[00:01] <bobweaver> oh woops try this    sudo modprob  nvidia_current
[00:01] <three18ti2> modprobe
[00:01] <bobweaver> thanks three18ti  !
[00:01] <bobweaver> that is it forgot the e
[00:02] <three18ti2> ;)
[00:02] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  ^^
[00:02] <bobweaver> sudo modprobe nvidia
[00:02] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, gotchat
[00:02] <bobweaver> gezz
[00:02]  * bobweaver feels silly
[00:02] <three18ti> yea, I hate it when linux does what I say instead of what I want...
[00:02] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, it says fatal: Module nvidia_current not found.
[00:03] <bobweaver> sudo modprobe nvidia
[00:03] <sssilver> Anyone here using Openbox and having an issue where alt-shift-tab doesn't work?
[00:04] <bobweaver> GabrieleV,  should just go to the next line if so run     lsmod | pastebinit
[00:04] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, it says fatal: Module nvidia_current not found.
[00:04] <bobweaver> er wrong person ^^
[00:04] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  sudo modprobe nvidia          said that ?
[00:04] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, it sure did
[00:05] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, I can turn on webcam if that helps :D
[00:05] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[00:05] <bobweaver> are they installed ?
[00:05] <jeeves_moss> is there a way to extract the e-mail that Thunderbird has cached?  I lost the main drive my e-mail server was living on, and it looks like the ONLY copy I have is the cached copy in Thunderbird
[00:06] <Akiva> Man I hate installing linux for old people, because chances are, they have paid for some stupid cisco based web application that only works in ie6
[00:06] <Akiva> webex, I hate you
[00:06] <Akiva> Now I have to do a dual boot
[00:06] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, what are teh characters after "linux-headers-'uname -r'"  is that correct
[00:06] <bobweaver> nothing
[00:07] <bobweaver> sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[00:07] <bobweaver> that is it
[00:08] <GandalfB> Bobweaver what key is 'uname -r'  as it saying "E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-uname -r"
[00:09] <_r00t_> GandalfB: just do this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates && apt-get update && apt-get install nvidia-current
[00:09] <GandalfB> root, ok
[00:09] <bobweaver> that is not supported ^^
[00:09] <bobweaver> but should work
[00:10] <GandalfB> Bobweaver.... ok safe to do?
[00:10] <_r00t_> GandalfB: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[00:10] <dooml0rd> does ubuntu2d have a hotkey to make a window undecorated+fullscreen
[00:10] <bobweaver> but if you add beta software you might get beta output though that is a good repo
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> GandalfB: i use it. i need it so my gpu can run urban terror
[00:10] <_r00t_> bobweaver: is it beta ? really ?
[00:11] <bobweaver> bleeding edge / beta / whatever you want to call it
[00:11] <fdidh> hey all
[00:12] <_r00t_> bobweaver: it's current 'latest stable'
[00:12] <bobweaver> and nvidia-current is already installed so I guess that one would want to upgrade only
[00:13] <Netbus> hi
[00:13] <bobweaver> _r00t_,  you are correct it is not beta
[00:13] <bobweaver> edgers
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> the beta is 310 if memory serves
[00:14] <bobweaver> 310.19-0ubuntu1~xedgers~raring1
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> boom!
[00:14] <iceroot> WeThePeople: apache and mysql will be started automaticly after they are installed
[00:16] <Netbus> Guake Terminal is AWESOME
[00:17] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, btw should I of mentioned that I'm running 64bit earlier?
[00:17] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, rebooting
[00:17] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  need to get that mod(driver) loaded
[00:18] <GandalfB> how do I do that :O
[00:19] <bobweaver> should be loading auto not sure why not . I would file a bug on that . but that is just me.
[00:19] <GandalfB> whats teh pannel in ui were you set the driver
[00:19] <GandalfB> is there anyway I can force display that pannel?
[00:20] <brandon420> guys
[00:20] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, I can seem to get a file exporer up by creating a folder on desktop
[00:20] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, can I run it form there?
[00:21] <bobweaver> GandalfB,  by adding the ppa that _r00t_  suggested that will then upgrading it should do it,   GandalfB   modprobe loads drivers
[00:22] <GandalfB> I think I set something doddy in one of the display panels settings, from the ui tho.. there was a window (before i had the problem) which listed 5 odd drivers for nvidia.. do what know what pannel that is?
[00:22] <bobweaver> you can reconfigure nvidia_current
[00:23] <bobweaver> sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current
[00:23] <bobweaver> or if you can open terminal with ctrl+alt+t   then try  sudo nvidia-xconfig
[00:24] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, should I reboot arfter reconfigure current?
[00:24] <brandon420> I need to know how to get my internet working... I had this problem the other day, and reset the router. I am at someone elses house and reset the router.
[00:24] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, rebooting
[00:27] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, ok what should I see when I type "sudo nivdia-xconfig"
[00:28] <mgore> sorry..just joined this chat...how far are we on the QA verification point?
[00:28] <GandalfB> Bobweaver, sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current and reboot seemed to make my desktop resoluotion even smaller :P
[00:29] <bobweaver> afkb 20 min

[00:29] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> How can i do a swap?
[00:29] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> i get  swapon failed: Operation not permitted
[00:29] <brandon420> I need to know how to get my internet working... I had this problem the other day, and reset the router. I am at someone elses house and reset the router.
[00:30] <_r00t_> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: sudo swapon -a
[00:30] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ok
[00:30] <monopole> exit
[00:30] <monopole> exit
[00:31] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> swapon: /swapfile1: skipping - it appears to have holes.
[00:32] <_r00t_> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: swapfile ? Should it not be a partition ?
[00:32] <Akiva> how do I mount the cd rom from a live environment? I mounted my ubuntu usb drive, and now I want to burn an iso, but I can't access the cdrom
[00:33] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> how can i swap?
[00:33] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> i was trying an alternative mthod
[00:33] <_r00t_> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: Fair enough .... you followed a procedure like this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/
[00:33] <mercury00> what's the best way to get gpg-agent to cache password?
[00:33] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> yes somewhat _r00t_
[00:34] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> what is the easiest way?
[00:34] <ariados> .net
[00:35] <mercury00> [_-S1L3NC3-_], probably creating a swap partition is best, IF you have a disk with empty space,
[00:36] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> im in a VPS
[00:36] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> so..
[00:36] <ar9> whats the metapackage to install basic x server called?
[00:36] <_r00t_> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: Should work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516004 ....... Ahhhhh IC - you're in a vps :)
[00:36] <mercury00> [_-S1L3NC3-_], hmm, I thought in a VPS you wouldn't need swap at all?
[00:37] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> ok
[00:37] <_r00t_> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: Welcome to Jail .... your turn to throw the dice
[00:37] <mercury00> [_-S1L3NC3-_], I mean, isn't that for the host env?
[00:37] <willbeeler> hi everyone... I installed ubuntu on another new harddrive and the left the previous installation on the first hard drive alone. Nothing has changed on the grub list of ubuntu installations.. It just has that first "Ubuntu" entry
[00:37] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> umm idk
[00:37] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> but i have a ram limit
[00:37] <willbeeler> when i click on it, it goes to the first instllation
[00:37] <willbeeler> how do i fix that?
[00:37] <QS81> evening all. I seem to have lost my files after an upgrade to 12.10 but they seem to be under a folder called .ecryptfs and I can't retrieve them. can anyone help me out?
[00:38] <mercury00> [_-S1L3NC3-_], I woulnd't worry about swap unless I was running bare metal
[00:38] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> i need a i need a swap because im getting ram errors on a pkg im trying to config
[00:38] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> _r00t_ didnt work
[00:38] <mercury00> willbeeler, you probably just need to run update-grub, typically it finds all ubuntu installs and adds them to grub,
[00:39] <GandalfB> _root_, is there are way I can just re-install ubunto without using usbkey or cdrom (as I don't have either option) to correct my problem.  as it was fairly clearn install?
[00:39] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> _r00t_ am i supposed to rename "./swap.virtual.disk" ?
[00:39] <ar9> what package do i need for a basic Xsession?
[00:39] <blackness> GandalfB, without a media source, you cant really do much..
[00:39] <_r00t_> willbeeler:  sudo update-grub
[00:40] <mercury00> willbeeler, assuming you would like to add the installation on the second disk to the grub menu on the first disk, anyway,
[00:40] <dooml0rd> is there a way to compare two directory trees. e.g: something like rsync reporting what it would do if you invoked it
[00:40] <GandalfB> blackness, well I have the media,  I just can't boot from cd (as I dont have one) and the motherboard is to crapy to boot from usb
[00:40] <_r00t_> dooml0rd: diff -r
[00:41] <GandalfB> so is there an equiviant to the windows installer?
[00:41] <blackness> GandalfB, i'd go buy a single CD-r
[00:41] <willbeeler> im sorry i must have lost connection... does anyone know what to do about my question? I have 2 installations of ubuntu, but only one grub entry
[00:41] <mercury00> doomlord, yes, rsync has an option that will do nothing, it's, -n i think
[00:41] <_r00t_> dooml0rd: or run the rsyn with -n option ie --dry-run
[00:41] <willbeeler> and the grub entry goes to the older one
[00:41] <GandalfB> blackness, no I have no cd-r drive :)
[00:41] <blackness> no CDRom period?
[00:41] <GandalfB> I have the cd-r ;D
[00:41] <blackness> i believe there is a way to use grub to install from a iso.
[00:42] <GandalfB> well, correct,  actually no ide cable to connect it :S
[00:42] <dooml0rd> thanks
[00:42] <mercury00> doomlord, or --dry-run, so something like rsync --update /first/dir /second/dir --dry-run, maybe
[00:42] <blackness> GandalfB, can you borrow one from another device? like a slave HD..
[00:42] <blackness> GandalfB, wait, you said IDE right?
[00:42] <dooml0rd> rsync -nr perhaps (recursive/dry run)
[00:42] <GandalfB> not really
[00:42] <mercury00> willbeeler, assuming you would like to add the installation on the second disk to the grub menu on the first disk, anyway, use 'sudo update-grub
[00:42] <GandalfB> blackness, yup
[00:43] <mercury00> willbeeler, it *should* automatically see that you have kernels on the second disk, and add them to your grub menu
[00:43] <blackness> Why not slave your CDrom off your harddrive? or is the slave IDE slot taken by a harddrive?
[00:43] <GandalfB> the harddrive is sata :P
[00:43] <willbeeler> mercury00: when would I do that? On the live disc (right now) or when i get back into my first installation?
[00:43] <mercury00> dooml0rd, right, recursive too
[00:43] <blackness> oh..
[00:43] <QS81> I'm trying to recover my lost personal files after an upgrade and I know they're on my hard drive under an ecryptfs folder but I can't access it. can anyone point me in the right direction?
[00:43] <blackness> Hang on GandalfB ..lemme find a guide.
[00:43] <mercury00> dooml0rd, uh, also, -v or something, you want there to be output,
[00:44] <dooml0rd> -nrv ok
[00:44] <GandalfB> blackness,  yes much swearing was involved with getting the destro on there in the first place.  I pinched an IDE cable from a friend,  which I've since returned
[00:44] <blackness> GandalfB, http://askubuntu.com/questions/141940/how-to-boot-live-iso-images
[00:45] <GandalfB> ok I taka  read
[00:45] <bc81> @search Edwin Marlow
[00:45] <blackness> GandalfB, You have to edit grub.cfg manually i believe.
[00:45] <mercury00> willeeler, only from the running instance of the first disk,
[00:45] <blackness> bc81, this isnt a file serving channel.
[00:45] <mercury00> willeeler, when you run update-grub it'll try to update the info it has on the running kernel / current root directory unless you carefully specify otherwise,
[00:46] <GandalfB> blackness, I think thats one for the morning, my head starting to swell with pain :(  Thanks for all the help tonight and thankyyou bobweaver for trying to help
[00:46] <mercury00> willbeeler, but it's safest/easiest to boot into the first dist, run sudo update-grub, and watch the output.  It should print out some info about how it discovered an ubuntu kernel on the other disk
[00:47] <willbeeler> mercury00: when i setup the second instllation, i set it to the second (new) hard drive (grub i mean)... would that be a prob?
[00:47] <willbeeler> ok ill try that
[00:47] <blackness> haha..i know that feeling GandalfB
[00:47] <blackness> make sure you save it :)
[00:48] <willbeeler> how rude... I forgot to say thank you mercury00!!!
[00:48] <GandalfB> ttfn all
[00:48] <mercury00> willbeeler, it's not a probem to 'also' install grub to the second disk, it' sjust that it'll never be used unless you physically remove the first disk.  Your BIOS -> tries booting the first disk.  The first disk -> loads grub from the boot sector, gets files from the root directory
[00:48] <willbeeler> and everyone else for their help
[00:48] <willbeeler> AHhh.. that's right..
[00:48] <willbeeler> how dumb of me
[00:48] <willbeeler> i appreciate it, now i understand
[00:48] <mercury00> willbeeler, no problem, it's not simple so there's no reason feeling dumb
[00:48] <willbeeler> have a good night and happy thanksgiving
[00:49] <mercury00> willbeeler, night,
[00:49] <willbeeler> well, i've been through this rodeo before, and it should have dawned on me
[00:49] <willbeeler> ttyl
[00:49] <mercury00> willbeeler, yeah I just yesterday installed grub from a chroot onto a usb disk to reinstall on another computer, ha
[00:50] <QS81> I'm trying to recover my lost personal files after an upgrade and I know they're on my hard drive under an ecryptfs folder but I can't access it. can anyone point me in the right direction?
[00:50] <blackness> what version ubuntu QS81 ?
[00:50] <QS81> 12.10
[00:50] <blackness> moment please.
[00:50] <QS81> upgraded from 12.04 via a thumbstick.
[00:51] <QS81> thank you blackness
[00:51] <blackness> QS81, http://askubuntu.com/questions/38336/how-do-i-recover-my-data-from-an-encrypted-home-directory/80386#80386 give this a try.
[00:52] <blackness> QS81, here is one with a video LOL http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html
[00:54] <blackness> QS81, make sure instead of 11.10, use 12.10 for your liveUSB..
[00:55] <ZiauddinMK> hey, don't forget to multiply by four.
[00:55] <blackness> ZiauddinMK, what?
[00:56] <willbeeler> hey it worked! thanks, im logged in!
[00:58] <mercury00> willbeeler, super!
[00:58] <QS81> thank you for the help blackness but this seems like it will take a long time. I'm a very deep ubuntu newbie so a lot of this is still very foreign to me.
[00:58] <kolaracdn> can someone help me. I am running ubuntu 12.10 on my system and i want the default boot up to be tty1 instead of tty7. So i do want the gui running in the background, i just want it to boot to the virtual console first. Thanks!
[00:58] <QS81> but at least there is a way.
[00:58] <blackness> Just take your time, and follow the steps.. and you will be fine QS81
[00:59] <bazhang> !nox | kolaracdn
[01:00] <blackness> bazhang, i believe he wants it to goto console, and leave X running in the background. not sure if what you suggested will do that.
[01:00] <QS81> blackness: one minor question - when it says that the target system's hard drive needs to be mounted, do they mean the one I'm trying to open or the one that was created when the upgrade took place?
[01:00] <kolaracdn> no i already tried that i want the gui to be running but not in the background. i want tty1 the first i see and i want to switch to tty7 when needed
[01:00] <blackness> the one that holds the encryptedfs.
[01:01] <blackness> target = where you want it to go, source = location of data..
[01:01] <blackness> sorry i got that backwards a second ago QS81
[01:02] <jsn> I am trying ifup wlan0 (wireless, naturally) and am getting "Unsupported driver 'iwlwifi'". It worked last week. lsmod lists iwlwifi. I think it might be suspend/resume related, but I only ever suspended once. Maybe it is because I shipped the machine. HW troubles that could have loosened the wireless card?
[01:02] <kolaracdn> can someone help me. I am running ubuntu 12.10 on my system and i want the default boot up to be tty1 instead of tty7. So i do want the gui running in the background, i just want it to boot to the virtual console first. Thanks!
[01:03] <Synthos> Hello,  I am having a very strange ethernet issue and I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.  I'm on my windows partition and everything is fine, but in Ubuntu I can only get LAN access. WAN does not work.  DNS does not resolve.  What logs should I be looking in?
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> jsn: how do you 'ship a machine'?
[01:03] <blackness> kolaracdn, please give people time to respond and or give you a guide or a solution.
[01:03] <blackness> ActionParsnip, VIA UPS or FedEX
[01:03] <kolaracdn> k
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> blackness: i see
[01:04] <Synthos> I'm running 12.04 LTS
[01:04] <jsn> ActionParsnip, UPS is one choice. There are many.
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> Synthos: disable the ability for the network chip to wake up the OS as well as the power management
[01:04] <Evil_Eric> Synthos, so am i
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> jsn: i see, should be ok
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> jsn: if you run:   sudo lshw -C network     what wifi chip are you using?
[01:04] <jsn> ActionParsnip, yet, it is't OK.
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> Synthos: you set it in windows device manager
[01:05] <Synthos> Ok
[01:06] <laffen> which is the most awsome videocard buy for a desktop to use with linux? more centered on price vs performance since im not a big gamer.. i have ATI radeon and its more sluggish than it should be cause of poor drivers

[01:06] <toromata> Hello guys, I have installed ubuntu 12.10 3.2.0-33-generic-pae #52-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 18 16:39:21 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux installed on a laptop Toshiba U505, but the fan does not turn on. What I need to configure or install?
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> laffen: i'd ask in ##hardware   nvidia drivers are pretty sweet
[01:07] <theslow1> Hey, i am having difficulties mounting an external NTFS hdd
[01:07] <mercury00> jsn, is the wireless showing up is lspci, or lsusb, and is is 'physically' enabled, (it, on most laptops, wifi has a button you have to press or something)
[01:07] <laffen> ok tanx, ActionParsnip
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> theslow1: can you do it manually?
[01:07] <theslow1> yea
[01:07] <QS81> going to try this. will return in a bit.
[01:07] <blackness> theslow1, did you just ask that in debian?
[01:08] <theslow1> blackness: yes ...
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> theslow1: when you unplugged it last, did you use the safely remove feature in the OS?
[01:08] <theslow1> Actionparsnip: yes
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> theslow1: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[01:08] <jsn> mercury00, lspci I think shows it: 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> jsn: and does it say 'UNCLAIMED' above it?
[01:08] <theslow1> ActionParsnip: wheezy
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> theslow1: then its debian, so not supported here
[01:09] <blackness> theslow1, we dont support debian here..
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> theslow1: this is ubuntu support only
[01:09] <theslow1> ActionParsnip...okay :(
[01:09] <jsn> ActionParsnip, the lshw output? Does not say UNCLAIMED, it says DISABLED.
[01:09] <blackness> ActionParsnip, +1
[01:10] <mercury00> jsn, hmm, is there a button to turn on and off wifi on your computer?  on the side, or the top, or a light that turns blue or somethihg?
[01:10] <mercury00> jsn, what is your computer again, model #?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> jsn: thats good, do you have a switch or shortcut to enable or disable wifi?
[01:11] <laffen> ActionParsnip: i dont get reply there, but i have something like a 10 year old geoforce something but doubt its better than a radeon 5870
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> jsn: do you dual boot the system?
[01:11] <toromata> Is there a solution?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> laffen: not sure, I always buy nvidia
[01:12] <mercury00> toromata, which fan is it?  cpu, case?
[01:12] <laffen> will too after this
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> toromata: let me search
[01:12] <toromata> cpu
[01:12] <jsn> ActionParsnip, I don't dual boot.
[01:12] <mercury00> (always nvidia, though ati's linux drivers are not bad, I just prefer the hardware)
[01:12] <blackness> ActionParsnip, give jsn time to respond :P
[01:13] <blackness> not everyone can type 70+WPM ActionParsnip heh
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> toromata: seems you need the boot option: acpi=noirq
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> toromata: http://michaelminn.com/linux/toshiba-u505/   source
[01:13] <jsn> blackness, I'm 50wpm+, I appreciate ActionParsnip speed :)
[01:13] <laffen> my 3 year old latop with internal intel video card runs better than this one
[01:13] <synthos2> I disabled all power management... in ubuntu and still seeing no wan . can you clarify what settings
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> jsn: does the system have a make and model?
[01:14] <synthos2> to disable?
[01:14] <jsn> One other tidbit, scanning with iwlist does work.
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> synthos2: http://www.trishtech.com/img_art/vista_disable_wake_up_1.jpg
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> jsn: does the system have a make and model?
[01:15] <synthos2> I assume that by wake up OS you mean wake from suspend. I also disabled WOL
[01:15] <gsr> Hi all.  just installed 12.10.  apt-get can't seem to find htop, synaptics, or a whole wack of other software.  According to software sources, canonical, universe and multiverse are all enabled.  anyone else having this problem?
[01:15] <jsn> ActionParsnip, It's Sony, PSG-6C2L, it's a few years old.
[01:15] <MoON_WallK> i am bored of win7 n coz of .exe soft i hd to use it :( i want a linux good stable & most imp it shud update security patches whn they r released i m concern bout security :D cn you suggest me linux OS
[01:15] <toromata> ActionParsnip: Thanks, let me see
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> MoON_WallK: try Ubuntu
[01:15] <jsn> I always call it a Sony VAIO SZ6, ActionParsnip
[01:15] <mercury00> ActionParsnip +1
[01:16] <MoON_WallK> nah it lag withn my ram
[01:16] <MoON_WallK> i did used it
[01:16] <synthos2> want me in ubuntu or Windows?
[01:16] <trism> gsr: sudo apt-get update; yet?
[01:16] <mercury00> MoON_WallK arch linux?
[01:16] <MoON_WallK> arch is good in security ???
[01:17] <jsn> ActionParsnip, third name? Sony VGN-SZ650N/C
[01:17] <gsr> trism: yup
[01:17] <jsn> Oh, maybe mine isn't the N/C
[01:17] <trism> gsr: which mirror?
[01:18] <Tharkis> Hey there.. I just installed ubuntu, but it doesn't look like a bootloader got installed. How can I install it from the live cd without having to go through the installer again?
[01:18] <trism> gsr: or actually just pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> jsn: try:  sudo rfkill unblock all
[01:19] <blackness> Tharkis, you need to load the LiveCD, and mount your SYSTEM drive, and chroot to it and type: sudo grub-install
[01:19] <blackness> let me get you a guide..moment please.
[01:19] <gsr> trism: http://pastebin.com/zakSRxtY
[01:20] <mercury00> Tharkis, if you do it that way, be sure to mount -o bind /proc <your root system drive>/proc, as well as /sys and /dev (and maybe /dev/pts)
[01:20] <MoON_WallK> n yeah will counter strike run on arch lynx under wine  ???????????????
[01:20] <jsn> ActionParsnip, that command succeeded.
[01:20] <blackness> Tharkis, http://blackness.sytes.net:8181/bb72d3ea-3379-11e2-874f-4f0b4692c4f6 there you go
[01:20] <Tharkis> so would it be easier to just go through the installer again? mercury00 ?
[01:21] <mercury00> tharkis, ah, so, I'd boot to the live-cd, then follow the instructions blackness linked,
[01:21] <trism> gsr: how about the output of: sudo apt-get update;
[01:21] <bazhang> MoON_WallK, ask in #archlinux . this is ubuntu support
[01:22] <jsn> ActionParsnip, lshw no longer shows disabled, but I don't know if that is from the rfkill command or from my iwconfig wlan0 up
[01:22] <jsn> s/iwconfig/ifconfig/
[01:22] <mercury00> MoON_WallK, I think so, but my experience is that everyhing is much more manually configured in arch, ubuntu is more preconfigured
[01:23] <Tharkis> ok thanks.. here goes something
[01:23] <gsr> trism: http://pastebin.com/3gxcNvKA     I am on a train right now (viarail), so there is a chance its blocking some of the larger files needed to update apt, I guess
[01:23] <bazhang> mercury00, feel free to support him in #archlinux
[01:23] <blackness> If you follow that, it will work.
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> MoON_WallK: if you are new to linux, ubuntu is a great start point
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> jsn: can you now connect to wifis?
[01:23] <mercury00> bazhang, sorry.
[01:23] <jsn> ActionParsnip, still the "unsupported driver: 'iwlwifi'"
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> MoON_WallK: if you like counterstrike then urban terror is nice :)
[01:24] <Synthos> ActionParsnip, Disabling power management didn't help as far as I could tell
[01:24] <gsr> ActionParsnip, MoON_WallK: so is Wolfenstein: enemy territory
[01:24] <MoON_WallK> nop i used linux mint , backtrack, ubuntu , crunchbang red hat and i am fond of linux \:D/
[01:24] <Synthos> perhaps there are other settings that I'm missing?
[01:24] <axisys> how do I slide the active windows like stack of cards instead of zoom out into a grid.. hardly see which one to pick on a laptop screen
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> Synthos: then I suggest you run:    dmesg | less     see what happens at boot, see what is detected and not etc
[01:25] <bazhang> MoON_WallK, did you have any actual ubuntu support questions?
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> MoON_WallK: those are all ubuntu base.....
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> MoON_WallK: well, except red hat
[01:26] <MoON_WallK> yup my question was which are the best security patching linux OS i cn install for long time :D
[01:26] <Synthos> ActionParsnip, I did scan dmesg and didn't notice anything, but I don't exactly know what I'm looking for.  There were some warnings from syslog, but alas I cannot simply copy and paste easily
[01:26] <MoON_WallK> ne ways thank you bazhang , ActionParsnip for you help \:D/
[01:26] <bazhang> MoON_WallK, thats not an ubuntu support question
[01:26] <Synthos> I will try some other driver settings from windows and see what happens
[01:26] <mercury00> jsn, btw what's lspci -n | grep 06:00.0
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> Synthos: you don't need to copy and paste naything, you need to skim read it for wifi stuffs
[01:27] <jsn> mercury00, 06:00.0 0280: 8086:4229 (rev 61)
[01:27] <Synthos> (it's wired)
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> Synthos: well, wired then
[01:28] <sambagirl> I disagree with you bazhang. http://www.moonwalkinc.com/products/moonwalk-for-linux
[01:28] <gsr> MoON_WallK, for issues not related to ubuntu technical support, see #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:29] <Tharkis> Hi, I just wanted to let you know it worked. Thanks for the help!
[01:29] <Synthos> Alright, off i go
[01:29] <mercury00> Tharkis, yipee!
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> Synthos: use cursors to scroll down, its a useful log
[01:29] <Tharkis> I agree mercury00
[01:30] <mercury00> jsn: ok, just checking, that's a totally supported card (and I know you said it already worked before just now stopped), ilwifi talks to it, so, does it give same message when trying to enable it?
[01:30] <trism> gsr: yeah that output doesn't look right at all, it isn't trying to get quantal/universe
[01:31] <gsr> trism: must be this crappy wifi.  will have to try again when I get home.
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> !info moonwalk
[01:31] <jsn> mercury00, worked for a long time, in fact. What command trying to enable it do you want me to try?
[01:31] <szal> nibbler_: please fix your connection, thank you
[01:31] <gsr> trism: thanks for the help anyway!
[01:32] <mercury00> jsn, are you on cli only?  does anyting show up in network manager?  wifi is controlled via several configs inthe system,
[01:32] <jeff123> Is browsing the web with an Ubuntu 12.04 live cd a security risk? Could your hard disk be compromised?
[01:33] <jsn> mercury00, I'm CLI for this. I never had any luck with network-managre. Let me check if I just started it.
[01:33] <simplew> i changed by background and now unity appears also with it, how can i get back tht default unity purple background?
[01:33] <sambagirl> i'm curious, if you have 10.10 & 10.04 servers, you probably can't upgrade can you? something would surely break i suspect.  so you would have no choice but to rebuild and start from scratch?  is there a migration option?
[01:33] <mercury00> sambagirl, I've upgraded 10.04 and 1.10 servers to 12.04 a few times,
[01:34] <IdleOne> !eolupgrades | sambagirl
[01:34] <sambagirl> jeff123 anything is possible. i would imagine the NSA or CIA or DIA or IRS or FBI have a way to get in without the cd/dvd :)
[01:34] <mercury00> sambagirl, some things could break, but it depends on what you're running
[01:34] <Shinobi> None of my rdp views will connect to vbox remotely. It's enabled on the machine and there's no firewall. Rdesktop connects fine. Anyone have any idea why I can't connect using gnome-rdp, or remmina?
[01:34] <molqr> hey can i get the gnome-screen saver to tell me how long it was on ... basically i want to figure out how long was the screen locked for ... how long was i away from work
[01:34] <sambagirl> ok
[01:34] <jsn> mercury00, I try to stay CLI, anyway.
[01:35] <mercury00> jsn, so I'm already making assumptions that something else isn't getting in the way of the commands, like network manager changing ssytem configurations,
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: i'd shoot for a clean install then restore user data etc from backup
[01:36] <sambagirl> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades that link has nothing but really really old releases.
[01:36] <sambagirl> ActionParsnip, that would require installing all the products all over again wouldn't it?
[01:36] <sambagirl> all the dependencies and all that right?
[01:36] <mercury00> jsn, if it were me, I'd probably try rmmod the iwlwifi module, then re modprobe-ing it, via cli, to see if any messages appear,
[01:37] <mercury00> jsn, checking /var/log/messages or dmesg or whatnot,
[01:37] <jsn> mercury00, I've tried. It works perfectly. lsmod is happily reporting iwlwifi
[01:37] <mercury00> jsn, ok that's a good thing,
[01:38] <simplew> i changed by background and now unity appears also with it, how can i get back tht default unity purple background???
[01:38] <mercury00> jsn, maybe pastebin output of nm-tool?
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: indeed, both methods have advantages and disadvantages
[01:38] <jsn> Hey, wait! /var/log/messages is missing. dmesg output is fine, though.
[01:38] <mercury00> jsn, unless nm is not installed,
[01:38] <sambagirl> I imagine I would encounter some issues upgrading from Hoary to 12.xx LTS?
[01:39]  * sambagirl sighs
[01:39] <xangua> simplew: change your background to a purple one
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> sambagirl: thats going to take AGES
[01:39] <mercury00> jsn, it's ok, I think /var/log/messages is not universal to ubuntu,
[01:39] <mercury00> sambagirl, some very serious issues
[01:40] <sambagirl> I guess I will have to just map out a plan to do new installs and try to remember everything i have done in the past on those pizza boxes...
[01:40] <jsn> mercury00, nm-tool => http://pastebin.ca/2253616
[01:40] <simplew> xangua: i want to have my own background in my session but continue with the pirple one in unity
[01:40] <sambagirl> Centos, I have some centos based servers, just out of curiosity, do they persue LTS concept as well?
[01:40] <sambagirl> i'll ask that there
[01:40] <sambagirl> brb
[01:41] <mercury00> jsn, ok, unmanaged, which is ok for us for now, if you don't mind maybe pastebin /etc/network/interfaces
[01:41] <kermit> how do i install a realtime kernel?  mplayer pauses every time it reads about 5MB off disk
[01:42] <adknight87> Hi there
[01:42] <adknight87> I have a question
[01:42] <ek> Anyone here familiar with the way gParted assigns bootable MBR/partitions? I'm totally stuck trying to get my dual-boot grub menu to load. :(
[01:43] <ek> adknight87: Ask away.
[01:43] <jsn> mercury00, http://pastebin.ca/2253618   unchanged from when it was working
[01:44] <adknight87> I have a wine application that can launch protocol urls "imvu://"
[01:44] <adknight87> But I can't get xdg-open to do get it to open the link in the application
[01:44] <adknight87> I can do it via terminal
[01:44] <Synthos> ActionParsnip, I have the dmesg log, the only concerning thing I can see about dmesg is [   34.995699] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready [   34.996436] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
[01:44] <Synthos> I can pastebin the log (i copied a few logs to a shared partition)
[01:45] <Synthos> http://pastebin.com/VLdLASww
[01:45] <Synthos> (dmesg)
[01:45] <adknight87> ek: What operating systems are you dual booting
[01:46] <Synthos> I'm more concerned about this from the syslog:
[01:46] <Synthos> Nov 20 19:29:40 peterm-desktop NetworkManager[1227]: <warn> failed to allocate link cache: (-10) Operation not supported
[01:46] <ek> adknight87: You might want to check out the #wine or #playonlinux channels for more detailed help. They're a knowledgable bunch.
[01:46] <adknight87> This is more so the xdg-open part
[01:46] <ek> adknight87: Windows 8 and Kubuntu 12.10. Everthing installed okay, but I have no boot menu.
[01:46] <adknight87> ek: did you install windows 8 first?
[01:47] <jsn> Is there any chance that there is some constant, stuck in /proc/ from the one time I did a suspend/resume?
[01:47] <ek> adknight87: Yessir.
[01:47] <mercury00> jsn, yes, that looks just fine, do you have any options to iwlwifi in /etc/modprobe/ ?
[01:47] <mercury00>  jsn, nvmind, irrelevant, iwlwifi already working,
[01:48] <Synthos> ActionParsnip, here is a segment of my syslog http://pastebin.com/X36L0iVt   (I cannot pastebin all the data as it exceed pastebin's max)
[01:48] <adknight87> ek: I was thinking about doing the same thing and i had read about the mbr deal for dual booting. Apparently you just add the grub in the windows mbr I think?
[01:48] <mercury00> jsn, is your wifi built-in?  an pci-e mini card?
[01:48] <adknight87> ek not the grub
[01:48] <jsn> mercury00, it is built in. PCI-E mini? I don't know.
[01:48] <ek> adknight87: My MBR seems to be completely missing and installing grub to /dev/sda1 (early sectors) and /dev/sda5 (Linux) won't work. Even after I've set them as bootable via gParted. *shrug*
[01:49] <mercury00> jsn, I have gotten similar errors when my card died.  Also, when it was physically switched off, but I can't find any info about your laptop's wifi-switch
[01:49] <Maccer> So, I managed to break pulseaudio, but not jack. Any way to reconfigure it? I think it's because I installed a pulseaudio-jack module and added it the default.pa, but I reverted all of that and I still have no audio. Any thoughts?
[01:49] <mercury00> jsn, and to confirm, when you do a sudo lshw -C network, it no longer shows disabled or unclaimed?
[01:49] <adknight87> ek: use the startup repair on the windows install disk
[01:49] <jsn> mercury00, there is a switch. iwlist works, though, so it can't be all bad
[01:49] <jsn> mercury00, correct, no longer disabled, it hasn't shown me unclaimed
[01:50] <mercury00> jsn, does iwlist show wifi's, or empty list?
[01:50] <jsn> mercury00, it shows networks.
[01:50] <ek> adknight87: Just to replace the MBR? Can I then replace it with a grub boot menu?
[01:50] <mercury00> jsn, but you're unable to connect?
[01:50] <jsn> mercury00, correct.
[01:50] <adknight87> ek: no you add in the part for windows to know there's another operating system.
[01:51] <jsn> mercury00, but it stops with that unsupported driver message, rather than something else
[01:52] <ek> adknight87: The grub installation and configuration sees everything, it just doesn't install the bootloader into the correct place, apparently. IE: When I boot the system, it finds nothing even though I've installed GRUB.
[01:52] <mercury00> jsn, hmm, yeah I don't trust the message, just hoping to get better error output,
[01:53] <adknight87> ek: hmm what partition file formats do you have set up
[01:53] <mercury00> jsn, honestly, it seems like the card is mostly OK, and this is where things get ugly with wifi.  I'd try connecting to an unsecured network as a test.
[01:53] <adknight87> ek: I remember certain file systems not being read from grub
[01:53] <jsn> mercury00, Maybe this will help you? http://pastebin.ca/2253620
[01:54] <mercury00> jsn, at this point you have to start using the split half approach,
[01:54] <mercury00> jsn, ah,
[01:54] <mercury00> jsn, what do you get 'file /dev/lan0'
[01:54] <simplew> isnt possible to disable what triggers unity wallpaper change when a user changes the session wallpaper?
[01:54] <mercury00> jsn, er 'file /dev/wlan0'
[01:55] <Shinobi> If I upgrade my dist, will my packages work, or do I have to reinstall everything?
[01:55] <adknight87> how does xdg-open work exactly?
[01:55] <mercury00> jsn, 'file /var/run/wpa_suplicant', and 'ls -Flah /var/run/wpa_supplicant', those should be done sudo/root
[01:55] <jsn> mercury00, /dev/wlan0: ERROR: cannot open `/dev/wlan0' (No such file or directory)
[01:56] <ek> adknight87: I have an unallocated /dev/sda1 (bootable via gParted), a /dev/sda3 (Windows 8), a /dev/sda4 (Linux swap) and a /dev/sda5 (Linux /).
[01:56] <Juanopsy> hey all
[01:56] <jsn> mercury00, /var/run/wpa_supplicant is not present, either
[01:56] <mercury00> jsn (but I assume you're already root/sudo)
[01:56] <Juanopsy> some help to remote acces from ub un
[01:56] <ek> adknight87: I read about the unrecognized grub partitions as well. I've tried roughly 6 different methods to get a menu and they have all failed. Hence the reason I'm here. :)
[01:56] <Juanopsy> some help to remote acces from ubuntu to ubuntu
[01:57] <mercury00> jsn, ah, that's fine because we want them not preexisting,
[01:57] <ek> Juanopsy: Can you be more specific, please?
[01:57] <adknight87> ek: well kubuntu has the same installation method as ubuntu right? if you just give it the right partition without the swap it will make the swap.
[01:58] <Juanopsy> ek: yes, I want to remote acces to a friends computer over internet... what software should I use?
[01:58] <adknight87> ek: Unless you want it a certain size then I can see you just walking through that but usually you can do that after you had made the main partition for kubuntu.
[01:58] <ek> adknight87: Yep. Same method. However, I had to do a manual installation since the installer didn't recognize my Winderz OS for whatever reason.
[01:58] <blackness> Juanopsy, connect how? ftp, terminal, x?
[01:58] <Juanopsy> ek: full control?
[01:58] <adknight87> ek: that's odd. What device is this?
[01:59] <blackness> Juanopsy, you can use SSH for terminal, or VNC for GUI.
[01:59] <Juanopsy> ek: like remote desktop
[01:59] <mbrigdan> Hello, I'm trying to convert an aac file to flac with soundconverter, and a GStreamer error window pops up saying "could not initialize supporting library". Here is a paste of the console output: http://pastebin.com/MbD37gfR
[01:59] <ek> Juanopsy: SSH is what you're looking for. Console access and you can actually run X windows as well.
[01:59] <blackness> VNC will work for you.. Juanopsy
[01:59] <ek> adknight87: ASUS X75A laptop.
[01:59] <Juanopsy> blackness: thx
[01:59] <blackness> Welcome.
[02:00] <adknight87> ek: Let me see if I can check something out. I have a Samsung Chronos 7 series. xD
[02:00] <ek> Juanopsy: Yes. SSH w/ X11 forwarding will work or a VNC, as blackness suggested.
[02:00] <furian> could someone suggest what i would look at to identify why randomly xubuntu 12.10 closes all programs and just shows the desktop?
[02:00] <ek> adknight87: Alrighty. Thanks.
[02:00] <ek> furian: Nothing in your logs?
[02:01] <furian> what lof should i look at?
[02:01] <almoxarife> furian: /var/log/syslog is a good start
[02:01] <furian> log*
[02:01] <furian> thanks
[02:01] <almoxarife> welkome
[02:01] <ek> furian: Also, try to run a "find / -type f -iname "*.core" " command to see if there are core crash files.
[02:02] <Juanopsy> ek: whats the diference of x11 and vnc?
[02:03] <mercury00> jsn, I'd try connecting to an unsecured network for the diagnosic results, and doing the ifup with -v
[02:03] <ek> Juanopsy: A VNC is a connection that basically puts your computer securely into a remote LAN (even though it's remote..) SSH is an encrypted shell that allows you to authenticate and execute commands on the remote system.
[02:04] <adknight87> ek: should be a easy install on there I had a 8 gig onboard ssd drive and it listed it but I haven't used it. Anyways do you have anything on windows I'm thinking a fresh start by erasing the whole hard drive and getting rid of the mbr along with it.
[02:04] <webnet> im getting this when i try to install anything http://pastebin.com/9NMhHcDD
[02:04] <MartinS> hey
[02:04] <Juanopsy> ek: thankiu man...
[02:05] <jsn> mercury00, I am actually quite unwell. It is still a few weeks until the cure, and then some time to recover. I'll have to do this tomorrow, as my stomcah will not currently leave me alone.
[02:05] <ek> adknight87: Well, I'm thinking this may have been because I deleted all of the no-sense partitions from Windows 8 immediately. For instance, the backup/restore partitions and such.  I tried repairing it from a live CD but i get all sorts of errors like "gpt partition label contains no bios boot partition". Paste from Boot-Repair is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373879/ I was just messing with mysql before all that. Note: it's a VM
[02:05] <webnet> tried removing the package which wont remove without ripping out
[02:05] <furian> ek, no results for that search string you posted
[02:05] <webnet> all of libre office
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> webnet: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[02:05] <jsn> mercury00, thank you, and ActionParsnip, for your efforts.
[02:05] <jsn> Good night.
[02:05] <webnet> lucid
[02:05] <webnet> ActionParsnip
[02:05] <adknight87> ek: windows 8 makes to file partitions 100mb and the system
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> webnet: on the desktop?
[02:06] <webnet> yessir ActionParsnip
[02:06] <adknight87> ek: the 100mb is the obvious mbr location.
[02:06] <ek> adknight87: So, perhaps something got lost. However, Windows booted fine earlier even after the Linux install. It just booted directly into Winderz. After I messed with gParted and "boot-repair", I can't log into anything.
[02:06] <ek> adknight87: Right. I left 300MB at the beginning of the disk. It's still there.
[02:06] <mercury00> jsn, night
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> webnet: is it Bhodilinux?
[02:07] <webnet> ActionParsnip im running BT5 R3
[02:07] <Shinobi> If I upgrade my dist, do I lose all my software?
[02:07] <adknight87> ek: boot repair from windows? or linux?
[02:07] <ek> furian: Alright. So, the programs aren't crashing. Are you sure they aren't just hidden or lost to the GUI?
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> webnet: then ask in #backtrack-linux please
[02:07] <webnet> its based on lucid tho. they told me to ask here because its a ubuntu specific issue not bt issue
[02:07] <ek> adknight87: Linux. "apt-get install boot-repair".
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> webnet: the package you are having issue with is not an Ubuntu package, and you aren't even using Ubuntu
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> webnet: none of the 'ubuntu based' distros are supported here
[02:08] <adknight87> ek: last time I messed up my mbr I had gone into the repair console using windows start up disk and fixmbr
[02:08] <webnet> ActionParsnip LibreOffice is an ubuntu package...
[02:08] <ek> adknight87: It never worked for shit... So, I went with the standard console commands for re-installing grub. However, it still presents no boot menu.
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> webnet: equally, ubuntu is based on Debian, but if you ask for Ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> webnet: this channel is ONLY for canonical releases
[02:08] <ek> adknight87: That will fix Winderz, correct? After that's fixed, how did you get your GRUB menu back?
[02:09] <adknight87> ek: Run the install for ubuntu again
[02:09] <adknight87> ek: Kubuntu
[02:09] <adknight87> Lol
[02:09] <furian> ek, i feel silly, i bumped the mouse wheel and it changed workspaces, i am new to xubuntu, sorry for wasting your time
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> webnet: the guys in #backtrack-linux will help you as that is what you are using
[02:09] <ek> Bah! I don't want to re-install! Lol.
[02:09] <webnet> like i said i was directed her by BT because BT is a toolkit rather than an OS itself its customized ubuntu. but ill try again
[02:09] <adknight87> ek: it won't overwrite data
[02:09] <sygb> 5
[02:09] <adknight87> ek: I don't think
[02:09] <ek> furian: Haha. No problem. I was going to ask about that but I didn't want you to feel insulted. :)
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> webnet: the OS is backtrack, so your support is in the backtrack channel;
[02:10] <webnet> again ill say i was directed here but ok
[02:10] <furian> what keyed me in is my other user name is here in irc
[02:10] <furian> thanks
[02:10] <ek> adknight87: No. I'm sure it won't. I'm just lazy.
[02:10] <adknight87> ek: imagine how I felt when I installed kernel 3.5
[02:11] <ek> adknight87: It's certainly worth a shot. I have everything backed up so it isn't a big deal. I just hate not being able to figure stuff out.
[02:11] <adknight87> ek: and nothing booted
[02:11] <mbrigdan> Hello, I'm trying to convert an aac file to flac with soundconverter, and a GStreamer error window pops up saying "could not initialize supporting library". Here is a paste of the console output: http://pastebin.com/MbD37gfR
[02:11] <ek> adknight87: Yup. Been there.
[02:11] <adknight87> ek: Well all I know is you can format the hard drive all you want but the mbr is stuck on here.
[02:11] <adknight87> ek: Windows was the only method for cleaning the mbr out
[02:11] <ek> I just wanted to try everything I could to see if I could get my boot menu back.
[02:12] <ek> I don't like being stumped...
[02:12] <ek> adknight87: I'm not surprised. I've had problems like this before.  But, school requires it.
[02:12] <adknight87> I always thought it was file corruption
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> adknight87: you can use dd in liveCD to wipe an MBR :)
[02:13] <ek> You know... Internet Exploder and such. VirtualBox isn't efficient enough.
[02:13] <ek> ActionParsnip: More info, please.
[02:13] <adknight87> ActionParsnip: I didn't have internet at the time just a micro sdcard with windows on it
[02:13] <brandon420> My internet is being retarded.. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> ek: on what?
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> adknight87: gotcha
[02:14] <ek> ActionParsnip: Wiping an MBR.
[02:14] <ek> ActionParsnip: I don't even seem to have one.
[02:15] <ek> brandon420: Right direction for what? Sorry, I don't see anything above that you've asked.
[02:15] <adknight87> wait wait dd?
[02:15] <ek> adknight87: Yup. I can see it working if it's not mounted or at least accessible.
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> ek: http://www.computing.net/answers/linux/ghost-for-linux-vs-acronis-vs-g4l/28130.html
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> ek: all I did was:  http://duckduckgo.com/?q=wipe+MBR+dd
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> ek: not hard....is it?
[02:16] <brandon420> My internet will go out like every 10ish minutes, and i have to restart my computer for it to work again
[02:16] <ek> ActionParsnip: Thanks. I'll take a look.
[02:17] <adknight87> ek: http://www.av8n.com/computer/htm/grub-reinstall.htm
[02:17] <brandon420> What is the problem, and how do i fix it?
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> ek: using the webs to search for things instead of asking frees helpers up.
[02:17] <adknight87> xD it's nice to see it on a list he can print out
[02:18] <ek> ActionParsnip: That doesn't clear the MBR. In fact, it has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> ek: it does, it puts 0s in the first 512k of drive
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> ek: that is where the MBR resides
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> ek: so it does clear the MBR
[02:19] <adknight87> ActionParsnip: Makes it unreadable
[02:19] <ek> ActionParsnip: Well, if that's where the system's MBR is, yes. However, mine isn't there, apparently.
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> adknight87: all 0s, yep..pretty unreadable :)
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> ek: then you willneed to find out and do that to the partition, rather than the disk
[02:20] <ek> Unallocated is exactly what it should be. So, unreadable would be great.
[02:20] <ek> ActionParsnip: I'm trying to figure out why GRUB isn't booting into the menu.
[02:20] <adknight87> ActionParsnip: take in account he has windows still already on there.
[02:21] <adknight87> ek: you do that you'll lose the windows start xD
[02:21] <adknight87> ek: How many times have you tried installing kubuntu?
[02:22] <ek> adknight87: In my life or just on this system?
[02:22] <adknight87> ek: when the problem started
[02:22] <ek> On this system, once. In my life, probably thousands...
[02:22] <ek> adknight87: Only once.
[02:22] <ek> Just installed it.
[02:23] <adknight87> ek: would be so much easier if I could just go through the motions then thinking about how to explain it lol
[02:23] <adknight87> ek: is this your only chat?
[02:23] <ek> adknight87: Well, yes. That's the issue. I've still got both systems installed but no menu to choose from.
[02:23] <ek> They both work for sure.
[02:24] <ek> adknight87: What do you mean?
[02:24] <skulltip> is unity 2d going away
[02:24] <adknight87> skype msn ... brosix, jitsi,
[02:24] <adknight87> fail ymessenger
[02:24] <ek> adknight87: I have skype, AOL, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo!, etc...
[02:24] <adknight87> ah
[02:24] <dr_willis> skulltip:n 12.10 its gone
[02:25] <adknight87> add me on skype and I'll give ya a ordered list to try out
[02:25] <skulltip> so i need a decent system to install 12.10
[02:25] <adknight87> <---
[02:25] <adknight87> I keep my sn's obvious
[02:25] <skulltip> or at least video card
[02:25] <ek> adknight87: Alrighty. Gimme a moment.
[02:25] <dr_willis> skulltip:  not really. from what i hear
[02:26] <skulltip> anyway, < 97% complete downloading TF2 :) no longer beta
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> skulltip: its dead after Precise. Quantal uses 3d only
[02:30] <Scriminamp> wat
[02:30] <skulltip> netflix doesn't work well in kde, screen is all white. going to try it in unity in a few, running 12.04
[02:30] <ActionParsnip> skulltip: i'd ask in #winehq too
[02:30] <skulltip> good idea, thanks
[02:31] <adknight87> netflix - Virtualbox
[02:31] <skulltip> adknight87 - wine :)
[02:32] <adknight87> I got steam native :P
[02:32] <adknight87> who doesn't actually

[02:36] <QS81> Blackness: It worked!! Thank you so much!! It worked, my data is saved!!
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> groovy: ^
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> QS81: get a backup!

[02:38] <ikonia> groovy: please show me the output of "uname -a"
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> groovy: what is the output  of: cat  /etc/issue
[02:38] <blackness> i told you it would :) aslong as you took your time and read everything in detail :D
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> QS81: sweet :)
[02:38] <QS81> Blackness: the learning curve with ubuntu is great but the satisfaction is oh so sweet once you do it.
[02:39] <Amelia26> sorry, i crashed
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> Amelia26: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[02:39] <Amelia26> Linux LWEB06 <IP_ADDRESS>-0.54.5-default #1 Fri Sep 4 01:28:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[02:39] <Amelia26> its a SLES sp10
[02:39] <blackness> Yes i know..this is why i love linux in general..fixing stuff is fun and Very rewarding..
[02:39] <ikonia> whoaa
[02:39] <ikonia> Amelia26: why are you asking in #ubuntu then ?
[02:39] <QS81> now I get to retweak everything to how I want it in 12.10 but that's a small feat considering.
[02:39] <axisys> looking for recommendation on how to replace unity with something else like gnome shell?
[02:39] <ikonia> Amelia26: or have I missunderstood what you are asking for ?
[02:39] <xangua> !nounity | axisys
[02:39] <QS81> later all and thank you muchly!
[02:40] <blackness> QS81, i have my own custom setup.sh just for things like that ;)
[02:40] <Amelia26> ubuntu people are helpful :)
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> axisys: instal gnome-shell package from the repos, log off and change the sessio
[02:40] <Amelia26> sles ppl are... is there any sles people ?
[02:40] <muji> hello fellas/femmas, i tried to do apt-get update and i get this error: http://pastie.org/5409667
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> Amelia26: we only support ubuntu here, helpful or not
[02:40] <ikonia> Amelia26: so are suse people, we don't support suse here, use the opensuse channel
[02:40] <axisys> ActionParsnip: thanks
[02:41] <Amelia26> danke
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> axisys: you change session with the ubuntu logo near your username ;)
[02:41] <xangua> !gpgerr | muji
[02:41] <Sazzo> Hi...12.04 LTS.  I have a keyboard with two SUPER(windows) keys.. Can I disable the left super key only?  Thanks.
[02:41] <webnet> and now i have been kicked from BT's chan because they said i was spamming as this is a ubuntu issue not a BT5 issue...
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> webnet: you are using backtrack
[02:42] <muji> i did install a few custom themes
[02:42] <ikonia> webnet: it's not an ubuntu issue, you are using backtrack
[02:42] <webnet> yes i am but ive just been kickbanned because its an issue with ubuntu not BT5
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> webnet: i'd take it up in #freenode then
[02:42] <webnet> thats what i was told that support for this kind of error should be asked about HERE
[02:43] <webnet> not there
[02:43] <ikonia> webnet: you where told you had installed an EXTERNAL repo
[02:43] <webnet> then they kicked me fore continuing to ask]
[02:43] <ikonia> webnet: that means it is not software provided by backtrack OR ubuntu
[02:43] <muji> xangua, what do i do after that?
[02:43] <axisys> ActionParsnip: gnome-shell pkg asking gdm or lightdm.. since I am planning to replace unity, should I choose gdm?
[02:43] <ikonia> so you need to deal with a.) the people who maintain the repo b.) backtrack to get support / intergration
[02:43] <webnet> yes one repo for a git toollkit which has nothing to do with the dependancy issue ikonia
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> axisys: you can use either, lightdm is the default in Ubuntu
[02:43] <ikonia> webnet: ok - so nothing to do with ubuntu
[02:44] <axisys> ActionParsnip: thanks
[02:44] <xangua> muji: you have the key in your paste and now you have the command to add it :)
[02:44] <ikonia> backtrack to get compatability and the repo maintainer to fix any repo problems
[02:44] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: nice pun
[02:44] <webnet> ikonia no it is a ubuntu issue as LibreOffice is a UBUNTU package
[02:44] <muji> okay so i just run it? sorry i havn't been on linux in a while
[02:44] <ikonia> webnet: it's not an UBUNTU repo
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> webnet: its also a Mandriva package and a Suse package and a Puppy package....so what
[02:45] <ikonia> webnet: and installing ubuntu software on backtrack is NOT an ubuntu issue
[02:45] <ikonia> webnet: so please - drop it from this channel
[02:45] <webnet> i didnt install from a repo ikonia
[02:45] <ikonia> take it back to #backtracklinux and tell them the information
[02:45] <webnet> so where should i go for help then ActionParsnip
[02:45] <xangua> muji: easy as pie :) sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5
[02:45] <ikonia> webnet: ok - well, it's still not an ubuntu problem
[02:45]  * Sazzo murmurs....some of us can use help. :)
[02:45] <webnet> ikonia ive been banned
[02:45] <webnet> from bt's chan
[02:45] <Princeee> hi
[02:45] <Killswitch> Hello, I am having problems, I run 12.04 and nameservers don't work in /etc/networks/interface but they do in resolv.conf but resolv.conf gets overwritten… How do I fix this?
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> webnet: i'd reinstall wih Ubuntu and use that, you will then find things are a lot nicer
[02:45] <ikonia> not #ubuntu's problem
[02:46] <Sazzo> Hi...12.04 LTS.  I have a keyboard with two SUPER(windows) keys.. Can I disable the left super key only?  Thanks.
[02:46] <ikonia> webnet: you where kicked, not banned
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> Killswitch: add them as you do in /etc/resolv.conf  in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
[02:46] <ikonia> actually you where banned, my mistake
[02:47] <muji> xangua, i did it, and than i got this: http://pastie.org/5409688
[02:47] <webnet> ikonia it wont let me rejoin... i get an error your are not allowed to connect to this channel
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> does Flannel still come in, not seen that name for ages
[02:47] <Sazzo> jeez.. so change your IP and nic and go back in
[02:47] <ikonia> webnet: talk to the operators, either way, you've had more than enough offtopic help now
[02:47] <ikonia> Sazzo: please don't tell people to evade bans
[02:47] <Sazzo> ikonia, well the offtopic crap went on far too long :/
[02:47] <webnet>  Cannot join #backtrack-linux (You are banned). ikonia
[02:47] <IdleOne> webnet: right, you were banned. That doesn't change the fact that it isn't an Ubuntu problem.
[02:47] <ikonia> webnet: I know - you've said, we can't help you here,
[02:47] <doomlord> wifi / sony vaio - at the minute i dont see my wifi networks in ubuntu.is there anyyhing  i can check to see if the wireless hardware is working
[02:47] <ikonia> Sazzo: and it's ended now
[02:48] <xangua> muji: looks good ;)
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> webnet: can you see a pattern forming?
[02:48] <doomlord> network icon -> edit network connections ->
[02:48] <webnet> fine i guess ill live with a broken system since no one is willing to help. thanks guise
[02:48] <ikonia> ok, bye
[02:48] <Sazzo> webnet, hit a forum.. cya later
[02:48] <Heather_> question: I'm installing ubuntu server for web-hosting purposes. How much disc should I ddedicate for the OS?
[02:48] <Heather_> dedicate*
[02:48] <doomlord> is there a commandline that should tell me if wireless hardware is recognized and on
[02:48] <muji> and than when i run apt-get update i get this error: http://pastie.org/5409693
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> Heather_: if you aren't comfortable in the CLI pure, use the desktop OS
[02:48] <ikonia> Heather_: you need to do a sizing exercise
[02:48] <ikonia> not ask randomly, it's your system
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> doomlord: sudo lshw -C network
[02:49] <doomlord> i'll try that; i've also just clicked settings->network; i see it says "wireless -> unavailable"
[02:49] <muji> xangua, and than i got this: http://pastie.org/5409693
[02:49] <doomlord> airplane mode was on
[02:50] <doomlord> (my vaio's hardware wireless switch is defintiely on)
[02:50] <Sazzo> 12.04 LTS..desktop..Unity..  I have a keyboard with two SUPER(windows) keys.. Can I disable the left super key only?  Thanks.
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> doomlord: try:  sudo rfkill unblock all
[02:50] <xangua> muji: mmm weird
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: sure
[02:51] <doomlord> ActionParsnip, lshw - says "*-network DISABLED \n description: Wireless interface .... "
[02:51] <muji> xangua: lol yea usually i can fix errors my self and learn, but this one has me stumpt
[02:51] <Sazzo> ActionParsnip, any idea how?  I've looked in the kb settings and it doesn't specify....will i need compiz to do this?
[02:51] <Heather_> ActionParsnip so the server version I've downloaded does not have a desktop?
[02:51] <ikonia> Heather_: you need to do a LOT more research
[02:51] <doomlord> ActionParsnip, - thanks that helped - i see more now..
[02:52] <Heather_> okay
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> Heather_: no its all comand line
[02:52] <ikonia> you appear to have just rushed in without doing any checking of what you are doing, what you are getting and how to do what you want
[02:52] <Sazzo> Heather_, I aree with ikonia .. FYI there is nothing wrong with making your server in a desktop install. you can always disable the gui stuff once you achieve your server goal(s).
[02:52] <DrManhattan> if I'm running 64 bit ubuntu, I don't need the generic-pae kernel, do I?
[02:52] <doomlord> ActionParsnip, - thanks - for future reference , what did rfkill unblock all do ? now i think i remember i might have actually disabled something (where i can't remember) to get rid of connection popups :)
[02:53] <ikonia> DrManhattan: no
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: is this what you ultimately want: http://askubuntu.com/questions/105558/how-do-i-disable-the-super-key
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> doomlord: does what your switch should do, just in software
[02:53] <Princeee> im a complete newbie i managed to get ubuntu 12.10 server up and running.. i havent got to the point of using a remote to ssh in yet but thats the next goal step at a time....
[02:53] <Sazzo> ActionParsnip, sort of.  I did find that page but it didn't specify which super key.
[02:53] <Princeee> i can say i found alot help here thou as i learn
[02:53] <RamchandraApte> DrManhattan: install the 64-bit kernel
[02:53] <Sazzo> ActionParsnip, I might just yank the key out :)
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: i guess
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: each key makes an event ID, the keys are unique
[02:55] <muji> xangua: i tried this and it worked: http://pastie.org/5409712
[02:55] <Sazzo> ActionParsnip, I am aware.. just gotta find where that specific key assignment is being passed from.
[02:55] <Sazzo> Thanks.
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> doomlord: could add it in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line if it's still needed after a reboot
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: run:   xev    and press each key
[02:56] <skulltip> tf2 isn't too shabby
[02:56] <Sazzo> ActionParsnip, yes,.. but if I do, then what can I do result?
[02:56] <Sazzo> can i do with the result?
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: let me see
[02:56] <Sazzo> no rush man
[02:56] <Sazzo> help others out
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: seems you can use xmodmap to map it
[02:57] <muji> does anyone know how i can check wheather i have encrypted my home folder or not?
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: here is one for caps lock, could be useful
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> Sazzo: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4378
[03:00] <Sazzo> ActionParsnip, yep there are enough clues there.. thanks.
[03:00] <DrManhattan> RamchandraApte, yeah im installing off of the 64 bit alternate and I noticed it offers me generic-pae
[03:00] <axisys> wow.. I got soo used to unity.. needed to come back to it.. lol
[03:01] <RamchandraApte> axisys: me the opposite
[03:04] <axisys> now I just need to find a way to roll through the active sessions like stack of cards instead of zoom out to a grid like tiny views with alt+tab
[03:05] <Evil_Eric> hey whats the command that shows you when something breaks what broke
[03:05] <DrManhattan> whats the GUI nowadays?
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: for what?
[03:05] <DrManhattan> default ubuntu GUI
[03:05] <Evil_Eric> unity
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: Gnome + Compiz + Xorg + Unity Shell
[03:05] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, Jesus Christ
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: what/
[03:06]  * DrManhattan basically quit using linux gui around the same time as gnome3
[03:06] <DrManhattan> the closest I would get now would be some kinda ncurses app
[03:07] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: if you replace unity shell with gnome-panel  that is what it used to be......
[03:07] <DrManhattan> nah I've tried out gnome panel
[03:07] <DrManhattan> it just aint the same
[03:07] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: xfce has the gnome2 smell
[03:08] <DrManhattan> there's nothing that compares to win7 and osx for GUI in linux. its not even close anymore
[03:08] <jhonatan> buenas
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: in your opinion
[03:08] <jhonatan> necesito ayudad
[03:08] <jhonatan> necesito ayuda
[03:08] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, of course, which is what it is
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: thats fine
[03:08] <ikonia> !ru | jhonatan
[03:09] <DrManhattan> but I don't really mean it in a fanboy way. I miss being able to use linux on desktop
[03:09] <jhonatan> ?
[03:09] <Evil_Eric> whats the command to veiw the log that shows broken things
[03:09] <somsip> !es | jhonatan
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: looks aren't important to me. I love how I can do full web browsing, media playback, cd burning and DVD playback for 3Gb space and 240Mb RAM :)
[03:10] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, yeah, I need GAMES
[03:10] <DrManhattan> hell, I need PDAnet
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: urban terror, penumbra, all the humble bundles
[03:10] <daxus> you can use wine to play windows games
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: steam is in beta
[03:10] <DrManhattan> lol
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: doom3 runs native as well as others
[03:10] <DrManhattan> cmon guys, im talking battlefield 3, Skyrim, GTA4 here
[03:11] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, opengl stuff. Yeah.
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=13667
[03:11] <DrManhattan> back when I played counterstrike a lot I used linux and wine
[03:11] <DrManhattan> I got way better framerates
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22316
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: still runs
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: world of warcraft gets better frames under wine
[03:13] <DrManhattan> Additional notes:
[03:13] <DrManhattan> Running on Low and Medium settings, High and Ultra ended up being to too choppy with my current hardware)
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQFBK1yNIxE :)
[03:13] <DrManhattan> Ihave a gtx570
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: congrats
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> penumbra is well worth the money, great survivor fps
[03:15] <DrManhattan> the vid shows linux as having 1/2 the framerate on wow but still, nice
[03:15] <DrManhattan> wait, never mine
[03:15] <DrManhattan> mind
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: yep :)
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: personally if i 'needed games' I'd get a console which is designed for that task and use the PC for the bigboy work
[03:18] <DrManhattan> I use it for both
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> i like the separation, makes sense
[03:18] <DrManhattan> and you're not going to do much professional level video editing or audio production in linux
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: there was one that won awards recently
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/oscar-winning-video-editor-lightworks-landing-on-linux-in-october

[03:20] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: an oscar....can't be bad
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: "Excited? You should be. Notable films edited using the software include .The King.s Speech. and .Hugo.."   still no good?
[03:21] <DrManhattan> Lightworks isn't exactly strictly linux
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: just because you don't know about it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist
[03:21] <arinov> how to remove broken packages?
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: who said it hads to be specifically Linux. Its a native video editor for linux
[03:22] <DrManhattan> Good for you :)
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> arinov: if you can give the output of:  sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename      pastebin the output please
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: not going to do much professional level video editting in linux..... disproved. Absolutely
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> arinov: something like pastebin.ubuntu.com :)
[03:23] <arinov> ActionParsnip, its not in english
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> arinov: no worries, paste away
[03:24] <arinov> ActionParsnip, rmdir: unknown key «--ignore-if-not-empty»
[03:24] <arinov> ok
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> arinov: use the pastebin and paste the whole text please
[03:24] <arinov> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373996/
[03:26] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, not disproved - but fanboy on :)
[03:26] <DrManhattan> Maybe you can go find me big buck bunny or some cinelerra projects too :))
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: I can just gve concrete examples of things to disprove what you say, not fanboying at all. Just pointing out incorrectness. There is a difference
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> arinov: is there a firebird server?
[03:32] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello!
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> arinov: sorry, channel
[03:32] <Emmanuel_Chanel> I installed Linux Mint 14 Nadia, based on Ubuntu 12.10. And I want to reconfigure gwibber with resetting everything.
[03:32] <Emmanuel_Chanel> But i cannot reset gwibber. How can I do that?
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: ask in the mint channel please
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> !mint | Emmanuel_Chanel
[03:34] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, That's nice. Still not going to do much pro level editing in linux.
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> DrManhattan: i already gave you a link how that is incorrect, move on
[03:35] <DrManhattan> ActionParsnip, That's nice. Still not going to do much pro level editing in linux.
[03:35] <Emmanuel_Chanel> If I take my problem for same as Ubuntu 12.10, what do you answer?
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: its not suported here
[03:35] <Emmanuel_Chanel> I know where Linux Mint channel is.
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: NONE of the 'ubuntu based' OSes are supported here
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: then why ask here
[03:36] <KI4RO> .
[03:36] <KI4RO> Where would one get help with Libre Office Spreadsheets?
[03:37] <Emmanuel_Chanel> I want to find answer with asking widely... :(
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: its not supported here
[03:37] <ubuntu_noob> hey guys, just did full install of ubuntu and going to give it a chance, but seems like intel graphic didn't install fully
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: the support for mintg is completely separate to Ubuntu
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_noob: are you fully updated?
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> Emmanuel_Chanel: similarly, ubuntu is based on debian. If you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you wil be pointed here
[03:38] <ubuntu_noob> yes, but under details graphic driver is unknown
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_noob: can you use a pastebin to give the output of:  sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a; xrandr
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_noob: something like http://pastebin.ubuntu.com
[03:40] <DrManhattan> Emmanuel_Chanel, maybe someone else will be able to help you reset gwibber. Hang in there, give it some time, and don't talk about mint :)
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> or just ask in the right place....
[03:41] <ubuntu_noob> all that's pops up is (PCI)
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_noob: give it time, your pci bus is slow
[03:42] <jotterbot1234> Hey fellas, I was wondering if anyone had time to look at my question on server fault regarding Ubuntu?
[03:42] <jotterbot1234> http://serverfault.com/questions/450718/ubuntu-12-04-server-eth0-1gbps-nic-eth1-10gbps-nic-all-traffic-using-eth0
[03:44] <ubuntu_noob> k, maybe problem is should of install 64bit instead......being i3 system
[03:45] <arinov> ActionParsnip, nope
[03:45] <arinov> ActionParsnip, but it was installed by ubuntu software center
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> !find firebird
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> indeed
[03:47] <ubuntu_noob> here's the results http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1374019/
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_noob: cool, and the rest of the command I gave, please :)
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_noob: you can scroll the terminal using the mouse pointer
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> arinov: are there any bugs reported?
[03:48] <brightsparks> I'm having difficulty getting the system to see a card reader with a memory card in it. It;s not showing up in the computer and I have looked in file Media and it's not show there neither
[03:49] <arinov> ActionParsnip, only my report
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> arinov: :(
[03:49] <brightsparks> Any suggestions welcome
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l    do you see the storage?
[03:51] <ubuntu_noob> here's the whole thing http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1374023/
[03:51] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: let me just that...
[03:51] <RamchandraApte> Doesn't ubuntu repos contain non-free apps? (like amnesia)
[03:52] <RamchandraApte> "Ubuntu applications are all free and open source — so you can share them with anyone you like, as often as you like." but non-free apps are there in the repos
[03:53] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: yes I see it
[03:53] <xangua> RamchandraApte: in the nonfree repository, do you have an ubuntu support question¿
[03:54] <RamchandraApte> xangua: I asked on #ubuntu-offtopic and they said ask on #ubuntu
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: can you manually mount it?
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> RamchandraApte: there are some nonfree (as in speech) apps, like flash
[03:55] <ubuntu_noob> got more updates maybe after restart can have drivers
[03:55] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: manually mount it? not sure.  A windows PC? Camera?
[04:00] <MrELusiveness> needing help
[04:00] <arinov> ActionParsnip, is there a way to remove package manually?
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: wassup?
[04:01] <linuxuz3r> how do i sign out off empathy?
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> arinov: could try:  sudo dpkg -r packagename
[04:01]  * DrManhattan puts his fists up in the air at ActionParsnip --cmon cmon put em up
[04:01] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: it says: mount: you must specify the file system type
[04:01] <MrELusiveness> ill pastebin in a sec
[04:01] <MrELusiveness> http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY
[04:01] <MrELusiveness> there

[04:01] <ActionParsnip> Bry8Star{EB: what file system is the SD card using?
[04:01] <MrELusiveness> not sure how i fubared it but so far reinstall of ubuntu look slike only option
[04:02] <MrELusiveness> http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[04:02] <MrELusiveness> checking

[04:03] <MrELusiveness> precise
[04:03] <MrELusiveness> i should have known that
[04:03] <MrELusiveness> :P
[04:03] <MrELusiveness> 12.04
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: then run:  sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/SD -t vfat -o rw,users,uid=1000
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: and if you run:  apt-cache policy wine    what version is installed?
[04:04] <brandon420> Can someone give me any idea on why my internet is sucking hardcore the past couple of days. I have no made any recent changes, and it is the only device that seems to have this problem
[04:04] <MrELusiveness> i have 1.4 installed but it says 1.5.17 as candidate
[04:04] <MrELusiveness> you should see what it says
[04:04] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: yep. Thank you v much for your help.
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: you could run:  sudo apt-get upgrade   and get that, then delete ~/.wine  see if it helps
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: when you want to remove it, run:  sudo umount /media/SD; sudo eject /dev/sdb1
[04:05] <MrELusiveness> ive deleted the hidden wine many times
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: you will probably find it automounts then (graceful and proper removal) :)
[04:05] <MrELusiveness> nothign seems to fix it
[04:06] <MrELusiveness> purge everyting doesnt work either
[04:06] <brandon420> ActionParsnip, isnt it /media/user/device?
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: not for manually mounted :)
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: get the update then run notepad to make the folder. May help
[04:06] <brandon420> oh okay. =)

[04:13] <kop> WeThePeople, minimal custom kernel but all said it really isn't worth the effort
[04:13] <MrELusiveness> that line upgraded nothing
[04:14] <kop> compiz is a real resource drain
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: use LXDE or XFCE instead, they use significantly fewer resources
[04:14] <kop> <---what he said , beat me to it
[04:16] <MrELusiveness> wel i ened to figure out what is causing that error and remove it
[04:16] <MrELusiveness> if i cant figure it out then its format time

[04:37] <rafase282> hello can someone help me with ssh? I want to set it up so I can ssh from outside my lan
[04:37] <MrELusiveness> http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY   ahem
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: port forward port 22/TCP in your routr to the IP of the system running the ssh server
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: is that with wine 1.5?
[04:38] <rafase282> can I forward multiple ports?
[04:38] <MrELusiveness> any of them
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: sure
[04:38] <MrELusiveness> its liek a perma phuck
[04:38] <rafase282> i have ssh, torrent client, and i want to use the internet
[04:39] <rafase282> i had this setup log ago but i cant remember how to do it
[04:39] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: can I pick your brains - whenever I return the memory card we just mounted to the digital camera the camera says the card is full and I have to remount and of course lose everything that was on the card. Any ideas?
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: did you unmount and eject it?
[04:40] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: I meant to say I have to reformat it in the camera. I unmounted it as you suggested via the terminal yes
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: you could check the file system for errors. Do you have a windows PC around?
[04:42] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: not at hand but later maybe - so check the file system on...?
[04:42] <MikeS11> I have problems with my flashplayer crashing. Does Firefox have a log which I might be able to use to find out more information about the problem? Where would this log be?
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: check the SD card is healthy. FAT32 isn't terribly robust
[04:42] <MrELusiveness> 1.4 wine
[04:42] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: I have had the same problem with using a different memory card.
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> MikeS11: can you pastebin the output of:   lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[04:43] <MrELusiveness> ActionParsnip
[04:43] <usr13> MikeS11:  You could run firefox from terminal and see what appears in the terminal as the flashplayer crashes.
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: did you try upgrading to 1.5?
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: I'd ask in #winehq too
[04:44] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: so you recommend mounting the card in windows and seeing if I have the same issue I take it that's what your saying? Guess I'll have to do that. Thanks.
[04:44] <MikeS11> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374083/
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> brightsparks: yeah, see if you can check the file system for errors too. Remember to use the safe remove in windows too
[04:45] <brightsparks> ActionParsnip: right
[04:46] <MikeS11> ActionParsnip & usr13 : When I ran firefox from terminal - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374084/
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> MikeS11: so, dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'   only outputs flashplugin-installer ?
[04:46] <MrELusiveness> oh man ive tried it all
[04:46] <MrELusiveness> no one seems to know how to fix it
[04:46] <MikeS11> ActionParsnip: Correct. I added in the firefox packages for bonus information.
[04:46] <MrELusiveness> and the worst part is i dont know how it got that way
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> MikeS11: uninstall flashplugin-installer  then enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin package, may help
[04:47] <MrELusiveness> if there is a way to fix it would be betetr than format
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: are there any bugs reported?
[04:47] <MikeS11> ActionParsnip: Sure, I'll give that a shot.
[04:47] <MrELusiveness> no
[04:47] <MrELusiveness> but i did find where others had ran into the same issue
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: could try removing wine and the .wine folder, then run:  sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install wine
[04:47] <usr13> MikeS11: One problem I see is: "Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS"  (You are behind on updates, it should be Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS).
[04:47] <MrELusiveness> some how corrupting stuff
[04:48] <MrELusiveness> i did that and with a purge too
[04:48] <MrELusiveness> purge every ver
[04:48] <MrELusiveness> and still no change
[04:48] <leviathann> I'm trying to install a game but when I do 'sudo sh game.run' or 'sudo bash game.run' it returns this. ' ./setup.sh: 192: ./setup.sh: /home/leviathann/.setup4849: not found'
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: if you run notepad instead of the winecfg app, is it different
[04:48] <usr13> ActionParsnip: That last comment may be an error on my part. I guess that designation reflects the install point.
[04:48] <MrELusiveness> nope
[04:48] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Right?
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> usr13: not wholly sure, sorry
[04:49] <MrELusiveness> iam starting to think my hd is cursed
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> leviathann: why are you running a game with sudo?
[04:49] <nikozzzzzz> Why
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: try making a fresh ubuntu user, log in as that and retry as that
[04:49] <MrELusiveness> eeek
[04:50] <blackshirt> !compile
[04:50] <blackshirt> Compile
[04:50] <MrELusiveness> there is something screwed up at root lvl
[04:50] <blackshirt> !compilekernel
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: its worth exploring
[04:50] <MrELusiveness> and iam not sure how cause its not like i can log in as root
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: you don't have to, nor should you
[04:50] <MrELusiveness> yeah this is very odd
[04:51] <MrELusiveness> it happened after i did some make's from source
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> MrELusiveness: just run:  sudo adduser test      set a password for test, log off then log in as test with the password you set
[04:51] <leviathann> ActionParsnip, as per these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory
[04:51] <MrELusiveness> yeah but if the error is root lvl it will effect all usr accounts new and old
[04:52] <MrELusiveness> iam going too look at the google again and see if anyone came up with a fix
[04:52] <MikeS11> ActionParsnip: hrm No good. Perhaps a different version of firefox
[04:53] <kop> I have better things to look at ...
[04:53] <kop> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374089/
[04:53] <kop> AP have a good one gtg

[05:05] <simplew> can anyone please explain me how can i disable unitu-greeter from having the wallpaper i set in my user account?
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> simplew: what we you rather?
[05:07] <nikozzzzzz> Uninstall i
[05:08] <nikozzzzzz> It
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> nikozzzzzz: its useful for logging in....
[05:08] <simplew> ActionParsnip: i would prefer to unity-greeter to keep the purple background instead changing to the same background as my user account
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> simplew: let me search
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> simplew: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc

[05:12] <Mephistophilus> hi everyone
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> hi Mephistophilus
[05:13] <simplew> ActionParsnip: i cant find wheres that purple background, isnt in /usr/share/wallpapers
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> simplew: could just download one from the web
[05:19] <rafase282> im having issues portforwading the transmission web interface
[05:20] <almoxarife> rafase282: are you firewalled?
[05:21] <almoxarife> rafase282: router or OS
[05:21] <rafase282> if I am it would be the router only
[05:21] <rafase282> the port is 9091
[05:22] <rafase282> i forwaded it but when i use my domain or the public adress it does not work
[05:22] <almoxarife> rafase282: ping the client from the host and vice versa
[05:22] <rafase282> only with the internal adress
[05:22] <brandon420> sorry, can you resend that, or pm me
[05:22] <brandon420> my internet is being retarded
[05:22] <AnOnqwq> hey
[05:23] <brandon420> hay
[05:23] <AnOnqwq> how i can to register there
[05:23] <AnOnqwq> ?
[05:24] <brandon420> ./ns register email passwd
[05:24] <brandon420> ./ns identify pass
[05:24] <simplew> ActionParsnip: no idea what script triggers unity-greeter background change when changing user background?
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> simplew: no idea, skinning lightdm is at the bottom of my worries, its on the screen for about 2 seconds so I don't care. It could be flat and grey and I'd still just log in and go
[05:25] <ar9> is there a universal live usb creator for ubuntu?
[05:25] <rafase282> its weird
[05:25] <rafase282> from the host i can ping it
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> ar9: unetbootin as well as ubb-creator-gtk
[05:26] <rafase282> from the mobile network it wont do it
[05:26] <rafase282> but i can ssh to it
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: maybe the mobile network blocks pings
[05:26] <rafase282> i think it was able to ping it before
[05:26] <almoxarife> rafase282: ok, ssh tunnel to it
[05:26] <rafase282> but regardless, im trying to use the hostname from the host
[05:27] <rafase282> so instead of using the local adress I use the public one or the hostname
[05:27] <rafase282> but it only works with the local adress
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: the host name will not resolve to your WAN IP unless you add it in your system's hosts file
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: you need to check the port forwarding in the router
[05:28] <rafase282> I did, and it has the right port
[05:29] <rafase282> so how do I add my new host to my sistem?
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: I can connect to your IP
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: obviously I don't have credentials
[05:30] <rafase282> ??
[05:30] <rafase282> you connected to my router?
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: I did a whois on you and it gave a hostname. I then SSH'd to it and got asked for credentials
[05:30] <AnOnqwq> ./ns register<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:31] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: I'd ask in #freenode for registering help :)
[05:31] <rafase282> You scared me there for a moment
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: I can't get in, I don't have an account. But I hit an SSH server
[05:31] <rafase282> I can connect from outside the network, yet transmission will not work from outside the network
[05:31] <rafase282> yeah I have it running
[05:31] <rafase282> does it matter the port for it?
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: how do you mean 'will not work'?
[05:32] <almoxarife> rafase282: tunnel via ssh
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: what are yu trying to do with transmission?
[05:32] <rafase282> well im trying to use an app from my phone to send .torrent files to my server at home so it can download the torrent without me having to do it from my server
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: I do the same, did you enable the web UI?
[05:32] <rafase282> so currently i am unable to do it unless im on the lan
[05:33] <rafase282> yes
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: and what port is it using?
[05:33] <rafase282> it was working before i had to restart the server
[05:33] <rafase282> but idk what am I missing this time
[05:33] <zabomber1> rafase282: you are looking to setup a PPTP VPN
[05:33] <rafase282> 9091
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: then match that port in the port forwarding the same way you setup SSH
[05:33] <rafase282> idk how to set a vpn
[05:33] <rafase282> i was using ssh for updating and stuff
[05:33] <rafase282> samba for file sharing
[05:34] <rafase282> and transmission-cli with the web ui
[05:34] <zabomber1> rafase282: http://darrynvt.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/setup-l2tpipsec-vpn-ubuntu/
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: you can use SFTP which you get with openssh-server and access your data from anywhere
[05:34] <zabomber1> thats the guide i used to setup my vpn
[05:34] <zabomber1> it worked 100%
[05:34] <rafase282> the port match tho
[05:34] <hds> hello
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: have you configured any firewalling on the server?
[05:35] <hds> does anybody know about mactime command from tsk?
[05:35] <rafase282> I dont know the commands for transfering files like that
[05:35] <rafase282> Action, no
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: nautilus can do it, no need for 'commands'
[05:35] <rafase282> My security must suck
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: you have a router so you'll be fine
[05:35] <rafase282> well the whole thing is to acces my files away from home
[05:35] <rafase282> my own cloud
[05:36] <brandon420> rafase282, check your pms
[05:36] <rafase282> the server is with arclinux-arm tho
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: tried changing the port number then resetting up the port forward?
[05:36] <rafase282> my desktop with ubuntu
[05:36] <rafase282> but i use my android phone more often to pass files around
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: so how is this an ubuntu issue if the server is arch?
[05:37] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: :)
[05:39] <rafase282> Action, it is not a OS issue
[05:39] <rafase282> the thing works on a local network
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: but this channel is OS specific
[05:40] <rafase282> well Im talking from an ubuntu machine from which im testing and can only acces with the local ip instead of the public ip, does that counts?
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: the server OS is arch
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> rafase282: if you are having issues with the server then ask in the arch channel
[05:45] <rafase282> ok
[05:50] <AnOnqwq> hello
[05:50] <AnOnqwq> some help thr plz
[05:53] <cousin_luigi> Greetings.
[05:53]  * cousin_luigi recently upgraded from precise to quantal and now the hard disk is rather noisy on startup.
[05:54] <cousin_luigi> Anything new in the controller module or is it an upstart vagary?
[05:54] <dr_willis> nothing ive ever heard about cousin_luigi .
[05:55] <cousin_luigi> I see.
[05:55] <AnOnqwq> some help
[05:55] <juniour> gud morning :)
[05:55] <dr_willis> upstart laumches services in parallel when it can. like it always has
[05:56] <dr_willis> i will mention  that ive found hard drives to be the weakest link in the hardware of a system
[05:56] <cousin_luigi> dr_willis: I'm aware of the issue, but it's otherwise functional.
[05:56] <dr_willis> ive seem them die without any real warning ;(
[05:57] <dr_willis> a hd suddendly making lots of noise would be so mthing to definatly keep an eye on
[05:57] <cousin_luigi> The close correlation between upgrade and noise makes me wary of that.
[05:57] <cousin_luigi> It's not the usual clicking sound when the voice coil is starting to fail.
[05:59] <almoxarife> i am assuming the big boy talk will lead somewhere interesting?
[05:59] <AnOnqwq> some one cam give me a help plz?
[05:59] <dr_willis> AnOnqwq:  state the problem and see who can help.
[06:00] <AnOnqwq> me i use the ubuntu "anonymous-os 01
[06:00] <MrELusiveness> http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY
[06:00] <AnOnqwq> and i want to know more abot the os
[06:00] <MrELusiveness> WE WILLS EE IF ANYONE HAS A CLUE ABOUT MY PROBLEM
[06:00] <MrELusiveness> oops sorry about the capos
[06:00] <MrELusiveness> http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY
[06:01] <dr_willis> ive never  heard of  'anonymusOs' i imagine its som e ubuntu variant thats NOT supported by this channel.
[06:01] <MrELusiveness> huh?
[06:01] <AnOnqwq> anonymous OS
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: isnt that BSD based?
[06:01] <cousin_luigi> I thought it was the one with tor and all that jazz.
[06:01] <MrELusiveness> where you seing that?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> kaos.theory's Anonym.OS LiveCD is a bootable live cd based on OpenBSD that provides a hardened operating environment whereby all ingress traffic is denied and all egress traffic is automatically and transparently encrypted and/or anonymized.
[06:01] <cousin_luigi> But probably ubuntu based.
[06:02] <almoxarife> MrELusiveness: take it to #wine
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: that ^
[06:02] <MrELusiveness> they dont knwo either
[06:02] <MrELusiveness> lol
[06:02] <almoxarife> MrELusiveness: take it to #windoz
[06:02] <AnOnqwq> thx very much
[06:02] <MrELusiveness> lol
[06:02] <cousin_luigi> bbl
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: its a question, is that what you mean?
[06:03] <MrELusiveness> and I am in winehq
[06:03] <AnOnqwq> is stabile or have trojan?
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: then how is that Ubuntu? 1. It's not Ubuntu 2. It's not even Linux, It's BSD....so why ask in a channel which ONLY supports Ubuntu?
[06:04] <AnOnqwq> sorry but i dont know that
[06:04] <AnOnqwq> im new and i want to learn ubuntu
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: try on of the bsd channels
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> AnOnqwq: then install Ubuntu if you want to learn Ubuntu....
[06:05] <dr_willis> AnOnqwq:  start by using ubuntu then?
[06:05] <dr_willis> !manual | AnOnqwq
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> AbyssOne: why are you grabbing Anonymous OS which isn't Ubuntu, when you want to learn Ubuntu...it makes no sense at all
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> gone
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> I can't think of something more wrong, asking for BSD support in an ubuntu support channel
[06:10] <dr_willis> asking for relationship advice in #foreveralone   :0 More wrong....
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> haha
[06:11]  * dr_willis just made up #foreveralone  i dont evne know if its a channel on freenode. ;)
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: it can be ;)
[06:13] <dr_willis> oh yea. a support question. if ones runs xbmc. has anyone else noticced it disabling the second monitor? seems to turn off twinview here for me, it used to run properly on monitor #2
[06:13] <almoxarife> dr_willis: the beta?
[06:13] <almoxarife> frodo?
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> not used xbmc in ages. I use vlc + web UI + android phone :)
[06:14] <almoxarife> frodo is not ready for prime time
[06:14] <dr_willis> i dont think its the beta. i dont  think i got the ppa enabled
[06:15] <almoxarife> cable=120US, xbmc=free, :)
[06:15] <underk> how can I install splinter cell on windows?
[06:15] <dr_willis> ill have to double check when i get home

[06:16] <dr_willis> !wine | underk
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> howto remove zeitgeist without corrupt unity-desktop?
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> underk: check the appdb for compatibility

[06:19] <underk> but cross-over seems nice indeed.
[06:19] <dr_willis> the ccsm tool can break things.. be carefull with it
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> dr_willis:ive installed ccsm, didnt find wobbly windows on 12.10
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> lotuspsychje: run:  dpkg -l | grep compiz | grep plug

[06:20] <dr_willis> may be extra plugins.. i find wobly windows the sort of thing best frogotten
[06:20] <almoxarife> wobbly windows? why?
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> lotuspsychje: then run:  apt-cache search compiz | grep plug     see what is different

[06:22] <Jezzz> almoxarife:  not sure if it's related
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: you can set nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces too
[06:23] <brandon420> ActionParsnip, what would i set them too?
[06:23] <almoxarife> brandon420: fix what?
[06:23] <brandon420> i can use irc
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> ActionParsnip:you think its in compiz-plugins-extra ?
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: whatever you like, you could use <IP_ADDRESS> if you desire
[06:23] <brandon420> but the actual internet is really unstable
[06:23] <underk> didn't know irssi, that  seems cool !
[06:23] <almoxarife> brandon420: the (nm) applet will allow you to set your own DNS
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> lotuspsychje: try it, it's free :)
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> lol ok tnx
[06:24] <brandon420> almoxarife, does it matter what i set it to?
[06:24] <almoxarife> does irssi have a gui?
[06:24] <brandon420> no
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: it runs in a terminal
[06:24] <MaGeD_> Hello noob question : is there anyway to configure " rar " to rar files without compression "-m0 " using the right click context menu not with commands ,, i know how to do it with command " rar a -m0 "
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: pidgin has a gtk gui
[06:24] <brandon420> xchat <3
[06:24] <dr_willis> irssi and weechat are text/ncurses based type interfaces
[06:24] <almoxarife> brandon420: no, but it would help if it actually dishes out dns
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> MaGeD_: you can use nautilus-scripts to do that type of thing
[06:25] <almoxarife> so i could run irssi in my gui cli?
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: sure, you can have a tab, or a separate terminal running IRSSI
[06:25] <dr_willis> almoxarife:  you cantoma  run terminal apps in a terminal. ;) yes
[06:27] <almoxarife> i will stick with konversation
[06:27] <MaGeD_> ActionParsnip : Thanks , will google that
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: irssi is handy if you are at work and can ssh to your system :)
[06:28] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: not me, i would ssh to the home makina and run something in a gui, terminal is scary
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: not really
[06:29] <dr_willis> scary is people who dont want to learn .;)
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: you'll run issi then type:  /connect irc.freenode.net
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: and you can switch nick and join channels..
[06:30] <dr_willis> znc and screen are handy tools to go along with irssi and weechat
[06:30] <brandon420> almoxarife, thanks man
[06:30] <brandon420> that worked.
[06:30] <brandon420> set it to <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:30] <almoxarife> how is 'fish' diff from 'sftp' , i noticed the option on dolphin, so i set it up, i dont see a diff within dolphin between the two
[06:31] <almoxarife> brandon420: time for the next phase, a nice dns cache with filtering, dnsmasq?
[06:31] <brandon420> what does that do?
[06:32] <almoxarife> brandon420: it stops evidoers from invading the web browser
[06:32] <adysin> http://ubuntu.com
[06:33] <almoxarife> brandon420: the cache remembers recent pages you visited, so you dont have to go to a dns server again, the filtering is a matter of taste, what dont you want to have the browser open?
[06:34] <adysin> hay fiend ..
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: also if you put web cache in tempfs you get a pretty slick web connection :)
[06:37] <brandon420> almoxarife, that sounds a bit extreme for my needs
[06:37] <brandon420> lmao
[06:37] <brandon420> my internet at home is fine
[06:37] <brandon420> my sisters makes me want to jump off a cliff
[06:37] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: explain that, how what where? you are over my head
[06:38] <disaconnex> anyone have some "steam://install" commands for some steam games? the list of games available is empty but i can install if i know the commands
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: what browser do you use?
[06:39] <bazhang> !steam | disaconnex
[06:39] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: two, chromium and rekonq
[06:39] <disaconnex> thanks
[06:39] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: mostly rekonq
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: if you look in ~/.cache  do you see a folder for chromium?
[06:39] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: yes
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: what is the folder name?
[06:40] <almoxarife> chromium
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: close all chromiums and run: sudo mkdir /run/chromium ; sudochown $USER:$USER /run/chromium; rm -r ~/.cache/chromium; ln -s /run/chromium ~/.cache/chromium
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: basically it makes a folder under /run and makes it owned by your user, then symlinks a new empty folder to the tempfs.
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: the folder is lost at reboot (clears temp cache) but your RAM now holds your temp internet files. If they are used then they will load from RAM (faster than your crappy HDD)
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: also, if you use an SSD, it reduces wear as you are not writing temp web guff to the SSD, prolonging life
[06:44] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: i got it, i will try it with rekonq, thats the one i mosty use, chromium i use for business only these days
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: same bag, make a folder
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: I have the comamnds in /etc/rc.local so that the folders are recreated on bootup
[06:45] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: is the diff apperciable?
[06:45] <almoxarife> appreciable
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: should be. why waste time writing to HDD the to RAM :)
[06:46] <almoxarife> almoxarife: what keeps the cache one from getting re-wrote?
[06:46] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: that was for you :)
[06:47]  * dr_willis wonders how the changes  to /run/ survive a reboot.. or did i miss somthing
[06:47] <almoxarife> the /etc/rc would
[06:47]  * dr_willis rereads
[06:47] <almoxarife> dr_willis: yes, you missed it
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: I add commands to /etc/rc.local to recreate and re-chown

[06:55] <jakepetroules> for debian/changelog the manual says "distribution(s) lists the distributions where this version should be installed when it is uploaded - it is copied to the Distribution field in the .changes file. See Distribution, Section 5.6.14."
[06:55] <underk> ah ok :(
[06:55] <jakepetroules> can i leave that part blank?
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: sometimes they are

[06:58] <joehe> hello, all
[06:58] <lotuspsychje> bazhang:well it was on previous ubuntu version, zeitgeist changed on 12.10 so it wouldnt be correct anymore
[06:59] <underk> sorry to be off topic, so thank's ActionParsnip, you're nice
[06:59] <lotuspsychje> bazhang:would be handy to have a !zeitgeist trigger for proper removal
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> underk: I try
[06:59] <joehe> i try to use Pin: origin in my apt , but it seems not working after i checked with apt-cache, anyone could help me ?
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> underk: thanks :)
[07:00] <dr_willis> !pin
[07:01] <lotuspsychje> dr_willis:you know a package for extended indicators?
[07:01] <dr_willis> extended indicators?
[07:02] <lotuspsychje> dr_willis:yes like alternative ones (weather, battery,cpu)
[07:02] <dr_willis> askubuntu.com has a list of 'indicator-applets'  search for indicator applet, and sorrt by 'votes'
[07:02] <bazhang> lotuspsychje, apt-cache search indicator
[07:03] <dr_willis> search the repos for 'indicator applet' also
[07:03] <lotuspsychje> tnx
[07:03] <xro> Hi, i have an ubuntu 12.10 64bits... i need the liblept3 package. As i can see it s not in the depot, rigth? should i download it from he web?
[07:04] <dr_willis> xro:  if somthing is not in the repos. next would be find a ppa for it. or use source to compile it
[07:04] <joehe> hi ubottu,  yes , but it seems 'Pin: origin"" ' does not work in my Ubuntu.
[07:04] <bazhang> xro, what do you need it for
[07:05] <dr_willis> joehe:  ubottu  is just a factoid bot.
[07:05] <waynemcl> Hi, where in xchat does one add a new IRC server please?

[07:09] <Heather_> I'm following this guy to fix ubuntu install. Says I need a unformatted filesystem with bios_grub flag. I'm using gparted and I'm guessing that the bios_grub should be put as label?
[07:09] <Heather_> guide*
[07:13] <dr_willis> a label is not the same as a flag Heather_
[07:15] <dr_willis> im not sure you can set a label on a unformated filesystem eiher. ;)
[07:16] <ar9> im trying to use but everytime i run it it gets stuck completely

[07:18] <Guest20828> in xubuntu how do i phone a shared folder over a netwrok it keeps asking what program to use but wont work
[07:19] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: I do.  I spoke with you a few days ago even!
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> Guest20828: pcmanfm can access samba shares

[07:20] <dina_> i am trying to install vue on ubuntu
[07:26] <foo357> scripting question I get a list of files from doing a bit of piping and I have a directory stored in a variable, how can I pass these arguments to cp so it will copy the files to the folder?
[07:26] <SpaceRocket> dina,  check this URL for downloading in installing VUE http://vue.tufts.edu/download/index.cfm?fromvue=1
[07:29] <xro> Is someone using pathon-tesseract, it needs a lot of missing package --> liblept3, libtiff5 ... is there a simpe way to make it works?
[07:29] <monkzero> Hi, very new to the linux world. I have an issue that in terminal I'm flooded with "[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PMC - unhandled INTR 0x00040000" all i know is that nouveau is my video driver. but I cant figure out how to stop this. thanks for any help.
[07:37] <dr_willis> monkzero:  i recall /etc/sysconfig (i think thats the name) has some kernel logging level options. ive had to edit it in the past to stop error message floods.
[07:37] <dr_willis> not on ubuntu right now so i cant verify the name
[07:51] <MiteshShah> when I remove php* its remove some of lightdm packages any idea?
[07:53] <MiteshShah> sudo apt-get remove --purge php* its remove php as well as lightdm packages so after that I face no login session.
[07:53] <MiteshShah> I'm wonder why its remove lightdm packages?

[08:01] <btral> i have a file that create it a script?
[08:01] <btral> how find file maker of a special file?
[08:02] <essomba84_> hi
[08:03] <dr_willis> what sort of special file?
[08:04] <btral> how see maker of files?
[08:04] <btral> maker is a script
[08:04] <dr_willis> ls -l shows sho owns a file..
[08:04] <dr_willis> shows who owns...
[08:07] <btral> dr_willis: no i dont want to see it's owner. i want to fine what script genereted it.
[08:08] <dr_willis> it dosen work  that way
[08:08] <btral> dr_willis: ok. thank you
[08:09] <dr_willis> unless the scrip somehow put in some comments..
[08:09] <dr_willis> script runs as user bob... files made would be owned by bob normally

[08:22] <ServerSage> So I have a funny question.  My washer & dryer talk over a serial port, and I've been thinking about some kind of device to sit between them and monitor the communication so that I could text or email when the washer is done.  Does anybody know of a device that allows snooping a serial connection?
[08:23] <adknight87> I have a question about how links are loading applications
[08:23] <adknight87> Links from browsers
[08:24] <almoxarife> ServerSage: want to text the washer or the dryer?
[08:26] <dr_willis> ServerSage:  sounds like a good job for a raspberry pi  ;)
[08:27] <almoxarife> adknight87: thats a good question, i think chrome/chromium depends on xdg, konqueror depends on mimetypes(not totally sure) , rekonq(beats the hell out of me)
[08:28] <adknight87> Okay so I've been working on xdg-open
[08:28] <almoxarife> adknight87: imagine that :)
[08:28] <adknight87> Lol
[08:28] <adknight87> Anyways I have a wine application that can launch with a protocol link attached to it.
[08:30] <adknight87> But when I set up the x-scheme-handler I'm not sure what I'm doing
[08:30] <almoxarife> adknight87: you sure it does not already exist out on the internet tubes?
[08:30] <adknight87> I know it works half way because it brings the application to the front but it doesn't open the link as if I were to type the whole command into terminal
[08:30] <adknight87> This is my last resort
[08:31] <adknight87> Nothing explains the exec= "my file" __ <--- example %u
[08:31] <matcouto> Hi y'all. my system suddenly crashes. Is there any log file that holds this kind of error/information that I could check and see whats going on?
[08:32] <almoxarife> matcouto: look at /var/log/syslog
[08:32] <almoxarife> matcouto: look at /var/log/syslog kern.log too
[08:33] <adknight87> The only thing I came close to anything like the application I'm using is steam
[08:34] <almoxarife> adknight87: you might try ##linux, but they will require more info than you provided here
[08:34] <adknight87> alright brb
[08:35] <SpaceRocket> how to set the DNS IP permanently ?
[08:35] <almoxarife> SpaceRocket: via the 'networkmanager' applet
[08:35] <SpaceRocket> almoxarife, I did but when I verify that I'm using OpenDNS it fails
[08:37] <almoxarife> SpaceRocket: i dont know what you are trying to do, you asked a question and i gave you the simple place to make the entry
[08:37] <adknight87> tracert?
[08:38] <matcouto> almoxarife: a lot of ACPI ERRO in the kern.log. Would it have anything to do with these crashes?
[08:39] <almoxarife> matcouto: no idea, but it cant be good to see alot of those errors
[08:39] <dr_willis> adknight87:  ive seen the %u and other variables defined in some gnome docs.  nautilus scripting info perhaps.
[08:40] <adknight87> think you can point me to them
[08:40] <dr_willis> nope.... on my phone.
[08:40] <adknight87> xD
[08:40] <adknight87> Thanks
[08:40] <almoxarife> adknight87: the %u is something that is picked up from source app, if that makes sense
[08:41] <ServerSage> almoxarife: I want to text me when they talk to each other.  :)
[08:41] <ServerSage> dr_willis: Thats the plan, I have one sitting on my desk.  Just need the hardware to do it.
[08:41] <llutz> adknight87: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
[08:41] <almoxarife> ServerSage: if you can tap in between then run wireshark,
[08:41] <dr_willis>  %u ciuld be url    ie a path to a file. or http://  type thing
[08:42] <adknight87> Suppose to work then but it doesn't
[08:42] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Thats the bit I'm unclear about, how to tap in.  Is it enough to just put a connector in the middle?  Or do I need a box to read it?  I'm not much of a hardware guy.
[08:43] <almoxarife> ServerSage: is it ethernet line?
[08:43] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Serial
[08:44] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Ethernet would be simple.  :P
[08:44] <almoxarife> ServerSage: i am not sure, you sure we are talking washer and dryer?
[08:45] <ServerSage> almoxarife: lol.  Yeah, it's a washer and a dryer.  When the washer finishes it passes what was in the washer on to the dryer.  So if you have the washer set to blankets, the dryer gets set to blankets automatically.
[08:45] <etag_> yo can anyone help me with remote veiwing?
[08:45] <ServerSage> almoxarife: I'm hoping to exploit that and when it sends the info also fire a text to me or the wife saying, "Hey, washer is done.
[08:46] <dr_willis> etag_: give us more details
[08:46] <etag_> i have a vps that is running 12.04 and i would like to use a remote desktop
[08:46] <dr_willis> ServerSage: some samsung appliances can do that ;)
[08:47] <etag_> i'm trying the xrdp but i get 'failed to load session ;ubuntu'
[08:47] <etag_> i'm useing win7 btw...
[08:47] <etag_> any ideas?
[08:47] <ServerSage> dr_willis: Unfortunately I don't have a samsung washer/dryer.  lol.  I'm pretty sure the wife isn't going to buy a new washer/dryer just to get this.  Thought it'd be a great task for the pi though.
[08:47] <dr_willis> etag_: ssh and x forwarding would be easier to get going
[08:48] <almoxarife> ServerSage: this is talking out my xxxxxx, if its serial then you need to receive the serial and then send it as received to the dryer :), meanwhile you would need something to send the received serial to txt, no idea how you are going to splice in though
[08:48] <etag_> ok...i have ssh...what is x forwarding? and the issue is that i don't do very good at ssh
[08:48] <ServerSage> almoxarife: You're actually a genius, the answer was right there and I totally missed it!
[08:48] <etag_> which is why i would like the remote desktop
[08:48] <almoxarife> ServerSage: genius, yeah, thats me
[08:49] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Two serial ports on the pi, one that reads from the washer, the other than feeds the dryer.  The pi just acts as a relay between them, and sends the text/email.    Thanks for the kick in the brain.  Much appreciated.
[08:50] <etag_> wait? what?
[08:50] <almoxarife> ServerSage: welcome :), say hi to the washer for me
[08:50] <petan> talking about server now but it's generally linux wide
[08:50] <dr_willis> etag_: install xming on windiws. install sshserver on the server
[08:50] <ServerSage> almoxarife: The dryer may get jealous.
[08:50] <almoxarife> true, dryers are touchy that way
[08:51] <fiveop> Got ndiswrapper setup and found a driver for my chipset (Dell 1704 ...). Now when I load that driver (.inf) via ndisgtk, ndiswrapper -l says 'driver intalled, device (...) present', but when I modprobe ndiswrapper nothing happens (regarding iwconfig) and the kernel log tells me that ndiswrapper could not prepare and subsequently load the driver.
[08:51] <etag_> server has ssh
[08:51] <ServerSage> I'm sure there is a line about dryers and women there, but I'm not touching it.
[08:51] <almoxarife> ServerSage: wh do you want to know what the washer is saying?
[08:51] <fiveop> What next
[08:51] <etag_> so get xming?
[08:51] <almoxarife> why
[08:51] <ServerSage> almoxarife: I don't need to know *what* it is saying, just that it is saying something.  That way, when the washer talks to the dryer I know it's time to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer.
[08:51] <dr_willis> etag_: err  .. yes...
[08:52] <etag_> ok...then what...once i have it...
[08:52] <almoxarife> ServerSage: got it, makes sense
[08:52] <dr_willis> ServerSage: that should make it easier
[08:52] <ServerSage> almoxarife: Sounds silly, but our washer/dryer are in the garage, and even at it's loudest we can't hear the buzzer.  And of course we forget all about it.
[08:52] <dr_willis> etag_: install it.. read its docs.. run it.. cinnect to server
[08:53] <almoxarife> ServerSage: got it, i am guessing a wind up alarm clock would not be an option
[08:53] <ServerSage> almoxarife: How very 1980 of you.
[08:53] <almoxarife> too steampunk :)
