internet connection from Ubuntu?
[01:02] <dibblego> when I press meta-p, the monitor configuration changes with the vesa driver — how can I remap it?
[01:02] <almoxarife> veryhappy: i have nvidia with hdmi output (vid&sound) on xbmc-buntu for entertainment, i opt for stability over bleeding-edge
[01:03] <ethan_> Hey everyone! Can anyone help me to stop X on Ubuntu 12.10? The "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" command isn't working. I assume there is a different file that I need to stop?
[01:03] <seednode> Well, to just straight up kill it.
[01:03] <seednode> killall Xorg, maybe?
[01:03] <phunyguy_t430s> Is it possible to change the layout of the Empathy contact list? I'm not very keen on the enlarged layout and prefer it to be small icons, etc.  I have a LOT of contacts, and it makes it harder to browse when the list uses the larger icon size.
[01:03] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  its sudo service gdm stop
[01:03] <phunyguy_t430s> (12.10)
[01:03] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  if you are using gdm,., lightdm is the default
[01:04] <ethan_> who told me to killall Xorg?
[01:04] <almoxarife> Dr_willis_: i think you killed kenny
[01:05] <ethan_> killall xorg just made my login screen come up
[01:05] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  that makes sence.. since its a service...
[01:05] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  sudo service gdm stop
[01:05] <almoxarife> ethan_: you did ask i thought
[01:05] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  or sudo service lightdm stop
[01:05] <phunyguy_t430s> I would imagine it is lightdm
[01:06] <ethan_> ah okay. was the old command "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" or is that something different?
[01:06] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: what key are you trying to make your compose key?
[01:06] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  thats the SysV way.
[01:06] <Dr_willis_> ethan_,  Upstart is slowly replaceing SysV
[01:07] <ethan_> and the /etc/init.d/gdm is non-existant on my computer
[01:07] <almoxarife> cntr-alt-bckspace 2x will also get to a login post killing xorg
[01:07] <Dr_willis_> yes... the sysv method is getting removed with more and more services
[01:07] <ethan_> but thank you Dr_willis
[01:07] <ethan_> I am a noob at this and I'm slowly learning :P
[01:08] <DarkAceLaptop> jrib, that's one of the problems, yes :P I tried making it two, which doesn't work, and the other problem is that I need to set it in MATE's settings, which is under System>Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts>Option>Compose key
[01:08] <DarkAceLaptop> lol
[01:08] <sambagirl> Claude Van Dam night on Reelz! He uses Ubuntu so it's relevant!
[01:08] <DarkAceLaptop> anyways, it's working now \o/
[01:08] <ethan_> Dr_willis_, It didnt work
[01:08] <almoxarife> !mate
[01:08] <Dr_willis_> and the error message was? and the exact command you used was?
[01:09] <ethan_> gdm was not recognized. maybe I am not using gnome
[01:09] <Dr_willis_> lightdm is the default on ubuntu 12.10  as we said...
[01:09] <almoxarife> ethan_: lightdm probably
[01:09] <Dr_willis_> gdm was the default on older relases
[01:09] <k1l_> !ot > sambagirl
[01:09] <jrib> DarkAceLaptop: cool
[01:10] <ethan_> Sorry about that. I didn't catch on to that. I am trying my best to get better with all of this linux stuff :P
[01:10] <blackshirt> good luck
[01:10] <sambagirl> Sorry ubottu I don't socialize in private with bots
[01:13] <dibblego> why does 12.04 install a monitor preferences menu item, that links to gnome-display-properties, which does not exist?
[01:15] <XiaoBai> .....
[01:16] <hybridge> .\
[01:17] <XiaoBai> Which country?
[01:18] <cakeboss> Hey all. I have some issue with ubuntu booting up with a black screen. I tried nomode and it worked well enough to install, but that isn't working anymore. Can anyone help me figure out what I need to edit in Grub? I can tell you what the computer says when it freezes
[01:18] <ethan_> @cakeboss do you have nvidia or amd drivers?
[01:18] <cakeboss> ethan_ : nvidia
[01:19] <ethan_> @cakeboss I believe you have to do setmode nvidia or something like that
[01:19] <cakeboss> ethan_: can you give me some documentation? a tutorial?
[01:19] <ethan_> @cakeboss let me find it
[01:20] <XiaoBai> My English is not good who can help me?

[01:21] <COrdel^> Guys, When I boot ubuntu, it goes to a menu asking for Ubuntu or memtest boots, when i try to boot i get a INITRAMFS prompt
[01:22] <blackshirt> xiaobai, your teacher can do that, to teach you :d
[01:22] <COrdel^> it says cant find /sbin/init
[01:22] <blargg> Any dash app or hotkey so I can run a shell command without having to switch to terminal first?
[01:22] <ethan_> is anyone here using ubuntu 12.10 with an nVidia driver?
[01:22] <COrdel^> yes
[01:23] <ethan_> @cordel^ you are?
[01:23] <COrdel^> i have a gtx-280
[01:23] <XiaoBai> I am using the translation.
[01:23] <COrdel^> i dont know if ubuntu has it loaded correctly though
[01:23] <ethan_> @cordel^ did you install the Nvidia drivers manually?
[01:23] <COrdel^> no
[01:23] <Darkstar1> HI all. Good evening
[01:24] <COrdel^> my ubuntu is crashed
[01:24] <blackshirt> good morning
[01:24] <ethan_> if anyone here knows how to install nvidia drivers on ubuntu12.10 please message me
[01:25] <blackshirt> ethan_, are you have download it ?
[01:25] <Darkstar1> I'm testing out the virtuozzo container thing and managed to install 10.10. when I try to update I get the error: Err http://archive.ubuntu.com maverick Release.gpg  Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com' are the 10.10 repos offline already?
[01:25] <Ben64> ethan_: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[01:25] <mdik> hi. is it possible to stop ubiquity from going into the "slideshowmode" during installation? (because that crashes the program on an old machine i try to install ubuntu on)
[01:25] <ethan_> blackshirt, the installer told me that it isnt  going to work with my noveau kernal
[01:26] <ethan_> what can I even do?
[01:26] <Ben64> ethan_: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[01:26] <ethan_> ben64, how does that solve my problem?
[01:26] <blackshirt> the installer ? You mean ubuntu installer ?
[01:26] <Ben64> ethan_: that installs the nvidia drivers
[01:26] <COrdel^> what is the INITRAMFS prompt and how do i get out of it
[01:26] <moemoemm> XiaoBai: have you tried #ubuntu-cn
[01:26] <Darkstar1> ………. Anyone?
[01:27] <XiaoBai> This is the Chinese channel.
[01:27] <god_is_dead> what is the best linux version for my son?
[01:27] <XiaoBai> This is the Chinese channel.
[01:27] <blargg> I found it: Alt-F2. Opens from Dash where you enter command lines
[01:28] <ethan_> @blackshirt I meant the nvidia driver installer
[01:28] <XiaoBai> I want to learn the world.
[01:28] <blackshirt> god_is_dead, skolelinux,debian edu, or ubuntu edu
[01:28] <ethan_> how do I re-enavle noveau kernel?
[01:28] <usr13> Darkstar1: 10.10 EOL = April 10, 2012
[01:29] <k1l_> !cn | XiaoBai
[01:29] <blackshirt> ethan_, bring down your gui first
[01:29] <cakeboss> Can anyone explain to me whats going on. I have ubuntu 12.10, I edited grub with nomodeset. However after that code just floods the screen then the monitor goes black
[01:29] <Darkstar1> Shit!!
[01:29] <Darkstar1> usr13: 10.04 still going?
[01:29] <k1l_> god_is_dead: if you ask in a ubuntu channel, its of course ubuntu!
[01:29] <ethan_> @blackshirt do you mean stop lightdm?
[01:29] <XiaoBai> I know, but I want to learn english.
[01:29] <ethan_> @cakeboss what is it flooding?
[01:30] <usr13> Darkstar1: Yes, (10.04 is LTS).  LTS Desktop = 3 years
[01:30] <cakeboss> ethan_: I am not sure
[01:30] <k1l_> XiaoBai: for just talking better join #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:30] <usr13> Darkstar1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[01:30] <cakeboss> ethan_: daemons and stuff. Too fast for me to read it all
[01:30] <ethan_> @cakeboss sorry man i dont know
[01:30] <XiaoBai> I went to have a look
[01:31] <XiaoBai> #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:32] <usr13> Darkstar1: LTS: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[01:33] <Darkstar1> usr13: Thanks. Should've known and installed the LTS version
[01:33] <usr13> Darkstar1: Yep

[01:40] <mdik> blackshirt: were those wiki-pages directed towards me?
[01:40] <cakeboss> Cam someone please help me that knows stuff about GRUB?
[01:40] <seednode> Sorry, cakeboss, I use syslinux. I can still try, though.
[01:40] <seednode> What's the issue?
[01:40] <blackshirt> noveau was opensource version of nvidia driver ... If you want install binary version from nvidia, you should remove/disable it
[01:41] <cakeboss> seednode: Black screen when booting. I tried to use nomodeset, not doing much though. The most that gets me is some code flying by the screen. I have nvidia
[01:41] <ethan_> @blackshirt ty

[01:50] <XiaoBai> I also used the ubuntu12.10
[01:50] <blackshirt> no
[01:50] <d4rkh4nd8> Its never crashed, i installed from the site not the software center thou
[01:50] <ethan_> i installed from the site which rereouted to software center
[01:51] <d4rkh4nd8> It should have updated the deb thou then installed right
[01:51] <ethan_> i believe so
[01:51] <d4rkh4nd8> I would fist try a reinstall ethan
[01:52] <ethan_> are you using lightdm?
[01:52] <gaby> Hello - any body can help me how to apply the cinnamon themes - i have already installed it but i cant apply it
[01:52] <blackshirt> cakeboss, nomodeset was not working?
[01:53] <ethan_> d4rk, are you using lightdm?
[01:53] <d4rkh4nd8> kde
[01:53] <XiaoBai> .
[01:53] <cakeboss> blackshirt: no, it isn't
[01:53] <ethan_> d4rk, could that be affecting anything?
[01:53] <blackshirt> cakeboss, sound bad
[01:54] <blackshirt> cakeboss, what tip do you have trying to make it works ?
[01:54] <gaby> Hello - any body can help me how to apply the cinnamon themes - i have already installed it but i cant apply it
[01:54] <d4rkh4nd8> Im not sure but there is a differance so my guess would be yes
[01:54] <syntroPi> how would i install skype on quantal x64? I tried the one from canonical parnter repo but its broken (depends on skype-bin which is not avail)....
[01:54] <blackshirt> xiaobai, what is the problem ? More detail
[01:54] <cakeboss> blackshirt: I just fixed it, I believe
[01:54] <ethan_> @syntropi can you not use the download links at skype.com?
[01:54] <cakeboss> blackshirt: yup
[01:55] <syntroPi> ethan_, id prefer a repo since i get updates from it then
[01:55] <blackshirt> cakeboss, good luck ... Glad to hear that
[01:55] <XiaoBai> I want to learn english.
[01:55] <ethan_> @syntropi ah fair enough :)
[01:56] <cakeboss> blackshirt: If you could tell people in the forums that say nomodeset doesnt work. They might want to try setting "quiet splash noapic" I don't see that in the official explanation
[01:56] <blackshirt> xiaobai, this is not suite place for you ... You could go to english course places im your town
[01:57] <DeltaHeavy> How do I minimize a full screen VM from KVM?
[01:57] <XiaoBai> Our method makes me helpless.
[01:57] <cakeboss> XiaoBai: what language do you speak?
[01:57] <XiaoBai> English, is that we use now.
[01:58] <cakeboss> XiaoBai: what other languages?
[01:58] <blackshirt> xiaobai, this is ubuntu support channel, if you want to ask related to ubuntu,just ask
[01:58] <gaby> ok - how to change to Root - any help ?
[01:58] <ethan_> @xiaoBai this is a channel for ubuntu. You may need to find another resource for english learning
[01:58] <ethan_> @gaby su root
[01:58] <XiaoBai> yes
[01:58] <ethan_> @gaby or sudo (command)
[01:59] <gaby> ethan_ i need to change permission and i want to be root to be able to do that ....
[01:59] <ethan_> gaby, do you know your root password?
[01:59] <blackshirt> gaby, sudo was enough for your need
[01:59] <gaby> yes
[01:59] <kvothetech> gaby: su -
[01:59] <ethan_> gaby, su root
[01:59] <McPeter> sudo chown <user>:<group> /path/to/folder/or/file
[02:00] <McPeter> root is desactivated
[02:00] <ethan_> root can be activated on ubuntu
[02:00] <McPeter> sudo -i or sudo -s to use root
[02:00] <ethan_> i did
[02:00] <McPeter> ethan_, bad idea
[02:00] <gaby> i put my password - and it says that its wrong
[02:00] <ethan_> mcpeter, I did it out of impulse when I was frustrated
[02:00] <k1l_> dont use the root account. use sudo instead. that is the ubuntu way
[02:01] <ethan_> mcpeter, but its not like I am going to use it anyways
[02:01] <designbybeck_> So anyway to see thumbnail views in an Open or Save Dialog?
[02:01] <k1l_> and dont suggest it in here, because we teach the ubuntu way :/
[02:01] <blackshirt> default install was using sudo .... But i think, sudo access should be limited to some specific command/groups of command
[02:01] <ethan_> okay gaby then use "sudo (command)"
[02:01] <McPeter> k1l_, +1
[02:01] <WoC> gaby, you can also use something like "sudo su - root" which would give you a root shell
[02:02] <k1l_> gaby: just put sudo infront of the terminal commands you want to have root-rights to
[02:02] <McPeter> sudo chown <user>:<group> /path/to/folder/or/file
[02:02] <k1l_> WoC: STOP that
[02:02] <ethan_> lol
[02:02] <kvothetech> ethan_: yeah i unlock my root shell to..if you have sudo access you might as well unlock root for yourself.
[02:02] <ethan_> kvothetech: shhhhh they are thinking down on us when we talk about root unlock :P
[02:03] <Random832> WoC: just sudo -s or sudo -i for a root shell
[02:03] <McPeter> gaby, you install ubuntu ? or one other personne ?
[02:03] <kvothetech> ethan_: I think it's idiotic not to have root...
[02:03] <gaby> guys - please iam stupid with alll what you are saying now - please - simply i need to copy file in some folder and i dont have permission because iam not root
[02:03] <gaby> thats all
[02:03] <McPeter> …
[02:03] <k1l_> kvothetech: there is no need to have an activated root account on ubuntu.
[02:03] <DeltaHeavy> kvothetech: Why? It adds so much security.
[02:04] <WoC> but neither sudo -s/ii gives u the environment from root. or ?
[02:04] <DrDank> has anyone SHARED INTERNET connection from Linux to a windows based pc?? If so, could you give me some help??
[02:04] <kvothetech> k1l_:  server?  DeltaHeavy no it doesn't
[02:04] <ethan_> kvothetech: I believe it has to do with the goal of Ubuntu. most heavy users dont like that
[02:04] <k1l_> kvothetech: and if you are a linux-guru or uber_haxx0r doesnt count in this channel. the ubuntu way is to use sudo. thats it
[02:04] <McPeter> gaby, use simply : sudo cp /path/to/file/origin /path/to/file/destination
[02:04] <blackshirt> the need was limited sudo access
[02:05] <ethan_> and on this discussion of unlocking root. If you can do all the damage with sudo, what does it hurt to unlock root?
[02:05] <DeltaHeavy> kvothetech: Ever heard of root level exploits?
[02:05] <McPeter> gaby, ?
[02:06] <Tux_1> root is unlocked, sudo su
[02:06] <McPeter> stop …
[02:06] <kvothetech> DeltaHeavy: i'm not saying run root 24/7 but i hate typing sudo all the time..also run arch most of the time and never have any problems with it.
[02:06] <McPeter> pfuu
[02:06] <blackshirt> even you can limit of your root power under linux
[02:06] <DeltaHeavy>  kvothetch: sudo -i
[02:06] <gaby> McPeter:  what to write in stead of Path and to file - and so on - i got that you want me to write SUDO CP - but the rest of the command - i dont know how to change it and what to write
[02:06] <kvothetech> DeltaHeavy:  if you type sudo -i why not just use your root account?
[02:06] <k1l_> kvothetech: then go to arch. thats it. this is the ubuntu channel with the ubuntu way.
[02:06] <DeltaHeavy> kvothetech: You don't NEED to disable the root account, I'm just saying it offers al ot more added security
[02:06] <DeltaHeavy> kvothetech: Because by disableing root you close a lot of potential vulnerabilities.
[02:06] <syntroPi> This package here has broken dependencies http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/s/skype/skype_<IP_ADDRESS>.0-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>_amd64.deb
[02:07] <McPeter> gaby, wath do you want exactly ?
[02:07] <kvothetech> k1l_: i also use ubuntu
[02:07] <DeltaHeavy> There are pros and cons to both sides. I personally activate my root account as well.
[02:07] <k1l_> gaby: that depends what you want to copy to where
[02:07] <DeltaHeavy> Cause in all honesty I don't believe the threat is very big at all.
[02:07] <McPeter> gaby, give me wath you want copy and where
[02:07] <ethan_> k1l: not to disrespect, but just saying that it is the "Ubuntu way" isnt giving a real reason no to do it
[02:07] <gaby> McPeter : i have file - and i need want to extract it and copy it some where
[02:07] <k1l_> kvothetech: just dont suggest the root-account stuff here. that is all
[02:08] <gaby> McPeter : ok
[02:08] <Noah_> Is anyone available to help with a RAID setup?
[02:08] <kl4m> Noah_, probably yes
[02:08] <McPeter> gaby, by default extract your archive in your home folder
[02:08] <k1l_> ethan_: this is the supported way of ubuntu. thats why it has no pw from the install
[02:08] <blackshirt> even you can limit of your root power under linux
[02:08] <ethan_> k1l: fair enough
[02:08] <Dr_willis_> the forums have a HUGE amount of sudo pros/cons.. if you really want to do some reading.. and fall asleep.. ;P
[02:09] <k1l_> ethan_: if you dont like it do it yourself or use andother distro. but the ubuntu way stays the ubuntu way
[02:09] <McPeter> gaby, and after extratc give me the path where you want copy
[02:09] <McPeter> (sorry for my poor english)
[02:09] <k1l_> and to tell every newbie in here to unlock root is not the right way in this channel.
[02:09] <Noah_> k14m I've setup a RAID using 2 500GB partitions on separate drives. however, mdadm --examine --scan doesn't show them and my machine is only showing a black screen at boot after setting it up. It's Ubuntu Server 12.04 and I've tried just about everything I could find online already.
[02:10] <kl4m> There is just all sorts of good reason to keep root lock, you just need to *become* root on a machine, never login directly as root, particularily(?) on a server
[02:10] <Noah_> k14m *it, not them.. it's one raid
[02:10] <gaby> McPeter : i have file     W0RN-DPJC-8ENB    its in downloads folder- i wantto send it to  the
[02:10] <gaby> McPeter - Installation:
[02:10] <gaby> Extract two folders "Glass Mint", "Glass Ubuntu" into either /usr/share/themes/ (as root) or ~/.themes/
[02:10] <k1l_> im not talking about personal pros or cons. i talk about not telling newbies here to unlock it. because they come back the next day and have ruined the rightmanagment, when you are not here to support the newbie again. thats it
[02:11] <McPeter> gaby, for themes you can just extratc in ~/.themes
[02:11] <syntroPi> how can i install skype on quantal x64?
[02:11] <McPeter> gaby, ~ is your home
[02:12] <gaby> Mcpeter : i cant do it
[02:12] <kl4m> Noah_, I setup many machines per week with that setup :) Usually I put LVM on top of the RAID1, now that it's supported pretty much everywhere
[02:12] <McPeter> gaby, your home is /home/gaby ?
[02:13] <gaby> McPeter : yes
[02:13] <Dr_willis_> !skype | syntroPi
[02:13] <k1l_> gaby: you can drag and drop that with the file-explorer (nautilus) into the folder .themes (press ctrl+h) in your home-folder
[02:13] <doomlord> can ubuntu do ARGB transparency for gtk elements
[02:13] <McPeter> gaby, ok … you just push your file into : /home/gaby/.themes
[02:13] <Noah_> k14m okay..how should I set that up? I've already formatted the raid as ext4..it just doesn't show up in mdadm scan..?
[02:13] <McPeter> gaby, you don't need root
[02:13] <syntroPi> Dr_Willis, thanks but that does not work
[02:14] <excervo> gaby, just use nautilus then hit ctrl +h to show hidden folder
[02:14] <Dr_willis_> syntroPi,  theres blog sites like omgubuntu and webupd8 and askubuntu.com that may have info on the newer release of skype also
[02:14] <McPeter> gaby look that k1l_ say
[02:14] <Noah_> k14m something about my current setup isn't playing nice with grub I would guess..not sure where the boot is getting hung up though
[02:14] <kl4m> Noah_ oh right, grub... you're totally right
[02:15] <syntroPi> Dr_Willis_, the one from parnter repo depends on skype-bin (not avail) and the skype.com deb for precise x64 wont intstall due to wrong binary (i368 not x64)
[02:15] <kl4m> Noah_ try to boot on the other disk in the BIOS, when you're booted, do a sudo install-grub on each disk
[02:15] <Noah_> k14m I'm not booting to the drive though, I set everything up via shell..just using the drive as external storage
[02:15] <gaby> McPeter , i did as you said - but it doesn t work = still dont see the theme
[02:16] <Noah_> k14m would grub care if it saw a new external raid though? Something about my setup is freezing the boot but I'm not booting to the external :/
[02:16] <k1l_> gaby:  can you make a "ls -al .themes" in a terminal and show that to us in a pastebin?
[02:17] <kl4m> Noah_, Ubuntu installer would have setup GRUB on /dev/sda (the first disk it saw) and nowhere else, but the BIOS may not boot in that order
[02:18] <kl4m> Noah_, but on 12.04 grub supports raid1 perfectly well (in theory)
[02:18] <gaby> k1l_ , http://pastebin.com/3qGy5zxj
[02:18] <Noah_> k14m I don't have a working disk drive so I did raid1 setup entirely in shell, not the installer..
[02:18] <syntroPi> Dr_willis_ that problem makes the softwarecenter to crash hard... LOL
[02:18] <Noah_> k14m was booting just fine to /dev/sda previously
[02:18] <k1l_> gaby: well, go into that folder an copy and paste the files from the .WORN-... folder into the .themes folder
[02:18] <kl4m> ok, well mdadm --examine /dev/sd?1 shows you the disks?
[02:19] <k1l_> gaby: the need to be in that folder. not in a folder inside the folder :)
[02:19] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> How can i activate my vswap?
[02:19] <XiaoBai> Recommend good music
[02:20] <bazhang> !ot | XiaoBai
[02:20] <bazhang> XiaoBai, this is ONLY ubuntu support.
[02:20] <syntroPi> how can i force an i368 packet on x64 system to install
[02:20] <syntroPi> ?
[02:20] <Noah_> k14m mdadm --examine --scan in general doesn't
[02:20] <k1l_> gaby: the two folders "Glass Mint" and "Glass Ubuntu" have to be in the .themes folder, not the .W0RN-DPJC-8ENB (to be more precise)
[02:21] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> Hey #Ubuntu How can i activate my VSwap?
[02:21] <gaby> k1l_, ok now got them installed - but i cant or i dont know how to apply them
[02:21] <Noah_> k14m my apoligies..it does, I needed to be root
[02:21] <Dr_willis_> !swap
[02:21] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ok
[02:21] <k1l_> gaby: well, which desktop are you running?
[02:22] <Noah_> k14m sudo mdadm --examine --scan shows the array /dev/md/0 but the system still doesn't boot fully without a hard reset halfway through and a second boot each time I power up
[02:22] <syntroPi> is there a way to force dpkg to accept wrong architecture packages for installation?
[02:22] <gaby> k1l_, iam running 12.04
[02:23] <k1l_> gaby: with unity?
[02:23] <kl4m> Noah_, cat /proc/mdstat # does it show the raid as rebuilding?
[02:23] <gaby> k1l_, ubuntu
[02:23] <Noah_> k14m nope active [2/2] not rebuilding
[02:23] <McPeter> gaby, you use Unity ?
[02:23] <kl4m> Noah_, is it "(Auto read-only)" ?
[02:23] <holyguyver> All of the normal IP address changing things of dhclient eth0 or ifconfig eth0 down never work for me, is there any other way I can do it?
[02:24] <Noah_> k14m yes
[02:24] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]>  ~ How can i Fix this?
[02:24] <hybridge> sudo ifconfig eth0 down?
[02:24] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]>  /mnt/512MiB.swap: swapon failed: Operation not permitted
[02:24] <gaby> McPeter: i dont know - iam so stupid about linux
[02:24] <holyguyver> hybridge: that did not renew my IP
[02:24] <k1l_> gaby: can you show a "lsb_release -a" in a pastebin?
[02:24] <kl4m> Noah_ mdadm --readwrite /dev/md/0 # and check again if it starts rebuilding
[02:25] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]>  	 /mnt/512MiB.swap: swapon failed: Operation not permitted                ~When i try to VSwap, How Can I Fix This¿
[02:25] <Noah_> k14m no such file or directory.. odd mdadm shows as /dev/md/0 but operations only seem to work for /dev/md127
[02:26] <gaby> k1l_, http://pastebin.com/wsKnye7k
[02:26] <kl4m> Noah_,  yeah ok /dev/md127 or whatever is told is /proc/mdstat
[02:26] <syntroPi> anyone uses skype on quantal?
[02:26] <Noah_> k14m okay no rebuild after running it but auto read only no longer shows
[02:26] <Noah_> k14m should I attempt reboot?
[02:26] <k1l_> gaby: ok, i think easiest way is to install "myunity" and open it and then select the theme in there
[02:28] <kl4m> Noah_, I was wondering if it was refusing to boot because of a degraded raid... you know how to keep the grub menu open on boot?
[02:28] <k1l_> but gaby im not sure it its the right themes, you got there. they have to be for unity if you are using unity (which is the standard desktop on ubuntu)
[02:28] <Noah_> k14m I believe so..
[02:29] <Noah_> k14m at grub menu now
[02:29] <syntroPi> ubuntu is so great: my natty worked flawlessly but now expired support, precise has broken xserver and vdpau does not work, quantal has no skype...
[02:29] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> In OpenVZ i cant swap anyway to avoid this?
[02:31] <gaby> k1l_, got the myunity
[02:31] <gaby> so?
[02:31] <k1l_> gaby: can you give me a link to where you got the theme? im not sure if its compatible with unity
[02:32] <kl4m> Noah_ : Try to edit you default boot and add "vga=normal nomodeset" at the end "linux blablabla ... ro quiet" in grub, so the console isnt hidden
[02:32] <cakeboss> Hey guys. So when I try and install an iso as a vm in vmware it makes my screen go black and gives me some weird code on the screen. Can anyone help with this?
[02:32] <jesusemelendezm> I have a question on linux certifications, does someone have the LPIC1 here ?
[02:32] <gaby> k1l_, http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/themes/view/128
[02:32] <k1l_> gaby: while im looking at the theme you could start myunity and click on the themes tab, and choose the theme there
[02:32] <McPeter> gaby, mmh .. not compatible
[02:32] <bazhang> jesusemelendezm, thats not on topic here
[02:33] <jesusemelendezm> ok
[02:33] <k1l_> gaby: the themes are for cinnamon. that is another desktop, which is not the ubuntu one
[02:33] <ccc_> guys, do i have to install programs THROUGH Wine or can i just run the .exe directly?
[02:34] <hybridge> run the setup
[02:34] <almoxarife> ccc_: you would need wine installed to run an .exe program
[02:34] <gaby> k1l_, i have this cinnamon appplication -something like Myunity
[02:34] <ccc_> it is installed
[02:34] <almoxarife> ccc_: then run the exe
[02:34] <kl4m> ccc_, technically ".exe" are launched by wine and not directly executed, so all the same
[02:35] <ccc_> i copied starcraft 2 over
[02:35] <k1l_> gaby: but cinnamon is not supported from ubuntu. if you want that you have to ask the linux-mint support
[02:35] <ccc_> and want to run it in wine
[02:35] <k1l_> !linuxmint | gaby
[02:35] <k1l_> !mint | gaby
[02:35] <ClientAlive> I have a dual monitor setup and want to make it so youtube videos 'stay' fullscreen on the one monitor - even if I'm doing something on the other monitor. I'm watching programming tutorials and need to work in my ide while I watch. Thx.
[02:35] <hybridge> right click, properties, goto 'open with' tab, select option wine windows program loader?
[02:35] <Noah_> k14m I pressed e and added it as the last line but it seemed to have no effect..not sure if I'm placing it in the right place though
[02:36] <ClientAlive> I saw a web page that addresses exacltly my issue but it was for windows
[02:36] <hybridge> why wouldnt it stay full screen?
[02:37] <hybridge> make sure the setting 'same image in all monitors' is unchecked
[02:37] <syntroPi> ccc_ did you mark that exe as executable?
[02:37] <syntroPi> wine would reject otherwise
[02:38] <Stanley00> ClientAlive: how about using minitube, it's a youtube client
[02:38] <ClientAlive> hybridge: when you click any other window (on the other monitor for instance) it goes back to small screen.
[02:38] <ClientAlive> Stanley00: as in a separate app?
[02:38] <Stanley00> ClientAlive: yep
[02:39] <ccc__> i mean if i want to install windows apps, do i just clik the setup.exe
[02:39] <Noah_> k14m found it..hold on
[02:39] <ccc__> or do i have to open a wine app and run it through it
[02:39] <jesusemelendezm> ccc
[02:39] <jesusemelendezm> just open it
[02:39] <Noah_> yup asking if I wish to start degraded raid but not asking me for input
[02:40] <Noah_> (k14m)  yup asking if I wish to start degraded raid but not asking me for input ..then goes to initramfs shell
[02:40] <ClientAlive> there must be some configuration file for flash or something - so I can use my browser and have what I need. I have multiple tabs open (many related to the video I watch).
[02:42] <Stanley00> ClientAlive: flash does not work well on linux, minitube can play video full screen on one monitor, but it doesn't support youtube login.
[02:43] <hybridge> html5 works nice on linux
[02:43] <Noah_> k14m should I use these steps? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1864216
[02:44] <syntroPi> ccc_ if its marked as executable file (chmod +x) you can just lauch it via click and wine would execute it
[02:48] <Noah_> k14m not sure if you're still around but I got it working with the url I pasted earlier ..thanks for leading me down the right path
[02:49] <Dr_willis_> ccc_,  I find it easier to use the terminal and do a 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe'
[02:57] <ClientAlive> what command do I use to find a file on my system?
[02:57] <ClientAlive> if I just have the file name
[02:57] <Erin> ClientAlive, 'locate' works good
[02:57] <Erin> might want to do a sudo updatedb first
[02:58] <ring1> ClientAlive, find is also a good tool: find / -name filename
[02:58] <ClientAlive> Erin: So "locate <filename>" ?
[02:59] <Erin> ClientAlive, yup
[02:59] <ClientAlive> right on. thx
[03:01] <kl4m> "find is a good tool" is an understatement :) too bad the syntax is so awful
[03:02] <ring1> <3 find
[03:02] <Erin> I like locate my self but i've heard find is very powerful
[03:04] <Stanley00> Erin, kl4m: find is extremely good, and too good to do simple things
[03:04] <Erin> Yea it is way more complicated than locate for finding a single file, thats why I suggest he use locate ;-p
[03:07] <ring1> when using locate, you just have to remember that it doesn't search in certain paths, as configured in /etc/updatedb.conf ;)
[03:08] <hybridge> is locate written in assembly? seems fast
[03:09] <usr13> hybridge: fast as compared to ___________?
[03:09] <Donnie_Darko21> any help for install google earth 7 beta for 12 04
[03:09] <hybridge> as compared to file browser's search tool.
[03:11] <usr13> hybridge: and/or find....?
[03:12] <hybridge> nm
[03:14] <ty_guy_> whats new?

[03:17] <zz_worker> I have a problem, Disks are nearing full, but I can't find what's taking the space? Please help! http://pastie.org/private/5fcpr8pohj4ivn5srt61w
[03:19] <ring1> zz_worker, take a look at baobab
[03:19] <hybridge> do you have a gui disk analyzer?
[03:19] <mickster04> zz_worker: /root/workspace/app is taking 5 gb?
[03:20] <usr13> zz_worker: ls -ltrS    <will list by file sizes, largest last> ; du |sort -n   <will show directories sorted by size>
[03:20] <mickster04> zz_worker: du -sh ./* in any folder to see how big each folder is and you just need to follow the biggest one down until you spot something useful
[03:20] <zz_worker> hybridge,ring1 , No GUI , No X, Its remote:(
[03:21] <hybridge> hoam
[03:21] <ring1> zz_worker, ok, was worth a shot ;)
[03:21] <mickster04> zz_worker: just cd into /root/workspace/app and run du -sh again?
[03:21] <k1l_> zz_worker: use "du"
[03:21] <hybridge> its nice to find a channel with zero trolls
[03:22] <McPeter> hybridge, baobab
[03:23] <Darkstar1> I think there's a command to upgrade a distro to another
[03:23] <Darkstar1> ?
[03:23] <k1l_> zz_worker: maybe du cant "see" all files if it hasnt root-rights
[03:23] <Darkstar1> I want to go from 10.10 to 12.04
[03:23] <cloudrf> hey could yall help me out with xubuntu vlc?
[03:23] <ring1> Darkstar1, do-release-upgrade
[03:24] <Darkstar1> ring1: cheers
[03:24] <k1l_> zz_worker: ah, i see you are already root, sry im to tired :(
[03:24] <McPeter> Darkstar1, you cant' … 10.10 ▶ 11.04 ▶ 11.10 ▶ 12.04
[03:24] <usr13> Darkstar1: do-release-upgrade will only take you to the incremental path
[03:24] <Darkstar1> ok
[03:25] <Darkstar1> command not recognised :?
[03:25] <mickster04> Darkstar1: well sudo apt-get dist-upgrade might help :p
[03:25] <usr13> Darkstar1: but if you get to 10.04, you can switch to LTS and then go from 10.04 to 12.04.
[03:25] <zz_worker> mickster04 , cd into app , gives this http://pastie.org/private/ef8epr4vz5pnn43w2ezldg (which is no different)
[03:26] <McPeter> Darkstar1, if you want upgrade 10.10 to 12.04 i think is better you resintall
[03:26] <almoxarife> !ask cloudrf
[03:26] <mickster04> zz_worker: ls -ltra in that folder?
[03:26] <McPeter> Darkstar1, you must upgrade 10.10 to 11.04 and after 11.04 to 11.10 and after 11.10 to 12.04
[03:26] <McPeter> it's really long
[03:26] <cloudrf> i cant get vlc to play a dvd almo
[03:27] <mickster04> Darkstar1: just stick the cd in and you can keep your documents etc as part of upgrading>
[03:27] <mickster04> ?
[03:27] <Darkstar1> McPeter: aye.. remote vps upgrade
[03:27] <McPeter> outch
[03:28] <Darkstar1> must take this path.. Another QQ is it possible to go from 8.04 to 12.04?
[03:28] <krz> hi
[03:28] <krz> what laptop do you guys run ubuntu on?
[03:28] <Darkstar1> or must I get to 10.04 first
[03:28] <Darkstar1> ?
[03:28] <McPeter> Darkstar1, 8.04 is LTS .. you can upgrade 8.04 to 10.04 to 12.04
[03:28] <mickster04> !what | krz
[03:28] <mickster04> !what
[03:28] <McPeter> with no lts you must follow version by version
[03:29] <zz_worker> mickster04, Ah cool, looks like I have dump file in that folder which is talking 4G
[03:29] <mickster04> krz: what do you mean?
[03:29] <mickster04> zz_worker: alrighty then :D
[03:29] <zz_worker> Thanks mickster04 , Where can I send a beer ? :)
[03:29] <mickster04> zz_worker: NZ? :p
[03:29] <k1l_> zz_worker: but thats not a ubuntu? isnt it?
[03:30] <McPeter> Darkstar1, to upgrade 10.10 you must use old repository
[03:30] <McPeter> s/to/for
[03:30] <McPeter> and 10.10 is end of life ..... and 11.04 too -__-
[03:31] <almoxarife> !info libdvdcss
[03:31] <McPeter> almoxarife, maybe you find it if you use medibuntu repositor
[03:31] <McPeter> y
[03:32] <usr13> Darkstar1: To switch to LTS change Prompt=normal
[03:32] <almoxarife> !medibuntu
[03:32] <usr13> Darkstar1: To switch to LTS change Prompt=normal to Prompt=lts in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[03:32] <zz_worker> Where do rockstar DevOps hangout ? Is it appropriate to post Job Post here?
[03:32] <McPeter> almoxarife, hors try to install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:33] <McPeter> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:33] <McPeter> almoxarife, and after : sudo sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[03:33] <Darkstar1> usr13: Ok I'll try thsat
[03:33] <McPeter> usr13, Darkstar1 is on 10.10
[03:34] <almoxarife> cloudrf: you need this file installed libdvdcss, it should be part of the medibuntu repository
[03:34] <Darkstar1> I don't have that folder path.
[03:34] <McPeter> -__-
[03:35] <McPeter> Darkstar1, 10.10 is end of life ... you must use old repository to upgrade to other version
[03:35] <usr13> Darkstar1: Scratch that.  You are passed 10.04.   Sorry.  Disreguard
[03:35] <zz_worker> k1l_ : Its ubuntu on EC2
[03:35] <usr13> McPeter: Thanks for the correction.
[03:35] <Darkstar1> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade didn't help, somethings updated but the distro is still 11.04
[03:35] <Darkstar1> usr13: :) ok
[03:36] <k1l_> zz_worker: ah k.
[03:36] <McPeter> Darkstar1, change your official repository by : http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[03:37] <Darkstar1> ok
[03:37] <McPeter> and disactived other sources
[03:38] <serunu> i am having horrible time with mounting my external hdds. mainly my issue now is /dev/sd** changing from what i put in /etc/fstab. seems like everytime i come back to /media/ something has changed as far as whats mounted and what its folder name is. any ideas on any of this?
[03:40] <usr13> serunu: pastebinit /etc/fstab
[03:40] <serunu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1387023/
[03:41] <usr13> serunu: You see the line at the top, where it says, "Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier..."
[03:42] <serunu> usr13: i am familiar
[03:42] <usr13> serunu: use blkid value instead of /dev/sd*
[03:43] <usr13> serunu: And I would use mount points of your choosing, not /media  but just where-ever / what-ever you want.
[03:43] <serunu> usr13: i have been down that road also, seemed the unique id wasnt always the same either
[03:43] <usr13> really?
[03:43] <designbybeck_> my first time using shotwell with facebook... it joined the account, I saw my albums, made a new one, and it started uploading but seems to be hung after 3 images?
[03:44] <designbybeck_> the first 2 have gone
[03:44] <serunu> usr13: i am used to /media is there a benifit of mounting elsewhere?   And yes seemed things changed
[03:44] <designbybeck_> any ideas?
[03:44] <usr13> serunu: What do you have on these devices?
[03:44] <serunu> A/V mostly
[03:45] <usr13> serunu: Is there a catagory or some sort of name you would give them? (other than A42c05932c056222 or My\040Book ?)
[03:45] <usr13> serunu: Some sort of user-friendly name?  (something more user friendly than ^^^)
[03:47] <almoxarife> usr13: the gui filemanager usually have a bookmark sort of thing where one can give a name without getting all involved in the guts of the os
[03:47] <serunu> usr13: your saying give them a name that is simpler. i get that.
[03:48] <usr13> serunu: Yea, what would you name these two devices?  Can you thing of something?
[03:49] <Darkstar1> sudo apt-get install update-manager-core followed by sudo do-release-upgrade -d seems to be fixining it
[03:49] <Dr_willis_> Storage1 and Storage2  :)
[03:49] <almoxarife> Dr_willis_: media1/2
[03:49] <Dr_willis_> almoxarife,  better then 'PornDrive1000' ;)
[03:49] <usr13> Darkstar1: That is better than A42c05932c056222 or My\040Book :)
[03:50] <almoxarife> better?
[03:50] <Dr_willis_> If you set a nice Filesystem Label - the os will use that for the mountpointname. thats where the My Book is comming from.
[03:50] <usr13> ... but I'm real sure we can be more creative than that... Right serunu ?
[03:51] <usr13> Dr_willis_: Yes, but the point is, I want HIM to come up with a name.  One that makes sense to serunu
[03:51] <almoxarife> creative, the gui filemanager usually have a bookmark sort of thing where one can give a name without getting all involved in the guts of the os
[03:53] <serunu> i guess i never really cared, just used tab completion
[03:53] <usr13> serunu: sudo mkdir /Storage1   Then run blkid  and use the UUID for the fstab entry.  That's all you need to do. But use a directory name that makes some sort of logical sense (to you).
[03:55] <usr13> serunu: Instead of /dev/sdc1 /media/My\040Book vfat defaults 0 0  use UUID=0a85df06-a39a-4084-b807-e809bc810bf7  /media/My\040Book vfat defaults 0 0
[03:55] <usr13> UUID=0a85df06-a39a-4084-b807-e809bc810bf7  /media/My\040Book vfat defaults 0 0
[03:55]  * almoxarife keeps all iz media stuffs in /media dat way ez nose where to looks
[03:56] <usr13> or UUID=0a85df06-a39a-4084-b807-e809bc810bf7  /Storage1 vfat defaults 0 0
[03:57] <usr13> or UUID=0a85df06-a39a-4084-b807-e809bc810bf7  /Storage1 vfat user,rw 0 0
[03:57] <serunu> usr13: i will go with the unique id and see if that works but i was sure they werent staic....wouldnt be the first time i was wrong :) and i will graciously accept your tips on a clean file system
[03:58] <jaguar_> i like ubuntu os
[03:58] <Darkstar1> can't upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10.: No new release found
[03:59] <Dr_willis_> Darkstar1,  you have to tell the update manager/tool to look for non-lts releases
[03:59] <usr13> serunu: The key to file management is for YOU to make these decisions.  You make directory "Pictures" for pictures and "Videos" for videos, "Documents" for documents... etc.  So that the filesystem makes some sense.
[04:00] <Dr_willis_> Darkstar1,  was that a typo you ment 12.04 and 12.10 ? or are you really on 11.04 ?
[04:00] <Darkstar1> yeah I am atm.. was on 10.10 a moment ago managed to get it to 11.04
[04:01] <usr13> serunu: And I just use the root directory /
[04:01] <usr13> serunu: It doesn't matter, it's just simple that way.
[04:02] <almoxarife> usr13: alright already
[04:03] <serunu> usr13: it makes sense, im such a noob that i dont think to customize that way, i was just trying to copy the default way for best results. obviously no win.
[04:03] <Darkstar1> Dr_Willis: Got around it. Omw to 11.10
[04:05] <usr13> almoxarife: I made some mistakes, was correcting myself.  I'm sorry if we are discussing this issue exessively, but, sometimes it helps to give extra details.
[04:06] <kj4> hey all
[04:07] <usr13> hey
[04:07] <BC___> hi
[04:07] <almoxarife> usr13: things would be so much easier if everyone used KDE
[04:08] <usr13> serunu: Just keep adjusting the /etc/fstab entry until it works correctly.  Each time, you can just do,  sudo mount -a    to mount again.
[04:08] <usr13> almoxarife: Why is that?
[04:08] <usr13> almoxarife: I prefer xfce / thunar
[04:08] <almoxarife> serunu: those drives you are attaching are external, yes?
[04:08] <usr13> almoxarife: Yes they are.
[04:09] <almoxarife> usr13: thats my point, its all about personal preference, forget i brought it up
[04:09] <usr13> almoxarife: Maybe you would like to explaine a KDE trick or 2...?
[04:10] <usr13> almoxarife: It's up to you.  If you have something to contribute, be our guest.
[04:10] <almoxarife> usr13: no thanks, we kde types are low key
[04:10] <serunu> almoxarife: yes
[04:11] <usr13> serunu: Do you use KDE?
[04:11] <serunu> usr13: this is gnome, on my laptop, which is a pooor mans manily music server
[04:11] <almoxarife> serunu: so placing them in fstab is for ? dont they show when attached?
[04:12] <lickalott> is anyone in here that is also in ubuntu-server?  I don't want to crosspost.
[04:13] <escott> lickalott, crossposting is discouraged but this channel is a bit higher traffic
[04:13] <serunu> almoxarife: sometimes i need a remote reboot then they wont show. its like the usb needs to be unplugged/plugged. but i am not there. so no, sometimes they do not mount
[04:13] <lickalott> having an issue with NFS ( i think)
[04:13] <usr13> almoxarife: serunu  ...I use about 3 different thumb drives and I just plug them in, thunar pops up and I do as I wish with the files. (Pretty much the same as KDE, only a click or two less to do it.)
[04:14] <serunu> now sudo umount is saying the device is busy
[04:14] <Erin> whats the correct REGEX for any number between 1-20 ?
[04:14] <Erin> isnt it [1-20] ?
[04:14] <almoxarife> serunu: i have one of those usb buses with external power, keeps everything on regardless of the state of the machine, do you have something like that which is being used?
[04:14] <usr13> serunu: cd  (if it's a terminal)  Close it, it it's a file manager.
[04:15] <serunu> almoxarife: no i dont. two external hds with 3 partions are plugged directly into the laptop
[04:16] <usr13> serunu: You obviously have something that is accessing it (if umount complains that it is bussy).
[04:16] <serunu> usr13: not sure i understand you. yes im in a term. thats all i ever use lately. so i need to cd to where and close the terminal?
[04:16] <almoxarife> serunu: the hd's are external powered?
[04:17] <serunu> almoxarife: yea, plugged into the wall
[04:17] <usr13> serunu: cd  (cd buy itself (with no arguments) will change directory to your home dir).
[04:18] <usr13> serunu: Or, you can close the terminal and use another.
[04:18] <usr13> serunu: pwd  will tell you where you are at.
[04:18] <usr13> pwd - print name of current/working directory
[04:19] <crimsonmane> IdleOne: might i have a brief conversation with you in private?
[04:19] <serunu> usr13: i am remote into this computer that i am communicating with.
[04:19] <nowayride> Is anyone good with xrandr and debugging display issues?
[04:19] <IdleOne> crimsonmane: anytime
[04:19] <usr13> serunu: .... same situation.
[04:19] <escott> nowayride, im sure someone is
[04:20] <serunu> i know pwd, not sure why where i am matters. as long as im not in /folder i should be able to sudo umount /media/folder correct?
[04:20] <usr13> serunu: That is correct
[04:20] <nowayride> VGA produces 1920x1080 but it gets horizontally scrunched, HDMI has the typical zoomed in effect but replicating its modeline from Xorg log results in something completely different Modeline "1920x1080"x0.0   74.25  1920 2558 2602 2750  1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync (27.0 kHz)
[04:20] <serunu> usr13: i am using screen so im not sure why closing the terminal helps, sorry for the confusion
[04:20] <escott> serunu, any open fd on that partition could prevent the umount
[04:20] <almoxarife> serunu: really confused yet? :)
[04:21] <serunu> almoxarife: very, but i am trying
[04:21] <usr13> serunu: you can use -f  (umount -f will force un-mount)
[04:21] <usr13> serunu: but better hope you are not writing to it at the time.
[04:21] <serunu> anyway to tell what may be makeing it busy?
[04:22] <usr13> serunu: lsof will tell you what open files there are, (losf |grep mount/point or.....)
[04:22] <JonJoey> What's the proper way to log out when you need to use "sudo -i" ?
[04:22] <JonJoey> needed*
[04:23] <escott> JonJoey, exit
[04:23] <JonJoey> thanks, I was worried everything might logout/shutdown if I did that. This time I just "X"d the terminal session, but now I know for next time.
[04:23] <nowayride> If I use CVT values at all xrandr results in a picture that looks like it got crunched to  the right (left black bar)
[04:23] <escott> nowayride, the monitor might be zooming on the HDMI so check the config of the monitor
[04:24] <nowayride> TV* and there's no "PC" mode for HDMI on it :( the closest one half cuts off the dock
[04:24] <serunu> usr13: i hit that when i saw the error but it spit out pages of text, i didnt know how to interput
[04:24] <escott> JonJoey, all your are "exit"ing is /bin/bash
[04:24] <usr13> serunu: For instance:  lsof |grep disk-1  (If it is mounted /media/disk-1) and it will let you know if there is a terminal open that has cd'd to it.
[04:24] <suhaib> yea that one seems more reasonable http://pastebin.com/xqtUYXmV
[04:25] <nowayride> IDK HDMI is producing "close" xrandr numbers but cvt is WAY off, unless there's something I'm suppose to do with - or + vsync or hsync
[04:25] <suhaib> IGNORE ME WRONG CHANNEL
[04:25] <suhaib> SORRY
[04:25] <serunu> usr13: ahh, ok, that i understand. i need to understand grep better... thanks
[04:26] <serunu> im going to edit my fstab with the uuid and hope all goes well for a while. Thanks guys.
[04:26] <usr13> serunu: (Since I use xfce, if I pliug in a drive, it will auto-mount to /media/disk-1  If I plugin two more, they will be /media/disk-2 and /media/disk-3)
[04:26] <ike2345> Good day- I am having a little technical difficulty with a new install (read: new user). I installed 12.10 and was given Administrator Permissions on my only user account. First thing I did was make myself a standard user since sudo has always worked for me to accomplish admin tasks through Terminal. However, I am having difficulties modifying Network Connections and unlocking accounts through System Settings. Can anyone help me understand what I have done
[04:27] <escott> ike2345, what?
[04:27] <escott> ike2345, so you were admin and then removed yourself from the admin/sudo group? so how are you going to admin the machine
[04:27] <usr13> ike2345: From the new user account....?
[04:27] <ike2345> yes, that is my exact thought, escott
[04:28] <escott> ike2345, if you really want to have an admin account that can sudo and an account that cannot sudo you need to create a second account (uid 1001) and make that not be an admin account, but you must have one admin account
[04:28] <ike2345> oh man- best steps forward? clean install?
[04:29] <escott> ike2345, is this 12.10 or 12.04?
[04:29] <ike2345> 12.10
[04:29] <escott> ike2345, boot to recovery and run "usermod -a -G sudo "your_username"
[04:29] <escott> ike2345, don't forget the "-a"
[04:30] <serunu> usr13: thats great, when you have to reboot they always show back up? thats where my problem lies. as soon as i get a bigger hd i am getting rid of ubuntu 12
[04:30] <ike2345> ok- that is all I need to do to restore admin permissions, escott?
[04:30] <escott> ike2345, that will put you back in the sudo/admin group and you can then create (if you desire it) a non-priv account
[04:30] <Slimbeep> hi
[04:30] <serunu> in favor of mediabuntu or whatever its called
[04:30] <ike2345> thank you very much, escott
[04:30] <almoxarife> one thing i will give 'Mint', no insta root access on recovery
[04:31] <escott> almoxarife, is that suppose to be a good thing?
[04:31] <usr13> serunu: Yes, they will always be mounted there on the same mount point.
[04:31] <almoxarife> escott: from a security standpoint, yes
[04:31] <Slimbeep> Im trying to enable my GPU on my server so that I can bitcoin mine, I installed fglrx and xorg as well as the AMD development kit for the onboard ATI card, but I have no idea how to enable the gpu
[04:31] <serunu> usr13: mine arent
[04:31] <escott> almoxarife, sure it is
[04:32] <usr13> escott: Should that be  "usermod -a -G admin "your_username"?
[04:32] <trism> except that you can just mount the partition from a livecd so it adds no security
[04:32] <escott> usr13, 12.10 its "sudo"
[04:33] <usr13> escott: Ok.  Thanks info.
[04:33] <escott> trism, thats hardly being creative... what about changing init to /bin/bash
[04:33] <trism> escott: indeed
[04:33] <escott> usr13, yeah a bit of a surprise... but more in line with debian
[04:34] <escott> Slimbeep, modprobe fglrx should be all you need
[04:34] <usr13> escott: I have 10.04.4 and 11.10 here... so, Im a bit behind the times. (..for few more months anyway.)
[04:35] <usr13> escott: ... also good info.  I didn't know that was the debian-way ....
[04:35] <escott> usr13, so im told
[04:36] <usr13> escott: I haven't had a Debian box in a while now.
[04:36] <Darkstar1> upgrading the 8.04 vm  to lucid just prompted me to change to dash… worth it?
[04:36] <Slimbeep> thanks escott
[04:38] <rumpe1> Darkstar1, upgrading to 10.04?
[04:38] <Darkstar1> yeah. a 8.04 vm
[04:38] <rumpe1> Darkstar1, well.. dash is like "bash light" for booting the system. You still can use bash after that. (afaik)
[04:39] <Darkstar1> aahh ok
[04:39] <Darkstar1> just kept bash anyways
[04:39] <escott> Darkstar1, you don't use dash for interactive use
[04:39] <escott> unless you are a masochist
[04:39] <rumpe1> ... or awesome
[04:39] <escott> but it is designed to be more POSIX compliant than bash
[04:40] <escott> or rather designed to be POSIX compliant and not much else
[04:41] <escott> rumpe1, i thought 1337 HAXORs injected shell code directly into init ;)
[04:42] <escott> Darkstar1, ie the concern is if you wrote a custom init script that requires bash you might break it changing to dash
[04:44] <Darkstar1> Don't have time to experiment anyways, so I'll forget I ever came across the prompt :)
[04:47] <crimsonmane> Darkstar1: It is always recommended to perform a fresh install when going between version numbers.
[04:48] <donavan01> hey is there a way to make he side bar hide itself when using the unity launcher
[04:50] <ike2345> escott, thanks- your advice really helped get me back working again.
[04:50] <thomaswonderful> Hi everyone!
[04:51] <escott> ike2345, your life will be easier if you just use the user in the "sudo" group, but you can setup a user who is not in the "sudo" group in which case you have to logout/login as the admin user to install software/update/mantain the system
[04:52] <ike2345> escott, thanks again- I am sure that I will be back with more questions in the future
[05:00] <Darkstar1> upgraded to lucisystem restart and it's frozen :(
[05:00] <crimsonmane> Darkstar1: It is always recommended to perform a fresh install when going between version numbers.
[05:00] <thomaswonderful> Hi, I am new to Ubuntu, nice to be here!:)
[05:03] <thomaswonderful> Darkstar1: I haven't heard lucisystem before. Tell me what's lucisystem, please.
[05:05] <crimsonmane> thomaswonderful: that's a typo he did.
[05:06] <thomaswonderful> crimsonmane: thanks.
[05:07] <Jordan_U> crimsonmane: Darkstar1: It is not always recommended to perform a fresh install when upgrading to a new version. The ability to upgrade is there for a reason, and I have taken many machines through many upgrades.
[05:07] <crimsonmane> I've done it too, Jordan_U, but i'm 99.9% sure the website says it's recommended to do a fresh install from one version to another
[05:08] <Jordan_U> crimsonmane: Please link to the page where you found that recommendation. I don't believe there is any such recommendation in any official documentation / page.
[05:08] <animal> I just re-install every 4 months when I've finally fawked my system up enough. Keeps everything nice. <3
[05:08] <almoxarife> oh dear, we have a divergence of opinion
[05:09] <thomaswonderful> crimsonmane:  may i ask you what version of ubuntu you use?  However would you otherwise expect to end up with an "amazon" button on your launchbar!?
[05:11] <crimsonmane> Jordan_U: perhaps it's outdated. I thought it was that way back in 10.04 but it's obviously not that at this time. thomaswonderful i don't use ubuntu.
[05:12] <almoxarife> http://askubuntu.com/questions/5466/is-a-clean-install-better-than-upgrading <--to further confuse
[05:12] <thomaswonderful> animal: I am not sure, because I am totally new to Ubuntu myself. I purchased a ubuntu book, a nice installation cd included.
[05:12] <crimsonmane> almoxarife: those answers are user-generated, aren't they? try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades
[05:13] <thomaswonderful> I have tried many linux systems so far. Ubuntu is the best!
[05:14] <animal> Well, ubuntu have it's perks. And drawbacks.
[05:15] <almoxarife> crimsonmane: user generated yes, is askubuntu.com a conical entity?
[05:15] <animal> Also, thomaswonderful, if you wanna check your version you may use the button in your upper right, the one with the shutdown menu, and click "about this computer"
[05:16] <crimsonmane> almoxarife: yes
[05:17] <thomaswonderful> Well, it works just like my Windows desktop, no need to start from scratch. I love it!
[05:20] <thomaswonderful> Windows users can use Linux Ubuntu right away, no need extra training :)
[05:21] <thomaswonderful> After all, it's free. No product key required to activate Ubuntu products.
[05:21] <escott> thomaswonderful, we are glad things are working out for you but this is a support channel, so we prefer actual questions. #ubuntu-offtopic you just want to chat
[05:22] <thomaswonderful> thanks
[05:23] <almoxarife> i have a rekonq question, where does it get url configuration?
[05:24] <almoxarife> i have a rekonq question, where does it get url configuration? i meant (uri) to be specific
[05:33] <thomaswonderful> almoxarife:  what version of rekonq browser you use right now?
[05:34] <almoxarife> thomaswonderful: rekonq 1.3  on kde 4.9.3
[05:34] <thomaswonderful> my ubuntu does not install rekonq for me
[05:35] <almoxarife> thomaswonderful: you dont want to do that
[05:35] <thomaswonderful> almoxarife: tell me more about rekonq url question, I am interested to know
[05:35] <almoxarife> thomaswonderful: installing rekonq would bring in about 2/3 to 3/4 of kde, unless you want kde :)
[05:38] <thomaswonderful> I read about KDE from my ubuntu book a few days ago
[05:38] <almoxarife> thomaswonderful: its just that, chrome uses xdg, konqueror uses mimetype, rekonq uses ?????
[05:39] <almoxarife> thomaswonderful: you will want to go KDE when you decide that you just cant get enough configuration out of unity/gnome
[05:41] <almoxarife> thomaswonderful: rekonq is my 'play' browser, i noticed that it does not do everything i wanted, so i asked in #kde and #kubuntu and #rekonq, turns out the question is tough to answer, and beyond my meager brain cell
[05:42] <superfake123> anyone know what is going on with http://kernel.ubuntu.com/ ?
[05:42] <Justin_jtb7rmv> how do you setting up shall server in ubuntu?
[05:42] <escott> almoxarife, and you come back to gnome/unity when you realize you are spending all your time trying to understand what those config options do. sounds like you are halfway there ;)
[05:42] <escott> Justin_jtb7rmv, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[05:43] <almoxarife> escott: i dont come back, for real browsing i insist on chromium
[05:44] <almoxarife> escott: its just something to kill time, when i finally get to the answer i will have rekonq doing what konqueror and chromium do, its the little things :)
[05:46] <ClientAlive> I want to make something for vlc to save streaming video from the internet only to do it in batch - ie: a list of url's and the process runs through and save each/every util all in the list are saved. Any opinion on how involved something like that may be? Heads up on the basic tasks that would have to be undertaken?
[05:46] <almoxarife> Justin_jtb7rmv: since you have asked the question a few times, its 'shell'  btw, what are you trying to do?
[05:46] <rumpe1> ClientAlive, do you have the exact urls of the streams?
[05:47] <rumpe1> ClientAlive, you should look into "wget". you could feed it a list of urls (in a file) using pipes in bash, using xargs or maybe wget itself even offers that as an option
[05:48] <almoxarife> ClientAlive: if d/l'ing the streams is the priority, forget vlc, 'wget' them
[05:48] <almoxarife> what rumpe1 said :)
[05:50] <escott> ClientAlive, it really depends on where you are getting these streams from
[05:51] <ClientAlive> rumpe1: escott: getting them from youtube - a series of 57 java programming tutorials (then there are series on other programming stuff after that). Playing them in vlc allows me to view them in fullscreen and stay in fullscreen while I work on my other monitor in the ide.
[05:51] <ClientAlive> rumpe1: wget works for streaming media?
[05:52] <escott> !info youtube-dl
[05:52] <escott> ClientAlive, so the answer is hard... very very hard
[05:52] <escott> ClientAlive, wget does RTSP last i checked... thats about it
[05:52] <ClientAlive> escott: hmm.
[05:52] <rumpe1> ClientAlive, that youtube-dl uses wget (afaik)
[05:52] <media-centre> hey guys
[05:52] <rumpe1> ClientAlive, wget is the swiss knife of downloading ^^
[05:52] <escott> ClientAlive, but youtube isn't actually streaming
[05:53] <ClientAlive> well I could do a test with one vid using wget. See if it works.
[05:53] <media-centre> does anyone know how to get the 3 buttons on the right side instead of the left
[05:53] <escott> ClientAlive, sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
[05:53] <almoxarife> its only streaming if you are actively watching and caching,
[05:53] <ClientAlive> ok
[05:53] <escott> ClientAlive, i was kidding about this being hard... its already been written for you
[05:54] <ClientAlive> escott: does it work in batch tho?
[05:54] <media-centre> any one
[05:54] <DrManhattan> weird, the nvidia-current package doesn't give me any kinda console readout when booting in text mode, but the nvidia-experimental-310 does.
[05:54] <escott> ClientAlive, you batch it. while [[ $ARGC -gt 1 ]] do youtube-dl $1; shift; loop
[05:55] <media-centre> hallo can i get some help here
[05:55] <media-centre> does anyone know how to get the 3 buttons on the right side instead of the left
[05:55] <ClientAlive> holy crap I have no idea how to write some command like that - it's like looking at greek
[05:56] <escott> ClientAlive, its $# not $ARGC my bad
[05:56] <media-centre> ok nevermind ill come back when its not busy
[05:56] <ClientAlive> escott: can you explain that command in a way I could replace parts of it with the urls - or better yet - a file of the urls?
[05:57] <DrManhattan> im very disappointed in the nvidia-current package! WAH!
[05:57] <DrManhattan> especially considering the 310's ARE the current drivers - the LTS ones
[05:58] <escott> ClientAlive, for all i know youtube-dl can do batch its an easy thing for them to add to it. but if it doesn't you put that in a script call it youtube-dl-batch.sh and put it in your ~/bin. then you run it and put all the urls on the command line. it passes the first to youtube-dl and then "eats it" with shift
[05:59] <ClientAlive> escott: ok, I'll try it out. thx
[06:02] <kiwi-foobar> Hello All
[06:02] <Justin_jtb7rmv> talk guys tomorrow night or tuesday
[06:03] <Justin_jtb7rmv> talk guys tomorrow night or tuesday
[06:03] <kiwi-foobar> I have a problem with an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 can anyone here help
[06:03] <escott> kiwi-foobar, maybe
[06:04] <Solus> Greetings. Is anyone capable of assisting me awake?
[06:04] <kiwi-foobar> It looks like the window manager does not start correctly - I have almost no gui access but I can reboot into root shell
[06:05] <escott> kiwi-foobar, probably a graphics card issue. nvidia or amd graphics? prop drivers? how did you install them?
[06:06] <escott> Solus, yes/no/maybe/he's dead jim
[06:06] <kiwi-foobar> I installed ccsm and check to see if the unity plug in was installed enabled, which it is
[06:07] <Solus> escott: Ubuntu left the GRUB loader which is harder to remove than any virus I've ever encountered
[06:07] <Solus> running windows 7
[06:07] <Solus> dual-booted win7 and Ubuntu
[06:07] <Solus> or rather ran Ubuntu
[06:07] <kiwi-foobar> I removed my nvidia card but still no go
[06:07] <escott> Solus, how is grub hard to remove. just install the bootloader you want
[06:08] <bjrohan> Hey there. Many times when running a program I receive the following error:
[06:08] <bjrohan> reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.
[06:08] <escott> kiwi-foobar, if you had nvidia+prop drivers and just remove the card to switch to IGP is just going to make matters worse. you would need to remove the prop drivers and the xorg.conf file first
[06:08] <Solus> escott: Well you see, I do get the windows boot loader to work but somewhere deep in the system the /boot partition I created still exists even though I cleared all partitions, fixed the mbr with EasyBCD and removed the Ubuntu boot up option with it. It just keeps coming back
[06:10] <kiwi-foobar> OK -  what is the best way to remove the prop drivers and then I will edit the xorg.cong file in vi
[06:10] <escott> kiwi-foobar, depends on how you installed them? how did you install them
[06:11] <escott> Solus, then EasyBCD must not be working properly. honestly this is more of a question for #windows or something. you just need to run fixmbr or whatever the windows command is to install their bootloader
[06:11] <Solus> thanks headed there now
[06:12] <escott> Solus, but grub doesn't do anything special to protect itself. its in the mbr/pbr as you instructed it to be
[06:12] <kiwi-foobar> I think I used the 3rd party drivers app in 11.10 - It was a over a year ago I am not sure anymore
[06:12] <escott> kiwi-foobar, do you mean "jockey"
[06:13] <escott> kiwi-foobar, ie you installed them through the recommended method... not downloading stuff from the web
[06:13] <kiwi-foobar> Yep
[06:14] <escott> kiwi-foobar, then things should have worked on the upgrade, but people have been having problems with nvidia
[06:15] <escott> kiwi-foobar, i don't really know what to recommend. if you want to go to IGP then sudo apt-get remove --purge "nvidia-*"; and sudo rm /etc/X11/Xorg.conf; might be enough
[06:15] <lickalott> escott you still here?
[06:15] <escott> lickalott, about to call it a night
[06:15] <lickalott> guess so....lol
[06:15] <lickalott> k.  I'll ask, if you have time shoot, if not I'll see if someone else can assist
[06:16] <escott> lickalott, and i dont know a lot about samba configs sorry
[06:16] <kiwi-foobar> I will mv the xorg.conf and see what does
[06:16] <lickalott> oh
[06:16] <escott> kiwi-foobar, anyways goodluck. hopefully some more aussies are coming online
[06:16] <sloshua> does anyone know anything on setting up a file server or nas with ubuntu?
[06:17] <sloshua> can anyone help me
[06:17] <sloshua> does anyone know anything on setting up a file server or nas with ubuntu?
[06:18] <lickalott> i have 3 shares via samba all are browsable, writable, and guest ok and not read only.  I can see them and navigate through them from across the network, but I can't copy to them.  i noticed that the /media dir where these are mounted was 775 so I chmod'd it to 777 (to test) and I got a screw off it's a read only file error
[06:18] <lickalott> any ideas why?
[06:21] <lickalott> I'm thinking it's fstab maybe?

[06:39] <netwrkspider> guys i need help
[06:40] <netwrkspider> how i can take backup snapshot for ubuntu server.
[06:40]  * lickalott points to the back of the line
[06:40] <lickalott> google "command line backup utility (ubuntu 12.04)"
[06:40] <blackshirt> !backup
[06:41] <lickalott> or you could just tar up your stuff
[06:41] <blackshirt> !sbackup
[06:41] <blackshirt> !cloning
[06:42] <netwrkspider> @blackshirt: thx man
[06:42] <blackshirt> good luck
[06:45] <lickalott> can someone paste me a line from thier fstab that allow writable access?
[06:49] <blackshirt> lickalott, like your partition problem ?
[06:50] <lickalott> yeah
[06:50] <lickalott> it's coming up readonly no matter what I do
[06:53] <WeThePeople> hi
[06:53] <brady1> its a real pain that the ubuntu software center search function isn't smart enough to ignore capitalization, spaces, or do any sort of intelligent searching.
[06:53] <blackshirt> hi wethe people
[06:53] <lickalott> K...now I'm really confused.  I have 3 shares.  all three with the same permissions/settings.  2 work (copying to) and 1 gives me the finger
[06:56] <neild> Wug, I found the code problem... it was a stupid mistake... doing a malloc() without assigning it to the variable I want the pointer in.
[06:56] <lickalott> blackshirt, does that make any sense to you?
[06:57] <Wug> neild: unitialized variable. pretty typical. do be more careful next time.
[07:00] <brady1> is it possible to set up my system to not require my password for everything?
[07:03] <Espen__> there is a workaround for this bug, but how do i use it?

[07:12] <Snowie> howdy all. I have need to learn some visual basic for some simple stuff at work (ugh). i only have ubuntu and emulation is not possible because i am not buying/stealing a copy of windows. Anyone had need for this and run any of the VB tools from Wine etc. A stretch i know but i thought id ask. Any advice?

[07:17] <kiwi-foobar> I have a problem with an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 can anyone here help. It looks like the window manager does not start correctly.  In fact compiz crashes  I have got almost _no_ gui access but I can reboot into root shell. Installed ccsm and check to see if the unity plug in was installed and enabled, which it is 	Removed my nvidia card;   sudo apt-get remove --purge "nvidia-*";   sudo rm /etc/X11/Xorg.conf;  but still no go

[07:30] <Snowie> Maybe im barking up the wrong tree here. I just need to move a few files and ask a few questions on windows. is there a language even with a simple plugin that will work across linux and windows? just asking. know i might be too ambitous
[07:32] <Ben64> Snowie: what?
[07:32] <Snowie> Ben64, yeah i know. lol. it's a dumb question. didnt know if there might be a magic answer. here's the situation.
[07:34] <kiwi-foobar> Is there some way to run an xorg configure from the cli and do some sort of hardware detect
[07:35] <Snowie> at work, on windoez in a MASSIVE company, roaming profiles are a joke, and the job keeps changing. Everyone run's through the same steps all the time to fix it, so they can get on with it. I could write a batch, but people do different stuff, and i dont want everyone to be in CMD for ages. Just need something i can write on my buntu box, that will acheive that for me. Visual basic seems like it, but, no easy way on buntu box to
[07:35] <Snowie> do that
[07:35] <netwrkspider> quit
[07:36] <Snowie> i think im dreaming, i will just have to write it on the box at work
[07:36] <Ben64> Snowie: java? python? c++?
[07:36] <Snowie> yeah. Java it is.

[07:51] <jussi> Snowie: and lay off on the "noob" use ;)
[07:52] <jussi> user1234234: perhaps ask in #lubuntu?

[07:54] <wookienz> hi guys any one an expert on zfs?
[07:56] <alusion> Does anyone know a thing about hosting a teamspeak server?
[07:57] <almoxarife> alusion: you have the server package?
[07:57] <Erin> alusion, I run one
[07:57] <chr00t> dpkg -L xxx can list the files for a package which I have already install. my question is: how can I list the files for a package which I have not installed?
[08:00] <jasper__22> Hi - need a quick help with network setup between 2 Ubuntu computers with 2 network cards each
[08:00] <dcherniv> jasper__22, just ask
[08:01] <jasper__22> each computer connected to 2 networks. One is local with: 10.0.0.x/24 and another (in-between 2 ubuntu boxes) should be <IP_ADDRESS>  and <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:01] <jasper__22> another comp configured the same
[08:01] <Erin> alusion, did you have a question about team speak.. ?
[08:02] <jasper__22> one leg to 10.0.0.x/24 and another connected to 172.0.0.x
[08:02] <jasper__22> the 10.0.0.x network is working - I can ssh and everything but somehow I can not setup internal network 172.0.0.x
[08:03] <jasper__22> my configuration is 'static' with <IP_ADDRESS> on one comp and <IP_ADDRESS> on another comp
[08:03] <jasper__22> but they can not even ping each other
[08:04] <alusion> Erin, what are slots?
[08:04] <alusion> I'm looking at maybe renting a server or something... so I'm just wondering what slots are hehe..
[08:04] <Erin> alusion, how many users can be on the server
[08:04] <alusion> I figured as much.
[08:05] <ddonnykeez> how do I know what to type to mount my ipod i just plugged in, i've already created the mount point
[08:05] <alusion> Hehe.. I'm on the east coast, can you recommend me perhaps a good host?
[08:05] <jasper__22> is there any tutorial on how to set-up internal network with 2 ubuntu comps ?
[08:05] <Erin> do you have a decent net connection? you can run your own server alusion
[08:05] <alusion> Yeah
[08:05] <Erin> Why not run your own server?
[08:05] <alusion> I set up my own server, I have fios
[08:05] <alusion> Idk
[08:05] <alusion> I am security conscious
[08:05] <Erin> yea so do I, I run my own server
[08:06] <alusion> I opened up some ports for it.. and I feel a little less safe. Anyways how can I connect to my server?
[08:06] <alusion> Right now it's still localhost
[08:06] <jasper__22> alusion: ssh
[08:06] <Erin> alusion, well I would set up a no-ip.org account
[08:06] <ddonnykeez> i've tried /dev/sdc1
[08:06] <Erin> alusion, so your ip will be convrted to whatever.no-ip.org for others to use
[08:07] <jasper__22> ddonnykeez: plugged by USB ?  $> lsusb
[08:07] <alusion> That may be just what I need :-] Is it..free?
[08:07] <Erin> jasper__22, he is talking about a teamspeak server. no ssh needed
[08:07] <ddonnykeez> jasper_22 yeas
[08:07] <Erin> alusion, yea it is, then you setup your account in the fios router and it keeps it updated for you
[08:07] <jasper__22> Erin: you suggested no-ip.org <- its' free DNS provider
[08:08] <ddonnykeez> jasper_22 it says Bus 001 Device 009: ID 05ac:129e Apple, Inc. iPod Touch 4.Gen
[08:08] <Erin> jasper__22, I know what it is...? what are you getting at
[08:08] <jasper__22> ddonnykeez: ok - so it's connected by USB. check  $> mount  command - maybe it's get autoconnected
[08:08] <jasper__22> automounted
[08:08] <Erin> alusion, you are welcome to use my server if you don't want to set one up. I never have more than 5 people on it anyway lol.
[08:09] <ddonnykeez> jasper_22 is it, but i want to specify where to mount and i don't know how to find the right /dev/xxxx to use in the mount command
[08:09] <alusion> Hehe thanks, I'll have to waiver the offer -- I'm hoping  I can add a modern edge to my business with TS ^_^;
[08:10] <Erin> what business ?
[08:10] <jasper__22> ddonnykeez: ?? so the /dev/xxx is listed in 'mount' command
[08:11] <jasper__22> ddonnykeez: just take it from there
[08:11] <alusion> Erin: http://youtu.be/k4aY2nyOZx8 check it out :P
[08:12] <alusion> we market essential services and renewable energy at wholesale price
[08:12] <Erin> I see.
[08:13] <Erin> well anything else you need to know about Team speak ?
[08:13] <alusion> Hehe I will have to read through this no-ip thing
[08:13] <Erin> all you do is sign up a free account, then you create a dns host @ no-ip.org
[08:13] <Gipzo> Hello, guys and girls. What is the fastest way to clone ubuntu system from one usb flash to another? (16 gb, dd is awfully slow)
[08:13] <alusion> Sounds simple enough..
[08:14] <Erin> Gipzo, dd is the best /fastest way
[08:14] <Gipzo> i have 16 gb flash, but i'ts not full
[08:14] <Gipzo> about 3-4 gb of data
[08:14] <Erin> Gipzo, it isn't dd that is slow it is the usb flash drive, they generally have crappy speed
[08:14] <Gipzo> dd copies all 16 gb =(
[08:14] <Erin> well you could copy the files then just make it bootable I guess
[08:15] <Gipzo> Ok...and how do I make it bootable?
[08:15] <Erin> not sure exactly, with unetbootin or some such tool I guess
[08:16] <Erin> I mean I know how to make a booteable usb flash drive using that tool, but I don't know how to do just the making it bootable part off the top of my head
[08:16] <Gipzo> last time i copied first 1000 blocks by dd...
[08:16] <Erin> Yea you could do that I suppose
[08:16] <Gipzo> at's 512x1000 bytes
[08:16] <Gipzo> it's*
[08:16] <Erin> first 512 bytes I believe
[08:17] <Erin> sorry its late here I forgot you could use dd for that too ;-p
[08:17] <Gipzo> but it's not very safe for different usb flashes )
[08:17] <Erin> why not?
[08:17] <Gipzo> different sizes
[08:17] <Erin> you are only writing data to the drive, it is fixeabl
[08:17] <Erin> that doesn't matter, you are writing the master boot record
[08:17] <Erin> not the partition
[08:19] <Ben64> Erin: it includes the partition table
[08:19] <Erin> ahh then edit it
[08:21] <Gipzo> Is there any tool, so i can write simply this - make_bootable /dev/sdb1
[08:21] <Erin> Gipzo, sudo grub-install /dev/sdb1 I believe
[08:22] <argh22> hello everyone
[08:22] <Erin> but wouldnt you want to use the whole device as in just /dev/sdb
[08:23] <argh22> any help in installing catalyst 12.10 on ubuntu 12.10 for a total noob? i tried to google it, but the procedure did stuck at some point.
[08:23] <Ben64> !ati | argh22
[08:23] <argh22> ok i'll give it a look now
[08:24] <Gipzo> or /dev/sdb...
[08:24] <Erin> Gipzo, yea I said that ;-P
[08:25] <Gipzo> So... the solution to clone system is to copy all files from one flash to another (rsync, i believe) and ther grub-install on it?
[08:25] <Ben64> Gipzo: I don't think grub-install would work
[08:25] <Erin> why not ?
[08:26] <Ben64> It would be making grub for the currently booted system
[08:26] <Erin> even if you point it at a different device ?
[08:26] <Ben64> most likely
[08:27] <Erin> looks like he needs to use grub-install --force --root-directory=/dev/device
[08:29] <Erin> make sure you mount the flash disk first
[08:30] <Erin> just google it, it is a bit of a process but doable
[08:31] <Gipzo> Ok
[08:31] <Gipzo> Thanks =)
[08:31] <argh22> Still ati driver installation on ubuntuwhy isn't there in ubuntu 12.10 a settings/hardware folder as pointed in the guide? also, the guide looks rather dated... i downloaded from shell the lastest drivers for linux, i followed the instructions i found, still from shell, in the wiki linked in the download page... but it got stuck.
[08:31] <Erin> easier to just use DD :-P
[08:31] <Erin> go watch a tv show and come bck
[08:31] <g0tcha> heya guys, anyone here familiar with HE tunnelbroker ipv6 tunneling?
[08:31] <g0tcha> i tried adding the same tunnel running on my ubuntu to centos by mistake and now my ubuntu ipv6 wont work anymore, anyone can help me out maybe?
[08:34] <almoxarife> g0tcha: sounds like the un-doing is at HE
[08:35] <g0tcha> almoxarife, what could have happened from their end?
[08:36] <almoxarife> g0tcha: i dont know
[08:37] <g0tcha> almoxarife, ah ok.. was just curious on how you got the idea from so i can follow it
[08:39] <almoxarife> g0tcha: i tried long ago to set up a tunnel, back then there were not that many internet addresses on ipv6, when i found myself without that many places to go to via ipv6 i put it on the back burner, i saw the HE, i figured it was the same tunnelbroker
[08:42] <brady1> ipv6, is it superior to tor?

[08:45] <almoxarife> brady1: ipv6 is as transparent as ipv4
[08:46] <brady1> but is it as anonymous as tor?
[08:46] <brady1> im mostly concerened with the ip masking capabilities almoxarife
[08:47] <btral> hi. i have this command

[08:47] <almoxarife> brady1: i would say ipv6 is as anonymous as ipv4
[08:47] <btral> how change it to get tar.gz from multi input file and gzip it to one tar.gz
[08:47] <btral> ?
[08:47] <btral> how use tar to get one tar.gz from multiple files?
[08:48] <almoxarife> brady1: what would be interesting is if one can enter tor via ipv4 and exit to a ipv6 address :)

[09:00] <MountainGoat> anyone familiar with troubleshooting wpa_supplicant? Strangely I managed to get a link painlessly with NetworkManager... but outside the GUI would be nicer
[09:01] <leo2007> ok, resolved!
[09:01] <Lachezar> MountainGoat: you may want to try nm-tool.
[09:03] <Lachezar> MountainGoat: or rather 'nmcli'.
[09:04] <MountainGoat> interesting!
[09:06] <MountainGoat> heh, lead me to two things... my wpa_supplicant lacks the atheros driver... yet nm is using ath5k... also apparently nm's failure to connect right now could be related to my problems with wpa_supplicant... prob related to a power outage today
[09:06] <MountainGoat> apparently the neighbours at work, their free wifi, isn't immune to power failures :(
[09:11] <Bothos> anyone know which snes emulator is best for ubuntu?

[09:16] <micky_> when i installing the chrome internet browser ,i got an error : dependency is not satisfiable:libasound2
[09:16] <almoxarife> micky_: usually happens when ppa's install their own libs, do you have ppas in your sources.list?
[09:17] <Lachezar> micky_: Try installing chromium-browser

[09:22] <user1234234> i want to load my alsa volume settings on bootup with "alsactl restore 0".  Which script do I add this to?  ps I'm using ubuntu 12.04 with lxde desktop.
[09:24] <kushal_kumaran> user1234234: adding to /etc/rc.local should work
[09:26] <pratz> Hello guys
[09:26] <user1234234> Thanks. My master volume kept muting, so i wanted to use alsactl to restore it. Rebooting.
[09:27] <pratz> I am using U-12.04 , when i close  thunderbird it closes, but it should not close and should be running in message menu, how can i do this ?
[09:28] <almoxarife> pratz: look for 'close to systray' or similar in options
[09:29] <MonkeyDust> pratz  there's alltray, it minimizes anything to tray
[09:29] <pratz> almoxarife: MonkeyDust i want it in messsage menu
[09:30] <almoxarife> pratz: ok
[09:30] <user1234234> Unfortunately my master volume muted again on reboot.  I had to manually enter "alsactl restore 0" in the terminal to unmute my volume.
[09:31] <user1234234> /etc/rc.local didn't automate that command.
[09:32] <Lachezar> user1234234: It did, but I suspect you have something else wiping out your volume later.
[09:32] <Lachezar> user1234234: Try adding a command to your UI session. Ugly, but works.
[09:32] <almoxarife> user1234234: you are not running pulseaudio server are you?
[09:33] <user1234234> not sure..i'm using lxde desktop so whatever that includes.
[09:33] <user1234234> so add it to my lxde session scripts...
[09:34] <almoxarife> user1234234: i think someone who can do a "I had to manually enter "alsactl restore 0" in the terminal to unmute my volume." knows about pulseaudio, good luck with that
[09:34] <wodesuck> maybe you should use the alsa daemon
[09:35] <user1234234> lets tackle this from another angle...How would i automatically start leafpad when my desktop starts?
[09:35] <jasper__22> Could somebody help me to setup network ?
[09:35] <almoxarife> user1234234: lets not
[09:35] <user1234234> ;lets substitute leafpad with alsactl restore 0

[09:43] <piggy_> can i adjust the size of a partition so it's larger?
[09:43] <piggy_> what tool should i use?

[09:46] <morfeo_81> This is the error No MTA installed, discarding output)
[09:46] <almoxarife> jasper__22: too complicated for me
[09:47] <jasper__22> ok....
[09:47] <llutz> morfeo_81: add MAILTO=''   at the top of your crontab
[09:47] <jasper__22> anyone could help me with netmask ? I guess I setup network right but netmask is wrong
[09:48] <jasper__22> If I have internal network with address 10.0.0.x what netmask should be used for it ?
[09:48] <llutz> jasper__22: <IP_ADDRESS>/24 (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[09:48] <jasper__22> and different network will use addresses such as 172.0.0.x   <- what netmask for this on the same computer ?
[09:50] <jasper__22> llutz: and for 10.0.x.x  ?  is <IP_ADDRESS>  ?
[09:50] <evilmoo> how many machines will you have on each network?
[09:50] <llutz> jasper__22: /16 (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[09:51] <jasper__22> each computer connected to 'outher'  (local network) with 10.0.0.x  net
[09:51] <jasper__22> I want 2 computer be connected to each other with differnet network
[09:51] <jasper__22> for example <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:51] <piggy_> auronandace: thanks, but the option for 'resizing' is ghosted out, any ideas?
[09:52] <evilmoo> i would just use <IP_ADDRESS> if they're just private local networks
[09:52] <auronandace> piggy_: depends entirely on your layout and what is mounted
[09:52] <MonkeyDust> jasper__22  some 460 people in ##networking    (double #)
[09:52] <evilmoo> but you shouldn't use 172.0.0.x for private networks
[09:52] <auronandace> piggy_: screenshots to the rescue!
[09:52] <jasper__22> evilmoo: why not ?
[09:52] <piggy_> auronandace: http://cl.ly/image/061n1J1J0q2Q
[09:52] <llutz> jasper__22: use <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:52] <piggy_> auronandace: i want to increase sda1
[09:53] <jasper__22> llutz: and what the netmask for it ?
[09:53] <evilmoo> jasper: 172.0.0.x belongs to AT&T, see http://whois.arin.net/rest/nets;q=<IP_ADDRESS>?showDetails=true&showARIN=false&ext=netref2
[09:53] <llutz> jasper__22: /16 (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[09:53] <jasper__22> if I already have 10.0.0.x with netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:53] <auronandace> piggy_: it is mounted, you can't resize something that is mounted
[09:53] <evilmoo> use 172.16.0.x <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:53] <jasper__22> evilmoo: ooopppsss...
[09:53] <jasper__22> evilmoo: thanks, I'll try
[09:53] <piggy_> auronandace: ah, but if it was unmounted how would i resize it, and could i? or would that little partition (between sda1 and the unallocated) get in teh way?
[09:54] <auronandace> piggy_: it's always recommended to use gparted from a live environment
[09:54] <piggy_> auronandace: ah ok, this is all VM stuff, what's the best way to do it?
[09:54] <piggy_> auronandace: virtualbox
[09:55] <auronandace> piggy_: turn off the vm, make sure you configure it to boot a livecd and turn it back on, it should boot the cd rather than your vm's harddisk
[09:55] <piggy_> auronandace: thx
[09:56] <auronandace> piggy_: yes, you'd need to move the partition thats in the way too
[09:56] <morfeo_81> thanks
[09:56] <auronandace> piggy_: any reason you got swap in an extended partition?
[09:57] <piggy_> auronandace: hehe, no idea
[09:57] <jasper__22> hmmm.. nope... still 'network unreachable' error
[09:57] <piggy_> auronandace: but if gparted needs to be installed via apt-get, how can i do it via a livecd?
[09:58] <piggy_> i thoguth livecd doenst let me install stuff?
[09:58] <jasper__22> and 'route -n' does not even have a default gateway
[09:58] <xylon> how to fix gnome unresolved dependencies issue?
[09:58] <jasper__22> It seems all the packets goes to 'outer' LAN network
[09:59] <auronandace> piggy_: gparted should be on the livecd
[09:59] <almoxarife> piggy_: you want the 'iso' for gparted, no reason to apt-get
[09:59] <auronandace> piggy_: i prefer to use partedmagic for livecd partitioning
[10:00] <piggy_> auronandace: ah ok, does that come with ubuntu too?
[10:01] <auronandace> piggy_: i think so
[10:05] <Lachezar> RE. Moving ~/.fonts to ~/.config/fonts does not work :(

[10:11] <MDesign> please help me with ubuntu ?
[10:12] <antonio_> Does anyone here use Handbrake for videos?
[10:12] <jasper22> MDesign:  ???
[10:12] <auronandace> antonio_: tried openshot?
[10:12] <MonkeyDust> MDesign  start with a question
[10:12] <jasper22> if in my 2 network cards $> arp -v     doesn't show entries for second network card - does it mean that second card is not connected ?
[10:13] <jasper22> I mean 'arp -v'  show entries and all of them belong to eth0  - no entries for eth1
[10:13] <Lachezar> jasper22: Not generally. If there is no traffic on the second card, there are no ARP elements.
[10:13] <jasper22> does it mean that eth1 is not connected ?
[10:13] <hamidi> does anyone know how to setup samba over "host-only adapter" in virtualbox?
[10:13] <antonio_> auronandace: I use openshot also
[10:13] <MDesign> well
 first of all thank you for answering
 i have install ubuntu server on my old computer

[10:21] <Lachezar> jasper22: Well... There is RX and TX on the eth1, so it seems it works.
[10:21] <jasper22> Lachezar: yes... it seems it work
[10:22] <Lachezar> jasper22: ping <IP_ADDRESS> (or whatever is the IP of the other computer).

[10:24] <Lachezar> jasper22: Now do an 'arp -an'
[10:24] <Lachezar> jasper22: What is the IP of the other computer?
[10:24] <jasper22> one is <IP_ADDRESS>   and another one is: <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:24] <jasper22> 1 and 2
[10:25] <jasper22> one of them shows:  ? (<IP_ADDRESS>) at <incomplete> on eth1
[10:25] <jasper22> another one shows only entries for eth0 and not for eth1
[10:26] <Lachezar> jasper22: Are you sure the two LANs are not connected to the same switch?
[10:26] <jasper22> switch ?
[10:26] <jasper22> there's no swith
[10:26] <Lachezar> jasper22: Cross-Cables?
[10:26] <jasper22> they connected directly to each other
[10:27] <Lachezar> jasper22: Well... As long as those are real CROSS cables it _should_ work...
[10:27] <jasper22> this is my last guess
[10:27] <jasper22> Lachezar: it's not the same cable that I plug into the router isn't it ?
[10:27] <llutz> jasper22: "sudo ethtool eth1 | grep Link"
[10:29] <llutz> jasper22: modern NICs don't need cross-cables
[10:29] <jasper22> llutz: Link detected: Yes
[10:29] <llutz> jasper22:  Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes ?
[10:30] <jasper22> llutz: one of the cards have this line another is shown only (!) Link detected: yes
[10:32] <sinf> 6
[10:33] <jasper22> llutz: yes.. without 'grep' I see in settings that both cards support 'advertised auto-negotiation'
[10:33] <Ububegin> I got this msg.. from synaptic manager.. Failed to fetch http://sg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/octave-general/octave-general_1.2.1-1_amd64.deb

[10:34] <llutz> jasper22: so (for me) the cable seems not to be your issue
[10:34] <Lachezar> jasper22: I'm having problems connecting my two laptops (Lenovo Thinkpads) with a straight cable, and I was forced to use a crossed cable.
[10:34] <MonkeyDust> Ububegin  yeah, target no longer exists
[10:35] <jasper22> llutz: one of that cards has in 'Port' settings listed 'Twised Pair' and another one in 'Port: MII'       does it matter ?

[10:36] <Lachezar> Ububegin: sg is probably a pool of servers... Maybe you can just try again.
[10:36] <Ububegin> Lachezar: hmm, I think its been down for a while
[10:36] <MonkeyDust> Ububegin  try sudo apt-get install octave
[10:37] <llutz> jasper22: im not sure but i think it doesn't matter
[10:38] <Ububegin> MonkeyDust: same error... I cant connect to the server
[10:38] <MonkeyDust> Ububegin  then first type sudo apt-get update
[10:39] <Ububegin> MonkeyDust: same error again
[10:39] <Lachezar> Ububegin: seems sg.archive.ubuntu.com is just one server, maybe you can switch to another country using the Control Centre.
[10:40] <MonkeyDust> Ububegin  then you should start from the beginning, what have you tried before you came here
[10:41] <Lachezar> jasper22: Do you have a crossed cable to try with?
