[00:00] <harushimo> thank you
[00:00] <RealEyes> thanks
[00:00] <Jordan_U> Alec: I assume that it's a USB keyboard?
[00:00] <Alec> yes
[00:00] <lekremyelsew> fpz^2, I have to go, but thanks anyways
[00:00] <spuddogg> hello all
[00:00] <Alec> I have a p/s2 adapter (or however it's stylized) and it doesn't seem to work :S
[00:00] <decio_crytek> bryguy_: I tried every single terminal and GUI way to install it. Never works. I'm not going to install another Linux derivant simply because they don't have Wubi and I need windows to Jailbreak, Restore and put music onto my iPod Touch 4G and iPad 3
[00:01] <Jordan_U> Alec: I should have thought about that, if the kernel has problems accessing USB drives then the same problem will probably affect all USB devices :(
[00:01] <Alec> :S
[00:01] <Jordan_U> Alec: Do you happen to have a PS2 keyboard somewhere?
[00:01] <Alec> Nope :/
[00:01] <fpz^2> decio_crytek, run windows in a vm?
[00:01] <osmosis> how do I get rid of the sticky windows stickey mouse behavior? the edge of the screen always grabs my cursor when I am trying to go between screens, and when I am trying to drag windows across too.
[00:01] <Alec> I wish this adapter were working
[00:02] <bryguy_> decio_crytek, you dont need wubi to dual boot windows with a linux os
[00:02] <bryguy_> decio_crytek, i agree with fpz^2
[00:02] <decio_crytek> fpz^2, It can't Jailbreak in a Virtual Machine. And many of my Jailbreaks are tether. It would be a pain just to boot up my device
[00:02] <bryguy_> decio_crytek, you can try virtualbox to run windows
[00:03] <fpz^2> decio_crytek, virtualbox can hand over usb borts to the guest os.
[00:03] <fpz^2> *ports
[00:03] <bryguy_> i have been using ubuntu and it's variants on and off for over 5 years
[00:03] <fpz^2> that said, I never liked dealing with my iPod with ubuntu
[00:03] <decio_crytek> On a tether Jailbreak everytime you shut down you're device you'll have to go to your computer, run a program called RedSnow just to boot it up. Imagavine if I had to turn on a VM and do all that. It would take years!
[00:03] <harushimo> is there a restart option? I don't see it under my user name
[00:04] <fpz^2> decio_crytek, not really. you could use something like vagrant and automate it: http://vagrantup.com/
[00:04] <Jordan_U> Alec: What was the last version of Ubuntu that worked on this machine?
[00:04] <bryguy_> decio_crytek, are you a jailbreak dev or something? dont you just need to jailbreal the phone once and be doen with that part?
[00:04] <Alec> it was 11.04 I believe
[00:04] <decio_crytek> harushimo, click on the top right corner, than shut down. Than, it will say restart
[00:04] <Alec> I don't know how I got it to work though :/
[00:05] <harushimo> oh ok
[00:05] <bryguy_> harushimo, hit alt+f4 then type in user name, password, then sudo reboot
[00:05] <remlabm> hey all, i think my wirelesscard drivers are causing kernel panics, any idea how to solve?
[00:05] <harushimo> this is a little different from 10.04. It had a restart option
[00:05] <harushimo> thanks
[00:05] <decio_crytek> bryguy_, kindaa, I Jailbreak and write reviews of Cydia tweaks to earn some "pocket-money"
[00:06] <bryguy_> or just open up a terminal and type in the same thing
[00:06] <harushimo> i know you can do that way
[00:06] <bryguy_> sudo reboot
[00:06] <bttf> ok high level problem here
[00:06] <bryguy_> i dont know what Cydia is, i dotn iphone, i hack androids
[00:06] <bryguy_> *dont
[00:06] <bttf> my computer doesnt have a monitor
[00:06] <fpz^2> bryguy_, sudo shutdown -r now ;)
[00:06] <Jordan_U> Alec: As a stab in the dark, maybe the kernel modules needed for your controller are included by default, but not in the installer's initramfs. If that were the case, then you would be able to boot from an Ubuntu install on your internal drive and then load the USB modules from there (they would probably be loaded automatically).
[00:06] <bryguy_> nice fpz^2
[00:06] <bryguy_> didnt know that one
[00:07] <bttf> i want to put in a cd, and then find the computer by DHCP and SSH to complete the install
[00:07] <harushimo> me either
[00:07] <bttf> possible (y/n)
[00:07] <fpz^2> bryguy_, you can replace now with a number of seconds
[00:07] <tyler_d> bryguy_:  init 6
[00:07] <fpz^2> tyler_, :)
[00:07] <bttf> i've looked at unattended installs and some ssh installs which require PXE server, but i was wondering if there was something simpler than that
[00:07] <decio_crytek> bryguy_, let's just say that Jailbreaking is lot harder and hacking it is a chalenge
[00:07] <Alec> jordan
[00:07] <Alec> the converter gives power
[00:07] <bttf> i think i just need to edit some config files in the installation ill be good
[00:07] <Alec> but
[00:07] <bryguy_> so someone here says i can install another linux with virtualbox into an actual hdd partition and not just into the virtual partition that viirtual box creates for it
[00:07] <Alec> it won't let me type or anything
[00:07] <Alec> (tested with other backlit keyboard)
[00:08] <Jordan_U> Alec: Converter?
[00:08] <Alec> yes
[00:08] <Alec> a usb to ps2 converter
[00:08] <bryguy_> nice fpz^2 i am still a terminal noob for the most part
[00:08] <tyler__> fpz^2_: yes?
[00:08] <Jordan_U> Alec: So you don't have any PS2 ports on your computer?
[00:08] <bryguy_> most my experience lies in copy/paste from google searches and trial and error over the past years
[00:08] <Alec> i do
[00:08] <Alec> ut
[00:08] <Alec> but*
[00:08] <fpz^2> bryguy_, I'm not sure. I tried once, failed. I also tried export a vbox image onto a harddrive and partition and failed
[00:08] <Alec> when I used the converter it only seems to provide poewr
[00:08] <bryguy_> i want to try mint debian xfce
[00:08] <Alec> it won't let me actually use hte keyboard
[00:09] <FloodBot1> Alec: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:09] <harushimo> i'm in the configuration settings for nvidia. I want to do big desktop. I mean to extend my desktop to the other monitor
[00:09] <bryguy_> thanks fpz^2
[00:09] <Alec> sorry
[00:09] <harushimo> how would I do that
[00:09] <fpz^2> vmware exports are apparently easier
[00:09] <Jordan_U> Alec: Do you have PS2 ports on your computer itself (i.e. not through a USB to PS2 converter)?
[00:09] <bryguy_> i cant find any blank dvds around fpz^2 so i need ot find an alternate way of installing it
[00:09] <Alec> yes
[00:09] <Alec> I mean i
[00:09] <bryguy_> the iso is 1.1 gb
[00:09] <decio_crytek> I'm out. I'll try to find some drivers that work on the Jailbreaking community. Yes, many of them do use Ubuntu as their main OS
[00:09] <bryguy_> and i only have cdr
[00:10] <bryguy_> good luck decio_crytek
[00:10] <Alec> Accidentally hit enter, yes I do have one, but I'm using a usb to ps2 converter (plug in the usb to it then plug that itno the ps2 slot) and it only seems to provide power, not the ability to actually use my keboard to type
[00:10] <Jordan_U> bryguy_: This channel only supports Ubuntu. Please take offtopic discussion elsewhere.
[00:10] <decio_crytek> Thanks
[00:10] <bryguy_> Jordan_U, i am trying to stay on topic
[00:10] <bryguy_> and i cant find anywhere else for people to help me
[00:11] <harushimo> i figured it out
[00:11] <SolarNRG> Excuse me, if you'll forgive me for being a little off topic, can someone who knows a little bit about molding with platinum cure please PM me or send me to a room where people might know
[00:11] <SolarNRG> Thank you
[00:11] <bryguy_> i am on precise, and my problem lies with tryign to get this doen from within precise
[00:11] <fpz^2> anyway. going for askubuntu now
[00:11] <fpz^2> adios
[00:11] <Jordan_U> !ot | SolarNRG
[00:11] <bryguy_> so i feel pretty well on topic
[00:11] <Jordan_U> bryguy_: The fact that you can't find anywhere else does *not* mean that you can ask offtopic questions here.
[00:12] <bryguy_> what part of my question defines "off-topic"?
[00:12] <tyler_d> didn't see the question bryguy_
[00:12] <Jordan_U> bryguy_: Your discussion of mint is off topic, even if it's not in the form of a question.
[00:13] <bryguy_> my discussion has very little to do with mint and very much so to do with how to install another OS to dual boot from within ubuntu
[00:13] <Jordan_U> Alec: If you have PS2 Ports on your computer, why are you not using them?
[00:14] <Alec> I am using them.  I plugged a keyboard into it via an adapter but it doesn't work for some reaosn.  It only seems to provide power to the keyboard (i.e backlight lights up, can't type though)
[00:14] <bryguy_> you probably need drivers Alec
[00:15] <Alec> for ps2 porrts?
[00:15] <wylde> Alec: you can't just plug in a ps2 keyboard when the computer is on. You shutdown, plug in and restart.
[00:15] <Jordan_U> Alec: I don't think you read my question carefully enough. This is the last time I'll ask. Does your computer itself, the box, have PS2 ports? (I'm *not* asking about USB to PS2 adaptors)
[00:15] <Alec> Yes, the pc has them.  my keyboard is usb so I'm using a converter to actually be able to use the ps2 ports on my computer.  And that is what i've been doing wylde.
[00:16] <Jordan_U> Alec: Ahh, I misunderstood then, Sorry about that.
[00:16] <wylde> Alec: alrighty, then. Just making sure. :)
[00:16] <Sidewinder> bryguy_, This site 'may' contain the info. that you're looking for; just stay away from anything "wubi": http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index
[00:17] <bryguy_> anyone know how to setup a dualboot with 1204 from wihtin an already operational 1204 box
[00:17] <bryguy_> ty Sidewinder
[00:17] <Sidewinder> bryguy_, My pleasure; I hope it helps. :)
[00:17] <Logan_> Why doesn't apport open Launchpad bug reports anymore?
[00:17] <Jordan_U> Alec: I've never seen an adaptor before that allows the use of a USB keyboard with a PS2 port. Does the keyboard work in the BIOS menus?
[00:18] <Alec> it used to work, I guess it's broken now
[00:18] <wylde> bryguy_: you can't. You have to have an alternate method of booting. Either a disk (CD/DVD) a usb thumb/pendrive/external hd or another computer on your netwrok that you can configure as a PXE boot server.
[00:20] <ms-daisy> hello. Has anyone used rsync over ssh to copy a .vdi file? Mine seems to be hanging after about a half-hour. Has it crapped out or is there still hope?
[00:20] <Alec> any other ideas?
[00:21] <harushimo> i'm just trying to mess around with cloud computing setup in ubuntu with open stack. do I need to install ubuntu server?
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> Logan_: could use the ubuntu-bug command
[00:21] <harushimo> can I use it on the desktop version?
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> Alec: do you use a USB hub by any chance?
[00:21] <Alec> nope
[00:21] <Alec> all plugged directly in.
[00:21] <Alec> I was using a cable extension for a bit
[00:22] <Alec> plugged directly in after that, same problem
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> Alec: have you set the USB ports to legacy mode in BIOS?
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> hemanth: you will want ubuntu cloud server
[00:22] <Alec> I'll check if I've done that already.  Where is that typically found in the bios?
[00:22] <harushimo> my goal is eventually use server. I just want to use MAAS and get a basic cloud setup
[00:23] <Jordan_U> Alec: I thought you just said that you can't use the keyboard in the BIOS either. Is that true? If so, how are you going to check/change any BIOS settings?
[00:23] <wylde> harushimo: you may get mnore specific help for that in #ubuntu-server
[00:23] <wylde> more*
[00:23] <Alec> Nono, I can use it in bios.
[00:23] <Alec> Just not with the ps2 adapter
[00:24] <Jordan_U> Alec: Ahh, understood.
[00:24] <harushimo> I'm on the website
[00:24] <harushimo> it is using ubuntu server not the desktop version
[00:24] <harushimo> ok I'll do that
[00:24] <Alec> sorry if i'm confusing you
[00:24] <wylde> I've only ever seen those for mice. Not seen one for keyboards.
[00:24] <Jordan_U> Alec: Can you take the drive out of the computer, put it in another machine, install Ubuntu to the hard drive, then put it back?
[00:24] <Alec> Nope.
[00:25] <Jordan_U> Alec: What is currently installed on the internal drive?
[00:25] <Alec> Windows 7
[00:25] <Alec> oh wow
[00:25] <Alec> wait
[00:25] <Alec> "installer OS Select"
[00:25] <Alec> put to others?
[00:25] <Alec> it's at windows atm.
[00:25] <FloodBot1> Alec: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:26] <harushimo> i'll be honest with you. this has a mac feeling which is cool
[00:26] <harushimo> great job on the OS
[00:26] <Alec> I have a bad habit of flooding, I should really kill the urge to hit enter.
[00:26] <harushimo> I like how ubuntu is improving the quality and getting into everything
[00:26] <Jordan_U> Alec: Can you try a Wubi install as a test? I don't recommend using Wubi but it would test the possibility that the needed modules exist but simply aren't in the default initrd.
[00:26] <Alec> sure
[00:27] <wylde> Alec: glue a tac strip to it :) You'll learn fast to look at it before hitting it :)
[00:27] <Alec> want me to try the legacy usb thing ifirst?
[00:27] <Jordan_U> Alec: It can't hurt, but I don't expect it to make any difference.
[00:27] <Alec> legacy usb support is apparently already enabled :/
[00:29] <Alec> Guys
[00:29] <Alec> I FIXED IT!
[00:29] <Jordan_U> Alec: If you have any questions/updates please use my nick as I won't be watching the channel.
[00:29] <Jordan_U> Alec: How?
[00:29] <Alec> You know that installer os select thing I said earlier?
[00:29] <Alec> I changed it to others and BAM, it started!
[00:30] <Tm0> Hey my sources.list file is riddled with errors, but it looks good to me, if I post it could someone tell me where my errors lie?
[00:30] <Jordan_U> Alec: Ubuntu is now booting with ability to access USB devices?
[00:31] <Alec> yes xD
[00:31] <Alec> and
[00:31] <Alec> no initramfs (waits a bit so i'm not flooding.. accidentally hit enter:()
[00:32] <Jordan_U> Alec: Very odd, I've never heard of this type of thing before. I'm glad you got things working though :)
[00:32] <CrazyGangster> hello ppl, my XFS partition is almost full and i need to grow the partition without lose my data
[00:32] <CrazyGangster> There is a way to change the partition beginning point without move all data to the first blocks (like gparted do)?
[00:32] <CrazyGangster> http://i46.tinypic.com/2i9nvwm.png
[00:32] <Alec> thanks a lot Jordan and friends ;3 (I don't know why and friends, but you know, it seems the best way to put it as it's hard to list all the other names) I'll stay in here incase other problems arise.
[00:32] <Jordan_U> Alec: You're welcome.
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> CrazyGangster: take a full backup, then you have no worries about losing data
[00:34] <Logan_> ActionParsnip: Yeah, ubuntu-bug works, but I'm wondering why crash reporting is going to whoopsie by default, without the option of sending the bug to Launchpad.
[00:34] <Tm0> Hey my sources.list file is riddled with errors, but it looks good to me, if I post it could someone tell me where my errors lie?
[00:34] <andersongraciane> ola
[00:34] <Brustofski-Fan> Gdebi is being stupid !! It's telling me my password is wrong!!
[00:34] <andersongraciane> hello
[00:35] <CrazyGangster> i already done that...
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> CrazyGangster: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc   please
[00:35] <andersongraciane> ola
[00:35] <bryguy_> wylde, how do i use another laptop on my netwpork running windows 7 to be a boot server
[00:35] <bryguy_> ?
[00:35] <Alec> Hehe, so glad to finally get rid of my terrible Windows 7 install.  I mean, I like it, it's just so slow compared to Ubuntu.
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> Tm0: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  sudo apt-get update
[00:36] <CrazyGangster> ActionParsnip: lisa
[00:36] <krababbel> bryguy_: you need to setup a tftp server
[00:36] <osmosis> how do I get rid of the sticky windows stickey mouse behavior? the edge of the screen always grabs my cursor when I am trying to go between screens, and when I am trying to drag windows across too.
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> CrazyGangster: not supported here dude
[00:36] <wylde> bryguy_: good question. I've only ever used a 8nix machine for that. You caould ask in #windows if it's possible.
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> CrazyGangster: mint has it's own support
[00:36] <wylde> *nix
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> !mint | CrazyGangster
[00:37] <CrazyGangster> ok i will reboot and start my ubuntu ok?
[00:39] <Tm0> ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/986410/ is the errors (start from line 21)
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | Tm0
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> Tm0: that command will be a good start
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> Tm0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/986412/    will then help some
[00:41] <pp7> how are video file thumbnails generated in ubuntu? sometimes they are generated, sometimes they are not for me
[00:41] <Brustofski-Fan> Anyone have a clue on this.. Trying to install virtualbox from the vbox web site package.. And Gdebi is telling me my password is not right..
[00:42] <Tm0> ActionParsnip The first one didn't fix any, attempting the others now
[00:42] <bryguy_> im just going to use an ipod as a mass storage usb device, copy the iso file onto that, and try and reboot into the os' installation
[00:42] <wylde> Brustofski-Fan: can you use sudo without it complaining about your password?
[00:42] <Tm0> ActionParsnip Am I supposed to make that into a shell file?
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> Brustofski-Fan: did you add the virtualbox ppa?
[00:42] <krababbel> Brustofski-Fan: do you really have a reason not to use the version officially supported?
[00:43] <zykotic10> Tm0: your missing the key for your Mate repo.  Duplicate sources are just warnings (you have the same thing more then once in sources.list or sources.list.d)
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> Tm0: you can make a script (which is what you probably meant), or you can just copy and paste them one by one
[00:43] <Brustofski-Fan> krababbel, yes.. never works for me
[00:43] <krababbel> so no
[00:44] <Brustofski-Fan> ActionParsnip, no.. i downloaded the deb package from the vbox site
[00:44] <zykotic10> Tm0: also, ubuntu has been designed around using sudo... just sayin'

[00:45] <ActionParsnip> Brustofski-Fan: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc    please
[00:46] <wylde> I still say pastebinit should be included in ubuntu proper as a support tool ......
[00:46] <Brustofski-Fan> ActionParsnip, as root or user
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Brustofski-Fan: either
[00:46] <Brustofski-Fan> precise

[01:00] <carl0s-> Can I just say: this window management is rubbish. I have disappearing applications. i.e. they do not show up in the alt-tab switcher, or on the unity dock/bar thing. It's hopeless. The latest offender is GIMP. I also have issues with Remmina not going full screen when told to.

[01:08] <mrtc> so I made a change a long time ago in 11.10 to have a python web server start on boot, but I forget how I did it. Is there a way to see how a process was started?
[01:09] <mosno> is it a bad idea to have a separate / and /home?
[01:10] <Guest14122> ie. with upcoming changes... specifically filesystem snapshotting, etc.
[01:10] <L3top> Guest14122: No... it is a very good idea
[01:10] <Guest14122> L3top, i thought so.
[01:10] <Guest14122> L3top, thanks
[01:11] <Areckx> Succesful reinstall of 10.04 LTS and couldn't be happier!
[01:11] <Jordan_U> Guest14122: If you're only going to be using Ubuntu then I disagree, I don't see any point in having a separate /home and it means that you'll have to repartition if you decide that you didn't get the balance in size between / and /home right.
[01:12] <endra> If I open terminal, and hit ctrl-w, it makes my monitors blink black. That effect is really annoying and I want to disable it completely for all apps. It occurs if I try to delete nothing, hit down arrow, hit right arrow at the right-most character, etc.
[01:13] <Areckx> Jordan_U,  Maybe they want to keep their /home directory safe in case of data corruption in the main partition??
[01:13] <nownot> what is the best way to make a blu ray iso already having the bdmv folder?
[01:13] <nownot> believe its udf2.5?
[01:15] <Jordan_U> Areckx: It's rare to get data corruption which is not caused by hardware problems, in which case separate partitions won't matter. And you could extend that logic to make every type of data you have be stored on separate partitions, but the small advantage is not worth the hassle of resizing partitions (a somewhat dangerous operation) when you find that you need more room on one of them. And that's what backups are for anyway.
[01:16] <ceed^> In earlier versions of Ubuntu there was a graphical application for controlling running services. I can't find it in 12.04. Can someone tell me where it is, or if I need to install it?
[01:16] <zykotic10> ceed^: it doesn't exist anymore.  ubuntu users aren't expected to be running services i guess.
[01:17] <ceed^> zykotic10: I can't get it from somewhere and install it either?
[01:18] <zykotic10> ceed^: upstart is the issues - the old tools don't apply.
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> ceed^: could use top
[01:19] <zykotic10> ActionParsnip: how does top help with startup services?
[01:20] <arejay> what vps software do you guys recommend for ubuntu 12.04?
[01:20] <Indian> hello
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> zykotic10: "for controlling running services"
[01:22] <Indian> Any suggestions on enabling some shortcuts to see all open windows
[01:22] <CrazyGangster> my XFS partition is almost full and i need to grow the partition without lose my data
[01:22] <CrazyGangster> There is a way to change the partition beginning point without move all data to the first blocks (like gparted do)?
[01:23] <CrazyGangster> im in ubuntu now...
[01:23] <L3top> Jordan_U: I have come to the conclusion that you are certainly more clever than I with regards to all of this, but the reason for my suggestion that it was a good thing, was that regardless of what you do to the root file system your personal data will be untouched. I have lurked in this channel a while before offering advice and this was often the conventional wisdom.
[01:24] <L3top> At least when I was paying attention.
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> Indian: use the scale plugin in compiz if you use compiz
[01:24] <Jordan_U> L3top: What would you do to the root filesystem that would affect your data without a separate partition, but wouldn't also affect it with?
[01:25] <Indian> any one using hotot
[01:25] <zykotic10> L3top: i'm with Jordan_U - a separate home has minimal benefit with some real drawbacks (but, i consider that a personal opinion - even if it's shared)
[01:26] <zykotic10> L3top: that said, i do currently have a separate home, with / on an ssd ;)  so i should just shut my mouth/fingers.
[01:27] <L3top> !warning 2 weeks in, as root, attempting to delete the contents of a current directory I did rm -R /* attempting to rm -R ./* because I was very green, clearly, and /home being somewhere else would have saved that. I am not suggesting that my advice was correct btw, I am simply asking why it is incorrect.
[01:27] <L3top> !danger
[01:29]  * KM0201 has never had a separate /home in 7yrs
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> zykotic10: makes reinstalls easier and backups too
[01:30] <L3top> I still don't. It was just suggestion that I heard in this room, and applied to my own ignorance and felt had merrit. I am simply asking why it is NOT good advice, not arguing that it is.
[01:31] <Indian> I cannot see any notifications for hotot
[01:31] <zykotic10> ActionParsnip: i agree with reinstalling the same version, but after any ubuntu-version upgrades - it can lead to issues.  backup of /home i see no difference if it's on the same partition or not YMMV ;)
[01:32] <wylde> I run a separate /home too. I do keep regular backups, but if I don't have to restore from backups that = time saved recovering.
[01:33] <invinciblemutant> my gnome-shell corrupts sudden by itself
[01:33] <invinciblemutant> running gnome-shell in terminal (pressing Ctrl-T) to call out, runs into segmentation fault
[01:34] <invinciblemutant> how to rescue gnome-shell running into segmentation fault
[01:34] <wylde> invinciblemutant: I'd suggest you test your RAM, and fsck your hard disk to start.
[01:35] <invinciblemutant> now, i dont see title bar, no top panel
[01:35] <invinciblemutant> i am using the same machine on irc
[01:35] <invinciblemutant> gnome-shell does not start
[01:36] <L3top> zykotic10: wouldn't that require constant backups? Going two weeks without a backup, depending on what you do, could be dangerous... wheras if your home dir is always independant, it stands to reason that you are spending a lot more time backing up, dealing with backing up.
[01:36] <rypervenche> L3top: I run backups everyday.
[01:37] <L3top> I am not trying to be off topic, and am in off topic if someone would like to explain it to me.
[01:37] <zykotic10> L3top: how does a separate home affect backup scheduling?
[01:37] <rypervenche> Doesn't. I use LVM.
[01:38] <L3top> It makes such irrelevant, if your would be backup location is the location of home
[01:38] <rypervenche> To offtopic then?
[01:38] <L3top> yes
[01:38] <invinciblemutant> anyway to debug what is the cause of gnome-shell fault
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> zykotic10: its good for SSD too, keep /home off the SSD where speed isn't hugely required :)
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> zykotic10: /home on platter based drive
[01:40] <zykotic10> ActionParsnip: that's is my current "use case" for a separate home ;)
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> zykotic10: yeah it rocks
[01:40] <zykotic10> ActionParsnip: SSDs - highly agree
[01:40] <remlabm> ActionParsnip: welcome back, im still having that issue with kernel panic

[01:46] <KM0201> netmind: lol, its not bad... :)
[01:47] <netnomad> I had bad luck with the last stable.
[01:47] <netnomad> Hoping this works better.
[01:47] <KM0201> netmind: better than what?
[01:47] <KM0201> netnomad: better than what?
[01:47] <netnomad> Better than the last stable that wouldn't boot.  :)
[01:47] <KM0201> lol
[01:47] <KM0201> why wouldn't it boot?
[01:48] <netnomad> Hell if I know.  I'm fairly new to the Linux community.
[01:48] <netnomad> I'm in the experimentation and learning phase.  lol
[01:48] <KM0201> ah, well, if you have another PC other than the one you're installing on, and it won't boot, come here on that computer, and we can try things on the machine you're trying to install on to figure out why it won't boot
[01:48] <netnomad> I am on the other one at this time.  :)
[01:48] <KM0201> ah, so thats one problem down
[01:49] <netnomad> Nope.  We just got to the "ok, eject the CD" stage.
[01:50] <zykotic10> netnomad: no such thing as "ubuntu stable" just sayin'
[01:50] <Indian> so anyone please tell if I can add icons on top right corner
[01:50] <KM0201> Indian: not that i know of.
[01:50] <netnomad> Purple screen.  This is encouraging.
[01:51] <Indian> KM0201, How does dropbox and some other apps add them
[01:51] <KM0201> cuz they are written to have icons in notification area.
[01:51] <ceed^> Annoying: The caption for the home button in Unity covers the search field unless you move the cursor off the button. I wish the caption would auto close after a second or so.
[01:52] <netnomad> No boot.  The screen changed to the Ubuntu purple, but no title appeared and the drive has stopped accessing.
[01:52] <y0om4> hi
[01:52] <subhadip> hey

[01:53] <KM0201> netnomad: ok, do that first.
[01:53] <netnomad> Roger.
[01:53] <KM0201> you can also "no splash"  and it will remove the ubuntu graphic, and possibly show the problem (i'm predicting since its a laptop, a broadcom problem)
[01:54] <y0om4> can someone please telnet to pool-96-247-126-46.lsanca.fios.verizon.net  port 113 to see if my identd is connectable?
[01:54] <KM0201> y0om4: i'm not sure i'd put information like that in a channel w/ 1527 strangers

[01:58] <Icehawk> I'm in a bit of an odd situation. I've got a wireless card that is connected to my wireless network, but is unable to connect to the router (ie at http://<IP_ADDRESS>) and thus can't load any websites or whatnot. However, it's been assigned an IP via DHCP and on my router I can see that it's connected.
[01:58] <rypervenche> Icehawk: What is its IP address?
[01:59] <Icehawk> rypervenche: <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:59] <rypervenche> Icehawk: Are you sure that <IP_ADDRESS> is the gateway's address?
[01:59] <Icehawk> And yes, I verified that all of the DHCP'd settings match my other laptop (also running Ubuntu, and also connected to the same network)
[02:00] <mykrobinson> Having issues with my desktop. Got no sound in 12.04, but it worked in 11.10. Its Realtek ALC662 rev 1

[02:02] <rypervenche> ActionParsnip: Eww, Google :(
[02:02] <krababbel> Icehawk: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:02] <Icehawk> krababbel: Nope, "Destination Host Unreachable"
[02:03] <krababbel> that's bad, dns isn't your problem
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> rypervenche: its easy to remember and will get the OS upgraded, may fix the bug
[02:04] <rypervenche> ....ewww Google.
[02:05] <Icehawk> ActionParsnip / rypervenche: Also using Google DNS didn't fix it.
[02:05] <Blackshirt> Icehawk, are you sure your lan cable connected correctly
[02:05] <Icehawk> Blackshirt: Wifi
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> Icehawk: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[02:05] <Icehawk> ActionParsnip: Apparently... no.
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> Icehawk: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[02:06] <Icehawk> ActionParsnip: No.
[02:06] <alphanoop> Icehawk: does ifconfing wlan0  show an IP?
[02:06] <Icehawk> But somehow DHCP still assigned me a valid IP
[02:06] <Random832> can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> Icehawk: does the interface have an IP address?
[02:06] <Icehawk> ActionParsnip: Yes. <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:07] <Areckx> How can I edit GRUB to allow a dual boot of debian?
[02:07] <netnomad> KM0201, Interesting.  I did a recovery mode boot, and we made it to the login screen.
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> Icehawk: if you run: sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>       does it then work?
[02:08] <Icehawk> Random832: No. (Had to do ping -b <IP_ADDRESS>, and that had 100% packet loss)
[02:08] <L3top> Areckx: I would expect grub-install; update-grub would just do what you want with both OSes installed, but am not positive.
[02:09] <subhadip> What is the People Nearby account in my Empathy? How to use it?
[02:09] <Icehawk> ActionParsnip: Did that, still getting Destination Host Unreachable on any IP (<IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>/etc) that I try, as well as no web pages loading
[02:09] <Random832> subhadip: have other people that use bonjour instant messaging
[02:09] <Random832> bonjour is apple's name for it, generic is zeroconf i think
[02:09] <Random832> it's an ichat thing originally

[02:13] <renode> irc?
[02:13] <dme9> PIDGIN
[02:13] <renode> XCHAT
[02:13] <Icehawk> krababbel: Shows an lo, eth1 and wlan1 devices. wlan1 has an ip of <IP_ADDRESS> set
[02:13] <rypervenche> princethakur: Pidgin for most chatting protocols.
[02:14] <princethakur> rypervenche: like yahoo messenger ? any software having rooms etc
[02:14] <krababbel> Icehawk: can you try eth0?
[02:15] <Icehawk> krababbel: I assume you mean eth1, since I don't have an eth0 interface. And I've used ethernet before successfully. Just not wifi.
[02:15] <krababbel> Icehawk: can you try a static config instead of dhcp?
[02:16] <krababbel> I guess you should check the hardware of gateway config
[02:16] <Icehawk> krababbel: I initially tried to do a static IP, and was never able to actually connect to the network with that, for some reason.

[02:30] <Icehawk> nrdb: You mean the IP it was assigned via DHCP? (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[02:30] <ActionParsnip> nrdb: <IP_ADDRESS> is google's public dns service

[02:35] <ActionParsnip> xxeennaa: #backtrack-linux is where your distro is supported
[02:35] <Icehawk> nrdb: I've tried both Network Manager and /etc/network/interfaces; Network Manager was the only one which was at least able to connect to the network.
[02:35] <ms-daisy> zykotic10: copying files to a second hard drive will destroy ownership/permissions?  What do you recommend then?
[02:36] <xxeennaa> ActionParsnip: rreeaallllyy??!!
[02:36] <zykotic10> ms-daisy: it's the fact you're copying to FAT that is responisble for that
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> xxeennaa: as I said earlier...yes, really
[02:36] <Gnea> xxeennaa: enough.
[02:36] <Icehawk> ActionParsnip: The driver my card says it's using is 'rtl8192cu'; Nothing further about the chipset was shown.
[02:36] <xxeennaa> Gnea: no.

[02:37] <zykotic10> ms-daisy: i'd recommend you use gnu/linux native filesystems, rather then MS crap
[02:37] <nrdb> Icehawk, I presume that you that the ipv4 settings is set to DHCP?
[02:37] <Icehawk> nrdb: Yep. I tried setting a static IP and it was unable to connect afterwards.
[02:37] <Ethek> Hello
[02:37] <ms-daisy> zykotic10: I had hoped to use the drive to store data from both windows and ubuntu files. Is there an option that would make that possible?
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> Icehawk: if you run:  dmesg | grep -i firm     do you get any output?
[02:38] <zykotic10> ms-daisy: FAT's probably your best bet then.  (ps i'm adding you to my /ignore list)

[02:39] <william0> Cannot join #chrome (Requires keyword)

[02:39] <Gnea> william0: try ##chrome
[02:40] <y0om4> when using port forwarding or triggering, I set source port any to 6667, and destination port any to 113 ... How come I set it to any instead of 6667 to 6667 and 113 to 113? How come it will not work if i do the latter?

[02:44] <ms-daisy> Wow zykotic10 I would say thanks except you're ignoring me. That was unbelievably rude :s
[02:44] <Icehawk> 4 lines starting with 'Chain'
[02:45] <nrdb> Icehawk, doesn't appear any firewall is setup then.
[02:45] <Icehawk> nrdb: Not as far as I'm able to read this, at least.
[02:45] <nrdb> Icehawk, can you post the output of "ifconfig" and "route -n"
[02:46] <sacarlson> I'm getting Segmentation fault from freeradius when I do a radtest  on ubuntu 10.04 with both freeradius 2.1.12 from ppa and the stable release 2.1.8,  do I have to compile to get a stable version of freeradius to work?
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> truongap: press CTRL+ALT+F1  and run:  passwd ubuntu     set the password then press CTRL+ALT+F7 and log in with the credentials
[02:46] <nrdb> Icehawk, I mead paste
[02:46] <y0om4> when using port triggering, I set source port any to 6667, and destination port any to 113 ... How come I set it to any instead of 6667 to 6667 and 113 to 113? How come it will not work if i do the latter?
[02:46] <Icehawk> nrdb: I'll have to recreate it by hand, but sure, give me a few minutes.
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> nrdb: possibly, it's gonna get messy and hard to investigate
[02:47] <Icehawk> nrdb: Is just the wlan1 interface enough, or do you need all 3? (lo, eth1 and wlan1)?
[02:47] <Gyro54> Hi!
[02:47] <sacarlson> I originaly thought that my freeradius problem was the ipv6 problem but I also tried with a ipv4 <IP_ADDRESS> with it still segment faulting out
[02:47] <nrdb> Icehawk, you can use "<shift> <ctrl> C" to cut from a terminal
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> Icehawk: if you get a wired connection and install wicd, does it help?
[02:47] <Icehawk> nrdb: That's not the issue - the computer I'm pasting from isn't online ;)
[02:48] <none>  on a new install of ubuntu 12.04... i am getting out of range and unable to use my computer
[02:48] <none> this is pretty much worst case senario ever for me
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> none: what GPU do you use?
[02:48] <invincib1emutant> running gnome-shell in other account works, just mine isnt, how can i reset everything
[02:48] <wordToDaBird> I recently upgraded ubuntu to the most recent upgrade, in the process something got borked.  when i started ubuntu back up grub didn't actually load ubuntu after doing googling I came acoss update-initramfs which works.  I can start ubuntu now, but the keyboard doesn't work.  Been googling about this, but not sure what to look for can someone point me in the right direction please.
[02:48] <none> i use 7600gs
[02:48] <none> with dvi to agp converter
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> none: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> none: you can't get a dvi to agp converter
[02:48] <Icehawk> ActionParsnip: Haven't tried that, yet. It's a desktop, so that'll also take a few minutes ;)
[02:49] <none> what boot option? my montor shows nothing but blank
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> none: hold shift at boot
[02:49] <wordToDaBird> I noticed an error message about udev before the boot screen started.
[02:49] <none> ok...... be right back
[02:49] <wordToDaBird> but that's all the info i have
[02:50] <krababbel_> y0om4: what will not work?
[02:51] <none> holding shift did nothing
[02:52] <sacarlson> wordToDaBird: if your keyboard is a usb you might try enable legacy in bios,  that helped me in the grub part, but my keyboard always worked after booting into X mode
[02:52] <nrdb> invincib1emutant, you can reset everything by moving you current 'home' somewhere else and recopy /etc/skel for a new 'home' directory.
[02:53] <wordToDaBird> sacarlson, it's my laptops keyboard, I haven't tried using a usb but I am using a thumb drive right now so I can access the p.c. so I don't think it's a bios thing.
[02:53] <wordToDaBird> built in keyboard*
[02:53] <none> ...........i cannot use my computer since installing 12.04 because as soon as "grub loading" my monitor goes into "OUT OF RANGE" and goes black
[02:54] <Icehawk> nrdb: http://pastie.org/3908025
[02:54] <Icehawk> nrdb: Also, as I was copying that down, my adapter randomly disconnected from the network and won't reconnect now.
[02:55] <sacarlson> none: try adding nomodeset on kernel boot line in grub see if that helps
[02:55] <Icehawk> So since I have to restart anyways, I'll move to the room with ethernet and try installing the software ActionParsnip recommended and see how that affects it.
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> none: hold shift at boot and you will get a text display
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> none: failing that you can chroot using liveCD and do it there
[02:56] <nrdb> Icehawk, oh.... no idea what to do about that... first I would try logout and or reset.
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> none: or you could even boot live CD and edit the blacklist.conf file in the installed OS and blacklist the file that way
[02:57] <Ethek> My Ubuntu software center fails to launch, any idea how I can troubleshoot it?
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> Ethek: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update
[02:58] <ms-daisy> I would like to use my secondary drive to store data from both windows and ubuntu files. Sounds like it needs to be formatted FAT.  Is there a backup program that anyone can recommend suited for this application?
[02:58] <proxinix> do you know how to use the command line Ethek ?
[02:58] <nrdb> Icehawk, when you get it going again I would like to see the output of "route -n"
[02:58] <Ethek> I can open the term to get the outpu ActionParsnip mentioned
[02:58] <krababbel_> Icehawk: conceal your ipv6 address too for the mac
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> ms-daisy: fat32 has restrictions no filesize, its also not very robust. Both Ubuntu and Windows can write NTFS
[02:58] <proxinix> I've never used software center yet - always on the command line
[02:59] <none> ActionParsnip, ..... sacarlson  the 12.04 livecd works perfect... but i cannot reach use anything on my computer.. shift does not work for text grub.. i will try to fix through the livecd
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> Ethek: can you make a apstebin of the text please
[02:59] <proxinix> yes Ethek put it in pastbin
[02:59] <ms-daisy> OK, so if I format it NTFS, which backup program could copy the data from Ubuntu to the drive ActionParsnip  (or anyone else who might know)?
[02:59] <Icehawk> krababbel_: Oh, okay, thanks. Wasn't sure if that was relavent or not.
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> ms-daisy: rsync
[03:00] <sacarlson> none: is your keyboard a usb device?  if so set bios to lagacy or it won't see the shift at boot
[03:00] <Icehawk> nrdb: Loading that up now.
[03:00] <ms-daisy> can you install rsync on a data hard drive with no OS ActionParsnip ?
[03:00] <escott> ms-daisy, if you are backing up to ntfs you are better off using a tool that creates tarballs the deja dup backup should do that for you
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> ms-daisy: no, you will need an OS, you can use a liveCD if necessary
[03:01] <lfaraone> I was upgrading a system from 10.04 to 12.04, and I see http://i.imgur.com/6lUIG.jpg on my screen; its basically just a bunch of []s. There're two buttons, not sure which one to press :P
[03:01] <y0om4> when using port triggering, I set source port any to 6667, and destination port any to 113 ... How come I set it to any instead of 6667 to 6667 and 113 to 113? How come port triggering to port 113 (identd) will not if i do the latter?
[03:01] <ms-daisy> thanks escott I'll check out deja dup.
[03:02] <none> sacarlson, ... my keyboard is 1995 ps2 from ibm
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> lfaraone: that stuff happens with gui apps, not sure what to advise really.
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> lfaraone: i'll try find a similar screenshot but with the text
[03:02] <lfaraone> ActionParsnip: just close it…?
[03:02] <krababbel_> y0om4: learn2tcp
[03:02] <sacarlson> none: should have no problem with that then as far as I know
[03:03] <wylde> krababbel_: comments like that are not helpful or necessary
[03:04] <ms-daisy> ActionParsnip: a liveCD- how would that work? Do you know of any tutorials or links?
[03:04] <krababbel_> sorry wylde
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> lfaraone: yeah, seems to be 'something bad happened, report an error' kinda jive
[03:04] <nrdb> lfaraone, I say the top button is 'cancel' and the bottom is 'ok' ... but you don't know the question... (bad font)
[03:04] <wylde> krababbel_: just trying to keep thiungs friendly in here ;)
[03:04] <wylde> things*
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> ms-daisy: you can mount the source and destination partitions in the liveCD and copy the data in the manner of your choosing
[03:05] <axisys> how do I find out who is using swap?
[03:05]  * ms-daisy thinks that ship may have sailed wylde  *zykotic10*
[03:05] <wylde> *gasp*
[03:06] <Icehawk> nrdb: http://pastie.org/3908061
[03:06] <zykotic10> axisys: only the kernel uses swap really.  "free" in a terminal will tell you how much is being used.
[03:07] <ms-daisy> OK, thanks ActionParsnip. And I guess that differs from mounting the second drive in my Ubuntu installation & rsyncing it from there?
[03:07] <sacarlson> y0om4: from the port numbers I guess your setting up an IRC server?
[03:08] <Icehawk> ActionParsnip: Restarting now with the ethernet never plugged in, but wicd *may* have solved my problem.
[03:08] <axisys> zykotic10: i know about free.. but is there a to find out which processes is causing kernel to swap?
[03:08] <axisys> zykotic10: like dtrace shows in solaris
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> Icehawk: wicd is awesome imho, just doesn't play well with 3G (last I checked anyway)
[03:09] <zykotic10> axisys: sorry, never looked into it THAT closely.  Good luck.
[03:09] <Icehawk> ActionParsnip: One thing I did notice was that it asked for a user - will it help the connection if a user isn't logged in?
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> axisys: use:  free -m    to show the values in megabytes (easier to read)
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> Icehawk: I believe so
[03:10] <axisys> ActionParsnip: thanks for the switch.. I still like to find out what is causing the swap
[03:10] <escott> axisys, the kernel swaps at the page level. processes will swap in pages as they are needed. perhaps you want to look at the kernel performance counters
[03:11] <Icehawk> ActionParsnip: It appears it did! Thanks a ton. When you say it doesn't play well with 3G... do you mean it may interfere with my cell phone's reception?
[03:12] <sioux_> !realtime
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> Icehawk: yeah as far as I remember, its not something I use outside my phone
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> Icehawk: wicd also has wicd-curses which is great on servers :)
[03:12] <axisys> escott: which one? vmstat -s 1 does not show which process
[03:12] <sioux_> hi how can i install the kernel real time in ubuntu 12.04 ?
[03:12] <Icehawk> ActionParsnip: Oh, so you don't mean it'll affect my phone's reception, unless I'm installing and running it *on* my phone?
[03:13] <escott> axisys, https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page
[03:13] <wylde> !valgrind | axisys : is this along the lines of what you want?
[03:13] <wylde> !info valgrind | axisys : is this along the lines of what you want?
[03:13] <axisys> wylde: does it show which process?
[03:14] <axisys> i will take a peek
[03:14] <wylde> typo'd the factoid! >.<
[03:15] <nrdb> Icehawk, I can't see anything wrong there.
[03:15] <axisys> escott: which pkg? linux-tools-common or linux-base ?
[03:15] <ms-daisy> Thanks ActionParsnip and escott for the backup help :)
[03:15] <escott> axisys, no idea what package it would be
[03:15] <Icehawk> nrdb: I'm not sure what actually was wrong before, but installing wicd appears to have fixed the issue, whatever it was.
[03:17] <Icehawk> ActionParsnip: Anyhow, thanks a ton for your help!
[03:17] <Icehawk> nrdb: Thanks for your help as well :)
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> Icehawk: not sure, sometimes wicd plays better sometimes. Especially when interfaces get names like wlan1 rather than wlan0
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> Icehawk: np man
[03:17] <axisys> escott: nice tool.. thanks
[03:18] <nrdb> Icehawk, so your online there?
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> nrdb: you're
[03:20] <Areckx> I am attempting to dual boot Ubuntu 10.04(running now) and Debian 6.0.4 ; at the moment I am downloading the live .iso files in order to first resize the main partition and create a new one for debian to boot from, my only problem lies with GRUB2, how do I set it up prior to starting debian install from livecd?
[03:20] <nrdb> ActionParsnip, yes ... not quite right there.
[03:20] <veebull> if using an ubuntu machine as a gateway server for a variety of different distros (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, CentOS, Scientific) that can't directly share repos 100% safely... would squid be able to provide some of the same benefit i.e. only need to download a given package from a given host *once*?
[03:21] <none> sacarlson, ......... it is very difficult to change the grub settings from livecd
[03:21] <nrdb> Areckx, the install process should notice the other installation (if its Linux) and setup grub for you...
[03:22] <none> even after chroot it wouldn't correctly update-grub after i altered /etc/default/grub
[03:22] <Areckx> nrdb::  last time I was installing it kept trying to install grub
[03:22] <none> this kind of thing is difficult for me to fix, and really i am not an idiot
[03:22] <Areckx> nrdb::  unless for some magical reason I can do it this time...
[03:23] <zykotic10> veebull: i believe apt-cacher-ng can apt-proxy various deb distros simultaniously (you'd need to convirm that)
[03:23] <none> i have no idea how these bullshit problems keep crawling into ubuntu.... things windows and previous ubuntu could do flawlessly are now Fucked beyond all repair
[03:23] <Areckx> none::  that's why I stick with 10.04
[03:23] <none> why not just outsource the entire booting process to windows.... if ubuntu can't even set display settings correctly
[03:24] <veebull> zykotic10, Thanks
[03:24] <John_Zhi> zalbisser_
[03:24] <nrdb> Areckx, the worst that could happen is that the first grub set would be overwritten with the second grub setup and only boot into the second installation... you then would be where you are now and can modify the grub setup once both installs are done.
[03:25] <Oer> none, the display of the bootproces is very important, i see it 6 seconds, too short to start the splash grinn
[03:25] <nrdb> Areckx, I once had a computer that had about 6 different Linux installations on it at once.
[03:25] <Icehawk> nrdb: Yes I am, now.
[03:26] <nrdb> Icehawk, great ... bye.
[03:27] <nrdb> Areckx, I would suggest that you let the second setup do what it wants with grub... it should just work.
[03:29] <qawsedrf> is there a guide to setup my domain on my new vps via ssh ?
[03:31] <Areckx> nrdb::  all right, waiting for downloads to finish, I'll let you know as I progress
[03:31]  * jsuhrstedt
[03:31] <nrdb> Areckx, ok
[03:34] <dotnetted> Hey all - is it possible to run a single node on the same physical server as the maas controller with 12.04? Thanks
[03:34] <joseph_> never had a problem installing ubuntu before. everything frezzeses after dectecting hardware about 3/4 the way though install. anyone came acoss this problem on a old dell.
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> dotnetted: how do you mean 'node'? Its a very ambigious term...
[03:39] <dotnetted> ActionParsnip: I'd like to get a MAAS node running on the same machine the MAAS controller is on (similar to MAAS xml.sys-con.com/node/1349818/mobile with UEC)
[03:40] <dotnetted> With UEC I could run the NC and CC on the same machine (useful for experimenting with UEC without having 2 physical boxes)
[03:43] <King_OnTheGo> sudokode there's nothing going on
[03:44] <twirlbang> What's the proper way to update the kernel. apt-get dist-upgrade?
[03:44] <sudokode> King_OnTheGo: hello
[03:44] <dotnetted> The intended result would be having the MAAS management interface and a copy of some distro (ubuntu desktop) running on a single node on the same machine that manages it -- I guess I could pull it off by sticking the MAAS node inside virtualbox but nested virtualization does''t sound very fast heh
[03:44] <zykotic10> twirlbang: if you mean, a regular kernel update from default repo - yes use dist-upgrade

[03:49] <Chipzzz> st3el: while holding down Alt+PrtScr, press r, e, i, s, u, o
[03:50] <zykotic10> st3el: have you tried File / Quit (or similar).  instead of using the X?  Rhythmbox usually minimizes rather then close.
[03:50] <FoolsRun> So? I upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10 and my boot loader now says "No Such Partition" and Boot-Repair just scans and scans forever.
[03:50] <zykotic10> st3el: be careful with Chipzzz suggestion!
[03:51] <dotnetted> Before I waste the next 30 mins ... If I boot Server 12.04 into a VirtualBox instance on the same server that is running a MAAS controller, will it be able to detect the controller and add itself as a node? Thnx.
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> st3el: what do you want the combo to do?
[03:51] <zykotic10> ActionParsnip: re:st3el close rhythmbox ;)
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> dotnetted: i'd ask in #vbox too
[03:51] <st3el> zykotic10,  No I didn't but now its running and I'm not sure how to stop it...
[03:51] <dotnetted> ActionParsnip: good idea
[03:51] <Chipzzz> zykotic10: look in wikipedia for "linux magic keys"... no danger with that key combo
[03:51] <zykotic10> st3el: in the menu isn't there a quit/close?
[03:51] <st3el> zykotic10, note
[03:51] <st3el> zykotic10, noted
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> st3el: press ALT+F2 and run: xkill    then click the app

[03:52] <Geforce88> ubuntu 12.04, nvidia current drivers, while using twinview the cursor 'sticks' on the unity launcher when going between windows. what is the fix ? also, the unity bar doesn't hide when application is in full screen. what is the fix ?
[03:53] <wylde> Geforce88: that's the sticky option for the launch bar. You turn it off in System Settings > Displays, or Appearance.
[03:53] <Geforce88> i'll go try it , wylde, thx
[03:54] <wylde> Geforce88: I'm looking for the right spot now. I could possibly be mixing in options from ubuntu-tweak though :s

[03:59] <xubu> is there a program or command i can use to suspend my laptop at a specified time or countdown?

[04:00] <sudokode> xubu: sleep?
[04:00] <zykotic10> sudokode: sleep is just a pause-like feature for scripts
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> xubu: echo 'pmi action suspend' | at now + 40 minutes         for suspending 40 mins time
[04:01] <xubu> is there a difference between sleep and suspend?

[04:04] <axisys> i have a dvd+rw dvd.. but failing to blank it after burning some data in it
[04:04] <axisys> Error: this media does not support blanking, ignoring.
[04:04] <axisys> This drive or media does not support the 'BLANK media' command
[04:05] <axisys> so I must be misunderstanding dvd+rw rewritable label?
[04:05] <Resistance> axisys:  is your system capable of handling rewritable disks?
[04:05] <Resistance> axisys:  not every CD/DVD burner can work with RW disks
[04:05] <ki4ro> Is there a difference between restart and log out?
[04:06] <King_OnTheGo> of course?
[04:06] <axisys> cdrecord ISOs/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso seems to working
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> axisys: sure its a RW?
[04:06] <axisys> so just not able to blank it.. my laptop has dvd rw printed on the cd tray
[04:06] <Nk26> How is the flash game support in 12.04? thinking of throwing that on a netbook for my son instead of windows 7
[04:07] <axisys> ActionParsnip: cdrecord ISOs/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso shouldn't be working otherwise.. i already burned some other data few mins ago
[04:07]  * jeremy__
[04:07] <Chipzzz> axissys: wodim is a command line cd/dvd writing utility that often works when gui apps don't
[04:07] <axisys> ActionParsnip: unless it will say failed lot later
[04:07] <ki4ro> Is there a difference between restart and log out?
[04:08] <King_OnTheGo> of course?
[04:08] <Northwoods> which editor can be used to edit 100 MB sql text file ?
[04:08] <EvilResistance> ki4ro:  'log out' only logs you out, but leaves other system processes running.  'restart' will literally reboot your system
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> axisys: could try blanking it in cli
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> axisys: or try xfburn, see if it plays nice
[04:09] <EvilResistance> ki4ro:  which involves shutting off system processes and literally telling your computer to run a boot cycle again
[04:09] <Northwoods> Which editor can i use to edit a 100 MB file ?
[04:09] <ki4ro> EvilResistance: Okay...it looks the same but obviously is not...thanks!
[04:09] <axisys> i were able to put new ubuntu image
[04:09] <axisys> ActionParsnip: ^
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> Northwoods: libreoffice
[04:09] <EvilResistance> ki4ro:  they are actually different :p
[04:09] <axisys> so RW worked.. just not blanking
[04:09] <Northwoods> ActionParsnip, can it handle a 100 mb file , any other you sugges ?
[04:09] <ki4ro> EvilResistance: Thanks!
[04:10] <EvilResistance> ki4ro:  but most people don't run without the boot screen / splash screens disabled, so...
[04:10]  * EvilResistance does
[04:10] <wylde> EvilResistance: what is this boot/splash screen you speak of?
[04:10] <wylde> :P

[04:10] <GeForce88> 12.04 unity doesn't hide when using an app full screen. how do you fix this ?
[04:10] <vodik> ki4ro: you can only complete a kernel upgrade with a reboot, there's one very big practical difference
[04:10] <k014> i have installed nvidia drivers from webpage, .... how can i uninstall them?

[04:11] <dotnetted> anyone have a link to the changes in Ubuntu's cloud capabilities over the last few releases? It looks like it went form UEC to UC to MAAS and the docs reference all 3 variants depending on which links you click - And nothing seems to really explain what the current situation is or what the different parts accomplish. Thanks.
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> axisys: or: sudo dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/dvdrw
[04:11] <EvilResistance> wylde:  disabled the '12.04' purple screen and disabled 'quiet' mode so i see all the kernel messages and boot up messages instead of the pretty purple screen that says "Ubuntu 12.04"
[04:11] <EvilResistance> s/disabled/i disabled/
[04:11] <mosno> is it normal for firefox to NOT have the ubuntu-style scroll bars?
[04:11] <wylde> EvilResistance: yep, me too. I'd rather see the messages than the purple screen.

[04:15] <GeForce88> wykde, was there a trick to making the unity launcher hide when i use an app full screen ?
[04:15] <wylde> GeForce88: I think it will only hide if you set auto-hide on always.
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> axisys: did you try the suggested command in the output?
[04:16] <axisys> ActionParsnip: blank=all ? yes
[04:16] <GeForce88> wylde, where would i find that? displays again?
[04:16] <wylde> GeForce88: there may be some cli witchcraft to make it happen that I don't know about tho :)
[04:16] <axisys> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/986582/
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> axisys: yes, did you try it?
[04:16] <axisys> ActionParsnip: yes I tried with blank=all
[04:16] <wylde> GeForce88: that was for the "Sticky" setting, I think auto-hide may be there as well. If not it'll be in appearance
[04:16] <axisys> ActionParsnip: this is what I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/986582/
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> axisys: did you try: sudo dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/sr0
[04:17] <intrader> Anyone, is is Ok to use the update manager to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04. What should I save?
[04:18] <EvilResistance> intrader:  you should back up your information you want to keep first
[04:18] <EvilResistance> just in case
[04:18] <EvilResistance> intrader:  and honestly, i'd do the upgrade from the command line, not from update manager
[04:18] <EvilResistance> (but that's just me)
[04:18] <Sheldon420> Test
[04:18] <axisys> ActionParsnip: it seems ignoring -force
[04:18] <EvilResistance> Sheldon420:  success, but in future, #test exists
[04:18] <axisys> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/986587/
[04:18] <wylde> 3 basic rules for ANY OS 1. Backup 2. Backup 3. Backup ..... IMHO
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> intrader: sure, Oneiric to Precise is a suported upgrade :)
[04:19] <EvilResistance> wylde:  you forgot rule #4: backup
[04:19] <wilee-nilee> intrader, whatever you cannot afford to lose
[04:19] <GeForce88> wylde, you were correct. thanks mate.
[04:19] <wylde> GeForce88: np :)
[04:19] <Chipzzz> axisys: try adding "speed=1" to the wodim command line
[04:19] <axisys> ActionParsnip: sudo dvd+rw-format -force /dev/sr0 trying this
[04:19] <Sheldon420> EvilResistance: haha, I was checking if my messages are going through.  Thanks for confirming.
[04:19] <intrader> EvilResistance, `thanks, from command line, how?
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> axisys: could just throw the media and get new, DVDs are cheap
[04:19] <EvilResistance> intrader:  i'd recommend even moreso from the TTY, i forget the command offhand, but someone else here might know.  that, and i'm headed off because i'm exhausted.
[04:20] <intrader> EvilResistance, rest my friend - thanks
[04:21] <axisys> ActionParsnip: sudo dvd+rw-format -force /dev/sr0 this worked
[04:21] <axisys> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/986591/
[04:21] <axisys> ActionParsnip: thanks a lot!
[04:21] <axisys> ActionParsnip: i did not need to throw it.. RW worked.. just blanking was failing
[04:21] <axisys> ActionParsnip: now that works too.. thanks again!

[04:23] <Naemdar> Hello all, I have a design question for a a4 powered media computer
[04:24] <xubu> ActionParsnip: thanks, i just find exactly what i'm looking for ... http://www.techlw.com/2012/02/install-qshutdown-timer-in-ubuntulinux.html
[04:24] <Naemdar> Would I need a video capture card to intercept the signal from the cable box?
[04:24] <Naemdar> going to run linux on it
[04:25] <Chipzzz> Trying one last time: i've installed eclipse and am trying to install the android SDK in precise but 'Android' doesn't show up in the preferences window. Anybody have any ideas?
[04:25] <Sheldon420> naemdar: yes, i think you would need one.
[04:26] <axisys> mplayer plays this mp4 fine.. but vlc does not
[04:26] <axisys> what gives? should I ask it in #videolan channel instead ?
[04:26] <Naemdar> the mobo has hdmi out and I found a video capture card with dual hdmi
[04:26] <axisys> http://paste.ubuntu.com/986593/
[04:26] <Chipzzz> axisys: they don't necessarily share the same codecs
[04:27] <axisys> Chipzzz: i thought anything plays on vlc.. :-) .. guess not
[04:27] <vodik> axisys: well they're both ffmpeg backed, afaik, they just may not be running the same version
[04:27] <Naemdar> Am I right in thinking I could rock ubuntu or mint and turn that rig into a capture/bd recorder then?
[04:28] <Chipzzz> axisys: their support is very good but mplayer does provide more codecs
[04:28] <Naemdar> as well as a bd player
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> Naemdar: what is 'bd'?
[04:28] <Naemdar> blue ray
[04:28] <vodik> playing blueray on linux is fun
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> Naemdar: don't see why not
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> doesn't vlc do blueray now?
[04:29] <Naemdar> cool deal will save me 100 bucks then on the os
[04:29] <Naemdar> I figure 8 gigs of ram quad core 2.6 with built in gpu, and a 1t drive with 100 gigs cut off for linux
[04:30] <vodik> ActionParsnip: decryption is still an issue, afaik
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> vlc ver 2.0: Experimental Blu-Ray Discs support using libbluray
[04:30] <vodik> but if you can break it, yes
[04:30] <vodik> its not quite like libdvdcss
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> not bothered for bluray personally, thats all I know
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> Naemdar: get an nvidia video card to :)
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> Naemdar: built in GPUs don't really cut it
[04:31] <Naemdar> going for really low power, I had considered a 7770 as that is powered off of the pcie port
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> Naemdar: you'll only need about 20Gb for linux (including swap)
[04:32] <Naemdar> it just has to all fit in a slim case and run cool without excessive fans
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> Naemdar: trimslice will decode HD video...
[04:33] <Naemdar> sweet, I knew this was the place get advice on the build
[04:34] <Naemdar> its kind of a project that I suspect will be a good learning experience
[04:35] <Naemdar> and 960 gigs or so to just store media is a winner
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> Naemdar: i'd just buy a trimslice and a 1Tb USB HDD :)
[04:37] <Naemdar> That is an option as well
[04:37] <Naemdar> its in the design stage right now, I figure why pay comcast for dvr service when I can build my own.

[04:44] <qawsedrf> when i run a command as sudo, in auth.log the it shows USER=root instead of my username, is that fine/normal ?
[04:45] <windbuntu> how long has it been stuck trc?
[04:45] <wylde> qawsedrf: yep. sudo = running the command as root.
[04:45] <qawsedrf> ok
[04:45] <phuongvo> Hi
[04:45] <trc> Pretty long. Not normal I guess
[04:45] <qawsedrf> wylde: the root account is locked in ubuntu - what does that mean ?
[04:45] <windbuntu> like half hour or more?
[04:46] <wylde> qawsedrf: it means it has no password set. :)
[04:46] <Saik> hey guys. I have a big problem. I can't get /dev/sda to show at all in devices
[04:46] <Sheldon420> trc: how long has it been?
[04:46] <qawsedrf> wylde: hm, i bought a new VPS, it gives me root login and has a password (i use that when i ssh)
[04:46] <trc> Sheldon420: I think should be more than an hour.
[04:46] <Sheldon420> trc: i updated the flashplugin installer a few minutes back .. it took almost 10-15 mins for me.
[04:46] <Jordan_U> Saik: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[04:46] <qawsedrf> ssh root@ip , then it asks for the root password i think, so i can login as root
[04:46] <zykotic10> Saik: sda is a drive (single device), do you mean partitions (sda1 for example)?
[04:47] <windbuntu> trc do you have a fast stable internet connection?
[04:47] <Sheldon420> trc: geez.  that's quite long indeed.  are you doing the update from terminal?
[04:47] <qawsedrf> so something wrong ?
[04:47] <Guest43125> Sheldon420,...i was try but its same problem..
[04:47] <trc> Sheldon420: No, the distribution upgrade utility.
[04:47] <wylde> qawsedrf: you can set one, it's very much discouraged. Especially for "users".
[04:47] <trc> Upgrding from 11.10 to 12.04
[04:48] <zykotic10> Saik: sorry, misread your statement - nevermind me ;)
[04:48] <Sheldon420> guest43125: close your irc software.  open it again, within like 30 seconds, you have to type /nick <nickname> to register it for the session.
[04:48] <Sheldon420> trc: hmmm.  one sec
[04:48] <wylde> qawsedrf: If it's a VPS then that's how your provider set it up. I suppose you could create yourself a non-root user to use for running tasks.
[04:49] <boh> hello
[04:49] <qawsedrf> ok
[04:50] <Saik> Jordan_U, sure, sec
[04:51] <Sheldon420> trc: unfortunately, if you cancel while the update is happening, it might screw up your system.  hope you've made a backup. in the future, it's probably best to upgrade from a live usb or do a fresh install.
[04:52] <trc> Sheldon420: Exactly. I'm thinking to cancel  the update and install downloaded deb packages myself
[04:52] <trc> Lets see
[04:52] <Sheldon420> trc: it might make your system unbootable.
[04:53] <Saik> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/iEkbu7Ju
[04:53] <zykotic10> Sheldon420: i don't see trying to update versions from a liveusb as possible.  chrooting would be required, isn't that just adding a lot of complexity?
[04:53] <trc> Sheldon420: Not a problem. Can install grunb again from livecs
[04:54] <Sheldon420> trc: as long as you've made a backup and don't have another OS on the computer, you shouldn't have too much problems in fixing it.
[04:54] <Jordan_U> Saik: Does any OS see the internal drive? Are you sure that there isn't a hardware problem?
[04:54] <qawsedrf> wylde: how do you set password for root ? just wondering
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> qawsedrf: its not supported here
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> !noroot
[04:55] <wylde> qawsedrf: ^^ what ActionParsnip said
[04:55] <Sheldon420> zykotic10: there's an option in the livecd/usb to upgrade. pretty simple.
[04:55] <n1ckn4me09876543> I installed this OS with home encryption on /sda1   harddrive then I set the swap on /sdc1,  I used the /sdb1 as stick installation instead of cd-rom, but when I pulled it out to boot from /sda1  I guess it made sdc1 into sdb1, and now I have no swap. When ubuntu boots up it tells me this: The disk drive for dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not yet ready or present.
[04:55] <trc> Sheldon420: Yeah. Thanks :)
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> qawsedrf: you don't need to either, just run:  sudo -i
[04:55] <qawsedrf> hehe ok
[04:55] <qawsedrf> :D
[04:56] <zykotic10> is Sheldon420's upgrading ubuntu-version from livecd/usb true?  history only the alternative iso could be used for updating?
[04:56] <Saik> Jordan_U, it was fine a few hours ago
[04:56] <Saik> Jordan_U, I eraces the partions and that happened
[04:56] <wylde> zykotic10: for the sake of trying I updated one of my machines using a "livecd". It went quite well actually.
[04:56] <zykotic10> wylde: humm, that's interesting.
[04:57] <Saik> Jordan_U, Windows couldn't see it. I tried reformating it in linux and it vanished
[04:57] <Jordan_U> Saik: I don't think that erasing the partitions has anything to do with the dive as a whole not showing up. I suspect that the drive hardware simply died.
[04:57] <Sheldon420> zykotic10: i'm not just speaking out of my ass, you know :)
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> n1ckn4me09876543: the fstab uses UUIDs, not the block names, so it won't make a different
[04:57] <qawsedrf> wylde: ActionParsnip: basically, sudo runs a command as the root user , right ?
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> *difference
[04:57] <wylde> qawsedrf: yes.
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> qawsedrf: yes, if you need admin access, prefix with sudo
[04:57] <qawsedrf> ok, thank you
[04:58] <zykotic10> Sheldon420: sorry, just needed some confirmation.
[04:58] <Sheldon420> zykotic10: no worries
[04:58] <wylde> zykotic10: I read it somewhere that it was possible with the 12.04 live media so I tried it :)
[04:59] <n1ckn4me09876543> ActionParsnip, ok how can i remap it so I'm using swap? the only reason I set swap on different device is I read somewhere online that putting the os and swap on save harddrive will make it work more because it reads back and fort etc etc
[05:00] <wylde> n1ckn4me09876543: that would really only become an issue if you're running with a small amount of RAM
[05:00] <Saik> Jordan_U, explain how that could be possible when it was showing up just a short while ago?
[05:01] <Jordan_U> Saik: Hardware dies. That means that there will be a point where it is working, and another point later where it is not.
[05:01] <Saik> Jordan_U, but what exactly does this mean: Error: /dev/sr0: unrecognised disk label
[05:02] <Jordan_U> Saik: It may simply be a loose connection rather than something unfixable, but it's almost certainly a hardware problem.
[05:02] <Saik> Jordan_U, Windows gives a "Unmountablte_boot_volume" error
[05:02] <Jordan_U> Saik: That means that your CDROM drive doesn't isn't formatted like a normal hard drive, i.e. that error is completely normal.
[05:03] <cmdpromt> the last time i tried installing precise it froze and I ended up having to completely reinstall my os and lost all data
[05:03] <Saik> hodl on, I have another hd
[05:03] <wylde> cmdpromt: that's why you keep backups.
[05:03] <Saik> an external, bt let's see if it shows
[05:04] <cmdpromt> that's beside the point
[05:04] <Saik> Jordan_U, Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB  (external hd..)
[05:04] <Saik> that should be sdb )
[05:06] <n1ckn4me09876543> also I need help configuring my Belkin wireless adapter, I'm using n600db
[05:06] <Jordan_U> Saik: I hope you have backups for all the data that was on the now dead drive. You might ask in ##hardware for tips on what cables or other simple things to check but don't get your hopes up.
[05:06] <Saik> Jordan_U, I'll do a quick HW check and see if anything's out of place in the tower
[05:06] <Saik> I'll be right back
[05:06] <Saik> (I'm not going in the tower with the power on)
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> n1ckn4me09876543: if you edit your /etc/fstab file, you can make the right partition be used for swap. You can see the UUID of the partition by running:  sudo blkid
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> n1ckn4me09876543: could also run: sudo swapon a
[05:09] <gbear14275> Hello, I am having problems getting an application to show on the unity dock.  I drag it over but it just disappears...
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> n1ckn4me09876543: sudo swapon -a
[05:09] <gbear14275> Can't find much on google..  Anyone seen this before?
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> n1ckn4me09876543: the router is moot, we need your wireless adapter
[05:10] <boh> gbear14275, open the application from dash, when it shows in the panel, right click on it and select attach to panel
[05:10] <lorddelta> Gdammit. Any help with upgrading my distro? 11 hour long upgrade just failed, failed on the kernel update I think...
[05:11] <lorddelta> God damn that bug.
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: tried with the alternate ISO?
[05:11] <gbear14275> boh, it never shows in the panel
[05:11] <jagginess> that sux
[05:11] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: Not using ISO
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: you could try it
[05:11] <windbuntu> i hate that when  that happens
[05:11] <n1ckn4me09876543> ActionParsnip, my usb wireless adapter is n600db  F9L1101v1
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> n1ckn4me09876543: run:  lsusb   use the 8 character hex ID to find guides
[05:12] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: I could...if I could figure out where to get it/what it does. I don't have a GUI, trying to fly by console only...
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> lorddelta: you don't need GUI to mount an ISO file
[05:12] <gbear14275> boh, it shows in top but I can't get to the interface...
[05:12] <gbear14275> very confusing
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> n1ckn4me09876543: seems to use ndiswrapper as most belkin rubbish does
[05:13] <pp7> how do u set up copy-on-write using aufs or overlayfs?
[05:13] <gbear14275> now I can't alt-tab to it either
[05:13] <boh> gbear14275, what application are you using?
[05:13] <gbear14275> boh, transmission
[05:14] <wylde> gbear14275:  ...is there an icon up by the clock when it's running?
[05:14] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: Sure... How is an alternate ISO file going to help me out? Since its a bug with there not being enough space on /boot...shouldn't I just uninstall the new kernel and try running the upgrade again?
[05:14] <gbear14275> wylde, there was, but I recently turned it off thinking perhaps that was the problem.  Now I can't even get to the gui
[05:14] <boh> gbear14275, if i'm not wrong, you mean the application not showing in indicator applet?
[05:14] <n1ckn4me09876543> ActionParsnip, i type in command   lsusb    then what 8 character the model number?
[05:15] <gbear14275> wylde, I used to have to click on that icon, select "open" and then cancel out of that screen to get the main gui up
[05:15] <n1ckn4me09876543> ActionParsnip nvm
[05:15] <gbear14275> boh, it's not showing anywhere in the gui
[05:15] <gbear14275> boh, but it's running... shows in top
[05:15] <wylde> gbear14275: hmmm, yeah the transmission icon only shows on my launcher when I open it from the indicator.
[05:16] <mosno> why do i get choppy Adobe Flash audio only on Ubuntu? CentOS, Debian and Fedora don't do this
[05:16] <mosno> it's a ThinkPad T60 with 3GB RAM
[05:16] <mosno> and it's a bit of a deal-breaker :(
[05:17] <wylde> gbear14275: not sure what to tell you. I've not ever had a problem of that sort with transmission.
[05:17] <gbear14275> wylde, boh, haha, indications still work though... just "dinged" at me when it completed a file
[05:17] <wylde> lol
[05:17] <wylde> gbear14275: what if you tried to launch it in terminal.
[05:17] <boh> gbear14275, so you can see the transmission icon near the indicator area but does not show up in the unity panel?
[05:18] <gbear14275> boh, no... I see no indications that it is running at all
[05:18] <gbear14275> wylde, nothing right now... guessing because it's already running
[05:18] <gbear14275> wylde, let me kill it and try to relaunch
[05:19] <wylde> gbear14275:  'killall transmission-gtk' then try starting with 'transmission-gtk'
[05:19] <wylde> gbear14275: if it's throwing errors they'll show in the terminal window
[05:19] <boh> gbear14275, look at the running process from system monitor and see if transmission is running
[05:19] <gbear14275> ???
[05:19] <gbear14275> killall says it's not running... but top does... wtf?!
[05:20] <gbear14275> boh, yup shows up there
[05:20] <gbear14275> ok killed it through system monitor
[05:20] <gbear14275> I'll try launching from dash
[05:21] <wylde> gbear14275: lol ok, apparently that doesn't work, if you can get the pid from top 'kill <PID>
[05:22] <gbear14275> wylde, boh, ok comes up when I launch it.... but still no indicators anywhere... if I minimize it I think I won't be able to get back to it
[05:22] <wylde> gbear14275: you have an icon on the launcher now tho?
[05:22] <wylde> gbear14275:  if so pin it now hehe
[05:22] <gbear14275> wylde, boh also doesn't show up in alt-tab menu either... is that program list related to the thing on the left (?dash?)
[05:22] <gbear14275> ah nope... no launcher indicator
[05:23] <wylde> gbear14275: that's the "Launchbar"
[05:23] <greatestud> Is there games, ala the first myst's, but which uses high-resolution still pictures from the real world?
[05:23] <rfictus> how to close ports 135, 137, 138, 139?
[05:23] <greatestud> or any games
[05:23] <gbear14275> wylde, ok no launchbar/launcher indicator also no icon in my alt-tab icons... are they related?
[05:24] <cmdpromt> OMG I remember Myst. I also remember Riven being uber difficult. Could never get past that one place...
[05:24] <wylde> gbear14275:  that's definitely odd behavior. At this point I'd suggest filing a bug. 'ubuntu-bug transmission-gtk' will get the process started. I'll search a bit on askubuntu.com and the forums.
[05:25] <gbear14275> wylde, just found tis: http://askubuntu.com/questions/129452/application-locked-to-launcher-without-icon
[05:25] <gbear14275> will try
[05:25] <TomatoKetchup> rfictus, do you use Samba?  I think those ports are required for it to function
[05:25] <gbear14275> wylde thanks ill file a bug
[05:25] <rfictus> TomatoKetchup: no, no samba
[05:25] <rfictus> just ubuntu
[05:25] <rfictus> TomatoKetchup: ubuntu
[05:26] <wylde> gbear14275: thanks, that is most certainly not "intended behavior".
[05:26] <gbear14275> success
[05:26] <gbear14275> that command looks to have fixed itt
[05:27] <wylde> gbear14275: good stuff, I'd still file a bug though :)
[05:27] <gbear14275> but problem was persistent across reboot fyi
[05:27] <rfictus> gotta go
[05:27] <wylde> or search for one. It's probably got a fix if there's a soloution for it.
[05:27] <TomatoKetchup> assuming he didn't know what Samba is
[05:27] <gbear14275> that command didn't background either... still in my terminal
[05:28] <wylde> gbear14275: if you hit enter does it go to the background? :)
[05:28] <gbear14275> thanks for your help wylde and boh
[05:29] <wylde> gbear14275:  :)
[05:29] <boh> gbear14275: you are welcome
[05:29] <Saik> Jordan_U, http://www.casimages.com/img.php?i=120514074040573862.png
[05:34] <Saik> Jordan_U, any ideas?
[05:36] <mosno> well, i "fixed" my stuttering audio in Adobe Flash -- i switched from Unity to Unity 2D.
[05:37] <lorddelta> ActionParsnip: Well, looks like I am running the new kernel, and the new Ubuntu. However, I'm still relegated to cmdline...gotta figure out how to get some sort of working desktop back...looks like the updates killed KDE. Doesn't help I'm two months rusty on my *nix stuff.
[05:37] <nibalizer> lorddelta: can you service lightdm start?
[05:38] <nibalizer> or did you use kdm?
[05:39] <lorddelta> nibalizer: seems like I setup kdm. Ubuntu sure doesn't have this sweet faux-Steampunk login page. :)
[05:39] <lorddelta> Not by default anyways.
[05:40] <lorddelta> nibalizer: Am I in for a long grueling read on how to setup ubuntu desktop with kdm?
[05:41] <unkrr> i want to use KDE widget inside gnome environment  is that possible ??
[05:42] <Saik> Jordan_U, and now it doesn't show up again
[05:43] <lorddelta> unkrr: Seems likely...You can use Qt/KDE/GTK inside Gnome/KDE Desktop...You probably have to start a daemon or something. No I don't know which one, just getting back into this myself, but I think it should be *possible*, persay
[05:44] <greatestud> Is there games, ala the first myst's, but which uses high-resolution still pictures from the real world?
[05:44] <mosno> so do i file a bug under unity or flash?
[05:45] <unkrr> lorddelta, any suggestion or help regarding that ?
[05:45] <Loshki> unkrr: you can run kde apps from gnome, provided you have the right libraries. Apt should take care of that for you, as long as you don't mind a large install....
[05:45] <unkrr> Loshki, okk thnx
[05:46] <unkrr> lorddelta, thnx
[05:47] <Jordan_U> Saik: Again, this is almost certainly a hardware problem.
[05:48] <Jordan_U> Saik: Can you pastebin the outptu of "dmesg"?
[05:48] <lorddelta> unkrr: Look around the documentation for plasma-widgets. www.kde.org
[05:49] <lorddelta> unkrr: Though from personal experience, its always a headache getting gtk and qt to play nice together, so don't expect it to be easy. Best of Luck!
[05:49] <unkrr> lorddelta, ok and by the way can you suggest me some widget that can be helpful for common bases like cpu usage mem usage and RSS feed
[05:49] <unkrr> yeah i need the luck
[05:49] <unkrr> thnx
[05:49] <Saik> Jordan_U, can you give me a command to print to file?
[05:50] <Jordan_U> Saik: dmesg > Desktop/dmesg.txt
[05:50] <sancas> i cant view the list with fdisk -l
[05:51] <sancas> i got it "fdisk: unable to look in /dev/sda: Invalid argument"
[05:51] <sancas> i have raid 0
[05:52] <Saik> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/5fc7ksgN
[05:52] <Jordan_U> sancas: If it's FakeRAID (which it appears to be) then you want to list partitions on the RAID device, not on one of the member drives.
[05:53] <Jordan_U> Saik: "[ 1759.912269] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 2048" more evidence that this is a hardware failure.
[05:54] <sancas> yeah is FakeRAID and... how can i get a list partitions on the RAID device?
[05:54] <lorddelta> unkrr: Well if you're using KDE, and I assume you are since you know about their widgets, I think it comes with CPU Monitor, which does a lot of that. I think there's a default RSS feed widget too...if you want a single widget to do all of that...sorry I don't know of one.
[05:54] <Jordan_U> sancas: "sudo parted -l" should work.
[05:55] <Saik> Jordan_U, any way to fix it at all without replacing the hard drive?
[05:55] <unkrr> lorddelta, yeah i need that single one would be helpful     anyways thnx for the help
[05:55] <Jordan_U> Saik: It depends on what type of failure it is, but unless it's just a bad cable probably not. Try asking in ##hardware.
[05:55] <sancas> thanks Jordan_U
[05:55] <Jordan_U> Saik: You're welcome.
[05:56] <Jordan_U> sancas: ^^ :)
[05:56] <sancas> ^
[05:56] <jeremy__> unkrr: try conky.  highly configurable and you can make it as easy or as complex as you like.
[05:56] <sancas> ^^
[05:56] <lorddelta> unkrr: np
[05:56] <unkrr> jeremy__, ok
[05:57] <Saik> Jordan_U, has a temp fix on it somehow, we had it working for some time until is stopped again

[06:25] <oeeve> Hi there, was hoping someone could help me with my java problem. I'm just getting "error, no plugin available" and thought the problem was with openjdk, so i uninstalled it and icedtea, and then installed sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jre... but when I do sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin, i get  this message: "Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has
[06:25] <oeeve> been obsoleted, or is only available from another source"..all ubuntu software repositiries are checked"
[06:25] <osmosis> how do I get rid of the sticky windows stickey mouse behavior? the edge of the screen always grabs my cursor when I am trying to go between screens, and when I am trying to drag windows across too.
[06:25] <g00053> ok, jokes over redtube isn't working....how do I get flash to work
[06:26] <sancas> oeeve: download jdk from here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
[06:26] <xangua> oeeve: oracle/sun jave is no longer in ubuntu repository
[06:27] <TomatoKetchup> g00053, are you having problems just on redtube?
[06:28] <Onixs> redtube!
[06:28] <TomatoKetchup> hah
[06:28] <Onixs> repornsitory
[06:28] <TomatoKetchup> poor guy can't get his fix
[06:30] <sancas> oeeve: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/linux/linux-jdk.html
[06:30] <Saik> any way to find out what TYPE of hardware you have in your pc on linux? (ie what type of hard drive)
[06:31] <oeeve> ah, that explains it:) thanks,,.. I could only find developers versions on the link you gave me, but I guess I get the same from java.com and I see they have som sort of install instructions too:)
[06:31] <veebull> what the heck is this?!?  fresh install of 12.04 server in a VM, updated, installed dhcp server and squid-deb-proxy... now I've got a process named 'whoopsie' running... sounds kinda odd!
[06:31] <sancas> oeeve: what version do you want?
[06:31] <oeeve> aha, that last link, I'll try that one, with java7;)  thanks;)
[06:32] <fidel> Saik: there is 'hwinfo' & 'lshw-gtk' & 'HardInfo' & 'SysInfo' - not sure what they provide in detail
[06:32] <griselda> pex
[06:32] <Saik> veebull, sorry, can't resist. that's just funny
[06:32] <TomatoKetchup> veebull, Ubuntu crash database submission daemon
[06:32] <oeeve> I don't know, I want the one thats easiest to install( I'm qite a noob when it comes to linux) and that can get me in to my online bank.
[06:32] <Saik> fidel: hwinfo sda?
[06:32] <Saik> fidel: hwinfo /dev/sda?
[06:32] <Jordan_U> sancas: What is the outptu of "sudo os-prober"?
[06:33] <sancas> Jordan_U: nothing :(
[06:33] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | sancas
[06:33] <Jordan_U> sancas: That usually means that your Windows installation is broken.
[06:33] <veebull> TomatoKetchup, interesting...  I found it first try, googled whoopsie ubuntu
[06:34] <bazhang> sancas, no cursing here
[06:34] <TomatoKetchup> ;)
[06:34] <sancas> oeeve: install the jdk7 read this tutorial and you can do it http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/linux/linux-jdk.html
[06:34] <fidel> Saik: reading man-pages for new cmd is alwas the way to go if you dont know em
[06:35] <Saik> fidel: Err http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe libhd15 15.3-1ubuntu1
[06:35] <veebull> TomatoKetchup, guess DuckDuckGo finally let me down ;)
[06:35] <Saik>   404 Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[06:35] <Saik> it hates me lol
[06:35] <sancas> i will try something :P
[06:35] <TomatoKetchup> veebull, yeah I gave up on that a few days ago... it's not google
[06:35] <bazhang> !eolupgrades | Saik
[06:35] <xangua> Saik: jaunty is has been long time since stopped support, please upgrade or install a supported ubuntu version
[06:36] <oeeve> I'll try that, thank you sancas:) btw, how do you get "my nick" in front of message? quite nifty, makes it quite a lot easier to chat in irc;p
[06:36] <bazhang> oeeve, type three letters and hit tab
[06:36] <veebull> no, no its not... but 99% of the time I can live without the 'tailored' search results
[06:36] <derpella> Hello. I am trying to make a new account, and it seems I am stuck on "gathering informations"? The computer is slow, but it takes like 10 minutes... Should I wait, or is it some error?
[06:36] <derpella> In ubuntuone
[06:37] <Saik> xangua, it's live CD and the pc won't boot anything newer from livecd
[06:37] <bazhang> derpella, also try #ubuntuone
[06:37] <TomatoKetchup> oeeve, type partial nick and hit Tab
[06:38] <g00053> TomatoKetchup, no everywhere...youtube works but i don't think it's flash
[06:38] <TomatoKetchup> I'm assuming that is what you mean.
[06:38] <violinappren> Saik:  any error messages when you boot a newer one?
[06:38] <oeeve> bazhang, aha got it! thanks guys;)
[06:38] <Jordan_U> Saik: What happens when you try to boot an Ubuntu 12.04 LiveCD?
[06:39] <Saik> Jordan_U, freezes at bootup
[06:39] <Jordan_U> Saik: Have you tried the nomodeset kernel parameter?
[06:39] <Jordan_U> !nomodeset | Saik
[06:41] <pp7> how do u set up copy-on-write using aufs or overlayfs?
[06:42] <Jordan_U> pp7: What is your end goal?
[06:43] <Saik> Jordan_U, I have no clue how to do that, but you've seen what this pc is. it should handle it without an issue
[06:43] <Jordan_U> Saik: See the link that ubottu sent you.
[06:43] <bazhang> Saik, there is a link, please read it
[06:43] <pp7> Jordan_U, to run any an app in an environment where i can delete all changes it made to disk
[06:44] <Jordan_U> pp7: Are you planning on making all of the root filesystem use this aufs overlay?
[06:45] <pp7> yes
[06:46] <moviebun> Has anyone tried Clonezilla with a hard drive containing Ubuntu 12.04? I have and it failed to create the image.
[06:46] <Jordan_U> pp7: Are you planning to reboot whenever you want to add or get rid of this overlay? Rolling back all changes to the root filesytem is likely to cause serious problems if you try to do it on a running system.
[06:46] <veebull> anyone here know how to get squid-deb-proxy *working* on 12.04?
[06:47] <pp7> Jordan_U, i will experiment first to figure the in's and out's of how it works, but first I just need to know how to do it
[06:47] <preetam> can anyone pls tell me after upgrading to ubuntu 12.04 my laptop does not go into the power off mode after shut down
[06:47] <veebull> or how to tell if it *is* working?
[06:49] <sabermonk> hi
[06:49] <sabermonk> i was trying to add a user to sudoers file
[06:50] <sabermonk> but i think i have made a mistake
[06:50] <sabermonk> now i m not able ti use sudo
[06:50] <sabermonk> it says parsing error on line 18 of sudoers file
[06:50] <sabermonk> how can i revert the changes?
[06:51] <Saik> the latest I have is 10.04
[06:51] <svg> sabermonk: did you use 'visudo' to edit the sudoers file?
[06:52] <Saik> would that be new enough?
[06:52] <sabermonk> svg: no i used vi
[06:54] <pp7> Jordan_U, still there?
[06:56] <DND> hi guys i need help. is there any program in ubuntu that can change the shown program per minute?
[06:56] <jpds> DND: Alt-Tab?
[06:57] <DND> like for example in advertisement tvs first you will see ad #1 then after 5 minutes you will see ad #2
[06:57] <DND> jpds, yes but i wanted to have it automated
[06:57] <jpds> That's a long TV ad.
[06:57] <DND> we wanted to show some live statistics but we are limited to a one 32" tv
[06:57] <DND> jpds, its just for an example :D
[06:58] <DND> you know when you go to malls you will see tvs that show ads
[06:58] <DND> but for us we wanted to have done on browsers
[07:01] <Jordan_U> pp7: do-release-upgrade does something like this, and seems to have an option to setup an aufs *chroot* which might be more what you want to do, see /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeAufs.py. Also, if you use btrfs then you can simply use snapshots and probably make your life a lot easier.
[07:01] <pp7> hmm
[07:02] <moviebun> Looks like I'll be sticking with 10.04 until I can find a way of backing up 12.04 entirely
[07:02] <DND> moviebun, DD?
[07:03] <pp7> Jordan_U, can u point me to a tutorial or something, preferably something that has a commandline example :P
[07:05] <Jordan_U> pp7: I doubt you're going to find one for aufs, it's more a tool meant to be used by those developing LiveCDs. For btrfs though you probably can find good guides, try asking in #btrfs.
[07:05] <linuxfreaker> Anyone who can help me with this http://askubuntu.com/questions/134147/running-ubuntu-on-uefi-mode
[07:06] <pp7> Jordan_U, thx
[07:06] <Jordan_U> pp7: You're welcome.
[07:06] <lorddelta> ...so...do I need gtk2 for anything?
[07:07] <lorddelta> Cause looks like I've got an old gtk theme that's screwing with plasma somehow...Ubuntu Unity doesn't work, I liked my KDE desktop anyhow...time to get rid of gtk2 apparently?
[07:07] <lorddelta> Or is there something I should know?
[07:09] <lorddelta> Also...there totally needs to be a way to google via cmd line.
[07:09] <lorddelta> (if there isn't already)
[07:11] <svg> sabermonk: You should have used visudo, it would have told you there was an error. You might try using it now to fix the issue, I'm not sure, but it might tell you what the problem is.
[07:11] <snapdata> Every time I start up Ubuntu (12.04) the first time I press enter (no matter what window I'm focused on, if any) it logs me out. When I log back in I can press enter without any hinderance. Any information related to this bug is greatly appreciated.
[07:12] <fidel> snapdata: does that happen only with 1 desktop-environment - or all?
[07:13] <snapdata> fidel: If you mean seperate accounts, I haven't created a second. I have however had to reinstall Ubuntu 12.04 twice and the same issue reappeared after a few restarts (without installing any additional software)
[07:13] <moviebun> DND: Will DD backup the entire drive in a cloning fashion or is it just for data from programs? What I'm after is the same level of restorability that Clonezilla gives me - an entire disk image that can be restored to a new drive.
[07:13] <fidel> snapdata: well basically i ment unity, gnome-shell ....
[07:14] <snapdata> fidel: I only use the default.
[07:18] <safridzal> i want a theme for my kubuntu which not blue, any suggestion ? just finished install kubuntu
[07:20] <ktwo> safridzal, kde-look.org
[07:21] <safridzal> ktwo: ah,, ok thanks
[07:21] <safridzal> :D
[07:26] <moviebun> Remastersys was great in 10.04 - anyone using it in 12.04?
[07:29] <none> 12.04 is still quirky
[07:29] <none> looks pretty though
[07:31] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: u there?
[07:31] <chris__> yup
[07:36] <wifioregon> Could some please tell me the best way to record desktop from 12.04?
[07:36] <linuxfreaker> Anyone who tried this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareEnablementTeam/Documentation/FirmwareTestS uiteLive
[07:36] <wifioregon> I want to record everything I do on my desktop into a video
[07:39] <sary> wifioregon: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4428/how-to-create-a-screencast https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts
[07:39] <popey> wifioregon: I would use kazam
[07:42] <linuxfreaker> Anyone who can help me with UEFI on Ubuntu 11.04
[07:42] <linuxfreaker> sorry 10.04
[07:42] <linuxfreaker> How shall I upgrade GRUB to 1.99
[07:44] <wilee-nilee> linuxfreaker, I can not help other then to say 11.04 is grub 2 it wont matter which version.
[07:44] <Oer> linuxfreaker, easy howto >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Upgrading
[07:45] <linuxfreaker> wilee-nilee: But if it is grub2 even then UEFI is not working..any idea
[07:45] <wilee-nilee> Oer, they are using grub 2 already unless the downloaded.
[07:46] <linuxfreaker> Oer: The main issue is how shall I make 11.04 work on UEFI ..ubuntu quotes it as it supports UEFI
[07:46] <wilee-nilee> linuxfreaker, if it was a mbr set up I could, but not a UEFI, I would post at the ubuntu forums, your getting sketchy help as of now here.
[07:46] <linuxfreaker> Oer: I am not finding help anywhere
[07:47] <wilee-nilee> linuxfreaker, you would at times on here start a thread at the ubuntu forum.
[07:49] <wilee-nilee> linuxfreaker, if you decide to post there, there is a specific script you would want to run to generate a text file to post in your thread.
[07:50] <Woet> i'm installing 10.04 LTS and I get 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed
[07:50] <Woet> console says "auto-detection of a file system module failed"
[07:50] <Woet> software RAID 1
[07:52] <Satisfied> i made it through a tenth of ripping my cd (150 so far) and realized this POS "ripper x" program isn't / cant write mp3 meta data to the files.    I would love to use Grip but apparently its a dead project.. anybody have a suggestion for a full featured cd ripping program?
[07:52] <Satisfied> sad thing is "Ripper x" has good reviews in the software center
[07:54] <bioman> hello :)
[07:56] <linuxman> hi, i have a problem
[07:56] <Woet> let's hope you get it solved
[07:56] <larsweb> really?
[07:56] <larsweb> really? ;-)
[07:57] <bioman> Have to install a DRBL with 12.04 server. Got some problems with networking. service networking status says "stop/waiting" but it works. Infact I have set a second network card (eth0:1). Since this I have "Waiting for network configuration" at boot. What's going on please ?
[07:59] <linuxman> when i copy some big file from ntfs file system system load goes up to 3 and then the computer restart
[08:01] <linuxman> i used top and it shows that mount.ntfs process uses up to 14% of cpu
[08:01] <linuxman> it's a core i7 960 as far as i know
[08:01] <Woet> linuxman: and why does your computer restart?
[08:02] <linuxman> i don't know. i think it's because of it's load average, which is go up to 3.3 and then it restarts
[08:02] <Woet> computers dont restart because of load average
[08:02] <Woet> they restart because there is a hardware issue or the temperature gets too high
[08:03] <linuxman> how can i check it's temperature
[08:03] <Woet> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780
[08:04] <Woet> as far as I know, point 2 is not needed
[08:04] <ewikbog> I have this current situation: Need to RAID0 some disks and have uefi bios. Problem is; Graphic install doesn’t have software RAID and alternative does not  have UEFI bios partition support. WTH should I do? ubuntu 12.04 alpha1 worked fine!
[08:04] <bo> Hello all. I have some issues while building Perl from source. Is there anybody who can give some help here? I'm talking about installing perl-5.14.2 on xubuntu 12.04.
[08:05] <Woet> ewikbog: there is no more text based installer?
[08:05] <Woet> bo: no, there is nobody here who can give you help unless you ask your question.
[08:05] <none> text based installer never breaks
[08:05] <none> graphic based crap always breaks somehow
[08:05] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: Are you able to run ubuntu on uefi mode
[08:05] <Woet> i'm not up to date with 12.04 but if it has a text installer, use it.
[08:05] <ewikbog> linuxfreaker: yes in alpha1 yes
[08:06] <ewikbog> Woet: Alternative is text-based
[08:06] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: I tried installing ubuntu 11.10 on dell server on UEFI mode but it is just dislaying GRUB menu and goes blank
[08:06] <Woet> ewikbog: but why alternative? why not the default text based installer?
[08:06] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: Any idea how to fix that?
[08:07] <ewikbog> Woet, linuxfreaker: I've tried alternative and graphic, none seems to have like the previous
[08:07] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: Which hardware u r on?
[08:08] <Woet> ewikbog: but why alternative? why not the default text based installer?
[08:08] <ewikbog> linuxfreaker: pretty new, x79 asus, 3 ssd PCI-e (requires 3.2.0 kernel)
[08:09] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: Are you able to install ubuntu selecting UEFI mode?
[08:09] <ewikbog> yes, in graphical mode yes
[08:09] <ubuntuppuser> I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. The p key on my keyboard is broken and I'd like to use another key as my p key. How can this be done?
[08:09] <ewikbog> linuxfreaker: in grapical yes, but does not support raid
[08:10] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: You mean it is not detecting hard disk right?
[08:10] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: use xmodmap
[08:10] <ubuntuppuser> Hoyt: Can you tell me how to use it?
[08:10] <ewikbog> linuxfreaker: its detecting the disks, but i need to raid0 9pcs of 60gb's
[08:11] <BlueEagle> ubuntuppuser: in a terminal type: man xmodmap
[08:11] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: Ohk...
[08:11] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: first , find out the key code you want to replace with , and to
[08:11] <ewikbog> linuxfreaker: dont ask, pci-e ssd's are strange
[08:11] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: In my case I have dell r620 and its even not able to proceed next step after GRUB
[08:11] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: use xev to do that
[08:11] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: UEFI is not at all supported
[08:12] <ubuntuppuser> Hoyt: Sorry, but I'm new to all this. How do I "use xev" to do that?
[08:12] <Threeseas> 12.04 sound is screwed and going through the launchpad registration doesn't allow using forwarded mail
[08:12] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: install it with apt-get install xev
[08:12] <stiv2k> what does ubuntu use for remote desktop sharing?
[08:12] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: and launch it in terminal , press the key , you'll see the corresponding key code , remember them
[08:13] <ubuntuppuser> Hoyt: Unable to locate package xev
[08:13] <Threeseas> How many more versions before Ubuntu figures out ho0w to do sound?
[08:13] <ubuntuppuser> Hoyt: How do I press the key if it's broken?
[08:13] <ewikbog> linuxfreaker:  i've succesfully installed ubuntu 12.04 alpha1 on a system with uefi
[08:13] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: type 'xev' , see what the output is
[08:14] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: it will tell you the package to install
[08:14] <ewikbog> linuxfreaker: keep in mind that grub does not support a partition smaller than raid0
[08:14] <llutz_> xev comes with x11-utils
[08:14] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: i think the key code are adjacent , e.g 'o' and 'p' s
[08:14] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: I am not able to do that on Dell hardware..I wonder what could be the issue
[08:14] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: not sure
[08:14] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: What does that mean? grub does not support a partition smaller than raid0
[08:15] <ubuntuppuser> Hoyt: 'xev' just shows me a bunch of text.
[08:15] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: I have just one disk..
[08:15] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: And I have made it RAID 0
[08:15] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: Sorry I have two disks
[08:15] <ewikbog> linuxfreaker: if /boot is located on a raid0 partition it will probably fail!
[08:15] <Threeseas> its not good to upgrade and face the same sort of problems but different enough where its a new thing
[08:15] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: I dont have anything installed on that hardware
[08:16] <BlueEagle> ubuntuppuser: You don't need the keycode for the broken key, just the one you alter the function of.
[08:16] <ubuntuppuser> BlueEagle: Ah, got it.
[08:17] <branant> #android-central
[08:17] <branant> oops /j was missing
[08:17] <ubuntuppuser> Hoyt: Please help.
[08:17] <ikonia> linuxfreaker: did you want me ?
[08:17] <ewikbog> linuxfreaker: as i said; if you have joined two disks with raid0, and have /boot in that /dev/md0 then grub will fail http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1880527
[08:17] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: I need your help or suggestion
[08:17] <ikonia> linuxfreaker: with what ?
[08:17] <bioman> please tell me why "service networking status" returns "networking stop/waiting"
[08:18] <BlueEagle> ubuntuppuser: Did you read the manual page? If you stil need help please be more spesific with what you need help with.
[08:18] <linuxfreaker> ewikbog: I have no OS..nothing on the RAID..this is the first time I am going to install Ubuntu on fresh RAID disk..
[08:18] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: the same old issue
[08:18] <stiv2k> i need xrdp to connect from windows 7?
[08:18] <ubuntuppuser> BlueEagle: It's like a whole new language to me. I don't even know what the first step is.
[08:18] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: ubuntu on UEFI mode
[08:18] <ikonia> linuxfreaker: you need to be specific - what do you want help with
[08:18] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: http://askubuntu.com/questions/134147/running-ubuntu-on-uefi-mode
[08:19] <ikonia> linuxfreaker: don't want to read a thread - what do you want help with
[08:19] <linuxfreaker> ikonia: I am unable to install Ubuntu 11.10 on uEFI mode
[08:20] <ewikbog> linuxfreaker: you need a /boot/efi partion!
[08:20] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: sorry , i'm setting up my arch linux
[08:20] <panesar_sandeep> hi i am having a problem in ubuntu 12.04 desktop edition installed on my lenovo g460. its usb points are not detecting anything connected via usb. during start up too it sort of hangs in there. then when i press Esc and then in cui i press Ctrl+Alt+Del it says sopmething about system bus failure and then continues booting.
[08:20] <ikonia> linuxfreaker: ok - you said earlier you where using raid on this machine (reading hte scroll back) correct/not
[08:20] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: let me find an example for you
[08:20] <BlueEagle> ubuntuppuser: The first step is to learn how to read the manual I guess. If you check the heading "Synopsis" you will see how the command is executed `xmodmap [-options ...] [filname]` with a description that sais that the file name is a given file with the changes.
[08:20] <ubuntuppuser> Hoyt: Thanks.
[08:21] <ubuntuppuser> BlueEagle: Hold on...
[08:21] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: maybe there's some GUI tools
[08:21] <BlueEagle> ubuntuppuser: Now if you check the options you will find that -e allows you to directly execute an expression. Also check the examples for example expressions.
[08:21] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: xkeycaps
[08:21] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: is this available in Ubuntu ?
[08:21] <ubuntuppuser> BlueEagle: Trying to read. Give me a minute or two.
[08:21] <BlueEagle> !info xkeycaps | hoyt
[08:22] <ewikbog> Woet linuxfreaker: i've solved it, use a daily build of ubuntu
[08:22] <BlueEagle> ubuntuppuser: Yeah, using Hoyts suggestion will allow you to achieve what you want without understanding how it's done. :)
[08:22] <lorddelta> So call me flippant, but anyhow I decided to give Unity another go...
[08:22] <lorddelta> however...
[08:22] <BlueEagle> !enter | lorddelta
[08:23] <ubuntuppuser> Hoyt: BlueEagle: And xkeycaps is already installed?
[08:23] <panesar_sandeep> hi i am having a problem in ubuntu 12.04 desktop edition installed on my lenovo g460. its usb points are not detecting anything connected via usb. during start up too it sort of hangs in there. then when i press Esc and then in cui i press Ctrl+Alt+Del it says sopmething about system bus failure and then continues booting. pls help.
[08:23] <BlueEagle> ubuntuppuser: Most likely not: apt-get install xkeycaps
[08:23] <lorddelta> I uninstalled all the gtk stuff in attempt to figure out what was going wrong, turns out I had some old bad libraries in /usr/local, deleted those, been re-installing stuff and stuff works again. Only, I can seem to get Unity window decorations to show up. Ideas? I have mutter installed...
[08:24] <Hoyt> panesar_sandeep: most likely there's no enough room in /run/ , not sure
[08:24] <BlueEagle> panesar_sandeep: It would help if you told us what that "something about system bus failure" was exactly. You see when developers write error messages they usually write them to help pinpoint the root cause.
[08:24] <panesar_sandeep> hoyt: there is lots of space. almost 150 Gb space is there
[08:25] <Hoyt> panesar_sandeep: last time I saw chromium quits because of bus failure , was caused by that.. also it's a ramdisk , not your HDD partition ...
[08:25] <ubuntuppuser> BlueEagle: Installation finished, but xkeycaps is nowhere to be found...
[08:25] <lorddelta> BlueEagle: sorry, its late. Question still stands
[08:26] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: press "Win" key , and type in the command in unity , and press "Enter"
[08:26] <ubuntuppuser> Hoyt: Yes, that's what I tried.
[08:28] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: launch gnome-terminal ,
[08:28] <BlueEagle> lorddelta: The easiest way to restore the system is to install ubuntu-desktop (or ubuntu-standard) as it depends on all packages that make up the ubuntu desktop system.
[08:28] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: and ty9e in the command
[08:28] <ubuntuppuser> Hoyt: What command?
[08:28] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: xkeyca9s
[08:28] <lorddelta> BlueEagle: Good point. I'll look at its dependencies. :)
[08:28] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: oo9s , my keyboard ma99ing is corru9ted
[08:28] <ubuntuppuser> Hoyt: That worked.
[08:28] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: will be back
[08:28] <BlueEagle> Hoyt: Did you change your p for a 9?
[08:29] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: and right click on the key you want to 'exchange' ,
[08:31] <ubuntuppuser> Hoyt: BlueEagle: What is a good key to sacrifice?
[08:32] <ubuntuppuser> Some key near p.
[08:32] <Hoyt> ubuntuppuser: maybe scroll lock
[08:33] <Hoyt> i made capslock another ctrl all the time
[08:33] <ubuntuppuser> Maybe alt+o can be p?
[08:34] <BlueEagle> ubuntuppuser: You will have to decide that all by yourself.
[08:34] <KM0201> whats the key combination to kill X now?
[08:34] <Hoyt> KM0201: there's no default key combination set
[08:34]  * KM0201 wishes it was still ctrl alt backspace
[08:34] <KM0201> Hoyt: really?
