[15:12] <pratz> MonkeyDust: also, will it diable the speaker output ?
[15:12] <pratz> MonkeyDust: i just want to disable the beep sound
[15:12] <MonkeyDust> pratz  type alsamixer|pastebinit and paste the url here
[15:12] <waggysax> ruli: how do I formally install it?
[15:12] <ruli> waggysax: by getting the package from the repository
[15:12] <waggysax> I see
[15:13] <ruli> waggysax: if there isn't one, then you have to do things manually
[15:13] <christian__> hello my dear friends, i have troubles using an internet usb stick on ubuntu, it would be very nice if someone could help me :( otherwise i have to pay for another internet provider

[15:13] <blackber2y> q
[15:14] <hypershock> has anyone ran into the problem where open javajdk 6 eats massive cpu resources? I could really use a fix. :)
[15:14] <christian__> i cannot connect to the internet with the HUAWEI Mobile Connect E160 usb stick, it shows up on the right corner as mobile device
[15:15] <christian__> i think its shown up correctly as gsm modem, when i do it says : Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem / E270 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem
[15:15] <christian__> when i do lsusb
[15:15] <prc384> I have read that deleting the .lock files associated to passwd etc have helped others with my problem but I have no .lock files.  I have passwd- file and passwd file is the -  in place of .lock in 12.04

[15:16] <prc384> in case people didnt see it before the split
[15:17] <jrib> prc384: why don't you answer my question?
[15:17] <christian__> is there anybod out here who uses an mobile internet usb stick ? please contact me
[15:17] <L3tops> pratz: alsa does not appear to have control of your pc speaker.
[15:17] <ikonia> christian__: on occasion, sure
[15:17] <prc384> i didnt see your question
[15:17] <prc384> sorry
[15:17] <prc384> @jrib
[15:17] <christian__> ikonia: which one ?
[15:17] <lyscer> When I do "ls -al" it lists out all of my directories but one; I can literally cd into it, but it will not list out - anyone know how to fix this?
[15:17] <lorddelta> Why hasn't this been patched yet? http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3048 I'm doing some dev which requires libpng, and I had a failed build, which prompted me to look for my libpng version...why the heck hasn't this serious vunlerability been patched? I'm looking at the output of both apt-cache and dpkg and they are both saying 1.2.46, not the patched version, 1.2.49 >_<
[15:18] <ikonia> christian__: a hunawi one, don't know the model
[15:18] <pratz> L3tops: I have no idea what the hell is going on
[15:18] <christian__> O.O and you run it on linux ?
[15:18] <ikonia> lorddelta: how do you know it's not been patched
[15:18] <ikonia> christian__: yes
[15:18] <christian__> please dont leave
[15:18] <christian__> can you tell me what you did to get it run ?
[15:18] <jrib> prc384: what is the output of « mount ».  Namely, is / mounted ro?
[15:18] <ikonia> christian__: have done for a few years when I'm out of the office
[15:18] <lorddelta> ikonia: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html
[15:18] <hje841> How do I remove the purple screen on logout so I can see the terminal outputs?
[15:18] <lorddelta> Big red box on the front page
[15:18] <ikonia> christian__: I opened the network manager, clicked on mobile broadband and clicked connects
[15:18] <Si2100> Okie, am just gonna go back to 10.04.04 and see if i can get a conneciton
[15:18] <lorddelta> My version is 1.2.46.
[15:18] <ikonia> lorddelta: how do you know the fix isn't back ported ?
[15:18] <lorddelta> ikonia: I should be worried, yes?
[15:18] <ikonia> lorddelta: no
[15:19] <lorddelta> ikonia: How can I check?
[15:19] <christian__> i don't have the newest ubuntu kernel, i think its still 10.4 i hope that doesnt make any problems
[15:19] <ruli> lyscer: how do you know it exists if you cant see it
[15:19] <ikonia> lorddelta: look at the release notes
[15:19] <lyscer> I can cd into the directory
[15:19] <prc384> so type <<mount>> in console?
[15:19] <Pici> lorddelta: Looks like its been patched in libpng: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2011/CVE-2011-3048.html
[15:19] <lorddelta> ikonia: command to do that would be nice to know?
[15:19] <genii-around> lyscer: Does the directory name start with some unusual character, like a period?
[15:19] <lyscer> it is a smb share
[15:19] <ikonia> christian__: I used to run mine on 8.04 and 10.04 no problem
[15:19] <ikonia> lorddelta: just trust the ubuntu developers
[15:19] <lyscer> no it is "Marketing"
[15:19] <christian__> ikonia: i will send you some ice-cream if you help me to fix it
[15:19] <Pici> lorddelta: see the url I just linked you.
[15:20] <ikonia> christian__: open the network manager applet and see if you see the mobile internet option
[15:20] <ruli> just trust ubuntu developers is a very bad idea
[15:20] <Pici> lorddelta: also http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1417-1/
[15:20] <lorddelta> Pici: I meant is there a decent way to see the release notes via command line? i.e. dpkg or something?
[15:20] <christian__> ikonia: you didnt need anything like wvdial or something like that ? i am trying it with the network manager right now
[15:20] <ikonia> ruli: why is that ?
[15:20] <christian__> one moment
[15:20] <ikonia> christian__: nothing at all
[15:20] <lorddelta> Pici, ikonia cat a file in a directory?
[15:20] <lyscer> when I do "ls -al" it doesn't show up, but I can "cd Marketing" and then "ls -al" and it shows all the files in the directory
[15:20] <ruli> ikonia: well they're not exactly the sharpest tools in the toolbox
[15:21] <Dr_willis> how vague..
[15:21] <christian__> ikonia: cannot open netowrk managr :D
[15:21] <Aruzsi> Hi!
[15:21] <ikonia> ruli: yet they make and maintain and ubuntu disto which is pretty much the most popular desktop on the linux platform,
[15:21] <Dr_willis> and they did backport the security fix to libpng it seems
[15:21] <ikonia> ruli: I'd suggest keeping your ill thought comments to yourself
[15:21] <lorddelta> ruli: I agree. I trust them enough to create my OS distro, but I like to make 100% sure myself (well, ok, 99%) if I'm made aware of a security vulnerability
[15:21] <ikonia> Dr_willis: looks that way
[15:21] <christian__> ikonia:  ok its open now, but i dont see any connect button
[15:21] <christian__> i never saw that button here
[15:21] <Aruzsi> Is gMTP working with Samsung Galaxy SII under Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit?
[15:21] <ruli> ikonia: yeah good luck with that
[15:22] <ikonia> lorddelta: so let me get this straight, you trust them to make your OS, but you trust yourself to manage it's security even though you have no idea how to do it
[15:22] <pratz> how can i turn off beep sound in 12.04 ?
[15:22] <lorddelta> ikonia, Dr_willis, Pici that's not a judgement on the ubuntu developers
[15:22] <lorddelta> ikonia: Why so quick to assume that I'm bashing?
[15:22] <pratz> and where are sound preferences in 12.04 ?
[15:22] <ikonia> lorddelta: clearly it is
[15:22] <lorddelta> ikonia: clearly I'm not
[15:22] <lorddelta> ikonia: I just want to make sure.
[15:22] <ikonia> lorddelta: you don't trust them to manage security effentially, yet you don't know how to do it yourself but you trust that knowledge over the experience of the people who maintain and build your distro
[15:23] <MonkeyDust> pratz  system settings, sound
[15:23] <ruli> lorddelta: ikonia is exactly right. you should switch to another distro
[15:23] <resno> does the base install of ubuntu 12.04 close port 20?
[15:23] <lorddelta> ikonia: So? I trust them to a point, and then attempt to learn the rest by myself.
[15:23] <christian__> where is the connect button at the network manager :D
[15:23] <resno> ah, never mind. didnt have the software isntalled
[15:23] <lorddelta> ikonia: please stop being so antagonistic.
[15:23] <ikonia> lorddelta: houw about trust them - they know what they are doing
[15:24] <lorddelta> ikonia: how about you could have just helped me out with a command and we wouldn't be having this silly argument?
[15:24] <ikonia> lorddelta: there isn't a command
[15:24] <Pici> lorddelta: Personally I prefer installing apt-listchanges to make sure that I know what changes are being updated when I do my upgrades.
[15:24] <pratz> MonkeyDust: hmm, but there is no option for beep or alert
[15:24] <ikonia> lorddelta: and the fact that you expect a command suggests you should just trust the developers
[15:24] <pratz> MonkeyDust: i thought there would be one
[15:24] <Pici> lorddelta: aptitude has a changelog command, but I'm not sure of one for apt.
[15:24] <lorddelta> Pici: *nod* I think I have something like that installed, I do try to read them, but the last update had something like 400+ updates...
[15:25] <lorddelta> So needless to say I didn't read them all
[15:25] <genii-around> Pici: Yes, I've found that very helpful after a failure, can check exactly what was changed without internet access
[15:25] <lorddelta> ikonia: no it doesn't
[15:25] <ikonia> lorddelta: good luck
[15:25] <nohouse> hi
[15:25] <lorddelta> ikonia: exactly. glad you can see my point.
[15:25] <pratz> guys anyone , how can i turn off beep sound from system in 12.04 ?
[15:25] <skx`> facebook's ipo already missed it's start
[15:25] <skx`> lmfao
[15:25] <nohouse> anyone can help setting up phone terminal
[15:25] <ikonia> skx`: nothing to do with ubuntu - so nothing to do with this channel
[15:26] <Dr_willis> pratz,  i cant even make mine beep. if its the pc speaker beeping. you  could blacklist the 'pcspkr' module.
[15:26] <Dr_willis> brb.
[15:26] <ruli> pratz:that is not configurable under ubuntu, sorry
[15:26] <nohouse> i have an old Nokia N95 8GB phone and would like to see what data info i can get out of it
[15:26] <pratz> ruli: now what do you mean by that ?
[15:26] <ikonia> pratz: ignore him - he's gone
[15:27] <lorddelta> ikonia: Never trust anyone 100%. I trust the ubuntu developpers, to a point, and after that point I want to make sure myself. To a point (no I'm not going to sit and stare at disassembly for hours. Also, a command does not imply that I trust the ubuntu developpers, I'd be fine with setting something up from source, from an external repo - unless the ubuntu developers are also responsible for gcc)
[15:27] <ikonia> lorddelta: I'm not interested, just do what you want
[15:27] <christian__> ikonia: why is there no connect button in my network manager :(
[15:27] <ikonia> christian__: do you see a mobile interenet (or words that effect) button ?
[15:27] <ikonia> christian__: or tab
[15:27] <lorddelta> ikonia: that's nice. if you aren't interested, stop replying.
[15:27] <christian__> ikonia: yes there is one mobile internet
[15:27] <ikonia> christian__: if you hover over it what do you see
[15:28] <Onixs> you sure its detected christian__
[15:28] <christian__> ikonia: nothing
[15:28] <ikonia> christian__: I'd check it's actually detected as Onixs has suggested
[15:29] <christian__> Onixs ikonia how can i check it correctly ? i always use lsusb
[15:29] <ikonia> christian__: do you see it in lsusb
[15:29] <CarlFK> 1/2 of my FireFox search things went away, like google and wikipedia.  - pretty sure it was the apt-get upgrade I did a few days ago.
[15:30] <christian__> Bus 002 Device 004: ID 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem / E270 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem
[15:30] <christian__> ikonia: thats how it is shown up in lsusb
[15:30] <ikonia> christian__: ok, so it's seen as a physical device
[15:30] <ikonia> christian__: you're using 10.04 yes
[15:30] <christian__> but is it seen as usb storage, or gsm modem ?
[15:31] <ikonia> christian__: should be seen as a modem
[15:31] <christian__> yes 10.4 lucid
[15:31] <ikonia> the fact that you don't see it in the network manager tool is a bit worrying
[15:31] <lorddelta> Pici: thanks again, I'll look into that apt package again.
[15:31] <christian__> i know it should be, but i dont know if its really seen as gsm modem
[15:31] <christian__> ikonia: i saw it in the network manager tool, but there is no connect button etc. etc.
[15:31] <ikonia> christian__: I do'nt see a reason it wouldn't be
[15:31] <ikonia> christian__: what do you see in the network manager tool for it
[15:32] <nohouse> hi
[15:32] <mneptok> christian__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Huawei
[15:32] <chu> nohouse: hello
[15:32] <pratz> Dr_willis: tried to black list  #blacklist pcspkr
[15:32] <pratz> Dr_willis: but still i can here the sound
[15:32] <Dr_willis> pratz,  check lsmod output perhaps..
[15:33] <pratz> Dr_willis: in the same file ?
[15:33] <christian__> mneptok: thx for the link, will take a look at it :)
[15:33] <christian__> ikonia: it doenst really tell me much about in the network manager, just an entry in the mobile internet tab
[15:33] <DeadLock> does anyone happen to know how to use USB mobile broadband when booting from a LiveCD?
[15:33] <nohouse> anyone can help with how to setup phone terminal between a laptop and a Nokia N95?
[15:33] <christian__> maybe i should try to delete it and re-plug the stick ?
[15:33] <Dr_willis> pratz,  lsmod shows if the module is loaded
[15:33] <christian__> it is possible that one of my friend created this entry manually
[15:33] <ikonia> christian__: what does the entry in the mobile internet tab say
[15:34] <christian__> the name, and last used: never
[15:34] <Dr_willis> !blacklist
[15:34] <ikonia> christian__: so it looks like it can see and use the device, it's just not configured
[15:34] <Frantic> guys, it seems that 12.04's apache2 doesn't have SNI support, any idea why?
[15:34] <ikonia> christian__: in the network manager connect manager is there a 3g network setup for it
[15:34] <L3tops> pratz try blacklist snd_pcsp
[15:35] <BranicYeti> Will Ubuntu executable files work in widows and/or mac?
[15:35] <christian__> there is a drop down menu where i can choose the type, 3g or 2g
[15:35] <christian__> ikonia:  or every type
[15:35] <ikonia> christian__: set up the type you want to use
[15:35] <ikonia> christian__: you need to have a service "defined" for the device
[15:36] <ikonia> christian__: I'm sorry, I have to run now
[15:36] <christian__> ikonia: thx for the help
[15:36] <George_Pooney> hey
[15:36] <ikonia> christian__: sorry I can't finish
[15:36] <christian__> ikonia: no problem :)
[15:36] <bibi23> hi, does anyone already updated php? I've made apt-get upgrade php5 but apparently it has no effect, is it with apt-get that I have to update php? thx
[15:36] <Dead_AssClown> wat do you think about fb stock
[15:36] <bazhang> Dead_AssClown, offtopic here
[15:36] <DaDaDOSPrompt> you name fits my viewpoint
[15:37] <chu> Dead_AssClown: Come to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to discuss fb
[15:37] <Dead_AssClown> kk
[15:37] <L3tops> bibi23: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install php5    should do the trick
[15:39] <nohouse> hi, does anyone know how i can see data info for my Nokia N95 8GB?
[15:39] <bibi23> L3tops: no it keeps me on php 5.3.2
[15:39] <bibi23> maybe I have to uninstall reinstall it?
[15:39] <BranicYeti> do ubuntu exectuable files work in windows and/or mac, either as a program or through the command shell?
[15:39] <nohouse> please help?
[15:39] <irenicus09> Hello...anyone knows if it's possible to make thunderbird check and notify about new incoming emails without actually running the full client?
[15:39] <Guest65314> Hello, I was wondering if Ubuntu is compatible with programs that say windows under system requirements? I remember there used to be long ago a wine interface that was suppose to do that
[15:39] <Rud> BranicYeti: without recompiling? no
[15:39] <L3tops> then that is all that is available. bibi23 apt-cache policy php5
[15:40] <irenicus09> what coincidence, Guest65314 consider yourself lucky to say hello with me at the same time :P
[15:40] <BranicYeti> Rud: would it be difficult to recompile it?
[15:40] <Dr_willis> !wine | Guest65314
[15:40] <Rud> BranicYeti: depends on how much system-specific stuff the program uses
[15:41] <BranicYeti> Rud: its a simple java decompiler  jd-gui to be precise
[15:41] <nohouse> hello? Any ideas?
[15:41] <llutz> BranicYeti: this one? http://java.decompiler.free.fr/jd-gui/downloads/jd-gui-0.3.3.windows.zip
[15:41] <Rud> BranicYeti: well. try it
[15:41] <bibi23> L3tops: it prints php 5.3.2, but on my local computer I have php 5.3.10 and I didn't do anything special, just apt-get install, no custom repositories or anything like that, and the webserver is ubuntu too so it's really strange...
[15:42] <Guest65314> Like Diablo II or mmorpg games
[15:42] <Zentaur> hello everybody
[15:42] <BranicYeti> llutz: possibly. im on my phone so i cant really follow the link. the name looks right though
[15:42] <bazhang> Guest65314, #winehq after checking the appdb
[15:42] <Zentaur> could anybody help me with samba? I made something wrong, i'm afraid
[15:42] <llutz> BranicYeti: so why don't you just check the project-site for precompiled packages?
[15:42] <L3tops> bibi23: you said L3tops: no it keeps me on php 5.3.2         that is the latest available in the repo
[15:43] <bazhang> !appdb | Guest65314
[15:43] <nohouse> could anyone help with phone terminal comm?
[15:43] <BranicYeti> Rud: im installing windows as we speak so i will do. the reason i ask is because i want to code some java to do something with the decompiler
[15:43] <Zentaur> i uninstalled samba from 10.04 and removed /etc/samba
[15:43] <wizard23> can anyone tell me what this means Qt: Locales not supported on X server?
[15:43] <Orpheon> someone know how to install opengl 32 bit on ubuntu 12.04 64-bit?
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> wizard23  what part dont you understand?
[15:44] <Zentaur> i reinstalled but there is no /etc/samba. it doesn't work now
[15:44] <wizard23> i am trying to install software that uses the qt libraries, but when i try to interact with it, i get kicked back to the login screen
[15:44] <L3tops> !patience | nohouse your question is not ubuntu specific, it is nokia/linux specific. You might try in #linux
[15:44] <wizard23> that is the only error i get when i load the program
[15:44] <BranicYeti> llutz: because my laptop is reinstalling the os. i cant do much whilst that is running. and i want the java im coding to work on any os
[15:44] <wizard23> ubuntu 12.04
[15:44] <Guest65314> last question, does Ubuntu support wine?
[15:44] <nohouse> k cheers
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> !details| wizard23
[15:44] <bazhang> Guest65314, yes of course
[15:45] <Guest65314> sweet, thank you for the help
[15:46] <Orpheon> I really need help getting that opengl running
[15:46] <Orpheon> wine refuses to work now
[15:46] <bibi23> L3tops: ok I've made the same command but apparently it's not the same repository, maybe because it' not the same ubuntu version, one is lucid-updates/main and the other precise-security/main, maybe I could switch repo to get 5.3.10?
[15:46] <bibi23> same command on my local pc*
[15:46] <nohouse> j/ #linux
[15:46] <DeadLock> Can I use Mobile Broadband when booting from a LiveCD?
[15:46] <L3tops> !ppa | bibi23
[15:46] <wizard23> ubottu: I am having trouble with EGSnrc monte carlo software, GUI based on Qt, i get Qt: Locales not supported on X server when I start the program from the commmand line, when I interact with the gui, i get sent back to the login screen and can repeat this with unity and gnome ubuntu 12.04, doesn't happen when I access over SSL tunnling from a remote server
[15:47] <dgcm_> so 12.04 and nvidia drivers anyone?
[15:47] <L3tops> dgcm_: yes.
[15:47] <Orpheon> yeah
[15:47] <dgcm_> i've had nothing but grief
[15:47] <Orpheon> heh
[15:47] <dgcm_> no matter what i've done, nvidia-settings will not accept x drivers, either open source or proprietary
[15:48] <L3tops> dgcm_: lspci -nn |grep VGA
[15:48] <Orpheon> what about the "Additional drivers" thing?
[15:48] <KE7VYV> I just installed 12.04 a few days ago and it wont open my sd card.
[15:48] <wizard23> my guess is something is wrong with unity and Qt, but I have no idea what to fix
[15:48] <bibi23> L3tops: the whole line for the repo providing php 5.3.10 is :  http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main , it looks like an official ubuntu repository for me, is it?
[15:48] <dgcm_> additional drivers doesn't find anything and doing it manually hasn't work either
[15:49] <eutheria> hi, what could cause all my openvpn connections to become greyed out?
[15:49] <dgcm_> my lappy actually has both an intel and nvidia
[15:50] <dgcm_> the intel is onboard, the idea being nvidia kicks in for anything that needs the extra power
[15:50] <abaratic1n> On an ubuntu machine of mine, resolv.conf is correctly identifying my search domain, but it's not pulling in the nameservers from dhcp.. how can I fix that?
[15:50] <L3tops> bibi23: perhaps your sources.list is missing repos. I take it you are in France?
[15:50] <L3tops> dgcm_: check out bumblebee
[15:51] <Darnoth> Can anyone familiar with preseeding tell me why I get prompted to confirm lvm partitioning when using http://pastebin.com/9czQPpVL on 12.04?
[15:51] <L3tops> dgcm_: the optimus cards are a real pain in the neck
[15:51] <dgcm_> didn't bumblebee get discontinued?
[15:51] <dgcm_> yeah everything i've come across thats worked for some people has not worked for me so far
[15:51] <dgcm_> causing untold grief at times lol
[15:51] <bibi23> L3tops: in fact my webserver is hosted in a kind of shared host with virtual machines, and their packages doesn't look like official ubuntu, it's :  http://update.onlinehome-server.info/distribution/ubuntu/
[15:51] <bibi23> yes I'm in france
[15:52] <L3tops> dgcm_: ironhide and bumblebee are both do not seem to have much active development... but to my knowledge they are not abandoned
[15:52] <L3tops> !sources | bibi23
[15:52] <coolcusty_> so i setup winscp for remote access from a windows computer to a linux and the only problem is is that on login the user goes to root rather than their home directory
[15:52] <L3tops> hmmm... that wasnt what I wanted
[15:52] <coolcusty_> is there a way i can fix this
[15:52] <KM0201> when i bought my new laptop, i avoided the ones w/ the dual GPU's, cuz i knew about their issues.
[15:53] <L3tops> bibi23: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[15:53] <dgcm_> my old lady bought this for me
[15:53] <dgcm_> as a surprise
[15:53] <L3tops> !enter | dgcm_
[15:53] <KM0201> take it back w/o telling her and exchange it
[15:53] <dgcm_> lol too late for that
[15:53] <dgcm_> actually it was costco.. hmmm
[15:53] <Darnoth> Guess I'll try asking a different question :)..  I've looked everywhere online and they swear "d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true" should fix my problem, but it doesn't.
[15:56] <dgcm_> i tried that
[15:56] <L3tops> dgcm_: most people do it wrong.
[15:56] <dgcm_> yeah it was the middle of the night when i did it lol
[15:57] <L3tops> dgcm_: lspci | grep VGA | cut -d' ' -f1 | awk 'NR==2'
[15:57] <bibi23> L3tops: ok I've generated a repo list, shoudl I paste them in a file now?
[15:57] <wizard23> well dose anyone know where I should go get advice about Qt and Unity?
[15:57] <KE7VYV> Can some1 help me with getting 12.04 to see my sd card?
[15:57] <`Korvin> is there any way to boot up from a server disk
[15:57] <`Korvin> without installing
[15:57] <wizard23> actually Qt and Ubuntu since it is happening in gnome to
[15:58] <`Korvin> I need to fix my partition, and I only have a server disk
[15:58] <dgcm_> yea i remember i pointed at it specifically one time and it just forced a 640x480 res
[15:58] <L3tops> bibi23: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bu
[15:58] <L3tops> bibi23: copy your new sources into /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get update
[15:58] <MonkeyDust> `Korvin  use a live cd to fix the partition, server has no live cd, only an installer
[15:59] <L3tops> er sudo apt-get update
[15:59] <L3tops> dgcm_: lspci | grep VGA | cut -d' ' -f1 | awk 'NR==2'
[15:59] <`Korvin> is there a tool that will install from ubuntu, or do I have to download a full disk?
[16:00] <oli_57> hello
[16:00] <KM0201> `Korvin: what do you mean?
[16:00] <`Korvin> eh nothing, I'll just download the iso
[16:00] <bibi23> L3tops: I just append them or should I remove the current repos? Wich don't look like official ubuntu urls.
[16:01] <L3tops> replace bibi23
[16:01] <makerbreaker> why would stuff in my /var/run directory keep getting chown to root?
[16:02] <bibi23> L3tops: ok done, and apt-get update too
[16:02] <makerbreaker> i need to to stay owned by a user, but something keeps resetting it
[16:03] <beandog> why do you need it owned by a user?
[16:03] <L3tops> dgcm_: lspci | grep VGA | cut -d' ' -f1 | awk 'NR==2' | while IFS=':. ' read -r tok1 tok2 tok3 rest; do printf '%2s %2s %s\n' "$((16#$tok1))":"$((16#$tok2))":"$((16#$tok3))" | sed -e 's/ //g'; done
[16:03] <L3tops> that will actually just spit out what you need Im afk.
[16:04] <darrenlooby> Hi Guys, I've decided to take an old laptop and make it a dev server at home to play with... it's got ubuntu desktop on it. Is there an easy way to make it a server only?
[16:04] <TheVoid_> wtf
[16:05] <TheVoid_> huge channel o.o
[16:05] <manit> hi
[16:05] <TheVoid_> hello
[16:07] <sk1special>  anyone know why when i do sudo apt-get update its listing two errors with firefox? /sources and /packages
[16:08] <OerHeks> sk1special, what errors does it report?
[16:08] <sk1special> ah failed to fetch 404 not found
[16:08] <KM0201> well, there you go.
[16:09] <KM0201> you've probably added a repository that is closed now.
[16:09] <OerHeks> well, too little info, what is the complete line?
[16:09] <sk1special> W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found
[16:09]  * KM0201 wins!
[16:09] <sk1special> W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
[16:09] <KM0201> sk1special: remove that PPA from your sources list, problem solved
[16:10] <OerHeks> !cookie > KM0201
[16:10] <sk1special> how do i do that?
[16:10] <KM0201> OerHeks: lol
[16:10] <KM0201> sk1special: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:10] <OerHeks> jups. undo the ppa in software centre > software sources
[16:10] <KM0201> or that way, if you want the GUI.
[16:11] <KM0201> probably better to use the GUI really
[16:11] <cavin> irc.what-network.net
[16:11] <sk1special> i like using the command line tho cause i dont know S*^ about ubuntu / linux
[16:11] <bibi23> L3tops: now I need to change the package for php5? I think it's still sync with the old one right?
[16:11] <KM0201> sk1special: well, sometimes using the GUI tools is smart, cuz it can be fairly unforgiving.
[16:12] <Taddle> hey
[16:12] <KM0201> sk1special: esspecialy when you're new
[16:12] <tom3p> lucid 10.04 doesnt recognize floppy drive, not listed in lshw. what to try?
[16:12] <beandog> sk1special: just edit /etc/apt/sources.list then
[16:12] <KM0201> sk1special: if you want to use command line.. then do this
[16:12] <L3tops> bibi23: apt-cache policy php5 | grep Candidate
[16:13] <KM0201> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list   when the file opens, find the "mozilla ppa" lines, and delete them.  then Contrl +X, then Y to save.
[16:13] <sk1special> ah yeah thats just how i learn tho i mean. by breaking stuff lol. but yeah mmk . ah mmk i shall try it
[16:14] <`Korvin> I just downloaded and burned ubuntu 12.04
[16:14] <Guest48085> Is there a way to encrypt a folder with a password?
[16:14] <bibi23> 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.15 ...
[16:14] <Guest48085> On 12.04
[16:14] <`Korvin> trying to boot up, and there is no try ubuntu option
[16:14] <`Korvin> what does rescue a broken system do
[16:14] <KM0201> Guest48085: there's a tool in the repositories called Truecrypt (i think thats the name) it will do exactly what you want.
[16:14] <Guest48085> Have you tried F12 on bootup Korvin?
[16:15] <`Korvin> no
[16:15] <`Korvin> trying
[16:15] <bibi23> L3tops: it's 5.3.2, the difference between my local 5.3.10 and the server one is that server is lucid, and local precise, that's the reason?
[16:15] <bazhang> KM0201, truecrypt in the repos? which one
[16:15] <`Korvin> nothing
[16:15] <KM0201> bazhang: i said I "think" thats the name..lol, apprently i'm wrong
[16:15] <KM0201> but there's an app in the repos to do it.
[16:16] <bibi23> otherwise they're both on official ubuntu repo :  http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[16:16] <djQuery> all of a sudden since upgrading to ubuntu 12 every once in a while my sound card freaks out and I get weird static instead of the sound
[16:17] <L3tops> I am confused bibi23... what version are you on?
[16:17] <KM0201> cryptkeeper
[16:17] <KM0201> !info cryptkeeper
[16:17] <bibi23> L3tops: lucid
[16:18] <`Korvin> GOD DAMNIT
[16:18] <L3tops> Ok... bibi23 why are you trying to upgrade php5 to begin with?
[16:18] <KM0201> `Korvin: please..
[16:18] <`Korvin> no option to live disk
[16:18] <KM0201> which ISO did you download?
[16:19] <bibi23> L3tops: I have an application requiring 5.3.3
[16:19] <`Korvin> eh 64x
[16:19] <bibi23> L3tops: I'd like to go to 5.3.10 or only 5.3.3 if not possible
[16:21] <L3tops> Wow... ok... well that isnt even avail in precise... you are going to go get it... bibi23 what arch are you on? uname -m
[16:21] <Taddle> I've got a problem. I have got Apache on my Ubuntu Desktop (working as my server) and am currently trying to install mysql to make everything work, but things seem to be coming from the dotdeb repo. Anybody got any idea on how I can get rid of this not working repo?
[16:22] <L3tops> Taddle: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:22] <Taddle> L3tops, through SSH please?
[16:22] <bibi23> L3tops: x86_64
[16:22] <Guest48085> truecrypt seems to be working :)
[16:22] <XX> my left bar is bugging on 11.10
[16:23] <XX> halp please
[16:23] <L3tops> Taddle: are you familiar with vi/vim?
[16:23] <milen8204> I have strange problem. My Update Manager notes that I have updates that need to be installed
[16:23] <milen8204> but when I start to install I got that masage CD/DVD 'Xubuntu 12.04 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release i386 (20120423)' is required
[16:23] <milen8204> Please insert the above CD/DVD into the drive '/media/cdrom/' to install software packages from it.
[16:23] <kenjy> where can I set my dns's in a way that are not overwritted on /etc/resolv.conf ?
[16:23] <L3tops> Taddle: I juts use vim... people are very fond of nano etc.
[16:23] <Taddle> L3tops, errr, vim for windows
[16:23] <jrib> !notes | kenjy
[16:24] <jrib> kenjy: read release notes about resolvconf
[16:24] <jrib> kenjy: (assuming you are on 12.04)
[16:24] <Taddle> l3tops, so not really no...
[16:24] <Darnoth> Taddle: Use nano for the editor then.
[16:24] <Taddle> hold on, lemme see if VNC is turned on
[16:24] <L3tops> milen8204: in /etc/apt/sources.list  you will find a file://cdrom or some such nonsense. Put a # in front of it.
[16:24] <MrChattyPants> So, I'm sure most of you know that the Update Manager has changed its name, right?
[16:25] <milen8204> L3tops, thanks
[16:25] <L3tops> np
[16:25] <kenjy> jrib: Im on 12.04
[16:25] <wylde> Taddle: you could always restart your ssh session with -X and start gui apps over ssh.
[16:25] <jrib> kenjy: great, then that link should help you
[16:26] <Taddle> VNC is on :) I'll just open up gedit
[16:26] <kenjy> jrib: can't find it, any hint?
[16:26] <jrib> kenjy: can't find what?
[16:27] <kenjy> jrib: changes about resolv.conf aren't a new feature and I can't see any networking related stuff on the content list of the right https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuServer#New_Features_in_Ubuntu_Server
[16:27] <L3tops> bibi23: http://dracoblue.net/dev/installing-php-535536-on-ubuntu-mavericklucid/194/      check that out. Replace maverick with lucid.
[16:27] <Taddle> Okay, I'm in that file, right, what now?
[16:27] <milen8204> L3tops, it works thanks a lot
[16:28] <L3tops> hash out the offending deb Taddle (put a # in front of it) and save
[16:28] <jrib> kenjy: search the page for "resolvconf".  It's in the "Common Infrastructure" section
[16:29] <kenjy> jrib: tnks buddy, I've found it
[16:29] <jerry> HI -- I have an older PC that I have updated through many Ubuntu releases.  With 11.10, though, I have a wee problem: update-grub *says* it's rewriting menu.lst, but doesn't actually do that.  Anyone know why that is and how to fix it?
[16:30] <L3tops> Taddle: Assuming it is there, then sudo apt-get update and move on. If it is not there, ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d and delete it from wherever it lives in there.
[16:30] <kenjy> jrib: dns-nameservers on interfaces, this is what I was loooking for =) tnks
[16:30] <bibi23> L3tops: it's written nginx in the ppa url, I'm with apache, it's not an issue?
[16:31] <L3tops> jerry: I dont believe 11.10 uses menu.lst. I believe it is on grub2, and that file is no longer used... but... strange...
[16:31] <Taddle> Okay, install mysql, now I get "klu@klu-HP-Compaq-dx2420-Microtower:/var/www/staging/sites$ mysql
[16:31] <Taddle> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)"
[16:32] <L3tops> I dont know bibi23. I am just googling... Just apt-get update, apt-get install php5, and delete the ppa, apt-get update again. Should be just dandy.
[16:32] <MrChattyPants> I edited some files for the update- manager to change its name in the strings. How do I compile it and get it working now?
[16:32] <jeeves_moss> how can I fix my inability to right click the panel?  I want to add things to it, but when I right click it, nothing happens.
[16:33] <L3tops> That means, typically that mysql is not running Taddle. What are you trying to do exactly?
[16:33] <Taddle> Use mysql
[16:33] <L3tops> for what
[16:33] <L3tops> and over ssh?
[16:33] <Taddle> L3tops, my web server over SSH
[16:33] <proka> Hey, does anyone have info on how to record live streaming video?
[16:33] <L3tops> You will probably want to invoke as mysqld --skip-networking &
[16:34] <proka> The video will be streaming on ustream.tv
[16:34] <proka> If that helps...
[16:34] <L3tops> or something similar...
[16:34] <Orpheon> does someone happen to know how to get number of seconds since epoch in C?
[16:34] <jerry> L3tops: Actually, I have kept this machine updated since before there was a grub2.  So its still on grub legacy
[16:34] <sk1special> proka: this has some useful stuff ..for me anyway. http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2012/03/09/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-12-04-lts-aka-precise-pangolin/
[16:35] <proka> Uhhh.. I hope I can install that on 10.04
[16:35] <Taddle> L3tops, err, what? I don't have a clue about this side of things, I can manage an existing setup, but I can't set something up, could you give me commands or something please?
[16:35] <sk1special> proka: its just a list of progs this guy made..alot it says is from older versions so maybe * shrug*
[16:35] <proka> Oh, I see
[16:36] <proka> Cool :)
[16:36] <bibi23> L3tops: ok, packages are not found if I replace maverick with lucid, but basically I just have to find some php5 ppa and put them where you told me, then as you told me, update, install and update
[16:36] <proka> Thanks, I hope this will work
[16:36] <proka> I'm in a bit of a hurry, since the stream is about to start :D
[16:37] <Quantum_Ion> How do you get rid of unity
[16:37] <L3tops> Taddle: I did. You cannot start mysql directly over ssh, so you will need to background the process with an &
[16:37] <L3tops> You will probably want to invoke as mysqld --skip-networking &
[16:37] <beandog> L3tops: Taddle: the init script isn't working?
[16:37] <thesheff17_> someone gnome classic has changed to Chinese characters...does anyone know how to change this back?
[16:37] <beandog> Check the MySQL error log
[16:37] <Quantum_Ion> They advised me to wait until July until the finish release of 12.04 LTS is done
[16:38] <beandog> /var/log/mysql/something.err
[16:38] <beandog> probably
[16:38] <beandog> er /var/lib/mysql
[16:38] <beandog> I meant
[16:38] <MrChattyPants> How does one compile the update-manager from source?
[16:39] <wylde> !compile | MrChattyPants
[16:39] <L3tops> correct bibi23
[16:39] <Taddle> Okay, I don't think that helped: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1644968
[16:40] <beandog> mysqld: Can't change dir to '/var/lib/mysql/'
[16:40] <beandog> there's your problem, botched install.  Start it over.
[16:40] <Mola_Ram_Vishnu> Compiling from source is real tricky
[16:40] <Taddle> Okay
[16:41] <Taddle> Thanks!
[16:41] <L3tops> thanks beandog... I didn't follow
[16:42] <Taddle> Lol,98.3kB for a whole mysql install
[16:42] <L3tops> bright out here, and my highlighting was orange on yellow
[16:42] <Taddle> That sounds wrong in every way possible
[16:42] <L3tops> Taddle: how are you trying to install?
[16:42] <L3tops> Taddle: what command did you use
[16:43] <Taddle> L3tops, apt get install mysql-server
[16:43] <Taddle> It was connected to dotdeb though
[16:43] <L3tops> Taddle: then it looks like you were just missing a piece
[16:43] <L3tops> Taddle: I thought you removed that and updated
[16:43] <Taddle> Err, I can't even remove mysql now
[16:44] <Taddle> sudo apt get remove mysql-server is right isn't it?
[16:44] <beandog> just use force
[16:44] <L3tops> well... first I would get rid of that errant deb
[16:44] <L3tops> Taddle: ^
[16:44] <L3tops> s/deb/source/
[16:45] <MrChattyPants> Is update-manager written in Java?
[16:45] <Taddle> Done
[16:45] <Mola_Ram_Vishnu> MrChattyPants, Hello No !
[16:45] <beandog> heh
[16:45] <MrChattyPants> Thank god.
[16:45] <L3tops> and update Taddle
[16:45] <beandog> I was gonna say ...
[16:45] <Taddle> http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1644991
[16:45] <Mola_Ram_Vishnu> MrChattyPants, Most likely GTK+
[16:46] <Taddle> http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1644993
[16:47] <MrChattyPants> Can someone actually help me with the compilation of update-manager?
[16:47] <Mola_Ram_Vishnu> MrChattyPants, Do you know the difference between C++ and Java ?
[16:47] <MrChattyPants> ^Yes.
[16:47] <MrKeuner> hello, is it possible to make a box connect to wireless AP even if noone has signed in?
[16:47] <MrKeuner> precise
[16:47] <L3tops> Taddle: is there a reason you have those ppas?
[16:48] <Taddle> ppas?
[16:48] <L3tops> !ppa | Taddle
[16:48] <beandog> MrKeuner: yah, you could do it manually
[16:48] <MrKeuner> beandog, in which file?
[16:48] <beandog> it might make networkmanager unhappy though
[16:48] <Taddle> Oh, I didn't put them there
[16:48] <MrChattyPants> People, some help would be very much appreciated.
[16:48] <MrKeuner> beandog, I wouldn't do it despite Network manager
[16:48] <harry_> What is your problem?
[16:49] <L3tops> beandog: for instance W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/brianmercer/php/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/source/Sources
[16:49] <beandog> MrKeuner: you'd use iwconfig stuff, and then dhcp client to get an address
[16:49] <beandog> L3tops: wait, whut?
[16:49] <MrChattyPants> I need someone to help with recompiling the update-manager, harry_.
[16:49] <thesheff17_> all my characters changed to this: 不经验证就安装这些软件包吗？[y/N] anyone know how to fix this?
[16:49] <llutz> MrKeuner: isn't it connecting by default if you set "connection available for all users" in networkmanager?
[16:50] <MrKeuner> llutz, haven't tried it, do you think it would?
[16:50] <beandog> llutz: I think he means, with no login
[16:50] <MrKeuner> beandog, corrrect
[16:50] <harry_> Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it through the software center GUI?
[16:50] <llutz> MrKeuner: at least on my netbook it does. wifi-connection is established without any user being logged in
[16:50] <L3tops> beandog: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1644993
[16:50] <llutz> beandog: yes
[16:50] <MrKeuner> llutz, beandog great I'll try it thanks
[16:50] <Taddle> I'm guessing I should comment out all the the failing repo PPAs and those CDROM things
[16:51] <beandog> L3tops: I'm not familiar enough with apt to know what that's doing
[16:51] <beandog> Taddle: that's what I was going to suggest
[16:51] <L3tops> beandog: I would just tell him to sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*; sudo apt-get update
[16:51] <L3tops> but I am lazy
[16:51] <Relo> can someone tell me how to download packages through Ubuntu's command line?
[16:51] <paolo_> hi. which is the alsa development package in 11.10 ?
[16:51] <beandog> L3tops: I like it
[16:52] <beandog> Relo: aptitude download
[16:52] <llutz> Relo: sudo apt-get install packagename
[16:52] <Relo> sudo apt-get install xxxxx doesn't work. it wants to assume I have the package already
[16:53] <llutz> Relo: exact error is?
[16:53] <harry_> Does anyone have problems were their sound card? Mine will randomly stop getting detected but a reboot fixes it
[16:53] <Relo> command is: sudo apt-get install lynx-cur. I get E: unable to locate package lynx-cur
[16:53] <Relo> tried just lynx...
[16:53] <Relo> same. went into aptitude and lynx isnt there
[16:53] <llutz> !info lynx-cur
[16:53] <dagolfnut> Can anyone here help with connection issues in Pidgin?
[16:54] <llutz> Relo: check your sources.list
[16:54] <vidb> how to get folders using ncftp please?
[16:54] <L3tops> Taddle: if there are ppas in /etc/apt/sources.list then yes, comment them out. but they may exist in /etc/apt/sources.list.d in which case you would sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*  then sudo apt-get update again
[16:54] <MrChattyPants> I download the  lp:ubuntu/precise-updates/update-manager source files, then went ahead and merged them with the new strings from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mterry/update-manager/string-changes/revision/2426. So how do I get a .deb file from that now?
[16:54] <beandog> vidb: what do you mean?  Like fetch them?  Do recursive ... ncftpget -r
[16:54] <jeeves_moss> how can I fix my inability to right click the panel?  I want to add things to it, but when I right click it, nothing happens.
[16:55] <Relo> alright im there but I dont know what im looking for...
[16:55] <vidb> beandog, I want to copy some folders from a distant server, i tried ncftp but it copy only files.
[16:56] <Relo> there isn't a single download command to grab tarballs?
[16:56] <beandog> vidb: yah, just use recursive, otherwise it'll only fetch stuff in the root diretory
[16:56] <beandog> *directory
[16:56] <llutz> Relo: you use packages with apt/dpkg not tarballs
[16:56] <LmAt> How do I remove a keyboard layout in Ubuntu?
[16:56] <LmAt> I removed it in Gnome, but when I use TTY, it's still there!
[16:56] <xangua> jeeves_moss: if you are talking about fallback mode, you need to keep pressed Super+Alt i believe
[16:56] <vidb> beandog, can u give me a command exemple please?
[16:56] <beandog> thesheff17: whats your locale set to
[16:57] <Taddle> I'm running the remove command again, and it seems to be trying to run a failing, broken setup
[16:57] <L3tops> LmAt: did you ever fix your tty problem?
[16:57] <MrChattyPants> Let me ask again: I download the  lp:ubuntu/precise-updates/update-manager source files, then went ahead and merged them with the new strings from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mterry/update-manager/string-changes/revision/2426. So how do I get a .deb file from that now?
[16:57] <docmur> how do I remove the overlay scroll bar, it's might be the worlds worst idea ever intergrated into a GUI
[16:57] <L3tops> Taddle: dpkg --configure -a
[16:57] <beandog> vidb: ncftp
[16:57] <coolcusty_> so i'm allowing users to access to an ubuntu box to retrieve and store files via winscp. it's working great. the only thing is that when the user logs in it goes to the root directory and not the user home directory.
[16:57] <beandog> vidb: help get
[16:57] <LmAt> L3tops: Yeah, I sudo service gdm stop  .  But I guess I wouldn't actually call that "fixing" the problem.
[16:57] <Relo> okay perhaps I just don't understand then
[16:57] <LmAt> L3tops: Thanks for asking :)
[16:57] <jeeves_moss> xangua, I'm running the newest release.  and when I go to the top of the desktop, and right click the panel, nothing happens.  normally, I can right click and "add to panel".
[16:57] <vidb> ok thank you
[16:57] <llutz> Relo: it shuld contain a line like "deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse"
[16:58] <llutz> Relo: just different mirror than de.archive.... perhaps
[16:58] <L3tops> Taddle: that will need a sudo... sorry.
[16:58] <Relo> yes, it does
[16:58] <llutz> Relo: so run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lynx-cur"
[16:58] <docmur> nevermind I got them disabled :-)
[16:58] <xangua> jeeves_moss: if you mean unity the panel position is fixed
[16:59] <coolcusty_> is there a way to restrict user login and navigation to their home directory and it's sub directories
[16:59] <Taddle> God you guys know a lot :P
[16:59] <jeeves_moss> xangua, I'm not trying to move it, just add widgets to it
[16:59] <LmAt> Well, after reading, it looks like I should just re-install ubuntu...
[16:59] <sk1special> yeah
[16:59] <beandog> coolcusty_: its called a chroot
[16:59] <xangua> jeeves_moss: well you can add Indicators
[16:59] <beandog> coolcusty_: derp, root jail.  my bad.
[16:59] <jeeves_moss> xangua, ???
[16:59] <beandog> LmAt: what happened?
[16:59] <thesheff17_> anyone have all Chinese characters?  I have no idea how to fix this
[16:59] <Taddle> L3tops, what was your intention with that?
[17:00] <thesheff17_> and I can't read any of the menus
[17:00] <xangua> jeeves_moss: http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/what-application-indicators-are-available
[17:00] <beandog> thesheff17_: what's your locale set to?  Open a terminal and run "locale"
[17:00] <L3tops> Taddle: that attempts to reconfigure broken package installs
[17:00] <Taddle> It seems like it made no change to me
[17:00] <beandog> and pastebin it
[17:00] <jeeves_moss> xangua, thank you
[17:00] <LmAt> beandog: I have two keyboard layouts: US and Dvorak.  I got a keyboard that handles the dvorak by itself, so that the computer thinks everything is in qwerty.
[17:00] <coolcusty_> beandog: i'll look into it
[17:00] <L3tops> Taddle: now apt-get remove again
[17:00] <OerHeks> thesheff17, did you actually update a videodriver?
[17:00] <LmAt> beandog: I would now like to remove the dvorak keyboard layout, but don't know how.
[17:00] <beandog> coolcusty_: good luck man, usually it's in place for someone doing remote connections like SSH.
[17:00] <thesheff17_> I ran updates
[17:00] <thesheff17_> LANGUAGE=zh_CN:en
[17:00] <beandog> LmAt: oh, that ... it's probably apt-reconfigure kbd or something
[17:00] <LmAt> beandog: I got it working in gnome (very easily), but when I switch to tty1, the dvorak layout is happening again.
[17:01] <Relo> okay, well... obviously I'm a linux noob so my questions will be annoying, but why can't I just specify a link to somewhere. Say I want to download... i donno... anything other than something that comes from xxxx.ubuntu.xxxx. I simply can't do it?
[17:01] <teh5abiking> hello all
[17:01] <Taddle> No change
[17:01] <iSeeDeadPixels> who can help me with setting up MaaS with a existing DHCP server?
[17:01] <beandog> LmAt: http://www.wikihow.com/Change-Keyboard-Layout-in-Ubuntu
[17:01] <beandog> LmAt: Oh, just reboot then
[17:01] <jeeves_moss> xangua, I'm actually using Gnome classic
[17:01] <bibi23> L3tops: I found a package wich looks serious, https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5 , I've added the ppa, update etc, but php can't be upgraded because of dependencies that needs to be updated to, is there a way to update php and all the dependencies too?
[17:01] <L3tops> beandog: LmAt dpkg --reconfigure
[17:01] <LmAt> beandog: I did a few times :(
[17:01]  * TheVoid_ is on gnome2
[17:01] <llutz> Relo: you want to read about apt basics https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto
[17:01] <beandog> L3tops: I was close. :)
[17:02] <beandog> LmAt: Okay then, it's system keyboard.
[17:02] <beandog> please hold.
[17:02] <wylde> iSeeDeadPixels: #ubuntu-server would probably have people better able to help.
[17:02] <L3tops> bibi23: PPAs are unsupported I am afraid. You are a bit on your own there. If you absolutely have to have the lastes version on lucid, you will have to work it out.
[17:02] <beandog> L3tops: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[17:02] <yohann> i know this is not the right place but i couldnt find a python irc, im having encoding erros in my python script
[17:02] <xangua> bibi23: if the ppa doesn't work you need to contact the ppa maintainer
[17:02] <beandog> thesheff17_: okay, what's your native language
[17:03] <coolcusty_> also how can i give a user a home directory
[17:03] <MrChattyPants> Here's the list of files that I need to make into a .deb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/994526/. How do I do it?
[17:03] <LmAt> L3tops: , I'll check.
[17:03] <beandog> coolcusty_: see userad d--help
[17:03] <beandog> coolcusty_: useradd --help, rather
[17:03] <Relo> llutz: alright I'll have a look. thanks
[17:03] <coolcusty_> thanks
[17:03] <beandog> coolcusty_: usermod --help if they already have an account
[17:04] <wylde> !alis | yohann
[17:04] <yohann> Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<stdin>", line 3, in <module> UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe4' in position 9: ordinal not in range(128) >>>
[17:04] <coolcusty_> ok
[17:04] <L3tops> bibi23: do not try and apt-get dist-upgrade as the thing suggests, install only the package you are after... ppas lead to all sorts of breakage.
[17:04] <yohann> ok thanks wylde
[17:05] <bibi23> L3tops: I already made it.. but I didn't update any package yet as there were a dependency issue
[17:05] <Taddle> Where should I go from here?
[17:05] <LmAt> beandog: Okay, configuring now.  This looks promising :)
[17:05] <L3tops> Again bibi23, that falls out of support, and I am in 4 chans trying to help folks.
[17:05] <beandog> LmAt: I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say that you may have to reboot
[17:06]  * beandog gives L3tops a cookie
[17:06]  * Taddle gives everyone a cookie
[17:06] <Taddle> Thanks for your help so far :D
[17:06] <quiescens> yay cookie
[17:07] <Taddle> God, that cut a hole in my bank account
[17:07] <Taddle> 1776 cookies is not cheap
[17:07] <LmAt> beandog: That didn't work :(
[17:07] <LmAt> beandog: It didn't mention the keyboard layout.
[17:07] <L3tops> !cookie | beandog
[17:07] <beandog> LmAt: really?  whut.
[17:08] <beandog> LmAt: did it have you pick your native language and all that
[17:08] <bibi23> L3tops: ok so I'll don't do that if it's dangerous, but I don't really understand how should I do then, because with the ppa you gave me earlier wasn't it the same issue? unsuported
[17:08] <LmAt> beandog: really :)  It talked about character set, and font size (which I changed), but not layout.
[17:08] <LmAt> beandog: It asked me the encoding and charcter set, not the layout.
[17:08] <Dr_willis> !dock
[17:08] <beandog> LmAt: I think that's probably it.  Try a reboot, if youc an
[17:08] <L3tops> I gave you a website to try, after explaining that it is dangerous and unsupported bibi23. Don't punish me for trying to help.
[17:08] <LmAt> beandog: hmm, okay.
[17:08] <beandog> LmAt: or this http://en.kioskea.net/faq/10878-ubuntu-change-keyboard-layout
[17:10] <LmAt> beandog: I did that.
[17:10] <beandog> LmAt: weird.  I dunno.
[17:10] <LmAt> beandog: It changes the keyboard layout in gnome.  But afer I restart, the deleted keyboard layout is back!
[17:10] <LmAt> beandog: Okay.
[17:10] <beandog> LmAt: really.  Hmm, one sec.
[17:10] <Suse99> chi è italiano?
[17:10] <blitzkrieg766> what is default passwd for root in ubuntu server
[17:10] <Suse99> chi è italiano?
[17:11] <Suse99> chi è italiano?
[17:11] <Suse99> ?
[17:11] <martinphone> rhythmbox help: how can I play mpc files with it?
[17:11] <beandog> LmAt: pastebin /etc/default/keyboard
[17:11] <Suse99> ciao
[17:11] <beandog> blitzkrieg766: doesn't have one, you use the user account you setup to use sudo
[17:11] <bibi23> L3tops: yes thanks for your help I'm grateful for that, I'm just trying to understand how the packages work because I'm kind of lost in that
[17:11] <LmAt> beandog: That's difficult on tty, but I'll give it my best shot.
[17:11] <beandog> well, that's not entirely true ... it *does* have one, but it's scrambled
[17:11] <beandog> LmAt: use nopaste
[17:12] <beandog> LmAt: nopaste /etc/default/keyboard
[17:12] <beandog> LmAt: Are you on console right now?
[17:12] <LmAt> beandog: installing...
[17:12] <LmAt> beandog: Using tty1
[17:12] <wylde> !root | blitzkrieg766
[17:12] <Dr_willis> wowsers - cairo dock has a lot of features.. ;)
[17:13] <beandog> LmAt: do you have a mouse cursor?
[17:13] <LmAt> beandog: Yes, it's running irssi.  Tty 2 is installing.
[17:13] <LmAt> beandog: nope.
[17:13] <beandog> LmAt: install gpm if you want a mouse
[17:13] <MrChattyPants> I download the lp:ubuntu/precise-updates/update-manager source files, then went ahead and merged them with the new strings from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mterry/update-manager/string-changes/revision/2426. So how do I get a .deb file from that now? Here's a list of files in update-manager now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/994526/.
[17:13] <beandog> LmAt: comes in pretty handy. :)
[17:13] <beandog> LmAt: also, tmux / screen ftw
[17:13] <blitzkrieg766> amen!!! tmux rules
[17:13]  * beandog floods LmAt with options
[17:13] <blitzkrieg766> using it NOW
[17:14] <blitzkrieg766> every dang day
[17:14] <beandog> ^5 blitzkrieg766
[17:14] <LmAt> beandog: I'm not interested in a mouse, but I forgot to run tmux before running irssi.  no foresight :(
[17:14] <beandog> LmAt: nooooes
[17:14] <LmAt> https:\\gist.github.com\2726485
[17:14] <LmAt> beandog: That was a LITTLE easier ;)
[17:15] <LmAt> beandog: I had to run nopaste, copy the url somewhere else, go back to irssi, and type the url again :P
[17:15] <bibi23> L3tops: maybe I can take the same repository than for my local computer, the difference is that it's precise instead of lucid, does it make it uncompatible?
[17:15] <beandog> LmAt: Right, with gpm you could have done copy / paste
[17:15] <beandog> middle click ftw, also. ;)
[17:15] <LmAt> beandog: Oh, gpm (gnome package manager?) has a clipboard with it?  Is it a service?
[17:15] <coolcusty_> beandog: so i tried usermod and it give me a "no changes"  message but there isn't a directory for the user in the home directory and upon logging in i got "could not chdir to home directory /home/theuser: no such file or directory"
[17:15] <beandog> LmAt: no ... gdm
[17:15] <beandog> er
[17:15] <beandog> blah
[17:15] <LmAt> beandog: You use qwerty?
[17:15] <MrChattyPants> Are the nVidia drivers stable enough now since nVidia released an update to them?
[17:16] <beandog> LmAt: gpm                                                                                - General Purpose Mouse interface
[17:16] <LmAt> beandog: I have gdm.  I stopped it (sudo service
[17:16] <LmAt> oh
[17:16] <beandog> LmAt: you dont have to stop it to get to console ... use ctl alt f1
[17:16] <LmAt> beandog: What does your /etc/default/keyboard say?
[17:16] <beandog> LmAt: alt f7 to get back
[17:17] <LmAt> beandog: That doesn't work for previously described reasons.
[17:17] <beandog> LmAt: http://pastie.org/3931614
[17:17] <beandog> LmAt: Right, of course.
[17:17] <LmAt> \me edits his keyboard file.
[17:17] <LmAt> beandog: I'll need to restart after editing, right|
[17:17] <beandog> coolcusty_: okay just make the home directory as root, then chown it to that user;  fex, mkdir /home/beandog; chown beandog: /home/beandog
[17:18] <LmAt> beandog: Dang it, I can't edit the freaking file... oh yeah, sudo vim...
[17:18] <coolcusty_> fex
[17:18] <coolcusty_> lol sorry
[17:18] <beandog> LmAt: heh
[17:18] <beandog> coolcusty_: fex = for example
[17:18] <LmAt> "keyboard" written
[17:18] <LmAt> restarting, brb.
[17:18] <LmAt> \quit
[17:18] <LmAt> doh
[17:18] <beandog> heh
[17:18] <beandog> poor guy
[17:18] <delac> Is it even possible to write udev rules on Pangolin? I have tried everything and nothing seems to work...
[17:19] <sk1special> can you change the icon that progs use in the launcher?
[17:20] <MrKeuner> is there a way to find out which package my mail command came with?
[17:20] <llutz> MrKeuner: dpkg -S $(which mail)
[17:20] <cristian_c> Hi
[17:20] <MrKeuner> llutz, thanks
[17:20] <cristian_c> How can I identify alsa mosules?
[17:20] <beandog> MrKeuner: dpkg -L /usr/bin/binary-name
[17:20] <cristian_c> *
[17:21] <cristian_c> *modules
[17:21] <MrKeuner> llutz, I got this actually, dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/mail.
[17:21] <irenicus09> hi are there any appication for controlling heat management @laptop? :P
[17:21] <llutz> MrKeuner: its most likely jsut a symlink
[17:21] <irenicus09> or does it have to be done the hard way
[17:21] <beandog> irenicus09: lm_sensors, acpid, etc.
[17:22] <MrKeuner> beandog, dpkg-query: error: package name in specifier '/usr/bin/mail' is illegal: must start with an alphanumeric character
[17:22] <MrKeuner> llutz, ok
[17:22] <LmAt> beandog: It didn't work.
[17:22] <LmAt> beandog: I'm using gnome now.
[17:22] <LmAt> beandog: It looks like nothing changed.
[17:22] <MrKeuner> llutz, you are right, symlink to /etc/alternatives/mail
[17:22] <llutz> beandog: dpkg -L    needs a packagename to list files, -S is to find a package
[17:23] <beandog> llutz: derp
[17:23] <llutz> MrKeuner: follow the links to find the endpoint
[17:23] <trism> sk1special: change the Icon= line in the .desktop file the launcher uses, then drag and drop it back on the launcher (the default .desktop files are usually in /usr/share/applications/, easiest to copy them to ~/.local/share/applications/ and edit there)
[17:23] <LmAt> http://gist.github.com/2726541
[17:23] <irenicus09> beandog: no high level application to handle those?
[17:23] <irenicus09> laptop_mode is good for power management
[17:23] <beandog> LmAt: can you pastebin /etc/default/keyboard again
[17:23] <beandog> LmAt: also, output of locale
[17:24] <LmAt> beandog: http://gist.github.com/2726541
[17:24] <MrKeuner> llutz, it was package: heirloom-mailx. Is there a way to find out what package triggered its installation?
[17:24] <sk1special> ah mmk t/y
[17:24] <LmAt> http://gist.github.com/2726552
[17:24] <MrKeuner> llutz, I did not install it specifically
[17:24] <oscar> Hi, I've just install OpenXenManager and had to make my own OpenXenManager.desktop, that's fine. I can start OXM from launcher but it does not indicate it's running so I can't switch to it, just start another instance. Am I missing something in my .desktop file?
[17:24] <llutz> MrKeuner: aptitude why packagename
[17:25] <beandog> LmAt: hmm that's what mine is too.  Now I'm really stumped.
[17:25] <MrKeuner> llutz, thank you very much
[17:25] <beandog> LmAt: how did you switch it to begin with?
[17:25] <LmAt> beandog: At installation, it asked what keyboard I use. I told it "dvorak".
[17:25] <beandog> LmAt: Also, see if it's that way with another user, too... could be an environment variable somewhere ... I'm not really familiar with keyboard layouts
[17:25] <cristian_c> on other question:
[17:25] <LmAt> beandog: Okay, I'll create another user.
[17:25] <beandog> LmAt: well if it asked at install
[17:25] <beandog> hmm
[17:25] <cristian_c> How can I activate pinch gesture on my touchpad with ubuntu?
[17:25] <beandog> it's probaby global
[17:26] <LmAt> beandog: yup, probably :)  Now I want to globally change it :P
[17:26] <beandog> LmAt: well I dunno man, just google it I guess. -_-
[17:26] <LmAt> beandog: Thanks for your time.
[17:27] <tankcr> hi all, are there any kernel devs online? I need a little help
[17:27] <beandog> LmAt: yah, sorry man, I can't think of anything else.
[17:27] <beandog> One of those should have fixed it
[17:28] <tankcr> I am trying to add a cpu in xconfig
[17:28] <LmAt> beandog: What if it is different for other users?
[17:28] <beandog> LmAt: is it?
[17:29] <resno> tankcr: theres a kernel dev chat somewhere out there
[17:29] <tankcr> yup, not a single person chatting in it lol
[17:29] <LmAt> beandog: I don't know, I'll have to switch users (which I've never done)...brb
[17:29] <beandog> LmAt: Oh it's easy
[17:29] <beandog> LmAt: sudo su - newuser
[17:30] <tankcr> was hoping someone might be in here since no one is in there

[17:34] <MrSexyPants> Is there a place where I could download and install all of WIndows 7 default fonts?
[17:35] <rangergord> hi
[17:35] <Dr_willis> MrSexyPants,  theres the msttcorefonts package i belive that gets most of the ms fonts
[17:35] <rangergord> I know it's not very productive but I just wanted to say, after jumping from 10.04 to 12.04, that it's the most annoying desktop OS I've ever had the displeasure to use.
[17:35] <Dr_willis> but later fonts i think MS licensed diffently
[17:36] <Dr_willis> rangergord,  i find 12.04 a vast improvement...
[17:36] <resno> rangergord: if you knew it wasnt productive why do it?
[17:36] <MrSexyPants> Dr_willis, Would copying fonts from Windows 7 work on Ubuntu?
[17:36] <Dr_willis> MrSexyPants,  thats an easy way to get them. Put them in your .fonts directory
[17:36] <rangergord> resno: I didn't know. I thought "oh hey, new LTS, they must have had time to fix issues the people were complaining about"
[17:36] <Dr_willis> MrSexyPants,  i make a .fonts dir. put them in there. then link them to  be synced by my ubuntu one account. ;)
[17:36] <madprog> hello
[17:36] <resno> rangergord: whyd you say it here, not whyd you install it
[17:37] <rangergord> I can't even figure out how to show the contents of a directory in a list (rather than thumbnails) without googling for it. And I'm a power user.
[17:37] <Dr_willis> People complain about everything.. doesnet matter what they have..
[17:37] <MrSexyPants> Dr_willis, Cool. Will try that.
[17:37] <rangergord> resno: to give feedback?
[17:37] <Dr_willis> directory in a list? same as its always been in nautilus...
[17:37] <resno> rangergord: wrong place for feedback
[17:37] <resno> rangergord: blurting out feedback in a support chat?
[17:37] <LmAt> I found http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Gldt.svg
[17:37] <Dr_willis> Changes to Nautilus are actually from the Gnome-Devs not the Ubuntu devs..
[17:37] <rangergord> Dr_willis: BS, considering I did it all the time with 10.04 Nautilus, and I can't figure out where to show the option here.
[17:38] <LmAt> Is it fair to say that each branch adds something to its root (or parent)?
[17:38] <oscar> Hi, I've just install OpenXenManager and had to make my own OpenXenManager.desktop, that's fine. I can start OXM from launcher but it does not indicate it's running so I can't switch to it, just start another instance. Am I missing something in my .desktop file?
[17:38] <Dr_willis> View -> list is hard to find?
[17:38] <LmAt> In other words, the general rule is that things aren't removed or changed (much), but generally added?
[17:38] <MrSexyPants> XFS file system is by far the fastest in my testings. What do you think?
[17:38] <MrKeuner> how can I change a remote box's preference (no gui access) to install security updates automatically?
[17:38] <cristian_c> Dr_Willis, I've not understood which --set-prop is related to pinch really in http://askubuntu.com/questions/11300/how-do-i-test-multi-gesture-capabilities-of-a-touchpad :(
[17:39] <Dr_willis> cristian_c,  ive no idea. i just searched the site to find somthing that seemed related.
[17:39] <Dr_willis> cristian_c,  check around on askubuntu.com you may find a better answer.
[17:40] <xxxxx> ciao
[17:40] <llutz> MrKeuner: you don't want to install anything automatically. install apticron or something like that to inform you about updates and do it manually then...
[17:40] <cristian_c> Dr_willis, I looked for, but I didn't understood how can I solve
[17:40] <MrKeuner> llutz, even the security updates?
[17:40] <cristian_c> *didn't understand
[17:41] <llutz> MrKeuner: just my experience, better to have a look before installation
[17:41] <beandog> llutz: apticron?  Must check out.
[17:41] <madprog> I've installed ubuntu (11.10) on lvm over cryptfs over raid1 partitions. I think that my setup is correct, but I keep ending in the initramfs prompt. The root= kernel parameter is UUID=<uuid of the root partition>, and lvm partitions are visible when i run blkid, or ls /dev/mapper, in the initramfs prompt. How can I see what is wrong? Any hint?
[17:41] <MrKeuner> beandog, there is also logwatch
[17:41] <llutz> MrKeuner: and manually updating several machines is easy by using cssh
[17:41] <beandog> oh?
[17:41]  * beandog lookie
[17:42] <Dr_willis> Logwatch is a neat little tool.
[17:42] <Dr_willis> shows all these kiddies trying to get into my ssh servers. :)
[17:42] <beandog> Oh, that?
[17:42] <sk1special> anyone know if its possible to control the compiz cube via kinect?
[17:42] <MrKeuner> llutz, I must go into puppet at some point, that would be the eventual solution
[17:42] <beandog> I'm not worried about SSH.  pubkey access only + AllowGroups ftw
[17:42] <beandog> or AllowUsers if you prefer.
[17:43]  * beandog blathers
[17:43] <cristian_c> Dr_willis, I'll try to ask how can I use that link
[17:43] <MrKeuner> Dr_willis, I would call them botnets
[17:43] <Dr_willis> MrKeuner,  actually i think its people on irc that see me and my ip. ;)
[17:44] <Dr_willis> dont seemt o get as many hits when im not on irc
[17:44] <llutz> Dr_willis: zombies even, wherever they come from :)
[17:45] <MrKeuner> llutz, what keeps you from applying a security update?
[17:45] <Dr_willis> Hmm. Logwatch shoes me what packages were upgraded. never noticed that befor.
[17:46] <llutz> MrKeuner: i like to check what packages are going to be updated, what packages they affect etc.
[17:47] <llutz> MrKeuner: and there had been updates breaking things in the past. i hope to avoid this
[17:47] <MrKeuner> llutz, I see. Usually I just go ahead and apply security updates, as well as regular package updates, haven't had a problem since I switched from Debian sid
[17:48] <MrKeuner> I have 6 boxes that are on and off at irregular times, so can't use cssh effectively
[17:48] <llutz> MrKeuner: well i'm running mostly debian machines (squeeze for server, sid at home), only on my netbook there's 12.04 working
[17:48] <DanielConvissor> hi. setting up a linode with 12.04.  calling "apt-get install iptables-persistent" produces http://pastebin.com/VAMQfXun
[17:48] <ikdebem> excuse me, where can i go to make some questions about my problems. can anyone answer me?
[17:48] <MrKeuner> llutz, all ubuntu lts
[17:48] <DanielConvissor> ikdebem: if they're ubuntu related, here :)
[17:48] <ikdebem> =D
[17:49] <ikdebem> can be about drivers, multi sound boards?
[17:49] <llutz> !details | ikdebem
[17:49] <MrKeuner> llutz, at my new job they use squeeze, I was thinking if I could switch it to sid, how stable is sid these days?
[17:49]  * Dr_willis wonders what a 'multi sound bord' is..
[17:49] <ikdebem> ok.
[17:50] <llutz> MrKeuner: sid is boring since a few years but i wouldn't use it in critical envs
[17:50] <MrKeuner> llutz, even testing has gnome 2.30 :(
[17:51] <llutz> MrKeuner: kde-user at home :) i guess we're drifting heavily into OT
[17:51] <ikdebem> I have 2 soundboards, my primary isnt work, but is onboard. And i need to discover how to make linux use my other one as primary one
[17:51] <MrKeuner> llutz, OT?
[17:51] <llutz> offtopic MrKeuner
[17:51] <MrKeuner> llutz, ah yes, sorry
[17:51] <eightieskhild> ubuntu 12.04 is f'd this morning anyclue why ?
[17:51] <eightieskhild> gnome 3 nolonger works
[17:51] <ikdebem> ubuntu 12.04 lst
[17:52] <eightieskhild> when will 12.042 be out?
[17:52] <MrKeuner> eightieskhild, three months
[17:52] <MrKeuner> eightieskhild, I believe
[17:52] <eightieskhild> MrKeuner, what do i do in the mean time
[17:52] <eightieskhild> i had to install cinnamon to get byt
[17:52] <ikdebem> how can i choose what will be my primary sound board?
[17:52] <MrKeuner> depends on your problem
[17:52] <eightieskhild> i can't stand unity
[17:52] <sk1special> do settings and currently installed progs carry over into the next versions?
[17:53] <MrKeuner> eightieskhild, think about ppas you have
[17:53] <eightieskhild> i even purged and reinstalled gnome
[17:53] <eightieskhild> MrKeuner, which ppas do you mean?
[17:54] <MrKeuner> ppas that you have added
[17:54] <eightieskhild> hold on
[17:54] <MrKeuner> they may be the culprit
[17:54] <madprog> I've installed ubuntu (11.10) on lvm over cryptfs over raid1 partitions. I think that my setup is correct, but I keep ending in the initramfs prompt. The root= kernel parameter is UUID=<uuid of the root partition>, and lvm partitions are visible when i run blkid, or ls /dev/mapper, in the initramfs prompt. How can I see what is wrong? Any hint?

[17:55] <eightieskhild> http://pastebin.com/VLxfwQYd
[17:56] <eightieskhild> MrKeuner, http://pastebin.com/VLxfwQYd can you send me a deafult sources.list
[17:56] <brij> @ppd
[17:57] <ikdebem> Someone can help me with my soundboard?
[17:58] <L3top> eightieskhild: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[17:58] <L3top> !details | ikdebem
[17:58] <eightieskhild> L3top, Thats where i made mine at.
[17:59] <L3top> if you are looking to find ppas that are not there ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[17:59] <L3top> eightieskhild: ^
[17:59] <MrKeuner> eightieskhild, appears like you can disable lines after 3rd party repos line. also check out the ones in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[18:00] <ikdebem> Well, i have the ubuntu 12.04 LTS and my sistem have no sound. I'm with 2 sound boards.
[18:00] <ikdebem> L3top can help me with it?
[18:00] <Dr_willis> purgeing and reinstalling will not fix an issuye with messed up user settings. You could test by making a new user eightieskhild  and see if the newly made has the same issue. If they do - that points to a system issue.. if a new user works.. that points to a user config issue.
[18:00] <MrKeuner> eightieskhild, I would disable all ppas, remove all packages that came with them, reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[18:00] <MrKeuner> ubuntu-desktop meta package i mean
[18:01] <L3top> ikdebem: type alsamixer
[18:01] <ikdebem> i did it
[18:01] <ikdebem> but my primary one, isnt work
[18:01] <ikdebem> and i need to tell the sistem what will be the primary soundboard
[18:02] <ikdebem> system*
[18:02] <L3top> press f6 or whatever it tells you to list cards
[18:02] <ikdebem> yes
[18:02] <L3top> make sure both are there firstly
[18:02] <ikdebem> but i cant make the one i want to be the primary
[18:03] <ikdebem> there i can only set the lvls that i want
[18:03] <ikdebem> i am
[18:03] <L3top> right... that should probably be done through settings...
[18:03] <ikdebem> the 2 are there
[18:03] <L3top> one second... I will ahve to look at ubu, I use kubu mostly
[18:03] <ikdebem> but the default on is my onboard, and this one isnt working
[18:04] <ikdebem> ill wait
[18:04] <darrenlooby> Hello all... I've just installed Ubuntu Server on my laptop - and it wont boot. It says "Error: out of disk" and "Grub rescue>"
[18:04] <huppensuhn> can I disable that crash reporter thing? it's detecting crashes all over the place. even with programs that seem to work perfectly fine.
[18:05] <bibi23> L3top: I've made it! Finally I found this one : https://launchpad.net/~fabianarias/+archive/php5 , I'll keep an eye on the official repo and switch back once updated, thanks for your help ;)
[18:07] <mafiaboy> correct me if i m wrong but i think for now 10.04 is more stable than 12.04
[18:07] <llutz> ikdebem: you checked http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/asoundconf ?
[18:07] <L3top> glad you got it going bibi23 :)
[18:08] <llutz> ikdebem: sry haven't seen that theres no english version. run "asoundconf list "
[18:08] <ikdebem> i tried the asoundconf-gtk
[18:08] <ikdebem> but this isnt working too
[18:08] <L3top> I cant get to that machine right now ikdebem. Someone else will have to help you... it is booted to another OS and in use
[18:08] <qkslvrwolf> does anyone have any insite onthe difference between kernels in the minimal installer?
[18:09] <qkslvrwolf> or even insight?
[18:09] <ikdebem> ok l3top
[18:09] <ikdebem> tnks for help
[18:09] <mark___> jo
[18:09] <L3top> sorry I wasn't any :(
[18:09] <mrwappie> jo
[18:09] <llutz> ikdebem: try the commandline version, maybe this works. "asoundconf set-default-card yourcardwanted"
[18:09] <Birk_> I have a apache proxy server supporting a ruby web app. I need to know how much connections the apache is receiving. What command can I use to get this information ?
[18:09] <ikdebem> you try, it is a help ^
[18:09] <ikdebem> ^^
[18:10] <ikdebem> my system doest accept this command, he says "invalid command"
[18:10] <ikdebem> i tried to apt-get install this, but doest solve anything
[18:10] <llutz> ikdebem: seems to be removed from alsa-utils....
[18:11] <ikdebem> no
[18:11] <ikdebem> when i do the instasllation
[18:11] <ikdebem> he says "0 copy, 0 install"
[18:11] <ikdebem> like my system have it alrealy
[18:11] <ikdebem> ill do the command here
[18:12] <ikdebem> and tell you what he says
[18:12] <llutz> ikdebem: you have the package alsa-utils, but that packages doesn't contain "asoundconf" anymore
[18:12] <ikdebem> hmm
[18:13] <ikdebem> its a problem, every tutorial i found, say to use the alsa
[18:13] <ikdebem> asoundconf
[18:14] <ikdebem> is there a way to instal the asoundconf?
[18:15] <negone> Sorry to bother everyone, but I could use some one on one help with setting up ubuntu server 12.04
[18:15] <llutz> ikdebem: "sudo wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47786452/asoundconf -O /usr/local/bin/asoundconf  && sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/asoundconf  "  but be warned, this comes from unknown sources.
[18:16] <MrKeuner> if I edit resolv.conf will it be reset after next reboot?
[18:16] <llutz> MrKeuner: it will
[18:16] <ubuntu_> das
[18:16] <MrKeuner> llutz, can I change it permanently?
[18:16] <llutz> MrKeuner: edit your nm-connections or /etc/resolvconf/resolvconf.d/*
[18:16] <MrKeuner> llutz, thank you
[18:16] <ikdebem> no problem, im learning ^
[18:16] <ikdebem> ^^

[18:16] <ChocolateMInht> anybody have any idea>
[18:17] <negone> I am having a problem setting up the partitions
[18:18] <haxxpop> is AMD64 release usable only for AMD processor?
[18:18] <Biblioclasta> ChocolateMInht, did you try other desktop?
[18:18] <negone> I would be very greatfull if someone could lend me a hand
[18:18] <llutz> haxxpop: nope intel too
[18:18] <resno> haxxpop: no, 64bit cpu
[18:18]  * resno hands negone his hand
[18:18] <vlt> ChocolateMInht: Just for testing: rename your home dir and create a new empty one.
[18:19] <resno> negone: could you fully explain you issue?
[18:19]  * negone thanks resno

[18:21] <sanguisdex_home> what's uop with that?
[18:21] <eightieskhild> unity is a resource hog
[18:21] <resno> sanguisdex_home: different optimizations for power use
[18:21] <resno> or lack there of
[18:21] <smallfoot-> rules for Ubuntu repository is that it must be DFSG-approved license?
[18:22] <eightieskhild>  http://pastebin.com/A8A9dyQ9 with http://pastebin.com/9pKWwjxd anyone?
[18:22] <sanguisdex_home> resno: is there any ways around this?
[18:23] <resno> sanguisdex_home: going unity 2d maybe.
[18:23] <majuscule> Ubuntu is not detecting my second graphics card. How can I troubleshoot this?
[18:23] <Sheldon42> majuscule, What graphics card is it?  Which Ubuntu?
[18:26] <rodd> is it possible to update ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 lts from a cd?
[18:26] <ballroomblitz42> Now that support for Maverick has ended, I've got no choice but to upgrade.  Is there any way to do so without making major changes to the UI?
[18:27] <L3top> ballroomblitz42: not really.
[18:27] <mafiaboy> you have choice :ballroomblitz42
[18:27] <Sheldon42> ballroomblitz42, You mean alternatives to Unity?
[18:27] <L3top> I mean only that the UI is going to change, though it does not have to change as dramatically as unity.
[18:27] <raido> anyone know why the sun-java6-plugin seems to be suddenly disabled in Lucid?
[18:28] <akashm1990> Is there any alternative for the screen clipping function of Onenote?
[18:28] <ballroomblitz42> Can I keep GNOME?
[18:28] <akashm1990> (Ubuntu 12.04)
[18:28] <lorecaster> it's me again. after being hacked, it seems, last night, I did a complete reinstall. Not only can I not seem to activiate gnome3 (install went fine, logout, login with "GNOME" option spits me back into gnome2) but I can't seem to install additional monitor drivers! says error, check "/etc/logs/jockey.log" but I don't know what to look for
[18:28] <majuscule> Sheldon42: ubuntu 12.04 LTS minimal install, lspci | grep VGA gives "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Barts PRO [ATI Radeon HD 6800 Series]
[18:28] <L3top> gnome3 ballroomblitz42
[18:29] <majuscule> Sheldon42: the second graphics card is the same type
[18:29] <edgy> Hi, I installed ubuntu and then a lot of more software, how can I export all the software I have installed so that I can install it later with any new installation?
[18:29] <mafiaboy> yea u can use old ubuntu archives
[18:29] <akashm1990> or atleast an option to save screenshots to a folder automatically without the popup on pressing print screen
[18:29] <KM0201> lorecaster: you got "hacked"?
[18:29] <DanielConvissor> for the record...  iptables-persistent install has a bug when saving the settings.  if choosing the option to not save the settings, it runs fine.  reproducable.
[18:29] <mafiaboy> and still use apt-get
[18:29] <Sheldon42> majuscule, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[18:29] <mafiaboy> and still use apt-get
[18:29] <_raven> RecordMyDesktop crashed while encoding - what kind of file format is this and how to encode it with ffmpeg for example?
[18:30] <lorecaster> I was out of town from 8am to 5pm, and came back my computer was entirely displaying mandrin chinese. found out that over 200 terminal entries took place while I was away.
[18:30] <ballroomblitz42> L3top: so gnome2 is gone?
[18:30] <smallfoot-> is spyware allowed in multiverse and restricted?
[18:30] <BlouBlou> gnome2 is totally dead
[18:30] <Sheldon42> edgy, You can do that if you upgrade distros.  Not aware of any software that does it on new installations.
[18:31] <lorecaster> but what's really perplexing is that gnome3 won't work I ran "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" and it all went fine. I log out, select "gnome" and it spits me back into classic gnome 2
[18:31] <KM0201> smallfoot-: lol
[18:31] <ubuntu_> milen8204, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[18:31] <edgy> Sheldon42: it's not that difficult, I can launch the package manager, then export the packages, or even do dpkg -l
[18:32] <majuscule> Sheldon42: am i obtuse? I see nothing on that page about how to configure a second card
[18:32] <smallfoot-> KM0201, in main and universe, everything must be open-source. in mulitverse and restricted, there are any rules? it can be spyware in there too?
[18:32] <ServerCrash> hi when i play movie on ubuntu, using vlc player or mplayer, i see a constant rise in memory
[18:32] <ServerCrash> ussage
[18:32] <Sheldon42> edgy, Great. What's the problem then?
[18:32] <lorecaster> I will return, need to reboot and (hopefully) fix my nvidia drivers. won't be long.
[18:32] <L3top> majuscule: lspci | grep VGA
[18:32] <ServerCrash> looks like dbus-daemon keeps eating memory
[18:32] <ServerCrash> any solution to overcome this
[18:32] <L3top> How many lines does that produce?
[18:33] <c__> hello word
[18:33] <edgy> Sheldon42: it would export all dependencies, too, which could change in the future
[18:33] <ballroomblitz42> I'm surprised it hasn't forked... both gnome3 and unity kinda feel like a padded cell...  Although I guess this is an ancient topic by now.  Where have the gnome2 users gone? LXDE? XFCE?
[18:33] <wwd> ServerCrash:  does it rise until the system halts or what
[18:33] <Erthe> Good afternoon.
[18:33] <smallfoot-> :)
[18:34] <Sheldon42> majuscule, If you have two graphics cards -- both the same manufacturer and model, then I don't think you need to install the same drivers twice.
[18:34] <c__> it's night here
[18:34] <Teligard> Hi all
[18:34] <Sheldon42> ballroomblitz42, There are plenty of distros still using (and will continue to for the next five years) Gnome 2.
[18:34] <ServerCrash> wwd, system doesnt hang, but it keeps rising and uses up 99% memory or more
[18:34] <majuscule> Sheldon42: I wouldn't think so either! and yet I cannot seem to use the monitor attached to the second card
[18:34] <Erthe> I'm trying to do an apt-get upgrade on a server but have found something strange.  In /etc/apt/sources.list.d and /etc/apt/lists I'm finding a lot of references to karmic and the distribution is hardy
[18:35] <ServerCrash> wwd, leaving aside just 100mb or so
[18:35] <Erthe> How do I determine if packages were installed from karmic?
[18:35] <ServerCrash> wwd, out of 4gb or 8gb
[18:35] <wwd> how much memory does the system see? cat /proc/meminfo
[18:35] <Lunar_Lander> hello
[18:35] <Lunar_Lander> just a short message
[18:35] <Teligard> Anyone familiar with building and installing ubuntu (besides the kernel) from source?
[18:35] <Lunar_Lander> I now have 12.04 installed and it is GOOD!
[18:35] <Lunar_Lander> :D
[18:35] <Lunar_Lander> thanks

[18:36] <Teligard> I'm trying to refine my system to be a bit slimmer and meanr
[18:36] <Teligard> meaner
[18:36] <ballroomblitz42> =S  is there a way to selectively upgrade, keeping gnome2?  can I just change my sources.list and update the packages I already have?
[18:36] <huppensuhn> can I disable that crash reporter thing? it's detecting crashes all over the place. even with programs that seem to work perfectly fine.
[18:36] <L3top> majuscule: lspci | grep VGA | wc -l
[18:36] <L3top> what is the number there
[18:36] <moah> hello #ubuntu, i have the following problem: I startred an app with Alt+F2 (aterm, it appeared in the launcher with a question mark icon), i then removed this question mark from the launcher. now the app is still running, but after I minimized it, it didnt reappear in the launcher. how can i get it back?
[18:37] <Erthe> Can anyone tell me how I can determine what packages were installed from which package repository vs. another?
[18:37] <Teligard> When I even start up the mini, it loads a bunch of items I want to start building from scratch
[18:37] <BeWilled> is there a way to keep my linux aliases in the cloud? im tired of loosing them, and re writing them every time!
[18:38] <anno_> Hi there. At the moment I try to create a package for ubuntu package system. A deb file. What I try is to create a executable file including its libraries. But I get an error message during this process. dpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn't find library libmylib.so.0 needed by debian/myproject/usr/bin/myproject (ELF format: 'elf32-i386'; RPATH: '').    So after every lib and the executable file is created this happens and the package can't
[18:38] <anno_>  be built.
[18:38] <llutz> Teligard: better to use a distro being designed for that, like gentoo, than a binary-based like *buntu, where you won't get any help in solving dependencies on sources
[18:39] <domino14> what does ^@ mean at teh end of a line in emacs?
[18:39] <raido> Firefox and Chrome both no longer recognize that the sun-java6-plugin is installed on Lucid. Any ideas?
[18:39] <Teligard> moah: Have you tried restarting it (ps ux | grep <app>, then find the associated process id, kill the process, and restart it)?
[18:40] <rektide2> what was the first "Brown" release of Ubuntu
[18:40] <jiffe98> anyone installed over iscsi before?  I can erase a disk and tcpdump shows traffic flying by, but if I try to install to it, tcpdump shows a couple packets every 5 seconds or so and its been sitting at 33% which is where it started for the past hour
[18:40] <Sheldon42> rektide2, I think it happened in Mark Shuttleworth's toilet.
[18:40] <moah> Teligard: the problem is, no, but i dont want to kill it, becuase I have a process runing in there. I just want it to reappear, but it minimized into... nothing.
[18:41] <rektide2> oooohhh zing! Sheldon420, a round of applause everyone
[18:41] <moah> is there some other way to access running windows other than the launcher?
[18:41] <Teligard> llutz: I'm running freebsd right now, but xbmc is really tailored to ubuntu
[18:41] <vlt> moah: Alt+Tab
[18:41] <moah> vlt: : Alt+Tab doesnt work, the app is not in the list.
[18:41] <Teligard> moah: I don't know.  I'm sorry :(
[18:42] <moah> hmm, this is a serious bug, is somebody from the unity team around to fix this? windows shouldnt disappear into nothing when minimized.
[18:43] <mneptok> moah: bug reports go to Launchpad, not IRC.
[18:43] <domino14> does anyone know what those ^M ^@ etc characters mean?
[18:43] <domino14> i cant even google them
[18:43] <domino14> stupid google
[18:43] <Sheldon42> moah, Search the launchpad database to check if it's already been reported.  If not, file a bug report there.
[18:43] <L3top> moah: superkey tab I beleive...
[18:43] <trism> domino14: ^M is carriage return
[18:44] <Erthe> Can anyone give me a little assistance on a system maintenance matter?
[18:44] <domino14> ok what is ^@?
[18:44] <L3top> domino14: ^M is a carriage return in a microsoft text format... like something created with notepad
[18:44] <gamegeek> hello i was here yesterday, im trying to instal ybunto asa dual boot on one of my 2 machines and i cant get it to work, one is a core2dua imac the other a i7runing win7
[18:44] <gd_> hi all, can someone please tell me how to configure daemons/services in ubuntu 12.4. i was used to use /etc/rc2.c (remoe add links) but it seems that not all services run are located there e.g. bluetooth ...
[18:44] <domino14> i just want to know what ^@ is
[18:44] <ChocolateMInht> vlt: I tried renaming my user directory and it didn't help
[18:44] <Erthe> I have an installation of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid) whose sources list contains references to Karmic
[18:45] <L3top> tab? I don't remember.
[18:45] <ChocolateMInht> Biblioclasta: i'm not sure I understand what you mean in regards to the other desktop
[18:45] <Teligard> gamegeek: what issues are you running into?
[18:45] <Erthe> I'm trying to figure out if there were packages installed from Karmic sources or not
[18:45] <moah> mneptok: I dont want to register with launchpad, if you dont care about bug reports from people who dont want to register, than say that. this is a bug report, and if I dont find a way to retrieve windows which disappear into nothing, im deinstalling unity.
[18:46] <domino14> ok, ^@ is the null character, i found it
[18:46] <ballroomblitz42> clicking "upgrade" feels like suicide.
[18:46] <vlt> ChocolateMInht: Then I don’t know. You created a new empty home dir with the correct owner and permissions?
[18:46] <mneptok> moah: it's not my decision. and really, it's fine with me if you use whatever works for you.
[18:46] <gamegeek> on my i7 wen isntaling the screen freezes and my mous is glitched, on imac i get to the cd instal fuction but after that its black screen
[18:46] <ChocolateMInht> vlt: yeah
[18:47] <Sheldon42> moah, Feel free to remove Ubuntu.  Nobody's forcing you to use it.  Linux is a community, everyone helps everyone else.  You're not doing anybody any favors by using Linux or not.  By all means, if you have this attitude, remove it.
[18:47] <gd_> anyone any int how to configure services on the shell?
[18:47] <genii-around> !info dos2unix | domino14
[18:48] <moah> Sheldon42: i'm trying to help right now by reporting a serious bug (windows disappear into nothing when minimized and cant be reactivated), but I'm being told that my help will only be considered when I register with launchpad first. I dont want to do that.
[18:48] <gamegeek> the only thing i want to do is dualboot but it seems to be a big issue to handle and documentation is lacking if somthing isnt doing anything
[18:49] <vlt> moah: Then don’t do it.
[18:49] <L3top> Erthe: there are some complicated aptitude commands that will tell you what is installed from the repo, but in synaptic you should be able to filter packages by their origin
[18:49] <moah> why is the ubuntu community so hostile to newcommers?
[18:49] <Sheldon42> moah, If you don't want to provide your real email, then create a disposable one.  It's important to register to keep track of progress of bugs, and to prevent flooding or spamming.
[18:49] <Erthe> L3top, Is there a good reason why the sources list would contain references to Karmic as well as Lucid?
[18:49] <domino14> it's not just ubuntu, it's been like this for 15 years
[18:50] <L3top> Erthe: is this a project install?
[18:50] <bluesnow> Hi, I'm a little confused about how Ubuntu's file system/installation works. I just searched my file system for Python 2.7 and found folders named python 2.7 everywhere.
[18:50] <gamegeek> for mac i instaled rEFIt but it dousnt do anything wen i releunch my machene
[18:50] <moah> okay, if you dont want a bug report, good bye then, I wont bother next time.
[18:50] <Erthe> It was an image, Rackspace
[18:50] <Erthe> But installed as 10.04 LTS
[18:50] <mongy> moah, I'd personally use compizconfig-settings-manager (careful, it might break your unity if you use it wrong) and use the shift-switcher plugin with alt+tab or even a mouse gesture with the scale plugin., plus you can enable the showing of minimised windows in the 'workarounds' options.
[18:50] <Erthe> The other sources, I would imagine, were added manually
[18:50] <Teligard> gamegeek: When you go through the installer, it should ask you if you wnt to set ubuntu up in a different partition.
[18:51] <L3top> for a time our project had a karmic source for a specific package Erthe. I am sure figuring out what came from there will give you more clues.
[18:51] <Sheldon42> I love how some people have such an entitlement attitude, like moah.  Ubuntu or the community doesn't owe you anything.  You're not doing us a favor by using Ubuntu or by filing a bug report.  A little humility and patience goes a long way.
[18:51] <Teligard> gamegeek: and, at the end, it will mention installing grub, which is the bootloader that wil id win7
[18:51] <Foxhoundz> Ubuntu
[18:51] <Foxhoundz> I have a question
[18:51] <bluesnow> How do I figure out which of the python 2.7 folders to use or put libraries in?
[18:51] <Foxhoundz> why doesn't Ubuntu save the laptop brightness level for next logon
[18:51] <Erthe> L3top, Thanks for your assistance!
[18:51] <gamegeek> Teligard i dint get any of this
[18:51] <Teligard> gamegeek: On the mac side, I can't answer, only the windows side
[18:51] <Foxhoundz> Right now I'm having to use xbacklight to progmatically set the backlight level
[18:52] <gamegeek> on windows i did the wubi.exe mlultyple times
[18:52] <Teligard> gamegeek: Strange, because I multiboot 4 seperate OS's w/o issue
[18:52] <gamegeek> booting isnt the iseu on windows machine
[18:53] <Pici> bluesnow: You may want to take a look at the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview as well as http://docs.python.org/install/index.html which will describe how python's directory architecture is structured.
[18:53] <Teligard> gamegeek: What's the issue on the win box?
[18:53] <gamegeek> its then wen im in ubuto os instaling the rest of the os it freezes or if it gets done it frezes where i have to put in my password
[18:53] <bluesnow> Pici: thanks
[18:53] <gamegeek> ^^
[18:54] <Teligard> gamegeek: Then I dont' really have answers for yo.  I'm sorry
[18:54] <gamegeek> i made a video of one of my atampts
[18:54] <gamegeek> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKgCtZo1m7I&list=UUcIT1NQZAbOwTKZEHmrkJfw&index=1&feature=plcp
[18:54] <Pici> bluesnow: For the most part, you should be installing python modules through packages available in our repositories. But pip or easy_install or manual via distutils would be the next course of action.
[18:55] <gd_> ok, i rephrase my question. can someone tell me why /usr/sbin/bluetoothd is started even i do not find it in my rc2.d folder?
[18:56] <gd_> sysv-rc-conf also does not mark bluetooth as enabled service.
[18:56] <bluesnow> Pici: I also have Python 3 and 2.5 on my file system. Would I need to remove those if I want auto-installs to work correctly? (I want to put stuff in the right place for my 2.7 interpreter)
[18:56] <gamegeek> Teligard u know what the problem might be
[18:56] <Pici> bluesnow: No, you don't need to remove them.
[18:56] <Teligard> gamegeek: what?
[18:56] <gamegeek> du u know?
[18:57] <gd_> only noobs here?
[18:57] <Teligard> gamegeek: I don't
[18:57] <Pici> gd_: Ubuntu uses upstart. So, check /etc/init/ for a matching .conf file.
[18:57] <Teligard> gamegeek: Not a problem I've encountered
[18:57] <gd_> Pici thnx i grep
[18:57] <bluesnow> Pici: Auto-installs will just go into the right folder for Python 2.7? Do they go into the 2.7/site-packages folder? Trying to figure out how I would find the libraries later if I needed to look at them.
[18:57] <gamegeek> i realy dont know what to do anymore and even on both machines
[18:58] <Pici> bluesnow: Generally, yes.
[18:59] <Orpheon> so yeah, where could I find some 32-bit opengl installation?
[18:59] <gamegeek> can plz someon explain what the problem might be with it or even know a solution http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKgCtZo1m7I
[19:00] <Orpheon> in other words, why can't wine find opengl, even though it's installed?
[19:00] <belgianguy> anyone know where I can get general help on makefiles?
[19:00] <bluesnow> Pici: okay, thanks
[19:01] <tankcr> hey all, I need a decent editor with line numbers
[19:01] <Pici> bluesnow: actually, sorry, you'd look in /usr/share/pyshared/ or /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages
[19:02] <Orpheon> tankr: For python, nothing beats Komodo edit
[19:02] <tankcr> cool thanks
[19:03] <bluesnow> Pici: oh okay, thanks. Python's directory naming is different on Linux than Windows then?
[19:03] <m15k> Hi where are the deactivated ppas listed?
[19:03] <Pici> bluesnow: Not just naming, but different Linux distros choose how they will distribute python packages and where they will install.
[19:05] <bluesnow> Pici: ah okay, thanks. Is there a command I can use to uninstall all versions of Python on my file system, so I can do a clean install of only 2.7?
[19:06] <smallfoot-> bluesnow, know that upcoming Ubuntu 12.10 will come with Python 3 default and wont come with Python 2 installed
[19:06] <Pici> bluesnow: different python versions can be installed at the same time. There is no reason why you should need to uninstall them.  Additionally, many of the core Ubuntu packages depend on python to run.

[19:36] <bxnub> theadmin: yes, and I don't know what that means :p
[19:36] <BeWilled> any alternatives for sharking mouse and keyboard to synergy in windows?
[19:36] <theadmin> bxnub: The latter one? It means "did you run 'sudo apt-get update'?"
[19:36] <BeWilled> and ubuntu obviously
[19:37] <bxnub> theadmin: yes, many times :P
[19:37] <theadmin> bxnub: Well, there is no official support for any third-party repositories. Try removing them first, fully upgrading your system, after which seeing if installation succeeds again.
[19:37] <bxnub> theadmin: why is there a rather large quantity of jaunty repositories on my hardy install?
[19:38] <theadmin> bxnub: I'm not sure, there shouldn't be any by default, and mixing releases *is* a bad idea

[19:47] <theadmin> cellardoor: sudo update-grub
[19:47] <cellardoor> theadmin, thank you!
[19:47] <theadmin> nownot: If you don't want insecurities caused by autologin, you can run xlock at login, which will still prompt for a password, yet allow your remote desktop thingo to start so you can use it.
[19:49] <texas319> Hey all
[19:49] <texas319> in /etc/network/interfaces whats the  code to add dns servers?
[19:50] <ham1> hello, how do I start lxde via terminal
[19:50] <texas319> i am using 10.04 and cant set a static IP with the gui
[19:50] <theadmin> ham1: "startlxde".
[19:51] <ham1> theadmin thanks, I was using a space
[19:51] <avid_fan> texas319: don't know you can do that in /etc/network/interfaces
[19:52] <texas319> thats what google says :-
[19:52] <texas319> for some reason it just doesnt take static IP from the Network Manager Applet
[19:52] <avid_fan> texas319: that's not what my man page says. i can't see a reference to dns servers in any of it.
[19:53] <avid_fan> when i set a static ip i add nameserver entries in /etc/resolv.conf
[19:54] <JessicaW> looking for a good on the fly disk imaging solution
[19:54] <cellardoor> theadmin, I have a gentoo system on another drive I want to boot into, using the GRUB that Ubuntu provides. How would I go about this? The kernel is in /boot/ on the gentoo drive waiting.
[19:54] <texas319> @JessicaW - FOg Deployment
[19:54] <JessicaW> texas319: thanks. I'll look into it.
[19:54] <theadmin> cellardoor: Since Ubuntu uses Grub2, I have no real idea -- I'm not into that
[19:55] <avid_fan> texas319: np
[19:55] <texas319> ahhhh
[19:55] <theadmin> cellardoor: The configs are in /etc/grub.d/ and /etc/default/grub -- since you're a Gentoo user you might figure it out :D
[19:55] <nownot> theadmin: thank, juste setup autologin but will look into xlock
[19:56] <JessicaW> ahhhh. I should clarify. Looking for a good on the fly disk imaging solution to backup ubuntu server.
[19:56] <texas319> Ahhh
[19:58] <resno> i'm attempting to update my video drive, and this is the error jockey is giving me http://dpaste.com/749983/
[20:00] <alusion> How can I get ubuntu to recognize my webcam
[20:00] <texas319> avid_fan what do the mean by broadcast and network?
[20:00] <sirriffsalot> How do I check if I actually have a decent nvidia driver installed?
[20:00] <texas319> in interfaces
[20:01] <avid_fan> texas319: that would depend on you IP address scheme.
[20:01] <avid_fan> For a typical class-c, <IP_ADDRESS>/24, network = <IP_ADDRESS>, broadcast = <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:01] <texas319> ubuntu is in a vm and i am bridging it to its own windows nic
[20:02] <avid_fan> texas319: but typically those aren't necessary. address, netmask, and gateway should be all you NEED to get it to work.
[20:02] <texas319> thats what I thought
[20:02] <ajf> How do I get up-to-date OpenGL headers?
[20:03] <resno> i'm attempting to update my video drive, and this is the error jockey is giving me http://dpaste.com/749983/
[20:05] <nikitakit> I've been getting constant popups about 'System errors'. Looks like I a gpu hangup is the problem: I have to restart my computer every time I launch Google Earth. Apport collects data for a bug report, but it never actually forwards me to launchpad.
[20:06] <FloridaGuy> for ubuntu is it better to have a seperit /boot partition ?
[20:07] <loculinux> hola hay alguien de mèxico?
[20:07] <theadmin> FloridaGuy: Not necessary at all. Only if you want to
[20:07] <mongy> FloridaGuy, only really needed if you have encrypted partitions.
[20:08] <theadmin> mongy: Or if you use an old bootloader but want a modern filesystem on your / (e.g. grub1 has no official support for ext4, so I'd make an ext2 /boot and a ext4 /, then again -- Ubuntu has patched it to fix the problem)
[20:08] <FloridaGuy> theadmin, mongy, ok thanks just woundered
[20:09] <celord> hello all, I have two gateways one in eth0 and one in wlan0, eth0 has browsing restrictions and wlan0 no, have anydbody acomplished any kind of routing to deal with somenting like this
[20:10] <BLeg> Ive installed Ubuntu server with Gnome which starts by default. My system runs the UI extremely slowly, is it possible to revert back to commandline only until I can upgrade my hardware?
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> BLeg: add the boot option:  text
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> BLeg: why not just install the desktop OS?
[20:11] <BLeg> It's for an internal test server at my workplace
[20:11] <BLeg> I needed a LAMP install
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> BLeg: you can install LAMP without the desktop...
[20:11] <Kakkin> Como se usa esta vara?
[20:11] <theadmin> BLeg: I suggest you use XFCE or LXDE (or if you want to go wild, openbox, awesome, i3, ...) rather than the heavy Gnome
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> or just use openbox without DE :)
[20:12] <Kakkin> como lo pongo en español?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> !es
[20:12] <BLeg> This is the first time I've even seen Linux
[20:13] <BLeg> I have no idea what those are... I just want to get back to the command line lol
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> BLeg: add the boot option:  text    and the desktop won't load. In future if you want a desktop OS, install the desktop OS
[20:14] <BLeg> I dont know where to add it
[20:14] <BLeg> and ill keep that in mind -.-
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> BLeg: run:   gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub     find this line:  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"    and change it to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash text"   save the new file and run:   sudo update-grub
[20:14] <BLeg> thanks
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> BLeg: nobody is born knowing either, guess how we found out....
[20:15] <niftylettuce> can anyone help me downgrade my libgl driver? https://gist.github.com/2daa145ae2842f4f780d -- im getting that err output
[20:15] <prayingprince> hey guys. i'm having proble getting the windows ubuntu installer to run.  i download it double click, I get a spinning mouse then nothing. Where can I find the error logs?
[20:15] <BLeg> same way I did: asking questions and reading tutorials
[20:15] <theadmin> niftylettuce: Downgrading anything is not supported here.
[20:15] <vlt> yeats: Thank you. I found out that I could `aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop; aptitude -r install ubuntu-desktop` and then it fetches the recommended apckages as well.
[20:15] <niftylettuce> lol
[20:15] <theadmin> prayingprince: You have to run it as admin, just saying, also it's an awful idea to use
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> BLeg: indeed, tutorials all over dude ;)
[20:16] <prayingprince> easier to just boot from usb?
[20:16] <niftylettuce> theadmin: i think the latest update to libgl mesa is causing issues with chrome rendering and crash dump errs
[20:16] <prayingprince> install* from usb?
[20:16] <BLeg> Just so happened that the tut I read told me to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ;)
[20:16] <theadmin> prayingprince: True.
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> prayingprince: wubi is ok as a try before you buy but as a long term solution it's not great
[20:17] <prayingprince> ok. can i partion my hd from the usb or should i partition it before I attempt to install 12.04 from usb?
[20:17] <theadmin> niftylettuce: huh... I wouldn't know, I use fglrx here myself, sorry. Either way, downgrading isn't supported here
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> prayingprince: which version of Windows are you using?
[20:17] <theadmin> prayingprince: Can do both ways
[20:17] <bandit5432> any one know which channel to join for gnome-color bugs or gnome-settings-daemon
[20:17] <vlt> BLeg: AFAIK, if you use apt-get instead of aptitude a lot of recommended packages will not be installed.
[20:18] <majuscule> What package provides notify-send? I've installed notify-osd
[20:18] <prayingprince> im using windows 7 ultimate
[20:18] <BLeg> my bad, I did user aptitude
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> prayingprince: you can resize your NTFS from disk manager in Windows7
[20:18] <BLeg> use*
[20:18] <prayingprince> think thats the easiest way to do it? ok thanks!
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> majuscule: libnotify-bin provides the file /usr/bin/notify-osd
[20:19] <bandit5432> majuscule, that one does but make sure that if you want notify-osd that you dont install Xfce4-notifyd becuase they conflict
[20:19] <theadmin> !find /usr/bin/notify-osd | majuscule
[20:19] <theadmin> Err
[20:19] <theadmin> !find /usr/bin/notify-send | majuscule
[20:19] <theadmin> There.
[20:19] <majuscule> ActionParsnip: thnak you
[20:19] <majuscule> ubottu: bandit5432 theadmin thanks
[20:19] <theadmin> majuscule: Next time you need to find where some file is, use the ubottu's !find command, or install apt-file
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: or:    dpkg -S notify-send     in terminal :)
[20:20] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: That only works if it's already installed, no?
[20:20] <majuscule> theadmin: i didn't need to know where it is, rather what package provides it. does apt-file give this information?
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> majuscule: or use http://packages.ubuntu.com
[20:20] <theadmin> majuscule: Yeah, that's what I meant, what package provides what file
[20:20] <donj_> yo can anyone help me get autologin setup for lubuntu?
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: yes but it's in a default ubuntu install, so you'll have it
[20:21] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: I wouldn't, the person asking doesn't have it either, apparently.
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> donj_: gksudo leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> donj_: add the line:    autologin-user=yourusername
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> donj_: and add:     user-session=lubuntu
[20:23] <donj_> k added it gonna log out to test
[20:23] <donj_> I have one more issue that needs attention if you could help with as well
[20:24] <daveo> what's the easiest way to set up a download for a certain time? say 2 a.m. in the morning?
[20:24] <niftylettuce> AN ALARM CLOCK
[20:24] <pvh_sa> hey there since i upgraded recently my openvpn based vpn is greyed out in network manager. any ideas (this is on 12.04)?
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> daveo: could use the 'at' command
[20:24] <niftylettuce> :D
[20:24] <goolala> multiple commands within pre-start script does not work?
[20:24] <daveo> ActionParsnip, i'll check that out, thanks
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> daveo: see the bottom of the page here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV
[20:25] <Dead_AssClown> hey i downloaded ubuntu
[20:26] <Dead_AssClown> very cool
[20:26] <Dead_AssClown> but my wireless internet isnt working
[20:27] <prayingprince> One more question.  I'm installing 12.04 because I find programming and running code much easier in ubuntu.  What is a normal partition size?  My main OS will bein win7
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Dead_AssClown: what wifi chip do you use?
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> prayingprince: anything more than 12Gb is fine (including swap)
[20:28] <prayingprince> ActionParsnip:  Thanks!
[20:30] <leo> .
[20:32] <leo> ..
[20:32] <leo> ...
[20:32] <leo> ....
[20:32] <L3top> leo stop that
[20:32] <leo> ok, sorry
[20:32] <exalt> hello im installing ubuntu on an empty system with uefi support, i formatted te disk with a seperate efi boot partition of 150 mb but still every time i try to boot i get this boot mgr missing warning
[20:33] <exalt> anyone know what my problem is ?
[20:33] <gamegeek> hello iit took me 2 days but i finaly got a version of ubuntu to not cras on instal, but im in a comand line,how do i start the visual os
[20:33] <_raven> very special need: how to make a video of a peakmeter (audio visualizer-plugin) of an audio file?
[20:34] <theadmin> exalt: Er, bootmgr sounds like a Windows thing
[20:34] <beandog> gamegeek: service gdm start
[20:34] <leo> gamegeek, you probably need a DE
[20:34] <gamegeek> de?
[20:34] <exalt> theadmin: there is no windows as i said, i guess its some bios thing
[20:34] <theadmin> beandog: That won't work on recent releases, Ubuntu uses lightdm since Oneiric
[20:34] <donj_> I has black screen on my Lubuntu box after adding that auto login line =x
[20:35] <leo> Desktop Enviroment
[20:35] <leo> like gnome, unity
[20:35] <beandog> theadmin: how recent
[20:35] <gamegeek> plz help me out, im finalyu got a version up i think its called lubuntu
[20:35] <wilee-nilee> exalt, you might start a thread on the ubuntu forums.
[20:35] <theadmin> beandog: Oneiric and Presice (11.10, 12.04)
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> donj_: then hold shift at boot and drop to root recovery mode and re-edit the file
[20:35] <theadmin> leo: Objection. Unity is not a desktop-environment, it's a shell for Gnome. Just so you know.
[20:36] <theadmin> s/sic/cis/
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: gdm is available in Precise, its just not default :)
[20:36] <donj_> What was the dir for the file again...?
[20:36] <wilee-nilee> exalt, as well, anyway I see helpers here that can probably get you fixed though, at least one anyway.
[20:36] <gamegeek> what do i do?
[20:37] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: I kinda figured, well, just saying that "sudo service gdm start" won't work with a default installation of Oneiric or Precise, which has to be correct.
[20:37] <exalt> wilee-nilee: wich one is that ? :p
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> donj_: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[20:37] <gamegeek> how do i start the os?
[20:37] <leo> gamegeek: sudo apt-get install ubuntu.desktop
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: oh absolutely
[20:37] <leo> sorry
[20:37] <leo> ubuntu-desktop
[20:37] <wilee-nilee> exalt, I can't really expose anyone lol, but a script run would be a greta help then posted in a paste bin check this bots link
[20:37] <BLeg> ActionParsnip: Thanks, finally got my cmd line back
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> gamegeek: the default behavior in Lubuntu is to load the logon manager
[20:37] <wilee-nilee> !bootinfo | exalt
[20:38] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: :)
[20:38] <go8765> ubuntuone client is on qt only??
[20:39] <_raven> very special need: how to make a video of a peakmeter (audio visualizer-plugin) of an audio file?
[20:39] <wilee-nilee> exalt, If you have any problems getting that script run let up know.
[20:39] <wilee-nilee> *us
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> !info | ubuntuone-client-gnome
[20:39] <beandog> _raven: dunno about making one, but you can find a few .. audacious has a plugin for it, ffplay does it by default, etc.
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> oops
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> !info ubuntuone-client-gnome | go8765
[20:40] <gamegeek> leo im instaling the desktop, what do i wen its finished?
[20:40] <leo> you play ;)
[20:40] <leo> you restart
[20:40] <leo> and then..
[20:40] <gamegeek> ok
[20:40] <_raven> beandog must be exactly from a special audio file. any way to use the visualizer-plugins of any audio player for any generator?
[20:41] <beandog> _raven: I'm not following you, and I'm not really audio-savvy either
[20:41] <Peri_> my comp hasn't been booting for the past week getting stuck on a black screen blinking a dashed line, anyone willing to help?
[20:41] <go8765> ActionParsnip: thks. in what way I can run it& what command, I mean
[20:41] <lelamal> Hi all, I'm trying to compile oxygen transparent from the script downloaded here: http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php?content=127752, but keep getting the following error in return: http://paste.kde.org/482000/. Can anybody help me troubleshoot this, please?
[20:42] <donj_> what do i use to edit the file while in recovery mode?
[20:42] <theadmin> donj_: nano, or The Editor, vim.
[20:42] <GG111> is there a way to bring the browser to front when I click link, instead of the icon of firefox just flashing on the sidebar , and having to switch to it manually ?
[20:43] <exalt> wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/994851/
[20:43] <stephthegeek> i'd like an encrypted folder in my home directory (but NOT encrypt the whole thing). what's the best way to do this?
[20:43] <alusion> Can I setup wireless security with webcams
[20:43] <bandit5432> any one have an idea where xorg crack pushers team hangs out ?
[20:43] <exalt> wilee-nilee: i need to reboot im back in a minute
[20:43] <avid_fan> stephthegeek: i use truecrypt
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> go8765: not something I use, sorry
[20:44] <wilee-nilee> exalt, col
[20:44] <wilee-nilee> *cool
[20:44] <stephthegeek> avid_fan, ah thanks, this is the one i looked at ages ago... reading up on it now
[20:45] <avid_fan> Actually I use it on almost all my flash/thumb drives. Anything someone else can get a hold of.
[20:45] <Peri_> i clicked to install the update last week and it froze, after restarting I now i have a nonfunctional comp and a 0 on an essay i had done...
[20:46] <donj_> i cant make changes to the file because its in Read Only. Do i rename the modified file, delete the old one, then rename the new or is there a better way?
[20:46]  * wilee-nilee hands off the efi boot to the user on the forum who actually know this stuff.
[20:47] <Peri_> why did ubuntu break my comp with an update?
[20:47] <donj_> coz its not windows ._.
[20:48] <Peri_> at least windows doesn't pretend to be user friendly
[20:48] <donj_> It actually is right
[20:49] <CookieM> did you manipulate in update manager settings?
[20:49] <beandog> Peri_: don't quote me on this but doing a rescue install might fix it
[20:49] <theadmin> "windows" and "user-friendly" don't go together in the same sentence without a negation. -_- Anyway, this is offtopic
[20:49] <beandog> It's most likely a bad kernel
[20:49] <beandog> or some broken package install
[20:49] <Peri_> how?
[20:49] <beandog> or both
[20:49] <beandog> Peri_: just boot off the CD and go to install mode
[20:49] <beandog> I think it figures it out
[20:49] <beandog> maybe it doesn't
[20:49] <beandog> I'm not sure.
[20:49] <FloodBot1> beandog: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:50] <donj_> Admin how do I save the changes made to the Read Only file in Recovery mode =\
[20:50] <Peri_> i don't have a cd or a functional drive for one... is there anything else I can do
[20:50] <mongy> donj_,  mount read/write in recovery mode.
[20:50] <beandog> Yah, probably safe to ignore everything I said.  I dunno what hte best approach is.
[20:50] <theadmin> donj_: I think your filesystem is mounted read-only... Exit out of the editor, run: mount -o remount,rw /
[20:50] <CookieM> i had several big updates on 12.04 so far and it didn't broke up
[20:50] <theadmin> donj_: Then try again
[20:50] <beandog> Peri_: do you wanna fix your install or just get to your files
[20:50] <Peri_> fix install
[20:51] <beandog> k, then I'm not sure.
[20:51] <Peri_> i can access grub
[20:51] <DJAnonymousHack> bonjour
[20:52] <CookieM> bonjour
[20:52] <beandog> Peri_: did you try a different boot option?  rescue?  one of the older kernels?
[20:52] <Peri_> all of them rescue doesn't work
[20:52] <Peri_> only grub
[20:52] <Peri_> and i updated everything
[20:52] <Peri_> idn what to do
[20:52] <Peri_> can i type some command in grub that will fix it
[20:53] <beandog> Hmm.  Dunno.  Check the wiki or forums
[20:53] <beandog> there's gotta be a way to do a rescue install
[20:53] <beandog> The *good* thing though, is that all your user data is stored in /home
[20:54] <beandog> So even if your entire OS goes out to lunch, your preferences / data are all there.
[20:54] <Peri_> ok
[20:54] <donj_> yay it booted ;D
[20:54] <Peri_> rescue install erases all files?
[20:54] <donj_> Now hod do i get it to auto login <_<
[20:54] <beandog> Peri_: it'll reinstall the OS
[20:54] <beandog> I mean
[20:54] <beandog> You gotta tread carefully
[20:54] <beandog> Your best bet is to get a backup of your /home directory first.
[20:55] <Peri_> u can back it up thru grub?
[20:55] <beandog> No, boot off a USB or something
[20:55] <Peri_> ok
[20:56] <beandog> Actually hold on
[20:56] <beandog> If you wanna try and figure out where grub is dying, I can at least poke at it
[20:56] <beandog> If you want
[20:56] <Peri_> ok
[20:56] <DJAnonymousHack> bonjour es que on peus me dire comment sa marche se truc
[20:56] <beandog> First of all, which release are you on
[20:56] <Peri_> 11.10
[20:56] <beandog> Peri_: okay and how did it break?  just doing an upgrade that got interrupted?
[20:57] <donj_> <- Needs help with Autologin, Setting Static IP (network connection thing acting funny), and making a program run on startup
