[13:24] <Chocpanda`> rocky: Its possible. Unfortunatly I haven't got much experience with unity so I kinda need someone else to jump in here
[13:24] <srhb> Ririshi: Sounds like you screwed up your Grub configuration. What did you change? You were not supposed to make any alterations.
[13:25] <rocky> ChocPanda, no problems thanks for discussing
[13:25] <Chocpanda`> No prob. make sure you try the reboot though
[13:25] <srhb> Ririshi: Anyway, you can either use the grub prompt to boot correctly or get a liveCD.
[13:25] <rocky> Chocpanda`, noted
[13:26] <rudy__> join #emase
[13:26] <wessly> Chocpanda`: i allowed, updated and still nothing in add. drivers.
[13:26] <Ririshi> srhb: I only did update-grub after doing this: sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys sudo chroot /mnt update-grub
[13:27] <Industrial> I installed unity-2d but I can't select anything in the login manager. I just get regulare unity.
[13:27] <Ririshi> srhb: My grub rescue prompt tells me that everything i put in it is an unknown command
[13:28] <Chocpanda`> wessly: A quick search has found me this, http://askubuntu.com/questions/104527/how-do-i-install-the-latest-nvidia-drivers-via-the-additional-drivers-tool
[13:29] <Industrial> Where in the login screen can I select Unity2D once installed?
[13:29] <Industrial> (12.10)
[13:30] <iceblue> any somebody here?
[13:30] <raven> release upgrade: need to download 5.5 gb - any way to create a wget list of the files to download it on another machine?
[13:30] <Industrial> iceblue: only otherbodies here.
[13:30] <Industrial> SNAP
[13:30] <iceblue> hahhaha
[13:33] <Industrial> looks like unity2d got removed
[13:33] <Industrial> what if I simply don't want fancy compositing? What if my vm is slow even though I installed the guiest additions?
[13:34] <Industrial> er, guest additions.
[13:34] <JohnWHSmith> Anybody knows if Rhythmbox 2.98 includes iOS support (libimobiledevice perhaps?) ?
[13:35] <JohnWHSmith> iOS6 I mean.
[13:35] <Industrial> I'm forced to switch distro again :(
[13:35] <cfhowlett> johntash: probably not io6 yet
[13:36] <JohnWHSmith> I heard the libimobiledevice now supported iOS6 sync, however I'm not sure if it has been implemented in music library management programs..
[13:38] <Ririshi> srhb: how can I make grub work again?
[13:38] <srhb> Ririshi: I suggest you boot the liveCD
[13:39] <Ririshi> And then srhb?
[13:40] <srhb> Ririshi: Afraid I am not an expert there. You'll need to reopen Grub and reinstall to MBT with the correct options. I suggest you pose that question to the entire channel.
[13:40] <srhb> Ririshi: Something like mounting your root partition, chrooting and grub-install'ing

[13:58] <subhojit777> How can I create a directory bookmark in Ubuntu 12.10. I was previously using Lubuntu 12.04 and there just by dragging the directory to the left sidebar creates bookmark. In Ubuntu 12.10 it doesnt work like that
[14:00] <MonkeyDust> subhojit777  in  nautilus, go to the folder you want, then, on top, click Bookmarks > add bookmark
[14:00] <subhojit777> MonkeyDust, nope still not working. I tried that too
[14:02] <MonkeyDust> subhojit777  i'm not sure there's another way to do it
[14:02] <MonkeyDust> try ctrl D
[14:02] <subhojit777> :) its just the shortcut
[14:02] <subhojit777> MonkeyDust, is that an issue with nautilus?
[14:03] <subhojit777> nautilus 3.6.1 i think
[14:04] <Ririshi> SRHB THANK YOU :D
[14:04] <Ririshi> and of cource IdleOne, for providing the link to boot-repair!
[14:05] <IdleOne> glad to be of service
[14:05] <Ririshi> And that's why I love IRC.
[14:05] <Ririshi> I got helped so much alteady (;
[14:06] <Ririshi> Already*
[14:06] <MonkeyDust> subhojit777  ctrl D is the normal, fastest and easiest way to add a bookmark, i don't know of any issues with nautilus
[14:11] <aller> how to revert any changes to login screen & other related parts? I.e. reinstall their packages?
[14:11] <Aww>
[14:16] <rrajbe> Hi, How can i create a virtual UDF File to share files between host and client in Virtualbox?
[14:21] <Kireji> just completed a dist0upgrade from 3.2.0-34-generic to 3.2.0-35-generic - and it requires a reboot to upgrade the kernel.  where can I read the changes and decide if I ned to do these reboots?
[14:21] <srhb> Kireji: The kernel changelog.
[14:22] <Kireji> srhb: :)  is that installed with the package?  how can I find it?
[14:23] <Kireji> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/linux-image-3.2.0-35-generic/3.2.0-35.55 appears to be the relevant page, but no changelog
[14:23] <srhb> Kireji: Should be in /usr/share/doc/packagename/changelog
[14:23] <srhb> Kireji: Or something like that. Browse your way to it. :)
[14:24] <Kireji> ahhh it appears teh changelog is in the source packagehttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/3.2.0-35.55
[14:24] <Kireji> found it
[14:26] <Kireji> ok so both of these 3.2.0-35.55 and 3.2.0-35.54 are titled "urgency=low" in the changelog.  Why am I getting these as updates that require a dist-upgrade and a reboot?
[14:26] <Kireji> they are becoming *way* more frequent, and do not seem worth it
[14:26] <srhb> Kireji: Maybe you have some funky entries in your sources.list
[14:27] <Kireji> but when I use apt-get, I cannot determine which ones are "fix this or you'll be rooted" and which ones are "we fixed some race condition in ALSA"
[14:28] <srhb> Kireji: Like you did now, check the kernel changelog and decide for yourself. Why are you using dist-upgrade though?
[14:28] <Kireji> just this http://pastie.org/5568577
[14:29] <Kireji> because the kernel packages get held back
[14:29] <Kireji> they don't install otherwise
[14:29] <Kireji> srhb: exactly, finding the log, reading and checking.  the issue is now it happens every few weeks
[14:30] <Kireji> it's a waste of my time if the new kernel is not a serious hole to fix and it's definately affects our services to reboot 40 machines
[14:31] <MonkeyDust> Kireji  can you not choose to *not* upgrade? or refuse unneeded kernel upgrades?
[14:31] <srhb> Kireji: I don't understand your complaint. Do you mean to say that you want the package system to decide whether or not a given kernel version is useful for you?
[14:32] <Kireji> MonkeyDust: the issue is within the Ubuntu system it's not easy/possible to figure out teh severity of kernel upgrades
[14:32] <srhb> Kireji: The changelog!
[14:32] <srhb> Kireji: It's right there in /usr/share/doc ..
[14:33] <Kireji> srhb: The changelog! is not included!
[14:33] <Kireji> or easy to find
[14:33] <srhb> You mean before the update?
[14:33] <Kireji> ideally, yes, but I'd take it even after
[14:33] <Kireji> because it also requires a reboot, which is the real issue
[14:33] <srhb> Kireji: I see the changelog on my system.
[14:33] <Kireji> all services stop
[14:34] <Kireji> where?
[14:34] <Kireji> "where can I read the changes and decide if I ned to do these reboots?"
[14:34] <srhb> Kireji: In /usr/share/doc .
[14:35] <manju> hi
[14:35] <Kireji> zless /usr/share/doc/linux-image-3.2.0-35-generic/changelog.Debian.gz   oudn it
[14:35] <Kireji> found it
[14:35] <manju> hi
[14:35] <Kireji> thank you
[14:35] <srhb> Kireji: Welcome.
[14:38] <stigmata> i want to install a printer canon 6000 any idea?
[14:38] <root> hi
[14:39] <root> hello
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> srhb  i'm curious myself, what is the filename for the kernel changes?
[14:41] <srhb> MonkeyDust: The package changelog includes the changes that were deemed important in the Launchpad tracking.
[14:41] <srhb> (I think.)
[14:42] <srhb> If you want all the upstream changes, you really do need to go to kernel.org - but that's information overload in most cases I think.
[14:42] <MonkeyDust> srhb  yeah, but i mean the log file, this dude was looking for
[14:42] <MonkeyDust> ok
[14:43] <chadoh> tmux and irssi are not getting along for me. the scrolling is all off. When I PageUp, the top half of the page scrolls, and when I page down, the bottom half of the page scrolls. I'm sshed into an EC2 instance running Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS. My local machine is running OS X 10.8.

[14:44] <thoonai> ?
[14:45] <DerRidda> Anyone here familiar with the (mis)behavings whoopsie?
[14:46] <srhb> MonkeyDust: In /usr/local/doc/linux-image-[version]/changelog.Debian.gz you will find the package history. The upstream changes are logged as such
[14:47] <DerRidda> Legend of Grimrock crashed and sending the crashreport somehow involves whoopsie sending lots of data at over 100-150 kb/s.
[14:47] <DerRidda> I feel like I'm uploading the entire thing.

[14:54] <someone235> can someone help me with vsftpd? I don't know how to config this.
[14:55] <S`Husky> What about it in particular
[14:55] <S`Husky> There are loads of ways of configuring an FTP daemon
[14:55] <S`Husky> Do you just want it to use unix accounts or virtual accounts from a database etc

[14:56] <Vegetablesalad> I'm trying to install ubuntu server.  I downloaded "ubuntu-12.04.1-server-amd64.iso" made usb start disk from it.
[14:56] <Vegetablesalad> In tutorial its said that I have to "Select 'basic server install' (after language selection)" , but I cant find that anywhere. Entire installation process is the same as regular desktop version, and it installs just that.
[14:56] <Vegetablesalad> What am I doing wrong?
[14:56] <someone235> S`Husky , I just want it to work
[14:56] <iceroot> Vegetablesalad: the server version does not install a gui
[14:56] <someone235> I've installed it by this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html . but I can't connect from my pc.
[14:57] <S`Husky> someone235: for starters, is the daemon running
[14:57] <S`Husky> verify by doing 'ps ax | grep vsftpd' from a shell
[14:57] <someone235> yep it is
[14:58] <S`Husky> do you get an output with 'netstat -tapn | grep 21'
[14:59] <S`Husky> should be something like
[14:59] <S`Husky> tcp  0  0 <IP_ADDRESS>:21 <IP_ADDRESS>:*  LISTEN  945/vsftpd
[14:59] <DerRidda> iceroot: I already asked the proper one but let's have it again: Legen of Grimrock crashed, I got prompted to send the usual crash report and now whoopsie is sending data at 130-150 kiB/s, hogging all my upload as if it was uploading all of the game including assets and I don't know what to do about it.
[14:59] <someone235> tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:21              <IP_ADDRESS>:*               LISTEN      31944/vsftpd
[14:59] <someone235> S`Husky, ^^
[15:00] <S`Husky> any firewall on the box?
[15:00] <someone235> don't think so
[15:01] <someone235> S`Husky, it says "Response:	530 Login incorrect."
[15:01] <S`Husky> Oooh so its connecting
[15:01] <S`Husky> just not logging in
[15:01] <someone235> yep
[15:01] <someone235> sorry for not clarifying it
[15:01] <S`Husky> can you post your vsftpd config file to http://pastebin.com pleae

[15:16] <theadmin> When running fglrx on amd64, it seems it doesn't pull in various 32-bit opengl libs necessary for 32-bit apps (e.g. Steam, Wine) to work properly. Attempting to "apt-get install fglrx:i386" fails. How do I get those?
[15:17] <BugzGuy> Is there a better way to call a web page every X seconds than this using the command line in ubuntu? http://www.coderprofile.com/site/pastebin/16727
[15:18] <Vegetablesalad> So when I install ubuntu server it starts up, and I have regular ubuntu login screen, then it logs in and shows cursor and ubuntu desktop background with no UI. Is that right ?
[15:18] <plut0> any idea why mkinitramfs is failing in chroot? http://pastebin.com/NB8cQa1e

[15:19] <theadmin> plut0: Hm... Ok I have no idea what /aufs is so that complaint seems weird to me
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> BugzGuy  guess you better ask that in #bash

[15:19] <BugzGuy> Ah, my bad thanks MonkeyDust
[15:19] <theadmin> plut0: Oh...
[15:21] <plut0> any ideas?

[15:23] <quince> A question not strictly about ubuntu, but about using it in typical home wifi environments: I want to ssh to my nexus 7 (running ubuntu) from my ubuntu laptop, using the same wifi network in both cases.  That works fine on my home wifi network.  My question is: is that likely to work on typical home wifi networks?  Anybody know whether typical default routing & firewalling rules on home wifi routers are likely to stop th
[15:23] <quince> at working?
[15:24] <plut0> any idea why mkinitramfs is failing in chroot? http://pastebin.com/NB8cQa1e
[15:24] <theadmin> quince: Well, routers are very different, but I honestly don't see why any router would ever prevent you from accessing local devices
[15:25] <giu> ciao
[15:25] <giu> !list
[15:26] <quince> theadmin: thanks -- is this something you've tried in a bog-standard home network? (i.e. using anything not on port 80?)
[15:26] <quince> (or 443)
[15:27] <theadmin> quince: Well, I can easily ssh from my phone to my computer on my home network or access other computers around (e.g. ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:27] <quince> theadmin: so can I, but my setup (hand-tweaked openwrt) is not exactly typical, and I suspect yours isn't either?
[15:28] <theadmin> quince: Hm, mine is more-or-less typical (dd-wrt), but I have no problems with another network at home that's quite typical (D-Link router with default firmware)
[15:28] <alexfu> Hello guys, I installed GNOME 3 and applied a custom theme. Some applications such as xchat, synaptic, and chrome are still using the classic GTK theme. how do I get those applications to use the current user theme?

[15:34] <jodlajodla> hello! i have problem with temperature on acer aspire one 725 - temperature in idle is about 70° C and in load about 80° to 85° C... what can I do, because I think this are not normal temperatures?
[15:34] <S`Husky> jodlajodla: That probably isnt an ubuntu issue. More hardware.
[15:35] <S`Husky> Are the heatsinks clogged with dirt?
[15:35] <quince> raven: how about running apt-cacher-ng on the other machine, then editing your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to that machine?
[15:35] <plut0> any idea why mkinitramfs is failing in chroot? http://pastebin.com/NB8cQa1e
[15:35] <quince> raven: or does it have to be completely offline for some reason?
[15:36] <Syncsys_> how to know my lan ip address?
[15:36] <theadmin> Syncsys_: ip addr
[15:36] <jodlajodla> S`Husky so you're saying this are normal temperatures and I don't have to worry about that?
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> raven  in a terminal, type apt cache show apt-cacher-ng
[15:37] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: You missed a -
[15:37] <quince> raven: or use apt-offline? (I've never used that)
[15:37] <S`Husky> jodlajodla: I'm saying its not a software issue.

[15:37] <marty> hi. might there be somebody able and willing to help me get my required resolution setup, please? i have a dreaded sis671 to contend with. i followed these instructions: http://ajoliveira.com/ajoliveira/uk/software/xorg.php yet am still stuck using vesa
[15:37] <Syncsys_> theadmin,  there are so many ip addrses. which one is mine? i use eth2
[15:37] <S`Husky> jodlajodla: check that the fan and the heatsync are not full of dirt
[15:37] <someone235> S`Husky, yes http://pastebin.com/vCVZAaDV
[15:38] <jodlajodla> S`Husky computer is new ;)
[15:38] <theadmin> Syncsys_: The one that comes up in your interface after "inet "
[15:38] <Syncsys_> theadmin,  there are 2 inets
[15:38] <S`Husky> idle at 70 is a bit high
[15:38] <S`Husky> but ive seen load temps of up to 80
[15:38] <S`Husky> sometimes higher
[15:39] <theadmin> marty: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Sis
[15:39] <S`Husky> someone235: are you using your ubuntu username to try and log in?
[15:39] <theadmin> Syncsys_: Well, the one that matches with your interface.
[15:39] <marty> theadmin: it was from that page i was linked to my provided link
[15:39] <hikenboot> can anyone explain to me why when I add a tcp/ip sub interface to a newtwork card the system takes 10 mintues to boot getting beyound the networking?
[15:39] <jodlajodla> S`Husky i already installed fglrx-updates and it's a few degrees colder, but this is still hot -> is it possible that k10temp is showing wrong temperature?
[15:39] <hikenboot> s/beyound/beyond
[15:40] <S`Husky> its always a possibility. but I couldn't give you a definate yes or no on that one
[15:40] <theadmin> marty: Oh bah, sorry
[15:40] <marty> theadmin: hehe, np
[15:40] <someone235> S`Husky, yes
[15:40] <quince> hikenboot: presumably you've had a look in the logs?
[15:40] <hikenboot> /var/log/dmesg?
[15:40] <S`Husky> someone235: I had to ask because the log shows that you are using the username "root" to log into ftp
[15:40] <marty> theadmin: it works fine when using the sisimedia driver (mandriva/mageia) so this -is- possible. i just don't know how :(
[15:41] <S`Husky> Wouldn't recommend that at all tbh
[15:41] <quince> I usually sudo grep -rli /var/log ...
[15:41] <quince> but yes, dmesg is a good place to start
[15:41] <Syncsys_> theadmin,  got it.  I can see it and when in browser. my webserver shows up a website that is runing on the linux machine. but I cant access files and folders that are shared in linux, from windows. why?
[15:41] <someone235> S`Husky, yes, my mistake. Next time I'll try from another user
[15:42] <theadmin> Syncsys_: Not really familiar with samba so can't help you there
[15:42] <someone235> S`Husky, but u have any idea what it is not working?
[15:42] <Vegetablesalad> I installed ubuntu server and now when I'm upgrading i see it downloads updates for libre office and gtk and a lot more gui software, why is that ?
[15:42] <Syncsys_> theadmin,  no problem
[15:42] <S`Husky> someone235: the root password is disabled in default installations of ubuntu
[15:42] <S`Husky> is one reason possibly
[15:42] <jodlajodla> S`Husky ok, because I think it is - max working temp for my processor is 90° C and lm-sensors is saying critical is 100° C?
[15:43] <fermulator> I have my root ubuntu parition @ /dev/mapper/isw_fegbaeadg_RAID0_SSD1.  When I boot into Ubuntu 12.04 LIVECD, it for some reason auto-mounts that partition to /cdrom as read-only.  So I force unmount it, but my ubuntu root partition is still "busy".  (http://pastebin.com/NeaF8vrK) What can I do to fix this? (I need to mount it rw to repair grub).
[15:43] <S`Husky> jodlajodla: I'd keep an eye on it.
[15:44] <S`Husky> someone235: Failing that, please add this to your vsftpd config file. pam_service_name=vsftpd
[15:45] <someone235> S`Husky, what it means?
[15:45] <S`Husky> apparantly its an issue people have had before
[15:45] <S`Husky> where vsftpd trys to use the ftpd service with pam
[15:45] <S`Husky> and fails
[15:45] <S`Husky> so specifing vsftpd has been shown to resolve the problem
[15:45] <strontium> anyone have any ideas why my physical network cards keep starting as "down" on boot but if i manually go "ip link set LanA up" i can manually up them?

[15:47] <theadmin> jaime: stop, drop and sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[15:47] <jaime> so tried downloading new version from website and installed, moved one of the files to firefox plugins but still no luck!
[15:47] <someone235> S`Husky, It works! It just disallow the "root" :)
[15:47] <someone235> Thank you very much!
[15:47] <S`Husky> :)
[15:47] <S`Husky> no problems
[15:48] <theadmin> jaime: Seriously, this is Linux, you don't install software from wobsites, you search the repositories (through the Ubuntu Software Center, Synaptic or command-line utilities)
[15:48] <Vegetablesalad> When installing ubuntu server from tutorial:
[15:48] <Vegetablesalad> 1)At the boot prompt you will be asked to select the language. 2)Select 'basic server install'.
[15:48] <Vegetablesalad> I didn't have this option, It was regular GUI install screen as with ubuntu desktop.
[15:48] <theadmin> Vegetablesalad: ...Then you're not installing Ubuntu Server.
[15:48] <theadmin> Vegetablesalad: You have a wrong image
[15:48] <quince> hikenboot: just a wild guess -- is it configured to dhcp on the sub interface? (in /etc/network/interfaces)  is it failing to do that?  If that seems likely you can try running sudo dhclient <interface name> to reproduce the problem
[15:48] <Vegetablesalad> How do I get 'basic server install' ?
[15:48] <S`Husky> Vegetablesalad: its a differnt disc image
[15:48] <bekks> Vegetablesalad: Do you use the ubuntu server cd?
[15:49] <axioo> Hi, when I make my cpu work too much a kernel panic happens. As I couldn't have crashlog I used netconsole. Here is what I get just before the crash: http://pastebin.com/Ycaae8hP What should I do?
[15:49] <Vegetablesalad> bekks: theadmin: I'm using "ubuntu-12.04.1-server-amd64.iso"
[15:49] <S`Husky> Vegetablesalad: the ISO should be called ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso when you download it
[15:49] <hikenboot> no its configured with a static address..but let me double check I do see one message here pci 0000:00:18:5 BAR 13 can't assign io (size 0x1000)
[15:49] <S`Husky> or that
[15:49] <Vegetablesalad> from usb flash
[15:49] <theadmin> Vegetablesalad: What's the MD5 of that?
[15:50] <quince> strontium: what's in your /etc/network/interfaces?  Maybe missing an "auto LanA" line?
[15:50] <theadmin> Vegetablesalad: Has to be: a8c667e871f48f3a662f3fbf1c3ddb17
[15:50] <bekks> Vegetablesalad: From where did you download it?
[15:50] <Vegetablesalad> from ubuntu.com
[15:50] <bekks> axioo: You have a faulty CPU.
[15:50] <Vegetablesalad> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server
[15:51] <hikenboot> I found a typo with my dns server address rebooting to see if it fixes the problem
[15:51] <jaime> no flashplugin-installer hasnt worked neither
[15:51] <theadmin> Odd. The server images simply don't *have* a graphical installer
[15:52] <rdw200169> theadmin: they won't.  its pretty much a rule that you don't install a graphical environment on a server
[15:52] <theadmin> rdw200169: I was talking to Vegetablesalad, who claims that updating a server install pulls in a GUI, and that the installer is graphical.
[15:52] <theadmin> rdw200169: I do have common sense ;)
[15:53] <Vegetablesalad> theadmin: I how do check it ?
[15:53] <rdw200169> theadmin: fair enough ;)
[15:53] <theadmin> Vegetablesalad: Well, on Linux, md5sum /path/to/ubuntu-12.04.1-server-amd64.iso
[15:53] <Vegetablesalad> i have file "md5sum.txt" on iso - it's full of md5 for folders, but where is global ?
[15:53] <Vegetablesalad> oh ok
[15:54] <fermulator> When I boot Ubuntu LiveCD (12.04), it automatically mounts me real root ubuntu parittion as /cdrom!!  Why does it do this?
[15:54] <Vegetablesalad> theadmin: "a8c667e871f48f3a662f3fbf1c3ddb17  /home/usr/Downloads/ubuntu-12.04.1-server-amd64.is"
[15:55] <bekks> Vegetablesalad: Then visit the website again, and compare the md5sum
[15:55] <theadmin> Vegetablesalad:  Ok now this is simply weird
[15:55] <Vegetablesalad> I'll try  to make new usb startup
[15:55] <bekks> Vegetablesalad: First, please compare the md5 sum.
[15:56] <axioo> bekks: How do I solve that?
[15:56] <bekks> axioo: By getting a new CPU from the CPU dealer of your choice.
[15:56] <hikenboot> I am getting lots of messages in dmesg that say apparmor="STATUS" is that normal
[15:56] <theadmin> bekks: I already had him do that, his matches the md5 of the server image
[15:57] <Vegetablesalad> theadmin:bekks: I found the problem. http://img.lejup.lv/images/lejupgtbwjfz1356278250.png
[15:58] <bekks> Vegetablesalad: :P
[15:58] <quince> fermulator: that does seem odd.  Is it stopping you from doing something?
[15:59] <theadmin> Vegetablesalad: Heh.
[15:59] <Vegetablesalad> When I select server iso It doesn't select it it just adds it to list like this: http://img.lejup.lv/images/lejupijuhbvb1356278347.png
[15:59] <Vegetablesalad> I didn't see that its still on desktop v
[15:59] <strontium> is there any reason why my network cards start down and I have to manually stop networking, up them and restart networking to get the network to run?  They are all listed as auto in /etc/network/interfaces ??
[16:00] <Vegetablesalad> theadmin: bekks: Sorry for hustle, and thanks for help.
[16:00] <quince> strontium: probably the answer is in the logs somewhere.  Any luck there?
[16:00] <theadmin> Vegetablesalad: Happens.
[16:01] <strontium> quince, nope neither udev nor dmesg say anything, except they are "down"  no reason why.
[16:01] <quince> how are you adding the sub interface?
[16:02] <strontium> quince, I don't know what you mean by sub interface
[16:02] <quince> strontium: maybe post your dmesg and see if somebody else can spot something out of the ordinary
[16:02] <quince> strontium: oh, sorry, mixing you up with somebody else
[16:03] <bekks> Vegetablesalad: You have to choose from the list. Click on the item you want to select as the source.
[16:03] <konam> for some reason, the flash plugin that ubuntu installs using the official firefox wizard doesn't seem to load videos effectively
[16:03] <konam> the flash plugin is there, but the videos never actually begin to load or play
[16:03] <konam> ubuntu 12.10
[16:04] <quince> strontium: still, posting your dmesg for last book might help
[16:04] <Miloa> yo
[16:05] <Treadstone__71> I have a question about Steam + updates. I have installed STeam but when I try to update via the update manager I get Requeires installation of untruesed packages and it dies  ? (steam:i386)
[16:05] <quince> konam: dpkg -l flashplugin-installer
[16:06] <quince> that's what I installed -- I didn't use the firefox UI
[16:07] <konam> quince do you have the same issue? that package appears as installed on synaptic
[16:07] <quince> konam: erm, I'm actually on 12.04, and no
[16:07] <quince> didn't notice you said 12.10
[16:09] <red_Rudy> Hi everybody !
[16:09] <quince> konam: if it's youtube you're after you could always try enabling their HTML5 trial (google it)
[16:09] <konam> quince is not because of youtube since it does use html5 automatically if it doesn't find a suitable flash plugin
[16:09] <quince> konam: last I heard Adobe stopped supporting flash on linux, so it may rot
[16:09] <Treadstone__71> Anyone?
[16:10] <quince> konam: so perhaps it believes it has found one, but that plugin does not work
[16:10] <konam> which is part of the problem, since it goes to the html5 version even with flash "installed"
[16:10] <quince> konam: it is possible to ask youtube to try html5 first, and ignore flash unless it html5 wouldn't work for a particular video
[16:10] <theadmin> quince: Mozilla and Google are developing their own Flash implementations so even if it will "rot" nobody will ever notice anything
[16:10] <theadmin> quince: Well, unless you use Opera
[16:11] <quince> theadmin: oh, cool (er, I think... maybe I'd prefer it to rot :-)
[16:12] <quince> konam: ah.  How did you verify that that's what it's doing?
[16:13] <thinker_> have people
[16:13] <hikenboot> interesting enough i also found this messgae ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready...dont get this when the sub interface isnt attached
[16:13] <quince> konam: maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-installer from command line and see if it prints something informative?
[16:13] <hikenboot> it says somthing about IPv6
[16:13] <hikenboot> should i some how try and remove IP6
[16:14] <tisse> yeah, so i installed mint just now
[16:14] <ThinkT510> !mint | tisse
[16:14] <tisse> installed nvdiia drivers and taskpar disappeared
[16:14] <tisse> argh
[16:14] <tisse> thanks
[16:14] <tisse> !mint
[16:14] <tisse> öh
[16:14] <tisse> aeehå
[16:14] <FloodBot1> tisse: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:14] <tisse> psorry
[16:15] <theadmin> hikenboot: http://www.noobslab.com/2012/05/disable-ipv6-if-your-internet-is.html
[16:15] <hikenboot> thanks theadmin
[16:19] <bmease> I'm getting 10 second freezes every minute or two when i ssh into one of my boxes, any suggestions on how to track down what the problem is?
[16:19] <quince> hikenboot: sorry if this is obvious: if that doesn't work, remember to look at the dmesg timestamps to see where it stops doing much for a long time
[16:19] <dwatkins> bmease: I got that as a result of the caching of the bash command suggestions, I think there's a bug open for it
[16:20] <bmease> dwatkins: thanks i'll search for it
[16:20] <hikenboot> thanks quincy  I will keep it in mind...thanks a lot for the suggestion
[16:22] <Naeblis> I can't see any audio control working. tail -f'ing .xsession-errors gives me this: "** (gnome-volume-control-applet:1929): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting...
[16:23] <quince> bmease: little tip that sometimes makes that kind of bug less aggravating: hit return, then ~, then . (period) -- that will disconnect the ssh session
[16:23] <Naeblis> any ideas how I can fix this?
[16:25] <question12345> hi all
[16:25] <question12345> somebody here?
[16:25] <lws> Well? all my audio stuff has mysteriously disappeared
[16:25] <bmease> quince: thanks, just gave it a go and that will help.
[16:25] <lws> XBMC can play audio, but nothing else seems to be able to -- and I have no audio preferences.
[16:25] <question12345> somebody here?
[16:26] <quince> Naeblis: is this just default configuration, or have you configured pulse at all?
[16:26] <quince> question12345: just ask
[16:26] <Naeblis> quince, not sure? I'm using alsa...
[16:27] <lws> anybody know what the proper package is for sound config?  Some update must have removed it.
[16:28] <quince> lws: does aplay work?  aplay /old/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/share/gallery/sounds/apert.wav
[16:28] <plut0> any idea why i'm getting this error inside a chroot? http://pastebin.com/RatMpU3G
[16:28] <lws> I don't have that wav file
[16:28] <lws> No it does not
[16:28] <lws> at least not with other wav files
[16:29] <question12345> should i take ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10?!?!?!
[16:29] <wrq6152> quince: /old seems a weird toplevel directory
[16:29] <question12345> should i take ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10?!?!?!
[16:29]  * lws grumbles about how shit changes every time he sits down to use his computer.
[16:29] <lws> I had this all setup a couple weeks ago.
[16:30] <lws> XBMC seems to be working fine too. It's real odd.
[16:30] <xangua> !language | lws
[16:32] <question12345> no help???
[16:32] <bekks> question12345: It is your decision which Ubuntu you want to use.
[16:32] <question12345> better 12.10 or 12.04? :)
[16:32] <ThinkT510> question12345: depends what you want
[16:33] <question12345> well i want stable and up to date
[16:33] <bekks> !best | question12345
[16:33] <mrhyde> how do i make ubuntu render sharper font? i'm using ubuntu on a 13inch mbp and the font on firefox seems fuzzy
[16:33] <bekks> !lts | question12345
[16:33] <ThinkT510> question12345: 12.04 longer support, 12.10 more recent apps
[16:33] <question12345> well i don't want to upgrade every 6 months!!!!!
[16:33] <lws> quince: Any other ideas?  Audio is working, XBMC can play.  Everything else is not working though :/
[16:33] <quince> wrq6152: oops -- meant to strip that off, sorry (I have an old filesystem mounted there, locate turned that up)
[16:33] <bekks> question12345: Then dont do it, use LTS instead.
[16:33] <lws> quince: Also, all my sound preferences have disappeared.
[16:33] <question12345> bekks: thank you
[16:34] <question12345> bekks: with unity or gnome 3? :)
[16:34] <dylan> So I want to start ubuntu without starting X,but still be able to log into my acc, how do I do this?
[16:34] <dylan> or alternatively, how do I kill X whil logged in
[16:34] <ThinkT510> question12345: try both see what you like
[16:34] <dylan> I just want a CLI
[16:34] <bekks> question12345: Please take a look at 12.04 before :P
[16:34] <konam> quince dpkg reconfigure asks me for the location of the flash plugin, i don't know if it always asks for it but it seems that it doesn't recognize the plugin as being installed, even though the browser does (even if the video doesn't ever play, it does show to be using the plugin right clicking on it)
[16:34] <plut0> any idea why i'm getting this error inside a chroot? http://pastebin.com/RatMpU3G
[16:34] <question12345> bekks:  ThinkT510 i heard gnome 3 in ubuntu is NOT as good as it could be
[16:34] <quince> lws: so aplay works, right?
[16:35] <ThinkT510> question12345: i don't use gnome3
[16:35] <question12345> ThinkT510: what you use???
[16:35] <dylan> So I want to start ubuntu without starting X,but still be able to log into my acc, how do I do this?
[16:35] <bekks> question12345: I dont care what other people hear. Take a look at 12.04, then try the desktop environments you want to try, ,and then choose the one you want to use.
[16:35] <ThinkT510> question12345: unity, but xfce is my favourite
[16:36] <ThinkT510> question12345: like bekks says, try them and see what you like
[16:36] <question12345> bekks: ThinkT510 is xfce also LTS?
[16:36] <question12345> 5 years?
[16:36] <dylan> How do I stop X and drop into a command line>
[16:36] <bekks> question12345: Please read the link you have been given.
[16:36] <dylan> I don't want the GUI using up resources
[16:36] <question12345> what link
[16:36] <bekks> !lts | question12345
[16:37] <quince> Naeblis: which version of gnome-media do you have?  dpkg -l gnome-media
[16:37] <dylan> How do I stop X and drop into a command line?  I don't want the GUI using up resources.
[16:37] <bekks> question12345: No link but the text ubottu told you.
[16:37] <mrpink57> dylan: you could edit grub to start in init 3
[16:37] <bekks> !patience > dylan
[16:37] <Naeblis> quince,  2.32.0-0ubuntu7
[16:38] <red_Rudy> Hi everybody (again)!
[16:38] <dylan> mrpink57: how do I go about doing that?
[16:38] <lws> quince: No, aplay does not work.
[16:39] <quince> Naeblis: as a workaround, you could try pkill pulseaudio
[16:39] <question12345> bekks: ThinkT510 i'll try Xubuntu 12.04 it has 3 years!!!!!!!!!
[16:39] <sheikhmak> hey guys I have a conceptual conception, i'm trying to setup x11vnc over ssh tunnel
[16:39] <mrpink57> dylan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1904347 start there and work forward.  honestly if you're green on doing this it won't be easy as it goes
[16:39] <sheikhmak> the host that runs the ssh server and vnc servers, I wanted to know if I could keep the vnc port shut and it will still work ?
[16:40] <sheikhmak> *shit conceptual question lol
[16:40] <Naeblis> quince, don't have pulseaudio installed, so that won't work, I think
[16:40] <lws> quince: My card shows up in HDA-intel, but in pulseaudio volume control it only shows the dummy output.
[16:40] <compdoc> sheikhmak, shut on the server, or shut on the firewall?
[16:40] <quince> sheikhmak: why would it work?  Have you looked at sshuttle?
[16:41] <sheikhmak> compdoc, on the firewall, I'm trying to understand if ssh tunneling means, only the ssh port could remain open
[16:41] <bekks> question12345: Dont use punctuation signs that excessively. They do NOT attract people, they annoy people.
[16:42] <compdoc> sheikhmak, long ago I started using a vpn to admin my customer's servers. No ports have to be open in the firewall for ssh or vnc
[16:42] <compdoc> but you got the concept right
[16:44] <dylan> mrpink57: That works, but I can't do what I need to do
[16:45] <bekks> dylan: Then tell us what you really want to do?
[16:45] <dylan> I'm trying to run a CLI program with mono.  I tried to run it in the root shell prompt, but it just displayed some version info
[16:45] <sheikhmak> compdoc, I've shut all the ports on my ubuntu host, I only open a random port that I run ssh off. For security I used to use x11vnc with certificates, but that solution i couldn't find an android client that will achieve that. so I decided to use ssh tunneling. And I'm trying to figure out, obviously the ssh port have to be opened, but i'm trying to see if the vnc's port gotta be open as well, if it does, defeats my original purp
[16:45] <sheikhmak> ose
[16:45] <bekks> dylan: Do NOT run applications as root unless knowing what you are doing there very well.
[16:46] <dylan> bekks: I'm well aware of that
[16:46] <compdoc> sheikhmak, not with a tunnel. But other than a vpn, Ive never used a tunnel
[16:46] <dylan> SO
[16:46] <Krenair> Anyone know how to force the close/minimise/maximise buttons at the top left of the screen to stay there, even when the window isn't maximised?
[16:46] <quince> Naeblis: maybe that's the problem?   Sorry, can't find the source code for it easily, I probably got the package name wrong...
[16:47] <Krenair> (in unity)
[16:47] <ThinkT510> Krenair: they will stay there when the window isn't maximised
[16:47] <othrguy> hello, is it possible to some1 help me with an issue i have? ( backing-up_ or point me in the right direction?
[16:47] <Krenair> Well it doesn't work for me
 sshuttle??
[16:48] <ThinkT510> Krenair: maybe i misunderstood you
[16:48] <Krenair> ThinkT510, when I make a window non-maximised, I can only see the first part of the window title in the top left
[16:48] <Krenair> The buttons disappear from the bar at the top and follow the window title bar
[16:49] <Krenair> I don't mind them being on the title bar, but they should stay on the bar at the top as well
[16:49] <othrguy> is it possible to get some help here?
[16:49] <ThinkT510> Krenair: i see, i don't know how to help with that sorry

[16:50] <othrguy> i need to backup my whole system, if i tar the home folder, do i also backup all the installed software?
[16:50] <ThinkT510> othrguy: no

[16:53] <quince> lws: the alsa irc people have a script called alsa-info.sh (google it) which might be helpful

[16:53] <tcafmi> I have changed my hostname, since then I get the message "xxx is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported." . how can I change the /etc/sudoers file?
[16:53] <lws> quince: Sat down to play my keyboard this morning, and it was broken
[16:53] <quince> lws: in my experience, alsa is like that :-(
[16:53] <lws> quince:  In my experience, linux is like that.    I switched from gentoo to ubuntu because every time I went to use my machine on the weekends something new was unexpectedly broken. :/
[16:54] <quince> lws: actually that's not quite fair -- it doesn't break for me unless I change something.  But it usually seems sound doesn't work on a clean install, for me (apparently I'm unusual in that, though...)
[16:54] <hikenboot> is there a way to get the screen loging on boot to show a time stamp
[16:54] <lws> I though fsck.ext4 was supposed to run really quickly?
[16:54] <quince> lws: well, that's not unexpected with gentoo, but it would be unexpected with ubuntu, IME
[16:54] <lws> ubuntu has been saying it will fsck my drives next startup for months, so I'm manually running it -- and getting tons of messages

[16:55] <quince> lws: (not knocking gentoo, it's just designed like that, really)
[16:55] <lws> quince: yeah, gentoo is not for someone who doesn't want to manually edit config files every time they run an update.
[16:55] <sheikhmak> quince alright I see a bit how it works, forward all traffic through ssh.

[17:10] <frenzy> Today my OCZ boot disk said byebye. I am reinstalling from scratch however next time i'd like to have a BMR solution. Provided that i do not care about restoring single files and my root filesystem is small (5gb) is there any super easy solution without a gui? I could go in single user and DD /dev/sda1 to a file, that would be enough, but id like to have something be able to run via cron
[17:10] <ikonia> frenzy: it's that simple
[17:10] <frenzy> ah, and, p.s. i am not using LVM
[17:11] <frenzy> just ext4 on sda1
[17:11] <ikonia> still that simple
[17:11] <ikonia> frenzy: may want to back up the MBR too
[17:11] <frenzy> ikonia: no, let's say i do not care about the mbr, i can reinstall grub if the ssd dies, i just want a copy of the o.s.
[17:12] <frenzy> i have a local (non ssd) disk where i can store the copy
[17:13] <ikonia> frenzy: do that then
[17:13] <ikonia> frenzy: remember your uuid refernece may change
[17:13] <ikonia> so you'll have to adjust that potentiallyu
[17:13] <frenzy> do what?
[17:13] <ikonia> change any reference to UUID's
[17:13] <frenzy> i am not referencing the uuid :)
[17:13] <ikonia> (post restore)
[17:14] <ikonia> frenzy: you are, they will be referenced by grub, by your fstab etc
[17:14] <frenzy> ok, but how do i backup online ?? i cannot just "DD" the disk while mounted rw
[17:14] <llutz> frenzy: daily-cronjob syncing / onto 2nd drive, mounted at /mnt for this:  "rsync -Haurx --delete-after --exclude="/etc/fstab" --exclude="/etc/mtab" --exclude="/boot/grub/grub.cfg" / /mnt/ "
[17:14] <ikonia> frenzy: yes, dd it while mounted
[17:14] <ikonia> (just the partition)
[17:14] <ikonia> it's better to do it offline, however it can be doneonline
[17:14] <ikonia> done online
[17:15] <frenzy> well, no, unless ext4 has some sort of snap functionality, if fs is synced in the meanwhile i might end up with a corrupted image
[17:15] <ikonia> frenzy: it has no such thing
[17:15] <ikonia> and you won't end up with a corrupted image
[17:15] <ikonia> your only risk is inflight files such as log files
[17:15] <ikonia> which I'm assuming you'd have no issue zeroing
[17:16] <ikonia> or living without a line or two
[17:16] <g_byers> brb
[17:16] <frenzy> i usually mount /var/log in ramfs, so that's easy
[17:16] <frenzy> llutz: like your approach but id like a "huge" single file, faster to restore
[17:17] <llutz> frenzy: but my 2nd drive runs while the orig ssd died :)
[17:17] <frenzy> ikonia: however i am not really sure it will work, "dd" is not a snapshot, it might take 20 minutes to do the copy, did you tried this in the past?
[17:18] <ikonia> frenzy: it will take 20 minutes...it's not a snapshot, it's block by block copy of the device
[17:18] <jayar> i'm getting constant failure errors and 'bug reporting' events from smbd
[17:18] <frenzy> ikonia: exactly, in 20 minutes everything could change inside an fs structure, the resulting image might be just garbage
[17:19] <Echelon_I247> Hi, can anybody help me with identifying. In IRC.. Please.
[17:19] <auronandace> !register | Echelon_I247
[17:19] <theadmin> Echelon_I247: #freenode can
[17:19] <root__> .
[17:20] <ikonia> frenzy: then you have to start accepting the limitations
[17:20] <\\Mr_C\\> when i make a script for console with nano editor, how do i make it so i dont have to type ./ before the scriptname?
[17:20] <ikonia> frenzy: either a.) take the system down b.) use an online backup such as rsync c.) accept the limitations of dd'ing an online partition d.) purchase an enterprise backup application
[17:20] <frenzy> frenzy: yes, but if i am not sure about the copy then i prefer llutz approach which is 100% safe
[17:20] <theadmin> \\Mr_C\\: You can put it to any directory in your $PATH, e.g. ~/bin or /usr/local/bin
[17:20] <Echelon_I247> auronandace: I already registered my name I just wanted to Identify..
[17:20] <\\Mr_C\\> its in my root folder and im in the root folder
[17:21] <Keriin> .
[17:21] <llutz> Echelon_I247: /msg nickserv identify  s3cr3t
[17:21] <auronandace> Echelon_I247: /msg nickserv identify yourpassword
[17:21] <BluesKaj> Echelon_I247, it's ususally , /msg nickserv identify password
[17:21] <yugnip> \\Mr_C\\, make sure that 'executable' is checked in the scripts permissions
[17:21] <frenzy> ikonia: it would be nice to have snapshots in ext4, dreaming zfs on boot
[17:21] <auronandace> Echelon_I247: make sure you do it outside a channel
[17:21] <llutz> frenzy: easy, use solaris
[17:21] <theadmin> \\Mr_C\\: Well, you either put it to a folder in your $PATH or use the full path to it (. is just a shortcut to "current directory")
[17:22] <ikonia> frenzy: you don't have snapshots in ext4 - so it's pointless wishing for it
[17:22] <ikonia> frenzy: work a solution with what you do have
[17:22] <BluesKaj> Echelon_I247, in the server textbox on your irc client
[17:22] <Echelon_I247> BluesKaj: thankx.. :)
[17:22] <frenzy> llutz: ehehe, i have too many at work already :)
[17:22] <llutz> frenzy: well, then what ikonia wrote
[17:22] <frenzy> ikonia: i think best approach is doing both, weekly DD "live" and rsync, daily
[17:23] <ikonia> frenzy: that seems like a massive waste, but it's up to you
[17:23] <srhb> dd live? What will that accomplish?
[17:23] <frenzy> ikonia: i have a 3tb drive and OS will probably use less than 2GB
[17:23] <ikonia> frenzy: it is still a massive waste of time and effort
[17:24] <ikonia> frenzy: but it is yours to waste
[17:24] <frenzy> ikonia: believe me, reinstalling from scratch worth 100 times that setup
[17:24] <jayar> anyone else having issues with smbd?
[17:24] <Syncsys__>  clueless problem . tring to share files in windows and linux. works ok in a wifi router connected to a dsl. slow thought but ok.    when i try to make a hotspot between  the computers or use wires with a seperate switch. either i cant see share folders.

[17:24] <frenzy> a dd and an rsync on cron is a 10 mins setup, its just space
[17:24] <Syncsys__> e folders disappear again.
[17:24] <theadmin> jayar: That's not a question. "issues" can be anything from "it's giving some error" to "it's making my hard drive create fish and eat cats"
[17:25] <ikonia> frenzy: it's yours to waste.
[17:25] <llutz> frenzy: reinstalling is easy, just backup your stuff from /etc, $HOME, some parts of /var and a list of isntalled packages.
[17:25] <jayar> constant "has caused an error" alerts
[17:26] <jayar> i guess smbd is creashing or something, and ubuntu wants me to report bugs... and its constant. and annoying
[17:26] <Echelon_I247> can i know how to run scripts and applications which are other than .deb
[17:26] <frenzy> llutz: yes, next time, now i have nothing, i lost my last "dd" image a couple of months ago and the ssd drive today, forgot to create one in the middle :)
[17:26] <yeats> jayar: you can just check "Ignore future crashes of this type"
[17:27] <frenzy> anyway thanks ikonia/llutz for the tips :)
[17:27] <yeats> jayar: and make sure you've kept up with updates
[17:27] <mrpink57> Echelon_I247: you can build from source
[17:27] <jayar> well yea, but i'd rather know what the problem is. i guess i'm asking if anyone is aware of the issue and if they just grin and bare it too, is it a known bug, is there an alternative... blah blah blah
[17:28] <mrpink57> Echelon_I247: i am sure there are programs or ways to say convert a rpm to deb but i care not to
[17:28] <jayar> i didnt form it in a question, thought you guys could just spidey sense that stuff... my bad
[17:28] <Echelon_I247> Especially i don't know how to run .tar files I am newbie to linux.. :(
[17:28] <MonkeyDust> jayar  is this helpful? http://ubuntuguide.net/disable-apport-error-reporting-in-ubuntu-12-10
[17:29] <Echelon_I247> mrpink57: Especially i don't know how to run .tar files I am newbie to linux.. :(
[17:29] <jayar> sure, that tells me how to stop it from telling me that its broken. i'd like to know how to fix it.
[17:29] <srhb> jayar: You will have to provide log information in order to make any progress with that. :)
[17:29] <mrpink57> Echelon_I247: i would suggest you start googling for this info, there is a lot of it out there.  Just put ubuntu at the end of your searches
[17:29] <konam> MonkeyDust i didn't know that thanks
[17:29] <konam> apport sure gets on my nerves
[17:29] <jayar> srhb: now we're gettin somewhere
[17:30] <yeats> jayar: /var/log/apport.log
[17:30] <konam> new users will surely get a bad impression from it
[17:30] <jayar> i've reported the bug for months now, attached is my log info /var/log/apport.log
[17:30] <konam> "everything keeps crashing on ubuntu.."
[17:30] <Echelon_I247> mrpink57: k thank you though, i'll go through that..
[17:30] <jayar> and i apt-get update/upgrade weekly... so maybe it hasn't been resolved
[17:31] <srhb> jayar: Paste the contents of the log file to a pastebin so we can see it.
[17:31] <jayar> and instead of waiting for a forum reply (cuz im a spoiled american that demands answers immediately) i came here ;-p
[17:31] <jayar> k
[17:32] <yeats> jayar: if you ask your questions correctly in the forums, you should get quick answers IMHO
[17:32] <MonkeyDust> jayar  "if everything else fails, join #ubuntu" ;-)
[17:33] <konam> MonkeyDust i usually do it the other way around, even though the forums users respond fairly quickly
[17:34] <yeats> jayar: unsolicited, I know, but this is probably worth reading if you have trouble getting good support: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[17:34] <jayar> http://pastebin.com/yJ28fRPm
[17:34] <jayar> lol @ MonkeyDust
[17:35] <jayar> i dunno, i've been on IRC since '97 so i'm used to just comin on and askin questions... never really been a forum guy unless theres not an irc channel for it
[17:35] <ikonia> jayar: have you looked in the logs
[17:36] <ikonia> the dbus warning is also useful

[17:43] <max999> hi all
[17:43] <max999> what does :(){ :|: & };: do in terminal?
[17:43] <theadmin> !danger
[17:43] <theadmin> max999: That's a forkbomb. Doesn't do anything horrible, just hangs your system after a while forcing you into a hard reset
[17:44] <_cb> Not sure this is the right place. If not please point me in the right direction. I understand that one can have multiple domains on a server and I know each domain has it's own folder. I don't understand how the name resolution works to point Domain A to folder A and Domain B to folder B
[17:45] <jayar> vhosts
[17:45] <llutz> _cb: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html
[17:45] <_cb> It was the right place to ask after all. Thanks !
[17:46] <theadmin> _cb: Well, the better place would've been #httpd
[17:46] <bjrohan> I had been trying to set up an rsync job (using ssh) in cron to run automatically. I can run the job via command line just fine, however in cron it says permission denied in the error output, can anyone help me?
[17:47] <_cb> the admin I will head in that direction. Thanks
[17:47] <MonkeyDust> bjrohan  try sudo crontab -e , the cron job then executes as if it were with sudo
[17:47] <icantdrive55> hows it goin everybody
[17:47] <bjrohan> MonkeyDust: will try, thanks
[17:48] <Knuckle> hello all, I'm running ubuntu gnome remix 12.10.1, and since updating my kernel a few days ago I haven't been able to get the proprietary nvidia drivers working
[17:48] <icantdrive55> anyone in here know the best linux irc chat room in general. tryin to ask someone who knows about slitaz however slitaz support irc SUCKS
[17:48] <MonkeyDust> bjrohan  mind: the cron job then belongs to 'root'
[17:48] <bjrohan> MonkeyDust: From what I can tell though that won't work. The issue seems to be that it can not log into the remote computer
[17:48] <llutz> bjrohan: what error?
[17:49] <jayar> icantdrive55: i like xchat
[17:49] <Knuckle> I can install them, run sudo nvidia-xconfig, but after rebooting gnome 3 refuses to start, reverting me to a gnome 2 desktop with horrible resolution until I switch back to the open source drivers and reboot
[17:49] <jayar> oh wait n/m lol
[17:49] <auronandace> icantdrive55: ##linux
[17:49] <bjrohan> MonkeyDust: It isn't that the job won't run, it is running because it prints out the error log that I specify, so the job runs, the problem is, it can't log into the other computer using ssh from what I can tell. I have ssh set to log into that destintation computer via rsa key
[17:49] <DJones> !alis | icantdrive55
[17:49] <bjrohan> Here is the line I am trying to run MonkeyDust:rsync -vaz --exclude 'Dropbox' --delete-before --force -e ssh  /home/bjrohan/ brohan@<IP_ADDRESS>:/media/BACKUP/HP_Laptop > $HOME/rsync.$(date +\%F).log 2> $HOME/rsync.$(date +\%F).err
[17:49] <xangua> Knuckle: tried the previous kernel¿
[17:49] <Knuckle> xangua: how do I do that?
[17:49] <MonkeyDust> bjrohan  ok, I had that too, i resolved it by creating a ssh key, to bypass the remote password
[17:49] <bjrohan> MonkeyDust: If I run that line from commande line, all goes well
[17:50] <xangua> Knuckle: hold Shift when you turn on the pc, the grub menu should show and you can select the previous kernel wich worked with your nvidia
[17:50] <bjrohan> MonkeyDust: I have an rsa key installed that works. in command line if I type ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>it logs me in just fine, no asking for a password b/c the rsa is working
[17:50] <bjrohan> MonkeyDust: apparently it isn't working okay in the cron
[17:50] <MonkeyDust> bjrohan  that's odd
[17:50] <Knuckle> xangua: ubuntu gnome remix has a slightly different bootscreen
[17:50] <Knuckle> it only shows one option to boot into ubuntu
[17:51] <Knuckle> er, not bootscreen, grub config
[17:51] <icantdrive55> sorry to all above that replied... ran out of room and thanks
[17:51] <xangua> Knuckle: as i said, hold Shift when you turn on the pc
[17:51] <Knuckle> hm, alright, I'll give that a try
[17:51] <Knuckle> bbl
[17:51] <Echelon_I247> ciao guys thanx for ur help guys.
[17:52] <chadoh> alright. scrolling in irssi is broken for me when using tmux within my ubuntu ec2 vm or my local mac. but scrolling in irssi works fine in screen. But I don't want to use screen, I want to use tmux harrumph.
[17:53] <theadmin> chadoh: scrolling how? Mouse wheel may not work, but pageup/pagedown should.
[17:54] <chadoh> theadmin: the mac keyboard maps fn + up/down arrows to Page Up/Down. I'm using that.
[17:54] <chadoh> Never the mouse. NEVER THE MOUSE! @theadmin
[17:55] <mashbro> hi
[17:55] <theadmin> chadoh: Hm, I see. Odd... It shoulda work, not sure
[17:56] <mashbro> how can I set up a LAMP server with PHP and mySQL? I'm on Ubuntu 11.04
[17:56] <llutz> !lamp | mashbro
[17:56] <kermit_> just google lamp
[17:57] <theadmin> mashbro: The answer is you can't. 11.04 is not supported.
[17:57] <chadoh> theadmin: yeah, I'm not sure what's up. When I PageUp, only the top half of irssi scrolls up. When I PageDown, only the bottom half scrolls. And new messages do not show up unless I PageUp then PageDown. Again, only in tmux. Screen (which I'm using now but not used to) is working fine. No multiplexer works fine.
[17:57] <mashbro> I'm getting, Unable to install taskel
[17:58] <mashbro> theadmin: any idea why?
[17:58] <ThinkT510> mashbro: 11.04 is no longer supported
[17:58] <llutz> !eol | mashbro
[17:58] <theadmin> mashbro: Because 11.04 is EOL. Repos were killed off.
[17:58] <mashbro> Ok.
[17:59] <mashbro> so I will need to upgrade to the latest version right?
[17:59] <Linpassion> hi
[17:59] <mashbro> Linpassion: hey
[17:59] <yeats> mashbro: probably a fresh install at this point, but yes - I'd recommend 12.04
[18:00] <mashbro> yeats: why not 12.10?
[18:00] <yeats> mashbro: because 12.04 is an LTS release and will be good for 5 years
[18:00] <mashbro> yeats, okay
[18:00] <yeats> well, 4 1/2 at this point ;-)
[18:00] <mashbro> how can I upgrade to 12.04 via terminal?
[18:01] <Linpassion> hi yeats
[18:01] <yeats> mashbro: not sure you can - you might need to back up your files and reinstall
[18:01] <yeats> Linpassion: hi?
[18:01] <theadmin> mashbro: You can't upgrade to 12.04 directly, would have to go through 11.10
[18:02] <mashbro> oops.
[18:02] <Linpassion> yeats you know how to change the purple screen on ubuntu 12.02 ?
[18:03] <yeats> Linpassion: can you provide more details about what you're asking? and which release? (there is no 12.02)
[18:04] <Linpassion> Ubuntu 12.02 LTS Destkop. When boot start up appera a purple screen,. i want to change it ore remove it to se the dmesg oputput like Slackware
[18:08] <zipace> Linpassion: you'll have to edit /etc/default/grub (and then run 'sudo update-grub')
[18:09] <Linpassion> ok, wath row i m'ust comment/uncomment?
[18:09] <ronmalloy> Hello all!
[18:09] <zipace> Linpassion: remove "quiet splash" from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, then run 'sudo update-grub'
[18:11] <ronmalloy> Can anyone direct me to the howto for laptop config, specifically, using  it with lid closed and HDMI out to external screen?
[18:11] <Linpassion> to edit grup? lilo was too easy!
[18:13] <zipace> Linpassion: just use any program to edit it, such as vim, emacs, gedit, kwrite, leafpad... whatever fits your bill
[18:13] <zipace> remember that you need superuser rights in order to edit it, due to being UID 0
[18:17] <Linpassion> pardon, to edit group which command
[18:29] <skp1> catbirger
[18:30] <nabn> hi I am having a hard time getting g++ to install
[18:30] <Knuckle> xangua: well I managed to figure it out
[18:31] <nabn> it says i have broken packages and/or unmet dependencies
[18:31] <nabn> what does that mean?
[18:31] <theadmin> nabn: sudo apt-get install gcc gives you that?
[18:32] <Knuckle> rebooting into older kernel didn't really go smooth, messed around with reinstalling nvidia drivers, noticed that the ones for the latest kernel weren't being made because I didn't have the header files
[18:33] <Knuckle> Installed linux-headers-generic, installed nvidia drivers, rebooted into latest kernel, everything works \o/
[18:34] <theadmin> nabn: Err, "sudo apt-get install g++", that is.

[18:36] <csemple> hi I recently upgraded (reinstalled) my OS from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 since then, the SD card reader on this laptop (acer eeePC 1000) doesn't work
[18:36] <csemple> it used to on 10.04
[18:37] <csemple> here is the output of dmesg -->    http://pastebin.com/uvshWWeV
[18:37] <Areckx> cs278::  maybe you need a different package in order to run in Precise?
[18:37] <Areckx> err csemple
[18:38] <csemple> hey Areckx
[18:38] <Areckx> that message was meant for you
[18:38] <csemple> right,
[18:38] <Areckx> which package worked for 10.04?
[18:38] <Areckx> and also, have you considered reinstalling 10.04?
[18:40] <csemple> Areckx, I never had to install a package to get the sd card reader working
[18:40] <csemple> as far as I know
[18:40] <Tech-1> do your thumb drives work ?
[18:40] <Areckx> csemple::  That means that it is using firmware
[18:40] <csemple> hey Tech-1
[18:41] <Areckx> you may need to use a different firmware on 12.04 for it to work
[18:41] <csemple> lemme check a thumb drive one sec
[18:41] <Areckx> besides the one that is packaged with your sd card reader
[18:41] <Tech-1> i have a eee also, and i havent put 12 on it yet, just wondering
[18:41] <Areckx> if that makes any sense
[18:41] <csemple> in the meantime here is the output of dmesg
[18:41] <csemple> http://pastebin.com/uvshWWeV
[18:42] <Areckx> Tech-1 as well as any others with that card reader may benefit from you figuring out how to run it on 10.04
[18:42] <Tech-1> csemple>  is there a switch in bios for them ?
[18:42] <nabn> this is what i get when i try to install g++ : Depends: g++-4.7 (>= 4.7.0-1~) but it is not going to be installed
[18:42] <Areckx> 12.04**
[18:42] <nabn> what do i do to fix this?
[18:42] <csemple> thumb drive does not work
[18:42] <Tech-1> ahha
[18:43] <nabn> i am running ubuntu 12.10 x64
[18:43] <sabrina> I have installed ubuntu 12.10 on my laptop. I have problems with the audio device! Can anyone help me?
[18:43] <csemple> Tech-1, I checked bios
[18:43] <csemple> I never went into bios after upgrading
[18:43] <csemple> or before
[18:43] <Tech-1> mine is a asus, and it has a usb switch in it, interesting
[18:44] <csemple> usb switch huh
[18:44] <yeats> csemple: seen this?: http://askubuntu.com/a/150891
[18:44] <braddcadd_> just restored home folder on my fresh install, how do i get evolution to look at my old config?
[18:44] <Tech-1> ya, weird
[18:44] <ofcan> hello! I have 'unmet dependency' problem, can you please take a look, here's the code & everything, any help is awesome > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14006157/postgresql-9-1-dependency-issue
[18:44] <Tech-1> csemple>  is your system using mate ?
[18:45] <sabrina> I have installed ubuntu 12.10 on my laptop. I have problems with the audio device! Can anyone help me? My laptop is an Asus A6 Va
[18:45] <csemple> Tech-1, I don't know what mate is
[18:45] <Tech-1> its a gnome 2 fork kinda thing
[18:45] <csemple> Tech-1, I installed ubuntu using a usb cdrom drive lol
[18:45] <Tech-1> same here
[18:45] <Tech-1> unetbootin
[18:45] <csemple> Tech-1, I never needed unetbootin
[18:46] <yeats> ofcan: have you tried removing the ppa?
[18:46] <Tech-1> i didnt use an externas cd
[18:46] <csemple> it was a cdrom drive that plugs into the usb
[18:46] <yeats> !ppapurge | ofcan
[18:46] <Tech-1> usb drive
[18:46] <csemple> I wonder if that works now
[18:46] <Tech-1> try it
[18:46] <yeats> !ppa-purge | ofcan
[18:46] <csemple> yeats, thanks
[18:46] <Tech-1> maybe your fstab needs to see them ?
[18:47] <csemple> I don't know how to do that Tech-1
[18:47] <ofcan> ubottu: ok, but I cannot install ppa-purge
[18:47] <Tech-1> i have a full house of company here, either ask and wait or google ubuntu fstab
[18:47] <ofcan> yeats: returns the same error :)
[18:47] <csemple> gonna try this http://askubuntu.com/questions/95391/how-do-i-mount-an-sd-card/150891#150891
[18:48] <Greg8823> Hello I am running 12.04 on a emachine desktop it is fully updated and i have gone though the sound trouble shooting help.ubuntu.com and still have no working sound. any help would be apreciated
[18:48] <Greg8823> at help.ubuntu.com*
[18:49] <yeats> ofcan: try 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get -f install'
[18:49] <ofcan> yeats: returns the same
[18:49] <yeats> !fstab | csemple
[18:50] <yeats> ofcan: ok - how about trying to remove the postgres packages?
[18:50] <yeats> ofcan: your data will be safe btw
[18:50] <ofcan> tried 'sudo apt-get remove postgresql' but still get the same error...
[18:52] <mallet`> Does anyone know if virtualboxes.org is reliable?
[18:54] <csemple> I just thought of something, yeats Tech-1 I may have installed the 64 bit version of ubuntu to this machine, and I can probably get away with just the 32 bit version (only 1gb ram on it)
[18:54] <yeats> ofcan: this is a pretty thorough guide to this kind of thing - I would step through it before trying anything else: http://askubuntu.com/a/142808
[18:54] <csemple> how do I check if this is a 64 bit install or a 32 bit os ?
[18:54] <Tech-1> ya, stick with the 32 bit
[18:54] <yeats> csemple: uname -a
[18:54] <Tech-1> i was gonna ask you that
[18:55] <yeats> csemple: that shouldn't matter for your issue though IMHO
[18:55] <csemple> Linux csemple-1000HE 3.2.0-35-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 5 17:45:18 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[18:55] <csemple> 64 bit ? ^
[18:55] <yeats> csemple: that's 32 bit
[18:55] <csemple> yeats, oh k
[18:55] <csemple> yeats, did you see my pastbin on the output of dmesg ?
[18:56] <Areckx> Here is a screenshot fo my error. http://i.imgur.com/5d8C2.png

[18:58] <Greg8823> Hello I am running an emachine desktop with 12.04 64x it is fully updated and i have gone though the sound trouble shooting on help.ubuntu.com and still have no working sound. any help would be appreciated. it recognizes my sound card and both sound ports when i use the aplay -l command. i have also uninstalled and reinstalled the offical ubuntu ones.
[18:58] <Greg8823> drivers
[18:58] <alimj> Hello everyone. I would require a Download Manager similar to FreeDownLoadManager (Win32) or getright. But I like it to be GPL, daemonizable, With Web interface Control. I do not require torrent (already have transmission-daemon). Any suggestion?
[18:59] <unXddse> Has anyone an idea how to relocate the same package twice in mavneß
[18:59] <yeats> csemple: have you tried running a live CD to see if the SD card reader works then?  the google is indicating a hardware issue when those "device descriptor read/64, error -71" messages are present
[19:00] <ofcan> yeats: I followed instructions from exactly that guide! I still get the same error. I removed postgres ppa and installed ppa-purge with that 'mkdir ppa...' command.
[19:00] <csemple> yeats, interesting I've tried these sd cards and usb sticks in another machine, and they work fine I will double check, and I will check if it works on a live-cd also,
[19:01] <ikonia> ofcan: maybe stop asking in two channels with conflicting information and focus on one solution to the end
[19:01] <cliftonts> evening all. Anybody have any idea why the python command 'from serial.tools import list_ports' is producing the error 'ImportError: No module named tools'?
[19:02] <yeats> cliftonts: you should ask in #python
[19:02] <cliftonts> I can't, it kicks me out into a room that rejects my messages
[19:02] <knxville> cliftonts, register to netserv
[19:03] <ikonia> cliftonts: you need to register
[19:03] <ikonia> !register > cliftonts
[19:03] <knxville> nickserv
[19:03] <ikonia> cliftonts: ubottu has just sent you a pm detailing how to register, also the #freenode channel can help you
[19:03] <cliftonts> I'm getting a headache fast. Is there no way to find out the answer to a simple question without filling out forms in triplicate?
[19:03] <srhb> cliftonts: Registering is fairly easy.
[19:04] <csemple> yeats, ok fyi the card works perfect in my other machine
[19:04] <csemple> let me try a live cd now
[19:04] <ikonia> cliftonts: no
[19:04] <cliftonts> I've just spent an hour banging my head against the screen, picking my nose would be a challenge right now!
[19:04] <yeats> csemple: then I would suspect the SD slot has a problem
[19:04] <ikonia> cliftonts: log off and approach it later when you are feeling better
[19:04] <cliftonts> not going to happen
[19:05] <ikonia> cliftonts: then you're a bit stuck, sorry
[19:05] <knxville> cliftonts, im no python expert at all..
[19:05] <knxville> but have you tried serial.tools.list_ports
[19:05] <cliftonts> As far as I can tell everything is installed correctly
[19:06] <csemple> yeats, well before I recently (2 weeks ago) upgraded from ubuntu 10.04, it was working fine
[19:06] <csemple> we used it all the time
[19:06] <cliftonts> knxville: I'm not sure how I could use the command like that
[19:06] <knxville> cliftonts, import serial.tools.list_ports
[19:06] <csemple> usb thumb drives worked also
[19:06] <yeats> csemple: hardware can go bad at any time
[19:07] <csemple> its strange, the usb slots work for mouses and accessories, but not a thumb drive
[19:07] <yeats> csemple: but that would be ruled out if it works with a livecd
[19:07] <srhb> cliftonts: How did you install pyserial?
[19:07] <csemple> right, so I will try that yeats and get back to you
[19:07] <cliftonts> It was already installed
[19:08] <csemple> I have to go for a drive unfortunately but I will try it asap
[19:15] <Greg8823> Hello I am running an emachine desktop with 12.04 64x it is fully updated and i have gone though the sound trouble shooting on help.ubuntu.com and still have no working sound. any help would be appreciated. it recognizes my sound card and both sound ports when i use the aplay -l command. i have also uninstalled and reinstalled the offical ubuntu drivers.
[19:16] <jaime> refox!!
[19:16] <jaime> need help with flash and firefox!!
[19:16] <jaime> anybody!!?
[19:17] <InspectorCluseau> jaime, try #firefox
[19:18] <jaime> i tried everything and cant get flash to work in firefox
[19:18] <Greg8823> jamie> you can try the "ubuntu resticted extras" in the software center. it worked for me
[19:20] <srhb> Greg8823: Did you have sound when using aplay?
[19:20] <jaime> i will give it a go!! thank yous
[19:20] <Greg8823> no, i haven't been able to get any sound at all
[19:21] <srhb> Greg8823: On neither output?
[19:21] <srhb> Greg8823: If one of the cards listed is indeed the card you want to be using, I would guess that the wrong default card has been set.
[19:22] <Greg8823> there is only one card, its the motherboard soundcard. Neither output is working though
[19:23] <srhb> Greg8823: What does cat /proc/asound/modules yield?
[19:25] <Greg8823> 0 snd_hda_intel
[19:25] <srhb> Greg8823: Sounds like the right one. Have you checked alsamixer settings to make sure it's turned up and not muted? sorry if that seems like a trivial question. :-)
[19:26] <jaime> restricted extras hasnt worked either
[19:26] <alimj> Asking again -- I need a GPL Download Manager for FTP, HTTP, HTTPS downloads (Do not really require P2P). It should have CLI, GUI, WEB and should be daemonizable (run as service). It should support scheduling (via itself or cron). What is your recommendation? p.s. it should be well maintained under Ubuntu.
[19:28] <Greg8823> do you mean the sound setting in the system setting? then no its not muted.
[19:28] <skp1> NO ALSAMIXER
[19:28] <srhb> Greg8823: I mean use the "alsamixer" tool from the command line
[19:28] <srhb> Greg8823: Make sure to go all the way to the right, and watch for mute (MM) on things like Master, PCM, preamp etc.
[19:29] <Greg8823> its all at 100
[19:30] <srhb> Greg8823: And no muted indicators in the bottom? (should say 00, not MM)
[19:30] <alimj> It appears that no one use any Download Manager these days! Either all of you are wget lovers, or your speed are so fast that no download manager is required!!! =-O
[19:30] <srhb> alimj: Yes and yes. :P
[19:31] <nabn> alimj: i think axel is quite handy now and then
[19:31] <Greg8823> line says mm and the front mic and rear mic say the same
[19:32] <srhb> Greg8823: I've no idea then. Go ahead and reask your question, perhaps someone else has an idea.
[19:32] <alimj> nabn: Thanks for the hint. Will look to that.
[19:33] <nabn> alimj: sure. but it hasn't got all of the features that you described. Its the closest i got to idm experience on linux
[19:33] <Greg8823> srhb: how do you unmute in alsa though, just in case i need it in the future?
[19:34] <nabn> asking again- i am stuck here: g++ : Depends: g++-4.7 (>= 4.7.0-1~) but it is not going to be installed
[19:34] <nabn> why doesn't 12.10 come with g++ pre-installed?
[19:34] <srhb> Greg8823: M
[19:35] <Greg8823> srbh:alright thanks for your help
[19:35] <srhb> Greg8823: One more thing though, have you tried plugging headphones in?
[19:37] <Greg8823> srhb: Yeah, im using headphone to check that i know work
[19:37] <srhb> nabn: Difficult question to answer, since default package choices is a matter of philosophy. The answer is something like "because people didn't think it would matter for standard users."

[19:38] <uosiu> Hi all
[19:38] <uosiu> I have nexus 7 and nexus 4 and I'm trying to get MTP connection working
[19:38] <uosiu> I can see remote directory structure, but ls shows zero file size and I can't do any operations except listing
[19:38] <konam> where is the xorg config file on 12.10?
[19:39] <nabn> srhb: sure. any idea how to get it to install though? i wanna install RoR but i am stuck on g++. it says: g++ : Depends: g++-4.7 (>= 4.7.0-1~) but it is not going to be installed
[19:39] <ikonia> konam: doesn't eixst
[19:39] <konam> i want to lock the resolution of a second screen
[19:39] <ikonia> uosiu: not sure how this links to ubuntu
[19:39] <ikonia> nabn: are you using a PPA/3rd party repo
[19:39] <konam> ikonia how would i go about fixing the resolution of a second screen?
[19:39] <uosiu> ikonia: I can't get working MTP file transfer on ubuntu 12.10
[19:39] <ikonia> uosiu: on your nexus ?
[19:39] <Syncsys__> Clueless problem . Trying to share files in windows and Linux. works OK in a WiFi router connected to a DSL. slow thought but OK.
[19:39] <Syncsys__> When I try to make a hot spot between the computers or use wires with a separate switch, either I cant see share folders. (I can ping each other and even see a webpage running on Linux machine) and some times when I do see folders and try to copy files that are large, it breaks down in middle and the folders disappear again (both in hot spot case and in Lan).
[19:39] <uosiu> ikonia: Nexus ←→ Ubuntu
[19:39] <nabn> ikonia: yes. most probably. i am using local server for nepal. Does that matter?
[19:40] <ikonia> konam: you'll have to make an xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[19:40] <ikonia> uosiu: try #ubuntu-arm, the arm build for nexus is experimental
[19:40] <ikonia> nabn: is it a PPA ? or a 3rd party server, or an official ubuntu mirror ?
[19:40] <uosiu> ikonia: I don't have Ubuntu on nexus. I have ubuntu on my PC
[19:40] <ikonia> uosiu: ooh, I see
[19:40] <Guest95138> hi
[19:41] <nabn> ikonia: pretty sure its an official ubuntu mirror. its listed by default on software sources
[19:41] <konam> ikonia i don't know how to create a xorg file, at most i just tweak one that is already created there, and that has always been the case :/
[19:41] <ikonia> nabn: what package are you trying to install
[19:41] <ikonia> konam: xorg -configure, or get an example off the net
[19:41] <nabn> ikonia: g++ to start with
[19:41] <ikonia> nabn: what version does it say you are trying to install
[19:42] <ikonia> !info nabn
[19:42] <ikonia> oops
[19:42] <nabn> ikonia:  g++ : Depends: g++-4.7 (>= 4.7.0-1~) but it is not going to be installed
[19:42] <ikonia> !info g++
[19:42] <konam> ikonia but if a file doesn't exist for xorg config, creating one woudln't introduce some other issues?
[19:42] <ikonia> nabn: ok, so you're using 12.10 ?
[19:42] <nabn> ikonia: yes
[19:42] <ikonia> konam: no, as it's dynamic, it only reads what you put in it
[19:42] <Greg8823> Hello I am running an emachine desktop with 12.04 64x it is fully updated, i am using the motherboard sound card and i have gone though the sound trouble shooting on help.ubuntu.com and still have no working sound. any help would be appreciated. it recognizes my sound card and both sound ports when i use the aplay -l command. i have also uninstalled and reinstalled the offical ubuntu drivers. I have checked the alsamixer setti
[19:43] <ikonia> nabn: ok, so if you look <IP_ADDRESS> is the current version, check if that's the version on your mirror
[19:44] <joako> I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 but I can not get online. I can not even ping localhost. ifconfig shows I am getting an IP from the dhcp server.
[19:45] <nabn> ikonia: stupid question: how do i do that?
[19:46] <CrazyZurfer> Any body knows a good sniffer for ubuntu? something like wireshark, the problem with that one is that it's only for windows and Mac S:
[19:46] <CrazyZurfer> :S
[19:46] <sqrt> h
[19:47] <ikonia> nabn: apt-cache policy
[19:47] <OerHeks> !info wireshark
[19:47] <ikonia> CrazyZurfer: tcpdump, snoop
[19:47] <srhb> CrazyZurfer: ie. it is not only for OS X/Windows
[19:47] <nabn> ikonia: apt-cache policy | grep g++ returns zero results
[19:48] <Chucrute301> Apt-get install xvideos4ubuntu
[19:48] <csemple> yeats, I am back, going to try the sd card on a live cd
[19:48] <ikonia> nabn: man apt-cache rather than just typing blind
[19:48] <Syncsys__> what do i need to make an ftp server?
[19:48] <ikonia> Syncsys__: an ftp daemon, that's it
[19:48] <ikonia> Syncsys__: vsftpd is the most common used one
[19:48] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  which on is the easiest?
[19:49] <ikonia> may as well use the most common one as it's going to have more documentation
[19:49] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  A gui would be nicer.. is there a filezilla version as filezilla client is available?
[19:50] <ikonia> Syncsys__: filezilla is a client, not a server
[19:50] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  I thought it has a server too?
[19:50] <ikonia> Syncsys__: vsftpd is pretty much two lines in a text file, if you can't do that, it's unwise to try to run an xserver
[19:50] <srhb> ikonia, Syncsys__: It does.
[19:50] <Syncsys__> srhb,  by what package name>
[19:50] <joako> What steps must be carried out to enable networking in Ubuntu?
[19:51] <ikonia> joako: it's enabled by default
[19:51] <Syncsys__> srhb, I never found it in package search
[19:51] <srhb> Syncsys__: Sorry, I did not mean to imply the server part exists for Ubuntu
[19:51] <srhb> Just that it exists. :)
[19:51] <joako> ikonia: I Have installed Ubuntu 12.04 and I get an IP address from the DHCP server, but I can not ping anything.
[19:52] <ikonia> joako: ping does not mean a thing
[19:52] <ikonia> joako: can you browse the web ? chat on IRC etc
[19:52] <srhb> Not being able to ping localhost does mean something
[19:52] <joako> ikonia: When I run apt-get it fails to connect and download the software.
[19:53] <joako> srhb: I disabled the firewall and rebooted now I can ping localhost
[19:53] <ikonia> joako: what is the error
[19:53] <ikonia> the firewall doesn't block localhost
[19:53] <srhb> Sounds very odd.
[19:54] <joako> ANd if I can ping the router from another computer, why shouldn´t that work from Ubuntu?
[19:54] <joako> My /etc/resolv.conf has the nameserver as <IP_ADDRESS>!
[19:55] <ikonia> joako: that's not a problem
[19:56] <ikonia> joako: please show me the output of "netstat -rn" on your machine

[19:57] <IdleOne> ctrl-alt-F1
[19:57] <srhb> stephans_: ctrl+alt+F1
[19:58] <ikonia> lime__: not really, just what your client/server supports

[19:58] <dcherniv> Guest20463, what is the model, pastebin lsusb output
[19:59] <joako> ikonia: When I issue the command ¨route¨ it shows the correct default gateway
[19:59] <ikonia> joako: not what I asked you to do
[19:59] <Guest20463> dcherniv, its a acer eeepc 1000
[19:59] <Guest20463> the sd reader was working with ubuntu 10.04
[20:00] <joako> ikonia: The system´s not in front of me so that´s the best I have for a few minutes
[20:00] <ikonia> joako: that makes no sense
[20:00] <ikonia> joako: if you can type "route" - you can type netstat
[20:00] <dcherniv> Guest20463, yes pastebin the output of lsusb command
[20:00] <joako> ikonia: I type netstat -rn and I see the routes. I already have a picture showing the output of the ¨route¨ command
[20:01] <yeats> Guest20463: that indicates that the problem is with the sd reader, not the OS
[20:01] <lime__> ikonia: I have access to the client and there are both running ubuntu, so I was looking for another type of compression that might be faster.  Or maybe other techniques when working on a dial up connection.
[20:01] <stephans_> srhb the F key do not work.
[20:02] <ikonia> lime__: sounds silly, but not using X11 would be a start
[20:02] <stephans_> I installed on a mac mini
[20:02] <lime__> It isn't as slow as dial up but assumed someone has run into similar issues before.
[20:03] <ikonia> lime__: the point still stands,

[20:08] <dcherniv> ICU, whats the erorr?
[20:09] <ikonia> joako: so you are unable to ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:09] <joako> ikonia: correct.

[20:09] <ICU> wine1.4: PreDepends: dpkg (>= <IP_ADDRESS>~) but 1.16.7ubuntu6 is to be installed
[20:09] <ICU>          Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) but 2.15-0ubuntu20 is to be installed
[20:09] <ICU>          Depends: wine1.4-amd64 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu1) but 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[20:09] <ICU>          Depends: wine1.4-i386 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
[20:09] <Guest20463> yeats, I am on a 12.04 live cd
[20:09] <FloodBot1> ICU: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:09] <dcherniv> ICU, can you pastebin the output of sudo apt-get install wine
[20:09] <Guest20463> and it does not work
[20:10] <ICU> ok
[20:10] <Guest20463> dcherniv, working on the pastebin one sec
[20:10] <SquareOne> happy holidays everyone!
[20:10] <joako> ikonia: <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:10] <dcherniv> ICU, sounds like you're using third party repository
[20:10] <[NGW]> I have Windows 8 installed on my primary hard drive and want to install Ubuntu 12.10 on my secondary hard drive. How can I do this? It only gives me an option to format and install to the primary drive. I am not sure how to set it up manually, and would prefer not to.
[20:11] <ikonia> joako: how are you verifying that ?
[20:11] <ikonia> [NGW]: you have just said that less than 60 seconds ago
[20:11] <Guest20463> dcherniv, http://pastebin.com/4ZwKP1MC
[20:11] <joako> ikonia: ¨Ifconfig¨ command
[20:11] <yeats> [NGW]: so the installer doesn't see the second drive?
[20:11] <Guest20463> output of lsusb
[20:11] <dcherniv> ICU, also run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade before installing wine
[20:13] <ikonia> joako: ok, first things first, is the firewall on your machine disabled ?
[20:13] <joako> ikonia: I disabled it but I am not sure if after rebooting it will stay disabled
[20:13] <ikonia> joako: stop it again to make sure
[20:13] <Guest20463> yeats, I am going to switch over to the 10.04 live cd to prove that the sd reader is working and its not a hardware problem.
[20:13] <Guest20463> brb
[20:14] <dcherniv> Guest20463, hm, pastebin lsusb -v, also pastebin lspci
[20:14] <pecorade> Hi.
[20:14] <Anom01y> dcherniv, hi
[20:14] <Anom01y> its me Guestt20463
[20:14] <Anom01y> Ive just rebooted the laptop dcherniv
[20:15] <yeats> Anom01y: try and stick with a single nick - it's less confusing :-/
[20:15] <Anom01y> yeats, yeah sorry, this is my main machine I will make a similar nick when I re-boot the laptop
[20:15] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  i have setup vsftpd and is runing. but when i enter ftp://ipOfLinuxMachine it doesnot take me there
[20:16] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  iam in windows 7
[20:16] <joako> ikonia, Is the correct command: ufw disable?
[20:16] <ikonia> Syncsys__: where does it take you
[20:16] <ikonia> joako: lets do it a bit more agressive "sudo iptables -F"
[20:17] <dcherniv> Anom01y, pastebin lsusb -v and lspci, cant tell the model from lsusb
[20:17] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  no where
[20:17] <Anom01y> dcherniv, ok I will I am booting the computer off an older live cd to prove that the sd reader is working and that the problem is in ubuntu 12.04
[20:17] <Anom01y> because when we had ubuntu 10.04 installed on the computer, the sd reader worked fine
[20:18] <psichas> what is default w3m's folder for downloads?
[20:21] <joako> ikonia: ¨destination unreachable¨ when I try to ping defaut gw
[20:21] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  i just typed ftp://<IP_ADDRESS>   on the linux machine where vsftp is installed. and i am able to see the folders after giving credentials. but when I try the same addres from a windows 7 machine (which can ping <IP_ADDRESS> and gets reply) it does not take me anywhere
[20:21] <ikonia> Syncsys__: it must take you somewhere
[20:22] <ikonia> Syncsys__: have you started vsftpd
[20:22] <Syncsys__> it doesnt
[20:22] <ikonia> joako: this sounds stupid, but is your network card up
[20:22] <ikonia> Syncsys__: it doesn't what ?
[20:22] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  its restarted. yes
[20:22] <ikonia> Syncsys__: no, is it "started" is the vsftpd daemon running
[20:22] <ikonia> joako: basic stuff, eg: is there a green light on the network card, does ifconfig show the interface as up
[20:23] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  thats how i get folders on the same machine when i type ftp://<IP_ADDRESS>
[20:23] <ikonia> Syncsys__: please stop telling me that and answer the question
[20:23] <ikonia> Syncsys__: is the vsftpd daemon running
[20:23] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  service vsftpd status shows me runing
[20:23] <ikonia> Syncsys__: right
[20:23] <ikonia> Syncsys__: so the firewall is probably blocking it
[20:23] <ikonia> Syncsys__: disable ufw
[20:23] <Sheikhmak> hey guys I usually run x11vnc at a custom port, but notice of late that, it also runs on 5900, how do I stop it from doing that
[20:23] <joako> ikonia: Ifconfig shows ¨UP¨ and yes everything should be working I had openSUSE installed and the network was working fine. The moment I installed Ubuntu the network failed.
[20:23] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  firewall in linux box?
[20:24] <ikonia> Syncsys__: correct
[20:24] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  is firewall enabled even if i never installed one?
[20:24] <ikonia> Syncsys__: yes
[20:24] <ikonia> joako: ok, this is interesting
[20:24] <sabrina> I have installed ubuntu 12.10 on my laptop. I have problems with the audio device! Can anyone help me? My laptop is an Asus A6 Va
[20:24] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  i have an apache server runing too and serving people. it never cause a firewalll isue. strange. but let me see
[20:25] <ikonia> Syncsys__: port 80 is a trusted port
[20:25] <ikonia> joako: what model network card is this ?
[20:27] <SolarisBoy> is it udev responsible for mounting USB devices on insertion ? it seems to get mounted with the volume label as the mount point - i wanted to test a rule and i believe thats conflicting - is there any way to know what rule that is?
[20:28] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  added 20,21 in firestarter inbound
[20:28] <ikonia> Syncsys__: firestarter ?
[20:28] <ikonia> Syncsys__: firestarter isn't the default ubuntu firewall
[20:29] <vano> open firefox
[20:29] <TheLordOfTime> ikonia, i betcha he is using firestarter instead of ufw/gufw
[20:29] <vano> internet
[20:29] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  its not default but I have it
[20:30] <ikonia> TheLordOfTime: he said he hadn't installer a firewall.....so I doubt that
[20:30] <vano> open internet
[20:30] <ikonia> Syncsys__: so when I asked you and you said "even if I've not installed one"....you just lied
[20:30] <ikonia> you have installed on
[20:30] <ikonia> one
[20:30] <ikonia> 20:24 < Syncsys__> ikonia,  is firewall enabled even if i never installed one?
[20:30] <Syncsys__> ikonia, I just installed it
[20:30] <ikonia> Syncsys__: why ?
[20:30] <Syncsys__> to change/ allow ports
[20:31] <ikonia> Syncsys__: why would you install ANOTHER firewall when I've just told you the default one is probably blocking it
[20:31] <Syncsys__> as i dont know ip tables commands
[20:31] <ikonia> then ASK
[20:31] <ikonia> if you don't konw ASK
[20:31] <TheLordOfTime> Syncsys__, ASK dude, when you don't know something ASK.
[20:31] <Anom01y_2> yeats, ok
[20:31] <ikonia> !ufw | Syncsys__
[20:31] <Anom01y_2> I've narrowed this down pretty good
[20:31] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  iam on old kubuntu system where I never saw a defualt firewall. and i only know of firestarter
[20:31] <Syncsys__> so i installed it
[20:31] <Anom01y_2> I have the same issue with ubuntu 10.04 as 12.04 I am sorry for assuming that it wouldn't
[20:31] <Syncsys__> and i only like firestarter. my personal choice
[20:31] <Syncsys__> does the work.
[20:31] <Syncsys__> same as any other.
[20:31] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  ok?
[20:32] <Jerub> hi, my brother is thinking about getting a samsung galaxy s3, and he's wanting to make sure that he can sync music from ubuntu with it. I think he uses ubuntu one's music thingie to buy music.
[20:32] <ikonia> Syncsys__: you're on your own
[20:32] <ikonia> Syncsys__: if you know better.....you should be able to debug/fix this
[20:32] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  no. the are nice people here, iam not alone
[20:32] <Jerub> does anyone know if it will sync okay?
[20:33] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  thank you
[20:33] <ikonia> Syncsys__: no problem then, good luck
[20:34] <tomthegreat> Hello
[20:35] <Anom01y> yeats, ok I solved the problem sort of (it looks like you are right the sd reader just isnt working anymore for anything)
[20:35] <Anom01y> ubuntu 10.04, ubuntu 12.04, neither of them work with the sd reader
[20:35] <yeats> Anom01y: I figured it had to be the hardware
[20:35] <Anom01y> so I am using an adapter (sd to usb) and that works fine, the usb ports seem ok
[20:36] <Anom01y> time for a new computer soon I think
[20:36] <Anom01y> hopefully ubuntu works fine with a newer computer
[20:36] <Mari> !list
[20:38] <Jerub> is it posisble to sync music from ubuntu onto an android phone?
[20:39] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  its working with filezilla client on windows. i think the windows explorer is not good with ftp
[20:39] <FlowRiser> Jerub, yes, you can write your own java syncer ;)
[20:39] <ikonia> Syncsys__: no you don't think that, you've just been told that in ##networking 3 times before you'd listen
[20:39] <ikonia> Syncsys__: please don't lie
[20:40] <Jerub> FlowRiser: um, can you be more specific?
[20:40] <Syncsys__> yes. when did i said i dreamed about filezilla.
[20:40] <Jerub> is the answer no?
[20:40] <Syncsys__> ikonia, ^
[20:41] <FlowRiser> Jerub, android apps are written in java, it's not hard to serial write in java or to check for files, so you can write your own application to sync whatever files you like
[20:41] <ikonia> Syncsys__: no-one said anything about dreaming
[20:41] <Jerub> FlowRiser: i mean, can i plug in my android phone and sync music from an ubuntu install to my phone.
[20:42] <Taint> why when I go to download ubuntu it recommends 32 bit? I have a 64 bit system
[20:42] <Syncsys__> ikonia,  i put it that way that I knew how to ask and fulcan in ##networking new how to guide..
[20:42] <FlowRiser> Jerub, yes, that was my point. Also, if you are lazy to code your own stuff, you can use ubuntu One
[20:42] <Jerub> FlowRiser: i believe he is using ubuntu one
[20:42] <Jerub> does that work on android?
[20:43] <FlowRiser> it should've
[20:43] <juggle> hi
[20:43] <FlowRiser> never quite tested it
[20:43] <FlowRiser> juggle, hi
[20:43] <juggle> how to start oracle as a service
[20:43] <kostkon> Jerub, yes https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.subsonic.u1m&feature=nav_other
[20:44] <juggle> i installed oracle 11g r2 on my user on ubuntu
[20:45] <Anom01y> yeats, strange how a card reader could just fry like that
[20:46] <Freeaqingme> Where would you put directories that can be used as root by LXC containers? In /srv, /var ?
[20:47] <Flannel> Taint: Canonical thinks its safer to recommend 32bit for everyone.  You can get the 64bit version, and it'll work fine.
[20:48] <Taint> Thats what I've been using and had no troubles, but I'm just getting started with it
[20:48] <Taint> @flannel thx
[20:49] <Jerub> okay, now what about just copying files to the phone from ubuntu using MPT, is that possible? last i heard it was quite hard to do.
[20:49] <Taint> I have a good gfx card but ubuntu doesn't see it, just sees it as generic VGA or whatever. How do I install correct nvidia drivers for it?
[20:50] <ICU> hello , i am new with ubuntu . I am having a problem with installing wine, can anyone help me pls
[20:50] <TheLordOfTime> ICU, sudo apt-get install wine
[20:50] <TheLordOfTime> then you're done.
[20:51] <ICU> it give;s me an eror
[20:51] <yeats> ICU: can you pastebin the error?
[20:51] <lws> What the heck..
[20:51] <lws> "The disk drive for /tmp is not ready yet or not present."
[20:51] <lws> ?????
[20:51] <ICU> yes

[20:55] <Taint> nvidia drivers in ubuntu help?
[20:55] <ICU> did you get the problem?
[20:55] <yeats> ICU: are you not able to use a pastebin?
[20:56] <yeats> !nvidia | Taint
[20:57] <Taint> ty yeats
[20:57] <guest123> hi there
[20:58] <Taint> jeez this looks complicated for just installing a driver...
[20:58] <ICU> http://pastebin.com/wizB5zsR  like this?
[20:58] <yeats> Taint: can you provide details about your problem?
[20:58] <yeats> ICU: yep
[20:59] <Taint> oh no prob yet yeats, just looking into installing correct up to date nvidia drivers
[20:59] <yeats> ICU: can you try 'sudo apt-get update', then 'sudo apt-get -f install'?
[20:59] <ICU> yes
[20:59] <yeats> Taint: you've tried 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current'?
[21:00] <Taint> not yet but I will. I'm about to fire up ubuntu in a few after reading all this
[21:00] <ICU> yeats did yhat
[21:01] <yeats> ICU: okay, so did it work?
[21:01] <vexati0n> hey i need some help with a gamepad in Ubuntu 12.10
[21:01] <ICU> yeats, 0 updates , 0 .......
[21:02] <guest123> hi there
[21:02] <vexati0n> i've got 2 different gamepads, and they work except when configuring any emulators, they all think i'm holding down the J19 button, which doesn't actually exist on these controllers.
[21:02] <yeats> ICU: that's not really telling me anything... can you do another paste of the output (at pastebin.com)?
[21:03] <ICU> yeats, http://pastebin.com/G4CygSw7
[21:04] <Taint> looks like this is gonna work yeats. will updates for this be included when I do my usual updates?
[21:04] <yeats> Taint: if you install via apt-get, yes
[21:05] <vexati0n> ugh. you know the failure of Open Source is that if you have a problem, there's no one you can call. At least with paid proprietary software, there are people whose job it is to give a F*.
[21:05] <yeats> ICU: can you pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy wine'?
[21:05] <joako_> How can I show all the packages in a repository?
[21:05] <yeats> vexati0n: you can find paid support for open source software - many companies would love to take your money for that
[21:05] <Taint> yeats it didn't say its finished but now just says my user @ubuntu
[21:06] <Taint> think it installed correctly?
[21:06] <yeats> Taint: if it didn't give you an error and just returned to the prompt, that means "success"
[21:06] <ICU> yeats, http://pastebin.com/cm0rkGBJ
[21:06] <guntbert> vexati0n: apart from being off topic here your statement is plainly wrong
[21:07] <Taint> great. thx yeats. said something about not finding kernal source but other than that I think it worked..
[21:08] <yeats> Taint: can you pastebin the messages you're talking about?
[21:08] <Taint> yes doing it right now
[21:08] <psilo23> Hi everyone, i am currently behind a proxy at uni campus, i am trying to get my laptop to tunnel the connection of my xbox 360 through a ssh tunnel, anyone have an idea how to do that ?
[21:09] <psilo23> i connected my xbox to my laptop using a rj45 cable now i think the best way is just to use wifi and setup a ssh tunnel to tunnel the connections, but im not sure how to do that hehehe
[21:09] <yeats> ICU: what happens when you do 'sudo apt-get install wine1.5'?
[21:09] <Taint> yeats: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1460418/
[21:09] <ICU> yeats, the same problem
[21:10] <ICU> yeats, http://pastebin.com/R49XGpN2
[21:11] <yeats> ICU: I would try 'sudo apt-get clean' then 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get install wine1.5'
[21:11] <ICU> ok
[21:11] <yeats> ICU: either that or disable the Wine PPA and just install the Ubuntu repo version
[21:11] <yeats> t
[21:12] <yeats> Taint: I would actually assume that it didn't work since the messages say it skipped installing the module in the current kernel
[21:12] <Taint> damn
[21:12] <Taint> any suggestions?
[21:13] <Taint> is it because I'm using it in vmware?
[21:14] <yeats> Taint: well that would certainly affect the way drivers work - I don't use vmware, though so I can't advise
[21:14] <yeats> Taint: you could try asking in #vmware
[21:14] <Taint> ok thx
[21:18] <ztgu> hi
[21:18] <next2u2008> hello
[21:18] <ztgu> Is there anyone out there who can help me with my linux partitioning?
[21:19] <srhb> ztgu: What do you want to know?
[21:19] <litropy> Hi, all - I'm ssh'ed into my Ubuntu box using a machine that's on the same network. I just want to enable remote desktop, please.
[21:20] <Septima> litropy: why not just use something like realvnc
[21:20] <srhb> litropy: ssh in with -X and launch vino-preferences
[21:20] <khanfused> I'm playing around w/the 12.10 live USB pending an erase-and-reinstall of my main system ... (confirming that drivers, etc. work and unity won't send me over the edge :-D  ). short of erasing the USB and reloading the contents is there a way to quickly clear all of my changes, configuration shifts, etc. from the persistence storage? I think I did something strange w/nvidia drivers and want to roll back
[21:21] <Septima> live usbs write persistently?
[21:22] <khanfused> they can if you set them that way during creation
[21:22] <litropy> srhb: not sure what you're suggesting. I don't know what -X, and I don't have a monitor attached to the Ubuntu box.
[21:22] <Septima> khanfused: my best suggestion would be to erase it and reload the contents
[21:23] <khanfused> the USB creator has an option to store settings and docs into another partition in the stick
[21:23] <Septima> oh
[21:23] <Septima> well can't you just delete the contents of that partition then?
[21:23] <litropy> srhb: Oh! It enables X11 forwarding! Interesting...
[21:23] <khanfused> I was curious about that ...
[21:24] <Septima> khanfused: be worth a try
[21:24] <psyg> #connect irc.freenode.net

[21:25] <guntbert> !de | crenberry
[21:25] <khanfused> septima... I'd hoped that there was a simple setting .... either in the shell or during reboot... that would let me flush the contents.
[21:25] <SolarisBoy> anyone know which udev rule is responsible for mounting usb-storage devs by label?
[21:25] <crenberry> thx
[21:25] <ituvox> Hello, I'm having trouble getting the scanner in my epson multifunction tx133 printer to work. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, and the printer works fine. I've tried installing iscan and other packages which usually work but it just hangs when trying to run it, until I unplug it. Could anyone help me with this?
[21:26] <SocialEvil> hi guys i have ubuntu 12.10 but for some reason when i start a program it is minimized. like when i have skype in to the tray, when i click 2 times, it doesnt open it, but minimize it at the bottom.. any idea how to "fix" it?
[21:27] <litropy> I'm $ssh -X #'ed into my remote machine, and I tried $vino-preferences #, but nothing happened. It just looks like it's open on the other end.
[21:28] <litropy> srhb^
[21:28] <guntbert> litropy: just for a check, run  xeyes remotely, do you see them on your monitor?
[21:30] <litropy> guntbert, ran xeyes on the Ubuntu box (from ssh session on this comp); no dice.
[21:30] <guntbert> litropy: did you get an error?

[21:34] <tnetennba> hi all, I used the 'dd' command to put a .img file in a usb drive. Now I want to format the pen and use it normally, how do I do that? Ubuntu can't mount it automatically.
[21:36] <hrolf> Hi #ubuntu, my taskbar (or gnome-bar) has freezed, how do I kill it and restart it? I cannot close or minimize any application. Please help.
[21:37] <MonkeyDust> hrolf  try killall gnome-panel
[21:38] <hrolf> MonkeyDust: Oops, sorry I think thiere is no gnome-panel, it is Unity.
[21:38] <hrolf> I have 12.04
[21:39] <hrolf> Actually I think it is the Launcher freezing
[21:41] <user82> hi. where do i start when my bluetooth does not work. lshw and lspi do not find any suitable device...but the "bluetooth" module in the kernel is loaded
[21:41] <RollinV2> hrolf are you keeping the system updated? unity has been updated to fix many stablity bugs since 12.04 released.
[21:41] <kinxer> Hello, Ubuntu. I'm finding myself unable to use my mouse after a fresh install from a Live USB. I'm able to use my mouse with the Live installation. Any ideas what's wrong?
[21:42] <user82> kinxer how is it connected?
[21:42] <user82> usb i suppose..you can check with "lsusb" if it is listed.
[21:43] <kinxer> DB9 connector, 82.
[21:44] <kinxer> As I mentioned, it works perfectly on the Live USB. It also works on my Windows partition.
[21:44] <syncer> hello
[21:44] <syncer> trying to install 12.04 to iscsi root
[21:45] <syncer> all seems to be fine
[21:45] <syncer> but on boot, system tries get ups from dhcp
[21:45] <guntbert> !enter | syncer
[21:45] <ztgu> Is there anyone here who can help me with my linux partitioning? I have a C:\ drive with 186 gb where my windows is stored. And I also have an D:\ drijve with 258 gb. But I don't know how this works in the ubuntu install. anyone with skills out there?
[21:45] <user82> hmh yeah..i understand kinxer. sorry cannot help with this connector
[21:45] <litropy> guntbert, I didn't realize until just now that I should do this within my X11 environment. I was able to launch vino-preferences remotely and enable remote desktop access, however I'm still getting an error (connection refused) when I try to remote in.
[21:45] <syncer> how to specific ip
[21:45] <syncer> ?
[21:45] <kinxer> Thanks anyway, 82. I appreciate the courtesy.
[21:46] <MonkeyDust> !partition > ztgu start here
[21:46] <syncer> set specific ups for specific interfaces statically
[21:46] <user82> good luck with that kinxer
[21:46] <syncer> ips*
[21:46] <kinxer> Thanks.
[21:47] <guntbert> litropy: lets get it straight please - you are currentlxy sitting in front fo computer (C)lient (X environment) and try to ssh -X into yur (S)erver
[21:47] <ztgu> MonkeyDust: no one in that channel
[21:47] <guntbert> !tab | kinxer
[21:48] <litropy> guntbert, correct. And I did. And I was able to launch vino-preferences.
[21:48] <MonkeyDust> ztgu  it's a webpage you can open, not a channel
[21:48] <guntbert> litropy: ok, so what is the problem now?
[21:48] <kinxer> Sorry. Yes?
[21:49] <MonkeyDust> ztgu  read this page to get an idea https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PartitioningSchemes
[21:49] <ztgu> ok
[21:49] <guntbert> kinxer: I wanted to tell you to use complete nick names when talking to a specific person
[21:50] <litropy> check: allow other to view; check: allow other users to control; tried toggling the other options there to see if they affect anything, and they don't. But as of now, confirming each connection is unchecked, require a password is checked, conigure upnp is checked.
[21:50] <litropy> So, everything looks like it wants to work. Yet, when I try to VNC in, I get connection refused.
[21:50] <MonkeyDust> ztgu  keep it in the channel please
[21:51] <guntbert> litropy: do you relaay need vino? is ssh -X not good enough?
[21:51] <guntbert> *really
[21:51] <MonkeyDust> !pm | ztgu
[21:51] <iRONCOMICS_> hey everybody
[21:51] <litropy> guntbert, I do.
[21:52] <iRONCOMICS_> I really need helpp
[21:52] <iRONCOMICS_> can anyone help me with my ubuntu
[21:53] <MonkeyDust> ztgu  please stop flooding my pm
[21:53] <MonkeyDust> ztgu  i'm sorry, i will block you now
[21:54] <Noskcaj> !ask | iRONCOMICS_
[21:54] <sfan5> hello
[21:54] <guntbert> litropy: I suggest (just for a test, now) that you allow anyone to view the desktop (and noone to control it) without a password
[21:54] <syncer> so how set ip on as kernel option to bring up iscsi ?
[21:54] <trijntje> hi all, how can I copy my private ssh key from my pc to my laptop so I can authenticate to lp from both?
[21:55] <iRONCOMICS_> Oh sorry, How do i add the resolution 1024x768 to my netbook which nly supports up to 1024x600?
[21:55] <sfan5> is it possible to save the output of a program to a file and output it in realtime (in bash)?
[21:55] <syncer> trijntje:  /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa
[21:55] <litropy> guntbert, tried; failed.
[21:56] <guntbert> litropy: have a look at the logs on (S) - also I have no experience with upnp
[21:57] <trijntje> syncer: thanks!
[21:57] <Septima> sfan5: output to a file AND output to bash at the same time?
[21:57] <sfan5> yes
[21:58] <syncer> anyone how using iscsi root here?
[21:58] <Septima> sfan5: use tee
[21:58] <iRONCOMICS_> How do  add unsupported resolution (1024x768) on my netbook ubuntu v12.04
[21:58] <sfan5> Septima: that worked! thx
[21:59] <smw> Is there no ubuntu-12.10 alternative install cd?
[21:59] <Septima> smw: there's a minimal install
[21:59] <smw> no alternate install cd?
[22:00] <litropy> guntbert, hahahaha - vino-server wasn't running. Launched the server; all set now. thanks for your help.
[22:00] <smw> have they stopped producing them?
[22:00] <Septima> smw: i think they did
[22:00]  * smw is scared
[22:00] <guntbert> litropy: glad you got it sorted :)
[22:00] <smw> Septima, it is the only one I know how to use!
[22:00] <Noskcaj> smw: its only for lubuntu now, or get netboot
[22:01] <guntbert> !alternate | smw
[22:01] <ztgu> I need help with partitioning
[22:01] <ztgu>  I can't find anything with the exact same size as in windows,	C:\ drive 186 gb,	D:\ drive 258 gb		dev/sda4 200 gb,	dev/sda5/ 277.5 gb	dev/sda6 21,4 gb,  	Do you understand?
[22:01] <smw> where do I complain? lol
[22:01] <iRONCOMICS_> how do i add unsupported resolutions to ubuntu 12.04
[22:01] <smw> guntbert, what was the reason they discontinued it?
[22:01] <Noskcaj> smw: lack of use/nessesity i assume
[22:02] <RollinV2> trijntje, you can also launch individual ssh sessions with -i directory/to/ssh/key/keyfilename
[22:02] <guntbert> smw: I don't know - but discussion of that is off topic *here*
[22:02] <Noskcaj> smw, ask/annoy on #ubuntu-release
[22:03] <Dabo_> begginners
[22:03] <Dabo_> sorry
[22:03] <RollinV2> smw, if you want a leaner ubuntu try xubuntu
[22:03] <smw> RollinV2, I don't, I just want the installer I know
[22:04] <Noskcaj> smw, then lubuntu alternate or netboot
[22:04] <trijntje> RollinV2: thanks, but I just needed to copy the key from my pc to laptop, so I set it as the default (id_rsa)
[22:05] <ztgu>  I can't find anything with the exact same size as in windows,	C:\ drive 186 gb,	D:\ drive 258 gb		dev/sda4 200 gb,	dev/sda5/ 277.5 gb	dev/sda6 21,4 gb,  	Do you understand?
[22:05] <ztgu> can anyone help with my partitioning problem?
[22:05] <smw> Noskcaj, I guess I will install 12.04.1
[22:05] <Septima> ztgu: elaborate on the issue
[22:05] <Noskcaj> !patience | ztgu
[22:06] <Noskcaj> smw, ok. what's wrong with netboot or lubuntu
[22:06] <smw> Noskcaj, both require internet to install all the things I want.
[22:07] <Flannel> ztgu: the 186 corresponds to the 200 (sda4), the 258 corresponds to the 277.5 (sda5).  The size differences are because of base 10 vs base 2 (1024 = KB vs 1000 = KB)
[22:07] <Noskcaj> smw: and ubuntu alternate or a normal installer do not?
[22:07] <Noskcaj> *lubuntu
[22:08] <smw> Noskcaj, lubuntu would require me to then install ubuntu-desktop afterwards
[22:08] <smw> the normal installer would work
[22:09] <Dabo_> I am having an error with unity. After I updated my system, it seems to be running unity2d, instead of the regular. Selecting "ubuntu2d" or "ubuntu" in the log in screen both result in unity2d. When I run unity in terminal with debug on, I get this: http://pastebin.com/qZLCsBcs
[22:10] <ituvox> Hello, I'm having trouble with a multifunctional scanner on ubuntu 12.04. The printer works fine, and sane finds the scanner, but trying to run iscan or other scan utilities just stalls until I stop the program or unplug the cable. The printer/scanner is epson tx133.
[22:11] <Septima> Dabo_: update your video drivers
[22:11] <ztgu> Thank you for replying Flannel, but why are they not the same size as in windows?
[22:12] <RollinV2> ztgu linux systems report true gb sizes... 1,024mb as opposed to 1,000mb
[22:12] <Dabo_> Do you know where I can find video driver updates?
[22:12] <Septima> Dabo_: what card?
[22:14] <Dabo_> I am not sure, I am trying to find it now
[22:15] <user82> (maybe anyonw knows now) where do i start when my bluetooth does not work. lshw and lspi do not find any suitable device...but the "bluetooth" module in the kernel is loaded
[22:16] <Dabo_> Would this be the card?  VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF106 [GeForce GT 555M] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
[22:16] <Septima> Dabo_: yes
[22:16] <Evil_Eric> user82 what type of device are you connecting i find that some devices will only work if connected through blueman
[22:16] <stephans_> help, I installed nvidia drivers in 12.10  and now there is no graphics...
[22:17] <Dabo_> I also get this result: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [V
[22:17] <Dabo_> GA controller])
[22:17] <user82> Evil_Eric, i cannot enable the bluetooth module in the notebook
[22:17] <Septima> Dabo_: that's fairly new, you can try getting the drivers off nvidia.com for it; or you can try the ones here: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/+packages
[22:17] <Evil_Eric> oh
[22:17] <user82> it loads the bluetooth module but then when i click "enable" nothing happens
[22:17] <Evil_Eric> good luck with that then user82
[22:18] <stephans_> I also installed linux-source and linux-headers-eneris and removed and reinstalled nvidi-current-updates...
[22:18] <user82> thanks Evil_Eric ... linux 3.7.0 did not yet include a driver :/
[22:18] <Dabo_> Thank you
[22:18] <user82> but is there a way to find out which hardware is built in? no matter if a driver exists or not?
[22:18] <yapli_> irc://irc.rezosup.org:6667/physique
[22:19] <ikonia> yapli_: ?
[22:19] <stephans_> still, when watching the install of nvidia is says that the compiling module for current kernel was skipped since the source dows not seem to be installed... ??
[22:19] <stephans_> but I did install it
[22:19] <stephans_> does anyone have a tip+
[22:19] <stephans_> ?
[22:19] <Septima> stephans_: make sure you have all the dependencies that nvidia specifies
[22:19] <user82> Evil_Eric, dmidecode finds it
[22:20] <ikonia> stephans_: why are you not using the nvidia drivers provided by ubuntu
[22:20] <doubledubba> I want to write a python script that pauses the currently playing music in ubuntu.  Where should I start looking in the API?
[22:20] <ikonia> doubledubba: #python
[22:20] <stephans_> ikonia, the drive by default was nuveau... so not a performer...
[22:21] <ikonia> stephans_: right, so ubuntu also provides some propitary ones too
[22:21] <stephans_> Septima, what dependencies? apt will satisfy them no?
[22:21] <asdf12> anyon get virtualbox guest additions working in ubuntu 12.10?
[22:21] <ikonia> !nvidia | stephans_
[22:21] <stephans_> ikonia, those are the ones that I use...
[22:22] <ikonia> stephans_: where did you get them ?
[22:22] <doubledubba> I am fluent in python. I don't think the guys over at #python would be as helpful
[22:22] <doubledubba> i'm not familiar with unity
[22:22] <doubledubba> I just don't know where to start looking
[22:22] <doubledubba> what part of the unity system control the sound?
[22:22] <ikonia> the music player api would be a start
[22:24] <doubledubba> thanks ikonia
[22:24] <ikonia> doubledubba: could also try hooking into pulse, but that's more "sound" rather than music player
[22:25] <doubledubba> i see
[22:25] <doubledubba> im actually trying to pause the music for the pandora webapp
[22:25] <doubledubba> in the sound menu
[22:26] <doubledubba> while it is running.
[22:26] <doubledubba> is that possible?
[22:26] <ikonia> no idea
[22:27] <MACscr> how do i switch from the server kernel to the virtual kernel in Ubuntu 10.04LTS?
[22:27] <doubledubba> allright
[22:27] <doubledubba> thanks anyways
[22:28] <doubledubba> i think i might have to re-write the code for the pandora webapp to do what im trying to do
[22:28] <doubledubba> too much work
[22:28] <doubledubba> nevermind haha
[22:28] <doubledubba> bye all!
[22:28] <MACscr> i tried apt-get install linux-image-kernel, but that didnt seem to update boot like i normally would
[22:28] <FloodBot1> doubledubba: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:28] <compdoc> MACscr, never knew there was a virtual kernel. Especially for such an ol version
[22:28] <machicola> how do I make my usb bootable
[22:29] <machicola> is it possible even though i only have 200 megs left on it? 750 to ubuntu.iso
[22:29] <machicola> when i try to boot from USB in BIOS i'm getting 'missing operating system'
[22:30] <machicola> i suppose I need to install a bootloader onto the usb?
[22:31] <machicola> my usb is showing up in bios but it unable to successfully boot from it
[22:31] <stephans_> Unfortunatley the support site only shows the basic steps... I am wondering why the apt-get install nvidia-current-updates works when i have the headers and source installed... the install does not see the headers or the source... why?
[22:32] <maslo> hi guys I just did a clean postfix install and when I try to receive an external email it bounces back saying error 550 550 5.1.1, can anyone help me out ?
[22:32] <machicola> oh damn, this is probably like holiday season
[22:32] <machicola> might be harder to find support/help :-(
[22:32] <MonkeyDust> machicola  you need enough space on the thumb drive, to put ubuntu on it
[22:33] <MACscr> compdoc: oops, it was simple as 'apt-get install linux-virtual'
[22:33] <MACscr> nvm, i lied, it didnt do it either =/
[22:33] <machicola> ahh, MonkeyDust , thanks
[22:33] <machicola> I didn't consider that
[22:34] <machicola> someone in error told me a 1 gigger would be big enough
[22:34] <machicola> that makes sense.... need enough room for the full install
[22:34] <MonkeyDust> machicola an empty 1GB, that is
[22:34] <stephans_> the nvidia module is not built because it does not see the source or the headers? I do not understand why. What am i missing?
[22:35] <stephans_> lts works... not 12.10... what changed?
[22:35] <machicola> MonkeyDust, I have a gig size USB and the ubuntu12.10.iso on it is taking up 750MB
[22:35] <MonkeyDust> machicola  an empty 1GB, to create a live usb stick
[22:35] <machicola> yeah, so I guess I'm good then
[22:35] <maslo> can anyone explain the the use of dummy on this tutorial http://blog.thecodingmachine.com/fr/content/triggering-php-script-when-your-postfix-server-receives-mail ? I understand the rest but it doesn't say much as to why we have to use that

[22:36] <aleksa> hello :) My wifi stops working after a while
[22:36] <aleksa> need help
[22:36] <danishman> use a wire, not wifi
[22:36] <aleksa> I'm having USB netgear wireless adapter. Signal is full, but it just stops working after some minutes
[22:36] <blackbird34> hi aleksa can you add a few details?
[22:36] <aleksa> sure
[22:37] <blackbird34> do you have to reboot to make it work again?
[22:37] <machicola> that support page doesn't seem to be very helpful MonkeyDust , I've read it... also it says 2GB for some reason
[22:37] <aleksa> no, I just unplug the USB and put it in againg, and it works after 30 seconds
[22:38] <aleksa> I have to be quick, cause I expect it to stop working in every minute
[22:38] <aleksa> :(
[22:38] <machicola> nevermind MonkeyDust , i think i've missed a key part on it the first time
[22:38] <machicola> thanks, bbiab
[22:38] <blackbird34> are you sure the USB isn't faulty?
[22:39] <blackbird34> aleksa are you sure the USB isn't faulty?
[22:40] <Flannel> ztgu: It's because windows displays the sizes in base-2 prefixes (where 1KB = 1024 B) and Ubuntu displays them in base 10 (where 1KB = 1000B).  It's not a lot at the kilobyte (technically called a kibibyte when in base 2), but when you get up to Gigabytes (and Gibibytes) the difference is significant.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte#Consumer_confusion
[22:40] <ztgu> thank you Flannel
[22:42] <poz> so i have a question about a printer
[22:43] <poz> i have a Samsung SCX-472x Series it does not appear in the printer driver database
[22:43] <poz> and nothing shows up when it is searching. is there a way to get it to work?
[22:43] <stephans_> ikonia, I got the drivers from the main ubuntu repo
[22:44] <aleksa> Yes, I am. It worked until I installed 12.10 from zero
[22:45] <nicho_> Hello. I'm having some problems with my two raid 5's combined with a logical volume. LVM says that it can't find a drive, missing uuid, blkid says that md0 exists, but not md1, and mdadm -D reports that both arrays are healthy. Anyone experienced this before?
[22:48] <blackbird34> aleksa: have you looked around the net to see if others have problems with the same hardware and Ubuntu 12.10 ? What kind of usb dongle is it?
[22:48] <jingoges> I have an older dell currently running Joli OS Linux and I'd like to run Ubuntu instead. How do I go about getting that set up?
[22:49] <aleksa> it's netgear w3100. Had to install ndiswrapper and to use windows driver
[22:52] <aleksa> google shows nothing, just people having problems, but none of it is for 12.10
[22:54] <troulouliou_dev> hi , what is the best remote desktop solution that behave like terminal server with login ...
[22:54] <troulouliou_dev> vnc server only allow to connect when user is connected
[22:55] <PePiTO> hi, I need some help, how to refresh flash player version, please ?
[22:55] <compdoc> troulouliou_dev, that sounds liek desktop sharing. You have to actaully install a vnc server to allow anyone to conenct even when there is on one on the console
[22:56] <nicho_> my pvdisplay says that it "Couldn't find device with uuid '<insert uuid here>'", which is disk /dev/md1 - how do I go from here? from what I can see from mdadm --detail, the array is fine
[22:56] <ikonia> stephans_: if you go the drivers from the ubuntu repo, it won't complain about compiling them
[22:56] <ikonia> stephans_: the package manager will do it all fo your
[22:56] <ikonia> for
[22:56] <troulouliou_dev> comdoc , yes but i would like to connect directly to gdm/ xdm and close local session if opened like terminal server
[22:56] <Blahman101> Anyone have any skill in getting Firefox/Flash (for youtube and Pandora) to use digital audio out? Mplayer, mythtv, etc.. are all good, but I just can't seem to get Firefox workin
