[00:00] <ActionParsnip> shade34321: does dmesg | tail show anything for the insertion?
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> W4sp: ahhh thats how you do it without root recovery mode (mental note ) :). Thanks
[00:02] <zally666> hi again
[00:02] <shade34321> ActionParsnip: One sec and I'll check
[00:02] <W4sp> ianm_: That means you're almost there. Once you have created the file check if you're not using an xorg.conf already. The file is in /etc/X11. If not you can copy your ~/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. With this nothing will have changed yet. You then need to see if there are parameters to modify the settings. On a side note, can we be sure the driver isn't loaded twice?
[00:03] <ianm_> W4sp: should it be in lsmod?
[00:04] <shade34321> ActionParsnip: yes it does, It shows both, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1154486/
[00:04] <W4sp> ianm_: Not sure if it is displayed twice. I can't check as I dont have hardware and the issue. Just give it a try.
[00:05] <Poindexter_> Greets to the nice folks here. Is there a software for Ubuntu for WIFI that opens up a web page when a local wifi user clicks on your SSID or an automatic page opens up. I have seen this hapen in a coffee shop a page automatically opens up. Any comments?
[00:06] <W4sp> Poindexter_: There are basically two programs available that do this for you. One is not being maintained since years I'm afraid.
[00:06] <Poindexter_> A URL would help though W4sp.
[00:06] <Poindexter_> Or a link.
[00:06] <zally666> Artemis3: ping
[00:06] <Poindexter_> I can modify the software once I see it.
[00:07] <zally666> i can add to the bash
[00:07] <Poindexter_> There was a StarBucks that used it. I was curious about it.
[00:08] <Poindexter_> It almost seems like a port forwarding program.
[00:08] <ianm_> W4sp: the generated xorg file doesn't mention synaptic
[00:10] <W4sp> Poindexter_: I would like to look it up, I know. I have ISP related network issues. To look it up see if keywords like hotspot ubuntu or linux give you anything. Sorry I canot remember the two product names.
[00:10] <W4sp> ianm_: That's odd. Can you pastebin the newly created xorg.conf please?
[00:10] <W4sp> !pastebin | ianm_
[00:10] <Poindexter_> W4sp at least we are on the same page. I was thinking on the same line of thinking.
[00:11] <W4sp> Poindexter_: I have successfully installed it for some hotels and it worked.
[00:11] <Poindexter_> I personally think that it might be a virtual network with a DNS server re-direct issue.
[00:11] <jhojho> hello all.  which channel do I join to request changes to a precise package? ? it would be a compile flag change to enable some additional capability
[00:11] <W4sp> Poindexter_: If you find one web page that's greenish or with green background I think. That's the old one that's not maintained anymore.
[00:12] <ianm_> W4sp: http://pastebin.com/Te893NQB
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> jhojho: could report a bug
[00:12] <jhojho> is that usually the fastest way?
[00:12] <jhojho> i was hoping for a path a little faster than that..
[00:12] <Poindexter_> W4sp If I find any answer I will let you know. I was just curious about it.
[00:13] <W4sp> ianm_: I can't look up at the moment. :-( The network link is too slow. The ISP is working on their routers.
[00:13] <Poindexter_> I think it is a re-direct issue.
[00:13] <Poindexter_> Of course a wireless router.
[00:13] <W4sp> Poindexter_: Please do come back with it.
[00:14] <W4sp> Poindexter_: The're some good cards out there. But you don't need to go wireless to have the web based authentication AFAIK.
[00:14] <Poindexter_> I was in a CAFE and I opened up my laptop and it took me to a webpage of the CAFE.
[00:15] <W4sp> Poindexter_: Yeah, then enter a coupon or something and you're in for 1/2 hour or so.
[00:15] <Poindexter_> No they wanted $5.00/hour to log onto the internet.
[00:16] <W4sp> Poindexter_: That's the same I installed for the hotels and B&B. That's why an accounting system is usually hooked up to this.
[00:16] <ChogyDan> Poindexter_: there are routers that will do that for you
[00:17] <W4sp> Poindexter_: Sorry I cannot assist you further as my ISP has its maintenance window I suppose. ;-)
[00:17] <Misan> hi folks
[00:17] <Poindexter_> Thanks W4sp.
[00:17] <Poindexter_> :)
[00:17] <W4sp> ianm_: I recommend you sum up what's been done and refer to the pastebin output. I can't help you with it any further as I have uplink issues.
[00:17] <Poindexter_> ChogyDan I was thinking on the same lines as a router programmable. Perhaps a CISCO router.
[00:18] <W4sp> Poindexter_: No problem, very welcome.
[00:18] <ianm_> W4sp: could be related to HorizResolution property of the synaptic driver, trying to figure out how to experiment with it
[00:18]  * W4sp .oO(hears cisco and get's orange skin).
[00:19] <ChogyDan> Poindexter_: just a guess, but I think there may be a way to have your router use your computer as a proxy, and then you can configure your computer to proxy however you want
[00:19] <W4sp> ianm_: Cool, you'll get there. I'm sure. That shoudl address the issue.
[00:20] <Poindexter_> ChogyDan I was and am still working on a Virtual Network and have about 15 different OS and many servers on the network. It is based on wireless technology.
[00:21] <ChogyDan> Poindexter_: cool, I still can't help, sorry

[00:23] <Miggs> Hi guys. I have a pulseaudio/zeroconf question - I can find my network sound sink in avahi-discover (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1154444/ 5.1 Digital on xbmc@xbmc) but it doesn't show up in the list of devices in the sound control panel. paprefs is configured to allow access to remote devices locally. Any hints on how I can resolve this? Cheers
[00:24] <bkc_> Miggs: I can give you my config if you'll wait a couple of minutes :)
[00:24] <ianm_> W4sp: thanks for the help
[00:25] <Miggs> bkc_, cheers
[00:26] <benjo> Does anyone know why I would get severe mouse lag after waking the machine up from idle? Using Xubuntu 12.04 with XFCE 4.10
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> benjo: try unloading and reloading the psmouse module
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> !info xfce4
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> benjo: maybe because you are using a PPA for your DE
[00:27] <Misan> once in a lifetime, I installed Ubuntu to get the full benefits of real developer tools and have full access and controll all over my PC. But I ran into problems with Xorg, the GRUB Boot loader annoyed me and stuff like that. You must know that I am yet a Windows user and I am at least thankful for having a "stable" system with no fatal errors shrinking resolution sized when installing random things (like compiz
[00:27] <Misan>  earlier these times). After reinstalling Ubuntu for six times I decided to get rid of it and give up on it. And I think that it was not ubuntu what was the irresponsible awful monster. It was me who clicked on random package installer amazed from what ubuntu was capable to perform. that was like back in 2008. Now I am here to give ubuntu another chance and TL:DR; how can I install ubuntu on my windows pc without
[00:27] <Misan>  screwing my whole system and need to accept tons of things when booting my PC with grub or something like that. Also I would like to know as if there is kinda a list of perfect matching packag
[00:27] <Misan> es without screwing my whole XORG stuff :)   best regards - a future confused ubuntu user :)
[00:27] <FloodBot1> Misan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:28] <benjo> So would it have been better to stick to 4.8 until it's supported? And how would I unload and load psmouse module?
[00:28] <bkc_> benjo: rmmod psmouse; insmod psmouse
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> Misan: resize your NTFS (In Win7 if you use it). Then install to the new free space
[00:30] <Misan> Yes I use win7. How am I supposed to resize my NTFS and what is the catch
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Misan: use disk manager, there are guides all over. You will then have a dual boot and can select the OS at boot time
[00:32] <Misan> thank you a lot sir :)
[00:32] <Misan> and what when I wan't to get rid of grub again?
[00:32] <Misan> is that even possible?
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> Misan: run a full backup just in case
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> Misan: you can boot to your windows install CD and reinstate the Windows boot loader
[00:33] <Misan> I see.. thank you

[00:41] <ebbers> ive installed ubuntu 12.04 a few times with different machines and everytime the audacity doesn't work right and the vlc program.Audacity doesn't record correctly and vlc won't stream
[00:42] <shade34321> ActionParsnip: Any other suggestions on my keyboard/mouse problem?
[00:43] <ebbers> went through several audio recommendations still no cure
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> shade34321: if you boot an older kernel, is it ok? If you set the BIOS to USB legacy mode is it ok?
[00:44] <ebbers> Has anyone tried to record audio with audacity in ubuntu 12.04?
[00:44] <dez82> Hi All
[00:44] <ebbers> Has anyone tried to stream audio with vlc on ubuntu 12.04?
[00:45] <builder> ActionParsnip: nah dude really? i just posted a one liner that uses the procfs to give you a per process swap usage report. i have no idea what the `free` command is though.
[00:45] <th0r> ebbers: have you tried removing Pulse?
[00:46] <dez82> I'm runing precise pangolin. Dual screens. I have 2 screens running in nouveau, but if I install the proprietory Nvidia Driver, it says i only have 1 screen andcalls it "laptop"
[00:46] <builder> does it have any other flags i should be aware of?
[00:46] <dez82> uninstalling the prop driver fixs the problem
[00:46] <ebbers> not yet what is the command remove pulseaudio?
[00:46] <dez82> but i'm running games which require it
[00:46] <michelfp> how do i install java?
[00:46] <dez82> and i dont want to have to turn the prop driver on and off
[00:47] <builder> dez82: dpkg --get-selections|grep -i pulse

[00:50] <builder> if you wanna get everything
[00:51] <ebbers> should i restart after removal before testing?
[00:52] <dez82> anybody come across this nvidia issue and fixed it?
[00:52] <gunarm> Psi-Jack, if you are interested, it turned out that the problem was the permissions on /media/vault.  after a sudo chmod a+rw /media/vault everything works fine
[00:53] <builder> ebbers: actually just do `pactl exit` first
[00:53] <gunarm> i knew it had to be something silly I was overlooking since everything else seemed to be right
[00:54] <Jagst3r15> any way this is a ubuntu issue and not chrome's fault? http://tinyurl.com/97hw62w

[01:02] <Hetep-AFK> hey, is there a way to make a html shortcut from an image?
[01:02] <Hetep-AFK> like a png file
[01:03] <shade34321> ActionParsnip: there is no legacy support in the BIOS and no they don't work with an older kernel, sorry for the delayed response takes me a while to get around the lab with a broken leg
[01:03] <ebbers> seams like its related to sample rate
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> shade34321: np man, totally understand
[01:05] <brandon> builder: It looks like it was my router level firewall. When I ran nmap against local, I didn't tell to look at ports>1024

[01:10] <Hetep-AFK> anybody know how to make a html shortcut from a png file?
[01:11] <W4sp> Hetep-AFK: You can create a html page that points to the URI of that image.
[01:12] <Hetep-AFK> W4sp, am not certain that is the personal intention
[01:12] <Hetep-AFK> am trying to make a png point to a url

[02:02] <hipitihop> ActionParsnip, general issue is 10.04 does not see the SSD so, so can't install, as it is not seen for repartitioning etc
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> hipitihop: what about in Precise?
[02:03] <hipitihop> 12.04, is fine, infact booted 12.04 livecd from flash stick, used gparted to create partiotion table + ext3 partition... boot 10.04 and fdisk -l does not see it
[02:05] <hipitihop> ActionParsnip, so I'm suspecting something in kernel either with the mobo or the drive. It is Sata3 drive, but have also tried running it on sata2 connector and still not visible in 10.04
[02:05] <lime_> I have been trying to load a Windows 7 iso onto a thumb drive, but keep running into issues
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> hipitihop: so why not install Precise?
[02:06] <lime_> I have tried unetbootin and grub4dos and both don't seem to work
[02:06] <cfhowlett> lime_: windows 7 not supported here
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> lime_: I've seen it possible with unetbootin if you format the stick NTFS first
[02:06] <lime_> in grub4dos I get error 60
[02:06] <hipitihop> ActionParsnip, it is not currently an option
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> lime_: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html
[02:07] <cfhowlett> lime_: but the one and ONLY bit of advice I can give is to use the windows tool http://windows7usbcreator.com/
[02:07] <hipitihop> ActionParsnip, and 10.04 is supported and recommendation is to wait for precise point release, don't want unity, other issues
[02:09] <MonkeyDust> hipitihop  if you don't want unity, don't use it, type !notunity for instructions
[02:09] <lime_> ActionParsnip: :) thanks I believe the thumb drive was FAT before I use unetbootin tool, and thanks cfhowlett I'll use that as a backup plan
[02:09] <hipitihop> MonkeyDust, sure, but need to stay on 10.04 for now. So how do I go forward.
[02:11] <hipitihop> ActionParsnip, not that I know how, but is it possible to bake a livecd/install that has 12.04 kernel instead ? or some other boot option incantation ?
[02:12] <JoeQuery> ActionParsnip: Script just finished running. Same error :-\
[02:12] <JoeQuery> E: Internal Error, No file name for libssl1.0.0
[02:12] <yeats> hipitihop: have you considered xubuntu?
[02:13] <hipitihop> yeats, apart from the window manager, what difference would that make ?
[02:14] <hipitihop> yeats, are you suggesting 12.04 based xubuntu ?
[02:14] <yeats> hipitihop: yes
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> JoeQuery: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a
[02:16] <hipitihop> yeats, thanks but it's not just a unity thing ... As I said earlier, 10.04 is supported, 12.04 recommendation is to wait until point release and other restrictions, I need to be on 10.04 Kubuntu
[02:16] <histo> hipitihop: you couldn't install a newer version of a kernel from backports possibly
[02:17] <yeats> hipitihop: who's recommendation is that?  I've been running 12.04 (X)ubuntu on several machines with no issues.
[02:17] <hipitihop> yeats, 12.04 release pages.
[02:17] <JoeQuery> ActionParsnip: https://gist.github.com/3391032
[02:18] <MonkeyDust> hipitihop  what exactly did you read on those pages?
[02:18] <hipitihop> yeats, I have also been running 12.04 on another machine ok to, not seemless but it has been fine too
[02:18] <namoamitabuddha> Can we use tar to backup the difference of the system?
[02:19] <namoamitabuddha> "incremental" but with the information of deletion.
[02:19] <hipitihop> MonkeyDust, something like "for critical installation, it is recommended you stay on 10.04 until first point release of 12.04" do't have link handy
[02:20] <MonkeyDust> hipitihop  link?
[02:20] <namoamitabuddha> MonkeyDust: He said that he did not have link handy.
[02:21] <MonkeyDust> ok, misread
[02:21] <trism> MonkeyDust: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS (for reference)
[02:22] <hipitihop> trism, thanks
[02:23] <hipitihop> histo, I like the idea, not sure how to achieve during an install
[02:24] <BrenRS> Can someone help me with installing ndiswrapper?
[02:24] <vram>  .
[02:24] <MonkeyDust> hipitihop  that is, because as of that first point release, you can upgrade directly from 10.04 to 12.04, until august 23, a fresh install would be needed
[02:25] <BrenRS> Pm me if you can help me with ndiswrapper
[02:26] <hipitihop> MonkeyDust, fair enough. Still leaves me with unsolved problem, why the 10.04 does not see the drive
[02:26] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: Only out of curiosity, why do you want that?
[02:27] <BrenRS> Private message me please if you can help me with installing ndiswrapper, thanks
[02:27] <cfhowlett> BrenRS: describe it in channel first
[02:28] <hipitihop> MonkeyDust, as I said, other restrictions not worth arguing over, I understand simplest solution is install 12.04, but it is not an option, so I'm trying to solve the problem using 10.04
[02:28] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: At first, it seems that if there's some driver for Linux, it's better to use that instead of the one for Windows.
[02:28] <BrenRS> I have a desktop I installed ubuntu amd64 on but I have it wirelessly connected. I am using the Netgear WNA3100 wireless adapter
[02:29] <BrenRS> I don't believe there is a driver for it
[02:29] <Bren> Hmm..
[02:29] <namoamitabuddha> Bren: USB device?
[02:29] <namoamitabuddha> Bren: USB wireless device?
[02:30] <Bren> Yeah I'm on my phone on this IRC so it won't auto update the messages until I send another so please excuse me
[02:31] <namoamitabuddha> Bren: Try to paste the result of `lsusb`
[02:32] <Bren> Huh? Yes it's a USB device, correct
[02:32] <namoamitabuddha> Bren: I want to get the ID of that device, in order to know whether there's a driver in new kernel.
[02:33] <Bren> Hold on, I'm going to use my laptop in a short while as its more convenient
[02:33] <Bren> The id
[02:33] <Bren> Like serial number?
[02:33] <namoamitabuddha> Bren: Yeah, get it from the command `lsusb`
[02:33] <Bren> The fcc I'd?
[02:34] <namoamitabuddha> fcc?
[02:34] <Bren> Is that L usb all together and all lowercase?
[02:34] <namoamitabuddha> !paste
[02:35] <Bren> For some reason it won't even recognize it. I
[02:35] <Bren> The blue light won't turn on
[02:35] <namoamitabuddha> lsusb
[02:36] <namoamitabuddha> What's the result?
[02:36] <Bren> I even have it plugged in without the wire extension and it's directly in the motherboard
[02:36] <hipitihop> I have to shoot out for a bit. Hope someone has a brilliant simple fix for me when I return :-)
[02:36] <Bren> lusb: command not found
[02:37] <bazhang> LSUSB small case Bren

[02:42] <Bren> Netgear wireless adapter ID 0846:9020
[02:43] <Bren> Okay sorry about the random messages my irc won't auto refresh until I type another message on my phone

[02:44] <Treaver> Hey I know the recommened build of Ubuntu is 32 bit. But I have a 64 bit, if I use the 64 bit version what is the difference.
[02:44] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1965989    <------ Bren SOLVED
[02:44] <Bren> .
[02:45] <bazhang> Treaver, if you have a 64bit machine use the 64bit OS
[02:48] <namoamitabuddha> bazhang: awful
[02:48] <bazhang> namoamitabuddha, what is
[02:48] <Bren> Okay my problem is that I can't get ndiswrapper installed... Not what are the steps I need to take in order to install ndiswrapper (assuming my desktop is "/home/bren/Desktop" and the file is located on my desktop called "ndiswrapper-1.57.tar.gz"
[02:49] <bazhang> Bren, the instructions are linked
[02:49] <gry> hi. virtualbox keeps complaining that a 'vboxdrv' isn't installed or isn't setup properly. I don't have a '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv' file. How do I install that (12.04)?

[02:51] <Bren> Getting on my laptop now sorry if I didn't see your messages
[02:51] <Bren> Please wait until I rejoin
[02:51] <ActionParsnip> gry: I'd ask in #vbox too :)
[02:52] <gry> ActionParsnip: indeed! :) they say ubuntu's version of the package is different; appears someone started helping in a longer bit however
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> gry: do you have linux-headers-generic installed?
[02:53] <RSWiki-Visitor-8> Okay hold on
[02:53] <JoeQuery> ActionParsnip: https://gist.github.com/3391032

[02:55] <BrenRS> Okay so the ID is 0846:9020
[02:55] <BrenRS> I have never used Linux before so you really have to help me out
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> BrenRS: and the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[02:56] <faousa> i need help someone?
[02:56] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: ndiswrapper is necessary now.
[02:56] <gry> ActionParsnip: I'll look at it, thanks
[02:56] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: It seems that there's no driver for linux for that device.
[02:56] <BrenRS> Output of lsb_release -sc is "precise"
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> gry: surely thats the FIRST page you would look at???
[02:56] <BrenRS> Which is exactly why I need ndiswrapper
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> BrenRS: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1965989
[02:56] <bazhang> faousa, whats the ubuntu support question
[02:57] <faousa> i bleed when i cry
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> BrenRS: is the system a laptop?
[02:57] <faousa> yes
[02:57] <faousa> hi t0mmy_dk
[02:57] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: I looked up some messages in linux kernel mailing list.
[02:57] <bazhang> faousa, WRONG channel
[02:57] <BrenRS> ActionParsnip, yes.
[02:57] <faousa> sorry
[02:57] <cfhowlett> faousa: I think you must be confused.  This is ubuntu support.
[02:57] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: Therefore the driver for linux is just building.
[02:57] <BrenRS> Do I need ndiswrapper? What about something called WINE?
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> BrenRS: then take it near the router and use a wired connection and get updated as well as install ndisgtk
[02:57] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: wine is used to run win32 programs.
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> BrenRS: you don't need wine
[02:58] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: You needn't use wine.
[02:58] <BrenRS> Err... I don't have one ethernet cable in this house long enough

[02:59] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: Eh, you can download the necessary file from another operating system, say Windows.
[02:59] <BrenRS> Yes, my laptop has Windows 7
[02:59] <BrenRS> I'd use that to transfer the file over
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> BrenRS: the laptop can be moved so even a 1m cable will do

[03:08] <ActionParsnip> BrenRS: reboot with the wire connected, may help
[03:08] <BrenRS> I have no clue what is installed. All I have done was install ubuntu version... (idk, I downloaded it last night) and then dragged one file to my desktop called "ndiswrapper-1.57.tar.gz"
[03:09] <BrenRS> that's all I've done
[03:09] <namoamitabuddha> MoTec: Ubuntu GNU/Linux is for people from all over the world, not only for English-native speakers.
[03:09] <BrenRS> and change some settings like font size, the icon sizes..
[03:09] <namoamitabuddha> MoTec: Well, be silent of this.
[03:09] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: Is your computer connected to Internet?
[03:09] <MoTec> namoamitabuddha: it's not about language.. it's about an inability to read or to even try..
[03:09] <BrenRS> Just going to watch this video and see how it goes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbviIHY8iiM
[03:10] <MoTec> He's been linked the instructions to resolve the problem and hasn't even tried the first step.. I doubt he's even opened the link.
[03:10] <BrenRS> namoamitabuddha, I can't connect to the internet without this driver lol... someone told me to connect an ethernet cable from my laptop to my desktop
[03:10] <BrenRS> so I did.
[03:10] <BrenRS> and it's not working
[03:10] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[03:10] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: Section 2.2
[03:10] <MoTec> 10th time is the charm, maybe?
[03:10] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: That's enough.
[03:11] <BrenRS> Well, it's not working
[03:11] <BrenRS> still...
[03:11] <BrenRS> even with it connected to my laptop
[03:12] <IdleOne> BrenRS: with the computer that has a working internet connection open https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper , read the info, do what it says.

[03:13] <BrenRS> I seriously don't know what to say
[03:17] <gry> ActionParsnip: great, the url you gave fixed the issue.. sorry that I didn't look at it first, the error message was pretty confusing and I ended up chasing things in a web search; thanks again
[03:18] <namoamitabuddha> bazhang: Regarding his faculty of English, !zh is highly needed.
[03:18] <IdleOne> really? What has he said that you were unable to parse?
[03:19] <IdleOne> namoamitabuddha: you issued !zh because he said it was all chinese to him. you going to do the same to me now because I mentioned the word chinese?
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> gry: np, websearch is your friend :)
[03:19] <namoamitabuddha> IdleOne: Nothing but I doubt he could not comprehend the wiki about ndiswrapper.
[03:20]  * cfhowlett OKAY!  Moving on now ...
[03:21] <namoamitabuddha> IdleOne: Fair enough. But I only see somebody said "blahblahblah is all Greek to me" to express that he was not able to understand.
[03:21] <namoamitabuddha> IdleOne: *say
[03:22] <bazhang> namoamitabuddha, thats enough. lets move on.
[03:22] <BrenRS> Yeah I'm not having any luck whatsoever
[03:24] <werkinsheir> Hello, im trying to install gnome3 but I keep falling back to classic.
[03:24] <bazhang> werkinsheir, what version of ubuntu
[03:24] <werkinsheir> 12.04 x64
[03:25] <bazhang> werkinsheir, thats already all gnome3
[03:25] <werkinsheir> I actually had it before but I had to do a fresh install as an upgrade form 10.10 -> 12.04 was causing issues
[03:25] <bazhang> perhaps you mean gnome-shell or gnome-panel werkinsheir
[03:25] <werkinsheir> no I was given unity upon the install
[03:25] <bazhang> !notunity | werkinsheir
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> werkinsheir: could just install xubuntu
[03:26] <BrenRS> Hello?
[03:26] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: It seems that the wiki page introduces how to install ndiswrapper clearly.
[03:26] <BrenRS> namoamitabuddah, This is my very first time using Linux, I don't even know what the hell I'm doing..
[03:26] <BrenRS> completely lost.
[03:26] <werkinsheir> Thats not a solution. I havea fresh install that would be counter productive
[03:26] <werkinsheir> well my problem is I am stuck in gnome-fallback
[03:26] <werkinsheir> AKA: looks like 10.04
[03:27] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: When I was first touching Ubuntu GNU/Linux, I just enumerated the commands to see what happened. I did not read enough documentations.
[03:27] <bazhang> werkinsheir, what happens when you install gnome-shell
[03:27] <werkinsheir> its already installed
[03:27] <werkinsheir> I am apparently using the gnome3 GDM but once I login it falls back
[03:28] <bazhang> werkinsheir, and so what errors come about when you select at the login window
[03:28] <werkinsheir> No error occurs
[03:28] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: That wiki page teaches you how to install ndiswrapper STEP BY STEP therefore it's not hard to read it.
[03:28] <trism> namoamitabuddha: it does leave out that you need to install ndiswrapper-dkms on 12.04 since the module isn't included by default anymore
[03:28] <bazhang> werkinsheir, you mean lightdm
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> werkinsheir: could install the xubuntu desktop, no unity there...
[03:28] <werkinsheir> the login manager looks like gnome3. It has the click in the middle of the newly designed style that gnome3 uses
[03:28] <BrenRS> So what's the version I have if I downloaded it last night, is it For 12.04 Precise Pangolin?
[03:28] <werkinsheir> *click = clock
[03:29] <cfhowlett> werkinsheir: or lxde ...
[03:29] <IdleOne> werkinsheir: check and see if Additional drivers offers anything, you might need to install proprietary graphics.
[03:29] <Elesa> Hi, can I install Ubuntu to a external USB Hard Drive?
[03:29] <cfhowlett> Elesa: yes with startup disk creator
[03:29] <Elesa> No, but.. like, a FULL install?
[03:29] <namoamitabuddha> BrenRS: You downloaded a source code tarball, not particularly for Ubuntu.
[03:29] <werkinsheir> oh yea that brings another point. I cant activate nvidia graphics with nvidia-xconfig. but that was another task
[03:29] <cfhowlett> Elesa: ... or not.  sorry, i typed b4 I thought
[03:30] <namoamitabuddha> *particular
[03:30] <Elesa> Are you sure? D:
[03:30] <Elesa> Can it only be a Live USB?
[03:30] <cfhowlett> Elesa: definitely can install to a USB
[03:30] <i7c> Elesa: yes that should be possible
[03:30] <Elesa> Great! I'm guiding my friend to do that, but I'm not at her side, so..
[03:31] <Elesa> Is Ubiquity going to do anything to her main hard drive? (her Windows is dead)
[03:31] <werkinsheir> okay ill have to brb to install
[03:31] <Elesa> It shouldn't install any funny stuff like GRUB, right?
[03:33] <cfhowlett> Elesa: by default grub is installed.  with advanced options at that point in the installation, you can choose NOT to install grub BUT - no bootloader = no boot.
[03:33] <IdleOne> Elesa: you will want to make sure you install grub to the USB and then make sure to set the BIOS to boot from USB, but no it should do anything to the internal HDD provided you select to correct drive to install to.
[03:34] <IdleOne> s/should/should not/
[03:36] <Elesa> Oh, OK.
[03:36] <Elesa> Just one last question.
[03:36] <cfhowlett> Elesa: ask
[03:36] <Elesa> Internal Hard Drives are usually /dev/sda1?
[03:36] <Elesa> or /dev/hda1?
[03:37] <werkinsheir> Installing additional drivers did not help. I was already using a driver for my graphics card
[03:37] <werkinsheir> I am unable to use nvidia-xconfig however; is this the root of my problem?
[03:37] <cfhowlett> Elesa: /dev/sda refers to an un-numbered storage device.  /dev/sda1 = 1st HDD found, etc.  same protocal for /dev/hda
[03:37] <IdleOne> Elesa: /dev/sda sda1 is your first partition. so if the USB HDD is /dev/sdb that is where you want to install grub.
[03:38] <Elesa> Wow, great answers. xD
[03:38] <Elesa> I remember there was a command to list the USB drives connected to the computer.
[03:38] <Elesa> Could you guys tell me what is it so that I can tell her and prevent a disaster? xD
[03:39] <IdleOne> lsusb but you might want to use sudo blkid
[03:39] <cfhowlett> Elesa: without knowing her hardware specs???  PROBABLY /dev/sda1 but ...
[03:39] <Elesa> I just tried blkid to test my own USB pendrive, didn't work..
[03:39] <Elesa> Or she can check with GParted, right?
[03:39] <cfhowlett> Elesa: exactly
[03:40] <Elesa> Yay. xD
[03:40] <IdleOne> Elesa: you need to use sudo with blkid
[03:40] <ace> really?
[03:40] <Elesa> Oh, OK.
[03:40] <Elesa> Pendrive was /dev/sdc
[03:40] <Elesa> Well, I think those were all my doubts. Thanks! >_<

[03:41] <kwtm> Am looking for how to look at QCAD documentation; package name = "qcad-doc".  The command "apt-cache policy qcad-doc" shows that this package is installed.  "[sudo] apt-file list qcad-doc" gives no output (I just get the prompt back).  "apt-get install qcad-doc" yields the message that qcad-doc is already installed at the newest version.  How can I find the files from the qcad-doc package?  I just need to read them.
[03:42] <Elesa> Good night. <3
[03:45] <trism> kwtm: looks like it should be in /usr/share/doc/qcad/ if you are on 11.10 or less (could check: dpkg -L qcad-doc;), package seems to be gone in 12.04
[03:46] <kwtm> trism: Thanks for the tip on "dpkg -L".  I had no success with "apt-file list".
[03:51] <bz> holy scheisse, nasa.gov
[03:51] <JoeQuery> I'm getting "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/wacom-plus/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found" on apt-get update.
[03:51] <JoeQuery> Anyone have a suggestion?
[03:52] <bz> JoeQuery: pastebin /etc/apt/sources.lst
[03:52] <JoeQuery> bz: Will do.
[03:53] <JoeQuery> I'm trying to diagnose a bigger problem that's preventing me from apt-get upgrade. If you could take a look at those, that would be great. https://gist.github.com/3365121 and part 2: https://gist.github.com/3390776
[03:53] <trism> JoeQuery: latest release supported by the ppa is natty (so not precise builds)
[03:54] <JoeQuery> Ah
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> kwtm: try:  sudo updatedb; locate qcad
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> JoeQuery: http://ppa.launchpad.net/doctormo/wacom-plus/ubuntu/dists/    only supports up to natty
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> bz: the ppa only suports up to natty, not precise :)
[04:01] <bz> ActionParsnip: down to*
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> bz: if you get those, copy the URL up to the word 'dists' I bet that it doesn;t suppoort the release :)
[04:01] <bz> ActionParsnip: don't make assumptions, could be another problem besides that
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> bz: karmic to natty is supported by the ppa
[04:01] <bz> ActionParsnip: ah, pardon me, i thought natty was after precise for some stupid reason
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> bz: the link given by the asker shows precise
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> bz: alphabet ;)
[04:02] <bz> ActionParsnip: ye, i had to go 'jklmno..p'
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> bz: i do that too
[04:02] <bz> ActionParsnip: clearly i need more red bull
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> bz: can't have too much imho, tasty
[04:06] <CellTech> How do I 'un soften' the text on my desktop and stuff?
[04:06] <CellTech> It's cloudy looking
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> CellTech: ubuntu tweak can do that
[04:07] <CellTech> A download I take it?
[04:07] <CellTech> Oh. I'm on xfce as well
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> CellTech: should still apply afaik its gtk based
[04:08] <CellTech> Ok. Thank you. I'm searching Software center now for it
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> celltech: you'll need a ppa
[04:17] <MykleSea> Hi guys. does anyone know  how come my linux commands arent working through php? for example  ("exec()")  ?
[04:18] <bkc_> MykleSea: have you turned off the safety-flag in php.conf?
[04:19] <MykleSea> where is php.conf?  ive researched and everyone says php.ini safemode. but i dont have a php.ini... :( when i look for it. i find python.. i didnt set up the server unfortunately :(
[04:19] <bkc_> /etc/php.cnf YMMW
[04:19] <bkc_> ymmv*
[04:21] <Larr> hi
[04:21] <MykleSea> under etc. i found  php3.. i went htere..  i have confd...  and inside theres mysqli.ini..  mysql.ini.. pdo.ini.. and pdo_mysql.ini
[04:21] <bkc_> ooh... no idea about php3 :/
[04:22] <bkc_> I use php5 :/
[04:22] <MykleSea> oh i think i found it!
[04:22] <bkc_> sudo find /etc | grep php.conf
[04:22] <bkc_> ^^
[04:22] <MykleSea> well i found a php.ini..  i need to look for the safemode thing tho
[04:23] <MykleSea> it says safemode is already off! :(
[04:23] <bkc_> o.O
[04:23] <bkc_> well... what does it actually say when you execute the command? also, what command :)
[04:23] <MykleSea> it doesnt say anything
[04:23] <MykleSea> im trying to get it to execute a shel lscript
[04:23] <Larr> hi does anyone have idea why precise freezes? it stops working for sometime , but sometimes i've to hard reboot it
[04:23] <bkc_> well... obviously ^^
[04:24] <MykleSea> u know in notepad ++..  in a php file, when you type a function, it turns blue? it doesnt even turn blue
[04:24] <bkc_> Larr: what graphics-card you got? :)
[04:24] <Larr> bkc_: it's using 845g ,
[04:24] <Larr> built in thing i should say
[04:25] <bkc_> MykleSea: well... what does that have to do with php.ini? ^^
[04:25] <Larr> very old computer, made in 2003
[04:25] <bkc_> Larr: I'm guessing a really old crappy intel-carD? then your f'd until they fix the intel-driver :(
[04:25] <MykleSea> well i figured MAYBE even tho it doesnt turn blue..... it might still execute... except php.ini may have had safemode on.. which it doesnt =[
[04:25] <bkc_> MykleSea: pastebin
[04:26] <Larr> bkc_: even it doesnt allow me to send error reports
[04:26] <bkc_> I'm guessing this is more of a php-question than a ubuntu one :P
[04:26] <Larr> saying I have some obsolete packages
[04:27] <MykleSea> im not sure... it consists of both linux and php working together...
[04:27] <Larr> some time it just blinks
[04:27] <Larr> the whole screen goes black
[04:27] <bkc_> Larr: well... there are multiple bug-reports for that problem, on basicaly every distro... but mesa (or tungsten, don't remember) won't fix it because the card is to old... same problem on my GMA945...
[04:27] <MykleSea> anyways. this is my really simple code..
[04:27] <MykleSea> http://pastebin.com/embed_iframe.php?i=GpHuDfzG
[04:28] <bkc_> there's your problem...
[04:28] <MykleSea> ive done it without the "echo".. and also without the "sudo"
[04:28] <bkc_> sudo
[04:28] <MykleSea> it doens work without sudo either
[04:28] <bkc_> "You are not in the sudoers file"...
[04:28] <bkc_> wait... you want it to write the return-code? o.O
[04:29] <MykleSea> no
[04:29] <bkc_> and what's in 'test.sh'?
[04:29] <MykleSea> i just want it to run my shel lscript
[04:29] <Larr> i have been user of ubuntu since 2007, but it seems Ubuntu is also doing same thing what they accuse Microsoft of
[04:29] <MykleSea> my shell script simply moves files from one place to another
[04:29] <MykleSea> it works when i run it in putty / linux
[04:29] <MykleSea> so i just need to get it to run from php.. on linux
[04:29] <bkc_> paste the shell-script :)
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> Larr: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove    will remove unecessary packages
[04:30] <Programmer_> if i have grub2 installed should i remove grub
[04:30] <bkc_> Larr: If, by that, you mean bad support for old hw... it's not really ubuntus fault... it's mesa... as they have 100+ other bugs related to newer more actively used card that has to be fixed first...
[04:31] <bkc_> Larr: you can "fix" it by disabling composition
[04:31] <Belial`> will any newer versions of unity get backported to 12.04 once future releases reach final?
[04:31] <bkc_> Programmer_: well... that depends on what you mean by removing grub :/
[04:31] <MykleSea> http://pastebin.com/embed_iframe.php?i=8FGn7xAq
[04:31] <Programmer_> sudo apt-get install grub <- that one is the one i want to know if i can remove
[04:32] <bkc_> Programmer_: afaik, yes... but have a boot-cd handy just in case...
[04:32] <MykleSea> the shell script itself works. i know it does. ive tested it..  i just need to run it from a website.. thats all..  some kind of an administrator panel
[04:32] <Larr> ActionParsnip: maybe that will solve reporting problem , what about the other one, my computer freezes. i haven't seen my Windows installation freeze since ages, and this precise couple of times in an hour
[04:33] <Larr> bkc_: mesa?
[04:33] <bkc_> MykleSea: remove the 'sudo' part and try it... does the script do what it should do.... except for the echo-part?
[04:33] <allure> I'm having random logoffs and freezes on ubuntu 12.04 LTS. My suspition is that it has something to do with the video card beeing from nvidia... any ideas on how to solve this?
[04:33] <MykleSea> i removed sudo.   i have no new files in the test directory
[04:33] <Larr> is it a  graphics driver?
[04:34] <Larr> allure: yea same here buddy
[04:34] <allure> Larr, nvidia too?
[04:34] <Larr> they have broken it
[04:34] <Larr> no, mine is built-in
[04:34] <Larr> thing
[04:34] <MykleSea> and  no it doesnt  copy the files
[04:34] <Larr> but the effect is same for all
[04:34] <Sagenth> I need some extensive help, i don't know what to do at this point
[04:34] <allure> hmmm... I thought it could be memory, then I let the memory test run for a whole day and got no errors
[04:35] <allure> probably a xorg and vga issue
[04:35] <fijil> join
[04:35] <bkc_> allure: dump the /var/log/Xorg.0.log to pastebin and I'll have a look :)
[04:35] <Sagenth> installed proprietary nvidia drivers and now there is no gui showing up when I boot up
[04:35] <allure> ok bkc_ , just a min =-)
[04:35] <fijil> hai
[04:36] <fijil> system program reporting problem in my system
[04:36] <fijil> a pop up is comming
[04:36] <bkc_> MykleSea: just for starters, $ret=exec("derp.sh"); will assign the return-code of the executed program to $ret... not the stdout-put :)
[04:36] <bkc_> Sagenth: nvidia-xconfig
[04:37] <MykleSea> even if i did just exec("./test.sh")  it still wouldnt work
[04:37] <allure> bkc_, it's almost empy, must have rotated
[04:37] <Larr> bkc_: what about my Xorg log, doesn't it suit mine?
[04:37] <fijil> pls mention which is the answer for me
[04:38] <bkc_> allure: then look for ERROR (or [E]) and give me that file :)
[04:38] <bkc_> Larr: sure, fire away :)
[04:38] <fijil> pls help me
[04:38] <bkc_> fijil: more info and I'll try :)
[04:38] <BrenRS> Hello can someone help me with installing the Netgear WNA3100 driver? (ID 0846:9020)
[04:38] <bkc_> fijil: also, it's "please"... not "pls"
[04:39] <fijil> k frnd
[04:39] <Sagenth> bkc_ I get an error when I do that. " validation error: data incomplete in file /etc/x11/xorg.conf/nDevice section "Default Device" must have a Driver line."
[04:39] <allure> bkc_,  I guesst the only (EE) I see is [156962.630] (EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0) .. :/
[04:39] <Larr> ok bkc_ in a min
[04:40] <allure> bkc_, I can force the freeze/logout, though... maybe if I get it to fail once again
[04:40] <allure> ;)
[04:41] <bkc_> BrenRS: a quit google-search resulted in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMYBWMD6cg8 ... please use google more ^^
[04:41] <BrenRS> Please private message me if you can help me with installing the Netgear WNA3100 wireless driver (windows) on Ubuntu 12.04 (USB ID 0846:9020)
[04:41] <fijil> system program  report error
[04:42] <fijil> please help me to solve the issue
[04:42] <fizyplankton> is is possible to renumber partitions? like make /dev/sdc2 become /dev/sdc1?
[04:43] <fijil> please
[04:43] <MykleSea> bkc.. so how do i just get my php button to juts run the script ? no return value.. no string.. none of that.. just execute the script
[04:44] <BrenRS> bkc_: The problem is that I cannot connect to the internet now
[04:44] <fijil> what is the cause behind the "system program report error"
[04:44] <bkc_> BrenRS: then use another computer and transfer it to a usb-stick or burn it to a disk
[04:44] <Larr> bkc_: http://pastebin.com/P00ThYgR
[04:45] <BrenRS> bkc_: The driver is a .exe windows installer
[04:47] <bkc_> Larr: [   741.281] (EE) intel(0): Detected a hung GPU, disabling acceleration. <-- there is your problem... I'd guess overheating
[04:47] <bkc_> BrenRS: not if you download the linux-driver...
[04:47] <BrenRS> bkc_: There is no linux driver... want to search for it?
[04:47] <Larr> bkc_: overheating?
[04:48] <Larr> sorry I don't know what you just said
[04:48] <BrenRS> bkc_: ID 0846:9020
[04:49] <bkc_> Larr: It gets to warm... and turns itself of
[04:49] <Larr> bkc_: so is it a hardware problem?
[04:49] <bkc_> BrenRS: google: netgear wna3100 ubuntu driver
[04:49] <bkc_> you will find it...
[04:50] <bkc_> Larr: it's a heat problem...
[04:50] <Larr> bkc_ so exactly what should I do , to get rid of this problem?
[04:51] <bkc_> MykleSea: tryr this one: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.passthru.php
[04:52] <bkc_> Larr: cool it down... make sure your laptop (I'm guessing) isn't to hot...
[04:52] <BrenRS> bkc_: you're not getting it... I AM NOT connected to the internet
[04:52] <bkc_> BrenRS: well... of course you are... you're on IRC aren't you? talking to me... on the *internet*
[04:52] <yahooshua> Question on Wine: If you have a dual-boot (ubuntu and win7) is it possible to integrate Wine on Ubuntu with the Win7 partition? For example point libraries and C: at the libraries and C: on the Win 7 Partition?
[04:53] <BrenRS> bkc_: I'm on my laptop which has windows 7 on it
[04:53] <BrenRS> so therefore NO
[04:53] <BrenRS> I'm NOT connected to the internet like I said
[04:53] <BrenRS> I'm using my laptop for IRC and the desktop is the one with ubuntu
[04:53] <cfhowlett> yahooshua: possible?  maybe...but WHY?  You've got windows, just run your apps there...
[04:53] <bkc_> yahooshua: don't do that... I've done it... and f'd up both the wine-setup and the win7-installation...
[04:53] <allure> bkc_, now I'm unable to reproduce the failure... bleh =D
[04:54] <allure> things just don't break as we want it

[04:54] <WACOMalt> hey folks, wondering how I can add LAMP serving to the non-server version of Ubuntu 12.04?
[04:54] <bkc_> yahooshua: alternative it to set up virtualbox and boot it from a physical partition... that is, if your computer can handle it...
[04:54] <allure>  sorry
[04:54] <cfhowlett> yahooshua: notr to mention that integrating the wine emulator with genuine win7 will likely cause a cascade failure worse than black mesa
[04:55] <rf_c0d3d> hello people
[04:55] <MykleSea> i dont think php recognizes passthru or exec as functions.. how come?
[04:55] <bkc_> BrenRS: as I said earlier... usb-stick or burn it to a cd/dvd... or floppy... if you have the drive/disk/size
[04:55] <bkc_> MykleSea: turn on debugging in php.ini
[04:55] <BrenRS> bkc_: You don't get it!!! It says to go into Ubuntu Software Center... how is that possible if I can't connect to the internet on my desktop? I am on the IRC on my LAPTOP
[04:56] <bkc_> WACOMalt: google, 'ubuntu desktop install LAMP server'
[04:56] <bkc_> WACOMalt: It's a simple sudo apt-get install command...
[04:57] <fizyplankton> yahooshua: sort of. i am assuming that your win partition is /dev/sda1 (if you know that this is not the case, tell me). type into the terminal sudo mkdir /media/win7; sudo echo "/dev/sda1 /mnt/win7 ntfs defaults,users,rw 0 0" >> /etc/fstab; sudo mount /dev/sda1. then in wine, change the c drive to be /media/win7
[04:57] <WACOMalt> bkc_: all the search results I find for 12.04 are about the server edition
[04:57] <WACOMalt> and start by saying "install server edition"
[04:57] <fizyplankton> sudo echo "/dev/sda1 /media/win7*
[04:58] <yahooshua> cfhowlett: I'd run it out of Win7 but I'd have to re-boot to do it. Or use VM to access that partition. Which I haven't firgured out how to do.
[04:58] <xangua> BrenRS: if you have an ubuntu cd you can install ndiwsrapper from it
[04:59] <jagginess> ndiswrapper is horrible.. avoid it as much as possible
[04:59] <jagginess> unless you really do have no choice to get networking going
[04:59] <fizyplankton> i agree. ndiswrapper is only for the absolute desperate...... like me. and i hate it
[04:59] <xangua> BrenRS: you need to mark the Cd as install source in Software Center>Edit>Sources
[05:00] <florian> Hello everybody :)
[05:00] <yahooshua> fizyplankton: a few others are saying it will be bad bad bad
[05:00] <yahooshua> bkc_: haven't figured out how to do that.
[05:00] <raymond_> I have a web app that's stuck on the media player area of the unity bar.  How do I get rid of it?
[05:00] <yahooshua> bkc_ have a page on that?
[05:01] <bkc_> yahooshua: virtualbox windows physical disk <-- google
[05:01] <raymond_> I'd like to do so without disturbing my other webapps, and I can't seem to find the answer on google :(
[05:01] <fizyplankton> yahooshua: thats why i said sort of. it CAN be done, but it is a terrible idea.
[05:01] <xangua> BrenRS: and of course put the cd in the reader :P
[05:02] <fizyplankton> is is possible to renumber partitions? like make /dev/sdc2 become /dev/sdc1?
[05:02] <yahooshua> bkc_: plus that takes up resources slowing down the CPU; right?
[05:02] <bkc_> yahooshua: afaik it's on the virtualbox wiki :)
[05:02] <xangua> raymond_: sounds like a 12.10 stuff /join #ubuntu+1
[05:02] <raymond_> thanks xangua
[05:02] <bkc_> yahooshua: ofc... you'd be running 2 operating systems simultaniously...
[05:03] <BrenRS> xangua, the disc is a windows installer.
[05:03] <bkc_> so... have I forgotten someone?
[05:03] <yahooshua> bkc_: I've googled all day long and tried a few things... OH! I gave up on it as I'm sharing a storage partition which if both Installs were running at the same time, it would corrupt my storage partition
[05:03] <fizyplankton> bkc_: lol. i get that feeling ever time i start helping people on irc
[05:03] <Larr> hello people! suggest me some good ubuntu version preferrably lighter
[05:04] <bkc_> fizyplankton: no shit :P
[05:04] <ariel__> can anybody tell me where the ubuntu server chat is
[05:04] <xangua> raymond_: but for the record you can add, delete, blacklist etc. that sound indicator stuff with Dconf Editor (softare center) and go to Com>canonical>indicator>sound
[05:05] <raymond_> xangua, thanks
[05:05] <yahooshua> bkc_: fizyplankton: cfhowlett: thank you
[05:05] <xangua> fizyplankton: Lubuntu is the lightest ubuntu flavor
[05:05] <yahooshua> byw
[05:05] <raymond_> xangua++
[05:05] <bkc_> Larr: there are no "lighter" ubuntu-versions... however, you have lubuntu and xubuntu... alse there's (at least was) a base-version which gives you a clean installation
[05:05] <yahooshua> bye
[05:06] <bkc_> Larr: but after ~4years of ubuntu, I moved to arch linux instead... much lighter as it's *clean* on install ^^
[05:06] <Larr> bkc_: something which is stable , ofcourse lubuntu or xubuntu, but it must be officially supported and should be stable , I don't want to headbanging
[05:07] <Larr> I have spent enough tim rebooting and trying to search for its problem
[05:07] <Larr> this 12.04 doesnt suit me for sure
[05:07] <fizyplankton> Larr: in the grand scheme of things, if you dont want to be headbanging, then why are you using linux? hell, why are you even using a computer?
[05:07] <bkc_> I run arch on several sharp servers... no problem, as long as you check the updates before installing them :/
[05:07] <bkc_> fizyplankton: +1 :D
[05:08] <allure> bkc_, yeah... it has freezed once again :)
[05:08] <Larr> fizyplankton: computer is supposed to solve my problem , I am not supposed to get it working
[05:08] <Larr> and stop trolling
[05:09] <allure> bkc_, only error I can find:  Xorg[1209] general protection ip:7fd4e8c060f9 sp:7fff808a2170 error:0 in nvidia_drv.so[7fd4e8ba4000+6e1000]
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> bkc_: is the RAM healthy?
[05:13] <bkc_> ActionParsnip: ?
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> bkc_: you can test the ram from grub
[05:14] <rio_> hi
[05:14] <Elesa> Hi again.
[05:14] <Larr> ActionParsnip: are you an OP here? I may want to report somethig
[05:14] <rio_> hwaat?
[05:14] <Elesa> How do I select where I want to install Ubuntu?
[05:14] <Elesa> I want to install it to a external USB Hard Drive.
[05:14] <rio_> I don't know
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> Larr: i'm not an op, try #ubuntu-ops
[05:15] <bkc_> ActionParsnip: I have no problems with my ram :)
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> bkc_: you sure?
[05:15] <rio_> yes
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> bkc_: when did you last test it?
[05:15] <rio_> secret
[05:15] <bkc_> ActionParsnip: ~1w ago?
[05:15] <bkc_> ActionParsnip: always do it when installing a new OS...
[05:15] <fizyplankton> Larr: if you urgently need an op, type !ops. that will make ubottu ping all ops. but its ONLY for a channel emergancy
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> bkc_: ok cool :)
[05:16] <Larr> fizyplankton: I was about to report what you said awhile ago
[05:16] <IdleOne> Larr: you can join #ubuntu-ops to report.
[05:16] <Larr> thanks
[05:16] <Elesa> Help?
[05:17] <IdleOne> Elesa: You need to select Advanced at the partitioning part of the install
[05:17] <Elesa> Well, I'm going to show you a screenshot.
[05:18] <fizyplankton> Larr: thats what i figured, but personally i doubt that the ops will get mad at me since that wasnt really trolling, that was just a light joke. and im here forn support, just like the other people here. some of the ops may even recognize me as a long time member, but then again, knowing my luck, they may not. if you took offence to it, i apologize sincerely
[05:21] <Larr> my problem statement is simple. Either I want my 12.04 to work for me, or some other light version STABLE os that will work for me
[05:21] <Larr> simple as that
[05:21] <Larr> I need nothing more
[05:21] <Elesa> Lubuntu
[05:21] <Elesa> <3
[05:21] <Larr> Elesa: which one?
[05:21] <bkc_> Larr: Lubuntu... or Xubuntu...
[05:21] <IdleOne> Larr: try both Lubuntu and Xubuntu, see which you prefer
[05:21] <Elesa> Lubuntu 12.04 or Xubuntu 12.04 o.o
[05:22] <bkc_> latest?
[05:22] <Larr> right now I am using lubuntu 12.04 , but I heard everything is same under the hood
[05:22] <Elesa> if your PC isn't very old you can try Xubuntu
[05:22] <IdleOne> Larr: that is correct.
[05:22] <Elesa> Yes, everything is the same. It's only a different desktop environment. Lubuntu and Xubuntu have lightweight desktop environments, but both can do what Ubuntu does.
[05:22] <Elesa> They are compatible with every Ubuntu apps.
[05:22] <Elesa> app*
[05:23] <fizyplankton> Larr: have you tried an older version of ubuntu? i am using 10.04LTS, and have never had any problems with it. since its been out longer, its had more time to had the bugs ironed out. you might want to give it a try, although unfortunantly, support will br terminated in 2013
[05:23] <Elesa> Well.. IdleOne
[05:23] <Elesa> http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=4713
[05:23] <Elesa> http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=4714
[05:23] <Elesa> That's what my friend gets.
[05:24] <Elesa> I'm not sure what we should do there.
[05:24] <Larr> 2013 , that's the reason I jumped from hardy to precise, I believe in LTS
[05:24] <Elesa> /dev/sda is her internal HDD. /dev/sdc is the external one where we want to install Ubuntu.
[05:24] <Larr> but I think I have to re-think my options
[05:24] <fizyplankton> Larr: are you using a server edition?
[05:24] <Larr> desktop
[05:25] <crimsonmane> 10.04 is LTS ... and if you use it right up to EOL, then 12.04 will have more time to iron out.
[05:25] <fizyplankton> instead of jumping to precise, stop midway at lucid. its less of a traumatic transition
[05:25] <IdleOne> Elesa: /dev/sdc is the USB. She can scroll down to sdc.
[05:25] <Elesa> Larr, if you are used to GNOME 2 and don't want to use Unity, you might want to use Xubuntu, since it's a nice alternative and similar to GNOME 2.
[05:25] <Elesa> Or you might try installing MATE. But I'd use Xubuntu.
[05:26] <Elesa> IdleOne: Then what? She selects it and..?
[05:26] <IdleOne> Elesa: then format it to ext4.
[05:27] <Elesa> But.. The /dev/sda won't be formatted or anything? I don't want to be responsible for a terrible mistake. x_x
[05:27] <bkc_> Larr: ubuntu is stable as long as you don't use testing... I'd say LTS for servers and just upgrade the Desktop :/
[05:27] <Elesa> She has to select the Format? checkbox, right?
[05:27] <jagginess> Elesa, backup.
[05:27] <fizyplankton> Elesa: correct. and if you want to make ABSOLUTELY sure, pull the HDD from the comp
[05:27] <jagginess> Elesa, always.
[05:27] <jagginess> Elesa, backup.
[05:27] <jagginess> Elesa, always.
[05:27] <jagginess> ^
[05:28] <jagginess> Elesa, you're new and will screw something up.
[05:28] <IdleOne> !enter | jagginess
[05:28] <Elesa> Well, I don't think she really wants to open her computer, so I'll tell her to disable it on BIOS.
[05:29] <Elesa> Thanks guys. =D
[05:29] <jagginess> no, just that time.. because nobody is telling her to "BACKUP".
[05:29] <ariel__> can anybody tell me the ubuntu server chat
[05:29] <fizyplankton> oh come on. at lease give her the benefit of the doubt. its not like she shuffled the names of everything in /bin
[05:29] <Elesa> lol
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> ariel__: #ubuntu-server
[05:29] <Elesa> rm -rf /* :(
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> !danger
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> !ops
[05:29] <berryhwite> data loss sucks. there are people who backup, and people who will (after they learn)
[05:29]  * jagginess wants Elesa kicked.
[05:29] <jagginess> Elesa that's not good.
[05:30] <Elesa> It's not like I told someone to type that lol
[05:30] <jagginess> geez
[05:30] <Elesa> Sorry.
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> Elesa: why even bother?
[05:30] <IdleOne> Elesa: Don't say it at all
[05:30] <bkerensa> Elesa: Please do not do that again
[05:30] <IdleOne> let's move on.
[05:30] <fizyplankton> could be worse. could be "sudo !!
[05:30] <fizyplankton> "
[05:30] <jagginess> there's always a curious roamers around new to linux wanting to try out stuff and bad.
[05:31] <Elesa> fizyplankton: What does that do? o_o
[05:31] <Elesa> jagginess: True, I'm sorry xD
[05:32] <fizyplankton> Elesa: bad things. the !! means repeat the previous command. inthis case is repeats your forbidden command as root. it will also bite you so hard in the butt that  you wont be able to poop
[05:32] <devilz> i just installed wubi but i am not able to connect to wireless networks through it can anyone help me plz?
[05:33] <bkc_> devilz: does the network-card show up in network-manager?
[05:33] <devilz> bkc_: how to check that?
[05:33] <Elesa> Wow.
[05:34]  * jagginess wishes trying out ubuntu in windows would mean a prepackaged vm with virtual box instead of WUBI.
[05:34] <bkc_> well... there's a nice button next to that clock-thingy on upper-right corner of the screen... press it ^^
[05:34] <Larr> thanks for your time
[05:34] <bkc_> jagginess: indeed
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> jagginess: could use virtualbox instead...
[05:34] <Elesa> But that would be slow with Unity. D:
[05:34] <bkc_> Elesa: depends...
[05:35] <jagginess> talking about suggesting for a uplift/replacement of a "wubi" download link.
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> Elesa: then use unity2d, or install lubuntu
[05:35] <jagginess> thing is often people come in later asking to resize their windows partitions once they've installed wubi..
[05:35] <devilz> bkc_: i don;t see options to connect to a wireless network there...
[05:36] <devilz> it only shows wired network
[05:36] <devilz> i guess i don;t have the required drivers
[05:36] <bkc_> devilz: then you need to install the driver for the network-card
[05:36] <Elesa> devilz, maybe you need the wireless propietary drivers.
[05:36] <jagginess> (at least seeing that it's a vm, they would know they are really just trying out ubuntu)
[05:36] <devilz> how can i install those?
[05:37] <bkc_> jagginess: and then virtualbox caprutes the mouse and puts them in fullscreen-mode... without telling them how to disable it xD
[05:37] <bkc_> devilz: google, usb-stick :)
[05:37] <devilz> bkc_: usb stick?
[05:38] <bkc_> usb-drive* ... some for of external storage-device... external harddrive works to
[05:38] <bkc_> or just a cd/dvd
[05:39] <devilz> bkc_: lol i knw what a usb drive is :P....i was asking why i need one?
[05:39] <bkc_> download the driver on the computer you're @ now... and transfer them to the ubuntu computer :)
[05:39] <Elesa> Umm.. Do all BIOS let you disable the Internal Hard Drives? ._.
[05:39] <bkc_> Elesa: havn't found one that doesn't...
[05:40] <devilz> bkc_: do i need to install windows drivers or there are seperate ones for ubuntu ?
[05:40] <Elesa> I'm trying to find out how to do that in the BIOS for a HP Pavilion G4 computer
[05:40] <bkc_> devilz: google... I have no idea what driver, any less what card you have/need... so I really can't say
[05:41] <devilz> bkc_: k i try to find it
[05:41] <devilz> bkc_:thanks a lot for help
[05:41] <bkc_> np
[05:43] <Elesa> Isn't there a way to make Ubiquity ignore the internal hard drive or something? >_>
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> Elesa: use the 'something else' option and you can partition another storage to hold the OS
[05:45] <Elesa> ActionParsnip, I just want to make sure that the internal hard drive isn't formatted by a Ubiquity bug or something..
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> Elesa: if you tell the installer which partition is / and which is swap, it won't use anything else
[05:46] <Elesa> W-Well..
[05:46] <Elesa> http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/img/1345353698Captura%20de%20pantalla%20de%202012-08-19%2005:21:42.png <-- So I'm guessing my friend has to mark the checkbox on /dev/sdc1?
[05:48] <wilee-nilee> Notice that grub is pointed at the sdc drive as well if sdc1 is the one where you want the OS that is correct.
[05:48] <wilee-nilee> Elesa, ^^^^^
[05:49] <Elesa> lol, how did Ubiquity know? xD
[05:49] <Elesa> OK.
[05:49] <ow> cool, TIL about !!
[05:50] <wilee-nilee> Elesa, sheer luck always check that box is pointed to where the install goes or where you want it
[05:50] <Penartist> Hey, guys
[05:50] <Elesa> Okie. I guess that if she doesn't touches the /dev/sda at all, nothing will happen to it?
[05:50] <RPG-Master> According to Disk Utility, my hard drive has "a few bad sectors".  What's the deal and what do I do?
[05:50] <Penartist> I screwed around with the sound after installing 12.04 LTS on my gen 1 macbook.
[05:50] <wilee-nilee> the HD=sdc that is not the partition unless you want it there
[05:51] <knobcore> RPG, back up your stuff and get a new drive
[05:51] <knobcore> your drive will die soon
[05:51] <Penartist> Gnome Control Center shows my main output as "Dummy Output," and I can't hear a thing.
[05:51] <Elesa> Oh.
[05:51] <knobcore> penartist, run the alsa configuration tool
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> Elesa: it knew by looking at the existing partition table
[05:52] <Elesa> We want to install it to /dev/sdc.. Could someone please guide me/us step by step? I mean at the partitioning stuff?
[05:52] <Penartist> I tried unmuting all the channels in alsamixer
[05:52] <Elesa> I know how to partition that, but I'm not very experienced.
[05:52] <MykleSea> okay .. so i think my biggest problem is that php isnt recognizing the exec function... does anyone know why or how to fix this?
[05:52] <RPG-Master> knobcore: But Disk Utility had a little green dot, not a red dot next to the error message... doesn't that mean it isn't about to die and it's just an issue?
[05:52] <wilee-nilee> true if it saw not unallocated or ext type partition that makes sense.
[05:52] <wilee-nilee> no*
[05:52] <Elesa> ActionParsnip, I see.
[05:53] <knobcore> RPG, occasionally you may get errors and are somewhat still above threshold
[05:53] <knobcore> RPG, if you know how to access SMART data look for seek and read errors, that's usually a tell tale sign
[05:53] <qdb> hello. i added "/ " to disallowed places in etc / updatedb conf, that is a search command config. is not it heavily used by ubuntu desktop / menu search  and so required ?
[05:54] <jagginess> qdb, that's only for the locate command in cli
[05:54] <qdb> jagginess, hank you
[05:54] <RPG-Master> knobcore: Crap, Googled it and I guess it's has the potential to cause terrible, horrible problems. This ain't good. :(
[05:54] <qdb> thank you
[05:55] <jagginess> qdb, unless you're talking about a front-end to locate for something on desktop, there are alternatives to this so that users can have ~ in their search database..
[05:55] <Penartist> The alsa configuration tool doesn't do anything for the sound on my laptop.
[05:55] <knobcore> RPG, yeah once you start getting bad sectors on your disk it's time to throw it out and get a new one... they're relatively cheap these days
[05:55] <Penartist> Can't hear a thing and can't switch my output away from Dummy Output.
[05:55] <jagginess> qdb, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines#Desktop_search_engines
[05:56] <qdb> jagginess, i thnk also menu search and nautilus search work without it
[05:56] <Guest28673> hey guys
[05:56] <jagginess> qdb, some of them listed may already be packaged in ubuntu
[05:56] <knobcore> RPG, It might work for a month, it might work for two weeks but when you're freezing and your disk is dumping errors it's a serious drive issue even if it's above failing threshold
[05:57] <RPG-Master> knobcore: Thanks for the help... thankfully I have my school supplied Macbook, so this desktop, while used often, isn't my only comp.
[05:57] <Elesa> ActionParsnip, can I PM you?
[05:57] <raju> i am not seeing anything here ?
[05:57] <raju> any body here ?
[05:58] <RPG-Master> But being the broke college kid that I am, it could be awhile before that drive gets replaced.
[05:58] <knobcore> RPG, how many gigs of RAM do you have?
[05:58] <Elesa> Or wilee-nilee?
[06:00] <Penartist> Does anyone know how to fix my sound problems?
[06:00] <Penartist> alsa config isn't working.
[06:00] <knobcore> penartist, what is alsa config saying
[06:00] <Penartist> I ran the alsa mixer and unmued all my sound channels
[06:00] <RPG-Master> knobcore: This comp has 8gigs.
[06:01] <Penartist> the internal speakers used to work.
[06:01] <knobcore> RPG, i'll get flamed for this but throw puppy linux on a flash drive and use a few gigs as a RAM disk ;)
[06:02] <arzhar> hello
[06:02] <arzhar> can anyone help with a rdf issue ?
[06:02] <arzhar> rdp*
[06:02] <knobcore> penartist, that shouldn't make much of a difference if you just unmuted channels
[06:02] <crimsonmane> arzhar: whats up
[06:02] <arzhar> i am trying to connect to my computer via rdp and all i get is blank screen. it works fine if i connect from a windows machine
[06:03] <jagginess> arzhar, xfreerdp is better
[06:03] <crimsonmane> arzhar: what program are you using?
[06:03] <arzhar> the server or for connecting ?
[06:03] <jagginess> arzhar, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeRDP -- but its been ages since i played with m$rdp..
[06:03] <crimsonmane> arzhar: for connecting
[06:03] <arzhar> terminal server client
[06:04] <crimsonmane> i know nothing about that. i've used Remmina (it supports every protocol)
[06:04] <arzhar> well i think it is because of compiz
[06:04] <RPG-Master> knobcore: hmmm... I'll think about that. Thanks for the help.
[06:04] <arzhar> does remmina support it or have an option to run without it ?
[06:04] <crimsonmane> without compiz?
[06:05] <RPG-Master> I'm off to go look at prices for a new hard drive...
[06:05] <arzhar> yes
[06:05] <Penartist> knobcore: what exactly should I run here?
[06:05] <crimsonmane> remmina doesn't give a rip
[06:05] <arzhar> a what ?
[06:05] <crimsonmane> a rip... a nice polite way of swearing in front of kids (who might be in the channel)
[06:05] <Penartist> The internal speakers stopped working when I switched my output mode in the control panel.
[06:05] <arzhar> haha
[06:05] <knobcore> penartist, does your system see the sound device at all?
[06:05] <Treaver> Can someone help me when installing Ubuntu one
[06:05] <knobcore> ohhhhh
[06:06] <knobcore> penartist, did you switch it to digital?
[06:06] <arzhar> hm i might give it a try then
[06:06] <knobcore> penartist, if you've switched it to digital it should be analog
[06:06] <Penartist> It's Analog Stereo Duplex right now
[06:06] <knobcore> weird
[06:06] <crimsonmane> do you know the difference between analog and digital?
[06:07] <Treaver> I keep getting error when I try to install ubuntu one
[06:07] <knobcore> crimsonmane, are you talking to me or penartist?
[06:07] <knobcore> :P
[06:07] <crimsonmane> kinda both...
[06:07] <Penartist> I'm running Fluxbox; in Unity, Gnome Control Panel displays two other outputs
[06:07] <Penartist> other than Dummy Output, that is
[06:07] <Penartist> i can't switch to them though.
[06:08] <Penartist> it stays on dummy output
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> Penartist: if you run:  alsamixer  and use F6 can you switch
[06:08] <crimsonmane> Penartist: two tabs to the left should be another input/output screen
[06:09] <Elesa> ActionParsnip, can I PM you? Please D:
[06:09] <knobcore> crimsonmane, analog is the actual wave measured in voltage... digital is a pulse wave that is useless unless you have a DAC
[06:09] <tomtomtom> have you guys experience the update manager just won't update
[06:09] <Penartist> I've only got the defualt
[06:09] <Penartist> HDA Intel
[06:09] <crimsonmane> tomtomtom: that's why i use command line to update
[06:09] <tomtomtom> it  just stay there with message like " waiting for apply..."
[06:10] <crimsonmane> Penartist: are you comfortable allowing someone a remote connection to fix the sound?
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> Elesa: sure
[06:10] <Elesa> Or anyone else who has installed Ubuntu to a external hard drive?
[06:10] <tomtomtom> crimsonmane and how to do that ?
[06:10] <Elesa> Okies! Thanks.
[06:10] <arzhar_> remmina didnt work either ;p
[06:10] <arzhar_> still black screen
[06:10] <crimsonmane> tomtomtom: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" without the quotes
[06:10] <Penartist> crimsonmane: okay.
[06:10] <crimsonmane> arzhar: then i can be of no further assistance
[06:10] <tomtomtom> i don't want a upgrade but update only
[06:10] <crimsonmane> Penartist: download TeamViewer - i recommend the no-install-needed package
[06:11] <MykleSea> does anyone know why some of my php functions dont work which interact with linux?  e.g. ("exec()")
[06:11] <crimsonmane> tomtomtom: don't be confused. "update" means update the list of items, "upgrade" means update the programs to current versions.
[06:11] <drw158> Problem: I am trying to install ubuntu on my older dell tower that used to be a server (2 HDs). it has no OS on it. I made usb stick with the installation image on it, and the installation process went fine. I restarted it with the boot priority on the HD via BIOS. it returns an error saying that it can't find anything to boot :(
[06:12] <crimsonmane> tomtomtom: note - shut down software manager, update manager, or synaptic package manager - only one app at a time can access apt-get
[06:13] <tomtomtom> ok thanks
[06:13] <Treaver> Hey
[06:13] <Treaver> Does anyone know how I can get a messenger like in Fedora. Like if I'm talking to someone it will popup a notification and I can reply in that notification
[06:14] <crimsonmane> KDE's notification area has a button to view/reply to instant messages
[06:15] <xangua> Treaver: are you refering to gnome-shell¿
[06:15] <Treaver> xangua, I just want a messenger that will let me reply easily from the notification
[06:15] <crimsonmane> pidgin is a fantastic instant messenger
[06:15] <Treaver> Like in fedora the notifcation pops up on bottom and I can click on it and reply from there
[06:16] <Penartist> crimsonmane: TeamViewer is up.
[06:16] <crimsonmane> Treaver: maybe get in the fedora irc and ask them what that is.
[06:16] <xangua> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lepXx1kDelo are you refering to this¿ Treaver
[06:17] <Treaver> YEs
[06:17] <paolooo> hi @all, can anyone help me about my partition, I'm not sure if I have a correct partition? http://imgur.com/oFCzO
[06:17] <crimsonmane> Penartist: send me a private message with your username and password that teamviewer gave you
[06:17] <xangua> !nounity | Treaver that is gnome-shell
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> Treaver: just install gnome-panel and log off then select the new session, if you like the 2 panel desktop use Xubuntu
[06:18] <Treaver> Will I still have the left dash bar?
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> Treaver: no, that is a Unity feature
[06:19] <Treaver> I mean I love Ubuntu as it is now, I just want that one chat feature.
[06:21] <paolooo> hi @all, can please any tell me if I have a correct partition? --> http://imgur.com/oFCzO
[06:22] <Treaver> So I installed Gnome-shell
[06:22] <Treaver> Will I be able to instantly be able to chat by clickign the notification?
[06:24] <timfrost> paolooo: That partition table looks valid.  It is unusual to not use sda1, but if the system boots then you are OK.
[06:25] <paolooo> timfrost: Thank you very much. Do I need to change sda2 to sda1?
[06:27] <kanha> i want to  Make /var/www/socnet as the apache root directory what changes do i need to do in /etc/apcahe2/httpd.conf?
[06:27] <paolooo> timfrost: I was planning to have a partition like windows drive C:, D:, and E:. Drives in ubuntu are designated as /sda(:int) right?
[06:28] <chroot_> hi, is there any goood text books about computer hardware?
[06:29] <bkc_> chroot_: lots
[06:29] <timfrost> paolooo: you don't need to change sda2 to sda1.  Drive designations are complex to explain.  There are 4 partitions described in the disk MBR.  To get more than 4, you need one of the first 4 to be marked' Extended', and logical partitions defined inside the extended partitrion
[06:30] <chroot_> bkc_: for example
[06:30] <chroot_> bkc_: i need english edition
[06:31] <paolooo> timfrost: I see. Thanks tim. hmmm.
[06:31] <bkc_> chroot_: none that I can recommend at the top of my head... but there are *lots* of good HW-books :)
[06:32] <chroot_> ok, i understand, i am a student, i just want to learn it
[06:33] <iDonev> Anyone willing to help a complete newbie?
[06:33] <Moonlightning> !ask | iDonev
[06:34] <BrenRS_> I entered "sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb" and it returned "dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process"
[06:34] <BrenRS_> help?
[06:35] <KM0201> BrenRS_: are you running update manager, or do you have synaptic open>
[06:35] <Moonlightning> BrenRS_: sounds like something else is already using `dpkg` or `apt-<something>`. Arey ou trying to install|remove|update something else?
[06:35] <KM0201> something else is using root.
[06:35] <BrenRS_> yes
[06:35] <BrenRS_> I am running update manager :\
[06:35] <paolooo> hi @all, Is there a tutorial video on how to install ubuntu correctly? I'm currently using ubuntu but I'm not sure my partitions are correctly installed.
[06:35] <BrenRS_> I'll wait until skype installs
[06:35] <BrenRS_> :P
[06:35] <Moonlightning> Wait for that to finish, then try again.
[06:35] <FloodBot1> BrenRS_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:35] <BrenRS_> why is it taking so long?
[06:36] <KM0201> BrenRS_: how are you installing it?
[06:36] <iDonev> I'm using VMware Fusion to run Ubuntu and I can't figure out how to install VMware Tools. Can anyone help me?
[06:36] <BrenRS_> how do I create a google chrome shortcut on my Launcher?
[06:37] <KM0201> BrenRS_: open up google chrome, right click it, and choose "lock it" (or something like that)
[06:37] <BrenRS_> oh wait, it returned "Errors were encountered while processing: google-chrome-stable"
[06:37] <KM0201> BrenRS_: did you try installing the google chrome .deb file?
[06:38] <BrenRS_> no, I saved the deb file to my desktop and used the command line "sudo dpkg -i googlechromefilenamehere.deb"
[06:38] <BrenRS_> obviously with the correct file name :P
[06:38] <Moonlightning> iDonev: what OS is the host (the main computer) running?
[06:39] <KM0201> BrenRS_: why are you doing that, use the repositories, thats what they are for.
[06:39] <KM0201> for what its worth, skype just installed in about 2min.. :)
[06:39] <iDonev> OS X
[06:40] <iDonev> OS X 10.8
[06:40] <BrenRS_> okay I believe the bad audio quality is because of me not having the correct audio driver?
[06:40] <BrenRS_> let me test something
[06:41] <Moonlightning> iDonev: have you tried going through http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalId=1022525 ?
[06:42] <KM0201> damn, i just relaized skype 4.0 is finally out for Linux
[06:42] <plague> Hi, anyone please could help me with smb.conf? I just want to share certain folder over LAN, but to enter it id liket hat user need to enter login/passwd?
[06:42] <KM0201> plague: thats pretty easy.
[06:43] <KM0201> plague: first, you'll need to create that user on the host.
[06:43] <plague> plague well i have headless 12.04 so cant use GUI
[06:43] <KM0201> plague: it's just as easy w/o a GUI
[06:43] <plague> KM0201 ok crating user is pretty easy
[06:43] <KM0201> plague: ok, so first create a user
[06:44] <plague> KM0201 next?
[06:45] <KM0201> plague: sudo smbpasswd -L -a username    (you'll be asked to enter and confirm a password for the user)
[06:45] <plague> I forget to tell other PC is windows box I hope that does not make it harder.
[06:45] <KM0201> plague: it doesn't
[06:46] <BrenRS_> Okay how do I install flash player after I extracted it?
[06:46] <KM0201> BrenRS_: you need to learn to use the repositories.. you're making stuff way to hard on yourself
[06:46] <BrenRS_> how do I install flash then?
[06:46] <KM0201> !flash
[06:47] <xangua> BrenRS_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[06:47] <KM0201> xangua: well, thats assuming he has 64bit... i think 32bit, its still in ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:47] <plague> KM0201 done
[06:48] <KM0201> plague: sudo smbpasswd -L -e username    this will add the user to the samba group
[06:49] <AL13N> http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/18/oracle-makes-more-moves-to-kill-open-source-mysql/
[06:49] <plague> KM0201 ok it says user enabled
[06:50] <KM0201> plague: now.... sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf  (that should open up your samba configuration file)
[06:50] <Moonlightning> I have a problem with the graphics…I'm not really sure how to describe it, but it looks more or less like /this/ wallpaper ( http://cl.ly/IqDo ), except that the entire screen is like that.
[06:50] <plague> KM0201 opened
[06:51] <BrenRS_> wow. -.-
[06:51] <BrenRS_> ndiswrapper was working fine on my desktop until I restarted it
[06:51] <BrenRS_> now when I type "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper", it returns "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found."
[06:51] <KM0201> plague: scroll to the very bottom, and add this (be sure to change the username, and set the description name.. to keep it simple, don't use spaces in the description name)...   http://pastebin.com/txTMNB9H
[06:51] <hipitihop> I have 10.04 which does not see my SSD and 12.04 which does. for various reasons I need to install 10.04 listings from lspci here if anyone can help 10.04 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1154669/ & 12.04 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1154670/
[06:51] <AL13N> all distro's should have mariadb as default mysql provider
[06:53] <Myrtti> AL13N: thanks for the input, but this is a support channel
[06:55] <BrenRS_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1154865/
[06:55] <KM0201> plague: by the way, what are you using Ubuntu server for?
[06:55] <plague> KM0201 well have several purposes
[06:55] <KM0201> like?
[06:56] <plague> KM0201 more like file server i'd also very mutch would like to set up rsync backup for some folders just not yet have enough brain to do it
[06:56] <KM0201> plague: can i PM you?
[06:56] <plague> ofc
[06:57] <BrenRS_> This is really irritating me..
[06:58] <BrenRS_> my desktop was connecting to the network fine (using a wireless adapter with ndiswrapper) and now it's not working after the update -.-
[06:59] <BrenRS_> I really don't have time for this... can someone please help me?
[06:59] <sambagirl> brenrs time for what?
[07:01] <BrenRS_> Hello???
[07:01] <BrenRS_> Can someone please help me?
[07:02] <KM0201> BrenRS_: what are you trying to do?
[07:04] <Moonlightning> !botsnack
[07:04] <Moonlightning> heehee X3
[07:06] <knobcore> gahhh
[07:06] <knobcore> this digidesign piece of crap
[07:06] <KM0201> digidesign?
[07:07] <knobcore> yeah
[07:07] <knobcore> now avid
[07:08] <sambagirl> does ubuntu have a module or is there a module that works with fingerprint swipers? bio stuff?
[07:09] <botcity> do i have to convert my sony .mts file into another format, for me to edit it properly ?
[07:09] <knobcore> i run windows on my music computer because this digidesign piece of garbage requires windows or osx
[07:09] <sambagirl> cant you us vm?
[07:10] <sambagirl> use
[07:10] <BrenRS_> Why is it that when I enter "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" it returns "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found."?
[07:10] <knobcore> and half the time the clock gets all messed up in win7
[07:10] <timfrost> BrenRS_: have you installed  ndiswrapper-dkms ("sudo apt-get install  ndiswrapper-dkms")?
[07:10] <knobcore> sambagirl, if you're talking to me then no it's proprietary hardware that talks directly to proprietary drivers
[07:10] <sambagirl> oh knobcore
[07:11] <sambagirl> i didn't know
[07:11] <andrewh192> hey, I have a HP Pavilion laptop and just found out that the QuickPlay feature has a linux version as well..
[07:11] <timfrost> BrenRS_: you need to enable universe to find that package on precise
[07:11] <knobcore> i have a dedicated computer for it
[07:11] <knobcore> but i'm getting rid of it
[07:11] <BrenRS_> how?
[07:11] <knobcore> switching to RME
[07:11] <andrewh192> was wondering how I would go about installing that on my latop, so that I could use the buttons on my laptop
[07:11] <BrenRS_> How do I enable universe?
[07:12] <timfrost> BrenRS_: in software sources, it is a tick box
[07:12] <BrenRS_> I'm sooooooooooooo lost.
[07:12] <BrenRS_> I'm completely new to Linux..
[07:12] <KM0201> BrenRS_: is the machine conneected to the internet?
[07:12] <BrenRS_> no..
[07:13] <KM0201> BrenRS_: it needs to be on the internet.
[07:13] <BrenRS_> I'm using ndiswrapper for my wireless adapter (which previously was working before I did the system update)
[07:13] <KM0201> can you temporarily wire it?
[07:13] <sambagirl> haha
[07:14] <BrenRS_> I don't know if it's me or what... but this OS seems far more buggy than Windows as much as I want to use it
[07:15] <KM0201> BrenRS_: it's definitely you.
[07:15] <knobcore> sambagirl, it's basically a box that has microphone inputs and line in that converts analog to digital
[07:15] <Fishscene> BrenRS_: How is it buggy?
[07:15] <knobcore> kind of like a giant fancy sound card
[07:15] <BrenRS_> KM0201: You're the one telling me I need the internet connected to it to install something
[07:15] <BrenRS_> I was expecting something like "Oh, you can use the computure you're on right now since you're on the IRC to downoad a package then put it on a flash drive"
[07:15] <KM0201> BrenRS_: lol, software for Linux (any linux distro) is in online repositories, of course you have to be online.
[07:15] <sambagirl> brenrs_ you must be joking
[07:16] <BrenRS_> Well, I downloaded packages via my laptop and put it on my desktop just fine so to clarify your statement, "NO you do NOT have to be online to install packages"
[07:16] <BrenRS_> why?  If there are dependencies, it will try to resolve them (by looking online or failing). However, package managers don't like manual installations
[07:17] <sambagirl> your not explaining it
[07:18] <Moonlightning> The system beep (sound that gets played when e.g. you hit backspace when there's nothing on the line to delete) is exceedingly loud; how can I turn it down or disable it?
[07:18] <KM0201> BrenRS_: i understand exactlywhat you rproblem is.. YOU don't understand what your problem is
[07:18] <Moonlightning> This is all in a tty, by the way.
[07:18] <Fishscene> Moonlightning: Is the beep originating from your computer or from speakers?
[07:18] <BrenRS_> sambagirl, I am using ndiswrapper for the device 0846:9020 and my desktop was working fine. When I did updates on my desktop and rebooted, then it stopped working.
[07:19] <sambagirl> moonlightining you have any idea the steps you have to go thru to turn that off in windows? :D
[07:19] <sambagirl> ahh
[07:19] <Moonlightning> Fishscene: not sure; this is on a PowerBook G4.
[07:19] <Moonlightning> sambagirl: nope! I don't use Windows. ;3
[07:19] <knobcore> lol @ powerbook g4
[07:19] <sambagirl> i had a similar issue when i did an update on a debian update
[07:19] <BrenRS_> so samba, you're saying I should NOT update?
[07:19] <sambagirl> is that a broadcomm b43 card something like that?
[07:20] <Moonlightning> Hay, it works! XD
[07:20] <BrenRS_> yes
[07:20] <sambagirl> aha
[07:20] <BrenRS_> yes it is, sambagirl
[07:20] <KM0201> !broadcom
[07:20] <sambagirl> there is your answer on that link
[07:20] <knobcore> moonlightning, those things don't die
[07:20] <Moonlightning> knobcore: huh?
[07:20] <sambagirl> follow those instructions and it will be up in a snap
[07:20] <knobcore> powerbook g4s
[07:21] <Moonlightning> …they don't /die?/
[07:21] <knobcore> i had a friend who had one he beat the shit out of it and it's still working
[07:21] <BrenRS_> it's USB, not pci.
[07:21] <BrenRS_> so therefore it wont.
[07:21] <sambagirl> umm
[07:21] <sambagirl> let me think
[07:21]  * KM0201 chuckles because i asked him 10min ago what his wireless chipset was
[07:22] <BrenRS_> 0846:9020
[07:22] <BrenRS_> it's a netgear wna3100 usb wireless adapter
[07:22] <sambagirl> which version of ubuntu do you have btw?
[07:22] <BrenRS_> 12.04 amd64
[07:22] <BrenRS_> with the updates I just installed like 20 mins ago
[07:22] <sambagirl> ahh ok
[07:23] <BrenRS_> that's the current state of the oS
[07:23] <BrenRS_> OS*
[07:24] <KM0201> BrenRS_: just curious, how did you install the driver for that device before?
[07:24] <BrenRS_> KM0201: Yes.
[07:24] <KM0201> that wasn't a yes or no question
[07:24] <BrenRS_> Oh
[07:25] <BrenRS_> right
[07:25] <BrenRS_> uhh
[07:25] <BrenRS_> I read this tutorial: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=97610
[07:25] <KM0201> why are you reading mint tutorials for ubuntu?
[07:25] <BrenRS_> Someone linked it to me. The point is this... it was working before the update.
[07:26] <KM0201> BrenRS_: thats your problem right there.. you installed the drivers offline, most likely those updates you did pulled in a kernel upgrade, and so you'd need to reinstall the driver on the new kernel, if you'd installed hte driver w/ restricted driver manager (which you need to be online to do) ubuntu will keep track of it and keep the driver installed during upgrades
[07:26] <BrenRS_> How will I run the updates first without the driver?
[07:26] <BrenRS_> Should I just not update?
[07:27] <Fishscene> Like I said. Package managers do NOT like manual installs. :P
[07:27] <KM0201> BrenRS_: YOU NEED TO BE ONLINE
[07:27] <sambagirl> opps wrong channel :D
[07:27] <sambagirl> i was in debian
[07:27] <KM0201> BrenRS_: plug your machine to the router for a few minutes, and fix the issue, then it won't be an issue anymore
[07:27] <BrenRS_> KM0201, the only way I can be online is if I install the driver.
[07:27] <sambagirl> brenrs_ do this http://askubuntu.com/questions/152733/how-can-i-remove-all-updates-installed-after-a-specific-date
[07:27] <BrenRS_> ah
[07:27] <sambagirl> i would back the update out
[07:28] <sambagirl> and wait for a few days and see if there is a resolution to the problem.
[07:28] <Moonlightning> How do I get `yaboot` to default to `Linux nomodeset` so I don't have to type it every time?
[07:28] <plague> Excuse me cold anyone please help me, how can I map windows share from shell and mount it under certain folder?
[07:28] <sambagirl> unless your running the World Bank on that computer the security updates etc...arent that critical :D
[07:28] <bkc_> plague: smbclient
[07:29] <sambagirl> its not like your going to get a virus
[07:29] <auronandace> sambagirl: thats just putting off the problem
[07:29] <bkc_> sambagirl: nope... but rootkits
[07:29] <Fishscene> plague: Just a one-time mount or a permanent mount?
[07:29] <sambagirl> ok
[07:29] <BrenRS_> So here's what I'm going to do... install the driver like I did before
[07:29] <BrenRS_> then never update :D
[07:29] <sambagirl> but i mean it gives you atleast a point to look at where the issue began
[07:30] <BrenRS_> that's my solution
[07:30] <plague> Fishscene permanent mount,  i wanted to use it afterwards for rsync backup.
[07:30] <sambagirl> ok
[07:30] <Fishscene> plague: This might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[07:30] <dichtbijzee> Can anybody point me to a PPA for chromium. the ones on launchpad are all still on 18.0*** I'm looking for 22 daily/unstable build.
[07:30] <KM0201> BrenRS_: thats absolutely retarded, but.. if thats your solution, ok
[07:30] <auronandace> sambagirl: we know when the issue began, when he had a kernel update
[07:30] <BrenRS_> how's it retarded?
[07:30] <BrenRS_> it makes sense
[07:30] <sambagirl> i would back it out brenrs_
[07:30] <plague> Fishscene thank you
[07:30] <KM0201> BrenRS_: installing an OS and never updating it (including security updates) makes sense?  My friend, Linux is not you rproblem
[07:30] <sambagirl> and see if it recovers and functions properly as before
[07:30] <plague> bkc_ thanks
[07:31] <bkc_> BrenRS_: or... install old driver, install driver as one should (online), update :)
[07:31] <Fishscene> plague: NP. I set this up myself and it works very, VERY well. :)
[07:31] <KM0201> bkc_: THANK YOU... exactly what i was trying to get him to think about.
[07:31] <sambagirl> update update sounds like a windows channel. look out everyone windows update is coming down the pipe duck :D
[07:31] <bkc_> KM0201: to some idiots, you actually have to spell it out in words ^^
[07:31] <KM0201> lol
[07:32] <bkc_> sambagirl: try archlinux for a month ;)
[07:32] <bkc_> windows has *nothing* on arch :P
[07:32] <KM0201> i'm all for helping newbs, but newbs who are also loudmouths are annoying
[07:32] <Fishscene> Common guys, some people have a unique situation or honestly just don't know good practices.
[07:32] <bkc_> KM0201: +1 on that one
[07:32] <sambagirl> he said he was just learning the system didnt he? so he is entitled to explore ideas and do things till he learns the better way
[07:33] <sambagirl> bkc_ i have it but i only wanted it because it has zoneminder in it
[07:33] <Fishscene> plague: This can also help (not sure which one to use at this point, last time I used these was like, 2 years ago) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[07:33] <auronandace> sambagirl: doesn't mean you should encourage him to put off solving the actual problem properly
[07:33] <bkc_> KM0201: well.. I was the one who told him to download and installa the drivers offline in the first place... but I figured he'd install them properly afterwards :/
[07:34] <KM0201> bkc_: yeah.. you would think
[07:34] <bkc_> ... windows-users  :dunnu:
[07:34] <bkc_>  ┐(￣ー￣)┌
[07:34] <bkc_> damn irssi-autocorrect not working correctly -.-
[07:34] <sambagirl> auronandace but it sounds like he is in a panic and has something specific he has to accomplish. what are you supposed to do in a panic? whatever you can to be-unpanic'd and then look at what it is that is occuring and then you know and/or wait for a resolution to be prescribed.
[07:35] <auronandace> sambagirl: he was already told how to solve the problem several times and you just want him to put it off?
[07:35] <KM0201> sambagirl: i don;t think its panic, i think its impatience (you'll notice his solution was to install the driver the way that it worked, and NEVER update)
[07:35] <BrenRS_> Okay I'm checking off the box that says install third-party software
[07:35] <BrenRS_> maybe I'll have luck with that
[07:35] <KM0201> BrenRS_: is the machine connected to the internet?
[07:35] <BrenRS_> no.
[07:36]  * KM0201 has a MASSIVE headache
[07:36] <sambagirl> well linux updating is practical however windows updating is suicide
[07:36] <plague> Fishscene thanks!
[07:36] <Fishscene> NP Mate
[07:36] <KM0201> BrenRS_: how do you expect to install 3rd party software, w/o an internet connection?
[07:36] <BrenRS_> true.
[07:36] <KM0201> do you think it just magically gets to your computer?
[07:36] <lotuspsychje> lol
[07:37] <sambagirl> look on this laptop i am on right now it has 10.10 and i am never getting any updates but i use it and it works.
[07:37] <sambagirl> i didnt see the solve unless you mean the link that the bot produced?
[07:37] <auronandace> sambagirl: that means you'll never get any support too
[07:37] <KM0201> sambagirl: but you'd have to agree that isn't necessarily the right thing to do.
[07:37] <KM0201> security updates and all.
[07:37] <jhojho> if you use openssl on a 64bit machine, pls consider upvoting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1018522
[07:38] <BrenRS_> sambagirl is right..
[07:38] <BrenRS_> tbh..
[07:38] <BrenRS_> I don't do a lot of downloading
[07:38] <BrenRS_> so...
[07:38] <KM0201> BrenRS_: no she's not.
[07:38] <FloodBot1> BrenRS_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:38] <BrenRS_> updates won't be crucial.
[07:38] <KM0201> not updating an OS that is connected to the internet, is stupid... no other word for it
[07:38] <BrenRS_> KM0201: I don't do much downloading, therefore it will be pointless.
[07:39] <KM0201> lol.. what the heck does downloading have to do with it?
[07:39] <auronandace> BrenRS_: no, you'll suffer problems guaranteed
[07:39] <KM0201> are you going to surf the internet?
[07:39] <bkc_> BrenRS_: has nothing to do with downloads xD
[07:39] <Fishscene> A savvy user doesn't necessarily need to update their OS.
[07:39] <BrenRS_> How???
[07:39] <sambagirl> well i figure the kind of world this really is, it's interesting how things are always being fixed that arent broken in the first place. but i am told they are broken so i need to fix it but i can prove it one way or another but i just go on ignorance i guess.
[07:39] <Fishscene> Although usually it is not wise to not update.
[07:39] <bkc_> Fishscene: s/savvy/stupid/
[07:39] <sambagirl> i can't
[07:39] <iceroot> Fishscene: please donst suggest something like that in the main ubuntu support channel. of course everyone should update the system with security updates
[07:39] <BrenRS_> alright well when I get infected or get something, I'll be sure to let you know
[07:40] <BrenRS_> which will most likely not happen
[07:40] <iceroot> BrenRS_: same for you, please dont suggest something like that here
[07:40] <KM0201> BrenRS_: well, of course it won't, because you can't get online
[07:40] <bkc_> BrenRS_: rootkits... you wont know what hit you...
[07:40] <BrenRS_> How will I get a rootkit out of nowhere?
[07:40] <auronandace> BrenRS_: its not about getting infected, its about bugs and security vulnerabilities
[07:40] <bkc_> BrenRS_: sec-vul...
[07:41] <Fishscene> iceroot: No deal. I prefer to keep things real and not treat people like cattle. It *IS* possible to have a machine connected to the internet and be just as secure as a fully-up-to-date OS.
[07:41] <sambagirl> well we go on blind faith that the "fixes" are fixes and for all i know they could actually be vulnerabilities but we have trust in our masters.
[07:41] <BrenRS_> So you're saying that ubuntu us open to java drive-bys?
[07:41] <BrenRS_> or auto downloaders?
[07:41] <iceroot> Fishscene: as i said, we dont something like that here.
[07:41] <iceroot> Fishscene: if you do something like that, fine but please dont suggest that here
[07:41] <Fishscene> I wasn't suggesting that anyone DO that at all.
[07:41] <plague> Fishscene works perfectly love you!
[07:42] <Fishscene> plague: Excellent :)
[07:42] <bkc_> BrenRS_: infecting linux over internet is easy-peasy :3
[07:42] <sambagirl> brenrs nothing is secure but linux is atleast functional and fun. tell me how much fun windows isnt :)
[07:43] <auronandace> BrenRS_: seriously, if you are not going to update and come back here for help the first thing we will suggest is updating
[07:44] <sambagirl> true
[07:44] <auronandace> BrenRS_: the updates are there to fix problems
[07:44] <irong33k> the new pinguy 12.04 vlc crashes alot of time
[07:44] <sambagirl> and incidently they create problems as wlll but that is the nature of the beast
[07:45] <auronandace> irong33k: pinguy isn't supported here
[07:45] <irong33k> but its under Linux Mint, which is under Ubuntu
[07:45] <iceroot> !mint | irong33k
[07:45] <irong33k> need i say more,....
[07:47] <sambagirl> i will confess this though, i worked for ibm and i know that you never get any support from microsoft but you sure do get support for ubuntu. that's a fact. no fiction.
[07:47] <Fishscene> What kind of support are you referring to?
[07:48] <Moonlightning> Internal error? Oh, there's an option to submit a report. I'll do that…
[07:48] <Moonlightning> Precise is no longer under development. Huh? Oh, there's a convenient “I don't know what to do” option.
[07:48] <dichtbijzee> Can anybody point me to a PPA for chromium. the ones on launchpad are all still on 18.0*** I'm looking for 22 daily/unstable build.
[07:48]  * Moonlightning clicks…
[07:49] <Moonlightning> Link to a website…
[07:49] <Moonlightning> Hmm.
[07:49] <Moonlightning> Why doesn't it just submit a bug report like OS X does? 6_9
[07:50] <sambagirl> when i had to call up microsoft with lets say a customer on a conference call and they could not get a humanbeing or they get some person that is reading some idiotic script, when they saw the ibm # they would conviently drop us and keep the poor customer online with them and work for their money and never ever ever ever give any support because they neve know what they are talking about but if you have a big account you can buy a few hundred
[07:50] <sambagirl> thousands worht of support :).
[07:50] <Moonlightning> I don't really want to go to a website and follow through a bunch of stuff…
[07:50] <sambagirl> it's a long story
[07:50] <sambagirl> nevermind
[07:50] <FloodBot1> sambagirl: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:51] <wilee-nilee> dichtbijzee, I think this is the pkg it seems to be in the stable?
[07:51] <sambagirl> apple is just as frustrating
[07:51] <wilee-nilee> chromium
[07:52] <wilee-nilee> dichtbijzee, http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/google_chrome/stable/main/base/google-chrome-unstable
[07:52] <Moonlightning> Anyway, I have a few problems here still.
[07:52] <Fishscene> wow. Sounds like Microsoft treats the smaller businessess with better respect. I had no problems even elevating to Tier 3 support with Microsoft. But I'm off topic now. :S However, Microsoft was trying to shield the Tier3 support because they ddin't want me talking with their developers... not true with Ubuntu. You can talk directly with whoever is helping you... and they could probably link you to the sourcecode too. Not so with Microsoft deve
[07:52] <Moonlightning> 1. display is borked. Not sure how to describe it, but the /entire/ thing looks like the wallpaper in http://cl.ly/IqDo .
[07:53] <auronandace> !ot | sambagirl Fishscene
[07:53] <Moonlightning> 2. I'm always typing `Linux nomodeset` at the yaboot prompt, and I'd like to know how to automate that.
[07:53] <sambagirl> i don't ever expect to see a linux commercial ever on tv. never. i can imagine microsoft and apple exploding if one ever came on. it would be like "that wasn't a ufo" that was swamp gas.
[07:54] <Moonlightning> 3. The system beep in tty's is /really/ loud, and I'd like to turn its volume down.
[07:54] <Fishscene> -_- No room for a one line comment, eh? Anycow. Moonlightning: It looks like you're running a very low-end driver
[07:54] <wilee-nilee> Moonlightning, yaboot is a OS am I right?
[07:54] <sambagirl> fishscene your correct in your assessment
[07:54] <Moonlightning> Fishscene: okay, how do I upgrade? XD
[07:55] <xangua> !nomodeset
[07:55] <xangua> Moonlightning:  instead of typing it everytime you boot wy don't set it at grub¿
[07:55] <Moonlightning> wilee-nilee: no, the OS is Ubuntu.
[07:55] <Moonlightning> xangua: I have yaboot, not grub
[07:55] <dichtbijzee> wilee-nilee, Domo arigato
[07:55] <ssta_> wilee-nilee: no, it's the equivalent of grub for powerpc
[07:56] <djshotglass> how would i format a fat usb stick to ext2 or something linux
[07:56] <wilee-nilee> Moonlightning, ah oh well nomodeset is easy in grub, lol.
[07:56] <Moonlightning> xangua: that thread isn't helpful; I don't have grub
[07:56] <sambagirl> my goal is to bring ubuntu up to this level of functionality http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/
[07:57] <Fishscene> djshotglass: Copy everything off of it first, plug it in, then press the Windows/super key and type "disk". You should see a disk utility pop up.
[07:57] <djshotglass> fdisk /dev/sdb?
[07:57] <cihhan> Hi all! Does anybody have experience with collectl?
[07:59] <wilee-nilee> dichtbijzee, cool that worked.
[07:59] <sambagirl> !seen seveas
[08:00] <djshotglass> what partition should i use Fishscene?
[08:00] <Fishscene> I dunno. If it's just for files, you might as well use one partition and whatever filesystem you want.
[08:01] <djshotglass> what type of partition i was asking
[08:01] <djshotglass> Linux is standard for the primary?
[08:02] <KM0201> djshotglass: what do you mean?
[08:02] <Fishscene> djshotglass: It might be the late hour, but I'm completely lost.
[08:02] <dichtbijzee> wilee-nilee, Well actually now i'm switching to Google chrome because chromium isn't being build anymore
[08:02] <plague> Fishscene please permisson to PM you?
[08:03] <djshotglass> when making the new primary partition
[08:03] <Fishscene> plague: Sure thing
[08:03] <djshotglass> there is a drop box of partition types
[08:03] <wilee-nilee> dichtbijzee, Ah, oh well.
[08:03] <KM0201> djshotglass: are you manually partitioning?
[08:03] <djshotglass> i just want to format the damn thing from fat to ext2
[08:03] <djshotglass> lol
[08:03] <djshotglass> im in the disk util ui
[08:04] <KM0201> djshotglass: is this a usb drive or something?
[08:04] <djshotglass> yes
[08:05] <KM0201> djshotglass: did you try installing gparted, and use gparted to format it?
[08:06]  * KM0201 gets the feeling he is missing something
[08:06] <djshotglass> no i just did fdisk and mke2fs from command line
[08:06] <djshotglass> they were close enough to freebsd i managed to pull it off
[08:06] <djshotglass> thanks
[08:06] <KM0201> lol
[08:06] <KM0201> ok
[08:07] <sambagirl> one last question...10.10 server isnt supported either is it?
[08:07] <KM0201> no
[08:08] <sambagirl> to bad because everything i see is built on that platform
[08:08] <djshotglass> everything you see :o
[08:08] <KM0201> what are you seeing?
[08:08] <djshotglass> you need to look in better places
[08:08] <KM0201> 10.04 is still supported i think
[08:08] <sambagirl> i meant 10.04 :D
[08:08] <sambagirl> opps i am tired.
[08:09] <sambagirl> that was an honest mistake
[08:09] <sambagirl> it had a 10. in it
[08:09] <KM0201> i think 10.04 is still supported for a little longer
[08:09] <sambagirl> night
[08:09] <Fishscene> o/
[08:09] <ssta_> 10.04 server is supported until 2015
[08:09] <stephans> hi everybody! I have a strange effect on ubuntu (on a 2009 mac mini with Nvidia): http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=J1OqqQ8hBXk&vq=medium      this video has a blueshift when played in firefox.
[08:09] <stephans> wierd!
[08:10] <stephans> now it plays with no blueshift in chrome, but then it sputters and stutters
[08:10] <stephans> does anyone have an explanation for this?
[08:11] <Fishscene> stephans: You have adobe flash and gstreamer plugins installed and up to date?
[08:12] <stephans> Fishscene: yes. the restricted extras are installed and all updates applied
[08:12] <Moonlightning> How do I get the system to automatically connect to wireless networks I've selected as soon as possible, even if I'm not logged in?
[08:12] <Chiko> How can i open a file in the gui with administrative rights?
[08:13] <bkc_> Moonlightning: "system connection: yes", "autoconnect: yes"
[08:13] <Fishscene> stephans: It almost sounds like hardware accelleration for video playback isn't enabled or is too underpowered to handle the video. Are other videos played back successfully? Even HD videos?
[08:13] <Moonlightning> bkc_: do that where?
[08:14] <stephans> regular mkv files or avi files on the hard drive play fine... even plays ok in minitube
[08:14] <stephans> Fishscene: regular mkv files or avi files on the hard drive play fine... even plays ok in minitube
[08:14] <bkc_> Moonlightning: in NetworkManager
[08:15] <stephans> by the way everything played great on when booted in to OSX
[08:15] <Moonlightning> bkc_: how do I get to that? XD
[08:15] <stephans> Fishscene: how do I enable hardware acceleration for the nvidia drivers?
[08:16] <Calinou> > settings > proprietary drivers
[08:16] <Calinou> nouveau/free drivers have basic 3D accel for some nvidia GPUs but it's quite slow.
[08:16] <stephans> Fishscene: you may be right on the no acceleration for video... because the cpu does run high when flash video is played...
[08:18] <Marzata> !ntp Marzata
[08:19] <Fishscene> stephans: I was trying to see if I could play the video with youtube's HTML5 video player, but I'm not having success.  Do you have proprietary drivers enabled/installed?
[08:19] <stephans> Fishscene: tried with vlc and it plays fine... yes the nvidia drivers are installed.
[08:20] <Fishscene> Sounds like a flash/browser issue then. I'm at a loss as to where to go from here. =\
[08:20] <stephans> Fishscene: I tried to enable prefer html5 but could not figure out how...
[08:20] <jhojho> does someone know how to assign a distribution in a launchpad bug report?
[08:21] <primeras> Happy Ramadan Eid to Muslims friends.
[08:21] <jhojho> for example, this bug report shows as affecting precise https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/986147
[08:21] <stephans> Fishscene: ok I will google some more..
[08:21] <jhojho> i would like to do the same for another bug
[08:23] <bakteria> Hi, Im having trouble with arecord, when I use "arecord -f dat -v -V test.wav" I get this output: http://pastebin.com/hL837k1S
[08:24] <Ebolla> When trying to install vmware player on Ubuntu 12.04 I get a failure starting Virtual Network Device.  Anyone have any ideas?
[08:24] <bakteria> It does not give me an error, just ????
[08:24] <plague> Looking for sombady who has expierience with fstab file permissions. Please!
[08:27] <jhojho> anyone?
[08:29] <stephans> Fishscene:  I enabled "Override automatic cache management" on firefox. it worked
[08:29] <stephans> Fishscene:  that was it

[08:35] <mobius420> greetings #ubuntu :)
[08:35] <cfhowlett> mobius420: greetings
[08:35] <mobius420> can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the passphrase used to unlock an LVM encrypted hdd?
[08:35] <mobius420> after the installation of the OS I mean
[08:35] <Moonlightning> How do I get the system to connect automatically to certain Wi-Fi networks even if nobody's logged in?
[08:36] <mobius420> Moonlightning,  "even if nobody's logged in"   do you mean  even if no one is connected to the wifi  network at the moment you are logging in?
[08:36] <Moonlightning> If nobody's logged into my computer *
[08:36] <rexor> He mean that no one using computer in that moment
[08:37] <Moonlightning> ^
[08:37] <mobius420> ahh kk
[08:37] <Moonlightning> i.e. right after boot, without me having to do anything
[08:37] <mobius420> I would assume to just diable any power setting which would place the machine in suspend or sleep  and then make certain the "connect automatically" option is selected
[08:37] <mobius420> diable=disable
[08:38] <Moonlightning> connect-automatically is enabled; I just rebooted, but it doesn't seem to be connected
[08:38] <mobius420> or perhaps I am not fully grasping what you wish to accomplish... because that seems deceptively simple
[08:38] <mobius420> ahh okay
[08:38] <mobius420> well....
[08:38] <Moonlightning> I just want it to connect automatically without having to log in using the GUI.
[08:39] <captine> hi all.  I have a router with a USB drive connected, and when transferring files from Ubuntu to it, it goes at 1.5mb/s.  This doesn't sound right to me.  Even when transferring from my Mac to Ubuntu it is a similar speed.
[08:39] <Moonlightning> autoreconnect after sleep and hibernation would be nice, too, but we'll get to that later… XD
[08:39] <captine> have Broadcom wireless chip ubuntu 12.04
[08:39] <cfhowlett> captine: OK and?
[08:40] <pranjal710> I want to tunnel to a computer but I dont have bash access. cat /etc/passwd says /bin/null , how do I tunnel??
[08:40] <pranjal710> I have an account on the server
[08:40] <captine> cfhowlett, sorry, typing slow.  I am on an Acer 4755 with wireless N.  My router has dualband Wireless N capability.  I just dont know how to get the wireless N type speeds i am expecting
[08:40] <mobius420> rdp?
[08:40] <mobius420> or are you needing crypto?
[08:40] <Moonlightning> pranjal710: you can't change your shell on the server?
[08:40] <mobius420> SSL?
[08:40] <cfhowlett> captine: ah.  sorry, I can't speak to that.  stay in channel and ask.  And ...
[08:41]  * mobius420 fetches a glowing keyboard ;]
[08:41] <cfhowlett> !patience|captine:
[08:41] <pranjal710> Moonlightning, No, In windows I used tunnelier
[08:41] <captine> cfhowlett, thanks a mil. :)  i am searching all over at the moment.
[08:43] <nimbos> captine, could the server that your router runs be throttling your speeds?  I had similarly slow speeds when using a USB HD plugged into a router.
[08:43] <Moonlightning> pranjal710: no, you can't change your shell on the server?
[08:44] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> Hello everyone -- I'm trying to install xampp on ubuntu but I keep getting 403 forbidden errors whenever I try accessing localhost/phpmyadmin
[08:44] <pranjal710> Moonlightning, I dont have any rights on the server. Isnt there any variant of tunnelier for ubuntu??
[08:44] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> I just ran the lampp security command to no avail.
[08:44] <Moonlightning> pranjal710: if you have /no/ privileges on the server, how are you logging in? ;)
[08:45] <pranjal710> Moonlightning, I do have an account, but it is set to /bin/null. I dont have bash or shell access
[08:45] <captine> nimbos, my wireless router is a Netgear WNDR3700V2.  Not connecting to a server.  It has QOS setup for Skype only.
[08:46] <captine> nimbos, the router is running dd-wrt with squid and dansguardian installed, however, the speeds were bad before squid, so it is not due to any memory or processor usage on the router
[08:48] <ssta_> pranjal710: ssh -N -L 1234:localhost:1234 username@server
[08:49] <captine> nimbos, i am looking at more router settings now.  perhaps my channel settings are not correct
[08:50] <nimbos> you're getting a true 1.5 mbps speed?
[08:51] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> I did "chmod 777 /opt/lampp" and now when I try going to localhost I must put a username and password. lease help :\
[08:51] <Moonlightning> Afflicto-[ubuntu: you almost /never/ want to use a 777 mode.
[08:52] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> I know but I just get 403 forbidden.

[08:54] <captine> nimbos, trying to figure where to paste a screenshot.  the MB/s and mb/s confuses me i think
[08:55] <nimbos> well
[08:55] <nimbos> bits vs bytes
[08:55] <nimbos> what is the rate you're seeing?
[08:55] <pungi-man> is ubuntu or fedora better for setting up a home server ?
[08:55] <nimbos> with the units you're seeing
[08:55] <Moonlightning> captine: I use cl.ly, most seem to use imgur or something like that
[08:56] <Blackl|Away> bbvs, sorry…
[08:56] <ssta_> pungi-man: in the #ubuntu channel, what do you think the answer will be? :)
[08:57] <nimbos> ssta_ , MS Home Server Obviously...
[08:57] <Ebolla> Nimbos:  WHS 2011 doesn't like my nic.  I have to run it via a VM on Ubuntu /lol.
[08:58] <captine> thanks.  nimbos http://i.imgur.com/qQ56k.png
[08:58] <nimbos> pungi-man, you gotta figure out what you want to do.   Then once you know that, you look at both servers and see what they have available to accomplish your goal.   Then decide which will best satisfy your needs.
[08:59] <Ebolla> pungi-man: my server doesn't like booting from FAT16/32 USB drives so I went with Ubuntu as Fedora's USB only works on FAT.
[09:00] <ssta_> captine: that's megabytes.  Comes to about 11megabit/s
[09:00] <captine> ssta_, thanks.  that's not what i am expecting.  let me finish tinkering with the wireless N setup on my router.  perhaps the router is not using the right channel or something
[09:00] <nimbos> well, that's not horrible, but I'd expect you to have been getting at least 3 MB/s.
[09:00] <pungi-man> which one of them has better networking facilities ?
[09:01] <nimbos> dude, they basically have the same packages
[09:01] <nimbos> go read the internet
[09:01] <captine> nimbos, thanks. on wireless N is 3MB/s really what one would expect?  Only 2 computers connected to the  router
[09:01] <Ebolla> captine:  Understand if you are to close or to far from the router you will lose speed and if you are on a channel that has a LOT of devices on it then you will lose speed as well.
[09:01] <nimbos> captine, most people get around 8MB/s
[09:02] <Ebolla> captine:  You have an android smart phone?  If so get WiFi Analyzer.  It will show all the routers around you and what channels they are on.
[09:02] <nimbos> but if like Ebolla said, you're in a noisy environment, you should expect to have low speeds.
[09:03] <cfhowlett> Ebolla: hey you're not over here with me in China, are you?  The gov't throttles speeds so they enable surveillance
[09:03] <nimbos> captine, your router claims up to 18MB/s.  So I'd expect at least half of that.
[09:03] <nimbos> you said you get that same speed from computer to computer to right?
[09:03] <Ebolla> cfhowlett:  No I'm not bro.  But the throttling over there happens at the ISP level just a fyi.
[09:04] <Ebolla> cfhowlett:  Much like how it is starting to happen here in the US /lol
[09:04] <KM0201> lol,
[09:05] <KM0201> i feel bad for people in china
[09:05] <Ebolla> KM0201:  why?
[09:05] <KM0201> because
[09:05] <pungi-man> no i get 60-70 kbps
[09:07] <Ebolla> KM0201:  I'm still waiting for the answer.
[09:07] <KM0201> no real answer
[09:07] <KM0201> i guess if you don't know you're under communism, it doesn't really matter
[09:07] <Ebolla> KM0201:  So you feel sorry for a country for no reason what so ever?
[09:07] <KM0201> i couldn't stand having the govt. involved that much in my life
[09:08] <Ebolla> KM0201:  You must not live in the US then.
[09:08] <KM0201> Ebolla: trust me, i'm not much happier w/ the our US Govt.
[09:08] <KM0201> lol
[09:12] <captine> nimbos, thanks.  where did you see the router claim?
[09:12] <captine> big difference between 18 and 1.5 :)
[09:13] <Ebolla> anyone know a clean way to auto mount NTFS for Samba/Torrent usage?
[09:14] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> Ok I just did a fresh install of xampp. did the security thing ".../lampp/lampp security". And now I need a username\password to access phpmyadmin. Please help.
[09:15] <kanliot> has 12.04.1 been released?
[09:18] <JPSman> Hey yall.  What is the name of that program named after Richard Stallman that tells me if I am running truly free software or not?
[09:18] <Calinou> vrms
[09:18] <ghabit> kanliot, what is 12.04.1?
[09:18] <Calinou> apt-get install vrms
[09:18] <Calinou> then run vrms in terminal
[09:18] <cfhowlett> !point
[09:18] <cfhowlett> !point-release
[09:18] <Calinou> with ubuntu you won't run truly free software anyway
[09:19] <mauk> JPSman: run "yes no". gives a good first approximation
[09:19] <JPSman> I know.  DVD codec pack excluded
