[06:57] <mlitz> AxD09: Ah I will try that!
[06:58] <mlitz> AxD09: Worked perfect! Thanks a lot! :)
[06:58] <AxD09> mlitz: np
[06:58] <gaelfx> goodbye, #ubuntu
[06:58] <g0rby> Good morning,  could some one help me unbrick my system? :)
[06:58] <g0rby>  I was 1/2 way through a 12.04 upgrade from 11.04 It had got to the part where things were asking to be configured in a terminal and my power went down. Now when i reboot I get the error mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2) General error mounting filesystems. A maintainance shell will now be started
[06:59] <foolsh> beeju: also the desktop/gnome directory
[06:59] <alankila> g0rby: the command dpkg --configure -a is what you need
[06:59] <alankila> let's hope you can get that to execute
[06:59] <g0rby> cool, but i ifconfig lists nothing
[06:59] <g0rby> even though i have cable connection
[07:00] <alankila> forget about that, your first priority is to finish the upgrade
[07:00] <beeju> foolsh, I got the idea. To remove that window I need to click "three times" at top left  of it. Good idea!
[07:01] <sasori2501> hey all.  trying out 12.04. and really trying to give unity a go.  anyways, anyone know how to apply how the files in folders layout can be applied system wide??  the old way doesnt work ne more.
[07:02] <g0rby> alankila: thx for help, when i run that it winges about read only file system
[07:02] <alankila> g0rby: okay, mount / -o remount,rw then
[07:02] <g0rby> should i reboot to recovery mode then try it?
[07:02] <alankila> might also have to fsck it
[07:03] <g0rby> alankila: it runs now but then dies "errors were encountered processing:" (lots of packages)
[07:04] <g0rby> some pretty important ones
[07:04] <g0rby> like module-init-tools
[07:04] <alankila> g0rby: okay, try to run it a few times, if it makes no progress, try apt-get -f install
[07:04] <unique1> guys pls i need help with my ubuntu
[07:04] <g0rby> I see the package "mountall" which is present in the error message at boot, mabe try something with that?
[07:04] <alankila> the downside is that it might want something from network though, but the key here is to, one way or other, identify the problematic bits and force the upgrade to finish
[07:05] <unique1> when i download files and try to install them i get errors
[07:05] <alankila> the downloaded archives are at /var/cache/apt/archives, so you can also try dpkg -i them directly
[07:05] <unique1> or even how to run my installed files
[07:05] <sre> unique1, which files ?
[07:05] <unique1> what command to use
[07:05] <unique1> i downloaded termsaver
[07:05] <unique1> and installed it
[07:05] <unique1> but dunno which command to run it
[07:06] <unique1> btw termsaver is a terminal
[07:06] <nibbler_> unique1, dpkg -L $packagename shows you the content of any package
[07:07] <sasori2501> anyone know how to apply how the files in folders layout can be applied system wide??  the old way doesnt work ne more.
[07:07] <sre> unique1, open a terminal and run termsaver
[07:07] <g0rby> alankila: cool, think we are getting there with apt-get install -f lots of shizz happening
[07:08] <unique1> sre when i open terminal, which command to use to run the teamsaver?
[07:08] <alankila> g0rby: yes... alternate between these commands, then do apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:08] <sre> unique1, termsaver
[07:08] <alankila> with luck you will reach the finishing line of complete upgrade and after sync + reboot things should be good again
[07:08] <sre> unique1, important that the program have been installed and also located in $PATH
[07:09] <unique1> sre say i have the prog on my desktop
[07:09] <unique1> open terminal and enter cd Desktop
[07:10] <unique1> then what next?
[07:10]  * alankila *really* hopes that debian would switch to "set packages up as early as possible" logic, instead of installing 500 and then setting them all up, because interruptions between the replace and setup seem to be so catastrophic
[07:10] <unique1> cd teamsaver
[07:10] <alankila> need to be going now.
[07:10] <unique1> what next??
[07:11] <foolsh> unique1: you said you had errors trying to install it didn;t you?
[07:11] <homepage> cd
[07:11] <unique1> i installed already the termsaver i had errors with terminator term
[07:11] <homepage> sudo what?
[07:12] <unique1> but i still dunno how to run the termsaver i installed
[07:12] <unique1> i do sudo python setup.py
[07:12] <fidel_> homepage: what are you trying to do?
[07:12] <sre> unique1, wild guess is that you now have the source files in a folder located in your Desktop folder. That is not a adequate installation
[07:12] <g0rby> alankila: apt-get dist-upgrade is doing loads of stuff, but apt-get-upgrade wanted to get stuff from the net
[07:12] <unique1> i do sudo python setup.py install
[07:13] <unique1> yes i have the files for the termsaver on my desktop with a build inside also
[07:13] <hariom> How to know if the cronjob I have setup is running?
[07:13] <g0rby> alankila:  but ive seen it go through the problematic packages, think its going to be ok after this :)
[07:13] <hariom> I see the output from "crontab -l " and it shows the task I setup
[07:13] <subdesign> hariom, set it first time for 5 second
[07:13] <homepage> woi
[07:14] <fidel_> hariom: check syslog
[07:14] <hariom> subdesign: How do you setup for seconds?
[07:14] <unique1> sre i did, cd desktop, cd termsaver-0.1 any idea what next command to use and run the termsaver??
[07:14] <subdesign> hariom, lot of article on google about that :)
[07:15] <hariom> subdesign: I think it is for min, hour, week, month, and day in a week only
[07:15] <subdesign> hariom, http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/07/cron-every-5-minutes/
[07:15] <fidel_> afaik cron needs at least 1 min - so under 60 sec is not recommended
[07:15] <drake01> anybody using terminus font on xterm. it behaves odd on xterm.. It'll display dmaind and d;d instead of 'main' and ';
[07:15] <hariom> fidel_: yea
[07:15] <drake01> on rxvt and other terminals it works fine..
[07:16] <drake01> Help Please!!
[07:17] <hariom> subdesign: Cron job cannot be used to schedule a job in seconds interval. i.e You cannot schedule a cron job to run every 5 seconds.
[07:17] <newby> how can i set the kezboard szstemwide_
[07:17] <subdesign> really?
[07:17] <hariom> subdesign: That is coming from the link you suggested. So until the script do that thing, at least cron can't do that
[07:18] <foolsh> unique1: http://www.termsaver.info/
[07:18] <sre> unique1, the solution :D thanks to foolsh :)
[07:19] <subdesign> hariom, i usually check cron in 5 min cycle for php dev, and have no problem with it
[07:20] <hariom> subdesign: 5 min is fine, not 5 seconds. as fidel_ suggested, syslog shows the cron job activity
[07:21] <subdesign> ahh sorry i misspelled

[07:26] <newby> dh33p4n, lxde
[07:27] <foolsh> dh33p4n: yeah lxde not pretty but light and fast
[07:27] <dh33p4n> thanks newby, foolsh.

[07:31] <usbhelp> Hi all, I'm getting the following error: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5. The device I'm plugging in does not get recognized in lsusb. A quick fix I've found is boot into console mode, and type sudo service gdm restart. This makes ubuntu recognize the device and works again. I'm looking for a more permanet fix for this problem, as well as try to understand why this is happening.

[08:07] <foolsh> akhilesh: You have a bug that rarely rears it's ugly head, to fix it you will have to edit the dreaded /etc/X/xorg.conf file that probably doesn't even exist on your harddrive yet
[08:07] <cfoch> hello: I'm a little pea.
[08:07] <zykotic10> pvh_sa: all presets or presets for MP4?
[08:07] <ljsoftnet> how do i use jstest-gtk?
[08:08] <foolsh> akhilesh: is your resolution stuck at a very low setting?
[08:08] <akhilesh> foolsh:i did that all thing, what you are saying,but no response!!!!
[08:08] <pvh_sa> zykotic10, the presents for DVD are off (use a -mv0 argument that doesn't work)

[08:09] <akhilesh> foolsh:yes!!
[08:09] <zykotic10> pvh_sa: sorry was just asking about MP4 specifically.  Don't know about other issues with ffmpeg, good luck.

[08:11] <akhilesh> foolsh:now what do i do????
[08:11] <resting> i'd configured vsftp to listen on port 2121..but on client side its not able to connect to it..
[08:11] <resting> am i missing some steps?
[08:12] <foolsh> akhilesh: alright give me minute to find some resources but the good news is that the xorg.conf file we make to night should last you the life of the computer you're using
[08:12] <llutz> resting: sudo lsof -i :2121                does it really listen? what error clientside? what errors in the serverlogs?
[08:13] <akhilesh> foolsh:ok, i am waiting for your answer!!
[08:13] <sdi_> hallo alle zusammen
[08:15] <sdi_> hab da ein problem hab ubuntu 12.04 und hab mit remastersys eine dist gemacht und nun seh ich das ich die nicht installieren kann hab dan eine backup.iso gemacht das selbe kann nicht installieren kein installer da
[08:15] <resting> llutz: yes..its listening…i'm using filezilla…it just says connection timed out
[08:15] <resting> no logs in vsftpd.log
[08:16] <sdi_> kann mir da bitte jemand helfen ?
[08:16] <llutz> !de | sdi
[08:16] <sdi_> ah ok wusste ich nicht danke
[08:17] <llutz> resting: any filtering (iptables-)rules active?
[08:17] <linusasus6> zykotick10 it is my-sys I try to install
[08:18] <resting> llutz: i did sudo iptables -L | grep ftp…it shows  tcp anywhere anywhere…i guess there's no filtering?
[08:19] <llutz> resting: if you use "ftp" it uses port 21
[08:19] <zykotic10> !tab > linusasus6 sorry i'm not familiar with my-sys, and see it's not an ubuntu package - good luck
[08:19] <llutz> resting: means 2121 still filtered
[08:20] <resting> llutz: oo…so i have to manually set a rule?
[08:20] <llutz> resting: yes
[08:20] <resting> llutz: ic..ok…will look that up..thanks
[08:21] <llutz> resting: you should check if you can't use sftp instead of ftp, which would be much saver than ftp with obfuscated ports
[08:21] <foolsh> akhilesh:  I will be right back I'm going to test this xorg.conf file on my system first and then tell you how use it, if it works.
[08:22] <zykotic10> llutz: +1 ftp must die
[08:22] <linusasus6> good night then will try to find a windows 7 disc tommorrow then thank anyway sorry that you not support my-sys, my computer sick I need to reinstall it like I buy it to send it for repair see ya another day near future
[08:22] <repozitor> hi
[08:22] <repozitor> where is the synaptic pakage manager?
[08:22] <zykotic10> repozitor: install it
[08:22] <repozitor> i search it on dash home, but coudln't find it
[08:22] <resting> llutz: yes i can use sftp…oo…so i could change ssh port and its effectively changing both ports?
[08:23] <repozitor> couldn't*
[08:23] <akhilesh> foolsh:ok
[08:23] <fidel_> repozitor: afaik its no longer installed by default
[08:23] <erik4levels> Hi all, I can't run the installer nor the live cd from usb stick on my Lenovo w520
[08:23] <fidel_> repozitor: why couldnt you install it?
[08:23] <WrigleyPete> repozitor: synaptic is not installed by default anymore, you need to install it via ubuntu software center
[08:23] <llutz> repozitor: "both ports"? ssh/sftp has nothing to do with ftp, except parts of the name
[08:23] <llutz> resting: ^^
[08:23] <llutz> sry repozitor wrong nic
[08:23] <repozitor> fidel_: i think 12.04 by defualt should have it, no need to install
[08:23] <erik4levels> Is there a way to run the installer from within gnome?
[08:24] <fidel_> repozitor: its pretty simple to test isnt it?
[08:24] <ljsoftnet> how do i use jstest-gtk?
[08:24] <WrigleyPete> erik4levels: what do you mean by cannot install?
[08:24] <resting> llutz: i read that sftp is basically ftp over ssh..
[08:24] <fidel_> launch it from cli - if you end up with: command not found - its most likely not installed. if so - install it
[08:24] <erik4levels> It starts (I can select language etc) and then just turns blank
[08:24] <fidel_> or use apt to check if its installed or ....
[08:24] <zykotic10> repozitor: synaptic was removed in 11.10 wasn't it?
[08:24] <llutz> resting: yes, it uses ssh and also the ssh-port
[08:24] <repozitor> llutz: 10.10 have by default, i think, yes?
[08:25] <erik4levels> It's an optimus nvidia laptop but I disabled all optimus stuff in the bios
[08:25] <repozitor> zykotic10: sure
[08:25] <erik4levels> I've been reading a lot about it, trying with acpi disabled etc
[08:25] <erik4levels> I'd rather not use the i386 version
[08:26] <fidel_> erik4levels: i had to use acpi=noirq with my dell xps15z with optimus to be able to isntall ubuntu. maybe that worth a try
[08:26] <repozitor> where i can find my system application, such ax proxy manager, system monitor ....
[08:26] <repozitor> ?
[08:26] <erik4levels> let's try, thanks for the tip!
[08:26] <repozitor> as*
[08:28] <repozitor> fidel_: ^^ :D ?
[08:28] <fidel_> repozitor: please try to use normal language and somehow full sentences. i dont know what the above should tell me
[08:29] <fidel_> its "chat-rubbish" which might confuse and doesnt contain any relevant info ;)
[08:29] <repozitor> fidel_:ok, i mean that in 10.10 i open my system application from menu bar, but 12.04 dosn't have this property
[08:30] <fidel_> repozitor: and whats the question now?
[08:30] <repozitor> how to open them in 12.04? :D
[08:31] <repozitor> i search in dash home, but couldn't find them
[08:32] <MaxFrames> hello
[08:32] <fidel_> repozitor: its up to you - launch them by terminal - launch them by alt+f2 - by a special launcher (i.e. Kupfer which is my personal choice)
[08:33] <fidel_> repozitor: that depends on the user & the desktop-environment -> so it might differ what you prefer based on the fact if you are using unity, gnome-shell or whatewver else
[08:33] <fidel_> consider kupfer - its a pretty good launcher (bot not installed by default either)
[08:34] <K-4U> Hello eveybody. Can somebody help me with a 256 color problem in screen? I already put the config values in my .screenrc, but still no 256 colors :(
[08:34] <foolsh> akhilesh: Ok you need to put this    http://paste.ubuntu.com/966431/     into the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X. please note customising the xorg.conf to accommodate a system I have no physical contact with is messing with dark powers. So the xorg.conf file I provide is minimal and should get you to 1024x768@75hz which is fairly common. If when you try this fix you do not get to the desktop or your monitor makes funny noises tur
[08:34] <foolsh> n off your computer start it in safe mode and remove the xorg.conf file.
[08:34] <repozitor> fidel_: when i use alt+F2  dash home appear for me :((
[08:35] <repozitor> i hate unity :|
[08:35] <fidel_> repozitor: i cant help you with unity - as i dont use it.
[08:35] <jrp> is there an easy way to specify on the command line what apt-repo i want to install from?
[08:35] <fidel_> repozitor: then dont use it
[08:35] <repozitor> just gnome-shell :X
[08:35] <akhilesh> foolsh:thanks dude!!! great help..
[08:35] <repozitor> fidel_:do you use gnome-shell?
[08:36] <zykotic10> K-4U: probably depends more on the terminal you are using, but does screen actually support 256 colours?
[08:36] <fidel_> repozitor: yep i do use gnome-shell & kupfer as launcher
[08:36] <K-4U> zykotic10: I´m using putty now.. I´ve got it working if i don´t use a screen session, but with screen, it´s a no-go
[08:36] <zamba> i have a small problem with gnome classic.. all new applications/windows are automatically moved to viewport 1 when i move past the viewport they're currently in
[08:37] <zamba> oh, nevermind.. this only goes for thunderbird and chromium
[08:37] <foolsh> akhilesh: after you get up to usable resolution you really need to find the real values for HorizSync and VertRefresh that are for your monitor usaully you can google the model number and find them.
[08:37] <AxonetBE> I have a webserver running on Ubuntu 9.10, is it easy to update to a newer version of ubuntu without breaking to much things?
[08:37] <fidel_> AxonetBE: do run a backup first - as noone can garanty you that there will be no issues
[08:38] <K-4U> zykotic10: Here´s the issue.. i´m on a train now, using tethered internet to connect to my server at home.. The connection isn´t that good, so i need it to keep my working shell open at all time, even if i disconnect
[08:38] <akhilesh> foolsh: okkkkkkkk
[08:38] <repozitor> fidel_: what is suitable for progammer?
[08:38] <AxonetBE> fidel_: Ok and how do I update then?
[08:38] <Qalqi> hello
[08:39] <fidel_> repozitor: i dont get your question - maybe ask the channel not just me
[08:40] <Qalqi> i started using ubuntu classic since gnome 3 was having problems with my amd card. Does anyone want to know if this issue is resolved
[08:40] <repozitor> fidel_:ok, tnx for replying :)
[08:41] <zamba> how can i remove the animation when switching desktop?
[08:41] <Qalqi> oops. my question was i wanted to know if this isssue was resolved?
[08:42] <K-4U> zykotic10: Sorry.. did you say something in the past 5 minutes? My internet went out..
[08:43] <akhilesh> foolsh:can i get agin high resolution? my laptop give 1280*800 resolution in windows 7...
[08:44] <akhilesh> foolsh: sorry it's again instead of agin.
[08:45] <DamienCassou> 6 months ago I connected to this chat and complained about unity. Later I just installed Cinnamon. Today I connect to congratulate. Unity works *much* better and I'm an happy user now. Thank you so much
[08:46] <howlymowly_> hi poeple..  short question: Does anyone here know, whether gimp 2.8. will be included in the ubuntu repositories? and if so, how long will it take?
[08:47] <DarwinSurvivor> akhilesh: sorry, got here late, but have you checked the back of the monitor for the values foolsh is asking for? Many monitors have a sticker on the back with all the specs
[08:47] <xuserx> can anyone help me ? i want to use ubuntu customization kit to remaster a xubuntu12.04 .iso but i have the same error >>>>Failed to copy resolv.conf, error=1
[08:47] <ljsoftnet> where can i get jscalibrator for ubuntu 12.04?
[08:49] <DamienCassou> howlymowly_: I don't think this is a standard procedure at ubuntu to publish packages for new releases. We have seen exceptions, but you'd better use a PPA
[08:49] <xuserx> his is the build.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/966443/
[08:49] <xuserx> can you help me?

[08:54] <dr_willis> other browsers work?
[08:54] <zamba> where has the sound preferences applet gone to in gnome shell/classic?
[08:54] <pvh_sa> dr_willis, yes, firefox works.
[08:55] <rile_bre> any one ...magic jack an ubuntu ...maybe ...some trick to us it ..( maibe wine ) or such ?????
[08:55] <ljsoftnet> where can i get jscalibrator for ubuntu 12.04?
[08:55] <dr_willis> rile_bre:  last i heard about that was basivally a big 'nope..' from the wine devs.. but thaat was a year+ ago. check the appdb
[08:55] <dr_willis> !find jscal
[08:56] <rile_bre> ty dr_willis
[08:56] <dr_willis> i was thinking jscal - calebrted my sticks ages ago
[08:56] <dr_willis> pvh_sa:  as a test you could change the useragent to be the same as what firefox uses
[08:57] <mystblade9> How do I create a custom launcher?
[08:57] <dr_willis> mystblade9:  make a custome .desktop file for it - is one way.
[08:57] <dr_willis> examples and guides on them at the askubuntu.com site i recall. or look at ones on your system,
[08:57] <mystblade9> Isn't there any GUI for it?
[08:58] <dr_willis> never really noticed.. or needed one.
[08:59] <dr_willis> i normally take gedit.desktop and just copy andd edit it
[08:59] <necruse> hello can someone help on dovecot
[08:59] <x_XP> -
[08:59] <x_XP> I need some help with upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04. Could  someone please help to guide me trough this, since on my own I am running to some serious problems.
[09:00] <dr_willis> i find it easier to do clean installs
[09:00] <ljsoftnet> where can i get jscalibrator for ubuntu 12.04?
[09:01] <dr_willis> wouldent you have to upgrade to 11.10 then too 12.04
[09:01] <dr_willis> !find jscalibrator
[09:01] <dr_willis> ljsoftnet:  try jscal perhaps
[09:01] <x_XP> let me explain my problems are I backup my home folder copying files to the external USB HDD and After upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10  on DELL E6400 laptop I could not login with my user-name and my password all I could do login as a Guest . Then I upgraded  this  to 12.04.  I was able to pass the login screen only after removing  the .Xauthority file in my home directory and after reboot I was not able to access any of my files and deskto
[09:02] <dr_willis> x_XP:  the can only login as guest seems to be a known issue with lightdm, i had same issue. using gdm however worked fine,
[09:02] <ljsoftnet> dr_willis how do i use it, you know the steps on how to use it?
[09:02] <ljsoftnet> dr_willis i've already installed it
[09:02] <dr_willis> ljsoftnet:  start with man jscal  - i havent used a joystick in years
[09:03] <barnabas02> X_XP: download ultimatebootcd, and save your data, then reinstann ubuntu
[09:03] <vexaxv> hey guys what is the "opt" directory for?
[09:03] <pvh_sa> dr_willis, i tried trashing my chromium profile, re-importing firefox settings, same problem. so i tried a second time, deleted chromium profile, did not import firefox - works fine.... so its got to do with something that gets imported i think
[09:03] <foolsh> vexaxv: optional software
[09:03] <dr_willis> vexaxv:  optional software, stuff often compiled  on the system. not using the apt0get packages
[09:03] <vexaxv> so is it an ideal place to put source games?
[09:04] <dr_willis> vexaxv:  for a single user - you could just keep them in your HOME.
[09:04] <necruse> quit
[09:04] <vexaxv> k thanks
[09:09] <x_XP> barnabas02:  i do have backup done of home folder by copying it to USB HDD  of my 11.04 then i upgraded it to 11.10 and 12.04 what i wanted to achieve was to be able do backup of 12.04 and then transfer it to ne installed 12.04 on SSD and restore data t
[09:10] <barnabas02> X_XP: Ső, you would like to do another backup? Or you are ready to reinstall the system.
[09:13] <dr_willis> id just restore my home. :)
[09:13] <x_XP> barnabas02:  i do have  bodger upgrade to 12.04 on HHD and new instalation of 12.04 on SSD with copied home folder from USB HDD backup but id didnt work as i expected i was hoping to do everything on old HDD then backup data and restore to SSD
[09:14] <dr_willis> but put the files in a subdir. if yiur old settings are causeing issues.
[09:15] <barnabas02> X_XP: Putting files in abother folder, or renaming the most upper directory is a good idea.
[09:16] <barnabas02> Then boot from ssd, and copy the files back.
[09:17] <x_XP> barnabas02:   will this  give me my previously installed programs back??
[09:17] <dr_willis> no it will not. the users data is more impoirntant then installed apps
[09:17] <foolsh> x_XP: oh no no no that's not what the home folder does
[09:19] <dr_willis> if you still have your 12.04 install with  the deb files cached in /var/apt/cache (i think) you could back them up and use them to  reinstall/save download bandwith
[09:19] <dr_willis>  or is it /var/cache/apt
[09:19] <x_XP> foolish: so why bother to upgrade if you cannot get enything to work other then Thunderbitd and firefox ?>
[09:20] <foolsh> Isn't there a way to save the state of apt to file and restore with it later
[09:20] <resting> i'd added a rule to iptables…do i have to 'restart' it?
[09:21] <x_XP> foolish: if it is i do not know how
[09:22] <foolsh> x_XP: thats why i'm with dr_willis reinstall every time, would be done by now.
[09:22] <vexaxv> does anyone in here make there own unity shortcuts with the .desktop files?
[09:23] <xuserx> hi
[09:23] <resting> ok i'd flushed iptables and ftp works on port 2122
[09:24] <resting> but putting the rules back it fails
[09:24] <resting> i have the rule as ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:2122

[09:25] <intore> hi, i installed ubuntu 11.10 but there are some big problems. Sometimes it logout itself and shows the login screen.
[09:26] <dr_willis> intore:  more likely the Desktop is crashing.. goingback to the login screen when X restarts.
[09:26] <dr_willis> not logging out
[09:26] <x_XP> foolish: reinstall ubuntu    ok with me       but  then to reinstall all your applications  this is to hard for me to comprehend why to do this every 6 months with new Ubuntu?
[09:26] <xuserx> can you help me?
[09:27] <dr_willis> keep an eye on that bug report to see when the bug gets fixed. or if the comments in it -  mention a work around.
[09:27] <jarco> is there a stream of the ubuntu summit next week?
[09:27] <foolsh> xuserx: Hmm I'm not really sure but the /etc/resolv.conf file is a trivial little thing. If you're having trouble with it make sure it exists, if not just create a blank one and try your process again

[09:30] <DarwinSurvivor> jarco: http://video.ubuntu.com/live/
[09:30] <xuserx> ok
[09:30] <jarco> yeah thx DarwinSurvivor
[09:30] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: that depends what the .bin file *did*
[09:30] <jarco> Its just to see what EA has to say.
[09:30] <REK_007> how to install Avast on ubuntu AMD64 ?
[09:30] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: do you have a link to it?
[09:30] <akem> iHarp, the bin might have an uninstall parameter.
[09:30] <xuserx> etc/resolv.conf does not exist
[09:31] <DarwinSurvivor> !antivirus | jarco
[09:31] <dr_willis> intore:  its not 'logging out' its crashing. so you need  to determine why its crashing.
[09:31] <akem> try -h/--help etc.
[09:31] <foolsh> xuserx: 'sudo touch /etc/resolve.conf'
[09:31] <iHarp> it opened an installer. which installed. It left an uninstaller. But now when I try to run them nothing happens
[09:31] <iHarp> It opens ubuntu software center
[09:31] <jarco> DarwinSurvivor: hey. that wasnt for me :)
[09:32] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: please post a link. .bin files are like .exe files in windows and it is 100% impossible to know what they did without inspecting it
[09:32] <iHarp> very strange
[09:32] <intore> dr_willis, in syslog?
[09:32] <DarwinSurvivor> gah, autocomplete is failing me today :(
[09:32] <iHarp> Well before I post let me clarify.
[09:32] <DarwinSurvivor> !antivirus | REK_007
[09:32] <foolsh> xuserx: or sudo touch /path/to/etc/resolve.conf
[09:32] <dr_willis> intore:  could be, its hard to tell
[09:33] <x_XP> foolish:  I was happy with 11.04 but Ubuntu was spamming me with messages to upgrade and i did cave in  what is the best way to do it start again from beginning ubuntu and applications  or is there any backup which preserve applications and data
[09:33] <REK_007> DarwinSurvivor: yeah well I know that .. I need to scan another PC's HDD using ubuntu
[09:34] <xuserx> /etc/resolv.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/966539/
[09:35] <intore> dr_willis, i found this line May  4 11:21:57 dello gnome-session[1390]: Gdk-WARNING: gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.#012
[09:35] <iHarp> Ive only recently had this issue. In the past (this week) the .bin file opened the game and I played it seamlessly.  I turned my computer on today and tried to play the game but when I try to open it I get sent to ubuntu software center. Clicking on the uninstall shorty does nothing. USC doesn't prompt me to download anything either.
[09:35] <iHarp> sorry for the big post
[09:35] <foolsh> x_XP: You can turn off the upgrade option is config file some where its what I do for the system I sell because it makes my job easier
[09:35] <DarwinSurvivor> REK_007: avast appears to support 32 bit only on linux (according to their website). You could try another scanner such as ClamAV, or run Avast off of a 32-bit live-cd (32bit ubuntu will run fine on 64bit hardware)
[09:36] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: .bin files are notorious for bypassing the package manager and messing up system files. If you ran the .bin as root (by using sudo) then it will may be *very* difficult to undo. If you ran it as a normal user, it may not be that hard
[09:37] <REK_007> well i guess I will have to do that .. i dont have a 32bit now..have a 64bit installed so wanted to know if a way was there to install 32bit one on 64bit.  anyway thanks for the help DarwinSurvivor
[09:37] <x_XP> foolish:  thanks 4 your help but this doesnt help me i done upgrade and i am where i am now not better off
[09:37] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: but once again, we won't be able to help you at all unless you tell us what it was!
[09:37] <enzotib> hi, i'm using 12.04 with LXDE. When I want to open a .tex file with texmaker in pcmanfm, texmaker starts with a blank document
[09:37] <DarwinSurvivor> REK_007: if you have a 32bit install CD you could boot off of it, or you could use a virtual machine (like VirtualBox) and scan using that
[09:38] <DarwinSurvivor> enzotib: please pastebin the .tex file
[09:39] <enzotib> DarwinSurvivor, it do not depend on the tex file, every tex file I try to open from filemanager, is not passed to texmaker
[09:39] <iHarp> root :(
[09:39] <iHarp> any suggestions?
[09:39] <iHarp> It's really not a big deal for me to just reinstall ubuntu. all the important stuff is backed up.
[09:39] <DarwinSurvivor> REK_007: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=781251 may help you
[09:39] <iHarp> ok
[09:39] <DarwinSurvivor> enzotib: have you tried using the "open" dialog in texmaker? That will rule out quite a bit of stuff
[09:39] <foolsh> x_XP: for me a fresh new install of ubuntu is like the new car smell at the dealership, new, fast, and ready to take me places.
[09:39] <xuserx> i have the same error>>..Failed to copy resolv.conf, error=1
[09:40] <xuserx> any ideas?
[09:40] <xuserx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/966443/
[09:40] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: reinstalling is probably the best bet. There is some stuff you can do using chroot's to find out what the .bin *probably* did, but you can never really be certain
[09:40] <foolsh> 'rm -rf /home/xman/tmp/remaster-root/etc/resolv.conf' maybe and try again
[09:41] <enzotib> DarwinSurvivor, from texmaker (open dialog) it works, and also works from terminal: texmaker file.tex
[09:41] <enzotib> DarwinSurvivor, it is a filemanager->application interaction problem, I think
[09:41] <iHarp> http://www.newerth.com/?id=downloads&op=displayDownload&category=1&file=xr_setup-1.0rc3-cl_lin_prod.bin is the link to the download page. It's the game savage
[09:41] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: I would also *HIGHLY* recommend NEVER using .bin installers EVER. I think quake3 is the only .bin I've ever seen that didn't completely destroy system it was installed on.
[09:42] <iHarp> So how else would I get a game like this on my system if it only comes in a bin file?
[09:42] <x_XP> foolish:  for me I am on the  limited data mobile broadband only and my options are liited to what i can  download each month, it could take me few months to get my application back and running again
[09:43] <x_XP> that why i did upgrade
[09:43] <x_XP> foolish:  for me I am on the  limited data mobile broadband only and my options are liited to what i can  download each month, it could take me few months to get my application back and running again
[09:45] <bogdomania> hi guys.. please don't kill me if i'm asking this Q in the wrong place.. how can i use ubuntu family fonts in LaTeX ? using LaTeXila atm..
[09:45] <iHarp> i can't believe you asked that in here....
[09:45] <iHarp> just kidding :p
[09:45] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: http://www.newerth.com/smf/index.php?topic=13970.0 "someone" made a .deb, but I would contact newerth and ask then to submit their game to the regular repos or at the very least create an official PPA for the game
[09:46] <taxman> because he is too old
[09:46]  * taxman runs away...
[09:47] <iHarp> DarwinSurvivor: cool, thanks
[09:47] <iHarp> reinstalling
[09:47] <iHarp> Linux = Dangerous freedom
[09:47] <iHarp> lol
[09:47] <DarwinSurvivor> enzotib: I'm going from memory here (been a couple months since I used thunar), but you should be able to use a custom command to open a file from the file browser. Try using that and manually selecting the texmaker binary as the application you wish to use. That will tell us if the setting is simply wrong, or something else isn't working
[09:48] <enzotib> DarwinSurvivor, ok, i could try
[09:48] <dr_willis> i really have to wonder what all you installed x_XP  i mean 12.04 just only recently got released.
[09:48] <DarwinSurvivor> enzotib: type "which texmaker" into the terminal to find out where the binary is
[09:48] <xuserx> i cant fix that error
[09:48] <iHarp> With linux I have complete freedom to destroy my machine anytime I want.. Screw you microsoft..lol
[09:48] <murlidhar> http://pastebin.com/XzwHh9t4 ... i am not able to update the repository .. how can it be fixed ?
[09:49] <yabanize> Hey, i just installed ubuntu alongside windows using the live cd, but when i rebooted, windows booted instead and i didnt even see grub, how do i fix this"?
[09:49] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[09:49] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: If you like to mess around with ubuntu but want to keep your machine working, consider creating a VirtualBox image to play around with. VirtualBox allows you to take a "snapshop" of the guest system and then revert to it in SECONDS if you screw it up :D
[09:49] <x_XP> dr_willis: I was talking about running  applications i hat in 11.04
[09:49] <dr_willis> yabanize:  you have more then 1 hd:
[09:49] <mrec> is there any way to fix the tap sensitivity with ubuntu 12.04? the default settings are unusable and very annoying
[09:50] <mrec> touchpad - tap sensitivity
[09:50] <dr_willis> x_XP:  any upgrade will download the apps anyway. so you did not save much bandwith,
[09:50] <mrec> synclient settings did not really fix the problem
[09:50] <iHarp> DarwinSurvivor: Ive had to reinstall a few times.. sounds like the better choice.
[09:51] <yabanize> No, i have 1 hd, but 6 partitions according to windows disk manager
[09:51] <x_XP> dr_willis:  thats  right i do have only few Mb left for the rest of this month
[09:51] <dr_willis> x_XP:  if bandwith is that critical - you may want to setup a 12.04 box ti work as an 'apt-cacher-ng' server to cach all the debs you download. that way they get ddownloaded once then every pc on the lan can get them from the cache
[09:51] <yabanize> dr_willis
[09:51] <yabanize> No, i have 1 hd, but 6 partitions according to windows disk manager
[09:51] <dr_willis> I just hit up the Free WiFi spots around time. :)
[09:51] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: I keep my main install fairly simple and well tuned and clone/create virtual machines when I want to play around with new stuff
[09:52] <dr_willis> yabanize:  so grub did not get instgalled to the wrong hard drive
[09:52] <dr_willis> yabanize:  id say follow that !fixgrub factoid and reinstall/repair grub.
[09:52] <yabanize> It is ONE hard drive, multiple partitions, as ubuntu made some
[09:52] <yabanize> I think its installed correct but how to i tell it to boot to grub instead of windows bootloader
[09:53] <DarwinSurvivor> hanthana_: one of the common mistakes is installing the bootloader to a partition instead of the drives MBR.
[09:53] <foolsh>
[09:53] <foolsh> yabanize: sounds like you need to set the boot flag for the partition where ubuntu installed to you can use a boot-able cd such the UBCD to do this.
[09:53] <iHarp> DarwinSurvivor: Experience is the best method of learning.. I think i have learned a valuable lesson (again) tonight
[09:53] <yabanize> I used the 'install along side windows' option, didnt change anything
[09:53] <dr_willis> i dident think grub neeeded the boot flag. and if grub is on the mbr of the only hd.. then it should be booting grub anyway
[09:53] <hanthana_> DarwinSurvivor, :)
[09:53] <iHarp> see you guys later.. about to nuke my drive again
[09:53] <Aruzsi> Hi,
[09:54] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: lesson #1 of Linux: Never use .bin installers :D
[09:54] <iHarp> lol
[09:54] <yabanize> Here are my partitions, see the bootable one is c: http://d.pr/i/FI5A
[09:54] <DarwinSurvivor> I had the ATI .bin driver installer hose my machine 3 times in a row before I learned that lesson :(
[09:54] <iHarp>  /bow
[09:54] <dr_willis> .bin = such a vague and annoying extension
[09:55] <iHarp> ,bin = evil?
[09:55] <xuserx> does it exists a irc channel for ubuntu customization kit?
[09:55] <x_XP> dr_willis:  how come that with upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 and then from 11.10 to 12.04 only firefox and thunderbird got carried on ? nothing else .
[09:55] <Aruzsi> How can I "clone" an Ubuntu 12.04 to some other machines? I think about different UUID, MAC etc.
[09:55] <dr_willis>   .bin (self installing exeutables) are very annoying
[09:55] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  ive done it with dd befor, ;)
[09:55] <DarwinSurvivor> iHarp: absoluetly. If the author was too lazy to not create either a .deb or a compilable source .zip/.tar.gz then they were probably too lazy to make a .bin that can be trusted
[09:55] <dr_willis> x_XP:  i never upgrade. i always do clean installs.
[09:55] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: Yes, some years ago ...
[09:56] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: Now it doesn't work: Grub2, fstab, udev, etc ...
[09:56] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  hmm i did it via dd with 11.04 and it worked
[09:56] <foolsh> I would still try setting the boot flag for the 140.97 partition before I did any thing else. I've seen grub get put in strange place by the installer before.
[09:57] <dr_willis> but i did an exact image from a usb to  a single hd system
[09:57] <x_XP> dr_willis: thanks for that i will remember your anwser for long time now
[09:57] <Hyperbyte> Aruzsi, I believe you can just configure fstab to recognise a partition by label rather than uuid.
[09:57] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: I tried to using rsync. I mentioned the problematic parts ...
[09:57] <yabanize> How do i put a boot flag on there?
[09:57] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: 2 easiest ways are to either "dd" clone the entire drive (make sure drive #2 is at least as big as drive #1) or copy the system over as normal and reinstall grub
[09:57] <dr_willis> i never used rsync Aruzsi , i just did a simple install to a 8gb flash. then cloned it via dd to a few other flash drives. then a internal sata once.
[09:57] <foolsh> yabanize: you'll need a third party program
[09:58] <Hyperbyte> Which gimp version is included with 12.04?
[09:58] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: Wat about MAC or anything else?
[09:58] <yabanize> ultimatebootcd ?
[09:58] <dr_willis> !info gimp
[09:58] <foolsh> yabanize: I use the gparted live cd
[09:58] <DarwinSurvivor> hanthana_: sorry, autocomplete fail AGAIN :(
[09:58] <Aruzsi> I've got a 16GB SSD and the target drive is 32GB
[09:58] <Hyperbyte> dr_willis, ah.  Thanks. :)
[09:58] <hanthana_> DarwinSurvivor, nop
[09:58] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  in that case. i would do the dd. then use gparted to resize the partions
[09:58] <Aruzsi> So I don't want to lose the +16GB with dd
[09:58] <yabanize> how about gparted on an ubuntu live cd?
[09:58] <murlidhar> any can help me fix the problem of updating the repository. i am not able to update the repos ...
[09:59] <yabanize> or live usb i should say, gparted
[09:59] <dejan_> hi to all...
[09:59] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: MAC as in Macintosh or network card identifier?
[09:59] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  or make a 2nd partition in the new space
[09:59]  * nikolja Dobar dan o
[09:59] <foolsh> yabanize: sure you can right click and set flags
[09:59] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: Not too bad idea! But UUID, etc ...
[09:59] <murlidhar> http://pastebin.com/XzwHh9t4 the pastebin of my apt-get install .
[09:59] <yabanize> great :D iloveyou
[09:59] <murlidhar> update*
[09:59] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  i dont recall uuid being an issue..
[09:59] <yabanize> brb while i do this
[09:59] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: MAC address
[09:59] <dr_willis> ffstab is easy to edit anyway
[09:59] <dr_willis> i dont recall any other issues doing the dd clone image.
[10:00] <foolsh> at least wait till it works then love me
[10:00] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: I have to copy the system to about 30 machines.
[10:00] <dr_willis> set your uuids to like 000-000-000  ;) so its easy to change them
[10:00] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: hmmm....
[10:00] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: MAC addresses are stored in the network hardware itself, when linux boots up it re-checks it anyways (if it even bothers to care what it is).
[10:00] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  you may want to check out mondo/mindi - it can setup a netboot enviroment where you 'restore' from  images on the network
[10:01] <foolsh> Aruzsi:  or drbl does the same thing
[10:01] <DarwinSurvivor> murlidhar: did you do an upgrade or a full install for 12.04?
[10:01] <murlidhar> DarwinSurvivor: no i did a fresh installation.
[10:01] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: and what about LAN card (NIC id?)
[10:01] <dejan_> Looking for someone that can give me sugestions - i instaled Ubuntu on my HP pavilion dv7 notebook and i have terible overheating problems... is there any way to fix that overheating isue without loosing my laptop performance? if not, can someone teach me how to format Ubuntu, clear all, and go back to win7... ty
[10:01] <DarwinSurvivor> murlidhar: ok
[10:02] <taxman> i have upgraded my 12.04 to the last
[10:02] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  networks are normally set to dhcp. so why would that be an issue
[10:02] <vanlong441> Have you ever seen GNOME Shell integrated perfectly into Unity 2D on Ubuntu 12.04 (with HUD and Unity Dash and everything else work as they should)? Wait no more, the how-to is here! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970904
[10:03] <enzotib> DarwinSurvivor, it works with /usr/bin/texmaker %F
[10:03] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: don't worry about the MAC addresses. Linux reads the code directly from the hardware at boot time and doesn't even store in on the HDD
[10:03] <dr_willis> vanlong441:  that sounds nasty ;)
[10:03] <Aruzsi> dr_willis: I don't know.
[10:04] <DarwinSurvivor> enzotib: ok, then thunar probably has texmaker's binary configured wrong in the settings. File a bug report against texmaker and tell them that it's not being set properly in thunar's "available applications" list
[10:04] <dejan_> Looking for someone that can give me sugestions - i instaled Ubuntu on my HP pavilion dv7 notebook and i have terible overheating problems... is there any way to fix that overheating isue without loosing my laptop performance? if not, can someone teach me how to format Ubuntu, clear all, and go back to win7... ty
[10:04] <murlidhar> DarwinSurvivor: can the problem be fixed ? i don't even know why it happened ?
[10:04] <dr_willis> Aruzsi:  so the answer is -  its not an issue. ;)
[10:04] <enzotib> DarwinSurvivor, it's not thunar, though, it's pcmanfm
[10:05] <murlidhar> DarwinSurvivor: happened so suddenly. been using the new distro for the past one week without any problems.
[10:05] <DarwinSurvivor> enzotib: sorry, either way you should file a bug report (but against pcmanfm :P )
[10:05] <DarwinSurvivor> murlidhar: looking of the log still
[10:05] <murlidhar> ok
[10:05] <murlidhar> thanks
[10:06] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: NIC will be identified.
[10:06] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: I think
[10:07] <DarwinSurvivor> murlidhar: can you go into "software sources" and change your default server? That will tell us if it's your computer (which we can fix) or the server itself (in which case we just leave it changed)
[10:07] <Naemdar> having ethernet port issues.  its auto selecting 1000 full and I am not sure how to set it to just go 100 full
[10:07] <murlidhar> DarwinSurvivor: will try. one second
[10:07] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: why do you want to slow down your ethernet?
[10:07] <foolsh> Naemdar: is that an issue?
[10:08] <HowDoI> My Internet went out right as I asked about crashes on Intel Ivy Bridge graphics, did it post?
[10:08] <murlidhar> DarwinSurvivor: well the main server is working fine it seems ....it is updating without giving any errors so far.
[10:08] <murlidhar> DarwinSurvivor: i was using india server earlier ...seems like its a server problem.
[10:08] <dejan_> can someone tell me how to delete ubuntu 12.04 and go to win 7? how change HD to NTFS and make boot from dvd - win 7... PLS
[10:09] <dr_willis> dejan_:  #windows will tell you how to install windows.
[10:09] <dr_willis> dejan_:  use fdisk, or gparted, or a live cd to delete all the partions on the hd you want to use. remake a ntfs partion.
[10:09] <dr_willis> actually the windows installer i think can do that...
[10:10] <Naemdar> I did the ethtool thing as a website suggested but for some reason I can't enter the commands like it says
[10:10] <dejan_> ok ty for tips... will google those....
[10:10] <DarwinSurvivor> murlidhar: must be. If you have any contact info for them (try visiting their website) you might want to just let them know you were having issues, that way they can get it fixed :)
[10:10] <captine> hi all.  is anyone having stability issues with Skype.  running 2.2beta in ubuntu 12.04 and from time to time, my entire system locks up when starting skype.  have to hold the power button in and do a hard reboot
[10:10] <murlidhar> ok
[10:10] <ruman> hi everyone
[10:10] <Naemdar> I just don't think the cable can support those speeds cleanly it keeps dropping
[10:11] <Naemdar> I know the cable will run clean though at 100
[10:11] <murlidhar> will try to find out how to contact the server .
[10:11] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: please explain WHY you are trying to change the settings and also post a link to the page you are following so we can make sure it's correct
[10:12] <foolsh> captine: I always test the RAM when I get system lockup's 9 times outta 10 thats the culprit.
[10:12] <Naemdar> The port is dropping connection if I try to do more than one or 2 things at once
[10:12] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: if the cable is not allowing the full bandwidth speed, the kernel will automatically reduce the bandwidth to a stable speed
[10:12] <yabanize> hey um its me again im in gparted now and i added the boot flag to the partition and it didnt do anything
[10:13] <yabanize> i mean when it booted it was the bios saying insert device or something
[10:13] <foolsh> yabanize: dang reinstall grub my friend
[10:13] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: please post the output that is indicating the "port" is dropping as there is probably something else going wrong
[10:13] <yabanize> so how do i do thaat
[10:13] <DarwinSurvivor> !fixgrub | yabanize
[10:14] <DarwinSurvivor> just follow the RestoreGrub instructions
[10:14] <foolsh> yabanize: or do you mean it your in gparted right now and adding the flag did nothing?
[10:14] <foolsh> yabanize: in that case click apply and reboot
[10:14] <yabanize> It didnt do nothing it just wouldnt boot at all, like the bios saying it cant
[10:14] <add1ctus> anyone could help me with : https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/195847 ?
[10:14] <foolsh> yabanize: yup reinstall grub
[10:14] <HowDoI> Brand new Ubuntu install has periodic hard lockups with Ivy Bridge Intel i5-3570 using the built-in HD4000 graphics.  I can't find anything in bug reports or known issues.  Am I missing something, new chipsets untested with Intel drivers, or could my hardware be malfunctioning?
[10:14] <Naemdar> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html
[10:15] <yabanize> windows was installed before ubuntu
[10:15] <foolsh> yabanize: that's how it's done most of the time
[10:15] <yabanize> Great, wow that boot-repair looks pretty great
[10:16] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: are you only using that page for troubleshooting, or is that how you are setting up your connections?
[10:16] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: basically, why are you not simply using NetworkManager?
[10:16] <Naemdar> I can't find the duples and speed settings for some reason
[10:17] <yabanize> You people are so helpful:)
[10:17] <ace> hi there, i have a cron fragment file in /etc/cron.d but it doesn't seems to be called
[10:17] <billybigr> yabanize cross your fingers, it's failed me a few times, but saved me once or twice :)
[10:17] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: also, what is your network configuration? Is the machine simply connected to a router that connects to an internet modem?
[10:17] <yabanize> thanks to you all
[10:17] <Naemdar> yea, a simple network
[10:17] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: what happens when you simply use network manager?
[10:17] <Naemdar> No duples or speed settings, just mac and mtu
[10:17] <Naemdar> duplex rather
[10:18] <DarwinSurvivor> huh?
[10:18] <yabanize> will boot-repair choose the right partition to be bootable too?
[10:19] <yabanize> should i tick restore mbr?
[10:19] <Naemdar> ipv4 settings tab doesn't have duples or speed either
[10:19]  * taxman giggles
[10:19] <thoong> hi
[10:21] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: you should not have to mess with duplex or network speed unless you are doing VERY, VERY advanced custom routing (I'm talking university experiments here)
[10:21] <raph_ael> hi, how can i change the theme without unity ? (ie  have another color theme for epiphany and others) thanks
[10:21] <thoong> why is ubuntu still encouraging people to use 32 bit , arent we all progressing to 64 ?
[10:21] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: if your network is flaky, there is a REASON and that needs to be fixed
[10:22] <nastas> a little help please. When i do a normal boot after the login screen, my desktop is flickering and anything i click turns to black. When i boot in ubuntu safe mode, everything seems ok. any ideas?
[10:22] <DarwinSurvivor> thoong: because Skype and a few games don't have native 32 bit compilations, so you need to install a bunch of extra libraries to use them on 64 bit systems.
[10:23] <thoong> but in ubuntu you dont have to hunt individual libraries like fedora, you have ia32 lib bundle?
[10:23] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: please pastebin the output of "dmesg" as that will contain any hardware problems ubuntu is encountering. If you suspect the ethernet cable is bad, REPLACE it, they are quite cheap and a bad cable will only get worse!
[10:24] <pvh_sa> where should i put a .desktop file for a new application i have installed? ~/.local/share/applications ?
[10:24] <zz_paddy> hi everytime i install a different version of unbuntu i keep getting either an error or it is corrupt any way i can fix this ?
[10:25] <gaelfx> zz_paddy: check the md5 of the downloaded iso
[10:25] <gaelfx> !md5 | zz_paddy
[10:25] <zz_paddy> im using the windows installer
[10:25] <zz_paddy> basically making a dual boot
[10:25] <zz_paddy> so no idea where the file is downloading to lol
[10:26] <DarwinSurvivor> zz_paddy: wubi?
[10:27] <gaelfx> zz_paddy: wubi is notoriously unreliable
[10:27] <add1ctus> I'm having a problem with dual monitors with X Screen. One of my screens is only white with an "x" pointer and is not usable. I think it might be Unity / Compiz / Nautilus making the problem (as I could find out with googling). Any fixes?
[10:27] <Aruzsi> Is there a Grub2+fstab expert?
[10:27] <Naemdar> I know cable is cheap just didn't really have an issue with it until I got the new mobo and such
[10:27] <thewazir> I am having problem in installing updates from package manager
[10:27] <Aruzsi> I want to change from UUID to LABEL ...
[10:28] <thewazir> it says package operation failed
[10:28] <Aruzsi> or even better: to ancient /dev/sd...
[10:28] <raph_ael> how to access unity settings without being in unity ? ie what is the name of the app
[10:28] <zz_paddy> i agree gaelfx but its the only way i can install linux atm computer doesnt hav a cd rom or doesnt read a usb on start up
[10:28] <Guest19994> when i am upgrading  it is showin errors
[10:28] <iceroot> Aruzsi: and why?
[10:28] <add1ctus> raph_ael : tried myunity?
[10:29] <iceroot> Aruzsi: why not using UUID?
[10:29] <Aruzsi> iceroot: because it doesn't work for me now
[10:29] <Aruzsi> iceroot: from the new SSD
[10:29] <thewazir> I am getting this error - dpkg: error processing icaclient (--configure):

[10:29] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: the problem started with a new mobo? DEFINITELY time to pastebin the output of "dmesg"
[10:29] <raph_ael> add1ctus: yes, but it doesn't solve my problem :) thanks for help
[10:30] <DarwinSurvivor> !pastebin | Naemdar
[10:30] <foolsh> yabanize: Did you get grub fixed?
[10:30] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: use the pastebinit command. You'll need to install it first, then just run
[10:30] <elbrinke> Hi Guys, I would like to know how i can compile Ubuntu TV on 12.04
[10:30] <HowDoI> DarwinSurvivor, what would one look for if there is an error in dmesg output? "error..." or something like that?
[10:30] <Aruzsi> iceroot: I want to clone my 16GB SSD to a new 32GB. That's all.
[10:30] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: use the pastebinit command. You'll need to install it first, then just run "dmesg | pastebinit" and it will pastebin the output FOR you :)
[10:31] <Aruzsi> iceroot: and I want to clone to another 30 machines.
[10:31] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: it's hard to tell, someone that isn't used to looking at it would find it difficult to spot the difference between a stern warning and a full error
[10:31] <dns53> elbrinke aren't there instructions on the website?
[10:31] <iceroot> Aruzsi: dd or clonezilla are your friends
[10:31] <DarwinSurvivor> !pastebinit
[10:31] <Aruzsi> iceroot: dd not! 16 ->32GB
[10:31] <DarwinSurvivor> use pastebinit and you'll have a pastebin url in 5 seconds :)
[10:32] <elbrinke> dns53: nope when i try the instructions as on website https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTV/Contributing it does not compile
[10:32] <Aruzsi> iceroot: I've got the rsync-ed 16GB and I want to use it on 32GB
[10:32] <elbrinke> not sure if we are talking about the same website?
[10:32] <iceroot> Aruzsi: resize the partition? or just have a 16gb partition there?
[10:33] <H474r1> Hi all
[10:33] <iceroot> Aruzsi: clone it with dd and resize it with gparted or use clonezilla directly
[10:33] <Aruzsi> iceroot: sda1 -swap sda2 - root
[10:33] <Aruzsi> iceroot: OK resizing what about UUID, grub2, etc hw specific things?
[10:34] <Aruzsi> iceroot: dd won't work because of UUID
[10:34] <Naemdar> I think I have it, there is no domain
[10:34] <add1ctus> I'm having a problem with dual monitors as seperate X Screens. One of my screens is only white with an "x" pointer and is not usable. I think it might be Unity / Compiz / Nautilus making the problem (as I could find out with googling). Any fixes?

[10:35] <Naemdar> its default and ubuntu doesn't like it
[10:35] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: is you are simply trying to connect your computer to a router, you shouldn't even have to open network manager, it should just auto-connect. please be specific about what you are trying to set up!
[10:36] <add1ctus> H474r1: try lubuntu ?
[10:36] <Naemdar> A simple network.  Nothing complicated
[10:36] <H474r1> LUBUNTU?

[10:36] <dj__> can anyone help me , i am geting error while upgradin my ubuntu , this is the error i am getting http://pastebin.com/AkmyWRWM
[10:36] <Aruzsi> iceroot: so how can I change to LABEL from UUID?
[10:37] <add1ctus> H474r1: http://lubuntu.net/
[10:37] <H474r1> thX
[10:37] <Naemdar> It may be fixed I will open up a torrent to see if it dropps the connection
[10:37] <foolsh> add1ctus: You are way out in the deep water. Multi monitor works more intuitively in Xinerama mode rather than seperate X sessions.
[10:37] <dns53> Aruzsi extfs tune i believe
[10:37] <add1ctus> foolsh: tried using xinerama, but it doesn't work at all... (can't even see the login screen)
[10:38] <ludkiller> hey i need help on programming?
[10:38] <foolsh> add1ctus: The white screen and X are there because nothing is running to serve up a desktop envorinment
[10:38] <Aruzsi> dns53: partitions are already named
[10:38] <Aruzsi> dns53: grub2 config, fstab?
[10:38] <yabanize> Hey help please? trying to install grub,  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda,,,,           and it returns /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[10:38] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: what model of router are you using? If it's dropping while torrenting, it may be a problem with your router
[10:39] <dj__> http://pastebin.com/AkmyWRWM can anyone check this error which am getting while upgrading an tell me what shalli do
[10:39] <add1ctus> foolsh: so it's hard to get it work on x screen and i should try xinerama?
[10:39] <dns53> Aruzsi i missed some of the conversation, so you have an existing installation on a disk and you want to move it to a new bigger drive?
[10:39] <DarwinSurvivor> Naemdar: some older routers don't have large enough stacks to deal with the number of connections a torrent application uses, so you may need to adjust the "maximum connections" limit on your torrenting app
[10:39] <Aruzsi> dns53: Yessss!!!
[10:39] <Aruzsi> dns53: It is a very, very simple task - was some years ago ...
[10:40] <alice_bc> do you  know  how manage an iphone 4s in ubuntu?
[10:40] <foolsh> add1ctus: Become more familiar with the xorg.conf file and I'm sure xinerama can work. it's just what you ask is so advanced I would have to literally be sitting beside you.
[10:40] <dj__> when i upgrade my system i get this error http://pastebin.com/AkmyWRWM  please anyone help me
[10:40] <Aruzsi> dns53: After that I have to reconfigure the machine - hostname, IP, etc ...
[10:41] <nastas> i can only boot in ubuntu safe mode. in normal mode i have screen issues. any idea?
[10:41] <add1ctus> foolsh : i've spent all day yesturday on xorg.conf... and the outcome always was either only one screen working, or nothing working at all.
[10:41] <dns53> Aruzsi so create a partition with the same partition layout, copy the partitions with dd, run the resize command ie run resize2fs, reinstall grub, change /etc/fstab
[10:41] <Aruzsi> dns53: but it will be a new task after the system was booted succesfully
[10:41] <dj__> nastas even i have the same problem
[10:41] <totesmuhgoats> Naemdar: what DarwinSurvivor said, sometimes setting the timeout can also relieve the burden, but there are <100 dollar routers these days that offer a lot of headroom there, might just wanna consider an upgrade
[10:41] <thoong> does the livecd supports lvm?  is cleaner with one partition, esp. limited if you re on mbr.
[10:41] <Aruzsi> dns53: grub: using UUID
[10:41] <add1ctus> foolsh : i'll try to make xinerama work again, if i run into some problems i'll be here
[10:41] <nastas> dj__:  any progress so far?
[10:42] <Aruzsi> dns53: fstab is almost empty (except /proc)
[10:42] <samba35> what ubuntu server irc  #ubuntu_server or ?
[10:42] <totesmuhgoats> i have an asus rt-n16, 400 mhz, 128 mb ram, under $60 last i checked
[10:42] <dj__> nope i tried to upgrade but no progress
[10:42] <totesmuhgoats> samba35: /msg alis help
[10:42] <tBag> What is freqency AMD Barthon 2500+
[10:42] <foolsh> add1ctus: Paste bin your xorg.conf let me peek at it
[10:42] <dns53> Aruzsi so what is the problem? grub thinks the root partition is wrong?
[10:42] <Aruzsi> dns53: Yes!
[10:43] <samba35> LIST
[10:43] <add1ctus> foolsh : http://paste.ubuntu.com/966641/
[10:43] <totesmuhgoats> tBag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athlon#Barton_and_Thorton
[10:43] <thoong> lvm on livecd?
[10:43] <totesmuhgoats> looks like 1833 mhz
[10:43] <Aruzsi> dns53: Grub2 started and I can choose from te menu and after it I got error messages because of the mismatching UUID
[10:43] <Naemdar> Looks like I am going shopping for a new gig e cable this weekend.  I appreciate your patience.
[10:43] <yabanize> foolish: i try to use sudo grub-install /dev/sda or /sda6 but it says cannot find deivce for /boot/grub
[10:43] <Rothron> Hey guys. The ubuntu installer picks a video sync that my monitor can't display, so I can't even install the thing. (12.04)
[10:44] <add1ctus> foolsh: it might be messed up since i tried lots of stuff yesturday, and i was trying to force a different resolution on my working screen also (i'm pretty new to linux)
[10:44] <tBag> totesmuhgoats, thx
[10:44] <Aruzsi> dns53: of course I can retype UUID for only one boot
[10:45] <DarwinSurvivor> I hope Naemdar realizes that both his router AND computer need to support 1Gb before the link will go above 100Mb and that it still won't make his torrents any faster
[10:45] <dns53> Aruzsi you need to rebuild the init file system and re-run grub, or you could change the uuild of the root file system to match
[10:45] <Aruzsi> dns53: If I typed correctly that 100 numbers the system starts complain about wrong FS or fstab.
[10:46] <foolsh> add1ctus: ok here's mine I use Xinerama with no problems http://paste.ubuntu.com/966642/   might want to ajust those monitor timings and you could use mine
[10:46] <Aruzsi> dns53: Where I can edit MANUALLY UUID for grub? I don't have Ubuntu install CD/DVD
[10:46] <dj__> i am not able to upgrade my ubuntu can anyone help me?
[10:46] <add1ctus> foolsh : thanks, i'll see what can i do and i'll let you know
[10:46] <Aruzsi> dns53: I've got systemrescuecd
[10:47] <Aruzsi> dns53: I'm a little bit fed up with totally automatic setup.
[10:47] <dj__>  i am not able to upgrade my ubuntu can anyone help me?
[10:50] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: grub doesn't use the UUID's, it uses the (hdX,X) format, the UUID's are mostly used in /etc/fstab so the kernel knows where to mount stuff AFTER grub has passed control over to it
[10:50] <dns53> Aruzsi i don't believe you need to enter the uuid of the root partition, instead you can use the path, my command line was BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic root=/dev/mapper/vg0-root ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7
[10:51] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: There is UUID in my Grub2 menu which was genereated automatically.
[10:51] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: really? weird...
[10:51] <dns53> Aruzsi but you don't need to use it, specify root=/path
[10:52] <Rothron> I have my installer as an usb key. Is there a way to specify a resolution my monitor can display?
[10:52] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: LCD or CRT?
[10:52] <add1ctus> foolsh: I noticed you're using twinview and not xinerama? I tried doing that through nvidia-settings and I get the following error message : http://paste.ubuntu.com/966651/
[10:52] <dns53> Rothron i believe you can, when the boot menu comes up there are options
[10:53] <Aruzsi> dns53: If I specify by /dev/sdaX grub complains
[10:53] <dns53> Rothron press f2 i believe and it will tell you what you can do
[10:53] <Aruzsi> dns53: the search command
[10:53] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: LCD
[10:53] <dns53> Aruzsi so partitions and not lvm or dmcrpt or anything strange?
[10:53] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: is ubuntu not using the native resolution of the LCD?
[10:53] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: Yes, weird! Absolutelly
[10:53] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: 12.04 Server
[10:53] <Rothron> I didn't see any boot menu. I got a short view of a little keyboard icon = a little man icon and then it lost sync
[10:53] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: nope
[10:54] <JonathanEllis> I am having problems with Chromium-browser and google-chrome both crashing on Ubuntu 12.04. Error messages from the terminal are here http://pastebin.com/kmNwGLzj      I googled this problem and found these bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/949439     and     http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=101160         I now don't know if this is a problem with chromium, google-chrome, ubuntu.
[10:54] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: is it possible for you to pastebin the exist menu.lst. We may be able to write the new one for you instead of trying to walk you through i
[10:54] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: is it possible for you to pastebin the exist menu.lst. We may be able to write the new one for you instead of trying to walk you through it
[10:54] <Aruzsi> dns53: I've got 2 partitions: sda1 -> swap; sda2 -> root
[10:54] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: no menu.lst
[10:54] <ciphergoth> Have upgraded to 12.04 and suffering from a weird problem: when I start our in-house time tracker application - written in Java with Swing - it appears in the list of icons but the window doesn't seem to be on the desktop.  Is there anything I can do?
[10:54] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: it is Grub2!!!!!
[10:55] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: ah
[10:55] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: :(
[10:55] <JonathanEllis> I am running chromium-browser version 18.0.1025.151 (Developer Build 130497 Linux) Ubuntu 12.04
[10:55] <pvh_sa> hey there, is there any way to get that 'default applications' launcher that was standard on 11.10 on 12.04? the one which said 'listen to music' etc
[10:55] <Aruzsi> DarwinSurvivor: I know simple Grub and I hate Grub2!
[10:55] <foolsh> add1ctus: You're right I keep calling that a hold out from my slackware days. try commenting out 'Option         "metamodes" "CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, CRT-1: 1280x1024 +1280+0"'
[10:55] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: if you open the "Displays" dialog inside configuration settings, what resolutions are you allowed to pick from?
[10:55] <dns53> Aruzsi root(hd1,1) i think
[10:55] <Aruzsi> dns53: hd0,1
[10:56] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: generally, an "undecided, incomplete' bug report is not a good source to go on
[10:56] <Sliss> On ubuntu apache with php> I query shotwell db to get an image location for display. I always get a read error in the apache error log. Can I somehow add the www-data user to a group so it does have read permissions to a home dir? It only works if www-data is the owner of all my photo's and this is not desirable. I also tried linking the photo dir to a dir inside the www but this didn't work either. What is the best approach to this?
[10:56] <DarwinSurvivor> Aruzsi: oh yeah, I forgot all about that :(
[10:56] <thoong> would ubuntu be coexist with different linux like fedora without mucking grub?
[10:56] <dr_willis> pvh_sa:  try using hud to search fir it.. hit alt  then enter  default
[10:56] <Aruzsi> dns53: Grub2 not accept hd0 for search command!
[10:56] <thoong> i have tbyte, want more os on it toi play
[10:56] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: you also need to update your Chromium
[10:57] <DarwinSurvivor> Sliss: do you understand *nix permissions (rwx, etc)?
[10:57] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: mine is 18.0.1025.168
[10:57] <dr_willis> thoong:  ubuntus grub2  can see other oss and set them in the menu. or add your own entrues
[10:57] <terminalclient> hey all, just started using a VPN on my laptop but I can't SSH in with the VPN on from my android phone, can anyone help with this?
[10:57] <pvh_sa> dr_willis, thanks. it doesn't seem to do anything... do you know if there is a way to 'tag' applications? so if i type 'listen', it will find my music player?
[10:58] <Sliss> yes i do DarwinSurvivor. But I have the feeling apache behaviour is in the way
[10:58] <Aruzsi> dns53: So using UUID wasn't my choise.
[10:58] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: you need to make sure which device you actually want to boot from. fdisk -l I believe will show you a list of available drives
[10:58] <thoong> thanks.. i have huge tb. wanna filled them up with os.
[10:58] <dr_willis> pvh_sa:  nope. ive just been experimenting wuth hud.
[10:58] <DarwinSurvivor> Sliss: apache does not need read permissions on your home folder, only execute permissions. the read permissions are only required on the folders that actually contain photos
[10:58] <pvh_sa> dr_willis, it is rather cool, isn't it?
[10:58] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I-ve got only one SSD
[10:59] <realopty> mm yes what is the latest version that excludes unity??
[10:59] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: but you need to know what grub thinks it's called
[10:59] <DarwinSurvivor> Sliss: execute allows apache to ENTER the folder, read allows it to see what files are in it
[10:59] <Sliss> DarwinSurvivor: I have to use shotwell as a normal user over the same images I want to display via apache
[10:59] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: and it is booting into grub2 menu
[10:59] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I'm running TwinView. My Monitor shows up as Unknown and the resolution is 3200x1200, the only one. I suspect i need to run non-nvidia drivers to find the information.
[10:59] <pvh_sa> dr_willis, if i find time though i want to put some effort into app integration - so i can connect my synapse with gnote, etc
[10:59] <realopty> !unity
[10:59] <realopty> !versions
[10:59] <Sliss> I will double check all settings
[10:59] <JonathanEllis> gaelfx: Where did you get your updated chromium? I have installed all the updates from the ubuntu repo. Is there another repo I should add or did you build it from source?
[10:59] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: and what shows up on the grub menu?
[11:00] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I've got many menu items
[11:00] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: please list what video card you have, what the native resolution of your monitor is and what driver(s) you are using
[11:00] <realopty> !notunity
[11:00] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: when I installed chromium, it added the google repo, so it updates straight from google. how did you install your chromium?
[11:01] <realopty> !clasic
[11:01] <JonathanEllis> gaelfx: From the ubuntu software centre. How did you install yours?
[11:01] <realopty> !classic
[11:01] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: I installed mine from Software Center
[11:01] <skulltip> what is the install ubuntu 12.04 username and password? I managed to log out and switch to ubuntu 2d on the install CD.. it's asking for a username and pw
[11:01] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: hang on a sec
[11:01] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: If I choose the default I got a new submenu with the possibility of some old kernels
[11:02] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: did you try sudo apt-get update?
[11:02] <DarwinSurvivor> Sliss: what permissions is shotwell giving the folders and photos by default? (ex: rw-rw-r--)
[11:02] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: error: no such device: <uuid>
[11:02] <thoong> like unity too, but i hope ubuntu wouldnt ditched it future, much like fedora with bluecurve... when they graft addons to gnome, they will have to perpectually support  it when gnome undergoes changes.
[11:02] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: did you reinstall grub using livecd/usb?
[11:03] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: of course I can change it but not permanently
[11:03] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I did it
[11:03] <skulltip> maybe root and root?
[11:03] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT520 [GeForce GT520] (rev a1)    native resolution is 1600x1200.  Driver is nvidia version 280.13
[11:03] <DarwinSurvivor> Sliss: if you *think* you have the permissions set up right and it still isn't working, please pastebin /var/log/apache/error.log (I *think* that's the right path)
[11:03] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: because of wrong UUID the grub will be wrong
[11:03] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: sorry, I was wrong, I forgot that I went to chrome.google.com
[11:03] <foolsh> !notunity
[11:03] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: try that, it should offer to add itself to the repos
[11:04] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: after you choose the correct settings or w/e it should open up software center for you
[11:04] <add1ctus> foolsh : Finally both of my screens work, but now I get an error message when I log in, and also Ubuntu asking me if I want to send error report. error message and xconf.org pasted on http://paste.ubuntu.com/966666/
[11:04] <terminalclient> anyone know how to SSH into a box behind a VPN?
[11:04] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I don't have Ubuntu install except the iso on an external USB HDD
[11:05] <Ztane> is there any known bugs why touchpad should stop working now in unity; I have now encountered twice with precise that screen lock & release, the touchpad does not move mouse cursor, though scrolling works...
[11:05] <add1ctus> foolsh: and if you could also explain me how to force both screens on 1280x1024 resolution.. nvidia-settings doesn't allow me to put 1280x1024 on one of the monitor, while it worked perfectly on windows
[11:05] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: if Ubuntu is not installed, why are you getting a grub prompt?
[11:05] <Ztane> before that, I had it working for over a year without any such problems
[11:05] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: but I can mount the Ubuntu's FS
[11:05] <foolsh> add1ctus: Hang on a minute
[11:05] <add1ctus> foolsh : will do
[11:05] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Ubuntu was installed
[11:06] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: on a different machine
[11:06] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: where was ubuntu installed?
[11:06] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I rsynced it
[11:06] <Ztane> also, touchpad is disabled when typing has been turned OFF bc it was buggy on my machine.
[11:06] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I changed the drive
[11:06] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: fdisked it
[11:06] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: mkswap+mkfs.ext4
[11:06] <Ztane> very annoying to have to hit control-alt-bs every second day...
[11:07] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: re-synced the FS
[11:07] <gaelfx> !enter > Aruzsi
[11:07] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: hmm, that video card should work by default (I have a GT430 which was one of its predecessors)
[11:07] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: can you post a screenshot of your issue?
[11:07] <JonathanEllis> gaelfx: I have the google repo from when I installed google chrome. I will check which version of google-chrome I have
[11:07] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: on what drive is ubuntu actually installed? or are you just using a liveusb?
[11:08] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: sda
[11:08] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: I mean the physical drive
[11:08] <Akusari> Hello People!
[11:08] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: sda is a 32GB SSD
[11:08] <Rothron> DrawinSurvivor: I can take a photograph of the screen, but I don't see how that will be helpful?
[11:09] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: ok, and this SSD is in the computer you're using now, right?
[11:09] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: the full FS is on my external USB drive
[11:09] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Yes
[11:09] <JonathanEllis> gaelfx: I have google-chrome 18.0.1025.168 and I was already having this problem. I have added some more update settings to my software sources. I will check for more updates and see if anything offers to update.
[11:09] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: what full FS?
[11:09] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I thought since I have the installer on an usb key, I could change it to somehow pick a different resolution & refresh. Something that my screen can sync to.
[11:09] <Akusari> I've created a bugreport today: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/994414 If somebody could set importance to low it would be pleased :-)
[11:09] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: full FS: It was rsynced the original (16GB) SSD
[11:09] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: I'm just having a hard time picturing what you are experiencing. Maybe you could describe it once again?
[11:10] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis:  I had a similar problem a couple days ago, but the most recent update seems to have fixed it. Could you give me a url that crashes so I can test it?
[11:10] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: rsynced from the original ...
[11:10] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: ubuntu should be auto-detecting your screen when lightdm loads (and again at login time actually). There shouldn't be any need to manually set it at all
[11:10] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: ok, but you realize that rsyncing doesn't copy bit-by-bit, right? and thus that any booting information might be put in the wrong place?
[11:11] <foolsh> add1ctus: try using this one, the "trick" is to make X think it has two identical monitors. At least that's what I have to do for my setup.
[11:11] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: why not just do a fresh install on the new SSD?
[11:11] <JonathanEllis> gaelfx: Its no particular url that crashes it. Sometimes it happens randomly. Usually its when I try to login to google services with multiple sign on.
[11:11] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I knew it won't boot in the very first time because no boot record on the new SSD so I "re"installed grub2
[11:11] <foolsh> add1ctus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966671/
[11:11] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: ah, that is a scenario I can't test. The GFW generally makes things like that impossible
[11:11] <foolsh> add1ctus: sorry left out the url
[11:12] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: did you mention something about Twinview before? If you only have 1 monitory, why are you using TwinView?
[11:12] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Because I need that machine and I don't want to reinvent the wheel from the scratch
[11:12] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: and I want in a sort time more 30 machines
[11:13] <Rothron> DrawinSurvivor: From the 64-bit installer iso, I created a bootable usb-key. When I stick it in and boot from it, I first see a low-resolution image of something that looks like a keyboard an equals-sign and circle with a person inside. That lasts for about a second, and then both my monitors report that the signal is out of range.
[11:13] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: do you understand my base task,
[11:13] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: well, clearly rsync isn't going to make this any faster if you can't get it to work on one machine
[11:13] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Why?
[11:13] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: you are trying to make the install process faster by duplicating the install from one machine to 30 others, right?
[11:13] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: My problem is: UUID now
[11:14] <Dr_willis> you can set the uuid of a FS via the tune2fs command, or edit the fstab so it matches.
[11:14] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: maybe will be more like NIC MAC or NIC identify
[11:14] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: you put the iso onto the usb key (using unetbootin or similar), or *installed* ubuntu to the usb key?
[11:14] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Yes
[11:14] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I have two monitors. I'm currently running 11.10 but since I've done major upgrade so many times, I wanted to do a clean install.
[11:14] <dns53> Aruzsi tune2fs /dev/hdb1 -U `uuid`
[11:14] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: did you see what Dr_willis said?
[11:15] <foolsh> add1ctus: Well?
[11:15] <Dr_willis> i dont recall the uuid being an issue when i cloned my installs. but i was going from a 8gb usb to a larger usb for the most part
[11:15] <add1ctus> foolsh: replaced the config with the one you gave me, restarted lightdm, still same.
[11:15] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I used usb-creator-gtk
[11:15] <Aruzsi> dns53: the new UUID is not the problem. The problem is: how can I tell that to GRUB?
[11:15] <JonathanEllis> gaelfx: Update manager is now installing chromium 18.0.1025.168 so hopefully that might fix it
[11:16] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: about what?
[11:16] <gaelfx> JonathanEllis: probably the same update I put on a couple days ago, let me know if it works
[11:16] <_dev0_> Hi all, How can I make the screen brighter? I have a notebook lgp430 and FN Keys Of Laptop Brightness Does Not Work, any idea? I already tried this GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor splash"
[11:16] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: tune2fs
[11:16] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: does it work correctly if you only connect 1 monitor?
[11:16] <dns53> Aruzsi chroot to the partition and run update-grub and get ubuntu to update the grub config?
[11:16] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I'll check it out.
[11:16] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: also, have you verified the integrity of the usb install image?
[11:17] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: what can I do with tune2fs?
[11:17] <DarwinSurvivor> !md5 | Rothron
[11:17] <inashdeen> hi there, how do i convert an AVI format video to AMV video on ubuntu 12.04. thanks
[11:17] <Aruzsi> dns53: I tiried it.
[11:17] <dns53> Aruzsi change the uuid to the old uuid?
[11:17] <Dr_willis> whats an 'amv' video?
[11:17] <Aruzsi> dns53: I tried
[11:17] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: match the UUID to what grub wants
[11:17] <Dr_willis> set the UUID to 000-000-000-000 for everything. ;)
[11:17] <gaelfx> or that :P
[11:17] <foolsh> add1ctus: look at your xorg.conf again and see if it add a second monitor section after a restart
[11:17] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: OK. In which config file???
[11:18] <foolsh> add1ctus: if you notice mine only has the one monitor section
[11:18] <Aruzsi> dns53: UUID is now the old one.
[11:18] <inashdeen> Dr_willis : it is a video format
[11:18] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: I think it's in /etc/default/grub, but I'm not sure
[11:18] <Naemdar> I feel totally stupid now.  The port was negotiating to 1000 half, that was screwing up the performance.  I installed the pci nic and the problem is gone.
[11:18] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: I'm absolutelly sure it isn't there.
[11:18] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,  so i gathered.. but where did it come from?  cant say ive heard of AMV except for 'anime music video'
[11:18] <add1ctus> foolsh : yep, only one monitor, display and screen section
[11:19] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: maybe /etc/grub.d/grub.cfg ?
[11:19] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,  normally one uses ffmpeg, or mencoder. but  the details of what codec and otehr settngs to use is the imporntant part
[11:19] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: but I check again ... I have to boot into systemrescuecd ...
[11:19] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  i thought update-grub rescanned the uuids and set them up
[11:19] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: It matches ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso in http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/MD5SUMS
[11:19] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: totally possible, but it seems he's tried that and it's still not working
[11:19] <inashdeen> Dr_wilis: it is not as popular as AVI or mp4. but here is an example http://soft29.com/amv_converter.html
[11:20] <gaelfx> inashdeen: mkv ftw!
[11:20] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,  when in doubt check the ffmpeg/mencoder faqs and look for presets for winff, and avidemux, and arista
[11:20] <foolsh> add1ctus: could try setting the monitor HorizSync 31.0 - 83.0 and VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 to the benq values and rm ./.nvidia-settings-rc
[11:21] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: sorry, /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[11:21] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: ok, can you reboot with the USB and use the built-in checksum checker to make sure the installer didn't get corrupted while being copied to the USB drive?
[11:21] <inashdeen> Dr_willis : was looking in ffmoeg. apparently ffmpeg doesnt support it
[11:21] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: it is a generated file ...
[11:21] <add1ctus> foolsh : i did set horizsync and vertrefresh, but i get "cannot remove './.nvidia-settings-rc': No such file or directory
[11:22] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,  im suprised anything supports it.. its a closed codec. but  theres some info at --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMV_video_format
[11:22] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: so it will be right for just a test
[11:22] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I could probably, if the menu wasn't out of sync. But I'll try with a single monitor when I'm able.
[11:22] <foolsh> add1ctus: thats ok restart X
[11:22] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,  and its possible that theres some extra ffmpeg options not in the default ffmpeg that would support it.
[11:22] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,   The AMV code has been sent upstream to the main FFmpeg project[5] and the mainline version of FFmpeg now decodes and encodes AMV.
[11:23] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: Thank you for your help.
[11:23] <add1ctus> foolsh : changed, still same.
[11:23] <inashdeen> Dr_willis : still new in ubuntu and not really happy with im seeing. :( btw, thank you
[11:23] <Dr_willis> i used the wikipedia search lense ;)
[11:23] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: no problem. let us know how the reboot goes!
[11:23] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,  demand a refund?
[11:24] <gaelfx> sorry, my battery died
[11:24] <inashdeen> Dr_willis: what does that mean?
[11:24] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: did you find it?
[11:24] <Dr_willis> inashdeen,   i just used a  unity 'lens' to search wikipedia and find the info without ever leaveing unity. ;) nifty feature those lens
[11:24] <foolsh> add1ctus: The thing is, that if use mine http://paste.ubuntu.com/966642/  it should give you what I use which works great
[11:24] <add1ctus> foolsh : so, should i put that one and restart?
[11:25] <foolsh> add1ctus: worth a shot
[11:25] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: in/etc/defaul/grub not consosts of any UUID
[11:26] <add1ctus> foolsh : used the monitor/screen/device sections from there, will restart now
[11:26] <foolsh> add1ctus: I would just dump the whole thing in there a try it verbatuim
[11:27] <Dr_willis> # Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
[11:27] <terminalclient> anyone know how I can SSH into my laptop when it's behind an OpenVPN?
[11:27] <Dr_willis> #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
[11:27] <Dr_willis> makes me wonder how grub sets the root if its not using UUID then,
[11:27] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: did you check /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[11:28] <Dr_willis> wouldent the VPN then need to have some sort of port forwarding enabled same as if the laptop was on a 'real' network?
[11:28] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Yes!
[11:29] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: there is the wrong UUID
[11:29] <foolsh> add1ctus: Well?
[11:29] <add1ctus> foolsh: one of my monitors now shows "mode not supported"..
[11:29] <terminalclient> Dr_willis all port forwarding has been done, but still can't SSH in
[11:29] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: ok, so change the UUID to the one you see there
[11:30] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: for a test?
[11:30] <foolsh> add1ctus: ok change VertRefresh to 60 - 75.0 instead of 60.0 - 85.0
[11:30] <add1ctus> foolsh : i think that they're both around 59 - 75 hz(not 100% sure on which one is 75hz though), and they both support 1280x1024 (at least did in windows)... is it set to those amounts in the config? (not sure if vertrefresh is the refresh rate)
[11:30] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: because any kernel update will rewrite it.
[11:30] <navajo> anyone using openbox?
[11:30] <add1ctus> foolsh : restarting now again
[11:30] <foolsh> add1ctus: you read my mind
[11:31] <navajo> h
[11:31] <foolsh> add1ctus: now?
[11:31] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: check what Dr_willis suggested, uncomment #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true in /etc/default/grub
[11:32] <navajo> exit
[11:32] <jarco> are there standard some lenses on ubuntu?
[11:32] <add1ctus> foolsh : still the same... one on 1280x1024 and one on 1024x768, and i still get the error message
[11:32] <foolsh> add1ctus: dang it
[11:33] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: also I was saying before you should use tune2fs to change the uuid of the drive to match the one you found in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[11:33] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: but no need to do both, I'd try Dr_willis suggestion
[11:33] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: OK
[11:33] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: And I have to reinstall GRUB?
[11:34] <foolsh> add1ctus: I told you, you were way out in the deep water lol
[11:34] <Dr_willis> anytime you change the grub confgs you rereun update-grub and it remakes the grub boot files
[11:35] <add1ctus> foolsh : i know, that's why i came here.. the shallow ones get googled :D
[11:35] <add1ctus> foolsh : wow... i think i have it sorted out, brb for a restart
[11:35] <gauravgrt1> hey how to install latest nvidia drivers for my ubuntu 12.04...how do i find out information abt my hardware so that i can install the proper  drivers...
[11:38] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  that option seem to just change to the   root=/dev/sdb2  syntax:wq
[11:38] <Dr_willis> oops
[11:38] <add1ctus> foolsh : just checked nvidia-settings and the 1280x1024 resolution was available for the both monitors.. i changed it, worked.. i saved the settings to xorg.conf, restarted and it works now flawlessly, but the error message is still here
[11:38] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: I would check if it works without reinstalling first
[11:39] <foolsh> add1ctus: give me link to the error message again
[11:39] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: hmmmm...
[11:39] <add1ctus> foolsh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966666/ the error message is there (but the xorg.conf is different now)
[11:39] <Isumi> hello. why does bugzilla depends on x11-common etc? I thought it was a web-based application
[11:39] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: does it remake /etc/default/grub as well? I thought only /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[11:40] <foolsh> add1ctus: k
[11:40] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: let me see ...
[11:40] <add1ctus> foolsh : or actually , it's a bit different error message this time.. let me restart and pastebin it again
[11:40] <foolsh> add1ctus: al right
[11:40] <Pitel> Can I somehow set Nautilus to show items in more compact view? I want large icon, but I don;t want them to be in grid with large unused space between them.
[11:41] <william_> hello from seoul, s. korea. cinnamon loads but i get these weird errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966729/
[11:41] <gaelfx> Pitel: you might be able to find somet kind of setting in gconf-editor related to that, but I highly doubt it
[11:41] <Pitel> gaelfx: I know it was possible in older version.
[11:42] <gaelfx> Pitel: how did you do it in the older version?
[11:42] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: what is the right command reinstalling grub2? I don't want to use my theory.
[11:42] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[11:42] <gauravgrt1> hey how to install latest nvidia drivers for my ubuntu 12.04...how do i find out information abt my hardware so that i can install the proper  drivers...
[11:42] <Pitel> gaelfx: it was just called "compact view" but it worked different then what it does now.
[11:42] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: sorry, can't remember it off the top of my head, and it takes more than one command to do it I know
[11:43] <add1ctus> foolsh : http://paste.ubuntu.com/966732/
[11:44] <gaelfx> Pitel: different how? to me, it looks like icons in a tight list
[11:44] <foolsh> add1ctus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1563603   says 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' then 'gksudo nvidia-settings' and close nvidia-setting then restart
[11:45] <Pitel> gaelfx: it was like large icon view, but not in the grid, the items was just more "stuffed".
[11:45] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  you edit /etc/default/grub :) so thats where you put the changes it then applies to the grub.cfg
[11:45] <gaelfx> gauravgrt1: install the post-release updates version of the driver found in SystemSettings->Hardware drivers
[11:45] <Slartibart> Is it somehow possible to enable mount for users without sudo, so that they can mount - some - devices? Is pmount the closest?
[11:45] <Rothron> darwinsurvivor: Same thing happened I'm afraid. Just getting som sort of pre-splash screen and then it drops out of sync.
[11:46] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: yeah, but do kernel updates actually re-write the /etc/default/grub settings?
[11:46] <jpds> gaelfx: No.
[11:46] <skulltip> got 3/4 way thru the 12.04 install (unity 2d), and now the system seems frozen with raster across the screen
[11:46] <gaelfx> jpds: thanks
[11:46] <add1ctus> foolsh : tried it, still the same error message
[11:46] <gaelfx> Pitel: sorry, I don't really understand. You wouldn't happen to have a screenshot, would you?
[11:46] <william_> crap, brb, going to buy cereal. still having a cinnamon prob: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966729/
[11:47] <foolsh> add1ctus: ok also it says in your homedir look for the .config dir rename the file called monitors.xml. Logout, login
[11:47] <Pitel> gaelfx: looking for it...
[11:47] <virpara> hello
[11:48] <virpara> i got an error
[11:48] <virpara> http://pastebin.com/9mBVTRwm
[11:48] <virpara> how to get rid of that
[11:48] <KM0201> virpara: what were you installing, and how were you installing it?
[11:48] <Pitel> gaelfx: http://martin.ankerl.com/files/compact8.10.gif this
[11:48] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  it shouldent. without asking at least.. now a grub2 update could ask to change the file and revert to package mainteners default and so forth
[11:49] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: after chroot the grub-install /dev/sda doesn't do anything
[11:49] <foolsh> add1ctus: did you get my last message?
[11:49] <virpara> i am compiling osd lyrics 0.4.2
[11:49] <add1ctus> foolsh : yes, i did.. trying to figure out how to rename files through terminal though :D
[11:49] <KM0201> Pitel: why does that GIF keep jumping like that?
[11:49] <foolsh> add1ctus: mv ./oldfile ./newfile
[11:49] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi,  if you do it right - you dont need to chroot. grub-install has options where chrooting is not needed
[11:50] <Pitel> KM0201: dunno, but both frames have the layout I want
[11:50] <add1ctus> foolsh : done.. should i do the nvidia steps again?
[11:50] <add1ctus> foolsh : or just restart?
[11:50] <skulltip> maybe i should try the alt installer, is that text based?
[11:50] <Pitel> KM0201: i couldn't find any bether screenshot. all have the grid layout I don;t want :)
[11:50] <tim__b> hi, i'm having trouble installing wine on ubuntu 12.04 64bit using the repo (official and ppa), there's trouble
[11:50] <foolsh> add1ctus: just restart I hope
[11:50] <tim__b> with the gettext packages
[11:50] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: did you try changing the SSD's UUID with tune2fs? or uncommenting the line in /etc/default/grub?
[11:50] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: I'm absolutelly not sure I did right.
[11:51] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: grub.cfg wasn't changed ...
[11:51] <gaelfx> !problem | tim__b
[11:51] <gaelfx> er.. oops
[11:51] <gaelfx> !details | tim__b
[11:51] <add1ctus> foolsh : i love you sir. everything is as it should be finally
[11:51] <foolsh> add1ctus: awesome now I'm out
[11:52] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi,  if your system to fix is mounted at '/media/fixme'  then a command similer to --> sudo  grub-install --boot-directory=/media/fixme' i THINK will reinstall grub to that hd.
[11:53] <Dr_willis> actually it may be --boot-directory=/media/fixme/boot  (im not sure) rereading the docs
[11:53] <heikoheikoheiko> I want to list all files in the current directory and all subdirs recursively and sort them by size. can ls do that? the manpage mentions -R --recursive, but doesn't go into detail. it tried ls -RlhS, but that sorts for each dir individually.
[11:54] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi,  theres also a gui boot-repair utility
[11:54] <tim__b> so again: i'm having package conflicts trying to install wine (tried ppa and offical repo) using aptitude on an ubuntu 12.04 64bit installation, here's a pastbin with the aptitude output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966752/
[11:54] <dwq> Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64 with Unity. I locked the screen, and now when I got back I see the mouse but everything else is black. I wrote my password and the mouse shows that there's text underneath so I guess it got unlocked, but still , everything except for the mouse is black.
[11:54] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: I think it is not enough
[11:54] <Dr_willis> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[11:55] <dwq> Is there any process I should kill so it restarts and maybe I'll be able to see something?
[11:55] <jrib> tim__b: read the release notes about aptitude and multi-arch
[11:55] <jrib> !notes | tim__b
[11:56] <Slartibart> 'which mount' says '/bin/mount'. So why do I get 'mount: only root can do that' even after adding '%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/mount' to /etc/sudoers?The user is an admin group member.
[11:56] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi --> sudo  grub-install --boot-directory=/media/fixme/boot has worked for me in the past.   no need to chroot
[11:56] <Guest19922> I just downloaded and installed ubuntu studio 11.x (latest) and then upgraded to 12.04 when it was released.  Now it takes xfce like 20 seconds to load past the login window's background screen and actually start the desktop environment.  It was almost instant with the last version.  What's up with that?
[11:56] <Guest19922> and it takes forever to log out, too.
[11:56] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: It is grub2!
[11:56] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi, grub-install is for grub2
[11:57] <Guest19922> I'm talking 25-30 sec.  I'm running 6 gigs ram.. there's no excuse for this.
[11:57] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: I think I confused the system. There are grub and grub2 dir!!!!
[11:57] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi,  you some how installed grub1? :) not sure about that.
[11:57] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: sorry missed you comment up there.
[11:57] <Dr_willis> but when you have grub2 the commands basically setup aliass from the old grub1 commands to the newer grub2 commands
[11:57] <tim__b> thanks, jrib, should fix my problems :)
[11:57] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: so it's not even working with just 1 monitor attached?
[11:58] <Rothron> It behaves exactly the same as when I had two monitors connected.
[11:58] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: you said before that you had no troubles with cloning systems, how did you clone them?
[11:58] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: the two dirs are absolutelly different!
[11:58] <craigbass1976> Did something cups-ish change in 12.04?  localhost:631 doesn't bring me anywhere, and I expected the cups config
[11:58] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  i just dd'd the flash drive to a bigger flash and  booted it. and reran gparted to resize the existing pariton i belive.
[11:58] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: I mean, did you use rsync or what?
[11:58] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: is it usable enough to run tests on or is the display completely useless?
[11:58] <jrib> craigbass1976: upgrade or fresh install?  Works for me but I did an upgrade
[11:58] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  just used dd and gparted i recall.. been a while.
[11:58] <craigbass1976> jrib, fresh
[11:59] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: thanks, I'm an idiot and never would have realized that that's the way to do it
[11:59] <jrib> craigbass1976: I can't comment then :)
[11:59] <gaelfx> Dr_willis: would cat work as well?
[11:59] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: It's an LCD so unless it gets something it can sync to it shows nothing. Just the message box.
[11:59] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: I'm very creative but now I'm confused at all. Which command, which cfg, which generates which one, etc.
[11:59] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: If I had a CRT I could probably get something, but those are hard to come by these days.
[11:59] <craigbass1976> jrib, oh, come on.  You can comment.  Come up with a good one.  I'll take funny over correct most days.  :)
[11:59] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: darn, sometime's they'll kind of "pan" around :(
[12:00] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: would you be opposed to trying to clone the other drive again?
[12:00] <Dr_willis> gaelfx,  one neat trick was if i moved the new copy pendrive to a 2nd pc.. (so one pc didenthave 2 pen drives with the same uuids) i could boot that pc. run update-grub and it would see the pendriveinstall. so IF i had any issues i could use that pc to boot the pendrive and try to fix things.
[12:00] <Rothron> DarwinSurvivor: Maybe if I try VGA instead of DVI.
[12:00] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: worth a shot
[12:00] <Dr_willis> Aruzsi,  you could be testing this out in virtualbox. :) save some time.
[12:00] <Dr_willis> brb
[12:00] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: Does it mean go back totally?
[12:00] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: I'd also try completely formatting the USB drive and recreating it to make sure it's not corrupted.
[12:01] <JasseT> hello folks, is anyone else here having issues with IM's, both empathy and pidgin, that they keep disconnecting from gtalk and fb chat?
[12:01] <jrib> craigbass1976: something cats in hats something something?  heh, check that you have "Listen localhost:631" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
[12:01] <Aruzsi> Dr_willis: Yes, you're right but I thought it would be shorter.
[12:01] <heikoheikoheiko> Is there any system about what is put in "Accessories" and what in "System"? why is firelight in Acessories and baobab in System? both do the same.
[12:01] <blurp> I've been waiting for over two minutes for gnome to load on this box... what's wrong?  It's been like this ever since the update to 12.04.
[12:02] <yeats> JasseT: I am not having that problem if it helps you troubleshoot (with pidgin on multiple installations of 12.04)
[12:02] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: http://askubuntu.com/questions/2724/best-way-to-clone-an-installation-copying-to-identical-hardware
[12:02] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: I think you should either use clonezilla or, more simply, use dd to copy the first install to the second hard drive
[12:03] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: but I will tell you that I think rsync is not really meant to do what you're using it to do
[12:03] <JasseT> yeats: just figured I'd ask around a bit before looking in to it
[12:03] <JasseT> to see how common of an issue it is
[12:03] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: what is the problem with rsync?
[12:03] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: except booting?
[12:04] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: rsync is just for creating copies of files in different locations, not so much for cloning drives
[12:05] <inashdeen> Dr_willis: apparently found a quick fix here. http://bytessence.com/bmpxc.html. the linux version produce ffmpeg error. but the windows version works on wine
[12:05] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: sorry, but unfortunately I have to go now
[12:06] <craigbass1976> jrib, are there any new security measures in 12.04 that might be getting in my way?  I believe I saw selinux somewhere, and I remember how fun that used to be back on Fedora 3 or 4
[12:06] <isnnnn> what is the best way to make a disk image before upgrading to 12.04?
[12:06] <Aruzsi> gaelfx: cloning is my problem. old UUID != new one.
[12:06] <isnnnn> dd or is there a faster way?
[12:06] <william_> I'm having a problem with Cinnamon on Ubuntu 12.04. Cinnamon loads but I get these errors in Terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/966729/
[12:06] <jrib> craigbass1976: don't know.  Have you checked if cupsd is actually running? (ps -ef | grep cupsd)
[12:06] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: If VGA doesn't work, all I can think of is trying an onboard output (if your motherboard has any) or maybe usind a cd instead of a usb (but that's a long shot)
[12:06] <craigbass1976> jrib, says it is
[12:06] <iceroot> Aruzsi: then change to the new uuid
[12:06] <DarwinSurvivor> Rothron: so long
[12:06] <gaelfx> Aruzsi: is there any reason you can't give dd a try? Because currently, we've gotten nowhere and taken a long time getting there
[12:06] <iceroot> Aruzsi: blkid will show you the new uuid
[12:06] <jrib> craigbass1976: netstat -lnp | grep 631   shows it listening on the right port?
[12:07] <craigbass1976> jrib, nothing... hrmmm
[12:08] <gaelfx> iceroot: he's trying to clone an install using rsync
[12:08] <craigbass1976> jrib, unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     19842    816/cupsd           /var/run/cups/cups.sock is without the grepping
[12:08] <gaelfx> iceroot: and he wants to do this 30 or so more times after this
[12:09] <iceroot> gaelfx: if i am correct his issue is "after cloning the uuid is not the same to the system will not start"
[12:09] <Aruzsi> iceroot: Yes
[12:09] <iceroot> gaelfx: fix = blkid and edit /etc/fstab
[12:10] <Aruzsi> iceroot: fstab is empty and system complaining
[12:10] <iceroot> Aruzsi: then create one
[12:10] <gaelfx> iceroot: fair enough
[12:10] <iceroot> !fstab | Aruzsi
[12:10] <Aruzsi> iceroot: why?  Now when rebooting I get Busybox shell after decrypting the main harddrive. Can someone help me out here? Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64.
[12:10] <iceroot> Aruzsi: then file one
[12:10] <gauravgrt1> i have installed when i see the 'additional drivers' it says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"...can anyone tell me why is that
[12:10] <Aruzsi> iceroot: and don't forget: it is working on the original machine!
[12:11] <iceroot> Aruzsi: i am not sure if grub is storing the uuid to in some configs
[12:11] <gauravgrt1> i have installed ubuntu 12.04  on my laptop when i see the 'additional drivers' it says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"...can anyone tell me why is that
[12:11] <jrib> craigbass1976: and you said you had "Listen 631" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf?  Have you tried restarting the cups service and looking for interesting output?  Looks like cups logs to /var/log/cups/, check that out too
[12:11] <iceroot> Aruzsi: if that is the case, change to the new uuid there
[12:11] <Aruzsi> iceroot: then how can I cahnge it????
[12:12] <iceroot> Aruzsi: editor like gedit or vi
[12:12] <iceroot> Aruzsi: and the new value is shown by "blkid"
[12:13] <olbaidiablo> Anybody running 12.04 on a netbook?
[12:13] <Aruzsi> iceroot: not how. where? permanently. Somehow Ubuntu found it in install time.
[12:13] <gaelfx> olbaidiablo: yes, what's your question?
[12:13] <iceroot> Aruzsi: or just run "sudo update-grub2" imo its reading the new uuid also
[12:14] <olbaidiablo> Just finding it kinda slow
[12:14] <Gosset_Inofensiu> hi, i would like to change the language in lightdm, isn't there the possibility?
[12:14] <gaelfx> olbaidiablo: what netbook are you using?
[12:14] <Aruzsi> iceroot: update-grub2 in the chrooted env?
[12:14] <gaelfx> olbaidiablo: also, you do know that netbooks are generally slower
[12:14] <Aruzsi> iceroot: it sounds well
[12:14] <olbaidiablo> Acer aspire one zsu 150
[12:15] <iceroot> Aruzsi: if /boot is mounted there you can of course run the update htere
[12:15] <qwd> How can I edit fstab and crypttab from Busybox shell?
[12:15] <gaelfx> qwd: nano?
[12:15] <olbaidiablo> True... But I had been running easy peasy for a while with no prob
[12:15] <zig> Anybody know how i can get my ftp user to be able to edit remote files? Say from within an IDE? Im  positive it has to do with user/group perms
[12:15] <qwd> gaelfx: Busybox doesn
[12:15] <qwd> t seem to have nano
[12:16] <gaelfx> qwd: vim?
[12:16] <Aruzsi> iceroot: ok. Some minutes.
[12:16] <qwd> gaelfx: no
[12:16] <gaelfx> qwd: divine will?
[12:17] <olbaidiablo> I was just wondering if it was unity. Or if I should change to lubuntu
[12:17] <gaelfx> olbaidiablo: you'll probalby notice lubuntu is a lot snappier, yeah
[12:18] <olbaidiablo> I'll have to try that... Thanks
[12:18] <gaelfx> olbaidiablo: it also might take a while to adjust to the gui, but it could be worth it. It does feel like there's a bit more space in lubuntu desktop
[12:18] <zig> Anybody know how i can configure my user to be able to edit remote files from ftp? Im positive its problems with users/groups permissions.
[12:18] <Gosset_Inofensiu> lightdm doesn't allow you to choose the session language?!?!?
[12:18] <blurp> is lubuntu just ubuntu with lxde?
[12:18] <gaelfx> blurp: yes
[12:18] <Gosset_Inofensiu> blurp yes
[12:18] <Pici> blurp: yes
[12:18] <blurp> so..  every time you change desktop environments you're changing distros..  lol
[12:19] <gaelfx> olbaidiablo: you know you can just install lubuntu-desktop package and select that session from the login, right?
[12:19] <Gosset_Inofensiu> can anybody answer my question please?
[12:19] <gaelfx> blurp: lubuntu is still ubuntu, you're just changing DE's
[12:19] <blurp> gaelfx, I was just getting to that point :)
[12:19] <craigbass1976> blurp, yes, be careful.  There's xpubuntu that installs windows.  :)
[12:19] <blurp> haha
[12:19] <gaelfx> Gosset_Inofensiu: restate the question
[12:20] <blurp> well, I run ubuntu studioi with xfce.. is that xubuntu studio?
[12:20] <blurp> lol
[12:20] <zig> Does anybody have a moment to check into my question before i leave?
[12:20] <zig> I hate my 9-5
[12:20] <gaelfx> craigbass1976: I think I had a nightmare like that once. There's actually a Chinese made version of Linux designed to look almost exactly like windows xp, down to the default wallpaper
[12:21] <gaelfx> it makes me physically ill
[12:21] <taxman> hehe
[12:21] <cookiemon5ter> zig, just add yourself to the group and give yourself permissions
[12:21] <jrib> zig: well, what files?  Can the user edit them if logged in through ssh or locally on the computer?
[12:21] <blurp> Actually, I have the 'lubuntu' theme and an 'lxde' theme, and the lubuntu theme is basically the same, but seems much cleaner, graphically.  lxde alone seems to have different fonts and such, but seems a little faster than lubuntu.
[12:21] <zig> Yes if i use vi through ssh
[12:21] <Gosset_Inofensiu> lightdm doesn't allow you to choose the session language?!?!?
[12:22] <zig> I need to use Coda on a mac.
[12:22] <taxman> the font is never an issue for me. i always use my own gold font collections
[12:22] <gaelfx> blurp: you should try installing openbox. it's wild
[12:23] <blurp> I'm about to uninstall some session managers, lol. got too many.
[12:23] <blurp> I have no use for gnome, even with 6 gigs of ram.
[12:23] <taxman> it's combine all best fonts on mac, linux, bsd and windows
[12:23] <blurp> I'm using enlightenment on bodhi atm.  It's awesome.  1.6 ghz, 1 gig of ram, and flashy AND snappy all at once.  It's really impressed me.
[12:24] <blurp> I've been meaning to try openbox.
[12:24] <taxman> i got kicked on #bodhi
[12:24] <gaelfx> craigbass1976: http://www.ylmf.org/
[12:24] <blurp> haha, why?
[12:24] <taxman> because they are borgs
[12:24] <qwd> Please take this to offtopic, some of us are here for support,
[12:24] <taxman> e17 looks like a xxxx on bodhi
[12:25] <blurp> I've tried like 20 distros on this little lappy in the last 3 weeks, and bodhi is the only one that looks decent, supports my hardware, AND didn't give me hell trying to install it from usb.
[12:25] <blurp> okay, I'm done.
[12:26] <qwd> I manually edited crypttab, fstab and maybe something else to add a second harddrive. Now when rebooting I get Busybox shell after decrypting the main harddrive. Can someone help me out here? Perhaps I need to edit fstab and crypttab again but I don't know how to from BusyBox. Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64.
[12:26] <Aruzsi> iceroot: It seems working!!!! :-D
[12:26] <Aruzsi> iceroot: System was booted!
[12:26] <taherAbdo> hi there , i want to burn an OS image on a CD , how?
[12:27] <blurp> is anyone else having issues with the update to 12.04 making logging in/out take 100x as long?
[12:27] <gaelfx> !iso | taherAbdo
[12:27] <Aruzsi> iceroot: and grub.cfg was re-generated for new UUID
[12:27] <gaelfx> oops, sorry
[12:27] <gaelfx> !burning | taherAbdo
[12:27] <iceroot> Aruzsi: great
[12:27] <blurp> or he could be using windows..
[12:27] <taherAbdo> gaelfx : yes iso
[12:28] <iceroot> Aruzsi: as you see, for every problem there is a fix :)
[12:28] <gaelfx> taherAbdo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[12:28] <blurp> if so, google 'iso burning software free' and download something.  Then use it.
[12:28] <gaelfx> blurp: that;s what the howto is for, it covers burning in Windows
[12:29] <shlunk> hi all
[12:29] <blurp> I'm new here.
[12:29] <blurp> I just like to encourage googling simple stuff whenever possible :D
[12:29] <gaelfx> blurp: no worries
[12:30] <zig> How may I reply to someone on here like you guys do me? So that you see red LOL
[12:30] <jrib> zig: just write their nick in the front (you can use tab for completion)
[12:30] <craigbass1976> zig, type their name
[12:30] <iceroot> zig: just write the nick infront of the text
[12:30] <iceroot> !tab | zig
[12:30] <blurp> it's called a highlight.
[12:30] <gaelfx> blurp: I personally try to avoid it since those who know how to do it probably already have, and those who don't know how to do it probably won't bother
[12:30] <craigbass1976> zig must be seeing red about now...
[12:30] <shlunk> i'm on 10.10, and when i run update-manager, it only gives me the option of upgrading to 11.04
[12:30] <zig> Agghh hah!
[12:30] <zig> YES
[12:30] <shlunk> but that doesn't let me upgrade
[12:30] <craigbass1976> heh
[12:30] <gaelfx> !eol | shlunk
[12:30] <zig> craigbass1976: yes
[12:30] <zig> jrib: yes
[12:31] <zig> iceroot: THanks guys.
[12:31] <Aruzsi> iceroot: Yes! And thanks for everybody who tried to help me solving this. I'm documenting it step-by-step for the next time.
[12:31] <gaelfx> shlunk: 10.10 is at it's End of Life, there will be no more updates to it ever again
[12:31] <shlunk> will it not allow me to upgrade at all??
[12:32] <shlunk> that's a bit disappointing :(
[12:32] <jrib> shlunk: upgrade to 11.04
[12:32] <gaelfx> shlunk: you can upgrade to 11.04, 11.10 or 12.04 at the moment
[12:32] <shlunk> it won't allow me to do that, to any newer version
[12:32] <jrib> shlunk: why not?
[12:32] <gaelfx> shlunk: though most people will tell you it's best to do a fresh install of the newer version
[12:32] <shlunk> firstly, it only offers 11.04 as an upgrade path
[12:32] <rothron> DrawinSurvivor: or the autodetection works better.
[12:32] <shlunk> but when i try that, it fails
[12:32] <jrib> shlunk: yes, you need to upgrade to 11.04 first
[12:33] <jrib> shlunk: fails how?
[12:33] <drvanon> hey guys, i am have installed windows xp on my virual box and everything is working fine but the registration is failing me. I have internet connection but it doesn't detect it, altough i can go to google.com
[12:33] <shlunk> i'm just trying it so i can paste the error it gives
[12:33] <gaelfx> drvanon: I think you need #virtualbox. This here is for ubuntu support
[12:34] <gaelfx> (is that the right room name?)
[12:34] <drvanon> okay
[12:34] <shlunk> upgrading to 11.04 seems to crash while "setting new software channels"
[12:34] <jrib> gaelfx, drvanon: #vbox (not sure if #virtualbox will also get you there)
[12:35] <gaelfx> jrib: thanks
[12:35] <jrib> shlunk: what does "seems to crash" mean?
[12:35] <gaelfx> jrib: it will
[12:35] <shlunk> jrib: so far it's hanging - in the past, it has crashed
[12:35] <blurp> as in the same thing xchat does when I try to get a full chan list on this server
[12:36] <blurp> ...
[12:36] <shlunk> i don't have a record of the error that appeared
[12:36] <rothron> DarwinSurvivor: I'm up and running on 12.04 now. Either my monitor is more liberal about what it accepts in the VGA or the autodetection works better.
[12:36] <ruman> hello every one...
[12:37] <jrib> shlunk: did you make sure you were up to date on 11.10 first?  Did you follow the directions on the wiki?
[12:37] <jrib> !upgrade > shlunk
[12:37] <LinuxMonkey> Anyone know of a good streaming server? I got a popcorn hour machine and I need it to be able to access video's on this system
[12:37] <shlunk> 10.10 is up to date, yes
[12:38] <jrib> shlunk: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list*
[12:38] <gaelfx> LinuxMonkey: I'm not sure about streaming, but I'm enjoying NFS as a way of watching movies from one computer on another
[12:38] <taxman> wait... i think 10.10 is end-of-life at 10/2011
[12:38] <jrib> taxman: it's eol yes
[12:38] <gaelfx> taxman: you mean was
[12:38] <zamba> i have a problem with raid-1 on ubuntu.. after every boot, the raid is degraded and assembled at /dev/md0_0 instead of assembling it at /dev/md0
[12:38] <shlunk> ok, this is the error i get when upgrading:
[12:38] <shlunk> An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
[12:38] <zamba> how can i permanently fix this?
[12:38] <shlunk> E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[12:38] <iceroot> taxman: 18 month later
[12:39] <shlunk> here's my sources.list:
[12:39] <shlunk> http://pastebin.com/1xw72hfy
[12:40] <aleksandar> hi all I updated to latest version but printscn aint working now - it just clicks but screenshot application isn't called obviously
[12:40] <jrib> shlunk: please go read the wiki about upgrading your version
[12:40] <aleksandar> is there any patch or guid how to fix this ?
[12:40] <jrib> shlunk: wait -- those are natty repositories but you're on maverick
[12:41] <craigbass1976> shlunk, yes, read it well.  I'm finishing up a borked lucid to precise at the moment.  It went horribly wrong.  I'm not sure what I missed on the wiki, and don't care at this point, but I wish I'd have been paying closer attention.
[12:41] <blurp> sounds like somebody herped when they shoulda derped.
[12:41] <ruman> anyone please ,tell me the name of any Dialer for call center which can work on ISDN
[12:42] <craigbass1976> ruman, wvdial is the only dialer I've ever played with, but that was on a regular phone line
[12:42] <shlunk> hmm, ok, my sources.list has just changed  - seems to have maverisk repos now
[12:43] <gaelfx> I really think fresh installs are the way to go. If you make a separate /home partition and then set up the application backups in Software Center, it should make things incredibly easier, especially when migrating to a new machine
[12:43] <sabert> is there any irc support in pidgin
[12:43] <gaelfx> sabert: yes
[12:43] <sabert> thanks
[12:43] <fidel_> sabert: #pidgin ?
[12:43] <gaelfx> sabert: but I prefer irssi
[12:43] <shlunk> ha
[12:43] <qwd> Ubuntu 12.04. In busybox after editing crypttab and fstab. Trying to edit fstab and crypttab from busybox, don't know how. Any advice?
[12:43] <fidel_> misread
[12:43] <shlunk> the upgrader is changing my sources.list, and then leaving it incorrect when it dies
[12:44] <shlunk> bloody thing
[12:44] <taxman> what's gwibber for? anyone knows?
[12:44] <gaelfx> shlunk: I don't think anything can fix its mistakes after it dies
[12:45] <gaelfx> !info gwibber | taxman
[12:46] <ruman> craigbass1976: means we can not run any dialer server on ubuntu server with PRI(ISDN)
[12:46] <meraj> hey any body can tell me,how to check internet speed for laptpp through gprs connection?
[12:46] <jrib> shlunk: did you put the repositories that the wiki tells you to?
[12:47] <meraj> wawowe_ hw to check internet speed for gprs connection?
[12:48] <taxman> is gprs still alive?
[12:48] <meraj> ya.
[12:48] <taxman> not in here
[12:49] <taxman> we use 3g/4g nowadays
[12:49] <aleprovencio> hello guys, I'm trying to use an apple keyboard on linux and would like to know if there is any way i can swap my *right* command and option keys as I do for their left correspondents with "setxkbmap -option altwin:swap_lalt_lwin"
[12:49] <taxman> wi-max is dead too
[12:50] <ruman> is any dialer software is available for ubuntu for ISDN line  for call centers (Calling purpose )
[12:51] <wrinkliez> anyone know why my system monitor stopped showing all processes?  now it only shows, like 2 at a time, and it keeps adding and removing the 2 that i do see
[12:51] <halidy> hii
[12:51] <nir> how can i configure sound
[12:51] <jrib> aleprovencio: have you checked for other options in altwin?
[12:51] <nir> latency ?
[12:52] <fidel_> wrinkliez: does top/htop in terminal shows a different list of processes?
[12:52] <fidel_> they should for sure ;)
[12:53] <jrib> aleprovencio: you can read /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/altwin and see if any of the other options do what you want (or you can see how the left is swapped and do the same for the right)
