[06:54] <somsip> chamunks: you need something like find . -type f -name *.fileext -exec rm {} \;, but DOUBLE CHECK THAT
[06:54] <cfhowlett> _buki_: greetings
[06:55] <geirha> chamunks: Oh, remove the file or the filename extension?
[06:55] <chamunks> geirha, that looks about right
[06:55] <somsip> chamunks: ah - I misunderstood...
[06:55] <chamunks> I have a series of files that were "Loaded" into a program at one point and during that process it added *.Loaded after the actual fileext
[06:56] <chamunks> I want to remove .loaded from those files its like 400+
[06:56] <chamunks> doing that manually would be a pain.
[06:56] <JamezQ> well e66, that's as far as I can help. Ubuntu isn't really a super compile to max optimize distro, so packages for it will be compiled with support for as much possible to work with everyone. I doubt it will be that interesting.
[06:58] <chamunks> geirha, ^
[06:59] <rabbi1> how can i change the background color of calendar popup in 12.04 (gnome 3)
[06:59] <geirha> chamunks: If they're all in the same dir, then that for-loop should work after replacing .ext with .Loaded
[07:00] <chamunks> geirha, ok awesome now to get my nas back online so that I can perform that operation.
[07:00] <Surlent777> just tested it and mine; my idea is a dud, but geirha's thing works perfectly
[07:02] <timfrost> geirha: will that work if a file has more than one '.' char?  I use the basename command to get the new filename, so using chamunks '.Loaded' : for f in *.Loaded;do  ff=`basename "$f" .Loaded`;  mv "$f" "$ff";done
[07:03] <Surlent777> the one he gave worked on test files I named test.txt.loaded and test2.avi.loaded; I just replaced the .ext part with .loaded and it turned them into test.txt and test2.avi
[07:04] <geirha> timfrost: Yes, ${var%.*} removes the shortest part matching .* from the end. %% gives you a greedy version
[07:04] <JamezQ> I always forget the special ${var%} and ## stuff in bash
[07:04] <geirha> timfrost: One could also write  ${file%.Loaded}
[07:05] <timfrost> geirha: OK.  too much time working in dumb shells
[07:06] <JamezQ> or echo |sed s/\(.*\).Loaded/\1/
[07:06] <JamezQ> :p
[07:06] <geirha> timfrost: All POSIX compliant shells have the % and # PEs.
[07:08] <timfrost> geirha: as I said- too much time programming in the original Bourne shell :(
[07:08] <chamunks> ok i got that working again
[07:08] <geirha> timfrost: Ah, yes. That's painful :/
[07:12] <chamunks> geirha, "for file in ./*.loaded ; do mv -i "$file" "${file%.*}" ; done"  Returns Missing }.
[07:13] <fatpudding> Hey, are there any one that have trouble with xpdf after the latest sys updates ? :)
[07:13] <geirha> chamunks: Sounds like you're not using bash then
[07:14] <chamunks> fair enough I'll mount that share locally somehow and do it on my local box with bash.
[07:14] <JamezQ> well, mine worked without bash...
[07:14] <geirha> chamunks: or any other posix shell for that matter. So possibly you have some c-shell derivate or the bourne shell
[07:16] <chamunks> im ssh'd into a nas4free (freebsd) box from my ubuntu box.
[07:16] <chamunks> it was because i was in su
[07:17] <geirha> chamunks: If I remember correctly, freebsd's default login shell is tcsh. See if it has bash or ash and use that
[07:17] <geirha> or ksh
[07:18] <chamunks> what would the command be for that.
[07:18] <chamunks> it has all of those via the webgui
[07:18] <geirha> chamunks: just run   bash
[07:19] <JamezQ> just $ bash , if it's installed
[07:19] <geirha> chamunks: if the prompt changes, good, you're in bash, and the for-loop should work.
[07:19] <chamunks> beautiful
[07:19] <chamunks> worked flawlessly on the test directory
[07:19] <JamezQ> yay
[07:20] <chamunks> agreed.

[07:41] <Nx0> Hi Ubuntuers!
[07:42] <Nx0> What's up Here?!
[07:42] <JamezQ> Not much
[07:43] <JamezQ> Using ubuntu, having fun. Welcome to the irc.
[07:43] <Nx0> haha
[07:43] <Nx0> Tanks
[07:43] <JamezQ> aha! Another user of "Tanks".
[07:44] <devios_> id be having a lot more fun if my wireless was working :-(
[07:44] <Kartagis> is there a way to apply date settings without logging out/in?
[07:45] <Nx0> sorry, i want said Thanks
[07:45] <JamezQ> Oh, well, I use "Tanks" volentarily.
[07:46] <JamezQ> devios_: What is happening, exactly
[07:46] <Nx0> well... What can do here?
[07:46] <JamezQ> Kartagis: What are you trying to change, for something like timezone, I have never had to logout
[07:46] <JamezQ> Nx0: Mostly people come here to ask questions and help people
[07:46] <devios_> when i try to connect to my wireless network, it looks like it tries to connect, gets connected, and immediately disconnects
[07:46] <JamezQ> Nx0: For general talking, there is of course #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:47] <devios_> dell vostro 1700.  network manager sees my wireless network, but can't seem to get connected. Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02). driving me crazy. would someone please help me resolve?
[07:49] <devios_> http://pastebin.com/H0hT1HfJ - here's what i see in my kern.log when the above happens
[07:49] <JamezQ> Well, this looks like a similar problem to yours, I don't know off the top of my head how to diagnose myself.
[07:49] <JamezQ> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1657790
[07:49] <Nx0> Check the wireless adapter
[07:53] <Nx0> because, if your laptop was connected, its work!
[07:55] <llort> why is ubuntu so much worse than debian? why don't you make it better than debian? debian has much less headache and much more awesome.
[08:00] <blackshirt> llort : that's depends
[08:01] <confrey> just installed xubuntu 64bit, I'd use unetbootin, but id doesn't work saying anything in terminal, what's missing?
[08:02] <confrey> hi everybody, excuse me
[08:03] <write> does anyone knows how to handle radeon open source drivers? stufflike this ?
[08:03] <JamezQ> confrey: I did not understand what you said, honestly. Are you saying unetbootin isn't working?
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> confrey: if Xubuntu is installed, why do you need unetbootin?
[08:04] <confrey> for testing others
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> confrey: does the system have web access?
[08:05] <devios__> http://pastebin.com/pbEZ9T7f - more on my network woes - network manager sees the wireless network, and when i connect, it seems to authenticate, then disconnect. driving me CRAZY
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> devios__: if you scan for networks, are there lots of SSIDs on the same channel?
[08:06] <confrey> ActionParsnip: what's web access? I'm on internet now
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> confrey: web == internet
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> confrey: run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install unetbootin     and the application will install
[08:06] <devios__> ActionParsnip: how can i tell if they are on same channel, and if it works in windoze, shouldn't it work in linux (Even if they are all on the same channel?)
[08:06] <confrey> ActionParsnip: of course, I'm on xubuntu now
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> confrey: 'of course' what? I assume nothing
[08:07] <confrey> I downloaded it by its site
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> devios__: sudo iwlist scan | egrep  'ESSID|Channel'
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> confrey: you don't need the site. The application is in theofficil repos, so can be installed with apt-get or software centre
[08:08] <JamezQ> oh does iwlist scan do it? I thought you needed iwlist <device> scan
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> devios__: you'll see the SSID and channel, if lots of networks are on the same channel it kills connections
[08:09] <confrey> ActionParsnip: ok and excuse me, I didn't want to be discorteus
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> JamezQ: without the device it will use all network devices available (I haven't been told the name, so I cannot use it)
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> confrey: you weren't :). It's all good
[08:09] <JamezQ> Well, today I learned something new, thanks AP
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> JamezQ: never a bad thing :)
[08:10] <devios__> ActionParsnip: thanks!  there's not a lot of networks on the same channel, but again, i do not have any problems with wireless connectivity when i have vista loaded on this machine - why would it be a problem in linux and not windows?

[08:11] <lodder> I can't seem to be find the issue, any pointers?
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> devios__: if you run  sudo lshw -C network      what is the product line and driver for the wireless device (I bet its some centrino garbage)
[08:13] <brophat> i read through about installing ubuntu with the windows installer, but nowhere does it mention about having to resize the windows partition.
[08:14] <brophat> does it just assume you want half and half?
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> brophat: depends what the OS is for.
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> brophat: for basic use, you'll need about 15Gb-20Gb and be fine
[08:14] <devios__> ActionParsnip: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> brophat: if you use Windiows7, it can resize it's own NTFS

[08:15] <ActionParsnip> devios__: what wifi driver module?
[08:15] <foo357> Hello, there are some software I need to install from source, and I am a bist lost at how the different software "know of" eachother.
[08:15] <foo357> bit*
[08:15] <JamezQ> foo357: Do you mean dependencies?
[08:16] <foo357> JamezQ: yes
[08:16] <brophat> ActionParsnip I am talking about installing ubuntu when you are in windows
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> devios__: in the bottom text you will see:  driver=
[08:16] <tsimpson> brophat: the windows installer (wubi) creates a file, inside the windows filesystem, which it uses as a kind of virtual disk. you don't have to partition anything
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> brophat: oh, using wubi?
[08:16] <JamezQ> foo357: The package management system, in ubuntu's case deb. Handles that itself.
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> brophat: wubi uses a file on your NTFS, you don't have to resize NTFS to use wubi
[08:16] <JamezQ> foo357: Basically each .deb file has a list of other packages it requires
[08:16] <devios__> ActionParsnip: driver=iwl3945
[08:17] <JamezQ> foo357: And so when installing it to your system, the package mangager will find those and install those first
[08:17] <brophat> is that any good?
[08:17] <JamezQ> foo357: If you are installing from source, you generally need to handle dependencies on your own
[08:17] <brophat> I think I would want ubuntu to have its own partition, but I don't know why
[08:17] <brophat> what do you guys think?
[08:17] <foo357> yes and how do I do that JamezQ
[08:17] <JamezQ> foo357: But it's not so bad, usually ./configure gives vital information about what is missing
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> devios__: run:  echo "'s not so bad, usually ./configure gives vital information abo
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> devios__: wait
[08:18] <JamezQ> O.o

[08:19] <njr> hello iam installing kate on ubuntu 11.10 and keep getting the error "The following packages have unmet dependencies: Depends: libkateinterfaces4 (>= 4:4.6.90) but it is not going to be installed"
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> njr: are there any bugs reported?
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> njr: are you installing Kate on a Gnome desktop based Ubuntu or are you running Kubuntu?
[08:20] <brophat> ActionParsnip so forget about wubi. If i just want to set up dual boot, then I can first resize the windows partition in windows 7, to say fill on ly half the disk, then use the ubuntu disk to install ubuntu on the other half of the disk?
[08:20] <njr> it just says at the end "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."
[08:20] <njr> ye
[08:20] <devios__> ActionParsnip: ran both cmds - same behavior when i try to connect
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> brophat: sure, you can resize to free up space and you can then install to the freed space
[08:21] <njr> ActionParsnip yes
[08:21] <brophat> ActionParsnip rock on!
[08:21] <auronandace> !checkinstall | foo357
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> devios__: ok, try: echo "options iwl3945 11n_disable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945.conf

[08:24] <geirha> brophat: 12.10 comes out year 2012, month 10. It's in the release number
[08:24] <devios__> ActionParsnip: iwl3945: Unknown parameter `11n_disable'
[08:24] <JamezQ> brophat: so, April 25th they think, but it may change
[08:24] <brophat> damn it is jumping from 12.04 right to 13.04?
[08:25] <JamezQ> oh lol nvm
[08:25] <JamezQ> brophat: haha, sorry, that was a mistake
[08:25] <brophat> ok hahaah
[08:25] <JamezQ> brophat: let me get the right article
[08:25] <geirha> !quantal | brophat
[08:26] <njr> ActionParsnip : yes this is just Ubuntu with the gnome desktop not Kubuntu
[08:26] <JamezQ> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/04/ubuntu-12-10-gets-a-release-date
[08:26] <JamezQ> There you go
[08:26] <JamezQ> October 18th they think
[08:26] <JamezQ> so, pretty darn close
[08:26] <JamezQ> Beta 2 should be out today actually
[08:26] <JamezQ> later today
[08:26] <xiaboyang_> =.=
[08:27] <brophat> if i could get microsoft office 2010 to run on ubuntu I would have no reason to dual boot
[08:27] <JamezQ> brophat: More then likely, Libre Office supports all functions of Microsoft Office you are using
[08:27] <brophat> JamezQ nah, I want to learn excel
[08:28] <brophat> and other stuff to make corporations happy
[08:28] <JamezQ> LibreOffice also has an excel compatible spreadsheet program, however, if you really need *exactly* MS office
[08:28] <brophat> corportations don't want to hear libre hahaha
[08:28] <JamezQ> You can use a VM, dualboot, or install CrossOver
[08:29] <brophat> JamezQ I heard when you do all that stuff micro office still runs like crap
[08:29] <JamezQ> http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=7437
[08:29] <amirouche> *still* :)
[08:30] <devios__> man this sucks
[08:30] <JamezQ> Yea, but again, all your knowledge you learn with LO spreadsheets should be applicable on MS excel.
[08:30] <JamezQ> So you can learn and use there, and then make sure it works on excel
[08:30] <JamezQ> then you can know it on both, and say you know excel
[08:30] <brophat> JamezQ corpers want to hear you talk macro
[08:30] <brophat> JamezQ corpers want to hear you talkin VB macros
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> njr: seems wierd to want to install all the deps for kate, just for a text editor is all.
[08:31] <Sarawara> #ubuntu-nl
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> devios__: gah, then delete the file you made, I suggest yuo switch wireless channels
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> devios__: could also try disabling ipv6 too with the boot option: ipv6.disable=1
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> devios: ^
[08:33] <brophat> what should I use to install ubuntu once i got my windows installed and repartitioned. Live CD?
[08:33] <JamezQ> brophat: Yes.
[08:34] <devios> ActionParsnip: just changed channel
[08:34] <devios> ActionParsnip: same nonsense
[08:34] <geirha> brophat: Leave unpartitioned space on your harddrive and the Ubuntu installer will add the partitions it needs there
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> devios: tried the ipv6 disable?
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> devios: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[08:35] <brophat> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop you go there and it does not download Live CD
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> !download
[08:35] <brophat> it downloads something else
[08:35] <devios> ActionParsnip: Squeeze
[08:36] <geirha> brophat: the desktop cd is a live cd
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> devios: debian isn't supported here
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> devios: ask in #debian
[08:36] <brophat> hmm ok. why does it recommend 32 bit/
[08:36] <devios> ActionParsnip: i didn't see what you said about ipv6
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> devios: ask in #debian
[08:36] <JamezQ> brophat: Because most applications are still written for 32 bit in mind
[08:36] <brophat> is the 64 bit ubuntu buggy?
[08:36] <brophat> ok
[08:36] <JamezQ> brophat: No, it's not.
[08:37] <JamezQ> brophat: In fact, I suggest 64, I think they will change that text soon.
[08:37] <JamezQ> brophat: Since they have finished all the muti-arch stuff,
[08:37] <brophat> they way they say it they make it sound like the 64 bit version is still in beta or something
[08:37] <devios> ActionParsnip: thx anyway, i guess
[08:37] <Azzle-Dazzle> is there a way of making a particular application run a script / command at every start ?
[08:37] <JamezQ> No, it's just the safest possible, that used to be more true. Some app's broke with 64
[08:38] <JamezQ> But nowadays, more people use 64 bit then 32
[08:38] <JamezQ> So you are safe
[08:38] <brophat> ok they should clarify that
[08:38] <brophat> they should say why they recommend 32 bit
[08:38] <JamezQ> Azzle-Dazzle: Yes, there are many ways. Do you want them to start a login? Or at bootup? or periodically
[08:39] <brophat> to me it sounds like they are saying that their 64 bit version sucks
[08:39] <JamezQ> The ways to do this are : Startup applications settings, init scripts, or cron jobs.
[08:40] <Azzle-Dazzle> well JamezQ the thing is: PS3 Media server errors everytime I start it, The only fix I know of is to run this via terminal: mount -o remount,rw,nosuid,nodev -t tmpfs tmp /tmp    So, I would like to make PS3 media server automatically run that command every time i start it up
[08:40] <JamezQ> brophat: No, they are pretty much exactly the same. 64 is a big faster and in general applications for it are slightly larger
[08:40] <brophat> JamezQ and 64 bit can use all of my 6 gigs of ram
[08:41] <JamezQ> brophat: 32 can actually do that aswell
[08:41] <JamezQ> brophat: Using something called a PAE kernel
[08:41] <brophat> ok well with 64 bit I don't need that hahaha
[08:41] <JamezQ> Azzle-Dazzle: That sounds like something you may be able to fix instead of hacking it to make it work.
[08:42] <JamezQ> Azzle-Dazzle: What does your /etc/fstab look like?
[08:42] <Azzle-Dazzle> JamezQ I Have tried everything to fix this issue, Ive spent countless hours and I just dont know how to fix it lol
[08:42] <Azzle-Dazzle> erm gimme 1 sec ill have a look
[08:42] <JamezQ> pastebin when you do post it
[08:43] <Azzle-Dazzle> http://pastebin.com/gRe84UBS Here you go !
[08:45] <hpj_> i'm encountering a weired problem: even though i've enabled the root account, and can in fact log in as root via ssh, "su -" still gets me "authentication failure"
[08:45] <JamezQ> okay, why not replace your /tmp line with: tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
[08:46] <hpj_> this is 12.04 on a vps, i'm thinking maybe something is wrong with the os template?
[08:46] <JamezQ> Since that is your effective switch, having those settings at the start should make that work at the start
[08:46] <JamezQ> so, try it
[08:46] <Azzle-Dazzle> Ok I will give that a try now JamezQ
[08:46] <JamezQ> kk
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: there is no root password. Run:  sudo -i   instead and use your own password
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: nothing wrong at all
[08:48] <hpj_> ActionParsnip: there *is* a root password since i've set one
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: once you are done, run:  exit   and you will be user again
[08:48] <somsip> Azzle-Dazzle: check your permissions. My tmpfs is mounted as defaults,mode=1777,size=2g
[08:48] <hpj_> as i've said, i *can* log in using root via ssh
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: doesn't SSH block root logins, setting one is not advised or needed
[08:49] <hpj_> i know all that
[08:49] <hpj_> i normally disable root login via ssh
[08:49] <BenHur> hi, i use ubuntu 10.04. xsane does not recognize my scanner, but in ubuntu 11.10 or 12.04 it does. How can i get the xsane from ubuntu 12.04?
[08:49] <hpj_> but because i'm having this problem, i've enabled it temporarily, just for testing
[08:49] <Azzle-Dazzle> Ive no idea how to do that somsip, But I think JamezQ has solved my issue :) It hasnt errored when I opened it up !
[08:49] <JamezQ> :D
[08:49] <hpj_> fact is, i *can* log in as root via ssh
[08:50] <Azzle-Dazzle> ill reboot and double check !
[08:50] <hpj_> which means the password is working
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: you can use:  sudo -i   and you will be root.
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: i'd check /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[08:50] <somsip> Azzle-Dazzle: well, you'd edit the /etc/fstab and replace defaults,noexec,nosuid on the tmpfs line with what I pasted, but no matter if you're fixed
[08:50] <hpj_> i want to know why su doesn't work
[08:50] <excervo> hello guys how can i secure my ubuntu from ettercap?
[08:50] <hpj_> ActionParsnip: once again, it has nothing to do with sshd_config
[08:51] <hpj_> i know this seems to be the common problem with su that all ubuntu newbees have
[08:51] <hpj_> but my case is different
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: do you actually get connected via ssh, but then cannot su to root? Is that the issue?
[08:51] <somsip> Azzle-Dazzle: though not necessarily with the same 'size' param...anyway
[08:51] <hpj_> ActionParsnip: ok, let me explain again:
[08:52] <hpj_> i *can* do this: connect via ssh, login as root, and do stuff as root
[08:53] <hpj_> as the very same time, ii *cannot* do this: connect via ssh, login as a regular user, then execute "su -"
[08:53] <puzzleled> I'm puzzled by the U.S. Presidential Elections
[08:53] <JamezQ> hpj_ and you want to not be able to ssh as root?
[08:53] <puzzleled> The USA touts itself as a shining beacon of democracy
[08:53] <hpj_> i want to be able to do "su -"
[08:53] <rudivs> is Catalyst Control Center (amdcccle) installed by default on 12.04?
[08:54] <puzzleled> But Why are the US traditional media not covering Presidential Candidates Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, Virgil Goode and Rocky Anderson?
[08:54] <somsip> !ot | puzzleled
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: tried:  su root
[08:54] <hpj_> the ssh thing i've got under control, i know how to activate and deactivate root login via ssh, and i know when to deactivate it (always, unless i'm testing some login problem, which is now)
[08:54] <puzzleled> Why are the US traditional media acting like they are censoring some Presidential Candidates?
[08:54] <gordonjcp> hpj_: yeah, you shouldn't let people log in as root ;-)
[08:54] <gordonjcp> not even yourself
[08:55] <puzzleled> I'm very puzzled by that since the USA touts itself as a shining beacon of democracy
[08:55] <hpj_> ActionParsnip: yeah, that gets me the same "authentication failure"
[08:55] <gordonjcp> !ot | puzzleled
[08:55] <Azzle-Dazzle> Full reboot and it worked !! You would not believe the amount of time I have spent trying to fix this, All it took was one simple change ! Thanks!
[08:55] <vivid> i was going to say....but somehow...i just knew
[08:55] <JamezQ> Azzle-Dazzle: I'm so glad I can help :D
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: try:  sudo -i    as user, is it ok?
[08:55] <jilt007> Is there any way to password protect single usermode in ubuntu instead of using grub   password
[08:55] <hpj_> btw, i've rebooted, too, still not working
[08:55] <gordonjcp> ikonia: or that
[08:55] <JamezQ> hpj_: It's not a good idea to have root enabled especially for ssh, but do as you wish
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> JamezQ: +1
[08:56] <david__> can someone help me with a problem I'm having with mailmerge in libreoffice?
[08:56] <JamezQ> http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/09/ubuntu-tips-how-to-login-using-su-command-su-gives-authentication-failure-error-message/
[08:56] <ikonia> gordonjcp: bored of it now
[08:56] <gry_> david__, if you ask :-)
[08:56] <JamezQ> If you really need it, that gives some info
[08:56] <hpj_> JamezQ: GOD! i don't do it normally, this is *only* for testing because i'm having this problem!!!
[08:56] <jilt007> any idea?
[08:56] <david__> I simply want to filter records in a mailmerge using a date
[08:56] <excervo> hello guys, can some1 help me how to counterfiet hacker on my network?
[08:57] <david__> I can filter records in both Base and Calc using a date but doesn't work in mailnerge
[08:57] <gry_> excervo, more details please?
[08:57] <hpj_> guys, i appreciate all the help, but plz read the stuff i write
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: try:  sudo -i    as user, is it ok?
[08:57] <gry_> david__, mmm try aking in #libreoffice perhaps
[08:57] <JamezQ> hpj_: I did, did the link I gave you help at all?
[08:57] <hpj_> ActionParsnip: no, because user is not in sudoers list
[08:57] <gordonjcp> ikonia: I was going to make an acerbic comment about USians gibbering on about it and not realising that 99% of the planet doesn't care, but this is neither the time nor the place
[08:57] <jilt007> ActionParsnip: Any idea  for my question
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: ahhhh
[08:58] <ikonia> gordonjcp: wise beyond your years
[08:58] <excervo> i'm using ubuntu 12.4 i beleive some1 is sniffing on my system
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> jilt007: not something I've done, could ask in #grub maybe
[08:58] <tsimpson> excervo: why do you believe so?
[08:58] <geirha> hpj_: pam could be preventing it. look at /etc/pam.d/su
[08:58] <jilt007> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[08:59] <hpj_> JamezQ: no, that link (which i've read) is about the common problem that ubuntu disables root login by default
[08:59] <hpj_> in my case, i've taken steps to activate it
[08:59] <ScottHarrison> why?
[08:59] <tsimpson> hpj_: also, look at /var/log/auth.log maybe has something relevant
[09:00] <hpj_> and since i can login via ssh as root, it means the activation of root pw was successful
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> tsimpson: good catch
[09:00] <excervo> some login my YM on another system
[09:00] <hpj_> yeah, i'll take a look at pam
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: also check the permissions on /bin/su
[09:01] <hpj_> ActionParsnip: perm is 755
[09:01] <tsimpson> excervo: what is "YM"?
[09:01] <hpj_> should it 4755?
[09:01] <geirha> hpj_: 4755 is the correct, yes
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: mine is sticky
[09:01] <decci>  I have a linux machine where I want to host ISO repository for Ubuntu, RHEL and Debian so that one can configure client (either of ubuntu, rhel or debian) capable to fetching the package and installing it just like yum or apt-get
[09:01] <excervo> tsimpson Yahoo messenger
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: -rwsr-xr-x
[09:02] <geirha> ActionParsnip: That's not the sticky bit, that's the setuid bit
[09:02] <tsimpson> excervo: I'd suggest you change your yahoo password then
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> geirha: gah, took a guess
[09:02] <rudivs> does anyone know if AMD Catalyst Control Center works with the open source driver? I needed to use it to get my desktop to expand over two monitors, but FGLRX is not enabled in Additional Drivers.
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: check yours is similar
[09:03] <MonkeyDust> decci  what system are you running on that machine, what OS ?
[09:03] <excervo> Thanks tsimpson
[09:03] <tsimpson> excervo: unfortunately, only yahoo would be able to track who the person is that logged into your account, and they aren't very helpful with that kind of thing unless you have a court order
[09:04] <hpj_> YES!
[09:04] <hpj_> chmod 4755 /bin/su did the trick
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: so your image is bad
[09:04] <hpj_> setuid got me again
[09:04] <hpj_> yeah, very
[09:04] <decci> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 12.04
[09:04] <MonkeyDust> decci  server or desktop?
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: strange you didn't check that...
[09:05] <hpj_> for instance, sudo was 755 instead of 4755 as well
[09:05] <hpj_> i had to fix that
[09:05] <geirha> hpj_: Perhaps check other commands that need the setuid bit. like /bin/mount and /bin/ping
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: sounds like a right mess
[09:05] <hpj_> also, there is a /etc/vim/vimrc, but its just for show
[09:05] <geirha> Sounds like someone's done a chmod -R
[09:06] <hpj_> the one being used is /usr/share/vim/vimrc
[09:06] <hpj_> that took me some time to find
[09:06] <hpj_> sadly, i can do nothing about it
[09:06] <decci> MonkeyDust: server and desktop both
[09:06] <hpj_> this is the os template my vps provider has
[09:07] <hpj_> and they didn't even have ubuntu before
[09:07] <MonkeyDust> decci  it's either server or desktop, you are r running
[09:07] <hpj_> i was on debian
[09:07] <geirha> hpj_:  /usr/share/vim/vimrc should be a symlink to /etc/vim/vimrc
[09:07] <hpj_> and today i saw they have ubuntu now, so i switched
[09:07] <MonkeyDust> decci  what was your initial question?
[09:07] <hpj_> but obviously their template is crap
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: sounds like it
[09:08] <geirha> hpj_: Yeah, they've broken all links and permission modes by the sound of it
[09:08] <hpj_> i have another vps
[09:08] <hpj_> where i'm also using ubuntu 12.04, for a while now
[09:08] <excervo> tsimpson, any tips on how to secure my ubuntu?
[09:08] <hpj_> and there it works smoothly
[09:09] <hpj_> so i have a good comparison between the two
[09:09] <hpj_> what should work but doesn't
[09:09] <tsimpson> excervo: your ubuntu is secure, however your yahoo account may not be. you should probably change your password regularly, using a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols
[09:10] <dgx> can i use lubuntu for developing? more specifically i need just *amp env+symfony+1 browser
[09:11] <tsimpson> dgx: you can use it for whatever you want, it's your system after all
[09:11] <dgx> right, tnx
[09:11] <hpj_> how do i list all files that have the setuid perm?
[09:11] <excervo> tsimpson, thanks but is firewall in ubuntu enable by default?
[09:12] <tsimpson> excervo: there is no firewall by default, but you don't need one by default either. you only want a firewall when you have network services running that you want to restrict
[09:12] <tsimpson> well, I say no firewall by default, there is. it's just not set to do anything by default
[09:13] <tsimpson> excervo: you can see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW for how to configure it if you want, but it's probably not required
[09:14] <excervo> tsimpson, I want to disable ping from my system, How would I do that?
[09:15] <gordonjcp> excervo: you could firewall off ICMP, but that's a bit silly
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: let me websearch
[09:16] <excervo> is ARP can be disable too?
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: http://www.linuxweblog.com/find-setuid-setgid
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: less than 60 seconds to find that....
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> hpj_: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=find+setuid+bash     too hard?
[09:17] <Muelli> excervo: echo "1" | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all
[09:18] <excervo> Thanks Muelli
[09:19] <vehicle> Hi, how could I apply language pack for Firefox in 11.04? Apparently the simple installation of firefox locale package is not enough
[09:19] <troulouliou_dev> hi i m using gnome classic and since a recent update a have all my fonts fore colour that switch from white to grey , is there a workaround ofthis
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> vehicle: you do know Natty is EOL next month?
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> troulouliou_dev: does it happen as a new user?
[09:21] <vehicle> Whoops, it's actually 10.04
[09:21] <MonkeyDust> vehicle  instead of struggling with the language pack, better upgrade to 12.04 -- 12.10 will come out in 3 weeks or so
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> vehicle: thats EOL in April next year :)
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> vehicle: if you look in the settings in firefox, is the thing you want available?
[09:24] <adoff> hi
[09:24] <troulouliou_dev> ActionParsnip, no current one
[09:24] <gordonjcp> I was going to reply to excervo but I guess he's disabled ARP
[09:24] <adoff> what is the most appropiate file system If I need to do many writes in disk? ext3/ext4 o reiserfs ? Thank you
[09:25] <Malacub> can someone heklp me with something?
[09:25] <gordonjcp> !help | Malacub
[09:25] <gordonjcp> adoff: ex4 these days, unless you're on a flash drive
[09:25] <gordonjcp> adoff: *ext44
[09:25] <gordonjcp> argh
[09:25] <gordonjcp> you know what I mean
[09:26] <vehicle> Great, I found the .xpi
[09:26] <JamezQ> adoff: I strongly suggest ext4, since it's the most supported. I have tried using others and often have some trouble.
[09:26] <Malacub> I tried to start ubuntu and instead of automatically logging in like normal it took me to the login page and wont accept my login. I even checked through Recovery console but it says my login doesn't exsist how can I get into my OS?
[09:26] <adoff> gordonjcp: haha thank you. I was reading some benchamarts here http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1203140-BY-BTRFSBUNT08  but I dunno very well how to interpret them.
[09:26] <gordonjcp> adoff: it makes no real difference tbh
[09:27] <JamezQ> adoff: It's actually surprising how close all FS's are to each other in benchmarks, it's likyl you won't notice.
[09:27] <JamezQ> likely*
[09:27] <gordonjcp> adoff: if you are Amazon or Google, you might care
[09:27] <gordonjcp> adoff: Facebook might care
[09:27] <adoff> the thing is I have to parse many files and do many writes on disk so I would like to optimized the time as much as possible
[09:27] <JamezQ> Google uses ext4, and it's good enough for them
[09:27] <adoff> JamezQ: gordonjcp I understand, then I'll use ext4
[09:28] <gordonjcp> adoff: are you working at CERN, capturing petabytes of information per second?
[09:28] <geirha> Malacub: Create a new user from the recovery console, add the user to the admin group, and login with that user until you figure out what happened to the old
[09:28] <gordonjcp> excervo: re disabling ARP, don't do that, it's stupid
[09:28] <gordonjcp> excervo: the best way to disable ARP is to unplug your ethernet cable
[09:29] <geirha> Malacub: adduser newusername  &&  adduser newusername admin
[09:29] <thefroyo> i have problems with the printout option "2 pages on 1" in evince under precise. i have two printers configured: my home printer "Laserjet 2200dn" and my printer at work "Dell 5130cdn Color Laser". my printer at home produces the correct result. using the same settings the dell printer at work  puts 4 pages on one sheet.
[09:29] <WarOfTheNerd> gordonjcp, wouldn't that break the network?
[09:29] <gordonjcp> WarOfTheNerd: disabling ARP?
[09:29] <Malacub> in the console?
[09:29] <adoff> gordonjcp: not at cern. But I need to process thousand of files per minute and we are trying to optimized the time as much as possible. Maybe as you say I don't get win many performance
[09:29] <WarOfTheNerd> gordonjcp, as in filtering all ARP
[09:29] <gordonjcp> WarOfTheNerd: very much so
[09:29] <excervo> Thanks gordon
[09:29] <geirha> Malacub: recovery console, yes
[09:29] <gordonjcp> WarOfTheNerd: yup
[09:29]  * WarOfTheNerd was under the impression even manually setting an address would break without ARP
[09:29] <gordonjcp> WarOfTheNerd: yes
[09:30] <adoff> gordonjcp: JamezQ thank you so much I'll use ext4
[09:30] <JamezQ> adoff: Glad to help
[09:30] <gordonjcp> excervo: only disable ping if you can write a 2000 word dissertation on the merits and disadvantages of blocking ICMP
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: hehe, it can help to disable but its dead handy
[09:32] <gordonjcp> excervo: why do you want to disable ARP, and do you know the implications of doing so?
[09:33] <adoff> JamezQ: gordonjcp maybe I have to read the mounting options of ext4 to improve the performace
[09:33] <JamezQ> adoff: Changing times on edit's would probably help, yea. so, read up.
[09:34] <gordonjcp> adoff: it'll be fine
[09:34] <gordonjcp> adoff: how big are these files you're processing?
[09:34] <JamezQ> adoff: Also, if you can, don't even work in ext4, create a tmpfs and use that
[09:34] <adoff> gordonjcp: the files are small
[09:34] <gordonjcp> adoff: don't worry about it then
[09:34] <JamezQ> adoff: That would be better then any FS you could use
[09:34] <adoff> I have to open many small failes (between 1-15 mg) and writes many logs files
[09:34] <gordonjcp> adoff: get it working first
[09:34] <adoff> ok
[09:34] <gordonjcp> adoff: if it's slow, worry about fixing that later
[09:35] <Ramtron> is sending error reports actually helpful?
[09:35] <adoff> I understand
[09:35] <adoff> thank you :)
[09:35] <JamezQ> Ramtron: In Windows, no. In Ubuntu, yes actually, a lot
[09:35] <Ramtron> how so?
[09:35] <excervo> gordonjcp, sorry can you explain what will happen if I disable ARP?
[09:36] <JamezQ> Ramtron: Maybe the error happens with your specific hardware software combination,
[09:36] <gordonjcp> excervo: do you know what ARP does?
[09:36] <thom_> greetings
[09:36] <JamezQ> Maybe no one else has submitted for that specific one
[09:36] <JamezQ> and that may help fix a bug
[09:37] <excervo> gordonjcp, Ive no idea
[09:37] <Ramtron> i se well thats really cool then, is it because its such a small community?
[09:37] <subdesign> hi, how to add ttf font to ubuntu that wined Photoshop can use?
[09:37] <JamezQ> Ramtron: It's not that small :), but even it's not just you, you sending the report helps them prioritize bugs.
[09:37] <gordonjcp> excervo: I suggest you read up on it
[09:38] <JamezQ> Ramtron: Of course, a dedicated bug report with comments is best, but the community really does look at these things
[09:38] <gordonjcp> excervo: it's used by the network stack to identify individual machines
[09:38] <gordonjcp> excervo: if your PC doesn't respond to ARP, there's no way to identify it
[09:38] <Ramtron> kinda makes me like using ubuntu even more. especially since its free. windows sucks
[09:39] <thom_> anybody good with samba? after updates my NAS that's been running for years now painfully slow. 100-150kb/s slow. it's a gigabit lan.
[09:39] <excervo> gordonjcp, thanks for the brief explanation does this mean if i disable arp i will loose my connection?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> thom_: play with the socket options in smb.conf
[09:39] <gordonjcp> excervo: not immediately, but weird stuff will happen
[09:40] <excervo> gordonjcp, thanks
[09:40] <gordonjcp> excervo: like, you'll be able to ping one machine but not another
[09:40] <gordonjcp> some internet connections will work but not others, with no real pattern
[09:40] <a_b0y> hello
[09:41] <Ramtron> anyone here can send the password to "Uh"?
[09:41] <a_b0y> how do i set sudo access when moving files on the gui?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> a_b0y: gksudo nautilus $HOME    and you can move what you wish
[09:42] <thom_> ActionParsnip: cool i'll look into it. the smb.conf hasn't changed since yesterday when i was getting 30MB/s, i dunno what's changed
[09:42] <thom_> thanks a million
[09:43] <Kian_> methamphetamin
[09:43] <a_b0y> ActionParsnip, what command would i need to use if i am using lUbuntu?
[09:43] <myhero> when will be Ubuntu 12.10 final coming out ??
[09:43] <somsip> myhero: 18th Oct I believe
[09:43] <gordonjcp> myhero: october some time
[09:43] <myhero> yes
[09:44] <myhero> what will be changes from current version or v12.04 ??
[09:44] <somsip> !+1 | myhero
[09:44] <somsip> !12.10 | myhero
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> a_b0y: gksudo pcmanfm
[09:44] <a_b0y> k thanks, and how would i turn it off when i am done?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> a_b0y: just close pcmanfm
[09:45] <fidel> myhero: the name itself gives the release month already ...a x.04 release = april && a xx.10 release -> october
[09:45] <myhero> how to install firefox 15.0.1 on ubuntu 12.04....i have download the tarball from mozilla.....
[09:45] <a_b0y> ok
[09:45] <fidel> a_b0y: close that nautilus window
[09:46] <MonkeyDust> myhero  15 is in the repos
[09:46] <a_b0y> it worked thanks
[09:46] <myhero> fidel: i know....but was asking for psecific date.....coz i m thinking of upgradinf from 12.04 to 12.04.1.......and if there is not much time left then i will wait for 12.10..!!!
[09:46] <fidel> myhero: if you keep your 12.04 install uptodate is is already 12.04.1
[09:47] <somsip> myhero: I gave you the date
[09:47] <MonkeyDust> myhero  what's the outcome of lsb_release -sd ?
[09:47] <myhero> MonkeyDust: i have 12.04 not 12.04.1.....it is already installed and no update is being showed in software center.....
[09:48] <myhero> somsip: yea...thnx
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> a_b0y: if you just run the file manager, it runs as your user, you need gksudo to make it run as root and you can do as you wish
[09:48] <MonkeyDust> myhero  paste the outcome here, yo be sure
[09:48] <tsimpson> myhero: 12.04.1 is just a new ISO with updated packages, if you keep you system updated normally, you have it already
[09:49] <myhero> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[09:49] <tsimpson> myhero: you'll need to keep updated to upgrade to 12.10 anyway
[09:50] <han_> :D
[09:50] <MonkeyDust> myhero  type sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade to upgrade to 12.04.1
[09:50] <han_> #joint apache
[09:50] <geirha> myhero: then either you haven't updated in a while or the archive mirror you're using is out of sync
[09:50] <myhero> i don't have a high speed or unlimited connection....so i don't update anything.......all i do is download their packages and install and uninstall when needed........in few months or when i setup new system.....
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> han_: try  /join #apache
[09:50] <myhero> yes its outdated
[09:50] <han_> joint #apache
[09:50] <myhero> and old
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> myhero: could install with minimal overnight then :)
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> han_: join  not joint
[09:51] <han_> how to joint another channel ?
[09:51] <han_> thanks
[09:51] <myhero> ActionParsnip: yes
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> han_: /join #apache     like I said earlier
[09:51] <MonkeyDust> han_  type /join #some_channel
[09:51] <han_> join  #apache
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> myhero: uses less data
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> han_: you missed the /
[09:51] <han_> =.=
[09:51] <MonkeyDust> han_  with the /
[09:51] <han_> hihi
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> han_: ALL irc commands are prefixd with a slash
[09:52] <han_> thanks
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> han_: the command (without the quotes) is:    "/join #apache"
[09:52] <myhero> i have already downloaded the 15.0.1 package from mozilla.....now how to set it up......its not deb but source.....
[09:52] <thefroyo> sorry for being pushy, but noone has an idea what is going wrong with my 2 page on 1 printing problem mentioned above?
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> myhero: there is a ppa for firefox versions
[09:53] <han_> action
[09:53] <tsimpson> myhero: you will need a lot of other packages installed to compile firefox from source, you're better off just updating
[09:53] <han_> why i cant send messages
[09:53] <han_> in #httpd
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> myhero: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[09:53] <myhero> ActionParsnip: ok....but currently i have source in my hand....sould u help with it ??
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> han_: ask in #freenode
[09:53] <fidel> han_: some channels force you to be authed
[09:53] <myhero> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[09:53] <han_> ohm
[09:53] <fidel> han_: anyways - this channel is focusing on ubuntu-help - not offering irc/freenode help ;)
[09:53] <han_> thanks
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> myhero: you will need to download the compiler which is a tonne more data than the PPA method, the PPA is also easier to use
[09:54] <MonkeyDust> myhero  type sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade to upgrade to 12.04.1
[09:54] <han_> :D
[09:54] <han_> sorry
[09:54] <myhero> tsimpson: really ?? or u r just scaring me ??
[09:54] <myhero> MonkeyDust: ok
[09:55] <tsimpson> myhero: no, you need all the things the firefox package depends on, _plus_ all the development versions of those packages, and the packages for the build system
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> myhero: and the output of:  uname -a
[09:55] <myhero> tsimpson: ok then i will go with ppa ActionParsnip where to get it and how to install it ??
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> myhero: firefox 15 is default in Precise. just run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox
[09:56] <blz> Hi, I installed another OS (backtrack 5) alongside ubuntu and later decided I didn't want it.  I proceeded to remove the associated partitions with gparted and now I get a grub error when I try to boot.  I am *positive* that I didn't remove the ubuntu and win7 partitions, but for some reason grub is freaking out.  What can I do?
[09:56] <myhero> ActionParsnip: Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> myhero: can you give the output of: lsb_release -sc    please
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> myhero: I found a ppa for firefox 16 if you like....
[09:57] <myhero> ActionParsnip: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -sd Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> myhero: is ver 16 ok?
[09:57] <myhero> ActionParsnip: is it final stable or beta ?? betas have lots of holes......
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> !info firefox | myhero
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> myhero: firefox 15 is in Precise by default
[09:58] <fidel> ActionParsnip: which doesnt help him until he updates ;)
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> myhero  just told you, FF 15 is in the repos
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> myhero: fidel hence the update/install command I gave ;)
[09:58] <fidel> i think that is the initial problem - not updating an install but asking for up-to-date app (firefox)
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> myhero: run full updates and you wil get firefox 15
[09:59] <myhero> ActionParsnip: in ubuntu 12.04 it has firefox v11 and  have the ubuntu 12.04.1 image which i dd'ed to usb and ran it live but it showed firefox v14 and not v15
[09:59] <fidel> which is somehow not-working - based on dependencies we have
[09:59] <blackshirt> fidel, what are you trying to config?
[10:00] <fidel> myhero: either consider using your current version - or update your entire installation .....you cant have both
[10:00] <fidel> blackshirt: nothing - i am talking about the question of myhero
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> myhero  the live version is older than the current
[10:00] <myhero> MonkeyDust: ohh ok....so what should i do now ??
[10:00] <blackshirt> fidel,okey
[10:01] <dr_willis> the staticalt compiled tar.gz version from firefox's download site may work...
[10:01] <myhero> fidel: any way inbetween which doesn't includes much of internet bandwidth
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> myhero: you don't need the ISO, you can upgrade using the web. If you edit /etc/apt/sources.list  you can add the CD as a repo, or use some other commands etc
[10:01] <myhero> ActionParsnip: that will be good.....how to do it ??
[10:02] <fidel> myhero: what is 'much internet bandwidth' in the first place?
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> myhero: there are guides online galore
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> myhero: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[10:02] <fidel> have you ever checked how much data it would be to update the current installation?
[10:02] <myhero> first things first.......i am getting lot of connection and disconnections messages.....how to avoid them ??
[10:02] <fidel> and doublechecked if its an issue compared to your internet-limitation?
[10:03] <myhero> its getting hard to read msgs with them.....
[10:03] <MonkeyDust> myhero  depends on your irc client
[10:03] <myhero> fidel: i never checked it coz i never had an option for update or upgrade....
[10:03] <myhero> MonkeyDust: i am using webchat irc
[10:04] <SpacePoet> what does $(echo 726d202d7266202a | xxd -r -p)  do?
[10:05] <myhero> MonkeyDust: how to avoid these connection and disconnection msgs.......these are filling the full screen.....
[10:05] <Ben64> SpacePoet: don't post that kind of stuff here
[10:05] <Ben64> !danger
[10:06] <SpacePoet> Ben64: what kinda stuff?
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> myhero: there is an option under 'options' in the top left
[10:06] <MonkeyDust> myhero  i know how to do it in irssi, but not in webchat
[10:06] <Ben64> SpacePoet: the line you posted
[10:06] <SpacePoet> Ben64: what does it do? I don't even know
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: its just a button in the top left of the chat, you can change colours too
[10:06] <Ben64> SpacePoet: its bad
[10:06] <myhero> MonkeyDust: i have irssi deb and i use it also but currently its not installed......i m on webchat irc
[10:07] <mah454> Hello
[10:07] <MonkeyDust> SpacePoet  it is meant to forget and ignore
[10:07] <SpacePoet> why is it bad lol
[10:07] <SpacePoet> you just keep telling me it is bad but you wont explain why
[10:07] <SpacePoet> its like north korea all over again
[10:07] <tintoy> hi hello
[10:07] <tintoy> anyone help
[10:07] <jrib> SpacePoet: where did you get that command?
[10:07] <blackshirt> hi tintoy
[10:07] <dr_willis> SpacePoet: http://linux.die.net/man/1/xxd
[10:07] <mah454> I configured Thunderbird Over POP3 , now i need keep message on server . How can do this ?
[10:08] <myhero> brb all 10 mins.....
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> mah454: there is an option to keep the messages on the server
[10:09] <mah454> I can not find this Option on settings !
[10:09] <mah454> where is this option ?
[10:09] <Ben64> is there a way to check audio cds for errors from command line?
[10:09] <SpacePoet> jrib: some guy on 4chan told me to run it
[10:09] <tintoy> @blackshirt- can I use <IP_ADDRESS> subnet mask in Class C?
[10:10] <blackshirt> spacepoet, look ata the manual dr_willis given?
[10:10] <jrib> SpacePoet: then you should probably not run anything he tells you to run.  Run "echo 726d202d7266202a | xxd -r -p" without the dollar sign and parentheses you had before, and you'll see what it would have done
[10:10] <dr_willis> SpacePoet:  so thats good enough reasin o not do it..
[10:10] <Ben64> jrib: should maybe not keep posting it : /
[10:10] <SpacePoet> blackshirt: i did i also read the man page of that
[10:11] <blackshirt> spacepoet, actually i don't know what the xxd was for ...
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> mah454: http://www.gn.apc.org/sites/gn.apc.org/files/images/thunderbird_pop_setup1.jpg
[10:12] <SpacePoet> jrib: it didnt do anything
[10:12] <jrib> SpacePoet: ok, anything else we can help you with?
[10:15] <SpacePoet> jrib: all my stuff disappeared
[10:16] <TheDrums> ...You ran it?
[10:16] <jrib> SpacePoet: yes, that's what your original command does
[10:16] <SpacePoet> then why did you tell me to run it???
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> what? deletes stuff?
[10:16] <Ben64> i warned you
[10:16] <jrib> SpacePoet: no one told you to run your original command
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> so the command literally deletes files?
[10:17] <Ben64> ActionParsnip: yep
[10:17] <jrib> ActionParsnip: that echo stuff just says "rm -rf *"
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: yowser
[10:17] <TheDrums> ActionParsnip: Calls rm a few options, and *
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> TheDrums: yikes
[10:17] <SpacePoet> jrib: you told me to run it with echo at teh front
[10:17] <dr_willis> without the  $() it would just print what it does
[10:18] <dr_willis> echo whatever.. would run nothing
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> ahhh
[10:18] <jrib> SpacePoet: the command I gave you just prints what the command would have done :/
[10:18] <MonkeyDust> i tried the rm -rf thing, with some additional parameters in vbox, it did ruin the system
[10:19] <SpacePoet> jrib: then where are my stuff lol
[10:19] <jrib> SpacePoet: if you ran the original command, then it's gone.  Use your backups and don't run commands you don't understand anymore
[10:19] <SpacePoet> jrib: where are backups?
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> SpacePoet: where you made them
[10:20] <Ben64> nobody makes backups anymore
[10:20] <SpacePoet> i dont remember making them
[10:20] <jrib> SpacePoet: wherever you created them.  If you don't have any, then take this as a life lesson to start making them from now on
[10:20] <Ben64> this isn't 1992
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: I do, my dad does and his dad does
[10:20] <SpacePoet> zomg
[10:20] <Ben64> load up the tape drive? :P
[10:20] <SpacePoet> all my photos
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: also the company I wok for backs up a few thousand Tbs a day
[10:20] <Ben64> how
[10:21] <SpacePoet> TBs
[10:21] <dr_willis> Ben64:  lots of floppies
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: netapp backup + some magnetic tapes
[10:21] <SpacePoet> what is this 1997?
[10:21] <vivid> i backup everything
[10:21] <Ben64> few thousand TBs?
[10:21] <Ben64> as in a few PB
[10:21] <Ben64> seems unplausable
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: yes, we are a hosting company with a handful of datacentres
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: so quite easy really
[10:22] <Ben64> which company
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: i can PM if you like
[10:25] <ooxii> hi i'm using ubuntu 12.04 and wondering how i can configure nautilus so that i can enter the path directly instead of having clickable buttons
[10:25] <ooxii> in ubuntu 10.04 (or even before that) there was a pencil symbol
[10:25] <dr_willis> ooxii:  hit ctrl-l
[10:25] <ooxii> with that i could swap between the button path and the text path
[10:25] <blackshirt> ooxii, ctrl+L
[10:25] <ooxii> dr_willis, blackshirt, thanks!
[10:26] <nsudo> ooxii, ctrl+L
[10:26] <ooxii> if i forget the shortcut, how can i change that in the menu?
[10:26] <dr_willis> there used to be a tweak to make the path the default
[10:27] <dr_willis> used to be a button to toggle it years ago i recall..
[10:27] <ferni> gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true
[10:27] <dr_willis> but now a days its a 'buttons are too confuseing' mindset.
[10:28] <ooxii> ferni, thanks :-)
[10:28] <dr_willis> ;) clean interface even if you cant use it!
[10:28] <Ben64> Is there a way to check audio cds for errors from command line?
[10:28] <dr_willis> Ben64:  you mean comercial audio cds?
[10:28] <Ben64> yep
[10:29] <ooxii> one more question: do you know the windows 7 explorer path? if find it excellent since you can do both, clicking on a path part is like clicking on a button and changing to that directory. but if you click next to it you can edit the path. can nautilus (or another ubuntu file manager) do the same?
[10:29] <Elvano> Hey guys, when I boot my system I get an error that looks like something as this "libc.so.6: shared library file not found"
[10:29] <dr_willis> seen some ripper apps that claim to use all sorts of faaancy tricks on windows to verify audio cd's when ripping..
[10:30] <dr_willis> but not noticed any on linux.  the ubuntustudio guys may know of some
[10:30] <Elvano> I already tried to copy the file from a live CD with no results
[10:30] <blackshirt> elvano, thats bad
[10:30] <vivid> ooxii, if you press the '/' key you'll see the actual path in nautilus.  theres also a setting to always show the path instead of buttons
[10:30] <Ben64> dr_willis: i'm working on fixing a disc tester, it made a lot of magic smoke yesterday. If I can't fix it I can make my own with ubuntu I figure, and use dd for data cd and video dvd.
[10:30] <lex__> Hello every one , after dualboot fedora on ubuntu i can't see fedora login option in grub loader .Help me out plz
[10:31] <Elvano> I'd really apriciate help on the matter for I'm forced to run a live cd meanwhile
[10:31] <dr_willis> Ben64:  ive seen comercial video dvd's that have such nasty copy protection dd chokes on them.
[10:31] <blackshirt> lex__, grub2 should detect your fedora?
[10:31] <ooxii> vivid thanks! / is even shorter than ctrl+l
[10:31] <blackshirt> elvano, is it true your libc.6.so missing?
[10:32] <lex__> blackshirt: but it d'nt . After installing ubuntu 12.04 grub loader , it d'nt show any option for fedora
[10:32] <Elvano> Well, when I checked the lib/gnu..;something, it wasn't there (if that's where it's supposed to be) @ blackshirt
[10:32] <Ben64> dr_willis: darn
[10:33] <blackshirt> lex__, run update-grub, and check it detected your fedora...and look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg..is there fedora entry?
[10:34] <blackshirt> Elvano, usually libraries was resides on /lib dir or /usr/lib ... you should check it
[10:35] <Elvano> Neither one contains the file, blackshirt
[10:36] <lex__> blackshirt:  it d'nt have any entry for fedora in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[10:36] <blackshirt> elvano, thats bad thing... Libc.6.so was c library .. And that was a core library used almost of the sysyem
[10:37] <blackshirt> Lex__, you can add it
[10:37] <lex__> blackshirt:  how ? Can you add ?
[10:37] <Elvano> How could it be missing just like that? @blackshirt
[10:38] <bondj> howdy
[10:38] <lex__> blackshirt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230175/
[10:38] <Elvano> and might it be possible to copy it from another installation? @ blackshirt
[10:38] <blackshirt> lex__, usually, adding some entries through grub config files. They reside in /etc/grub.d/ dir
[10:38] <dr_willis> is the fedora install on an encrypted disk or anything odd lex ?
[10:39] <blackshirt> elvano, i don't know what are you have been doing with your system before
[10:39] <lex__> dr_willis:  i d'nt think so . I can access its data
[10:40] <lex__> dr_willis: means its not encrypted
[10:40] <dr_willis> lex__: can you see its /boot/ files?
[10:40] <lex__> dr_willis:  yup !
[10:41] <Elvano> Don't see the lib in any of the folders on my live image either, blackshirt
[10:41] <catphish_> when installing ubuntu 12.04 on raid10, is it necessary to create a raid1 boot partition too?
[10:42] <blackshirt> elvano, check agains your lib dir.. And ensure nothing libc in it ..maybe just has beeen renamed
[10:42] <dr_willis> in the fedora grub.cfg find the stanza that boots it. put that in the  40_custome   file in /etc/grub.d  i belive may work
[10:42] <Elvano> Anyway, I've got to go . thanks for your time, blackshirt
[10:42] <bondj> how thow to create themes for xfce? (gtk themes i think)
[10:43] <lex__> dr_willis: ?
[10:44] <MonkeyDust> bondj  there's this http://orford.org/gtk/
[10:44] <blackshirt> lex__, have you tried to add some entries on 40_custom files?
[10:45] <MonkeyDust> bondj  there's also 'devhelp' in the repos, it's for gtk
[10:45] <lex__> blackshirt:  40_custom of what distro ?   Ubuntu or fedora
[10:46] <dr_willis> fedora may have the same feature
[10:46] <blackshirt> lex__, are you relies on different /boot partition ?
[10:46] <blackshirt> dr_willis, for grub, i think not differ too much
[10:46] <lex__> dr_willis: blackshirt  in fedora yoiu d'nt have grub.d , only grub
[10:47] <blackshirt> In /etc/grub.d
[10:48] <lex__> blackshirt: i found grub.d
[10:49] <blackshirt> thats i mean
[10:49] <dr_willis> you need to decide which os  you want to manage the bootloader. ;)
[10:49] <dr_willis> it might be best to chainload the other os.  but ive not had to do that in years
[10:50] <blackshirt> maybe better just adding an entry
[10:50] <lex__> dr_willis: after finding 40_custom what should i do ?
[10:51] <dr_willis> in the fedora grub.cfg find the stanza that boots it. put that in the  40_custome   file in /etc/grub.d  i belive may work
[10:51] <dr_willis> anything in 40_custom gets tacked onto the end of the grub menu basically
[10:52] <dr_willis> add proppper fedora entry and it should show up in the ubuntu grub menu
[10:52] <blackshirt> learn some basic to add menuentry on grub menus
[10:53] <dr_willis> odd that os-prober is not seeing the fedora install. was the fedora partitions mounted when you ran 'sudo update-grub'
[10:53] <lex__> dr_willis: sorry to disturb you again but i d'nt know what to paste from this . Can you help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230191/

[11:02] <Davisrox101> kk
[11:02] <blackshirt> tcp_cungkr1nk, what the problems?
[11:04] <tcp_cungkr1nk> my application with google maps API work fine on private IP, but the problem when accesed form public  IP
[11:04] <tcp_cungkr1nk> i used ubuntu server
[11:05] <tcp_cungkr1nk> whats going on with my ubuntu server
[11:05] <tcp_cungkr1nk> ?
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> tcp_cungkr1nk  there's also #ubuntu-server
[11:05] <blackshirt> tcp_cungkr1nk, are you come from indonesia?
[11:06] <tcp_cungkr1nk> yes, sorry for my bad english
[11:06] <quetzacotl> asfasf afasfafaga
[11:06] <tcp_cungkr1nk> thank you MonkeyDust
[11:07] <quetzacotl> hello guys I have question about running apps on ubuntu
[11:07] <blackshirt> tcp_cungkr1nk, it's no matter, i'm from indo too.. We come from the same country :d podho arek indone :d
[11:08] <quetzacotl> I made app using pyinstaller. It's console based app, no gui. And I can't run it by double clicking icon, only from terminal
[11:08] <quetzacotl> why is that, it's just not responding
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: make a .desktop file to run the command
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: you can copy one from ~/.config/autostart to the desktop, the manipulate it to run what you wish
[11:11] <quetzacotl> I have to do this on every system, or just make one in run directory and it will work for everyone who download this app?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: you can copy the file to the other systems easily
[11:13] <quetzacotl> I'm new to ubuntu, how can do I make hidden files visible?
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: just run: nautilsu ~/.config/autostart   bit easier
[11:14] <tcp_cungkr1nk> quetzacotl press ctrl+h
[11:14] <fidel> quetzacotl: depends on what app / viewer you are talking about. nautilus offers a menu option for that
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: or look in the menus in nautilus and the option should be there
[11:15] <quetzacotl> i have no such directory
[11:15] <quetzacotl> .config
[11:15] <japro> hi, can someone comment on the quality of current amd catalyst drivers? i'm looking into buying a new laptop
[11:15] <quetzacotl> oh sorry
[11:15] <quetzacotl> its there
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: reading is good
[11:16] <decci_> Hi Guys

[11:17] <decci_> Can I do some backporting the driver to Ubuntu 10.04
[11:17] <decci_> Any idea? How can I make it work for Ubuntu 10.04
[11:17] <gordonjcp> decci_: why not just stick with 12.04?
[11:17] <quetzacotl> well
[11:17] <apg> quetzacotl: what about Nvidia card? You like ATI more?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> decci_: +1 for using precise
[11:17] <decci_> gordonjcp: I am some application working and I dont want to upgrade
[11:17] <quetzacotl> ActionParsnip you said nautilsu ~/.config/autostart
[11:18] <quetzacotl> I'm new to whole linux, so I dont know commands yet
[11:18] <quetzacotl> its nautilus I suppose
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: press CTRL+ALT+T and you can run the command
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: yes, nautilus
[11:18] <gordonjcp> decci_: you'll need to in six months anyway
[11:19] <vega-> gordonjcp: not on server
[11:19] <decci_> gordonjcp: Please understand my manager is sticking to the point that he needs this combination only
[11:19] <quetzacotl> Could not find "/home/quetzacotl/.config/autostart".
[11:19] <vega-> it's april 2015 for server
[11:19] <decci_> gordonjcp: Is it possible in anyway to get it work?
[11:19] <gry> decci_, what do you mean by 'some application working'?
[11:20] <quetzacotl> so this nautilus is just an explorer
[11:20] <gry> yup
[11:20] <decci_> gry: Sorry you can leave it behind..just need you suggestion on how can it be achieve
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: I can pastebin you an example if you like.
[11:20] <quetzacotl> I'll google it
[11:20] <gordonjcp> decci_: you could backport it
[11:20] <gordonjcp> decci_: grab the source package and see if it works
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: gimme 2 seconds, i'll have one faster than you can 'google it'
[11:20] <KooolaNL> guys u want to help a lad out :P ?
[11:21] <decci_> gordonjcp: Can you help me where shall I find the source code?
[11:21] <quetzacotl> ok, thanks
[11:21] <gordonjcp> decci_: if you need to ask that, you'll struggle with backporting
[11:21] <gry> KooolaNL: just ask
[11:21] <KooolaNL> i only require a facebook like :P
[11:21] <KooolaNL> cism is always in jest, it's not meant to be serious :P
[11:21] <KooolaNL> [13:20] * z7x<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has joined #sceneaccess

[11:21] <KooolaNL> sorry
[11:21] <gry> KooolaNL: sorry, I have trouble understanding the question
[11:21] <decci_> gordonjcp: A resource or link could be helpful..though I know kernel compilation :)
[11:21] <gordonjcp> decci_: have a look at the page for the package in Precise
[11:22] <gordonjcp> decci_: you might be lucky and it'll more-or-less just work
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: wget -O ~/Desktop/sample.desktop https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/dropbox.desktop
[11:22] <gordonjcp> decci_: make it clear to your manager that *now* is the time to start looking at updating to 12.04
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: you can edit the lines to fit your needs, you can even download a custom icon online.
[11:23] <decci_> gordonjcp: I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[11:24] <decci_> gordonjcp: Found this too http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666108
[11:24] <quetzacotl> thanks, but "The application launcher "sample.desktop" has not been marked as trusted. If you do not know the source of this file, launching it may be unsafe." ;p
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: the launcher won't do anything unless you have dropbox installed.
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: think
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: you need to EDIT the file to do what you want, I have a near ZERO chance of guessing where or what you are trying to run. Don't I
[11:26] <quetzacotl> I don't want you to, it's just overhelming
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: so why are you running the file without editting it when obviously it doesn't do what you want?
[11:26] <quetzacotl> I thougt it will open in some text editor
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: if you open the file in gedit, you can change the file to what you want it to achieve
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: those files are used to launch apps, you can edit it in a text editor to make it run as you wish
[11:27] <gordonjcp> decci_: have a shot at compiling it, like I said, and see what horrible disastrous fireball and wreckage you end up with
[11:27] <gordonjcp> decci_: if it works perfectly, great; if you get errors, well that's less great but you know where to look
[11:30] <morethananoise> Hey, guys, so i've installed new cursor and it works, but just at certain apps. Like firefox. It works with firefox, but for example nautilus shows the old white cursor. Can anyone help me? Ubuntu 12.04
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> decci_  if you make soemthing work in 10.04, you'll have to modify it for 12.04 or 12.10 afterwards, so why not just make it for 12.04 ?
[11:30] <quetzacotl> ok, I edited it, do I have to put it into directory with my app?
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> morethananoise: tried logging off and on?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: no, just make sure the Exec= line uses the full path to the application
[11:31] <morethananoise> ActionParsnip: Not just once. :)
[11:31] <decci_> MonkeyDust: I suggested it to manager , but seems like he wants to do what he likes to do.I have no alternative now.
[11:32] <bibi23> hi, I've added 'MYVAR=VALUE' at the end of my ~/.bashrc file and logged out / logged in, but it's not taken in account when I run commands, but when I do 'MYVAR=VALUE mycommand' it's taken in account, do you know why?
[11:33] <gry> bibi23: use `export MYVAR='value'`
[11:34] <blackshirt> bibi23, export it
[11:34] <quetzacotl> ActionParsnip so now I can run this app by clicking on this file? but I can't run it simply by clicking on app icon?
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: the file you have will run the binary you pointed it to
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: when you double click iy
[11:35] <quetzacotl> this is application that I want users to download from web and just like any app
[11:35] <quetzacotl> run
[11:35] <bibi23> fry: thx, it worked!
[11:35] <bibi23> gry: thx, it worked!
[11:36] <quetzacotl> I'm confused, but thanks for help and patience
[11:36] <dr_willis> normally in linux you dont  download apps from the web. :0 thats a windows 'standard'
[11:36] <quetzacotl> dr_willis so how u get them, I know I can from repo
[11:36] <dr_willis> you use the package manager tools to download/install apps.
[11:37] <dr_willis> its like the original 'app market' sort of idea
[11:37] <quetzacotl> but how can I put my app to repo
[11:37] <dr_willis> you can make your own ppa.
[11:37] <dr_willis> ppa
[11:37] <dr_willis> !ppa
[11:37] <quetzacotl> oh
[11:38] <quetzacotl> but for example my python ide, sublime text
[11:38] <dr_willis> or make your own .debs that you download then install via the package tools
[11:38] <quetzacotl> I downloaded it from web
[11:38] <quetzacotl> oand im just running it like in windows
[11:38] <crizis^> quetzacotl, web8 has repository for sublime text
[11:39] <quetzacotl> so I was missing whole concept
[11:39] <dr_willis> you can get 'tar.gz' or other binaries you extract and run.  but thats uncommon on ubuntu
[11:39] <crizis^> quetzacotl, http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/sublime-text-20-stable-released-ppa.html see this page
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: if you double click the file you made on desktop, it will run the app
[11:40] <quetzacotl> ActionParsnip, yes but it means that every user would have to make that file
[11:40] <dr_willis> quetzacotl:  this is why you make a .deb they install
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: not if you move it to /usr/share/applications  then all users will see it and it will appear in dash
[11:40] <dr_willis> it could include that file
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: obviously give it a nice icon so its recognisable :)
[11:41] <decci_> Any idea if anyone have backported the PERC h710p on 10.04?
[11:41] <quetzacotl> my brain is going to blow up, too much information ;p
[11:41] <decci_> I explored but couldnt find it for ubuntu...for debian its there
[11:41] <quetzacotl> but I'll try
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> decci_: you could report a bug and it may happen
[11:41] <dr_willis> decci_:  may be ppa's for it also
[11:42] <crizis^> quetzacotl, sublime text 2 howto/oneliner: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sublime-text
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: I suggest you change it's filename from dropbox.desktop too, if you install dropbox it will overwrite your efforts
[11:42] <quetzacotl> it's sample.desktop
[11:43] <dr_willis> MyUberApp.desktop  ;)
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: thats cool, may want to call it something slighty more meaningful
[11:43] <quetzacotl> yes, of course, I know that at least, now I'm just testing how to make app :)
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: did you give it a nice icon too?
[11:44] <quetzacotl> I will
[11:44] <quetzacotl> when it comes to the point I have to distribute it
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: do you mean between users on the same PC, or multiple PCs?
[11:46] <quetzacotl> multiple
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: you wil need to copy it between
[11:46] <milani> Hi. I tried to install oracle java using apt-get install. but it fails to download it
[11:46] <milani> I can not remove nor install it.
[11:46] <milani> what should I do:(
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> quetzacotl: copy it to /usr/share/applications and it will be accessible to all users on that system you put it on
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> milani: do you mean oracle-java7-installer ?
[11:47] <milani> yeah
[11:48] <decci_> ActionParsnip: I wish Ubuntu has the same http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/
[11:48] <decci_> ActionParsnip: This has Linux 3.x which supports the PERC cards
[11:48] <milani> Oracle JDK 7 is NOT installed.
[11:48] <milani> dpkg: error while cleaning up:
[11:48] <milani>  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[11:48] <FloodBot1> milani: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:48] <milani> :/
[11:48] <milani> sorry
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> decci_: yes note the Use at your own risk part....
[11:49] <BluesKaj> !paste | milani
[11:49] <quetzacotl> ActionParsnip, btw, I made also app with GUI (using pyqt), and it is running just by double clicking app file, I didn't have to make this desktop file
[11:49] <decci_> ActionParsnip: No issue
[11:49] <milani> ok ok I got it.
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> milani: http://pastie.org/4829198
[11:50] <milani> ActionParsnip, done. thx.
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> milani: crazy what searching the web a little does :)
[11:51] <milani> I did search the web.
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> milani: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=oracle+java+installer+remove   is all I used, 5th result
[11:52] <milani> thx.
[11:52] <dddddddd> !lista
[11:57] <hanazuki_> upgrade to 12.04 but can't use right-click to change icons ?
[12:03] <grekkos> using `service` to start mysql does not seem to run the mysqld_safe script, is there a way I can change this?
[12:05] <cousteau> I just tried pressing dead-acute followed by c on an Ubuntu machine, and got the same result as here in Xubuntu:  instead of getting a c with acute (ć), I got a c with cedilla (ç)
[12:08] <Cipher-0> I'm working in a prebuilt Ubuntu 10.04 server CLI instance in a VM. The keyboard appears to be set for en-uk; how do I set it to en-us and make it stick? (also, I am still a linux n00b but I'm trying to get better :) )
[12:10] <joru> Cipher-0: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
[12:11] <Cipher-0> Thank you!
[12:11]  * Cipher-0 adds it to the copious notes.
[12:11] <joru> hope it works
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> Cipher-0: edit /etc/default/keyboard
[12:15]  * cousteau wonders who had the bright idea of making ´+letter = áéíóúýŕśǵḱĺḿńṕẃźç
[12:16] <cousteau> like, if a combination for ç is really needed, I would have rather used `+c than ´+c (which in older versions was just a ć)
[12:17] <gordonjcp> cousteau: , + c surely?
[12:17] <cousteau> gordonjcp, well, ´ is a deadkey, , isn't
[12:18] <cousteau> but when using compose, sure, compose-,-c makes more sense than compose-'-c for ç
[12:18] <jrib> cousteau: usually , + c is ç
[12:19] <cousteau> my point is, in older versions, hitting the dead-acute key followed by c, or the sequence [compose ' c], triggered a ć
[12:19]  * dr_willis is amazed his irc client can show all of those.
[12:19] <cousteau> (which is nice for me because I know some serbian people)
[12:20] <jrib> cousteau: mine still does that (compose ' c = ć), what layout are you using?
[12:20] <morsnowski> 早安, 爸爸
[12:20] <morsnowski> even that works :)
[12:20] <cousteau> jrib, actually I'm not sure what does compose do here...  don't have a compose key
[12:20] <jrib> cousteau: ok, I don't use ` as deadkey :P
[12:20] <cousteau> jrib, any way I can quickly convert my CapsLock/ScrollLock key on a Compose one?
[12:21] <cousteau> (using Xubuntu and the Alt-Shift trick doesn't seem to work here)
[12:21] <Ascavasaion> I tried to do a sudo apt-get remove samba so that I can install samba4 and I got this output once it began processing ... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1230294/
[12:22] <jrib> cousteau: see if any of the options in usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/compose look good to you, then you can use setxkbmap -option OPTION_HERE  to use it
[12:23] <jrib> cousteau: so for example, I use « xmodmap -option 'compose:menu' ».  Uh, yeah sorry.  I meant "xmodmap" and not "setxkbpmap" apparently :)
[12:23] <jrib> cousteau: actually, now that I check, you can do it with both commands
[12:24] <cousteau> xmodmap, that was it!
[12:24] <jrib> cousteau: in my ~/.xsession I have "setxkbmap -layout us -variant dvorak -option 'ctrl:nocaps,compose:menu,grp:shifts_toggle'", but in my history I see xmodmap being used so umm I think I've confused you enough now :P  (and have to go)
[12:26] <jrib> cousteau: I don't know about the use of ` as a dead key.  But at least with compose, you can use ~/.Xcompose to create your own combinations; if you just google "xcompose", you'll see lots of examples
[12:26] <cousteau> so...   xmodmap keysym CapsLock = Compose   or something like that?
[12:27] <litsa> hello.I have a problem with grub2.Grub boot ok , background theme is ok , menu ok.When i choose an option , screen goes black and i should press again a key to go on.What config should i change in the /etc/default/grub?
[12:27] <jrib> cousteau: uh, yeah.  Something like that.  I would just use « setxkbmap -option 'compose:caps' »
[12:28]  * cousteau uses `setxkbmap -option 'compose:caps'`, it's super-effective
[12:29] <cousteau> jrib, checked.  Compose ' c -> ç
[12:29] <jrib> cousteau: must be your layout
[12:29]  * sjerk22 likes that
[12:29] <AdvoWork> you know you can do sudo update-rc.d -f whatever stop 2 3 4 5 .  can i stop for all run levels without specifying?
[12:29] <cousteau> not exactly layout, more like locale or something, right?
[12:30] <jrib> cousteau: yes, locale is more appropriate.  I see my compose options in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose .  You should be able to just modify yours using ~/.Xcompose though
[12:30] <cousteau> layout only controls which char/event is associated to each key, not how compose or deadkey sequences work
[12:30] <jrib> cousteau: and actually I see dead keys defined in that file too
[12:30] <jrib> cousteau: yes, you are right
[12:30] <kontinuity> hi all
[12:30] <KjetilK> My MythBuntu box is having some problems, sometimes, at seemingly random places, the playback just stops. I'm wondering if there is a hardware or software problem.
[12:30] <kontinuity> is there a ec2 branch of precise kernel just as lucid has one?
[12:30] <KjetilK> My dmesg says http://pastebin.com/Lb4FC57S
[12:31] <cousteau> ok.  I think the best way to go would be to make my own /usr/share/X11/locale/*/Compose
[12:31] <blipblip> litsa: you might have better luck at #grub
[12:31] <KjetilK> and smartctl says http://pastebin.com/xdGggnXx
[12:31] <jrib> cousteau: well, you should be able to just use ~/.Xcompose in your HOME
[12:31] <KjetilK> is it that my HDD is about to die...?
[12:31] <cousteau> jrib, oh, so that overrides the /usr/share/X11/locale/$LANG/Compose one
[12:32] <Cipher-0> Seems /etc/default/keyboard doesn't exist and keyboard-configuration isn't installed?
[12:32] <litsa> thanks blipblip
[12:32] <jrib> cousteau: it should, yes.  Assuming it gets loaded ;)  I don't actually use one, but it's supposed to work like that.  There's even mention of it in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey
[12:32] <dr_willis> KjetilK:  ive found hard drives to be the weakest link in all my hardware these days. more hd failures then all other failures.
[12:33] <jrib> Cipher-0: you should say your ubuntu version
[12:33] <KjetilK> dr_willis, yeah, I have only had one disc failure before, but it sounds like it is the biggest problem
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> Cipher-0: are you running an X server?
[12:34] <Cipher-0> 10.04 server - but it's an opsview-core appliance. No X installed (or really wanted. :) )
[12:34] <TMS> hey, I have monitor0 and 1 connected to primary video card PCI:1:0:0 with split view working nicely. I have monitor2 connected to secondary video card PCI:4:0:0. I'd like to have split view stretched to monitor2 too. is there something wrong with my xorg config? I might be going config blind, but can someone point me in the right direction? amdcccle tool is not able to set it up
[12:34] <KjetilK> so, yes, it seems that something is wrong with the HDD, so I guess the biggest issue is whether I should just buy a new HDD or if it can be rescued...
[12:34] <TMS> http://people.opera.com/toksnes/tmp/xorg.conf http://people.opera.com/toksnes/tmp/xorg.0.log
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> Cipher-0: http://krisreeves.com/things-that-should-be-easy/permanently-change-keyboard-layout-on-ubuntu-server-11-10/
[12:35] <kontinuity> how do I recompile the 12.04 kernel on EC2?
[12:35] <kontinuity> there is no ec2 branch for the precise kernel
[12:36] <cousteau> brb
[12:37] <bon_> hi
[12:40] <Cipher-0> Thanksm ActionParsnip - that worked.
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> Cipher-0: all I did was:https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+server+change+keyboard
[12:44] <cousteau> jrib, well, ~/.Xcompose didn't work
[12:45] <Ascavasaion> Can someone help me with this apt-get error "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
[12:45] <cousteau> also tried copying /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose (which seems ok according to its content) to /usr/share/X11/locale/es_ES.UTF-8/Compose
[12:45] <cousteau> Ascavasaion, no
[12:45] <cousteau> Ascavasaion, scroll up and find the actual error message
[12:46] <Ascavasaion> cousteau: "start: Job failed to start"
[12:46] <cousteau> ok, that sounds better...  something else?

[12:58] <Pazzie> hi all, i have a small thing with samba, i created a share with samba and no i want to open it on my windows system but it keeps asking me for a username and password, and i dont want that
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> Pazzie: map a network drive and and you can specify username and password there
[12:59] <psychotropic> Pazzie: how did you set the permissions on the shared folder?

[13:04] <usr13> Ascavasaion: sudo apt-get install samba  (Is that the command you are using to install?)
[13:04] <hungryhubby> also wired connection under network showing wrong MAC address when i change it to its actual mac address,its getting grayed
[13:04] <k4m3h4t3> http://ompldr.org/vZm5xdw/Selection_002.png <<< my desktop ubuntu error. can help me
[13:05] <hungryhubby> help!!!!
[13:05] <Pici> !patience
[13:05] <Ascavasaion> usr13: No, sudo apt-get install samba4
[13:05] <Pazzie> excervo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230372/
[13:06] <excervo> hungryhubby, whats d output of ifconfig?
[13:06] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Let's go back to where you said, "Nope, never worked."  What did you mean by that?  What exactly never worked?
[13:06] <hungryhubby> here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230368/
[13:06] <hungryhubby> network seems disabled any help
[13:07] <Ascavasaion> usr13: You said I must do this... sudo apt-get -f install;sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade  I did it, and then when I tried to install samba again it gave the same error.
[13:07] <usr13> Ascavasaion: In other words, when you did this command: "sudo apt-get -f install;sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade"  #Did you get errors?
[13:08] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Try just samba   sudo apt-get install samba
[13:08] <LorSamPau_w> hungryhubby, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1490833
[13:08] <Ascavasaion> usr13: Okay, let me try that then.
[13:09] <Ascavasaion> usr13: It worked... says that Samba is the newest version.
[13:10] <Ascavasaion> usr13: But, is samba 4 not better than samba 2.x?
[13:10] <hungryhubby> is there any application/package 2 reconfigure my network
[13:11] <hungryhubby> please tell me what 2 to .....what all o/p of commands you ppl need 2 solve my problem
[13:11] <MonkeyDust> hungryhubby  reconfigure what exactly?
[13:11] <usr13> Ascavasaion: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8633
[13:11] <hungryhubby> wired network
[13:12] <usr13> Ascavasaion: apt-cache policy samba
[13:12] <hungryhubby> mac address is showing incorrectly
[13:12] <fidel> !details > hungryhubby
[13:12] <MonkeyDust> hungryhubby  start from the beginning, what were you doing and what went wrong?
[13:13] <entropy-> lol @ hungryhubby
[13:13] <entropy-> that nick is funny
[13:14] <Ascavasaion> usr13: Yes done that, and now?
[13:14] <hungryhubby> lets see,i had no wired connection in past now i have got a wired internet connection,i used 2 connect with mobile phone.now my wired ethernet device isnt showing up,i only see a device inside wired but with incorrect MAC address when i correct it 2 as shown in win 7,it is getting grayed
[13:15] <usr13> Ascavasaion: I don't know, what I've shown you is all I know about this issue.  It is possible that you first have to uninstall or purge samba, (but I'd think that installing samba4 would do that automatically... BUT, usually, only one version is available, (look at the output of "apt-cache policy samba4" and you see that they are both available probably), so I'm a bit confused.
[13:15] <hungryhubby> iam using ubuntu natty 11.04
[13:16] <MonkeyDust> hungryhubby  don't use '2' when you mean 'to' or 'too', please, it's confusing
[13:17] <hungryhubby> i always meant "to"
[13:17] <Ascavasaion> usr13: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1230390/  Think I have hit that bug.
[13:17] <MonkeyDust> then type 'to'
[13:18] <excervo> hungryhubby, do you mean there is no eth device?
[13:18] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Did you try to purge samba ?
[13:18] <Ascavasaion> usr13: Yes.
[13:19] <hungryhubby> i have ethernet device but i didnt use in the past
[13:19] <Pazzie> excervo: are you still here?
[13:20] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Ok, well, just use samba for now?
[13:21] <xwalk> I'm trying to find a way to backup home directory files from my desktop to a remote local server so that I can sync my laptop to the server every day to keep data conformed between the three machines. Rsync seems a little too much to handle that kind of thing. Is there any other appropriate alternative?
[13:21] <Ascavasaion> usr13: Will do, than you for your help.  Much appreciated.
[13:21] <MonkeyDust> xwalk  still, rsync is the fastest and easiest way
[13:22] <excervo> Pazzie, do u want to access samba folder without credentials?
[13:22] <bootboot> xwalk, what do you mean "Sexist bullshit"
[13:22] <bootboot> äh
[13:22] <bootboot> sorry
[13:22] <bootboot> xwalk, what do you mean "too much to handle that kind of thing"
[13:22] <Pazzie> excervo: yes like this: http://www.debuntu.org/guest-file-sharing-with-samba
[13:22] <hungryhubby> can this cmd help " rfkill list all" then " rfkill list unblock all"
[13:23] <hungryhubby> remember iam using wired connection
[13:23] <xwalk> bootboot: That was my way of saying I'm getting terribly lost in the man pages for something I wanted to set up quickly.
[13:23] <bootboot> xwalk i see, but there are also good online resources on how to use it to do exactly what you need
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> xwalk  there's 'lucky backup', a GUI for rsync, there's also grsync
[13:24] <Pazzie> excervo: nevermind i have solved it allready
[13:24] <Pazzie> excervo: thnx anyway
[13:24] <hungryhubby> are they any special privileages to root than administrator(my account is admin) since iam the only user.
[13:25] <excervo> Pazzie,is this solves the problem guest account = nobody?
[13:26] <Pazzie> excervo: no i had to do security = share instead of user that was the trick
[13:26] <excervo> Pazzie, ok thanks
[13:28] <Pazzie> excervo: now i can access the data on my unbuntu system without credentials (since its my private network)
[13:28] <Pazzie> excervo: and because i am lazy offcourse ;)
[13:30] <excervo> Pazzie, that was a good idea
[13:32] <Pazzie> excervo: thnx
[13:34] <Pazzie> excervo: now i can copy my data, because i want to change from windows media server to ubuntu media server (because i think it will preform even better then my windows system does, with less resources
[13:40] <excervo> Pazzie, you're right linux is faster
[13:41] <bondj> hello

[13:41] <bondj> how to disable xfce's wallpaper? i want to use compiz
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> bondj: does xfce draw the wallpaper?
[13:42] <chris92> hey there... can anyone tell me where I can find a netboot.tar.gz for xubuntu? im only finding those for ubuntu :/
[13:42] <bondj> ActionParsnip, yes
[13:43] <dr_willis> i thought netboot booted whatever image the netboot server was hosting
[13:43] <Skei> Morning, all. I'm trying to edit the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold value from 95 down to something more reasonable, but I'm getting Permission Denied, even with sudo. Any suggestions ?
[13:43] <dr_willis> so you want  A xfce netboot image?
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> bondj: maybe xfconf-query has the config
[13:44] <Hatori> chris92,what you mean with netboot.tar.gz
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> bondj: sure it's not nautilus http://linux.chrissweeney.co.uk/topic.php?t=65
[13:46] <Ascavasaion> Howcome I can access <IP_ADDRESS> but not localhost?  I thought they were one and the same.
[13:46] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Depends on what is in /etc/hosts
[13:47] <Hatori> ascavasaion, usually <IP_ADDRESS> refers to localhost name
[13:47] <usr13> Ascavasaion: grep localhost /etc/hosts

[13:49] <mah454_> Can scripting python language in QT creator ?
[13:49] <Ascavasaion> usr13: The initial reason I tried to change from samba 2.x to 4. hehehehe  smb://localhost/ does not work, but smb://<IP_ADDRESS> does.  I cannot access samba shares on this Lubuntu machine from remote Ubuntu machines.
[13:50] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Seeing the /etc/hosts file you showed us, localhost should indeed resolve to <IP_ADDRESS>  But what does that have to do with remote machines?
[13:50] <mdeboard> Hi, I just installed samba on my Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit server (EC2 instance). I was following (blindly, stupidly) the instructions here http://www.sitepoint.com/ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin-file-sharing-with-samba/ under the "Configuring Winbind" section, and rebooted my server. Now, I cannot SSH to the server. Did I do something dumb?
[13:51] <Anomie21> Trying to burn an .iso and brasero has been stuck at 84% for the past hour, can't eject, any other options?
[13:51] <Hatori> localhost was for local system, you should access it with other address or by hostname

[14:02] <mdeboard> Well this is just freaking great.
[14:03] <jalexandru> ActionParsnip: you want to say that the irc channel for ubuntu is not for support? and that the man pages are?
[14:03] <e66> hatori: I removed the file. but nothing happens. it just redownloads the file
[14:03] <usr13> Ascavasaion: When you try to connect to it, are you using an IP address?   ...Or are you trying to use a hostname?
[14:04] <Ascavasaion> usr13: IP
[14:04] <blackshirt> e66, so, what happens next ?

[14:04] <blackshirt> e66: can you pastebin your error ?
[14:05] <e66> blackshirt:  I think I did that already on my first comment.
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> jalexandru: you are using a command and its not failing and there is a man page for commands, why have you not checked that first?
[14:05] <e66> blackshirt: here it is http://pastie.org/4829673
[14:05] <blackshirt> e66: i just changing my host, sorry
[14:05] <Ascavasaion> usr13: I thought it was a firewall problem, so I enabled access on ports 137,138,139, and 445.
[14:06] <blackshirt> e66: wait a minute
[14:07] <jalexandru> ActionParsnip: I've checked that first .... but it was telling me something about a "-L" parameter that was able to send the port ... really now ... it's only a parameter that I needed ... I didn't want to know how ssh works....

[14:10] <usr13> Ascavasaion: You enabled ports on the router?
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> e66  did you sudo apt-get update, first
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> ?
[14:11] <e66> MonkeyDust: yes
[14:12] <e66> i did it many times.
[14:12] <Ascavasaion> usr13: Um, nope.
[14:12] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Then how?
[14:12] <blackshirt> e66: but, i think your link maybe down..i can acces the other site
[14:12] <jalexandru> ActionParsnip: thing is that ... I was after ssh -p 2020<EMAIL_ADDRESS>  didn't found it in the man pages that has way too much info only for this ... that's way I've turned to irc .... sorry, I know I don't sound very pleasant ... I really enjoyed your help (it made me move my ass and get the info I needed :) )
[14:12] <MonkeyDust> blackshirt  i just opened e66's link
[14:12] <Ascavasaion> usr13: it is a small home network... no conenctions from outside world
[14:12] <e66> blackshirt: pastie is down?

[14:13] <nsudo> how can i share readonly shares??
[14:13] <blackshirt> e66: wait a second
[14:13] <mdeboard> Anyone have any idea how editing nsswitch.conf and/or installing samba could possibly have closed the port I'm using for SSH? Ascavasaion I ran `nmask -v <ip> -p <ssh port>` and it showed that it's closed, just fyi
[14:13] <usr13> Ascavasaion: So how [exactly] did you "enable on ports 137,138,139, and 445"?
[14:14] <blackshirt> e66: i can open your pastebin
[14:14] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Did you use ufw ?
[14:15] <blackshirt> e66: are you using mixed sources.list
[14:16] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Let me preface this firewall discussion with the statement that Ubuntu blocks nothing by default.
[14:16] <blackshirt> e66: are you using mixed sources.list ?
[14:16] <Ascavasaion> usr13: In Firestarter firewall tool.
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> e66  type sudo apt-get update | pastebinit and paste the url here
[14:17] <usr13> Ascavasaion: So you were running firestarter before attempting to use samba?
[14:17] <Ascavasaion> usr13: YEs.
[14:19] <usr13> Ascavasaion: If it is a home network with no connections from outside, you should not have needed to use a firewall. But you did, so be it.  As long as you have not blocked the necessary ports, ok.
[14:19] <e66> blackshirt: mixed source list mean?
[14:19] <usr13> Ascavasaion: You could use nmap to check.  Just run nmap from one of the other PCs and see if you have access.
[14:20] <MonkeyDust> e66  type sudo apt-get update | pastebinit and paste the url here
[14:20] <e66> MonkeyDust:  here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230525/
[14:21] <blackshirt> e66, your pastebin says, there are two version of libboost available ...
[14:21] <usr13> Ascavasaion: closed means that there is no service listening, filtered means it is blocked.
[14:21] <e66> I see there are three versions. 1.40, 1.46.1, 1.48.0
[14:22] <e66> blackshirt: But its normal as i see many packages have many versions in the repo. It should be okay.
[14:22] <usr13> Ascavasaion: closed means that there is no service listening, filtered means it is blocked, open means that it is not blocked and that a service is listening behind that port.
[14:23] <MonkeyDust> e66  i'm worried about mixed 32bit and 64bit sources / packages
[14:23] <blackshirt> e66, okey, that was just be a problem (relative problem for new user) if trying to install the same file, look at this line : rying to overwrite '/usr/share/boostbook/dtd/1.1/boostbook.dtd', which is also in package libboost1.40-dev 1.40.0-4ubuntu4
[14:24] <e66> blackshirt:  enter dpkg -l '*libcurl*' in your command prompt. you'll see how many versions are in repo. there should be 3
[14:24] <e66> So I dont think multiple version is a problem.
[14:25] <e66> MonkeyDust: how can that happen? I install libs from repo and compile source. never install a binary out of repo.
[14:26] <MonkeyDust> e66  like Hit http://deb.playonlinux.com precise/main i386 Packages
[14:26] <chris92> hey, can someone help me with a pxe install?
[14:26] <MonkeyDust> e66  and Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main i386 Packages
[14:28] <e66> MonkeyDust: I also see Hit http://mirrors.ispros.com.bd precise/main i386 Packages
[14:28] <e66> I think its the default behavior.
[14:29] <hal> I am using ubuntu 12.04. A strange thing is happening in Nautilus. When I create a file or folder in a directory, I am not able to delete it (the "move to rubbish bin" option is greyed out). I can delete it from the command line, but just not using nautilus. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
[14:30] <k4m3h4t3> ActionParsnip : your tips can't be work. finaly i uninstall all  compiz
[14:30] <e66> MonkeyDust: `ls /var/cache/apt/archives/ -1 | grep -i 386` also does not  output anything
[14:30] <MonkeyDust> hal  hit the delete key, happens here, too
[14:31] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Did you check yet?   i.e. From another PC;  nmap -p 139 192.168.1.x  #where 192.168.1.x is the samba server
[14:32] <hal> MonkeyDust: yes you are right! Ugh, what is going on with this release of ubuntu? there are so many annoyances :/
[14:32] <usr13> Ascavasaion: If it says open, you are good, filtered, it is blocked by firewall, or closed, means that samba is not listening.
[14:32] <hal> MonkeyDust: thank you very much for your help. Thank goodness you are here! ;)
[14:33] <Ascavasaion> usr13: Just installing nmap. then will try.
[14:34] <Ascavasaion> usr13: It says 139/tcp closed netbios-ssn
[14:34] <usr13> Ascavasaion: Looks like samba is not running.
[14:35] <hal> MonkeyDust: ah, I have just found that the menu item is simply greyed, but not disabled. It still works regardless of the colour

[14:36] <MASTERPIECE> nooooooooooootttt
[14:37] <MASTERPIECE> how to make bootable usb flash with ubuntu
[14:37] <lduros> hello folks! I would like Ubuntu to boot with text information (like debian) instead of having the splash screen at boot time. How can I do that? Thanks
[14:37] <cfhowlett> MasterOfDisaster: UNETBOOTIN is the tool you want
[14:38] <MonkeyDust> MASTERPIECE  but i'm not sure you can make windows bootable from flash
[14:38] <MASTERPIECE> windows 7
[14:38] <chris92> can anyone of you help me with some problems I encounter during an install via PXE?
[14:38] <dtcrshr> MASTERPIECE: go for yumi
[14:38] <lduros> I still want lightdm or whatever to kick in, just I want to see the services starting texts etc at boot time instead of the dots and ubuntu logo
[14:38] <cfhowlett> lduros: alternate installer or hit F6 during bootup - at least I tihnk it's f6
[14:39] <lduros> cfhowlett: but I already installed ubuntu.
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> lduros  try alt-tab to see the text during the dots
[14:39] <lduros> MonkeyDust: but is there a way to make this permanent?
[14:39] <eses> ?
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> !text | lduros you mean this?
[14:40] <lduros> ubottu: MonkeyDust I guess so
[14:40] <lduros> thanks
[14:41] <AdvoWork> does update-rc.d -f whatever remove literally remove all the links in the various run level locations, could this be acheived by manually removing the links?
[14:42] <jrib> AdvoWork: yes.  Note that not all services are controlled by that now (in fact, most have been switched over to upstart)
[14:46] <Wilson2B> Hi all
[14:46] <Wilson2B> Unity has really been giving me hell for the last two weeks.. Im now using 2D mode .  Unity  is having refresh problems all the time. The top App Menu disapears and the launcher on side blacks out. I can hover over those areas and see a menu.  Could I post the results for someone to give some advise ?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> Wilson2B: which video chip?
[14:53] <AdvoWork> jrib, this is on quite an old server unfortunately, so i could literally go to the directory, ie: /etc/rc2.d/S01test-> /etc/init.d/test   and remove the S01test ? and when i'm ready for it to work on boot, just do update-rc.d whatever defaults(which i assume will recreate) ?
[14:55] <jrib> AdvoWork: if you want to, sure. How old are we talking about?  I think almost all of the supported ubuntus use upstart at this point.  If you really are managing sysv-init scripts, then I'd recommend using sysv-rc-conf instead of manipulating the links with update-rc.d
[14:55] <jrib> (or directly)
[14:56] <kupcsik> Hi, I'm using ubuntu 12.04.1. I'd like to overclock my i5-3570k. I do it in bios and 4.5Ghz +0.1V works well in windows, but in ubuntu the maximum recognized frequency is 3.4Ghz, that means not even the turbo boost works, what could be the problem?
[14:57] <e66> So I have a broken package system!
[14:57] <michielbrink> windows have it wrong :P
[14:58] <jrib> !details | e66
[15:00] <AdvoWork> jrib, its a server i'm trying to re bring alive(6.06 lol!!!!)
[15:00] <jrib> AdvoWork: :x
[15:00] <e66> jrib:  I discussed it with it already. But I give you again.  This is the error http://pastie.org/4829673# and this is the apt-get update log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230525/
[15:00] <dr_willis> thats scary
[15:01] <Wilson2B> ActionParsnip: Intel GMU 3150, Intel Atom Dual core 1.5
[15:01] <e66> jrib: Ubuntu 12.04, 64 bit. I wanted to install libboost-regex1.48{.0,-dev} packages. Then I got an unmet dependency.
[15:02] <jrib> e66: apt-cache poliyc libboost1.40-dev libboost1.48-dev
[15:02] <jrib> e66: apt-cache policy libboost1.40-dev libboost1.48-dev  # dumb rubberdome keyboard
[15:02] <dr_willis> hmm i cant get either of those paset urls working. may be my isp. error 405 bad gateway
[15:03] <e66> jrib:  I understand
[15:04] <fudgey> Hi guys, I wonder if anyone could help me with a display issue in Ubuntu 12.04
[15:04] <bazhang> fudgey, ask the channel and see
[15:05] <e66> jrib:  see http://pastie.org/4830038
[15:05] <CTLwm> fudgey: whats the problem with your display?
[15:05] <e66> Ubuntu paste is having problem right now!
[15:05] <fudgey> I installed ubuntu recently, but graphic were really poor. added acpi=force to the grub, but now when it boots up the screen says frequency out of range when Xorg loads
[15:06] <jrib> e66: ibboost1.40-dev isn't in any of your current repositories (you should probably just remove it)
[15:06] <jrib> llllllllllllllllllllll
[15:06] <MonkeyDust> e66  disable that ispros source, see if it makes a difference
[15:08] <e66> jrib: but package system is broken now so I can not install/uninstall anything. Let me try again
[15:08] <c2tarun> hi, can anybody please tell me how to change the values of energy star? (xset +dpms) Here is something that I want to increase Standby: 33    Suspend: 49    Off: 66
[15:08] <jrib> c2tarun: xset dpms X Y Z   (in seconds)
[15:09] <e66> MonkeyDust: how can i change that? It was setup automatically
[15:09] <c2tarun> jrib: hmm.. that was simple, so stupid of me :( thanks a lot
[15:10] <fudgey> no one know anything I can try?
[15:13] <OerHeks> fudgey, undo that, and see in dash > additional drivers if there is a driver available for your videocard.
[15:13] <MonkeyDust> e66  setup what, do you mean?
[15:13] <fudgey> it's a standard intel video card
[15:13] <e66> jrib: MonkeyDust: I think I have solved it by removing from synaptic.
[15:14] <dr_willis> grub has video mode settings to change uf the grub menu is using an out if range mode.
[15:14] <e66> Synaptic removed around 21 packages. All are  libboost packages
[15:15] <e66> MonkeyDust: by setup I meant the mirror was chosen during installation. I never changed it. Now I have found it.
[15:16] <fudgey> It's not the grub menu, i've tried uncommenting the grub gfx line in the grub file, but no change
[15:16] <maj> i cant get adobe flash to work on xubuntu 12.04.1 on an older laptop, both web and software centre versions i tryed
[15:17] <Mechdave> G'day all, can anyone point me in the right direction here. I have got gmtp working with my SGS2 but rhythmbox still won't mount the SGS2 as a music player. Anyone have any ideas? Google is just returning bug reports with no resolutions :(
[15:18] <dr_willis> fudgey:  You did rerun 'sudo update-grub'   after changeing the lines?
[15:18] <fudgey> yup
[15:18] <_0x783czar> Does anyone here know how to disable the dynamic MOTD in ubuntu 12.04?  I just want to be able to put my motd in the /etc/motd file.
[15:19] <dr_willis> _0x783czar:  theres a service that updates it i belive.   not sure of its name
[15:19] <dr_willis> _0x783czar:  look in /etc/init
[15:20] <[snake]> would it be possible to make a free(or almost free), and open source type of rosetta stone program that is just as good if not better?
[15:20] <_0x783czar> dr_willis: I'm not seeing anything in there.
[15:20] <jrib> _0x783czar: man update-motd
[15:21] <dr_willis> im on my phone so cant look. ;)
[15:21] <fudgey> is there a way i can change the default graphics mode for xorg without having a xorg.conf file?

[15:22] <zomb13> can anyone help me with a boot problem i am having with dual booting windows XP and Ubuntu precise?....when  the dual boot options come up i can not see them , says video mode not supported, I am using a 32 hd AOC  tv as a monitor through the vga port and my MB has onboard Nvidia graphics

[15:23] <dr_willis> zomb13:  you mean the grub menu is not seen. but the system does eventually boot  to the login screen?
[15:24] <zomb13> yes if i let it go it will eventually boot to Ubuntu, but i can not see the options to boot to windows
[15:24] <_0x783czar> MonkeyDust: ah, perfect, I was googling everywhere to find something like this.  I'll give it a shot.
[15:24] <wavelight> hello
[15:24] <maj> i cant get adobe flash to work on xubuntu 12.04.1 on an older laptop, both web and software centre versions i tryed
[15:24] <dr_willis> zomb13:  grub settings in /etc/default/grub has a video res, or a 'text' type menu that should work
[15:25] <wavelight> please tell me what is your opinion about Untangle, have anyone use it ?
[15:25] <wavelight> it is based on Debian
[15:25] <pinoavila> ciao a tutti ..!
[15:25] <pinoavila> :)
[15:25] <dr_willis> wavelight:  never heard of it. so id say dont  bother
[15:25] <pinoavila> !list
[15:25] <bazhang> !ot | wavelight
[15:26] <zomb13> thank you will try now
[15:27] <aguadito> best usenet downloader?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> aguadito: there is no single best for any situation
[15:27] <dr_willis> !best > aguadito
[15:28] <maj> aguadito: NNTPGrab all the way
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> aguadito: all you will get is opinion, none are outright best or the others would die out as nobody would use them
[15:28] <aguadito> i just want a good software to download stuff from usenet
[15:28] <aguadito> maj - thanks
[15:28] <aguadito> :)
[15:28] <dr_willis> totally depends on the details...
[15:28] <dr_willis> and your needs.
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> aguadito: what is the best colour of the rainbow?
[15:29] <dr_willis> ActionParsnip:  Puce!
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> aguadito: its the same basis and equally none-sensical, none are best, people just like different colours for whatever reason
[15:29] <aguadito> actionparsnip - i love orange personally
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> aguadito: same with software
[15:30] <maj> i cant get adobe flash to work on xubuntu 12.04.1 on an older laptop, both web and software centre versions i tryed
[15:30] <adnane> i love red color
[15:30] <aguadito> dr_willis - my needs are to download things from usenet, automatically extract .rars, maybe even stream on the go?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> maj: can you pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[15:30] <maj> aguadito:you might wanna download spotlite for ubuntu aswell
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> maj: use http://pastie.org or similar. Thanks
[15:31] <zomb13> dr_willis : ok do i  set grfxmode to 640x480 or do I Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
[15:32] <dr_willis> zomb13:  either may work.  disable the graphical terminal should always work
[15:32] <dr_willis> zomb13:  be sure to 'sudo update-grub'
[15:32] <zomb13> thnx ...back after reboot...i hope :-)
[15:32] <zomb13> yup
[15:32] <maj> ActionParsnip:http://pastie.org/4830171
[15:33] <maj> ActionParsnip:i installed xubuntu-restricted-extras aswell
[15:33] <eduardo_> has anyone had a problem where your dhcpcd client would get an incorrect ip address?
[15:34] <eduardo_> like it supposed to be 192.168.1.something and you get <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> maj: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flashplugin; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> maj: close all browsers and restart them, should be ok
[15:36] <einonm> Hi, When using the email client mutt on 12.04, I cannot connect to an IMAP server  (SASL connection error). I've tracked this down to be because my hostname is not set, even though /etc/hostname is ok, 'hostname -f' returns 'Name or service unknown'. Using sudo also reports 'sudo: unable to resolve host'.  'hostname -s' however returns the valid hostname...any ideas?
[15:37] <maj> ActionParsnip:closed firefox after, opened youtube but no video
[15:37] <VlanX> how can i read with expect the result of a command executed via an ssh session?
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> maj: have you tried other browsers?
[15:38] <maj> ActionParsnip:not yet lemme try
[15:39] <AdvoWork> if adding entries to iptables, will these survive a reboot?
[15:39] <mikehoy> Is there a way to prevent CTRL+SHIFT+) to stop opening vertical clones of my console? also CTRL+SHIFT+( does it horizontally. I've checked the settings and googled around, this happened since I installed a new keyboard
[15:39] <fudgey> ActionParsnip: xrandr just gives me an error: `can't open display'
[15:39] <usr13_> AdvoWork: No
[15:40] <mikehoy> or maybe it is better asked are those keybindings supposed to behave that way
[15:40] <AdvoWork> usr13_, oh
[15:40] <mikehoy> can anyone verify?
[15:40] <AdvoWork> usr13_, is there a way to do this then?
[15:40] <usr13_> AdvoWork: You have to put them into a firewall script, if you have one, if not create one.
[15:40] <usr13_> AdvoWork: How are you adding these new rules?  From cli?
[15:40] <AdvoWork> usr13_, and is this still using iptables?
[15:41] <AdvoWork> usr13_, im literally doing this: http://pastebin.com/y2S9YMcw
[15:41] <AdvoWork> usr13_, and yeah its from terminal
[15:41] <usr13_> AdvoWork:  WHen you do it from the command line, it is good for that session only.
[15:42] <AdvoWork> usr13_, argh, thats not good then, i need it to survive a reboot(one or more reboots)
[15:42] <TheLordOfTime> is there an easy way to remote desktop with an Lubuntu system on my local network with little to no additional configuration needed?
[15:42] <jrib> AdvoWork: see !iptables factoid for several options (including the iptables-persistent package)
[15:44] <usr13_> AdvoWork: You can just add the commands to  /etc/rc.local  #Above the line that says "exit 0"
[15:44] <usr13_> AdvoWork: Or, as jrib suggests .....
[15:44] <maj> ActionParsnip:google chrome says cant load shockwave flash
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> maj: chrome has it's own flash, if you uninstall all flash packages
[15:45] <maj> ActionParsnip:maybe try reboot after all it installed?
[15:47] <maj> man its about time someone invent a decent flash alternative
[15:48] <auronandace> maj: its about time flash died
[15:48] <maj> auronandace:agree on that1, tryed html5 aswell but its not many better..
[15:49] <usr13_> AdvoWork: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo  #Halfway down the page you'll see "Saving iptables"
[15:49] <zomb13> dr_willis : thank you worked perfectly
[15:49] <maj> leme try a reboot
[15:49] <maj> brb
[15:49] <dr_willis> maj:  i use the flash downloader tools, or a flash-replacer extension to watch videos in vlc
[15:49] <dr_willis> zomb13:  some tvs cant do all the video modes. common problem
[15:50] <maj> dr_willis:lemme try that
[15:50] <zomb13> dr_willis yup i figured that was the problem, just had no ide how to fix it.
[15:50] <AdvoWork> usr13_, ok, so if i do that, when i no longer need iptables, do iptables -F to flush it, then do another save?
[15:51] <fusion27> I just set up an Ubuntu 12.04 server, need to stick a vanilla MySQL server on it.  Thought sudo tasksel would do the quick & ez install but only see PosteGres on there
[15:51] <c2tarun> he jrib, something is resetting my energy star, setting. Do you have any idea whtat that might be?
[15:51] <jrib> c2tarun: are you rebooting?
[15:51] <fusion27> what's your quick and ez install ?
[15:51] <c2tarun> jrib: nope
[15:52] <jrib> c2tarun: so just after a few minutes, the output of "xset q" changes?
[15:52] <fusion27> This is Java server so I'm reluctant to bring up a LAMP server
[15:52] <usr13_> AdvoWork: Read the lower half of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo  #From "Saving iptables" on down.  Then make your decision(s).
[15:52] <c2tarun> jrib: yeah
[15:52] <jrib> c2tarun: what environment do you run in?  Default ubuntu with unity?
[15:52] <fusion27> just follow this guide ?https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/mysql.html
[15:53] <c2tarun> jrib: I use KDE on Ubuntuv12.04
[15:53] <maj> dr_willis:got an url on the firefox addon?
[15:53] <c2tarun> jrib: is it possible that I it is because I have two desktop environment?
[15:53] <usr13_> AdvoWork: And no, it does not say that you no longer need iptables.
[15:54] <jrib> c2tarun: hmm.  I don't know.  I guess there's some kde daemon.  I think kde uses dconf, check dconf-editor for something relevant.  Also, aren't those settings exposed in the gui somewhere?  Maybe easier to just modify there
[15:54] <jrib> c2tarun: did you load both of them?
[15:54] <c2tarun> jrib: what do mean by both of them? I can start only one at a time right?
[15:55] <jrib> c2tarun: you could start another instance of X and load both.  But, I was actually asking if you had logged into both (log into one, log out, log into the other)
[15:55] <c2tarun> jrib: nope, actually I haven't logged into unity for months
[15:56] <jrib> c2tarun: maybe someone in #kubuntu knows.  But my strategy would be to check running daemons for anything obvious, check dconf, see if it happens when you load a different environment
[15:57] <eduardo_> how do I start wpa_supplicant in system tray?
[15:58] <bon_> hi
[15:58] <MonkeyDust> eduardo_  guess you don't, it's something you add in /etc/networks
[15:59] <AdvoWork> usr13_, just fyi, i tried the rc.local thing, it doesn't survive a reboot for some reason
[15:59] <usr13_> AdvoWork: ls -l /etc/rc.local  #Show me
[16:00] <usr13_> AdvoWork: pastebinit /etc/rc.local  #Send resulting URL
[16:00] <maj> dr_willis:u got greasemonkey installed?
[16:01] <c2tarun> jrib: well I have hell lot of daemons running, but none of them is dconf.
[16:02] <javier_> wtf??? xd
[16:02] <jrib> c2tarun: nah, I just mean to look for daemons that look like they have to do with power settings.  Dconf was unrelated
[16:02] <_mis_tere_> hello frnds
[16:02] <c2tarun> jrib: ohh...
[16:02] <AdvoWork> usr13_, ok sec
[16:03] <jrib> c2tarun: and these settings may actually be exposed through the gui; but I haven't used kde in a long time
[16:04] <_mis_tere_> whois _mis_tere_
[16:05] <usr13_> _mis_tere_: preface that with /
[16:06] <AdvoWork> usr13_, sorry for delay: http://pastebin.com/nHQFW37n
[16:09] <mjuszczak> Quick question.  I installed skype and for some reason, it took *forever*. After looking at dpkg.log, I found this:
[16:09] <mjuszczak> http://pastebin.com/hLCyangv (I filtered out "status installed" only)
[16:10] <mjuszczak> does skype really have that many dependencies or did I do something wrong?
[16:10] <MuNk`> anyone know if there is a third party mod/addon/package to allow MAAS to work for IA64 machines?
[16:10] <ClientAlive> Really stupid question: In gnome tweak tool, how do you tell whether a button is on or off? I'm confused about which way it goes.
[16:12] <f00dMonsta> ClientAlive: for me... It glows when it's *on*
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> mjuszczak: if you run 64bit ubuntu, yes
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> mjuszczak: its still the 32bit app, so you install a tonne of 32bit packages as deps
[16:14] <mjuszczak> ahhh, okay.  Yes, I run 64 bit ubuntu.
[16:14] <AdvoWork> usr13_, urgh, even doing all my iptables stuff, then doing iptables-save and then rebooting, still loses all the stuff
[16:14] <ClientAlive> f00dMonsta: So if I can see the letters/ word "off" then it means the button is on?
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> mjuszczak: thats why, until skype (microsoft) kick out a real 64bit client, you will get this
[16:14] <truexfan81> i noticed that about skype too, but didn't care enough to ask why lol
[16:14] <usr13_> AdvoWork: What are you expecting to accomplish with the rules you have?
[16:15] <f00dMonsta> ClientAlive: for me... I see "On" and it's "glowing" orange
[16:15] <f00dMonsta> ClientAlive: and when I see Off, it's grey
[16:15] <AdvoWork> usr13_, block all incoming/outgoing traffic for the email server, the rules work as ive tested them, but i need to apply them, test them, reboot(do something else) and then remove them, i can't get past the reboot bit
[16:16] <erictr1ck> what is the difference between rub-compass and libcompass-ruby1.8 in the repos?
[16:16] <erictr1ck> ruby-compass*
[16:17] <deadmund> erictr1ck: not sure,  maybe aptitude show rub-compass   says something different that aptitude show libcompass-ruby1.8
[16:17] <usr13_> AdvoWork: Are you sure it's not working?    Have you checked from another PC?
[16:17] <ClientAlive> f00dMonsta: Mine is is shaped like two rectangles side by side, up against each other. I can One side says off one side says on but you can only see the word on one side or the other. If you can see "off" on the right side then the left side is solid white. (and vice versa). I can toggle by clicking only one side or I can click one side then the other - to switch it. It's ver confusing to me.
[16:18] <ClientAlive> f00dMonsta: so you don't know if its on when you can see the word "on" or when that side of the rectangle is solid white.
[16:18] <usr13_> AdvoWork: There is only one line there that will do anything: iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m multiport --dport 25,80,110,143,443,993,995 -j REJECT
[16:19] <AdvoWork> usr13_, well, i could access the emails erver via the web interface, and i couldnt after iptables, also sending email from the mail server worked, until i added those rules, then it didn
[16:19] <usr13_> AdvoWork: Probably the only one you need.  But check to see if any of those ports are filtered.
[16:19] <f00dMonsta> ClientAlive: FOr me, seeing "ON" means it's ON
[16:19] <AdvoWork> usr13_, will do thanks, any suggestions about getting past the reboot bit ? as the rules go when I do
[16:19] <ClientAlive> f00dMonsta: great. thank you.
[16:20] <f00dMonsta> Why do I dislike aptitude? Seems like lots of people like it :x
[16:20] <_mis_tere_> anyone tell me how i change the size of unity icons in ubuntu 12.04?
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> f00dMonsta: personal taste. I like apt-fast personally :)
[16:20] <bazhang> !aptitude | f00dMonsta
[16:20] <mjuszczak> ActionParsnip: ahhh okay :) Thanks!
