[00:00] <ActionParsnip> chriswere: does nvidia-settings say you are using the later driver?
[00:00] <brightsparks> Ok off  to reboot.  I put together a desktop and I think I put the power and hd led's with incorrect + and -... can that blow the led's?
[00:00] <phunyguy> ActionParsnip, it is a best-effort scenario, but officially not supported (AFAIK)
[00:00] <chriswere> ActionParsnip: Yes
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> d00durk00l: its the same type of LED so I wouldn't worry. Suprised ou even attached those
[00:00] <phunyguy> my impression is, if it's not ubuntu standard - then its not supported
[00:00] <Dr_willis> d00durk00l,  you mean the led conectors to the MB? 2 wires?
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> chriswere: great, setup the display
[00:01] <uberTaco> phunyguy: I think he means he switched pos and neg/ground wires
[00:01] <phunyguy> it is community supported, but not ubuntu-supported
[00:01] <chriswere> ActionParsnip: dnoe
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> phunyguy: if the package is in the repos, its supported.
[00:01] <d00durk00l> yup motherboard led's
[00:01] <k1l_> phunyguy: its in the repos, its supported
[00:01] <Dr_willis> phunyguy,  I think you missunderstand.
[00:01] <phunyguy> possibly.
[00:01] <phunyguy> thanks
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> phunyguy: the OS is flexible as users have choice
[00:01] <d00durk00l> sorry case led's attach to the motherboard
[00:01] <phunyguy> I must have been told different
[00:01] <phunyguy> my mistake
[00:02] <d00durk00l> ActionParsnip: What you mean same type of led's?
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> phunyguy: its cool
[00:02] <usr13> nannes: Are you wanting to change the background image on the login screen?  Or desktop background?
[00:02] <nannes> usr13: on the login screen :)
[00:02] <chriswere> ActionParsnip: Gnome 3d is still no-wehere to be found
[00:02] <k1l_> nannes: there should be alot of howtos from the days were gdm was the standard. did you try these?
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> d00durk00l: look at the LEDs, they will be the same, so one flashing instead of another doesn't matter
[00:02] <usr13> nannes: Oh, ok.
[00:02] <blahdyblahblah> nannes: dconf-editor
[00:02] <nannes> k1l_: they're all old, didn't try
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> chriswere: you may need an xorg.conf and go old school
[00:03] <k1l_> nannes: old doesnt mean that the dont work
[00:03] <d00durk00l> ActionParsnip: No my question is that I attached them + to the - and the negative to the positive on both ... Just wondering if that could have burned them out
[00:03] <k1l_> nannes: there hardly wont be new, because lightdm is standard now
[00:03] <TJ-> chriswere: With 2 GPUs X can't do opengl acceleration across a shared desktop since the GPUs memories are separate.  Also, it has problems with 2 GPUs unless you run separate X sessions on them
[00:03] <chriswere> ActionParsnip: I'm not doing that, every single time you guys have told me to do that, you've caused me to break X.
[00:03] <d00durk00l> They are not working but I am wondering if that is the prob or they cable harness has issues
[00:03] <chriswere> TJ- Okay, what about on a shared GPU?
[00:04] <TJ-> chriswere: With a single GPU, multi-monitors will work 'out of the box' for most popular GPUs
[00:04] <d00durk00l> TJ-: isn't there a way to take advantage of multip gpu's to use for password cracking and the such?
[00:04] <nannes> k1l_: LightDM too is a bull**** ...   I don't know why devs put the hands where they shouldn't.    Linux must be free and totally customizable , and ubuntu's lightdm isn't that waY!!!
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> chriswere: thats all I can suggest
[00:04] <chriswere> TJ-: Okay thanks for that advice. Do you know where I could find a good guide on how to get 2 seperate x sessions working on 2 different GPUs?
[00:05] <TJ-> d00durk00l: It'd be easier to just tickle it out of the owner!
[00:05] <k1l_> nannes: that is way offtopic.
[00:05] <TJ-> chriswere: Are the GPUs from the same maker?
[00:05] <chriswere> TJ- yeah both nvidia
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> nannes: tried ubuntu-tweak and you can configure lightdm easily
[00:05] <TJ-> chriswere: With the Nvidia proprietary drivers installed, the "Nvidia X Settings" application should make configuring them straightforward for you
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> nannes: have you tried that?
[00:06] <usr13> nannes: Try xfce
[00:06] <k1l_> nannes: but you are telling me, that you demand newest howtos for not-standard software? i dont see your problem here
[00:06] <d00durk00l> TJ-: So it is difficult?
[00:06] <nannes> ActionParsnip: I cannot even do a simple thing such moving userbox to the center. Even with ubuntu-tweak
[00:06] <TJ-> d00durk00l: is what difficult?
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> nannes: then use a different DM, you don'y have to use lightdm
[00:06] <d00durk00l> TJ-: I was actually going to try to set it up on ubuntu server .... do you have any experience with it?
[00:06] <chriswere> TJ-: Yeah I know this, trust me I've been working on this all day. I'm down a whole days pay because of this. I havn't had much luck working out how to get 2 sessions working without xinelerra though
[00:07] <nannes> ActionParsnip: indeed, I was asking for help with GDM!  :P?
[00:07] <nannes> :P
[00:07] <k1l_> nannes: no
[00:07] <d00durk00l> TJ-: Setting up 2 gpu's for password cracking
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> nannes: then you can ask in #gnome or see what there is online
[00:07] <k1l_> nannes: you were demanding brand new how tos for gdm :/
[00:07] <k1l_> ActionParsnip: he was given some howto, but declined because "its old"
[00:07] <TJ-> chriswere: I've been running multi monitors on Nvidia since 2005 ... there's some glitches on occasion in development but I've not had too many issues with configuring them
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> nannes: what is it you actually want to achieve?
[00:07] <nannes> k1l_: Those howtos were written in the Lucid period  lol
[00:07] <chriswere> ActionParsnip: Is there an easy way do undo the PPA crap you asked me to do, I can't get my old resalution back?
[00:08] <battlehands> when I attempt to run: sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.15.so /lib64/libc.so.6 on my netbook it says "failed to create symbolic link"
[00:08] <blahdyblahblah> nannes: Already told you. All that stuff is controlled with dconf, gsettings, etc.. This should give you an idea maybe: http://smashingweb.info/change-the-background-of-gnome-3-gdm-login-screen/
[00:08] <k1l_> nannes: and where is the problem?
[00:08] <nannes> ActionParsnip: move whatever I want wherever I want
[00:08] <k1l_> nannes: doenst it work anymore?
[00:08] <nannes> total customization
[00:08] <d00durk00l> TJ-: Using open-cl
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> chriswere: install ppa-purge and use the same PPA address as you added
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> nannes: so, move the login box?
[00:08] <nannes> yes, too
[00:08] <brightsparks> Dr_willis: well that seemed to work very. And thank you I will be using that method to install the nvidia driver in future. THanks v much.
[00:08] <TJ-> d00durk00l: Why would you do that? If the passwords are complex even GPU acceleration isn't going to help.. except for warming up the server
[00:08] <blahdyblahblah> nannes: Just use the tools that come with gnome3. All the third party apps pretty much just interface with thoise anyways
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> nannes: then why didn't you say that....?
[00:09] <chriswere> TJ- everyone says that, why am I finding just about every bug ubuntu has to offer?
[00:09] <nannes> ActionParsnip: I already said that. Or better, I said that's not possible cause I've already searched for it
[00:09] <k1l_> nannes: the old howtos arent outdated. so go with that
[00:09] <d00durk00l> TJ-: Well most are not complex enough to heat up a server
[00:09] <nannes> (talking about lightdm)
[00:09] <TJ-> chriswere: maybe you're blessed :p ... still, it's nice to hear that someone's taken over my role :p
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> nannes: i don't get why you are making a deal about this, its on the screen for about 4 seconds....
[00:10] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Mine only lasts about 2
[00:10] <chriswere> TJ-: How do I work 2 X sessions without xinelerra?
[00:10] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: +1
[00:10] <usr13> ActionParsnip: I like a short fuse.
[00:10] <nannes> ActionParsnip: If we all think that way, we would leave DesktopEnvironments as they already are. NO, instead we customize them as we want.  And lightdm allows that, but I don't really know why ubuntu locks it
[00:10] <uberTaco> nannes: dude, I think a lot of people have already given you what you're looking for
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> nannes: its something massively trivial, have yuo nothing better to do?
[00:10] <k1l_> !ot | nannes
[00:11] <uberTaco> before you say "too old, doesn't work", try it out first to see if it does or does not work
[00:11] <nannes> ActionParsnip: Read again what I wrote
[00:11]  * nannes is trying
[00:11] <zoktar> anyone compiling wine from git, with ubuntu 12.04.1 64-bit ?, im having "conflicts" with multiarch libfreetype6-dev libfreetype6-dev:i386, http://pastebin.com/e804BiR6
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> nannes: have you asked in #gnome ?
[00:12] <TJ-> zoktar: Some library packages havent been completed separate as yet, I'm afraid
[00:12] <Nisstyre> zoktar: may want to ask #winehq
[00:12] <uberTaco> if you're savvy enough to have replaced lightdm with gdm, you are likely savvy enough to know that the same version of software doesn't change itself. :)
[00:13] <zoktar> yeah thanks
[00:14] <zykotick9> nannes: ubuntu is about "not-customizing"... now anyways.  it was #1 on distro-watch when it was a user friendly debian.  now it's #3 with it's "developer's know best" attitude... hummm?
[00:14] <nannes> uberTaco: Ye, I was just a bit confused, cause I'd prefer lightDM, if ubuntu just weren't locking it
[00:15] <uberTaco> zykotick9: I'd say that's not strictly true
[00:15] <uberTaco> zykotick9: You may be blaming a lot of GNOME3 on ubuntu, which is not terribly fair. :)
[00:15] <nannes> zykotick9: ahahah I don't have intention to start this such talks.  :P
[00:16] <SlvrS3> if i have a system with ubuntu installed, password protected, how can i get it to boot from disk ?
[00:16] <k1l_> zykotick9: uberTaco #ubuntu-offtopic / #ubuntu-discuss ?
[00:16] <uberTaco> chriswere: explore! Try some other distros!  I've been here all day trying to find a simple fix and you guys have done nothing but make it all worse, admittedly with good intentions.
[00:17] <SlvrS3> ActionParsnip, i want to format the HD and reinstall win XP pro
[00:17] <SlvrS3> xp pro disk
[00:17] <uberTaco> SlvrS3: that's gonna be a setting in your BIOS
[00:18] <uberTaco> SlvrS3: how you access your BIOS depends on your machine, but the one thing that's pretty consistent is that you have to reboot the computer to get into the BIOS.
[00:18] <chriswere> My gnome install now wants to create a new set of panels as well as the existing ones every time I log in. Why is this?
[00:18] <k1l_> nannes: if there were no .conf files just make them.
[00:19] <nannes> k1l_: No, I bet they're just anywhere else. Cause ubuntu also change configuration-file's names ;)
[00:19] <nannes> lol
[00:19] <k1l_> nannes: alot of stuff gets automatic configuration and doesnt need .conf files as long as the user doesnt want to change smth
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> SlvrS3: then ask in ##windows
[00:19] <franklin_> hola
[00:19] <nannes> I think so because they say to uncomment/modify a line, k1l_
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> SlvrS3: The install CD can delete the Ubuntu partitions
[00:19] <franklin_> venezuela
[00:19] <nannes> a line of a not-existent file
[00:20] <franklin_> hola
[00:20] <i7c> !es
[00:20] <chriswere> sorry about that guys, ubuntu crashed, were one of you guys going to help me?
[00:20] <k1l_> SlvrS3: password protecion on bios state is not a ubuntu issue
[00:20] <SlvrS3> it would be easier to just remove the HD, and format it through my main tower ?, ActionParsnip
[00:20] <nannes> If I just find the image, I replace it :/
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> SlvrS3: why bother, the XP CD can sort out the partitioning
[00:21] <jhansonxi> chriswere: I've seen that with non-Xinerama dual-head (Zaphod mode) multi-monitor configurations.
[00:22] <chriswere> jhansonxi: how does one fix this?
[00:22] <uberTaco> SlvrS3: nah, probably not -- I'd google your laptop make and model and "BIOS" or "boot from CD"
[00:23] <SlvrS3> uberTaco, its a dell tower
[00:23] <SlvrS3> but i will
[00:23] <red__> Hi
[00:24] <jhansonxi> chriswere: I didn't find a solution.  I'm using gnome-fallback in normal xinerama mode (Ubuntu 12.04) but am planning to use XFCE since it works in zaphod mode.
[00:24] <red__> hi
[00:24] <k1l_> SlvrS3: look into the manuals what to press to get a boot selection.
[00:25] <red__> can i boot a mac from a live usb pen?
[00:25] <chriswere> jhansonxi: as if i needed another reason why linux is more diffuclt than it needs to be. Would you also recomend switching to xfce? I'm not sure how to use a zaphod set up, are there any guides?
[00:26] <red__> usb pen being ubuntu
[00:26] <jhansonxi> chriswere: XFCE seems better than gnome-fallback (which is old Gnome 2 updated for GTK3).
[00:27] <chriswere> jhansonxi: i've found a lot of bugs in xfce
[00:27] <mrojas6996> hello! i have a recomendation
[00:27] <MonkeyDust> I'm happy with fallback, didnt ike xfce
[00:27] <MonkeyDust> like*
[00:28] <red__> question can i use ubuntu one on mac from a live disk?
[00:28] <chriswere> jhansonxi: how do I get a window on screen 2 in Zaphos mode?
[00:28] <uberTaco> chriswere: KDE is quite a different animal from GNOME and XFCE, but it does work better (in my experience) with multiple monitors
[00:28] <jhansonxi> chriswere:   With my AMD card and the buggy fglrx driver (random "ASIC hang happened" lockups with X.org), the Catalyst Control Center calls it "Multi-display desktop"
[00:28] <uberTaco> chriswere: might be worth a shot -- easiest way is to grab a Kubuntu live disc
[00:28] <mrojas6996> I'm tired of Lubuntu, and i have to try with Xubuntu, but i have to know what version is stable and free from erros
[00:28] <mrojas6996> *errors
[00:29] <jhansonxi> chriswere: When Zaphod mode is actually working (XFCE), you configure a second set of panels on the other display along with an applications menu.  Apps can't be dragged from one screen to the next but the clipboard still works.
[00:29] <SlvrS3> uberTaco, when i enter bios, it wants me to enter password
[00:30] <blackshirt> that bios passworded
[00:30] <h22turbo> mrojas6996: just install 12.04 LTS (from live CD... not DVD) and use gnome fallback
[00:30] <red__> will ubuntu one work from a live disk???
[00:30] <SlvrS3> blackshirt, way around ?
[00:30] <jhansonxi> chriswere: I use Zaphod mode because full-screen games can't take over both displays.  I can still monitor my browser/email/IM on the other display.  Works well with Wine.
[00:30] <k1l_> SlvrS3: contact dell. that is not a ubuntu problem
[00:30] <mrojas6996> Thanks h22turbo!
[00:31] <chriswere> xjhansonxi: stupid question, how do i create a panel in gnome fallback?
[00:31] <blackshirt> slvrs3, i think you have setup a password for your password
[00:31] <blackshirt> I mean for your bios
[00:31] <h22turbo> SlvrS3: u can clear the bios password... search around, its easy. usually a jumper on motherboard will clear it
[00:32] <SlvrS3> someone mentioned jumpers h22turbo, was unable to locate on the sys board
[00:33] <h22turbo> SlvrS3: im sure a google search of Dell (your model #) clear BIOS password will tell you how
[00:33] <jhansonxi> chriswere: <logo key><alt><right or left mouse click on existing panel>
[00:34] <compdoc> which version of unity is included in 12.04.1 ?
[00:34] <jhansonxi> chriswere: (Gnome is all about being intuitive :D )
[00:35] <chriswere> jhanonxi: any ideas how I might move it to my 2nd screen, I can't work out a way to do that?
[00:36] <jhansonxi> chriswere: I don't think it is possible in gnome-fallback (at least not with the version in Ubuntu 12.04), and gnome-fallback doesn't work properly with zaphod (non-xinerama) mode.  All kinds of bad behavior happens.
[00:37] <chriswere> jahnsonxi: okay, I'm gonna call it a night now it's 1:37 here in the UK. But I think I'll check out xubuntu in the morning. Thanks so much to you and all the other chaps for being far more patient with me than i deserved.
[00:38] <jhansonxi> chriswere: You may have better luck with Xubuntu 12.04 or the Linux Mint XFCE version (Cinnamon, Gnome 3, Unity, and Gnome-fallback all have problems with zaphod mode).  Or you could just use normal Xinerama mode with a wide desktop split across multiple monitors.
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> chriswere: UK here too dude :)
[00:39] <chriswere> xinelerra has it's own problems, like not knowing what screen size to play full screen youtube videos at and so on
[00:39] <mrojas6996> Ah! i have another question, ¿how is the work of Xubuntu with old printers of 1980-1996?
[00:40] <chriswere> :) ActionParsnip thanks for your help and patience too. I'm too tired for this, lol
[00:40] <mrojas6996> for example: Epson LX-810L with Centronics-to-USB adapter cable
[00:41] <jhansonxi> mrojas6996: The desktop environment doesn't matter (Gnome, Unity, XFCE, KDE, etc.)  All that matters is if CUPS supports it and the various driver packages are installed.
[00:42] <jhansonxi>  mrojas6996: The adapter needs to be supported by the Linux kernel.  CUPS needs to support the printer.  Tip: you can access CUPS on your system with a web browser by going to http://localhost:631
[00:43] <mrojas6996> jhansonxi: The fact is, the printer work so fine with test pages, but with libreoffice and text, the printer work terrible
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> jhansonxi: Unity isnt a desktop environment ;)
[00:45] <jhansonxi> mrojas6996: Could be a bug in the driver or an incompatible setting in the applications you are printing from.
[00:46] <new2ubuntu> hi all
[00:46] <jhansonxi>  mrojas6996: Check through the Ubuntu CUPS bug reports to see if anyone else encountered the problem with a similar printer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups?orderby=-id&start=0
[00:46] <new2ubuntu> What is this default keyring that keeps asking for my password when I log in? anybody know? This is ubuntu 12.04
[00:46] <mrojas6996> jhansonxi: ok, i will check it
[00:47] <rypervenche> new2ubuntu: You can just choose to not use a password.
[00:47] <Deutopia> it is for Single Sign On purposes. its to remember password and to keep your information safe
[00:47] <mrojas6996> thanks for your patience :)
[00:47] <k1l_> new2ubuntu: maybe the wifi login that needs the wifi password

[00:53] <violinappren> Curiosoud: wrong channel
[00:53] <jhansonxi> new2ubuntu: If you are referring to applications that start when the desktop loads, the answer is that it depends on the desktop environment.  With gnome-fallback they are configured by Applications > System Tools > Preferences > Startup Applications.
[00:54] <violinappren> jhansonxi: no, his original question (as far as i can see) was to how to get rid of this prompt

[01:19] <Relondo> So, this is probably quite far-fetched, but would it be possible to convert an Ubuntu install into one of its derivatives, like Mint, since they are so close?
[01:20] <zykotick9> Relondo: they aren't "close".  no.
[01:20] <Cong> Mint sucks!
[01:20] <violinappren> benq: add 'u' at the end of the command to show all udp ports as well, i think VNC uses UDP ..
[01:20] <uberTaco> Relondo: theoretically, it should be possible
[01:21] <uberTaco> Relondo: but it'd be waaaaaaay not worth the monumental amount of trouble
[01:21] <uberTaco> Relondo: easier to do a fresh install of the desired derivative
[01:21] <zykotick9> uberTaco: actually, mixing distros is insanity.  but believe what you want.
[01:21] <violinappren> Relondo: if that derivative  supports it, or you're an expert in both repository layouts ...
[01:21] <benq> ok
[01:22] <benq> netstat -plntu
[01:22] <benq> it is
[01:23] <violinappren> benq: yes
[01:23] <sin_tax> can anyone suggest a good media-aggregating DLNA server / transcoding app for Ubuntu?
[01:24] <andrewx> If I want to execute a Bash script at startup, how would I set that up, please?
[01:24] <tortib> has anyone setup openvpn to use with android before?
[01:24] <Cong> How come I can download a package and archive manger just works with it?
[01:24] <sin_tax> Plex has been giving me headaches with my DLNA clients.
[01:24] <violinappren> andrewx: in boot sequence or after you log in ?
[01:24] <blackshirt> cong, just install
[01:25] <white_magic> can someone help me figure out why i cannot hear any sounds on my laptop, even though the drivers seem to be properly installed. I'm running ubuntu 12.04 x64 and the laptop is aspire 4830T-6678
[01:25] <andrewx> right after logging in is fine...
[01:25] <andrewx> automatically
[01:25] <Cong> Are the archive formats hard coded in to archive manager?
[01:25] <tortib> I keep getting ifconfig failed could not execute external program when connecting from the android phone.
[01:25] <violinappren> andrewx: add an entry in "startup applications".. search for that in the dash/application list
[01:25] <tortib> the openvpn server is setup already on the ubuntu machine
[01:26] <violinappren> Cong: nope, support is added/remove as you install the respective packages
[01:26] <cyphase> ah yea, 11.04 is end-of-life soon
[01:26] <cyphase> i guess i should switch.. this is the longest by far i've ever stayed on one version
[01:26] <CompuTom> please help setting up printer on 12.04LTS
[01:27] <white_magic> can someone help me figure out why i cannot hear any sounds on my laptop, even though the drivers seem to be properly installed. I'm running ubuntu 12.04 x64 and the laptop is aspire 4830T-6678
[01:27] <violinappren> Cong: what are you trying to achieve ?
[01:27] <violinappren> !sound | white_magic
[01:27] <andrewx> I'm not sure where.what that is, sorry.
[01:27] <bluphenix316> hey i'm having a rather difficult problem. I tried to install ubuntu 12.04.1 on my mother's computer to show her its much better than windows and now i'm having a issue with her wireless connection. It is a RTL8188CE and it connects and works fine on initial boot of the system but after being connected a while the connect will drop and it acts like its connecting but asks for the password and
[01:27] <bluphenix316> can't connect, even if its sitting right infront of the wireless router
[01:28] <violinappren> andrewx: the thing that pops up when you press the win logo key or click the top left corner.. search in that for "startup"
[01:28] <bluphenix316> the only fix so far is to reboot the computer
[01:28] <benq> friend, my pc show a error in the desktop when on
[01:28] <CompuTom> have a HP multifunction connected parallel. when I print a test page tries to fax.
[01:28] <benq> do you want help me
[01:28] <violinappren> benq: what's the error? write the text or take a screenshot
[01:29] <violinappren> !screenshot | benq
[01:29] <benq> ok
[01:29] <benq> but i kill whit xkill
[01:29] <benq> i need reboot my pc to show again
[01:29] <tortib> can someone help me with openvpn and android?  I'm not able to connect from my android phone here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210131/
[01:29] <bluphenix316> one thing i have noticed is, if i do a lsmod it shows rtl8129ce driver but not rtl8188ce but if i do a lspci it shows rtl8188ce device
[01:29] <bluphenix316> i think its loading the wrong driver maybe?
[01:30] <Cong> p7zip package, that's the package I need for filer-roller to work with 7zip formats. I don't understand how it just works. These packages aren't specifically for filer-roller are they?
[01:30] <Relondo> ubertaco: Ah.  You just install the proper binaries and it uses them
[01:31] <k1l_> Cong: fileroller is just a gui program to the cli versions rar, p7 etc
[01:31] <Dr_willis> !7zip
[01:31] <violinappren> Cong: sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
[01:31] <Dr_willis> !info unp
[01:32] <bluphenix316> is my issue a common thing that i should just RTFM or do a search?
[01:32] <violinappren> bluphenix316: pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C network
[01:32] <Salman> W4sp: finally got sound working :D
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> Cong: install p7zip-full p7zip-rar p7zip   and file roller can handle them
[01:32] <violinappren> !paste | bluphenix316
[01:32] <Cong> so filer-roller opens a shell and does processing?
[01:32] <Dr_willis> Cong,  in the background yes.. thats how a great many apps work in linux.. thats why they are often called 'front ends'
[01:33] <iFlip> Does anyone know about setting up a PHP test server on Lucid Ubuntu. I'm creating PHP scripts on a Mac and want to run them on my Linux box for testing instead of constantly uploading to remote server
[01:33] <Dr_willis> file-roller calls the archiveer tool binaries with the right arguments
[01:33] <benq> i want a tuto to mount extention shell gnome
[01:33] <tortib> can someone help me with openvpn and android?  I'm not able to connect from my android phone here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210131/
[01:33] <violinappren> !lamp | iFlip
[01:33] <pinguy_> I currently using Pinguy OS 12.04 in live mode. It won't recognize my Logitech wireless keyboard. Also it will not load the topbar, help?
[01:33] <iFlip> I'm running LAMP
[01:33] <iFlip> But I need to utilize phpmyAdmin
[01:33] <Dr_willis> pinguy_,  the PinGuy OS has its own support forums and channels.
[01:33] <wad> I installed a .deb file using dpkg -i filename.deb
[01:33] <iFlip> It's for a class
[01:34] <wad> Now I want to remove it. How can I figure out what the package name is?
[01:34] <pinguy_> No one is there.
[01:34] <violinappren> iFlip: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
[01:34] <iFlip> Is the PHP built into Apache
[01:34] <Floorduck> Hi, I'm sending my laptop back to the company for a replacement. The screen is defective. I have ubuntu installed on it right now. Do you think they'll claim that voids my warranty? :l
[01:34] <iFlip> Really it's that easy LOL
[01:34] <blackshirt> iflip, just install phpmyadmin
[01:34] <Dr_willis> pinguy_,  sounds like a good reason to use Ubuntu and not PinGuy.  We cant support all the variants here.
[01:34] <violinappren> iFlip: no, and please read the wiki page
[01:34] <bluphenix316> violinappren: I pasted it, though it is connected now, this is such a hard issue to troubleshoot because it works for a while
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> Cong: also install unp for easy CLI extraction :)
[01:34] <violinappren> bluphenix316: then give us the URL to your paste
[01:35] <k1l_> wad: apt-get remove programname?
[01:35] <blackshirt> iflip, php and apache was a different things
[01:35] <pinguy_> Well, is you can help me dual-monitor on Ubuntu 12.04 I will use it.
[01:35] <iFlip> When I want to test a PHP script, do I just drop it into the root of the Apache folder
[01:35] <bluphenix316> paste.ubuntu.com/1210138
[01:35] <tortib> I'm giving URLs to my paste but nobody seems ot be helping me
[01:35] <violinappren> iFlip: read the page before asking further questions
[01:35] <bluphenix316> tortib: be patient, mate sometimes the issues take time
[01:35] <tortib> i doubt i'm the only one that has attempted to setup android to connect to a openvpn server
[01:35] <blackshirt> Iflip, commonly yes
[01:35] <wad> k1l_, that would be great if I knew what the program name was... is there a way to determine this from the .deb file?
[01:35] <iFlip> I've been reading, watching YouTube DIY - I can't seem to bridge the gap of understanding this one
[01:35] <CompuTom> HP LaserJet 3100 is multifunction printer connected parallel port to 12.04LTS. OS sees machine but cannot distinguish print from fax. Got latest HPLIP but will not check parallel port , only USB for device.
[01:35] <k1l_> wad: you dont know, what you installed? o_O
[01:35] <Dr_willis> tortib,  theres also the #android channel
[01:36] <blackshirt> wad, use dpkg -S /some/path
[01:36] <tortib> Dr_willis: i'll try there thanks
[01:36] <wad> blackshirt, thanks.
[01:37] <wad> k1l_, I followed the instructions on installing something, and it had me run a script that installed a bunch of .deb files. But it failed. Now I'm trying to clean up the system.
[01:37] <iFlip> I guess that wont work anyway, I'm running a WebDAV on my Apache server
[01:37] <blackshirt> iflip, i don't see any prooblem with yours
[01:37] <k1l_> wad: ah, ok
[01:37] <bluphenix316> violinappren: i can see it in my own post, the driver it is using is rtl8192ce, but its a rtl8188ce device, that is really strange
[01:37] <violinappren> bluphenix316: http://askubuntu.com/questions/95360/how-to-get-a-stable-wlan-connection-with-a-lenovo-x121e
[01:38] <iFlip> blackshirt can I run a WebDAV and a PHP test server simul
[01:38] <blackshirt> iflip, yes
[01:38] <wad> Is there no way to determine what a package name is from a .deb file?
[01:38] <bluphenix316> violinappren: thank you muchly for the help
[01:38] <bluphenix316> hopefully it will work
[01:39] <wad> I've looked in the file, it's not ASCII that I can see.
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> wad: it usually matches the deb file name in most cases
[01:39] <wad> I can install it, and that will tell me what it is.
[01:39] <blackshirt> I have setup some subversion service through apache
[01:39] <wad> ActionParsnip, I tried that. It doesn't in this case. :(
[01:39] <L1> Any ideas why I get no sound from Amorok while music is playing, but if I play the same file with VLC it works fine? (and browsers, xbmc etc all have sound)
[01:39] <blackshirt> wad, what you mean exactly?
[01:39] <wad> Maybe there's some way to reverse engineer .deb files.
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> wad: try reading the last few lines in /var/log/dpkg.log
[01:39] <violinappren> iFlip: you have been reading and you cant tell whether  php is built in apache or not? i dont think so ..
[01:39] <wad> Ah, okay.... the log files, duh.
[01:40] <violinappren> bluphenix316: you're welcome and good luck
[01:40] <eamon> How do I tell what version the software I'm going to get is with apt-get?
[01:40] <blackshirt> Wad, .deb files is a just like other tarred files
[01:40] <exile777> hi. i need a bash script that will run a command something like this. can anyone help me? ./foo /location lineXfromfile where it runs foo, with each line from the file one by one
[01:40] <wad> blackshirt, ah, so if I untar it, there will be a file in there somewhere with the name of the package?
[01:40] <trism> wad: dpkg-deb -I filename.deb; helpful too
[01:40] <k1l_> eamon: use "apt-cache" for that
[01:40] <iFlip> violinappren Well, I've read some people just say install an Apache Server
[01:40] <wad> I've got like 20 of the darn things to go through.
[01:40] <violinappren> L1: perhaps something to do with the selected sound engine in amarok settings
[01:41] <iFlip> violinappren then other says install XAMPP, or WAMP, or MAMP
[01:41] <blackshirt> wad, you can unpack iit with dpkg
[01:41] <wad> trism, that's it! Thanks!
[01:41] <L1> violinappren: It says it is using Phonon, does that sound right?
[01:41] <blackshirt> iflip, what are you tring to do ? And what confusing you?
[01:42] <tortib> I'm trying to use OpenVPN wiht android and i'm running into some problems http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210131/
[01:42] <Cong> unrar and p7zip-rar packages are similar and they both do they same thing in file-roller, is that correct?
[01:42] <DroidDuck> I can't seem to get the ubuntu live cd to run. It starts to, I get the keyboard and lil'guy icon, then the I get a white pixelated bar at the bottom of the screen.
[01:42] <DroidDuck> Anyone know how to correct this?
[01:42] <L1> OK, So I think you are right violinappren. When I go to configure Phonon, and click the "test" button, no sound is being played
[01:43] <blackshirt> iflip, wamp is for windows
[01:43] <eamon> DroidDuck try kubuntu, that might work
[01:43] <blackshirt> iflip, that why called wamp
[01:43] <violinappren> L1: phonon can stream audio to many backends, some of them may work on your configuration, some of them may not, so look in KDE settings
[01:43] <iFlip> blackshirt, I have a simple HTML file that loads POST data to a PHP file. This is for a web program class. The HTML loads fine locally, but when I click the submit button, the PHP does not load, instaed it asks if I want to save the PHP file to my computer. I don't want to save the file, I want to execute it
[01:43] <L1> Say's I'm using PulseAudio Sound Server for music (and other) playback
[01:43] <Deutopia> plug in your headphones and make sure its not just playing out of the wrong jack
[01:44] <DroidDuck> eamon, I don't like KDE. Is that my only choice now?
[01:44] <WACOMalt> Hey folks, I am having an issue making a publicly accessible (by everyone) samba share on ubuntu. Read and Write.
[01:44] <Deutopia> gnome? xfce?
[01:44] <CompuTom> I installed HP-LIP.2.13.9.run without error. when I run hp-setup to finish installing printer get no option to poll parallel port. How do I fix?
[01:45] <blackshirt> iflip, you should configure apache module for php ...
[01:45] <eamon> DroidDuck it might not even work - it could be an X problem
[01:45] <iFlip> blackshirt, how would I go about doing that?
[01:45] <blackshirt> Iflip, i don't play with lamp stack anymore.. That bit a cryptic for me
[01:45] <DroidDuck> So, does anyone know how to solve X video issues?
[01:45] <iFlip> blackshirt, do I need to load or save any php scripts to the apache root
[01:45] <Deutopia> chmod
[01:45] <blackshirt> Iflip, i like install bit by bit for a packages
[01:46] <WACOMalt> Can anyone help me with samba please? Trying to make a fully open folder to the public on my network.
[01:46] <L1> violinappren: Thanks - your suggestion got me in the right place. In System Settings -> Sound, under Applications, Amorak was on 0 volume for some reason :/
[01:46] <blackshirt> wacomalt, thats why samba play a role
[01:46] <eamon> DroidDuck what hardware are you using (video card specifically)
[01:46] <WACOMalt> yes, I'm using samba
[01:46] <violinappren> L1: you're welcome.. im an old KDE fan  (not any more though...)
[01:46] <Deutopia> wacomalt; chmod
[01:46] <WACOMalt> to what?
[01:47] <DroidDuck> Galaxy nVidia Gefore GT 610
[01:47] <DroidDuck> is my video card
[01:47] <WACOMalt> Deutopia, chmod what and with what settings?
[01:47] <linus-torvalds> How do I get Ubuntu 12.04 to dual-monitor?  O_o
[01:47] <jerry_l1> violin what made you change your mind about KDE?
[01:48] <blackshirt> i think linus-torvalds can setup it :d
[01:48] <h22turbo> WACOMalt: no, i am
[01:48] <iFlip> I just SSH into my Linux Box. The /etc/apache2/mods-enabled has the PHP5 conf files already in place
[01:48] <linus-torvalds> I wouldn't be asking a simple question as suck lol.
[01:48] <WACOMalt> linus-torvalds, in any case, install the nvidia drivers and open NVidia settings from dash
[01:48] <iFlip> blaskshirt I just SSH into my Linux Box. The /etc/apache2/mods-enabled has the PHP5 conf files already in place
[01:48] <WACOMalt> in there youc an enable your second monitor
[01:48] <eamon> DroidDuck have you installed this? https://www.google.ie/search?q=GT+610+linux+driver
[01:48] <WACOMalt> you'll have to from then on ignore ubuntu's display settings :/
[01:48] <blackshirt> you were linus-torvalds..anyone know who you is :d lol
[01:49] <WACOMalt> So anyone up for helping me with this samba setup?
[01:49] <linus-torvalds> I have tampered with that, it was unsuccessful.
[01:49] <blackshirt> wacomalt, what the problems guys?
[01:49] <DroidDuck> eamon, I can't get to a desktop to install anything
[01:49] <WACOMalt> Deutopia, I'm sitting in a terminal, in my folder, with the prompt readin chmod, waiting for the rest of the command
[01:50] <CompuTom> which forum should I ask printer questions in?
[01:50] <WACOMalt> blackshirt, trying to make a fully open (to all interfaces and users) folder on my ubuntu machine
[01:50] <WACOMalt> to share with windows
[01:50] <eamon> DroidDuck do it from the command line
[01:50] <bluphenix316> linus-torvalds, are you the actual linus? if so, i won't waste your time, but thank you for all that you have done hehe
[01:50] <WACOMalt> in linus-torvalds's honor, I flick off NVidia.
[01:50] <DroidDuck> I don't get a command line either
[01:51] <eamon> DroidDuck it's not that hard you'd be doing it that way on the desktoy anyway
[01:51] <DroidDuck> I get the keyboard plus lil' guy and then a screwed up screen
[01:51] <eamon> press a key to boot to command line
[01:52] <WACOMalt> Ctl+alt+F1
[01:52] <eamon> idk which key you'll have to google that
[01:52] <eamon> there
[01:52] <blackshirt> wacomalt, you mean all user can access?
[01:52] <linus-torvalds> I go into NVIDIA X Server Settings and browse to X Server Display Configuration, from there I am lost.
[01:52] <WACOMalt> blackshirt, yes, read and write
[01:53] <violinappren> bluphenix316: my sentiment exactly
[01:53] <eamon> DroidDuck also try ctrl alt f2 f3 f4 etc some of them don't go to command line sometimes
[01:54] <shadedpixel> How do I install the firmware for my wirless driver (included in the kernel).
[01:54] <eamon> shadedpixel drivers dont have / aren't firmware
[01:55] <shadedpixel> http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170#Firmware-1 <-- Says I need the firmware to use the driver (Im running ubuntu minimal, no update manager or anything)
[01:56] <WACOMalt> blackshirt, http://www.blindmanstudio.com/dropbox/Screenshot%20from%202012-09-16%2018:54:22.png This screenshot shows all the settings for this share and samba server. Please help if you can
[01:56] <blackshirt> wacomalt, like a bad thing
[01:56] <WACOMalt> ?
[01:56] <WACOMalt> like a bad thing?
[01:57] <blackshirt> wacomalt, wait a minute
[01:57] <WACOMalt> ok
[01:57] <CompuTom> standing by for printer help...
[01:58] <WACOMalt> also this computer isnt showing up on my Windows's "Network" category.
[01:58] <eamon> shadedpixel idk how to do it on linux but you can probably do it easily on windows and it will be the same (understand what firmware is to understnd this)
[01:58] <shadedpixel> eamon, I dont use windows
[01:59] <shadedpixel> nevermind
[01:59] <WACOMalt> aaannnd my helper left
[01:59] <WACOMalt> Anyone else good with samba?
[01:59] <WACOMalt> just trying to simply make a fully open public folder via samba. read and write access to anyone and everyone.
[02:00] <phunyguy> is it possible to view NFS shares with gvfs and nautilus?
[02:01] <wilee-nilee> WACOMalt, http://www.howtogeek.com/116309/use-ubuntus-public-folder-to-easily-share-files-between-computers/
[02:02] <WACOMalt> that's close to what I need, but I need a specific folder, not just the ubuntu public
[02:02] <Cell> So I hear 12.10 ships out october 13th right?
[02:04] <blackshirt> WACOMalt: still around guys ?
[02:04] <WACOMalt> blackshirt, yup
[02:05] <blackshirt> WACOMalt: pm me

[02:06] <Floorduck> Floorduck: Hi, I'm sending my laptop back to the company for a replacement. The screen is defective. I have ubuntu installed on it right now. Do you think they'll claim that voids my warranty? :l
[02:06] <wilee-nilee> Floorduck, ask them
[02:08] <PurplePenny> I'm trying to set up a diskless ubuntu client. It hangs on "* Starting NSM status monitor [OK]".. anyone have a clue what's wrong?
[02:09] <wilee-nilee> Floorduck, I would assume it is a problem and clone the ubuntu and load the backup of the stock setup
[02:12] <phunyguy> Hahahaha that quit message was fantastic by null1024
[02:12] <PurplePenny> I didn't see it, what'd it say?
[02:13] <bluphenix316> Quit: "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." -- Ronald Regan, during a mic check.
[02:13] <phunyguy> hhaha you got it first
[02:13] <PurplePenny> lol
[02:14] <bluphenix316> man its so weird to be on irc again
[02:15] <bluphenix316> when i first started coding, i started scripting for mIRC and ircII back in the mid-90s and use to spend a lot of time on irc, then real life happened, and now this is the first time i've been back on irc in almost 15 years
[02:15] <phunyguy> there is an offtopic channel we would be more than happy to join you in
[02:15] <phunyguy> #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:15] <violinappren> !offtopic | bluphenix316
[02:16] <violinappren> Floorduck: if they did, fight back
[02:17] <delinquentme> ok so how about ... How to zip everything in a directory .. except for the contents of a file called "paperclip" ?              ... I think this is going to be a find command piped to the zip command ... right?
[02:17] <violinappren> Floorduck: tell them you'll publicize it and swarms of ubuntu heads will demand a boycott!
[02:17] <delinquentme> OR .. if theres a way I can create a zip file and then selectively add files to it
[02:17] <wilee-nilee> !ot | violinappren take that hehe
[02:17] <TJ-> PurplePenny: That's part of NFS... if it's diskless I suspect it is doing a PXE boot via TFTP and NFS?
[02:18] <danawar2> Hey #ubuntu i have a server and a user connects to that server types some commands via ssh then clears thier bash history, is there any way to recover that bash history
[02:19] <Deutopia> #ubuntu-server  might know
[02:19] <PurplePenny> TJ: correct. I've got 1 server providing PXE and tftp, another provides NFS
[02:19] <TJ-> delinquentme: See the zip "-x" option ... e.g. "zip archive "*.h" "*.c" -x donotinclude.h orthis.h"
[02:19] <delinquentme> oo! $ zip -r ebi_copy.zip ebi/ -x ebi/paperclip/
[02:19] <delinquentme> this looks like it

[02:20] <TJ-> PurplePenny: Do you have any clients booting successfully so far?

[02:21] <shadedpixel> Hi, im getting "No scan results" when trying to conect to wifi (Im doing this manually through terminal)
[02:22] <violinappren> shadedpixel: have you connected to wireless before? are you sure your router is fine? you could also try scanning by essid: sudo iwlist scan essid NAMEHERE
[02:23] <shadedpixel> violinappren, Yes. But im doing this with a new card because my previous one didnt have native linux support
[02:24] <violinappren> shadedpixel: is it a usb card or a PCI?
[02:24] <PurplePenny> TJ-, I had limited success when the servers and client were 10.04. There is a bug in 10.04 that prevented me from being able to use dhcp clients so I upgraded the servers and clients to 10.10. Since then, I'm able to use dhcp but can't get past the "* Starting NSM status monitor [OK]" stage
[02:25] <shadedpixel> violinappren, USB
[02:25] <WACOMalt> Guys is it possible to share an NTFS folder over samba?
[02:25] <WACOMalt> been banging my head on that for 4 hours now
[02:25] <TJ-> PurplePenny: What images are the clients booting from? LiveCD?
[02:25] <violinappren> shadedpixel: whats your ubuntu version? pastebin the output of: lsusb
[02:25] <violinappren> !paste | shadedpixel
[02:26] <shadedpixel> violinappren, Its Ubuntu 12.04 (minimal), its the TP-LINKTL-WN821N v2
[02:26] <violinappren> shadedpixel: pastebin the output
[02:30] <shadedpixel> violinappren: Ok, hold on :)
[02:30] <PurplePenny> TJ-, No, I installed ubuntu on a machine, then copied the system to the nfs server. I used this guide: http://www.serenux.com/2011/04/howto-create-a-diskless-workstation-that-boots-from-pxe-using-ubuntu/
[02:31] <TJ-> PurplePenny: OK... and are you providing a PXE boot menu over TFTP ?
[02:33] <WACOMalt> Guys is it possible to share an NTFS folder over samba? been banging my head on that for 4 hours now...
[02:33] <PurplePenny> TJ-, Yes.
[02:33] <rechapos> holas
[02:33] <shadedpixel> violinappren: http://pastebin.com/HweDGZku
[02:35] <TJ-> PurplePenny: First thing is, to get more log output from the kernel. Edit the PXE boot entry for the kernel. add "debug" to the 'append' line so the client reports everything it is doing... that may help you determine the cause
[02:36] <TJ-> PurplePenny: Also, check the NFS logs on the server to ensure the client is being granted access
[02:38] <PurplePenny> Ok, I'll do that, thanks
[02:41] <drupin> i used have roboform on windoze .. any similar like app we have
[02:41] <drupin> which can import data and use here
[02:42] <sambagirl> when youi want to add a folder say from your desktop to your places drop down, where do you place it?
[02:42] <sambagirl> put it in home folder and add it as accessible via main menu options?
[02:42] <WACOMalt> how do I edit my fstab settings? I need to mount my NTFS drive as ntfs-3g rather than fuseblk
[02:44] <wilee-nilee> WACOMalt, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#ntfs
[02:44] <violinappren> shadedpixel: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3-precise-generic
[02:44] <violinappren> shadedpixel: and then reboot
[02:45] <violinappren> sambagirl: drag and drop it to the places pane on the left of the file manager
[02:45] <rechapos> saludos ala gente de jazzperPeru
[02:45] <violinappren> sambagirl: or add as "bookmark"
[02:46] <wilee-nilee> rechapos, This is an english channel if you can.
[02:46] <WACOMalt> wilee-nilee, ok I am still a bit confused how to change the current mount for this drive into ntfs
[02:46] <violinappren> !es | rechapos
[02:46] <WACOMalt> *ntfs-3g
[02:47] <violinappren> drupin: check the firefox addons site
[02:48] <drupin> no i need a natice client app violinappren ..
[02:48] <drupin> native*
[02:48] <wilee-nilee> WACOMalt, use the line shoiwn with the correct drive and partition I would think.

[02:48] <bluesnow> Hi, I'm wondering how MIT and BSD licenses apply to web applications.
[02:48] <bluesnow> For libraries used server side, do I have to include the licenses on my website?
[02:48] <rechapos> help
[02:49] <cornfeed> is there a way to add a configuration option to a package's debian/rules file and have it be respected on subsiquent apt-get upgrades?
[02:49] <rechapos> disconnet
[02:50] <WACOMalt> wilee-nilee, my /etc/fstab/ file does not have this mount listed at all
[02:50] <cornfeed> that is impossible
[02:50] <Pargolin> BUDUSCRIPT: Tramite il comando di menu BuDuScRiPt
[02:50] <wilee-nilee> WACOMalt, okay make one it the only ones loaded automatically are the OS.
[02:51] <WACOMalt> wilee-nilee, but the drive IS currently mounted, just not listed here. How can I make sure it wont be trying to mount twice?
[02:51] <wilee-nilee> WACOMalt, How is it mounting now?
[02:51] <WACOMalt> no idea
[02:51] <WACOMalt> its in /media/DuoStor
[02:52] <WACOMalt> but not sure WHAT is mounting it, or when or how
[02:52] <Pargolin> `·.¸¸.·´`·.¸¸.·´`·.¸¸.·´`·.¸¸.·´`·.¸¸.·´`
[02:52] <Pargolin> (¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.->   I  <-.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯)
[02:52] <Pargolin> ¸¸·´¯`·.¸¸¸¸·´¯`·.¸¸¸¸·´¯`·.¸¸¸¸·´¯`·.¸¸¸
[02:52] <FloodBot1> Pargolin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:52] <wilee-nilee> WACOMalt, Plugged in when booting or sudo mount /dev/sdx /mnt the other way
[02:52] <WACOMalt> wilee-nilee, it's an internal drive, so always mounted. I dont plug it in or anything
[02:53] <wilee-nilee> WACOMalt, Hmm, not sure then myself I don't have anything automounting and a single HD
[02:54] <somsip> cornfeed: what sort of rule do you mean?
[02:55] <wilee-nilee> WACOMalt, I wonder if its in the fstab are you sure its not?
[02:55] <zykotick9> WACOMalt: if you want finer control over mounting, i'd suggest applying labels, then using fstab file.
[02:55] <battlehands> http://askubuntu.com/questions/127405/matlab-cant-find-lib-libc-so-6-in-12-04   Im following the instructions on that site.  How do I install the different libraries in the 4th post list?
[02:55] <usr13> WACOMalt: mount #with no arguments will tell you what you have mounted right now.
[02:56] <violinappren> battlehands: sudo apt-get install NAME
[02:56] <battlehands> violinappren: thanks
[02:58] <violinappren> battlehands: in fact you can install all of them in one go
[02:59] <WACOMalt> usr13, yeah I know that. I have it mounted as fuseblk right now
[02:59] <WACOMalt> which is apparantly not good for trying to share on samba
[03:00] <Floorduck> hmm, so im running the windows recovery mode thing right now
[03:00] <Floorduck> for better or for worse
[03:00] <Floorduck> I hope they arent curious and ask why
[03:00] <WACOMalt> I added a line to my fstab,  /dev/sdc1 /media/DuoStor ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
[03:00] <Floorduck> when I send it back for a replacement..
[03:00] <WACOMalt> hopefully that fixes it, how do I update my mountpoints? reboot?
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: sudo mount /dev/sdc1    will make it mount as you state in /etc/fstab
[03:01] <iateadonut> how can i get my screen to go black while vlc is playing sound files?
[03:02] <Poindexter_> Greets folks. Is there an application to replicate paste-bin server?
[03:02] <uberTaco> Poindexter_: probably out there someplace. IF not, doesn't seem too hard to build
[03:02] <uberTaco> if I may ask, though, why reinvent the wheel?
[03:03] <eamon> !off-tpyic
[03:03] <eamon> !off-topic
[03:04] <violinappren> Poindexter_: offtopic but there are lots, looks for "php pastebin script"
[03:04] <Poindexter_> Thanks.
[03:04] <WACOMalt> ActionParsnip, "Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.
[03:04] <WACOMalt> The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command"
[03:06] <sambagirl> ActionPArsnip when you want to change the images for ubuntu for example lets say i wanted to use my own pics for ubuntu, where exactly are these images stored?
[03:06] <WACOMalt> ActionParsnip, usr13, I did sudo umount /dev/sdc1/ then mounted again as you said, and when i type $mount I it is still listed as fuseblk
[03:07] <violinappren> sambagirl: what images?
[03:07] <violinappren> sambagirl: the wallpaper?
[03:08] <sambagirl> ziolinappren yes i mean when you first get the initial boot screen with the feet and stuff all the way thru all instances
[03:08] <battlehands> I installed matlab on my netbook that is running lubuntu...  Now I can't open matlab.
[03:09] <WACOMalt> ActionParsnip, usr13, this is my fstab file: http://pastie.org/pastes/4735555/text
[03:09] <violinappren> sambagirl: thats .. a lot of things.. starting with "boot animation".. to the lightdm theme and then finally the wallpaper.. each is a different thing
[03:09] <Sachiru> Can anyone recommend a good desktop motherboard that is LGA1155 and supports 32GB of RAM?
[03:09] <WACOMalt> you can see it's set to ntfs-3g, but on umount and mount, I am getting it mounted as fuseblk which is wrong
[03:09] <sambagirl> oh i see violinappren. where can i learn about these things?
[03:10] <WACOMalt> how much does real Ubuntu support assistance cost?
[03:10] <sambagirl> well now i know what to search for violinappren, the three instances you just messaegd.
[03:10] <sambagirl> messaged.
[03:11] <violinappren> sambagirl: http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/05/5-stunning-plymouth-screen-themes-for.html
[03:11] <sambagirl> thank you violinappren
[03:11] <battlehands> any ideas of why my matlab file wont open?
[03:11] <violinappren> sambagirl: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/tool-change-lightdm-wallpaper-ubuntu-11-10
[03:12] <violinappren> sambagirl: and for the wallpaper, just right click on the desktop
[03:12] <violinappren> sambagirl: you're welcome
[03:12] <WACOMalt> holycrap it worked
[03:13] <WACOMalt> I can now share my ntfs folder over samba
[03:13] <WACOMalt> thank you blackshirt!
[03:13] <sambagirl> violinappren i just installed 10.04 on that particular laptop so i guess i now have the ideas to study anyway
[03:13] <sambagirl> WACOMalt see, you get good help here.
[03:14] <battlehands> << real ubuntu problems
[03:14] <WACOMalt> sambagirl, it may take time, but it certainly is ture :)
[03:14] <violinappren> sambagirl: beaware that there might be some changes depending on the version being discussed, but you'll get an idea about where to look
[03:14] <WACOMalt> thank you ActionParsnip and usr13 too. much appreciated!
[03:14] <WACOMalt> and now I'm off. goodbye folks!
[03:15] <riex> Hello, i am trying to run a php script for showing some traffic data on a website over a mysql database. with this script: http://pastebin.com/z1Dq7u7p <- the eth0, eth1, lo files runs and shows up in the database, but without any kind of traffic data, so i think the traffic.php file dosen't run, if i run it manually it works. I hope someone here maybe can help me out. ;)
[03:17] <bkc_> riex: apache won't run sudo-stuff...
[03:17] <riex> bkc_: Then what do to? :-p
[03:17] <Floorduck> How do I get rid of linux without leaving conspicious traces of it?
[03:17] <tom__> Hi, could someone please tell me a method to automatically change permissions of files as they are added to a folder? Thanks!
[03:18] <bkc_> riex: you run a daemon that fills the database, and then you read the database from the site...
[03:18] <cfhowlett> Floorduck: reinstall your preferred OS - reformat the disk
[03:18] <Floorduck> im returning my laptop which i just got
[03:18] <Floorduck> it had 2 hidden partitions along with the main windows 7 one
[03:18] <Floorduck> id like to preserve those
[03:19] <violinappren> riex: how is it ran "not manually"? did you set up a cron job?
[03:19] <battlehands> I have a green matlab file in my directory
[03:19] <battlehands> how do I run it?
[03:19] <sambagirl> riex are you running monit?
[03:20] <cornfeed> riex: yeah what you want to do should be done in a different language
[03:20] <cornfeed> or by php-cli
[03:21] <bkc_> riex: do you have read-access to the file ? (chmod 0644 eth0.txt)
[03:24] <blackshirt> WACOMalt: still there guys ?
[03:24] <battlehands> I have a green matlab file in my directory.  How do I run it?
[03:28] <genewitch> why does ubuntu have gaps in the default partition numbers?
[03:29] <tom__> genewitch: Logical partitions
[03:32] <genewitch> tom__: but why is it like 1,4,6
[03:32] <genewitch> why not 1,2,3
[03:32] <blackshirt> :-D
[03:32] <battlehands> I have a green matlab file in my directory.  How do I run it?
[03:33] <tom__> genewitch: also I think if you're using the graphical installer, and create some partitions in the partiton manager, then delete them without actually writing the changes to disk, that uses up a few numbers
[03:33] <rsvp> anyone know when GIMP on Ubuntu 12.04 will be upgraded to version 2.8 ???
[03:34] <genewitch> tom__: non-graphical, i've noticed this with debian and EL
[03:34] <galups2000> hi
[03:35] <bkc_> rsvp: still not upped to 2.8? o.O
[03:36] <rsvp> bkc_ -- just checked current GIMP version is 2.6.12 on Precise -- NOT 2.8
[03:36] <cfhowlett> galups2000: greetings
[03:36] <bkc_> rsvp: -.-
[03:36] <blackshirt> battlehands, matlab was for windows, I don't know if matlab available on linux
[03:36] <bkc_> rsvp: how is QQ looking? :)
[03:36] <rsvp> what's QQ?
[03:37] <cfhowlett> rsvp: qq = twitter in china
[03:37] <rsvp> IDK if I really care.
[03:37] <battlehands> blackshirt: I just installed matlab.  Now I have this green file in my directory, and when I type matlab, nothing happens.  Apparently, no one knows how I can execute that file
[03:38] <somsip> battlehands: ./matlab maybe?
[03:38] <rsvp> battlehands, install r-base and do yourself a favor.
[03:38] <rsvp> or ./methlab
[03:38] <battlehands> somsip: that worked
[03:38] <battlehands> thanks
[03:38] <blackshirt> battlehand, sorry ... I don't have play a bit with matlab on linux... but you mean you have succesfully install matlab on your box ?
[03:39] <battlehands> blackshirt: yep, and it works now
[03:39] <rsvp> how does one check on the upgrade schedule of a particular package ???
[03:43] <blackshirt> battlehands: greats
[03:44] <drummerman> im looking for a good game programming help channel, anyone know of a good one?
[03:45] <xangua> how can i start firefox in safe mode¿ can't even google it because it quits 10 seconds after i open it :(
[03:45] <somsip> xangua: in a terminal  firefox -safe-mode
[03:46] <excervo> xangua: firefox->help->restart with disabled addons
[03:49] <Tkkoe> How could anyone finds out the switchs for each program like what you said about firefox
[03:49] <xangua> excervo: didn't know about that one :)
[03:50] <TuxOtaku> hey, my webcam just stops working after a while
[03:50] <somsip> Tkkoe: the man page usually has lots, if there is a man page
[03:50] <TuxOtaku> like, I'll reboot and it will start working again
[03:50] <TuxOtaku> but then it will just die minutes later
[03:50] <tortib> Hello, how do I setup a bridged interface in ubuntu?
[03:50] <tortib> ie br0
[03:51] <tortib> I've been reading https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/openvpn.html
[03:51] <tortib> but it doesn't seem to work when I set the configuration file settings
[03:53] <jagginess> Tkkoe: the man command, (type 'apropos firefox' <enter>, then man <keyword><enter>)
[03:53] <Tkkoe> If it is relevent...  is it possible to change a born android tablet to ubuntu?
[03:53] <jagginess> Tkkoe: #android
[03:53] <jagginess> !topic
[03:54] <excervo> hello guys, what this error means when i play wmv files in vlc-> VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2".
[03:54] <Tkkoe> Android to ubuntu
[03:54] <Tkkoe> Thanks
[03:54] <jagginess> excervo: just turn on all the *verse repos, and install all the ugly gstreamer packages
[03:54] <jagginess> excervo: (google: ubuntu wiki multimedia)
[03:55] <cfhowlett> !arm|Tkkoe:
[03:55] <excervo> thanks. I'll try that
[03:56] <Tkkoe> Thanks
[03:57] <TJ-> tortib: You can compare with the /etc/network/interfaces from one of my servers http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210301/
[03:58] <tortib> can someone help me setup a bridged ethernet connection on ubuntu please?
[03:59] <tortib> these docs are not working and are causing my network to just go down.
[03:59] <TJ-> tortib: ^^^^
[03:59] <tortib> ?
[03:59] <tortib> TJ-: ?
[03:59] <TJ-> tortib: see my last comment to you with the pastebin
[03:59] <tortib> I don't see the pastebin
[03:59] <tortib> can you repaste please
[03:59] <tortib> whatever i set in the configuration file doesn't work
[04:00] <tortib> even for a static ip
[04:00] <TJ-> tortib: You can compare with the /etc/network/interfaces from one of my servers http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210301/
[04:00] <tortib> i had to use the GUI to set a static IP
[04:00] <mushroomed> Hi, my uname -r outputs ==> 3.5.2-x86_64
[04:00] <mushroomed> When I try to ==> apt-cache search linux-headers-3.5.2 <== I don't find any candidate
[04:00] <tortib> TJ-: is having the broadcast set necessary?
[04:01] <tortib> the other docs i've read don't have broadcast set
[04:01] <mushroomed> Should I install the linux-headers-generic ?
[04:01] <somsip> mushroomed: did you get the 3.5.2 kernel from a ppa?
[04:01] <TJ-> mushroomed: If you've installed 3.5.2, you did it from the Ubuntu mainline kernel archive - you need to fetch the header files from there and install them using dpkg
[04:02] <TJ-> tortib: broadcast should be set automatically but it never hurts to be explicit
[04:02] <jerry_l1> sorry to interupt... i still dont know the difference from KDE to Gnome.. i use Puppy linx with a desktop environment alot.
[04:02] <jerry_l1> a small answer would be good..
[04:03] <iateadonut> i think ubuntu uses compiz
[04:03] <iateadonut> is that small enough?
[04:03] <blackshirt> jerry_l1, that different developer sources
[04:03] <mushroomed> somsip: PPA?
[04:03] <cfhowlett> jerry_l1: install kde and gnome on puppy and try em out.  They're just different iinterfaces.  KDE emulates Apple OSX pretty heavily
[04:03] <iateadonut> which desktop environment does puppy use?
[04:03] <jerry_l1> ....
[04:03] <tortib> TJ-: also you'r enot specifying a gateway?
[04:03] <tortib> oh wait you are
[04:03] <blackshirt> jerry_l1, different base library for graphical interfaces
[04:04] <somsip> mushroomed: probably better if you reply to TJ- as he seems to know for sure
[04:04] <tortib> why are you specifying a broadcast and a network?
[04:04] <iateadonut> it's one of those real small ones
[04:04] <TJ-> tortib: no... that's done by other scripts... the ISP gateway is set when ppp0 comes up, then I have openvpn create a tunnel to a datacenter which replaces the default gateway with the other end of the tunnel
[04:04] <jerry_l1> hey B.s.  those answers seem pretty good.
[04:05] <mushroomed> TJ-: somsip: I really don't understand where to fetch the headers from
[04:05] <jerry_l1> as mor the mac... most of the puppy linuxs look like a mac..?
[04:05] <somsip> mushroomed: where did you get the 3.5.2 kernel from?
[04:05] <TJ-> mushroomed: What does "uname -a" report?
[04:05] <jerry_l1> thanks everyone. must do more readding....
[04:06] <mushroomed> Linux hostname 3.5.2-x86_64-hostname #1 SMP Wed Aug 15 14:31:07 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[04:06] <WACOMalt> hey guys. I know this is more a windows thing, but... Is there a filesystem driver for Ext2/3/4 for Windows that DOESNT suck?
[04:06] <blackshirt> jerry_l1, I think puppy using KDE as a desktop environment :D
[04:06] <blackshirt> jerry_l1, most of kde libraries built with Qt framework
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> mushroomed: are you using Quantal?
[04:06] <TJ-> mushroomed: OK. That's not a kernel provided by Ubuntu, even from the kernel team's PPA archive. You need to install the kernel header packages from whereever you got that kernel
[04:06] <blackshirt> WACOMalt: hello
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image quantal
[04:07] <WACOMalt> hi blackshirt
[04:07] <TJ-> mushroomed: "3.5.2-x86_64-hostname" is not an Ubuntu kernel version naming
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> mushroomed: you are using a 3rd party kernel
[04:07] <blackshirt> WACOMalt: I think not :D
[04:07] <mushroomed> TJ-: ActionParsnip: Linode provided the Ubuntu installation for me
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: I thought it was fluxbox...
[04:07] <WACOMalt> alas. Yeah both Ext2Fsd and Ext2IFS are both buggy as heck and have a tendancy to break your drives...
[04:07] <mushroomed> I just assigned the disks mounting and networking issues
[04:07] <TJ-> mushroomed: Why didn't you say!? You're on a Virtual private server
[04:08] <mushroomed> TJ-: Yes , sorry
[04:08] <mushroomed> Didn't knew it was an important detail
[04:08] <TJ-> mushroomed: on a VPS the kernel is pre-set :) Let me check where Linode's source should be
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: they could add it to the OS, the defs of the file systems are freely aailable. Funny how the Linux community took the time to work out NTFS so that the OS can access NTFS partitions despite the data structure being unpublished and not available to anyone...
[04:08] <mushroomed> TJ-: Thanks! Really
[04:09] <blackshirt> ActionParsnip, maybe ... but some of them I ever used
[04:09] <mushroomed> ActionParsnip: Thank you too
[04:10] <WACOMalt> ActionParsnip, Sad and funny, but it makes sense. Not many windows users would use it, so its not worth their time. Expecially when the linux people are making NTFS work for them. Now everyone can just use NTFS :P
[04:10] <WACOMalt> ! http://www.paragon-software.com/home/extbrowser/
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: I think its a bit shortsighted
[04:10] <WACOMalt> paragon has a currently free browser for it!
[04:10] <WACOMalt> ActionParsnip, is Microsoft ever NOT shortsighted? :P
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: they helped develop samba if memory serves
[04:11] <WACOMalt> really? That I did not expect to hear!
[04:12] <WACOMalt> well, I just installed ExtBrowser, gotta restart, brb
[04:14] <Tkkoe> Diff is on the mony and the goal
[04:15] <tortib> TJ-: that config does not work for me, it brings down my eth1 interface and causes my network not to work.
[04:16] <tortib> setting my eth1 interface as static from the configuration file also doesn't work
[04:16] <tortib> it doesn't set anything
[04:16] <tortib> it's like it's ignoring the settings in the configuration file for some reason except for the bridge part
[04:16] <TJ-> tortib: I didn't expect you to use mine verbatim! Just use it as an example of how to configure a bridge
[04:17] <tortib> TJ-: i was using it as an EXAMPLE
[04:17] <tortib> i wasn't using it verbatim come on man give me some credit
[04:17] <tortib> i will paste you what i used
[04:17] <WACOMalt> hmm ExtExplorer isnt seeing my drive :/
[04:17] <TJ-> tortib: OK :)
[04:18] <tortib> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210326/
[04:18] <tortib> ignore the #'s infront of the settings
[04:18] <tortib> i put those there to comment them out
[04:18] <tortib> becuase i can't get online without them there
[04:18] <tortib> eth1 is set by the GUI
[04:18] <tortib> I can't get it to work with the configuration file
[04:18] <tortib> it doesn't set the IPs properly.
[04:21] <tortib> TJ-: if br0 is created my eth1 loses it's ip settings
[04:21] <tortib> eventhough i set them statically in the configuration file...
[04:21] <delinquentme>  grep "ebi\/javascripts\/prototype" -r ./                .. this should recurse through the current dirs subdirs .. and look through all files for the string  "ebi/javascripts/prototype"    right?
[04:22] <TJ-> tortib: do they overlap in any way?
[04:22] <tortib> TJ-: no the eth1 interface uses <IP_ADDRESS>/24 with a gateway of <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:23] <TJ-> tortib: "iface eth0 inet manual" ???
[04:23] <tortib> that was from another config example
[04:23] <tortib> from the openvpn docs on ubuntu
[04:23] <tortib> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/openvpn.html
[04:24] <tortib> ubuntu is a bit retarded for not commenting their configuration files
[04:24] <tortib> it would make life a lot easier
[04:24] <TJ-> tortib: "manual" should be "static"
[04:25] <tortib> when i set eth1 inet static
[04:25] <TJ-> tortib: documentation is always in the man files
[04:25] <tortib> it doens't set the ip
[04:25] <tortib> there is no man page for the interfaces script file...
[04:25] <tortib> oh i guess there is
[04:25] <TJ-> tortib: "man interfaces"
[04:26] <L3top> if it is static... YOU set the ip.
[04:26] <L3top> its static.
[04:26] <tortib> it doesn't take
[04:26] <xrfang> hi, I try to compile exim on my ubuntu 12.04, it requires libdb-dev files, but there are libdb4.8 and libdb5.1 both installed, how can I know which lib is used by the system?
[04:26] <tortib> i have to set it from the GUI
[04:26] <tortib> or else it doesn't work
[04:26] <tortib> just like dhcp
[04:26] <tortib> if i tell it to use dhcp
[04:26] <tortib> in the config file it doesn't take
[04:26] <lauratika> seems sunbird comes now as an add-on for thunderbird but im using another mail service, is there a way to use only sunbird for calendar and stuff without using thunderbird at all?
[04:27] <L3top> what config file are you editing?
[04:27] <mushroomed_> TJ-: Did you found something?
[04:27] <tortib> why aren't the configurations i set in the GUI stored in the configuration file?
[04:27] <tortib> L3top: /etc/network/interfaces
[04:27] <TJ-> L3top: indeed... I think the "manual" came from somewhere that 'meant' "static"...   in fact it should be "dhcp" and drop all the up/down script stuff if there's a DHCP server on the other end of that segment
[04:27] <L3top> tortib: if you edit the file yourself... it tends to break network manager.
[04:28] <andreb> hi all
[04:28] <tortib> when i first edited the file my eth1 was set to dhcp and the configuration file didn't reflect that
[04:28] <TJ-> mushroomed_: ahh there you are! No, I can't find any mention of where to get the headers or recent Linode kernels. You need to ask them. They have the IRC channel #linode on the OFTC IRc network where you can ask
[04:28] <tortib> L3top: wonderful
[04:28] <mushroomed_> Thanks TJ-! !
[04:28] <andreb> i am upgrading from 10.04 lts to 12.04 lts and its taking long on "geting new packages" 1412 of 1423 (for teh last 20 minutes) ... i am using the alternate cd to upgrade
[04:28] <andreb> any ideas y ?
[04:28] <TJ-> tortib: basically, Network Manager will ignore any interface you have an entry for in 'interfaces' since it assumes you don't want your settings messed with
[04:28] <L3top> tortib: well... this is because it uses a different file... and the interfaces file overrides that.
[04:29] <blackshirt> andreb, are you upgrading using cd ?
[04:29] <andreb> yes
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> andreb: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[04:29] <cfhowlett> andreb: do the installation offline then upgrade your packages.
[04:29] <tortib> L3top: let me set my IP to static in the interfaces file first to see if that works without breaking
[04:29] <andreb> i am doign teh isntallation of line and yes i did md5 test the cd
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> andreb: you could've mounted the ISO and used that, no need to burn a CD
[04:30] <andreb> i burned the cd from home and brought it to teh office
[04:30] <andreb> so it could be that teh cd has a scratch or is it normal to take hthat long ?
[04:30] <tortib> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210343/
[04:30] <tortib> does that look correct to all of you?
[04:31] <cfhowlett> andreb: that could do it.  and did you md5sum the iso as ActionParsnip asked?
[04:31] <andreb> yes.. i did
[04:31] <TJ-> tortib: as long as you also have "iface lo inet loopback" and "auto lo"
[04:31] <andreb> hrm.. lket me down the cd on the box an dmoth it then
[04:32] <tortib> TJ-: i do at the top
[04:32] <tortib> auto lo eth0 eth1 br0
[04:32] <tortib> iface lo inet loopback
[04:32] <andreb> ok.. hte fetch file process started over again and stoped at 1412
[04:32] <TJ-> tortib: OK, just checking, since I thought that pastebin was the entire file
[04:32] <andreb> hrm
[04:32] <andreb> let me down it
[04:32] <tortib> no it was just the segment i'm changing
[04:32] <tortib> i want to avoid using the gui for making network changes
[04:32] <L3top> tortib: it must read like auto eth0  /n  iface eth0 inet static  /n  address <IP_ADDRESS>   /n   netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:33] <L3top> for example. /n = line break
[04:33] <TJ-> tortib: without "auto ethX" the system won't bring up the interface for you - it'll expect you to do it yourself
[04:33] <tortib> okay
[04:33] <tortib> it worked
[04:33] <tortib> it changed the IP
[04:33] <tortib> like i wanted
[04:34] <FloodBot1> tortib: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:34] <tortib> now how do i get the bridge to work?
[04:34] <tortib> I did flood?
[04:34] <tortib> didn't*
[04:34] <TJ-> tortib: see, what I don't get is, in your original pastebin, you had "eth0" defined but you were trying to create a bridge with just "eth1" - where is eth1 ?
[04:34] <tortib> it was 4 lines
[04:34] <mushroomed_> Hey TJ-
[04:34] <TJ-> mushroomed_: ?
[04:34] <mushroomed_> They told me this "All of our newer kernels are compiled from vanilla kernel.org sources. You can get the kernel from there and check your /proc/config.gz file to check any configuration options you may need to see."
[04:34] <cfhowlett> tortib: dude.  you're arguing with the bot ...
[04:35] <mushroomed_> TJ-: Then, what should I do?
[04:35] <TJ-> mushroomed_: that makes sense... but strictly they are breaking the GNU GPL because if they distribute they must offer the sources themselves, not just palm you off to some other location!
[04:35] <tortib> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210349/   there is the WHOLE file
[04:35] <tortib> in all it's glory
[04:36] <tortib> if I try to /etc/init.d/networking restart it will break my network
[04:36] <tortib> eth1 will go down and lose its ip
[04:36] <tortib> and br0 will be created with the ip i specified
[04:36] <CompuTom> Need help installing printer. Any takers?
[04:36] <cfhowlett> CompuTom: whatchu got
[04:37] <TJ-> mushroomed_: Best thing to do is install the 'git' version control system and clone the mainline kernel source. "sudo apt-get install git" followed by (in your home directory) "git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git"
[04:37] <CTLwm> CompuTom: which printer are you installing? is it an AIO?
[04:37] <tortib> i'll brb
[04:38] <tortib> please say my name if you reply to me i'll be able to read them when i get back
[04:38] <CompuTom> HP Laserjet3100 multifunction. I got the specific HP-LIP for this printer, but when I get to the setup phase the option to use parallel port is greyed out. All I need to use is the printer.
[04:38] <TJ-> mushroomed_: However, that doesn't help too much when you want the kernel headers to build against on a standard Ubuntu installation
[04:38] <cfhowlett> CompuTom: have you installed hplib?
[04:39] <CompuTom> yes, no errors.
[04:39] <mushroomed_> TJ-: Will I have problems doing that? I don't want to break anything
[04:40] <TJ-> tortib: Still not sure why you only have one interface in the bridge, or why you list "auto eth0" when there is no 'eth0' defined
[04:41] <TJ-> mushroomed_: I think it'll make things unduly complicated for you if you're not experience at this stuff. What is it you need the kernel headers for?
[04:42] <mushroomed_> TJ-: I want to mount an Asterisk + FreePBX server
[04:45] <TJ-> mushroomed_: Linode's docs on that are out of date I think, too. http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Asterisk
[04:46] <solofight> linux
[04:47] <TJ-> mushroomed_: have you seen this? http://library.linode.com/communications/voip-services
[04:47] <CompuTom> cfhowlett-I used HP-Lip-3.12.9 and everything went without error. Then I must restart and finish with hp-setup command in terminal. That starts OK but no option to use parallel port, only USB or WiFi or network.
[04:48] <mushroomed_> TJ-: I'll read it, thanks.
[04:48] <solofight> people - i want to migrate from one machine to another running ubuntu - how can i transfer all my data with applications installed ?
[04:48] <solofight> is it even possible first of all ?
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> !clone
[04:48] <cfhowlett> CompuTom: so you've got partial functionality.  If HP hasn't released the driver for that model and it's an open source backward engineering product, I'd suspect the work is incomplete.
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> solofight: sure
[04:48] <cfhowlett> CompuTom: but quite possibly the best you're likely to get.
[04:48] <solofight> ActionParsnip: hwo to ?
[04:49] <solofight> how*
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> solofight: read what ubottu said....
[04:49] <solofight> ActionParsnip: i want to thank you for helping out to solve the upgradation issue - i changed archives.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com in source file
[04:49] <gowie> I uninstalled Chrome v.18 to install the latest version (21 i think), but now I'm running into problems because I accidently installed the 32 bit version. It keeps telling me when i try and install the 64 bit version with dpkg -i chrome.deb that I have it already installed. I tried removing the old version with the --remove and --purge flag and it seems to be gone, so I don't know whats going on. Is there some way of completely getting
[04:49] <gowie> rid of the bad install that I missed? Any suggestions?
[04:49] <solofight> and i was able to upgrade to the next version (though not the latest one)
[04:50] <CompuTom> cfhowlett: thank you.
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> solofight: np dude
[04:50] <mushroomed_> TJ-: See this answer from Linode Support ==> http://cl.ly/image/0U3N3R3h2h1W
[04:50] <cfhowlett> CompuTom: don't take my word.  Ask in channel again
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> gowie: if you installed the chrome deb, you added the google repo and you'll get an update
[04:51] <CompuTom> cfhowlett: is this the best place to ask?
[04:51] <cfhowlett> yep
[04:51] <solofight> ActionParsnip: thats for packages - what about my data ?
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> gowie: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy google*
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> solofight: use your backups
[04:52] <gowie> ActionParsnip I think its in a half install state and I dont think it will be able to do that.
[04:52] <Nautilus> i'm backing up my 10.04 system, already have /home backed up, but wonder which other root dirs I do/don't need to backup.  It's a LAMP stack dev machine so I know I've edited stuff in /etc, but other than that I'm unsure what's important (aka user) stuff
[04:52] <solofight> ActionParsnip: i dont have one
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> solofight: what if the drive suddenly dies, where is your data?
[04:52] <solofight> I have access to two machines now need to replicate the data from on to another
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> solofight: you can use rsync to copy the data over, or just do a copy / paste as you exist
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> *expect
[04:53] <gowie> ActionParsnip Doing so now.
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> gowie: use http://pastie.org or similar to host the output :)
[04:54] <solofight> ActionParsnip: ok - while installing a new operating system - i heard that thre is a specific format which you install which will let you copy the home directory or something when you want to move to another machine with your complete set of softwares and data
[04:54] <solofight> is it true ?
[04:54] <TJ-> mushroomed_: It's probably not worth arguing but I think the FSF would say different :)
[04:54] <solofight> like /username/softwares; /username/data
[04:54] <mushroomed_> TJ-: I'm surprised with their answer
[04:55] <gowie> ActionParsnip Alright this is what I got: http://pastebin.com/Jqf0B1nC
[04:55] <kanliot> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[04:55] <kanliot> solofight,
[04:55] <solofight> so i copy the directory /username and put it in the new machine all the installed softwares along with data is there in new machine
[04:55] <solofight> ?
[04:55] <solofight> kanliot: yes
[04:57] <TJ-> mushroomed_: So am I. You rent the VPS instance and choose what to install in it. If you get the kernel from Linode, then they are distributing. I suggest a friendly email to Chris (he has always seemed like a nice guy to me when I've had dealings with him) copied to the FSF, might help
[04:57] <tortib> TJ-: eth0 exists on the server but isn't in use.
[04:57] <tortib> TJ-: that shouldn't bring my network down when i rerun the init.d script for networking to create br0
[04:58] <TJ-> tortib: As it isn't mentioned in 'interfaces' then Network Manager may well take over that interface
[04:58] <tortib> i can remove eth0 if it makes you happy but it's not going to solve my problem
[04:58] <mushroomed_> TJ-: Who's Chris?
[04:58] <TJ-> tortib: why do you re-run the init.d script? that will pull down existing interfaces since it will be doing a 'restart' which is a 'stop' followed by a 'start'
[04:59] <TJ-> mushroomed_: Chris Akers - the guy that set-up Linode
[04:59] <tortib> TJ-: what should I do then to bring up br0
[04:59] <Beast1> ciao
[04:59] <tortib> TJ-: there i removed eth0 from auto
[05:00] <TJ-> tortib: "sudo ifup br0" or "sudo ifdown br0" - however, as it is set to auto, it should be started automatically at boot
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> gowie: ok and the output of:  dpkg -l | grep google      Thanks
[05:04] <tort|b> TJ-: you're missing my point completely
[05:05] <tort|b> brining up the br0 interface takes my network DOWN
[05:05] <tort|b> eth1 goes DOWN
[05:05] <tortib> i just did ifup br0 and it broke my network
[05:05] <tortib> then i have to comment out the settings in interfaces and reboot the server
[05:05] <tortib> in order to get back online quickly
[05:06] <TJ-> tortib: well it will! you can't an IP assigned to an interface, and then bridge that interface. The IP is assigned to the bridge! the interfaces in the bridge do not have IPs
[05:06] <Nautilus> i'm backing up before an upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 and trying to determine which folders I absolutely don't need to backup.  For starters I think these include: bin, boot, "cdrom" (just a symlink?), and dev.  ANY reason I might have stuff to save in those?
[05:07] <TJ-> tortib: A bridge is a layer-2 joining on multiple ethernet segments
[05:07] <tortib> I see
[05:07] <tortib> so how can I fix this
[05:07] <nsaquatics> nautilus... clone the HD and upgrade the clone... then if you lost some thing just pull it off of the old disk....my 2 cents.
[05:07] <tortib> just assign the 192 address to the br0 interface?
[05:07] <gowie> http://pastebin.com/UCgNYKaS
[05:07] <tortib> and use that as my interface to connect?
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> Nautilus: just backup all the files in $HOME (including hidden ones) and /etc folder
[05:08] <Nautilus> nsaquatics: most people said dont try the upgrade, do it clean.  Still, I'm trying to make a good backup
[05:08] <TJ-> tortib: yes
[05:08] <tortib> TJ-: i'm doing this becuase i want openvpn to try to connect to my LAN
[05:08] <tortib> TJ-: so i set the gateway on the br0 interface?
[05:09] <Nautilus> ActionParsnip: OK you caught a good one there, I use the box as a dev LAMP stack and know I need some stuff from /etc
[05:09] <TJ-> tortib: yes, then your openvpn script can add the new tap interface to br0
[05:09] <tortib> i use tun
[05:09] <tortib> not tap
[05:10] <tortib> TJ-: so i would set the interface in the openvpn configuration file to br0 ?
[05:10] <Nautilus> ActionParsnip: Other dirs I dont -think- I need are niitrd, lib, lost-found, media, mnt, opt, proc, root, sbin, selinux, srv, sys, tmp ... see any there I should wonder about?
[05:11] <Nautilus> initrd*
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> Nautilus: those are generated by the installer, so no need to backup those
[05:12] <TJ-> tortib: no, you'd have an if-up script for the tap interface that calls "brctl" to add the tap interface to br0
[05:12] <Nautilus> ActionParsnip: last two then ... usr, var
[05:12] <TJ-> tortib: and a related script for if-down to remove the tap interface from the bridge
[05:12] <TJ-> tortib: I'm pretty sure openvpn package comes with (example) scripts for that, or has docs about it
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> Nautilus: those are made by the installer
[05:13] <TJ-> tortib: e.g. "brctl addif <brname> <ifname>"
[05:14] <Nautilus> ActionParsnip: yea but caught ya on one there, I know I put a program in /usr.  Not that I need to back it up, but the box is >2yo and I don't remember everything I did!  So, I'm being pedantic and thanks for your help with it :)
[05:14] <tortib> TJ-: I think my problem is my bridge mode wont work because i only have one ethernet device connecting to the network
[05:15] <tortib> so i'm only bridging eth1
[05:15] <tortib> so i wont have a seperate port for WAN
[05:15] <tortib> Just one port for LAN
[05:16] <TJ-> tortib: the number of ports on the bridge won't matter. But you might want to set the default gateway for the bridge so you can route to the WAN over layer 3 (IP)
[05:18] <tortib> TJ-: so something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210390/
[05:18] <tortib> woops forgot the bridge eth1 part
[05:18] <tortib> bridge_ports eth1
[05:18] <Nautilus> ActionParsnip: To put it another way, I have home, etc, usr and var in the backup now.  Any of those other folders I might backup "just in case"?  I don't think so but hate to find out later I made an oops
[05:18] <tortib> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210392/
[05:19] <gowie> ActionParsnip Did you get that last link? I forgot to include your name...
[05:19] <tortib> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210392/
[05:20] <TJ-> tortib: Yes, I think that should work, as long as Network Manager doesn't get hold of eth0 (if it has a cable plugged in!)
[05:20] <drupin> error when getting information for the file /home/drupin/.gvfs': Transport endpoint is not connected
[05:20] <drupin> http://bit.ly/U2GVfh will this work out
[05:21] <tortib> eth0 does not have a cable plugged in
[05:21] <tortib> only eth1
[05:21] <tortib> let me restart networking and see what it does
[05:22] <tortib_> TJ-: it worked
[05:23] <tortib_> TJ-: but it broke ipv6
[05:23] <tortib_> TJ-: any idea how to get it working WITH ipv6 ?
[05:24] <tortib_> # ip -6 r 2001:470:d:1eb::/64 dev eth1  proto kernel  metric 256  expires 85982sec 2001:470:d:1eb::/64 dev br0  proto kernel  metric 256  expires 86300sec
[05:24] <tortib_> it added two routes
[05:25] <tortib_> deleting one or the other doesn't seem to help
[05:25] <tortib_> oh there is a default via
[05:25] <tortib_> hrmp
[05:26] <tortib_> TJ-: got it to work
[05:26] <tortib_> deleted the eth1 default route for ipv6 and now it's routing again
[05:26] <tortib_> so now i have a interface called br0
[05:26] <tortib_> that's really eth1
[05:26] <tortib_> layer 2
[05:27] <tortib_> TJ-: now how do i setup openvpn to use br0 so i can connect to my LAN when I connect to OpenVPN?
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> gowie: didn't get the 2nd link
[05:27] <rmccue> Afternoon all. I'm attempting to run Ubuntu in live CD mode off my USB, but I don't get a "Try Ubuntu" option
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> gowie: nm, got it
[05:28] <cfhowlett> rmccue: did you md5sum your iso?
[05:28] <balinha> has anyone had any success getting tinychat to work?
[05:29] <kanliot> miore likely rmccue either downloaded the alternate, or the usb installer like unetbootin mangled the install options
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> gowie: gimme a sec, let me search
[05:30] <rmccue> cfhowlett: I can't find any sum to compare it to, but I have MD5 (ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso) = 07823292fdc32967673d1f8a03c82df5
[05:30] <rmccue> kanliot: I downloaded the ISO via the download page as per the live CD page instructions
[05:31] <cfhowlett> rmccue: go the download page and you'll find the checksums.  Compare.
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> gowie: http://pastie.org/4736173
[05:31] <rmccue> cfhowlett: I can't find them listed anywhere.
[05:32] <kanliot> what does it look liike when you boot the livecd

[05:33] <rmccue> Ah, I'll try redownloading, thanks
[05:33] <rmccue> Where the hell is that linked from?
[05:33] <Deutopia> Install
[05:33] <rmccue> Deutopia: Trying to run as a live CD, not actually install it
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> rmccue: I got it on the web...
[05:33] <Deutopia> once the installer loads, quit. you will be in linux
[05:34] <rmccue> ActionParsnip: Shouldn't it be linked from the download page?
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> rmccue: no idea, never used it. I guess so
[05:34] <pickledeggs> Hi, how can I add resolution options for my display? I only have the option for 640x480.
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> pickledeggs: what GPU are you using?
[05:34] <pickledeggs> nvidia
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> pickledeggs: did you install the proprietary video driver?
[05:35] <pickledeggs> geforce 630m
[05:36] <pickledeggs> i downloaded the bumble bee driver
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> pickledeggs: oh, its a hybrid gpu thing?
[05:36] <tortib_> TJ-: I get this error when I try to run brctl $BR $TUN
[05:36] <tortib_> can't add tun0 to bridge br0: Invalid argument
[05:37] <TJ-> tortib: that's correct. the vpn needs to be a TAP to be bridged. a TUN is an IP tunnel, not an Ethernet tap
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> pickledeggs: may help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics   I've never seen a success with dual gpus (intel/nvidia etc)
[05:37] <tortib_> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/openvpn.html
[05:37] <drupin> is AMD Atholon 64 3200+ a 64 bit processor?
[05:37] <tortib_> i'm following that guide
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> drupin: yes
[05:38] <pickledeggs> ActionParsnip, I actually believe you were helping me on launchpad, and the driver seems to be working and in fact i installed a new kernel which fixed the crashing
[05:38] <tortib_> okay so change it to tap gotcha
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> drupin: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Athlon%2064%203200+%20-%20ADA3200AEP4AX%20(ADA3200AXBOX).html
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> pickledeggs: the commands there may help, if you can disable a GPU in some way it will help.
[05:40] <drupin> ohh know i have 32 bit Unbuntu i loaded... ActionParsnip
[05:40] <drupin> my bad..
[05:40] <random_> Hi, im having problems setting up duel monitors for my ubuntu, the monitor is both shown in displays and nvidia settings, but it wont turn the other display on. can anyone be of help?
[05:41] <pickledeggs> ActionParsnip, is there a way to just add the resolutions with scripts?
[05:42] <drupin> ActionParsnip: is 64 bit faster...
[05:42] <drupin> i nnedd to put on torrent now
[05:42] <drupin> but how come it shows x86
[05:44] <aeon-ltd> drupin: 64bit has it's advantages (is it faster? right now not by much, but being able to access more than 3gb of ram even without the speed gains is good enough), x86 is 32bit. to find out if your cpu is 64bit capable you'll need to google it
[05:44] <drupin> ok aeon-ltd
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> drupin: for certain tasks yes, for normal desktop stuff then no
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> pickledeggs: you can mess with xrandr
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> drupin: you will need the 64bit ISO to get 64bit OS)
[05:47] <pickledeggs> ActionParsnip, Will messing with xrand make the options for higher resolution permanent?
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> pickledeggs: you can add a command to run after login etc, dual GPUs is a real mess in Linux
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> pickledeggs: its best to just avoid it
[05:53] <gowie> ActionParsnip Hey man that worked. Thanks a ton. Straight superman.
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> gowie: np dude, its one of the weaknesses ni package based distros but its fixable
[05:55] <gowie> ActionParsnip Well thanks again. Have a good one
[05:55] <Hatori> hey
[05:56] <random_> Anyone able to help me with 2 monitors on gnome classic, nvidia ?
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> random_: nvidia-settings should help you set that up
[05:58] <f00dMonsta> need help with ubuntu and my wireless network card <_<
[05:58] <random_> ActionParsnip, i enable everything to how it should be, and then just get, if i put my mouse on the right side of my main monitor, it just scroll the desktop over, and makes a grey area, and it wont turn my monitor on. idk whats going on.
[05:58] <f00dMonsta> it keeps saying my wirelss is disabled by the hardware switch
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> random_: if you hit the identify button a few times, does it turn on?
[05:59] <Ascavasaion> Good morning, I have returned with more questions.  Why do I keep getting flash player out of date errors in Chromium when I have just run an update and flashplayer-installer was updated?
[05:59] <random_> ActionParsnip, Nope, But, it has the monitor name and size and resolution known. i
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list; dmesg | grep -i firm
[06:00] <random_> ActionParsnip, i've plugged in and out the monitor, and rebooted with no luck
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> Ascavasaion: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'     Thanks
[06:01] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip:  http://pastebin.com/PENVXSpF

[06:02] <Kartagis> hi
[06:03] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip:  It was working before, then I restarted and it stopped working... I did this fix before and it worked, but not it doesn't work anymore: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/ilug-tvm/F5c9yHI2b_Y
[06:03] <f00dMonsta> now*
[06:03] <Kartagis> what must I do to avoid shockwave flash keeping crashing on chromium?
[06:03] <f00dMonsta> don't use flash? :P
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> Ascavasaion: if you are using Chrome you can uninstall flashplugin-installer and get flash as it is already in the browser
[06:04] <Kartagis> f00dMonsta: I don't use it, the sites I visit do
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: Shockwave don't own flash now, it's Adobe
[06:05] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip: I am using Chromium.
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: do you dual boot the system?
[06:05] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: but the message I get tells me shockwave
[06:05] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip: Do you advise me to uninstall Chromium and install Chrome instead?
[06:05] <f00dMonsta> I don't am I'm actually trying to remove grub as well
[06:05] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip:  I don't am I'm actually trying to remove grub as well
[06:05] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip:  I don't and* I'm actually trying to remove grub as well
[06:06] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip:  but I have a removable drive plugged in that has Windows7 on it
[06:06] <Kartagis> Ascavasaion: do you have my issue as well?
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> Ascavasaion: ah, then uninstall the flashplugin-installer package and enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin. Natty is EOL next month so you may want to consider updating
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: ok does the system have a make and model?
[06:07] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip: kay, thank you.
[06:07] <f00dMonsta> Lenovo Z570
[06:10] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip: Lenovo Ideapad Z570
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: tried Fn + F% ?
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> Fn + F5
[06:13] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: if I enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin as well, will my problem be fixed?
[06:13] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip:  yes... and tried flipping the physical switch for wifi/bluetooth
[06:13] <Kartagis> I hate to not use Chromium
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: should be ok, works for 64bit OS too as it installs 64bit flash
[06:14] <BlackWeb> Does anyone know if theres a way to have it to where it'll remember various port numbers to where if you ssh into a computer it'll remember the port numbers for each host
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: also try:  sudo rfkill unlock all
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: also try:  sudo rfkill unblock all
[06:14] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip:  tried that before, and just tried again. Still no :<
[06:16] <f00dMonsta> ActionParsnip: should I try to reboot without the Windows7 Drive plugged in?
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: worth a shot
[06:17] <f00dMonsta> ok brb
[06:17] <ejo> What to make of a 'configure' script that finds gcc (as it should), but then errors out saying that it could not find a suitable C++ compiler to build the package?
[06:18] <ejo> I just grabbed the source for pgAdmin3 v1.16.0 and wanted to compile from source because the ubuntu repository is only up to 1.14.0 which is not ready for the now-released postgresql-9.2
[06:19] <random_> ActionParsnip,  Tried a few more things...and im getting no where. :/ do you have any ideas, cause i dont :(
[06:24] <f00dMonsta> heh... This is wierd
[06:24] <f00dMonsta> It's working now
[06:24] <f00dMonsta> but only after 3 restarts
[06:24] <f00dMonsta> 1st restart: Unplugged removable drive... didn't work
[06:25] <f00dMonsta> 2nd restart: tried "sudo rfkill unblock all"... didnt' work
[06:25] <f00dMonsta> 3rd restart: changed boot sequence in bios to point to primary hard drive first instead of "ubuntu" (which I assume means grub loader).... works
[06:26] <f00dMonsta> oh ActionParsnip not here
[06:26] <Deutopia> he'll be back im sure
[06:34] <random_> i now get RANDR is not present when i go to  Settings > display. and my nvidia settings dosnt even let me hit apply on turning on my second display. i dont know whats going on. why cant i use two monitors? this is the first time this has happened to me
[06:34] <Joebeezy10> seems like 64 bit ubuntu works way better
[06:37] <random_> i really would like to get this fixed :/ ...
[06:37] <random_> i have two monitors, and only can use one
[06:38] <VinnyAtaide> how can I hard format from the terminal? I want my system crystal clear without any partitions.
[06:39] <random_> Just use a live ubuntu disk and use gparted to delete all the partitions
[06:39] <Joebeezy10> whats a good torrent application
[06:39] <Ascavasaion> Joebeezy10: transmission-gtk
[06:39] <ejo> random_: what have you tried so far, I came in late
[06:39] <cfhowlett> Joebeezy10: transmission
[06:39] <robotti^_> I am using transmission-qt
[06:40] <Joebeezy10> if i format a drive to linux swap will that improve anything for me
[06:41] <fidel> Joebeezy10: i like transmission or deluge
[06:41] <random_> ejo, Well i use to be able to go into Settings > Display, and turn my other monitor on, but the monitor would not go on, but now i get a RANDR is not present error, and it crashes, i use to be able to go into nvidia-settings and enable my other monitor there, but still, it didnt turn the monitor on, and now i can even hit the apply button for it, im not sure what to do
[06:41] <fidel> Joebeezy10: or rtorrent for cli
[06:41] <VinnyAtaide> I have another question. My grub is invisible on the graphics mode. How can I turn it to text-mode? the solutions from the internet are quite outdated
[06:41] <Joebeezy10> what would formatting a drive to linux swap do for my system
[06:43] <ejo> random_: I'm on ATI rather than Nvidia so I won't be able to go the full distance with you, but there are a few possibilities.  One is if you're trying to use Xinerama and shouldn't be (or vice versa)... another is you might need to just remove your drivers and reinstall them
[06:43] <random_> ejo, i saved the xorg.conf and rebooted, re-installed my driver, plugged in and out my monitor, nothing will turn my second monitor on.   However you WILL get it working for dual.  You should see what I went through to attempt triple on two cards.  Not possible for now.
[06:47] <Oimel1987> Hello,
[06:47] <Oimel1987> The temperature of my graficcard ist too high (72°). I use a Nvidia GTX460M and 2 Monitors with extended Desktop Mode. What can i do the temperature colder ?
[06:47] <blackshirt> rob_p_ : thanks you .. :D I'm verry happy :D
[06:47] <ejo> random_: have you tried the nvidia on linux support channel?  (i don't know the exact name).  The similar one for ATI helped me more than this ubuntu channel by far.
[06:48] <random_> ejo,  i would, if i knew the channel
[06:49] <ejo> Oimel1987: ideally you add another internal fan blowing on it.  The other option is look for a proprietary driver that lets you manually adjust the video card internal fan speed :|
[06:49] <ejo> random_: surely you'll find it via google if you're persistent.  Also, Sunday in the middle of North American night is not exactly the high point of IRC traffic.
[06:50] <Blue1> indeed
[06:50] <random_> ejo, yea indeed, well right now im trying to fix my Randr is not present error :/
[06:50] <tortib> is anyone here familiar with setting up OpenVPN?
[06:51] <tortib> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/openvpn.html
[06:51] <tortib> i'm following that and running into problems
[06:51] <tortib> I get an error unroutable control packet received from (my ip address)
[06:51] <rob_p_> tortib: Bridged or routed?
[06:51] <tortib> bridged
[06:52] <ejo> random_: if I remember correctly, xrandr is just not up to date for linux currently, and for some time... it will be great when/if they get the two back together but in the meantime I think a "randr not present" error means you just went the wrong way
[06:52] <tortib> rob_p_: bridged
[06:52] <rob_p_> tortib: So your bridging scripts probably needs some work...
[06:52] <tortib> it's pretty simple
[06:52] <Oimel1987> ejo: This notebook is really well cooled on Windows before. Under Windows there are no temperature problems. My Notebook is the G73jW and this has 2 very big fans on the left and right back. The Notebook under Ubuntu is also much louder than in Windows. So i think there must be a driver problem or something else. I don't believe that there is so much grafical using of the unity desktop that the grafic card must run under hot temperat
[06:52] <tortib> let me paste it for you
[06:52] <Oimel1987> ures
[06:52] <Oimel1987> not this kind of grafic card
[06:53] <tortib> rob_p_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210502/
[06:53] <Ascavasaion> Is there a way to update from 11.04 to 12.04, without first going through 11.10?  I have tried both LTS and normal release update notification in update-manager.
[06:53] <cfhowlett> Ascavasaion: nope
[06:53] <ejo> Oimel1987: oh i see, it's a laptop.  Well... the problem is most likely due to driver differences... it's quite possible that they have a higher-performance driver for it in Windows that always runs its cooling fans higher.
[06:53] <cfhowlett> Ascavasaion: clean install 12.04 for best results
[06:53] <Ascavasaion> cfhowlett: What a terrible waste of time, and my monthly cap limit :(
[06:54] <tortib> rob_p_: the /etc/openvpn/server.conf looks like this
[06:54] <ejo> < agree with clean install for best results... just have your data safe on a separate drive
[06:54] <random_> ejo, it was working before i stared messing with this stuff lol
[06:54] <tortib> rob_p_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1210503/
[06:54] <Oimel1987> ejo: So I'll have to wait till there is a better driver for this grafic card or to change back to fuckin windows ?
[06:54] <cfhowlett> Ascavasaion: install update LTS only is something to consider
[06:54] <ejo> random_: that probably indicates that solutions similar to reinstalling stuff and cleaning out configs will be best.
[06:54] <rob_p_> Oops... gotta run. I'm actually at work!  If I get some time, I'll be back later.  But I have some bridging script examples that I use successfully on my servers.
[06:55] <tortib> rob_p_: ugh
[06:55] <rob_p_> tortib: Oops... gotta run. I'm actually at work!  If I get some time, I'll be back later.  But I have some bridging script examples that I use successfully on my servers.
[06:55] <random_> ejo, yea thanks for the help
[06:55] <Ascavasaion> cfhowlett: I did that, it will not let me update to 12.04 from 11.04.  I have even tried a sudo do-release-upgrade and nothing.
[06:55] <nawk> which repo has the kernel-sources package?
[06:55] <ejo> Oimel1987: I'm not convinced that 72C is going to kill your card... mine was fine for three years of hard daily use at 78
[06:56] <ejo> Oimel1987: but you should check with an nvidia-on-linux interest group for specifics on this, maybe they have an easy solution.
[06:56] <cfhowlett> Ascavasaion: you cannot update from 11.04 to 12.04.  NOPE.  You can and should clean install 12.04.  then update from LTS to LTS i.e. 14.04
[06:56] <ejo> Oimel1987: same as I was telling random_ here
[06:56] <cfhowlett> Ascavasaion: 11.04 is NOT LTS.
[06:56] <tortib> anyone else know how to use openvpn with bridging?
[06:56] <Joebeezy10> cant believe someone told me 64 bit version wasnt faster
[06:57] <Oimel1987> Ejo: where can i find a group like that ?
[06:57] <Ascavasaion> cfhowlett: Oh, okay, thank you.
[06:57] <ejo> Oimel1987: I don't know because I am an ATI/AMD user.  But there certainly is such a group and it must have an IRC and mailing list.
[06:58] <ejo> Joebeezy10: they were probably stuck in 2008
[06:58] <Oimel1987> Ejo: ok then i will search the channel lists up to an group like that. Thank you
[06:58] <ejo> good luck Oimel1987
[06:58] <random_> Oimel1987, is that to hot? like most nvidia stuff you dont ahve to worry bout till 80+
[07:04] <Ya-User> hi all how send bit in the pin lpt?
[07:05] <d1rkp1tt> Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me diagnose an issue in ubuntu 12.4 .. I was browsing a windows share and moving a file when I lost and was unable to re-establish the connection. Since then, its no longer showing the server when I click network locations, and wont browse to the server. Note, nothing changed in between on either box that I know of, and I have control of both machines
[07:05] <d1rkp1tt> I am not sure where to look for logs... samba logs are empty
[07:06] <cfhowlett> d1rkp1tt: router reset??
[07:06] <d1rkp1tt> negative
[07:06] <d1rkp1tt> VM
[07:06] <d1rkp1tt> VM on the host, cant browse to a share on the host
[07:07] <d1rkp1tt> BUT, could ... before transfering a file
[07:08] <d1rkp1tt> Have rebooted ubuntu but it still fails now
[07:10] <ejo> bah... i installed pgAdmin3 v1.16.0 from source, and I still get 1.14.0
[07:13] <lr> hi
[07:13] <cfhowlett> lr: greetings
[07:14] <d1rkp1tt> hmm I think samba has failed and service is not running
[07:16] <d1rkp1tt> actually I dont think samba is installed
[07:16] <d1rkp1tt> Is it not in 12.4?
[07:18] <fidel> d1rkp1tt: how about just asking your paketmanagement if it is?
[07:19] <fidel> apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME will show if its installed and if so which version
[07:19] <d1rkp1tt> well unless I have the name wrong
[07:19] <d1rkp1tt> its not installed
[07:20] <d1rkp1tt> My question was more about whether it was supposed to be...
[07:20] <d1rkp1tt> or if it has been deprecated
[07:20] <d1rkp1tt> removed..
[07:20] <fidel> samba isnt installed out of the box
[07:20] <d1rkp1tt> is there an alternative?
[07:20] <fidel> but avalable via apt as always
[07:21] <d1rkp1tt> Something is installed thats not working, and I want to diagnose that
[07:21] <d1rkp1tt> nautilus?
[07:21] <blackshirt> d1rkp1tt: I think samba was available
[07:21] <timfrost> !info samba
[07:21] <d1rkp1tt> it is available, but.................. I want to fix what is already there rather than adding more software if I dont need it
[07:22] <timfrost> d1rkp1tt: what is the problem?
[07:23] <d1rkp1tt> Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me diagnose an issue in ubuntu 12.4 .. I was browsing a windows share and moving a file when I lost and was unable to re-establish the connection. Since then, its no longer showing the server when I click network locations, and wont browse to the server. Note, nothing changed in between on either box that I know of, and I have control of both machines
[07:23] <d1rkp1tt> My original message..
[07:23] <d1rkp1tt> Its a VM to host
[07:23] <blackshirt> d1rkp1tt: describe why not working
[07:24] <blackshirt> oh, it's a vm
[07:26] <timfrost> d1rkp1tt: is it VMware or virtualbox, or something else?  And do you have the latest tools (vmware-toolbox for VMware, or the equivalent) installed in the VM?
[07:26] <d1rkp1tt> vmware
[07:26] <d1rkp1tt> 9.1
[07:26] <d1rkp1tt> Actually, I dont think I installed vmware toolbox, but it was working....
[07:27] <d1rkp1tt> Will give that a shot, and might just bite the bullet and install samba
[07:31] <dywayne> what up
[07:32] <timfrost> d1rkp1tt: If it is a local VM in  player or workstation, you should be OK if you can enable drag-and-drop between the VM and your host.  I have workstation, so am not sure how to enable drag-and-drop in player.  But you don't need samba if drag-and-drop works
[07:46] <rcfgx> What would happen if, in the middle of copying a large file to a usb drive, the drive were unplugged, and plugged back in?
[07:46] <TuxOtaku> rcfgx, wouldn't matter
[07:46] <cfhowlett> rcfgx: nothing good
[07:46] <TuxOtaku> the file transfer would stop
[07:46] <TuxOtaku> most likely anyways
[07:47] <Jordan_U> rcfgx: It depends somewhat on what filesystem was being used on the USB drive, but it certainly won't simply continue copying as if nothing happened.
[07:47] <TuxOtaku> if it didn't, then I'd venture a pretty solid guess that whatever you were transferring would be reduced to garbage.
[07:47] <apg> why do not try :D
[07:48] <TuxOtaku> and if you were trying to dd something to the drive...well, congratulations on your purchase of a new paperweight.
[07:48] <apg> if you are curious what would happen :D
[07:48] <rcfgx> Hm...so if it's still copying, then I could safely assume that I didn't turn off the monitor, which is where the drive is plugged in? (embarrassing lapse of memory lol)
[07:48] <rcfgx> this is via cp btw
[07:48] <TuxOtaku> rcfgx, well
[07:48] <TuxOtaku> that's a different story
[07:49] <TuxOtaku> your monitor's USB could be passthrough
[07:49] <TuxOtaku> if it is, then you're fine turning the monitor off
[07:49] <Jordan_U> rcfgx: What does turning off the monitor have to do with file transfers?
[07:49] <rcfgx> it's not passthrough, if i turn it off, it's equivalent to unplugging the drive
[07:49] <Josh> well, I installed cinnamon now I can't do alt+f2
[07:49] <Josh> :[
[07:49] <Jordan_U> rcfgx: Ahh, I understand now.
[07:49] <Josh> What is command for run dialogue?
[07:49] <Josh> so I can make a custom shortcut
[07:50] <TuxOtaku> Josh, apt-get remove cinnamon; apt-get install xubuntu-desktop. ;)
[07:50] <Jordan_U> rcfgx: I think it's safe to assume that, yes. If it's important, you may want to do an md5sum check of the file (though that will take about as long as copying it over again would).
[07:51] <TuxOtaku> yeah I was going to make the same point
[07:51] <TuxOtaku> maybe let it finish copying and then do an md5sum
[07:51] <TuxOtaku> but chances are still good that the data is b0rked,.
[07:51] <sapharoth> Josh, i suppose you might have checked the keyboard shortcuts.
[07:52] <sapharoth> Josh, for cinnamon
[07:52] <rcfgx> hmmm...alright, safer to restart the copy i suppose. thanks fellas
[07:53] <timfrost> rcfgx: you my have to check the integrity of the filesystem as well
[07:53] <Rumino> helloooo
[07:54] <SilfenX> Hm, Does Pangolin come with samba support out of the box or does it require additional software from Software Center?
[07:55] <timfrost> !ask |  Rumino
[07:55] <timfrost> SilfenX: you need to install it
[07:56] <Deutopia> how do i save to a network location in a save as box?
[07:56] <timfrost> !info samba | SilfenX:
[07:56] <SilfenX> timfrost: Ok. Do I do thaty from Software Center or from terminal?
[07:56] <Rumino> an "easy" question?: how can I add a program (like Chrome) to the Ubuntu left bar of icons?
[07:56] <orated> Hello! Is there a channel for sound related queries on Ubuntu?
[07:57] <timfrost> SilfenX: it should be possible from both
[07:57] <SilfenX> I saw there were some samba utlities available in the Software Center, but they installed only half-functional it seem
[07:58] <SilfenX> timfrost: Does it install with a GUI if you install it in a terminal window from desktop?
[07:59] <d1rkp1tt> timfrost, delayed response sorry...  but I want shares running because I vnc the desktop from other machines
[08:00] <timfrost> SilfenX: I don't know, as I don't have samba installed.
[08:00] <SilfenX> timfrost: Ok. Thanks for taking time to answer my questions. Much appreciated.
[08:01] <Josh> TuxOtaku, Why?
[08:01] <Josh> what is standard command for run dialog, the command that executes when you press alt-f2
[08:04] <Josh> well anyone? :{
[08:04] <blackshirt> yes
[08:04] <Josh> :P
[08:05] <Josh> blackshirt, What is command for starting run dialogue
[08:06] <blackshirt> alt+f2
[08:07] <Josh> blackshirt, Command, Not shortcut
[08:08] <blackshirt> oh,sorry :d
[08:08] <blackshirt> sorry for my understood
[08:08] <Josh> ;]
[08:08] <blackshirt> Misunderstood
[08:09] <Rumino> well, I solved it, it was easy: I moved the Chrome icon from de Ubuntu Home Button to the desktop, and then moved it from the Desktop to de left bar
[08:09] <blackshirt> i don't know exactly
[08:10] <timfrost> d1rkp1tt: in that case, you may want to install samba. I can't advise you, as I use drag-and-drop to transfer files to/from the Ubuntu  host for the 1 windows VM I run.
[08:13] <Kartagis> !lamp
[08:14] <timfrost> josh: The dialog that you get from alt-F2 allows you to *type any command* so there is no standard command
[08:14] <d1rkp1tt> FYI
[08:14] <Josh> timfrost, how do you restart gui without that?
[08:14] <d1rkp1tt> http://alan.lamielle.net/2009/09/03/windows-7-nonpaged-pool-srv-error-2017
[08:14] <Josh> d1rkp1tt, for me?
[08:14] <d1rkp1tt> oh sorry, no
[08:15] <mlpokn> Hey :)
[08:15] <d1rkp1tt> others that were reading about my file sharing woes
[08:15] <d1rkp1tt> It looks like its windows 7
[08:15] <mlpokn> How do I get rid of this error message? Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:1844:16: Theming engine 'adwaita' not found: Thanks
[08:15] <Josh> timfrost, I don't have Alt+f2 working currently, since I upgraded to cinnamon
[08:15] <Josh> so How do you restart gui :[
[08:15] <Nikozzzzzz> Hello free people
[08:15] <timfrost> Josh: cinnamon'?
[08:15] <Das-Ziggs> ^ That's debatable depending on the context used
[08:15] <d1rkp1tt> Josh, is your function Lock key on?
[08:15] <Das-Ziggs> >.>
[08:15] <Das-Ziggs> +1
[08:15] <d1rkp1tt> :p
[08:15] <Josh> timfrost, cinnamon
[08:16] <Josh> d1rkp1tt, Function lock huh
[08:16] <d1rkp1tt> cinnamon in linuxmint?
[08:16] <Josh> No
[08:16] <Josh> On ubuntu\
[08:16] <d1rkp1tt> you can turn all your function keys off
[08:16] <d1rkp1tt> sometimes I hit that and scratch my head for a while
[08:16] <d1rkp1tt> .. on some keyboards that is
[08:17] <Josh> d1rkp1tt, I don't have that key
[08:17] <timfrost> Josh: what is cinnamon?
[08:18] <Ascavasaion> If I am doign a dist upgrade... If it is still downloading can I stop it and continue later on?  Or will it start from the beginning again?  Or will it break my system?
[08:18] <Das-Ziggs> Anyway, quick question. Every time I run a full screen application (that sees to use OpenGL or other) my screen messed up and I have to do a hard reset to fix the problem. HAppens both with games running under WINE, and Native Games.
[08:18] <Josh> timfrost, forked version of Gnome 3
[08:18] <Josh> timfrost, http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/
[08:18] <Jordan_U> Josh: We don't support cinnamon here, but you should be able to forcefully restart X (and switch to a supported DE) by pressing alt+sysrq+k.
[08:18] <Das-Ziggs> Ascavasaion, In my experience you can always stop it during it's download procedure, and it'll pick up where it loeft off.
[08:18] <crizis> Josh, gnome-shell, to be exact. not gnome3
[08:18] <Das-Ziggs> I wouldn't advise it, however.
[08:18] <Ascavasaion> Das-Ziggs: Awesome!  Thank you.
[08:19] <Das-Ziggs> Ascavasaion, No worries bro/sis
[08:19] <Josh> Das-Ziggs, bro/sis :D
[08:19] <Das-Ziggs> Josh, >.> Well I don't know, do I? XD
[08:19] <Josh> You do
[08:19] <Josh> :D
[08:19] <Jordan_U> Josh: Or use ctrl+alt+F1 to switch to a text tty, login, and run "sudo service lightdm restart" to do something similar which will allow X to be restarted somewhat more gracefully.
[08:19] <Das-Ziggs> Do I?
[08:19] <Josh> Just google it
[08:19] <Josh> :P
[08:20] <Josh> *drumroll*
[08:20] <Josh> Jordan_U, I'd rather logout :D
[08:20] <Josh> simply
[08:20] <Josh> heh
[08:20] <Das-Ziggs> Huh. A noise group.
[08:25] <os_> hi .. how do i upgrade to ubuntu 12.10 beta ?
[08:26] <enyc> os_: sudo   update-manager -d    maybe?
[08:26] <enyc> os_: obviously, this is risky not reccomneded except for testing  etc etc  presume you know that
[08:27] <enyc> os_: err    sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[08:27] <os_> yeh .. i am doing it in a kvm emulator
[08:27] <Rumino> but, you think that Cynnamon is neccessary?
[08:27] <fidel> os_: and regarding upcoming 12.10 questions -> #ubuntu+1
[08:28] <os_> it can't find the new version
[08:29] <enyc> os_: in which case you can prbably hack it by just changing the /etc/apt/sources.list manually nad doing a  sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:30] <os_> hmm
[08:30] <fidel> os_: check if you defined inside update-manager to check only for lts releases
[08:30] <fidel> this would hide non lts betas
[08:31] <os_> hmm
[08:32] <fidel> hmm's <-- say nothing but eat space ;)
[08:32] <os_> ok
[08:35] <os_> ok thanks i have made it..
[08:37] <Das-Ziggs> So, anyone functional this morning?
[08:40] <virtuaposta> hi everybody...
[08:41] <Das-Ziggs> Mornin' virtuaposta
[08:41] <virtuaposta> Hi Das-Ziggs, I got a question in mind, if is there a way to convert http request into dns query and so that it can be redirected to some other server to respond with
[08:42] <Das-Ziggs> virtuaposta, I have no idea mate. I'm just here, waiting for someone to help me with my little problem XD
[08:43] <virtuaposta> what you stuck in?
[08:43] <tykim> can i install ubuntu in a mac?
[08:44] <virtuaposta> tykim, you can.. take a look at this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick
[08:44] <Das-Ziggs> virtuaposta, Basically, whenever I load a full screen application, such as a game, the screen distorts to the extent where it's unusable. Trying to get to the console (tty1 and the like) works, but the screen is still distorted.
[08:45] <Das-Ziggs> Even by changing the screen resolution to match the application, the same thing happens.
[08:45] <timfrost> !mac |  tykim
[08:46] <virtuaposta> Das-Ziggs, anything interesting in logs?
[08:47] <Das-Ziggs> virtuaposta, >.>
[08:47] <Das-Ziggs> hw 2 access log plx
[08:47] <Das-Ziggs> XP
[08:47] <Das-Ziggs> Horrible language aside, I'm not to sure where the logs for it would be located.
[08:47] <vintuwei>  i have two versions of php installed in my ubuntu vbox, 5.3.10 and 5.4.7. how do i set apache to point to the 5.4.7 which i installed from source?
[08:48] <virtuaposta> nothing in syslog Das-Ziggs ?
[08:49] <tykim> i can only install ubuntu on a mac in small partition? can i have my mac with only ubuntu?
[08:49] <Das-Ziggs> virtuaposta, just looking through the logs now
[08:51] <Das-Ziggs> virtuaposta, Can't seem to find anything relevant to the event. I'll re-produce the problem later and churn through the logs.
[08:51] <Das-Ziggs> Sep 17 08:31:49 E-V-A-2 kernel: [    0.000000] EFI: mem235: type=7, attr=0xf, range=[0x000000000a0e8000-0x000000000a0f4000) (0MB)

[08:51] <Das-Ziggs> ^ Got alot of those though
[08:52] <sig_wall> those are information messages
[08:52] <Das-Ziggs> Gotcha.
[09:12] <r00t_> Hey guys. Does anyone know if the unified kernel can be loaded into the newest release of ubuntu?
[09:13] <r00t_> Hello?
[09:15] <SilfenX> Where is the "GO" button/control to access nework under Pangolin?
[09:15] <namoamitabuddha> Hi, guys!
[09:15] <SilfenX> "Having done this you should now be able to select ‘GO > Network’ from the desktop menu and view your entire Windows and Linux based network."
[09:15] <namoamitabuddha> I have a problem about my wireless connection.
[09:16] <namoamitabuddha> Mine is a PEAP.
[09:16] <auronandace> SilfenX: where are you reading that?
[09:16] <namoamitabuddha> I cannot connect to the wireless using network-manager, but I have a configuration file for wpa_supplicant
[09:16] <namoamitabuddha> I don't know the defect.
[09:16] <SilfenX> auronandace: http://www.sitepoint.com/ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin-file-sharing-with-samba/
[09:16] <namoamitabuddha> Can anybody help me?
[09:17] <Evil[1]> Hi, I got a little question... Does Ubuntu (or to be true, the mint derivate of it) support nVidia Optimus stuff out of the box? I've read there are many problems...
[09:18] <karthick1987> How to fix this error ?? "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)"
[09:18] <Deutopia> close software center or synaptic if they are open
[09:18] <karthick1987> They are not open
[09:19] <karthick1987> Deutopia ^ ^
[09:20] <SilfenX> auronandace: I found it - but I need to have a filemanager/explorer open to get that menu
[09:20] <auronandace> SilfenX: oh, well done
[09:20] <solofight> people am trying to install ubuntu - in the partition creation page, how much size to assign for which mount point ?
[09:21] <SilfenX> From there I can see all the windows machines in the network but not the other way around, ie, no windows machines can see the samba server in their network neighbourhoods
[09:24] <krababbel> solofight: the usual desktop needs about 14GB root, so you have a couple GB for programs and temp data, a little more swap than ram if you want hibernation support
[09:24] <solofight> krababbel: am trying to install ubuntu 12 64 bit
[09:24] <solofight> is there a link which talks about all of these which i can read and undestand ?
[09:25] <SilfenX> Why cant my windows machines see the samba server in their network neightbourhoods but the samba server can see all the windows machines?
[09:25] <krababbel> solofight: don't know, you could try a virtual install in vbox first and see how much it takes, my install without personal files is about 8GB
[09:28] <Lantizia> what's the equivalent of XP's "Phone Dialler" application - i.e. use my modem as a phone to make calls on the laptop
[09:28] <decci> Hi Guys
[09:28] <Deutopia> all you need is a huge "/" and a swap partition equal to the amount of RAM you have (to enable hibernation)
[09:29] <decci> I am following http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/deb/latest/
[09:29] <kroniksenvy> 1 question about the Terminal how can i display a table with info in it in Terminal, our professor did this in class today but couldnt catch him to explain
[09:29] <decci> I dont have internet access for downloading the key through apt-get and install
[09:29] <decci> How shall I install the key
[09:30] <solofight> krababbel: i have 150 GB disk with 4 GB of ram
[09:30] <enyc> decci: ??the key??
[09:30] <solofight> root and swap are two mandatory partitions i believe
[09:30] <kroniksenvy> he typed some command then collums ("collumn one","collumn two") & (1,"something","something else"; 2,"aga","3535")... etc
[09:30] <decci> enyc: Whenever I am trying running gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key<PHONE_NUMBER>D8786F it is trying to connect to this server which I am unable to
[09:30] <Deutopia> solofight; think of "/" as "C:\"    and swap as the place your ram goes when it goes to sleep.   no root is needed
[09:31] <kroniksenvy> and it printed out a table with two collumns and two rows and no he was not using mysql or similar database
[09:31] <decci> enyc: How shall I do it manually downloading
[09:31] <ikonia> decci: then change the --keyserver option
[09:31] <enyc> decci: you can usually manually download .deb files from somewhere else e.g. use  http://packages.ubuntu.com
[09:31] <ikonia> decci: you are telling it what server to use
[09:31] <enyc> decci: aaaah hrrm ok  so you aren't talking about a package directly hrrm im not sure
[09:31] <decci> enyc: I am talking about key for OMSA installation
[09:32] <enyc> decci: though, if you maunlay install deb packages i think it doesn't care about the keys
[09:32] <decci> I am unable to reach  pool.sks-keyservers.net
[09:32] <ikonia> decci: so change the --keyserver option
[09:32] <ikonia> decci: you are telling it to use pool.sks-keyservers.net with --keyserver
[09:38] <Nessaja> hi guys, was hoping somebody can give me some help with iptables. As Youtube is able to bypass a transpert proxy by using https, i want to block https port 443 in iptables but only for youtube, so that internet banking and so on still works, i've tried everything I can think of even iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -m string --string "youtube.com" --algo bm -j DROP but  youtube still works on https
[09:38] <solofight> Deutopia: can i give swap as 12 GB (my ram size is 4GB) and remaining to /
[09:38] <solofight> ?
[09:39] <solofight> 12 GB is enough for good performance ?
[09:39] <krababbel> solofight: it is plenty, you wouldn't use that much ever
[09:39] <MonkeyDust> Nessaja  try in the channel #netfilter, some 150 people there
[09:39] <solofight> krababbel: so 8 GB ?
[09:39] <Nessaja> thanks MonkeyDust :-)
[09:39] <solofight> twice that of my ram ?
[09:40] <krababbel> solofight: I'd use 8.5GB or 9GB to be sure, if you want to upgrade to 8GB RAM maybe
[09:40] <slappycakes> Does anyone here have any experience with the unified kernel?
[09:40] <slappycakes> I want to apply it to ubuntu
[09:40] <krababbel> solofight: otherwise double the ram is unnessecary
[09:40] <orated> Is there a way to disable using laptop integrated camera and use USB attached camera?
[09:40] <solofight> krababbel: upgrading hardware ram size is never going to happen
[09:40] <solofight> krababbel: so how much to give ?
[09:41] <krababbel> solofight: but with 150GB, you can go 12GB of course, you won't notice a difference
[09:41] <krababbel> solofight: I'd use 5GB
[09:41] <temporarytao_> orated, you should be able to choose in the app that's going to be using the camera
[09:41] <slappycakes> Anyone????
[09:41] <solofight> krababbel: ok am also giving 5GB
[09:41] <solofight> thanks
[09:42] <BlackNarcissus> Hello everyone. I followed several howtos on how to encrypt external hard drives with cryptsetup and LUKS, but found almost nothing on how to use a keyfile instead of a passphrase. Any ressource I missed ? Thanks.
[09:42] <krababbel> solofight: no problem, you can resize them afterwards even
[09:42] <orated> temporarytao_: I don't want to have a temporary use with the help of application or such. I want to make permanent change to use USB camera instead of laptop integrated cam
[09:42] <solofight> oh
[09:42] <solofight> krababbel: ++ thank you very much
[09:42] <krababbel> solofight: though changing swap or root would need updates in system files too
