[15:30] <cant-install-ubu> Hi guys. I have the following question. I am currently running a Sony Vaio 13.3 ultrabook (http://store.sony.com/laptop/Custom-Sony-VAIO-Ultrabook-13.3-T-Series/SVT131190X-Standard/en/vaio/8198552921666454150) which has two hidden drives - a HDD and 32GB SSD. For some reason, not a single OS can recognize them during installation, although I've successfully mounted and formatted them.
[15:30] <|Anthony|> and in cheese there is no capture device and all options are grayed out
[15:30] <dr_willis>  ngt dirty thing to try. make a link from sh to the one it wants..
[15:30] <rumpe1> |Anthony|, again just a warning. Linux applications are often somewhat "chatty" if you launch them from terminal.
[15:30] <Cajun_Lan_Man> blazemore, compiz is clearly the culprit. Just not sure why the change.
[15:31] <blazemore> Cajun_Lan_Man: They discontinued Unity 2D, it might be something to do with that
[15:31] <|Anthony|> rumpe1, yes, but there it isn't working. which is why i launched it from terminal... to see what it was complaining about.
[15:32] <cant-install-ubu> Hi guys. I have the following question. I am currently running a Sony Vaio 13.3 ultrabook (http://store.sony.com/laptop/Custom-Sony-VAIO-Ultrabook-13.3-T-Series/SVT131190X-Standard/en/vaio/8198552921666454150) which has two hidden drives - a HDD and 32GB SSD.

[15:32] <kristenbb> I just installed a new system. If I want to retrieve my whole firefox settings (add ons, icon location, history, bookmarks, about:config, ...), do I just need to delete the current .mozilla and copy the .mozilla folder from the old system to the  new one, or do I need to do something else, or will that not work ?
[15:33] <cant-install-ubu> Is there a way to install Ubuntu on any of those drives? I believe they're locked in the EFI bios
[15:33] <cri> lookin for someone who knows lubuntu 1210
[15:33] <dr_willis> kristenbb: ive done that beforr. keep a spare copy of the original directory also
[15:33] <shadab> Ya tel me
[15:34] <kristenbb> dr_willis: so that will work?
[15:34] <ngt> dr_willis: i am quite a newbie on ubuntu so i am not following by what you exactly mean?
[15:34] <smooh> hello
[15:34] <kristenbb> dr_willis: why should I keep a spare of the original directory ?
[15:34] <dr_willis> kristenbb: it has in the past.
[15:34] <dr_willis> ff has a sync feature i use these days.
[15:34] <smooh> need a channel for noobs like me so i ask questions
[15:34] <cri> not found a guide (italian!) to personalize desktop like simple shoutdown on panel and other
[15:35] <dr_willis> in case ff resets somthing kristenbb
[15:35] <Erik_D> smooh: this is the channel, just ask
[15:35] <Linkandzelda> does anyone know of a Quick Look like thing for ubuntu/linux?
[15:36] <dr_willis> quicklook does what Linkandzelda
[15:36] <Linkandzelda> there's a built in thing?
[15:36] <Linkandzelda> o-o
[15:37] <piecemkr> hello people
[15:37] <cant-install-ubu> So, I take it no one has the knowledge how to install the damn thing on hidden drives...
[15:37] <smooh> hello guys
[15:37] <cant-install-ubu> I thought everyone is a genius here
[15:37] <dr_willis> cant-install-ubu: i dont see how they are hidden..
[15:37] <dr_willis> uf yiu can mount them...
[15:38] <smooh> do any of u guys knows how to expand the hard disk of a virtual machine in ubuntu?
[15:38] <cant-install-ubu> well, they are hidden
[15:38] <vaurdan> Anyone knows ho to solve this? https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzFNC7jET0aib21zMkRiem05QnM :(
[15:38] <cant-install-ubu> i ican mount them, they are mounted alright
[15:38] <cant-install-ubu> just the GUI install app cant see them ?!?!
[15:38] <dr_willis> smooh: vbox and vmware i recall have tools to do that..
[15:38] <cant-install-ubu> it is crazy
[15:38] <jonjo> anyone able to help with virsh networking on ubuntu 12.04?
[15:39] <dr_willis> cant-install-ubu:  that dosent  mean they are 'hidden'
[15:39] <cant-install-ubu> EFI controlled at all times then, I dont know
[15:40] <vaurdan> Anyone knows how to solve this? https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzFNC7jET0aib21zMkRiem05QnM :(
[15:40] <cant-install-ubu> never seen such thing before
[15:40] <dr_willis> cant-install-ubu:  seen people in here with similer issues all the time. but in most cases its b3cause they got 4 primary partitons allready
[15:40] <cant-install-ubu> dr_willis, the only way I could mount them was via Terminal. GUI file manager failed crying for lack of privilege or something
[15:41] <smooh> dr willis: i use virtual box and im kinda stuck
[15:41] <Erik_D> vaurdan: what does the text mean?
[15:41] <vaurdan> Erik_D it's my language(Portuguese). The problem is the Ambiance style of my menus
[15:41] <dr_willis> cant-install-ubu:  what device does mount/fdisk say they are?
[15:41] <vaurdan> even the damn application menus are like that
[15:41] <piecemkr> cant-install-ubu: gksu nautilus
[15:42] <cant-install-ubu> what is gksu nautilus
[15:42] <Erik_D> vaurdan: Hmm, have you tried messing with themes? That's all that comes to mind.
[15:42] <dr_willis> runs nautilus as root...
[15:42] <vaurdan> yes, every single theme I've on my computer have the same menu's issue :(
[15:42] <cant-install-ubu> drives are formatted, so no partitions there
[15:42] <Cantide> gk is used for graphical applications, right?
[15:43] <dr_willis> err.. if they are formated they are partioned...
[15:43] <Erik_D> cant-install-ubu:  gksu is a graphical "sudo"
[15:43] <dr_willis> pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l   may help us
[15:43] <Erik_D> vaurdan: never seen that :/
[15:43] <theos> hello! i ran xoscope and now my headphones arent working. laptop speakers are working fine. what can be the problem?
[15:44] <vaurdan> Erik_D, Yup, is it very weird :( I'm now backing up everything and getting ready for a reinstall...
[15:44] <Erik_D> vaurdan: try reinstalling your display manager before taking the nuclear route
[15:44] <dr_willis> vaurdan:  even a newly made user has the same issue?
[15:45] <cant-install-ubu> Nautilus could not create the required folder "/root/.config/nautilus"
[15:45] <cant-install-ubu> some kind of permissions issue
[15:45] <vaurdan> Erik_D, how can I do that?
[15:45] <vaurdan> dr_willis, going to try that
[15:45] <robbie> can someone help me with an indicator? only this one indicator is broken -- see this image http://imgur.com/UrwKb
[15:45] <dr_willis> cant-install-ubu:  pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l   may help us
[15:45] <Erik_D> vaurdan: are you using gnome?
[15:45] <k1l> cant-install-ubu: because the user-nautilus hastn permissions in /
[15:45] <Erik_D> unity?
[15:46] <k1l> cant-install-ubu: wait, you are running a root-xsession?
[15:46] <vaurdan> Erik_D right now I'm on Unity, but I use gnome on my daily usage
[15:46] <cant-install-ubu> I am running a live USB
[15:46] <vaurdan> dr_willis, but I guess it's not a user related problem... LightDM also have that glitch
[15:46] <dr_willis> vaurdan:  that would point to a system type issue yes...
[15:47] <piecemkr> cant-install-ubu: sudo mkdir /root/.config/nautilus
[15:47] <Erik_D> vaurdan: I think : sudo apt-get remove --purge gdm & sudo apt-get install gdm
[15:47] <Erik_D> would do it?
[15:47] <vaurdan> I'm also suffering the problem that robbie told (<robbie> can someone help me with an indicator? only this one indicator is broken -- see this image http://imgur.com/UrwKb)
[15:48] <vaurdan> Erik_D, i'm going to try that :)
[15:48] <cant-install-ubu> how do i select and copy terminal?
[15:48] <Erik_D> vaurdan: Please use common sense, I could be wrong
[15:48] <Erik_D> ctrl-shift-c/v
[15:48] <tomatto> hi
[15:48] <tomatto> please, in main repositories is not midnight commander?
[15:48] <Erik_D> cant-install-ubu: ^
[15:49] <blazemore> !info mc| tomatto
[15:49] <rephy222> blazemore: im not quite sure what the .py script does
[15:49] <blazemore> wait what how do I do package stuff
[15:49] <blazemore> rephy222: Sorry was that intended for me?
[15:49] <blazemore> !package mc
[15:50] <rephy222> blazemore: yea about the dns server thing...the link u sent me led me to a python script to use wildcards with the hosts file i think
[15:50] <OerHeks> !info mc
[15:50] <Cajun_Lan_Man> blazemore, you know, it might be.  More resources needed for the 3D.  Especially if it's being software rendered.
[15:50] <blazemore> rephy222: Oh IDK how to actually use it
[15:51] <blazemore> Cajun_Lan_Man: Yeah, if it's software rendering it will probably be sluggish
[15:51] <Cajun_Lan_Man> blazemore, any idea if there is a way to tell if Unity is being software or hardware rendered?
[15:51] <OerHeks> tomatto, sudo apt-get install mc
[15:51] <D4v1d___> hi any idea how to change from UEFI boot to BIOS boot on ubuntu server?
[15:51] <tomatto> OerHeks: it isn't install mc at all
[15:51] <cant-install-ubu> http://pastebin.com/jDJbhGsV
[15:51] <blazemore> Cajun_Lan_Man: Good question! I'm opening it to the floor. Does anyone know if you can tell if the graphics hardware is drawing unity?
[15:51] <MonkeyDust> D4v1d___  there's also #ubuntu-server
[15:51] <rephy222> it was a good link i believe it may help im just a little unsure what it does and a little leary to use something i dont know how it works
[15:51] <cant-install-ubu> dr_willis, Erik_D - http://pastebin.com/jDJbhGsV
[15:52] <deadmund> blazemore: Are you seeing unity?
[15:52] <blazemore> deadmund: No, I'm not using Ubuntu. What that intended for me?
[15:53] <deadmund> blazemore: Does anyone know if you can tell if the graphics hardware is drawing unity?    in response to that question
[15:53] <Cajun_Lan_Man> deadmund, It was from a question I asked. I'm trying to find out if my install of 12.10 is using software rendering, or HW.
[15:53] <D4v1d___> thanks rephy222
[15:53] <deadmund> Cajun_Lan_Man: ohhh!  No, I'm not sure.
[15:54] <deadmund> Cajun_Lan_Man: What graphics card / driver?
 and i dont know how to expand the hard drive of the virtual machine without loosing the OS
[15:54] <Cajun_Lan_Man> deadmund, 12.10 is using twice the memory footprint, and feels sluggish after upgrading to 12.10, and I'm just trying to find out why.
[15:54] <fagioli> omg
[15:54] <fagioli> i jusy bought logitech t650
[15:54] <deadmund> Cajun_Lan_Man: Are you using radeon?
[15:54] <fagioli> works soooooo good in ubuntu
[15:55] <Cajun_Lan_Man> deadmund, This particular machine is a VMware VM. It suppored 3D hardware on 12.04, but that doesn't mean it's working in 12.10.
[15:55] <rephy222> D4v1d___  for?
[15:55] <Erik_D> That's *wonderful* fagioli
[15:55] <deadmund> Cajun_Lan_Man: I'm not sure then.
[15:55] <fagioli> Erik_D, lol
[15:55] <deadmund> Cajun_Lan_Man: Bit of a special case
[15:55] <fagioli> i just want people to know it works with multitouch
[15:55] <bekks> Cajun_Lan_Man: Twice the memory footprint is not true.
[15:55] <bekks> Cajun_Lan_Man: Not at all, to be honest.
[15:56] <Erik_D> fagioli: I'm actually a little surprised though, what with all the "it's for win 8!"
[15:56] <bekks> Besides the fact that RAM is there to be used, not to be left alone.
[15:56] <fagioli> Erik_D, in gnome 3, 3 finger swipe up is amazinf
[15:57] <fagioli> its going to change the way i usr the computer
[15:57] <Erik_D> fagioli: I have  tablet pc, unfortunately gnome 3 wasn't working that well, so I switched to xfce
[15:57] <Erik_D> kinda useless for touch
[15:57] <food> Hello there is no linux_headers_all.deb on http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6.5-raring/ ?
[15:57] <Cajun_Lan_Man> bekks,  What I mean is, I have 1 gig of ram allocated. Normally after a clean boot, 12.04 would be using about 350 megs of ram.  Now with 12.10, after a clean boot it's sitting on about 700 megs. That, combined with the fact that the machine is no longer "snappy" as it was with 12.04, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.
[15:58] <OerHeks> food, join #ubuntu+1 for raring issues
[15:58] <area51> i set an NTFS partition to mount on startup and now its read-only .. how can i change the permissions to gain write access.  ROOT is currently the owner
[15:58] <cant-install-ubu> dr_willis, Erik_D - no luck again? Thank you for your time at least.
[15:58] <Cajun_Lan_Man> deadmund, It is a special case.  I'm upgrading a physical desktop install to 12.10 now, and I will see if it feels much snappier. Integrated Intel graphics on it, but only a couple of years old.
[15:58] <food> OerHeks, I am trying to install it on Ubuntu 12.04
[15:58] <fagioli> why is there so many problems with kernel 3.6.4 and 3.6.5?
[15:59] <OerHeks> food don't mix raring and quantal kernels.
[15:59] <food> Okay okay
[15:59] <nhanth91> hi
[15:59] <food> OerHeks, I am having same problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/203465/ubuntu-12-04-12-10-keeps-on-freezing , So trying to fix it somehow .
[16:00] <dr_willis> cant-install-ubu: all your hds are partioned with fat32 or ntfd.. id delete the partions on the hds you want to use and leave them unallocated, then reboot the installer
[16:00] <Cajun_Lan_Man> deadmund, See, after a fresh boot of 12.10 on the physical desktop, it's only sitting on 400 megs of ram.  That's making me wonder if it's hardware accelerated, verses software rendering on the VM.
[16:01] <cant-install-ubu> dr_willis, already tried that but without reboot
[16:01] <blazemore> area51: /dev/sda2 /win7 ntfs-3g defaults,user,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022 0 0
[16:02] <dr_willis> cant-install-ubu: then the system may have been using the old partition layout still...
[16:02] <cant-install-ubu> ok, will try it now
[16:03] <Cajun_Lan_Man> blazemore, I just found a place in VMware Workstation that shows me hardware accelerated graphics are NOT being used any more.  That answers my question.
[16:03] <food> OerHeks, Is it safe to compile the source from kernel.org?
[16:04] <area51> blazemore: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1323935/   its the /media/sda3 partition
[16:04] <pqatsi> Someone got slowdown with Radeon 200M with new ubuntu quantal?
[16:04] <pqatsi> I got this issue (Terrible slowdown in composition plus high cpu usage) using Unity and even cinnamon. I have a Radeon 200M
[16:05] <pqatsi> But if i ran a gnome-terminal and inside it i open metacity, everything backs to normal.
[16:05] <pqatsi> But Xorg.0.log dont report any error
[16:05] <pqatsi> Someone have idea how i can report this?
[16:09] <area51> blazemore:  should ( /media/Data  ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,ro,umask=000    0  0 ) nls=iso8859-1,ro be replaced with utf8?
[16:10] <danielefire> ciao
[16:10] <danielefire> !list
[16:13] <Cajun_Lan_Man> deadmund, blazemore, Problem solved.  After re-enabling HW rendering on the VM, my CPU usage at idle is back down in the single digits, memory usage is back down, and Ubuntu is quite snappy again.  This did teach me one thing.  Software rendered Unity 3D is a bit of a pig. Something I will try my best to avoid.
[16:13] <cant-install-ubu> dr_willis, well, that didn't work either :)
[16:13] <deadmund> Cajun_Lan_Man: awesome! :)
[16:13] <cant-install-ubu> now, they're unallocated, yet installer can't see them :(
[16:13] <deadmund> Cajun_Lan_Man: I didn't think there'd be a GUI checkbox for that
[16:15] <Cajun_Lan_Man> The setting is in VMware Workstation, under the display options.  It was set to "automatically detect" for video hardware acceleration. Apparently something about 12.10 had turned it off.  I just set it to manual, turned it on, and voilà.
[16:15] <Cajun_Lan_Man> deadmund, thanks for the help though.
[16:15] <deadmund> Cajun_Lan_Man: sure
[16:18] <blazemore> How can I echo on bash without newline
[16:18] <cant-install-ubu> dr_willis, you know what else is interesting, even Windows 8 can't see those drives during installation. Damn...
[16:20] <robbie> can someone help me with an indicator? only this one indicator is broken -- see this image http://imgur.com/UrwKb
[16:23] <robbie> is no one here?
[16:24] <blazemore> Yes, but nobody knows the answer to your question
[16:24] <robbie> it was just a very strange quiet

[16:47] <meegooo> my ubuntu server doesn't allow to ssh to it !!?
[16:48] <email9541> ????
[16:48] <meegooo> it says wrong password,
[16:48] <blazemore> email9541: Try #android
[16:48] <blazemore> email9541: Instead of #ubuntu
[16:48] <meegooo> please try again
[16:48] <email9541> Thx
[16:48] <blazemore> meegooo: What command are you running to ssh into it? The syntax is "ssh username@server"
[16:48] <meegooo> blazemore:  ssh mtnm@myip
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> meegooo  be sure caps is not set or so
[16:48] <blazemore> meegooo: If you don't specify a username it will try to log in with the same username you're currently using
[16:49] <blazemore> meegooo: And there is definitely an "mtnm" user on that server?
[16:49] <meegooo> blazemore:  yes
[16:49] <meegooo> blazemore: the server is beside me
[16:49] <meegooo> blazemore:  i've logged in
[16:49] <BluesKaj> fotographix, you enable the pci card in the bios , usually if you choose auto the pci nvidia card will become default , but choose pci in case auto doesn't work
[16:50] <blazemore> meegooo: Can you try "ssh -v<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and paste the output into http://paste.timico.net
[16:50] <blazemore> or whatever the IP is
[16:51] <fotographix> wow thanks for the reply BluesKaj, I'm on my last leg, figured i would try IRC 1st time :( hate to say it, No I disabled it in BIOS and set it to PCI, which PCI is the new card, but it loads up and the onborad is still default and the new card is seen by NVIDIAsettings but is set to GPU1, XSCREENS=NONE
[16:51] <meegooo> blazemore:  let me try
[16:52] <fotographix> no auto option, only {Onborad, PCI PCIe}
[16:53] <[TiZ]> Hi. I can't select text in any way at all in pure GTK applications. Click/drag, shift+arrow, even ctrl+a, none of them work. What do I do to fix this? This is on my work box, and it completely cripples my ability to use my computer.
[16:55] <ttafred> guys im trying to build wine from source, im trying to dpendencies i need to know which should i go for, 1.5, 1.5-dev, 1.5-dbg, or 1.5-i386
[16:55] <blazemore> [TiZ]: Do you mean from a text field?
[16:55] <blazemore> ttafred: -dev
[16:55] <ttafred> from terminal
[16:56] <ttafred> blazemore why shoud i go for -dev, i think that means developer
[16:56] <f00dMonsta> if youre building, you need the dev packages
[16:56] <meegooo> blazemore:  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1324071/
[16:56] <[TiZ]> blazemore: Yes, any kind of text field at all. Gedit, Zim, even the input box in XChat here.
[16:57] <ttafred> ok thanks i go do that now
[16:57] <Linkandzelda> is it recommended/ok to install and run Ubuntu from a USD external hdd?
[16:58] <cuore> hey  i just desactivated the unity panel from compiz-manager !! how can i get it back ?! the compiz-manager window is closed !
[16:58] <blazemore> Linkandzelda: It'll be slow
[16:58] <blazemore> cuore: Use control-alt-t to open a terminal
[16:58] <blazemore> cuore: Once you have a terminal open you can run compizconfig-settings-manager
[16:58] <blazemore> (I think it's ctrl+alt+t)
[16:58] <Linkandzelda> i dont want to erase my mac setup that i have, was just thinking of quicker soutions lol
[16:58] <tottto-drummond> Hello all. I need help with my wi-fi usb adaptor
[16:58] <BluesKaj> fotographix, ok run   in the terminal and look for the lines, renderer string and version string: .. that's your card and driver
[16:59] <BluesKaj> fotographix,  glxinfo | grep OpenGL
[17:00] <moondoggy> Hi there.  Anyone seen a pop-up saying "problem detected with program.  Enter password to report problem," or similar?
[17:00] <tottto-drummond> I need to get a Belkin wifi usb adaptor working with Ubuntu 12.10 can someone help me ?
[17:00] <cuore> b lazemore: it say compizconfig-manager : command not found
[17:00] <moondoggy> I'm suspicious that it's a virus.
[17:00] <blazemore> moondoggy: Yes when an application crashes, you can choose to submit a bug report. The password is needed to access system files which provide information to make the bug report more useful
[17:00] <blazemore> moondoggy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport
[17:01] <fotographix> OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation

[17:01] <FloodBot1> fotographix: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:01] <fotographix> this is the onboard card the new card shows in Nvidia settings as GPU1=GeForce 9400 GT I'm hoping this will be reflected
[17:01] <moondoggy> blazemore, thanks.  I never needed a password on other OS's.
[17:01] <blazemore> cuore: Once you have a terminal open you can run compizconfig-settings-manager
[17:01] <blazemore> moondoggy: I know, they're terrible aren't they
[17:01] <fotographix> sorry!
[17:01] <moondoggy> Also, the punctuation was weird like in all those emails from Nigeria.  :)
[17:01] <trism> cuore: the command name is ccsm, the package is compizconfig-settings-manager
[17:01] <blazemore> Is it?
[17:01] <lahwran> what's the best way to install proprietary ATI drivers? preferably a way where they're reasonably easy to uninstall
[17:01] <blazemore> trism: I'm sorry cuore - I thought it was the other way around
[17:02] <blazemore> lahwran: Using "jockey" the built-in driver tool in Ubuntu
[17:02] <PK> Hi.
[17:02] <lahwran> blazemore: is that going to install an up-to-date version?
[17:02] <blazemore> PK Hi. Nice nick
[17:02] <lahwran> that's always my worry using driver tools like that
[17:02] <blazemore> lahwran: probably. What's the result of "sudo apt-cache search fglrx" ?
[17:02] <PK> Thanks, those are just my initials. ;)
[17:02] <blazemore> !paste | lahwran
[17:02] <cuore> blazemore: trism   thanks a lot for your help
[17:02] <lahwran> I know how to paste, you don't have to jump on me like that :|
[17:03] <lahwran> however, it's on a different computer
[17:03] <PK> Is there a good way to learn PyGTK used for making Ubuntu apps?
[17:03] <blazemore> PK http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/index.html
[17:04] <lahwran> blazemore: apt-cache show fglrx says that it's only version 8.960
[17:04] <PK> blazemore No, that ain't a good one. I need something better... like Codecademy?
[17:04] <moondoggy> blazemore, Weird.  That page tells me that it shouldn't be running on my machine, and the pop-up looks different.
[17:04] <moondoggy> Am I just paranoid?
[17:04] <MonkeyDust> PK  start here http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/
[17:05] <PK> MonkeyDust Already installed Quickly and learnt all its features. Just need to learn PyGTK.
[17:05] <blazemore> PK try asking in #python
[17:05] <MonkeyDust> PK  http://zetcode.com/gui/pygtk/
[17:06] <PK> blazemore: Not really. PyGTK is not so easy as Python.
[17:06] <PK> Any more languages I need to learn to continue? Any alternatives?>
[17:06] <[TiZ]> blazemore: It ended up being a problem with x2x.
[17:06] <blazemore> PyGTK is a Python library, so you'd do well to learn Python
[17:07] <IUseOTR> I deleted a bunch of packages associated with Evolution Mail (I use Thunderbird), and I seem to have deleted my clock/calendar display from the upper right side of the screen.  Can anybody tell me how to restore it?
[17:07] <PK> Is there a way to create apps in Ubuntu using Java? I don't think so... but still...
[17:07] <[TiZ]> You'd do well to learn Python just because anyways. I came from C-like languages like Java, C#, Vala.
[17:07] <blazemore> IUseOTR: The calendar is part of Evolution
[17:07] <trism> IUseOTR: indicator-datetime
[17:07] <blazemore> PK Java is cross-platform, so yeah you can code Java in Ubuntu
[17:07] <[TiZ]> Python is a very nice language once you get used to it.
[17:07] <blazemore> Python > Java IMO
[17:07] <ttafred> java is xplatform so yes, i think
[17:07] <tottto-drummond> I have a problem with my usb wifi adaptor. can someone help me
[17:08] <IUseOTR> trism/blazemore: Thanks!
[17:08] <blazemore> tottto-drummond: You'll have to be a bit more specific
[17:08] <[TiZ]> You would need Java bindings for GTK. Which are probably uglier than C# bindings to GTK.
[17:08] <PK> What is this Pango I hear of?
[17:08] <blazemore> PK: Pango is a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization.
[17:08] <[TiZ]> Nothing you will likely have to deal with directly. It's pretty well integrated into GTK.
[17:09] <PK> blazemore: Ah! Are you a bot? Because you type fast.
[17:10] <tottto-drummond> blazemore thanks.. I have a Belkin F9L1103 usb wifi adaptor I tried to get it to work with Ndiswrapper. but it doesn t seem to work. When I do lsusb ubuntu does recognizes it
[17:11] <MonkeyDust> PK  you didnt accept any advice, what is it that you want?
[17:12] <PK> MonkeyDust  I just need an alternative to PyGTK because there are not a lot of good tutorials  that I want.
[17:12] <caglar> is there any body can help me?
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> caglar  if you're sweet
[17:12] <caglar> i have a problem with my radeon hd 6470m driver
[17:12] <caglar> :)
[17:13] <robbie> how can I set pulse volume control as the default volume control instead of the one that usually is in sound prefs?
[17:13] <robbie> the system sound control cant handle volume sliders for 5.1 audio
[17:13] <tottto-drummond> blazemore any clue on how I can get it to work
[17:13] <caglar> it is hyprid with intel ati driver
[17:13] <robbie> at least not digital 5.1
[17:14] <blazemore> PK I'm not a bot
[17:14] <blazemore> (slow enough for you :P)
[17:15] <blazemore> tottto-drummond: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[17:15] <tottto-drummond> blazemore 12.10
[17:16] <blazemore> tottto-drummond: What happens if you run sudo modprobe rt2800usb
[17:17] <lahwran> if I do sudo apt-get install fglrx, then it should activate automatically, correct? and if I later do sudo apt-get remove fglrx then it should then revert to the open source driver automatically, correct?
[17:17] <blazemore> lahwran: In theory, yes
[17:17] <Aleksander> Hello. I've bought Humble Indie Bundle V with SuperMeatBoy and I'm trying to install with via Ubuntu Software Center, but it keeps downloading 277 instead of ~170 mb version of amd64 DEB. Why is that?
[17:17] <lahwran> blazemore: do you have experiences with it not working, or are you just being cautious with your recommendations?
[17:18] <blazemore> lahwran: I tend to screw around a lot so my breakages are probably my own
[17:18] <blazemore> lahwran: As long as you stick to the package manager and don't try installing from AMD themselves, you'll be golden
[17:18] <L3top> lahwran: not exactly... to remove fglrx you have to purge and reinstall some things.
[17:18] <lahwran> blazemore: blah. I was curious because I want to try fglrx, see how it works, and if it doesn't switch to official catalyst
[17:18] <fotographix> after days of searching to simply replace/swap a graphics card in ubuntu i have come to no conclusion, anyone know of a how to url, or any support options for hardware in ubuntu?
[17:18] <tottto-drummond> blazemore let me try
[17:19] <blazemore> fglrx is official catalyst
[17:19] <lahwran> but according to apt-cache show it's like 5 versions out of date
[17:19] <blazemore> tottto-drummond: be quick, I need to go home in 10 minutes
[17:19] <blazemore> lahwran: the "fglrx-updates" package might be more your speed?
[17:19] <MonkeyDust> fotographix  start here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[17:20] <fotographix> thank you
[17:20] <L3top> lahwran: what version of ubuntu are you on and what is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA
[17:20] <lahwran> blazemore: that's also version 8.960, whereas http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx is no less than four major versions ahead
[17:20] <lahwran> L3top: 12.04.1 installed a few days ago, and gimme a minute, I'm on irc from a different computer
[17:21] <lahwran> L3top: what does -nn do?
[17:21] <L3top> lahwran: see my pm on reverting from fglrx to radeon driver
[17:21] <lahwran> oh, I see
[17:21] <L3top> -nn = all numbers as well
[17:21] <caglar> but i have another problem
[17:21] <blazemore> lahwran: cd /tmp && wget -c http://goo.gl/Bbeki -O catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.zip && unzip catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.zip && chmod +x amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run && sudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run
[17:21] <caglar> it does not solve mine
[17:22] <tottto-drummond> blazemore nothing happens
[17:22] <lahwran> blazemore: okay, what does that do? it looks to me like it's just the commandline version of a normal install
[17:22] <caglar> because ati dont support my signature it says you need to talk with provider of your computer it means sony
[17:22] <Guest34433> Guys, is there a workaround for the non working fn+F5 brightness control on a laptop?
[17:22] <tottto-drummond> blazemore when I open ndiswrapper it says that I have rt2870
[17:23] <Guest34433> I am blinded :(
[17:23] <blazemore> lahwran: Yeah but it's the latest version from AMD's website, rather than the one packaged for Ubuntu
[17:23] <blazemore> Guest34433: I believe there's a brightness applet, if you alt-rightclick on your top bar and click add
[17:23] <lahwran> blazemore: yes, that's what I mean, I understand how to do that ._.
[17:23] <Guest34433> 10x man
[17:23] <blazemore> OK I have to go
[17:23] <blazemore> good luck Guest34433 and lahwran
[17:23] <MonkeyDust> Guest34433  the workaround is in the system settings, brightness and lock
[17:24] <tottto-drummond> blazemore and if I do sudo modprobe rt2870usb then I get a FATAL: rt2870usb not found
[17:24] <Guest34433> MonkeyDust, this doesn't work, hence me asking
[17:24] <blazemore> tottto-drummond: What happens if you run sudo modprobe rt2800usb
[17:25] <Guest34433> sliders are moving, controls are showing on the screen, yet nothing seems to work
[17:25] <blazemore> Anyway you're on your own
[17:25] <tottto-drummond> blazemore as I said.. nothing
[17:25] <blazemore> Should have done that in the first place ;)
[17:25] <blazemore> gtg
[17:26] <skywolf> connect
[17:26] <Guest34433> So, no way to manipulate brightness :(
[17:26] <skywolf> \connect
[17:26] <Guest34433> I read this is due kernel bug
[17:27] <karpa> hello!
[17:27] <lahwran> L3top: https://gist.github.com/1ffdcbf2300f5c08f27a
[17:27] <dr_willis> jello
[17:28] <tottto-drummond> blazemore Ndiswrapper does see the adaptor but under rt2870 not 2800
[17:29] <Ascavasaion> Can someone please help me install flash, because I cannot get it installed off Adobe's site because the browsers will not open apt.
[17:30] <MonkeyDust> !flash | Ascavasaion
[17:30] <kenneth__> man i'm in trouble. I just did an 1hr recording of my screen and voice using kazam. I know for a fact it worked, because i did trials. but during presentation, i couldn't exit out of recording. how do i recover it?
[17:30] <tottto-drummond> blazemore any idea ?
[17:30] <OerHeks> Guest34433, maybe this page is any help > acpi_backlight=vendor >>> http://www.techjail.net/solved-brightness-problem-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin.html
[17:30] <Ascavasaion> MonkeyDust: I have it installed, it just does not work.
[17:30] <lahwran> L3top: are you there? I got the lspci output as requested, what were you planning to find out
[17:32] <food1> I installed Kernel 3.4 64bit .. Can anyone kindly confirm me that i installed it correct version? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324200/
[17:33] <L3top> that isnt exactly what I requested... but... lol ok... so make sure you purge the driver with the instructions I gave you, and give fglrx-updates a try. If you just want to revert then skip that lahwran. I am now tied up but will be around for quick questions.
[17:33] <lahwran> L3top: the only difference is that I didn't bother filtering for the graphics card
[17:33] <lahwran> L3top: more information is better and all that
[17:34] <Ascavasaion> Okay, let me retry this... HOw do I get the browser to open APT installer when a link is clicked that tries to open it?
[17:35] <kashif> hyyy
[17:35] <ncmccx> Is gigolo supposed to show al shares in xubuntu? i can see shares with smbtree command
[17:35] <HulkHogan> Ascavasaion: install apt url
[17:37] <food1> anyone please?
[17:37] <L3top> lahwran: I am pretty specific with the commands with reason. I don't want to have to open a pastebin and read all of your lspci devices to find out if your pciid is supported by the current slew of drivers... I just want what I want pasted here as often as possible because I am busy.
[17:38] <HulkHogan> food1: run uname -a
[17:41] <food1> HulkHogan, it says 3.4.0-030400-generic but searching all kernel version it output "Linux kernel image for version 3.4.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP" where 3.2 says " Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP"
[17:41] <Ascavasaion> HulkHogan: Okay, it asked me f I want to open the link with Apturl.  I chose to, and then it popped up "Unknown channel 'precise-partner' The channel 'precise-partner' is not known".
[17:43] <HulkHogan> food1: if it says 3.4.0 then thats ur current kernel
[17:43] <food1> HulkHogan, So it really 64 bit ?
[17:43] <trism> !partner | Ascavasaion
[17:43] <HulkHogan> Ascavasaion: u probally need to enable it in the software sources
[17:43] <HulkHogan> Ascavasaion: is just a checkbox u need to enable
[17:44] <HulkHogan> food1: if it says 64 then ur using 64bit, if it says like i686 then u using 32bit
[17:45] <juztus> what about PowerPC processor ubuntu?
[17:46] <Peter> Hello their! i would like to ask a question about ubuntu
[17:46] <juztus> does any use such on old PowerMacs?
[17:46] <HulkHogan> juztus: dont think they support those anymore
[17:46] <Peter> When i load ubuntu from a live usb stick, it takes a very very long time
[17:46] <food1> HulkHogan, What can i understand from this description :  Linux kernel image for version 3.4.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP
[17:46] <Peter> like 2 or 3 minutes, at least
[17:47] <Peter> do you know what is the problem?
[17:47] <Erik_D> Peter: your USB drive?
[17:47] <borg-queen> i am having trouble mounting my windows ntfs drive and fdisk does not see the harddrive either.  I am running kubuntu which is installed on a SATA Raid 5 PCI controller card (no problems here) and I have Windows installed on a seperate physical harddrive (only ntfs partition on it) which is connected to my motherboard's SATA Port.
[17:47] <juztus> ok Hulk told me theyre outdated PC's (them(e) 'Parked'Macs.)
[17:47] <Peter> Yes, a linux live usb
[17:47] <HulkHogan> food1: yea thats a 32bit then
[17:47] <thepredator1994> hi
[17:47] <Erik_D> hi
[17:47] <Erik_D> how are you
[17:47] <Erik_D> :/
[17:48] <Peter> Erik_D: Yes, i am launching ubuntu from a live usb. but it takes a long time
[17:48] <HulkHogan> borg-queen: might need to install ntfsprogs or ntfstools forgot the name
[17:48] <Peter> it works but at the start screen (the purple screen with the ubuntu logo and the 4 dots) it takes like for 2 or 3 minutes
[17:48] <Erik_D> Peter: I meant your USB is probably the problem
[17:48] <Peter> Oh
[17:48] <Peter> what do you think i should do? right now i have 2 different usb sticks
[17:48] <juztus> how much better for a guru-geek is theBBS in comparison to this ubuntu?
[17:49] <Erik_D> USBs over, well, usb connections are much slower than hard drives over SATA
[17:49] <Peter> Is it possible to use any other type of USB device?
[17:49] <Peter> like a portable hard drive?
[17:49] <blazinbass> Is it possible that switching to Lbuntu has drastically lowered my download speeds?  I swear my internet will no longer download anything above 100kbs a second
[17:49] <blazinbass> its incredibly slow
[17:49] <food1> HulkHogan, I installed these http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324237/ ... But not understanding why it should 32bit .. Here i confused
[17:49] <borg-queen> HulkHogan: I installed ntfs-config which is the only ntfs package I could find
[17:49] <Peter> my computer does not have a cd drive
[17:50] <HulkHogan> borg-queen: did u enable the other non-free repositories?
[17:50] <juztus> probably mmany overly many disk configurations r possible but most produce a slow environment for Todays DigitalMedia-to-be transferred thsrough the electronics-32bit-channels
[17:51] <blazinbass> is it possible that lbuntu is limiting my download speeds?
[17:51] <HulkHogan> borg-queen: then u should be able to see the other packages
[17:51] <Erik_D> Peter: a drive might work better
[17:51] <Erik_D> Peter: Is an extra minute or 2 that big a deal?
[17:51] <Peter> What is a drive? a hard drive?
[17:51] <Peter> No
[17:51] <Erik_D> yeah
[17:51] <juztus> Express-PCI etc. dont yeat remove certain bottlenecks
[17:51] <Erik_D> Peter: Or try a lighter weight distro
[17:51] <Peter> its just that i use it on the school laptop (teehee) to bypass admin controls and to play games. i dont want to do anything permenant to the computer
[17:52] <Erik_D> pretty much anything but ubuntu.
[17:52] <Erik_D> OH lol
[17:52] <Erik_D> Fun times in high school XD
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> Erik_D: Lubuntu is light
[17:52] <Peter> yeah. i play minecraft on it XD
[17:52] <Peter> the admins have a program called lanschool, so they can basicly own the computer
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> Erik_D: ubuntu minimal + openbox is insanely light
[17:52] <Peter> so i figuered, if i change the OS then they cant log everything
[17:52] <HulkHogan> food1: run aptitude search linux-headers , to see which one is installed
[17:52] <Peter> so yeah. it loads for a long time. is there anything i can do?
[17:53] <Erik_D> Peter: Also fun is getting damn small linux, loading to ram, and leaving
[17:53] <Erik_D> you can remove cd / usb

[17:53] <juztus> I'm trying to help but mySelf, a simple Proble, how to  rebuild a network connection to a laptop, if integrated is damaged beyound repair
[17:53] <macmartine> Can I disable a startup script in /etc/init.d just by giving it an extension like .sample ?
[17:53] <Peter> I am not exactly a computer technician
[17:54] <Peter> so what do i do? get a small os that i boot it and because its so small it stays in the RAM?
[17:54] <juztus> viaUSB (like suondCard is), I don't have pcmcia, AnyOne knoe how to rebuild a RJ-45 through some usb port, or so?
[17:54] <borg-queen> HulkHogan: I believe I did. Software Sources states I have enabled: Canonical-supported Open Source Software, Community-maintained Open Source Software, Proprietary drivers for devices, and Software restricted by copyright or legal issues
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> !info chkconfig
[17:55] <Erik_D> Peter: there is a distribution called Damn Small Linux, and one of the boot options is to move the image to ram, so you don't need the usb drive or cd, and it's really fast because it's all already loaded into ram
[17:55] <Peter> Oh
[17:55] <Erik_D> But yeah, try something like lubuntu
[17:55] <Peter> does it looks good and is GUI'ed and has a web browser?
[17:55] <HulkHogan> borg-queen: yea try refreshing now
[17:55] <Peter> i need it to look kinda good, so i get brag points (XD) and also i prefer GUI rather then command line
[17:56] <Peter> i could use command line if i had to, though
[17:56] <beeju> Peter, I use puppy
[17:56] <Peter> What is that?
[17:56] <MonkeyDust> puppy is a small distro
[17:56] <beeju> Peter, Puppy-Linux
[17:56] <Peter> How is it? can it boot to ram?
[17:57] <Pici> !offtopic
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> macmartine: sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf; sudo sysv-rc-conf
[17:57] <rwlyonsjr> Good afternoon... I am having some wireless problems with my Asus Zenbook UX31E... Can anyone help
[17:57] <MonkeyDust> Peter  "The entire system can be run from RAM, allowing the boot medium to be removed after the operating system has started."
[17:57] <beeju> Peter, http://puppylinux.org/main/Overview%20and%20Getting%20Started.htm
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> rwlyonsjr: if you can give details, we can advise
[17:57] <Peter> Thank you, people
[17:58] <Peter> i am now compairing darn small linux and puppie
[17:58] <Makdaam> hello, I've got some problems with my terminal... the width is wrong in some of the apps I run
[17:58] <rwlyonsjr> ActionParsnip: Sure I am only getting about 2 bars of signal and at times I am dropped off the network even if I am sitting close to the router
[17:58] <Makdaam> where do I even start diagnosing it?
[17:58] <goddard> how can i disable the email bounce response email from my server?
[17:59] <gordonjcp> goddard: depends on what you're using
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> rwlyonsjr: what wifi chip are you using?
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> Peter: slitaz is light too
[17:59] <Peter> Ok?
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> Peter: as is tinycore (tinycore is probably smallest)
[17:59] <Peter> can all of these distros boot via usb?
[18:00] <Peter> my school laptop is designed for security, so no cd drive
[18:00] <rwlyonsjr> ActionParsnip: what is the best way to find the exact chip. I know it uses the Arth9k driver
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> Peter: yes, you can use unetbootin to put them on a USB stick
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> rwlyonsjr: sudo lshw -C network      is ONE way. There is no best way
[18:00] <Peter> Ok
[18:01] <rwlyonsjr> ActionParsnip: AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter
[18:01] <beeju> Peter, use unetbootin if u r on Windows or use multisystem if on Ubuntu
[18:01] <Peter> I am on my school laptop, windows now
[18:02] <Peter> i mainly use linux to bypass admin controls, so yeah
[18:02] <beeju> with Multisystem, u can install multiple OSs on a single USB
[18:02] <TheJelly> Connecting my phone to the computer using bluetooth a2dp profile always fails, how can I check what is wrong?
[18:03] <beeju> Multisystem-- http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> rwlyonsjr: if you run:   sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'channel|ssid'     do you see a lot of wirelesses on the same channel?
[18:03] <Guest34433> Guys, what is the best file system for storage?
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> Guest34433: all filesystems do storage
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> Guest34433: there is no best file system
[18:04] <Guest34433> big media files and such
[18:04] <beeju> Peter, Multisystem can be installed on live-cd/USB too
[18:04] <HulkHogan> Guest34433: anything but FAT then
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> Guest34433: I'd go for Ext4 for simplicity
[18:04] <rwlyonsjr> ActionParsnip: Right now I see 2 networks in range and they are on 2 different channel
[18:04] <Guest34433> ext4 it is then
[18:04] <Peter> Oh dear :D your all gonna advertise me your favorite Linux distros :D
[18:05] <beeju> Peter, no ad but help
[18:05] <MonkeyDust> Peter  wait until we start recommending IRC clients
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> rwlyonsjr: that's good, now you have the wifi chip, you can search for solutions
[18:06]  * Peter says to his computer: Brace yourselfs! the great linux distro ad-rant is gonna come!

[18:17] <FloSoft> hi, why the f*** did do-release-upgrade upgraded me from natty to oneiric and not to the next LTS?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> Trebuchet: only if you are running a file server or an email server
[18:17] <serverqg> Sorry... bazhag. I want if Google Earth run good in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10
[18:17] <xangua> !language | FloSoft
[18:18] <Trebuchet> sorry ubottu
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> FloSoft: because theonly way you can upgrade to Precise OS from Lucid (LTS to LTS) or from 11.10 (next release)
[18:18] <bazhang> serverqg, please stop posting that here. we don't need to know your upload and download speeds
[18:18] <jrib> FloSoft: you cannot skip versions while upgrading unless you are going from LTS to LT
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> FloSoft: you cannot leapfro releases
[18:18] <jrib> S
[18:18] <Guest34433> ActionParsnip, which file should I put this acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor line?
[18:18] <FloSoft> hmm so I cant go to lts from oneiric?
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> Guest34433: http://askubuntu.com/questions/154557/unable-to-change-brightness-settings-in-sony-vaio-e-series-laptop

[18:19] <serverqg> I am brazilian, sorry my english

[18:20] <ActionParsnip> Trebuchet: oh dear :(
[18:20] <Trebuchet> what?
[18:20] <FloSoft> ActionParsnip: but I dont skip a version arent I?
[18:20] <jrib> FloSoft: you can upgrade to precise (LTS) from oneiric
[18:21] <FloSoft> jrib: how? im on oneiric now, but do-release-upgrade does not offer that option
[18:21] <Trebuchet> I suggested to my dad to use truecrypt and he trusted me with the password, but I forgot it
[18:21] <jrib> FloSoft: it should
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> FloSoft: if you update from Natty to Oneiric, then upgrade Oneiric to Precise then you have not missed a release
[18:21] <Trebuchet> I need to get it open or he'll kill me
[18:21] <Trebuchet> my dad uses Ubuntu if that helps
[18:22] <FloSoft> interesting - I tried 2min before and it said no new release available O.o
[18:22] <FloSoft> now it works *lol*

[18:28] <wols> zastaph: it can't. and what you want is a bad idea
[18:29] <zastaph> wols, how come
[18:29] <wols> cause a modern GPU only uses 10-20W while on the desktop
[18:30] <zastaph> wols, I see, gotta check the cards specs then
[18:30] <PK> How to use IRC in Empathy?
[18:30] <PK> I don't see IRC on the account settings.
[18:30] <trism> PK: if 12.10 you may need to install account-plugin-irc
[18:31] <PK> Okay, I got it.
[18:31] <xangua> PK: you need empathy irc module, besides that empathy is VERY limited for irc
[18:31] <PK> sudo apt-get install blah.
[18:31] <|Anthony|> i need to clone a dual-boot hdd to a smaller drive. the 2 partitions that make up the dual boot are smaller than the new hdd. the rest of the original hdd is backup space
[18:31] <|Anthony|> how do i do that
[18:31] <Killa_Killa[RIP]> #freenode.fr
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> PK: https://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ#IRC
[18:31] <PK> Hello, absolute value of Anthony.
[18:32] <|Anthony|> lol
[18:32] <|Anthony|> like that
[18:32] <PK> Yes, it is 12.10 Unity.
[18:32] <thesadmafioso> Har, PK that's clever.
[18:32] <linuxuz3r> |Anthony|: maybe dd?
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> |Anthony|: you can use dd, clonezilla, grsync in liveCD
[18:32] <VlanX> anyone knows how to set the time a windows takes to fade back to the unity panel when you press "iconize" ?
[18:32] <PK> Thank you. <tips hat>
[18:33] <thesadmafioso> Is there a command to delete folders with files still inside of them?
[18:33] <jrib> !cli | thesadmafioso
[18:33] <MonkeyDust> thesadmafioso  rm -r
[18:33] <jrib> thesadmafioso: rm -r
[18:33] <|Anthony|> that might work if it was a simple dd if-/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb so i could get the mbr too. but the replacement hdd is smaller
[18:33] <thesadmafioso> Ah, so remove recursively?
[18:34] <thesadmafioso> Ok, I shall try that and then stop staring at this comptuer screen for the night. Thank you!
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> |Anthony|: use bs=1024   to speed it up a bit :)
[18:34] <linuxuz3r> ActionParsnip: but he said the replacement hdd is smaller
[18:34] <linuxuz3r> is it smaller?
[18:35] <PK> You people are smart.
[18:35] <|Anthony|> yes
[18:35] <|Anthony|> although... the 2 os's on the original are smaller than the replacement
[18:35] <|Anthony|> but the whole drive is larger
[18:35] <PK> |Anthony|: "yes" is not a replacement to "thank you". ;)
[18:35] <wilee-nilee> |Anthony|, Personally I would resize the original with gparted to fit then clone it with clonezilla then install in the new one, This serves two purposes you have a new hd set up and the clone for backup.
[18:36] <PK> I'm not running GNOME, so Terminal wouldn't accept the GNOME command.
[18:36] <linuxuz3r> |Anthony|: what wilee-nilee said
[18:36] <PK> I repeat, I'm using Unity.
[18:36] <linuxuz3r> it still should work PK
[18:37] <PK> Ain't working, linuxuz3r.
[18:37] <linuxuz3r> try typing term in application
[18:37] <linuxuz3r> finder
[18:37] <PK> Are there other pre-installed IRC clients?
[18:37] <linuxuz3r> not that i know of
[18:37] <linuxuz3r> but you are already using one
[18:38] <PK> Are there any good ones I may install (leaving ChatZilla)?
[18:38] <MonkeyDust> PK  what are you running?
[18:38] <gordonjcp> irssi
[18:38] <PK> Nah... I need a quicker access. I'm on my web browser.
[18:38] <gordonjcp> run irssi inside screen on a server somewhere
[18:38] <PK> gordonjcp  Not there on the dash.
[18:38] <MonkeyDust> irssi <3
[18:38] <gordonjcp> PK: it wouldn't be on your local machine
[18:39] <gordonjcp> well, it *could* be I suppose
[18:39] <gordonjcp> you could install it
[18:39] <PK> What are you guys running?
[18:39] <gordonjcp> PK: irssi, inside screen
[18:39] <gordonjcp> it's awesome
[18:39] <MonkeyDust> same here
[18:39] <PK> I can't find it on the Dash.
[18:39] <gordonjcp> PK: you'd need to install it
[18:39] <PK> Oh Lord.
[18:40] <PK> Okay.
[18:40] <gordonjcp> PK: and as I said, ideally you'd install it on some hosted machine somewhere, run it in screen, and ssh to it
[18:40] <MonkeyDust> sudo apt-get install screen irssi
[18:40] <linuxuz3r> pk try searching for terminal on the dash
[18:40] <gordonjcp> PK: watch this
[18:40] <ttafred> unity feels slow. is this because i have a 128mb graphic?
[18:40] <PK> I know terminal. Gosh.
[18:40] <gordonjcp> PK: okay, I've now turned my desktop off, and I'm sitting on my PC in the van
[18:41] <gordonjcp> PK: did you see me disconnect and reconnect? No? That's because I didn't - I just dropped the ssh connection on one machine, connected from another, and reattached screen
[18:41] <linuxuz3r> gordonjcp: what does screen do?
[18:41] <PK> I don't really follow those "joined," and "left" messages.
[18:42] <gordonjcp> linuxuz3r: it provides a virtual console that you can disconnect and reattach
[18:42] <linuxuz3r> gordonjcp: using what connection?
[18:42] <linuxuz3r> ssh?
[18:42] <PK> Which one works on Ubuntu again? tar.bz or tar.gz?
[18:42] <gordonjcp> yeah
[18:42] <MonkeyDust> linuxuz3r  you can even terminate terminal and log off, screen keeps running
[18:42] <linuxuz3r> pk both
[18:43] <linuxuz3r> ok
[18:43] <wols> PK: tar -j... is bz2 and tar -z... is gz

[18:43] <sarutahiko> I messed aroudn with my shell a bit (to get zsh instead of bash) and now my prompt is [computername]% and no longer shows my account name.  is this normal with zsh or am i in  the wrong shell
[18:43] <PK> Who are the reds here?
[18:44] <MonkeyDust> the reds?
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> sarutahiko: does zsh honour PS1 ?
[18:44] <sarutahiko> I do not know what PS1 is
[18:44] <sarutahiko> but it also doesn't show my path
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> sarutahiko: its the variableto define the bash prompt
[18:45] <jrib> sarutahiko: when you first run zsh it should run you through its setup...
[18:45] <sarutahiko> jrib: yes I just completed that
[18:45] <john_doe_jr> I need to cd into a directory that has a space in the file name…how do I do that?
[18:45] <jrib> sarutahiko: I think you could have chosen a prompt there :)
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> sarutahiko: try:  export PS1="\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$"
[18:45] <PK> irssi downloaded and I've opened this with Archive Manager.  What next?
[18:46] <john_doe_jr> anybody?
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> PK: run:   irssi   in a terminal
[18:46] <MonkeyDust> john_doe_jr  tab completes, even the spaces
[18:46] <PK> okay my sire.
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> john_doe_jr: use TAB to complete the name
[18:46] <bazhang> PK are you on ubuntu? you dont install irssi from a tar.gz
[18:46] <john_doe_jr> MonkeyDust: they name of the file is Office 2007 Std
[18:47] <MonkeyDust> PK  sudo apt-get install screen irssi
[18:47] <john_doe_jr> MonkeyDust: it doesn't automatically change to this
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> john_doe_jr: or run:     cd Office\ 2007\ Std
[18:47] <sarutahiko> ActionParsnip: now my prompt is "\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]\u@\h:\w$"
[18:47] <PK> MonkeyDust  all right, the old sudo way.  Right on.
[18:47] <jrib> sarutahiko: here http://zshwiki.org/home/config/prompt (you can just edit PS1 if you want but there are some nice preset ones you can explore)
[18:47] <MonkeyDust> PK  the  fastest and easiest way
[18:47] <linuxuz3r> lolz PK you should have used terminal to run the empathy plugin
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> sarutahiko: then the PS1 is honoured. You can find guides to set the prompt as you desire
[18:47] <jrib> sarutahiko, ActionParsnip: the escapes are different in zsh, they use %
[18:47] <mr_ebola> hi
[18:47] <PK> Oh boy.
[18:48] <sarutahiko> thank you
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> jrib: gotcha
[18:48]  * jrib learned that ActionParsnip is not a zsh user and is disappointed :(
[18:48] <PK> Could you please explain this beginner (me) how to do that? @linuxuz3r.
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> jrib: bash does enough for me
[18:49] <jrib> ActionParsnip: just teasing you
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> jrib: I know :D
[18:50] <Linkandzelda> can i request some assistance? My mac mini is unable to boot a live usb installer, and the command to make a user installer from a mac result in an unreadable disc

[19:01] <ericus> Hi! Any ideas why gigabit LAN is slow while transfering files from Ubuntu 12.04 to a Windows 2008r2 Server using Windows File Sharing? Max speed about 25MB/s.
[19:02] <ericus> Works better with NFS, around 60MB/s
[19:02] <MonkeyDust> !it > antonino
[19:02] <ericus> And even better from Windows 7 (on the same machine as ubuntu) to the server; 90-110MB/s
[19:03] <zastaph> are there any ubuntu certified gamer desktops ?
[19:04] <xangua> ElixirVitae: you mean with grub2¿

[19:05] <heathjs> hrm, one thing i'm not sure how to do is to see which flags a package was compiled with..
[19:05] <ElixirVitae> I suppose I should make it MBR Partition scheme
[19:06] <heathjs> figured it might in the output of apt-cache show <package> but not seeing it
[19:06] <ElixirVitae> I wonder if I suppose what I should suppose~

[19:08] <VlanX> where can i find the kernel headers on 12.10 ?
[19:09] <food1> I have installed the new kernel and header file. now i want to remove the default old kernel and header file. But when i do "apt-get purge linux-header-<version> it just want to upgrade ... what can i do?
[19:10] <designbybeck> Wasn't there an issue with Ubuntu not controlling fans on laptops and they overhead?
[19:10] <aboudreault> designbybeck, well.... I have 3 laptops completly FANNINNNNNNNNNGGG,.... so I would say yes :P
[19:10] <designbybeck> uh
[19:10] <ericus> food1, try to remove it using synaptics
[19:11] <designbybeck> I thought i saw somewhere there was issues with ubuntu causing laptops to overheat aboudreault
[19:11] <food1> ericus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324505/
[19:11] <designbybeck> and I have a friend who is new to ubuntu that is haven't that problme
[19:11] <wilee-nilee> designbybeck, Never had a problem, with at least 4 different laptops, it is not with all laptops,
[19:12] <ericus> food1 try synaptics
[19:12] <aboudreault> probably. here we use Dell laptops
[19:13] <designbybeck> he's on an Acer aspire
[19:13] <designbybeck> yeah I don't think I have had a problem with my Dells running hot
[19:14] <aboudreault> designbybeck, is the laptop relatively new? like less than a year old?
[19:14] <ericus> Does anyone know a BNC software that allows me to join multiple networks, with different nicknames in some networks? ZNC does not seem to do the job
[19:15] <fusk> Any new solutions to the freezing issue for laptops? version 12.10
[19:15] <aboudreault> ericus, I just setup different username/pass for each network. same things
[19:15] <wols> fusk: irssi?
[19:15] <fusk> wols, ?
[19:15] <aboudreault> wols, irssi is not a BNC
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> fusk: tested RAM health?
[19:16] <mrebol4> ñ.ñ
[19:16] <wols> aboudreault: of course it is
[19:16] <ericus> aboudreault, okay, but that would require several windows? I need a client for my phone
[19:16] <fusk> ActionParsnip, the machine is fine. After going through the forums etc. i've found it seems to be a commen issue.
[19:17] <wilee-nilee> fusk, A forum is not a cause and effect equaling common, it is for people to go with troubles the data is skewed.
[19:17] <ericus> aboudreault, do you have any good guide that you can link to? I'll be running it on a headless Ubuntu Server
[19:18] <aboudreault> ericus, I would have thought that on a mobile phone... it's simply status windows + channel windows.. so it doesn't care how many network you are. I might be wrong
[19:18] <designbybeck> waiting on his reply aboudreault i'm going to get him to check on this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/137747/acer-aspire-heats-up-in-ubuntu-10-10
[19:18] <designbybeck> But he did say he is running 12.10
[19:19] <food1> ericus, This description This package provides kernel header files for version 3.4.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP. i am on 32bit?
[19:19] <ericus> food1 then x86 is correct
[19:19] <ericus> that's 32bit
[19:19] <DereC> hi all
[19:19] <ericus> Hi DereC
[19:20] <DereC> im bit stuck on ubuntu
[19:20] <DereC> machine is runnig without ui
[19:20] <DereC> mean no x server etc
[19:20] <DereC> connection is only thru ssh
[19:20] <DereC> now new hdd is added
[19:20] <Pici> !enter | DereC
[19:20] <ericus> is the machine headless DereC?
[19:20] <DereC> yes
[19:21] <ericus> then you won't have any GUI
[19:21] <DereC> trying to partition 3tb hdd on headlees machine
[19:21] <ericus> Unless you go for some RDP protocol
[19:21] <DereC> fdisk is not supporting more than 2tb
[19:21] <wilee-nilee> DereC, 3 terrabyte would be gpt
[19:22] <food1> ericus, but install the amd64 bit kernel... I am not understanding why it should be 32 bit. See here the output of few command : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324534/
[19:22] <DereC> wilee-nilee, yep, but gparted cant be run just with cmd
[19:22] <wols> DereC: parted can
[19:22] <DereC> or?
[19:23] <defaultro_> hey guys, how do I disable xen/
[19:23] <fusk> wilee-nilee,  i'v been through all the forums to the distros i've tried, every ubuntu distros has this issue for many laptop users. don't think commen is so far fetched.
[19:23] <food1> ericus, any idea?
[19:24] <wols> defaultro_: uninstall it
[19:24] <ericus> food1, no, sorry man :(
[19:24] <DereC> wols, thats what im looking for
[19:24] <defaultro_> wols: worried that it might remove kernel too
[19:25] <fusk> And it seems to only happen for ubuntu, on fedora and fuduntu this does not happen.
[19:25] <ericus> aboudreault, are you satisfied with ZNC? Any guide that I can follow?
[19:25] <arune> hello, which channel can I get help debugging a crash in unity/compiz 12.10?
[19:25] <aboudreault> ericus, yes I am, very easy to setup.
[19:25] <speckmade1> why doesn't my Pidgin allow me to use the SILC chat protocol?.. :-(
[19:25] <aboudreault> ericus, I just follow instruction on the site
[19:26] <aboudreault> and configured my options via the web interface
[19:26] <ericus> aboudreault, okay, thanks a lot! :)
[19:26] <XiaolinDraconis> in xchat how can i switch to dialog window via keyboard?
[19:26] <arune> Im trying to install debug symbols for compiz but failes with broken dependency
[19:26] <Erik_D> arune: what dep?
[19:26] <Erik_D>
[19:27] <arune> compiz-core-dbgsym : Depends: compiz-core (= 1:<IP_ADDRESS>+bzr3407-0ubuntu1) but 1:<IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu3 is to be installed
[19:27] <speckmade1> (maybe I'd rather ask this in the Pidgin chatroom...)
[19:27] <arune> I have added apt source: deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com quantal main restricted universe multiverse
[19:27] <bazhang> XiaolinDraconis, try in #xchat
[19:27] <Erik_D> arune: do you have updates to run or anything?
[19:28] <arune> Erik_D: no
[19:28] <arune> 1:<IP_ADDRESS>+bzr3407-0ubuntu1 seems to point to a bazar revision
[19:29] <arune> google gives that more people found that its not possible to install compiz debug symbols but no solution
[19:30] <ericus> Any ideas why gigabit LAN is slow while transfering files from Ubuntu 12.04 to a Windows 2008r2 Server using Windows File Sharing? Max speed about 25MB/s. With NFS on the server the speed is about 60MB/s
[19:30] <Erik_D> arune: No idea, sorry :/
[19:30] <ericus> And in Win 7 on the same machine to the server 90-110MB/s
[19:30] <wilee-nilee> fusk, I can appreciate your argument but it just a assumption. ;)
[19:30] <arune> Erik_D: any clue if there is a better channel to get help at? #ubuntu-unity?
[19:31] <bazhang> arune, #compiz perhaps
[19:31] <Erik_D> ^
[19:31] <arune> Ill try, thanks!
[19:32] <aaro> just testing irssi here.

[19:32] <defaultro_> what is this guys -> title           Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, memtest86+
[19:33] <defaultro_> kernel of that is pointing to /boot/memtest86+.bin
[19:33] <TheLordOfTime> defaultro_:  it runs memtest86
[19:33] <TheLordOfTime> which is a memory tester among other things
[19:33] <XiaolinDraconis> i know someone just answered me, but i accidently switched channels
[19:33] <defaultro_> ok
[19:33] <aaro> it's memory check tool
[19:34] <defaultro_> i knew it, it was the same as the one for dos.
[19:34] <XiaolinDraconis> how can i switch to a dialog window via keyboard?
[19:34] <defaultro_> i'm trying to figure out which kernel to use since i want to use non-xen kernel
[19:34] <TheLordOfTime> XiaolinDraconis:  the answer was ask in #xchat
[19:34] <TheLordOfTime> XiaolinDraconis:  so go ask in #xchat

[19:35] <TheLordOfTime> you should learn IRC commands before exploding.
[19:35] <gordonjcp> !attitude | XiaolinDraconis
[19:35] <XiaolinDraconis> i know how to /join
[19:35] <gordonjcp> XiaolinDraconis: also, why on earth are you attempting to use xchat without a mouse?
[19:36] <XiaolinDraconis> i dont have one available atm
[19:36] <gordonjcp> (one might ask why attempt to use xchat *at all*, but that's out of scope here)
[19:36] <XiaolinDraconis> haha good one
[19:36] <bazhang> XiaolinDraconis, just type it in
[19:36] <XiaolinDraconis> cause its default in buntu
[19:36] <XiaolinDraconis> i know how to do that
[19:36] <bazhang> XiaolinDraconis, lets move on
[19:37] <gordonjcp> XiaolinDraconis: kill xchat, install irssi, and use the keyboard for everything
[19:37] <gordonjcp> boom, fixed
[19:37] <XiaolinDraconis> thing is the only populated and helpful channel in all of freenode happens to be #ubuntu
[19:37] <aaro> can someone say a good video editor for linux?
[19:37] <afidegnum> hello, anyone familiar with nginx here? I am dying of a frozen situation of "400 Bad Request Request Header Or Cookie Too Large" error, for the past 5 days now I can't fix it, after many attempts. even #nginx channel couldn't assist. can you pls give a push ?
[19:37] <aaro> and is there one where you could edit text too?
[19:37] <bazhang> aaro, openshot
[19:38] <XiaolinDraconis> gordonjcp, thanks gordan ill give that a go, i managed to open keyboard shortcuts for xchat and dont see an option for switching already open channels
[19:39] <gordonjcp> XiaolinDraconis: try something like ctrl-left and right or something
[19:39] <aaro> thanks,bazhang!
[19:40] <TheLordOfTime> XiaolinDraconis:  ctrl+pgup or ctrl+pgdown if you are using tree format
[19:40] <TheLordOfTime> if tabs, try ctrl+left or ctrl+right
[19:40] <XiaolinDraconis> sorry for the attitude, im sure you can imagine having no mouse makes for a bad day
[19:40] <gordonjcp> does it?
[19:40] <Linkandzelda> hey, guys, im having real trouble with mac being able to boot any usb drives... none of the guides work and are all out dated
[19:40] <TheLordOfTime> its happened to me before.
[19:40] <TheLordOfTime> i don't explode on people from it though.
[19:40] <TheLordOfTime> XiaolinDraconis:  ^
[19:40]  * gordonjcp rummages around to find a mouse
[19:40] <XiaolinDraconis> useful tips are still useless
[19:41] <gordonjcp> at some point I unplugged my mouse to plug something else in and never got around to reconnecting it
[19:41] <gordonjcp> but, I'm using Unity, which is pretty good for keyboard shortcuts
[19:41] <Main-User> i have been advised to switch to unbuntu what are the main benefits from switching from windows to unbuntu
[19:41] <XiaolinDraconis> gordonjcp, had this been windows i wouldnt have a problem navigating with a keyboard
[19:41] <gordonjcp> XiaolinDraconis: because you're more familiar with it
[19:42] <gordonjcp> XiaolinDraconis: had I been on Windows I wouldn't have been able to navigate it at all, with or without a mouse
[19:42] <gaby> hello every body - iam trying to create a USB windows XP installer - i use unetbootin - but its asking me for the kernel - i dont know what to do - any help  ????
[19:42] <gordonjcp> Windows is just baffling and weirdly inconsistent
[19:42] <XiaolinDraconis> which is why i posted a question to #ubuntu, as all of you are far more familiar with this than most windows users are with windows
[19:42] <TheLordOfTime> gaby:  did you download an ISO of Ubuntu first, and tell unetbootin to burn that ISO?
[19:42] <TheLordOfTime> rather than using its built in download-and-install options
[19:43] <XiaolinDraconis> Main-User, i find the best benefit, ive never had malware or virus infect my system, and when searching for support i dont get a lot of garbage in results
[19:43] <gaby> this is what i installed  " theLordOfTime"   sudo apt-get install gparted
[19:44] <savid> Hi, I'm using 12.10, and I'm having issues with frequent disconnects of my wireless connection.  Any time I seem to loose connectivity, I ping my router and get no response.  Turning wifi off and on again fixes it, but only temporarily.  Anyone experience this?
[19:46] <savid> I'm on a macbook pro and am using the proprietary broadcom firmware
[19:46] <savid> (b43)
[19:46] <gaby> TheLordOfTime :  here is what i used         http://askubuntu.com/questions/192096/which-software-should-i-use-on-ubuntu-to-create-a-windows-xp-liveusb
[19:47] <Main-User> but i take it there is still a chance u can get infected with malware/virus issues with unbuntu but just not as common
[19:48] <gaby> hello every body - iam trying to create a USB windows XP installer - i use unetbootin - but its asking me for the kernel - i dont know what to do - any help  ????
[19:48] <gordonjcp> Main-User: no, there aren't any
[19:48] <Linkandzelda> i think viruses on linuc are really uncomment, there is no target audience for hackers
[19:48] <gordonjcp> Linkandzelda: not really true
[19:49] <gordonjcp> Linkandzelda: there are vastly more Linux machines in the world, sitting there connected to the Internet, than there are Windows machines
[19:49] <ix_> !tv
[19:49] <gordonjcp> Linkandzelda: most sane people don't connect Windows machines directly to an Internet connection, they go through some sort of firewall or router
[19:49] <gordonjcp> Linkandzelda: guess what that runs?
[19:50] <Main-User> is that due to how much ubuntu is used.   I'm thinking 10.04 is too much for it I want to go with 9.01. Is there an easy way to downgrade?
[19:52] <gordonjcp> Linkandzelda: I stuck fail2ban on it because I got annoyed with Chinese skript kiddies hammering away at port 22, but that's about it
[19:52] <Linkandzelda> gordonjcp: well things like CSF, clamav, spam assassin etc.
[19:52] <gordonjcp> OpenSorce: nope
[19:52] <bazhang> OpenSorce, 9.10? its end of life and not supported
[19:52] <gordonjcp> OpenSorce: that's unsupported now
[19:52] <irocksu> hi
[19:52] <gordonjcp> OpenSorce: what are the specs of the machine?
[19:52] <evilbetty> hehe chinese scriptkiddies meh
[19:52] <wilee-nilee> OpenSorce, There is no desktop release before 10.04 that is not end of life.
[19:53] <gordonjcp> Linkandzelda: oh, are you handling mail for Windows machines?
[19:53] <evilbetty> i unbanned them after a week and they're still trying me
[19:53] <bazhang> !ot | evilbetty
[19:53] <evilbetty> we dont they give up after a few hours ban
[19:53] <OpenSorce> Transmeta Crusoe TC5800 proc, 256mb ram
[19:53] <bazhang> evilbetty, wrong channel
[19:53] <evilbetty> :p
[19:53] <gordonjcp> evilbetty: I want to patch fail2ban to respond with things that'll trigger the Great Firewall
[19:53] <Linkandzelda> gordonjcp: IMAP in general, as well as wen hosting and dns
[19:53] <Linkandzelda> web*
[19:54] <evilbetty> well it happens on ubuntu server ;)
[19:54] <gordonjcp> Linkandzelda: right, but I take it clamav is for scanning mail for people on Windows?
[19:54] <OpenSorce> I know I know, old and unsupported version but this thing is too slow on 10.04
[19:54] <gordonjcp> OpenSorce: it's going to be slow on just about anything
[19:54] <bazhang> evilbetty, this is NOT the random chat channel. please stop it
[19:54] <Linkandzelda> gordonjcp: I guess it scans mail and files as well
[19:54] <gordonjcp> OpenSorce: there is absolutely no difference in speed between any of the versions of Ubuntu, assuming you run roughly the same UI
[19:55] <gordonjcp> OpenSorce: you should try 12.04 Lubuntu
[19:55] <OpenSorce> Bad advice, my proc is not supported past 10.04 :-)
[19:55] <OpenSorce> Transmeta Crusoe TC5800 proc, 256mb ram
[19:56] <evilbetty> i'll make it ontopic tho, when i install fail2ban and reboot, my ubuntu server edition never comes up again, if i remove fail2ban from the startup services my ubuntu box doesn't die
[19:56] <gordonjcp> OpenSorce: sounds like you might want to try some other distro then
[19:56] <evilbetty> happened 2x so i doubt its coincidence, and as its a VPS i lost all access to it
[19:56] <gordonjcp> OpenSorce: you could get something like buildroot and roll your own embedded-ish environment for it
[19:56] <gogeta1> gordonjcp: who what where
[19:57] <OpenSorce> Bah... been swearing by Ubuntu since I gave up making my own distros with LFS... I may try DSL
[19:57] <gordonjcp> gogeta1: hm?
[19:57] <willdabeast> Is there a way to see all my processes running? Ubuntu is running very glitchy
[19:57] <gogeta1> OpenSorce: do what hua
[19:57] <evilbetty> and its not iptables blocking, its actually ubuntu not booting fully, but without real access i cannot see what happens
[19:57] <Linkandzelda> willdabeast: use top command or isntall htop?
[19:58] <OpenSorce> gogeta1, LFS? Linux From Scratch? May be before your time :-)
[19:58] <gogeta1> OpenSorce: so its not ok
[19:58] <gogeta1> no
[19:58] <evilbetty> ps aux > textfile, and then take ur time to read the textfile?
[19:58] <gogeta1> OpenSorce: came in halfway in the convo
[19:59] <gogeta1> OpenSorce: so your trying to do a lfs ubuntu?
[19:59] <evilbetty> ah well, i got offtopic remarks, but noone does even the answer to respond on my ontopic issue :)
[19:59] <OpenSorce> gogeta1, No worries, I was trying to downgrade from 10.04 on this tablet with Transmeta Crusoe TC5800 proc, 256mb ram
[19:59] <OpenSorce> gogeta1, I've been assured that the earlier distros will not run any faster so I'll leave it alone
[20:00] <gogeta1> OpenSorce: may i suggest bodhi linux for that
[20:00] <evilbetty> i probably shouldnt be saying it in this channel, but instead of trying to make ubuntu work faster isn't it easier using debian?
[20:00] <evilbetty> it looks and feels like ubnutu but is faster
[20:00] <gogeta1> OpenSorce: well unity is a resoruse hog
[20:00] <OpenSorce> Still runs 5 times faster than Windows did. Yeah I've been looking at bohi
[20:00] <Kartagis> !xen
[20:00] <bazhang> lets get back on topic please
[20:00] <OpenSorce> *bodhi
[20:00] <Linkandzelda> much admit, debian is blazing fast, sorry for this off topic remark though xD
[20:00] <OpenSorce> gogeta1, Using Lubuntu 10.04 on it atm
[20:00] <gogeta1> OpenSorce: it uses e17 fast and nice
[20:00] <tella> hi
[20:01] <evilbetty> but seriously since the topic was fail2ban when i came in did other ppl notice ubuntu server not booting fully anymore after installing fail2ban and leaving it in startup services?
[20:01] <evilbetty> 12.04 that is
[20:01] <gogeta1> OpenSorce: they use here own softwhere composting rather then use slow cpu falllbacks 12.10 uses
[20:01] <evilbetty> if i remove fail2ban from startupservices after install and before reboot everything goes fine, but if not i loose the box completely
[20:02] <OpenSorce> Just such a pain to put anything on this tablet. No removable media drives, will not boot from USB... Netboot worked after several attempts though :-)
[20:02] <gogeta1> OpenSorce: wile still being nearly as light as lxde
[20:02] <bazhang> gogeta1, thats enough
[20:02] <gogeta1> OpenSorce: outch
[20:02] <OpenSorce> I'm gonna see if they have a Netboot iso for Bodhi
[20:02] <squeezed> is there an Atheros mini-PCI 802.11 G/N wifi card that is known to work with 12.xx
[20:03] <evilbetty> anyway have fun im sure i'll find a chan without ircgestapo
[20:03] <OpenSorce> Ouch, bodhi doesn't even have a channel here that I can see...
[20:03] <gogeta1> OpenSorce: its based on ubuntu
[20:03] <wilee-nilee> squeezed, The is a certified wifi card wiki, but it does not have every one that will work.
[20:03] <wilee-nilee> there*
[20:04] <OpenSorce> Well that's encouraging...
[20:04] <bazhang> gogeta1, and its not supported here, thus offtopic. please take it to PM with OpenSorce
[20:04] <gogeta1> OpenSorce: its like a base install with a wm and a few basics
[20:04] <Evdb> hey guys I have a dumb question: I know ls displays contant of directory, but what does ls -l do?
[20:04] <Linkandzelda> so I'm getting the weirdest behaviour. I booted the 12.10 live cd and selected try ubuntu without installing. and it gives me a flashing "_" after hanging for about a minute
[20:05] <wilee-nilee> OpenSorce, #bodhilinux
[20:05] <squeezed> wilee-nilee, I was looking for 1st hand reports cause I used that wiki to pick an intel card, but it has regression bugs in 12.xx
[20:05] <OpenSorce> bazhang, so sorry for the off-topic :-P
[20:05] <Evdb> *content is what I meant
[20:05] <OpenSorce> wilee-nilee, thanks :-)
[20:05] <wilee-nilee> squeezed, Ah well you will get spanked for polling, just a heads up.
[20:06] <Evdb> I know ls displays content of directory, but what does ls -l do?
[20:06] <jrib> Evdb: it displays the contents with some extra information.  « info ls » to learn more
[20:06] <rolling><PHONE_NUMBER>002525	 02/14 	114	 RALUCA DUDAS 	ADDRESS	 CITY 	state	 zip code	 ROMANIA
[20:07] <yeats> Evdb: -l is "long" listing - see 'man ls'
[20:07] <squeezed> the vendor I bought from is willing to exchange for another card... so can I find something that works? ...or do I wait ands see if bugs several years old get fixed?
[20:07] <Evdb> jrib yeats Thanks guys ;) What in general do the extra letters after a command do?
[20:08] <paladinn> hello, how is the best method or tutorial to send e-mail in ubuntu for a dummie ?
[20:08] <jrib> Evdb: they're options.  They modify the behavior in some way usually
[20:08] <jrib> Evdb: it's like the "preferences" window in firefox except for the command line
[20:08] <Evdb> jrib Thaaaanks ;)
[20:08] <Evdb> jrib Ah k! Great :)
[20:09] <ElixirVitae> Is there any place where I can learn in-depth information about disk partitioning?
[20:11] <wilee-nilee> paladinn, sending a email is the same for all OS's basically.
[20:12] <py_can> I cannot login to my ubuntu anymore. After trying to login I get a blackscreen for 2seconds and then it goes back to the login prompt. I'm under a guest account now
[20:12] <py_can> adding a new user didnt work
[20:13] <defaultro_> what tool can i use to spike cpu? I'm testing something
[20:13] <py_can> as in, I get the same thing
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> py_can: how much free space do your partitions have?
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> defaultro_: system monitor is in dash
[20:14] <py_can> ActionParsnip: more than enough i'd say
[20:14] <py_can> how to check in the guest acc?
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> py_can: run:  df -h
[20:14] <py_can> ActionParsnip: 114 gb avi
[20:15] <funch> any hardware related help channels here ?
[20:15] <Main-User> thanx guys you've been a lot of help
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> py_can: do you have a separate patition for /home ?
[20:15] <bazhang> funch, ##hardware
[20:15] <defaultro_> i don't have gui
[20:15] <py_can> ActionParsnip: i dont think so
[20:15] <py_can> note im under a guest acc atm
[20:15] <py_can> and my regular home dir is encrypted
[20:16] <lahwran> anyone familiar with this error? I got it after building psensors to add the ATI support: (psensor:1945): Gtk-ERROR **: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported
[20:16] <lahwran> then it dumps core
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> py_can: i've not used encryptfs, maybe others can help
[20:17] <fusk> how does on list a diretory ?
[20:17] <torontoyes> I installed ndiswrapper and loaded a driver.  As a result, my system hangs on boot.  Is there anything i can do from the live cd to uninstall ndiswrapper?
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> fusk: ls
[20:17] <torontoyes> fusk: list a directory?  y[ou mean ls?
[20:17] <py_can> ActionParsnip: in my last session i accidentally removed gnome-panel.. then switched to ubuntu 2d and in that session i reinstalled gnome-panel because i lost my unity @ login prompt. from there reinstalled gnome-panel and fiddled with nvidia display settings which made both my screens black
[20:17] <py_can> then i went into tty1 and killed lightdm, restarted it. now i cant get into it anymore
[20:18] <fusk> ActionParsnip, thank you.
[20:18] <torontoyes> Anyone help with Ndiswrapper?
[20:18] <trism> lahwran: you can't link both gtk2 and gtk3 libs into a binary (as for how it happened, hard to know without seeing how you modified psensors)
[20:18] <Benkinooby> hi, i can run /sbin/ifconfig but i can not run ifconfig. where do i have to add the PATH?
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> Benkinooby: export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
[20:19] <Benkinooby> ActionParsnip: will that be permanent?
[20:19] <lahwran> trism: I didn't modify it, just did configure options
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> Benkinooby: you'll need to add it in ~/.bashrc      what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[20:20] <svspl> Benkinooby, if you put if in /etc/profile or so
[20:21] <Benkinooby> ActionParsnip: precise ... i did a minimal setup with fluxbox - it's not a default setup. why?
[20:21] <Benkinooby> svspl: thank you - i will follow ActionParsnip advice and add it to ,bashrc
[20:21] <torontoyes> ActionParsnip: is there a way to uninstall ndiswrapper from live cd?
[20:21] <Linkandzelda> damn guys none of my macs are booting the live CD, anything i can do? ;-;
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> torontoyes: sure, i'd use a wired connection. Or you can grab the debs online and install them
[20:22] <wols> !mac | Linkandzelda
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> Benkinooby: I'd have thought it would be default
[20:22] <Evdb> Guys what does the 'dpkg' command do?
[20:22] <wols> Evdb: it installs software
[20:22] <Evdb> wols what's the difference with apt-get
[20:23] <defaultro_> stress tool worked great!
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> Evdb: installs, removes and queries the packages
[20:23] <torontoyes> ActionParsnip: I had no problem  installing it,.. but after install of the driver with ndiswrapper - i, my system hangs on boot
[20:23] <willdabeast> Unity is slightly glitchy for me right now, anything I can do to make it smooth out?
[20:23] <wols> Evdb: apt-get downloads software incl. dependencies and does conflict resolution then calls dpkg
[20:23] <Linkandzelda> wols: none of it works, it boots the disc and shows the menu, i select try it black screens or i select install and it black screens
[20:23] <torontoyes> ActionParsnip: thats why I booted with live cd to recover the system
[20:23] <aaro> *totally offtopic*: what properties you except from a chat client?
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> Evdb: dpkg does the installing work, apt-get does the dependancy matching and so forth
[20:24] <Evdb> wols Hmm I don't understand it fully but I'm a real beginner :s ActionParsnip
[20:24] <bazhang> aaro, #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:24] <aaro> sorry, didn't know  but thanks for that too :)
[20:24] <Benkinooby> ActionParsnip: thought so too... but since my system is far aways from default you shouldn't mind it that much... after all it is solved now. how can i set the modded .bashrc to action?
[20:24] <bcuraboy> hi guys.what can i do about this?   Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page: The NVIDIA X driver on bcuraboy:0.0 is not new enough to support the nvidia-settings Display Configuration page.
[20:25] <wols> bcuraboy: dpkg -l |grep nvidia
[20:26] <bcuraboy> as sudo?
[20:26] <Thirtysixway> Is there an irc channel for ubuntu cloud?
[20:27] <fusk> How do you create a file in etc/pm/sleep.d ? rightclicking and create doesn't seem to be an option
[20:27] <willdabeast> Unity is slightly glitchy for me right now, anything I can do to make it smooth out?
[20:27] <Linkandzelda> "Choose you language and and select "Try Ubuntu". This won't make any changes to your Mac." <- but nowhere does it mention that this gives me a black screen
[20:27] <bcuraboy> wols, may i pm you?
[20:28] <wols> !pastebin
[20:28] <bcuraboy> ok
[20:28] <bartart3d> hi all, I've got a problem to get pidgin installed here...
[20:29] <bartart3d> software center keeps asking for a dvd, while I don't have one...
[20:29] <bcuraboy> wols, http://pastebin.com/1iyaVJHE
[20:29] <bazhang> bartart3d, so remove the DVD from the sources.list
[20:29] <bartart3d> I did
[20:29] <torontoyes> Linkandzelda: after using ndiswrapper with a driver for my wna3100 wireless adapter, My system hangs on boot.  I have booted into a live cd.  From Live cd, is there a way to disable the driver and uninstall ndiswraper
[20:29] <bazhang> and apt-get update bartart3d
[20:29] <OerHeks> fusk touch /path/to/file
[20:30] <bartart3d> doesn't help
[20:30] <Linkandzelda> torontoyes: not sure why you are asking me, i wouldnt know, but if you can get into a terminal like single user mode you can do anything, i would presume
[20:30] <bazhang> bartart3d, paste.ubuntu.com your sources.list
[20:30] <nelson777br> is there a unity specific channel ?
[20:31] <torontoyes> Linkandzelda: the recovery options I have don't allow write access..
[20:31] <willdabeast> Unity is slightly glitchy for me right now, anything I can do to make it smooth out?
[20:31] <fusk> thanks OerHeks
[20:31] <Satorisanja> Hallo
[20:31] <Linkandzelda> torontoyes: i see, but what if you boot into single user mode from your hard disc and not the cd?
[20:31] <torontoyes> Linkandzelda: how do I do that?
[20:32] <torontoyes> at the moment. I am in live cd with access to the drive
[20:32] <PK> 1738 nicks? That's totally crazy man
[20:32] <Linkandzelda> torontoyes: thats something i dont know, as i never did it, but it involves adding some line to the bootup of grub, ive only done it once on a centos server
[20:32] <torontoyes> Linkandzelda: understood.. will try that and let you  know
[20:33] <torontoyes> Linkandzelda: thank you
[20:33] <bartart3d> wait a sec, I got it, thanks.. I removed the dvd's from the software sources, but there still was a line in sources.list, that's weird
[20:33] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, Specificities are helpful. ;)
[20:34] <fusk> OerHeks, how do you edit that file, saving with leafpad doesn't work
[20:34] <Evdb> what does the -e do in echo -en?
[20:35] <nelson777br> how can I make unity immediately recognize the changes I made with "gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist" command ?
[20:35] <OerHeks> fusk, outside your ~/home you need sudo to get priv. so ' sudo touch /path/to/file" and edit " gksudo gedit /path/to/file"
[20:35] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee, my man, whats up, well for example, the way you can scroll up and down on your mousewheel on unity and it does that smooth animation. It doesn't do that very successfully any more, meaning it seems like the framerate is low.
[20:36] <fusk> thank you
[20:37] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, I'm not sure I can help I use gnome 3 myself, and am in W7 at the moment. ;)
[20:37] <trism> nelson777br: you could try killing unity-panel-service, but I would just log out/back in myself
[20:37] <cellardoor> Hi there. I have a brand new Zoostorm laptop, it's a great machine except that for some reason WiFi is not working... I can't turn it on with the Fn-F11 Hotkey, and it isn't even registered in ifconfig. Help would be very appreciated.
[20:38] <Linkandzelda> This is the thread I posted to request support, if anyone wants to check it out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12331535#post12331535
[20:39] <Evdb> I really don't understand what de 'e' does in 'echo -e'
[20:39] <OerHeks> man echo
[20:39] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee, mk well there's the problem, ubuntu just crashed due to the x server I believe. Are you very familiar with nvidia?
[20:39] <wilee-nilee> cellardoor, Try these two commands and see if anything shows  lspci | grep -i wireless
[20:39] <wilee-nilee>   lspci | grep Broadcom
[20:40] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, Not really I have never had to mess with them.
[20:40] <cellardoor> wilee-nilee, thanks for responding. Nothing returned for either commands.
[20:41] <fusk> i'm trying to edit a file in etc/pm/sleep.d but gsudo gedit doesn't work.
[20:41] <Evdb> oh cmon
[20:42] <BluesKaj> fusk , gksudo
[20:42] <willdabeast> Is anyone very familiar with Nvidia X Server Settings?
[20:42] <fusk> BluesKaj, exactly, didn't work.
[20:43] <OpenSorce> willdabeast, a bit. What's up?
[20:43] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/echo.1.html   <------ Evdb
[20:44] <BluesKaj> fusk, /etc/pm/sleep.d
[20:44] <willdabeast> opensorce, well two things, 1 is I just got logged off automatically with what seemed to be an xserver issue. 2, I am having problems with Unity, I did mess around with compiz and I hope it's not that.
[20:44] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee, you may be able to help with the second part of ^
[20:45] <Evdb> bazhang what is meant with interpretation of backslash escapes?
[20:45] <fusk> BluesKaj, yes, that's where the file is stored.
[20:45] <OpenSorce> willdabeast, using a driver you got from Nvidia's website or one from the repository?
[20:45] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, I would say that messing with compiz can cause problems, ou can reset it to stock though.
[20:45] <BluesKaj> willdabeast, did you create a nvidia-xconfig file ?
[20:46] <willdabeast> Opensorce - yea I have the correct driver
[20:46] <willdabeast> BluesKaj I did a while ago yes
[20:46] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, I can't say if it is the root of the problem though.
[20:46] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee yea I know I reset unity in terminal, could that have been the issue?
[20:46] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, What release is this 12.10
[20:46] <willdabeast> because at one point unity and the above panel didn't even show up
[20:46] <willdabeast> 12.04
[20:47] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, You want to run that command from a alt-f2 not the terminal.
[20:48] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee ahhh, so do you think that is the root of the problem? or at least for the unity issue?
[20:49] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, as well there is compiz --replace to reset it.  Not sure as far as all the problems
[20:49] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee ok I think that should work, should both commands be done in alt f2? or does compiz not matter
[20:49] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, I gave up on unity and compiz about a year ago.
[20:50] <fusk> i'm trying to edit a file in etc/pm/sleep.d but gksudo gedit doesn't work
[20:50] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee what are you using now? docky or something?
[20:50] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, gnome 3 and cairo dock
[20:50] <OpenSorce> fusk why not do sudo nano /etc/pm/sleep.d from a terminal?
[20:50] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, the gnome-shell
[20:51] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee hmm I'd be willing to try that out, Unity still feels like it's in beta to me.
[20:52] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, Honestly I use synapse to find apps usually and the cairo-dock for the stuff I open often.
[20:53] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee yea I do have synapse, It's just sitting there right now though haha, wouldn't mind using it for once.
[20:53] <fusk> OpenSorce, how does the options work, i tried typing ^o but it didn't save it.
[20:55] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee any place in particular to find gnome 3? I think at this point you already know how new I am to this stuff
[20:55] <bcuraboy> hi guys.what can i do about this?   Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page: The NVIDIA X driver on bcuraboy:0.0 is not new enough to support the nvidia-settings Display Configuration page.
[20:55] <willdabeast> bcuraboy do you have the correct driver activated?
[20:56] <bcuraboy> yes,i'm using the recommended from the system
[20:56] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, If you want to install it, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell  you also get the gnome fallback with kit as well the pseudo gnome 2 desktop as a choice in the login drop down
[20:56] <bcuraboy> when i go to additional drivers i've installed the recommended
[20:56] <wols> bcuraboy: you have mixed packages it seems. which ubuntu are you running?
[20:56] <wilee-nilee> it*
[20:56] <bcuraboy> 12.04
[20:57] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, Unity actually sits on top of gnome 3 so the shell is just a few more pckgs.
[20:57] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee well apparently I already have it *facepalm*
[20:57] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee haha yea I guess I'm good then, just need cairo and to get rid of the excess.
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> bcuraboy: tried:   sudo nvidia-xconfig
[20:59] <bcuraboy> done it now.should i logout or reboot?
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> bcuraboy: i'd reboot, if you get no disaply then boot to root recovery mode and delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:00] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee any particular way I should remove unity and compiz? I feel like everything I try and get rid of on here is like removing an antivirus program on windows.
[21:00] <bcuraboy> ok.just tell me if necessary,how to get in root recovery
[21:00] <nconrads_> Upgrading 12.04 to 12.10 and getting stuck on flashplugin-installer.  Killing job puts system into position where it supposedly requires 'dpkg --configure -a'. Any method available to prevent Ubuntu from trying to get flashplugin?
[21:00] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, I would not remove them they are rather small, and doing this is just a problem waiting to happen with dependencies.
[21:01] <fusk> i'm trying to edit a file in etc/pm/sleep.d but gksudo gedit doesn't work
[21:01] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee ok well I guess I will just reset them then like you said, btw cairo is awesome great call.
[21:01] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, I like the cairo-dock as far as docks go.
[21:02] <hayate> hello,
[21:03] <OpenSorce> fusk, ^x and it will ask you to save
[21:03] <fusk> OpenSorce, didn't work
[21:04] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee so is there anyway to at least make unity not visible? I'd rather not have 2 docks
[21:04] <dr_willis> that means ctrl x  fusk..... ;-)
[21:04] <OpenSorce> fusk yeah, that means press and hold ctrl and hit x one time
[21:04] <dr_willis> unity panel can autohide
[21:05] <hayate> someone help me, i always fail to install, with error E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open(2: No such file or directory)
[21:05] <fusk> dr_willis,  that worked. thanks
[21:05] <hayate> dr_willis: help me
[21:05] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, Try the gnome shell that is where I use the cairo-dock.
[21:05] <torontoyes> Does anyone know what this means?
[21:05] <torontoyes> fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
[21:05] <torontoyes> Password: _
[21:05] <hayate> wilee-nilee: help me
[21:05] <OpenSorce> fusk, sorry man I thought you knew what ^ meant. My bad :-P

[21:05] <dr_willis> hayate:  with?
[21:06] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee ah so you mean at login just changing there, gotcha. Thanks bud :]
[21:06] <wilee-nilee> hayate, Sure, seek professional help. ;)
[21:06] <torontoyes> My system halts on boot with the following prompt
[21:06] <tata> what is, for my  video driver "debugging symbols" ?
[21:06] <hayate> someone help me, i always fail to install, with error E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open(2: No such file or directory) dr_willis wilee-nilee
[21:07] <fusk> OpenSorce, no problem :)
[21:07] <torontoyes> dr_willis: Any idea what this means on boot.  As my system hangs here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324848/
[21:07] <dr_willis> c
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> torontoyes: do you use encryptfs
[21:07] <torontoyes> ActionParsnip: I don't think so
[21:07] <hayate> dr_willis wilee-nilee: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpk), are you root ?
[21:08] <hayate> dr_willis: thats the problem
[21:08] <dr_willis> hayate: and are you using sudo?
[21:08] <hayate> dr_willis: yes, even using root user, i can't install
[21:09] <torontoyes> ActionParsnip: Any ideas?  I got this message after using recovery to clean some files
[21:09] <dr_willis> is there a /var/lib/dpkg  ?
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | hayate
[21:11] <wilee-nilee> hayate, Personally I wont help you, your nick is never the same and I believe you are running backtrack and continually use this channel.
[21:11] <torontoyes> wilee-nilee: Do you what it means when the system hangs at this point? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324848/
[21:12] <drewh> hey everyone! I'm having an issue I THINK with Unity. I was trying to get my NVIDIA thing to display my two monitors as separate X screens (rather than twinview) and now my UI is a bit weird. some of the chrome is coming up black and the alt+tab is not pretty
[21:12] <drewh> Ubuntu 12.04
[21:12] <drewh> animations are not working, etc.
[21:13] <wilee-nilee> torontoyes, AS a guess it looks like a fsck was run, is it asking for a password?
[21:13] <torontoyes> yes
[21:13] <torontoyes> wilee-nilee: I typed password, lol, but nothing
[21:13] <wilee-nilee> torontoyes, Ah, not sure really.
[21:13] <hayate> tadi petunjuknya wilee-nilee, no .. i'm not using backtrack
[21:14] <torontoyes> wilee-nilee: is there a way to skip this.. whatever this is?
[21:15] <torontoyes> what I mean is.. how do I see why this is coming up and stop whatever this is so that it skips it?
[21:15] <hayate> dr_willis: thanks, i would try that
[21:15] <torontoyes> wilee-nilee: is there a way to skip this in the boot process?
[21:15] <wilee-nilee> torontoyes, I would not know really I have not had this problem, I generally know what I have had to do, and I keep my OS's cloned and in good shape and don't mess with problems past the time it takes to reload a clone.
[21:15] <torontoyes> wilee-nilee: lol
[21:16] <torontoyes> Understood
[21:16] <torontoyes> Thanks anyway
[21:16] <wilee-nilee> sure, ;)
[21:17] <drewh> umm it looks like unity 3D stopped working, can anyone tell me how to enable unity 3d?
[21:17] <wilee-nilee> drewh, You have any back leading to this state?
[21:17] <mpavel> anyone have any idea what to do if only guest account is enabled on new install?
[21:18] <wilee-nilee> mpavel, are you sure what is the evidence of this?
[21:18] <drewh> wilee-nilee: back leading to this state?
[21:19] <tipocomico> hi can someone help me? just installed 12.04 lts, and system freezes after 5 to 10 min. error is as follows acpi error: method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.VGA_.AF03]
[21:19] <mpavel> it's the only account displayed at login screen
[21:19] <drewh> I changed some settings in my NVIDIA x service and now it appears to have stopped working
[21:19] <drewh> it was working fine up until now
[21:19] <mpavel> wilee-nilee: switched to ctrl+alt+f1 to terminal tried logging in as defined user in setup, no luck, tried root, no luck
[21:19] <wilee-nilee> drewh, In other words have you done anything that has led you to not having the animations, like graphic drivers messing with compiz....etc
[21:19] <drewh> I was messing with compiz, but I've reverted that
[21:20] <wilee-nilee> mpavel, Is this a direct install or a remote?
[21:20] <drewh> I only changed some key bindings in compiz
[21:20] <drewh> I did turn some plugins on then off...
[21:20] <wilee-nilee> drewh, Compiz is known to not follow fixes always logout then back in or reboot.
[21:21] <mpavel> wilee-nilee: direct install, but with problems
[21:21] <drewh> I've rebooted a number of times
[21:21] <TecnoFes> hello
[21:21] <mpavel> wilee-nilee: tried to install (lubuntu 12.10) several times, from USB & CD and no luck. then I booted from live CD and ran Boot Repair, which allowed me to FINALLY boot the system up (which I'm using now) but only from the guest account :(
[21:22] <wilee-nilee> mpavel, If it were me I would just install again trying to fix it will take longer probably, but I just go with time spent generally against fixing
[21:22] <wilee-nilee> mpavel, This a fairly new computer possibly using a UEFI bios as far as the boot problem.
[21:23] <mpavel> wilee-nilee: yeah, but I already went through the install process 5 times :(( I might try something else like Linux Mint - it's my dad's old computer that I wanted to install something light
[21:24] <wilee-nilee> mpavel, Mint is ubuntu in drag basically, with way less support just a heads up.
[21:24] <Linkandzelda> how does ubuntu handle multiple monitors?
[21:24] <Linkandzelda> or rather "how well" ?
[21:24] <mpavel> wilee-nilee: ok, thanks, I'm off, getting late and no more patience to solve this, thanks for your help and a good day/night ahead! :)
[21:25] <wilee-nilee> mpavel, YOu might run the bootscript so we can see whats there, the bootrepiar generates a bootinfo url
[21:25] <drewh> Linkandzelda: I'm running two monitors with little issue
[21:25] <TecnoFes> ?
[21:25] <mpavel> wilee-nilee: I have the Boot Repair pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324811/
[21:25] <Linkandzelda> drewh: little issue? means there is a small issue?
[21:26] <wilee-nilee> mpavel, Thanks hold on
[21:27] <drewh> Linkandzelda: I haven't had issues with it
[21:27] <simplepro> How do I convert .mdf
[21:29] <iceroot> simplepro: mdf2iso
[21:30] <wilee-nilee> mpavel, I would post that script on the ubuntu forums with boot repair in the header, the maker of that app is there daily and a handful of regulars that know this stuff as well, I see a few anomalies but this needs one who knows more. ;)
[21:30] <simplepro> y thank u
[21:30] <torontoyes> what file do I edit in order to skip certain things in my boot process?
[21:31] <mpavel> wilee-nilee: ok, thank you again for your help!
[21:31] <wilee-nilee> mpavel, If you do the forum make sure the script posted represents the set exactly.
[21:31] <wilee-nilee> setup*
[21:32] <mpavel> wilee-nilee: ok, I'll make sure - if I retry setup I will be a different one for sure
[21:32] <paul__> hello
[21:32] <wilee-nilee> mpavel, cool, hope you get it working.
[21:35] <simplepro> where does mdf2iso put its output
[21:36] <drewh> all right, so I'm pretty sure that somehow I'm stuck in unity 2d
[21:36] <drewh> how do I re-enable unity 3d?
[21:36] <ekrem_2133e> hi all! :)
[21:37] <drewh> hi ekrem_2133e
[21:37] <ekrem_2133e> I need to ask something about GRUB.
[21:37] <simplepro> hi :)
[21:38] <lonewulf> Does anyone know how to integrate bitdefneder into nautilus on Ubuntu 12.04
[21:39] <|Anthony|> I have a logitech c270h which has a resolution of upto 1280x720. I'm having trouble with it atm. cheese can't open it. camorama can but it doesn't get full resolution.
[21:39] <|Anthony|> any thoughts on this?
[21:39] <blackshirt> hello, i have a problem adding new network connection within network manager applet, with broadband connection, with i try to apply, window box appeared with this error: Failed to add/activate connection,  (32) Not authorized to control networking.
[21:39] <ekrem_2133e> MBR is installig on the first sector of HDD, right? Also GRUB is installing there too. I mena when we install Ubuntu with GRUB, it removes the MBR?
[21:39] <blackshirt> hello, i have a problem adding new network connection within network manager applet, with broadband connection, with i try to apply, window box appeared with this error: Failed to add/activate connection,  (32) Not authorized to control networking.  anyone can help me ?
[21:39] <|Anthony|> lonewulf, use clamav instead of those 3rd party av
[21:40] <blackshirt> hello
[21:40] <lonewulf> jantony is clamav really better then bitdefender?
[21:40] <guntbert> !repeat | blackshirt
[21:41] <blackshirt> guntbert: can you help me ?
[21:41] <|Anthony|> lonewulf, idk about better, but it is good. realize though that av protection can only protect against known viruses.
[21:41] <guntbert> blackshirt: sadly no (at least at the moment)
[21:42] <blackshirt> guntbert: thanks, maybe some suggestions
[21:42] <blackshirt> :D
[21:42] <lonewulf> |Anthony| , I realize that I am also wondering whether or not I am just being over protective.
[21:43] <|Anthony|> lonewulf, meh... i tried bitdefender tbh and it was not very helpful. clam was able to find things that that didn't
[21:43] <|Anthony|> same is true when doing customer clean ups...
[21:44] <|Anthony|> i've use mse, notron, bitdefender, avira or w/e that is. none were able to find things that clam did
[21:44] <|Anthony|> not false positives mind you
[21:45] <lonewulf> |Anthony|, good point and as for your cheese problem, I had a difficult time trying to get my webcam working with it. I ran an upgrade to 12.04 and it works now.
[21:45] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee, do you know much about changing the icons on cairo? Essentially I wanted to just replace the program 'guake' with the terminal program but leaving the terminal icon there.
[21:46] <|Anthony|> lonewulf, i'm already on 12.04
[21:46] <|Anthony|> :/
[21:46] <wilee-nilee> willdabeast, I forget if I did. ;)
[21:46] <|Anthony|> idk, it just wont go into full hd
[21:46] <lonewulf> |Anthony|, have you tried re installing cheese?
[21:46] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee haha alright, not that important thanks.
[21:46] <|Anthony|> lonewulf, of course ;)
[21:48] <TobiasTheViking> i'm having this weird issue after upgrading to 12.10 where xorg will go to 87% cpu on a core2duo 2ghz doing nothing
[21:48] <TobiasTheViking> by nothing i mean, one terminal(9 tabs) and one system monitor is all that is launched
[21:48] <TobiasTheViking> it jumps a bit, at 12% now, but was 87% when i joined. and gives a quite noticable lag.
[21:48] <lonewulf> |Anthony|, I am sorry I could not help, I am however enrolling in a computer class at my college and I will be focusing on Linux and programming, However right now my knowledge is limited.
[21:50] <Rounin> Hello! I've upgraded to... Quantal with kernel version 3.2.0-18-generic, and now I can't mount FAT filesystems because NLS support isn't enabled in the kernel
[21:50] <willdabeast> wilee-nilee, have you tried cairo-dock 3.1?
[21:50] <Rounin> "Codepage 437 is missing" it says
[21:50] <Rounin> In dmesg
[21:51] <Linkandzelda> im at my wits end now, both my macs refuse to boot the live cd even with rEFIt installed
[21:51] <iceroot> Rounin: you are not using the latest kernel for 12.04
[21:51] <iceroot> !info linux-image precise
[21:52] <iceroot> Rounin: <IP_ADDRESS>-32
[21:52] <Rounin> Well, shouldn't it work with all kernels, iceroot?
[21:52] <iceroot> Rounin: yes
[21:52] <pangur> How do I go about finding and installing  a C79 [GeForce 9100M G]  please?
[21:52] <iceroot> Rounin: but its always good when facing bugs to install updates first
[21:53] <pangur> How do I go about finding and installing  a C79 [GeForce 9100M G] nvidia driver  please? is what I meant to say.
[21:53] <dr_willis> pangur:  the nvidia-current packatge/drivers dident work?
[21:53] <pangur> I had win7/ubuntu and now only have ubuntu.
[21:54]  * dr_willis isent sure what windows has to do with it...
[21:55] <pangur> That provides a link to several drivers quoting £££ dr_willis.  Is that what I should expect to happen?
[21:55] <pangur> nvidia-current tab
[21:56] <pangur> gives me links to non-free drivers
[21:56] <autojack> can anyone help me out with an issue I'm having with cloud-config in an ec2 instance? I'm trying to pass in an additional apt source and specifying a filename for it, but the file is never created. I can't figure out why.
[21:56] <autojack> and I think this used to work.
[21:57] <guntbert> autojack: I guess #ubuntu-server will be better suited
[21:57] <pangur> When I had my windows installed, dr_willis, I used to be offered to activate nvidia driver/s.
[21:57] <autojack> hmm, I didn't know that existed. OK.
[21:58] <dr_willis> pangur:  the nvidia-current package in the repos installs the nvidia drivers here for me... i dont know what  links you are refering to.. or how windows would be affecting your linux drivers at all.
[21:59] <lukasz_> hi all, does anyone know if there is a working package for the ubuntu one indicator for 12.10?
[22:02] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/210400/how-to-install-ubuntu-one-indicator-in-12-10
[22:02] <bennis> hey, i'm trying to make a bootable usb on windows using the latest unetbootin... I've formatted my drive to fat32, the windows standard. It's not booting... What is windows doing wrong?
[22:03] <dr_willis> !info indicator-sync
[22:03] <dr_willis> bennis:  the pendrivelinux web site has alterantives to unetbootin that may work for you
[22:03] <guntbert> bennis: firts question: did you set up booting from USB? (in BIOS)?
[22:04] <hhhzzzarn> bennis, have you activated the usb boot option for your computer?
[22:04] <bennis> gunbert, indeed i have
[22:04] <hhhzzzarn> bennis, is the booting option above the hard disk option?
[22:04] <bennis> dr_willis, the purpose of this is to display to a nonprofit how linux can be made to look like windows
[22:04] <hhhzzzarn> bennis, you have to move your usb booting option ahead of hard disk in the boot order.
[22:04] <bennis> hhhzzzarn yes, the bios is giving some "remove all disks then push any button to reboot" error
[22:05] <bennis> hhhzzzarn guntbert asked that same thing, i'm pretty sure
[22:05] <guntbert> bennis: 2nd question: does it boot from the stick at all (with errors) ?
[22:05] <hhhzzzarn> bennis, I am not familiar with that error.
[22:05] <dr_willis> sounds like the bios is not seeing the OS on the stick.
[22:05] <bennis> guntbert No, i'm getting a "remove all disks then push any button to reboot" error
[22:06] <dr_willis> test the stick in other pc's try alternative tools to unetbootin.
[22:06] <bennis> dr_willis yeah, but is it a format issue or do i just need a *nix box to do it properly? i assume the partition doesn't have the boot flag for some reason
[22:06] <guntbert> bennis: that message comes at the end of a live CD/USB session
[22:06] <bennis> dr_willis i don't have admin priviledges on this machine
[22:06] <dr_willis> bennis:   you can image the iso file straight to the flash if you wanted to.
[22:06] <bennis> guntbert, couldn't tell you why i'm getting it then
[22:07] <hhhzzzarn> bennis: at this point, you can try "universalusbinstaller" from pendrivelinux.org
[22:08] <hhhzzzarn> what is the shortcut to exist fullscreen window mode again (from memory)? I am stuck :)
[22:08] <bennis> hhhzzzarn: i have no admin rights
[22:08] <bennis> i'll look into it later
[22:09] <guntbert> hhhzzzarn: in what application?
[22:09] <hhhzzzarn> bennis, I don't think you need admin rights since usbinstaller does not install itself
[22:09] <dr_willis> but he may to get teh bootloader written to the flash.
[22:09] <Steelcased_Sambo> Hello.
[22:09] <hhhzzzarn> guntbert, in xubuntu in general.
[22:10] <guntbert> hhhzzzarn: make xubuntu non-fullscreen? sounds weird :)
[22:11] <Steelcased_Sambo> I downloaded Ubuntu, installed it to my netbook, decided I wanted to go back to Windows and used Darik's Boot and Nuke to get rid of Ubuntu... And now Syslinux Insane Primary (MBR) partition won't allow me to boot from the SD card I have Windows on. I used GParted to get rid of all the partitions on my HDD but it did not work. Can anyone help?
[22:11] <dr_willis> http://www.keyxl.com/aaac887/409/Xfce-Window-Manager-keyboard-shortcuts.htm
[22:12] <hhhzzzarn> guntbert, I click on the window options and choose fullscreen, now I don't see the option icon or the minimize, resize, close buttons.
[22:12] <dr_willis> you use a windows disk/usb/tools to reinstall the windows bootloader to the mbr Steelcased_Sambo
[22:12] <jakup> Hi. My speakers don't mute when I insert headphones, and alsamixer doesn't help... Heelp :)
[22:13] <guntbert> hhhzzzarn: I see - does the list from dr_willis help? ^^^
[22:13] <Steelcased_Sambo> dr_willis - How do I do that? I have a laptop, a netbook and an SD card. I am semi-competent at best.
[22:13] <lazarus_> quick question is there a way to gut ubuntu to connecto to a server that is using web deploy
[22:13] <hhhzzzarn> guntbert, i am looking
[22:14] <jakup> It's possible for me to mute speaker in alsamixer, but I'm installing ubuntu on a friends computer, who is a complete computer retard, so I can't tell her to go into alsamixer everytime she needs to use headphones
[22:14] <dr_willis> Steelcased_Sambo:  people in #windows may be able to suggest some tools.
[22:14] <Steelcased_Sambo> Thank you.
[22:14] <hhhzzzarn> duntbert, yes it did. Thanks dr_willis, could search myself but I could not access my xubuntu menu
[22:15] <T3> does anybody knows the right channel for bonding/vlan tagging doubts?
[22:15] <dr_willis> hhhzzzarn:  i just googled for 'xfce keyboard shortcuts' ;P
[22:15] <guntbert> T3: try ##networking
[22:16] <T3> thanks guntbert
[22:16] <wilee-nilee> Steelcased_Sambo, When you use boot and nuke you need to make a new partition table.
[22:17] <Steelcased_Sambo> How do I do that?
[22:17] <Steelcased_Sambo> So I should reinstall DBAN to the sd card and d-ban again?
[22:17] <wilee-nilee> Steelcased_Sambo, You can do that with gparted, but you are just installing windows right?
[22:17] <hhhzzzarn> steelcased_sambo, you can make a new partition table from ubuntu live cd using gparted.
[22:18] <Steelcased_Sambo> O.k... So put Unbut on SD card?
[22:18] <hhhzzzarn> but you don't have to install ubuntu, just the partition table and empy space.
[22:18] <Steelcased_Sambo> Can I remove all partitions and achieve the same effect?
[22:18] <pangur> I have found my Software Sources dialog, dr_willis
[22:19] <Steelcased_Sambo> O.k.
[22:19] <Steelcased_Sambo> Putting Ubuntu on the SD card.
[22:19] <rafaelement> hey people.sometimes when i click on something movable(opera speeddial, middleclick in evolution, others) and move it i hear a slight scratching noise.this is disturbing...has anyone heard of it/ can anyone help me with that?
[22:19] <Steelcased_Sambo> Will report back when I'm done.
[22:19] <dr_willis> Steelcased_Sambo:  you need to reinstall the windows mbr to the mbr of the hard disk if you want it to boot windows
[22:19] <Steelcased_Sambo> #windows is dead.
[22:20] <wilee-nilee> Steelcased_Sambo, Cool, I would look up the use of the word sambo it is quote offensive. as well.
