[00:00] <toraux_> I'm having an issue where wifi starts fine on bootup and then sometime later packet loss goes through the roof and performance becomes horrible, any ideas?
[00:00] <GeForce88> ubuntu 11.10. where is the screensaver feature and how do i enable screensavers and how do i get electric sheep to work ? all video drivers updated and installed.
[00:00] <Boohbah> Bndrr: you would have to stop the service that is running on that port. nmap does not do that
[00:01] <Timvde> Correct me if I'm wrong: nvidia drivers current will install the current newest drivers and keep them forever, while current-updates will keep them up-to-date whenever nvidia releases a new version,
[00:01] <Timvde> ?
[00:01] <Bndrr> and then how can I close that port ?or stop the service
[00:02] <dasen> Bndrr: one way is to configure  your firewall to block incoming connections to that specified port, try gufw
[00:02] <OerHeks> GeForce88, maybe this page is any help >> http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/10/enable-screensavers-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/
[00:02] <Bndrr> gufw ?
[00:02] <wylde> !ufw | Bndrr
[00:02] <OerHeks> Timvde, yes nvidia will be up2date
[00:03] <pilotbub> where do I find wifi drivers for dell integrated chipset
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: run:  sudo lshw -C network    what is the product line for the wifi?
[00:07] <pilotbub> PCI (sysfs)
[00:08] <pilotbub> broadcom
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: wait, your pci bus is slow
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: is that all it says for the product line?
[00:08] <gensu> Hello
[00:08] <pilotbub> bcm4311
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | pilotbub
[00:09] <pilotbub> thank you
[00:10] <pilotbub> what would you advise for getting STA to an unnetworked laptop
[00:10] <gensu> Quit
[00:11] <GeForce88> OerHeks, yea, but i'm still not finding electric sheep in the pull down list like i did with 10.10i'll keep looking i reckon
[00:12] <OerHeks> GeForce88, electric sheep i don't know
[00:12] <doctrhu> hello all
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: use a wired connection
[00:14] <pilotbub> this is such a pita
[00:14] <StepNjump> Anybody of you guys ever experience that your USB mouse disapears?
[00:14] <StepNjump> I'm plugged in a USB router
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: imagine if you had windows and no driver disks...same deal
[00:15] <pilotbub> windows support OTB
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: there is the offline way using the install CD as a source of packages but a wired conenction will make it a LOT easier
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: not ALL wireless adapters
[00:15] <OerHeks> !offline | pilotbub
[00:15] <pilotbub> my install doesnt appear to have synaptic
[00:16] <OerHeks> true, synaptic is not default installed anymore
[00:16] <pilotbub> ubuntu partnered with dell im surprised its this complex
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: use software centre
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: its not complex. You run an application and click 'enable driver'
[00:17] <egghead> why might I get a blank screen after enabling nvidia drivers? (nvs4200m w/ optimus)
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: how much easier can it get
[00:17] <pilotbub> what app
[00:17] <egghead> should I try disabling optimus?
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: 'additional drivers'
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> egghead: optimus can be a real pain
[00:18] <egghead> ya it can
[00:18] <egghead> but if I disable optimus does that disable the nvidia card
[00:18] <egghead> ?
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: yuo can also use the wired connection to get full updates
[00:20] <egghead> hmm, specifically the xorg log is showing 'no screens found'
[00:21] <pilotbub> how about the install from cd method
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: its on the guide ubottu gave....
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: the wired connection is a lot easier
[00:23] <pilotbub> no patch cable atm
[00:23] <pilotbub> i mounted the ISO
[00:24] <pilotbub> what next?
[00:24]  * wylde_ puts his spoon away and goes for coffee ;)
[00:24] <fishcooker> i've connect the bluetooth device with my ubuntu-box
[00:25] <fishcooker> on what /dev/XXXX it should be mounted
[00:25] <fishcooker> ?
[00:25] <fishcooker> i can't see the log on $ dmesg
[00:25] <Superbest> What's a good size for my xubuntu 11.04 /boot/ partition?
[00:26] <fishcooker> 100MB
[00:26] <fishcooker> superbest
[00:26] <fishcooker> it would be enough
[00:26] <Superbest> fishcooker, 100+ or 100-?
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: read the guide, 3rd time...
[00:26] <fishcooker> if u don't want collect many kernels
[00:26] <DropsOfSerenity> Superbest, don't need more than 100Mb
[00:26] <pilotbub> the guide says double click the deb
[00:27] <pilotbub> software centre cant handle it
[00:27] <fishcooker> 100- superbest
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: it doesn't, not for the offline install.
[00:27] <Superbest> ah okay, thanks fishcooker / DropsOfSerenity
[00:27] <pilotbub> Navigate the install media and install the packages listed below by double clicking or navigate the install media and install these packages consecutively in a terminal
[00:27] <fishcooker> dropsofserenity
[00:27] <fishcooker> can u help solving my probs
[00:28] <L3top> egghead, do you want to try some experiments? May work, may make things worse.
[00:28] <splic> Hello, I have a quick question: I've made a long bash pipeline that really only depends on one variable, what's the easiest way I can reuse it? Thank you.
[00:28] <L3top> egghead: I am currently working on trying to disable the discrete hw for auto detection on a project I work on, but I don't have the hardware.
[00:29] <solco> set -o vi
[00:29] <solco> then esc
[00:29] <solco> you are in vi mode
[00:29] <pilotbub> software centre says its all installed but still no wireless
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: http://paste.ubuntu.com/927257/
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: why you just won't use the wired connection is beyond me, unless you like doing things the hard way just for kicks
[00:31] <doctrhu> can someone pm me to help me install a program ive never used ubuntu before
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: that pastebin is a direct copy/paste from the page ubottu gave
[00:31] <phillijw> doctrhu: just type sudo apt-get install programname
[00:31] <chilired> what do you want to install
[00:31] <Superbest> is ext4 fine for /boot?
[00:31] <pilotbub> fatal; module ssb in ue
[00:31] <dv310p3r> Can I make the launcher smaller?
[00:31] <dv310p3r> Sorry in Unity.
[00:32] <pilotbub> rebooting...
[00:32] <OerHeks> dv310p3r, i use my-unity for control of that sidebar
[00:33] <doctrhu> chilired can i pm plz
[00:33] <chilired> sure
[00:33] <pilotbub> nop same crapola
[00:33] <dv310p3r> OerHeks, that only allows you to make it 32 pixels. I'd like it to go smaller.
[00:34] <pilotbub> good ol linux always ready to disappoint
[00:34] <OerHeks> dv310p3r, nope, maybe it can be done in 12.04
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: windows would be the same
[00:34] <pilotbub> windows works otb
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: get a wired connection and it will work without issue
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: my wifi works ootb in Linux, not in Windows
[00:35] <fishcooker> in which /dev/X my bluetooth device should be mounted.. ive connected my bluetooth device
[00:35] <fishcooker> but i can't see it on $dmesg
[00:35] <pilotbub> I cant even trust the package manager to install the drivers
[00:35] <tired> does anybody know ninjam?
[00:35] <pilotbub> what is this anarchy
[00:35] <Timvde> OerHeks: Nope, running 12.04 and the minimum in the basic settings is still 32
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: get a wired connection, its a laptop so is easily movable, connect to your router using a patch cable and you will have an easy life
[00:35] <pilotbub> yeah but its a LAP TOP
[00:36] <tired> ninjam anybody?
[00:36] <pilotbub> a MOBILE COMPUTER IF YOU WILL
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: yes, I can also read lower case
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: once you get the driver installed it will be fine. Why can you not see where you are falling short, not the OS
[00:37] <wylde> pilotbub: and you are being told to connect to a wired connection long enough to fix your issue.
[00:37] <tired> does anybody know some audio software that runs vsti plugins?
[00:37] <L3top> I would like to complain even though there is an easy solution because things don't work like I expect, not knowing anything about the system.
[00:37] <L3top> If I were you pilotbub, I would ask Ubuntu for my money back.
[00:38] <OerHeks> pilotbub, how are you connected now? use that cable or if you are wireless now, use the unused utp port for ICS internet connection sharing.
[00:38] <wylde> lmao >.<
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> tired: lmms apparently: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=976079
[00:39] <no-name-> hi. I'm trying to access my ~ directory from a live cd but when I type ecryptfs-mount-private I get ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly
[00:39] <tired> thank you
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: ok lets swing it another way. You have a clean install of windows and there is no wireless functionality (wifi not working ootb) and you have no driver CD. What do you do?
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: you know the wired connectin works and the system is a laptop...
[00:41] <knytmare> NORTH KOREA---EPIC FAILURE

[00:43] <lvelinux> ubuntu server 8 does it  have issue with the scsi hard drives its a 4gb one
[00:44] <lotus-blade> driver issue?
[00:44] <no-name-> ahh, got around the "ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly" with chroot but now at "Enter your login passphrase:" my password doesn't work :/ is it asking for that or the long thing you get with the encrypted drive
[00:44] <lvelinux> i get an error that  it can read the cd
[00:45] <pilotbub> it still doesnt work unbelievable
[00:45] <triscuit> there's a way to have it show you the pass
[00:45] <lvelinux> is their a way i can install ubuntu server  from the internet ?
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: did you get fully updated?
[00:45] <pilotbub> nop
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> lvelinux: sure, use the minimal ISO
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: I suggest you do
[00:46] <no-name-> yeah, I recall having this problem before "ERROR: Your passphrase is incorrect" is what I get whether I enter my password or passphrase :(
[00:46] <lvelinux> i have  a ubuntu server 8.00 installing  cd what do i do
[00:46] <lvelinux> i boot off the cd then how can i get  it to ask me the method
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> lvelinux: grab the minimal ISO (12Mb) and use that to instal. It will use the repos to install from
[00:46] <pilotbub> wheres the update thing
[00:47] <lvelinux> ok thank you
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: you can use software centre. Or in CLI:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc   too please
[00:48] <pilotbub> precise
[00:48] <OerHeks> uh oh
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: ask in #ubuntu+1 then please, precise is not supoprted here til release day
[00:49] <pilotbub> ok hopefully this upgrade fixes it
[00:49] <pilotbub> software center says nothing about updates
[00:50] <francine> Anyone familiar with Xubuntu here ?
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: thats fine, but stil ask in #ubuntu+1 only. Precise is not released and not ready yet
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: after it is officially released it will be supported here
[00:51] <pilotbub> ok
[00:51] <airlynx> I installed UbuntuStudio to an external USB hard drive, but now I can't boot into it, can only boot into it using the emergency mode then selecting "Resume Normal Boot" at the menu
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> pilotbub: thanks :)
[00:54] <airlynx> also Grub won't load unless that external drive is plugged in
[00:57] <bobby> Hello
[00:57] <fishcooker> show desktop on ubuntu where
[00:58] <fishcooker> i need shortcut on ubuntu esp unity im on PP
[00:58] <escott> fishcooker, try ctrl-alt-d
[00:58] <bobby> lulz
[00:59] <finish06> airlynx, where is your boot folder @???  which drive?  it will be under /
[00:59] <fishcooker> not work escott
[00:59] <finish06> airlynx, /boot
[00:59] <bobby> cd \ then do a cd to home
[00:59] <bobby> then cd to your user
[00:59] <bazhang> !12.04 | fishcooker
[01:00] <airlynx> finish06, I have a boot folder on both drives, internal and external
[01:00] <bazhang> fishcooker, /join #ubuntu+1 for that
[01:00] <finish06> airlynx, within your bios, what drive is set at the boot drive?  maybe the external is set at boot drive, therefore that is the reason for needing it???
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> fishcooker: in precise if you hold down the SuperL key it will show a lot of shortcuts
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> fishcooker: ctrl+shift+d maybe
[01:01] <spdupee> how can i tell if ati drver is working properly?\
[01:01] <airlynx> finish06, in order to get grub to show up at all I have to select the internal drive from the BIOS, but all installations show up in grub, nothing happens (i.e. black screen) when I select the installation located on the external drive
[01:01] <Bndrr> !es
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> spdupee: sudo lshw -C display      should show drive=fglrx   or similar, meaning its loaded and in use. May help
[01:02] <finish06> airlynx, how is the external connected??
[01:02] <airlynx> finish06, USB 2.0
[01:02] <fishcooker> thanks fellas
[01:02] <wolfric> hey samba patch is out for ubuntu half an hour ago
[01:03] <finish06> thanks wolfbyte
[01:03] <finish06> thanks wolfric
[01:03] <sirknight> -*9+6
[01:03] <escott> airlynx, i think there are two different issues. one is !nomodeset. the other is the configuration of your boot disks and the bios boot order
[01:03] <wolfbyte> I get thanked a lot, wolfy nicks are very popular I guess
[01:04] <finish06> airlynx, idk if it is possible via your motherboard manufacturer to boot from a USB connected external drive...  have you done it in the past with like Windows?  or not?
[01:04] <doctrhu> can someone help me to get kismet running  i got it installed but i dont see a icon for it anywhere
[01:04] <airlynx> yes, I don't have a working CD-ROM, had to install the image on a different USB drive to boot the install process, lol
[01:05] <finish06> escott, why would booting from internal be ok, but only external be black screen if it is nomodeset?
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> doctrhu: http://www.twistedethics.com/2007/04/25/how-to-setup-kismet-in-ubuntu-704/   seems to be a terminal app
[01:05] <Bndrr> how can I select if i want kde or gnome at startup ??
[01:05] <luxgeek> Ok, I'm running mint 12 64bit, wine 1.4 and world of warcraft 4.3.3, wow is crashing just after entering world...here's the pastebing from a term: http://paste.ubuntu.com/927281/
[01:05] <airlynx> finish06, yes (forgot to address my reply)
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: use the cog icon next to your username
[01:06] <bazhang> luxgeek, check mintsupport then
[01:06] <finish06> airlynx, i saw it, no big :)
[01:06] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, ok
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> luxgeek: mint isnt supported here
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> !mint | luxgeek
[01:06] <no-name-> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9681682 <-- I tried this and got "Error mounting eCryptfs: [-2] No such file or directory"
[01:06] <escott> finish06, did he say he had a successful boot of 11.10 on the internal? i thought he was saying he could only boot via the recovery option
[01:06] <luxgeek> Are you kidding me? It's based on ubuntu? (and I AM talking to them too)
[01:06] <no-name-> I cannot access my encrypted home directory from a live CD >:/
[01:07] <bazhang> luxgeek, no not kidding
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> luxgeek: NONE of the 'ubuntu based' spinoffs are supoprted here
[01:07] <finish06> escott, oo.... I thought he did, you are probably right!  you have helped me on many occasions haha!  i bow to your knowledge
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> luxgeek: ubuntu is based non Debian but if you ask for support in #debian you will be pointed here
[01:07] <airlynx> finish06, I did it more or less as an experiment, but if I don't have the USB drive plugged in when I boot up now grub crashes and gives me an error about no device or something
[01:07] <airlynx> finish06, but to load grub I have to boot from the internal drive
[01:08] <escott> finish06, i could have misread his comments.
[01:08] <finish06> airlynx, so you have to have the internal drive set as the boot drive, AND the external drive plugged in?  without both of those variables as mentioned, it fails, correct?
[01:09] <airlynx> finish06, correct
[01:09] <escott> airlynx, finish06 i doubt an mbr on an internal could access a grub.cfg on a usb device
[01:10] <mustu> Hi, I need to read about managing power & cpu utilization in Ubuntu. any good resource
[01:10] <mustu> ?
[01:10] <airlynx> escott, I'm pretty sure the grub.cfg is on the internal drive, if I try to select the external drive from the BIOS it gives me a black screen and never does anything
[01:10] <escott> no-name-, have you tried chrooting into the system. that might be easier
[01:11] <airlynx> finish06, escott, if I select the internal drive from BIOS it loads grub but when I select the external installation from grub it gives me a black screen as well
[01:11] <no-name-> escott: yep
[01:11] <mustu> I've a HP proBook 4530s Ci7 Quad Edition. I feel that Ubnutu does utilizes the CPU at it's maximum. It gets heatup quickly and consumes battery more. When I run Windows 7 I get more time from my battery and less heat issue.
[01:11] <doctrhu> can someone help me to get kismet running  i got it installed but i dont see a icon for it anywhere
[01:11] <escott> airlynx, what do you want your boot process to be. -- why are you messing around with this usb external drive
[01:11] <jenifferrr> hello how do I mount my windows disk? im in live cd
[01:12] <escott> doctrhu, open a terminal, type kismet[TAB]?
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> jenifferrr: its a windows partition
[01:12] <escott> mustu, powertop is a good utility to use, but it can also be a graphics card driver issue
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> jenifferrr: use nautilus
[01:13] <mustu> escott: yes I have ATI Radeon 1gb card... but I haven't installed the proprietery drivers for my vga ..as it doesn't work well
[01:14] <JermBob> hey im still having trouble getting the new hard disks i have installed in my machine to show or be usable can someone help me ?
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: does it show in BIOS?
[01:14] <mustu> escott: in windows performance manager i haave noticed that only 4 cores do work and 4 cores are totaly sleep...  in ubuntu performance graph all 8 cores are active... i feel i need to turn some core off when not needed.. m searching how to do tht also
[01:15] <mustu> escott: powertop seems good. installing it
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> mustu: there is a boot option for max cores
[01:15] <JermBob> ActionParsnip: yup
[01:15] <vexaxv> hey guys i got a lock on my .deb files how do i remove them so i can uninstall em
[01:16] <escott> mustu, you can also play around with the cpu performance governor
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> mustu: boot option is:   maxcores=4
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: ok then run gparted and partition it
[01:17] <JermBob> ActionParsnip: thanks no one would tell me the utility name other than fdisk
[01:18] <JermBob> ActionParsnip: its not installed and the discs are allready partitioned
[01:19] <JermBob> ActionParsnip: do i need to mount them or something ?
[01:19] <vexaxv> anybody know how to fix a locked deb file??
[01:19] <escott> !aptlock | vexaxv
[01:20] <vexaxv> aptlock?
[01:20] <vexaxv> how do i use aptlock
[01:20] <Aquaguy> Hey there, i currently have 2 apache servers installed on my machine, I'm trying to remove them but apt-get remove apache2 only removes one of 'em how can I remove the other one?
[01:20] <howard> can ubuntu be installed on the HTC Shift X9500 (UMPC)
[01:21] <mustu> ActionParsnip: but if i need some high performance would I be abel to turn the remaing four or would need to reboot?
[01:21] <nishttal2> hi i am running gnome3 on ubuntu 11.10
[01:22] <mustu> I just ran cpufreq-info and it says the same against all of my cores "no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU"
[01:22] <pilotbub> how is ubuntu x264 performance
[01:22] <nishttal2> and i keep getting alerts from empathy in my task bar even when i quit it
[01:23] <nishttal2> how can i fix this?
[01:23] <DropsOfSerenity> nishttal2, ctrl-q is quit, just closing it will keep it running
[01:24] <airlynx> escott, the external drive was just a test to see if I could do it and to see the latest Ubuntu, I'd rather not have to have the external plugged in to access grub though
[01:24] <FattyMcFat> c ya guys later good luck with that bootloader
[01:24] <snickers_> How do we kill tcp connections without closeing the applicaiton that is opening
[01:25] <nishttal2> DropsOfSerenity, no i quit from the menu
[01:25] <nishttal2> is there no way to remove the alerts
[01:27] <escott> nishttal2, why not go to the upper right where your name is and click off the notifications
[01:28] <nishttal2> escott, oh that would only disable empathy notifications?
[01:28] <escott> nishttal2, yes
[01:28] <nishttal2> escott, perfect.. thanks
[01:31] <Gracenotes> is there a way to set a keybinding to log off?
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> snickers_: good question
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> snickers_: could stop and start the networking service
[01:32] <Gracenotes> i.e. go back to window manager login screen
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> Gracenotes: could bind it to:   killall -u $USER
[01:33] <snickers_> i dont want to interupt other connections
[01:33] <snickers_> ActionParsnip,
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> snickers_: ah, not sure dude. I'd be interested in the solution though just for curiosity
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> snickers_:  tcpkill
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/kill-tcp-connections-537526/
[01:35] <airlynx> gonna go play around, wish me luck
[01:36] <scientes> how do i get copy-paste to work?
[01:36] <finish06> I wish grub was as pretty as chameleon was with osx86
[01:37] <pangolin> scientes, work in what sense? where?
[01:38] <agentsoul> 12.04 how to exclude some folder from the DASH search? p mode for 12.04
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> finish06: it can be pretty-ish. If you put an image in a certain folder, it will use it as the background image
[01:38] <Gaming4JC> Does anyone know a ProxyCap alternative for Ubuntu? I tried tsocks but it doesn't support UDP :/
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> agentsoul: ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:38] <scientes> pangolin, between apps, without first copy/paste inside the app
[01:38] <scientes> pangolin, like from firefox to xchat
[01:39] <pangolin> scientes, I am not sure what you mean by "without first copy/paste inside the app"
[01:39] <scientes> pangolin, it doesn't work if you just copy in firefox and then try to paste in xchat
[01:39] <scientes> you have to copy in firefox, and then paste in firefox, and THEN it will work in xchat
[01:39] <pangolin> scientes, strange, it is working fine here
[01:39] <scientes> i've seen this problem before
[01:41] <escott> scientes, you might want to install some kind of xclipboard manager (although usually that is done to syncronize the select and cut buffers it might have the side effect of doing what you want)
[01:42] <Jordan_U> finish06: http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/261/
[01:42] <scientes> escott, yeah select/middle-click is also nice
[01:43] <y0om4> hi
[01:43] <frankaa112> plz guys wich of the channel to get some ccv
[01:43] <y0om4> how do i install the latest vlc rather than the one frozen at 11.10 release?
[01:43] <bilyan> exit
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> finish06: put the image in /boot/grub and run:  sudo update-grub
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | y0om4
[01:46] <monadist> when i try to run django... eg 'django-admin runserver' I get the error Error: Settings cannot be imported, because environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined.
[01:46] <monadist> how do i fix this?
[01:47] <pangolin> wild guess here but define DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and also try asking in a django channel
[01:48] <mustu> Hi, I found the following two resources best for laptop heatup issue in Ubuntu http://cisight.com/install-amd-radeon-hd-6470m-and-solve-overheat-on-ubuntu-1110-oneiric/    &    http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide
[01:48] <mustu> following the first one which uses the second link in fact in the guide steps
[01:49] <pilotbub> STA driver recognized but still no wifi
[01:50] <pangolin> pilotbub, Please don't crosspost and if you are running 12.04 ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:50] <pilotbub> i downgraded
[01:50] <pilotbub> still no dice with wifi
[01:50] <pangolin> if you are not running 12.04 don't ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:51] <Gracenotes> ActionParsnip: did not know about custom commands. killall seems to make gdm not pop back (yet to add lightdm), but gnome-session-save looks promising
[01:51] <pilotbub> 2 different ones a ppc no hope for that but x86 is truly disappointing
[01:51] <Guzman> hello ubuntusaurios
[01:52] <Guzman> I have a question how to reset the menu bar where applications and acessories menu are
[01:52] <pangolin> Guzman, unity --reset
[01:54] <Guzman> is that command on my kernel
[01:55] <tapoutmma> I want to fix my partitions...  does gparted 'fix'/extend partitions properly?  I want to boot from livecd, and move my C:\ partition to the left and extend it.  I have :   <free> <system restore> <c:\>  .. I can't extend c:\ with the free because it's on the left.. if it were on the right, it would extend without issue... any ideas?
[01:59] <escott> tapoutmma, you should take a backup before you do anything but yes it should be able to move/resize as needed
[01:59] <no-name-> I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. I accidentally put sudo make install instead of sudo make altinstall when building python2.7.. now gnome is acting screwy... some programs don't start, panel applets crash... how do I fix it?
[01:59] <jenifferrr> where do I find my windows partition in the terminal?
[02:00] <deper29> jenifferrr, which drive is it on?
[02:00] <jenifferrr> c:
[02:00] <BarkingFish> jenifferrr, if it's mounted, it's normally under /media/windows
[02:00] <deper29> no, I mean, sdb1, sdb2,??
[02:00] <BarkingFish> or /mnt/windows depending on where ubuntu puts them
[02:01] <jenifferrr>  none
[02:01] <jenifferrr> deper29: dont know
[02:01] <jenifferrr> im new
[02:01] <pangolin> jenifferrr, paste the output of "sudo blkid" no quotes to paste.ubuntu.com please
[02:01] <pangolin> jenifferrr, then make sure to give us the url of the paste
[02:03] <pangolin> jenifferrr, actually you don't even need to paste it. look for TYPE="ntfs"  and that will be your windows partition, mine is /dev/sdb1
[02:04] <finish06> thanks ActionParsnip !!!!!
[02:04] <deper29> jenifferrr, here is how I would mount my windows drive: sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
[02:05] <deper29> so do what pangolin says and then run that command and you should be able to access windows stuff
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> finish06: simple stuff dude
[02:08] <airlynx> I'm back, booted into both systems somewhat okay, booted to my internal drive now, gonna wipe the external drive and start over, but I need to remove the settings for the external drive from grub, but there's a catch.  Before I did this I had grub, now I think I have grub2, and the contents of the /boot directory on each the internal and external are completely different.  Where do I even start?
[02:08] <no-name-> I did a sudo make install of python2.7 when I should have done sudo make altinstall.. it's messed some things, up some programs won't start. how do I reverse it?
[02:11] <airlynx> I'm checking in Synaptic on both the external and internal system, external drive reported that I had grub2 installed, internal drive reports that I have grub installed.  But I select the internal drive at BIOS to load grub, and get a menu that looks like grub2, wtf is going on here?
[02:11] <Guzman> pangolin, how to use unity command is not available
[02:13] <escott> airlynx, there is a boot-info script which might be useful to you
[02:13] <jiffe2> anyone know how to troubleshoot printer printing blank pages ?  I have an HP laserjet 5m and I'm printing over the network, I can print to it fine from within windows
[02:13] <no-name-> anyone?
[02:13] <escott> airlynx, http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/
[02:15] <escott> no-name-, if you make uninstall you will likely hose your python 2.x install, but you could hope to recover it by reinstalling with apt
[02:16] <airlynx> perhaps I should just back up my files and do a complete reinstall, lol
[02:16] <no-name-> escott: what dir do I make uninstall from?
[02:17] <escott> no-name-, the same one you ran make install from. make sure you have an install cd in case you need to reinstall the os
[02:17] <no-name-> I do
[02:17] <no-name-> make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.
[02:17] <no-name-> yeah. I guess I'll just reinstall Ubuntu, hehe
[02:18] <airlynx> escott, thank you for the boot info script info, I'll let you know how it works out
[02:18] <no-name-> or maybe I should just build 2.6 from source?
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> jiffe2: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[02:19] <kevdog> aww shucks, same damn people here today as yesterday :)
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> kevdog: I'm sure there are subtle differences
[02:19] <jiffe2> AcidRain2012, oneiric
[02:19] <kevdog> ActionParsnip: hardly discernable
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> jiffe2: you could delete the printer then install the latest HPLIP frmo the HPLIP site, then re-add
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> kevdog: possibly
[02:20] <finish06> ActionParsnip, indeed!!  I got it!  thank you for the accurate link.  that is often the hardest part before doign something "off radar" to me, finding a link I trust!!!  I don't want to move files, etc when I not know what I am doiong.
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> finish06: you'll learn with time
[02:22] <wylde> keeping recent backups is good too!
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> oh definitely
[02:23] <kevdog> any reason rsync kind of craps out on me after transfer of between 2-4 gb worth of data?
[02:23] <kevdog> thats my problem with backups!
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> kevdog: what about a cp instead, is that ok?
[02:24] <wylde> I actually turned the machine I use for backups into an ltsp server and have all the homes on a cron with rsync to pull from each users /home. If a machine ends up with an unbootable HD it'll boot of the network. :)
[02:25] <kevdog> Haven't tried cp specifically however I guess I might off indirectly since Ive dragged and droppped in the gui over smb which does work -- which should imply its not a networking/network card issue
[02:25] <vexaxv> i got a .deb file with a little lock icon on it how do i uninstall debs like this it was creating using checkinstall
[02:26] <wylde> vexaxv: if you used sudo with checkinstall root owns the resulting package.
[02:26] <phix> vexaxv: you uninstall using the package management app
[02:26] <vexaxv> k
[02:26] <phix> vexaxv: like aptitude ot synaptic
[02:26] <wylde> vexaxv: what phix said, I misread the question.
[02:27] <vexaxv> k got it thanks guys
[02:27] <phix> unless you mean you want to delete the file
[02:27] <phix> awesome, glad i could help
[02:27] <Guzman> somebody please give me option to reset the menu bar of my ubuntu my dad came and remove all menus and messed stuff up I want default layout please
[02:27] <vexaxv> well i did uninstall but the .deb with the lock icon it created is still in my folder
[02:28] <airlynx> escott, here is the output of the boot info script: http://pastebin.com/nVcSVj7k but I don't really understand it
[02:28] <phix> Guzman: easiest way is to move or delete your .gconf and maybe .config and .local directories from home directory
[02:29] <wylde> vexaxv: you can just chmod the file, or sudo rm /path/to/filename. Just be careful when using sudo with rm. Typos can cause issues that way.
[02:29] <phix> and you should set your display to lock and require a password plus make your dad an account he can use and wreck :)
[02:29] <vexaxv> Checking for Boost iostreams library version >= 1.34.1... (cached) no
[02:30] <vexaxv> im trying to install wesnoth 10
[02:30] <vexaxv> but this version of boost iostream isnt in the repos
[02:30] <vexaxv> i got version 1.40 somethin
[02:30] <wylde> !info wesnoth
[02:30] <vexaxv> anybody play wesnoth and compile 10 on there own?
[02:31] <vexaxv> anyone?
[02:31] <wylde> vexaxv: not I. The only package I've built renetly is squashfs-tools so I could get it with xz compression. :)
[02:31] <vexaxv> lol
[02:31] <wylde> recently*
[02:32] <vexaxv> well the last requisite i need is boost iostream
[02:32] <vexaxv> i got 1.40 somethin downloaded but it needs 1.36
[02:32] <vexaxv> >.<
[02:32] <wylde> hmm
[02:32] <vexaxv> dunno why i cant just use 1.46
[02:32] <vexaxv> or whatever it is
[02:32] <vexaxv> yeah 1.46
[02:33] <vexaxv> You'll need to have these libraries and their development headers to build Wesnoth:
[02:33] <vexaxv>  boost_iostreams >= 1.36.0
[02:33] <vexaxv> crappppppppp >.>
[02:33] <trism> vexaxv: notice the >= part
[02:33] <wylde> vexaxv: I don't suppose the source package came from official repos. I don't think apt-get build-dep will work with 3rd party source. But I'm not sure
[02:34] <vexaxv> greater than or equals too
[02:34] <vexaxv> ive got 1.46
[02:34] <vexaxv> it did
[02:35] <escott> airlynx, i think i can see what went wrong
[02:35] <trism> vexaxv: sudo apt-get build-dep wesnoth
[02:35] <vexaxv> i got 1.42 boost-iostreams
[02:35] <vexaxv> wont work withought the right boost io file
[02:35] <pangolin> !enter | vexaxv
[02:35] <vexaxv> ah sorry
[02:35] <trism> vexaxv: I doubt you do, you need the -dev packages (it is built against 1.46 in precise)
[02:36] <vexaxv> -dev packages?
[02:36] <vexaxv> in the rep if u look up boost-iostreams theres only 1.4 +
[02:36] <trism> vexaxv: just type: sudo apt-get build-dep wesnoth-1.8;
[02:36] <vexaxv> not 1.36
[02:36] <vexaxv> lol i dont want 1.8
[02:36] <vexaxv> i want 1.10
[02:36] <escott> airlynx, it appears you had grub1 installed on sda with sda5 as the partition containing /boot. you think installed ubuntu to sdb, but installed grub to the mbr of sda, and it needs to load sdb1 as the partition containing /boot. thats likely not supported by the bios hence your non-bootable system.
[02:37] <trism> vexaxv: it will not install wesnoth-1.8, it will just install the libraries necessary to build
[02:37] <JulinBM>  /msg NickServ identify 34451584
[02:37] <vexaxv> ohh
[02:37] <escott> airlynx, to fix things up boot a livecd and chroot into the respective systems and grub-install to the respective devices, you might also want to update the sda system to using grub2 instead of using grub1
[02:37] <vexaxv> quick question why build "dep"
[02:37] <vexaxv> dependencies?
[02:37] <trism> vexaxv: yes
[02:37] <vexaxv> ah
[02:37] <vexaxv> k hang on
[02:38] <pangolin> JulinBM, change your nickserv password
[02:38] <airlynx> escott, okay but I did get it to boot from the external drive, right now I don't really care anymore I'd rather just remove any record of the external drive from grub
[02:38] <vexaxv> E: Unable to find a source package for wesnoth-1.8
[02:39] <trism> vexaxv: which version of ubuntu are you on
[02:39] <vexaxv> 11.10
[02:39] <JulinBM> ok
[02:39] <airlynx> escott, right now I cannot boot my computer without the external drive connected. If select the internal drive at the BIOS it will look for the external drive right away and then kicks me out to a grub rescue prompt with an error message that the external drive does not exist
[02:40] <phrakt> did anyone elses 12.04 change the close, minimize, and maximize buttons over to the other side?
[02:40] <JulinBM> pangolin, but i don't know
[02:40] <wylde> vexaxv: try without the trailing version numbers, it should look for the most recent anyway.
[02:40] <Guzman> my .config directory delete it all? which part of it should I delete? phix
[02:40] <trism> vexaxv: maybe you don't have the source repos enabled, check software-properties-gtk
[02:40] <vexaxv> hang on
[02:41] <escott> airlynx, so go ahead and boot the external drive, and then chroot yourself into the installed system. you can upgrade to grub2 in that system at that point if you wish, or just rerun grub-install /dev/sda
[02:41] <pangolin> JulinBM, /msg nickserv help set password
[02:41] <xangua> phrakt: for pangolin support /join #ubuntu+1
[02:41] <vexaxv> i didnt but i do now hang on ill retry
[02:41] <phrakt> thank you xangua
[02:41] <trism> vexaxv: you will need to sudo apt-get update; after changing it
[02:41] <vexaxv> k thanks
[02:41] <JulinBM> pangolin thanks
[02:41] <pangolin> JulinBM, welcome
[02:42] <JulinBM> thank you
[02:42] <airlynx> escott, just so I'm clear, I can run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" from the external drive to remove its record from grub?
[02:43] <JulinBM> pangolin, I always do I do these things in frenode?
[02:44] <vexaxv> its takin forever
[02:44] <vexaxv> dang
[02:44] <cchildress> hi everyone. i've got this weird problem i've not encountered, and as i'm returning to linux after a few years i'm not familiar with grub 2. i have three hard drives and one dvdr, all sata. i had windows 7 installed on /dev/sda. i installed ubuntu to /dev/sdb because the ubuntu installer wouldn't recognize /dev/sda (even though it installed grub there!) (cont)
[02:44] <pangolin> JulinBM, I did not understand your question
[02:44] <JulinBM> pangolin, quero dizer, antes de entrar no canal?
[02:44] <cchildress> so after installation, i can boot into ubuntu but windows isn't an option. however, now ubuntu detects both ntfs partitions on /dev/sda and will mount them, no problem. i want to add windows to the choice of bootable os. what's teh best way to do this?
[02:44] <JulinBM> pangolin, well, sorry...
[02:44] <escott> airlynx, from the external drive it adds its record to the mbr. from a chroot into the internal drive (with the external as the boot device) it installs the internal drives record to the mbr
[02:45] <pangolin> JulinBM, use the server window to send nickserv command
[02:45] <kevdog> Whats a good pdf joiner program to join a lot of pdfs?
[02:45] <pangolin> JulinBM, that way you will not send it to channel by accindent
[02:45] <JulinBM> pangolin, I always log into freenode, before entering the channel
[02:45] <trism> kevdog: pdftk works pretty well
[02:45] <airlynx> escott, so how is that different from running it right now while I'm booted to the internal drive?
[02:46] <JulinBM> pangolin, ok! is this
[02:46] <kevdog> pdftk -- Does this require kde libraries?
[02:46] <escott> airlynx, in other words. if you dont chroot you have the version of grub on the external (grub2) if you chroot you have grub1. if you don't chroot your /boot is sdb1 on the external and grub-install by default points to that, within the chroot it looks like sda5/boot is /boot and by default it points to that
[02:46] <JulinBM> pangolin, it was an accident
[02:46] <vexaxv> dang this is takin forever
[02:46] <trism> kevdog: it uses very few libraries, apt-cache depends pdftk
[02:46] <escott> airlynx, i thought you couldn't boot the internal at all
[02:47] <escott> airlynx, if you have booted the internal then just grub-install /dev/sda
[02:47] <Bndrr>  hi, how can I encrypt a file or a directory ?
[02:47] <pangolin> JulinBM, I know. but 1500 users in here saw your password. That is why I told you to change it.
[02:47] <airlynx> escott, I'm running on the internal right now, so okay, just did it
[02:47] <kevdog> trism: Installing it now
[02:48] <airlynx> escott, I'll be back in a few minutes, gonna go test it out
[02:48] <JulinBM> pangolin, ok,  I've changed
[02:48] <pangolin> :)
[02:48] <JulinBM> pangolin, I type in the server room I see only ok?
[02:49] <trism> kevdog: basic usage is just: pdftk pdf_1 pdf_2 ... pdf_n output combined.pdf
[02:49] <escott> Bndrr, gpg is great for single files and one-off encryption. ecryptfs for regularly used folders
[02:50] <JulinBM> pangolin, I'm new this universe
[02:50] <pangolin> !es | JulinBM
[02:50] <Bndrr> escott, others ?
[02:50] <pangolin> JulinBM, Welcome to our little universe :)
[02:51] <JulinBM> kk, ok. Sorry, but i'm speak portugues from Brasil
[02:52] <JulinBM> pangolin, kk, ok. Sorry, but i'm speak portugues from Brasil
[02:52] <pangolin> !br
[02:52] <escott> Bndrr, rot13?
[02:52] <JulinBM> pangolin, I know this, but was a error
[02:52] <pangolin> JulinBM, ok.
[02:52] <kevdog> pdftk -- looking like the bomb -- very full featured
[02:54] <Bndrr> thx.
[02:54] <vexaxv> heyw hat was the code for wesnoth 1.8 again
[02:54] <vexaxv> to get the dep files
[02:54] <JulinBM> pangolin, I entered the channel ubuntu-br, but now I try to help with bluetooth and still could not.
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: sudo apt-get -f install
[02:54] <trism> vexaxv: apt-get build-dep wesnoth-1.8;
[02:54] <escott> Bndrr, the main programs are pretty much limited to three (although you may find guis for some of these) gpg, ecryptfs, mdcrypt (but thats for devices not files or folders)
[02:54] <gr8tripstr> can anyone help me install utorrent server?
[02:54] <trism> vexaxv: you can actually use any package and it will find the source package and get the build deps
[02:55] <gr8tripstr> can anyone help me install utorrent server?
[02:56] <gr8tripstr> anyone here help out noobs?
[02:56] <xangua> http://askubuntu.com/questions/104094/how-to-install-utorrent-step-by-step gr8tripstr
[02:56] <MrUnagi> How can I modprobe nbd at boot
[02:56] <gr8tripstr> thanks xangua! so i jus read...lol got it
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: run:  echo "nbd" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null
[02:57] <airlynx> escott, thank you very much, that worked, now theoretically if I wanted to turn that external drive into a LiveCD (which was what I was trying to do in the first place) what would I need to do?
[02:57] <MrUnagi> Or permanently
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: yes it will get loaded at boot
[02:58] <escott> airlynx, i think you just need to do a grub-install /dev/sdb once you have booted the external drive
[02:58] <escott> airlynx, but it still requires some bios support that not all bioses will have
[02:58] <airlynx> escott, maybe I should do some research before I try it again, lol, but thank you very much for your help
[02:59] <escott> airlynx, the bios on your system probably does (based on your ability to boot with grub on sda pointing to sdb
[03:00] <MrUnagi> ActionParsnip: Can /dev/nbd0p1 be auto mounted afterward?
[03:00] <airlynx> escott, my system does not have a working CD-ROM drive, I did all this with 2 USB hard drives (installed the Ubuntu install image on a second HDD) so I know my BIOS has full capability to do so
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: you could add the mount command in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line and mount it, it may work if you add it in fstab then simply add: mount -a    in rc.local
[03:01] <MrUnagi> Seems nbd didn't load
[03:02] <MrUnagi> ActionParsnip: I though about that but it requires sudo
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: or add the modprobe command in /etc/rc.local
[03:03] <MrUnagi> Will rc.local run as root
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: indeed
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: add commands above the exit 0 line or they won't run
[03:04] <vexaxv> well that fixed the issue however now it says i need boost library
[03:04] <MrUnagi> So modprobe nbd && mount /dev/nbd0p1 /media/foo?
[03:05] <trism> vexaxv: what does it say exactly?
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: sure :)
[03:07] <vexaxv> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CEWXtRS7
[03:08] <MrUnagi> ActionParsnip: DIDN'T WORK :(
[03:08] <MrUnagi> sorry caps
[03:08] <trism> vexaxv: libboost-system1.46-dev
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: did you reboot?
[03:08] <MrUnagi> Yes
[03:08] <vexaxv> synpatic?
[03:08] <MrUnagi> Shutdown -r now
[03:08] <trism> vexaxv: if you prefer, or just: sudo apt-get install package;
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: very weird
[03:09] <trism> vexaxv: also very helpful when compiling: apt-cache search -n libsomething dev
[03:09] <vexaxv> now im missing boost thread library lol
[03:09] <vexaxv> ill download that too >.<
[03:10] <vexaxv> i thought i already downloaded all this..
[03:10] <trism> vexaxv: might want: libboost1.46-all-dev if you don't want to track them all down, they may be new deps for the 1.10 version
[03:10] <MrUnagi> Oh wait
[03:10] <MrUnagi> I forgot a command im sorry
[03:11] <hieunguyen> I backed up my harddisk by using CloneZilla. Now I want to read the image file created by CloneZilla to extract some files. I followed the instruction here: http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/43_read_ntfsimg_content.faq#43_read_ntfsimg_content.faq . When I run the command "cat sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.* | gzip -d -c | ntfsclone --restore-image -o sda1.img -" it said: ntfsclone v2011.4.12AR.4 (libntfs-3g)
[03:11] <hieunguyen> ERROR: Input file is not an image! (invalid magic)
[03:11] <hieunguyen> how do i fix it?
[03:11] <vexaxv> damn too many deps..
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> hieunguyen: i'd ask in a clonezilla channel
[03:12] <vexaxv> holy crap its building
[03:12] <vexaxv> lol
[03:12] <vexaxv> after 1000 deps
[03:12] <vexaxv> >.<
[03:13] <trism> vexaxv: success!
[03:13] <vexaxv> :) ty
[03:13] <hieunguyen> ActionParsnip: if you know the channel name, please point me to
[03:13] <hieunguyen> otherwise, i will google
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> hieunguyen: #clonezilla
[03:13] <vexaxv> when u build
[03:13] <vexaxv> u can use scons
[03:13] <vexaxv> so it says just type scons
[03:13] <vexaxv> its building
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> hieunguyen: didn't think to try the obvious first...?
[03:13] <vexaxv> is that gonna install it for me or what
[03:13] <hieunguyen> ActionParsnip: good advice
[03:14] <vexaxv> or just build itself into the folder
[03:14] <haux> Unrelated to Ubuntu, but does anyone know of a firefox plugin that will let you start a new download and merge with an existing partially downloaded file?
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> hieunguyen: ;)
[03:14] <trism> vexaxv: it will probably just compile it, there may be an install target, should check out the README
[03:14] <vexaxv> hm
[03:14] <vexaxv> if it does install can i delete the folder that i used to compile it with
[03:15] <vexaxv> the source code folder
[03:15] <gr8tripstr> is there any reason to use utorrent server? it appears theres a built in torrent downloader...
[03:15] <xangua> gr8tripstr: you are the one that asked for it, you tell us
[03:16] <wylde> gr8tripstr: if all you wanted was to download using torrents, the you most certainly didn't need the server.
[03:16] <donavan01> can someone tell me how to search for file from the command line or do I have to have nautilus to do that
[03:16] <gr8tripstr> haha, well i love it on windows...thought i needed it but then when i clicked on a torrent it didnt even load in the utorrent and just started downloading on its own
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> gr8tripstr: no idea, familiarity I guess
[03:17] <gr8tripstr> ya no need for utorrent til they get the gui finished
[03:17] <trism> vexaxv: yes, you can delete the source directory once you install it if you wish (often, if they use autotools they may have an uninstall target, so it may be good to keep those around for later)
[03:17] <escott> haux, very much server dependent. not all servers support http resume. firefox will resume when it can
[03:18] <MrUnagi> ActionParsnip: Rebooting again I bet it works this time
[03:18] <vexaxv> k brb hang on
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: here's hoping :D
[03:18] <MrUnagi> :)
[03:18] <engkur> i use transmission for torrent
[03:18] <MrUnagi> Setting up a "Dropbox" for my dad
[03:18] <MrUnagi> Learned today I despise ntfs
[03:18] <engkur> and aria2 for textmode torrent
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> engkur: if you leave the system on and enabled the web ui, you can remote manage torrents via web interface or even android phone / iphone etc
[03:19] <haux> escott, I understand that. However, if the session ends with the site, firefox will no longer let you resume a partially downloaded file, whether the server allows it or not. I used to use a windows program called GetRight back in dialup days. You could resume a download days after starting it.
[03:19] <MrUnagi> I think everything is working except the mount
[03:19] <scientes> haux, works for me
[03:19] <scientes> with ff 11
[03:19] <scientes> but yeah, i still end up using wget -c sometimes....
[03:20] <gr8tripstr> ya transmission all the way
[03:20] <scientes> gr8tripstr, thats only for torrents
[03:20] <scientes> but wget -c will always work....
[03:20] <haux> scientes, seriously? If you clear your download list and start a new download, ff 11 will ask you if you want to resume the partially downloaded file?
[03:20] <gr8tripstr> ya i figured that out after i spent an hour trying to install utorrent server ( which i did suceed) haha
[03:20] <scientes> MrUnagi, yeah ntfs sucks, but what specifically are your problems with it?
[03:21] <MrUnagi> scientes: Has problems with special characters
[03:21] <scientes> haux, oh no, then use wget, its cross platform, and will work with started downloads from any program
[03:21] <MrUnagi> But more maddening....Leno chmod, or chown
[03:21] <scientes> MrUnagi, actually no, it doesn't. NTFS works will all characters but / and NULL
[03:21] <MrUnagi> S/Leno/no
[03:22] <scientes> MrUnagi, its explorer that adds those limitations, but the filesystem is fine
[03:22] <gr8tripstr> so whats so cool about ubuntu...i jus find everything to be twice as hard...i guess i only know windows tho
[03:22] <escott> haux, you could try wget, but if its requiring some kind of login thats going to be tough
[03:22] <scientes> gr8tripstr, what do you need help with?
[03:22] <haux> scientes, the issue is, I mostly have a need for this on youtube. Using DownloadHelper to download youtube videos. There isn't really a direct link to the file that I can use with wget. At least not that I've been able to find
[03:22] <MrUnagi> Ok well I don't like it
[03:22] <napalm54> In ubuntu 12.04, I am trying to set an audio device to surround sound, but I do not see an option to.  Anyone know how to?
[03:22] <scientes> haux, ahh, well with youtube, you can just install htop, fine the PID of the flash process, and then copy out of /proc/$UID/fd/N
[03:23] <scientes> haux, it use to be in /tmp for easy copying, but that stopped quite a few flash version ago
[03:23] <gr8tripstr> scientes, i really don't know...jus new exploring this os...trying to find some reasons to stick with it and not go back to windows 8
[03:23] <mhaz> haux-xvideoservicethief
[03:24] <scientes> gr8tripstr, its a way better OS, there are tons of things that windows people think they are "haxors" for using in windows, that are just standard in linux, like mounting CD's for example, that is one line in linux, and part of the core os
[03:24] <teligard> Hi all.  Could someone help me get my audio working in Ubuntu 11.10?
[03:24] <haux> scientes, the DownloadHelper addon lets you download youtube videos. That's not the problem. I was just looking to see if there was an addon for a different download manager that had better support for pausing/resuming downloads.
[03:24] <scientes> gr8tripstr, and the whole OS upgrades as one piece, which works much better and is far less annoying
[03:24] <scientes> haux, yeah but downloadhelper requires you to download the video twice
[03:25] <haux> scientes, I don't think so? You don't have to load the video to download it.
[03:25] <scientes> haux, you could use youtube-dl alternatively, but b/c the double-download it is not good for my purpose-----apt-get install youtube-dl
[03:25] <haux> I use it every day.
[03:25] <scientes> haux, yeah, it downloads it twice
[03:25] <gr8tripstr> gotcha, ya i did upgrade the os and it was super smooth
[03:25] <scientes> the only way to not download twice is to take it from the flash process haux
[03:25] <MrUnagi> ActionParsnip: /etc/fstab just needs /dev/nbd0p2 /media/foo?
[03:25] <napalm54> gr8tripstr: I am an avid Windows user (for games), but I also love Ubuntu and Linux in general. Can take some time to get use to though
[03:25] <mhaz> haux-http://xviservicethief.sourceforge.net/
[03:25] <mhaz> pay attention
[03:26] <haux> Well, for me it doesn't. I've downloading 4 videos right now, once. I don't need to let the video load to do this. I open the page, start the download, close the page.
[03:26] <scientes> gr8tripstr, there are bazillions more reason, like that old hardware never goes "unsupported" where you are stuck to an old windows cause the manufacture wants you to buy new stuff, for example
[03:26] <haux> mhaz, I'm checking that out
[03:26] <napalm54> Anyone know how to set an audio device to surround sound in Ubuntu 12.04, was easy to in 11.10, but cant find the option now.
[03:26] <scientes> gr8tripstr, read this: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
[03:26] <gr8tripstr> so whats the deal with asking for my password constantly...
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: it needs file system type too, the other lines will five clues
[03:26] <gr8tripstr> thanks guys i love the feedback
[03:26] <napalm54> gr8tripstr: Protection, you can turn that off, but that isn't a good idea
[03:26] <scientes> ^^
[03:27] <MrUnagi> Is nbd the fs type?
[03:27] <napalm54> gr8tripstr: Kind of like UAC in Windows vista/7
[03:27] <gr8tripstr> k ya thats what i've read
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: its will be vfat, ntfs, ext4 etc etc
[03:27] <scientes> napalm54, except it actually works
[03:27] <gr8tripstr> ya i always disable that uac hah
[03:27] <napalm54> scientes: I was not sure UAC did not work
[03:27] <scientes> gr8tripstr, UAC is fundamentally broken www.pretentiousname.com/misc/win7_uac_whitelist2.html napalm54
[03:28] <scientes> CALCULATOR runs elevated in windows
[03:28] <napalm54> Needs more processing time
[03:28] <napalm54> lol
[03:29] <gr8tripstr> so is google chrome not the most awesome browser ever?
[03:29] <napalm54> I have had to turn UAC off, some programs had issues installing with it.  But UAC isnt needed if you are smart and/or have good internet security (Kaspersky :) )
[03:29] <teligard> UAC is funny.  It bludgeons you with requests and warnings, and dulls your senses until you hit that do it key one the 210th time (when you shouldn't have), then the general copout is "weren't you warned"?
[03:29] <napalm54> Chrome is awesome :)
[03:29] <MrUnagi> Is scientes  the windows defender (pun)
[03:29] <napalm54> I am pretty much using everything Google right now, except Chrome OS
[03:30] <napalm54> Windows Firewall
[03:30] <gr8tripstr> chrome os?
[03:30] <teligard> Any ideas on how to get my audio working?
[03:30] <napalm54> Another OS from Google, based on linux, supposed to be very light weight
[03:30] <napalm54> teligard
[03:30] <teligard> It's a hit or miss proposition for me so far
[03:30] <napalm54> what Version of ubuntu?
[03:30] <teligard> 11.10
[03:30] <gr8tripstr> nice, how can u go wrong...
[03:31] <scientes> gr8tripstr, google chrome is proprietary software that neglects your privacy
[03:31] <napalm54> I believe you can search sound in unity, bring up the sound options and select the audio device you want
[03:31] <napalm54> scientes: How so?
[03:31] <scientes> gr8tripstr, chromium IS available in ubuntu, but google doesn't make it easy to package
[03:31] <MrUnagi> I lost contact with my server :(
[03:31] <MrUnagi> Fun!
[03:31] <napalm54> scientes: Chromium is in the ubuntu software center right?
[03:32] <scientes> napalm54, it keeps a uniquie ID from downloading, that it sends with every google request, and tries to get you to link the browser with a google account (BTW you can only get google accounts with a mobile phone these days)
[03:32] <MrUnagi> Uh....I think I really messed something up
[03:33] <MrUnagi> Network is up but I cant reach my ubuntu box
[03:33] <scientes> napalm54, http://spot.livejournal.com/312320.html
[03:33] <napalm54> scientes: I am already linked lol
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[03:33] <teligard> napalm54: I'm going to reboot and see if anything changes.  I am not running unity
[03:33] <ominomi> :)
[03:33] <haux> mhaz, from the looks of it, that may be even more than I was hoping for. I'm trying to install it now, but I'm getting a Not Found error in the software center
[03:33] <MrUnagi> I don't know why my fstab entry would make it unreadable
[03:34] <step_init> *UNITY*
[03:34] <MrUnagi> Unreahable
[03:35] <MrUnagi> Blah I hate it when I lose ash
[03:35] <MrUnagi> Ssh
[03:36] <MrUnagi> Oh well good night
[03:37] <mhaz> haux- download the .deb from the site
[03:37] <mhaz> haux- gdebi will install it
[03:38] <austin182> The Linux Community is amazing!
[03:38] <jenifferrr> hello
[03:38] <vexaxv> whats the difference between wesnoth and wesnothd
[03:38] <jenifferrr> how do I see my windows partition files?
[03:38] <jenifferrr> I want to move them to other partition
[03:39] <jenifferrr> please I am new in linux
[03:39] <jenifferrr> im in a live cd
[03:39] <wylde> vexaxv: wesnoth = client and wesnothd = server. Or so I'd suspect.
[03:40] <vexaxv> yay finally got wesnoth 10 compiled
[03:40] <vexaxv> is there anyway i can take a source compiled game and put the shortcut in the unity bar?
[03:42] <jenifferrr> please anyone
[03:42] <cperales> napalm54: yes
[03:42] <wylde> !ntfs | jenifferrr
[03:42] <napalm54> cperales: ?
[03:43] <cperales> napalm54: sorry i just read your question about chromium
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: sure, just make a .desktop file for it in /usr/share/applications
[03:43] <Superbest> Hi, I'm using the xubuntu 11.10 alternate install cd for i386 from a usb drive and my install is failing on the "select and install software" step
[03:43] <napalm54> cperales: Oh ok lol
[03:44] <jDog> is ubuntu good for serving a php/mysql stack?
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: I suggest you use checkinstall to make a deb of your efforts for easy installation if you need it again :)
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> !lamp | jDog
[03:44] <vexaxv> i sconned it
[03:44] <vexaxv> its wesnoth 10
[03:44] <vexaxv> but yes i love the check install ty :)
[03:45] <vexaxv> so how do i do the desktop thing
[03:45] <jDog> hmm
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: look at the files in the applications folder, you'll see what's going on :)
[03:46] <wylde> vexaxv: you can even get your very own ppa on launchpad to keep it backed up :) and even have launchpad do builds for other arch's
[03:46] <vexaxv> i gotta be honest
[03:46] <vexaxv> u guys have frickin lost me
[03:46] <vexaxv> lol
[03:46] <vexaxv> im still sorta new
[03:46] <FloodBot1> vexaxv: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:47] <vexaxv> how do i place a shortcut on th eunity bar
[03:47] <vexaxv> the*
[03:48] <gr8tripstr> ya thats a great link about the uac crap...microsoft are definitely some bastards
[03:49] <austin182> Can I dual Boot Windows XP pro and Ubuntu?
[03:49] <wuero> buenas colegas necesito un favor ayuda urguente para configurar tor
[03:49] <jDog> maybe
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: open the /usr/share/applications folder and you will see all the launchers Unity uses. If you copy one and edit it so it runs your command it can be yused
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> austin182: sure
[03:49] <wylde> austin182: yes
[03:50] <vexaxv> ah thanks
[03:50] <vexaxv> :)
[03:50] <wuero> ya cheke todos los tutoriales que hay en la red
[03:50] <wylde> !es | wuero
[03:50] <austin182> sweet thanks guys! linux people are so nice
[03:51] <vexaxv> says i dont have permission
[03:51] <vexaxv> how do i sudo move a file to somewhere else
[03:51] <wylde> vexaxv: sudo mv /path/to/file /path/to/destination
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> austin182: install windows first, leave free space if you are clean installing, or the Ubuntu installer can resize the current NTFS
[03:51] <gr8tripstr> I think im gonna burn all my windows discs...i heard they scream "don't use linux" before they turn to ashes...
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: run:  gksudo nautilus /usr/share/applications
[03:53] <austin182> Okay I will do that sorta makes sense I am new to this computer stuff
[03:54] <vexaxv> k i put the wesnoth file in applications
[03:54] <vexaxv> but when i click the dash i cant find wesnoth
[03:54] <vexaxv> :(
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: its not the file, you need to make a NEW desktop file to run your command
[03:55] <vexaxv> do i have to restart unity
[03:55] <vexaxv> huh?
[03:55] <vexaxv> how do i do that
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: I never said to copy the file.
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: copy one of the existing files in that folder and make a copy, then open the copy in gedit and change it
[03:56] <vexaxv> oo
[03:56] <vexaxv> smart dude over here
[03:56] <vexaxv> lol
[03:56] <vexaxv> whats the terminal command for copy n paste
[03:58] <wylde> vexaxv: cp /path/to/file /path/to/destination
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: if you copy one that's already a game, it will appear in the games section
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you will need sudo as the folder is owned by root
[03:59] <austin182> Ubuntu boots up into recovery mood every time...how do I make Ubuntu boot straight to my desktop?
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you can do the copy and edit in the nautilus you ran earlier too, probably easier
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> austin182: hold shift at boot and select the none recovery mode
[04:00] <vexaxv> dang wont let me copy n paste
[04:00] <wylde> vexaxv: but it's good to get familiar with command line too :)
[04:00] <austin182> Thanks again!
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: do you have gnomine installed?
[04:00] <vexaxv> yes
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: is there a file in /usr/share/applications to run gnomine?
[04:01] <vexaxv> yep
[04:01] <paulus68> If I want to setup a pxe server can I do this on an existing one that I use as fileserver at the moment or is it better to start from scratch on a seperate machine?
[04:01] <PartFormat> I have two partitions on a single external hdd. I need to partition and format it so that it is a single blank drive. How do I do this?
[04:01] <vexaxv> well shit
[04:01] <vexaxv> there was in the command line
[04:01] <vexaxv> not in the gui
[04:01] <FloodBot1> vexaxv: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: what icons do you have in there for games>?
[04:03] <vexaxv> mahjongg
[04:03] <vexaxv> theres one
[04:03] <gr8tripstr> why isn't my launcher autohiding?
[04:04] <PartFormat> How do I format a hdd using command line?
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: is the filename 'mahjong'?
[04:04] <totesmuhgoats> PartFormat: what filesystem?
[04:04] <totesmuhgoats> PartFormat: man mkfs
[04:05] <vexaxv> yep
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> PartFormat: use mkfs.<file system type wanted>    e.g. mkfs.ext2
[04:05] <PartFormat> NTFS I guess? How can I tell what it is currently? It has two partitions
[04:05] <totesmuhgoats> PartFormat: you can't format to ntfs from linux
[04:05] <totesmuhgoats> and if you could you wouldn't want to
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: ok then run:  sudo cp /usr/share/applications/mahjong.desktop /usr/share/applications/wesnoth.desktop
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> totesmuhgoats: you can with ntfsprogs
[04:06] <totesmuhgoats> ActionParsnip: hmm, i was unaware. well you still probably wouldn't want to
[04:06] <PartFormat> I just need to format it to anything at all tht windows can see (It is currently partitioned and one of the partitions is not a format Windows even sees, so I cannot format it from windows).
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> totesmuhgoats: http://paste.ubuntu.com/927391/
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> totesmuhgoats: I wouldn't either, I'd use an MS OS to format it so I know it's good
[04:07] <vexaxv> k i got it
[04:07] <vexaxv> now how do i edit it to open wesnoth in my  home folder
[04:07] <totesmuhgoats> PartFormat: i think the link ActionParsnip sent is intended for you
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: ok now run: gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/wesnoth.desktop    and change it all :)
[04:07] <totesmuhgoats> but ntfs has issues even being read in linux, so i would just boot into windows to format it
[04:07] <totesmuhgoats> or connect the drive to a windows pc
[04:08] <totesmuhgoats> might even be able to do it with iscsi, not too familiar with iscsi to be honest
[04:08] <vexaxv> k how do i edit this lol
[04:08] <vexaxv> ah wait i got it sorry
[04:08] <vexaxv> k whats gksudo do
[04:08] <PartFormat> It is a 2tb external hdd.. I canot see 500gb of it in windows, so I cannot even format that part from windows (at least not to my knowledge).
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: runs graphical apps as root
[04:08] <vexaxv> k hang on :)
[04:09] <vexaxv> thanks for all your help today by the way lol
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: np man, its simple stuff once you do it once or twice
[04:09] <chocolates> SELLING PARA DEF RING
[04:09] <totesmuhgoats> is 12.4 shipping with wayland instead of x.org/
[04:10] <xangua> totesmuhgoats: #ubuntu+1 for pangolin
[04:10] <vexaxv> ah alright i got it all done thanks alot :)
[04:10] <PartFormat> What is a termanal command to list all hdds currently mounted?
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> PartFormat: mount
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> PartFormat: you mount partitions too, not drives
[04:11] <totesmuhgoats> ubuntu ran out of adjectives i'm familiar with in 11.10 it seems
[04:12] <jDog> anyone got a list of essential unix shell commands
[04:12] <jDog> ubuntu even
[04:12] <xangua> !terminal | jDog
[04:12] <vexaxv> okay so when u copied and pasted
[04:12] <vexaxv> what was that code again
[04:12] <vexaxv> that made another mahjong pop up again
[04:13] <zerocrisis> * would like to get streets&trips working in wine.
[04:14] <ElFilosofo21> Saludos
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: the sudo cp command you ran, you will need to grab an icon file of your liking and set that in the Icon=   line in the file
[04:15] <vexaxv> oh i did
[04:15] <PartFormat> Ok so using 'mount' I discovered /sdc1 and /sdc5 are the two partitions on the external that I need to format back into a single drive that windows can read. How do I format them both to a single partition/drive? like fat32?
[04:15] <vexaxv> im just wondering what was that command incase i need to place another shortcut on unity
[04:15] <ian_mac> is it normal for Precise to idle a lot higher than Oneiric?
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: and change the Exec= line    the rest is purely cosmetic but is good to just get done :)
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> ian_mac: ask in #ubuntu+1
[04:15] <vexaxv> :)
[04:15] <ian_mac> oh sorry
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> ian_mac: np :)
[04:16] <vexaxv> it was sudo cp /usr/share/applications/majongg /usr/share/applications/wesnoth
[04:16] <vexaxv> right?
[04:16] <vexaxv> no no it was sudo cp /usr/share/applications/majongg /usr/share/applications/majongg
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you need the .desktop extension
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: your second command won't work as source == dest
[04:17] <vexaxv> i thought so
[04:17] <vexaxv> but i had two majonggs
[04:17] <vexaxv> not one majongg and one wesnoth
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: yes but you editted the wesnoth one, right?
[04:18] <vexaxv> yes
[04:18] <vexaxv> i got it workin
[04:18] <vexaxv> i checked it
[04:18] <PartFormat> Is it possible to format a partiton to fat32 using a linux terminal?
[04:18] <vexaxv> but u copied majongg
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: so press F5 in nautilus and the icon should change
[04:18] <vexaxv> i dont think u understand me lol
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: yes copied mahjong so it appears in the games folder
[04:18] <vexaxv> explain the code u wrote
[04:19] <vexaxv> sudo cp /usr/share/applications/majongg /usr/share/applications/wesnoth
[04:19] <vexaxv> thats the code right
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: it just duplicates the desktop file that runs mahjong so you can edit it to make it run your wesnoth command. We copied the mahjong file so that it appears in the games section of dash
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: yno, it: sudo cp /usr/share/applications/majongg.desktop /usr/share/applications/wesnoth.desktop
[04:20] <ElFilosofo21> Saludos,
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> wesley: you missed the fiel extension
[04:20] <vexaxv> but that copys majongg to wesnoth
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you missed the file extension. the file /usr/share/applications/majongg doesn't exist
[04:20] <vexaxv> i had two majonggs
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: yes you said, several times now
[04:21] <legasp> misssssing file extensssionss?
[04:21] <vexaxv> i must be havin a slow night or somethin..so u copied and pasted it but instead of getting a wesnoth.desktop i got another majongg, whys that
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you edit the wesnoth one so that it executes your wesnoth binary, you ALSO edit the icon line to a file of your choosing so it looks different
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: its just got the same details inside it, as we only copied it, so it will look exactly the same
[04:21] <vexaxv> i got all that lol
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you now need to edit it
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: so where is the issue?
[04:22] <paulus68> If I want to setup a pxe server can I do this on an existing one that I use as fileserver at the moment or is it better to start from scratch on a seperate machine?
[04:22] <vexaxv> i know, im just wondering why did u copy majongg to wesnoth
[04:22] <vexaxv> i got two majonggs
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: you don't. One runs wesnoth and the othjer runs mahjong as you editted the file
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: it only LOOKS like you do as you didn't change the icon file
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: well, line
[04:23] <sachin_> Hi
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: I suggest you download an icon you like from the web and put it in your file system some place out of the way, you can then change the Icon= line in wesnoth.desktop to point to it, and it will be used
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> vexaxv: the file will then change appearence and be what you want. It will also appear in dash and you can even drag it to the Unity bar if you wish
[04:25] <tewecske> I use 11.04 and yesterday i upgraded my system and now if i start ubuntu the whole UI is freezed, the terminal on tty1 works fine and i can boot with failsafeX, i had a few segfaults with nvidia http://pastebin.com/EVUMKmaL but i downgraded to an old nvidia driver and the UI is even worse but no segfault at this boot, any idea where to look for the cause of the problem?
[04:25] <vexaxv> hm..
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> tewecske: what if you remove the nvidia driver altogether and boot using the open source driver
[04:27] <tewecske> i'm gonna try that now, just removed it but maybe someone have a better idea :)
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> tewecske: did you upgrade the packages nly and stil stay in Natty?
[04:28] <tewecske> yes I'm still on Natty
[04:28] <zerocrisis> * had a very similar problem,. thought it was video,.. chased it for days,.. and found out it was, of all things,.. a wireless keyboard issue.
[04:28] <tewecske> kernel and nvidia upgrades were there too
[04:28] <chown_> guys im trying to make a shell script here and it has 2 statements that requires a password, the thing is: when i 1st execute, it ask me for the 1st password, so i answer it and it execute that statement, the problem is that the 2nd statement isnt executed
[04:29] <wylde> chown_: I bet you'd get some good answers for that in #bash :)
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> chown_: can ou pastebin the script please
[04:29] <tewecske> zerocrisis: i have a wireless keyboard, but i hope it's not the case (i like my keyboard :))
[04:30] <tewecske> i'm trying to reboot without nvidia drivers now...
[04:30] <chown_> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/kL7mHsvD
[04:31] <busybyeski> hey guys! i'm currently running on a live usb.. is there any way i can access the other files on the same usb? can't find it in the filesystem
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> chown_: that won't work
[04:32] <chown_> ActionParsnip: oh, really?
[04:32] <paulus68> chown_: I think you have to name your ethernet card eth0 if I am not mistaken
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> chown_: you'll need:     su admin
[04:32] <ActionParsnip>     sudo ifconfig en1 ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> ooops
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> sec
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> i'll pastebin

[04:33] <GuestFor> Is exFAT better than NTFS for Ubuntu (I am formating an external HDD and heard NTFS has some problems with linux)?
[04:33] <chown_> Those commands is working fine when entered by me
[04:34] <Random832> does ubuntu even support exfat
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> chown_: http://pastie.org/3778410
[04:34] <Random832> GuestFor: do you need to share it beteen indows and linux
[04:34] <GuestFor> Ideally yeah
[04:35] <GuestFor> Random832: Does that mean NTFS is best?
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> GuestFor: NTFS will work fine in both, just remember to safe remove the device when you are done in ANY OS and you will have fewer issues
[04:36] <busybyeski> anyone know how i can get see the usb drive i booted off of?
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> busybyeski: sudo parted -l    will show the UI
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> UUID
[04:38] <GuestFor> So the next step is installing Ubuntu on my SSD. Should I make a partition (while in windows) for it? Or just start the Ubuntu (12.04) install (from cd) and try to get it to share a location on the C drive with win7?
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> GuestFor: the installer can make partitions
[04:39] <haux> How do you remove "gmusicbrowser" from the sound menu?
[04:39] <haux> I did this before but I forgot how...
[04:40] <tewecske> rebooted without nvidia, first it hanged then i restored default settings in failsafex and now it works
[04:40] <busybyeski> ActionParsnip: you mean like /dev/sdb? can i view that in the file browser or terminal?
[04:41] <tewecske> but it's not as good as it was before, so how can I found out why the UI freezes with nvidia driver?
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> busybyeski: technically both
[04:42] <busybyeski> ActionParsnip: how can i browse there in the gui :$
[04:43] <zerocrisis> tewecske: i had lots of driver issues with one of my comps running a cheaper $40.00 nvidia card. bought a twin-frozer III to replace it, and problems went away. was told that cheaper cards, even tho same chipset. don't always have full chipset support.
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> busybyeski: nautilus
[04:44] <busybyeski> ActionParsnip: i'm using nautilus, but even "go to location" doesn't allow for /dev/sdb/ input
[04:44] <tewecske> zerocrisis: but it worked for about 4 years and the problem occurd first after yesterday's upgrade
[04:45] <tewecske> it's a 8800 GTS
[04:47] <ezoe> hmm
[04:47] <gr33n7007h> busybyeski, is it mounted
[04:47] <busybyeski> gr33n7007h: i don't believe so. it isn't found in /mnt/
[04:47] <ezoe> there are OpenGL related updates available now.
[04:47] <gr33n7007h> mount it first then
[04:48] <ezoe> maybe this cause the problem... I wonder if it's wise to install it since I'm using GeForce GTX560Ti too.
[04:49] <busybyeski> gr33n7007h: how can i mount it without just replugging it?
[04:49] <chown_> ActionParsnip: man, u were a lifesaver, i had to change your script a littlebit because of my su was a little different, but it worked like a charm
[04:50] <gr33n7007h> busybyeski, mkdir /mnt/sdb then mount /dev/sdb /mnt/sdb
[04:50] <busybyeski> ahhhhh gr33n7007h i tried it and i found that it has "already been mounted to /cdrom/". didn't think to look there. -.- ahah thanks
[04:50] <chown_> ActionParsnip: thank you so much, i`ll use that in a lot of little scripts i have
[04:50] <gr33n7007h> oh ok
[04:50] <gr33n7007h> busybyeski, to see thing mount just type mount
[04:50] <gr33n7007h> *mounted
[04:51] <fellayaboy> lusers
[04:54] <tewecske> I try with the latest nvidia drivers (295.40)
[04:55] <danielbrown> Do any of you know if it is possible to dual boot Ubuntu and Mac OS X on an iMac? I don't know if it's EFI compatible.
[04:55] <tewecske> can't install nvidia driver while running X? WTF? :)
[04:56] <gr33n7007h> tewecske, ctrl + alt + f1 then ./nvidia-driver

[04:59] <ActionParsnip> tewecske: fyi, in a CTRL+ALT+F1 terminal, the X server is still running
[05:00] <ActionParsnip> xangua: the less fresh lot is, the main edgers ppa is not very stable at all

[05:55] <BootGuy> I just installed Ubuntu (12.04) on a partition of my main drive. However when restartined I didn't run into the linux boot laoder (Grup? Or named something like that). How can I get it to reach the boot loader when first booting up?
[05:56] <Starminn> I have multiple GPG keys on my system. I am currently signing the Ubuntu Code of Conduct (or trying to), but it is using the default key, which is not the one I want it to use. How can I specify which key to use?
[05:57] <iqueeR3C> .user FloodBot1
[05:57] <BootGuy> The win7 has a small partition (system) that I think might have its own boot loader on it? I am not sure how te computer decides where to look for a boot loader when first starting.
[05:57] <Starminn> I tried changing the default key >>gpg --default-key [name]<< but I'm not sure what [name] is asking for.
[06:01] <vexaxv> for ubuntu 11.10 should i install gtk 3 or 2 themes
[06:01] <subdesign> vexaxv, i made some background for ubuntu : www.devartpro.com/en/downloads

[06:19] <Elmseeker> Anyone around good with networking?
[06:19] <Elmseeker> I seem to have a problem on my ubuntu network, 90% packet loss on wired and wirless, same machine when booted into windows 7 has 0% packet loss. Any ideas?
[06:23] <bobo37773> Elmseeker: Did you look at dmesg? Any clues? What wireless card do you have? Do you use something other then your router for dns? Is ipv6 enabled? What are you using to manage your network (networkmanager, wicd, wpa_supplicant)?
[06:24] <GirlyGirl> bobo37773: He left
[06:24] <deper29> I like when people do that
[06:24] <bobo37773> GirlyGirl: Oh. Okay. Problem solved. Next. hahaha
[06:24] <deper29> lol
[06:25] <GirlyGirl> deper29: bobo37773 Actually he went and asked the same in #ubuntu+1 . He is still there
[06:26] <bobo37773> GirlyGirl: Sounds like a lot of work. Maybe he/she will come back.
[06:26] <bobo37773> GirlyGirl: +1 is for beta right?
[06:27] <Wildbat> ubuntu 10.04; i don't seems to able install sun java 6 jdk ~ i have already added partner repo. any help ?

[06:27] <deper29> hold on a second
[06:27] <GirlyGirl> bobo37773: precise yes
[06:28] <bobo37773> GirlyGirl: Ah I see. Hmm. Maybe I will go take a peak.
[06:29] <deper29> Wildbat, I believe this is what I did http://askubuntu.com/questions/67909/how-do-i-install-oracles-jdk-6
[06:30] <Wildbat> deper29, thanks i will take a look at it now
[06:30] <deper29> Wildbat, let me know if that works for you.
[06:31] <BootGuy> I installed Ubuntu but the win7 boot still occurs. What am I doing wrong? How do I automaticly reach grub when I boot?
[06:32] <HFW_Two> Where am I ?
[06:33] <Wildbat> deper29, oh it moved to oracle now , i see ~ i think that will work ~ just can't apt-get anymore :< thanks ~
[06:33] <bobo37773> HFW_Two: Ubuntu Gnu / Linux chat room.
[06:34] <deper29> Wildbat, never did get an apt-get working for it
[06:36] <Wildbat> deper29, is okay ~ just no more auto update XD
[06:36] <deper29> Wildbat, yeah, I never did get that working. if you come across something, do let me know :P
[06:37] <Wildbat> deper29, sure ~
[06:43] <RuJN> Hi, I have a problem reading a Cd - just doesn't see it! Maybe it is made for Windows but it should see it
[06:44] <RuJN> no problwems with reading audio CDs
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: CDs use standards for data
[06:44] <julre> can someone tell me how i can change the clk and voltage of my radeon manually?
[06:45] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: how to see the standart?
[06:45] <RuJN> *standard
[06:45] <RuJN> It should be a simple video or two on a CD
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: is it a data cd?
[06:46] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: It should be a simple video or two on a CD
[06:46] <RuJN> a data one, I suppose
[06:46] <Newbuntu2> hello!
[06:47] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: it cannot be played on a DVD player (not a very new one
[06:47] <Newbuntu2> i'm trying to connect to my NAS directly via wired connection, while I remain connected to the internet via wireless. How can i set it up? Do I need to run a dhcp server on eth0?
[06:47] <devilirium> RuJN: Test your software and hardware.
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: try: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0; sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0
[06:47] <Triups> Help: I installed ubuntu.  I log in with gui...all I see is cusor and wallpaper.  (12.04   I think this machine did the same thing with 10.10 a long time ago)
[06:48] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: tanks, i'll try just now
[06:48] <Chris52> Hello I would like to asks some helo with my ubuntu 11.10 installation. When the system boots up it simply shows the boot terminal (where it says starting services and all short of things) and stucks there.
[06:48] <mi3> is there any hardware channel on freenode?
[06:48] <mi3> computer hardware.....
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> Newbuntu2: you can add a route to the ip to tell routing to use eth0 as the device
[06:48] <auronandace> !alis | mi3
[06:48] <phh451> How to find out where is my network traffic from/to and for what process?
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> Mi3 ##hardware
[06:49] <mi3> hi ActionParsnip !!
[06:49] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: the answer is mount: блочное устройство /dev/sr0 защищен от записи, монтируется только для чтения
[06:49] <Newbuntu2> ActionParsnip: so i don't need a DHC
[06:49] <mi3> thanks, ActionParsnip !
[06:49] <Newbuntu2> ActionParsnip: dhcp server to run? what ip do I connect to?
[06:49] <gimbal> hi all, so I'm getting back into ubuntu after a bit of a hiatus in toying around with windoz. Right now, I'm trying to build a package from source, using dbuild. I'm familiar with this process, and the concept of build-depends. My question centers around that there's a script I know used to be available for downloading build-deps by parsind debian/control - I just can't remember the name of it...
[06:50] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: it means the device is protected from being recorded, can be mounted only for reading
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> Newbuntu2: you'll find examples of the route command online, or read:   man route     i'd search too but on GSM its gonna be painfully slow
[06:51] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: it means the device is protected from being recorded, can be mounted only for reading
[06:51] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: the answer was: mount: блочное устройство /dev/sr0 защищен от записи, монтируется только для чтения
[06:51] <bobo37773> gimbal: get-build-deps?
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> Newbuntu2: you can add the command in /etc/rc.local to run at boot. Add it above the exit 0 line
[06:52] <topelo> how do i get into grub on startup?
[06:52] <gimbal> bobo37773: I found something like that in a haskell related package. As I recall, the script I remember wasn't packaged specific to haskell
[06:52] <auronandace> topelo: hold shift
[06:52] <topelo> forget?
[06:52] <topelo> thx auronandace
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: well yeah, its an optical media. Think about it
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: you should be able to access the data from /media/cdrom0
[06:54] <bobo37773> gimbal: Yeah I am not sure. I usually either builkd the dependencies for packages before hand or let my package manager handle it.
[06:54] <BootGuy> I am trying to recover grub after windows wiped it out. after typing 'root (hd0,0)' I tried 'setup (hd0)' but I got the error 'Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition' am I using the wrong partition?
[06:54] <gimbal> tx
[06:55] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: there is such device but it's a USB mobile internet modem, maybe it's the problem?
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> Bootguy: omgubuntu has a guide called: sticking it to grub. It uses a livecd/usb. You can reinstate grub there
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: i thought you said it was a cd..?
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: what happened to a couple of videos on a CD?
[06:57] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: yes it's. The CD is insrected, but the modem is also and on windown and on ubuntu it's recognised as a cd
[06:58] <gimbal> well I guess the thing from haskell-debian-utils will work - just wish I could remember what that other cmd was and where it was from; one of those "got it on the tip of my tongue" kind of things
[06:58] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: so the system should think i have 2 cds
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: does the cd by any chance contain drivers for the USB device?
[06:58] <RuJN> the modem which is recognised as a cd - yes
[06:59] <RuJN> it's HUAWEI
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> Rujn: those are windows drivers. Ubuntu isn't windows
[06:59] <RuJN> the real CD no
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: run: lsusb    use the 8 character hex ID to find guides
[07:00] <ax562> hello
[07:00] <ax562> Been having a nightmare tring to compile c++ code
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> ax562: asked in #c++  ?
[07:01] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: you see, the modem is working properly and it is a USB and it is recognised as a CD and it contains HUawei drivers
[07:01] <ax562> I believe I have 3 itirations of g++ installed and they aren't playing well together
[07:01] <deper29> ax562, what are you doing?
[07:01] <ax562> its a package install issue
[07:01] <ax562> deper29- trying to compile c++ code
[07:01] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: The real dick that the system DOEsN'T see should contain only video and maybe an .exe file
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: yes ubuntu doesnt need those, you just need to flip it with usb-modeswitch
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> Rujn: as I said, lsusb will find you guides. You don't need any additional drivers
[07:02] <ax562> was looking for help
[07:03] <ax562> been researching for a few days now.  With no luck.
[07:03] <deper29> ax562, I gathered that. that doesn't help me. what is your input?
[07:03] <ax562> input?
[07:03] <hydrox24> ax562: what code are you compiling?
[07:03] <deper29> what are you doing to compile?
[07:03] <hydrox24> ax562: with what commands?
[07:03]  * gimbal inputs, in the voice of Rinzler, I fight for the user! lol
[07:03] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: Ok, thank you, I'll try to disconnect.
[07:04] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: there isa driver
[07:04] <RuJN> Bus 006 Device 003: ID 12d1:14ac Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
[07:04] <ax562> oh just any simple code.  Using netbeans using netbeans welcome sample code
[07:04] <deper29> *facepalm*
[07:04] <gimbal> ax562: could it have something to do with netbeans config?
[07:04] <ax562> I finally figured out today its a package issue because I cannot compile even through terminal using g++ command
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: i suggest you run: sudo umount /media/cdrom0
[07:05] <gimbal> ax562: sorry to just throw out random questions, but can you simply uninstall some of the other gcc version?
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: ok search the web for: 12d1: 14ac ubuntu
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> RuJN: the hexadecimal values are the ID
[07:07] <RuJN> ActionParsnip: thank you
[07:07] <deper29> ax562, here is what I do: g++ foo.cpp -o foo
[07:07] <ax562> deper29- doesn't work
[07:07] <ax562> g++ is looking for cc1plus
[07:08] <ax562> g++ is in /usr/bin
[07:08] <ax562> cc1plus is in /somewhereelse
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> ax562: did you install build-essential
[07:09] <ax562> I copied a pointer to the directory cc1plus is in and then it asked for another file that wasn't in the cc1plus directory
[07:09] <ax562> yes i installed build essential
[07:09] <ax562> also g++4.4 I believe...
[07:10] <ax562> and also installed c/c++ plugin from netbeans (not sure if that also installed g++)
[07:10] <ax562> new to linux but having a nightmare with bad install dependencies etc.
[07:11] <ax562> I don't quit easily though
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> ax562: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[07:11] <ax562> I actually tried #c++ and #android-dev but I think I got banned for asking this same quesstion...
[07:12] <auronandace> ax562: here's a good tip: you never get any dependency issues if you only stick to the default repos
[07:12]  * rinzler42 cheers
[07:12] <ax562> I have only installed thrugh synaptic and apt-get...same thing?
[07:13] <auronandace> ax562: and where did you get netbeans from?
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> ax562: what is the output of my command please...
[07:13] <ax562> pleas hold
[07:13] <wylde> ax562: have you done 'sudo apt-get build-dep <packagename>'  ?
[07:14] <ax562> maverick
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> ax562: yes apt-get and synaptic will achieve the same end
[07:14] <wesley> Is there any way I can 'set' my displays ? right now when I try to 'drag' (or touch) a tab, the tab appears on my other screen - really annoying when working with tabs and it's so sensitive that when i touch one the tab goes out of it's window :(
[07:14] <wesley> I have three monitors btw.
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> ax562: maverick is EOL dude
[07:14] <ax562> E0L?
[07:14] <rinzler42> end of lifetime
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> ax562: no support + no updates
[07:14] <wylde> !eol | ax562
[07:14] <rinzler42> or in tron speak: end of line lol
[07:15] <ax562> I am running this off my droid bionic..
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> ax562: i suggest you wipe it out and install a clean install of Precise
[07:15] <ax562> pretty sure I don't have another option
[07:16] <ax562> precise?
[07:16] <neo31> hello, does anyone have an idea on how to automatically execute a command on user login to a runlevel 3 tty ? thx
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> ax562: yes, ubuntu 12.04 released real soon and is LTS
[07:16] <wylde> ax562: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, it will be released in 13 days.
[07:17] <Puck1980> that soon cant wait for 12.04
[07:17] <topelo> me has 12.04 now
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> Puck1980: the beta is around
[07:18] <Puck1980> yes saw the beta, was not brave enough to go for it as need the puter for a few thngs right now
[07:18] <ax562> yeah but I'm 99% sure I can't run that of my cell phone
[07:19] <ax562> what was precise?
[07:19] <rinzler42> neo31: some ass'y required, yeah. For the run-on-login behavior, you could execte it from ~user/.profile  assuming conventional shell semantics for the user; for runlevel-specific behaviors, can check the output of the `runlevel' cmd
[07:20] <deper29> Wildbat, did you get the jdk okay?
[07:20] <rinzler42> neo31: as far as tty-specific stuff, there's also the 'tty' cmd
[07:21] <neo31> thx, and sry for the noob/lazy question rinzler42 (though I have looked on the net :p )
[07:21] <rinzler42> neo31: hey np
[07:21] <ax562> So.....just reinstall everything?
[07:21] <Wildbat> deper29, ya ~
[07:21] <neo31> I think .profile will do it. i have just lost my memory :p
[07:22] <rinzler42> ax562: for what it's worth, if you're looking to set up a linux devel environment wihtout committing to a full install, and you have an mswin or osx comp available, it's possible to install ubuntu to a virtualbox image and give it a try from there
[07:22] <topelo> ughh can't see chat 351 updates
[07:23] <Merwin_> Hi. I'm trying to uninstall gnome-terminal on 12.04 because I installed terminator, but it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop. Why? Is it a problem ?
[07:23] <ax562> I know I used to have dual boot of ubuntu 10.04 a while bac
[07:23] <ax562> I also have virtual maching on my windows pc
[07:24] <rinzler42> Merwin_:  apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop | grep gnome-terminal
[07:24] <rinzler42> It's a dep of ubuntu-desktop
[07:24] <everyl> !upgrade
[07:24] <ax562> The thing is I bought a lapdock for my phone and I modded the crap out of the webtop partition
[07:25] <Merwin_> rinzler42, so I can't uninstall it ?
[07:25] <ax562> I'm 99% sure I cannot upgrade my maverick because I will probably break my webtop and wont be able to use my lapdock
[07:26] <Merwin_> When I search for "term" in Unity, I got Terminal at first answer, that's boring because I want to use terminator...
[07:26] <rinzler42> Merwin_: you can uninstall it, but either that'll break ubuntu-desktop or necessitate its consequant removal from the system too. They can live side by side, I'd wager ;)
[07:26] <dfcnvt> I'm looking for a software that can translate from qwerty keyboard setting to stenotype keyboard... I couldn't find it.
[07:27] <Merwin_> rinzler42, maybe a way to "hide" it in the search ?
[07:27] <rinzler42> ax562: heh, priorities ><
[07:28] <rinzler42> Merwin_: hide it in what search? it's just a basic sorting algorithm afaik - a dependency is a dependency
[07:28] <Merwin_> rinzler42, I don't know what's the name of this, but when you hit the "Windows" key on the keyboard, you can search for apps
[07:29] <Merwin_> When I search for "term" I got Terminal first, not Terminator, that's why I want to uninstall it. I don't use it, why should I keep it ?
[07:29] <rinzler42> Merwin_: ahh, I think I get what you're getting at. You don't like it coming up in the menu when you want that other terminal you mentioned first?  You can define a launcher for that other terminal, just push a button and make it go ...
[07:30] <Merwin_> Yes...
[07:30] <Merwin_> But that's just a workaround :)
[07:30] <rinzler42> or right click it in the unity menu and add it to your favories menu
[07:30] <Merwin_> Anyway, thanks
[07:30] <rinzler42> k

[07:31] <hyper_ch> I wonder how to find out which java environment is being used on my comp by default
[07:32] <deper29> hyper_ch, java -version
[07:32] <hyper_ch> deper29: I tried "--version" :)

[07:33] <wylde> hyper_ch: apt-cache policy <packagename>

[07:36] <shani0610> Hello guys linux newb here.
[07:36] <shani0610> I would like to know if a 10 gig is enough for fed14?
[07:37] <wylde> shani0610: uhhh maybe you should ask in a Redhat channel. Redhat != Ubuntu
[07:37] <shani0610> ups sorry I wanted to know for ubuntu 10.10
[07:37] <iceroot> shani0610: 10gb is enough for the system itself you need about 4gb
[07:38] <iceroot> shani0610: + swap + your personal data, i am running ubuntu here with 8gb hdd
[07:38] <wylde> 10.10 is EOL I believe.
[07:38] <shani0610> yeah thnx I am giving it a shot,
[07:38] <iceroot> shani0610: ah yes and ubuntu 10.10 is not supported anymore, please use 11.10 or 10.04 if you want a stable long-term support
[07:38] <wylde> !eol
[07:38] <hyper_ch> shani0610: why ubuntu 10.10? that's not being supported for much longer
[07:39] <shani0610> yes I know that
[07:39] <iceroot> hyper_ch: its already out of support
[07:39] <shani0610> I am currently downloading it
[07:39] <hyper_ch> iceroot: it is? but 18 months would be end ofr april 2012
[07:39] <iceroot> hyper_ch: 10.04.2012
[07:39] <iceroot> !10.10
[07:39] <hyper_ch> iceroot: ah, I always counted in full months ;)
[07:39] <iceroot> shani0610: please dont use 10.10 its not getting security updates anymore
[07:39] <shani0610> Thnx guys...
[07:40] <iceroot> hyper_ch: me too :)
[07:40] <shani0610> I am just trying to get a lose grasp of it
[07:40] <shani0610> nothing else
[07:40] <hyper_ch> shani0610: default ubuntu installation requires about 1.5 GB diskspace... so 10GB is plenty for running the system with more applications... however to store videos and pictures it might be a bit limited
[07:40] <iceroot> shani0610: if i am correct 10.10 is using the old desktop gnome2 which is not available anymore and replaced with unity
[07:40] <napalm54> Seems a lot of people hate on mono, why so?
[07:41] <iceroot> napalm54: no free software
[07:41] <shani0610> Yep know that too
[07:41] <iceroot> !free | napalm54
[07:42] <ax562> dam it...now I try to uninstall and I get errors...
[07:42] <iceroot> napalm54: so we removed everything from the 12.04 which is using mono
[07:42] <napalm54> Mono is open source though right?
[07:42] <iceroot> from the 12.04 cd
[07:42] <iceroot> napalm54: "yes" but its using protected things by microsoft
[07:42] <shani0610> I am feeling like a kid against a buncha spartans or shaolin monks... man I am outta here adios!
[07:42] <iceroot> napalm54: just a matter of time when microsoft will go crazy and sue the hell out of everything
[07:43] <hyper_ch> shani0610: better go with 12.04 directly... it still has a few bugs but it will be LTS (long term support) and should be officially released later this month
[07:43] <ezoe> if I upgrade to 12.04 from 11.10, is mono automatically removed?
[07:43] <Aquaguy> Hello
[07:43] <iceroot> ezoe: no
[07:43] <Aquaguy> I'm installing php5-mysql, it should create 3 files under /etc/php5/conf.d
[07:43] <Aquaguy> but it is not
[07:43] <ezoe> iceroot: glad it's no. I don't want upgrade to remove something.
[07:43] <iceroot> Aquaguy: dpkg -L php5-mysql  is showing the files?
[07:44] <iceroot> ezoe: mono is still in ubuntu just a new installation of 12.04 will not install mono by default because its not needed for the default software anymore but srtill in the repos and useable
[07:45] <ezoe> Is it hard to manually removed mono and all mono dependent software?
[07:45] <ezoe> s/removed/remove/
[07:45] <iceroot> ezoe: no

[08:05] <ikonia> ax562: why do you think it's broken ?
[08:05] <ax562> http://pastie.org/3779035
[08:06] <ikonia> yeah, I saw the link, but why do you think it's broken ?
[08:06] <ax562> when I compile in terminal I get the same error also
[08:06] <everyl> http://i.imgur.com/LQz1E.jpg
[08:06] <ax562> it's a package issue
[08:06] <ikonia> yeah, that's not unexpected
[08:06] <ikonia> ax562: why do you think it's a package issue ?
[08:07] <everyl> this happens. Just installed ubuntu 12.04b2 -- that happens when I start up the computer. Any tips on what I can do?
[08:07] <ax562> because the compiler is looking for a file that isn't in the right place and because I can't uninstall it
[08:08] <ax562> and when I point to the missing file g++ needs another missing file that is mia
[08:08] <Misha_Alchevsk> the truth is that "ubuntu" is supported by volunteers all over the world?
[08:08] <ikonia> ax562: files aren't just "mia" nor is that package broken, so what has happened
[08:08] <ikonia> Misha_Alchevsk: what ?
[08:09] <ikonia> ax562: please show me the output of g++ -v
 nothing )
[08:09] <ikonia> Misha_Alchevsk: ok, so please don't make random/pointless statements
[08:12] <ax562> 4.4
[08:13] <ikonia> ax562: no, please show me the full output
[08:14] <Ch4rAss> does ubunutu download page work for you? http://www.ubuntu.com/download
[08:14] <ikonia> Ch4rAss: yes
[08:14] <Ch4rAss> ok :/
[08:16] <matcouto> Guys, Is it woth to install the 64bits version if I have only 4gb RAM ?
[08:16] <ikonia> matcouto: sure
[08:17] <iceroot> matcouto: yes
[08:17] <everyl> Okay, so it seems that after installing 12.04, the upper bar and the left bar that activates on mouse-over don't ever appear. Any idea how I could invoke a shell?
[08:17] <matcouto> ikonia, but what about the applications? Would I be limited to use some kind of apps?!
[08:17] <iceroot> everyl: #ubuntu+1
[08:17] <ikonia> matcouto: no
[08:19] <matcouto> nice ikonia  thanks

[08:19] <ikonia> ax562: Linaro ?
[08:20] <ikonia> ax562: what version of ubuntu is this ?
[08:20] <robertzaccour> webcam display freezes when it sits there for a while. I'm trying to record my mug for picture in picture editing. any way to keep the webcam display from freezing like that?
[08:20] <ikonia> target arm ?
[08:20] <ax562> linaro?
[08:20] <ikonia> ax562: yeah, look at the version info
[08:20] <ikonia> ax562: what distro is this ?
[08:20] <ikonia> !info g++
[08:21] <ax562> it's webtop version I think maverick?
[08:22] <ikonia> webtop version ?
[08:22] <ax562> I'm running ubungtu off my droid bionic
[08:22] <robertzaccour> anyone else have an issue with webcam display freezing?
[08:22] <ikonia> ax562: what is webtop
[08:22] <ikonia> ax562: is this the motorola distribution ?
[08:23] <ax562> It's the hdmi OS off my phone
[08:23] <ikonia> it's not ubuntu
[08:23] <ikonia> it looks like it's a version of a linux distro that motorola built
[08:25] <ax562> It is ubuntu but stripped down version
[08:25] <ikonia> ax562: it's not ubuntu, it has customisation
[08:25] <ax562> not sure what that meanss
[08:25] <ikonia> ax562: I'd suggest contacting the vendor, they must have support resources for this distro
[08:25] <ikonia> ax562: who makes your phone
[08:25] <ax562> someone here asked me to tell them the version and its maverick
[08:26] <ax562> motorolla
[08:26] <ax562> They will not help because it's modified
[08:26] <ikonia> ax562: it's not maverick, it appears to be based on maverick, but from what I'm reading it's a motorolla created
[08:27] <ax562> I have terminal and runing xfce4
[08:27] <ax562> I'm sure it's ubuntu
[08:28] <ax562> not sure how  how I can prove it to you
[08:28] <ikonia> ax562: it's based on ubuntu, it's not ubuntu
[08:28] <ax562> ok but thats not the problem
[08:29] <ikonia> ax562: contact motorolla
[08:29] <ax562> really...
[08:29] <ikonia> ax562: yup
[08:30] <robertzaccour> does guvcview webcam display normally freeze up after several minutes being displayed or is it most likely my new webcam?
[08:31] <z4k4ri4> Hi, I just installed precise and having some trouble with usb evdo modem
[08:31] <z4k4ri4> Could somebody point to the right procedure/forums?
[08:31] <ax562> I just mentioned they won't help
[08:32] <ikonia> ax562: yes, but it is THEIR product, it is there responsability
[08:32] <ikonia> ax562: we only support the ubuntu released products, not modified versions
[08:32] <everyl> the normal term, what is its path in ubuntu?
[08:33] <ax562> who is we?
[08:33] <everyl> you and i
[08:33] <ikonia> ax562: this channel/the ubuntu support community
[08:34] <ax562> dude, because you say it's not ubuntu?
[08:34] <ikonia> ax562: correct, it's not ubuntu, it's a comercial product built by motorola based on the ubuntu platform
[08:34]  * z4k4ri4 waiting for answers...
[08:35] <Ben64> mint and backtrack are closer to ubuntu than webtop is, and they aren't supported here either
[08:36] <Ben64> !precise | z4k4ri4
[08:37] <everyl> no seriously, what's the path of a term
[08:37] <everyl> so I can find it, and open it
[08:38] <h4xx0r> Help me guys! Im stuck and dont know how to reboot ubuntu! Please help me please
[08:38] <ikonia> h4xx0r: sudo reboot
[08:38] <h4xx0r> jk! :P
[08:38] <h4xx0r> was kidding
[08:38] <ikonia> h4xx0r: right, don't make stupid jokes, it's not funny
[08:38] <h4xx0r> who here using xubuntu 11.04?
[08:38] <ikonia> h4xx0r: it's a support channel, you need help, anything else, don't
[08:38] <Ben64> everyl: what do you mean
[08:39] <tianhong-wang> sudo init 6
[08:39] <h4xx0r> alrite
[08:39] <h4xx0r> real problem now
[08:39] <h4xx0r> does xchat have an option to sit in the tray while im doing other stuff?
[08:39] <h4xx0r> closing it just terminates the whole application
[08:40] <tianhong-wang> h4xx0r, yeah, no tray function
[08:41] <everyl> Ben64: the absolute path of a terminal. So I can find my way to it and start it up (my window manager is acting up, thus the inability to start it up normally)
[08:41] <ikonia> everyl: #ubuntu+1 please.
[08:42] <ax562> so if I'm running 12 you can share your expertise but if im not I'm a waste of "the community's" time?
[08:42] <ikonia> ax562: you're not running 12
[08:42] <ikonia> ax562: please don't lie, you've given us the info, we've pointed you at the right place to get support
[08:42] <jham_> any web dev here?
[08:42] <ikonia> jham_: try #web
[08:42] <jham_> who can help me on xampp? thanks
[08:42] <Ben64> everyl: /usr/bin/xterm ?
[08:42] <h4xx0r> yeh tell me
[08:43] <jham_> ok
[08:43] <jham_> thanks
[08:43] <ikonia> jham_: you may want to try lamp, xampp is a self contained platform that not many people will be interested in helping with
[08:44] <everyl> Ben64: YES. thanks man
[08:44] <ax562> lie?
[08:44] <ikonia> ax562: you have told us the distro/product you are using
[08:44] <ikonia> ax562: you can't just lie and say you are using something different to try to get support
[08:45] <ax562> your community sounds more like a culkt
[08:45] <h4xx0r> does anyone here have a workaround to get OpenVPN working in xubuntu 11.04
[08:45] <ax562> that would be retarted...not what I was trying to say
[08:45] <ikonia> ax562: no, it just supports official ubuntu products/releases.
[08:45] <ax562> only right?
[08:46] <ikonia> ax562: motorolla is your support vendor, there maybe other support resources for webtop on the web, but not here
[08:46] <everyl> during installation I never set up a root account, only a normal account. is there some default root password, or what? How would I su in a term?
[08:46] <Ben64> ax562: everyone in here knows about ubuntu, not about webtop, so any advice wouldn't be applicable for your situation
[08:46] <Ben64> oh well
[08:46] <ax562> cult?
[08:46] <ikonia> ax562: enough now
[08:46] <delet> hi all
[08:46] <ikonia> ax562: it's been made clear this channel does not support webtop, you've been given suggestions on where to go, please stop this discussion
[08:46] <h4xx0r> A workaround to get openVPN working on Xubuntu 11.04. ANYONE?
[08:47] <ikonia> h4xx0r: just repeating it over and over won't change anything
[08:47] <Shape> Hello, I have installed Ubuntu (shriked my secondary partition with Gparted) and Windows Xp won't load anymore. "hal.dll" problem
[08:47] <ax562> I'm having package issues but since I'm not on the "community's" version I am not worthy
[08:47] <ikonia> Shape: the guys in ##windows will show you how to recover that
[08:47] <ikonia> Shape: you may have to re-apply grub after the windows fix
[08:49] <delet> по русски кто нибудь говорит?
[08:49] <everyl> Hey guys. So, I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop, and I'm wondering what the deal is with su / normal user. Specifically, how do I elevate to a root account in a terminal session?
[08:50] <Ben64> !sudo | everyl
[08:50] <Myrtti> !ru | delet
[08:50] <delet> thanks
[08:51] <everyl> wait, out of curiosity, what is that?
[08:51] <everyl> !ru | delet
[08:51] <everyl> oh, the characters weren't rendering for me, sorry, nevermind
[08:53] <opalepatrick> can I install gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.24.1 on ubuntu 11.10 and if so, where can I get a package from? NOt available in standard repos
[08:55] <Steell> hi
[08:55] <Steell> hi
[08:56] <zeroblock> Steell: Hello
[08:56] <internetking> hey all on the gnome files display how do i display dot files?
[08:56] <Steell> ctrl + h
[08:57] <internetking> thanks
[08:57] <Steell> yw
[08:57] <Steell> bye
[08:57] <fidel> internetking: you know nautilus has a menu? ;)
[08:57] <fidel> which helps finding functions and even the related shortcuts - just as hint
[08:59] <internetking> actually i am using default files display that came with ubinu but will  look into it
[09:00] <paulus68> where can I find a alternate server installation for 11.10 not available for an x386?
[09:01] <ne2k> I am trying to connect a bluetooth headset to my Natty machine. I can pair the device and get a connection that shows with hcitool con, but it never shows in the hardware list in sound preferences
[09:06] <Xtreme> guys, i created a adhoc network. but whenever i connect any device to it.. the device restarts.. any help?
[09:07] <nunnsby> hi all, I have a question re syslogs on ubuntu server 11.10
[09:08] <nunnsby> I see there are 2
[09:08] <nunnsby> syslog-ng and rsyslog
[09:08] <nunnsby> looked at the differences online but can't see too much difference. does one run by default, and the other not?
[09:09] <fidel> nunnsby: ps xau | grep sysl
[09:09] <fidel> should tell you what might currently running
[09:09] <Onnonymous> Xtreme: have you looked for clues in /var/log ?
[09:10] <fidel> nunnsby: a 10.04 box i have right here is using rsyslogd out of the box - if that helps
[09:11] <nunnsby> thanks guys, yeah, rsyslogd
[09:11] <Nhovha> quit
[09:11] <nunnsby> rsyslogd -c4
[09:12] <nunnsby> okay, just wondering as need to setup a syslogging box for networks devices, so at least I know what it is running then
[09:12] <nunnsby> cheers for the help :)
[09:12] <nunnsby> fidel: I'm running it on 11.10, so yeah it is on that too then
[09:12] <nunnsby> thanks man
[09:13] <nunnsby> next question, while I think it through
[09:13] <nunnsby> is there any benefit on exporting logs to sql, apart from searching I suppose, as opposed to just letting them lie in /var/logs
[09:13] <nunnsby> and let them just retain that way?
[09:14] <nunnsby> any thoughts on the matter

[09:17] <realus> GirlyGirl
[09:17] <realus> Could yu explain the procedure plz
[09:18] <realus> ?
[09:18] <GirlyGirl> realus: 1 sec
[09:18] <ruberto> exposing log info to sql attacks can be risky! there may be advantages, but i am a pesimist
 you know, the brightness adjust works until I surpass the second set of updates
[09:18] <realus> the ones after the recommended security updates
[09:18] <realus> if you know what I mean ?
[09:19] <realus> so one of those update somehow disables the brightness changing
[09:19] <GirlyGirl> realus: try this http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=45271
[09:19] <GirlyGirl> realus: Also if the update breaks it, you should file a bug report on launchpad

[09:38] <Xtreme> GirlyGirl: how can i ssh without connecting to wlan?
[09:38] <GirlyGirl> Xtreme: You can't!
[09:38] <ikonia> Guest89281: what's the problem ?
[09:38] <Xtreme> true, u only told me to ssh
[09:39] <diverdude> How can i see if my laptop has a usb 3 port?
[09:39] <Xtreme> GirlyGirl: it tried all i can, searched many forums.. no one reported such problem
[09:39] <Xtreme> GirlyGirl: should i report it as bug at ubuntu?
[09:39] <Xtreme> coz it works when i do it with windows
[09:39] <ruberto> usb3 ports are usully colored blue
[09:39] <Guest89281> hello
[09:39] <Guest89281> anyone there
[09:40] <GirlyGirl> Xtreme: I told you shh MonkeyDust said ssh
[09:40] <Xtreme> lol..
[09:40] <ruberto> if your in windows run dxdiag, or check systems requirements.
[09:40] <Xtreme> GirlyGirl: but shud i report? what u say?
[09:41] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> WHAT
[09:41] <Xtreme> ubuntu bug. wifi error Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie
[09:41] <GirlyGirl> Xtreme: How on earth would you use ssh without a network connection?
[09:41] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> this is cool i just discovered this now
[09:41] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> lol
[09:41] <Xtreme> GirlyGirl: that is true,, so i got confused
[09:42] <MonkeyDust> Xtreme  i use ssh, what is it you ant to do?
[09:42] <ruberto> lol, why would you want to ssh without an internet connection
[09:42] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> uhhhm
[09:42] <Xtreme> well, i got nothing to do with ssh
[09:42] <MonkeyDust> want*
[09:42] <GirlyGirl> ruberto: You can with LAN as well
[09:42] <Xtreme> i created a ad-hoc network
[09:42] <Xtreme> and whenever a devices tried to conenct to it, it reboots
[09:42] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> i like chocolate
[09:42] <Xtreme> i tried with three devices and they all rebooted
[09:42] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> how cool.
[09:43] <Xtreme> when i created ad-hoc in windows, it worked
[09:43] <Xtreme> so my guess it, its ubuntu problem.
[09:43] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> cool story bru.
[09:43] <Xtreme> i searched many forumns, but no one reported any such issue
[09:43] <Lebbbzzzzzzzzzie> OKAY SHUT UP
[09:43] <Xtreme> so i was wondering i should report this bug to ubuntu or not
[09:44] <ruberto> you would have to set up some sort of virtual server, ssh wont just send over you would need to have it run over a dns
[09:44] <tktiddle> how can i search aptitude to find a package that provides a particular file?
[09:44] <Xtreme> ruberto: bro, i dont want ssh
[09:44] <Xtreme> i just misread GirlyGirl
[09:45] <ruberto> oh lol soz no prob
[09:45] <Xtreme> ruberto: well, only 1.. when i try to connect to my ad-hoc, the other device reboots
[09:46] <Xtreme> well, honestly. i dont know why everyone assumed i want to do ssh without network connection.. coz that is just impossible..
[09:46] <ruberto> thats odd behavior.. what are you running
[09:46] <Xtreme> ubuntu, 10.4
[09:46] <stephane_yaal> #yaal
[09:47] <iceroot> tktiddle: apt-file for not installed packages, dpkg -S for installed packages
[09:47] <Xtreme> ruberto: nokia mobile restarteed.. android's wifi was getting reseted continuously
[09:47] <Xtreme> ruberto: i thought it was my hw issue, but it worked in window
[09:48] <ruberto> what noikia is it??
[09:48] <Xtreme> i think 76 something.. i dont have it now.. android was samsung galaxy pop..
[09:48] <Xtreme> i have another micromax, it also reboots
[09:49] <Xtreme> i tried with adhoc.. then i tried setting up Fake AP, just to test.. same issue
[09:49] <Xtreme> its like no one can connect to my ubuntu via wifi
[09:50] <ruberto> there have been known issues with the E71, it sounds like a hardware issue
[09:51] <Xtreme> well, i can understand if single mobile was facing problem.. but how u explain 3 different mobiles...  and second, i also thought hardware, but then how everything works in windows?
[09:51] <ruberto> but you say it works with windows?
[09:51] <Xtreme> ruberto: exactly
[09:51] <Xtreme> so i am confused
[09:52] <ruberto> (o_O) mmm, ill do a bit of research
[09:52] <Xtreme> thanks bro..
[09:52] <Xtreme> my sis is calling me for lunch, i will be back in 10 mins
[09:52] <Xtreme> thanks a lot.
