[08:07] <Mohith> what is this software
[08:07] <Timvde> I will be getting back my laptop from repair today. I think it's kinda stupid to install 11.10 now and reinstall in two weeks (I prefer fresh installs). If I install 12.04, will it just upgrade to the stable version and keep me there, or will I be stuck on development releases?
[08:07] <Jordan_U> !final | Timvde
[08:08] <Timvde> Jordan_U: Ty
[08:08] <Mohith> !!!!!!!111
[08:08] <Jordan_U> Timvde: You're welcome.

[08:09] <parenta> not that sacarlson
[08:09] <Mohith> hello
[08:09] <ilt> is it possible to install and run ubuntu on an external hard drive on a laptop that doesn't have any internal hard drive?
[08:09] <Mohith> yes
[08:10] <parenta> sacarlson : this output in one line
[08:10] <Mohith> just use universal usb installer

[08:11] <amn> what is last version of ubuntu ??
[08:11] <ilt> ok...but it's asking me "To create it, I will be using: mac / windows / ubuntu"....but i dont have any os at the moment. so what do i pick?
[08:12] <benjick> Hi. Do I have to upgrade to precise to get the latest version of PHP?
[08:12] <amn> what is last version of ubuntu ?
[08:12] <benjick> precise
[08:13] <Jordan_U> ilt: You need to have some OS to put Ubuntu's installer on a CD/USB drive to start with.
[08:14] <derebel> ok so i'm still not able to mount some dvds but now when i attempt to mount /dev/dvd i get mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
[08:14] <ilt> ah okay, now i see that universal usb installer is a program
[08:14] <ilt> thanks
[08:15] <Shape> Can anyone please recommend me a rigorous book to learn Linux commands and Linux in general?
[08:15] <almoxarife> is there a terminal command that will provide the complete command line of a process running? 'top' does not, gnome-system-monitor does (yes it's a graphics app) but without a way to capture the command line
[08:15] <benjick> almoxarife: htop?
[08:15] <Jordan_U> ilt: You're welcome. Note that Universal USB Installer will only install Ubuntu's *installer* to the USB. I recommend using a CD, or another USB drive, for Ubuntu's installer then installing to the main external drive as you would to an internal drive.

[08:17] <ferret_> almoxarife: unless you're going to reuse it to run the command, in which case it'd be better to put it in an arry

[08:24] <parenta> ok

[08:27] <comgen> I might be wrong the org question was muddy
[08:27] <sacarlson> comgen: I think what kartagis is saying that the standard man format is like   sudo adduser <username> [groupname]   where [] are used to denote as optional and <> is manditory
[08:28] <Kartagis> if you want to add user to a group, use gpasswd -a <user> <group>

[08:31] <JohnnyricoMC> Hey, anyone with preseeding-experience around?
[08:31] <sacarlson> benjick: it apears that php5 is already released all the way down for to lucid 10.04
[08:32] <meet> i have got a 10 yr old pc with winxp. was planning to install ubuntu 10.10 (as i experienced it to be less resource consuming.) but should i go with lubuntu ?
[08:32] <almoxarife> benjick: your suggestion for 'htop' was useful, thanks, lots of info that comes in handy, but if there is a way to capture text from the terminal window i can't find it.
[08:33] <comgen> meet : I run Lubuntu on most machines & several servers - good spin regardless of resources
[08:33] <meet> is it lighter than ubuntu 10.10 as they claim?
[08:33] <benjick> sacarlson: But there are so old versions
[08:34] <comgen> meet : yes is the short answer
[08:34] <JohnnyricoMC> My problem is: whenever my preseed-install reaches the tasksel-step, it fails: tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, ubuntu-desktop
[08:34] <sacarlson> benjick: yes you can install php4 also if you want old ones also
[08:34] <JohnnyricoMC> And I get a screen saying the failing step is "Select and install software"
[08:34] <benjick> sacarlson: Well, i want the newest, of course
[08:35] <meet> thanks comgen
[08:35] <sacarlson> benjick: some software will only run in old, it's all a mater of what you want to run
[08:35] <JohnnyricoMC> anyone have any ideas? What my own googling returned as suspect is partitioning, but I need the preseed file to automatically partition the disk (just use whole disk, wipe anything else on there)
[08:35] <Yaron-Heb> Guys, any idea how do I switch VLC's UI Language? (I tried LANG=he_IL.UTF-8, didn't work)
[08:35] <comgen> meet : * join us on IRC irc.freenode.net #lubuntu, #lxde
[08:36] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC: you want to setup auto install?
[08:36] <benjick> sacarlson: I got redirected to https://launchpad.net/~nathan-renniewaldock/+archive/ppa which was what I was looking for
[08:37] <benjick> So I'm going to use that
[08:38] <JohnnyricoMC> pretty much sacarlson, I'm trying to do a completely unattended install that wipes and uses the whole present harddisk, but it fails when reaching the tasksel-step
[08:38] <sacarlson> benjick: ya that might be newer                              php   5.4.0-1build1~ppa1~precise
[08:38] <JohnnyricoMC> trying to deploy 10.04
[08:39] <amn> amn
[08:39] <JohnnyricoMC> I'll make a paste of the preseed
[08:39] <Stormx2> Hey. Using gnome classic DE (hate all this netbook-orientated stuff). Compiz sometimes fails to start with lightdm. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't I have to open a terminal and do "compiz --replace &", if i can get keyboard focus. Any dieas?
[08:40] <JohnnyricoMC> http://pastie.org/3772976 this is the preseed, I've been replacing tabs with spaces as I was suspecting those
[08:41] <Stormx2> Issue 2: as of 11.10 my proprietary nvidia drivers completely mess up when running minecraft after a certain (seemingly random) interval. Whole DE slows down to a halt in a matter of seconds, with everything frozen after that. If I'm quick enough I can Ctrl+Alt+F1 and kill minecraft. Sometimes it just immediately blackscreens, forcing me to do a hard reboot.
[08:42] <iceroot> i have reinstalled my systemed and keeped the old encrypted home, /home is mounted automaticly but its not useable (still encrypted) what task is needed to auto-unencrypt /home? when i enter my credentials on lxdm home is not unencrypted
[08:42] <Stormx2> (card is an 8800GTX, works fine in 11.04 and prior)
[08:46] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC: seems I saw some other people  having problems with preeseed,  I thought I saw another method other than preseed that debian used
[08:47] <JohnnyricoMC> sacarlson, ubuntu is indeed supposed to support kickstart, but I tried that and couldn't get ubuntu to obey the kickstart-file
[08:48] <JohnnyricoMC> whereas with preseeding, it's a lot more obedient
[08:48] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC: oh ya it was kickstart that's mest up not preseed
[08:49] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC: and I saw a method to create the preseed file with the alternate ubuntu iso installer
[08:51] <Yaron-Heb> Guys, can you please help me switching VLC's UI language?
[08:53] <JohnnyricoMC> [10:49:23] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC: and I saw a method to create the preseed file with the alternate ubuntu iso installer
[08:54] <JohnnyricoMC> Hmmmm, I'll look into that
[08:54] <JohnnyricoMC> currently using an ubuntu server iso
[08:54] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC: that's the same ubuntu sever iso I think that the same as the alternate
[08:56] <JohnnyricoMC> Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. It's worth the try
[09:00] <abhinavmehta> I've ubuntu 10.10 machine, with python 2.6.5 installed. I want to update it to 2.7+ how to do that without building manually.
[09:01] <abhinavmehta> apt-get update && apt-get upgrade not working.
[09:01] <abhinavmehta> I mean, I've used them, but they were futile for my issue.
[09:02] <abhinavmehta> anyone here..about python..?
[09:02] <sacarlson> abhinavmehta: did you look in synaptic for your linux kernel of choice?  you can install it from there.  if you don't see what you want in the list check the ppa
[09:03] <abhinavmehta> hmm...
[09:03] <sacarlson> abhinavmehta: opps not kernel but python  can also be found in ppa
[09:04] <abhinavmehta> sacarlson: I found your typo-mistake earlier…and got what you saying.
[09:06] <Shape> Hello, I am looking to learn Linux and I can't decide whether to go with Fedora or Ubuntu (or something else). Can anyone provide me with some information about the difference between the two? I've looked on several websites but I still don't understand what the difference is.
[09:06] <abhinavmehta> sacarlson: its not in synaptic…couldn't found any ppa related to python
[09:07] <abhinavmehta> Shape: whats your primary use-cases..?
[09:07] <sacarlson> abhinavmehta: https://launchpad.net/~python-ubuntu/+archive/ppa
[09:08] <Shape> abhinavmehta: just to learn Linux in detal. I don't do any programming or anything like that.
[09:08] <codemaniac> hello i have a lame question
[09:08] <codemaniac> Sending email from GMail with my alias address
[09:08] <abhinavmehta> ohh…sorry again, I just forgot that there is something like launchpad for ubunters …..
[09:08] <codemaniac> any help is appreciated
[09:09] <abhinavmehta> Shape: than Ubuntu 11.10 or Fedora 16 both are good for you..
[09:09] <lucky105> hi
[09:10] <codemaniac> how can i senf from an alias address in gmail
[09:10] <abhinavmehta> Shape: you can use either of them coz if you learn any one of them, you will learn other too very easily
[09:10] <Shape> abhinavmehta I have heard fedora is harder to learn and not that user friendly is that correct?
[09:10] <sw> !ot | codemaniac
[09:10] <codemaniac> i have grepped out the whole web without any sucess
[09:10] <codemaniac> ubottu: thanks for the enlightment
[09:11] <abhinavmehta> Shape: not really, its just installing stuff using rpm is little complex….but once you get it…its very smooth.
[09:11] <abhinavmehta> Shape: and soon when you become amateur you will like to build/install things manually or from source…with more firm control on every pkg/app you have.
[09:13] <Shape> abhinavmehta Do you recommend any literature? Is this book good? Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming, A (2nd Edition) ?
[09:13] <sw> Shape: the only literature you need is '$ man'
[09:13] <lucky105> i bought netbook and installed 12.04. im not getting correct resolution of 1024x600
[09:13] <sw> !resolution | lucky105
[09:14] <abhinavmehta> Shape: I've never read that book, so no-idea….but I would agree with sw, and I'll recommend learn linux by-doing, rather reading...
[09:14] <abhinavmehta> Shape: take a topic, google it…check linux-forums/blogs and thats it.
[09:15] <lucky105> thanx i m trying it..
[09:16] <abhinavmehta> Shape: and once you ready something at somewhere…rmbr to practically execute it once…don't mug them.
[09:16] <Shape> abhinavmehta Thanks! I actually used Ubuntu 8.10 long time ago. But I found things a little weird, when it came to copy/pasting commands rather than actually understanding what I was doing
[09:17] <abhinavmehta> Shape: if you some doubt, come to its and ask here….this channel is very acive and members are really very helpful…don't copy-paste…try to understand concepts…everything is very intuitive

[09:19] <sacarlson> abhinavmehta: where are you putting you preseed.cfg file and how are you passing the file to the installer?
[09:20] <JermBob> is there a disk partitioning utility ?
[09:21] <JermBob> is there a way to findout all the things i can mount ?
[09:21] <sacarlson> JermBob: yes disk utility
[09:21] <JermBob> sacarlson: terminal ?
[09:21] <abhinavmehta> sacarlson: why I'll need pressed.cfg here..I've just added those deb-src links to sources.list, and will update it.
[09:21] <abhinavmehta> sacarlson: Am I'm doing something wrong.?
[09:21] <sacarlson> JermBob: no it's a gui
[09:22] <JermBob> sacarlson: i am going to need a terminal disk utility to use sorry

[09:26] <JohnnyricoMC> it's a deployment-tool that allows for easy management of various installation profiles etc
[09:27] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC: oh pxe
[09:27] <JohnnyricoMC> yep
[09:27] <JohnnyricoMC> it heavily uses pxe
[09:27] <JohnnyricoMC> the preseed is stored in /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/autobuntu.seed
[09:27] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC:  I just run pxe from one of my servers
[09:28] <JohnnyricoMC> uhu
[09:28] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC: ok and how do you tell it where that files is at boot?
[09:28] <JohnnyricoMC> Cobbler passes the kickstart to it
[09:28] <JohnnyricoMC> from an url
[09:29] <JohnnyricoMC> ah right, now I remember
[09:29] <JohnnyricoMC> it gives it through http
[09:29] <orangeblume> hello i have got a question here!!
[09:30] <orangeblume> hello i have got a question here!!
[09:30] <JohnnyricoMC> so basically cobbler gives the location as a boot parameter
[09:30] <paulus68> !patience|orangeblume
[09:31] <gotmilk> hi
[09:31] <JohnnyricoMC> the location being http://<IP_ADDRESS>/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/ubuntu-server-1104-i386

[09:33] <enchilado> JohnnyricoMC: URL is an initialism, pronounced as letters - U R L. Because the letter U is said with a Y sound, use the article 'a' rather than 'an'

[09:34] <kri51> Hi there
[09:34] <enchilado> looks like orangeblume to me, maybe you want to do /nick orangblume
[09:35] <kri51> I am trying to package a binary library, but i can´t find how to do this, all i found is to package from source
[09:35] <orangeblume> i do not know with this f*** ubuntu channel did not saved it but i will try again
[09:35] <kri51> Any hints?
[09:35] <orangeblume> so
[09:35] <CFHowlett> orangblume   *ask your ubuntu question*
[09:35] <paulus68> !language|orangeblume
[09:39] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC: ok thanks I'm reading the cobbler docs to see if I should install it or just make the needed changes in my pxe server to try it
[09:41] <JohnnyricoMC> I just made a centOS-VM for cobbler
[09:41] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC: in my pxe boot it just comes up like a live cd and it's all manual to install, so I'm going to try this preseed method to install to a virtualbox presents
[09:42] <JohnnyricoMC> then configured DNSmasq to only give out dhcp-leases to virtual machines (specific MAC-prefix)
[09:42] <JohnnyricoMC> and whenever I boot a VM into PXE, I get a blue selection menu to pick which installation profile I want
[09:42] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC: I've already use dhcp3 and will make the needed changes there
[09:43] <JohnnyricoMC> seems to get a bit further with alternate installer, but still fails. Is there some way to see verbose output in the installer?
[09:43] <robertzaccour> How do I record audio and video directly from my webcam?
[09:43] <ax562> anyone using blender?
[09:44] <sacarlson> JohnnyricoMC: yes there is another added option at boot install for text but I thought that was the default in the alternate installer
[09:45] <sacarlson> robertzaccour: look into vlc for that
[09:45] <murlidhar> hello all. how can i install java in order to play games online ?
[09:45] <JohnnyricoMC> Well, I'll check tomorrow since I have to catch a bus, thanks a lot for the help sacarlson

[09:46] <iceroot> iface eth0 inet dhcp   <- what is handling eth0 here? network-manager (nm-applet) is saying, device is not managed. is dhclient handling it directly? what is the correct way so that network-manager is handling it
[09:46] <JohnnyricoMC> hell, trying is helping
[09:47] <sacarlson> iceroot: if you want network manager to control it comment that line out
[09:48] <iceroot> sacarlson: so just auto eth0?
[09:48] <robertzaccour> sacarlson, what? vlc records from webcam?
[09:48] <quiescens> iceroot: no, nothing at all
[09:48] <sacarlson> iceroot: no I don't even think that should be there but without the iface line I guess it won't mater

[10:01] <i7c> Hey guys. I have xfce installed. works fine but everytime when i start my computer i google chrome asks again and again if it's supposed to be standard browser. and if i click a link outside the browser (irc client) it also asks everytime. where can i set it that it never asks anymore?

[10:02] <Steevca> Is it possible to download and install ubuntu for android?
[10:02] <popey> not yet Steevca
[10:02] <Steevca> popey, is there a date when it will be possible?
[10:03] <popey> Steevca: not yet
[10:03] <Steevca> Ok,thanks.
[10:03] <Ben64> android is an operating system, ubuntu is an operating system, it's impossible
[10:03] <OerHeks> i7c known issue, go into preferences, and set it default in the menu again, that would solve it.
[10:03] <CFHowlett> Steevca   ben64  http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[10:03] <i7c> OerHeks: thanks.
[10:03] <Steevca> Yeah i have read it,that is whay i am asking,there is no date. :P
[10:04] <Ben64> then it wouldn't be android
[10:04] <Ben64> or it'd just be a skin on top of android, which would make it not ubuntu

[10:32] <robertzaccour> popey, does it work in Gnome 3?
[10:33] <popey> robertzaccour: do you mean gnome shell?
[10:33] <robertzaccour> popey, yeah most people know it as 3
[10:34] <popey> robertzaccour: yeah, incorrectly ☺
[10:34] <popey> robertzaccour: i don't know, I don't use shell
[10:34] <popey> robertzaccour: try it and see, the developer hangs out in #kazam, nice chap too ☺

[10:44] <Psytonic> I'm trying to install Valgrind, but getting the following error when apt-get'in it >>> valgrind: Depends: libc6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
[10:45] <ax562> anyone know how to compile without errors in netbeans, c++?
[10:45] <Psytonic> so I tried it on lbc6-dbg and i got >>> libc6-dbg: Depends: libc6 (= 2.11.1-0ubuntu7) but 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.8 is to be installed
[10:46] <Psytonic> any ideas whay?
[10:46] <Psytonic> why***
[10:46] <sw> Psytonic: '$ sudo apt-get -f install'
[10:46] <Psytonic> does nothing
[10:46] <Psytonic> thats what all the websites say to do :S
[10:48] <fishcooker> how to get remote desktop like windows os
[10:48] <fishcooker> i wanto remote session
[10:48] <sw> !vnc | fishcooker
[10:49] <fishcooker> have u tried nomachine.com sw
[10:49] <Psytonic> <3 freenx
[10:49] <sw> fishcooker: no
[10:49] <Psytonic> theres also a windows rdp implementation in linux, but i forget what its called
[10:50] <sw> Psytonic: there's no need to keep evaluating everything compared to Windows - it's not as if it's a standard for anything ;-)
[10:51] <Psytonic> sw: he was asking about windows
[10:51] <Psytonic> ...sorta
[10:52] <Psytonic> maybe I should just find my memory management bugs instead of installing toos to do it for me...
[10:52] <ax562> anyone know how to compile without errors in netbeans, c++?
[10:52] <Psytonic> ax562: fix the errors? :P
[10:53] <Psytonic> ax562: whatya mean?
[10:53] <sw> ax562: can you paste bin the errors?
[10:53] <hamacii> hello, i've tried using hamachi on linux with http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/hamachi but every time i try to enter a command i get "This is an online operation and you are not logged in"
[10:55] <ax562> yeah but what website should i use
[10:55] <ax562> noon
[10:55] <ax562> noob
[10:55] <OerHeks> hamacii, well, open an account & login first ?
[10:56] <hamacii> OerHeks: you don't need an account to use hamachi
[10:56] <OerHeks> hamacii, yes you do, with logmein
[10:57] <hamacii> OerHeks: no i've started hamachi on my windows computer and i didn't have to create an account
[10:57] <hamacii> OerHeks: sudo hamachi login -> Logging in ..... failed
[10:58] <hamacii> OerHeks: maybe the problem is that i'm behind the workplace firewall or something?
[10:58] <Psytonic> logging in usually requires a username and password somewhere
[10:58] <Psytonic> otherwise they usually call it something else
[10:58] <sw> yes, or there's no point in the logging in part ...
[10:59] <Psytonic> like...connect
[10:59] <sw> hamacii: can you '$ man hamachi' and scroll down to the login part and read it, please? :-)
[10:59] <hamacii> sw: http://i.imgur.com/e9J5a.png
[11:00] <hamacii> there's nothing about logging in there: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/hamachi you just start hamachi and connect to the network the other person created
[11:00] <hamacii> with the correct password
[11:01] <hamacii> with sudo hamachi join NETWORK PASSWORD
[11:01] <mauror> Is Ubuntu 12.04 already frozen?
[11:01] <sw> !12.01 | mauror
[11:01] <sw> !12.04 | mauror
[11:01] <sw> sorry! I'm making up versions now ...
[11:01] <mauror> I have found a little bug in the intaller  of beta2
[11:03] <sw> mauror: #ubuntu+1 please
[11:03] <Psytonic> hamacii: then you probably have to specify something when you try to login, like the network name and password?
[11:03] <Psytonic> or tever
[11:04] <hamacii> Psytonic: not according to: http://i.imgur.com/e9J5a.png
[11:04] <Psytonic> no idea
[11:04] <hamacii> Psytonic: there's something weird though, just like in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1170700, i don't have a ipv4 ip for the ham0 interface when doing ifconfig

[11:07] <Draconicus> Heyo. Emerald window manager has stopped working after the removal of overlay-scroolbars. Any ideas?
[11:07] <ax562> http://pastie.org/3773498
[11:07] <opalepatrick> thanks sw, I am compiling gimp 2.8rc1 and need to update  a few packages. Any idea what would be the sensible way?
[11:08] <Draconicus> Seems I somehow lost libemeraldengine...
[11:08] <opalepatrick> oh component main
[11:08] <OerHeks> !emerald
[11:08] <ax562> anyone know how to compile without errors in netbeans, c++?
[11:08] <Draconicus> Pfft. You guys are butts. :P
[11:08] <eutheria> ax562, yeah you write better code
[11:09] <Draconicus> Fixed it myself. For anyone who cares to help in the future, removing overlay-scrollbars tends to remove libemeraldengine0 for some reason.
[11:09] <Draconicus> The end.
[11:09] <Psytonic> ax562: thats a make file problem

[11:14] <Bndrr> hi duddes
[11:17] <Bndrr> how can I speed up my terminal ?
[11:17] <DMJC> trying to setup some simple routing, got A-B-C-internet
[11:17] <jasonmsp> anyone know a good GUI editor for a .db file?
[11:17] <DMJC> need to pass traffic from A through B to the internet
[11:17] <Bndrr> DMJC, what ?
[11:18] <ikonia> jasonmsp: thats a database file, depends what type of database
[11:18] <jasonmsp> its a contacts database from evolution's addressbook
[11:19] <jasonmsp> I want to see if I can pull data in manually
[11:19] <ikonia> jasonmsp: I think (not sure that's sqlite)
[11:19] <ikonia> jasonmsp: you need to find out what type of database it is first, before progressing anything else
[11:20] <DMJC> I got DNS lookups working correctly from A-B-internet
[11:20] <DMJC> but I can't ping hosts from A
[11:20] <DMJC> I can ping stuff on my internal network, but not internet hosts.
[11:21] <ikonia> DMJC: sounds like your gateway is not forwarding packets
[11:22] <DMJC> ikonia? it is
[11:22] <ikonia> DMJC: how do you know ?
[11:22] <jasonmsp> ikonia: from a forum:  "addressbook.db" is a BerkeleyDb database that stores information (including VCard records) for Evolution:
[11:22] <ikonia> jasonmsp: Hmmm there are quite a few berkley DB editors, look up some offerings from sleepycat
[11:22] <DMJC> I can ping the host from outside the gateway to the machine inside it
[11:23] <ikonia> DMJC: that doesn't mean it's forwarding
[11:23] <DMJC> and I can ping from inside the gateway to the outside host
[11:23] <DMJC> ok,
[11:23] <ikonia> DMJC: so what can't you ping ?
[11:23] <DMJC> from inside my gateway to the internet
[11:23] <DMJC> I can dig google.com but can't ping it
[11:23] <ikonia> DMJC: you just said you could do that
[11:23] <ikonia> 2:23 < DMJC> and I can ping from inside the gateway to the outside host
[11:23] <ikonia> outside host = internet
[11:24] <DMJC> nono
[11:24] <DMJC> sorry let me explain, I have PC1 - 1Fileserver2 - Internet
[11:24] <DMJC> the numbers are network interfaces.
[11:24] <ikonia> DMJC: on the same host ?
[11:25] <DMJC> 1fileserver2 has two interfaces on the same host
[11:25] <ikonia> DMJC: oh, I see what you mean
[11:25] <DMJC> the fileserver is on my lan which is net connected
[11:25] <mzcl-mn> hello everybody!
[11:25] <ikonia> DMJC: yes, I see what you are saying
[11:25] <ikonia> DMJC: so what's not working ?
[11:26] <mzcl-mn> and beforehand sorry if I may seem intrusive..
[11:26] <KooolaNL> guys
[11:26] <DMJC> PC can't ping the net, can ping hosts inside/outside the gateway
[11:26] <DMJC> but not the internet
[11:26] <KooolaNL> where did freenx go ?
[11:26] <DMJC> but I can do lookups
[11:26] <ikonia> DMJC: outside the gateway ?
[11:26] <KooolaNL> E: Couldn't find package freenx
[11:26] <ikonia> DMJC: what are you talking about, anything outside the gateway is the internet
[11:26] <KooolaNL> is wat i get when i apt-get
[11:26] <Bndrr> i need performance my ubuntu? what app can i install ?
[11:26] <ikonia> DMJC: what device is your PC using as the gateway
[11:27] <mzcl-mn> well, does anyone know how to install gallium on amd rv620?
[11:28] <Bndrr> I need nice tools for ubuntu . pls ??
[11:29] <jpds> !best | Bndrr
[11:29] <DMJC> I hope that explained it better
[11:29] <KooolaNL> guys
[11:29] <ikonia> DMJC: what ?
[11:29] <KooolaNL> i want to install freenx
[11:29] <fishcooker> what apps should be installed by novice user?
[11:29] <KooolaNL> but the package cant be found
[11:29] <fishcooker> kooolanl
[11:29] <KooolaNL> any ideas ?
[11:29] <fishcooker> try nomachine.com
[11:30] <KooolaNL> im using terminal
[11:30] <Bndrr> oky doky jpds
[11:30] <mzcl-mn> can anyone help me to install the gallium driver?
[11:30] <KooolaNL> step 5
[11:30] <KooolaNL> sudo apt-get install freenx
[11:30] <ax562> thanks...gnight.
[11:30] <KooolaNL> i do that
[11:30] <zvacet> fishcooker: depende
[11:30] <DMJC> ikonia: I private messaged you
[11:30] <KooolaNL> package not found
[11:30] <ikonia> DMJC: sorry I didn't read it,
[11:30] <zvacet> *depends
[11:30] <ikonia> DMJC: what device is your PC using as a gateway ?
[11:30] <mzcl-mn> :)
[11:31] <fishcooker> desktop apps should be installed on novice user ubuntu
[11:32] <Bndrr> løl
[11:32] <zvacet> fishcooker: I prefer clean desktop so it is user choice
[11:32] <mzcl-mn> do you guys know how to install gallium drivers?
[11:33] <Bndrr> zvacet, but what type of apps u have ?
[11:35] <zvacet> mzcl-mn: is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1451727 of any help?
[11:35] <DMJC> pastebin.com/z5hbZEJt
[11:35] <DMJC> explains it better
[11:36] <mzcl-mn> zvacet: I'll try out thanks!!
[11:36] <zvacet> Bndrr:  torrent client web browesr,terminal,and few others are in my unity launcher
[11:36] <DMJC> laptop can ping PC and PC can ping laptop but PC can't ping internet
[11:36] <ikonia> DMJC: right, so your gateway machine is not routing / forwarding packets
[11:36] <DMJC> PC can resolve DNS tho
[11:36] <ikonia> DMJC: the laptop/PC can talk to each other as they are on the same network
[11:37] <DMJC> yes
[11:37] <fishcooker> zvacet : suppose that im windows user migration new
[11:37] <zvacet> mzcl-mn: np
[11:37] <ikonia> DMJC: right, so the laptop/pc pinging each other has no relevence
[11:37] <DMJC> ok
[11:37] <ikonia> DMJC: the bottom line is the device you are using as a gateway machine is not forwarding packets to the router, OR the router is not forwarding packets for anything not directly connected to it
[11:38] <mzcl-mn> zvacet: I know
[11:38] <mzcl-mn> zvacet: you're right
[11:38] <zvacet> fishcooker:  If you want to play games then linux is not best option other stuff you can do like you did it in Windows do you have some special app in mind
[11:38] <mzcl-mn> zvacet: it is not my chip
[11:39] <DMJC> ikonia, should I setup route paths from my modem's external interface?
[11:39] <ikonia> DMJC: ??? sorry you're not making any sense
[11:39] <DMJC> I haven't studied routing in ages, what should the gateway be configured to do?
[11:40] <ikonia> DMJC: the machine you are using as a gateway has to forward packaets via routing to the public internet, which means it has to forward packets to the router
[11:40] <DMJC> I've enabled IPv4 forwarding
[11:40] <JensenDan> and now crash.. brb
[11:40] <ikonia> DMJC: that's not routing
[11:40] <DMJC> ok
[11:40] <zvacet> mzcl-mn: all I can find googling fast look at http://www.googlubuntu.com/ type what are you looking for and hope for the best
[11:40] <ikonia> DMJC: your laptops are on a private IP address range if you forward that IP range onto the public internet it will vanish
[11:41] <ikonia> !cs | DMJC
[11:41] <ikonia> oops
[11:41] <ikonia> sorry

[11:55] <subthalamus> when installing grub on btrfs from liveusb, what should the mount state be of target partitions/subvols?
[11:56] <Yaaaaaa> I have a phone with a micro sd card in it, this phone is usb to my ubuntu box but no disk showes up in fdisk etc. Bus 002 Device 007: ID 1004:618e LG Electronics, Inc. Ally/Optimus One/Vortex (debug mode) shows up in lsusb how do I access the sd card on the phone ?
[11:56] <ikonia> subthalamus: you'll need the /boot partition to be mounted as well as the / partition
[11:56] <Yaaaaaa> its an android phone and is rooted if that helps.
[11:56] <subthalamus> ikonia: they are one and the same
[11:58] <subthalamus> ikonia: the installer routine is saying it is failing to access it
[11:58] <ikonia> subthalamus: ok, so you only need that one partition mounted
[11:58] <philipp_1> someone know how to get this annoying scrollbars permanent again?
[11:58] <ikonia> subthalamus: does the installer support /boot on btrfs ?
[11:59] <subthalamus> ikonia: yea, it even has a line u change
[11:59] <yaboo> installed ubuntu 11.10 desktop and hooked it up to my 32" lcd, it seems the screen is larger than the lcd, and the trashcan is off the screen
[11:59] <yaboo> how can I make the desktop fit on the screen
[12:00] <ikonia> subthalamus: so can you explain what you mean by not seeing it
[12:00] <ikonia> subthalamus: or failing to access it
[12:02] <subthalamus> ikonia: well, the error is cryptic so I'm not sure
[12:02] <subthalamus> could be either
[12:02] <philipp_1> you know what i mean? when i try to scroll i have to go to the right border of the window... than a scrollbar apears outsite... when i wanna use it it vanishes =(
[12:02] <ikonia> subthalamus: is the installer creating btrfs or have you created it manually before running the installer ?

[12:03] <subthalamus> ikonia: installler creating it
[12:03] <ikonia> knytmare: what version of ubuntu is that ?
[12:03] <subthalamus> ikonia: technically, it already exists and I'm telling the install not to format it
[12:03] <ikonia> subthalamus: curious to what happens if you let the installer create it at install time
[12:04] <knytmare> ikonia 10.04
[12:05] <subthalamus> ikonia: my data gets overwritten, heh
[12:05] <ikonia> knytmare: loooks like it didn't install, remove/purge the package and re-install it, pay attention for any errors, make sure your browser is closed when removing/re-installing
[12:05] <ikonia> subthalamus: well, that part I know, I meant in terms of the installer being able to use it
[12:06] <knytmare> ikonia, i've done all possible things still wondering why, got stucked here, and completely clueless on what i should do,
[12:06] <OerHeks> knytmare, did you restart your browser after install flashplugin ?
[12:06] <ikonia> knytmare: just told you what to do next
[12:06] <philipp_1> you know what i mean? when i try to scroll i have to go to the right border of the window... than a scrollbar apears outsite... when i wanna use it it vanishes =(
[12:07] <knytmare> ikonia, the error happened after updating some tools,
[12:07] <ikonia> knytmare: again, I've just told you what to do

[12:08] <subthalamus> philipp_1: try using native screen resolution or figure out why it is misidentifying that monitor/tv
[12:09] <philipp_1> subthalamus: i do -.- its the window manager...
[12:09] <subthalamus> philipp_1: dont see how it would be the window manager
[12:11] <knytmare> i will just try to figure it out

[12:23] <Richard_Cavell> ok
[12:23] <Richard_Cavell> JermBob: are they mounted at all right now?
[12:23] <ericP> i'd rather aptitude/synaptic/whatever didn't offer to upgrade anything but the boost packages when it seens newer versions in "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian wheezy main"
[12:24] <JermBob> Richard_Cavell: i dont think so. i honestly forgotten how to

[12:24] <Hannesver> Hello, I've got this problem, I've followed this tutorial on setting up Eclipse for ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE. I've followed everything perfectly, but when I run the script, it says that /home/hannes/opt/eclipse/eclipse doesn't excist. While it actually does. Anyone familiar with this problem?
[12:25] <ericP> dlentz, yeah, boost-log's trunk requires > 1.48

[12:25] <Richard_Cavell> JermBob: Mate I'm not the best person to help you with this
[12:25] <ericP> (and the old boost-log stuff worked with 1.42 but doens't work with 1.46 so i got forced by that upgrade)
[12:25] <kpow> google says i need to change hdmi output to RGB instead of ypbpr any1 knows how?
[12:26] <Richard_Cavell> JermBob: But I might ask whether they mount in Windows, if you're also booting Windows
[12:26] <Yaaaaaa> JermBob: /etc/fstab and /etc/samba/smb.conf
[12:26] <JermBob> Richard_Cavell:  that fine

[12:28] <Guest79298> hey anyone use libre office  in here and if so for example ( if cells c1-c2= a negative number) can i have it automaticly display as RED and Positive as black or is that even posible
[12:28] <ericP> dlentz, what's the mechanism for installing precise's 1.48 in oneric?
[12:29] <fidel> Guest79298: as you are asking that in multiple channels - it is possible in MS excel and most likely as well in libre/oo. but i cant tell you how ;)
[12:30] <dlentz> just grab the .deb's from ubuntu packages and install them (i don't see any conflicts since they're separate packages and don't depend on anything ultra-recent)
[12:31] <fidel> Guest79298: regarding libre -> consider asking in the matching channel: #libreoffice
[12:31] <Guest79298> fidel well i was just curious it would be nice for something i am doing right now in libre office
[12:32] <fidel> well - ask in the matching channel then - better chance to get help. question is not really ubuntu-related. good luck ;)

[12:46] <Pici> Bndrr: Cron doesn't know anything about events like the computer waking up, what are you trying to do?
[12:47] <Bndrr> Pici,  wake up my system when it's off
[12:47] <Bndrr> cron is just for tasks ?
[12:47] <Pici> Bndrr: cron isn't going to run if the computer is off.. nothing is running when the computer is off.
[12:47] <Bndrr> I know.
[12:48] <Pici> Bndrr: Your computer would need to support wake-on-lan, and you'd need to trigger that via some other computer on the network.
[12:48] <Bndrr> for example for open the gedit automatically ? where's the location ?
[12:48] <fidel> cron can trigger tasks after startup
[12:48] <fidel> if that helps
[12:48] <Bndrr> cron -e /??/???/...
[12:48] <fidel> dont do such things with cron
[12:48] <fidel> your desktop env should offer such user-login related thingds
[12:49] <fidel> it makes sense to use cron - but for system stuff - i wouldnt use it for 'user autostart' kind of things
[12:50] <Bndrr> ofc.
[12:51] <Epyc> Hi, is there anybody that can help me with random restarting problems? OS: ubuntu server 8.04.
[12:51] <fidel> Epyc: an reason why you are using 8.04 in the first place?
[12:52] <fidel> 8.04 sounds heavily outdated
[12:52] <Epyc> I'm in a small company, everything is installed on this system, and I don't want to risk losing anything
[12:52] <zacktu> i have an extra partition on my disk that i want to mount -- i have used the gparted on the live cd to format it -- the partition is ok the first time that i reboot -- i then add the partition to /etc/fstab and reboot again -- now the partition is inaccessible -- what are the tools to diagnose and fix?
[12:52] <AdvoWork> any idea how I can scan my network to find switches only?
[12:52] <fidel> so you'll use 8.04 until the end of your life? ;)
[12:53] <if124> well, it is still supported until 2013
[12:53] <dlentz> fidel, hardy server is supported for another year...
[12:53] <Epyc> that's not the issue... it should work, shouldn't it
[12:54] <fidel> true - lts release. but it still sounds like it could make sense to jump to i.e. 10.04 (current lts) or am i wrong
[12:54] <dlentz> Epyc, have you checked for overheating?
[12:54] <Epyc> yes i have, no overheating
[12:54] <Epyc> voltage seems fine too
[12:54] <Epyc> point is, we have a tapestreamer
[12:54] <Epyc> working with bacula
[12:55] <fidel> Epyc: checked ram/memory?
[12:55] <Epyc> no i haven't, which program should i use?
[12:55] <Bndrr> I've a bit overheating
[12:56] <Bndrr> what's bacula Epyc ??
[12:56] <Epyc> bacula is backup software for a tapestreamer
[12:56] <if124> Epyc : package memtester maybe?
[12:56] <Epyc> okay will try that one
[12:56] <fidel> Epyc: memtest is one option
[12:56] <Bndrr> oh
[12:56] <Epyc> it seems it restarts whenever i'm trying to backup with bacula
[12:57] <Epyc> the system ran fine for a day without the tapestreamer connected
[12:57] <fidel> any output to the logs Epyc?
[12:57] <Epyc> nopes
[12:57] <Epyc> checked everything
[12:57] <Epyc> kern.log, syslog, messages
[12:57] <Epyc> seems to just restart without a reason
[12:59] <kneemoe> ?
[13:04] <doherty> I want to enable the non-free nvidia driver, but the last time I did that, my system couldn't do any graphics at all, I could only boot into recovery mode. If that happens again, how can I disable the driver from recovery mode so I can boot my graphical desktop?
[13:06] <Epyc> anybody other ideas on how to debug this problem, i'm doing a memory test now
[13:06] <dlentz> doherty, what kind of nvidia card do you have?
[13:06] <darrin> any word on when the Gimp ppa will be fixed?
[13:07] <Epyc> we have a rack with a few servers in it, so i thought it was a power surge, changed to another power output, no changes
[13:07] <doherty> dlentz: `lspci | grep -ie nvidia` reports "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 06fd (rev a1)"
[13:07] <if124> doherty: apt-get remove nvidia-* maybe?
[13:08] <doherty> if124: last time I did that, I couldn't get any graphics at all (couldn't boot into single user mode, even!)
[13:08] <doherty> if124: I reinstalled, and avoided the nvidia driver until now
[13:09] <derebel> the author field in libre office had some incorrect capitalization that i only found after completing a document and adding a header, even after correcting this in tools > options the field remains uncorrected, do i need to create a new document or can this be fixed?
[13:13] <boom0192> clear
[13:14] <if124> doherty: iirc drivers overwrite lots of things, you need to do apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
[13:14] <boom0192> quit()
[13:14] <boom0192> \quit
[13:15] <if124> there may be more packages to reinstall
[13:15] <delinquentme> if i setup a task with rake tasks theyll work properly with any system which has rake right? but if i use cron the same code might not run the same on an ubuntu system vrs a debian right?
[13:15] <dackyshawn> clear

[13:29] <zeroEvidence> Thanks Pici.
[13:30] <MarKsaitis> Pici, what do I do about it? How do I reset it to default? I am using latest ubuntu 11.10
[13:30] <thunder1212> it comes with software for  linux also but that only supports 10.04 and 10.10 .. am using 11,04 right now.. what to do?
[13:30] <Pici> MarKsaitis: You could either use -A with pstree.... or explain what terminal are you using?
[13:31] <MarKsaitis> Pici, im using putty and ssh?
[13:31] <Pici> MarKsaitis: From the putty options, choose translation and make sure that it is set to UTF-8
[13:32] <MarKsaitis> Pici, how do i rather change my linux os ssh to use unicode?
[13:32] <MarKsaitis> or whatever needs to be changed here, unicode is better isnt it
[13:33] <Pici> MarKsaitis: its just data, it should already be supported, there may be some weirdness if you're running through screen though.

[13:34] <Pici> MarKsaitis: So make the change in your putty config and see if it works.
[13:34] <MarKsaitis> Pici, the same putty config works fine with other ubuntu server, it's just this server, therefore I believe there is something to change in a server?

[13:41] <Myrtti> KittyTeeth: you can use imagebin.org like the bot suggested
[13:41] <opalepatrick> where can I pick up glib2.0_2.30.3 package?
[13:41] <opalepatrick> tried !info but not putting the right thing in I think
[13:41] <MarKsaitis> Pici, but that lang says utf-8 ... I want unicode I bet
[13:42] <MarKsaitis> can somebody do echo $LANG on your normal ubuntu install, does it say utf8?
[13:42] <soa2ii> Hi there. If I install the 12.04 beta will it just get updates if 12.04 is stable or will this result in a greater dist-upgrade?
[13:42] <auronandace> !final | soa2ii
[13:43] <KittyTeeth> well I am having a difficult time. Every day there is an issue. Today is the audio and all I do i read read read and still don't understand. Getting really disgusted with this system. You guys are very helpful and appreciate your service.
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> KittyTeeth  that's called 'learning', a phase you go through for Windows too
[13:44] <KittyTeeth> been learning for one and a half years and every program or thing has an issue.  Thanks guys.
[13:45] <Chaosadnd> Best learning method is failing at something!
[13:45] <sss1234> Should I remove a package before installing its dbg version?
[13:46] <foobArrr> why is my .xsession-errors 35M big and partially filled with binary data? :/
[13:47] <if124> sss1234 : maybe not, -dbg packages contain debug symbols only i think
[13:48] <GeForce88> nvclock for amd64 11.10 packages causes seg fault with any flags besides -h. is there another package useable to control clock speeds ?
[13:49] <if124> sss1234 : i just read in apt-cache that -dbg packages actually depends on the original version
[13:50] <billy_ran_away> Can anyone tell me if the freeradius package still lacks EAP-TLS support?
[13:50] <GirlyGirl_> GeForce88: Or maybe its the overclocked gpu and not nvclock which causes this? Why do you need overclocking on Linux?
[13:51] <GeForce88> no, it's nvclock. i use it to control fan. it's worked on everythign till 11.10. it's not the gpu
[13:51] <synergizm> hey guys can anyone tell me why the compiz ppa doesnt work anymore? :/

[13:52] <synergizm> ubuntu 11.10
[13:52] <MonkeyDust> synergizm  compiz does not need a ppa in 11.10
[13:53] <GirlyGirl_> synergizm: Only packages for maverick and earlier there
[13:53] <GirlyGirl_> synergizm: Besides using compiz from an external source will probably break unity
[13:54] <MonkeyDust> synergizm  in a terminal, type lsb_release -sd and paste the outcome here
[13:54] <synergizm> GirlyGirl_ yeah thats true but when i installed compiz couple weeks ago it was working if i recall correctly
[13:55] <thunder1212> i have a problem with huawei modem ec 306 (internet usb dongle) i am running ubuntu 11.04 and the modem is not working (lsusb displays the modem but that it), kindly tell how i can configure it..
[13:55] <GirlyGirl_> synergizm: From where did you install compiz ... it is already included in 11.10? assuming Ubuntu and not Kubuntu or Xubuntu
[13:55] <synergizm> MonkeyDust 11.10
[13:55] <synergizm> as i said before ^^

[13:56] <MonkeyDust> synergizm  Unity = Gnome 3 + compiz, why do you dowwnload a ppa for compiz, what are you tryig to do?
[13:56] <synergizm> GirlyGirl_ first i used the softwarecenter but got bad results doing so. so i used launchpad
[13:56] <MonkeyDust> HelenB  byzanz
[13:57] <eugzol> Hey guys, I have a question for a real Linux guru. On every machine I use, with every single user, I had to go over and over these lines: # uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned
[13:57] <eugzol> # off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window
[13:57] <eugzol> # should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt. I want to run 'git/svn blame' or something on them and know the name of the bastard who first introduced them into default bashrc, so that I have a chance to get revenge someday. How do I do that?
[13:57] <FloodBot1> eugzol: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:57] <synergizm> MonkeyDust not rly sure myself i installed it couple of weeks ago so im not rly sure anymore
[13:58] <opalepatrick> HOw can I get this package - glib2.0 - 2.30.3-0ubuntu1~oneiric1  - from a repo? THe version in/on my system is older. Is this not in a standard repo?
[13:58] <ratcheer> HelenB: I saw something like that in the Linux news stream a couple of days ago. But I didn't make any note of it. It does exist, though.
[13:58] <thunder1212> GirlyGirl: what shoul i do?
[13:58] <synergizm> well nvm if u say it doesnt need a ppa im fine i guess ^^
[13:58] <GirlyGirl_> synergizm: 1) It is already included with ubuntu 11.10! Using a ppa version etc will cause problems and is not supportes especially if you have unity. Besides unity is a compiz plugin itself
[13:58] <if124> HelenB : package gtk-recordmydesktop ?
[13:59] <HelenB> MonkeyDust, E: Unable to locate package byzanz

[14:03] <if124> HelenB : it works for me. it just have one ridiculous glitch that you have to save as _before_ you record.

[14:14] <Minnebo> thx for the channel
[14:15] <if124> dlentz : it seems it turns it off, thanks. i guess i didn't just consider that the option for toggling sounds doubles as the option for toggling notifications.
[14:16] <freddy__> Hi - I have a problem with my ubuntu one. I want to sync it with thunderbird ubuntu v.11.10 but when going into addressbook and trying to drag the names from the personal address book, the ubuntu one adress book seems locked... ?
[14:17] <keithzz> Hi guys, Im running on Dell Celeron laptop ubuntu 10.10, since its not supported anymore I was thinking of upgrading (fresh installation to ubuntu 12.04 or 11.10, do you think it is advisable? would I  take a performance hit?

[14:19] <if124> )
[14:19] <escott> ponrajuganesh, sudo service anacron restart

[14:20] <ZenGuy311> keithzz:  when in doubt use xubuntu
[14:20] <Absolute0> \n
[14:21] <Absolute0> When I ssh into a ubuntu machine I get that nice ssh welcome message, how can I get rid of it just for my user's logins?
[14:21] <zxiest> Hello everybody :-)
[14:21] <MonkeyDust> keithzz  i guess 12.04 is stable enough to install, support in #ubuntu+1
[14:21] <dlentz> keithzz, you should use 12.04 beta or wait for 12.04 (only a few weeks) if you don't like to upgrade because it's supported for five years
[14:21] <freddy__> Problem with ubuntu one and thunderbird ... when installing the extras from ubuntu one control panel _two_ adress lists shows up in thunderbird .. one called personal and one called ubuntu one ?
[14:22] <zxiest> I'm using 11.10 and my sda1 is using a chunk of sda. I tried using diskpart to extend its size but I'm unable to. I looked up solutions online and I moved the swap disk to the far right but there's always some unallocated space that was being used by the swap on the right of my sda1.
[14:22] <zxiest> What can I do?
[14:23] <keithzz> Thanks guys, but Im concerned with the performance, I heard 12.04 is slowish, and Im running on celeron...so..Should I be worried?
[14:23] <intore___> hi, how can i do to set by default some programs and folders for next users will use an ubuntu machine? do i have to customize /etc/skel/?
[14:23] <The_Pugilist> hello all, after plugging a sata hard drive into a running ubuntu 10.04 box it will not show up... is there a way to force detection of new hardware (other than rebooting)
[14:23] <if124> keithzz : try from livecd first before installing
[14:24] <MonkeyDust> The_Pugilist  mount it, first, type sudo fdisk -l to find out the dev name
[14:24] <cristian_c> Hi
[14:25] <cristian_c> I would like to set the file / usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf correctly
[14:25] <cristian_c> to configure the touchpad gestures
[14:26] <escott> The_Pugilist, if the device hotplugged properly, but the partition tables need updating you could try partprobe
[14:27] <cristian_c> I would like to set the pinch, drag the circular scrolling and tap with two fingers or more
[14:28] <cristian_c> any suggestions?
[14:28] <MonkeyDust> !gpointing-device-settings| cristian_c
[14:29] <cristian_c> I can also post the current contents of synaptics.conf
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  find gpointing-device-settings in the repos
[14:30] <zxiest> Do you guys know how I can extend my sda1? I'm using gparted live
[14:30] <escott> zxiest, you probably need to resize the extended partition (which is tricky because the swap is likely inside the extended). the gui might allow you to do that without messing up the swap, but if the only thing in the extended partition is the swap it might be easier to just delete it and create a new one
[14:30] <zxiest> escott I moved the swap to the right hand side
[14:30] <tutysra> i having issues booting into ubuntu after installing 11.10 in Lenovo x120e, I installed it using alternate-amd64 the iso
[14:30] <zxiest> escott I have an unallocated partition in the middle
[14:31] <MonkeyDust> tutysra  is the hardware 64bit capable?
[14:32] <tutysra> yes it is 64 bit capable
[14:32] <escott> zxiest, i think i know what is going on. it looks like [sda1 [ unallocated sda5 (swap)] ] what you aren't realizing tis that [unallocated swap] is itself a partition called an extended partition, and so you cannot increase the size of sda1 without making the extended partition smaller
[14:32] <xgt001> hi , is 30% cpu usage while playing videos abnormal?
[14:32] <The_Pugilist> MonkeyDust, it does not show up when running a fdisk -l
[14:32] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, I did not find these options in gpointingdevices
[14:32] <zxiest> escott it looks like after restarting I can now delete the partition stuck in the middle (I had deallocated it before)
[14:32] <The_Pugilist> escott, i will try partprobe, hold
[14:33] <zxiest> escott now I'm able to resize my main partition :-)
[14:34] <tutysra> @MonkeyDust - as per the community page - there were issues with EFI boot and they have given instructions to purge grub-efi and instead install grub-pc. I had did the workaround and installed grub-pc and still it doesn't boot into ubuntu, It saya 'No Operating System Found'
[14:34] <zxiest> is /sda2 needed?
[14:34] <MonkeyDust> The_Pugilist  it's sudo fdisk -l
[14:35] <tutysra> @MonkeyDust - this is the community page I was referring to - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/X120e#Installation
[14:35] <intore___> hi, how can i do to set by default some programs and folders for next users will use an ubuntu machine? do i have to customize /etc/skel/?
[14:35] <escott> tutysra, if you are trying a bios compatible boot on an efi system with a gpt partition table you need to have a bios-grub partition (1mb is sufficient)
[14:37] <zxiest> escott thank you very much for your help :-) All worked out :-)
[14:37] <The_Pugilist> sorry, MonkeyDust, i meant to say that it does not shot up with sudo fdisk -l
[14:38] <MonkeyDust> The_Pugilist  try sudo blkid
[14:40] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, I tried touchegg, but but there must be something wrong with gestures, they should be set into synaptics.conf
[14:40] <opalepatrick> ubuntu 11.10 (64) unity. I need to install glib2 version 2.30.2 or greater but the repos only have 2.30.0 - How can I do this? Been faffing about for ages.
[14:40] <HelenB> GirlyGirl, RecordItNow doesn't work. :(
[14:40] <mi3> 2hello!
[14:41] <HelenB> yes
[14:41] <HelenB> I saved it
[14:41] <mi3> sorry *hello!

[14:41] <HelenB> it doesn't play
[14:41] <HelenB> no errors
[14:41] <MarKsaitis> My minimal ubuntu install uses 285 000 mb ram. is this normal?
[14:41] <opalepatrick> I can see this - https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3/+packages?field.name_filter=glib&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter= but havent a clue if it is correct or what to do
[14:42] <HelenB> MarKsaitis, yes.
[14:42] <enchilado> 285,000 MB?
[14:42] <auronandace> MarKsaitis: you have 285gb of ram?
[14:42] <HelenB> because you have unity/gnome installed.
[14:42] <enchilado> that's not possible
[14:42] <enchilado> no one has that much RAM :S
[14:42] <if124> MarKsaitis I currently use > 2gb, so yes it's normal
[14:42] <HelenB> I have 15gb somewhere.
[14:42] <mi3> record has been broken guys! 285GB RAM! quite near the canadian supercomputer
[14:42] <HelenB> but not in my desktop
[14:43] <mi3> lol
[14:43] <ezoe> what will be preserved when I upgrade Ubuntu?
[14:44] <auronandace> MarKsaitis: but seriously, 285mb of ram usage sounds about right
[14:44] <ezoe> I guess all files under /home will be untouched.
[14:44] <MonkeyDust> ezoe  depends on how you upgrade
[14:45] <tutysra> @escott - in the bios menu which is got at startup by pressing F1 there are options to change to allow non-EFI boot, the community documentation(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/X120e#Installation) recommends it and I do not know how to allow non-EFI boot, I had tried various combinations in my bios settings like - (Both, EFI, Legacy) but none worked. If setting up a bios-grub partition is an easy option then I can give it a try.
[14:46] <MonkeyDust> ezoe  if you fresh install, you'll have to be sure to have backed up the installed programmes
[14:47] <auronandace> MonkeyDust: i think you mean programs, programmes are something you watch
[14:47] <MarKsaitis> auronandace, does it? But thats impossible on a minimal sys?
[14:47] <escott> tutysra, if you have a gpt partition the space following the mbr is not guaranteed to be empty and so grub cannot embed its stage2 files in that space. a small partition with the grub_bios flag is required to tell grub where it can embed stage two when booting with an mbr on a gpt partition. see rodsbooks.com for lots of details
[14:47] <MarKsaitis> no GUi no nothing
[14:47] <ezoe> yes. I know. I mean, upgrade, I'm planning to upgrade by using Ubuntu's built-in upgrade feature. without using ISO.
[14:47] <ezoe> when 12.04 stable is released.
[14:47] <RobertLaptop> Question I am testing 12.04 and have a weird problem.  When attempting to create an openvpn connection there doesn't seem to be an OK or Save button the create the connection
[14:47] <The_Pugilist> MonkeyDust, sudo blkid only shows one drive

[14:48] <MarKsaitis> is there auronandace no it isnt. =) is there an app which can show me a breakedown of where all ram goes by applications or smth what makes sense?
[14:48] <tutysra> @escott - thx, will take a look
[14:49] <auronandace> MarKsaitis: top

[14:49] <intore___> hi, how can i do to set by default some programs and folders for next users will use an ubuntu machine? do i have to  customize /etc/skel/?
[14:49] <MarKsaitis> auronandace, well top doesnt show what programs are using all 280?
[14:49] <ezoe> from what I've read, I have to manually re-add PPA again when I upgrade ubuntu.
[14:50] <raven> aopen XCcube + 11.10 - how to find the right drivers for intel graphics
[14:50] <ezoe> Is it safe to upgrade Ubuntu without removing softwares from PPA?
[14:50] <Oscailt> Just wondering if I'm allowed to ask questions concerning the 12.04 BETA version of Ubuntu, here.
[14:50] <Chaosadnd> Bah, stupid Samba share won't share right.
[14:50] <auronandace> ezoe: ppas are version specific, it is better not to bother with ppas at all
[14:51] <auronandace> !12.04 | Oscailt
[14:51] <MonkeyDust> ezoe  PPAs tend not to be safe
[14:51] <escott> ezoe, not advisable. if a ppa is in version X but not version Y then things break easily, and sometimes the features of a ppa get pulled into mainline in the next version
[14:52] <MarKsaitis> how do I release upgrade to precise?
[14:52] <bazhang> MarKsaitis, whats the output of uname -r
[14:52] <auronandace> MarKsaitis: can't you wait till its stable?
[14:52] <MarKsaitis> root@server:~# uname -r
[14:52] <MarKsaitis> 3.0.0-12-server
[14:52] <MarKsaitis> auronandace, no I cant =)
[14:56] <ezoe> hmm, there is a bash script called ppa-purge which handle downgrading everything to the official repository from given PPA.
[14:57] <MonkeyDust> ezoe  i guess just deleting the ppa will do
[14:57] <intore___> hi, how can i do to set by default some programs and folders for next users will use an ubuntu machine? do i have to  customize /etc/skel/?
[14:57] <raven> aopen XCcube + 11.10 - how to find the right drivers for intel graphics

[14:58] <e0627783> hi , somebody know how to Extract the passwd.OLD ?
[15:00] <SubD> how do I install zentyal with out using the zentyal install cd?
[15:00] <e0627783> anyone? passwd.OLD extract? ;)
[15:00] <raven> auronandace obviously it has no real gpu support because the video performance is as bad as with my old eeepc and i did not test hd yet!
[15:02] <escott> intore___, it would depend on the programs
[15:02] <MonkeyDust> ezoe  delete the PPA and then sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:02] <intore___> escott: iceweasel, ooffice
[15:03] <raven> auronandace how to verify if gpu support is enabled?
[15:03] <ezoe> MonkeyDust: what if I installed a software that isn't exist in 11.10 repository, but exist in 12.04.
[15:04] <MonkeyDust> ezoe  dunno about 12.04
[15:04] <auronandace> raven: not sure sorry, i use nvidia
[15:04] <escott> intore___, why do you want iceweasal and ooffice? in any case i think what you want to do is modify things with alacarte, but its not clear exactly what you want to accomplish
[15:04] <ezoe> there are a lot of new softwares added to 12.04. well, I can remove them manually, But I wonder if there is a simple way to remove all software from a given PPA.
[15:05] <raven> Aopen XCcube + 11.10 how to verify if gpu support is enabled?
[15:05] <ezoe> without listing up all package name.
[15:05] <MonkeyDust> ezoe  maybe the channel #ubuntu+1 knows
[15:05] <escott> !ppa-purge | ezoe
[15:06] <ezoe> the definition of "back to default" is interesting.
[15:06] <opalepatrick> how do install a package from a precise repo? I use 11.10
[15:06] <auronandace> opalepatrick: you don't, unless you want to break stuff
[15:07] <ezoe> well, I should read ppa-purge script.
[15:07] <raven> Aopen XCcube + 11.10 how to verify if gpu support is enabled?
[15:07] <ezoe> MonkeyDust: #ubuntu+1? is that a channel name?
[15:07] <opalepatrick> wondered auronandace - I need gtk+2.0 2.24.10 or greater to install gimp2.8rc1
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> ezoe  yes, for all things 12.04, type /join #ubuntu+1
[15:08] <ezoe>  /join #ubuntu+1
[15:08] <ezoe> oops
[15:08] <intore___> escott: ok. am not very clear! i installed an ldap server on a ubuntu server. clients are ubuntu also. every user will login with his credentials and they'll be verificated on the ldap server. every user will have his home directory and i want iceweasel and ooffice also.
[15:09] <escott> !info alacarte | intore___
[15:09] <raven> Aopen XCcube + 11.10 how to verify if gpu support is enabled?
[15:10] <Yaaaaaa> I have a phone with a micro sd card in it, this phone is usb to my ubuntu box but no disk showes up in fdisk etc. Bus 002 Device 007: ID 1004:618e LG Electronics, Inc. Ally/Optimus One/Vortex (debug mode) shows up in lsusb how do I access the sd card on the phone ? or do I need to buy a usb card reader ?
[15:11] <raven> Aopen XCcube + 11.10 how to verify if gpu support is enabled?
[15:11] <intore___> escott: you think is it good for my network?
[15:11] <ezoe> hmm ppa-purge remove all packages from a given PPA, then reinstall it from official repository.
[15:11] <ezoe> so, if it doesn't exist in official repository, it simply not installed at all.
[15:11] <ezoe> I guess.
[15:13] <raven> Aopen XCcube + 11.10 how to verify if gpu support is enabled?
[15:13] <escott> intore___, this sentence "every user will have his home directory and i want iceweasel and ooffice also." doesn't make much sense to me. what does iceweasal/ooo have to do with ldap?
[15:14] <ezoe> hmm, bash script is really powerfull.
[15:15] <escott> Yaaaaaa, you probably need to switch the phone to usb mass storage mode
[15:15] <intore___> escott: ldap will keep default files from /etc/skel/
[15:16] <Yaaaaaa> escott: ok I'll look around I'm looking under "storage" but all I see is unmount sd card. format.
[15:16] <MarKsaitis> so, on ubuntu 12.04 beta, will I have an option to uprade to full when its out after 2 weeks?
[15:16] <escott> intore___, sure, but what does iceweasal/ooo have to do with /etc/skel
[15:17] <auronandace> !final | MarKsaitis
[15:18] <MarKsaitis> auronandace, thanx a million! =)
[15:18] <intore___> escott: i thought must put .iceweasel and .ooffice in skel to have these program availables for the users
[15:18] <intore___> escott: am i wrong?
[15:18] <escott> intore___, yes
[15:18] <ezoe> I guess I'll wait until it's really released.
[15:19] <ezoe> though, it's tempting to try it now.
[15:19] <econdudeawesome> Howdy! Got a question about file system behavior. I have a main partition mounted at /, and another partition (much much larger) mounted at /home/<user>/docs. Would this cause the "subpartition" to have the same remaining space as the partition mounted at /?
[15:19] <intore___> escott: i thought was a good idea to have the programs on the server only
[15:19] <econdudeawesome> I'm trying to figure out what is going on here, as I have 11.51 GB left (only) for BOTH partitions, and adding to the larger subpartition removes space from the main partition
[15:19] <SubD> Question. Can't I install zentyal trough terminal?
[15:20] <raven> Aopen XCcube + 11.10 how to verify if gpu support is enabled?
[15:20] <intore___> escott: which is the better way?
[15:20] <intore___> escott: have programs on the clients?
[15:20] <escott> intore___, in order to use a program (a) it must be installed (b) you want a listing in the gui (which is known as a desktop file in gnome/kde)
[15:20] <Yaaaaaa> escott I don't see an option anywhere -__- thanks for the tip though I'll keep looking
[15:20] <MonkeyDust> !zentyal| SubD
[15:21] <auronandace> econdudeawesome: what is the output of mount?
[15:22] <intore___> escott: what do you mean with "a listing"?
[15:22] <escott> intore___, ~/.ooffice does not contain any programs. it only contains the users local preferences (like what menu options should be shown, and where files should be saved, and what the most recent edited files were, etc)
[15:22] <econdudeawesome> auronandace: http://pastebin.com/5athXLmU
[15:22] <SubD> MonkeyDust so I cant install zentyal? only ebox? I know they have been joined, but I thought that zentyal was the new ebox
[15:23] <escott> intore___, a desktop file contains the name of the program (with multiple translations), the path to the binary, and what icon should be used in the gui/launcher when the user searches for the application
[15:23] <econdudeawesome> auronandace: looking at sda1 and sda3
[15:23] <intore___> escott: so i've to install ooffice and iceweasel directly on the clients?
[15:23] <auronandace> econdudeawesome: what is the size of sda1 and sda3
[15:24] <MonkeyDust> SubD  it is
[15:24] <econdudeawesome> roughly 50 GB and 100GB, respectively
[15:24] <escott> intore___, it depends on what you want to do. you could install directly to the clients, or you could serve the installed location over NFS to each of the clients
[15:25] <mysticalone> Is there a channel for 12.04 ?
[15:25] <MonkeyDust> mysticalone  #ubuntu+1
[15:25] <mysticalone> much obliged
[15:25] <auronandace> econdudeawesome: adding stuff to sda3 should only reduce the free space left of sda3, it shouldn't affect the size of sda1
[15:26] <soa2ii> I tried the installation of 12.04 beta2 (since it's big on ubuntu.com I thought it won't be that bad) … there kernel module problems in combination with the network install (not that bad, you can work around that) but in the end the grun installation simply fails and I have no idea why. Any suggestions?
[15:26] <SubD> MonkeyDust allright, but i've been reading up on some manuals online regarding installation and setups, still most of the setups are made for zentyal and are different then from ebox.
[15:26] <econdudeawesome> auronandace: would you recommend a different mount point than somewhere in /home?
[15:26] <raven> Aopen XCcube + 11.10 how to verify if gpu support is enabled?
[15:27] <auronandace> econdudeawesome: it doesn't matter where the mountpoint is really, i tend to put stuff under /mnt/
[15:27] <GirlyGirl_> raven: If unity 3d works it is working
[15:27] <DJdurr> Hello, Hello. I need some help. When i install Ubuntu, i restart, select Ubuntu on startup, and nothing happens.. only blackscreen..
[15:27] <econdudeawesome> auronandace: I did that previously, but ran into a permissions issue. Is there a good tutorial you know of that I could learn better about permissions, so I could get them right?
[15:27] <GirlyGirl_> DJdurr: What graphic card do you have?
[15:28] <DJdurr> Uhm..
[15:28] <DJdurr> I can try to find out
[15:28] <intore___> escott: i don't understand about your second solution. you mean to installed the programs on the server, in a nfs and the tell to client the path to find them?
[15:28] <econdudeawesome> auronandace: (its a personal computer, I have full admin access)
[15:28] <mi3> the menu tab on my xchat window got removed accidentally, how can I get them back? any suggestions?
[15:28] <auronandace> !permissions | econdudeawesome
[15:28] <raven> GirlyGirl_ more important verification please - unity is no indicator
[15:28] <DJdurr> On my PC i had before, i had a shitty graphic card, on this it is a good, but.. on the old PC it worked
[15:29] <cyf> msg NickServ indentify litovcas
[15:29] <econdudeawesome> auronandace: much thanks. I may be back, but I'm comfortable in fstab so hopefully got it from here. Thanks again!
[15:29] <econdudeawesome> whoooooo
[15:29] <econdudeawesome> cyf: might want to change that password now
[15:29] <escott> intore___, yes. whether or not that is worth doing is another question. if you are managing a package manually it might be easier to just setup one install on a server, and export that as a read-only nfs mount in /opt
[15:29] <Yaaaaaa> escott: thanks for the tip! it wasn't seeming to work through my front usb ports so I switched to back and it asked me if I wanted to enable storage. got it all setup in fstab.
[15:30] <GirlyGirl_> cyf: first msg and indentify ... two errors
[15:30] <GirlyGirl_> hopefully the password has a typo too
[15:32] <DJdurr> Hmm.. I have a AMD A-4 with Radeon processor(or somthing..).
[15:32] <intore___> escott: am sorry for my ignorance. what are the difference to export an installation and a read-only fs?
[15:35] <escott> intore___, i don't know how i can answer that. all you need to be able run a program is to be able to read the binary, and for all the required libraries to be available. it doesn't matter where those files are so long as they can be read
[15:36] <Geforce88> is there a channel for grub ?
[15:36] <ikonia> yes #grub
[15:37] <Geforce88> thx
[15:39] <intore___> escott: but you told me about two possibility, to export or read-only fs
[15:40] <escott> intore___, and you misread them. (a) is install locally (b) is export a network install
[15:41] <intore___> escott: ah, sorry. how to export a network install?
[15:43] <escott> intore___, you would setup the install on the server and then mount the folders via nfs to some location like /opt. then you probably want to create desktop files that point to your binaries in /opt and put those on each client
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> intore___  how skilled are you?
[15:45] <intore___> MonkeyDust: not to much, this is the first time am doing this thing
[15:46] <BryanRuiz> wow
[15:47] <remoteCTRL> can you please tell me how to set the password for the defailt cyadm user?
[15:47] <KittyTeeth> You still here MonkeyDust?
[15:47] <BryanRuiz> hey, i want to move my hard drive to a new computer? is this a simple  thing to do?
[15:47] <MonkeyDust> KittyTeeth
[15:48] <intore___> escott: with samba is it possible also i think
[15:48] <KittyTeeth> ok, you said b4 to change MM to M.
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> !clone| BryanRuiz
[15:48] <t432> Houston we have a problem!
[15:49] <BryanRuiz> MonkeyDust: Id rather just move the hard drive
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> KittyTeeth  no, to press m when you see MM
[15:49] <KittyTeeth> I have Master, PCM, and Front MI which have MM
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> MM stands for Mute
[15:49] <BryanRuiz> MonkeyDust: but not sure if thats dangerous or not
[15:49] <t432> command "javac" returns "bash: /usr/bin/javac: No such file or directory"
[15:49] <KittyTeeth> oh
[15:50] <KittyTeeth> When I put M inplace of MM   00 comes up
[15:50] <intore___> escott: do you think is better have the programs on every client or on the server?
[15:50] <escott> intore___, i don't want to sound too critical, but you are clearly in a bit over your head. I'm sure you could eventually figure things out and might learn a fair bit in the long term, but its also not clear why you want to do what you are proposing. Why not just use libreoffice which is included in apt?
[15:50] <MonkeyDust> KittyTeeth  arrow keys to increase the level
[15:51] <KittyTeeth> which level would you recommend?
[15:51] <naryfa1> hi
[15:51] <MonkeyDust> KittyTeeth  it's your pc, your ears, cannot decide for you
[15:51] <naryfa1> :
[15:52] <intore___> escott: what is not clear?
[15:52] <escott> intore___, what is better depends on a lot of factors. (a) do the clients have the hard disk space? (b) how do you want to manage the software installation (apt vs manual)? (c) are you running consistent versions of the OSes on all desktops? etc...
[15:52] <naryfa1> Does anybody know what's the advantage of using something like moblock or ipblock? Does this stuff really help??
[15:53] <KittyTeeth> ok
[15:53] <locodir> i want to clear all text present in log file ...what should i do
[15:53] <locodir> how to clear all contents of log files
[15:53] <escott> intore___, since you can install libreoffice on all machines via apt, i would do that unless you have a reason not to do so
[15:54] <KittyTeeth> Working! Thanks for the lesson MonkeyDust.
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> !yay| KittyTeeth
[15:54] <KittyTeeth> What would have caused all the controls to MM, mute?
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> KittyTeeth  not going back to windows, now?
[15:55] <naryfa1> nobody?
[15:55] <KittyTeeth> thanks ubottu.
[15:55] <intore___> escott: am sorry but i didn't know LibreOffice and i don't know the advantages
[15:55] <KittyTeeth> hahaha
[15:55] <KittyTeeth> no
[15:55] <KittyTeeth> haha
[15:55] <FloodBot1> KittyTeeth: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:56] <dlentz> locodir, http://lifehacker.com/270790/empty-a-text-file-from-the-command-line
[15:56] <intore___> escott: so i thought only about openoffice
[15:56] <t432> Houston any response? over!
[15:56] <KittyTeeth> What would have caused my sound controls to revert to Mute?
[15:56] <rasheed> im new here where can i find help to get my numark djio to work on ubuntu
[15:56] <econdudeawesome> auronandace: The issue was I mounted under home. I moved it to /mnt and the size issue has been taken care of. Not sure if thats a bug with the size analysis or the partitioning itself. Regardless, thanks and happy trails!
[15:59] <escott> intore___, so i guess i repeat my very first question again:  why do you want iceweasel and ooffice? --- since you don't seem to have a reason for openoffice, i'll assume the same is true of iceweasel and tell you to use firefox
[16:00] <intore___> escott: i don't have any preferences, i trust you!
[16:01] <intore___> escott: my question: why do you prefer firefox and libreoffice?
[16:02] <enthdegree> Hello, all
[16:02] <morri> hi
[16:02] <enthdegree> I just resized my LV and for some reason it got disabled. When I run `lvchange -ay` to reenable it, the command returns 'device mapper: resume ioctl failed: Invalid argument'
[16:03] <fishcooker> i've done stupid things already

[16:05] <xananax> Hello, I am adding PPAs, but I am on 12 beta and so I hit 404 for all of them. My question is: if I manually download a package for 11.10, say, and it works, when the corresponding ppa repo for 12 will be available, will my package upgrade?
[16:05] <makara> hi. I'm getting choppy sound from VirtualBox and apparently the solution is to change to OSS audio. I have installed but from gstreamer-properties it says it 'could not open an audio device'. Anything?
[16:09] <dlentz> xananax, yes, unless there's unusual version numbering
[16:10] <dlentz> makara, you installed oss where, within the vm?
[16:10] <xananax> dlentz, thanks
[16:10] <makara> dlentz: no, oss4 from synaptic
[16:11] <makara> i'm following this: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/myst_series/sound_glitches_virtualbox_solved
[16:11] <makara> and this: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-switch-to-alsa-or-oss-instead-of.html
[16:12] <dlentz> that says "sound driver of the virtual machine"
[16:14] <fishcooker> how to add new user here?
[16:14] <fishcooker> i can do that on system setting
[16:15] <makara> dlentz: can't be. OSS for WinXP?
[16:15] <fishcooker> i can't i mean
[16:16] <dlentz> makara, it means change this to OSS (but it will only work on lucid):  http://virtuatopia.com/index.php/Configuring_VirtualBox_Virtual_Machine_Settings#Audio_Settings
[16:18] <escott> fishcooker, add a new user to ubuntu?
[16:18] <fishcooker> escott:
[16:18] <fishcooker> how to?
[16:19] <escott> fishcooker, on my 11.10 install -- go to the user accounts application click the unlock button then click the + button to add a new user
[16:20] <diki> it kind of sucks how ubuntu does not aim for compatability like windows
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> diki  compatibility with what?
[16:20] <diki> for instance, I tried to increase swap file on 11.04 by following 8.X instructions
[16:20] <diki> it destroyed the OS
[16:21] <diki> So I lost semi-important data
[16:22] <beandog> bummer
[16:22] <diki> whereas on windows, the settings to increase swap file haven't changed since Win2000
[16:22] <MonkeyDust> !ot| diki
[16:23] <OerHeks> diki so is it the failure of ubuntu, the instructions or just because you didn't make any backup ?
[16:23] <diki> OerHeks:I am not blaiming ubuntu
[16:23] <diki> I am merely stating that compatability should remain
[16:23] <xangua> diki: if you have troubles knowing how to set partitons, you can allways leave the installer does everything for you wihout worrying
[16:23] <fishcooker> escott im on 12.04 but i can't add the new user even i unlock it
[16:24] <GirlyGirl> diki: "compatability" with what?
[16:24] <escott> !precise | fishcooker
[16:24] <diki> xangua:It was a post-install step
[16:24] <diki> GirlyGirl:with settings, interface
[16:24] <diki> etc
[16:24] <xangua> diki: it is not, unless you did something weird :/
[16:24] <diki> xangua:what isn't?
[16:25] <xangua> (11:24:15) diki: xangua:It was a post-install step
[16:25] <diki> xangua:I meant that I tweaked the OS post-install
[16:25] <diki> as in, after installation
[16:25] <GirlyGirl> diki: Do you have a support question?
[16:26] <whoever> hi all, need help rhythmbox was working yesterday,  and this morning i blindly (litrily and figerativly) updated and now rhythmobox freezed after launch wile searching dir, can somone assist in a rollback/fix
[16:26] <GirlyGirl> diki: Like without mentioning what you did to "destrot the OS" we can't help you. Its probably a case of garbage in garbage out if you ask me ... nothing about the "compat"a"bility" as you say
[16:27] <dlentz> whoever, did you try purging and reinstalling it? it may be a bad configuration file
[16:27] <GirlyGirl> *"destroy the OS"
[16:27] <whoever> dlentz: no , won't -P also unistall and clean
[16:27] <diki> GirlyGirl:I did mention what I did
[16:28] <diki> I tried to increase Oneiric's swap file, by following a karmic koala guide
[16:28] <GirlyGirl> diki: Very vague ... mention the commands you ran and changes you made.
[16:28] <whoever> diki: what what did you do i came in after your OP
[16:29] <auronandace> diki: by default there is no swap file, it usually is a swap partition
[16:29] <GirlyGirl> diki can you link this guide?
[16:29] <auronandace> diki: also following instructions for a release from 2008 for a 2011 distro isn't always that smart
[16:29] <dlentz> whoever, dpkg -P ?
[16:30] <auronandace> diki: 11.04 is natty, 11.10 is oneiric
[16:30] <beandog> how do you guys even remember which version is which name?  drives me crazy.
[16:30] <GirlyGirl> diki: Also you can't destroy the OS with such a change
[16:31] <ox1de> hi; i still need help fixing my laptop
[16:31] <fidel> beandog: keep it simple and remember the number-logic - which is prettystraigt forward
[16:31] <dlentz> beandog, if you hadn't noticed, they're in alphabetical order..
[16:31] <escott> beandog, they are alphabetical for one
[16:31] <GriGi> Hi, I got little question. What music player do you use? Im using Rhythmbox and I like it, but I want to have cover flow. I was trying to install some plugin to rhythmbox but it doesn't work (as I read on the net, many people can't install it). What is good music player for Ubuntu, which have cover art, or at least let me somehow browse through my music with covers? Rhythmbox got only ugly list of albums :(
[16:31] <auronandace> beandog: i prefer the numbers to the names, you get used to it after a while, especially when you know the major changes
[16:31] <beandog> I guess I'm too new to notice. :T
[16:32] <GirlyGirl> GriGi: I use Amarok and Clementine ... but I think you might like tomahawk
[16:32] <despe70> I've enabled postgresql to log to syslog, with "syslog_facility = 'local0'". I've changed my /etc/syslog.conf so it contains "local0.*        -/var/log/pgsql". I've restarted syslog with "/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart" However, when postgresql is reloaded, the messages are appended to /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog ...
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> ox1de  if you asked earlier, repeat the question, pls
[16:32] <despe70> how can I log them to the file I've foreseen for it ? what am I missing?
[16:32] <fidel> GriGi: using clementine here - kinda amarok fork- displays cover of current song & has a seperate cover-window. but most likely not what you are looking for
[16:32] <MeXTuX> I need to load a module during startup. How can I do it??? The module names is uvcvideo Thanx in advance
[16:32] <GirlyGirl> GriGi: I still prefer wmp and iTunes interface style though to the ones I use
[16:33] <GriGi> GirlyGirl, I was trying Amarok, but I read that it needs KDE libraries and it's true that it's laggy on Ubuntu (on my netbook) But I will try Clementine and tomahawk, thanks :).
[16:33] <beandog> MeXTuX: add it to /etc/modules
[16:33] <GriGi> GirlyGirl, Yea, that's what I'm talking about, I like iTunes style too :).
[16:33] <auronandace> GriGi: there is also exaile (gtk based)
[16:33] <GirlyGirl> GriGi: Clementine and Tomahawk use qt (kde ) too
[16:33] <ox1de> on boot i get the display: "no init found. try passing init= bootarg. - busybox v1.13.3 (ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built in shell (ash) - enter 'help' for listo f built in commands. - (initramfs) [  3.056257] ieee1394: host added: IDbus[0-00:1023} guid[000ae4aaaa27c398]"
[16:33] <ox1de> what do i do?
[16:33] <marvindoppelt> how can one change the way apt connects through the internet? As in with or without proxy for example.
[16:34] <GirlyGirl> GriGi: But qt is already in Ubuntu as unity 2d needs it
[16:34] <GriGi> auronandace, I was just trying exaile but plugin with coverflow also don't work
[16:34] <whoever> dlentz: just did a purg and reinstall and it still freezes when searching a dir
[16:34] <GriGi> fidel, I'm gonna try Clementine anyway, thanks :).
[16:34] <zykotick9> marvindoppelt: /etc/apt/apt.conf is probably the file you'll need to change
[16:35] <dlentz> whoever, if you start rb from terminal, does it output any error?
[16:35] <auronandace> ox1de: what did you do?
[16:35] <ox1de> i dont know why its malfuncitoning
[16:35] <fidel> GriGi: the logic behind clementine is somehow different to itunes - but you are looking more for the itunesgui aspects i guess - which most linux players wont match either ;)
[16:35] <GriGi> GirlyGirl, so it's nice, won't be lagging on my netbook. Now I remember, I saw once icon for this player - faenza pack got so nice icon for this, juicy orange :).
[16:35] <dlentz> iirc, itunes through wine is possible
[16:36] <GriGi> fidel - I don't need exactly iTunes, just cover flow or browsing albums with covers will satisfy me.
[16:36] <mysticalone> Where can I find help on patching broadcom drivers in the debian kernel package for 3.3
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> !bcm| mysticalone bcm stands for broadcom
[16:36] <fidel> GriGi: clementine wont provide that - at least not in an elegant way - as you would need to use the cover-manager window - but hf testing it anyways ;)
[16:37] <GirlyGirl> GriGi: Actually I use KDE on my netbook and its a lot more responsive than Ubuntu with gnome 3 / unity
[16:37] <GirlyGirl> GriGi: Tomahawk should suit you best ... did you try banshee?
[16:38] <marvindoppelt> zykotick9, apt.conf is empty.  See, all was well until I used proxy somewhere and applied the proxy settings system wide, later I removed the system-wide proxy settings and now apt can't connect anymore whereby it still shows that it's trying connecting through the proxy.
[16:38] <Bndrr> MonkeyDust, what are u looking for ? bcm ?¿
[16:38] <GirlyGirl> GriGi: http://banshee.fm/  http://www.tomahawk-player.org/
[16:38] <whoever> dlentz: WTF , it will work if i lauch from terminal, but from dasher it will freeze at the point where it searches for files
[16:38] <GriGi> GirlyGirl, I had banshee for a while but I think I should install it again and test it with Clementine and Tomahawk
[16:38] <dlentz> marvindoppelt, look in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d directory
[16:39] <MonkeyDust> Bndrr  you're addressing the wrong person, it's mysticalone
[16:39] <auronandace> !pm | ox1de
[16:39] <jack_^> Is there a command to install a deb file and resolve all dependencies within the command line?
[16:39] <MonkeyDust> jack_^  try dpkg
[16:39] <marvindoppelt> dlentz, it's also not there.
[16:39] <zykotick9> marvindoppelt: i manually add a proxy to my apt.conf (it's actually for an apt-cacher-ng proxy), sorry i don't know how proxys are actually handled system wide (never used one).  Good luck.
[16:39] <Bndrr> ok, I'm a bit bored. lol
[16:39] <jack_^> MonkeyDust: Does dpkg install dependencies? i was having issues
[16:40] <dlentz> marvindoppelt, but there are lots of files there, correct?
[16:40] <MonkeyDust> jack_^  it's dpkg -i (for install), a normal installation, like apt-get
[16:40] <dlentz> those are the configuration files
[16:40] <dlentz> whoever, i have no idea about unity stuff
[16:40] <marvindoppelt> dlentz, yep but apt.conf
[16:40] <zykotick9> jack_^: dpkg doesn't handle dependencies.  "sudo apt-get -f install" after dpkg to try and install any dependencies
[16:41] <jack_^> zykotick9++ thanks
[16:41] <trism> jack_^: you can also install gdebi which will do it all in one step
[16:41] <dlentz> apt.conf has been split into different files inside apt.conf.d/
[16:41] <jack_^> so, '# dpkg -i <file>; apt-get -f install; dpkg -i <file>; ?
[16:41] <marvindoppelt> dlentz, ok, how do I remove proxy settings on it.
[16:41] <whoever> dlentz: it must be something within rb code, sine one way it will freeze while searching and the other way it will work
[16:42] <MonkeyDust> jack_^  try dpkg -i [package.deb]
[16:42] <zykotick9> jack_^: doing them one-by-one is probably safest (certainly isn't fastest, but will help in troubleshooting if there are issues)
[16:42] <jack_^> MonkeyDust: it fails.
[16:42] <jack_^> zykotick9: i only have 1 deb file.
[16:43] <zykotick9> jack_^: are the dependcies the other debs you have?  or are they in the repos?
[16:43] <jack_^> zykotick9: they're in the repos
[16:43] <zykotick9> jack_^: what are you installing?
[16:43] <jack_^> libmysqlclient16
[16:44] <zykotick9> !info libmysqlclient16
[16:44] <jack_^> not available in 12.04
[16:44] <zykotick9> jack_^: so what's wrong with "sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient16"?  why are you using debs?
[16:44] <jack_^> zykotick9: not available in 12.04
[16:44] <zykotick9> jack_^: re-ask your question/issue in #ubuntu+1
[16:45] <jack_^> but my question isn't specific to 12.04.
[16:45] <zykotick9> jack_^: doesn't matter.  good luck.
[16:45] <bazhang> jack_^, sure it is
[16:45] <jack_^> bazhang: my question is, is there a way to resolve dependencies when installing a deb from the command line
[16:45] <fidel> jack_^: that question is answered already with dpkg & apt-get for deps or am i wrong? ;)
[16:45] <bazhang> jack_^, you have an issue with 12.04  #ubuntu+1 for that please
[16:46] <jack_^> fidel: thats what i thought :)
[16:46] <enthdegree> I just resized my LV and for some reason it got disabled. When I run `lvchange -ay` to reenable it, the command returns 'device mapper: resume ioctl failed: Invalid argument'
[16:46] <jack_^> bazhang: i can reproduce the behavior in 11.10
[16:46] <fidel> the paket-specific thing again is 12.04 specific ;)
[16:46] <enthdegree> does anyone have experience with this?
[16:46] <jack_^> enthdegree: what type of LV is it? just a linear volume?
[16:46] <dlentz> marvindoppelt, i guess you will find that configuration in /etc/apt/apt-file.conf
[16:47] <whoever> dlentz: for what its worth it was a comand issue some how %U was causing rb to freeze durring its search
[16:48] <enthdegree> jack_^, yes. it's not even split across multiple physical disks
[16:48] <jack_^> enthdegree: put these commands in pastebin and gimmie. # lvs -o +devices; dmsetup info -c; lvchange -ay /dev/VolGroupLogVol -vvv
[16:48] <dlentz> whoever, i'm sure how to go about debugging that without terminal output
[16:48] <jack_^> oops
[16:48] <dlentz> *not sure
[16:48] <jack_^> /dev/VolGruop/LogVol*
[16:49] <bluj> can anyone tell me how i can get (much) larger corners to drag to resize windows?
[16:49] <whoever> dlentz: ya that is i guess you can say the short answer
[16:49] <foolove> i need to do a reassigning of a stdin by user so my $var = <STDIN>; if ($var == 1) {$var == 5};
[16:50] <foolove> not sure on the {$var == 5} part basically based on the user input i need to reassign the variable
[16:50] <foolove> to the new value based on the condition before passing the variable to the rest of the code
[16:50] <MonkeyDust> foolove  the channel #bash may be more useful for you
[16:51] <foolove> oh sorry wrong channel
[16:51] <beandog> foolove: its var=5
[16:51] <beandog> foolove: not $var
[16:51] <foolove> this is perl beandog
[16:52] <Bender_> hello, I have downloaded a new version of a software (rawtherapee). It runs only if I have installed the older version from the software center. Is it possible to keep in launcher the new version? I can't do that, it always make start the old version. The new version is in a folder in the home directory. Useing Ubuntu 12.04
[16:52] <Bender_> ...and unity :)
[16:52] <foolove> beandog you could still be right tho
[16:52] <GirlyGirl> !precise | Bender_
[16:53] <Bender_> GirlyGirl, ok thanx
[16:55] <marvindoppelt> dlentz, there's no such a file either. BTW, am using 10.04

[17:06] <angs> I have a problem with ubuntu. when I power up my pc, I get a black screen and it says: mounting /dev/ on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory. target filesyste doesn't have sbin/init ; try passing init=bootarg ; Busybox v1.13.3 (ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash)
[17:06] <angs> what should I do?
[17:06] <bazhang> dlentz, yep thanks
[17:06] <HaCkThEwAy> okay ..... Sorry To disturb u ... genius ..
[17:07] <escott> angs, are you ox1de?
[17:07] <angs> I dont know what is ox1de.
[17:07] <escott> angs, another person in the channel earlier with a similar problem during init
[17:08] <angs> no, I am not
[17:08] <angs> the pc waits me to type a command on "initramfs)"
[17:08] <angs> I dont know what should I type
[17:08] <angs> do I need to format the pc?
[17:08] <escott> angs, i would boot a livecd and run fsck on the root fs, and perhaps reinstall the kernel/rerun update-initramfs from a chroot
[17:09] <BryanRuiz> !clone
[17:09] <angs> what could be the reason of init problem?
[17:09] <angs> I havent used ubuntu much, maybe 10 times or so.
[17:10] <jasmuth> how can i set my locale to en_US? it got changed to chinese somehow
[17:10] <GriGi> Thanks for help GirlyGirl and fidel, I think I'll stay with Clementine and/or Banshee, they got "cover browsers", I like it, finally I can browse my collection and see that covers that I was adding with Puddletag :).
[17:11] <jasmuth> i tried "update-locale LANG=en_US", but it tells me about some invalid locale settings
[17:11] <escott> jasmuth, try en_US.UTF-8
[17:12] <martinphone> is there any command to safely remove a hdd? the icon doesnt work
[17:13] <L3mce> martinphone: try: umount /dev/xxx
[17:14] <escott> martinphone, udisks --unmount or sudo umount
[17:14] <Chaosadnd> Longwinded question. Have a ubuntu 10.04 server running at my buisness. Machines that connect to it are windows 7 home, and windows xp professional. I can make and map usershares and public shares fine, but when trying to make an admin share based on group, i cant connect from windows 7 home. Any ideas?
[17:14] <L3mce> udisks? I am unfamiliar with that...
[17:15] <escott> L3mce, part of fdo. its how naut manages mountpoints. setuid utilities
[17:15] <martinphone> escott, sudo udisks /dev/sdb1 ?
[17:15] <escott> martinphone, you dont need sudo with udisks
[17:15] <martinphone> umount didnt work, it says is already unmounted
[17:16] <g20> oi
[17:16] <martinphone> escott, udisks /dev/sdb1 ?
[17:16] <L3mce> if it says it is unmounted...
[17:16] <escott> martinphone, udisks --unmount /mountpoint
[17:16] <L3mce> what does: mount   produce?
[17:16] <L3mce> do you see it in the list?
[17:16] <amw> anyone here?
[17:17] <L3mce> or df -T
[17:17] <martinphone> mount produces http://paste.ubuntu.com/926742/
[17:17] <L3mce> then it isn't mounted
[17:18] <amw> i need some advice on install ubuntu
[17:18] <L3mce> if your example of /dev/sdb1 was accurate
[17:18] <martinphone> L3mce, but file manager still lists it, and if I click on the HDD I can see the files
[17:18] <L3mce> if you click on it, you will remount it
[17:19] <amw> anyone availible to help me with install of ubuntu
[17:19] <escott> amw, ask your question
[17:19] <L3mce> martinphone: sudo umount -lf /dev/sdb1
[17:19] <martinphone> ok, now it appears as unmounted in file manager, but the eject option does not work, because the HDD keeps rotating
[17:19] <sgithens> Does anyone know offhand what the gsetting is for Ubuntu2d to increase the number of workspaces?  The setting used for compiz doesn't take effect.
[17:20] <amw> i want to install ubuntu and dual boot with windows 7 i have two hard drives 1 i have windows 7 the other is empty i want ubuntu on there but i dont want to mess up my windows boot manager in the process?
[17:21] <trism> sgithens: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66701/how-configure-workspaces-on-unity-2d
[17:21] <Kanerix> so unplug your windows drive and install ubuntu to the other drive
[17:21] <Kanerix> You can do it through software, but that takes more explaining
[17:21] <escott> amw, since you have two disks you could install ubuntu to sdb and set the bios to boot sdb over sda, then grub will chainload windows on sda
[17:21] <martinphone> sudo umount -lf /dev/sdb1 does nothing: umount: /dev/sdb1: not mounted, disk keeps rotating
[17:21] <escott> amw, but generally you use grub over the windows bootloader
[17:21] <GriGi> fidel, sry for problems, I got another question. Maybe you know why some covers aren't fetched into Clementine, while Rhythmbox or Banshee show them? They're in tags of that files, I think they're mostly .flacs maybe that's the problem?
[17:21] <sgithens> trism: Thanks much!!
[17:21] <amw> ok escott how do i change the sdb to sba
[17:21] <Kanerix> martinphone, You can't unmount something that isn't mounted
[17:22]  * L3mce just discovered udisks and --poll-for-media
[17:22] <escott> amw, i dont know it would be in your bios
[17:22] <amw> cause i tried last night to install but it said no root go back and fix
[17:22] <amw> if i un plug windows hard drive and install ubuntu then plug windows drive back in would it mess up with the drive letter ?
[17:23] <escott> amw, it is best not to move the disks around during the install
[17:23] <amw> ok
[17:28] <adrien2> What does it mean when a linux box has been "rooted"
[17:29] <adrien2> I saw it mentioned around, though I can't find an explaination.
[17:29] <auronandace> adrien2: somebody has gained root access
[17:29] <dackyshawn> adrien2: someone has root
[17:29] <adrien2> okay that's what i thought
[17:29] <dackyshawn> errr what auronandace said
[17:29] <adrien2> Though as i understand ubuntu has the password locked by default
[17:29] <adrien2> would is be possible for someone to attain root even so?
[17:30] <dackyshawn> adrien2: it's not "locked" it's just not set
[17:30] <escott> adrien2, its usually in reference to a device like a phone where the manufacturer doesnt want you to have root not a commodity os
[17:30] <adrien2> o that's really weird
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> adrien2: it does but it  can be activated, its just advised not to
[17:31] <dackyshawn> isnt rooting a phone more like Jailbreaking?
[17:31] <auronandace> adrien2: regular users shuoldn't need access to root, thats what sudo is for
[17:31] <adrien2> yes i know
[17:31] <adrien2> i have no need for root access
[17:31] <dackyshawn> i still dont understand why they advise you not to activate root... there are plenty of reasons to have root activated
[17:32] <adrien2> it's just ubuntu is doing some strange things and i just wanted to rule that out so i was curious
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> dackyshawn: its the same difference afaik
[17:32] <escott> dackyshawn, there is no need for root thats what sudo is, and it opens you to attacks on the root password
[17:32] <dackyshawn> ActionParsnip: u cant run Openfire as a sudo user i come to find
[17:32] <dackyshawn> well that's not true actually... u can just not on a lower port number
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> dackyshawn: why would you need root activated?
[17:33] <adrien2> ah okay, though my question is can someone remotely get root priveleges?
[17:33] <dackyshawn> if you want to run OpenFire on a server on a lower port number (like let's say 443) it requires it to be ran as the root user
[17:33] <dackyshawn> adrien2: if they access to another sudo account and set the passwd then yes
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> dackyshawn: if you run:   sudo -i  you can run things as root without activating the account
[17:34] <dackyshawn> but it wont run at login ActionParsnip
[17:34] <adrien2> ah okay, that really doesnt answer my question, but thanks dackyshawn
[17:34] <dackyshawn> i already found that out
[17:34] <dackyshawn> how doesnt that answer your question
[17:34] <dackyshawn> ?
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> dackyshawn: then add it to rc.local and it will run as root
[17:35] <dackyshawn> ActionParsnip: never tried that... perhaps i should ... i know openfire suggests setting the root passwd
[17:36] <dackyshawn> i generally always set the root password out of habit but i dont allow remote access with root
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> Its just not needed
