[17:01] <devslash> what does that have to do with unity ?
[17:01] <debiantoruser> MonkeyDust, copy, thx alot
[17:02] <dreamer000> Anyway would it make sense to take only this if possible from quantal?

[17:07] <nomodeset> to verify .sig files
[17:07] <nearst> use seahorse?

[17:08] <nomodeset> yeah,
[17:08] <nomodeset> with $seahorse-tools --verify
[17:08] <usr13> nomodeset: What is your end goal?
[17:08] <nomodeset> but i want to associate this command with .sig files

[17:08] <nomodeset> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1120260

[17:09] <usr13> nomodeset: What is the actual problem you are tying to solve?
[17:10] <usr13> nomodeset: That's what   file name.sig    returns?
[17:10] <vmachine> anyone have a list of the features that will be in ubuntu 13?
[17:10] <debiantoruser> MonkeyDust, http://pastebin.com/7FBEeF3G
[17:10] <debiantoruser> I have the same result

[17:12] <nomodeset> application/pgp-signature			sig
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> debiantoruser  looks clean, now use apt-get -f install
[17:12] <theadmin> vmachine: Depends mostly on upstream, as for Canonical, they are putting features in as they make them up, so there simply can not be a list.
[17:12] <theadmin> From what I understand anyway
[17:12] <vmachine> ok thanks
[17:12] <debiantoruser> at the end of pastebin output of it
[17:12] <debiantoruser> it is clean
[17:12] <k1l_> debiantoruser: what command is that output from? what ubuntu are you now really on? are you still using aptitude? what PPAs do you have besides the debian ones?
[17:13] <usr13> nomodeset: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man1/gpgv.1.html
[17:13] <debiantoruser> k1l_, it is generic, no ppa, ubuntu 12.10
[17:13] <nomodeset> nearst: yeah i know
[17:13] <k1l_> debiantoruser: "ls -alR /etc/apt/sources.list.d/" pastbin please
[17:14] <nomodeset> nearst: but  i want to associate "$seahorse-tools --verify" with .sig files
[17:14] <nomodeset> what can i do?
[17:14] <debiantoruser> k1l_, http://pastebin.com/XNH90XKZ
[17:15] <toperharrier> what should I uninstall to disable only amazon search results? unity-lens-shopping or amazon webapp? im a bit confused it seems amazon is unity-webapp-common :s
[17:15] <nomodeset> usr13: Yeah, but i don't want to do it at the console every time
[17:17] <usr13> nomodeset: http://onlinedocs.info/ubuntu-12-10-linux-file-properties/
[17:17] <k1l_> debiantoruser: apt-get is fine. i wouldnt count on aptitude
[17:17] <debiantoruser> Is it really depricate?
[17:17] <k1l_> that seems to got confused with your massive PPAs and debian stuff
[17:18] <BluesKaj> !aptitude
[17:18] <nearst> nomodeset, u can do that on thunar as i remember, or edit /etc/mime.types
[17:19] <nomodeset> usr13: I don't get your point
[17:19] <debiantoruser> k1l_, i have no side packages, only quantal, see apt-show-versions -> http://pastebin.com/FrncEC3B
[17:19] <nomodeset> nearst: but
[17:19] <debiantoruser> they are all uptodate
[17:19] <nomodeset> but grep 'sig' /etc/mime.types returns application/pgp-signature sig
[17:19] <theadmin> usr13, nomodeset et al: Gnome developers decided they're the smartest and removed the ability to add custom commands via GUI, it would seem. Suggest manually creating a desktop file and using that.
[17:20] <nomodeset> theadmin: I prefer to think that there was a mistake
[17:20] <ufsu>  ./configure --help outputs this "-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory" ... what do I need to do?
[17:20] <theadmin> ufsu: Get to a directory with a file called "configure".
[17:21] <nomodeset> ufsu: You don't hace a configure file
[17:21] <nomodeset> try $make
[17:21] <ufsu> ok thank you
[17:21] <theadmin> nomodeset: I don't think so... Recently gnome people seem to think that settings confuse users, settings are bad... etc :/
[17:21] <nomodeset> theadmin: I think then, that it was a bad decision
[17:21] <nearst> try README for additional info
[17:22] <nomodeset> theadmin: But then what can i do?
[17:22] <nomodeset> How to add a command to that list
[17:23] <k1l_> debiantoruser: forget aptitude
[17:24] <nomodeset> I've added to alacarte, but it does not appear in the lisst
[17:24] <nascentmind> Hi. When I have small font's I can see a reddish white border on fonts. Is this related to sub pixel rendering?
[17:24] <k1l_> the package it is failing with (libcairo2) is installed as seen with your apt-show list
[17:24] <k1l_> debiantoruser: so run with apt-get and be happy
[17:24] <isaac_1> trolololol
[17:27] <theadmin> nomodeset: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1640037/ - place a .desktop file containing this (minimalistic example, you can add categories, description etc) either in ~/.local/share/applications (your user only) or /usr/share/applications (system-wide) and then it will start appearing in the list.
[17:27] <nomodeset> theadmin: i'm going to try it, thanks.
[17:28] <theadmin> nomodeset: (.desktop as in "verify-sig.desktop" or such, not just a file called .desktop)
[17:29] <nomodeset> theadmin: I'm not stupi
[17:29] <nomodeset> d
[17:29] <nomodeset> theadmin: it does not work
[17:30] <theadmin> nomodeset: I wasn't implying you are stupid, it's just common in UNIX to have folders/files names of which start with a "."...
[17:30] <theadmin> nomodeset: Does not work how? Doesn't appear or doesn't run the command?
[17:30] <debiantoruser> k1l_, what you mean about libcairo2?
[17:30] <nomodeset> does not apper at the list
[17:30] <nomodeset> theadmin: yeah! i know
[17:31] <nomodeset> does not apper in the list
[17:31] <k1l_> debiantoruser: see the errormsg from aptitude at the end
[17:31] <theadmin> nomodeset: Bah, my bad, last line should be NoDisplay=true (lowercase "true", not uppercase)
[17:32] <k1l_> debiantoruser: just drop aptitude and everything is ok
[17:32] <towlie> is there a way to force all windows to display their title bar
[17:32] <debiantoruser> k1l_, i can't, i so love it
[17:32] <towlie> like a traditional app instead of it being hidden until you hover over the top left corner ?
[17:32] <debiantoruser> and, atmost, it is ubuntu way, not a debian
[17:33] <OerHeks> k1l_, jrib said it was fixed, i told debiantoruser not to use aptitude, as he proofs it isn't fixed.
[17:33] <k1l_> debiantoruser: aptitude is not ubuntu way. its not standard anymore
[17:33] <debiantoruser> which package manager is standard?
[17:33] <k1l_> OerHeks: i dont know if its fixed or not. i just see aptitude having massive problems when apt.-get is fine
[17:33] <brad[]> Word.
[17:34] <k1l_> debiantoruser: apt-get and softwarecenter
[17:34] <usr13> debiantoruser: apt
[17:34] <theadmin> towlie: The global menu functionality is provided by the appmenu-gtk, appmenu-qt and indicator-appmenu packages. Removing those will give you the "traditional" mode back.
[17:34] <nomodeset> theadmin: No, it does not appear
[17:34] <jrib> OerHeks: only in 12.10 I believe
[17:34] <debiantoruser> k1l_, i solve it
[17:34] <theadmin> nomodeset: Bah... Okay, well, then I have no idea. Weird really.
[17:35] <debiantoruser> totally clean directories for aptitude and apt /var/lib/apt/ and /var/lib/aptitude, and than reupdate reupgrade, now aptitude install -f give the same as apt-get install -f
[17:35] <debiantoruser> Thax, alot
[17:36] <nearst> try with sudo apt-get install --fix-missing first before -f force
[17:36] <nomodeset> theadmin: that really suck,
[17:36] <Guest74158> hello
[17:36] <Guest74158> please like >>  http://goo.gl/XZHjX
[17:36] <nomodeset> theadmin: Thanks again...
[17:37] <theadmin> nearst: "-f" is not force, it *is* fix-missing...
[17:37] <theadmin> Guest74158: Spam is not welcome here.
[17:37] <nearst> mybad
[17:38] <theadmin> nomodeset: Might want to switch to a desktop environment that does not try to limit it's users in what they can do, like Xfce or KDE
[17:41] <nomodeset> theadmin: But gnome has been like my girlfriend for years :/
[17:41] <Chris7mas> clear
[17:41] <usr13> nomodeset: Ditch her.
[17:41] <MonkeyDust> nomodeset  is that a good or a bad thing?
[17:42] <theadmin> nomodeset: Xfce is very similar to Gnome2 in many ways, in some ways it's even better.
[17:42] <usr13> nomodeset: I use xfce
[17:42] <yashi> im having some issues with skype/mic..(ubuntu 12.04) my mic is working in the (soundsettings tab) and i tried all mic possibilities in skype..non works :(
[17:43] <theadmin> yashi: Unfortunately, that means it's a Skype issue. And Skype is a closed-source product provided and coded by Microsoft, and neither Canonical nor people in this channel can do anything about it :/
[17:44] <usr13> yashi: Try a different version of Skype
[17:44] <usr13> yashi: Or different VIOP solution.
[17:44] <MonkeyDust> yashi  or contact microsoft
[17:45] <usr13> Yea, good luck with that.
[17:46] <yashi> i bet 10 bucks that it ends up to be a linux issue
[17:46] <usr13> (just because they own it, doesn't mean they'll support it, espeically on our platform)
[17:46] <usr13> yashi: Can you hear your voice over the speakers?
[17:47] <yashi> if i select pulse audio as the input source than its up to pulse to deliver the signal
[17:47] <towlie> when I do alt tab to change to a different window, theres a slow fade in effect as the window is displayed. Not sure if this is relevant but I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 in Virtualbox
[17:48] <usr13> yashi: If you think it is a pulse issue, uninstall it and see.
[17:49] <usr13> yashi: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
[17:49] <yashi> usr13: i want to use pulse.
[17:49] <towlie> anyone know if theres a fix for this ?
[17:49] <usr13> yashi: Then don't uninstall it.
[17:49] <yashi> usr13: not planning too :P
[17:49] <usr13> It was only advise;  Take it or leave it.
[17:50] <jki> Could anyone tell me, how to get Sierra MC8755 working under Ubuntu 12.10?
[17:50] <stephen_> ahoy
[17:50] <LaserShark> what is youy problem
[17:50] <usr13> (But why would you *not* uninstall it?)  One thing is for sure, if you don't do anything, nothing will get fixed.
[17:50] <stephen_> Anybody know how to setup my webcam for use in vid chats?
[17:50] <stephen_> cheese works so cam is fine btw
[17:52] <yashi> usr13: ah shit... pulse only delivers a merged audiosignal to alsa doesnt it? ><
[17:52] <Guest1925> hey... simple question..... can somebody please tell me how to (using libreoffice calc) for example write black-text-with-white-border in a dark blue cell ?
[17:52] <usr13> yashi: There are a number of things it could be and you could troubleshoot the problem if you want to.
[17:52] <yashi> usr13: im pretty sure i know what it is ><
[17:52] <T_oink> Hello, is there any place where I can see what changes in specific kernel releases? eg what changes from kernel 3.5.0 > 3.6.2 ; Just curious... :-)
[17:52] <coder2> what is the developer channel for ubuntu
[17:52] <theadmin> coder2: #ubuntu-devel
[17:52] <coder2> theadmin, thanku
[17:53] <Pinkamena_D> is their some plugin i can download for handbrake to convert TO ogg/ogv?
[17:53] <theadmin> T_oink: I'm pretty sure there are changelogs on kernel.org, also you can use "apt-get changelog linux-image-generic" and such
[17:53] <T_oink> theadmin, oke thanks i'll take a look in those
[17:54] <usr13> T_oink: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux/
[17:54] <T_oink> usr13, great thanks.
[17:55] <Guest1925> hey... simple question..... can somebody please tell me how to (using libreoffice calc) for example write black-text-with-white-border in a dark blue cell ? (the white border must be around each character)
[17:55] <usr13> T_oink: But what theadmin suggested works as well.
[17:55] <jki> Anyone familiar with Sierra AirCards? Could anyone tell me, how to get Sierra MC8755 working under Ubuntu 12.10?
[17:55] <usr13> T_oink: So you have couple options.
[17:55] <kvarley1> I suspect that my router is causing me to disconnect from games on Wii U. I want to setup my laptop as a wireless access point that defers DHCP to my router, is that possible? How would I go about this?
[17:55] <theadmin> How can I get rid of the "System reboot required" notification? I already removed /var/run/reboot-required*... I just fail to understand what causes this notification to *dis*appear. Existence of /var/run/reboot-required{,.pkgs} makes it appear, but...
[17:56] <T_oink> usr13, the more the merrier or however they say that in English :-) thanks for the tips.
[17:56] <yashi> jki check what chipset that card uses that might help you

[17:58] <yashi> jki: cant really help you. i managed to get a few cards running but finally switched to lan cable, because i was sick of it ioi
[17:58] <param> i have installed ubuntu server on my laptop
[17:59] <theadmin> param: ...You probably just don't have the connection up... "sudo ip link set eth0 up ; sudo dhclient
[17:59] <usr13> param: And that causes you to believe that the ethernet drivers are not detected?
[17:59] <param> yeah i guess ... because when i ping in my windows it shows some connection
[18:00] <zykotick9> theadmin: well, the simple solution would be reboot ;)  good luck.
[18:00] <jki> yashi: I have a separate usb one (huawei), but I'd prefer to get the integrated one working.
[18:00] <theadmin> zykotick9: Eh. That's not really a solution (I mean yes, it makes it dissapear, but I want to do it the crazy way)
[18:00] <yashi> jki: yea makes sense
[18:00] <theadmin> zykotick9: Now I just need to find that crazy way

[18:02] <yashi> do i have to configure alsa via alsamixer if i use pulse?
[18:02] <Bon-chan> is it possible to test the integrity of ubuntu installed in a usb disk when trying it?
[18:02] <theadmin> Guest1925: What's so hard? Font color -> black, highlight color -> white, background color -> blue
[18:03] <Guest1925> thanks for the attention the admin....... no the thing is the white border must be around each and every character.... you see what i mean?
[18:04] <theadmin> Guest1925: Oh, huh, I don't know if I've ever seen what you're talking about
[18:04] <Guest1925> who knows?
[18:04] <theadmin> Guest1925: Well, as you guessed, the libreoffice channel might be a better place to ask.
[18:05] <Guest1925> is it #libreoffice ?
[18:05] <Guest1925> or is there a specific one for calc ?
[18:05] <theadmin> Guest1925: Nah, the whole suite shares the single channel, so yes, that one
[18:05] <Guest1925> ok thanks.... bye :)

[18:42] <sonOfRa> SMART reads generally healthy except for:

[18:43] <eLobato> problem with unity here
[18:43] <yashi> what exactly is the advantage of pulse vs alsa? just the individual handling of software aka a pcm channel for everyone? o_0
[18:43] <eLobato> there's a memory leak every now and then..
[18:43] <rh1n0> is there a sane way to keep a script from being run on a specific server? we have a 4 server cluster. We had issues with people trying to troubleshoot a problem and in err accidentally starting a specific script. We can only have this script running on a specific server. Its part of our application codebase so i cant easily keep it from being deployed.
[18:43] <eLobato> and it fills all my memory unless i restart it
[18:44] <nicofs> ncdmr, nothing there
[18:44] <hanasaki> ctrl space should bring up the ibus language input right?
[18:44] <ncdmr> rh1n0: use acl or chattr?
[18:44] <joshu> anyone able to comment on upgrading the kernel from 3.2.0-36 to 3.7.7 ubuntu desktop 12.04?
[18:45] <rh1n0> ncdmr never heard of chattr - ill look into that thanks
[18:45] <semi-> rh1n0: have the script check the result of `hostname` and compare it to the known 'right' hostname? not exactly a clean solution, but might work depending on your use case
[18:45] <nicofs> ncdmr, i have this white blinking dash (waiting for prompt) in standard resolution, then it shrinks as the screen goes to native resolution than it freezes...
[18:45] <rh1n0> semi thats actually what i was thinking of doing ;)
[18:45] <semi-> i've done it before for different behavior between my local devel machine and production/staging machines. it feels wrong but it works.
[18:46] <ncdmr> nicofs: in that case, no idea really, never experienced it myself, just thought that hopefully there might already be some logging.
[18:46] <_raven_> how to redirect the default index.htm to foo.htm in apache2?
[18:47] <nicofs> ncdmr, i suspect a driver issue - resolution change happens after kernel load afaik...

[18:53] <cliff_> So I'll be configuring it for an external IP
[18:54] <roger_> raven: i believe that is done with .htaccess file

[18:59] <jpmh> I have recently switched from ubuntu to lubuntu - there is one issue I can not seem to resolve.  Under ubuntu I could click on the voulme icon and it would bring up a screen allowing me to set the volume above 100%.  lubuntu is using alsa and I do not seem to have this.  How do I get this feature back
[18:59] <zykotick9> roger_: a better way to manage user's sudo access, it to add them to the sudo group, logout/login = done.
[19:00] <roger_> zykotick9: ok thanks.. so there's really no benefit to the default group name that is named after users username?
[19:01] <zefuros> hello guys i need big help i dual boot ubuntu 12.10 64bit and windows 8 64bit both efi and now grub doesnt load saying no such device
[19:01] <zykotick9> roger_: not sure what you mean...

[19:02] <posomodi> Hello

[19:02] <roger_> zyk0: well all users are put in groups that are named after their username. ie. user "bleh" would by default be put in the "bleh" group
[19:02] <zykotick9> !tab > roger_
[19:02] <CCD_> quit
[19:02] <posomodi> Anybody with some experience using init.d jobs?
[19:03] <zefuros> anyone here can help me?
[19:03] <roger_> zefuros: I'm no pro, but from what research I have done, win8 and dual booting is a headache atm
[19:03] <zykotick9> roger_: don't mess with that.  the user will be in multiple groups, not JUST sudo.  be careful with this, use "useradd USERNAME GROUP" not usermod (or you could land yourself in trouble)
[19:03] <posomodi> I want to run one init.d task AFTER an upstart job is complete
[19:04] <roger_> zykotick9: ok thanks

[19:05] <auvajs> hi, how to completely remove ubuntu one? I set up bandwith upload to 1kb/s but it's still sending data by 5MB/s which cost me my interent connection :/
[19:05] <zefuros> my grub doesnt load plz help
[19:05] <roger_> zefuros: have you done any searching online?
[19:05] <MonkeyDust> roger_  don't say that
[19:06] <genii-around> zefuros: At what point does it fail?
[19:06] <roger_> MonkeyDust: I simply want to make sure I don't waste his time by giving him links he may have already seen
[19:06] <_raven_> how to redirect the default index.htm to foo.htm in apache2?
[19:07] <zefuros> genii-around it was fine till yesterday i dualboot ubuntu 12.10 64b and windows 8 64b efi and now i open and it says error no such device
[19:09] <roger_> zefuros: when did you install it?
[19:09] <genii-around> zefuros: Ah. Unfortunately I do not yet know enough about EFI/UEFI to be of assistance. But there may be someone around who knows.
[19:10] <zefuros> roger_: the windows 8 are onstalled many months i updated from 7 and two days before i installed ubuntu
[19:11] <cliff_> I'm running 13 external static IPs on my network, and I'm trying to configure ubuntu server 12.10 to use one of those IPs.  How would I do this?
[19:12] <roger_> zefuros: I guess what I'm asking is; are you sure you've done an actual successful reboot since installing both win8 and ubuntu?
[19:13] <guest1437> cliff_, etc hosts?
[19:14] <zefuros> roger_: yes i done many succesfull reboots
[19:14] <linuxdude> Hola

[19:15] <linuxdude> Is there any reason why the network manager doesn't have a refresh button?
[19:15] <Y05H10> But i do See The grub Menu (Dual Boot)
[19:15] <guest1437> linuxdude, somebody stole it?
[19:16] <roger_> zefuros: Yeah man I'm sorry.  UEFI is just so new.. Its a gongshow right now online.

[19:17] <guest1437> linuxdude, command line iwconfig
[19:17] <roger_> zefuros: I just don't know enough about it to confidently give any troubleshooting steps
[19:18] <linuxdude> Is it to hard to just write in a refresh button in network manager?
[19:18] <Y05H10> >non EUMM
[19:18] <linuxdude> I usually use iwlist scanning but wtf
[19:18] <Y05H10> >NON UEFI< I have a normal board
[19:18] <zefuros> roger_: do you know any basic steps to restore grub?
[19:18] <bean__> !grub | zefuros

[19:20] <Fuzzles> if installed ubuntu 13.04 side by side with 12.10 how would i remove ubuntu 13.04 and fix the bootgrub?
[19:20] <roger_> zefuros: sorry man, I'm a linux newb. I'd search online myself
[19:20] <linuxdude> No, i wish i could code. I just want a wifi refresh button
[19:21] <eni> guest1437: what file/config etc?
[19:21] <residentbiscuit> ah cool thanks

[19:25] <salvatore> I have a problem with skype: notifications work, but without sound. Why? How can I solve it?
[19:27] <guest1437> eni have u tried etc/rc.d scripts?
[19:27] <mathias__> Hi, I just recently janked out my external sound card, but now ubuntu doesn't show me any sound cards at all (i can see the HDMI sound output from my gfx-card though)
[19:27] <eni> guest1437: yea just did that
[19:27] <eni> thanks
[19:28] <eni> guest1437: /etc/init.d/ to be precise
[19:28] <guest1437> eni you re welcome
[19:28] <guest1437> :-)
[19:28] <MonkeyDust> salvatore  do you have sound with other apps?
[19:29] <zefuros> roger_: dude i cant boot from usb it says  : unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[19:29] <salvatore> yes MonkeyDust, Amarok works, flash works, even skype works (calls work)
[19:29] <kostkon> salvatore, check the alert volume in your sound preferences
[19:29] <mathias__> Hi, I just recently janked out my external sound card, but now ubuntu doesn't show me any sound cards at all (i can see the HDMI sound output from my gfx-card though)
[19:30] <kostkon> salvatore, in the sound effects tab
[19:30] <MonkeyDust> salvatore  skype is a 3rd party app, by another developper and closed source
[19:30] <kostkon> MonkeyDust, so?
[19:30] <zefuros> anyone can help. me? grub doesnt show up and i cant boot from live usb
[19:30] <kostkon> MonkeyDust, another developer?
[19:31] <STMelon> microsoft owns skype, it is not open-source
[19:31] <salvatore> yeah, I know that
[19:32] <g16> Trying to mount a LessFS, but mount | grep less prints nothing. Why?
[19:33] <Sharyari> Hi, I have a problem with mounting my udb-stick. It used to be working fine, but now all of a sudden I only have /dev/sdb as an option (and now /dev/sdb1 partition). Any way I can repartition it or something?
[19:35] <acerbus> Is there a way to escape a digit in regex? I keep getting invalid back reference because I'm doing ie. \123456. Hard to work around it as the input to my regex is random.
[19:36] <jrib> acerbus: why are you escaping a digit?
[19:36] <jrib> acerbus: just do "123456"
[19:37] <acerbus> jrib: I need to, because the input may also be "." instead of "123456"
[19:37] <raub> How does a proper shutdown look in the syslog file?
[19:37] <_raven_> how to redirect the default index.htm to foo.htm in apache2?
[19:38] <jrib> acerbus: you should take a step back and say what you are trying to accomplish
[19:39] <acerbus> jrib: Been doing that for quite a while now. The problem is that I have a set of data that is pretty randomly consisting of alphanumerics, digits and certain characters regex interprets as special. Because of the characters, I must escape it, but since I am escaping it, digits cause problems.
[19:39] <jrib> acerbus: give an example
[19:40] <XtremeWiz> Hi, how do uninstall/stop oidentd?
[19:40] <avi> hey i need help
[19:41] <acerbus> jrib: I have a file containing three lines; "abcd", ".abcd" and "123456". I'm iterating over the file and I do not know the content of it with certainty beforehand. As I am iterating, I put the line into a regex for matching. If I do not escape the pattern, "abcd" and "123456" works without problems, but ".abcd" becomes a problem because of the leading ".".
[19:42] <acerbus> But if I do escape it, "abcd" and ".abcd" works fine, but "123456" doesn't.
[19:43] <jrib> acerbus: well do you actually want a regex then?  Or do you just want to match the string literally?
[19:43] <GermainZ> Hey, I can't adjust screen brightness (it's always locked to the max) (tried via hotkeys, system settings and shell commands). Any suggestions?
[19:43] <acerbus> jrib: I need a regex because I am matching one set of variable data against another set of variable data.
[19:43] <zefuros> please help me i must restore grub and i cant even boot my live usb
[19:44] <tgm4883> acerbus, what does your regex look like?
[19:45] <g16> Why you're not just checking whether the string is contained? e.g. Bash has operator =~ and perl has index($str, $substr) and almost any language has a specific construct
[19:45] <acerbus> tgm4883: "^.+;.+;.+;\\"$indata";" blahblah
[19:46] <acerbus> Where $indata can be just about any character or digit.
[19:49] <acerbus> The full line is: for indata in $(cat file1.txt | awk -F"/" '{print $2}'); do egrep "^.+;.+;.+;\\"$indata";" file2.txt; done
[19:49] <acerbus> Where file1.txt is full of all kinds of abominations.
[19:52] <jrib> acerbus: you could just extract what would be in the place of $indata in file2.txt and then see if that is the same as $indata from file1.txt.  That would be one way.  You could escape special characters if you want too and keep your solution, but that seems more annoying.  #bash might have more suggestions
[19:53] <zefuros> please some help , i cant load grub and i cant get my liveusb to boot to restore it
[19:53] <acerbus> Alright, cheers.
[19:54] <usr13> zefuros: Why won'
[19:54] <usr13> zefuros: Why won't your liveUSB boot?
[19:54] <tgm4883> acerbus, yea, I'd have to see some example data to try and help.
[19:54] <nullv4lue> oh no grub has eaten my kernel
[19:54] <tgm4883> acerbus, minimally, what i'd need to know what would be considered valid
[19:55] <zefuros> usr13: it says cant find live systemfile something like that want me to try again and tell you?
[19:56] <hxm> hello
[19:56] <g16> acerbus: echo "we.+ird" | grep -P "\\Qwe.+ird\\E"
[19:56] <usr13> zefuros: I believe you're going to need to fix the liveUSB
[19:56] <hxm> can nano show line numbers?
[19:56] <g16> Perl's \Q and \E escape the content between them.
[19:56] <acerbus> tgm4883: Example data would be pretty much any string, ie. "abcd", ".abcd"" "-ABC123", "123456", "987-ABC" etc. A valid string would be "a;a;123;<string>;<anything>"
[19:56] <tgm4883> hxm, http://askubuntu.com/questions/73444/how-to-show-line-numbering-in-nano-when-opening-a-file
[19:56] <zefuros> usr13: are you expirienced with booting issues on a dual boot system?
[19:57] <hxm> thanks
[19:57] <Bon-chan> does restricted extras pack have something to do with fluendo? like, can i work out only with restricted extras?
[19:57] <GermainZ> zefuros, did you check your BIOS settings? Try raising USB boot priority. Also, on some systems, you need to press a button (e.g. F12) to boot from DVD/USB/Network.
[19:58] <tgm4883> acerbus, valid data would be "<loweralpha><loweralpha><number><number><number><everythingelse>"?
[19:58] <nicofs> Someone expert on USB boot issues? I can't install from usb... even adjusted to EFI and with nomodeset
[19:58] <tgm4883> acerbus, and it's having issues when the data is  "<period><loweralpha><loweralpha><number><number><number><everythingelse>"?
[19:59] <acerbus> tgm4883: "<anyalpha variable length>;<anyalpha variable length>;<digit variable length>;$myrandomdatathatisabitchtoescape;<everything else>"
[19:59] <usr13> zefuros: Yes
[20:01] <acerbus> g16's suggestion seems to be working, though
[20:02] <guntbert> nullv4lue: why do you think so? What happened?
[20:02] <F3Speech> Need help installing a hp lazerjet 1200 via a usb to serial adaptor using ubuntu server cli and cups! Currently Ive had it print a test page but network users couldnt print now I cant even see the printer. Any takers?
[20:03] <nullv4lue> eerm can you rephrase the question
[20:03] <nullv4lue> what happened to what?
[20:03] <F3Speech> need help adding printer?
[20:04] <jrib> g16: nice
[20:04] <nullv4lue> ooh grub keeps eating my windblows
[20:04] <guntbert> nullv4lue: you said "grub has eaten my kernel", I asked what made you say that
[20:04] <nullv4lue> kernel not found
[20:04] <F3Speech> nullv4lue: Ive no idea tbh, it was working 99% but ive clearly changed something because now its not visible on the lan
[20:04] <nullv4lue> i suspect grub did something with it
[20:05] <guntbert> !who | nullv4lue
[20:05] <nullv4lue> ignoring ubottu
[20:06] <nullv4lue> im gonna delete ubuntu and install windows 8 anyone knows where to get a copy of tht
[20:06] <peterrooney> nullv4lue: you shall be the lesser for it.
[20:06] <nullv4lue> ??
[20:06] <genii-around> nullv4lue: They might know in ##windows channel
[20:06] <nullv4lue> hmm
[20:06] <DJones> nullv4lue: Most computer shops will sell you a copy
[20:06] <k1l_> nullv4lue: no need for ranting. stick to the technical issue please
[20:07] <guntbert> nullv4lue: please keep to ubuntu support, no "funny" remarks
[20:07] <nullv4lue> oh you are so helpful bunch
[20:07] <nullv4lue> where is the fun in tht
[20:07] <nullv4lue> why so serious.....?
[20:07] <GermainZ> nullv4lue, "#ubuntu"
[20:07] <STMelon> this is a support channel.
[20:07] <DJones> !guidelines > nullv4lue
[20:07] <nullv4lue> sorry honest mistake
[20:07] <nullv4lue> i shall not speak
[20:08] <hxm> yes, where is the fun in "gonna install win8"
[20:08] <Deas> anyone familiure to dd-wrt and usb printing share?
[20:08] <nullv4lue> heh
[20:08] <tgm4883> acerbus, and your regex was failing when the random data started with a period?
[20:08] <k1l_> Deas: that sounds like a dd-wrt issue :) beeter see their support
[20:08] <genii-around> Heh, my plan was to just send the guy asking if we know where he can get a copy of Windows 8 to the ##windows channel and then quietly observe...
[20:08] <avi> hey i need help linux back track  thing about wifi anyone ?
[20:08]  * nullv4lue tells ubottu to shove guidelines up where the sun dont shine
[20:08] <xangua> !backtrack | avi
[20:09] <STMelon> ohh he left good
[20:09] <acerbus> tgm4883: No, with a digit because it interpreted the escaped digit as a back reference.
[20:09] <Deas> k1l_: just checking with people over here, im already thier irc awaiting answer
[20:09] <avi> thanks mate
[20:09] <acerbus> tgm4883: So "1234" became "\1234" which is a reference.
[20:09] <k1l_> Deas: keep this channel here to ubuntu support please, thanks
[20:09] <avi> cant in there strange
[20:09] <avi> Cannot join #backtrack-linux (You are banned).
[20:10] <k1l_> avi: ask in #freenode why and what to do
[20:10] <DJones> avi: You'll have to take that up with the backtrack-linux channel ops
[20:10] <k1l_> avi: (related to problems with channels here on freenode)
[20:10] <avi> ok
[20:12] <STMelon> thx DJones
[20:12] <tgm4883> acerbus, would something like this work    ^[A-Za-z]+;[A-Za-z]+;[0-9]+;[A-Za-z0-9\.\\]+;.+
[20:12] <DJones> I got the wrong one
[20:12] <acerbus> Okay, I think I got it, thanks g16! The final grep now looks like this:  grep -P "^[^;]+;[^;]+;[^;]+;\\Q"$indata"\\E;"

[20:16] <mathias__> usr13: yes, it's not there
[20:16] <mathias__> at all
[20:16] <mathias__> lspci doesn't show it either
[20:16] <wiggmpk> 55GB should be plenty for my root partition right? I mean I shouldnt be getting low disk space warnings.. right?
[20:16] <g16> acerbus: glad to help!! But thinking more about it, I think that jrib's suggestion would read and prolly perform better, a one-liner like     uniq <$(cat file1.txt | awk | sort) <$(cat file1.txt | awk | sort)
[20:16] <mathias__> aplay -l doesn't see it either
[20:16] <usr13> mathias__: On-board?
[20:17] <mathias__> usr13: on-board yes
[20:17] <g16> Glad that it works, anyway.
[20:17] <roger_> Evansch0: http://www.itworld.com/software/306674/disable-visual-effects-make-ubuntu-1210-faster
[20:17] <usr13> mathias__: Check the bios settings to see that it is not disabled.
[20:17] <acerbus> g16: Thanks mate. Doesn't need to be particularly beautiful or efficient, this is a one shot thing (I hope).
[20:17] <mathias__> usr13: will do, sec
[20:17] <bulletrulz> hello how to make it so i use the unity greeter on xubuntu 12.10?
[20:17] <Evansch0> roger_: THANKS
[20:17] <guntbert> wiggmpk: show us the output of   df -h in a !pastebin please
[20:17] <GermainZ> I can't adjust screen brightness (it's always locked to the max) (tried via hotkeys, system settings and shell commands). Any suggestions?
[20:18] <Evansch0> roger_: i shall tell you if it works
[20:18] <roger_> Evansch0: then there is also this(which was located on that previous link); http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/06/11-tips-to-speed-up-computers-running.html
[20:18] <wiggmpk> guntbert: 47GB's worth of logs would do it I guess
[20:18] <F3Speech> Need help installing a HP Laserjet 1200 via a usb to serial adaptor using ubuntu server cli and cups cli or web interface! Currently Ive had it print a test page but network users couldnt print so I tweaked and now I cant even see the printer. Could really use a hand to point the way...
[20:19] <guntbert> wiggmpk: do you need help or do you just want to chat?
[20:19] <usr13> F3Speech: firefox localhost:631
[20:19] <F3Speech> usr13: web interface works well
[20:19] <wiggmpk> guntbert: I thought I did, might still need help.. but it looks like my logs are growing out of control
[20:20] <F3Speech> usr13: its currently saing an unknown printer is attached locally, previous it was correctly showing the hp connected.
[20:20] <guntbert> wiggmpk: that looks like maybe logrotate didn't get told about all logs
[20:21] <wiggmpk> guntbert: how can I safely remove all the logs and kinda start over logging, if that makes sense
[20:21] <k1l_> wiggmpk: maybe something is just spamming errors?
[20:21] <wiggmpk> k1l_: thats a lot of spam for overnight
[20:22] <k1l_> wiggmpk: did you take a look? maybe there is some hdd failure causing that?
[20:22] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: What log file is so full? Try 'du -shx /var/log/* | sort -rn | grep G'
[20:22] <F3Speech> usr13: any advice?
[20:23] <usr13> F3Speech: Modify Printer
[20:23] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: ufw.log and kern.log are at 16G each, guess I could scale down the firewall logging
[20:24] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: syslog is pretty big too
[20:24] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Can you look what kind of errors they give? 'tail -f /var/log/syslog'
[20:24] <g16> wiggmpk: there's an application called logrotate, maybe it could help you
[20:25] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: syslog looks liek a bunch of UFW audits
[20:25] <F3Speech> usr13: with the greatest respect I'm looking for a little more detail, the printer isnt added because its unknown so I can moodift printer
[20:25] <wiggmpk> g16: not too familiar with logrotate, im still a newbie
[20:25] <F3Speech> usr13: *cant modify it*
[20:25] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Did you configure anything different for the ufw?
[20:26] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: i might have FULL logging on
[20:26] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: ROFL
[20:26] <sirdotalus> can anyone tell me if there is an analytics program that scans my computer for any packages installed beyond the basic operating system install
[20:26] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: yeah... lol probably isnt good when your downloading a torrent overnight
[20:26] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: You might wanna turn that off as soon as possible
[20:26] <g16> sirdotalus: dpkg -l
[20:26] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: how can I remove these logs safely?
[20:26] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Try to log only dropped
[20:27] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: First change the setting, then run logrotate -F /etc/logrotate.conf
[20:27] <usr13> F3Speech: Add Printer
[20:27] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Oh and reload /restart ufw
[20:27] <sirdotalus> thank you g16
[20:28] <g16> sorry sirdotalus, it's dpkg —get-selections actually
[20:28] <KGB_Spirtnoye> i hate you
[20:28] <KGB_Spirtnoye> all of you
[20:28] <KGB_Spirtnoye> SAIL HATAN!
[20:28] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: cant even open gufw =(
[20:28] <guntbert> KGB_Spirtnoye: STOP
[20:28] <F3Speech> usr13: Thanks... anyone else familiar with cups?
[20:28] <sirdotalus> now i must ask if you have a command to remove all of those packages. i am attempting to bring my system back to the point where it is a fresh install but without having to re-download the install iso and make a new install usb
[20:29] <usr13> F3Speech: Under Printers, are there any printers listed?
[20:29] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Lol, try 'sudo service ufw stop' and then 'logrotate -F /etc/logrotate.conf'
[20:29] <F3Speech> no
[20:29] <usr13> F3Speech: If not, go to Administration tab and click "Add Printer"
[20:29] <llutz> sirdotalus: that commands list ALL installed packages, there is no easy way to get a list of packages installed after basic setup
[20:29] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: I got it, I feel like such a tool lol, I just deleted a smaller log to give me enough to operate with
[20:30] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Then edit the setting via gufw and start ufw again
[20:30] <sirdotalus> thank you luts
[20:30] <sirdotalus> lutz
[20:30] <F3Speech> usr13: ok saying nothing to add locally
[20:30] <k1l_> !guidelines > KGB_Spirtnoye
[20:30] <sirdotalus> i guess i am doing a system reinstall of my os
[20:30] <sirdotalus> i appreciate the help guys
[20:30] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: in the interest of learning, what exactly does "logrotate -F /etc/logrotate.conf" do?
[20:31] <usr13> F3Speech: Unplug the printer from existing USB port and plug into another.
[20:31] <KGB_Spirtnoye> nmap
[20:31] <sirdotalus> one more question. is your handle llutz a refrence to the classic phantasy star games or am i just a crazy person
[20:31] <tgm4883> sirdotalus, is something broken?
[20:31] <KGB_Spirtnoye> For the LULZ
[20:31] <guntbert> wiggmpk: logrotate is a tool that compresses/deletes old log files
[20:31] <k1l_> KGB_Spirtnoye: last warning. keep this channel clear for ubuntu support. thank you
[20:31] <F3Speech> usr13: ok saying unknown under local printers now
[20:31] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: It runs logrotate with the configuration found in /etc/logrotate.conf, which usally also includes the config in /etc/logrotate.d/. In /etc/logrotate.d/ is defined how each service should be rotated, eg how many files should be kept and if compression should be used
[20:31] <guntbert> wiggmpk: normally it runs daily
[20:32] <F3Speech> usr13: cancle that its gone again
[20:32] <usr13> F3Speech: Is the printer powered up?
[20:32] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: I get a bad argument -F: unknown error
[20:32] <sirdotalus> tgm yes i have been experiencing internal errors but it is not a big issue because this os is fairly new and i have a usb back up of my snes games and the very few text files i want to save
[20:32] <F3Speech> usr13: yes
[20:32] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Basically logrotate will move the logfile to logfile.1 and the day after to logfile.2.gz in default behavior
[20:32] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: -f sorry
[20:32] <tgm4883> guntbert, probably still is running daily, but those logs he listed as large get rotated weekly
[20:32] <sirdotalus> i just didnt want to do a re install because the download takes forever.
[20:32] <KGB_Spirtnoye> -p will specify the port on nmap
[20:33] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: now if I manually deleted logs in the past, would it screw up logrotate?
[20:33] <KGB_Spirtnoye> did you know that nmap has over 468 pages of help and that still doesn't even cover all of it?
[20:33] <tgm4883> sirdotalus, 12.04?
[20:33] <guntbert> tgm4883: I suspect he somehow stopped it or the services were not handled properly - I have seen both things happen :)
[20:33] <sirdotalus> i jsut got this computer two weeks ago and ive had ubuntu on it for like 4 or 5 days so...
[20:33] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Nope, logrotate would not care.
[20:33] <KGB_Spirtnoye> armitage will enable you to pentest your neighbors.
[20:33] <odyssey4me> This is driving me nuts - I'm getting "can't read superblock" on a new xfs partition, with "XFS (sdae1): last sector read failed" in dmesg. I've tried removing the partition and recreating it. Any idea what else I can do?
[20:33] <sirdotalus> yes 12.4 its just because i was having problems installing the game nethack.
[20:34] <F3Speech> usr13: printer usb shows up as "Bus 007 Device 003: ID 067b:2305 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2305 Parallel Port" from lsusb
[20:34] <tgm4883> sirdotalus, this might help  http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/precise/daily-live/20130210/precise-desktop-amd64.manifest
[20:34] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: It works with what it finds, if it's not there then it does not rotate it
[20:34] <usr13> F3Speech: Configure it.
[20:34] <usr13> F3Speech: Open a terminal, type lpq, hit enter.  What does it say?
[20:34] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: kk, should this be an immediate change? cause im still at 90% disk space used
[20:34] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Run it again pls
[20:34] <sirdotalus> but like i said its not a big deal i dont have much personal info on this  computer and its already backed up to a usb drive
[20:35] <yeehaw> First it only renames to .1 , the second time it moves the .1 file, gzips it and calls it .2.gz
[20:35] <F3Speech> usr13: lpq cannt be found
[20:35] <sirdotalus> i am already torrenting the install iso from the ubuntu webpage. thank you for your help tgm i will look into your website
[20:35] <F3Speech> usr13: lpr or lprng available
[20:35] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: lol disk space going in the wrong direction *pulls hair out*
[20:35] <tgm4883> yeehaw, I wouldn't think that would depend on how many times it is run, it should be based on date
[20:36] <tgm4883> yeehaw, and really, he could just gzip the log file himself (or even rm it)
[20:36] <yeehaw> tgm4883: Hmm, I have had succes in the past by running it twice :P
[20:36] <usr13> F3Speech: lsb_release -r
[20:36] <usr13> F3Speech: What does that say?
[20:36] <wiggmpk> tgm4883: at this point I'd rather remove all logs and start over and just keep an eye on it
[20:37] <F3Speech> usr13: 12.04
[20:37] <Evansch0> roger_: thanks it is working very very well
[20:37] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Did you stop ufw yet?
[20:37] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Or edited the config?
[20:37] <roger_> Evansch0: yw
[20:37] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: yeah, and turned off logging
[20:37] <Evansch0> :D
[20:37] <tgm4883> wiggmpk, which log files are super large?
[20:37] <usr13> F3Speech: sudo apt-get install cups
[20:37] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Ok, if I'm not mistaken you should have some pretty big .1 logs now
[20:37] <roger_> Evansch0: yeah in the end I ended up uninstalling ubuntu and installing xubuntu
[20:37] <wiggmpk> tgm4883: ufw.log, kern.log, and syslog
[20:37] <F3Speech> usr13: its already installed
[20:38] <Evansch0> i am using Pantheon
[20:38] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: ok just got back another 20% of disk space after the command finished
[20:38] <tgm4883> wiggmpk, personally, i'd do some work to keep the last 1000 lines of those files, but you can probably just rm them
[20:38] <Evansch0> roger_: i am using Pantheon
[20:38] <Evansch0> there i forgot to use that :P
[20:39] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: tgm4883: I would do a reboot after that, since the files probably won't be deleted while in use
[20:39] <usr13> F3Speech: sudo apt-get install cups-bsd
[20:39] <wiggmpk> tgm4883: is there any chance of potentially breaking my system if I run sudo rm -rf /var/log/* ??
[20:39] <tgm4883> wiggmpk, sudo tail -n 1000 /var/log/syslog > /var/log/syslog.tmp && sudo mv /var/log/syslog.tmp /var/log/syslog
[20:39] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Don't do that
[20:39] <tgm4883> wiggmpk, system, probably not. But don't do that
[20:39] <yeehaw> Do what tgm4883 said
[20:40] <Evansch0> roger_: the desktop kinda looks like its a mac
[20:40] <tgm4883> wiggmpk, there is probably other software that won't like not having a log file
[20:40] <roger_> Evansch0: cool thanks.. I'll have to check it out
[20:40] <Evansch0> roger_: but .... its still under developement thought i should tell ya :D
[20:40]  * tgm4883 lunch
[20:41] <pawleeq> hello
[20:41] <Evansch0> hi
[20:41] <usr13> F3Speech: sudo apt-get install cups-client cups-common cups-ppdc
[20:41] <profiler1982> is it possible to install 13.04 via wubi
[20:41] <wiggmpk> tgm4883: permission denied /var/log/syslog.tmp
[20:41] <wiggmpk> tgm4883: with sudo
[20:41] <pawleeq> I need to estabilish a a connection with a live CD in distatn location, is that possible?
[20:41] <Evansch0> who has a processor that runs faster than 2.0 Ghz
[20:41]  * Evansch0 raises his hand
[20:42] <usr13> pawleeq: Probably.  What kind of connection?  ssh?
[20:42] <xangua> !13.04 | profiler1982
[20:42] <HfE2000> \bye
[20:42] <g16> wiggmpk:  replace "   > /var/log/syslog.tmp   " with "  | tee /var/log/syslog.tmp  "
[20:42] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Yes with sudo. And don't use rm -rf, but rather rm -r. -f removes al questions and if you make a mistake you have a problem
[20:42] <joshu> can someone explain how to upgrade the kernel using this http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.7.7-raring/
[20:42] <pawleeq> usr13, ssh might be
[20:42] <Evansch0> no one else?
[20:42] <profiler1982> yes 13.04
[20:42] <k1l> !who | Evansch0
[20:42] <g16> wiggmpk: sorry, sudo tee
[20:42] <Evansch0> no just everyone :D
[20:43] <k1l> Evansch0: do you have a support issue?
[20:43] <Evansch0> nope :)
[20:43] <xangua> joshu you should use the kernel provided by official ubuntu repositories
[20:43] <Evansch0> just asking :)
[20:43] <joshu> xangua how do you mean?
[20:43] <profiler1982> tnx
[20:43] <Evansch0> for no particular reason o.o
[20:43] <wiggmpk> g16: so this "sudo tail -n 1000 /var/log/syslog |tee /var/log/syslog.tmp && sudo mv /var/log/syslog.tmp /var/log/syslog"
[20:43] <k1l> Evansch0: than please keep this channel clear for the support issues. we have the #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting
[20:43] <GermainZ> I can't adjust screen brightness (it's always locked to the max) (tried via hotkeys, system settings and shell commands). Any suggestions?
[20:43] <wiggmpk> g16: so this "sudo tail -n 1000 /var/log/syslog | tee /var/log/syslog.tmp && sudo mv /var/log/syslog.tmp /var/log/syslog"
[20:44] <g16> wiggmpk: sudo tee
[20:44] <pawleeq> usr13, I need to connect 12.04 Live CD running on static IP address (if this info helps you)
[20:44] <wiggmpk> g16: done
[20:44] <yeehaw> GermainZ: What GPU do you have and do you boot with UEFI?
[20:45] <GermainZ> GT540M (tried both proprietary drivers and open source), no UEFI.
[20:45] <wiggmpk> g16: and im assuming i can do the same for ufw.log and kern.log?
[20:46] <yeehaw> GermainZ: http://askubuntu.com/questions/139796/cannot-adjust-brightness-on-my-packard-bell-easynote-ts11hr-127ge-laptop
[20:46] <GermainZ> yeehaw, I think I tried that. I'll try again, tho. Thanks.
[20:46] <g16> wiggmpk: yeah, tee is just like > with the only difference being: > belongs to Bash which was not run as sudo
[20:47] <wiggmpk> g16: yeehaw: tgm4883: thanks for your help, I really appreciate it =)
[20:47] <g16> and of course, the other being it pollutes the terminal.
[20:47] <g16> :p
[20:47] <joshu> xangua the reason I asked about updating the kernel is because I'm unable to get my huawei usb modem working and someone suggested that i update the kernel
[20:47] <yeehaw> g16: Can you elaborate on that?
[20:47] <g16> tee writes to stdout and file
[20:48] <usr13> pawleeq: You have to install openssh-server  See:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHLiveCD
[20:48] <g16> so 1000 lines will cover the commands and error messages, which is not nice.
[20:49] <yeehaw> g16: But you told him to use tee instead of >, while tee goes to both stdout and file?
[20:49] <yeehaw> g16: Is that not more polluting then only > or >> ?
[20:49] <seferis> hello. So, I've just installed xchat on 12.4 LTS... how do I start this program from the command line? I don't want to put stuffs on the launcher...
[20:50] <yeehaw> seferis: programname &
[20:50] <g16> yeehaw: he got permission denied while running sudo command > /var/whatever, this is because > is not passed to command, it's interpreted by Bash, which hasn't the sudo.
[20:50] <g16> But sudo tee has the sudo, so no perm denied.
[20:50] <yeehaw> g16: Aah, I get it :-)
[20:50] <mcsmurf> hi, I'm trying to help someone else who has some strange graphic problems using a Nvidia graphics card with Ubuntu 12.04
[20:50] <g16> tee will however clutter the terminal by default.
[20:50] <seferis> yeehaw: Do I have to set path first? create an executable??
[20:51] <mcsmurf> menus look either like this https://bug838351.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=711338 or this https://bug838351.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=711352
[20:51] <seferis> yeehaw: & simply means run the program in the background, doesn't it?
[20:51] <mcsmurf> so flipped and/or black; this is some headless box, but same problem occurs when using VNC and some KVM switch
[20:51] <mcsmurf> someone has seen graphic problems like that before?
[20:51] <tgm4883> ah my bad, I always forget about that
[20:51] <yeehaw> seferis: If it is installed via APT and you know the excact name you could probably use tab-completion and yes, that 's right
[20:51] <mcsmurf> simple X-apps like xeyes are black-in-black, too
[20:51] <Naphatul> ok so after installing xorg, xserver-xorg, slim and a ton of stuff like that i still can't set up cinnamon, any help?
[20:51] <Naphatul> this is on a minimal iso btw
[20:52] <yeehaw> seferis: Because opening a new terminal for every program you wanto run is a hassle :P
[20:54] <cliff__> Can someone help me configure my ubuntu server's network configuration?  I'm connected to a router that's not using NAT, and I'm lost
[20:54] <mcsmurf> oh, there's an #nvidia channel
[20:54] <seferis> yeehaw: ok, one last question if you dont mind -- where to set path so that whatever I type in ~ (/home/username) it'll recognize? especially for non apt installations?
[20:54] <mcsmurf> I'll try there for the graphics problems
[20:54] <belgianguy> is there a different channel for the server distros?
[20:54] <marahin> yep, #ubuntu-server
[20:54] <belgianguy> marahin: thanks!
[20:54] <marahin> np
[20:55] <yeehaw> seferis: Do you mean change your home directory?
[20:55] <cliff__> ah, thanks
[20:55] <GermainZ> yeehaw, that didn't help.
[20:56] <yeehaw> GermainZ: Does switches between current and updates help?
[20:56] <GermainZ> Nope, tried that too.
[20:56] <seferis> yeehaw: no. So, eg. i installed a rpm application package to... /home/usrname/myApps/app123
[20:57] <jhutchins_wk> seferis: Bet it doesn't work.
[20:57] <yeehaw> seferis: Err.. rpm is for RedHat / CentOs
[20:57] <yeehaw> GermainZ: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1962255.html ?
[20:58] <Naphatul> anyone?
[20:58] <yeehaw> !rpm | seferis
[20:58] <GermainZ> Tried that already, yeehaw
[20:58] <seferis> yeehaw, jhutchins_wk: ok, thanks for the info... but i was just throwing an example.
[20:58] <usr13> cliff__: What is your problem?
[20:59] <yeehaw> GermainZ: Well, you might try #nvidia. Because you seem to be able too google yourself ;-)
[20:59] <seferis> yeehaw, jhutchins_wk: alright, the application i was referring to was R.
[20:59] <GermainZ> yeehaw, lol, alright. Good idea :D
[20:59] <yeehaw> seferis: R?
[21:00] <jhutchins_wk> seferis: I would expect that not to work for two reasons.  RedHat puts important components in different parts of the filetree, so absolute paths aren't going to work, and relative paths aren't going to like it being in /home...
[21:00] <usr13> !apt | seferis
[21:00] <seferis> yeehaw, jhutchins_wk: so, if i've uncompressed the package into /home/usrname/myApps/r-project/ how do i start it from the ccommand line from my home directory innstead of going to its directory everytime?
[21:00] <yeehaw> seferis: The RPM package?
[21:01] <seferis> yeehaw: no, it's not an RPM   package
[21:01] <jhutchins_wk> seferis: When you build a package, the "configure" step usually locates and sets the path for various components and libraries, so that will be more likely to work.
[21:01] <yeehaw> seferis: What excactly are you trying to install, there might be an easier solution.
[21:02] <roger_> he just wants to know if can run a file from any directory without having to go to the directory the file is located in
[21:02] <jhutchins_wk> seferis: Running software from user filetrees is largely deprecated, as there aren't many cases where users who don't have root access are allowed to install or run binaries.
[21:03] <tgm4883> roger_, seferis you need to add that directory to your PATH
[21:03] <usr13> seferis: If what roger is saying is correct, just symlink it to a directory that is in your path.
[21:03] <jhutchins_wk> seferis: If you were to be more open about what you're trying to do and give us a general high-level explanation rather than secretive details we'd be better able to help.
[21:03] <yeehaw> jhutchins_wk: +1
[21:04] <[1]Anubis> so how is everyone doing today
[21:04] <seferis> yeehaw: http://cran.ma.imperial.ac.uk/bin/linux/ubuntu/ is what i am trying to install
[21:04] <usr13> seferis: ln -s /home/usrname/myApps/r-project/name-here /sr/local/sbin/
[21:05] <seferis> tgm4883: that was what I was asking... how to do that?
[21:05] <zykotick9> usr13: slight typo there.  /sr/ vs /usr/
[21:05] <[1]Anubis> why r u having a problem with it when all the instructions are there?
[21:05] <tgm4883> seferis, why aren't you just installing the deb?
[21:05] <llutz> usr13: better to use the "bin" dirs, not sbin, which are for root-use
[21:06] <tgm4883> seferis, or better yet, add their repo and install it via apt
[21:06] <usr13> seferis: ln -s /home/usrname/myApps/r-project/name-here /usr/local/sbin/
[21:06] <yeehaw> seferis: 'sudo echo "deb http://cran.ma.imperial.ac.uk/bin/linux/ubuntu quantal" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:06] <usr13> llutz: tnx
[21:06] <yeehaw> seferis: Replace quantal with your version
[21:07] <yeehaw> seferis: Then follow the apt-get instructions
[21:07] <genii-around> yeehaw: More like echo "something" | sudo tee /non-user-area-path
[21:07] <tgm4883> don't forget sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9
[21:07] <[1]Anubis> i have a question you tech savvy ppl
[21:07] <tgm4883> !ask | [1]Anubis
[21:08] <yeehaw> genii-around: I admit, I'm a frequent user of sudo -s and never use tee
[21:08] <[1]Anubis> i just updated my bios for windows but am going to put ubuntu on it. should i go back and install the linux bios or does it really matter?
[21:08] <tgm4883> [1]Anubis, whats is a linux bios
[21:08] <tgm4883> [1]Anubis, and/or, what is a windows bios
[21:08] <szx> nautilus refuses to mount windows 8 partition saying that it's hibernated but it's not hibernated, wtf?
[21:08] <jhutchins_wk> I think we might be talking about secureboot here.
[21:09] <yeehaw> Or grub :p
[21:09] <tgm4883> jhutchins_wk, well that isn't BIOS at all
[21:09] <usr13> [1]Anubis: The bios is not part of the operating system.
[21:09] <jpmh> On ubuntu when I clicked on the volume control it brought me a more full volume window where I could even set the value beyond 100% - now I have changed tu lubuntu, how do I get this feature back
[21:09] <[1]Anubis> no but there were a bios update for my motherboard specifically for linus
[21:09] <[1]Anubis> linux*
[21:10] <zykotick9> usr13: tell that to microsoft ;)
[21:10] <usr13> jpmh: Are you wanting to put a mixer app in the menu bar?
[21:10] <jhutchins_wk> [1]Anubis: What version of Windows?
[21:10] <tgm4883> [1]Anubis, does the update look important?
[21:10] <tgm4883> eg. [Release Notes] Fixes randomly deleting all user data under Linux
[21:11] <[1]Anubis> ummm i think it was xp home or professional. and yes i couldnt even boot my computer without the update. i had to go through a root menu to access my flash to update it.
[21:11] <usr13> zykotick9: So, are you saying that in some cases that's not entirely true?
[21:11] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: Do you have a link to the bios update?
[21:11] <[1]Anubis> ummm yea gimme a sec
[21:12] <usr13> zykotick9: ... or are you just making a backhanded complement to MS?
[21:12] <_raven_> how to redirect the default index.htm to foo.htm in apache2?
[21:13] <yeehaw> _raven_: Why?
[21:13] <usr13> _raven_: I always just use symlinks.  (I make a directory in /home/user  like  public_html).
[21:13] <_raven_> yeehaw, to hide a service on a webserver
[21:13] <[1]Anubis> http://www.asus.com/Motherboard/M2AVM/#support_Download_17
[21:13] <[1]Anubis> click on download and bios
[21:14] <yeehaw> _raven_: Why don't you just fill the index.htm with what's in foo.htm and create a seperate page for your hidden service?
[21:14] <jpmh> usr13: I don't really care if it is in the bar - I just want to get back to the old louder volume
[21:14] <usr13> _raven_: And then just;  ln -s /home/user/public_html /var/www/My-Site
[21:14] <K3rmit> hi I'm having the hardest time trying to get my wireless USB atheros network card to work. It works on my BT5 distro but not on the linux I've tried installing compat drivers but I must be doing something wrong. Can someone help me out?
[21:14] <_raven_> yeehaw, because its a full system on default i cannot just change the default page
[21:14] <tgm4883> _raven_, you want to set the DirectoryIndex to foo.htm in your apache config
[21:14] <woo> Hey, I restored an image how do I write an mbr for ubuntu 3.2.0-37-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux?
[21:15] <rovar> hey all.  I'm having a major problem with my ubuntu install.  I have a non-removable usb drive that ubuntu likes to call /dev/sda.    When I install. i install to /dev/sdb,  but then it tries to write grub to the MBR on /dev/sda
[21:15] <woo> 12.04
[21:15] <_raven_> tgm4883, in which config?
[21:15] <rovar> during boot up, the machine doesn't look at the usb drive for that.
[21:15] <yeehaw> _raven_: Put it in a subfolder :P, but look into htaccess redirection
[21:15] <tgm4883> _raven_, in the site config
[21:15] <usr13> jpmh: So just bring up the mixer and have at it.
[21:15] <rovar> how can I tell the installer to grub-install to /dev/sdb?
[21:15] <woo> !mbr | woo
[21:15] <josvis> Hi folks, any Ubuntu alternative for capturing video&audio from TV-decoder? Previously (in Windows) used Pinnacle Studio with TV-decoder connected to Pinnacle Dazzle DVC 130
[21:15] <tgm4883> _raven_, eg. /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/<your site here>
[21:15] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: It does not mention Linux anywhere afaik
[21:16] <[1]Anubis> on select os it has linux in the list
[21:16] <papa> привет
[21:16] <woo> !mbr | K3rmit
[21:16] <tgm4883> josvis, depends on what you want to achieve. If you just want to periodically 'record' from that input, you could simply use cat
[21:17] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: You can completely ignore that, that's just so that they know which drivers you need to download
[21:17] <_raven_> tgm4883, how does that work?
[21:17] <tgm4883> _raven_, what do you mean?
[21:17] <[1]Anubis> so i dont need to download the linux one since im installing ubuntu 12.10?
[21:17] <tgm4883> _raven_, you said you were using apache right?
[21:18] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: Correct, There is only one bios. It's the same if you select Linux or not
[21:18] <tgm4883> [1]Anubis, there is no linux one. It's literally the same file listed under both OS's
[21:18] <michealPW> amagad, lost all 4 of my Ubuntu partitions trying to install Windows 8. I've never seen an OS in my life destruct partitions without prompting the user O_o
[21:18] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: The other things like the drivers and apps change
[21:18] <[1]Anubis> oh ok. i just wanted to make sure since its the first time building a computer. i havent even gotten the computer to actually boot all the way
[21:18] <michealPW> Thankfully I had nearly everything backed up but I lost my ssh keys. Not sure how that's going to work out :|
[21:19] <yeehaw> michealPW: So they fixed that in Vista and Win7 and reintroduced it in Win8? weird
[21:19] <michealPW> I think maybe I can just create a new key and add it to my GitHub/Gitorious accounts? Iunno.. :(
[21:19] <tgm4883> michealPW, more of a reason to not install windows ;)
[21:19] <josvis> tgm4883 I want to record video & audio, edit same and burn content to DVD
[21:19] <michealPW> Oh, tgm4883 exactly. I'm never touching Win8 again outside of a Virtual Machine…
[21:19] <_raven_> tgm4883, yes i just look for some value i change from index.htm to foo.htm in the config i do not know how that site enabled would work
[21:20] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: Don't sweat it, there is only one bios and you can install any os you want
[21:20] <BluesKaj> windows doesn't recognize ext file system partitions
[21:20] <michealPW> I'm still dumbfounded that it did it. It whipped the mgr, killing grub, skipped over the 3 Windows 7 partitions and deleted 4 (all) of my linux partitions, heh even the linux-swap..
[21:20] <[1]Anubis> ok thank you so much
[21:20] <silverone> i need to compile a kernel to add some support for graphic switching, if i use the default values from ubuntu, what are the odds of me screwing everything up ?
[21:20] <tgm4883> _raven_, how many sites do you have?
[21:20] <michealPW> And didn't ask me or anything, all while showing the Blue Windows logo.. Then it rebooted and I got no boot loader :(
[21:21] <jgcampbell300> hello, I need refresher ... im setting up 4 80g drives i want to use raid and stripe 0+1 and mirror to 2+3 ... using ubuntu software raid isnt that like raid 0 and raid 5 or 6 ... something like that ?
[21:21] <usr13> tgm4883: What is raven tryint to do?
[21:21] <yeehaw> silverone: As long if you let the old kernels be installed you could always choose those in grub
[21:21] <woo> K3rmit: looks like "sudo grub-install /dev/sda"  idk where your usb is located
[21:21] <SonikkuAmerica> michealPW: Is this Windows 8?
[21:21] <_raven_> tgm4883, i have airtime on the default domain but i want a white page as domain default and airtime only with .com/airtime/ attached
[21:21] <michealPW> SonikkuAmerica: Yea :(
[21:21] <tgm4883> usr13, when going to a website, open up to foo.html automatically instead of index.html
[21:21] <usr13> *trying*
[21:21] <silverone> yeehaw: thank you, that kinda eased my mind.
[21:21] <_raven_> tgm4883, or .com/airtime.htm attached
[21:21] <yeehaw> jgcampbell300: That's raid0 for 0+1 and raid1 for 2+3
[21:21] <SonikkuAmerica> michealPW: I wasn't here, what happened?
[21:22] <usr13> tgm4883: Oh, I see.  But don't understand why one would want to do such a thing....
[21:22] <yeehaw> silverone: You could also use raid10, which is both striped and mirrored
[21:22] <usr13> tgm4883: Why not just do locahost/foo.html in the browser?
[21:22] <jgcampbell300> yeehaw, ahh ... so i would have to use raid 10 kuz i dont see a raid 2
[21:22] <silverone> yeehaw: that message was not for me
[21:22] <SonikkuAmerica> michealPW: OK, what did you get?
[21:22] <michealPW> SonikkuAmerica: Well, I booted my machine with the Win8 setup dvd.. It booted from the dvd and showed me the Windows 8 logo for around 1 minute & 30 seconds then restarted the machine. When it restarted, I found that Win8 whipped the mgr and deleted my 4 linux partitions (ext4)
[21:22] <yeehaw> silverone: Sorry
[21:23] <silverone> yeehaw: no problems :D
[21:23] <usr13> _raven_: What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[21:23] <yeehaw> jgcampbell300: Yeah raid10 would be good
[21:23] <_raven_> usr13, because i want anyone who looks on the domain not gets displayed the airtime login page but a white page
[21:23] <joshu> how can I apply this patch please http://paste.ubuntu.com/1640739/
[21:23] <tgm4883> usr13, because you can't expect every user to do that
[21:23] <SonikkuAmerica> michealPW: OK, what did you select when you tried to install Windows?
[21:23] <tgm4883> usr13, which is why you set the default
[21:23] <jgcampbell300> yeehaw, cool thanks much ... think i might as well just go have a beer for now lol
[21:23] <jpmh> usr13: and what is the component that was the mixer and that I need to grab
[21:24] <michealPW> SonikkuAmerica: It didn't give me any options, it all happened while it was showing me the teal Windows 8 logo
[21:24] <[1]Anubis> if i udate my os do i have to worry about losing anything?
[21:24] <tgm4883> usr13, can you imaging having to go to google.com/search.html instead of google.com everytime you wanted to search?
[21:24] <trism> joshu: cd into your kernel tree and: patch -p1 < /path/to/patchfile
[21:24] <usr13> _raven_: tgm4883  But the server will serve any number of sites, just create directories for them (or symlinks).
[21:24] <SonikkuAmerica> michealPW: That's weird. I might have to Google that...
[21:25] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: Do you have any important data on the machine now?
[21:25] <seferis> yeehaw: thanks for that sudo echo ... my version is 12.04 LTS. I believe this is Precise Pangolin. so replace quantal with just precise
[21:25] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: so after a reboot and back down to 10% disk space used.. should the .gz logs have been removed? is there an adjustable configuration file for logrotate to lower the time it keeps them around?
[21:25] <usr13> tgm4883: That's what name resolution is for.
[21:25] <joshu> trism can you please provide some more detail as I've never done this before...i've got my terminal windows open. what's the path to my kernel tree?
[21:25] <yeehaw> seferis: Yeah
[21:25] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Just let it be, .gz are very small
[21:25] <[1]Anubis> im not sure. but im downloading ubuntu 12.10 and gonna use it. so when the new update comes out do i have to worry about my data?
[21:25] <michealPW> SonikkuAmerica: I then booted the machine from a GParted LiveCD and discovered the extent of the damage (Empty mgr, huge free space where 4 partitions should be. I tried GParted's partition recovery feature but it couldn't recover anything. Luckily all my data is backed up, but I did lose my ssh keys that were in ~/.ssh
[21:26] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: kk thnks again
[21:26] <_raven_> usr13, i want google.com (in example) to serve a white page instead of the login page and manually type google.com/airtime.htm for the login
[21:26] <tgm4883> usr13, no it's not. Name resolution can't fix that
[21:26] <SonikkuAmerica> michealPW: I dunno what to tell ya... Try installing Windows, then Ubuntu, and then recover what you can.
[21:26] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: Normal system updates won't wipe your data, but a upgrade from 12.10 to a newer version could cause problems
[21:26] <yeehaw> !backup | [1]Anubis
[21:26] <auronandace> [1]Anubis: whenever upgrading backup what you need
[21:26] <michealPW> Nono, Windows not going on the machine anymore except in a sandboxed virtual machine.
[21:27] <K3rmit> What does this mean? "FATAL: Error inserting ath9k_htc (/lib/modules/2.6.32-35-generic/updates/drivers/net/wireless....."
[21:27] <usr13> _raven_: So just set index.html as the white page
[21:27] <michealPW> haha
[21:27] <_raven_> usr13, i cannot because the whole airtime system references to the default page!!
[21:27] <usr13> _raven_: index.html can be anything you want it to be (redirect)
[21:27] <SonikkuAmerica> michealPW: OK, then just reinstall Ubuntu and use whatever you used for !backup to recover your Ubuntu stuff.
[21:27] <yeehaw> _raven_: Put the airtime app in a subfolder
[21:28] <michealPW> Put Ubuntu back in the machine, no backup of ~/.ssh though. Not sure what kind of problems that's going to cause down the road :|
[21:28] <trism> joshu: probably beyond the scope of this channel if you don't already have the kernel sources
[21:28] <yeehaw> _raven_: Then you would hve website.com as a white page and website.com/airtime as your app
[21:28] <[1]Anubis> so i might have to worry about my diablo 3 that im gonna download when endlife hits on april 2014?
[21:28] <SonikkuAmerica> michealPW: All I can see is you'll have to re-enter your SSH keys again.
[21:29] <_raven_> yeehaw, i do not want to move it myself who knows which dependencies there are
[21:29] <michealPW> Was wondering if anybody else heard of this before with Win8 deleting Linux (ext4) partitions
[21:29] <joshu> trism ah is this not something I can do with an already install desktop 12.04 os?
[21:29] <michealPW> Hopefully I'm not popular/important enough for an ssh key change to be a real problem :)
[21:29] <theseb> how debug/fix headset and webcam to work with flash app on web?
[21:30] <yeehaw> _raven_: go into the folder with the data and create a new folder. Then run 'cp -a . newfoldername' (replace newfoldername with the name of the new folder)
[21:30] <michealPW> theseb: Your headset/webcam works fine otherwise, when you're not using a Flash app?
[21:30] <yeehaw> _raven_: It will take al rights
[21:30] <theseb> michaelni: yes
[21:30] <theseb> michaelni: it works with a JAVA based webconf app...just not flash based one
[21:30] <michealPW> theseb: There are some settings for the Flash player about permissions to use your webcam. Have checked these?
[21:30] <theseb> michaelni: yes...perms are fine
[21:31] <michealPW> Hrmm, weird. Sorry, not sure :|
[21:31] <yeehaw> _raven_: You can then test if it still works, before you remove all the data from the upper folder
[21:31] <michealPW> Maybe it's a bug in adobe's Flash player on linux? Wonder if other people have same problem
[21:31] <_raven_> yeehaw, ok perhaps its an option
[21:31] <_raven_> tnx
[21:31] <yeehaw> welcome
[21:31] <michealPW> My linux machines don't have webcams to test sorry, just this MacBook Pro does hehe
[21:31] <theseb> michealPW: i've noticed stuff on windows just works
[21:31] <tgm4883> usr13, _raven_ sorry, work came up. Where are we at?
[21:31] <tgm4883> moving the dir?
[21:31] <theseb> michealPW: linux ..adobe doesn't take the time :()
[21:32] <michealPW> Yea Windows' Flash player gets more development time/attention than the Linux and Mac one, unfortunately (*Shakes fist at Adobe*)
[21:32] <theseb> michealPW: any reason Chrome browser would work but not FF
[21:32] <michealPW> theseb: Chrome has it's own Flash.
[21:32] <trism> joshu: to use that patch, you would need to apply it to the kernel sources and rebuild your kernel, you could see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile if you are curious but otherwise it isn't really supported here
[21:32] <dunst0> hello
[21:32] <theseb> michaelni: REALLY? i just assumed all browser used the same buggy untested crap from macromedia!?
[21:33] <joshu> trism ok thanks i guess it's beyond my skill without instruction. thanks anyway ;)
[21:33] <theseb> michealPW: i mean REALLY? (that was 4u :)
[21:33] <michealPW> theseb: It ships with it's own built-in Flash player. I think this is why Adobe has basically abandoned Flash on Linux. They'll just support Google with their integrated Flash player for Chrome and figure all Linux users will use Chrome. Sucks but meh.
[21:33] <theseb> michealPW: wow.......didn't know that..thanks!
[21:33] <michealPW> theseb: Normally they do. It's really new (Integrating Flash)
[21:34] <michealPW> Problem is Google probably signed some kind of "business agreement" with Adobe, right? Not sure how Mozilla Foundation would match that :|
[21:34] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: Diablo3, after you buy that you can simply redownload it from blizzard
[21:34] <theseb> michealPW: maybe my chrome is too old? how know if it has this shiny new flash integration?
[21:34] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: And your gamestate is saved online
[21:34] <dunst0> i have a problem when i use dual monitor, then after a while mouse click and keyboard stop working
[21:34] <theseb> michealPW: wait chrome or chromium?
[21:34] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: You should think about photo's / video's /music
[21:34] <michealPW> I think there's a few good articles about that, since the recent Flash vulnerabilities a lot of people wanted bleeding edge Flash players :P
[21:34] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: Personal data
[21:34] <michealPW> I don't know off the top of my head, I don't use Chrome/Chromium :P
[21:35] <seferis> yeehaw: i've tried the sudo echo, and also vi sources.list... both failed -- permission denied
[21:35] <tgm4883> chrome://plugins
[21:35] <yeehaw> seferis: And 'sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list' ?
[21:35] <seferis> yeehaw: apparently the sources.list is owned by root. but sudo does the same as root and I don't need to log in as root account to do stuffs
[21:36] <seferis> yeehaw: good idea.
[21:36] <yeehaw> seferis: You need to be root to edit sources.list. Also to install programs.
[21:36] <joshu> trism one final question regarding the kernel compilation with that patch. how long would it take someone like yourself with knowledge of the process to do something like this?
[21:37] <yeehaw> seferis: If you don't understand vi, you can also do: 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list'
[21:37] <iain_> any1 around to help with an apache rewrite rule?
[21:37] <yeehaw> iain_: Shoot
[21:37] <trism> joshu: depends on the features enabled and the system you build on, it takes me anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours (for a generic ubuntu kernel)
[21:38] <SonikkuAmerica> michealPW: Bleeding edge, all right. The latest Pepper Flash gives me "confetti"
[21:38] <[1]Anubis> no i have the personal data taken care of. its the fact that diablo 3 is on a cd. and it only allows u to install it once
[21:39] <theseb> michealPW: thanks again
[21:39] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: I do not think that is correct, it's username and password based
[21:39] <tgm4883> [1]Anubis, that sounds like some crappy drm
[21:39] <yeehaw> [1]Anubis: If you have your account details you can always download the installer from blizzard. You create those details on the first installation
[21:39] <michealPW> hehe!
[21:40] <michealPW> Yea that's what they calling it, "Pepper" (rofl) I couldn't remember
[21:40] <[1]Anubis> oh ok

[21:48] <tortik> who provides binary builds of apps in standard repos for ubuntu? Canonical?
[21:48] <tgm4883> tortik, depends on the app
[21:51] <tortik> tgm4883: can I build 3rd party app and put it in official repo?
[21:52] <tgm4883> tortik, yes, you can do that and submit it for approval
[21:52] <tgm4883> !revu
[21:52] <tgm4883> I'm hoping that is still the process
[21:53] <tortik> hm http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/ is 404, but I will wait... big thanks!
[21:54] <[1]Anubis> bye bye folks
[21:54] <tgm4883> tortik, probably a good read http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/
[21:59] <codezombie> shouldn't `apt-get -y -q` supress all output from apt?
[22:01] <dunst0> hi i have a problem with dual monitor, when a use a dual monitor setup, then after a while i can not use the keyboard or click with the mouse, but i still can move the mouse
[22:01] <PatrikOlsson> Hey guys, I attended to a test in PowerManagement on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/PowerManagementALPM and I want to post my results, but I can't find any edit button. Am I blind or am I looking for the wrong thing?
[22:04] <mcurran> Pulseaudio connection refused for vlc, but all other apps run the audio fine...  Anyone know a quick solution?
[22:04] <ShapeShi-> Hi
[22:05] <mcurran> hello ShapeShi, how about you, you have any suggestions on my last post?
[22:09] <ShapeShi-> I want to make sure of something, I had ubuntu 12.04 installed on my netbook and was able to ssh into it whenever I liked, just recently I reinstalled that system then upgraded to 12.10, I found out that openssh-server wasn't installed by default, is this normal? I never had to ssh into my other comp with 12.10 and I just checked and it to didn't have openssh-sever installed by default either
[22:09] <sebastiansam55> how do I install the "python-requests" module for python 3 when the default python version is 2.7?
[22:10] <Ben64> ShapeShi-: i don't think any of the desktop versions come with it by default
[22:10] <ShapeShi-> I'm just wondering because I never had to install anything extra to be able to ssh into computers I had that had ubuntu installed before
[22:11] <ShapeShi-> Ben64: it's seems to be a new thing with 12.0
[22:11] <Ben64> no
[22:11] <ShapeShi-> 12.10*
[22:11] <SonikkuAmerica> ShapeShi-: Nope. 12.04 has the smae problem.
[22:11] <SonikkuAmerica> *same
[22:12] <Ben64> its not really a problem, just need to install it
[22:12] <SonikkuAmerica> [ sudo apt-get install openssh ]
[22:12] <dupes> users
[22:12] <SonikkuAmerica> dupes: And?
[22:13] <Ben64> SonikkuAmerica: you mean ssh or openssh-server
[22:13] <dupes> nm... sorry about htat
[22:13] <ShapeShi-> SonikkuAmerica: My netbook had 12.04 before I just reinstalled and updated to 12.10 and I didn't need to install anything for ssh to be able to ssh in
[22:13] <SonikkuAmerica> Ben64: openssh-server in this case.
[22:13] <mikkel> Hi there. Im looking for a way to connect my ubuntu laptop to another ubuntu pc i have and have complete terminal access. How can i easily do this?
[22:13] <IdleOne> ShapeShi-: at some point you must have shared a folder and that install ssh
[22:13] <Ben64> SonikkuAmerica: either works, but you said "openssh" which does not
[22:14] <SonikkuAmerica> Ben64: Yeah, it's been a while since I ssh'ed into anything
[22:14] <SonikkuAmerica> mikkel: [ sudo apt-get install ssh ] or [ sudo apt-get install openssh-server [
[22:14] <SonikkuAmerica> mikkel: [ sudo apt-get install ssh ] or [ sudo apt-get install openssh-server ]*
[22:14] <Ben64> !rootirc | root
[22:14] <ShapeShi-> Meh, if it's normal then idc, glad I didn't have a borked install
[22:15] <mikkel> i looked at ssh. How do it up so i can access from an external network?
[22:15] <IdleOne> ShapeShi-: it is normal that a clean install does not install ssh.
[22:15] <Ben64> mikkel: you need to forward the port (22) on your router
[22:15] <ShapeShi-> Also is someone here a op of #Linux? I seemed to have been banned and I don't know why
[22:16] <mikkel> Thanks ben64 and sonikkuamerica
[22:16] <PatrikOlsson> How do I get permission to edit wiki.ubuntu pages? :S I want to upload data from a test I did.
[22:16] <IdleOne> ShapeShi-: try ##linux-ops
[22:16] <Ben64> ShapeShi-: you don't look very banned from it
[22:17] <brokenknee>  /server irc.irc-hispano.org
[22:18] <OerHeks> !es | brokenknee
[22:18] <microm> I get no audio in kdenlive, already tried to set to pulseaudio, any idea how to fix?
[22:19] <ShapeShi-> Ben64: ever
[22:19] <ShapeShi-> Oops
[22:20] <SonikkuAmerica> microm: Is that a KDE program? (Stupid question I bet)
[22:21] <ShapeShi-> Ben64: every time I go to change my nickname I get "cannot change name while banned on ##linux"
[22:21] <michealPW> Apple hasn't patented the whole global menubar idea or that kind of stuff? :|
[22:22] <Ben65> weird
[22:22] <santos> #ubuntu-hr
[22:22] <michealPW> Like, if Apple can sue Samsung for "rounded corners" etc..
[22:22] <michealPW> Makes me worry about Canonical/ubuntu.
[22:22] <jhutchins_wk> ShapeShi-: You may be able to get help in #freenode
[22:22] <DJones> michealPW: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[22:23] <picca_> Apple don't care about canonical
[22:23] <ShapeShi-> Ben65: the specific error is: "ShapeShifter499 ##linux :Cannot change nickname while banned on channel
[22:23] <ShapeShi-> "
[22:23] <picca_> they aren't a threat
[22:23] <michealPW> I suppose
[22:23] <ShapeShi-> jhutchins_wk: good idea thanks
[22:24] <DJones> picca_: michealPW: Can you move the conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic as its not really a support issue
[22:24] <michealPW> Sorry, k
[22:24] <microm> SonikkuAmerica: yes kdenlive is a KDE program
[22:25] <SonikkuAmerica> mircom: Just a pretext, try asking in #kubuntu first.
[22:26] <oisa> How can I add a deb repository to /etc/apt/sources.list via the command line?
[22:26] <tgm4883> oisa, using apt-add-repository
[22:26] <tgm4883> or just edit the file
[22:27] <oisa> tgm4883: does that allow me to specify a past release? I need to use lucid while I am on quantal
[22:27] <oisa> I tried editing the file but I get permission denied even with sudo.
[22:27] <worm> Disaster occured on my Ubuntu 12.10: I tried to add my user to group "video", then I typed "sudo usermod -G video xxx"... Now I can't become root. Any solution?
[22:28] <worm> I forgot to read the user manual...
[22:28] <zykotick9> oisa: adding lucid's repo to quantal probably isn't a good idea...
[22:28] <tgm4883> oisa, You probably shouldn't use a lucid repo on quantal, and you shouldn't be getting an access denied message
[22:28] <tgm4883> oisa, and you would just do "apt-add-repository 'deb http://myserver/path/to/repo stable myrepo'"
[22:29] <tgm4883> worm, You'll probably have to boot a live cd (or boot into recovery) and edit /etc/group
[22:30] <tgm4883> well, in recovery you could just fix it
[22:30] <zykotick9> oisa: don't use usermod in future.  or use it correctly.  you need recovery mode to readd yourself to all the proper groups
[22:30] <microm> what is as good as kdenlive for gnome?
[22:30] <auronandace> !info openshot | microm
[22:31] <worm> tgm4883: Thanks. But which groups should a user be?
[22:32] <tgm4883> worm, probably 'adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare'
[22:32] <zykotick9> tgm4883: sudo!!!
[22:32] <tgm4883> worm, oh, and your user group
[22:32] <tgm4883> zykotick9, sudo?
[22:32] <xangua> microm is there any reason you can't use kdenlive in gnome¿
[22:32] <zykotick9> tgm4883: the group, if you want to use sudo that is...
[22:33] <tgm4883> zykotick9, .... that is listed there
[22:33] <oisa> tgm4883: thanks
[22:33] <zykotick9> tgm4883: SORRY.  i'm blind ;)  not really
[22:33] <tgm4883> :)
[22:33] <worm> Thanks a lot. I'll try it. Once I realized that problem, I tried to boot from alternative and then select "ROOT", and suddenly realized that "/" is mounted as read-only...
[22:34] <Ben64> mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /
[22:34] <worm> So the only way is to create a live-cd and then do so... Thanks.
[22:35] <Haematoma> I have an SSH server running, however I seem to have some confusion regarding how SSH handles multiple users
[22:36] <Haematoma> ...nevermind
[22:36] <tgm4883> worm, you just need to remount as rw
[22:39] <marsje_> Hi. I just installed ubuntu 12.04 on a ssd with brfs. Since this gave me an error "no sparse file allowed" at boot, I decided to put /boot in a new ext4 partition. So I moved around the partitions to make space for the new /boot. Then mounted it, copied over the files, added new partition to fstab, ran update-grub. Then reboot..... then grub-rescue prompt. Where did I go wrong?
[22:41] <crazybrain> my close and minimize button dissapeared
[22:41] <microm> xangua: I cannot get the sound in preview mode, I have to render the whole video before I heard the sound
[22:41] <Batistuta999> hi
[22:41] <crazybrain> what to do?
[22:41] <crazybrain> and ubuntu is running very slow
[22:41] <microm> auronandace: openshot does not show the waveform on the audio, I can't align sound and image with it.
[22:42] <Batistuta999> I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.10 through usb, but when booting from usb, i get an error - opeartion system not found. how could i solve it?
[22:42] <lukas_> hello everyone, i've recently bought a laptop with preinstalled win8 in it and it looks like there are some problems with installing ubuntu on these new win8 machines,i've seen a lot of tutorials but they all vary.. does anyone know about a working tutorial for this installation? any thoughts? thanks
[22:42] <|Slacker|> I'm wiping the win8 partition in my lappy and leaving only ubuntu in it. How do I make ubuntu boot without it showing me the grub screen then?
[22:43] <tgm4883> Batistuta999, are you sure it's booting from the USB?
[22:43] <crazybrain> somebody help me
[22:43] <tgm4883> lukas_, You'll probably need to turn off secureboot
[22:43] <tgm4883> !patience | crazybrain
 i'm setting it to boot from usb, how could i be sure about it?
[22:44] <tgm4883> Batistuta999, you set the USB device as first to boot in the BIOS? Is there another OS on the machine? How did you make the USB?
[22:44] <Batistuta999> yes, set it as first
[22:45] <Batistuta999> Win7 installed
[22:45] <Batistuta999> did it with iso2usb
[22:45] <jhutchins_wk> lukas_: You have the opportunity to write the first definitive one.
[22:46] <|Slacker|> Batistuta999, probably is the usb setup, I had a similar problem when I installed ubuntu in my new lappy, I had to format and re-make the usb
[22:46] <tgm4883> Batistuta999, I've not heard of iso2usb.
[22:46] <lukas_> jhutchins_wk pardon? i dont really understand
[22:46] <tgm4883> Batistuta999, I'd try unetbootin (or if you have a Ubuntu desktop already, the live usb creator)
[22:46] <tyrog> Hello. Does anybody here has the Amazon search function enabled in Ubuntu 12.10?
[22:46] <tgm4883> lukas_, have you tried disabling secureboot?
[22:46] <crazybrain> My title bar is not coming?
[22:47] <tgm4883> tyrog, yes
[22:47] <crazybrain> It's disappeared
[22:47] <tyrog> Does having Amazon search enabled make unity search slower?
[22:47] <tgm4883> tyrog, no
[22:47] <Batistuta999> I'm trying unetbootin. 10x.
[22:47] <lukas_> tgm4883, no i have not, i am kinda new to installing ubuntu so i am really trying to find a tutorial on how-to
[22:47] <tyrog> tgm4883: is search faster in 12.10 than 12.04?
[22:48] <tgm4883> tyrog, I suppose. I'm not sure how I'd compare. I think it's pretty fast
[22:48] <tyrog> ok
[22:48] <tyrog> thanks
[22:48] <jhutchins_wk> lukas_: It's still pretty experimental.  Works great for some people, some people seem to have terrible problems with it.
[22:48] <tyrog> I don't mind the Amazon search feature, I just don't want my dash slower xD
[22:48] <tyrog> tgm4883
[22:48] <tgm4883> tyrog, it wouldn't make the dash slower, that isn't how Unity works
[22:49] <PoolShark_> so something happend and now I can't log into an Xubuntu machine... after I enter login and p/w, the screen just flashes and goes back to the login prompt...
[22:49] <jhutchins_wk> lukas_: Be aware that a System Restore program from Windows/the manufacturer will most likely destroy your Linux installation unless it's on a seperate drive.
[22:49] <tyrog> tgm4883: good 2 know, thanks
[22:49] <tgm4883> tyrog, unity doesn't wait for a scope to respond with data. It loads what scopes have responded and if one is late, it will pop that one in later
[22:49] <awktion> PoolShark_: try logging in via a tty
[22:49] <awktion> ctrl+alt+ (f1-f6)
[22:49] <PoolShark_> yeah I'm in a tty now
[22:49] <PoolShark_> Xorg logs don't tell me anything
[22:50] <tgm4883> tyrog, this is actually pretty easy to see with some scopes, as you'll do a search, results will pop up, then after a few seconds, more results will pop up
[22:50] <awktion> then do a less for your .xsession-errors
[22:50] <tgm4883> tyrog, although you don't have to wait for the other results
[22:50] <|Slacker|> can I repeat my question??
[22:50] <lukas_> jhutchins_wk: i see :/ but i would really like to have ubuntu on my machine.. so what do you recommend? I have 2 separate drives, one is 900gb drive with win8 installed on it and the other one is 25gb one with nothing on it
 do you know why the default option in unetbootin is the version of 12.04 ?
[22:50] <tgm4883> Batistuta999, ... because the unetbootin people didn't update it?   Because 12.04 is LTS? IDK
[22:50] <rocket_> Hi. I have a problem with my Ubuntu. Every time i try to update it, my computer stops working. Any ideas on why this is happening?
[22:50] <xangua> Batistuta999:  you can manually select any linux iso you have
[22:51] <PoolShark_> rocket_: I think I might have the same problem. Mine just installed some updates and now I can't log in
[22:51] <tgm4883> rocket_, tell your computer to get a job
[22:51] <Batistuta999> yes, i choose 12.10
[22:51] <rocket_> After the update and restart.
[22:51] <PoolShark_> rocket_: yeah... it updated.. I restarted... and now when I try to log in it just flashes back to the login screen
[22:51] <tyrog> tgm4883: I had already figured that, just wanted to be sure about the amazon lens
[22:51] <PoolShark_> rocket_: sound familiar?
[22:52] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, sounds like X is crashing
[22:52] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, proprietary drivers?
[22:52] <rocket_> Mine doesn't even start. The screen looks funny.
[22:52] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: nope... no proprietary drivers
[22:52] <rocket_> And it hangs.
[22:52] <|Slacker|> I'm wiping the win8 partition in my lappy and leaving only ubuntu in it. How do I make ubuntu boot without it showing me the grub screen then?
[22:52] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: it's a VM in ESXi that worked fine until this update
[22:53] <rocket_> Does'nt show the launcher.
[22:53] <jhutchins_wk> sladen: update-grub
[22:53] <jhutchins_wk> sladen: Sorry.
[22:53] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, are you using the vmware extensions from the repo or the ones provided by vmware?
[22:53] <|Slacker|> jhutchins_wk, thanks bro.
[22:53] <jhutchins_wk> |Slacker|: update-grub
[22:53] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: repo
[22:53] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: open-vm-tools
[22:53] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, hmm, I'd think those would be fine
[22:54] <rocket_> Please help me! I have an AMD Phenom X4 995 CPU and 8 GB of RAM.
[22:54] <tgm4883> !patience | rocket_
[22:54] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: guest login works ok
[22:54] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, we don't have a GUI on our Ubuntu servers in ESXi, so I can't check :/
[22:54] <SonikkuAmerica> rocket_: What's the problem?
[22:54] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, was there anything in .xsession-errors?
[22:54] <jhutchins_wk> rocket_: You say this happens every time.  How did you fix it last time?
[22:55] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: actually yeah that file is 100K hah
[22:55] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: but not timestamped
[22:55] <rocket_> I disabled updates.
[22:55] <rocket_> It doesn't update.
[22:55] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, so what does the end of it say?
[22:55] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, 'tail -n 100 .xsession-errors'
[22:56] <rocket_> I reinstalled the OS last time.
[22:56] <PoolShark_> something about g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote Peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on async read (g-io-errir-quark, 0). Exiting.
 I disabled updates. >>> <rocket_> It doesn't update. <<< Are you trying to re-enable them?
[22:57] <SonikkuAmerica> rocket_: What it probably did was detect .conf files that were on the old install (unless you wiped your HDD 1st)
[22:58] <rocket_> Yes. I want updates. But, after it finishes installing them and reboots, the screen looks funny and the OS hangs.
[22:58] <rocket_> I wiped the HDD. Keeps doing the thing i said.
[22:58] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: that, and something else about a resource being temporarily unavailable
[22:58] <SonikkuAmerica> rocket_: Oh. Didn't catch that.
[22:59] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, hmm, anything in syslog
[22:59] <SonikkuAmerica> rocket_: Can you run [ sudo apt-get update ]?
[22:59] <rocket_> Okay, will try that.
[22:59] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: nope..
[23:00] <Jcopacetic> Hi can I find a little technical help here? I'm not sure that I found the right place...
[23:00] <rocket_> Did it, it showed a list.
[23:00] <PoolShark_> oh here we go
[23:00] <tgm4883> !ask | Jcopacetic
[23:01] <SonikkuAmerica> Jcopacetic: You definitely found the right place.

[23:07] <bel3atar> widad-charai: hani
[23:07] <marsje_> When starting from rescue mode from a ubuntu 12.04 netboot cd, should I be able to mount a btrfs partition? I'm trying, but the partition that that is supposed to contain / seems empty
[23:09] <PoolShark_> okauy
[23:09] <t0ntin> Hi, All! I'm trying to connect to some VPN services. I get the error message "VPN connection failed" with all of them. Any ideas?
[23:10] <bel3atar> is ubuntu switching to a rolling release model?
[23:10] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: so I deleted the xsession-errors because I had no way of knowing when those log entries were made.. so after doing that, and attempting (and failing) to log in, there is no new .xsession-errors log created
[23:10] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: so that tells me that whatever is happening is not getting logged in .xsession-errors
[23:11] <SonikkuAmerica> Rollbuntu!
[23:11] <tgm4883> bel3atar, no
[23:11] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, hmm
[23:11] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, Not sure, I wonder if a reinstall of the vmware tools would fix anything
[23:12] <tgm4883> it seems odd that the guest account works though
[23:12] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: removed them altogether
[23:12] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: and no luck
[23:13] <marsje_> note to self: when mounting a btrfs partition, it will contain a directory @ which contains all the rest
[23:13] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, still nothing in .xsession-errors or syslog?
[23:13] <Flynn> hello
[23:13] <Alocer> PoolShark_, what is the problem ?
[23:13] <PoolShark_> tgm4883:  a bunch of messages flash across the screen after my login attempt, as X is apparently restarting, but there is absolutely no hope of me being able to read them,... but no.. nothig in syslog, kern.log, or xsession-errors
[23:14] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, what about Xorg.* log files?
[23:14] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, in /var/log
[23:14] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, at this point, I'm guessing at log files though :/
[23:14] <Alocer> tgm4883, PoolShark_ , wrong xorg.conf ? maybe !!
[23:15] <tgm4883> Alocer, guest user works fine though
[23:15] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: there is actually something in syslog... from acpid saying 1 client rule loaded, then client #####[0:0] has disconnected
[23:15] <tgm4883> Alocer, and this only broke after updates, which is odd
[23:16] <crazybrain> my title bar is missing
[23:16] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, do you recall what was updated?
[23:16] <crazybrain> i am using ubuntu 12.10
[23:16] <SonikkuAmerica> crazybrain: Unity title bar?
[23:16] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: no, all I saw was "90-something packages have been updated, please restart" I didn't look to see what they were
[23:16] <tgm4883> crazybrain, what happens if you 'unity --restart' in a terminal
[23:17] <crazybrain> SonikkuAmerica: i mea the bar with minimize,maximize and close option
[23:17] <Alocer> PoolShark_, tgm4883 , how can we reconfigure X ?
[23:17] <tgm4883> Alocer, dpkg-reconfigure xorg?
[23:17] <SonikkuAmerica> crazybrain: Oh, the metacity bar. That just calls for restarting X, as far as I know.
[23:17] <Alocer> PoolShark_, tgm4883 , or maybe renaming .config folder in ~ ?
[23:18] <tgm4883> Alocer, PoolShark_ could test with a new user?
[23:18] <crazybrain> SonikkuAmerica: what should i do?
[23:18] <Alocer> PoolShark_, tgm4883 , yes good one create new user :">
[23:18] <PoolShark_> same problem with a new users, but guest works fine
[23:18] <PoolShark_> weird
[23:19] <SonikkuAmerica> Try this: (1) Hit Ctrl+Alt+F1. (2) Login with username and password. (3) Type [ sudo stop lightdm ] and authenticate. (4) If a terminal shows up with *'s, hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 again. (5) Type [ sudo start lightdm ] and log in again. See if anyhting changes.
[23:19] <SonikkuAmerica> crazybrain: ^\
[23:19] <Alocer> PoolShark_, tgm4883 , shall we reconfigure X ? i dont know !!
[23:19] <PoolShark_> I wish it would have TOLD ME before it decided to go off and update 90 packages, seeing as how when I installed I told it to ask me before installing, because I like to take snapshots before doing stuff like that
[23:19] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, worth reading maybe http://askubuntu.com/questions/189515/my-account-cant-start-gui-but-guest-account-can
[23:20] <Alocer> SonikkuAmerica, do u have ccsm ( compiz congif manager ) installed ?
[23:20] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, who owns .Xauthority
[23:21] <SonikkuAmerica> Alocer: yeah
[23:21] <Alocer> SonikkuAmerica, Check the box in ccsm that says window decoration
[23:21] <Falados> I'm experiencing this bug (Bug #1060525 ) where LiveCD hangs after I select 'Try' or 'Install' ubuntu.  It goes to a blank screen with a blinking carat.  Any way to troubleshoot this?
[23:22] <SonikkuAmerica> Alocer: crazybrain may have to restart Compiz.
[23:22] <roger__> does anyone know how to upgrade an existing 12.04 install to use the new LTS enablement stack? According to wiki there's a meta package to install, anyone know what it's called? [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack]
[23:22] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: was worth a try, but did not fix it.. can't log in using gdm either
[23:22] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, who owns .Xauthority
[23:23] <eduardo> hello
[23:24] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: I do
[23:24] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, and there was nothing in the xorg log files?
[23:24] <caryhartline> Ugh, I made a horrible mistake. I uninstalled crypt setup in a way that is not proper and now sda5 won't mount.
[23:25] <tgm4883> caryhartline, reinstall it in a non-proper way?
[23:25] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: OMFG you're not going to believe htis
[23:25]  * tgm4883 sits in disbelief
[23:25] <crazybrain> SonikkuAmerica: nothing happened :(
[23:25] <tgm4883> crazybrain, what happens if you 'unity --restart' in a terminal
[23:25] <Alocer> PoolShark_, ????
[23:26] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: so I had a share samba mounted in my home directory, and apparently had configured something to use it... but that mount was not preserved across reboots, and whatever was using it apparently hooked it into my x session config and it crapped when it wasn't there
[23:26] <caryhartline> even after booting up a live cd and going into the terminal and reinstalling it. The sda5 still won't mount.
[23:26] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, so all is fixed now?
[23:26] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: apparently
[23:26] <Alocer> lol
[23:26] <SonikkuAmerica> crazybrain: Try [ sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager ]
[23:26] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, nice. Was that logged somewhere or did you just remember you had it
[23:26] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: just remembered
[23:26] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, sweet
[23:27] <Alocer> nice one:P
[23:27] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: yeah it was thunderbird.. I had set up thunderbird to try to hook into my Gmail, but since this VM doesn't have enough space I mounted a share to download my mail... and that experiment ended and I never cleared it up
[23:27] <PoolShark_> ugh
[23:27] <crazybrain> tgm4883: no such option --restart
[23:27] <PoolShark_> that only took 2 hours of my life away
[23:27] <crazybrain> SonikkuAmerica: i had already installed compizconfig
[23:28] <tgm4883> crazybrain, what version of ubuntu?
[23:28] <crazybrain> 12.10
[23:28] <SonikkuAmerica> crazybrain: Is "Window Decoration" enabled in the settings manager?
[23:29] <crazybrain> SonikkuAmerica: nope
[23:29] <Alocer> -.-
[23:29] <crazybrain> it's unchecked
[23:29] <SonikkuAmerica> tgm4883, I have to go, can you continue with crazybrain please, and thank you.
[23:29] <debiantoruser> # aptitude remove rhythmbox
[23:29] <PoolShark_> this is retarded
[23:29] <debiantoruser> http://pastebin.com/bbbwb8XR
[23:29] <caryhartline> I've given up on this and just going to reinstall on a new partition.
[23:29] <PoolShark_> there is no obvious way to remove an email account in thunderbird
[23:29] <debiantoruser> Some body can explain me, Why?
[23:29] <tgm4883> crazybrain, ATI?
[23:29] <caryhartline> How can u tell which partition is the external harddrive?
[23:29] <k1l> debiantoruser: aptitude, again?
[23:30] <abi_> http://gradcon-gradcon4.s3.amazonaws.com/static/images/default-employer-logo.jpg
[23:30] <crazybrain> tgm4883: ATI?
[23:30] <darkomenz> Hello, I seem to be having issues with 12.10 server. I am trying to configure vlans on a bonded interface and the dmesg logs 8021q: vlans not supported on bond0. The modules are present in lsmod. Any ideas?
[23:30] <tgm4883> crazybrain, what video card?
[23:30] <crazybrain> tgm4883: what's that?
[23:30] <debiantoruser> k1l, gnome depends on rhytmandbox
[23:30] <crazybrain> Intel
[23:30] <k1l> debiantoruser: dont use aptitude
[23:30] <copec> darkomenz, do you have the vlan package installed?
[23:30] <k1l> use apt-get
[23:30] <debiantoruser> the same result
[23:30] <darkomenz> copec: yes
[23:31] <copec> Are you creating bridges at all?
[23:31] <crazybrain> tgm4883: it's intel hd graphics
[23:31] <crazybrain> inbuilt one
[23:31] <debiantoruser> # apt-get remove rhythmbox # http://pastebin.com/108vye07
[23:31] <darkomenz> in /etc/network/interfaces yes
[23:31] <Guest40989> I expected to see more people :(
[23:31] <copec> do you have bridge-utils installed?
[23:32] <Guest40989> yes, and you ?
[23:32] <darkomenz> copec: yes
[23:32] <debiantoruser> k1l, # apt-get remove rhythmbox # http://pastebin.com/108vye07
[23:32] <PoolShark_> my god that was painful
[23:32] <Alocer> PoolShark_, GZ
[23:33] <crazybrain> tgm4883: there?
[23:33] <tgm4883> crazybrain, yea, i'm thinking/searching
[23:33] <k1l> debiantoruser: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5194/whats-up-with-this-gnome-package
[23:33] <tgm4883> crazybrain, did you do any customization of unity/compiz?
[23:34] <crazybrain> tgm4883: got it man
[23:34] <crazybrain> tgm4883: thankssssssssss
[23:34] <crazybrain> !thanks
[23:34] <darkomenz> copec: the odd thing is it works under 12.04.1 lts same config
[23:34] <rexwin_> how to check volumes in my ubuntu mac
[23:35] <copec> darkomenz, I've always struggled to get advanced networking configs to work consistently
[23:35] <darkomenz> copec: the only thing i can think of is someone changed the kernel config between releases.
[23:36] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: my problem was pretty retarded, but not nearly as retarded as the reason I have this VM in the first place heh
[23:36] <copec> darkomenz, did you try declaring the vlan bridge directly in the interface using bridge_ports bond0.123 for instance, then it implicitly creates the vlan bridge
[23:37] <copec> darkomenz, I've found sometimes that makes it work right
[23:37] <tgm4883> crazybrain, anything in /var/log/lightdm/* or ~/.xsession-errors
[23:37] <tgm4883> PoolShark_, whats that reason?
[23:37] <copec> darkomenz, like the format of this link:  https://www.stgraber.org/download/complex-interfaces
[23:38] <debiantoruser> k1l, you think, i'm should just remove metapackage gnome and package gnome-desktop-environment
[23:38] <caryhartline> I'm getting error: unknown filesystem. Grub rescue >
[23:38] <PoolShark_> tgm4883: well, the FCC is proposing to mandate all filings for broadcast permits to be studied using this new uniform software the commission contracted out to this apparently all-apple-fanboi consulting firm... and the software is mac only, but they give you the source in case you want to try to compile it on BSD or Linux
[23:38] <k1l> debiantoruser: mark the packages as manually installed
[23:38] <lovefan> caryhartline: have you got another os on your computer?
[23:38] <PoolShark_> (oh, and the guy at FCC who is in charge of this was a partner at said consulting firm)
[23:39] <rexwin_> i am having ubuntu 8.04 jeos installed. how do i run OS upgrade from command line?
[23:39] <k1l> debiantoruser: i would just remove the packages. they are just metapackages
[23:40] <darkomenz> copec: yes
[23:40] <rexwin_> jeos over vbox in Win 7
[23:40] <k1l> debiantoruser: like again said in here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/removing-rhythmbox-and-only-rhythmbox-469826/
[23:42] <Salgado_> Hola, alguien posee conocimentos avanzados frente al SO backtrack?
[23:42] <k1l> !backtrack | Salgado_
[23:44] <caryhartline> Whoops my phone died
[23:44] <caryhartline> No i don't have another OS
[23:45] <Alocer> caryhartline, run info grub from live cd ;D
[23:45] <caryhartline> I ended up getting into this problem from following advice on this thread:
[23:45] <caryhartline> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=868681
[23:46] <debiantoruser> aptitude
[23:46] <caryhartline> What is info grub?
[23:46] <Alocer> caryhartline, tells you everything about grub
[23:49] <Salgado_> Hola, alguien posee conocimentos avanzados frente al SO backtrack?
[23:49] <k1l> Salgado_: no backtrack
[23:49] <caryhartline> I wish I could just reinstall everything, but my home directory has so many photos that are not backed up
[23:50] <Alocer> '/join #backtrach-linux'
[23:50] <Salgado_> Hola, alguien posee conocimentos avanzados frente al SO backtrack?
[23:50] <Synthead> how can I make a two-finger tap on my touchpad middle click instead of right click?
[23:51] <MonsterFanfan> caryhartline: just use a live cd and you can backup your photos
[23:51] <Alocer> Synthead, u have to create a uevent i think ;)
[23:51] <caryhartline> How do I bring the photos from the harddrive to live cd?
[23:52] <Synthead> Alocer: what would that entail?
[23:52] <Synthead> Alocer: I could create an xorg.conf but it seems better to avoid it if possible
[23:52] <caryhartline> I can't reinstall anyways because it says it "can't find the root directory"
[23:52] <Alocer> it seems you know much more than me Synthead
[23:52] <MonsterFanfan> caryhartline: no,you just use the live cd so that you can move your photos to your usb storage
[23:52] <Alocer> Synthead, that was an idea
[23:58] <MrHacks> To encrypt /home or to not encrypt /home. That is the question?
[23:58] <debiantoruser> k1l, do you know true way to totally remove gvfs services from ubuntu?
[23:59] <caryhartline> Word of advice from the upset: never encrypt anything. Just leave it all out there. Otherwise you'll be like me and totally mess up your encryption :(
