[00:00] <coldpizza72i> Im assuming "echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" is not supposed to output a blank line
[00:01] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: here it is: http://pastebin.com/hAa8azsX
[00:01] <ozpy> w4sp: does it mean that anytime I update my 12.04 I'll get the same issues?... so far I have rebooted 5 times and  it works
[00:03] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: sorry got disconn
[00:03] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: did i miss anything?
[00:03] <HACKhalo2> hey, I got my desktop set up to use my wide scren tv, but the picture is shifted to the right by about 5 inches. running the latest nvidia drivers. is there anything I can do?
[00:06] <n2deep> HACKhalo2: in your tv settings, tell your tv to "just scan"
[00:06] <W4sp> ozpy: I don't know but I have to assume that the information is written to the hardware temporarily. I have gone thorugh the doc and can't see any reference to a file where the information is stored and read during boot time.
[00:06] <Guest95570> just scan
[00:06] <l3d> was wondering if I was to install lubuntu 12.04 I can install most or all the app I use no in ubuntu 12.04
[00:07] <Dr_Willis> l3d:  you can install any app you would want.. they all use the same repos
[00:07] <Dr_Willis> l3d:  thats a main feature of the package manager system. it will pull in any needed dependencies for any app you tell it to install.
[00:07] <otak> mrdigital, i would use PATH="$PATH:/home/mrs/Scripts/todo/todo.txt_cli-2.9"
[00:08] <l3d> nice  thank you
[00:08] <mrdigital> otak: let me try; thanks btw
[00:08] <Dr_Willis> otak:  if you made a /home/mrs/bin directory and put a link from the script to a file IN that bin dir.. it would get auto added to the default path
[00:09] <HACKhalo2> TV wouldn't let me do just scan, but I finally figured out how to adjust the screen settings
[00:09] <HACKhalo2> thank you!
[00:10] <mrdigital> otak: it stopped the bash variable completely. sorry that did not work. thanks for trying though
[00:12] <Jordan_U> mrdigital: The line t='/home/mrs/Scripts/todo/todo.txt_cli-2.9/todo.sh' is either completely useless or the authors of this todo.txt app have chosen a multiply terrible environment variable. Is the variable really supposed to be the single letter 't'? Where did you get this line from?
[00:13] <coldpizza72i> The icons on my desktop are not loading as well as any locations I try to open from the places drop down menu
[00:13] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: i got it from their official document/faq that is available on their website. It does not have to be "t", i have used it cause they have used the same
[00:14] <coldpizza72i> programs such as terminal and firefox load fine
[00:15] <Jordan_U> mrdigital: I can't find a line anything like that on thier website. I think you intended to make an alias, when all you really did was create a variable $t.
[00:17] <coldpizza72i> ANyone ever heard of this problem before?
[00:17] <Jordan_U> mrdigital: alias t='/home/mrs/Scripts/todo/todo.txt_cli-2.9/todo.sh'
[00:17] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: here is the link https://github.com/ginatrapani/todo.txt-cli/wiki/Tips-and-Tricks
[00:18] <Jordan_U> mrdigital: You forgot the word "alias".
[00:18] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: yes you are right
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. an alias is radicially differnt then a path. ;)
[00:19] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: yes i think i deleted alias when i was trying out something else, btw i am stil getting that error msg
[00:20] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: i think i got it....maybe I have to edit the bash on the normal user cause up till now all that i have done is on root
[00:21] <Dreadtower> Silly one here, I've forgotten how to execute a .sh
[00:21] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: hence it is giving me an error when the terminal is booting in the normal user acc
[00:21] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: let me check
[00:21] <Dreadtower> . ./????.sh
[00:21] <Dreadtower> sudo . ./<name>.sh
[00:22] <Jordan_U> Dreadtower: chmod +x foo.sh && ./foo.sh
[00:22] <Dreadtower> Ah! Of ocourse
[00:22] <Dreadtower> Thx :)
[00:22] <FaTaLe> hi all
[00:23] <Jordan_U> Dreadtower: You're welcome. The '.' command is a bash builtin which is equivalent to the "source" builtin command, and executed the contents of the file in the current shell, which is almost certainly not what you want.
[00:23] <Dreadtower> lol
[00:23] <Dreadtower> It did thrash around for 2 minutes :)
[00:24] <Dreadtower> I was about to kill it
[00:24] <Dreadtower> THx for the help and for the fuller explanation :)
[00:24] <Dreadtower> I now understand what . does
[00:25] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: anyways no luck ...that did not work...i am going to call it a night ....:-(
[00:26] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: thanks
[00:27] <Jordan_U> mrdigital: You're welcome. I'll bet that the error you're seeing is not a result of either of those lines in the bashrc.
[00:27] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: but those are the only ones that i have added
[00:28] <mrdigital> Jordan_U: will have a look at it tomm, thanks again
[00:29] <craigbass1976> I don't understand why I can't shrink an ntfs partition using a livecd.  It might have something to do with the exclamation point next to the /dev/sda3 label, but I can't read the whole error message when I right click and try to see the information
[00:32] <deitarion> What's the simplest way to run PulseAudio on top of dmix and get as many apps as possible on dmix? (I got stealth-upgraded to Skype 4.0 and it introduces a 10-second lag in playback if you don't have PulseAudio. Apparently it's Ubuntu's fault for forcing PulseAudio on apps in a manner that breaks Skype if you simple uninstall it)
[00:32] <deitarion> I can't just use PulseAudio because it likes to suddenly start consuming 100% of one of my CPU cores when I play various games.
[00:33] <Jordan_U> deitarion: I would recommend asking about the 100% CPU utilization in #pulseaudio.
[00:34] <deitarion> Jordan_U: They've been announcing "it's fixed now" for far too long. It'll never be "fixed now".
[00:36] <Jordan_U> deitarion: Have you tried asking about the 100% CPU utilization in #pulseaudio yet?
[00:37] <deitarion> Jordan_U: If I hadn't been distracted by something IRL, I'd have finished saying that I don't think it's worth it. I'm actually more likely to run Windows Skype in Wine or VirtualBox or use some other VoIP solution than to put up with PulseAudio. (Or switch back to Gentoo where a pulse-free system is a supported option)
[00:37] <deitarion> I only switched to Lubuntu because I needed my system reinstalled fast.
[00:39] <deitarion> Let's try a different question. Since I KNOW Mumble doesn't depend on the pulseaudio daemon (just the library), can anyone remind me how to pin the "pulseaudio" package at "Not installed, disallow, but treat as installed for the purposes of dependency resolution"?
[00:40] <threex5> What do you all think is the best music manager for ubuntu? I'd like to be able to sync my ipod and have playlist folders (something most linux managers seem not to have)

[00:52] <SKullB0x> hi, is there any mobile internet connection manager available for ubuntu 12.04?
[00:53] <SKullB0x> i've got hawaeii 3g usb is there any internet manager for this device?
[00:53] <enix> how do i get this dumb bar on the right side to go away. it sux

[00:56] <enix> ubottu: i know your a bot but i have to download a bunch a stuff just to get an application bar to autohide? lame. windows atleat has taskbar hiding down.
[00:56] <enix> ubottu i know your a bot but i have to download a bunch a stuff just to get an application bar to autohide? lame. windows atleat has taskbar hiding down.
[00:56] <bazhang> enix, stop that
[00:57] <enix> bazhang: the only one here with any *help* is a bot? lamesouce
[00:58] <bazhang> enix, this is NOT the complaints channel.
[00:58] <enix> bazhang: isnt anytime someone needs help a complaint?
[00:59] <enix> bazhang: lemme try this....will someone help me autohide the weak taskbar?
[00:59] <MonkeyDust> enix  use myUnity, it's in the software center
[01:00] <enix> MonkeyDust: thanks for your input, i will look into that.
[01:04] <SKullB0x> exit
[01:07] <Dr_Willis> what taskbar?
[01:08] <MissionControl> I like ubuntu 10.04 and I want to keep it at 10.04
[01:09] <MissionControl> I don't know how I can without support for repositories 'n' stuff
[01:09] <Dr_Willis> 10.04 still has support for some time...
[01:09] <MissionControl> I know
[01:09] <MissionControl> but it will go out soon
[01:09] <Dr_Willis> manpower is the ultimate limiting factor in anything..
[01:10] <MissionControl> is there perhaps some way of accessing some other repository or some way I can still get support for ubuntu even though it will have been run out?
[01:10] <Dr_Willis> depends on your definition of 'support'
[01:10] <Dr_Willis> Security updates and so forth will not get ported back into the older versions..  thats the main issue.
[01:10] <MissionControl> I want to have security and I want to have access to software center 'n' stuff
[01:11] <MissionControl> or have software center work and be able to find packages
[01:11] <Dr_Willis> if Security is a primary concern then you will want to upgrade.
[01:11] <MissionControl> : \
[01:11] <Dr_Willis> Once somthing goes out of 'support' the repos dont just vanish.. but they do eventiually get moved to an archive server
[01:11] <MissionControl> hmmmm
[01:12] <Dr_Willis> if you are on a home pc and run n0o services.. then  i doubt if you will be under much risk.. but you wont be getting newer versions of many apps you may want.
[01:12] <MissionControl> so I could still have some support in a sense
[01:12] <Dr_Willis> depends on your definition of 'support'
[01:12] <MissionControl> maybe I will just upgrade then
[01:12] <Dr_Willis> 'support' = security updates ;)    is the main 'part' of supports definition i would say.
[01:13] <MissionControl> no third party group of people who offer support for older OS?
[01:13] <i7c> Dr_Willis: including the smiley?
[01:13] <Led_Zeppelin> hi, I have a HP Pavalion and it has a headphone jack in the front. How can I test them?
[01:14] <i7c> Led_Zeppelin: what do you mean by test? plug headphones and play some music?
[01:14] <coldpizza72i> Would it take longer to update ubuntu from 10 as apposed to from 11
[01:15] <Led_Zeppelin> i7c, heh, let me try that. where can I get xmms?
[01:15] <Tony_Stark> coldpizza72i: Yes it would.  You would have to increment...but just install 12.04
[01:15] <Dr_Willis> coldpizza72i:  you normally go from whatever version you got -- release by relase untill you get to a LTS version. then you can go LTS to Lts...
[01:15] <i7c> Led_Zeppelin: sudo apt-get install xmms2
[01:15] <MissionControl> I have a 12.04 dvd
[01:15] <Led_Zeppelin> i7c, done that. how do I statit up?
[01:16] <MissionControl> and all my important data is saved on a different disk
[01:16] <MissionControl> upgrading won't be too much of a problem
[01:16] <Dr_Willis> when in doubt.. have backups at other locations also. ;)
[01:16] <i7c> Led_Zeppelin: does xmms have a GUI? then with launcher  (alt+f2)
[01:16] <i7c> Led_Zeppelin: type xxms2 and it should start by hitting return
[01:17] <Led_Zeppelin> no, nothing comes up!
[01:17] <i7c> xmms*
[01:17] <Led_Zeppelin> i did
[01:17] <Dr_Willis> xmms2 does not use a gui.. it has clients that access it.
[01:17] <zykotick9> MissionControl: FYI debian's current stable version, squeeze, is supported for more then 1 year as of today.  Lucid was based on squeeze when it was "testing".
[01:17] <Dr_Willis> those give the gui, u recall
[01:17] <Led_Zeppelin> xmms2           xmms2d          xmms2-launcher
[01:17] <Led_Zeppelin> none of them work
[01:17] <i7c> Led_Zeppelin: so then you need to install a client for xmms
[01:17] <Dr_Willis> !info xmms2
[01:17] <Dr_Willis> why use xmms2 when theres other media players in the repos ;)
[01:17] <Led_Zeppelin> oh man, xmms2 got this complicated!
[01:18] <Led_Zeppelin> Dr_Willis, what should I use?
[01:18] <Dr_Willis> !xmms
[01:18] <Dr_Willis> !media
[01:18] <i7c> Led_Zeppelin: http://xmms2.org/wiki/Clients   or there are also easier players
[01:18] <MissionControl> so maybe I can base off of the Debian Repository instead
[01:18] <MissionControl> well I'll figure it out
[01:18] <MissionControl> thanks for the info
[01:18] <Dr_Willis> MissionControl:  you dont add debian repos into a ubuntu system.
[01:19] <zykotick9> MissionControl: DON'T mix distros!  that's insane.
[01:19] <MissionControl> it is
[01:19] <MissionControl> but as a last resort I think I will try it just to see what happens
[01:19] <Dr_Willis> one way to get to do a clean install.. ;)
[01:20] <ines> how can i downgrade the grub version for other older?
[01:20] <Dr_Willis> what other version?
[01:20] <Dr_Willis> an older grub2 version? or back to grub1? or back to LILO. ;)
[01:24] <Led_Zeppelin> ok, my audio works from the back, but it seems I have a connection in the front also.
[01:24] <Led_Zeppelin> how can I make sure that works? I plugged in my headphones abut can see  to figure it out
[01:25] <enix> MonkeyDust: tried thay MyUnity....apparently i was running a '2D' window manager, no worky with your app.. Log out, check, sure enough im on Ubuntu 2D, swith over to regular Ubuntu. took forever but i have a desktop w/ no bar on top or left side and an error that compiz(i think) crashed. altctrlf2 to get a cli and here i am
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> Led_Zeppelin:  theres some sound test app that plays sounds to the front left, front right, front center and so forth...
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> but i forget the name/command.
[01:27] <Led_Zeppelin> Dr_Willis, right. so, first how can I check what should I have?
[01:28] <Led_Zeppelin> like, how can I see my sound card options?
[01:28] <Hesham> Hello
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/162160/how-do-you-test-multiple-speakers-in-ubuntu-distributions
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> not sure what options you mean Led_Zeppelin ..
[01:28] <Hesham> help
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> !ask
[01:29] <J3f> what hapen
[01:29] <TaJMoX> HELP PLEASE: So I got Ubuntu running perfectly, all the little hardware and software tweaks I need. How do I save an image state? (I know using dd if=/dev/sda1 of=image.iso but that means that my HDD partitioning has to be EXACTLY matching if I ever want to restore?) ... What's a really safe and easy way to make a recovery image or something of the like?  THANKS
[01:30] <Dr_Willis> TaJMoX:  that will NOT be an 'iso9660' image.. it will be a clone of the first Partition.
[01:30] <TaJMoX> I haven't used Linux in many years, and I know when it breaks, it's hard to fix. So I'd like to make a quick and simple recovery sollution, based on what I've currently got set up.
[01:30] <Dr_Willis> !backup
[01:30] <Hesham> it is my first day in ubuntu, i have a built-in graphic card but it says it is unknown <ATI x1250> mother board m2a-vm asus
[01:30] <Dr_Willis> TaJMoX:  when it breaks - i normally find it not hard to fix.
[01:31] <TaJMoX> Dr_Willis so I'll save it as a .backupImage or something ... and to restore, just boot from Live CD and do 'dd if=BackupImage of=/dev/sda1' ??
[01:31] <Dr_Willis> TaJMoX:  thats the basics.. clonezilla gives a better solution however.
[01:31] <TaJMoX> Thanks Dr_Willis for the ubottu info, I'll go read. Just wanted personal opinions.
[01:31] <TaJMoX> Thanks!
[01:31] <TaJMoX> I'll check out clonezilla
[01:32] <Dr_Willis> if you shrank the partions down to the smallest they could be.. you could image the system to a usb flash drive. ;)
[01:33] <enix> MonkeyDust: having trouble with the taskbar autohiding, someone recomended  tried that MyUnity....apparently i was running a '2D' window manager, no worky with your app.. Log out, check, sure enough im on Ubuntu 2D, swith over to regular Ubuntu. took forever but i have a desktop w/ no bar on top or left side and an error that compiz(i think) crashed. altctrlf2 to get a cli and here i am
[01:33] <Hesham> any one can help ?, it is my first day in ubuntu, i have a built-in graphic card but it says it is unknown, <ATI x1250> mother board m2a-vm asus
[01:33] <enix> Dr_Willis: haha that message to monkey was for you....(damn fat fingers)
[01:34] <Dr_Willis> enix:  i dont even remember the problem..
[01:34] <Hesham> Dr_Willis ?
[01:34] <Dr_Willis> Im using 12.10 beta testing right now.  so no idea on unity2d. Its gone in 12.10 ;)
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> !ati
[01:35] <enix> Dr_Willis: i was trying to bring you up to speed. all i want is the taskbar to autohide... now compiz has crashed
[01:35] <system055> hi
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> enix:  i alwyas set it to never hide when auto-hideing was the default. :)   and shrink it down.
[01:35] <Hesham> thanks ubottu
[01:38] <enix> Dr_Willis: im on 12.04, when i looked how to hide it didnt work
[01:38] <Dr_Willis> night all
[01:38] <enix> Dr_Willis: see ya
[01:39] <ubuntu__>  /nick asdfg
[01:45] <ev_> i have issues with my window managers, anyone wanna toss their hat in the ring
[01:48] <morpheu> someone messes with apache
[01:48] <W4sp> !ask
[01:49] <W4sp> !someone
[01:52] <ev_> does anyone know how to fix compiz that crashes, i cant do much in gnome
[01:53] <Darkenvy> I accidently (well kinda intentionally) overwritten my harddrive through quick format. how can I retrieve files if that space wasnt overwritten?
[01:53] <craigbass1976> I don't understand why I can't shrink an ntfs partition using a livecd.  I ran defrag and the Vista computer is not running Norton.  Any other likely culprits?
[01:54] <Darkenvy> I actually reinstalled ubuntu as a fresh install but only backeduped the 'savestate' of a vital virtual machine
[01:56] <ev_> Darkenvy: i know of something that can recover lost files, look into photorec, it recovers alot
[01:56] <rypervenche> Darkenvy: Use testdisk.
[01:57] <rypervenche> Darkenvy: You can most likely restore your old partition.
[01:57] <Darkenvy> well thats good to know
[02:00] <W4sp> ev_: I suggest you log into your system as a different user and see if it gives the same error. Then you know if its your setting or soemthing deeper rooted.
[02:00] <Darkenvy> testdisk is only finding the current partition. I overwritten the current partition for the same partition.
[02:01] <ev_> W4sp: i will try that, have to do a reboot, brb
[02:01] <Darkenvy> so im not recovering a file from a non-existent partition but one that is currently as it was but with the actual link to the file removed essentially
[02:02] <W4sp> craigbass1976: The best option is to perform those tasks from within Windows. What version do you have? If that's Vista as well I can't tell but '7' has the option to modify NTFS partitions. I do not recommend to perform those tasks from LiveCD.
[02:03] <craigbass1976> W4sp, It's Vista.  I can resize a partition from within windows?
[02:04] <Elesa> Hi! Can someone help me with a login problem? When I (well, it's a friend) login into the main account, a black screen appears and some white letters appear as well, then it automatically logs out.
[02:04] <morpheu> My httpd not hundreds of hides the door applies. example: www.dominio.com.br then converts it to the user www.dominio.com.br:8090 what I do to solve
[02:04] <craigbass1976> Elesa, what if you hit Ctrl + Alt + F1 ?  Will that also get you to a login?  Can you log in?
[02:06] <W4sp> Darkenvy: I suggest you run dd and save the HDD or partition to safe place.
[02:06] <Elesa> Yup.
[02:07] <W4sp> craigbass1976: I know that 7 can, not sure about Vista (##windows may know more).
[02:07] <Elesa> We did sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:08] <ev_> W4sp: same problem
[02:08] <Elesa> And well, it didn't work.
[02:08] <Elesa> I told her to install GNOME Panel, maybe it's a issue with Unity and Nvidia + Bumblebee, but I'm not sure at all. It was working fine earlier.
[02:11] <ev_> W4sp: i was running 'Ubuntu 2D' but it crashes when i use regular 'ubuntu'
[02:12] <W4sp> morpheu: Not sure what you require as I don't understand.
[02:12] <W4sp> !br | morpheu
[02:13] <demiurge> hi guys. does anyone know how to change color depth to 24/32 bits?
[02:14] <Elesa> Help please?
[02:16] <W4sp> ev_: Did you install any packages prior the crashes? Were updates applied? You can see that in /var/log/dpkg ir you are unsure. You may need to clean up the installation.
[02:18] <ev_> W4sp: i installed myUnity based on anothers recomendation to get the taskbar to autohide. i can remove myUnity...
[02:19] <Elesa> Help please..
[02:22] <chrootedidiot> hey, I broke my ubuntu, is this a support channel?
[02:22] <chrootedidiot> please say yes
[02:22] <ksinkar_> chrootedidiot: tell me
[02:22] <ev_> W4sp: i can just go back to the 2d working WM, just have to deal with a taskbar that wont hide...something windoze seemed to have figured oout
[02:23] <Transhumanist> yes
[02:23] <Transhumanist> there is also #ubuntuforums as well as the Ubuntu forums themselves
[02:23] <chrootedidiot> ksinkar_: I broke everything. tried to use the rc shell, now my terminals wont open
[02:23] <Transhumanist> can you access Ubuntu Software Centre?
[02:23] <chrootedidiot> instead of chsh like a normal person I edited /etc/passwd
[02:23] <ev_> Transhumanist: is there any real difference between the two, for future ref...?
[02:24] <chrootedidiot> oh yeah, and Im using ubuntu minimal
[02:24] <Transhumanist> ev_: #ubuntuforums is the IRc chan for the forums. It has different people and a more laidback atmosphere than this channel, and sometimes I've had success getting support there, other times here
[02:24] <Transhumanist> so you can't access apt-get in any way?
[02:25] <chrootedidiot> nope
[02:25] <chrootedidiot> where the hell is rc installed to?
[02:25] <chrootedidiot> I figured itd be in /bin/ with all the other shells
[02:25] <W4sp> ev_: My Unity shouldn't be the issue, perhaps it installed some dependencies. If you refer to the task bar, do you mean the status bar at the bottom of the screen or is it the auto hide from Launcher that doesn't show up?
[02:26] <chrootedidiot> anyway, I can still log onto my computer and all that since I didnt edit any of the entries that were just bin/sh so I only edited root and my user account b/c they used bin/bash
[02:26] <rypervenche> chrootedidiot: So change it back.
[02:26] <ev_> Transhumanist: thanks for the info, i can usually use all the resources i can get
[02:26] <chrootedidiot> rypervenche: I cant
[02:26] <rypervenche> Why not?
[02:26] <chrootedidiot> how do I change my shell back if I cant access a terminal?
[02:26] <rypervenche> Boot into recovery mode.
[02:26] <rypervenche> a.k.a. single user mode.
[02:26] <chrootedidiot> rypervenche: its not going to work
[02:27] <rypervenche> Or use a live cd.
[02:27] <ev_> W4sp: right now i have no bars, in 2d it is the bar on the left that is stuck and interferes with things like web browsing
[02:27] <chrootedidiot> my user and root shells dont exist
[02:27] <Transhumanist> just a swing in the dark: can you try ctrl+alt+t
[02:27] <chrootedidiot> Transhumanist: no
[02:27] <chrootedidiot> its alt+shift+return since Im on dwm anyway
[02:27] <rypervenche> chrootedidiot: lol, yes they do. You decide that when you boot into single user mode. Just have it drop you into a shell.
[02:28] <chrootedidiot> rypervenche: alright, so then I just have to fix everything
[02:28] <chrootedidiot> brb
[02:28] <Transhumanist> live CD sounds like a good idea too
[02:28] <TheLordOfTime> are Precise's repos still frozen for updates/SRUs?
[02:30] <rypervenche> chrootedidiot: http://www.noah.org/wiki/Single_User_Mode
[02:30] <spartan2276> How can I fix my Libre Office? It broke after an update early today.
[02:31] <spartan2276> it says version 3.6, after I rebooted my PC it will no longer launch
[02:33] <Rallias> Is there any way to get my /var/log/dmesg to persist thru reboot?
[02:34] <Rallias> and (potentially) forceful shutdowns
[02:34] <Elesa> Help..
[02:34] <Rallias> elesa ask the question, not to ask to ask
[02:34] <Elesa> Can someone help me with a login problem? When I (well, it's a friend) login into the main account, a black screen appears and some white letters appear as well, then it automatically logs out.
[02:35] <Rallias> Elesa, small or big?
[02:35] <Transhumanist> spartan: I'm an Ubuntu noob myself, so I'm not 100% familiar with the package management system, but would uninstalling then reinstalling help? Not sure if preferences would be preserved.
[02:35] <SuperNoeMan> who can tell me the name of the package that I need to install in order to be able to use the "startup applications" app that is available in gnome preferences?
[02:35] <Elesa> Small or big what? letters?
[02:35] <Rallias> Yeah
[02:36] <Elesa> BRB.
[02:36] <Transhumanist> Do you know what a terminal screen looks like Elesa?
[02:36] <trism> SuperNoeMan: it is in gnome-session-bin
[02:36] <Elesa> Yeah.
[02:36] <Transhumanist> so it's not a terminal screen?
[02:36] <Elesa> We did sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in Ctrl + Alt + F1
[02:36] <Rallias> Elesa did you reboot?
[02:36] <Elesa> Uhm, I'm not sure, my friend needs help but she doesn't know how to speak english.
[02:36] <Transhumanist> do the letters have any mewaning or are they garble?
[02:37] <Elesa> Yeah, she tried logging on and she couldn't. She also got some message at boot talking about some /dev/mapper/cry and if she wanted to fix it right now or fix it manually.
[02:37] <Elesa> We aren't sure, they appear too fast.
[02:38] <Rallias> Elesa what language does your friend speak?
[02:38] <Elesa> Spanish.
[02:38] <Rallias> Elesa refer them to the #ubuntu-es channel
[02:38] <Elesa> But she's a newbie, so I'm trying to help  her. xD
[02:38] <Elesa> Okay. Thanks guys!
[02:38] <Rallias> It sounds like an xorg problem to me.
[02:38] <Elesa> Any idea though?
[02:39] <Elesa> She can log in the Guest account.
[02:39] <Elesa> That's where she's talking to me right now.
[02:39] <Rallias> so her .xincgc or .xauthority
[02:39] <Rallias> er
[02:39] <Rallias> not .xincgc... .xinitrc
[02:39] <SuperNoeMan> how do I add startup applications to lubuntu? or lxde? and I don't want to use the stupid "add this file here", I want what gnome-sesion-bin offers...
[02:39] <Elesa> I see. D:
[02:40] <Elesa> It's an almost fresh install. We installed.. Two days ago? In a external USB hard drive, but I doubt that has anything to do with her issue.
[02:40] <Rallias> SuperNoeMan, Try adding it to the ~/.config/openbox/autostart file
[02:40] <Elesa> For extra info, she has the Nvidia drivers and Bumblebee because her laptop has 2 graphics cards.
[02:40] <Rallias> with an &, always with an &
[02:41] <SuperNoeMan> Rallias: no, that's not what I want.
[02:41] <Jeremy3D> how do i give a folder full read/write permissions?
[02:41] <SuperNoeMan> Rallias: I found that I could run gnome-session-properties
[02:41] <Rallias> Jeremy3D, chmod 0777 folder_name
[02:41] <SuperNoeMan> and it allows me to add startup applications
[02:41] <SuperNoeMan> I only just solved it
[02:41] <Jeremy3D> (i'm running wine to open some dll's thru lmms and having trouble loading the plugins_
[02:41] <SuperNoeMan> but thanks
[02:42] <Elesa> Umm.. Rallias, what do you suggest?
[02:42] <Elesa> I'd rather get help here. Seems much faster.
[02:43] <Rallias> Elesa go to ctrl-alt-f1 and use scrot
[02:43] <Rallias> and send her a pic, ask if that's what it looked like
[02:44] <Elesa> Oh, yeah, we already did that. We tried reconfiguring lightdm, we upgraded the outdated packages..
[02:44] <Rallias> Does she have an external storage appliance?
[02:44] <Elesa> We even installed gnome-panel (it's Ubuntu 12.04) to check if it was an issue with Unity.
[02:45] <Elesa> Well.. She has a Live DVD? Her Ubuntu is installed in a USB Hard Drive because her Windows is dead but she can't format it right now.
[02:45] <Elesa> And a MP4 player too.
[02:45] <Rallias> I'd suggest doing a backup and reinstall
[02:45] <Jeremy3D> i think the chmod0777 worked but didnt seem to fix the problem
[02:45] <Rallias> unless you can find an alternate solution
[02:46] <Elesa> Ugh.. Does it really have to be that way? And I wonder what caused this?
[02:46] <Elesa> How can a fresh install get broken so.. easily?
[02:47] <n2diy> Can I share /home between two Xubuntu installations?
[02:47] <Rallias> Elesa, There's probably another solution, I don't know it.
[02:47] <Elesa> I see..
[02:47] <Elesa> Well, thank you!
[02:50] <wilee-nilee> n2diy, yes
[02:54] <n2diy> wilee-nilee, ok, I guess I have to tell the install is on the /home partition of the first install?
[02:55] <rhett> does anyone know the best way to get music onto my iphone?
[02:55] <wilee-nilee> n2diy, I'm not sure to be honest I never use separate homes or shared homes, I just know it is not a big deal.
[02:56] <Elesa> rhett: You can use gtkPod. Or Rhytmbox. Or Banshee.
[02:56] <Nautilus> i've mounted a partition but besides cd'ing to /mnt/sdb2 I can't 'see' it anywhere, for example in the file browser.  I do see other partitions there though
[02:56] <rhett> Elesa, I just tried banshee, and it took forever, and wiped my phone's music, and put nothing on it
[02:57] <n2diy> wilee-nilee, ok, I'm starting the install now, so I'll ask again when I get there.
[02:57] <Elesa> rhett: Ugh.. Banshee did that to me once. But gtkPod worked flawlessly for me.
[02:57] <jrib> Nautilus: doesn't the file browser show you /mnt/sdb2?  What about after pressing "reload"?
[02:58] <Nautilus> jrib no, can't see it. just tried refresh
[02:58] <jrib> Nautilus: what does it show in /mnt?
[02:58] <rexis> if i want to start with web development where shoudl i start?
[02:58] <Nautilus> jrib: sda1 and my new sdb2
[02:59] <jrib> Nautilus: so now you /can/ see it?
[02:59] <Nautilus> i did an ls in the CLI
[02:59] <jrib> Nautilus: what does nautilus show in /mnt?
[02:59] <Nautilus> ahhhyea it shows them both in /mnt.  I didnt even know where to look ;)
[03:00] <Nautilus> jrib: I was expecting to see it under "Places" in the file manager
[03:02] <CellTech> How do I get that BackTrack or whatever to stop my flash from suckin?
[03:03] <jrib> CellTech: you're using backtrack linux?
[03:03] <CellTech> No... Is it a distro?
[03:03] <jrib> CellTech: what "BackTrack" are you referring to in your question?
[03:04] <CellTech> I came in the other day asking if other peoples flash is crashing, and having issues. and someone told me to install backtrack, or something to that
[03:04] <jrib> CellTech: backtrack is the name of a distro based on ubuntu...
[03:04] <rexis> what should i use to write html
[03:05] <CellTech> Oh ok... So how then can I fix my flash from crashing and skipping
[03:05] <Nautilus> rexis: I use gedit but your questions are larger
[03:05] <Elesa> Rallias, are you still there? D:
[03:05] <Rallias> yeah
[03:05] <rexis> Nautilus: ty
[03:06] <Elesa> Err.. Her home folder.. doesn't exist anymore. ._.
[03:07] <n2diy> when does support for 10.04 end?
[03:07] <Rallias> Elesa cp /etc/skel /home/username -R
[03:07] <Rallias> n2diy 18 months for desktop, 2 years after that for servers.
[03:08] <jrib> !lts | Rallias, n2diy
[03:08] <Elesa> Will that restore her home folder?
[03:08] <Rallias> Elesa not the documents in it.
[03:08] <jrib> n2diy: (10.04 is LTS)
[03:08] <Elesa> ...How did that happen? Thanks.
[03:08] <Rallias> jrib sorry, my math was off.
[03:09] <Elesa> Why was her home folder deleted? AND her contents?
[03:09] <Rallias> n2diy, for desktop, support expires april 2013
[03:09] <n2diy> jrib, yes I know, thanks.
[03:09] <Rallias> Elesa I have no clue.
[03:09] <Rallias> for servers, april 2015
[03:09] <Rallias> Here's my question...
[03:10] <Nautilus> whoa. put a file in a folder on sda1 and it shows up on sdb2?   Something is crossed up
[03:10] <Rallias> I've got a desktoppy build installed from a server disk... does that survive 3 years or 5?
[03:10] <ryan_> Hey, how do I get the classic ubuntu desktop or the old Netbook desktop environment?

[03:11] <ryan_> I really want gnome back.
[03:13] <Ryan_Burchett> Could Somebody please help me to atleast just get Gnome back on ubuntu??
[03:13] <Ryan_Burchett> How do I get Gnome? D: What is the terminal Command? Sudo apt-get "???????????"
[03:14] <Rallias> Ryan_Burchett, 10.04 ?
[03:14] <Ryan_Burchett> 12.04
[03:14] <Rallias> No
[03:14] <Rallias> I'm saying try 10.04
[03:14] <Rallias> I'm not sure there is gnome-classic in 12.04
[03:14] <xangua> Ryan_Burchett: ubuntu already uses gnome, are you refering to gnome shell¿
[03:15] <Ryan_Burchett> No, Ubuntu 12.04 uses Unity. (Ubuntu Environment) I am trying to get the Classic Ubuntu Gnome Environment.
[03:15] <Ryan_Burchett> I've got Gnome/ Openbox but it won't load anything...
[03:16] <rexis> installing from synaptec a package for bluefish says its needed for "architecture independent data" whats that mean? do i need this add on?
[03:16] <Rallias> Ryan_Burchett, try apt-cache search gnome classic
[03:16] <Ryan_Burchett> sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
[03:16] <Ryan_Burchett> God it XD
[03:16] <Rallias> no

[03:16] <Rallias> that's a gnome-3 session.
[03:16] <rexis> sorry nevermind it was automarked with bluefish
[03:16] <Ryan_Burchett> Bluefish? Xd
[03:17] <rexis> web design app
[03:17] <Ryan_Burchett> Oh okay XD
[03:19] <Ryan_Burchett> I used apt-cache search gnome classic to find the environment, there was nothing at all XDD
[03:19] <Ryan_Burchett> Thanks though!
[03:21] <Elesa> Uhm..
[03:21] <Elesa> Err..
[03:21] <Ryan_Burchett> Does anybody know what language Terminal is in?
[03:21] <Elesa> sudo apt-get install gnome-panel?

[03:31] <howardgrigg> cfhowlett, thanks - I'm just having issues getting transmissions watch folder working
[03:34] <Nautilus> this is so... confusing.  I boot as sda1 and have a clonezilla copy in sdb2.  I mount sdb2, open the file browser and nav to /mnt/sdb2/home/name/Desktop, and it shows me a newly created file on the Desktop in sda1.  Whaaaa?
[03:34] <Ptit-Yan> Je déco d'ici, désolé tout le monde. Bonne nuit !!
[03:35] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: Having two filesystems with the same UUID can lead to unexpected results.
[03:36] <cfhowlett> !fr|Ptit-Yan
[03:36] <Nautilus> ohhhhhhhh. how do I fix that
[03:36] <cfhowlett> Jordan_U: complete collapse of space time continuum AND crashed filesystem
[03:37] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: First, please pastebin the output of "cat /proc/mounts && sudo blkid"
[03:37] <Nautilus> ow, that never occurred to me.  Still, what could I do?  Basically I'm trying to make and confirm a backup of sda1 before I wipe it
[03:37] <Nautilus> ok
[03:38] <Colt> Can anybody think of a way to install Ubuntu overtop windows ME? I have tried using a live USB and CD but cannot get the bios to load from them, and I have tried Wubi but it wont start under the OS
[03:39] <Nautilus> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ca/2196962
[03:39] <cfhowlett> Colt: what are your hardware specifications
[03:39] <jrib> Colt: either you did not configure your bios to boot from the cd or you have a bad burn (checksum your cd)
[03:40] <cfhowlett> Colt: was jrib said.  bad iso downloads are common so checksum is a must.
[03:40] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: And "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/"?
[03:41] <Colt> It is an old emachine that has Intel celeron,  15gB and 128kb cache, 64mbsyncdram. I am assuming none of that was updated along the way..I have not had a chance to really get into this machine.
[03:41] <Nautilus> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ca/2196963
[03:42] <Nautilus> Jordan_U: I see that sdb2 doesnt show
[03:42] <cfhowlett> Colt: try a different distro.  xubuntu and lubuntu are designed for low spec machines.
[03:43] <Guest71437> test
[03:43] <Colt> alright thanks
[03:43] <Vert> How can I remote into an Ubuntu pc accross the net, I'm helping a faimly member with duel booting issues
[03:43] <cfhowlett> Colt: fyi, xubuntu (ubuntu on xfce) is arguably the more mature of the 2 and is the platform for ubuntustudio.
[03:44] <cfhowlett> Vert: think ssh, but I've never done.  I tried to desktop share via vinagre but it requires that both machines be on the same network??
[03:44] <rawfodog> So I have about 15 partitions. How the heck do I prevent unity from making shortcuts to them on the left bar ?
[03:44] <rawfodog> It gets in the way
[03:44] <blendedbychris> SuperNoeMan: So I figured how how to copy into my private PPA. Any idea how to download those source files maybe and make modifications to resubmit and recompile? https://launchpad.net/~blendedbyus/+archive/master/+packages
[03:45] <rawfodog> And it looks really stupid
[03:45] <somsip> Vert: I'd suggest something like TeamViewer as an easy solution
[03:45] <Guest71437> firestarter a good firewall to use?
[03:46] <Nautilus> TeamViewer(.com) is pretty cool
[03:47] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: /dev/sda3 is what is currently mounted as your root filesystem.
[03:47] <xangua> !info myunity
[03:47] <xangua> you can do it with Myunity rawfodog, default is to show mounted, and there is also to show Always and Never
[03:47] <rawfodog> Thanks xangua
[03:48] <Nautilus> Jordan_U: yep, 3rd on the drive, the first two are NTFS partitions.  It's mounted as sda1 though.  Anyways, the question now is that that partition and my clonezilla copy on sdb2 have the same UUID.
[03:50] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: It is not "mounted as sda1". You need to change the UUID of one of the copies. I would recommend changing the UUID of the copy, and keeping the original the same.
[03:51] <Nautilus> ok i dont fully understand mounting and yea I'd like to change the UUID of the copy.  Unless ya think it's already fubar
[03:52] <Nautilus> how would I change UUID?
[03:52] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: You can use tune2fs to change the UUID, but unmount it first. After changing the UUID you will need to re-install grub *and* run update-grub and update the /etc/fstab.
[03:52] <Nautilus> yikes
[03:52] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: I'm typing from my phone, so expect slow responses :)
[03:53] <Nautilus> why would I need to do those things?  sdb2 isnt referenced in grub at all
[03:53] <Nautilus> Jordan_U: oh, owch!  dont worry if it's too much trouble.
[03:54] <Nautilus> i think my current (10.04) install is GRUB1, it may have been an upgrade from 8.04.  Dang, all I want to do is upgrade. so many days
[03:55] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: OK. Please boot from a LiveCD to make things simpler.
[03:56] <zykotick9> Nautilus: fyi, if you had pre-lucid, and upgraded to lucid it wouldn't automatically update grub1 to grub2... so it's possible you are running grub1 (aka grub-legacy)
[03:56] <Nautilus> the grub file is something like menu.lst
[03:56] <zykotick9> Nautilus: menu.lst is grub1
[03:57] <Nautilus> i looked at editing grub2, man what a pain
[03:57] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: Now would be a good time to upgrade to grub2 then :)
[03:57] <zykotick9> Nautilus: very retro ;)
[03:57]  * zykotick9 has totally forgotten grub-legacy, but remember the "radical" transition to grub2 ;)
[03:58] <Nautilus> all i wanna do is make a backup, confirm i, and scratch install 12.04 on sda3
[03:58] <Nautilus> it*
[03:58] <Nautilus> and import all my stuff like apache & mysql.
[03:58] <zykotick9> Nautilus: honest you should forget sdX# and move to UUIDs or Labels
[03:58]  * zykotick9 thinks labels is WAY easier
[03:58] <Nautilus> huh. wild
[03:59] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: Can youboot with just the backup drive plugged in?
[03:59] <Nautilus> i dont think that (second) drive has a boot system
[04:00] <Nautilus> in Windows Iplug in a drive, look for the new drive letter. type drive letter.
[04:00] <Nautilus> (assuming it has a valid partition)
[04:00] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: If the backup doesn't need to be bootable then you can just change the UUID and not worry about updating grub or the fstab.
[04:01] <Nautilus> Jordan_U: it does not need to be bootable, correct
[04:01] <BigThetan> Hi everyone!
[04:02] <BigThetan> Can someone help me
[04:02] <Nautilus> Jordan_U: I see that tune2fs has a -U option... can I just manually randomize the last char of that?
[04:02] <BigThetan> I am trying trying to create a hardware raid with an Adaptec 1220sa card using ubunt server
[04:03] <BigThetan> the card says it only supports Suse and Redhat
[04:03] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: Boot a LiveCD, run "sudo tune2fs /dev/sdXY -U random".
[04:03] <Nautilus> gotcha!
[04:04] <cfhowlett> !ask|BigThetan:
[04:05] <Nautilus> Jordan_U: perhaps I should reboot to clonezilla PC to redo the backup, then boot to live and change UUID before I even boot normal again
[04:06] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: I don't see any need for that.
[04:06] <Nautilus> Jordan_U: just wondering if the filesystem got fubared, but after I change UUID I should be able to get a better look
[04:06] <Nautilus> thanks TONS!
[04:07] <Nautilus> no wonder stuff was so crossed up
[04:08] <Jordan_U> Nautilus: No, were it btrfs then the duplicate UUIDs might have caused more problems, but as it is I don't see how any FS corruption would have occured.
[04:10] <Nautilus> Jordan_U: cool :)
[04:12] <zykotick9> Jordan_U: thanks.  you just provided me further reasons, why i want nothing to do with btrfs
[04:15] <Jordan_U> zykotick9: I don't know that it would have been a problem. The root issue is that a btrfs filesystem can be composed of multiple drives/ partitions so UUIDs are really important in assembling in that case, you have the same sort of problem with an RAID.
[04:17] <zykotick9> Jordan_U: RAID another server technology i don't perscribe to on desktops.  simpilcity and stability.  and an os on ssd is blazing fast and simple ;)

[05:18] <cfhowlett> subb1: greetings?
[05:18] <cfhowlett> subb1: greetings!
[05:18] <theadmin> brous_000: Hm, alright, please do "sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-jre" and pastebin the result.
[05:19] <Jordan_U> cfhowlett: I don't know. I wouldn't expect that would be needed, but at the same time it probably wouldn't hurt anything either.
[05:19] <subb1> on ubuntu 11.10, when trying to install from gui packet manager, I'm being asked for 'root' passwd instead of the sudo user's password. please help.
[05:19] <subb1> cfhowlett: greetings to you too :)
[05:20] <cfhowlett> subb1: what's your ubuntu issue today?
[05:20] <theadmin> cfhowlett: (s)he asked already.
[05:21] <cfhowlett> theadmin: thx.  missed it.  is there a way to search the stream in xchat?
[05:21] <theadmin> subb1: Try using your user's password, maybe it's just bad wording of the prompt
[05:21] <Jordan_U> subb1: What happens if you run "gksu --sudo-mode whoami" in a terminal?
[05:21] <theadmin> cfhowlett: I dunno about xchat. But try "/lastlog QUERY_STRING", that works in irssi at least
[05:21] <theadmin> cfhowlett: Or maybe hit Ctrl-F
[05:22] <subb1> Jordan_U, root
[05:22] <brous_000> http://pastebin.com/ueDpduby
[05:22] <Jordan_U> subb1: And it asked for your user's password?
[05:23] <subb1> Jordan_U, yes my user's password.
[05:23] <cfhowlett> theadmin: Thank you!  last log found it.   Try just "gksu whoami" and confirm that that asks for your root password.
[05:23] <Calinou> (the ops are less nice there)
[05:24] <MonkeyDust> brous_000  do as the error msg suggests, type sudo apt-get autoremove
[05:24] <cfhowlett> Calinou: if sarcasm, misplaced.  I expressed gratitude for somone who answered my question and reduced my ignorance.  What's your beef?
[05:24] <subb1> Jordan_U, that again prompted for paswd. it accepted my user's pasword. and displays as 'root'
[05:25] <brous_000> MonkeyDust http://pastebin.com/LdE7Ue1L
[05:25] <brous_000> kill apt-get in system moniter?
[05:25] <Calinou> subb1, "root" = the "sudo" password ;)
[05:25] <MonkeyDust> brous_000  it's with sudo
[05:26] <brous_000> MonkeyDust i'm used to sudo bash and i always forget it
[05:27] <MonkeyDust> brous_000  you should read error messages, it says 'are you root?'
[05:27] <brous_000> MonkeyDust sorta new to this whole Ubuntu thing, so still getting used to it. thanks
[05:32] <brous_000> my other question was never answered. my wireless button flashes from blue (connected) to orange (disconnected). but im never disconnected to the internet. any advice on what causes this and how to fix it if possible
[05:32] <brous_000> disonnected from*

[05:34] <luftikuss> 'man sftp' shows in the last row "August 21, 2012". Isn't that a bug?
[05:35] <Jordan_U> subb1: Try "pkexec whoami".
[05:36] <subb1> Jordan_U, asking for root passwd
[05:36] <subb1> now
[05:37] <Jordan_U> subb1: OK, so something is wrong with PolicyKit.
[05:37] <subb1> Jordan_U, any hint on how to solve? I'm not sure of it. :(
[05:40] <MonkeyDust> luftikuss  depends on the timezone, i guess
[05:40] <luftikuss> MonkeyDust: You are mistaken.
[05:43] <Jordan_U> subb1: No, sorry :(
[05:44] <Jordan_U> subb1: What is the output of "groups"?
[05:45] <resting> LANG=en_DE.UTF-8 ……..how do add ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8 to the locale file? comma separated?
[05:46] <kieppie> anyone here familiar with PXE?
[05:46] <brous_000> i keep trying to uninstall java7, but it wants to uninstall java6

[05:51] <kieppie>  Jordan_U: true - based in NZ, so time-difference makes comms a hit & miss prospect
[05:51] <kieppie> got an instance of erpxe going in a VM, but trying to debug why I'm unable to get the selection going as per the documented method. should work but I'm missing something
[05:52] <luftikuss> resting: What »locale« file do you refer to? On my ubuntu computer there are 18 different »locale« files.
[05:52] <brous_000> kieppie not to sure what you mean, fairly new to Ubuntu
[05:52] <resting> luftikuss: wow.../etc/default/locale
[05:52] <brous_000> i've also tried remove completely and tried to remove from synaptics
[05:52] <resting> its so confusing
[05:53] <uw> anybody use ghostry?
[05:53] <uw> I believe it is making my browers superrr slow
[05:53] <MonkeyDust> uw  yes
[05:54] <MonkeyDust> uw  no such issue here, but you can configure it a bit
[05:54] <uw> MonkeyDust, hello.  have you had to configure anything?
[05:54] <MonkeyDust> uw  you can choose if you want to block trackers or not
[05:54] <uw> it really takes like a minute to do a whois lookup through a web brower
[05:54] <subb1> Jordan_U, i found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1577781
[05:54] <uw> several differnt ones
[05:55] <subb1> Jordan_U, trying to figure out from there now
[05:55] <uw> MonkeyDust, oh yea ok so ive messed with that.  do you think that could be making it slower?
[05:55] <MonkeyDust> uw  i block them all, but it does not decrease speed here
[05:56] <MonkeyDust> uw  in both chromium and firefox
[05:56] <sambagirl> i wanted to reimage my drive and i wanted to preserve my login/password stuff. is there a procedure to to export your login/pw accounts that are preserved so that i can hopefully restore them to a new image?
[05:57] <uw> MonkeyDust, man it must be something else.  Im on ubuntu 10.04, firefox 13.0.1, or chrome 16.0.912.75
[05:57] <Jordan_U> subb1: What is the output of "groups"?
[05:58] <luftikuss> resting: /etc/default/locale is a simple ASCII text file. You could use a simple text editor and add another locale value in a row, comma-separated. But I do not recommend that. You probably do not know the function of this file.
[05:58] <MonkeyDust> uw  bi'm sure an upgrade to 12.04 will solve most of your technical issues
[05:58] <uw> MonkeyDust, however these webbrowsers have always been kinda slow for me.  Would you recommend a way to see how long packets get sent, replied to and such?
[05:58] <uw> maybe just etheral or whatever...
[05:58] <uw> MonkeyDust, true, i should get on that
[05:59] <resting> luftikuss: exactly, i'm not changing anything until i'm sure…any idea how to add japanese char for the filenames?

[06:15] <kaushal> when i am in office, my laptop is always connected to power source, will that degrade the battery performance>
[06:15] <trijntje> kaushal: yes
[06:16] <kaushal> trijntje: ok
[06:16] <kaushal> trijntje: so any right method?
[06:19] <trijntje> kaushal: I usually remove the battery when connected to a power source, and recharge it when its between 10 and 20% capacity
[06:20] <trijntje> http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
[06:20] <zico> Kaushal: You could also get yourself a second battery to place in the laptop when you know you will be charging for long periods. That way you don't degrade your good battery
[06:25] <pagz> YES
[06:28] <brous_000> how can i fix broken packages (i.e. java 6)
[06:29] <theadmin> brous_000: Most of the time, "sudo apt-get -f install" does the trick.
[06:29] <gogeta> zzz
[06:30] <gogeta> what trick
[06:30] <theadmin> gogeta: Fixing broken packages.
[06:30] <Elesa> How can one upgrade a single package with apt?
[06:30] <brous_000> theadmin "dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching sun-java6-jre:amd64" i'm tired of getting this message. how do i fix this?!
[06:31] <theadmin> Elesa: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install packagename
[06:31] <Elesa> Thanks, theadmin!
[06:32] <theadmin> brous_000: Sorry, I'm not sure, does "sudo apt-get -f install" not help?

[06:33] <brous_000> Stanley00 12.04
[06:34] <theadmin> brous_000: Hm. Let's go to extremes: sudo dpkg -P sun-java6-jre
[06:34] <brous_000> and it does indeed exist because when im in software center trying to download jdk 6, it says i must remove sun-java6-jre to install
[06:34] <MonkeyDust> !find java6
[06:35] <MonkeyDust> brous_000  the problem is the difference between sun jdk and open jdk
[06:35] <eFfeM_work> hi, I am still on10.04 lts and got an upgrade for postgresql-8.4 but it won't apply. tried to remove and reinstall but that also failed. log at http://pastebin.com/9FE3qh2c
[06:35] <eFfeM_work> how can I force an uninstall of a package ?
[06:35] <brous_000> theadmin: java version "1.6.0_24"OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.3) (6b24-1.11.3-1ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>)OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)"
[06:35] <brous_000> theadmin: that was from "java -version"
[06:36] <theadmin> brous_000: Umm... Hm, well, that isn't Sun Java, that's "openjdk-6-jre"
[06:36] <brous_000> all i'm trying to do is uninstall openjdk java7 jre, and properly install openjdk java6 jre
[06:38] <brous_000> theadmin: nevermind the dpkg purge worked and jdk6 is running well. and i've asked a question twice but no response at all. can someone help
[06:38] <arttulahtinen> homoo
[06:39] <theadmin> brous_000: Nobody knows => nobody helps, not sure about your blinking light :(
[06:40] <brous_000> theadmin: *sigh* okay... well if anyone ever comes across an answer, or anything let me know. this is really bothering me
[06:40] <theadmin> brous_000: Well, try posting to the Ubuntu Forums or askubuntu.com
[06:40] <brous_000> oh, and also i've disabled the auto-hide feature. but it's still active
[06:40] <brous_000> must i restart?
[06:42] <brous_000> theadmin: i have already tried that...... http://askubuntu.com/questions/178041/wireless-connectivity-on-ubuntu-12-04
[06:42] <aarcane> so my do-release-upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 crashed during the dpkg --configure -a stage, and I had to forcibly reboot the system (the error was something about a read-only filesystem).  I finished dpkg --configure -a as instructed..  but what else do I need to do ?
[06:42] <theadmin> aarcane: Probably nothing (if it all works)
[06:42] <theadmin> aarcane: configuring packages is like the last step in the install if I recall right
[06:43] <subb1> Jordan_U: no clue from there... :(

[06:55] <brous_000> how do i properly connect my laptop to a television screen via hdmi cable?
[06:55] <pilotbub> you'll need a vga cable and television
[06:55] <theadmin> brous_000: Plug it in, go to monitor settings, choose the monitor you want (the tv)
[06:56] <brous_000> theadmin: i did, but the only thing that switches to my tv is the launcher
[06:56] <theadmin> brous_000: Oh, that's... very odd
[06:57] <brous_000> theadmin: i agree.. that's why i asked. because usually i can plug it in, select the tv and everything switches over
[06:58] <brous_000> theadmin: nevermind, i had to click the "use laptop" slider to off :P
[06:58] <theadmin> brous_000: oh lol

[07:13] <mc_plectrum> Hi! How can i make my server accesible
[07:13] <Vex__> any one using ubuntu 12 lts?
[07:13] <mc_plectrum> via hostname in local network
[07:14] <Calinou> Vex__, unplug it then replug it
[07:14] <pilotbub> Vex: I just use Leopard
[07:14] <Calinou> mc_plectrum, how? using ssh?
[07:14] <mc_plectrum> the hostname is only resolved using ssh and accessing the ip on port 80 just works fine
[07:15] <Vex__> i tried unplug / replug, it's like the buttons just disappear, are there any known hardware issues / conflicts with 12.04 lts?
[07:15] <mc_plectrum> Calinou: thought i need avahi-deamon to get it to work… but it had not changed anything
[07:15] <DaDaDOSPrompt> what is the difference between the gconf editor and the dconf editor? is the latter just specific to Ubuntu and Unity?
[07:16] <Calinou> Vex__, the buttons disappear? is it a wired mouse or wireless?
[07:16] <Calinou> wireless tends to work less well with linux most of the time (from my experience); use a wired mouse
[07:17] <MonkeyDust> !details > Vex__
[07:17] <Vex__> everything is wires... i'll post my sys specs...

[07:25] <Vex__> still possible to get a 64bit, ubuntu 10 / 11?

[07:25] <theadmin> llutz_: Oh, my bad.
[07:26] <wilee-nilee> mah454, save it in templates then set that save as default in templates.
[07:26] <theadmin> Vex__: Sure, see http://releases.ubuntu.com for all currently supported releases.
[07:27] <bagro> Vex__: Try the alternate install. That solved my problem that sounds similar to yours.
[07:27] <Vex__> thanks theadmin, do u know of any freezing issues with 12.04 lts? i'm goosed
[07:27] <wilee-nilee> the default in in organize in templates mah454

[07:39] <anddam> hi, I just installed an ubuntu system from an USB drive (desktop image), when booting grub install failed (the installer tried to install grub onto the usb device itself)
[07:40] <anddam> now I'm into the installed system (rebooted with the usb key and mounted the HDD image), how can I execute the simplest grub installation?
[07:40] <anddam> I tried update-grub and hoped to do a grub-install /dev/sda
[07:40] <anddam> but I got a /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
[07:41] <anddam> is there a tool that handles simple case automatically in 12.04?
[07:41] <Stanley00> !grub | anddam
[07:42] <wilee-nilee> anddam, your booted into the install you want to have grub control correct?
[07:42] <wilee-nilee> or not
[07:44] <anddam> wilee-nilee: I booted into the installed system, not into the install image
[07:45] <wilee-nilee> anddam, syntax is strange here the usb is not a install but ISO loaded for install, and that is where your at right?
[07:45] <wilee-nilee> ISO Loaded usb
[07:47] <anddam> I'm not sure what "ISO loaded usb" mean, to explain it better: I downloaded the desktop install iso, dumped it onto an USB mass storage disk, booted this USB disk, installed onto HDD
[07:47] <wilee-nilee> In other words you are in the booted usb and want grub in the HD's mbr right?
[07:48] <anddam> grub wasn't installed correctly so at reboot with USB unplugged I got nothing, I plugged the USB key again, halted at bootloader prompt and passed root=/dev/sda1 to the boot image
[07:49] <anddam> but now that I wrote that I realize that I'm possibly into a live system
[07:49] <anddam> from USB
[07:50] <anddam> ah I see the point
[07:51] <anddam> this computer BIOS switched device when I picked the USB disk from disk device, /dev/sda is the USB disk and /dev/sdb is the actual internal HDD
[07:51] <anddam> so grub was correctly trying to install /dev/sdb
[07:51] <anddam> wilee-nilee: ok, so I'm into the live system and I'd like to have control on grub setup, is there a quick tool to do that?
[07:52] <MACscr> when i run sudo cat /dev/null > /var/spool/mail/root, it says permission denied. I have recently authenticated to root, so im not sure what the issue is
[07:52] <MACscr> is there another method for emptying the root mailbox?
[07:52] <wilee-nilee> anddam, If you are on the live cd in the usb you need to chroot to the install on the HD and here is a link that defaults to that. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#ChRoot   YOU could also just download supergrub to boot into the actual install not the usb and run the grub-install /dev/sdX X is probably "a" no partitions  http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/
[07:52] <anddam> wilee-nilee: ok, I'm familiar with *NIX, just not with ubuntu
[07:52] <anddam> I'll do the classic chroot
[07:52] <llutz_> MACscr: you cannot use sudo and redirection, use tee
[07:53] <anddam> MACscr: sudo bash -c 'cat /dev/null >/var/spool/mail/root'
[07:53] <wilee-nilee> anddam, yeah if you get chrooted in just run sudo grub-install /dev/sda   if sda is the HD, the sudo update-grub then close the chroot
[07:54] <wilee-nilee> then*
[07:54] <wilee-nilee> anddam, oops no sudo in a chroot my bad.
[07:55] <llutz_> MACscr: and btw "cat /dev/null" makes no sense, just use sudo bash -c ' >/var/spool/mail/root'
[07:56] <MACscr> anddam: thanks. Worked perfectly
[07:58] <anddam> llutz_: yes actually I thought it made little sense too, but the question was about how to perform redirection when sudo'ing
[07:58] <MACscr> now to figure out what is going on with my drobo connected to my ubuntu server. When large files are being uncompressed, the system appears to start having issues. Cant even kill the unrar process and even using the reboot command seems to hang
[08:00] <anddam> rebooting
[08:00] <MACscr> just started happening
[08:00] <llutz_> MACscr: check memory usage
[08:01] <MACscr> llutz_: yeah, mem usage does seem high at those times as well. Not sure how to solve the issue though. Has 4gb of ram and typically uses very little
[08:02] <MACscr> id throw more ram at it since its cheap these days, but thats for ddr3 and this is an older ddr2 system
[08:02] <Calinou> free RAM is wasted RAM
[08:04] <rexis> how do you take of su command
[08:04] <rexis> off*
[08:05] <auronandace> rexis: what do you mean?
[08:06] <rexis> auronandace: i type 'su' to get root, now how do i go back to non root in same terminal
[08:06] <auronandace> rexis: exit
[08:06] <MACscr> one problem with resource usage when it comes to the connected drobo is that its an ntfs fs. Something im going to move away from as soon as i get the new disks at the end of the week
[08:06] <rexis> auronandace: ty
[08:07] <MACscr> going to take the drobo out of the scenario and just throw the 4 x 2tb drives in the tower case
[08:08] <llutz_> rexis: why did you enable root-account if you dont even know some basics?
[08:08] <rexis> llutz_: just because i dont know one command dosn't mean i dont know other things
[08:08] <auronandace> rexis: are you aware of sudo?
[08:09] <llutz_> rexis: still:why did you enable root-account?
[08:09] <anddam> worked
[08:09] <rexis> auronandace: yea
[08:09] <auronandace> rexis: that is what you are meant to be using
[08:09] <auronandace> rexis: very rarely is a root terminal ever needed
[08:10] <rexis> auronandace: i know, i just seen on a website someone wrote su then a command and i was interested
[08:10] <rexis> llutz_: i did it to write a aptana.desktop file
[08:10] <llutz_> odd reason, well wait until you see a website fiddling with some rm-commands :)
[08:11] <auronandace> rexis: you already have permission to write to the desktop, why do it as root?
[08:11] <rexis> auronandace: it wouldn't write it for me, i asked in a different channel but no one said anything. i was in /usr/bin...perhaps that was the reason?
[08:12] <JustSomeGuy> hi i have a problem with my ltsp setup im using ubuntu 12.04. when i shutdown or reboot the system i get a lot of squashfs errors (i mount the root with nbd over the network) and the computer just hangs up (i have to hard reset the computer) any advice?
[08:12] <auronandace> rexis: i thought you said you knew what you were doing?
[08:12] <llutz_> rexis: sudo nano /usr/path/whatever/file.desktop         still no need for a root-account
[08:13] <rexis> when i did /usr/bin vim aptana.desktop i could open it when i did :wq it said permission denied to write
[08:13] <ourea> Hi guys - having a hard time trying to get directory names and so on colored when I hit ls in a terminal. Any idea?
[08:13] <rexis> im in linux mint right now
[08:14] <llutz_> rexis: query the bot for mint, root, sudo
[08:14] <auronandace> rexis: obviously, you only have write permission in your home folder
[08:14] <rexis> read...yea i think so. i am still learning permissions, they piss me off
[08:14] <auronandace> rexis: mint isn't supported in this channel either
[08:15] <auronandace> rexis: they annoy you because you don't understand them
[08:16] <thufir_> What value do I set for JAVA_HOME?  I know which Java I'm using and so forth, just don't know what value to put there.  https://gist.github.com/3401713
[08:16] <rexis> yea have looked but i havn't found a tutorial or information i found usefull yet, plus its pretty easy to type su or sudo
[08:16] <auronandace> !permissions | rexis
[08:18] <rexis> thanks guys
[08:20] <derien> good morning
[08:20] <f_Droopy> o/
[08:21] <derien> i have a weird problem here. i have just installed ubuntu 12.04 and i realised that totem cant play mp4 files
[08:21] <thufir_> derien:  gnome mplayer
[08:21] <derien> also ubuntu 12.04 consumes too much ram if we compare it to ubuntu 11.04(which is the best according to me)
[08:21] <thufir_> although, probably, totem works fine, you're maybe just missing codecs?
[08:22] <derien> i have downloaded restricted extras
[08:22] <thufir_> it's not 12.04 versu 11.04 that's the problem, it's almost certainly the configuration.
[08:22] <derien> and also i couldnot see amsn on repos
[08:22] <derien> thufir_, no it was ok in 1104
[08:22] <derien> i cant play on 1204
[08:22] <thufir_> how much ram do you have?  ddr or dd2 or ddr3?
[08:22] <derien> 2 ddr3
[08:23] <derien> also firefox consumes too much
[08:23] <thufir_> I have 2gb of ddr, 11.10 is the same as 12.04 for me.  it's your DE or osmehting.
[08:23] <kieppie> just installed a fresh 12.04. why on earth are samba "personal file sharing" "This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system", despite the fact that Samba is enabled in tasksel?
[08:23] <derien> thufir_, i use unity
[08:23] <derien> i didnot change any configuration
[08:23] <auronandace> derien: you likely need gstreamer-plugins-bsd and ugly
[08:23] <derien> are there in repos?
[08:24] <derien> and i have a problem with installing amsn
[08:24] <auronandace> derien: indeed
[08:24] <derien> i couldnot install from source code
[08:24] <auronandace> derien: why not use empathy or pidgin?
[08:24] <derien> adons?
[08:24] <derien> i know empathy
[08:24] <derien> it is not so good
[08:25] <derien> well ubuntu is ok but
[08:25] <derien> they restrict us to change the os
[08:25] <derien> i dont see any gnometweak tool i just installed them
[08:26] <auronandace> derien: if you are using unity there is myunity in the repos
[08:26] <derien> yeah i installed it
[08:26] <derien> it is so good
[08:26] <derien> but at least ic could be in cd
[08:27] <wilee-nilee> derien, in the menu it is advanced settings
[08:27] <derien> i think a single cd wont enough for ubuntu
[08:27] <derien> i wonder wht do you think about firefox
[08:27] <derien> and epiphany
[08:28] <derien> which one is good fast
[08:28] <derien> any ideas?
[08:28] <llutz_> no polls here please derien
[08:28] <derien> ah sorry
[08:28] <auronandace> derien: use whichever browser you prefer, firefox gets regularly updated
[08:28] <derien> yeah
[08:29] <derien> and when a new version is released
[08:29] <derien> old firefox becomes heavier and when you update it it become ok( i mean ram)
[08:29] <derien> sorry my bad english
[08:29] <MonkeyDust> derien  or try xine
[08:30] <derien> vlc is closes unexpectedly
[08:30] <cairne> Is lubuntu officially supported by canonical?
[08:30] <derien> also some apps on 1204 give warnings this software is closedd unexpectedly
[08:30] <thufir_> What value do I set for JAVA_HOME?  I know which Java I'm using and so forth, just don't know what value to put there.  https://gist.github.com/3401713
[08:30] <MonkeyDust> derien  don't hit too often, it's getting a headache
[08:31] <auronandace> cairne: yes
[08:31] <MonkeyDust> derien  don't hit enter too often, it's getting a headache
[08:31] <cairne> Is it true unity 2d is no longer available?
[08:31] <MonkeyDust> cairne  as of 12.10 idd
[08:31] <derien> MonkeyDust, oky
[08:32] <cairne> MonkeyDust: so if I'm using 12.04 I can use unity 2d. I have grown quite attached to unity but my laptop I'd way to weak for that
[08:33] <MonkeyDust> cairne  the code has been modified in such way, that you won't notice the difference
[08:33] <cairne> Is*
[08:33] <llutz_> thufir_: usually to the dir containing "bin/java"
[08:34] <MonkeyDust> cairne  http://www.muktware.com/4161/unity-2d-removed-quantal
[08:34] <thufir_> llutz_:  I have no such directory as/bin/java  .  what else could it be, pls?
[08:34] <llutz_> ls -l /etc/alternatives/java   thufir_
[08:35] <llutz_> thufir_: is a link to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java here, so $JAVA_HOME would be  "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/jre/"
[08:35] <cairne> MonkeyDust my laptop has a Intel celeron m 1.5ghz with 512 of ram I believe should I just stick with lubuntu? Or could Ubuntu work?
[08:36] <MonkeyDust> cairne  try lubuntu
[08:36] <ix_> cairne: yeah, lubuntu is good for that, you can also try crunchbang
[08:36] <cairne> MonkeyDust that's what I figure. Been using lxde spin of fedora 17 but I like Ubuntu better
[08:37] <cairne> Thank you all
[08:37] <whatsyourname> Which IRC server is the most tech-oriented?
[08:38] <cairne> Freenode I'd think
[08:38] <whatsyourname> Freenode isn't the only one, is it?
[08:38] <llutz_> !ot > whatsyourname how is that ubuntu-related?
[08:38] <auronandace> whatsyourname: we only do ubuntu support here, ask in #freenode
[08:38] <whatsyourname> alright
[08:38] <kieppie> OH FFS!
[08:39] <auronandace> !language | kieppie
[08:40] <kieppie> auronandace: sory, but this is now pure frustration. I've now set up a number of *fresh* 12.04 desktops from mini ISO, and consistently there are little crashes all aver the place. I'm now prepping a new box to a potential recruit, and wondering they they won't be better of with the W7 who's licence is slapped on the side
[08:42] <ix_> kieppie: ubuntu is now renowned for stability, although the LTS's are pretty good
[08:42] <ix_> not renowned
[08:42] <ix_> LOL
[08:44] <kieppie> ix_: my setup has been pretty good, but this last release is absolutely *appaling*. up to now I've been sunning the last LTS - 10.04 - *for* stability & support, but some stuff stopped updating. /me wondering if I should move to "vanilla" debian until the next LTS in 2 years
[08:44] <MACscr> what is this "Call Trace" that is showing up in my syslog: http://pastie.org/private/q5wbgukvtv66ftmw0smww
[08:45] <ix_> kieppie: yeah, debian and centos are stable
[08:46] <auronandace> kieppie: 12.04 is the first lts with unity, might be better to wait till the next one yeah
[08:47] <kieppie> ix_: this is *infuriating*. I get that on a fresh release there could be a few minor teething issues like drivers & whatnot, but we're now well into 12.04.1 & I'm getting this [EXPLETIVE] on a brand-spanking new, gutsy machine
[08:47] <ix_> yeah, I don't like unity either, or gnome 3 for that matter
[08:47] <smookey> Hey guys, i have downloaded a .deb package and modified the postinst file, now when i repack it, i get that the deb files i corrupted or has missing permissions. You guys have any idea why? :)
[08:47] <cairne> Really I love unity once you get use to it. Its very efficient
[08:47] <smookey> i have tried to remake the md5 by the way, and also tried to remove it completely
[08:48] <auronandace> unity isn't as bad as i thought it would be, but it certainly could be more stable (compiz is likely to blame for that)
[08:48] <kieppie> auronandace: I've tried it with the new Gnome shell, and although it's actually better, is simply not good enough. This is supposed to be an LTS, and upgrading to the next minor release as a way to fix what broken now is a terrible cop-out, I'm sorry to say
[08:48] <morphles> wtf is accounts daemon? and why it is needed? will ubuntu work with it disabled/removed?
[08:48] <ix_> smookey: I think when you are trying to make modifications, you should download the source code and edit that and compile or make a .deb file
[08:49] <ix_> kieppie: you could just use kubuntu
[08:49] <ix_> it should be more stable
[08:50] <smookey> But there are several guides explaining how to do it and they work fine (well...) up until i try to run the .deb file again. Its just a "ar" file isnt it? And im only changing in ascii files, nothing in binarys so that sounds to me like it should work
[08:50] <kieppie> oooooh - I've moved off KDE long ago because it was a GUI too far, but considering the dog's breakfast that is Unity, that's maybe not a terrible idea
[08:51] <kieppie> provided the issues are only DE/DM & not more serious underlying stuff
[08:51] <monkey_> hi guys
[08:51] <monkey_> Can I get here some help on grub problem ?
[08:51] <ix_> monkey_: what grub problem?
[08:51] <cairne> What's up?
[08:52] <bunjee> what program works best with lightscribe?
[08:52] <hellyeah> hey
[08:52] <hellyeah> in ubuntu 12.04 compiz has lots of bugs
[08:53] <Sling> hellyeah: is that a question?
[08:53] <cairne> What bugs do you have in compuz
[08:53] <cairne> Compiz
[08:53] <hellyeah> no it just statement
[08:54] <hellyeah> cairne:  most of plugins gave an error cause crash of compiz
[08:54] <hellyeah> i guess nowadays has lack of maintenance team or support team lac of management etc.
[08:54] <bunjee> what program works best with lightscribe?
[08:55] <cairne> I have very little issues with composition other then when spinning cube that I get a flash of last screen but other then that its smooth
[08:55] <hellyeah> my hdd died so i dont have a chance to check
[08:55] <cairne> Compiz sorry stupid android auto fix
[08:56] <hellyeah> but as far as i remember when you open desktop cube
[08:56] <monkey_> ix_: I have resized and moved some partitions on my hdd and now I cannot boot(i don't get grub), i have "fixed it" with boot-repair to place grub somewhere else on harddrive and now I am able to boot only windows ( I have dual boot win 7 and ubuntu) but after few trials I have successfully installed grub on usb stick and i can boot to ubuntu with my usB :) (kinda stupid ;) ) and now since I am ubuntu I have tried to reinstall grub to my /dev/sda with grub-ins
[08:56] <monkey_> there is one of my boot-repair logs http://paste.ubuntu.com/1155024/
[08:56] <hellyeah> it causes compiz crash
[08:56] <fenbekus> hi
[08:57] <cairne> What do you mean open the cube?
[08:59] <hellyeah> sorry
[08:59] <hellyeah> when i enabled desktop cube for example
[08:59] <hellyeah> it caused crash on compiz
[08:59] <cairne> I mean I can rotate it about its axis, flatten it out.
[09:00] <cairne> There was a good guide for setting it up on omgubuntu I believe
[09:00] <hellyeah> i dont know but i just said honestly i faced with compiz crash so many times
[09:01] <hellyeah> and unity sucks
[09:01] <hellyeah> :S
[09:01] <wilee-nilee> monkey_, from the ubuntu install run sudo grub-install /dev/sda then sudo update grub
[09:02] <MonkeyDust> hellyeah  you're free to not use unity
[09:02] <__sjh> Hi all, is there a way to discover all changes made to a system since install? e.g. packages installed / config files changed?
[09:02] <hellyeah> what is the difference between chroot and sudo
[09:02] <kieppie> hellyeah: a lot
[09:02] <wilee-nilee> monkey_, 2nd command is sudo update-grub I left out the -
[09:02] <hellyeah> MonkeyDust:  if i remove ubuntu-unity probably system will mess up
[09:03] <kieppie> chroot is a "jail", sudo runs a command with admin rights
[09:03] <cairne> _Sjh: you can check through software center
[09:03] <monkey_> wilee-nilee: yeah but when I try to do this I get this error : /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Your embedding area is unusually small.  core.img won't fit in it..
[09:03] <hellyeah> why chroot is a jail?
[09:03] <__sjh> cairne, not really... that won't tell me config changes, its a headless server box anyway
[09:04] <anthony__> only connected to wireless `vnstat` returns sensible results for wlan0.  vnstat -l doesn't return anything for wlan0 (only returns 0 results from eth0, which is not in use).  what is going on?
[09:04] <MonkeyDust> hellyeah  no eed to remove, just install a different DE and use that
[09:04] <MonkeyDust> no need*
[09:04] <hellyeah> i like gnome with gnome-panel
[09:04] <hellyeah> can i do gnome 2d with compiz and cairo like old times
[09:04] <hellyeah> that would be nice
[09:05] <wilee-nilee> monkey_, Are you sure you are booted into the ubuntu in sda7 when you run this command?
[09:06] <monkey_> wilee-nilee: yes, I am. I am currently using it to chat here. If you want I can paste here my fdisk -l dump so that you can see my other partitions as well cuz there might be issue with them.
[09:06] <derien> guys a new question here. i have killed zeitgesit and related jobs in system monitor but they have started again how can i shut them completely
[09:07] <wilee-nilee> monkey_, that info is in the bootscript
[09:09] <wilee-nilee> monkey_, There are some anomalies in the script, post a thread at the ubuntu forums with a fresh script, and I suspect you will get this fixed, that is where I learned all this from basically. The best help is on there during the day US time.
[09:10] <patryk1> wilee-nilee: did you write something ? I got dc
[09:11] <wilee-nilee> patryk1, not to you.
[09:12] <wilee-nilee> ah I see you have a new nic yes, There are some anomalies in the script, post a thread at the ubuntu forums with a fresh script, and I suspect you will get this fixed, that is where I learned all this from basically. The best help is on there during the day US time.
[09:12] <wilee-nilee> patryk1, ^^^ you were monkey_
[09:13] <patryk1> yeah :/ I will never learn IRC properly :/
[09:14] <monkey_> wilee-nilee: which script should I post ?
[09:14] <wilee-nilee> monkey_, the one you posted earlier is called the boot script, run a fresh one to post, it  is important that it shows your system as it is.
[09:15] <wilee-nilee> if that one does meaning no modifications after running it use that one monkey_
[09:19] <robertzaccour> How come in windows it says I have 4 GB RAM but in Linux it says I have 3.8 GB?
[09:20] <xiaopi[z]> Linux stole your RAM
[09:20] <Acidflash|> hehe
[09:20] <xiaopi[z]> the longer you keep it the more it's gonna eat until there's none left, be carefull
[09:20] <robertzaccour> xiaopi[z]: serious answers only please

[09:28] <Squall5668> robertzaccour: are you using a laptop?
[09:29] <robertzaccour> Squall5668: yes
[09:30] <biglittleman> Hello. I have a problem regarding anthy Japanese input. Does anyone have any experience using it?
[09:30] <Squall5668> robertzaccour: With intergrated gpu maybe?
[09:32] <robertzaccour> Squall5668: according to windows its dedicated (4.0 GB RAM)
[09:33] <Squall5668> according to windows, i'm currently using 5.5gb of ram running pidgin and windows update
[09:33] <robertzaccour> Squall5668: Nvidia Quadro graphics
[09:33] <k1l> robertzaccour: windows says what ram you build in, linux says waht ram you could actually use
[09:35] <ed911> !l
[09:35] <k1l> !list > ed911
[09:36] <ed911> !L
[09:38] <robertzaccour> windows displays what you can use also. it appears linux isn't using it all but windows is?
[09:39] <k1l> robertzaccour: no
[09:39] <k1l> robertzaccour: can you nopaste the "free -m" in a pasteservice?
[09:42] <robertzaccour> free -m              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached Mem:          3919       3417        502          0         23       2576 -/+ buffers/cache:        817       3102 Swap:         4058          1       4057
[09:42] <k1l> robertzaccour: there you have your 4gb
[09:43] <auronandace> robertzaccour: use a pastebin next time
[09:44] <robertzaccour> but in Details it says 3.8
[09:45] <robertzaccour> terminal and doesn't reconcile with Details
[09:45] <JayWood> Anyone know why vsftpd on ubuntu server has to be restarted before I can connect to it?
[09:46] <robertzaccour> k1l: how do I know which one is correct?
[09:47] <auronandace> !atemyram | robertzaccour
[09:48] <JayWood> Anyone know why vsftpd on ubuntu server has to be restarted before I can connect to it?
[09:49] <Sling> JayWood: not unless you can give us an error message or a description of why/how you can't connect :)
[09:50] <Viliny^> Hey, is it possible to use beowulf cluster or something to make a small cluster for encoding video?
[09:50] <Viliny^> Or rather,,, the most pain free easy way to do it
[09:51] <Viliny^> i have some 4 years of experience running a linux server and associated network at home with 7 computers but im not a wizard or anything
[09:52] <JayWood> Sling: sorry jumping channel to channel haha
[09:54] <JayWood> Sling: vsftpd is used in tandem with UFW and blocks all OUTSIDE calls aside from my computer, ips have been verified.  Server is in my living room.  I am currently logged out of the system but it stays on, like any other server.
[09:55] <JayWood> When I try to connect with filezilla it times out, dreamweaver, times out... however when I restart the service, works fine...
[09:55] <JayWood> this happens if I stay disconnected for a few hours, i have to restart the service, once it's started, works fine.
[09:55] <spobat> why does it still print bash? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6559846/Capture.PNG
[09:57] <spobat> noone an idea? :O
[09:59] <Sling> JayWood: can you run a tcpflow/tcpdump and see if the packets are being received, and if anything is being returned, for example 'tcpflow -c port 21'
[09:59] <Sling> i doubt that vsftpd itself actively 'blocks' the requests
[09:59] <JayWood> sure gimme a sec
[10:01] <JayWood> Sling: tcpdump or flow doesn't exist
[10:01] <Sling> JayWood: so apt-get install it
[10:02] <JayWood> lol sorry m8 been up awhile forgot
[10:02] <brous_000> what is the name of the ubuntu offtopic channel?
[10:02] <cfhowlett> !OT|brous_000:
[10:04] <JayWood> sling: failure resolving us.ubuntu.com
[10:04] <JayWood> er us.archive.ubuntu.com
[10:04] <JayWood> odd
[10:04] <fruity> How would it be possible to quit Gnome?
[10:05] <W4sp> spobat: $SHELL gives you the shell used for login and as in /etc/passwd.
[10:05] <yeats> fruity: what do you mean by "quit"?
[10:05] <spobat> W4sp: That made it clear, thanks!
[10:05] <spobat> W4sp: What's a reliable way to get the currently active shell?
[10:05] <Sling> JayWood: apt-get update then, perhaps your aptitude sources are outdated
[10:06] <fruity> yeats, sorry, but I'm not sure how I could bettery clarify what I mean.
[10:06] <fruity> better *
[10:06] <JayWood> updated it...nothing... man I have bad luck with linux haha
[10:06] <mamu> Spobat: w
[10:06] <JayWood> still got the "temporary failure" also
[10:07] <spobat> mamu: yes?
[10:07] <W4sp> spobat: YOu can change to that using 'chsh'. Check with 'which csh' its location and use that to alter '/bin/bash' to the desired one.
[10:08] <mamu> Spobat: w displays all active users and what theyre doin right now
[10:08] <ThinkT510> fruity: just exit? or looking to switch to another desktop?
[10:08] <llutz_> spobat: echo $0
[10:08] <geirha> spobat: ps -p $$  # is the most portable way I know of to see what the current shell is
[10:08] <spobat> llutz_ echo $0 won't work in the csh
[10:09] <spobat> mamu: ah!
[10:09] <W4sp> spobat: If you do that, however, mind that most scripts and login scripts expect /bin/sh
[10:09] <ThinkT510> !dash
[10:09] <fruity> I want to exit into console mode with Bash running. I hope that makes sense.
[10:10] <spobat> Okay
[10:10] <yeats> fruity: "quit" = "exit"? or "quit" = "stop using gnome and use another environment"?
[10:10] <spobat> I think ps -p $$ is actually the best
[10:10] <W4sp> ThinkT510: I think we should need to change that to #!/bin/bash as the space renders the line useless.
[10:10]  * yeats just saw ThinkT510's question
[10:11] <llutz_> W4sp: the space makes no difference in the shebang
[10:11] <ThinkT510> llutz_ +1
[10:12] <brous_000> xrandr gives resolutions, but how do i choose the one i want. because my computer is hooked up to my laptop and the current resolution is 1024x768 4:s (which sucks) and 1920x1080 is too large because it cuts off a half inch of everything. how do i fix this. my screen currently has about 5 inches of black bars on each side!
[10:12] <W4sp> llutz_: Yeah, now that you say that.
[10:12] <brous_000> computer hooked up to my tv****
[10:12] <brous_000> 4:3** i'm so tired..
[10:13] <geirha> W4sp: Hm? Changing ones login shell has no impact on sh scripts
[10:15] <W4sp> geirha: What are you trying to convey?
[10:16] <fruity> I want to quit Gnome and enter X.]
[10:16] <geirha> W4sp: Regarding your comment: «If you do that, however, mind that most scripts and login scripts expect /bin/sh»
[10:17] <W4sp> geirha: I see. For instance, your .profile, .login are not read by csh. so, whatever you define there is not utilized by csh. Also, the syntax is different.
[10:18] <W4sp> geirha: This can give someone unexpected results.
[10:19] <geirha> W4sp: Right, .profile is only for bourne-derivates. csh uses .login (among other csh specific dotfiles) I believe.
[10:20] <m8> sorry sorry JayWood
[10:20] <W4sp> geirha: It was meant as a warning, not as a way to fix things, shoult someone change to csh or tcsh.
[10:20] <geirha> W4sp: But I do see your point, though users of csh are probably already aware of what files they need to set up
[10:23] <W4sp> geirha: I agree with you but I have seen some struggling after chsh has been run. Yesterday was the most recent incident reported around this subject.
[10:23] <bunjee> what program works with lightscribe?
[10:24] <W4sp> fruity: Are you being served?
[10:27] <tech1> atm i back up my system's config with 2 scripts,  one deploys modification files to my  system from my home/mods (this is only to be used with a fresh OS install), when i have my system setup and do active changes i use the other script to update my home/mods files with my new system changes, which is fine -but if i want to add a new modification with a new file i have to update both scripts to that file/location etc.....
[10:27] <tech1> is there an easier way to go about this? perhaps by backing up my whole os +mods with rsync to another drive? or would that involve compiling a distro and it's boot things too each time
[10:31] <Viliny^> i realize this might be OT, but does anyone here know of any  existing ways of making ubuntu (or other distros, live ones etc) utilize several computers in a cluster beyond mpi and such? So that all work on the cpu would be distributed across nodes?
[10:32] <MonkeyDust> Viliny^  sounds like multiseat
[10:32] <cfhowlett> Viliny^: not off topic but definitely an esoteric request.  I'm inclined to suggest that the #ubuntu-server channel might have an answer as this channel seems dominated by desktop users.
[10:33] <opalepatrick> ok good maintained incremental backup for ubuntu where I can restore a single file - gui or command line - any ideas
[10:33] <opalepatrick> ?
[10:34] <Viliny^> Thank you, i should have realized that server side might be a better fit for the question
[10:34] <MonkeyDust> opalepatrick  a backup with rsync, you basically create a copy, from which you can recover single files
[10:34] <cfhowlett> Viliny^: best of luck and please consider writing up the solution for future users.
[10:35] <opalepatrick> aah just typing that this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem - doesnt really refer to single files :-) MonkeyDust :-) OK, I will check that out in more depth. cl or gui (or does it matter)?
[10:36] <Viliny^> cfhowlett, sure - where do you suggest i document this?
[10:36] <cfhowlett> Viliny^: ubuntu forums would be one site.  Assuming you have such, also to your blog?
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> opalepatrick  cli is faster, rsync -azvv for incremental compressed copy/backup
[10:37] <Viliny^> cfhowlett, roger
[10:37] <opalepatrick> great thank you MonkeyDust
[10:38] <MonkeyDust> opalepatrick  rsync -azvv --progress even
[10:38] <opalepatrick> just noted :-)
[10:40] <Viliny^> multiseat is definetly not what im after
[10:44] <anddam> I'm impressed by the average-Joe-install-experience provided by Ubuntu, it's really smooth
[10:45] <anddam> I hadn't tried it since release 8, I think this works extremely well for mass end users
[10:45] <anddam> well apart that grub thing but actually I didn't read thoroughly what happened so I cannot complain

[10:52] <ThinkT510> aguitel: you can do that via grub2, not sure how myself

[10:57] <Wiz_KeeD> pff it's gone now
[10:57] <Wiz_KeeD> comes and gos idk wtf
[10:57] <me-1> any way I can get gnome 3 instead of unity ubuntu 12.04..?

[11:00] <me-1> ThinkT510,  I am asking about gnome 3 not 2
[11:00] <ThinkT510> me-1: thats what the factoid addresses
[11:01] <ThinkT510> me-1: gnome shell is gnome3
[11:03] <me-1> ThinkT510,  I am novice I am sorry for noob question but I want normal gnome 3 which comes with Fedora 17
[11:03]  * mbahkangkung brb take a shower dl
[11:03]  * thanmustoki brb take a shower dl
[11:03] <ThinkT510> me-1: re-read the factoid, it tells you rather clearly to install gnome-shell
[11:04] <me-1> so gnome shell is gnome 3..?
[11:04] <ThinkT510> me-1: yes
[11:05] <k1l> me-1: gnome3 is just the base. gnome-shell is what you acctually see
[11:05] <fruity> Is my understanding that X acts as a skeleton to desktop environments like Gnome correct?
[11:05] <ThinkT510> fruity: essentially yes
[11:05] <fruity> I see.
[11:05] <me-1> ThinkT510, k1l thank you guyz
[11:06] <k1l> me-1: and unity is just another shell for the gnome3. it uses the same base.
[11:06] <fruity> Guys, what I would like to do is quite Gnome and enter X.

[11:10] <drcode> hi all
[11:11] <drcode> how can I tell ubuntu to use vga - nvidia card?
[11:11] <fire_> in firefox whatever i enter in url bar i am redirected to www.163.com.
[11:12] <fruity> ThinkT510, I'm not sure whether I could give you a satisfying explanation as to why. I just want to learn.
[11:12] <cfhowlett> fire_: you in china??
[11:12] <k1l> fruity: x is not like gnome. X is a base for the desktop-enviroment. without it there is nothing
[11:13] <fire_> cfhowlett, no
[11:13] <cfhowlett> fire_: also, clear your ffox caches, delete ffox history, and check FF preferences.
[11:13] <k1l> fire_: check proxy settings
[11:14] <fire_> cfhowlett, and k1l ok
[11:14] <cfhowlett> k1l: thanks, I knew there was something else ...
[11:14] <fruity> k1l, I understand that.
[11:15] <Xperia_Maniac> hi there
[11:15] <Xperia_Maniac> i need som help
[11:15] <indieross> if i have triple buffering enabled in my xorg.conf is there any point in enabling double buffering in smplayer?
[11:16] <ThinkT510> Xperia_Maniac: we can't help without knowing the problem
[11:16] <Xperia_Maniac> would anyone of you have an link for Ubuntu 11 iso?? along with the Wubi?
[11:16] <Xperia_Maniac> :)
[11:16] <cfhowlett> Xperia_Maniac: greetings
[11:16] <cfhowlett> !ask|Xperia_Maniac:
[11:17] <ThinkT510> Xperia_Maniac: 11.04 or 11.10, why would you want them instead of 12.04?
[11:17] <cfhowlett> Xperia_Maniac: 11.04 or 11.10 also Y U NO 12.04?
[11:17] <MonkeyDust> Xperia_Maniac  wubi :(
[11:18] <MonkeyDust> !u > cfhowlett
[11:18] <fire_> cfhowlett, and k1l still it is redirecting
[11:19] <fire_> in proxy it is use system proxy settings.
[11:19] <cfhowlett> fire_: definitely something in your ffox, thus not strictly an ubuntu issue.   I'm trying to set up solr-jetty, and on ARM I seem to be missing  /usr/lib/jvm/default-java which some of the tools depend on. Can anybody tell me what package put it there, so I can check I've not bungled the java install before looking for something more ARM-specific?
[11:25] <fire_> cfhowlett, nothing works i am getting redirected to www.163.com
[11:25] <ThinkT510> !find /usr/lib/jvm/default-java | Chipaca
[11:25] <MonkeyDust> Chipaca  better ask in #ubuntu-server, i guess
[11:25] <cfhowlett> fire_: sudo apt-get purge firefox reboot then sudo apt-get install firefox
[11:26] <Chipaca> ah, I have neither default-jre nor default-jre-headless installed
[11:26] <Chipaca> excellent, thank you ThinkT510
[11:26] <ThinkT510> Chipaca: no worries :)
[11:26] <cfhowlett> fire_: assuming that you do not need a browser to sign into the net.  OR install a 2nd browser; chromium?
[11:29] <Draconicus> I trashed my entire Precise apt system by adding an old Lucid repository in order to get an old, old version of gthumb I really like. I have removed the held/locked packages and removed the Lucid repository, but ANY package I try to install hits a random snag where "blah blah version" IS TO BE INSTALLED for seom dependencies
[11:30] <Draconicus> I can't install anything now. It really seems like updates aren't showing up, and so it's expecting updated versions of dependencies that aren't available somehow
[11:30] <cfhowlett> Draconicus: ow.  why not just download the package .deb?
[11:30] <fire_> cfhowlett, :(
[11:30] <ThinkT510> Draconicus: don't mix version repos
[11:30] <cfhowlett> Draconicus: No expert, but I do belive you're looking a fresh install.
[11:30] <cfhowlett> fire_: even 2nd browser redirects??
[11:31] <cfhowlett> fire_: if so, I'd suspect your router...
[11:31] <Draconicus> You're all really terrible. How do I wipe the apt system back to defaults?
[11:32] <fire_> cfhowlett, using chromium, it doesnot redirect. but i have installed mint, arch and ubuntu in all of them firefox is redirecting. and chromium doesn't. checked windows afterwards in it firefox and chromium are working fine.
[11:32] <ThinkT510> Draconicus: remove the repo and sudo apt-get install -f
[11:32] <Draconicus> ThinkT510: Two days ago.
[11:32] <fire_> all reinstalled ubuntu but still in a fresh installed the same thing is happening
[11:32] <ThinkT510> Draconicus: i don't expect that to work so if it doesn't you'd need to reinstall
[11:33] <Draconicus> ThinkT510: That logic is flawed. Why do I need to reinstall the entire system to get apt back to normal?
[11:33] <cfhowlett> fire_: purge and reinstall or adopt a new broswer?
[11:33] <k1l> fire_: maybe some addon you are using. or you proxy setting you have
[11:33] <Chipaca> Draconicus: could you pastebin the actual output from apt-get please?
[11:33] <ThinkT510> Draconicus: because you deliberately broke it by adding an unsupported repo
[11:33] <Chipaca> Draconicus: as to why you might need to reinstall, it's because you've purposely hosed your system, and getting it back to normal would require an expert at the keyboard
[11:34] <fire_> cfhowlett, here what i am concered about is the security ?? isn't my system compromized ?
[11:34] <Chipaca> Draconicus: still, pastebin the output, let's see if it's that bad
[11:34] <k1l> Draconicus: where was your logic when braking your apt-system?
[11:34]  * Chipaca -> lunch
[11:35] <k1l> so that is no reason for or against a method. pastebin the whole error messages so we can have a look at it
[11:35] <fire_> should i change my dns ??
[11:35] <fire_> any dns server addr that i can use ??
[11:36] <cfhowlett> fire_: definitely something weird happened, but it could be (forgive me for saying so) an OHE - Operator Headspace Error - especially if this is a shared system.  www.163.com is a legit site here in China.  Are you compromised?  Doubt it, but possible.  To be certain, you'd have to clean re-install ...
[11:36] <Draconicus> Chipaca: http://pastebin.com/65etEnm0
[11:36] <cfhowlett> fire_: dns knowledge is above my level of "expertise"
[11:37] <fire_> cfhowlett, i have re-installed. and then installed firefox to check the error. but this error persisted even in the new system
[11:37] <freakingass> hello! The /etc/hosts   file is supposed to be a name resolution method which preceed external DNS... but nslookup still prints the external reply instead of hosts one
[11:38] <freakingass> I've already clean the DNS cache
[11:38] <freakingass> What could it be?
[11:38] <gyre007> I have inherited rather big server and I noticed that it has virbr0 device configured but i've no idea where.../etc/netw/ifcs doesnt contain any mention of it yet on reboot the interface still comes up in ifconfig output...mmm
[11:38] <cfhowlett> fire_: whoa.  THAT is absolutely abnormal behavior...
[11:38] <gyre007> anyone ideas ?
[11:39] <udayan> People I started to use Ubuntu in april -I thought it would give me option weather to boot into ubuntu or windows at each start but that didnt happen - but i was happy with ubuntu and didnt have time so didnt try for getting a dual boot
[11:39] <udayan> Now my father has stepped up pressure on me to either have a dual boot working or remove ubuntu.
[11:39] <udayan> 2 months back I had tried out repairing windows(was suggested by a friend) by putting the cd but still I didnt get the dual boot option
[11:39] <udayan> recently after searching the web I found out that a lot of people do use dual boot
[11:39] <udayan> but I dont get what I should do even after searching a lot
[11:39] <FloodBot1> udayan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:39] <udayan> do u think I should try something like this-http://www.howtoforge.com/working_with_the_grub_menu
[11:39] <fire_> cfhowlett, again reinstalling the system now :( hope i get out of this prob soon, and thanks for the support cfhowlett :)
[11:40] <cfhowlett> fire_: glad to provide what little I could.  Best of luck.  And if you figure it out, let us know!  post up at ubuntu forums
[11:40] <fire_> cfhowlett, ya sure :)
[11:40] <cfhowlett> udayan: windows repair will NOT create a dual boot option, it'll restore windows default/supremacy in your boot system.
[11:40] <jrib> udayan: please don't use enter so much (keep your replies on a single line).  Regarding your question. If you have windows installed, just choose the proper option when installing ubuntu (so that it keeps windows).  What's the status now?  Do you have just ubuntu? Just windows? Or do you have both installed and one is inaccessible?   Normally I would handle this sort of outdated package thing with dpkg and some loose files, but the number of ancient dependencies I had to dig up became overwhelming. The repo was only active and used for three packages, and to even use them I had to force-version.
[11:42] <cfhowlett> udayan: curious, did you install via wubi, i.e. the windows installer method?
[11:42] <udayan> Both are installed but I never get windows option only ubuntu load on each boot
[11:42] <jalexandru> do you see anything on your screen before ubuntu loads?
[11:42] <cfhowlett> udayan: when you boot ubuntu, can you see the windows partitions?
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> udayan  which 'both' are installed? did you use wubi?
[11:43] <udayan> ya the frequency thing in spanish or french
[11:44] <udayan> windows was installed but after i had ubuntu only ubuntu starts now
[11:44] <udayan> no i dont have wubi
[11:45] <cfhowlett> udayan: can you see your windows partition from ubuntu?
[11:45] <udayan> ya all files are intact -i think
[11:45] <jalexandru> udayan: do you see anything on the screen before ubuntu starts to load? for example the screen where it says "pres F2 to go to bios ...."?
[11:45] <Draconicus> udayan: What option did you choose during the installation? "Install alongside Windows"?
[11:46] <indieross> if i have triple buffering enabled in my xorg.conf is there any point in enabling double buffering in smplayer?
[11:46] <namoamitabuddha> How can I determine the PID of a pop-up window?
[11:46] <udayan> ya install alongside windows and no screen to say press f2
[11:46] <Draconicus> Chipaca: What I see is that the newer versions of packages are available, but not listed or expected. Where do you think the disconnect might be?
[11:46] <namoamitabuddha> I'm using awesome wm.
[11:47] <jgcampbell300> hello
[11:47] <Pici> namoamitabuddha: xwininfo might be able to help you.
[11:47] <jalexandru> udayan: is this a laptop?
[11:47] <cfhowlett> jgcampbell300: greetings.  What's your ubuntu question?
[11:47] <Wiz_KeeD> does anyone know how to turn the vertical dotted line back to a cursor in ubuntu 12.04?
[11:47] <udayan> PC
[11:47] <namoamitabuddha> Pici: Let me try. Thanks!
[11:47] <Draconicus> udayan: When your computer starts up, after the BIOS part where the brand logo shows or whatever, press ESC rapidly (wait for the screen to go black for a second). This will force the boot loader menu to appear
[11:47] <namoamitabuddha> Pici: seems good!
[11:48] <Draconicus> udayan: In fact, I think the screen turns purple by that point.
[11:48] <udayan> thanks draconicus i will try that and come back if it dosnt work
[11:49] <jgcampbell300> I am in need of advice. I want to setup ubuntu server, I need a web server but there are so many options to look at and need advice in witch way to go. I would like to be able to move my server to a cloud eventualy and would also like to be able to host many sites and sub sites .... any thoughts
[11:49] <jgcampbell300> I was thinking of setting up on a VBox or something like that
[11:50] <cfhowlett> jgcampbell300: FYI #ubuntu-server might have specific answers to many server type questions.
[11:50] <cfhowlett> jgcampbell300: you can certainly do a server in vbox...
[11:50] <jgcampbell300> cfhowlett, hmm ok thanks much

[11:56] <Wiz_KeeD> yes indieross it's the strangest little shit, just comes and goes
[11:56] <Wiz_KeeD> cursor gets transformed into a dotted vertical black line
[11:56] <indieross> where?
[11:56] <ThinkT510> Wiz_KeeD: i'd love to see a screenshot
[11:57] <Wiz_KeeD> and if i take a screenshot the cursor shows normaly in the sc, no joke
[11:57] <Wiz_KeeD> maybe it'f from eclipse or i have no ideea...
[11:57] <ThinkT510> Wiz_KeeD: then take a picture
[11:57] <indieross> have you tried a different cursor theme?
[11:57] <Wiz_KeeD> yeah that could work
[11:57] <Wiz_KeeD> next time it happens i will
[11:57] <whiskers75> what is extlinux, and why was it installed with unetbootin?
[11:58] <jgcampbell300> wow not many people talking in the server room
[11:58] <whiskers75> !help
[11:58] <cfhowlett> jgcampbell300: that happens.  Lemme try: specify the type/use of the server you plan.
[11:59] <jgcampbell300> cfhowlett, nice ... thanks
[11:59] <cfhowlett> jgcampbell300: no, I mean here + now YOU: specify the type and use of the server you're planning.  :)
[12:02] <udayan> as suggested by draconicus i started pressing esc when asus(company) logo appeared but i didnt get the dual boot option instead it passed to the normal screen which says "ATENCION 92K/58HZ FREQUENCIA DE MARGEN"  and then finally to the ubuntu login screen what to do next
[12:02] <jrib> udayan: you should hold the shift button during boot

[12:06] <Dr_Willis> udayan: a small summary would be nice for the channel
[12:07] <amr_> hello, every time I open the software application it just re-close automatically ...?
[12:07] <ThinkT510> udayan: when installing ubuntu it would automatically detect windows and offer it as a boot option
[12:07] <cfhowlett> ThinkT510:2 hard drives on udayan's system ...
[12:08] <cfhowlett> Dr_Willis: 2 hard drives on udayan's system...
[12:08] <whiskers75> amr_: run software-center in the terminal - what output do you get?
[12:08] <ThinkT510> cfhowlett: yeah, it would still detect them
[12:08] <udayan> ThinkT510- ya i installe ubuntu alongside windows and all my c drive is intact in filesystem 43
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> amr_: try running it from terminal and look for errors. or do a sudo apt-get update &upgrade  then try it again

[12:09] <k1l> technologov: there is no official ubuntu-for-android yet
[12:10] <cfhowlett> udayan: try reinstalling grub from the tutorial at that link.  It should pick up the other OS and automatically configure for dual boot
[12:10] <amr_> I got E: mailformed line 57 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list what I should do?
[12:10] <whiskers75> !extlinux

[12:11] <ThinkT510> udayan: then launch gparted and show us a screenshot
[12:12] <amr_> how to commenting the line put (//) in the begining of the line?
[12:12] <cfhowlett> amr_: to regenerate/replace your .sources.list see http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php
[12:12] <usr13> amr_: If you look at it, and compare to other lines, you will probably see.  #
[12:12] <cfhowlett> amr_: # will comment out a line
[12:12] <Doxin> any idea what package jni.h is in?
[12:13] <usr13> amr_: You will see other lines with  #   as first character.
[12:13] <ThinkT510> !find jni.h | Doxin
[12:14] <amr_> here is my 57 line >>deb http://archive.canonical.com/lucid partner

[12:18] <usr13> amr_: You must have a network problem

[12:20] <klawd_prime> hi!
[12:20] <usr13> amr_: Solve your network problem and upload the file to paste.ubuntu.com
[12:20] <klawd_prime> is there a hook to run files when a user logs in?
[12:21] <cfhowlett> klawd_prime: greetings

[12:21] <udayan> THINKT5 whats paste bin i dont know
[12:21] <Daghdha> Hi, can i change ubunt so when i type a url it always goes to the IP i want it to go? So www.beeptoot.bla goes to <IP_ADDRESS> e.g.
[12:21] <k1l> !paste | udayan
[12:22] <usr13> amr_: Did you look at the date of the file before you edited it?  (It might give you a clue as to what happened to it.)
[12:22] <jrib> klawd_prime: /etc/xdg/autostart/ if for every user or ~/.config/autostart/ per user
[12:22] <klawd_prime> aye, thanks
[12:22] <jrib> klawd_prime: note .desktop files should go in those directories
[12:22] <klawd_prime> ok, thank you
[12:22] <ThinkT510> udayan: copy it to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[12:23] <amr_> it's working now
[12:23] <amr_> thank you so much
[12:23] <klawd_prime> jrib: there's a misunderstanding, i don't mean log in via gdm or something
[12:23] <klawd_prime> i'm logging in via bash
[12:23] <klawd_prime> erm.. ssh
[12:24] <klawd_prime> this is a machine with tomcat and the PATH var is broken
[12:24] <jrib> klawd_prime: use ~/.profile
[12:24] <usr13> amr_: You probably should have just changed the words lucid to precise
[12:24] <klawd_prime> jrib: /usr/lib/apache-maven-3.0.4/bin:$PATH:$JAVA_HOME:$RJE_HOME this is the path i have after logging in
[12:24] <klawd_prime> so i figure tomcat messed it up and I'
[12:25] <klawd_prime> I'm trying to figure out where
[12:25] <k1l> amr_: dont edit the text inside those files if you dint know what you are doing. you broke your ubuntu by adding an old and wrong repositry to it
[12:25] <jrib> klawd_prime: how are you determining that?
[12:25] <retnan_> whiskers75: -rwxrwxrwx  1 www-data root    0 Aug 21 12:36 /home/.htaccess
[12:26] <udayan> still think and k1l i dont get how to paste bin- pasted the /boot line in terminal nothin happened
[12:26] <amr_> usr13: i did what you said and it's working fine
[12:26] <usr13> amr_: If you change it again, do apt-get update  (And from now on, if you add repositories, watch what you are doing, use the application that does it for you).
[12:26] <klawd_prime> jrib: i got it. in /etc/environment was a faulty line
[12:26] <klawd_prime> thanks
[12:26] <jrib> udayan: visit this website: http://paste.ubuntu.com, then copy and paste whatever you want into the box, then submit, then give the url here
[12:26] <k1l> udayan: its like uploading a screenshot but just with text. read the message from the bot
[12:26] <ThinkT510> udayan: no, got to /boot/grub/ and copy the contents of the grub.cfg file to the website
[12:26] <amr_> usr13: thank you
[12:26] <amr_> k1l: thank you,
[12:27] <usr13> amr_: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources

[12:29] <fixxxermet> Hey guys.  I have a local mirror via apt-mirror, mirroring lucid and precise 64-bit main, restricted, universe and multiverse.  My 64-bit precise client is pointing to my local mirror, and is trying to download a 'binary-i386' file.  Why would it be looking for i386 when it is a 64-bit server?
[12:29] <amr_> usr13: I did it ,thank you
[12:30] <m1chael> when i changed from a USB keyboard to a PS2 keyboard, I get an error saying that Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode... this behavior disappears as soon as I reboot with the USB keyboard plugged back in... what can i do about this?

[12:36] <ThinkT510> udayan: see bookmarks to the left? click filesystem
[12:37] <en1gma> could someone tell me how or provide a link so i could either download pre-built packages for the latest kismet and aircrack developement builds for ubuntu 64 bit?
[12:38] <en1gma> i want to use ubuntu live cd and then just install (dpkg) those two packages
[12:38] <udayan> THINK in bookmarks there is home       no filesystem(they r under devices)
[12:38] <ThinkT510> en1gma: if they aren't in the repos then we can't really help you
[12:39] <en1gma> you can help with me building the packages and saving a .deb
[12:39] <en1gma> so i can then later use dpkg -i
[12:39] <ThinkT510> udayan: just press file system, you can see it right?
[12:40] <udayan> ya THINK got it
[12:40] <ThinkT510> en1gma: i can't no, you could use a ppa but they are unsupported (use at your own risk)
[12:40] <ThinkT510> !ppa | en1gma
[12:40] <en1gma> thanks
[12:41] <ThinkT510> en1gma: no worries :)

[12:53] <Daghdha> I am on network though
[12:53] <compdoc> aristidesfl, you might install ubuntu on another drive or in a VM, and copy the folder
[12:54] <udayan> THINK : see this   http://paste.ubuntu.com/1158968/
[12:54] <aristidesfl> compdoc what about packages installed afterwards?

[12:58] <ThinkT510> Ann-Mariya: what does gparted show
[12:58] <udayan_> sorry people by mistake
[12:59] <Ann-Mariya> ThinkT510: In the installation step ?
[12:59] <ThinkT510> Ann-Mariya: well, i'd use gparted on its own
