[00:00] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: no such directory as ~/.config/autostart
[00:00] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: if it matters, I;m using lubuntu, not ubuntu
[00:00] <dr_willis> :~/.config/autostart$ ls
[00:00] <dr_willis> chromium-browser.desktop
[00:01] <dr_willis> lubuntu uses it also i belive
[00:01] <dr_willis> it definatly started that browser when i logged into Lubuntu just now
[00:01] <battlehands> dr_willis: ash: cd: /home/battlehands/.config/autostart$: No such file or directory
[00:01] <battlehands> bash*
[00:01] <dr_willis> battlehands:  so make the dir
[00:02] <nydel> can "find" look through hidden files?
[00:02] <phyrexianslug> define "hidden"? :P
[00:02] <dr_willis> hidden are not really hidden they just got . in the start of the name.
[00:02] <dr_willis> and apps overlook them out of common convention.
[00:02] <nydel> beginning with a period, phyrexianslug
[00:02] <battlehands> dr_willis:  mkdir ~/.config/autostart  ?
[00:02] <dr_willis> battlehands:  thats one way
[00:02] <battlehands> dr_willis: why would I make a directory when ActionParsnip wants me to get files from somewhere
[00:03] <battlehands> I don't understand
[00:03] <nydel> dr_willis: does that mean that find does not find hiddens or that it does?
[00:03] <phyrexianslug> @nydel:  that just excludes them from ls.   any other tool will see them as normal folders.
[00:03] <Presonus_Probs> Thanks PhyrexianSlug, sorry im slow to type, havent used IRC for years
[00:03] <phyrexianslug> easiest (and worst) use of find:    find /* | grep "whatyourelookingfor"
[00:03] <dr_willis> theres no really 'hidden' files.. if you use the proper syntax to find.. it will see names that begin with a . same as any other file
[00:04] <battlehands> ActionParsnip: please advise
[00:04] <lotuspsychje> howto fix a corrupt square mouse pointer and screen corruption every cold boot on precise 12.04.1 clean installed('nomodeset' fixes this but then compiz is unworkable
[00:04] <tking> if i press control key for 4 seconds and release i see a round circle around the mouse pointer like this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46512205/Screenshot%20from%202012-09-13%2023%3A59%3A45.png
[00:04] <nydel> phyrexianslug: i understand, thank you. yes that's my usual use of find, well not exactly, but i do pipe it with grep
[00:05] <dr_willis> tking:  that sounds like compiz's 'find the pointer feature'
[00:05] <nydel> phyrexianslug: is that better than ls -aR / | grep whatever
[00:05] <DocD90> ActionParsnip, hi are you there?
[00:06] <phyrexianslug> find is much lighter on CPU time then ls. (someone feel free to correct me, that's just off the top of my head)
[00:06] <tking> dr_willis i have uninstalled compiz
[00:06] <hydester> anybody running Windows Media Center (Windows 8 preview) in a VM on 12.04?  if so, which hypervisor are you using?  i'm having bad luck with vbox in this specific situation
[00:06] <lotuspsychje> tking:you sure its not your wallpaper lol?
[00:07] <dr_willis> tking:  so what desktop are you using?
[00:07] <tking> am reset compiz and uninstalled it
[00:07] <tking> so am using default
[00:08] <nydel> phyrexianslug: cool, thanks for the help
[00:08] <dr_willis> using default what?
[00:08] <tking> i assume cos i ran some command to act like its first time to use ubuntu. The command is suppose to reset all settings done on gnome
[00:08] <tking> am using Unity
[00:08] <lotuspsychje> hydester:maybe this can help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1923412
[00:09] <dr_willis> if you removed compiz.. you are not using the 'default' you are using Unity2d?
[00:09] <tking> am using unity 3d
[00:09] <lotuspsychje> lol
[00:09] <dr_willis> Unity3d uses compiz.. which you said you removed.. or did i missunderstand.
[00:10] <tking> without compiz unity 3d exists
[00:10] <dr_willis> unity 3d  is a plugin for compiz.. so i think thats not correct...
[00:10] <tking> on login options you could select, Unity, Unity 2d, Gnome Classic etc... I assume Unity on its own is 3d because it makes icons on launcher fold
[00:11] <dr_willis> and you said you removed compiz... so somthign is not making sence here.
[00:11] <tking> yes,
[00:11] <hydester> lotuspsychje: you using it?
[00:11] <lotuspsychje> hydester:no sorry mate ubuntu all the way here
[00:11] <dr_willis> compiz definatly has a plugin/accessability feature to make the cursor flash/animate for  people who are visually impared
[00:12] <dr_willis> brb
[00:12] <tking> dr_willis, whats the difference between Unity and Unity 2s
[00:12] <tking> 2d
[00:12] <lotuspsychje> tking:install ccsm, you will soon find out if compiz still runs or not
[00:12] <seednode> 2d is less eyecandy-ful and easier on hardware.
[00:13] <hydester> lotuspsychje: heh.  i'm just using it for windows media center.  pretty nice, esp if only $40.  but the crashing is a deal breaker.  i'll possibly uninstall guest additions then.  thanks
[00:13] <dr_willis> unity3d is a compiz plugin.. unity2d is not.
[00:13] <ubuntugeek> hi #ubuntu, I work on webkit project (http://www.webkit.org). Earlier I was using 11.10 and recently shifted to 12.04. But I am experiencing the compilation is much slower in 12.04 than 11.10. Anybody facing the same issue during compile cycle with any projects?
[00:14] <Coloradan> 'allo all. minor question for a major issue here.... I have an older laptop thats been sidelined until recently. just installed 12.04 on it, and it seems the builtin touch pad does not exist,
[00:14] <lotuspsychje> ubuntugeek: wasnt webkit unsupported by 12.04?
[00:14] <Coloradan> i've got two usb mice, one which works, but is my mouse for my main laptop, and another i would like to use for this laptop, but is not recognized at all.
[00:15] <ubuntugeek> lotuspsychje: in fact I have a situation where my gtk port only builds with 12.04 out of the box whereas 11.10 I need to handfix a lot of broken packages..:)
[00:15] <Coloradan> wmy main question is, what can i do to get either the touchpad, or the wireless usb mouse, to be identified or recognized?
[00:15] <tking> lotuspsychje, i have tried to but i find compiz installed from software center and not compizconfig settings manager
[00:15] <seednode> Is Synaptics installed?
[00:16] <DocD90> ActionParsnip, ??? ....i have a little trouble with openssh, can you help me?
[00:16] <tking> but when i search compiz in dash nothing shows up
[00:16] <seednode> tking: You just need to install ccsm?
[00:16] <seednode> It's 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager'
[00:17] <DocD90> I go...n8
[00:17] <lotuspsychje> tking: like dr_willis says unity3d runs on compiz
[00:17] <dr_willis> !ccsm
[00:18] <lotuspsychje> ubuntugeek:not sure mate, havent played with it
[00:18] <dr_willis> http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Showmouse

[00:19] <subcool> i just tried to cat the file- but--- came out gibberish

[00:25] <abuayyoub> lotuspsychje thanks, I was wondering if  someone please help me out here. I have a WD 1TB external hard disk ( the one with the power source) I had it hooked up to my Ubuntu machine a week or so ago and I was watching a video off it and my power went out. When the power came back on all the contents ( almost 900 GB ) of my film folder was empty. The space was still allocated but the folder shows 0 items. Now, I tried two different programs for the Mac
[00:25] <abuayyoub> recover deleted files and all it managed to do was find files that I had actually deleted. the 900 GB of data that went missing was nowhere to be found. I tried also apples disk utility, disk aide, disk daisy, disk drill nothing The files weren't deleted obviously they are just not visible. I dont own a windows machine and my linux box doesn't have internet access. Someone please help I have my entire collection of Stargate Sg-1, Dexter, Breaking Bad,
[00:25] <abuayyoub> Wire, Firefly and TNG  on there I'm desperate!
[00:25] <lotuspsychje> abuayyoub:are you on ubuntu right now?
[00:26] <subcool> ugh- ok.. it is a sh
[00:26] <subcool> but it errors..
[00:26] <abuayyoub> no im on the mac. Wifi died on my ubuntu machine. But I can load it in VM ware
[00:26] <andreb> dr_wills can i use a 12.04 lts cd to use gpoart on a 10.04lts install ?
[00:26] <subcool> andreb, yea-
[00:26] <lotuspsychje> abuayyoub:so you want to recover files on the hd?
[00:26] <abuayyoub> yes, lotuspsychje
[00:26] <dr_willis> andreb:  gparted dosent really care. :)  so thats a yes
[00:26] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk | abuayyoub
[00:27] <lotuspsychje> abuayyoub:install testdisk, then run sudo photorec after to recover partitions
[00:27] <abuayyoub> cool
[00:28] <subcool> Ok- thanks guys, i kinda got a handle on it- the script is simple.. (i opened the wrong file) but- it still erros..
[00:28] <subcool> case "`uname -m`" in

[00:29] <lotuspsychje> abuayyoub:had the same with a WD book, lost it all...
[00:30] <abuayyoub> Never had a problem till now. Seems strange that the date would be still allocated but not available or even visible.
[00:30] <abuayyoub> lotuspsychje:  oh thats harsh man

[00:39] <Gycklarn> yeah, I figured, but I was hoping there'd be a quicker way
[00:39] <bazhang> lotuspsychje, gksudo
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> tking: ask the channel and it will reply if it can
[00:39] <bazhang> !gksudo | lotuspsychje Gycklarn
[00:39] <blackshirt> lotuspsychje, don't sugest them

[00:41] <drupin> my screen hangs after some activity .. i have a usb install like after 4 hours nothing happens then.. option left is reboot manually from CPU
[00:41] <excise> I'm having problems with choppy flash playback regardless of the website it comes from.  has anyone else been experiencing this?
[00:42] <wifioregon> I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed but unfortunetly need to install XP side by side. I'd prefer to not have to remove the current Ubuntu, install XP, and then install Ubuntu, but if it comes down to it I will.  Could someone give me a good guide to install XP side by side Ubuntu AFTER ubuntu it installed?
[00:43] <tking> its a long story, i have been using compiz and i got tired because desktop rotate is not stable, so i checked online and removed compiz following some tutorials. Then i reboot. It took me hours i even slept of waiting for things to load as usual without compiz. When i woke in the morning. I saw some activity bla bla bla. So i later found out it booted into "Gnome Shell" as they called it. The i rebooted and logged in to Unity as there were options like "Gno
[00:43] <tking> me", "Gnome Classic", "Ubuntu", "Ubuntu 2D". But now when i press the control key i get some kind of animated flashing stuff around my pointer, which is iritating. Today someone said i am using 3d maybe. That i should re-install ccsm. I did and it froze my computer.
[00:43] <wifioregon> tking:  I use gnome class is well :-)
[00:43] <Troy^> is there a openssh setting to allow external connections?
[00:43] <wifioregon> *classic
[00:43] <wifioregon> Troy^:  You have to port forward if you have a router to do it
[00:44] <wifioregon> Troy^:  Go into your router settings and set up forwarding for port 22
[00:44] <Troy^> wifioregon: yea it's down but i can't seem to use my own external ip address to connect to it.. and i'm not using port 22
[00:44] <Troy^> wifioregon: yes it's forwarded
[00:44] <wifioregon> Troy^:  When you scan your external IP with nmap, does it show the SSH port as open?
[00:44] <andreb> can anyon help me ?
[00:45] <tking> wifioregon, can you help?
[00:45] <wifioregon> tking:  with?
[00:45] <zruty> How to read off a mac formatted flash drive?
[00:46] <wifioregon> zruty:  reformat it with gparted to fat32

[00:46] <hashem> tking, that's an options in mouse and touchpad
[00:47] <tking> hashem, whats the option please?
[00:47] <zruty> wifioregon: Yes, but there is data on it now
[00:47] <hashem> tking, can't you open the program and read it?
[00:48] <wifioregon> tking:  sorry I dont know
[00:48] <wifioregon> tking:  other than switch your windows manager which is hardly a solution
[00:48] <tking> Hashem thanks
[00:48] <liberty223> Hi I am running 12.04, with ultrabook with Intel 4000 graphics. When I launch certain games eg bastion, I get absolutely no graphics, just the cursor and sound
[00:48] <liberty223> Should I update to new kernel and if so what is best way to do so
[00:50] <wifioregon> liberty223:  updating kernel isnt going to help
[00:50] <wifioregon> liberty223:  try running the "additional drivers" application
[00:50] <wifioregon> liberty223:  its built into Ubuntu
[00:50] <wifioregon> liberty223:  and then install your graphics drivers
[00:50] <liberty223> I have intel 4000 graphics
[00:50] <liberty223> there are no additional drivers
[00:50] <aelmajid> Hi
[00:50] <liberty223> intel doesn't have proprietary linux drivers
[00:50] <aelmajid> There's some one to help me please?
[00:50] <aelmajid> with backtrack5
[00:50] <wifioregon> liberty223:  perhaps its not good enough to play games?
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> tking: isn't the flashing stuff a compiz plugin
[00:51] <liberty223> Perhaps I need to update kernel?
[00:51] <liberty223> Intel graphics should be very good at this point
[00:52] <wifioregon> liberty223:  do the updates
[00:52] <wifioregon> liberty223:  that will update kernel
[00:52] <liberty223> I did sudo apt-get upgrade already
[00:52] <wifioregon> liberty223:  open terminal and run:  sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:52] <wifioregon> liberty223:  then you should have the newest terminal. Check the update GUI as well
[00:52] <wifioregon> liberty223:  recently I had to do the kernel update with the GUI
[00:53] <wifioregon> liberty223:  also you can use the terminal to find what kernel version you currently have
[00:53] <liberty223> what is the latest kernel?
[00:53] <wifioregon> liberty223:  or you should see it in grub
[00:53] <liberty223> I'm on 3.2
[00:53] <liberty223> I want 3.4+
[00:53] <tyuio> hello ! i need a little help .While installing hotspot shield  vpn on ubuntu 12.04 32 bit .I struck on a line \\\\\\\\\"YourHotSpotShieldUsername" HotSpotShieldServerIP "YourHotSpotShieldUsername"\\\\\\\\\ i don't know how to get this .i visit the hotspot site my eyes don't find any login /sigin option .Please help me .I want to access torrentz
[00:53] <wifioregon> liberty223:  3.2.0-31-generic
[00:53] <wifioregon> liberty223:  is what I have
[00:53] <liberty223> I have 29
[00:53] <wifioregon> liberty223:  And I do the updates. 12.04
[00:54] <hashem> wifioregon, when you use apt-get, that only gets you the newest kernel in the repositories for the release you're on (eg 12.04)
[00:54] <wifioregon> liberty223:  run the GUI update then
[00:54] <wifioregon> hashem:  ooh
[00:54] <WeThePeople> aelmajid, ask your question
[00:54] <wifioregon> hashem:  thanks! Thats why I had to use the GUI update utility, huh?
[00:54] <hashem> no, I'm pretty sur ethe GUI update is the same as apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[00:55] <tking> pls if i install a fresh ubuntu, what is the first or default login desktop called, Gnome shell, unity 2d, gnome classic? or what? i want to go back to how i first installed Ubuntu
[00:55] <hashem> With the ubuntu repositories for a given release, new major versions of software isn't made available, only minor bug fixes. For major updates to software, you have to install it yourself or wait until the newer release (like 12.10)
[00:55] <jrib> hashem: probably need dist-upgrade to upgrade kernel (since dependency of a package changes)
[00:56] <tyuio> WeThePeople: help me
[00:56] <hashem> jrib, ah yes, you may be right
[00:56] <XiaolinDraconis> okay
[00:56] <hashem> tking, it's called "unity"
[00:56] <XiaolinDraconis> starting to get the opinion that ubuntu is horrible
[00:56] <jrib> tking: rename your ~/.dmrc and you'll go back to default
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> wifioregon: resize the ext4 in live cd, you can then install windows to the freed space
[00:56] <jrib> XiaolinDraconis: we're here for support please
[00:56] <bazhang> XiaolinDraconis, actual support question?
[00:57] <wifioregon> ActionParsnip:  but wont the Windows boot manager not show ubuntu?
[00:57] <tking> jrib how do i rename it? i never heard of at
[00:57] <hashem> liberty223, if you want to try out a newer version, one option is to install it manually: http://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/installing-a-kernel-in-ubuntu/ I've never done this though. Perhaps another way would be to get an updated kernel from a newer ubuntu repository. idk how to do that though.
[00:57] <jrib> tking: mv ~/.dmrc ~/.dmrc.old
[00:57] <tyuio> bazhang: help me ! ny exams are coming
[00:58] <jrib> tking: you can read it if you want to see what information it contains
[00:58] <bazhang> tyuio, ask the channel a question
[00:58] <nannes> How to install kernel 3.5stable in precise, from official repos?
[00:58] <jrib> !kernel | nannes
[00:58] <tking> jrib how do i read it it
[00:58] <jrib> tking: cat ~/.dmrc
[00:59] <OerHeks> nannes not available in precise, wait for release  QQ 12.10
[00:59] <tking> jrib no such file or directory
[00:59] <nannes> uff
[00:59] <jrib> tking: if you've already renamed it, then it won't be called ~/.dmrc any more :)
[00:59] <nannes> I'll have to use external repos :/
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> excise: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[01:00] <bkc_> nannes: or use the beta?
[01:00] <nannes>  no no no
[01:00] <nannes> beta no please
[01:00] <nannes> only stables
[01:00] <bkc_> I'm guessing it's out by now... it's mid-september already...
[01:00] <nannes> ok
[01:00] <tking> jrib is this comand mv ~/.dmrc ~/.dmrc.old to move or rename? if it is to move as i know, am i not to delete the .old?
[01:00] <hashem> nannes, you could try installing the .deb file http://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/installing-a-kernel-in-ubuntu/
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> wifioregon: you will need to reinstate the boot loader using the grub again
[01:01] <bazhang> bkc_, it's not. 12.10 means October
[01:01] <bkc_> nannes: 12.10 is due october, so it's only about a month left anyways...
[01:01] <nannes> ok
[01:01] <bkc_> bazhang: ...
[01:01] <nannes> hashem: I know, I just asked here to know by official sources
[01:01] <hashem> tking, you can use 'mv' to rename files
[01:01] <bazhang> bkc_, unreleased is not stable
[01:01] <WeThePeople_> tyuio, this is what i found Hotspot Shield runs on:
[01:01] <WeThePeople_> Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS X (10.5 Leopard), Mac OS X (10.6 Snow Leopard), Mac OS X (10.7 Lion).
[01:02] <excise> ActionParsnip, should I paste in the channel or pm?
[01:02] <jrib> tking: move and rename is the same (think about it)
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> nannes: I suggest you reinstall with Quantal if you want the 3.5 kernel
[01:02] <bkc_> nannes: well... you have 3 choices really... 1) install a new kernel (that might mess everything up completely), 2) upgrade to 12.10 beta and possibly encounter a wild bug or 3) wait until October...
[01:02] <nannes> ok ok got it ;)
[01:03] <nannes> ActionParsnip: Can I ask you a thing?
[01:03] <wifioregon> ActionParsnip:  using grub? Like a subergrub2 disc? or can I do it from an Ubuntu disc live?
[01:03] <bkc_> bazhang: I know it ain't stable...
[01:03] <tyuio> WeThePeople_: it means i have to install hotspot using wine and get username and password for it
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> excise: use http://pastie.org
[01:03] <wifioregon> ActionParsnip:  also do you happen to have a guide?  You think I should back up files before doing this? Its kindof dangerous right?
[01:03] <bkc_> wifioregon: I'd go for whatever disc I have around with grub on it :)
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> wifioregon: you can use the Ubuntu install CD to instate the bootloader
[01:04] <chadams42> memcached issue here, I'm trying to cache images and some return 200 ok, but with no response data?
[01:04] <excise> ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/4717204
[01:04] <WeThePeople> tyuio, it wont work through wine
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> wifioregon: omgubuntu have a page called 'sticking it to grub'   just change 'bind'  to '--bind' in the page
[01:05] <wifioregon> ActionParsnip:  okay thanks
[01:05] <tyuio> WeThePeople:  so, what i do ?
[01:05] <WeThePeople> tyuio, do you have windows lying around some where
[01:05] <tyuio> WeThePeople: no , i'm pure linux user
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> excise: enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin package to get 64bit flash for flash
[01:05] <WeThePeople> tyuio, either dual boot or put windows in a virtual machine aka VirtualBox
[01:05] <hashem> chadams42, isn't there a better channel to ask about memcached?
[01:06] <tyuio> WeThePeople: my parents don't allow me to use windows
[01:06] <WeThePeople> tyuio, ok you want to download torrents?
[01:06] <OerHeks> tyuio for legal torrents like ubuntu you don't need a hotspot-shield.
[01:06] <chadams42> hashem: no one there
[01:06] <WeThePeople> tyuio, lol
[01:06] <tyuio> WeThePeople: ya
[01:06] <aelmajid> sorry WeThePeople i was absent, i want to know how can i install a driver of an adapter wireless in backtrack5
[01:06] <lorddelta> Any clue why my internet drivers (networkmanager,dnsmasq,dhclient) would have gone haywire recently? For whatever reason dnsmasq wasn't being passed my dns server ip, I had to restart it and pass it manually
[01:07] <chadams42> hashem: and I've stopped making progress....
[01:07] <hashem> chadams42, it's not worth it to ask here then, it's just considered off-topic
[01:07] <tyuio> WeThePeople: i want to  download pdf and videos for exams
[01:07] <bazhang> aelmajid, get backtrack support in their channel
[01:07] <hashem> chadams42, try asking on stackoverflow.com
[01:07] <bazhang> !backtrack | aelmajid
[01:07] <chadams42> ah ok thansk
[01:07] <tyuio> WeThePeople: can you suggest me sites to download them free of cost
[01:07] <WeThePeople> tyuio, use a socks5 proxy
[01:07] <excise> ActionParsnip, I'm showing that I have the Canonical Partners repositories enabled
[01:07] <XiaolinDraconis> its nice to see the cursor problem was fixed
[01:07] <tyuio> WeThePeople:  via ssh
[01:08] <WeThePeople> yes
[01:08] <tyuio> that , i can do it
[01:08] <tyuio> WeThePeople:  thanks
[01:08] <WeThePeople> aelmajid, type ' lshw' in terminal and copy paste to paste.ubuntu.com
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> excise: then install the adobe-flashplugin and you will get 64bit flash
[01:09] <XiaolinDraconis> flash applications stutter and skip
[01:09] <WeThePeople> tyuio, np
[01:09] <WeThePeople> tyuio, dont for get to set up your torrent client to :)
[01:10] <WeThePeople> tyuio, Tor might work also
[01:10] <tyuio> WeThePeople: i'm going to network proxy (in built option in ubuntu ) and apply it system wide .Aha
[01:11] <tyuio> WeThePeople:  tor is very slow
[01:11] <WeThePeople> tyuio, good idea
[01:11] <tyuio> WeThePeople:  thanks : )
[01:11] <bkc_> WeThePeople: don't use tor for torrents -.-
[01:12] <WeThePeople> bkc_, me doesnt
[01:12] <excise> ActionParsnip, you're awesome!!  thanks a lot for your time and assistance.
[01:12] <WeThePeople> i dont even use proxy
[01:12] <WeThePeople> lol
[01:13] <blackshirt> why a lot people here gets some trouble with flash
[01:13] <bkc_> flash is problem... end of story
[01:13] <WeThePeople> flash isnt the prob
[01:13] <jrib> heh
[01:14] <bkc_> WeThePeople: no it's not *the* problem... it *is* problem...
[01:14] <blackshirt> what the problem.. ?
[01:14] <Sokel> Flash needs to go away
[01:14] <Sokel> that's the problem
[01:14] <bkc_> indeed
[01:14] <WeThePeople> html5 then??
[01:14] <Sokel> It needs to make way for html 5
[01:14] <bkc_> make way for html5 :rageface: !
[01:14] <Sokel> And HTML5 only
[01:14] <WeThePeople> true
[01:14] <blackshirt> but,flash was very popular format
[01:15] <bkc_> and now le smoke to get my mind of flash -.-
[01:15]  * bkc_ slaps blackshirt for thinking bad thoughts...
[01:15] <lorddelta> Bah. HTML5/Flash. Meh. Tomato Tomahto.
[01:15] <WeThePeople> lol
[01:15] <lorddelta> Pick one and stop bickering. Honestly.
[01:15] <WeThePeople> both
[01:16] <bazhang> lets get back on topic of ubuntu support, please
[01:16] <lorddelta> Indeed.
[01:16] <blackshirt> i think that was bad, but that was a reality
[01:17] <hashem> Does canonical get some money from purchases in the Ubuntu music store? Also, does purchased music have DRM?
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> Chrome + pepper flash works great here. I don't even have adobe flash installed now :)
[01:17] <lorddelta> So... where should I look? Re earlier: Any clue why my internet drivers (networkmanager,dnsmasq,dhclient) would have gone haywire recently? For whatever reason dnsmasq wasn't being passed my dns server ip, I had to restart it and pass it manually
[01:17] <Maksim> Hi all. Hope someone can help. I'm using Ubuntu, latest version, new to it. My new printer Dell V725W works fine wireless in Windows. In Ubuntu, the add printer dialog recognizes it, but it doesn't have my printer model in the list. I went to the Dell website, downloaded the rpm driver for linux, used Alien to convert to deb and install. Using 'dpkg -l | less' I was able to see that it installed 'Dell Network and USB Scan Drivers software.' Ho
[01:17] <Maksim> wever, it didn't magically make this work . I'm not sure what to try next.
[01:17] <WeThePeople> aelmajid, did you type lshw in terminal??
[01:17] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: Oh, neat!
[01:17] <Daekdroom> hashem, yes and no, respectively.
[01:17] <xangua> hashem: the music in the ubuntu music store is drm free
[01:17] <hashem> ah cool! I'll go buy something then :)
[01:18] <andreb> k..finally got the gpart live cd
[01:18] <blackshirt> lorddelta, read README files on dnsmasq release
[01:18] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: does it handle games e.g. Kongregate, Amor Games?
[01:18] <andreb> question: its not enabling me to make the  /dev/sda1 any bigger
[01:18] <andreb> hrm...
[01:18] <andreb> any ideas ?
[01:18] <lorddelta> blackshirt: that simple? I did try looking through its man pages, but ok
[01:18] <Maksim> how likely is it that my question just got drowned out lol
[01:19] <blackshirt> andreb, what you want ?
[01:19] <Sokel> andreb: You cannot make a first partition bigger.
[01:19] <Sokel> andreb: Especially if you have a second
[01:19] <andreb> crapo
[01:19] <andreb> cuz i cloned my dying 250 gb hd toa  750gb drive
[01:19] <Sokel> andreb: It's common sense.
[01:19] <Sokel> fdisk -l /dev/sda paints a better picture. Because everything is in order.
[01:20] <Maksim> guys, know any other channel I can go to to find an answer to my question?
[01:20] <Azjo> hi, im having trouble with cue mounting wav files. does anyone know a good channel to ask about that on freenode? :)
[01:20] <blackshirt> maksim, what is your question guys?
[01:20] <Sokel> Start: 1 End: 20451 for sda1 for example. And then sda2 starts at 20452 and then ends wherever. So you can't.
[01:20] <Maksim> blackshirt, here it was: Hi all. Hope someone can help. I'm using Ubuntu, latest version, new to it. My new printer Dell V725W works fine wireless in Windows. In Ubuntu, the add printer dialog recognizes it, but it doesn't have my printer model in the list. I went to the Dell website, downloaded the rpm driver for linux, used Alien to convert to deb and install. Using 'dpkg -l | less' I was able to see that it installed 'Dell Network and USB S
[01:20] <Maksim> can Drivers software.' However, it didn't magically make this work . I'm not sure what to try next.
[01:21] <andreb> sokel hrm..
[01:21] <Sokel> The problem is you converted an rpm to debian.
[01:21] <andreb> my sd1 is almost full
[01:21] <andreb> :(
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: seems ok yes
[01:21] <Sokel> andreb: There's nothing you can do other than completeing starting from scratch.
[01:21] <Maksim> Sokel: my terminal said I have to do that
[01:21] <bkc_> Azjo: cue mounting wav-files? o.O don't really get what you're trying to do :)
[01:21] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: neat, thnx
[01:22] <lorddelta> Not what I came in here for but :D
[01:22] <Maksim> Sokel: it said something like 'rpm should never be installed directly. you have to use alien for that'. So i googled and it said that on ubuntu you have to either use Alien or install from source
[01:22] <andreb> sokels any suggestions on how i can use the other 400gb of space without having to resinstalling
[01:22] <Chat4175> Hey
[01:22] <hashem> Hm...seems pretty stupid you need Ubuntu One to be installed to subscribe to downloads from the Ubuntu Music Store
[01:22] <blackshirt> maksim, is there deb format driver on dell sites?
[01:22] <Maksim> But ubuntu doesn't know my printer model and it seems that though I installed the driver succesffuly through terminal, it didn't tell ubuntu gui
[01:22] <WeThePeople> hi
[01:22] <Sokel> andreb: Make another partition.
[01:22] <Maksim> blackshirt: no sadly
[01:23] <Chat4175> Hello
[01:23] <Sokel> andreb: Call it a day
[01:23] <Azjo> i believe its a dying feature. in the age of time monkeys audio (.ape) could decompress to wav files. and then the cue files would explain burners etc where each track was. once i could get drag this information out on daemon tools but today its a bitch :/
[01:23] <blackshirt> maksim, what about the source files?
[01:23] <Sokel> Maksim: Um... I found a tar file you can start from
[01:23] <Chat4175> Hey
[01:23] <Maksim> blackshirt: it only has rpm file on the website. I do not know how to install from source.
[01:23] <Sokel> Maksim: NEVER convert rpm to deb or vice versa. Dumbest thing you can do.
[01:23] <Maksim> Sokel: where?
[01:23] <Maksim> http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/DriverFileFormats/Product/dell-v725w-inkjet-printer?DriverId=RKG1W&FileId=2907115239&urlProductCode=False
[01:23] <WeThePeople> maksim, tar are easy :)
[01:23] <Maksim> There is only an RPM
[01:24] <Sokel> http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails?driverId=CW2K9&fileId=2905995159
[01:24] <Sokel> Problem solved.
[01:24] <Sokel> Maksim: You are obviously not looking :)
[01:24] <Sokel> Maksim: I like how I found that at my first search
[01:24] <Nisstyre> Does anyone know if there is a crossfeed plugin for Rhythmbox in the repositories?
[01:24] <Maksim> sokel: sorry but I found this link http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/DriverFileFormats/Product/dell-v725w-inkjet-printer?DriverId=RKG1W&FileId=2907115239&urlProductCode=False how does dell post two different driver pages
[01:24] <ring2> Nisstyre, why do want to feed rhythmbox?
[01:25] <Maksim> sokel: sokel it is my first time using linux ever, cut me a break man! I spent hours trying to do this. Sokel, what do you suggest I do, install the targz and it should work?
[01:25] <Nisstyre> ring2: crossfeed is a type of signal processing that removes the separation inherent in stereo recordings
[01:25] <Nisstyre> ring2: it's for headphone listening
[01:25] <Chat4175> Hey
[01:25] <ring2> Nisstyre, it's called crossfade ;)
[01:25] <Sokel> Maksim: First off, you don't install a tar file.
[01:26] <Nisstyre> ring2: no it isn't
[01:26] <Azjo> ah, EAC worked it out for me. no worries.
[01:26] <Nisstyre> ring2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossfeed
[01:26] <ring2> Nisstyre, alright, never heard of it. sorry
[01:28] <hashem> Maksim, open a terminal. The 'tar' command works with .tar* files. you can type 'man tar' for more information, but for .tar.gz files, the command 'tar -xvzf myfile.tar.gz' should decompress it.
[01:28] <Nisstyre> ring2: I know that there is an ALSA plugin for crossfeed, but I'd rather do it at the application layer
[01:29] <Maksim> hashem: thank you man
[01:29] <Maksim> sokel: thank you as well
[01:29] <Sokel> tar xvf file
[01:29] <XiaolinDraconis> sooo is this pepperflash in the chrome webstore?
[01:29] <bazhang> !ot | XiaolinDraconis
[01:30] <XiaolinDraconis> i am on topic
[01:30] <Sokel> No you're not
[01:30] <XiaolinDraconis> windows runs flash games without problem
[01:30] <Sokel> That was not even an ubuntu question
[01:30] <XiaolinDraconis> ubuntu does not
[01:30] <bazhang> XiaolinDraconis, chrome has NOTHING To do with ubuntu. take it elsewhere
[01:30] <Sokel> XiaolinDraconis: Sounds personal.
[01:31] <hashem> Maksim, then you have to install it, which is a little bit more involved. There should be a README file or INSTALL file inside the decompressed directory which has instructions
[01:31] <Sokel> XiaolinDraconis: Either get it to work on firefox or work on Chrome.
[01:31] <Maksim> Sokel: Hold on a second. The link you gave me is a firmware. I have already installed that one. My problem is that Ubuntu doesn't know about my printer model. I thought installing the driver would help, but it did not
[01:31] <Maksim> hashem: It turns out I already did this one
[01:31] <XiaolinDraconis> ill open firefox but i bet it stutters too
[01:31] <Sokel> Maksim: Ever decide to reboot your computer?
[01:32] <bazhang> Maksim, what does linuxprinting.org database recommend as a driver for that
[01:32] <Sokel> XiaolinDraconis: Stop whining. Sounds to me you either don't have efficient enough ram, or you do not have a sufficient video card.
[01:32] <ring1> Nisstyre, as i read quodlibet is capable of crossfeeding with a plugin. but that doesn't help for rhythmbox
[01:32] <XiaolinDraconis> considering when searching through other peoples problems, the vast amount of flash problems, it doesnt seem to matter what the browser is
[01:32] <XiaolinDraconis> ubutu simply fails to handle flash well
[01:32] <XiaolinDraconis> ubuntu
[01:32] <XiaolinDraconis> efficient?
[01:32] <Sokel> XiaolinDraconis: It's your hardware. Guarantee it.
[01:32] <Sokel> XiaolinDraconis: How about you just install fedora and see if it works for you?
[01:33] <XiaolinDraconis> why does windows 7 run it flawlessly then?
[01:33] <XiaolinDraconis> specs dont change just the OS
[01:33] <Sokel> XiaolinDraconis: I guarantee you do NOT have enough ram to be running unity and flash at the same time, nor video memory. Fix that or search google.
[01:33] <lorddelta> XiaolinDraconis: Probably the graphics drivers then
[01:33] <XiaolinDraconis> indeed
[01:33] <icqusiuario> hola
[01:33] <icqusiuario> ubuntu en español
[01:33] <icqusiuario> hay o no
[01:33] <XiaolinDraconis> thats why i switched to gnome classic
[01:33] <lorddelta> And Sokel's got a point too
[01:33] <Sokel> un poquito
[01:34] <lorddelta> Unity is heavy
[01:34] <bazhang> icqusiuario, #ubuntu-es
[01:34] <hashem> Maksim, is there a similar model-number in that dialog box in ubuntu?
[01:34] <Maksim> bazhang and hashem: no
[01:34] <Maksim> :(
[01:34] <Maksim> it doesn't even have anything that starts with V
[01:34] <Maksim> linuxprinting doesn't have it either
[01:34] <Maksim> i guess cause it's new
[01:34] <FloodBot1> Maksim: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:34] <bazhang> Maksim, take a look at the database
[01:34] <ring1> Nisstyre, if you're interested: https://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/wiki/Crossfeed
[01:34] <bazhang> Maksim, whats the exact name and model
[01:35] <Maksim> bazhang: Dell V725W
[01:35] <Nisstyre> ring1: thanks for the link
[01:36] <ring1> Nisstyre, yw
[01:36] <ferris> i need a point in the right direction to share a folder between local users....
[01:36] <ubuguest> hello. I have installed a window manager and I logged into it and I can't do anything at all. Is there a way to close it and go back to the logon screen?
[01:36] <jrib> ubuguest: what wm?
[01:37] <hashem> Maksim, perhaps ask dell support. They specifically mention supporting ubuntu in this pdf http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CCkQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dell.com%2Fdownloads%2Fglobal%2Fproducts%2Fprint%2FInkjet_Printers_Datasheet_US_V5_LR_Brochure.pdf&ei=HIlSUNb0F4-e8QSj6oGYBw&usg=AFQjCNFI-zJZLmsdNgZwHPs6KazUQJJy3A&sig2=UDjMFYVU8vaicKBXOTn2tw
[01:37] <TJ-> ferris: Add them both to the 'users' group, and give that group ownership and permissions to read/write/execute the shared directory
[01:37] <ubuguest> jrib, dwm
[01:37] <Maksim> hashem: I will do that if you suggest it. You think they will actually respond? :)
[01:37] <joshmc> ubuguest: Try alt + shift + q
[01:37] <ferris> TJ-, thanks.... i will try that
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> ubuguest: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there then run:  killall -u $USER
[01:38] <joshmc> leftalt is the initial modkey for dwm, right?
[01:38] <hashem> Maksim, they'll definitely respond, I would guess they won't be of much help. I might be wrong though
[01:38] <jrib> ubuguest: if you're sure it's some sort of config issue on your part, you can restart X by going to tty (ctrl-alt-f1) and issuing « sudo service lightdm restart ».  ctrl-alt-f7 will get you back to X.  However, you probably just need to figure out how to use dwm (look up its docs)
[01:39] <ubuguest> thanks, guys :)
[01:40] <joshmc> ubuguest: as a dwm user it's great but not easy. I'd say if you are using an apt-managed version ditch it and grab the tarball, as using dwm to the extent you want generally means editing config.h and recompiling.
[01:41] <ubuguest> thanks
[01:41] <joshmc> ubuguest: bu-bu-I wasn't done!
[01:41] <joshmc> oh well
[01:42] <qaz> hi
[01:42] <qaz> I have a problem with cups , if I try to use the dnssd I can't print
[01:43] <qaz> work on with http
[01:43] <qaz> any help?
[01:43] <Sokel> It's a known bug. Look on google.
[01:44] <qaz> tnx Sokel

[01:58] <black_13_> WeThePeople: hey
[01:58] <OerHeks> WeThePeople, preseeding file is an automated installation file
[01:58] <WeThePeople> ahh
[01:58] <coop> Good Evening everyone
[01:58] <OerHeks> or unattended
[02:00] <OerHeks> black_13_, there is a manual for preseeding > https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html but not a tool AFAIK
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> drupin: how much RAM do you have?
[02:01] <drupin> 2.5
[02:01] <drupin> 2.5 GB
[02:01] <drupin> any driver issue
[02:02] <black_13_> OerHeks: if you8 modify the preseed file on the iso will it get picked up during the installed
[02:02] <drupin> also on chrome the flash is not rendering with the default pepper flash version
[02:02] <OerHeks> black_13_, yes, that is what it is used for.
[02:03] <black_13_> OerHeks: it isnt being picked up
[02:03] <ksx4system> how can I set Ubuntu to prefer IPv4 and use IPv6 only to connect with v6-only sites?
[02:03] <black_13_> or does it work in the desktop installe
[02:05] <OerHeks> black_13_, i never used it, all i have is the URL i gave you
[02:05] <weiyang> hi, any document on socat, besides the man page?
[02:06] <KRomeleoN> hi
[02:06] <weiyang> i just feel confused about this tool
[02:06] <KRomeleoN> i am overclocking my cpu but ubuntu doesnt recognize the overclock
[02:06] <KRomeleoN> how can i be sure its working right?
[02:06] <KRomeleoN> ubuntu says 3.4ghz but bios says 4.5
[02:07] <drupin> any luck ActionParsnip ... whats missisng
[02:07] <OerHeks> ksx4system, never heard of using IPv4 + IPv6 adresses together.
[02:08] <KRomeleoN> Intel® Core™ i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz × 4 <--- ubuntu says this in infi
[02:08] <KRomeleoN> buti am oc to 4.5
[02:08] <rinzler> how do I switch from thunar to nautilus?
[02:08] <ksx4system> OerHeks: never heard about how DNS works too, right? ;)
[02:08] <phong_> hi all
[02:08] <WeThePeople> hi
[02:09] <ksx4system> OerHeks, A example.com <IP_ADDRESS> + AAAA example.com (insert ultra long IPv6 address here)
[02:09] <KRomeleoN> isnt the linux mint version of nautlius out?
[02:09] <bazhang> KRomeleoN, ask mintsupport
[02:09] <bazhang> !mintsupport | KRomeleoN
[02:10] <KRomeleoN> im talking about the mint developed fork of the file manager
[02:10] <KRomeleoN> not the mint os
[02:10] <mbutubuntu> hello folks, does Ubuntu use compat wireless for deafult ath9k_htc (kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_htc.ko)? if yes why I'm not able to use AP mode with my WNA1100 even if is reported to work at least since c-w 3.0
[02:10] <bazhang> KRomeleoN, ask them, not here
[02:10] <mbutubuntu> (sorry I'm on 12.04)
[02:10] <KRomeleoN> bazhang, can you help me with my issue?
[02:10] <phong_> is there a way to print pdf to image?
[02:11] <bazhang> KRomeleoN, overclocking? try ##hardware
[02:11] <rinzler> how do I switch from thunar to nautilus as default file manager?
[02:11] <TJ-> ksx4system: edit the preferences blocks in /etc/gai.conf. Look for the line containing "For sites which prefer IPv4 connections" and edit the settings according to the recommendation
[02:12] <ksx4system> TJ=: well, "precedence ::ffff:0:0/96  100" unhashed does the job
[02:12] <ksx4system> TJ-, thanks
[02:12] <TJ-> ksx4system: Glad you got it :)
[02:14] <ksx4system> TJ-: well, I wonder what is wrong with he.net IPv6 tunneling... I've got it working like a charm (this + MikroTik router throwing NATed v4 + public v6 addresses via DHCP) for months
[02:14] <ksx4system> TJ-, but since few weeks it runs utterly slow, just like GPRS connection back in 2005 :(
[02:15] <TJ-> ksx4system: doing unexpected lookups that time out? Have you tcpdump-ed the connection?
[02:16] <Maksim> My Ubuntu Software Center won't launch. It opens and closes immediately..
[02:17] <Maksim> I tried apt-get update and upgrade and reinstall of software-center
[02:18] <mbutubuntu> #ubuntu-devel
[02:18] <TJ-> Maksim: Are you using an encrypted home directory?
[02:18] <Maksim> TJ- I don't know, even what that means :)
[02:18] <warddr> Maksim, have you tried running software-center from a commanline window? Does that produce any error messages?
[02:18] <Maksim> warddr yes it does
[02:18] <Maksim> how can I paste it without getting booted by floodbot
[02:19] <ksx4system> TJ-: nope, out of laziness I just switched to IPv4 and I'll continue using IPv6 only when I really need it
[02:19] <warddr> Maksim, http://pastebin.com/
[02:20] <Maksim> http://pastebin.com/ZcGfNK4M
[02:20] <andreb> gparted rocks
[02:20] <andreb> lol
[02:20] <Maksim> it's weird that it says 'somaks' because my username is maks, not somaks
[02:20] <Maksim> but anyway, that's what it spits out
[02:20] <andreb> was able to actually resize my root partitiion
[02:21] <warddr> Maksim, I'll take a look
[02:21] <Maksim> warddr thank you
[02:21] <andreb> but now my system is SLOW AS FUCK
[02:22] <IdleOne> andreb: i feel for you but please don't swear.
[02:22] <TJ-> Maksim: Try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure software-center --force "
[02:22] <andreb> sorry
[02:23] <andreb> the disk reparitioning worked... the os booted and stuff.. i even increase teh sawp to 10 GB... but the response time of the box has tooken a nose dive
[02:23] <andreb> any suggestion to optimize the amchine ?
[02:23] <Maksim> TJ- I did it but still no go. I will post new log
[02:24] <OerHeks> Maksim, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure software-center --force " should do the trick, see the answer of NikTh >> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2033381.html
[02:24] <Maksim> http://pastebin.com/Tn18uGsk
[02:24] <xangua> 10GB for swap¿ really¿ sounds like you have zillions or ram andreb
[02:24] <andreb> only 4gb
[02:24] <Maksim> Oerheks, thank you but check the last link I just put
[02:24] <andreb> of ram
[02:25] <andreb> so what can i do to optimize the machine or to tell it to check for errors ?
[02:26] <TJ-> Maksim: From what I see, it looks to be related to Ubuntu One' single-sign-on service. Do you have an Ubuntu One account configured ?
[02:26] <Maksim> Nope
[02:26] <Maksim> I can open Ubuntu One though. It shows me this login/sign up screen.
[02:27] <Maksim> I mean an install screen.
[02:27] <TJ-> Maksim: Hmmm... I wonder if that's the issue? I've seen sillier where software assumes it should have an account and fails otherwise. Let me dig a bit.
[02:27] <Maksim> TJ- OK. Thank you for helping
[02:29] <TJ-> Maksim: Just to confirm. You're running software center as a regular user, not trying to start it using sudo/gksudo ?
[02:30] <Maksim> TJ- I simply typed "software-center" in the terminal
[02:30] <TJ-> Maksim: Thanks. Just trying to narrow down the scope
[02:30] <Maksim> I never did anything to override super user settings or whatever
[02:32] <iateadonut> where should i go for repositories to make sure i have all sound drivers and codecs?
[02:32] <iateadonut> will the default ones work?
[02:33] <de> Big problem. Was running commands to install xfce 4.10 and it worked just fine. I was testing out xfce but then decided to run commands to remove it. It was never removed and now when I log into unity i dont get anything except acesss to my terminal which is how I got here
[02:33] <de> what can I do. I just want to redo all that I did lol.
[02:34] <weiyang> etable is needed, means?
[02:34] <de> I also installed gnome shell which caused me to reboot my computer 6 times in two days. So i think i just want regular old unity and ubuntu back
[02:35] <kostkon> de, try: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> de: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop     etc, install another DE
[02:35] <kostkon> de, see if it will install any extra packages
[02:35] <js1234> Hi. I just installed Ubuntu and after updating and restarting, dash home no longer shows any applications
[02:35] <WeThePeople> de, what commands did you use to remove
[02:36] <js1234> like, if I search for "terminal" nothing comes up
[02:36] <kostkon> de, then logout and login again. If the problem persists, in the terminal give:  unity --reset
[02:36] <de> umm something about purge and apt
[02:36] <malkauns> in 12.04 how do i change the color of the top horizontal panel?
[02:36] <TJ-> Maksim: I'm looking at the code in ubuntu-sso-client-gtk - it's Python - and it uses a logger. That infers we should be able to get the process to log what it's up to and maybe give us a clue.
[02:36] <js1234> if I click on the applications icon in dash nothing comes up either
[02:36] <Maksim> TJ- I'm all ears :o
[02:37] <Maksim> TJ- It's way over my head but I'll be able to follow your instructions
[02:37] <WeThePeople> de, thats why, --purge only removes old files of updated packages
[02:37] <nagahastu> anyone can help with a 12.04 video problem.
[02:37] <de> so whats the best thing for me to do right now.?
[02:37] <kostkon> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:37] <TJ-> Maksim: I might not have any yet! The code is worse than spaghetti!
[02:37] <de> I just want unity working
[02:37] <de> forget everythng else lol
[02:37] <CrazyHorse18> hey
[02:37] <Maksim> TJ- Maybe that is the problem haha
[02:37] <CrazyHorse18> how can i find out what process opened a port?
[02:38] <nagahastu> I have nvidia mx440  working on 12.04 and tried to install nvidia-96 drivers but saying i held broken packages and need a file xorg-video-abi-10
[02:38] <WeThePeople> lsof -i

[02:39] <wilee-nilee> de can you get a terminal in the xfce or has it been removed?
[02:39] <CrazyHorse18> WeThePeople thanks :)
[02:39] <WeThePeople> crazyhorse18, wild guess
[02:39] <de> i am in terminal now. under my completely striped unity DE
[02:40] <TJ-> CrazyHorse18: use the -p process option to netstat, and run it using sudo: "sudo netstat -anp"
[02:40] <wilee-nilee> de, have you tries sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:41] <CrazyHorse18> tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:25              <IP_ADDRESS>:*               LISTEN      31132/ruby
[02:41] <wilee-nilee> tried*
[02:41] <de> i just did it

[02:48] <de> how can I remove xfce 4.10
[02:48] <de> ?
[02:48] <wilee-nilee> js1234_, Did you try it with a tty?
[02:49] <js1234_> oh missed the part about terminal
[02:49] <js1234_> now trying in tty
[02:49] <libertytrader2> Ok, so I installed the 3.4 kernel, but now Grub/Grub2 doesn't boot correctly. I just get a purple screen. After I hard reset, I get a grub selection screen where I can choose a kernel. If I select 3.4 there, then it boots fine. Which file should I be editing to change this? OR is there a GUI tool? Thanks
[02:49] <dfcnvt> Question related to grub,  Hi, I'm left with "error: file not found." at the terminal which display, "grub rescue>" .... I've research and found that by typing "ls", I've got this result as in exact order, "(hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) (hd1,msdos1) (fd0)" .... How do I set both prefix & root under these selections?
[02:50] <WeThePeople> de, i think you have to reinstall gnome
[02:50] <TJ-> Maksim: OK, the logs go to "~/.cache/sso/" . To enable DEBUG level for the SSO component it needs "U1_DEBUG=1" in the environment. Simply setting that for software-center doesn't help, so I need to figure out how to set it when SSO is started by the DBus service
[02:50] <wilee-nilee> dfcnvt, what has led you to a grub>
[02:51] <kokuryuu0285> Hey I having a issue with my ubuntu, I keep on getting "server not found" errors while online, and then I'm not able to get online from this pc at all, but my other pc's in the house are still working online, I sure there no firewall on here, also Make sure nothing on my router is blocking, and check cables, I i boot in to window on this pc i have not issue, only when i try to use ubuntu, any ideas
[02:51] <Maksim> TJ- No idea what you just said but I like it so far.....
[02:51] <TJ-> Maksim: :p
[02:51] <barakisbrown> I need some help with a triple boot install of win7/win8/ubuntu
[02:51] <WeThePeople> de, u said unity
[02:52] <barakisbrown> It install fines but when ubuntu loads .. all i am getting a grub4dos
[02:52] <dfcnvt> wilee-nilee: After the new installation of ubuntu. (must have placed a wrong boot in a different drive.)
[02:52] <phyrexianslug> don't think grub will boot win 8 currently.
[02:52] <wilee-nilee> dfcnvt, It would be easiest to just fix this from a live cd/usb
[02:52] <barakisbrown> i have win7 as my main sytem
[02:52] <Presonus_Probs> anyone have any idea about firewire and FFADO?
[02:53] <de> well unity is working but now I just want to get rid of xfce4.10 and gnome-shell
[02:53] <Presonus_Probs> hi roomies :)
[02:53] <de> so that i only have unity
[02:53] <barakisbrown> I have win7(primary)/win8 extra and now I want to add ubuntu
[02:53] <dfcnvt> wilee-nilee: Very well, if that's a solution instead of setting for prefix or root then by the time I get on the LiveCD for chroot. What should I do to fix the grub?
[02:53] <WeThePeople> de, is that suse
[02:53] <de> what do you mean. Im on 12.04
[02:54] <WeThePeople> ahh
[02:54] <wilee-nilee> dfcnvt, Sounds like you know the chroot just put grub in the mbr of that drive with grub-install /dev/sdX    X is that drive.
[02:54] <barakisbrown> Anyway to fix it where I can use win7 boot to boot into linux?
[02:54] <de> i just installed the other DE
[02:54] <wilee-nilee> then run update-grub dfcnvt
[02:54] <WeThePeople> de, fornd this http://complete-concrete-concise.com/ubuntu-2/ubuntu-12-04/ubuntu-12-04-how-to-completely-uninstall-remove-xfce
[02:54] <TJ-> Maksim: Use 2 terminal sessions: In the first run this and leave it running: "U1_DEBUG=True python /usr/lib/ubuntu-sso-client/ubuntu-sso-login". In the other terminal, run software-center. After it crashes, check the end of ~/.cache/sso/sso-client.log for entries that include "DEBUG" rather than just "INFO"

[02:56] <Maksim> 12.04 LTS I think
[02:56] <TJ-> Maksim: check with "lsb_release -a"
[02:57] <phyrexianslug> @barakisbrown: you want to fix the win7 / ubuntu bootloader?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[02:57] <Maksim> Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
[02:57] <Maksim> precise
[02:57] <postmodern> silly question, scp'ing files to a ubuntu 12 server, but they are u=rw and not readable by other users. how do i work around this?
[02:57] <barakisbrown> thanks i will try that since I do have a live usb
[02:57] <TJ-> Maksim: That suggests you've have incomplete packages
[02:58] <Maksim> :O
[02:58] <Maksim> how do we remedy this
[02:58] <jochl> postmodern: you want them to be readable by all?
[02:58] <TJ-> Maksim: This mat fix it: "sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-sso-client"
[02:58] <phyrexianslug> @postmodern: chown the files after transfer?
[02:58] <postmodern> jochl, specifically u=rw,g=rw,o=r
[02:59] <Maksim> TJ- done, now what
[02:59] <Maksim> redo what you last said about the 2 terminals?
[02:59] <postmodern> jochl, the upload directory is already u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx
[02:59] <TJ-> Maksim: Yes... I suspect though, you'll need to also do "sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-sso-client-gtk"
[03:00] <jochl> postmodern: man scp mentions -p option to preserve mode
[03:00] <sh4rm4> is there a way to get debug symbols for a package ?
[03:00] <TJ-> Maksim: That package is a 'recommends' of ubuntu-sso-client, and it actually contains the code that is missing.
[03:00] <Maksim> OK it's doing the gtk one
[03:00] <Maksim> it finished it
[03:00] <jochl> so you could chown, scp, then re-chown (if desired/necessary)
[03:00] <TJ-> Maksim: Have you alternated any settings within 'apt' to stop it installing recommended packages?
[03:00] <WeThePeople> de, http://complete-concrete-concise.com/category/ubuntu-2
[03:00] <TJ-> Maksim: OK, give it a go with software-center now
[03:00] <sh4rm4> is there a way to get debug symbols for a package ?
[03:00] <postmodern> jochl, is there a way to override the permissions?
[03:01] <Maksim> alternated settings? no :O not that i know
[03:01] <postmodern> jochl, this is for an upload script, where another user in the same group consumes the uploaded files
[03:01] <trism> sh4rm4: some source packages have a -dbg binary package (libc6-dbg, libgtk-3-0-dbg), others may be available on ddebs.ubuntu.com
[03:01] <Maksim> http://pastebin.com/hRQSgaaL
[03:02] <TJ-> sh4rm4: Yes. Ubuntu has archives for them. Called the ddeb (debug debian) packages.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash#Debug_Symbol_Packages
[03:02] <trism> sh4rm4: if neither are available you can usually rebuild the package with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip noopt" as described here: http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace
[03:03] <jochl> postmodern: if it's in an upload script, you could chown the files before uploading, or copy, chown, and upload if you don't want to tamper with the original permissions
[03:03] <Maksim> TJ- http://pastebin.com/d3nvqnWs and http://pastebin.com/hRQSgaaL
[03:03] <TJ-> Maksim: That didn't appear to help did it!?
[03:03] <sh4rm4> thanks
[03:03] <Maksim> TJ- no :o
[03:04] <Maksim> but my brain makes me feel like we made progress
[03:04] <Maksim> cause I typed stuff into a terminal.
[03:04] <TJ-> Maksim: Well, you have the files, but for some reason Python isn't finding the ubuntu_sso
[03:05] <Maksim> maybe i have bad python files installed
[03:05] <Maksim> i did try to install python stuff yesterday
[03:06] <TJ-> Maksim: aha!
[03:06] <andreb> hi
[03:06] <andreb> anyone here uses zimbra ?
[03:06] <TJ-> Maksim: What did you try to do? install a different python version?
[03:07] <Maksim> TJ- I don't remember what I was trying to install, but it required some python stuff, and I dont remember where google took me, or to what commands. I installed python. That is all I remember. :(
[03:07] <sh4rm4> damn, what is wrong here ? i have to push the mouse button down for 2 seconds to get it recognized as a click by ubuntu
[03:07] <Maksim> I am able to type "python" and then do 12+4
[03:07] <Maksim> and it spits out 16
[03:08] <TJ-> Maksim: what does "python --version" report?
[03:08] <Maksim> Python 2.7.3
[03:08] <Maksim> That's right, I had the option to choose Python 2 or 3 and I chose 2
[03:08] <TJ-> Maksim: OK, that's good. and bad... because it ought to be finding the SSO python package!
[03:09] <TJ-> Maksim: This *feels* like the wrong python interpreter version is being used by default and that version doesn't have the SSO files in its dist-packages/ directory
[03:09] <Maksim> TJ- hm, so maybe I should somehow uninstall all pythons?
[03:10] <TJ-> Maksim: What does this tell you? " dpkg-query -l python{2,3}* | grep '^ii'  "
[03:10] <TJ-> Maksim: No, you shouldn't! Ubuntu relies on Python these days for core services
[03:10] <Maksim> it just puts a > character on the next line
[03:11] <Maksim> oh, ytyped it wrong
[03:11] <TJ-> Maksim: You missed out a single-quote, or included the double-quotes which I provide just to separate the commands from my commentary. Press Ctrl+C to break out and try again
[03:11] <Maksim> http://pastebin.com/jKTfKyRS
[03:12] <TJ-> Maksim: That looks correct too
[03:12] <sh4rm4> TJ-, trism : the debug sym install worked according to the wiki, how to get the sources ?
[03:13] <Maksim> Why does my life have to be so difficult
[03:13] <TJ-> sh4rm4: "apt-get source <package>"
[03:14] <sh4rm4> dpkg-source: not found.
[03:14] <TJ-> sh4rm4: If you've going to use 'gdb' with the sources, you'll need to either start gdb in the source directory containing the source files, or use its "directory" command to add the directory paths of the source
[03:14] <trism> sh4rm4: install dpkg-dev
[03:14] <sh4rm4> TJ: ok thanks, but how can i get the dpkg-source command ?
[03:15] <sh4rm4> thanks
[03:15] <Maksim> TJ- outta ideas?
[03:16] <TJ-> Maksim: I'm trying to figure out what you managed to do to python. Maybe we can avoid needing to know by doing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure python2.7"
[03:16] <Maksim> done.
[03:17] <Maksim> it did something for 3 seconds and I think it finished
[03:17] <TJ-> Maksim: You may also need to do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure python2.7-minimal"
[03:17] <Maksim> didn't output anything
[03:17] <TJ-> Maksim: not outputting something is a sign of success for most *nix command line tools
[03:17] <Maksim> http://pastebin.com/7tmVYYLJ
[03:18] <TJ-> Maksim: py "thong" ?!?! :D
[03:18] <Maksim> I have no minimal :O!
[03:18] <TJ-> You don't have a thong either!
[03:18] <Maksim> loool
[03:19] <Maksim> ok it done, no output
[03:19] <TJ-> Maksim: OK, try the "U1_DEBUG=True python /usr/lib/ubuntu-sso-client/ubuntu-sso-login" again
[03:19] <TJ-> Maksim: same error?
[03:19] <Maksim> no module named ubuntu_sso.main
[03:20] <Maksim> yeah same thing
[03:20] <TJ-> Maksim: grrrr! We need a Python packaging expert
[03:20] <bluemeda> hello all
[03:20] <bluemeda> :D
[03:20] <TJ-> Maksim: I know what it's not doing but not how to correct it
[03:20] <Maksim> TJ- yea
[03:20] <Maksim> TJ- should we pick this up another time
[03:20] <TJ-> Maksim: If you knew what you did to it with Python yesterday...
[03:21] <Maksim> TJ- let me look
[03:21] <Maksim> my downloads folder has a Python-2.7.3.tgz ... I installed that
[03:21] <Maksim> that is all I did
[03:22] <TJ-> Maksim: Arghhh!!!!!!!!!
[03:22] <Maksim> is that bad
[03:22] <TJ-> Maksim: So you installed the upstream package! I bet it's in /usr/local/bin/ and is being picked up instead of the Ubuntu installation!!!
[03:22] <Maksim> :O!!!
[03:22] <Maksim> what is upstream
[03:23] <TJ-> Maksim: You deserve to wear that thong!! LOL ... OK ... check if I'm correct: "ls -l /usr/local/bin/python*"
[03:23] <Maksim> haha
[03:23] <TJ-> Maksim: You installed Python from a source package provided by the Python project, rather than letting the already-installed Ubuntu package do its thing
[03:23] <Maksim> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Sep 11 20:51 /usr/local/bin/python -> python2
[03:24] <TJ-> Maksim: Anything that is installed that isn't part of the distro usually will install to /usr/local/*
[03:24] <Maksim> :o
[03:24] <hillshum> python *should* have been installed by default...
[03:24] <Maksim> I guess it was.. I wanted to learn python.. lol
[03:24] <TJ-> Maksim: So, we found your problem. Now you need to uninstall that. I'm guessing you extracted that python tar.gz file to directory, is that correct?
[03:24] <Maksim> I didn't know
[03:25] <Maksim> umm. I downloaded it to Downloads folder and then I installed it somehow in the terminal
[03:25] <TJ-> Maksim: If so, change to the directory where you extracted the file (or else re-extract the file now) ... and then in it's directory try "sudo make uninstall"
[03:25] <Maksim> lol sorry..
[03:25] <Maksim> there is a aPython-2.7.3 folder in Downloads
[03:26] <pyg_> how are the nvidia drivers for the latest ubuntu?
[03:26] <Maksim> so I should change directory to Downloads, and type that in the terminal?
[03:26] <TJ-> Maksim: change into that Python-2.7.3/ directory first
[03:26] <Maksim> I should do cd Desktop and then sudo make unisntall ?
[03:26] <Maksim> oh
[03:26] <Maksim> cd Desktop/Python-2.7.3/
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> pyg_: works fine here
[03:26] <WeThePeople> is maya commands same as lucid
[03:26] <Maksim> I mean downloads
[03:26] <TJ-> Maksim: the one in Downloads/ yes
[03:26] <pyg_> i'm running debian testing and can't hibernate repeatedly
[03:27] <TJ-> Maksim: then try doing "sudo make uninstall" ... that ought to remove all the files it installed into your system in /usr/local/*
[03:27] <pyg_> ActionParsnip: thanks, 12.04?
[03:27] <Maksim> TJ- it says maks@ubuntu:~/Downloads/Python-2.7.3$ sudo make uninstall
[03:27] <Maksim> make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> pyg_: yes, I use the edgers ppa (the one that's less fresh, more stable)
[03:27] <jmstick1> how can i enable a wireless usb from shell i know the easy way is to install gui but the usb jump drive is only 8gbs
[03:28] <TJ-> Maksim: Try this: " ./configure && su -c 'make uninstall'  "
[03:28] <pyg_> ActionParsnip: what kernel version?
[03:28] <jeremyst> hi guys
[03:28] <Maksim> maks@ubuntu:~/Downloads/Python-2.7.3$ ./configure && su -c 'make uninstall'
[03:28] <Maksim> ./configure: line 2340: config.log: Permission denied
[03:28] <Maksim> ./configure: line 2350: config.log: Permission denied
[03:28] <jeremyst> im having problem login in to unity, im using unity 2d now.
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> jmstick1: my ubuntu install is4.5Gb, you have enough space. If you install wicd you can use an ncurses interface to confuigure wireless easily
[03:28] <jmstick1> using ubuntu 8.0.4
[03:28] <Maksim> I need sudo?
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image-generic | pyg_
[03:29] <TJ-> Maksim: OK ... you must have done it as root so do this  "sudo ./configure && sudo -make uninstall  "
[03:29] <andreb> hi all
[03:29] <andreb> whats the average upgrade time from 10.04lts to 12.04 lts ?
[03:29] <Maksim> its doing stuff
[03:29] <h22turbo> os[Linux 3.2.0-30-generic-pae i686] distro[Ubuntu "precise" 12.04] cpu[2 x AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ (AuthenticAMD) @ 1000MHz] mem[Physical: 873.7MB, 74.9% free] disk[Total: 35.8GB, 78.9% free] video[NVIDIA Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE]] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia]
[03:29] <Maksim> says checking for ... and a bunch of files
[03:30] <Maksim> do you want me to post this long thing it spit out
[03:30] <jmstick1> ActionParsnip whats the smallest gui that i can install wicd xubuntu-desktop ?
[03:30] <pyg_> ActionParsnip, ubottu, 3.2 thanks, currently with debian I don't get cpufreqd support, but oh well, onward and upward
[03:30] <h22turbo> Maksim: use pastebin
[03:30] <jmstick1> thanks btw
[03:30] <jeremyst> im having problem login in to unity, im using unity 2d now.
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> jmstick1: wicd has an ncurses UI so will be very small
[03:30] <WeThePeople> actionparsnip, do you know if Maya commands are the same as Lucid.. ie sudo apt-get install
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> pyg_: debian is supported in #debian
[03:30] <Maksim> http://pastebin.com/SDpyMH9F
[03:31] <jmstick1> kewl thx man
[03:31] <pyg_> ActionParsnip: kind of...
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: What is maya?
[03:31] <h22turbo> WeThePeople: try sudo apt-cache search Maya
[03:31] <Maksim> at the end it says invalid option --'m'
[03:32] <jeremyst> im having problem login in to unity, im using unity 2d now.
[03:32] <h22turbo> jeremydei: we hear u dude... try installing the correct video card drivers
[03:33] <Sokel> jeremyst: Here's the problem... you and hundreds of others say the same things you do. 'Hey, it's not working.' and nothing else. How about some details?
[03:33] <h22turbo> jeremyst: we hear u dude... try installing the correct video card drivers
[03:34] <Maksim> TJ- you get my link ?
[03:34] <jeremyst> ok. i just installed the drivers for nvidia, but in system settings> details, the graphics is unknown. i cant boot to unity so im using unity2d.
[03:34] <Sokel> jeremyst: You do realize you have to restart after an install, right
[03:35] <jeremyst> i also remove the fglrx for ati because its what im using awhile but remove it because its overheating.
[03:35] <jeremyst> restarted it many times.
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> jeremyst: which nvidia gpu are you using?
[03:35] <h22turbo> jeremyst: yes, it will say unknown if u used nvidia's drivers....
[03:35] <jeremyst> wait, let me see.
[03:36] <jeremyst> nvdia 7025
[03:37] <rikkun89> Good motning everryone
[03:37] <Maksim> it's 11:40pm here.
[03:37] <jeremyst> @h22turbo its nvidia 7025
[03:37] <rikkun89> Oh
[03:37] <jeremyst> onboard gpu.
[03:38] <Sokel> There's the first issue.
[03:38] <Sokel> On board.
[03:38] <jeremyst> yes
[03:39] <jeremyst> what could be the problem with the onboard?
[03:39] <Maksim> TJ- You there?
[03:39] <Sokel> It's too old.
[03:39] <jeremyst> ?? i just bought it last year.
[03:39] <Sokel> Too old.
[03:39] <jeremyst> ok
[03:39] <Sokel> 7025 is WAY too old.
[03:39] <jeremyst> is there a fix for it?
[03:40] <Sokel> Yeah, get an actual video card.
[03:40] <Sokel> Or use XFCE.
[03:40] <jeremyst> whoah
[03:40] <Sokel> Take your pic
[03:40] <Sokel> k
[03:40] <jeremyst> i have ati but i have to put a customize fan in it so it wont get too much heat
[03:41] <Sokel> I would deal with the heat. Unless your case didn't bother having a cooling design to it.
[03:41] <jeremyst> ok.
[03:42] <andreb> sokel i was able to change teh partition size :)
[03:52] <andreb> guys is there a gui for stoping and starting services ?
[03:53] <Sokel> andreb: hahaha... wow
[03:53] <Sokel> andreb: This isn't windows
[03:53] <andreb> i know it isnt windows
[03:53] <andreb> i think i stated my question wronhg
[03:54] <cfhowlett> andreb: not that I know of.  Most of us just use the terminal
[03:54] <andreb> is there a gui that shows you what services start on boot
[03:54] <andreb> for teh different run levels
[03:55] <andreb> at present i am reading up on BUM that seems to do that.. does anyone else know of any other programs ?
[03:55] <Sokel> andreb: Just use chkconfig --list and call it a day.
[03:58] <WeThePeople> s there a Linux mint 13 ie Maya irc channel
[03:58] <cfhowlett> !mint|WeThePeople:
[03:59] <WeThePeople> thx
[03:59] <phyrexianslug> Love it when people thank the bots.
[04:00] <WeThePeople> cfhowlett, lol, only like 4 peeps in that channel
[04:01] <WeThePeople> phyrexianslug, nope cfhowlett
[04:01] <cfhowlett> WeThePeople: tis what it is...
[04:05] <zykotick9> AndrewX192: chkconfig is deprecated for sure on ubuntu.  ubuntu users aren't suppose to use services, so there is no gui (there used to be ;)
[04:05] <zykotick9> andreb left...
[04:06] <devslash> I'm using ubuntu server. how can i make my usb drive mount automatically at boot up
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> devslash: add it in /etc/fstab
[04:08] <Froward> all my settings are backed up in my HOME, right?
[04:08] <devslash> do i have to use the UUID in stab ?
[04:08] <devslash> fstab
[04:08] <Froward> so if I flash my system from 32bit to 64bit I can just move over my HOME and reinstlal apps and stuff should work?
[04:09] <bustacap> What program do I use to read a .xml without it looking like "\00\00\E8\FF\FF\00" etc lol
[04:09] <zykotick9> Froward: in terminal "ls -d ~/.*" will list all the hidden settings directories/files in you home dir.  check to see what is there.
[04:10] <kassius> how can I build irssi with all libraries linked within it?
[04:10] <Froward> zykotick9: tanks
[04:10] <Froward> *thanks
[04:14] <kassius> how can I build irssi with all libraries linked within it?
[04:15] <zykotick9> Froward: but to answer your question.  yes - backing up your home dir and moving from 32 to 64bit should work real well (if it's the same version of ubuntu, else, perhaps not quite as well...)
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> devslash: it helps if you use the UUID
[04:15] <devslash> yea i did thanks i got it figured out
[04:15]  * zykotick9 thinks labels are a lot easier then UUIDs
[04:16] <devslash> hmm
[04:16] <devslash> i can ssh into my server within my lan but i can't ping it. i have shore wall install
[04:16] <devslash> installed
[04:17] <kassius> how can I build irssi with all libraries linked within it?
[04:17] <devslash> I'm not sure what to do
[04:18] <zykotick9> kassius: if you aren't using the ubuntu packaged version, it's not really supported here.  why aren't you just using "sudo apt-get install irssi" so simple... good luck with whatever you're doing.
[04:19] <Sokel> Honestly
[04:19] <Sokel> why install something from source
[04:19] <Sokel> when it's obviously packaged
[04:19] <Sokel> That's stupid.
[04:20] <kassius> I have a shell but its libraries are quite old then im trying to embed the libraries in my irssi because of this
[04:20] <Sokel> kassius: Problem number 1, you built from source. apt-get install irssi.
[04:20] <Sokel> kassius: Whatever you're doing is NOT supported.
[04:20] <riex> Hello, can somebody tell me a fix, for this error i am getting when i am trying to install pear DB. Check: http://pastebin.com/abfN4e01 :-)
[04:20] <kassius> ok
[04:21] <Sokel> riex: Server side error.
[04:22] <riex> :-[
[04:22] <riex> do you know a another way to install it?
[04:23] <devslash> hey guys i need help. i use shorewall firewall and its blocking ping requests in my lan. how can i unblock it ?
[04:23] <Sokel> riex: Nope. Doesn't look ubuntu related.
[04:23] <phyrexianslug> @devslash:  try a networking channel?
[04:23] <Sokel> devslash: Ew, shorewall?
[04:24] <phyrexianslug> http://wiki.shorewall.net/wiki/IRC
[04:24] <phyrexianslug> #iptables for life!
[04:25] <Sokel> ACCEPT net fw icmp 8

[04:27] <Sokel> Because ufw is disgusting
[04:27] <atech> hi i could not able hear any sound in my  in my laptop i need help
[04:27] <sh4rm4> TJ-, trism: is there a way to add custom cflags when rebuilding a source package with apt-get -b source ?
[04:27] <atech> hello any one help me
[04:27] <cfhowlett> atech: check to make sure you didn't mute the speaker
[04:28] <atech> no it is not muted
[04:28] <atech> i just freshly install ubuntu
[04:28] <cfhowlett> atech: installed as wubi or what?
[04:29] <atech> wubi means
[04:29] <Sokel> http://askubuntu.com/questions/132577/no-sound-in-ubuntu-12-04
[04:29] <cfhowlett> atech: windows installer method
[04:29] <Sokel> Problem solved atech
[04:29] <atech> only ubuntu totaly formating system
[04:29] <TJ-> sh4rm4: I'm not sure; I never use it to build.
[04:29] <atech> no my dear sokel
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> Sokel: the echo command will fail and the command will also not be ran in /etc/rc.local as it is below the exit 0 line
[04:30] <TJ-> sh4rm4: I'd doubt it unless it provides a way to pass environment variables to make
[04:30] <Sokel> ActionParsnip: Of course, because ubuntu is shady like that :) I remove exit 0.
[04:30] <sh4rm4> TJ-, when trying to build it manually the build errs, unlike with apt-get
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> Sokel: to use echo to root owned files you need to pipe to: sudo tee -a
[04:31] <Sokel> ActionParsnip: I refuse to use sudo. su - via pam.d and wheel group
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> Sokel: it's not ubuntu specific, all distros use the exit 0 line.....
[04:31] <Sokel> ActionParsnip: Wrong.
[04:31] <TJ-> sh4rm4: How do you build it manually? "debian/rules build" followed by "fakeroot debian/rules binary"  ?
[04:31] <Sokel> ActionParsnip: RHEL and Fedora don't. So, you're wrong.
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> Sokel: echo "test to add" | sudo tee -a /path/to/fil
[04:31] <bustacap> What is a program to view .xml files?
[04:31] <sh4rm4> TJ-, no, ./configure ; make
[04:32] <atech> hello any one help me
[04:32] <atech> i not able to hear any sound
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> bustacap: gedit
[04:32] <TJ-> sh4rm4: that'd be why.
[04:32] <Sokel> atech: How about you use google? It's a normal problem. google: ubuntu 12.04 laptop no sound. You get PLENTY of results.
[04:32] <aeon-ltd> atech: does your source work for sure?
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> atech: if you run:  alsamixer    are all levels cranked and unmuted
[04:33] <Sokel> And I gave you one.
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> !google | Sokel
[04:33] <bustacap> ActionParsnip, shows as all funny characters like "\00\00\00\00\00\" anything else specifically for xml?
[04:33] <sh4rm4> TJ-, "debian/rules build" followed by "fakeroot debian/rules binary" refers to what ?
[04:33] <atech> i have searched
[04:33] <Sokel> bustacap: vim
[04:34] <TJ-> sh4rm4: Those are the commands for building debian/ubuntu packages. In every package is a debian/rules Makefile
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> bustacap: could try bluefish etc, you may be able to change the encoding set of the file and see normal characters...
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> atech: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[04:35] <devslash> devslash: apache was configured and working fine. i rebooted my server and now apache won't start. its giving me an error could not open error log file /etc/apache2/logs/error_log.
[04:38] <schoppenhauer> hello. i want to temporarily (programatically) forbid terminal switching (ctrl-alt-fn and stuff), but except for hacks like changing the terminal keymap, I cannot find any solution for that. But as Xorg does this, it should be possible to do from another program, too.
[04:38] <devslash> any help ?
[04:38] <Sokel> schoppenhauer: Why does it matter?
[04:38] <bustacap> ActionParsnip, how do I change the encoding :/
[04:38] <schoppenhauer> Sokel: ?
[04:38] <TJ-> devslash: That's probably because you've set the path to the log-file incorrectly. It should be "/var/log/apache2/error_log"
[04:39] <schoppenhauer> Sokel: what kind of question is this?
[04:39] <devslash> i didn't set it to that folder
[04:39] <TJ-> devslash: something did then.
[04:39] <devslash> http://pastebin.com/ntkegEJh
[04:40] <schoppenhauer> ok, as this is not ubuntu-specific, I maybe better ask in #linux, sry.

[04:41] <TJ-> devslash: what user is the apache2 process starting as? does it have privileges to that directory/file?
[04:41] <schoppenhauer> Sokel: you could at least have read the question before criticizing it.

[04:46] <Cristiano_Said> Sokel: I'm having trouble redirect packets from squid to apache2
[04:46] <atech> sokel: plz help me
[04:46] <Cristiano_Said> I'm managing to generate logs of squid, but your site that is external, need to run a script on my server here
[04:47] <Sokel> atech: Already gave you help. And you ddin't take it. Like a boss.
[04:47] <Cristiano_Said> I've tried to help in the ubuntu channel, but had no success
[04:48] <rahduke> hey can someone help me figure out how to mount my smb share that is connected to my router for NAS, when I smbtree I see the folder, but all attempts at mounting it are totally failing. I'm getting a  "Connection to netdrive failed (Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL)" error.
[04:48] <rahduke> I can't browse the folder thru nautilus, it never reads my SMB shares
[04:49] <TJ-> Cristiano_Said: "sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING ! -d <IP_ADDRESS>/8 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128" - change "<IP_ADDRESS>/8" to the net-address of your LAN

[04:50] <TJ-> Cristiano_Said: or do you want to have squid3 as a reverse proxy/cache in front of an apache server?

[04:51] <locodir-user> hi, i have a cuestion, im trying to connect my microphone and make it work as a karaoke mic, but i dont know how to set up the mic to work with out a karaoke program o media player
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> atech: still waiting for the URL the comamnd I gave makes.
[04:52] <Skapare> anyone know why ia32-libs-multiarch depends on bluez-alsa (in 12.04) ?
[04:52] <cfhowlett> locodir-user: http://www.howtogeek.com/53215/transform-your-ubuntu-box-into-a-karaoke-machine/
[04:52] <Skapare> that dependency is the crux of some dependency hell
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> Skapare: i suggest you report a bug
[04:52] <Cristiano_Said> I want to have apache and squid work well.
[04:53] <Skapare> ActionParsnip: I don't know that it's a bug ... I'm just wanting to know why right now
[04:53] <Cristiano_Said> the problem that when my site tries to run this script on my server here
[04:53] <TJ-> Skapare: Because that package provides "libasound_module_{ctl,pcm}_bluetooth.so"
[04:54] <Skapare> TJ-: why does a server need sound I wonder
[04:54] <Sokel> atech, honestly, make a file called 50-sound.conf in /etc/modprobe.d. http://pastebin.com/8Ys9DwKt
[04:54] <TJ-> Skapare: "This package depends on i386 versions of packages that were removed from ia32-libs and transitioned to multi-arch.  This allows applications using ia32-libs in previous Ubuntu releases to continue functioning without missing libraries."
[04:55] <locodir-user> cfhowlett, i only need to monitor my mic
[04:55] <Cristiano_Said> TJ?
[04:55] <locodir-user> tijuana???
[04:55] <Cristiano_Said> TJ: Can you help me?
[04:55] <drupin> how i search a repo in apt-get
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> Skapare: could be hooked in to speakers using VLC via web ui to pump out music via web ui]
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> drupin: use:  apt-cache search string
[04:56] <TJ-> Cristiano_Said: I'm not sure what you're trying to do with Squid. Do you want it to cache HTTP locally for local clients to save on Internet bandwidth, or do you want it acting as a reverse-proxy front-end for a web-server
[04:56] <drupin> string is the repo
[04:57] <Skapare> ActionParsnip: I suppose ... but this is getting really worse ... more and more programs depended on by libs ... shouldn't be that way ... my server instances are getting larger and larger
[04:57] <Cristiano_Said> Sokel?
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> drupin: no, string is the thing you are searching for, or part of it
[04:57] <drupin> ok
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> drupin: eg:  apt-cache search fire
[04:57] <TJ-> Skapare: If you don't need the 32-bit compatibility libs you can remove it
[04:57] <drupin> ok
[04:57] <Skapare> TJ: I need them because of Java (to run a Java app)
[04:58] <Cristiano_Said> ok I'll try to explain
[04:58] <TJ-> Skapare: Well you could remove individual libraries if they aren't needed.
[04:59] <Skapare> TJ: is ia32 a meta package?
[05:00] <cgs_bob_> hello all.  I just updated ubuntu 12.04 and got an error while installing blcr-dkms 0.8.2-15ubuntu2.1:  make KERNELRELEASE=3.2.0-29-generic -C /lib/modules/3.2.0-29-generic/build M=/var/lib/dkms/blcr/0.8.2/build.....(bad exit status: 2)
[05:00] <cgs_bob_> Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.2.0-29-generic (x86_64)
[05:00] <Cristiano_Said> tenho um servidor que e um hotspot, eth0=wan eth1=lan, na eth1 sao ligados os roteadores sem fio. Se voce tentar acessar minha rede sem fio, meu firewall te redireciona para esse site aqui; login1.altecnologic.com.br. Nesse site voce coloca seus dados. depois clica em conectar. esse botao conectar executa um script aqui no meu servidor que libera voce para acessar a
[05:00] <Cristiano_Said>  internet
[05:00] <cgs_bob_> is this a serious problem?
[05:00] <Cristiano_Said> sorry
[05:00] <Cristiano_Said> I have a server and a hotspot, eth0 = wan eth1 = lan, eth1 are connected in wireless routers. If you try to access my wireless network, my firewall redirects you to that site here; login1.altecnologic.com.br. In this site you put your data. then click connect. connect this button executes a script on my server here that frees you to access the internet
[05:02] <Cristiano_Said> after released their access. and open another site that you can disconnect. you click a button and disconnects, this button executes another script in my server.
[05:03] <Cristiano_Said> that way everything is working, the problem I want to put the squid to work, but I have to perform the redirect port 80 to port 3128.
[05:03] <Cristiano_Said> and thus redirect the website that has the button descnectar not run the script on my server here
[05:04] <Cristiano_Said> gave to understand
[05:05] <Cristiano_Said> button disconect

[05:07] <ActionParsnip> Cristiano_Said: petrakis/wdt-main only supports up to maverick
[05:07] <Cristiano_Said> looking at my script that my site has to perform here on my server.http://pastebin.com/k1D1BThq
[05:07] <dazuko> hello all, i want to ask about upgrading my old ubuntu into the newest one.
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> Cristiano_Said: those PPAs are no good to you as you are using Precise, hence the errors
[05:08] <Cristiano_Said> PPAs?
[05:08] <TJ-> ActionParsnip: I think you intended those for locodir-user  ?
[05:09] <locodir-user> any one know how to install OSD?
[05:09] <locodir-user> i need to install  a karaoke progam
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> locodir-user: see above ^
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> TJ-: thanks, it's been a long noght
[05:09] <TJ-> ActionParsnip: I know the feeling :p
[05:09] <Cristiano_Said> was not only a problem of redirection?
[05:09] <Cristiano_Said> TJ?
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> Cristiano_Said: crossed wires, sorry
[05:10] <Cristiano_Said> ok no problem
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> locodir-user: you should remove those PPAs, they don't support Precise
[05:11] <locodir-user> how can i remove that?
[05:11] <cc11rocks> I think I locked myself out of my two primary accounts. I was running sudo Xorg -- :1 and stuff to try to get multiple screens in different TTY's
[05:11] <locodir-user> im new in ubuntu
[05:11] <cc11rocks> I didn't get it working, but now it just goes into an infinate loop when I try to login. Ex: if I type in password, black for a second, then back to login screen
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> locodir-user: you can use software centre, or delete the relevant .list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[05:12] <cc11rocks> I reinstalled unity, metacity, ubuntu-desktop in a TTY terminal. I think I need to reset the def. Ubuntu login script for the accounts. How do I do this?
[05:13] <TJ-> Cristiano_Said: I'm having problems understanding precisely due to language, but I think what you're wanting to do is write an exception so that the site containing the "disconnect" button isn't redirected to squid?
[05:15] <Cristiano_Said> yes
[05:15] <Cristiano_Said> I saw your suggestion up there, I'll test
[05:16] <Cristiano_Said> TJ-I saw your suggestion up there, I'll test
[05:16] <TJ-> Cristiano_Said: That was the default redirect rule we use for squid, which you already have (except yours only redirects one host whereas my example redirects a sub-net)
[05:17] <robertzaccour> hey yall
[05:18] <TJ-> Cristiano_Said: I think what you need is something like this, inserted in the chain *before* the squid rule so the squid rule doesn't process packets going to the 'disconnect' button server. "iptables -t nat -I ALTECNETCARD -d <IP_ADDRESS> -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT" - that may be wrong, but I hope it gives you the idea
[05:18] <Skapare> TJ: turns out the package I needed ia32 for is missing ... not sure what to do now
[05:18] <TJ-> Skapare: Scream? :D
[05:18] <Skapare> if that would work :-\
[05:19] <Cristiano_Said> I'll test
[05:19] <TJ-> Cristiano_Said: good luck , hope you get it sorted
[05:19] <Skapare> it's sun-java6-{jre,jdk}
 Cristiano_Said: "sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING ! -d <IP_ADDRESS>/8 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128" - change "<IP_ADDRESS>/8" to the net-address of your LAN
[05:19] <Skapare> supposedly last seen in lucid ... now not there in the archive
[05:20] <TJ-> Skapare: that was dropped from the archives in Precise; openjdk-{6,7}-* is the only ones in there now. If you want the Oracle packages you have to install them directly from the Oracle site
[05:20]  * Skapare was going to check to see what individual libs it depended on
[05:20] <TJ-> Skapare: Oracle throwing its toys out of the pram again - licensing conditions
[05:20] <psichas> how i could install firefox 3.6 to lucid ubuntu?
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> Skapare: or use the ppa from webupd8 to instal the oracle java easily
[05:20] <Skapare> TJ-: unfortunately the android emulator does not run correctly on openjdk
[05:21] <TJ-> Skapare: really? I've never had an issue (so far)
[05:21] <Skapare> TJ: figures ... Oracle seems to be set on destructing Java
[05:21] <TJ-> Skapare: Shame... anyhoooo need at least 45 minutes sleep this morning! g'morning to y'all
[05:21] <Skapare> TJ: well, I haven't actually tested it ... this is what I was told
[05:22] <Cristiano_Said> TJ-and the rules that are already in the script? retreat and put only those that you gave me?
[05:22] <Skapare> TJ: thanks ... I will bang my head on the wall tomorrow

[05:41] <myhero> LorSamPau_w: will it be stable then ?? and can it be due to plugins....??? i had few plugins installed before but then i installed some more plugins...and this problem started after that only....the plugins were....print2pdf, scribd downloader, pdf search engine toolbar and scrpbook plus...also i have turned off  record all recent activities and for apps like fox, gedit, files and whole file system in the system settings....so can it due it or plugins ??
[05:43] <LorSamPau_w> myhero, yes it can be... update to the new version and then if crashes continues - disable the plugins
[05:43] <myhero> LorSamPau_w: ok...
[05:43] <myhero> LorSamPau_w: and what about the system settings part.....
[05:44] <LorSamPau_w> ferric__, yes you can

[05:52] <myhero> LorSamPau_w: the firefox error number from the terminal ??
[05:52] <subdesign> ok thanks
[05:52] <ferric__> LorSamPau_w: i did update, then install upstart and it said upstart was uptodate
[05:52] <ferric__> LorSamPau_w: but there are no binaries
[05:52] <LorSamPau_w> myhero, it's not the error number i think, anyways it's individual, can't find any info on that, i think it's just memory thing
[05:53] <myhero> LorSamPau_w: ok
[05:53] <myhero> LorSamPau_w: i m moving to firefox channel...hope some solutions there....:)
[05:53] <LorSamPau_w> myhero, good luck
[05:54] <quaknor> hi
[05:55] <LorSamPau_w> ferric__, then it's uptodate... i've never done anything with upstart, i just know that it can be removed and installed in one session with no problem
[05:56] <ferric__> LorSamPau_w: yeah, just reinstalled it but /lib/init still has no upstart binary
[05:58] <LorSamPau_w> ferric__, well i guess you can compile upstart yourself, i suggest you askubuntu
[06:01] <ferric__> LorSamPau_w: cool, thank you!
[06:02] <joejack> so my wifi works for a few days like a champ, and then refused to connect for a couple days and so on
[06:02] <joejack> right now it is in its refusing to connect phase
[06:03] <joejack> anything I should check>
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> joejack: does the interface have an IP?
[06:03] <joejack> ActionParsnip dunno how do i check?
[06:03] <celthunder> joejack: do you have an ip traceroute ping ? what've you tested.
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> joejack: ifconfig
[06:06] <joejack> ifconfig or wlan0 is showing bunch of stuff like inet addr, is that it/
[06:06] <vkas> hi
[06:06] <joejack> damn when I did the ifconfig it actually started working again
[06:07] <LorSamPau_w> ))))))))
[06:07] <joejack> maybe that is a way for me to get it working when it goes on strike, just do an ifconfig
[06:07] <LorSamPau_w> joejack, i think that's a coincidence
[06:07] <joejack> ok probably
[06:08] <eshlox> http://wklej.org/id/828806/?hl=text ;-)
[06:08] <joejack> so any ideas as to why my wifi would go on strike every few days?
[06:09] <LorSamPau_w> joejack, other devices connect to that wifi is fine?
[06:09] <thrasher194> o_o
[06:09] <d8bhatta> Hello Guys
[06:09] <vkas> does anybody have an idea about solving this weird problem -  I am working in gnome-classic session and had a panel in the right side of the screen which i deleted. now i cannot reach in the area that was covered by the panel. the area is kind of cut-off from the desktop.
[06:09] <joejack> ok well i will be back next time my wifi goes on strike thanks
[06:09] <d8bhatta> I am getting Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured [Hint: SSLCertificateFile] ((null):0 error
[06:10] <d8bhatta> I need help, it is sucking me
[06:10] <d8bhatta> I have included ssl certificate and ssl key into my vhost
[06:11] <d8bhatta> Followed this oe
[06:11] <d8bhatta> http://blog.noizeramp.com/2010/10/03/apache-2-and-ssl-configuration/
[06:11] <d8bhatta> but no improvment
[06:13] <Barkeep> hi
[06:13] <vkas> even when i take a screenshot of the whole screen - that region is not included in the screenshot
[06:14] <Barkeep> I just installed 12.04 and am having quite a lag
[06:14] <vkas> using a low resolution helps
[06:14] <Barkeep> I suspect it is to do with nvidia graphics card and compiz
[06:15] <Barkeep> Should I revert back to gnome from unity or revert to an old driver?
[06:17] <Barkeep> Also, what about 304.43, the recommended update is still 295.40
[06:18] <LorSamPau_w> Barkeep, in ubuntu it's usually 2 versions of nvidia driver to install: stable and the newest version, i guess you chose the wrong one )
[06:18] <Barkeep> I tried both, it lagged in both
[06:18] <Barkeep> even tabs that I click on firefox open after 3-4 secs
[06:21] <Barkeep> there are 4 selections, version 173, version 173-updates, version-current[rec], version-current-updates
[06:25] <Malaika> hello?
[06:26] <Malaika> I was wondering if anyone can help me I'm having an issue with instalation for some reason
[06:27] <LorSamPau_w> Malaika, what's the issue
[06:27] <Malaika> I have it parttioned and trying to install but everytime it goes to finish it keeps saying no root file system is defined
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> Barkeep: Unity is a shell for Gnome, you already have gnome
[06:29] <LorSamPau_w> Malaika, how is it partitioned?
[06:29] <Barkeep> Yeah, what I meant was, instead of using unity, should I use gnome itself
[06:30] <Malaika> i used wubi.exe to partition and install it
[06:30] <Barkeep> It seems it a common problem with compiz+nvidia+12.04
[06:30] <Barkeep> *+is
[06:31] <Barkeep> I am poking around with compiz settings manager, I installed it yesterday, after it crashed thrice, I deleted
[06:31] <LorSamPau_w> Malaika, i've never tried wubi... it's better to do the partitioning yourself to prevent from this kind of errors
[06:32] <Malaika> but when I try to partition myself it won't even show even the main drive
[06:32] <Barkeep> now I can't install it back, software center says it has untrusted packages
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> Barkeep: you are using gnome itself, unity isn't a replacement for gnome
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> Barkeep: if you want the old school shell then install gnome-panel
[06:33] <LorSamPau_w> Malaika, well that's the problem
[06:33] <Barkeep> I did so, now I can choose whether to start with gnome (old school) or ubuntu(unity) from log in screen
[06:34] <Barkeep> but I want to make unity work
[06:34] <Malaika> its seems the only true choice I have from the disk I have is to install over windows but I don't even know if I'll run into the same problem
[06:34] <LorSamPau_w> Barkeep, what's your gf card?
[06:34] <bill_> I like work on ked
[06:34] <Barkeep> nvidia 8400 GS
[06:34] <bill_> I like work on kde
[06:35] <phy1729> I have a box that is connect to the LAN and has a wifi card (Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413/AR2414) I'd like to make an AP and put people directly on the network.
[06:36] <LorSamPau_w> Malaika, just run install setup and go to the partition-step and manually make sure that it sees all of the drives, than go back and choose install ubuntu along side with win
[06:36] <bustacap> Are there any good applications for viewing security cameras over ip for ubuntu?
[06:37] <LorSamPau_w> Barkeep, is it necessary for you to use compiz?
[06:37] <Malaika> the demo sees the drive but when I tell it to install and use a partition it doesn't even bring up the drive itself to partition
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> bustacap: try zoneminder
[06:37] <Malaika> gparted see's them but the install does not
[06:38] <bustacap> ActionParsnip, you have the answers for everything! You're the best lol
[06:38] <Barkeep> well, I "can" use the one that is used in 2D
[06:38] <LorSamPau_w> Barkeep, have you tired nomodeset?
[06:38] <Barkeep> nomodeset?
[06:38] <Barkeep> for compiz?
[06:39] <LorSamPau_w> for get rid of it and make sure that sceen looks fine)
[06:39] <LorSamPau_w> screen
[06:41] <bill_315> Hello
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> bustacap: been using Linux a while :)
[06:42] <bill_315> I am having class
[06:42] <Malaika> does it mater to the fact my system is raided?
[06:43] <LorSamPau_w> Malaika, lokely
[06:43] <LorSamPau_w> likely
[06:43] <blackshirt> bill_315, what you mean with having class lol
[06:43] <devxdev> How can I allow my users to create directories in their home dir?
[06:44] <devxdev> all of them get perm. denied
[06:44] <Barkeep> There is this suggestion, purging all nvidia and installing Nouveau
[06:44] <Malaika> I keep coming across people saying to use sudo apt-get remove dmraid but I don't know where I need to imput this at from the ubuntu main screen
[06:44] <Barkeep> would that be stable
[06:44] <Barkeep> (not that nvidia itself is stable)
[06:44] <blackshirt> devxdev: usually user can create directories on their home dir
[06:45] <devxdev> sorry forgot to say jailed ssh connections
[06:45] <LorSamPau_w> Malaika, you must type it in the terminal
[06:45] <Malaika> how do I bring up the terminal?
[06:45] <devxdev> Malaika, ctrl+alt+t
[06:46] <blackshirt> devxdev: on some chrooted/jailed ssh environment, check your chroot dir, where the server place the "root"
[06:46] <Malaika> thank you I may be back if things arent any beter
[06:46] <blackshirt> devxdev: maybe the admin doesn't give that permission
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> Malaika: if you use terminal a lot I suggest you install guake :)
[06:47] <devxdev> I can change permissions on the dirs to what ever they need to be, but im not sure what exactly that is :p
[06:47] <outhorand> #nairobignu
[06:48] <devxdev> blackshirt, 755?
[06:49] <bill_315> I first come into irc
[06:49] <Kartagis> files always should be 644, directories 755
[06:50] <devxdev> Kartagis, ty :)
[06:50] <Kartagis> np
[06:51] <Kartagis> of course files should be 644 if you want others to snoop around
[06:51] <Kartagis> and the same for directories
[06:51] <blackshirt> not always, because we can change it .. but it was usually based on distro policy
[06:56] <devxdev> ok lmao I've just been fiddling with this for far to long and getting annoyed. I was trying to have a dir '/chroot' that had the whole shabang from ..archive.ubuntu.com..
[06:56] <devxdev> then have '/chroot/sites/X' where X would be a users home dir but everytime I attempted an ssh login i got "/bin/bash: no such file or directory" then I mounted all the main files to X and it works
[06:56] <devxdev> is there a way to do it so that its looking for /chroot/bin/bash instead of /chroot/sites/X/bin/bash ?
[06:57]  * Barkeep leaves to install nouveau
[07:13] <Kartagis> guys, do you have a solution to shockwave flash keeping crashing on chromium?
[07:13] <LorSamPau_w> !gnash
[07:13] <xcervo> Kartagis, I also have that problem
[07:14] <Calinou> gnash works 5% of the time
[07:14] <Calinou> doesn't even work for speedtest :|
[07:14] <Kartagis> LorSamPau_w: I have adobe flash I think
[07:14] <Kartagis> should I remove sw?
[07:16] <LorSamPau_w> Kartagis, i don't know the solution, one of them is to disable hardware acceletarion, other - to compile flash by yourself, third - install other version of chrome\flash - and thats pretty much it
[07:17] <xcervo> Calinou, I tried gnash but still crashed after a few seconds
[07:18] <Eagleman> How do i fix OpenVPN 2.1 requires '--script-security2' or higher to call user-defined scripts or executables ?
[07:19] <fling> How to prevent my urcvtc terminal from printing?
[07:19] <fling> I press some combo sometimes and it prints my whole terminal history
[07:24] <xcervo> hello guys, how can i play wmv file on ubuntu?
[07:29] <hypershock> hey guys what can I do to grub or wherever to make it so when my comp boots that I can see the grub screen any of the console screens, currently I can't see anything until login screen. I have nvidia 304 driver installed.
[07:29] <hypershock> screen any == screen *or* any
[07:29] <LorSamPau_w> /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[07:30] <LorSamPau_w> and to edit that you must edit scripts that compiles it - /etc/grub.d/
[07:30] <LorSamPau_w> there are you options to show grub, to set timeout and other stuff... change it - then "sudo update-grub"
[07:31] <hypershock> LorSamPau_w: will that solve the not being able to see anything? by invisible I mean that the kernel is default outputting a modeline that the monitor is refusing to acknowledge.
[07:33] <LorSamPau_w> hypershock, if you boot with pushing shift(or pressing esc) - grub shows? - try that
[07:33] <LorSamPau_w> if not - my solution will not help
[07:33] <mrAlmond> hi everyone
[07:33] <mrAlmond> I've problems with ubuntu 12.04 server and a software raid 0
[07:34] <hypershock> LorSamPau_w: yeah that won't work, because of the "unsupported resolution", of which goes away at the login screen as the resolution then enters the supported range of the monitor.
[07:34] <mrAlmond> the md device is fine but when I boot grub says "error : no such disk" and then the rescue console is spawned
[07:35] <LorSamPau_w> hypershock, you can manually change grub resolution using my first advice
[07:36] <hypershock> LorSamPau_w: can you tell me exactly what to edit or look for? those scripts in grub.d are huge! :)
[07:38] <xcervo> hello guys, how can i play wmv file on ubuntu?
[07:39] <phy1729> I have hostapd configured and I can see the AP but I can't connect to it with the password
[07:39] <LorSamPau_w> hypershock, i think its 00_header ... search there for "gfxmod"
[07:39] <LorSamPau_w> xcervo, you can
[07:39] <LorSamPau_w> canon
[07:39] <EoN> so i have ubuntu with unity on my VMware Fusion - how do i change it from unity to gnome3?
[07:40] <luingar> anyone know the md5sum of the 64 bit ubuntu iso?
[07:40] <xcervo> LorSamPau, do I nid to install some plugins?
[07:40] <luingar> 64bit desktop ubuntu iso?
[07:40] <LorSamPau_w> xcervo, use vlc for example
[07:41] <LorSamPau_w> luingar, 7de611b50c283c1755b4007a4feb0379
[07:41] <luingar> thanks.

[07:43] <luingar> crao
[07:43] <EoN> how do i change to use gnome3 please?
[07:43] <POVaddct> luingar: what are you looking for?
[07:43] <LorSamPau_w> luingar, this is for 12.04 - 128f0c16f4734c420b0185a492d92e52
[07:43] <LorSamPau_w> luingar, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[07:43] <POVaddct> nevermind :)
[07:44] <LorSamPau_w> EoN, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

[07:44] <luingar> all of those are useless cuz i got like 12.04.1
[07:44] <luingar> oh hey
[07:45] <luingar> tsimpson: thanks a bundle, that was what i need
[07:45]  * luingar burns
[07:45] <EoN> LorSamPau_w: : what does the ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 bit do?
[07:46]  * POVaddct calls a fire fighter
[07:46] <arulmozhi> hide "username@computer: ~$" part in the terminal. how to do that. instead just "~$" is enough. i have seen in some video tutorials they don't have all these. just "~$"
[07:46] <LorSamPau_w> EoN, adds gnome3 repository
[07:46] <luingar> so what's the first thing i should do after installing ubuntu? sudo apt-get update?
[07:47] <LorSamPau_w> luingar, i always install video driver first )
[07:47] <luingar> none comes with ubuntu?
[07:47] <The_Josh> I am installing Gnome 3
[07:47] <POVaddct> they really should switch to sha256sum for the hashes. oh, they also have that: http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/SHA256SUMS
[07:48] <The_Josh> Only if this Unity had movable launcher
[07:48] <luingar> what's the difference?
[07:48] <The_Josh> or the bar
[07:48] <The_Josh> whatever they call it
[07:48] <The_Josh> I would have used it
[07:48] <FloodBot1> The_Josh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:48] <The_Josh> ?
[07:48] <LorSamPau_w> luingar, it comes with, but it's not proprietary
[07:48] <tsimpson> arulmozhi: put "export PS1='\w\$'" in your ~/.bashrc
[07:49]  * lubmil slucha sobie: Fanatic - Czarownica
[07:49] <luingar> why is sha256sum better than md5sum?
[07:49] <The_Josh> Is gnome3 any good?
[07:50] <mrAlmond> why the "boot" command in "grub rescue" is not recognized???
[07:50] <mrAlmond> with ubuntu 12.04 server?
[07:50] <LorSamPau_w> The_Josh, if you don't like unity - good )
[07:51] <POVaddct> luingar: md5 is considered as "broken". thus you can alter data and get the same md5sum.
[07:51] <The_Josh> LorSamPau_w, As I previously mentioned, I didn't dislike it that much, but It reduces the screen space due to the huge bar on left and it comes in way
[07:51] <The_Josh> If I was able to move it to bottom, but it seems in ubuntu 12.04 you can't do it
[07:51] <LorSamPau_w> The_Josh, well it's kinda the same
[07:51] <POVaddct> luingar: but i think its still difficult enough to do that, so md5 kind of works
[07:52] <IncogNegro> Hey I am attempting to install ubuntu desktop 12.04.1 on my pc. I am installing from usb and shooting for a dual boot setup. I created a 24gb swap and am installing it on 450gb of ext4 free space. Once it gets to the end of copying files it just hangs and does nothing. Should I just wait hella long? I do not know whatI am doing wrong but I do know that my wifi card in the computer doesnt work in ubuntu so I am using a usb wifi. an
[07:52] <IncogNegro> y help would be appreciated
[07:52] <The_Josh> By the way, How to install programs through that are not in Software center or the package respiratory
[07:52] <Ascavasaion> How do I mount a NTFS (Windows XP) device that is not in the /etc/fstab file?  I have tried sudo mount t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/hda1  It mounts, but when I cd into it permission is denied.
[07:52] <The_Josh> through terminal*
[07:52] <EoN> do most people here prefer unity or gnome3?
[07:53] <LorSamPau_w> EoN, unity, cause it's default
[07:53] <The_Josh> EoN, Currently, I am going to try gnome3
[07:53] <EoN> LorSamPau_w: but which one do you prefer?
[07:53] <The_Josh> But its only 50% downloaded, so I'll tell you later after using it
[07:53] <The_Josh> :P
[07:53] <EoN> The_Josh: yeah i want to try it too
[07:53] <The_Josh> Lets just try it :P
[07:53] <LorSamPau_w> EoN, but now mint - is more popular than ubuntu - and it's using gnome3
[07:54] <EoN> also, how do i install a video driver for ubuntu for my macbook pro?
[07:54] <baizon> no its not
[07:54] <The_Josh> LorSamPau_w, No?
[07:54] <LorSamPau_w> EoN, i'm using win8 and win7 )))
[07:54] <baizon> mint isnt more popular then ubuntu
[07:54] <The_Josh> Mint wont have a huge community so fast
[07:54] <LorSamPau_w> EoN, i prefer gnome with some docks
[07:54] <The_Josh> so it'll have to wawit
[07:54] <The_Josh> wait*
[07:55] <The_Josh> And ubuntu has nothing wrong you can have gnome3 installed in ubuntu
[07:55] <The_Josh> so why install mint?
[07:55] <EoN> a lot of people say unity is terrible?
[07:56] <IncogNegro> yup I just hit continue and it is just hanging at the "where are you" screen with the spinny cursor
[07:56] <Tony_Shi> ...
[07:56] <spoljo> EoN: a lot of people say that windows is better too.
[07:56] <EoN> The_Josh: yeah that's what i odnt understand. why do people switch to mint instead of just using gnome3 with ubuntu?
[07:56] <LorSamPau_w> The_Josh, you are arguing with yourself
[07:56] <spoljo> use what you like.
[07:56] <EoN> spoljo: do you prefer unity to gnome3?
[07:56] <luingar> isn't unity a 3d engine?
[07:56] <spoljo> EoN: awesomewm. I use ubuntu minimal installation and build it myself
[07:57] <EoN> i would be willing to give unity a chance - except almost unanimously everyone tells me it sucks.
[07:57] <EoN> but if its workable i'd give it a go
[07:57] <baizon> i tried unity
[07:57] <baizon> and love it :)
[07:57] <EoN> what's the keyshort cut to get to a shell?
[07:57] <EoN> in unity

[07:59]  * Barkeep is back
[07:59] <EoN> is there a 'notepad' type application built into ubuntu/unity? i want to test typing
[07:59] <Barkeep> purging all of the nvidia drivers than installing 304.43 did the trick
[07:59] <tsimpson> LorSamPau_w: distrowatch is by no means authoritative, it's a page-hit count (and mint has an advert on top of distrowatch pages, so that's no surprise)
[07:59] <spoljo> EoN: gedit
[07:59] <hypershock> LorSamPau_w: http://techpatterns.com/forums/about1795.html solves the grub issues quite easily. and thanks for all of your help else I wouldn't have found that link. :)
[07:59] <Barkeep> it says it is as different version than current driver
[07:59] <baizon> LorSamPau_w: lol ... " On my own opinion, Ubuntu unity is the one reason why Ubuntu is not the most popular distro anymore. "
[08:00] <baizon> its distrowatch
[08:00] <baizon> its not counting the installation numbers
[08:00] <LorSamPau_w> hypershock, no problem
[08:00] <baizon> it counts the clicks
[08:00] <Barkeep> but  the things I did broke grub, it is not ubuntu purple, now it says debian
[08:00] <tsimpson> anyway, let's try and keep to support discussion in here, though feel free to continue the discussion of mint/unity in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:00] <Calinou> Barkeep, happened to me once. it's purely cosmetic
[08:00] <Barkeep> I want my purple back

 mint isnt more popular then ubuntu
[08:01] <chaterz> someone know how to change the mouse with a command ? or install new mouse easily ?
[08:01] <Calinou> and in addition to that: mint sucks
[08:01] <Barkeep> it seems like the blue people problem in videos were resolved as well
[08:01] <Barkeep> I was planning to tackle that
[08:02] <LorSamPau_w> baizon, ok
[08:02] <Barkeep> oh, well
[08:02] <hypershock> now to another video problem. --- I have the nvidia driver v304 installed. and still i have one mode that "display settings" & "nvidia x server settings" doesn't display which is "1280x1024" to be exact. I would like to add that mode to the options list. How?
[08:02] <baizon> Calinou: agree
[08:02] <baizon> tested mint
[08:02] <baizon> wasnt happy with it
[08:03] <LorSamPau_w> hypershock, its in /etc/x11/xorg
[08:03] <LorSamPau_w> hypershock, /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[08:08] <hypershock> LorSamPau_w: isn't that also compiled by scripts?
[08:09] <LorSamPau_w> hypershock, i'm not sure
[08:10] <Calinou> I have similar problem on my xubuntu 12.04 amd64, can't use 60hz, only 50hz, my screen supports 60hz
[08:10] <Calinou> didn't happen with ubuntu 11.10 i386
[08:11] <hypershock> I used to be able to do all of this a long time ago when there were simple config files. now everythig is obfuscated like the american government, i mean, regime.

[08:21] <hypershock> Rudeboy: in your install do you have the correct drivers for your card installed? if its nvidia you might need version 304 as found in the proposed repository. I know I did to get those effects going.

[08:23] <kapu> halo sir

[08:29] <hypershock> Rudeboy: yep, that's nvidia. now open your dash and search for "nvidia x" it'll bring up "nvidia x server settings" you can click that and it'll tell you  your driver version.
[08:29] <Rudeboy> hypershock: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
