[00:00] <Jordan_U> john3voltas: Wubi is the Windows Based Ubuntu Installer. It creates an ext4 disk image file on your Windows partition and sets up ntldr/BCD to boot from it allowing you to have a full Ubuntu installation without any repartitioning or changing of the MBR. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-with-windows
[00:00] <MrGizmo757> yeah.
[00:00] <TomatoKetchup> MrGizmo757, sorry I couldn't be of much help
[00:00] <psusi> ring1, I thought the cd was staying the same, but they were adding a new image that was to be around 1+gb, smaller than dvd but larger than cd
[00:01] <MrGizmo757> well you helped some.  i went from no emails at all  to emails.   just need to work out this secure connction error.
[00:01] <L3top> !cookie | TomatoKetchup
[00:02] <MrGizmo757> i have an idea.  ill wait until my wife gets done on on her windows laptop.  and i will get thunderbird up on that and compare the advanced settings.
[00:02] <john3voltas> Jordan_U, as said, i can't install linux or anything suspicious like wubi. all i need is a boot parameter to tell the kernel where to find the filesystem squashfs.
[00:02] <TomatoKetchup> lol thanks
[00:02] <L3top> It is cumulative
[00:02] <Jordan_U> john3voltas: I don't know what kernel parameter that would be, sorry.
[00:02] <bennypr0fane> hello, I have a wlan problem, 12.04 doesn't recognize my chip it's a broadcomm 43xx
[00:02] <L3top> everytime I pop in here today you are fixing.
[00:02] <L3top> thats good stuff
[00:02] <MrGizmo757> becuase it works fine on the windows machine so  if i can match my settings under ubuntu  to the way its sets itself up under windows maybe it will work.
[00:03] <TomatoKetchup> MrGizmo757, good deal, did you check the thunderbird error console?
[00:03] <john3voltas> Jordan_U, do you mean the kernel parameters are not documented?
[00:03] <MrGizmo757> no
[00:03] <TomatoKetchup> MrGizmo757,  Tools > Error console, see if there is anything helpful in there.
[00:03] <Jordan_U> john3voltas: The may or may not be documented. If they are documented then I don't know where to find them.
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> john3voltas: what are you wanting to achieve with the boot option?
[00:04] <MrGizmo757> there are two erros marked in red
[00:04] <bennypr0fane> here's some output from lshow -c network: http://pastebin.com/EMgGpxwP

[00:04] <ring1> psusi, http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/05/msg00685.html
[00:04] <MrGizmo757> have no clue what that means
[00:04] <c0ldz3r0> how can i set my printer to print in win xp without ask for password
[00:04] <TomatoKetchup> yeah that's nothing, two of the same error?
[00:04] <c0ldz3r0> any idea ?
[00:04] <john3voltas> ActionParsnip, i want to boot ubuntu in a frugal way. just vmlinuz+initrd+filesystem.squashfs from my hdd instead of from a livecd
[00:04] <MrGizmo757> and the other says  attribute deprecated
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> john3voltas: add the boot option:   text
[00:06] <MrGizmo757> ok heres somthing.   i have Chrome installed as my browser. and one of the logs says   Could not read chrome manifest 'jar:file:    so maybe its trying to do somthing with chrome that is messing things up.
[00:06] <john3voltas> ActionParsnip, text? what does it do?
[00:06] <TomatoKetchup> eh, I have that error too
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> john3voltas: makes the X server not load but but starts all the services and such
[00:07] <bennypr0fane> I removed bcmwl-kernel-source, broadcom-sta-common, and broadcom-sta-source,
[00:07] <OerHeks> bennypr0fane, firmware=N/A , i think you need the firmware-b43-installer package, after install reboot
[00:07] <bennypr0fane>  I installed b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer and rebooted, also un.blacklisted bcm43xx and rebooted - no success! :-( :-( :-(
[00:08] <john3voltas> ActionParsnip, don't get why you're telling me to use it. what do i gain? how will i be able to boot ubuntu frugal using text?
[00:08] <bennypr0fane> OerHeks all done, nothing happened
[00:09] <MrGizmo757> ok a few of the error logs have somthing related to chrome in here
[00:09] <bennypr0fane> c0ldz3r0 your questions seems off-topic, it sounds like it belongs in a windows channel...
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> c0ldz3r0: how did you share the printer? I imagine you shared it in Ubuntu...
[00:10] <c0ldz3r0> sorry i use ubuntu and the printer is installed um windows machine
[00:10] <john3voltas> Jordan_U, this is for debian: http://grml.org/online-docs/live-initramfs.en.7.html
[00:10] <c0ldz3r0> the printer works normal
[00:10] <c0ldz3r0> the question is
[00:10] <john3voltas> Jordan_U, i wanted to find the same for ubuntu
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> c0ldz3r0: so you want to print from ubuntu to a Windows shared printer?
[00:10] <c0ldz3r0> yes
[00:11] <bennypr0fane> c0ldz3r0 which is the application that's asks you for a pw?
[00:11] <c0ldz3r0> every time i want to print something i have to enter user and pass
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> c0ldz3r0: you can set the username and password when you connect, its part of adding the printer
[00:11] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: I think you misunderstood what john3voltas meant by "frugal", in this context they mean something like http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Frugal_Install
[00:11] <john3voltas> yep
[00:11] <john3voltas> like DSL or Puppy
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> john3voltas: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=888911
[00:12] <c0ldz3r0> sorry a cant add pass and user in printer
[00:12] <c0ldz3r0> not ask me
[00:13] <john3voltas> ActionParsnip, ah! topic posted by nooby, a puppy long time user from sweden :)
[00:13] <MrGizmo757> ok well i am out of here.   ill mess with this more later.   thanx for all the help
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> c0ldz3r0: you do, its set when you add the printer, like I already said.
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> c0ldz3r0: http://heatware.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/ubuntu_printer_4.png   see in the bottom right, that's where you add the credentials. It happened on your system too
[00:16] <john3voltas> ActionParsnip, that topic doesn't say how to boot ubuntu in a frugal way
[00:16] <OerHeks> bennypr0fane, on a Acer laptop?
[00:16] <john3voltas> actually, that's what nooby was asking for in the 1st place
[00:16] <c0ldz3r0> ActionParsnip: i will check this now thanks
[00:16] <bennypr0fane> OerHeks yes
[00:16] <OerHeks> bennypr0fane, post 3 or 4 sounds promissing, acer wmi trouble > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1704122
[00:18] <mrmath130> hey i just had a quick question about minimum system requirements
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> c0ldz3r0: you'll need to remove the current printer, than readd
[00:18] <bennypr0fane> c0ldz3r0 or you could managing the printer via cups.that saved my life with the last printer on the nework
[00:18] <mrmath130> i couldn't find them anywhere on the website
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> !requirements
[00:18] <mrmath130> !requirements
[00:19] <john3voltas> Jordan_U, hey, what's that 'file' command? like append  file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper ...
[00:19] <mrmath130> oh ok thanks
[00:19] <c0ldz3r0> bennypr0fane: i added the printer via cups
[00:19] <c0ldz3r0> not from printer app
[00:19] <c0ldz3r0> lol
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> c0ldz3r0: use:   system-config-printer
[00:20] <c0ldz3r0> ActionParsnip: ok doing now
[00:20] <c0ldz3r0> thanks to all
[00:21] <Jordan_U> john3voltas: I believe that it's the path to the preseed file.
[00:23] <john3voltas> Jordan_U, honestly don't know what a preseed file is. thought it could be the same as the live-media-path from debian...
[00:23] <john3voltas> dead end, huh?
[00:23] <Jordan_U> john3voltas: No, it for settings related to installation.

[00:24] <hwolff> Hello, I have a question about ubuntu and virtualbox. Every time I run an update, the system installs the generic-pae kernel. When I boot, it then boots the pae kernel. But that kernel has no module vboxdrv.
[00:25] <hwolff> solid_liq: Is there a vboxdrv for pae? If not, is there a way for the update not to install pae?
[00:25] <john3voltas> s/it/it's ? what's that? i'm not english native ;)
[00:25] <solid_liq> hwolff, why are you asking me?
[00:25] <digitalslave> just installed 12.04 fresh and the onscreen keyboard comes up everytime i logon... anyone know of a fix for this??
[00:25] <bohemian9485> hwolff: try re-install virtualbox, my kernel is generic-pae and virtualbox runs fine
[00:25] <hwolff> solid_liq, sorry, my irc client seems to have expanded the so: to your nick. I'm sorry.
[00:26] <dlentz> hwolff, that's why you use dkms, so when you install a new kernel, the vboxdrv is automatically built/iinstalled
[00:26] <bennypr0fane> OerHeks, thanks, how can I find out whether that module is laoded or not?
[00:27] <digitalslave> onboard when unlocking the screen is already unchecked
[00:27] <glioros> is there any way to manually recalculate the statistics rathen than setting a cron in this was /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/statistics --calculate-all
[00:27] <glioros> ?
[00:27] <glioros> any command ?
[00:28] <OerHeks> bennypr0fane, if you perform " sudo modprobe -r acer-wmi " and you have sound, then use the blacklist
[00:29] <Guest57117> FireFly
[00:29] <john3voltas> gotta go. thanks to all who tried to help me. cheers
[00:29] <glioros> anybody?
[00:29] <hwolff> thanks, I'll look into dkms
[00:30] <bennypr0fane> OerHeks, what do you mean by "if you have sound"?
[00:30] <OerHeks> bennypr0fane, it should work instantly
[00:31] <bennypr0fane> what sound?
[00:31] <bennypr0fane> we're talking about my wlan...
[00:32] <OerHeks> bennypr0fane,  err wlan should work instantly, my bad
[00:33] <bennypr0fane> nothing happening :-(
[00:33] <Kaigh> Hello, I was wondering if I could receive some help
[00:33] <bennypr0fane> Kaigh just ask...
[00:34] <bennypr0fane> OerHeks the Acer models they are talking about I think are bigger models
[00:35] <Kaigh> I'm trying to install ubuntu alongside Windows 7. I've created a partition of 35 gb to install ubuntu on, but am lost on how to install ubuntu on this partition.
[00:35] <aaa> my secondary hard drive does not mount on Nautilus, but i can see it in \dev\disc\by-uuid. how can i check it?
[00:35] <Ububegin> Do I have to  install something to enable other pple to ssh into my computer ?
[00:36] <lorecaster> have a problem... I have been running a DVI cable into my visio 32" HD monitor for a year now... i bought an HDMI cable to take advantage of the 3D speakers built into the monitor, but hwen I did, my keyboard (software) locks and either freezes out (buttons don't work) or locks a keystroke and won't let me change it. clearly sofware related. mouse works fine. switched back in the DVI calbe, no change. went into a live-boot off the 12.04
[00:36] <lorecaster> install disk, same problem. Help?
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> Kaigh: unpartition the space and leave the space unallocated, then install to the free space
[00:36] <escott> Ububegin, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[00:37] <Kaigh> It is unallocated, nothing's on it. The unallocated partition doesn't show up when I try to install
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> lorecaster: what GPU?
[00:38] <lorecaster> nvidia 9300 if i'm not mistaken. emme chick :)
[00:38] <psusi> Kaigh, a partition that has no files in it is not the same as unpartitioned space... delete the partition and when you install ubuntu, tell it to install using free space
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> lorecaster: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[00:38] <lorecaster> how would I go about this?
[00:38] <alphanoop> Kaigh when installing select that partition and use for "/"
[00:39] <benvei> Does someone know why
[00:39] <benvei> debootstrap --arch amd64 precise /vz/private/101 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

[00:41] <wolferz> I just installed ubuntu server, I need a gui for setting some things up.

Does anyone have some guidance for me?
[00:41] <skx`> hi - i have ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I would like to update evolution to latest stable version 3.4.2
[00:41] <skx`> http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/download.shtml
[00:42] <escott> skx`, not possible
[00:42] <skx`> can't i install a compiled build or should i reallt build it myself?
[00:42] <skx`> why escott?
[00:42] <xangua> skx`: then you would neet to upgrade gnome, and then you would need to upgrade ubuntu lucid to precice pangolin
[00:43] <stevecam> hey my videos have a blue tint to it, ive tried going through my video settings but i have no idea where to look
[00:43] <escott> skx`, you could try to compile yourself but your entire desktop stack would need upgrading. you would likely end up with  non-functional desktop
[00:43] <skx`> that's annoying as the evolution app is full of bugs
[00:43] <aaa> my secondary hard drive does not mount on Nautilus, but i can see it in \dev\disc\by-uuid. how can i check it?
[00:43] <bgamari> How does one kill a task during boot?
[00:44] <bgamari> My machine appears to be thrashing during some upstart job during boot
[00:44] <HowardTheDuck> hi!
[00:44] <bgamari> Naturally Ctrl-C is caught and ignored
[00:44] <skx`> ctrl+shift+c
[00:45] <bgamari> skx`: Appears to have no effect
[00:46] <ALFI0> qualche frocio dall'italia?
[00:46] <skx`> i was mistaken :) i thiought you wanted to know the copy paste shortcut :) sorry
[00:46] <zeidoz> bgamari: i would look in /etc/init.d for the start up job
[00:46] <HowardTheDuck> is the new ubuntu compatible with laptops with optimus graphics switching, between intel and nvidia
[00:46] <OerHeks> !it | ALFI0
[00:46] <bgamari> Is there no way to get Upstart to tell you what jobs it is starting?
[00:47] <bgamari> I've tried passing it --verbose on the kernel command line to no avail
[00:47] <ALFI0> ma su ubuntu it son tutti transessuali e poi mi piace ROMPERE IL CAZZO e parlare in un altra lingua
[00:47] <OerHeks> HowardTheDuck, yes, see bumblebee  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee & the irc channel #bumblebee here on freenode
[00:48] <ALFI0> e poi sto aspettando che mo arriva un coglione col nick super hacker che non ha di meglio da fare nella vita che rompere la minkia a me, vuole il mio cazzo sto frocio di merda ma ha paura a chiedermelo
[00:48] <bgamari> zeidoz: I'm supposed to do a brute force search through all 100 jobs (no even counting native upstart jobs)?
[00:48] <escott> aaa, does it not appear in nautilus? have you tried the command "udisks --mount /dev/disks/by-uuid/whatever"
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> !es | ALFI0
[00:48] <grimeton> is there something like packages.debian.org for ubuntu?

[00:49] <ActionParsnip> grimeton: packages.ubuntu.com
[00:49] <grimeton> ActionParsnip: thanks
[00:49] <bgamari> Surely there much be a way to get Upstart to tell you what jobs it is starting, no?
[00:49] <Boyo> I am installing Ubuntu.  It's asking to partition my current hard drive, which has Windows 7 installed.  It's asking me to size the partitions using a slider, but the partitions are not even named!
[00:50] <Boyo> So I don't know which partition will be which size when I am done.
[00:50] <escott> Boyo, if you boot to the livecd you can use gparted directly
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> Boyo: If you use disk manager in Win7, you can resize the partition there then install to the free space
[00:50] <ALFI0> dont install ubuntu, it sux use windows 7 more secure, u get hacked with ubuntu
[00:50] <escott> Boyo, I have some vague memory that those sliders where really confusing.
[00:51] <Boyo> About how much space should I expect a new installation of Ubuntu to use?
[00:51] <Boyo> (I'm actually booted to the LiveCD now)
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> Boyo: mine is about 4Gb here, giving ubuntu about 15Gb is plenty :)
[00:51] <Boyo> Sounds good
[00:51] <Boyo> It's literally two partitions side-by-side with no label on either
[00:51] <Boyo> They are even the same color
[00:52] <ALFI0> froci guardoni ce ne sono ho un cazzo enorme per il loro culo piatto
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> !es | ALFI0
[00:53] <john___> why upon chromium installation it ask me to remove a language pack and ffmpeg codec? is it ok that i won't install them?
[00:53] <ALFI0> es un cazzo italy here
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> !ops | ALFI0 swearing in Spanish
[00:53] <john___> asks*
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> john___: if you reinstall it after, is it ok?
[00:53] <krababbel> Boyo: better do that in windows beforehand ntfs is not 100% safe in linux
[00:53] <ALFI0> aio merda mostrati che ti faccio il culo a te e agli amici tuoi merde umane, ti sego la testa xD dai merda
[00:54] <xangua> ActionParsnip: didn't knew italian was the new spanish
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> xangua: google translate exists ;)
[00:54] <john___> ActionParsnip: well, i can install chromium anyway, i was just wondering why
[00:54] <Boyo> So I should not create the partition as part of the installation?
[00:54] <Boyo> Ok, I'll try it in Windows then.
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> john___: are there any bugs reported
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> xangua: you get the idea :)
[00:54] <john___> ActionParsnip: i.e. if not uninstalling them will cause trouble to chromium
[00:55] <Boyo> Thanks all
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> john___: worth a try
[00:55] <krababbel> Boyo: no problem, it is in computer managment in win 7
[00:56]  * ActionParsnip wishes people would plan partitions
[00:58] <krababbel> well the installer and download page should have some first steps for beginners and many other people not reinstalling ubuntu :)
[00:59] <lorecaster> I just updated my nvidia drivers, and now my whole computer is displaying in chinese?!
[01:00] <grimeton> lorecaster: the chinese fonts are for free with this update
[01:00] <lorecaster> please instruct with how to eliminate them? or revert back to english? my mandrin is a little rusty
[01:01] <grimeton> lorecaster: is everything in chinese now or is it more a graphics setup problem?
[01:01] <bgamari> How does one get mountall to spit out debug output?
[01:01] <bgamari> It seems to be mountall which is causing the thrashing
[01:01] <grimeton> bgamari: man mountall?
[01:01] <lorecaster> all my system information... every window has a mixture, pidgin is all in chinese, file, edit, view, all in chiense...
[01:02] <lorecaster> seems as though the system font selection is what changed... the imputs appear normal
[01:02] <grimeton> lorecaster: you changed the locale or something?
[01:02] <bgamari> grimeton: Try it
[01:02] <bgamari> grimeton: It is perhaps the most useless man page you have ever seen
[01:02] <grimeton> bgamari: seems like a deja-vu to me
[01:03] <grimeton> lorecaster: if nothing else works: press ctrl+alt+f1, login as user, run sudo su - to become root and then run: dpkg-reconfigure locales and set the default locale you need, after that reboot
[01:03] <lorecaster> in system settings, the blue flag with what looks like the UN logo on it is in chinese, the "HArdware drivers" is in chinese, and Ubunutu One logo
[01:03] <lorecaster> oh, and right-click is all chinese, too
[01:04] <grimeton> lorecaster: looks like your desktop is in chinese...
[01:04] <lorecaster> seems that way. allt his from updating nvidia prop drivers??
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> lorecaster: doubt it
[01:04] <lorecaster> that is, seriously, all i've done since the last restart.
[01:05] <grimeton> cd
[01:05] <aaa>  how do i create a "windows share" on my ubuntu machine?
[01:05] <lorecaster> have a paste-bin, this looks suspicious
[01:05] <lorecaster> http://pastebin.com/8TeC6Rd3
[01:05] <lorecaster> looks like ALL my locales were lost, except chinese ones. CN and SG
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> lorecaster: try running:   gnome-language-selector
[01:06] <lorecaster> all chinese.
[01:06] <lorecaster> all i can read there is english in the first tab, and english (canada) in the second tab.
[01:06] <Sheldon23> lorecaster, Check your logs, and firewall logs to see if you've been compromised.
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> lorecaster: is English in the drop downs?
[01:07] <lorecaster> oh for god sakes.
[01:07] <lorecaster> yes, it is.
[01:07] <bgamari> How does one send SIGINT during boot?
[01:07] <Sheldon23> Hmm.  Then you obviously have to do a full reinstall.
[01:07] <lorecaster> -twitch- that's painful.
[01:08] <lorecaster> alrighty. I was afraid of that.
[01:08] <Sheldon23> But I'd take a look at the logs in any case, just to see how or what happened.
[01:08] <lorecaster> I already have my live-install USB ready, see you all in a few hours, then. :'(
[01:08] <lorecaster> okay, where, which and how?
[01:08] <Sheldon23> /var/log
[01:09] <escott> bgamari, kill -INT pid
[01:09] <Sheldon23> Was Firewall enabled?
[01:09] <aaa>  how do i create a "windows share" on my ubuntu machine?
[01:09] <lorecaster> "/Var/log is a directory"
[01:10] <Sheldon23> aaa, use Samba. https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html
[01:10] <Sheldon23> Yes.  The log files are in that directory.
[01:10] <lorecaster> if my system is already in chinese...?
[01:10] <lorecaster> I can't do much with this as it is.
[01:10] <bgamari> escott: I don't have a console
[01:10] <Sheldon23> Are the logs in Chinese too?
[01:10] <lorecaster> http://pastebin.com/SukkjmVL
[01:11] <escott> bgamari, you want the equivalent of ctrl-c for a gui
[01:11] <lorecaster> whcih logs do you want to see?
[01:11] <bgamari> escott: No, I want to send SIGINT to a starting Upstart job
[01:11] <Sheldon23> What does "auth.log" say
[01:12] <lorecaster> http://pastebin.com/NmxJecVb
[01:12] <escott> bgamari, ive never heard of a gui for "kill" so you probably just want to start a terminal
[01:12] <bgamari> or SIGQUIT or SIGKILL or something
[01:12] <bgamari> escott: Again, this has nothing to do with a GUI. I would be thrilled if I could get anywhere near starting X
[01:13] <escott> !xy | bgamari the assumption when you ask "how do I send a signal" is that you have a working system
[01:14] <Xirrin> Anyone have a recommendation for a good free cross-platform backup utility? I'd like to be able to make searchable backup images, but everything seems to be non-searchable (CloneZilla) or just files and not images (CrashPlan).
[01:14] <Sheldon23> You'll have to go through that log file to check and see whether any session was opened when you weren't using the computer
[01:14] <bgamari> ubottu: The problem is an incredibly vague symptom: the machine inexplicably stops booting right after starting plymouth
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> Xirrin: could use rsync, its a simple file by file copy
[01:15] <BigBass> It took me a couple of hours to find the correct commands to type into my terminal to get my Broadcom 802.11 wireless driver to work on 12.4. Is anybody else having  these same problems ?
[01:15] <lorecaster> most of this morning.
[01:15] <bgamari> escott: Rather, see above
[01:15] <lorecaster> ... all day, actually.
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> bgamari: press ALT+F2 and run:  xkill     click what you want to kill
[01:15] <bgamari> No, again, I do not have a working system
[01:15] <lorecaster> I didn't use my computer, I was out of town, in fact, until 17:00 today
[01:15] <bgamari> I want to send a signal to an Upstart job during boot
[01:15] <Xirrin> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure how I feel about a file-by-file copy though. Easy to restore a full backup from a downed machine?
[01:16] <escott> bgamari, what does it say when you hit the up arrow? does !sysrq work
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> Xirrin: yes, just copy the files back.
[01:16] <escott> Xirrin, why do you want image backup?
[01:16] <Sheldon23> Hmm.  I'm not sure what time zone you're in because it shows that you've been logged in many times as root on May 17 around 2200 hours
[01:16] <lorecaster> oh, that was when i was trying to figure out my NVIDIA issues.
[01:17] <lorecaster> i've been in and out of terminal since 17:00
[01:17] <Xirrin> ActionParsnip: I ask because I know a lot of times those file-by-file copies don't include any type of partition information or boot sectors so you still have to reformat the drive and reinstall things.
[01:17] <bgamari> sysrq works, one moment, I need to reboot
[01:17] <Xirrin> escott: Want to be able to simply and quickly restore a machine if I nuke it.
[01:17] <bgamari> escott: ^^
[01:17] <Sheldon23> It also shows a root session that's opened May 17th 0600 then intermittently all the way until 1700
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> Xirrin: true, you'll need to reinstate grub. You could make an ISO of the whole partition I guess
[01:18] <lorecaster> when I was out of town :S
[01:18] <bgamari> But seriously, is there no way to send a signal to an Upstart job?
[01:18] <bgamari> With SysV you could just use Ctrl-C
[01:18] <escott> if you can get a clean shutdown you might be able to figure out what is going on during the boot by checking the logs. there is also the bootchart utility. you could install that within a chroot, boot it and let it hang and then sysrq out and that might give some details on what is going on
[01:19] <Sheldon23> Looks like that's when it's happened.
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> lorecaster: do you have the root account enabled?
[01:19] <lorecaster> I am always logged in as a user, and only EVER access terminal as SUDO when necessary
[01:19] <lorecaster> otherwise, all else is default.
[01:19] <bgamari> escott: The terminal just shows the result of fsck on /
[01:19] <lorecaster> i never mess with users.
[01:19] <Sheldon23> Is your password easily guessed?
[01:19] <caesar__> what's the best theme manager (iyo) for 10.04
[01:20] <bgamari> escott: and some warnings from rpcbind which are due to another bug
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> caesar__: there is one built in...
[01:20] <Sheldon23> Was Firewall enabled?  You can check under Admin-Firewall.
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> caesar__: or myunity can do it
[01:20] <lorecaster> it's an english pronounciation of a japanese word. all letters, not found in english, 8 characters.
[01:20] <bgamari> escott: Yes, sysrq works. swapper is running
[01:21] <lorecaster> check how?
[01:21] <bgamari> escott: which makes sense since the harddisk is going wild
[01:21] <caesar__> ActionParsnip: are you talking about the appearance preferences?
[01:21] <Sheldon23> Click Administration -- Firewall.  See if i's enabled.
[01:21] <escott> bgamari, im not sure what i can do but refer you to the logs. i dont know what would be happening at that point in the boot
[01:21] <lorecaster> using gnome3
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> caesar__: sure, or myunity under the theme tab
[01:21] <lorecaster> I don't have the original gnome pulldowns
[01:22] <bgamari> escott: Is there no way to kill the task?
[01:22] <escott> bgamari, how do you know what task it is
[01:22] <caesar__> ActionParsnip: this is 10.04... i dont have unity
[01:22] <Sheldon23> Okay.  Can you go to program list, and type "firewall"
[01:22] <bgamari> escott: Point taken; I suppose it's asynchronous
[01:22] <_ProtekNickz> lol
[01:22] <Sheldon23> by clicking on that button on the top left (forgot what it's called)
[01:22] <lorecaster> nothing appears
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> caesar__: then there is the appearence app in the menus
[01:22] <Sheldon23> and searching for "firewall"
[01:22] <lorecaster> I never installed anything of firewall yet (new install)
[01:23] <bgamari> escott: There's no way to convince upstart to spawn a shell to investigate from?
[01:23] <caesar__> so default theme manager is better than emerald or gstyles?
[01:23] <escott> bgamari, you can always change to boot to recovery but thats a different boot process
[01:23] <escott> bgamari, its either a normal boot or it isnt
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> caesar__: its in the default install, it wil therefore gel with the OS as that is it's job
[01:24] <Sheldon23> Hmm.  Okay, bottom line looks like there's been some unauthorized root access.  Best thing to do is full reinstall, strong password, diff from previous, enable Firewall, perform security updates.
[01:24] <bgamari> escott: sysrq-f killed it
[01:24] <bgamari> escott: It's continuing to boot so hopefully I'll know which task it was soon
[01:25] <bgamari> escott: It was apparently find presumably started by mounted-tmp
[01:25] <lorecaster> understood. I really appreciate it. I thought people didn't hack linux. I'm just a home-user with no other reason to be hacked other than random chance... Cable modem, static IP maybe? could pose a problem?
[01:26] <bgamari> escott: huh, /tmp must be huge on this machine. weird
[01:26] <_ProtekNickz> anyone know how to get the Ubuntu-Tweak working, meaning the LogonSetting, all Disabled right after installing it? and i can't figure it out
[01:26] <Sheldon23> Well, even if Linux is generally more secure than Windows, any system without Firewall enabled and a strong password is susceptible.
[01:27] <lorecaster> understood. I shall do a fresh-install. my keyboard issues appear to have resolved.
[01:27] <stars69> what is the name of eggdrop package anyonw know?
[01:27] <OerHeks> lorecaster, you "updated nvidia driver" , how did you do that?
[01:27] <lorecaster> terminal
[01:28] <stars69> sudo apt-get install eggdrop1.6.21
[01:28] <stars69> Reading package lists... Done
[01:28] <stars69> Building dependency tree
[01:28] <stars69> Reading state information... Done
[01:28] <stars69> E: Unable to locate package eggdrop1.6.21
[01:28] <FloodBot1> stars69: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:28] <T_H_X> stars69: sudo apt-get install eggdrop
[01:28] <Sheldon23> Also turn off SSH if you don't need it.
[01:28] <lorecaster> how do i turn it off?
[01:28] <lorecaster> I never use SSH
[01:29] <_ProtekNickz> service ssh stop
[01:29] <lorecaster> permanent? even after restart?
[01:29] <Sheldon23> Try typing this into terminal to check if root account was enabled accidentally: sudo cat /etc/shadow
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> lorecaster: it's not installed by default, you can uninstall openssh-server if you don't use it
[01:29] <wifioregon> My friend wants to install ubuntu on an old netbook but doesn't have a USB flash drive. Is there any other way he can install?
[01:30] <Sheldon23> If root shows a "!" instead of an encrypted password, then root account's been enabled somehow.
[01:30] <_ProtekNickz> Burn it to CD
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> wifioregon: USB CD driver, SD card
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> wifioregon: PXE boot if you can setup a PXE server
[01:30] <wifioregon> thanks.. I didnt think about the SD card
[01:31] <Xirrin> lorecaster: I have to agree with what was mentioned here earlier. The ONLY way that you know 100% that you are secure is a full reformat, a new STRONG password that you share with no one, and turning off all remote access that isn't actively needed while keeping those that you do need as secure as possible (HTTPS instead of HTTP, SSH v2 instead of v2, running firewall, etc)
[01:31] <_ProtekNickz> Anyone know how to get the Ubuntu-Tweak working, meaning the LogonSetting, all Disabled right after installing it? and i can't figure it out
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> _ProtekNickz: i don't believe  ubuntu tweak is supported here, its a 3rd party app
[01:32] <Xirrin> lorecaster: Also, something to consider is if you're wired or wireless. Wireless is not nearly as secure as people want to believe it is, even with all the "bells and whistles" turned on.
[01:32] <_ProtekNickz> i realised that, but was just asking for some friendly advice
[01:33] <Sheldon23> _ProtekNickz, Add the ppa. Refresh package list, and install.
[01:33] <Sheldon23> _ProtekNickz, http://www.noobslab.com/2011/12/install-ubuntu-tweak-06-on-ubuntu-1204.html
[01:34] <_ProtekNickz> Xirrin: i agree wireless is bull dust
[01:34] <netmk> stars69: just do  sudo apt-get install eggdrop
[01:34] <netmk> stars69: it'll fetch the right packages.
[01:35] <sbaker48> I have a Dell PowerEdge T105 (video is onboard ATI ES1000), and when I install Ubuntu 11.10 the colors are too bright. Especially light gray is impossible to distinguish from white. When I install Ubuntu 11.4 I did not have this problem. Settings on the monitor don't help at all. Any ideas of what I can try?
[01:35] <_ProtekNickz> Sheldon23 ive done all that, the install went fine, seemed to anyway, it's the Login Setting All items Disabled?
[01:35] <undecim> Is there some way with empathy to ignore the freenode login message from NickServ, without ignoring everything?
[01:35] <aaa> how do i take ownership of a directory?
[01:36] <Xirrin> undecim: That's a damn good question.
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> sbaker48: did you upgrade or is it a clean install?
[01:36] <stars69> netmk, thanks
[01:36] <glenford> is there a way to remove bottom panel from gnome-classic
[01:36] <netmk> aaa: man chown
[01:36] <escott> aaa sudo chown username:username in general you should not do this outside of your $HOME
[01:36] <sbaker48> ActionParsnip, clean install
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> glenford: sure, just right click it and remove the panel
[01:36] <undecim> aaa: A better question: why do you need to?
[01:36] <Xirrin> aaa: what netmk and escott said
[01:37] <Sheldon23> _ProtekNickz, Ah, I don't have a Ubuntu copy at hand to test.  Maybe someone else could try it out and help you.
[01:37] <glenford> ActionParsnip: thats the problem i cant right click it
[01:37] <Xirrin> aaa: quick explination is "sudo chown USERNAME:USERNAME /DIRECTORY", but "man chown" is the best way to explain it
[01:37] <mi3> HI!
[01:37] <Kipo> Hello everyone, good evening.
[01:38] <_ProtekNickz> Sheldon23: ty for the help anyhows, ill just have to keep trying lol
[01:38] <Kipo> Hi there.
[01:38] <xangua> glenford: tried holding shift or alt¿
[01:38] <BentFranklin> Does sshd keep access logs like apache?  Where?
[01:38] <mun> hi
[01:38] <mun> i'm a bit confused about GPLv3. if i modify parts of the code, would my modifications need to be released as well?
[01:38] <aaa> created a shared directory in \srv and the guide said to do "sudo chown nobody.nogroup /srv/samba/share/". now i can't put anything inside
[01:38] <sbaker48> My guess is that is either has something to do with a new version of the ATI driver, or maybe that color calibration stuff? But I don't know what that is all about
[01:38] <xangua> !ot | mun
[01:38] <glenford> ActionParsnip: dosnt work
[01:38] <escott> mun, if you distribute yes (this is true of all gpl variants)
[01:39] <mun> escott, distribute meaning? what if i'm a freelancer?
[01:39] <undecim> aaa: what guide are you following?
[01:39] <escott> mun, in fact you have to do a bit more. if you distribute you must release the source code and build scripts
[01:39] <mun> escott, release to whom? my client or the public?
[01:39] <aaa> got a link here to https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html
[01:39] <_ProtekNickz> Sheldon23: OMG! im a DOLT, theirs a button top right to unlock the controls on the 'Login Settings' form, heh! it's workig now
[01:39] <netmk> usually you must provide a way for people to obtain a copy
[01:40] <Sheldon23> _ProtekNickz, ah, brilliant!
[01:40] <netmk> either by e-mail or you put 'em on an FTP or webhost.
[01:40] <escott> mun, depends. is it work for hire? if it is then the company owns the ip (check with a lawyer on that, but thats true of most work for hire contracts) so they can use it internally as much as they want and it is within the same "person" and so is not distributed
[01:40] <Jordan_U> mun: To whoever you distribute the modified code to. So it sounds like your client in this case. Please continue this discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic though.
[01:40] <Kipo> Guys... what would you do if "/start/init.d/kdm start" get you a "no such file or directory" error while trying to start KDE?
[01:40] <goddard> sessioninstall wont update its just stuck in my update manager
[01:40] <undecim> aaa: What you want is probably chmod, so that other users can add files to the directory...
[01:40] <glenford> ActionParsnip: i cant seem to get it to work
[01:40] <mun> Jordan_U, ok
[01:41] <undecim> aaa: chmod a+w /path/to/directory i think does what oyu want
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> sbaker48: try the boot option:  acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi=Linux
[01:41] <Kipo> I just want to start KDE without using startx, so I can go to the login screen.
[01:41] <Kipo> But "/etc/init.d/kdm start" gives me that error.
[01:41] <wilee-nilee> question isn't the terminal command to open the Ubuntu Software Center, Ubuntu Software Center
[01:41] <undecim> aaa: (put "sudo" in front of that)
[01:41] <krux> glenford, xangua said what you should do.. try holding shift or alt ?
[01:41] <aaa> so it allows access by anyone?
[01:41] <undecim> aaa: Depending on your use case, you may instead want to just use user directories
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> wilee-nilee: gksudo software-properties-gtk
[01:42] <undecim> aaa: It will allow anyone to create files and filders in the directory
[01:42] <glenford> Krux: that dosnt work
[01:42] <aaa> that's what i wanted. thanks
[01:42] <wilee-nilee> ActionParsnip, cool thanks it is crashing just need the error.
[01:42] <undecim> aaa: But if for example, user "aaa" puts a file in the directory, "bbb" won't be able to delete it
[01:42] <krux> try the start button ?.. and right click
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> wilee-nilee: try upgrading in CLI first,then try the GUI
[01:42] <krux> that's how i did it
[01:43] <undecim> aaa: File permissions can also control who can view or edit the file
[01:43] <wilee-nilee> ActionParsnip, I am all upgraded, that command open the software sources though.
[01:43] <goddard> sessioninstall wont update its just stuck in my update manager
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> wilee-nilee: then run:   gksudo software-center-gtk3
[01:44] <wilee-nilee> ActionParsnip, thanks I will try that
[01:44] <amikrop> Hello, how can I add an item to the launcher?
[01:45] <undecim> How can I have empathy highlight messages prefixed with "undecim:"?
[01:45] <rafael> a
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> amikrop: drag it from dash to the unity panel
[01:47] <ameoba> trying to install some packages.  keep getting "503 service unavailable" from us.archive.ubuntu.com - is it just me or is something broken?
[01:49] <grimeton> ameoba: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
[01:49] <amikrop> ActionParsnip: It doesn't stay, it disappears
[01:50] <amikrop> ActionParsnip: and I can't find this app when I minimize it
[01:50] <cvprog> don't be mad... press ctrl+alt+sysrq then let go of all but the alt button and than press either k o i ... etc... if holding alt didn't do anything try holding ctrl !!!!!!! ;D
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> amikrop: if you run the app from dash, you can then right click the icon and tell it to stay
[01:50] <wilee-nilee> ActionParsnip, that last command work got a large amount of info in the error thanks, time to google foo. :)
[01:50] <amikrop> ActionParsnip: that icon never appears
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> amikrop: does it have an icon in dash?
[01:50] <cvprog> by the way how do i put to sleep from keyboard ?
[01:50] <amikrop> ActionParsnip: in a specific app which I unlocked it from dash earlier
[01:50] <amikrop> ActionParsnip: no
[01:51] <amikrop> ActionParsnip: ee yes
[01:51] <glenford> i solved my problem
[01:51] <amikrop> ActionParsnip: it has an icon in dash. it's just I "unlocked it from launcher" earlier, that's when that started to happen
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> cvprog: try:     sudo pm-suspend
[01:51] <glenford> Alt+Super+Right Click is what works for me :D
[01:51] <ameoba> grimeton : thx.  Looks like I've got problems.
[01:51] <ameoba> fix 'em in the morning
[01:52] <amikrop> ActionParsnip: actually it just happened with google chrome. I unlocked libreoffice writer, too, but when I ran it from dash its icon appeared normally in the launcher
[01:52] <cvprog> ActionParsnip: pm command not found
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> cvprog: its a hypen, not a space....
[01:53] <amikrop> ActionParsnip: Now it happened with LibreOffice too.
[01:53] <amikrop> ActionParsnip: that's really weird
[01:56] <sbaker48> ActionParsnip, I tried the boot parameters, and nothing seems to have changed
[01:56] <amikrop> ActionParsnip: so, any ideas why they never appear?
[01:57] <cvprog> ActionParsnip: that worked but when i try to return to my desktop it does nothing it does not wake up
[01:57] <cvprog> ActionParsnip: i used to do cd /etc/acpi/; sudo ./sleep.sh
[01:58] <cvprog> ActionParsnip: but that also did the same thing, not waking up
[01:58] <amikrop> So, anybody knows why I am losing some apps after I minimize them? They don't show in launcher.
[01:58] <cvprog> ActionParsnip: thats why i asked how to go to suspend, this problem started after updating to 12.04
[01:58] <amikrop> That started when I unlocked them from launcher. But bow they never show, even when I run the app from dash
[01:59] <amikrop> So when I minimize it, I lose it (cause it's not in launcher)
[01:59] <amikrop> * now

[02:15] <blitzkrieg79> i'm building a domain controller for windows boxes out of an ubuntu server, but i think i don't have to use ubuntu server to get it done, can anyone confirm or deny this?
[02:15] <sayz> login
[02:15] <blitzkrieg79> meaning i could probably do the same job with regular ubuntu as opposed to ubuntu server
[02:16] <escott> blitzkrieg79, sure its all just packages you could start with minimal and build up or start with desktop and add server
[02:16] <blitzkrieg79> cool, because its going to be a virtualbox on a freebsd machine
[02:16] <blitzkrieg79> and for the life of me i can't find a working link i can use to download an iso for ubuntu server with wget
[02:17] <blitzkrieg79> but i can find one for regular ubuntu all day
[02:17] <blitzkrieg79> the machine in question has no opticals
[02:17] <Timothy> blitzkrieg79, you can get the same job done, but the server install will give you a slimmer install - more resources dedicated to the task, less to a gui
[02:17] <blitzkrieg79> icky, i have to use a gui?
[02:18] <Timothy> for desktop ya....
[02:18] <blitzkrieg79> using gui makes me feel like a noob
[02:18] <blitzkrieg79> but, that'll work
[02:18] <Timothy> dump your iso to a USB stick - that'll make you happy
[02:18] <KM0201> blitzkrieg766: well, depending on what you're asking, it may be obvious you're a newb
[02:19] <blitzkrieg79> <-ubernewb, sudo shut up!
[02:19] <blitzkrieg79> jkjk
[02:19] <blitzkrieg79> i was telling meself to shut up, in case that wasn't clear.
[02:19] <Timothy> try http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu
[02:20] <blitzkrieg79> lol@timothy
[02:20] <blitzkrieg79> i have a multiboot usb key in my pocket right now, with all KINDS of lovely things on it.
[02:20] <blitzkrieg79> i tried putting the iso on a usb stick but for some reason i couldn't mount it on the freebsd box

[02:35] <CousinLarry> hi, i got about 25 pdf files in a dir, is there a way to select all of them and say print in someway, i basically want to print all the files but without having to open each and press print ?
[02:36] <escott> CousinLarry, lpr *.pdf
[02:36] <wormmd> CousinLarry: Is there not a right-click action for that?
[02:36] <wormmd> CousinLarry: or what escott said.
[02:36] <wormmd> :)
[02:36] <CousinLarry> wormmd dont see one
[02:37] <CousinLarry> would lpr print them correct as pdf or try to print the contents as ascii ?
[02:37] <lil> [help] aubrey_
[02:38] <escott> CousinLarry, I would imagine that a modern lpr would convert to the appropriate format. alternately you could run a for loop to convert pdf2ps | lpr

[02:40] <david> I just installed Luninux OS and I am getting prompted with more than one update. I have one for Ubuntu 12.04 and I also noticed a notification icon pop up at the bottom of my screen that says updates. Should I do both, or one of them?
[02:40] <escott> david, they are probably the same
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> david: one or the other
[02:41] <david> I thought they were differenct since the one for Ubuntu said Upgrade. Okay cool. thanks

[02:46] <caesar__> every other link i click goes offline

[02:47] <caesar__> not just main page
[02:47] <Timothy> yes
[02:47] <caesar__> hmm

[02:49] <ms-daisy> Hello. What's the best way to get Flash working in Firefox 12.0? Right now it's using 100% CPU.  Is Flash-Aid the best option?
[02:50] <wormmd> Timothy: when I open .Xresources with vim, the old crazy terminal colors are applied. When I open .config/awesome/rc.lua, my vim colorscheme is respected.
[02:51] <wormmd> the point is, only ,Xresources is weird. Other script files get properly highlighted.
[02:53] <Timothy> wormmd: can't really help you unfortunately...I'm too lazy to change my colors as 95% of my linux work is client/server admin related.  interested to hear how it works out tho...
[02:53] <Timothy> caesar, i'm assuming you've cleared your cache and all that wonderful stuff?
[02:54] <wormmd> Timothy: just had a thought: I changed the colors. Wonder what happens if I remove the color lines entirely.
[02:55] <Timothy> wormmd: taking it back to the defaults & building it back up slowly? you may have a conflict b/n the two (although I'm just shooting in the dark here...again, not an SME here.)
[02:56] <cHiNo> hi guys, ive just installed ubuntu to my laptop and im a new user to this OS. I was wondering if someone could assist me on a few issues i have?
[02:56] <wormmd> Opening that file doesn't respect the actual .Xresources (no colors specified) or vim's colorscheme.
[02:56] <david> okay I am getting an error trying to update.   "Unable to get exclusive lock this usally means that another package mangment application like apt-get is already running. Please close that application first"
[02:56] <Timothy> cHiNo, go ahead
[02:56] <wormmd> What file does xrdb update?
[02:57] <wormmd> david: ps -A | grep apt
[02:57] <david> type that in?
[02:57] <wormmd> david: yes.
[02:58] <david> ok
[02:58] <wormmd> david: then kill -9 <pid, ...>
[02:59] <cHiNo> hi TIM, my first issue is that the OZ seems to be runnning slow...choppy sorta thing...like it seems to have a slight delay when u click on a program or anything really and whe i go to play video on the player the audio comes out smooth but the video seems choppy!
[02:59] <cHiNo> *OS
[02:59] <david> never used that command before ive been out of linux for a while now.  is the comand kill -9 <pid. ...> and do i put anything in for the ...
[03:00] <Timothy> cHiNo, assuming your system meets the minimum requirements?
[03:00] <cHiNo> yes
[03:00] <wormmd> david: kill -9 (insert comma-separated list of pids related to apt here)
[03:00] <Timothy> cHiNo: have you installed any proprietary drivers?
[03:01] <david> pids?
[03:01] <wormmd> david: process ids, which you get from running ps -A | grep apt
[03:02] <bazhang> david, thats is not the way to fix your issue
[03:02] <david> after running the first command I get this: 2569 ?        00:00:11 aptd
[03:02] <wormmd> bazhang: just callin' 'em like I see 'em with limited information.
[03:02] <bazhang> david, make sure any other instances of apt are finished running. you do NOT want to kill -9 them
[03:02] <cHiNo> TIM: No, i believe i havent installed any proprietary drivers....how do i do this plz?
[03:02] <bazhang> wormmd, better to say nothing
[03:03] <wormmd> bazhang: you brougth up a good point.
[03:03] <wormmd> bazhang: and the limited information refered to the information I was given.
[03:03] <david> can I just log out and log back in and any proccess that were running would be stoped/
[03:03] <bazhang> wormmd, its a common problem, nothing esoteric about it
[03:04] <bazhang> david, better to let the apt instance finish
[03:04] <david> I had hit canle on the update manager by mistake while it said waiting in the prompt area by the way
[03:04] <david> So maby the problem has to do with that
[03:05] <Timothy> cHiNo, assuming you've installed ubuntu 12.04, open the dash and type "proprietary".  select the "Additional Drivers" icon that appears & follow steps there. let me know if you need help there
[03:05] <cHiNo> TIM, ok ill try now...thnx
[03:05] <bazhang> david, make sure that synaptic package manager, ubuntu software center are not running currently
[03:07] <Timothy> blitzkrieg79: any word on some ideas?

[03:33] <agrohe21> Hi, I downloaded the latest ISO and installed on a VMware instance.  I let the install go and now I only have a terminal window.  No X. No errors either
[03:34] <Timothy> agrohe21, what do you see in the terminal window?
[03:34] <agrohe21> a prompt to login
[03:34] <agrohe21> I do so
[03:35] <agrohe21> then that is it
[03:35] <agrohe21> I just ran startx and it worked
[03:35] <agrohe21> not sure why I have to do that?
[03:36] <bohemian9485> does anybody know the reason why bluetoothd would fail with the message D-Bus setup failed: Name already in use?
[03:36] <agrohe21> Timothy: other Linux OS's seem to boot directly into a window manager or let you chose
[03:37] <Timothy> agrohe21: that should be the case with Ubuntu as well....I've installed several VMs in the last few days for testing and they all seem fine - I'm using VirtualBox, but that shouldnt make a diff.
[03:38] <imMute> agrohe21: which ISO did you use?
[03:38] <agrohe21> I also saw this with Kubuntu
[03:38] <agrohe21> so i went to basic Ubuntu
[03:39] <VMERSINTO> anyone have video playback issues in 11.10?
[03:39] <agrohe21> imMute:  ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64
[03:40] <imMute> agrohe21: interesting.  maybe X is crashing on boot?  check the Xorg log.   does Ubuntu have /etc/inittab anymore? maybe the runlevel is getting set to 3 somehow...
[03:41] <TomatoKetchup> damn, anyone know a fix for Wacom devices not functional after you suspend?
[03:42] <TomatoKetchup> seems like this has been an ongoing problem for years...
[03:42] <Takyoji[laptop]> Any reason that I have GIMP 2.6 instead of 2.8 on 12.04?
[03:42] <agrohe21> imMute: no /etc/inittab
[03:42] <TomatoKetchup> Takyoji[laptop], because gimp 2.8 just came out?
[03:42] <agrohe21> imMute: where is the xorg.log?
[03:43] <zesaver> hello all
[03:43] <TomatoKetchup> Takyoji[laptop], you could install it manually should you wish

[03:45] <netmk> agrohe21: /var/log/Xorg.0.log usually
[03:45] <Takyoji[laptop]> Know where there's a repository then?

[03:46] <worm> Excuse me, can I install a new kernel manually to my LTS?
[03:47] <ashickur-noor> yap you can
[03:47] <ashickur-noor> I am using 3.5.5 in 12.04
[03:47] <ashickur-noor> :)
[03:47] <ashickur-noor> @worm
[03:47] <bohemian9485> ashickur-noor: how do you install new kernel?
[03:47] <xmad> google imo
[03:47] <ashickur-noor> Ubuntu give pre compile kernel
[03:48] <agrohe21> netmk: imMute nothing in Xorg log.  no errors anyway
[03:48] <ashickur-noor> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[03:48] <worm> ashickur-noor: What should I do after finished compiling?
[03:48] <ashickur-noor> here you will get the *.deb files
[03:48] <ashickur-noor> @worm no need to compil
[03:48] <ashickur-noor> e
[03:49] <Ben64> installing a new kernel is unsupported and has the ability to break the system. you shouldn't do that unless there is something in a newer kernel you really need
[03:49] <bazhang> ashickur-noor, please stop using the enter key after two or three words
[03:49] <netmk> agrohe21: what do you see when you type 'runlevel' ?
[03:49] <worm> ashickur-noor: But I want to configure some of the settings.
[03:50] <bazhang> worm, that will no longer be an LTS should you modify the kernel
[03:50] <bohemian9485> i did a manual kernel upgrade once, and i got a bsod lol
[03:50] <agrohe21> netmk: N 2
[03:50] <ashickur-noor> @bazhang I don't get it
[03:50]  * ashickur-noor away
[03:51] <bazhang> ashickur-noor, dont use the enter key as punctuation and disable that away message as well
[03:51] <ashickur-noor> ok
[03:52] <xmad> Is the original Ubuntu 10.04 iso available somewhere? I mean the original one that went out on 2010, not the one that was updated on February this day.
[03:52] <bongsawyer> Im stoned off the bong
[03:52] <bongsawyer> cheers
[03:52] <VMERSINTO> mee too
[03:52] <bazhang> bongsawyer, wrong channel
[03:52] <bongsawyer> bazhang: cheers mate
[03:52]  * bongsawyer tokes
[03:53] <bongsawyer> was that necessary?
[03:53] <bazhang> bongsawyer, stop it. this is ubuntu support only.
[03:53] <netmk> hmm weird, as if the login manager was removed from runlevel 2
[03:53] <agrohe21> netmk: would runlevel 2 normally boot into a window manager?
[03:54] <netmk> yeah, it does on mine.
[03:54] <Mike9863> I've created a file /home/user/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkrc with the line gtk_color_scheme = "bg_color:#eeeeee\nselected_bg_color:#a2b8ca\nbase_color:#F7F7F7" in order to overwrite some settings in the theme I'm using, however the changes I made don't seem to have applied. How can I go about overriding my current theme with a local settings file?
[03:56] <worm> I feel strange that my system can boot extremely fast(30s) before I installed kubuntu-desktop. It took me almost 1min50s to boot now. Why?
[03:56] <agrohe21> netmk: I am applying all updates and then will reboot.... maybe that solves it...
[03:57] <worm> It seems the kubuntu slow my ubuntu down.
[03:57] <xmad> Nevermind my question. Piratebay comes to the rescue with the original ISO of Ubuntu 10.04 and plenty of seeders.  Thanks a lot.
[03:57] <tommyfun> worm: flip to the console, maybe something is timing out
[03:58] <cHiNo> i was wondering if n e one can help resolve an issue i have. when i watch video's on the media player it seems to be choppy...n e ideas plz would help?
[03:59] <worm> I am not so sure, but a kde desktop is as important to me as a gnome desktop, so I need to install them together, but the weird thing is that even though I selected lightdm as  my default login manager, it still load kdm when I boot.
[04:00] <cHiNo> i was wondering if n e one can help resolve an issue i have. when i watch video's on the media player it seems to be choppy...n e ideas plz would help?
[04:00] <tommyfun> there's a command I ran across the other day that'll change your login manager
[04:00] <worm> Every time I boot, I can see "load kdm [OK]""load lightdm [OK]""close kdm [OK]" or something like that..  The time between I choose ubuntu and see the loading image is much longer than before.
[04:03] <cHiNo> tomatoketchup, the ubuntu player and vlc, both of em wehn i watch video is choppy but audio fine
[04:04] <worm> tommyfun: I have no problem about the dm. My problem is about why my computer slow down after installed kubuntu-desktop.
[04:05] <tommyfun> what version?
[04:06] <TomatoKetchup> cHiNo, hrm, proprietary driver installed?
[04:07] <worm> tommyfun: 12.04LTS, Ubuntu studio.
[04:07] <trism> worm: the upstart scripts check /etc/X11/default-display-manager and then exit if they aren't it, so that's why you see it loading, it shouldn't slow anything down
[04:07] <cheese1756> Wait, Ubuntu Studio got updated?
[04:08] <TomatoKetchup> cheese1756, thougth someone said that hasn't been updated since likes 2011
[04:08] <TomatoKetchup> *thought
[04:08] <worm> cheese1756: Yes, definately...
[04:08] <cheese1756> That's what I thought
[04:09] <TomatoKetchup> ubuntustudio.org says otherwise, hrm
[04:09] <capunk> [HELP] forget keyring password T_T
[04:13] <somethinginteres> anyone know how to fix ~/.netrc permission errors
[04:14] <tommyfun> is compriz still running?  can you check the process table please
[04:15] <professor_> servlist
[04:15] <celthunder> somethinginteres: whats the error with it im guessing chmod if its permissions
[04:16] <muscae> Something wicked Happend!
[04:16] <alankila> so ... I don't suppose anyone else runs into a weekly issue or so where processes just begin stalling on an ubuntu precise server, like you might lose ntp sync, or can't access mail because gam_server froze up, or something
[04:17] <somethinginteres> celthunder: not much I can work out on my own. Just says "Bad permissions: .netrc" in a script I am using.
[04:18] <alankila> the system is virtual, other precise installs work fine, which makes this problem particularly difficult to debug. I may have to just reinstall or take all the virtual machines down and compare their configs
[04:18] <alankila> when the bug happens slabtop shows that kernel's task_struct has bloated out of all proportion, like just a moment ago its size was 150 MB, normally 1-2 MB
[04:19] <goddard> how can i get support for my problems?
[04:19] <alankila> a process was actually frozen on exit syscall
[04:19] <agrohe21> netmk: same problem.  won't boot direct into X?
[04:19] <alankila> really bizarre. :-(
[04:20] <bazhang> goddard, cpu temp issue?
[04:20] <celthunder> somethinginteres: your user running the script? chmod 770 should make user and group full access if somenone else set the last number accordingly
[04:21] <somethinginteres> celthunder: thanks will try now
[04:21] <TomatoKetchup> goddard, what seems to be the trouble?
[04:21] <goddard> bazhang: no I have several problems and it is hard to ever get a solution
[04:21] <goddard> one simple one is this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1982054
[04:22] <bazhang> goddard, whats the issue: give us a synopsis here
[04:22] <Ramon> Hello
[04:22] <goddard> well i post a description on the post and a picture but basically i upgraded from 11.10 and now in my update manager that sessioninstaller package is stuck and can't upgrade
[04:23] <celthunder> goddard: apt-get install -f in terminal say anything
[04:23] <celthunder> goddard: that should force finish anything started
[04:24] <goddard> 1 not upgraded
[04:24] <celthunder> with what error?
[04:24] <Ramon> I tried to upgrade to 11.10. and it failed.  Any where to look for wireless and printer "connectiod" files I could use after a re-install?
[04:24] <goddard> doesn't give any
[04:24] <goddard> Building dependency tree
[04:24] <goddard> Reading state information... Done
[04:24] <goddard> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
[04:25] <Ramon> s/tiod/toid/
[04:25] <celthunder> Ramon: /etc/nectwork/interfaces /etc/resolv.conf /etc/cups.d
[04:26] <celthunder> Ramon: and any modules you need for the kernel
[04:27] <celthunder> goddard: uhm apt-get update;apt-get install --force thepackagethatneedsupdating
[04:27] <celthunder> or something like that or dl the deb file and dpkg -i
[04:28] <celthunder> goddard: dont really use use ubuntu but the second should definitely work if the first doesnt
[04:28] <goddard> ok awesome that worked
[04:29] <goddard> and it seems it installed hicolor-icon-theme
[04:29] <goddard> is that for the unity toolbar?
[04:29] <goddard> because that is my other issue
[04:29] <goddard> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1981964
[04:30] <celthunder> no idea i use xmonad
[04:31] <celthunder> what is the issue with unity though?
[04:35] <somethinginteres> celthunder: hmm didn't seem to fix the error
[04:40] <Ramon> OK celth*, or whoever.  Found /etc/cups/printers.conf, seems to have the printer info here at home.  Found /etc/nectwork/interfaces /etc/resolv.conf here.  Need to find it on a hosed upgrade, using a bootable upgrade disk.  What I need is the wireless password - the admin is not around a lot.
[04:42] <celthunder> Ramon: probably wherever your network manager stores its configs then.
[04:42] <nina666> hi... how can i run my usb broadband? when I run ifconfig -a i dont see the usb drive there... any guides..?
[04:42] <celthunder> nina666: look up the chipset/model and find the kernel module for it
[04:43] <alankila> nina666: or it might be usb serial device, at ttyACM0 or some such
[04:43] <celthunder> somethinginteres: well whats the exact error and script who youre running it as what dir etc
[04:43] <nina666> thanks, we'll try and see...
[04:43] <suppenhuhn> I need some kind of compressed and encrypted file container. is there a way to combine encfs with compression? or is there a way to mount encrypted (7zip-)archives? other suggestions?
[04:44] <REK_007> How long with 10.04LTS desktop be supported?
[04:44] <suppenhuhn> !EOL
[04:44] <celthunder> suppenhuhn: probably ive only really used truecrpyt and dmcrypt.
[04:45] <celthunder> REK_007: until people stop using it and developing for it
[04:45] <suppenhuhn> celthunder: so have I. both don't offer compression, or do they?
[04:46] <somethinginteres> celthunder: oh, got it working with chmod 600. Thanks for trying to help me out.
[04:46] <david> I installed Luninux OS and was prompt for an upgrade for ubuntu 12.04. I thought that since this is a ubuntu based distro it would only update the repos but i gave me Ubuntu!
[04:46] <REK_007> celthunder: whats the official time frame?
[04:46] <celthunder> suppenhuhn: sadly probably not but you could combine truecrypt containers with compression..it would probably not be efficient though
[04:46] <david> not what I expected no wonder it took do long!
[04:46] <psusi> suppenhuhn, btrfs with compression enabled on top of cryptsetup?
[04:47] <celthunder> REK_007: see link abave
[04:47] <celthunder> david: lol thats funny might want to check what youre doing before next upgrade eh
[04:47] <david> damn i know.
[04:48] <suppenhuhn> psusi: would something like that work with a loop-device? I need to be able to store the whole thing online.
[04:48] <celthunder> there is a reason dev mailing lists and annoucnce lists exist..if it wasnt posted in either maybe thats what its supposed to do or you broke something
[04:48] <oziBlindSight> Just tried to do a server 9.04 upgrade to 10.04 LTS but failed with a partially working system. Need some help
[04:49] <vexati0n> why is there no "firewalld" for ubuntu? i hate system-config printer i want to use the real GNOME stuff!
[04:49] <three18ti_> I just installed dhcp3-server, but it's not installed... there is not /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server ...  I literally "apt-get install dhcp3-server" ...  what am I missing?
[04:50] <Sheldon23> oziBlindSight, If you've made a backup, the easiest thing would be to do a fresh install from a cd or usb.
[04:50] <vexati0n> three18ti_: when you install that, the init script isn't called dhcp3-server
[04:50] <vexati0n> i forget what it's called but it's something else... pretty sure it has 'dhcp' in there somewhere tho. list the contents of /etc/init.d/ and look through it
[04:51] <three18ti_> ok, thanks. guess the docs are a bit out of date, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html
[04:51] <oziBlindSight> Sorry but I didn't do a backup :(. Am trying to fix using apt-get dist-upgrade but that fails.
[04:52] <three18ti_> 2008... sure nothing has changed since then. ;)
[04:52] <vexati0n> three18ti_: yeah they're out of date. also i believe the config files aren't where the docs says they are, either.
[04:52] <three18ti_> /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server
[04:52] <vexati0n> yeah that's it
[04:53] <Sheldon23> oziBlindSight, What is the exact error message?  If it's too long to post here, use pastebin or similar.
[04:55] <oziBlindSight> Exact message is "E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'util-linux'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)"
[04:56] <grendal-prime> anyone familar with the problem of vm's and removing and adding nics?
[04:56] <dr_willis> grendal-prime:  what sort of problem.
[04:56] <grendal-prime> there is the udev/rules.d/ dir with the 70-persistent-net.rules issue.
[04:57] <grendal-prime> on 10.04 and the like you had to delete that file...for various differnt reasons...but mostly because you cloned the box
[04:58] <Sheldon23> oziBlindSight, Looks like the package "upstart-job" is the problem. Install it individually "sudo apt-get install upstart-job" and then run apt-get dist-upgrade.
[04:58] <grendal-prime> and so your interface would come up and udev want to assign it like eth1 instead of eth0
[04:58] <Sheldon23> oziBlindSight, Also, in the future, golden rule: always make backups before attempting any sort of upgrade/reinstall.
[04:58] <krababbel> !punctuation | grendal-prime
[04:58] <scar3crow> just did some updates, now my sound doesn't work... can't figure it out. @ login I can hear the drums BUT once my session starts I lose audio. help?

[05:17] <Kaleidoscope> Is there a program to adjust the CPU clock speed in Ubuntu?
[05:17] <grendal-prime> Kaleidoscope,  its always on full, why would you want it anything but that?
[05:17] <grendal-prime> jk
[05:18] <Kaleidoscope> grendal-prime, Actually, My CPU is supposed to be at 2ghz, And for some reason, Ubuntu is telling me it's at 800 Mhz
[05:18] <scar3crow> dr_willis: sound works @ lightdm (I hear the drums) but upon login I lose audio... alsamixer is @ 100%  ... I am an experienced user but I do not know what is wrong
[05:18] <grendal-prime> there must be, well thiere is nice. but i dont think that is the same thing.thats for individual processes
[05:18] <Sheldon23> Kaleidoscope, Are you running a pae compatible kernel that can identify multiple cpu cores ?
[05:19] <grendal-prime> sounds like...ya what sheldon said
[05:19] <Kaleidoscope> Sheldon, Yea, It is picking up both CPU corse just fine
[05:19] <dr_willis> scar3crow:  try with a newly made user as a test
[05:19] <scar3crow> ok
[05:20] <Kaleidoscope> Cores*....
[05:20] <triskelion> grendal-prime: r u serious?? u can change ur username right??
[05:20] <grendal-prime> triskelion, i dont think so
[05:20] <grendal-prime> ive never done that. I would just create a new user, copy over anything i wanted to keep and then remove the old one
[05:21] <grendal-prime> but i could be wrong
[05:21] <dr_willis> you can change the.usersname somehow. but it can be bothersom
[05:21] <goddard> i need to remove a kernel module that is conflicting with my current video driver anyone know how to deal with this?
[05:21] <grendal-prime> you could probably change it in passwd file
[05:21] <Sheldon23> Kaleidoscope, Can you run this in terminal:  cpufreq-info
[05:22] <safridzal> help please, how to make power management recognize usb joystick input ??
[05:22] <dr_willis> sudo rmmod modulename
[05:22] <grendal-prime> im sure the system uses the uid of the user for perms and stuff.
[05:22] <grendal-prime> but..i mean what dr_willis said.
[05:22] <Kaleidoscope> Sheldon23, Yea, one sec
[05:23] <goddard> dr_willis: can you look at this and tell me how i can figure out the module name?

[05:24] <Kaleidoscope> Laters, Grendal
[05:25] <scar3crow> dr_willis: you were correct, login as guest and sound works (yay) what do I need to fix?
[05:25] <grendal-prime> I say give piece a chance, and when that does not work..well get out of the way so that motivated and trained people can do their jobs.
[05:25] <goddard> how can i search for a kernel module?
[05:25] <goddard> that is installed
[05:25] <grendal-prime> lsmod
[05:25] <Sheldon23> Kaleidoscope, Are you running on battery or AC power?
[05:25] <Kaleidoscope> Sheldon23, AC
[05:26] <grendal-prime> that was for goddard
[05:26] <grendal-prime> that was my last word for the evening
[05:26] <grendal-prime> cept for gnight
[05:26] <Kaleidoscope> ^^ lol
[05:26] <goddard> later thanks
[05:26] <Sheldon23> Kaleidoscope, From the pastebin, it looks like the system is recognizing the maximum cpu speed, but is running on a lower one.  Can you try running cpufrequtils and see if you can change it from there.
[05:27] <Kaleidoscope> Sheldon23, It said Command not Found
[05:27] <Sheldon23> Kaleidoscope, Install it
[05:28] <Kaleidoscope> Sheldon23, I just did, I had to to do the cpufreq-info
[05:29] <flowerpot> manonymus, check google
[05:29] <AndChat42681> Hi everyone ;)
[05:29] <bazhang> flowerpot, dont recommend that here
[05:29] <flowerpot> I could tell you that you will find the DHCP server IP address in one of the files in your dhclient directory, but Google is fsater.
[05:29] <Sheldon23> Kaleidoscope, And you still can't open it?
[05:29] <bazhang> !google | flowerpot
[05:30] <myersg> how do I give google chrome virtual memory?
[05:30] <flowerpot> on my machine, /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-38664dff-8efd-4ef0-88c8-e8d7dd08503c-wlan0.lease contains all the DHCP info you could ask for
[05:30] <bazhang> flowerpot, just dont answer then
[05:30] <goddard> a .ko file is byte code?
[05:30] <flowerpot> bazhang, not answering = not helpful; I want to be helpful...by empowering people to help themselves :)
[05:30] <Kaleidoscope> Sheldon23, Nope
[05:30] <flowerpot> seriously, it's like in the top 5 hits on google for "find dhcp server linux"
[05:30] <myersg> or any other program?
[05:30] <bazhang> flowerpot, thats not the way this channel works. dont do it again
[05:31] <flowerpot> Suit yourself; I'll let you handle all the googlable questions then
[05:31] <Sheldon23> Kaleidoscope, Well.  Looks like your cpu/bios config is having difficulty scaling it to the max freq. There is a workaround but it could majorly overheat your system.
[05:31] <myersg> can any one help me?
[05:32] <goddard> myersg: swap?
[05:32] <Kaleidoscope> Sheldon23, I can set it using cpufreq-set
[05:32] <goddard> im trying to fix an API mismatch by removing an old kernel module ... how can i be sure im removing the correct one?
[05:32] <myersg> how do I give google chrome more virtual memory to make it run better?
[05:33] <goddard> myersg: how much memory do you have?
[05:33] <Sheldon23> Kaleidoscope, Excellent
[05:33] <Kaleidoscope> And I'm not too worried about heat, I keep my laptop well ventilated and clean of dust, And If I feel it heating up too much, I can cool it with my window fan :P
[05:33] <safridzal> help please, how to make power management recognize usb joystick input ?? I use it to play supertuxkart and i have to move my mouse to avoid blank screen management
[05:33] <Sheldon23> myersg, You don't need to manually provide it more RAM.  If you're running out of it, increase your system RAM.
[05:33] <myersg> 2 gb, but the os only reads 1.7, and it normaly uses 1.2
[05:34] <myersg> I cant add more ram hardware.
[05:34] <goddard> 2gigs should be enough if you are only running chrome or firefox
[05:34] <myersg> and im on a netbook
[05:34] <goddard> and if you have swap that will be your virtual ram
[05:35] <StarryNight> is 8gb enough for linux?
[05:35] <Kaleidoscope> Sheldon23, Alright, They are both set to 2Ghz now, Thanks very much man :)
[05:35] <goddard> StarryNight: no
[05:35] <myersg> but its slow, cant I give a program more virtual memory?
[05:35] <goddard> myersg: the program can assign it in the settings usually at least i can do that in firefox
[05:36] <goddard> myersg: firefox has a about:config where you can tweak stuff like that not sure about chrome
[05:36] <myersg> can you help me with firefox with it?
[05:37] <goddard> ya sure
[05:37] <myersg> so what do I do?
[05:38] <myersg> Im at the about:config screen
[05:38] <goddard> myersg: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/851221
[05:38] <goddard> that is for windows but it applies i think let me know if it doesn't
[05:38] <Sheldon23> Kaleidoscope, You're welcome man.
[05:39] <myersg> nope doesn't help
[05:39] <Kaleidoscope> Oops
[05:39] <Kaleidoscope> Sheldon23, Yea, I can already tell it's working faster now, So I'm pretty happy
[05:39] <StarryNight> i should re-phrase the question is 8gb or physical ram enough for linux?
[05:40] <goddard> myersg: how are you testing?
[05:40] <myersg> what do you mean?
[05:40] <bazhang> myersg, is this in a virtual machine?
[05:40] <myersg> no
[05:41] <_ProtekNickz> who ever asked what im writing it in the dd front end C++, sorry was busy a while then
[05:41] <myersg> its installed on my acer aspire one ao-722 netbook
[05:41] <bazhang> StarryNight, yes, way more than enough
[05:41] <plustax> Anybody have a clue about an Ubuntu for android eta?
[05:41] <StarryNight> i am running it on both my tower and laptop
[05:41] <plustax> I'm dying to get that setup on my galaxy nexus
[05:42] <bazhang> myersg, and what plugins, helpers do you have installed for it
[05:42] <goddard> myersg: virtual memory is usually managed automatically by the operating system
[05:42] <myersg> nothing
[05:42] <_ProtekNickz> AFK BRB
[05:42] <myersg> Iknow i can give programs more with somthing called a virtual memory file or somthing?
[05:43] <Silversong> Hey guys

[05:43] <surt> How do I recall the services that started at boot? Ex: Starting Bluetooth...those messages?
[05:43] <myersg> does that do any thing i need?
[05:43] <plustax> Mongo they are vnc versions thiughmright?
[05:43] <L3tops> Firefishe: sudo touch /forcefsck
[05:44] <Silversong> So I downloaded my nVIDIA GeForce 540M proprietary driver 2 days ago. How do I install it? I get errors if I try to run it as an executable due to encoding problems. If I try to run in command-only mode, it's encrypted and I can't find the file. Help please :)
[05:44] <Firefishe> L3tops: Thank you.
[05:44] <plustax> If not Mongo can you link me to one?
[05:44] <flowerpot> Firefishe, you can also force or skip fsck when executing shutdown via -F or -f
[05:44] <Kaleidoscope> eh, Anyone know the command to ignore JOINS and QUITS?
[05:44] <bazhang> Kaleidoscope, what irc client
[05:44] <goddard> if the application requires more memory myersg http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=873161
[05:44] <Firefishe> flowerpot: thank you for that :)
[05:44] <Kaleidoscope> bazhang, irssi
[05:44] <surt> Kaleidoscope: Which program?
[05:45] <myersg> goddard: does that link help me at all?
[05:45] <L3tops> Silversong: what version of ubuntu are you on
[05:45] <bazhang> !quietirssi | Kaleidoscope
[05:45] <goddard> weechat
[05:45] <Silversong> L3tops: Precise
[05:45] <Kaleidoscope> Many thanks
[05:45] <goddard> myersg: it explains a lot some guy only has 256mb of ram and he is trying to us virtual memory
[05:45] <myersg> ok
[05:45] <Sheldon23> Kaleidoscope, Cool :)
[05:45] <L3tops> Silversong: nvidia-current is version 295.40, which supports your card
[05:45] <goddard> do you have a swap partition? myersg
[05:46] <goddard> im trying to fix an API mismatch by removing an old kernel module ... how can i be sure im removing the correct one?
[05:46] <glioros> What is the proper setup for “anacron”?  /etc/init.removed or /etc/init
[05:46] <glioros> ?
[05:46] <surt> How do I recall the services that started at boot? Ex: Starting Bluetooth...those messages?
[05:47] <goddard> surt: log viewer
[05:47] <Silversong> L3tops: I downloaded 295.19, which shouldn't be that old. Either way, how do I install the driver though?
[05:47] <plustax> mongo are you still here? What webtop versions of ubuntu for android are floating around?
[05:47] <myersg> yes
[05:48] <myersg> 1.7 gb
[05:48] <surt> goddard: Don't shoot me for it, but I lubuntu. So I don't have that app. Is there a name I can search for in the log directory
[05:48] <plustax> I dont want vnc server versions, because thats just useless. I can VNC to my own Ubuntu machine
[05:48] <mongo> plustax: this is probably not the correct #, go look around on xda
[05:48] <plustax> mongo okay thanks
[05:48] <_ProtekNickz> Silversong: hace you tired to apt-get via terminal for the driversupdating list first then install?
[05:48] <myersg> but my netbook is slow, can I do anything like ready boost for windows?
[05:48] <myersg> on linux?
[05:48] <plustax> myersg: put ubuntu 10.10 on it
[05:49] <plustax> that will fix all of your issues.
[05:49] <plustax> windows FTL
[05:49] <mongo> myersg: log in with "ubuntu 2d"
[05:49] <Ben64> why 10.10? it's outdated
[05:49] <mongo> that will use 2d accelerated menues etc..
[05:49] <L3tops> Silversong: I do not understand your reasoning. I mean... I don't have to... but I believe that you are better off installing the supported version. You should, frankly, have a notifier in desktop which tells you that the third party driver is available.
[05:49] <bazhang> plustax, thats an unsupported version, dont recommend that
[05:49] <Silversong> _ProtekNickz: I'm new to Ubuntu (not even a week, lol, hence noob :P) How do I do that? I just want to get unity 3d with this proprietary driver, which someone told me would do the trick. I'm on 2d right now.
[05:49] <plustax> ben64 well depending on his netbook hardware ive found 10.10 to run really well on it
[05:49] <safridzal> help please, how to make power management recognize usb joystick input ?? I use it to play supertuxkart and i have to move my mouse to avoid blank screen management
[05:50] <plustax> bazhang: true. I suppose 11.10 will work great too
[05:50] <Ben64> i'd just go ahead and put 12.04 on
[05:50] <Silversong> L3tops: Honestly, I just cannot find .40 anywhere on Google lol
[05:51] <_ProtekNickz> well what Letops just said
[05:51] <plustax> well it depends. What are the specs of said netbook?
[05:51] <L3tops> !info nvidia-current | Silversong
[05:51] <kris07> Good evening/day again everyone
[05:52] <goddard> surt: not sure i think it is just called log viewer
[05:52] <plustax> yeah just put 12.04 on
[05:52] <plustax> Also, mint makes a great netbook compatible build
[05:52] <Silversong> What does it mean by (Only available for i386; amd64; lpia)...
[05:52] <goddard> myersg: i have never had a netbook so i dont know but in ubuntu you can install a different window manager that might help
[05:53] <jps> "swapon failed: Operation not permitted" ... strace says it doesn't have CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Help?
[05:53] <plustax> I just find that gnome3 can be a bit intensive on netbook hardware
[05:53] <goddard> myersg: you could try xfce or openbox or something like that ... i cant help you with those cause i dont use it
[05:53] <kris07> Can anyone help me with a script issue that I'm having?
[05:54] <goddard> kris07: maybe
[05:54] <plustax> myersg: unity will run fine on your netbook, but I imagine youll have a bit of lag with gnome 3
[05:54] <plustax> netbooks are useless tbh.
[05:54] <L3tops> Silversong: you will want to drop to tty2 (ctrl alt f2) sudo service kdm stop; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current     if you canot find the third party software notifier nag (sorry, I never see it so cant help you find... but maybe someone here can)
[05:55] <Silversong> all right. I'll try that.
[05:55] <kris07> goddard: Well I'm trying to create and run the script seen here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbook for the touchpad, but I keep getting errors
[05:55] <L3tops> it will require a reboot afterward Silversong
[05:55] <Silversong> let me write this down first lol. that's gonna take me to command mode
[05:55] <Silversong> all right
[05:55] <_ProtekNickz> Silversong: you know where the update center is? if so use it as ubottu & L3Top has said .40 is the precise
[05:56] <Silversong> _ProtekNickz: Yeah. Sorry guys lol I'm still getting used to Ubuntu but I'm loving it and learning. Can I find it in the Update Center?
[05:57] <Silversong> _ProtekNickz: I mean I do sudo apt-get update every day. :|
[05:57] <bigpapa> hi everyone, i have 2 xfx hd 6850 video cards installed on my computer, each has one monitor connected. Can i get Ubuntu to use both cards and monitors by chance?
[05:58] <goddard> kris07: ahh a zenbook i like those things
[05:59] <crizis> bigpapa: have you installed proprietary ati driver?
[05:59] <bigpapa> yes
[05:59] <safridzal> help please, how to make power management recognize usb joystick input ?? I use it to play supertuxkart and i have to move my mouse to avoid blank screen management
[05:59] <crizis> bigpapa: tried amd's control center?
[05:59] <kris07> goddard: I got it off of craigslist from some college kid who need more power, but it fit my needs. I feel like it's a pretty solid machine for basic uses.
[05:59] <plustax> I just dont get the purpose of a netbook. Its a mini laptop. Why not just get a tablet? I have an iconia a500 and a bluetooth keyboard. Perfect. Can do anything a crappy netbook can do
[05:59] <bigpapa> no not sure how to access it
[06:00] <crizis> bigpapa: search for 'amd control' with dash
[06:00] <crizis> make sure to pick the administrative version of two hits
[06:00] <kris07> goddard: It's just that on Ubuntu the scroll area of the touchpad is too narrow and I don't like two finger scrolling
[06:00] <Kaleidoscope> safridzal, you could just set it so your moniter never blanks out
[06:00] <crizis> plustax: better question is, why get crappy tablet when you can get a real laptop with real keyboard
[06:01] <safridzal> Kaleidoscope: but i need power management to be run, im on netbook here
[06:01] <crizis> touchscreen is more or less the most diabolical input method :)
[06:01] <plustax> I have a real laptop and a real keyboard. I call it my laptop
[06:01] <goddard> kris07: i see might try the laptop testing group on launchpad
[06:01] <crizis> yes. and that's what makes tables useless..
[06:01] <goddard> i bet they would know as that is a popular laptop
[06:01] <crizis> *ts
[06:01] <safridzal> Kaleidoscope: it runs fine on mplayer ( it doesnt turn black on plat=ying)
[06:01] <krababbel> myersg: if you want to try, a tabbed window manager like wmii could be good, if you have a keyboard.
[06:01] <plustax> Honestly, it took me a while to find a use for my tablet.
[06:01] <safridzal> it just my OS cant respect the joystick input
[06:01] <plustax> But I found that it IS easier than carting my laptop around
[06:01] <plustax> and android pwns
[06:02] <safridzal> it only recognize mouse and keyboard, not joystick
[06:02] <Kaleidoscope> safridzal, then you may be out of luck, I'm not sure you can set Power manager to recognize joysticks
[06:02] <kris07> goddard: I'll give it a shot. I just figured that that script would do the trick if I could get it to work
[06:02] <bigpapa> crizis: found it but it don't recognize the second card, not sure why
[06:03] <safridzal> Kaleidoscope: ok, thanks..will search on others chann
[06:03] <safridzal> :D
[06:03] <Kaleidoscope> safridzal, if you can, you could have mplayer running in the background on mute whilst you play Tuxcart
[06:03] <safridzal> Kaleidoscope: lol
[06:03] <safridzal> but its nice trick i think
[06:03] <oziBlindSight> Sheldon23. Thanks for your help. Working now .. I think.
[06:04] <Sheldon23> oziBlindSight, you're welcome mate
[06:04] <crizis> bigpapa: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page might be helpful
[06:04] <crizis> bigpapa: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide#X2.2FDual_GPU_Cards or this
[06:05] <crizis> i only got one 6870 :/
[06:05] <glioros> ./etc/crontab gives me bash: /etc/crontab: Permission denied
[06:05] <glioros> any ideas?
[06:06] <crizis> glioros: what you're trying to do?
[06:06] <crizis> glioros: "crontab -e" edits the crontab for the user you run it with.. sudo crontab -e for roots crontab
[06:06] <bigpapa> crizis: thank you reading now
[06:06] <crizis> glioros: /etc/crontab isn't an executable file if you're trying to run it, it only lists commands for crontab to run
[06:07] <glioros> crizis: basically there was a bug on ubuntu 10.4 and plesk so i mv /etc/init.removed/anacron.conf /etc/init/ so to make the statistics working but nothing
[06:09] <glioros> crizis how to check that cron is working properly ?
[06:09] <bkerensa> glioros: the cron is working fine the question is how to check if the script is working properly
[06:10] <JPeterso2> how do i get ubuntu to recognise  Interix symlinks (created in cygwin)?
[06:10] <crizis> glioros: sudo service cron start, should say that it's already running
[06:10] <JPeterso2> cat interixlink prints the plain text and not the linked file
[06:10] <crizis> and whatever it is running, you can edit with crontab -e
[06:11] <glioros> crizis: ok it is running. the statistics still not working. many people has problems with statistics on plesk which in installed on ubuntu and PLESK cannot give an answer
[06:12] <crizis> well, plesk is a commercial closed panel so they should give support for it
[06:12] <crizis> not really an ubuntu issue
[06:12] <bkerensa> glioros: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto <-- has some helpful information on cronjobs
[06:12] <bkerensa> glioros: thats a server matter you might try #ubuntu-server or contact plesk which provides support for their platform
[06:13] <flowerpot> glioros, don't forget to confirm whether cron is really running by executing ps -C cron or ps -ef | grep cron
[06:13] <glioros> i will change host. enough i am tired with them. my advice is stay away from plesk. 10 years i was with cpanel and i never had problems. with plesk i always have problems.
[06:14] <crizis> glioros: my friends hosting company runs cpanel, it's far from trouble free too :P ui is also pretty nightmarish...
[06:14] <crizis> glioros: i actually developed an easy new ui on top of cpanel's xml api for them :)
[06:14] <glioros> what is the name of the company ?
[06:14] <crizis> scene group
[06:15] <crizis> glioros: http://www.scenegroup.net/hosting_panel that's my work ^^
[06:15] <crizis> glioros: classic cpanel available too ofc ^^
[06:16] <glioros> nice work
[06:16] <bkerensa> !offtopic | crizis
[06:17] <bkerensa> glioros: if you need support for Server/VPS/Cloud please feel free to try and seek that support in #Ubuntu-Server however proprietary platforms should be supported by the vendor in this case Plesk is supported by Parrelels or your provider.
[06:17] <glioros> bkerensa: also it is very strange. i set cron to run every minute for a website and it runs every 12 hours.
[06:18] <JPeterso2> I mean cygwin "!<symlink>" support
[06:24] <bigpapa> please don't die laughing but how do you open a command line window? my second hd 6850 video card isn't recognized
[06:25] <bohemian9485> bigpapa: ctrl+alt+t?
[06:26] <dr_willis> !terminal
[06:26] <dr_willis> run gnome-terminal
[06:29] <Tamoxin> hi
[06:29] <dr_willis> howdy
[06:30] <Tamoxin> amm guys
[06:30] <Tamoxin> im here cuz im new in this comunity
[06:30] <Tamoxin> i mean linux comunity
[06:31] <dr_willis> bit of a slow time of day in this channel rightnow.  2:30 am in  the USA
[06:31] <Silversong> what's the difference between Ctrl+Alt+F2 and Ctrl+Alt+F1?
[06:31] <flowerpot> Silversong, one of them gives you virtual tty1
[06:31] <flowerpot> the other gives you virtual tty2
[06:31] <dr_willis> Silversong:  differnt consoles you mean? you normally have 6 of them, f1 through F6
[06:31] <glioros> guys i am not able to run this command /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/statistics –calculate-all any ideas why ?
[06:31] <Silversong> oh dang. which one exits the X server?
[06:31] <Tamoxin> ctrl +alt+f2 its to execute something
[06:31] <Silversong> I'm trying to install a proprietary driver
[06:32] <dr_willis> Silversong:  nonee of them.
[06:32] <Silversong> :(
[06:32] <dr_willis> You can use commands TO kill X from them
[06:32] <dr_willis> alt-ctrl-f7 is the x server display
[06:32] <dr_willis> normally
[06:32] <Tamoxin> i have  tried to install ubuntu in my netbook but i cant
[06:32] <dr_willis> what are you trying to install exactly Silversong
[06:32] <flowerpot> Silversong, the virtual tty's are independent virtual consoles.  think of them as little monitors plugged into your computer.  you can run any commands from any virtual tty; linux won't care
[06:32] <Silversong> so sudo service lightdm stop ?
[06:33] <Tamoxin> i restar my netbook and thers only a black screen
[06:33] <Silversong> dr_willis I'm trying to install my NVIDIA prop. driver
[06:33] <dr_willis> Silversong:  that should stop lightdm and x.
[06:33] <flowerpot> Tamoxin, do you have an nvidia video card?
[06:33] <dr_willis> Silversong:  you HAVe used the drivers in the repos first?
[06:33] <Tamoxin> nope
[06:33] <Silversong> what you mean, and what's repos?
[06:33] <Tamoxin> all my netbook is intel
[06:33]  * Silversong is noob here.
[06:33] <Silversong> ^Noob
[06:33] <Silversong> :D
[06:34] <dr_willis> Silversong:  you DONT want to just 'go to the nvidia site and ge their ,run file' its most likely not  needed
[06:34] <dr_willis> there should have been a dialog when you logged in about the restricted drivers.
[06:34] <flowerpot> Silversong, repo = repository = apt-get repository.  apt-get is a package manager used in ubuntu, which manages the installation/update/uninstallation of packages (=software such as drivers) to your system.
[06:34] <dr_willis> go to your X desktop. run 'jockey-gtk' and see what drivers it suggests and can auto install for  you
[06:35] <Tamoxin> can u help me please?
[06:35] <dr_willis> everyone has been MS trained to go to a web site and get stuff.. thats availiavble in the package manager. :)
[06:35] <flowerpot> Tamoxin, what happens before the screen goes blank?  Do you see text or anything?
[06:35] <Tamoxin> its suppossomething like that
[06:35] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | Tamoxin
[06:36] <Tamoxin> ok
[06:36] <Silversong> dr_willis where is jockey-gtk, or do I just go in terminal and ./jockey-gtk
[06:36] <Silversong> flowerpot: thanks :) learning something new everyday
[06:36] <Tamoxin> my problem its that ubuntu live usb dont show me the start up screen
[06:36] <dr_willis> Silversong:  thats the terminal command
[06:36] <Silversong> so I should go run jockey-gtk now?
[06:36] <Tamoxin> sorry for my english guys
[06:37] <dr_willis> Silversong:  and its Not ./whatever  its just 'jockey-gtk'
[06:37] <Silversong> oh
[06:37] <dr_willis> Silversong:  in the menuis its called 'addational drivers' i belive
[06:37] <flowerpot> Tamoxin, do you see anything before the blank screen?
[06:37] <Tamoxin> yes
[06:37] <flowerpot> What do you see?
[06:37] <Silversong> "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system."
[06:37] <Tamoxin> a kind of words
[06:38] <Tamoxin> but they
[06:38] <dr_willis> and does it suggest insgtalling some?
[06:38] <Silversong> dr_willis ^That's what I got earlier from clicking on Additional Drivers within System Settings
[06:38] <Tamoxin> wait i dont know how to say it
[06:38] <Silversong> dr_willis: No it doesn't say anything else
[06:38] <Silversong> within terminal it got some 'icon_set != NULL' failed
[06:38] <dr_willis> Silversong:  you are not using one of those machines that has optimus dual nvidia and intel gfx chipsets are you? whats your exact video chipset?
[06:38] <Tamoxin> the words dissapear too fast
[06:39] <Tamoxin> as fast than i cant read it
[06:39] <flowerpot> Tamoxin, try restarting your computer.  Hold down SHIFT the entire time.
[06:39]  * woozly nice
[06:39] <Tamoxin> with the usb plugged in?
[06:39] <flowerpot> That will probably bring you to a menu -- probably the menu for GRUB, which is a bootloader.
[06:39] <Silversong> dr_willis: How do I find that out? I just know my graphics card :|
[06:39] <mosno> when in 12.04.1 release? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule
[06:40] <mosno> oh lol
[06:40] <dr_willis> Silversong:   and whats your gfx card? is this a laptopo or desktop?
[06:40] <mosno> July 19th, reading fail
[06:40] <flowerpot> Tamoxin, start your computer up as if you were going to use Ubuntu, and hold down shift until the  GRUB menu appears.
[06:40] <Tamoxin> and then?
[06:40] <Silversong> laptop
[06:40] <Silversong> NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M with 1 GB Dedicated VRAM
[06:41] <flowerpot> Select Ubuntu from the menu and press "e" to enter  "edit mode"
[06:41] <Waraudon> New build, ASRock Z77 Extreme4, getting this at boot: http://i.imgur.com/NqubT.jpg any ideas?
[06:41] <Tamoxin> nope
[06:41] <dr_willis> Silversong:  how new a laptop?
[06:41] <Tamoxin> there dont ocurre nothing
[06:42] <Tamoxin> again sorry for my english
[06:42] <flowerpot> Tamoxin, a menu did not appear when you held down shift?
[06:42] <Silversong> dr_willis: a week old
[06:42] <Tamoxin> nope
[06:42] <goddard> if i have a lost icon meaning it doesn't have a binary file attached to it how can i remove it?
[06:43] <dr_willis> Silversong:  id bet it has that optimus dual gpu setup. so its using the intel video card right now. which is why its not seeing the nvidia card.
[06:43] <Waraudon> Found the problem.
[06:43] <Waraudon> The optical drive was causing things to hang up somehow
[06:43] <Waraudon> ata7.00: failed command: IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE
[06:43] <dr_willis> Silversong:  you could check trhe output of 'lspci' and see if it mentions a intel video chipset
[06:43] <Tamoxin> maybe i dint explain me
[06:44] <Tamoxin> what i want to do is to star ubuntu as a live cd to install it but
[06:44] <dr_willis> brand new laptops are normally the most problematic things to install ubuntu on.
[06:44] <Tamoxin> i start it in my usb
[06:44] <goddard> unless its those new dells
[06:44] <dr_willis> Tamoxin:  the live cd has a nomodeset option thjjat can helpo you if the graphics is not correct.
[06:44] <dr_willis> !nomodeset
[06:45] <flowerpot> dr_willis, neat, didn't know there was a special setup for the livecd.
[06:45] <Silversong> dr_willis I queried you.
[06:45] <Tamoxin> but when i restar my computer there only appear a black screen an then it change to red too fast and then it change again to black
[06:45] <Silversong> Or would you rather talk here?
[06:45] <dr_willis> Silversong:  but you dident really say anything.. :) and im at work. so i may have to leave at any time. best to talk in the channel
[06:45] <Tamoxin> let me read the article
[06:46] <Silversong> okay
[06:46] <Silversong> i'll screen capture
[06:46] <dr_willis> lspci | grep vga --: shpould show video card info
[06:46] <dr_willis> Silversong:  use the pastebinit command/feature.
[06:46] <Jak_Atackka> I'm not sure if this is the right channel to ask this, but I need some Ubuntu-related advice
[06:46] <dr_willis> lspci | grep VGA  (or was it vga?)
[06:47] <Jak_Atackka> Just advice, not technical support
[06:47] <goddard> dr_willis: do you know how to delete old icons ... I have an nvidia settings icon that launches nothing and ive remove the nvidia drivers
[06:47] <dr_willis> goddard:  find its .desktop  file and remove it.
[06:47] <Tamoxin> amm guys
[06:47] <Silversong> dr_willis: pastebin.com/jv80sxrN
[06:47] <Silversong> Please take a look.
[06:47] <Tamoxin> when i try to start whit the live cd i cant see anything
[06:48] <Tamoxin> its suppose that there would be a start up screen but there is nothing
[06:48] <Silversong> So yes I do see NVIDIA
[06:49] <bigpapa> anyone know a good howto for getting 2 video adapters and 2 monitors working, i guess as two different desktops? i tried the command lines for two monitors but it doesn't see the second video card
[06:49] <Tamoxin> i should see this image http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/3509/dgfdgrunningoraclevmvir.png
[06:49] <Tamoxin> but i cant
[06:49] <dr_willis> Silversong:  look again.. there is BOTH an intel and an nnvidia. so id bet it is one of those Optimus setups
[06:50] <flowerpot> Tamoxin, I don't know what to say.  Did you verify the md5 hash of the livecd installation media?
[06:50] <dr_willis> bigpapa:  2 differnt  video card/chipsets? what chipsets?
[06:50] <Tamoxin> whats that?
[06:50] <bigpapa> Dr_willis: amd HD 6850 video cards
[06:51] <Silversong> dr_willis: Does that mean I have two video cards and I'm using the crappy one of the two?
[06:51] <j605> hi
[06:51] <dr_willis> bigpapa:  2 ati cards.. :) at least its not an ati and an nvidia..  I dont know how well ati supports multi ccard/monitor setups - ive only done it with nvidia, rarely
[06:51] <Silversong> dr_willis: -___- lol
[06:51] <dr_willis> Silversong:  youa re using the intel one.. which gives you more battery life i imagine
[06:51] <j605> i am unable to activate wifi, i have hp g6 with ubuntu 12.04
[06:51] <goddard> dr_willis: where are those at buddy?
[06:51] <j605> network manger reports wifi is disabled by hardware switch
[06:52] <flowerpot> Tamoxin, my suggestion would be to try re-downloading the livecd
[06:52] <dr_willis> goddard:  try 'locate .desktop' there are tons of them.
[06:52] <Silversong> dr_willis: I see. So I should install a proprietary driver for THAT instead, right?
[06:52] <dr_willis> Silversong:  intel drivers are included by default. :)
[06:52] <dr_willis> Silversong:  thats why intel is so awsome..
[06:52] <Tamoxin> i had downloaded it trhee times
[06:53] <Silversong> dr_willis: Hehe, I like Intel as well
[06:53] <flowerpot> Tamoxin, try a livecd - not a liveusb
[06:53] <dr_willis> Tamoxin:  verify the downloads. if they dont verify.. no point in going on..
[06:53] <Silversong> dr_willis: So I should just get a proprietary driver for that? Or is there one? What can I do to get my computer run Unity 3D?
[06:53] <Tamoxin> once the alternate version and twice the normal version
[06:54] <Tamoxin> i cant use live cd cuz i have a netbook
[06:54] <dr_willis> Silversong:  intel drivers are included by default. :)  there IS no proptiatry driver for them
[06:54] <Tamoxin> this is a headhache cuz there is no problem whit other distributions like linux mint
[06:54] <dr_willis> Silversong:  my netbook does 3d using the normal drivers on intel hardware
[06:54] <Tamoxin> but i dont like it
[06:54] <Silversong> dr_willis: Ha. Yes. I clicked on the NVIDIA X Server Settings, and it said "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[06:54] <dr_willis> Silversong:  but your laptop is sooo new - it may  have some issues
[06:55] <dr_willis> Silversong:  the optimius feature is  a work in progress.. i have never used it.
[06:55] <dr_willis> !bumblebee
[06:56] <dr_willis> Silversong:  id say check the forums and askubuntu.com about your exact make/model of laptop
[06:56] <Tamoxin> dr_willis: how can i verify my download?
[06:56] <dr_willis> !md5 | Tamoxin
[06:56] <Silversong> mmm. cuz i don't feel like having my good driver going to waste. I'm never playing any 3D games on my laptop. Unity 3D is as 3D as I'm gonna get, lol
[06:56] <Tamoxin> ok
[06:57] <Tamoxin> and then?
[06:57] <dr_willis> Silversong:  no need to worry about the nvidia stuff if unitty3d works on the intel side
[06:57] <vexaxv> hey guys quick question if my computer breaks but my files are hosted by this computer through ubuntu one can i redownload them on a different computer
[06:57] <dr_willis> 'hosted by this computer through ubuntu' You mean they are on the local machine?
[06:57] <chu> As long as the UbuntuOne sync has been recently done.
[06:57] <goddard> dr_willis: im trying to purge a manually install nvidia driver or any left overs of the installed driver
[06:58] <vexaxv> files hosted on this computer, using ubuntu one
[06:58] <Tamoxin> vexavx: yes you cam
[06:58] <vexaxv> if this computer breaks
[06:58] <dr_willis> goddard:  theres most likely some nvidia-settings.desktop file somewhere then.
[06:58] <vexaxv> i can..cool
[06:58] <vexaxv> thank you
[06:58] <Silversong> dr_willis: it doesn't.
[06:58] <Tamoxin> no wait
[06:58] <Silversong> dr_willis: I did echo $DESKTOP_SESSION
[06:58] <goddard> dr_willis: i was getting an API mismatch
[06:58] <Silversong> unity-2d
[06:58] <Silversong> or ubuntu-2d
[06:58] <dr_willis> vexaxv:  they are not 'hosted' on that machine... they are on the U1 servers.. and synced back to that machine as needed
[06:58] <Tamoxin> vexavx: hosted on your computer or in ubuntu one?
[06:59] <vexaxv> k thanks man
[06:59] <gh0stn0te> salve ragazzi! domandone, vi è mai capitato di avere problemi con una scheda ethernet "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd." "RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller" ?? Da qualche tempo a questa parte ho seri problemi, nel senso, rileva la connessione, prende l indirizzo da dhcp, è pingabile e tutto, ma stranamente, ogni tanto è come se si freezasse, smette di rispondere e di ricevere, persino wireshark si ferma.... anche se i l
[06:59] <gh0stn0te> ed della scheda continuano a lampeggiare
[06:59] <sunson> Will PXE boot work if the server is on wireless while the client is wired? (both are connected to the same router)
[06:59] <dr_willis> Silversong:  very likely some issue with the intel drivers and how new that laptop is. Intel hardware should be able to do unity3d.
[07:00] <Silversong> dr_willis: so apparently laptop being NEW is a bad thing :( d'aww
[07:00] <dr_willis> Silversong:  thats always been the case..
[07:00] <Silversong> dr_willis: are their prop. drivers for intel cards?
[07:00] <dr_willis> Silversong:  ive said they are included...  several times now.. ;)
[07:00] <sunson> Will PXE boot work if the tftp/bootp server is on wireless while the client is wired? (both are connected to the same router/network)
[07:00] <dr_willis> there MAY be updated intel drivers you can get.. but with a laptop that just came out last week it may be too new for them.
[07:01] <dr_willis> Silversong:  so i say check the forums and askubuntu.com for info about that exact make of laptop
[07:01] <gh0stn0te> Sorry, i ve confused this chan with #ubuntu-it, anyway: Someone have got some problem with a "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd." "RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller" on LMDE? the card seems to work nicely but its like it freeze (no ping, no troughtput) wireshark also stops to log packet when this happens, anybody have got a similar issue? how do I control the driver module? there are some alternative drivers to use for that?
[07:01] <dr_willis> Silversong:  its also  possible you can disable the intel. and enable the nvidia in the bios.
[07:01] <gh0stn0te>  Thanks!
[07:03] <Silversong> dr_willis: I just checked forum, someone said to do this:    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/drivers-only
[07:03] <Silversong> Not sure what it does but it's kinda scary
[07:03] <dr_willis> updated x - whoch  would included the updated intel drivers..
[07:04] <dr_willis> i always buy my laptops on clearance.. so they are at least a few months old. :)
[07:04] <Tamoxin> ammm guys
[07:04] <Tamoxin> md5sum are the same
[07:05] <dr_willis> Tamoxin:  you burnt a cd? or useing a usb?
[07:06] <Tamoxin> i use usb cuz i cant use cd in my notbook
[07:07] <dr_willis> how did you make the usb?
[07:08] <Tamoxin> with universal usb installer in windows
[07:08] <Tamoxin> i had tried once in linux
[07:08] <dr_willis> so it boots.. but you get a black screen?
[07:08] <Tamoxin> yes
[07:08] <dr_willis> so have you tried the nomodeset option thats been mentioned?
[07:08] <Tamoxin> no wait
[07:09] <Tamoxin> no boota
[07:09] <Tamoxin> boots
[07:09] <Tamoxin> i mean
[07:09] <goddard> I have tried everything I can't get this old nvidia driver out how can I fix it? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11946301#post11946301
[07:09] <dr_willis> goddard:  more is left behind then just an icon??
[07:09] <Tamoxin> when i restart  i should see a ubuntu start up screen
[07:10] <goddard> dr_willis: apparently although i dont know what is being referenced
[07:10] <krababbel> goddard: is there nvidia in /usr/lib ?
[07:10] <Tamoxin> saying : if you want to try it or install it
[07:10] <Tamoxin> but i cant see it
[07:10] <dr_willis> Tamoxin:  when you boot up. there should be several menus yes.  theres an screen that has a 'man=keyboard' image thats the screen you hit space (i think) on to get into the options to enable nomodeset
[07:10] <dr_willis> Tamoxin:  ths nomodeset option is  is BEFOR that try/install screen
[07:10] <Tamoxin> but there is nothing
[07:11] <dr_willis> read up at the !nomodeset factoid site and see how to enable nomodeset
[07:11] <dr_willis> if that fails.. im out of ideas
[07:11] <f`ckJustinBieber> is there any package like "Google Earth" for linux?
[07:11] <Tamoxin> ok
[07:11] <dr_willis> google earth exists for linux
[07:11] <Tamoxin> thank you
[07:12] <dr_willis> !info google-earth
[07:12] <dr_willis> must be in some other repo/ppa
[07:12] <f`ckJustinBieber> dr_willis, I had enough problems installing it, let me paste the errors while I'm trying to install it
[07:12] <f`ckJustinBieber> I don't think if it exists in repos, I downloaded the binary from google
[07:12] <dr_willis> ive just used the ppa/apt-get in teh past i belive
[07:12] <_ProtekNickz> You need to download google earth off their site
[07:12] <goddard> krababbel: there is now i installed nvidia-current
[07:12] <dr_willis> google has its own repos for  it i ghought.
[07:13] <dr_willis> or was that just for chrome
[07:13] <three18ti_> how do I find the "key number" of an apt key?
[07:13] <f`ckJustinBieber> dr_willis, take a look at this shit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/992371/
[07:14] <three18ti_> normally I just wget -O- http://example.com/key.asc | apt-key add -
[07:14] <sajimon> hm, i got a strangest problem ever, im running commercial software on percise, CrossStudio, and when i run a program, it nor showing on unity dock, nor is it available in alt+tab list, any ideas?
[07:14] <dr_willis> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth
[07:14] <krababbel> goddard: and? purge won't work??
[07:14] <three18ti_> but I'm trying to automate and puppet requires a "key number" http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/apt
[07:14] <tonvin>     /quit
[07:14] <dr_willis> sajimon:  seen that issue mentioned here with other apps. is this a java app  by any  chanve
[07:14] <f`ckJustinBieber> tonvin: so long
[07:14] <three18ti_> it's a hex number...
[07:14] <goddard> krababbel: i have a feeling it is a manually installed nvidia driver that is giving me problems
[07:15] <goddard> version 290.10
[07:16] <dr_willis> f`ckJustinBieber:   the ubuntu docs page say to use the .deb  not  the .bin
[07:16] <sajimon> dr_willis: no i dont think so it , im not sure what toolkit its using, but it souesn feel like java
[07:17] <three18ti_> apt-ket list provides a couple of numbers... but I'm not sure which is the correct one.
[07:17] <f`ckJustinBieber> dr_willis, it is not available for download...
[07:17] <f`ckJustinBieber> dr_willis, there's only the .bin file available for download @ google.com
[07:17] <dr_willis> sajimon:  i see that same issue mentioned in here befor. never seen a definituve fix. the forums or askubuntu.com may have some hits on the issue
[07:17] <ndee> anyone knows how I can do the following: Scan the auth.log and check for entries which contain 'authentication failure' and block those IPs after 3 bad tries.
[07:18] <ndee> I was using denyhosts but somehow, portmap was eating up around 2GB of RAM. So I was thinking on doing this with iptables.
[07:18] <adv__> more auth.log | grep 'authentication failure' > newauth.log
[07:18] <adv__> ndee,more auth.log | grep 'authentication failure' > newauth.log
[07:19] <adv__> something like that
[07:19] <ndee> ah, I found fail2ban :D
[07:19] <dr_willis> f`ckJustinBieber:  the download link at  that url gives me a .deb to download.
[07:19] <f`ckJustinBieber> dr_willis, can't find it, will you please paste it for me?!
[07:20] <dr_willis> the button at the bottom of the 'agreement page' send me the .deb  i dident do anything special
[07:20] <dr_willis> http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html
[07:20] <gere> any one can help me, How can read,send and my email using terminal in ubuntu?
[07:20] <f`ckJustinBieber> this generates me a .bin file
[07:20] <dr_willis> i am on my android phone. :) so it may be seeing im on 'linux'
[07:21] <dr_willis> f`ckJustinBieber:  what os/browser are you using?
[07:21] <f`ckJustinBieber> it sees I'm on linux but it provides me the bin file
[07:21] <f`ckJustinBieber> dr_willis, firefox on debian
[07:22] <dr_willis> should be some site/ftp/url that has a  menu for all of them.
[07:22] <dr_willis> but im on my phone. :) so browsing is a bit hard for me
[07:22] <dr_willis> i cant see/get the exact url of the download either.
[07:23] <f`ckJustinBieber> thanks dr_willis, I'll try with different browsers, otherwise I'll get someone to generate a mirror for me
[07:25] <dr_willis> google erth ppa --    http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_earth
[07:26] <dr_willis> the google earth wiki page for  ubuntu also  mentions some extra packages that may be needed for the .bin to work properly
[07:27] <dr_willis> medibuntu also  may  have a google earth repo setup.
[07:29] <david_E> I have a glitch in gnome 3 using Luninux OS. After an update and a restart When I log back in I see that my gnome panel is gray instead of transparent and although all the buttons work it has the words File Edit Veiw Bookmarks Help  on the panel, like the ones from firefox.
[07:29] <f`ckJustinBieber> goddamn it dr_willis , when I browse the google earth download site with my ip, .deb package is not available, but when I use a proxy I can download it
[07:29] <david_E> but those buttons dont work
[07:29] <f`ckJustinBieber> I'm now downloading it @ 10Kilobytes per sec, lol
[07:29] <david_E> just part of the background for the panel
[07:30] <henryk_> hello!!!
[07:30] <Ben64> maybe google doesn't like where you live f`ckJustinBieber
[07:30] <f`ckJustinBieber> hello henryk_
[07:32] <dr_willis> f`ckJustinBieber:  i seem to recall ages ago it  had a pulldown somewhere for 'not the os version you want.. select below'   but i dont see it now
[07:32] <Silversong> !bumblebee | Silversong
[07:32] <Silversong> :(
[07:32] <Silversong> didn't get anything
[07:32] <dr_willis> all i know on bumblebee is its a work in progress.. and i plan on avoiding it in my  next laptop pursache.
[07:32] <Silversong> idk what is bumblebee
[07:32] <Silversong> that's why i tried to do that
[07:33] <Silversong> my laptop, as seen in bios, is running nvidia optimus
[07:33] <dr_willis> its special tools to switchon the fly from the intel to  nvidia gpu on new laptopps
[07:33] <f`ckJustinBieber> that's strange, it even provides a newer version when I use a proxy
[07:33] <subdesign> morning
[07:33] <dr_willis> Optimus =  the special chipset to do intel/nvidia gfx
[07:33] <f`ckJustinBieber> morning subdesign
[07:33] <subdesign> if somebody use CSS3 Pie, 1.0 released !
[07:33] <subdesign> ahh
[07:33] <subdesign> not here
[07:33] <subdesign> sorry
[07:33] <FloodBot1> subdesign: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:34] <dr_willis> heh,.
[07:35] <samba35> how to index all man pages to ubuntu
[07:35] <Silversong> dr_willis. Okay, apparently I am running on Bumblebee, so I've found out
[07:37] <gere> how can use my email using terminal in ubuntu?
[07:37] <f`ckJustinBieber> Google has banned my country, is there anyone to download GoogleEarthLinux.deb and upload it for me?! otherwise I have to download it with a proxy @ 10Kilobytes per sec :((
[07:38] <cclove> you may be the  chinese man
[07:39] <BlackWeb> Just curious is there a way to move the menu bar from the top of screen to bottom in 12.04
[07:39] <Vooloo> is 54 KB as ubuntu reports, kilobytes or kilobits?
[07:39] <f`ckJustinBieber> Vooloo, capital B is Bytes
[07:39] <f`ckJustinBieber> cclove, no
[07:40] <wilee-nilee> BlackWeb, I have not seen one, there is one to move the left panel to the bottom though.
[07:41] <BlackWeb> alright as far as color theme is there a app to  change the color
[07:44] <BlackWeb> I'll play with it a little more, thanks wilee-nilee
[07:45] <wilee-nilee> BlackWeb, cool the color is a tough one, there are themes a very limited amount on board but more on the web
[07:46] <dr_willis> webupd8 ppa  has some nice themes
[07:46] <wilee-nilee> I forget where the themes are on the install I have been usuing gnome-shell
[07:46] <dr_willis> they tend to have the 'best of  the breed' ;)
[07:47] <wilee-nilee> dr_willis, lotsa good stuff from them.
[07:47] <dr_willis> i just play with  the theme selection stuff till get a combo  i like,
[07:47] <dr_willis> often i cant duplicate the same look on a differnt box. ;)
[07:47] <alusion> dr_willis, i know where your name comes from now ;)
[07:48] <dr_willis> it comes from somewhere?
[07:48] <BlackWeb> is there away to make so, when i install a app then it doesnt automatically place it on the launcher, which i removed a tweeking program from launcher and now having hard time finding through dock./menu
[07:48] <alusion> It is a character from Ghost in the Shell actually.
[07:48] <hiland> free VPS root servers until my beta servers crash: zws.zaar.me
[07:49] <dr_willis> alusion:  dont recall.. i was using this nick befor the Ghost In th shell was around...
[07:49] <alusion> Since before 1996?
[07:49] <dr_willis> alusion:  since around 1986-8 or so i belive...
[07:50] <dr_willis> i cant recall when i started irc in college..
[07:50] <bawig1> has anyone else had wireless issues after upgrading to 12.04 LTS? I cannot connect to my access point anymore
[07:50] <alusion> IRC was around? Or was it the older bulletin board?
[07:50] <dr_willis> BlackWeb:  if you rember the  name you can use the Big button/dash or hud to search for it
[07:51] <KM0201> bawig1: wireless works fine here.. what wireless device do you have?
[07:51] <dr_willis> Earliest irc i recall was in about 1986  -  was on bbs;s befor that,
[07:51] <BlackWeb> cant really remember, going through my installed packages to try to find it,
