[17:19] <ebbers> Sidewinder1, Doesn't it seem like the question which version of Ubuntu is best for working with Audacity and Vlc is a valuable and needed question?
[17:19] <sun_devil10> trying ssh into virtural but getting a host down or host is blocking.  Checked my iptables and they look they are allowing that port?
[17:20] <wilee-nilee> !best | ebbers
[17:20] <ThinkT510> ebbers: not really, they are meant to work in whatever release you use
[17:20] <micheal> wow
[17:20] <Vlan> hi there, someone experiencing low read/write rates w/ SSD drives even w/ AHCI enabled?
[17:20] <micheal> so my graphic driver seems to be jacked and theres no way to fix it
[17:21] <ebbers> Sidewinder1, Thank you. And yes I have tried them all and frankly I'm running out of time to dabble. I'm looking for things that work not a dabble around and look for things that don't
[17:21] <red_baron> pls help me hw can I change a symlink path?
[17:21] <Sidewinder1> ebbers, Nothing at all wrong with your question. As I don't use vlc and only rarely audacity, I'm not really qualified to fully answer, sorry.
[17:21] <satyanash> Hello All!
[17:21] <glitsj16> ebbers: might be helpfull to approach your problem(s) from the opposite viewpoint: which vlc/audacity version works best for your installed ubuntu version .. have you tried the latest vlc from a PPA (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/07/how-to-upgrade-to-the-latest-vlc-release-in-ubuntu-12-04) yet?
[17:22] <Sidewinder1> ebbers, Good luck, either way. :-)
[17:22] <satyanash> I have started my session using startx, and everything is working fine except sound. How would I turn on sound?
[17:22] <ebbers> Sidewinder1, Yes I hear you and I'm trying to locate the community that does use vlc and audacity which cover audio recording playback and streaming.
[17:22] <Sidewinder1> !ppa
[17:22] <Sidewinder1> Note the unsupported.
[17:22] <ebbers> Seems that audio playback/recording/streaming are valuable functions of an OS
[17:23] <Sidewinder1> Agreed.
[17:23] <satyanash> I have checked alsamixer And all my bars are maximixed. I am also a member of the 'audio' group.
[17:24] <reborn> hello there? i need a little help, please? thanks.
[17:24] <ThinkT510> reborn: rather difficult to help without a description of your problem
[17:24] <Sidewinder1> ebbers, Just as a side note, I'm currently listening to an old radio broadcast recording (mp3 format) using Totem. Whatever works for you.
[17:24] <wilee-nilee> reborn, tell us the problem.
[17:24] <ebbers> Hence I come here for my questions but I'm finding an Ubuntu centric community that has not asked the value of support for other applications seemingly.
[17:24] <reborn> look this link http://tinypic.com/r/116tdms/6
[17:25] <wilee-nilee> ebbers, you will see what you project to be the truth.
[17:25] <ebbers> Sidewinder1, I'm not talking about listening to a stream i'm talking about broadcasting a stream
[17:25] <reborn> how do i fix this window theme?
[17:25] <mzaam> red_baron delete it and create new one,
[17:25] <Sidewinder1> ebbers, Seems to me that you're getting a wealth of suggestions; why the light hostility?
[17:26] <red_baron> ok, but where I could find the symlink file?
[17:26] <ebbers> wilee-nilee, Thank you as I rely on myself and others to see the truth
[17:26] <mzaam> reborn whats wrong with your theme?
[17:27] <reborn> Mzaam, last night i installed ubuntu PC, everything is perfect, then now in the morning, a different window theme.
[17:27] <Sidewinder1> ebbers, Since I'm totally unfamiliar with streaming (other than on the receiving end), I'll politely and respectfully bow out. Again, good luck. :-)

[17:27] <ebbers> Sidewinder1, I'm frustrated that some of the most popular applications are seemingly not interesting to ubuntu irc
[17:27] <wilee-nilee> ebbers, hehe truth is s illusion, but carry on.
[17:27] <wilee-nilee> an*
[17:28] <micheal> my graphics driver is currently wacked out can i just remove and re install it
[17:28] <ebbers> wilee-nilee, I'll take that into consideration and thanks for the permission to carry on
[17:28] <mzaam> baron use settings>>appearance to change theme
[17:28] <bond_> hello
[17:28] <bond_> somehow my login managers dont take me to xubuntu
[17:29] <bond_> i tried gdm and lightdm
[17:29] <wilee-nilee> ebbers, you are welcome. ;)
[17:29] <ei2matrix> hi guys, question, what iso must download for install on a mac based on intel hw?
[17:29] <bond_> they both fall back to the login prompt after entering the password
[17:29] <reborn> i've tried, that, it seem don't work, command line?
[17:29] <bond_> startx works though
[17:29] <ebbers> Sidewinder1, Audacity and VLC are staples in the opensource community why can't we support them?
[17:30] <ThinkT510> !volunteers | ebbers
[17:30] <ebbers> Sidewinder1, Or rather5 support Ubuntu using them?
[17:31] <mzaam> reborn install ubuntu tweak
[17:31] <ebbers> I am a volunteer. Volunteering information. Perhaps its not of value and I am barking up the wrong tree?
[17:31] <reborn> i already have.
[17:31] <ebbers> Interesting how the volunteer culture works
[17:32] <mzaam> reborn: cant use it?
[17:32] <ThinkT510> ebbers: tone done the attitude, if people aren't using the features you are then they can't really help you
[17:32] <reborn> i already to change the window theme, and still same window theme. i don't understand why.
[17:32] <ThinkT510> ebbers: try looking at the forums
[17:32] <Miggs> Hey guys, I've got a problem with either PulseAudio or Zeroconf not picking up my network sound sink (even though it can be seen in avahi-discover - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1154444/ - and paprefs is set to make network sinks available locally). Any hints?
[17:32] <mynickname> do you guys think that a file with a virus, like a .pdf or .wmv file would be a threat in linux?
[17:33] <Sidewinder1> Yes, the forums is/are a most valuable resource!
[17:33] <ebbers> ThinkT510, I guess i'm amazed that no one cares to use Audacity and VLC   I truly find it hard to accept but i will stop interuptinfg this chat thank you!
[17:34] <glitsj16> ei2matrix: http://lifehacker.com/5934942/how-to-dual-boot-linux-on-your-mac-and-take-back-your-powerhouse-apple-hardware might be worth a read
[17:34] <wilee-nilee> mynickname, hard to sya but it could be passed on to a OS that would be affected, having one on board is not good.
[17:34] <wilee-nilee> zay*
[17:34] <wilee-nilee> say*
[17:34] <ebbers> ThinkT510, I have and usually check high and low before asking for a volunteer to help. I have looked everywhere. NOTHING about 12.04 and Audacity and VLC that was effective
[17:34] <i7c> is there a way to keep an encrypted /home mounted after logging out from ubuntu server? because i might have processes running in background that keep use /home
[17:35] <Sidewinder1> mynickname, The short answer is a resounding no. That said perhaps you could have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812
[17:35] <mzaam> reborn try lxappearance
[17:35] <mzaam> baron what link are you going to change?
[17:36] <UnknownFork> Hello, I have had an installation of Xubuntu 12.04 for over 3 months on my Toshiba Mini NB505-N508BL. Two days ago its touchpad randomly stopped working and it still won't work after I rebooted multiple times. The touchpad used to stop working for short periods of time, but would continue to work after a reboot. Help?
[17:36] <Sidewinder1> mynickname, And, what wilee-nilee said. :-)
[17:36] <mynickname> so a resounding maybe? :)
[17:36] <ebbers> THE LAND MAYBE
[17:36] <mynickname> that off chance makes me want to install avast or something
[17:37] <reborn> brilliant, thanks..
[17:37] <ThinkT510> ebbers: lets be specific, what is the problem you are having with audacity
[17:37] <Sidewinder1> mynickname, Please read the forum link that I gave you. :)
[17:38] <mynickname> I think I'll check out that ubuntu security page; I'm multitasking intensively right now
[17:38] <mynickname> thanks, btw
[17:38] <Sidewinder1> My pleasure.
[17:38] <L3top> !virus | mynickname
[17:38] <wilee-nilee> mynickname, the definition of a virus lets just say badware here is different in opensource, you can install an av but they work diffrently in open source it is not a find a kill mech it is justa a find, and you decide how to kill it and you will get false positives most likely.
[17:38] <ebbers> ThinkT510, When I record it speeds up and slows down every 3 seconds roughly
[17:39] <bond_> does anybody know an answer to my question? :( its kinda annoying to use the console all the time
[17:39] <ebbers> ThinkT510, I tried changing the project rate and that did affect how often this would occur but it continued anyway
[17:40] <wilee-nilee> bond_, you might start a thread at the ubuntu forums just to have another option.
[17:40] <mzaam> bond_ simply fresh install xubuntu or try other window manager
[17:41] <wilee-nilee> or try #xubuntu
[17:41] <ebbers> Truly just frustrated about how many times I've loaded 12.04 and now I'm coming to the realization that I have to load 10.04
[17:42] <ebbers> Thanks for all your help and responses!  -Ebbers
[17:42] <Sidewinder1> :)\
[17:42] <mynickname> thanks, guys
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> hmm
[17:43] <i7c> is there a way to keep an encrypted /home mounted after logging out from ubuntu server? because i might have processes running in background that keep use /home
[17:43] <qdb> why in ubuntu 12 04 , after install of it , connecting to internet, when i run update manager, then restart it, it do not work. if i look with top command, i see dpkg, aptd and other such install processes. it is some background update.
[17:44] <Dr_Willis> if you got processes running. arent you still logged in?
[17:44] <wilee-nilee> qdb, What is not working?
[17:44] <qdb> wilee-nilee, i say update process is strange in 12 04
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> qdb: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade    same as in all releases of Ubuntu.
[17:45] <wilee-nilee> qdb, Hmm seems the same as any other release to me, not sure I understand you problem.
[17:45] <Dr_Willis> try just using the cli tools above. not the manager
[17:45] <qdb> wilee-nilee, i have to wait for ending of update processes , i do not see any report, what it is installing
[17:45] <wilee-nilee> your*
[17:45]  * ActionParsnip thinks apt-fast should be default installed :)
[17:45] <A_J> ActionParsnip oh hai.
[17:45] <wilee-nilee> qdb, use apt-get you will see everything installed.
[17:46] <wilee-nilee> +1 apt-fast
[17:46] <ebbers> ActionParsnip, I've tried both the apt-get update and upgrade as well as software updates and I don't think they operate exactly the same. What do you think?
[17:46] <qdb> wilee-nilee, after that process starts, apt-get wont work also , because installing is locked
[17:46] <shade34321> I recently upgraded a computer from 11.10 to 12.04 and other than twinview problems it seemed to be working. While trying to fix the twinview issues I rebooted the computer and the keyboard and mouse no longer worked. I can hit F12 during boot to pick boot device but once the login screen hits neither work. When I ssh into the machine lsusb shows that both the keyboard and mouse are seen. Any suggestions on getting them working? Thanks!
[17:46] <qdb> that process seems starts by itself sometimes
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> ebbers: they achieve the same end
[17:46] <wilee-nilee> qdb, you can only have one install running at a time and if you stop it in the middle it will lock.
[17:47] <wilee-nilee> and only one open as well
[17:47] <qdb> wilee-nilee, any way, as ubuntu is going to be graphical desktop, you should talk about it
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> ebbers: you just get to see what is going on, plus any errors will be shown. The GUI apps don't really show that
[17:47] <qdb> wilee-nilee, yes . i know. i hope i can read about that new technology updating
[17:47] <wilee-nilee> qdb, you are not making sense I suspect this language barrier or cultural.
[17:47] <ebbers> ActionParsnip, I've noticed a big difference when loading systems if I use apt-get verses software update. What I notice is that the software update seems to not work in the same order as it would if I didn't uses aopt-get
[17:47] <wilee-nilee> is an*
[17:48] <qdb> wilee-nilee, yes . i know. i hope i can read something official about that  updating in new technology way
[17:48] <ebbers> ActionParsnip, Meaning I end up with a different system load based on which style i choose
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> qdb: if you are having issues with the GUI updater, use the CLI and it cleans things up well
[17:48] <AcidRain2012> someone hacked my forums :/
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> ebbers: do you mean load as in CPU usage?
[17:49] <ebbers> ActionParsnip, This is just one thing I've noticed over the years. No I mean a different set of packages and updates
[17:50] <bond_> i just found out the guest account logs into xfce
[17:50] <Metzee> hello....can help me for find windows 7 ultimate free??
[17:50] <bond_> but my other user cant
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> ebbers: the packages and deps are identical, so the same packages will be updated and installed
[17:50] <bond_> this must be related to the user :X
[17:50] <Dr_Willis> bond_: so whats the issue?
[17:50] <Metzee> hello....can help me for find windows 7 ultimate free??
[17:51] <ebbers> ActionParsnip, The system performs differently based on the procedure. I tend to stick with software updates until they are complete then I use apt-get
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> ebbers: the required packages are read for each package and satisfied
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> bond_:  how about just starting a x session with a terminal and launching xdce desktop by hand and look for errors
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> Metzee:  no..
[17:51] <ebbers> ActionParsnip, Why inconsistency then?
[17:51] <qdb> ActionParsnip, ok i may do  that, but before that i should kill several processes. now i want just read some explanations from ubuntu
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> ebbers: i'm very sure its identical, otherwise you would gen an inconsistant package state if deps are not all met
[17:52] <bond_> Dr_Willis: when i run startx as root xfce starts automatically
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> ebbers: itd be a massive bug and would have been sorted ages ago as it is a fundamental foundation of the OS
[17:53] <Dr_Willis> bond_: carefully check the files and dirs in the problem users home.. last timr i saw somthing similer .Xauthority and other files were owned by root when thet shouldent been
[17:53] <ebbers> ActionParsnip, So you are saying that software update does the exact same thing in the exact same order as apt-get update and upgrade?
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | qdb
[17:53] <livingdaylight> haro
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> ebbers: yes, its just a pretty GUI,some insall the recommended packages, others don't but they will definately install what is needed for the application to run as expected
[17:54] <qdb> ActionParsnip, thank you. i do not need that right now. i want just find some info in internet
[17:54] <livingdaylight> after apt-get update it is apt-get dist-upgrade? NOT apt-get upgrade?
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> ebbers: where have you heard this from?
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight: i do both
[17:54] <Moonlightning> Dr_Willis: isn't that redundant?
[17:54] <Moonlightning> I just do dist-upgrade
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight: dist-upgrade is a more intensive upgrade
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: you can use dist-upgrade and upgrade, you need update to reread the repos
[17:55] <bond_> Dr_Willis: actually .Xauthority IS owned by root and has rw rights on my system
[17:55] <ThinkT510> !dist-upgrade
[17:55] <ebbers> ActionParsnip, Its been my experience I've loading ubuntu since version 6
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> bond_:  it should be owned by the user. id say just move/rename it.. and try logging in
[17:56] <root_> Q all
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> ebbers: there is no version 6, there is 6.06 and 6.10
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> ebbers: I've used ubuntu since Gutsy (7.10)
[17:56]  * Dr_Willis used to use cp/m and minix ;)
[17:57] <ebbers> ActionParsnip, I've loaded Ubuntu 500 +/-. I just noticed this again and again sometimes more than others but definately noticed that the order matters.
[17:57]  * ActionParsnip used to use Mandrake 7 (not quite that far back)
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> ebbers: then I suggest you report a bug
[17:57] <Dr_Willis> order matters in what way? whats different...

[17:59] <ActionParsnip> Colt: you can use disk space analyser to see what folder is largest.
[18:00] <Dr_Willis> mooser: you add it to the awn dock
[18:00] <bond_> Dr_Willis: i chowned .Xauthority to my user and group but the problem persits. actually there are other files owned by root in my users home dir. can i just chown them all?
[18:00] <Colt> did a du --max-depth=1 -h
[18:00]  * KOHUHA f@cks with backtrack
[18:00] <Colt> left over space is in .
[18:00] <mooser> where is awn dock ?
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> bond_: you could just move everything to some backupdir so your home is clean.. and see if it works.. then move things back one by one
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> !awn

[18:02] <Plumblum> aka do i have to add special perms for the user phpmyadmin is running under

[18:02] <mooser> by the way where can I change the pidgins keyboar language setting. I am having hard time to type
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> Colt: you can use bleachbit to free space up
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> i suggest you use xchat for irc, not pidgin
[18:02] <Colt> k
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> mooser: i love pidgin for irc

[18:03] <Shirakawasuna> I'm getting somewhat crappy graphics performance with an integrated nvidia card (not really unexpected). Does anyone here have experience with having *two* nVidia cards but only actually using one? I'm thinking about buying one.
[18:04] <theadmin> Shirakawasuna: I'm not too sure about nVidia, but with AMD cards you can select which to use in amdcccle easily.
[18:04] <mooser> theadmin but keys are acting different in browsers address bar and in pidgin
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> Shirakawasuna:  if they both use the same version of the nvidia driver they should work fine.
[18:04] <theadmin> mooser: Oh? That's not supposed to happen though
[18:04] <bond__> Dr_Willis, finally im on my desktop :) i just chowned my whole home dir
[18:05] <mooser> SORRY THEY WERE NOT
[18:05] <Shirakawasuna> Dr_Willis: Work fine as in I can easily configure it to just use the discrete card?
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> mooser: you may be able to set the language maybe and then run pidgin...not sure really
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> bond__: running things as root withoug gksudo, or running nautilus as root can mess permissions up

[18:06] <theadmin> Moonlightning: Use jockey (It's called "Additional Drivers" in the menus)
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> Shirakawasuna: switch cards, use both, use multi monitors... i do it all with my 2 nvidia cards
[18:06] <theadmin> ei2matrix: That is for any 64-bit machines.
[18:06] <Moonlightning> theadmin: is there a way I can do it through a CLI? It's hard to see anything in the GUI…

[18:07] <ActionParsnip> ei2matrix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation
[18:07] <theadmin> Moonlightning: Sure thing. "sudo jockey-text -l" will list available drivers, and "sudo jockey-text -e 'drivername'" will enable any driver you choose.
[18:07] <Moonlightning> theadmin: okay, thanks ^^
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> Moonlightning: what video chip are you using?
[18:08] <Moonlightning> ActionParsnip: I'm not sure. This is a PowerBook G4, and I'm not sure how to find out from Ubuntu.
[18:08] <Moonlightning> I wiped out the OS X installation and don't have the install disc, either.
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> Moonlightning: if you run:  lspci |grep -i vga    what is output?

[18:13] <wilee-nilee> shade34321, Are you sure you need one?
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> mooser: install gnome-panel and log off, then log in to the new session. If you dislike Unity, install Xubutu, Kubuntu or Lubuntu and it won't even be installed
[18:13] <Moonlightning> ActionParsnip: does that affect the GUI? I still don't see anything in the network list…
[18:13] <mooser> theadmin yeah I want the drop down from task bar
[18:13] <Moonlightning> …weird…I don't see the hidden-network option here either. 6_9
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> Moonlightning: if the CLI can scan the network then the GUI should
[18:14] <theadmin> mooser: You might want to install gnome-panel then

[18:14] <Moonlightning> Argh. Plan B: How do I connect to a WPA2-secured network through a CLI and get the system to remember the network?
[18:15] <wilee-nilee> shade34321, A standard msdos table with extension type partitions should not need a boot partition, but if you feel you need it a ext 4 type is fine.
[18:15] <Shirakawasuna> Dr_Willis: awesome, thank you! I'll be off to the good will soon to see what cards are available :)
[18:16] <sam1967> thheadmin: where should i go to discuss it ?
[18:16] <shade34321> wilee-nilee: well that was my question, is there something I should be using instead
[18:17] <theadmin> Moonlightning: Not sure about the "remember the network" bit, but... wpa_passphrase "your_essid" "your_passphrase" | sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf && wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
[18:17] <wilee-nilee> shade34321, I'm not familiar with a  NFS mounted home partition so not sure in regards to that and a boot partition, others should know though.
[18:18] <Moonlightning> theadmin: shouldn't that be `tee -a`?
[18:19] <theadmin> wilee-nilee: /home is defined by FHS as an optional thingy, so that's no big deal. You're fine without a /home altogether.
[18:19] <mooser> Dr_Willis:  How do I use indictor with awn? I installed both
[18:19] <bogor> I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 LTS on flash drive. It seems to be stuck as there is no progress in progress bar. Is there any log to see if it is stuck and why it is stuck? I heard flash drives are faster the usual HDD. But my hp v220w pen drive seems to be 100 times slower than my sata HDD.
[18:19] <milen8204> Hello all how can I add a folder in menu "Place" on gnome 3 ?
[18:19] <shade34321> wilee-nilee: thanks anyways
[18:19] <theadmin> Moonlightning: If you already have other networks there, maybe. But that is fine for an initial config.
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> mooser: check the awn settings and docs/guides/homepage you add the widgit to the awn dock
[18:20] <Moonlightning> theadmin: ah, it doesn't exist yet. Okay…
[18:20] <mooser> Its not applets menu in AWN?
[18:20] <wilee-nilee> theadmin, Thanks I was not sure in regards to the questions by shade34321
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> mooser: you are looking at awn right now.. im not... so you tell me..  experiment..
[18:21] <mynickname> if I am port forwarding for a file sharing program, should I use iptables or is there not a security risk?
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> mynickname: do you use a router
[18:21] <zykotick9> bogor: if you are using USB - it's gonna be VERY slow compared to IDE/SATA HDs...
[18:21] <mynickname> yes
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> mynickname: your router is forwarding ports to the pc?
[18:22] <mynickname> yes
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> so what are you going to use iptables for? ;0'
[18:22] <Moonlightning> theadmin: invalid-argument from the last part
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> mynickname: then its fine, the router is doing the firewalling for you
[18:22] <milen8204> ActionParsnip, \oneiric
[18:22] <deadmund> mynickname: You need to configure the router.  Not the PC that is running the service
[18:22] <theadmin> Moonlightning: Oh, huh. Odd. That normally worked for me.
[18:22] <nathanel1> does anyone know what is the username access for the dconf settings of the lock screen (to change the wallpaper)?
[18:23] <Moonlightning> > ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
[18:23] <Moonlightning> this twice ^
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: With nautilus as the active window, move the mouse to the global menu
[18:23] <theadmin> Moonlightning: I'm not into CLI-based network configs though. You might want to install wicd -- it has a nifty CLI-based configuration tool (wicd-curses)
[18:23] <bogor> zykoticks9, Does pen drive connect other way or are you saying pen drives are slow since they connect via usb ?
[18:23] <sam1967> anyone heard about synthetic telepathy ?
[18:23] <theadmin> Moonlightning: But, it doesn't enjoy networkmanager so it'll remove that during the install (if you use APT, that is)
[18:23] <Moonlightning> Okay, thanks…
[18:23] <zykotick9> !tab > bogor
[18:23] <bogor> ok
[18:23] <zykotick9> bogor: USB is a slow interface
[18:23] <DJones> sam1967: Thats not an ubuntu support question
[18:24] <Moonlightning> …argh. Can't install anything because I don't have a connection.
[18:24]  * Moonlightning facehoofs
[18:24] <milen8204> ActionParsnip, and then ? :Д
[18:24] <theadmin> Moonlightning: Oh... Rats, sorry, my bad.
[18:24] <mynickname> I have configured the router to forward a port. When the program is not using this port, is it still open and is there a risk?
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: or you should be able to drag to the left panel
[18:25] <Moonlightning> The menu seems to be working again anyway, though (I rebooted), so… XD
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> mynickname: if no service is listening to the port.. nothings going to happen
[18:25] <theadmin> mynickname: There's no risk in "open" ports, you're misunderstanding the concept.
[18:25] <milen8204> ActionParsnip, ok I will try thanks
[18:26] <bogor> zykotick9, so all pen drives are slow ? BTW tab completion is not working for me. Should i install any package ?
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> bogor:  usb3 pendrives exist now
[18:26] <zykotick9> bogor: i meant in IRC (you got my nic right this time).  Yes all USB drives will be slow compared to IDE/SATA (maybe not with USB3), very slow.
[18:27] <zykotick9> bogor: bash-completion installed?  for bash.
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> i found ubuntu installed to a usb to be useable.. at least
[18:27] <bogor> I will install bash-completion. Thanks
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> better then a live cd
[18:28] <Moonlightning> Argh. As far as I can tell from what I can see of the menu, I'm connected…and yet, I get network-unreachable from anything. >.<
[18:28] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: Heh, so I'm not the only one who experimented with OSes on a USB drive
[18:29] <Moonlightning> …oh, the key I entered is wrong. Derp. 9_6
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> Moonlightning: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[18:29] <Moonlightning> Nope.
[18:30] <Moonlightning> > connect: Network is unreachable
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> Moonlightning: can you ping your routers internal IP?
[18:30] <Moonlightning> Ahhh, I'm not sure what that is…just redid the setup here…uhh, hang on…
[18:31] <bogor> zykotick9: bash-completion is awesome. Thanks
[18:31] <Moonlightning> Here we are.
[18:31] <Moonlightning> And, no, I can't.
[18:31] <Plumblum> could somone help me with phpmyadmin ?
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> Moonlightning: does the interface have an IP via DHCP
[18:31] <Plumblum> the package is installed and connected to the sql server
[18:32] <Plumblum> but i cant axcess it
[18:32] <Moonlightning> …no, it doesn't.
[18:32] <Moonlightning> Invalid key. DERP!!
[18:32] <Moonlightning> sorry *facehoofs at self*
[18:32] <Moonlightning> I'll get this thing eventually!
[18:33] <bogor> The usb pen drive is new. But the PC is old so slow. I have a newer laptop. Will try making a large io like apt-get upgrade after this installation get over to see if there it is more usable.
[18:33] <bogor> Does ubuntu installer have a log ?
[18:33] <wrona> so is maybe that place can ask for some support about ubuntu ?
[18:33] <theadmin> wrona: This is the place.
[18:34] <Moonlightning> !metaquestion | wrona
[18:34] <wrona> i am fresh user Pawel is my name and quite stupid about systems have just two question about
[18:34] <Moonlightning> Questions? Awesome. Let's hear 'em!
[18:35] <theadmin> wrona: Just ask your questions.
[18:37] <Moonlightning> …argh…
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> ask them in the form of a hiaku for bonus points...
[18:38] <wrona> theadmin today is sunday no need to be rough so much or need :)  so. First is can I have cube 3d if I have intel integrated card, and second is whether is possible that when watching movies on web , screen is switching off , and if can be done that during watching movie on the web is not turning off ?
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: that'd be badass
[18:38] <Moonlightning> This keeps rejecting the network key, but it's working fine on this Mac…
[18:38] <theadmin> wrona: You can set it to not turn off at all, that'd be in power management settings. As for the cube thing, I think that doesn't work with recent Ubuntu releases.
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> wrona: the cube is worth forgetting.. it has issues with unity
[18:39] <wrona> ok thank you
[18:39] <mooser> theadmin:  Gnome-MEnu shows "Installed" in Software Center. how do I run it.
[18:39] <satyanash> Hi All! How can I have the "New Login" feature provided by xscreensaver for xdm instead of gdm? I know xscreensaver calls gdmflexiserver, but since I do not want to use gdm, what would I call?
[18:39] <mooser> Dr_Willis:  THis dock looks like apple dock.
[18:39] <theadmin> mooser: You want "gnome-panel", not "gnome-menu"
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> wrona: askubuntu.com had some info on disabling the blanking for movies
[18:39] <Moonlightning> mooser: ooh…how did you do that? :3
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> !dock | Moonlightning
[18:40] <mooser> theadmin: Sorry Gnome-Panel . may mistake .. Gnome-Panel shows installed
[18:40] <Moonlightning> ah, okay, thanks ^^
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: My Ubuntu system runs slowly, Its a new install, Help me please   ;)
[18:40] <wrona> i found ubumatic but is not working with this, any way thank U guys and have a good sunday :)
[18:40] <theadmin> mooser: Okay, great, now log out, click the gear icon, choose "GNOME Fallback" from the list and log in
[18:40] <mooser> ok
[18:41] <satyanash> Does anyone have any idea?
[18:41] <Dr_Willis> should i mention that in 12.0 - the fallbackmode is.. well gone i think.. )
[18:41] <satyanash> I think gdm starts a new xserver when you click New Login, right?
[18:41] <bogor> This may not be dir5ectly ubuntu related. But if usb is slow, what portable storage techology provides near or greater HDD speeds ?
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> wrona: why is that necessary? You can do all that stuff yorself
[18:41] <pranavk> i am kindda new to rss feeds, i want to fetch all the data from the rss feeds but currently i am shown only top 30 entries (sorted by date), but i want all 112 entries. is there any way out i can get those  ?
[18:42] <zykotick9> bogor: esata would be one option
[18:42] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: Nuh-uh, you install the gnome-panel package and you get that. It's not GNOME2, it's GNOME3 which "looks" and acts like gnome2
[18:42] <zykotick9> bogor: it makes me cry that i have to reboot to use esata on my mother board :(.. so i don't really get to use it.
[18:42] <Kircle> I'm updating to 64bit precise from 32. When booting the disc will it give me the option to leave me home folder alone?
[18:43] <bogor> zykotick9: yeah i saw there is a esata port in my laptop. I will research. Thanks.
[18:43] <zykotick9> bogor: i'm sure regular USB is your best bet - but it's slow... live with it ;)  it's handy
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Kircle: you will need to reinstall
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Kircle: its not really an upgrade
[18:44] <mauk> q
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> esata never had time to take off. ;(
[18:44] <mynickname> thanks, guys
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> i never got esata working right.. not it seems obsolete
[18:44] <bogor> zykotick9: i like usb. b'cos it is small and looks cool and comes in sufficent large capacity.
[18:45] <hamdi1984> I upgraded ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04 then 11.10 to 12.04 LTS finally, and it seems like mate is not working properly (especially with compiz) any solutions ?
[18:45] <bogor> zykotick9: just that it performance is not so good. I think situation will improve wth time. Maybe i need to wait.
[18:45] <zykotick9> bogor: ya, nothing wrong with running from usb.  i personally just find it extremely slow for some things, and thus not sufficently fast (perhaps i'm spoiled by ssd os drive ;)
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> hamdi1984: we cant support 'mate' here
[18:46] <mooser> Hello again
[18:46] <mooser> There wasn't any option called "GNOME FALLBACK" I chose GNOME CLASSIC
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> hamdi1984: and it may be time for a clean install..
[18:47] <hamdi1984> thnx Dr_Willis. How can I at least get my classic gnome desktop with ubuntu 12.04 ?
[18:47] <tizbac> zykotick9, still faster than windows :P , i have too an ssd and when i boot a machine with hdds i start freaking out , but the i see windows: "wtf is that , 10 mins to boot ..."
[18:47] <mooser> hamdi install GNOME-PANEL
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> hamdi1984: install gnome-panel and select it at login
[18:47] <mooser> I just did
[18:47] <theadmin> mooser: Well that's the one
[18:47] <mooser> theadmin this is what i just wanted thank you. But i really miss the DASH Serach!
[18:47] <hamdi1984> thnx a lot Dr_Willis. I should try that.
[18:48] <theadmin> mooser: Heh can't have both
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> but fallback may go away  in the next few releases...
[18:48] <zykotick9> tizbac: i personally don't see the big deal about "boot times", but i never reboot 99.957% uptime since may 19
[18:48] <theadmin> mooser: Try installing Launchy. It provides very similar functionality.
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> stick with unity, old gnome is time to move on
[18:48] <mooser> theadmin and can I use Compiz in GNOME CLASSIC?
[18:49] <theadmin> mooser: You should be able to, yes.
[18:49] <mooser> shall i install it again or its already installed? cause i had it in other side
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> 'in other side' ?
[18:50] <mooser> :( No items match "Launchy" in Software Store
[18:51] <theadmin> mooser: It's not in the store, see http://launchy.net (they provide an ubuntu package)
[18:51] <Moonlightning> Well, anyway…
[18:51] <xangua> software center is called now software store¿
[18:52] <theadmin> xangua: Nope, we just have someone calling stuff weird names.
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> next will be ubuntu play app market....

[18:54] <Daekdroom> That first link in !eol does say

[18:55] <Moonlightning> …okay, let's go /way/ back. XD
[18:55] <Moonlightning> I think I have outdated or wrong drivers for my system. How can I find and install the correct ones, preferably using just the CLI? (PowerBook G4 | Ubuntu 12.04)
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> Moonlightning: thr nvidia-current package works for all my nvidia mahcines
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> or see what jockey-text suggests
[18:57] <Moonlightning> Dr_Willis: what was the command again?
[18:57] <i7c> hi, i would like to use disk encryption on my ubuntu server, but i dont like the fact that it unmounts /home when no one is logged in to the system. how can i change that?
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> jockey-text --help     perhaps
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> or sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[19:00] <Moonlightning> Dr_Willis: unavailable-package error
[19:00] <Seednode> Does anyone know how to fix that annoying white flash when switching workspaces with Desktop Cube?
[19:00] <Dr_Willis> Moonlightning: what ubuntu release?
[19:00] <xangua> Seednode: are you using unity¿
[19:00] <Moonlightning> 12.04-powerpc?
[19:01] <Seednode> No, I'm not.
[19:01] <Seednode> Xubuntu.
[19:01] <Seednode> Does Unity not have that issue?
[19:01] <bekks> xubuntu runs on powerpc, too.
[19:01] <Umo111> Anyone know how run ubuntu from USB with a GTX 550 ti?
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> Moonlightning: may not be a powerpc package..
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> Umo111: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> Umo111: you can do a full install to usb, same as you would a real hard drive
[19:02] <Seednode> xangua: Does that flash not happen in Unity?
[19:02] <Guest22821> Hi, I'm trying to repair a system that lost power during an upgrade; I've booted form a live stick and chrooted to the hard drive but am seeing problems because things can't access /dev or /proc
[19:02] <Moonlightning> Dr_Willis: >.<
[19:02] <Umo111> OK il try that thanks
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> Moonlightning: i gave up on powerpc.. ;) my imac was just a ssh terminal for ages
[19:03] <Moonlightning> Yeah…I mostly use the tty's anyway…
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> Moonlightning: even those were messee up on m y imac
[19:04] <astropirate> Hello all. I have connected a second monitor but it is not recieving any signal. How can I diagnose this?
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> astropirate: video chipset? what drivers?
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> astropirate: it  was plugged in when you booted up?
[19:04] <astropirate> gtx 670 nvidia propitory driver that comes iwth ubuntu
[19:04] <astropirate> no it wasnt
[19:05] <astropirate> well
[19:05] <astropirate> it was pluged in
[19:05] <FloodBot1> astropirate: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> astropirate: seen that confuse the nvidia cards on some machines
[19:05] <astropirate> Ohh I should reboot then?
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> plug in, power on, reboot, try nvidia-settings tool
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> just to eliminate any potential issues
[19:06] <astropirate> Ahh the nvidia-setting did it
[19:06] <astropirate> i wasn't aware I had to do that. thanks Dr_Willis
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> some times it dosent. ;)
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> had issues with older cards needing things in at power up. or the card turnrd off the port
[19:07] <astropirate> Dr_Willis, hmm although, my mouse cursor does "stick" on the launch panel on the second montir which makes mouse transition between monitors un-smoth
[19:07] <jason__> Hi I have a new install of ubuntu 12.04 and tried the unity desktop found in buggy, thunderbird crashed on start firefox slow and greyed out, gone over to using gnome classic
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> dual monitors? theres a sticky edge feature
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> move the mouse fast...
[19:08] <astropirate> So its a feature not a bug? :p
[19:08] <mooser> Dr_Willis: I found something like Ubuntu Dash Search for GNOME called "bolt" > https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/330/bolt/ . "But it tells me You do not appear to have an up to date version of GNOME3. You won't be able to install extensions from here. See the about page for more information."
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> astropirate:  yes. to make window moveing easier
[19:08] <astropirate> sounds good. thanks A LOT Dr_Willis
[19:09] <trism> mooser: extensions.gnome.org is for gnome-shell not gnome-panel
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> mooser: i use unity. not gnome-shell

[19:13] <Nintendoo64> I'm not sure how much RAM I have. I have a 32bit installation and system monitor says I currently have 3.9GB. I've booted into 64bit ubuntu via liveCD and system monitor stills says I have 3.9GB. Is this reading accurate?
[19:15] <deadmund> Nintendoo64: you don't think you have 3.9 / 4Gb ?

[19:20] <sebastorama> is there a way to resize a partition "on the fly" on linux?
[19:20] <ender__> hola

[19:22] <sebastorama> deadmund, hum.. on OS X, disk utility can do this... It may dismount the partition and do it's magick.. bcoz the system freezes for a while while doin'g it :D
[19:22] <Moonlightning> What's up with the /modes/ on this network? 6_9
[19:22] <astropirate> My sounds keeps repeating for 1-2 seconds like a broken CD. It plays sounds fine for a minut or so but it keeps doing this. How can I fix this?
[19:22] <sebastorama> deadmund, but thanks anyway

[19:26] <BluesKaj> !man unity
[19:26] <mooser> Where do I run installed programs or how do i do it in terminal
[19:26] <BluesKaj> hmm
[19:27] <Moonlightning> mooser: generally you can just type the name of the program
[19:27] <deadmund> mooser: sudo apt-get install <package-name>
[19:27] <BluesKaj> !unity
[19:27] <deadmund> mooser: what are you trying to install?
[19:27] <Moonlightning> …wait.
[19:27] <Moonlightning> Are we talking about /getting/ or /running/ programs?
[19:27] <deadmund> Oh!  I misread :P
[19:28] <Vlan> hello, someone experiencing low read/write rates w/ SSD drives even w/ AHCI enabled?
[19:28] <deadmund> mooser run them by name in the term
[19:28] <mooser> deadmund I am a Ubuntu Unity user. I am now installed gnome-panel cause i hated the unity launcher bar on left. But i really missing the unity DAsh serach
[19:29] <histo> mooser: pres your windows key
[19:29] <mooser> deamund like: run programname ?
[19:29] <deadmund> mooser: alt + f2    ?
[19:29] <histo> mooser: did you setup X with just gnome-panel launching?
[19:29] <mooser> what is X?
[19:30] <BluesKaj> !X
[19:30] <mooser> i just installed gnome-panel from Ubuntu unity Software Center
[19:30] <mooser> and logged in
[19:30] <histo> mooser: well is the unity panel still on the screen?
[19:31] <mooser> histo,  no. I am now in gnome classic. launcher panel is on the top left. drop down menu. just like how i wanted.
[19:31] <mooser> I still did not understand what is X
[19:31] <histo> mooser: okay well alt+f2 should get you a run dialog
[19:31] <WeThePeople> does anybody have youtube-dl installed
[19:31] <Vlan> someone with an SSD drive could do a "sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda1" for me?
[19:31] <mooser> Is it kind of Dash Search for Gnome Classic?
[19:31] <bekks> WeThePeople: Why?
[19:32] <bekks> Vlan: And you are expecting which result in particular?
[19:32] <ThinkT510> mooser: X is the graphical server
[19:32] <Moonlightning> FINALLY!
[19:32] <histo> mooser: no alt+f2 is a run dialog you can type a programs name in the there with tab completion
[19:32] <mooser> histo is it possible to use Dash Search in gnome?
[19:32] <Moonlightning> Got connected. /Sheesh./
[19:32] <WeThePeople> bekks, if i try to download the best video quailti using youtube-dl --max-quality (url) it comes back and says i need atleast one url..??
[19:33] <deadmund> mooser: There are other more modular solutions like gnome-do  that you might wanna look at too
[19:33] <Vlan> bekks: i'm only getting half the speed declared by the manufactor, i'd like to see if i'm the only one with this problem
[19:33] <histo> mooser: is there a particular part of the dash you want? there are many apps that will accomplish certain parts of it.
[19:34] <bekks> Vlan: And getting our output will not help you at all on solving your issue :)
[19:34] <bekks> Vlan: I have a SSD, and I am perfectly happy with it.
[19:35] <Moonlightning> I'm getting a package-not-available error from trying to install nvidia-current on a powerpc system, but the website has a page for the package…
[19:35] <Vlan> bekks: ok but if you say that you're running at 100 mb/s probably there's nothing i can do about it as well...
[19:35] <Darkenvy> What are the choices for display managers? Gnome, Unity, KDE, ????, what else?
[19:35] <mooser> can alt+f2 also do search the programs while i am typing? or I have to write the complete name to run a program?
[19:35] <Troy^> Darkenvy: LXCE, XFCE
[19:35] <Darkenvy> is that everything?
[19:35] <ThinkT510> Darkenvy: those are desktop environments, not display managers
[19:35] <histo> mooser: yes it will search you can hit tab to complete the name
[19:35] <Troy^> Darkenvy: LXDE sorry,
[19:35] <morteza> hi
[19:35] <bekks> Vlan: I am not running at SATA HDD speed :) I am meeting the specifications of the manufacturer.
[19:36] <morteza> I installed ubuntu in my netbook
[19:36] <Darkenvy> thats what I said desktop environments :P
[19:36] <Rallias> What are my options for volume controls on tint2?
[19:36] <morteza> but when I start it , my monitor will be turn off
[19:36] <histo> mooser: also take a look at this http://askubuntu.com/questions/122437/how-to-access-applications-menu-in-ubuntu-unity-desktop  to get a gnome applications menu in unity
[19:36] <Troy^> Darkenvy: you could pretty much use whatever display manger you wanted or environment
[19:36] <morteza> what is this? crash? what?
[19:36] <Darkenvy> one last question: alternatives to nautilus? I am unable to drag and drop
[19:37] <histo> Darkenvy: thunar is a good one
[19:37] <ProtekNickz> Hi all got a sticky situation, i was going through my GPG keys and deleted the launchpad. one's for ubuntu 12.04, any one know how i re add it, or where it's located if still on the computer ?
[19:37] <histo> Darkenvy: there is also roxbox pcmanfm a ton of file managers
[19:37] <ThinkT510> Darkenvy: thunar, pcmanfm
[19:37] <mooser> well why do I need Gnome Do when there is already a tool in Alt+F2
[19:37] <mooser> God I loved Linux!
[19:38] <Darkenvy> thanks guys!
[19:38] <Rallias> ProtekNickz, apt-cache search ubuntu keys
[19:38] <mooser> Guys sorry about my dump questions. This is my 3th day on Linux and I just loved it...
[19:38] <histo> mooser: you could also type a app name in a terminal and use tab to complete the name
[19:38] <Darkenvy> Man I love Linux!
[19:38] <ProtekNickz> k
[19:38] <deadmund> mooser: gnome-do also looks for files and can index a lot more information like contents of emails, recent pidgin conversations, web pages, and similar
[19:38] <Troy^> lol linux is great minus games
[19:38] <deadmund> mooser: alt+f2 is ONLY programs
[19:38] <Dice-Man> hello all people
[19:39] <mooser> deadmund,  now it makes sense.. downloaded... let me try
[19:39] <Dice-Man> how to load a keyboard layout from the commande line ?
[19:39] <deadmund> mooser: have fun.
[19:39] <Moonlightning> I'm getting a package-not-available error from trying to install nvidia-current on a powerpc system, but the website has a page for the package…
[19:39] <BenBE> Hy, anyone around who could package a new version of php-geshi for Ubuntu?
[19:39] <islandmonkey> Troy^: The minus games part will all change when Steam arrives
[19:39] <Troy^> islandmonkey: there is really not going to be that many games though
[19:40] <mobile> help
[19:40] <BenBE> read man ...
[19:40] <islandmonkey> mobile: Help on what?
[19:40] <islandmonkey> Please do not ask to ask
[19:40] <mobile> sorry i was trying to invoke my irc client help
[19:41] <islandmonkey> Oh sorry :)
[19:41] <WeThePeople> lol, i have to type -i to ignore an url error to get it to work
[19:41] <islandmonkey> Troy^: Well we'll have to see
[19:42] <Rallias> Troy^ There's supposed to be a few good games for release.. not many, but the ones that do are good.
[19:45] <Troy^> islandmonkey and Rallias: well LFD2 seems to be the first port. Well i own that game and it ain't any different from the first one and quite boring
[19:46] <Snow-Man> has anyone got bonding & VLANs working, from a cold boot, on 12.04?
[19:46] <test_> hello
[19:47] <test_> Linux question: how can it be that: 1.ping works 2. arping does not work.
[19:47] <BenBE> test_: You're not root.
[19:48] <deadmund> test_: arping only works local network
[19:48] <BenBE> test_: Alternative: You card can't do promiscious.
[19:48] <bogor> I am trying to setup my ubuntu pc1 as a wireless hostspot. pc1 has wireless network card and wired ethernet connection. It is connected to internet via wired connection.
[19:48] <deadmund> bogor: that is not a question
[19:49] <bogor> i clicked on use hotspot, but it keeps disappearing.
[19:49] <gmachine_24> My install of Ubuntu 11.04 won't boot; end up with the initram error, etc. From a "Live" CD, how can I repair/restore the Grub files?
[19:49] <Rallias> Troy^, If rumors are to believed, HL3 is a part of the steam release on linux aswell
[19:50] <bogor> gmachine_24: 11.04 is old , try 12.04
[19:50] <Troy^> Rallias: well that will be awesome then. HL2 episodes were pretty decent
[19:50] <theghost> can you set up a service on ubuntu where one computer takes control of all of them like the master the domain
[19:50] <mooser> what is the short key to run gnome-do ?
[19:50] <islandmonkey> gmachine_24: Better hurry up, support for 11.04 is running out thick and fast
[19:50] <gmachine_24> I know I can try 12.04; that is not the point. I need to fix the installation.
[19:51] <islandmonkey> gmachine_24: Why can't you just grab another CD (or wipe the USB on) and place 12.04 on it?
[19:51] <TheMiner> theghost you can setup a cluster of machines and manage them from one spot
[19:52] <theghost> what would i need to set up a cluster
[19:52] <TheMiner> If you only have a few machines I would recommend something like webmin
[19:52] <Rallias> theghost, what type of cluster?
[19:52] <TheMiner> There are some pretty straight forward cluster distro's that you could use
[19:53] <nick_cannon> Hey guys, How can I tell what my video card is?
[19:53] <TheMiner> The cluster would allow you to pool resources
[19:53] <savio> lspci nick_cannon
[19:53] <theghost> a type of cluster so i can manage multiple machines from one point
[19:53] <devilz> how can i find drivers for 14e4:4365 in zip format ?
[19:53] <lwizardl> if I have a deb installer how can i autohave it also grab any required Dependencies ?
[19:53] <TheMiner> what are the different machines going to be doing theghost?
[19:53] <gmachine_24> Because I don't want to.
[19:53] <Rallias> lwizardl, "dpkg -i $packagename && apt-get -f install"
[19:54] <islandmonkey> gmachine_24: It is the easiest way to do it
[19:54] <lwizardl> Rallias, thanks
[19:54] <mytoz_> question: I'm upgrading Ubuntu and now it seems X (or my WM, the default one) doesn't want to render any windows etc. only my cursor is visible. can I somehow reload X without killing all the running programs, and especially the upgrade process?
[19:54] <mytoz_> or is there something else I can do?
[19:55] <deadmund> mytoz_: ctrl + alt + F2,  then log in and kill X or Xorg and it should restart itself
[19:55] <mytoz_> deadmund: the upgrade process as well? won't that break the current installations etc?
[19:55] <TheMiner> ctrl+alt+backspace
[19:55] <histo> mytoz_: you can hit ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a tty and ctrl+alt+F7 should bring you back to X.  In the tty you can see if the upgrade process is still working with top
[19:55] <theghost> basiclly i want one machine as like the master and managing lets say 10 pcs and i can manage them 10 pcs from the master pc
[19:55] <TheMiner> or cntrl-alt-f7
[19:55] <deadmund> mytoz_: What I described will not effect the upgrade process or any packages
[19:55] <histo> theghost: manage what?
[19:56] <histo> theghost: upgrades?
[19:56] <TheMiner> managing what?
[19:56] <mytoz_> deadmund: ah cool
[19:56] <TheMiner> are they going to be running webservers?
[19:56] <deadmund> mytoz_: sure
[19:56] <TheMiner> ftp servers?
[19:56] <theghost> yes
[19:56] <mustafa> how to open firefox on local machine bu using ssh?
[19:56] <TheMiner> then just use Webmin
[19:56] <bekks> theghost: "yes" to what?
[19:56] <bekks> webmin? NO.
[19:56] <bekks> DONT use it.
[19:56] <mustafa> how to open firefox on local machine by* using ssh?
[19:57] <bekks> Use ssh and administer your servers properly. Webmin introduces various security wholes.
[19:57] <ech0dish> whats wrong with webmin?
[19:57] <TheMiner> He can run upgrades, start/restart servers etc all with Webmins cute GUI interface
[19:57] <bekks> ech0dish: Wrong question. "Whats not wrong with webmin?"
[19:57] <Rallias> bekks if properly configured, nothing's wrong with webmin
[19:57] <bekks> Webmin is the worst "GUI", from a security point of view.
[19:57] <UnknownFork> Hello, I have had Xubuntu 12.04 installed on my Toshiba Mini NB505-N508BL for over 3 months. The touchpad recently stopped working on it. It has stopped working before, but has started working again after a reboot. Whenever I reboot it now it still doesn't work. Help?
[19:57] <TheMiner> I would agree that someone with experience should just be using ssh
[19:57] <histo> mustafa: ssh -X to the host then firefox
[19:57] <bekks> Rallias: Almost everything is wrong with webmin, because it is a secuity whole by design.
[19:58] <TheMiner> UnknownFork sounds like a hardware issue
[19:58] <histo> mustafa: unless you want to open firefox locally
[19:58] <Rallias> bekks that's why I said "if configured properly"
[19:58] <Rallias> as in, only listen on localhost.
[19:58] <UnknownFork> TheMiner, maybe a driver issue
[19:58] <TheMiner> You can lock Webmin down pretty tight
[19:58] <ech0dish> webmin helped me get started up when i was a teenager.. good for learning but once you've learned i agree it's more proper to use ssh for everything.
[19:58] <mytoz_> deadmund: seems X didn't really start again after I softkilled it
[19:58] <mustafa> histo I tried but I get "No protocol specified Error: cannot open display: :0"
[19:59] <UnknownFork> I will run an operating system via live cd to see if it is a hardware issue
[19:59] <histo> mustafa: are you ssh'd from a windows box to a linux box?
[19:59] <TheMiner> holy hell I am old,...Webmin was a LONG way from being around when I was a teenager
[19:59] <Rallias> Webmin by default is just as insecure as any web administration panel.
[19:59] <histo> Do not recomend webmin in here it's not supported
[19:59] <TheMiner> Hell OpenSSH is unsecure until you get it setup properly
[19:59] <deadmund> mytoz_: startx  from the cli
[19:59] <mytoz_> deadmund: ah okay
[20:00] <bekks> theghost: Not nearly insecure as webmin by default.
[20:00] <histo> !webmin | Rallias bekks
[20:00] <Darkenvy> #gnome
[20:00] <bekks> histo: I know. I am not suggesting using it.
[20:00] <Rallias> bekks oh, and what's one that's more secure than webmin?
[20:00] <TheMiner> ubottu, hence the reason you download the source and compile it yourself
[20:00] <duckxx> can anyone point me to a place on how to specify ip ranges.. i dont understand the /24 /15 endings on ips
[20:00] <theghost> theminer: thanks
[20:00] <bekks> Rallias: ssh.
[20:00] <mustafa> histo No. linux to linux
[20:00] <duckxx> i want to ban all of china
[20:01] <duckxx> from going to my server
[20:01] <Rallias> By default, just as insecure.
[20:01] <histo> mustafa: do you have X running on the machine you are using to ssh to the host on?
[20:01] <Rallias> Find a user with sudo access, you've compromised the system.
[20:01] <duckxx> hell i want to ban the entire eastern countries
[20:01] <TheMiner> duckxx good luck
[20:01] <duckxx> lol
[20:01] <bekks> Rallias: Nope. BY default, webmin doesnt use SSL, while ssh is using a secured connection.
[20:01] <histo> mustafa: to forward X applications via ssh you need to have a local X instance running then you can ssh -X host   once in you can launch any X based applicaiton on the host and it will forward it to the local machine.
[20:02] <Rallias> bekks how have YOU installed webmin in a way that doesn't use SSL? The deb package they provide always enables it.
[20:02] <foul_owl> Hello. I am having a problem with OpenGL. I have an Nvidia GeForce 6600 video card that does not seem to have OpenGL acceleration enabled. Running glxgears gives me a black windowed gtk window. This problem occurred with the default nouveau drivers for 12.04, and again when I uninstalled nouveau and installed the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia driver ppa (304.37) Trying to run other OpenGL apps (such as openarena) produces a black screen
[20:02] <bekks> Rallias: The last time I've used webmin is 15y ago. Actually, I am wondering why it isnt prosecuted to use it nowadays.
[20:03] <Rallias> bekks because it isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
[20:03] <duckxx> bekks, so wat do u use now ?
[20:03] <mustafa> histo I have X on running machine
[20:03] <bekks> Rallias: Actually it is. Just take a look at the security fixes.
[20:03] <bekks> duckxx: ssh.
[20:03] <histo> mustafa: are you trying to launch firefox ont eh host machine you are connected to and have it open on the local machine?  Is that the goal here?
[20:04] <duckxx> i cant wrap my head around the /8 /24 /25 wildcard ip ranges.. anyone care to explain
[20:04] <sam101> can use ssh to manage ur website of the server
[20:04] <duckxx> ?
[20:04] <mustafa> histo exactly
[20:04] <bekks> sam101: Sure.
[20:04] <TheMiner> yeah
[20:04] <Rallias> duckspeaker, /8: x.*.*.*, /16: x.x.*.*, /24: x.x.x.*
[20:04] <gunarm> when I just went to Disk Utility and clicked Check/Repair array on my RAID volume, it started this long repair process.  Is there any way to tell what the errors are that it's fixing?  I just set the array up like yesterday
[20:04] <TheMiner> via SSH you can do anything on the remote machine that you could do on your local machine
[20:04] <stephenmac7> Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to have all incoming network traffic go through a firewall on an ubuntu server?
[20:04] <stephenmac7> (For a home network, not just the server.)
[20:05] <histo> mustafa: when you connect to that machine make sure you use the -X option with ssh. so ssh -X whatever.ip.address    then it will allow forwarding of X applications
[20:05] <foul_owl> stephenmac7: look into iptables
[20:05] <Rallias> duckspeaker, just think of IP addresses as base-256 and netblocks as a chunk of it in base 2
[20:05] <histo> stephenmac7: yes
[20:05] <mustafa> I tried but not working
[20:05] <TheMiner> stephenmac you just need to have your router forward everything through your machine
[20:05] <TheMiner> iptables get complicated pretty quick though
[20:05] <mustafa> histo  I tried but not working
[20:05] <stephenmac7> TheMiner: How do you do that? (I have linksys)
[20:05] <histo> mustafa: please pastebin the commands you are trying along with the connection string like ssh -X someserver
[20:06] <mustafa> histo ssh -X server
[20:06] <openyost> Hi all!  I'm hoping someone can help out with this fun I'm having.  Earlier this week, my comp was reporting 100% usage of my hard drive with the home folder being the culprit.  When I du -h in my home folder the sum of the folders does not equal the total sum of files (http://pastebin.com/QfS5hDhJ)  I ran fsck at boot and it fixed it. But now it has happened again with the exact same issue.  The file usage should be about 20% at
[20:06] <openyost>  most.  Any ideas on how to fix this?  (if it helps to know, this is my mythtv box)
[20:06] <mustafa> histo ssh -X a.machine.at.server
[20:07] <mustafa> histo firefox www.google.com
[20:07] <mustafa> that is all
[20:08] <gunarm> openyost, i dont know what your issue is but also check out the GUI utility baobab to graph disk usage, and sometimes hard/soft links can confuse disk measurements
[20:08] <mytoz_> interesting. when I run startx, it just repeatedly prints out "no protocol specified"
[20:09] <openyost> gunarm I can't even get x to start right now because of the full disk
[20:09] <histo> !paste | mustafa
[20:09] <histo> mustafa: and are you logged into the Desktop on the local machine?
[20:09] <mustafa> histo yes
[20:09] <histo> mustafa: you can't do this through  tty as I said earlier X needs to be running
[20:10] <histo> mustafa: Does the other machine have xauth installed?
[20:10] <foul_owl> openyost: Do you have backups?
[20:10] <foul_owl> openyost: I don't know off the top of my head what could cause this, but in case of catastrophic hard drive failure, be absolutely sure to have full backups
[20:11] <mustafa> histo how to sure that?
[20:11] <histo> mustafa: dpkg -l | grep xauth
[20:11] <openyost> foul_owl not of recent changes.  Do you think it's software or hardware.  It's such a weird hardware problem
[20:11] <foul_owl> openyost: Are you getting any SMART errors?
[20:12] <foul_owl> openyost: (I have also heard that SMART isn't that great of a metric as hard drive mfgs try and downplay SMART errors to prevent premptive RMAs)
[20:12] <openyost> foul_owl when I ran disk utility, it had a grey icon, saying it wasn't communicating
[20:12] <mustafa> histo installed
[20:12] <Rallias> openyost, is the power cable to the hard drive fully inserted?
[20:13] <foul_owl> http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/monitoring-hard-disks-smart
[20:13] <openyost> Rallias, it's internal and yes :/
[20:13] <histo> mustafa: okay then it should work
[20:13] <UnknownFork> Hello, I have had Xubuntu 12.04 installed on my Toshiba Mini NB505-N508BL for over 3 months. The touchpad recently stopped working on it. It has stopped working before, but has started working again after a reboot. Whenever I reboot it now it still doesn't work. I have just booted Xubuntu 12.04 from the CD and the touchpad works perfectly. Help?
[20:13] <mustafa> histo but not
[20:14] <Rallias> openyost, have you tried rebooting?
[20:14] <mustafa> histo how to check  X running properly on the machine I ssh'd?
[20:14] <foul_owl> It is true that links can cause disk space usage confusion, but filesystem errors make me cringe
[20:14] <foul_owl> Thus, the backup recommendation
[20:14] <openyost> Rallias, it worked the first time but not the last 5 times.
[20:15] <histo> mustafa: X doesn't need to be running on the machine you are ssh'd into.  make sure the /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the remote machine has "X11Forwarding  yes"
[20:15] <openyost> and i'm doing fsck each boot
[20:15] <Rallias> openyost At this point, get a ubuntu livecd burnt and use it to back up precious's
[20:15] <histo> mustafa: if not change it from no to yes and restart sshd
[20:15] <openyost> Rallias, I think i might try to clonezilla it to a virtual machine and fsck it there.  :)
[20:16] <jony> somebody pls tell me how to remove symlink
[20:16] <Rallias> openyost, how big a hard disk?
[20:16] <mustafa> histo exactly it is  X11Forwarding yes
[20:16] <bekks> openyost: clonezilla will not convert anything to a vm.
[20:16] <histo> mustafa: also make sure you are using -X not -x
[20:16] <jony> i forgot to save another friend advice
[20:16] <mustafa> histo I am aware of it
[20:16] <openyost> bekks, I know  but i can liveiso clonezilla to a VM
[20:17] <Rallias> openyost if its 1 tb, it has a 31% (roughly) chance of failing to copy byte by byte.
[20:17] <openyost> Rallias, its 80
[20:17] <bekks> openyost: No.
[20:17] <openyost> bekks, Yes.  I've done it several times
[20:17] <W4sp> jony: ln -f <>
[20:17] <bekks> openyost: clonezilla isnt even capable of converting anything to a vm.
[20:17] <foul_owl> Rallias: wut
[20:17] <bekks> clonezilla can create images of a partition - thats all.
[20:17] <histo> mustafa: again can you please pastebin the output of the terminal starting from your ssh line
[20:18] <Rallias> foul_owl, modern HDD's have a 10^14 chance of unrecoverable unreadable sector.
[20:18] <Moonlightning> Why isn't /etc/group- world-readable?
[20:18] <Rallias> At 1 TB, that chance over copying the entire hard disk, is roughly 69.8% chance of completing successfully
[20:18] <bekks> Moonlightning: Because that isnt needed.
[20:18] <Jiremi> hello
[20:18] <jabes> vga port not working in ubuntu but will in windows. Why?
[20:18] <Moonlightning> …oh…
[20:18] <foul_owl> Rallias: Do you have a source? I believe you, but I would like more information
[20:19] <Rallias> foul_owl, give me a minnute..
[20:19] <foul_owl> np
[20:19] <histo> jabes: what type of video card?
[20:19] <foul_owl> thanks!
[20:19] <Moonlightning> It's the only-allow-what's-needed security paradigm, huh?
[20:19] <jabes> histo nvidea
[20:19] <W4sp> !pm | jony
[20:20] <histo> so you get no display booting?
[20:20] <openyost> foul_owl & Rallias thanks, I'm gonna try some recovery fun.
[20:20] <histo> jabes: so you get no display booting?
[20:20] <foul_owl> np
[20:20] <mustafa> histo http://paste.ubuntu.com/1155954/
[20:21] <jabes> histo when i boot to windows it comes up, but grub loader doesn't show, so for linux there nothing
[20:21] <jony> pls help me someone: I want to moove playonlinux default folder path to my previously mounted NTFS partition
[20:22] <foul_owl> Rallias: Eh who needs data integrity anyway? Random bit flipping just adds character to your data.
[20:22] <bekks> jabes: Grub is hidden by default, you have to press esc or shift its menu.
[20:22] <histo> mustafa: don't know haven't seen that error before
[20:22] <bekks> *to display
[20:22] <histo> mustafa: perhaps someone else can help
[20:22] <jabes> bekks, not if you dual boot :)
[20:22] <mustafa> histo thank you for your afford
[20:22] <bekks> jony: You will lose all permissions and totally break that folder contens.
[20:22] <jabes> bekks, my vga port isn't working
[20:22] <gunarm> since raid6 is bad for constant, small writes.  for torrenting, would it better to download stuff to a drive not part of the array and then rsync them over when they finish?
[20:22] <bekks> *contents.
[20:23] <miranda> night all
[20:23] <jony> ok, but I want to moove it since I don't have much free space on linux partition to install new games
[20:23] <ech0dish> l8
[20:23] <openyost> HA!  Found it  .xsession-errors is 64GB large
[20:23] <foul_owl>  openyost: Nice!
[20:23] <bekks> jony: That doesnt change the fact of breaking it, when moving it onto NTFS.
[20:23] <Rallias> foul_owl, http://www.zdnet.com/blog/storage/why-raid-6-stops-working-in-2019/805 under the bold "The crux of the problem"
[20:23] <bekks> jony: No matter what you want. :)
[20:24] <foul_owl>  openyost: Good old runaway log file
[20:24] <openyost> foul_owl I have no idea how fsck fixed it the first time
[20:24] <jony> any ssugesion then?
[20:24] <jony> suggestion
[20:24] <foul_owl> Rallias: oh dear :(
[20:24] <Rallias> I cited the wrong number...
[20:24] <mooser> Something interesting happen on reboot this time! It show "Lubuntu" logo When I chose Ubuntu on Dual Boot screen where I choose Windows Or Ubuntu... is this because I installet lxde after I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
[20:24] <foul_owl>  openyost: Yeah no idea on that!
[20:25] <Rallias> its 2 tb have a 38% of failed images.
[20:25] <openyost> And i found the error, someone has been trying to hack into my VNC
[20:25] <foul_owl>  openyost: You can always set up logrotate :P
[20:25] <openyost> like Dbaggs :)
[20:25] <jabes> mooser, that sounds logical
[20:25] <mooser> didn't really get it now. Is my Ubuntu runs on lxde instead of unity?
[20:25] <Rallias> openyost, how's that the problem? Huge log files?
[20:25] <Moonlightning> I'm getting a package-unavailable from nvidia-current on powerpc, but the website has a page for it…
[20:26] <bekks> jony: Dont move it onto NTFS, thats the only suggestion.
[20:26] <openyost> Rallias that is all the log file even is, rejection from vino
[20:26] <jabes> mooser, you can choice with desktop you want to run on. lxde or unity
[20:26] <foul_owl> Rallias: The solution is clearly 4 disk raid 1
[20:26] <Moonlightning> And yes, I did just do an `apt-get update`
[20:26] <Rallias> foul_owl, is raid 1 stripe or mirror?
[20:26] <foul_owl> The only problem is finding a decent raid controller
[20:26] <foul_owl> mirror
[20:26] <Rallias> ah mmk
[20:26] <mooser> jabes isn't lxde more ligher and faster then unity?
[20:26] <foul_owl> so you have four copies of your data :)
[20:26] <Rallias> I liken to do 3-mirror raid 10
[20:26] <jabes> mooser, yep
[20:27] <jony> ty
[20:27] <foul_owl> Great read speed on a raid 1 afaik, but again, I don't have a decent (non-fakeraid) controller yet
[20:27] <mooser> but how could i run unity stuff on lxde? like unity launcher bar?
[20:27] <UnknownFork> Hello, I have had Xubuntu 12.04 installed on my Toshiba Mini NB505-N508BL for over 3 months. The touchpad recently stopped working on it. It has stopped working before, but has started working again after a reboot. Whenever I reboot it now it still doesn't work. I have just booted Xubuntu 12.04 from the CD and the touchpad works perfectly. Help?
[20:27] <jabes> mooser, can't
[20:27] <Rallias> foul_owl, I have to work with raid-0 daily :/
[20:28] <schneida> Plz help: Is there a way to prevent the at command from stripping all quotes, so that echo 'command "my string"' | at now doesn't turn out as 'command my string'?
[20:28] <Guest41027> nick luisnux
[20:28] <mooser> hmm i am now logged in to "gnome-panel". so u say it will not show unity launcher bar if i login to Ubuntu 3d?
[20:28] <foul_owl> production raid 0?
[20:28] <Rallias> foul_owl, in an openvz environment to boot
[20:28] <jabes> UnknownFork, your configuration for your touch pad has been disabled most likely
[20:28] <Moonlightning> schneida: it works like that for me…
[20:28] <Rallias> We have offsite backups.
[20:28] <mooser> or it will automaticaly turn back to unity and not boot in lxde?
[20:28] <foul_owl> so the host is running raid 0...?
[20:29] <Rallias> foul_owl, yes.
[20:29] <foul_owl> http://tinyurl.com/lz89pd
[20:29] <Rallias> It has 2 raid 0's set up, one's for creating backups.
[20:29] <schneida> Moonlightning: did you try it by using echo 'command "my string"' | cat or with the real at command?
[20:29] <foul_owl> Interesting....
[20:29] <UnknownFork> jabes, How do I enable it?
[20:29] <ubifreak> guys guys, so I got ubuntu to install on my system, and it unmounted my hdd, what do?
[20:30] <ubifreak> (It's not installing on my hdd)
[20:30] <foul_owl> I guess that is kind of like a raid 10 then :P
[20:30] <Rallias> With an excruciatingly boring script my boss wrote.
[20:30] <ubifreak> How do I mount it back?
[20:30] <Rallias> foul_owl, technically, no.
[20:30] <ubifreak> 10.04
[20:30] <Moonlightning> < echo 'something "something else"' | cat
[20:30] <Moonlightning> > something "something else"
[20:30] <Rallias> foul_owl, its like an onsite backup
[20:30] <foul_owl> yeah
[20:30] <foul_owl> the :P was implying that haha
[20:30] <foul_owl> What filesystem?
[20:30] <jabes> what is the configuration editor for ubuntu? it use to come default on 10.10?
[20:30] <ubifreak> I tried to mount from terminal, from nautilus but I can't.
[20:30] <Rallias> foul_owl, ext3
[20:31] <schneida> Moonlightning: that works for me too, but using at, it strips all the " which makes the string appear as multiple parameters to my command program
[20:31] <jabes> UnknownFork, you will need a configuration editor
[20:31] <UnknownFork> k
[20:31] <foul_owl> Do you know if its possible to run OpenVZ on a filesystem that doesn't need to fsk?
[20:31] <foul_owl> *fsck
[20:32] <schneida> googling for my problem wasn't helpful at all, because "at" is not really a good searchquery at all
[20:32] <Rallias> foul_owl, meh, boss likes default configs.
[20:32] <ubifreak> Can you see this, or do I have to /NickServer register?
[20:32] <mooser> will Compiz work in Gnome-Panel? lxde?
[20:32] <W4sp> ubifreak : You can be seen.
[20:32] <Moonlightning> schneida: can't you just pass the command to `at` rather than piping it?
[20:32] <ubifreak> W4sp always.
[20:32] <bekks> mooser: No. No.
[20:33] <ubifreak> So any one can help? Thanks in advance.
[20:33] <mooser> it will not?
[20:33] <morteza> my grub can load with text mod , but can't load with default mode
[20:33] <xangua> mooser: bekks it does, yes
[20:33] <morteza> my grub can load with text mode , but can't load with default mode , how to fix it?
[20:33] <W4sp> schneida: Whatevery you try to achieve it's not an 'at' issue. See sh/ksh/bash or whatever you have.
[20:33] <mooser> it does or not?
[20:33] <mooser> confused
[20:34] <g00053> i get this error when i try to install et , can anyone point me in the right direction...
[20:34] <g00053> ./setup.sh: 191: ./setup.sh: /home/g00053/.setup26647: not found
[20:34] <ubifreak> No one can answer my basic mount ntfs question?
[20:34] <TrevMyster> Can anyone tell me what the best Note Taking Application is in Ubuntu (Like OneNote)
[20:35] <bekks> ubifreak: You cant install Ubuntu onto NTFS.
[20:35] <schneida> but it only happens with the at command, piping is the only option because it should eventually work from inside a non blocking php script
[20:35] <ubifreak> bekks, I just want to mount it, thanks.
[20:35] <mooser> xangua how do i run compiz in gnome-panel?
[20:35] <ubifreak> I installed ubi to ext4, but it unmounted my ntfs
[20:35] <bekks> ubifreak: you dont need it to be mounted for installing ubuntu onto another partition. :)
[20:35] <xangua> mooser: select fallback mode with efects in the login screen
[20:35] <ubifreak> I want to retrieve a file that I need to mail right now
[20:36] <bekks> ubifreak: So you used Wubi to install Ubuntu?
[20:36] <ubifreak> I use live usb
[20:36] <ubifreak> to install it on a usb.
[20:36] <W4sp> ubifreak: With 'guys' you mask 50% of potential assistance. :-) Maybe that's what it is.
[20:37] <ubifreak> yeah I'm sorry W4sp..
[20:37] <mooser> mooser there was no fallback mode. I had to choose GNOME CLASSIC
[20:37] <Rallias> foul_owl, the problem with it is that whatever filesystem is getting used has to support the 2.6.18 kernel, alot of stuff is fishy with that one.
[20:37] <W4sp> ubifreak: No problem.
[20:38] <devilz> i deleted the partition in which my ubuntu was installed from windows. now when i boot my windows isn't loading but i am getting a black window with grub rescue can anyone help me ?
[20:38] <ubifreak> So, my problem is as following, I am trying to install ubuntu on a usb (ext4) from a live usb (fat32) and it for some reason unmounted my main ntfs, can any one help me, gender doesn't matter?
[20:38] <Rallias> devilz do you have a windows disk?
[20:39] <devilz> u mean a recovery or backup disk?
[20:39] <W4sp> schneida: Please, that can't be a big issue. Can you tell the entire command line so I can test it. Also, to be more specific... What shell do you use?
[20:39] <Rallias> devilz recovery
[20:39] <Rallias> I'm not sure about backup
[20:39] <devilz> nopr :(
[20:39] <sambagirl> is there any effort for fingerprint reading with ubuntu? specifically
[20:39] <bjv> ubifreak, i dont see how unmounting your main ntfs impacts ability to boot from usb to install to another usb.. or are you attempting to overwrite the install drive?
[20:39] <sambagirl> UPEK TCS3 TouchStrip™ strip sensor with
[20:39] <sambagirl> CMOS active capacitive pixel-sensing
[20:39] <sambagirl> technology
[20:39] <bjv> How can i troubleshoot Nautilus?   after restarting compiz (compiz --replace ccp) i find i am unable to click to focus folders or files in nautilus?  click works in firefox/gnome-terminal, i tried running nautilus --check and also killall nautilus then starting a new one.  Same behavior.  nothing in /var/crash... options?
[20:39] <FloodBot1> sambagirl: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:40] <devilz> nope*
[20:40] <Rallias> devilz get the grub boot disk and install it. Only thing I can think of.
[20:40] <ubifreak> bjv, I just want to retrieve a .txt file from main hdd (ntfs)
[20:40] <ubifreak> main hdd is not used in any way.. it just unmounted it.
[20:40] <devilz> grub boot disk?? whats that?
[20:40] <fabio> ciao a tutti
[20:40] <Rallias> devilz livecd used for installing grub
[20:40] <schneida> W4sp: i'm using bash with ssh
[20:41] <Rallias> can't think the exact name on the spot.
[20:41] <schneida> the point is to execute a long running command with a string parameter followed by multiple numbers from inside php
[20:41] <ubifreak> #ubuntu-italia fabio
[20:41] <W4sp> !it | fabio
[20:41] <devilz> Rallias: u mean livecd for ubuntu?
[20:41] <ubifreak> yeah ubuntu-it..
[20:41] <Rallias> devilz it would work..
[20:42] <Rallias> devilz in the ubuntu livecd, make a partition for a bootloader (ext2, 256mb should be enough)
[20:43] <krazyyyy> Hello
[20:44] <MandrakeRoot> Hi
[20:45] <ubifreak> Anyone, guys? It's not a hard question, I just can't figure out due to lack of using linux.
[20:45] <W4sp> schneida: I see. To let me know the command line woudln't help then. I was wondering about your single and double quotes though ... There is #bash on FreeNode too. Maybe they can spot something.
[20:45] <TrevMyster> Can someone help me with gnome-shell? The batter icon is like dissapered. But I can click the empty space and it will tell me my battery information
[20:45] <Kryptron> ubifreak: http://linuxconfig.org/How_to_mount_partition_with_ntfs_file_system_and_read_write_access
[20:45] <devilz> Rallias: last time when i was installing ubuntu i didn;t create any partition for bootloader. i think it was using the same one which window uses.does that mean the my windows and data can be lost?
[20:45] <W4sp> ubifreak: Did you try to mount your NTFS after boot from CD? ?You should be able to cp the .txt to your USB (ext4).
[20:45] <Seven_Six_Two> Does anyone know how to stream with pulseaudio now that padevchooser isn't available? None of the pulse tools seem to have the option.
[20:45] <morfd> hi
[20:45] <ubifreak> thanks guys.. krypton post is kind of relevant to my problem
[20:45] <W4sp> Seven_Six_Two: I have never tried but is 'vlc' not able to do that?
[20:45] <Seven_Six_Two> W4sp, possibly, but that isn't what I want to do. I am using MPD for music. VLC can't do the same thing
[20:46] <ubifreak> Thanks and sorry again
[20:46] <retnan> hello world guys! am trying to setup virtual host with apache to fetch website from /home/username but gets this error /home/.htaccess pcfg_openfile (13) permision denied
[20:46] <Kryptron> ubifreak: all hail mighty google ;)

[20:47] <arpit> hey
[20:47] <pranavk> does anybody know a good add on for firefox that let me queue the items i want to download and then download one by one
[20:47] <rubatharisan> Hi, it appears like my ubuntu installation won't recon my grapichs card
[20:47] <mooser> xangua, this is what I see in login screen. http://i45.tinypic.com/359ikvc.jpg There is no GNOME FALLBACK option in list... Why its missing?
[20:47] <ubifreak> Still not allowing me but I will not waste #ubuntu's time.. Thanks again
[20:48] <trism> mooser: Gnome Classic is the one with compiz, the (no effects) one is without
[20:49] <W4sp> Seven_Six_Two: I see. I have no expertise i multi-media. Only advice would be to see what exception is thrown by the clients connecting to MPD.
[20:51] <W4sp> retnan: Why's it /home and not /home/$USER...?
[20:52] <deadmund> I'm using vlc (via cli) to download a stream to a file.  However, when I run the vlc command it opens a gui window which doesn't close.  I wanna script the command and run it many times in a row, how can I keep the gui window from opening?
[20:53] <retnan> W4sp: yeah /home/$USER but the error says /home/.htaccess i wander why too
[20:53] <MoneyDust> deadmund  vlc is a media player, it's not a terminal command
[20:53] <rubatharisan> Hi, how do i remove folders at the right side Nautilus?
[20:53] <W4sp> pranavk: I'm a CLI frak and curl ususally does the things.
[20:53] <Kryptron> cvlc
[20:53] <johana> hello
[20:53] <rubatharisan> left side*
[20:53] <johana> i've just installed ubuntu studio
[20:53] <deadmund> MoneyDust: You can use it on the command line like this: http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo/Receive_and_Save_a_Stream
[20:54] <W4sp> retnan: How do you start it and what does /etc/passwd have to say about apache or _apache?
[20:54] <retnan> W4sp: since i got the permission error, i added www-data to the group $USER belongs to and the error still persist
[20:54] <johana> and I think i need some help
[20:54] <mooser> trism, then how do i run compiz in gnome-panel classic?
[20:55] <retnan> W4sp: apache username on ubuntu is www-data and i added it to $USER's group
[20:55] <W4sp> retnan: Did you compile apached? I wonder if it is chrooted? maybe it can't read its config files.
[20:55] <Kryptron> deadmund: try cvlc
[20:56] <retnan> W4sp: i installed from repository
[20:56] <xangua> mooser: there are gnome classic & gnome classic (no effects) ; wich do you think uses compiz¿
[20:56] <deadmund> Kryptron: is this what I think it is?
[20:56] <W4sp> retnan: OK, then it's not chrooted, I suppose. Sorry.
[20:56] <fidel> hi - is there a software-way to define screen brightness on a desktop running ubuntu?
[20:56] <PioneerAxon> I need a working PPA for compiz, which has flickering on desktop cube fixed. Where can I find that?
[20:57] <psilo23> Hi everyone, i am trying to install Despotify on a 64bit machine running 12.04, but i keep getting the error: libtool: link: `aes.lo' is not a valid libtool object
[20:57] <fidel> it works flawless using the brightness buttons on my laptops - but i cant find a method to do the same on my main desktop pc
[20:57] <deadmund> Kryptron: seems to work but the command never returns :/
[20:57] <psilo23> i tried to search everywhere but i couldnt find anything, does anyone know what this error might mean ?
[20:58] <deadmund> Kryptron: I think it will work though...
[20:59] <W4sp> fidel: Yes, there is. What hardware do you have?
[20:59] <fidel> W4sp: 2 samsung led displays and a passive nv card using the origial nv driver
[21:00] <fidel> nv 9500 card
[21:00] <W4sp> fidel: It's something like this... echo 100 | tee /sys/class/backlight/samsung/brightness or similar.
[21:01] <Jiremi> i just reinstalled windows on a dual boot machine and lost grub, is there a way to boot into my Ubuntu installation without reinstalling grub from the Ubuntu disk?
[21:01] <psilo23> nobody has a clue ?
[21:01] <W4sp> fidel You should check where it is located.
[21:01] <Kryptron> deadmund: Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface
[21:01] <deadmund> Kryptron: yeah... I know
[21:01] <fidel> W4sp: ok thanks for the pointer ....gonna continue my search
[21:02] <W4sp> fidel: just 'find /sys -name brightness may lead to results.
[21:02] <ClientAlive> Hi. I'm at a loss to understand why something is happening on my system. I started with ubuntu server 12.04, installed lxde on it then decided I would rather have gnome.  When I do a sudo apt-get remove for any one of those extra packages it want's to remove gnome and gnome shell as well - leaving the system broken. Is there no
[21:02] <ClientAlive> way to simply get a full gnome 3 on my ubuntu without all the extra suff?
[21:04] <savio> ClientAlive,
[21:04] <savio> i think use apt-get dselect method
[21:04] <ClientAlive> edit: first I removed lxde (I think I got it all) then I installed gnome
[21:04] <W4sp> ClientAlive: That's probably caused because it has the user status that want's to tell empathy if you're online. :-(
[21:04] <TJ-> Jiremi: There is. You can add Ubuntu to the Window's boot menu
[21:05] <HudderStorm_> hi

[21:05] <ssta_> ClientAlive: look at the "equivs" too (but be careful)
[21:05] <ssta_> s/too/tool/
[21:05] <fidel> W4sp: you expect some kind of config or executeable with that name?
[21:06] <W4sp> fidel: That's right. I will tell you in a minute. I need to swap drives to check as I normally run OpenBSD. Will you stay online?
[21:06] <fidel> if so - would that be installed by default or part of a specific package - search is still running as the search sinde /sys gave nothing i am searching the entire FS now
[21:06] <mooser> some one help me to run Compiz in Gnome Classic?
[21:06] <fidel> W4sp: yes - will stay online
[21:06] <auronandace> !rootirc | nMc

[21:09] <TJ-> Jiremi: see this for a guide http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Linux
[21:09] <ClientAlive> savio: W4sp: thks for the tips. So if I'm understanding correctly it seems there are two methods by which I may reach my goal...  (1) from the bare 12.04 server, use some deselect flag with apt-get (first I've heard of that flag). or (2) find a way to remove the (whatever it is) that wants to tell empathy when I'm online first - then go about removing the little extras I don't want. Is that on target?
[21:09] <Jiremi> thanks
[21:10] <W4sp> fidel: Back ....
[21:10] <fidel> wb
[21:10] <Kid_Matthew> iI download and install Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS on Windows Vista. When i booted it up it loads a splash screen for a good minute, Then it will say Gave up waiting for Root Device, /dev/disk/by-uuid/acaca27aaca23eab Doesn't Exist Dropping into shell.
[21:10] <ClientAlive> ssta: what are equivs?
[21:10] <W4sp> fidel: My command is echo 200 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/panasonic/brightness and I can adjust brigtness on a scale from 0 to 254.
[21:10] <ssta_> ClientAlive: it's a tool that lets you create metapackages that pretend that dependencies you don't want intalled are actually installed
[21:11] <auronandace> Kid_Matthew: any reason you are using wubi?
[21:11] <Kid_Matthew> idk i was just following the tutorial ubuntu had on their site...
[21:11] <fidel> W4sp: there is no /sys/class/samsung here.... but i'll check if i can find sonething via websearch for this folrder-structure
[21:11] <W4sp> fidel: If you cd into /sys/class/backlight you should see your manufacturer.
[21:11] <fidel> i assume you run a panasonic display right?
[21:11] <ClientAlive> ssta: I see
[21:12] <auronandace> Kid_Matthew: wubi is awful, better to use a vm or dual-boot
[21:12] <fidel> W4sp: /sys/class/backlight is empty
[21:12] <W4sp> fidel: Mine is Panasonic. That's why I asked you what manufacturer you have. But if you cd  into /sys/class/backlight it should show up a link. Can you see it?
[21:12] <Kid_Matthew> auronandace,  so wwhat do i do then?
[21:13] <fidel> W4sp: no backlight is completly empty
[21:13] <W4sp> fidel: No worries, let me check here.
[21:13] <ClientAlive> ok, well, I'll look into it more sometime soon. (tired of messing w/ it today). Thx guys.
[21:13] <auronandace> !install | Kid_Matthew
[21:13] <fidel> W4sp: are you using a manual compiled kernel?
[21:14] <W4sp> fidel: No, jsut from the shelves. Do you have /sys/devices?
[21:14] <Kid_Matthew> ok auronandace  how do i unstall what wubi installed
[21:15] <auronandace> Kid_Matthew: i assume its in the add/remove programs thingy
[21:15] <Kid_Matthew> ok
[21:15] <Kid_Matthew> thx
[21:15] <Godel> Has anyone know about the Ubuntu 12.04 with built-in laptop webcams? Google doesn't find a solution but many reports of the problem.
[21:15] <fidel> W4sp: yes i have that one. it contains the following folders: breakpoint, cpu, LNXSYSTW:00, pci:0000:00, pci0000:3f, platform, pnp0, rapidio, software, system, tracepoint and virtual
[21:16] <auronandace> Kid_Matthew: try installing ubuntu in a vm first, a vm is a brilliant practice ground
[21:16] <TJ-> Godel: Depends on the camera and driver support mostly. What specific problem are you having?
[21:16] <Kid_Matthew> i installed it into oracle just fine
[21:16] <W4sp> fidel: After you cd into /dev/devices run 'find . -name brightness'
[21:17] <UnknownFork> Is xfconf included in xubuntu?
[21:17] <fidel> W4sp: no hits
[21:17] <mooser> W4sp,  do u have any idea about running compiz in gnome classic?
[21:17] <Godel> TJ-, Cheese says it cannot find any video device. I used to use the camera on this computer before upgrading to 12.04
[21:17] <Kryptron> deadmund: "cvlc <options> <stream> &"
[21:19] <TJ-> Godel: first you need to find the camera's vendor:product ID... if it is a USB camera you can check what USB devices are connected using "lsusb"
[21:20] <Godel> TJ-, Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. OV2640 Webcam
[21:20] <TJ-> Godel: arghh... omnivision!
[21:20] <mooser> TJ-,  Do u have any idea about using compiz in gnome classic
[21:22] <W4sp> fidel: The directory content I have is actual_drightness, brightness, max_brightness, bl_power, and type. Also, there's power/ (directory).
[21:22] <TJ-> mooser: None.
[21:22] <jimila> +l
[21:23] <TJ-> Godel: My checks show that the ID of that device is *not* in the kernel IDs for Precise's v3.2 kernel
[21:23] <fidel> W4sp: ok. thanks for your nice support btw. i guess my way is now to continue searching ..maybe why i dont have anything brightness related inside /sys in the first place
[21:23] <W4sp> fidel: If you can find that you can run the command I gave you. It will work. The question however is now why are those files not available on yous sustem. :-(
[21:23] <Su_Girl> TJ-,  thx anyway
[21:23] <fidel> yep hehe
[21:23] <TJ-> Godel: It *is* in the ID map for v3.5 kernel (from mainline) matching the uvcvideo driver, so it's a UVC camera
[21:23] <pranavk> my proxy server refuses connection after a particular time, so to solve it i make ssh tunnel which is not broken even after thr time limit ends. i just restarted my network interface and connected again. after waiting sometime i found out that the terminal session using ssh tunnel reconnected itself but new connections to make tunnel in another window is rejected. this is making me think if its possible to reconnect even after rebooting the pc. is it possible
[21:24] <W4sp> fidel: I suppose The reason why you can't adjust it is because the dirs are not there.
[21:24] <fidel> thats the main question right now - guess i'll continue digging tomorrow as i need some sleep now. again: thanks for the great help you offered.
[21:24] <Su_Girl> Would there be a relation about missing effects in GNOME CLASSIC with my lxde install?
[21:25] <TJ-> Godel: You could try installing one of the packaged mainline recent kernels. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
[21:25] <W4sp> fidel: Very welcome.
[21:25] <Su_Girl> I had Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and then installed lxde on it.
[21:25] <Su_Girl> is this why gnome-panel (gnome classic) is missing visual effects?
[21:26] <k1l> gnome-classic is just a light version of the old gnome2. thats why there is no effects (iirc)
[21:26] <david23400> Please someone show me a laptop which doesnt HEAT much!!!! as cold as possible Thanks
[21:27] <Su_Girl> k1l,  then what is GNOME CLASSıC (WITHOUT EFFECTS)
[21:28] <k1l> Su_Girl: its a 2d fallback for those without 3d support who cant run the gnome-shell (needs 3d)
[21:28] <auronandace> david23400: thats pretty difficult given the nature of laptops and also offtopic in this channel, try ##hardware
[21:28] <pranavk> david23400. most laptop heat up with linux as compared to wondows
[21:28] <foul_owl> Hello. I am having a problem with OpenGL. I have an Nvidia GeForce 6600 video card that does not seem to have OpenGL acceleration enabled. Running glxgears gives me a black windowed gtk window. This problem occurred with the default nouveau drivers for 12.04, and again when I uninstalled nouveau and installed the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia driver ppa (304.37) Trying to run other OpenGL apps (such as openarena) produces a black screen
[21:28] <pranavk> david23400. though i have heard that lenovo laptop are good for linux and dont heat up...i m not sure
[21:29] <david23400> thx
[21:29] <Su_Girl> k1l,  All i wanted to do is using GNOME's wonderfull Launcher menu stands left-top dropdown and i still like the compiz wave effects...
[21:29] <Godel> TJ-, Is this going to mess up one thousand other things? :) The webcam is the only problem I am having now, and it used to work just fine before the upgrade. It looks like I am replacing the Kernel which scares me.
[21:30] <k1l> Su_Girl: gnome2 is dead. so you need to look out for smth new. there are some things that come close to gnome2 but they wont be gnome2
[21:30] <Devilz> i want to completely remove ubuntu 12.04 which is installed along with windows on my system. Can anyone tell me how to do that without harming windows files??
[21:30] <TJ-> Godel: Well I've been running the v3.5 kernel since it was released and I've found Precise is snappier and better behaviour
[21:30] <W4sp> Is there a CLI for XMMP?
[21:30] <Godel> TJ-, okay. Thank you. I will do that.
[21:31] <TJ-> Godel: and it doesn't replace your current kernel, it just selects the new one as the default. You can always choose to boot the previous version(s) from the boot menu at start-up
[21:32] <Shogoot> quick question, does the iptable block or allow connections by default?  out of the box sort of speak?
[21:33] <Su_Girl> k1l, well cant I use Gnomes LAuncher BAr in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
[21:34] <k1l> Su_Girl: the old gnome2 isnt compatible with the new gnome3 basis. so more gnome2 as in gnome-classic wont be there.
[21:34] <MoneyDust> Su_Girl  install gnome-panel
[21:35] <Su_Girl> MoneyDust,  this is the gnome-panel
[21:35] <k1l> !notunity | Su_Girl
[21:35] <Su_Girl> I alreay installed the gnome-panel
[21:35] <W4sp> Su_Girl: You can install the gnome-panel.
[21:36] <k1l> most users wanting the gnome2 feeling i know of went to xfce (xubuntu) Su_Girl. maybe you want to take a look at that
[21:37] <Su_Girl> k1l, MoneyDust , W4sp  I do have gnome-panel installed. This is how I logged in Gnome-Classic . Here > http://i45.tinypic.com/359ikvc.jpg
[21:38] <Su_Girl> why cant i use gnome3?
[21:39] <W4sp> Su_Girl: Chances are that your hardware (graphic card) is considered as not suitable. You can use Ubuntu 2D that will give you the launcher.
[21:39] <deadmund> I have hundreds of mpeg video files.  How can I string them all together?
[21:39] <Godel> TJ-, Thanks for your help! :) Have a good Sunday afternoon.
[21:40] <MoneyDust> deadmund  find them all and put in one folder?
[21:40] <W4sp> Su_Girl: Would you like to try it and see if it suits you? It is liked by many as it has the launcher (to the left) and uses meta key <number> for quick launch shortcuts.
[21:41] <W4sp> Su_Girl: As Ubuntu 2D is offered I would try that one.
[21:41] <threex5> yo!   Of course I can put them in the same folder (they already are).  I need to combine them into one long video file.
[21:42] <MoneyDust> threex5  create your own then, it's open source
[21:42] <Ethans> hi
[21:42] <threex5> I just want good old gnome2, clearlooks, tango icons, some shadows and no visual effects
[21:42] <threex5> true
[21:42] <W4sp> deadmund: HAve a look at 'mediabuntu' and see what tools they offer. The progs can be used on your installation, too.
[21:43] <threex5> if I roll my own, MoneyDust, what do you think I should use as a starting point? None of the distros use gnome 2 anymore
[21:43] <nsaquatics> afternoon, quick question. Ubuntu 10.04LTS. Every time the system has to access the disk for more than just a few meg's, the OS bog's down to an almst frozen state. I've watched the CPU, I have 8 cores and maybe one or will max out to 100% but sometimes they are all mostly idle.
[21:43] <W4sp> threex5: There's Linux from Scratch. But why don't you just install the DE of your choice?
[21:44] <MoneyDust> threex5  if you're skilled enough, better ask in #gnome
[21:44] <nsaquatics> I have an Intel Raid card in it, and have both the OS and the Data drive Mirrored.
[21:44] <Su_Girl> W4sp, I can run Ubuntu3D
[21:44] <nsaquatics> SATA6 Drives and Card.
[21:44] <W4sp> Su_Girl: Hey, that's great. Somewhat I got you wrong then.
[21:45] <foul_owl> Hello. I am having a problem with OpenGL. I have an Nvidia GeForce 6600 video card that does not seem to have OpenGL acceleration enabled. Running glxgears gives me a black windowed gtk window. This problem occurred with the default nouveau drivers for 12.04, and again when I uninstalled nouveau and installed the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia driver ppa (304.37) Trying to run other OpenGL apps (such as openarena) produces a black screen
[21:45] <threex5> i doubt i'm skilled enough. I've been using ubuntu on and off for like 6 years now and I was still banging my head against the wall last night trying to get rid of unity, or just to get the top panel to autohide, basic stuff
[21:46] <MoneyDust> threex5  gnome classic and xfce are very similar to gnome2
[21:46] <threex5> MoneyDust, maybe I should give xubuntu another shot then
[21:46] <threex5> what about xubuntu v lubuntu? any opinions?
[21:46] <crimsonmane> xfce is not similar to gnome2
[21:46] <Nudista_madrid> hola
[21:47] <W4sp> threex5: If you have ever installed any package on your existing Ubuntu then it will be the same experience. Just select the different and newly installed desktop environgment during login.
[21:47] <W4sp> threex5: Why don't you install Xfce or LXDE and see for yourself?
[21:48] <W4sp> !es | Nudista_madrid
[21:49] <MoneyDust> threex5  try both xubuntu and lubuntu, then choose the one you prefer
[21:50] <threex5> MoneyDust, I ran both live discs but I thought I'd ask because sometimes it takes using a distro for a while before you realize its strengths and limitations
[21:51] <W4sp> It is an overall misconception that the choice of Unity, Xfce or LXDE leads to a specific distro.
[21:51] <MoneyDust> threex5  no system is perfect
[21:52]  * W4sp leans back and watches.
[21:52] <deadmund> I have many video files that I can use cat to combine.  They are numbered (e.g. 1, 2, 10, 25, etc).   I'm trying out Mint Cinnamon right now, though, and it's pretty solid
[21:57] <Debolaz> Mint would be pretty nice if it didn't lack full disk encryption.
[21:57] <kekko> ciao
[21:57] <kekko> !list
[22:06] <W4sp> What is a good CLI for XMMP?
[22:08] <soupeee> I'd like to transfer files over wifi from my desktop PC to a netbook, what pkg(s) do I need?
[22:08] <nsaquatics> Nobody has an Idea?
[22:09] <kekko> ciao
[22:09] <kekko> !list
[22:09] <W4sp> soupeee: What OS are involved?
[22:09] <soupeee> pc is linux(gentoo) netbook is lubuntu 12.04
[22:10] <sparkybluefox> bam!
[22:11] <W4sp> soupeee: I would evaluate rsync, that you probably have already installed...?
[22:11] <Apel> Hello
[22:12] <goth> hi
[22:12] <goth> the battery on my mouse is running out, how do I use my keyboard as mouse?
[22:16] <W4sp> goth: You probably use Unity or GNOME3. You can use Ctrl+Alt+t to open a terminal. From then onwards everything is CLI.
[22:17] <W4sp> goth: That said, you cannot use a keyboard as a mouse.
[22:17] <W4sp> !ask | Apel
[22:18] <W4sp> Apel: You can be seen.
[22:18] <cc11rocks> Update : http://pastebin.com/XnZsF9TU
[22:18] <Apel> ?
[22:20] <threex5> Is Cinnamon the linux mint default, or mate?
[22:20] <threex5> which one is the 'official'?
[22:21] <gunarm> since raid6 is bad for constant, small writes.  for torrenting, would it better to download stuff to a drive not part of the array and then rsync them over when they finish?

[22:23] <xangua> !mint | threex5
[22:23] <W4sp> gunarm: I would worry about that one. What is you maximum transfer rate and what latency can you get from your
[22:23] <W4sp> ISP.
[22:26] <[S]oldato> hi
[22:26] <WeThePeople> hi
[22:27] <WeThePeople> how do i find a .flv file.. i cant get it to ls the path
[22:27] <goth> W4sp: but with the cli I cannot navigate the browser
[22:27] <ghano> kaim2: thank you
[22:28] <MoneyDust> WeThePeople  try locate flv or *.flv
[22:28] <trism> WeThePeople: if you mean one streaming from flash, the file is in /tmp but immediately unlinked, although you can usually find it with: lsof +L1
[22:29] <Jotek> Hello everybody, I have problem
[22:29] <omido> Hey . I have an Acer Travelmate C110 with 900.0 mhz CPU and 512 mb memory. what edition of ubuntu is suitable to install on such hardware?
[22:29] <v1c3> hello, i´ve got a problem with the well known rings lua-script for conky. conky works well but there are no rings..
[22:29] <W4sp> goth: Almost every application can be used with a keyboard. If it gets too complicated just buy new batteries.
[22:30] <W4sp> omido: To run the OS Lubuntu and Xubuntu are fine. Ubuntu may work as well but don't expect wonders. Lubuntu has a smaller footprint than Xubuntu.
[22:30] <MoneyDust> omido  lubuntu is very light, also try !mini
[22:31] <omido> Thank you so much guys
[22:31] <goth> is there no packaGE TO USE KEYB. AS MOUSE?
[22:31] <goth> oopscaps
[22:31] <v1c3> hello, i´ve got a problem with the well known rings lua-script for conky. conky works well but there are no rings.. do i need any packages except cairo to draw the rings? has the script to be set as executable? any other ideas?

[22:40] <openyost> Jotek from a quick look, it appears that Tibia is a windows program.  So i think the extension will be .exe
[22:41] <Jotek> openyost: you have to choose between windows version and the linux one, ive choosen that compatible with linux
[22:41] <gunarm> W4sp, did you mean to say you wouldn't worry about it?  i'm sure my transfer rate is less than my hard drive write speed
[22:41] <openyost> Oh ok, I have to make an account to find the linux file
[22:42] <W4sp> gunarm: Yes, there yoiu have it. See my response.
[22:42] <Jotek> openyost: not really, go into "account" section and you will have there an option to download it without registering
[22:43] <W4sp> raphael: How do you know it's hacked?
[22:43] <Treaver> Anyone know how to change the login shell of Ubuntu 12.04? Anyone help with getting suspend to work (Hibernate)

[22:48] <Kaim5> Hi! I'm Kaim5, #ubuntu's channel bot. The funny stuff you see from me, like (n-iCe@SN), are people on other nets. I provide a channel link between this channel on 8 nets.
[22:48] <Kaim5> To see who else is on the channel, type  !cnlist in the channel.
[22:48] <n-iCe> !cnlist
[22:48] <Mjbmr> Nekura: yes.
[22:48] <openyost> Jotek!  I got it to launch on my comp.  It's the Tibia file  not the StartTibia.sh file
[22:49] <bazhang> n-iCe, /msg ubottu
[22:49] <Nekura> hmm, I've got no idea then, sorry. Was more or less just wondering. If it were xen it'd be complicated
[22:49] <Jotek> openyost: is there the same way to run it?
[22:49] <Nekura> openyost are you setting up a tibia server?
[22:49] <Nekura> openyost may I pm you?
[22:49] <gunarm> no way... tibia? the mmorpg? on linux?
[22:49] <openyost> Jotek I just double clicked the Tibia file and it ran
[22:49] <iamsuperuser> Hello, how do I enable sound on root?
[22:50] <openyost> Nekura, sure  I'm about to go pick up dinner tho
[22:50] <Mjbmr> Are you making fun of me? why you asked that then?
[22:50] <Jotek> openyost: when im doubleclicking it, then it gives me back a window to choose the best program to run it with
[22:50] <openyost> lame  try changing the permissions under the file's properties
[22:51] <dj_segfault> Hi. I'm trying to start my 10.04 (Lucid) computer in text mode.  I found http://fooninja.net/2010/07/29/text-boot-in-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04-disabling-gdm/ which says to put  'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="text"' in /etc/default/grub, but that file doesn't exist on my system, and when I created it and rebooted, it didn't change anything.  Is that file somewhere else?
[22:51] <Mjbmr> Nekura: I used this instruction https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation
[22:51] <openyost> I'll be back in a few minutes, pm me if you have issues laters
[22:51] <iamsuperuser> Nevermind, How do I install drivers? *root*
[22:51] <W4sp> Treaver: Normally yu use chsh. You can edit /etc/passwd, ensure shell is on the root partition and statically linked. See if you work with /etc/shells
[22:52] <Troy^> is there any good alternative to putty?
[22:52] <Scell> dj_segfault try /boot/grub/menu.lst
[22:52] <W4sp> Treaver: Make sure you have another user still able to login prior any manual work.
[22:52] <bazhang> Scell, that does not exist any longer
[22:52] <Fluid_Mantis> Hi, I'm a bit stuck with something. Temporarily I'm using a small partition for Ubuntu, which is around 5GB on a solid state drive. I will increase this soon when I migrate some Windows data.
[22:52] <iamsuperuser> So I switched to root account and it has classical gnome theme.. Is this caused by my graphics card not being recognised?
[22:52] <Scell> I know, hes on ubuntu 10.04
[22:52] <dj_segfault> Scell: That line should work in there?  Thanks.
[22:52] <bazhang> !grub2 | scell dj_segfault
[22:53] <Fluid_Mantis> However, I am baffled as to why I am constantly being told I am running out of disk space.
[22:53] <Fluid_Mantis> I installed from the live CD and I've installed a few programs.
[22:53] <WeThePeople> how do i find a .flv i downloaded with youtube-dl
[22:53] <Fluid_Mantis> This would hardly fill up a 5GB~ partition.
[22:53] <Scell> Ah, my bad thought it was there for 10.04
[22:54] <gunarm> does a mdadm resync always take hours even if there is no problem?  it doesnt just resync errors is what I asking?  does the length of time indicate the number of problems?
[22:54] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: Try running "df -h" which will give a clear picture of just how much space there is left
[22:55] <W4sp> Troy^: Why not just ssh...?
[22:55] <Fluid_Mantis> Dj_FlyBy: Thanks, I'll give it a try.
[22:55] <iamsuperuser> http://i.imgur.com/qiq6m.png Any ideas on how to fix?
[22:55] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: Then to find out what's taking up all the space, there's a program called FileLight that will let you drill down and show a pie chart of what directories are the biggest hogs
[22:55] <lauratika> im trying to install ubuntu 12.04 along side a windows 7 laptop via usb stick, i created in windows 7 a partiton 50 gb to install ubuntu, now when i go to gparted to tell ubuntu to install on the unused space i just created i wont aloud me to edit the tab. any idead why this?
[22:56] <iamsuperuser> *the appeareance is my problem http://i.imgur.com/qiq6m.png
[22:56] <iamsuperuser> I tried changing theme, nothing changes, just the windows.
[22:57] <Fluid_Mantis> Dj_FlyBy: /dev/sda5 is 5.5GB and apparently 5.2GB is used, somehow. I'll delete a couple of videos I have which are just a couple of hundred megabytes, then I'll try out that program. Cheers.
[22:58] <iamsuperuser> please help?

[23:00] <neyder_> hi, i'm having troubles with turtleart, stand alone of the sugar learning enviroment. My system is in spanish, but it aunchs in english,
[23:00] <neyder_> how can I launch in spanish?
[23:01] <Argat> sudo hat
[23:04] <WeThePeople> i am having trouble finding the .flv i downloaded with youtube-dl, and i did check the dir. youtube-dl
[23:05] <Fluid_Mantis> Dj_FlyBy: This program seems great for handling my data and I'll be sure to use it, except it is listing every partition EXCEPT the one Ubuntu is installed on. As well as my SSD I also have connected an internal hard drive (1.5TB) and an external hard drive (2GB). The SSD it is installed on is 128GB, most of which is taken up by the Windows 7 partition (which I will be reduced in size soon) and the 5GB Ubuntu partitio
[23:05] <Fluid_Mantis> n.
[23:06] <Fluid_Mantis> So what would I type in as the directory for my primary system partition?
[23:06] <neyder_> WeThePeople, its on the same directory of you launch the comman
[23:06] <Fluid_Mantis> 2TB I meant for the external :P
[23:06] <neyder_> in the terminal write pwd
[23:07] <WeThePeople> neyder_, i dont understand that
[23:07] <iamsuperuser> http://i.imgur.com/qiq6m.png gnome menu.. How do I make it black instead of grey?
[23:07] <neyder_> WeThePeople, tell me how do you use youtube-dl
[23:08] <crimsonmane> neyder_: you forgot to use sudo
[23:08]  * neyder_ I'm spanish speaker, so give me a chance when my english is very poor
[23:08] <WeThePeople> neyder_, i type 'sudo youtube-dl --max-quality -i (url)' and it downloads the vid
[23:08] <crimsonmane> "sudo tell me" :) lol
[23:08] <neyder_> crimsonmane, sudo isn't necessary in this case
[23:08] <crimsonmane> make me a sandwhich
[23:08] <WeThePeople> i use sudo anyway
[23:08] <crimsonmane> sudo make me a sandwhich
[23:08] <neyder_> crimsonmane, i got! LoL
[23:09] <crimsonmane> lol
[23:09] <bazhang> crimsonmane, thats enough
[23:09] <bjv> I cannot open files by clicking on them, does nautilus have a touch feature that is not working?
[23:09] <bjv> I can click to open files until i use my touchscreen, then suddenly i cannot open with either mouse or screen
[23:09] <neyder_> WeThePeople, so then you can't delete the files without sudo again, sudo is for administrative taks
[23:10] <bjv> i notice that mouse to left opens the launcher, until i use my touchscreen.  then mousing to left does not open it, only 4-finger touch gesture
[23:10] <bjv> are there settings for this stuff? i;d like to be able to use nautilus ... and not have to log out, back in every time i use my touchscreen
[23:10] <Fluid_Mantis> Anybody got any clues for my issue? Thanks.
[23:10] <neyder_> WeThePeople, befo you type and "Enter"  'sudo youtube-dl --max-quality -i (url)' please type pwd
[23:10] <neyder_> 'pwd'
[23:10] <peterrus> bjv, have a look at geis
[23:10] <peterrus> and what it does
[23:10] <WeThePeople> yes i have to type my pw
[23:11] <peterrus> !tell geis
[23:11] <neyder_> no your password
[23:11] <neyder_> the command name is: pwd
[23:11] <peterrus> how to tell ?
[23:11] <neyder_> that stands for present workin directory
[23:11] <neyder_> LoL
[23:12] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: Sorry I was elsewhere.  You can pass where to start to FileLight
[23:13] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: So if you're talking about your root partition, it would be "filelight /"

[23:13] <WeThePeople> hi
[23:13] <bjv> peterrus: i dont have GEIS installed, but it looks like 'ginn' is on 12.04?
[23:13] <WeThePeople> where do i find those modes?
[23:14] <Darkenvy> I enabled the propriatery drivers but I cant get opengl to work
[23:14] <wmarone> has anyone else run into a problem with the tightvncserver package in 12.04?
[23:14] <nandersson> Hi, got a kernel-update and suddenly vboxguest.ko was nowhere to be found in /lib/modules/$(uname -r). My virtual guest is back to static 800x600 or whatever the standard resolution is. What to do? Revert to older kernel? Can I force dkms to compile? Wait for upgrade?
[23:14] <Darkenvy> I also dont have an official 'openGL' test
[23:15] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: Thanks. It's scanning the files now. Why would the proc folder be reported to have a total size of 141TB though?
[23:15] <neyder_> WeThePeople, as i can see, better user a firefox addon 'easy youtube downloader'
[23:15] <Fluid_Mantis> I've been reading about the different directories.
[23:15] <W4sp> WeThePeople: That's usually /help mode ;-)
[23:16] <Fluid_Mantis> proc is information about processes, right? I don't see why it would be 141TB nevertheless.
[23:16] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: proc is not a real filesystem, and is not really taking up disk space.  It's a convenience mechanism to get information from the kernel
[23:16] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: Ah, okay. :)
[23:16] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: All the same that seems excessive.  Where did you see that number?  In filelight?
[23:17] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: I think you found your culprit.  Proc should not show up in anything as taking up disk space
[23:18] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: How did you get 141TB for proc?  Using what command?
[23:18] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: No, I've been investigating using Ubuntu's file browser. I simply viewed the properties.
[23:18] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: Also, it seems most of the 5TB partition is in usr, so I think now it seems that is the culprit, but I'm not sure what. I'm looking into this...
[23:20] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: You sure it's not showing it taking 141GB or 141 MB?
[23:20] <neyder_> how can I launch a python app in a locale different than english
[23:20] <wmarone> recommendations for a vncserver whose package works? tightvncserver seems to be broken
[23:20] <neyder_> because, i'm trying turtleart in an spanish system but it loads in english.
[23:20] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: Certain.
[23:20] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: "88,501 items, totalling 140.7 TB
[23:20] <Fluid_Mantis> (some contents unreadable)"
[23:21] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: You must have one hell of a power supply to power 141TB of hard driv espace ;)
[23:21] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: Haha, you would think so.
[23:21] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: Perhaps my SSD is faulty... :/
[23:21] <foul_owl> Hello. I am having a problem with OpenGL. I have an Nvidia GeForce 6600 video card that does not seem to have OpenGL acceleration enabled. Running glxgears gives me a black windowed gtk window. This problem occurred with the default nouveau drivers for 12.04, and again when I uninstalled nouveau and installed the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia driver ppa (304.37) Trying to run other OpenGL apps (such as openarena) produces a black screen
[23:21] <W4sp> neyder_: export ENVIRONMENT=en_US <command>
[23:21] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: If you're bootin' then it's workin'
[23:21] <Darkenvy> EXACT SAME ISSUE AS FOUL
[23:22] <W4sp> neyder_: where en_US your desired locale is.
[23:22] <maze> Hi
[23:22] <neyder_> es_PE
[23:22] <neyder_> doesn't work
[23:23] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: Yeah, I guess. But something went terribly wrong with Windows 7 when I migrated from my HDD to SSD. Some of my data got corrupted for a completely unknown reason. I've only had the SSD for a few weeks.
[23:23] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: Your best bet is to point FileLight at your home directory and find out what's using the space under there
[23:23] <ironhalik> Is there a way to disable the edge stickiness with launcher auto-hiding?
[23:23] <dj_segfault> Does anyone know if there's an equivalent of SMART for SSDs for Fluid_Mantis?
[23:24] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: Yes, I think I'll point it to usr since home in usr is only like 20MB or so.
[23:24] <maze> Is there anyway I can connect to my apple time machine and backup a few files on ubuntu??
[23:24] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis:  You could boot off of CD and run fsck on the SSD to verify it
[23:24] <Dian|Busy> maze: you mean Time /Capsule?/
[23:24] <trism> ironhalik: there is an option in System Settings/Displays or in ccsm on the unity experimental tab if you are using proprietary drivers
[23:24] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: Isn't it bad to do a check disk on an SSD?
[23:25] <W4sp> neyder_: You can try LC_CTYPE, LC_TYPE, all in one line. There are side effects using LC_ALL as it is often not read by progs.
[23:25] <Dian|Busy> !pm | maze
[23:25] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: I think so, but would you rather deteriorate it a bit and find out if its good or bad, or have it fail on you unexpectedly?
[23:25] <W4sp> neyder_: You can do this all in one line followed by the program name.
[23:26] <neyder_> export LC_TYPE=es_ES turtleart
[23:26] <neyder_> but turtleart doesn't launch
[23:27] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: Good point. Well, I checked out usr with FileLight and most of it is taken up by lib and share.
[23:27] <ironhalik> trism: ah! At last, fully usable multi-monitor setup! Thanks
[23:27] <ironhalik> a lot
[23:27] <ironhalik> :>
[23:27] <dj_segfault> Fluid_Mantis: That makes sense.  When you said "user" I thought you meant your home directory
[23:28] <W4sp> !pm | Treaver:
[23:29] <Fluid_Mantis> dj_segfault: A lot of lib is "i386-linux-gnu" and "x86_64-linux-gnu", I believe this is from when I installed Wine and support for 32-bit Linux executables. I didn't realise they'd take up quite a lot of data.
[23:29] <Dian|Busy> !trailing-colon | W4sp
[23:29] <Dian|Busy> ...darn.
[23:30] <Dian|Busy> In any case, if you use a pipe like that, W4sp, it automatically appends a colon. So you don't need to. XD
[23:30] <W4sp> Dian|Busy: I got it.  :-)
[23:30] <bleemoo> Hello folks who know more about maintaining Ubuntu than I do :) When returning from suspend, about a third of the time, with no discernible pattern, my system boots normally, and then, anywhere from 10 to 45 seconds later, freezes and xorg reboots (or at least that's what I think happens). I'm not even sure what to do to diagnose this further, so any help would be much appreciated.
[23:30] <bleemoo> I am running 12.04 on a Toshiba laptop.
[23:30] <W4sp> !language | Dian|Busy
[23:31] <Dian|Busy> Yes, like that.
[23:31] <W4sp> Dian|Busy: Lovely. Thanks a lot.
[23:31] <Dian|Busy> (I'm assuming you didn't actually mean that for me, lol)
[23:32] <stef1a> hey, i'm using 12.04 and my sound doesn't work through my headphones
[23:32] <ehma> hello, running ubuntu 10.04 (lucid). lately I've been receiving a 'power manager not responding error' at the login screen + seemingly random freeze ups within 10 minutes of booting up. am googling to see what some of the causes might be, but offhand would anyone have any suggestions for things to check ?
[23:32] <Seednode> Do you have it enabled in PulseAudio?
