[00:00] <jrib> satwood: what kind of conf files?
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> satwood: possibly, they are only files, so you can just rename the original back in.
[00:00] <Netham45> Also, once I switch to an X console, I can't switch to any text-based VTs. It's either solid black, or I experience a full system lock.
[00:00] <brontosaurusrex> stephanb: ok, i get it now
[00:00] <satwood> jrib: ActionParsnip: conf files for exim4, dovecot, openvpn etc.  I didn't get "can just rename the original back in."
[00:01] <birarda> wondering if anyone might be able to help with an iptables problem
[00:01] <birarda> I'm getting can't initialize iptables table `nat'
[00:01] <birarda> says table does not exist
[00:01] <jrib> satwood: it's more of a version issue; if the version of the software is the same (or you know the conf file format/settings have not changed), it should be fine
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> satwood: well, if there is a conf file already there, rename it then  copy the Ubuntu one in
[00:01] <birarda> lsmod doesn't show anything related to iptables
[00:01] <brontosaurusrex> stephanb: and your server is linux as well?
[00:01] <satwood> got it, thanks guys
[00:02] <stephanb> brontosaurusrex: i think so, it's some generic NAS
[00:02] <satwood> i assume ubuntu also has paths as /etc/exim4, /etc/dovecot, /etc/openvpn etc. ?
[00:03] <brontosaurusrex> stephanb: can you ssh to that thing?
[00:03] <stephanb> brontosaurusrex:  nope :(
[00:04] <conley> I upgraded to 12.10, and now I'm getting an error about dpkg returning an error code. I've tried dpkg --configure -a but it's still broken
[00:04] <brontosaurusrex> well, then there must be a way to mount this samba share into the system somehow
[00:05] <brontosaurusrex> stephanb: like http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/mounting-a-samba-share-933322/
[00:05] <Jordan_U> conley: Please pastebin the complete error message.
[00:05] <stephanb> brontosaurusrex: i got it mounted, but audacious doesnt support adding folders from samba shares, this only works with normal files
[00:06] <brontosaurusrex> how did you mounted it? nautilus?
[00:06] <stephanb> brontosaurusrex: fstab
[00:06] <brontosaurusrex> oh
[00:06] <conley> http://pastebin.com/Uvi6Dku7 Jordan_U
[00:06] <birarda> http://pastebin.com/HfRSg82g here's a paste of the iptables problem
[00:07] <brontosaurusrex> stephanb: perhaps run yourplayer from cli and then drop that share and see if any errors pop out
[00:07] <stephanb> brontosaurusrex: would be worth a try
[00:08] <brontosaurusrex> could be some sort of a permission problem
[00:08] <stephanb> brontosaurusrex: nope
[00:09] <brontosaurusrex> stephanb: but you can see this files normaly with some file manager? copy them localy and so on?
[00:09] <stephanb> brontosaurusrex: yes, all that works fine, it just seems that audacious doesnt support adding directorys from samba shares
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> brontosaurusrex: nautilus can mount samba shares
[00:10] <brontosaurusrex> ActionParsnip: yes, but you probably cant use those urls right?
[00:10] <stephanb> i think i'll just go with MPD...
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> brontosaurusrex: have you tried with nautilus though, or is this a CLI only system?
[00:11] <brontosaurusrex> stephanb: perhaps try "deadbeef" as plazer, very similar.
[00:12] <brontosaurusrex> ActionParsnip: stephanb is asking, iam trying to help :)
[00:12] <brontosaurusrex> player*
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> brontosaurusrex: ahhhhh i see
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> stephanb: you can use /run/user/USER$/gvfs/foldernamehere
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> stephanb: the mounts get mounted there as folders
[00:14] <foxy999> Can someone tell me how to fix my update manager, i think i need to update my repository
[00:14] <stephanb> ActionParsnip: i just googled it, it is a specific problem with audacious, not with mounting the shares
[00:15] <stephanb> brontosaurusrex: is there a recent ppa for deadbeef?
[00:15] <brontosaurusrex> stephanb: iam using deb-multimedia.org
[00:15] <brontosaurusrex> but iam not on ubuntu at the moment
[00:16] <stephanb> brontosaurusrex: okay
[00:16] <Diana> hi
[00:16] <LucidGuy> Anyone recommend a good iptables generator.  Something simple I can use to create iptables.  Happy to do it myself with just a text editor, but always concerned I've made a typo or something causing possible security issues.
[00:17] <jjoson_> hi there..
[00:17] <Diana> I just want to download ubuntu from your website
[00:17] <jjoson_> diana..sorry but i'm also new for this one
[00:17] <Diana> Please let me know the procedue
[00:17] <Diana> k
[00:17] <satwood> guys, i know there is a tool where a console can be observed by two people, while one types, after i ssh, can someone please tell me what it is ?
[00:18] <jjoson_> want to ask if ubuntu is not sending copy of OS anymore like before?
[00:18] <jpds> satwood: byobu.
[00:19] <jpds> jjoson_: No, that was stopped a while ago.
[00:19] <stephanb> brontosaurusrex: deadbeef seems nice, but the gui is ugly ;)
[00:19] <foxy999> I get this error when I check for updates: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available
[00:19] <satwood> jpds: that doesnt seem like it, i just read it quickly
[00:19] <brontosaurusrex> stephanb: does it work? evev if ugly
[00:19] <brontosaurusrex> even*
[00:20] <jjoson_> oh thanks..
[00:20] <stephanb> brontosaurusrex: yeah
[00:20] <jpds> satwood: Someone runs it with 'byobu'.
[00:20] <satwood> what i am looking for is i ssh into a server. another person is also able to "join": and see what commands i type, and the screen output
[00:20] <conley> Can anyone paste me the ubuntu 12.10 /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[00:20] <jpds> satwood: The next person does: "byobu attach".
[00:20] <satwood> ok
[00:20] <jpds> satwood: Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
[00:20] <satwood> so i ssh into ubuntu and then what ?
[00:20] <jjoson_> jpds : so its all download now?
[00:21] <jpds> satwood: 00:20:19 < jpds> satwood: Someone runs it with 'byobu'.
[00:21] <jpds> satwood: 00:20:31 < jpds> satwood: The next person does: "byobu attach".
[00:21] <jpds> satwood: ;-)
[00:21] <satwood> jpds: so what do i do after ssh into ubuntu ?
[00:21] <stephanb> brontosaurusrex: but i got a workaround with gvfs so that it works with audacious too
[00:21] <jpds> satwood: Type: byoby
[00:21] <brontosaurusrex> stephanb: cool
[00:21] <jpds> jjoson_: Yes.
[00:21] <satwood> ok
[00:21] <satwood> jpds: then the other guy to connect and see, what does he do ?
[00:22] <jjoson_> ok..thanks..maybe i'l download it next time..thank you
[00:22] <jpds> satwood: Are you even reading, what I'm typing.
[00:22] <jjoson_> by the way how will i log out from here
[00:22] <satwood> jpds: yes
[00:22] <jpds> satwood: 00:21:09 < jpds> satwood: 00:20:31 < jpds> satwood: The next person does: "byobu attach".
[00:22] <satwood> jpds: i saw i should i) ssh, ii) type byobu, iii) othe rperson types "byobu attach"
[00:23] <satwood> jpds: how does the next person know where/how to attach, so before iii) he also does ssh into the same ubnutu ?
[00:23] <satwood> jpds: and just types that ? is there a session number or tty number or something ? what if two others also want to do this separately on the same machine ?
[00:25] <jpds> satwood: You both need to be on the same Ubuntu system that's running byobu.
[00:25] <conley> anyone? I just need /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:26] <satwood> jpds: i got that. but lets say A and B do this. Now C and D also want to do the same. How is that possible if they do byobu attch, they may get attached to A
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> conley: for which release?
[00:27] <conley> ActionParsnip: 12.10
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> conley: gimme a sec
[00:27] <conley> ActionParsnip: Thanks man :)
[00:28] <birarda> anybody know why my iptables wouldn't have the 'nat' table?
[00:28] <birarda> http://pastebin.com/HfRSg82g
[00:28] <jpds> satwood: They can create a new 'client'.
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> conley: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1319531/   I have the partner repo enabled in there
[00:28] <conley> ActionParsnip: alright, thanks a lot
[00:29] <satwood> jpds: how does D know to connect to C, instead of A ?
[00:29] <jpds> satwood: "byobu new-session"
[00:30] <jpds> satwood: "byobu ls"
[00:30] <satwood> jpds: wha tis the command C uses to connect to D instead of to A ?
[00:30] <jpds> satwood: "byobu attach-session"
[00:30] <satwood> jpds: is it byobu attach 2 ?
[00:30] <satwood> jpds: ok, how does C connect to A vs. connect to D ?
[00:30] <jpds> satwood: Probably, man page suggests "attach-session -t N"
[00:31] <satwood> jpds: ok thanks
[00:31] <jpds> byobu++ # awesome program.
[00:31] <jpds> satwood: Look at the tmux manpage.
[00:32] <satwood> ok, thanks
[00:35] <chadams> just installed ubuntu 12.10 last night via the wubi, would like to add the host drive to the devices list in the folder manager, anyone know how to do this?
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> chadams: run:    ln -s /host ~/Windows
[00:36] <orionsbelt> does anyone know why my computer wont accept two wireless connections at once?  ive got two dongles and one wont connect
[00:37] <orionsbelt> ubuntu oneiric
[00:37] <orionsbelt> os
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> orionsbelt: you may need to manually set one up using /etc/network/interfaces file   as far as I know, network manager will only manage one connection by one adapter
[00:39] <wilee-nilee> chadams, It is actually already there, I forget where though, remember wubi is a file in windows, and set for a try out not longterm use.
[00:41] <chadams> I want to put it here: http://imgur.com/Mce69
[00:42] <kaushal> Is Airtel 4G LTE USB Modem/Stick support available in Ubuntu 11.10?
[00:43] <chadams> it's already mounted to /host
[00:43] <chadams> is it possible to mount it again to a folder that ubuntu will recognize as a device?
[00:43] <chadams> or can you only mount a drive once?
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> chadams: yes, that's why the symlink makesit easily accessible :)
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: run:  lsusb      use the 8 character hex ID to find guides

[00:46] <chadams> oops, thought red meant private message
[00:46] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: guides?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: ok, use that to find guides online
[00:46] <chadams> apparent it just means my name was mentioned
[00:46] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: any url?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=19d2%3A0166%20ONDA   too hard?
[00:47] <simplew> ActionParsnip: can you help creating a local repository?
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> simplew: http://www.packtpub.com/article/create-local-ubuntu-repository-using-apt-mirror-apt-cacher
[00:50] <birarda> hey, sorry, hate to keep bothering
[00:51] <birarda> just wondering if somebody know what might be up with this iptables problem
[00:51] <birarda> says 'nat' table doesn't exist
[00:51] <birarda> http://pastebin.com/HfRSg82g
[00:51] <simplew> ActionParsnip: hummm
[00:51] <simplew> ActionParsnip: thanks
[00:52] <vfw> birarda: iptables -L
[00:53] <simplew> ActionParsnip: did you ever created a local mirror?
[00:54] <birarda> vfw: that runs fine and shows me nothing
[00:54] <birarda> well no rules I mean
[00:54] <simplew> ActionParsnip: the thing is, i have downloaded many packages, and i want them to be available locally if for example i need to do a clean isntall, so instead download them again, i could create a local repo to save bandwith
[00:54] <vfw> birarda: Then there are none.
[00:55] <vfw> birarda: Do you have a firewall script?
[00:55] <birarda> no, it's ettercap trying to add rules that fires the error
[00:55] <vfw> birarda: Or have you created any rules?
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> simplew: you can use aptoncd for that
[00:55] <vfw> birarda: What error?  (Show us)
[00:55] <birarda> vfw: http://pastebin.com/HfRSg82g
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> !info aptoncd
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> yay
[00:56] <birarda> the error message is the same as the one shown there
[00:56] <birarda> happens during the ettercap run (when it starts and when I stop it)
[00:59] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: hi again
[00:59] <nydel> hello all

[01:00] <kaushal> where can i get usb-modeswitch-data?
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> !info usb-modeswitch-data
[01:03] <birarda> where should I look for the iptables_nat module?
[01:04] <vfw> birarda: apt-cache
[01:05] <vfw> birarda: sudo apt-get install iptables
[01:05] <birarda> it's installed
[01:08] <vfw> Should just be there.
[01:08] <vfw> birarda: How did you install iptables?
[01:08] <vfw> birarda: What version?
[01:08] <birarda> didn't. said it was already installed when I ran sudo apt-get install iptables
[01:09] <birarda> iptables v1.4.12
[01:09] <vfw> hummmm... I dono
[01:09] <birarda> also tried reinstalling
[01:10] <vfw> birarda: That usually doesn't do anything.
[01:10] <birarda> figured as much
[01:10] <birarda> tried modprobe iptable_nat
[01:10] <birarda> not found
[01:12] <wilee-nilee> birarda, This thread at the ubuntu forums is generally recommended for info in this area if needed. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812
[01:13] <qwd> Jordan_U: Hey, sorry I did some other stuff while waiting for mplayer to install and completely forgot about it. Here's the output when trying to play the video file. http://pastebin.com/M6tF1qg3
[01:13] <wilee-nilee> birarda, And this is a link within that thread. http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/iptables/
[01:15] <vfw> birarda: What exactly are you trying to do?
[01:16] <birarda> figure out why the table doesn't exist and create it so that ettercap works
[01:17] <birarda> or not create it I mean but figure out why it's not there
[01:19] <vfw> birarda: lsmod|grep ipt
[01:19] <birarda> nada
[01:19] <wilee-nilee> birarda,  ettercap would not be covered on this channel it is a sniffer.
[01:19] <birarda> issue isn't related to etter cap really
[01:19] <birarda> iptables -t nat -L also throws the error
[01:23] <vfw> birarda: grep ipt /etc/modprobe.d/*
[01:23] <birarda> nada
[01:24] <kaushal> what does usb-modeswitch-data package do?
[01:24] <vfw> birarda: And  lsmod |grep ipt  also returns nothing?
[01:24] <kaushal> basically i need to understand about usb-modeswitch-data and usb-modeswitch
[01:25] <birarda> yep, same
[01:25] <vfw> birarda: lsb_release -a
[01:25] <KBentley57> it looks like it is a small data partition that is used to hold drivers

[01:27] <vfw> birarda: That's all I have for you.
[01:27] <angela-> hi i have instaled wuby 10.12 in windows what is the afantichs of the disafvantichs of it ?
[01:28] <birarda> rebooted already and I'm fully up to date
[01:28] <birarda> darn
[01:28] <john_doe_jr> how do I add the following repo: http://origin-download.mono-project.com/archive/2.6.7/download/openSUSE_11.3/
[01:28] <vfw> birarda: This is a normal install, (not wubi), right?
[01:29] <birarda> it's a chromebox
[01:29] <KBentley57> angela-, when you use wubi, you aren't getting the benefits of the native ext4 file system for one
[01:29] <birarda> so technically it's chrubuntu
[01:29] <vfw> birarda: What is a chromebox?
[01:29] <birarda> http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/chromebox.html
[01:30] <RiXtEr> john_doe_jr, since its a rpm based repo I am not sure you can...
[01:30] <angela-> gthat`s right KBentley57  and i am v=capeble to uninstal it in windows
[01:30] <KBentley57> angela-, so you have installed it, and are trying to remove it?
[01:30] <RiXtEr> birarda, I am running 12.10 64bit on my chromebook :) runs pretty smooth also... I get about 8-9 hours battery life on it :)
[01:31] <meomic> hi, i just want to ask if anyone got working some android device with adb under ubuntu 12.10?  my was working nicely with 12.04 but then ive upgraded and it stopped  syslog shows something but not sure exactly what (how to fix)
[01:31] <angela-> no KBentley57
[01:31] <vfw>  birarda  I don't know about chromebox, but must be some sort ofa stripped down version of Ubuntu.  Right?
[01:32] <angela-> i try to inastall my network printer that dont will work
[01:32] <vfw> birarda: Chromebook?
[01:32] <RiXtEr> meomic, I'd bet there are some udev rules you need to fix, but I haven't had time to play with it myself yet, surely someone has fixed it up and posted it somewhere (google it)
[01:33] <KBentley57> angela-, which is your native language?  I'm afraid I'm having a hard time comprehending your problem.
[01:33] <RiXtEr> vfw, no its full blown, and chromebox is hooked to a TV
[01:33] <RiXtEr> vfw, much like a media device.
[01:33] <angela-> duchs KBentley57
[01:33] <meomic> RiXtEr: udev rules ive handled - it was working in 12.04 - udev rules are same - i can see the device but it is kicked out after few secs by system and again auto reconnected (loop)
[01:34] <angela-> but thar is bobody arout nou this time off night
[01:34] <vfw> RiXtEr: Tnx info.  First I heard of chromebox.  Learning.....
[01:34] <jgautier>  I have mythbuntu up and running watching live TV with sound great through my GT 430 sound card.  However when I try to get zsnes or snes9x to play the video works fine but there no audio...any ideas?
[01:34] <KBentley57> angela-, I understand.  Perhaps it would be best to type in duchs and let me use google translator
[01:34] <RiXtEr> vfw, it was released back in July if I remember right, so I am betting something should be running stable on it.
[01:35] <angela-> ok
[01:35] <KBentley57> angela-, no offense :)
[01:37] <birarda> like a chrome book, but a desktop box
[01:37] <birarda> vfw: looks like a mac mini
[01:38] <ULO-Plio> Is there a way to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 (on the same drive), but without a shared file system?
[01:38] <RiXtEr> ULO-Plio, yes
[01:38] <ULO-Plio> RiXtEr, how? I don't want to reformat my drive or anything :S
[01:38] <wilee-nilee> ULO-Plio, What is your definition of shared file system?
[01:38] <KBentley57> ULO-Plio, it's very easy to do.  download the iso, burn it to a cd, pop it in and go
[01:39] <KBentley57> ULO-Plio, it will ask you to resize your windows partition to make room for the ubuntu installation
[01:39] <ULO-Plio> wilee-nilee, I can actually access my C drive through Ubuntu (which I don't want to be able to do)
[01:39] <RiXtEr> ULO-Plio, you just need to re-partition your drive so ubuntu has some native linux filesystem to run on
[01:39] <RiXtEr> ULO-Plio, which ubuntu will take care of for you during install.
[01:39] <angela-> no prob KBentley57
[01:40] <wilee-nilee> ULO-Plio, I thought there was more to this so you want the windows partition hidden?
[01:40] <KBentley57> ULO-Plio, then remove the ntfs module, or unmount the windows partition
[01:40] <RiXtEr> ULO-Plio, but if  you have sensative data on your drive please be sure to back it up
[01:41] <ULO-Plio> KBentley57, yeah I can unmount it, but is there a way so that I have absolutely no access to it through Ubuntu? I want to keep the two completely separate.
[01:41] <KBentley57> ULO-Plio, do you only not want access to the windows partition, or do you want to keep it from mounting ANY ntfs filesystem?
[01:42] <ULO-Plio> KBentley57, just the Windows partition
[01:43] <KBentley57> have you ever opened fstab?
[01:43] <vfw> birarda: Interesting.... Learning....
[01:43] <KBentley57> ULO-Plio, do you care to post some output into pastebin if I give you instructions?
[01:44] <ULO-Plio> I haven't installed Ubuntu yet. I've had this "problem" with 12.04, so I simply deleted the whole Ubuntu partition and went straight with Windows 7
[01:44] <KBentley57> Oh, that's too bad, it simply requires editing a single text file.
[01:44] <ULO-Plio> Ahhh :(
[01:45] <KBentley57> ULO-Plio, I've been there, don't sweat it :).
[01:45] <wilee-nilee> ULO-Plio, You can have a password needed to open any partition that may be your best bet. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9207234&postcount=4
[01:45] <KBentley57> It would be simpler for him to just comment out the line in fstab if it is there after the installation
[01:46] <ULO-Plio> Thanks everyone :) I may just buy a cheap HDD and install Ubuntu on there
[01:46] <ULO-Plio> maybe that way, I won't have this problem
[01:47] <KBentley57> ULO-Plio, it doesn't require that much work to keep them separate.  I wouldn't buy another hard drive for only that purpose, unless you just want to of course
[01:47] <ULO-Plio> I guess it's safer to just do that
[01:47] <ULO-Plio> than always deleting the Ubuntu partition and reinstalling it (or other distros) on the same drive
[01:48] <wilee-nilee> ULO-Plio, A second HD will leave you with the same setup unless you unplug the one with windows.
[01:48] <^Mike> Why is /var/run a symlink to /run? I don't recall there being a run directory in the filesystem root O_o
[01:48] <ULO-Plio> wilee-nilee, for real?  Gaaahhh
[01:48] <KBentley57> wilee-nilee, is correct.  There is not practical difference between having two hard drives with a single partiton each, vs two partitions on a single drive
[01:49] <KBentley57> it's all about the partitions as opposed to the number of drives in the system
[01:49] <wilee-nilee> ULO-Plio, As it is windows is just a file in the left panel in nautilus, unless we are talking about a wubi install. Was you last 12.04 installed from windows?
[01:49] <KBentley57> If it helps, I would stop thinking of the drives as being anything more than a container that partitions reside in
[01:50] <ULO-Plio> wilee-nilee, nah, I did it through a live USB.
[01:51] <angela-> btw KBentley57  wubi is for my a tryout
[01:51] <ULO-Plio> KBentley57, yeah I know. I just want Ubuntu to not recognize the WIndows partition, because the drive is always mounted when I start Ubuntu. Ideally, I want Ubuntu to work with only its own partition
[01:52] <wilee-nilee> ULO-Plio, Windows would not be mounted unless fstab had a mount for it.
[01:52] <KBentley57> that is what I was saying, all he needs to do is remove the fstab entry
[01:52] <ULO-Plio> Hmm
[01:52] <KBentley57> angela-, I understand.  Which part of the wubi is giving you troubles
[01:53] <ULO-Plio> Okay, I'll give it a whirl. What should I do with fstab?
[01:53] <ULO-Plio> :)
[01:53] <KBentley57> ULO-Plio, fstab is a file that tells ubuntu to mount certain partitions on bootup
[01:53] <KBentley57> ULO-Plio, if there is an entry for the partition that windows resides on, ubuntu will mount it automatically
[01:53] <angela-> is no prob KBentley57  i am able to print scan  in windows so its nop prob
[01:54] <ULO-Plio> KBently57, ohhhhh.
[01:54] <KBentley57> ULO-Plio, you would have to remove, or comment out this entry.  t's not hard
[01:54] <KBentley57> ULO-Plio, but if you remove the wrong thing it can have disasterous results :)
[01:54] <ULO-Plio> O__O
[01:54] <ULO-Plio> :S
[01:55] <KBentley57> ULO-Plio, why don't you reinstall it and come back, and we'll help you through it.  worst that can happen is you botch a clean ubuntu install with nothing in it.  There is no danger to the windows partition
[01:56] <ULO-Plio> KBentley57, Alrighty, thanks for the help :)
[01:56] <Toph2> is there a 'Transmission BitTorrent Client' channel around, or can i pose a question here
[01:56] <Toph2> ?
[01:57] <KBentley57> Toph2, go for it
[01:57] <Toph2> ok
[01:58] <Toph2> I want to store my downloads on a differnt drive/partition. I can't find a setting in Transmission to do this
[01:58] <KBentley57> Toph2, would you like a suggestion?
[01:59] <Toph2> KBentley57,,, indeed
[01:59] <angela-> KBentley57,  if i disydet to install ubuntu 10.12 next to windows one dvd ore cd than i`m even to eble to do finks that dont work in ubuntu to do it in windows'
[02:00] <somsip> Toph2: Edit, Preferences, Downloading tab
[02:01] <KBentley57> Toph2, use a different torrent client.  Transmission is limited in what it can, and cannot do.  qbittorent and deluge are much more functional.  However, here is a post that looks like it addresses your question:
[02:01] <lupo> I have a postgresql installed but don't know which, so I can't remove it with apt-get, how can I find all the packages related to postgre installed in my system?
[02:01] <KBentley57> Toph2, https://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9073
[02:01] <Toph2> somsip,,, I find none of that on my client
[02:01] <Toph2> KBentley57,,, thanks
[02:01] <somsip> Toph2: You're using the GUI or the server? You have a toolbar?
[02:01] <overdub> have a broken package with apt-get: 1 not fully installed or removed. Errors were encountered while processing: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[02:02] <Toph2> somsip,,, just the GUI
[02:02] <Toph2> no toolbar
[02:02] <overdub> the package is gpsmanshp
[02:02] <KBentley57> overclucker, have you tried sudo apt-get install -f?
[02:02] <overdub> can't seem to fix it, install it properly, or uninstall it
[02:02] <overdub> anyone know how to fix this?
[02:03] <somsip> Toph2: this is transmission-gtk?
[02:03] <overdub> KBentley57, i was reluctant to use -f, maybe it might work
[02:04] <overdub> don't want to bork this install and the apt-get man page says this is to be used with extreme caution
[02:04] <KBentley57> overdub, the -f stands for "fix broken packages"
[02:04] <overdub> thought there might be a safer way to fix it
[02:04] <overdub> ah, well then, probably what I want, i'll go try it
[02:05] <KBentley57> overdub, ok, report back when you're finished
[02:05] <overdub> will do
[02:06] <overdub> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) -- didn't work
[02:06] <Toph2> somsip,,, i'm not sure,, it has no options other than speeds
[02:07] <KBentley57> overdub, try to purge the package, then run -f, then install again
[02:07] <overdub> where to "purge" the package?
[02:07] <KBentley57> overdub, sudo apt-get purge gpsmanshp
[02:07] <angela-> one questhen left vpn is that for foon configurarion?
[02:07] <KBentley57> it basically removes the package and any config files that still exist
[02:08] <yeehi> Hello! I have downloaded the beautiful ubuntu fonts here: http://font.ubuntu.com/ How do I now install them? I think there is more to it than just copying them into a folder. (Also, which folder?!)
[02:08] <overdub> KBentley57, subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
[02:08] <overdub> didn't work
[02:08] <somsip> yeehi: copy to /usr/share/fonts
[02:08] <KBentley57> hmm, you could always install synaptic, it's a package manager that is good about fixing things like this.
[02:09] <yeehi> they downloaded as a zip file - do i have to unpack, somsip?
[02:09] <somsip> Toph2: How do you access those. Do you go through a Preferences menu
[02:09] <overdub> i have it install and tried to use that to fix the issue
[02:09] <somsip> yeehi: yes
[02:09] <KBentley57> overdub, already?
[02:09] <overdub> maybe I didn't poke around enough in synaptic
[02:09] <overdub> I tried that a while ago
[02:10] <kaushal> hi
[02:10] <KBentley57> there is a fix broken packages option in synaptic, i just used it myself today
[02:10] <overdub> I'll try that again and report back
[02:10] <KBentley57> overdub, it's under custom filters on the bottom left
[02:10] <mats> what is the cat function?
[02:11] <Toph2> somsip,,, one options setting in the lower right corner and all it gives is transfer speed settings
[02:11] <KBentley57> cat is usually used to display text on the screen mats
[02:11] <yeehi> there are lots of folders inside /usr/share/fonts somsip - cmap, opentype, truetype, type1 x11 - which one?
[02:11] <yeehi> somsip?
[02:11] <overdub> KBentley57, okay, thanks back in a bit to report if it worked or not
[02:11] <KBentley57> overdub, then click on broken just under all
[02:11] <KBentley57> ok,
[02:11] <somsip> yeehi: the one that matches the font you download - usually ttf (true type) or otf (open type)
[02:12] <ruben231> hi guys any have successfully install twinkle softphone with ubuntu 12.10----> any idea guys..?
[02:12] <ruben231> or what you can suggest
[02:12] <somsip> Toph2: is there any menu at all?
[02:13] <Toph2> somsip,,, there is a properties option on the one menu bar it has on top but that is just for a selected torrent
[02:13] <KBentley57> ruben231, are you trying to install it, or just asking our opinion of it?
[02:13] <mats> when i do "sudo cat misc/rc.local > /etc/rc.local" i get "-bash: /etc/rc.local: permission denied??? please help
[02:13] <somsip> mats: use tee
[02:13] <ruben231> KBentley57: im trying to install twinkle with this- apt-get install twinkle but it wont -unable to locate twinkle
[02:14] <mats> use tee? how ?
[02:14] <Toph2> somsip,,, just a to menu bar with 'open, run arrow, pause, -, and properties for the selected torrent'
[02:14] <KBentley57> ruben231, that is because it's probably not in the repositorys, I just checked
[02:14] <overdub> KBentley57, having trouble getting synaptic to start with root privileges
[02:14] <KBentley57> overdub, did you run "sudo synaptic" from the terminal?
[02:14] <ruben231> KBentley57:how do i add it up, can you help
[02:15] <overdub> yup, it says Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
[02:15] <KBentley57> ruben231, you will have to manually install it, here is their download page:  http://www.twinklephone.com/
[02:15] <overdub> i'm using KDE
[02:15] <KBentley57> overdub, Oh, well, there is your problem... ;)
[02:15] <mats> when i do "sudo cat misc/rc.local > /etc/rc.local" i get "-bash: /etc/rc.local: permission denied"??? please help
[02:15] <somsip> mats: like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/82256/how-do-i-use-sudo-to-redirect-output-to-a-location-i-dont-have-permission-to-wr (under 'use sudo tee')
[02:15] <wilee-nilee> !twinkle
[02:15] <ruben231>  KBentley57: how to manually install..? just download then install..? tahts all..?
[02:15] <overdub> so i did alt-F2 and it only starts in non root privilege
[02:15] <mats> somsip: TY
[02:15] <overdub> KB - LOL
[02:16] <wilee-nilee> overdub, You in a admin account?
[02:16] <KBentley57> overdub, so running it from the terminal, with sudo, doesn't give you sudo priv?
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> can anyone please explain web apps please. I have some installed but they appear to do nothing
[02:16] <somsip> Toph2: sorry, but you seem to be using a front end that is very different from mone. I'm not sure why
[02:16] <ruben231> wilee-nilee: you have any idea..?
[02:16] <overdub> wilee-nilee, not a good plan to run a whole desktop with root privileges
[02:17] <wilee-nilee> ruben231, Not really.
[02:17] <overdub> KBentley57, it can't open the display
[02:17] <overdub> i thought I could get root after opening synaptic
[02:17] <wilee-nilee> overdub, Admin in ubuntu is sudo access you misunderstand
[02:17] <ruben231>  KBentley57: how to install manually..?
[02:17] <KBentley57> ruben, are you at the download page?
[02:17] <bazhang> sflphone-gnome  <---- use this instead ruben231 twinkle is not there in Quantal 12.10
[02:17] <dormito> Im running Ubuntu 12.10. I set a custom keyboard shurtcut Super+E to launch nautilus (because Im so used to that short cut in windows) when I set the shortcut it worked, but after rebooting it no longer launches nautils. I went back into the shortcut settings and tickered around, and it started working again evetually (I just deleted the entery and recreated the exact same... and maybe re assined it to the same keystroke, so no net change) and
[02:17] <dormito> it eventually started working. however I have rebooted again, and it does not launch nautilus again a perminent solution would be nice.
[02:18] <ruben231> bazhang: is install default already..? is it SIP..?
[02:18] <KBentley57> overdub, do you havg muon ? as the pacage manager?
[02:18] <overdub> even doing alt-F2 and then typing sudo synaptic does not work
[02:18] <bazhang> ruben231, it's a softphone. install it
[02:18] <overdub> KBentley57, never heard of that, is it a GUI or command line?
[02:19] <bazhang> KBentley57, muon is for Kubuntu
[02:19] <wilee-nilee> overdub, Are you in the account that was made when you installed?
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> well, you can use kde apps in gnome if you want :)
[02:19] <KBentley57> is KDE + Ubuntu = kubuntu?
[02:19] <ruben231> bazhang: is it on the repo i just apt-get istall it..?
[02:19] <KBentley57> ruben, yes
[02:19] <bazhang> ruben231, yes
[02:20] <overdub> wilee-nilee, yes, and last time I tried to open synaptic it asked for the password and opened with root
[02:20] <Toph2> somsip,,, strange   It is the only one that comes up in Ubuntu Softwear Centre
[02:20] <KBentley57> overdub, I'm perplexed.  sudo should be able to do anything..lol
[02:20] <bazhang> wilee-nilee, gksudo synaptic you mean
[02:20] <overdub> KBentley57, except apparently open a GUI app
[02:20] <somsip> Toph2: maybe, but I don't use that
[02:20] <overdub> KBentley57, i'm installing muon
[02:21] <mats> somsip: sudo tee didnt work
[02:21] <wilee-nilee> bazhang, hehe I didn't give any command. ;)
[02:21] <mats> when i do "sudo cat misc/rc.local > /etc/rc.local" i get "-bash: /etc/rc.local: permission denied"??? please help
[02:21] <KBentley57> overdub, can you post the output if "id"
[02:21] <overclucker> overdub: are you trying to run synaptic from a tty?
[02:21] <overdub> overclucker, yeah
[02:21] <KBentley57> ahh, nice call
[02:22] <KBentley57> you can't run synaptic - the gui - unless X is running.
[02:22] <overclucker> overdub: you could try with xinit, like xinit /usr/sbin/synaptic -- :0
[02:22] <somsip> mats: so could you  sudo cp misc/rc.local /etc/rc.local?
[02:22] <overdub> X is running, but I was trying to open synaptic from Konsole
[02:22] <overdub> some misunderstanding here
[02:22] <overdub> i'm trying
[02:22] <overclucker> overdub: but if you're already running an x session try :1
[02:23] <KBentley57> overdub, sorry, I think I misunderstood.  I thought you were saying that you were running it from a session where X wasn't started
[02:23] <overclucker> overdub: ah, hmm.
[02:24] <mats> somsip: i love you thanks!
[02:24] <KBentley57> overdub, type "id" into console, and post the output here
[02:24] <somsip> mats: too effusive, but your welcome
[02:25] <overdub> KBentley57, uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
[02:25] <overdub> i'm root in Konsole
[02:25] <overdub> so I shouldn't need the sudo prefix
[02:25] <KBentley57> have you tried not being root, but changing to your regular user, and trying to use sudo instead?
[02:26] <biella> i've just install quantal and sound is not working when youtube videos play in firefox, and chromium says that flash is disabled because it is out of date... does anyone know how I can fix that?
[02:26] <overdub> KBentley57, not yet, i'm on that now . . .
[02:26] <KBentley57> biella, have you tried updating your system yet?
[02:26] <biella> KBentley57, yeah, it says I have no updates right now
[02:26] <overclucker> overdub: yeah, try that. drop to a regular user and run gksu synaptic
[02:26] <overdub> It worked! I'm in synaptic with root privilege
[02:27] <KBentley57> :)
[02:27] <overdub> strange that, but I'm happy it works
[02:27] <KBentley57> overdub, now we can try to solve the real problem..lo
[02:27] <overdub> yeah, let me do the fix broken package thing now, back in a sec
[02:27] <KBentley57> biella, which version of chrome is listed as installed?
[02:28] <biella> KBentley57: chromium-browser 22.0.1229.94~r161065-0ubuntu1
[02:29] <mats> how do u restart from command line
[02:29] <dax> mats: sudo reboot
[02:29] <somsip> mats: sudo reboot
[02:30] <tacomaster> I just finished a book on python and was going to start trying to make gui app's but it seems that gui gtk3 is not supported for pygtk and a few other what is a good gui language for python3 that isnt qt?
[02:30] <dax> tacomaster: http://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
[02:31] <overdub> KBentley57, fix broken packages did nothing, so I tried to "mark for complete removal" and still get error
[02:31] <somsip> tacomaster: http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming has lots of links that might help
[02:31] <tacomaster> dax, somsip, ty so much!!!
[02:31] <KBentley57> overdub, so you marked it for complete removal and it did nothing?
[02:32] <overdub> it returned error: E: gpsmanshp: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[02:32] <KBentley57> well,, there is another way
[02:32] <overdub> do tell
[02:33] <KBentley57> overdub, it basically involves a seek and destroy approach, manually removing each related file.
[02:33] <KBentley57> overdub, first update your database with sudo updatedb
[02:33] <dax> overdub: install the package tcl8.4 and try again. There's a bug in the package gpsmanshp
[02:33] <dax> overdub: doing this before KBentley57's idea is probably best, since it's less destructive
[02:34] <biella> KBentley57, i moved from an amd64 machine to i386, so I needed to purge my .mozilla/plugins directory and now it works
[02:34] <KBentley57> dax, i just seen this
[02:34] <overdub> dax, thanks for the safer suggestion. i suspected a bug in the package
[02:34] <KBentley57> biella, nice find!  I'm glad you found it
[02:35] <dax> overdub: you're welcome. let me know whether it works; if not, we can continue with KBentley57's idea :)
[02:35] <biella> KBentley57: thought you might want to know for future people!
[02:35] <KBentley57> biella, I do, and I will keep it in mind
[02:36] <k4m3h4t3> somebody help
[02:37] <k4m3h4t3> i have problem like this http://pastebin.com/1D4PmE0E
[02:38] <bazhang> k4m3h4t3, whats the problem
[02:38] <KBentley57> k4m3h4t3, did you try to add a repository?
[02:38] <dax> !gpgerr | k4m3h4t3
[02:39] <k4m3h4t3> ubottu : where i get the key
[02:39] <dax> k4m3h4t3: it's D53AE39309257C1B
[02:40] <k4m3h4t3> dax : where i get the key
[02:40] <dax> k4m3h4t3: so you'd do sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com D53AE39309257C1B
[02:40] <dax> which will download that key and give it to apt-get, so future package list updates will work
[02:40] <dax> s/apt-get/APT/
[02:40] <overdub> dax KBentley57 : it's fixed! the installing tcl8.4 has fixed the issue
[02:41] <k4m3h4t3> dax : mean, in terminal i must type like this  >>> sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com D53AE39309257C1B
[02:41] <dax> overdub: excellent :)
[02:41] <dax> k4m3h4t3: yes
[02:41] <k4m3h4t3> i will try
[02:41] <KBentley57> overdub, dax, nice work!
[02:41] <overdub> thanks guys, I"m a happy camper :)
[02:41] <KBentley57> I would have gotten all of it, along with a little bit of /, and possibly /usr ;)
[02:41] <chadams> first time rebooting ubuntu, right after I installed ATI drivers -- I get a pink screen, doesn't boot past that
[02:42] <biella> libreoffice auto spell checking isn't working, do i need a special package?
[02:42] <k4m3h4t3> dax : i was type. and then what must i do? sudo apt-get update?
[02:42] <dax> k4m3h4t3: sudo apt-get update
[02:42] <KBentley57> chadams, did you install them from ubuntu, or from the support.amd.com website
[02:42] <dax> k4m3h4t3: it should run without giving you the error this time
[02:42] <KBentley57> biella, I believe you do.
[02:42] <chadams> KBentley57: from the ubuntu software center
[02:42] <dax> biella: for English, or another language?
[02:42] <k4m3h4t3> i will try
[02:43] <biella> dax: english
[02:43] <chadams> 12.10
[02:43] <KBentley57> biella, is this similar to what you are talking about?
[02:43] <KBentley57> biella, http://askubuntu.com/questions/203727/libreoffice-spell-checker-doesnt-work
[02:43] <chadams> My card is a Radeon HD 6670
[02:43] <KBentley57> chadams, it gets to the purple screen, and does nothing else, or is it really "pink"?
[02:44] <TheJelly> Hello
[02:44] <chadams> purple, sorry
[02:44] <vfw> chadams: Ctrl-Alt-F6 ; mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak
[02:44] <KBentley57> he probably cant get there yet
[02:44] <R3d-S0u|> problem with xorg uh?
[02:44] <R3d-S0u|> always the same..
[02:44] <R3d-S0u|> :)
[02:44] <KBentley57> chadams, can you press shift while the pc is booting, and get the grub boot loader, and use the recovery mode?
[02:45] <TheJelly> How do I convert ima/img files to iso, or at least use them in virtual box (installing windows 95)?
[02:45] <k4m3h4t3> dax : thanks. problem resolve
[02:45] <chadams> I'll try
[02:45] <dax> k4m3h4t3: you're welcome :)
[02:45] <chadams> lucky I've got a laptop too
[02:45] <KBentley57> chadams, after that, we'll boot normally and get to a tty login
[02:45] <chadams> no problems with ubuntu on this, besides been a little slow
[02:45] <biella> KBentley57: that was it! I had chosen English (Canada) but there is no dictionary for that, it seems
[02:46] <k4m3h4t3> dax : but next time it's gone be ok?
[02:46] <dax> TheJelly: you can convert them to a .vdi (Virtualbox Disk Image) with VBoxManage convertdd file.img file.vdi, per http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/convert-usb-boot-image-img-to-virtual.html
[02:46] <chadams> ok, so advanced options for ubuntu?
[02:46] <KBentley57> biella, cool!  which one worked?
[02:46] <KBentley57> chadams, yes
[02:46] <chadams> recovery mode?
[02:46] <KBentley57> chadams, boot normally
[02:47] <KBentley57> chadams, all it does is prevent the driver from loading this way, you will log into a black terminal like screen
[02:47] <chadams> seeing text on the screen now
[02:47] <KBentley57> chadams, that is normal
[02:47] <chadams> all because I redeemed braid for ubuntu on my humble bundle
[02:47] <chadams> graphics were slow and somehow clipped, so I tried installing ATI drivers
[02:47] <KBentley57> chadams, how long did you wait for the purple screen to go away?
[02:48] <chadams> 5-10 minutes
[02:48] <dax> k4m3h4t3: Should be, yes. The error was because that key was missing, and it's now there, so everything should be fine from now on.
[02:48] <KBentley57> chadams, oh, ok.  Are you at the login prompt yet?
[02:48] <chadams> it's still on 'Loading initial ramdisk ...', is this normal?
[02:49] <KBentley57> chadams, yeah, just give it a sec.
[02:49] <sabonis> hi all
[02:49] <KBentley57> chadams, if it takes more than a minute we'll try something else
[02:49] <mats> how can i find out system information via terminal?
[02:50] <dax> mats: any particular information, or just general info?
[02:50] <KBentley57> mats: run sudo lshw for hardware info
[02:50] <mats> cpu uasage
[02:50] <somsip> mats: top
[02:50] <alien2050> on a system with  multi-monitor, is there a way to open a video tutorial in youtube, in fullscreen, on the left, and work on a document on the right ? Whenever I click, the window unmaximizes..... never found a way to do it.... ne1?
[02:50] <dax> mats: top will show that. There's an alternative program named "htop" that's similar and may be easier to use.
[02:50] <chadams> still on the ramdisk part
[02:50] <somsip> dax mats: tis truth you speak
[02:51] <KBentley57> chadams, lets try something else, that clearly isn't doing anything.  reboot and go back to grub, and advanced options
[02:51] <vfw> KBentley57: He can probably just boot normally and switch to tty6
[02:52] <KBentley57> vfw, if fglrx hangs it wont let you into a tty, or at least it hasn't ever for me
[02:52] <chadams> control alt delete didn't work to reboot this time
[02:52] <KBentley57> hard reboot if necessary
[02:52] <chadams> had to press the power button and wait
[02:52] <mats> thanks guys
[02:52] <vfw> KBentley57: Ok.
[02:53] <chadams> recovery mode is working
[02:53] <alien2050> cool i found it nevermind
[02:53] <chadams> now I'm at the Recovery Menu
[02:53] <chadams> failsafeX?
[02:54] <KBentley57> chadams, not yet
[02:54] <KBentley57> chadams, well, yes, we can do that first.  go ahead and try it
[02:55] <chadams> it's doing fsck
[02:55] <KBentley57> chadams, ok, it'll be over in a moment
[02:56] <delac> upgrading to 12.10 (from 12.04). Got "Could not install 'grub-pc'". Should I do something about it before continuing?
[02:56] <chadams> I hear that using the windows installer like I did, makes the ubuntu vfs vonerable to improper restarts, is this the case?
[02:57] <KBentley57> chadams, I'm not really certain.  I've never used the windows installer.
[02:57] <wilee-nilee> chadams, Basically it is subject to problems with a hard shutdown, it is just a file in windows.
[02:57] <KBentley57> delac, you can try to reconfigure grub
[02:58] <chadams> wilee-nilee, I see
[02:58] <delac> KBentley57: in the middle of installation?
[02:58] <KBentley57> delac, oh, it's still upgrading?
[02:58] <delac> KBentley57: yes
[02:59] <chadams> it's still stuck at /dev/loop0: clean
[02:59] <wilee-nilee> chadams, Here is what the designer of wubi says if its of any help.  http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/
[02:59] <delac> KBentley57: or rather, there is the error dialog open
[02:59] <mianos> does anyone know how to stop chromium preloading under precise?
[02:59] <KBentley57> delac, so it is stuck on that part?
[02:59] <wilee-nilee> mianos, The browser?
[03:00] <mianos> if it is preloaded a new instance connects to the eixsting instance and silently ignors all command line arguments
[03:00] <mianos> yes
[03:00] <delac> KBentley57: not stuck. I just didnt continue. every forum post I find tells me that I'm going to have unbootable system...
[03:00] <mianos> it's obviously not in auto starts
[03:00] <KBentley57> delac, you can always let it go, then manually install grub-pc if you must
[03:00] <wilee-nilee> mianos, Did you look in startup applications?
[03:00] <KBentley57> delac, when it gets to the end
[03:00] <chadams> KBentley57, this appears to be frozen
[03:01] <delac> KBentley57: unfortunately according to those post reinstalling grub wont work...
[03:01] <mianos> wilee-nilee yep not there, it's started by the system and backgrounded as of a few weeks ago
[03:01] <mianos> rob       1421     1  1 13:54 ?        00:00:05   /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser
[03:01] <mianos> rob       1437  1421  0 13:54 ?        00:00:00     /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser
[03:01] <mianos> rob       1729  1421  0 13:55 ?        00:00:00     /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser --type=gpu-process --channel=1421.2.811925285
[03:01] <FloodBot1> mianos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:01] <KBentley57> chadams, so it will not let you into the grub menu?
[03:01] <mianos> sorry mr bot :)
[03:01] <vfw> delac: If it's still doing file system check, be patient.
[03:01] <Mark__> Trying to get wifi working on 12.10 on my mbp retina anyone have any idea what driver I need?
[03:01] <mianos> there are a few recent questions posted
[03:01] <mianos> none answered
[03:01] <KBentley57> delac, have you updated everything before trying the dist-upgrade?
[03:02] <wilee-nilee> mianos, Not sure really,  but chromium is not getting updates as of now I believe.
[03:02] <KBentley57> Mark__, what is the output of lspci?
[03:02] <R3d-S0u|> ullallà
[03:02] <delac> KBentley57: yeah, I did
[03:02] <chadams> last thing it shows is "/dev/loop0: clean, x/y files. z/w blocks
[03:02] <vfw> mianos: What is YOUR question?
[03:03] <KBentley57> delac, can you try to pre-install the grub-pc package, then run the upgrade?
[03:03] <chadams> after going to failsafeX from the recovery menu
[03:03] <mianos> vfw, chrome is started in the background when I log into xcfe
[03:03] <mianos> it's not in .config/autostart
[03:03] <Mark__> Broadcom BCM 4331
[03:03] <mianos> it is starting a chain of chrome instances for the renderrer and zygot etc etc
[03:04] <delac> KBentley57: I'm still in the middle of the upgrade, so I'm not sure if something like that would even work. oh well, I'm going to let it go and try to fix it afterwards :)
[03:04] <wilee-nilee> delac, This a other then msdos partitioning setup?
[03:04] <mianos> when I run a new instance from xterm "Created new window in existing browser session."
[03:04] <chadams> so I'm guessing i should reboot again and try something else
[03:04] <KBentley57> Mark__, have you tried running "ubuntu-drivers list" and see if anything pops up
[03:04] <mianos> then it silently ignors my command line argument
[03:05] <KBentley57> delac, yeah, let it go.  when it's done, perhaps we can check the logs to see what is good
[03:05] <mianos> http://askubuntu.com/questions/125357/chrome-puts-itself-on-startup-applications
[03:05] <delac> wilee-nilee: msdos partitioning? no, there is only ubuntu in this machine with default partitioning
[03:05] <mianos> http://askubuntu.com/questions/158216/how-to-make-google-chrome-not-start-as-service
[03:05] <vfw> mianos: The default bahaviour for xfce is to reload last session.  If you reboot telling it to reload last session after closing everything, and then reboot again telling it to save last session, and then reboot again telling it not to save last session, you'll be good to go, (from then on, it will load an empty session).
[03:05] <wilee-nilee> delac, No gpt uefi are you sure?
[03:05] <bazhang> mianos, dont repeat every five seconds
[03:05] <Mark__> The would be the issue KBentley57 there's no drivers
[03:06] <Mark__> How do I add it?
[03:06] <chadams> KBentley57: I rebooted again and I'm back at the Recovery Menu. What should I try this time?
[03:06] <wilee-nilee> !broadcom | Mark__
[03:06] <KBentley57> chadams, did we try the failsafe x?
[03:06] <chadams> yeah, it hung
[03:06] <chadams> I had to reboot
[03:07] <KBentley57> chadams, ok, drop to root terminal
[03:07] <mianos> in sessions and startup there is a button "save session on logout", not clicked
[03:07] <chadams> in
[03:07] <mianos> the second item I pasted is not answered
[03:07] <bazhang> !enter | mianos
[03:07] <KBentley57> chadams, we'll try to remove the amd drivers so that you can get back to a normal desktop, does that sound like what you are wanting to do?  we can then try to reinstall them
[03:07] <delac> wilee-nilee: unless ubuntu sets that up by itself, then no
[03:08] <chadams> KBentley57: yeah, that sounds good
[03:08] <KBentley57> chadams, we will purge the amd drivers by running "sudo apt-get purge fglrx fglrx-dev fglrx-amdcccle"
[03:08] <KBentley57> without quotes of course
[03:09] <chadams> unable to write to /var/cache/apt
[03:09] <KBentley57> chadams, was there any other output?
[03:10] <chadams> W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[03:10] <chadams> then the /var/cache/apt error
[03:10] <chadams> then E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[03:11] <KBentley57> chadams, when you run "ls", do you see a bunch of directories?  I'm trying to see if the root folder is mounted
[03:11] <chadams> if I do ls by itself I get nothing
[03:11] <chadams> ls / shows everything though
[03:12] <mianos> ok, let me change my question so something that is suitable for a reply, chromium is not in any of my .config autostart files, my session is not marked to be saved on logout, when I start chrome, so I can use the remote debugging port I need to pass it a new command line, because something new is pre starting chromium when I start it it will attach to the existing session. I cant find what is loading it as it is forked and unattached, giviin
[03:12] <mianos> g it a parent Id of 1. This behaviour seems to be new. Has anyone heard of this?
[03:12] <KBentley57> chadams, can you change to your normal user, with su "username"?
[03:13] <chadams> KBentley57: I get the same errors logged in as my self running the apt-get purge command
[03:13] <KBentley57> can you cd to /usr/share/ati?
[03:14] <chadams> I'm getting errors about a read only file system when I hit tab to autocomplete while typing in the cd command
[03:14] <KBentley57> chadams, ok, we need to mount the root filesystem
[03:15] <KBentley57> chadams, type exit and you should return to the options meny
[03:15] <KBentley57> menu
[03:15] <chadams> I was able to cd to the folder without using autocomplete though
[03:15] <KBentley57> chadams, yeah, but we won't be able to remove the packages unless we have write access
[03:16] <chadams> back in the Recovery menu now
[03:16] <KBentley57> chadams, is there an option to mount filesystems ?
[03:16] <chadams> no
[03:16] <seeqwell> lol @ everyone and their 12.10
[03:16] <KBentley57> chadams, ok, go back to root terminal, and run mount -a
[03:16] <chadams> done
[03:17] <KBentley57> chadams, now see if you can run the sudo apt-get purge command
[03:17] <chadams> same errors
[03:18] <KBentley57> can you cd to any dir with the tab auto completing?
[03:18] <chadams> yeah
[03:18] <KBentley57> what error is it again?
[03:19] <chadams> W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[03:19] <chadams> E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt
[03:19] <chadams> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[03:20] <Deihmos> ubuntu seem to suck on my HP laptop. Fan is crazy and sound does not work properly
[03:20] <KBentley57> can you do a sudo apt-get -f
[03:21] <chadams> did that
[03:21] <chadams> apt <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu5
[03:21] <KBentley57> chadams, now, how about apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, just to see if they throw any errors
[03:22] <mike44> I have a supported printer by gutenprint but i cant figure out how to install it correctly, does anyone have an idea?
[03:23] <chadams> sudo apt-get upgrade produces the same errors as apt-get purge
[03:23] <Deihmos> is there a way to solve loud fan noise?
[03:23] <chadams> apt-get update the same errors, plus a lot of downloading errors
[03:24] <almoxarife> chadams: have you tried deleting the 'lock' file mentioned?
[03:24] <KBentley57> chadams, i wonder if networking is enabled.  can you ping google?
[03:24] <blackshirt> chadams, maybe you need more detail
[03:24] <chadams> read only file system when trying to delete the lock file
[03:25] <chadams> unknown host www.google.ca
[03:25] <almoxarife> chadams: have you rebooted since seeing the Read/only error?
[03:25] <seeqwell> sudo apt-get -f install
[03:25] <seeqwell> you forgot the install
[03:25] <blackshirt> chadams, like your connections problem
[03:26] <chadams> almoxarife, blackshirt: KBentley57 has been helping me
[03:26] <seeqwell> everyone is going back to debian
[03:27] <almoxarife> chadams: i didn't ask who was helping you, i asked if you had rebooted since the RO error, it's a yes or no question!
[03:27] <mike44> Anyone familiar with gutenprint here?
[03:27] <chadams> almoxarife, no
[03:28] <chadams> I did a mount -a
[03:29] <blackshirt> seeqwell, no matter, debian was greats
[03:31] <saruthiko> Is it possible to install a wireless driver in ndiswrapper that only comes as an .exe?
[03:32] <blackshirt> chadams, you can't ping google, check your internet connections
[03:32] <chadams> i'm rebooting again
[03:33] <almoxarife> saruthiko: maybe not, ndis uses the ini file, the exe is a self-exec-zip?
[03:33] <blackshirt> inf
[03:34] <chadams> blackshirt, there didn't seem to be a start-network, or network-start command
[03:34] <chadams> i thought I recalled that existing
[03:34] <almoxarife> blackshirt: right, inf
[03:34] <blackshirt> chadams, what you mean ?
[03:34] <saruthiko> almoxarife: I don't know.  All I know is that the only available download is an .exe and it cannot be opened in archive manager.
[03:35] <chadams> one version of linux i used had such a command, internet worked after i typed it
[03:35] <chadams> from the console
[03:35] <chadams> might have been linux mint
[03:36] <almoxarife> saruthiko: there is 'wine'
[03:36] <chadams> that or knoppix
[03:36] <blackshirt> chadams, what type connection you are using ? Lan ? Usb modem ?
[03:36] <chadams> lan
[03:37] <saruthiko> almoxarife: would wine work for something like installing a driver?..  I didn't understand it to be used for that kind of thing.
[03:37] <almoxarife> chadams: lets assume you don't have a crippled system, what is the aversion to a reboot? is it a server doing the queens works?
[03:38] <chadams> I just rebooted
[03:38] <chadams> to the recovery menu, then to the root shell
[03:38] <almoxarife> saruthiko: wine wouldn't work for installing the driver into linux, but it would open the exe assuming it's a self-extracting thing
[03:39] <saruthiko> almoxarife: ah, good point! i'll try that.
[03:39] <almoxarife> saruthiko: this is why a copy of xp via vbox is always a good thing to keep around :)
[03:40] <blackshirt> chadams, commonly if you using dhcp for your connections, use dhclient would bring you to up
[03:42] <chadams> dhclient lan0?
[03:42] <blackshirt> chadams, dhclient eth0,
[03:43] <blackshirt> its depends your lan card interfaces
[03:43] <chadams> seems like it can't start because of a read only file system
[03:43] <chadams> same issue I had before
[03:43] <chadams> with trying to get my graphics drivers uninstalled and reinstalled
[03:43] <blackshirt> chadams, that maybe you have a problems with youur disk/partition...
[03:43] <chadams> I'm on my laptop talking here, and trying to fix my desktop's ubuntu installation
[03:44] <chadams> blackshirt, that would make sense
[03:44] <almoxarife> chadams: time to look at the prob being a crippled ext4 file sys
[03:44] <chadams> I booted to the Recovery menu, then went to the root console
[03:45] <chadams> luckily this is through the wubi
[03:45] <chadams> so reinstalling if needed won't be hard
[03:45] <chadams> i'll just loose all the setup I did over the last day and a half
[03:45] <almoxarife> chadams: yes, re-install
[03:46] <almoxarife> the issues you are having are not worth the time
[03:46] <chadams> *sigh*, if I install it using usb or cd, will it be less likely to corrupt?
[03:46] <chadams> i.e. creating an actual partition and such
[03:46] <blackshirt> chadams, fsck your disk
[03:46] <eli___> hello, could you help me please? my system returned 'No entry for terminal type "xterm";
[03:46] <eli___> using dumb terminal settings.' when i started psql. what can i do searching? would you teach me?
[03:47] <eli___>
[03:47] <chadams> blackshirt, fsck'ing
[03:48] <almoxarife> chadams: a wubi install does all the disk creating, if you are wanting to do actual disk creation then get 'gparted' free up disk space and do an actual install, yes you will lose MBR, so what, you got grub
[03:50] <chadams> I ordered some 12.10 cds anyway
[03:50] <somsip> eli___: possibly you need ncurses-term to be installed. What shell are you using?
[03:51] <eli___> somsip: bash
[03:51] <somsip> eli___: I used to have the same thing with urxvt256, and installing ncurses-term fixed it. Are you on a standard install?
[03:52] <eli___> yes
[03:52] <gurjeet> I need kinda urgent help. I was messing around, trying to install nvidia drivers; instructions from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual. That didn't work out so I reverted every step.
[03:52] <eli___> ah i don't know what about installed. i checked
[03:52] <eli___> DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
[03:52] <eli___> DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
[03:52] <chadams> blackshirt, fsck seems to be hung

[03:52] <eli___> DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS"
[03:53] <somsip> eli___: I'd suggest installing ncurses-term to see if that's an easy fix. Simple to remove if it's not
[03:53] <gurjeet> But now I can login into the gnome but after the login, I don't get the Unity launcher, statusbar etc. Strangely the commands in 'Startup Applications' do get executed and I can see my applications launched.
[03:55] <gurjeet> I can see the icon on desktop, can open applications like terminal, and launch more applications from there. But I am missing the Unity panel, and the status bar!
[03:55] <chadams> looks like I'll need to reinstall, when installing drivers for my radeon next time, should i get them from the amd site or from the ubuntu software center?
[03:55] <blackshirt> chadams, looks bad
[03:56] <chadams> blackshirt, alright, i'll boot into win7 then
[03:57] <chadams> uninstall, and then I'll try it again when I get the dvds
[03:57] <chadams> still have ubuntu 12.10 running on my laptop
[03:57] <chadams> much better than win8
[03:58] <epikvision> chadams, that's right!
[03:58] <chadams> win8 feels horrible
[03:58] <chadams> everything feels glitchy about the interface
[03:58] <chadams> poorly designed, even
[03:58] <chadams> hard to use
[03:58] <chadams> laptop graphics drivers don't work
[03:59] <somsip> chadams: we get the idea...OT
[04:00] <Captain_Claw> Anyone using gnome-shell on ubuntu precise?
[04:00] <chadams> I'll be using ubuntu to develop the linux version of my game engine, and I'll definately put it up on the ubuntu store
[04:00] <chadams> when the game is finished
[04:03] <sk_> somebody spask chinese
[04:03] <epikvision> Good morning! What are the major shells to learn for Unix development?
[04:04] <zombifier> !cn
[04:05] <zombifier> epikvision: Most of the time Bash is enough
[04:05] <Danon> cool the /time command still works
[04:06] <sk_> thinks
[04:06] <wilee-nilee> epikvision, There is a ##unix chanel if needed
[04:07] <Gerowen> Why does Gimp from the Ubuntu repos only have XCF, Bzip and Gzip as formats to save images in?  I don't have JPG, PNG, BMP or anything.
[04:09] <jafletch> herro
[04:09] <zombifier> Gerowen: You need to "export" an image in order to save it as PNG, GIF, etc.
[04:09] <brandon420> heyy
[04:09] <brandon420> jafletch =)
[04:09] <brandon420> Can someone help me get my external working again? I just added "discard,noatime" to my /etc/fstab for the speed boost that it gives a ssd, and it caused my external hdd to not mount...
[04:09] <Gerowen> zombifier: Yeah I just noticed that while reading the Gimp help file, :p
[04:09] <cluelesscoder> so how do I install software from a ppa? I've trying to install nightinggale http://getnightingale.com/all-versions.php
[04:09] <Gerowen> zombifier: Thanks though!
[04:10] <cluelesscoder> I've gotten the ppa added using sudo add-apt-repository but when I try to install it using sudo apt-get upgrade, it's not installing
[04:10] <zombifier> cluelesscoder: You must do a "sudo apt-get update" first
[04:10] <cluelesscoder> also don't have any idea what name I would use if I installed using sudo apt-get install ... this is the first time I've tried installing with a ppa; usually just use synaptic to mark for installation
[04:10] <cluelesscoder> zombifier, I did do sudo apt-get update...
[04:10] <brandon420> cluelesscoder, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/how-to-add-a-ppa-to-software-sources-in-ubuntu
[04:11] <zombifier> Then open Synaptic
[04:11] <brandon420> cluelesscoder, Then just sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install application-name
[04:11] <cluelesscoder> how would I find the technical application name?
[04:11] <saruthiko> almoxarife: it was a self-extracting zip. :) good call!
[04:11] <brandon420> cluelesscoder, google does wonders. One second and i will search for you.
[04:12] <cluelesscoder> already tried nightinggale, it doesn't work
[04:12] <delac> can anyone explain to me why System Settings -> Details has my gpu details when used from live-usb, but after install they are "unkown"?
[04:12] <cluelesscoder> already been through a few forums and ubuntu pages
[04:12] <brandon420> cluelesscoder, http://handytutorial.com/install-nightingale-ubuntu-12-10-12-04/
[04:12] <brandon420> do it with only one g
[04:12] <brandon420> And thanks for that, i am going to install that now.
[04:13] <brandon420> Can someone help me get my external working again? I just added "discard,noatime" to my /etc/fstab for the speed boost that it gives a ssd, and it caused my external hdd to not mount.
[04:13] <simplew> how can i change lightdm theme so that appears like when the one installed in ubuntu, i have isntalled kubuntu
[04:14] <almoxarife> delac: because some driver/app in the stick is not in the final install?
[04:14] <eli___> hello
[04:14] <cluelesscoder> huh, yeah, sorry that was dumb
[04:14] <brandon420> simplew, Have you tried logging out and choosing it at the login screen?
[04:14] <brandon420> cluelesscoder, we all make mistakes, lol.
[04:15] <zombifier> delac: what is your graphic card?
[04:15] <brandon420> Can anyone help me to get my system to recognize my external hdd?
[04:16] <delac> almoxarife, almoxarife: the gpu is just lousy intel integrated. and what driver that could be?
[04:18] <brandon420> delac, i am curious to know the answer to your question aswell. I have the same problem but i do not notice any graphics issues...
[04:18] <almoxarife> delac: the proof that the gpu is/was good enough was it being seen while running off the live/stick, as to what driver you are missing i am clueless, can you do a side by side comparision? or at least get the logs for xorg while on stick and compare to the installed?
[04:18] <delac> brandon420: neither do I. it's just a very ligh anoyance :)
[04:19] <brandon420> Can someone help me tweak my ssd on 12.10?
[04:20] <kristenbb> hi, I've just installed ubuntu (1) alongside another ubuntu (2), on two different hard drives (A and B). If I boot on A, I have access to (1), and if I boot on B, nothing happens. I want to access (2). How to do that ?
[04:20] <delac> almoxarife: I'm not so sure it's xorg problem. Probably has more to do with the System Settings that fetches the information
[04:20] <almoxarife> delac: comparing the two dirs/folders would not hurt either , /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[04:21] <kristenbb> hi, I've just installed ubuntu (12.04) alongside another ubuntu (10.04), on two different hard drives (A and B). If I boot on A, I have access to (10.04), and if I boot on B, nothing happens. I want to access (12.04). How to do that ? I think it's a MBR issue, but I don't know how to deal with it.
[04:22] <brandon420> kristenbb, a shot in the dark, but have you looked in /media/?
[04:23] <kristenbb> brandon420: looked for what?
[04:23] <almoxarife> kristenbb: sounds more like a mount issue? you have two partions at least, they should load into either OS running at the time
[04:24] <brandon420> kristenbb, for the drive. Not sure if a internal hdd would show in /media/. but that is where external hdds mount too
[04:24] <delac> almoxarife:  there aint any  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[04:24] <brandon420> almoxarife, think you could help me get my external to mount correctly? =x
[04:24] <newbchessplayer> hello
[04:24] <brandon420> hay
[04:25] <kristenbb> almoxarife: I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean? My question is, how can I make the new OS start, instead of the old one.
[04:25] <almoxarife> delac: my bad then, i was looking at my setup on opensuse, the equiv must exist
[04:25] <simplew> what do i need to install to have lightdm appearing like when installing ubuntu???
[04:26] <almoxarife> kristenbb: you mean you don't see one of the os's on the grub screen? sort of lost now
[04:27] <kristenbb> almoxarife: actually I don't even see any grub screen
[04:27] <brandon420> almoxarife, She installed ubuntu twice and is not able to choose what to boot. Is what i gather.
[04:27] <borkdox> kristenbb, you can run grub form either the installation CD or the 10.04 install.  you will be able to autodetect all the OS and chose the drive on which GRUB will be installed. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstalling_GRUB_2
[04:27] <delac> almoxarife: well, ubuntu doesnt use xorg.conf anymore...
[04:27] <newbchessplayer> my computer is running 12.04. It takes a loooong time to restart and im keep getting notifications that Ubuntu couldn't download from the repositories. I want to reinstall the whole system but there are a lot of programs with setups that took a long time. Is there another option for me? Possibly to upgrade in some special way so that it fixes the problems I'm experiencing?
[04:28] <saruthiko> how do I check which driver my wifi card is using/
[04:28] <almoxarife> delac: correct, not looking for xorg.conf, looking for a dir with some rules that are auto created at boot via udev(i think, not sure about that one)
[04:29] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, When you installed to the second drive was this an auto install, and have you tried booting from that drive?
[04:29] <almoxarife> kristenbb: what do you choose the OS to run from?
[04:30] <cutegeekgirl> :P
[04:30] <cutegeekgirl> please  help me
[04:30] <cutegeekgirl> my computer is broken
[04:30] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: yes I have tried booting from that drive, but nothing happens. I think the grub information was installed on the other drive, maybe ?
[04:30] <borkdox> lol
[04:30] <newbchessplayer> :P
[04:31] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: however, if I run a live cd, it correctly guesses that there are two OS installed.
[04:31] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, Thats a good conjecture you can as suggested use a live cd and chroot to the new install and load grub to its mbr, or we could have you run a script that will give us the info really needed to put in a pastebin.
[04:31] <brandon420> Can someone help me get preload working?
[04:31] <almoxarife> kristenbb: run in terminal on both os's 'sudo update-grub'
[04:32] <newbchessplayer> my computer is running 12.04. It takes a loooong time to restart and im keep getting notifications that Ubuntu couldn't download from the repositories. I want to reinstall the whole system but there are a lot of programs with setups that took a long time. Is there another option for me? Possibly to upgrade in some special way so that it fixes the problems I'm experiencing?
[04:32] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: ok so once I have run a live cd, and chosen 'try ubuntu', what next ?
[04:32] <almoxarife> brandon420: preload works in the background, not much one can do to it besides installing it
[04:33] <brandon420> Any other tricks i can use to speed up my system?
[04:33] <saruthiko> how do I check which driver my wifi card is using?
[04:33] <almoxarife> brandon420: i know of one really scary one :) , prelink
[04:33] <somsip> brandon420: speed up what, exactly?
[04:34] <brandon420> somsip, boot times, load times. Before i upgraded to 12.10 my computer seemed much faster..
[04:34] <wilee-nilee> kriskropd, Here is a grub wiki that defaults to a chroot method, it can be a bit confusing so if you follow it feel free to ask any questions.
[04:34] <wilee-nilee> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot
[04:34] <somsip> brandon420: ah - I can't help with 12.10 upgrade issues, sorry
[04:35] <brandon420> somsip, would upgrading change my modifications i made for my ssd?
[04:35] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, Sorry, Here is a grub wiki that defaults to a chroot method, it can be a bit confusing so if you follow it feel free to ask any questions.
[04:35] <wilee-nilee>   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot
[04:35] <almoxarife> brandon420: nevermind about prelink, something else is eating the cpu cycles, looked at the logs for obvious? system monitor for hogs? 'htop' also good for it, for the cli purists
[04:36] <brandon420> almoxarife, I have, nothing seems out of the ordinary. but my boot times have went from like 8 seconds to 15-20
[04:36] <brandon420> and i am back to waiting for stuff to load again. -_-
[04:36] <newbchessplayer> my computer is running 12.04. It takes a loooong time to restart and im keep getting notifications that Ubuntu couldn't download from the repositories. I want to reinstall the whole system but there are a lot of programs with setups that took a long time. Is there another option for me? Possibly to upgrade in some special way so that it fixes the problems I'm experiencing?
[04:37] <almoxarife> brandon420: install 'bootchart' something pretty to look for issues with
[04:37] <zombifier> newbchessplayer: what are the exact messages of those notifications?
[04:38] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: I'm doing it. Is the step 'Mount the critical virtual filesystems.' really required?
[04:38] <brandon420> newbchessplayer, I am going to have to say that there isn't. Upgrading /may/ help out a little, but i wouldn't get your hopes up. I have had to start over again may times because of a random system error. You could go through and trouble shoot each and every problem though. Check all of the recent changes that you have made to the system.
[04:38] <brandon420> almoxarife, I will try that.
[04:39] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, #8 yes
[04:39] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, Just copy and paste that command
[04:39] <almoxarife> brandon420: btw, 'preload' is used post boot, but i used to think it made a diff
[04:40] <djjeff> [   11.146278] vesafb: mode is 640x480x32, linelength=2560, pages=0      how do I change this to 1920x1080x32   ?
[04:40] <almoxarife> brandon420: 'prelink' that's the ticket :)
[04:41] <newbchessplayer> zombifier, hold on im going to upload a screenshot
[04:41] <brandon420> almoxarife, Could you give me the tldr; version of what prelink is? (Wondering if it would be worth the time learning/researching)
[04:41] <almoxarife> djjeff: vesa sounds like fallback/failsafe
[04:41] <brandon420> bootchart is looking pretty niffty though
[04:41] <djjeff> can I disable vesa ?
[04:42] <djjeff> cause when ubuntu boots thats the resolution it uses
[04:42] <brandon420> ouch
[04:43] <almoxarife> brandon420: not sure what version its at, google it, its really off subject here, i personally believe it does speed up the whole process in kde, most others don't, so its really a try and see if it works for you
[04:44] <wilee-nilee> djjeff, That resolution is probably to high at the grub menu, you can change it in this file though and run a update-grub afterwards before rebooting. gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[04:44] <almoxarife> djjeff: what graphics card/capability do you have? being in vesa graphics ususally means something is not running at its best graphics wiise
[04:44] <brandon420> almoxarife, Alright, i will check it out. I am about to do a reboot and see what bootchart gives me. So i will return in a few minutes
[04:44] <newbchessplayer> zombifier, did you get that
[04:44] <saruthiko> I've blacklisted iwlwifi and installed the proprietary wifi driver via ndiswrapper and I can see it under "currently installed windows drivers," but ubuntu doesn't seem to realize I have wifi.  Under enable networking (which is checked) there is no enable wireless.  Any idea what I'm missing?
[04:44] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: ok, I'm done with the tutorial. I'm at step 11. I typed 'update-grub'. BUT the output of this command is: "found linnux image: /boot/... found initrd image: /boot/... found memtest86+ image: /boot/... found ubuntu 10.04 oon /dev/sda4. done" There is no "found ubuntu 12.04..." is that expected ?
[04:45] <almoxarife> saruthiko: headers for your kernel?
[04:45] <saruthiko> almoxarife: I don't know what that means
[04:45] <djjeff> I installed NVIDIA drivers from NVIDIAs website
[04:45] <djjeff> cause I have a Geforce GTX 560 ti
[04:46] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, Did you run the sudo fdisk -l command to confirm the 12.04 partition and mount it first?
[04:46] <almoxarife> djjeff: might want to look at all the reasons to delete that install and look at nvidia-current package
[04:46] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: mount it first ? what do you mean ? I chrooted into the 12.04 partition.
[04:47] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb,  #5 command in that wiki
[04:47] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: (which is  on /dev/sdb)
[04:47] <almoxarife> djjeff: with that kind of graphics you should be doing better than vesa, unless you intentionally are booting into fallback/failsafe mode
[04:47] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: yes I issued that command.
[04:48] <djjeff> will installing nvidia-current affect my GAMES in WINE 1.5.16
[04:49] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, It is hard to say what is going on from here I would rather see this script to get all the info needed myself, to not be guessing here. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[04:49] <almoxarife> djjeff: i would hope 'wine' appreciates a nvidia driver over 'vesa' , not sure what would happen though
[04:49] <CreepDeck> Hi, I downloaded an rss feed for viewing in the terminal, however, there is a lot of html stuff in it, is there a way to remove that, and then show the news one line after the other?
[04:50] <brandon420> almoxarife, Have you ever used bootchart?
[04:50] <almoxarife> brandon420: i have
[04:50] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, You just want to close the chroot with crtl-D and run the script unless you want to reboot to see whats up, the script will tell us if anything is missing and where everything is at.
[04:50] <grendal_prime> anyone ever had any luck with lvs?
[04:51] <brandon420> http://i.imgur.com/aEOE0.png
[04:51] <newbchessplayer> zombifier, how do you remove the redshift ppa and how do I get the correct ppa?
[04:51] <almoxarife> CreepDeck: you want to cli rss feed stripped of html, don't like a nice gui rss reader?
[04:51] <fsrvg> pastebin.com/iAR0rnhP
[04:51] <CreepDeck> almoxarife: nah, I am a terminal guy.
[04:52] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: I rebooted but the problem is still the same.
[04:52] <reuf> hello
[04:52] <zombifier> newbchessplayer: sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:jonls/redshift-ppa
[04:52] <almoxarife> CreepDeck: well then terminal guy, there you have it, you need a html-strip from my rss feed dump script
[04:53] <CreepDeck> Ok, thanks!
[04:53] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, I would run the bootscript, it will get us a lot closer to finding what is up, you would just paste all the text to a pastebin. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[04:54] <newbchessplayer> I have to go. thanks for the advice zombifier
[04:54] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: ok
[04:55] <reuf> i have chomre installed, and i want to control more than one sound on different browsers but on system level
[04:55] <reuf> or
[04:55] <reuf> if i have firefox and chrome and i want to mute sound on firefox but leave it on chrome on system level - how?
[04:57] <almoxarife> reuf: are you running both browser at the same time?
[04:57] <GenghisCain> hmm
[04:57] <reuf> almoxarife: yes
[04:58] <almoxarife> reuf: i am guessing that there is a good reason for it
[04:58] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, So the 10.04 boots though it seems did you run a sudo update-grub there yet?
[04:58] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: no
[04:58] <reuf> i want to listen to music on one browser and play a game on the other which has a soun and no options to mute the sound
[04:58] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: i'm running the script now, maybe i'll do that next
[04:59] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, YOu might try that first if 12.04 is in good shape it should show then.
[04:59] <wilee-nilee> kriskropd, Cool if you have the script just post it first then.
[04:59] <reuf> http://dagobah.net/flash/the_worlds_hardest_game.swf < i want to play this, and listen to this > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLjHw-Xc_N8 ; but i cannot seem to find a way to mute the sound on the game
[05:00] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, We want the script to read exactly as it is a update grub wil change things.
[05:00] <almoxarife> reuf: while both are running with sound coming from either, look at the 'soundmixer' applet, reduce output from the one you don't care to listen to?
[05:01] <CrazyHorse18> If i have a directory called deploy:deploy 770 /apps   is there a way i can default all directories and files under that to be also owned by the deploy:deploy group?
[05:01] <CrazyHorse18> group and user that is
[05:02] <reuf> almoxarife: alright fixed it - works
[05:02] <reuf> thanks
[05:02] <almoxarife> :)
[05:02] <almoxarife> gui's are our friends
[05:03] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: pastebin.com/dNAj2SYt
[05:03] <wilee-nilee> thanks hold on
[05:05] <ace_leo> hey all, noob alert ;)
[05:05] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, Can you copy all the text from that script, primarily I see you are missing part of the full grub files needed in the 12.04, but all the text is needed.
[05:07] <brandon420> A weird question, Is there anyway to remove the ubuntu splash screen and make it display the active terminal?
[05:08] <almoxarife> brandon420: yes, grub edit
[05:08] <kristenbb> wilee-nilee: which part do you need in the results ? I'm not confortable publicly copy pasting things about my computer that I don't understand.
[05:08] <brandon420> almoxarife, could you push me in the right direction of googling?
[05:08] <almoxarife> brandon420: using gnome or kde?
[05:09] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, All that text tells nothing about your computer that is worrisome, we use this script everyday and there is no exposure.
[05:09] <brandon420> gnome i guess... unitiy.
[05:09] <brandon420> (also have gnome installed)
[05:09] <almoxarife> brandon420: via terminal          gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
[05:12] <almoxarife> splash=silent quiet <--- brandon420 do you see either of those two words in the 'kernel' line?
[05:13] <wilee-nilee> kristenbb, here is one of mine run with a tool called bootrepair if that helps. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1319937/

[05:14] <brandon420> almoxarife, not any more. lol.
[05:14] <devjustforfun> -bash: cd: apache2/: Permission denied If i have that?
[05:14] <almoxarife> brandon420: put it back when you tire of the screen show

[05:15] <SwedeMike> brandon420: please don't recommend people to set root password.
[05:16] <brandon420> =/
[05:16] <brandon420> Sorry. lol.
[05:16] <brandon420> It comes in handy sometimes. =)

[05:17] <almoxarife> brandon420: don't you have the util 'gnome-system-log'? did i spell that correctly?
[05:17] <SwedeMike> devjustforfun: you have to be root or be in the adm group to look at the apache logs.

[05:18] <devjustforfun> SwedeMike it's not posible for my account ))
[05:19] <devjustforfun> SwedeMike maybe admin might do for me some links to my folder and that will be work?
[05:19] <almoxarife> devjustforfun: in terminal   gksu gnome-system-log

[05:22] <Jimster480-Lapto> can anyone here get on rapidshare?
[05:22] <chasedawg> Hey my sound isn't working on my recently installed 12.10, suggestions?
[05:23] <devjustforfun> almoxarife maybe i should ask my administrator to give me a symbolic link to apache logs?
[05:23] <almoxarife> devjustforfun: yes
[05:24] <simplew> I have sintalled kubuntu but i would like to have the login screen like it apepars in ubuntu, what do i need to do?
[05:24] <devjustforfun> that means if admin do something ln -s /var/log /home/myuser/logs that means myuser will be access logs
[05:25] <almoxarife> devjustforfun: install 'lightdm'
[05:25] <almoxarife> devjustforfun: carefully
[05:25] <devjustforfun> lightdm what's that,
[05:25] <chasedawg> Hey my sound isn't working on my recently installed 12.10, suggestions?
[05:25] <devjustforfun> ?
[05:27] <almoxarife> chasedawg: install 'alsamixer' run it in terminal, see 'mm' shown in 'output' devices?
[05:28] <chasedawg> almoxarife: I don't see mm in output devices
[05:28] <croz> I need some help with Grub. I installed Easy BCD trying to fix something for a game. Then I installed Windows 8. Didn't like it so I reinstalled Windows 7. After that I decided to give Linux a go since I hadn't used it in some months. I reinstalled Ubuntu thinking it would just wipe my old install automatically. I ran boot-repair and now Grub is there, but when I select Linux Mint it takes me
[05:28] <croz> to the old installation.
[05:28] <devjustforfun> almoxarife that means if admin do something ln -s /var/log /home/myuser/logs that means myuser will be access logs
[05:30] <chasedawg> almoxarife: just kidding, I found the 'mm', what should I do with 'mm'
[05:31] <almoxarife> devjustforfun: i am not good with 'if's , i don't know apache, but i assume that it has a group and i would ask to me put in it, that's a guess btw
[05:31] <almoxarife> chasedawg: un-mm the outputs, every single one of them
[05:32] <almoxarife> chasedawg: assuming you done that, reboot, good luck
[05:44] <Jimster480-L> anyone around here who can help me on something for a sec

[06:00] <julius_> hi
[06:00] <julius_> how do i enable a firefox that runs as a differnt user to use my soundcard?   terminal error:  ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
[06:00] <the_dark_knight> I have been trying to solve it for a while but no luck. what seems to be the problem?
[06:01] <julius_> the_dark_knight, is that for me?
[06:02] <somsip> the_dark_knight: is the ip correct, is sshd running, is the port open...what have you checked?
[06:05] <the_dark_knight> somsip: how do I check if the port is open. sshd seems to be running because I can ssh other machines except this one?
[06:05] <NoOova> Hello all!
[06:05] <NoOova> what rights must has /etc/shadow
[06:05] <NoOova> ?
[06:05] <Gallomimia> hey what's the package to install the do-release-upgrade command again?
[06:06] <the_dark_knight> somsip: did netstat -nlp | grep :22 it says sshd is running on 22.
[06:06] <somsip> the_dark_knight: netstat -a | grep 22
[06:06] <Gallomimia> update-manager-core
[06:07] <somsip> the_dark_knight: you're trying to login using user/pass or key? Does the /etc/ssh/sshd_config allow the method you're trying to use?
[06:07] <almoxarife> NoOova:  admin
[06:09] <somsip> NoOova: root:shadow 640
[06:09] <the_dark_knight> somsip: trying to ssh with user and pass
[06:09] <somsip> the_dark_knight: so you need PasswordAuthentication no
[06:10] <somsip> the_dark_knight: sorry - bad paste. That should be yes, of course
[06:10] <the_dark_knight> somsip: netstat -nlp | grep :22 gave some results. but  sudo netstat -a | grep 22 didn't show anything about port 22
[06:10] <somsip> the_dark_knight: I use -a without really understanding other options, I admit
[06:13] <almoxarife> the_dark_knight: you are the client ,yes?
[06:13] <akis> dows any one has experience from wine application?
[06:13] <the_dark_knight> almoxarife: yes.
[06:13] <paran0id_penguin> high
[06:13] <paran0id_penguin> i need some help
[06:14] <paran0id_penguin> i want to renice a job called par2 but in the background
[06:14] <erase_> hello. fresh installed 12.10 on my eeepc. does not start X. :|
[06:14] <erase_> known problem?
[06:15] <the_dark_knight> almoxarife: somsip, what I don't understand is how I can ssh other machines but not this one?
[06:15] <paran0id_penguin> yeah ask doctor Xorg
[06:15] <somsip> the_dark_knight: it suggests that your client is okay, but your ssh server on the remote server is not.
[06:16] <almoxarife> the_dark_knight: are you sure the host creditials are correct
[06:17] <the_dark_knight> almoxarife: It doesn't even ask for the pass. when I hit ssh user@IP. it gives the "connection refused" error
[06:19] <almoxarife> the_dark_knight:  you hit a fire wall
[06:19] <Guest45092> the_dark_knight: The system may be poweroff or perhabs external connecton is refussed or the system has  no openssh-client installed at that system  if it is debian based
[06:19] <Guest45092> the_dark_knight: Or may be due to iptable rules, Pardon me if i am wrong
[06:21] <the_dark_knight> Guest45092: the machine is right next to me and can ssh my machine.
[06:22] <erase_> does it have the openssh-server package installer, the_dark_knight ?
[06:22] <erase_> *installed
[06:23] <Guest45092> the_dark_knight: it means that machine has set iptables for no ssh connection also there might be a possibility that, that machine have no openssh-server  installed that is necessary
[06:31] <brandon420> How can I change the login screen, or completely disable it?
[06:32] <erase_> brandon420, set it to auto-login
[06:33] <arkfille> Hello
[06:34] <the_dark_knight> Guest45092: what should I do then?
[06:35] <erase_> the_dark_knight: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[06:35] <the_dark_knight> erase_: on the machine I can't ssh to right?
[06:35] <erase_> yes
[06:36] <paran0id_penguin> the dark bright
[06:36] <Guest45092> the_dark_knight: Go and install openssh-server if already not nistalled in that system and then allow your system ip for ssh to that machine using iptables, you can flush iptables but it is not good idea, use a rule for ssh
[06:36] <paran0id_penguin> ufw is ok?
[06:37] <brandon420> can i disable plyouth?
[06:37] <StormOne> hey
[06:37] <brandon420> plymouth**
[06:37] <paran0id_penguin> yes, but you have to ask the puritanians there
[06:38] <Guest45092> the_dark_knight:  You can also set iptbales rules by ip and also by MAC address
[06:38] <the_dark_knight> Guest45092: I don't understand the "allow your system ip for ssh to that machine using  iptables
[06:38] <the_dark_knight> " part
[06:38] <paran0id_penguin> brandon420 i toke you understand
[06:39] <Guest45092> the_dark_knight: i suggest to read a manual for ssh connection, go through google
[06:39] <Guest45092> the_dark_knight:  Good Luck Man !
[06:41] <brandon420> paran0id_penguin, i have no idea what that means.
[06:41] <brandon420> lol
[06:41] <paran0id_penguin> ah the puritans ruled plymouth
[06:41] <paran0id_penguin> so you have to ask those dudes
[06:42] <brandon420> hahaha
[06:43] <the_dark_knight> Guest45092: thanks man installing openssh-server on machine 2 did the trick. so openssh-server was to allow someone to ssh access not to do ssh on some other machine. right?
[06:46] <Guest45092> the_dark_knight: To connect to any machine that machine have must installed openssh-server and to make a connecton to that machine you must have to install open-ssh client
[06:46] <Guest45092> the_dark_knight: * openssh-client
[06:48] <afidegnum> hello pls this is a sample shell script which is aimed to split csv files into pieces and preserving the header. so far, it's aimed to call a single file. how do I split multiple files?
[06:48] <devjustforfun> People hi. i have a version of php 5.3.18 and i setup in my suhosin.ini file which located in /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d  suhosin.memory_limit=512 and in my script i setup ini_set('memory_limit', '512M'); but i have anyway error: PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted
[06:48] <afidegnum> http://pastebin.com/a0tnR38r
[06:48] <devjustforfun> Any suggestion please
[06:51] <erase_> afidegnum: for i in $(ls); do script $i; done
[06:51] <Gallomimia> devjustforfun: that seems like you hit the ulimit
[06:51] <devjustforfun> Gallomimia ulimit what's that?
[06:51] <Gallomimia> i'm not well versed in working with those or changing them. but do a google and read the man for ulimit
[06:52] <devjustforfun> Gallomimia how to increase that ?
[06:52] <zblut1> Hello
[06:52] <afidegnum> erase_: euh number shoud I modify? or I should add to the end?
[06:52] <zblut1> does anyone know how to add a custom action to the right click menu for gnome-terminal on Ubuntu 10.04?
[06:52] <Gallomimia> first check what the ulimits for memory are and compare to the error message you got
[06:52] <Gallomimia> just to see if it's in the neighborhood of what's going on
[06:53] <devjustforfun> ulimits that related to my operation system?
[06:53] <Gallomimia> i am having trouble with my new vps giving me an error when performing do-release-upgrade for out of memory problem. can anyone give me a suggestion there? i think i need to mount some swap
[06:53] <erase_> afidegnum, no. you run this command in the command line. replace "script" by your script filename, and "ls" by "ls thedirectorywherethefilesare"
[06:53] <erase_> afidegnum: for i in $(ls); do script $i; done
[06:54] <Gallomimia> devjustforfun: it's a simple limit for users. just a config to prevent fork bombs and stuff
[06:54] <afidegnum> ok
[06:56] <erase_> afidegnum: it will run your script once for each file in the directory
[06:56] <erase_> get it?
[06:57] <afidegnum> I named the script, xplit which I should call  sh ./xplit file.txt     so now. with the for loop, should i do for i in $(mydir); do ./xplit $i; done   in bash? or I need to modify xplit script?
[06:58] <afidegnum> erase_: ?
[06:58] <erase_> afidegnum: for i in $(ls -1 mydir); do ./xplit $i; done
[06:59] <erase_> i'm on windows :S

[07:04] <afidegnum> ok, second, I think mv command does not allow to specify the number of files to move at a time
[07:04] <afidegnum> I was doing mv 1000 to newfolder
[07:04] <afidegnum> or what's the correct way?
[07:05] <erase_> no it does not

[07:10] <somsip> the_dark_knight: are you serving the index.php from the default /var/www directory?

[07:11] <the_dark_knight> I don't have php5.load files in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled

[07:12] <somsip> the_dark_knight: try sudo a2enmod php5, but surely 10.04 should start this automatically
[07:12] <somsip> the_dark_knight: or mod_php5, etc
[07:12] <rhizmoe> Alexi_: you mean like airfoil on mac?
[07:13] <the_dark_knight> somsip: it says ERROR: Module php5 does not exist!
[07:14] <rhizmoe> Alexi_: http://superuser.com/questions/149095/is-there-an-equivalent-to-airfoil-available-for-linux
[07:14] <Alexi_> rhizmoe: I doubt Paltalk would have that, just a simple way to pass audio to wave-out, so i can play music instead of putting microphone next to loudsepakers
[07:14] <food> hello , I want to install the latest kde(4.9) on 12.04 amd64. What source should i add please?
[07:14] <somsip> the_dark_knight: this is a weird way of installing php tp me, but maybe its needed for 10.04 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1546116
[07:14] <Flannel> the_dark_knight, somsip: you need to install libapache2-mod-php5, that will give you the php <-> apache link.
[07:14] <food> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports ?
[07:14] <somsip> Flannel: just found that. Surprised me

[07:19] <food> Anyone Know please?
[07:19] <brandon420> food, I like you.
[07:19] <Alexi_> Yes!, thats what i need ty
[07:19] <brandon420> What was your question?
[07:19] <Flannel> food: #kubuntu is probably a better place to get that answer.
[07:19] <joshmc> Alexi_: glad to help
[07:19] <brandon420> almoxarife, Is dolphin more lightweight?
[07:19] <the_dark_knight> somsip: no problemo.
[07:20] <food> brandon420, I want to install kde 4.9 on ubuntu 64bit
[07:20] <brandon420> I have taken my boot time from 59 seconds to 22.59 seconds. =)
[07:20] <brandon420> food, one second.
[07:20] <paran0id_penguin> i need a bhagwan for the mental support of ubuntu
[07:20] <food> thanks
[07:20] <brandon420> food, 12.10?
[07:21] <almoxarife> brandon420: for light you need a lightweight desktop, but i don't think dolphin is any lighter than nautilus
[07:21] <food> brandon420, 12.4.1
[07:21] <paran0id_penguin> bhagwan, come help us
[07:22] <almoxarife> brandon420: you do know that a boot should be an experience rarely needed, don't fixate on the little things
[07:22] <food> brandon420, Just want to install minimal kde
[07:22] <brandon420> food, have you tried the software center? kubuntu-desktop
[07:23] <brandon420> almoxarife, i am on a laptop that does alot of traveling, lol.
[07:23] <almoxarife> food: install 'qtrazor'
[07:23] <food> brandon420, That is not old?
[07:23] <food> almoxarife, what is that?
[07:23] <almoxarife> brandon420: run tamdem dm's, a light and comfortable
[07:23] <Alexi_> a new Desktop Environment using qt.
[07:24] <almoxarife> food: it is minimal kde
[07:24] <food> brandon420, There is a guide http://www.noobslab.com/2012/08/install-kde-49-in-ubuntulinux-mint-new.html but i don't know if it applied for 64bit too
[07:25] <food> almoxarife, I heard kde-plasma-desktop is for minimal .... Let me search qtrazor :)
[07:25] <brandon420> food, i would try that.
[07:25] <brandon420> gnome-desktop does not have a 32, 64 bit package.
[07:26] <almoxarife> food: kde plasma is not minimal, it will run minimal if you also have qtrazor installed and login via it
[07:27] <almoxarife> food: search for razor-qt also, same thing
[07:28] <almoxarife> i use kde 4.9 , can you tell? :)
[07:29] <food> what to tell almoxarife ?
[07:30] <paran0id_penguin> no clue
[07:30] <Jeaton> somehow i screwed up my filesystem, now it is unknown under gparted, and it originally was ext4
[07:30] <Jeaton> i cannot boot to it, mount it or anything
[07:30] <paran0id_penguin> force mount
[07:30] <paran0id_penguin> boot up with a cd
[07:31] <Jeaton> how do you force mount it? ive tried booting up with a live cd, but it tells me filesystem is unknown
[07:32] <brandon420> hmmm
[07:33] <brandon420> qtrazor is pretty cool
[07:33] <brandon420> reminds me of windows >.>
[07:35] <almoxarife> Jeaton: i would assume the partion is toast
[07:35] <paran0id_penguin> i don't hear anything on 80m,
[07:35] <almoxarife> Jeaton: you are looking at forensic tools
[07:39] <Jeaton> almoxarife,
[07:39] <Jeaton> sorry, didnt mean to respond with that
[07:41] <hugenumbers> i forget what they are called, but what is a good tool for not letting your windows overlap?
[07:46] <ddsasdsuiq> hello
[07:48] <somsip> hugenumbers: you need a tiling thingy. What WM are you using?
[07:52] <ddsasdsuiq> i use vmware
[07:52] <hugenumbers> somsip i just need one to work with my openbox
[07:52] <Gallomimia> how can i slice off a piece of my vps's filesystem and make some swap?
[07:52] <somsip> hugenumbers: maybe this will help http://urukrama.wordpress.com/openbox-guide/#Tile
[07:53] <Jordan_U> Gallomimia: You can just create a swap file.
[07:53] <Gallomimia> oh that's much easier.. know a guide?
[07:54] <hugenumbers> somsip: Thanks
[07:56] <msx> Gallomimia: boot Ubuntu-live, run gparted, shrink -if needed- a partition that have too much space to the size you plan to give to the swap then make the swap on the new space left.
[07:56] <msx> Gallomimia: you will need to edit /etc/fstab after that to let the system know you have a swap partition it can use.
[07:57] <Gallomimia> this is a vps in a datacenter. there will be no live CD's for me
[07:57] <Jordan_U> Gallomimia: http://digitizor.com/2011/02/06/create-swap-file-ubuntu-linux/
[07:58] <msx> Gallomimia: oops, didn't read the *vps* part, lol!
[08:00] <MrInode0MS> Hi. I need to have only my custom sources.list entries in debian-installer. Does someone know how I can disable the autogeneration of sources.list
[08:00] <Gallomimia> the only reason i feel i need a swap file is cause do-release-upgrade fails with out of memory message. it's a truly tiny vps, and i don't need much ram at all
[08:03] <cristian_c> Hi
[08:04] <Gallomimia> hi.
[08:04] <cristian_c> I've found that I can send commands to my irc client from a configuration file: perform.conf
[08:04] <cristian_c> for example: cmd = /join #ubuntu
[08:04] <cristian_c> If I add this line to a particular server section, the command is executed
[08:04] <Gallomimia> it's handy
[08:05] <Gallomimia> you can use it to auth too
[08:05] <cristian_c> I could launch a script in the same manner: cmd = /exec -o ~/scriptname
[08:05] <cristian_c> I'd like to use this tecnique for use a personal quit message in irc
[08:05] <cristian_c> How can I do to get this?
[08:06] <mz|`>  /quit "message"
[08:06] <somsip> cristian_c: you really need support for your IRC client. This is ubuntu support
[08:06] <Gallomimia> i think the quit message is in another configure
[08:06] <cristian_c> somsip, my client is into the official ubuntu repo
[08:07] <somsip> cristian_c: which client do you use?
[08:07] <cristian_c> Gallomimia, I've checked all the config files :)
[08:07] <cristian_c> somsip, lostirc
[08:07] <cristian_c> Gallomimia, this config file lets me use command and scripts in a server :)
[08:08] <Gallomimia> man lostirc
[08:08] <Gallomimia> type it now ><
[08:08] <amriloi> llll
[08:09] <cristian_c> mz|`, this command quits me from the server. i'd like to use always the same quit message
[08:09] <somsip> cristian_c: join #lostirc to get support from people who use this
[08:09] <cristian_c> somsip, lostirc is an empty channel
[08:11] <Legolas> l
[08:11] <cristian_c> Gallomimia, i've opened the client's man
[08:11] <cristian_c> *I've
[08:11] <cristian_c> Gallomimia, i've read the man
[08:12] <Gallomimia> cristian_c: www.lmgtfy.com?q=lostirc+quit+message
[08:13] <impulze> hey ya, how can i change the terminal opened by the unity startmenu and ctrl+alt+t?
[08:13] <Jordan_U> Gallomimia: Please don't use lmgtfy links, or tell anyone to "google it" in this channel.
[08:13] <Gallomimia> $TERM ?
[08:14] <impulze> Gallomimia: no?
[08:14] <cristian_c> Gallomimia, there is no inherent link in the google page :(
[08:14] <cristian_c> *there are
[08:15] <Gallomimia> alright well i'm at the end of my ideas for you. as was said earlier, this is ubuntu support, not irc client support
[08:16] <cristian_c> Gallomimia, I thought it was an official repo package
[08:17] <cristian_c> :)
[08:17] <Gallomimia> yeah. this is for the operating system, and using it.
[08:17] <helpcrypto> hi
[08:17] <somsip> cristian_c: with common applications, you may well get help in here. With little known applications, you may not. That's why you've been redirected to the support channel for that specfic app
[08:17] <helpcrypto> in ubuntu 12.04 (as debian, AFAIK) they have moved to multiarch (/usr/lib/x86_64...), while 10.04 uses /usr/lib64, and 11.04 uses /usr/lib64->lib
[08:17] <helpcrypto> to sum up: a complete mess for me
[08:18] <helpcrypto> is there a command to get the library directory?
[08:18] <helpcrypto> something that in 12.04 returns /usr/lib/x86_64, while /usr/lib64 in 10.04 and whatever in 11 (talking about ubuntu)
[08:18] <cristian_c> somsip, where is the blacklisted application for the support channel? :)
[08:19] <cristian_c> somsip, I've done that, but it's an empty channel
[08:19] <doomlord> it seems to be letting me create a partitioned usb stick with one partition as bootable now ... couldn't do it before - perhaps this is a 12.10 update
[08:19] <somsip> cristian_c: you ask, and if people are unable to help you, you come back another time. End of conversation
[08:19] <Gallomimia> cristian_c: i browsed the docs a little on their sourceforge page. there may not be a way to set the quit message at all
[08:20] <cristian_c> somsip, I do always this :)
[08:20] <impulze> well gconf-editor was the key, thanks for nothing ;)
[08:20] <helpcrypto> cristian_c: what u looking for?
[08:20] <cristian_c> helpcrypto, I'd like to setup an application to launch commands
[08:20] <helpcrypto> cristian_c: so...?
[08:22] <cristian_c> helpcrypto, I've seen that my irc client (it's into the ubuntu repo) has got a config file (called perform.conf), that lets to launch commands or scripts
[08:22] <cristian_c> helpcrypto, for a particular server :)
[08:22] <helpcrypto> cristian_c: are you talking about launching command from irc client?
[08:23] <cristian_c> helpcrypto, yes
[08:23] <helpcrypto> then, dont ask in #ubuntu
[08:23] <cristian_c> helpcrypto, where?
[08:23] <helpcrypto> you could contact the mantainer, developer or maillist of that package
[08:26] <cristian_c> helpcrypto, there is an old list for developers. I'll contact the maintainer :)
[08:26] <cristian_c> helpcrypto, thanks
[08:28] <helpcrypto> i crashed
[08:28] <techie> whenever i try to enable my 3 screen setup ubuntu defaults to clone mode, i am currently using the latest AMD proprietary drivers from their website
[08:29] <helpcrypto> so. i asked: is there a way to get the /usr/lib directory? (/usr/lib64, /usr/lib/x86_64...)
[08:29] <amp> #handhelds.org
[08:36] <jeaton> is there anyway of changing a filesystem over to ext4 from unknown without formatting?
[08:36] <jeaton> or at least reading the partition as if it is ext4
[08:37] <HulkHogan> nope
[08:40] <fiko> !ciao
[08:40] <Slart> jeaton: if it *is* a valid ext4 file system you should be able to just mount it as an ext4 filesystem, I suppose
[08:41] <Slart> jeaton: or I might be misunderstanding what you want to do
[08:42] <fiko> !ciao
[08:44] <jeaton> Slart - it originally had an ext4 filesystem, something happened when I was upgrading ubuntu
[08:44] <jeaton> now it is unbootable, and under gparted, the filesystem is now unknown
[08:45] <Vitamin-D> My best friend Lines won't give me a hug. What do you think I should do?
[08:45] <Slart> jeaton: oh.. you might want to try some of the recovery tools that are out there.. some can just recover files but I think there might be a couple that can actually try to fix the filesystem.. I don't think any of them are turnkey systems where you can just press a "fix" button but it might be worth a try
[08:46] <almoxarife> jeaton: see a partion that looks familiar in size to yours with another partion number?
[08:46] <Slart> jeaton: before you start messing with the recovery tools I would recommend making a backup (if the files are important to you) or you might end up destroying what's left
[08:46] <Slart> !recovery | jeaton
[08:46] <Vitamin-D> Hey, someone. I need to figure out how to get this girl to give me a hug. Any suggestions?
[08:46] <Slart> bah.. that wasn't the one
[08:47] <Slart> !undelete | jeaton
[08:48] <Vitamin-D> How do I change my GRUB menu background?
[08:48] <raj> hi
[08:48] <jeaton> thanks
[08:48] <BluebirdShao> hi, guys. I wanna check my cpu temperature, but when i used "sensors" command, I got nothing, someone can help me?
[08:55] <L3top> !info lm-sensors
[08:59] <BluebirdShao> after "info lm-sensors", I can just see the top of INFO tree.
[08:59] <meltingwax> does anyone have any suggestions for software to create music videos for youtube? like one image, and a song
[09:00] <L3top> BluebirdShao: the info is for the ubottu factoid that followed. sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
[09:01] <BluebirdShao> L3top: yes, i've installed lm-sensors, and it's the newest version.
[09:01] <L3top> and when you type sensors... you got NO output?
[09:02] <TomyLobo> hi
[09:02] <TomyLobo> how do i check when a package was last updated and from which version to which?
[09:02] <BluebirdShao> L3top: "no sensors found!"
[09:04] <L3top> in that case BluebirdShao you either dont have sensors or linux cannot use em.
[09:04] <almoxarife> BluebirdShao: http://lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter2 <-- look at the instructions here, see 'run sensors..............' , did you already do that?
[09:04] <L3top> TomyLobo: I am not sure that there is an easy way to gather that info...
[09:04] <_cronus_> TomyLobo, /var/log/apt/history.log has some info
[09:05] <wilee-nilee> BluebirdShao, run sudo sensors-detect and answer yes to all
[09:05] <almoxarife> if it was easy no one would want it, :)
[09:06] <BluebirdShao> L3top: my cpu is intel-core i3, i think maybe i need some modules to drive its sensors
[09:06] <wilee-nilee> BluebirdShao, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[09:06] <BluebirdShao> but i don't what the module it is.
[09:08] <almoxarife> BluebirdShao: the right answer to the script is 'yes' all the way till it closes
[09:09] <BluebirdShao> almoxarife: I have typed "yes" to all. and it tell me to insert "max6650" to /etc/modules.
[09:10] <BluebirdShao> almoxarife: and i can see "max6650" when i typed "lsmod"
[09:11] <almoxarife> BluebirdShao: alright, so what is keeping you? what is your desktop?
[09:11] <L3top> TomyLobo: might look for details in /var/lib/dpkg/status and status.old too... will require some clever grepping
[09:11] <TomyLobo> history.log seems fine, thanks
[09:12] <BluebirdShao> almoxarife: but sorry, use "sensors" also display "no sensors found. Make sure you have loaded all the kernel drivers you need."
[09:12] <DusteD> Trying to install ubuntu server 12.04 from a usb harddisk to a machine with 4x3TiB disks that is setup such that 250 MiB /boot/ exists on first disk, and 3x250 MiB swap on next 3 disks, then finally rest of diskspace on each disk is for sw-raid. Partitioning and creating rootfs seems okay, machine gets ip, can ping around, then simply tells me "configuring packagemanager failed"
[09:12] <almoxarife> BluebirdShao: first things first, have you placed what ever it asked for where it expected it?
[09:16] <simplew> i have installed kubuntu but i would like to have the ubuntu login screen, what i need to do?
[09:16] <BluebirdShao> almoxarife: yes, sensors-detect have do it for me. http://imagebin.org/234009
[09:17] <TomyLobo> hmm the history does explain my issue either...
[09:17] <TomyLobo> i have a lenovo z580 with one of those damn clickpads
[09:17] <almoxarife> BluebirdShao: you have rebooted since?
[09:17] <BluebirdShao> almoxarife: I'm using ubuntu-10.10
[09:18] <TomyLobo> basically the touchpad doubles as a giant left mouse button
[09:18] <almoxarife> BluebirdShao: ok
[09:18] <TomyLobo> (not talking about tapping, that's different)
[09:18] <TomyLobo> and there are no right and middle mouse buttons in hardware
[09:19] <TomyLobo> synaptics is supposed to emulate those by detecting where my finger is when i click that button
[09:19] <TomyLobo> but it doesn't
[09:19] <BluebirdShao> almoxarife: exactlly, i've added it on Oct 28, so...
[09:20] <TomyLobo> the Option to configure that is documented but not present
[09:20] <BluebirdShao> almoxarife: i've reboot many times.
[09:21] <TomyLobo> 'synclient SoftButtonAreas="60 0 85 0 40 60 85 0"' gives me "Unknown parameter SoftButtonAreas"
[09:21] <almoxarife> BluebirdShao: i assume you have the headers for the kernel installed>?
[09:21] <TomyLobo> although the manpage lists it (albeit as "clickpad only")
[09:22] <BluebirdShao> almoxarife: you mean this dir: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22
[09:23] <almoxarife> BluebirdShao: there are two header packages for the kernel, do you have both?
[09:23] <Kartagis> !xen says to disable network-manager. how am I supposed to obtain an IP via DHCP then?
[09:24] <fincan> hi, I have problem with intel+amd hybrid g570 laptop catalyst install, when I install catalyst from additional drivers, black screen appears after the install both fglrx and fglrx-update. There was no problem with 12.04 and when I installed catalyst beta from amd website. Deskop opens without unity interface. Still I could not find a solution. Any idea?
[09:25] <jeaton> wow, photorec is amazing, pictures were my only concern with the corrupted filesystem, and it is finding everything
[09:25] <llutz> Kartagis: configure your network using /etc/network/interfaces then
[09:25] <vfw> meltingwax: dvd-slideshow  See:  http://dinsdalepiranha.wordpress.com/2007/10/16/how-to-make-a-video-for-youtube-with-linux/
[09:25] <almoxarife> fincan: try this on the black screen, control-alt-f8 then control-alt-f7 , see a login screen?
[09:27] <VlanY> sorry guys, not sure if it's the right place to ask this. I just wanted to know if it is acceptable to have your PC to freeze once every week, or if i should search for hardware issues. I need to make clear that i've assembled this PC following the right procedures; no hight temperatures, hight quality components and so on..
[09:27] <BluebirdShao> almoxarife: yes. one is "linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic" and another is "linux-headers-2.6.35-22"
[09:27] <fincan> almoxarife: after boot, X crash report appears and give option to backto the old settings. well thats means other virtual desktops are broken too
[09:28] <lapion> where did "additional drivers" go ?
[09:28] <almoxarife> BluebirdShao: no idea then, beyond my meager brain cell now
[09:28] <erase_> guys, on my laptop is it possible to downgrade my CPU speed so that it does not heat up too much?
[09:29] <BluebirdShao> almoxarife: lol
[09:29] <lapion> erase use cpufreq applet in gnome-classic
[09:29] <kushal_kumaran> lapion: it's now a tab in "Software Sources"
[09:29] <erase_> lapion, thx
[09:30] <Archaical> Greetings..... INFIDELS!!!!
[09:30] <erase_> i had to change to windows. my laptop with ubuntu would heat up to the point of autoshutdown
[09:31] <lapion> erase_, get your laptop cleaned (either professionally or not advised :do it yourself)
[09:32] <lhavelund> I'm having some issues with a 12.10 live session; X seems to be constantly attempted to load the noveau driver, fails, and crashes, ad infinitum. I can briefly access the tty and need to somehow kill the responsible service. Halp? :)
[09:32] <erase_> lapion, it's clean. it really a HP problem
[09:33] <lapion> erase_, what model ?
[09:33] <erase_> g62
[09:33] <lapion> pavilion ?
[09:33] <vfw> meltingwax: Where he says "convert <filename> -resize 640x480 <newfilename>"  you can do it like this, (if it's already jpeg and you want to leave it jpeg) 'mogrify -resize 640x480 image.jpg'  Do it his way if you want to change file name and/or format, (for instance if it is xcf and you want to convert to jpg, or if it is gif and you want it to be jpg, etc.)
[09:33] <erase_> lapion, yes. it's like this since i bought it
[09:33] <DoNoBaN> Hi, yesterday I add a mirror to my windows7 partition but it seems that my whole HD has become SFS type and I cant install grub2
[09:33] <frenk> salve
[09:34] <lapion> erase_, did it come in a factory sealed box?
[09:34] <jalansore-> hello can help me how to master in linux command?
[09:35] <DoNoBaN> here is my fdisk -l output, http://pastebin.com/apXZjcq4
[09:35] <lhavelund> Essentially, I'm wondering which service manages X on the live session.
[09:35] <DoNoBaN> /dev/sda1 should be swap and sda2 ext4
[09:35] <MonkeyDust> jalansore-  you want to learn bash commands?
[09:35] <DoNoBaN> anybody knows if there is possible to convert them but let sda3 as SFS?
[09:35] <jalansore-> yes, but in focus.
[09:36] <MonkeyDust> jalansore-  start here, ask later for more advanced https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[09:36] <blackshirt> sfs?
[09:36] <erase_> lapion, yes. windows reduces the cpu speed as needed... but on linux the cpu is always on full speed
[09:36] <frenk> OpenJoke / #magic / Magico|FanTasCienZa|001 http://magic-magico-fantascienza-001.xdcc.it
[09:37] <jalansore-> thx for the sugestion.
[09:38] <vfw> meltingwax: Or if you have the whole batch of images and they are all different sizes, you can do them all at once:  mogrify -resize 640x480 *
[09:38] <frenk_> ciao
[09:39] <frenk_> OpenJoke / #magic / Magico|FanTasCienZa|001 http://magic-magico-fantascienza-001.xdcc.it

[09:42] <erase_> lapion, THX
[09:42] <lapion> erase_, sometimes the dirt in in there from the factory.. and sometimes they use cheap cooling-paste..
[09:42] <vfw> DoNoBaN: Why do you need to change it?
[09:43] <jalansore-> can help me
[09:43] <jalansore-> what is this???
[09:43] <jalansore-> when i connect to a server
[09:43] <jalansore-> disconnected.
[09:43] <lapion> this is Internet Relay Chat..
[09:43] <vfw> DoNoBaN: So you "mirrored" your HD?
[09:44] <lapion> just ask your actual question and someone will try to help
[09:44] <DoNoBaN> vfw, I only need to fix grub2
[09:44] <vfw> DoNoBaN: From one HD to another?
[09:44] <DoNoBaN> simple I suspect that there isnt another way
[09:44] <the_dark_knight> Hi, how do I restart a process immediately after it get aborted, like restarting it after reboot. I want some of my process to be allways up and running. I am talking about the gearman workers (prcesses) if anybody know gearman. Please help, I have been searching for it for a long time and I have lost hope.
[09:44] <DoNoBaN> I only want to mirror my win7 partition
[09:44] <DoNoBaN> /dev/sda3, but seems that win7 mirrored the whole hd
[09:44] <vfw> DoNoBaN: What exactly are you doing?
[09:44] <jrib> the_dark_knight: are you using upstart to manage it?
[09:45] <vfw> NoOova: Is mirroring like cloning?
[09:45] <Slart> the_dark_knight: can't you run some kind of watchdog? there has to be existing solutions for this in the repos, it's not like it's an uncommon situation
[09:45] <jalansore-> when i try connect a server, i get this message : http://kline.dal.net/proxy/proxyinfo.php?dnsbl=tc.m&ip=.., what is that and how to repair??
[09:45] <vfw> DoNoBaN: What software did you use to "mirror" the HD?
[09:45] <DoNoBaN> vfw, I do all the process from win7. I went to disk manager, and on win7 parttion select add mirror,
[09:46] <DoNoBaN> vfw, win 7 disk manager :/
[09:46] <the_dark_knight> jrib: I don't know upstart. Is it some program?
[09:46] <jrib> the_dark_knight: upstart is ubunut's init daemon
[09:46] <the_dark_knight> Slart: by "watchdog" I think you mean a daemon. But how do I do that?
[09:46] <jrib> ubuntu*
[09:47] <vfw> DoNoBaN: What is the end goal?
[09:47] <jrib> the_dark_knight: how do you start this gearman software?
[09:47] <vfw> DoNoBaN: What exactly are you trying to do?
[09:47] <the_dark_knight> jrib: but it will be only for the reboot condition. what for the fail/abort
[09:47] <vfw> DoNoBaN: Or; What exactly were you trying to do from the start?
[09:47] <Slart> the_dark_knight: afaik watchdog is what you call a system like the one you described.. this thread from stackoverflow might be useful http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9072879/how-to-use-linux-software-watchdog
[09:48] <the_dark_knight> jrib: you have to install gearmand first and start the gearmand daemon like gearmand -d
[09:48] <jrib> the_dark_knight: upstart provides facilities to respawn processes (see "respawn" in the upstart cookbook)
[09:48] <DoNoBaN> vfw, I use win7 for some things with a lot of HD usage. So I want to try some raid for improve read speed
[09:48] <the_dark_knight> Slart: thanks looking into it
[09:48] <jalansore-> what shell command to know hardware specification?
[09:49] <the_dark_knight> jrib: Started reading respawn and upstart hold on.
[09:49] <Slart> jalansore-: lshw
[09:49] <vfw> DoNoBaN: Ask the folks on #windows     /join #windows
[09:50] <Slart> jalansore-: you might want to pipe the output to a file or use use "more" or "most"
[09:50] <DINESH_> hi
[09:50] <DoNoBaN> vfw, ok probably they have more information about SFS and dynamic partitions, lets go
[09:51] <DINESH_> DINESH_
[09:51] <jrib> the_dark_knight: anyway, the other options I know about are daemontools and just using a "while true; do COMMAND; done" loop.  upstart is probably the "nicest" way I know about
[09:51] <ddsasdsuiq> just try words
[09:51] <Slart> the_dark_knight: this one looks promising as well.. good explanation of how it works as well http://blog.eracc.com/2010/05/08/linux-monitor-a-service-with-a-watchdog-script/
[09:52] <riqdiiz> hi
[09:52] <the_dark_knight> jrib: started readin the man page for upstart and it looks goood
[09:52] <HulkHogan> yelo
[09:52] <jrib> the_dark_knight: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/
[09:52] <bios_> hI! how to install the open ati drivers?
[09:52] <the_dark_knight> Slart: thanks
[09:53] <riqdiiz> Can Ubuntu be repaired and avoid a fresh install?
[09:54] <jrib> riqdiiz: depends on what's wrong
[09:56] <BluebirdShao> almoxarife: I've fixed it. lol
[09:56] <BluebirdShao> almoxarife: thanks your patience.
[09:58] <riqdiiz> i accidentally deleted usr  folder and i am worried  that my sys won't boot if i shut it down. how will i replace it?
[09:59] <Slart> !undelete | riqdiiz
[09:59] <jrib> riqdiiz: you should reinstall probably...
[09:59] <Slart> riqdiiz: but without /usr it might be hard to fix the system
[10:00] <riqdiiz> slart the trash was emptied :-(
[10:00] <enav> hello, im running a LAMP server on my 12.04 desktop, i changed the apache execution user and group to my user and group to avoid any ownership problems, but now when i try to upload database files to phpmyadmin it wont let me do it, changed back the original apache and group values and now it let me upload db files again.... so how can i have apache running  under my name and group and be able to upload db files to phpmyadmin... ??? thanks
[10:01] <Slart> riqdiiz: if you check the links ubottu sent you you'll find that it mentions some tools that are a bit more advanced than the trash can =)
[10:01] <llutz> enav: you don't want to run apache as your user, change it back, add yourself to the www-data group to avoid issues
[10:02] <Slart> riqdiiz: but most likely you're looking at a reinstall.. some of the files recovered might be damaged without you knowing about it resulting in some very weird behaviour in the future
[10:02] <riqdiiz> just a minute .....
[10:02] <enav> i know it bring security problems but i raised a firewall, i need this to be like this to be able to edit my web files right away with no problems at all
[10:02] <enav> llutz: ^
[10:02] <llutz> enav: a "firewall" won't help you
[10:03] <enav> hmmm
[10:03] <rocks3> hi does anyone know if catalyst legacy has been updated to work with xorg 13, or if it will ever be updated?
[10:04] <the_dark_knight> jrib: Slart, I think the upstart or init is for the reboots and respawn is to restart after every abort. Also I don't have /etc/inittab what do I need for this?
[10:04] <aiFrantz> enav : just a question, where did you place the web root folder? you just mentioned about "be able to edit my web files right away with no problem".
[10:04] <the_dark_knight> jrib: Slart, respawn looks promising
[10:04] <jrib> the_dark_knight: "respawn" is something you can add to an init job configuration.  I don't know why you are looking for /etc/inittab
[10:05] <jrib> s/init/upstart init
[10:06] <the_dark_knight> jrib: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9072879/how-to-use-linux-software-watchdog this link was given to me by Slart . I was referring to it from the discussion on this links
[10:06] <jrib> the_dark_knight: ubuntu uses upstart, read the upstart docs
[10:07] <Slart> the_dark_knight: I would go with the "official way" ie the stuff jrib told you about.. the watchdog script will take more work and might need customization (as you noticed with inittab)
[10:08] <jrib> the_dark_knight: you can ask the #upstart guys if upstart will respect the "respawn" lines in /etc/inittab but I doubt it
[10:08] <a_> yo
[10:08] <jrib> the_dark_knight: thus why I said you would need to create an upstart job and include "respawn" in it.  See the upstart cookbook for examples of this
[10:09] <Archaical> i would agree with jrib btw, sorry to just jump in there
[10:09] <Archaical> i was just working on something similiar with a teamspeak 3 job i was working on.
[10:09] <the_dark_knight> Slart: yes the watchdog looks more of a customize way
[10:15] <MestreLion> after uploading a source package to my own PPA, how long does it take to show up in launchpad? dput showed no errors, but its been almost an hour and still no sign of the pcakage in my ppa
[10:15] <Archaical> depends i would think on the domain service launchpad uses and how often they refresh their alias's
[10:15] <Archaical> shouldn't be very long though, not more than an hour or two.
[10:16] <Archaical> (that was a bit of an educated guess btw)
[10:16] <Archaical> no personal experience on launchpad.
[10:17] <riqdiiz> ubottu that was great.
[10:19] <Archaical> and so polite too. =D
[10:19] <riqdiiz> what is a bot?
