[13:34] <Dark_Apostrophe> Thanks :)
[13:34] <dr_willis> pavucontrol lets you piick what to use as the output
[13:34] <Dark_Apostrophe> Downloading it now
[13:34] <dr_willis> that box plays the kids cartoons fine.. I think it even does that ubuntu netflix thing fine..
[13:34] <Zentaur> hi
[13:34] <dr_willis> but its not playing HD stuff
[13:34] <Dark_Apostrophe> Oh... HD is kind of what I'm aiming for,.
[13:35] <Zentaur> i've got 8 gb of ram. how much swap do i need?
[13:35] <Zentaur> must i create it at the beggining of the hdd?
[13:35] <dr_willis> Zentaur:  desktop? laptop? you plan on using hibernate/suspend?
[13:35] <Dark_Apostrophe> Zentaur: I've got 14GB of RAM, using no swap - have yet to find any adverse consequences. But I think the common recommendation is at least 1GB...
[13:35] <dr_willis> swap can be anywhere
[13:35] <Dark_Apostrophe> Mine is a desktop, mind you.
[13:35] <Zentaur> desktop and i plan to hibernate/suspend
[13:36] <dr_willis> then you want ram+ a litle bit more
[13:37] <koala_> hi there
[13:37] <Zentaur> really??? i've always had 1 gb while i had 4gb
[13:37] <BluesKaj> Zentaur, then use at least 8G , maybe 9
[13:37] <dchevak> a good place to look for help with ati and linux is bitcoin
[13:37] <dchevak> I run ati SDK
[13:37] <dr_willis> Zentaur:  you said you wanted hibernate/suspend = there for you need ram+a little
[13:37] <koala_> i'm a noob and i would like to join a channel that i found, how would i do that?
[13:37] <dchevak> for password crunching
[13:37] <Dark_Apostrophe> pavucontrol seemed to do exactly what I wanted - thanks again, dr_willis :)
[13:37] <Zentaur> ok
[13:37] <koala_> irc.indymedia.org:6697
[13:37] <dr_willis>   /join #channelname
[13:38] <Zentaur> thanks
[13:38] <dr_willis> thats a server.. not a channel
[13:38] <Dark_Apostrophe> dchevak: Oh, people still haven't gone over to dedicated hardware?
[13:38] <koala_> thx a lot
[13:38] <Zentaur> what if it was a laptop with 2 gb?
[13:38] <Dark_Apostrophe> I thought graphics cards would've been displaced by ASICs by now
[13:38] <Zentaur> 2gb and a little more?
[13:38] <dr_willis> Zentaur:  hibernate/suspend = there for you need ram+a little
[13:38] <BluesKaj> Zentaur, yes
[13:38] <Zentaur> ok
[13:38] <dr_willis> or moar :) if  you want
[13:39] <Dark_Apostrophe> or FPGAs.
[13:40] <sobhan2> any one can give a link about what ubuntu did for gnome 3.7 work with upstart (since it look likes it isn't going to move to systemd :) ) ?
[13:40] <dr_willis> from wht ive seen theres plans for systemd in a few more releases.. :) but not soon
[13:40] <dr_willis> !upstart
[13:40] <dr_willis> No idea what had to be done to gnome for upstart
[13:41] <sobhan2> dr_willis: since gnome 3.7 depend on systemd-logind...
[13:42] <dr_willis> cant say ive noticed. ;)
[13:43] <nearst> sup
[13:46] <Zentaur> is 50 gb enough for / ?
[13:47] <captine> Zentaur, i only have used 12.6 gig of my /   I had lots of space and set over 100gig for it, but am regretting it now.
[13:48] <nearst> im upgrade release precise to quantal done with error
[13:48] <dr_willis> Zentaur:  ive filled up a 20gb/  so i say 50 is good..
[13:48] <dr_willis> but i used a lot of /tmp/  ;)
[13:48] <dr_willis> and cache for the apt-cacher-ng
[13:48] <sobhan2> why #ubuntu in irc.freenode.net and chat.freenode.net aren't the same
[13:49] <nearst> why not same?
[13:50] <jrib> sobhan2: they should be; maybe you got stuck in a netsplit?
[13:51] <AlphaPinky> Hello. I heard Ubuntu is doing OS for phones too. Can I install it in my SAmsung Galaxy S2?
[13:52] <nearst> AlphaPinky, official release maybe 2014 :(
[13:53] <AlphaPinky> too late =(
[13:53] <AlphaPinky> that´s sad. i hate my phone :(
[13:54] <VictorRedtail|Sa> Hello
[13:54] <nearst> AlphaPinky, aww. there is plenty of cook rom at xda. :P
[13:54] <sobhan2> AlphaPinky: depend how much trouble you can risk
[13:55] <AlphaPinky> the problem is, it is still android.
[13:55] <VictorRedtail|Sa> I have a question about Inter Matrix (Rapid Storage Tech) Raid (in the RAID 1 config) and Ubuntu. The question is will it read the RAID at all or will it fail to read any drives or see both drives as seperate?
[13:55] <sobhan2> AlphaPinky: you can remove android and install any distro you like (good luck)
[13:55] <AlphaPinky> sobhan2, that´s the issue.
[13:56] <AlphaPinky> i´m not aware of alternatives.
[13:56] <sobhan2> AlphaPinky: ubuntu should run fine
[13:56] <sobhan2> rolling ubuntu might be better
[13:57] <sobhan2> AlphaPinky: if by alternatives you mean this
[13:57] <jpds> sobhan2: Then you have a device that's a phone, but not a phone.
[13:57] <AlphaPinky> yes
[13:57] <AlphaPinky> not a good solution
[13:58] <sobhan2> jpds: rolling ubuntu unity don't support touch screen ?
[13:59] <jpds> sobhan2: What are you talking about?
[13:59] <kingbeast> can I get a highlight real quick
[13:59] <jpds> kingbeast: No.
[13:59] <kingbeast> thank jpds
[13:59] <kingbeast> lol
[13:59] <AlphaPinky> :)
[13:59] <sobhan2> jpds: never mind
[14:00] <fedor> hi there. I have an issue with space for root. 300 Mb remains, and that's annoying. Can I enlarge root partition?
[14:00] <sobhan2> AlphaPinky: are you sure ?
[14:00] <AlphaPinky> sobhan2, sure about what?
[14:01] <padhu> fedor: are you tried with gparted?
[14:01] <sobhan2> AlphaPinky: did you tried to install ubuntu with android ?
[14:01] <AlphaPinky> I did not.
[14:01] <nearst> !gparted | fedor
[14:01] <AlphaPinky> sobhan2, have you seen it?
[14:01] <AlphaPinky> I have only seen remote sessions.
[14:02] <fedor> thanx, i knew that though
[14:02] <nearst> AlphaPinky, worth to try :P
[14:02] <AlphaPinky> I think so.
[14:02] <AlphaPinky> But I wouldnt do it before researching more the subject.

[14:03] <dirk_schmitt> How can I assign the bug to the precise release ?

[14:09] <dirk_schmitt> padhu: Just the question how to obtain the rigts to "control bugs" / assign to the "bug control team".
[14:09] <sobhan3> Hi
[14:09] <jwtiyar> nearst: but  after installing xfce and rebooting its not booting
[14:12] <nearst> and "not booting" mean? no grub? no login interface? try verbose mode on kernel
[14:14] <jwtiyar> Hi
[14:15] <jwtiyar> Ubuntu it's not booting
[14:16] <jwtiyar> Hello?
[14:17] <nearst> try recovery mode?
[14:17] <padhu> jwtiyar: need more info for further guidelines
[14:18] <jwtiyar> Nearst in recovery when i select an option will stop
[14:18] <Nix_> ok, can I send message now?
[14:18] <jwtiyar> The i have putted in previous chat
[14:18] <jwtiyar> The picture
[14:18] <Nix_> messages*, can someone read me?
[14:19] <padhu> Nix_: please follow IRC rules
[14:19] <andsch> Hello. I would like to burn a Ubuntu liveCD, and I'm wondering if a 800MB would produce a much faster LiveCD than the standard writable DVD...
[14:19] <nearst> jwtiyar, is that hang at your /dev/sda7 ?
[14:20] <andsch> I would like to know, also, if such CD is hard to find...
[14:20] <nearst> andsch, try boot from usb?
[14:20] <Nix_> Padhu: it's hard to follow rules when I can't use Mibbit (my favourite webclient) and the Freenode one doesn't work, also my back's been hurting for 20 hours and I'm quite upset right now...
[14:20] <andsch> nearst: I already have a usb, with written MBR. A new one would be unreasonably expensive for that purpose.
[14:21] <jwtiyar> NeaRst yes
[14:21] <cliffer> hi im just installing ubuntu 12.10. i want to have encryption... i created a mapper with an ext4 in it as /. should i create another mapper with a swap in it or do i need one mapper with / and swap in it?
[14:21] <Nix_> anyway, is there a way to install Ubuntu on an USB drive AND make that drive usable on Windows?
[14:21] <padhu> Nix_: are you tried any other client?
[14:21] <cliffer> Nix_: partition that usb drive?
[14:21] <nearst> jwtiyar, u boot in recovery mode? try nomodeset
[14:21] <Nix_> Padhu: I'm using mIRC right now
[14:22] <Nix_> cliffer: how exactly?
[14:22] <jwtiyar> Nearst how to nomodeset?
[14:22] <nearst> andsch, u can boot iso from hardrive on grub for that purpose. :)
[14:22] <cliffer> Nix_: gparted?
[14:22] <cliffer> partitions for / and /boot and swap and a partition for the data... formatted as fat32
[14:23] <Nix_> (cliffer: I know how to partition a drive, I just don't know how to partition it to make it work on Windows while Ubuntu is installed there; I tried to have a fat32 partition but I can't make Windows see it
[14:23] <vedic> I have a server colocated on a remote data center. It is running Ubuntu and some old softwares which I don't want now. Is it possible to install fresh OS without visiting data center?
[14:23] <mhs> Where I can find a graphical user interface for 3g data dongle in UBUNTU 12.10?
[14:23] <andsch> nearst: can I boot using grub legacy and an image on a NTFS partition? My linux partition is encrypted, and so has problems with grub legacy.
[14:23] <jwtiyar> nearst which one i have to edit?
[14:24] <padhu> Nix_: okey...
[14:24] <nearst> jwtiyar, http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it/162076#162076
[14:24] <andsch> nearst: And I wouldn't like to overwrite my HDD's MBR, as that would compromise my desired setup (i.e., having windows bootstarter on it)
[14:24] <SolarisBoy> Nix_: possibly you should mark that partition as a msdos partition?
[14:24] <cliffer> what is right? crypt-mapper->(swap and /) OR [crypt-mapper->swap; crypt-mapper->/]
[14:24] <SolarisBoy> with fdisk/cfdisk or whatever
[14:24] <vedic> I have a server colocated on a remote data center. It is running Ubuntu and some old softwares which I don't want now. Is it possible to install fresh OS without visiting data center?
[14:24] <cliffer> what is right? crypt-mapper->(swap and /) OR [crypt-mapper->swap; crypt-mapper->/]
[14:25] <nearst> andsch, im use grub-legacy anyway :)
[14:25] <nearst> afk
[14:26] <vedic> Can a new OS be installed while the server is running? If reboot requires that is not an issue. I can reboot server as many times as I want. But I want to delete everything from it and install from scratch. I don't have physical access to the server
[14:26] <detrimental> i am trying to manually set up partitions. trying to dual boot windows 8 and linux gpt does anyone know a good guide or something on manually setting up partition to dual boot windows gpt?
[14:26] <SolarisBoy> vedic: sure but its not easy and at one point youll need to boot into the new kernel
[14:27] <SolarisBoy> vedic: it would be way safer to have someone physically access it at the colo - but for instance you could debootstrap a new system update grub and boot into it - but its not a "easy" thing
[14:27] <nearst> andsch, im not overwrite mbr, im boot my box from windows bootloader for dd image
[14:28] <vedic> SolarisBoy: Can I undo all the software installations that were done after installing the server?
[14:28] <SolarisBoy> vedic assuming you have a free disk or partition with space attached sure
[14:29] <vedic> Ok
[14:29] <jwtiyar> nearst now it show me terminal login screen
[14:29] <Nix_> cliffer: do I have to format the 'data' partition in FAT32 and the others in ext(2,3,4)?
[14:29] <NimeshNeema> Playing any flash videos is showing a lot of grains over the playback in my Ubuntu install. How do I fix this ?
[14:29] <NimeshNeema> Screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vy9t8i1rp97dywk/Screenshot%20from%202013-02-02%2019%3A53%3A45.png
[14:29] <SolarisBoy> in which case you could debootstrap to that space and point grub and the kernel to mount that as root - but as stated you'll want to review the process before doing it.
[14:29] <jpds> vedic: Installing while something is running sounds like a world of pain.
[14:30] <vedic> SolarisBoy: Is there any safe way to install Ubuntu 12.04 on 10.04 LTS? I want to ensure that server doesn't become inaccessible
[14:30] <cliffer> Nix_: fat32
[14:30] <vedic> SolarisBoy: Kindly of OS upgrade
[14:30] <andsch> nearst: okay, man. But how do I do that?
[14:30] <SolarisBoy> vedic: if you dont have a problem with rebooting why not just do dist-upgrade assuming your going from LTS to LTS
[14:31] <vedic> SolarisBoy: yea, but I don't think dist-upgrade does full OS upgrade
[14:31] <jpds> SolarisBoy: Because he wants to remove old stuff.
[14:31] <jpds> vedic: It does.
[14:31] <SolarisBoy> oh right - then yea
[14:31] <SolarisBoy> if thats the case - and you dont have the phys access then the only other way i can see is to do a debootstrap - manual setup
[14:31] <mhs> Where I can more help on 3g data dongle connections in ubuntu 12.10.?
[14:32] <vedic> SolarisBoy: And that is safe?
[14:32] <nearst> andsch, im use dd bs=512 count=1 method
[14:32] <vedic> SolarisBoy: I don't want data center engineers to charge me if server become inaccesible :)
[14:32] <Kneferilis1> hello
[14:32] <vedic> =
[14:32] <SolarisBoy> also - what does remove old stuff mean . not being simple but in the upgrade process it will strip things that are no longer supported, and then can't you just remove the apps you don't want?
[14:33] <SolarisBoy> vedic: heh
[14:33] <Kneferilis1> is there a email newsletter I can subscribe to, that send me linux commands and examples?
[14:33] <vedic> SolarisBoy: I mean, they will make it accesible again but on payment
[14:33] <SolarisBoy> if your looking for "safe" take a backup and do a dist-upgrade
[14:33] <jpds> vedic: You're going to have to remove the things you don't want by hand.
[14:34] <SolarisBoy> removing old stuff - you just remove it with apt thats all
[14:34] <vedic> SolarisBoy: I have virtual machine on that server and they are setup from command line. They are occupying lot of space. Also the host has some mysql, php stuff that I need to clean
[14:34] <SolarisBoy> ok. remove it
[14:34] <vedic> jpds: i see
[14:35] <SolarisBoy> apt-get purge <pkg> anything that doesn't remove - delete it
[14:35] <SolarisBoy> problem solved
[14:35] <vedic> SolarisBoy: I see
[14:35] <nearst> andsch, http://www.thpc.info/dual/xp2knt/ntldr_dual_ubuntu_on_xp2k.html
[14:35] <bazhang> !abs | Kneferilis1
[14:35] <vedic> Will try that
[14:35] <SolarisBoy> if you were willing to re-install apparently none of that data matters, so purge it
[14:35] <vedic> ok

[15:00] <param> help... how to install vmware on ubuntu.
[15:01] <yeats> jimmy_lo: what is your overall goal? I'm assuming libsoup is a dependency.. for what?
[15:01] <jimmy_lo> webkit
[15:02] <jimmy_lo> yeats, I am building webkit using command "build-webkit --gtk"
[15:03] <jimmy_lo> but it tells me "configure: error: Package requirements (libsoup-2.4 >= 2.40.0) were not met: Requested 'libsoup-2.4 >= 2.40.0' but version of libsoup is 2.38.1"
[15:04] <ShapeShifter499> hi no one is answering me right now in #ubuntustudio but anyways I was wondering, yesterday someone there suggested that if I was to install Ubuntu Studio on top of my current Ubuntu installation I should also install the low-latency kernel,  what is the low-latency kernel and do I really need it?   I'm guessing it's for audio and to help minimize lags and issues that may occur for optimal use
[15:04] <yeats> !info libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 precise
[15:04] <zykotick9> jigsaw: if you DON'T want to use the USB as an installer, i'd recommend doing a regular/full install to USB's over using persistance.
[15:05] <yeats> jimmy_lo: you could try 'sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0'
[15:05] <cristian_c_> 7join #ubuntu-it-chat
[15:05] <yeats> jimmy_lo: unless you need a specific version
[15:05] <jimmy_lo> I just tried, it tells " libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is already the newest version."

[15:07] <jimmy_lo> yeats, do you have other suggestions
[15:07] <x-Na> Has anyone else bumped into this, I noticed my machine was generating a lot of network traffic, as I only have 1Mbits upward, it was eating all up. Started digging into it, and the traffic was going to cherufe.canonical.com, port 443
[15:07] <Kneferilis1> hmm, this doesn't have bash installed: http://bellard.org/jslinux/
[15:08] <yeats> jimmy_lo: so you're following this?: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingGtk
[15:08] <zykotick9> x-Na: that's ubuntuone
[15:08] <x-Na> Hmmh

[15:09] <yeats> jimmy_lo: okay - so you started on 11.04, then upgraded to 12.04?  I'm confused...
[15:10] <jimmy_lo> Yes, because such problems
[15:10] <jimmy_lo> some told me that 11.04 is end of life
[15:10] <yeats> jimmy_lo: well 11.04 is EOL, so I'm not surprised you'd have problems there
[15:11] <jimmy_lo> But I still have problems on 12.04
[15:11] <janisozaur> hello. some time ago i've resized my ext4 data partition (shrunk it), i think it was done using gparted. since that time, i am no longer able to mount the partition. my partition table can be seen here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1323345/part.png and i get following message in syslog when i try mounting it: "EXT4-fs (sda5): bad geometry: block count 132120552 exceeds size of device (131855479 blocks)". can i fix this?
[15:12] <jimmy_lo> yeats, is it possible that I don't add enough repositories
[15:12] <Kneferilis1> bash is kinda large, but I have only half megabyte free space: http://bellard.org/jslinux/
[15:13] <Kneferilis1> any suggestions?
[15:13] <yeats> jimmy_lo: no - the problem is that you're trying to build something that requires newer versions of dependencies than are available on 12.04
[15:13] <yeats> jimmy_lo: this is one of the reasons you want to stick with versions in the repo if possible
[15:14] <yeats> jimmy_lo: so it looks like you have libwebkitgtk-1.0.0 installed - what isn't working when you try to use it?
[15:14]  * yeats isn't familiar with its use, but can help generally with software installation
[15:15] <jimmy_lo> yeats, you mean what I see when I use command "build-webkit --gtk"?
[15:16] <Kneferilis1> ok, I want to use a web based ssh shell, any suggestions? I also need a linux box for free, any sites doing that?
[15:16] <yeats> jimmy_lo: no - I mean, why aren't you able to use the version that is (apparently) already installed?
[15:17] <jimmy_lo> yeats, I am learning how to build webkit
[15:17] <nearst> Kneferilis1, try shellinabox
[15:18] <jimmy_lo> yeats, and webkit source code
[15:18] <yeats> jimmy_lo: gotcha
[15:19] <yeats> jimmy_lo: well, when you build from source and the OS packages are not the right version, you have to track down and install the right version
[15:19] <yeats> jimmy_lo: the problem with that is that the dependencies you install might conflict with the OS, causing problems
[15:19] <yeats> jimmy_lo: which is why you use APT in the first place - it protects you from that kind of thing
[15:20] <jimmy_lo> OK, I see.
[15:20] <zykotick9> yeats: if you stick to the default repos ;)
[15:20] <yeats> zykotick9: true - but in this channel, people generally recommend sticking with the Ubuntu repos
[15:21] <yeats> hard to support anything if nobody has the basics in common ;-)
[15:21] <zykotick9> yeats: right... i never see PPAs suggested... ;)
[15:21] <jimmy_lo> zykotick9, do you know how to find repos which can get what I want?
[15:21] <yeats> !ppa | jimmy_lo
[15:22] <yeats> jimmy_lo: that would probably be your next step if you're determined to build it on 12.04.  I'll also mention that 12.10 has the desired version of libsoup
[15:23] <jimmy_lo> I find this https://launchpad.net/~webkit-team/+archive/ppa
[15:23] <jimmy_lo> but it seems outdated
[15:24] <yeats> jimmy_lo: that's part of why ppas aren't supported - they depend on individuals to keep them up-to-date
[15:24] <Tinybird> Hi
[15:26] <kingbeast> Why is a seal pup on the front page?
[15:26] <kingbeast> This world has really twisted minds
[15:26] <jimmy_lo> yeats, wait, you just said "12.10 has the desired version of libsoup", so I can upgrade again.
[15:27] <kingbeast> people are shooting pool and you would rather watch a seal lay on the beach
[15:27] <kingbeast> ooops wrong channel
[15:28] <jimmy_lo> yeats, how do you know which version is used in 12.10
[15:28] <llutz> !info libsoup2.4-1 | jimmy_lo
[15:30] <jimmy_lo> !info libgtk+3.0
[15:31] <dartos> How do I set the default terminal emulator?
[15:32] <zykotick9> dartos: system wide?  if yes, try "sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator"
[15:33] <dartos> is the default one terminator??
[15:33] <jimmy_lo> yeats, in effect, I had updated glib manually from 2.28 to 2.32 on 11.04
[15:33] <jimmy_lo> yeats, thats
[15:33] <dartos> zykotick9: It isn't changing :(
[15:34] <jimmy_lo> yeats, that's because I met the same problem
[15:34] <jimmy_lo> yeats, I think I have to do it again.
[15:34] <zykotick9> dartos: interesting... i got no more suggestions, good luck.
[15:35] <dartos> zykotick9: ...thanks...i guess
[15:36] <nearst> jockey not work well. cant detect my driver

[15:38] <viski30> I need help installing drivers on Ubunto 10.04 for ELO USB touchscreen monitor
[15:40] <nearst> viski30, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EloTouchScreen
[15:41] <Kneferilis1> how can you access a linux server with pop3 or imap?
[15:42] <l0p3n> Hello! I have a question about GRUB. Is it correct to say that GRUB
[15:42] <l0p3n> installed on the MBR will always have higher priority than GRUB installed
[15:42] <l0p3n> on any other partition? Does BIOS always first check in the MBR when
[15:42] <l0p3n> searching for a boot loader?
[15:42] <FloodBot1> l0p3n: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:42] <llutz> Kneferilis1: you install and configure a pop3/imap server (dovecot, courier....)
[15:43] <nearst> !mbr | l0p3n
[15:44] <designbybeck__> so Ubuntu's default swappiness is 60, if you have a lot of ram, can you bump this up for faster performance?
[15:44] <l0p3n> It's just a question out of interest. At the moment I have no problem booting into Linux.
[15:46] <Kneferilis1> so pop3 and imap is not just for emails?
[15:46] <llutz> l0p3n: yes
[15:46] <nearst> u can use pop3s and imaps too
[15:47] <llutz> Kneferilis1: both are protocols to access mails
[15:47] <l0p3n> llutz: Alright thanks for clearing that up =)

[15:49] <bonhoeffer> i'm trying to format a new drive
[15:49] <nearst> fglrx:firegl_init_device_list] *ERROR* No supported display adapters
[15:50] <nn0101> anyone run sandy bridge (core i7) here on 12.10?
[15:51] <nn0101> my fan is running crazy and my log gives me:  CPU0: Package power limit normal
[15:51] <nn0101> CPU0: Package power limit notification (total events = 176)
[15:52] <nn0101> intel/ati dual graphics is what i suspect
[15:52] <nn0101> although i've turned off ati card.
[15:53] <bonhoeffer> how do i format the volume in a way that has good performance? 2000.399 GB is what i'm going to say, but that came up as a bad performer before
[15:53] <bonhoeffer> "The partition is misaligned by 3072 bytes. This may result in very poor performance"
[15:53] <bonhoeffer> any help is greatly appreciated
[15:58] <bonhoeffer> i'm confused why this doesn't work out of the box -- i have to do calculations to partition a drive?
[15:59] <contrapunctus> bonhoeffer
[15:59] <contrapunctus> I've never faced this...GParted has always done whatever I wanted it to :\
[15:59] <zykotick9> bonhoeffer: just to make sure - you realize alignment is a partition issue, not a formatting one right?
[16:00] <bonhoeffer> correct
[16:00] <otwieracz> Hello.
[16:00] <lopez> I am running ubuntu 12.10 from usb
[16:00] <otwieracz> How can I use my custom /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/foobar as keyboard layout?
[16:00] <lopez> it wont't allow me to mount 2 harddrives on the laptop
[16:00] <otwieracz> Can I somehow select it from Control Panel?
[16:00] <bonhoeffer> so i get that the beginning of the partition should align with the large physical sector
[16:01] <bonhoeffer> but zykotick9, it looks like i should use gparted -- will it do the alignment automatically?
[16:01] <bonhoeffer> should i have 1 MiB free space preceeding (that is what comes up in default in gparted)
[16:01] <zykotick9> bonhoeffer: i doubt it...  i'm not an alignment export!  gparted is certainly a good start though.
[16:02] <zykotick9> s/export/expert/
[16:02] <bonhoeffer> fair enough -- i, as well, am not an alignment expert
[16:03] <evergreen> Can someone please help me -- here's my problem http://goo.gl/YWUvx
[16:03] <genial> bonhoeffer: i used gdisk to format mine, and stumbled across that message you are referring to. solved it by setting the partition to start at sector 2048
[16:04] <bonhoeffer> genial, sounds like a good rule of thumb, but i would expect a partition manager to understand the alignment issues
[16:04] <bonhoeffer> it seems like the best rule is to align to 1MB to start
[16:06] <bonhoeffer> after formatting, how do i best mount and make that drive a permanent part of the configuration?
[16:06] <phoenixsampras> how to print from libreoffice to pdf?
[16:06] <genial> bonhoeffer: adding it to /etc/fstab would do the trick, it would be mounted on boot
[16:06] <bonhoeffer> right now it is mounted as /media/BigBackup but i imagine i need to edit fstab . . . yeha
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> Bonhoeffer: you mount the partition,  not the drive
[16:07] <bonhoeffer> ActionParsnip, thanks for the clarification
[16:07] <shomon> hi, how do I rename a usb drive?
[16:07] <bonhoeffer> is there a nice automated way to add to fstab, or is text editor the only way to go?
[16:07] <llutz> phoenixsampras: you either export as pdf or install cups-pdf and use that as printer-device
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> Bonhoeffer: run: sudo blkid     you can use the UUID in fstab
[16:07] <zykotick9> shomon: depends on the format.  for ext use e2label.
[16:07] <bekks> bonhoeffer: You need a text editor.
[16:07] <bonhoeffer> ActionParsnip, thanks
[16:09] <bonhoeffer> cool for me, but there is not a grandma friendly option . . . i thought linux was going mainstream
[16:10] <bekks> bonhoeffer: Modifying basic system settings without a GUI has nothing to do with "going mainstream".
[16:10] <bonhoeffer> well, take mac or windows for example. you plug in a drive and it is there
[16:10] <bonhoeffer> no need for a text editor
[16:11] <bonhoeffer> you don't have to worry about alignment issues when formatting drives
[16:11] <Alocer> bonhoeffer: this is why Linux is Linux :D
[16:11] <lopez> I am running ubuntu 12.10 from usb
[16:12] <shomon> zykotick9, how do I know if my usb drive is ext or not?
[16:12] <bonhoeffer> Alocer, true, and i love it -- i'm not afraid of emacs and googling config, but i thought ubuntu was taking linux to the masses
[16:12] <lopez> it wont't allow me to mount 2 harddrives on the laptop
[16:12] <bekks> bonhoeffer: Neither on a MAc nor on Windows something is edited in the fstab by just plugging it into your computer.
[16:12] <zykotick9> shomon: "mount" in terminal should show you.
[16:12] <bekks> shomon: Run "sudo blkid"
[16:13] <Alocer> even windows 8 is using VM's now
[16:13] <bonhoeffer> bekks, i don't want to split hairs, i've plugged in drives many times and never had to edit a text file
[16:13] <bekks> Alocer: Windows 8 just provides Hyper-V, it does not use vms.
[16:14] <bekks> bonhoeffer: Yeah, so that point is totally irrelevant when talking about editing the fstab is not being mainstream.
[16:14] <Alocer> bekks: yes . win 8 do some of things virually
[16:14] <Alocer> virtually*
[16:14] <bekks> Alocer: Not a single thing.
[16:14] <shomon> ok it's vfat...
[16:14] <shomon> how do I change the label?
[16:14] <jragon> Every time I want to watch a flash video on flash I have to use 'killall pulseaudio' otherwise it goes really quickly.
[16:14] <falconx> fuck all
[16:14] <nearst> use chrome?
[16:14] <ThinkT510> shomon: gparted will let you change the label
[16:15] <bonhoeffer> bekks, point is only that adding a drive should be more automated, you surely couldn't have missed that
[16:15] <Guest82902> The "disable touchpad while typing" option is not working for me. can any one help me diagnose the problem?
[16:16] <Guest82902> I have 12.10 amd64 on a dell vostro 3560
[16:16] <bekks> bonhoeffer: Just plugging in a drive in a linux box most likely will automount it - unless it has several partitions. is using LVM, is using encryption, etc.
[16:16] <Alocer> w8 bonhoeffer is it not automated ?? i mean when u insert a flash drive ubuntu doesnt open it for you ?
[16:16] <bonhoeffer> flash drives, yes, but i'm talking about the spinning kind . . .
[16:16] <lacrymology> where do the repos added with apt-add-repository end up? how do I remove them?
[16:16] <bonhoeffer> hooked into the mobo
[16:17] <bekks> bonhoeffer: Which works like a charm here, too, unless one of the named circumstances occur.
[16:17] <Guest82902> lacrymology: sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:THING/THING
[16:17] <bonhoeffer> bekks, so, maybe i'm missing something, because I'm researching fstab syntax instead of it just working
[16:17] <zykotick9> lacrymology: for ppas?  see "/msg ubottu ppa-purge" to remove them.
[16:17] <ThinkT510> lacrymology: check /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:18] <zykotick9> ThinkT510: source.list.d i believe... lacrymology
[16:18] <bekks> bonhoeffer: Then check the named circumstances which would prevent automounting.
[16:18] <lacrymology> ThinkT510: they don't end up there
[16:18] <Guest82902> lacrymoloy: check /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> Lacrymology: look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[16:18] <lacrymology> ActionParsnip: yes, I saw that now, thanks
[16:19] <lacrymology> ActionParsnip: but the --remove flag is fine
[16:19] <JokesOnYou77> Hi all, I need a grep command to pull only the numbers from a string of characters
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> Lacrymology: delete the file for the ppa, then run: sudo apt-get update
[16:19] <xxiao> what the difference between "ubuntu" and "ubuntu 2D" at gdm login?
[16:19] <Guest82902> can some one help me with my touchpad not turning off while typing
[16:19] <xxiao> which one is the default
[16:19] <phoenixsampras> llutz: where is the export to pdf, option in libreoffice?
[16:19] <nearst> rawr
[16:19] <llutz> phoenixsampras: file -export to pdf
[16:19] <contrapunctus> xxiao, 2d is for slow/old pcs
[16:20] <phoenixsampras> llutz: thank you!!
[16:20] <xxiao> contrapunctus: thanks. i have a netbook and should use 2D then
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> Xxiao: 2d doesn't us3 compiz. Crashes less. Uses fewer resources
[16:20] <llutz> JokesOnYou77: grep -oE "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&search=:digit:{1,}" foo.dat
[16:20] <xxiao> ActionParsnip: thanks! using 2D now
[16:21] <JokesOnYou77> llutz, woah, cool
[16:21] <llutz> grml, konverstation replcae....
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> Xxiao: if you want a super light desktop,  install lxde and use that
[16:21] <xxiao> ActionParsnip: did that, after ubuntu 12.04 is up, I apt-get install lxde
[16:21] <xxiao> then at gdm I chose lxde
[16:22] <xxiao> is that it? do I need remove unity/gnome stuff?
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> Xxiao: why not just install Lubuntu?
[16:22] <xxiao> i noticed 2D will use swap right after login, lxde is slightly better
[16:22] <llutz> JokesOnYou77: hrm, did you receive a wikipedia link /as shown here/ or the correct pattern [ [ : d i g i t.... without spaces
[16:22] <xxiao> ActionParsnip: lubuntu does not support 12.04.1...
[16:22] <_ToPoTa_> hi. Im trying to install wubi from my usb. However I cannot boot from usb nor cd, what can i do ?
[16:22] <nearst> yup. try fresh install to avoid some problem or conflict
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> Xxiao: it doesn't remove anything,  you just select the DE you want at login
[16:23] <bonhoeffer> does this look suitable for a simple harddrive: ext4    defaults        0       0
[16:23] <nearst> !unetbootin|_ToPoTa_,
[16:23] <ThinkT510> !fstab | bonhoeffer
[16:23] <xxiao> ActionParsnip: i don't need really remove anytning from disk, MEM is the concern, hope using lxde under ubuntu will make things better
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Xxiao: yes, there is Lubuntu 12.04 :-). It's the same difference though
[16:23]  * xxiao switches to lxde again from 2D
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Xxiao; its a much faster session
[16:24] <JokesOnYou77> llutz, I got nothing, but I'm thinking I should actually use tr instead of grep, I just have to figure out how :P
[16:24] <xxiao> i checked 'free' and swap is not used at least, meanwhile the terminal color is a little 'worse'
[16:24] <_ToPoTa_> nearst
[16:24] <llutz_> JokesOnYou77: grep -oE "[[:digit:]]{1,}"
[16:24] <nearst> xxiao, there is a a lot alternative for a "lightweight" desktop manager :)
[16:24] <_ToPoTa_> i googled but didnt find any solution
[16:24] <_ToPoTa_> cant someone enlight me ?
[16:24] <_ToPoTa_> i need to install it today
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> Xxiao: if you use terminal a lot, I can recommend guake
[16:25] <xxiao> nearst: i tried openbox, gdm did not present a useful screen
[16:25] <ThinkT510> _ToPoTa_: not a lot of people here recommend wubi, can't you use a proper install?
[16:25] <nearst> _ToPoTa_, http://ubuntuguide.net/create-bootable-live-usb-ubuntu-with-unetbootin
[16:25] <JokesOnYou77> llutz, It Worked!
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> _topota_: why wubi? Its not a long term solution
[16:26] <_ToPoTa_> ThinkT510: i cant,
[16:26] <_ToPoTa_> because i cannot boot from USB and my cd is broken
[16:26] <xxiao> does LXDE use its own x libraries(similar to E17), or it leverages gnome-core stuff(which is heavy)
[16:26] <_ToPoTa_> so im trying to install it from the usb inside windows and using wubi
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> Xxiao: its gtk based if memory serves
[16:27] <ThinkT510> _ToPoTa_: why can't you boot from usb?
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> _topota_: what version of Windows are you using?
[16:27] <_ToPoTa_> ThinkT510:  because my old toshiba does not allow to do that,
[16:27] <_ToPoTa_> ActionParsnip:  im using windows xp sp2
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> _topota_: does the system have a make and model?
[16:28] <_ToPoTa_> and actually i have created the bootable usb
[16:28] <xxiao> ActionParsnip: guake is gnome-based, i worry that it might pull in all those gnome stuff
[16:28] <_ToPoTa_> ActionParsnip:  what you mean sorry ?
[16:28] <ThinkT510> _ToPoTa_: microsoft doesn't even support xp sp2 anymore
[16:28] <xxiao> which is why i do not want to use gnome-terminal under lxde
[16:28] <JokesOnYou77> Thank you llutz
[16:29] <xxiao> so far i fee XFCE has the best font by default
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> Xxiao: tilda is light and similar
[16:29] <xxiao> _ToPoTa_: i spent a whole day to get ubuntu 12.04 wubi to a netbook, as my netbook does not book off usb stick and no CDROM
[16:29] <nearst> :D
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> _topota_: is the system a home build or does it have a brand?
[16:30] <xxiao> _ToPoTa_: i had to use ubuntu 12.04.1's wubi.exe, then use network install to get things work
[16:30] <xxiao> it never recognized a local download iso or xz
[16:30] <bonhoeffer> is there a good way to copy folders that allows you to see progress -- i need to copy some big directories
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> Xxiao: if you want super light, you can use the WM om its own and not evwn use a DE
[16:30] <bonhoeffer> a guy -- sync program would be good because it would allow me to see what failed
[16:31] <_ToPoTa_> still dont understand...
[16:31] <_ToPoTa_> the system is simply xp sp2
[16:31] <_ToPoTa_> xxiao: what procedure you mean ?
[16:31] <xxiao> ActionParsnip: i could install all those lightweight WM, i want to use one that does not pull in gnome-stuff which is heavy
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> _topota_: yes but is the system made by dell? Lenovo? Toshiba!
[16:31] <nearst> fluxbox?
[16:31] <xxiao> meanwhile i don't want to use a different distro to minimize headacke on upgrades etc
[16:32] <_ToPoTa_> i think it isnt
[16:32] <llutz> bonhoeffer: rsync -a --progress /dir/ /new/path/
[16:32] <nearst> http://blog.crox.net/archives/39-Install-Ubuntu-without-cd-rom-over-the-network-Ubuntu-netboot-install,-works-for-CF-or-USB-too.html
[16:32] <xxiao> nearst: it's said awesome is awesome
[16:33] <xxiao> _ToPoTa_: i installed ubuntu 12.04 using wubi on vista from a netbook
[16:33] <xxiao> thought might be related to your case, i.e. wubi.exe is trick to use
[16:33] <nearst> my fglrx is not working, module load error
[16:33] <bonhoeffer> i'm getting stuff like this: readdir("/media/My Passport/Extras"): Input/output error (5)
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> _topota_: if you run  dxdiag   it will tell you the make and model of the system if it has one
[16:35] <shockbox> any body here ?
[16:35] <nearst> not sure
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> Shockbox: noone at all
[16:35] <bonhoeffer> i plug in my usb drive and it mounts as /media/New Volume, but i can't cd there, i get cd:cd:10: persmission denied: New Volume
[16:35] <shockbox> i need some help
[16:35] <_ToPoTa_> xxiao:  it is toshiba
[16:35] <bonhoeffer> if i do sudo, i get sudo cd: command not found
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> _topota_: ok, what model Toshiba?
[16:36] <dufa> shockbox: go ahead and ask
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> Bonhoeffer: check the mount options
[16:36] <_ToPoTa_> satellita A50
[16:36] <_ToPoTa_> satellite
[16:36] <bonhoeffer> ActionParsnip, ok -- it mounted automatically -- i can see it in disk manager, can i get anything there
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> _topota_: that is the make and model of the system,  which is what I asked
[16:36] <nearst> bonhoeffer, try fdisk -l and mount /dev/<your usb> /mnt && cd /mnt
[16:37] <bonhoeffer> nearst, will do
[16:38] <_ToPoTa_> ActionParsnip:  ok, i was confused about the "model of the system"
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> _topota_: does it have a floppy drive?
[16:40] <_ToPoTa_> ActionParsnip:  no it hasnt :(
[16:41] <_ToPoTa_> im loosing my hopes :P
[16:41] <_ToPoTa_> but anyways thanks for your help!!
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> _topota_: then I guess wubi is for you, or usevir
[16:41] <_ToPoTa_> but wubi asks me to boot the system
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> _topota_: or use virtualbox
[16:42] <_ToPoTa_> if i boot it i will not be able to boot from usb
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> _
[16:42] <_ToPoTa_> cannot use virtualbox since this toshiba is very old
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> _topota_: it will boot the internal drive,  then use the USB to continue the boot
[16:43] <_ToPoTa_> im gonna try but i think it is not like that at least what i remember
[16:43] <shomon> how do you change the label on a usb drive? it's not gparted.. it won't appear there.. or is it?
[16:43] <_ToPoTa_> see you later
[16:44] <shomon> it's vfat apparently
[16:44] <ThinkT510> shomon: yes, gparted can change the label
[16:44] <roasted> So I was playing YouTube last night, left my desktop run all night, sat down today, and now youtube is saying couldn't load plugin. Awesome. Anybody else seeing this?
[16:45] <ThinkT510> roasted: reload the page? restart the browser?
[16:45] <shomon> ThinkT510, wierd.. only my internal partitions appeared
[16:45] <shomon> although the drive was mounted
[16:45] <anonymous_> vbvbv
[16:45] <roasted> ThinkT510: been there.
[16:45] <ThinkT510> shomon: all drives appear, look at the top right to choose the drive
[16:46] <kostkon> roasted, reboot computer
[16:46] <ThinkT510> roasted: downloaded any recent updates?
[16:47] <nearst> jockey not work
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> !label | shomon
[16:47] <kostkon> roasted, at least logout and re-login
[16:47] <shomon> okay thanks ActionParsnip and ThinkT510
[16:47] <roasted> ThinkT510: not that I remember.
[16:47] <kostkon> roasted, maybe some firefox or flash left over process is causing the problem
[16:47] <roasted> kostkon: I'll try that then. I can't really afford to log out right now. Got a bunch of rendering jobs running (not to mention I shouldn't have to do that to begin with)
[16:47] <ThinkT510> roasted: there may be a flash update, check your updates
[16:48] <kostkon> roasted, ok
[16:48] <roasted> ThinkT510: flash comes packaged with Chrome. If anything, it's Chrome's fault. :P Firefox with flash works fine.
[16:48] <threex5> Is it possible to use a mac firewire isight webcam on a pc using ubuntu?
[16:48] <nidhimj22> i am unable to use ubuntu with my windows 8 laptop using wubi . ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr
[16:48] <nidhimj22> status 0xc000007b
[16:48] <nidhimj22> The application or operating system cold not be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
[16:48] <nidhimj22> Is there a way to use ubuntu using wubi
[16:48] <ThinkT510> roasted: ah, i don't use ppas
[16:48] <FloodBot1> nidhimj22: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:48] <roasted> ThinkT510: nor do I
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: what is the output of:   lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[16:48] <roasted> ThinkT510: Chrome, the browser, packages Flash on their own now.
[16:48] <SolarisBoy> how come traceroute doesn't get installed by default? =(
[16:48] <ThinkT510> roasted: chrome is a ppa, its not in the repos
[16:49] <threex5> I hooked it up, installed isight firmware tools, obtained the OSX files needed for the firmware tools, it installed OK but cheese can't find the device
[16:49] <roasted> ThinkT510: I downloaded it as a deb from Chrome's site. IT's not a PPA. I assure you of that.
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> Nidhimj22: chkdsk your NTFS partition
[16:49] <SolarisBoy> oh is mtr the replacement? cool i guess
[16:49] <ThinkT510> roasted: you downloaded from outside the repos therefore it isn't supported here
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> roasted: the chrome deb adds the google ppa
[16:49] <bekks> roasted: Which still doesnt change the fact that it isnt in the repos.
[16:49] <kostkon> roasted, naah
[16:49] <kostkon> roasted, it's fine
[16:49] <ThinkT510> roasted: that is akin to it being a ppa
[16:50] <roasted> ThinkT510: Oh, so now I can't ask a Chrome question here for software that's installable to Ubuntu? Makes perfect sense.
[16:50] <roasted> ActionParsnip: I see.
[16:50] <kostkon> roasted, you can
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: if you can give the output of my command. I can advise
[16:50] <roasted> ActionParsnip: working on that now. I got an error when I first ran it.
[16:51] <roasted> ActionParsnip: for you, sir - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1601957/
[16:51] <ThinkT510> roasted: you were having a flash problem that was caused by using software outside the repos, we can't support everything, there is a reason for having repos
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: do you only use chrome?
[16:52] <roasted> test
[16:52] <roasted> testing
[16:52] <ThinkT510> !test | roasted
[16:52] <roasted> ActionParsnip: sorry this channel locked up on irssi for me. Here's the pastebin - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1601957/
[16:53] <roasted> ThinkT510: yes, got it, thanks a lot bro
[16:53] <roasted> ThinkT510: good lookin out. appreciate it.
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: do you only use Chrome?
[16:53] <roasted> ActionParsnip: for the vast majority of my web browsing uses, yes.
[16:53] <cam`> i installed ubuntu last night and when i started up this morning the resolution wasn't correct on the login screen.  after login all i have is my wallpaper and a right click menu :[
[16:53] <dennot> I'm trying to boot grub2 from a file instead of a UUID, but it says "error: /dev/sda1 does not exist" even though initramfs says it does exist and is accessible.
[16:53] <ThinkT510> roasted: whats wrong with chromium in the repos?
[16:53] <roasted> ActionParsnip: just dug this up - http://askubuntu.com/questions/250448/youtube-couldnt-load-plug-in
[16:53] <roasted> ThinkT510: nothing. I just choose to use Chrome. Period.
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer
[16:54] <roasted> ActionParsnip: but... Chrome doesn't use flashplugin-installer I thought. They use PepperFlash.
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: chrome has pepper flash, so you don't need Adobe's thing
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: yes, so make the system simpler, it may cause issues to have it in
[16:55] <roasted> ActionParsnip: works now
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: magic huh ;)
[16:55] <roasted> ActionParsnip: post 4 of that link
[16:55] <roasted> ActionParsnip: just mv'd .config/google-chrome/PepperFlash to PepperFlash.bak, restarted Chrome, bam works.
[16:56] <roasted> ActionParsnip: appreciate the insight :D
[16:56] <roasted> ActionParsnip: got me some RHCP going on, happy camper at the moment.
[16:56] <ThinkT510> dennot: sudo fdisk -l
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: I have that folder in tempfs for speed. I'll know to just reboot to fix it :-)
[16:57] <dennot> ThinkT510, I can't boot, and my BusyBox doesn't have fdisk
[16:57] <ThinkT510> dennot: can you use a livecd/usb?
[16:58] <dennot> ThinkT510, cat /proc/partitions gives the same information, right?
[16:59] <ThinkT510> dennot: only one way to find out
[16:59] <Guest72320> 大家好
[16:59] <Guest72320> 有朋友 在吗
[17:00] <dennot> ThinkT510, it finds the partitions okay, and they have the correct sizes.  I'm trying to fix a "/dev/disk/by-uuid/... does not exist" error.
[17:00] <DJones> !test !cn > Guest72320
[17:00] <DJones> !cn > Guest72320
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> Dennot: does:  sudo blkid   not give what you need?
[17:02] <dennot> ActionParsnip, Ubuntu won't boot because it says /dev/disk/by-uuid/... does not exist, but in initramfs, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid says it does
[17:02] <dennot> blkid shows the correct UUID
[17:03] <hjuk> Hello, I'm having a problem with the networking on Ubuntu
[17:04] <hjuk> Here's the message I get: (process:2142): WARNING: Could not initialise NMClient /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager
[17:04] <hjuk> When I run the troubleshoot command in Terminal.
[17:04] <dydzEz2_>  how do i check which version of xubuntu im using in my llive cd
[17:04] <dydzEz2_> same command as ubuntu i imagine lol
[17:04] <dennot> dydzEz2_, Menu > Help
[17:05] <ThinkT510> dydzEz2_: lsb_release -sd
[17:05] <dydzEz2_> oh and it takes you to a webpage
[17:05] <dydzEz2_> crap i had the 12.10 CD that worked perfectly on my laptop, i guess i still need to test 12.04
[17:06] <dydzEz2_> thanks, yeah its 12.10 argh, alright time to make a 12.04
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> Dennot: could use the old style in fstab
[17:06] <nomike> hi
[17:07] <dennot> ActionParsnip, I tried using /dev/sda1 in fstab, but it gave the same results.
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> Dennot: have you fsck'd the partition.?
[17:07] <nomike> I'm having a very strange boot error on three machines. Everytime I boot, it displays the message that the disk drive for "/tmp" is not yet ready or present, and offers me the possibilities to wait, press "s" for skip or "m" for manual recovery.
[17:09] <dennot> ActionParsnip, no, I can try that.  This is part of a larger problem: it is a VM installation that boots fine on one host machine but gives a "/dev/disk/by-uuid/... does not exist" error on another, even though it is using an exact copy of the disk image.
[17:09] <dydzEz2_> if my live usb doesnt have any persistence space , will I fail to download packages like resistricted extras
[17:09] <funch> nomike did you tryed fsck ?
[17:09] <dydzEz2_> says check your internet connection, but its fine
[17:09] <nomike> When I do "m", enter the root password and run "ls /tmp" it displays hundreds of lines saying "ls: cannot access 510d3e51aa0bb: No such file or directory". After 1 to 5 minutes (not always the same) stuff is back to normal and "/tmp" is empty
[17:09] <dydzEz2_> oh wow the errors are actually 404 error not found
[17:10] <nomike> I don't have anything mounted on "/tmp" it's directly on the root-fs which is ext4 on a LVM on a SSF
[17:10] <nomike> s/SSF/SSD/
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> Dydez2: they will download and install,  he changes just won't stick between reboots
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> Dydez2: what's the output of: cat /etc/issue
[17:11] <dydzEz2_> wow nothing is installing
[17:11] <dydzEz2_> 1 sec
[17:11] <dydzEz2_> let me pastebin it
[17:11] <nomike> funch: I tried to reinstall the machine, so I doubt it's a FS error. Also I don't have those problems with other directory. Dunno, maybe ubuntu does some creepy stuff with it, like some tempfs stuff.
[17:11] <sobhan2> any one here know what ubuntu is planning to do for gnome 3.7 and logind ?
[17:12] <hjuk> Hi, Would anybody be able to help with this problem I'm having? --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/250636/cant-connect-to-internet-in-ubuntu
[17:12] <dydzEz2_> www.pastebin.com/QVBYqSHt
[17:13] <RigidWig> how can I best find out what's blocking incoming remote smtp/telnet connections to an ubuntu server?
[17:13] <dydzEz2_> i jjust got the same error on audacity download try
[17:14] <dydzEz2_>  Just tried "GeoGebra" and it says "The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[17:14] <dydzEz2_> geogebra:
[17:15] <dydzEz2_> and thats it, are you sure its not because its live?
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> Dydez2_: what is the output of:   cat /etc/issue
[17:15] <dydzEz2_> where is that at ActionParsnip
[17:16] <dydzEz2_> ill just type that in the terminal
[17:16] <nomike> RigidWig, you could check if you're able to telnet to those ports on "localhost". If this succeeds, try connecting to your external IP from within localhost. If this doesn't work, options are that either iptables is blocking access (try "iptables-save" and look at the output) or that the service is bound to the wrong interface).
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> Dydzez2_: yes, its a terminal command
[17:17] <dydzEz2_> 12.10 \n \1
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> !info geogebra
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> Fun
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> Dydzez2_: do you use a proxy for web access?
[17:18] <dydzEz2_> no, not at all
[17:18] <nomike> If this doesn't work chances are that the service is not running. Check with "netstat -tulpn"
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> Dydzez2_: if you run: sudo apt-get update     is it smooth?
[17:19] <Greenicus> Hello
[17:20] <dydzEz2_> let me try
[17:20] <dydzEz2_> so far  no errors
[17:20] <sobhan2> Greenicus: hi
[17:20] <dydzEz2_> smooth
[17:21] <dydzEz2_> oh wow
[17:21] <dydzEz2_> ActionParsnip it worked after i did apt-get update
[17:21] <roger21> why is my ubuntu 12.04.2 aren't the .2 be released in mid february
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> Dydzez2_: thought so
[17:21] <dydzEz2_> yeah i thought that might of worked when you mentioned it
[17:21] <dydzEz2_> thanks
[17:22] <roasted> Question - I don't have much experience with UPS units. When you get a UPS and it's running on battery, does it have to send a signal to the OS through USB or something in an effort to safely power down the system? If so, is there one that supports Ubuntu?
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> Dydzez2_: your package knowledge was outdated, so you reread the available files
[17:22] <tsimpson> roger21: 2 is just the second point release, they happen every 6 months for LTS releases
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: depends on the UPS, some support Linux
[17:22] <roger21> yeah that doesn't answer my question (at all)
[17:22] <dydzEz2_> yeah, thanks a lot ActionParsnip
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> Dydzez2_: no worries :-)
[17:23] <tsimpson> roger21: it does, it's not based on a month number
[17:23] <roger21> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule
[17:24] <ThinkT510> roger21: did you enable the proposed repo?
[17:24] <xangua> roger21: so you didn't read the release info in the update manager that said that was gonna change the number of version to 12.04.2 for upcoming updates¿
[17:25] <RigidWig> nomike, telnet localhost 25 returns http://i.imgur.com/QbOWYBS.png I'm wondering how I can ping telnet to my address (remote to the ec2 instance I am having trouble with) sinec I'm behind a router
[17:25] <vedic> From command prompt, how to upgrade 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS?
[17:25] <jrib> !upgrade | vedic
[17:25] <jrib> vedic: see the server instructions at the link ubottu has sent you
[17:26] <roger21> xangua, i have no idea what you're talking about, i don't use the download manager
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> Vedic: sudo do-release-upgrade   if memory serves
[17:26] <sp00ky> I'm trying to install evolution on 12.04 and receiving the following error:  http://pastebin.com/TMVaDvgu
[17:26] <nomike> RigidWig, your screenshot shows that the SMTP deamon is running correctly. So you can try connecting to your IP (e.g. <IP_ADDRESS>) and check if it works.
[17:26] <vedic> jrib: ActionParsnip: Is it safe to do do-release-upgrade? Any chances of server becoming unstable?
[17:27] <jrib> vedic: it's not supposed to of course, but you should have backups anyway
[17:27] <vedic> ActionParsnip: as I am doing it for remote server
[17:27] <llutz> roasted: there are several programs  handling ups, ilke upds,  powstatd,  nut, apcupsd etc. check those what ups-models they support
[17:27] <tsimpson> roger21: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/base-files/+changelog see the changelog
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> Vedic: I've not upgraded since hardy. I always clean install
[17:28] <nomike> RigidWig, If you're behind a router, i bet you mean you have a private range network (like "<IP_ADDRESS>", "<IP_ADDRESS>", "172.blah" or something). In this case you need to to NAT and forward port "25" from outside to your server. How this is done depends on the router you have...
[17:28] <GeekSquid> vedic: is this a cloud instance, or  physical machine
[17:28] <jhutchins_wk> ActionParsnip: You should try it.  You  can always clean install if you don't like what you get.
[17:28] <vedic> GeekSquid: Physical colocated machine
[17:29] <RigidWig> nomike, it seems telneting the ip of the ubuntu server doesn't work "trying #.#.#.# ..."
[17:29] <RigidWig> nomike, and that's from the server itself
[17:29] <RigidWig> nomike, (the public IP)
[17:29] <vedic> ActionParsnip: I don't think it would be possible to do clean install for 12.04 if all I have is ssh access of remote server
[17:29] <nomike> check with "ifconfig"
[17:30] <nomike> this shows the IP of the server itself
[17:30] <GeekSquid> vedic: I just got in the room, which versions are you upgrading from-to, and what services/application is the server running?
[17:30] <roger21> that so ridiculous... so we will make it the .2 latter but we will call your system .2 know just to be ready
[17:30] <roger21> is that it?
[17:31] <roger21> now
[17:31] <RigidWig> nomike, yes, if I use the inet address of eth0 to "telnet address 25", then it works
[17:31] <RigidWig> nokike, but doing so with the public IP does not. I was hoping to get the ubuntu server to listen to a remote connection so that I could use it as a mail server
[17:31] <nn0101> excellent. discrete graphics problem solved!
[17:32] <llutz> RigidWig: sudo lsof -i :25         on the server says what?
[17:32] <roger21> i should change my firefox version number to 20.4 just to be ready too
[17:32] <nomike> RigidWig, well, the public IP doesn't belong to your server. Only IP's listed in "ifconfig" belong to your server. As you've said that you are beind a router, I bet the public IP belongs to the router.
[17:33] <RigidWig> lluts http://i.imgur.com/salvoer.png
[17:33] <llutz> RigidWig: check "grep inet_interfaces /etc/postfix/main.cf"
[17:33] <roger21> and change the year to 2015 to be ready when it comes
[17:33] <GeekSquid> vedic: did you see my last question?
[17:33] <llutz> RigidWig: so it listens on all adresses
[17:33] <roger21> we are never too prepared you know
[17:33] <RigidWig> llutz: = all
[17:33] <nomike> RigidWig, and you need to tell your router what to do with incoming connections on port 25.
[17:33] <RigidWig> llutz I saw that on an online guide it still doesnt work though
[17:34] <vedic> GeekSquid: From 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS. If all services gets reset, thats fine. As I am looking for a way to do every thing clean install as much as possible
[17:34] <nomike> If you have multiple servers behind your router and someone connects to the public IP of the router on the SMTP port, how should the router decide to which server to forward the connection?
[17:34] <RigidWig> nomike, I'm sorry I probably said it worng, my home ip is behind a router, this server's ip (amazon ec2 isntance) is not, and it has a proper domain and public ip
[17:34] <nomike> RigidWig, ok..that's a different storry then..;-)
[17:34] <RigidWig> nomike when I was talking about being behind a router, I meant that I couldn't accept that server (ec2 instance)'s telnet on my home pc for testing purposes
[17:35] <RigidWig> nomike but I am just trying to get the server's smtp to listen publicly
[17:35] <RigidWig> llutz it seems that I can not connect to it on port 25 though, from a remote machine
[17:35] <llutz> RigidWig: mind to give the public IP here`
[17:35] <RigidWig> llutz so either another setting has to be changed for postfix, or something on the system is blocking that port?
[17:36] <llutz> RigidWig:master .....  *:smtp            < that says that postfix already listens on all adresses available, so its not a postfix config-issue
[17:36] <nomike> RigidWig, you can try to use netcat "nc" to create a listener on some other port and try to connect to it via telnet. (e.g. "nc -l -p 4711"). Maybe amazon is blocking the SMTP-Port somehow to prevent spammers. And you seem to be able to connect to ssh or something similar.
[17:36] <GeekSquid> vedic: I would install tasksel, use it to remove all services, essentially only ubuntu-server selected, then I would sudo apt-get update  & & sudo apt-get upgrade ... bringing everything up to the latest in the repos, then make sure it reboots with out a problem then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and you are on your way to a clean install of 12.04 lts
[17:37] <llutz> RigidWig: sudo iptables -vL
[17:37] <llutz> RigidWig: from outside it shows "25/tcp filtered smtp"
[17:38] <RigidWig> llutz http://i.imgur.com/l5zL0Tx.png (sorry for imager just a plugin that makes it faster than pastebin)
[17:39] <RigidWig> nomike, I can connect to ssh, and http (nginx), but I can't seem to get the smtp server to "ping" back...
[17:39] <GeekSquid> vedic: also make sure you don't have anything funky in /etc/apt/sources.list i.e. ppa'a or third party repositories
[17:39] <RigidWig> or should I saw respond...
[17:39] <RigidWig> *say
[17:39] <vedic> GeekSquid: As of now, I do have
[17:39] <vedic> third party repo
[17:39] <vedic> ppa
[17:39] <RigidWig> llutz does 25/tcp filtered smtp mean it responded?
[17:40] <llutz> RigidWig: no it means that there is no direct access to port 25, something filters
[17:40] <nomike> RigidWig, well I bet amazon blocks smtp or does something similar
[17:40] <nomike> try to reconfigure your mailserver to listen to another port and try if it works then...
[17:40] <GeekSquid> vedic: you will need to remove/backup those, and they may not work when you put them back in ... and i really hope none of those third party things have anything to do with your network card
[17:40] <RigidWig> hmm, let me check /postfix/master settings...
[17:40] <llutz> RigidWig: i don't know ec2 but i tend to agree to nomike that amazon does something strange there...
[17:41] <RigidWig> llutz and nomike they may very well be filtering out potential spammers, I'll see if I can get it listenning on another port
[17:41] <vedic> GeekSquid: I think I would need to keep at least one package to connect back to the server i.e. openssh server.
[17:41] <llutz> RigidWig: blocking port 25 to block spam is not very intelligent
[17:41] <vedic> GeekSquid: If I remove that as well then I don't think anybody would be able to save me from visiting remote location
[17:41] <RigidWig> llutz would there be another reason?
[17:42] <llutz> RigidWig: none i'd imagine
[17:42] <GeekSquid> vedic: absolutly, but openssh-server is part of the ubuntu base, so you won't have to remove it, although if you have a ssh Key defined you will have to disable it during the upgrade, because they could get replaced
[17:43] <vedic> GeekSquid: No, I just use password every time for ssh. no setup for keys to go password less ssh
[17:44] <GeekSquid> then you are fine, .. also install 'screen' so you can keep the terminal open while doing the process, makes it easy if you loose the connection to the server
[17:44] <cheebu> i have a built in mic... that all the sudden disapeared from my sound menu... can some one help with that?
[17:44] <GeekSquid> vedic: ^^^
[17:45] <NeoColossus> Hello all
[17:45] <GeekSquid> vedic: I understand where you are at, I have had to visit a few server-rooms too, not fun especially when people are relying on it
[17:45] <llutz> RigidWig: short google tells that amazon limits smtp-traffic but doesn't block by default.
[17:46] <NeoColossus> Is there a way to create a file with [`date +%D`] as the filename?
[17:46] <vedic> GeekSquid: Sure. Are you confirmed that dist-upgrade will lead 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS? or I need to do: do-release-upgrade ?
[17:46] <llutz> NeoColossus: touch $(date +'%D')
[17:46] <GeekSquid> vedic: standby
[17:46] <atu> Hi, could anybody help with RADI1 partition size issues on ubuntu 12.10 ?
[17:46] <RigidWig> llutz, I guess it's possible, though I haven't sent/recieved any mail from it and it's just me testing on the server. Could be because it's a free tier...
[17:46] <llutz> NeoColossus: whoops sry, / isn't allowd char in filenames
[17:47] <llutz> RigidWig: as i said, i don't know ec2
[17:47] <RigidWig> llutz: apparently, me neither :)
[17:47] <NeoColossus> llutz: I need the actual filename to appear as "[mm/dd/yyyy]"
[17:47] <RigidWig> llutz and nomike thanks for your help guys, I'll see if I can find amazon settings or request more traffic on smtp
[17:48] <atu> Hi, could anybody help me, I've RADI1 partition size issues on ubuntu 12.10 ?
[17:48] <nomike> RigidWig, you're welcome
[17:48] <llutz> NeoColossus: forward-slash / is not allowed as a filenamepart
[17:49] <NeoColossus> llutz: Is there a way to have it appear as "[mm-dd-yyyy]" then?
[17:49] <xiaoy> Ìû
[17:49] <llutz> NeoColossus: touch $(date +'%m-%d-%Y')
[17:49] <GeekSquid> vedic: the correct process is sudo apt-get install update-manager-core ... then .... edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades .. and set Prompt=lts ... launch the upgrade tool: sudo do-release-upgrade ... this is the correct process after doing the checklist we have defined here
[17:50] <llutz> NeoColossus: touch \[$(date +'%m-%d-%Y')\]
[17:50] <asd123asdqwe> Hello everyone. I've compiled program, can see it with synaptic, but how do I run it?
[17:50] <NeoColossus> llutz: Thank you, that is exactly what I needed. :)
[17:50] <atu> nobody to help me for the RAD1 issue ?
[17:50] <vedic> GeekSquid: ok
[17:50] <GeekSquid> asd123asdqwe: what program
[17:50] <asd123asdqwe> Chess game
[17:50] <llutz> NeoColossus: be warned that filenames with chars like []  will cause trouble sooner or later
[17:51] <llutz> NeoColossus: its a bad idea
[17:51] <NeoColossus> llutz: It is localized to a specific folder. How is it bad?
[17:51] <asd123asdqwe> GeekSquid, chess game.
[17:51] <GeekSquid> asd123asdqwe: the actual name?
[17:52] <llutz> NeoColossus: those have special function in bash
[17:52] <NeoColossus> llutz: I am aware of this. All reference to the created file is through a script that will properly escape the '['
[17:53] <asd123asdqwe> GeekSquid, stockfish. After installation, package name is "src" and my description is "chess1".
[17:53] <llutz> NeoColossus: still, better to avoid them. just my 2 cts
[17:53] <asd123asdqwe> GeekSquid, btw, can I change package name later?
[17:54] <nearst> ima do-release-upgrade -d for jump to raring dev
[17:54] <NeoColossus> llutz: Thank you for the suggestion. I may just stick with touch $(date +'%m-%d-%Y')
[17:54] <cheebu> can anyone help me with my microphone issue? it stoped working and no longer listed in the sound menu
[17:55] <asd123asdqwe> GeekSquid, I can also see this package with ubuntu software center.
[17:56] <GeekSquid> asd123asdqwe: sounds like it's installed ... try CTRL-ALT-T and type stockfish <enter>
[17:56] <Kneferilis1> hello
[17:56] <asd123asdqwe> The program 'stockfish' is currently not installed.
[17:57] <Kneferilis1> I am connected to a linux with ssh and using vim arrow keys backspace and other keys insert characters like ? % etc, instead of doing their correct functionality, how do I fix this?
[17:57] <Kneferilis1> it also happens with pico and v
[17:57] <asd123asdqwe> GeekSquid, argh, I could simply install it with sudo apt-get
[17:58] <asd123asdqwe> GeekSquid, but anyway, if I already compiled it, i would like to run it.
[17:58] <Alocer> asd123asdqwe: what was the prefix ?
[17:58] <asd123asdqwe> GeekSquid, maybe there's folder where all compiled programs executables are being held?
[17:59] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, where?
[17:59] <nearst> why my C library is unknown?
[17:59] <Alocer> asd123asdqwe:  the prefix with configure when you compiled it.
[18:00] <xauth> Kneferilis1: make sure the TERM variable is set correctly for the terminal emulator you're using locally.
[18:01] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, I don't remember any prefixes, sorry. I only know that package name is src and my given description is chess1
[18:01] <Kneferilis1> it's the web client I am using
[18:02] <mario_> d
[18:02] <mario_> d
[18:02] <mario_> d
[18:02] <FloodBot1> mario_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:02] <Alocer> asd123asdqwe: well try reading the install file with the src file . you should recompile it.
[18:03] <Kneferilis1> it was the web client causing the problems
[18:03] <Kneferilis1> but now in putty I press delete and it doesn't work
[18:03] <Alocer> can i laugh ?
[18:04] <guideX> my screen resolution is stuck at 800x600
[18:04] <guideX> how do I change it
[18:04] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, ok.
[18:04] <guideX> also how do you enable the scrollbars
[18:04] <xauth> Kneferilis1: web client? I thought you said ssh.
[18:04] <guideX> in unity 12.10
[18:05] <Alocer> guideX: first configure your x11 using "man xorg.conf"
[18:05] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, Done. The new package has been installed and saved to
[18:05] <asd123asdqwe>  /home/alexander/Desktop/stockfish-231-linux/src/src_20130202-1_i386.deb
[18:05] <asd123asdqwe>  You can remove it from your system anytime using:
[18:05] <asd123asdqwe>       dpkg -r src
[18:05] <asd123asdqwe> Oh, sorry.
[18:06] <guideX> ok checking it out..
[18:06] <Alocer> :P
[18:06] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, so, deb package installed again.
[18:06] <guideX> alocer..
[18:07] <guideX> is there a way we can do the other thing first? I cannot scroll past page 1
[18:07] <Alocer> guideX:  i think your main problem is graphic driver
[18:07] <guideX> oic
[18:07] <Alocer> guideX:  I m not an expert ...
[18:08] <guideX> yeah me either :/
[18:08] <guideX> <- lame windows user
[18:08] <yugnip> guideX, no worries, you'll be a ubuntu power-user in no time :)
[18:08] <Tuxmascot> What command transfers an iso to a usb drive?
[18:09] <yugnip> Tuxmascot, dd
[18:09] <Tuxmascot> What is the syntax?
[18:09] <Tuxmascot> dd if=??? ???
[18:09] <Tuxmascot> I forgot the entire thing
[18:10] <asd123asdqwe> cp stockfish /usr/local/bin        cp: cannot stat `stockfish': No such file or directory        could this be a problem?
[18:10] <roger21> i need to fsck all my drive what small live cd can i use?
[18:10] <yugnip> Tuxmascot, sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/whatever
[18:10] <roger21> drives
[18:11] <roger21> does the mini iso include a prompt thingy with basic rescue commands?
[18:13] <nearst> ouch
[18:14] <l057c0d3r> well..  took my lubuntu iso i had.. installed it.. then turned around and uninstalled all desktop apps , lxde, lightdm, and openbox....  got it back down to terminal...  then installed gnome and cairo-dock.... and i have to say.. this is the best looking linux system i have built yet :-).
[18:14] <l057c0d3r> loving the gnome(classic) with compiz / cario-dock combo..  no gnome panels.. just cairo-dock...
[18:15] <yugnip> Tuxmascot, extensive explanation of dd http://www.forensicfocus.com/linux-dd-basics
[18:16] <asd123asdqwe> Guys?
[18:16] <cheebu> can some one help me with my sound card? My mic doesent want to work...
[18:16] <yugnip> l057c0d3r, you may already now this, but you could have kept lubuntu desktop and just installed Cairo as a session. that way you can have both :P
[18:16] <cheebu> maybe reinstall all the audio drivers?
[18:16] <l057c0d3r> now if i can just get this netflix ppa to work like they said it does...  and this will be the best linux setup i've put together
[18:17] <xiaoy> Ìû
[18:17] <Alocer> anyine uses cairo dock in 12.10
[18:17] <l057c0d3r> yugnip, yeah.. but i like the gnome application menu better..
[18:17] <Alocer> with unity ?
[18:18] <Physicist> Greetings! Plaese, how do I change, to log without roo!
[18:18] <Physicist> Greetings! Plaese, how do I change, to log without roo!
[18:18] <Physicist> Greetings! Plaese, how do I change, to log without roo!
[18:18] <FloodBot1> Physicist: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:18] <l057c0d3r> and i'm trying to keep the system as small as i can.. so i dropped all the other junk like lxde i didn't need
[18:18] <l057c0d3r> Alocer, yeah.. i tried it out....   but settled on using gnome with it instead..
[18:19] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, you ran out of ideas or my question is too stupid to answer?
[18:20] <Alocer> asd123asdqwe: actually i m a noob myself. but the thing is your question needs more information
[18:21] <Alocer> asd123asdqwe: generally when u compile a src file the binary file goes to /usr/local/... and etc
[18:21] <Alocer> asd123asdqwe: but you build  a deb package with a src file which i have no idea what is going on there .
[18:21] <Alocer> asd123asdqwe: so accept my sympathy
[18:23] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, src is just name of package. Kinda stupid name.
[18:23] <Alocer> r u compiling this : stockfishchess.org/ ?
[18:24] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, yes.
[18:24] <l057c0d3r> k quick question.  is there a way i can save output from terminal to a text file..  and display it on the terminal at the same time...
[18:24] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, downloaded linux version compiled using make and sudo checkinstall
[18:25] <nearst> l057c0d3r, , command >> output
[18:25] <cheebu> can any one help me with sound problems?
[18:25] <l057c0d3r> k so two >> instead of one
[18:25] <l057c0d3r> heh noticed that one > put the output in the text file  but didn't display
[18:25] <Alocer> asd123asdqwe:  ( http://support.stockfishchess.org/kb/advanced-topics/compiling-stockfish-on-linux  )u have read this didnt you ?
[18:25] <ioria> one overwrites
[18:27] <ioria> or use 'cat' >
[18:27] <dch> l057c0d3r: you want tee.
[18:27] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, argh. I've seen this when I was running make. Thank you. Try #2
[18:27] <Alocer> asd123asdqwe:  np :P
[18:28] <Alocer> ioria: u mean command | cat output.txt ?
[18:28] <l057c0d3r> dch,  yes i would love some tea  :-P  tee you say
[18:28] <l057c0d3r> k so >> appends it to the file instead of overwriting.. but still no display on the terminal.. just to the text file
[18:28] <dch> l057c0d3r: coffee for me please, no sugar or milk. like this:  cat stuff | tee --append otherfile | more
[18:29] <ioria> Alocer : yes
[18:29] <dch> cat stuff >> otherfile won't display anything on the term. you're appending stuff to otherfile, not duplicating io.
[18:29] <ryeth> hello all
[18:30] <ioria> Alocer : better... cat file | command > file
[18:30] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, so all I've needed to do is make profile-build ARCH=x86-32. Will be more observant next time, thanks again.
[18:30] <l057c0d3r> dch.. what i really am trying to do is keep a log of packages installed when running install..  that way if say it doesn't work.. or i decide to remove.. it makes making sure all dependencies brought in get removed easily
[18:30] <dch> l057c0d3r: tee.
[18:30] <ryeth> i'm using irssi on ubuntu and curious, how do i view multiple chat channels on here?
[18:30] <tonsofpcs> ryeth: alt+window number or alt+a to next active window
[18:31] <tonsofpcs> you *could* split windows, but it's a pita and generally not worth it imo.
[18:31] <ryeth> thank you, tonsofpcs
[18:31] <tonsofpcs> also, look at /help window
[18:31] <nearst> :)
[18:31] <MadsRC> Afternoon folks
[18:32] <dch> after finding that libyajl2 isn't present on 12.0.4 or earlier, I built it by hand. How can I tell another source build (collectd actually) to use my hand-built one in preference?
[18:32] <l057c0d3r> dch  so something like this...  sudo apt-get install (package) | tee (log file)
[18:32] <dch> is there some flags I can export or something?
[18:32] <dch> l057c0d3r: \o/ perfect!
[18:33] <dch> l057c0d3r: personally I'd use --append in there as well.
[18:33] <dch> and a more knowledgeable person will probably tell you there's a way to dump the dependencies directly from the package name.
[18:33] <FlowRiser> QUESTION: Anyone knows where i can find some advice/help on implementing a waveform visualization in c/cpp ?
[18:33] <l057c0d3r> not worried about that.. because i was going to use a different log file for each app..
[18:33] <l057c0d3r> for easier reading later if needed
[18:34] <dch> l057c0d3r: I could have done with that today, I am swimming in package hell atm.
[18:34] <c00kee> is anyone running chrubuntu on their acer chromebook
[18:36] <l057c0d3r> dch,   yeah.. i've had that problem in the past.. thats why i am working on a solution on this fresh custom install :-)
[18:36] <Alocer> asd123asdqwe: do you have anything to say related to success ?
[18:37] <MadsRC> Anyone here administers several mail servers?
[18:38] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, installed successfully, no GUI, can't find list of commands.
[18:38] <Alocer> can someone tell me what is meta package? ?  the diff between vlc meta package and vlc package ?
[18:39] <Alocer> asd123asdqwe: gz then :-)
[18:40] <janisozaur> !ot
[18:40] <kunji> Alocer: A meta package is not really a package, it's more like a list of dependencies to install a group of packages.  I don't know off hand everything in the vlc meta package though
[18:41] <Alocer> ty kunji . i just cant get what is meta package even i googled . thanx
[18:43] <asd123asdqwe> Alocer, yay, found addons that enable gui in software center.
[18:43] <Alocer> good luck then asd123asdqwe

[18:56] <ThinkT510> nikkkola: probably better to ask in #winehq tell them what game too
[18:56] <lombardo> nikkkola: if it was windows I would do a ALT + Enter
[18:56] <StinkyFeet> axisys: I shut down all browsers, then: sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer
[18:57] <StinkyFeet> Then it failed in FF too. Then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[18:57] <axisys> Chromium works fine
[18:57] <StinkyFeet> And it works in Chrome from the google PPA as well

[19:10] <guideX> is there a way to get the scrollbars back? I know there's a  way with gnome, but what about unity
[19:10] <guideX> i'm not sure why they are missing lol
[19:10] <lombardo> they are there guido
[19:11] <guideX> but they're .. not.
[19:11] <guideX> I see no scrollbars anywhere
[19:11] <lombardo> jusr hidden, but they appear when mouse over
[19:11] <sote> my opinion... unity is a nightmare ... but why did I log into KDE Plasma .. now gotta learn it
[19:11] <guideX> nah I don't see any when I go over there
[19:11] <guideX> it is
[19:12] <lombardo> guideX: just change the theme
[19:12] <sote> the DE you mean ?
[19:12] <lombardo> the window theme
[19:12] <sote> oh
[19:12] <lombardo> it must be in preferences
[19:13] <sote> might log into unity to try that
[19:13] <sote> in about 20 hours
[19:13] <guideX> there's one problem with that, I am stuck at 800x600 and I can't scroll down to click ok
[19:13] <guideX> so I can't see all of the window
[19:13] <lombardo> guideX: use TAB then hit enter
[19:13] <sote> have you installed restricted extras
[19:14] <lombardo> guideX: sucks to be you man
[19:14] <zykotick9> guideX: hold ALT and see if you can drag windows (not sure this works in unity)
[19:14] <guideX> hmm
[19:14] <guideX> hmm ok
[19:14] <lombardo> guideX: just killall -9 gdm or something
[19:14] <lombardo> guide... use windowmaker
[19:14] <lombardo> guideX: use blackbox
[19:14] <guideX> hmm ok
[19:15] <netherwolfe> quideX: to alt + click and drag in unity, you have to click with the middle scroll button.
[19:15] <zykotick9> lombardo: 1) don't use -9 unless you have to 2) gdm is old, lightdm is more likely
[19:15] <lombardo> guideX: xrandr -s 1024x768
[19:15] <netherwolfe> wait
[19:15] <netherwolfe> i lied. that's just to resize ...
[19:15] <lombardo> zykotick9: right
[19:15] <guideX> hmm it said no process found
[19:15] <guideX> gdm: no process found
[19:15] <sote> guide_x just unplug your computer pull the cover off and pull out the video card, wait 10 seconds, put it back in and put the cover back on n turn the power back on annd start the computer then open terminal and do an update and upgrade
[19:16] <lombardo> guideX: unity sucks.. you cannot even get rid of it
[19:16] <guideX> lol it's virtual heh
[19:16] <guideX> there is no video card
[19:16] <lombardo> playing in vmware?
[19:16] <guideX> just tryin gto do some php dev in virtualbox
[19:16] <sote> Gnome is close to the unity dash, it's just as cool
[19:16] <guideX> for a project which requires linux
[19:17] <lombardo> guideX: just get on console and do your thing there: CTRL ALT F1
[19:17] <sote> I don't know virtual, was always a nightmare so always just installed the live cd instead
[19:17] <guideX> bleh, I suck at vi
[19:18] <guideX> i'm better in gedit
[19:18] <guideX> but I have to be able to scroll too heh
[19:18] <lombardo> guideX: install joe... thats a reasonable editor
[19:18] <sote> use youtube to your advantage
[19:18] <ThinkT510> guideX: nano to the rescue
[19:18] <cowboydren> Can someone show me how to troubleshoot this USB storage slowness? I have a drive, Nautilus is reporting 1MB/sec; this disk moves more like 30MB/sec with Windows.
[19:19] <Martin02> I have a permissions 'love triangle' I'd like some assistance with if someone has the time to point me in a direction.ty
[19:19] <guideX> there must be some way to get "normal" scrollbars back
[19:19] <guideX> without switching to gnome or something
[19:19] <sote> do you use a mouse wheel ?
[19:19] <guideX> yeah but it's not working either
[19:20] <guideX> it does not utilize the scrollwheel
[19:20] <ioria> ThinkT510: do you know, by chance, if nano can display the the numbers of the lines ?
[19:20] <ThinkT510> ioria: good question, i think it can be made to yes
[19:21] <lombardo> guideX: ... i told you the way.. go to preferences, and change the window theme
[19:21] <sote> ahh but this is the fun part about Linux ..... to work out the bugs and faults
[19:21] <guideX> I cannot
[19:21] <guideX> I can't get to the dropdownbox heh
[19:21] <sote> or user settings in most cases
[19:21] <ioria> ThinkT510: thanks, i'll dig in the man page
[19:21] <zykotick9> ioria: you should learn a "real" editor.  vi(m) or emacs choice is yours.  ;)
[19:22] <twoshot_> martin02, i won't be answering... i'm going get food, but just ask the question
[19:22] <lombardo> guideX: sudo apt-get install joe
[19:22] <guideX> hmm ok
[19:22] <lombardo> guideX: open yur text files in that in terminal
[19:22] <vm325> hi all
[19:22] <lombardo> guideX: better yet, drop on console, and use joe there
[19:23] <ioria> zykotick9: emacs is great but very hard
[19:24] <sote> likes the Ubuntu Commercial 2012 youtube video
[19:24] <hackoo> I have a 8 GB USB drive and I want to install ubuntu 12.04 LTS in it. I tried to install but how can I use complete 8 GB for my Ubuntu, I mean I need all 8 GB persistent storage.
[19:24] <Martin02> udisk2 mounts my big 1T USB under /media/[username]/FreeAgent Drive, but sets permissions so that motion is not permitted to write there.
[19:24] <ioria> zykotick9: and i cannot use it in command line
[19:24] <Martin02> Motion is running as a dameon via init.d
[19:25] <nikkkola> hackoo, I'm not sure I understood you well. What is what you want?
[19:25] <zykotick9> ioria: emacs has a terminal version!  good heavens...
[19:25] <ioria> zykotick9: in txt mode i mean
[19:25] <cowboydren> hackoo: You're booting from one USB drive, and installing to the 8GB USB drive?
[19:26] <ioria> zykotick9: tell me please...
[19:26] <sote> hackoo:  it worked fine with Ultimate Edition 3.5 on 8gb usb stick
[19:26] <Martin02> How do I configure the 1TB drive to permit motion to write jpg's and swf's to that drive?
[19:26] <hackoo> cowboydren: yes. I have installed ubuntu in my USB drive and its 8 GB drive.
[19:26] <zykotick9> ioria: find it yourself "apt-cache search emacs" might help.
[19:26] <cowboydren> hackoo: so where's your problem? Too many partitions?
[19:27] <lombardo> Martin02: you need to mount that drive with the right umask to permit regular users to write
[19:27] <hackoo> cowboydren: actually when I do df -h , it shows 4 GB storage. I want it too use all USB space so that I have enough space in it for OpenStack setup.
[19:28] <cowboydren> I don't know anything about openstack. Sounds like the partition was created improperly before the installation.
[19:28] <hackoo> cowboydren: I want to setup this 8 GB USB for openstack installation. Just for learning purpose.
[19:28] <Martin02> udisk2 is dong the mounting, so not sure how to set the umask in this scenario
[19:28] <sote> just my pc wouldn't recognise the usb on start up so had to call it a floppy and change some settings in the bios so it would boot up from usb as a floopy drive
[19:28] <sote> floppy*
[19:30] <hackoo> cowboydren: In installed Precise Pangolin in my 8 GB USB drive though Universal-USB-Installer-<IP_ADDRESS>.exe
[19:30] <zykotick9> Martin02: can i assume this is a NTFS/FAT formatted drive?
[19:30] <sote> that was a fun task, but now I no longer use UE 3.5 or UE 3.4 ... gaane back to base Ubuntu 12.04.1
[19:30] <cowboydren> hackoo: I use Linux Live USB installer.
[19:31] <hackoo> cowboydren: ok
[19:31] <cowboydren> hackoo: I've used it on USB drives up to 16GB.
[19:31] <hackoo> earlier I was using unetbooin
[19:31] <hackoo> ok
[19:31] <Martin02> zykotick: yes, Seagat FreeAgent drive.  I don't believe it is a NTFS issue. the normal user can R/W fine.
[19:31] <cowboydren> hackoo: linuxliveusb.com
[19:32] <hackoo> yeah. just opened this page.
[19:32] <ioria> zykotick9: emacs23-nox ?
[19:33] <zykotick9> ioria: that would make sense.  i don't use emacs myself.
[19:33] <cowboydren> hackoo: but something else I've done is use LiLi to create the installer, then have another USB stick handy, boot from the LiLi stick and then -install-to- (not live mode) the second stick.
[19:33] <jragon> Every time I want to watch a flash video on flash I have to use 'killall pulseaudio' otherwise it goes really quickly.
[19:33] <guideX> so is there any way to increase screen size from 800x600 for virtual box?
[19:33] <ioria> zykotick9: ok, i'll try :-P
[19:33] <hackoo> cowboydren: nice idea
[19:34] <guideX> I do have the tools installed for virtual box, but the max screen size is 800x600
[19:34] <cowboydren> hackoo: it reduces the number of steps to get the system up and running. You don't have to select "Install Ubuntu or Try Ubuntu"
[19:34] <hackoo> cowboydren: but not sure if while installation it make change in your MBR.
[19:35] <cowboydren> hackoo: It's a question you can change during the install process.
[19:35] <hackoo> cowboydren: yes. live install takes ages to boot.
[19:35] <Martin02> zykotick9: yes NTFS or FAT drive (whatever default is for Seagate FreeAgent 1 TB single partition drive)
[19:35] <hackoo> yes
[19:35] <sote> is now watching the video titled "How to Change Screen Resolution in Virtualbox" on Youtube
[19:35] <guideX> ill check that out
[19:36] <cowboydren> hackoo: You actually must handle the disk partitions and boot loader manually; you don't want to create a swap partition on a USB drive, and there's no need for the extended partition the installer tries to create.
[19:36] <hackoo> cowboydren: you do all this on Mac ?
[19:36] <jey> hi, in Unity for some reason my X-Chat instance sometimes doesn't get a hotkey number assigned to it even though it looks like it should be numbered "6" based on its position in the list on the launcher/dock thing
[19:36] <cowboydren> hackoo: No, I don't have a mac.
[19:36] <sote> been telling everyone to ask the same questions they ask in here also on youtube
[19:36] <jey> (I mean the thing where you hold down some meta key (WinKey?) and press a digit to switch to that application)
[19:36] <hackoo> cowboydren: so you also do it on PC.
[19:37] <cowboydren> hackoo: for what it's worth, yes.
[19:37] <hackoo> cowboydren: nothing..
[19:37] <dragonfly> Hey guys. I just screwed up the mysql-server by deleting the root user accidentally
[19:37] <dragonfly> Can anyone help ?
[19:37] <sote> guideX: will I get in trouble for posting a video link here --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBAbcwsKog8
[19:38] <hackoo> cowboydren: without swap is it fine ?
[19:38] <guideX> hmm i'm watching
[19:38] <guideX> and trying...
[19:38] <cowboydren> hackoo: if you have over 2GB, it's absolutely fine. How much RAM does that system have?
[19:39] <hackoo> cowboydren: 4 GB
[19:39] <ioria> zykotick9: yes it is. but it removes emacs23 in visual mode... :-(
[19:39] <cowboydren> Perfect.
[19:39] <hackoo> :-)
[19:39] <zykotick9> ioria: sorry.  i didn't anticipate that...  my bad.
[19:40] <cowboydren> hackoo: my laptop has 8GB of physical ram and it uses an SSD. I have no need for swap. ;)
[19:40] <hackoo> cowboydren: when we do direct install on system HD, we create swap of double size of RAM . In my case 8 GB swap partition.'
[19:40] <ioria> zykotick9: maybe i can install xemacs... i'll see
[19:40] <hackoo> cowboydren: nice.
[19:40] <hackoo> cowboydren: which laptop do you have ?
[19:40] <cowboydren> hackoo: it's junk.  Pretty normal for $350 USD.
[19:42] <hackoo> :-)
[19:42] <cowboydren> I don't even have a dual-core CPU.
[19:42] <hackoo> but you have 8 gigs mem and SSD
[19:42] <sote> ok a question from me> Ubuntu 12.04.1 - what would be the better firewall ? using Graphical user interface for ufw now so do I already have the better firewall ?
[19:43] <hackoo> cowboydren: I used to use it http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[19:43] <cowboydren> hackoo: True. $50 on the RAM, and $100 for the SSD. I actually got the laptop for $300, so I'm still only $450 into it.
[19:43] <hackoo> ok
[19:43] <koustuvsinha> hey pls anybody.. pls help.. here is my question http://askubuntu.com/questions/250680/ubuntu-12-04-dell-inspiron-n4050-very-odd-wifi-problem
[19:44] <cowboydren> hackoo: funny you should mention it, I'm actually replacing this laptop with an old iMac soon. :)
[19:44] <cowboydren> A 17" white iMac, Intel Core2 Duo.
[19:45] <hackoo> cowboydren: I spent $0. Actually my old laptop Dell Inspiron is Dead.. I was chasing Fedora releases on that from 2006 to 2010. Now I have my official laptop so I cant do much on it otherwise I would have deleted its Winblowsl.
[19:45] <koustuvsinha> any1?
[19:46] <cowboydren> koustuvsinha: I'm not a kernel expert, but I'd try going backward one release.
[19:46] <cowboydren> Maybe two releases.
[19:47] <koustuvsinha> my problem is: my ubuntu 12.04 cannot connect to my home wifi network... however it can connect to a hotspot of my smartphone... my wifi is however can be connected by windows 7
[19:47] <koustuvsinha> @cowboy however i could do wifi for last 1 ye in this ubuntu 12.04
[19:48] <koustuvsinha> problem started just 2 days back
[19:48] <koustuvsinha> after a software update
[19:48] <cowboydren> koustuvsinha: It sounds like a kernel update broke your Broadcom driver.
[19:48] <cowboydren> Try an older kernel.
[19:48] <tomreyn> i have a similar issue, but i'm using a wired connection: for a few days now (roughly 5), network -manager fails to start on boot on this ubuntu 12.10 system.
[19:48] <koustuvsinha> i reinstalled my broadcom driver too but of no use
[19:49] <cowboydren> koustuvsinha: When GRUB2 shows up, try selecting an older kernel. If it boots and WiFi connects, you've found the problem.
[19:49] <tomreyn> is this a widespread issue?
[19:49] <hereticsound> Hey guys, I haven't used Ubuntu in a while ever since 12.04 wouldn't install on my pc, is 12.10 any better or should I not even bother?
[19:49] <koustuvsinha> how to select older kernel?
[19:49] <cowboydren> koustuvsinha: It's in the list when you boot.
[19:49] <koustuvsinha> grub has two ubuntu options
[19:49] <cowboydren> koustuvsinha: Hmm. Only two.
[19:49] <ThinkT510> hereticsound: only one way to find out
[19:49] <dragonfly> hereticsound: Go for 12.04, Its LTS and 12.10 have a lot of problems
[19:50] <cowboydren> koustuvsinha: Mine always has 6 or 8. :)
[19:50] <koustuvsinha> actually i only had 1st time installed 12.04 in this laptop
[19:50] <sote> unplug the Internet cable and plug it back in...  also has a dead modem issue daily but I take it as the usb port dying so I change ports
[19:50] <hereticsound> ThinkT150: true just didn't want to waste my time.

[19:51] <koustuvsinha> pls tell me dn how to revert back to old kernel
[19:51] <hereticsound> i may just build a ground up new amd system for use with ubuntu.
[19:51] <Martin02> lombardo: how do I do set umaks with udisk2?
[19:51] <ThinkT510> hereticsound: without knowing what went wrong and what hardware you have its pretty hard to answer whether 12.10 will work better

[19:53] <tomreyn> i'm using a wired connection: for a few days now (roughly 5), network-manager fails to start on boot on this ubuntu 12.10 system. is this a known / widespread issue?

[19:54] <hereticsound> ThinkT150: it's an old stock compaq that i put a new stick of ram and a video card into, I have thought about a system 76 or other pc with 12.10 or 12.04 pre-installed. but i don't know if that would be any better than just building a custom amd machine.

[20:04] <kunji> pnkbst: I think it's in 12.10
[20:05] <zombie05> hello folks
[20:05] <javier_> hi
[20:05] <pnkbst> kunji: oic
[20:06] <zombie05> anyone down to lend a hand with wireless drivers?
[20:06] <ThinkT510> zombie05: lspci
[20:06] <pnkbst> I misread the news about "uefi rewritten to boot all linux versions" that was outtoday
[20:06] <sote> great, something new to read and learn https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI
[20:07] <sote> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m03RcFkSIA8     How to setup wireless network with Ubuntu
[20:08] <zombie05> BCM43130x4727
[20:09] <zombie05> i already found the driver
[20:09] <zombie05> dropped the firmware where the instructions on linuxwireless say

[20:11] <zombie05> it*
[20:11] <mike160> hi anyone know how to repaired the package catalogue useing the ubuntu terminal
[20:11] <ThinkT510> zombie05: why are you rebuilding the kernel?
[20:11] <zombie05> probably misunderstood the instructions..
[20:11] <ThinkT510> mike160: sudo apt-get install -f

[20:12] <mike160> ThimkT510 ok thanks
[20:12] <elessar> exit
[20:13] <hackoo> Official ubuntu download pages show 32 bit version of Ubuntu Desktop download is recommended. Whey 64 bit is not recommended ?
[20:13] <zombie05> the driver supposedly is availble in kernals 3.2 and newer so it has instructions on how to turn on the driver via make menuconfig
[20:13] <hackoo> if someone have 64 bit h/w
[20:13] <ThinkT510> hackoo: just for those who don't know if they have a 64bit cpu
[20:15] <kunji> hackoo: It's mainly just so they don't need to bother explaining and people with 32 bit hardware don't screw up and get the 64 one.  But also there are still occasional things where the 32 bit is a bit more compatible.
[20:15] <sote> never tried the 32bit version
[20:16] <pnkbst> kunji: people who need 64-bit can also screw up and get the 32-bit version  :P
[20:17] <guideX> sote: do you know how to undo the command in that video, the vboxmanage command they use? I can't boot into linux at all now
[20:17] <hackoo> ThinkT510: OK. Suppose onw have 64 bit processer with 8 GB RAM and they install 32 bit Ununtu. So isn't there 4 GB RAM is unusable ...
[20:17] <hackoo> kunji: ^^
[20:17] <sote> no it was just a suggestion to look at
[20:17] <guideX> ah ok..
[20:18] <sote> hope you manage to get it working
[20:18] <ThinkT510> hackoo: you can use pae on 32bit to make use of the extra ram but any app won't be able to use above 4gb
[20:18] <mike160> ThinkT510 am geting with sudo apt-get install-f (E: Invalid operation install-f)
[20:18] <guideX> well I can't even get into the live cd now..
[20:18] <sote> teething issues
[20:18] <escott>  /join #c++
[20:18] <guideX> it just says "[ ok ]" in the corner
[20:18] <escott> sorry
[20:18] <ThinkT510> mike160: you missed the gap between install and -f
[20:18] <sote> :( i feel terrible  now
[20:19] <sote> sorry
[20:19] <hackoo> ThinkT510: yes. PAE. but I thought PAE is used when you have less RAM (<4GB) with 64 bit processor and 64 bit OS.
[20:19] <ThinkT510> hackoo: if you know you have 64bit then there is very little reason not to use it
[20:19] <mike160> ThinkT510 oh ok thats why sorry
[20:19] <ThinkT510> hackoo: no, pae is for 32bit
[20:19] <pnkbst> if you're testing php locally, your integer size will be different on 32-bit ubuntu
[20:20] <ThinkT510> !pae | hackoo
[20:20] <hackoo> ok
[20:21] <kostkon> ThinkT510, ubuntu comes with pae kernel by default now
[20:21] <sote> maybe go back to default settings and try again
[20:21] <kunji> Oh a new kernel... I'm a bit cautious about them now... as not all that long ago a new kernel broke my wireless in a bad way -_-, well hopefully this goes well.
[20:21] <ThinkT510> kostkon: i know
[20:22] <kostkon> :P
[20:22] <guideX> hmm trying to run more of those vboxmanage commands
[20:24] <tiededaniel__> yo
[20:24] <guideX> hi :(
[20:24] <sote> watching it again
[20:25] <guideX> sote i got it working again

[20:29] <zombie05> i have been at it for days i wouldnt come to irc otherwise
[20:29] <zombie05> :P
[20:29] <guideX> same
[20:29] <zombie05> i tend to troll so avoid opening myself  up for it lol :P
[20:29] <denny> hi... I'm running Gnome Classic on 12.10, alt + right click doesn't seem to be giving me the move (or anything else) options for panel icons, taskbar, etc - has that behaviour changed again?
[20:30] <guideX> wow it's exactly my screen res now, cool
[20:30] <guideX> I can see most everything
[20:30] <zombie05> ah that feeling of it finally works is amazing
[20:30] <sote> glad youtube had the video guideX
[20:30] <guideX> and I can scroll after disabling the non existing new scrollbar everyone says I should have heh
[20:31] <guideX> it was mainly the vboxmanage command which helped, unfortunetly I destroyed my ubuntu install, but not a problem, I made a backup :)
[20:31] <sote> have no idea man... google search found it
[20:32] <Martin02> anyone know how to set the default umask for new USB drives in udisk2?
[20:32] <guideX> the install of the tools blew it up the first time, because I already have the tools i guess?
[20:32] <Tex_Nick> denny : try SUPER+ALT Right Click
[20:32] <denny> Tex_Nick: is that the windows key?
[20:32] <Tex_Nick> denny : yes ... Super is windows key
[20:32] <sote> yes with the flag
[20:33] <LiquidDemocracy> I just got my new smart TV. In the manual it says that I can watch movies streamed from my PC. All I needed was a media server. Is there any program that I can use under Kubuntu?
[20:33] <zombie05> xbmc is dope
[20:34] <denny> Tex_Nick: that did it - thanks
[20:34] <sote> I don't have the ram to run xbmc smoothly
[20:34] <denny> if I have to hold down any more keys I might as well start using emacs
[20:34] <tomreyn> thanks sote, this is nothing new, though, and my issue looks more udev related
[20:34] <zombie05> upgrade?
[20:34] <denny> still, anything is better than using unity or gnome-shell  ;)
[20:34] <Tex_Nick> denny : you're welcome :-)
[20:34] <sote> cheers
[20:35] <rckrd> Hey guys.  I have transmission running on my ubuntu server.  But i'd like to use my desktop client (OS X) to monitor my torrents rather than the web interface.  Any ideas?

[20:36] <hackoo> I am downloading 64 bit Ubuntu iso and it's name have 'amd' in it (ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso) . I have Intel machine, so is this image is supported for Intel processors ?
[20:36] <zombie05> yes
[20:37] <zombie05> thats just the name for the 64bit arch
[20:37] <hackoo> why it have amd64 instead of x64 for intel.
[20:39] <zombie05> Prior to launch, "x86-64" and "x86_64" were used to refer to the instruction set. Upon release, AMD named it AMD64.[3] Intel initially used the names IA-32e and EM64T before finally settling on Intel 64 for their implementation. Some in the industry, including Apple,[4][5][6] use x86-64 and x86_64, while others, notably Sun Microsystems[7] (now Oracle Corporation) andMicrosoft,[8] use x64 while the BSD family of OSs and the Debian[9] Linu

[20:41] <genial> Hello! Allthough this isnt a direct ubuntu-question, i thought Id give it a shot: I added a 301 Permanent Redirect on my webserver (which is connected to the same router as I am) yesterday, and found out it wasn't working - removed it, restarted apache again, cleared browser cache, etc. Still I got hit with a timeout, which I guess originated from the 301 loop I created earlier. Now this is
[20:41] <genial> the situation: http://imagepastebin.appspot.com/d/ag9zfmltYWdlcGFzdGViaW5yFAsSDFVwbG9hZGVkRmlsZRjR8QkM - It's only when I try to do a loopback through the router that it fails. And ONLY on port 80+443. Swapping the router with another one resolves the issue aswell. Anyone have any insight or thoughts? Thank you!
[20:41] <hackoo> zombie05: nice info. Thanks bro.
[20:42] <zombie05> p
[20:42] <zombie05> np*\
[20:43] <hackoo> genial: Install Ubuntu in it.
[20:43] <hackoo> :D
[20:43] <genial> Well my webserver is running Ubuntu Server, so I guess it's not totally unrelated :)
[20:44] <genial> But I'm guessing this is more of a networking-issue
[20:44] <zombie05> ah i messed with ubuntu server and ended up going centos
[20:44] <hackoo> genial: ##networking
[20:44] <Tex_Nick> genial : if you don't get some help here, you might try ... #httpd or #ubuntu-server
[20:44] <zombie05> ubuntu i was fighting with while the centos box just worked. I have one running at my company running server and a db
[20:45] <hackoo> I love backtrack because it's based on Ubuntu.
[20:46] <zombie05> is that the only reason hacko?
[20:46] <hackoo> so BT5R3 is based on 12.04 LTS, it means BT5R3 will also get 5 years updates
[20:47] <hackoo> zombie05: not actully... but it's a important reason. :P
[20:47] <denny> genial: browsers cache redirects aggressively.  Kill your browser, make sure it's really dead, then start it again.  That generally fixes it for me.
[20:47] <hackoo> an*
[20:48] <zombie05> lol just checkin.. that metapolit ninja is just too sweet
[20:48] <denny> although that doesn't explain the router bit
[20:48]  * denny goes back to sleep
[20:48] <genial> denny: yeah been using Firefox which allows purging of cache, but still nothing. Even on the laptop i can go from the broken network over to 3G, hit refresh and suddenly it works.
[20:48] <denny> purging the cache won't clear a redirect
[20:48] <denny> don't ask me why, but they hang onto those like crazy

[20:49] <MarKsaitis> how do I launch configuration wizzards again for the packages I just installed?
[20:49] <reiligha> How come 12.04  is getting five years of support as apposed to three?
[20:49] <denny> something in the browser network layer, I guess
[20:49]  * hackoo going to install ubuntu in my 8 GB USB though live USB.
[20:50] <invariant> How do I install version 13.1 of fglrx on 12.04 via any method that works and has been tested by whoever answers the question? I am not interested in hearing things which you think work.
[20:50] <invariant> reiligha, because someone with money said so.
[20:50] <genial> denny: but are they cached per vhost, or per vhost AND local network (if that makes any sense). Since i can basically swap network connection on my workstation (have 2 active network outlets to same ISP) and voila!
[20:50] <kieppie1> invariant: what graphics card you using?
[20:51] <invariant> kieppie1, a HD5xxx series.
[20:51] <reiligha> invariant Is that the real reason or what you assume? :)
[20:51] <invariant> kieppie1, I already established that I need the driver.
[20:51] <kieppie1> yea - the drivers are a PoS
[20:51] <invariant> kieppie1, all I want now is to install it.
[20:51] <kieppie1> I've hat the same issue on my system
[20:51] <invariant> kieppie1, which issue?
[20:51] <kieppie1> there's a backported/reverse-engeneered driver
[20:51] <denny> genial: can you try on the broken network route, but with a browser that hasnt' been used to look at the site yet?
[20:52] <kieppie1> invariant: 1 mo'
[20:52] <Guest67836> why virtualbox rejects modules building for dkms?
[20:52] <Guest67836> with linux-image-generic
[20:52] <invariant> kieppie1, I do not want a reverse-engineered driver and a backported driver is the one from xorg-edgers.
[20:53] <invariant> kieppie1, xorg-edgers simply seems to lag behind, or have a different versioning scheme (real smart move... NOT).
[20:53] <kieppie1> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/makson96/fglrx/ubuntu quantal main
[20:53] <kieppie1> deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/makson96/fglrx/ubuntu quantal main
[20:53] <genial> denny: yeah did that a few hours ago (~20 hours after I reverted and restarted apache) - no luck unfortunately
[20:53] <invariant> kieppie1, I am sorry, but you didn't read my question.
[20:53] <kieppie1> invariant: ^^ this is the only one I could get working on my system
[20:53] <denny> genial: weird stuff  :)
[20:53] <invariant> kieppie1, you are referring to quantal, while I said 12.04.
[20:54] <invariant> kieppie1, but perhaps he also builds them for precise.
[20:54] <genial> denny: absolutely! starting to think my ISP is caching something, but when I swapped routers, it suddenly worked. could it be that my ISP is caching PER MAC-address? A bit far fetched maybe.
[20:54] <invariant> kieppie1, still, quite bad that more than two weeks after release, there is no official package.
[20:55] <kieppie1> invariant: prior to 12.10 I user the binary installer from the vendor. CLI gui installer failed, so had to generate the .deb from CLI & install manually
[20:55] <invariant> kieppie1, what? Are you saying that the generate deb step has ever worked for someone?
[20:55] <invariant> kieppie1, how?
[20:55] <kieppie1> yip
[20:55] <invariant> kieppie1, it has never worked for me.
[20:56] <OerHeks> fglrx 13.1 uses xorg 1.13 > http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2013/01/how-to-install-new-amd-catalyst-131.html and precise shipts with 1.12

[20:57] <Physicist> I cannot change my password from the grub - init=/bin/bash. Who have a sugestion?
[20:58] <invariant> OerHeks, the guy from your link has an inconsistent story.
[20:58] <Physicist> !password
[20:58] <invariant> OerHeks, where can I get some correct information?
[20:58] <OerHeks> invariant correct, he talks about downgrading, that is a mistake

[21:00] <LiquidDemocracy> I am trying to access a ushare directory in Ubuntu from my Smart tv but the smart tv says no playable media in this folder. any idea?
[21:00] <invariant> OerHeks, the least stable system component is created by AMD. This is common knowledge. Why do Ubuntu driver releases still lag then?
[21:01] <invariant> OerHeks, new upgrades are almost always better in the case of AMD.
[21:01] <OerHeks> I switched to nvidia

[21:04] <krabador> hi people, i need to test the video ram, how can i do it, with something like memtest86?
[21:05] <kieppie1> anyone able to assist me with the following issue, please? I'm running 12.10 & seeing this @ boot: "Starting NetBIOS name server                                          [fail]"
[21:06] <fellayaboy> can soemone help me ...this is kinda unrelated to ubuntu but theres a website called github and they have folder that im trying to download...how can i download the folder
[21:06] <krabador> kieppie1, what it causes'
[21:06] <krabador> ?
[21:07] <krabador> fellayaboy, you must install git
[21:07] <kieppie1> hi krabador: I'm seeing the error @ startup & want to get it to all-clear
[21:08] <fellayaboy> i did install git but now how do i get the folder
[21:08] <fellayaboy> i tried git https://github.com/simonsimons34/htc_utility_linux but nothing happened
[21:08] <genial> git clone user@url
[21:08] <fellayaboy> whos user..mine or his
[21:09] <genial> yours i'm guessing, never used github
[21:09] <kieppie1> krabador: config the daemon to start properly, or remove it if not nessiasary
[21:09] <denny> fellayaboy: github gives you the URLs
[21:09] <krabador> kieppie1, that's a no problem in fact
[21:09] <denny> fellayaboy: the one you want is 'git read-only' - so: git clone git://github.com/simonsimons34/htc_utility_linux.git
[21:10] <kieppie1> krabador: could you provide some  insight please?
[21:10] <krabador> kieppie1, netbios it's an old protocol session-like for network
[21:10] <serodronin> So I'm interested in giving ubuntu a go; I'm wondering is there an easy way to get a win7/ubuntu dualboot with leaving my windows drives untouched?
[21:10] <fellayaboy> aw man thank u then
[21:10] <krabador> kieppie1, some software can use it, then it would be better to leave it
[21:10] <kieppie1> krabador: is it nessiasary? is there some way to remove or disable it?
[21:11] <invariant> serodronin, VM or new harddisk or some partitioning knowledge.
[21:11] <mikehaas763> When did Ubuntu start using ext4 FS as the default?
[21:11] <serodronin> yeah I have a new harddisk
[21:11] <kieppie1> I'm running a POSIX network, with XBMC beeing the only host that might ever even remotely use it (& maybe android)
[21:11] <krabador> kieppie1, you can leave it from the boot script, but something in the future cannot work
[21:11] <mikehaas763> Nvm, I changed up my search keywords and found the answer
[21:12] <kieppie1> krabador: that's fine. where can I disable it? I'll reenable if anything needs it
[21:12] <invariant> What does this mean fglrx 12.10.5 [Jan 28 2013] ?  (dmesg output) In particular is this some twisted way of Ubuntu to output that it's really running 13.1?
[21:12] <brillopad> Anyone seen this issue before - Google is no help! Ubuntu installer can't see my 700GB Windows 7 partition. Wiped the PC, reinstalled Windows 7 and tried again - nothing! So Ubuntu wants to use the entirety of my 1TB hard disk. This happens in both EFI and non-EFI boots. Any ideas?
[21:13] <krabador> kieppie1, wait a moment
[21:15] <MartynKeigher> \cls
[21:15] <Walex> brillopad: that's extremely unlikely. Also note that probably the best sequence is install first Ubuntu and after that install MS-Windows
[21:16] <Walex> brillopad: do you happen to have *two* 1TB disks?
[21:16] <krabador> kieppie1, it's in build with samba
[21:16] <ThinkT510> Walex: other way around, windows first then ubuntu
[21:16] <zombie05> ^
[21:17] <krabador> kieppie1, it's really not recommended to uninstall it
[21:17] <zombie05> whenever i try to do something it errors out with the wrong headers where would i change that to reflect the correct one
[21:17] <Walex> brillopad: you know BTW that the installer also has virtual consoles with shells in it, so you can look around, and even partition manually
[21:17] <kieppie1> cheers
[21:17] <brillopad> Walex: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/09/21/tips-for-dual-booting-windows-and-linux/
[21:17] <brillopad> Walex: I know - but gparted and the Ubuntu installer can't see the partition.
[21:18] <brillopad> Neither can df or fdisk
[21:18] <zombie05> i ended up making a bunch of broken kernels i need to go into advanced and select the 3.5 one before i started the tinkering
[21:18] <zombie05> @boot.
[21:19] <Walex> brillopad: which version of MS-Windows?
[21:19] <brillopad> Win 7
[21:19] <kieppie1> thanks krabador: I don't like seeing errors @ by boot, but I'll guess I'll have to live with it.... :/
[21:20] <Walex> brillopad: maybe you are installing with GPT partitioning, but GNU/Linux support it. and even with GPT there should be a "fake" MBR style partition.
[21:20] <Walex> brillopad: do the partitioning tools see *any* partition?
[21:20] <brillopad> Walex: gparted warns me about this but I'm not using GPT. I'm using MBR style partitioning.
[21:20] <serodronin> so if I wanted to a dualboot with dual hard drives the safest way would be to unplug all current drives and than plug in new drive and install?
[21:20] <brillopad> Before installing Win 7 (using MBR) I wiped the disk completely clean
[21:21] <brillopad> Walex: None at all. Shows unallocated 931.51 GiB
[21:22] <kieppie1> bb 4 now
[21:22] <Walex> well, then use 'dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/... | od -x' to see if there is any non-zero data in the MBR.
[21:22] <brillopad> Walex: Interestingly enough, fdisk /dev/sda can now see the partition but gparted and the installer can't
[21:22] <brillopad> How bizarre
[21:23] <maxpolk> /dev/sda is a device, not a partition
[21:23] <Walex> brillopad: try also 'cfdisk' and 'sfdisk -d' for example
[21:24] <brillopad> cfdisk gives "Warning!! Unsupported GPT detected. Use GNU Parted'
[21:24] <IveBeenBit> Is there a terminal command I can use to search a directory recursively and return the path/filename of any file 3GB or larger? I tried ls -hRS but it still breaks it into subdirectories.
[21:24] <Walex> brillopad: ahhhhhhhh
[21:25] <jrib> IveBeenBit: find can do that
[21:25] <Walex> brillopad: maybe the partitioning is GPT after all.
[21:25] <brillopad> Walex: So confused! It's definitely MBR! :-/
[21:25] <Walex> brillopad: the tool 'disktype' can figure out many details. Also try with 'gdisk' to see if it is really GPT.
[21:26] <IveBeenBit> jrib, Thanks. I'll look through the man pages and try to figure it out
[21:26] <Walex> brillopad: one remote possibility is that your wipe left random data in sector 0, and this is confusing the partitioning programs.
[21:26] <brillopad> Walex: How can I fix sector 0 if that is the issue?
[21:26] <Walex> brillopad: as a rule, before partitioning it is a good idea to write 0s over the first 64KiB of the disk
[21:27] <brillopad> Walex: Gotcha. Anything I can do now without killing the data that's already on there?
[21:27] <brillopad> Walex: disktype shows /dev/sda as a 'DOS/MBR partition map'
[21:28] <brillopad> Walex: But at the bottom has an entry for a GPT partition map with 128 entries!
[21:28] <Walex> brillopad: well, if that's the issue, it is a bit painful, but very doable. You can save a copy of sector 0 for backup, make note of the existing partition start/end in sectors, zero just sector 0
[21:28] <Walex> brillopad: then probably it is GPT. Because when GPT is used, it is "wrapped" in an MBR partition for backwards compatibility.
 : find DIR  -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -r /bin/ls -lh | sort -k 5
[21:29] <brillopad> Walex: Gotcha.
[21:30] <Walex> brillopad: GPT is so much better than MBR anyhow. Nice alignment, etc.
[21:30] <brillopad> Walex: Which is fine, but won't allow me to install Ubuntu next to Win 7 at the mo
[21:30] <brillopad> Walex: Whether it's GPT or MBR, I'm fine as long as I can dual boot. Looking at gdisk now to see if that can help me. Any thoughts on that?
[21:31] <jrib> IveBeenBit: you want to look at the -size flag
[21:31] <Walex> brillopad: that shouldn't be a problem, 'gdisk' should be fine. Surprised that 'gparted' does not work though.
[21:31] <brillopad> Walex: Weirdest issue I've ever had with Ubuntu (or Linux in general for that matter)!
[21:32] <IveBeenBit> jrib, maxpolk thanks, guys. I know there's a probably an easier way to do this, but I like to learn more about terminal commands. This helps
[21:32] <maxpolk> brillopad I found that if you use Windows itself to boot Linux it's a lot less messy.  You install not to the device root partition but to the /boot partition.  Then use Windows Neosmart EasyBCD to point to Linux and choose it when Windows first starts.
[21:32] <brillopad> Walex: gdisk reports no partitions in GPT
[21:33] <Walex> brillopad: very strange indeed.
[21:33] <brillopad> Walex: How can I kill the GPT side of things?
[21:34] <brillopad> Walex: gdisk can see the MBR partitions, btw
[21:34] <Walex> brillopad: if it is a real GPT situation bad news. Otherwise it could be just that you did not preventively zero out sector 0 and various tools read random data from it.
[21:34] <Walex> brillopad: if it is a real GPT situation bad news. Otherwise it could be just that you did not preventively zero out sector 0 and various tools read random data from some fields that should have been zero.
[21:35] <brillopad> Walex: Going to note down the start/end info for the partitions now and will try the zeroing fix
[21:35] <unstable> In skype, how can I use my  microsoft lifecam microphone, instead of my built in Lenovo laptop microphone? Inside skype options at 'sound devices', the only options for 'Microphone' are 'PulseAudio server (local)'. this goes to the lenovo laptop microphone by default, which is not as good quality as the  lifecam one.
[21:36] <brillopad> Walex: Do I use fdisk to reinstate the partitions? And will it kill the data on the disk after they've been added back in?
[21:36] <Walex> brillopad: try 'dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/... | od -x -Ad' and put it on paste.ubuntu.com so we can have a look
[21:36] <brillopad> Walex: Will do!
[21:37] <brillopad> Walex: The first few bytes are 00 if that's any help - uploading now
[21:37] <Walex> brillopad: you can use 'fdisk' to recreate. The MBR has just a table, editing it does not change anything on the reset of the disk.
[21:37] <Gerowen> Has anybody else had Chrome stop recognizing Flash in the past day or two?
[21:37] <brillopad> Walex: paste.ubuntu.com/1602759/

[21:38] <WindowsGudLinuxN> chrome takes up lot of ram. gone back to ffox
[21:38] <brillopad> Walex: Think that's the offset!!
