[00:00] <daemon> histo, hmm I get 'group dns does not exist' anyway to force it to create it with useradd
[00:00] <protoCall7> and I'm installing Ubuntu 12.04.1 Server, btw
[00:00] <Jef91> how do I configure a user to auto-login to lightdm using the CLI?
[00:01] <Troy^> another question when my ubuntu box starts up and asks for login? sshd server does not start untill i actually login to a user. How do i get it to auto login or start sshd before that?
[00:01] <pf> alguien en español
[00:01] <Sach> wilee-nilee:  have you left?  that worked! so what do i do now?
[00:01] <daemon> ah got it nm ;)
[00:01] <Sach> histo: yes, thanks. that worked! so what do i do now?
[00:01] <ratbert90> Can the kernel support wifi and bluetooth off of the same sdio connection at the same time?
[00:01] <pf> alguien me puede ayudar en español
[00:01] <Jordan_U> !es | pf
[00:02] <Jordan_U> Troy^: My guess is that sshd is in fact starting before you log in, it's just the network connection isn't connection. Do you use wireless on this machine?
[00:02] <pf> ok
[00:02] <Troy^> no i do not Jordan_U
[00:02] <histo> daemon: groupadd dns then do it
[00:02] <daemon> histo, I really wanted: `useradd -M -d /dev/null -s /dev/null`;
[00:02] <Jordan_U> Troy^: Standard ethernet connection using dhcp?
[00:03] <daemon> `useradd -M -d /dev/null -s /dev/null dns`;
[00:03] <daemon> even
[00:03] <Troy^> Jordan_U: static ethernet
[00:03] <daemon> the group dns will be auto created for it
[00:03] <ratbert90> Can the kernel support wifi and bluetooth off of the same sdio connection at the same time?
[00:03] <pepperjack> protoCall7: sonds like there is some issue with your raid setup but i don't often mess with raid so I probably wouldnt be best resourcee
[00:03] <histo> daemon: -s /dev/null will make it so their default shell is /dev/null so you know as well
[00:03] <rsvp> daemon, are u a bot?
[00:03] <daemon> histo, thats perfect its for pdnsd
[00:03] <histo> rsvp: mp
[00:04] <daemon> rsvp, use .help to get a command list
[00:04] <protoCall7> Hmm, thx pepperjack.  I'm not having much luck with the googles on this one today :)
[00:04] <Jordan_U> Troy^: OK, did you configure the static connection via network-manager?
[00:04] <protoCall7> If anyone does know RAID though, I'd be happy to sanitize the password hashes out of my pressed and paste bin it
[00:04] <pepperjack> protoCall7: i imagine a sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda would fail as well.
[00:04] <Troy^> Jordan_U: it is actually a server version so no gui
[00:04] <protoCall7> pepperjack:  let me see if I can get a term and try it
[00:04] <histo> Troy^: How do you have the network configured?
[00:05] <Jordan_U> Troy^: So how did you configure the connection, /etc/network/interfaces?
[00:05] <Troy^> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176901/
[00:05] <protoCall7> pepperjack:  no, that lists out just fine.  Looks like theres already a raid config on there from a previous installation.  I'm going to try to wipe the partition table and try again.
[00:06] <histo> Troy^: can you ping the box prior to logging in?
[00:06] <rsvp> Q: when a GUEST ACCOUNT is used by a guest -- what records are created, and are they transitory after logging out?  They have no home directory, so where is the user trace kept ????
[00:06] <Troy^> histo: that I do not know and we have to take the server down and find out.
[00:07] <histo> Troy^: is it possible that you just tried to quickly and the network just wasn't up all the way at the time?
[00:07] <Jordan_U> rsvp: A home directory is created for them in /tmp/, and deleted when they log out.
[00:07] <cyrano_> running 12.04 and I've recently noticed when my laptop isn't connected to a wired network when booting plymouth gives me errors about connecting to network and will take 60 seconds before it just finishes booting
[00:07] <Troy^> histo: perhaps. as you guys say sshd service should start without even logging in when booting the server
[00:07] <histo> Troy^: yes
[00:08] <rsvp> Jordon_U, do you know the name of that guest directory in /tmp ??? Thanks for your response.
[00:08] <histo> cyrano_: can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file
[00:08] <Sach> histo: u still there?
[00:09] <histo> Sach: yes
[00:10] <Sach> histo: so ubuntu-restricted-extras installed successfully, but my vcd still doesnt play.
[00:10] <Troy^> omg really a vcd?
[00:11] <rsvp> thought it was vlc misspelled
[00:11] <Sach> Troy^: yes, really.
[00:11] <Troy^> vcd is ancient
[00:11] <protoCall7> hmm, after wiping the partition tables and trying again, i get mdadm: Can not open /dev/sda:  Device or resource busy.
[00:12] <Sach> Troy^: maybe it's ancient where you come from  :)
[00:12] <Troy^> Sach: canada lol.
[00:12] <Troy^> Sach: does this vcd work on anything else?
[00:12] <cyrano_> histo: http://pastebin.com/9UgUbvL7
[00:12] <Sach> Troy^: lol .  yes, it works in a dvd player, but not in ubuntu.
[00:12] <histo> Sach: what are you trying to play it with?
[00:13] <Troy^> sach: you have also tried VLC?
[00:13] <Sach> Troy^: mplayer and vlc
[00:13] <histo> !dvd | Sach
[00:13] <histo> cyrano_: do you use wireless?
[00:13] <Troy^> Sach: from a url . The better and simpler solution is to install gxine through synaptic. And believe it or not, it works! Once you open gxine, then there will be an option for DVD/VCD etc… choose VCD and you have a player that plays VCDs. The Screenshot below is of the gxine menu.
[00:13] <Sach> histo: what do I do with that?
[00:14] <clervis> Skype 4.0 for Ubuntu video calls not working. I can receive video, webcam tests fine, but does not activate during a call. Audio send/receive is fine.
[00:14] <zykotick9> VCD is MPEG1 - not a restricted format ;)
[00:14] <cyrano_> histo: I do when my laptop is not docked
[00:14] <histo> Sach: are you sure it's a vcd and not a dvd
[00:14] <Sach> histo: positive.
[00:14] <Troy^> sach: try gxine
[00:14] <histo> Sach: i'm pretty sure vlc should handle that let me check
[00:15] <histo> cyrano_: commend the auto eth0 line in your /etc/network/interfaces file
[00:15] <rsvp> Personally I find Skype unstable -- seems to work fine after a reboot, but all bets are off after using other media.
[00:15] <histo> Sach: http://wiki.videolan.org/VCD
[00:15] <krumpli> Hi, I have an one year old edubuntu installation using ubuntu 11.04 and I am unable now to update the repositories, it is always talks about "Hash Sum mismatches" and "Encountered a section with no Package: header". I am using the official repository...
[00:16] <krumpli> ow to proceed?
[00:16] <rsvp> Skype loves segmentation faults like no other.
[00:16] <clervis> I've tried many things suggested on other sites/forums. No luck yet. Any ideas at all?
[00:17] <histo> clervis: try a different version of skype maybe?  did you install it from teh partner repo?
[00:17] <setuid> Can someone help me with this? (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
[00:17] <setuid> I have all of the nvidia-common/current/etc. pacakges installed
[00:17] <histo> setuid: how'd you install your nvidia drivers?
[00:17] <Jordan_U> krumpli: Please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update".
[00:18] <histo> setuid: do you ahve an nvidia card?

[00:19] <setuid> Kernel 2.6.38 works and loads this driver, but not 2.6.32-42-preempt
[00:19] <clervis> I've tried reinstalling from a number of sources.

[00:20] <Sach> Troy^: sorry, but what do you mean by my dvd dev?
[00:21] <histo> setuid: you need the kernel module for 2.6.32  kernel then
[00:21] <Troy^> well its mounted as a device. most likely it is /dev/dvd/
[00:21] <setuid> histo, Correct, and that's what the above packages build and provide for me
[00:21] <setuid> Unless the packages incorrectly remove the Xorg nvidia driver
[00:21] <rsvp> clervis, pre-Microsoft Skype versions might work, depending on whether they were manually installed previously.

[00:24] <Troy^> one of those has to work
[00:24] <Troy^> krumpli i see it hold on
[00:24] <clervis> OK. Which XML would that be?
[00:25] <Sach> Troy^: vlc opens, but nly shoows me the orange cone.
[00:25] <krumpli> Troy^: what does that mean?
[00:25] <rsvp> clervis, file named "shared.xml"
[00:26] <histo> cyrano_: yes
[00:26] <rypervenche> clervis: What version are you using? run "skype -version"
[00:26] <Cue> Okay so I have a rather interesting one here, apologies now if there's an Ubuntu Server channel that I missed on the way in
[00:26] <Cue> I have a RAID1 setup, software based using mdadm, on 12.04
[00:26] <clervis> <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:27] <Sach> Troy^: if i'm to try a command with /dev/cdrom, what would it be?
[00:27] <Cue> Every few minutes, the I/O spikes to 99% and even vim lags to write a file to disk
[00:27] <Troy^> Sach: i have also read that smplayer may work
[00:27] <Launch_Director> could anyone help me at "grub rescue" please? just intalled ubuntu and that pops up :(
[00:27] <Troy^> not sure Sach that is what i'm reading now
[00:27] <Launch_Director> if i do ls the partitions show up
[00:28] <Launch_Director> but no idea how to boot/mount
[00:28] <Troy^> krumpli: sudo apt-get install -f | pastebinit
[00:28] <rsvp> Cue, More generally on the SLOWNESS of the UNITY DESKTOP:
[00:28] <rsvp> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/803943?comments=all
[00:29] <cyrano_> histo: thanks, that did the trick
[00:29] <Cue> rsvp: Ubuntu Server
[00:29] <histo> cyrano_: yeah it was trying to pull the interface up on boot and waiting for an ip that was the delay
[00:29] <Troy^> sach type gxine in term and then close it. then rick click your cd rom drive which usually appears on desktop or wherever and you should see a VCD option.
[00:29] <Cue> The RAID1 array is what takes up 99% CPU, as a note
[00:30] <Cue> CPU? I/O
[00:30] <cyrano_> histo: some people suggesting comment out everything in the file. which I tried and it happened even when it was connected to the wired network. this makes complete sense now though. thanks again
[00:31] <Sach> Troy^: when trying t open gxine from terminal:  /usr/bin/gxine.real: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[00:31] <rsvp> Cue, it could be the daemon called "whoopsie" capable of eating 80% of available core routinely.
[00:31] <histo> rsvp: whoopsie handles bug and crash reporting i believe
[00:31] <rsvp> whoopsie is present even on server editions.
[00:31] <Launch_Director> can anyone please help with grub?
[00:32] <worm> Launch_Director: What's up?
[00:32] <Cue> rsvp: Well when I see it, it's always "md5" under the command column in iotop
[00:32] <rsvp> histo, but ironically its CPU consumption is buggy (no pun intended).
[00:32] <krazyk_work> If i installed an ubuntu live based distro to a USB, it should boot from multiple computers, right?
[00:32] <Launch_Director> worm: installed latest ubuntu, grub rescue pops up
[00:32] <Launch_Director> worm: other than "ls" no idea what to do
[00:33] <histo> krazyk_work: yes
[00:33] <Troy^> i'm clueless sach it runs fine for me
[00:33] <krumpli> Troy^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176941/
[00:33] <histo> !usb | krazyk_work
[00:34] <Sach> Troy^: but thanks for your help, eh :)
[00:34] <krazyk_work> histo: I've looked through.. it is working on 1 computer.. then when I try to run same from a new computer it can't get past the grub
[00:34] <histo> daemon: user useradd -r -s /bin/false would be more proper I guess
[00:34] <histo> krazyk_work: maybe an issue witht he type of video card on the other computer
[00:35] <krazyk_work> histo: I've tried in various orders.  It will only work on whichever computer I boot the fresh install on 1st
[00:35] <krazyk_work> and I cannot figure out why
[00:35] <worm> Launch_Director: Did you just install it or upgrade to the latest?
[00:35] <Launch_Director> worm: just intalled it
[00:36] <histo> krazyk_work: how did you create the usb stick?
[00:36] <worm> Launch_Director: installed GRUB before?
[00:36] <Launch_Director> worm: but used the partition manager to format and pick out a partition
[00:36] <Launch_Director> worm: never, as in, no idea how to configure it
[00:36] <krazyk_work> from another live usb with same distro...
[00:37] <Launch_Director> worm: man and help don't work so i'm pretty clueless
[00:38] <histo> krazyk_work: did you just do an install to the thumb drive or did you actaully use startup disk creator?
[00:38] <krazyk_work> histo: I'm not sure I understand the difference
[00:38] <worm> Do you still remember the partition's name where you had got your ubuntu in? like sda2 or sdb3 etc.
[00:38] <Launch_Director> worm: sure i can ls
[00:39] <histo> krazyk_work: one makes the thumb drive like the iso the other actrually installs a full system to the usb
[00:39] <Launch_Director> worm: it was sdb2,,
[00:39] <krumpli> Troy^ : it is surely wrong, I can't get package as simple as mysql-server or joe
[00:39] <krazyk_work> histo: I had an iso burned to a USB.  this install brought up grub and I could either run live (without persistence) or install.. i installed to a new USB drive
[00:39] <krazyk_work> histo: I did the full system to the usb
[00:39] <worm> Then try "root (hd1,1)"
[00:40] <mutante> any users of the "planet-venus" package here? (they dont have their own channel and the mailing list did not reply to my questions ... yet)
[00:40] <histo> krazyk_work: you can just burn the iso to usb you need to use startup disk creator
[00:40] <Launch_Director> worm: unknown command root
[00:40] <krazyk_work> histo: now when I boot on a new computer, i get "error no such partition" over and over and afew other errors
[00:41] <histo> krazyk_work: I would check the /etc/fstab on the thumb drive and make sure it's using uuid's
[00:41] <djabbour> Hi all. I've got a LVM volume (called vg0 / public) that is built on top of two md raid arrays. I'm currently in the process of adding a third array, and pvmoving one of the (old and degraded) arrays out. md0, md1 are old, and md2 is new. md0, however, booted with one failed disk. Now, md is reporting two failed drives, and device-mapper is reporting "raid1: Unable to read primary mirror during recovery". I'm in the process of pvmovi
[00:41] <djabbour> ng away from this broken array. The vol group appears to be still operational, despite md0 showing two failed drives now in mdstat. (1) How is this possible? I thought once two drives fail inraid5, the volume shouldn't be readable? and (2) pvmove is running VERY slow. Looks like it's going to take another 3-4 days at this rate. Is there anything I can do to speed up this process or prevent futher data loss?
[00:41] <krazyk_work> histo: AH HAH.. it's not
[00:42] <graingert> djabbour: yes, slow down time
[00:42] <krazyk_work> histo: pardon my newbishness, but what's the best way to go about setting up the uuid properly in fstab
[00:42] <histo> krazyk_work: so if it's pulling /dev/sda blah blah it needs to be by uuid
[00:42] <graingert> djabbour: (I think this channel is too noobish for your requirements - you seem fairly expert) perhaps ask in the dm raid irc?
[00:42] <histo> krazyk_work: you can sudo blkid   to list them and put those in in place of /dev/xxx
[00:44] <worm> Launch_Director: Seems you are using Grub2 now. try "set root=(hd1,1)
[00:45] <krazyk_work> histo: I lied.. looks like it is using UUID= blah blah
[00:45] <Launch_Director> worm: done now what?
[00:45] <krazyk_work> it's commented out "was on /dev/sdb1 during instalation"
[00:45] <Cue>  4097 be/4 root        0.00 B/s    0.00 B/s  0.00 % 63.60 % [md5_raid1] joy
[00:45] <worm> Launch_Director: linux /boot/vmlinuz<Press Tab>
[00:46] <histo> krazyk_work: have you tried to boot on more than one other machien?
[00:46] <Launch_Director> worm: tab doesn't autocomplete to anyhting
[00:46] <krazyk_work> yes.  'm back and forth between 3.. and I've tried in various orders
[00:46] <Launch_Director> worm: and linux is unknown command to :(
[00:47] <histo> krazyk_work: I would reacreate the usb and use startup disk creator this time
[00:47] <histo> !usb | krazyk_work
[00:48] <djabbour_> graingert, got kicked off.. . network issues I suppose. dm raid? What channel is that. Yeah I'm pretty experienced with linux stuffs. :)
[00:49] <histo> djabbour_: that's odd the raid should not be functioning with 2 disks being down.
[00:49] <clervis> Skype 4.0 for Ubuntu video calls not working. I can receive video, webcam tests fine, but does not activate during a call. Audio send/receive is fine.
[00:49] <mutante> when does Skype ever work:p
[00:50] <worm> Launch_Director: Linux is also unknown command? Did you complete the installation?
[00:50] <Launch_Director> worm: yes, it asked me to restart
[00:50] <Launch_Director> worm: it even updated grub from the web
[00:50] <mutante> http://www.osalt.com/skype
[00:51] <mutante> clervis: if you really need the video part, you be better of using Google Hangouts
[00:52] <djabbour_> histo, md0 : active raid5 sdn1[8](F) sdm1[2] sdl1[4] sdk[7] sdj[0] sdi[1] sdh1[5]<PHONE_NUMBER> blocks level 5, 128k chunk, algorithm 2 [8/6] [UUU_UU_U]
[00:52] <djabbour_> histo, it specifically says "active". sdn1 is Faulty (F)
[00:52] <djabbour_> histo, sdn1 is present but faulty... so maybe it's still working somehow?
[00:53] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[00:53] <djabbour_> histo, I thought maybe to attach another USB disk and add it to the failed array just as a stop-gap so it can rebuild the faulty array before I continue... but I'm not sure what's best at this point.

[00:56] <szal> !java | SpaceBass
[00:56] <Launch_Director> worm: error: unknown filesystem
[00:57] <histo> djabbour_: It shouldn't be able to rebuild either with only 1 disk
[00:57] <bkc_> SpaceBass: did you select the new JRE-implementation after you installed it?
[00:57] <SpaceBass> thanks szal , i understand what's required, and I've installed the JDK from the repo and Firefox and Chrome still don't recognize it
[00:57] <bkc_> dpgk-reconfigure
[00:57] <SpaceBass> bkc_, might need to try that
[00:57] <bkc_> dpkg-reconfigre *
[00:57] <SpaceBass> bkc_, I used the Oracle package, and set the default enviroment
[00:58] <worm> Launch_Director: Are your filesystem working well?
[00:58] <SpaceBass> bkc_, so it wasn't installed from package?. although I can remove it, install openjdk again and try that with dpkg
[00:58] <Launch_Director> worm: i used ext3
[00:58] <Launch_Director> so i guess so
[00:58] <worm> Launch_Director: then "set prefix=(hd0,8)/boot/grub"
[00:58] <Launch_Director> worm: the rest are NTSF from my windows partition
[00:59] <worm> As if you can list all of the files in Grub rescue, your filesystem should be OK.
[01:00] <worm> Launch_Director: after set prefix, try insmod normal again
[01:00] <Launch_Director> worm: error,no such partition
[01:00] <WeThePeople> hi
[01:01] <worm> Launch_Director: Sorry, it is "set prefix=(hd1,1)/boot/grub"
[01:01] <worm> I forgot to change it to yours...
[01:02] <Launch_Director> worm: now it says unknown filesystem

[01:02] <WeThePeople> is the a good reliable with no bugs irc client, xchat is gettin old
[01:02] <Launch_Director> worm: it's possible i might have been wrong about the sdXX
[01:02] <Jrad100> no one chats on here.
[01:02] <dr_willis> cant say ive noticed any bugs in xchat.
[01:02] <dr_willis> I use weechat 90% of the time these days
[01:02] <Jrad100> Weechat?
[01:03] <Launch_Director> worm: altough i do remember seing sdb1 or 2
[01:03] <dr_willis> thats its name.. dont wear it out...
[01:03] <dr_willis> ;)
[01:03] <Jrad100> ;D
[01:03] <WeThePeople> weechat is a terminal based irc cli
[01:03] <dr_willis> Yes it is.. correct.
[01:03] <worm> Launch_Director: how about ls's result?
[01:03] <Jrad100> Is their a hotline client?
[01:03] <WeThePeople> that means no mouse
[01:03] <dr_willis> Never heard of HotLine.
[01:03] <WeThePeople> lol
[01:03] <dr_willis> WeThePeople:  cant say that ive needed a mouse in weechat...
[01:03] <Jrad100> Hotline from Bigred H
[01:04] <Jrad100> The only way to get it now is torrent though ;D
[01:04] <dr_willis> i ssh in from my phone to my homepc.. and run weechat
[01:04] <worm> If you can see boot home lib root tmp usr var etc. you are now in correct partition.
[01:04] <Launch_Director> worm: ls shows me only (hdX,msdosX)
[01:05] <Launch_Director> where X is a number from 1 to 5
[01:05] <jeeves_moss> I just upgraded my server and now Dovecot won't start.  What is the trouble shooting process to find out why?  I've looked in the logs, and there is nothing other than Postfix
[01:06] <worm> You may try to use your installation CD and choose "Try without change" or something like that to start up your computer, then you can find out which one is your Ubuntu root.
[01:06] <Jrad100> Hey, I can't see Weechat on her?
[01:06] <Jrad100> Here*?
[01:06] <dr_willis> Jrad100:  what do you mean...
[01:06] <Jrad100> I'm looking to get weechat.
[01:07] <krumpli> Troy^: I can't either apt-get install vim....
[01:07] <dr_willis> apt-cache search patternname
[01:07] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install wee<tab>     ;)
[01:07] <Launch_Director> worm: and i should get something like (hdX) ?
[01:07] <Jrad100> Brb.
[01:07] <worm> Launch_Director: and also want to make sure if you are on "grub rescue>_" or "rescue grub>_"
[01:07] <dr_willis> weechat - Fast, light and extensible chat client
[01:08] <Launch_Director> worm: i'm on grub rescue>
[01:08] <worm> Launch_Director: Just count. sda=hd0 sdb=hd1 etc. so sda1=hd0,0 sda2=hd0,1
[01:09] <Launch_Director> worm: cool thanks, ill do some trial and error
[01:09] <worm> Launch_Director: when you can see "rescue grub", try normal to get back to normal grub
[01:09] <qualia> What's the URxvt.buffered resource used for ?
[01:09] <dr_willis> actually with grub2 dosent one of those start with 1 now...
[01:11] <setuid> Ok, that didn't work
[01:11] <setuid> Looks like Nvidia drivers don't work at all on Ubuntru
[01:11] <worm> Launch_Director: Sorry for my fault. it should be like this: (hd0) = sda; (hd0,1)=sda1; (hd1,3)=sdb3
[01:11] <setuid> I've tried all of those in the repo, and th eones upstream in the NVIDIA website
[01:11] <shade34321> if I do grep -r some_phrase in a folder it should check every file in that folder for some_phrase right?
[01:11] <Launch_Director> worm: looks like it got insmod normal for hd1,2
[01:12] <Launch_Director> worm: what do i type in now
[01:12] <worm> Launch_Director: That's my fault... I got used to grub1 ... and grub 2 made some small change.
[01:12] <Launch_Director> btw nothing happened after i did insmod normal
[01:12] <worm> Launch_Director: try normal
[01:12] <Launch_Director> showed up
[01:12] <Launch_Director> :D
[01:13] <worm> The original grub?
[01:13] <Launch_Director> worm: the normal :)
[01:13] <szal> setuid: what card, what driver(s) did you try?
[01:13] <Launch_Director> but it can't find the partition
[01:13] <setuid> szal, Every single NVIDIA driver in the repo, from 96 through 173 and up to current with nvidia-current
[01:14] <setuid> None of them permit a working X server using the nvidia driver
[01:14] <Launch_Director> worm: when i select ubuntum it says no such partition
[01:14] <szal> setuid: for what card?
[01:14] <setuid> Oddly, this has been working on my laptop for the last year, without a problem. I upgraded to the current packages for my distro, and now it's dead. Including all previous verisons.
[01:14] <worm> Launch_Director: Then press e to edit the ubuntu's location
[01:15] <setuid> szal, Quadro NVS 4200M
[01:15] <Launch_Director> worm: yep i see now,
[01:15] <Launch_Director> inmod gzio
[01:15] <worm> Launch_Director: As if you can understand what we've done in "grub rescue", you should be able to understand the lines.
[01:15] <szal> hmm, no idea about Quadro.. iirc, that's mostly a case for the 'old-legacy' 96 driver
[01:16] <Launch_Director> worm: ye, there are several lines, one says "insmod ext2" ,should it change this to ext3?
[01:16] <worm> Sure
[01:16] <setuid> szal, tried that, but let me try -again- and see if it works where it didn't 10 minutes ago
[01:17] <worm> Launch_Director: Change everything to make it suits your computer.
[01:18] <szal> setuid: you might want to double-check what driver to use by visiting nvidia.com and selecting your gfx card model (you don't have to download the driver from there)
[01:18] <Launch_Director> worm: i should prob put in the ubuntu install disk to check for sure what partition
[01:20] <Launch_Director> worm: atm it won't even boot into windows :(,, lots of stuff to fix
[01:20] <Launch_Director> worm: i'll try with hirene
[01:20] <worm> Launch_Director: if you don't want to do that, you can do this: press Esc to back to the OS menu, then try these commands: (hold on a second. I am going to pastebin it.)
[01:21] <worm> Press c to enter command line, and then...
[01:21] <setuid> This is insane
[01:21] <setuid> Does Ubuntu really go from working to non-working without obvious warning?
[01:21] <setuid> this is insane
[01:22] <worm> Launch_Director: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176986/
[01:23] <worm> If it works correctly, you should be able to re-build your grub configure automatically.
[01:23] <Launch_Director> worm: cool, but i need to know the values of x, and y, atm they all show up as (X,msdosY)
[01:24] <Launch_Director> or i just write the commands exactly?
[01:24] <worm> That (hdx,y)is where your ubuntu there.
[01:24] <setuid> un-fscking believale
[01:24] <worm> Launch_Director:  it should be (hd1,2)
[01:24] <krazyk_work> histo: wow, that tool startup disk creator looks like it worked well (and fast) bout to try it on all 3 computers.. thank you
[01:25] <worm> Launch_Director: as I tried to make it suits every condition
[01:26] <jean_brat> Hi. i am using linux mint 13 from few months and is great. i have windows 7 in my C drive which is infected with some virus, and i want to format my C drive and reinstall 7 without have any impact on MBR so that after the installation my mint 7 should still boot. is there any way to do that?
[01:26] <worm> Launch_Director: Wish your problem can be all solved... I even have not got a computer with grub2 now...
[01:27] <setuid> jean_brat, which part of your question has to do with Ubuntu?
[01:27] <krababbel> jean_brat: probably not, but you should ask in #windows
[01:28] <joint2k> i think you have to do it from scratch.. delete grub and everything else
[01:28] <jean_brat> sorry. setuid . its just a query i think any of you might have experienced the same issue
[01:28] <daemon> hey all if I update /etc/networking/interface to make it static (which works fine) is there anyway I can make it come into place without rebooting
[01:28] <joint2k> then reinstall windows, and go from there
[01:28] <Launch_Director> worm: yeh i'll check in hirene or something, i can't find the partition, i keep getting "No such partition" when i try to run "linux /vmlinuz"
[01:29] <worm> Launch_Director: have you seen anything when you typed "(hd1,2)"
[01:30] <Launch_Director> worm: atm nothing other than above
[01:31] <daemon> jean_brat, before doing ANYTHING make a backup
[01:31] <worm> You may try hd1,1 again...I am getting confused...
[01:31] <daemon> a full one
[01:31] <krazyk_work> histo: it looks like it works.. but every time I run it, it look like I need to click "Try Ubuntu" from the ubuntu install GUI instead of grub.  Does this seem right to you??
[01:31] <Launch_Director> worm: i'll try with hirene if that doesn't work ill try with ubuntu cd, and report back :)
[01:32] <daemon> I keep getting './networking restart' is deprecated as a warning when I restart /etc/init.d/networking
[01:32] <daemon> what is the alternative
[01:32] <ace1> hi
[01:33] <ace1> hi
[01:33] <worm> Launch_Director: sorry for that. you might need to ask others for help at that time. I am going to have a English lesson now, as I am still a student.
[01:34] <Launch_Director> worm: thank you very much tough, i'm a student to
[01:35] <zykotick9> daemon: using /etc/init.d is sysv - use upstart instead "sudo service networking restart" you'll still probably get "deprecated" message though
[01:35] <WeThePeople1> hi
[01:35] <daemon> zykotick9, ah
[01:36] <ace1> hi
[01:36] <ace1> hi
[01:36] <ace1> hi
[01:36] <FloodBot1> ace1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:38] <daemon> zykotick9, stop: unknown instance:
[01:38] <daemon> networking stop/waiting
[01:39] <ace1> does anybody run pidgin as their irc client?
[01:39] <joint2k> yea
[01:39] <zykotick9> daemon: try tab completion on "sudo service network<TAB-KEY>" perhaps?
[01:40] <daemon> zykotick9, no results
[01:40] <zykotick9> daemon: i gots nothing then.  good luck.
[01:40] <daemon> anyone else have any ideas? :)
[01:40] <dr_willis>  sudo service networking  status
[01:40] <daemon> networking stop/waiting
[01:41] <helpme22> hi
[01:41] <zykotick9> daemon: lol "sudo service networking start"
[01:41] <dr_willis> there ya go..
[01:41] <helpme22> HEIL !
[01:41] <helpme22> is there a utility or a program that will test my firewall? to see if ports are open ?
[01:41] <skpl^> can someone hlp me? my launcher and panel wont appear after i login
[01:41] <daemon> dr_willis, zykotick9 maybe this is going about it the wrong way, I edited /etc/network/interface and changed my wired adpater to a static ip and config, I want the changes to be made immediatly not next reboot
[01:41] <dr_willis> helpme22:  you set some firewall rules?
[01:41] <skpl^> i can get to a terminal though., by pressing alt ctrl t
[01:41] <helpme22> yeah willis
[01:42] <helpme22> i closed all ports except 443
[01:42] <dr_willis> daemon:  I just use the network manager gui tool to set static ip info
[01:42] <amr_> Hello, I try a lot to have gnome 3 on ubuntu 12 but it didn't work correctly any one can trouble shoot this issue with me please ?
[01:42] <matts45acp> can someone tell me if a 32 bit ubuntu will support 4gb of ram
[01:42] <daemon> dr_willis, server automatic configuration script ;)
[01:42] <dr_willis> helpme22:  do you have any actual services running?
[01:42] <bazhang> !pae | matts45acp
[01:42] <bazhang> amr_, it's all gnome 3 on 12.04
[01:43] <amr_> bazhang, I mean 3.4 then
[01:43] <bazhang> amr_, 3.4 from where
[01:44] <ubuntu> whois nick
[01:45] <amr_> bazhang, this one >> http://www.gnome.org/news/2012/03/gnome-3-4-released/
[01:45] <bazhang> amr_, why do you need it
[01:45] <joint2k> amr_ this will install gnome 3.4.2   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3     audo apt-get update    sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[01:46] <amr_> I like this interface so much ,I see it's really worth to move from windows to ubutnu
[01:46] <joint2k> ubuntu currently uses gnome 3.4.1 in its own repositories
[01:46] <skpl^> would running low on disk space prevent my launcher and panel from coming up after i log
[01:46] <matts45acp> gnome or unity? what you guess think?
[01:46] <helpme22> what do you mean do you have an acutal service running ?
[01:46] <helpme22> i want to test my LAN to see which ports are open
[01:46] <bazhang> matts45acp, unity is a shell for gnome
[01:46] <helpme22> from ubuntu to a windows PC for e.g
[01:47] <helpme22> because the firewall rules is outgoing and ingoing
[01:47] <joint2k> i use gnome 3 on ubuntu
[01:48] <amr_> joint2k, I try this but didn't work with me :(
[01:48] <Anom01y> man, is it me or is it impossible to work with SD cards and micro SD cards with Ubuntu ?
[01:48] <Anom01y> they are always read only
[01:48] <doslove> my computer keeps crashing but win7 not
[01:49] <Anom01y> I try formatting the sd card to Fat16,
[01:49] <rihen> how do i increase my ubuntu booting spped
[01:49] <rihen> speed
[01:49] <Anom01y> that works, but, when I try dumping files onto the SD card, or creating a directory, it says cannot write
[01:50] <joint2k> what doesnt work
[01:50] <Anom01y> OK NM I was using Nautilus in XFCE which was giving me the Read only errors,
[01:50] <Anom01y> I just switched to Thunar, and everything is working fine
[01:54] <skpl^> can someone tell me wy i get this error when i try to start unity from the command line?
[01:54] <skpl^> http://pastebin.com/ktsrkuRg
[01:55] <dr_willis> Anom01y:  thats weird.. wouldent think the 2 would be mounting them differntly
[01:56] <dr_willis> helpme22:  you could nmap your machines.. but if its on a home lan. why does it matter between 2 pcs you own.
[01:56] <setuid> Can someone tell me why e1000e works fine and recognizes my NIC under 2.6.38-12, but not under 2.6.32-xx at all, any version?
[01:56] <setuid> The driver itself hasn't changed in a long, long time
[01:56] <helpme22> because i want to test if the firewall doing it's job
[01:57] <setuid> [ 1530.454219] e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 1.0.2-k2
[01:57] <setuid> Loads fine, no errors, just never binds to the NIC, nor exposes it to userland so I can use it
[01:57] <dr_willis> helpme22:  go play with nmap if you want.. but if theres no services listening on any given port.. then its basically closed anyway.
[01:58] <AandhrezCc> aa
[01:58] <setuid> Is there a way to update -just- that one net module in this kernel?
[01:58] <AandhrezCc> Hola
[01:59] <AandhrezCc> Holaa
[02:00] <Anom01y> dr_willis, yeah its strange but true
[02:00] <Anom01y> nautilus doesn't like sd cards
[02:00] <Anom01y> thunar does
[02:00] <dr_willis> if you are running xfce. it could be the automounting service thats confused.
[02:01] <Anom01y> ah right,
[02:01] <Anom01y> I closed nautilus, remounted the sd card, opened thunar, and everything worked
[02:01] <Anom01y> maybe its because 2 programs are trying to mount the device at the same time
[02:01] <Anom01y> nautilus, and the other is xfce's auto-mounting
[02:02] <dr_willis> I thought both used .gvfs   but its been a long time sice ive used xfce
[02:04] <Anom01y> I am going to shut off xfce's auto-mount and retry with nautilus
[02:04] <Anom01y> becuase Nautilus is by far more superior to thunar
[02:04] <Anom01y> thunar is so basic its pointless
[02:04] <dr_willis> rox filer. ;)
[02:04] <Anom01y> rox filer huh
[02:05] <dr_willis> been around for ages. :) sort of neat in some ways.  but it depends on your needs.
[02:05] <dr_willis> used rox + jwm for ages.
[02:06]  * setuid still uses and prefers sawfish
[02:06] <setuid> runs circles around anything else out there today
[02:06] <julio33> Hello, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and I wanted to buy a graphic card, but I'm really afraid of that card not working, I was thinking on a GT440.
[02:06] <julio33> Any suggestion?
[02:07] <Gracenotes> Is there some way to access installed/last-updated time for a given package?
[02:07] <Gracenotes> i.e. is it stored
[02:08] <Gracenotes> Or... I don't suppose /var/log/apt/ is my only choice
[02:11] <CheBuzz> Crap, my game is blacked out on WatchESPN!!
[02:12] <CheBuzz> Anybody with a Time Warner or FiOS account willing to help me out??
[02:12] <lidar> hello !!
[02:12] <lidar> CheBuzz, PPPOE isue ?
[02:12] <CheBuzz> No, stupid network area limitation issues
[02:13] <tking> my laptop has webcam, but how do i turn it on without going to skype? like if i need to take a picture?
[02:14] <lidar> tking, try out cheese
[02:14] <WeThePeople1> tking, search for a program in the software center
[02:15] <lidar> WeThePeople1, is WeThePeople your spy?
[02:15] <tking> lidar is it compulsory, i think there is an inbuilt one.. bcos during installation it gave the option for me to take a picture which i did... so i am wondering if there is something out of the box
[02:15] <WeThePeople> lidar, not yet
[02:16] <lidar> tking, that was part of the installer only i "think" cheese is just a little program for taking webcam pics of yourself
[02:17] <tking> lidar ok thanks done
[02:18] <tking> does anyone expereince same problem, when i am in dashboard i type "t" it doesnt display  any character rather than "space" or "tab"
[02:18] <tking> like when am trying to search something from lence
[02:19] <tking> i cant type "ate" rather i get "a   t"
[02:19] <tking> sorry i cant type "ate" rather i get "a   e"
[02:22] <lidar> tking, i never noticed and i cant check right now im tied to an inferior OS to run my company aircard
[02:29] <histo> lidar: what kind of aircard is it?
[02:29] <histo> tking: not here
[02:29] <lidar> histo, usb551L from verizon
[02:30] <daemon> hey all is there a telmplate init.d file I can nick from anywhere
[02:30] <daemon> template*
[02:30] <daemon> need it for a perl daemon
[02:30] <histo> lidar: have you just tried using network manager and configure the device?
[02:31] <lidar> histo, yeah it sees it as a wired network card
[02:32] <histo> lidar: okay vzaccessmanager is needed to trigger the link with that modem I guess. If check out vzam.net they have it there in the enterprise section. VZW techsupport should be able to give you credentials to get to the download.
[02:32] <lidar> histo, it just disconnects every 5 seconds or so tried all the settings i could find ect. ect. there is a new driver out for win7 however ndiswrapper wont work with it
[02:33] <lidar> histo, i never called i guess it may be worthwhile
[02:33] <histo> lidar: yeah I would always try but you may have to go through several people to get someone that knows what linux actually is
[02:34] <lidar> histo, i would still have to dual boot due to some specialized software i need for work however if the aircard worked i could use linux 90% of the time instead like 20% i am now
[02:34] <histo> lidar: also found this http://johnmeister.com/old-cs/LINUX/v620-SUSE/VZAccessManagerLinuxInstallationGuide.pdf
[02:35] <histo> lidar: that device on verizons page shows support for linux so i'm not sure why VZW is blocking everyone but corpo users from the info.
[02:35] <lidar> histo, yeah its out there somewhere!
[02:36] <histo> lidar: the other option is a cell modem router that you plug that device into and share it's connection.
[02:37] <lidar> histo, yeah i was gonna stop at vz store and see if there is one that would use my sim card
[02:37] <Mult1tabS> Это русскоязычный сервер ирки ?)
[02:38] <lidar> histo, they are about 250 to buy them out right then i could connect laptop ipod ect. ect. would be nice
[02:38] <lidar> Mult1tabS, can you type english ?
[02:40] <Mult1tabS> Russia language ))
[02:40] <Mult1tabS> no speak english(
[02:40] <Mult1tabS> bb
[02:42] <bkc_> !ru | multipass
[02:43] <bkc_> ooh sorry
[02:44] <multipass> ?
[02:44] <multipass> o lol
[02:45] <xckpd7> can I get some help? I can't ping <IP_ADDRESS> on my remote Ubuntu box
[02:46] <xckpd7> but I can ping google.com
[02:46] <histo> xckpd7: how are you connected to the remote ubuntu box?
[02:46] <xckpd7> histo: ssh
[02:46] <histo> xckpd7: can you ping other ips like <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:47] <xckpd7> yeah... basically some stuff isn't responding, some stuff is
[02:47] <xckpd7> I'm not getting a response for <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:47] <pepperjack> you dont live in china do you ;)
[02:47] <histo> xckpd7: sounds like a internet issue location wise not necessarily something wrong
[02:47] <histo> xckpd7: yeah do you live in china?
[02:48] <xckpd7> pepperjack: the box is in uk... but it's just some dedicated
[02:48] <histo> xckpd7: or should say is the remote box in china or a country that filters internet
[02:48] <xckpd7> and I don't see why google.com would work but <IP_ADDRESS> woudln't
[02:48] <histo> xckpd7: you could route the remote boxes web traffic through your box with ssh if it's an issue right now. but most likely something is wrong in that region for the time being.
[02:49] <xckpd7> histo: sure? because I just got the box... figured it was user error
[02:49] <xckpd7> histo: thought it might be because of resolve.conf
[02:49] <xckpd7> or maybe something I did when I configured it. but that makes a little sense I guess
[02:49] <krazyk_work> anyone know how to rename an ext4 partition from windows?
[02:49] <con-man> for reals people, why does flash act all weird and stuff? since installing 12.04 my videos are out of sync with audio or they play at 16x speed... on sites like youtube or xhamster or others... any ideas?  it was fine 11.04
[02:49] <histo> xckpd7: you could try tracepath <IP_ADDRESS>  and you can see where it's failing along the ine
[02:50] <histo> xckpd7: or install traceroute and use that.
[02:50] <histo> con-man: how did you install flash?  I don't experience these issues.
[02:51] <con-man> I didn't. I installed chrome from the repos but flash was not installed by me
[02:51] <joint2k> xhamster.... interesting. whats that?
[02:51] <con-man> it's part of Chrome I believe
[02:52] <daemon> hey all is it possible to untar directly from a http server
[02:52] <daemon> without downloading it first
[02:52] <xckpd7> histo: the traceroute: http://pastie.org/4621510
[02:53] <con-man> histo, I have other issues playing videos, every couple minutes the audio stutters for a second or so and the entire OS locks up for that duration, these are videos played either from my HDD or streamed.
[02:53] <pepperjack> daemon: you could do wget http://host/file.tar | tar xfv -   or something
[02:53] <lidar> histo, im on hold while the guy trys to figure out what linux is
[02:53] <daemon> ah cool thank you pepperjack
[02:54] <razaccour> would it be a good idea to install FGLRX graphics drivers or a bad idea? running 12.04
[02:54] <razaccour> I've had issues with them in the past so not really quite sure
[02:55] <razaccour> last time I installed FGLRX drivers it chopped off the outer edges of my monitor
[02:56] <cogdog> how do I in cmd line (I am using xfce) do thi See that root owns comm, and user group dialout has read/write access to the comm
[02:56] <razaccour> Did I show up during the sleepy time of the channel? haha
[02:57] <cogdog> normally it would be something like    -a -G comm cogdog
[02:57] <cogdog> or something
[02:58] <cogdog> but the group that my user should be in does not exist yet.
[02:58] <histo> lidar: lol
[02:59] <cogdog> for real? 1523 users here and nobody knows what I am talking about?
[03:00] <robertzaccour> hey yall
[03:00] <cogdog> omg
[03:00] <robertzaccour> Would it be a good or bad idea to install the FGLRX graphics drivers?
[03:01] <cogdog> are they blob drivers?
[03:01] <robertzaccour> cogdog: no, they're FGLRX
[03:01] <cogdog> Then I would say why not.
[03:01] <krazyk_work> I have to put casper-rw in a folder instead of root, and it is it's own partition (persistent >4 gb) how can I label it "folder/casper-rw" so that when it is mounted it stays that way, and not get's mounted as "folder_casper-rw"
[03:02] <robertzaccour> can anyone recommend a good native shooter game? multi-player online preferred?
[03:02] <joint2k> quake live
[03:02] <robertzaccour> cogdog: thanks bro. wasn't sure, just had bad experiences with those in the past
[03:03] <Seven_Six_Two> krazyk_work, don't use labels for that. create the "folder" folder, and then modify the entry in your fstab to mount to a subfolder
[03:05] <ruffyen> can anyone point me in the direction of a site that shows how to arrange icons that are on the systray>

[03:10] <histo> lidar: Like I said good luck getting someone that understands. Those tech support people just read from books and give canned responses. It takes awhile to get a person that knows what they are doing.

[03:21] <joint2k> mint is ubuntu...
[03:21] <ashi__> no

[03:23] <zykotick9> joint2k: with your logic, ubuntu is debian.  it's not.
[03:23] <uhgreen> joint2k: Mint isn't Ubuntu unless Ubuntu is Debian.
[03:23] <gogeta1> joint2k: wow you better go recheck your facts
[03:24] <joint2k> ubuntu and debian are different then ubuntu and mint
[03:24] <gogeta1> joint2k: and find me a iso of mint with unity

[03:25] <Loopb4ck> how can I tell if I have sata 2 or 3 on my laptop? is there a command?
[03:25] <sexy> so is that secondlife them self or my system issue?
[03:26] <zykotick9> Loopb4ck: try "lspci | grep -i sata" from terminal

[03:28] <zykotick9> Loopb4ck: are you sure you don't have SATA1?  check the specs of the machine i guess.
[03:28] <zykotick9> ashi__: don't use ubuntu, or "it's not supported" - your choice.
[03:28] <Loopb4ck> it's a pretty new laptop
[03:28] <ashi__> mint
[03:29] <zykotick9> joint2k: see ashi__'s comment above... lol
[03:30] <sartan> Sigh... Whatever ubuntu is doing to low leven networking needs to stop. I'm not able to manage any network interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces and udev.d rules are never triggering for my custom ethernet renaming rules. What's going on?
[03:31] <palefrenier1234> where  do igo  for   help on os  detection ^
[03:31] <palefrenier1234> ^
[03:31] <sartan> I've removed network-manager (shudder) and i'm at least able to ifup an interface, but since ubuntu completely ignores udev.d there's no persistent ethernet naming between reboots. i've got 10 ethernet adapters on here and it's pretty darned random
[03:31] <palefrenier1234> ?
[03:31] <sartan> even when i put my own rules there they are completely ignored
[03:33] <pyrrhic> Anyone experienced with virtual box?

[03:50] <gozon> Seven_Six_Two, thanks
[03:50] <crankharder> Seven_Six_Two: i wouldn't know what to change it to and.. how come apt-get didn't do that for me?
[03:51] <crankharder> gist here: https://gist.github.com/3548878
[03:52] <Seven_Six_Two> crankharder, it may have been set based on your location. you can find lists of ntp servers here:http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/north-america

[04:23] <dgrogan> in gnome2, if you try to drag one window next to another one, there is a pause when their edges meet so that you can align them perfectly.  What is that behavior called?  Can I get it in unity?
[04:24] <Gary_inNYC> I see that 12.04.1 is out and available from upgrade.  I have a non PAE laptop (Thinkpad T40).  If I install this upgrade, will it kill my laptop?
[04:29] <Gary_inNYC> Any thoughts what will happen if I install this latest point release on an old laptop that is non PAE?
[04:31] <naildeca> Gary_inNYC I used the update manager to upgrade to 12.04 on my laptop with a celeron M  It upgraded to a non-pae kernal and it works
[04:32] <Gary_inNYC> will it upgrade to non pae kernel automatically?
[04:32] <naildeca> Yes

[04:34] <thomedy> i am a web dev... and im digging in even further than i was before i have heard of floss aps to do flash dev on ubuntu
[04:35] <thomedy> how can i get these floss thingys
[04:37] <JokesOnYou77> thomedy: do you know how to install software in Ubuntu? I'm not a flash dev (I like HTML5) but if it's out there there's a good chance it's in the software center
[04:37] <lcc> hi. I'm getting an error when running alsamixer on xmonad launched from startx: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory. any ideas of how I can resolve this?
[04:38] <JokesOnYou77> lcc: maybe try and run it from terminal with -v and see if it gives you anything else?
[04:39] <lcc> the -v flag doesn't exist.
[04:41] <kanupatar> hi guys, where can I find the mount command implementation in linux
[04:43] <JokesOnYou77> kanupatar: man mount
[04:43] <kanupatar> JokesOnYou77: nope..i want to see the log
[04:44] <JokesOnYou77> kanupatar: ahhh...that I don't know :P
[04:45] <JokesOnYou77> lcc: you are indeed correct. This is a bit of a copout, but what about reinstalling alsamixer?
[04:46] <JokesOnYou77>  I swapped a hard drive with Ubuntu 11.10 into a different machine and the LAN prt isn't working.  Can anyone tell me how to load and install the drivers i need?  Maybe from the CD?

[04:53] <dgrogan> JokesOnYou77: I have no idea what the problem is, but the rename line is weird. Also, what do you mean "doesn't work"? What does ifconfig say?  That might give you hints
[04:53] <kanupatar> I am getting this error while mounting , "mount: mounting /dev/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom failed: Invalid argument"  I have given like mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

[05:05] <utv> it has AMD
[05:06] <utv> Radeon cards
[05:06] <utv> ATI *
[05:06] <lidar> utv: a desktop ?
[05:06] <utv> Yes.
[05:06] <lidar> utv: you need to install fglirx
[05:07] <utv> lidar = when i tried to, my computer said the instillation failed
[05:08] <cowsquad> am I in the ubuntu channel?
[05:08] <RipresaTecn> yes
[05:08] <lidar> utv: you see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[05:09] <cowsquad> okay, I am new to ubuntu, and I would love to know what window manager people uses?
[05:09] <cowsquad> any thoughts?
[05:09] <RipresaTecn> fluxbox here but i dont recommend if your new
[05:09] <cowsquad> So, fluxbox removes replaces unity, right?
[05:09] <lidar> fluxbox as well \
[05:10] <RipresaTecn> well ir can replace
[05:10] <RipresaTecn> it*\
[05:10] <lidar> cowsquad: you would be happeir with lxde or xfce probably
[05:10] <cowsquad> Am i able to use fluxbox with compiz?
[05:10] <RipresaTecn> agreed
[05:10] <RipresaTecn> no
[05:10] <RipresaTecn> there both wm can only have one at a time
[05:10] <RipresaTecn> you can have compiz with lxde however
[05:10] <RipresaTecn> or xfce
[05:11] <cowsquad> lidar, I tried kde but it looks like windows lol. I dont like windows nor do I like apple lol
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> lidar: nomodeset wasnt an option for me, cause compiz doesnt work anymore
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> lidar:ill learn to live with the square mouse pointer lol
[05:12] <lidar> cowsquad: install xfce and try it
[05:12] <lidar> lotuspsychje: ah the lil things in life
[05:12] <cowsquad> so, to the fluxbox users, what is so cool about it?
[05:12] <RipresaTecn> if you didnt know unity also uses compiz so you can have wobbly windows and such
[05:12] <RipresaTecn> its lightweight and greatly customizable
[05:13] <RipresaTecn> and very stable
[05:13] <lidar> cowsquad: i actually kind of like unity .. however its not for weak systems for sure
[05:13] <cowsquad> ripresaTech, yeah I already have compiz on my ubuntu.
[05:13] <RipresaTecn> yah im not much of a fan of eycandy
[05:14] <cowsquad> lidar, so what do you consider a weak system?
[05:14] <RipresaTecn> id take windowmaker over compiz lol
[05:14] <cowsquad> I agree with you ripresatechn, but i like the windows animation lol
[05:14] <lidar> cowsquad: less than 2 gigs of ram
[05:15] <cowsquad> ok lidar,
[05:17] <lidar> using fluxbox i was able to get ubuntu down to 213mb of ram usage
[05:17] <cowsquad> lidar, so do you think that compiz eats ram like crazy?
[05:18] <lidar> cowsquad: yeah running unity ... my ram usage is 500mb
[05:18] <AnDsO> need a little help on installing snmpd
[05:19] <lidar> !ask | AnDsO
[05:20] <cowsquad> lidar, Do you know but any change how to get to work mtp on ubuntu. Like I want to connect my android galaxy nexus and transfer file, but for some reason, ubuntu does not detect my device
[05:20] <AnDsO> i installed snmpd but no port is opend for it any one please help :)
[05:20] <lidar> cowsquad: can you change the usb mode on the nexus ?
[05:20] <cowsquad> My bad, it does detect my device, but i wont let me see any files
[05:21] <lidar> AnDsO: sudo iptables -F will disable any firewall rules \
[05:21] <cowsquad> That is the issue lidar, galazy nexus doesnt have usb mode anymore, it uses mtp or ptp
[05:22] <AnDsO> i disabled firewall by disabling ufw
[05:23] <cowsquad> So the only choices that i have is mtp, which obviously does not work on any linux distro. Ptp works, but it would only access pictures
[05:23] <lidar> cowsquad: install mtpfs and mtp-tools
[05:24] <cowsquad> that is why i am trying to search on google. it seems like a mess :)
[05:25] <lidar> seems silly
[05:26] <AnDsO> i am getting message starting snmpd but ports  are not opening and also i can see any process running :S

[05:29] <lidar> here it is my awesome desktop! http://i.imgur.com/1fjlO.png
[05:29] <scri> jalexandru: login as root, and make sure the users' directories still exist
[05:29] <smw> jalexandru, how did you erase the users?
[05:29] <lidar> jalexandru: use a live cd/usb stick and fix it !
[05:30] <smw> jalexandru, I would normally boot into single user mode and fix it
[05:30] <RipresaTecn> windows ?
[05:30] <smw> lidar, no cd needed
[05:30] <smw> jalexandru, when grub boots up, you need to add "single" to the kernel parameters
[05:30] <smw> jalexandru, then it will give you the command line as root
[05:31] <smw> you can make modifications such as adding a user or allowing login as root
[05:32] <smw> jalexandru, http://askubuntu.com/questions/132965/how-do-i-boot-into-single-user-mode-from-grub
[05:32] <jalexandru> thanks guys, will try and report back ...
[05:32] <lidar> RipresaTecn: yeah have to use it for gps data porocessing and my aircard right the minute
[05:33] <RipresaTecn> ahh
[05:33] <JokesOnYou77> Problem solved!  If there's anyone else here who needs to configure a new NIC on a headless system just add a new entry to /etc/network/interfaces  :-)
[05:33] <lidar> im in my inlaws "winter" home the internet is turned off
[05:34] <RipresaTecn> just wondered it looked like ubuntu but the icons and the taskbar made me think it was windows but if thats windows it makes it all the more nicer
[05:34] <RipresaTecn> much more difficult to customize
[05:35] <loxety> just installed 12.04 last night, boy has Ubuntu changed since 10.04
[05:36] <RipresaTecn> yes it has.. for the better imho
[05:38] <RipresaTecn> hey is there a way to hide the login and logout messages
[05:38] <unsobill> zzz
[05:40] <loxety> the only thing I dont care for is the lack of a task bar
[05:40] <tnm> Hellow! What are the best options for ext4 partition in fstab?
[05:41] <lidar> loxety: did you install myunity ?
[05:42] <dwakar> lidar: so you can hide taskbar with myunity?
[05:42] <lidar> loxety: its better than boys town in mexico ;)
[05:42] <loxety> yes
[05:43] <loxety> I also installed Tint2
[05:43] <lidar> dwakar: no but you can tweak abunch of things about unity
[05:43] <loxety> that solved the problem
[05:43] <RipresaTecn> shouldnt make diff between ubuntu and arch https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab
[05:43] <venkatesh_> hi
[05:43] <RipresaTecn> but you just need defaults,noatime
[05:44] <venkatesh_> how to upgrade thunderbird in my ubuntu
[05:47] <RipresaTecn> venkatesh_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable
[05:47] <RipresaTecn> venkatesh_: sudo apt-get update
[05:47] <RipresaTecn> venkatesh_: sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:48] <RipresaTecn> that will get you latest prepackaged thunderbird release
[05:52] <lidar> soo how soon will i be able to install ubuntu on my ipod
[05:57] <glassresistor> installing ubuntu12.04 server on a machine with a ssd and hdd, im putting / and swap on an encrypted LVM with home,tmp, and data on the hdd
[05:57] <glassresistor> im looking at mount options and typical usage on the ssd any advice?
[05:57] <RipresaTecn> glassresistor: why do you want root encrypted but home not?
[05:57] <glassresistor> and should the ssd be ext2-4
[05:58] <glassresistor> RipresaTecn: home with be encrypted user by user
[05:58] <RipresaTecn> ahh gotcha
[05:58] <glassresistor> yeah
[05:58] <david_> if I installed cinnamon will I get duplicate programs in Ubuntu. Like two gedits for example?
[05:59] <glassresistor> i want logs, etc. and OS stuff on something that can't be altered without my knownledge, or people being able to read the lgos
[05:59] <glassresistor> david_: whats cinnamon? but probably not if its a desktop or something
[05:59] <RipresaTecn> youll get two gedit like applications i do believe
[05:59] <RipresaTecn> as they develed there own
[06:00] <RipresaTecn> but it wont install the same program twice
[06:00] <glassresistor> RipresaTecn: but yeah i forgot what mount options options ssds liked
[06:00] <glassresistor> and if I should switch typical usage to large so it writes to disk less often
[06:00] <david_> and if I dont like it I can use synaptic to completlty remove it and all its apps without messing up my Unity?
[06:01] <RipresaTecn> should david_
[06:02] <david_> k thx
[06:06] <glassresistor> big question for old ssd ext2/3/4 w or w/o journal?
[06:06] <pritesh> how can i open password protected terminal, means on clicking terminal, first asks for the password
[06:07] <RipresaTecn> probably w/o it would write less saveing some write cycles of the ssd
[06:07] <RipresaTecn> enter root password or user password
[06:07] <glassresistor> so ext2 then? ext3 and 4 requires
[06:07] <RipresaTecn> yes
[06:08] <glassresistor> and for my data/home is XFS or ext4 more setup for doc-movie sized files?
[06:09] <RipresaTecn> not sure on that question sorry
[06:10] <RipresaTecn> wow i just looked it up for my own knowledge and it looks xfs is better for larger files and fragment less
[06:11] <RipresaTecn> grrr keep replaceing well with wow need to go to bed
[06:11] <glassresistor> yeah i keep going back nad forth
[06:11] <glassresistor> grew up on resiser and never really trusted ext2 and 3/4 becuase of that legacy
[06:11] <glassresistor> when btfs is ready ill just go to that
[06:12] <glassresistor> really wish zfs had been implemented on linux
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> glassresistor: whats wrong with ext4?
[06:12] <jivora> Hi I want to install Dummynet for ubuntu. Pl help me with this. Dummynet was developed only for BSD based oses. Am not finding much info for ubuntu.
[06:13] <glassresistor> lotuspsychje: nothing really its just religious ext2 dropped so much data and i always wanted to stay on the rieser path but he had to go to jail and all
[06:14] <glassresistor> but at this point things like zfs and btfs are just so far ahead of the curve as soon as btfs works with fscheck and is repairable im switching over
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> jivora: you like iptables?
[06:18] <jivora> lotuspsychje.. I do but i need something for controlling traffic.. I mean the download and upload speeds etc. I used tc with netem but looks like Dummynet is a better choice.
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> jivora: maybe there are other alternatives, what exaclty dummynet does?
[06:19] <newbye> hello all
[06:20] <newbye> ^^
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> newbye: ask your question mate
[06:20] <newbye> could you help me with this error pls ? "ssh /bin/bash no such file or directory"
[06:20] <pyrrhic> So dead in here.
[06:20] <jivora> lotuspsychje : It simulates web traffic. Allows me to provide latency , packet drops control upload download etc.. i did a bit of search and Dummynet is something tried and tested
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> jivora: bandwith monitor or packet inspector?
[06:21] <newbye> sorry, when I get the error when I try to connect with ssh
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> !ssh | newbye
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> jivora: you could use wireshark for packet inspection
[06:22] <newbye> thnx ubottu but until yesterday it worked...
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> jivora: or snort for security analyzing
[06:22] <newbye> something is corrupted
[06:23] <jivora> lotuspsychje. I need to control my bandwidth. i am not sure if wireshark or snort will allow me to do that.

[06:30] <somsip1> pyrrhic: a little
[06:31] <hateball> !anyone
[06:31] <jalexandru> Hi, I have ubuntu 12.04, I want to enable mod_rewrite, got error, checked the modules it seems that mod_rewrite is missing from all my modules folders, what can I do?and how?an info/link to tutorial will be appreciated
[06:31] <pyrrhic> somsip: how do i enable vt-x/amd-v
[06:31] <newbye> could you help me with this error pls ? when I try to log in via ssh I get "/bin/bash no such file or directory"
[06:31] <smw> jalexandru, sudo a2enmod rewrite
[06:32] <smw> pyrrhic, that is done in your computer's BIOS
[06:32] <pyrrhic> kk ty brb
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> newbye: type the full command how you try to ssh plz
[06:32] <smw> pyrrhic, it normally is an option that mentions "virtualization"
[06:32] <pyrrhic> gonna go look
[06:32] <jalexandru> smw: that was easy, thank you so much ...
[06:32] <smw> jalexandru, :-)
[06:33] <newbye> I use putty till yesterday and it worked... anyway if I try also to "ssh localhost" it ask for password and then the error..
[06:34] <smw> newbye, what error?
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> newbye: are you sure ssh server is up and running?
[06:34] <newbye> how can I verify it ?
[06:35] <newbye> I made no change to my linux box
[06:35] <lotuspsychje> smw: newbye: when I try to log in via ssh I get "/bin/bash no such file or directory"
[06:35] <smw> newbye, nc localhost 22
[06:35] <glassresistor> im having this issue, i think it has something to do with sata and two harddrives, just installed ubuntu on an ssd with/ and swap on an encrypted lvm and /home on a uncrypted no lvm on an hdd
[06:35] <smw> lotuspsychje, that sounds very very bad
[06:35] <glassresistor> install went fine on reboot says it can't find the operating sytem
[06:35] <pyrrhic> woo.
[06:35] <smw> lotuspsychje, do you have access to the computer?
[06:36] <smw> pyrrhic, success?
[06:36] <newbye> ok I try
[06:36] <pyrrhic> smw, yep
[06:36] <glassresistor> is there something i don't know about getting the mobo to look at the correct hd on boot?
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> smw: its not my issue mate, its for newbye
[06:36] <pyrrhic> smw, changed virtualization to enabled from disabled. lol
[06:36] <smw> ah
[06:36] <smw> pyrrhic, yep
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> glassresistor: did you change bios setting for ssd?
[06:36] <smw> newbye, ls -l /bin/bash
[06:36] <smw> newbye, what happens?
[06:37] <newbye> it is stucked to first command nc
[06:37] <pyrrhic> Thanks, smw.
[06:37] <AnDsO> how can i set up snmp login when i  try to execute check_snmp_load.pl returns 'put login info'
[06:37] <smw> newbye, did that show anything?
[06:37] <smw> newbye, did it show a line about openssh?'
[06:38] <smw> newbye, it will stay open forever if you let it
[06:38] <newbye> root@ubuntu:~# nc localhost 22 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7ubuntu1  Protocol mismatch.
[06:38] <newbye> ah ok
[06:38] <smw> newbye, sweet, exit that terminal and run ls -l /bin/bash
[06:38] <newbye> so that's normal
[06:38] <smw> newbye, before I did not know the error
[06:38] <smw> newbye, yes, perfectly good
[06:39] <AnDsO>  how can i set up snmp login when i  try to execute check_snmp_load.pl returns 'put login info'
[06:39] <lotuspsychje> !patience | AnDs0
[06:39] <newbye> smw: root@ubuntu:~# ls -l /bin/bash -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-05-18 11:54 /bin/bash
[06:39] <smw> newbye, looks good
[06:40] <smw> newbye, so can you tell me the error again?
[06:40] <lotuspsychje> !snmp > lotuspsychje
[06:40] <smw> what happens when you try to ssh?
[06:40] <newbye> smw: "/bin/bash no such file or directory"
[06:40] <smw> !msgthebot > lotuspsychje
[06:40] <AnDsO> ty dude
[06:41] <smw> newbye, not sure then
[06:41] <smw> newbye, /bin/bash obviously exists, did you modify your sshd?
[06:41] <newbye> not at all
[06:41] <somsip> newbye: what user are you logging in as? Or do you not get that far?
[06:41] <lotuspsychje> newbye: firewall or router changed?
[06:42] <newbye> root
[06:42] <AnDsO>  how can i set up snmp login when i  try to execute check_snmp_load.pl returns 'put login info'
[06:42] <pyrrhic> smw, think i can repair a corrupt ntfs partition with win7 in vbox?
[06:42] <somsip> newbye: usually not allowed by default in /etc/ssh/config.sshd or whatever it's called. Try logging in as a normal user
[06:42] <smw> pyrrhic, the corrupt ntfs partition is actually in vbox?
[06:43] <newbye> well but I log in always as root... so something changed
[06:43] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk | pyrrhic
[06:43] <somsip> newbye: erk. Oh well. Worth a try
[06:43] <smw> lotuspsychje, that only remakes the partition table, right?
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> smw: testdisk can do few cool tricks fix mbr and stuff too
[06:44] <smw> lotuspsychje, it has stuff to fsck ntfs?
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> smw: lemme check
[06:44] <AnDsO>  how can i set up snmp login when i  try to execute check_snmp_load.pl returns 'put login info'
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> AnDs0:stop repeating your question too often mate
[06:45] <pyrrhic> smw, no
[06:45] <newbye> smw: permit root login is set to yes
[06:45] <AnDsO> :)
[06:45] <pyrrhic> smw, i had windows 7 before ubuntu 12.04 ; got rid of it and had a media partition thats NTFS
[06:45] <pyrrhic> trying to repair it.
[06:46] <smw> pyrrhic, wait, so you overwrote your entire disk with linux and want to recover the partition?
[06:46] <newbye> smw: I see this line at the end that sounds strange : "Match User root ChrootDirectory /home/angola/cucm_bkup "
[06:47] <smw> newbye, heh, that is what I was thinking, you have a chroot
[06:47] <lotuspsychje> smw: its got all kinds of interesting repair stuff inside
[06:47] <smw> newbye, but you said you never edited sshd, so I dropped it
[06:48] <smw> lotuspsychje, you may want to council pyrrhic on this. I am not well versed with recovery
[06:48] <glassresistor> lotuspsychje: thats actually whats confusing me
[06:48] <smw> newbye, remove that line, should work then
[06:48] <pyrrhic> smw, no smw. I had a separate partition for media all on the same drive.
[06:48] <glassresistor> lotuspsychje: with sata how do i define the boot disk?
[06:48] <lotuspsychje> pyrrhic: you sure can get your data back from ntfs partition with photorec
[06:48] <newbye> sorry I wanted to say that months ago when I installed my linuxbox I change sshd config in order to get access by root but not changed anymore after that
[06:48] <smw> pyrrhic, is the partition still there?
[06:48] <lotuspsychje> bbl
[06:49] <pyrrhic> smw, yes it's just corrupt
[06:49] <newbye> smw: sorry I wanted to say that months ago when I installed my linuxbox I change sshd config in order to get access by root but not changed anymore after that
[06:49] <pyrrhic> smw, i was resizing it in gparted and the power went out
[06:49] <smw> pyrrhic, ok, this is beyond my knowledge
[06:49] <smw> pyrrhic, ouch, that is bad luck
[06:49] <pyrrhic> smw, yep. just a surge.\
[06:50] <newbye> smw: which line ? Match User root or ChrootDirectory /home/angola/cucm_bkup ?
[06:50] <smw> newbye, these are separate lines?
[06:50] <Dan39> oo im still in #ubuntu :D sweet
[06:50] <newbye> yes two lines
[06:50] <newbye> smw: yes two lines
[06:50] <smw> newbye, can you pastebin the entire file please?
[06:50] <somsip> pyrrhic: have you tried some any of these solutions: http://nitinpant.hubpages.com/hub/Repair-Partition-Table http://superuser.com/questions/275086/damaged-ntfs-partition-by-gparted
[06:51] <newbye> smw: yes of course, one moment
[06:51] <Dan39> ok so i add noatime to my /home partition in fstab and unmount then mount -a, but when i do mount it shows it with relatime...
[06:52] <lidar> hmm wasnt noatime deprecated
[06:52] <Dan39> im not sure
[06:52] <somsip> lidar: assumed in defaults now innit?
[06:52] <pyrrhic> somsip, neither. im installing windows on a VM now though
[06:52] <pyrrhic> lidar, sup bro?
[06:52] <Dan39> i dont see a need for it on my /home partition tho
[06:52] <somsip> pyrrhic: ok - worth a try
[06:53] <lidar> nada themeing!
[06:53] <glassresistor> lets say i have 3 sata harddrives, how do i differentate which is the one to boot from?
[06:53] <Dan39> isnt that in the BIOS...
[06:53] <newbye> smw: pasted, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1177271/plain/
[06:54] <k1l> glassresistor: the first in boot order will bott first
[06:54] <somsip> pyrrhic: Another linked from a successful solution in 6/2012 http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[06:54] <glassresistor> Dan39: probalby im just dumb its a Gibabyte mother board
[06:54] <smw> newbye, it wants me to login
[06:54] <smw> newbye, how about using fpaste.org? :-)
[06:54] <glassresistor> k1l: i mean boot order is like hd cdrom etc.
[06:54] <k1l> glassresistor: most mainboards boot from sata port1 to sata port X
[06:55] <glassresistor> i look at the sata page and its like master 1 slave 1 masther 2 slave 2
[06:55] <pyrrhic> somsip, test disk doesnt work for me
[06:55] <newbye> smw: sorry I am new
[06:55] <k1l> glassresistor: master /slave was ide
[06:55] <smw> newbye, no problem
[06:55] <somsip> pyrrhic: just bored and looking for solutions. I'll stop now...
[06:55] <glassresistor> k1l: im just saying what the screen says
[06:55] <smw> newbye, fpaste I don't think is used often here, it is just my favorite ;-)
[06:55] <pyrrhic> somsip, you're fine i appreciate the help
[06:55] <glassresistor> its definately sata hthough
[06:56] <lidar> pyrrhic: i think you should download new porn and forget about that ntfs drive!
[06:56] <pyrrhic> lidar, it's 90% music
[06:56] <pyrrhic> 10% movies
[06:56] <somsip> pyrrhic: remind me - you resized a large NTFS into a ext3/4 and NTFS, but didn't defrag first and a flying car took out your power halfway through
[06:56] <glassresistor> if i remove the home hdd it boots but fails for reasons due to lack of home and other folder
[06:56] <k1l> glassresistor: the bios looks out for a bootloader on the first sata port, then the 2nd sata port etc. get that sorted out
[06:57] <newbye> smw: fpaste told me "You might have reached the 512KiB limit!"
[06:57] <pyrrhic> somsip, resized a smaller ntfs into a large one and while it was going a car went airborne and hit a transformer down the road. yes.
[06:57] <lidar> glassresistor: boot single user and create a /home directgory
[06:58] <somsip> pyrrhic: what other partitions were on the drives - multiple NTFS or a mix of fs?
[06:58] <lidar> glassresistor: or from a live cd
[06:58] <smw> newbye, try again
[06:58] <smw> newbye, that happens sometimes XD
[06:58] <glassresistor> lidar: i mean the home dir is on a harddrive i removed to get it to boot
[06:58] <glassresistor> ultimately id like to add this back
[06:59] <newbye> smw: Paste #222843 by newbye
[06:59] <glassresistor> i've got the shel open updating apt-get ironically
[06:59] <glassresistor> all working just no 2nd hard drive
[06:59] <corsair> which key I've to press to show the GRUB on startup?
[06:59] <hateball> corsair: hold down shift
[07:00] <smw> newbye, url?
[07:00] <corsair> hateball, thanks
[07:00] <goddard> Is less settings a design philosphy for Ubuntu?
[07:00] <newbye> smw: many thanks, removed that line NOW it works !!!!
[07:00] <smw> newbye, sweet
[07:01] <newbye> guys you are GREAT
[07:01] <newbye> see u people ^^
[07:01] <pyrrhic> I have one hard drive
[07:01] <pyrrhic> I have a swap area
[07:01] <pyrrhic> the NTFS media portion and, ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[07:02] <glassresistor> seems like if works but only if i have only one operating system on the computer, oh shit ok its failing to load the hdd then finds the ssd
[07:02] <Dan39> hmm googling is not showing up anything useful about noatime deprecated
[07:02] <glassresistor> sweet
[07:04] <stuxnet120> hello
[07:04] <Andre_designer> hello
[07:04] <somsip> newbye: pyrrhic you tried <shudder> chkdsk /r /f ?
[07:07] <rajumoh> quick question, what does autoremove in apt-get do, i did a autoremove some time back and it removed configuration related to my xorg, browsers and a few other things ..
[07:08] <lidar> autoremove is like russian roullet in the world of .deb packages .. never know which ones may die!
[07:08] <gordonjcp> rajumoh: it removes packages marked as unused
[07:08] <rajumoh> lidar: where were u when they were updating the man pages that one line would have saved me :-D
[07:09] <rajumoh> gordonjcp: who does this unused marking ?
[07:10] <rethus> how can i execute pm-hibernate in 12.04
[07:10] <rethus> if i try to run, i get the message to become root to do it
[07:11] <somsip> rajumoh: If package ABC is installed and it depends on package DEF, when ABC is uninstalled, DEF is marked to be deleted by autoremove, AIUI
[07:12] <lidar> some linux commands are like sleeping with hookers sounds like a fun idea .. until you realize what actually happened !
[07:13] <rajumoh> somsip: that's what i figured and hence i did not see the list of packages that were shown before auto remove configuration, and then it burned.. have fixed most of it though, could anyone tell me which package in kde is responsible making gnome dependent softwares kde(ish)
[07:14] <murlidhar> how can i reset an app settings? i am not able to select a disk image in usb startup disk creator in 12.04
[07:15] <somsip> rajumoh: yeah - it maybe easy to confuse automremove if packages are installed from sources other than apt-get, but I've always been ok with autoremove. I tend to install stuff, and if I don't like it, I autoremove immediately to I don't have cruft hanging aroudn my syste, . Can't help on 2nd point about KDE
[07:16] <lidar> apt-get remove foo.gnome.app .. apt is like ^%$#& lets get rid of all of gnome ! and same with kde :))
[07:17] <lidar> not that i have ever done such a thing of course!
[07:17] <AnDsO>  how can i set up snmp login when i  try to execute check_snmp_load.pl returns 'put login info'
[07:19] <rajumoh> somsip, lidar gordonjcp : thanks all , will be a bit carefull with autoremove hence forth ..
[07:19] <rajumoh> down to some googling again :-D
[07:20] <somsip> AnDsO: have you followed the Setting Up... part of this http://askubuntu.com/questions/141564/what-is-snmp-used-for ?
[07:21] <Bahaman> Hi, is there any other good alternative besides Mono for C#?

[07:37] <somsip> ariel__: /usr/bin/transmission-gtk
[07:38] <lidar> ariel__: transmission is in your car not your computer !
[07:38] <LorSamPau_w> =)))
[07:38] <lidar> !which | ariel__
[07:38] <lidar> ooh there is one that needs added to ubottu !
[07:39] <juanito_> can someone tell me how to change the welcome sound on Kubuntu 12.04?
[07:40] <nbubuntu> hi , anyhere can tell me what's the command line to show percentage sign % when moving or copying files ? In command line ?
[07:40] <nbubuntu> like we sudo apt-get update will show % sign
[07:41] <nbubuntu> how to make mv or cp command to show % when copying/moving files
[07:41] <nbubuntu> thank you :_
[07:41] <somsip> nbubuntu: nothing in the man. Is this supported?
[07:41] <nbubuntu> somsip : nope , nothing at man for cp or even mv
[07:42] <somsip> nbubuntu: so why are you asking?
[07:42] <nbubuntu> somsip : man doesn't have = totally impossible ?
[07:48] <juanito_> Does someone know how to change the welcome sound on Kubuntu 12.04?
[07:49] <vhdirk> hi all
[07:50] <juanito_> Hi vhdirk
[07:50] <hateball> juanito_: Head over to #kubuntu :)
[07:50] <juanito_> ok thanks
[07:50] <juanito_> I didnt think about it
[07:51] <kriestof> Hi guys, I need some stuff to convert mp3 to flv and add jpg. Is there some app to do it?
[07:51] <susundbe1g> ffmpeg
[07:52] <susundbe1g> kriestof: google for "ffmpeg convert mp3 to flv" and see what it brings
[07:52] <susundbe1g> oh i googled the wrong direction,
[07:53] <LorSamPau_w> i'd use youtube
[07:59] <vhdirk> hi all
[07:59] <vhdirk> anyone here an apt poweruser?
[07:59] <baizon> vhdirk: just ask you question
[08:00] <luftikuss> vhdirk: Yours was no smart question.
[08:01] <vhdirk> I'm running precise, and need boost > 1.46 for some project I am working on
[08:01] <somsip> vhdirk: http://askubuntu.com/questions/61384/where-do-i-find-an-up-to-date-version-of-boost
[08:01] <somsip> vhdirk: PPA linked to in there
[08:03] <vhdirk> now, 1.48 is in the repository, but another dependency (pcl), which has a ppa, has a dependency on libboost-<somelib>-dev (without the version number)
[08:03] <vhdirk> is there some way I can tell apt that 1.48 provides the default dev package?
[08:04] <luftikuss> vhdirk: "apt pinning" can be done using Synaptic.
[08:06] <vhdirk> somsip: the comments on that article suggest that using that ppa results in a dependency hell, which is exactly what I want to avoid
[08:06] <goddard> Is less settings a design philosphy for Ubuntu?
[08:07] <goddard> when i say settings I mean gui configuration options
[08:07] <somsip> vhdirk: can you pin 1.46 or 1.47 to avoid the problems?
[08:08] <ssta> goddard: setting are confusing...you don't need em.  JUst be thankful for the beatiful defaults that you already have! </cynical>
[08:09] <k1l> goddard: im sure more settings follow when the base is set right
[08:09] <xNbtx> Bonjour
[08:09] <vhdirk> It seems I need to resort to compiling boost myself: liboost-random1.48-dev (for example) does not provide libboost-random-dev, so pinning won't help me I guess
[08:10] <nbubuntu> somsip : do you know any program that preserve date on modified file ?
[08:11] <somsip> nbubuntu: in what context?
[08:12] <nbubuntu> somsip : preserve file time line modified
[08:12] <somsip> nbubuntu: are you meaning when you cp or mv or something else?
[08:13] <jarco> if I want to run a command when ubuntu start do I add it before or after the exit 0 in /etc/rc.local ?
[08:14] <somsip> jarco: before. Exit runs last and does what it says
[08:14] <jrib> jarco: before (though it's probably better to not use /etc/rc.local depending on what excatly you are doing)
[08:14] <jarco> I figured before :)
[08:14] <nbubuntu> somsip : yep , when I mv file using mv commnd line , the time on modified is preserve but not on cut and paste using gui.But in command line I cant see the % complete
[08:14] <jarco> jrib, I just want to start concky when my system starts
[08:15] <jrib> jarco: well /etc/rc.local will run it as root...
[08:15] <jarco> conky*
[08:15] <jrib> !startup | jarco
[08:15] <jarco> ohw
[08:15] <nbubuntu> somsip : any program which can do the same as this  , window does have this program? http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/how-do-i-use-richcopy-for-high-powered-file-copy-and-transfers/1210
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu: sounds like a ripoff of rsync
[08:16] <jrib> nbubuntu: what feature do you want exactly?
[08:16] <jarco> jrib, that explanation seems to be for gnome 3. I am running unity
[08:16] <somsip> nbubuntu: I only use mv for things like that so i can't help
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> nbubuntu: there is grsync as a GUI for it
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> jarco: Unity is a shell for Gnome3
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> jarco: Unity doesn't replace Gnome, it is a shell for it
[08:17] <jrib> jarco: you can run gnome-session-manager in a shell if you want
[08:17] <jrib> jarco: sorry, I meant: gnome-session-properties
[08:17] <jarco> will try
[08:18] <jarco> jrib,  seems to have worked thanks
[08:19] <jarco> ActionParsnip, Thanks. I knew that. I was just looking for the option. But I found it now thanks to jrib. Thanks for the info
[08:19] <rax-> Is this some kinda bug in apt? I run the following commands in a script but before apt-get dist-upgrade finishes the grep line kicks in and reboots the server (when the kernel is being updated)... Annoyingly it only seems to happen sometimes..
[08:19] <rax-> sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade >> /home/autopatch/patch_notes && echo "Patching complete - Checking for Kernel update.." >> /home/autopatch/patch_notes
[08:19] <rax-> # cat /home/autopatch/patch_notes |mail -s "Patch details for `date`"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:19] <rax-> if grep -i -q linux-image /home/autopatch/patch_notes
[08:19] <rax-> then
[08:19] <FloodBot1> rax-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> rax-: you do know that updates are already logged..?
[08:20] <rax-> hmph
[08:20] <rax-> where?
[08:20] <rax-> I like logging them myself though
[08:21] <rax-> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2046544 for more info
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> rax-: /var/log/dpkg.log
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> rax-: why reinvent the wheel?
[08:21] <rax-> the logging issue doesn't matter really, I just need it to stop moving onto the next line before apt-get has completed
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> rax-: have you asked in #bash  too?
[08:23] <jrib> rax-: I would start by reading /home/autopatch/patch-notes, but yes please use the existing packages for this if you really want it to work.  If you want to just play, it's fine I guess
[08:23] <rax-> yea they tell me to ask in ubuntu support
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> rax-: nice
[08:24] <rax-> jrib: Existing package? You mean the automatically apply security updates one?
[08:24] <jrib> rax-: yes
[08:24] <rax-> Hmm, I don't know if it's configurable in the way I want
[08:25] <Bahaman> Hi, i've searched a bit and couldnt find anything. Does anyone know if i can run C# from the terminal
[08:25] <Bahaman> a simpel hello world
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> rax-: i just ran the 'Patching complete - Checking for Kernel update.'   looks ok to me
[08:25] <somsip> Bahaman: after you compile it, yes
[08:25] <Bahaman> I tried with csc /t:exe hello.cs but couldnt make it work
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> rax-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1177371
[08:25] <rax-> ActionParsnip: Yea, I run the whole script (available @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2046544) and it worked on one system and not on another
[08:25] <Bahaman> somsip: im fairly new, may I ask how i would compile it? :o
[08:26] <somsip> Bahaman: gcc? I have no idea really.
[08:26] <rax-> see the bottom post
[08:26] <Bahaman> what would gcc be?
[08:26] <somsip> !info gcc
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> rax-: the OS makes a file if it needs rebooting, why not just check for the file existing?
[08:27] <rax-> oh
[08:27] <somsip> Bahaman: maybe something else for c++. I'm not the right person to ask
[08:27] <gordonjcp> Bahaman: What exactly are you trying to do?
[08:27] <rax-> I'm pretty new at this, so if you could point me in the right direction I'll check that out
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> rax-: /var/run/reboot-required
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> rax-: why not just reboot after every update, then it covers all bases....
[08:28] <rax-> I was going to try another way of doing it but I don't know if it would make a difference: basically run dist-upgrade with -s then grep for kernel update, if it's there then run dist-upgrade && reboot
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> rax-: good old KISS mentality
[08:28] <Bahaman> gordonjcp: I simply made a C#  hello world in gedit and saved it. now im trying to 'run' it in the terminal
[08:28] <Bahaman> so I can see the output
[08:28] <gordonjcp> Bahaman: ah, I don't know much about c#
[08:28] <somsip> Bahaman: oh C#? Sorry - I was being vague and thinking of C++. Ooops
[08:29] <Bahaman> Oh well
[08:29] <gordonjcp> Bahaman: I think you need to look at mono for that
[08:29] <helpme22> hello
[08:29] <helpme22> HELP ME !!
[08:29] <Bahaman> I was just thinking it would be possible to output simple stuff like that but then again, it's C#.....
[08:29] <somsip> helpme22: just ask your question
[08:29]  * Wizard throws rope at helpme22.
[08:30] <helpme22> i have natty & i don't want to relpace it
[08:30] <helpme22> it works beautifully
[08:30] <helpme22> but metacity leaks memory and it grows from 13MB to over 190MB
[08:30] <helpme22> someimtes
[08:30] <rax-> ActionParsnip: I'll check out using that file to initiate a reboot but I'm still concerned it'll check before dist-upgrade has completed, so it'll either check before the file is created and miss the reboot or the file is created early and it'll reboot anyway
[08:30] <ThinkT510> helpme22: you'll need to replace it come october
[08:30] <helpme22> mine is 1:2.30.3
[08:30] <helpme22> and there is 1:2.35
[08:31] <helpme22> this is the latest version i think with the bug fix
[08:31] <helpme22> 1:2.34.1-1ubuntu4~natty1
[08:31] <helpme22> how to install it ?
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> rax-: in the script, as it isn't suffixed with an ampersand, the script will be held up til the apt-get command completes
[08:31] <helpme22> this is the one comes with natty. - 1:2.30.3-0ubuntu8
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: try hitting ENTER less
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: natty is also EOL in October, you may want to upgrade soon
[08:32] <helpme22> actionparsnip thank you for your contribution. if you know tell me
[08:32] <gordonjcp> helpme22: upgrade to 12.04 LTS
[08:32] <helpme22> again. thank you! keep your opinion for your self because i'm not going to unity
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: is there a PPA for the newer version
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: you don't have to use Unity
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: a recommendation is not an opinion, lose the attitude
[08:32] <helpme22> i did alot of work on natty and i don't to upgrade. natty is 2011
[08:33] <helpme22> i still use windows XP which was released in 2001
[08:33] <gordonjcp> Bahaman: are you getting anywhere with mono?
[08:33] <rax-> ActionParsnip: You would think so, but it's not working that way. :\
[08:33] <helpme22> so 2 yrs old and you want me to upgrade
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: how is the support of XP anything here?
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases clearly states 'October 2012'
[08:34] <helpme22> action you are asking me to upgrade each year for eacdh release. that's what you are telling me
[08:34] <helpme22> i want to use natty for at least 6+ yrs
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: its the support of Ubuntu, Natty is dead soon
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: it will run, you will just getzero support and zero updates
[08:34] <helpme22> i don't care!! it works and it works too well for me to upgrade
[08:34] <helpme22> how to update the metacity and stop wasting my time
[08:34] <ikonia> helpme22: you shouldn't upgrade individual components
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> (09:32:31) ActionParsnip: helpme22: is there a PPA for the newer versio
[08:35] <ThinkT510> helpme22: drop the attitude
[08:35] <helpme22> i don't know if there is a PPA for it thats' why i'm asking
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: did you even read my recommendation (I pasted it for you in case0
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: think you should maybe look then?
[08:35] <ikonia> helpme22: keeping the whole OS in sync (especially around X11) is the correct way to manage any upgrade
[08:35] <helpme22> yeah my fault action
[08:35] <helpme22> thank you
[08:35]  * ActionParsnip shrugs
[08:35] <helpme22> i think talking to a search engine will give me a better result
[08:36] <gordonjcp> helpme22: improving your attitude would give you a better result too
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> !ppa
[08:36] <gordonjcp> helpme22: "stop wasting my time" isn't going to encourage people to help you
[08:36] <ikonia> helpme22: just to be clear, I'm strongly advising you not to upgrade individual componets of the OS beyond the version shipped with th eOS
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: the link there is where you should search
[08:36] <helpme22> naa.. people telling me what to do and what's right of me is the wrong attitude
[08:37] <ikonia> helpme22: well, you came in here asking for help - so people will tell you what to do as part of the advice, if you can't handle that, you should not ask for help
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: when it is EOL, nobody will help you with anything and you will get no security updates and such. Your call
[08:37] <helpme22> like a guy paying mortgage for 30 yrs and he couldnt handle the increase interest rates and he lost the house in a week to the bank
[08:37] <ikonia> you are free to ignore the advice and carry on
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> helpme22: thats not similar in any way
[08:37] <helpme22> better for him to life a dignifying life paying rent and saving the rest of his money for later
[08:37] <ikonia> helpme22: stop
[08:37] <ThinkT510> helpme22: there is a clear support timeline, if you wish to ignore that then you are on your own
[08:37] <ikonia> helpme22: do you need any more help from this channel yes/no ?
[08:37] <helpme22> so what's good for me people !
[08:38] <gordonjcp> helpme22: upgrade to the latest LTS
[08:38] <ikonia> helpme22: you've been told what is good options for you and you got upset
[08:38] <ikonia> he	do you need any other help/advice
[08:38] <helpme22> WRONG!
[08:38] <gordonjcp> oh well
[08:38] <MonkeyDust> helpme22  does not want help, s/he just wants attention
[08:38] <ikonia> and it's done / over, lets move on
[08:39] <gordonjcp> anyone seen Airplane? "Chump don't want the help, chump don't get the help"
[08:41] <BebopSteve> Has anyone here replaced the boring lock screen in 12.04 with lightdm?  From what I understand it was removed because of bugs with nvidia cards and the LTS tag, but I have a "nothing special" intel onboard and would like the functionality.  I'm trying to find how to do it
[08:42] <kriestof> Guys I need some gui for avconv or ffmpeg. I'm not able to handle with ccommand line. :)
[08:43] <BebopSteve> I was browsing gnomelook to emulate the sexiness with something similar but I have had no luck
[08:43] <Bahaman> gordonjcp: Yes got mono going.
[08:43] <Bahaman> The cmd was simply a bit different, that's all.
[08:44] <somsip> kriestof: a few links recent on omgubuntu eg: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/format-junkie-convert-your-media-files-to-all-the-popular-formats.html
[08:44] <gordonjcp> Bahaman: cool, is it working?[3~
[08:44] <vishal> my ubuntu software center not installing any software
[08:44] <gordonjcp> Bahaman: I've not played with C# at all but I know it does work ;-)
[08:45] <ThinkT510> Bahaman: any reason you are using C# to write a hello world? there are better cross-platform languages to work with
[08:45] <gordonjcp> ThinkT510: it may not be a "hello world" program
[08:45] <Bahaman> gordonjcp: Yes it's working.
[08:45] <ThinkT510> gordonjcp: thats what he said earlier
[08:45] <vishal> why my ubuntu software center not working correctly
[08:46] <Bahaman> ThinkT510: I simply exploring C#, so to say :-)
[08:46] <Bahaman> Im*
[08:47] <BebopSteve> vishal: try "sudo apt-get install package-name-here"  in your terminal to see if it's an issue with your system or just the software manager
[08:47] <vishal> BebopSteve: i am trying
[08:48] <kriestof> somsip: Thats program is fine, but I need to synhronize mp3 and image in flv.
[08:48] <vishal> BebopSteve: its working fine
[08:48] <Wizard> C#?
[08:49] <Wizard> JAVA FTW!
[08:49] <Wizard> :>
[08:49] <FloodBot1> Wizard: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:49] <somsip> kriestof: I guess you need some form of movie maker, then something else to convert the output to flv
[08:49] <FlowRiser> kriestof: try ffmpeg
[08:50] <vishal> BebopSteve: its working fine it installs software but not from Ubuntu Software Center
[08:50] <kriestof> FlowRiser: Yeah, but I've tried for half and hour to merge image and mp3 and I failed.
[08:50] <kriestof> It would be easier to use some gui.
[08:50] <FlowRiser> kriestof: how many images you ahve ?
[08:50] <kriestof> only one
[08:51] <ThinkT510> kriestof: making a vid? try openshot
[08:51] <FlowRiser> kriestof: how are you encoding the video ?
[08:52] <kriestof> I don't know. :P I've just writen something like ffmpeg -i source -i image output
[08:52] <FlowRiser> kriestof: does it give you an error
[08:52] <kriestof> yep
[08:52] <FlowRiser> kriestof: paste it on pastebin please
[08:53] <BebopSteve> vishal:  Try reinstalling it, sudo apt-get remove software-center, sudo apt-get install software-center
[08:53] <kriestof> It's short, I need a while and it was avconv, but I suppose it's just a newer version. I think, ffmpeg gave me similiar one.
[08:53] <vishal> BebopSteve: ok i am trying
[08:53] <vega-_> ubuntu 12.04 LTS, nvidia hardware, opensource driver, laptop with external monitor connected: use display settings to enable external monitor -> both go blank, now what?
[08:53] <FlowRiser> BebopSteve: "sudo apt-get reinstall package-name" doesn't work ? :D
[08:54] <vega-_> only option is power button after that
[08:54] <chmac> I want to create a second virtual monitor, same desktop, which I can access by VNC. How do I set that up? :-)
[08:54] <szal> vega-_: tried the proprietary driver?
[08:54] <BebopSteve> flowriser: don't mind me I'm mostly new, just have a troubleshooting mindset lol
[08:54] <kriestof> FlowRiser: incomplete frametime=846.68 bitrate= 196.9kbits/s     Error while decoding stream #0:0
[08:54] <vishal> BebopSteve: Its installing that software center
[08:55] <vega-_> szal: yes, it works. but so did this one, not anymore though (after i used it without the external for some time)
[08:55] <FlowRiser> kriestof: wait a second, i'm gonna give you what worked for me using ffmpeg
[08:55] <vishal> BebopSteve: plz help me out i am newbie at ubuntu and i don't want to swith to windows 7 again just because of software center
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> vega-_: are there any shortcut buttons to switch the outputs?
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> vishal: install synaptic then......
[08:56] <BebopSteve> vishal: You can also install the lubuntu package manager if reinstalling didn't work, it isn't as fancy but gets the job done
[08:56] <vega-_> ActionParsnip: on the actual laptop? yes i suppose there are
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> vega-_: tried that?
[08:56] <chmac> Seems like maybe xdmx is one approach, but it may require a little tweaking to set up...
[08:56] <vega-_> ActionParsnip: nope, didn't think of it... will now
[08:57] <rollitup> i have been using 12.04 since last 4 months and sinc the past two weeks i keep getting alot of Ubuntu 12.04 has ocurred an erro and system error etc
[08:57] <rollitup> is there a fix for this
[08:57] <vega-_> ActionParsnip: ok now the external woke up, but in clone mode and horrible resolution
[08:57] <somsip> rollitup: details of the errors?
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> vega-_: then tweat the settings
[08:57] <somsip> !pastebin | rollitup
[08:57] <BebopSteve> vishal: Tell it to show more details while installing something (the ubuntu software center) it might give clues as to what is broken
[08:58] <BebopSteve> Has anyone here replaced the boring lock screen in 12.04 with lightdm?  From what I understand it was removed because of bugs with nvidia cards and the LTS tag, but I have a "nothing special" intel onboard and would like the functionality.  I'm trying to find how to do it
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> vega-_: tweak
[08:58] <rollitup> where could i find the errors, the error messages are like this system error ocurred and then it gives me a choice to report but when i click on it it gives me a message that says Ubuntu 12.04 has ocurred an error
[08:58] <vega-_> ActionParsnip: ... and it worked, thanks!
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> vega-_: sweet
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> BebopSteve: i don't really pay attention to the look of such trivial things as lock screens, I'm too concerned with unlocking my OS and getting on with stuff
[08:59] <rollitup> also when i do sudo apt-get upgrade some repositories fail to update let me share the output
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: not all PPAs support Precise :)
[08:59] <FlowRiser> kriestof: ok, so try this first: ffmpeg -r 20 -i <input> <output>
[09:00] <BebopSteve> actionparsnip: I can empathize, but I'm shallow and like things to be pretty :p
[09:00] <FlowRiser> kriestof: the main thing is that -r 20
[09:00] <FlowRiser> kriestof: when i used ffmpeg i had some decoding problems

[09:01] <BebopSteve> I will google onward
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: if you can pastebin the full output of:  sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a     we can advise
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: that paste doesn't tell us much
[09:02] <rollitup> sure
[09:02] <FlowRiser> kriestof: search on how to get the latest ffmpeg
[09:02] <FlowRiser> kriestof: that should probably solve your problems
[09:02] <kriestof> ok, thanks

[09:10] <Perry_> hi guys! i need some help
[09:10] <MonkeyDust> Perry_  start with a question
[09:11] <Perry_> Init.d script works when run manually, but not on reboot with ubuntu 12.04 server
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: can you see how I checked with the links from your pastebin?
[09:11] <Perry_> same scripts..same configuration…on ubuntu 9 server works
[09:11] <MonkeyDust> Perry_  there's also a channel #ubuntu-server
[09:11] <Perry_> ok..thank u
[09:11] <rollitup> yes ActionParsnip
[09:12] <rollitup> i am removing it
[09:12] <mshadle> can someone help? i'm getting this "configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables." when trying to compile PHP. i have a compiler and probably all the other possible libraries ever, i've installed everything that's on another machine and it still is being stubborn. i compiled another package just fine. but this one isn't working
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: you can now check yourown in future :)
[09:13] <gluesimon> has anyone already tried http://pecl.php.net/package/trader ?
[09:13] <FlowRiser> mshadle, what compiler are you using ?
[09:13] <[twisti]> hi, when logging in, i get this:
[09:13] <[twisti]> *** /dev/md2 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***
[09:13] <[twisti]> *** /dev/md1 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***
[09:14] <[twisti]> but i rebooted a few times already
[09:14] <[twisti]> will those now be checked for error every reboot ? why ?
[09:14] <andycc> [twisti]: that doesn't seem to affect anything though, does it?
[09:14] <rollitup> ActionParsnip: thanks i have removed those unwanted ppa and i have got the same error which i described first the Ubuntu Internal error, and the cause is showing as
[09:14] <cesdost> hi
[09:15] <[twisti]> andycc: i dont know. im pretty sure i shouldnt just ignore something like that
[09:15] <cesdost>  Compiz and Dash crash after launch directx library! What shoul i do?
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: did you run:  sudo apt-get update
[09:16] <andycc> [twisti]: you could try to check them manually, if you _really_ want to do something about it.
[09:16] <[twisti]> how would i do that ?
[09:16] <cesdost> Can Anybody help me?
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> cesdost: how are you launching the library?
[09:17] <rollitup> executable path /usr/lib/1386-linux-gnu/colord/colord  Package: colord 0.1.16-2 Problem type: crash Title: colord crashed with SIGSEGV in dbus_connection_dispatch()
[09:17] <cesdost> ActionParsnip: I use wine))
[09:17] <cesdost> winetricks directx
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> cesdost: Are you trying to install DirectX in wine?
[09:18] <andycc> [twisti]: to be fair, if you don't know how to run a check, you should leave the disk maintenance to Ubuntu and just ignore those messages.
[09:18] <brontosaurusrex> whats the command to set users home dir?
[09:18] <ikonia> usermod -d $directory $user
[09:19] <cesdost> ActionParsnip: yes
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> cesdost: Wine is an abstraction FOR DirectX, you already have it......
[09:19] <[twisti]> andycc: the fact that reboots dont make it go away seems to indicate that the check isnt run
[09:19] <geekgirl> hello can  i ask for some help in here about installing wireless
[09:19] <andycc> [twisti]: you'll typically need to use a live CD and maybe set up the (what I assume are) RAID arrays, so it's not a trivial thing.
[09:19] <[twisti]> thats not possible
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: as long as its under ubuntu, yes
[09:19] <[twisti]> its a server
[09:19] <MonkeyDust> cesdost  did you read this? http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectX-ToDo
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> brontosaurusrex: man usermod    shows all the other ways you can manage existing users too ;)
[09:20] <andycc> [twisti]: can you unmount those 2 devices?
[09:20] <geekgirl> cool when i have this wireless wrapper ndisgtk and i can't seem to get it to work
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: what wifi chip are you using?
[09:21] <geekgirl> i am on a windows 7 platform i installed unbuntu on top of it
[09:21] <[twisti]> andycc: again, i have no idea how. i dont even know what that is
[09:21] <brontosaurusrex> ikonia, its giving me "user xy is currently logged in"
[09:21] <MonkeyDust> geekgirl  wubi?
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: still doesn't tell us the wifi chip
[09:21] <geekgirl> wubi i haven't tried yet
[09:21] <cesdost> MonkeyDust: no, thanks)
[09:21] <geekgirl> i know but i don;t know and i;d have to reboot to tell you
[09:21] <andycc> geekgirl: use Windows' Device Manager.
[09:21] <rollitup> ActionParsnip: hope you read my earlier message with the details of the internal error
[09:21] <ikonia> brontosaurusrex: right, so he's logged in you can't change it
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: then why are you reaching for ndisgtk, there may be a native driver!
[09:22] <geekgirl> can;t i just load the *.inf from unbuntu
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: can you pastebin the output of:  sudo apt-get update     please
[09:22] <geekgirl> okay if someone knows a simple option or app i can grab from the unbuntu software center i can try that instead
[09:22] <andycc> geekgirl: using ndiswrapper isn't really recommended if there's a native driver already, which is why we're asking what chip you have.
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: why would you want or need to if there is a Linux driver for it for Linux. Why would you need to bother
[09:22] <geekgirl> ahhh i c
[09:22] <brontosaurusrex> its not logged in ...
[09:23] <geekgirl> cos when i looked up the info today thats what was recommended
[09:23] <brontosaurusrex> who < should show the guy right?
[09:23] <andycc> [twisti]: look into mount, umount and fsck.
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: if you run:  sudo lshw -C network      you should see what wifi chip it is
[09:23] <geekgirl> okay can i grab someone to go through a step by step process please
[09:23] <geekgirl> ahh cool h5
[09:24] <andycc> geekgirl: you can do that from Windows too.
[09:24] <geekgirl> i did that earlierAP it said unclaimed
[09:24] <Ptrakk> lspci
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: yes, but what is the product line
[09:24] <geekgirl> i'll do it again to find out the chip though
[09:24] <Ptrakk> lsusb
[09:24] <geekgirl> i get it i'll brb
[09:24] <rollitup> ok but ActionParsnip the error message that I typed earlier i copied it from the Sorry Ubuntu 12.04 has occured an internal error then when i view error i get a big list the sudo apt-get update seems to be updating sucessfully now
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: exactly the same?
[09:25] <rollitup> should i take a screen-shot and upload it somewhere so you can see ?
[09:25] <rollitup> coz this error is not in the terminal
[09:25] <rollitup> it keeps poppingup now and then
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: all I need is the output of:  sudo apt-get update
[09:25] <rollitup> ok one sec  i give it to you again
[09:25] <geekgirl> AP where is the info
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: if updates are running then let them finish
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: press CTRL+ALT+T and run:  sudo lshw -C network
[09:26] <geekgirl> I did if you mean product:Realtek Semiconductor
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: ok and run:  lspci    one line will identify the device
[09:27]  * ActionParsnip prays its not a 8122
[09:27] <Ptrakk> try this line:   lspci | grep -i realtek
[09:28] <geekgirl> what part of that do you want AP?
[09:28] <rollitup> here's the output ActionParsnip http://pastie.org/4628697
[09:28] <rollitup> there is only one error regarding the GPG key for bitdefender anti-virus
[09:30] <geekgirl> it's not really telling me anything Ptrakk its a bit of info abot the controller
[09:30] <andycc> geekgirl: well, yeah, that bit of info is what we need.
[09:31] <geekgirl> ok so RTL8111/8168B
[09:31] <geekgirl> can i just sudo get-apt ndisgtk
[09:32] <andycc> geekgirl: that's an wired card, I thought you said you needed to set up a wireless adaptor?
[09:32] <geekgirl> i am having to be connected via wire cos if i didnt i could be here
[09:33] <geekgirl> maybe it's just easier if i go into the software center and choose another option:)
[09:33] <andycc> geekgirl: we'll need the info for the wireless card, that's what you need help with
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: try:   sudo modprobe r816
[09:33] <geekgirl> not found AP
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: wait, that's an ethernet controller, not wireless
[09:34] <geekgirl> i know i am telling you guys i have to connect via the ethernet to get here in the first place :)
[09:34] <geekgirl> orry and gurls
[09:34] <blackthund3r> Hi, is #ubuntu-arm where I go to ask about porting ubuntu to a certain ARM-based device?
[09:34] <andycc> geekgirl: run lspci -nn again, give us the info for the Network Controller, not the Ethernet Controller.
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com A373FB480EC4FE05
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: yes but the wifi is having the issue...
[09:35] <FlowRiser> blackthund3r, should be, yes
[09:35] <blackthund3r> FlowRiser: Thanks! Also joined the Tegra channels. Hope there's people around!
[09:35] <crimsonmane> geekgirl: type lspci -n
[09:35] <crimsonmane> oh they got you on it
[09:36] <geekgirl> how about i do this. i have an icon installed called window wireless drivers
[09:36] <ThinkT510> geekgirl: to help you with wifi, they need to know exactly what wifi you have
[09:36] <andycc> crimsonmane: -nn, -n just gives a cryptic list of numbers
[09:36] <MonkeyDust> blackthund3r  some 140 people in the arm channel
[09:36] <crimsonmane> it's the four digit set you need
[09:36] <rollitup> i did that ActionParsnip and it imported one key so do u think i will not get the Ubuntu 12.04 Internal error now ?
[09:36] <crimsonmane> like this: Our NIC has the ID 1260:3873.
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: should be smoother
[09:36] <blackthund3r> MonkeyDust: and everyone seems idle :P Oh well, I'll sit tight for a bit!
[09:36] <andycc> crimsonmane: yeah, but you need to know which ID the NIC is, and you can't really do that from the output of lspci -n
[09:37] <geekgirl> why can't i just install a driver through there
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: can you run:  lspci -n; lsb_release -a; uname -a     and go to http://pastie.org  and put all the text there
[09:37] <rollitup> ok thanks ActionParsnip for your prompt help
[09:37] <rollitup> hope you have a nice day there
[09:37] <geekgirl> ok AP
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: we don't know the wifi chip, so it may not be needed
[09:37] <crimsonmane> geekgirl: you're looking for a bit that looks like this: 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [168c:002b] (rev 01)
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> !rootirc > Ptrakk
[09:38] <crimsonmane> guys can't she do "lspci -nn | grep wireless" ??
[09:38] <andycc> geekgirl: using ndiswrapper is like using gaffer tape when you can use bolts, unreliable and pointless.
[09:38] <crimsonmane> "lspci -nn | grep Wireless" actually
[09:39] <Ptrakk> how do i create a user on a rooted linux via command line? is it passwd?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> crimsonmane: could use:  grep -i WiReLeSS if you wanted ;)
[09:39] <crimsonmane> Ptrakk: "man useradd"
[09:39] <Ptrakk> thanks
[09:39] <crimsonmane> ActionParsnip: on mine, lowercase W turned up diddly
[09:39] <andycc> crimsonmane: my wireless card shows up as Network controller, not Wireless.
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> crimsonmane: -i  makes grep case (i)nsensitive
[09:39] <crimsonmane> ah
[09:39] <crimsonmane> then have her do that. it's way faster and easier
[09:40] <geekgirl> hehehe soz pastie won;t work
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: once you hit paste, copy the new address in the address bar and paste the URL here
[09:41] <geekgirl> AP are you on skype?
[09:42]  * crimsonmane notes that the button is SUBMIT, not paste
[09:42] <d1rkp1tt> Hi all, anyone here used Fabric for deployments that can give advise?
[09:42] <geekgirl> okay i ran the command line you suggested now how do i paste that info into pastie
[09:42] <d1rkp1tt> advice..
[09:43] <andycc> geekgirl: select it, right click, copy, switch to your browser, paste.
[09:43] <geekgirl> hooray - http://pastie.org/4629052
[09:44] <geekgirl> phew got it. thanks for being patient, first day on ubuntu ever today!
[09:45] <andycc> ...I think that _should_ have been lspci -nn.
[09:45] <ajnr> Hi , can any one help me out how to enable or work the finger print reader of HP Probook 4430s in ubuntu 1205, its a Device ID  138a:003c Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS471 Fingerprint Reader
[09:45] <geekgirl> i'll try again then :)
[09:46] <rollitup> incase i wish to have a dual boot system between Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows xP would it be recommended to first install windows xp like i had read in the past or is it that I can now install windows xp after i have installed ubuntu ?
[09:46] <andycc> ajnr: looks like it doesn't work. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfprint/+bug/790183
[09:46] <crimsonmane> rollitup: do it after, so that both OS are in the boot options
[09:47] <rollitup> so windows xp first ? crimsonmane
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> rollitup: install xp first, the instaler is lazy. leave unpartitioned space
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> ajnr: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/182607-finger-print-reader.html
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> ajnr: http://askubuntu.com/questions/121693/finger-reader-for-hp-probook6560b-not-recogized
[09:47] <rollitup> ok i hate to have xp but can't help coz i still don't find LMMS powerful and lacks vst support
[09:47] <geekgirl> hows this http://pastie.org/4629147
[09:47] <crimsonmane> rollitup: no
[09:47] <crimsonmane> rollitup: xp second
[09:48] <rollitup> so crimsonmane i have to first backup the grub right ?
[09:48] <crimsonmane> you tell it how big the partition should be. but from experience, linux won't add windows to your boot options.
[09:48] <crimsonmane> rollitup: no comment.
[09:48] <crimsonmane> ive never done that
[09:48] <rollitup> lol
[09:49] <BebopSteve> weird, is it normal for ubuntuforums.org to have no theme?  it's all text in firefox
[09:49] <geekgirl> was that anymore informative?
[09:49] <andycc> geekgirl: http://askubuntu.com/questions/139632/wireless-card-realtek-rtl8723ae-bt-is-not-recognized
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: http://askubuntu.com/questions/139632/wireless-card-realtek-rtl8723ae-bt-is-not-recognized
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> ha
[09:49] <geekgirl> are you telling me to go there andycc? >O
[09:49] <ThinkT510> great minds think alike
[09:50] <andycc> geekgirl: yes. There's a solution.
[09:50] <ajnr> ActionParsnip, ya tried it , but not worked !
[09:50] <geekgirl> also i really installed ubuntu for arduino do you happen to know where i can d/l the arduino editor from :)
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/205818
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: don't you think you should get something a bit more fundamental setup, like your wireless connectivity....
[09:52] <geekgirl> yes i am doing that AP, i am reading ab0ut the fix now
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> !info arduino
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> geekgirl: while you read, run:  sudo apt-get install arduino
[09:52] <geekgirl> cool!
[09:53] <d1rkp1tt> can anyone advise on how to find a location in a file and write to it from console?
[09:53] <geekgirl> okay arduino on its way
[09:53] <d1rkp1tt> .. terminal
[09:53] <geekgirl> do i need the full package AP just to run the editor?
[09:53] <ThinkT510> !tab | geekgirl
[09:54] <geekgirl> it's all good i actually got here via a command line , believe it or not :)
[09:54] <andycc> d1rkp1tt: sorry, I don't follow. What do you mean by "location in a file"?
[09:55] <geekgirl> is it rude to abbreviate ThinkT510 wasn't 20 years ago :)
[09:55] <d1rkp1tt> I want to seek out a location in a file.. in this case pg_hba.conf and add an entry.. I am using fabric, but want to know the appropriate command in ubuntu/linux
[09:55] <geekgirl> okay arduino is happening going to get the fix sorted too
[09:55] <ThinkT510> geekgirl: not rude, but not using the full nick doesn't highlight the person, so they could miss your message
[09:55] <d1rkp1tt> echo to write, but that will go to end of file rather than a position, right?
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> d1rkp1tt: could use the locate command after running:  sudo updatedb'
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> d1rkp1tt: minus the apostrophe
[09:56] <d1rkp1tt> updatedb?
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> d1rkp1tt: yes
[09:56] <andycc> d1rkp1tt: so you're trying to seek to a position in a file and write something there?
[09:57] <d1rkp1tt> andycc: yes
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> d1rkp1tt: sudo updatedb; locate pg_hba.conf
[09:57] <d1rkp1tt> I am writing deployment in fabric
[09:57] <geekgirl> fair enuff ThinkT510
[09:57] <andycc> d1rkp1tt: I know you can do that from Python, but I don't think there's a UNIX command for it.
[09:57] <d1rkp1tt> find with grep...
[09:58] <d1rkp1tt> then echo.. but cant target the line I found
[09:58] <andycc> d1rkp1tt: exactly.
[09:58] <d1rkp1tt> hmmm
[09:58] <d1rkp1tt> otherwise file io with python eh
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> d1rkp1tt: echo "text to add" | tee -a `sudo updatedb; locate pg_hba.conf`
[09:58] <nbubuntu> actually grsync is a (copy file or move file) program ?
[09:58] <d1rkp1tt> ActionParsnip: your losing me with the updatedb part, not sure what that means
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> d1rkp1tt  better ask in #bash, i'm sure people can help you better, there
[09:59] <andycc> ActionParsnip: he's not trying to find a file.
[09:59] <d1rkp1tt> MonkeyDust: THanks
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> d1rkp1tt: it updates a database of every file in the filesystem
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> andycc: ahh, i see
[09:59] <d1rkp1tt> Very helpful anyway, thanks
