[07:36] <histo> Seriously I can't open this mentos gum container wth
[07:36] <dr_willis> aguuu:  most likely best to stick to 12.04 for that.
[07:36] <histo> aguuu: 12.04 server
[07:36] <dr_willis> why you need to run your own dns server...  :)
[07:37] <aguuu> histo: dr_willis, I have heard that ubuntu server, unlike ubuntu desktop, is mostly for advanced users. is that true?
[07:38] <histo> aguuu: No there are guides you can follow. It will be alot easier to use than settig up yoru own DNS will be.]
[07:38] <dr_willis> aguuu:  its just ubuntu with no default desktop basically...
[07:38] <cfhowlett> aguuu, more that Userver is for those who want/need  a server
[07:38] <dr_willis> install a service on the desktop = You got a server. ;)
[07:39] <aguuu> soo.... ubuntu server has no desktop? it needs me to use the command line only?
[07:40] <dr_willis> aguuu:  thats sort of the point of the 'server' is it has no desktop ;)
[07:40] <aguuu> is it easy to enable X server and VNC so that i can do things in the UI?
[07:40] <cfhowlett> aguuu, by defautl, no desktop environment ...
[07:40] <cfhowlett> aguuu, quite easy
[07:40] <ruan> why would you want server
[07:40] <dr_willis> if you want a desktop.. install the desktop
[07:40] <aguuu> do people use the console only?
[07:40] <dr_willis> aguuu:  im on a console only system right now.. My Raspberry Pi
[07:40] <aguuu> I can't chose the desktop. it's amazon cloud.
[07:40] <aguuu> well i can, but i'd have to upload the image myself
[07:40] <dr_willis> i dont see why you want to be 'learning' on the cloud...
[07:41] <aguuu> dr_willis: raspberry pi has desktop
[07:41] <jkingaround> i have x forwarding set up
[07:41] <aguuu> dr_willis: why not? do i have to learn BEFORE doing?
[07:41] <jkingaround> can run xclock etc
[07:41] <dr_willis> aguuu:  yes i know it can do desktop.
[07:41] <aguuu> don't you need to run X in order to use x forwarding on the server?
[07:42] <histo> good
[07:42] <dr_willis> aguuu:  i suggest  a normal install of ubuntu., or playing with in a vbox session,. I dont see the point in paying for a amazon server
[07:42] <aguuu> just point me in the right direction. should i stick to the terminal or install X and use x forwarding? or use VNC? or what
[07:42] <davidhurwic> what minimum tech specs do i need to run 10.12
[07:42] <histo> jkingaround: Now what do you want to do?
[07:42] <aguuu> dr_willis: it's free. and i will set up my website there. it's not just for learning.
[07:42] <jkingaround> histo: run VNC?
[07:42] <syntroPi> aguuu, all depends on your intended usage of that installation
[07:43] <guideX> aguuu I just use vnc
[07:43] <aguuu> syntroPi: i plan to run many websites in it
[07:43] <dr_willis> aguuu:  you dont even know the basics of running a server.. but you plan on running many web sites... ;)
[07:44] <syntroPi> aguuu, well then config files, console and web ui are you friends i guess. no need for X11 and such
[07:44] <aguuu> dr_willis: i know how to run a server. just i'm new to it. especially on linux.
[07:44] <guideX> I try to use ui for everything, i'm not a fan of the commandline
[07:44] <cfhowlett> aguuu, are you familiar with the saying "You must walk before you run"?
[07:45] <aguuu> syntroPi: ok. i'll try that. if it doesn't work, ill install X and a UI
[07:45] <unheeding> heh.  X.  such noobs
[07:45] <aguuu> cfhowlett: yes. i don't like it. i run.
[07:45] <Guest73773> yes gracias
[07:45] <cfhowlett> aguuu, OK, then ... good luck with that.
[07:46] <aguuu> what's better about redhat? or in which case would i prefer it?
[07:46] <syntroPi> aguuu, if you would use VirtualBox you can experiment and use snapshots to resume to working states
[07:46] <guideX> redhat suxors
[07:46] <aguuu> is it more suited to internal intranets instead of the internet?
[07:46] <aguuu> syntroPi: yes i can download the image and use it in virtual box. if i need to.
[07:48] <nil_> hi!! I have a problem with phpmyadmin on ubuntu 12.10. I have a setup of apache2 with suexec , suphp and fcgid. Everything is working fine except phpmyadmin. Whenever I try to access it, it shows a download window
[07:48] <syntroPi> aguuu, redhat intends to provide stable interfaces to commercial software and support
[07:48] <nil_> Can anyone help me out with this?
[07:48] <amiu> nil_,  try asking in #web or #httpd or #php
[07:48] <aguuu> syntroPi: that sounds good. but why should i use ubuntu instead?
[07:49] <cfhowlett> aguuu, perhaps this discussion is better suited to #ubuntu-server channel??
[07:49] <syntroPi> aguuu, much wider spread in free software usage and better community imho
[07:49] <cfhowlett> nil_, also a great question for #ubuntu-server  ???
[07:49] <aguuu> cfhowlett: oh yes.
[07:50] <amiu> ubuntu server isnt for phpmyadmin script
[07:50] <nil_> thanks amiu, I will try there
[07:50] <aguuu> amiu: why not?
[07:50] <amiu> !ot
[07:50] <aguuu> oh nevermind
[07:51] <aguuu> i thought you were saying ubuntu is not compatible
[07:51] <amiu> nope ubuntu works fine with phpmyadmin under apache. i run it myself
[07:51] <arunkumar413> i want to run MS office in ubuntu using wine. does it have the same experience as if i'm running on windows
[07:51] <unheeding> it should be the same, it might be a bit slower
[07:52] <aguuu> arunkumar413: obvious answer: no
[07:52] <MonsterFanfan> arunkumar413: why not libreoffice
[07:52] <dr_willis> arunkumar413:  you mean crashes as much? ;)
[07:52] <cfhowlett> arunkumar413, libreoffice 4.0 ...
[07:52] <arunkumar413> dr_willis: no, the fonts, colors and etc,.
[07:53] <arunkumar413> dr_willis: i like the menu style of ms office. they are organized very well
[07:53] <cfhowlett> !wine|runkumar413,
[07:54] <cfhowlett> arunkumar413, try it with wine but don't expect the exact performance ... or consider the available alternatives ...
[07:55] <aguuu> Do you know how to use the free tier storage when creating a compute unit at amazon cloud?
[07:57] <somsip> aguuu: use a t1.micro and you get it for free. That's it
[07:58] <davidhurwic> i am looking to upgrade to 10-12, but unsure my hardware can handle it, what specs should i have it have it run smoothly and not run at a crawl?
[07:58] <ikonia> davidhurwic: spec's are documented on the website
[07:59] <arunkumar413> i always wanted to contribute to the open source software but there is any clear document about the softwares. there  is just thousands of lines of source but there is no proper doc which part of the code deals with what feature of the progam
[08:00] <aguuu> somsip: yes, but how much? the free tier says 5GiB storage. However, when creating the compute unit, it prompts me to create a disk with 8GiB!!! is this a trap to charge me?
[08:01] <somsip> aguuu: these answers are on the Amazon website. Except maybe the question about being trapped
[08:01] <ikonia> arunkumar413: you learn that, and each software project has it's own documentation/knowledge base
[08:02] <guideX> does ubuntu 12.10 work well on the gateway netbook lt2802u
[08:02] <guideX> ?
[08:02] <aguuu> somsip: yes exactly. that's why it's confusing
[08:02] <ikonia> guideX: that's a pretty specific question, I'd suggest looking at the hardware components and checking their linux support/issues
[08:02] <guideX> it's a fairly widespread all over the place netbook
[08:02] <guideX> it's in most of the major stores, best buy etc
[08:02] <ikonia> guideX: so there should be good documentation on it
[08:03] <guideX> I will check it out
[08:03] <dr_willis> 12.10 seems to work well on my 2 older netbooks
[08:03] <dr_willis> if unity is to much fo them. use Lubuntu
[08:03] <somsip> aguuu: you are looking at the free S3 storage. You should be looking at EBS storage. And this is OT
[08:03] <guideX> well that in particular is what i'm wondering, will it take unity
[08:03] <ikonia> guideX: check your graphics cards support
[08:04] <dr_willis> test  it with a live usb and see guideX .
[08:04] <guideX> hmm good idea
[08:04] <aguuu> somsip: the default was to use 8GiB from EBS. so yes, i guess this is a trap
[08:04] <amiu> i wouldnt use unity on a netbook if you are worried about performance. but then again unity ran fine on my 900MHz AMD Duron
[08:04] <guideX> or I could do the install inside windows too..
[08:04] <guideX> it does have a 256gb hdd
[08:05] <somsip> aguuu: see my last answer
[08:05] <cfhowlett> guideX, lubuntu and xubuntu are optimized for low spec and legacy hardware ...
[08:06]  * amiu recommends Ubuntu Studio. it runs XFCE and you wont have to spend all day installing the stuff you'll be needing
[08:06] <Jack> How do I access other users files using root access?
[08:07] <dr_willis> just cd to their homes.. and have fun. :)
[08:07] <dr_willis> using the root shell
[08:07] <dr_willis> unless of course they have encrypted homes
[08:18] <Jack> How do I uninstall my fglrx driver?
[08:19] <Jack> Nevermind.
[08:24] <vaq> Hello, what can the cause be of mtab not updating? I have a sshfs mount in fstab, that is mounted. I can see the files at the mountpoint, but not see the mount in mtab/when typing mount. cat /proc/mounts shows it
[08:26] <nearst> only mount
[08:26] <dr_willis> Hmm.. since sshfs uses fuse.. perhaps you are overlooking it?
[08:26] <dr_willis> i cant say ive ever needed to mess with mtab.
[08:26] <vaq> dr_willis: overlooking what? when typing mount it's not there, when typing cat /proc/mounts it's there.
[08:29] <dr_willis>  look for things using the fuse system perhaps.
[08:34] <catchmycube> good morning
[08:34] <dhadh> what changes should i make if i want to connect two laptops using lan wire to run my webchat python code?
[08:35] <dr_willis> changes?  You mean theres no router?  just a direct lan cable?
[08:36] <ejv> how do you even respond to a question like that... there's absolutely no details.
[08:36] <dr_willis> thats why we are experts at playing 20 questions in this channel. ;P
[08:36] <dhadh> dr_willis: yes. I want to just exchange simple messages from one laptop to another. There are no routers. Direct connection using lan wire.
[08:36] <amiu> you ask probing questions to determine the root cause of the support call, or you ask them to restart
[08:36] <tobias_93>           has joined #ubuntu
[08:36] <dr_willis> dhadh:  static ips on both box.s or just install a dhcp server on one. and use the ip#s
[08:36] <ejv> 20 questions are absurd. People should learn to ask better questions.
[08:37] <ejv> !details
[08:37] <dr_willis> a straight wired connection needs to either use a Crossover cable.. or a normal cable with GIgibit networking ports
[08:38] <amiu> dhadh,  if you install dhcp server, make sure you disable it if you ever connect it to your office's LAN
[08:38] <dhadh> dr_willis: i am using the codde on this site http://code.activestate.com/recipes/531824-chat-server-client-using-selectselect/ . what changes should i make to runt this?
[08:39] <dr_willis> dhadh:  no idea. i dont code.. if its using ips then set up ip#'s on the boxs
[08:39] <dhadh> code* run* . I cannot run dhcp server
[08:39] <dhadh> dr_willis: on one of my laptops running 12.04, I am not able to manually set static ip. The save option is disabled.
[08:40] <dr_willis> i tend to just use dhcp. im on 12.10 on my machines however.
[08:43] <woo> hola

[08:51] <zkron> accidentally did "chmod -R myuser /etc". Couldn't sudo, but fixed that by using pkexec. However, with all the rest of the contents of /etc set to my user as owner, can I just do "chmod -R root /etc" to set all /etc contents back to root as owner, or will that cause problems?
[08:51] <catchmycube> i am new in IRC. Is it normally, that there are now talks in rooms with more than 20 member?
[08:51] <Ben64> zkron: you mean chown?
[08:51] <zkron> Ben64: yes, sorry it's late here

[08:52] <cfhowlett> catchmycube, yes perfectly normal.  Have you an ubuntu support question?
[08:52] <Ben64> zkron: you should be more careful with sudo and root stuff
[08:52] <cfhowlett> nearst, run faster!   What do you mean?
[08:53] <catchmycube> no. i don´t have. so it´s not ok to write here?

[08:53] <flintser> catchmycube: you might want to turn off leaving and and joining messages for readability in here :)
[08:53] <llutz> zkron: chowning to root should be ok, there are only few files not root-owned in /etc (iirc)
[08:53] <Ben64> zkron: are the groups still unchanged?

[09:05] <zkron> Once I get my system sorted out again, is there a way to create a snapshot of my entire system (in the form of an ISO) on USB or DVD so that I can do a total recovery if I ever need to? Is there a tool for that
[09:06] <cfhowlett> zkron, dd
[09:06] <zkron> cfhowlett: okay, I'm familiar with dd. thanks.

[09:08] <tga> any idea why `watch ./foo.txt` would say permission denied?
[09:08] <zetheroo> how do I look for package versions in here?\
[09:09] <dr_willis> tga:  watch runs a command ...  you are trying to run a script named foo.txt?
[09:09] <cfhowlett> zetheroo, package versions are better found through your terminal .. apt-cache policy ...
[09:09] <dr_willis> !version
[09:09] <cfhowlett> zetheroo, for instance apt-cache policy evolution ...
[09:09] <zetheroo>  cfhowlett: ah I see

[09:10] <jamie236> Hello. I'm having problems with ar9285 on lenovo g575, detailed debug ouput can be found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2115166. Any help would be appreciated.
[09:11] <zetheroo> hmm ... ok but how do I see the version of the originating package - not Ubuntu's package info ?
[09:11] <tga> dr_willis: ah, fail, I was under the impression watch will trigger the command when the watched file changes
[09:11] <zetheroo> for instance  ... I need to know what versions of QEMU are available in Ubuntu 12.04 and above
[09:11] <tga> dr_willis: know of anything that will do that?
[09:11] <dr_willis> !info fam
[09:12] <tga> dnotify, hmm
[09:12] <tga> fam, even better
[09:12] <tga> gotcha, thanks
[09:13] <tga> great, fam is what I really wanted
[09:16] <zetheroo> how do I see the version of the originating package - not Ubuntu's package info ?
[09:18] <tga> dr_willis: to be precise, the actual answer is fileschanged, based on fam
[09:19] <dr_willis> I rarely need to mess with that stuff these days. ;P
[09:21] <roger_> good evening everyone..  If I've added a new user to xubuntu (pretty sure I've given new user full access and sudoer), Is it ok to delete the original user created on installation?
[09:22] <dr_willis> roger_:  login as the user and use them for a few days. ;)  be sure they can sudo and so forth..
[09:22] <tga> dr_willis: I'm trying to trigger the less compiler when my stylesheets change, and it's surprisingly non-obvious
[09:22] <cfhowlett> roger_, don't see why it wouldn't be ...
[09:22] <tga> inotifywait could work too, but it's more complicated
[09:22] <dr_willis> roger_:  check the groups for the old and new users also.
[09:23] <roger_> dr_willis, cfhowlett: Yeah everything seems fine, only thing is when I install new packages from software center it makes me enter original users password
[09:24] <dr_willis> hmm... somthing seems wrong there.
[09:24] <cfhowlett> roger_, even when booted as the new sudoer???
[09:24] <ncdmr> roger_: or at least logged off, logged in with the new user?
[09:25] <roger_> cfhowlett, dr_will: Pretty sure I rebooted after adding to sudoer. Let me go reboot to make sure..  brb
[09:28] <tziOm> I get a segfault with updated 12.10 and exim4/spamassassin/clamav combo
[09:30] <roger_> Yeah it still makes me enter original user password to install packages from software center
[09:30] <thoonai> hi
[09:30] <cfhowlett> roger_, that is some weird stuff.  does the other sudo account function; login logout?
[09:30] <roger_> yeah
[09:31] <roger_> cfhowlett: yeah it does
[09:31] <cfhowlett> roger_, if other sudoer works, I'd suggest you login, downgrade the first sudoer properties and test again.  do NOT delete first sudoer yet ...
[09:32] <zetheroo> what versions of Qemu are available in Ubuntu 12.04 and over ?
[09:32] <dr_willis> !info qemu
[09:32] <roger_> cfhowlett: forgive me here (i'm a linux newb), but by downgrade you mean simply set old user to desktop user instead of admin in users and groups?
[09:33] <cfhowlett> roger_, yes
[09:33] <roger_> cfhowlett: ok thank you..
[09:33] <cfhowlett> roger_, best of luck ...
[09:36] <roger_> cfhowlett: yeah old user is already set to desktop user. Only thing that is weird, is the old user is part of a group with same name as his username, and there is no group named after new user.
[09:37] <roger_> actually..! strike that!
[09:37] <roger_> old user is already set to desktop.  but new user does have his own group

[09:53] <chrisevans1001> hi. i wonder if somebody can advise me. i have chmod -R a directory and given user RWX, group RW and other none. when i try to open files within the directory by users within the group... it opens blank. if i change permissions to execute, it opens with contents. what am i missing?
[09:56] <llutz> !permissions | chrisevans1001:  you want to read about directories and the executable bit (traverse)

[10:00] <chrisevans1001> hi thanks. yes ive read the page but thats maybe where i am confused still then:
[10:00] <vedic> How to disable home directory encryption?
[10:00] <chrisevans1001> i dont need to view the directory, im trying just to open the file. the file has RW on it. the directory the same. under the user im trying nano /mydirectory/myfile - it opens blank
[10:01] <chrisevans1001> if i change the users permissions to execute, it opens with content
[10:02] <dr_willis> the directory needs to be 'exectable' in order to access things in it
[10:03] <chrisevans1001> oooooooooh. the examples ive read have just said allow cd into it - i assumed it meant for the purposes of listing its contents, didnt realise that thanks.
[10:03] <vedic> How to disable home directory encryption?
[10:04] <chrisevans1001> works perfectly - cheers willis
[10:04] <dr_willis> Hmm. I belive you have to access the encrypted stuff..  copy it somewhere else.. then disabel the encryption and copy it back. but i never use the feature
[10:04] <dr_willis> askubuntu.com may have a better written guide.

[10:12] <jakey1> what is the best remote destop viewer on ubuntu 12.04
[10:12] <SgtTrombelli> xforwarding
[10:12] <vedic> llutz: thanks
[10:12] <SgtTrombelli> with ssh
[10:13] <mbeierl> jakey1, depends on what you want to do.  View an MS Windows desktop from Linux, or host remote desktops on Linux for Windows or other Linux clients, or ...?
[10:14] <jakey1> I have ubuntu on a vm on my windows 7 and I want to remote view my other computer with ubuntu on it?
[10:15] <SgtTrombelli> jakey1 if you using two computer with linux  you can use xforwardin and ssh
[10:15] <jakey1> that is ssh -x ?
[10:15] <jakey1> -X
[10:15] <dr_willis> or just use the basic vnc stuff for local lan.
[10:16] <mbeierl> jakey1, so, to be clear: you want to view Linux computer #1 from Linux computer #2 (a VM on WIndows 7)?
[10:16] <jakey1> yes
[10:16] <dr_willis> if you can see the other pcs monitor. you can use synergy to controll it.
[10:16] <mbeierl> jakey1, then I agree with dr_willis about VNC.  Vinagre is built in to the stock 12.04 Ubuntu.
[10:17] <dr_willis> actually dosent vbox have some sort of remote client feature?
[10:17] <jakey1> basically I trying to set up a vm server on the native ubuntu machine, but I want to do it on a remote desktop viewer as opposed to through a terminal
[10:18] <mbeierl> dr_willis, that would work for viewing the VMs, not the native Ubuntu.  But, ya I think it just uses VNC - like VMware does
[10:18] <histo> !nvc | jakey1
[10:18] <histo> !vnc | jakey1
[10:18] <histo> dr_willis: Yeah it's remote client feature is vnc based
[10:18] <mbeierl> !FreeNX
[10:19] <mbeierl> Wow.  Didn't realize that FreeNX was still alive.  I've only ever used NoMachine's implementation.
[10:21] <agu10^> i screwed up my apache installation. is there any way to undo everything i've done on my ubuntu machine (it's not much), or do i have to reinstall the OS?
[10:21] <dr_willis> I think it may be sickly. ;) someone mentioned its not getting much updates any more
[10:21] <jakey1> so I have a choice of Vinagre or freenx
[10:22] <mbeierl> dr_willis, that would be my experience with freenx
[10:22] <dr_willis> vnc or nx, ssh X forwarding can be used in some cases.
[10:22] <mbeierl> jakey1, until you need more than VNC, I'd go with that first as it does not require much to set up (ie: no software to install)
[10:22] <yeehaw> agu10^: If it's purely Apache that's corrupt you could remove it and reinstall it?
[10:22] <mbeierl> Is there a vinagre factoid?
[10:23] <dr_willis> !vnc
[10:23] <agu10^> yeehaw: it's not corrupt. i was installing mod python and mod wsgi, but they asked me to modify many config files. i don't want those files to remain the same. how can i reset them?
[10:23] <dr_willis> !vinagre
[10:24] <mbeierl> polled the bot a bit, and came up empty
[10:24] <flintser> agu10^: purge apache2, and remove /etc/apache2
[10:24] <dr_willis> !brain

[10:25] <mbeierl> vedic: "groups userid" from a terminal
[10:25] <jakey1> What is the terminal code to install the vnc?
[10:25] <mbeierl> jakey1, so  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers and scroll down to the part about vino for stock 12.04 ubuntu.
[10:28] <agu10^> should config go in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, or /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, or /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default ???
[10:28] <awestroke> I have a sysrq prompt marker flashing on the left side of the screen. If I hold alt while press sysrq and then hold shift, I get the sysrq prompt from that marker.  It is a black box approx 10px*20px in size. It starts on the top left part of the screen and moves down then I interact with the sysrq prompt
[10:29] <awestroke> agu10^: put each site config as a file in sites-available
[10:29] <awestroke> enabled*
[10:29] <awestroke> I mean
[10:29] <awestroke> sorry, as a file in sites-enabled
[10:31] <agu10^> awestroke: i don't get it. the tutorials all point to different places!
[10:32] <awestroke> agu10^: what do you want to do?
[10:32] <agu10^> awestroke: just set up .py and .psp files to be ran by mod python!
[10:32] <agu10^> why do i have 3 places for the same config files?
[10:32] <agu10^> where should i put stuff and why do tutorials put them in 3 different places instead of one?
[10:33] <khatri> HELP with SSH connection...please ! When I try to connect from my home to my office via ssh -X , it says something CONNECTION REFUSED and port 22 bla bla bla....
[10:33] <awestroke> agu10^: the files in sites-enabled are loaded by the apache2 config. the files in sites-available can be enabled with the command a2ensite. Put global settings in the main config file, put site-specific settings in separate files in sites-enabled
[10:34] <awestroke> agu10^: Apache can host several websites simultaneously. So we don't want it to parse everything as python if you have a site serving php too
[10:35] <awestroke> khatri: add the -v flag to the ssh command. Are you sure port 22 is forwarded to your work computer?
[10:36] <dragonz> hey gyus, i have an ubuntu vm, i can ping ineternet hosts/ips but i cannot install any package using apt-get... keeps saying "Failed to fetch"
[10:36] <dragonz> anyone can help me out with this?
[10:36] <wolfbyte> Yo all, does anyone know where I can get a gigantic list of internet radio stations that I could dump into Rhythmbox in one shot?
[10:36] <khatri> awestroke: OKAY !
[10:37] <awestroke> dragonz: go to software sources, open Download from: ->Other, click Select Best Server
[10:37] <agu10^> awestroke: i want .py files and .psp files to work.
[10:37] <wolfbyte> oh shit, net split, hang on
[10:37] <agu10^> awestroke: in all websites. just like php does by default!
[10:37] <dragonz> awestroke, sorry, forgot to mention that im running ubuntu server, not desktop
[10:37] <awestroke> ah
[10:37] <flintser> agu10^: general config goes to httpd.conf, i rarely use that, you can use sites-available default conf for your own site, duplicate "default" -> "mysite" and then do changes to "mysite". after that a2ensite mysite to enable it
[10:38] <yeehaw> dragonz: What version are you running? cat /etc/lsb-release
[10:38] <MarKsaitis> I have a package which is in a repo and I can't install it thorough apt-get. Somebody sugested me to use dpkg --force-conflicts to install it. The package doesnt conflict in a file level... anyways, long story. How do I go about it?
[10:38] <bombard> hello world
[10:38] <agu10^> flintser: why not edit the default site?
[10:38] <dragonz> yeehaw, its 10.10.. i want to install few packages before i run a distro update for it
[10:39] <agu10^> sites-available/default ... that's what tutorials edit
[10:39] <flintser> agu10^: you can do that too but then you have no default page if you want to restart

[10:39] <ankr> Hey guys. I recently installed 12.04 on an a Asus laptop. And suddenly I realize that apparently it is constantly downloading 10MB/sec for reasons I don't know. Is that expected behavior - and why is it doing it?
[10:39] <yeehaw> dragonz: Support of Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10 was officially dropped on 10 April 2012.
[10:39] <dragonz> ouch
[10:40] <dragonz> so how can i install openssh-server to be able to run the distro update
[10:40] <flintser> agu10^: i mean that it is the default conf you sshould at least copy it some where else to safety in case you want default config back
[10:40] <zetheroo> trying to install ubuntu server 12.04 here and it's failing at Select and Install Software
[10:40] <khatri> awestroke: do I have to install OpenSSH ?
[10:40] <awestroke> dragonz: what kind of access do you have to this server?
[10:40] <k1l_> dragonz: ssh should be installed if its an server install already
[10:40] <zetheroo> it gets to trying to load tasksel and then fails
[10:41] <awestroke> khatri: context please, what are you talking about
[10:41] <dragonz> awestroke, VMware Player ..
[10:41] <k1l_> dragonz: for everything else see the message from the bot. it explains your possible chances

[10:42] <dragonz> on a gist?
[10:42] <khatri> but it says CONNECTION REFUSED and something port 22 bla bla
[10:42] <flintser> khatri: are you sure that sshd_config is properly setup? and firewall is not blocking connections?
[10:43] <awestroke> dragonz: in terminal, do "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" and then select the output, copy it with ctrl+shift+c, and paste it in a new gist on gist.github.com, the paste the URL here
[10:43] <agu10^> why can't i edit "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default" E212: Can't open file for writing ???

[10:43] <awestroke> sburjan: which item?
[10:44] <sburjan> awestroke: From an application I've uninstalled.. called Remmina
[10:44] <awestroke> khatri: are you connecting to the office external IP?
[10:44] <awestroke> sburjan: what happens then you right click the icon?
[10:44] <flintser> khatri: if your office pc is at work, it is a high chance that theyre blocking port 22. you can try ssh <IP_ADDRESS> at the machine you are trying to connect to
[10:44] <sburjan> awestroke: and I don't have a Unlock from Launcher option
[10:45] <yeehaw> sburjan: Reinstall remmina and delete it maybe?
[10:45] <agu10^> thanks!!
[10:45] <sburjan> awestroke: nothing happens
[10:45] <awestroke> sburjan: what happens when you drag the icon off the taskbar
[10:46] <sburjan> awestroke: it returns back on the taskbar
[10:46] <awestroke> ah nvm that never works
[10:46] <wolfbyte> I believe that if Rhythmbox had some pre-loaded internet radio stations, it would make for a good first time user experience...
[10:47] <awestroke> sburjan: did you log out and log in again? tried restarting?
[10:47] <sburjan> awestroke: no, let me try now. brb

[10:51] <awestroke> do you mean like "xdg-open ." ?
[10:51] <flintser> i don't get what you're trying to do jakey1, sorry :( nautilus is file manager i don't get how you couldnt go to desktop from it or how it relates to terminal

If I hdparm -I the hdd, I get "device size with M = 1024*1024:     2384658 MBytes"  and "device size with M = 1000*1000:     2500495 MBytes (2500 GB)".  Fdisk lists it as 2199.0 GB .  After partitioning, if I do a "df" , I get"<PHONE_NUMBER> 1K-blocks". Is my computer seeing the hdd properly ? I can write/read normally, but I seem to have lost 500GB from the disk size. df -h shows 2.0TB. output
[11:29] <mvt007geek> i want to call an encryption function from kernel into a file system.but i don't know which encrypt function/functions i should call? i have been heard about dm-crypt but i found it only in documentations (in lxr site.)
[11:31] <thiefy`> how would i go about changing my password for the login to the OS to a four character password? the normal "user accounts" thingy won't let me.
[11:31] <amgarching> I dont find python-petsc4py package anymore. It is installed on one of my 12.04 LTS machines. I do not remembere where I got it. It definitely did exist http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/python/python-petsc4py   Any idea?
[11:31] <thiefy`> this is just a lil netbook that doesn't need security. no one will get their sneaky paws on it so i want it to be a lil short password.
[11:31] <agu10^> when i'm typing cd something/other/ how can i know what directories exist WITHOUT having to type another command?
[11:31] <kewel> hi I'm running lubuntu .. is there a cool little memory meter that will sit down in my tray?
[11:32] <dr_willis> thiefy`:  sudo passwd username
[11:32] <agu10^> kind of a better autocomplete that lists more directories?
[11:32] <gry1> kewel: try asking #lubuntu or #lxde
[11:32] <kewel> =)
[11:32] <jrib> agu10^: tap tab twice
[11:32] <flintser> amgarching: add the proper repository?
[11:32] <k1l_> agu10^: ls ?
[11:32] <thiefy`> thanks dr_willis  looks like that worked.
[11:33]  * thiefy` throws dr_willis a big cookie!
[11:33]  * dr_willis sets thiefy` 's password to be 'password'
[11:33] <agu10^> k1l_: ls is another command
[11:33] <amgarching> flintser: the URL quotes universe. Universe is on by default.
[11:33] <thiefy`> kewel,  yeah, they call them docks or something like that. just do a google search for xfce docks
[11:34] <dr_willis> !dock
[11:34] <flintser> amgarching: http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/petsc4py/
[11:34] <flintser> amgarching: at least this has it deb http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu/ oneiric main universe
[11:34] <k1l_> agu10^: i don get what you want
[11:34] <thiefy`> he doesn't want a dock doctor. he wants a lil icon to show his memory.
[11:34] <kewel> thiefy`: muchos gracias
[11:35] <gry1> agu10^: press tab twice
[11:35] <flintser> agu10^: ls -la
[11:35] <simmerz> is there a sensible resolution to empathy continually telling me my accounts need to be authorised, even though they have been and it not giving me a mechanism to reauth?
[11:35] <agu10^> gry1, jrib: thanks!!
[11:35] <gry1> :-)
[11:38] <thiefy`> i'm lovin this cairo dock. gets rid of the sadness of unity and just have one lil dock. yay.
[11:38] <flintser> amgarching: did it help? that repo is for oneiric but it is there... maybe even the right version :)
[11:38] <dr_willis> bah - run about 5 differnt docks..
[11:39] <anew> /etc/default/grub where can i find this ?
[11:39] <anew> i'm in cli
[11:39] <anew> but where is this folder ?
[11:39] <dawkirst> hi there, what's the best way to regulate the fans in my PC in Ubuntu? Is there a single package that can do this for me?
[11:39] <dr_willis> anew:  you gave the full path to it... its in    /etc/default/grub
[11:39] <dr_willis> anew:    ls -l /etc/default/grub
[11:40] <k1l_> anew: you already mentioned the folder
[11:40] <anew> hmmm sorry i am very new ....
[11:40] <anew> when i ls
[11:40] <anew> i dont see /etc/
[11:40] <anew> i am in root $ (i think)
[11:40] <anew> i just booted ubuntu
[11:40] <anew> and went straght to cli
[11:40] <dr_willis> anew:  whats the EXACT command you are using?
[11:41] <anew> well first from root i type ls
[11:41] <anew> and see
[11:41] <anew> desktop, downloads, music, public, videos, documents, pictures, templates
[11:41] <amgarching> flintser: thanks. I manually downloaded *.deb in dpkg -installed it. The "import petsc4py" fails still. Will investigate. Not sure why there is no package for precise.
[11:41] <dr_willis> so thats your users home directory... notice the prompt  has a '~' in it?
[11:41] <anew> yes i see that in the prompt
[11:41] <syntroPi> anew "nano /etc/default/grub"
[11:41] <dr_willis> anew:  and the command 'ls -l /etc/default/grub'  gives what?
[11:42] <mvt007geek> i want to call an encryption function from kernel into a file system.but i don't know which encrypt function/functions i should call? i have been heard about dm-crypt but i found it only in documentations (in lxr site.)
[11:42] <flintser> anew: it defaults to home directory. go "cd /" to root directory
[11:42] <anew> ah yes
[11:42] <anew> flintser
[11:42] <dr_willis> if you give the full path to the file. it dosent matter where you are at.
[11:42] <anew> there it is
[11:42] <dragonz> so guys, i just ran an upgrade on my ubuntu server, do the files used to upgrade get deleted automatically?
[11:42] <dragonz> or do i need to clean some stuff
[11:43] <anew> :D
[11:43] <anew> thanks everyone
[11:43] <DanV> Seems my problem was related to MBR formatting instead of GPT. Thanks ! Have a great day !
[11:43] <nearst> :)
[11:43] <dr_willis> if this path stuff is confuseing. you may want to read up on bash fundamentals. ;)
[11:43] <anew> yes i want to read all that, but want to set up the machine first
[11:43] <anew> i'm trying to boot straight to cli
[11:43] <anew> should i be using ubuntu or debian ?
[11:44] <dr_willis> anew:  you tell us. ;) we dont know your needs.
[11:44] <nearst> both not much diff
[11:44] <DJones> !text | anew
[11:44] <anew> ok well i use virtualbox
[11:44] <flintser> debian has the setting to install without GUI, also ubuntu server defaults wihtout it.
[11:44] <nearst> !terminal
[11:44] <flintser> just saying :)
[11:44] <anew> and just would like to mostly for now learn how to use it
[11:45] <flintser> anew: you might just want to stick with *buntu. for first time users no gui can be a rocky path
[11:46] <jakey1> how do I ping an ip adress at a specific port
[11:46] <amgarching> flintser: ok. Seems to work. The failed import was an older error message. I wonder how I installed it on my previous "precise"...
[11:46] <anew> crash and burn baby
[11:46] <vedic> When I login to my server, I see a msg: You have new mail
[11:46] <thiefy`> you've got mail!
[11:46] <dr_willis> so read it. ;)
[11:46] <thiefy`> you've got mail!
[11:46] <thiefy`> yaaaay!
[11:46] <FloodBot1> thiefy`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:46] <amgarching> is oneric newer or older than precise?
[11:46] <vedic> How can I stop it? and how to find which program is sending mail?  ;P
[11:47] <jakey1> anyone
[11:47] <flintser> amgarching: maybe it was on some other repo you added or in the installation media :) dunno but good that you found what you needed
[11:48] <dr_willis> jakey1:  check 'man ping' perhaps? ive never seen ping take a port argument
[11:48] <flintser> oneiric is 11.10, precise is 12.04
[11:48] <nearst> unless grab port banner, yes. ping usually on host.
[11:48] <OerHeks> amgarching, older, O oneiric P precise  Q quantal R raring
[11:49] <dhanu> >
[11:49] <thiefy`> If you want to check if you can access a certain port on a remote machine then telnet is always a safe bet since it's built in to almost all operating systems.
[11:49] <amgarching> thanks!
[11:49] <vedic> k1l_: Why I am getting these mail? I see there are lot of emails from psad
[11:49] <dhanu> ?
[11:49] <thiefy`> or maybe a portscanner.
[11:49] <thiefy`> ^ for jakey1
[11:49] <k1l_> vedic: read the messages.
[11:49] <vedic> k1l_: psad-alert
[11:49] <k1l_> vedic: it says who is sending it and why
[11:49] <jakey1> thiefy`, thanls
[11:50] <vedic> k1l_: how can I configure it to send to my email id instead of<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:50] <nearst> that require mta to configure
[11:50] <flintser> vedic: no one has sent you mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>its just default
[11:51] <vedic> flintser: ok, I think psad is sending the alert information. Can it be configured to send to my email id?
[11:51] <flintser> vedic: dunno, i have never done that
[11:51] <jakey1> is the inet addres the ip adress in ifconfig?
[11:52] <nearst> vedic, usually not too important unless ure in production server
[11:52] <vedic> nearst: its production server.
[11:52] <thiefy`> jakey yes. what else would it be?
[11:53] <thiefy`> ure?
[11:53] <thiefy`> did you just make up a word?
[11:54] <thiefy`> are you allowed to do that?
[11:54] <thiefy`> !rules
[11:54] <yeehaw> ankr: Did you try the tool?
[11:54] <nearst> vedic, http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure-the-server/Install-ssmtp.html
[11:54] <wiggmpk> So I am trying to create a launcher for minecraft, I made a script to use the proper Java version. If I run the script in a terminal it works fine.. I created a symbolic link to the script in /usr/bin (and if I run "minecraft" from the terminal it works fine) but in my minecraft.desktop file, when it runs the symbolic link from /usr/bin it errors with could not find or load main class.. What is the difference here? It should be running
[11:55] <ankr> yeehaw, nethogs?
[11:55] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: As what user do you run the file on the terminal and with what user on desktop
[11:55] <yeehaw> ankr: yes
[11:56] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: my user, IE not with sudo
[11:56] <yeehaw> wiggmpk: Can you post your .desktop file contents to pastebuntu?
[11:56] <ankr> yeehaw, I tried but I was only able to monitor wlan0 with it, couldn't get it to work with eth00
[11:57] <wiggmpk> yeehaw: yup, gimme a sec
[11:57] <yeehaw> ankr: Even when using 'sudo nethogs eth0'
[11:57] <zetheroo> what is the command to find a directory ?
[11:57] <yeehaw> ankr: ?
[11:57] <jakey1> I have a vm of a server and I want to ssh into it, I have the ip address and pinged it an its ok but when I try to ssh into it it doesnt work?
[11:58] <dr_willis> wiggmpk:  have your script cd to the proper directory of the game. it may need to be started from the games directory.
[11:58] <nearst> sudo service sshd restart
[11:58] <anew> man this is goind to sound idiotic, but when i type, delete and insert act completely screwy and letters appear
[11:58] <yeehaw> jakey1: Did you install and start openssh server?
[11:58] <jakey1> yep
[11:58] <jakey1> I have it as port forwaded to 1056
[11:59] <yeehaw> jakey1: On the VM, what does 'ps auxf | grep ssh' give you?
[11:59] <dr_willis> zetheroo:  'find' or 'locate' to search for things
[11:59] <wiggmpk> dr_willis: ill try that real quick
[11:59] <nearst> ssh ip:port
[12:00] <jakey1> yeehaw, what do you want to know
[12:01] <ankr> yeehaw, "ioctl failed while establishing local IP for selected device eth0. You may specify the device on the command line."
 IP. eth0 only has a IPV6 address.
[12:05] <Adeeb> Where can can I get with installing FreeBSD, I'm unable to join the channel "##freebsd"?
[12:05] <yeehaw> ankr: So for your internet connectivity for ipv4 adresses you are connected via wlan, correct? And that one is not causing the traffic, correct? What do your vms do that involve ipv6?
[12:06] <ankr> yeehaw, Yes that sounds about right. VMS shouldn't do anything with ipv6, although one of them is functioning as dns server.
[12:07] <yeehaw> ankr: Is it production? Else I would shutdown your vm's one by one and check which one is causing the traffic. After that, you can try running nethogs on the VM that is causing the traffic and you'll maybe have an answer
[12:07] <marchdown> hello.
[12:07] <marchdown> Does anyone know what system component catches keyboard-layout-switching key combo?
[12:09] <ankr> yeehaw, that sounds like decent debugging - I will try to investigate that! thanks alot for your time, unfortunately I don't have more time before after hours.
[12:09] <jakey1> is it pastebin for images
[12:09] <DJones> !paste | jakey1
[12:09] <yeehaw> ankr: I'll be online here, sent me a pm if you have fixed it and I'm unresponsive :-)
[12:09] <ankr> yeehaw, I will do that! :) thanks again
[12:10] <jakey1> DJones, for pics
[12:10] <TomyLaptop> does libboost1.xy-dbg contain the debug symbols for all the libboost-*1.xy.z packages?
[12:10] <DJones> jakey1: It tells you in ubottu's info
[12:10] <raddy_> Hello Everybody
[12:11] <raddy_> I found wubi based ubuntu 12 to be very slow in my system, especially app loading
[12:11] <jakey1> yeehaw, imagebin.org/246390
[12:11] <raddy_> are there any work arounds
[12:11] <k1l_> raddy_: dont use wubi
[12:12] <k1l_> raddy_: go for a native install on own partitions.
[12:12] <DJones> raddy_: A wubi install will always be slower than a native install
[12:12] <raddy_> K11: thats all known advise.
[12:12] <yeehaw> jakey1: Ok, so the VM that the server is running on, can you connect to ssh via another computter on the same LAN?
[12:13] <raddy_> Djones : already known, please don't give such boring advises, i am not a noob
[12:14] <jakey1> yeehaw, nope
[12:15] <yeehaw> !rules | raddy_
[12:15] <raddy_> many have told the speed difference is negligable
[12:15] <jakey1> yeehaw
[12:15] <wdp> i'm having a weird problem with ubuntu and lightdm.
[12:15] <yeehaw> jakey1: Local firewall? Can you connect locally on the vm itself?
[12:15] <jakey1> yeehaw, I can connect to the host from another computer but not the vm server
[12:15] <wdp> I'm trying to make xfce the default session. I changed user-session in lightdm.conf to xfce. It doesn't care.
[12:15] <k1l_> raddy_: wubi installs the ubuntu into a container in the ntfs partition.
[12:15] <raddy_> But i am seeing huge slowness
[12:16] <yeehaw> jakey1: That does not make sense, you are trying to connect to the vm rihgt?
[12:16] <wdp> I removed the .dmrc which contains =ubuntu - It recreates that file and enters =ubuntu. I changed =ubuntu to =xfce. It changes on next reboot.
[12:16] <jakey1> yes
[12:16] <k1l_> raddy_: we are not responsible for anyone saying to you that its not slower and better than a real install. :/
[12:16] <raddy_> K11: i know how wubi works
[12:16] <wdp> I tried lightdm-set-defaults -s xfce - no change.
[12:16] <k1l_> raddy_: sorry, but if you know everything and dont like the answers why are you asking?
[12:17] <wdp> Apart from praying, anyone any idea what i could do? :)
[12:17] <jakey1> yeehaw, from machine 1 to machine 2 works. From machine 1 to machine 2's vm server does not work
[12:17] <raddy_> k11 : please read my comment correctly, nobody said it is better, but nobody said it is worse either
[12:17] <yeehaw> jakey1: Aah, how did you configure the VM's networking? Is it bridged?
[12:17] <yeehaw> jakey1: Or natted
[12:17] <jakey1> NAT
[12:17] <raddy_> I am looking for any tweeks to speed up a wubi install.
[12:18] <deitario1> I just discovered Remastersys and it reminded me that I wanted to create a streamlined LiveCD/DVD and reinstall disc but it has too many limitations (nVidia binary drivers hard-disabled by Ubuntu's casper script, no option to choose text-mode installer, must use KDM or GDM, etc.)
[12:18] <yeehaw> jakey1: Change it to bridged and retest
[12:18] <ra7v> Ubuntu 12.04 wont start after manual restart... please help
[12:18] <raddy_> Application start up is the main issue
[12:18] <deitario1> Can anyone point me to a guide on how to do it manually enough to intervene and forcibly bypass these limitations?
[12:19] <anew> sudo vi /etc/default/grub when i run this and try to edit the file i am not even able to type?

[12:21] <vedic> I have about 500 emails sent by psad alert. How to bundle it and clean the mail logs? I am no longer running psad

[12:22] <rking> I work on a project that uses 10.4 as its production platform. I want to develop on the same system, but I also want some tools (like vim, tmux, etc) to be at bleeding edge versions. Am I best installing from their repos or is there a good backports system or something?
[12:22] <jakey1> yeehaw, its timing out
[12:22] <dr_willis> !10.04
[12:22] <yeehaw> jakey1: on LAN?
[12:23] <rking> dr_willis: (?)
[12:23] <dr_willis> backports, ppa's or source  -
[12:23] <luc4> Hi! I'm installing ubuntu and I got that it is impossible to install the bootloader in the specified location. Is there anything I can do to understand why?
[12:23] <dr_willis> would be the general order of perferance i imagine.
[12:23] <jakey1> yeehaw, I dont have lan only wireless
[12:24] <ra7v> ?
[12:24] <yeehaw> jakey1: LAN is local area network and it's your home network. Are you trying to ssh from in you local network?
[12:24] <jakey1> yes
[12:25] <jakey1> yeehaw, there is a special ip adress for the virtual box wm's when you do ifconfig
[12:25] <jakey1> on the host machine
[12:26] <Kimmono> !8.04
[12:26] <luc4> Can I use any partition for installing the bootloader?
[12:26] <ra7v> not much help here :(
[12:27] <dr_willis> luc4:  normally grub goes on the MBR of the HD you are booting for a normalinstall
[12:27] <Physicist> Why I guess that the Unity 2D is so much beautifull than 3D?
[12:27] <dr_willis> ra7v:  clarify what 'wont start' means
[12:27] <anew> does vi act differently than nano ?
[12:27] <Physicist> I really think so!
[12:27] <dr_willis> anew:  vi is a totally differnt text editor.. so yes..
[12:27] <ra7v> I've been using Ubuntu 12.04 with no problems for the past 2 months. A few hours ago, when i restarted my PC, it just hang with black screen for more than 10 minutes. So I did a hard reset by pressing the power button for a few seconds. However, when I startup the PC, Ubuntu loads till the Ubuntu logo with 5 dots under it, then remains there forever. Tried several times with same result.
[12:27] <k1l_> ra7v: errormessages? i cant just guess what is not starting
[12:27] <luc4> dr_willis: I selected /dev/sda7 but it is failing to install. Can I get a hint on why it failed?
[12:28] <yeehaw> jakey1: Can you give me: 'ifconfig | pastebinit' from the host?
[12:28] <dr_willis> luc4:  normally you would put grub on /dev/sda  not sda7
[12:28] <ra7v> i tried Boot-Repair recommended repair, but it didnt solve the problem.
[12:28] <luc4> dr_willis: but won't that erase data on the disk?
[12:28] <dr_willis> ra7v:  you see the grub menu? try the recovery/rescue  options to look at the error mesages
[12:29] <dr_willis> luc4:  Grub goes on the MBR of the hard drive you are booting. thats how it works
[12:29] <dr_willis> the MBR is not the data on the disk
[12:29] <luc4> dr_willis: wikipedia will help understand :-) thanks
[12:29] <dr_willis> !grub
[12:30] <anew> dr_willis ok it's weird thanks
[12:30] <dr_willis> grub goes on the mbr of the disk.. not the mbr of a partion on the disk
[12:30] <ra7v> i dont see grub menu, it just gets stuck at that purple screen
[12:30] <dr_willis> except in some special cases
[12:30] <dr_willis> ra7v:  hold the shift key down when it boots.. to let you see the grub menu
[12:31] <Physicist> Unity 3D is annoying.
[12:31] <dr_willis> you may want to also try fscking the filesystems from a live cd.
[12:31] <luc4> dr_willis: thanks!
[12:31] <dr_willis> Physicist:  how vague.. as of 12.10 there is no unity2d
[12:31] <jakey1> yeehaw, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1639304/
[12:32] <yeehaw> jakey1: And your vm, what kind of ip does it have?
[12:32] <flintser> unity is what made me change from ubuntu to mint :/
[12:32] <Physicist> dr_willis: I know that. I'm in 12.04 now.
[12:32] <jakey1> yeehaw, How do you mean
[12:33] <flintser> is there any support channel for ubuntu phone yet :) cant wait to try it
[12:33] <yeehaw> jakey1: If you do the same command on the vm instead of the host
[12:33] <yeehaw> jakey1: What do you get?
[12:33] <dr_willis> !phone
[12:34] <ra7v> here's the url boot-repair gave me to ask for help. i'll try restarting now and see if i can get the grub menu to come up. paste.ubuntu.com/1639118/
[12:35] <ra7v> i'll be back in a bit, currently running ubuntu from usb, so need to restart
[12:35] <ra7v> thanks

[12:40] <ra7v> hi i'm back... oi'm on the recovery menu, which do i choose? resume, clean, dpkg, failsafex, fsck, grub, network, root, system-summary
[12:40] <luc4> dr_willis: now the installation seems to be fine, but when I try to boot I get that no boot disk is available. Can I fix this somehow from the USB live ubuntu?
[12:42] <yeehaw> jakey1: So the host has <IP_ADDRESS> and the vm <IP_ADDRESS> ? That's not gonna work
[12:42] <yeehaw> jakey1: create a bridged ip instead of nat and reboot the vm
[12:43] <Physicist> I need help. Some programs just does not open/start in my 12.04: Tweak, GParted, Compiz and more. And one package is with problem: ALSA. How fix it (ALSA) with -dpkg, and how can I fix the others programs problem?
[12:43] <ra7v> hi i'm back... i pressed shift when ubuntu was booting, then chose the recovery mode, then arrived to the recovery menu, which do i choose? resume, clean, dpkg, failsafex, fsck, grub, network, root, system-summary?
[12:44] <jakey1> yeehaw, ok but asit now I can connect to the internet via nat, when I put it on bridfged I could not?
[12:44] <Physicist> ra7v, for what?
[12:44] <yeehaw> jakey1: You have to specify a different ip then, one from your real network
[12:45] <jakey1> yeehaw, ok how do I do that
[12:46] <ra7v> Physicist , I've been using Ubuntu 12.04 with no problems for the past 2 months. A few hours ago, when i restarted my PC, it just hang with black screen for more than 10 minutes. So I did a hard reset by pressing the power button for a few seconds. However, when I startup the PC, Ubuntu loads till the Ubuntu logo with 5 dots under it, then remains there forever. Tried several times with same result.
[12:47] <ra7v> So i tried Boot-Repair recommended repair, but it didnt solve the problem. here's the url it gave to ask people for help.
[12:47] <ra7v> paste.ubuntu.com/1639118/
[12:47] <ra7v> someone said i should try recovery mode, but i dunno what to choose nect
[12:49] <ra7v> so i pressed shift when ubuntu was booting, then chose the recovery mode, then arrived to the recovery menu, which do i choose? resume, clean, dpkg, failsafex, fsck, grub, network, root, system-summary?
[12:51] <yeehaw> jakey1: Look online: https://blogs.oracle.com/fatbloke/entry/networking_in_virtualbox1
[12:53] <Physicist_> ra7v: Did you make any driver installation recently?
[12:54] <ra7v> nope, no driver installation
[12:55] <Physicist_> ohh.. I cannot help you. sorry!
[12:56] <ra7v> anyone?
[12:59] <anew> so if i have say 2 virtual machines each running ubuntu... .can i use different proxies on each one?
[12:59] <anew> or can my host machine only have one at a time ?
[13:00] <Umair> hi guys!
[13:03] <Umair> here's my question… can we create alias for folder names?
[13:03] <Umair> short alias
[13:05] <ra7v> ?
[13:06] <ra7v> so i pressed shift when ubuntu was booting, then chose the recovery mode, then arrived to the recovery menu, which do i choose? resume, clean, dpkg, failsafex, fsck, grub, network, root, system-summary?
[13:07] <jpds> ra7v: Well, which one do you want?
[13:09] <ra7v> jpds: i dunno, someone told me i should go into recovery mode to check for the error. ubuntu gets stuck at the purple screen with ubuntu logo ad 5 dots under it whenever i start it. this started happening after i did a hard reboot when it got stuck while restarting. i did a boot-repair but it did not help. paste.ubuntu.com/1639118/
[13:09] <Umair> I want to create "dev" alias for "Development" folder name. Can I do that?
[13:10] <ripthejacker> how to use drag and drop in nautilus
[13:10] <ripthejacker> ?
[13:10] <elemay2> hi guys, im trying to install a second network card for bonding on a vlan. the devices get bonded, but on boot there is no dhcp release. if i do service networking restart i get an dhcp lease. what do i wrong?
[13:11] <ripthejacker> i.e to drag from one window and drop to another window of nautilus
[13:11] <jakey1> yeehaw, I see your point, I not clear how to change vbox inet adress
[13:12] <yeehaw> jakey1: Log into it and edit /etc/network/interfaces ?
[13:12] <ripthejacker> i'm using quantal
[13:13] <jpmh> I have an lubuntu  system in which the nm-applet is putting up the message that the network is disconnected and then for some reason exiting - it tells me that there are networks available etc, also tells me I can select one using network menu - but exits so I can not connect - any ideas?
[13:13] <melkor> How do I check what my touchpad hardware is?
[13:14] <zetheroo> what is the latest version of Qemu for Ubuntu 12.04 ?
[13:17] <pitoow> nowadays, what is the best program i can install on ubuntu to download mp3's ?
[13:17] <yeehaw> pitoow: Spotify
[13:18] <yeehaw> pitoow: But it's more streaming
[13:18] <yeehaw> pitoow: And you need a premium account
[13:18] <xpati90x> ciao
[13:18] <yeehaw> !warez | pitoow
[13:19] <pitoow> yeehaw, hum... i
[13:19] <yeehaw> pitoow: Or did you mean legal mp3's?
[13:19] <ra7v> reinstalling... seems like no options left
[13:20] <pitoow> yeehaw,legal or not..
[13:20] <yeehaw> pitoow: Ubuntu one has a music store which you can use
[13:20] <yeehaw> pitoow: https://one.ubuntu.com/
[13:20] <nearst> hi ppl
[13:20] <eric_hungern> hello. i have a problem with themes. i have ubuntu 12.04 and when i try to use orta theme it is not set for the small windows but when i maximize the window theme works good
[13:20] <pitoow> yeehaw, I used to use frostwire
[13:21] <eric_hungern> theme problem is metacity problem or gtk problem??
[13:21] <yeehaw> pitoow: Piracy is not allowed
[13:23] <melkor> Why would avahi daemon be using 50% of my cpu?
[13:23] <zetheroo> what command will show me the running version of Ubuntu?
[13:23] <yeehaw> melkor: Where do you see that?
[13:23] <melkor> yeehaw: top
[13:24] <aguu> every time i try ubuntu again, i fall back to having to hack and mess with config files
[13:24] <aguu> instead on windows, everything runs! poorly but it mostly works
[13:24] <yeehaw> melkor: Could you do 'top -n 1 | pastebinit' and give me the link?
[13:24] <aguu> fixing is just reinstalling
[13:24] <jpmh> aguu: please be specific - what do you need o hack and mess with and why?
[13:25] <melkor> yeehaw: It was using 100%, I restarted the daemon and it was usng 50% for about a minute and now it is running ok.
[13:26] <aguu> jpmh: had to edit zone files for DNS setup... that sucks
[13:26] <melkor> So I could paste the top output but the daemon isn't there.
[13:26] <aguu> jpmh: had to look at named logs in order to even notice there was an error
[13:26] <jpmh> aguu: why did you need to edit them - what was not working?
[13:27] <yeehaw> melkor: If you see it running 100%, it is only one core/thread if you have a multi-core cpu probably. I have no idea why in your specific case it was misbehaving, do you see anything in the logs?
[13:27] <zetheroo> ok, having absolutely no luck finding out which version of Qemu is running here ... any takers?
[13:27] <jpmh> aguu: I run literally hindreds of linux systems and can not remember the last time I needed to edit a zone file unless I was doing something VERY strange
[13:27] <cvele> can anyone help me with MyPhoneExplorer installation? (ubuntu 12.04 x86_64) Thanx
[13:28] <yeehaw> aguu: Don't you mean resolv.conf ?
[13:29] <aguu> no
[13:29] <aguu> i am running a DNS server
[13:29] <aguu> on windows I get a nice UI
[13:29] <yeehaw> aguu: Lol, but you would have to edit zones in Windows too if you want to add or remove records
[13:29] <aguu> nope
[13:29] <jpmh> aguu: what dns server?  And is is serving other machines or just itself
[13:30] <aguu> not hacking text files at least.
[13:30] <aguu> it's going to serve others through the internet
[13:30] <yeehaw> aguu: What's the difference? The only difference as far as I'm concerned is that it's more work to edit in a gui
[13:31] <jpmh> aguu: 1) why are you running a DNS server and 2)  what do you need to set when running a server under ubuntu that you do not need to set using windoze, 3) is it the authoritive server for some zone(s)?
[13:31] <melkor> yeehaw: nothing strange in the logs for avahi there was a message 1 hour ago, I think when I rebooted.
[13:32] <jpmh> yeehaw: and aguu  I tend to dind when it is things like a zone file that it is MUCH safer and more powerful to use a decent editor that a gui
[13:33] <yeehaw> melkor: I don't know then
[13:34] <yeehaw> jpmh: agreed
[13:35] <jpmh> aguu: I would also add that typically anything that is in a text file and can be edited is MUCH easier to automate and backup etc
[13:36] <Peanut> Hi, is it still possible to run Ubuntu 12.04 without network-manager? I've got a cluster of 42 compute-servers to manage, and I would like to be able to stick to /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/network/interface. In 10.04, I just made sure network-manager never got installed, but with 12.04 I get the dreaded 'waiting another 60 seconds for network configuration' on boot, even though the network is configured just fine.
[13:36] <jpmh> aguu: I am by no means a windoze expert but it is interesting to note that Microsoft use unix to run their dns servers, not windoze
[13:38] <yeehaw> Peanut: I'm assuming you use desktop? On server we mostly remove resolvconf and do excactly what you just said
[13:39] <melkor> When I run a program with alt-f2 is there a way to get terminal type output, because the program doesn't run and I'm not sure why. It starts up and I see a splash screen though. Also it will run from the cmd line.
[13:39] <aguu> jpmh: i don't need to automatize. i just wanted a simple UI to edit my DNS ... on windows it worked fine
[13:39] <albroz> hello, have any of you lost any files just like puffffff
[13:39] <albroz> ?
[13:40] <jrib> melkor: try ~/.xsession-errors
[13:41] <jpmh> aguu: how much simpler can it be than to add a couple of lines to a zone file?  What does a gui do for you in a case like this, surely you need to add the entries and what else is there?
[13:41] <k1l_> albroz: is there a support issue behind that question?
[13:42] <jpmh> aguu: what file(s) are you needing to edit and what zone entries are you needing to edit
[13:43] <albroz> hmmm .... no error msg or nothing, had files in the /var/www and now they are gone, the index still exist, the folders still exist ... all in them is gone :( and scalpel found none :(
[13:43] <yeehaw> aguu: And off course you know enough about DNS to not have to use a Wizard I hope
[13:43] <albroz> happened twice
[13:43] <yeehaw> aguu: Then you should'nt be running a DNS server at all
[13:43] <albroz> once while running from an SD card, the other from the hdd ....
[13:43] <yeehaw> aguu: s/Then/Else/
[13:44] <melkor> jrib: some window manager error, strange. Glad it works from the terminal at least.
[13:45] <jrib> melkor: what is it?  Do you want to pastebin?
[13:45] <jpmh> yeehaw: TY for saying that - I was sort of wanting to say it - also sort of smelling a troll - but I 100% agree with you - if you don't understand DNS well enough that a quick edit using vi/emacs or whatever  is so simple you really should not run it - Actually even as owner of 6242 domains we do not run our own servers - it makes little sense
[13:46] <jpmh> aguu: realistically why are you running your own authorititive servers - it is always a risk since you really should have two at largely separate locations
[13:46] <yeehaw> jpmh: :-)
[13:47] <albroz> hmm NM, perms hingy went crazy, fixed ...
[13:47] <albroz> thanks and out
[13:48] <jpmh> aguu: you also gave the impression that there were MANY things - is there anything else or is it just that you prefer a GUI for setting up zone files?  And, btw, there probably is a gui for it if you look
[13:48] <yeehaw> jpmh: gedit or something ;-)
[13:48] <zetheroo> is there any way I can install Qemu 1.2.0 from the quantal repos onto a precise machine?
[13:49] <jpmh> yeehaw: ty for that laugh - yes - I guess gedit is a GUI for text files - never thought of it that way before, :)
[13:50] <jpmh> zetheroo: I would suggest against it generally - it has been my experience that back-porting things that are as complex as qemu is probably not the greatest - what's wrong with the older one?
[13:51] <ripthejacker> how can i achieve drag and drop on ubuntu using nautilus?
[13:51] <ripthejacker> i'm using quantal
[13:51] <zetheroo> jpmh: we have been trying to get a backup script working .. but we need to test it on a newer version of Qemu than 1.1.2
[13:51] <jrib> ripthejacker: it does that by default.  What are you trying to do exactly?
[13:51] <ripthejacker> sorry  my question made no sense
[13:52] <ripthejacker> i want to copy folder/file from one window to another
[13:52] <ripthejacker> jrib, so where do i drag it to?
[13:52] <ripthejacker> the sidebar?
[13:52] <OrgMental> ripthejacker, did you try to right-click and drag?
[13:53] <jpmh> zetheroo: I would suggest if testing is that important and it is so specific that you avoid what you are suggesting - have you tested with virtualbox?
[13:53] <jrib> ripthejacker: i drag it to the white space in the folder or directly to a folder icon
[13:53] <bennypr0fane_> hello, I have trouble playing a DVD with VLC and/or Gnome Mplayer, it says "could not open device /dev/dvd"
[13:53] <LoneTrooper> try smplayer its better
[13:53] <LoneTrooper> get it from ubuntu sotware center
[13:54] <ripthejacker> jrib, i want to move it across different windows
[13:54] <jrib> ripthejacker: yes
[13:54] <aguu> yeehaw, jpmh: i wanted to make a DNS server. Windows does the job. Linux is only for hackers. This applies to almost everything, not just DNS.
[13:54] <LoneTrooper> u mean programs lacks user interface like windows apps?
[13:55] <aguu> The UI shows me exactly which values I am allowed to add, and does not allow for syntax errors or other stupid mistakes.
[13:55] <LoneTrooper> yeh linux mostly its about typing commands in terminal
[13:55] <aguu> there are drop downs, and helpful tips and advices.
[13:55] <bennypr0fane_> LoneTrooper: but apart from the consideration of which is better, it should work in these players just as well shouldn't it?
[13:55] <LoneTrooper> well its all free so it lacks features
[13:55] <jpmh> aguu: clearly you are merely trolling - if you understand dns well enough to be able to set it up right you would be able to do it more quickly with an editor than a gui - you would also know that rarely does it make sense not to outsource this
[13:56] <aguu> on linux, i have to search everywhere on the internet in order to solve SIMPLE SYNTAX errors in the config files.
[13:56] <ripthejacker> jrib, when i drag it foldr icon it just opens a new instance of nautilus
[13:56] <jrib> ripthejacker: where are you dragging it to?
[13:56] <LoneTrooper> well yes ture dat
[13:56] <ripthejacker> *onto folder icon
[13:56] <LoneTrooper> true
[13:56] <jrib> ripthejacker: and what are you dragging?
[13:56] <ripthejacker> the icon on the sidebar
[13:56] <ripthejacker> a folder
[13:56] <aguu> jpmh: i don't need to understand dns well enough. I can learn by doing, AND i don't really need to know or remember how to set up dns. It is done once.
[13:56] <yeehaw> aguu: Wow, never knew I was a hacker
[13:57] <jpmh> aguu: as I said - you clearly do not understand it well enough - but why on earth are you running your own authoritive servers - and do you really have TWO separatel locations to do this from - and if so, how are you administering the remote one with the GUI safely?
[13:57] <jrib> ripthejacker: that's not the behavior I see here.  I open two nautilus windows, select a folder on the left, drag it to a folder on the right, and the directory is moved
[13:57] <ripthejacker> jrib, i want to move a folder from my usb drive to a folder in my home folder how will i do it?
[13:57] <aguu> jpmh: now if you're implying that a user should be completely separated from a power user, then that's just showing the problem that linux has. It's always either be a hacker or be an ignorant user and call support or your linux hacker friend.
[13:57] <jrib> ripthejacker: you can also open up a new pane in nautilus, maybe that's easier to work with?
[13:58] <ripthejacker> ok the windows are maximised
[13:58] <ripthejacker> so no left and right
[13:58] <yeehaw> aguu: trolling much
[13:58] <bennypr0fane_> aguu Linux works better for "people who know" indeed. thast term not implying any judgement whatsoever :-) If you know more, you're better off with Linux, and it'll still require you to learn. If you "don't know stuff", and you're fine with all the limitations, Windows might very well suit you better
[13:58] <aguu> jpmh: on linux you HAVE to hack and be an expert, or spend countless hours investigated how to hack it.
[13:58] <jrib> ripthejacker: go to view -> extra pane
[13:58] <LoneTrooper> try pacman filemanager it allows easily managing files with admin rights
[13:58] <thaurwylth> I am not sure about that assesment.
[13:58] <jamie236> Hello, I'm having some troubles with wireless (I posted a detailed debug output on ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12505523#post12505523). Where would be a good place to ask for help (except #ubuntu) ?
[13:59] <LoneTrooper> its easier than using terminal with sudo command
[13:59] <thaurwylth> Considering the current state of Ubuntu and current state of Windows.
[13:59] <jpmh> aguu: no - that is not what I am saying at all - but what I would say is that if your domains are important then it is VERY important that they be right at the DNS level and if you don't understand it fully then you should not touch it.  I can probably manage to do brain surgery, how complex can it be, with a GUI, but you know, I wouldn't
[13:59] <aguu> bennypr0fane_: you really think memorizing the syntax of DNS zone files is a very useful skill, if it wasn't for linux requiring you do so?
[14:00] <yeehaw> jamie236: Are there any wireless networks around?
[14:00] <ripthejacker> jrib,i know that , so i should have only one window of nautilus open at a time
[14:00] <LoneTrooper> oops sry its pcmanfm that software
[14:00] <jrib> aguu: let's get back to support.  Do you have a support issue that we can help you with?
[14:00] <jamie236> yeehaw: yes, dozens. I'm connected to one right now.
[14:00] <nearst> jamie236, http://pleph.appspot.com/init/posts/view/2657865
[14:00] <aguu> jpmh: wow, this must be rocket science. that explains why i can totally manage just fine on windows. that's a poor excuse.
[14:00] <ripthejacker> i.e i cannot drag and drop across different windows
[14:00] <jpmh> aguu: there is not much to memorize since the files are full of examples - and I certainly would not run any domain I cared about on an OS as insecure as windoze - remember even Microsoft doesn't
[14:01] <nearst> aww
[14:01] <jamie236> thanks nearst , but I tried that already.
[14:01] <jrib> ripthejacker: well if you don't have them maximized, but have them smaller so you can see both at the same time, can you then drag between them?
[14:01] <aguu> jpmh: you should accept linux' flaws. It's understandable, since it is a much smaller company than microsoft and apple, the only two big competitors.
[14:01] <jrib> jpmh: please just drop it
[14:02] <bennypr0fane_> aguu I think yes, definitely useful. I you deal with these things regularly/you have this kind of problems to solve, obviously it's good if you know all that
[14:02] <LoneTrooper> well im new to linux and i need to know if theres a need to install anti virus software on linux distribution like xubuntu?
[14:02] <jpmh> aguu: you don't have that second server do you?  and as to flaws - the fact that Microsoft chooses to run their DNS on unix should tell you which is the more appropriate system - there is mo question Windoze is better for grabbing games, games are written for Windoze
[14:02] <nearst> jamie236, most ppl solve by those fix. echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf
[14:03] <jamie236> nearst: Tried that, nothing changes.
[14:03] <bennypr0fane_> aguu one very, very important aspect of Linux is that it IS NOT a company
[14:03] <LoneTrooper> the only reasonable antivir i found its avast but it was relased in 2009 :/
[14:03] <jpmh> LoneTrooper: there is little need for an anti-virus unless you want to protect mail that passes through your system on the way from one windoze system to another
[14:03] <jrib> aguu, jpmh, bennypr0fane_: merits of windows vs. linux usability > elsewhere please (#ubuntu-offtopic for example.  I'll kick further offtopic discussion here.
[14:03] <LoneTrooper> no updates from this time
[14:03] <bennypr0fane_> DVD/media player anyone? other than trying a different program?
[14:04] <jpmh> LoneTrooper: reason for that is there really is no need
[14:04] <LoneTrooper> well i dont share INTERNET connection with anyone then the answer is no?
[14:04] <bennypr0fane_> jrib alright, it's offtopic - dropping it
[14:04] <yeehaw> bennypr0fane_: VLC /mplayer ?
[14:04] <LoneTrooper> lol good to know
[14:04] <bennypr0fane_> yeehaw, yes
[14:04] <nearst> jamie236, try manual install http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/01/wifix-detect-and-install-wireless-card.html
[14:05] <jpmh> LoneTrooper: even if you did I would not worry - having said that, clearly do not install any unsigned applications and set your system to grab and install all security patches
[14:05] <LoneTrooper> oh i do that
[14:06] <jamie236> nearst: I'll give it a shot now. Thanks for helping me.
[14:06] <jpmh> LoneTrooper: one of the great things about Linux, despite what aguu believes is that there are MANY more people checking the source than there are in Windoze - this is the great advantage of open source
[14:06] <LoneTrooper> and the thing that protect linux based os is the password right? thats why its safe i assume everything needs password to work
[14:06] <marcell> hi can you help me ,im installed gnuradio but i cant found where or how to run it ,im new to linux
[14:06] <nearst> idk why sometime my box "unclickable"
[14:07] <bennypr0fane_> beware guys, restricted area (TOPIC)
[14:07] <LoneTrooper> about that being open source can hackers take advantage of that too its sounds dangerous i mean they can spot bugs in source and use them
[14:07] <nigorex> hello
[14:07] <jpmh> LoneTrooper: not really the password as much as the facts that: 1) the system grew from Unix which was designed to be a connected, multi-user system with security from day one and 2) being open source there are so many people checking and patching
[14:07] <nigorex> how are you  guys
[14:08] <nearst> nigorex, fine ty. hbu
[14:08] <nigorex> im good thx
[14:08] <yeehaw> LoneTrooper: That actually makes linux more secure to an extent, bugs are fixed much faster because of community efforts. Windows can sometimes take very long.
[14:08] <LoneTrooper> yeh thats good people are committing their time to make free stuff work great
[14:08] <jpmh> LoneTrooper: you are right - in theory a hacker could see the open source and use it for bad ends - the good news is that it doe snot seem to happen because there are more good guys and they work faster
[14:08] <nigorex> is there someone to give some advice on ubuntu
[14:09] <DJones> nigorex: Just ask your question, thats the best of starting
[14:09] <family> hi
[14:09] <cvele> hi, can anyone help me with MyPhoneExplorer installation? (ubuntu 12.04 x86_64) Thanx
[14:09] <family> no body here
[14:09] <bennypr0fane_> I was thinking maybe /dev/dvd might not actually mapped to my optical drive. But in that case, the drive wouldn't start acting when I tell the Media player to open a disc, right?
[14:09] <nigorex> i want to get my internet configured on my laptop
[14:09] <LoneTrooper> well yes thass true
[14:09] <jpmh> LoneTrooper: I remember years ago needing a locksmith and I was amazed how quickly he picked the lock - I said to him, why would I use a lock at all if it is that simple, he answered that he had been a cop for 12 years before a locksmith and had never seen a case where a criminal had picked a lock - he said they were not willing to make the investment
[14:09] <nigorex> cause it so slow and it crash my lappy
[14:10] <bennypr0fane_> nigorex nobody even talks about ubuntu, what would make you think you'd get advice about it here?
[14:10] <LoneTrooper> what it has to do with that :III
[14:10] <bennypr0fane_> nigorey just kidding, sorry
[14:10] <nigorex> your awrite
[14:11] <jpmh> LoneTrooper: also consider Apple who sometimes takes weeks and weeks to release patches when something is disclosed like the ssl-bug - linux had it fixed the next day, Windoze took till the next patch-tuesday and Mac took months
[14:11] <LoneTrooper> its that because there r not that many bad guys?
[14:11] <fari> heeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy
[14:11] <bennypr0fane_> fari and heeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy to you toooooo!
[14:11] <nearst> !ask
[14:11] <LoneTrooper> if thats true then its good to be Linux user i assume
[14:11] <fari> benny
[14:12] <jpmh> LoneTrooper: I think it is because smart people tend to be smart and chose to be good guys - being a bad guy is for the lazy and not so smart
[14:12] <dariusz> Hi all. I have problem with php version. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10. I've had 5.4.6 version from ubuntu official repository. Then I want to update, add ondrej repository and after update I have version 5.4.11. Unfortunately I need version 5.4.8. WHat can I do? When I test what versions are available there are only these two on the list. Any ideas?
[14:12] <fari> hi benny
[14:12] <LoneTrooper> well things that are done for passion have more value than things made for money
[14:12] <nigorex> is there someone to help a newbie
[14:12] <nearst> throw out questions
[14:12] <fari> no one
[14:13] <LoneTrooper> well yeh but that mostly applies for computing not in real world

[14:13] <nigorex> how to get squid working for my proxy
[14:13] <bennypr0fane_> LoneTrooper n the current situation my guess is the bad tend to focus on the targets with the biggest marketshare, because where you have moire comnputer s to hack, more people to scam and exploit, simple as that
[14:13] <jamie236_> nearst: No luck. (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1639515/ , if i run wifix as su, i get please sure without su) Do you have any other suggestions (or do you know where I could ask for help) ?
[14:13] <bennypr0fane_> nigorex do explain what is squid
[14:14] <nigorex> a proxy
[14:14] <jpmh> LoneTrooper: I do not agree - I think that the evidence is clear that it applies to the software world too - this is why the open source worls tends to be more secure
[14:14] <bennypr0fane_> fari what is your question? what you need?
[14:14] <nearst> nigorex, usually after sudo apt-get install squid , then squid -z and squid -Ncd1 as i remember
[14:14] <LoneTrooper> yeh windows is more vulnerable just because of its popularity
[14:14] <nigorex> anyway my question how to get the best of internet from ubuntu
[14:14] <fari> me
[14:14] <fari> donet speak english good
[14:14] <bennypr0fane_> fari yes you
[14:14] <bennypr0fane_> jsut ask
[14:14] <bennypr0fane_> *just
[14:15] <fari> what
[14:15] <fari> ?
[14:15] <msch> hey, anyone here using cgroup-bin and trying to assign things started by upstart to cgroups?
[14:15] <bennypr0fane_> fari state your business, say what you want
[14:15] <LoneTrooper> so many ppl here i wonder i all of them r active
[14:15] <fari> h dont understand
[14:15] <bennypr0fane_> nigorex what you mean "out of the internet"?
[14:16] <bennypr0fane_> Lonetrooper prolly not, always like that
[14:16] <nigorex> get a good connection
[14:16] <LoneTrooper> yeh
[14:16] <bennypr0fane_> better like that, makes it easier to follow a conversation
[14:16] <nigorex> squid command not wroking at all
[14:16] <fari> benny ok
[14:16] <fari> but
[14:16] <nigorex> as if all the system is corrupted with worm and so on
[14:17] <bennypr0fane_> nigorey the way I see it, either you have a working connection or you don't - unless we're talking of a bad wifi signal
[14:17] <fari> what do you speak about this room benny
[14:17] <dariusz> Anybody can help how to force php specific version?
[14:17] <nigorex> i have wifi
[14:17] <bennypr0fane_> so I mean apart from factors that lie with your ISP, not a question of quality on your end
[14:18] <jpmh> nigorex: you need to be specific about what is working and what is not - I smell another troll - sadly I need to leave so can not stay to watch the fun
[14:18] <bennypr0fane_> nigorex well do you get a signal?
[14:18] <nigorex> yeahhhhhhhh
[14:18] <nigorex> modem+router
[14:18] <bennypr0fane_> alright, then something must be configured wrong
[14:19] <bennypr0fane_> describe yout network setup
[14:19] <nigorex> can i configure the DNS  and other ip adress would do
[14:19] <nigorex>  i ahve done in the past but done really remmmber now
[14:19] <bennypr0fane_> you have admin access to the router?
[14:20] <bennypr0fane_> you're gonna need all the proper config data

[14:43] <Sendoushi> after following that tut i've showed everything worked

[15:17] <compdoc> OOTB?

[15:18] <dscape> helpful with a laught, thank you

[15:19] <LoneTrooper> in windows
[15:19] <electron_> ryansipes, but its not exactly the same environment as i get in fedora or arch
[15:19] <electron_> for example the message tray
[15:19] <electron_> and the lgoin managers

[15:20] <nearst> aptitude install --without-recommends

[15:20] <joshu> anyone know how I can check if this patch has been applied to ubuntu desktop 12.04 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1639673/
[15:20] <LoneTrooper> i think theres no difrence but it would be smart to put sort of system monitor in your taskbar to see how much os is using ram just to be sure
[15:21] <electron_> k1l_, i installed for the gnome team ppa not from the repos
[15:21] <TXRoadkill> I have a speed improvement tip for Ubuntu 12.10 users
[15:21] <LoneTrooper> and cpu & network usage
[15:21] <k1l_> electron_: but still there are some things from the shell that do interfere with the ubunut way of handling things.
[15:22] <TXRoadkill> My old Dell Dimension 8400 has been really sluggish, especially the video.  I installed the new KDE 4.10 interface, and it has vastly improved the speed of Unity, believe it or not
[15:22] <paiva> alguem portugues aqui ?
[15:22] <LoneTrooper> i dont know what windows environment ur using but in xfce its easy to do so
[15:22] <electron_> k1l_ ,okay ... hmm have you tried it ? do you know how to get the cool login screen from the actual gnome environment in ubuntu ?
[15:22] <broknbottle> xfce ftw
[15:23] <LoneTrooper> yes
[15:23] <TXRoadkill> KDE looks pretty cool in its own right, but Unity works far better after the KDE installation.  Just thought I'd let you all know :)
[15:23] <k1l_> electron_: no i dont.
[15:23] <helmut_> hi
[15:23] <TXRoadkill> Hi helmut_
[15:23] <broknbottle> switched to xfce & dropped unity / pulse audio and no more issue with my htpc
[15:23] <LoneTrooper> unity slows down pc check benchmark on internet and compare other window x environment while running games
[15:24] <LoneTrooper> unity is slowing pc just because of visuals
[15:24] <lasers> DJones, Pici: Sorry about that.
[15:24] <MarKsaitis> apt-get eqvivalent of "dpkg --force-conflicts"????
[15:24] <LoneTrooper> xfce just good enough u can customize it and works fast
[15:24] <LoneTrooper> i will give u that likn 28
[15:24] <BluesKaj> TXRoadkill, not to start a flameer , but to each is own ,,I find KDE much more flexible than Unity
[15:24] <LoneTrooper> w8
[15:25] <TXRoadkill> Hey, I'm going to check out KDE myself.  Just a nice bonus from the installation.
[15:25] <LoneTrooper> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments see all linux based windows environments

[15:47] <varunv> Hi, I want to set a password for my existing IRC channel.
[15:47] <varunv> How do I do it?

[15:48] <joshu> nearst do you recall a day or two ago we discussed a thin client solution I was looking for
[15:49] <faezeh> yah
[15:49] <electron_> gnome shell 3.6 on ubuntu 12.04 is it possible ?"
[15:49] <jhutchins_wk> Sendoushi: Access control on SMB shares is configured in the smb.conf file.
[15:49] <nearst> joshu, ya. im  doin it atm.
[15:49] <joshu> nearst you're creating a thin client?
[15:49] <Sendoushi> jhutchins_wk: done that iwth a lot of lines makes, create directories, force directories... all 777
[15:49] <electron_> ?
[15:49] <nearst> joshu, yup. for my own dev iso
[15:49] <electron_> has anybosyy added gnome shell 3.6 to ubuntu 12.04
[15:50] <Helmuthonian> jrib: Hi thanks first. But I get this fail: Display :0.1 unavailable, simulating -nw
[15:50] <P3N74> GeekSquid: I can't access server-ip:631 from browser
[15:50] <faezeh> i am architect
[15:50] <jrib> Helmuthonian: "DISPLAY=:0 command_here" work ok?
[15:50] <faezeh> i need some help
[15:50] <Helmuthonian> jrib: Je
[15:50] <imark_> electron_: why dont you try googling it, i just did, it took about 3 seconds and bought up plenty of hits
[15:51] <DJones> faezeh: Ask your question, if anybody knows and can help, I'm sure they'll reply
[15:51] <joshu> alright. i still haven't been able to go get anything concrete together. I was on #ltsp and after some discussion someone suggested lightdm and ubuntu mini.isop
[15:51] <jrib> Helmuthonian: I think the .X style only lets you choose different screens, not desktops.  You are using unity?
[15:51] <joshu> *.iso
[15:51] <Helmuthonian> jrib: Yes
[15:51] <nearst> joshu, http://wiki.dennyhalim.com/ubuntu-minimal-desktop will give u an idea :)
[15:52] <Helmuthonian> jrib: I have to mention that i am a newbe
[15:52] <electron_> imark_,hmm well most of them say that it hasnt been completely backported but it is still posiible though through
[15:52] <jrib> Helmuthonian: you might try the following: 1) ccsm might have some rules that let you control where applications open 2) you might be able to use the "wmctrl" command to move windows where you want or 3) you might be able to use devilspie to force applications to open in specific desktops
[15:53] <Helmuthonian> jrib: Thanks for Help I will read about this.
[15:53] <electron_> imark_ by adding another ppa apart from the gnome team 3 (which i dont want to)
[15:53] <vmachine> trying to adjust the speed of my mouse doesnt seem to be working
[15:53] <zykotick9> jrib: :) i was surprised by your answer to Helmuthonian, i'd tried doing this before: and failed, couldn't believe it was so easy - so I wrote it down for later.  now :(..
[15:54] <joshu> nearst thanks I'll have a look. just want to discuss conceptually
[15:54] <nearst> vmachine, http://justinstories.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/how-to-adjust-the-pointer-speed-and-other-touch-padmouse-settings-in-ubuntu/
[15:55] <imark_> electron_: gnome devs wont backport 3.6 to to 12.04, someone else has packaged it so your choices are use that other persons package or compile from source manually,
[15:55] <joshu> the requirements are that the laptop hardware is fully supported, e.g. graphics, wifi, ehernet. read-only ubuntu OS which the user cannot modify.
[15:55] <electron_> imark_, oh ... okay thank you
[15:56] <rbobby> this team3 at wisesmoke
[15:56] <imark_> electron_: i recommend using the other ppa, if your worried about having an unstable system then your stuck with 3.4, thats why they don't backport all the time, stability. you could try it in virtualbox to test it out
[15:57] <electron_> imark_ hmm okay ... have you tried it though ?
[15:57] <holywater> hii
[15:57] <joshu> when the user powers on the laptop presented with a login prompt. user must either be connected via LAN or UTMS usb modem. When the user logins in the a check is done to see if it is LAN or USB modem connected. if the later the modem connects. once the laptop has an internet connection, a cisco vpn session is established and finally an RDP session to terminal server.
[15:58] <joshu> someone in #ltsp suggested that lightdm has the right capability and together with ubuntu mini would be a solution to investigate
[15:58] <imark_> electron_: no i havent, im using 12.10, generally a bad idea to backport too many packages unless you really know what you're doing, you can end up with broken dependency problems,
[15:58] <vmachine> nearst: installed the program but alt f1 doesnt open it
[15:59] <K1rk> Has anyone ever seen this issue with a WINE program, where you can not actually click anything even though the mouse movement and mouseover works?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2113787
[15:59] <vmachine> did  search for gpointing nothing shows up
[15:59] <electron_> imark_, cool ... and ive noticed that unity consumes up more battery than when i use gnome shell ... have you tried that out too ?
[15:59] <nearst> vmachine, paste on terminal
[16:00] <vmachine> paste what on terminal..? the program says its installed
[16:01] <imark_> electron_: i dont use either, i prefer cinnamon, but they all use the gnome3 libraries, they should all require the same resources, unity uses compiz though, which is a bit of a hog, thats probably why unity is worse for power
[16:01] <nearst> linear to moore law :|
[16:03] <zykotick9> electron_: you could install powertop to get power difference between unity/gnome-shell if you really wanted.
[16:05] <joshu> nearst any thoughts on lightdm as i've described?
[16:05] <electron_> zykotick9 ... ubuntu has a power-statistics app ...  theres upower --dump as another option tto :)
[16:10] <nearst> joshu, worth to try
[16:13] <vmachine> i cannot get the gpointing device menu up in 12.10 using unity
[16:13] <vmachine> alt-f1 doesnt work
[16:14] <nearst> ctrl+alt+t
[16:14] <nearst> that only keyboard binding
[16:14] <vmachine> ok that brings up terminal
[16:14] <vmachine> i need to open the app
[16:15] <yeehaw> gtksudo gpointing in the terminal?
[16:15] <yeehaw> gksudo gpointing I mean
[16:16] <exalt> hello how will ubuntu 13.04 handle my optimus card differently than 12.10 ?
[16:16] <craigbass1976> What's the preferred method for stopping unwanted ssh login attempts?  I used to use denyhosts
[16:16] <vmachine> nothing happens
[16:16] <vmachine> no errors from the command
[16:16] <jrib> craigbass1976: what's wrong with denyhostst?
[16:16] <broknbottle> craig901: csf works really good
[16:17] <craigbass1976> jrib, nothing that I remember.
[16:17] <DJones> exalt: Probably worth joining #ubuntu+1 and asking that question, thats the support channel for 13.04
[16:17] <jrib> craigbass1976: use what works :)
[16:17] <joshu> is there a specific lightdm channel or can I ask questions related to that here?
[16:17] <nearst> exalt, devel platform still
[16:18] <zykotick9> craigbass1976: fail2ban is pretty neat.  might not be what you're looking for though?

[16:19] <PrincessLuna> Hi, need some urgent help. I have a hard-disk partitioned using GPT scheme. It has a 260GB Win8 partition and unalocated space. I was to resize to Win partition smaller and dual boot ubuntu but Ubuntu sees the entire disk as unallocated space.
[16:20] <vmachine> i think its  a unity desktop issue
[16:21] <fully_human> PrincessLuna: Unfortunately with Windows 8, Micro$oft has burned their own disk image onto the hard drive. You'll have to choose between Windows and Linux.
[16:21] <fully_human> Rather, they've burned their image onto the firmware.
[16:21] <elitenovell> how do i install freebsd
[16:22] <broknbottle> fully_human: I do not believe you are correct
[16:22] <elitenovell> oops wrong chatroom sorry
[16:22] <PrincessLuna> fully_human: I'm pretty sure that is incorrect. Besides its a fresh install of win8 not oem.
[16:22] <nearst> #freebsd
[16:22] <PrincessLuna> fully_human: Its just that my PC can only boot GPT partitioned disks rather than mbr

[16:46] <debiantoruser> # aptitude install -f
[16:47] <debiantoruser> 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1250 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[16:47] <k1l_> debiantoruser: under ubuntu (which ubuntu are you using?) use apt-get instead
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> debiantoruser  are you using debian or ubuntu?
[16:47] <debiantoruser> It want to remove all of gnome apps, etc
[16:47] <OerHeks> debiantoruser, on a 64 bit system ?
[16:47] <debiantoruser> MonkeyDust, this question is about ubuntu
[16:48] <michyprima> PrincessLuna: I'm asking because most motherboards prefer legacy boot over uefi by default
[16:48] <debiantoruser> OerHeks, yes 64 bit, but there is no 32bit in this 1250 packages
[16:48] <OerHeks> debiantoruser, do not use aptitude, it is depreciated
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> debiantoruser  use apt-get -f install, so not aptitude
[16:48] <debiantoruser> k1l_, i use ubuntu 12.10, apt-get install -f totally quite
[16:48] <dreamer000> Hello, can someone explain how to get libxml-sax-perl installed on precise?
[16:48] <debiantoruser> quite silent
[16:49] <k1l_> debiantoruser: pastebin the problem , please
[16:49] <debiantoruser> OerHeks, i'm serios, why apt-get install -f don't want todo anything, when aptitude install -f want to remove 1250 packages?
[16:49] <debiantoruser> k1l_, one moment
[16:49] <k1l_> debiantoruser: if you only want to remove the files marked than use apt-get autoremove
[16:49] <OerHeks> debiantoruser, aptitude cannot handle 32 + 64 bit dependencies
[16:49] <OerHeks> !aptitude
[16:50] <jrib> OerHeks: that's been patched in later releases (12.10 should include them)
[16:50] <PrincessLuna> michyprima: Windows refused to install on an MBR partition table and formatted the disk as GPT, which means it must have booted as UEFI
[16:50] <debiantoruser> k1l_, http://pastebin.com/0vL9xufB
[16:51] <OerHeks> jrib good news
[16:51] <debiantoruser> k1l_, http://pastebin.com/VpWLv6RN
[16:51] <debiantoruser> apt-get autoremove wantn't remove anything
[16:52] <OerHeks> debiantoruser, what are  you trying to install ?
[16:52] <debiantoruser> OerHeks, nothing
[16:52] <debiantoruser> i just try to keep system clean
[16:52] <MonkeyDust> debiantoruser  use apt-get -f install, so not aptitude
[16:52] <michyprima> PrincessLuna: perfect then. please then select manually the Ubuntu CD through the boot menu (ESC/F11 usually) and select the voice that reports uefi. maybe your motherboard booted the CD in legacy mode
[16:52] <k1l_> debiantoruser: you have some PPAs on? what did you install? can you show a "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get upgrade"?
[16:52] <debiantoruser> k1l_, no, generic sources.list
[16:53] <MonkeyDust> debiantoruser  post a pastebin of apt-get update
