[14:09] <Dougie187> dustinspringman: through synaptic. You mean thorough the software sources thing? Or through installing synaptic first and then installing nvidia-current and nvidia-settings?
[14:09] <dustinspringman> Dougie187: yea, mine is an optimus system so I had to use the stock driver then run bumblebee on top of it to get 3D rendering on the NVidia card instead of the intel
[14:09] <til4k> blz, have you consulted https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba
[14:09] <til4k> i dont use samba myself
[14:09] <Dougie187> dustinspringman: ah, that's interesting.
[14:10] <blz> til4k, yes I have
[14:10] <blz> til4k, yeah I'd use NFS, but there are windows clients =/
[14:10] <Dougie187> dustinspringman: I'm trying to install nvidia-current from apt-get right now. We'll see if this one works.
[14:10] <dustinspringman> Dougie187: software sources thing is just the front end of synaptic.. I use command line b/c I am used to it.. but yes, in the software manager try "nvidia-settings" run the "nvidia-config" and see what happens
[14:10] <Dougie187> dustinspringman: Yeah. Software sources was what I was using last night. But I'm trying it in apt-get now (since that's what I'm use to also. :P)
[14:11] <dustinspringman> Dougie187: Thats a good place to start... it sounds like you are getting the driver loaded but its not being saved either in the xorg.conf file or something like that and defaulting when you reboot
[14:11] <Dougie187> dustinspringman: this is the first version that I've had a hard time with the video drivers. I had been running fine since 06.06
[14:11] <Dougie187> dustinspringman: maybe. just nvidia-settings gets pissed and says it doesn't have any driver that it can use.
[14:12] <Dougie187> Another question to anyone who knows. Is there a way to get pidgin to be in the messaging menu?
[14:12] <dustinspringman> Dougie187: I had similar issues in 11.. 12.04 has been real smooth.. 12.10 had a couple missing dependencies but then all was well
[14:13] <Dougie187> dustinspringman: good to know. Do you know if 12.10 cleaned up the multi-arch some more?
[14:13] <bekks> Dougie187: Then finally check wether you really use the nvidia driver. Just instaling them isnt sufficient to be sure.
[14:13] <til4k> why do ppl insist on upgrading, i like a nice fresh start
[14:13] <Dougie187> bekks: how do you do that?
[14:13] <til4k> its only twice a year
[14:14] <bekks> Dougie187: By taking a look into the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[14:14] <til4k> if your tweaks and GUI setup is so precious dont upgrade
[14:14] <til4k> k im about to get ubottu'ed for chatting ill shut up
[14:14] <til4k> afk
[14:14] <Dougie187> bekks: Ok. I'll check that after this is done.
[14:14] <ThothCastel> I am trying to create a folder to develop a website under /var/www/
[14:14] <ThothCastel> but it is not allowing
[14:14] <ThothCastel> why is that>?
[14:14] <dustinspringman> Dougie187: I use only x64 and everything seems legit.. didn't have any issues on that ffront.. though I've only loaded it to play.. i am on LTS for my production system
[14:14] <ThothCastel> 'permission denied'
[14:14] <bekks> ThothCastel: Because you donz have the permission to do so.

[14:15] <ThothCastel> bekks: yes, thank you
[14:15] <bekks> ThothCastel: OUCH. Now you messed it up.
[14:15] <bekks> ThothCastel: Obvious you have no clue about permissions. :)
[14:15] <ThothCastel> I am trying to assign the right permissions
[14:16] <ThothCastel> theoretically I undersntand it...  just haven't put it into practice yet
[14:16] <til4k> !ubottu chown ThothCastel
[14:16] <til4k> what
[14:16] <bekks> ThothCastel: And now, you allowed _everyone_ to have FULL access to your webserver, including changing files, etc. - EVERYONE, not just you.
[14:16] <til4k> !chown ThothCastel
[14:16] <til4k> how the hell does that thing work
[14:16] <til4k> !ubottu chown
[14:16] <til4k> lol
[14:17] <Dougie187> lol
[14:17] <ThothCastel> bekks: I KNOW THAT...  I DID THAT ON PURPOSE...   It's  as development environment...  simply to learn
[14:17] <ThothCastel> however it just seems that it does not work
[14:17] <fomg-optimize> Its called an extreme sport
[14:17] <til4k> ThothCastel, bekks is being a lil bit of a dbag but relax yo
[14:17] <dustinspringman> Dougie187: you might also have some better luck getting support for 12.10 in ubuntu+1 channel
[14:17] <ThothCastel> I still can't create the directory
[14:17] <Lafiir> Is Empathy still the default chat program in Ubuntu 12.10?
[14:17] <fomg-optimize> You guys just dont understand

[14:18] <bazhang> til4k, and stop the name calling
[14:18] <til4k> k
[14:18] <bazhang> !msgthebot | til4k
[14:18] <blz> ThothCastel, bekks for what it's worth, I've experienced the same thing in the past, namely with external harddrives
[14:19] <bekks> ThothCastel: Then learn on how to NOT use 777 :)
[14:19] <bekks> ThothCastel: Which user does not have sufficient permissions?
[14:19] <bekks> And why dont you just put that user into the group /var/www/ belongs to?
[14:19] <ThothCastel> blz: ok... lol..   I just want to paste a directory that contains the files of my website inside the /var/www directory...
[14:20] <blz> ThothCastel, and your permissions aren't taking?
[14:20] <blz> ThothCastel, that's the issue, right?
[14:20] <blz> Or did I assume too much =)
[14:20] <ThothCastel> blz: yes
[14:20] <furrypants> what the heck is the keyring thing? I havent figured it out
[14:21] <blz> ThothCastel, yeah I don't actually have a solution.   But I've encountered that before and it's very frustrating.  I just wanted to let you know you're not crazy
[14:21] <cygnuskk> hey all, software sources in ubuntu 12.10 crashed and won't start, how can i fix it?
[14:21] <ThothCastel> I simply want to give x user full permissions to that folder
[14:21] <ThothCastel> blz:  thanks yo! ;)
[14:22] <ThothCastel> in a ubuntu machine, doesn't the default user, when first installed, have administrator permissions?
[14:23] <freijon> hey. I'm trying to watch a DVD with my new laptop. Totem keeps telling me "The movie could not be read". I installed libdvdcss2, that used to do the job. is it possible that it doesn't work cause I have a blueray drive now?
[14:23] <michealPW> LOL omg it's so adorable, my kids are linux gamers (rofl)
[14:23] <bazhang> !ot | michaelni
[14:24] <bazhang> whoop sorryt michaelni

[14:26] <bernard__> Hello, I am not sure if this is the right place but still I'll ask. So I started to use ubuntu (Pinguy) week ago and I love it!! I am a trader and I always wanted a stable system to work with however I am using TradeInterceptor (http://tradeinterceptor.com) so it is available on ubuntu however it is based on java and Java is NOT working. I spent like 10h already googling and trying to find a way but it just won't work
[14:26] <bernard__>  for me.
[14:26] <ThothCastel> how to assign full control to a user in ubuntu?
[14:26] <bazhang> bernard__, pinguy is not supported here
[14:26] <bazhang> bernard__, search for their channel
[14:26] <bernard__> its the same ubuntu, cmon..
[14:26] <bazhang> !alis | bernard__
[14:27] <MonkeyDust> bernard__  some 10 people in #pinguyOS
[14:28] <freijon> any ideas about that DVD issue?
[14:28] <bekks> ThothCastel: You user HAS full control, you can use sudo.
[14:28] <bekks> !sudo | ThothCastel
[14:29] <sanone> could someone point me to an irc channel for crosscompilation on Ubuntu (for ARM)
[14:29] <bazhang> #ubuntu-arm sanone
[14:29] <sanone> bazhang,  thanks
[14:30] <ThothCastel> bekks: thanks but it's simply not working!...  I applied sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/Procopio.co.uk
[14:30] <cebor> is there a chrome channel ? or does somebody know when google chrome does work on quantal ???
[14:30] <freijon> google chrome works on quantal
[14:30] <bekks> ThothCastel: WHAT is not working?
[14:30] <freijon> I'm using it right now :D
[14:30] <ThothCastel> the command went through but in the file 'explorer' I am trying to right click and create a folder....  but the option is faded out
[14:30] <cebor> i get an error thats not save to install the .deb from google
[14:30] <bekks> ThothCastel: And when being a member of the group /var/www belongs to, you have to set 775 instead of 755.
[14:31] <freijon> cebor, Google has a repository which has chrome-stable, chrome-beta and chrome-unstable
[14:31] <ThothCastel> bekks: it belongs to 'rrot'
[14:31] <ThothCastel> 'root'
[14:31] <cebor> freijon:  ah ok, have you a link for me ??
[14:31] <OerHeks> ThothCastel, if you have started "explorer" ( nautilus)  without gksudo, you won't have acces to create a folder
[14:32] <bekks> ThothCastel: Then add your user to the group /var/www belongs to, log out completely, log back in, and set this: find /var/www -type d -exech chmod 775 {} \; find /var/www -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
[14:32] <Dougie187> dustinspringman: so I just rebooted after installing nvidia-current, and it doesn't work again
[14:32] <bekks> ThothCastel: Then add your user to the group /var/www belongs to, log out completely, log back in, and set this: find /var/www -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \; find /var/www -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
[14:32] <Dougie187> I get a window that says none of the modes work
[14:32] <ThothCastel> OerHeks: how can I start the explorer with the gksude?@
[14:32] <Dougie187> and then I run sudo nvidia-xconfig
[14:32] <freijon> cebor: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1351541
[14:32] <bekks> ThothCastel: Read what I wrote to you.
[14:32] <Dougie187> and reboot again, and nothing works.

[14:39] <bernard__> java -jar /home/user/TradeInterceptorCharting.jar and also this one as well none of them are functioning, however when I open system monitor i can see java/javaws running though no windows are opened.
[14:39] <bekks> Lafiir: ALL your RAM should be used. If not, it is just wasted.
[14:39] <bekks> Lafiir: Take a look at www.linuxatemyram.com
[14:39] <bazhang> Lafiir, thats wholly dependent on one's setup, there is no single answer to that
[14:40] <Lafiir> I see.
[14:40] <ThothCastel> bekks: dude! It is working! Thank you! :)
[14:40] <bekks> ThothCastel: :P
[14:40] <bekks> ThothCastel: Do you understand why it is working?
[14:40] <ThothCastel> bekks: could you please provide me with some resources for me to understand the commands you sent me ?
[14:41] <ThothCastel> find /var/www -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \; find /var/www -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
[14:41] <ThothCastel> I understand 40% of it
[14:41] <ThothCastel> :S
[14:41] <ThothCastel> what is -type d
[14:41] <bekks> ThothCastel: Which parts dont you understand?
[14:41] <kostkon> ThothCastel, any good bash tutorial will do
[14:41] <veryape> thothcastel: man find& man chmod should be a good start
[14:42] <tacomaster> i bought a laptop from system76 and the wireless is really the only issue when i am at work my wireless connection will be fine for a bit then all of a sudden it will still show that im connected but when you try to ping an ip it fails to even reach the router. i have no other wireless ap's that show up so i dont think it is wireless interference. i did some research on the card and the only think i found on it was to try "sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off"
[14:42] <iFlip> Question about Ubuntu LAMP installation
[14:42] <Corey1> hello, i'm looking for the Nautilus Script "Mass Rename"....i cant find it in "Software-Center" neither in synaptic
[14:42] <ThothCastel> bekks: you first change the permission to 775 and then change it to 664?
[14:43] <ThothCastel> and what is the type -d and -type -f ?
[14:43] <bekks> ThothCastel: No.
[14:43] <iFlip> I just did a 2 pass wipe on my HDD and now re-installing Ubunutu LAMP - how in th world does it still know my old hostname
[14:43] <ThothCastel> kostkon: veryape: thank you :)
[14:43] <Kroach> bernard_: are you sure you tried both versions of java? when you have 2 or more installed you need to select the one you want to use
[14:43] <m4t> hey, does 12.10 need both python and python3? can i remove 2.7?
[14:43] <iFlip> I'm sorry I mean a 3 pass wipe
[14:44] <m4t> iFlip , dhcp?
[14:44] <kostkon> m4t, it needs both
[14:44] <bekks> ThothCastel: find /var/www -- Look in /var/www and all its subfolders, -type d -- find directories, -exec chmod 775 {} \; -- execute chmod 775 on the entries you've found
[14:44] <m4t> kostkon thx
[14:44] <kostkon> m4t, don't even attempt to remove either of them :P
[14:44] <kostkon> :/
[14:45] <freijon> tacomaster: I have the same problem at school. I think its the wireless security they use there which causes problems with linux. it works everywhere else
[14:45] <iFlip> m4t - good thought forgot about that - I guess it held that name in ARP

[14:46] <tucemiux> when did the new version come out? I missed the release!
[14:46] <bazhang> 18th tucemiux
[14:46] <tacomaster> freijon: that would make since because the router i have at home is using wep atm and there is no issues at all but the work is wpa2
[14:46] <bekks> tucemiux: Thats no drama.
[14:46] <WhereIsMySpoon> How do i change mouse scroll wheel sensitivity?
[14:46] <tacomaster> freijon: and i have 0 issues with it at home
[14:46] <bekks> tucemiux: Did you install wpa_supplicant?
[14:46] <tucemiux> bazhang, the 18th of this month?
[14:46] <bazhang> freijon, using what players
[14:46] <kostkon> Corey1, did you search on gnome-look.org or gtk-apps.org?
[14:46] <bazhang> tucemiux, yes
[14:46] <Lafiir> bekks: that site was a bit useless, since the used/free value of system monitor shows them excluding disk cache.
[14:47] <freijon> bazhang: I tried totem and VLC and audience
[14:47] <Ancoor> mysql problem solved... apparmor stopped the process, since i kept the apparmor configs from 12.04
[14:47] <bazhang> freijon, and mplayer?
[14:47] <bekks> Lafiir: Well, RAM has nothing to do with DISK space...
[14:47] <Corey1> kostkon: no, i will lookup, thx
[14:47] <bekks> Lafiir: Absolutely nothing.
[14:47] <freijon> I don't like mplayer :/
[14:47] <tucemiux> bazhang, i missed it!  Time to update now!  And for the first time ever it looks like ubuntu studio is synchronized with ubuntu - I wont have to wait a few more weeks for 12.10
[14:47] <bazhang> freijon, try it nonetheless
[14:47] <freijon> and I doubt it will work if it doesn't work with VLC
[14:47] <freijon> but okay, I'll try
[14:47] <Lafiir> bekks: of course not
[14:47] <Guest67644> oic123
[14:48] <bekks> Lafiir: Then where's the problem in used RAM, unless your computer starts swapping?
[14:48] <Azzle-Dazzle> Ok, so yesterday there was a system update for ubuntu and i accepted it, Im not sure if it completed but now I cant log in to gnome desktop, only the default one.... I also cannot finish updating because it wont accept my password for authentication..... any ideas ??
[14:48] <bazhang> freijon, you do have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed, correct? and got the libdvdcss2 deb from medibuntu.org
[14:49] <freijon> bazhang: dunno and yes. I'll reinstall ubuntu-restriced-extras. mplayer didn't work btw
[14:49] <tucemiux> bekks, my wireless is working fine with windows o.O  I'm about to install ubuntu studio on my ultrabook, we'll see if the wireless still works
[14:49] <bekks> tucemiux: Why shouldnt it?
[14:50] <tucemiux> bekks, ive always had some type of problems with newer hardware on ubuntu, wireless being one of them - it's never worked just right
[14:50] <WhereIsMySpoon> Anyone know how to change mousewheel sensitivty in ubuntu?
[14:50] <bekks> tucemiux: For me, only RealTek chipsets did cause problems, everything else worked for me - since years now-
[14:51] <til4k> WhereIsMySpoon, might have to edit X.org sec
[14:51] <WhereIsMySpoon> til4k: ok, you mean Xorg.conf?
[14:52] <phenrique> in ubuntu 12.04, in eclipse juno, in this screen one option is hidden: http://imageshack.us/a/img204/322/eclipsen.png what i can to do to visualize it?
[14:53] <tucemiux> WhereIsMySpoon,  is ubuntu recognizing your "Device"  in "Mouse and Touchpad" applet?
[14:53] <WhereIsMySpoon> tucemiux: yes
[14:53] <WhereIsMySpoon> tucemiux: theres no mousewheel config there tho
[14:53] <freijon> bazhang: ubuntu-restriced-extras was not installed. but now that I installed it it still doesn't work
[14:53] <WhereIsMySpoon> to be clear, my mouse works fine normally, i just want to tweak the mousewheel sensitivity
[14:53] <kostkon> tucemiux, for a start, try using the tab to select it
[14:54] <kostkon> whoops
[14:54] <kostkon> i meant, phenrique, for a start, try using the tab to select it
[14:54] <tucemiux> WhereIsMySpoon,  never tried changing those settings, sounds like a job for the forums, why would you want to scroll faster though? o.O
[14:54] <WhereIsMySpoon> tucemiux: its a personal setting
[14:55] <Adamantus> I can't download ubuntu
[14:55] <WhereIsMySpoon> tucemiux: i think its too slow
[14:55] <WhereIsMySpoon> tucemiux: therefore i want to change it
[14:55] <WhereIsMySpoon> :S
[14:55] <ThothCastel> I got my lamp platform up and running and am trying to login to my phpmyadmin however I have no login details yet...   how can I set up a db user ?
[14:55] <bazhang> freijon, did you just download the deb from medibuntu, or what
[14:55] <Adamantus> The download screen fails. Or the download grinds to a halt. Tried it with a dl manager but it can't understand the link.
[14:55] <freijon> no, I installed it using the link I showed you above
[14:55] <phenrique> kostkon, i try but the text dont show, i only check but not know the matter
[14:55] <til4k> WhereIsMySpoon, check out http://askubuntu.com/questions/42867/modifying-mouse-touchpad-sensitivity
[14:55] <til4k> theres a link to a program
[14:56] <WhereIsMySpoon> til4k: will check it
[14:56] <bazhang> freijon, you enabled the medibuntu repos, or what.
[14:56] <WhereIsMySpoon> til4k: thats useless
[14:57] <WhereIsMySpoon> any other ideas? ^^
[14:57] <phenrique> kostkon, i already try increase the screen but dont can....
[14:57] <til4k> a lot of people say you plug it out and in again
[14:57] <til4k> lots of threads with that solution
[14:57] <WhereIsMySpoon> til4k: i dont have a MS mouse
[14:57] <til4k> o
[14:57] <WhereIsMySpoon> thats only a problem with MS mouses
[14:58] <til4k> is it a preference thing or is it unusable
[14:58] <kostkon> phenrique, try pressing ALT+F8, it's the shortcut for resizing windows. It might work.
[14:58] <freijon> no. first I downloaded and installed libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repository. that didn't work, so I used libdvdread and ran the script, as described in that link. but that just downloads libdvdcss2 from medibuntu, so its basically the same thing
[14:58] <WhereIsMySpoon> preference
[14:58] <til4k> like i know firefox has add-ons for scrolling
[14:58] <WhereIsMySpoon> that would only work in ff tho
[14:58] <WhereIsMySpoon> no?
[14:58] <til4k> ya
[14:58] <marjinal1st> hi, i'm using kubuntu 12.04 amd64. do you think that i should upgrade it to 12.10? you know, lts versions are usually more stable.
[14:58] <WhereIsMySpoon> then that isnt useful
[14:58] <til4k> i know
[14:58] <WhereIsMySpoon> 12.04 is LTS
[14:58] <WhereIsMySpoon> 12.10 isnt
[14:58] <bekks> marjinal1st: You have to decide which version you want.
[14:59] <DarkSim> I was wondering, if it possible to change the GRUB interface on startup to be a lot more graphical?
[14:59] <til4k> it might be a bug then
[14:59] <kostkon> phenrique, oh you don't any space left, yeah sorry.
[14:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> ehsor
[14:59] <DarkSim> So it doesn't look like so much DOS
[14:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> *eh sorry marjinal1st i misunderstood what you said
[14:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> til4k: =/
[14:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> til4k: i am using a vbox
[14:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> so that could be it
[14:59] <marjinal1st> meaning what?
[14:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> but still would be nice to have some option for it
[14:59] <zybe> What't the best raw editior i linux?
[14:59] <bazhang> !enter | WhereIsMySpoon
[14:59] <zybe> What's*
[15:00] <bekks> !best | zybe
[15:00] <WhereIsMySpoon> marjinal1st: if you dont particularly need something in 12.10, stick to 12.04 as it's lts
[15:00] <tucemiux> marjinal1st, meaning that if 12.04 serves your needs then don't upgrade unless you're curious to see what 12.10 has in newer features
[15:00] <phenrique> kostkon, it already is in max height... :/
[15:00] <kostkon> phenrique, is this the window? https://developers.google.com/eclipse/images/newWebAppWizard.png
[15:00] <til4k> WhereIsMySpoon, is linux the host OS or is Windows
[15:00] <marjinal1st> that was what i think too.thanks anyway for your replies :)
[15:01] <WhereIsMySpoon> til4k: windows
[15:01] <til4k> WhereIsMySpoon, try #vbox
[15:01] <til4k> did you install the guest drivers
[15:01] <WhereIsMySpoon> til4k: yes
[15:02] <til4k> dunno
[15:02] <WhereIsMySpoon> ill try #vbox
[15:02] <til4k> WhereIsMySpoon, or just forums in general IRC is the worst lol
[15:02] <kostkon> phenrique, you can use the tab key to go through all the items in the window, and blindly maybe enable/disable/set the ones that are not visible
[15:03] <freijon> bazhang: could the problem be caused from the blueray drive? I used to have only a DVD drive
[15:03] <bazhang> freijon, I'd doubt it
[15:03] <kostkon> phenrique, actually, i found a better screenshot: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Abfbz9OKVoM/Tljt-CmQDfI/AAAAAAAACGQ/WBQDzlCM3nk/s1600/New+Web+Application+Project+_003.png

[15:06] <Dougie187> ugh, so frustrated with nvidia drivers.
[15:06] <tyrog> Hello. Which is the most stable DE in ubuntu? unity or KDE? Thanks.
[15:06] <DarkSim> If I have a partitioned harddrive where do I know which partition holds the MBR?
[15:06] <Azzle-Dazzle> whats usually the default password for ubuntu ?
[15:06] <DarkSim> The absolute first partition or the whole harddrive?
[15:07] <bekks> DarkSim: The MBR always hold the primary partition table and, if necessary, a link to extended partition tables.
[15:08] <DarkSim> because I'm installing BURG and the guide I'm following says I should enter sudo burg-install "(hd0)" , bekks. But he said replace hd0 with the drive with MBR or something like that
[15:09] <bekks> DarkSim: I never dealt with BURG, and "something like that" is just too vague.
[15:09] <DarkSim> bekks, http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-burg-in-ubuntu/
[15:09] <kbentley57> Hey guys, I just upgraded a desktop from lts to quantal, and I get a black screen with blinking cursor on reboot.  I can boot into recover and get to the text login.  Any ideas how to reset x?
[15:09] <bekks> DarkSim: I am not going to deal with BURG, I am happy with grub2.
[15:10] <bekks> kbentley57: First, check the logs whats happening to X, or wether X is causing problems at all.
[15:10] <WhereIsMySpoon> doesnt sound like an X issue
[15:10] <Dougie187> I need some more help with nvidia drivers. if anyone has some time.
[15:10] <WhereIsMySpoon> black screen with blinking cursor sounds like boot issue
[15:10] <bekks> WhereIsMySpoon: Actually, it does.
[15:11] <MATRIX1> Hi n, You Are In My Friends List (ArthasScript)
[15:11] <MATRIX1> Info Line For n, NOTSET (ArthasScript)
[15:11] <WhereIsMySpoon> :|
[15:11] <kbentley57> Well, I can boot to the tty1 login, so it must be something related to graphics?
[15:11] <Azzle-Dazzle> Im the same ! I too have upgraded to the quantal thingy but i cannot authenticate anything, Its not accepting my password
[15:11] <tyrog> Hello. Which is the most stable DE in ubuntu? unity or KDE? thank you
[15:11] <DarkSim> for Ubuntu I'd say KDE since it's native
[15:11] <WhereIsMySpoon> kbentley57: do you have some free space on your hdd?
[15:11] <DarkSim> derp, Unity
[15:11] <bekks> DarkSim: Thats - nonsense.
[15:11] <Dougie187> I see this after I install the nvidia-current package. "(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your"
[15:11] <kbentley57> Darksim, yes
[15:12] <bekks> DarkSim: For Ubuntu, every linux DE is "native".
[15:12] <DarkSim> Well if you don't change stuff then it doesn't really have to get unstable
[15:12] <Dougie187> (that's from /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:12] <Dougie187> )
[15:12] <bekks> DarkSim: In particular, in Ubuntu Unity is shipped, in kubuntu KDE, etc.
[15:12] <bekks> DarkSim: That has nothing to do with "native".
[15:12] <DarkSim> Well that's a different story, he said ubuntu
[15:12] <DarkSim> ubuntu comes with unity
[15:12] <kermit666> Does anyone know why my Ubuntu upgrade from USB hangs at the "restoring previously installed packages" part?
[15:12] <bekks> DarkSim: Then please read what I wrote :)
[15:12] <ThothCastel> how to hide the icons on the left on the desktop?  I mean the icon launchers
[15:12] <kbentley57> Whereismyspoon, yes
[15:13] <Teapot> When I try to connect to a wireless network, I get the error: Failed to add/activate connection. (32) None of the registered plugins support add.
[15:13] <Teapot> Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
[15:13] <ThothCastel> my monitor is small and I would like to change the positioning of it to be horizontal at the bottom of the screen and hide/show
[15:13] <ThothCastel> is it possible?
[15:13] <tyrog> bekks: DarkSim i wanted to mean the whole *buntu ecosystem, not only ubuntu
[15:13] <kostkon> ThothCastel, right click on desktop, change wallpaper, then in the appearance app, select the second tab and you'll find the option there
[15:13] <DarkSim> Then I have no idea
[15:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> ThothCastel: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/automatically-hide-unity-launcher-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
[15:14] <tyrog> i really meant the DE environment itself, across whole ubuntu
[15:14] <tyrog> which would be more stable then bekks ?
[15:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> try to google first :)
[15:14] <bekks> tyrog: Both are equal.
[15:14] <Teapot> When I try to connect to a wireless network, I get the error: Failed to add/activate connection. (32) None of the registered plugins support add.
[15:14] <Teapot> Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
[15:14] <kostkon> tyrog, try both ubuntu kai kubuntu and decide for yourself me thinks
[15:15] <MonkeyDust> !wifi | Teapot start here
[15:15] <tyrog> bekks: any of them is superior for playing games with more FPS?
[15:15] <ThothCastel> kostkon: thank you :)
[15:15] <kostkon> ThothCastel, np
[15:15] <DarkSim> How can I find where the MBR is installed?
[15:16] <MonkeyDust> DarkSim  sudo fdisk -l    mind the asterisk
[15:17] <tyrog> kostkon: by the way, which one do you use?
[15:17] <WhereIsMySpoon> xubuntu here :)
[15:17] <DarkSim> sda1 apparently isn't a disk
[15:17] <DarkSim> ok....
[15:17] <wols_> DarkSim: it is never installed and it's always at the same place: first sector on disk
[15:18] <kostkon> tyrog, about game performance, you can find some benchmarks on phoronix, e.g. http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=18030
[15:18] <DarkSim> I'm just reading the guide, sorry if I say wrong things
[15:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> DarkSim: could be your cd drive
[15:18] <WhereIsMySpoon> DarkSim: depends the order they're plugged in
[15:18] <kostkon> tyrog, ubuntu 10.04, i.e gnome2 and 12.04, i.e. unity
[15:18] <wols_> DarkSim: sda1 never can be a disk. it is a partition
[15:18] <DarkSim> so how can I find the the true name?
[15:18] <tyrog> WhereIsMySpoon: not really a fan of xfce, never liked it, but admit that it is very customizable
[15:18] <bekks> DarkSim: A partition never has a name.
[15:19] <WhereIsMySpoon> tyrog: its very simple and a lot faster than standard ubuntu
[15:19] <bekks> DarkSim: The filesystem in a partition might have a name.
[15:19] <DarkSim> that makes this setup pretty impossible to complete if I can't write a name
[15:19] <bekks> DarkSim: ...
[15:19] <wols_> DarkSim: what is your actual problem you try to solve and how are you trying to solve it right now?
[15:19] <DarkSim> I am going to type the command sudo burg-install "(hd0)"
[15:20] <DarkSim> but the guide says, replace hd0 with your harddrive which contains mbr
[15:20] <wols_> that will be hd0 aka sda
[15:20] <DarkSim> so I should not change the command?
[15:20] <ThothCastel> localfirebug
[15:20] <DarkSim> since I have only 1 harddrive
[15:21] <bekks> hd0 - in burg/grub - means "first harddisk".
[15:21] <bekks> In Linux, that is sda.

[15:28] <Hotkeys1> Is it possible to have a cronjob run a command within a screen?
[15:28] <indieross> Chasedawg1, every once and a while my audio goes out on my ubuntu system. to fix it i just have to boot into windows
[15:28] <bekks> Hotkeys1: nope
[15:29] <indieross> then reboot into ubuntu and it working again

[15:51] <amews_aj-study> What terminal command should I use for safely formatting an HDD ?
[15:51] <Teapot> I did and it's working. It's not a fix; it's a workaround.
[15:51] <bekks> amews_aj-study: fdisk and mkfs.
[15:52] <amews_aj-study> bekks, a few months ago I used a different command I think. Could you mention other options ?
[15:52] <ezoe> weird, After upgrading to 12.10, my USB mouse occasionally stop working. reconnecting fix it.
[15:52] <indieross> Teapot, wtf its a fix, wicd is just another network manager.
[15:53] <indieross> a better one in my opinion
[15:53] <ezoe> I think my USB mouse is not broken.
[15:53] <Teapot> In what way does using a different network manager fix the original network manager?
[15:53] <freijon> indieross: thats what I did
[15:54] <freijon> indieross: I also tried installing from medibuntu repository, but no luck
[15:54] <indieross> freijon, hmm, can handbrake read the dvd
[15:54] <amews_aj-study> bekks, I believe it was shred - is that plausible?
[15:54] <Razzeeyy1> guys I'm just curious about one dumb thing, is it possible to use a non-bash (for example lua scripts or so)  scripts as initscripts?
[15:55] <Razzeeyy1> also would that give a performance benefit or not?
[15:55] <dustinspringman> has anyone here been able to get Google Earth PRO working in ubuntu 12.04 ?
[15:55] <bekks> amews_aj-study: Shred doesnt format. Shred shreds.
[15:55] <freijon> indieross: the file browser can read the file list
[15:55] <dustinspringman> The download from earth.google.com/pro comes in as a .bin file and I can't figure out how to run it..
[15:56] <amews_aj-study> Guess that was also what I was looking for. It shreds data safely ? So that it cannot be recovered, right ?
[15:57] <indieross> freijon, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install handbrake
[15:57] <amews_aj-study> bekks, What about "dd" ?
[15:57] <indieross> freijon, install handbrake-gtk *
[15:58] <tux9th> How is this envelope thing in the top taskbar called? in 12.04 it also included pidgin quassel etc. now it just includes thunderbird for me...
[15:58] <nibbler_> shred /devices/sda would randomly format sda ;-)
[15:58] <tux9th> How can I change htat?
[15:59] <amews_aj-study> nibbler_, what about "dd" ?
[15:59] <Razzeeyy1> tux9th: I think it's something like "message-indicator-applet"
[16:00] <Razzeeyy1> tux9th: at least it was named that way before, dunno how that named in unity
[16:00] <tux9th> Razzeeyy1: thanks. I'll look it up =)
[16:01] <Dulcin> Hi guys, I'm running a fully up-to-date 12.04 version of ubuntu, but when I try to do-release-upgrade it tells me there is no new version found. Am I doing something wrong or is the update not available yet?
[16:02] <DJones> Dulcin: 12.04 is LTS & is probably set to just upgrade to the next LTS version
[16:02] <Dulcin> ahh i see
[16:03] <DJones> Dulcin: If you go to system settings, sotware sources abd rge Updates tab, there's an option to select any new version, rather than just LTS upgrades
[16:04] <Dulcin> it's updating now :)
[16:04] <Dulcin> thanks for the tip
[16:04] <Jimster480-L> whats everyone upto?
[16:04] <DJones> Dulcin: You're welcome
[16:04] <F1skr> I'm trying to setup 12.10 in a virtualbox, I have installed virtualbox-guest-additions and enabled the virtualbox driver in the "Additional drivers" tab, but for some reason no vbox modules are started when I boot the machine.. any ideas?
[16:05] <F1skr> loaded*
[16:05] <alienaut> hello
[16:05] <alienaut> 12.10 seems bugy it will ok soon?
[16:06] <The_BROS> How to make USB port to charge iPad. http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-charge-ipad-on-ubuntu-linux-via-usb-ports this manual is not working
[16:07] <amews_aj-study> Is shred overkill before reselling computer?
[16:07] <amews_aj-study> Currently running shred -n 1 -z
[16:07] <wastrel> seems like a sensible precaution
[16:07] <alienaut> btw how can i understand if my graphic card properly installed?
[16:07] <amews_aj-study> wastrel, but would a simple zero-pass be considered enough ?
[16:07] <WeThePeople> does anybody know where i can get 3proxy
[16:08] <wastrel> iono from data security
[16:08] <wastrel> i'd think not many people would be doing advanced forensics on it
[16:08] <loculinux> loco
[16:08] <loculinux> ola
[16:08] <amews_aj-study> wastrel, so conclusion? 0-pass enough ?
[16:09] <wastrel> unless you get really unlucky :]
[16:09] <wastrel> how sensitive is the data
[16:09] <wastrel> there's really no one answer
[16:10] <amews_aj-study> Not that sensitive really - only "remembered" passwords that I'm a bit worried about - I don't want to go all over the place changing passwords
[16:10] <nibbler_> wastrel: you can never securely delete data from standard harddisks etc, so best is to drop them into some mountain in mordor or such
[16:10] <freijon> intellilogic: handbrake doesn't seem to be able to read it either
[16:10] <amews_aj-study> nibbler_, Do you have a map to go there ? :D
[16:11] <nibbler_> amews_aj-study: once you get to middleearth its well documented :p
[16:11] <amews_aj-study> nibbler_, yea, but how do I get there ? :D
[16:12] <amews_aj-study> If the OS was installed on a 2 TB partition and less than 100 GB was used - is it safe to assume that overwriting the first 100 GB of the disk is enough? Or could the data be scattered all over ?
[16:13] <alexfpms> alienaut, do you have some problems with ?
[16:13] <bekks> amews_aj-study: No.
[16:13] <Optichip> amews_aj-study, depends on how long you had it installed for.
[16:13] <themhz> if I delete all the files under var/log on my ubuntu 12.04 will it cause the system to malfunction ?
[16:13] <amews_aj-study> Optichip, months
[16:13] <Optichip> amews_aj-study: then it'll be all over the partition, not just the first 100gig.
[16:13] <kapz> so anyone knows how to make password protected excel 2010 files with libreoffice? Thanks
[16:14] <gbear14275> Hello, anyone here used the openvpn plugin for network manager?
[16:14] <nibbler_> themhz: maybe logging would malfunction for missing directories, nothing else would suffer usually
[16:14] <alienaut> alexfpms, i dont know what graphic driver should i use
[16:14] <nibbler_> gbear14275: I recommend gopenvpn, sadly not in the repositories.
[16:14] <themhz> thank you nibbler_
[16:14] <amews_aj-study> I suppose that "normal people" will not be able to recover data if I simply zero-pass the partition ?
[16:14] <kapz> *work with likbreoffice
[16:14] <nibbler_> themhz: reboot or restart your syslog server after deleting...
[16:15] <Optichip> kapz: just password protect the file and save as Office?
[16:15] <buddha_> hello
[16:15] <nibbler_> amews_aj-study: right.
[16:15] <sfan5> hello
[16:15] <gbear14275> nibbler, I've run into an issue.  Using the network manager plugin, my network is restricted to only the VPN, where previously I could access both my vpn lan and the internet... not sure how to fix this
[16:15] <themhz> thank you again nibbler_
[16:15] <kapz> Optichip, it's the other way around...
[16:15] <alexfpms> alienaut, what graphic card do you have ?
[16:15] <Optichip> amews_aj-study: correct you should be fine
[16:15] <themhz> nibbler_, is syslog server also responsible for php logs?
[16:15] <alienaut> alexfpms, Radeon hd 6329
[16:15] <nibbler_> gbear14275: thats due to the setup of the corresponding vpn server. check out your routing tables and routing settings in the vpn config
[16:16] <wallythemoose> Question installing Ubuntu with SSD and bigger hard drive. Because of space limitations I want to put /home and /usr on a different hard drive. Is there a way to get them both on one partition like they would usually be, or do they each have to have their own partition?
[16:16] <amews_aj-study> nibbler_, So if it's all about a few passwords, and this is just a system that is going to be returned to manufactor for refund, I shouldn't bother doing more than a simple zero-pass?
[16:16] <nibbler_> themhz: i'd guss so
[16:16] <gbear14275> I'm guessing I need to learn about setting up routes... but was wondering if there is a setting I'm missing, because previously regular openvpn let me access both
[16:16] <nibbler_> amews_aj-study: yes
[16:16] <themhz> nibbler_, ok thanx
[16:16] <alexfpms> alienaut, what it says: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[16:16] <buddha_> can someone help me i cant to coonect zith zen live cd to internt
[16:16] <gbear14275> aka without the plugin
[16:16] <genera> iono? whos that?
[16:16] <Optichip> wallythemoose, you can easily move them to a different drive
[16:16] <nibbler_> gbear14275: nopaste "ip r s" while on the vpn
[16:16] <amews_aj-study> nibbler_, ok. Now what is the proper command for doing such a zero-pass ?
[16:16] <Optichip> wallythemoose, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[16:16] <gbear14275> nibbler, k one sec
[16:16] <sfan5> is updating to ubuntu 12.10 safe?
[16:17] <nibbler_> amews_aj-study: cat /dev/zero > /dev/device-to-shred
[16:17] <bekks> sfan5: Safe in which manner?
[16:17] <bekks> nibbler_: OUCH.
[16:17] <alienaut> alexfpms, ""00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 6320] [1002:9806]
[16:17] <wallythemoose> Optichip: Thanks!
[16:17] <nibbler_> bekks: did i step on your foot?
[16:17] <bekks> amews_aj-study: dd bs=16M if=/dev/zero of=/dev/yourharddisk
[16:17] <Ampersand> hi
[16:17] <sfan5> bekks: like the unity search bar not working for ~ 4 weeks, that happened to me last upgrade
[16:17] <designbybeck> my newly installed 12.10 doen't see my ATI card?
[16:18] <bekks> nibbler_: you just hot my eyes ;)
[16:18] <designbybeck> I go to the additional drivers and it isn't there
[16:18] <amews_aj-study> bekks, So whats the difference between cat as nibbler_ suggested, and dd ?
[16:18] <designbybeck> how do I install the drivers?
[16:18] <nibbler_> bekks: are you a dogs person? hate cat?
[16:18] <nibbler_> amews_aj-study: there is like 1000 ways to do it.... one as good as the other
[16:18] <bekks> nibbler_: It was a joke :)
[16:18] <nibbler_> ;-)
[16:19] <amews_aj-study> :)
[16:19] <alienaut> designbybeck, check settings, software sources, additional drivers
[16:19] <alienaut> i am trying to install my ati driver too :)
[16:19] <alexfpms> alienaut, what version of ubuntu do you use ?
[16:19] <designbybeck> yes I did that alienaut and i don't see it
[16:20] <gbear14275> nibbler, thanks... looks like the default route is changing.  This information helps! /msg NickServ identify
[16:20] <gbear14275> oops http://pastebin.com/q5zSUYUW
[16:20] <alienaut> alexfpms, 12.10
[16:20] <designbybeck> i see my wireless card and that is installed and working fine... but in the past I have seen the ATI info there as well
[16:20] <tucemiux> anyone knows if you can back up an entire hard drive using partimage?  I want to clone the entire hard drive with the partitions
[16:20] <designbybeck> alienaut: do you see yours listed?
[16:20] <buddha_> soory now is work strqnge
[16:20] <alienaut> yes
[16:20] <nibbler_> gbear14275: then just "ip r d default" and set your routes to your liking
[16:20] <designbybeck> well dang
[16:20] <designbybeck> wonder if i should restart.....
[16:20] <amews_aj-study> bekks, nibbler_, using cat command I get permission denied, even with sudo ?
[16:21] <gbear14275> nibbler, where would I go to affect those routes?  (you replied before I could ask... I think you're a mind reader)
[16:21] <nibbler_> tucemiux: partimage is only taking a single partition at a time, so make sure you backup part table seperately (simple using dd or sfdisk) but i hear partimage is outdated anyway
[16:21] <bekks> amews_aj-study: cat is the slowest solution. And sudo doesnt pass that ">" pipe.
[16:21] <alienaut> alexfpms, there are 3 driver should i use proprietary ones?
[16:21] <amews_aj-study> bekks, I should use dd ?
[16:21] <alexfpms> alienaut, i never had ATI cards but you can always try to install "Additional Drivers" in Ubuntu Software Center to see what it suggests
[16:21] <bekks> amews_aj-study: Yes.
[16:21] <amews_aj-study> does blocksize matter?
[16:22] <bekks> amews_aj-study: Yes.
[16:22] <bekks> amews_aj-study: Thats why i wrote bs=16M
[16:22] <User123> Hello, I'm noob in linux. I want to compile file from source but there's no configure file, but there is some "Makefile." files; how do I do it?
[16:22] <alexfpms> alienaut, i use proprietary driver
[16:22] <bekks> User123: By running "make".
[16:22] <root____1> hi all
[16:22] <root____1> =)
[16:22] <alexfpms> alienaut, depends on what you want to do with
[16:22] <sfan5> i stopped "do-release-upgrade" and now it seems to be broken
[16:22] <User123> bekks, make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[16:22] <nibbler_> gbear14275: either in the setup of the vpn in your network manager, but i don't know what you can configure there. else just make yourself a bash script thats sets your routes accordingly - if-up scripts might be usable for that, too
[16:23] <bekks> root____1: Dont IRC as root please :)
[16:23] <root____1> ok
[16:23] <root____1> logout
[16:23] <bekks> User123: Then consult the manual/readme of whatever you are trying to compile.
[16:23] <OerHeks> sfan5, aborting an upgrade is always a bad idea
[16:23] <amews_aj-study> How can I get some progress output ?
[16:23] <black_puppydog> question: can anybody explain the last comment o this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/linux/+bug/992087
[16:23] <alienaut> alexfpms, thansk!
[16:23] <gbear14275> nibbler_, the pointer on using ip should be enough to help me troubleshoot... I really appreciate it.  Would like to PM you real quick... that ok?
[16:23] <black_puppydog> because I have the exact same issue and so do some other people: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12307092#post12307092
[16:23] <User123> bekks, no readme files... no other ideas?
[16:24] <sfan5> OerHeks: it magically repaired itself
[16:24] <alienaut> designbybeck you still not find them?
[16:24] <sfan5> my problem is solved :)
[16:24] <nibbler_> gbear14275: no PMing please, just ask here
[16:24] <designbybeck> no alienaut
[16:24] <bekks> User123: Then you have to analyze the Makefile.
[16:24] <designbybeck> im' waiting for a download to finish then I'll restart
[16:24] <bekks> amews_aj-study: kill -1 on the PID of the dd process.
[16:25] <gbear14275> nibbler_, public wouldn't be interested...
[16:25] <amews_aj-study> kill ? huh?
[16:25] <bekks> amews_aj-study: kill -1
[16:25] <User123> bakks, there's 12 of them.
[16:25] <amews_aj-study> what does kill -1 mean ?
[16:25] <bekks> amews_aj-study: Thats HUP, and it will continue.
[16:25] <bekks> amews_aj-study: Hang up - and continue.
[16:25] <alienaut> desingbybeck are you sure your graphic card supported?
[16:25] <wastrel> black_puppydog: i guess he's saying if you have the same problem on different hardware to file a new bug
[16:26] <User123> bekks, there's 12 of them. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1292661/
[16:26] <black_puppydog> wastrel: but why? wouldn't it actually help to see what all these models have in common to get a better understanding of why this happens?
[16:27] <amews_aj-study> bekks, it wrote hangup, and killed it
[16:27] <wastrel> black_puppydog: iono.
[16:27] <amews_aj-study> Why not just do shred -n 0 -z  ? Won't that do the same thing ?
[16:27] <amews_aj-study> shred supports verbose
[16:29] <alienaut> designbybeck, try "lspci -nn | grep VGA" on your terminal to see what is your graphic card and see if it is supported on ubuntu website. alexfpms :)
[16:30] <bekks> amews_aj-study: I was wrong - it should have been kill -USR1
[16:30] <designbybeck> alienaut: it shows the "AMD" card
[16:30] <amews_aj-study> bekks, anyway, shred -n 0 -z -v should also be a single zero-pass right ?
[16:30] <designbybeck> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI M96 [Mobility Radeon HD 4650] [1002:9480]
[16:30] <designbybeck> alienaut
[16:30] <amews_aj-study> seems to be working
[16:30] <bekks> amews_aj-study: I never used shred, since dd was faster :)
[16:31] <alexfpms> alienaut, designbybeck, if you use 12.10 don't forget to install sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic first
[16:31] <alienaut> designbybeck, your graphic cards is radeon hd 4650
[16:31] <alienaut> alexfpms, oh ok
[16:32] <designbybeck> yes alienaut
[16:32] <alexfpms> alienaut, designbybeck, headers are not installed by default in 12.10
[16:32] <designbybeck> why do you have to do that alienaut?
[16:32] <designbybeck> wouldn't updates do that for you?
[16:32] <designbybeck> what are headers anyway? alexfpms ?
[16:33] <spartan29> is anybody here
[16:33] <spartan29> i need some serious help
[16:33] <spartan29> with my ubuntu installation

[16:33] <Jisawesome2> Dont ask to ask
[16:33] <gordonjcp> !help | spartan29
[16:33] <amews_aj-study> doesn't look faster to me
[16:33] <Jisawesome2> !patience
[16:34] <tucemiux> anyone knows how to clone and entire drive with all its partitions?
[16:34] <alexfpms> designbybeck, if not the driver won't compile for your kernel
[16:34] <gordonjcp> tucemiux: dd
[16:34] <ms_daisy> Has anyone scripted something to automatically update virtual machines on an Ubuntu host?
[16:34] <spartan29> oh thanks..
[16:34] <Jisawesome2> How do I install a network driver from ubuntu server
[16:34] <spartan29> you see I have a kubuntu 12.04.1 installation on my laptop
[16:35] <dfrey> Is there a known issue with libc6-dev and libc6-i386?  I seem to have broken packages
[16:35] <Optichip> tucemiux, there are software packages that do that, like fogserver
[16:35] <alexfpms> alienaut, so if you installed driver without headers it might not work, so re-install drivers
[16:35] <spartan29> so I was taking an update...but then my laptop's battery charge got over and the system got restarted
[16:35] <alienaut> alexfpms, ok!
[16:36] <spartan29> so after that my update manager can't take any update...says the libc6 package is broken
[16:36] <alonglost> hi. I'm on my HP touchpad right now running ubuntu chroot
[16:36] <alienaut> i think i need to restart my computer
[16:36] <spartan29> I have done extensive search on this matter...but all of the efforts have failed..
[16:37] <tucemiux> gordonjcp, is there another utility that will allow me clone the drive like ghost?  I don't want to make an exactly of one drive to another - i want to create a back of an entire drive.
[16:37] <Optichip> spartan29, were you in the middle of an upgrade?
[16:37] <tacomaster> im having a issue with it seems to be wpa2 on ubuntu 12.04, i can connect fine but after i connect and start using the connection it just stop working.  the connection stops from my laptop to the router. i posted my dmesg on the pate.ubuntu at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1292688/ im just trying to see if there is anyway to get this to stop
[16:38] <alonglost>  having trouble with root permissions. I'm trying to get it prepped and ready for the upcoming Cryptoparty. Could anyone help
[16:38] <tucemiux> Optichip, yes but i'm only going to do this once - i just want to clone a drive for backup purposes
[16:38] <freijon> bazhang & intellilogic, I got the issue solved. somehow my DVD region was wrong. sudo apt-get install regionset --> set it to 1 and back to 2 did the job (you can set regions only about 5 times)
[16:38] <Optichip> tucemiux, ahh well clonezilla will work as well.
[16:38] <Optichip> spartan29, sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade
[16:39] <cebor> is there a way to hide "more sugestions" ?? quantal
[16:39] <spartan29> yes optichip...
[16:39] <spartan29> i was in a middle of a update...not upgrade
[16:39] <Jisawesome2> Same thing
[16:39] <Optichip> spartan29, sudo apt-get -f update
[16:40] <alienaut> alexfpms, i did it. now how to understand if it properly  installed?
[16:40] <spartan29> says could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open
[16:40] <spartan29> though i don't have any update/package manager open.
[16:40] <spartan29> strange
[16:40] <akls> how can I write to the file a list of packages that could be upgraded?
[16:41] <tucemiux> Optichip, but what youre describing sounds like a full blown distribution solution, I just want to clone drive a to  USB drive, partimage does the trick but only for one partition - not the entire drive.
[16:41] <alexfpms> alienaut, i never had ATI card but i think you should have some ati graphic card control panel
[16:42] <alienaut> in settings?
[16:42] <Optichip> tucemiux, well the clonezilla is a mini distro, boot from USB to clone a drive.
[16:42] <phr3d13> spartan29, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986288
[16:42] <alexfpms> alienaut, with nvidia we have nvidia-settings
[16:42] <Optichip> tucemiux, this will ultimately be what you want, you never want to be on the drive you're clonign.
[16:42] <Optichip> tucemiux, s/clonign/cloning
[16:42] <alienaut> oh!
[16:43] <designbybeck> well i restarted and still don't see my ATI drivers in addiontal drivers :(
[16:43] <alienaut> alexfpms, thanks i saw it, and my performance better i think
[16:45] <alexfpms> alienaut, when your card is working properly all graphics managed by your card so your CPU is not busy when you move windows for example
[16:45] <Optichip> akls you can do a sudo apt-get -s install package >> package.txt
[16:46] <alienaut> designbybeck, you can also install it from ATI site
[16:46] <alexfpms> alienaut, and offcourse unity panels must be transparent
[16:46] <alienaut> alexfpms, yes it is now :)
[16:47] <Jisawesome2> Does anyone know how to install something with ubuntu server
[16:47] <Griffin40> Hello
[16:47] <sfan5> Jisawesome2: do you mean packages?
[16:47] <Optichip> Jisawesome2, what do you mean?
[16:48] <User123> So, no more help for me?
[16:48] <alexfpms> designbybeck, what is your card ?
[16:48] <phr3d13> tucemiux, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19141/clone-a-hard-drive-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/
[16:48] <tucemiux> Optichip, yes - im downloading the drive and going to install the ISO to my usb thumb drive
[16:48] <alienaut> i am ready happy with it :) i think i am ready back to work. thanks alexfpms :)
[16:48] <Jisawesome2> optichip, I need to install a network driver from a jump drive or cd
[16:48] <alexfpms> alienaut, you're welcom
[16:49] <Griffin40> Excuse me I have a question, I recently installed some updates through the update manager on 12.04 but now my pc boots into tty1 instead of a gui. What should I do?
[16:49] <Jisawesome2> sfan, I mean network drivers
[16:49] <Optichip> Jisawesome2, in order to make your network card work on your Ubuntu server?
[16:49] <til4k> Griffin40, did you enable a ppa
[16:49] <daniel__> ok so I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10, and my Intel ALC260 Analog onboard jacks aren't being read by Ubuntu sound, but Terminal can read it is there
[16:49] <Griffin40> til4k what is that?
[16:49] <Jisawesome2> optichip yes
[16:49] <akls> Optichip, yep. is there any way to get more clear output?
[16:49] <Optichip> Griffin40, were you using proprietary video drivers?
[16:49] <nathaneltitane> hello everyone!
[16:50] <Griffin40> Optichip, I was using a driver I downloaded from AMD
[16:50] <tucemiux> phr3d13, i might be mistaken but that guide takes hard drives A --> and "copies" its structures to hard drive B, that's not what I want - I want to back up the contents on hard drive A on another drive for later retrieval
[16:50] <Jimster480-L> Griffin40: did your machine remove any packagess?
[16:50] <Optichip> Griffin40, you'll need to rerun your amd configuration then
[16:50] <User123> ok, then another question : is it possible that compiled program will be 64bit and wont work on my 32bit OS?
[16:50] <ajacom> I'm trying to install ubuntu alongside windows 8. it installs fine but then grub doesn't show up... i've tried several times... any tips ? thanks :)
[16:51] <Optichip> akls, you'd have to use sed to clean it up with what you want.
[16:51] <nathaneltitane> i just popped the 12.10 gnome remix edit on live usb and I must admit i am so tempted to come back to ubuntu :) - one thing though, I am experiencing weirdness with wine1.4: it refuses to install claiming failed deps and broken packages... anyone have the same experience on default ubuntu?
[16:51] <Jisawesome2> ajacom, on a vitrual machine?
[16:51] <Griffin40> Optichip, How could I do that from tty1
[16:51] <Jimster480-L> Griffin40: oh you musth ave ended up with a incompatible fglrx, they recently removed support for some cards in the new fglrx and you have to get the legacy driver or your machine wont boot. its stupid.
[16:51] <genera> User123 hm
[16:51] <ajacom> Jisawesome2: no on the free hdd space
[16:51] <Jisawesome2> Im not sure taht is possible...
[16:51] <Jimster480-L> ajacom: what is your default Bootmanager?
[16:51] <ajacom> Jimster480-L: no idea. the one that came with Win8
[16:51] <wallythemoose> ajacom: make sure when you run ubuntu installer, select the hard drive like sda, not sda2 partition
[16:51] <wallythemoose> to install grub
[16:51] <tucemiux> ajacom, where did you install grub?
[16:52] <ajacom> wallythemoose: I'm using "install Ubuntu alongside windows 8"
[16:52] <ajacom> tucemiux: ^
[16:52] <OerHeks> User123, ofcourse 64 bit apps do not work on 32 bit. ubuntu 64 bit is multi arch, so you can run 32 bit apps on that
[16:52] <Jimster480-L> ajacom: I dont know if Grub will boot windows 8 so you might have a conflict there, I would Google if I were you to se if its possible at this point in time.
[16:52] <Jisawesome2> oprtichip, do I just use apt-gert
[16:52] <Jimster480-L> ajacom: if you install grub on the MBR then you shouldnt have an issue as far as it showing up, but if your windows 8 will work, well thats a whole other question/problem.
[16:52] <ajacom> Jimster480-L: I've heard people that lose GRUB after installing windows 8. Same case backwards. People suggest reinstalling grub from the console.
[16:52] <Optichip> Griffin40, just login as yourself, find the driver file you downloaded from AMD and rerun it
[16:53] <phr3d13> tucemiux, you want to make an exact copy of drive a on drive usb right?
[16:53] <Optichip> Jisawesome2, is the server a phyical machine or is this in a VM on your machine?
[16:53] <nathaneltitane> i just popped the 12.10 gnome remix edit on live usb and I must admit i am so tempted to come back to ubuntu :) - one thing though, I am experiencing weirdness with wine1.4: it refuses to install claiming failed deps and broken packages... anyone have the same experience on default ubuntu?
[16:53] <Jisawesome2> physical machien
[16:53] <ajacom> Jimster480-L: I'm using 'install alongside windows 8'. i'm not really seeing all the sda, sda2 partitioning bits
[16:53] <Griffin40> Optichip, The problem is I can not get into a gui I can only boot into tty1
[16:53] <ajacom> Jimster480-L: it should work fine though, right ?
[16:53] <gordonjcp> tucemiux: oooh
[16:53] <tucemiux> phr3d13, for backup purposes, yes - sort of like ghost
[16:53] <wallythemoose> Just installed ubuntu, now it boots to being stuck at "verifying DMI pool data"... :'(
[16:53] <gordonjcp> tucemiux: I don't know what ghost is
[16:53] <phr3d13> then dd is exactly what you want
[16:54] <Optichip> Griffin40, you don't need to get to the GUI to cd to the Downloads directory and run the file ./AMDblahblah.bin
[16:54] <gordonjcp> tucemiux: you could use rsync to copy the files across from one to the other
[16:54] <opcode0> I got a random bug in 12.04 where mplayer's display got all scrambled. and now I got this: Maximum number of clients reachedMaximum number of clients reachedxterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0. Can I fix this without restarting X?
[16:54] <tucemiux> ajacom, i would go to the grub channel and ask there, windows8 is fairly new - dont even know if it's supported yet but someone in the grub channel would know
[16:54] <User123> OerHeks, ok. I just thought that you can choose to compile program to be 32bit or 64 bit :) noob here. Thank you.
[16:54] <alexfpms> Griffin40, what happens when you start X ?
[16:54] <phr3d13> tucemiux, dd will make an exact copy of a drive (partitioning scheme and all) on another drive
[16:54] <tucemiux> gordonjcp, i dont want use the files - i want the entire hard drive but let me explain myself a bit more
[16:55] <ajacom> tucemiux:  thanks
[16:55] <Armageddon> Optichip, how do I change my background ?
[16:55] <Griffin40> Optichip, I do not know the file name
[16:56] <User123> Bye.
[16:56] <akls> Optichip, apt-show-versions -u -b
[16:56] <tucemiux> Halp!  My ultrabook has windows 7 and the manufacturer preloaded it with 4 primary partitions!  I want to back up the entire drive to a USB external hard drive just for backup purposes and then play with win7, I don't have a CD restore media
[16:57] <Optichip> Armageddon, !!!!
[16:57] <Optichip> Griffin40, if you downloaded it, then it should be in your Downloads folder, will start with amd or AMD.
[16:57] <nibbler_> tucemiux: easy, just copy the full disks, if you don't mind the excessive waste of space, should be quiet well compressable, null out empty space before if you want.
[16:57] <Griffin40> alexfpms, It comes up with a lot of text and says Ok next to most of them but then just freezes
[16:57] <wallythemoose> nevermind, somehow the boot order in the bios changed without me telling it to. what's the grub utility to re-install grub? It didn't detect my windows 7 install
[16:57] <dfrey> why is it that when I do lsb_release -a, it says I am using 12.04, but when I open update-manager, it says that no updates are avaialble?
[16:58] <Griffin40> Optichip, I think it is something really long and funny
[16:58] <cellofellow> I just installed Quantal 64bit and It's looking pretty good. I have two funny problems: one GRUB (I think) when it starts shows an error "sparse file not allowed" or something, I hit Enter it it continues to boot perfectly fine. Also when I booted it just now lightdm did not start, I had to start it manually from the console.
[16:58] <Armageddon> Griffin40, did you download it with firefox ?
[16:58] <Optichip> Griffin40, you can type the first few letters of the filename then hit [TAB] key to complete.
[16:58] <Griffin40> Optichip, I don't think it is the graphics card though because all the graphics are working fine it is just booting up normally then going into tty1
[16:59] <Griffin40> Armageddon, IOk
[16:59] <Armageddon> Griffin40, if you did the name should be in the Download window in Firefox
[16:59] <Optichip> Griffin40, then you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if there's any error message
[16:59] <alexfpms> dfrey, what do you want ?
[16:59] <Jimster480-L> Griffin40: what desktop are you running on here?
[16:59] <dfrey> alexfpms: I'm wondering why it isn't suggesting for me to update to 12.10
[16:59] <Optichip> less /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the command line.
[17:00] <Jimster480-L> and you can do update-grub
[17:00] <Jimster480-L> to make it rescan
[17:00] <Armageddon> Griffin40, if it's dropping down to tty then your Display Manager isn't getting called on boot to run
[17:00] <Draton> dfrey: are you on 12.04?
[17:00] <alexfpms> dfrey, change settings
[17:00] <alexfpms> dfrey, you want upgrade ?
[17:00] <Armageddon> Griffin40, try to run it manually
[17:00] <Griffin40> Armageddon, run what manually?
[17:01] <Jimster480-L> what is the service for the unity desktop?
[17:01] <dfrey> Draton, alexfpms: Yes, I am on 12.04 and want to upgrade.  Which settings do I need to change?
[17:01] <Armageddon> Griffin40, Display Manager
[17:01] <Jimster480-L> used to be you type gdm to get your desktop
[17:01] <alexfpms> dfrey, update-manager -d
[17:01] <wilee-nilee> dfrey, ubuntu software center edit software sources updates all updates
[17:01] <Griffin40> Armageddon, How would I do that
[17:01] <alexfpms> dfrey, sudo do-release-upgrade
[17:02] <ajacom> Nothing yet. I'm using a 1TB HDD with 1NTFS - 2FAT32 - FREE SPACE FOR LINUX. I've heard a disk can have only a limited amount of partitions, could that be the case ?
[17:02] <Armageddon> Griffin40, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM
[17:02] <Griffin40> Armageddon, I typed sudo lightdm
[17:02] <Armageddon> Armageddon, won't start it
[17:02] <Armageddon> Griffin40, won't start it
[17:02] <Armageddon> Griffin40, read the link
[17:02] <dfrey> Seems to be upgrading now. Thanks
[17:03] <wilee-nilee> ajacom, You have 3 primaries if that description is correct you need a extended now to comtain any more logical type partitions
[17:03] <mysticalzero> ajacom: yes.. if you are using a partition scheme called mbr, you are only limited to create 4 primary partitions.
[17:04] <Jimster480-L> ajacom: you can only have 4 logical partitions total. So if you have any recovery or anything like that then that is why it wont install. Also at the moment the way you have it there is no space for a swap partition at all.
[17:05] <ajacom> mysticalzero, wilee-nilee, Jimster480-L: in that case i should be fine. again it didn't boot. I'm going to try http://askubuntu.com/questions/178184/updating-to-windows-8-on-dual-boot-with-ubuntu from the live cd
[17:05] <Griffin40> Armageddon, When I type sudo start lightdm
[17:05] <Jimster480-L> yea you do that, I have no exp with Windows 8 at the moment so i cant really help u there.
[17:06] <wilee-nilee> ajacom, Would you run sudo fdisk -l   first and pastebin that info so we know we are all on the same page.
[17:07] <ajacom> wilee-nilee: sure. how do i run the console from the live cd? i'm a little lost with the new desktop
[17:08] <Jimster480-L> i have no idea how to use that desktop but you can do like ctrl + f2 and it should give ua terminal
[17:08] <wilee-nilee> ajacom, Just open a terminal ctrl-alt-t should open it and copy and paste sudo fdisk -l   in and pastebin the info.
[17:08] <wilee-nilee> !pastebin > ajacom
[17:08] <Jimster480-L> ctrl + alt + f1
[17:09] <wilee-nilee> that is a TTY
[17:09] <cellofellow> lightdm didn't start when at boot. I can't find it in any of the /etc/rcN.d/ directories. Should I add it in there?
[17:09] <ajacom> thanks for the help guys. here it goes: pastebin.com/Gg2TUSNG
[17:09] <tucemiux> Optichip, i wonder if it's possible to install clonezilla iso to a usb drive? o.O
[17:09] <wilee-nilee> we want a terminal if a pastebin is useed
[17:09] <WeThePeople> can someone teach me how to use 3proxy?
[17:09] <Optichip> tucemiux, yup
[17:09] <Jimster480-L> tucemiux: you could with a YUMI or a similar linux utility
[17:09] <Optichip> tucemiux, well you can use DD or unetbootin
[17:10] <Jimster480-L> we were talking about it here last night.
[17:10] <Jimster480-L> yea but DD gonna erase his drive
[17:11] <Griffin40> when i type dmesg it says gdm normal process killed by term signal
[17:11] <ajacom> wilee-nilee, did you get the url ?
[17:11] <wilee-nilee> ajacom, Yeah you have in the sda HD a extended already with a linux setup, I missed what you final goal is here is it a upgrade on the windows side?
[17:12] <optikx> i need a blank dvd so i can install freebsd
[17:12] <ajacom> wilee-nilee: i have windows 8 installed. i want to dual boot with ubuntu, that's all.
[17:12] <ajacom> that's my final goal
[17:12] <ajacom> i prepared a fat32 partition to share my work between installs
[17:12] <trism> cellofellow: lightdm uses upstart, check out /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log to see if there were errors
[17:13] <wallythemoose> oy vey. Issues with a jmicron_graid controller and ubuntu. Not detecting windows is the least of my problems
[17:13] <Optichip> Griffin40, did you try to do a    sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[17:13] <alexfpms> ajacom, i think grub doesn't support yet windows 8
[17:13] <ajacom> alexfpms: i've seen some tutorials online on how to dual boot win8 with ubuntu. they don't have this issue, though :/
[17:14] <Griffin40> Optichip, Yes I think i did
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> ajacom, You have a extended sda4 that is good you want the linux inside that I see a sda5 and sda6 in there already.
[17:14] <DaemonicApathy> Isn't wubi able to install Ubuntu using the Windows boot manager?
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> DaemonicApathy, It boots with the windows boot,
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> you install from windows is all
[17:14] <ajacom> wilee-nilee: that was what the installer did just now after selecting "install alongside windows 8"
[17:14] <VLG06> hello
[17:15] <Griffin40> Optichip, If I type that nothing happens
[17:15] <Optichip> Griffin40,  http://askubuntu.com/questions/161736/ubuntu-box-just-redisplaying-login-screen-after-update  check that link
[17:16] <faLUCE> Hi, is there a media center for ubuntu that DOES NOT USE GPU for decoding?
[17:16] <wilee-nilee> ajacom, Cool I always do a manual install, so I'm not up on how the unstaller will react after seeing some bad results others have had but this is on the UF or here where people come for help.
[17:17] <wilee-nilee> If it ain't broke they don't come here or the forums usually
[17:17] <arunkumar413> abode flash player plugin want to use my camera and mike but when i click allow nothing happens
[17:17] <mordonez> Hi guys I have tried to upgrade to 12.10
[17:17] <mordonez> for some reason I had a lot of problems
[17:18] <mordonez> now I dealing with this
[17:18] <mordonez>  trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libgexiv2.so.1.0.0', which is also in package libgexiv2-0 0.4.1-1oneiric5
[17:18] <mordonez> any ideas how to solve this?
[17:18] <alexfpms> ajacom, option to "Install along side Windows" does not work. Users need to create a boot partition, and install the GRUB bootloader to that partition.
[17:18] <arunkumar413> i'm using ubuntu 12.10
[17:19] <wilee-nilee> alexfpms, Since when do you need a boot partition
[17:19] <mordonez> this is the complete error
[17:19] <mordonez> http://pastebin.com/Tvs0ch0V
[17:19] <wols_> mordonez: libgexiv2-0 0.4.1-1oneiric5 is not part of oneiric
[17:19] <aminosamigos> i am trying to install 12.10 from a usb stick
[17:19] <aminosamigos> i got an error
[17:20] <mordonez> how can I solve it wols_
[17:20] <wols_> mordonez: you got it from PPA or some other place. and things like this happen when you use PPAs
[17:20] <mordonez> please give me a hand
[17:20] <arunkumar413> dash is  not revealing when i move the mouse to the left side of the screen
[17:20] <wols_> mordonez: you uninstall the crap
[17:20] <alexfpms> wilee-nilee, is it a question ?
[17:21] <DaemonicApathy> arunkumar413: what happens when you move it to the upper left corner?
[17:21] <wilee-nilee> alexfpms, The statement is a bit strange is all that install alongside does not work that makes no sense it does work, a boot partition is rarely needed as well.
[17:21] <mordonez> Is there a way what program uses it?
[17:21] <faLUCE> hi, is there a good media center that DOESN'T USE GPU?
[17:21] <Jimster480-L> did that Winodws 8 guy get his stuff fixed?
[17:21] <Jimster480-L> why faLUCE are you on intel? lol
[17:22] <Jimster480-L> you can always disable GPU accel
[17:22] <wols_> mordonez: you will see when you try to uninstall it
[17:22] <Jimster480-L> for those of you using Intel
[17:22] <wilee-nilee> alexfpms, I think I have missed part of his problem though so I tried asking what was up.
[17:22] <arunkumar413> DaemonicApathy, nothing happens
[17:22] <alexfpms> wilee-nilee, problem comes with UEFI enabled OS like windows 8, grub might not work in that case
[17:22] <ajacom> Jimster480-L: I didn't :D
[17:22] <faLUCE> Jimster480-L: exactly :-)
[17:23] <DaemonicApathy> arunkumar413: And when you hit the Super key?
[17:23] <Jimster480-L> well disable the GPU accel in the media player like you can with VLC
[17:23] <mordonez> where? I don't know what uninstall
[17:23] <arunkumar413> DaemonicApathy, when i press the super key, it opens the dash
[17:23] <faLUCE> Jimster480-L: it's not enough for xbmc
[17:23] <faLUCE> since the gui still uses gpu
[17:23] <wilee-nilee> alexfpms, I see I believe you need to have a UEFI setup on the computer but grub does work in a UEFI just needs some different work.
[17:23] <ajacom> alexfpms: so should i remove the partitions the installer did, and reinstall, but this time, create a boot partition manually ??
[17:24] <DaemonicApathy> arunkumar413: If the panel is revealed when you open the Dash, you may just want to disable auto-hide.
[17:24] <Jimster480-L> lol how can ur gui lag
[17:24] <opcode0> I got a problem in 12.04 since yesterday, when I want to install new packages/updates, it warns that this action would require installing packages from unauthenticated repositories. Anyone elese got that?
[17:24] <arunkumar413> DaemonicApathy, i want to auto-hide.My problem is when i move the mouse it doesn't reveal
[17:25] <DaemonicApathy> arunkumar413: Alternatively, you could adjust the sensitivity of the revel under System Settings > Appearance.
[17:25] <alexfpms> ajacom, i have never tested grub with windows 8, but in that case is preferable to have a boot partition. so yes you can try
[17:25] <DaemonicApathy> s/revel/reveal
[17:25] <ajacom> alexfpms: should the boot partition be in the free hdd space? (after sda3 in this case)
[17:25] <arunkumar413> daemon, i tried adjusting, but nothing happens
[17:25] <ajacom> or that doens't matter?
[17:25] <t4b> hey, how would I temporarily disable an user account?
[17:26] <fazzaan> opcode0: have you changed the repositories? I had mine set to download from the UK servers, and I got the unauthenticated issue today as well. Maybe there's something up with them at the moment?
[17:26] <opcode0> I didnt change any
[17:27] <DaemonicApathy> arunkumar413: Are you using NVidia drivers?
[17:27] <arunkumar413> DaemonicApathy, yes
[17:27] <alexfpms> ajacom, the boot partition should be primary but you already have 3 primaries
[17:27] <DaemonicApathy> https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1057000
[17:27] <mordonez> wols_: please tell me how can I know, to be honest I didn't understand what you said
[17:28] <arunkumar413> DaemonicApathy, i have a nvidia graphic card on my system, but sure if it is being used effectively by ubuntu
[17:28] <tucemiux> Optichip, i went to the clonezilla site and after doing a 360, i installed tuxboot - now im burning clonezilla to my usb drive o.O
[17:28] <wilee-nilee> ajacom, You have to have everything inside that sda4 a extended, you could set all this up with gparted then use a manual something else install.
[17:28] <Optichip> tucemiux, *cheer*
[17:29] <DaemonicApathy> arunkumar413: I won't be much help with that, but it does look like they're working on your problem.
[17:29] <opcode0> other thing, 12.04 doesn't say anything about 12.10 being available :/
[17:29] <alexfpms> ajacom, i'm wrong boot might be logical too
[17:29] <wols_> mordonez: simply answer you can't without temporarily breaking your package system
[17:29] <arunkumar413> DaemonicApathy, working on which one: dash or adobe flash
[17:30] <fazzaan> opcode0: I'm not sure then, sorry =/ I guess just retry it. As long as you haven't added any other sources manually, you should be fine doing updates as they come straight from Canonical's servers
[17:30] <wilee-nilee> alexfpms, Sorry I missed your post I wont interfere. ;)
[17:30] <mordonez> is there any page where I can see how can I do what you suggest or can you give me simple instructions so I can follow them on internet?
[17:30] <DaemonicApathy> The Unity Panel, arun.
[17:31] <DaemonicApathy> Flash is just horrible
[17:31] <arunkumar413> DaemonicApathy, can i downgrade to 12.04
[17:31] <HelloWorld321> how do I take a screenshot?
[17:31] <alexfpms> wilee-nilee, no problem you can interfere ;)
[17:31] <wilee-nilee> HelloWorld321 prtsc key
[17:31] <HelloWorld321> How obvious is that.  Thanks.\
[17:31] <ajacom> wilee-nilee, alexfpms: So. 1) I remove everything and get the free space back. 2) Load installer 3) "Something else" 4) Create extended partition 5) Create /boot, primary, inside, 250mb 6) Create swap, 2gb, 7) Create ex2 for linux. 8) Install
[17:31] <ajacom> =)
[17:31] <DaemonicApathy> arunkumar413: If you backup your data and install it clean.
[17:32] <gigia> Hi ! How can I install GNOME 3 on Ubuntu 12.04 ?
[17:32] <alexfpms> ajacom, there is no 4
[17:32] <wilee-nilee> gigia, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[17:32] <alexfpms> ajacom, you choose create /boot, type logical that's all
[17:33] <ajacom> alexfpms: ok
[17:33] <ajacom> thanks =)
[17:33] <alexfpms> ajacom, it will create extended if needed
[17:33] <wilee-nilee> gigia, You actually have gnome 3 already but thta will install the shell to use it.
[17:33] <arunkumar413> DaemonicApathy, no backup,  it takes times, can i downgrade without installing. since i upgraded yesterday, can i restore my system so that i get 12.04
[17:33] <gigia> Thanks, how can I remove Unity ?
[17:33] <wilee-nilee> !nounity
[17:34] <alexfpms> ajacom, ex2 ? you mean ext2 ?
[17:34] <ajacom> ae
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> gigia  no need to remove, install something different and use that
[17:34] <ajacom> alexfpms: yes, or ext4
[17:34] <wilee-nilee> gigia, unity is a plugin in compiz which is the window manager runiing on top of gnome 3 I would leave unity alone myself.
[17:34] <ajacom> i mean the "linux one"
[17:34] <alexfpms> ajacom, why not ext4
[17:34] <ajacom> alexfpms: yes, yes. i'm just confused on the names. i'll use ext4
[17:35] <gigia> Thanks !
[17:36] <alexfpms> ajacom, your BIOS is UEFI enabled?
[17:37] <Jisawesome2> Can someone help me install a network driver on my ubuntu server
[17:37] <ajacom> alexfpms: i'm not sure. yes the box says "Dual UEFI"
[17:38] <borax12> Hello people ,got some 12.10 queries
[17:38] <ajacom> Oh no. not again.
[17:38] <ajacom> the usb stick died.
[17:38] <ajacom> it's the second USB stick that is killed trying to install ubuntu =(
[17:39] <ajacom> i don't know why. maybe it's that "persistence" stuff.
[17:39] <kpullen> ajacom: The USB stick doesn't function at all anymore?
[17:39] <borax12> first of all ,are the ati cards giving a problem in 12.10 ?
[17:39] <ajacom> kpullen: no. it's the second one
[17:39] <ajacom> kpullen: it shows up in My Computer, though
[17:39] <ajacom> and on disk administrator as well
[17:39] <alexfpms> ajacom, it's that "persistence" stuff? what do you mean ?
[17:39] <kpullen> ajacom: Oh good, so theoretically it still functions
[17:40] <ajacom> yea
[17:40] <ajacom> i just can't format it
[17:41] <loki_>  irc.rizon.net
[17:41] <kpullen> ajacom: Do you know the USB stick's device path? It should be something like /dev/sdb
[17:41] <ajacom> windows was unable to complete the format
[17:41] <loki_> sorry
[17:41] <Ycarene> os prober isn't seeing my windows install, it's saying "no volume groups found"
[17:41] <ajacom> kpullen: i'm on windows. i couldn't boot into linux
[17:42] <kpullen> ajacom: Ohhhh
[17:42] <Jisawesome2> Can someone help me install a network driver?
[17:42] <ajacom> i had the live cd there =
[17:42] <ajacom> =(
[17:42] <ajacom> i must really want to install linux....
[17:42] <kpullen> ajacom: Any chance you live in Portland, Oregon? There's an Ubuntu 12.10 release party, and if you come to that we might be able to get your USB stick working again.
[17:43] <ajacom> kpullen: i'd love to, but i'm at the other side of the world right now
[17:43] <salis> hi all, i'm having some trouble boot my ubuntu server after an update to grub.  my root partition is on an lvm and im getting an error stating that "physical volume pv0 not found."
[17:44] <ajacom> :)
[17:44] <ajacom> what if i just use Wubi... ?
[17:44] <kpullen> ajacom: That makes it difficult. Wubi is a good option. I think it will allow you to install right from Windows, so you won't even need to use your thumb drive. I've never used it though.
[17:44] <arunkumar413> the adobe flash player plugin  is freezing in chromium. the plugin want to access my cam and mic but i'm not able to allow. it's not responding
[17:45] <kpullen> arunkumar413: Are you running 12.10? A couple of other people mentioned an issue with flash in 12.10 last night.
[17:46] <Jimster480-L> The thing with Wubi though is that that is no real hibernate support
[17:46] <arunkumar413> kpullen, yes i'm running 12.10
[17:47] <ajacom> Jimster480-L: i really don't mind about that...
[17:47] <Guest51997> do I login again?
[17:47] <Jisawesome2> Can someone help me install a network driver?
[17:48] <kpullen> arunkumar413: Well, this might not fix your issue, but others are having problems with flash due to compositing. Disabling it seems to resolve the issue<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[17:48] <Jimster480-L> ajacom: well then try it. I uesd it for like a year on a machine i coudlnt mess aroudn with the partition tables on
[17:49] <yshi> does anyone know much about using s/pdif with ubuntu? i've had a problem getting more than stereo output since i got it under 12.04
[17:49] <ajacom> Jimster480-L: is there a way to migrate to real linux installation after you're done with wubi ?
[17:49] <ajacom> without losing everything ?
[17:50] <yshi> choosing the output on my mobo my only digital output options are stereo and stereo with input
[17:50] <yshi> using my nvidia card i can choose from 4 stereo and 3 5.1 options. one of the stereo gets sound, the 5.1 that WOULD is missing
[17:51] <wilee-nilee> ajacom, Yes https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi
[17:51] <yshi> i have tried looking at the file that populates the list you choose from, but it has everything right, the 5.1 just doesnt show up
[17:51] <fred_F> I cant install programs

[17:59] <alexfpms> Ciniu, in console type: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates
[17:59] <Ciniu> thank You, i'll try
[17:59] <allohak> I have a device that used to show up as /dev/ttyACM0. I unplugged it and for some reason linux didn't register that event so /dev/ttyACM0 still showed up even though the device was unplugged. I plugged the device back in and it registed as /dev/ttyACM1. I tried doing 'sudo rm /dev/ttyACM0' and restarting udev. /dev/ttyACM0 no long shows up, but the device still registers as /dev/ttyACM1 when I plug it in. Is there a way to get it back to registering as /dev
[17:59] <allohak> /ttyACM0 without restarting the machine?
[17:59] <fred_F> its a viewer. Imprudence
[17:59] <fred_F> You can use it in Secondlive

[18:01] <Jisawesome2> If I told you the card id could you tell me what to do?
[18:01] <Xtremeasure> alexfpms : ikr alot of the answers to the questions here should be first or second on google i get tired of linking people to the articles after a while
[18:01] <lion42> fred_F, second life's own viewer should work fine in ubuntu. What problem are you having?
[18:02] <Xtremeasure> Jisawesome2 : it could go more indepth depending on the card
[18:02] <alexfpms> Sahtimo, do you see the icons ?
[18:02] <Sahtimo> no
[18:02] <Sahtimo> only wallpaper
[18:02] <Jisawesome2> xtrmemeasure, if I told you the card number, could you help me
[18:02] <fred_F> U can use a lot viewers in Second Live
[18:03] <Xtremeasure> what type of card is it?
[18:03] <alexfpms> Sahtimo, which version of ubuntu ?
[18:03] <Sahtimo> 12.10

[18:03] <Jisawesome2> realtek 8139
[18:03] <lion42> fred_F, right, I mean the linden labs default viewer should work fine.
[18:03] <lion42> fred_F, this should have everything you need to get set up. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linux_Viewer
[18:03] <alexfpms> Xtremeasure, you're right
[18:04] <Xtremeasure> you have to turn on the icons in the tweak tool at least i had to im running 12.10 gnome remix
[18:04] <Jisawesome2> I am using server, not desktop
[18:04] <Yizak> Hey ppl, I was wondering if someone can help me here, I just installed Ubuntu but it micro-freezes completely in graphics and sound for a while like 2 secs and then it runs normally again, those micro-freezes are frequently and I haven't found anything related to my problem on google :(
[18:04] <fred_F> I want to use the Imprudence or the Singularity viewer
[18:04] <alexfpms> Sahtimo, sudo apt-get purge nvidia* && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic nvidia-current-updates
[18:04] <fred_F> I downloaded the files for Linux
[18:05] <Sahtimo> ok i try
[18:05] <Xtremeasure> Jisaawesome2 are you looking for normal network connectivity or actually using the card to serve other computers in the network
[18:05] <alexfpms> Sahtimo, then reboot
[18:05] <fred_F> Did unpack an executed a script
[18:05] <Jisawesome2> Xtrememeasure, For the moment, I just want to connect to the interenet, but the ultimate goal is to serve files to other computers
[18:05] <fred_F> After that there was no viewer
[18:06] <Xtremeasure> jisawesome ok is it a pci network card?
[18:06] <alexfpms> Xtremeasure, people are lazy
[18:06] <Xtremeasure> alexfpms: well the network card thing can be daunting wont lie especially if ndis is involved i cring at ahe bcm ndis drivers
[18:06] <lion42> fred_F, unfortunately I don't know those clients and don't know their linux support. Have you tried running the LL viewer to at least see if that works for you/
[18:07] <Jisawesome2> xtrememeasure How can I find out
[18:07] <arunkumar413> how to downgrade from 12.10 to 12.04
[18:07] <lion42> I can't download those clients right now either to try and see how they run, sorry. :(
[18:07] <Yizak> Hey ppl, I was wondering if someone can help me here, I just installed Ubuntu but it micro-freezes completely in graphics and sound for a while like 2 secs and then it runs normally again, those micro-freezes are frequently and I haven't found anything related to my problem on google :(
[18:07] <Xtremeasure> jisawesome pastebin the output of lspci for me
[18:07] <fred_F> I use them in Windows
[18:07] <g105b> How can I revert the home directory to its correct permissions? I tried `chmod 0700 .` but the `ll` record shows `drws--S---`, I don't know what the capital S is for... it shouldn't be there
[18:07] <allohak> I have a device that used to show up as /dev/ttyACM0. I unplugged it and for some reason linux didn't register that event so /dev/ttyACM0 still showed up even though the device was unplugged. I plugged the device back in and it registed as /dev/ttyACM1. I tried doing 'sudo rm /dev/ttyACM0' and restarting udev. /dev/ttyACM0 no long shows up, but the device still registers as /dev/ttyACM1 when I plug it in. Restarting fixes the problem, but I need to be able
[18:08] <allohak> to fix it without restarting. Is there a way to get it back to registering as /dev/ttyACM0 without restarting the machine ?
[18:08] <Jisawesome2> xtrememeasure, I am using ubuntu server, so I cant copy

[18:24] <alexfpms> melow01, you moved your home partition ?
[18:24] <melow01> I dont understand why it would change
[18:24] <Yizak> tech2 no, it doesn't mention anything about CPU stuck :(
[18:24] <Jisawesome2> can you pm me
[18:24] <Xtremeasure> why do you say 12.10 sucks?
[18:24] <sfan5> Xtremeasure: he has a problem with flash player
[18:24] <tech2> Yizak: this is a good thing, means it's one less thing to worry about :)
[18:24] <melow01> Yes, I moved my home partition
[18:24] <bulletrulz> y
[18:25] <alexfpms> melow01, so where do you want to login ?
[18:25] <Xtremeasure> arunkumaru you have to disable the composite manager and the window decorator through compiz fusion icon to use the settings without going full screen
[18:25] <arunkumar413> Xtremeasure, it sucks bcoz the flash player plugin freezes and it doesn't reveal the dash when i move the mouse to the edge of the screen
[18:25] <Yizak> tech2 oh I see, but what could it be then? :S
[18:25] <wilee-nilee> arunkumar413, I suspect that would go over better in #ubuntu-offtopic this is support
[18:25] <alexfpms> melow01, did you modified your fstab ?
[18:25] <Jisawesome2> xtrememeasure, I am in the GRUB
[18:25] <alexfpms> melow01, did you modify your fstab ?
[18:25] <Xtremeasure> ok press tab jisa
[18:26] <tech2> Yizak: could be a number of things. COuld be networking, drivers, X, etc. etc.
[18:26] <Jisawesome2> It didnt do anything
[18:26] <Xtremeasure> at the bottom do you see a line of text
[18:26] <geekosopher> Sorry to repeat the question... my computer has frozen while installing 12.04 from live usb... machine is thinkpad e430
[18:26] <Jisawesome2> At the bottom I see some instructions
[18:26] <Xtremeasure> read them
[18:26] <Xtremeasure> lol
[18:27] <Jisawesome2> I did
[18:27] <geekosopher> 3rd gen i5
[18:27] <Yizak> damn :( then I'm kinda screwed
[18:28] <crazydip> is it possible to do a do-release-upgrade equivalent of apt-get --download-only so only deb files are downloaded but system is not upgraded?
[18:28] <alexfpms> melow01, your home partition is probably not mounted anymore, it is normal fail to login
[18:28] <Xtremeasure> give me a min jisawesome2 im doing some reading it seems that im telling you the incorrect way to add the boot tag
[18:28] <Jisawesome2> Xtreme, what am I supposed to do in the grub
[18:28] <alexfpms> crazydip, i don't think so. but why ?
[18:28] <melow01> Yes I modified fstab
[18:29] <fred_F> I dowloaded the secondlive viewer for Linux
[18:29] <Yizak> tech 2 thank you anyway, I'll see what I can do
[18:30] <fred_F> I tried to install it but nothing happen
[18:30] <Yizak> tech2 thank you anyway, I'll see what I can do
[18:30] <tech2> Yizak: good luck
[18:30] <mudhound> Anyone: Is it possible to 'connect' arbitrary software to the synthesizer already on my system ?
[18:30] <crazydip> alexfpms: i want to make the actual upgrade go as quickly as possible
[18:31] <crazydip> alexfpms: plenty of reasons why people would want to do it this way.... that's why apt-get has the -d option
[18:31] <alexfpms> crazydip, for that reason you can download an ISO
[18:32] <cowsquad> is anybody experiencing issues with the power button on their laptop not going into suspend mode?
[18:32] <cowsquad> because I am
[18:32] <alexfpms> crazydip, do-release-upgrade do a lot of things
[18:32] <wilee-nilee> cowsquad, That can be a per computer model issue.
[18:32] <alexfpms> crazydip, not just downloading .deb
[18:32] <cowsquad> i am on a toshiba a305-6278
[18:33] <melow01> I had to move machines...irc client wasn't working
[18:34] <melow01> I followed all the instructions on this page:
[18:34] <crazydip> alexfpms: yeah, i know - i think i'll just extract the deb files from iso image and place them in apt/archives - that should minimize the amount of packages do-release-upgrade downloads -- hopefully it does not ignore or clean the archives dir
[18:34] <melow01> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[18:35] <cowsquad> So the remote login in ubuntu 12.10 only works with computer running ubuntu 12.10 right?
[18:36] <alexfpms> melow01, what does it say ? df -h 2>/dev/null | grep home
[18:36] <wilee-nilee> cowsquad, Concerning the suspend topic I see somestuff on the web, may be a bug. I'm on a a205 right now I use the dropdown top right to suspend myself.
[18:37] <melow01> I'm logged in as recovery root
[18:37] <alexfpms> cowsquad, no
[18:37] <cowsquad> thats what I do too. thank for your help

[18:42] <cowsquad> alexfpms. I use putty and windows using Ip and it work great in terminal.
[18:43] <cowsquad> sfa5, I have no idea about forwad ports
[18:43] <alexfpms> cowsquad, do you have a static ip ?
[18:43] <VLG06> joi
[18:43] <theadmin> Jisawesome2: Yes, if you can ping, say, google.com your connection works well enough
[18:43] <Jisawesome2> Cool
[18:43] <Jisawesome2> I guess I fixed it then
[18:43] <GNUbuntu> hello
[18:43] <Jisawesome2> Onto the next question.... Can someone help me get by tasksel to work?
[18:44] <Ampersand> hello. i have a question - concerning the messaging menu icon in the panel. I have just upgraded from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. I use Thunderbird as my e-mail client. The problem is that when I receive a new message, the icon doesn't turn blue anymore. A notification is however displayed, but I might miss it. I was wondering if there's anything that could be done about this? (in 12.04 I didn't have this problem, it worked well)
[18:44] <excalibr> what's the shortcut key to switch between the same app windows?
[18:44] <erdo> How can I install xfce on Ubuntu 12.04 ?
[18:44] <stodge> Silly question but how do I get to this drivers window in Ubuntu 12.10 (i.e. with Unity)? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[18:45] <WeThePeople> can someone teach me how to use 3proxy?
[18:45] <theadmin> erdo: sudo apt-get install xfce4, or if you'd prefer to turn your whole Ubuntu install in Xubuntu, follow the message Ubottu will send you in a second.
[18:45] <theadmin> !purexfce | erdo
[18:45] <Kvaks> Are there any good software in the repos to analyse bandwidth usage? (Newbie-friendly)
[18:45] <Jisawesome2> Can someone help me get by tasksel to work?
[18:45] <Finnish> How do I run a .run file in terminal?
[18:46] <theadmin> Finnish: chmod +x something.run && ./something.run if that's an ELF file.
[18:46] <Kvaks> Finnish: chmod +x file.run ; ./file.run
[18:46] <theadmin> Finnish: If it isn't but is just some random thing, I dunno.
[18:46] <Finnish> Kvaks, Thanks
[18:46] <sfan5> i'm updating to 12.10 and my fonts broke
[18:46] <sfan5> lol
[18:47] <theadmin> sfan5: Um... Fonts?
[18:47] <theadmin> sfan5: Please give details on what exactly happened, a screenshot maybe?
[18:47] <sfan5> theadmin: anything in xchat looks weirs
[18:47] <sfan5> *weird
[18:47] <cowsquad> alexfmp I think is dynamic. How do i know if it is static or dynamic
[18:48] <fred_F> I cant install Programs I downloaded
[18:48] <stodge> Seems ubuntu isnt offering me any additional drivers, it doesn't think I have an nvidia card, which i do - 1000m
[18:48] <theadmin> fred_F: You're doing something wrong.
[18:48] <alexfpms> cowsquad, depends on your ISP, but you probably use a dynamic ip
[18:48] <theadmin> stodge: The Linux drivers for nvidia don't support all nvidia cards, unfortunately.
[18:48] <fred_F> yes, maybe
[18:48] <fred_F> but what??
[18:49] <theadmin> fred_F: What do you want to install? Mostly, you install programs from the Ubuntu Software Center or using apt-get on the terminal.
[18:49] <cowsquad> alexfmps, i use my phone internet. I have a galaxy nexus rooted so I use verizon mobile 4g on my laptop
[18:49] <alexfpms> cowsquad, what do you want to do? login from school ?
[18:49] <OerHeks> fred_F, what programm ?
[18:49] <fred_F> No, I downloaded the files
[18:49] <sfan5> theadmin: it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/8MHaj.png
[18:49] <cowsquad> yes, login from school
[18:49] <fred_F> Its the viewer for secondlive
[18:50] <theadmin> fred_F: Oh. What kinda files are they?
[18:50] <sfan5> cowsquad: be aware that your school may block ports
[18:50] <theadmin> sfan5: Looks fine to me, dunno
[18:50] <fred_F> I had to unpack
[18:50] <stodge> theadmin: ok - I see there is a txt.gz file of supported cards, but how do I view this?
[18:50] <alexfpms> cowsquad, the problem, if you ip is dynamic it changes over time. How could you know it from school ?
[18:50] <ardchoille> sfan5: most schools do
[18:50] <stodge> in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-current/README.txt.gz
[18:50] <fred_F> when unpacked there is a script I had to run
[18:51] <sfan5> theadmin: the font suddenly changed
[18:51] <theadmin> sfan5: zcat /usr/share/doc/nvidia-current/README.txt.gz
[18:51] <z_sdust> help: ircII is broken; whenever i write something nobody rereplies
[18:51] <stodge> ah less will do it
[18:51] <theadmin> Err. stodge, that zcat command was for you
[18:51] <Adamantus> Hi
[18:51] <theadmin> stodge: No, you can't "less" a gzipped file
[18:51] <cowsquad> okay, I check that before doing something. thank you alexfmps
[18:51] <alexfpms> cowsquad, you have to pass over something similar to no-ip, but than again are you sure your ISP allows connections to the port 23?
[18:51] <Adamantus> I can't seem to update from 12.04 to 12.10
[18:51] <stodge> theadmin: I did and it worked :)
[18:52] <Adamantus> It just says that there are not updates.
[18:52] <theadmin> stodge: hm okay, lol
[18:52] <stodge> :)
[18:52] <sfan5> theadmin: zless
[18:52] <theadmin> sfan5: Oh.
[18:52] <cowsquad> alexfpms. when I set up openshh-server i change the port to some number I created like 4344
[18:52] <antivirtel> hi, is there any solution to burn an universal boot cd, then eg. select the ISO from somewhere, then try/install that ubuntu, not to write out CD for every release (for the non USB boot supported MB-s)
[18:52] <OerHeks> fred_F, there is a readme.txt in that archiv
[18:52] <antivirtel> ?
[18:52] <fred_F> No not any
[18:53] <Adamantus> How do I upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 please?
[18:53] <cowsquad> so when I connect from my windows laptop I used that number and it worked just fine
[18:53] <alexfpms> cowsquad, are you sure your ISP alows to connect to 4344 from outside ?
[18:53] <sfan5> Adamantus: "do-release-upgrade" in console OR use update manager gui
[18:53] <faLUCE> hi, is there a good media center that DOESN'T USE GPU and has a youtube plugin?
[18:53] <cowsquad> let me get back to you in like 10 min alexfpms
[18:53] <fred_F> sorry, there is one, I read first
[18:53] <antivirtel> !upgrade | Adamantus
[18:54] <sfan5> alexfpms: the most isp's don't block any ports, you just need to port-forward
[18:54] <Adamantus> sfan5, "No new release found"
[18:54] <sfan5> weird!
[18:54] <bdrewery> same here
[18:54] <sfan5> try "sudo apt-get update"
[18:54] <alexfpms> sfan5, it depends mine blocks almost everything
[18:54] <sfan5> mine blocks nothing :)
[18:54] <Adamantus> ok
[18:54] <trism> Adamantus: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS
[18:54] <trism> Adamantus: you must enable normal release upgrades
[18:55] <stodge> weird the nvidia driver from software centre didn't seem to install anything
[18:55] <Adamantus> trism, Will have a look in a minute thanks.
[18:56] <antivirtel> hi, is there any solution to burn an universal boot cd, then eg. select the ISO from somewhere, then try/install that ubuntu, not to write out CD for every release (for the non USB boot supported MB-s)?
[18:56] <alexfpms> sfan5, and have to activate it from the isp web site and i sign an agreement that they are not responsible for in case of intrusion into my system
[18:56] <Necro> Hi guys, the bar that runs along the top and side of ubuntu 12.04 is missing for me. How can I get it back? (this problem is persistent through restarting, logging back in, etc)
[18:56] <tech2> antivirtel: is burning a new cd really that much of an issue?
[18:56] <fred_F> The only clue is: Run ./secondlife from the installation directory to start Second Life.
[18:57] <Necro> The top and side of the desktop*
[18:57] <fred_F> So it should work
[18:57] <antivirtel> tech2 it is unnecesarry & not very environment friendly
[18:57] <tech2> antivirtel: use a CDRW instead of a CDR?
[18:57] <sfan5> fred_F: you could write a script: "cd $secondlife_install_dir && ./secondlife"
[18:58] <antivirtel> tech2 there is some disadvantage of RW tech, the speed, etc... If I can, I want to use the USB solution, but if I can't I have to do something...
[18:58] <fred_F> The readme says also: The Second Life Linux client can entirely run from the directory you have
[18:58] <fred_F> unpacked it into - no installation step is required.
[18:59] <bulletrulz> im keep getting crash report detected and it wont STOP!
[18:59] <Walex> Necro: that's used to be the "panel" in old versions of GNOME, just add a new one.
[18:59] <overclucker> antivirtel: you can debootstrap a new version from an older livecd. it won't be nearly as fast as the live installer though.
[18:59] <tech2> antivirtel: right, if you're using a machine incapable of booting from USB, you use the CDRW, if you can use USB, use that, problem solved.
[19:00] <tech2> antivirtel: if a machine is incapable of booting from USB, chances are the speed issue of CDRW isn't going to be too much of an issue is it?
[19:00] <antivirtel> overclucker can you explain that debootstrap?
[19:00] <guest-cvyd5q> hola
[19:00] <xflr6> halo
[19:00] <guest-cvyd5q> nhhgghhgh
[19:01] <antivirtel> tech2 you may right, otherwise the problem is, that I have no (working) RW at home... I have to buy one :)
[19:01] <guest-cvyd5q> perdó
[19:01] <Necro> Walex: how do I add a new one?
[19:01] <guest-cvyd5q> hola
[19:01] <Ampersand> I have just upgraded from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. I use Thunderbird as my e-mail client. The problem is that when I receive a new message, the icon doesn't turn blue anymore. A notification is however displayed, but I might miss it. I was wondering if there's anything that could be done about this? (in 12.04 I didn't have this problem, it worked well)
[19:01] <WeThePeople> why is it on my iso (cd) of backtrack the internet is much faster than on my ubuntu hdd ??
[19:01] <overclucker> !debootstrap
[19:01] <Walex> Necro: can't remember, probably right click on the desktop
[19:01] <Adamantus> trism, It's detecting the upgrade now,thanks.
[19:02] <fred_F> it gives an error: libGL error: failed to load driver: i915
[19:02] <fred_F> libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.
[19:02] <fred_F> libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
[19:02] <fred_F> libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.
[19:02] <fred_F> The program 'do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin' received an X Window System error.
[19:02] <FloodBot1> fred_F: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:02] <fred_F> This probably reflects a bug in the program.
[19:04] <tech2> anyone know how to get telepathy-haze and pidgin-sipe working in Quantal?
[19:05] <matt____> hello, which of nvidia driver shoud I choose in additional drivers?
[19:05] <matt____> i have got 3, and two of them are nearly the same
[19:05] <alexfpms> matt____, you can choose updates
[19:06] <alexfpms> matt____, they are more recent
[19:06] <matt____> You mean nvidia-current-updates?
[19:06] <themhz> sudo chmod -R 644 var/www/*.php to give recursively permissions only to php files?
[19:06] <alexfpms> matt____, yes
[19:06] <matt____> thank you
[19:07] <matt____> and how can I change nickname in this ?
[19:07] <sfan5> matt____: do you mean irc?
[19:07] <matt____> yeah
[19:07] <ardchoille> themhz: you don't need the -R if you ar eonly working with files in the same dir
[19:07] <sfan5> /nick the_name_you_want
[19:07] <tech2> themhz: no  probably something more like   find var/www -name '*.php' | sudo xargs chmod 644
[19:08] <matt____> don't work Sfan5
[19:08] <matt____> doesn't*
[19:08] <themhz> oh thank you guys ardchoille and tech2
[19:09] <ardchoille> themhz: also, you need to be careful when chmod'ing recursively because removing the execute bit from directories will lock users out
[19:09] <tech2> themhz: if there's a chance you have a directory named <something>.php then you'll probably also need to add -type f to the find command
[19:09] <themhz> aha
[19:10] <ardchoille> tech2: good advice
[19:10] <Myrtti> fred_F: FloodBots are bots, programmes that protect the channel
[19:10] <tech2> themhz: best generally to run the find by itself to see what it will affect
[19:11] <themhz> tech2, sorry directory with  name <something>.php?
[19:12] <themhz> or file
[19:12] <Myrtti> fred_F: they can't answer or help you. Please post the information into a pastebin and post your question in the channel.
