[15:32] <notdan> Hi! Does anybody know if I can install 64-bit ubuntu from 32-bit one?
[15:32] <extor> ughhh the dante client in ubuntu is broken. the package doesnt grab libc as a dependency
[15:32] <deadmund> Saiki: what?
[15:32] <notdan> Or, maybe I can install 32-bit ubuntu and then upgrade to 64-bit one?
[15:32] <bobweaver> Dr_Willis,  correct that is what I was talking about with the firering of the QT dev
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> notdan:  you mean make a bootable usb/iso?
[15:32] <Saiki> deadmund: searches libpcre.so  I got 5 returns
[15:32] <ThinkT510> notdan: no, you don't upgrade to 64bit
[15:33] <deadmund> Saiki: search for just the library's name.
[15:33] <ThinkT510> notdan: you install fresh
[15:33] <deadmund> Saiki: without the folder name in front of it
[15:33]  * Dr_Willis missread.
[15:33] <notdan> ThinkT510: ok, so I just have to download the 64bit cd then?
[15:33] <bobweaver> but of cource you get ride of QT you loss ubuntu phone and tv untill there is a way to run a different form factor using unity libs
[15:33] <bobweaver> sorry </rant>
[15:33] <ThinkT510> notdan: if you want 64bit yeah
[15:34] <Saiki> deadmund: apt-file search libepsng_p11  (returns blank)
[15:34] <deadmund> Saiki: then that library is not available in ubuntu
[15:34] <deadmund> Saiki: What program is asking for this library?
[15:35] <Saiki> deadmund: it's a java auth script
[15:35] <deadmund> Saiki: Ok?
[15:35] <Saiki> deadmund: I'm gonna check my other vm, see if i's there
[15:35] <deadmund> k
[15:36] <Guest47776> !list
[15:37] <Dr_Willis> i wonder if ubotu keeps track of how many times each factoid gets triggered..
[15:37] <extor> Aug 12 19:37:11<PHONE_NUMBER>) danted[3537]: symbolfunction(): compiletime configuration error?  Failed to open "libc.so": /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so: invalid ELF header
[15:38] <Dr_Willis> extor: whats saying that scarry message..
[15:38] <Saiki> deadmund: upon further investigation.. it seems it looks for the file, but doesn't need it..
[15:39] <Dr_Willis> !info danted
[15:39] <extor> Dr_Willis, I don't know
[15:39] <deadmund> Saiki: yay?
[15:39] <extor> dante-server is the package
[15:39]  * extor is going to install debian and see if he has better luck
[15:39] <Dr_Willis> !info danted-server
[15:39] <Saiki> deadmund: yes, I don't have to wrack my brains to find it lol
[15:39] <Dr_Willis> !info dante-server
[15:39] <extor> dante-server not danted-server
[15:39] <deadmund> :)
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> almost like its saying libc.so is currupted..
[15:40] <Saiki> deadmund: I do have one other issue, a push in the rightdirection would begreatly appriciated if you can. (I need ot load the other vm again first though lol)
[15:40] <mael> Hi, please give a tip what data base should I use for application program (not for cgi). It is necessary to accompany the program with this base. As I understood Mysql is for client/server architecture and its base does not allow to move it with program distributive
[15:41] <extor> yeah wierd ha
[15:43] <djzn> i'm wondering why ttf-mscorefonts come with the Font_Name_Italic.ttf and a symlink like fni.ttf
[15:44] <samtuke> Hi, I installed Ubuntu to an LVM volume and added it to my existing fedora boot menu. When I try and boot it however it says "ALERT! /dev/mapper/vg-home--desktop-distro2 does not exist. Dropping to shell!". I tried chrooting from livecd to ensure lvm2 is installed, but I'm not sure it worked. How can I get it to boot? Version of Ubuntu is Dream Studio.
[15:46] <librarat> Hey guys, I've got a weird issue with a Server install. Essentially, I'm seeing frequent lockups. They only happen on remote sessions (TTY1 is unaffected) but it's happening to all network services. When I ssh, sometimes I get disconnected and other times I don't. As a diagnostic measure, I set a ping up to google and let it run - I saw the lockup (ping stats stop refreshing) freeze for about 20 seconds, then a whole block of stats
[15:46] <librarat>  appears at once and the ping was still going just fine.  I was told that this might be an interrupt issue I'm seeing but I have no idea how to further diagnose this. This just started happening, out of the blue. I've completely reinstalled my server and even from a clean install (but with 11.10 and 12.04) I am still having these same issues. Does anyone have any ideas?
[15:46] <Saiki> deadmund: http://pastebin.com/yPh9kn38
[15:46] <deadmund> Saiki: ?  Something is wrong in the source.
[15:47] <bonhoeffer> i'm having trouble mounting a guid volume -- it mounts fine using the live cd, but on my 12.04 install, i can't recognize any of the files
[15:47] <Saiki> deadmund: source should be fine, that's a copy from somehting working elsewhere perfectly
[15:47] <deadmund> Saiki: Well if you are at all familiar with software you'll know that source can work perfectly in one situation and crash in another situation.
[15:47] <deadmund> Saiki: based on the INPUT
[15:47] <Saiki> deadmund: I think Im missing a package somewhere. or my java_home is wrong
[15:48] <deadmund> Saiki: perhaps
[15:48] <bonhoeffer> i get "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "New Volume"."
[15:48] <deadmund> I don't know
[15:48] <Saiki> deadmund: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386     <supposed to be java 7
[15:49] <deadmund> Saiki: I totally have no idea at this point anymore :)
[15:50] <YamatoPotter> Could someone help me?
[15:50] <Saiki> !help | YamatoPotter
[15:50] <Saiki> deadmund: does that look right though to you?
[15:50] <deadmund> Saiki: I don't know.
[15:51] <bonhoeffer> in disk manager the file system is ext3 and the partition is linux basic data partition
[15:51] <bonhoeffer> but it won't mount
[15:52] <YamatoPotter> My laptop with ubuntu 11.10 was used to hibernate and suspend normaly, but, when I updated it to 12.04, it hibernate and suspend, but no wake up, he turn on, but the system doesn't return
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> bonhoeffer: how are you mounting it?
[15:52] <bonhoeffer> bonhoeffer, two ways -- mount command and using the disk utility
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> whats the exaxt mount command..
[15:53] <bonhoeffer> i have to remember, i thought i did mount -t ext3 /dev/sdd1
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> no mount point?
[15:54] <Dr_Willis>   sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /media/makeadirectory -t auto
[15:54] <kartlos> hey guys, if was wondering why ~/.xsession doesn't get run in 12.04?
[15:55] <bonhoeffer> Dr_Willis, i'll try that thanks
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> kartlos: theres a lightdm entry that uses it when selected i recall
[15:55] <Saiki> deadmund: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/pw?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8  < this is how auth finds my users. maybe I'm missing a jdbc package?
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> 'user defined' or somthing like that
[15:55] <kartlos> Dr_Willis: what can I do to get my .xsession to run?
[15:56] <deadmund> Saiki: mysql  ?  Do you have a mysql server running?
[15:56] <YamatoPotter> My laptop with ubuntu 11.10 was used to hibernate and suspend normally, but, when I updated it to 12.04, it hibernate and suspend, but no wake up, he turn on, but the system doesn't return ... what can be happen?
[15:56] <Saiki> deadmund: yes
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> kartlos:  use startx , or selec that session in lightdm
[15:56] <bonhoeffer> Dr_Willis, i got it -- i guess i had to sudo mount
[15:56] <deadmund> Saiki: mmm IDK
[15:56] <bonhoeffer> is there a way to copy verbose so i can see progress
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> bonhoeffer:  linux FUNdamentals
[15:56] <kartlos> Dr_Willis: thanks, i'll try that
[15:57] <Saiki> !repeat | YamatoPotter
[15:57] <bonhoeffer> Dr_Willis, thanks for the pointer
[15:58] <Saiki> deadmund: well, I'm pretty sure that it's jdbc that's erroring.. : gauthd: 12 Aug 2012 10:41:07,347  INFO GAuthServer:? - MatrixPasswd:can not find user saikadmin  (gauthd uses jdbc)
[15:58] <deadmund> Saiki: I wish I could help but you know more about this than I do!

[16:03] <DancesWithKows> Hi all...I have a laptop with a wireless usb adapter....when activate the laptop from sleep mode, the usb adapter stops working...anyone know how to reload the driver in the kernel/get it working without reboot
[16:04] <cristian__> hi guys
[16:04] <triad> It must be a command :)
[16:04] <triad> restart your adapter
[16:04] <DancesWithKows> how
[16:04] <cristian__> i need a help with bash i'm in panic using grp
[16:04] <triad> well, try unplug and plug again the usb adapter
[16:04] <DancesWithKows> hmm ok
[16:04] <DancesWithKows> will try that
[16:04] <DancesWithKows> tanks
[16:05] <triad> it might work.
[16:05] <DancesWithKows> yeah didnt try that yet
[16:05] <triad> hehe
[16:05] <DancesWithKows> brb trying it
[16:05] <cristian__> can someone help me with grep?
[16:05] <triad> cristian__: Please don't ask to ask. Just say what's your problem.
[16:05] <cristian__> i need to delete some line using grep from a pipeline result
[16:07] <cristian__> my problem is this... i'm redirecting an output to grep, but i need to delete some special caracters and some duplicated lines. -.- i'm in panic
[16:08] <sirriffsalot> Hey, I'm having these frequent streams of xruns, and yesterday I think I've narrowed things down to needing a realtime kernel.. Any comments on that?
[16:17] <biifer> Hi, I'm getting an error when I try to update my system: "W:Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/dists/testing/non-free/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[16:17] <biifer> , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
[16:19] <disown> crazy question but I am wondering are freenode irc or irc in general used by students more then workers/proffessionals or are most of the channels here from exprienced proffesional ?
[16:19] <TJ-> disown: Almost all Ubuntu developers use IRC
[16:20] <disown> so then the most knowledgeable people in the field would be using it ?
[16:20] <TJ-> biifer: You'll need to remove the Google repository from the list of software sources, or correct it, because it seems they've taken away that repository.
[16:21] <TJ-> disown: It's the common way that dev's around the world communicate
[16:21] <disown> make sense , no more mailing lists or forums ... well maybe irc is the quickest and prefered way to do it
[16:23] <Kihokki> Does anybody here use Intel GMA3600? Any news for upcoming drivers?
[16:23] <TJ-> We generally use IRC for real-time figuring out, and mail-lists for stuff we want to ensure is in the record... mailing-lists tend no to get missed unlike an IRC conversation that you might not see because you're in bed in a different time zone
[16:26] <cristian__> Guys, ho can i create a filter using grep to delete strings with 12345 and change strings with NAMES or special caracters in "from Name or special caracters"
[16:26] <TJ-> cristian__: Use "sed"
[16:26] <biifer> TJ-: Brilliant, found the /etc/apt/sources.list file and just commented the google line, thanks for the help
[16:27] <cristian__> TJ how?
[16:27] <cristian__> can u help me ?
[16:29] <TJ-> cristian__: For example: "sed -e 's/\(\)NAMES/\1Names/g' -e 's/12345/d' /path/to/somefile"
[16:29] <cristian__> i dont know nothing about sed
[16:30] <UbuntuChristian> Hey, im having some trouble with opengl using Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 5750G, anyone knows anything?
[16:30] <cristian__> says '/' unmached
[16:31] <UbuntuChristian> Strangely works with Linux Mint, both 64 bit versions
[16:31] <nabeen> is there something wrong with the ruby on rails package on the repository?
[16:31] <triad> Hm..
[16:31] <triad> UbuntuChristian: All updates made ?
[16:31] <TJ-> cristian__: I typed it off the top of my head, didn't test it. The 2nd term was wrong I think: "sed -e 's/\(\)NAMES/\1Names/g' -e '/12345/d' /path/to/somefile"
[16:31] <nabeen> its been a huge pain in the ass for me
[16:32] <cristian__> sorry i used > to save it :D
[16:32] <UbuntuChristian> @triad yep, everything updated
[16:32] <UbuntuChristian> how can i send private messages here Oo
[16:32] <triad> 2x click on a name
[16:32] <Kihokki>   /query nickname
[16:32] <UbuntuChristian> ok thx
[16:32] <gitesh> How do I make Network Manager (nice GUI) to manage DSL connections *Default which booting system* ?
[16:33] <gitesh> *while
[16:33] <triad> don't you have any options there ? something ..a box to check ?
[16:33] <WeThePeople> gitesh, it should manage DSL already..?
[16:34] <gitesh> WeThePeople , Its been changed , i have to set using  ppoeconf everytime.
[16:34] <gitesh> my mistake
[16:34] <Kihokki> You mean autoconnect?
[16:34] <WeThePeople> ahh
[16:35] <gitesh> yes, I am not seeing autoconnect at GUI.
[16:36] <TJ-> gitesh: Is there a "available to all users" tick-box ?
[16:37] <cristian__> Tj
[16:37] <gitesh> TJ- Yes
[16:37] <atari314> Hello, does anyone know why Ubuntu's libgl1-mesa-dev isn't including the static (libGL.a) version?
[16:37] <gitesh> there is , and its ticked
[16:37] <cristian__> TJ i mean 12345/ EVERYNUMBER that doesnt start with special caracter/
[16:37] <TJ-> gitesh: I think that is supposed to mean "bring up at boot time for all users" so if it isn't coming up I'm not sure why
[16:38] <gitesh> hmm.....
[16:38] <TJ-> cristian__: sed using regular expressions to match and do replacements; you'll need to read a good sed tutorial e.g.  http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html
[16:40] <cristian__> TJ for example... 12345 is a normal numer, it hass to be deleted... if there are numbers with special caracters like +123456 they must be saved removing just the  tag
[16:40] <WeThePeople> gitesh, you might have better luck in #networking
[16:40] <gitesh> ok, WeThePeople, i try that.
[16:42] <TJ-> cristian__: What you want is complex; sed can do it, but you'll need to practice a bit with it to get the hang of its power
[16:42] <cristian__> -.- godness
[16:42] <cristian__> u dont know hot to ?
[16:43] <TJ-> atari314: libGL.a is in libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev
[16:43] <cristian__> just becouse i dont want to study sed -.- i hate it -.- it's to complicated for me
[16:43] <TJ-> I know how to. The purpose of this channel is not to do things for you, but to help you learn how to do them for yourself
[16:44] <cristian__> -.-
[16:44] <cristian__> thx
[16:45] <cristian__> i'm here to ask for a help not for a wiki link
[16:48] <laci> hello
[16:54] <WHAT_DOWN> i'm in an apartment building where i'm not allowed to connect wireless routers to the wall, but i can connect them to the computer. is there any way i can use a router to allow my phone to tether to my computer for internet access?
[16:54] <WHAT_DOWN> or even just tether the router to the computer
[16:54] <theadmin> WHAT_DOWN: Uh, why do you need a router for that? Just tether it to the computer. What OS does the phone have?
[16:55] <WHAT_DOWN> android
[16:55] <theadmin> WHAT_DOWN: Then it's simple. Settings -> Wireless Networks -> Tethering and Portable Hotspot -> USB Tethering -> Enable
[16:55] <WHAT_DOWN> the computer doesn't have wireless, which i guess will make things a problem
[16:55] <disown> you can connect your phone to a wireless router in the network settings of it
[16:55] <davidhurwich> hello
[16:56] <disown> from there you can connect your computer thru your phone to the wifi router
[16:56] <disown> by setting it as an access point
[16:57] <disown> so re cap just connect your phone to the wifi router via the network settings and also thru the network settings set up an access point SSID on your phone then connect your computer to it. But why not directly connect to the wifi router in the first places
[16:58] <disown> via your computer
[16:58] <theadmin> disown: Phone has the internet in this scenario, not the router.
[16:58] <theadmin> disown: So that's what (s)he's trying to figure out
[16:58] <disown> O so you are using the 3g for your internet you have an APN then
[16:59] <theadmin> Which is much easier resolved by directly plugging the phone in
[16:59] <samuel> anyone here know of a channel where i can get hold of people from yorba?
[17:00] <disown> in that cases all you have to do is enable wifi access point on your phone and connect your computer via the SSID of your phone
[17:00] <disown> when it shows up in the networks availabe on your computer
[17:00] <samuel> or alternatively someone here that knows alot about shotwell
[17:01] <theadmin> disown: Aaand the computer doesn't have wireless, which is why the best idea here is USB tethering
[17:01] <theadmin> samuel: Shotwell is the default photo manager in Ubuntu, so shoot
[17:01] <samuel> cool
[17:01] <samuel> well just lately it has been detecting alot of my photo's as duplicate
[17:01] <samuel> even though they are not
[17:01] <samuel> to the point that i have whole days of photographs missing
[17:02] <samuel> and random ones in existing events that are missing
[17:02] <disown> if you don't have wifi on your computer your only option is to tether directly thru usb or if your computer has bluetooth though thats more difficult to set up
[17:02] <samuel> the files are there on the computer, but they do not show up in shotwell
[17:02] <samuel> when i try to manually plant them in, it says that it is already there
[17:03] <samuel> so do have to delete my shotwell database file and start again, ro is there some other way around this?
[17:03] <theadmin> samuel: Well, wait for someone who knows.. Cause I don't, I just know that this question is okay to ask here
[17:03] <theadmin> I use, uh, I think Gwenview.
[17:05] <samuel> ok well i will hang about, hopefully i can get the photo's in without wiping my database
[17:05] <davidhurwich> Hello, don't mean to interupt i wondering if i could ask Ubuntu question
[17:05] <davidhurwich> to the group
[17:05] <samuel> there is no such thing as interrupting, this is ir
[17:05] <samuel> irc
[17:05] <samuel> just say what you want when you want :D if someone knows the answer they will chip in, thats how it works here
[17:06] <davidhurwich> i been running ubuntu 11:10 for a while, when i upgraded 12.04 it has trouble finding my wireless card
[17:07] <samuel> what make/model of wireless card do you have?
[17:07] <davidhurwich> i gone to system settings to remove and add the STA wireless driver, but it still doesn't seem to find it
[17:07] <samuel> broadcom?
[17:07] <davidhurwich> yes
[17:07] <davidhurwich> Broadcom STA wireless
[17:08] <samuel> what broadcom have you got? mine is a bcm4313
[17:08] <samuel> do lspci in the terminal, it will tell you there
[17:09] <MrSergeantBigfoo> hi
[17:09] <davidhurwich> hmmm, not sure
[17:09] <davidhurwich> ok
[17:09] <samuel> hi mrsergeeantbigfoo
[17:10] <MrSergeantBigfoo> anyone know the best java JRE for tekkit minecraft?  OpenJDK bugs too much :/
[17:10] <samuel> i'm using sun java 6
[17:11] <MrSergeantBigfoo> k thanx samuel
[17:11] <samuel> but i have had some success with openjre7
[17:11] <davidhurwich> Broadcom BCM4311
[17:11] <samuel> i dont think the guys at minecraft have optimised for java 7
[17:11] <MrSergeantBigfoo> for me the zombies are all messed up and the engines dont render properly
[17:11] <savio> hello
[17:11] <MrSergeantBigfoo> hi
[17:12] <samuel> davidurwich - its always best to have the exact make and model of the hardware you are having a problem with
[17:12] <DJones> MrSergeantBigfoo: I don't have any issues with OpenJDK 6 and minecraft, that works as well as Sun Java (For me anyway)
[17:12] <bunjee> anyone help me access terminal?
[17:12] <samuel> and lspci will tell you if it is something like a wireless card or graphics card
[17:12] <samuel> lsusb will tell you about anything connecting through a usb bus like a webcam or touchpad
[17:13] <MrSergeantBigfoo> im talking about the tekkit modpack.  Normal minecraft works fine for me too.
[17:13] <samuel> bunjee, just do ctrl+alt and T
[17:13] <samuel> hello savio
[17:14] <davidhurwich> is the wireless driver Network Controller under lspci
[17:14] <davidhurwich> ?
[17:14] <samuel> yes
[17:14] <samuel> cos on a laptop it uses a micro pci connector
[17:14] <MrSergeantBigfoo> gotta go
[17:14] <savio> hello samuel
[17:14] <davidhurwich> according to lspcii its Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN
[17:14] <samuel> touchpads and webcams are connected via an internal usb connector
[17:14] <davidhurwich> <rev 01)
[17:15] <bunjee> thanx Samuel!
[17:15] <xorox90> how can I deal wth package mass up problem after long time using ubuntu? although I always apt-get autoremove, some packages doesn't have proper dependency... so garbage leave..
[17:15] <samuel> now, i dont know of any specific issues with that card, but if i were you my next step would be to put into google the following
[17:15] <samuel> "ubuntu 12.04 bcm4311"
[17:16] <samuel> you may find a whole thread on ubuntu forums where someone has gone through exactly what you are going through
[17:16] <samuel> and you can see what they have tried, failed, and succeded on
[17:16] <samuel> i recommend that rather than us both running through all off that
[17:17] <samuel> i had an issue with my broadcom wireless card in that it only gave me 2 bars of signal
[17:17] <samuel> but i found a thread on ubuntu forums with the resolution
[17:17] <davidhurwich> Ok, thanks i see what the forums have
[17:17] <samuel> oops you may have missed some of what i said davidhurwich
[17:17] <phred_> hi all
[17:17] <samuel> i will repeat the important bit...
[17:18] <samuel> google this "ubuntu 12.04 bcm4311"
[17:18] <samuel> without the speech marks
[17:18] <samuel> hi phred
[17:18] <samuel> i'm not sure whether you are asking or telling xorox90
[17:18] <davidhurwich> okay thanks
[17:18] <phred_> so who's the guru here today?  :)
[17:19] <samuel> i always find synaptic package manager useful for problems with packages
[17:19] <samuel> phred if you just ask, if there is someone reading that knows the answer they will chip in
[17:19] <samuel> you dont have to be a guru to answer some questions
[17:19] <phred_> ok... never been to this channel before
[17:19] <wilee-nilee> !broadcom | davidhurwich
[17:19] <phred_> i want to know how to bypass a dpkg error message
[17:20] <davidhurwich> thanks man, i appreciate it
[17:20] <samuel> you mean you want to force the package to install anyway phred
[17:20] <phred_> yes
[17:20] <phred_> i am running kubuntu... tried to upgrade from natty to oneiric a few days ago
[17:20] <samuel> i believe you can do that by adding -f or -F cant remember which to your command
[17:20] <samuel> check the manpage
[17:20] <phred_> nope
[17:20] <phred_> doesn't work
[17:21] <phred_> problem is that netbase won't install... i keep getting an error about md5hash
[17:21] <phred_> but i have downloaded several different times... i know the .deb file is good
[17:21] <phred_> now i just want to force dpkg to ignore the error and install it anyway
[17:21] <samuel> the md5hash error appears to disagree with you
[17:21] <phred_> yes, it does
[17:22] <phred_> but i have downloaded and extracted it several times from different sources
[17:22] <phred_> i have scanned my file system and found no errors
[17:22] <phred_> i am convinced the error is either a) bogus, or b) refers to some config file somewhere that is borked
[17:23] <TJ-> What is the error message, precisely?
[17:23] <phred_> hang on
[17:23] <Calahan> hi
[17:25] <phred_> in isolation, the error reads:
[17:25] <phred_> Setting up netbase (4.47ubuntu1) ...
[17:25] <phred_> dpkg: error processing netbase (--configure):
[17:25] <phred_>  failed to read on buffer copy for md5hash: Input/output error
[17:25] <phred_> i have even tried different versions of netbase in an effort to resolve the problem
[17:25] <phred_> i can find no legitimate reason for the error
[17:26] <phred_> and yet, as you can see, networking seems to be working
[17:27] <TJ-> phred_: That's a sure symptom of a corrupted disk
[17:27] <phred_> i have scanned it and found no errors
[17:28] <phred_> if there's a corrupted file somewhere that i could delete and try again, i'd love to find it
[17:28] <TJ-> Have you checked the kernel log for reports of disk read/write errors? /var/log/kern.log
[17:29] <phred_> no... hang on, i'll do that
[17:30] <Kircle> I'm trying to install emerald on 12.04 in a virtual machine before installing it on my actual desktop (had trouble with it in the past). I followed a tutorial on how to get it working in precise but after typing emerald --reload nothing changes
[17:30] <phred_> i do have a number of disk errors, but those are mostly a result of the peculiar hardware setup
[17:30] <phred_> would dpkg.log be more informative?
[17:30] <Kircle> using fusion icon makes parts of the screen go black and eventually crashes compiz.
[17:33] <deitarion> I've got an old Athlon 2500+ that I'm setting up with Lubuntu but it's not offering me an nVidia binary driver for the GeForce4 MX 4000 in it. Since I'm planning on donating this to someone needy, what's the least fragile way to stop Flash from crashing immediately on plugin load? (YouTube is the ONLY thing I need to fix before it's ready to give away)
[17:34] <theadmin> deitarion: If it's YouTube, why do you need Flash?
[17:34] <theadmin> deitarion: Let it load it's HTML5 version and that's it
[17:34] <deitarion> theadmin: Don't they still blacklist the HTML5 player on any video that needs to display ads?
[17:34] <theadmin> deitarion: Do they? I have no idea...
[17:35] <theadmin> deitarion: I have adblock plus %)
[17:35] <theadmin> deitarion: Oh yeah, it says they don't
[17:35] <theadmin> deitarion: How did you install Flash anyway?
[17:35] <deitarion> theadmin: I checked the "Install patented codecs" checkbox in the installer.
[17:36] <theadmin> deitarion: Oh, that... I have no idea what that really does, but yeah, that should be enough. Hm.
[17:36] <deitarion> theadmin: The problem is that Flash crashes when you use Nouveau as the video driver.
[17:36] <phred_> would gnash help?
[17:36] <theadmin> deitarion: Hm... Why not install nvidia-current?
[17:36] <theadmin> Or yeah, gnash might be good too
[17:37] <deitarion> This is the first machine I've had with a video card older than a GeForce FX5200 and, hence, the first one where it hasn't offered an nVidia binary driver. I'm guessing the GeForce4-series is too old for nvidia-current. (I'll try it. If that doesn't work, I'll see if nvidia-legacy still exists and works.)
[17:38] <deitarion> I find Gnash too unpredictable to put on a machine I'm gonna donate.
[17:38] <phred_> it doesn't always work, but it seems at least to be stable on my systems
[17:39] <deitarion> I have trouble keeping Gnash stable on my geek box. Everything else, my mother uses every day and the worst issue she's run into is that LightDM silently fails to login if the hard drive is full because the un-privileged subprocess can't log into the root-reserved free space.
[17:40] <phred_> you're way beyond my skillset now... :)
[17:40] <deitarion> Gnash also gives confusing results when you try to play a flash file which uses unsupported opcodes or ActionScript classes and, last I checked (about a month ago), it still had AV desync issues when playing an MP3 BGM track on a drawn/tweened/animated (non-FLV/MP4) video track.
[17:41] <phred_> is there a generic driver available that might work instead of the nvidia proprietary one?
[17:41] <guthrie> hiya
[17:42] <agentgasmask> guthrie: Hey. :)
[17:42] <theadmin> phred_: The "generic" one is vesa, but...
[17:42] <theadmin> phred_: That's gonna get ugly on a more-or-less big screen.
[17:43] <pranavk> using openvpn i am connected to the openvpn server now creating a new network interface tun0, now i have two network interface eth0 and tun0, how do i tell my applications to use tun0 now instead of eth0
[17:43] <pranavk> ?
[17:43] <deitarion> phred_: I suspect Flash will crash on anything that doesn't give it the GPU acceleration it wants. The only option I can think of there would be to copy the config file from my desktop where Flash works well enough for me to disable acceleration and write out the binary config file.
[17:43] <phred_> i think 800x600 looks great on a 21" monitor!  :)
[17:44] <deitarion> (The human-readable /etc config file only lets you force-ENABLE GPU acceleration. To force-disable it, you have to use the GUI INSIDE the flash plugin which writes a binary blob config file at ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settings.sol
[17:44] <lmarietto> salve
[17:44] <lmarietto> !list
[17:45] <deitarion> ...and I'm wary of that option because, if someone using the machine says "Hey! GPU acceleration!" and changes the setting, their only option is to ask someone with working flash to disable GPU acceleration and send over their settings.sol... which also happens to contain a list of all the domains you've visited with Flash.)
[17:46] <DAN_> Can anyone help with installing ubuntu?
[17:46] <phred_> just curious: does that video card use shared system memory?  if so, could there be a conflict of some kind?
[17:46] <DAN_> It just freezes once it has rebooted to complete install.
[17:46] <deitarion> phred_: No. It's a discrete GPU. I just don't have anything newer in AGP except for the GeForce MX5200 I'm already using in a PC I don't want to give away.
[17:46] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, black screen?
[17:46] <DAN_> it seems to be different every time I try
[17:47] <TJ-> pranavk: you create a new default route that uses tun0
[17:47] <DAN_> But yes, black screened on a number of occassions
[17:47] <wilee-nilee> !nomodeset | DAN_ try this
[17:47] <DAN_> thanks, but tired it
[17:47] <DAN_> tried it
[17:47] <DAN_> no joy
[17:47] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, you would insert nomodeset in the krnel at grub the link shows how.
[17:48] <wilee-nilee> ah DAN_
[17:48] <DAN_> yes, tried it. it doesn't work.
[17:48] <pranavk> TJ-: okay, thanks
[17:48] <DAN_> Techie friends are  all perplexed
[17:49] <phred_> is there a less-specific driver available from nvidia - one that supports the chipset but may not be optimized for that particular card?
[17:49] <DAN_> It worked wonderfully on my puny little netbook, but not on my main laptop
[17:49] <phred_> DAN_: could there be a loose hardware connection somewhere (drive cable, for example)?
[17:49] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, the live cd worked fine?
[17:50] <DAN_> until it reboots to complete install
[17:50] <DAN_> it doesn't work either when doing it from a USB/Disk
[17:50] <wilee-nilee> same basic install
[17:51] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, where you on the net on the installs ans clicked the update on install>
[17:51] <wilee-nilee> and*
[17:52] <DAN_> what?
[17:52] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, there is a box that can be clicked to have updates installed while installing, it may be a driver that would have been picked up then.
[17:53] <DAN_> ok, I'll start again with it and see if I can do that. ty
[17:53] <phred_> good luck
[17:53] <cristian> hi guys
[17:53] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, might be easier then waiting for a search of the problem , may not hard to say.
[17:54] <cristian> i need to delete one variable number using sed from a line, excluding lines that contain words or special caracters can you help me ? this doesnt work sed -e 's/^[0-9]$//g
[17:55] <DAN_> Doesn't appear to be an option for thatr
[17:55] <arabi> hello guys
[17:55] <arabi> is there any andorid emulator available for 12.04 ???
[17:55] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, you are using the live cd, should be 2nd or third gui has a third party baox as well.
[17:55] <arabi> do you have any idea?
[17:55] <wilee-nilee> box*
[17:56] <DAN_> it's definitely not there.
[17:56] <DAN_> yes, live cd
[17:56] <arabi> is there any android emulator available for Ubuntu 12.04
[17:56] <cristian> :'(
[17:56] <cristian> any help with sed?
[17:57] <DAN_> it asks me for size, enviornment, username and password...and then just installs. no further options.
[17:58] <phred_> wish i could help, cristian... not too good with regexs
[17:58] <crankharder> getting "gzip: stdout: No space left on device" while trying to update update-initramfs.  Seems that my /boot has 0 space left on it.  Is there anything I can do short of resizing that partition?
[17:58] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, here is a picture set of install. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-desktop
[17:59] <wilee-nilee> says wireless but more then that will be picked up.
[18:00] <DAN_> thanks. mine looks nothing like that at all.
[18:00] <phred_> crankharder: you probably need to purge some old kernels that take up space on /boot, but i don't know how to do that safely
[18:00] <DAN_> not this time around, at least.
[18:00] <WeThePeople>  i have resized my ntfs now i would like to expand the linux fs by that much and gparted doesnt have an option to do this, is there a program that can add freespace to a partition?
[18:00] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, 12.04 correct?
[18:00] <DAN_> mine looks like this....http://praji.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/wubi.png
[18:01] <DAN_> 12.04, ye
[18:01] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, that is a wubi install
[18:01] <Sidewinder1> WeThePeople, Gparted should do that; just make sure the partition you're trying to expand/shrink is unmounted.
[18:01] <DAN_> what's that?
[18:02] <Sidewinder1> WeThePeople, You may need to do that from a LiveCD environment.
[18:02] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, also says 8.04 which is end of life I believe.
[18:02] <arabi> is there any android emulator available for UBUNTU 12.04 ??
[18:02] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, A wubi instal is a install from windows
[18:03] <DAN_> 8.04 thing is just taken from google images. i'm deffo trying to install 12.04
[18:03] <DAN_> yes, well I am installing from windows...
[18:03] <Sidewinder1> Real friends don't let friends use wubi; WADR to the developers, of cource.
[18:03] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, Installed from windows? that is the only way you would see that gui.
[18:04] <DAN_> yes, installing from win7
[18:04] <theadmin> cristian: Your regex looks correct, I have no idea why sed isn't working, but this seems to do the trick: perl -ne 's/^[0-9]$//;print'
[18:04] <wilee-nilee> Sidewinder1, So what do people do that have no other way such as a work computer with no vm.
[18:04] <Sidewinder1> Good question.
[18:04] <alecjw> hi there, how can i use the internal microphone in my laptop under precise?
[18:05] <cristian> with perl too ?
[18:05] <wilee-nilee> wubi has its place but I get your point.
[18:05] <Sidewinder1> How 'bout LiveCD..
[18:05] <theadmin> cristian: Why not? Perl is installed almost anywhere
[18:05] <cristian> -.- but i'm from maemo let me try it
[18:06] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, Wubi is basically a try out install it is a file in windows rather then a full install dualboot, is that what you want.
[18:06] <Sidewinder1> wilee-nilee, I agree; I just cringe when folks try to use it on a long term basis, upgrades, etc.. But I know what you mean.
[18:06] <DAN_> ideally. not ready to junk windows yet
[18:06] <DAN_> esp because currys tells me doing so would invalidate my warranty
[18:06] <cristian> doesnt work
[18:07] <Sidewinder1> DAN_, Just do a "real" dual boot; I've been doing exactly that for years now.
[18:07] <DAN_> meaning?
[18:07] <cristian> this is the command line
[18:07] <cristian> sqlite3 -html /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db "SELECT start_time,end_time,is_read,remote_uid,free_text,group_uid,outgoing FROM Events WHERE service_id=3 AND (event_type_id=7 OR event_type_id=11) ORDER BY group_uid,start_time" | sed -e 's/^//g' | sed -e 's/<\/TD>//g' | sed -e 's/^[0-9]$//g' | perl -ne 's/^[0-9]$//;print' | grep -v "
" | grep -v "
" > /home/user/MyDocs/output.html
[18:07] <wilee-nilee> DAN_, you don't need to junk windows, I have multiple installs on one hd, W7 and 3 linux installs, some cringe at this though. This does not fix your original problem other then a full install would allo the updates and may be fine.
[18:08] <wilee-nilee> allow*
[18:08] <phred_> if doing a dual boot with windows, EasyBCD (http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD) is your friend
[18:08] <cristian> but in the html outputfile i still have a line with a Number
[18:08] <Sidewinder1> DAN_, That's the whole purpose of Dual Boot; to have win on one partition and win on another. Then you can use which ever OS meets your needs, on an application basis.
[18:08] <wilee-nilee> phred_, so is grub2 easybcd is a okay setup but not really needed if you understand the mbr, and have the right discs.
[18:09] <Sidewinder1> Oops Win on one and ubuntu on another, sorry.
[18:09] <Sidewinder1>  Time for a break. :-(
[18:09] <phred_> wilee-nilee: AND you intend to use grub as your bootloader.  If, on the other hand, you really want or need to use the Windows bootloader, EasyBCD is your friend.
[18:10] <wilee-nilee> phred_, To each their own. ;)
[18:10] <Sidewinder1> "Tis all about choices. :)
[18:10] <w0rm> yo
[18:10] <Sidewinder1> yo
[18:11] <alecjw> hi there, how can i use the internal microphone in my laptop under precise?
[18:11] <alecjw> i've tried changing the "connector" option in sound settings to internal mic with no success
[18:11] <alecjw> it used to work but it's stopped now
[18:12] <wilee-nilee> alecjw, you have checked in sound that it is not off?
[18:12] <wilee-nilee> or turned down
[18:12] <alecjw> wilee-nilee: yup. it's at a sensible volume and not muted
[18:12] <alecjw> sox hears nothing
[18:13] <alecjw> i tried this workaround with no success: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/946232/comments/32
[18:13] <wilee-nilee> not sure myself
[18:17] <SkippersBoss> alecjw. What happens if you shut down pulse (temporary of course )
[18:17] <R4is> Hi.
[18:18] <R4is> :'(
[18:18] <MonkeyDust> R4is  did you have a question?
[18:19] <R4is> No .pershen irani

[18:25] <JC-PTY> hello guys, i am connected from my windows computer through ssh to my ubuntu 12.04, i would like to start x11vnc server and then access the whole gui... there is any tutorial on how to do this?
[18:26] <MonkeyDust> JC-PTY  putty?
[18:26] <JC-PTY> i am using CRT
[18:27] <JC-PTY> but i am already connected to the ubuntu system
[18:27] <JC-PTY> i just want to be able to start the vnc from the ssh session and then to connect through.. so i was wondering where i could find those commands
[18:29] <hylian> hello all
[18:31] <kazagistar> I have a netbook, and as soon as my system hits even a medium memory load, it starts freezing up for minutes, and sometimes longer... the mouse can move, but I cant actually do anything, even switching to TTY1 and trying to log in takes a min for each step of the process. Is there something wrong with swap or something?

[18:33] <savio> hello
[18:34] <hylian> savio: hello, can i help you?
[18:34] <savio> yah
[18:34] <CookieM> kazagistar maybe relogging to unity 2D might help
[18:34] <hylian> savio: what's up?
[18:34] <savio> hylian, not much
[18:34] <savio> hylian, what abt you
[18:35] <Debolaz> CookieM: Unity2D doesn't really have a smaller memory footprint.
[18:35] <Debolaz> kazagistar: How much memory do you have on your system?
[18:36] <kazagistar> Debolaz:  1 Gb... should I switch back to a different DE?
[18:36] <Debolaz> kazagistar: You might want to try to enable zram.
[18:36] <Debolaz> kazagistar: http://berle.cc/2012/08/11/improving-low-memory-ubuntu-performance-with-zram/
[18:38] <kazagistar> Debolaz: I'll give that a try, thanks!
[18:40] <kazagistar> Another question... is there a way to make unity work nice with multiple screens? My issues are having 2 copies of the launcher bar, and the mouse sticking to the edge of the screen when I try to switch sides
[18:41] <trism> kazagistar: you can configure those in the Display settings
[18:41] <trism> kazagistar: if you aren't using one of the proprietary drivers that is
[18:44] <biifer> something died on my system and i was unable to reach the menu that pops up when I usually holds the mouse to the top left corner om my scree. after a quick log out and login again i restored my chrome session, i then had a new tab open: a google search for "Hi. this is barcelona" anyone has any ideas what this came from?
[18:44] <kazagistar> trism: I am using the proprietary drivers. I had heard that good, gaming level performance cannot be achieved with the open source drivers

[18:51] <nashirak> I am having trouble deleting a file (as root).  I just installed a new mother board and I am getting permission denied when I try to delete the file.  In dmesg I get ata3.00: error {UNC} then ata3.00: failed command: Read DMA.  Its a reiser fs partition, if that makes a difference.  Any thoughts?
[18:53] <dylan> nashirak: what is the location of the file?
[18:53] <nashirak> dylan: /usr/share/doc/libnss3/copyright
[18:54] <nashirak> dylan: I was trying to do a apt-get upgrade and when it went to remove that package I started getting permission denied on that file.  I am stuck in apt-get limbo until this gets resolved
[18:55] <dylan> hit cntrl+c to stop the command
[18:56] <nashirak> dylan: Cntrl-C may stop the command but it doesn't fix my HDD problem.

[19:04] <kartlos> hey guys, I managed to boot ubuntu 12.04 with grub-efi, so both videocards that are in this macbook pro are detected, the problem is that both are being used, is it possible to disable one videocard?
[19:07] <dylan> nashirak: your not supposed to be able to edit user, same reason you can't edit sys

[19:28] <ThinkT510> dougl: must've recently hit the repos, ubottu doesn't see that version
[19:28] <dougl> hmmm
[19:29] <dougl> dunno much about that
[19:29] <ThinkT510> dougl: have you got some other repos activated? like a testing repo of some sort
[19:29] <Jerusalem420> hey guys, how do I get chrome to send magnet links to transmission. I'm running  Lucid Lynx  with chrome Version 21.0.1180.75 and transmission 2.33.
[19:33] <OerHeks> dougl, what is the output of ' uname -a "?
[19:33] <dougl> ThinkT510, nope - stock install with additional drivers adn the update/upgrade

[19:35] <morsnowski> hi guys, anybody an idea for a voice control app for 12.04/64?
[19:36] <dougl> morsnowski, good question
[19:37] <Edler> hey guys i want to run an ubuntu server on a mac using virtualbox. Wanted to know, is it possible for it to really act as a server even if it's a virtual os ?
[19:38] <syddraf> Edler: Yes. That's actually how most commercial server farms are setup.
[19:38] <Edler> really ?
[19:38] <Edler> so they emulate ubuntu
[19:38] <Edler> on a mac
[19:38] <Edler> ?
[19:38] <FloodBot1> Edler: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:38] <syddraf> Not specifically that, but using VMs is not at all uncommon.
[19:39] <MrGizmo757> can somebody help? i have an error SMbus not enabled. dmsg shows the driver but shows it being disabled.  how do i enable it?
[19:39] <syddraf> As long as you configure VirtualBox to pass through the network connection properly, I don't see it being an issue.
[19:39] <Edler> yes but i mean will the vm have the same IP as the mac, and someone trying to connect to FTP for example will end up connecting to the VM rather than just mac ?
[19:39] <Edler> yes that's what i'm talking about, you can make it pass the connection ?
[19:39] <syddraf> Edler: Yes. I haven't done it personally, but I know that it is possible.
[19:40] <Edler> okay and what about reboots, can Virtualbox open and run the vm on boot ?
[19:40] <syddraf> Haven't done it personally, but I don't see any reason you couldn't add VirtualBox to your startup list in mac.
[19:40] <Edler> awesome!
[19:45] <slpicker> I set the password to none. Now I have no root access. I did read the post about no root access, and it told me to go in to recovery mode. I did that. Except, it won't work?
[19:47] <bitmage> I'm trying to execute a cronjob... it runs fine from the command line but not from cron
[19:47] <bitmage> here's the command:  NODE_ENV=production /usr/local/bin/coffee /home/ubuntu/chiron/script/sendReminders >> /var/log/chiron.reminders.log
[19:48] <bitmage> I verified that cron is running and that it can execute scripts from my user's crontab
[19:48] <bitmage> I'm guessing there must be something different about the context in which it's executing the job?
[19:49] <dashavoo> does anyone have the deb for the old skype version?

[19:51] <biifer> Hi. I have some issues with screen resolution. I have 2 24" monitors giving me a resolution of 3840x1200. Under "System Settings/Displays my setup is recognized as a "Laptop" with a 3840x1200 resolution, all in one screen. The "NVIDIA X Server" program recognizes 2 different screens and the more correct resolution of 2 times 1920x1200. The problems I get are related to full screen modes in different areas, Youtube for exam
[19:51] <biifer> ple does not show full screen correct, neither does XBMC. Any suggestions?
[19:52] <disown> where is the VFS virtual file system stuff being used in ubuntu I always uses just mke2fs and /dev/sda device files where is the VFS stuff come in ?
[19:54] <disown> because I see gnome-vfs-mime-magic and other files that references the vfs
[19:55] <vyath> Hi, my machine is stuck at the four loading dots.. I think it's a gfx driver issue but I'm not sure how to proceed on fixing it. can someone please point out a direction? thanks
[19:57] <bitmage> ok, so apparently I can run bash commands with cron but cannot run coffeescript for some reason
[19:58] <bitmage> it's perms are 755... I'm scratching my head
[20:00] <necro> hello how can i change the fan speed of my toshiba laptop
[20:00] <necro> ?
[20:01] <ki4ro_> necro: think you may have to ask Toshiba
[20:01] <necro> why? isnt it just ubuntu un general?
[20:02] <necro> in#
[20:03] <viruseros92> lu!
[20:03] <ki4ro_> necro: Yes this is Ubuntu but I don't believe there would be an answer here...not sure...love to hear what you find out though because I also have a Toshiba and have never found a way
[20:03] <Konata> Is the main ubuntu repo slow again or is it just me
[20:04] <viruseros92> français??? °_O!! :(
[20:05] <necro> ki4ro_:  thanks but isnt there a program that can help me change it?
[20:05] <ki4ro_> necro: Not that I have found yet
[20:06] <necro> you see.. my problem is that sometimes the fan doesnt work when booting my computer to ubuntu and the cpu temperature gets really high
[20:06] <guntbert> !fr | viruseros92
[20:07] <necro> ki4ro_: im affraid it might get too hot and danger the processor's integrity
[20:08] <DominicLow> necro, is it possibly a hardware issue?
[20:09] <harushimo> I'm setting noip on my ubuntu. I have an option eth0 and virbr0
[20:09] <harushimo> what does that mean?
[20:09] <DominicLow> eth0 and virbr0 are your network interfaces
[20:10] <DominicLow> eth0 is commonly the ethernet port if i'm not mistaken
[20:10] <harushimo> which interface would I use?
[20:10] <harushimo> eth0 is the nic card
[20:10] <harushimo> I never heard virbr0
[20:10] <DominicLow> whichever you are using for the internets would be best i think
[20:10] <harushimo> virbr0 is for a virtual machine right
[20:10] <DominicLow> i would think so, yes
[20:11] <harushimo> that makes sense
[20:15] <Lolcust> Hi community!
[20:15] <DominicLow> hello there!
[20:16] <Lolcust> I have Ubuntu 12, and I want a particular task (specifically, restarting a service which has an odd habbit of locking up after boot on old machines) to be carried out 2 minutes after reboot
[20:16] <Lolcust> I know cron can @reboot
[20:17] <Lolcust> But AFAIK cron cannot have "delay, then fire" trickery
[20:17] <goddard> how can I repair a broken keyring in netbeans?
[20:18] <DominicLow> lolcust, i am unfamiliar with cron but do you think its possible to chain it to a .sh script that does a kill, sleep, then start?
[20:19] <Lolcust> hm, might be
[20:19] <Lolcust> I'm far better with crontab then with .sh scripts
[20:19] <wulgulmerang1> Trying to get pymacs to work.  Downloaded pymacs archive.  make check.  make install.  (I'm using a virtualenvwrapper called 'play' if that makes any difference).  edited the .emacs file.  M-x pymacs-eval > os > RET and received "Pymacs helper did not start within 30 seconds".  Help? :/
[20:19] <DominicLow> i'm very new with .sh scripts but if you know the command to start it, the sleep function syntax is sleep (number of seconds)
[20:20] <th0r> Lolcust: the script is just a list of the commands you would put in crontab...kill the service, sleep, then restart
[20:20] <Lolcust> should work, thanks
[20:20] <Lolcust> I guess it's experiment time for me
[20:20] <DominicLow> best of luck in your experimentations 8D
[20:21] <dstaubsauger> hi! I'm trying to use SITPLUS with my webcam, but it crashes when i open the webcam configuration dialog. there's an error message on the cli saying "sitplus: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/sitplus/libmod_camera.so: undefined symbol: cvCreateImageHeader". what can i do to fix this? sitplus and opencv from ubuntu repos are installed, i'm running precise.
[20:22] <disown> would people say lucid 10.4 is old if it is around 2 years old for a linux distro ?
[20:23] <mrdn> yes
[20:23] <dstaubsauger> disown: yes
[20:23] <disown> so your supposed to install a new os ever ,,,... how often ?
[20:23] <Konata> I wish that ./configure scripts would tell you all the missing dependencies instead of just failing on the first miss
[20:24] <disown> would you say to be normal
[20:24] <mrdn> depends a bit on whether you are talking about your private desktop or your company's data center
[20:24] <bekks> disown: Every two years. From LTS to next LTS :)
[20:24] <disown> ok ya, if that is most peoples beliefs then I am do for an upgrade every 2 ish years :)
[20:24] <ssmy> anyone have any experience with python 3 and cherrypy on 12.04? There doesn't seem to be a python3 package for cherrypy, even though it is compatible
[20:28] <Sidewinder1> disown, Please have a look at the difference between LTS and the regular, rolling releases that come out every 6 months or so. Choose what best meets your needs. :-)
[20:28] <royphelps> Does anyone know the best music program to install that will be closely related to itunes?

[20:31] <kevin_> hi all. so for some reason my ps3 controller's input stopped, so i unplugged it. now 'lsusb' still shows it there as device 003... why is that? it's disconnected from the system, and dmesg shows 'USB disconnect, device number 3'
[20:31] <r0tha> kevin_: what version are you using?
[20:32] <kevin_> r0tha: 12.04
[20:32] <kevin_> and this isn't the first time this has happened. it has happened with other usb devices as well
[20:32] <r0tha> where do you see lsusb?
[20:32] <r0tha> on the desktop
[20:32] <bekks> r0tha: In a terminal :)
[20:32] <r0tha> huh
[20:33] <zykotick9> kevin_: notice the disconnect - dmesg is saying you unplugged it...
[20:33] <kevin_> yeah, terminal. and this is the output of dmesg around the time where it stopped working. i was using it inside VirtualBox: https://gist.github.com/a7ed5ce55a19ddb38a97
[20:33] <kevin_> zykotick9: i  did unplug it, but lsusb still shows it's connected, and reconnecting doesnt do anything
[20:33] <zykotick9> kevin_: if it was inside vbox - i have no suggestions...
[20:34] <kevin_> and by 'doesnt do anything', i mean dmesg didn't show a "USB connect" message. just acts like nothing happened
[20:34] <disown> question I know /etc/modules you can add any module to boot up at boot time but.... I noticed with lsmod a ton that are booted up by default when the /etc/modules is empty so where are these other ones being told to boot up from
[20:35] <ThinkT510> !upstart | disown
[20:37] <disown> no I am talking about the modules that are started by default that are not put in the modules file are you saying this is in the upstart shell script to start them
[20:37] <kevin_> is there any way to "bounce" the usb host controller?
[20:39] <Vlan> hi guys
[20:39] <Vlan> i'm trying to use ubuntu with two NIC cards
[20:39] <kevin_> mmm just gonna reboot. thanks guys. cheers
[20:39] <Vlan> unfortunately at the restart the addresses get messed up among the NICs
[20:39] <Dextralus> I've been having a spot of trouble with the wireless after an upgrade to 12.04 from 10.04 on a Samsung N220. On 10.04 I had to use ndiswrapper with XP drivers to be able to connect to wireless networks, but after the upgrade this no longer works. I know where to download the windows drivers and I've been following directions outlined here (http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Networking/NdisWrapper_The_Ultimate_Guide) to no
[20:39] <Dextralus>  avail: none of the available 32-bit windows drivers seem to work, and I'm stumped.
[20:39] <FloodBot1> Dextralus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:39] <Vlan> how do i solve that?
[20:40] <tuxtux> Ciao
[20:41] <ssmy> Vlan: are you using the network manager? Maybe configure them manually in /etc/network/interfaces? Static IPs, right?
[20:42] <guntbert> Vlan: in what way do they get "messed up"?
[20:42] <zack6849> hey guys, i cant make my screens work, if i try to apply dual screens it throws an error, i wa told to change the xort.conf but that did nothing
[20:43] <necro> DominicLow:  how can i know if its a hardware issue?
[20:43] <Vlan> guntbert: i mean that i have two networks, servers and internet. when i reboot the two interfaces magically are connected both to internet
[20:44] <Dextralus> Just to clarify my previous message, wireless is not even available under all settings > network.
[20:44] <Vlan> ssmy: yes, i'm using the network manager but i also tryed with sudo gedit  /etc/network/interfaces but due to my lack of knowledge i didn't manage to do much about it
[20:44] <ThinkT510> !gksudo | Vlan
[20:44] <zack6849> L3top, can you gimme a hand man?
[20:45] <guntbert> Vlan: please use a !pastebin to show us the output of   ip add     and   ip route
[20:45] <Galvatron> Vlan:: In short, your personal configuration files might get owned by root.
[20:47] <necro> DominicLow:  how can i know if its a personal hardware issue?
[20:48] <DominicLow> necro: if you have other newer fans to temporarily replace it with, it would be a good measure to see if it is hardware of software related
[20:48] <L3top> not at the moment sorry zack6849. Giving support to 3 different folks for our project testing new code.
[20:48] <DominicLow> alternatively, perhaps use windows for a bit to see if the problem occurs at all
[20:48] <Vlan> ThinkT510: thanks for that
[20:48] <zack6849> L3top, alrighty then, ill just wait awhile
[20:49] <zack6849> anyone here who can help with issues regarding resolution?
[20:50] <BalthaTczar> someone knows a good snes emulator i can use with ubuntu that wont need to be manually compiled ?
[20:52] <ThinkT510> !find snes | BalthaTczar
[20:53] <BalthaTczar> zsnes i tried but i need to compile it first and install all kinds libraries and stuff
[20:53] <BalthaTczar> bsnes maybe
[20:54] <ThinkT510> BalthaTczar: compile? it's in the repos
[20:54] <BalthaTczar> so where do  i get it ?
[20:54] <BalthaTczar> apt-get zsnes ?
[20:54] <ThinkT510> BalthaTczar: sudo apt-get install zsnes
[20:55] <hans_> How would one contact canonical's legal department? I want to make them aware of a copyright infringment and scammer.
[20:55] <disown> wtf is the popularity-contest.conf popularity-contest in general for ?
[20:55] <BalthaTczar> ah right..
[20:56] <zykotick9> BalthaTczar: if you are on 64bit zsnes might be an issue...
[20:56] <ssmy> disown: popularity contest reports your installed packages to here: http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ Disabled by default

[20:57] <stinky> i already have cowsay
[20:57] <Dextralus> Hi, my apologies if this constitues spamming - is there a more appropriate channel for my problem with the wireless? If not, I'll try again in a couple hours.
[20:58] <disown> stinky no :)
[20:58] <ThinkT510> Dextralus: what wireless do you have?
[20:58] <palisade> hi ugys
[20:58] <Vlan> Galvatron, guntbert: thank you guys, i solved by binding each network to its own MAC address
[20:58] <Ubunturific> any one running cairo-dock?
[20:59] <guntbert> !yay | Vlan
[20:59] <ThinkT510> Ubunturific: you probably are
[21:00] <Dextralus> ThinkT510, not quite sure what you mean - I know that the machine in question has a RTL8192E if that's what you mean.
[21:00] <palisade> hey i wanted to make a recommendation for future versions of ubuntu.... instead of copying and installing individual files/packages from the cd/dvd why not just dd a whole system image already prepared, and then add extra drivers and /etc config files on top of that as needed?
[21:00] <Dextralus> The windows drivers are not working through ndiswrapper on 12.04 though previously did for 10.04
[21:00] <ThinkT510> Dextralus: can you pastebin lspci
[21:01] <Dextralus> Sure. Might take a few moments
[21:02] <luftikuss> palisade: hi!
[21:02] <palisade> hi
[21:02] <disown> can one uses rc.local and add exec commands to it to run a anything they want on startup if like most times the startup is multiuser
[21:03] <palisade> any thoughts on my suggestion?
[21:03] <guntbert> palisade: you will not reach any developers here
[21:03] <palisade> oh woops

[21:04] <cagrigurleyuk> hello
[21:04] <palisade> do i go to #ubuntu-dev or something?
[21:04] <hans_> palisade: try suggesting it on brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[21:04] <zack6849> can somone help e? im having an issue with my monitor setup and ive read quite a few articles and nothing seems to help
[21:04] <palisade> oh ok sounds good
[21:04] <guntbert> palisade: you could try #ubuntu-discuss though
[21:04] <hippiehacker> If I want to develop standard modifications to Unity (and Ubuntu in general) on a system (and per user basis). Should I be using gconf or dconf? The Unity UI seems to use both.
[21:04] <cagrigurleyuk> do you know by what mechanism the sidebar color changes through wallpaper change?
[21:05] <ThinkT510> Dextralus: try this: sudo modprobe r8192e_pci
[21:07] <Dextralus> ThinkT510, WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release
[21:07] <Dextralus> ... However, then my wireless connected immediately. Thanks a ton!
[21:07] <ThinkT510> Dextralus: no need for ndiswrapper
[21:07] <Dextralus> Fantastic
[21:08] <zack6849> guys, i really would appreciate any help greatly, ive been trying to fix this for days
[21:08] <ThinkT510> Dextralus: you may want to bookmark this page for future reference: http://www.linux-radar.net/linux-ubuntu-1204-realtek-rtl8192e-wifi-card-working-1204.html
[21:08] <ThinkT510> !xorgconf | zack6849
[21:08] <disown> rc.local well I guess you could uses any script executed on start up to get the job done... but of course you would have to trace down where in the line up it is executed from :)
[21:09] <Dextralus> Ah you know, never even occurred to me to search by the card rather than the machine! Thanks again, ThinkT510.
[21:09] <ThinkT510> Dextralus: no worries :)
[21:09] <cagrigurleyuk> would anyone know by what mechanism the unity sidebar color changes through wallpaper change?
[21:14] <palisade> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/30039/
[21:14] <palisade> there thanks i submitted the idea to the brainstorm site
[21:14] <ThinkT510> palisade: dd would ignore partitions
[21:15] <palisade> you could partition those afterwards
[21:15] <palisade> it would be a base system image
[21:15] <ThinkT510> palisade: don't you mean before?
[21:15] <DominicLow> would installing it as a dual boot system raise any problems though? not that familiar with dd
[21:15] <palisade> nope because the partition would be laid out in the image so it would be a raw copy with dd
[21:16] <cagrigurleyuk> palisade: what if I'd like my /usr on a different partition?
[21:16] <palisade> straight from disc to hdd
[21:16] <zack6849> im gonna go try the solution ThinkT510 provided
[21:16] <palisade> cagrigurleyuk: it could move that for you after the fact
[21:16] <zack6849> *crosses fingers*
[21:16] <palisade> but it'd still be faster than installing individual packages for a majority of users
[21:17] <three18ti> !ask
[21:17] <three18ti> !ask | /msg Atty
[21:18] <guntbert> !askthebot > three18ti
[21:18] <Dr_Willis> three18ti:  use just | or > to redirect the msgs ;)
[21:18] <three18ti> awesome, thanks.
[21:19] <three18ti> !ask > Atty
[21:20] <ThinkT510> palisade: if you dd an image how are you going to select the partition type or size?
[21:21] <ReZa__Ata> Fibanezr  wlc
[21:21] <ThinkT510> palisade: the partition layout has to be there before you copy the data over
[21:21] <palisade> ThinkT510: it gets selected before the image is made so the image is already prepared with a default partition type and size... it would have to be expanded afterwards with parted to reach the size that matches their hdd, but the image would be small enough to fit on most common hard drives today, there could be a second disc that still copies individual packages if the user prefers that i suppose and has a smaller hdd
[21:21] <zack_> ThinkT510, that solution didnt work :(
[21:21] <palisade> the layout is in the image itself
[21:22] <ReZa__Ata> Gringo54   wlc
[21:22] <dmc_> irc://irc.darksin.net/oltrevision
[21:22] <ThinkT510> palisade: thats a backwards way of doing it
[21:22] <palisade> ThinkT510: yes and also faster :)
[21:23] <palisade> because the individual packages don't have to be configured, individual files copied into individual directories, etc
[21:23] <ReZa__Ata> Dmc_   wlc
[21:23] <zack_> ThinkT510, i get the follwing error
[21:23] <cagrigurleyuk> palisade: that would also increase the installer image size considerably. i don't think you can keep packages in the same format for installing as a disk image and regular installing.
[21:23] <palisade> its a raw copy and is as fast as their hard drive and bus can handle
[21:23] <ThinkT510> palisade: so you'd need multiple images for each partition type (xfs, ext2/3/4, btrfs)
[21:23] <zack_> "requested position/size for CRTC 147 is outside the allowed limit: position=(1280, 0), size=(1920, 1080), maximum=(1920, 1920)"
[21:24] <guntbert> palisade: may I suggest you move that to #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic? this channel here is for support
[21:24] <ReZa__Ata> Palisade  u?
[21:24] <ThinkT510> palisade: and the time taken to resize after the fact would increase the risk
[21:24] <palisade> ThinkT510: you'd choose one, anyone wanting a different file system would use the other disc that installs individual packages
[21:24] <ReZa__Ata> Gringo54 wlc
[21:24] <palisade> ThinkT510: but for the raw image copy it would be a default file system
[21:24] <palisade> guntbert: sure no problem
[21:25] <ReZa__Ata> Nicole  wlc
[21:26] <nicole> Hello, I am trying to reinstall FrostWire on Xubuntu, but when I remove all the installed files with Synaptic and then reinstall using the DEB file, all the settings come back the same.  How do I remove the configuration settings to reinstall from scratch?
[21:27] <DominicLow> try to check your home folders for hidden folders that may contain configuration files?
[21:28] <zack_> i still reie an error when turnin  on my seond monitor, tellling me its too big, my xort conf is right here :http://pastebin.com/dzgj2FEi
[21:28] <Dr_Willis> nicole:  you mean your USER settings?
[21:28] <Dr_Willis> nicole:  or system wide configs?
[21:29] <nicole> I just went into the file manager and yeah there is a hidden .frostwire5 folder apparently, I just deleted it, going to try to reinstall again see if that works...
[21:29] <Dr_Willis> nicole:  reinstalling a package does NOT reset the USERS settings files...
[21:29] <nicole> there is only one user account on the system
[21:29] <Dr_Willis> nicole:  to repeate.. removeing and reinstlling a package.. will NOT reset, or fix any issues in the users home dir setting files..
[21:30] <k1l> Dr_Willis: she did remove the .folder
[21:30] <nicole> yes give me a minute or two to see if it works, thanks
[21:30] <Dr_Willis> removeing the settinghs dir - will reset the users settings. :)
[21:30] <k1l> Dr_Willis: that is what she wanted. read backlog
[21:31] <Dr_Willis> theres no need to 'reinstall from scratch' is the point im trying to make.. its a 'windows mentality' thang.
[21:31] <zack_> os[Linux 3.2.0-29-generic-pae i686] distro[Ubuntu "precise" 12.04] cpu[4 x AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor (AuthenticAMD) @ 800MHz] mem[Physical: 11.8GB, 93.4% free] disk[Total: 206.5GB, 83.5% free] video[Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Barts XT [ATI Radeon HD 6800 Series]] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB1: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic]
[21:31] <zack_> oops
[21:31] <k1l> ok. that is a good point so
[21:31] <cagrigurleyuk> would aynone know by what mechanism the sidebar color changes through wallpaper change? i'd like my gnome-terminal color to change with it as well.
[21:32] <nicole> lol yes I'm still new and use too much MS terms :-(
[21:32] <c_smith> cagrigurleyuk, I don't believe that last part is possible, as the Unity Sidebar partly does that with Compiz.
[21:33] <cagrigurleyuk> c_smith: everything is possible with a little bit of code, or so i believe. i'm just curious about the mechanism tbh.
[21:34] <nicole> yes!  it worked, thanks!  I just needed to delete the hidden folder, it didn't show up using "whereis frostwire" in Terminal after I uninstalled
[21:34] <c_smith> cagrigurleyuk, yes, part of the mechanism is Compiz, not sure about what else, though.
[21:34] <crimsonmane> Greetings. I am using a dual-boot, Maverick on one HD, WinXP on another. The windows side has become infected with a virus (malware/spyware, pick a term these days right?). What is the best approach to clean the windows side? I scanned that HD with ClamAV but nothing turned up.
[21:35] <nicole> Microsoft has a free malware scanner now for Windows
[21:36] <crimsonmane> you don't understand. the windows side is not usable, even in safe mode
[21:36] <xangua> crimsonmane: for windows support /join ##windows
[21:36] <k1l> crimsonmane: honestly i would consider to backup the files an make a reinstall since you never know where the vidus is located all about.
[21:36] <crimsonmane> xangua, it's actually ubuntu support, since i'm using ubuntu, isn't it?
[21:36] <nicole> oh that sucks, scan it using a live CD?
[21:37] <crimsonmane> nicole, that's no different than using the ubuntu HD in my dual boot setup
[21:37] <nicole> I'm not fond of ClamAV either, I can't get it to scan individual directories
[21:38] <nicole> I have dual-boot Windows Vista / Xubuntu here
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> clamscan directoryname   ?
[21:38] <nicole> using Wubi
[21:38] <crimsonmane> nicole, you need ClamTk to go with it. i don't like that it doesn't just do a system scan, i have to pick each directory.
[21:38] <cagrigurleyuk> crimsonname: i've yet to see an av software that works as intended, just backup whatever you need from the ubuntu side, reinstall.
[21:38] <snow__> is there any need to install antivirus on linux
[21:38] <crimsonmane> OH FOUND THE VIRUS! in programs folder!
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> snow__:  to scan widnows stuff... ;)
[21:39] <snow__> There seems no reason to use windows
[21:39] <crimsonmane> there really isn'
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> snow__:  games.. ;)
[21:39] <crimsonmane> t
[21:39] <zack_> can someone please take a look at this for me? it would be greatly appreciated http://pastebin.com/mhz5zFHp
[21:39] <nicole> yes you can always go through manually and search google for suspicious-looking filenames to see if they're legit or spam
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> zack_: always a good idea to at least give a summary of the isue.
[21:40] <zack_> the whole issue is described there Dr_Willis
[21:40] <Dr_Willis> zack_:  and if you expect people to just flock there when you cant even give a 5 word summary of what the problem is about... well.. dont expect many to go there.
[21:40] <zack_> ive summarized it so many times that ive grown tired of explaining it so many times!
[21:40] <Dr_Willis> Printer? networking? wireless?
[21:40] <zack_> it won''t allow me to so my screen resolution for my second monitor
[21:41] <zack_> it throws an error and refuxes to work
[21:41] <bonez2046> where can I find a hardware compatibility list, need to see if a video card I have (diamond stealth 3d 2000 pro s3virge) will work on ubuntu
[21:41] <zack_> yes im using the driver for amd, yes ive looked at the xort page
[21:41] <crimsonmane> Dr_Willis, you're a prick :) it took two seconds to check his link. you could easily put forth that extra effort you're telling zack to do. he's not a pro like you.
[21:41] <khamul666> I have problem
[21:41] <Dr_Willis> crimsonmane:  90% of the time im on my cell phone and CANT check web sites..
[21:41] <khamul666> my wireless wont work
[21:41] <khamul666> can somebody help me
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> many othere are at work and cant go to many sites.
[21:42] <zack_> crimsonmane, although it seemed as if hje was being a tad harsh he was right, i should have at east said what the issue was
[21:42] <crimsonmane> zack_, future reference, sure.
[21:43] <khamul666> can somebody help me
[21:43] <zack_> so does anyone know what my problem is? Dx
[21:43] <bonez2046> also, how do I find driver?
[21:43] <Dr_Willis> zack_:  last week someone had an issue/limit with the ati drivers where the max allowable res of the drivers for the 2 monitors combned in the X or Y was higher then what they wnated. they could do the 2 monitors on top of each other, but not left/right
[21:43] <zack_> Dr_Willis, that was me
[21:43] <khamul666> dont install drivers
[21:43] <zack_> see my point?
[21:43] <khamul666> they just mess up
[21:43] <Dr_Willis> zack_:  so it does work vertically?
[21:43] <zack_> i've been here since last week trying to fix this, yet i cant
[21:44] <khamul666> they mess up pc
[21:44] <BenLue> hi Fabias
[21:44] <zack_> Dr_Willis, it dooesnt een work vertically anymore
[21:44] <Dr_Willis> zack_:  any more?  You broke it even worse. ;P
[21:44] <khamul666> unnistal ati drivers
[21:44] <zack_> the solution the last guy  provided that allowed the verical thing wasnt correct for my driver
[21:44] <khamul666> they just mess up everything
[21:47] <Dextralus> Hi, sorry to be quite so needy with the assistance today. Someone helped me out earlier with my wireless problem, directing me to this page (http://www.linux-radar.net/linux-ubuntu-1204-realtek-rtl8192e-wifi-card-working-1204.html); however, I don't know exactly what to remove from my blacklist so that I don't have to enter sudo modprobe r8192e_pci after every reboot
[21:48] <Dextralus> To clarify I use a samsung n220 rather than the author's n130
[21:50] <salman> W4sp:?
[21:51] <DominicLow> dextralus: it should be the same two lines to remove i think
[21:51] <Dextralus> paste.ubuntu.com/1134801/ this is my blacklist file
[21:51] <in0cula> hi, it is possible to get a virus with wine? i accidentalli open an .EXE file from my mail, do you think is going to infect my system?
[21:51] <Dextralus> DominicLow, I would have thought so; however, they aren't there
[21:52] <salman> in0cula: just don't run it
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> in0cula:  worse case it messed up files in your home dir or the .wine directory.
[21:52] <salman> W4sp: you there?
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> in0cula:  ive ran malware in wine (in a test account) just to see what it does. ;)
 I accidentally already run
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> in0cula:  or ran silly wrapper executables to get out the image/wallpaper/other junk the wife wanted.
[21:52] <DominicLow> dextralus: very strange. perhaps a system-wide search for such a file?
[21:53] <in0cula> can I be safe?
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> in0cula:  check whats in your wine directrory. see what was recently made . or just delete your wine dir.
[21:53] <in0cula> how do i know everything right?
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> in0cula:  did it actuall run?
[21:53] <zack_> http://pastebin.com/mhz5zFHp im not trying to spam the channel, i jsut really need help!
[21:54] <in0cula> it run but wine tell me there was an error
[21:54] <bekks> in0cula: By deleting and recreating your wine directory.
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> in0cula:  when in doubt. delet  the .wine dir.
[21:54] <in0cula> if i delete the wine dir my software?
[21:54] <Dextralus> Er woops, transcription error, my blacklist file is actually paste.ubuntu.com/1143801/
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> in0cula:  any windows apps you installed via wine are stored in .wine
[21:55] <snow__> is there any pdf annotating app for ubuntu
[21:56] <in0cula> i cannot delete my wine dir, i will lost all my software
[21:56] <bekks> Then you cant be safe.
[21:57] <in0cula> is there an ativirus for wine?
[21:57] <bekks> No.
[21:57] <bekks> You could run clamav from linux, but I doubt that will give you 100% security.
[21:57] <in0cula> is there a way to analyze the file I get to see what it does?
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> how much wine software do you really need?
[21:58] <Dextralus> World of Warcraft >.>
[21:59] <Dr_Willis> other then a few apps. i rarely need wine to run stuff..
[21:59] <Roasted> Hello!
[21:59] <W4sp> salman: Yes, I'm in.
[21:59] <Roasted> Question - I'm trying to do borderless printing to an HP Laserjet I have... I'm not seeing the option anywhere... anybody know offhand?
[22:00] <fede> holaa! / hi :)
[22:00] <gunarm> i just built a brand new tower to be a file server, I have 8x2tb drives, my plan was to do 1 to 1 mirroring while keeping them in a single large 8tb pool. First I was thinking RAID, but I dont know much implementation wise, and everything I read makes it sound so dangerous as to not be worth it.  Then I started thinking LVM 4 of them together and just do direct mirroring of each, but LVM mirroring techniques seems to be a complex topic on
[22:00] <gunarm>  its own, and its commonly suggested to do LVM on top of RAID, so back to that.  What is the risk of doing 4 Raid1s?
[22:01] <fede> is somebody here??
[22:01] <gunarm> compared to one giant raid5 or 6
[22:01] <fede> i'm new LOL
[22:01] <fede> I need help for compile an app
[22:01] <Dr_Willis> fede:  1569 People here...
[22:01] <fede> lol, HI !!
[22:02] <fede> I can't Install Play on Linux and I don't know why, I  use the command prompt to do it, i write this: sudo apt-get install playonlinux
[22:03] <fede> and the system recognyse it, but it doesn't finish the download/install process because my connection i shorrible (2000 B/S, yes, Bytes!!!)
[22:04] <DominicLow> gunarm: only issue i can see is in terms of space efficiency i think
[22:04] <fede> is there some other  way for install it?? thanks for listen me ;) I'm new on this
[22:04] <Dr_Willis> fede:  you can just install wine, and not use playonlinux,  or install wine first. that will get part of the stuff downloaded at least.
[22:05] <Dr_Willis> playonlinux wants to pull in  146mb of extra packages here..   You could try to install them one at a time.. ugh..
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> heh. wine wants 145mb of packages.. :) guess playonlinux is 1mb..
[22:06] <fede> yes, I know it, but I can't download iit!!!!
[22:06] <fede> LOL
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> fede:  not a lot we can do about your poor internet connection. There was a apt-torrent tool. but i dont know if its even supported/working any more
[22:07] <fede> I have a bad luck on this days xD sorry for my english, but I'm from Uruguay, so I just speak spanish :D
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> !info debtorrent
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> No idea how well debtorrent works
[22:08] <fede> ok, later i want to test it :)
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> !info apt-transport-debtorrent
[22:08] <fede> sorry for the help :)
[22:08] <fede> oh, i want ask you some thing
[22:09] <Roasted> Question - I'm trying to do borderless printing to an HP Laserjet I have... I'm not seeing the option anywhere... anybody know offhand?
[22:09] <fede> the play on linuux, is because I want to play angry birds on my laptop (when I was used windows, on this lapptop) and I can't play now on Linux Ubuntu with wine, I want to Kill me !!!
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> fede:  google+ has angrybirds that can play in a browser.
[22:11] <fede> Yes, I know it, but i Haven't internet connection on my house, so i never can PLay, now I'm on the +house of my best friend :S
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> http://chrome.angrybirds.com/
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> perhaps a flash offline downloader tool..
[22:11] <WeThePeople> does anybody know how to expand a ubuntu partition from unallocated space on the harddrive
[22:12] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  expand one using Unallocated space? gparted from a live cd - is the normal tool people use.
[22:12] <fede> ohhh yes! install to play offline!!!! I love u LOL
[22:12] <WeThePeople> dr_willis, tried gparted.. it doesnt have a function to do that
[22:13] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  Im not clear on what you want then.. if i   have (sda1 100gb) (sda unallocated)    then gparted can resize sda1
[22:13] <l1nr007> Hello,..does anyone know why line #247 is not working .. here is the code: http://pastebin.com/sTGXZWv5 it's not perfect.. but it does the job ;) the goal is installing the gnome-shell themes
[22:13] <gunarm> WeThePeople, i thought gparted could do it, if not just try other partition editors in synaptic
[22:14] <WeThePeople> gunarm, it only can decrease the partition
[22:14] <DominicLow> wethepeople, did you try it off a livecd or directly while you are still on your os?
[22:14] <Dr_Willis> Ive enlarged partitons all the time with gparted.
[22:14] <gunarm> WeThePeople, is there unalocated space?
[22:14] <gunarm> adjacent
[22:14] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople: a pastebin of your fdisk -l output may be helpfull..
[22:14] <fede> so, is there some way for download Play on Linux on other pc (Windows) and then install it on my PC???
[22:14] <WeThePeople> dominiclow, i used a live cd
[22:14] <WeThePeople> gunarm, yes
[22:15] <WeThePeople> dr_willis, ok
[22:15] <fede> I have installed just ubuntu on my pc, I uninstall windows ;)
[22:15] <mpereira> i'm trying to set keybindings with gsettings under ubuntu 12.04 without success. for example, this doesn't work: `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings move-to-workspace-up "['<Shift><Alt>K']"`. if i run `gsettings monitor` before running that command if outputs me the supposed change. also, configuring the keybindings through the GUI works just fine
[22:16] <gunarm> fede, i dont think anyone knows about using Play on Linux
[22:16] <mpereira> i've used gsettings successfully to change the text scaling factor i.e. `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.2`
[22:16] <mpereira> what am i doing wrong?
[22:16] <WeThePeople> dr_willis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1143840
[22:16] <fede> Let me explain, it's an application (O
[22:16] <Roasted> Question - I'm trying to do borderless printing to an HP Laserjet I have... I'm not seeing the option anywhere... anybody know offhand?
[22:16] <fede> (Plugin)
[22:17] <fede> for wine, that have libraries (like directx, etc)} that it do that we can playwindows
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  so what one are you wanting to expand? wheres the unallocated space?
[22:17] <fede> games on Linux
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> fede:  playonlionux is just a fancy front end to 'Wine'
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> !wine | fede
[22:18] <fede> i don't uin
[22:18] <WeThePeople> dr_willis, i will show you gparted gui.. is there a paste bin for images?
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> !screenshot
[22:18] <fede> understand, so I can't  play my games on !wine ?
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  your 2 linux partions are logicals Inside an Extended.. the windows one is a Primary..
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> fede:  wine is what lets you run windows apps on linux
[22:19] <fede> yes, i know it, but play on linux is an extension of wine, that have libraries, understand?? :S
[22:19] <system055> no drinking please.
[22:19] <nb-ben> Dr_Willis it does a little more than that
[22:19] <zack6849> would it get me help any faster if i had teamviwer?
[22:19] <fede> and it have directx and many others, that with a normal installation doesn't work
[22:19] <system055> stay sober
[22:19] <WeThePeople> dr_willis, is it possible to extend a logical partition
[22:20] <nb-ben> Dr_Willis: it arranges to install additional plugins and selects the correct WINE version for the game
[22:20] <MonkeyDust> WeThePeople  if you use lvm
[22:20] <nb-ben> or application, seeing as it doesn't only contain games
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  with space from the primary? You have to first shrink the primary, then expand the extended I think., THEN add the space from the extened into the logicals
[22:20] <WeThePeople> monkeydust, sudo apt-get install lvm ?
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  i always use primary partions  to avoide this.
[22:20] <nb-ben> gnome3 looks kind of nice
[22:21] <nb-ben> anyone tried it with ubuntu so far
[22:21] <MonkeyDust> WeThePeople  start here http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm
[22:21] <fede> nb-ben this is I say, it's a  like a plugin, that apport more compatiblility, no??
[22:22] <nb-ben> fede: it is just piecing already-made software together
[22:22] <Debolaz> nb-ben: I hear some say they like it a lot, but I just find it too difficult to get into the flow I'm supposed to use. There's very little in terms of guidance and it feels very unintuitive.
[22:22] <nb-ben> fede: it's like a WINE version/plugin selector
[22:22] <WeThePeople> dr_willis, i shrunk the primary, and gparted made the unalocated space.. if that makes sense
[22:22] <WeThePeople> made it*
[22:23] <fede> Ok, :) Linuxsers :D Do where are you from??
[22:23] <WeThePeople> monkeydust, thanks
[22:23] <fbh> The moon
[22:23] <nb-ben> Debolaz: I see.. so far from youtube videos I really liked the cleanness of it, no attempt at making very fancy graphical UI which I also like
[22:23] <fede> LOL, why not from Mars??
[22:24] <Dr_Willis> WeThePeople:  yes. Makes sence to me.
[22:24] <nb-ben> Debolaz I kind of dislike this play with "lights" they do using gradients, which gnome3 doesn't seem to make use of
[22:25] <Debolaz> nb-ben: Visually, it's very neat looking. Certainly more attractive than Unity. But it all depends on if you can get into the workflow that it's designed for.
[22:25] <fede> bye bye, I need go :S Good Luck for all :)
[22:25] <nb-ben> if you can get into emacs you can get into anything
[22:25] <Debolaz> nb-ben: Valid point. :-)
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> 'emacs is a great OS, all it needs is a nice text editor'
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> ;P
[22:26] <Debolaz> nb-ben: Give it a go, only way to find out.
[22:28] <nb-ben> I am :)
[22:29] <Artemis3> nb-ben, and when you enter reason, go with xfce :)
[22:29] <nb-ben> netinstalling a fresh ubuntu now on my new HD thru a VM
[22:30] <nb-ben> meh didn't like xfce, though I guess it probably changed since a few years ago
[22:30] <fbh> And when you get tired of XFCE; because you will. Look at Awesome :p
[22:31] <nb-ben> looks like xfce hasn't changed much
[22:31] <Artemis3> nb-ben, its a classic desktop, thats the point; but you can try 4.10.
[22:32] <nb-ben> classic desktop you can manufacture using almost any window manager
[22:32] <nb-ben> what attracts me is this new elegant gnome3 UI
[22:32] <Gonzo> i installed ubuntu from windows using the installer which seeems to have created a partition within my ntfs partition. it is only 18 gigs and i am sort of running out space. is there a way that i can resize that partition?
[22:33] <DominicLow> gonzo, defrag your windows, then using live cd, use gparted to adjust
[22:33] <Gonzo> i cant boot on a live cd

[22:33] <Dextralus> Hello, I'm still having a bit of trouble with my wireless. After following the directions at http://www.linux-radar.net/linux-ubuntu-1204-realtek-rtl8192e-wifi-card-working-1204.html I still experience loss of wireless function after reboot as the suggested lines in the blacklist file are not present (I use a Samsung N220 rather than N130). This is my blacklist: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1143801/
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> Gonzo:  you did a wubi install? theres ways to resize/enlarge it.. but If you are using wubi that much. a full normal install mey be a better idea
[22:33] <Gonzo> its a crappy notebook, there's no cd and the sd won't allow me to boot from it
[22:33] <Gonzo> wubi install correct
[22:34] <LuizsecBrazil> agum brasileiro
[22:34] <Gonzo> yeah a normal installl would clearly be better,
[22:34] <nb-ben> Gonzo there's gparted for windows
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk
[22:34] <nb-ben> iirc
[22:34] <Dextralus> I did remove ndiswrapper per the instructions offered by leokemps at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1701070
[22:34] <Gonzo> but im trying to avoid reinstalling
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> theres tools to convert a wubi install into a normal install..  Or so i hear. ;)
[22:34] <Gonzo> nb-ben,  cool and it will detect the linux partition that probably resides in a file on disk?
[22:34]  * ksksal LISTEN :: radio URL: http://playbackfm.listen2myradio.com
[22:35] <Gonzo> Dr_Willis,  you dont happen to know what that tool is?
[22:35] <nb-ben> Gonzo nope, I was wrong
[22:35] <nb-ben> Gonzo you can boot it from USB though
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> Gonzo:  nope. I dont touch wubi at all..
[22:35] <Gonzo> nope this computer wont allow me to boot from usb, its freakin painful
[22:35] <Gonzo> they've embeded the rescue disk in the machine
[22:35] <nb-ben> and you have no CD drive?
[22:35] <Gonzo> and that just formats the whole thing and re-install windows
[22:35] <Gonzo> nope its a notebook
[22:36] <nb-ben> hah
[22:36] <Gonzo> and im kind of lost in the colombian jungle
[22:36] <nb-ben> well, if you have grub
[22:36] <Gonzo> there is grub
[22:36] <nb-ben> actually
[22:36] <nb-ben> why not just boot into your linux
[22:36] <nb-ben> and run gparted from there
[22:36] <nb-ben> oh, cause u can't shrink it then
[22:36] <Gonzo> hmmm let me check if that works
[22:36] <nb-ben> don't it won't
[22:36] <nb-ben> lol
[22:37] <Gonzo> gotta wait for texlive to finish installing anyway
[22:37] <Gonzo> dont have gparted
[22:38] <minashokry> Hello, while upgrading my server from ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 I had problems and now many packages are left unconfigured. when I run "dpkg-reconfigure -a" I see a message from AddUser package asking about home directories privacy, whatever I answer yes or no, it appears again repeatedly. Anyone can help?
[22:38] <nb-ben> read this Gonzo: http://gparted.org/livehd.php
[22:38] <nb-ben> you will need to create a new partition for gparted though
[22:38] <nb-ben> through your linux
[22:38] <Gonzo> ah nice
[22:38] <Gonzo> thx
[22:38] <nb-ben> nevermind
[22:39] <nb-ben> erase
[22:39] <nb-ben> i am confusing you
[22:39] <Gonzo> well i think i get the idea, it sounds like something that could work
[22:39] <nb-ben> it has instruction about booting gparted from iso, you should do that
[22:39] <zack6849> nb-ben, can you give me a hand by any chance? im having an issue where my monitors wont both work on ubuntu
[22:39] <zack6849> sudo bash minecraft_installer.sh --install-clien
[22:39] <zack6849> oops
[22:39] <nb-ben> zack6849 what graphics card do you have

[22:41] <nb-ben> I found this on google
[22:41] <zack6849> no, nb-ben they work in mirror
[22:41] <zack6849> they wont work in dual mode though
[22:41] <zack6849> please read this
[22:41] <zack6849> http://pastebin.com/mhz5zFHp
[22:41] <nb-ben> do you have Open ATI driver?
[22:41] <nb-ben> because if you do, then using their GUI you can change it like you can in Windows
[22:42] <seeitbelieveit> Hi I am looking for some tools to unlock a drive from a laptop, laptop is dead, have password, which tools do you recommend, I have not gotten far with hdparm is there anything else?
[22:42] <zack6849> im using the one from additional drivers
[22:42] <zack6849> the proprietary
[22:42] <nb-ben> did you follow my link?
[22:42] <zack6849> your link is if it wasnt detecting my display
[22:42] <zack6849> it detects just fine
[22:43] <nb-ben> it is?
[22:43] <zack6849> it even will mirror
[22:43] <zack6849> thats what it says...

[22:43] <ActionParsnip> seeitbelieveit: ubuntu can mount most partition types. Is it NTFS?
[22:43] <Roasted> so, each job I print comes through as 0k in size and never prints. uhh????
[22:43] <nb-ben> if you follow this link and still don't know where to go in order to change it from duplicate displays towards extending displays
[22:43] <nb-ben> I cannot help you.
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: what printer?
[22:43] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, HP Laserjet 2100TN
[22:43] <OerHeks> zack6849, you made a typo i think >>> outside the allowed limit: position=(1280, 0), size=(1920, 1080), maximum=(1920, 1920)  <<<< last entry should be 1920, 1080
[22:43] <nb-ben> you should follow that link
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: why not say that instead of the worthless 'uhhh?' thing?
[22:44] <nb-ben> seeing as it includes suffice information for your own problem
[22:44] <nb-ben> sufficient *
[22:44] <zack6849> OerHeks, i never typed that, thats the default generated
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: the make and model of the printer is the most useful information you could give...
[22:44] <zack6849> nb-ben,  when i open it it says i need to launch as superuser
[22:44] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, please accept my most sincere apologies.
[22:44] <nb-ben> well, then type in your password
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: do you have the latest HPLIP?
[22:45] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, no idea. Whatever is in 12.04. I didn't do anything special to install this. It's a networked printer.
[22:45] <OerHeks> zack6849, you know how to use sudo.
[22:45] <zack6849> brb
[22:45] <nb-ben> he doesn't need to, it will just ask him for a password
[22:45] <zack6849> nb-ben, it didnt originally
[22:45] <zack6849> there were 2 different versions
[22:45] <zack6849> administrative and normal
[22:46] <zack6849> i never saw the admin one
[22:46] <nb-ben> I see
[22:46] <Guest61879> hello
[22:47] <Guest61879> im a new ubuntu user
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: grab the latest hplip run file from the hplip site and install it, then remove the printer and reboot, then re-add the printer
[22:47] <nb-ben> welcome to ubuntu Guest61879
[22:48] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, for what it's worth, it worked fine until I tried to set my page size to less than 8.5 by 11.
[22:49] <Brasil_Hackers> hacker anonymous fudeo com o linux o ubuntu
[22:49] <nb-ben> Brasil_Hackers: I'm not impressed.
[22:51] <djzn> hi,i wanted to know if I can prevent from applications to "inherit" the top bar in unity when they are maximized as well as get rid of the global menu
[22:51] <Brasil_Hackers> ddos
[22:51] <system055> linux for this one dell dimension 1100
[22:52] <carlos-linux> hi all, can you tell me how to remove unity completely without any errors or something like that?
[22:52] <nb-ben> djzn you can
[22:52] <nb-ben> I think it's in compiz settings
[22:53] <nb-ben> you should see a unity settings icon
[22:53] <nb-ben> if it's not there then it's somewhere else in the settings
[22:54] <zack6849> nb-ben, THANK YOU SO MUCH
[22:54] <nb-ben> np zack6849
[22:54] <nb-ben> I was once in your boat
[22:54] <nb-ben> lol
[22:54] <zack6849> i feel pretty dumb sincie ive been trying to make this wok for about 3 days
[22:54] <zack6849> >_>
[22:54] <zack6849> then it took you like 5 seconds on google
[22:54] <nb-ben> as I said, I was once in your boat
[22:54] <nb-ben>  so I knew what to look for
[22:54] <gurjeet> Hi all, I have just successfully installed 12.04 on MacBook Pro 9,1. And I need some help to tweak the experience.
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: could try setting it back...
[22:54] <zack6849> seeet!
[22:55] <zack6849> it even lets me do the large resolutions
[22:55] <zack6849> thanks man!
[22:55] <nb-ben> dw about it ;p
[22:58] <zack6849> now what do i do.
[22:58] <zack6849> xD
[22:58] <zack6849> i've been trying to toy around with ubuntu to learn the ropes and such
[22:58] <zack6849> anything i should check out?
[22:58] <gurjeet> First off, the MBP is hot from CPU. If I run MacOS X the machine remains cold to touch, but withing 10 minutes of booting into Ubuntu, the laptop turns hot.
[23:00] <nb-ben> zack6849 I find that if you look for something to do with ubuntu you'll probably find it boring
[23:00] <nb-ben> instead you should look into doing things using it
[23:00] <djzn> nb-ben, which setting
[23:00] <nb-ben> dj look for unity in your start menu
[23:00] <Roasted> gurjeet, that could be related to the fact that OSX tells the system when to cool down prior to it needing it, whereas Ubuntu is more of a reactive type - System heats up, THEN afterwards Ubuntu says cool down.
[23:00] <nb-ben> or compiz if you can't find unity
[23:01] <Roasted> gurjeet, side effect of Apple hardware, to be honest.
[23:01] <gurjeet> How do I make sure that the CPU fan is running fine.
[23:01] <gurjeet> Roasted: Please excuse me. Just got on a call.
[23:03] <Pessimist> What are some good apps like Minitube?
[23:03] <zack6849> nb-ben, the only thing that i can think of to do is play with java coding
[23:03] <zack6849> and run my servers
[23:04] <OerHeks> gurjeet, did you check the mactel pages ? i believe there is a PPA for fancontrol
[23:04] <zack6849> i do those on windows usually
[23:04] <licnep> since upgrade to 12.04 when i switch to tty1 (ctrl-alt-f1) and then back to tty7 the display is hugely offset, i can only see a small stripe of my desktop. Anyone got this issue? any ideas?
[23:04] <nb-ben> zack6849: you could download Heroes of Newerth too ;)
[23:05] <zack6849> nb-ben,  not ound in software center
[23:05] <nb-ben> http://heroesofnewerth.com
[23:05] <bunjee> what's the terminal command to open a terminal?
[23:05] <zack6849> my main reason to get on  ubuntu was to see what all the hype was about
[23:05] <zack6849> i usually use windows
[23:05] <zack6849> i've used windows since i was like 3, i used to play on my grandpas thinkpad on paint
[23:05] <zack6849> xD
[23:05] <grizlo42> is there a way to get the equivalent package names in apt-get corresponding to yum packages?
[23:05] <OerHeks> bunjee, i use ctrl + alt + T
[23:06] <nb-ben> zack6849: well, everything works just fine
[23:06] <nb-ben> zack6849: and that's about it
[23:06] <zack6849> anny huge advantages vs windows?
[23:06] <OerHeks> bunjee, else the actual command is gnome-terminal
[23:06] <zack6849> aside from security?
[23:07] <zack6849> i use my pc mainly for gaming, hence my reasoning to not switch completley to linux
[23:07] <zack6849> the day ubuntu has bf3 and skyrim, i will switch
[23:07] <nb-ben> zack6849: it works faster, more reliable/stable, you don't have to pirate anything, more customizable (you have many choices for desktop software)
[23:07] <nb-ben> zack6849: its package manager is incredible
[23:07] <bunjee> thank you 0erHeks!!
[23:07] <zack6849> don't have to pirate you say?
[23:07] <zack6849> direct me to the free movies!
[23:07] <zack6849> xD
[23:07] <OerHeks> !ot
[23:08] <Pessimist> Anyone here with Xubuntu? If so, maybe you can share good websites for Xfce themes?
[23:08] <nb-ben> zack6849: to use windows you have to either pirate it or pay a premium
[23:08] <zack6849> eh, i priate most everything
[23:08] <Dr_Willis> http://xfce-look.org/
[23:08] <zack6849> OerHeks, i have the stragest feeling that was directed to me
[23:08] <zack6849> >_>
[23:09] <nb-ben> apart from gaming (eventhough Linux has pretty incredible games too), it's a fully working and tasty operating system
[23:09] <Dr_Willis> part of the gnome-look.org network..  it seems.. first google hit.
[23:09] <OerHeks> yes, piracy is not on topic in this channel & freenode, thanks.
[23:09] <grizlo42> Pessimist: I personally think the xubuntu default theme works very well. clean and streamlined. as long as you go ahead and tweak the terminal color scheme =)
[23:09] <djzn> nb-ben: hey how can you do that in unity
[23:09] <zack6849> i really like the way linux looks, in fact i modded my windows to look like it
[23:10] <Pessimist> someone kick zack6849 please
[23:10] <zack6849> D:
[23:10] <zack6849> i'll leave :(
[23:10] <zack6849> sorry
[23:10] <nb-ben> don't
[23:10] <Dr_Willis> Do you have a support question?
[23:10] <OerHeks> zack6849, have fun with your server :-)
[23:10] <zack6849> don't? o_0
[23:10] <grnt> Somebody kick Pessimist in balls
[23:10] <zack6849> i was just told to leave by 3 people...
[23:10] <grnt> ^_^
[23:10] <nb-ben> zack6849: just don't talk about piracy or admit to doing it
[23:11] <zack6849> oh okay >_>
[23:11] <zack6849> nb-ben, whats the linux equivalent of a batch file? a .sh?
[23:11] <grnt> zack6849: yes
[23:11] <kalebmcc> Can someone help me get my screen resolution and compisiting working? I'm having trouble with GRUB and X...
[23:11] <Dr_Willis> you can script in linux in any of several languages zack6849
[23:11] <nb-ben> not only
[23:12] <nb-ben> you can use any interpretor
[23:12] <grnt> This is the closest one
[23:12] <nb-ben> even php
[23:12] <nb-ben> but yes bash is most common
[23:12] <zack6849> Dr_Willis, i was mostly asking because i need to know what to save my script for launching myy minecraft server in as
[23:12] <Dr_Willis> the .sh extension is not needed
[23:12] <Dr_Willis> zack6849:  just save it and make the file executable.  .sh is optional
[23:12] <kalebmcc> I tried Ask Ubuntu but no one is responding and I'm in a bit of a hurry... http://askubuntu.com/questions/175074/how-do-i-adjust-the-resolution-on-an-hp-g6-laptop
[23:12] <zack6849> thats neat
[23:13] <zack6849> kalebmcc, have yopu tried using the displays application?
[23:13] <zack6849> *you
[23:14] <grnt> I would say that adding .sh is good practice though. One can instantly see it's a script, not a program
[23:14] <kalebmcc> Yes, I looked in Displays and my native resolution of 1366x768 is not listed, only 1024x768
[23:14] <nb-ben> kalebmcc: it probably means you don't have the correct driver installed
[23:15] <OerHeks> kalebmcc, hp G6 with a dual videocard ?
[23:15] <Dr_Willis> err.. a script is a program. :) you got dozens if not hundreds of bash scripts in your normal path.
[23:15] <kalebmcc> I tried enabling FGLRX drivers through additional drivers, but the post-release updates won't activate only the original
[23:15] <kalebmcc> I'm not sure how to check if this model has dual videocard
[23:15] <Pessimist> kalebmcc, what gpu do you have (lspci)?
[23:16] <nb-ben> Dr_Willis: he probably meant that it's not a binary program (compiled)
[23:16] <djzn> how do I do so the application won't mix with the top panel in unity?
[23:16] <grnt> nb-ben: yep
[23:16] <djzn> i mean, when maximized
[23:17] <nb-ben> djzn: http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity
[23:17] <nb-ben> ^ found this on google
[23:17] <kalebmcc> I ran the lspci command and it spat out a large chunk of data, I'm not sure how to output it to txt for pastebin or what parts you'd be interested in
[23:18] <Pessimist> kalebmcc, we want to know what GPU you have, try lspci | grep "VGA"
[23:19] <kalebmcc> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[23:19] <kalebmcc> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M Series]
[23:19] <nb-ben> alright just finished installing
[23:20] <nb-ben> I'll brb on ubuntu ;p
[23:21] <Pessimist> kalebmcc, are the propertary drivers really necessary? Have you tried to do what you want with Xorg radeon driver?
[23:21] <kalebmcc> I don't know how to do what I want, haha
[23:21] <kalebmcc> I just thought enabling the additional drivers would help, I don't know
[23:21] <Dr_Willis> what do you want to do?
[23:22] <kalebmcc> change my resolution to 1366x768 and enable compositing
[23:22] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
[23:22] <L3top> kalebmcc: You need a program called vga-switcheroo if your bios will not allow you to disable the intel. Unfortunately it will not use the fgrlx driver.
[23:22] <OerHeks> =dual videocard
[23:24] <kalebmcc> I don't particularly care about using FGLRX specifically, if the other driver will enable compositing
[23:24] <Mysterytrain> uh, apt-get install samba doesn't work?
[23:24] <cc11rocks> My HDMI out is not working at all...It screws up the stuff on my screen when I plug it in (can't open minimized windows) and nothing shows up on the television
[23:25] <Pessimist> Mysterytrain, there is no such package samba. But there is samba4... use apt-cache search <package name>
[23:25] <cc11rocks> I upgraded to 3.5.1 kernel yesterday to get rid of the no-direct connect bug if that means anything
[23:26] <cc11rocks> I have never tried HDMI before, so it may not be because of the upgraded kernel
[23:26] <bonez2046> how can I find whether a particular video card will work with ubuntu 12.04, i.e., whether I can find a driver for it
[23:26] <cc11rocks> My graphics card is Intel HD 4000 in case that matters
[23:26] <Pessimist> cc11rocks, some info would help. GPU? (lspci | grep "VGA"), opensource or propertary drivers?, linux kernel version
[23:27] <cc11rocks> cc11rocks@cc11rocks-Lemur-Ultra:~$ lspci | grep "VGA"
[23:27] <cc11rocks> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Ivy Bridge Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[23:27] <cc11rocks> GPU = Intel i5 3210M
[23:27] <cc11rocks> I didn't install any extra drivers or anything (other than System76 drivers)
[23:28] <ugly_duck> update-rc.d -f heartbeat remove <-- this actually deletes the file from /etc/init.d/ correct?
[23:28] <Dextralus> Hello, I'm still having a bit of trouble with my wireless. After following the directions at http://www.linux-radar.net/linux-ubuntu-1204-realtek-rtl8192e-wifi-card-working-1204.html I still experience loss of wireless function after reboot as the suggested lines in the blacklist file are not present (I use a Samsung N220 rather than N130). This is my blacklist: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1143801/ I have also removed ndiswrapper as p
[23:28] <Dextralus> er the instructions from leokemps (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1701070)
[23:29] <xnuil> please, how can i remove unity? i had installed gnome-shell yet but i don't know how to remove completely unity
[23:29] <cc11rocks> Pessimist - You stuck or is help coming? Not trying to rush, just trying to figure this out...
[23:29] <Dextralus> Er, sorry, those aren't the ndiswrapper instructions, but I did also do as leo suggested there.
[23:30] <trism> ugly_duck: no, it just errors if the /etc/init.d/ file isn't already deleted, unless you use -f
[23:30] <Pessimist> cc11rocks, I don't have any experience with intel drivers/gpus so I can't help you. I Just wanted you to post more info which would help others to help you. Good luck.
[23:30] <cc11rocks> Forgot to mention that the HDMI connection initially worked for about 15 seconds...Then it stopped working
[23:31] <cc11rocks> Pessimist - Okay, thank you
[23:32] <dylan> I can't get my second monitor to work with my laptop
[23:32] <dylan> any help?
[23:32] <Mysterytrain> ah duh. I forgot to do apt-get update on this new install. no wonder it couldn't find it lol
[23:33] <Pessimist> cc11rocks, try using askubuntu.com
[23:34] <ozatomic> When tring to shutdown a 12.04 Virtual MAchine. It is hanging ( [251154.363182] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (6349) terminated with status 1) and it jsut hangs. Looking at the logs that is the only message i get becasue all other logging gets turned off?
[23:34] <kalebmcc> Okay, after some fiddling I got most of it working
[23:34] <dylan> I can't get my second monitor to work with my laptop
[23:34] <dylan> It doesnt even detect it
[23:35] <Hetep> umm, having trouble getting a connection to the internet with the webbrowser & other applications, though connection is working to IRC & Skype... any suggestions?
[23:35] <kalebmcc> If I change GRUB's startup options using e before booting Ubuntu and change nomodeset to modeset=1, I'll start out with a very dark screen but 1366x768 resolution
[23:35] <kalebmcc> If I login and change the brightness, everything is okay, except I still don't have compositing
[23:36] <kalebmcc> However, if I restart it goes back to nomodeset even though I changed it to modeset=1 in /etc/default/grub
[23:38] <snagglepuss> kalebmcc:   did you remember to also rung   update-grub   after making your changes?
[23:38] <kalebmcc> no, thank you for that reminder!
[23:38] <snagglepuss> yw
[23:39] <kalebmcc> will this also make the brightness stay up when I reboot or will I have to fix it every time?
[23:40] <snagglepuss> kalebmcc:   just started using unbuntu so will have to let someone else field that issue  :-)
[23:41] <Draugauth> How do you make ubuntu bring back the desktop without doing a reboot when it has shut down the monitor?
[23:41] <Pessimist> kalebmcc, update-grub  is a stub for running grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[23:41] <Pessimist>        to generate a grub2 config file.
[23:42] <kalebmcc> okay, I'll be right back, going to try something
[23:44] <Mikeulus> I have built unity 6.0 and am interested in switching between the version of unity that the system has and the one I built. What exactly does 'unity --replace' do?
[23:44] <Hetep> anybody have a clue?
[23:46] <Dr_Willis> Mikeulus:  perhaps /path/to/your/build/unity --replace   ;)
[23:46] <trism> Mikeulus: the /usr/bin/unity is just a python script, look at the reset_unity_compiz_profile function
[23:47] <Mikeulus> trism: I see
[23:47] <Mikeulus> Dr_Willis: Thanks
[23:48] <Dr_Willis> so its actually telling compiz to change to the other unity
[23:48] <Dr_Willis> but unity is a compiz plugin. so im not clear on how compiz can have 2 unity plugins of differnt versions.
[23:50] <dylan> Hey guys, I can't get my second monitor to work in Ubuntu, it's VGA, any help?  It doesn't even detect it.
[23:50] <Mikeulus> I see. This is perfect. Looking at the reset_unity_compiz function now
[23:52] <Dr_Willis> dylan:  whats the video card setup? it was plugged in and on when you booted up?
[23:53] <rooter_> which is the best site to learn the shrell and shell commands?
[23:53] <dylan> yes it was plugged when I booted, and it's just a stock laptop
[23:53] <rawfodog> why isnt there a mame front end for ubuntu ?
[23:53] <dylan> Dr_Willis: yes it was plugged when I booted, and it's just a stock laptop
[23:53] <Dr_Willis> rawfodog:  used to be several of them.   may not be in the repos any more.
[23:54] <rawfodog> Dr_Willis, yeah I know, why is that ?
[23:54] <Dr_Willis> gnome-video-arcade - Simple MAME frontend
[23:54] <Dr_Willis> apt-cache search mame    shoed that one...
[23:55] <Dr_Willis> http://www.zophar.net/frontends/mame.html no idea how up to date.
[23:55] <Dr_Willis> MythTV even has (had?) a Mame Front end plugin i recall.
[23:56] <Mikeulus> trism: would you happen to know if the hud is a standalone binary?
[23:57] <trism> Mikeulus: the hud code is split between unity and indicator-appmenu
[23:58] <Mikeulus> trism: I see.
