[20:11] <gkaklas> Galvatron, Fat-Thing, it is true, 12.04 graphics are pretty unstable. If you want you should give Kubuntu (KDE) a try. (The  unstability of unity etc. was one of the reasons i switched to debian btw)
[20:11] <faceface> L3top: zykotick9 had it
[20:11] <faceface> ty
[20:11] <Fat-Thing> what about mint!?
[20:11] <gkaklas> Fat-Thing, if you want a clean reinstall usb or cd is the only way. Otherwise you should use the update manager...
[20:11] <zastaph> guntbert, right.. but I have a situation where I want my app to be able to use networking, and don't know beforehand what services it wants to call, but it would be so much simpler if I could decide each time it wants to access something new, as it happens.. I do it all the time on Windows with various firewall apps
[20:11] <L3top> !poll | Fat-Thing
[20:12] <dtcrshr> Fat-Thing: mint is awesome

[20:12] <Galvatron> Fat-Thing: You can quite add the "Mint" software/theme set to your existing Ubuntu installation.
[20:12] <Galvatron> *quite easily
[20:12] <user11357> ubottu: I'm starting to think you are a bot.
[20:13] <guntbert> zastaph: I can imagine that might be useful for you  - I was very annoyed at the various windows "personal firewalls" - and I have no idea if such a program might exist - sorry
[20:13] <wilee-nilee> lol
[20:13] <Fat-Thing> i want to try mint so how can i possibly switch my ubuntu 10.04 to mint 12? i think that's the latest on `em
[20:13] <L3top> user11357: I do not know, as I am an ignorant American and the world has converted to suit me... but I believe that in the UI if you are in 1204 and you click the top button on the panel on the lefthand side and type keyboard  you may find what you are looking for
[20:13] <wilee-nilee> !cookie | user11357 good discovery
[20:14] <leontopod> how do I choose I wireless network to connect to?
[20:14] <wilee-nilee> Fat-Thing, you need to install a convert is not advised, as well mint is not supported here. :)
[20:15] <user11357> this... is my ANGRY FACE
[20:15] <gkaklas> Fat-Thing, if you want to try mint you should get a cd and install it over ubuntu...
[20:15] <Galvatron> dtcrshr: I had been using Mint Update in 11.04, before migrating to 12.04, and it was actually much better than Cannonical's solution.
[20:15] <Fat-Thing> sorry sorry my bad
[20:15] <L3top> !mint
[20:15] <Fat-Thing> i think i just need ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx
[20:15] <zastaph> guntbert, personal firewall was the keyword for my googling :) http://serverfault.com/questions/7613/is-there-a-personal-firewall-for-linux-ubuntu
[20:15] <dtcrshr> i use mint for some years now. use lmde on my desktop and the regular version on my noteboo, nothing to complaim
[20:16] <Fat-Thing> gkaklas, pls help me how to reinstall my ubuntu 10.04 lucid
[20:16] <Galvatron> Fat-Thing: Alternatively, you might always try MATE or XFCE
[20:16] <L3top> !downgrade | Fat-Thing
[20:16] <gkaklas> Sorry guys but i reaaally have to go. See you around! :)
[20:16] <wilee-nilee> Fat-Thing, download 10.04 from ubuntu.com and install.
[20:16] <Galvatron> Fat-Thing: The only good way of downgrade is a format
[20:17] <Fat-Thing> i think it's possible using the terminal without downloading a new ubuntu 10.04
[20:17] <notze> e.g.
[20:17] <Galvatron> Fat-Thing: But first, If you're gonna dump the system anyways, try KDE and MATE
[20:17] <Fat-Thing> Galvatron, i just need to reinstall i'm using 10.04 now and that ain't downgrading
[20:17] <Galvatron> Fat-Thing: You have pretty much nothing to lose
[20:17] <notze> bad headerline
[20:17] <notze> while updating
[20:17] <zastaph> guntbert: http://sourceforge.net/projects/leopardflower/screenshots/310125
[20:17] <L3top> Fat-Thing: the desktop manager you want, is completely your choice. you can give them a try. I expect you will like KDE... sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop         if you dont like it, uninstall it and try another, perhaps xfce... there is no reason to do full installs because you dislike one
[20:18] <user11357> !slap
[20:18] <notze> or pgp failure!!
[20:18] <notze> or 404
[20:18] <Galvatron> Pre 4.8 KDE is a kill for an older systems - too heavy and slow
[20:18] <L3top> !enter | notze
[20:18] <Fat-Thing> so i wanna try xfce so does it support conky!?
[20:18] <Zentaur> do you know how to add an application to the new mwnu in 12.04?
[20:19] <user11357> woof
[20:19] <Orpheon> can someone tell me where I can find this?
[20:19] <Zentaur> sorry... i mean menu
[20:19] <Orpheon> Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[20:19] <Galvatron> Fat-Thing: I believe Conky is desktop-independent
[20:19] <vlt> Zentaur: Run it, right click the icon, lock it to the launcher
[20:19] <guntbert> zastaph: have fun with that :-)
[20:19] <L3top> user11357: you are going to be banned... did you follow my advice?
[20:19] <zykotick9> Orpheon: did you install nvidia from the ubuntu repo (additional drivers or whatever it's called)?
[20:19] <Orpheon> yes
[20:19] <Fat-Thing> i prefer to use conky than those applets that suck much ram usage
[20:20] <Orpheon> a few days ago, I updated my drivers through update manager
[20:20] <L3top> there are well over a thousand people in here, and we dedicate our time to help people. There are better forums to express dissatisfaction.
[20:20] <Orpheon> who requested it
[20:20] <Orpheon> since then, wine has complained that it can't find opengl
[20:20] <Zentaur> i don't want it in the launches just in the .... well i don't know how to call it... vlt
[20:20] <Orpheon> I searched a bit
[20:20] <L3top> Fat-Thing: top
[20:20] <Orpheon> and then I found this in the .xsession_errors in the home dir
[20:20] <L3top> Fat-Thing: in cli
[20:21] <Orpheon> and seeing as compiz crashes too when wine does
[20:21] <L3top> !enter | Orpheon
[20:21] <Orpheon> and that the errors appear together and are often the same
[20:21] <user11357> Okay... Yes I did. I cannot understand. I am probably going to go mad by the end of the day. I basically rendered my netbook trash in my opinion when I got curious and installed Ubuntu on it. Sorry
[20:21] <Orpheon> sorry
[20:21] <vlt> user11357: What did you use befor?
[20:22] <avis> former first lady hillary has a prenup and has money hidden from her husband and she cheated on her husband first.

[20:22] <user11357> WinXP. That was about a year and a half ago.
[20:22] <user11357> I have learned a great bit, I must admit, though.
[20:22] <Galvatron> Orpheon: Here is a PPA for the latest stable NV drivers: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[20:22] <meco> How can I find the swapfile. I think it's supposed to be in / but it isn't.
[20:22] <L3top> user11357: what happened when you clicked the button, typed keyboard, and opened the interface for keyboard options?
[20:22] <Orpheon> Galvatron: That's what I'm currently using
[20:23] <L3top> meco: there is a swap partition, not a file... you cannot "see" it as such
[20:23] <zykotick9> meco: really a swapfile?  or a swap partition?
[20:23] <vlt> meco: `cat /proc/swaps`
[20:23] <Galvatron> Trying Wine 1.4 might also be a good idea
[20:23] <Orpheon> Galvatron: That's the wine I'm using
[20:23] <L3top> snap vlt... thanks for that
[20:23] <meco> Right. It's a partition.
[20:23] <gohdan> L3top, Fat-Thing: or 'htop' it is a lot easier to organize (e.g no recompilation), split the shell with screen and you can cram all kinda crap in there
[20:23] <meco> Is there any way I can purge the swap partition?
[20:24] <L3top> ty gohdan...
[20:24] <Galvatron> Orpheon: What  exactly are you tring to run under Wine?
[20:24] <L3top> why do you feel such is necessary meco
[20:24] <zykotick9> meco: running without swap will make your system slower.
[20:24] <L3top> meco:  it does not operate as windows does.
[20:24] <vlt> meco: Sure. `swapoff <device>` or `swapoff -a`, remove it from /etc/fstab and then whatever you like with the space gained-.
[20:25] <meco> L3top: There is something crashing on my system all the time.
[20:25]  * L3top agrees with zykotick9
[20:25] <L3top> meco: let us help you figure out what that is... it is not your swap partition
[20:25] <vlt> meco: I doubt it is in any way related to swap.
[20:25] <Orpheon> Galvatron: A small game which requires DirectX. It worked beforehand, but ever since that update it stopped. It complains I should install directX. Running it in Terminal gives the output that wine cannot initialize opengl. I tried reinstalling about every single version and combination of nvidia drivers, wine versions and opengl stuff, it still never worked.
[20:25] <L3top> meco: cat /var/log/dmesg | grep -i error
[20:25] <meco> L3top: I've submitted a bug report to ubuntu a week ago but nobody is responding to it.
[20:26] <zykotick9> lol
[20:26] <Galvatron> meco: If you have at least 1280MB of RAM, you can resign of SWAP
[20:26] <user11357> How do I leave in IRC? I think I should just leave you guys alone.
[20:26] <meco> Galvatron: I have less than that
[20:26]  * vlt spotted a case of uselessuseofcat ;-)
[20:26] <Galvatron> Orpheon: What game? Have you chcecked it's status in Wine's database?
[20:26] <L3top> meco: this release is a couple of weeks old with rather a lot of users. I know of no OS with ubuntu's level of response.
[20:26] <meco> L3top: cat /var/log/dmesg | grep -i error yielded nothing
[20:27] <Galvatron> user11357: Clothe the IRC program, for instance
[20:27] <vlt> user11357: /QUIT
[20:27] <gohdan> Orpheon: do you have the Glide wrapper installed for wine?
[20:27] <Orpheon> Galvatron: It doesn't exist in Wine's database, it's too small. That's beside the point anyways, it worked perfectly these last 2 years up until 3 days
[20:27]  * Disconnected (Remote host closed the connection)
[20:27] <user11357> empathy must not like '/quit'. I'll just close it

[20:28] <faceface> anyone use grip to rip cds?
[20:28] <gohdan> Orpheon: http://www.zeckensack.de/glide/
[20:28] <vlt> !anyone | faceface
[20:28] <faceface> I need to work out what codes are available like %d %n etc?
[20:28] <gohdan> Orpheon: not always the culprit, but it never hurts
[20:28] <stueng> hi, I have apt-get install xubuntu-desktop.. but how do I "activate" it ?
[20:28] <Orpheon> gohdan: Won't synaptic work?
[20:28] <L3top> that is not explicitly supported in this channel anyway faceface
[20:29] <Orpheon> gohdan: Also no, it is not installed
[20:29] <faceface> wow ubottu you saved one message by spewing one message vlt looks so cool right now
[20:29] <meco> I don't see what application it is that crashes since I'm using openbox. I only get a popup mesage saying that an application has crashed. Also, possibly unrelated to that. Video output from vlc or other media players quits and I have to reboot to get it in order.
[20:29] <zykotick9> faceface: grip is no longer maintained, you really should find something newer (it was my favourite) - i've moved to abcde (but that's cli)
[20:29] <L3top> meco: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[20:29]  * vlt recommends abcde
[20:29] <faceface> zykotick9: abcde eh
[20:30] <meco> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device [8086:2562] (rev 01)
[20:30] <faceface> zykotick9: where can I find a common list of what %n and the like commonly mean in the ripping world?
[20:30] <faceface> it's frustratingly hard to find a nice table like for 'date'
[20:30] <zykotick9> faceface: they aren't common - i've found that list for grip at one time online...
[20:30] <L3top> meco: sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver; reboot
[20:30] <faceface> I'll try anything just now...
[20:31] <faceface> like for xine
[20:31] <Orpheon> gohdan: Do I have to restart my xserver for this to work?
[20:31] <faceface> I mean xmms
[20:31] <vlt> stueng: Aside from that I don’t know how to “activate” it … I would use aptitude instead of apt-get because it resolves dependenceies and recommended packages better.
[20:31] <meco> L3top: OK!
[20:31] <gohdan> Orpheon: no. it is just a w32 binary for wine.
[20:32] <zykotick9> vlt: while i personally agree aptitude is better then apt-get -- for ubuntu users apt-get is recommended
[20:32] <gohdan> Orpheon: might need to configure it in wine a little bit though
[20:32] <craigbass1976> What's good for wireless laser (b&w) printers these days in the "easily works with 12.04" department?
[20:32] <stueng> vlt: it installed just fine, how do I go about switching from unity to xfce though ?
[20:32] <vlt> zykotick9: Hmmm … can you explain why?
[20:32] <Orpheon> gohdan: Configure what, and how?
[20:32] <zykotick9> vlt: aptitude give options, apt-get does not.  see where i'm going with this ;)
[20:32] <gohdan> Orpheon: http://www.zeckensack.de/glide/
[20:33] <gohdan> it has the documentation
[20:33] <vlt> zykotick9: But last time I tried `apt-get install ubuntu-desktop` I got only 30 % of the packages.
[20:33] <vlt> zykotick9: That was on 12.04.
[20:34] <zykotick9> vlt: well, that would be a good bug submission wouldn't it.
[20:34] <stueng> how do you switch between sessions ?
[20:34] <gohdan> vlt: maybe it was trying to spare you from the other 70% that is unity. ;-)
[20:34] <vlt> zykotick9: No, it’s apt-get’s default behaviour not to install the recommended packages.
[20:34] <stueng> without a mouse...
[20:36] <Orpheon> gohdan: The error is still there
[20:36] <Fat-Thing> L3top, i just need to reinstall my ubuntu 10.04 coz i'm messing up my files i mean i messed up all the applications installing `em but doesn't know where it was stored just i need to get a fresh ubuntu 10.04 in my partitioned disk were i got win7 in my main and ubuntu as my 2nd .... i only got 1 drived partitioned and it was all in drive C.

[20:44] <L3top> korn788: on both it asked for a cd?
[20:44] <korn788> yes
[20:45] <korn788> it booted the USB fine but was looking for the CD during install

[20:46] <trco> Greetings. After installing ubuntu 12.04lts on a clean system (whole hard drive, default settings, install runs fine), when I reboot and get to the login screen it looks scrambled. I can tell from the colors that I am on the screen but it's like my screen it stretched all strangely and I can't type in my password or log in. Does anyone have any ideas about how to solve this issue?

[20:46] <bastidrazor> Disconnected: and you'repoint?
[20:47] <korn788> trco i have a fix
[20:47] <trco> korn788: Thank you :)
[20:47] <korn788> my other linux did this

[20:47] <korn788> well its froze but still can help
[20:47] <mohamez> it's same thing whit packges
[20:47] <macram> vlt, logout and login
[20:48] <korn788> do you care if you auto login
[20:48] <L3top> sorry korn788 I was asking what OS (and version) vs what version Ubuntu, though the MOBO might be a player in this
[20:48] <Fat-Thing> L3top, i want to upgrade in 12.04 LTS with KDE how? using update manager is it possible!?
[20:48] <L3top> Fat-Thing: kubuntu-desktop
[20:48] <korn788> oh
[20:49] <korn788> 12.04 i tried
[20:49] <korn788> first
[20:49] <L3top> from what
[20:49] <korn788> windows
[20:49] <L3top> korn788: try unetbootin
[20:49] <korn788> then 11.10 from windows
[20:49] <L3top> from windows
[20:50] <guntbert> !enetr | korn788
[20:50] <korn788> do you think its the way the USB creator is making the drive
[20:50] <korn788> and yes from windows
[20:50] <guntbert> !enter | korn788
[20:50] <korn788> i have a 12.04 box
[20:50] <vlt> macram: Removing update-manager, loging out and in again didn’t help either :(
[20:50] <korn788> but i want my main pc to have it too
[20:51] <L3top> I recommend trying unetbootin... it does its own thing with the initrd korn788
[20:51] <meco> L3top: After I installed that new driver. The pc hangs when I try to play videos...
[20:51] <korn788> plus my linux box is not hooked up right now
[20:51] <elrond255> I'm having an issue with key rings. I accidentally deleted them and now when I try to create a new key or keyring I'm getting an error that seahorse can't communicate to the gnome-keyring-server. Don't know if it's related to having deleted the default and login keyrings
[20:51] <gohdan> Orpheon: are you getting this error from within wine or it it be written to your shell? also what is the game?
[20:51] <korn788> ive used it before just couldn't remember what the name of the app was
[20:51] <L3top> meco: of the thousands of installs I have scripted that driver to install for, this has never been the case.

[20:54] <meco> L3top: I'm not skilled at reading log files. I can try though.
[20:54] <korn788> live version of ubuntu with unetbootin can still install right
[20:55] <Jordan_U> korn788: Yes.
[20:55] <korn788> cool
[20:55] <korn788> thanks
[20:55] <Orpheon> gohdan: Sorry, read your post only late: It's part of wine, as in wine sends this to the stderr. The game is a small Game Maker game called Gang Garrison 2
[20:55] <Orpheon> but again, I don't really see why this is important what game it is
[20:55] <trco> It seems like a driver issue. I can't remember how to start in runlevel 3 though to update the driver from grub
[20:55] <esuave> so i accidentally added a route that looks like : host-216-153-17
[20:56] <esuave> how can i delete it?
[20:56] <vlt> How to remove the “Shut down …” line in the logout menu?
[20:56] <vlt> esuave: `route delete host-216-153-17`
[20:56] <Orpheon> I found a thread that mentioned that installing "xorg-x11-catalyst-drv" had fixed a very similar issue. Catalyst is an ATI driver, what would be the equivalent packet for a nvidia system?
[20:56] <bigbang> when I try to run python it gives me error ./python: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[20:56] <zykotick9> !text | trco
[20:56] <gohdan> Orpheon: do i need game maker installed to run this?
[20:57] <zykotick9> !runlevels > trco
[20:57] <Orpheon> no
[20:57] <esuave> vlt: this is what i get
[20:57] <esuave> sudo route delete host-216-153-17
[20:57] <esuave> host-216-153-17: Unknown host
[20:57] <Orpheon> gohdan: If you get to the menu screen you are already farther than I am
[20:57] <vlt> esuave: Sorry, try `ip route delete ...`
[20:58] <zykotick9> esuave: do you see it with "route"
[20:58] <meco> L3top: [   37.363689] lp: driver loaded but no devices found
[20:58] <gohdan> Orpheon: not sure. you have the nvidia drivers installed right?
[20:58] <zykotick9> esuave: sorry "sudo route"
[20:58] <ciaociao> !list
[20:58] <Orpheon> gohdan: I now have the nvidia-current, I think
[20:59] <esuave> zykotick9: yes i do
[20:59] <macram> ok
[20:59] <macram> i have a question
[20:59] <macram> my computer asks me to install privative drivers
[20:59] <macram> nvidia
[20:59] <macram> i have two choices
[21:00] <macram> current and post-launch updates (or something similar; i use spanish locale and i don't know how's written in english)
[21:00] <macram> i can install current
[21:00] <esuave> vlt: now i get this
[21:00] <meco> L3top told me to look for errors in /var/log/dmesg. Could this be something?   [   37.363689] lp: driver loaded but no devices found
[21:00] <esuave> vlt: Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "host-216-153-17"
[21:00] <macram> but when i try to install that 'post-launch updates', this thing crashes AND the old driver dissapears
[21:00] <esuave> vlt:  i did "sudo ip route delete host-216-153-17"
[21:00] <vlt> Ciao. Can anyone explain, please, why so many Italians do this? Enter the channel and type “!list”?
[21:00] <gohdan> Orpheon: runs for me. let me check some stuff real quick
[21:01] <vlt> esuave: What does the output of `ip route` look like?
[21:01] <L3top> Italy is a hotbed of warez
[21:01] <L3top> lol
[21:01] <Orpheon> I don't understand what "!list" has to do with warez?
[21:01] <macram> i don't know what !list is
[21:01] <vlt> L3top, Orpheon: Yes, what do they expect from !list?
[21:02] <meco> L3top: [   37.363689] lp: driver loaded but no devices found. Could that be of interest?
[21:02] <elrond255> If you haven't setup a default keyring, how do you find the default password?
[21:02] <Orpheon> gohdan: Could you run a search or something for "libvdpau_nvidia.so"?
[21:03] <L3top> meco: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel
[21:03] <Orpheon> gohdan: My .xsession_errors complains that it can't find that a few hundred times right before it reports the wine crash, and right after it reports the starting of the game
[21:04] <L3top> meco: sudo update-pciids
[21:04] <L3top> meco: lspci | grep VGA
[21:05] <L3top> meco: that first command, do not paste the output of here... just look at the installed line... sorry for the multiple replies
[21:05] <meco> L3top: http://pastebin.com/wW1Mxg85 after the first command
[21:06] <Aprel> I get >100MB/s write speed hd to usb flash drive (NTFS-formatted) up to about 1.5 GB, but then slows down to 10 MB/s for rest of file.
[21:06] <Aprel> Any idea why the sharp decrease in write speed the longer the write process?
[21:06] <L3top> that is correct meco. I just need the output of the last command (lspci | grep VGA), after you run the middle one...
[21:07] <vlt> Aprel: Write caching is fast, writing slow.
[21:07] <gohdan> Orpheon: can you 'whereis libvdpau_nvidia.so' and tell me if it exists?
[21:07] <meco> L3top: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
[21:07] <Orpheon> $ whereis libvdpau_nvidia.so
[21:07] <Orpheon> libvdpau_nvidia:
[21:08] <Aprel> vlt: so when it says it's written 2GB to usb, it's really just moved them to a cache?
[21:08] <bigbang> when I try to run python it gives me error ./python: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[21:08] <gohdan> should be in /usr/lib/
[21:08] <vlt> Aprel: That’s what I think
[21:08] <jeffmjack> help me i am in driver hell
[21:08] <L3top> meco: it is my opinion that your gpu has a problem.
[21:09] <LD> i don't see my wifi network in ubuntu 12.04, but i see my neighbor's network
[21:09] <LD> =S
[21:09] <vlt> jeffmjack: Cornwall?
[21:09] <L3top> meco: can you run any other OS on this machine without issue playing video?
[21:09] <meco> L3top: OK. I got an error message to that effect some days ago. I got it repeatedly, but I haven't seen it as of lately.
[21:09] <jeffmjack> vlt: not sure what you mean.... monitors with a docking station
[21:09] <meco> L3top: No, there's only this one installation of ubuntu here.
[21:10] <jeffmjack> i'm pretty lost here, not even sure what version of xserver i'm running anymore
[21:10] <L3top> meco: I am in the 85% range of a hw failure... and I am a conservative rater.
[21:10] <Orpheon> gohdan: No, I do not have a file with that name
[21:10] <Aprel> vlt: makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
[21:10] <Orpheon> gohdan: I have several libvdpau
[21:10] <jeffmjack> what a mess :\
[21:11] <L3top> !details | jeffmjack
[21:11] <L3top> !pastebin | jeffmjack
[21:11] <vlt> Aprel: That’s why smaller files are written very fast to the USB drive but then you have to wait until you actually can remove it ;-)
[21:11] <jeffmjack> ok.  on ubuntu version 12.04, i tried connecting my laptop to a docking station
[21:12] <LD> i need help with wifi
[21:12] <jeffmjack> on monitor worked fine as a non-mirrored thing
[21:12] <L3top> !enter | jeffmjack
[21:12] <Orpheon> gohdan: Here is an image of what I have: http://snag.gy/PfDxD.jpg
[21:12] <LD> i don't understand why i can't see my network in ubuntu 12.04
[21:12] <LD> i see anothers networks
[21:12] <meco> L3top: OK. What happened earlier on when I told you the pc hanged was I bit unusual. After playing the video for perhaps 30 seconds, it froze. The the screen went black, but with some blue at the top of the screen, and the audio kept playing. However, everything froze, and only a hard reset would work, all the while the audio going.
[21:14] <papero> ciao
[21:14] <papero> !list
[21:14] <fission6> how many files can be in a directory before look up / descriptors get slow?
[21:14] <korn788> ok i tried unetbootin still didn't work (it wasn't the text based one like i used)
[21:14] <korn788> the screen just look like it crashed
[21:14] <jeffmjack> on ubuntu version 12.04, i tried connecting my laptop to a docking station.   one monitor worked fine as a non-mirrored thing. when I plugged the other monitor in, the first monitor became a mirror and I couldn't get the displays to act correctly, the admin window kept saying it couldn't configure them when I clicked apply.  So I dug around with driver stuff, installing/uninstalling fglsx, nvidia drivers, etc. to no avail.  Now, the si
[21:14] <korn788> then froze
[21:15] <gohdan> Orpheon: libvdpau_nvidia.so is part of the nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates
[21:15] <gohdan> might have to reinstall them
[21:15] <vlt> jeffmjack: Post got cut off at “… Now, the si”
[21:15] <Orpheon> gohdan: what...I... I did that at least 3 times with separate packages, including those two!
[21:16] <gohdan> Orpheon: interesting
[21:16] <jeffmjack> Now, the sidebar on the desktop is gone and I can't get things back to when they were working with the single monitor setup
[21:16] <korn788> what if i tried a older version than 11.10 and updated from that
[21:16] <mousestopped> My laptop's touchpad has suddenly stopped working.  Is there a terminal command that might get it working again?
[21:17] <vlt> Hello. Any idea how to remove the “Shut down …” and “Software up to date” lines in Ubuntu 12.04’s logout menu?
[21:17] <mousestopped> Is there a some kind of flush usb command that might get my mouse working again?
[21:18] <vlt> mousestopped: Did you reboot already?
[21:18] <Etale> Hi all. I just got my Lenovo thinkpad. It comes with a preinstalled Win7, a Recovery Partition (15GB), a System_Drv partition, and a main partition. I want to make this into a dual boot. What's the best way to do that? At the moment I'm thinking of defragging and then using GParted... Ultimately I want a Windows Partition (~100GB), a Linux Partition (~80GB), a storage partition (~300GB) and I guess I'll have to keep the recovery partition
[21:18] <Etale> and the system_drv partition (whatever that is)...
[21:18] <Etale> Does Ubuntu installation automatically help me out with partitions?
[21:18] <Orpheon> vlt: I'm only guessing here, but you could probably do some hacking around in the unity files....
[21:18] <korn788> windows 7 can make partitions
[21:18] <wolfdart> Hi plp. I'm having some issue with gedit and embedded terminal plugin. When I use this plugin, its backgroud remains white with white letters and I can't change it!! Can anyone help me?
[21:18] <Etale> Korn, how?
[21:18] <wolfdart> Here is a screenshot: http://s13.postimage.org/6kienasqd/gedit.png
[21:18] <gohdan> Orpheon: dont know, man. aside from suggesting to do it again with aptitude maybe.
[21:18] <gohdan> ^^anyone else got a clue about this?
[21:19] <mousestopped> vlt: I haven't rebooted, I'm pretty sure rebooting will fix the issue.  I was just wondering if there was a terminal command that might get it working.
[21:19] <korn788> first are you new to linux?
[21:19] <vlt> Orpheon: No gsettings commmand?
[21:19] <APoulos> Hey guys, quick question, is there such a thing called KDE-standard? so I can get the KDE DE but without ALL the apps that come with it
[21:19] <Etale> I've been using wubi for a long time now.
[21:19] <Aprel> Etale: yes, Ubuntu installer has partitioning tools
[21:19] <Orpheon> vlt: I have /no/ idea. I'm not really experienced, sorry.
[21:19] <korn788> i was going to suggest that lol
[21:19] <Orpheon> gohdan: Heh, ok. Could you upload your version? Maybe some copy and paste can fix stuff
[21:19] <Etale> korn788, I'm done with that. I want a dual boot on the laptop that I got today.
[21:20] <Polah> Etale: Yes, there are options to allow Ubuntu to set up its own partitions in any remaining free space, in which case I think it sets up a swap partition equal in size to your RAM and the rest as a single continuous ext4 partition. There's quite a simple tool to set up your own partitions though; I would recommend shrinking your Windows partition in Windows itself and making your storage partition NTFS, leaving the remaining space for Ubun
[21:20] <Polah> tu and swap to be set up when you install it.
[21:20] <Etale> Aprel, thanks! Should I worry about certain partitions have to be primary?
[21:20] <korn788> ok goto start>control panel
[21:20] <Polah> Etale: The only partition that needs to be primary is your Windows partition.
[21:20] <Etale> Polah, how do I do that?
[21:20] <Baribal> Hi. I'm trying to get pyopencl to work. It seems that to do that, I need the ATI Stream SDK. Sadly, all web resources on that are at least two LTS-releases old, and I can't find the SDK package/source itself. Any pointers?
[21:20] <Etale> Really, Linux doesn't have to be primary?
[21:21] <gohdan> \
[21:21] <alecbenzer> how can I bind gnome-do to alt+f2? ie, gnome-panel's launcher currently takes precedence
[21:21] <korn788> no wubi would make windows prim
[21:21] <Etale> As I said, I want a Windows partition, a Linux partition and a storage partition. Unfortunately I think I will have to keep the recovery partition and the system_drv partitions that came with the thinkpad...
[21:21] <vlt> Etale: No. You can boot linux off a health insurance card if you like ;-)
[21:21] <Etale> korn788, I don't want wubi.
[21:21] <korn788> ok
[21:22] <Etale> vlt, would it make it slower?
[21:22] <gohdan> Orpheon: probably not wise to load random binaries
[21:22] <vlt> Etale: What exactly?
[21:22] <Etale> vlt, if Linux is not on a primary partition would it be slower?
[21:22] <Aprel> Etale: I installed dual-boot with Windows 8 cp and found the Ubuntu partitioner very user friendly. :)
[21:22] <vlt> Etale: No.
[21:22] <wolfdart> Hi folks. Can you help me with this issue? See this screenshot (http://s13.postimage.org/6kienasqd/gedit.png) and look the color of the embedded terminal on gedit: it's impossible to use it with this grey bg and white letter color! Can I change that?
[21:23] <Etale> Aprel, would it be possible to also dictate that there will be a (NTFS) storage partition in the installation?
[21:23] <wolfdart> I installed this plugin via gedit-plugins package
[21:23] <Baribal> I can't even find the SDK on amd.com
[21:23] <Aprel> Etale: no, not with Ubuntu partitioner, unfort.
[21:23] <korn788> oh yea just boot the ubuntu CD or USB whatever your using and run it live then do the partitioning in there
[21:23] <Etale> Also somebody (who?) here recommended that I shrink the Windows partition from within Windows. Why should I do that, and how do I do that?
[21:23] <Etale> Aprel, then what do I use?
[21:23] <Etale> Gparted?
[21:24] <Orpheon> gohdan: Could this be a bug, or are there other things I should test
[21:24] <Orpheon> ?
[21:24] <Tittu> how do I craete a launcher on desktop ?
[21:24] <macram> Tittu, GOOD QUESTION
[21:24] <macram> you can make a soft link and set the icon by yourself
[21:24] <Orpheon> Does anyone have an idea why installing nvidia-current via the Additional Drivers doesn't install all the files?
[21:24] <korn788> shrink? its allow you to use the space you have left on the HD to make a partition for anything like storage or ubuntu i did that with my main pc
[21:24] <Tittu> macram: thank you, but what is a soft link and how do i create it ?
[21:24] <Aprel> Etale: I'm pretty sure Ubuntu partitioner can shrink a NTFS part, but not make one.
[21:25] <gohdan> Orpheon: i dont know enough about nvidia's behaviour on *nix to give you an answer one way or the other
[21:25] <korn788> just doesnt have linux on it yet
[21:25] <macram> Aprel, can shrink and make NTFS partitions.
[21:25] <korn788> its easy in windows
[21:25] <jottbe> hi
[21:25] <Etale> korn788, tell me how.
[21:25] <Aprel> macram: really? Maybe that was added to 12.04. I installed 11.04.
[21:25] <macram> Tittu, you can look for the binary, alt-drag it into the desktop and select "Link"
[21:25] <GreekFreak> Is there anyone in here comfortable with Cron commands? I'm trying to find out if I should be putting them in /etc/crontab or anywhere else
[21:26] <korn788> ok
[21:26] <macram> Aprel, what do you want to do exactly
[21:26] <korn788> here
[21:26] <jottbe> I have a problem with my ubuntu system pm-hibernae does not properly work anymore
[21:26] <Polah> Etale: I recommend shrinking the Windows partition in Windows just to attempt to avoid problems. Gparted in Ubuntu can do it as well though. In Windows, you can do it by going to Control Panel > Admin Tools > Disk Management. You should defragment your partitions before shrinking or anything else (I'd recommend Defraggler from Piriform, since last time I checked Window's own defragger does a rubbish job)
[21:26] <alecbenzer> poke -- anyone? remapping alt+f2 to gnome-do in gnome 2?
[21:26] <star314> After shutting powering off a kvm guest, I'm using "brctl delif" and  "tunctl -d" to remove the remaining/unused interface from the bridge. Afterwards, the system is for about 20 seconds not accessible through the network. I'm guessing it runs in a timeout. Unfortunately, setting "bridge_stp off", "bridge_fd 0", and "bridge_maxwait 0" did not fix the problem. It must be a very common problem. Any suggestions how to fix it? My full network/interfaces fi
[21:26] <star314> le looks like http://pastebin.com/gezYUgAZ
[21:26] <korn788> type in "disk management" in the Search bar and click the first item
[21:27] <wolfdart> Hi folks. Can you help me with this issue? See this screenshot (http://s13.postimage.org/6kienasqd/gedit.png) and look the color of the embedded terminal on gedit: it's impossible to use it with this grey bg and white letter color! Can I change that?
[21:27] <Aprel> macram: I was referring to Etale's prob
[21:27] <Polah> Aprel: Gparted on the installation disc can manage NTFS partitions, and it can be installed from the repos as well
[21:27] <undecim> Will deja dup automatically ignore folders where other filesystems are mounted? e.g. the folders in .gvfs?
[21:27] <gohdan> Orpheon: seems like a bug or some sort of pre/post-install / config issues or something.
[21:27] <Tittu> macram: Thanks. but I want to do something different. I am running a virtual box, and I want to create a desktop shortcut to launch the main drive which is mounted in /media/drive. But i need sudo previliges to open it. So i was thinking of creating a launcher to launch nautilus with sudo previliges in that directory.
[21:28] <korn788> when your there pick the drive you want to shrink (only if you have more drive do you really need to pick like me :) )
[21:28] <Polah> Tittu: Have you tried setting group/public read permissions?
[21:28] <korn788> and right-click and select shrink
[21:28] <Tittu> Polah: how do i do that ?
[21:28] <macram> Tittu, I made it before! But I don't know how can I do it in Precise.
[21:29] <Orpheon> gohdan: I'll come back tomorrow and ask some other people again. :P   Thank you, you have given me a lot of information. Now I actually know what could cause the problem...
[21:29] <undecim> wolfdart: It looks like it's using the color, but not the background from the default config
[21:29] <macram> You only should put gksudo before the command in the config dialog of the link
[21:29] <korn788> shrink volume*
[21:29] <scarwolf> join /server irc.myirc.eu
[21:29] <Aprel> Etale: it's usually best that Windows be installed first. If it installs its bootloader over grub, it'll make it harder to configure the dual-boot
[21:29] <scarwolf> Sorry
[21:29] <gohdan> Orpheon: try the mailing list. no need to idle in irc. https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users
[21:29] <xapel> every time I open Software Center I have to turn on recommendations. Why is that?
[21:29] <korn788> aprel is right
[21:29] <undecim> wolfdart: try changing the color to "black on white" in a normal terminal window.
[21:29] <macram> Tittu, it should be something like "gksudo nautilus /your/directory"
[21:29] <wolfdart> undecim: yes. I changed the gedit color scheme, but it did not help
[21:29] <korn788> but i think he has windows already installed
[21:30] <bibi23> hi, I'm trying to do a symlink to a php file, and I'd like that symlink to be executable, is it possible with symlinks or should I use something else? It looks like it doesn't work
[21:30] <NcA> GreekFreak: crontab -e
[21:30] <undecim> wolfdart: Restarted gedit since that?
[21:30] <Polah> Tittu: chmod the mount point to 766 if you need write access, 764 if you only need read access. You might want to do it recursively. This would be fine if you're the only user
[21:30] <Etale> Okay, defragging from defraggler.
[21:30] <korn788> DONT DEFRAGG!!!!!!
[21:30] <wolfdart> undecim: Yes! I will try change the terminal color scheme
[21:30] <wolfdart> Lets see
[21:30] <korn788> you dont need to
[21:30] <Etale> Why not?
[21:31] <korn788> sorry hit cap lock lolz
[21:31] <RidDrib> hello
[21:31] <GreekFreak> NcA, yes but that opens a file in tmp. And it doesn't run my cron commands. Whereas it does in /etc/crontab. Although I have a feeling it's the wrong place
[21:31] <Baribal> Fraggles?
[21:31] <korn788> because in dual-booting you dont need too
[21:31] <Tittu> polah, marcam: thanks. after i cange the previliges, how do i create a launcher on desktop ? just alt-drag it ?
[21:31] <korn788> that all
[21:31] <C-S-B> Hello, I've done a fresh install of ubuntu-server 12.04 and installed LAMP, I've installed the package phpmyadmin and it is not working
[21:31] <xapel> every time I open Software Center I have to turn on recommendations. Why is that?
[21:31] <APoulos> So is there a package called "kde-standard" that installs the KDE desktop environment but without all the apps?
[21:31] <Etale> I'm confused, a lot of people told me that I should.
[21:31] <C-S-B> File does not exist: /var/www/phpMyAdmin
[21:31] <Etale> In any case, it's almost done.
[21:31] <Polah> Etale, korn788 you should defrag regularly anyway, since NTFS does a terrible job of file placement
[21:32] <NcA> GreekFreak: When you save/write the file, it should* permanently commit it
[21:32] <Aprel> Etale: defragging won't hurt anythng
[21:32] <vlt> C-S-B: “not worling”?
[21:32] <C-S-B> However, I can confirm that my phpmyadmin conf is in /etc/apache2/conf.d
[21:32] <wolfdart> undecim: Change the terminal color didnt wirk too =/
[21:32] <C-S-B> vlt, You know very well I meant working. :P
[21:32] <NcA> GreekFreak: if not, check /etc/cron.allow & /etc/cron.deny
[21:32] <wolfdart> work*

[21:37] <korn788> hey is there a way to (with the text based installer to run terminal then tell the installer to install the files from USB
[21:37] <undecim> wolfdart: org.gnome.gedit.plugins.terminal.forgound-color
[21:38] <RidDrib> Go to Bank!
[21:38] <Fat-Thing> is it ok to stop getty processes? and how?
[21:38] <Polah> Tittu: And you're trying to access a physical drive from a VM?
[21:38] <Tittu> Polah: yes
[21:39] <GRMrGecko> Booting 12.10 daily powerpc live cd, it gets to where the display remains off forever. I see the splash screen with the loading bar... Could this be because it choose an resolution my display does not support?
[21:40] <undecim> wolfdart: Actually... Just set the foreground and background color in dconf, and uncheck "use-theme-colors"
[21:40] <vlt> GRMrGecko: /join #ubuntu+1
[21:40] <korn788> wait is wubi a VM
[21:41] <wolfdart> undecim: hmmm. I will try
[21:41] <korn788> or like a VM
[21:41] <Polah> Tittu: Hmm, I'm not too sure then. Sorry I can't be more help.
[21:41] <beanpole>  MY DNS IS CHANGING AFTER REBOOT
[21:41] <undecim> wolfdart: It fixed the problem for me
[21:41] <undecim> beanpole: Press caps lock, please
[21:41] <Tittu> Polah: ok, thanks. I will try experimenting myself
[21:41] <Polah> beanpole, where are you setting your DNS options?
[21:41] <beanpole> RESOLV.CONF
[21:41] <NcA> beanpole: it's called resolvconf, welcome to ubuntu 12.04
[21:42] <GRMrGecko> vlt: Will try video=ofonly first... Even though I doubt it'll fix it.
[21:42] <NcA> beanpole: resolvconf will rewrite your resolv.conf after reboot or after network state change
[21:42] <beanpole> sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
[21:42] <beanpole> ??
[21:42] <undecim> Will Deja Dup backup ignore remote locations mounted in e.g. .gvfs?
[21:42] <beanpole> what to do
[21:43] <NcA> beanpole: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/resolvconf
[21:43] <wolfdart> undecim: I never used this dconf-editor before. I installed dconf-tools package, is that right? If so I will look on Google how to use.
[21:43] <NcA> beanpole: I've had issues with openconnect and other network services due to resolvconf
[21:43] <wolfdart> undecim: Thanks for that.
[21:43] <wolfdart> undecim: Thanks for that tip.
[21:43] <beanpole> i will have to install this package
[21:44] <vlt> Any idea how to remove the “Shut down …” and “Software up to date” lines in Ubuntu 12.04’s logout menu?
[21:44] <beanpole> is this a bug :p
[21:45] <AndroUser> Hi
[21:45] <undecim> wolfbyte: It's a fairly straightforward GUI... Acts similar to a file manager. You'll find the settings in org/gnome/gedit/plugins/terminal
[21:45] <AndroUser> Hi
[21:45] <AndroUser> Whatz up?
[21:46] <wolfdart> undecim: IT WORKED!!! Thanks very much!! :D:D:D
[21:46] <korn788> hey is there a way to (with the text based installer to run terminal then tell the installer to install the files from USB
[21:48] <vlt> korn788: You can copy the archives to /var/cache/apt/archives/ and won’t need to download them again.
[21:48] <vlt> korn788: (.deb files)
[21:48] <korn788> yea
[21:49] <korn788> but my USB for some reason lets me boot the USB and when i try to install it looking for the install CD
[21:49] <korn788> but im trying to install from USB
[21:50] <Aprel> korn788: try to install Ubuntu from usb?
[21:50] <Aprel> korn788: that's what you wnat to do?
[21:50] <korn788> yea
[21:50] <Ca11um> Hey
[21:50] <Ca11um> I'm trying to run Minecraft (a jar file) on Ubuntu 12.04
[21:51] <korn788> ive tried 11.10 and 12.04 with the same thing
[21:51] <Aprel> korn788: how did you create the image for the usb drive?
[21:51] <Guest98896> hello, I'm installing ubuntu 12.04 on a MacBookPro 15" Intel Core 2 Duo. Mac-osx is on the first half of a terabyte hard drive. I have refit working (I think) but when I try to access the linux partition for install all I get is a msg "missing operating system" a blinking cursor and it goes nowhere. Does anyone how to boot into a blank partition. I would like to install onto the new partition and not use bootcamp. Thank you very much………
[21:51] <Ca11um> I've installed OpenJDK and tried running it; it launches, but once I login I get a black screen
[21:51] <Aprel> Ca11um: try installing oracle's java
[21:51] <korn788> ive tried using 3 diff kinds of apps
[21:51] <NFisher> Hi all! Is there a possibility to configure ubuntu in such a way, that i can mouseclick with a microphone? I want ubuntu to left mouseclick whenever i give a sound signal to the microphone, is that possible?
[21:51] <Ca11um> What is the package name?
[21:52] <Aprel> Ca11um: it's for open-source, so you can't get it with apt-get. Google oracle java to get a .tar file
[21:52] <Aprel> *it's not open-source
[21:52] <korn788> linux live USB creator, unetbootin and universal USB creator
[21:53] <Aprel> korn788: I've had luck installing Debian with live USB creator; sorry to hear it's not working with Ubuntu :/
[21:53] <chip8874> I was having graphics problems with my graphics card, so I put in another card to install ubuntu and I installed the amd catalyst driver... thing. But after a restart, the screen will flash red and only the mouse can be seen. Is this a conflicting driver problem?
[21:53] <korn788> all of them make a bootable installer but it look for the CD after the keyboard layout
[21:54] <korn788> i know i love live USB creator too
[21:55] <APoulos> Does anyone know how to fix a distorted Ubuntu boot splash screen?
[21:55] <APoulos> because when I ran the Live CD it didnt do that
[21:55] <APoulos> it looked fine
[21:55] <ld_aravena> how  download privative codecs?
[21:55] <Polah> APoulos, have you installed any proprietary drivers for your GPU?
[21:55] <korn788> but can i run terminal before the installer then tell it the file for install are on my USB not my CD drive
[21:56] <APoulos> Polah, Nvidia
[21:56] <Polah> APoulos, was is distorted before or after you installed the proprietary drivers?
[21:56] <Aprel> It may be Ubuntu initializes the driver later on once installed, but right away when booting live cd
[21:56] <Aprel> I've run into the same thing
[21:57] <jgalt> just installed 10.04 lts on this box.  now that im logged in where are my dropdown menus so i can at least get a xterm open and get real work done?
[21:57] <Aprel> APoulos: were you originally using on-board graphics?
[21:59] <Aprel> jgalt: there are no dropdown menus. Click on the top icon in the left toolbar and type in "termina;"
[21:59] <Aprel> ^ terminal
[22:00] <APoulos> Polah, Aprel its been like that - and its only like that to the splash screen when ubuntu is booting up - not like that when Im running it
[22:00] <Polah> jgalt, on 10.04 I think Terminal comes under accessories (if that's there, 10.04 is a while ago). Alternately you can do ctrl+shift+T
[22:00] <APoulos> Polah, Aprel so its been like that even before the Nvidia drivers
[22:00] <korn788> hey what about the MINI CD for internet installs
[22:00] <APoulos> Polah, Aprel because I'm on an Nvidia board
[22:01] <Areckx> Hi I never had a problem with xchat beforer, and just after installing Eclipse IDE and oracle-jdk7 it just sits there and crashes, I don't know if it's relevant, because it has crashed like this before, do I have too many channels and servers on startup? should I remove the Japanese channels???
[22:01] <korn788> can i make a USB installer out of that?
[22:01] <Areckx> I use Ubuntu 10.04
[22:01] <APoulos> Polah, Aprel could i use Grub Customizer to edit the Splash menu resolution?
[22:01] <Aprel> Apoulos: can you think of what might have changed between when it wasn't stretched and then stretcjed?
[22:01] <Aprel> Driver update?
[22:02] <APoulos> Aprel, no, its been like that since I installed it. it wasnt like that when i ran it from Live CD
[22:02] <Polah> korn788, yes you can load the minimal image onto a USB and boot it to install.
[22:02] <APoulos> Aprel, you get me?
[22:02] <Aprel> Apoulos: yea
[22:02] <Areckx> I installed JDK7 from this guide http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[22:02] <korn788> ok then i might have to try that as long as it doesnt ask for a CD
[22:02] <korn788> lolz
[22:02] <Areckx> I have removed the repo and purged xchat but it still has the same problem
[22:03] <g00se> Not sure if it's my router or laptop or what but i've just had to add a route manually, but dns still broken. What's the way to fix in 11.04?
[22:04] <Aprel> APoulos: The only thing I can think of is the live cd loads an nVidia driver right away at boot, but once it's installed, it uses generic settings....
[22:05] <Aprel> APoulos: I had the same prob. I used to use on-board gfx, then added a video card, and have the same stretched splach screen :/
[22:06] <APoulos> Aprel,  I'll screen cap it for you. to show you what I have -
[22:07] <APoulos> Aprel, http://i.imgur.com/2C8V9.png
[22:08] <rhizmoe> is there a way for gedit to use a wider cursor?
[22:08] <Polah> APoulos, have you tried the other driver?
[22:09] <rhizmoe> 1px is l4ym3
[22:09] <Aprel> APoulos: yeah, I've tried the original (what you're using) and the (version current-updates). Same prob.
[22:09] <Fat-Thing> anyone there?
[22:09] <APoulos> Polah, nah, whats the difference, Aprel just said theres no difference
[22:10] <Fat-Thing> in my folder when i try to show hidden files i got this lots of .zenmap .nmap .gimp .evolution what are those stuffs?
[22:10] <rhizmoe> dotfiles
[22:10] <APoulos> Polah, Aprel - I found something actually - check this out: http://i.imgur.com/LxBjo.png
[22:11] <OerHeks> Fat-Thing, some system config files, that is why they are hidden not to confuse you
[22:11] <Aprel> Apoulos: Cool! You think "Aspect Ratio Scaled" would mitigate the prob?
[22:11] <Polah> APoulos, I'm using the post-release updates driver and never had the issue you're talking about. You could try setting your settings to ratio scaled and then centered, see if that works.
[22:12] <Guest98896> hello, is this the appropriate place for this post or should I be posting this to another list serve? I'm installing ubuntu 12.04 on a MacBookPro 15" Intel Core 2 Duo. Mac-osx is on the first half of a terabyte hard drive. I have refit working (I think) but when I try to access the linux partition for install all I get is a msg "missing operating system" a blinking cursor and it goes nowhere. Does anyone how to boot into a blank partition. I would like to
[22:12] <Guest98896> install onto the new partition and not use bootcamp. Thank you very much………
[22:12] <APoulos> Polah, Aprel going to try that - rebooting
[22:12] <Aprel> Polah: what's your setting in the nVidia control panel regarding this?
[22:13] <Fat-Thing> so when i install an application where does it really goes!? in windows u can find the installed program on drive C: program file folder so in ubuntu where?
[22:13] <iLogical> I have this problem. I am using nvidia proprietary drivers but it doesn't show up in "Hardware Drives". When I turned to free ones I had I problem I don't remember but it rendered the system unusable.  The problem is that it everytime I get it back it gets black again. And sometime it goes away or I need to restart the
[22:13] <iLogical>  computer several times until it stops.
[22:13] <iLogical> are*
[22:14] <Nach0z> Fat-Thing: It depends on the program. Some of them go in /usr/bin/ some of them go in /usr/sbin, it just depends. Also, normally the executable itself, the configuration files, and the documentation, go to different directories.
[22:14] <Fat-Thing> Nach0z, is there a way to track application's folder!?
[22:14] <vlt> Fat-Thing: An installed program puts its files in several directories, depending on the type. Executables usually go in /usr/bin/, config files in /etc/, libraries in /usr/ …
[22:15] <vlt> Fat-Thing: The package manager will keep track of the files in case they need to be updated or going to be removed.
[22:15] <Nach0z> Fat-Thing: You can find the exact files using "dkpg -L <packagename>"
[22:15] <Nach0z> Fat-Thing: so if it was firefox, you could do
[22:15] <Nach0z> "dpkg -L firefox" and it'll list off where files are for that specific program.
[22:15] <Polah> Aprel: I don't have any such setting for scaling
[22:16] <sweb> how can i put test -e into this command ? find project/ -type f -print0 | sed 's/project\///g' | xargs -0 -I diralias ???????? unlink www/diralias
[22:16] <sweb> i want to check link is exist then unlink it
[22:17] <Aprel> Polah: k. Looking at mine, it seems it's just for the HDMI output, not DVI or VGA.
[22:19] <iLogical> I have this problem. I am using nvidia proprietary drivers but it doesn't show up in "Hardware Drives". When I turned to free ones I had one problem I don't remember but it rendered the system unusable.  This combination of steps are the only way I can get it back. The problem is that everytime I get it back it gets black again. And sometimes it goes away, sometimes not, then
[22:19] <iLogical> I need to restart the computer several times until it stops.
[22:19] <Aprel> APoulos: results?
[22:19] <APoulos> Polah, Aprel none of the nvidia server settings did anything
[22:19] <APoulos> Aprel, something tells me its in the grub settings
[22:20] <APoulos> but im not sure
[22:20] <APoulos> Polah, Aprel im going to try the post release drivers
[22:21] <Aprel> APoulos: okay. Good luck. I'll look around grub a little.
[22:21] <APoulos> Aprel, yeah take a look at Grub-Customizer
[22:21] <APoulos> Aprel, cant remember the ppa for it
[22:22] <Aprel> Apoulos: if we're lucky, there'll be some "resolution" setting sin the grub config
[22:22] <APoulos> Aprel, if I remember correctly there is
[22:22] <k014> hello!, i am having problems with my windows 7 partition: in order to install a dual boot, first i installed windows7, with only the windows7 hard disk plugged, next, i installed ubuntu in another disk (with windows hard disk connected too), so now i have grub with dual boot.... but when trying to boot windows, fails into an infinite recovery loop boot, how can i solve this?
[22:23] <APoulos> k014, the best way to dual boot is to use FreeBCD
[22:23] <APoulos> k014, sorry EasyBCD
[22:24] <Aprel> k014: the installs need to be on the same hdd to do a dual boot
[22:24] <APoulos> k014, that replaces Grub with the Windows Dual Boot settings, so there wont be any issues on the windows side and you can keep your Ubuntu running
[22:24] <APoulos> Aprel, gotta restart my cpu for the updates - one sec
[22:24] <Nach0z> k014: Boot ubuntu, and run "sudo updategrub2", see if that works, if not, you could try SuperGrub2Disk
[22:25] <Aprel> k014: you can install them on separate hdds and then go to your BIOS settings and pick which hdd to boot from
[22:25] <Aprel> That's not technically a dual boot, though, but it'll do what you want
[22:25] <k014> i installed windows 7 and ubuntu in different disks
[22:26] <Aprel> It'll prob be annoying having to go to your Bios whenever you want to boot a different os, tho
[22:26] <k014> yes
[22:26] <k014> i dont know why is does not working now
[22:26] <Aprel> you need to install on same hard drive if you want to dual boot with grub. Install windows first
[22:26] <k014> i just wanted to format my windows 7 partition...., but this time it doesn't work
[22:26] <Junjie> exactly
[22:26] <Al-Hind> Hello
[22:27] <Junjie> You should install it on same hard drive
[22:27] <Nach0z> yeah, honestly, I'd have installed them on the same disk, and just mounted directories to the other disk, k014
[22:27] <Al-Hind> can ubuntu search a word inside a file?
[22:27] <iLogical> I have this problem. I am using nvidia proprietary drivers but it doesn't show up in "Hardware Drives". When I turned to free ones I had one problem I don't remember but it rendered the system unusable.  This combination of steps are the only way I can get it back. The problem is that everytime I get it back it gets black again. And sometimes it goes away, sometimes not, then
[22:27] <iLogical> I need to restart the computer several times until it stops.
[22:27] <Aprel> Nach0z describes ideally what you want to do
[22:27] <k014> is necesary to install in the same disk?, i mean, just a week ago i had grub booting ubuntu and windows in separate disks
[22:28] <Nach0z> Aprel: I'm responding to k014, lol
[22:28] <Nach0z> k014: yes, it's necessary, to my knowledge, but you can mount different directories to different disks.
[22:28] <Aprel> Nach0z: yeah i know. I was underscore your point for k014 because that's prob the best option for himn :)
[22:28] <k014> oh god i hat windows
[22:28] <k014> hate
[22:29] <Nach0z> ah. gotcha
[22:29] <Nach0z> http://bit.ly/Jjs6Qw <--- k014, check this, it MIGHT be useful for you
[22:29] <Nach0z> may or may not work
[22:29] <k014> thx
[22:30] <Bulletrulz> mkay
[22:30] <Al-Hind> hello can someone tell me is it possible to search a word or phrase in a file
[22:30] <wilee-nilee> k014, I think hate is not a functional on a inanimate object, but thanks for sharing. :)
[22:30] <Nach0z> Al-Hind: cat <filename> | grep "word you're looking for" -i
[22:31] <k014> disagree, i hate the reain
[22:31] <k014> rain*
[22:31] <L3top> Al-Hind: grep <string> /location/* or <file>
[22:32] <Al-Hind> where should i type this command?
[22:32] <L3top> Al-Hind: grep -r <string> /path    for a recursive command
[22:32] <L3top> in terminal Al-Hind
[22:32] <k014> ok, i tried "sudo update-grub2" and detected the windows partition....., then i selected that entry in grub, and begin to boot windows, but windows boots the system recovery partition, ..... not finding any issue, again and again
[22:32] <iLogical> I have this problem. I am using nvidia proprietary drivers but it doesn't show up in "Hardware Drives". When I turned to free ones I had one problem I don't remember but it rendered the system unusable.  This combination of steps are the only way I can get it back. The problem is that everytime I get it back it gets black again. And sometimes it goes away, sometimes not, then
[22:32] <iLogical> I need to restart the computer several times until it stops.
[22:33] <wilee-nilee> k014, I did say functional.
[22:33] <Nach0z> iLogical: try shortening your question :|
[22:33] <Aprel> k014: are use referring to windows 7 or 8 cp?
[22:33] <k014> windows7
[22:34] <Al-Hind> this is complicated , doesnt ubuntu have a search like windows?
[22:34] <Aprel> k014: Is it possible your win recovery partition is still on the drive with linux?
[22:34] <L3top> k014: something is wrong... I would use windows to fixmbr  then  fixboot then update-grub again once windows boots
[22:34] <L3top> Al-Hind: linux has a MUCH more powerful search than windows... it is grep
[22:34] <iLogical> I get a black screen. I can ctrl+f6, ctrl+f7 to get it back. Sometimes I need to restart the computer several times to stop it. How do I fix that?
[22:35] <k014> Aprel: no, windows (sdb1 and sdb2) and ubuntu (sda1) are in differents disks L3top: what do you mean?
[22:35] <Nach0z> iLogical: nvidia drivers. alright. Are you on a laptop?
[22:35] <iLogical> no?
[22:35] <iLogical> no!
[22:36] <Tittu> how do i switch back to gnome from unity in ubuntu 12.04 ?
[22:36] <Nach0z> no. not a laptop. hm.
[22:36] <L3top> k014: in order for windows to function, it needs to think it is boss... then you can actually control it with windows.
[22:36] <iLogical> accidental (??
[22:36] <L3top> iLogical: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[22:36] <Al-Hind> L3top in windows i use windows search and very simple i find it hard on ubuntu
[22:36] <iLogical> 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series] [1002:791e]
[22:36] <L3top> k014: control it with linux*
[22:37] <Al-Hind> for example i have an odt file containing list of employees and i want to find client name smith how do i do it?
[22:37] <k014> L3top: how?
[22:37] <L3top> iLogical: did you try and install the fglrx drivers? apt-cache policy fglrx | grep Installed
[22:37] <k014> also a note: gparted shows that boot disks have the flag "boot" in their first partitions
[22:37] <LordOfTime> Al-Hind:  open the file in the program that can read that?
[22:37] <LordOfTime> odt is an open office / libre office data type
[22:38] <iLogical> L3top,   Installed: 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu6
[22:38] <L3top> k014: as I explained... boot to windows recovery console (from disk) and run the commands fixmbr     and then     fixboot, then reboot and update-grub
[22:38] <Al-Hind> lordoftime i have lots of docx files and in it are client names , in windows search if i type smith it points to the file name and location in the file, how to do in ubuntu?
[22:39] <L3top> iLogical: your chipset is explicitly not supported.
[22:39] <k014> now i am removing the flag "boot" from linux partition (sda1)
[22:39] <k014> L3top: thank you...! i gonna try that
[22:39] <gohdan> Al-Hind: try 'gnome-search-tool'
[22:39] <L3top> iLogical: I am going to pm you if it is ok with you and the mods to give you a number of commands to purge that and reinstall your drivers
[22:39] <iLogical> ok
[22:39] <LordOfTime> Al-Hind:  try what gohdan recommended, but my client crap is in an encrypted db so... makes my job easier :P
[22:40] <L3top> ok with you ikonia or IdleOne?
[22:40] <L3top> I guess I could put it in a pastebin...
[22:40] <L3top> one second
[22:40] <vicatcu> hi all - my ubuntu installation is running, but a number of system apps are not operational; e.g. network manager crashes if I just try to open it
[22:41] <vicatcu> is there any way to "repair" my ubuntu installation?
[22:41] <vicatcu> this all happened in the midst of upgrading to 12.04
[22:41] <vicatcu> from 11.10
[22:42] <k014> L3top: 'fixmbr' isn not recognized as an internal or external command
[22:42] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, in a terminal run these two commands and se if things clear up in the download manager. sudo dpkg --configure -a  sudo apt-get -f install
[22:42] <L3top> k014: it is a windows recovery console command
[22:42] <L3top> k014: you will need to boot to a windows disk
[22:42] <k014> yeah i am on it
[22:42] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, as one command sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install
[22:43] <k014> L3top: maybe the command is: "bootrec /fixmbr" ???
[22:43] <wilee-nilee> bootrec.exe /fixmbr
[22:43] <L3top> the command is simply fixmbr from a windows recovery console
[22:43] <k014> now i am in: X:\windows\system32>_
[22:43] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: http://pastebin.com/zpDRMZ1R
[22:44] <wilee-nilee> that is a vista or w7 command though
[22:44] <L3top> follow wilee-nilee trying to put together something
[22:44] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: it didn't appear to have an effect as far as I can tell from the output
[22:44] <k014> yeah worked: "the operation completed succesfully"
[22:45] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, Ah the partial upgrade try the update manager now but update it first.
[22:45] <k014> now, to the fixboot
[22:45] <k014> "BootRec.exe /fixboot"
[22:45] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: update it first... ?
[22:45] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, yes
[22:45] <vicatcu> how?
[22:45] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, hit check
[22:45] <LordOfTime> um...
[22:46] <LordOfTime> whoops sorry wrong channel
[22:46] <LordOfTime> :/
[22:46] <iLogical> L3top, hello
[22:46] <k014> did: "bootrec /fixboot"    and says "Element not found"
[22:46] <k014> weid, now to reset
[22:46] <k014> weird*
[22:46] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: when it first comes up i get prompted, so i should not choose partial upgrade, but rather close initially?
[22:46] <gohdan> anyway i can limit the bandwidth used by apt when it is pulling in a pkg as not to hose other people connected to my machine?
[22:46] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: then click "check"
[22:47] <vicatcu> then click "install updates" after that finishes?
[22:47] <L3top> iLogical: http://pastebin.com/0f8mpC7j
[22:47] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, as long as it does not offer a partial upgrade yes
[22:47] <iLogical> L3top, can I do it with gnome on:
[22:47] <iLogical> ?
[22:47] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: it offers partial upgrade again after I do the "check"
[22:48] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: shall I choose it this time?
[22:48] <wilee-nilee> k014, here is the full command set for vista and W7 for a rbuild of the bcd . http://paste.ubuntu.com/999943/
[22:48] <L3top> give those who are concerned a moment to look over before copy pasting... and paste the first line first... then add your pass, and you can just paste the rest in a blob
[22:48] <L3top> iLogical: no  and look ^
[22:48] <k014> thx
[22:49] <johnsonchetty> hallo hallo!
[22:49] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, No run this command in the terminal and paste bin all the text you see. cat /etc/apt/sources.list   then run a sudo ap-get update and post al the text as well in a pastebin
[22:49] <L3top> wait iLogical
[22:49] <iLogical> ok
[22:49] <L3top> that second line will blow an error
[22:49] <wilee-nilee> !pastebin | vicatcu
[22:49] <iLogical> ok
[22:50] <L3top> remove fglrx-modaliases from it
[22:50] <ShinyObjects> Hey guys - I've been using Ubuntu for a long time but I'm new to 12.04
[22:50] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, sorry the correct command is sudo apt-get update
[22:50] <L3top> that is no longer separated in 1204 iLogical
[22:50] <ShinyObjects> I have a bunch of old gtk2 themes that I'd like to use, but when I put them in ~/.themes they don't show up in the appearance preferences
[22:50] <ShinyObjects> What do I need to do differently to get them to show up in the preferences dialog?
[22:51] <L3top> iLogical: fglrx-modalieses  that is
[22:51] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, I'm on the IRC but other places as well once you do this use my nic as you have so I know you have posted
[22:51] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/999946/
[22:51] <johnsonchetty> ok. *blonde error* happening here... I have just installed 12.04 . The system wont boot in normal mode! but when i go to recovery mode and choose resume, it works like a dream! Whats with that???
[22:51] <iLogical> L3top, I can't ctrl+f any other shell
[22:52] <L3top> iLogical: you asked if you can do it with gnome on... I misunderstood your question... you cannot do it with gnome tools... but with gnome active is not a problem
[22:52] <iLogical> ok
[22:52] <k014> L3top: this commands needs to be in windows USB instalation stick?, or from windows recovery partition? (sdb1)
[22:52] <iLogical> then I will do it on with gnome, ok? l3dx
[22:52] <L3top> k014: from a windows DVD is all I knwo
[22:52] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, cool now run the update command I posted in the terminal as well
[22:52] <iLogical> L3top,
[22:52] <L3top> iLogical: correct
[22:52] <iLogical> **
[22:53] <johnsonchetty> ok. * stupid error* happening here... I have just installed 12.04 . The system wont boot in normal mode! but when i go to recovery mode and choose resume, it works like a dream! Whats with that???
[22:54] <Magi_zian> http://tx0.org/3ll   <-- Magizian (Hunter Reon Barnes) is now a billboard model... this 40 foot advertisement billboard in Dubai, UAE, Sheikh Zayed Road (Main street) I didn't consent to use of my image nor do I endorse their company/product (unless they wind up paying me)
[22:54] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, in the terminal and then in a pastebin sudo apt-get update
[22:55] <psusi> johnsonchetty, define "won't boot"
[22:55] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/999955/
[22:55] <johnsonchetty> well i choose the option, but it just hangs ...
[22:55] <JPeterso2> what should i do when sudo do-release-upgrade has hanged on a step?
[22:55] <iLogical> L3top, $ sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf    rm: cannot remove `/etc/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory
[22:55] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, I need every single bit of text
[22:55] <johnsonchetty> i have to manually reboot the system...
[22:55] <JPeterso2> (it has hanged on Setting up grub-pc (1.99-21ubuntu3) ...´)
[22:56] <psusi> johnsonchetty, and what do you see on the screen?
[22:56] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: the next line is just the prompt
[22:56] <sw0rdfish> man 12.04 is too tough on my old hardware.... I might end up switching OS at this rate.... my laptop keeps shutting down cuz of overheating everyday NOW!
[22:56] <johnsonchetty> hahaha nothing!
[22:56] <sw0rdfish> once or twice.
[22:56] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, especialy the endsudo apt-get update
[22:56] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, especialy the end
[22:56] <johnsonchetty> no ubuntu progress bar
[22:56] <psusi> johnsonchetty, press 'e' to edit the entry, and remove the splash and quiet options and try that
[22:57] <GreekFreak> For some reason when I run this command in Cron 'cd /media/3E18014B1801041D/Platform/code/admin_base/ && echo "Testing" >> /log/cron_log.log' it doesn't run. But when I run this 'echo "Testing" /media/3E18014B1801041D/Platform/code/admin_base/log/cron_log.log' it runs perfectly. I'm assuming it has to do with the 'cd' part. Any ideas?
[22:57] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: I think I got it all...
[22:57] <johnsonchetty> wow lemme do that rite now
[22:57] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, cool then run sudo apt-get upgrade don't accept it but all the text again
[22:57] <johnsonchetty> thanx btw psusi
[22:57] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: Do you want to continue [Y/n]? I should respond with n?
[22:58] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, just hang don't het anything just post the text from the upgrade
[22:58] <wilee-nilee> hit*
[22:58] <johnsonchetty> psusi im gonna keep the _4vt_handoff rite?
[22:58] <RidDrib> my internet conection is slow!
[22:58] <vicatcu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/999956/
[22:58] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, I'm looking for errors
[22:58] <vicatcu> wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/999956/
[22:59] <L3top> iLogical: sorry xorg.conf is old school as well... I am eating dinner
[22:59] <L3top> you can skip that iLogical
[22:59] <psusi> johnsonchetty, oh, yea.. take that one out too
[22:59] <ferhat> selam, iyi aksamlar
[22:59] <iLogical> OK
[22:59] <iLogical> time to reboot
[22:59] <vale_maio> hello there, i'm going to install ubuntu 12.04 on a samsung n150. does anybody here know this computer? i need help to find out which partitions are for restoring win 7 and which are the partitions with the original OS
[22:59] <ferhat> irssi kullanan var mı?
[23:00] <johnsonchetty> psusi ok.. hey just asking but i should simply press Esc for changes to reflect right??
[23:01] <johnsonchetty> psusi = Nope not happening!\
[23:01] <ferhat> exit
[23:02] <iLogical> L3top, system seems faster. I hope I don't get more black screen of death.
[23:02] <escott> GreekFreak, you should not put "commands" like that into cron. make a script and put the script into cron
[23:02] <iLogical> Thank you!
[23:02] <L3top> You should not iLogical... you are welcome
[23:02] <wilee-nilee> .vicatcu, to be honest this is a tough one for me, I always have everything backed up and the OS cloned, so I don't fear anything, lol.  Sometimes the upgrade needs one of or several of the allowed upgrades to run the rest with another update and upgarde I can't really tell here
[23:03] <takeadare_> Running 12.04 on my new laptop, I've been running and liking Unity on my desktop since it came out. On my laptop, most times my windows are maximized and Unity is frustrating to get it to pop out.
[23:03] <psusi> johnsonchetty, you press 'e' to edit the command... I think it was ctrl-x to execute, the bottom of the screen should say
[23:03] <GreekFreak> escott, Can you please point me in the right direction? I've been looking and trying things all day. Help isn't readily available it seems
[23:03] <takeadare_> I increased the sensitivity to maximum in appearances
[23:04] <escott> GreekFreak, what is happening there is that cron runs the commands through execve NOT through /bin/sh. once you realize that try and figure out what the binary for "cd" is and it will all make sense
[23:04] <Guest98896> I'm installing ubuntu 12.04 on a MacBookPro 15" Intel Core 2 Duo. Mac-osx is on the first half of a terabyte hard drive. I have refit working but when I try to access the linux partition for install all I get is a msg "missing operating system" a blinking cursor and it goes nowhere. Can anyone tell me how to boot into the linux partition. Thank you for any suggestions.
[23:04] <johnsonchetty> psusi ahah my frnd.. another problem is that the bottom part of the screen somehow gets clipped, and I couldnt see those lines... but thats to deal with later..
[23:04] <syed> hi guys
[23:04] <syed> need help! no sound on my ubuntu loudspeakers
[23:04] <johnsonchetty> psusi hold on a sec
[23:04] <szal> !mac | Guest98896
[23:05] <syed> but can hear through headphones when plugged in
[23:05] <wilee-nilee> vicatcu, I'm noticing as well that you seem to have added some PPA repos as well.
[23:05] <GreekFreak> excott, I'm not a high end user in Ubuntu. What do you mean 'the binary for "cd" '? And I assumed that it all ran through /bin/sh
[23:05] <GreekFreak> ^ escott
[23:05] <Guest98896> thank you szal, ill check this out right away
[23:06] <syed> need help!
[23:06] <szal> !sound | syed
[23:06] <bcuraboy> how can i add applications to start-up??
[23:06] <bcuraboy> i wanna add cairo-clock to the start-up of the system
[23:06] <johnsonchetty> psusi: No sir, its just showing a dark purple bg screen... and nothing else.. :(
[23:06] <escott> GreekFreak, and that assumption is wrong. compare "which cd" with "which echo"
[23:07] <syed> I have gone into alasmaster :/ from command line and was told to mute and undo mute from all... which i did and to increase volume that is all done
[23:07] <syed> but still cant sort it out :/
[23:07] <syed> i have posted a post in hardware issues laptops in the forum with a system report
[23:07] <GreekFreak> escott, 'which cd' gives nothing, and 'which echo' gives '/bin/echo'
[23:08] <GreekFreak> escott, Am I even in the right direction?
[23:08] <johnsonchetty> psusi No sir, its just showing a dark purple bg screen... and nothing else..
[23:08] <escott> GreekFreak, because "cd" is a shell builtin. when cron execve's your line what shell is it running under? (ANS it isn't running under a shell -- so there IS not cd)
[23:10] <johnsonchetty> hey you guys any buddy here having boot string conf problem??????  my normal boot work :/
[23:10] <Sidney__> where is the comprehensive guide to networking two computers?
[23:10] <GreekFreak> escott, OH! That makes so much sense. Which is why only full paths worked. So how do I get around that?
[23:11] <escott> GreekFreak, put the commands in a script file (begins with #!/bin/bash and chmod +x the file) -- you should be doing this anyways
[23:12] <escott> Sidney__, comprehensive how? do you mean !ics
[23:13] <bcuraboy> how can i add applications to start-up??
[23:13] <bcuraboy> how can i add applications to start-up??
[23:13] <bcuraboy> i wanna add cairo-clock to the start-up of the system
[23:13] <FloodBot1> bcuraboy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:13] <escott> !info alacarte | bcuraboy
[23:14] <gohdan> syed: try muting and unmuting via the GUI after you crank the levels up in alsamixer
[23:14] <mkanyicy> bcuraboy, next to your username there is the gear icon on top right, click on it and then select 'Startup Applications'
[23:15] <GreekFreak> escott, when I used a gem to do this for me, it would output something like "55 22 * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'echo testing >> /log/cron_log.log'" Would the /bin/bash part not do what you're telling me? (And yes, I know it's still not working but I'm trying to wrap my head around it)
[23:15] <bcuraboy> mkanyicy, but i need the command line
[23:15] <mkanyicy> bcuraboy, why do you need commandline?
[23:15] <Sidney__> escott, no I just need a wiki or man page or what ever is needed to correctly configure my network
[23:15] <GreekFreak> ^ escott, sorry, to clarify, the gem creates the crontab file from which it runs the crons
[23:15] <bcuraboy> because to add the command to start the applications
[23:16] <bcuraboy> in this case,cairo-clock
[23:16] <gohdan> syed: there is some sort of disconnect somewhere between alsa and what the default volume control programs agree on.
[23:16] <escott> GreekFreak, the bin bash is specifying the shell to execute under so its getting around that issue of not having a shell by explicitly specifying the shell
[23:16] <mkanyicy> bcuraboy, so why do you think you cant add cairo clock there?
[23:17] <bcuraboy> bacause it doesn't load at startup of the system
[23:17] <escott> Sidney__, configure your network to do what? PTP connection between two manchines? connection sharing from one machine to another? DHCP or static? ...
[23:17] <gohdan> syed: try installing this (maybe) if all else fails: "gnome-alsamixer"
[23:17] <syed> thanks gohdan.... tried doing the GUI  thing too
[23:18] <L3top> !info gnome-alsamixer
[23:18] <syed> okay... can you tell me how to install?
[23:18] <tomatto_> hello
[23:18] <OerHeks> gohdan "alsamixer' should be available standard
[23:18] <OerHeks> in terminal
[23:18] <tomatto_> why what i compile in gentoo can't be run in ubuntu?
[23:18] <gohdan> OerHeks: alsamixer tells lies
[23:19] <L3top> tomatto_: because you do not have the prerequisite libraries?
[23:19] <Rud_> tomatto_: different libraries?
[23:19] <gohdan> syed: try the mute/unmute this first though
[23:19] <tomatto_> it isn't start anyway
[23:19] <syed> humm did that
[23:19] <syed> nothing is happening
[23:20] <syed> Uploaded my Alsa script report :/ http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5f...e6f1931ce0826f
[23:20] <gohdan> dont mute form alsa
[23:20] <L3top> tomatto_: well then... clearly it is the fault of the OS for not having gentoo libraries...
[23:20] <syed> not sure if that is of any help
[23:20] <mkanyicy> bcuraboy, then create a service script and put it on /etc/init.d folder and read manuals: man init, man service, man runlevel
[23:20] <L3top> tomatto_: that was snotty, I apologize
[23:20] <OccupyDemonoid> Hello, is there a way to use ssh like remote desktop and show the desktop via it? Well, sorta like how remote desktop is.
[23:20] <mkanyicy> bcuraboy, just check one service that works there and mimic it
[23:21] <syed> please do appologise, i am very green at linux - was using windows till 3 weeks back, and havent had much time to play yet
[23:21] <escott> OccupyDemonoid, ssh -X user@host and just start your gui applications
[23:21] <L3top> tomatto_: what are you trying to compile?
[23:21] <OccupyDemonoid> Thank you, escott. :)
[23:22] <L3top> OccupyDemonoid: it will not be fast at all... but it does get the job done
[23:22] <tomatto_> L3top: libraries should be the same...my own program in qt
[23:22] <L3top> OccupyDemonoid: i wouldn't try and watch a video or anything.
[23:22] <OccupyDemonoid> L3top, that is perfectly fine. I am just doing it within a local network.
[23:22] <L3top> tomatto_: post the errors, what version of qt?
[23:23] <L3top> OccupyDemonoid: doesn't really matter
[23:23] <tomatto_> L3top: 4.8.1 qt static. when i type ldd myapp it returns: not a dynamic executable
[23:24] <HaPK_PerCar> hey, I have a couple of questions regarding sound. 1) how do I do a recording of my desktop and all that's passing trough my soundcard at the same time? 2) How do I hear what's comming from the Line In?
[23:25] <mkanyicy> HaPK_PerCar, try 'recordmydesktop'
[23:26] <Sidney__> escott, two linux machines but on onw\e I cant open the shated drives
[23:26] <L3top> I am sorry tomatto_ I want to help you but I have to go. If you are on later we can go through it, or you can try #qt
[23:26] <HaPK_PerCar> mkanyicy, I know of recordmydesktop, but how do I record what's going trough the soundcard (speakers, mic, line in, etc)?
[23:27] <syed> gohdan: installed gnome-alsamixer
[23:27] <escott> Sidney__, you need to be *much* more specific about what *exactly* you are trying to do
[23:28] <syed> but it seems the problem hasnt resolved yet :/ not sure i have got a feeling the soundcard being detected by the gnome-alsamixer is not the right one? :/
[23:28] <ZaNeIuM> how to i make a file that has command prompts like windows bat files in ubuntu?
[23:28] <syed> ?
[23:28] <GreekFreak> escott, I'm trying various things (haven't gotten to the script yet, as I'm trying to make it work with the gem I'm using for Rails). Why would doing /bin/bash -l -c cd /media/.../mydir not work?
[23:28] <Sidney__> I need to see the hard drives between the two machines
[23:29] <escott> ZaNeIuM, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/226703/how-do-i-prompt-for-input-in-a-linux-shell-script
[23:29] <escott> GreekFreak, is the "cd /.../" part in quotes?
[23:29] <mkanyicy> GreekFreak, what do you want to achieve?
[23:30] <GreekFreak> escott, I'll try it again now and see.
[23:30] <escott> Sidney__, "see the harddrive" do you mean you just want to share the files in the same way you might in windows through the "network neighborhood"
[23:30] <GreekFreak> mkanyicy, I want to clean up some records in my database every night, and I want to do it by calling a method in a Model.
[23:31] <gohdan> do you get ANY output if you run 'speaker-test'??
[23:31] <gohdan> syed: ^^
[23:32] <mkanyicy> GreekFreak, sounds like object orientation stuff
[23:32] <syed> hummm speak-test is that a seperate app or do you mean the test within the gui sound mixer
[23:32] <gohdan> its a command that generates white noise
[23:32] <syed> non within sound setting sound test
[23:32] <syed> but works fine with headphones plugged in
[23:32] <GreekFreak> escott, this is what it outputs :      30 1 * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /media/3E18014B1801041D/Platform/code/admin_base && echo '\''starting again'\'' >> /log/cron_log.log'
[23:33] <GreekFreak> mkanyicy, it is
[23:33] <ZaNeIuM> escott: huh
[23:33] <escott> GreekFreak, the first ' is closed by the ' prior to the \' after the echo. i dont think you want that
[23:33] <vacho> where can I find a free SSL certificate?
[23:34] <escott> vacho, you can sign your own
[23:34] <vacho> escott: does that mean they will get a popup everytime they come to my site?
[23:34] <gohdan> vacho: sign your own. or try startcom
[23:35] <vacho> .
[23:35] <mkanyicy> GreekFreak, you can use double quotes for the echo and quotes for the entire bash commandlines
[23:35] <Sidney__> escott yes  one machine is ubuntu the other is Debian and I want to configure these machines to share files
[23:35] <GreekFreak> escott, is this better :            30 1 * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /media/3E18014B1801041D/Platform/code/admin_base && echo starting again >> /log/cron_log.log'
[23:35] <gohdan> vacho: EFF uses them (startcom)
[23:36] <mkanyicy> GreekFreak, s/and quotes/and single quotes/
[23:36] <vacho> what is eff?
[23:36] <escott> Sidney__, the unix'y way to share files from linux to linux is either through ssh/scp/sshfs or through nfs. alternately you could install samba and use that
[23:36] <GreekFreak> mkanyicy, I'm trying to get it to work with this gem they recommend. If it fails I'll hack it with the quotes as you suggested
[23:37] <mkanyicy> GreekFreak,  is gem a ruby thing?
[23:37] <escott> GreekFreak, I would strongly suggest just putting these commands into a separate file and then running that file from cron
[23:37] <GreekFreak> mkanyicy, sorry, bad habit. yes
[23:37] <gohdan> vacho: Electronic Frontier Foundation
[23:37] <mkanyicy> GreekFreak, i support what escott is recommending you do
[23:37] <Sidney__> ssh
[23:38] <GreekFreak> escott, ok. I'll do it that way. That would mean I'd have to put something like
[23:38] <syed> is it possible to change displayed soundcard on genom alsamixer - from SigmaTel CXD9872AKD to intel HD?
[23:38] <GreekFreak> escott, ^ #!/bin/bash at the top of the file
[23:38] <escott> GreekFreak, yes. put the /bin/bash shebang, mark it executable, and the body of the script can just be normal bash commands
[23:38] <mkanyicy> GreekFreak, ya, but no caret
[23:39] <syed> or am I completely of the track and is sigmatel actually right :/ not sure here
[23:39] <escott> mkanyicy, he means the caret as the beginning of line marker
[23:39] <rebe> can I change device name ?
[23:40] <GreekFreak> escott, mkanyicy, thank you. I'll give it a try now
[23:40] <mkanyicy> escott, ok
[23:40] <gohdan> What is the command to launch the regular sound settings thing that comes with unity?
[23:41] <escott> rebe, why do you want to do that?
[23:42] <Sidney__> escott,  I'm using nfs now I'll look at the differences
[23:42] <rebe> because name is too long, and takes too much space in terminal
[23:43] <escott> rebe, you could add a udev rule to create a new symlink to the device
[23:43] <Ztane> rebe: you mean host name right?
[23:44] <rebe> name@thisnameistoolong: ~
[23:44] <Ztane> it is the hostname
[23:44] <pehden> www.wegotoyourpc.com catchy aint it?
[23:45]  * Disconnected (Remote host closed the connection)
[23:46] <bandit5432> any one know of a dev channel for bugs?
[23:46] <Rob_s820> Hello. Is this the channel for in-depth help?
[23:46] <bandit5432> i keep joining here and spending time helping instead of getting help
[23:46] <mkanyicy> rebe: what do want to do again?
[23:47] <rebe> change host name
[23:47] <L3top> !bugs | bandit5432
[23:47] <mkanyicy> why do you want to do that, rebe?
[23:47] <bandit5432> L3top, bug was supposed to be fixed upstream still is bugging out
[23:47] <Ztane> mkanyicy: bc the current name is too long
[23:47] <Ztane> :D
[23:47] <rebe> what is the difference why I just do :)
[23:48] <rebe> its too long
[23:48] <Ztane> rebe: sudo nano /etc/hostname
[23:48] <mkanyicy> rebe: where is it too long?
[23:48] <Ztane> and sudo nano /etc/hosts
[23:48] <GreekFreak> escott, mkanyicy, would I be looking at something like this?
[23:48] <GreekFreak> ^ https://gist.github.com/2765451
[23:48] <rebe> mkanyicy: in termina
[23:49] <mkanyicy> rebe: you can just change the PS1 environment variable in .bashrc
[23:49] <Ztane> rebe: and finally sudo hostname -b -F /etc/hostname
[23:49] <Rob_s820> Could someone let me know if this is the correct channel for 12.04 ubuntu support?
[23:49] <escott> GreekFreak, sure. the only distinction is that the echo command runs even if the cd fails. if you want that behavior you have to have the &&
[23:49] <bandit5432> Rob_s820, it is
[23:49] <lledet> anyone else have problems with postfix after upgrading to 12.04?
[23:49] <L3top> that does not change the procedure one bit bandit5432
[23:50] <mkanyicy> rebe: these lines in .bashrc:
[23:50] <Ztane> lledet: nope
[23:50] <Rob_s820> bandit5432: Thank you.
[23:50] <mkanyicy> rebe:    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
[23:50] <mkanyicy>     PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
[23:50] <mkanyicy>     PS1="\[\e]0;${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h: \w\a\]$P
[23:50] <bandit5432> L3top, thanks so there is no dev channel?
[23:50] <escott> GreekFreak, alternately you can set -e the script (at the top) and it will fail at the first error
[23:50] <mkanyicy> rebe: you can just remove the ]
[23:50] <L3top> there is indeed a dev channel... they do dev work there... they do not take bug reports bandit5432
[23:50] <mkanyicy> rebe: the \h which is for the hostname and put a pseudo hostname of your choice there
[23:51] <GreekFreak> escott, do you mean ' #!/bin/bash -e ' (or the -e on the line below?)
[23:51] <Rob_s820> I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and my Wi-Fi does not work properly. Does anyone know of a solution?
[23:51] <Ztane> Rob_s820: which adapter?
[23:51] <escott> GreekFreak, /bin/bash -e is the same as /bin/bash followed by set -e
[23:51] <Ztane> Rob_s820: which brand
[23:51] <L3top> bandit5432: it is ubuntu-devel  I believe.
[23:52] <Rob_s820> Ztane: It is a Linksys Cisco
[23:52] <escott> GreekFreak, so if you set -e (or /bin/bash -e) you can then have all the commands you want and it is as if you had && between each and every one
[23:52] <bandit5432> L3top, all good i will post on some of the marked as fiex bugs on launchpad
[23:52] <bandit5432> fixed'
[23:52] <L3top> best plan bandit5432... and thank you for taking the time to report
[23:52] <L3top> seriously
[23:52] <AlexGer83> I have some problems installing Lubuntu 12.04 onto a XenCP. I used the minimal nonPAE.ISO. Won't install... should i add a special command?
[23:52] <bandit5432> no problem its what i do best bug reporting :|
[23:52] <mkanyicy> rebe: if you are more brave, you can leave .bashrc untouched and change the /etc/hostname and the /etc/hosts files
[23:53] <GreekFreak> escott, that's exactly what I want. Do I drop the '#!' part or did you leave it out for convenience?
[23:53] <Ztane> Rob_s820: then I have no idea :(
[23:53] <rebe> thanks guys I'll try that out now
[23:53] <Ztane> GreekFreak: keep the #! there
[23:54] <GreekFreak> Ztane, thanks
[23:54] <escott> GreekFreak, you must have the #! its a special code that tells the kernel to prepend the rest of the line to the execve call. If a file begins with #!/some/binary the saying ./filename is the same as exec("/some/binary ./filename")
[23:54] <Rob_s820> Anyone else have an idea? My Wi-Fi works perfectly fine in my Windows 7 install.
[23:54] <GreekFreak> escott, thank you.
[23:56] <Ztane> Rob_s820: you need more specific info, try running lspci in terminal
[23:56] <Ztane> *we need :D
[23:58] <Rob_s820> Ztane: Many things came up. Which one do you need?
[23:59] <jiffe98> is there a way to get a very minimal install of ubuntu server?  I'm going to run it out of ram and I'd like to get down to 500mb if possible
[23:59] <escott> !minimal | jiffe98
