[00:00] <PatrickDickey> thaurwylth: you can click on the flag to find out which version it's fixed in. Or if the fix has been released or not. But, yes, it typically means that they have a fix for the problem.
[00:00] <alsu> thaurwylth: I know what I'm doing version-wise, but I'm not sure how to ask aptitude to do it
[00:01] <L3top> kate_r: you are welcome to try... however typically the depndency nigtmare will persist your isssue. Feel free to try, but do not rm the files, simply mv them someplace safe.
[00:01]  * PatrickDickey is going to defer to L3top on kate_r's question. He knows a lot more about this than I do.
[00:02] <kate_r> L3top, so is everything under /etc/apt/sources.list.d a ppa name?
[00:02] <kate_r> repo name, i mena
[00:02] <L3top> yes kate_r...
[00:03] <kate_r> e.g., ppa-purge google-chrome.list?
[00:03] <kate_r> or without '.list'?
[00:04] <thaurwylth> Alsu, I have no experience on how to do that, but my first advice would nonetheless be: don't try Aptitude, try directly with Apt from the command line. Ah, but yes, you need to activate the repositories somehow. Even I do it graphically these days. Tricky.
[00:08] <kate_r> L3top, hmm i've tried many combinations but nothing seems to be found: http://pastebin.com/sSPjj9Ry
[00:09] <blud> my hard drive fails to mount, is there anything i can do?
[00:10] <bfortified> wana have a lil fun with my wife and her fresh Ubuntu install (her first) easy way to open a terminal and echo somthing on it from ssh?
[00:10] <nrdb> I have a virbr0 setup, with a br_tap (<IP_ADDRESS>) interface attached.... I have some VirtualBox guests using bridge networking to virbr0... wireshark says that virbr0 is getting ARP packet looking for <IP_ADDRESS> , but not getting a response :-( ... when I ping from the host to <IP_ADDRESS> everything works fine... can anyone give me any pointers on what is wrong?
[00:10] <PatrickDickey> blud, what error messages do you get when you try to mount it?
[00:10] <bjrohan> Does anyone have experience with Kazam? Mine only records audio intermittently in the video :-(
[00:11] <qmanjr5> bfortified: SSH in, run gnome-terminal
[00:11] <qmanjr5> Well, that's for gnome-terminal
[00:12] <bfortified> qmanjr5: k can do that. Would this work? gnome-terminal echo "Hello"

[00:14] <saikobee> My tty in Ubuntu 12.10 goes offscreen sometimes. The last few lines will just be offscreen. I think this might have started after I used dpkg-reconfigure console-setup. Any ideas anyone?
[00:15] <johnjacobjingerh> how might i move a swap partition to the end of a disk?
[00:15] <PatrickDickey> blud paste the mount command in here (the one you're using)
[00:15] <johnjacobjingerh> right now i have it smack between one partition and one unallocated space
[00:15] <nrdb> johnjacobjingerh, you don't need to move... just create one there and use it
[00:16] <anadon> blud: NTFS size should be well over 1024--I'd guess someone set a magnet on your HDD.
[00:16] <johnjacobjingerh> how do I tell ubuntu to use that as the SWAP?
[00:16] <anadon> johnjacobjingerh: fdisk?
[00:16] <johnjacobjingerh> gparted
[00:16] <blud> sudo mount -t ntfs -3g /dev/sdb1 /media/external
[00:17] <nrdb> johnjacobjingerh, it has to be the correct disk type... see fdisk ... then use the "swapon" command
[00:17] <anadon> johnjacobjingerh: that's a google question
[00:17] <blud> more info: this drive doesnt get recongized in windows, there seems to be something wrong with this drive. I was hoping i could some how still access it in windows or see the file names or something
[00:17] <nrdb> johnjacobjingerh, you might need to setup /etc/fstab too.
[00:17] <lapak10> any good alternative to DREAMWEAVER for ubuntu???
[00:18] <PatrickDickey> johnjacobjingerh: create the partition and format it as swap.  Once you know that the new swap works, change the information in /etc/fstab.
[00:18] <johnjacobjingerh> ah ok
[00:18] <johnjacobjingerh> thanks patrickdickey i'll give that a shot as soon as my system is finishing being installed
[00:18] <PatrickDickey> johnjacobjingerh: I'd close everything that you don't need open before you do the swapoff and swapon commands though. Otherwise you could have problems.
[00:18] <anadon> blud:  No.    Unless you want to sort though the 0's and 1's it is very hary.  Services like that takes days to weeks and cost more than your computr.
[00:18] <mz|`> lapak10: vim.
[00:18] <saikobee> lapak10: Bluefish?
[00:19] <nrdb> I have a virbr0 setup, with a br_tap (<IP_ADDRESS>) interface attached....

[00:19] <blud> there's go to be *something* i can do though right? (or Try)
[00:19] <PatrickDickey> johnjacobjingerh: You do know that it won't matter which position the swap is in, right? it just has to be there.
[00:19]  * PatrickDickey has had swap sandwhiched between three or four partitions
[00:20] <saikobee> lapak10: Aptana, Amaya, WebStorm IDE, OpenOffice, BlueGriffon
[00:20] <saikobee> lapak10: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_HTML_editors
[00:20] <johnjacobjingerh> PatrickDickey, yes i know, but it's setting between my "/" partition and a 800GB of unallocated space
[00:20] <lapak10> @saikobee thanks!
[00:20] <saikobee> lapak10: No problem, I got that all from Wikipedia ;)
[00:20] <johnjacobjingerh> it's preventing me from extending my "/" to the 800GB space
[00:20] <anadon> nrdb: context?  That might be more a dev channel question.  Anyways, routing on the host OS or phisical bridge?
[00:20] <PatrickDickey> johnjacobjingerh: Ahhh. that explains a lot then.
[00:20] <johnjacobjingerh> yea
[00:21] <johnjacobjingerh> i didnt want a second partition
[00:21] <lapak10> having problem while creating AD-HOC wifi between win7 and ubuntu....any solution to this??
[00:21] <PatrickDickey> johnjacobjingerh: after you do the swapoff and swapon commands, then use gparted to remove the swap between the two partitions. And then resize it.
[00:21] <thaurwylth> OK, I put it up on Askubuntu as well: http://askubuntu.com/questions/207404/does-the-ati-graphic-problem-from-12-04-listed-as-bug-725580-still-exist-in-12-1
[00:21] <PatrickDickey> johnjacobjingerh: you're doing a fresh install right now, correct?
[00:21] <anadon> lapak10: which propocols are you using?
[00:21] <johnjacobjingerh> yes PatrickDickey
[00:22] <johnjacobjingerh> but i'm midway through when i realized what i did
[00:22] <lapak10> protocols???
[00:22] <johnjacobjingerh> so i dont want to have to stop it
[00:22] <lapak10> not sure??
[00:22] <PatrickDickey> johnjacobjingerh: there's a much easier but more boring way to do it then. ;-) When this installation is done, redo the installation. Choose the option to "Use the entire drive".
[00:22] <lapak10> which one to use??......
[00:22] <johnjacobjingerh> i'm just gonna change it after the fact
[00:22] <nrdb> anadon, its is a virtual bridge .... the ping from the host (where the virtual bring and the tap inteface) is OK ... but I can't seem to ping from the VM ... even with the ARP requests appearing in the bridge interface.
[00:22] <anadon> Hey, trying to install unity from scratch and nux has compile issues.  Assistance?
[00:22] <johnjacobjingerh> PatrickDickey, yea i guess... lol
[00:23] <anadon> nrdb: are there any firewalls?  Is the VM set up to return pings?  Many OS's ignore rouge traffic.
[00:23] <nrdb> anadon, you might need to install some -dev packages to get header files.
[00:23]  * PatrickDickey my old boss always used to say work smarter--not harder. Sometimes the easiest solution is the best one to do. Instead of putting a lot of effort into doing it the hard way.
[00:23] <lapak10> WIN 7 AND UBUNTU ADHOC WIFI ISSUES.........ASSISTANCE PLSSS
[00:24] <anadon> nrdb: I'm installing from arch -- I did that and nux still doesn't compile.  I've resorted to pulling from the git repo's and they still haven't worked.
[00:24] <MonkeyDust> PatrickDickey  that's sounds almost like ockham's knife
[00:24] <nrdb> anadon, the VM is sending the pings not receiving them
[00:24] <MonkeyDust> !caps | lapak10
[00:24] <johnjacobjingerh> lapak10, whats the question??
[00:25] <nrdb> anadon, the VM is a fresh 12.04.1 install
[00:25] <anadon> nrdb: the VM part of the VM might be doing something.
[00:25] <lapak10> ohk....i'm having problem while creating a wifi adhoc between win7 and ubuntu12.04
[00:26] <anadon> lapak10: which protocols???
[00:26] <lapak10> i am a beginner...dn know whot protocols means
[00:27] <nrdb> anadon, I am using VirtualBox for the VM there is an ARP request but no response from the tap interface.
[00:27] <anadon> lapak10: Then you have a ton of reading to do.  AD-HOC is a grouping of protocols....wiipedia it.
[00:27] <lapak10> ok :(
 booh-: Could you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"?   <---- no.
[00:29] <Jordan_U> booh-: Why not?
[00:29] <anadon> nrdb: The packet is either being lost in the host OS or the VM part of the VM.  Check VM settings for networking and you host OS's networking and security settings.  In there has to be the answers.  Else its with virtual drivers at which point I'm out.
[00:29] <booh-> ubuntu isn't installed :p
[00:29] <Jordan_U> booh-: Can you boot from a LiveCD/USB and run "sudo blkid" and pastebin the output?
[00:30] <nrdb> anadon, I can see (via wireshark) that there is a ARP request... brctl says the tap interface is connected... but I dont get a response fro the ARP request from the tap interface
[00:31] <anadon> nrdb: tap?  What is the exact network setup?  This is in the details.
[00:31] <alsu> is there a command to move a file and symlink it back to where it was?
[00:31] <anadon> nrdb: brctl?
[00:31] <nrdb> anadon, a virtual bridge acts like a network hub doesn't it?
[00:31] <alsu> like: mv a b; ln -s b a
[00:32] <booh-> Jordan_U, blkid give me that this drive is ddf_raid_member type.
[00:32] <Jordan_U> alsu: Probably not a single command, though you could make a script / function which would do both operations for you.
[00:33] <anadon> nrdb: No.  A bridge is directed somewhat.  Physical bridges actually are no longer fanufactured, rather switches are used which do have fairly precise redirection and can have security.
[00:33] <booh-> But... If I try to dmraid -E -r /dev/sde I received errors
[00:33] <alsu> Jordan_U: it just seems like something someone would have made. you could call it "rl" for "relocate"
[00:33] <Jordan_U> booh-: Can you pastebin those errors?
[00:33] <booh-> nope, too much informations
[00:34] <anadon> nrdb: Wikipedia networking bridge, networking hub, and networking switch--they'll give some preliminary groundwork for your setup.
[00:34] <Jordan_U> booh-: Why can't you copy and paste into http://pastebin.ubuntu.com or use the "pastebinit" command?
[00:35] <alsu> Jordan_U: the hardest part is figuring out where the file actually ended up. "mv foo /tmp" for example put the file at /tmp/foo not /tmp
[00:36] <asl^^> hi
[00:36] <nrdb> anadon, ok .. thanks
[00:37] <anadon> nrdb: sorry, the problem is in the fine details of your setup.  It's really hard to give a simple answer.
[00:37] <anadon> FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
[00:40] <Jordan_U> alsu: I think the only special case is when the destination is a directory, and you can simply check for that. #bash can probably help you write a fairly robust script.
[00:40] <booh-> blkid doesn't show me sdc nor sde.  sdd tell me raid member
[00:41] <booh-> dmraid -E -r /dev/sdd  answer: ERROR: ddf1: seeking device "/dev/sdd" to<PHONE_NUMBER>90048

[00:42] <Jordan_U> booh-: Is there anything on that disk that you want to preserve?
[00:43] <booh-> no
[00:44] <meyou> is it possible to install ubuntu to a separate partition without a bootcd/usb boot?
[00:45] <meyou> i'd like to install from win7 but not to the fake disk method
[00:45] <Jordan_U> booh-: Try running "sudo wipefs --all /dev/sdd"
[00:45] <meyou> i've got free space already on my ssd that windows boots from, any way to get grub and a base install done
[00:45] <meyou> w/o a boot cd or usb stick?
[00:45] <nv> wubi
[00:46] <nv> wubi lets you install ubuntu in windows
[00:46] <meyou> wubi always goes onto an existing partition tho right?
[00:46] <meyou> i have unpartitioned space, would like to do a 'normal' install with real partitions
[00:46] <nv> it installs ubuntu like it is a normal program
[00:46] <MonkeyDust> meyou  wubi goes on a space inside windows
[00:46] <Jordan_U> meyou: There are a few ways to accomplish that, none that I can think of that are any less than very complicated.
[00:46] <meyou> i see
[00:47] <meyou> wonder if i can rig my galaxy nexus to boot/install from then
[00:47] <nv> another option would be to download virtualbox and run Ubuntu in virtual machine
[00:47] <booh-> now in blkid, I saw non of my 3 sata drives.
[00:47] <meyou> i have vmworkstation but i want a native install
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> 13.04 locked and loaded :)
[00:47] <meyou> looks like i need to break down and buy a blank cd
[00:47] <nv> galaxy nexus runs ubuntu but you may need to jtag
[00:47] <booh-> ( I also have 2 hardware drives and 1 ide drive.  I saw them)
[00:48] <MonkeyDust> ActionParsnip  you're a geek
[00:48] <meyou> when will we get bios-level iso mounting!
[00:48] <booh-> I supposed in blkid I only see drives with valid partitions?
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: why so? I'd say more of a masochist :)
[00:48] <Jordan_U> meyou: If it can present itself as a USB mass storage device, and if it doesn't also present itself as a CDROM drive (as odd as that sounds, most do), or if your firmware won't be confused by it presenting itself as both a CDROM drive an a USB Mass Storage device, then yes. You can just use it as you would any other USB drive.
[00:49] <meyou> well it shows up in windows as a media device
[00:49] <booh-> Thanks for the wipefs command, I didn't know this command
[00:49] <meyou> slightly different than my old mytouch did, it had a drive letter
[00:49] <nv> jtag
[00:50] <Jordan_U> booh-: You're welcome. And yes, blkid only lists devices which have fileystems or some type of metadata about which it can report.
[00:50] <Jordan_U> meyou: There is probably a setting on the phone to have it present itself as USBMS.
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> booh-: I'd check in BIOS to ensure the devices are detected
[00:51] <booh-> ActionParsnip, Yes they are.
[00:51] <shadowhawkins> hello
[00:51] <spacebarbarian> i can ping IPs but no hosts being resolved anyone know how to fix dns issue without specifying it manually ?
[00:52] <spacebarbarian> 'host google.com' says timed out no servers could be reached
[00:52] <booh-> I have a system install in this system (from scratch) with others drives.  I would like to know if I reinstall all or it's easy to add 3 Sata drives into a Soft Raid Array (raid1) ?
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> spacebarbarian: run:   echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
[00:53] <booh-> I know how to do it install process... but I don't know how to do it in a working system
[00:53] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: I just had booh- run a command which explicitly deletes all metadata that blikid would recgnise, so it's perfectly normal for blkid to not show it now.
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> spacebarbarian: then retry web access etc
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: I see
[00:53] <ping__> how to instal minimal iso, withc chroot ?
[00:54] <keithclark> I don't seem to be able to get scp to work.  I tried it with the following syntax:  scp keithclark@sample.dlinkddns.com:/movies/PlatoonCD1.avi Platoon.avi but I get a 'No such file' error
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> ping__: you can have grub2 boot the ISO, why would you need a chroot? just boot the CD and install.
[00:54] <keithclark> Does it have to be an absolute directory?
[00:54] <booh-> I will do a reinstall... faster ;-)
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> keithclark: you can also use filezilla
[00:55] <Jordan_U> keithclark: Lose the leading '/'.
[00:55] <keithclark> Jordan_U, oops, thanks!
[00:55] <Jordan_U> keithclark: You're welcome :)
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> booh-: how is it faster? The mini ISO is about 25Mb, so once you have that booted, the rest is all network based. It won't be much faster at all
[00:56] <spacebarbarian> ActionParsnip, still cant resolve, i can see the entry in /etc/resolv.conf
[00:56] <keithclark> ActionParsnip, No, filezilla will not work in this case.  I am transferring between two remote machines via command line.
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> spacebarbarian: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[00:56] <spacebarbarian> yes
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> keithclark: are both systems desktopless?
[00:56] <keithclark> ActionParsnip, yup
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> spacebarbarian: is the OS fuly updated?
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> keithclark: gotcha
[00:57] <spacebarbarian> spacebarbarian, no because it doesnt have internet :P
[00:57] <keithclark> ActionParsnip, I'm just not used to scp transfers.  Too much time spent in GUI lands!
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> spacebarbarian: if you run:  sudo apt-get update     does it work ok?
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> keithclark: you'll get there ;)
[00:57] <spacebarbarian> nope
[00:57] <spacebarbarian> ActionParsnip, stuck on ocnnecting to ubuntu server
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> spacebarbarian: what is the error you get?
[00:58] <spacebarbarian> closed it before it gave an error 1 sec ill let it run
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> spacebarbarian: do you use a static IP?
[00:58] <allquixotic> Hi, how can I rig up a script that executes when networkmanager brings up a network interface? (*any* interface would be ideal, but I could also live with a *specific* interface)
[00:59] <Starcraftmazter> hi
[00:59] <spacebarbarian> no this is running in virtualbox by the way, it has a DHCP IP and i can ping pretty much any IP
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> allquixotic: I believe wicd can do that
[00:59] <Starcraftmazter> i am using ubuntu 10.04, am i able to find mirrors for its packages anywhere still?
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> spacebarbarian: ahhhhhh, did you set the network to bridged mode?
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: Lucid is supported on both server and desktop til April 2013
[01:00] <kostkon> Starcraftmazter, 10.04 is still supported, the repos are still up.
[01:00] <Starcraftmazter> kostkon: ActionParsnip: sorry i meant 11.04
[01:00] <spacebarbarian> ActionParsnip, yeah its been working fine on bridged till today i just rebooted the VM and it wont resolve any domains
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: its dead tomorrow, or the day after
[01:01] <allquixotic> ActionParsnip: does wicd interfere with or cooperate with network-manager?
[01:01] <Starcraftmazter> ActionParsnip: hasnt been working for me for a long whil;e
[01:01] <kostkon> Starcraftmazter, oh, 11.04 has reached EOL. But check this, it might help you
[01:01] <kostkon> eol | Starcraftmazter
[01:01] <kostkon> oops

[01:01] <Starcraftmazter> basically i am just trying to install a package for 11.04 and i cant
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> allquixotic: it replaces it, you'll need to remove network manager. Let me see if network manager can do similar
[01:02] <allquixotic> ActionParsnip: the wicd packages didn't force me to remove nm

[01:03] <Starcraftmazter> kostkon: i really dont want to upgrade, the reason i havent is because i hate unity
[01:03] <brady> why does the sidebar not always react when i hold the mouse for it to unhide?
[01:03] <Starcraftmazter> kostkon: i just want to install skype for 11.04
[01:04] <kostkon> Starcraftmazter, you can modify your sources.list to point to old-releases.ubuntu.com and then you will be able to install packages
[01:04] <spacebarbarian> ActionParsnip, this vm was running openvpn when i rebooted could that have some leftovers breaking stuff ?
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: grab the deb from the skype site
[01:04] <alusion> When I am viewing the desktop Sphere / Cube / Cylinder with Compiz, I was wondering if there is a way I can zoom in and out?
[01:04] <Starcraftmazter> ActionParsnip: i did, apt doesnt work because of not working sources
[01:04] <kostkon> Starcraftmazter, just remember to give sudo apt-get update afterwards
[01:04] <alusion> While viewing the sphere/cube/cylinder
[01:04] <Starcraftmazter> kostkon: can you elaborate on this a bit
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: then I recommend you upgrade
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: did you run:   sudo apt-get -f install
[01:05] <allquixotic> ActionParsnip, Jordan_U, the solution with putting it in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ looks like the correct approach; better than dhcp3 because it works with non dhcp connections too
[01:05] <allquixotic> thanks to both for the help, i think i have it working now
[01:05] <whitney5> hello
[01:06] <Jordan_U> allquixotic: You're welcome.
[01:06] <Starcraftmazter> ActionParsnip: yes it doesnt work
[01:06] <Starcraftmazter> ActionParsnip: says things like E: Release 'skype-ubuntu_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_amd64.deb' for 'linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic' was not found
[01:06] <Starcraftmazter> ActionParsnip: i really cant use unity, i plan to install a different distro when i build a new computer soonish
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: how are you tring to install the deb exactly?
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: you don't have to use unity
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: Xubuntu, Lubuntu and Kubuntu don't even have it installed. Thought of that?
[01:07] <whitney5> this is xchat ??
[01:07] <kostkon> Starcraftmazter, are you sure that you have a 64bit version of ubuntu?
[01:08] <Starcraftmazter> kostkon: absolutely
[01:08] <Starcraftmazter> ActionParsnip: a matter for another day i think
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> whitney5: this is the ubuntu channel, xchat is just a client to connect to it
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: how did you try and install the deb file you downloaded?
[01:08] <whitney5> ohh  thank u  , im new
[01:08] <Starcraftmazter> ActionParsnip: apt-get -f install package.deb
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: that's not how you install debs
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: apt-get uses the repos, not local debs
[01:09] <kostkon> Starcraftmazter, dpkg -i skype.deb
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: run:  sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/skype-ubuntu_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_amd64.deb
[01:09] <kostkon> Starcraftmazter, actually:  sudo dpkg -i skype_filename.deb
[01:09] <Starcraftmazter> ActionParsnip: kostkon: ah thanks guys it worked ^_^
[01:10] <Dataman> this seems like a very informational server
[01:10] <kostkon> Starcraftmazter, of course you now have to see if it runs ok
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: you're gonna install a tonne of 32bit deps too, the 64bit deb is just 32bit skyoe :)
[01:10] <Dragonster82> Hello everybody!
[01:11] <Starcraftmazter> ActionParsnip: no it seems to work well
[01:12] <sergio> hello everyone
[01:13] <blackshirt> hello
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> Starcraftmazter: your release is dead real soon, you may want to upgrade
[01:14] <Starcraftmazter> ActionParsnip: what do you mean dead?
[01:15] <DarkAceLaptop> who's going to fix the packaging system?
[01:15] <kostkon> !question | DarkAceLaptop
[01:16] <DarkAceLaptop> WINE wants to remove packages it doesn't need to on Ubuntu/Debian-based distros
[01:16] <Guest36621> i've been trying to install Divx and i keep getting this error message like this one encountered a serious problem
[01:16] <DarkAceLaptop> to install itself
[01:16] <spacebarbarian> ActionParsnip, anything else I can try :/ ?
[01:17] <Guest36621> please i've been trying for the last five months
[01:17] <kostkon> DarkAceLaptop, using apt-get or the usc to remove it?
[01:18] <Guest36621> can some please help me?
[01:18] <DarkAceLaptop> kostkon, I'm installing (WINE) and it wants to remove packages it doesn't even know what they are: alien debhelper gettext intltool-debian logmein-hamachi lsb-core po-debconf
[01:18] <kostkon> Guest36621, you mean divx player or the divx codec?
[01:19] <Guest36621> yes divx player
[01:19] <kostkon> Guest36621, with wine?
[01:20] <alsu> how do I install php-fpm on Ubuntu (12.04)?
[01:20] <nv> you need matroska and h264 and mpeg and ffdshow and divx streamer codecs
[01:20] <alsu> oh it's called php5-fpm
[01:21] <Guest36621> i have in my applications  Wine, wine 1.4, winetricks and wine -gecko 1.4
[01:21] <DarkAceLaptop> Guest36621, #winehq
[01:21] <nv> *why* are you trying to install the DivX player in windows? linux does not need it, its not ment for linux
[01:22] <DarkAceLaptop> ^
[01:22] <nv> in linux*
[01:22] <Guest36621> where can i get the #winehg
[01:22] <DarkAceLaptop> /join #winehq
[01:22] <nv> type /join #winehq
[01:22] <OerHeks> divx plays fine in VLC
[01:23] <nv> you just need to install the codecs i mentioned
[01:23] <nv> and you might be missing some audio codec as well
[01:23] <spacebarbarian> my ubuntu vm can ping <IP_ADDRESS> but wont resolve any hostnames anyone know how to fix ?
[01:23] <HulkHogan> nope
[01:23] <MK`> does Ubuntu put cached memory into swap? Or only ram?
[01:24] <davyde> hi everyone!!
[01:24] <HulkHogan> ram b4 swap
[01:24] <nv> it only uses swap when it runs out of ram or goes into hibernation from what i've seen
[01:24] <Guest36621> where can i get this  #winehq ?
[01:24] <nv> type /join #winehq
[01:24] <MK`> thanks HulkHogan.
[01:24] <nv> right here
[01:25] <nv> *why* are you trying to install the DivX player in linux? linux does not need it, its not ment for linux
[01:25] <Dragonster82> Hey guys, anyone here knows how to install the drivers for Nvidia GT 540M in Ubuntu 12.10? I heard that ubuntu still doesn't support Optimus
[01:25] <davyde> i have just installed a ubuntu 12.04 minimal.. now i have to choose DM and DE.. i want to try unity wich packages should i take? and which dm? gdm?
[01:25] <MK`> nv: I have a laptop with limited memory and it tends to put stuff in swap when I have a memory leak or something, but then leave it there. Every few days I need to swap off/swap on to clean it out.
[01:25] <HulkHogan> lightdm?
[01:26] <OerHeks> Dragonster82, optimus > bumblebee >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
[01:26] <Guest36621> where can i get this #winehq ??
[01:26] <Dragonster82> Oerheks I know bumblebee but I want to be able to run everything with my Nvidia graphics. I don't wanna go to terminal and type optirun blablabla
[01:26] <HulkHogan> install wine
[01:27] <nv> MK`,  dont know what to saw. i have a laptop with the same problem. it takes forever to reboot so i just put it to sleep when im done. what i did was make a button that turns swap off and a button that turns swap on
[01:27] <OerHeks> Dragonster82, then don't.
[01:27] <DarkAceLaptop> Guest36621, type /join #winehq
[01:27] <Dragonster82> OerHeks so there is no way that I can set Nvidia as default?
[01:28] <OerHeks> Dragonster82, try #bumblebee here on #freenode, those guys are up2date
[01:28] <nv> i also made a button for rovclock to overclock the grfx and a button to set it back to normal speed
[01:29] <xreal> Hmm. I've installed Fluxbox with XDM on Ubunutu und Debian. I then want to run rDesktop to connect to a Windows client via RDP. The X-server seems to be started by another user than the current user, so I can't access the desktop. When uninstalling XDM, everything works... Any idea?
[01:29] <nv> by button i mean launcher icon
[01:32] <rajmahendra> I have upgraded to 12.10 yesterday when i try to urn some graphic based applications they are not getting started! anyone tell me why ?
[01:33] <nv> uninstall and re-install?
[01:33] <nv> the apps in question
[01:34] <rajmahendra> nv i did that but not working when i double click it its not starting at all.
[01:34] <nv> upgrading distros can be messy. best to make a backup and do a clean install
[01:35] <rajmahendra> nv, i also tried this sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:36] <nv> something is not right, and i dont know how to help you narrow down what package it is. my advise would be to backup you data and do a clean install
[01:37] <davelindberg> @rajmahendra I had similar issues, random things (apps and processes) not working after upgrade.  I opened up terminal and typed "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" without quotes and <enter> and after the updates 12.10 is way better now.
[01:37] <nv> interesting
[01:38] <nv> the sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get dpkg --configure
[01:38] <nv> then*
[01:39] <davelindberg> @nv  I understand that clean installs are best ( for any OS), but is there an easy way to get my data back on Ubuntu?  I am coming from Windows and not sure where get installed yet.
[01:39] <nv> all the stuff you saved is in /home/%youruserfolder%
[01:40] <davelindberg> @nv  Great!  Thanks. :)
[01:40] <nv> you can just copy the folder
[01:42] <rajmahendra> davelindberg, i did the update adn upgrade they are uptodate
[01:43] <ErKa> hei all.. im have problem with ubuntu
[01:43] <rajmahendra> i am trying to run secondlife previous verison it worked fine but 12.10 is not at all running
[01:44] <ErKa> when im booting ubuntu my screen so error
[01:44] <kate_r> hi
[01:44] <ErKa> my VGA using ATI HD 5500
[01:44] <blackshirt> erka, more detail with your problems?
[01:44] <stimoceiver> so I've got a machine thats halfway stuck  between 12.04 and 12.10 ... /etc/lsb-release says 12.10 but /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.info dint have anything about quantal in it post-upgrade
[01:44] <davelindberg> @rajmahendra Ah... When I went from 11.10 to 12.04 (I think) I bought a game I forgot the name, but it wasn't compatible with 12.04 even though it ran in 11.10.  I assumed it was an issue with the game... Vendor could not get me back working so I had to stop playing. :(
[01:45] <kate_r> i've refreshed my repo several times already, but the latest version of libkrb5-3 is still 1.10-beta1.2ubuntu0.1 rather than ubuntu0.3. does anyone know why?
[01:46] <blackshirt> kate_r, what repo you are using?
[01:46] <stimoceiver> also none of the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list mentioned quantal
[01:46] <ErKa> my display being destroyed / error when I boot using ubuntu and other linux distros
[01:46] <stimoceiver> they all still said precise
[01:46] <rajmahendra> davelindberg, noooooooooo i need sl :(  last time i did soem change in  .conf file but i forgot waht i did there
[01:46] <kate_r> blackshirt, i'm using gb
[01:46] <kate_r> 'server form united kingdom'
[01:47] <stimoceiver> so now when i run update manager it asks me if i want to do a partial upgrade... i try but it always fails
[01:47] <ErKa> im using VGA ATI HD 5500 Series
[01:47] <blackshirt> kate_r, i mean, what release are you using ? Quantal ?
[01:47] <kate_r> blackshirt, it's Precise
[01:48] <rajmahendra> any secondlife player here who play on ubuntu ?
[01:48] <ErKa> who can solve my problem :D ??
[01:48]  * rootpt gone
[01:49] <blackshirt> kate_r, if you are not sure, just check on your repos  link to ensure what version the repository have....especially under pool subdir

[01:56] <lucido> I'm using an nvidi gpu with the propriatary drivers, how can I set the refresh rate for my CRT, nvidi-settings only allows 60Hz
[01:57] <bjrohan> I am having issues converting an ffmpeg ogv file to MPEG-4 I get the following error message (using ffWIN) http://paste.ubuntu.com/1311252/
[01:58] <meyou> is it common for realtek 8168 onboard lan to not work w/ livecd's
[01:58] <meyou> found a few topics about it on google but not finding resolution
[01:59] <meyou> when i boot 8.10 livecd it finds it but says it's disconnected and i can't make it connect. looks like there's a better driver from realtek but i dunno how to get it into my iso/livecd
[01:59] <kate_r> blackshirt, i've fixed it. i needed the security update.
[02:03] <dfgas-cr48> anyone know how to get a constant readout of a log file?
[02:06] <adren> hello Ubuntu :D
[02:10] <Cong> !ask adren
[02:10] <Cong> !ask >adren
[02:11] <wilee-nilee> meyou, So what is the 8.10 live cd for here, the server is still running but the regular install is end of life
[02:12] <lahwran> how do I install g77 on ubuntu 12.04?
[02:15] <Cong> in the new version of rhythbox can files be opened by clicking the file from the file manager? I'm correctly running on rhythbox 0.12.8.
[02:15] <Cong> it doesn't work like that in this version.
[02:17] <DaemonicApathy> lahwran: Terminal - "sudo deb http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe ; sudo deb http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates universe ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install g77 blcr-dkms: blcr-util: dkms: fakeroot: libcr0: libibverbs-dev: openmpi-common:" without quotes.
[02:17] <Cong> rhythmbox doesn't play files unless they are in the library.
[02:17] <lahwran> DaemonicApathy: so less recipe-like - you're just saying "use the hardy package"
[02:18] <DaemonicApathy> Sorry, yeah. :-)
[02:18] <lahwran> I was going to just download the g77 package manually ... based on the dependency error I'm getting I think I'll do it your way :p
[02:19] <macbeth_> join #reddit-philadelphia
[02:19] <lahwran> gesundheit
[02:25] <trism> dfgas-cr48: in a terminal? like: tail -f /var/log/somelog; ?
[02:27] <lahwran> okay, forget this, I'm installing ubuntu 8.04
[02:27] <lahwran> (this software is ancient...)
[02:28] <lahwran> are the ubuntu 8.04 repositories still live? that is, can I access them from ubuntu 8.04 or am I going to have to edit stuff to get to them
[02:29] <Lat> wanna be a tumb raider?
[02:29] <lahwran> because I'm upgrading to ubuntu 8.04 from centos 4.3, whose repositories are dead now :p
[02:30] <sdollins> lahwran.
[02:30] <sdollins> You know me o:
[02:30] <bazhang> !ot | sdollins
[02:30] <bazhang> lahwran, 8.04 is eol desktop, early next year eol for server
[02:30] <lahwran> sdollins: see you in #-offtopic
[02:31] <lahwran> bazhang: yes, I need it because of its age
[02:31] <lahwran> bazhang: I want to compile something that hasn't been updated in three years
[02:31] <bazhang> lahwran, then be prepared to upgrade early next year
[02:31] <lahwran> bazhang: no, I plan to throw it out completely within a month :p
[02:31] <lahwran> this is going to be a one-use system
[02:31] <lahwran> well, one use install.
[02:31] <Lat> Okay, ladies and gentlemen. I'm feeling adventure right now. I just installed Quetzal on VirtualBox. What's the recommended way to install the Guest Additions?
[02:32] <lahwran> surely the same as normal? it's in the virtualbox menus
[02:32] <lahwran> Lat: that's not authoritative, by the way; that'd just be the thing I'd try first
[02:34] <Lat> Oh, k, let's put the guest additions situation in hold for right now. "Software Updater just poped out. Is this a Front end for apt-get upgrade?
[02:34] <Lat> Can I use this and later on use apt?
[02:35] <sdollins> yes yes
[02:35] <Lat> reason I'm asking because I know that is not a good idea to use, let's say, aptitude, then apt back and front
[02:39] <przemek_> hi
[02:39] <przemek_> im running ubuntu 12.04 inside virtualbox that is running on osx 10.8
[02:39] <Lat> heh
[02:40]  * Lat high fices przemek_
[02:40] <przemek_> i'm trying to get the isight camera to work inside my vm (inside ubuntu)
[02:40] <Lat> s fices fives
[02:40] <przemek_> has anyone else gotten the isight camera to work inside ubuntu
[02:41] <przemek_> i followed the firmwire-isight-tools toturial that loads the apple firmwrae inside of ubuntu
[02:41] <przemek_> but the camera fails to show up in /dev/video01 on reboot
[02:41] <przemek_> however, when I run the lsusb command the isight camera does show up in the list
[02:41] <Lat> did you try /etc/init.d/udev restart ?
[02:42] <johnjacobjingerh> why doesnt the "apply permissions to enclosed files" in the permissions tab work?
[02:42] <johnjacobjingerh> I click it and it doesnt apply the permissions to the enclosed files
[02:42] <johnjacobjingerh> :-(
[02:42] <przemek_> ill try that now; i figured that would have run when I rebooted
[02:42] <OerHeks> you need isight-firmware-tools, i think, maybe this haowto is only for native ubuntu on mac > http://turanct.wordpress.com/2010/06/11/use-your-macs-isight-on-ubuntu/
[02:43] <przemek_> ya those are the exact instructions i followed
[02:44] <przemek_> ya maybe it is only for ubuntu native on mac
[02:44] <przemek_> but not inside a vm
[02:44] <przemek_> :-(
[02:44] <caaakeeey> hey, im trying to run 12.10 in virtual box on w8, but the window manager crashes, and all i see is a blank background, i can use the terminals fine... what's the issue and how do i fix it?
[02:44] <przemek_> actually, not true in that tutorial it says it should work for native ubuntu and also inside a VM
[02:45] <przemek_> however; that blog is from 2 years ago...
[02:46] <OerHeks> it looks simular to other isight blogs/solutions
[02:46] <przemek_> ya and I haven't seen anything newer so I figured it was one of those things that still works today
[02:46] <przemek_> and maybe I was doing something wrong
[02:46] <Lat> huhhh???? "The computer needs to restart to finish installing updates" ? I thought I was using Linux, and not Windows. I only see compiz upgraded. Shouldn't just restarting X be enough? or what is ubuntu-release-upgrader? is that the reason why it as to reboot?
[02:47] <blackshirt> lat, no needed
[02:47] <OerHeks> If ubuntu asks to reboot: reboot.
[02:47] <Lat> to restart, right? then how do I close that dialog? there's no close button, or "reboot later"
[02:48] <blackshirt> lat, stupid notification from update manager, very obssurtive
[02:48] <Lat> so I guess I should just ignore it and restart X?
[02:49] <OerHeks> No.
[02:49] <Lat> hi, OerHeks. do you mind elaborating why?
[02:50] <blackshirt> even kernel,when patching with ksplice, not needed reboot :d
[02:50] <OerHeks> Lat, no, i am not goint to discuss with you, follow up notifications, or don't, but then don't bother me.,
[02:51] <OerHeks> Do you really think development wants you to reboot without reason?
[02:52] <Lat> Wouldn't developers want their users to think and understand why?
[02:52] <bazhang> Lat did you have an actual support question?
[02:53] <przemek_> so I guess apart from those 2 year old blogs there isn't any new information that anyone here is aware of?
[02:53] <Lat> Ok, you guys win. I will upgrade right now. then try to install the virtual guest additions. If I get stuck I'll come back to you
[02:54] <bazhang> Lat, wait, this is in a VM?
[02:54] <Lat> yes, sir
[02:54] <Lat> or ma'am
[02:54] <bazhang> Lat, well restarting is rather moot in that case
[02:56] <c4ptotc> hello
[02:56] <caaakeeey> any ideas?
[02:56] <bazhang> caaakeeey, about what
[02:56] <kunji> bazhang: why would restarting a VM be moot?  The hardware is virtual, but I don't see why that would make the reasons for a reboot any less valid, no?
[02:56] <c4ptotc> I have this problem in ubuntu 12.04             for some reason when i watch youtube videos with flash they , when they start the play in fast forward..
[02:56] <c4ptotc> i have nvidia 304.60 installed
[02:57] <caaakeeey> bazhang,  i have no window manager when running 12.10 on a vm on windows, all i see is a blank desktop background when i boot it up
[02:57] <bazhang> kunji, the kernel modules I would imagine. I'm not sure why he does not want to simply restart the VM (which is rather what a "reboot" is here)
[02:58] <bazhang> caaakeeey, vbox? vmware? which
[02:58] <Lat> bazhang, I haven't installed virtualbox-guest-source, that was just a normal upgrade
[02:58] <caaakeeey> bazhang, virtualbox
[02:59] <bazhang> caaakeeey, got all the various guest-additions etc packages installed? that sounds likely the culprit
[02:59] <kunji> bazhang: Hmm, I still think the reboot is warranted for the VM.  Yeah, not sure what the objection is, some people run VMs as servers though, it could be running some service to end users (theoretically, I have no idea what his situation is).
[02:59] <caaakeeey> bazhang, i think so, i installed it, rebooted, and if i try to install it again, it gives me an erro rabout something already being mounted, but im not entirely sure
[03:00] <caaakeeey> do you think installing an alternative would fix it?
[03:00] <bazhang> kunji, I've not been following his issue to be of much use, just got on my self
[03:00] <kunji> bazhang: it's all good ^_^
[03:00] <bazhang> caaakeeey, installing an alternative? could you clarify please?
[03:01] <Lat> I was just wondering why a total boot was necessary, and not just restart services
[03:01] <caaakeeey> bazhang, a different window manager like kubuntu etx
[03:01] <caaakeeey> etc
[03:01] <johnjacobjingerh> how come I can't "make links" to some directories?
[03:01] <johnjacobjingerh> i want to create a shortcut on my destkop to /var/www and the option isnt selectable for that directory
[03:02] <bazhang> johnjacobjingerh, thats outside your home right?
[03:02] <caaakeeey> bazhang, im just using integrated gfraphics right now, could that be the issue? (got a gpu coming)
[03:02] <johnjacobjingerh> yea bazhang
[03:02] <kunji> johnjacobjingerh: It's because regular users aren't supposed to have access to those directories.  Personally I wouldn't mess with the permission on them.
[03:03] <johnjacobjingerh> bleh screw that i'll just sym link it
[03:03] <bazhang> caaakeeey, seriously doubt that, the vm uses a virtual gpu afaik and not the hardware. there's also #vbox if you dont get any answers here
[03:03] <johnjacobjingerh> annoying
[03:03] <kunji> johnjacobjingerh: Well, securit or convenience, pick one :P
[03:03] <caaakeeey> bazhang, thanks, im trying kde, if that doesn't fix it then ill head over there
[03:03] <kunji> *security
[03:03] <johnjacobjingerh> convenience
[03:03] <kunji> np
[03:03] <johnjacobjingerh> for this thing
[03:03] <johnjacobjingerh> it's mythtv
[03:04] <FatsDT> Sometimes my laptop doesn't resume from suspend.  How do I debug this?
[03:04] <kunji> johnjacobjingerh: ah, I would probably do the same then.
[03:04] <johnjacobjingerh> thanks just did
[03:05] <karthick1987> Is it possible to find usb charging devices using udev rules ???
[03:05] <johnjacobjingerh> so i assume there is no way  to show the filesystem drive and my partitions on desktop without symlinking them too
[03:06] <MiningMarsh> Anyone know why s2disk says I don't have enough memory to hibernate on my swap, when my ram is 2gb, and 0 bytes of my 8gb swap partition has been used?
[03:07] <kunji> Hmm, well, I did my clean install to 12.10 today.  I have a bit of a bug with my touchscreen stops taking input.  It still shows the mouse moving, but nothing responds to clicks, and when I start using the touchpad again, the pointer is actually still at the location it was when Ubuntu stopped responding to the clicks.  I am using a Lenovo ideapad S10-3t.  I'm also getting a few more random style crashes, but I always seem to get some of th
[03:08] <FatsDT> MiningMarsh: Does your swap partition ever get used, or is it always at 0?   Does it show up in 'cat /proc/swap'?
[03:08] <simplew> can anyone tell how to mirror webcam imagem in cheese?
[03:09] <FatsDT> er 'cat /proc/swaps'
[03:10] <MiningMarsh> FatsDT: It is used, but I have been testing it while it has been freshly mounted (to make sure all the space is free). It funtions as swap fine. I have no /proc/swap
[03:11] <MiningMarsh> FatsDT: woops. It shows up in /proc/swaps
[03:19] <omerta> what do i need to install after a base install to get a minimal ubuntu desktop?
[03:20] <omerta> apt-get install --no-install-recommends xorg xserver-xorg-video-radeon ubuntu-desktop alsa-utils
[03:20] <omerta> is this correct?
[03:24] <criqut> hello
[03:28] <tonyyarusso> omerta: depends on your definition of minimal, but that should work.  You probably don't even need the rest of that - just --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop should have the same effect.
[03:29] <omerta> tonyyarusso, ok thanks
[03:30] <omerta> does --no-install-recommends work recursively?
[03:32] <tonyyarusso> omerta: yes
[03:32] <omerta> thanks
[03:35] <grod> Hey crew. Anyone free to chat about  ab upgrade issue I have when going from 12.04 to 12.10?
[03:48] <Quintazill> What is the difference between gnome and gnome-shell? (apt-get install)
[03:50] <rajmahendra> How can i remove More Suggestion from my dash in 12.10
[03:51] <Lat> it seems like gnome will install gnome-shell with extras
[03:52] <wilee-nilee> !gnome
[03:52] <daradydai> coud somebody tell me please the name of console browser that can I find in out repository-s (ubuntu 12.04)
[03:53] <wastrel> daradydai: w3m, or elinks
[03:53] <aarossig> Is there currently a way to easily disable composition in Unity? I'm running 12.10.
[03:53] <daradydai> wastrel: 10x :)
[03:54] <Quintazill> Lat; surely does. Thanks.
[03:54] <Lat> what's the equivalent of kdiff3 in gnome?
[03:54] <Lat> welcome
[03:54] <aarossig> Recording Minecraft using GLC is 200% faster when composition is disabled.. but that entails running metacity --replace and breaking unity.
[03:54] <zerowaitstate> rajmahendra: settings->privacy maybe?
[03:55] <wastrel> no compiz, no unity afaik in 12.10
[03:55] <aarossig> I guess I'll use LXDE for my recording sessions then
[03:55] <wastrel> should be interesting with the valve/steam thing
[03:56] <aarossig> wastrel: it really does enforce a performance hit
[03:56] <aarossig> 9800GT tends lag in Minecraft with composition enabled and recording using GLC
[03:56] <wastrel> aarossig: tell me about it, my card there's apparently serious performance bugs in the driver or something
[03:56] <wastrel> unity is v. slow and crashy on my system
[03:56] <Quintazill> But this doesn't seem to get included by installing gnome-shell-extensions. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/15/alternatetab/ , - the fact that I have used 20 minutes trying to enable such a ultra basic feature is kinda disturbing.
[03:56] <wastrel> i get about 5-10 fps on minecraft
[03:56] <wastrel> with unity
[03:57] <aarossig> wastrel: good to know I'm not alonge
[03:57] <aarossig> alone*
[03:57] <Lat> hmm, it seems to be meld, but it installs libgnome2 which I thought it was already there
[03:59] <bjrohan>  Hi there. i am trying to convert an ogv file to mov using ffwin (gui for ffmpeg) and I get the following errors, how do I remedy this I am running Ubuntu 12.10: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1311394/
[03:59] <bjrohan> Any help appreciated
[04:00] <bjrohan> I have libx264-123 installed
[04:01] <ryan1> hi does anyone know how to get to the non-gui installer for ubuntu?
[04:02] <KM0201> ryan1: the text installer you mean>
[04:02] <KM0201> if so, that's just th ealternate install cd
[04:03] <ryan1> KM020: yep. :) oh, there's another cd for it? i just downloaded the regular default iso
[04:03] <KM0201> no, there's a different iso
[04:03] <KM0201> !alternate
[04:03] <KM0201> hmm, maybe not.
[04:03] <KM0201> lol
[04:04] <KM0201> !livecd
[04:06] <KM0201> i guess you could use the mini iso, or install the ubuntu desktop on top of ubuntu server... but... that's kinda sad they discontinued the alt cd.
[04:06] <WeThePeople> hi
[04:16] <ejo> This is pretty sad that dejadup (Ubuntu's pre-installed backup app) has been failing with error_code 500 and no "oops" dialog for a year for a lot of people and there's barely any action on the bug thread
[04:17] <dmitry> Ok, quick question...
[04:17] <ejo> Sorry, I hate to just pop in and merely complain (though I just did exactly that) so I'll leave it at that one line!
[04:21] <OerHeks> ejo, this old bugreport suggests making a new folder to backup to, it is just a workaround > https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/882699
[04:22] <ejo> OerHeks: yes, and I'm with the others who say you have to start a new folder every few days to keep it working.  It's crazy.
[04:22] <Dragonster82> I've got a problem with my microphone settings, it keeps resetting everytime I reboot. Any help?
[04:23] <unknown766> so whats the topic here ._.
[04:24] <unknown766> :/

[04:30] <Guest7272> i remember using ftp as a child
[04:30] <scroduck> you no child anymore?
[04:31] <Guest7272> thirty dos
[04:31] <scroduck> hm
[04:31] <scroduck> what do you use now?
[04:32] <Guest7272> ssh, scp
[04:32] <insecticide> any way to put music on my iphone running ubuntu 10.04 ?
[04:32] <scroduck> i do use scp
[04:32] <Guest7272> we used ftp for mad 0-day warez
[04:32] <scroduck> but wordpress wants ftp
[04:32] <Guest7272> o
[04:36] <spacebarbarian> how do i restart the network service ?

[04:40] <confuzled> can anyone help me find the absolute path to my NAS
[04:40] <confuzled> ~/.gvfs/storage on diskstation/Newsgroups is what term says
[04:40] <confuzled> and smb://diskstation/storage/Newsgroups
[04:41] <confuzled> is what nautilus says
[04:41] <confuzled> (well the path to my newsgroups folder is what imreally looking for)
[04:45] <confuzled> anyone?
[04:45] <ry> has anyone tried to get lm-sensors working with the DQ45EK? (coretemp is the only module/sensor i've been able to get working so far -- no fan rpms or anything along those lines)
[04:46] <ry> not sure how to manually load modules, or if this is the appropriate place for hardware/software/sensor related questions on ubuntu 12.04
[04:46] <Danon> i guess so
[04:47] <ry> i stumbled across a russian developer who created a module for lm-sensors to work on the Q45 (and other similar generation intel mobos/chipsets) but I have no idea how to load it
[04:48] <Lat> confuzled, does  " mount|grep storage   "  say anything?
[04:48] <confuzled> one sec
[04:49] <confuzled> no
[04:49] <confuzled> btw thats called pipe right (|)
[04:49] <confuzled> linux newbie
[04:49] <Lat> "  |  "    is called pipe, yes
[04:50] <confuzled> ballin
[04:50] <Danon> and this is -  tack right?
[04:50] <confuzled> im trying to learn
[04:50] <Lat> what are you trying to accomplish?
[04:50] <confuzled> thats what i call it (military)
[04:50] <confuzled> i want to configure sabnzbd to use my nas as the download and temp dir
[04:51] <confuzled> Danon: yes that is tack and we call / hack
[04:51] <Lat> Danon, beats me. I just called dash, c:
[04:52] <Lat> idk what's sabnzdb
[04:52] <Danon> all i know is the ubuntu side bar might get annoying sometimes but ubuntu is basicly THE linux distro right
[04:52] <confuzled> its a newsreader
[04:52] <confuzled> like newsleecher, grabit and others
[04:52] <Danon> i tryed fedora and the software center kept lagging
[04:53] <confuzled> its the most commonly installed, i would assume mint is third (for end user that is not counting server)
[04:53] <Lat> confuzled, then I'd suggest you to mount the NAS. Does the NAS suppost nfs?
[04:53] <confuzled> inthe new version you can move the side bar to the bottom right
[04:53] <confuzled> i assume so, its a synology 1512+ (big ballin)
[04:54] <Lat> synology, there's a good chance that it supports nfs
[04:54] <confuzled> ~/.gvfs/storage on diskstation/newsgroups what is this
[04:54] <Lat> i dunno
[04:54] <confuzled> that is what pops when i open the dir i want in terminal
[04:54] <Danon> I actually have a NAS on my router its a usb plug in i got a 500g hooked up to it
[04:54] <Danon> it shows up in windows and linux but i cant map it in linux
[04:55] <confuzled> when i cd to that dir, i can ls and find my files
[04:55] <confuzled> so i know it routes taht way
[04:55] <Danon> is it because windows is samba and linux is nfs?
[04:55] <Lat> Danon correct
[04:55] <confuzled> but when copy the dir path in nautilus it shows as smb://
[04:55] <confuzled> Danon: my nas shows in both windows and linux
[04:56] <Danon> but i thought ubuntu came with samba support?
[04:56] <Lat> oh, so if you do ls ~/.gvfs/storage  you see the files?
[04:56] <confuzled> yes
[04:56] <confuzled> so the absoulte path would be /home/dougshell/.gvfs
[04:56] <Lat> I would assume so
[04:56] <confuzled> let me try that
[04:58] <confuzled> now sab isnt loading....let me reboot i just set it up to run as service, maybe its a confilix.  brb 3 min
[05:00] <byuu> Hi all. So on 12.10, lspci -v shows that I have snd-hda-intel loaded in as a module; but aplay -l  only shows the HDMI audio output of my sound card. PulseAudio Volume Control -> Output Devices similarly doesn't show my HDA onboard sound ... any ideas? :/
[05:02] <spacebarbarian> having a really weird DNS issue, I can ping the dns server <IP_ADDRESS>, and its in my resolv.conf, but i cant resolve and hostnames, did 'dig @<IP_ADDRESS> +trace google.com' and it just says connection timed out
[05:02] <Danon> can you install kubuntu over ubuntu with out corrupting data?
[05:02] <Lat> Danon, do you just want KDE?
[05:03] <Danon> yeah
[05:03] <Danon> and is there a program that is windows and linux cross platform that will let me use on keyboard and mouse on 2 computers
[05:03] <Danon> like my desktop and laptop
[05:04] <byuu> Found a workaround using a USB X-fi, guess that will do for now
[05:05] <Lat> quick and dirty google search, Danon, but you want this http://www.simsupply.com/p-100131-two-port-kvm-usb-switch-waudio-built-in-cables-8-ft.aspx?CAWELAID=1303503494&catargetid=1438294713&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CO7h2Oz3orMCFQ4EnQodSnsABQ

Optical Touch Screen on my computer, and would like to use the touch screen on my Ubuntu 12.10. Not really sure where to start, but I do think it is supported. (not sure how to really check or not.) I am very new to linux and I am not sure what I am doing.
[05:12] <Danon> well yeah but i forgot how lol
[05:13] <snoop> Hi, i am running for the first time ubuntu12.10 64bit on a gateway NV59c laptop with intel chips. and it is slower than i can remember with windows any ideas, its a 2.3 quad i3, 4gb ram, 320hdd, and 128 hd intel graphics... please help its really slow opening i.e. (firefox, notepad, task app, pretty much anything) takes in excess of 10-14 seconds to open and longer for that software center.
[05:14] <Aussie_Matt> Hi all, can anyone help me please? I have a raid array, dmraid is installed, it can see my array, but i need to run "dmraid -ay" after every boot to activate the array. Can some one help me automate this please?
[05:14] <TheWalkingTux> does ubuntu have any problem with the wifi signal strenght?
[05:14] <TheWalkingTux> damn wifi signal broke down again
[05:14] <bananaboydean> Anyone know anything about issues with 12.10 and macbook 4,1 audio not working after a while
[05:16] <storm90hou> well
[05:16] <suttiwit> does ubuntu 12.10 really ships this kernel version by default: 3.5.0-17-generic?
[05:16] <Hotarudraconis> hi
[05:16] <TheWalkingTux> bananaboydean, do you messed with the driver or something?
[05:17] <bananaboydean> TheWalkingTux, no sir it works for the first hour or so then stops
[05:17] <xangua> !info linux | suttiwit
[05:18] <TheWalkingTux> do you have any other SO installed?
[05:18] <bananaboydean> SO?
[05:18] <Danon> OS? lol
[05:19] <bananaboydean> significant others installed?
[05:20] <TheWalkingTux> lol sorry, shitty  wifi signal is driving me crazy
[05:20] <TheWalkingTux> i meant operational systems
[05:20] <TheWalkingTux> rofl
[05:20] <Danon> i had that issue with backtrack5 on my toshibe laptop
[05:20] <bananaboydean> haha yeah just OSX lion
[05:21] <Danon> everytime i would launch wicd it would freeze the whole laptop up
[05:21] <Danon> i hate companys who make shitty hardware lol
[05:22] <celthunder> Danon: then don't buy that shitty hardware
[05:22] <Danon> like jmicron for instance ive always had trouble with the pci-e sata controller and windows 7
[05:22] <celthunder> that's the easiest solution..if nobody buys it they go out of business
[05:22] <Ox0000> Hi, I just upgraded to Kubuntu 12.10 form 12.04, and I am having some problems with my display. Sounds like the graphics driver is not properly installed. Any ideas?
[05:23] <TheWalkingTux> id search your problem but my signal keeps disconnecting every few minutes -.- cant do shit with this problem
[05:23] <andromedas> lspci?
[05:25] <J_> HEY ALL
[05:26] <Danon> does anybody know of any good 3rd party software sites for linux software?
[05:26] <Aussie_Matt> anyone any good with mkinitrd?
[05:26] <J_> man im figurin it out my self
[05:27] <J_> boy this bites
[05:29] <ntong> I need some help with my display
[05:29] <J_> whats up with it?
[05:30] <ix_> why can't you install new versions of software in Ubuntu, or any other Linux distro?
[05:30] <J_> whats up with ur display?
[05:30] <Izinucs> ix_: you can.. what are you looking for?
[05:30] <ntong> I am not sure why eveytime I call up a software then it will go to right hand side screen not the left hand side
[05:31] <J_> wierd
[05:31] <Izinucs> ntong: you mean the text of the program?
[05:31] <ix_> Izinucs, that's not quite true, if you try to install gimp 2.8 on ubuntu 10.04, I'm pretty sure it will not work
[05:31] <J_> i finally got my linux workin lol
[05:31] <ntong> program and also message from ubuntu
[05:31] <J_> about time
[05:31] <ix_> it's just an example, but I want to know why
[05:31] <J_> 10.04 is old u need to update it
[05:32] <ntong> left hand side is my PC screen VGA, right hand side is my TV with HDMI connection
[05:32] <J_> use 12.04 that works lot better
[05:32] <Danon> and if you dont like unity like i dont install kde plasma
[05:32] <J_> never tried
[05:33] <J_> saybayon is interesting too
[05:33] <J_> ive used both
[05:33] <Ox0000> Here's the lspci: http://pastebin.com/fDe4Dg5U
[05:33] <Izinucs> ix_: you have a couple of ways.  First is to compile it yourself making a .deb to install or google for "gimp PPA".  PPA's are unsupported program space where someone else has compiled the program for specific versions of ubuntu.. the ppa is installed as part of your package manager and the program(s) in it are then available through the normal package manager.
[05:33] <Izinucs> ntong: ah..dual screen.. what video card do you have?
[05:33] <ntong> can anyone help
[05:33] <J_> boring lol
[05:34] <intx> I spent 24 hours testing ram... turns out it's a problem with memtest. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/1071209 if anyone has the same issue.
[05:34] <ntong> ??
[05:34] <Aarat> Any idea how can i port ubuntu to my raspberry pi ??
[05:34] <Aarat> any arm version available?
[05:35] <svspl> why not mkinitramfs?
[05:35] <xangua> ix_: because 10.04 is an ond distro with old libraries
[05:40] <Danon> is using the kde shell the same as kubuntu?
[05:41] <suttiwit> why not kernel version 3.6?
[05:41] <suttiwit> :(
[05:41] <Izinucs> Danon: you mean loading kde and switching to it on boot?  not sure but it probably doesn't load all the associated software unless you install kubuntu-desktop from inside ubuntu.. then you have the best of both worlds.
[05:43] <Danon> ahh
[05:43] <rajmahendra> i want to remove the More Suggestions buying options from my dash how to remove it ?
[05:43] <Danon> i just found out you can uninstall different guis
[05:44] <Danon> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekubuntu
[05:45] <Izinucs> Danon: you can.. google pure kde or pure gnome or unity
[05:45] <Izinucs> !purekde
[05:46] <Izinucs> !pure
[05:53] <Cracked_Lucidity> so how do i run a bin file?
[05:53] <Cracked_Lucidity> i feel stupid :I
[05:53] <wols>  depends on the .bin file
[05:54] <wols> what file is it?
[05:54] <Cracked_Lucidity> i installed superbrothers: sword and sorcery EP
[05:58] <Cracked_Lucidity> i bought in a humble bundle awhile ago and never really got around to playing it on the desktop
[05:59] <wols> Cracked_Lucidity: use "sh <binfile>". might need to use sudo but try without at first
[06:01] <Cracked_Lucidity> do i need a file path with that?
[06:01] <wols> if you are not inside the directory where the file is: yes
[06:08] <Cracked_Lucidity> i suppose i should note i am using the GUI
[06:09] <Oz__> Morning folks. Any chance I could possibly bother you with some newbie stuff?
[06:09] <JasonC_> Can you install windows 8 without deleting my old partitions? (Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04)
[06:10] <wols> JasonC_: create a new partition, install it there
[06:11] <JasonC_> Wols, thanks for replying!
[06:11] <JasonC_> but
[06:11] <Oz__> I seem to only have any luck when I set nomodeset and nolapic. I've tried both open source and proprietary drivers for my ATI Radeon 5770. No dice.
[06:11] <Oz__> Loads just fine.
[06:12] <JasonC_> i dont know what to do, could you give more detailed instrcutions?
[06:12] <Oz__> Then runs so slow I can't do... pretty much anything.
[06:12] <wols> JasonC_: use gparted to free some spaec on your disk
[06:12] <JasonC_> @wols i have already done that :P so what do i do now?
[06:12] <Cracked_Lucidity> >o> i rather like gparted
[06:12] <wols> Oz__: what happens when you don't use nomodeset?
[06:13] <Cracked_Lucidity> i had swissknife kill a disk once though
[06:13] <Cracked_Lucidity> :l
[06:13] <wols> JasonC_: you install. and in the installer tell it to use the free space. but this is not a #ubuntu question, is it?
[06:13] <wols> JasonC_: just don't forget to reinstall grub2 afterwards so all show up in your boot menu
[06:15] <imneveral0ne> hello
[06:15] <JasonC_> oh ok, thanks, thats the missing step i needed :P, how do i reinstall it though? :p
[06:15] <Oz__> I've tried various video card drivers, even adjusting swappiness.
[06:15] <imneveral0ne> is there a program, that will let me make a bootable flash drive out of a windows 7 iso?
[06:15] <imneveral0ne> I tried unetbootin
[06:16] <imneveral0ne> but it wont let me make one on a ntfs flash drive
[06:16] <Oz__> Nada.
[06:16] <Oz__> It's a bit sluggish in nomodeset, but useable.
[06:16] <Oz__> Wols, Everything loads in at 1080p and whatnot, but Unity takes ages to fully load in. And even once it has, nothing is responsive.
[06:16] <wols> JasonC_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstalling_GRUB_2
[06:16] <imneveral0ne> or like a guide or something :-\
[06:17] <imneveral0ne> all I can find are ways to make linux one's on windows 7
[06:17] <wols> imneveral0ne: this is a ubuntu question how?
[06:17] <imneveral0ne> and not the other way around lol
[06:17] <imneveral0ne> well, I'm using ubuntu to do it
[06:17] <wols> it's still no ubuntu question, sorry
[06:17] <imneveral0ne> how is it not? I'm trying to use ubuntu to do it
[06:17] <JasonC_> thanks wols, one day i may be able to answer questions instead of asking them, thanks for replying :)
[06:17] <imneveral0ne> seems ubuntu related to me
[06:18] <imneveral0ne> since I'm trying to use an ubuntu program to do it
[06:18] <wols> imneveral0ne: such a thing does not exist. ask MSFT for support with their OS
[06:18] <imneveral0ne> well if I was doing it in windows, I believe they could help me
[06:21] <Oz__> Hm...
[06:24] <imneveral0ne> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/tool-to-create-windows-usb-install.html
[06:24] <imneveral0ne> thanks homies ^_^
[06:26] <Flynsarmy> I'm following teh instructions here http://askubuntu.com/a/65300/101547 but wen I do a dkms build -m r8168 -v 8.032.00 I get the following: http://pastebin.com/k89p8BsX it's infuriating because i can cd to  /var/lib/dkms/r8168/8.032.00/build and run the command and it works fine. why the hell is dkms failing at it?
[06:28] <sbarcteam> hi.
[06:28] <Lat> o/
[06:28] <wols> Flynsarmy: create a rule for "clean"
[06:28] <wols> could probably be a empty one too
[06:31] <Flynsarmy> wols: it already exists. cat /var/lib/dkms/r8168/8.032.00/build/Makefile http://pastebin.com/Av80E3Zw and cat /var/lib/dkms/r8168/8.032.00/build/src/Maefile http://pastebin.com/p87Pk2CU as I said in my last message, when I perform the make -C command myself it works fine. it's just dkms screwing it up
[06:44] <guang_> How to copy things of clipboard to gvim buffer?
[06:45] <sbarcteam> guang_: "+y
[06:47] <guang_> sbarcteam:I mean clipboard -> gvim,not gvim ->clipboard.."+y seems to does not work
[06:49] <alusion> What do you think of mdm [utilities for single-host parallel shell scripting ?
[06:49] <alusion> Like.. what can you do with that exactly?
[06:50] <guang_> shift + insert
[06:54] <sbarcteam> guang_: if you're using gvim, its menus have the shortcuts written besides the names.
[06:54] <sbarcteam> in "Edit" menu you have copy, paste, etc. shortcuts.
[06:54] <sbarcteam> I might have been mistaken with the shortcut.
[06:54] <sbarcteam> I know how to work with copy/paste from within vim, for sure.
[06:54] <sbarcteam> and pasting in gvim is easy - with middle mouse  click.
[06:56] <foobArrr> I have problems with distorted sound and echo with vlc. Often sound is only distorted for the first few seconds or a minute of a file, then sound is normal. When I skip to the next song/video, sound is distorted again. Also volume levels are strange: some videos are loud, some are quiet, in mplayer they have similar volume. This started a few weeks ago on 12.04 and is still present in 12.10.
[06:57] <sbarcteam> foobArrr: are you on a recent computer or a very old ?
[06:57] <L3top> akis is it possible there is a password prompt behind a window that you missed? Works here.
[06:58] <nikolam> sbarcteam, I hat the same problem with vlc starting with strange sounds and pics, when I was on 10.04, too. As a matter a fact it also started relatively recently, was good before on 10.04
[06:58] <nikolam> had
[06:58] <nikolam> It was also heard starting skype and other playing apps
[06:59] <mr_fribble> Also happens to me, but only on vlc I think
[06:59] <nikolam> after first file was playing again and again, it worked smootly after
[06:59] <guang_> sbarcteam:middle mouse?My mouse just have left and right,the middle one seems to can not click.
[06:59] <nikolam> but i am on 12.04 now
[06:59] <foobArrr> sbarcteam: one year old (sandy bridge)
[06:59] <sbarcteam> guang_: if this is a scroll wheel, it should be clickable.
[07:00] <kristenbb> hi, I have a problem with virtualbox, I'm trying to use itunes, but the iphone isn't recognized.
[07:00] <sbarcteam> if not, there's "middle button emulation" setting, making both buttons emulate middle button press.
[07:00] <sbarcteam> foobArrr: what kind of sound card does it come with?
[07:01] <nikolam> kriskropd, you need to install VB addons from virtualbox.org site , to get USB support for virtualbox. Are you using Vbox from ubuntu repos or from virtualbox.org?
[07:01] <guang_> sbarcteam:amazing..you are right.
[07:01] <nikolam> kriskropd, USB support from addon for VB is closed source, that's why
[07:01] <sbarcteam> guang_: the fact I am right is not amazing - everybody's right from time to time.
[07:01] <wols> nikolam: usb1.1 support is included
[07:02] <nikolam> wols, in one form repo?
[07:02] <foobArrr> sbarcteam: onboard, lspci: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
[07:02] <wols> nikolam: yes
[07:02] <nikolam> wols, ok mate, great to know
[07:02] <nikolam> wols, on open source VB I suppose
[07:02] <wols> for usb2.0 you still need the proprietary extensions
[07:02] <nikolam> ok, great wols
[07:02] <sbarcteam> foobArrr: do you know how to determine which driver is used for that card ?
[07:03] <foobArrr> sbarcteam: no
[07:03] <guang_> sbactream:emm,i am amazing about the fact that it is clickable,but i do not know it even i have used it for nearly two years
[07:03] <sbarcteam> basically, you should run "sudo lsmod | grep -i snd" and see if something related to intel shows up.
[07:03] <kristenbb> nikolam: oh you were talking to me, sorry. you have used the wrong nick. I think I already did install the VB addons. a normal usb stick for instance is recognized; but the iphone isn't.
[07:03] <nikolam> foobArrr, see with plpci what is hardware, then you have lsmod for modules list
[07:04] <sbarcteam> foobArrr: have you ran the lsmod command ?
[07:04] <L3top> lsmod | grep intel  foobArrr. Chances it will be snd_hda_intel
[07:04] <sbarcteam> L3top: yep, but I'm never sure with these :)
[07:05] <foobArrr> sbarcteam, L3top: snd_hda_intel is loaded
[07:05] <nikolam> kristenbb, maybe you could check #vbox channel, maybe needed to set it up in usb VB settings
[07:05] <Juinn> Um, I put both toolbars at the bottom of the desktop, but I made one collapse so it'd look better, but now they've merged and I can't seem to click either to adjust its position.
[07:05] <Juinn> I am not good at computer :(
[07:05] <sbarcteam> foobArrr: the idea is that the driver snd_hda_intel is written with as many chipsets as possible. some specific models need params tweaking.
[07:06] <sbarcteam> so, you need to google up about what tweaking your card needs.
[07:06] <Juinn> It's also lagging things up, and I think the widget is stuck in a loop or something
[07:06] <sbarcteam> you can learn about the params list via running "sudo modinfo snd_hda_intel"
[07:06] <alusion> how do i make a screen inactive from keyboard?
[07:06] <L3top> foobArrr: is your issue ONLY in vlc? Or did I misread?
[07:06] <foobArrr> sbarcteam: why would that specifically affect vlc?
[07:06] <foobArrr> L3top: only vlc
[07:07]  * L3top wouldn't blame the driver in that case
[07:07] <nikolam> Anyway, Anyone has an info on integrating BTRFS (and root ZFS) snapshots in GRUB, so you could choose previous version of the system, prior of upgrade, to boot from?
[07:07] <sbarcteam> vlc is using non-necessary the pulse drivers.
[07:07] <sbarcteam> (if that means anything to you)
[07:07] <afidegnum> hello, what's the command again that allows you to unzip all tar files from a folder? I remember some1 told me gun or detonate, but it didn't work. can anyone remind me ?
[07:07] <afidegnum> they are .gz files
[07:07] <L3top> yeah... pulse is always at the heart of these issues.
[07:07] <sbarcteam> foobArrr: is everything except vlc working smoothly ?
[07:07] <sbarcteam> I mean sound related.
[07:08] <sbarcteam> are you using any other audio applications at all ?
[07:09] <nikolam> afidegnum, tar xvzf but should check manuals. , xvjf for tar.bz2
[07:09] <afidegnum> nikolam: they are .gz files
[07:09] <foobArrr> sbarcteam: everything but vlc works fine (rhythmox, radio tray, mplayer, flash in firefox, tvtime, kaffeine)
[07:09] <nikolam> afidegnum, xvzf
[07:09] <sbarcteam> foobArrr: do you have surround setup or stereo ?
[07:10] <afidegnum> ok, let me try
[07:10] <afidegnum> meaning shold I do tar tvzf*
[07:10] <afidegnum> ?
[07:10] <sbarcteam> gtg
[07:10] <nikolam> afidegnum, that's you choice
[07:11] <foobArrr> sbarcteam: stereo
[07:11] <afidegnum> this is the error I am facing tar (child): *: Cannot open: No such file or directorytar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting nowtar: Child returned status 2tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[07:12] <varikonniemi> hello, since i installed 12.10 my internet has not worked in virtualbox
[07:12] <foobArrr> hm, downgrading vlc could be worth a try
[07:13] <nikolam> afidegnum, to unpack all tar.gz files , I would run tar xvzf *.tar.gz.
[07:13] <parker> exit
[07:13] <afidegnum> nikolam: they are rather txt.gz
[07:13] <nikolam> afidegnum, I explained...
[07:14] <nikolam> afidegnum, use only gunzip then
[07:14] <nikolam> afidegnum, but he will probably end you up with no .gz files anymore, just txt
[07:15] <afidegnum> yes, that's what I am looking for
[07:17] <dileep> what all packages should i install in my laptop having ubuntu 12.04 in order to work in SQL*PLUS?
[07:22] <Juinn> On Lucid, I adjusted my toolbars and now they're merged and inaccessible at the bottom of the screen
[07:22] <Incindre> Hiya! Can anyone help me out with a misbehaving Samba install?
[07:23] <Juinn> Causing some lag, flickering
[07:23] <Incindre> I'm having serious problems connecting to Samba shares
[07:23] <blackshirt> incindre, what the problems
[07:24] <Incindre> Basically, I'm using Webmin to set up my Samba shares and I want to access them from windows 7 machines
[07:24] <Juinn> Containing widget seems to be looping or otherwise, delays shutdown
[07:24] <Juinn> I've also tried various super/alt combinations to no avail
[07:24] <Incindre> no matter what options in the config I choose, I can't access the share. I type in username and password and it says: access denied
[07:25] <blackshirt> incindre, maybe some notes on windows 7 registry config
[07:26] <blackshirt> incindre, maybe you need read samba documentations
[07:26] <Incindre> I have read plenty of samba tutorials
[07:26] <Incindre> and none of them are of any use (samba documentation included)
[07:27] <nikolam> dileep, you have plenty of databases. see in synaptic
[07:28] <blackshirt> incindre, what type of security on your samba config ?
[07:29] <dileep> nikolam, sorry.. i didn't get you. I want to install oracle product sqlplus in my lapatop, what should i do ?
[07:30] <SouravAJ> dileep go to synaptic
[07:30] <Incindre> What do you need to know Blackshirt? I'll type them in
[07:30] <Juinn> So hey, is there any way to adjust the gnome toolbars without having to right click them?  It's not something I know how to do in terminal...
[07:30] <Juinn> And that's just, to anybody in particular
[07:30] <SouravAJ> synapticv is a software market in ubuntu
[07:31] <SouravAJ> try apt-get install synaptic if u dont hav it
[07:31] <dileep> SouravAJ,I have already installed oracle-install-client using apt-get
[07:31] <dileep> but it asks for username and password
[07:31] <nikolam> dileep, sqlplus? I am not familiar with it, but you shoud maybe ask Oracle? I suppose there is some manual for it . I can only suppose it is in .rpm form? I use alien on .rpm packages.
[07:32] <dileep> is there a channel for oracle ?
[07:32] <blackshirt> incindre, security = user?
[07:32] <SouravAJ> type ur acount username and passwd
[07:33] <Incindre> yes
[07:33] <dileep> not apt-get , alien -i
[07:33] <dileep> how can i set user name and password for the first use ?
[07:34] <nikolam> dileep, http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/ape.htm#sthref3935
[07:34] <SouravAJ> u can ask this oracle related question #oracle channel
[07:35] <nikolam> dileep, asking for ubuntu username/password? It is set up during GUI install of the os. After that you have users manager
[07:36] <blackshirt> incindre, sorry, i couldn't help you too much... i just sugest maybe find somenotes on windows 7 config..this is different with old version windows ... And this is not your samba problem, i think
[07:36] <auxy> hii~
[07:36] <auxy> how do I open a terminal on ubuntu x3
[07:37] <parker> hi
[07:37] <SouravAJ> @auxy: easiest wat to open a terminal is search it
[07:38] <blackshirt> dileep, you have adduser tool
[07:38] <nikolam> auxy, ALT+F2 , xterm?  ; gnome-terminal
[07:38] <blackshirt> hi parker
[07:38] <parker> hello
[07:38] <dileep_> blackshirt,yes
[07:39] <auxy> SouravAJ: oh, thanks!
[07:39] <auxy> nikolam: I'm not really a linux user sooo x3
[07:39] <blackshirt> dileep_, you just need privileges access to run that tool
[07:40] <dileep_> how to set that ?
[07:40] <nikolam> auxy, no sweat, it's all similar these days :)
[07:41] <nikolam> dileep, you use sudo or gksu prior the command to use it with root privileges
[07:41] <nikolam> then it asks for your user password if user is in sudoers group
[07:42] <blackshirt> dileep_, use sudo adduser someusername to add user to system
[07:42] <Incindre> Can a Samba genious please add me on Skype? Username is Incindre
[07:45] <trupheenix> hello
[07:47] <nikolam> what GUI you use to set up Firewall? I used to use Firestarter, but on 12.04 64-bit it gives me some logging issuis, I am not sure if it works, since it complains on GUI start...
[07:54] <auxy> hmmh
[07:54] <CQ> hello... any recommendations for doing something dropbox-like? Would sparkleshare make sense, or are there other things (FSes?) that handle replication / mirroring well between a server and several laptops?
[07:54] <auxy> I can't get ubuntu to enumerate the shares on my windows machine
[07:54] <auxy> wonder if it's a firewalling issue
[07:56] <CQ> auxy try using smbtree or smbclient -L //192.168.2.xxx to see what the machine sees?
[07:56] <auxy> oh
[07:56] <auxy> I don't know the default account's password lol
[07:57] <auxy> oh, but I wonder if it meant on the remote machine
[07:57] <auxy> Connection failed NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
[07:58] <SouravAJ> auxy: use connect to server option
[07:58] <auxy> SouravAJ: um, where is that?
[07:58] <auxy> now it doesn't even see my machine ._. using smbtree
[07:58] <auxy> it finds the WORKGROUP workgroup, but it doesn't see me
[07:59] <SouravAJ> i am using backtrak so its on my places folder
[07:59] <auxy> oh, oh
[07:59] <auxy> I know where that is, um
[07:59] <auxy> file...
[08:00] <auxy> oh yeah, I tried this earlier
[08:00] <auxy> it doesn't accept a blank password
[08:00] <auxy> and doing it with no username doesn't work either :/
[08:01] <SouravAJ> plank passwd doesnt work
[08:01] <SouravAJ> u have to set passwd
[08:02] <auxy> but there isn't any password ... =_=;
[08:02] <auxy> on the whole machine
[08:02] <qmanjr5> Root has to have a password, does it not?
[08:02] <SouravAJ> r u connecting ubuntu to windows for retrivind files?
[08:04] <auxy> my friend's knackered his windows install; normally I'd put his drive in my machine to retrieve his music, but there are logistical problems with that (namely I'm out of SATA ports and also there's no way to physically mount his drive in my machine without taking the whole thing apart)
[08:04] <auxy> so I was going to use ubuntu from a flash drive to just copy it via the network
[08:04] <auxy> I can't get ubuntu to see my machine, though, which has a completely open (everyone "full control" permissions) share on one drive so I can just copy stuff over
[08:05] <auxy> it can't even find the machine on the network though, even with my firewall completely disabled
[08:05] <auxy> my android phone finds it fine ...
[08:05] <qmanjr5> Why not just use another flash drive, or the same one if big enough, to copy his stuff?
[08:05] <auxy> it's 70GB >_>;
[08:05] <qmanjr5> That's a lot of music.
[08:05] <SouravAJ> u can do one thing
[08:05] <auxy> I have over 1TB of music lol
[08:06] <SouravAJ> if windows hae apache installed u can use easiest sharing through apache webserver
[08:06] <auxy> ah, I don't want to set up a webserver for just this x3 I'll just take my machine apart, SIGH
[08:07] <auxy> notably ubuntu didn't manage to install a video driver for his intel GPU, kinda surprising
[08:07] <SouravAJ> for drivers u have to search from google
[08:08] <auxy> oh, I thought there was a FOSS driver for intel
[08:09] <auxy> LOL
[08:09] <auxy> I got it to work :3
[08:09] <auxy> but
[08:09] <auxy> now it won't let me copy over; it says "The specified location is not mounted"
[08:09] <auxy> seems odd that I can view it then
[08:09] <auxy> anyway, I think I know what to do :3
[08:10] <SouravAJ> good
[08:10] <auxy> oh, wait
[08:10] <auxy> what's the default password
[08:10] <auxy> for the liveUSB version; the username is just "ubuntu"
[08:11] <qmanjr5> It's blank, auxy
[08:11] <SouravAJ> just enter it
[08:11] <auxy> oh, thanks
[08:14] <auxy> oh, cifs
[08:15] <auxy> this has been very educational
[08:15] <auxy> what does 'Operation now in progress' mean lol
[08:16] <xreal> Hmm. I've installed Fluxbox with XDM on Ubunutu und Debian. I then want to run rDesktop to connect to a Windows client via RDP. The X-server seems to be started by another user than the current user, so I can't access the desktop. When uninstalling XDM, everything works... Any idea?
[08:16] <SouravAJ> it means work in progress ;)
[08:17] <auxy> hohoho
[08:17] <auxy> I figured it out ON MY OWN
[08:17] <auxy> I'm so awesome
[08:18] <SouravAJ> when someone fix errors they all thing i am awesome genius proud moments :D
[08:19] <auxy> okay well I thought I fixed it
[08:19] <auxy> I still can't paste things into the folder, lol
[08:19] <auxy> I reckon it's probably a permissions thing
[08:20] <SouravAJ> yea with combined effort of ircusers ;)
[08:21] <dia> hey
[08:23] <auxy> oh
[08:23] <auxy> I tried to do sudo cp -r Music /mnt/derp while in the folder on /media/ubuntu/OS/Users/K2/Desktop
[08:24] <auxy> and it copied some things successfully, but it then failed with "Cannot allocate memory"
[08:25] <SouravAJ> try cp *.mp3 /dirpath
[08:26] <auxy> well, it's all sorted into folders
[08:27] <auxy> oh wow
[08:27] <auxy> apparently it's a windows thing
[08:27] <auxy> how interesting
[08:40] <almoxarife> ping
[08:41] <Waraudon> looks like a bad netsplit
[08:43] <crimsonmane> somewhere someone is smelling burning plastic...
[08:44] <JonasF> Hey, yesterday I started the upgrade to 12.10 using the update-manager. In the meantime unity seems to have crashed and the starter and status bar is gone, so I can't reach the update manager window any more. I guess it is not finished yet, probably waiting for interaction. How can I get that window back? Mod+Tab doesn't work. Though Ctrl+Super+d did work yet..
[08:47] <CQ> JonasF: worst case: go to a console, kill it, and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and hope it finishes... you may have to remove an dpkg lockfile manually
[08:50] <SixtyFold> is it suggested to use adobe flash player in firefox in ubuntu anymore?
[08:50] <SixtyFold> since adobe isnt supporting flash for linux anymore?
[08:51] <auronandace> SixtyFold: if you don't need flash then it doesn't matter
[08:55] <JonasF> CQ: okay :-(
[08:58] <CQ_> JonasF: I've had to do that inthe past and its worked without problems
[08:59] <guang_> Can libgtk-3-dev be installed on ubuntu10.04?
[09:00] <sachael> why is there no GUI tool to configure lightdm? I know I can edit the config file, but some simple graphical tool would have been nice. :|
[09:00] <JonasF> CQ_: alright
[09:01] <tintin> Anybody there?
[09:01] <lapak10> yupp...ask?
[09:02] <tintin> What is the latest stable version for ubuntu?
[09:02] <lapak10> 12.10
[09:02] <SixtyFold> well, i do need flash, btw
[09:02] <tintin> Some people say, ubuntu sucks
[09:02] <tintin> they say , ubuntu is for newbie
[09:02] <lapak10> thats just not right about ubuntu
[09:03] <lapak10> ubuntu is versatile
[09:03] <lapak10> it covers from newbie to advanced
[09:03] <SouravAJ> agree with lapal10
[09:03] <tintin> Those may be use gentoo
[09:03] <tintin> may use
[09:03] <lapak10> you ..yourself can see.... only this channel has the most active users ;)
[09:04] <tintin> So what? they are newbie
[09:04] <lapak10> ubuntu has the biggest community of active users
[09:04] <tintin> And they are not active, rather just joined here.
[09:04] <lapak10> all of them are working
[09:04] <tintin> working with what?
[09:05] <auronandace> !ot
[09:05] <tintin> Which irc client or software do you use to join #ubuntu ?
[09:05] <SouravAJ> tintin try ubuntu and explore thn u will know and its clear your doubt abt ubuntu
[09:05] <lapak10> XCHAT
[09:06] <tintin> I have used ubuntu 9.04 before
[09:06] <lapak10> tintin: have you used ubuntu urself??
[09:06] <DeJQit> KVirc
[09:06] <tintin> lapak10: ^
[09:06] <J_> me i learned on 9.04
[09:07] <lapak10> i agree souravAJ.....u should try ubuntu first
[09:07] <lapak10> and ask ubuntu related probs here....
[09:07] <lapak10> use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics
[09:07] <tintin> lapak10: I have used ubuntu 9.04 before, that was good. but todays gnome-3 doesn't look good to me.
[09:08] <lapak10> then try KDE,Unity,Gnome classic, XFCE
[09:08] <lapak10> there are plenty of desktop managers
[09:09] <lapak10> you are not forced to use gnome3
[09:09] <fairuz_> Hi guys, in my fstab I don't have am mount point specifically for /home
[09:09] <tintin> I won't use KDE, that is not ubuntu, that is kubuntu, and KDE need more ram, i have only 1GB ram
[09:09] <fairuz_>  I just bought a new hdd, can I just add a new entry to the fstab to mount my /home there?
[09:11] <SouravAJ> tintin wht u need in a os services look or anything else ?
[09:11] <CQ_> fairuz_: yes, but you might want to move /home to /home_old and mkdir /home first so you can copy the existing home data over with rsync --archive --verbose /home_old/* /home
[09:11] <auronandace> !home | fairuz
[09:11] <fairuz_> CQ_: Yes sure. Thanks
[09:14] <reisio> tintin: your dog is cute
[09:15] <Braden`> Hello
[09:15] <olo> help
[09:15] <Braden`> Is there a way to have apt change the sources list on its own?
[09:15] <Braden`> The servers I have specified in sources.list are not responding.
[09:16] <Braden`> Also
[09:16] <Braden`> After I make changes to grub, how do I have it update the boot files?
[09:16] <r0n1n> Braden`: sudo update-grub?
[09:18] <olo> jest tam ktoś
[09:18] <chaos_> whats a good network monitoring solution when you cant see all the traffic?
[09:19] <himanshu_linux> hi  ,.
[09:19] <olo> jak to działa
[09:19] <chaos_> hi
[09:19] <sachael> is there any sensible reason to do live upgrade (is it called that?) from 12.04 to 12.10? I'm not used unity/gnome3/whatever
[09:19] <r0n1n> chaos_: how about wireshark?
[09:20] <sachael> chaos_: on what level? wireshark is good for inspecting traffin on packet level
[09:20] <himanshu_linux> Have any used "wader" ? It is a modem manager . I want to know, how it works ?
[09:20] <lapak10> sachael: No need to ugrade.... ubuntu 12.04 is gud.
[09:20] <chaos_> yes wireshark is great
[09:20] <chaos_> i can not see all the traffic with it like the traffic from my router specifically
[09:20] <chaos_> i tried tcpdump too
[09:21] <chaos_> any ideas?
[09:21] <himanshu_linux> Have anyone used "wader" ? It is a modem manager . I want to know, how it works ?
[09:22] <chaos_> is wader isp level?
[09:22] <SouravAJ> @chaos: use scapy
[09:22] <chaos_> thanks i will check it out right shnow
[09:22] <sachael> that feeling when you spellcheck your post half a page up and it has 3 typos
[09:23] <himanshu_linux> chaos_ i don't know . if you tell me more what you want i can find it.
[09:23] <anerDev> hi folks !!
[09:23] <anerDev> who know "serviio" app ?
[09:23] <Braden`> unity won't start
[09:23] <Braden`> It just says "can't start display"
[09:24] <chaos_> im just tryin monitor the network himashoe_linux
[09:24] <olo> helo
[09:25] <chaos_> just wondering, has anyone seen that cantor.dust project work yet??
[09:26] <almoxarife> anerDev: why use it?
[09:26] <Braden`> Does anyone know how to set the framebuffer to 1280x768 so that when the computer starts all console text will be in that resolution?
[09:27] <Braden`> For 1,580 people, the channel is awefully quiet.
[09:27] <voyager2> hi all
[09:27] <voyager2> anyone know about installing linux on grub vhd ?
[09:28] <voyager2> vill linuxes or ubuntu in fact can identify grub based virtual hdds ?
[09:28] <voyager2> anyone has any idea ?
[09:28] <SouravAJ> braden : http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/3393-how-set-up-framebuffer-part-1-a.html
[09:28] <chaos_> were all on our terminal trying to take down deepspace9
[09:28] <chimney> morning :) having problems with jack ffado and my thinkpad
[09:29] <Braden`> Thank you
[09:29] <voyager2> on windows we can identify them usinf some kind of driver .
[09:29] <voyager2> so we can access grubs virtuall hdds and use it as source
[09:29] <Braden`> If the Kardassians, Romulans, Klingons, and the Dominian couldn't do it; you won't be able to either...
[09:29] <Braden`> Cardassians
[09:29] <Braden`> lol
[09:29] <chaos_> :)
[09:30] <voyager2> :/
[09:30] <chimney> Braden`: sure
[09:30] <Braden`> Almost spelled it like Kardashians
[09:30] <Braden`> anyways, afk to try the suggestions
[09:30] <chimney> morning :) having problems with jack ffado and my thinkpad
[09:30] <Braden`> SouravAJ:  Can this be done without having to recompile the kernel?
[09:30] <chimney> and an Echo Fire Audio 12
[09:31] <Braden`> Surely the default kernel used by ubuntu has framebuffer support
[09:31] <SouravAJ> braden: u can google it for various option :)
[09:32] <Braden`> Man
[09:32] <musictoto> exit
[09:32] <Braden`> For some reason, after installing gnome-shell, XWindows no longer works
[09:32] <chaos_> scapy uses tcpdump to sniff
[09:32] <Braden`> and now, I am stuck working in an insanely small console window that you'd think would be easy to change the resolution, but it isn't.
[09:33] <chaos_> i wonder why i can not see the packets from the server. i bet this cheap linksys cisco router is blocking the packets
[09:34] <SouravAJ> @chaos: u can use backtrak it has various tools ok network analysis and much more
[09:35] <Dragonster82> What is *.net * .split?
[09:35] <chaos_> i know. i think the problem is different. i usually have no problem. it just must be this router
[09:35] <chaos_> or nic
[09:35] <tsimpson> !netsplit | Dragonster82
[09:36] <Braden`> Dragonster82:  Two hubs broke their connection.  The people who quit are on the other side of that broken link
[09:36] <chaos_> its just annoying me badly
[09:37] <chimney> morning :) having problems with jack ffado and my thinkpad
[09:37] <chimney> and an Echo Fire Audio 12
[09:38] <chaos_> sorry i dont know what your talking about chimknee
[09:40] <chaos_> so has anyone seen that cantor.dust project stuff? its bad ass i want to do some network stuff like that
[09:40] <chimney> ok I'll ask later
[09:44] <Braden`> MAKEDEV -d /dev/fb0 <-- System returns, "I do not know how to make fb0".  What am I doing wrong?
[09:44] <chaos_> where is everyone from? im from the seattle area..
[09:44] <nicola> !list
[09:44] <chaos_> !music
[09:45] <chaos_> is there anything new in 12.10 from 12.04?
[09:46] <chaos_> notable?

[09:51] <akis> is there any other more convinient way to change a file's icon other than to click to this file and choose properties etc.
[09:51] <akis> ?
[09:54] <bazhang> akis, what about installing a different icon set and theme
[09:56] <MonkeyDust> !eyecandy > akis
[10:02] <akis> bazhang: i installed already faenza icons, but i can see other icons for some kinds for files in my windows manager and other icons for the same kind of files in chromium downloads or in some windows when i am searching for files.
[10:03] <gogeta> bazhang: you play with the latest e17
[10:03] <bazhang> gogeta, not really no
[10:05] <gogeta> bazhang: its win all the stuff unity and gnome struggle with but done correctly like window fx without compiz

[10:54] <gaetano_> wols: can u help me to remove that error?
[10:55] <logictheo> I'm at the friendly setup and there's a question that confuses me. It says 1. Connect a microphone to your microphone port(I did!)..
[10:55] <logictheo> 2. "Click test then speak to your external microphone" I did Yes
[10:56] <logictheo> This is what confuses me "3. After a few seconds, your speech will be played back to you". No my laptop built in speakers did not play anything
[10:56] <lapion> I have this very annoying, even irritating bug that has been in ubuntu ever since 2009
[10:56] <logictheo> but when I plug in my headphones also, yes then it plays
[10:56] <logictheo> so the microphone works.
[10:57] <logictheo> Does anyone here use friendly or know about it?
[10:57] <logictheo> maybe its also called "checkbox"?
[10:58] <lapion> if one of the lines in the fstab is not correct, or one of the devices in the fstab is not mountable/swapon-able the maintenance mode cannot continue beyond fsck/mount
[10:58] <logictheo> I have no other programs running while I run friendly, only this chat so I can get support. Is this the right channel?
[11:00] <logictheo> I'll do it the easy way. I'll answer yes and be done with it.
[11:00] <lapion> logictheo, does the headphone have a microphone attached to it ?
[11:00] <logictheo> lapion: Yes that's it. I got no other external microphone
[11:01] <lapion> logictheo, you have to select the internal microphone with alsamixer
[11:01] <marcus> anyone know what to do when unetbootin does not show up any OS?
[11:01] <lapion> or with the pulseaudio lmixer
[11:02] <Sharyari> Hi. After upgrading, my mp3-player is not recognized anymore. Nothing when I do lsusb or dmesg
[11:02] <alone> marcus: Maybe your usb device ?
[11:02] <marcus> yes, what about it??
[11:02] <BluesKaj> logictheo, that's known as a headset (mic and headphone combination)
[11:02] <alone> marcus: dead ?
[11:03] <marcus> no, it says "UnetBootin: choose OS" and it has a lot of files on it with boot flag..
[11:03] <logictheo> lapion: Misunderstanding I think? I'm currently at this test "Audio Test - This test will check that recording sound using an external microphone works correctly"
[11:04] <logictheo> lapion: It works only when I also plug in my headphones because otherwise the sound does not play from the laptops internal speakers. Sorry if I don't make any sense.
[11:04] <alone> marcus: so do you have any .iso on your usb ?
[11:04] <marcus> no, i used unetbootin
[11:04] <alone> but unetbootint needs usb
[11:04] <marcus> i have usb-_-
[11:04] <ozz1> ls
[11:04] <alone> you put a .iso on your usb via thought unetbootin
[11:04] <lapion> logictheo, what program are you using to do the "Audio Test"?
[11:05] <logictheo> lapion: friendly
[11:05] <marcus> oh, well unetbootin unzipped the ISO in usb ..
[11:05] <logictheo> lapion: I open the unity interface. I type friendly, I hit enter and it opened up.
[11:05] <alone> so what doesn't work ?
[11:05] <marcus> the OS wont be seen in list
[11:06] <marcus> in unetbootin list
[11:06] <alone> ah
[11:06] <alone> did you do the unzipped ?
[11:06] <ozz1> for a cluster computer what linux distro is the best ?
[11:06] <marcus> well, unetbootin moved all files from iso, yes
[11:06] <alone> ozz1: you have specify distro for this
[11:06] <logictheo> Oops, now I went back and it doesn't remember what I chose...I have to do it again, but that's fine.
[11:07] <alone> marcus: it's on the boot that the list doesn't printed ?
[11:07] <liquidstone> guys how to install properly nvidia drivers?
[11:07] <logictheo> The first test is to check that my internal speakers in the laptop are working correctly.
[11:07] <marcus> yes
[11:07] <alone> marcus: ubuntu ?
[11:07] <marcus> no, im going for windows 7
[11:08] <logictheo> The 2nd test is about checking that the onboard microphone works correctly and it did.
[11:08] <alone> marcus: joke ? x)
[11:08] <unityman> Any disadvantages to running the Gnome3 over Unity?? Is the Gnome 3 version stable and up-to-date??
[11:08] <marcus> no.. i couldnt get any music software working with midi on linux :(
[11:08] <alone> marcus: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/fr/download it work all times.
[11:09] <marcus> im on lubuntu.. going to install windows 7-_-
[11:09] <alone> marcus: kk
[11:09] <gaetano_> anyone knows how can i remove this file error to install unetbootin?   http://paste.ubuntu.com/1311878/
[11:09] <Neo31> Hello, I have problem booting ubuntu 12.10 live cd on hp pavilion g6. screen turn black just after the boot menu (where I chose to try, install ubuntu)
[11:09] <logictheo> Now I'm at the 3rd test which confused me because when I plug in my external microphone the internal speakers get disabled. They don't play which is illogical.
[11:09] <unityman> marcus: understood good luck
[11:09] <alone> marcus: with you can't get music ? oO
[11:10] <alone> marcus: sudo apt-get install vlc
[11:10] <marcus> im trying to get a midi controller work over WIFI but its not easy :(
[11:10] <marcus> so i decided windows.. now u dont know what to do?????
[11:10] <alone> maybe it's your windows's iso
[11:11] <alone> try with other usb bootable soft
[11:11] <marcus> such as?
[11:11] <alone> wait
[11:11] <marianoguerra> hi, I have problems with xmodmap not being picked up on boot nor in wake up, I can't find a bug related to it, any hints?
[11:12] <alone> marcus: http://www.askvg.com/a-bootable-usb-utility-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-vista-server-2008-and-7/
[11:12] <logictheo> lapion: So the answer to the question "Did you hear your speech played back?" the answer will be both yes and no. Yes because if I plug in my headphones I hear something, but if they are not plugged in, and only my external microphone is plugged in, then the internal speakers won't play.
[11:13] <marcus> seems to be for windows? problem there, is that wine wont recognize USB drives.. :(
[11:13] <lapion> logictheo, your mic input is set to the 3.5mm input, you have to set it to the internal microphone with the mixer,and turn off mute
[11:13] <alone> marcus: or you have an other solution
[11:14] <alone> get VMware and run windows
[11:14] <marcus> does asio work on VMWare? (no lag sounds)
[11:14] <lapion> marcus, wine doesn't need to rcognise the usb drives wine is not an os, or a virtual machine, linux does the drive thingies for it ;-P
[11:14] <alone> marcus: try it, I don't know more
[11:15] <marcus> kkkkkk
[11:15] <marcus> bye
[11:16] <gaetano_> hey guys, im trying to install ubuntustudio 12.10 , i already downloaded the torrent and im trying to get the live USB installing unetbootin but i got this error in the terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/1311878/
[11:16] <logictheo> lapion: Is that installed out of the box in Ubuntu 12.04?
[11:17] <gaby> hello guys - can any body tell me the site to post a pic of my terminal?
[11:17] <unityman> whylinuxsucks2012 addressed this issue and usb doest work the same as midi...  Garageband for Apple is the way to go.. Hate to say that..

[11:27] <MonkeyDust> ozz1  makes no difference
[11:27] <codemaniac> ozz1: it is client independent
[11:27] <ozz1> codemaniac zou get mz msg ?
[11:27] <thesadmafioso> omidp: there isn't a physical switch on the USB ?
[11:27] <codemaniac> ozz1: your test is successful
[11:27] <codemaniac> :)
[11:27] <Neo31> Hello, I have problem booting ubuntu 12.10 live cd on hp pavilion g6. screen turn black just after the boot menu (where I chose to try, install ubuntu)
[11:27] <thesadmafioso> ozz1: yes, your test with me was also successful
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset > Neo31
[11:28] <Neo31> I just tried that MonkeyDust
[11:28] <omidp> thesadmafioso, well i put my memory in my friends cell phone and after that such thing happened
[11:29] <Neo31> doesn't seem to work MonkeyDust
[11:29] <BluesKaj> !alternate | Neo31,
[11:29] <thesadmafioso> omidp: what kind of file system does the medium have? is it a USB flash drive?
[11:29] <ozz1> ok, my question is : what linux disto is the best for cluster ????
[11:29] <BluesKaj> bummer
[11:29] <ozz1> debian ubuntu arch ?
[11:30] <Neo31> outch do i have to install graphics card from terminal after alternate install BluesKaj ?
[11:30] <omidp> thesadmafioso, its Micro sd and contain music only
[11:30] <Neo31> plus it seems discontinued! any other methode
[11:31] <thesadmafioso> omnidp: I would check the micro sd card for an actual physical switch if you haven't. it might be a little slider type switch on the side
[11:31] <BluesKaj> Neo31, depends on the graphics card, but alternate is no longer available for 12.10
[11:31] <thesadmafioso> omidp: that could be why gparted is telling you it's read only
[11:31] <logictheo> I better do this test later. I know someone who can get me all sorts of devices to test this system well...
[11:32] <Neo31> what a fail! i need some quick workaround or abort the installation for a friend
[11:37] <oal> So I get 6 months music streaming + 20GB storage when I buy a song in the Ubuntu store. Is the 20GB permanent, or will that be removed as well after 6 months?
[11:37] <Neo31> nomodeset shows plymouth but then it breaks to a tty screen
[11:38] <ddsj> if ubuntu will run on android hardware and steam is coming to ubuntu, does that imply you can play steam games on android hardware?
[11:38] <BluesKaj> Neo31, is this the install or the live cd ?
[11:39] <Neo31> graphics card is intel 2nd generation
[11:39] <Neo31> yes BluesKaj
[11:40] <BluesKaj> Neo31, if it's the installed OS then login ,password , then startx
[11:40] <Neo31> after a while on the tty screen it turned back to black with a blinking cursor then everything is black again
[11:40] <Neo31> no I am trying to install ubuntu in dual boot for a new user BluesKaj
[11:40] <Neo31> it's the live cd
[11:41] <BluesKaj> Neo31, did you do a md5sum on the ubuntu image after burning it
[11:42] <Neo31> yes i did and verified disc is perfectly written
[11:42] <Neo31> are there any other options in addition to nomodeset to try ?
[11:42] <BluesKaj> ok , I should have said before burning as well
[11:42] <BluesKaj> Neo31,^
[11:43] <mario__> salve a tutti
[11:43] <mario__> list
[11:44] <MonkeyDust> !it
[11:44] <Neo31> yeah yesh, i check the iso and verified disc burn is well done so there is no chance that the problem is damaged (i am running the check utility from the disk to be more sure)
[11:44] <Neo31> i guess it's some other problem
[11:44] <Neo31> hardware compatibility problem I guess
[11:45] <rootpt> just go to take a coffee and wait
[11:47] <Neo31> no error found
[11:47] <BluesKaj> neo  there's only one method I can think of to install ubuntu , and that is to burn the 12.04 alternate , then once installed upgrade to 12.10 if that's the OS what you want...looks like a pc hardware recognition problem with your present livecd
[11:47] <BluesKaj> Neo31,^
[11:48] <rootpt> i've got the same problem and i just waited a FEW minutes and done.
[11:49] <Neo31> :) thanks BluesKaj. I guess I'll have to abort the computer is not mine. downloading alternate plus upgrade will take too much time which i don't have
[11:49] <Neo31> ok rootpt
[11:50] <Neo31> i'll leave the computer on the black screen for few minutes than as a last try :)
[11:50] <BluesKaj> Neo31, did you try the "try ubuntu" optiojn without installing?
[11:50] <Neo31> yes i did
[11:50] <BluesKaj> an d ?
[11:51] <maximagg> hi
[11:51] <sasuke> hi guys
[11:52] <BluesKaj> Neo31, with the 'try ubuntu' , how far did you get ?
[11:52] <Neo31> same problem BluesKaj it loads plymouth but then goes into a tty screen before it turns black again
[11:53] <Neo31> I couldn't even get time to play with some commands on the tty before it turn black (maybe for 30 seconds)
[11:53] <BluesKaj> Neo31, sorry to say , I'm out of ideas
[11:53] <Neo31> thank you anyway BluesKaj :)
[11:54] <Neo31> i'll give few more tries
[11:54] <Neo31> rootpt, it doesn't seem doing anything while it is black
[11:55] <Neo31> leds of hdd and disc doesn't blink no signs of anything
[11:56] <rootpt> :-\
[11:56] <BluesKaj> Neo31, perhaps check the live cd on a differnt pc if possible
[11:57] <Neo31> trying with acpi=off
[11:57] <BluesKaj> yeah , someto=imes that works
[11:57] <Neo31> cd reader seems to work fine. and cd is intact
[11:57] <codemaniac> sasuke: hi, do you have a support query ?
[11:57] <Neo31> ok i'll try on another pc later. but i don't think this will be the problem
[11:58] <BluesKaj> i'd check it on a different pc anyway
[11:58] <sasuke> codemaniac: what i didnt get you
[11:59] <Neo31> i'll check bios too for any thing that could cause th eproblem :p
[11:59] <unityman> sasuke: wants to chat
[12:00] <sasuke> unityman: right now i don't have any query. I am reading the issues how you guys are solving :)
[12:01] <Neo31> starting crash report submission daemon ok; then it hangs
[12:03] <Neo31> nothing seems to work, I give up :p
[12:04] <Neo31> thank you very much for help BluesKaj
[12:04] <Neo31> thanks rootpt
[12:04] <rootpt> welcome dwd.
[12:05] <BluesKaj> Neo31, bummer , sorry , some pcs are just out of range hardware-wise
[12:11] <gustav__> Once you go UNIX you don't go back.
[12:11] <KM0201> gustav__: well, that might be pushing it, unix/linux isn't for everyone
[12:12] <gustav__> KM0201: Who isn't it for?
[12:12] <doomlord> i've been using linux because i like the opensource ideas but i genuinely find windows clunky now
[12:12] <KM0201> a lot of people.
[12:12] <gustav__> I'm addicted to WindowMaker. What would I do without it.
[12:13] <doomlord> the choice in WM/DE is great
[12:13] <gustav__> KM0201: Any types?
[12:13] <IdleOne> Please take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:13] <KM0201> first and foremost?... gamers
[12:13] <nikolam> doomlord, windows also restrict your usage rights. see http://windows7sins.org/ But this is Ubunut support channel, maybe advocacy is off-topic, but good to know.
[12:14] <gustav__> KM0201: HoN, Nexuiz, Death Rally, emulators, etc.
[12:14] <doomlord> q: whats the diffference between focus=mouse, focus=sloppy
[12:14]  * KM0201 sigh
[12:14] <gustav__> Wine can run Steam. I've been playing ROSE. Flawless.
[12:14] <KM0201> wine is an imperfect solution.. just look through the app database
[12:15] <IdleOne> gustav__: This conversation is not support, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:15] <mystblade9> Hi. I don't have any DVD-R's for burning the Ubuntu ISO to.. What are the other ways, except Wubi or an USB stick, to boot the liveCD and install Ubuntu?
[12:15] <gustav__> Yes, of course you give up gaming for a bit, but it's too addictive to let that matter.
[12:15] <gustav__> IdleOne: Moral support.
[12:16] <xyh> hi
[12:16] <gaetano> #ubuntustudio
[12:16] <gustav__> mystblade9: Linux can be booted from the network.
[12:16] <suttiwit> anyone playing super tux kart?
[12:16] <KM0201> suttiwit: not now, but my nephew plays it all the time.
[12:16] <gustav__> suttiwit: That's boring.
[12:16] <mystblade9> gustav__: Do I need a server for that?
[12:16] <gustav__> mystblade9: Yep.
[12:16] <mystblade9> gustav__: Don't have one available here.
[12:16] <gustav__> mystblade9: It boots from the LAN.
[12:17] <gustav__> mystblade9: What do you have then?
[12:17] <xyh> hi, can anybody tell me something about xchat? this is my first time to use it
[12:17] <KM0201> mystblade9: you just need a machine to act as the server.. .can be another machine on the network, etc
[12:17] <gustav__> xyh: WYSIWYG.
[12:17] <mystblade9> gustav__: I have only a USB stick of about 36GB, but I want to use it for files. It's currently empty so temporarily making that the boot USB and then resetting it again would be fine.
[12:17] <IdleOne> xyh: #xchat can help also see www.xchat.org for more info
[12:18] <xyh> ths
[12:18] <doomlord> would rsync be a sane way of keeping a laptop & desktop machine in sync
[12:19] <gustav__> mystblade9: Yeah. Sounds like your only option unless you can borrow an USB stick. (Am I using 'an' right here?)
[12:19] <gustav__> doomlord: I think it's popular.
[12:20] <gustav__> tar and scp would work too, + it's encrypted.
[12:21] <doomlord> or would ubuntu one  do the job (keep your data backed up in "the cloud" aswell)
[12:21] <gustav__> You can put keys on the host and client so it would work without human interaction.
[12:21] <fvdjango> Hey guys, does anyone know of a way of using Mac OS X to log into an Ubuntu machine and see the desktop and use it as if you were sitting at the Ubuntu box?
[12:21] <bkc_> doomlord: yes, but a sync-service like dropbox or ubuntu-one would work equally well (also works over teh interwebz ;P) :)
[12:21] <doomlord> what would an rsync solution look like.. some script on your desktop and you hit 'sync' when you want to?
[12:21] <bkc_> gustav__: or couple rsync with ssh and you have encrypted rsync...
[12:22] <bkc_> doomlord: yes, or a cron-job :)
[12:22] <doomlord> cron-job=?
[12:22] <Neo31> yeah right BluesKaj , I guess it should be a 12.04 rather than 12.10. I may have a chance at least with the alternate :) i'll keep an alternate with me for next time :p
[12:22] <BluesKaj> fvdjango, ssh with X forwarding
[12:22] <MonkeyDust> doomlord  cron is for scheduling jobs
[12:22] <doomlord> cron]
[12:22] <gustav__> I have never used rsync so I can't reeeally say that much about it.
[12:22] <fvdjango> BluesKaj: Thanks - I'll check it out
[12:22] <doomlord> sorry missed my terminal
[12:22] <BluesKaj> Neo31, it could work
[12:22] <MonkeyDust> i use rsync for my backups
[12:23] <gustav__> It all depends on where you are going to make the backup. Local, LAN, WAN, etc.
[12:23] <Neo31> BluesKaj, yeah it was just bad luck :p
[12:23] <gustav__> On a protected LAN I guess rsync with ssh is fine.
[12:23] <gustav__> WITHOUT, I mean...
[12:29] <Mrokii> Hello. Can somebody recommend a good (and fast!) app to rip Audio CDs into ogg?
[12:30] <MonkeyDust> Mrokii  in a terminal, type jack -Q -R
[12:30] <Mrokii> jack?
[12:31] <BluesKaj> !cdrao
[12:31] <zeattacker00t> taek kon cok
[12:32] <MonkeyDust> Mrokii  jack the ripper, get the pun :)
[12:32] <MonkeyDust> !info jack
[12:32] <Mrokii> Ah... will take a look, thanks.
[12:33] <Umeaboy> Hi!
[12:33] <Umeaboy> May I ask what you use to extract descriptions from a spec-file & then put it back once its translated?
[12:33] <codemaniac> the name of our school is Jhalda
[12:33] <Umeaboy> IF you use spec-files.
[12:34] <codemaniac> oops sorry
[12:36] <guest-2kf3bf> Problem: Was messing around in linux, now I don't have the start menu and other things, cannot open programs or anything on my main account. Logged in as Guest.
[12:37] <guest-2kf3bf> Any way to reset?
[12:37] <rolfschoell> hello all :-)
[12:38] <guest-2kf3bf> Anyone_
[12:38] <guest-2kf3bf> ?
[12:39] <MonkeyDust> guest-2kf3bf  repeat your question every 10 minutes or so, if someone has the answer, they will most probably help you
[12:39] <guest-2kf3bf> okay cool
[12:39] <guest-2kf3bf> can i somehow view the accounts video folder so i could watch some futurama till someone is able to help?
[12:41] <cblokland> Hello, I dont know if I am at the right channel for this but I am currently facing issues with installing mysql, I had it installed earlier on ubuntu 12.04, modified the my.cnf file and that is when things got messed up, mysql could not start anymore, after lot of different tries of configurations I decided to backup the databases and reinstall mysql, unfortunatly this is also failing now.. apt-get remove and purge and autoclean a
[12:41] <cblokland> re executed but I cannot reinstall it anymore because it keeps throwing me errors about 'Table plugin already exists'
[12:41] <jrib> cblokland: purge the mysql-common package
[12:41] <PatrickDickey> guest-2kf3bf: as for the video folder, you could try CTRL + Alt+ F1 through F6 (pick a key), log in as your own account, then chmod 766 home/username/Videos (or wherever the folder is located). That should give you read/write for everyone, and everything for your account. Just make sure you change it back when you've solved the problem.
[12:44] <doomlord> is there a focus-follows-mouse option that would be a bit more friendly for globalmenu eg focus only switches when the mouse cursor stops, so you can throw the cursor from a window in the middle of the screen to the globalmenu without losing focus, but still select windows by just movign
[12:44] <rolfschoell> lol
[12:44] <doomlord> (i tend to just move windows to the top if i want to use the menu)
[12:46] <grayotic> hi guys, is there a way to make the mouse2 menu transparent again in ubuntu 12.10?
[12:47] <yeehi> I just installed Drupal using Synaptic - how do I "get" it into a web browser, so I can set up a site?
[12:47] <PatrickDickey> yeehi, what happens when you open up your webbrowser, and type http://localhost
[12:48] <PatrickDickey> yeehi: or click the link that just came up in mine.
[12:48] <yeehi> I get Error Not Found
[12:48] <rajmahendra> i dont see xorg.conf file in my system how to create one "
