[00:19] <oli_> how do i uninstall firefox fullly
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> oli_: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox*
[00:22] <oli_> the package list could not be parsed or opened
[00:23] <antukin> oli sudo apt-get purge firefox
[00:24] <Dr_willis> that will NOT remove yoru users firefox settings...
[00:25] <oli_> dr willis that command didn't work anyway
[00:25] <Dr_willis> Oli,  clarify what dident work.. and what you were expecting..
[00:25] <[1]ichi> hi all
[00:25] <oli_> sudo: Can't open /var/lib/sudo/ol1v33r/0: Read-only file system W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/ E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[00:25] <[1]ichi> got a problem here
[00:25] <antukin> remove --purge is the same as purge
[00:26] <[1]ichi> i wanna use SliM and Openbox
[00:26] <Dr_willis> sounds like you got deeperissues oli_
[00:26] <oli_> i definately do but i have know idea how to fix them
[00:26] <oli_> i tried to upgrade to ubuntu 12 and it wouldnt
[00:26] <[1]ichi> installed both but when i try to login through SliM, Openbox doesn't work
[00:27] <Dr_willis> read only filesystem = your fs may need fscked.. or the hd is having issues.
[00:27] <antukin> [1]ichi: F1 to cyvcle thru session and select openbox
[00:27] <Dr_willis> [1]ichi,  does it work with lightdm?
[00:28] <[1]ichi> oh, and if i press ctrl-F1 and i type "sudo startx" it works..
[00:29] <[1]ichi> that's the strange thing
[00:29] <Dr_willis> [1]ichi,  why are you using 'sudo startx' and not 'startx'
[00:30] <antukin> [1]ichi: you don't need t slim to use openbox.  gdm I use which is better
[00:30] <[1]ichi> if i use startx it doesn't start XD
[00:30] <[1]ichi> i know but gdm it's not customizable like slim
[00:30] <Dr_willis> [1]ichi,  any error messages?
[00:30] <Dr_willis> Like you really need to customize the login screen.. you see it for all of like 10 sec :)
[00:31] <[1]ichi> yes, but i'm not on the netbook running it now, so i can't do a copy-paste .__.
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> [1]ichi: slim is great :)
[00:31] <TheSongWriter01> hello I'm new here
[00:31] <[1]ichi> d3v1an7? LOL that's my old nickname XD
[00:31] <[1]ichi> ActionParsnip, i know, it is ;)
[00:32] <d3v1an7> Like, from 2003?
[00:32] <jen> hey i cannot get into my router from typing in my ip address password
[00:32] <jen> err no my ip address
[00:32] <TheSongWriter01> help, a tutorial please
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> jen: can you ping the IP address?
[00:32] <[1]ichi> d3v1an7, from  the far '99 XD
[00:32] <jen> ping?
[00:32] <Dr_willis> !manual | TheSongWriter01
[00:32] <d3v1an7> Hahaha, you win then :)
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> TheSongWriter01: tutorial for what?
[00:32] <Dr_willis> jen,  the ping command pings an ip# to show its alive
[00:32] <d3v1an7> Sorry for stealing :)
[00:33] <[1]ichi> oh nothing
[00:33] <TheSongWriter01> install java on linux
[00:33] <[1]ichi> it was a good nickname ;)
[00:33] <jen> Dr_willis, i don't know what that means, usually i can log into actiontec
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> TheSongWriter01: I use: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html   works well
[00:33] <Dr_willis> !java | TheSongWriter01
[00:34] <Dr_willis> the webupd8 guide works well ;)
[00:34] <TheSongWriter01> Dr_willis thanks!!
[00:34] <antukin> Jen you type not your ip address but the ip address of your router
[00:34] <tr3nton> http://askubuntu.com/questions/55848/how-do-i-install-oracle-java-jdk-7
[00:35] <jen> antukin, how do i aquire this?
[00:35] <jen> acquire*
[00:35] <antukin> most router has <IP_ADDRESS> or 1.0 or 1.1
[00:35] <antukin> depens on your router
[00:35] <Dr_willis> time to check the routers docs. :)
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> antukin: some use <IP_ADDRESS>/24 as well
[00:36] <jen> well i just want to know what mine is
[00:36] <antukin> ActionParsnip: these are private ip addresss mostly enterprises
[00:36] <jen> is there something i can type in somewhere?
[00:36] <SecretFire> whats the terminal command to run distribution upgrade
[00:36] <jen> brb
[00:36] <Dr_willis> jen,  start with determining the pcs ip.
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> antukin: yes, both fall into the standard range :)
[00:37] <jen> brb
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | SecretFire
[00:37] <PhatTony> ActionParsnip, Those are old school class c
[00:37] <PhatTony> range
[00:37] <PhatTony> But, thats no longer needed since classless subnetting
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> PhatTony: still works and is standard, you can also use <IP_ADDRESS>/16   all comply with RFC1918
[00:38] <Dr_willis> brand new router here defauled to using 192.168.1.x
[00:38] <PhatTony> ActionParsnip, Yes, it still applies but not necessary
[00:39] <designbybeck_> Gparted question, I deleted the other partiion, I have 181gb of unacclloated space... But I don't know how to give it to the other partion?
[00:39] <designbybeck_> It iwll not let me drag it bigger than the space it has on my second partiion
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> PhatTony: they are equally good to use
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck_: is the partition mounted?
[00:39] <Dr_willis> designbybeck_,  enlarge the other partition.. (back up inporntant data first thats on it)  is one a prinary and other inside an extended?
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck_: and it if it swap, have you ran swapoff ?
[00:39] <designbybeck_> no it isn't ActionParsnip
[00:39] <Dr_willis> designbybeck_,  are they next to each other?
[00:40] <designbybeck_> yes all data is backedup Dr_willis
[00:40] <Dr_willis> designbybeck_,  a pastebin of 'sudo fdisk -l' may help
[00:40] <designbybeck_> it is sda2 extended?
[00:40] <NiKon> what is git
[00:40] <Dr_willis> sda2 should be a primary also.
[00:40] <Dr_willis> !git
[00:40] <designbybeck_> and then it has sda6 inside it which is the one i'm trying to make bigger
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck_: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network
[00:40] <jen> i am back, how do i log into my actiontec router? I need to block people from getting on my network
[00:41] <Dr_willis> designbybeck_,  and where are you getting  the sda6 space  from
[00:41] <Dr_willis> jen,  http://the.ip.of.yoyur.router
[00:42] <jen> Dr_willis, umm that didnt work
[00:42] <designbybeck_>         crap i don't have a way to hook that one to the net right now to upload screen shot Dr_willis
[00:42]  * Dr_willis wonders where sda5 went
[00:42] <PhatTony> jen:  Does your router have the mac or security capabilities?
[00:42] <Dr_willis> jen,  details would be helpfill as to as what it did do...
[00:42] <designbybeck_> let me sneaker network it
[00:42] <jen> it did nothing
[00:42] <Dr_willis> jen,  and you really should be checking your routers docs..
[00:42] <jen> Dr_willis, I dont know how to do that
[00:43] <jen> oh wait a second like underneath xD
[00:43] <PhatTony> jen: Whats the make and manufacture of your router?
[00:43] <Dr_willis> how to check the docs?  read its manual? check the routers homepage?
[00:43] <jen> actiontec
[00:43] <PhatTony> Never heard of it
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> jen: if you run:  netstat -nr | awk 'BEGIN {while ($3!="<IP_ADDRESS>") getline; print $2}'
[00:43] <PhatTony> But, usually its <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:43] <PhatTony> <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:43] <jen> Dr_willis, and how would I check the homepage, i ussually just type in my IP address into the adress bar
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> jen: it will show you your gateway IP, this is the router's internal IP
[00:43] <PhatTony> <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:44] <PhatTony> jen: Open a terminal window
[00:44] <PhatTony> and enter
[00:44] <Dr_willis> jen,   what ip exactly? You check the homepage.. by opening up a browser.. and looking for the router makers homepage....
[00:44] <PhatTony> the following
[00:44] <PhatTony> ifconfig
[00:44] <jen> no i googled it real quick lol
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> jen: the command I gave when ran in terminal, shows the router's IP.
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> jen: no 'googling' needed
[00:45] <FreezingCold> How easy is multiseat-wizard-bicefalo?
[00:45] <FreezingCold> I've been thinking of doing that for the family computer
[00:45] <jen> last time I trusted someone on here my computer shut down -.-
[00:46]  * Dr_willis isent really sure how this is  ubuntu support related... and if your router is letting people in by default.. id suggest a better brand router next time...
[00:49] <designbybeck_> Dr_willis: ActionParsnip sorry had to take it with my phone: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/34919
[00:49] <designbybeck_> not sure yo ucan see it
[00:50] <Dr_willis> you have to resize sda2 first.. i belive.. then  resize the sda6
[00:50] <designbybeck_> Dr_willis:  when I slect sda2 everything else grays out
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck_: You'll need to expand the extended partition, then extend the logical partition into that
[00:50] <Dr_willis> or just copy everything from sda6 to where sda1 was. :) remake the partition, then delete the ones below it. and just have sda1 and swap.
[00:51] <Dr_willis> its weird that sda5 is below sda6 also.
[00:51] <designbybeck_> ActionParsnip:  I can't drag that extented
[00:51] <Dr_willis> notice the Lock keys? i think swap is in use..
[00:51] <designbybeck_> oh i see that Dr_willis
[00:51] <designbybeck_> do i just click swaapoff?
[00:52] <Dr_willis> try it and see. ;)
[00:52] <Dr_willis> i always do this sort of work from a Live Gparted CD.
[00:52] <FreezingCold> jen: what did you type?
[00:52] <jen> hault something
[00:53] <jen> or jus thault
[00:53] <jen> hault*
[00:53] <jen> iconfig
[00:53] <designbybeck_> That did it boys! Thanks Dr_willis and ActionParsnip... Partitions always scare me, but I'm slowly learning!!
[00:53] <jen> oops
[00:55] <FreezingCold> jen: did not follow
[00:57] <naryfa> Does anyone know how to make updatedb constantly scan for file changes so that when I have to use "locate" after moving files around, I don't have to manually updatedb each time? Is something like that even possible?
[01:01] <escott> naryfa, no updatedb is not an online file database
[01:01] <naryfa> escott: is there an alternative I could use?
[01:02] <naryfa> escott: if you happen to know, of course
[01:05] <hats> hey everyone. I'm trying to download all .rar files from http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/high-definition-trailers.php but it stops after downloading and rejecting high-definition-trailers.php and doesn't follow any of the links. I am using the command: wget -r -A.rar http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/high-definition-trailers.php
[01:05] <hats> anyone have an idea of how to get it working?
[01:06] <escott> naryfa, http://rlocate.sourceforge.net/
[01:06] <naryfa> escott: much appreciated, thanks
[01:07] <escott> naryfa, project seems pretty dead though
[01:08] <naryfa> escott: yes, I'm seeing it now, and it only mentions Kernel 2.6
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> hats: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/use-wget-to-download-multiple-files-with-wildcards-603486/    may help
[01:10] <m_> Anyone what to chat
[01:18] <naryfa> escott: I just read that using "find" doesn't require updating the database, would you happen to know the proper query syntax? Typing find / filename spews out entire filesystm
[01:18] <naryfa> filesystem*
[01:19] <escott> naryfa, find is a rather advanced search tool. the closest to locate like functionality would be find /folder -iname PATTERN  which would search for a case insensitive name matching the regexp PATTERN. I would not run find on / it will take forever
[01:23] <naryfa> escott: it does take time, I agree. There's also gnome-search-tool, I have to check how that works. However, it's GUI
[01:24] <mophead> ActionParsnip : Yo! I just did fsck and it didn't say anything...
[01:25] <Colonel187> hello there
[01:25] <Colonel187> Is anybody available to help a super noob?
[01:25] <naryfa> escott: Thanks for your help
[01:27] <Colonel187> I'm stuck trying to install ubuntu 12.04 and the internets have failed me.
[01:27] <mophead> oh look, I got a df -h!
[01:28] <Colonel187> anybody?
[01:28] <mophead> Colonel187: tell them which errors you're getting
[01:29] <mophead> it says "dev/sda1" is totally full. anyone know what that is?
[01:29] <naryfa> escott:  sudo find f / -iname firefox
[01:29] <naryfa> escott: this worked
[01:30] <escott> naryfa, you shouldnt need sudo for something like that
[01:30] <naryfa> escott: if I don't it cries for 100 lines about /proc/ permission denied
[01:30] <Colonel187_> IS this thing working. I'm looking for assistance
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> mophead: uninstall old kernels
[01:31] <escott> naryfa, you could redirect errors to /dev/null
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> mophead: also run:  sudo apt-get clean
[01:31] <escott> Colonel187_, details please
[01:31] <Colonel187_> <--Super noob needs help installing ubuntu 12.04, install freezes
[01:31] <naryfa> escott: just add 0 > /dev/null ?
[01:31] <mophead> actionparsnip: I can't uninstall the old kernels because there's no space
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> mophead: the apt-get clean command may free some
[01:31] <naryfa> escott: no .... 2
[01:32] <naryfa> escott: 2 > /dev/null
[01:32] <naryfa> escott: this way?
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> mophead: now you have a df -h which you didn't have before it should be removable
[01:32] <escott> naryfa, sure
[01:32] <naryfa> escott: perfect
[01:32] <Colonel187_> um ok i can boot up into trial, i'm using it now. When I try to install ubuntu it always freeze when I click continue of the time zone screen
[01:32] <mophead> it's doing it! it's doing it!
[01:34] <Colonel187> I'm back whoever it was that was going to help me
[01:34] <naryfa> escott: one more question, if I want to alias this entire find query as "search" for example, do I do it in /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc and why?
[01:35] <escott> naryfa, ~/.bashrc
[01:36] <Colonel187> So the install copies files and shows me the time zone screen, when I click continue the install freezes every time. I"ve tried all the different install options, even manually partitioning a drive and it's a no go. I found a forum that mentioned something out un installing unibiquity slide show. I tried that and it still freezes
[01:36] <eddyman> possible to write script (shell/perl/etc) to simulate keyaction? my goal is to have this run as cron-job to set brightness level of my laptop screen
[01:37] <Colonel187> anybody have any suggestions?
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: have you tested RAM using memtest
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[01:38] <Fyodorovna> Colonel187, you are not exceding the primary partitons number are you?
[01:38]  * A_J greets ActionParsnip
[01:39] <Colonel187> no. I don't know really how to do anything. I'm trying to learn ubuntu but can't even get it installed LOL.  I have 8 gigs
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> A_J: howdy
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: amount of ram is irrelevant
[01:39] <Colonel187> yes I md5 checked the iso. this problem also occurs with Mint
[01:39] <A_J> I have a question. I'm gonna purchase a VPS and it has the latest OS being Ubuntu 9.04 can i update to 12.04 ?
[01:40] <Colonel187> From what I gathered from forums and searching is that 12.04 has a huge bug in the installation. I just don't know how to fix it or by pass it
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: Mint is based on Ubuntu so trying Mint isn't really trying much different at all
[01:40] <Daekdroom> ActionParsnip, what about Cinnamon?
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> A_J: you can upgrade it to 9.10, then to 10.04 then to 12.04
[01:40] <Fyodorovna> A_J, are you sure it is 9.04 that is end of life.
[01:40] <Colonel187> I know just providing information
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> Daekdroom: if the installer has the issue, the DE isn't the issue
[01:41] <Fyodorovna> A_J, but as suggested upgrades can be done, just checking the number here.
[01:41] <eddyman> Colonel187: could be that your hard drive has bad blocks
[01:41] <Colonel187> i"ve scanned it, my hard drive is fine
[01:41] <A_J> Fyodorovna : http://puu.sh/ISTt
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: did you try upgrading ubiquity in the liveCD then running the install as usual?
[01:41] <A_J> do i need to upgrade though ?
[01:41] <naryfa> escott: do aliases work right away or do I have to restart or update something?
[01:41] <Colonel187> That is a forign language to me
[01:42] <Colonel187> like I said i'm trying to install ubuntu so i can learn how to finally use linux.  How do i upgrade ubiquity
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: in the liveCD, get online then run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubiquity
[01:42] <Colonel187> k doing it now
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: ubiquity is the installer app, so upgrading it to the latest version may help
[01:43] <A_J> ActionParsnip do i need to upgrade from 9.04 or not. i just plan to run a znc on this VPS
[01:43] <Fyodorovna> A_J, I would just install 12.04 if me, it sounds like the 9.04 is not yours anyway is this correct?
[01:43] <escott> naryfa, they have to be sourced in your environment
[01:44] <naryfa> escott: in $PATH ?
[01:44] <escott> naryfa, so any new login shell will include them
[01:44] <A_J> nah it's not mine it's given by the VPS provider. Fyodorovna
[01:44] <naryfa> escott: how do I do that?
[01:45] <escott> naryfa, they aren't part of $PATH, but the same rules apply. logout/login if you want new vt's that are not login shells to include them
[01:45] <naryfa> escott: gracias
[01:46] <A_J> ActionParsnip and Fyodorovna i'll bbl. Thanks
[01:47] <eddyman> Colonel187: to learn linux get familiar with the command-line. there is a command called "man" which stands for manual. so what i said before was that you may have a faulty hard drive - corrupt sectors (blocks) on the drive. you can use the command called "badblocks" - to learn about that run "man badblocks" in terminal (press Q to quit any time you done reading this manual). also what you could do is create your partition manually before c
[01:47] <eddyman> aw, he left haha

[01:48] <Colonel187> Hello. firefox crashed. who was helping me?
[01:49] <eddyman> Colonel187: you see my (long) message?
[01:49] <Colonel187> I ran sudo apt-get update, but what was the other command? sudo apt-get ubiquity something?
[01:50] <eddyman> Colonel187: i believe someone suggested to install ubiquity although im not familiar with myself, but to do that "sudo apt-get install ubiquity"
[01:50] <Colonel187> Yes. I've checked the hard drive, I've also tried creating the partitions manually using a guide I found online.  I own an Asus 1225B-su17 and just put 12.04 on it. It wont halt on shutdown just reboot. Who do I ask for help with this?
[01:53] <eddyman> yea you can for us to better understand your problem but i suggest not pasting here directly but use www.pastebin.com
[01:53] <Colonel187> ok
[01:54] <eddyman> dubleeh: have you ever tried running "sudo shutdown now"
[01:55] <dwakar> dubleeh yeah run frm the terminal
[01:57] <eddyman> dubleeh: sudo shutdown -H now"
[01:57] <Starn> i'm in need of help with my ubuntu install.
[01:57] <eddyman> -H means to request the system to hault, -P requests system to power off
[01:58] <eddyman> Starn: tell us your issue
[01:58] <dubleeh> I searched the forums but no luck.  Is this the #Ubuntu channel?
[01:58] <dubleeh>  Maybe I should leran abot IRC somemore
[01:58] <dubleeh> ?
[01:58] <dubleeh> ... ok This maybe a log bot that i dont understand so if this im not speaking into the abysss then hit me back at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[01:58] <FloodBot1> dubleeh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:58] <Starn> when i boot into ubuntu it kinda functions and kind of does not.. and it displays the last image that was on windows.. even if i do a hard reboot.
[01:59] <Colonel187> ok this is dumb how do I copy the text in the log?  I tried ctrl+c and ctrl+x and right click and I can't get the text copeid
[01:59] <dwakar> dubleeh this is a real person speaking hit "sudo shutdown -h now" in the terminal
[01:59] <Starn> and when it doesn't show the last thing on windows it shows a fuzzy pixelated screen kinda like snow from a TV. but coloured and lots of grey.
[02:00] <dwakar> Colonel187: if you're trying to copy from terminal use mouse
[02:00] <eddyman> Colonel187: when copy/paste in terminal i right click
[02:01] <Colonel187> it doesn't work
[02:01] <Colonel187> it's the log of the install
[02:01] <eddyman> interesting
[02:01] <Starn> this image is on the "background" the foreground such as apps and tool bar are perfectly fine.. except the whole them not responding to mouse clicks.
[02:01] <Colonel187> anyway the last message I saw before it froze is run apt-get update to update ubiquity
[02:02] <Colonel187> but i'm typing sudo apt-get update and it runs throught a list of checks and then says you may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems? didn't I just do that?
[02:02] <eddyman> Starn: perhaps you did not shutdown windows properly. this tends to cause problems, so try to boot into windows and properly shutdown from the start menu
[02:02] <Starn> eddyman: i've done that.. multiple times.
[02:02] <escott> Colonel187, usually one runs apt-get update then apt-get upgrade
[02:03] <Colonel187> ok it's doing stuff
[02:03] <Starn> eddyman: i've even used my external hard drive that as ubuntu on it as well and same problem (except it says unable to mount hard drives)
[02:04] <Starn> eddyman: and they was working perfectly fine not to long ago.. and i've not updated or installed anything new on ubuntu or windows..
[02:04] <Colonel187> Can't wait to get away from my windows dependancy and learn ubuntu, then #2 is to learn android programming
[02:04] <dwakar> Colonel187: good for you
[02:05] <Colonel187> thanks :)
[02:05] <Starn> Colonel187: if you're a gamer you'll always need win... but otherwise you're all set :)
[02:05] <eddyman> Starn: maybe it's a X windows or Compiz issue
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> Starn: depends what games you want to play ;)
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> Starn: I game quite happily on Linux
[02:05] <Colonel187> I am a gamer. but I can make windows my secondary O/S not my primary
[02:06] <Starn> eddyman: i was thiking the same thing. but i've not found any issues with either.
[02:06] <eddyman> Starn: try turning Compiz off?
[02:06] <Starn> ActionParsnip: this is true.. heck WoW runs on it..
[02:06] <Colonel187> I ready steam is releasing a linux client soon
[02:06] <Starn> eddyman: by defualt i have compiz off.. i dislike running it.
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> Starn: urban terror and penumbra run awesome
[02:06] <Starn> Colonel187: if they do that'll be amazing but i've been hearing this since before they released the mac client.
[02:07] <Starn> ActionParsnip: yeah i have them :) also heard oil rush is good.
[02:08] <Colonel187> ok I got an error at the end of upgrade. I pasted the text in that website link you shared with me. How do I let you see it
[02:10] <rgates414> Beating head against wall trying to find windows drivers for ndiswrapper...
[02:10] <dwakar> Colonel187: copy the url and paste it here
[02:10] <eddyman> Starn: maybe its a memory issue. you can use "top" in terminal to see which programs are eating up cpu usage and ram
[02:11] <eddyman> in "top" press K to kill a process
[02:11] <Colonel187> http://pastebin.com/cqiiHZYm
[02:11] <Starn> eddyman: memory isn't an issue.. unless it's failing.
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | Colonel187
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: may help
[02:12] <Colonel187> i ran apt-get install ubiquity again and got this http://pastebin.com/6Zxj5QU2
[02:13] <rgates414> What driver files exactly do you need load to ndiswrapper to get the driver to install properly?  anybody?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: do you have software centre open?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> rgates414: .inf and .sys
[02:13] <Colonel187> no, but the installer is still frozen I can't get it to force close. or rather don't know how
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: then that's why. If the installer is running the it will cause the issue. You need to upgrade the installer before running it
[02:14] <Colonel187> oh ok. well now I know how
[02:14] <rgates414> Can't find ANY .inf files for it... Am I looking in the wrong place??  Thought it would be in SYSTEM32 folder along with the .sys
[02:14] <volan> Colonel187, also try 'apt-get clean'
[02:14] <Colonel187> can I force close it or do I have to reboot
[02:15] <eddyman> Colonel187: you can use "top" or "kill" or "pkill" to stop any programs
[02:15] <Colonel187> how would I use that
[02:16] <rgates414> Found 3 different .dll files though.. seriously about to give up here..
[02:16] <eddyman> but idk the command of the installer :\
[02:16] <Colonel187> oh
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> rgates414: I suggest you download the driver from the manufacturers site and copy it from the ntfs partition in Ubuntu
[02:16] <Colonel187> is there a graphical task manager like windows.
[02:16] <eddyman> Colonel187: possibly to find out process number/name run "ps ax | grep install"
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> Colonel187: probably easier to reboot. Select to try the OS then run the command I gave a while back, then run the installer
[02:17] <eddyman> Colonel187: yes, in command-line it is "top" but in a gui, it is called System Monitor
[02:17] <rgates414> ntfs partition?  Full disclosure:  I know dick about linux
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> rgates414: your NTFS partition is readable by Ubuntu so you can copy the file over
[02:18] <Colonel187> alright then rebooting
[02:18] <eddyman> NTFS is a type of filesystem that Microsoft created for Windows
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> rgates414: are you sure there is no native driver for your wifi chip?
[02:19] <Medjai> Can someone tell me why when i set a keyboard shortcut via: System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Window ... It is cleared after reboot?
[02:19] <eddyman> Linux users tend to Ext3 or 4
[02:19] <eddyman> use*
[02:19] <Medjai> I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 btw
[02:19] <rgates414> When I try to install the native driver, which is says is compatible with my pci, it still doesn;t work
[02:20] <rgates414> BCM 4322
[02:20] <eddyman> Medjai: sometimes Ubuntu does not save gconf related settings. it's a pain in the butt, i know. but i found that logging off and back in forces a save..sometimes
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | rgates414
[02:21] <Medjai> eddyman, is there a command I can issue?
[02:21] <rgates414> lol, ty.
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> rgates414: there is a native driver, those broadcom things arte the easiest ones to install
[02:21] <rgates414> So I'm noticing.. ;)
[02:21] <eddyman> Medjai: "man gsettings"
[02:22] <eddyman> Medjai: could also install gconf-editor for a gui
[02:25] <volan> I am trying to fix/setup a dsl connection remotely. I set up the box several months ago (11.10) for my father and at the time I thought it was odd, but the internet connection "just worked". I didn't have to put in a password or mess with any settings. I connected a fresh install ubuntu where a winXP box was, and ba-bam, there was internet.
[02:25] <volan> Now months later it has stopped working. The ISP is dsl extreme. They only officially support win and mac and are not much help (even when explaining that it had been working)
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> volan: can you connect with windows?
[02:27] <volan> no more windows
[02:27] <volan> only ubuntu
[02:27] <volan> i took his xp box -
[02:28] <volan> He is too far away for me to just pop over so we have been working over the phone. We went through the suggestions here:
[02:28] <volan> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1471587.html  about ten times. I have had him very carefully check the MAC address, etc.
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> volan: I'd check settings in the router, you could also try rebooting the router itself
[02:28] <volan> there is no router - just the modem
[02:28] <volan> pppoeconf goes through some scanning and comes back with:
[02:28] <volan> Sorry, I scanned 1 interface, but the Access  Concentrator of your provider did not respond. Please check your network and modem cables. Another reason for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe process which controls the modem.
[02:32] <Medjai> eddyman, doesn't look like the logout did anything
[02:33] <Medjai> it's a bit annoying i'm trying to tie window minimize to (ctrl + alt + 8) and window toggle maximize to (ctrl + alt + 9 )
[02:34] <Medjai> doing it through system settings works only for the session
[02:34] <KingKatari> yes i need some help with IPtables
[02:34] <Medjai> i tried then going to ccsm and going to general options > key bindings
[02:35] <KingKatari> i need to know how to allow any and all traffic from a certain port
[02:35] <Medjai> when i set them as soon as i get out it resets them back to whatever the default was... is this a bug that it cant set those two to any other binding?
[02:35] <blubee> hello guys, i have ubuntu 12.04 i downloaded adobe acrobat with sudo apt-get acroread and i am trying to enable adobe pdf in google chrome, but it doesn't seem to be working. I dont even see the option to enable adobe reader in chrome. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue?
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> blubee: its default enabled, you don't need to install acroread for it to work
[02:40] <blubee> ActionParsnip when i go online to my bank website i am unable to view the pdf
[02:40] <KingKatari> yes i need some help with IPtables
[02:40] <KingKatari> i need to know how to allow any and all traffic from a certain port
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> !iptables | KingKatari
[02:41] <blubee> ActionParnip its embedded in the webpage and it just shows a blank screen, when I used windows for a while i had to go into adobe and enable internet viewing pdf then go into chrome disable the default pdf viewer and enable adobe reader, on ubuntu there is no option to enable adobe reader but the disable chrome pdf viewer is there
[02:42] <b2coutts_> Hey, when I execute a program (i.e. firefox) from the terminal, that terminal is forced to remain open while the program is open. Is there a way to execute a program from the terminal, without locking the terminal to the program?
[02:43] <JoseeAntonioR> b2coutts_: Alt+F2 and then execute the command from there
[02:44] <dwakar> b2coutts_: try firefox &
[02:45] <b2coutts_> dwakar: thanks
[02:54] <johndeere> morning all
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> b2coutts_: use nohup and it should be ok
[02:56] <johndeere> I am having some issues and was hoping someone could point me in any direction
[02:56] <johndeere> I have an Adata S599 55GB SSD
[02:56] <johndeere> when I install Ubuntu on it
[02:56] <johndeere> 11.10 will not boot at all
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> johndeere: ease up on the enter key
[02:56] <johndeere> 12.04 is ridiculously slow
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> johndeere: what video chip do you use?
[02:57] <johndeere> radeon
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> johndeere: did you enable the proprietary driver?
[02:58] <johndeere> It failed to enable on 12.04 and as I say, cannot get to it in 11.10
[02:59] <johndeere> would that be the major cause? because this is where it gets really funny. If I stick the disk in a usb casing, it boots into 11.10, but not on SATA, I have tried multiple cables on multiple ports
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> johndeere: if you use Unity2D session it should be faster
[03:00] <johndeere> ActionParsnip: when I say slow, I am talking like 15 minutes to boot on an SSD....
[03:02] <johndeere> ActionParsnip: I'll try the video driver now and let you guys know
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> johndeere: oh the boot is slow... I thought you meant in the OS itself
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> johntash: you can run:  dmesg | less    and look for large gaps in the time on the left to see why its taking so long
[03:07] <garbagepailkid> Torvalds probably uses the Mate desktop
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> garbagepailkid: probably kde
[03:12] <MagiC3PO> If I boot to an Ubuntu 12.04 Live CD, can I upgrade 11.10 that way?
[03:12] <MagiC3PO> Or at least FINISH a partially completed upgrade?
[03:13] <JoseeAntonioR> MagiC3PO: No, you would need an 11.10 CD.
[03:13] <MagiC3PO> I mean upgrade 11.10 to 12.04
[03:14] <zorg24> yes MagiC3PO that should work, I've never tried it, but doubt it wouldn't work
[03:15] <zorg24> although why not just use the upgrade functionality in the update manager MagiC3PO
[03:15] <MagiC3PO> Well, my laptop decided to crash during the update via that.
[03:15] <chillpill_> very brave
[03:15] <Renski> trying to install an older version of mysql with "sudo apt-get install mysql-server=5.1.58-1ubuntu1" but complains that that it depends on mysql-server-5.1
[03:15] <Renski> bit confused
[03:16] <RaverX3X> humm question
[03:16] <MagiC3PO> Anyways, my 12.04 CD (Actually, it's a DVD) just finished burning
[03:16] <MagiC3PO> Time to give that a shot.
[03:16] <RaverX3X> just installed linux to my desktop but it wont boot without a flash drive that i used to install it inserted
[03:16] <Renski> How would I go about installing 5.1.58?
[03:16] <MagiC3PO> RaverX3X, are you sure you Installed rather than did the Try from CD option?
[03:17] <RaverX3X> no it installed
[03:17] <MagiC3PO> How odd.
[03:17] <RaverX3X> cause once booted its reading from the hdd i can remove the usb stick
[03:17] <RaverX3X> and it still runs
[03:17] <MagiC3PO> Anyways, time to boot to the CD
[03:17] <RaverX3X> i even tried sudo update-grub
[03:17] <RaverX3X> but without the usb stick in i just get the  _
[03:17] <RaverX3X> like it doesnt realize theres a boot loader
[03:18] <MagiC3PO> DARN YOU PHONE
[03:19] <RaverX3X> now i cant even get it to re install from usb because the option isnt there it just boots to ubuntu installed on the hdd
[03:21] <zorg24> RaverX3X, is their important data on your hard drive
[03:21] <RaverX3X> conidering i just installed linux no lol
[03:21] <RaverX3X> what about sudo fdisk -l
[03:21] <RaverX3X> sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[03:22] <zorg24> RaverX3X, well it could have been on a seperate partition or something
[03:22] <RaverX3X> theres nothing important on my pc atm
[03:22] <RaverX3X> the only issue is now
[03:22] <zorg24> point in case I'd reformat the drive and install again
[03:22] <RaverX3X> if i stick the usb stick in and try to boot to that
[03:22] <zorg24> also RaverX3X what did you use to make the usb stick?
[03:23] <RaverX3X> pendrive + ubunto 12.04 lts iso
[03:23] <RaverX3X> from the ubuntu homepage
[03:23] <zorg24> If you didn't use the tool on the ubuntu download just to be safe make it again with that
[03:23] <zorg24> oh ok nvr mind
[03:24] <RaverX3X> its the same pen drive that i used to install it to my laptop
[03:24] <zorg24> I thought maybe you made a persistant bootable ubuntu usb drive by accident
[03:24] <RaverX3X> which is fine by the way been fine on that for months lol
[03:24] <RaverX3X> i just got tired of windows on my pc
[03:24] <zorg24> you said it was like their was no bootloader right?
[03:25] <Colonel187> hello. I'm back, had to make dinner. I'm still not able to complete the install of ubuntu
[03:26] <zorg24> oh wait are you turning it on w/ the flash drive in RaverX3X?
[03:26] <zorg24> your bios may be booting off the flash drive instead of the hard drive
[03:26] <RaverX3X> i installed ubuntu then after it installed it said i had to reboot at that point i removed the usb stick
[03:26] <RaverX3X> then rebooted once it rebooted it just sits at the _ flashing
[03:27] <Colonel187> I ran apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade, then apt-get install ubiquity. the installer still freezes on time zone
[03:27] <zorg24> jeez its been so long since I did an install I can't recall if at that point you have to leave the install media in
[03:27] <RaverX3X> well it said to remove it lol
[03:27] <RaverX3X> so i did
[03:27] <zorg24> oh
[03:27] <RaverX3X> never had a issue with grub not being detected a t boot time
[03:28] <RaverX3X> tell now
[03:28] <yannick> hello world
[03:28] <Colonel187> anybody have any other suggestions
[03:28] <dwakar> Colonel187: are you installing it in vbox or something
[03:28] <yannick> grub-install ?
[03:28] <zorg24> I'm thinking something weird happened and grub didn't install correctly
[03:28] <Colonel187> no i'm installing it on a hard drive from the usb stick
[03:28] <yannick> ok
[03:29] <yannick> sorry
[03:29] <zorg24> RaverX3X, one sec there's a tool to fix grub automagically I forgot what its called though
[03:29] <Fyodorovna> RaverX3X, have you tried the usb and seen if it boots regular, could grub of been put on it?
[03:29] <dwakar> ok
[03:29] <RaverX3X> ya it will boot to my os if i stick the usb stick in and hit f8 pick the flash drive
[03:29] <dwakar> which ubuntu are you installing colonel187
[03:29] <Fyodorovna> !bootrepair
[03:29] <RaverX3X> it wont give me the linux installer but it boots to ubuntu 12.04
[03:29] <Colonel187> ubuntu 12.04
[03:30] <Colonel187> ok here is the low down
[03:30] <RedSocrates> RaverX3X, just to check, when you did the installation you chose to install grub to the MBR?
[03:30] <RaverX3X> no ironicly it never asked
[03:30] <Fyodorovna> RaverX3X, so you can get to the installs desktop with the usb correct?
[03:30] <RaverX3X> no actually i cant
[03:30] <RaverX3X> it keeps booting to the os
[03:30] <RedSocrates> RaverX3X, it should have asked, though I've never done a USB installation to confirm... That's odd.
[03:30] <RaverX3X> now  with it installed
[03:31] <dwakar> Colonel187: are you installing it on a ubuntu preinstalled machine
[03:31] <Fyodorovna> RaverX3X, when you say OS whwt do you mean?
[03:31] <Fyodorovna> what*
[03:31] <zorg24> RedSocrates, installing from USB it should still ask its the exact same iso file used
[03:31] <Magiobiwan> Hmm.
[03:31] <Colonel187> I checked MD5, my hdd is healthy, I can install ubuntu through windows and only that way. I don't want that. I searched and searched and I keep seeing on forums that the installer is broken for ubuntu 12.04 and Mint. I just don't know how to fix it. I was being helped before but had to leave for dinner
[03:31] <RedSocrates> zorg24, Yeah, that's what I would have thought.
[03:31] <RaverX3X> meaning it will boot ubuntu as it would normally if grub was installed to the hdd
[03:31] <Colonel187> I"ve tried update/upgrade
[03:32] <Magiobiwan> SO, I couldn't use the CD to do the upgrade
[03:32] <Colonel187> tried removing and re installing ubiquity, still no go
[03:32] <Fyodorovna> RaverX3X, use the tab complete with user names here so we know who you are talking to. You can install grub to the mbr from the OS.
[03:32] <Magiobiwan> I just ended up replacing my broken, fresh install of old Ubuntu
[03:32] <Colonel187> dwaker: no this is a home built machine
[03:32] <Magiobiwan> With a clean, new, up to date version of 12.04
[03:32] <dwakar> Colonel187: are you switching from windows or dualboot or upgrading ubuntu
[03:33] <dwakar> Colonel187: which one
[03:33] <Colonel187> I am attempting to dual boot with windows. but would like to move away from windows once I learn how to use linux
[03:34] <zorg24> RaverX3X, its sounding more and more like you somehow installed grub to the USB drive by accident
[03:34] <RaverX3X> thats what i thought i am trying to get grub to install to the hdd atm
[03:34] <dwakar> ok is that usb made with linux live usb maker or something of windows Colonel187
[03:34] <Colonel187> yes it is
[03:34] <RaverX3X> zorg24 just ran grub-update on it
[03:35] <RaverX3X> zorg24 like i said it was weird cause i never had that happen before this isnt my first install of nix lol
[03:35] <Colonel187> BUT, I also made a live cd of Mint and that freezes in the exact same spot. I know mint is based off ubuntu
[03:35] <dwakar> did it said something about not supporting 12.04 or something like that Colonel187
[03:35] <zorg24> Colonel187, just use the option in the installer to dual later you can delete your windows partition and resize your other partitions, also if you want to move away from windows absolutely do NOT use wubi
[03:35] <Colonel187> no
[03:35] <xxiao> i have two PCs both running 10.04, one has 1024*768 tty1-6, one has 640-480, what's causing that?
[03:36] <zorg24> actually Colonel187 either way don't use wubi
[03:36] <Fyodorovna> RaverX3X, sudo grub-install /dev/sdX   X is the HD check it with sudo fdisk -l
[03:36] <xxiao> tried to play with /etc/default/grub, did not help
[03:36] <xxiao> in fact on both machine the /etc/default/grub are identical too
[03:36] <Colonel187> the log in the installation windows shows something about runing apt-get update before it crashes but I've done that
[03:36] <Fyodorovna> RaverX3X, then run sudo update-grub
[03:36] <yannick> ok
[03:36] <dwakar> Colonel187: ok so it freezes at the time zone
[03:36] <Colonel187> yes
[03:37] <yannick> not now
[03:37] <dwakar> have you tried "try ubuntu" option
[03:37] <Colonel187> I do not want to use wubi
[03:37] <dwakar> if not do that first
[03:37] <zorg24> Colonel187, good I was just making sure
[03:37] <Colonel187> yes. i'm using it now i've also tried the straight install option
[03:37] <Fyodorovna> Colonel187, there is a alternative disc for a text install.
[03:37] <Colonel187> there is?
[03:38] <zorg24> Colonel187, ya you want the link?
[03:38] <Colonel187> the problem with that is I am installing this to learn how to use it so i only know what i've been told so far. I don't know if i can command line install
[03:39] <Fyodorovna> Colonel187, if you need it, also on the main ubuntu site.  http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/
[03:39] <RaverX3X> zerg24 and colonel187 tried that it says it doesnt have a bios when trying to  install grub to the hdd
[03:39] <yannick> nope for me
[03:39] <zorg24> Colonel187, no its not a command line install just a text based interface
[03:39] <Colonel187> oh ok like choose a number and press enter
[03:39] <yannick> 2
[03:39] <zorg24> ya basically
[03:40] <enteL> theres a lack of point and click
[03:40] <zorg24> you need 64 bit or 32 bit?
[03:40] <yannick> 64
[03:40] <Colonel187> now let me ask you this. I read that if I have 64 bit hardware I should use 64 bit. But 32 bit is more compatible. SHould I switch to 64 bit
[03:40] <yannick> reflexion
[03:41] <zorg24> Colonel187, its only a big issue if you more than 4 GB of ram
[03:41] <enteL> 64 bit if memory allows
[03:41] <Colonel187> I have 8
[03:41] <yannick> ok
[03:41] <Fyodorovna> RaverX3X, can you pastebin sudo fdisk -lu    http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[03:41] <RaverX3X> ya hold on lol
[03:41] <zorg24> Colonel187, than you should use 64 bit, otherwhise only 4 GB will be utilized
[03:41] <yannick> nope for me
[03:41] <Colonel187> is it the alternait install
[03:41] <Colonel187> lol alternate
[03:42] <yannick> correct
[03:42] <Colonel187> ok. going to try it.
[03:42] <zorg24> Colonel187, http://gb.releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-alternate-amd64.iso or if you prefer torrents http://gb.releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent
[03:42] <Colonel187> i'll come back and let you know if it works or not
[03:43] <yannick> no need for me
[03:43] <zorg24> ok good luck Colonel187
[03:43] <yannick> ok
[03:43] <Colonel187> thanks

[03:44] <Fyodorovna> RaverX3X, from a terminal on the OS sudo grub-install /dev/sde   then sudo update grub  Do you still get a no mbr with these.
[03:46] <Fyodorovna> RaverX3X, sorry sudo update-grub  hehe you probably know that already.
[03:46] <Jordan_U> RaverX3X: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc"
[03:47] <Fyodorovna> +1
[03:47] <Chamunks> any way to completely remove Oracle java 7 from ubuntu if its not been installed via apt.
[03:48] <enteL> Chamunks: checkinstall next time
[03:48] <RaverX3X> ya  i still get those errors fyodorovna
[03:48] <Chamunks> enteL, im sorry?
[03:49] <Chamunks> i dont know exactly what checkinstall does.
[03:49] <Jordan_U> RaverX3X: That will ask you a few questions, one of which is where the grub-pc package should install grub's boot sector on upgrades. Right now it's probably configured to install grub's boot sector to the USB drive on package upgrades. Make sure to configure it to install grub's boot sector to the MBR of the drive that your BIOS will boot from (*not* to a partition). Use space bar to select / unselect a device and enter to continue.
[03:49] <enteL> Chamunks: http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/
[03:50] <RaverX3X> oktried the sudo dpkg-reconfigure and i get trub-pc is broken or not fully installed
[03:50] <RaverX3X> err grub
[03:50] <RaverX3X> not trub lol
[03:50] <Chamunks> enteL, well thats an great tool wish they had that for windoze anyways so basically im screwed tho?
[03:50] <enteL> Chamunks: no, not screwed
[03:52] <yannick> ok
[03:53] <Chamunks> enteL, looks like i might have removed it.
[03:53] <databack> best Linux distro to run through Virtual Box?
[03:53] <dwakar>  databask arch linux lol
[03:53] <yannick> nope
[03:53] <yannick> ;)
[03:53] <databack> i started to run arch linux
[03:53] <RaverX3X> sence i cant get the damm grub loader off of the flash drive
[03:53] <databack> looking around though
[03:53] <rgates414> Followed directions for bcm43xx problems to a *T*... still no wireless...
[03:54] <yannick> I say Gentoo
[03:54] <databack> Ubuntu ran nicely through Virtual Box
[03:54] <Nicolas_Leonida2> hi, doesn't this mean run this command every two hours? * */2 * * * /var/www/scripts/crons/readfeeds.sh
[03:54] <yannick> but pointless in this chan ...
[03:54] <databack> How does Gentoo compare to Ubuntu?
[03:54] <RedSocrates> Almost totally different
[03:54] <yannick> yep
[03:54] <yannick> as I said
[03:55] <yannick> but pointless in this chan ...
[03:55] <databack> like how
[03:55] <yannick> do not know
[03:56] <rgates414> Anyone have any advice?
[03:56] <databack> good chat
[03:56] <yannick> thx
[03:56] <RedSocrates> databack, Gentoo is entirely source-based, Ubuntu is not, they use different package managers, the installation process for Gentoo is a learning experience whereas for Ubuntu it is supposed to be point and click, etc.
[03:56] <yannick> thx
[03:57] <databack> red, thanks
[03:57] <yannick> sorry for that
[03:57] <dwakar> RedSocrates: wait you have to compile all the packages?
[03:58] <Chamunks> enteL, so installing "jre-6u33-linux-x64.bin"  I could run that install with a checkinstall?
[03:58] <RedSocrates> dwakar, yes
[03:58] <MEEDORIKEX> whats up people
[03:58] <capa> hi, i have ubuntu 32 bits installed and i'm willing to install 64 bits I only have 4GB of ram and my processor supports 64 bits. I will lose sth?
[03:58] <dwakar> RedSocrates: fun huh
[03:58] <RedSocrates> dwakar, Well, at least when it comes to officially provided software
[03:59] <RaverX3X> guess ill redownload burn a cd
[03:59] <RedSocrates> dwakar, some people think it's fun, I guess for the tinkering aspect of it, plus it gives you a lot more control over what is installed on your system
[03:59] <RaverX3X> and re install lol
[03:59] <RaverX3X> sence there would be no way
[03:59] <yannick> :)
[03:59] <RaverX3X> for it to install it to the cd
[03:59] <rgates414> Need a hand.  Can anyone help?
[03:59] <dwakar> RedSocrates: yeah more flexible
[04:00] <RaverX3X> and oh i picked the HDD as the primary boot
[04:00] <RaverX3X> looked at install log
[04:00] <RaverX3X> unless u know a way to wipe the grub loader off the flash drive
[04:00] <RaverX3X> without killing the bootable flash drive
[04:00] <RedSocrates> !ask > rgates414
[04:00] <yannick> nice job
[04:01] <Chamunks> Can I Checkinstall my java.bin file?
[04:01] <dwakar> RedSocrates: install takes more time
[04:01] <RedSocrates> dwakar, yes, much more time
[04:02] <dwakar> RedSocrates: guess i'll "try ubuntu" first , it has a live cd or something right
[04:02] <dwakar> i mena try gentoo first
[04:02] <RedSocrates> dwakar, What's your goal?
[04:02] <yannick> are you sure?
[04:03] <dwakar> my goal = try gentoo with a live cd if it has
[04:03] <rgates414> Trying to get my wireless card working.  Yes, it's a damn Broadcom 4322.  Already been to the wifidocs page and followed the directions to a freaking t and still no wifi.  No idea where to go from here.  Any help is appreciated.
[04:03] <yannick> usb stick?
[04:03] <yannick> no time for that sorry
[04:03] <RedSocrates> dwakar, first, I want to make sure I didn't confuse you. You have to compile everything when using Gentoo. You don't have to do that for Ubuntu. That's what you want?
[04:04] <enteL> broadcom wireless cards >_<
[04:04] <yannick> lol
[04:04] <enteL> ive had my battles
[04:04] <yannick> ;)
[04:04] <dwakar> RedSocrates: you mean you have to install it to try it?
[04:04] <yannick> you sould ...
[04:05] <RedSocrates> dwakar, no, you don't. Both Ubuntu and Gentoo have LiveCDs.
[04:05] <dwakar> ok RedSocrates thanks
[04:05] <yannick> perfect
[04:06] <RedSocrates> dwakar, I'm just surprised that you want to try Gentoo, since it sounds like you are rather new to Linux (no offense intended). I want to be sure you understand that Gentoo is the one with the very long, difficult process
[04:06] <glitsj16> Chamunks: what is it that you want to achieve exactly? didn't get why you wanted to remove java 7 and go back to java 6 exactly
[04:06] <Chamunks> minecraft
[04:06] <yannick> totaly true
[04:06] <Chamunks> always poops the bed in java7
[04:06] <Chamunks> and openjdk argues with it also.
[04:06] <yannick> RedSocrates : O
[04:07] <dwakar> yeah RedSocrates none taken that's how you learn
[04:07] <Chamunks> so im trying to install from the jre-6u33-linux-x64.bin downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre6-downloads-1637595.html
[04:07] <glitsj16> Chamunks: so right now your system is without java alltogether ?
[04:07] <Magiobiwan> Hmm.
[04:07] <RedSocrates> dwakar, Okay, no problem, just making sure. Have fun :)
[04:07] <Chamunks> glitsj16, i believe i've pulled it all off yeah
[04:07] <Magiobiwan> So, Ubuntu doesn't seen to recognize my Intel 945 GM graphics Chipset.
[04:07] <yannick> no time for that
[04:08] <Magiobiwan> I just did a clean install, so I'm installing Updates now.
[04:08] <yannick> ok
[04:08] <bkerensa> !justask Magiobiwan
[04:08] <bkerensa> !justask |  Magiobiwan
[04:08] <yannick> !patience
[04:08] <malkauns> in 12.04 how do change the background color of just the panel?
[04:08] <Magiobiwan> I didn't go, "Can I ask you guys a question?"
[04:09] <yannick> yep
[04:09] <rgates414> yawn
[04:09] <yannick> !patience
[04:09] <Magiobiwan> But, Ubuntu 12.04 DOES have drivers for the Intel 945GM Chipset, right?
[04:10] <glitsj16> Chamunks: does minecraft throw any errors with java 7 or was your java install borked?
[04:10] <RaverX3X> thanks for trying to help
[04:10] <yannick> ;)
[04:10] <Chamunks> its hard to tell i've only really had problems with it in java 7 and java 6 when it works it simply works.
[04:10] <Chamunks> I can try reinstalling java7
[04:11] <yannick> yep
[04:11] <Chamunks> glitsj16, and let you know what the errors are if need be
[04:11] <enteL> error messages are key
[04:11] <yannick> Could you be love?
[04:11] <glitsj16> Chamunks: ok, take a look at http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html .. it basically installs everything for you
[04:12] <Chamunks> glitsj16,  fair
[04:12] <glitsj16> Chamunks: and it is easily removed via apt, software center or synaptic (whatever you use) so it shouldn't be a pain
[04:13] <bkerensa> Magiobiwan: Yes it should.
[04:13] <Chamunks> glitsj16,  yeh thats cool i just remember doing this once before was just like beating my head against a wall.
[04:13] <yannick> ok
[04:13] <bkerensa> Magiobiwan: Can you explain why you believe it is lacking drivers?
[04:13] <Chamunks> glitsj16,  but im allways interested in trying to make this work :)
[04:13] <Magiobiwan> It says Graphics: Unknown
[04:14] <glitsj16> Chamunks: that's the spirit ;)
[04:14] <Magiobiwan> Driver: Unknown
[04:14] <rgates414> asfdadfl;j
[04:14] <Magiobiwan> And Experience: Standard
[04:14] <enteL> bad driver
[04:14] <Magiobiwan> I didn't specify one or anything.
[04:15] <yannick> ok
[04:15] <Magiobiwan> But, its installing Updates right now.
[04:15] <Chamunks> glitsj16, waiting on the apt to grab the files
[04:16] <Magiobiwan> I suppose while I wait for it to do that, I'll go play Zelda OoT
[04:16] <antiall80> ciao
[04:16] <yannick> !patience
[04:17] <glitsj16> Chamunks: the PPA downloads stuff behind the scenes (to avoid legalistics) so it can take a few minutes, make sure to let it finish
[04:17] <Chamunks> glitsj16, yeh i can see the slow progress bar creep.
[04:19] <yannick> entel more help !
[04:19] <yannick> ?
[04:19] <subb1> Hi all. Good day
[04:19] <Chamunks> glitsj16, im curious as to why this method you linked me isn't on the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[04:19] <yannick> so as you ;)
[04:19] <Chamunks> it seems to be much less broken.
[04:19] <glitsj16> Chamunks: btw, the link mentions doing a java version check after install, it should be at version 1.7.0_05 by now
[04:20] <Chamunks> right on :)
[04:20] <enteL> yannick: help with?
[04:20] <Chamunks> glitsj16, build 1.7.0_05-b05
[04:20] <Chamunks> im gonna try and run mc from java -jar minecraft.jar now
[04:20] <yannick> Rastaman live up?
[04:20] <glitsj16> Chamunks: it is actually .. oracle java 7 .. command-line methods
[04:21] <Moogs> hi i'm new to ubuntu.. i just installed it and was wondering if there was anything special i should be doing to keep my comoputer secure
[04:21] <subb1> I would like to issue a  tar (compress) , scp the tarred file over to a server, then extract that file on that server in a single command. I guess its done using piping? Please help.... thanks.
[04:21] <enteL> yannick: broadcom?
[04:21] <glitsj16> Chamunks: so at least you can try minecraft with a nicely installed java, hope this is worth your time :)
[04:22] <Chamunks> glitsj16, this is the paste of the stuff returned from the java -version http://paste.thezomg.com/3784/13424123/
[04:22] <Moogs> or is there anything that i should do to optimize ubuntus performance?
[04:22] <enteL> subb1: yes a pipe
[04:22] <Magiobiwan> Updates have installed. Rebooting now.
[04:22] <glitsj16> Chamunks: all good
[04:22] <enteL> subb1: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-tar-command-through-network-over-ssh-session/
[04:23] <Chamunks> glitsj16,  i get to the log in screen
[04:23] <Chamunks> than shortly afterwards i hit log in and get a black screen which is commonly mentioned as an error in mc.
[04:23] <Chamunks> glitsj16,  this is the error http://paste.thezomg.com/3785/41246013/
[04:24] <Magiobiwan> Okay. It still says Graphics: Unknown
[04:24] <glitsj16> Chamunks: ok i'll take a look
[04:24] <Magiobiwan> Any ideas?
[04:26] <glitsj16> Chamunks: your paste mentions on line 6 something about 'wrong ELF class' .. that refers to 32bit vs 64bit .. what system are you using ?
[04:26] <BUSTACAP> Is there a terminal command to view available video memory?
[04:26] <Chamunks> glitsj16,  fully 64bit
[04:26] <RedSocrates> BUSTACAP, free
[04:27] <RedSocrates> Oh, video memory
[04:27] <RedSocrates> sorry
[04:27] <Chamunks> glitsj16, 64bit precise and amd 6core 1055t
[04:27] <subb1> enteL, thanks , exactly what I needed !
[04:27] <BUSTACAP> Yeah o.O
[04:27] <glitsj16> Chamunks: ok, and minecraft is also 64bit version?
[04:27] <enteL> subb1: np! friend
[04:27] <Chamunks> they ship mc as a single .jar
[04:27] <enteL> sweet trick.
[04:27] <Magiobiwan> glitsj16: MC switches depending upon the detected Java Version
[04:28] <Chamunks> its just a loader that pulls down other files from minecraft.net
[04:28] <Chamunks> so thats something we dont see on our side.
[04:28] <BUSTACAP> I've been having very bad virtualbox performance after it's running for a short period of time and it seems like video lag to me.
[04:28] <glitsj16> Magiobiwan: ok thanks
[04:28] <Chamunks> Magiobiwan, thanks for the verify.
[04:31] <glitsj16> Chamunks: looking at some things, like http://www.proppedup.org/2011/04/01/minecraft-on-ununtu-with-java-7/ .. please give me a minute
[04:31] <andrew_> hello
[04:31] <andrew_> does anyone know the name of the linux gaming app ,its a bit like steam ?
[04:32] <Magiobiwan> Chamunks: No problem.
[04:33] <sirriffsalot> Hi! When jackd is running the vlc-jack-plugin does not work with videos. After a few seconds the video starts lagging increasingly until the sound finally disappears..?
[04:33] <d3v1an7> Any reason why I would need to an IP to both csf.allow, even after adding it to csf.ignore?
[04:33] <Chamunks> glitsj16, no worries the gf passed out a half hour ago on the couch behind me.
[04:34] <prkchp_sndwch> hi. I'm running 10.04 and I have the winxp driver for netgear's wg311v3 wireless pci nic installed on ndiswrapper but networkmanager applet isn't showing this device. ndiswrapper -l says the device is found. does anybody know what could be wrong?

[04:40] <Chamunks> glitsj16, ok nvm made zero difference.
[04:41] <Magiobiwan> Is there a way I can tell Ubuntu to send a 1280x1024 signal to my external monitor?
[04:42] <Magiobiwan> It currently shows as Unknown, with 1024x768 and 800x600 as my only options.
[04:43] <Chamunks> Magiobiwan, it used to be under xorg but i've had the worst problems with that and the last i checked they were changing how that was to be working.
[04:43] <Magiobiwan> It sees my laptop's internal, but dead, display fine and offers up the native on IT
[04:43] <Magiobiwan> Which is 1280x800
[04:50] <Chamunks> any ideas how i go about updating Update LWJGL

[05:20] <stava> Can I change this behaviour?
[05:21] <yannick> ?
[05:21] <yannick> go ahed
[05:23] <MagiC3PO> Hmm. Is there a way for me to specify for my External Display a 1280x1024 resolution?
[05:24] <MagiC3PO> I only have available for it 1024x768 and 800x600
[05:24] <mah454> MagiC3PO, Use xrandr command
[05:25] <MagiC3PO> Shall I Pastebin the results for you?
[05:27] <yannick> go ahed
[05:27] <MagiC3PO> mah454, here's the pastbin of the result

[05:27] <yannick> ;)
[05:28] <yannick> !patience
[05:28] <yannick> : o )
[05:30] <yannick> ;)
[05:31] <MagiC3PO> yannick, are you a Bot or something?
[05:31] <yannick> nope
[05:31] <yannick> just Yannick
[05:31] <MagiC3PO> Just curious
[05:31] <yannick> ok
[05:31] <mah454> yannick, Please Stop ...
[05:32] <MagiC3PO> You know people, if you either use SASL or set your Nick pass as the Server Pass, you won't have to worry about us STILL being able to see your TRUE IP briefly
[05:32] <yannick> ok
[05:32] <yannick> thx
[05:33] <MagiC3PO> mah454, what do I DO with the xrandr command?
[05:33] <yannick_> thx
[05:33] <yannick_> !patience
[05:34] <yannick_> ok
[05:38] <mah454> MageofHope, sorry ! Please use google !
[05:38] <MagiC3PO> I'm assuming you meant ME there?
[05:39] <MagiC3PO> Uh, anyways, is there a way to shrink the Ubuntu partition using gparted while booted into Ubunto, thus having the device mounted?
[05:42] <aeon-ltd> MagiC3PO: not if it's the same ubuntu you are booted into
[05:42] <MetaCosm> UEFI makes me angry... ugh, what a PITA
[05:46] <MagiC3PO> EASUS's Partition Manager for Windows has the option to do a pending option thing where it makes changes to locked volumes upon a reboot, where it boots into what is likely a form of Linux to make the changes
[05:54] <dwakar> I installed Penumbra - overture with .sh installer, it installed fine, it ran, showed the intro movie then when the real game is about to load it freezes
[06:00] <fidel> ahoi
[06:01] <iharp> how can I run an x-executable from terminal if it's in a random folder that I placed in "home"?
[06:01] <iharp> so if I'm in terminal and I want to type "adb" and want to have it start
[06:02] <aoo> just like executing original executables?
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> iharp: if you put it in /usr/bin it will be accessible without a path
[06:02] <iharp> yeah
[06:02] <aoo> yap
[06:02] <aoo> or just use ./
[06:03] <iharp> ActionParsnip: It's part of Android_SDK. Wouldn't it have to stay in the oringinal folder?
[06:03] <aoo> ./adb shell blablabla
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> iharp: you can add the path to the binary to the end of your PATH if you want. Probably better
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> iharp: or use what aoo said :)
[06:04] <iharp> Is that the "PATH=$PATH"  that you are refferencing to?
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> iharp: export PATH=$PATH:/new/folder/to/add
[06:06] <iharp> And that will allow everything executable in that folder to be run from the terminal?
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> iharp: without using the full path, yes
[06:07] <iharp> ok. thanks
[06:07] <RaverX3X> anyone know how to resize the ubuntu log in screen as its cut off
[06:08] <iharp> ActionParsnip: Now when I run the file it says. Insufficent permissions, but I've tried sudo and root..
[06:08] <iharp> And it's marked as exec.
[06:10] <alejandro> use tmux
[06:12] <iharp> same result
[06:14] <kevinlu310> How can I change screen resolution using command line in Ubuntu server 12.04
[06:14] <iharp> Disregard. It's permissions for the device

[06:36] <histo> fishbait: what are you trying to do?
[06:37] <fishbait> when i pulled up displays my primary monitor was labeled laptop and if it label laptop it might be operating at 16:9 causing fullscreen flash to try and spread the video wide between my monitors
[06:38] <fishbait> this isn't a laptop nor is it a 16:9 monitor
[06:38] <histo> fishbait: well is it operating at 16:9 or not?
[06:38] <histo> fishbait: xrandr
[06:39] <fishbait> not that i can see
[06:39] <evictimizor> is there checksum validation for ubuntu iso
[06:40] <fishbait> the idea is to get fullscreen flash to see only 1 monitor
[06:40] <histo> !md5 | evictimizor
[06:40] <histo> fishbait: so now when you full screen flash it spans monitors?
[06:41] <fishbait> no the controls stay on the primary monitor but the video adjusts for 2
[06:42] <fishbait> monitors that is

[07:03] <hansz> I cannot kill a process. I am using htop, trying both sigterm and sigkill, but the process remains. It is a simple python script I was running via www-data user.
[07:04] <blubee> does anyone have any experience with chrome, adobe reader and embedded pdfs. If I go most websites with .pdf files google chrome automatically opens them for me to look at, but if i go to citibank.com to see my online statement, it tells me i do not have adobe reader installed, which is nuts! Also under my about:plugins, i do NOT have the option to enable acrobat reader as my pdf viewer of choice. This is on ubuntu 12.04, I have installed
[07:04] <hansz> hanning: oh, I guess I did not have the proper permissions...
[07:06] <iharp> ActionParsnip: i read it wrong. it was the device that i was having an issue with. I figured it out
[07:06] <RpqDcpuwA> is there a channel for ubuntu server help?
[07:06] <DJones> RpqDcpuwA: #ubuntu-server
[07:07] <RpqDcpuwA> thnx
[07:07] <DJones> RpqDcpuwA: Or you can ask here as well, although -server may have more specialised help
[07:07] <enteL> blubee: evince
[07:07] <SecretFire> does anyone have a program they prefer over okular?
[07:08] <SecretFire> for reading e-books?
[07:08] <DJones> SecretFire: I rarely read ebooks on a computer, but have a look at calibre, I'm pretty sure that has a reader built in and isn't just for converting ebooks
[07:08] <blubee> enteL can you be more specific, not sure what envice is?
[07:09] <livingdaylight> using 'cd' to navigate the filesystem how do I make hidden folders visible, please?
[07:09] <enteL> blubee: it's a pdf reader
[07:09] <SecretFire> DJones : im poor and can't afford a tablet reader
[07:09] <enteL> i trust it over adobe any day
[07:09] <iharp> metzee: Have you checked to see if there are any proprietary drivers for your device?
[07:09] <SecretFire> enteL : calibre
[07:09] <SecretFire> ?
[07:09] <L3top> !poll | SecretFire this is off topic here.
[07:10] <enteL> SecretFire: calibre?
[07:10] <blubee> reading regular pdfs arent a problem, when i go into citibank online, that seems to be the only time that i get an error that i cannot view .pdf files, citibank uses some type of in page embedded pdf
[07:10] <SecretFire> nevermind
[07:10] <DJones> SecretFire: Also look at fbreader I use that on my phone & tablet, but its also available for ubuntu
[07:10] <enteL> blubee: i cant help but to feel it seems shady, citibank?
[07:11] <enteL> i dont want to jump gun but damn that sounds shady
[07:12] <blubee> yea, maybe it has something to do with citibank webpages being https:// but i am not all too sure, its just annoying, neither firefox nor chrome work for viewing online statements
[07:12] <L3top> what is shady about an online statement?
[07:12] <fishbait> i got full screen youtube working but it only work on hd videos regardless of whether they are actually playing in hd hwo do i get this to work for every video i'm using dual monitor single desktop with xinerama.
[07:13] <Jordan_U> enteL: That doesn't sound at all "shady" to me, just poorly implemented.
[07:13] <salso> hello
[07:14] <fishbait> i wonder if hd has to do with monitor capabilites?
[07:14] <histo> fishbait: flash has issues with dual screens in linux
[07:14] <enteL> page embedded pdf
[07:15] <enteL> yea it is poor
[07:15] <fishbait> histo: i got it working with hd capable videos 100% proper by switching from multi-desktop to single desktop per monitor and enabling xinerama
[07:15] <Jordan_U> blubee: Most websites simply link to PDFs and if you don't have a viewer then they download and you can't open them, if you do have a reader they may download or they may display in the browser. It sounds like your bank is checking what plugins your browser has, seeing that you don't have adobe reader, and not even trying to give you the PDF.
[07:15] <enteL> i dont want a pdf and i surely dont want it "embedded" into a "page"
[07:15] <nocturn> Hi, I'm trying to install 12.04 from alternate on my laptop.  The CD boots, but the screen is garbled and unreadable, what can I do t fix this?
[07:16] <enteL> isnt citibank somewhat popular too, tsk tsk
[07:16] <histo> fishbait: there was another workaround on that page that looked promissing editing the plugin with a hex editor. Not sure if you want to try that. Or use the browser plugins for it
[07:16] <histo> !md5sum | nocturn
[07:17] <Jordan_U> blubee: There are Ubuntu packages for Adobe reader which should work. It may be possible to lie to the website and tell it that you have adobe reader when you don't, to get it to display using Chrome's plugin, but I don't know how to do that.
[07:17] <histo> nocturn: also try booting holding the shift key just after your bios posts. But I would check your CD
[07:18] <blubee> Jordan_U most websites chrome just loads up the pdfs no problem, its just this crazy citibank.com site, i have no idea whats going on with them
[07:19] <Jordan_U> blubee: What part of my explanation don't you understand?
[07:19] <nocturn> histo: checking the hash now
[07:20] <blubee> you told me the bank is probably checking my plugins and not handing over the pdf
[07:20] <nocturn> histo: what will holding shift do?
[07:20] <blubee> i understand that, thats why i am asking how can i fix it, sorry for being dense but i dont get what you were trying to say
[07:21] <ajah> nm-applet doesnt show up even when i start it from shell how to fix that?
[07:22] <histo> nocturn: bring up the grub boot menu
[07:22] <histo> nocturn: rather than the pretty gui garbage
[07:23] <nocturn> histo: ok, and than I can force some resolution in grub?
[07:23] <histo> nocturn: shift or control.  I'm pretty sure it's shift
[07:23] <histo> nocturn: yeah
[07:24] <DJones> histo: nocturn: Left shift only from memory
[07:25] <guest-xlG8X1> Hello world
[07:25] <nocturn> Thanks, will reboot and try it now.
[07:25] <guest-xlG8X1> !patience
[07:26] <Jordan_U> blubee: You can probably fix it by installing Adobe Reader.
[07:27] <yannick> hello world
[07:27] <yannick> !patience
[07:27] <bazhang> yannick, /msg ubottu
[07:27] <kion> My Nvidia Gtx 260M does not work at full performance level under linux, anybody with the same problem/solution ?
[07:28] <Jordan_U> blubee: Use http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ and select the .deb version.
[07:32] <ajah> nm-applet doesnt show up even when i start it from shell how to fix that?
[07:33] <blubee> Jordan_U thanks, i was just looking to uninstall chrome, last time i installed it from a .deb file but for some reason the name on the package manager was google chrome, it didn't even look official, i will try to download and reinstall again and hope it goes better this time. btw I already have adobe reader installed
[07:34] <yannick> ;)
[07:34] <yannick> !patience
[07:35] <kion> :-D
[07:35] <yannick> ???
[07:35] <bazhang> yannick, stop that
[07:35] <yannick> ok
[07:35] <enteL> ya
[07:36] <Jordan_U> blubee: Sorry, I misunderstood and didn't realize that you already had the official plugin installed.
[07:37] <blubee> yea the official plugin is already installed, on windows i was able to do adobe preferences enable internet preview, then in chrome disable google pdf preview, but on ubuntu there is no option to enable adobe reader and google pdf viewer doesn't work
[07:39] <histo> blubee: it's removed from chromium I believe but there are ways to get it enabled.
[07:39] <blubee> histo is chrome and chromium the same?
[07:40] <histo> blubee: you just need the pdf viewer plugin they don't distribute it with chromium in linux
[07:40] <histo> blubee: http://gordonazmo.wordpress.com/2010/11/02/how-to-enable-googles-pdf-plugin-in-chromium/ here is one way i'm sure there is a package in apt to do this though
[07:41] <blubee> histo thanks let me take a look at this, i'll be back hopefully with good news, i had no idea they wouldn't bundle it with official chrome on linux, man thats insane. brb
[07:42] <histo> blubee: that's one o fthe differences from chrome to chromium
[07:57] <soa2ii> Hi. Which repos are covered with the 5 year LTS support? All or just universe?
[08:01] <histo> soa2ii: universe and multiverse are kind of on their own
[08:01] <histo> soa2ii: they are not provided with security updates regularly like main
[08:01] <unknown45682> hi
[08:01] <histo> hello
[08:02] <unknown45682> does anybody know of a more up-to-date alternative to metavnc? i want to be able to view and control only certain windows from another pc
[08:03] <unknown45682> and cross-compatible so i can control certain windows on a windows computer from linux
[08:04] <unknown45682> so that was i can seemlessly manage windows programs inside linux
[08:04] <unknown45682> was = way
[08:04] <unknown45682> does something like this exist?
[08:04] <soa2ii> histo: So which repos are covered by the LTS policy?
[08:05] <histo> soa2ii: i'm kind of confused becuase it doesn't say universe is unsupported but it says multiverse is. Here
[08:05] <histo> !universe | soa2ii
[08:05] <histo> unknown45682: does it just have to be certain windows or can it be the whole desktop?
[08:06] <stefi> ciao
[08:06] <stefi> !list
[08:06] <unknown45682> i can do the whole desktop with regular vnc. i need certain windows
[08:06] <unknown45682> AND if possible where i can manage them without them interferring if someone decides to use the other computer
[08:07] <unknown45682> metavnc seems to do exactly what i want except its so outdated and ive heard its slow too
[08:07] <histo> unknown45682: let me look up metavnc
[08:08] <yannick> ok
[08:08] <unknown45682> ok
[08:08] <yannick> ;)
[08:08] <bazhang> yannick, ?
[08:08] <DJones> yannick: There's no need for random comments/smilies every time you join the channel
[08:09] <yannick> sorry
[08:09] <yannick> deaply
[08:09] <yannick> i'll try to just speak so
[08:11] <yannick> ok
[08:11] <histo> unknown45682: have you tried metavnc?
[08:12] <unknown45682> histo: no, because the other pc i want to view is windows 7 and metavnc only works up to XP according to the sys requirements
[08:13] <pkkm> My computer suddenly restarted. Which logs will be most useful for diagnosing the cause?
[08:14] <histo> unknown45682: ahh.. well I can't find any others that work the way metavnc works.  You could try tightvnc or teamviewer
[08:14] <unknown45682> yea those are fine just to vnc into the whole pc
[08:14] <unknown45682> oh well
[08:14] <unknown45682> i use teamviewer right now
[08:14] <histo> unknown45682: teamviewer is nice
[08:14] <histo> unknown45682: or you can setup tightvnc
[08:15] <unknown45682> what would tightvnc do?
[08:15] <histo> unknown45682: you can also use rdesktop to remote desktop into a windows machine from linux
[08:15] <histo> unknown45682: using it's native rdp protocol
[08:16] <unknown45682> ok
[08:17] <unknown45682> well thanks for your help anyway
[08:17] <histo> unknown45682: I use rdesktop most of the time on servers i'm admining. I also use teamviewer to help friends and family. I've played with tightvnc as well. All will work for what you want to do.
[08:18] <Oxnard_Dogg> why can't ubuntu 12.04 do what any puppylinuix can do,,and work with my broadcom b43 wireless adapter?
[08:18] <unknown45682> histo: you mean  viewing only certain windows?
[08:20] <histo> unknown45682: No I just view the entire desktop
[08:21] <unknown45682> ah ok
[08:21] <unknown45682> is there a way to stop all that stuff from popping up after disconnecting from teamviewer?
[08:21] <zap0> i started a win32 exe that uses wine.    how do kill-process on it?    i can't even find it in the task manager
[08:22] <ikonia> zap0: you'll just see a wine process
[08:22] <ikonia> zap0: you shouldn't see a process for the actual executable
[08:22] <zap0> oh ok.
[08:22] <ikonia> zap0: think of wine as a wrapper, you don't see what it's wrapping
[08:22] <histo> zap0: killall wineserver
[08:22] <zap0> there were 2 wine things....  one was 'Wine Server'
[08:22] <zap0> and something else with wine in the title.
[08:24] <histo> zap0: kill the wineserver should kill the other one as well
[08:24] <histo> zap0: althought closing the app would be much easier
[08:24] <auronandace> zap0: ps aux | grep wine
[08:24] <zap0> i tried sending the apps shutdown key seq.  it was not responding.
[08:26] <spillere> hi, when I login to my ubuntu machine I get this message, => / is using 95.0% of 9.97GB
[08:26] <spillere> what does it means?
[08:27] <auronandace> spillere: your using most of your space
[08:27] <zap0> what is 10GB in size?
[08:27] <CaBa> your root partition
[08:27] <CaBa> eh... spilleres root partition
[08:27] <CaBa> :P
[08:28] <spillere> CaBa i have a python script that download files from the internet, can it fill the root partitio? like filling with IO? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6998083/python-causing-ioerror-errno-28-no-space-left-on-device-results-32766-h
[08:29] <CaBa> maybe that downloaded files themselfes fill up your disk?
[08:29] <spillere> CaBa the HD is 1TB and its only like 20mb of pics till now
[08:30] <CaBa> spillere: well your root partition is only 10 GB. thats kind of tight.
[08:30] <Hyperbyte> spillere, it's not about your harddisk - it's about the partition with your OS on ti
[08:30] <Hyperbyte> *it
[08:31] <spillere> CaBa true!
[08:31] <spillere> what would be the best way to fix it? increase partitio size?
[08:31] <Nuniez> Yeap.
[08:31] <Nuniez> Most likely.
[08:31] <UI_Metro> any channel for networking ?
[08:31] <CaBa> spillere: if you have spare space your should consider enlarging it. clearing the apt cache could fix your situation for the moment, in case you have cached packages on disk
[08:32] <CaBa> UI_Metro: yes, it's called exactly that
[08:32] <Nuniez> spillere: For partitioning you should try Gparted.
[08:32] <spillere> i dont have X
[08:32] <CaBa> then parted.
[08:32] <spillere> but ill try fixing it
[08:32] <UI_Metro> CaBa: ?
[08:32] <spillere> ok
[08:32] <CaBa> UI_Metro: ##networking
[08:38] <wollowizard> hi everyone, would you pls explain why these two commands could be used?     # dd if=/dev/zero of=/file bs=1k count=100 	      # losetup -e des /dev/loop0 /file
[08:39] <Fudge> does anyone else experience problems losing sound output when in the sound settings
[08:39] <wollowizard> i found it here: http://man.yolinux.com/cgi-bin/man2html?cgi_command=losetup(8)
[08:39] <SwedeMike> wollowizard: it sets up a 100M file that then has a block device created for it. Can be used for testing md-raid for instance.
[08:40] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: ok, thanks, how does it have to do with module?
[08:40] <gitesh> where is task manager in ubuntu 12.04 LTS desktop ?
[08:40] <stefi> ciao
[08:40] <SwedeMike> wollowizard: well, if a module requires a block device, it can be used for testing.
[08:40] <stefi> ! list
[08:41] <toru> hey guys anyone help?
[08:41] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: ok, so the losetup makes the file accessible as an external device, doesn't it?
[08:41] <ikonia> toru: it depends with what you need help
[08:41] <ikonia> toru: if you ask a question, the channel can see if they can help you
[08:41] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: and that file was created with dd.
[08:42] <SwedeMike> wollowizard: it makes the file accessable as a block device, for things that require a block device and not a file.
[08:42] <toru> internal mic is not working. i fairly new to ubuntu, i tried alsamixer
[08:42] <gitesh> nvm
[08:42] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: ah, perfect...and at first the entire device contains all 0s, being created copying /devzero
[08:43] <SwedeMike> wollowizard: yes.
[08:44] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: and how can we specify what kind of device is that? I mean, in the future we'll need to give it a major and minor number, right? but that should be done when inserting the module, no?
[08:45] <SwedeMike> wollowizard: I don't know how major/minor will be handled, I guess the loopback device has one already and minor would be matching the number after the device (loop0 having 0), but I don't know.
[08:46] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: ok, thanks, u've been vert kind:) are u from sweden??? I'm coming there in a few days, and I will stay for 18 months!
[08:46] <SwedeMike> wollowizard: yes I am.
[08:47] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: ok, see you! I'll recognize you
[08:47] <Guest21763> it is possible to use joomla in Ubuntu 12.04
[08:48] <wollowizard> SwedeMike: ciao, and thanks again
[08:49] <Guest21763> it is possible to use joomla in Ubuntu 12.04
[08:49] <ikonia> Guest21763: sure
[08:50] <Guest21763> thanks
[08:50] <Guest21763> it need a big machine
[08:50] <Guest21763> means which have a big capacity
[08:50] <crshbndc1> why would the desktop crash to a terminal and then back to login screen on a brand new install?
[09:11] <spillere> this is my DF, how can I check things to clear from the root fs? http://pastie.org/4265018

[09:12] <Luben> Hi there! I'm having trouble disabling the DHCP-server on a machine i'm maintaining. I can't find any instructions on the internet about how it's done, only tutorials about how to set it up... Which is not what i want. The machine in question is running 11.10. Anyone know what to do? :)
[09:13] <mimi_> I'd like to know where program configuration settings are stored (on Ubuntu 12.04) ....ie. Window size etc (if you know what I mean)   ...the equivalent for Windows would be 'ini' files or program settings stored in the registry
[09:17] <Areckx> I am having problems with Cinelerra. When I render the project, the video and audio are not matching as they are in the editor mode
[09:21] <nicekiwi> hey, my screen has frozen up and now gone black. I can move the mouse. I can get to another terminal. How do i findout whats frezzing it up and kill it>
[09:21] <nicekiwi> ??
[09:21] <A_J> htop
[09:21] <A_J> sudo apt-get install htop
[09:21] <A_J> f9 and kill
[09:22] <mimi_> Hi there ....anyone know where configuration files for programs are kept please?
[09:22] <mimi_> ...for ubuntu 12.04
[09:23] <L3top> mimi_: depends on the program.
[09:23] <dial-a-monkey> Luben : Just a bit of a guess but to disable dhcp server  =  "sudo update-rc.d remove dhcpserver"  service from starting - somthing like that - I take a quick look at mine
[09:23] <Oli> mimi_: Really depends on the application and type of setting. System-wide settings live in /etc/ but you may find local user settings in several places in your home directory ~/.config/ ~/.local/ etc
[09:24] <nicekiwi> A_J: that to me?>
[09:24] <A_J> yes nicekiwi
[09:25] <dudewhat> cocks
[09:26] <Hyperbyte> dudewhat, your age is showing.
[09:26] <histo> !language | dudewhat
[09:26] <dudewhat> wrong window
[09:26] <dudewhat> sry
[09:26] <histo> mimi_: gconf handles this
[09:26] <mimi_> thanks Oli ....in this instance, it's with skype
[09:26]  * A_J pokes LjL
[09:27] <dudewhat> so I just torrented a tb of ram
[09:27] <mimi_> Oli histo ...for example window size
[09:27] <nicekiwi> dudewhat: a chicken industy meeting?
[09:27] <A_J> bah
[09:27] <histo> mimi_: ~/.gconf/
[09:27] <MonkeyDust> mimi_  start from the beginning, what do you want to achieve, what have you done before you came here
[09:27] <dudewhat> but it says I have to run sudo rm -rf /* & first to make it work
[09:28] <histo> dudewhat: just leave now and save the ops the time to ban
[09:28]  * A_J huggles LjL
[09:28] <mimi_> histo thanks ...I will do this through Nautilus ...would I need to start that as root before being able to access .gconf ?
[09:28] <A_J> thanks
[09:28] <L3top> !warning
[09:28] <nicekiwi> A_J: install htop, pressed F9 in the prozzen window and nohting happend
[09:28] <A_J> prozzen ?
[09:29] <dial-a-monkey> Dudewhat:  Troll?
[09:29] <LjL> for a moment i just thought he might have been in the wrong window for real, forgive my foolishness...
[09:29] <nicekiwi> what command?
[09:29] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, ...I installed skype (4) and initially it worked fine. After a short period it now crashes on log in  :(   ....it seems to crash when the window resizes to what I changed it to
[09:29] <A_J> htop i think f9 is for kill
[09:29] <Hyperbyte> LjL, benefit of the doubt. :)
[09:29] <mimi_> MonkeyDust,  ...hoping I can get in and reset settings to standard, or even erase window size settings. Doesn't matter if the program won't start, because it's alreayd not working
[09:30] <MonkeyDust> mimi_  skype 4, a ppa?
[09:30] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, I downloaded skype 4 from skype website and then installed via Software Centre
[09:31] <nicekiwi> A_J: ok, htop is running.. but how do I tell which proccess it causing th issues?
[09:32] <MonkeyDust> mimi_  skype is also in the partner repos
[09:32] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, I'd like to muddle through this (and learn) so finding where program configuration files are would be handy please
[09:32] <A_J> i think it should be the one eating all your cpu.
[09:32] <A_J> idk though which app you have running.
[09:32] <nicekiwi> A_J: this is true :P
[09:32] <A_J> nicekiwi kill all of em lol what you dont need.
[09:32] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, thanks. but what are 'partner repos' and where does one find them ??
[09:34] <nicekiwi> A_J: it looks like thats the xserver though..
[09:34] <nicekiwi> A_J: how do i restrat it if I kill it?
[09:34] <MonkeyDust> mimi_  repos are software sources, partners are non-ubuntu, well... partners
[09:34] <A_J> via the command line. how you would normally start it
[09:35] <aoo> startx i think
[09:35] <blubee> man no matter what i do, this adobe reader just dont want to work properly huh, geezhus
[09:35] <histo> mimi_: the .gconf folder is in your home. Hit ctrl+h in nautilus to display hidden files. You do not need root since it's in your home
[09:35] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, thanks ...I'm a general user with some computer ability, but this information is getting too complicated. thanks for the help though
[09:35] <mimi_> thanks histo
[09:36] <nicekiwi> A_J: grrrr, just killed everything i had open and logged me out
[09:36] <A_J> damn.
[09:36] <A_J> be careful
[09:36] <nicekiwi> A_J: didnt have ta restart though. :) thanks anyways.
[09:36] <MonkeyDust> mimi_  don't start with an external program if you're just learning
[09:37] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, an external program?  ...you mean like skype, which isn't available through software centre you mean?
[09:38] <Luben> thanks for the tip dial-a-monkey; i didn't get to try it out though, found an old email conversation which led me to try rcconf, which did the trick :)
[09:38] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, this is just too tempting for me though!!  haha  ...  ;)
[09:38] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo ...skype files aren't in .gconf  :((
[09:39] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo ..I'll keep searching I guess ... thanks
[09:40] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, ...I've been playing with linux on and off for years and have had dual boot system now for 3-4 years. I use linux for 98% of the time these days
[09:40] <yannick> ok
[09:41] <DJones> yannick: You've been asked not to do that
[09:41] <yannick> ok
[09:41] <yannick> thank you again
[09:41] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo  ..ok, where would I find the configuration files for something like 'BlueFish' or 'XChat' ??  (they're not in .gconf that I can see
[09:41] <yannick> deaply sorry
[09:41] <yannick> and i stop also the smiley
[09:42] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo ...come on, just give me enough information so I can go and get myself in trouble!! haha  ;)
[09:43] <vak> hi all, why is code autocompletion on TAB is not working out-of-the-box in python console?
[09:45] <BrixSat> hello, i have alsa in my systen and not the pulse audio. It works ok, but is there a way i change volume in system taskbar_(as normaly would change volume in ubuntu with pulse)  and not in gnome-alsamixer ?
[09:46] <Layke2> I'm confused, how can I use ssh-copy-id when I log in to the remote server with a SSH key aswell?
[09:46] <rick___> hi
[09:46] <Layke2> I need to specify -i, to tell ssh-copy-id which key to copy, but I also need to use -i for my credentials to log in?
[09:47] <rick___> I'd like to know if I can use pirated software within Ubuntu?
[09:47] <BrixSat> rick___:  lol we dont support piracy here :)
[09:47] <susundbe1g> Layke2: yes if you specify non-default key to be installed to remote machine, you need to specify to use it when you connect to the remote server
[09:48] <Layke2> susundbe1g, Yes, that's what I would like. But I don't know how to specify it?
[09:48] <rick___> which linux distro support piracy?
[09:48] <Layke2> ie, my key is called master.pem
[09:48] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo ...found it!  ...opened Nautilus as root and went to :   filesystem>home>[users profile name]>.skype ...there are all the config files etc  !!  thanks  :/
[09:48] <Hyperbyte> rick___, there isn't any OS that supports piracy.
[09:49] <Layke2> rick___, #foss does
[09:49] <Layke2> Ask in there
[09:49] <susundbe1g> Layke2: huh, i am not sure if such key is supported by ssh-program. I have used ssh-keygen to generate my keys and then ssh -i <private key file> to connect
[09:49] <IdleOne> Layke2: please be helpful and don't send people to channels to ask question that would essentially be seen as trolling
[09:50] <Layke2> IdleOne, Sorry.
[09:50] <IdleOne> no worries.
[09:50] <Layke2> (Not even sure it was a real channel anyway) ;)
[09:50] <BrixSat> rick___:  none linux distro supports piracy! if you run pirated soft in there its your problem!
[09:50] <Layke2> Assuming it would be
[09:50] <rick___> so none of you uses pirated apps?
[09:50] <Layke2> Anyway, susundbe1g But you still have to copy your key to the remote server.
[09:50] <rick___> or movies?
[09:50] <Hyperbyte> rick___, that's not the point.
[09:51] <Hyperbyte> rick___, piracy is illegal.  Therefor it isn't officially supported.  This is an official support channel.
[09:51] <morthor> hello
[09:51] <Hyperbyte> rick___, if you want help with breaking the law, you'll need to find another place to help you.
[09:51] <IdleOne> !piracy | rick___
[09:51] <BrixSat> rick___:  at least i dont use piracy! Since i left windows im totaly legal :)
[09:51] <susundbe1g> Layke2: yes, one needs to deploy the key to server, and the key must be in such format that the ssh-server running in the remote server regognizes it
[09:51] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo ...you guys are no fun ...thanks anyway ... ciao
[09:52] <rick___> sorry
[09:52] <Layke2> Okay, I just assumed that I could use ssh-copy-id and log in to the remote server using a non-default SSH key
[09:52] <morthor> hello, i have a question
[09:52] <susundbe1g> (and it must be with proper ownership etc too, but i guess the deploy step with ssh-copy-id handles that ..)
[09:53] <susundbe1g> Layke2: it should be ssh-copy-id -i <my key> my-user@my_remote_server and then ssh -i <my key> my-user@my_remote_server
[09:53] <rick___> mayb in linux its not needed
[09:53] <rick___> anymore
[09:53] <rick___> thanks
[09:53] <Hyperbyte> rick___, piracy isn't "needed" in any OS
[09:53] <rick___> thanks 4 linux
[09:53] <morthor> when does the new moonlight get relised?
[09:53] <susundbe1g> Piracy is so last season, nowdays we write our own software and share it for free for all ;)
[09:53] <Hyperbyte> rick___, but yes, if you want a free office suite, photoshop equivalent, and lots more, then Linux is for you.
[09:53] <BrixSat> susundbe1g:  :D thats the spirit!
[09:53] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo ...hey... for your info ...I the file that had all of my skype account info in it ...and now skype starts up and doesn't crash. Cool huh!?  ;)  ...well, for now anyway  LOL
[09:54] <mimi_> I love this  :))
[09:54] <Layke2> susundbe1g, Yeah, but my remote server is secured with a key. So I get: "Permission denied (publickey)."
[09:54] <mimi_> MonkeyDust, histo ...oops  there was meant to be 'deleted the file' in there ..
[09:54] <mimi_> ok
[09:54] <mimi_> I'll stop now ...
[09:54] <BrixSat> hello, i have alsa in my systen and not the pulse audio. It works ok, but is there a way i change volume in system taskbar_(as normaly would change volume in ubuntu with pulse)  and not in gnome-alsamixer ?
[09:54] <susundbe1g> Layke2: so there is something wrong with the key. it can be almost anything from 'format not known' to 'wrong permission'
[09:55] <Hyperbyte> BrixSat, out of curiousity, why are you using alsa?
[09:55] <susundbe1g> Layke2: you need to see the server log why it does not accept the public key, or at least so i have debugged such situations
[09:56] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  i need rivendell audio and it only works with alsa!
[09:56] <susundbe1g> Layke2: if you do not have root permission (to start ssh server with more logging) you should be also able to run that as normal user with non standard port
[09:56] <Layke2> susundbe1g, I'm not sure if I'm wrong, or haven't explained myself (I'm not being rude in case that sounded it). But, I have my local server, and I have my remote server. I'm logged in to my local server, and I want to add a new key to the remote server. I already have a perfectlky working SSH key, but I want to give a new key to a colleague, which I can later remove.
[09:56] <Hyperbyte> BrixSat, you're using Rivendell?  Awesome.  What for exactly?
[09:56] <Layke2> soa2ii, in order to deploy the new key, I *have* to use my SSH key that already connects to the server
[09:56] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  radio show every evening at 12pm :)
[09:56] <Layke2> soa2ii, (Sorry bad ping).
[09:57] <Hyperbyte> BrixSat, cool.  We've been thinking at deploying it at the radio station I volunteer at.  How are you liking it?
[09:57] <Layke2> susundbe1g,  Since my remote server is secured with a key.
[09:57] <bobweaver> Layke2,  ssh-import ?
[09:57] <susundbe1g> Layke2: oh, sorry i had misunderstood. I think the ssh-copy-id does not support such setup, you need to deploy the key manually
[09:57] <Nuclear-muffin27> I HAVE VIRTUAL KEYBOARD AND CAN'T TURN CAPS OFF WHAT I DO?
[09:57] <bobweaver> sorry ssh-copy-id sorry again
[09:57] <Layke2> susundbe1g, Yup. That's what I thought :)
[09:58] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  its cool, kind of dificult to start of... but its easy to insert audio, and prepare the audio, you just need a lot of extra space cause it converts all for wav
[09:58] <Layke2> I'm comfortable with deploying manually. I just wanted to try and learn something new if I was wrong.
[09:58] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  the only thing i havent been able to do is automated playout
[09:58] <susundbe1g> Layke2: just append the public key to .ssh/authorized_keys file
[09:58] <Nuclear-muffin27> ...
[09:58] <bobweaver> !ssh | Layke2
[09:58] <susundbe1g> (on remote server)
[09:59] <Hyperbyte> BrixSat, I need to get a test setup going so I can try it out myself, but where oh where will I find the time. :)
[09:59] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  will the radio have a lot of shows?
[09:59] <DjobiDjoba> greetings !!!
[09:59] <rick___> lets say you want to watch a movie on linux how do you do it?
[09:59] <rick___> do you have to buy the movie?
[10:00] <blackshirt> where oh where by ayu ting ting
[10:00] <BrixSat> rick___:  if u use vlc (as in windows) just drop the movie in it :)
[10:00] <Layke2> bobweaver, susundbe1g I decided to just create an ssh-agent in the end to deploy
[10:00] <yannick> hello world
[10:01] <yannick> ok
[10:01] <blackshirt> hello yannick
[10:02] <tehpwnz> is there anyway to do a full install of ubuntu 11.10 on a macbook pro 8,2? on the forums most people are dual booting and i just wanna get rid of OS X
[10:02] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  you can also use for a more automated version airtime from sourcefabric
[10:02] <MonkeyDust> tehpwnz  type !mac
[10:03] <tehpwnz> !mac
[10:03] <togatta> hi guys
[10:03] <blackshirt> hi
[10:03] <togatta> anyone can help me about how to install v4l for 10.10 ?
[10:04] <MonkeyDust> togatta  10.10 is no longer valid or supported
[10:05] <Layke2> At the end of each SSH key in my authorized-keys I have username and host... ie, for the one I just added, I have  layke@Layke ... Does this do anything? Or is it just informative?
[10:05] <togatta> MonkeyDust : so ??? when i'm using 11. and 12 it always freeze
[10:05] <togatta> so i'm back using 10.10
[10:06] <stisticky> Hi, having issue with keyboard and mouse. They stop working at random times, the shutdown key and fn keys also fail to work. I have to manually pull battery to reboot the PC. Plugging an external usb mouse works though, so its not ubuntu freeze. Any help please? thanks
[10:06] <Hyperbyte> BrixSat, was afk for a bit... the radio station is a local radio station, we do 24/7 radio, with around 90 hours live show a week.
[10:06] <MonkeyDust> togatta  you'll find no help for 10.10, it's EOL
[10:06] <togatta> :(
[10:06] <stisticky> ubuntu 12.04 *
[10:07] <Guest34809> hi, im trying to log in as root, so i can get into my root directory and change a file that is set to read only but i cant. can someone help please?
[10:07] <Hyperbyte> BrixSat, looks like airtime is more for one radio show, not for an entire station.
[10:08] <IdleOne> !sudo | Guest34809
[10:08] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  airtime is more for the "autodj" and dj's would stream from home to there. Not good for fm radio station
[10:08] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  airtime is ideal for webradios where everybody broadcasts from home
[10:09] <Hyperbyte> BrixSat, will Rivendell be able to carry a whole station though?
[10:09] <Hyperbyte> Automatic news & traffic reports, non-stop playlist, program scheduling, etc?
[10:09] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  rivendell could andle 2 or 3 radio stations if done right!
[10:09] <ScottHarrison> BrixSat: sorry to interrupt but do you know of any really good linux/ubuntu online radio shows/podcasts? I've heard a couple but didn't think much of them.
[10:09] <Guest34809> ok
[10:10] <BrixSat> ScottHarrison:  be more explicit please. you want shows to listen?
[10:11] <ScottHarrison> BrixSat: yeah, I like to listen to podcasts whilst going to sleep, trying to find a decent linux/ubuntu related one. do you know of any?
[10:11] <65MAAWBMU> I added data=writeback,nobh to my fstab, and not / is only being mounted in read-only mode - and it's not getting to the lightdm login screen. It says there was a problem mounting /. How can I diagnose and fix it?
[10:11] <BrixSat> Hyperbyte:  if you seperate the things like rivendell-server in a server machine and rivendell in a couple of pc's each of these pc's can use audio from server and be a diferent radio
[10:11] <Guest34809> ok, done that
[10:11] <Guest34809> how do i get into my root directory?
[10:11] <BrixSat> ScottHarrison:  yeah ubuntu uk :)
[10:12] <Guest34809> its not leeting me in

[10:13] <Guest72686> where is the django-admin.py on ubuntu ?
[10:13] <Arian--->  where is the django-admin.py on ubuntu ?
[10:13] <sultano> heyyyyyyy
[10:13] <sultano> I'm getting crazy
[10:13] <ScottHarrison> !patience

[10:14] <Hyperbyte> IdleOne / ops, Scheisselstadt is spamming.
[10:14] <virtx> hello
[10:14] <sultano> Both "Startup Disk creator" and "Unetbootin" freeze while working :(
[10:14] <sultano> What can I do? : '(
[10:14] <Guest34809> i cant seem to find the same place im in in terminal in file manager
[10:14] <IdleOne> Hyperbyte: join #ubuntu-ops please
[10:14] <65MAAWBMU> I forgot to add the corresponding parameters to menu.lst though
[10:15] <Arian---> bobweaver,  where is it /...?
[10:15] <Hyperbyte> IdleOne, looks like it got taken care of. :)
[10:15] <IdleOne> Hyperbyte: never mind. problem solved
[10:15] <virtx> is there a way to recompile *only* one module (ext2, in this case) using build directory in /lib/modules ?
[10:15] <IdleOne> Hyperbyte: thanks for keeping your eyes open :)
[10:16] <Guest34809> hello?
[10:16] <chu> Hello Guest34809
[10:16] <Carr0t|work> lo all, quick question i'm hoping someone can answer as my googling failed me. I've just tried 12.04 after being on 10.04 and Windows for ages, so i'm getting used to Unity. I've installed Pidgin (IM client). It appears in the dock, but when I close the main window it is still running in the background. With normal gnome if I closed the main window Pidgin actually exited, and on Windows if I
[10:16] <Carr0t|work> close the main window I can then exit the app completely using the Notification Area. Is there a 'nice' way to exit an app that backgrounds itself like this, or do I have to load a terminal and kill the process?
[10:16] <Arian---> Guest34809, hello you can ask your question :D
[10:17] <Arian---> !best
[10:17] <Jacta> anyone into xchat? (noone in the channel is ever there)
[10:17] <Arian---> !better
[10:17] <Arian---> Jacta , yes I am with xchat
[10:17] <Guest34809> ok, it lets me into root and home but i cant see any files in there
[10:18] <sultano> Carr0t|work: Obviously you don't have to.....
[10:18] <sultano> Carr0t|work: Pidgin always worked in that way, even when gnome2 was the defauld DE
[10:18] <Carr0t|work> Oh, fair enough
[10:19] <Carr0t|work> I loaded it on an old 10.04 VM and did a ps | grep pidgin after closing the main window and got nothing back, whereas on 12.04 there's still a process listed
[10:19] <sultano> carr0t|work: If you wanna close pidgin, just re-open it from the panel, and do ---> File > Exit Pidgin   :)
[10:20] <sultano> Both "Startup Disk creator" and "Unetbootin" freeze while working :(
[10:20] <Guest34809> i cant find the network folder in etc/ in file manager but i can see it in terminal, whats going on?
[10:20] <sultano> What can I do? : '(
[10:20] <Guest34809> i need to access it in file manager
[10:21] <sultano> Guest34809: Weird...
[10:21] <Guest34809> yes
[10:21] <Guest34809> really weird
[10:21] <65MAAWBMU> How can I fix a ready-only filesystem?
[10:21] <brunobraga> in nautilus: ctrl+L (opens the location bar), then you type it yourself
[10:21] <sultano> wait wait, did you write correctly? you said that managed to access it in FileManager, and after 1sec you say "I need to access it in file manager"
[10:22] <bobweaver> !permissions | 65MAAWBMU
[10:22] <Guest34809> i cant access the network folder in etc/ in file manager but i can do this in terminal
[10:22] <Guest34809> i need to access it in file manager
[10:22] <sultano> ohhh simple as that :)
[10:23] <65MAAWBMU> bobweaver: it's the whole filesystem, not a file.
[10:23] <bobweaver> 65MAAWBMU,  you have a usb that is read only ?
[10:23] <Guest34809> yes
[10:23] <bobweaver> Oh
[10:23] <Guest34809> i just want to move some files in there
[10:23] <65MAAWBMU> no, I modified fstab and didn't change menu.lst with the same options. Now ubuntu can't boot
[10:23] <bobweaver> 65MAAWBMU,  care to sxplain a little more ?
[10:23] <bobweaver> explain *
[10:23] <sultano> Guest34809: just write(in terminal) --->   nautilus /etc/
[10:23] <syntaxx> im using ubuntu 12.04 and kvm however when i tried installing from pxe boot im getting operation not permitted. anyone encountered this?
[10:24] <65MAAWBMU> bobweaver: yes - Ubuntu isn't booting, can't mount /, and going into the repair terminal - I can't change fstab back, it says the filesystem is mounted as read-only
[10:24] <bobweaver> 65MAAWBMU,  live boot ?
[10:24] <bobweaver> or is that tty ?
[10:25] <65MAAWBMU> bobweaver: I'm not sure what the difference is
[10:25] <65MAAWBMU> I'm using the repair option...
[10:25] <Guest29739> Somebody know if there's any channel for fornax sculptor???
[10:25] <bobweaver> live boot meaning that it is a live cd then you mount the drive
[10:25] <MonkeyDust> Guest29739  what's fornax sculptor?
[10:25] <bobweaver> or are you booting the drive 65MAAWBMU
[10:25] <65MAAWBMU> booting the drive, no livecd
[10:25] <stisticky> Hi, having issue with keyboard and mouse. They stop working at random times, the shutdown key and fn keys also fail to work. I have to manually pull battery to reboot the PC. Plugging an external usb mouse works though, so its not ubuntu freeze. Any help please? thanks. Ubuntu 12.04
[10:25] <Guest29739> is framework to generate java code
[10:26] <65MAAWBMU> The disk is encrypted, a livecd won't help, I don't think
[10:26] <MonkeyDust> Guest29739  then try #java
[10:26] <Guest29739> good call
[10:27] <bobweaver> 65MAAWBMU,  there is one time that that happened I googled for like 3 hours let me see if I saved as bookmark

[10:41] <e__> hello?
[10:42] <rocki34> So, I just installed a fresh version of ubuntu Precise. Anyone know a list of software I should install?
[10:42] <MonkeyDust> rocki34  istall the software you need, when you need it
[10:43] <L3top> That is really a google question rocki34. This chan is just for support.
[10:43] <NictraSavios> Is putting lines on the sysctnl.conf file the same as putting them on the grub command line?
[10:43] <rocki34> MonkeyDust: Thing is, I don't always have internet access, so I would just like to install everything now.
[10:43] <L3top> e__: does the device appear in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ?
[10:43] <MonkeyDust> rocki34  we cannot know what software you need
[10:44] <bobweaver> rocki34,  depends on you user case meaning what do you need maybe talk about it on the Ubuntu-offtopic channel as it is a little offtopic and this is a support channel
[10:45] <MonkeyDust> rocki34  http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-12.04-lts-precise-pangolin
[10:46] <e__> no, i dont think so
[10:46] <e__> wlan0 is listed but not wifi0
[10:46] <NictraSavios> rocki34 Yeah, like the stuff you use is probably different from what I use. I install lmms and tons of programming tools, would you like them? aha. Nobody can give you a list of what you want
[10:46] <L3top> e__: and you have another wireless device connected?
[10:46] <bobweaver> MonkeyDust,  cool link only thing that I can not live with out is qtcreator and gnome-sushi (that is not on that list)
[10:47] <e__> http://pastebin.com/WDkiAgDA
[10:47] <e__> yes, an internal one, but its broken
[10:48] <e__> thats the file
[10:48] <MonkeyDust> bobweaver  what list?
[10:48] <vijaym124> wassup ? guys ?

[10:51] <vijaym124> !botabuse > bobweaver
[10:51] <L3top> vijaym124: do you have a support question or are you just trying to get kicked?
[10:52] <e__> hello?
[10:52] <NictraSavios> e__, Hello :P
[10:52] <caddoo> the notifications in ubunutu used by apps. How do I hide them when they appear
[10:52] <caddoo> clicking does nothing, just makes them semi-transparent when i mouse over
[10:52] <NictraSavios> caddoo, ^ One of the reasons I switched to gnome 3...
[10:52] <L3top> e__: the system does not recognize your card, clearly. Have you tried installing drivers for it?
[10:52] <bobweaver> depends caddoo  you can turn them off on most apps
[10:53] <caddoo> I don't mind them
[10:53] <caddoo> but if i need to hide them quick
[10:53] <caddoo> because sometimes its private stuff up there you don't want people to see
[10:53] <e__> yes
[10:53] <e__> its using the hostapd drivers
[10:53] <bobweaver> not sure how lib-unity uses notify-send caddoo
[10:54] <e__> but i think the card needs flashing
[10:55] <NictraSavios> caddoo, Yeah, again, I don't know how and I tried everything when I used unity. I switched and I'll never look back :D
[10:56] <bobweaver> caddoo,  unity 3d or 2d ?
[10:56] <caddoo> I'm not actually using ubuntu, im using elementary OS
[10:56] <caddoo> so no unity
[10:56] <e__> im trying to install aircrack, but theres loads of errors
[10:56] <NictraSavios> e__, Why do you want aircrack?
[10:57] <e__> to test my home network
[10:57] <MonkeyDust> is aircrack supported here?
[10:57] <caddoo> lol
[10:57] <bobweaver> caddoo,  oh out of my scope good luck
[10:57] <NictraSavios> e__ Nice cover.
[10:57] <e__> so any help?
[10:57] <NictraSavios> e__, I normally use backtrack for that stuff, I keep ubuntu clean
[10:57] <caddoo> e__: are you sudo installing?
[10:58] <caddoo> thats my only input
[10:58] <e__> backtrack?
[10:58] <MonkeyDust> !find aircrack
[10:58] <e__> whats that?
[10:58] <NictraSavios> !find aircrack-ng
[10:58] <bobweaver> !find gerix-wifi-cracker
[10:58] <NictraSavios> Nope, like I though. Not here.
[10:58] <NictraSavios> !find kinsmet
[10:58] <NictraSavios> !find kismet
[10:59] <e__> yes, im sudo installing
[10:59] <NictraSavios> :L
[10:59] <caddoo> e__: try here: #aircrack-ng
[10:59] <NictraSavios> e__, Yeah, its not in the ubuntu repos.
[10:59] <NictraSavios> For good reason...
[10:59] <e__> ok
[10:59] <65MAAWBMU> How can I unmount a read-only filesystem?
[10:59] <e__> how to i register?
[10:59] <NictraSavios> Keep pen-testing and ever-day use separate.
[10:59] <L3top> 65MAAWBMU: umount
[11:00] <65MAAWBMU> I do that, it's content, but df still lists it.
[11:00] <caddoo> e__: you need to be registered on this irc network
[11:00] <caddoo> type /msg nickserv register help
[11:00] <DJones> !register | e__
[11:00] <e__> yes, ive forgotten how to log on, im registered
[11:00] <caddoo> !identify | e__
[11:00] <L3top> 65MAAWBMU: try umount -lf... being read only makes no difference.
[11:00] <bobweaver> e__,  /join #freenode ask them they will help
[11:01] <bobweaver> if you lost password ect ^^ that is
[11:03] <L3top> 65MAAWBMU: I would also care what mount says, not df.
[11:04] <65MAAWBMU> mount says /dev/sda1 is mounted on /
[11:04] <65MAAWBMU> with (rw, errors=remount-ro)
[11:04] <65MAAWBMU> Even after I did umount.
[11:06] <ghost-x> 5
[11:11] <glebihan> 65MAAWBMU, you can't unmount the root filesystem
[11:11] <glebihan> 65MAAWBMU, more generally you can't unmount a filesystem that's in use, and the root filesystem always is
[11:11] <65MAAWBMU> Ubuntu can't mount it, either...
[11:12] <65MAAWBMU> How can I fix /etc/fstab back?
[11:12] <MonkeyDust> 65MAAWBMU  you cannot repair a car engine while driving
[11:12] <65MAAWBMU> Fair enough
[11:12] <virtx> is there a way to recompile *only* one module (ext2, in this case) using build directory in /lib/modules ?
[11:14] <glebihan> 65MAAWBMU, if there are things you have to do that needs that partition unmounted, you'll have to boot from a live CD. But what is it you're trying to do, what's the issue with fstab ?
[11:15] <65MAAWBMU> I edited fstab but didn't edit menu.lst as well, and now Ubuntu can't mount / during boot, it says, and that's that. I can't edit fstab back because it's read-only
[11:16] <glebihan> 65MAAWBMU, is the whole filesystem read-only or only the fstab file ?
[11:19] <65MAAWBMU> I think the whole filesystem, but I'm not sure how to tell.
[11:19] <65MAAWBMU> /proc/mounts says / is rw...
[11:20] <glebihan> 65MAAWBMU, you're editing fstab as root, right ?
[11:20] <65MAAWBMU> I'm in the root repair console thing, root@laptop
[11:22] <glebihan> 65MAAWBMU, hmm, if I remember correctly, at that stage the filesystem is indeed mounted read-only
[11:22] <glebihan> 65MAAWBMU, there is a way to remount the filesystem read-write (but I don't remember how). The simplest way might be to use a live CD
[11:23] <65MAAWBMU> Ok
[11:26] <vidirr_> Ugh.. I tried out Kazam (screen recorder), and now even after purging it it STILL has an orange "region box" around my screen.
[11:26] <vidirr_> Does anyone have any hints?
[11:27] <glebihan> vidirr_, isn't it simply still running ? did you logout and back in ?
[11:27] <vidirr_> glebihan: Shouldn't it stop running after purging?
[11:27] <L3top> 65MAAWBMU: mount -o remount,rw /
[11:27] <glebihan> vidirr_, no, uninstalling an application doesn't stop it if it's running
[11:29] <bonez2046> I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.xx and now several things are altered; I need to know how to get back the same keyboard mapping/configuration I had before
[11:30] <bonez2046> for example, I use irssi/bitlbee to chat here. i used to just use 'alt-1' or whatever # is appropriate to jump to various windows in irssi, but now I have to use alt-p instead
[11:31] <65MAAWBMU> L3top: fixed it with "mount --no-mtab -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 /" woo :)
[11:33] <MonkeyDust> bonez2046  try ctrl arrows to switch
[11:34] <bonez2046> MonkeyDust: ok, those work but I like the alt-number key combinations too
[11:34] <bonez2046> any way to get those back?
[11:36] <bonez2046> I have 12.04 LTS, and though I like that I have upgraded I like the older gnome configuration better. I hate these icons...would prefer having access with menus at the top, where I can access everything
[11:36] <nokia> hi. Can someone explain how to change Ubuntu Server to a static ip instead off the installed dhcp pls.
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> bonez2046  that's unity, gnome3, type !classic if you want something similar to gnome2
[11:37] <jpds> nokia: → #ubuntu-server
[11:37] <nokia> oops there's a server chat room ok
[11:38] <tucemiux> 12.04 is for netbooks as well?  Or is there a netbok specific distro like remix?
[11:38] <MonkeyDust> tucemiux  there isnt
[11:39] <tucemiux> MonkeyDust, so 12.04 should be good for a netbook then?
[11:39] <auronandace> tucemiux: sure
[11:39] <tucemiux> auronandace, thanks, im burning it to a cd right now.
[11:42] <BlouBlou> tucemiux: I have 12.04 in a netbook and works fine
[11:42] <BlouBlou> tucemiux: it has 1gb ram, 1.6ghz, and works perfectly, (64bits version)
[11:43] <Axsuul> Is there any way to see what a certain alias is pointing to? I'm trying to make an alias but it seems like it's already taken, but not sure what
[11:43] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[11:44] <Varikonniemi> hello, i have a question about ppa:s in ubuntu. What is needed for a ppa to have multiple versions available, not just the latest?
[11:45] <auronandace> Varikonniemi: i don't think you can do that
[11:45] <bonez2046> MonkeyDust: yes, it's unity that I am not appreciating
[11:45] <bonez2046> just '!classic' at a prompt?
[11:45] <auronandace> !classic | bonez2046
[11:45] <Varikonniemi> what is the use then of =version tag
[11:46] <Varikonniemi> just to switch between the two versions of different ppa:S?
[11:47] <MonkeyDust> bonez2046  yeah, it's new, i'm getting used to it as we speak, prefer classic, too
[11:47] <bonez2046> so, if I log out and back in I can select classic ubuntu at login?
[11:47] <pentagonpie> How safe is it, and what will be the implications of terminating the nautilus process?
[11:48] <auronandace> bonez2046: not in 11.10 and above
[11:48] <MonkeyDust> pentagonpie  your file manager will close
[11:48] <auronandace> !notunity | bonez2046
[11:48] <bonez2046> auronandace: how then can I switch windows managers?
[11:48] <L3top> Varikonniemi: You can specify the repo (ppa in this case) that you wish to install from. There can be different versions available... however any upgrade etc will take the highest version.
[11:49] <L3top> !ppa | also Varikonniemi, be aware that

[11:49] <MonkeyDust> pentagonpie  yes, you can use both
[11:50] <auronandace> bonez2046: gnome2 is no longer supported so you can't select it
[11:50] <auronandace> bonez2046: hence why the factoid i showed you suggests gnome-fallback as an alternative
[11:50] <pentagonpie> MonkeyDust, But if I want to save ram, can I terminate nautilus and use dolphin exclusively?
[11:50] <Varikonniemi> the problem is that a gem would need multiple engine support. But the package is always same name, so cannot it be chosen different versons with =version
[11:50] <bonez2046> thanks, auronandace
[11:50] <Varikonniemi> game*
[11:51] <auronandace> bonez2046: no worries :)
[11:51] <DjobiDjoba> greetings
[11:51] <L3top> Varikonniemi: I answered this. You can specify the REPO not just version, that it is drawn from.
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> pentagonpie  best way to find out, is by trying, it's just closing and opening windows
