[17:48] <roasted> bekks: a little history about this box... this box does several things, including video surveillance. I have a monitor hooked up to it. When I'm in my office, I turn the monitor on and I play a live mjpg stream so I can see what's going on.
[17:48] <deadmund> I'm curious why roasted's is so big
[17:48] <vlad_> bekks: I have three logs. Xorg.0.log ; xorg.0.log.old ; xorg.failsafe.log ; xorg.failsafe.log.old . Which one should i paste ? Or all of them ?
[17:48] <bekks> roasted: Then run: du --max-depth=1 ~
[17:49] <bekks> vlad_: The latest log.
[17:49] <roasted> bekks: ever since I began doing that, at times my hdd would max out. I ultimately found .xsession-errors was maxing out the hdd space for some reason. So I began croning it rm -r daily.
[17:49] <roasted> bekks: I thought the cron took care of it, because I've been checking it periodically. No issues. Until today...
[17:49] <nsaquatics> theadmin, how would you move the location of that folder, so let's say (/usr), just curious,
[17:50] <theadmin> nsaquatics: Move? You don't really move /usr, you can mount a partition to /usr though
[17:50] <bekks> roasted: We dont even know wether .xsession-errors is the cause of your problem.
[17:50] <roasted> bekks: it was the previous cause of my problem. I wanted that on the table in case it was relevant. Also - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1203136/
[17:50] <theadmin> nsaquatics: But, you could just move the contents elsewhere, say /var/usr/ or something, and then make /usr a symlink to the new location.
[17:50] <theadmin> Not sure how well that'd work.
[17:50] <nsaquatics> theadmin, ah and when I mount it it would automatically drop the previous location?
[17:51] <nsaquatics> theadmin, oh.. ok.
[17:51] <vlad_> bekks:  This is the Xorg.0.log . The most recent.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1203137/
[17:51] <theadmin> nsaquatics: Well, if you want to move an already existing /usr to a new partition, you make an empty partition, copy everything from /usr over there and then mount that partition to /usr
[17:51] <nsaquatics> theadmin, ok, got it..
[17:52] <theadmin> nsaquatics: Most of the time you configure that during the install process though
[17:53] <daem0n> heyy
[17:54] <daem0n> I cannot find a solution to this:  (initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system.
[17:54] <nsaquatics> theadmin, yeah but if your like me in the beginning I was not sure what size to make what. that's why I was curious. Let's say after wards you figure out you screwed up sizing things.
[17:54] <daem0n> error on intallation
[17:54] <daem0n> seems a common problem with no solution

[17:59] <AnDsO> how to set directory index in apache virtualhost
[17:59] <deadmund> rasterizer: Fixing all of them will be hard.  But you can fix a big chunk (your home folder) but doing sudo chown -R <your user name> /home/<your username>
[18:00] <glguy> What is the right place to put startup commands that should run before the network is configured?
[18:00] <rasterizer> i can login as root and sysadmin(i reverted to default permissions for /home/sysadmin)

[18:12] <akafurious> yea i have 2 macs both are for my music producing and programming  and 3 linux machines for work
[18:12] <Beauness_Round> no, its during easy install, it hangs at retrieving file 55 of 129
[18:12] <Bury> Hi all
[18:12] <Beauness_Round> im using vmware player
[18:12] <akafurious> it could be your connection fails or the repository fails
[18:12] <akafurious> to connect
[18:12] <nsaquatics> if the system is booting from the wrong disk, where can I change it?
[18:12] <akafurious> BIOS
[18:13] <spoljo> Beauness_Round: there are preset vmware images , try using one of those
[18:13] <Beauness_Round> and ive tried vmware player 4.0.2, 4.0.4, and 5.0.0
[18:13] <Beauness_Round> ive tried with vmtools uninstalled and preinstalled
[18:13] <Beauness_Round> thats a good idea thank you
[18:14] <nsaquatics> akafurious, Nope, it won't boot if I tell it to boot from my new raid array.
[18:14] <Barkeep> hi!1
[18:14] <akafurious> oh you are using VMware
[18:14] <Beauness_Round> also is it appropriate to post links related to my problem here?
[18:15] <Beauness_Round> ill risk it, here are the specifics: http://askubuntu.com/questions/187458/ubuntu-12-04-hangs-on-install-using-vmware-player-on-windows-7
[18:15] <akafurious> hmm
[18:16] <Beauness_Round> my current next step is im going to try the alternate install disk, thats downloading now, so i figured id see if anyone had ideas that would save time
[18:16] <noetic> Is anybody familiar with Evan's Debugger ? I've trouble running it on debian (6.0.5 squeeze).
[18:16] <akafurious> are the computers networked
[18:17] <akafurious> into a domain
[18:17] <akafurious> are the computers networked
[18:17] <Beauness_Round> akafurious, are you asking me?
[18:18] <akafurious> never mind, it looks like it can't find the bootloader
[18:18] <Beauness_Round> i am behind a proxy server, but that never caused issues before
[18:18] <akafurious> thats not a problem
[18:19] <akafurious> hmm thats werid
[18:19] <Beauness_Round> ps currently burning the alternate install disk
[18:19] <akafurious> do you know what file 55 is
[18:19] <akafurious> did you burn the disc properly
[18:20] <Beauness_Round> well i dragged it into the drive in windows explorer and then clicked burn. is there a better/more proper way to do so?
[18:20] <gordonjcp> Beauness_Round: sounds like you burnt it to disk as a file
[18:21] <gordonjcp> you need to burn it as an image
[18:21] <akafurious> yes, when burning images
[18:21] <akafurious> burning as a image
[18:21] <gordonjcp> the best way to do it is to use a USB stick ;-)

[18:28] <asogani> I was asked to raise a bug report instead
[18:29] <akafurious> it could be a bug, would be best to report it
[18:29] <Beauness_Round> Dell t3500 with xeon w3540 and vmware and desired ubuntu 64bit 12.04 install
[18:30] <Beauness_Round> ok, thanks for the help, if anyone comes up with anything i have that link earlier to my problem on ubuntu forums

[18:36] <martigan> rob_p_, thank you...  I forgot that the terminal had a menu.  I'm not used to the mac osx style menus
[18:37] <akafurious> check the process tree
[18:37] <rob_p_> martigan: I've been away from Ubuntu for a couple of years until today and so noticed the same thing! :)
[18:37] <rob_p_> martigan: ...well, at least the desktop version...
[18:38] <DoctorD90> problem: i use sftp of open-ssh, but when i loggin with sftp programs, it doenst redirect to user folder..if i try to redirect, it not allow more ssh in terminal...how can i do?
[18:39] <martigan> rob_p_ the desktop is growing on me.  I used to be a bare-bones debian user, but I'm enjoying this.
[18:40] <rob_p_> martigan: I'm just playing with it. I'm not much for the desktop anyway, but I thought I'd bring it up in a virtual machine in order to get with the times again.
[18:41] <rob_p_> martigan: I've got a couple of Debian boxes...
[18:42] <maxflax> How do I enable the OpenGL on FOSS ati drivers?
[18:42] <Calinou> it is enabled if the free drivers support it
[18:42] <Calinou> else, it is not.
[18:42] <Calinou> usually it is slow, anyway
[18:44] <FransWillem> How should I configure getty or putty so that F1 through F12 can actually be used through a serial console ?
[18:45] <maxflax> Calinou - yeah but since the latest fglrx doesn't support newest xorg and I just upgraded without reflecting a litte first im stuck with the open ones
[18:46] <dr_willis> FransWillem:  over a real  serial port terminal you mean
[18:47] <dubaco> what is happening with this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1049911
[18:47] <bekks> dubaco: Someone will confirm it, and maybe someone else will fix it.
[18:48] <dubaco> i have reported before and it has not been fixed :/
[18:48] <dr_willis> and the originalbug number as?
[18:48] <dr_willis> was?
[18:49] <dubaco> ages ago somone confirmed it and then i lost track of what happened
[18:49] <dubaco> they said it was a kernal issue
[18:49] <dr_willis> ages as in years ago?
[18:50] <dubaco> as in 3 months ago
[18:50] <dubaco> its the same issue
[18:52] <murlidhar> how can i downgrade an application to earlier version?
[18:52] <Bennn> I did some updates to Muon, now it's broken. Update manager, software manager, and package manager are all gone under the System menu. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling from the terminal. Here's what is says: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12236603#post12236603
[18:53] <dubaco> murlidhar: !aptpinning
[18:53] <Brewski> hi #ubuntu... Any framebuffer gurus?
[18:53] <bekks> Bennn: "purge" means "remove it, entirely", no "update it".
[18:53] <bekks> You completely dropped muon.
[18:54] <jrib> Brewski: best to just go right ahead and ask the question
[18:54] <Brewski> I have a very obscure setup. our retail counter uses xubuntu systems. We're looking to add a second (touchscreen) monitor to allow customers to sign on screen. I've got that part working...
[18:54] <jrib> Bennn: how did you try to do these "updates"?
[18:55] <TreyHolliday> Quick Kubuntu question: battery monitor widget does not show the correct status even though /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state is fine.
[18:55] <murlidhar> dubaco: whats that ? !aptpinning ?
[18:55] <jrib> Brewski: (try to keep it on one line; use a pastebin if you need to include logs, configs, etc.)
[18:55] <dubaco> look up apt pinning
[18:55] <Muelli> murlidhar: you can use aptitude to select your version with a curses GUI. Or you do it manually with "apt-get install package=version" where version is one of the available versions listed in apt-cache policy $package
[18:55] <Bennn> jrib: I did them though the update manager
[18:55] <murlidhar> dubaco: where ?
[18:55] <murlidhar> ah ok.
[18:55] <jrib> Bennn: so you didn't add some non-standard repositories for example?
[18:55] <dubaco> http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html
[18:56] <Brewski> but the touchscreen gets miscalibrated if the two screens span instead of clone, so I wrote a script to enable and disable the touchscreen... I'm wondering if we can redirect a framebuffer'd console to that screen for advertising when it's not running X
[18:56] <Bennn> jrib: No
[18:56] <Brewski> Is there a better route for that than framebuffer?
[18:56] <Muelli> murlidhar: another option is apt-get install -t $release package where $release is your desired series.
[18:56] <jrib> Bennn: pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy muon libqtcore4 libqtgui4
[18:58] <vlt> Hello. After the last update of my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS desktop I only get 1024x768 "fbdev" and the mouse pointer doesn't move. Here's my Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/Bgxbc0wW -- Any idea how to fix this?
[18:59] <Bennn> jrib: http://pastebin.com/RAaQwP30
[19:00] <vlt> And this is xrandr's output: http://pastebin.com/hbiVkw7c
[19:00] <jrib> Bennn: muon is coming from that ppa
[19:01] <Brewski> Is it possible to only use framebuffer on only one of my two monitors?
[19:02] <bekks> Brewski: No.
[19:02] <Bennn> jrib: So how do I change it to the appropriate one?
[19:03] <jrib> Bennn: well you could just remove that ppa from your /etc/apt/sources.list* and then run "sudo apt-get update"
[19:03] <nsaquatics> ok, here is the outfile from boot-repair. Hopefully this will help. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1203261/
[19:04] <Brewski> bekks: does it have to be aware of both monitors? Could I just set the resolution to 1280x800 and have it display the same on both screens?
[19:04] <booh-> Hi

[19:07] <sburjan> Hello. How can i install Open Office on ubuntu 12.04 ? I don't want Libre Office
[19:07] <TreyHolliday> Kubuntu bugs: Battery indicator doesn't match /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state, nearly always shows it on-line when it's not. ACAD/state is correct. 2) "speaker pop" when running Chrome after a battery-powered boot up, doesn't reappear after connecting then disconnecting the power.
[19:07] <bekks> sburjan: Is there a particular reason for wanting "old" software? libreoffice has about 2 million lines of code more meanwhile.
[19:09] <sburjan> bekks: I ned to run a test with our product. I am testing against Lire office and Open office. And as far as I know, open office is not dead
[19:09] <Bennn> jrib: Ok, these is a file in the sources.list.d folder, which had those repositories listed. I comemnted them out and ran apt-get update.
[19:09] <apgalvao> alguem sabe algum documento que indica o tempo de inicialização do ubuntu server?
[19:09] <bekks> sburjan: There has not been a new release after Oracle released it as open source. Go figure. Practically, it is dead.
[19:10] <Bennn> jrib: Should I try reinstalling muon now? It's still not appearing under the menu.
[19:10] <jrib> Bennn: sure, install it
[19:10] <sburjan> bekks: are you 100% sure ? I am looking at http://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/announcing_apache_openoffice_3_41
[19:12] <wilee-nilee> sburjan, You want to remove everybit of libreoffice first they share start with a purge then remove everything still left. Here is one deb link for openoffice for install. http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html#tested-full
[19:12] <TreyHolliday> OpenOffice is now being maintained by Apache. However, the underlying code is essentially the same as LibreOffice. Functionality between the two should be very similar
[19:12] <TreyHolliday> e.g. what happens in LibreOffice also happens in OpenOffice
[19:12] <bekks> TreyHolliday: The code was the same, they forked.
[19:12] <sburjan> I know they are similar. I'm not a newbie, i have a serious reason to need Open office. I need to run some tests with it
[19:13] <bekks> And libreoffice is pretty much far away from openoffice meanwhile.
[19:13] <Bennn> jrib: Cool. That fixed it. Package manager is back. The software manager and update manager a still gone though. Are those not part of Muon?
[19:13] <bekks> sburjan: Well, then just install openoffice, when you need it :)
[19:13] <nsaquatics> sburjan, I would multiple Virtual machines then each with a different install.
[19:13] <TreyHolliday> bekks: I know :P
[19:13] <TreyHolliday> Any clues on the KDE battery status widget bug?
[19:14] <sburjan> nsaquatics: yepp, this is exactly what I am doing. one Vm for libreoffice (pre-installed) and one VM for Open Office
[19:14] <bhasker> on-board on-screen keyboard does not work with vnc sessions. Is this a known issue ? onb-ard works fine for me but just that the vnc session programs do not get the key strokes
[19:14] <sburjan> but can someone tell me the meta-package name I have to uninstall Libreoffice ?
[19:15] <TreyHolliday> also, should I report that bug to Ubuntu or to KDE?
[19:15] <nsaquatics> Is there a better channel to try and get help with my boot problem?
[19:17] <Iszak_Laptop> I've purchased some hosting, how can I check if it's setup in RAID?
[19:17] <sspies> dmesg
[19:17] <vlt> Iszak_Laptop: Is it a real machine or vurtual?
[19:17] <vlt> *virtual
[19:17] <Iszak_Laptop> vlt, dedicated so real machine.
[19:18] <wilee-nilee> nsaquatics, I see the boot script I missed any description of the problem, looks like a identical sda and sdb If I read it right.
[19:18] <sburjan> wilee-nilee: It seems I don't have the packabe libreofice nor libreoffice-base installed. And I'm out from a fresh ubuntu install. What am I missing ?
[19:18] <sspies> Iszak_Laptop: check mount first to see if it uses software raid. the device should be something like /dev/md...
[19:18] <sspies> Otherwise type dmesg and check for raid controllers
[19:18] <vlt> Iszak_Laptop: Then dmesg or syslog should tell you. Also "mount", "blkid", "fdisk -l" ...
[19:19] <nsaquatics> wilee-nilee, yes I copied sda to sdb via dd but now it won't boot to the new disk (Mirrored Array)
[19:19] <Iszak_Laptop> sspies, nothing says md..
[19:19] <sspies> Iszak_Laptop: Type dmesg |grep -i raid
[19:19] <Iszak_Laptop> nothing.
[19:19] <wilee-nilee> sburjan, I would just do a gksudo naultilus search for anything named libreoffice and it probably did you use purge to remove these originally?
[19:20] <nsaquatics> wilee-nilee, If I tell the BIOS to boot from the new array it doesn't work. So at the moment it's botting from the old disk.
[19:20] <sspies> Iszak_Laptop: What is your roots device name from mount?
[19:20] <sburjan> yes, i used purge
[19:20] <sburjan> wilee-nilee: yes, I used purge
[19:20] <Iszak_Laptop> sspies http://pastie.org/private/9deymeobju8cyi5ts43jsa
[19:21] <sspies> Iszak_Laptop: please pastie dmesg | grep sd
[19:21] <wilee-nilee> nsaquatics, Boot to the new mirror unplug the other HD and run sudo update-grub, grub in general will confuse the two HD setup like this.
[19:21] <sspies> or just dmesg without sd
[19:21] <sspies> without grep
[19:22] <Iszak_Laptop> there's a lot of output from dmesg..
[19:22] <sspies> yeah, just copy the whole thing to pastie please
[19:22] <nsaquatics> wilee-nilee, when I tell the BIOS to boot to the new mirror it just sit's there with a blinking cursor as if it doesn't see an OS on the mirror to boot to.
[19:22] <aLeSD> hi all
[19:23] <aLeSD> I just bought a 1 TB external hard drive ... which is the best filesystem ?
[19:23]  * TreyHolliday will try again on the ubuntu forums later... gotsta head to work for now.
[19:23] <wilee-nilee> sburjan, The only is to exchange these is to get everybit of one or the other removed to install the other, you may be there now, I have not read every post you have made.
[19:23] <woo-0854> nsaquatics: nfs set up?

[19:24] <andreb> hi all
[19:24] <andreb> how can i clone a drive in ubuntu 10.04 lts ?
[19:25] <Iszak_Laptop> andreb clonezilla?
[19:25] <nsaquatics> aLeSD, That's a loaded question... my guess is you ask 10 people you'll get 10 different answers..
[19:25] <nsaquatics> andreb, dd
[19:25] <aLeSD> ext3
[19:26] <andreb> i want to clone my aging 250gb drive to a 750gb drive
[19:26] <nsaquatics> woo-0854, I had it to where it would start the boot from sda and then continue booting from sdb. But now in my effort to fix it it just boots from sda
[19:26] <wilee-nilee> nsaquatics, WE have to assume here that the original was not broken and the copy is not, So a grub reload to the second HD's mbr (the mirror) seems appropriate. I assume again that you have the HD be read correctly from the bios.  Grub gets confused with identical HD, the original needs to be unplugged to get the second one running most likely.
[19:26] <sourav> can anyone tell me how to create internet connection ppp using huawei E1750 in ubuntu 12.04 LTS server?
[19:27] <aLeSD> maybe ntfs
[19:27] <bhasker> can anyone help me with on-board on-screen keyboard does not work with vnc sessions. Is this a known issue ? onb-ard works fine for me but just that the vnc session programs do not get the key strokes
[19:28] <Iszak_Laptop> sspies any thought?
[19:28] <nsaquatics> wilee-nilee, ok you are right with your assumption. Both work how do I do a grub-reload? With Boot-Repair?
[19:28] <sspies> Iszak_Laptop: sec plz
[19:30] <alecb> how would I check what drivers are currently in use for my wifi card? I attempted to install linux drivers from Realtek for my new t430, but I'm still experiencing the problems I was before I used the new drivers. how can I confirm that the new drivers were installed/are being used?
[19:31] <wilee-nilee> nsaquatics, With the boot repair just use a live disc unplug the original HD, and run the recommended repair. This can be done from a live cd as well with some commands with that app as well.
[19:31] <Eagleman7> root@eagleman:~# /etc/init.d/saslauthd start
[19:31] <Eagleman7> bash: /etc/init.d/saslauthd: No such file or directory
[19:31] <nydel> i just did apt-get upgrade & got a grub error, unable to use grub on /dev/loop0 -- i rebooted, no choice, & everything seems fine. is it fine?
[19:31] <wilee-nilee> without the boot repair is what I meant this can be done as well. nsaquatics
[19:32] <nsaquatics> wilee-nilee, I see. I'll try that then. what commands am I looking for to do this?
[19:33] <m3thyl> why is the "Volume/Mute" section for sound alert greyed out and enabled despite my attempts to disable them. i am now permanently stuck with blaring alerts (when i want none)
[19:33] <wilee-nilee> nsaquatics, Here is the grub wiki defaulting to using a live cd. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstall_from_the_LiveCD

[19:35] <hyperkineitc> Hi all. Just upgraded from Ubuntu 11.04 to 12.04 and now Samba seems crippled. My public shares are still accessible, but user shares are not. Anyone have a clue?
[19:36] <wilee-nilee> nsaquatics, ask any questions if needed, below that method is a chroot to do the same thing as well, just another method.

[19:43] <Muelli> reCAPTCHA: well, I think I could just move my partition once. I had the same problem. It worked for me. Dunno if your filesystem is supported by GParted thuogh.
[19:43] <reCAPTCHA> wilee-nilee: Yes it is part of an extended partition...
[19:43] <nsaquatics> wilee-nilee, thanks for the help. I'll try that this evening once the store is closed.
[19:44] <vlt> vlt: The update messed up your grub.cfg and you’re running the wrong 3.0.0 kernel. Switching back to 10.04’s 2.6.38-10 helps.
[19:45] <wilee-nilee> reCAPTCHA, The extended is a container for a logical it has to be moved first if the one your are trying to expand is bumped up against it.
[19:45] <mizifih> I was wondering if there's a way to rotate my desktop, I'm using the nVidia accelerated graphics driver, on Ubuntu 12.04

[19:47] <wilee-nilee> Iszak_Laptop, that is not a LT you want 12.04 right?
[19:47] <Iszak_Laptop> wilee-nilee; yeah only 12.04 and to then only ever get prompted to upgrade to LTS in the future.

[19:55] <wilee-nilee> reCAPTCHA, Right click sda2 in the list then resize and exspand it to the left run it then do the same for sda5.  The extended as it is so thin is easier to access the controls (right clicks) in the list of partitions rather then the picture at the top.
[19:56] <dr_willis> lanoxx:  export  the variable perhaps

[19:59] <dr_willis> bbl
[19:59] <jrib> lanoxx: also try LANGUAGE and LANG
[20:00] <lanoxx> jrib, those too work, but LC_ALL give the above error
[20:00] <lanoxx> but when i call a program then its still in english
[20:01] <wilee-nilee> reCAPTCHA, That resize of the sda5 will take a while as well, and may not boot without a reload of grub to the mbr so be prepared.
[20:01] <reCAPTCHA> wilee-nilee: Great... thanks... it seems to have worked.
[20:01] <jrib> lanoxx: what did you mean by "work"?
[20:02] <wilee-nilee> reCAPTCHA, Cool, it is confusing at times, hehe. ;)
[20:02] <lanoxx> jrib, exporting LANGUAGE=de_DE and LANG=de_DE does NOT give an error,
[20:02] <lanoxx> but LC_ALL gives this stupid error
[20:03] <lanoxx> and even if i call LANG=de_DE gedit i get wired responses
[20:03] <jrib> lanoxx: does it still complain if you do "LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8"?  How did you install the locale?
[20:03] <lanoxx> LANG=de gedit        (process:29331): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.	Using the fallback 'C' locale.
[20:04] <lanoxx> jrib, via the system settings language support which claims that everything is alright
[20:04] <lanoxx> jrib, and i tried this blog entry: http://web.onassar.com/blog/2011/07/27/adding-a-language-package-french-to-ubuntu-linux-1/
[20:04] <lanoxx> jrib, the output from that functions suggests that everything is alright
[20:05] <jrib> lanoxx: you're confusing me because you said earlier that LANG "works" but now you say you get weird responses
[20:08] <lanoxx> jrib, using the bash command 'export' for example export LANG=de_DE does NOT give an error, thats what i mean by 'works' but export LC_ALL=de_DE DOES give an error, so this does NOT work
[20:08] <jrib> lanoxx: does it still complain if you do "LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8"?

[20:09] <jrib> lanoxx: yes, I can use LANGUAGE in a vague way (just doing LANGUAGE=pt_PT or even just LANGUAGE=pt), but for LANG and LC_ALL I've always needed to specify pt_PT.UTF-8 in full
[20:10] <lanoxx> jrib, IHMO thats a bad bug
[20:10] <lanoxx> jrib, but thank you very much for your help

[20:12] <HoNgOuRu> hi, i have a problem
[20:12] <HoNgOuRu> I want to make a script that runs a ssh commans
[20:12] <HoNgOuRu> command
[20:12] <nancy_grace> Nancy Grace says that Nancy Grace needs to get help with her ubuntu machine (TM).
[20:12] <HoNgOuRu> but it asks for the ssh password
[20:12] <HoNgOuRu> I want to do all in a single line
[20:12] <HoNgOuRu> is that possible ?
[20:12] <kristian-aalborg> cheers
[20:12] <beandog> HoNgOuRu: yah, use public keys without a passphrase
[20:13] <kristian-aalborg> trying to rotate a pdf file
[20:13] <nancy_grace> Can noone help Nancy Grace?
[20:13] <jrib> nancy_grace: just ask your question (on one line)
[20:13] <HoNgOuRu> beandog, there has to be a generic way
[20:13] <kristian-aalborg> using "pdftk input.pdf cat 1-endW output final.pdf" but it is not working
[20:13] <nancy_grace> jrib: Nancy Grace needs to be able to run Microsoft Office (TM) on her Ubuntu (TM) machine, why can't I, Nancy Grace, do this?
[20:14] <kristian-aalborg> nothing happens
[20:14] <jrib> nancy_grace: if you're just going to troll, go elsewhere
[20:14] <lanoxx> jrib, actually both LANG AND LC_ALL need to be exported to work
[20:14] <HoNgOuRu> I mean, what if I want to execute a certain script that will ask me 2 or 3 things, is there any way of put the answers right after the program runs ?
[20:14] <beandog> HoNgOuRu: that's pretty generic
[20:14] <lanoxx> jrib,  if either is missing then i still get english
[20:14] <beandog> HoNgOuRu: you could setup keys between the two boxes and use those as a requirement
[20:14] <beandog> HoNgOuRu: er, certs
[20:14] <HoNgOuRu> beandog, forget about ssh
[20:15] <HoNgOuRu> let's talk generic
[20:15] <beandog> how far apart are the boxes, network wise
[20:15] <tsimpson> HoNgOuRu: rephrase as a generic question then, one without the term "ssh"
[20:15] <nancy_grace> jrib: Nancy Grace is not trying to troll. I, Nancy Grace, need to get my Microsoft Office (TM) installed on my Ubuntu (TM) machine.
[20:15] <jrib> lanoxx: hmm, my LC_ALL is not set by default, but I can set either LC_ALL or LANG (just one) to pt_PT and it works
[20:15] <HoNgOuRu> lets say a script asks for my name to salute me... can I run the script and at the question, make the terminal autoanswer the name question ?
[20:16] <lionrouge> hi
[20:16] <beandog> HoNgOuRu: yes, using yes
[20:16] <HoNgOuRu> tsimpson, roger that
[20:16] <jrib> nancy_grace: stop talking with the TM and constantly metioning "Nancy Grace" then
[20:16] <tsimpson> HoNgOuRu: depends on what the script uses to ask that question
[20:16] <HoNgOuRu> beandog, how ?
[20:16] <beandog> HoNgOuRu: for one command, that is.  But if you're talking about scripts versus ssh, then I'm not gonna get into that.
[20:16] <lanoxx> jrib, strange
[20:16] <beandog> HoNgOuRu: fex, yes y | install.sh
[20:16] <jrib> lanoxx: I meant "pt_PT.UTF-8" of course
[20:16] <lanoxx> jrib, yeah
[20:16] <nancy_grace> jrib: I, Nancy Grace, can not help it.  I, Nancy Grace, will stop at nothing until justice is found.
[20:16] <HoNgOuRu> beandog, ill try that

[20:39] <MrNaz> how can you mount a windows share with rw perms? when i add it to fstab the whole thing is mounted with root as the owner... can it be mounted with the user shown as the owner of the files? i use -o rw when mounting
[20:42] <Muelli> MrNaz: hm. I just click the thing nautilus, the filemanager. So no messing with fstab.
[20:42] <alberto> hi
[20:42] <alberto> i have an MTP device

[20:43] <askersearchinghe> jordan_u : i have been looking for help for a week . i cant withstand anymore
[20:43] <alberto> But nautilus doesn't display files inside folder
[20:43] <alberto> but gMTP yes and takes 1 minute to go inside a folder
[20:43] <Jordan_U> askersearchinghe: I understand that that is frustrating, but using all caps isn't productive. Have you tried http://askubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org ?
[20:44] <askersearchinghe> yes , 3 times for each

[21:01] <pinpotral> when i turn my pc down
[21:01] <pinpotral> the hd stops and not turn down
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> turn it down?  From what I've read the superblock is different to the partition table. What filesystem is your RAID using (some filesystems repeat the superblock every x number of bytes, i.e. my laptop has a copy of the 14 backup copies of superblock)? From a quick Google around there appear to be some tools that *might* help but I think they are ext2/3/4 tools (e2fsck and dumpe2fs).
[21:02] <woosim> hello. Where does thunderbird take the information that he displays in recently used(when trying to add an attachment to an email) in ubuntu 12.04
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> woosim: possibly the sme history recorder in dash#
[21:04] <i7c> woosim: have you tried ~/.thunderbird/...  ?
[21:04] <woosim> i7c: i'm asking because it's showing files I might have used, but never attached
[21:05] <i7c> oh ok then my guess might be wrong ;)
[21:05] <woosim> I already tried deleting the history in the privacy settings, but this didn't help and I don't like my system doing things without me knowing ;)
[21:06] <johndonsl> Hi. I'm trying to allow myself to use sudo. There's nothing on this in the 12.04 documentation. I tried "usermod -a -G admin chrisseaton" from a tutorial from older versions, and I get the message "usermod: group 'admin' does not exist". Any ideas?
[21:07] <i7c> johndonsl: i think you have to add yourself to the sudo group :)
[21:07] <pinpotral> how can i solve acdi?
[21:08] <Iszak_Laptop> Is a w_await of 200 odd, high?
[21:08] <johndonsl> i7c: got it, thanks
[21:08] <Guest13966> MrNaz: You can specify uid=x and gid=y (where x and y are the user ID and group ID for the user you want to be the owner) in fstab. Windows Share (Server Message Block - SMB protocol) doesn't actually have user/permissions as part of the protocol. AFAIK the permissions (in the Windows world) are dealt with by the underlying filesystem (NTFS).
[21:11] <beast_> hello everybody
[21:11] <Pyr0_Audax> HELLO
[21:11] <beast_> im having a problem in 12.04
[21:11] <Pyr0_Audax> ok wat problem
[21:11] <beast_> the problem is, the system is not loading the ndiswrapper module after a reboot forcing me to modprobe it everytime
[21:12] <Pyr0_Audax> i dony know anything about modules, soo i dont know :P
[21:12] <beast_> now its taken me a few days just to figure out how to get this damn netgear wifi dongle to even work, now it will only work if i modprobe and manually load the module everytime i start the computer up
[21:12] <Pyr0_Audax> lol
[21:12] <Pyr0_Audax> that sucks
[21:13] <Pyr0_Audax> I had a problem with my tp-link usb thingy
[21:13] <beast_> ok well this is a support channel and there are about 1000 other people in here, maybe one of them could help me figure this out?
[21:13] <MalfermitaKodo> beast_: have you consider writing it into a boot-script?
[21:13] <Pyr0_Audax> he knows
[21:13] <beast_> MalfermitaKodo, im afraid im wouldnt even know how to do that
[21:13] <beast_> MalfermitaKodo,  maybe u could give me some instruction?
[21:14] <baronobeefdip> Hello I need some help opening port 6000 for remote X server access
[21:14] <Pyr0_Audax> somehow make a script that automatically loads the module, idk im not the expert
[21:14] <MalfermitaKodo> yeah, thinking back of how I did it for my damnslow
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> Pyr0_Audax: add the module name in /etc/modules
[21:15] <beast_> MalfermitaKodo, i put ndiswrapper into /etc/modules, but that doesnt seem to do it..
[21:15] <beast_> lol..
[21:15] <beast_> ActionParsnip, u responded moments before i could enter my last response
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> beast_: or add:  modprobe ndiswrapper  in /etc/rc.local    above the 'exit 0' line and it will run at boot
[21:15] <beast_> ActionParsnip, ill try that now, thx
[21:17] <beast_> ActionParsnip, uhh....inside the script it says "by default this script does nothing."
[21:17] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:  over a local lan? or the internet?
[21:17] <beast_> ActionParsnip, is this the best place to put ndiswrapper?
[21:17] <baronobeefdip> local lan
[21:18] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:  why not just use ssh and x forwarding?
[21:18] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/34657/how-to-make-x-org-listen-to-remote-connections-on-port-6000
[21:18] <baronobeefdip> I am using xdmx to create a tile display, each computer will act as a node and control it's own screen according to the servers requests
[21:19] <beast_> ActionParsnip, hello??
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> beast_: there isn't really a best
[21:19] <baronobeefdip> and each node will be listening for connections to their x sever on port 6000
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> beast_: have some patience
[21:19] <beast_> ActionParsnip, oh srry..
[21:19] <beast_> ActionParsnip, sry bud, im just irritated atm
[21:19] <beast_> ActionParsnip, not your fault, and im sorry.
[21:19] <beast_> ActionParsnip, is ndiswrapper a daemon?
[21:20] <dr_willis> !info ndiswrapper
[21:20] <baronobeefdip> i don't think that ssh x forwarding has the ability to make a tile display, It seems that you are able to create a config file that has the layout of all of the nodes, which section of the display each node belongs to. and you can use the xdmx command to make the nodes display pictures that the computer running xdmx tells it to
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> beast_: its a module
[21:21] <baronobeefdip> I have already been to that link and it didn't work, it is also unclear which version of ubuntu it's addressing
[21:21] <beast_> ActionParsnip, oh duh. i did know that.
[21:21] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:  most likely not.  seems you need to start X in a way that it dosent use the 'nolisten tcp' option from the url i posted above
[21:21] <MalfermitaKodo> Hi, do you guys have an idea as to what to use to do regular, incremental backups?
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> !backup
[21:21] <fris> is it possible to run identd only on localhost, but it still do ident replies kinda like how mysql has skip networking
[21:21] <baronobeefdip> I have seen that link already and it didn't work
[21:21] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:  so i guess you would have to explore the X configs and scripts and see what one is applying that option
[21:22] <beast_> ActionParsnip, what would i edit to make the system load the module at boot?
[21:22] <baronobeefdip> I have been exploring some websites where people have pulled this off, here at the university of tennessee they were able to setup their tile display wall with xdmx
[21:22] <baronobeefdip> here is the config file
[21:23] <baronobeefdip> http://seelab.eecs.utk.edu/powerwall/dmx-config.php
[21:23] <nshbrown> when I mount a shared folder, I try using the "sudo mount -t vboxsf shared.com /d/shared.com -o rw,exec,uid=33,gid=33,dmask=022,fmask=133" command, and I can't seem to get the group and other to get write permissions, only read. I've tried multiple variants of the mask #'s such as 777. Any ideas how to get the mount to have ugo+rw on the entire mount?
[21:23] <baronobeefdip> and here is the command(s) that they ran to get the dmx console on the server machine and control what gets displayed on each screen on each node
[21:23] <baronobeefdip> http://seelab.eecs.utk.edu/powerwall/dmx-run.php
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> beast_: /etc/modules or a command in /etc/rc.local to load the module
[21:23] <baronobeefdip> the only thing that i am unable to do is to get x server to listen on port 6000
[21:24] <baronobeefdip> is there a step by step guide on how to do this, and if so is this easier to do in red hat distributions or are they equal in difficulty
[21:24] <carlo> Hello guys, I got problem with overlapping subtitles when I use Mplayer. Any idea how to fix it ?
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> carlo: do other players work ok?
[21:25] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:  ->    grep nolisten /etc/X11/*/*
[21:25] <beast_> ActionParsnip, i put "modprobe ndiswrapper" right above exit 0 in rc.local
[21:25] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip: /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc:exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@"
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> beast_: that'll do it
[21:26] <_d4vid> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r97dDR0n0yY& howto fix that? i use command from comment but that dosnt help me
[21:26] <baronobeefdip> just ran that command and this is what came up
[21:26] <baronobeefdip> Binary file /etc/X11/X matches
[21:26] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:  that option causes X to ignore port 6000 from what im reading..
[21:26] <baronobeefdip> I just tried to open it in gedit and gedit was unable to display it
[21:26] <dr_willis> im on 12.10 so my stuff may be differnt.
[21:27] <dr_willis>   /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc    is a text file...
[21:27] <beast_> ActionParsnip, its also in the modules file
[21:27] <dr_willis> with 2 lines in it. ;)
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> beast_: should give the desired result
[21:27] <baronobeefdip> just lost those command you posted in my client, can you post them again
[21:27] <LibertyTrader> If I install Ubuntu beta, can I use that to update to full release?
[21:27] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:       grep nolisten /etc/X11/*/*
[21:28] <dr_willis> LibertyTrader:  thats how the package system works.. yes.
[21:28] <carlo> ActionParsnip yep everything works fine with VLC but I use Mplayer because there is option to move subtitles on the bottom of the screen
[21:28] <baronobeefdip> nothing appeared after running that command
[21:28] <baronobeefdip> I also want to know how to do this in debian
[21:29] <baronobeefdip> but lets focus on ubuntu for now
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> carlo: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cche policy mplayer
[21:29] <nydel> recently i apt-get installed a package, it was all the audio bits from ubuntustudio -- anyone know that package name? it installed too much stuff, i need to remove all of it & start from scratch
[21:29] <_d4vid> people help me please
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> carlo: use a pastebin to host the text please
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> _d4vid: ask and see
[21:29] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:  No idea if that file dosent exist for you.. i would think its a fairly standard file for X.
[21:29] <LibertyTrader> I am absolutely desperate for a really recent linux distro I can install
[21:29] <_d4vid> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r97dDR0n0yY& howto fix that?
[21:29] <LibertyTrader> Ubuntu is too old, I get crashes
[21:29] <LibertyTrader> Suse installer doesn't even boot
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> LibertyTrader: there was a release in April, very new
[21:29] <LibertyTrader> I guess I might have to turn to arch
[21:30] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:  whats lsb_release -r   say for your system? what version are you using
[21:30] <LibertyTrader> ActionParsnip, I have ivy bride  ultrabook... Ubuntu just hard freezes on my
[21:30] <LibertyTrader> me
[21:30] <LibertyTrader> even on livecd
[21:30] <nydel> dr_willis: & ActionParsnip: could either of you weigh in on what i just said?
[21:31] <baronobeefdip> Just looked up how to do it in redhat and all there is to it is just running the gedit on the /etc/gdm/custom.conf and change the DisallowTCP=true to DisallowTCP=false, I am confused as to the name of the config file's location, gdm, I thought this was suppossed to be an X configuration
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> LibertyTrader: thats not due to the OS being old then , thats systm config
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> LibertyTrader: why did you think it was old, and taht even 'oldness' ws the issue?
[21:31] <LibertyTrader> I think maybe touchpad driver is out of date
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> _d4vid: I don't see an issue there, what is the issue?
[21:31] <LibertyTrader> or some driver is out of date so I want newer kernel
[21:31] <dr_willis> nydel:  those meta-packages make it easy to pull in stuff.. but harder to remove it again. :) it may have been ubuntu-studio perhaps?
[21:31] <zykotick9> baronobeefdip: are you using GDM?  lightdm is default.
[21:32] <LibertyTrader> I can't even install ubuntu because the livecd desktop freezes
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> LibertyTrader: try Quantal then it will have newer versions of the drivers
[21:32] <_d4vid> ActionParsnip, scaling problem with latest ati driver on 12.04
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> LibertyTrader: tried the boot option: nomodeset
[21:32] <dr_willis> ubuntustudio-audio - Transitional Package for the Audio Seed
[21:32] <baronobeefdip> not sure, I can tell you that I am using lucid lynx
[21:32] <dr_willis> ubuntustudio-desktop - Ubuntu Studio Desktop Package
[21:32] <_d4vid> ActionParsnip, is not possible to scale window maximize
[21:32] <zykotick9> baronobeefdip: lucid used GDM
[21:32] <LibertyTrader> ActionParsnip, How do I set that option? On liveusb it just boots straight to destkop. No time for parameters
[21:32] <nydel> dr_willis: it wasn't - it was close, but it had "audio" or "sound" in there, specifically audio things & not video
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | LibertyTrader
[21:33] <dr_willis> nydel:   ubuntustudio-desktop - Ubuntu Studio Desktop Package
[21:33] <baronobeefdip> How do I open the port then
[21:33] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:  what does   cat /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
[21:33] <dr_willis> say?
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> _d4vid: so when you maximize an application window, what happens?
[21:33] <baronobeefdip> #!/bin/sh
[21:33] <baronobeefdip> exec /usr/bin/X "$@"
[21:33] <dr_willis> opening port 6000 from the forums -->  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1682462
[21:33] <baronobeefdip> that what it shows
[21:34] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:  now thats interesting... have you edited that file befor?
[21:34] <baronobeefdip> yes
[21:34] <_d4vid> ActionParsnip, not application windows .. dispay resolution
[21:34] <dr_willis> etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc:exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@"    is the normal
[21:34] <nydel> dr_willis: the package is ubuntustudio-audio -- but when i do apt-get remove, it only wants to remove that package, 44kb. it pulled gigabytes of packages!
[21:34] <beast_> ActionParsnip, any other tips on how to get the module to load at boot?
[21:34] <dr_willis> so when you reboot  X should start and listen then to port 6000
[21:34] <dr_willis> nydel:  because its a meta-package that just pulls in other packages
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> _d4vid: is the resolution too low?
[21:35] <derekv> fastest way to clone an ubuntu install ? both are on network , don't want to wait for dd however
[21:35] <nydel> dr_willis: is there a way to wipe away a meta-package
[21:35] <dr_willis> nydel:  those meta-packages make it easy to pull in stuff.. but harder to remove it again. :) <<<<   why i said this earlier
[21:35] <mike__> nydel: unfortunately that's because it's a meta-package, it just lists other packages to install.
[21:35] <nydel> dr_willis: or should i -s install it, copy the list & remove all that?
[21:36] <dr_willis> you could look at what depends it pulled in i guess..  i rarely uninstalls tuff.
[21:36] <hwkiller-netbook> canonical should patch apt to support properly removing metapackages
[21:36] <_d4vid> ActionParsnip, no look at video .. monitor resolution is not correct .. amd catalyst driver want save setting of scaling window
[21:37] <dr_willis> with that logic removeing gedit, would remove ubuntu-desktop which would remove most everything.......
[21:37] <nydel> hwkiller-netbook: i think i will write a script that does it, just a few regex running a -s install to get the package names then a big apt-get remove every single package that it installed
[21:37] <derekv> can I get everything with rsync and then restore grub and boot, or will rsync miss anything important ?
[21:37] <baronobeefdip> so with what I just posted, will the contents of the configuration file I just posted be able to listen to port 6000
[21:37] <baronobeefdip> and when you reply to me, include my name its easier for me to read that way
[21:37] <nydel> dr_willis: if i get the list of packages it pulled, then uninstall them, do i run the risk of uninstalling something important
[21:37] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:  from what im reading you just need to edit that one file. restart X, and of course make sure the firewall is not blocking.
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> _d4vid: how am I supposed to know the correct resolution for your disaply?
[21:38] <dr_willis> nydel:  if a package overlaps with the depends of ubuntu-desktop its possible
[21:38] <baronobeefdip> how do you restart x now that the nolisten piece is gone
[21:38] <dr_willis> baronobeefdip:  one way - reboot.. another way. 'sudo service lightdm restart'
[21:38] <baronobeefdip> because i think that if i restart the computer itself it won't be available to recieve x requests
[21:38] <nydel> dr_willis: sigh, i guess it was pretty irresponsible of me to blindly install a metapackage then.
[21:38] <dr_willis> so you edited that file then never tried restarting X?
[21:38] <baronobeefdip> i am seeing that this is a little easier to set in red hat
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> _d4vid: the screen has a res of 1920x1024
[21:39] <dr_willis> GDM just happens to have a config for it.. port 6000 is considered a big security hole.

[21:43] <ancient_> Hello, Anyone know how to use a  device called G-raid, i can get it  to mount  and  see the  folders in the drive  but when i try to  write to it I get  I/O error
[21:46] <mike__> ancient_: Have you mounted the device with write permissions?
[21:46] <ancient_> yes , i think i did  will check
[21:47] <unknow> hi
[21:47] <gd515> does anyone know a easy fix for this http://askubuntu.com/questions/36820/how-to-make-youtube-fullscreen-actually-fullscreen  I tried something things there but im not understanding or getting it ?
[21:48] <ancient_> it  has permissions to  read  / write
[21:49] <unknow> I have a laptop with win7 and ubuntu 10.4. I installed ubuntu 12 and had to create partition. It asked for "Root mount point" and I choose "/" is this correct? also the new ubuntu does appear on grub menu. thaks
[21:49] <excelsior> help! I need to get the monitor preferences on my laptop screen, for some reason it started up on the extended screen
[21:49] <gd515> yes thats right unknow
[21:49] <unknow> *doesn'y***
[21:49] <gd515> try easyBCD
[21:49] <unknow> doesn't***
[21:52] <dr_willis> excelsior:  if using unity the workspace switcher icon shows the desktops in a grid, you can drag windows around with that to other desktops/monitors i belive
[21:52] <wilee-nilee> unknow, Are you having a problem?
[21:52] <excelsior> dr_willis: I closed it, unplugged the cable, started it, and it came up fine
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> unknow: you will need to set the partition  you want to use as / to be formatted and set to Ext4
[21:53] <dr_willis> unknow:  / is known as the 'root' of the os. yes.
[21:53] <dr_willis>  / = root partition.
[21:53] <dr_willis> not to be confused with roots home which is /root/
[21:53] <mike__> ancient_: Sorry I should have asked my previous question better. Does the mountpoint and filesystem (shares/folders etc) have write permissions. P.s. I'm assuming we're talking about one of these? http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-raid.cfm

[21:57] <gd515> how can i get stuff fullscreen on videos i have multi monitor and im having no luck ?
[21:57] <dr_willis> gd515:  whats your video chipset/drivers and what player?
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> gd515: if you click the fullscreen button, what happens?
[21:57] <OerHeks> gd515 on that link you gave, try the HTML5 optin, enable it @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
[21:58] <gd515> i have a nvidia card , its actually like youtube or any other website wont work
[21:58] <gd515> OerHeks that works but how about other sites ?
[21:58] <mike__> ancient_: OK, I presume that's the directory that the device is mounted to (i.e. under /mnt or /media). What does the "mount" give you? Is option "rw" against the device.
[21:59] <OerHeks> gd515, only @ youtube, not on other sites AFAIK
[21:59] <gd515> actionparsnip it stretches it out horizontal cuz of the resolution on my second monitor
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> gd515: does it affect all browsers?
[22:00] <zykotick9> gd515: i have issues with fullscreen webvideo with my multi-monitor setup as well :|  (i have 2 different resolutions, and i believe that is the source of many of my issues.  btw, web video works ok fullscreen on my smaller monitor - but not the big one.  WEIRD half-screen playback and craps on the big one...
[22:00] <dr_willis> gd515:  you are using the nvidia drivers? You have twinview enabled?
[22:00] <gd515> it does that in firefox and chromium
[22:01] <dr_willis> gd515:  I tend to use a 'flashvideoreplacer' extension for firefox that plays flash in vlc or totem or mplayer. ;) so i may have just never noticed the issue..
[22:01] <gd515> same here zykotick9
[22:01] <mike__> ancient_: sorry that was supposed to read ..."mount" command...
[22:02] <gd515> im using seperate x
[22:02] <dr_willis> ive never seen a need for seperate X.. odd that its having any issues at all really with Seperate X displays
[22:03] <zykotick9> gd515: if you're using sepeartex it should work.  i never use seperate, only twinview.
[22:03] <gd515> mmm just a min
[22:05] <gd515> where do i go to check if i have seperate X or twin im sure im on seperate
[22:06] <zykotick9> gd515: what's your video card?
[22:06] <dr_willis> gd515:  can you drag a window from one monitor to the other?
[22:06] <gd515> Nvidia geforce 9800 GTX
[22:06] <gd515> yes
[22:06] <zykotick9> gd515: use nvidia-settings
[22:07] <dr_willis> then you are either using twinview, or just xinerama
[22:07] <dr_willis> NOT seperate X displays
[22:07] <gd515> ok its TwinView
[22:07] <dr_willis> run nvidia-settings and be sure twinview is enabled. ;) not just xinerama.
[22:07]  * zykotick9 notes that twinview is nvidia's propritary version of xinerama
[22:07] <gd515> says configuration Twinview
[22:08] <tudrom> my 8gb mini-sd cannot be unmounted, i tried to format it with mkfs, but the feedback is unable to open /dev/sdc
[22:08] <gd515> dr_willis so will that flashvideoreplacer fix that web video issue?
[22:09] <dr_willis> gd515:  i watch all my flash videos in vlc. no hassles here.
[22:09] <zykotick9> tudrom: FYI! you format partitions (sdc1) not drives sdc
[22:09] <gd515> is that a extension ?
[22:10] <dr_willis> https://github.com/webgapps/flvideoreplacer
[22:10] <dr_willis> yes...
[22:10] <dr_willis> or i use the various flash-downloaders to just download flash and watch them that way
[22:10] <dr_willis> i rarely watch them in the browser with flash  these days
[22:11] <Offlein> I am using xbindkeys to rebind my audio play/pause key to send a custom command to a program that doesn't catch it by default. I also want it to do the original command as well, but I don't know how to make it send the "default" command -- does anyone know?
[22:11] <tudrom> ok, now it's /dev/sdc1 contains a mounted file system - by the way its not unmountable with gparted and disk utility
[22:12] <gd515> dr_willis what do i do with it when i download it ? i went to the mozilla site and its bn removed
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> Offlein: its one or the other, You could add the windows key to your shortcut
[22:12] <jrib> Offlein: what's the default command?
[22:13] <zykotick9> tudrom: from terminal "mount | grep -i sdc"
[22:13] <Offlein> ActionParsnip: I would just make a script that does the new command plus the old ... whatever-it-is. (Ideally there's a "command" being executed by default, but I don't really know.
[22:13] <Offlein> jrib: I don't know. But it play/pauses all normal media players
[22:13] <jrib> Offlein: it's probably just some other daemon catching it
[22:13] <Offlein> By default in Ubuntu if I download Banshee, Clementine, Rhythmbox, or whatever, they all automatically respond to that.
[22:14] <Offlein> jrib: Right! Is there any sort of way to trace down what is catching it?
[22:14] <jrib> Offlein: I don't know of a good way offhand.  But maybe try having your xbindkeys command emit that button press again (I think this will put it in some infinite loop, but hey might as well try)
[22:15] <tudrom> '/dev/sdc1 on /media/y>' is shown
[22:15] <Offlein> jrib yeah I suspect that will happen. But maybe if I have it emit that key first! And then do the next command.
[22:15] <zykotick9> tudrom: from terminal "sudo umount /media/y"
[22:15] <Offlein> jrib: I guess the next question is how to trigger a keyboard command via a script
[22:15] <dr_willis> gd515:  have firefox install it...
[22:15] <gd515> its bn removed from firefox
[22:15] <gd515> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashvideoreplacer/
[22:16] <jrib> Offlein: there are a few options.  You can use xmacroplay or xvkbd for example
[22:16] <dr_willis> gd515:  yes.. thats why i gave the download url...
[22:17] <Offlein> jrib: Right on. Thank you. Seems like there are a ton. I'll try it!
[22:17] <jrib> Offlein: an xvkbd example: /usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Control_L]\[Page_Up]    And an xmacroplay example: echo ButtonPress 2 | xmacroplay -d 0 :0.0   (I don't know if either will work for you)
[22:18] <ZL1SH> ..
[22:19] <gd515> ok i need to figure out how to get firefox to install it i have it downloaded
[22:19] <jrib> Offlein: and yeah I'd be surprised if it doesn't start looping.  If it does the only thing I can think of doing is looking at all the running programs you have for your user, guess which one might be handling key presses, and then looking for documentation.  I haven't used unity/gnome in a while though, so I'm not sure.  It may even be cooked into the window manager or something which would make it more of a
[22:19] <dr_willis> gd515:  double click it.. drag drop onto firefox.. or use ff menus..
[22:19] <jrib> pain. Also, check if maybe the daemon just ends up using dbus somehow to communicate with the media players.  If such a thing exists, then you could just communicate through dbus yourself.
[22:19] <tudrom> zykotick: ok thats it - thanks for you help - but i dont understand why its not working with the gui programms
[22:19] <Offlein> jrib: Understood. I bet it's cooked into Unity or Compiz.
[22:19] <dr_willis> ff's add on page has a install from file item in
[22:20] <zykotick9> !tab | tudrom
[22:20] <jrib> Offlein: reading through http://wiki.videolan.org/DBus-spec might give some hints on the dbus front
[22:20] <Offlein> jrib: danke
[22:20] <shihan> anyone know how you disable ipv6 privacy extensions on 12.04?
[22:21] <gd515> ok i opened it and went to firefox folder and i draged the install.rdf onto firefox plugin window and it said it cant be installed it was currupted
[22:21] <Elvano> Hey guys, I know I've asked something simular before, but I have installed the Gnome3-shell on my Ubuntu 12.04. Can I remove the Unity-shell without ruining my ubuntu?
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> Elvano: the amount of space it uses is minimal, why not just leave it?
[22:23] <Elvano> I'm just curious, really.
[22:23] <nsaquatics> can the regular Ubuntu12.04LTS iso be used as a live CD?
[22:23] <dr_willis> Elvano:  just select the gnome-shell at the login screen and leave unity alone is the best way
[22:23] <iceroot> nsaquatics: yes
[22:23] <dr_willis> nsaquatics:  the desktop iso is a live cd.
[22:24] <jrib> Offlein: also, check out the mpris-remote package.  It may not be exactly how the media players are controlled now, but it may let you accomplish the same thing (control a bunch of media players in a uniform way (which is actually the goal of mpris))
[22:24] <Offlein> jrib: I think I may have it!
[22:24] <nsaquatics> iceroot, dr_willis thanks..
[22:24] <Offlein> jrib: I will look into that if not
[22:24] <daddyalvey> I can't seem to get unityshell to stop crashing.
[22:25] <Offlein> jrib: seemingly if I do this command: dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.clementine /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause specifically Clementine will play/pause. So I may be able to work with this
[22:25] <jrib> Offlein: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1797848 script for controlling dbus that may give additional hints
[22:25] <jrib> s/dbus/spotify
[22:25] <jrib> Offlein: ok, I will stop spamming you now :)
[22:25] <Offlein> jrib: .......Well this last script does 100% exactly what I wanted.
[22:25] <daddyalvey> I believe its subpar hardware but Im not sure
[22:26] <Offlein> I'm trying to control both Spotify -- which has no interface -- and everything else
[22:26] <Offlein> and so .. here we are.
[22:26] <Offlein> The new way I just figured is simpler, but this looks more elegant.
[22:26] <jrib> Offlein: I'd still check out mpris-remote though
[22:26] <gd515> Thanks Dr_willis that solved it
[22:27] <Offlein> it could be very edifying
[22:27] <gd515> thats a nice extension
[22:27] <Elvano> Thanks @ dr_willis, ActionParsnip
[22:28] <qaz> hi
[22:29] <gd515> hi qaz
[22:29] <daddyalvey> well that was helpful.
[22:30] <lorddelta> Greetings, I've just temporarily recovered from an internet outage problem. I don't know what cause the issue, but I suspect it has something to do with dnsmasq and bad configuration scripts. I'm leaving soon, but if anyone might know of a solution I can look into...I'll try updating packages etc obviously, but my solution involved passing a parameter by hand to dnsmasq inorder to get nslookup to work correctly. =/
[22:31] <lorddelta> Anyways I've got 465 MB of updates to download apparently, and somewhere to be in half an hour.
[22:31] <lorddelta> Guess I'll come back later
[22:31] <daddyalvey> lorddelta: good luck with that
[22:34] <Elvano> I'm having a real problem as well, when I run the update manager it says "Not all updates can be installed" and gives me th option of 'partially upgrade'. When I choose this he'll give me an error 'Could not calculate the upgrade'
[22:34] <gd515> is it necessary to run a firewall in ubuntu or a virus protector ?
[22:34] <tsimpson> gd515: short answer: no
[22:34] <Elvano> A firewall is always recommended, no?
[22:34] <Roastarded> ?DCC SEND "________________________________________________.exe" 0 0 0

[22:34] <gd515> i herd firestarter was good but wasnt sure
[22:34] <silverslimer> gd515, no
[22:35] <blackshirt> gd515, its depends on your need
[22:35] <gd515> Thanks
[22:35] <silverslimer> gd515, nothing is necessary but a firewall is always a good idea
[22:35] <silverslimer> anti-virus isn't
[22:35] <tsimpson> you only need a firewall when you have things that listen over the network. nothing that listens over the network is installed by default
[22:35] <tsimpson> *stuff that listens over the network that you don't want to be accessible from the outside
[22:36] <gd515> still trying to get the hang off dropping windows
[22:37] <blackshirt> gd515, make community as a friends would help you much
[22:39] <qaz> I havea debian server with a usb printer , I can print no problem from windows, debian and mac os x and in the last 2 I use  the dnssd but in ubuntu i need to use the http://ip:631/printers/myprinter .Is the dnssd bronken in 12.10?
[22:39] <onekstag> hi
[22:39] <gd515> i know when im installing something in ubuntu i use the apt-get install command but is there a way to search for the install script or is that something you have to know ? Like if i want to install TOR and i dont know the apt-get install for it can i use the terminal to find the name of its package its under . Hope that makes sense
[22:40] <jrib> !apt | gd515
[22:40] <qaz> @ gd515 apt-cache search
[22:40] <jrib> gd515: apt-cache search
[22:41] <gd515> thanks
[22:41] <blackshirt> hi onekstag
[22:42] <qaz> np
[22:43] <silverslimer> gd515, apt-cache search
[22:43] <silverslimer> oh whoops. excuse my lateness
[22:44] <gd515> ;-) that helps knowing that cuz i search for the apt off the net when i dont know it
[22:44] <qaz> anyone got problem with dnssd in 12.10?
[22:45] <WeThePeople> hi
[22:45] <blackshirt> WeThePeople: hi
[22:46] <gd515> ok well im heading out , thanks for the help and talk to you all later
[22:46] <Harlingen> Hey guys
[22:47] <nsaquatics> ok, so if my system won't boot from the live Cd I made (Ubuntu 12.04LTS ISO) can I format a harddisk, boot to it then repair the grup install on my mirror?
[22:47] <Harlingen> Is unbuntu worth it on a HP Mini?
[22:49] <silverslimer> nsquatics: if ubuntu doesn't boot the live cd, i get the impression ubuntu in general won't work on your system
[22:49] <Harlingen> Does anyone know what I'm saying here?
[22:49] <Harlingen> lol
[22:50] <i7c> Harlingen: naah, what do you mean "worth it" ?
[22:50] <silverslimer> harlingen: what are the specs on your hp mini?
[22:51] <jim__> hello, im having some issues with what apears to be compiz on a fresh install. X is not really useable at the moment, i was wondering if someone could help?
[22:51] <jenia> hello everyone. im using the find command as such:
[22:51] <jenia> find . -newer barrier.file
[22:51] <jenia> and barrier.file is this:
[22:52] <jenia> touch -t 09131700 barrier.file
[22:52] <dr_willis> Harlingen:  ubuntu works well on my 2 netbooks
[22:53] <drupin> i installed ubuntu on flash drive...
[22:53] <nsaquatics> silverslimer, it does work on my system, it's been running so far. I cloned the OS disk to a Mirror array and now I am trying to get to boot from it.
[22:53] <drupin> it just freezes to blank
[22:53] <drupin> after some time
[22:55] <silverslimer> nsaquatics so what are you trying to do then?
[22:55] <wilee-nilee> jim__, Can you use the 2d option in the login and update and check for any graphic references in additional drivers
[22:55] <silverslimer> aw nevermind
[22:56] <jim__> wilee-nilee: the current session is set to auto login, current prorietary drivers are updated
[22:56] <nsaquatics> silverslimer, was that nevermind geared at me? Customer brb.
[22:56] <jim__> wilee-nilee: is there a way i can get the apport log in a pastebin without X?
[22:57] <wilee-nilee> jim__, Ah, well that is about all about anything graphic, my stuff always just runs.
[22:57] <jim__> wilee-nilee: or a way to disable auto login via CLI?
[22:58] <tking> hi guys, if i hold ctrl key for some seconds and release i get an animation in round dangling around the pointer of my mouse on screen how do i stop it?
[23:00] <wilee-nilee> jim__, web link suggests gnome-session-quit http://askubuntu.com/questions/15795/how-can-you-log-out-via-the-terminal
[23:01] <jim__> wilee-nilee: thank you, cant exactly click a link atm though. ill give it a shot
[23:02] <drupin> i installed ubuntu on flash drive... it just freezes to blank after some time
[23:02] <tking> if i press control key for 4 seconds and release i see a round circle around the mouse pointer like this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46512205/Screenshot%20from%202012-09-13%2023%3A59%3A45.png
[23:02] <jim__> wilee-nilee: no luck... im gonna brb
[23:03] <bytesaber_work> how do i restart cinnomonbun on the commnd line (ctrl alt F2)
[23:03] <bytesaber_work> it's says can't find display
[23:03] <dr_willis> whats cinnomonbun ?
[23:03] <bytesaber_work> cinnamon
[23:03] <bytesaber_work> (whatever it's called0
[23:04] <bytesaber_work> i want to run "cinnamon --replace"
[23:04] <dr_willis> its your X desktop.. restart X... and its not really supported here. ;)
[23:04] <bytesaber_work> it's X that failed, not cinnamon?
[23:04] <dr_willis> No idea if it supports the --replace option
[23:04] <jim__> back, anyone able to help disabling auto login?
[23:04] <jim__> via command line
[23:04] <dr_willis> if X failed you wouldent be seeing anything except the login screen restarting
[23:04] <dr_willis> jim__:  its in the lightdm.conf file i belive
[23:04] <jrib> jim__: I guess check ~/.dmrc and /etc/lightdm/*
[23:04] <bytesaber_work> i can see everytong.  mouse moves and all.   just can't click on anything
[23:05] <jim__> ty, checking now
[23:05] <dr_willis> bytesaber_work:  easiest would be to log out/restart X   'sudo service lightdm restart'
[23:05] <jrib> jim__: it's probably in the file dr_willis pointed out
[23:05] <bytesaber_work> but i don't wanna lose my save
[23:05] <bytesaber_work> normally when cinnomon hangs, i just press ALT F2
[23:05] <bytesaber_work> and it goes back
[23:05] <nsaquatics> ok, back
[23:05] <dr_willis> bytesaber_work:   you could  just try running 'metacity' via alt-f2
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> cinamomon isn't supported here
[23:06] <dr_willis> we dont know about cinnimon since its not an ubuntu app
[23:06] <bytesaber_work> ok
[23:06] <dr_willis> jim__:  my normal lightdm.conf -->  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1203705/
[23:07] <nsaquatics> so it boots to the old harddrive but not the new so I was wondering why I can't just tell the old system (/dev/sda) to install the MBR and Grub onto the Mirror (/dev/sdb).
[23:07] <jim__> dr_willis: i appreciate that, but im in tmux and irssi atm due to lack us x usability... im reading the file right now
[23:07] <jamie_> help
[23:07] <dr_willis> jim__:  lynx works as a browser. in text mode. ;)
[23:07] <jamie_> i need halp
[23:08] <jrib> jamie_: we can only try to help you if you ask a question
[23:08] <jamie_> how do i find the inf file for my driver?
[23:08] <jim__> dr_willis: should it be "autologin-user=false" as oppsed to "=<username>"?
[23:08] <jrib> jamie_: what are you trying to accomplish?
[23:08] <jamie_> get my wireless working
[23:09] <dr_willis> jim__:  i imagine you can set it to false or just remove the line. I dont have the line in my config
[23:09] <jrib> !wireless | jamie_
[23:09] <jim__> dr_willis: ty, ill try commenting it out
[23:09]  * jrib wonders what happens if his username is "false"
[23:09] <jamie_> Guide didn't work, it told me to find the driver which I couldn't do
[23:09] <jamie_> I downloaded one from realtek but there's no inf file
[23:10] <jim__> dr_willis: gonna give her a reboot, be back soon
[23:11] <dr_willis> jrib:  i recall a bug in earlier ubuntu installers that let you make a user named 'root' ;)
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> jrib: haha
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> jamie_: what wifi chip are you using?
[23:11] <jrib> dr_willis: ha, hadn't seen that one
[23:11] <jamie_> Realtek 8723e
[23:11] <Dice-Man> ActionParsnip: hi
[23:12] <Dice-Man> ActionParsnip: how to activate sound before login screen
[23:12] <Dice-Man> ?
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> Dice-Man: that is default, pulse has already started
[23:13] <dr_willis> Dice-Man:  ive noticed i dont have any login sounds  or any sounds untill i login either. :) I consider that a feature.
[23:13] <jim__> dr_willis: that did work, I am now in unity2D
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> jamie_: can you run:  sudo lshw -C network    and give the product line of the wifi adapter please
[23:13] <dr_willis> somthing to do with me using HDMI, i noticed i do get sound when not using hdmi audio
[23:13] <jim__> dr_willis: i'm going to try to make sense of the compiz crash now
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> jamie_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2017622&highlight=8723&page=3  maybe..
[23:14] <jamie_> I don't understand any of that
[23:15] <jamie_> It says it's unclaimed and by Realtek\
[23:15] <jim__> anyone have an idea how to fix this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1203715/
[23:16] <dr_willis> jim__:  looks to me like those lines just say. 'its compiz that crashed'
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> jim__: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[23:17] <jim__> ActionParsnip: precise
[23:17] <jim__> dr_willis: i got that far :P
[23:17] <jamie_> ActionParsnip_: I found the file from realtek that is supposed to contain the driver but there's just a bunch of .h and .c files in it
[23:17] <dr_willis> thats all it says jim__  any actual error messages would be somewhere else i imagine
[23:18] <jim__> ah, loading the crash report
[23:19] <jenia> hello when i use find with -regex it doesnt work as i expect it to
[23:19] <jrib> jenia: ok
[23:19] <jenia> for example find . -regex "[a-z]*"
[23:19] <jenia> should probably return files like hello.txt
[23:20] <jenia> and so on
[23:20] <jenia> why doesnt it work
[23:20] <jamie_> Can anyone halp me?
[23:20] <jamie_> with wireless driver issues?
[23:20] <jrib> jenia: the . I guess
[23:21] <lotuspsychje> jamie_:describe your problem please
[23:21] <jenia> i mean this:
[23:21] <jenia> for example find . -regex "[a-z].*"
[23:21] <jenia> this mean any letter followed by anything
[23:22] <jamie_> lotuspsychje: I can't find the inf file needed to use with Windows Wireless Drivers
[23:22] <jenia> now i have a file called hello.txt there
[23:22] <jenia> and it normally should be returned
[23:22] <lotuspsychje> jamie_:this is an ubuntu support channel here
[23:22] <jrib> jenia: there are two things I think you don't understand.  One you need to match the ./ (find will match against the whole path I believe) and 2) [a-z]* will not match .txt because it doesn't match '.'
[23:22] <lotuspsychje> jamie_:join ##windows
[23:22] <jamie_> lotuspsychje: I know, I am on ubuntu
[23:23] <qa_> Cannot umount . Please help
[23:23] <jamie_> lotuspsychje: Wireless is fine on windows but right now on Ubuntu it does not work
[23:23] <jamie_> lotuspsychje: the only files in the folder for Realtek 8723e are .h and .c
[23:23] <dr_willis> [0-9a-z_]   or  \w    Matches any alphanumeric character including underscore
[23:23] <jenia> find . -regex "[a-z].*"
[23:23] <magicalChicken> jamie_: you need to compile the driver
[23:23] <lotuspsychje> jamie_:did you download the linux drivers from realek website?
[23:23] <jrib> jenia: why do you keep repeating that?
[23:24] <qa_> root@Dell-R210:/# umount <IP_ADDRESS>:/SHARE1
[23:24] <qa_> umount: cannot umount <IP_ADDRESS>:/SHARE1 -- <IP_ADDRESS>:/SHARE1 is mounted over it on the same point.
[23:24] <jenia> because i've put a .* there
[23:24] <jenia> it will match anything
[23:24] <jrib> jenia: you're still not matching the initial "./"
[23:24] <the8thbit> In Transmission, is it possible to kick peers that aren't uploading at a certain speed, either manually or automatically?
[23:24] <jamie_> I have the folder which contains the drivers for other chips including mine, so yes
[23:24] <jamie_> lotuspsychje: how do i compile it?
[23:24] <jenia> haha
[23:24] <jenia> thanks
[23:24] <lotuspsychje> the8thbit:set upload speed to 0
[23:24] <jenia> highly appriciated, but -name doesnt work like that i think
[23:24] <dr_willis> wow - find has some fancy features. ;)
[23:25] <dr_willis> find -regextype posix-extended -regex '.*[1234567890]'
[23:25] <jrib> jenia: right.  But see the man page, it gives some examples about using regex
[23:25] <battlehands> how do I uninstall matlab from my computer?
[23:25] <the8thbit> lotuspsychje: Why would that help me?
[23:25] <dr_willis> battlehands:  how did you install it?
[23:25] <lotuspsychje> the8thbit:after the torrent completed it wont upload (with speed 0)
[23:26] <jrib> dr_willis: I'd really love to see the revision history of some of these core programs with a million features (like find)
[23:26] <lotuspsychje> jamie_:maybe magicalChicken can help you?
[23:26] <jamie_> lotuspsychje: Where is this person?
[23:26] <the8thbit> lotuspsychje: That's not what I want to do, though. I want to only connect to peers that ARE uploading, and are uploading at a certain minimum speed (say, 10 kbps, not that much, but something)
[23:26] <battlehands> dr_willis: through terminal using the dvd.  However, I screwed up the directories and just want to uninstall and reinstall.
[23:27] <warddr> Hello all, I've got a strange problem, I just installed my laptop and everything works fine, except my wireless network doesn't work. If I, however, run sudo iwlist scan I can see all wireless networks in the neightbourhood. Anyone any idea?
[23:27] <dr_willis> battlehands:  then you should check its docs and see if whatever installer app you used 'trough the terminal' has an uninstall feature
[23:27] <WeThePeople> the8thbit, see #trnasmission
[23:27] <jamie_> magicalChicken: how to compile driver?
[23:27] <WeThePeople> #transmission*
[23:27] <the8thbit> WeThePeople: Thanks, I asked in there as well. :)
[23:27] <warddr> so the problem is I don't see them in the network-manager
[23:28] <battlehands> dr_willis: I just used ./install_matlab.sh, but there is no uninstall file to be found
[23:28] <lotuspsychje> the8thbit:so you mean you want to download yourself only to seeding peers?
[23:28] <the8thbit> lotuspsychje: I don't mind downloading from leachers as well, as long as they're throwing something back up
[23:28] <the8thbit> but yeah, essentially
[23:29] <the8thbit> Im essentially saying that I only want to seed to people who are also seeding back
[23:29] <lotuspsychje> the8thbit:not sure thats possible as the peers are random
[23:29] <dr_willis> battlehands:  its a bit beyond the scope of this channels support. the matlab docs/faq/forums most liikely say how to Uninstall it.. or the installer may even have the option
[23:29] <lotuspsychje> the8thbit:you can click the torrent asking for more peers, but i dont think it will choose only seeding ones
[23:29] <the8thbit> lotuspsychje: Yes, but after I acquire them I can see their up/down speed, right? I just dont know how to kick them
[23:29] <the8thbit> lotuspsychje: yeah, I know about that
[23:30] <lotuspsychje> the8thbit:i think your best bet is grab newest torrents that go fast
[23:32] <warddr> Hello all, I've got a strange problem, I just installed my laptop and everything works fine, except my wireless network doesn't show up in network-manager. If I, however, run sudo iwlist scan I can see all wireless networks in the neightbourhood. Anyone any idea?
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> warddr: if you use a wired connection and get fully updated, does it help
[23:32] <warddr> ActionParsnip, I did that, there were no updates to be installed (installed them during the installation)
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> warddr: what wifi chip do you use?
[23:33] <silverslimer> (if they installed during the install, the wifi clearly worked)
[23:33] <warddr> some intel chip, I have used it with ubutnu before
[23:34] <warddr> and indeed, it is working
[23:34] <silverslimer> did you install more than once with the same result every time?
[23:34] <jamie_> ActionParsnip: how do I compile a driver
[23:35] <abhinavmehta> I've a folder named 'xyz', trying to make a tar…so I did: $ tar -cvzf myTar.tar xyz/.….and got the myTar.tar………….but now if I do $tar -zxvf myTar.tar, it returns folder named "xyz 2"…why???
[23:35] <abhinavmehta> there is no folder named xyz in the tar directory.
[23:35] <warddr> silverslimer, I had a running installation, now bought an SSD and installed again. With the other disk it is still working.
[23:36] <warddr> and even using commandline I can scan for networks just fine
[23:36] <abhinavmehta> or better, before untar-operation I manually removed(rm -rf) xyz-folder.
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> jamie_: the link I gave tells you
[23:38] <fn0rd> I have a multi-monitor set up. Using unity on 12.01 here. When I draw a window to the top of the left monitor, presumably to maximize it, it maximizes into the right monitor instead.
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> warddr: can you run:  sudo lshw -C network    and tell us the chip please
[23:39] <fn0rd> How can I change the behavior so it maximizes into the monitor I intended?
[23:39] <lotuspsychje> warddr:what ssd brand on wich ubuntu version?
[23:39] <bazhang> fn0rd, 12.04 or 12.10
[23:39] <fn0rd> oh wait
[23:39] <fn0rd> 12.04
[23:40]  * fn0rd checked lsb-release
[23:40] <fn0rd> s/draw/drag/

[23:41] <warddr> lotuspsychje, kingston V-series 64GB, ActionParsnip: Centrino Advanced-N 6205
[23:41] <lotuspsychje> warddr:happy with ubuntu boot speeds on kingston?
[23:41] <fn0rd> The weird part is, the window outline is drawn on the appropriate screen.
[23:41] <qa_> hi
[23:41] <fn0rd> He maximize however, happens on the wrong screen.
[23:42] <warddr> lotuspsychje, It's quite ok
[23:42] <warddr> but I am only testing it for a couple of hours
[23:42] <jamie_> ActionParsnip: I keep getting "E: unable to locate package linux-headers-uname -r"
[23:42] <warddr> *i've only been
[23:42] <fn0rd> Of course, until I've maximized one on the other monitor. Weird.
[23:42] <dr_willis> jamie_:  i think you are misstyping the line, missing some ` (backticks)
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> warddr: using the iwlagn driver?
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> jamie_: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[23:45] <fn0rd> ah ha, but when I use a keybinding, via compiz config settings manager
[23:45] <fn0rd> it maximizes to the appropriate screen
[23:45] <jamie_> ActionParsnip: I got that to work but "cd ~/realtek/etc...." doesn't work
[23:45] <warddr> ActionParsnip, I fixed it, found on some forum to edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf  , changed managed to true
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> warddr: nice :)
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> jamie_: did you download the source package?
[23:46] <jamie_> ActionParsnip: Yes, it's in archive manager
[23:47] <fn0rd> omg
[23:48] <fn0rd> try this:ctrl + super + alt + <numpad keys>
[23:48] <fn0rd> in unity
[23:48] <fn0rd> :)
[23:51] <nydel> dr_willis: fyi, the only solution i found to meta package removal is to search http://packages.ubuntu.com & remove them manually.
[23:52] <bazhang> nydel, there's also the purexfce etc links
[23:52] <bazhang> !purexfce | nydel
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> jamie_: you'll need to extract it to where you can work with the files
[23:55] <nydel> bazhang: thanks i was not aware of these. i am trying to remove the meta package ubuntustudio-audio
[23:55] <battlehands> I would like to get an icon/shortcut for matlab for lubuntu.  I followed the steps on the website and It got an icon, but the icon is for 2011, not 2010, and doesn't work
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: copy one of the desktop files from ~/.config/autostart   and modify it to how you want
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: you can modify the lines to run the command as well as the other details
[23:57] <Presonus_Probs> Hi roomies :) first time user here, sorry if im in the wrong channel, I'm trying to find support for firewire with UbuntuStudio, already asked #UbuntuStudio with no love
