[00:00] <mrojas6996> i installed the driver uncompressing the .tar.bz2 file and executing the "install" file
[00:00] <dr_willis> so it compiled and then installed the drivers/modules?
[00:00] <mrojas6996> yes
[00:01] <mrojas6996> all automatically
[00:01] <dr_willis> weird they had an install file.. ;) normally its just directions.
[00:01] <Jordan_U> mrojas6996: Please link to the tar.bz2 file that you used.

[00:34] <She153> i have installed wine tricks

[00:35] <She153> any help will be appreciated
[00:35] <She153> im new to unbuntu

[00:36] <MrGizmo757> Hey con somebody help me out?  i upgraded to 12.10 and my Intel HD 3000 graphics are terrible.  they worked fine in 12.04. are there any solutions?
[00:37] <She153> yes it is in the winedb
[00:37] <k1l_> She153: its not enough to be in the db. see what is needed to get the game running and see how good it runs
[00:38] <She153> k1l_: it is in the db
[00:39] <k1l_> She153: yes. then read what is written there
[00:39] <She153> just says a bunch of gold platinum silver
[00:42] <bubba1> hi, looking for some help installing wireless usb drivers
[00:43] <Psi-Jack> She153: The channel is not here for you to PM people with, randomly. PLEASE USE THE CHANNEL!
[00:44] <She153> wow
[00:44] <She153> so rude
[00:45] <Psi-Jack> No, it's completely rude to randomly PM people.
[00:45] <Tex_Nick> bubba1 : state your version of linux & the adapter manufacturer & model ... that will give people here a better idea of what you're wanting to install
[00:45] <misterhe> im running ubuntu 12.04 and my computer wont resume from suspend. i hear the hdds spin up, and the fans running, but no power to my usb mouse/kb and no display

[00:46] <She153> someone told me
[00:46] <bubba1> im running ubuntu 12.04
[00:46] <She153> you could not run games as root
[00:47] <k1l_> bubba1: can you show the line from that adapter in "lsusb"
[00:47] <Psi-Jack> She153: root is not a normal user. Don't use it as such.
[00:47] <Psi-Jack> She153: Secondly. Do not use Enter as if it were punctuation. It's not punctuation.

[00:49] <She153> It is a bad habit , No need to like tell me how to type ... Im just trying to get this game to run and if i knew linux alot better than what i know , I most liekly would not be in here seeking advice/help
[00:50] <Psi-Jack> She153: If you
[00:50] <Psi-Jack> She153: Kept doing this
[00:51] <Psi-Jack> She153: It would be less
[00:51] <She153> I do get your point
[00:51] <Psi-Jack> She153: likely for people to
[00:51] <Psi-Jack> She153: help you.  Get the point? :)
[00:51] <She153> Thanks , bad habits =(
[00:51] <k1l_> bubba1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1805830  see this thread. i seems its not that easy/possible
[00:52] <k1l_> She153: i told you to read the appdb entries.
[00:52] <Psi-Jack> She153: So, explain the problem, what errors you get trying, etc.. People need details to actually even begin to start helping you.
[00:53] <bubba1> okay bummer. thanks anyway.
[00:53] <k1l_> She153: there a millions of games with millions of combinations wiht linux and wine. so see the appdb entries and read if its possible to play the game or its even not playable.
[00:53] <k1l_> She153: that is not a ubuntu issue, its more a wine-issue.
[00:54] <Psi-Jack> Ohh, is this about wine?
[00:54] <She153> Sorta yes
[00:54] <misterhe> any ideas what could cause all usb peripherals to stop working after resuming from suspend? all the results ive got from searches has been for laptop issues; havent worked for me
[00:54] <She153> let me explain
[00:55] <She153> I downloaded this game that is in the winedb , I installed it , Clicked the .exe it brought up the menu to start the game than disappeared
[00:56] <She153> a friend told me i could not run the game as a root , so than i installed kuser and tried to add another user but failed to do so
[00:56] <She153> yes i am a noob of ubuntu/linux , if i could remove the partition to put windows back onto this computer i would
[00:57] <daftykins> She153: what's stopping you removing the partition?
[00:57] <Psi-Jack> She153: This problem is not Ubuntu-related specifically, but wine. Wine support is in #winehq
[00:58] <Tex_Nick> bubba1 : there is also another link http://www.grailbox.com/2012/05/installing-cisco-linksys-ae2500-wireless-adapter-in-linux/ where comments seem to indicate people have had success ... looks like you'll need to use ndiswrapper with the winDoze XP driver
[00:58] <She153> thank you everyone

[01:15] <tomreyn> sorry, that's the wrong auto-answer :)
[01:15] <tomreyn> i was looking for one saying you should try to provide more details
[01:16] <high-hat> shrug i thought it fit
[01:16] <tomreyn> a better explanation of the problem and the output of the "lsusb" command (run in a temrinal) would help
[01:17] <Tex_Nick> marianne : in terminal type - lsusb ... see if you're mouse is in the resulting list ... if so paste the line here ... that might better help people to help you

[01:19] <puppy_parade> is there a way to find out what is messing up my totem and vlc video playback? totem is flickering, and neither of them will play video at all above a certain window size.
[01:20] <puppy_parade> this happens a few days after I reboot.
[01:21] <intelikey> hi
[01:21] <marianne> Tex_Nick: it will either freeze at random or move around like I'm trying to highlight stuff
[01:21] <Tex_Nick> marianne : does your trackpad work ?
[01:21] <deper29> is someone able to help me with mounting an nfs share? I am doing everything correct as far as I can tell, but my nfs server refuses the mount for all directories except one. my syslog http://bpaste.net/show/64472/
[01:21] <THE_DUDEZ0R> is it possible to migrate from Ubuntu to Mint?
[01:21] <k1l_> !mint | THE_DUDEZ0R
[01:21] <marianne> Tex_Nick: the trackpad has the same kind of issue
[01:22] <Tex_Nick> does the trackpad work ok with the mouse disconnected ?
[01:22] <intelikey> the_dudezor   in short  yes possible.   easy...  no.
[01:23] <marianne> Tex_Nick:no... it's just as ramdom
[01:24] <tomreyn> puppy_parade: run it from a terminal window, make it log (if possible), tail -f ~/.xsession-errors
[01:25] <tomreyn> ...then reproduce the issue and see what is logged/printed to the terminal
[01:25] <Sara> hey I got a install file with txt extention. it is vmware 7. how can i install a txt file?
[01:25] <Tex_Nick> marianne : bout a yera ago a friend had a similar problem on an acer laptop ... what i had to do was disable the trackpad in BIOS ... it's a kludge to have to do that ... but you might give it a try
[01:26] <escott> deper29, what line is working and what isnt
[01:26] <Gwennifer> How do I make changes to my display settings using xrandr permanent?
[01:26] <intelikey> sara do you mean "execute" it?    sh /path/to/filename.txt
[01:26] <misterhe> im running ubuntu 12.04 and my computer wont resume from suspend. i hear the hdds spin up, and the fans running, but no power to my usb mouse/kb and no display
[01:27] <marianne> Tex_Nick: thanks, I'll give it a try... it's only a setting, so it's easy to enable if it doesn't help
[01:27] <deper29> escott: if I do "sudo mount server:/mnt/user/Books /mnt" that works. if I do "sudo mount server:/mnt/user/anything_else /mnt" that doesn't
[01:27] <puppy_parade> I'm not seeing any log options for totem
[01:27] <Sara> I don't know. its supposed to be installed but the install files in ubuntu are usually deb this one is txt
[01:28] <Sara> its confusing
[01:28] <Tex_Nick> marianne : right ... if that doesn't help ask agani in here ... you'll probly find a better solution from someone else ... good luck
[01:28] <intelikey> sara you can try to execute it.   sh /path/to/filename.txt
[01:28] <tomreyn> Sara: either the filename extension is incorrect or, more likely, it's actually not an installer but a text file which explains how the installation process works.
[01:29] <escott> deper29, i guess check the permission on the server for those folders
[01:29] <zykotick9> deper29: if you are using NFS, perhaps only /mnt/user/Books is exported?
[01:29] <Sara> the file is on desktop so it is sh /Desktop?
[01:29] <deper29> zykotick9: if I pastebin my /etc/exports would that help?
[01:30] <Sara> hmm ok thanks :)
[01:30] <intelikey> sara i would look inside first to see if tomreyn's post applies.  and without the leading slash   Desktop/filename......
[01:30] <zykotick9> deper29: can you see what's exported?  is it /mnt/user or something else?
[01:30] <gharz> guys, i miss ubuntu. just so happened that my laptop has pre installed win8... anyone successfully installed ubuntu alongside with win8? please help. thanks!
[01:31] <deper29> zykotick9: if I ssh in, there is stuff in /mnt/user on the server
[01:31] <puppy_parade> tomreyn, " freetype spu text error: Breaking unbreakable line" is all that appears, and that is only for VLC
[01:31] <tomreyn> Sara: you can also install the 'file' package and run the 'file' command it provides on the file in question, this will give you a mostly reliable idea of what type of file it is.
[01:31] <zykotick9> deper29: stuff yes, but what's in /etc/exports?
[01:32] <gharz> anyone?
[01:32] <tomreyn> puppy_parade: might be that you need to install !codecs
[01:32] <gharz> !uefi
[01:32] <tomreyn> !codecs > puppy_parade
[01:32] <msdaisy> gharz, yes. tons of people. Do you need a guide to dual boot?
[01:33] <deper29> zykotick9: http://bpaste.net/show/64476/
[01:33] <deper29> that is my exports
[01:33] <intelikey> tomreyn  just out of curiousity </sp>  does file still ignore .extentions when determining file type ?
[01:33] <Anonymous83n> hello
[01:33] <gharz> msdaisy: yes please... i don't want to install ubuntu using virtualbox... :(
[01:33] <puppy_parade> I have the restricted extras installed. Video works fine, for a while
[01:34] <gharz> msdaisy: a wubi installed is preferred
[01:34] <tomreyn> intelikey: i think it still ignores extensions and interprets magic bytes exlusively. but have not studied its source code.
[01:34] <zykotick9> deper29: ya, just exporting /mnt/user instead of individual directories would be a LOT easier...
[01:35] <Gwennifer> Is there a way to give myself write access to all system files? I'm really tired of having to give myself access every time :x
[01:35] <zykotick9> deper29: you should be able to get to TV Music Movies Downloads Books though
[01:35] <jrib> Gwennifer: what are you doing exactly that requires you to do that so often?
[01:35] <deper29> zykotick9: the server is actually running unRAID, and so every time I make something in the web interface that is under /mnt/user it makes a new entry automatically
[01:35] <tomreyn> puppy_parade: i think you may want to file a bug, since it's obscure enough that it's unlikely you'll find one here right now who knows the answer.
[01:36] <Sara> thanks everyone vmware is working
[01:36] <zykotick9> deper29: i have no idea what that is - and i'll be dropping out at this point.  best of luck.
[01:36] <puppy_parade> I've had someone suggest it was flash and my Radeon drivers
[01:36] <Gwennifer> jrib: My Intel graphics and monitor is poorly recognized on Ubuntu
[01:36] <jrib> Gwennifer: go on...
[01:36] <puppy_parade> this doesn't happen on my laptop, so I am inclined to blame it in AMD
[01:36] <msdaisy> !wubi | gharz
[01:36] <deper29> zykotick9: it's linux is all it is.
[01:36] <puppy_parade> and the Radeon drivers are still not usable.
[01:37] <tomreyn> puppy_parade: it does sound like a driver issue to me. but i'm just guessing really.
[01:37] <gharz> msdaisy: i already used wubi but i can't boot due to uefi issue with windows 8
[01:37] <Gwennifer> jrib: I fixed the problem, sort of, but I still need write access and doing sudo <texteditor> gets really, really annoying really quickly
[01:37] <zykotick9> deper29: and with that comment, i won't be seeing your posts further, good luck.
[01:37] <puppy_parade> is there a way to reset it without logging out or rebooting?
[01:37] <jrib> Gwennifer: you're not answering my question, so it's hard to suggest the best course of action for you.
[01:38] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[01:38] <tomreyn> puppy_parade: closing and restarting the application is insufficient then?
[01:39] <tomreyn> puppy_parade: look into the xrandr command to reset your video output.
[01:40] <puppy_parade> right, I have to live with the viewable area getting a little smaller every time I want to watch a video
[01:40] <puppy_parade> It's maddenning.
[01:41] <tomreyn> puppy_parade: you can also try upgrading / downgrading drivers, and to try the open source ones (which can be a good option either in general or just to ensure it's indeed the driver that's at fault, not your hardware)
[01:42] <puppy_parade> I upgraded to 12.10 for the oss drivers
[01:42] <puppy_parade> and they were still unusable
[01:42] <puppy_parade> I like being able to use all of my monitors
[01:42] <intelikey> is there a free vmware ?
[01:43] <puppy_parade> I think they have a free version, but virtual is a great way to get into VMs intelikey
[01:43] <puppy_parade> *virtualbox
[01:43] <intelikey> ty puppy_parade
[01:45] <tomreyn> puppy_parade: radeon r300 drivers worked quite well for me on 12.04, including multi-monitor output.
[01:45] <puppy_parade> I have a 7000 series card
[01:46] <puppy_parade> support for them is still very rough
[01:50] <tomreyn> puppy_parade: then you may want a newer kernel, too
[01:50] <kelvinella> very annoying, how come ubuntu wont do anything about it
[01:51] <kelvinella> is there a way to disable screensaver while playing flash movie?
[01:51] <puppy_parade> This card has been out nearly a year
[01:52] <puppy_parade> I upraded to 12.10 for the newer kernel version, and it was still inadequate
[01:52] <puppy_parade> I've done post release kernels before, and it's a pain
[01:54] <jsbach> Are there any active mirrors for Ubuntu < 8.x?
[01:55] <zykotick9> !eol | jsbach
[01:55] <Flannel> jsbach: You realise those are all EOL and not supported (and many have major security holes) right?
[01:55] <jrib> jsbach: all those versions are EOL and no longer supported.  Why not use a current, supported version?
[01:55] <ms-daisy> jsbach, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[01:55] <tomreyn> puppy_parade: have you tried searching the web for an answer providing your very model name and a concise description of the major issue? i find this offten helps.
[01:55] <jsbach> Flannel: Thanks for your input.
[01:55] <jsbach> jrib: I have reasons.
[01:55] <jsbach> ms-daisy: Thank you.
[01:56] <Flannel> jsbach: old-releases will work fine.  It has mirrors and isos.  You just need to be aware of that fact first.
[01:56] <jsbach> Flannel: Thanks again.
[01:56] <tomreyn> puppy_parade: and so can reporting bugs, since chances are soemeone else reported it before, your bug report will be tagged a duplicate of that, and the other bug report has a workaround or fix in it.. that's part of why i suggested you file a bug.
[01:56] <Ben64> jsbach: it also does not contain all the security fixes and could leave you vulnerable
[01:56] <Tex_Nick> kelvinella : if you're using VLC there is an option to disable screensaver during playback
[01:56] <Flannel> Ben64: He's aware, four times now.
[01:57] <ms-daisy> The old releases are great for practicing attacks if that's what he's doing Flannel jsbach
[01:57] <puppy_parade> who do I submit fglrx bugs to?
[01:57] <raub> Quick nfs question: why am I being told rpc.statd is not being run? http://pastie.org/private/mdlvmbafdinijp4uotmvzg
[01:57] <kelvinella> Tex_Nick, in ff or chrome
[01:57] <tomreyn> puppy_parade: ati, i would guess
[01:58] <kelvinella> Tex_Nick, and the option doesnt work in xubuntu
[01:58] <Flannel> ms-daisy: Sure, but it's irresponsible to just hand it out without ensuring they're aware theyre getting unsupported (and potentially dangerous) software.
[01:58] <raub> s/being run/running/
[01:58] <Tex_Nick> kelvinella : sorry i thought you were playing flv files
[01:58] <kelvinella> in xubuntu the screensaver just come on no matter what except i have to move the mouse once a while
[01:58] <puppy_parade> I'm pretty sure ATI knows their drivers are crap
[01:59] <ms-daisy> Last count 4 folks let him know Flannel ;) I was positing a valid reason for wanting them.
[01:59] <tomreyn> kelvinella: try caffeine or file a bug with adobe about flash
[01:59] <tomreyn> kelvinella: try caffeine or file a bug with adobe about flash
[02:00] <Flannel> ms-daisy: There's plenty of valid reasons.  But usually its nice to make sure they respond (which is what I was waiting for) before handing it out.  He could've just as easily missed the rest of us and only seen the URL.  It only takes a few extra moments to have a proper conversation, and saves hours of headaches later.

[02:11] <marianne> Tex_Nick: thank you
[02:14] <She153> hmm
[02:15] <tomreyn> in the philosophical or the carnivore sense?
[02:16] <blackshirt> is apparmor just for confine aplication ?
[02:16] <nibbler_> i have a hosted server, i installed 12.4 lts, the hoster (hetzner) has fast mirrors, but it seems he does not offer a Contents-amd64.gz or such, anyway apt-file update gives me: Ignoring source without Contents File:  http://mirror.hetzner.de/ubuntu/packages/dists/precise-backports/Contents-amd64.gz - any hint?
[02:16] <She153> does anyone know how to remove ubuntu ?
[02:16] <nibbler_> She153: just install whatever else you like
[02:17] <ms-daisy> remove it from what She153 ?
[02:17] <nibbler_> ...just don't want to switch everything to a new mirror.... makes sense to use the local one.
[02:17] <tomreyn> blackshirt: its primary purpose is to reduce exploitability of bugs in certain applications
[02:18] <tomreyn> !apparmor > blackshirt
[02:22] <tomreyn> nibbler_: just tell them their mirror of this repository is incomplete
[02:23] <She153> can someone help me remove ubuntu off this computer ?
[02:23] <nibbler_> tomreyn: possibly the best solution....
[02:23] <Sara> need to install vmware 7 on ubuntu 12.04. this is my error need a guide please

[02:23] <nibbler_> She153: answering the questions people ask you might be a good first step
[02:23] <nibbler_> tomreyn: thanks

[02:26] <Frankko> tomreyn: i asked so i will not bother ubuntu developers and users, and it is a complete hassle to make run on anything other than ubuntu. Someone might be helpful
[02:26] <She153> i want to put windows back on my pc
[02:26] <ms-daisy> Yes She153 , correct. So how could you possibly remove the os that backtrack is built upon?
[02:26] <Frankko> She153: noone is stopping you
[02:26] <ms-daisy> so you want to remove backtrack and replace it with windows She153 ?
[02:26] <She153> yes
[02:26] <Tex_Nick> marianne : out of curiosity try hitting the escape key ... does that help
[02:27] <She153> why do i keep getting smart ass answers ?
[02:27] <tomreyn> !steam > Frankko
[02:27] <ms-daisy> She153, it's not smart-ass at all. The way you remove it is entirely dependent on how it was installed.
[02:27] <tomreyn> Frankko: and i apologize.
[02:27] <She153> i meant that for franko
[02:28] <ms-daisy> You can put windows on the machine by using the windows install CDs. That will completely remove everything currently on the computer and replace it with a new windows installation She153
[02:28] <She153> ok maybe i need to talk to someone who knows what backtrack is
[02:28] <marianne> Tex_Nick: let me try
[02:28] <She153> no it wont
[02:28] <ms-daisy> I know what backtrack is.
[02:28] <bazhang_> She153, its NOT supported here
[02:28] <bazhang_> She153, go to the backtrack channel for support.
[02:28] <Tex_Nick> marianne : You may have activated some accessibility options with a key-combination
[02:28] <bazhang_> #backtrack-linux She153
[02:28] <ms-daisy> to remove backtrack bazhang_ ?
[02:28] <She153> i have a windows live cd , and have changed the bios
[02:29] <She153> to boot from cd
[02:29] <ms-daisy> Perfect, you're on your way She153
[02:29] <nibbler_> She153: stop trolling
[02:29] <bazhang_> She153, how does this relate to ubuntu support.  ##windows for windows install help
[02:29] <She153> it keeps going back to backtrack
[02:30] <marianne> Tex_Nick: seems ok for now... I'll keep an eye on it... next problem is the title bar on the windows doesn't have the exit resize or expand buttons
[02:30] <bazhang_> She153, again, not an ubuntu issue.
[02:30] <ms-daisy> figure out what the bios setting is to boot from the CD. If it's not working then you don't have a bootable CD She153
[02:30] <rawr> test
[02:30] <rawr> anyone here use a tomato router?
[02:30] <She153> hmm i have installed that cd on other computers
[02:30] <bazhang_> rawr, try #test
[02:31] <bazhang_> !alis | rawr have a search for their channel
[02:31] <rawr> I'm aware of a channel that exists I was asking if anyone here used it as their channel is dead
[02:31] <rawr> thanks.
[02:31] <bazhang_> rawr, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:32] <Sara> I installed a package with txt extension.(install command :  sudo sh Desktop/VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.i386.txt ) it doesn't work how can i uninstall it?
[02:33] <jrib> Sara: read documentation, ask author, read script
[02:33] <Sara> where are these things?
[02:34] <IdleOne> Sara: VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.i386.txt is a text file, not a package
[02:34] <intelikey> sara    and  adding sudo to that command was your second mistake, and probably the biggest one.
[02:34] <Tex_Nick> marianne : take a look at this ; http://askubuntu.com/questions/134172/window-title-bars-missing-occasionally-in-unity
[02:34] <jrib> Sara: what do you mean?
[02:34] <Sara> actually its not possible to open it with note pad or gedit
[02:34] <stiltzkin> Hey, anyone want to help me figure out why fglrx is failing all of the sudden? All I get when I boot now is commandline, no GUI (this includes recovery mode). Here's what I think is the relevant portion of /var/log/kern.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1441008/
[02:35] <Sara> I extracted it using terminal sudo sh Desktop/VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.i386.txt
[02:35] <jrib> Sara: when you run files like that, they could do absolutely anything they want to your system.  You should only do that with files you absolutely trust
[02:35] <tomreyn> !vmware | Sara
[02:35] <Sara> and it asked for root privilage thats why i added sudo
[02:35] <Tex_Nick> marianne : that's assuming you're runnint unity
[02:35] <stiltzkin> For completeness, the output of uname -a is: Linux luna 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:26:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[02:36] <bazhang> stiltzkin, MINT?
[02:36] <marianne> Tex_Nick: yes, unity... but I can't get the window to resize
[02:37] <Tex_Nick> marianne : did you look at the link i posted above ... http://askubuntu.com/questions/134172/window-title-bars-missing-occasionally-in-unity
[02:37] <marianne> Tex_Nick: yes, looking now
[02:37] <Sara> tomreyn   doesn't say anything about uninstall process
[02:38] <Tex_Nick> that will reset unity to default settings
[02:39] <tomreyn> stiltzkin: first of all, install all available system updates. you are behind, and chances are this issue was since fixed.
[02:39] <robertzaccour> hey yall
[02:39] <tomreyn> stiltzkin: oh and what bazhang asked
[02:40] <stiltzkin> No, I am not running Mint. And I am fully up to date, except this is not the latest version of Ubuntu - I attempted to upgrade and it failed
[02:40] <robertzaccour> I was thinkin about somethin recently
[02:40] <intelikey> howto "minimize" a window in full screen mode ?
[02:40] <stiltzkin> All individual packages are updated however.
[02:40] <robertzaccour> Never could figure out why its so much harder to forgive myself than it is someone else.
[02:40] <tomreyn> stiltzkin: how did it fail? this would be something you should look into first of all.
[02:41] <IdleOne> robertzaccour: How is this ubuntu support related?
[02:42] <stiltzkin> If I remember correctly the updater itself crashed. It threw a lot of messages about conflicting packages (I apologize for not having specifics here, this was about a month ago) and having no way to recover the installation, I shut down the system. Now I'm just looking to see whether there's any way to get the GUI back or whether I just need to bite the bullet and reinstall.
[02:42] <bazhang> stiltzkin, is that elementary OS?
[02:43] <marianne_> Tex_Nick: can you resend the link please, my bird hit the power button and rebooted me
[02:43] <stiltzkin> bazhang, what are you talking about
[02:43] <bazhang> stiltzkin, the luna kernel
[02:43] <stiltzkin> no, luna is my hostname
[02:43] <tomreyn> luna would be the hostname, right
[02:44] <tomreyn> it's not like it's part of the kernel version
[02:44] <Tex_Nick> marianne : lol what happened to the bird ?
[02:44] <stiltzkin> I would not be asking a question here unless it was ubuntu related.
[02:44] <Tex_Nick> marianne_ : http://askubuntu.com/questions/134172/window-title-bars-missing-occasionally-in-unity
[02:45] <marianne_> Tex_Nick: nothing... he's just being a tool... I took the tv remote away cuz he was eating the buttons
[02:46] <tomreyn> stiltzkin: getting package conflicts fixed and installing the remaining updates can be a requirement to get your system back into a working state. you can use the "apt-get" command line utility to do it.
[02:46] <tomreyn> !apt-get > stiltzkin
[02:47] <stiltzkin> ...why are you telling me how to use apt-get?
[02:47] <tomreyn> stiltzkin: because i think you want to fix your package managemnet system and that you would probably have done so by now if you knew how to.
[02:48] <stiltzkin> There is no problem with my packages though...
[02:48] <stiltzkin> this is a driver proble
[02:48] <tomreyn> stiltzkin: for a matter of fact, your kernel version is a couple patch levels behind, so at least you don't have the latest patches. which could be a cause of the issues you're running into.
[02:49] <stiltzkin> Well yeah, it is...because as I said, the upgrade was not successful
[02:49] <stiltzkin> I mean this is not a critical issue or anything, I can always reinstall. I'm really more just curious as to what happened and if it's easier to fix than to reinstall
[02:50] <GMDynamics> Hello!
[02:50] <Tex_Nick> marianne_ : the only thing in the link i provided of importance is ... in terminal type unity --reset ... this will reset unity to default settings ... the link tells warns you that preferences will be reset also
[02:52] <tomreyn> hi GMDynamics
[02:54] <GMDynamics> I'm really tired and accidentally ran sudo apt-get remove apt.
[02:54] <DaemonicApathy> Awesome!
[02:54] <Hajime> gmdynamics, thats no problem if you want remove it
[02:55] <marianne_> Tex_Nick: I was in there setting some of the other fun things I like and the windows decorations go unchecked
[02:55] <GMDynamics> http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120531003431/castleminerz/images/thumb/5/58/Disgusted_Oh_God_Why.png/1067px-Disgusted_Oh_God_Why.png
[02:55] <stiltzkin> Yeah, the driver itself is segfaulting. I think it's reinstall time unfortunately.
[02:55] <GMDynamics> @Hajime i was that sarcasm ? :D
[02:55] <ms-daisy> GMDynamics, you can replace it with dpkg.
[02:56] <marianne_> Tex_Nick: thank you again...
[02:56] <zykotick9> GMDynamics: i assume you want apt back?  do you know if anything else was removed with it?  download the DEB for apt and use dpkg to install it... hopefully that works.
[02:56] <DaemonicApathy> GMDynamics, did you want to know how to reinstall apt?
[02:56] <GMDynamics> dpkg is failing for some weird reason
[02:57] <Hajime> gmdynamics, you can fetch apt,and install it with dpkg
[02:57] <DaemonicApathy> http://www.ehow.com/how_8141696_reinstall-apt-ubuntu.html <~ 4 easy steps
[02:57] <GMDynamics> dpkg keeps failin
[02:57] <zykotick9> GMDynamics: error?
[02:57] <GMDynamics> SegFault
[02:57] <She153> does anyone know anything that will burn iso's ?
[02:58] <GMDynamics> I'm thinking Ill just backup my stuff and reinstall
[02:58] <Neo31> hello folks, i need to install libqt4-webkit 31 bit on ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. is there a way to install it from the repository so it keeps updated or I have to install the deb manually!? thanks
[02:58] <DaemonicApathy> She153: Ubuntu comes with Brasero.
[02:58] <hualet> brasero
[02:58] <Hajime> she153, a lot of tools was available, wodim, brasero,k3b ...
[02:59] <bazhang> !burners > She153
[03:01] <OerHeks> Neo31,  it is in the actual repo's > https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/libqt4-webkit
[03:02] <DaemonicApathy> OerHeks, that's 64-bit.
[03:02] <Neo31> OerHeks: I need the 32 bit version to be installed and managed by a package manager on my ubuntu 64 bit (so it gets updates automaticaly)
[03:02] <Neo31> is that possible ?
[03:03] <ejv> what package is libreadline.so.6 in ?
[03:04] <DaemonicApathy> !info libreadline.so.6
[03:04] <ejv> well that's nonsense
[03:05] <bazhang>  File libreadline.so.6 found in lib64readline6, libreadline6, libreadline6-dbg ejv
[03:05] <ejv> i can't find the object, where does it reside
[03:06] <p0s> what is the proper command for obtaining the installed version of a package? i've been reading dpkg/apt manpages for 30 minutes, can't figure it out on my own, sorry.
[03:06] <tomreyn> Neo31: this very package is abailable for Ubuntu 12.04 precise i386 (32 bit) according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libqt4-webkit
[03:07] <tomreyn> Neo31: as such you should be able to install it using your preferred package manager.
[03:07] <DaemonicApathy> p0s: "dpkg -s <packagename>" works, afaik. No quotes or brackets.
[03:07] <vitoscaletta> hello
[03:07] <tomreyn> hi vitoscaletta
[03:08] <p0s> DaemonicApathy: "dpkg -s" shows the status of the package, which can also be NOT installed.
[03:08] <p0s> DaemonicApathy: so it will also succeed if the package is not installed, which makes it unsuitable for use in scripts
[03:08] <Neo31> tomreyn: I am not sure if this is possible since I am using a 64 bit version and I need to install the 32 bit package
[03:08] <DaemonicApathy> p0s: Does it not also have the version below the status for installed packages?
[03:09] <tomreyn> Neo31: yes it's possible due to !multiarch
[03:10] <ejv> found it, ubuntu is weird where it puts files, it was located in /lib/x86_64...
[03:10] <p0s> DaemonicApathy: if the package is purged, it will not show anything. if it is not installed but configured, it WILL show the version
[03:10] <tomreyn> Neo31: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiArch
[03:11] <tomreyn> Neo31: sudo apt-get install libqt4-webkit:i386
[03:11] <Neo31> tomreyn: ok, thanks a lot
[03:12] <tomreyn> you're welcome
[03:12] <Dark_Haseo> i think i found the reason for my ubuntu to crash 0o0
[03:12] <Dark_Haseo> is transmittion
[03:14] <Sara> anybody knows how i can install VMware-Workstation-Full-9.0.1-894247.i386.bundle?
[03:15] <Hatori> sara, maybe better using virtualbox
[03:15] <Sara> I tried virtual box liked to know this one
[03:15] <bill_> http://irc.freenode.net/
[03:16] <Sara> do you know how to install it?
[03:16] <fizyplankton> pretty sure i can guess the answer to this, but just how badly would it screw my computer over if i were to reboot during a distro upgrade?
[03:16] <bill_> #ubuntu
[03:16] <bill_> could u help
[03:17] <ms-daisy> what's the issue bill_ ?
[03:17] <tomreyn> fizyplankton: depends on where during the upgrade it is. why would you do this, though?
[03:17] <bill_> i have a minecraft issue
[03:17] <Hatori> fizyplankton thats commonly happen in ubuntu ... Great way if you are using rolling release
[03:17] <ms-daisy> bill_, go to #minecraft
[03:18] <bill_> env. is:
[03:18] <bill_> ubuntu version (Lucid Lynx) 10.04 LTS
[03:18] <bill_>     running on an HP-2133
[03:18] <bill_>     2G ram
[03:18] <bill_>     200G HDD
[03:18] <bill_>     minecraft 1.4.5 & 1.3.2
[03:18] <FloodBot1> bill_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:20] <fizyplankton> tomreyn: long story, but some part of X that operates the monitor frequantly dies on my laptop, however all processes created under X still run fine. its as if the monitor itself randomly dies (but it is NOT a hardare issue). i was doing a distro upgrade on it from 10.04 to 12.04. it was about a 1/3 of the war through the "installing upgrades" phase when it died. id rather not just wait 3 hours for the hdd light to stop b
[03:20] <DaemonicApathy> bill_: (Re)Install Oracle Java and Minecraft, and try again.
[03:20] <Tex_Nick> fizyplankton : a clean install is usually preferable to an upgrade
[03:21] <bill_> not sure what u mean "flood"????
[03:22] <tomreyn> bill_: to "flood" means posting more than three lines in quick succession
[03:22] <DaemonicApathy> bill_: 5 lines of text in about one second.
[03:22] <bill_> sorry
[03:23] <fizyplankton> Tex_Nick: while i do agree, im using my laotop as a lab rat before i get the guts to upgrade my desktop, since i had to disable all xrander support and replace it with xcinerama and hand write my own xorg.conf from scratch, and im terrified that the upgrade might somehow break it, and on the off chance it does work, i want it to already have all of its configuration info. plus, my desktop root partition is over a tb
[03:23] <bill_> was this due 2 pg brks?
[03:23] <Zimm3r> Any good app like winscp for windows scp on the command line isn't working and i don't have access to windows
[03:23] <DaemonicApathy> bill_: Yes.
[03:24] <fizyplankton> Zimm3r: do you want to scp from a linux box to a linux box?
[03:24] <dr_willis> Zimm3r:  nautilus can connect to ssh servers. or theres sshfs that mounts a ssh server to a local directory
[03:24] <DaemonicApathy> Or install openssh for Terminal compatibility.
[03:24] <mns> djsf
[03:25] <Zimm3r> I just need to copy a text file and i can't seem to just copy and paste and scp keep complain of no file but I KNOW it is there as I ssh any typed pwd for the directory
[03:25] <dr_willis> Zimm3r:  whats  the exact scp line you are using?
[03:26] <fizyplankton> Zimm3r: be carefull about spaces in file names. either do \backslashes\ before\ spaces\ like\ this, "put the whole path in quotes", "or\ do\ both". i cant remember which combination youhave to use
[03:26] <dr_willis> spaces and CaSe
[03:26] <fizyplankton> do\ backslashes*
[03:26] <tomreyn> fizyplankton: you could try to set the screen to a different resolution using xrandr, maybe that would get your output back. you could also "tail -f" the upgrade log file to get a better idea of how it's progressing.
[03:26] <prome> ** check to see if there are spaces at the beginning of the file
[03:26] <zykotick9> fizyplankton: NOT both " and \
[03:26] <Zimm3r> nautilis worked kinda nice to be integrated but also hard to find lol
[03:26] <Zimm3r> thanks it worked
[03:27] <dr_willis> spaces in filenames = evil
[03:27] <Zimm3r> nope all / and no " "
[03:27] <dr_willis> ;)
[03:27] <bill_> i'm running ubuntu version (Lucid Lynx) 10.04 LTS on an HP-2133 and minecraft freezes on its main screen
[03:28] <DaemonicApathy> Java version?
[03:28] <bill_> java 6
[03:28] <fizyplankton> tomreyn: i cant to that thru ssh, and if i switch to a VTE on my lappy, there is a VERY high chance of X having a heart attack (it goes into a vicious cycle, where nothing works, not even ctrl-alt-backspace, nor switching to yet another VTE. all that does work it alt-sysrq-r,e,i,s,u,b)
[03:29] <DaemonicApathy> Install Java 7?
[03:29] <dcherniv> fizyplankton, why cant you do it through ssh?
[03:29] <zykotick9> fizyplankton: have you enabled ctrl-alt-backspace?  it's certainly not on by default.
[03:29] <bill_> no; not sure how
[03:30] <fizyplankton> dcherniv: because xrandr has to be run locally, straight from a terminal (not even from a screen session locally)
[03:30] <fizyplankton> tomreyn: what is the update log file?
[03:31] <bill_> sorry - not sure whom i'm addressing nor whom me
[03:31] <tomreyn> fizyplankton: i'm pretty sure you can run xrandr thorugh ssh, you just need to prefix it with the proper display. so probably: DIPLAY=:0 xrandr ...
[03:32] <tomreyn> fizyplankton: /var/log/dist-upgrade/
[03:32] <fizyplankton> tomreyn: it says cant open display
[03:32] <SierraAR> Anybody know how I would tell XBMC to use /shared/xbmc/videos as the folder for videos and /shared/xbmc/music as the folder for music, etc etc?
[03:32] <tomreyn> fizyplankton: i had a typo in the variable. try this: DISPLAY=:0 xrandr ...
[03:32] <DaemonicApathy> bill_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/56104/how-can-i-install-sun-oracles-proprietary-java-6-7-jre-or-jdk
[03:33] <tomreyn> DaemonicApathy: does he need to, though? could try openjdk beforehand?
[03:33] <fizyplankton> tomreyn: i typed it in correctly
[03:33] <DaemonicApathy> There have been fewer problems with Oracle Java than with OpenJDK with Minecraft, that I've seen. So I suggest Oracle first.
[03:34] <bill_> so i go to ur link?
[03:35] <DaemonicApathy> bill_: The first answer in that thread gives you a step-by-step on doing it.
[03:35] <tomreyn> fizyplankton: then it will be a different display
[03:36] <Tex_Nick> SierraAR : i haven't used XBMC in a while, there is a setting in preferences though ... you might try #XBMC
[03:36] <bill_> thx
[03:36] <DaemonicApathy> np
[03:37] <fizyplankton> tomreyn: if i do have to brick it, its not the end of the world, because since the hdd is only 30gb (lappy is THAT old), i used dd to make a hdd image and sent it over to my 4tb desktop. so i can always restore the image. only catch is that both comps are on wifi, so transferring that much data is impractical, so what i do it plug a crossover cable into both comps, creata a simple direct connect network, then send it over
[03:37] <fizyplankton> tomreyn: in correctly, not incorrectly
[03:37] <SierraAR> Tex_Nick: K, thanks. Didnt realise they had a channel
[03:39] <Tex_Nick> SierraAR : welcome :)
[03:39] <She153> thank you all
[03:40] <She153> it did burn the cd , but i waisted a whole dvd trying to burn gparted
[03:40] <She153> will fdisk remove partitons ?
[03:41] <tomreyn> fizyplankton: sounds like the way to go then, unless you expect it to happen again next time you dist-upgrade
[03:41] <tomreyn> or you could do a clena install, then copy back your /home
[03:41] <jay__> anyone here from uk
[03:42] <She153> anyone ?
[03:42] <tomreyn> !anyone
[03:43] <fizyplankton> tomreyn: if waiting untill the hdd light stops blinking then rebooting doesnt work, ill restore the image overnight, then perhaps even have the brains to do it while in recovery mode with networking and in a screen session, so i can control it from a stable comp. the commmand is sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, right?
[03:43] <She153> will fdisk remove partitons ?
[03:43] <jay__> pish
[03:44] <She153> ?
[03:44] <HorizonXP> hey, i just downloaded the ubuntu-core tarball to an SD card. It boots, but I don't have the sudo command. how might I add it?
[03:44] <jay__> sudo apt-get install sudo ;)
[03:45] <She153> jay___
[03:45] <She153> im trying to remove all the partitons
[03:45] <jay__> whaaaat
[03:45] <She153> on my system
[03:45] <She153> gparted dont work
[03:45] <She153> :(
[03:45] <fizyplankton> She153: you can use testdisk. it is way more user friendly. just type "sudo testdisk", select the harddrive, select "intel", then "analyse", then use l+r arrow keys to mark it with a "d" on the left margin, then hit enter and follow the prompts. also, i cannot stress this enough, BACK UP YOUR DATA
[03:46] <She153> hmm
[03:46] <HorizonXP> jay__: :P
[03:46] <She153> ok thank you so much
[03:46] <tomreyn> fizyplankton: the ubuntu upgrader does more than that, you should run some other command, i'm looking it up now
[03:46] <fizyplankton> my instructions arent perfect. follow the onscreen instructions, not my paraphrased ones
[03:48] <tomreyn> fizyplankton: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades#Network_Upgrade_for_Ubuntu_Servers_.28Recommended.29
[03:48] <tomreyn> fizyplankton: i'd do the text based upgrade in a screen session
[03:48] <jay__> a double-wammy FART!
[03:49] <tomreyn> fizyplankton: text-based as in "server"
[03:49] <fizyplankton> tomreyn: thanks
[03:50] <jay__> this is fuckin shite
[03:50] <tomreyn> fizyplankton: yw
[03:50] <She153> fiz: i have it already installed
[03:50] <She153> but it wont run
[03:50] <fizyplankton> did you sudo it?
[03:50] <She153> so just type
[03:51] <She153> sudo testdisk ?
[03:51] <m000gle> Does anyone know how to disable the Nautilus media banner; the banner which says things like "This media contains digital photos/audio/etc" and recommends software to open it?
[03:51] <KI4RO> .
[03:52] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> whats the default flash policy port on apache?
[03:52] <fizyplankton> yes, but DO NOT attempt to modify a harddrive if thats the one that you are running ubuntu off of. depending on the circumstances, it might be okay, but unless you know exactly what partitions are mounted, both directly and indirectly, DONT DO IT
[03:53] <SierraAR> fizyplankton: I wasn't aware you were even able to modify a mounted drive
[03:53] <She153> flz: i could really use you here
[03:53] <fizyplankton> She153: if you need to modify the root harddrive, then to be safe, boot from a live CD or flash drive, then do it from there
[03:53] <tomreyn> m000gle: i believe there is an option to disable the "autostart" functionality which is accessible via nautilus' menu
[03:53] <She153> i dont think you understand my problem
[03:53] <She153> and you would most likely say
[03:54] <She153> "this is not supported here"
[03:54] <tomreyn> m000gle: somewhere in preferences, i think, but i don't have nautilus installed at this time
[03:54] <fizyplankton> SierraAR: if a partition is mounted, then the extended partition is "mounted" i.e. you cant (shouldnt (cant)) modify it, not even its free space. i was just over generalizing
[03:54] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> whats the default flash policy port on apache?
[03:54] <SierraAR> Ah k
[03:54] <fizyplankton> She153: whats the partition that you are trying to delete?
[03:55] <jay__> jings crivens help ma boaby
[03:55] <jay__> virginmedia customers, hooray!
[03:55] <She153> all of them , im trying to remove ubuntu and put windows back , yes i have tried to boot from a live windows cd using f-12 boot from cd and it still brings me to ubuntu
[03:56] <USSR> Ti einai edw?
[03:56] <sam_nazarko> jay_ I'm a VM customer, in need of some routing haha
[03:56] <tomreyn> !gr | USSR
[03:56] <Tex_Nick> [_-S1L3NC3-_] : try #httpd ... it's usually an active channel
[03:57] <fizyplankton> if you are trying to blast all partitions to smithereens, there is an option is testdisk to delete all data in the partition table. that will effectively delete them (they are still recoverable at that point, so be carefull if there is abything personal on it. but i doubt there is)
[03:57] <sam_nazarko> guys what's better way of setting up some routes, iproute or route
[03:57] <m000gle> tomreyn :  It's not actually the "autostart," or autorun promt, which is an issue.  I am trying to disable the banner which shows up in the Nautilus window itself, whenever I navitage to a drive ... It is identical to this Ask Ubuntu question, but the solution no longer works in the current version: http://askubuntu.com/questions/47542/how-turn-off-the-message-the-media-contains-digital-photo-message-in-nautilus
[03:58] <She153> : \
[03:58] <She153> i would so pay someone to come to my house and fix this lol
[03:58] <jay__> m fed up
[03:58] <tomreyn> m000gle:  so the "fotos" option on this screenshot wouldn't work?
[03:58] <m000gle> tomreyn :  You can see what these banners look like here http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x100/amoebios_4m/nautilus_media_banner.jpg
[03:59] <ElectricPrism> She153: whats your problem?
[03:59] <m000gle> tomreyn : It no longer exists in Nautilus
[03:59] <jay__> 45gb lol
[03:59] <She153>  im trying to remove ubuntu and put windows back , yes i have tried to boot from a live windows cd using f-12 boot from cd and it still brings me to ubuntu
[03:59] <fizyplankton> She153: are you confortable with port forwarding?
[03:59] <Blue1> She153: easy way is to overwrite the mbr
[03:59] <tomreyn> m000gle: oh, well then i don't know, i'm afraid. have you tried searching the web for one of those messages, combined with something like "deactivate"?
[04:00] <IdleOne> She153: this is not an ubuntu problem, join ##windows and ask them for help with installing windows
[04:00] <She153> flz : sorta i know what it is ...
[04:00] <fizyplankton> IdleOne: its not an ubuntu problem, its an ununtu solution
[04:00] <m000gle> tomreyn :  Yep.  I've been all over. IRC was a last resort
[04:00] <ElectricPrism> She153: why don't you leave your boot loader and just remove the ubuntu option or make windows default?
[04:00] <ElectricPrism> She153: it is technically the easiest option, or you may need to rewrite the windows boot loader / mbr
[04:01] <Blue1> She153: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/using-dd-to-zero-the-mbr-query-606489/
[04:01] <fizyplankton> She153: if you felt comfortable, i could SSH into your comp, then do it for you, and set it up so we both share the same console window, so that if i get too frisky with your comp, you can pull the plug on me
[04:01] <Enul> when setting up the weather indicator applet i cant click apply to finish it..any ideas on how to solve this?
[04:02] <Blue1> She153: just overwrite the mbr as shown - it will work.
[04:02] <fizyplankton> Blue1: She153: cleasring the MBR with zeros is the equivelent of deep-throating a shotgun
[04:02] <tomreyn> m000gle: my last ideas would be to check whether those are nautilus plugins you can deactivate using its menu, or whether you can use gconf-editor to disable it, or whether there are *nautilus* packages which provide this very funcationality which you could uninstall
[04:03] <Blue1> fizyplankton: no argument there - but it would remove grub completely.
[04:03] <Gacnt> If I choose my drive with my windows on it, with WUBI installer, will it format my windows drive or do I need to pick a partition?
[04:04] <Enul> no ideas?
[04:05] <Blue1> Gacnt: wubi is designed to install linux under windows -- it will look like one big file to windows - it does NOT reformat the windows drive.
[04:06] <Gacnt> Blue1 oh ok, will it have the option to install to disk after I do it, like a livecd would?
[04:06] <Blue1> Gacnt: that I don't know - it has been a good long while since I have used it.
[04:07] <Gacnt> Blue1 okey doke thanks
[04:07] <Blue1> Gacnt: you are welcome
[04:10] <tomreyn> Gacnt: some links, in case it helps:
[04:10] <tomreyn> !wubi
[04:11] <tomreyn> i don't think you will be able to move the installation to a real partition later one. it's probably possible but that'd be for very advanced users.

[04:24] <crazyhorse18> hey.. in ubuntu
[04:24] <Chaos7Theory> What makes btrfs so much better than ext4?
[04:24] <crazyhorse18> is there a way of getting the name of the application which currently has focuses
[04:24] <crazyhorse18> focus.. and the title it's displaying
[04:25] <ElectricPrism> Chaos7Theory: It'll help you break your system
[04:26] <Chaos7Theory> Due to it being unstable?
[04:26] <ElectricPrism> Chaos7Thoery: It's new, its interesting, it does the dishes, it takes out the garbage, it does your taxes, etc...
[04:26] <ElectricPrism> yes, I actually just asked about using it over ext4 for my 2TB and it was highly discouraged on #gentoo, #debian, and other channels
[04:27] <Chaos7Theory> ElectricPrism: Ah, okay. Just not sure why they want to migrate it as the default, since it seems like you need to defragment it.
[04:28] <ElectricPrism> Chaos7Theory: Me either, I just want my filesystem to work and store files, maybe they focus on HDDs moving to SSD who knows really
[04:29] <crazyhorse18> hey.. i want to write a program that monitors my usage of various applications

[04:43] <HorizonXP> ok, so i'm not sure how to fix this
[04:43] <HorizonXP> i'm trying to boot from sdcard on my arm chromebook
[04:43] <cub> hmm
[04:43] <HorizonXP> kernel boots, wifi module is loaded
[04:43] <HorizonXP> but... I can't connect to my wifi
[04:44] <HorizonXP> no iwconfig
[04:45] <tomreyn> HorizonXP: is your chromebook running ubuntu then?
[04:46] <HorizonXP> tomreyn: yes, it's booting off the SD card, i'm in the text-only console
[04:46] <HorizonXP> so i'm thinking, i need to download the packages into the apt-get cache so I can install iwconfig
[04:46] <HorizonXP> but I can't find the arm arch ones
[04:46] <HorizonXP> just i386 and amd64
[04:46] <tomreyn> HorizonXP: and you installed to the sd card how?
[04:47] <HorizonXP> tomreyn: untar'd ubuntu-core.tar.gz into it
[04:48] <tomreyn> okay i bet that would be lacking wireless-tools
[04:48] <tomreyn> the easiest option is probably to plug in a cable if thats an option
[04:48] <HorizonXP> tomreyn: amongst other things like sudo
[04:49] <HorizonXP> tomreyn: doesn't have an ethernet port :-(
[04:49] <HorizonXP> if I had a usb-ethernet adapter, i'd use it
[04:49] <tomreyn> doh, who made you buy such hardware...
[04:49] <HorizonXP> it's a Google Chromebook. I prefer it thin and light
[04:51] <crazyhorse18> any of the other computer manufacturers make anything that comes close to MBP yet?
[04:51] <HorizonXP> so where can I download the ARM packages from?
[04:54] <almoxarife> HorizonXP: you already installed and are running an arm ubuntu correct?
[04:54] <needhelp> can someone explain why I can't install the latest kernel (3.7) via synaptic?
[04:55] <HorizonXP> almoxarife: yes, but it's bare bones. doesn't have stuff like ifconfig, iwconfig, or sudo
[04:55] <almoxarife> HorizonXP: does it have apt-get?
[04:55] <almoxarife> HorizonXP: nevermind, you dont have networking yet
[04:55] <cub> i have a q
[04:56] <cub> im trying to run apache2 but i dont have a server name...
[04:56] <cub> what should i put there?
[04:56] <HorizonXP> almoxarife: apt-get is there, but doesn't work without networking
[04:56] <bobweaver> cub,  look at hots file
[04:56] <HorizonXP> so i'm trying to get networking to work
[04:56] <cub> hots file?
[04:56] <almoxarife> HorizonXP: the arm pckgs are at the same repos, diff location
[04:56] <HorizonXP> to do that, i need iwconfig
[04:56] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  what is card for networking ?
[04:56] <tomreyn> HorizonXP: unfortunately i don't know where to get arm packages from, or whether it's a fully supported architecture, yet (it is for debian). You could try to use this instead, it surely has a broader set of tools: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OmapDesktopInstall
[04:57] <bobweaver> HorizonXP, lspci -vnn |pastebinit
[04:57] <bobweaver> oh wait not a netwprk
[04:57] <Tex_Nick> cub ... not sure which screen you're on but sounds like you might put localhost there
[04:57] <bobweaver> eff that
[04:57] <needhelp> or more specifically, does anyone know why the most recent kernel version in ubuntu 12.10 is only version 3.5?
[04:57] <bobweaver> look at linaro packages HorizonXP  wait you are rinning armel
[04:58] <bobweaver> runnning *
[04:58] <HorizonXP> so i want to download this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/iw
[04:58] <shaneo> hey giys so inaccidenty car chmod 644 * on my drive foregtting the / before the * is there a way to fix this?
[04:58] <HorizonXP> i will manually put it into /var/cache/...
[04:58] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  you are on armel ?
[04:58] <shaneo> *guys
[04:58] <HorizonXP> yes
[04:58] <cub> Tex_Nick, well i obviosuly don't have a domain registered :P
[04:58] <HorizonXP> so on that page
[04:58] <HorizonXP> there is no arm listed
[04:58] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  what is board ?
[04:58] <HorizonXP> bobweaver: google chromebook
[04:58] <bobweaver> this is usb wifi I take it
[04:59] <tdhz77> Can anybody help me update my appletv1 with crystalbuntu with these kernel images/headers download.crystalbuntu.com?
[04:59] <bobweaver> pshhh lol
[04:59] <bobweaver> armel 5 or 7 HorizonXP
[04:59] <Tex_Nick> cub try #httpd ... that's usually an active channel
[04:59] <HorizonXP> bobweaver: i would bet 7, but no idea
[05:00] <cub> ty
[05:00] <cub> ]
[05:00] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  this is armel ? or not ?
[05:00] <tomreyn> cub: the servername hardly matters if you only have a single site
[05:00] <odiv> evening
[05:00] <HorizonXP> bobweaver: it is armel
[05:00] <odiv> (time zone-ist)
[05:01] <bobweaver> lol'
[05:01] <bobweaver> what is board then HorizonXP  or is this a x11 atom chrome book ?
[05:01] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  pandaboard ?  pi ??
[05:02] <HorizonXP> it's an ARM based chromebook, the new one
[05:02] <HorizonXP> not x86
[05:02] <cub> yeah i was getting some error earlier.. and i couldnt even connect using my ip..
[05:02] <bobweaver> at any rate you HorizonXP  should look at linaros ppa
[05:02] <bobweaver> !linaro
[05:02] <HorizonXP> tbh, i'm not sure why it matters, i need to download the packages
[05:02] <bobweaver> er
[05:03] <bobweaver> http://www.linaro.org/ >> HorizonXP
[05:03] <bobweaver> oh it matters
[05:03] <michael87> so how do I change the color scheme on ubuntu? I'm used to kde and I just want to have control over the color of the windows and upper bar.
[05:04] <bobweaver> what kinda volor schema do you want to change michael87
[05:04] <bobweaver> like dash ?
[05:04] <bobweaver> the panel ?
[05:04] <michael87> just the windows. a gui tool that would make it easy on a daily bases would be nice. like blue or red. or green. Whatever I'm in the mood in for that day
[05:05] <bobweaver> michael87,  then set the gsettings that way
[05:05] <bobweaver> find the gnof file that runs it michael87
[05:05] <michael87> bobweaver, I'm using unity.
[05:05] <bobweaver> bconf *
[05:05] <bobweaver> er
[05:05] <bobweaver> gconf *
[05:05] <bobweaver> even better then michael87
[05:06] <bobweaver> open dconf-editor or ccsm and have at it michael87
[05:06] <HorizonXP> bobweaver: i have ubuntu running on it. i do not have networking. that's the problem.
[05:06] <michael87> bobweaver, I don't know how to do that. I'm sort of a newb to linux
[05:06] <HorizonXP> to solve it, i'd like to manually download the packages and install them
[05:07] <bobweaver> michael87,  open dconf-editor
[05:07] <HorizonXP> I need to know where they are so I can download them
[05:07] <michael87> bobweaver, or rather ubuntu. I came from linux mint
[05:07] <michael87> bobweaver, dconf-editor is open
[05:07] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  if you are using arm then you need to complie kernel to know that
[05:07] <bobweaver> michael87,  fing com.canonical.Unity
[05:07] <HorizonXP> bobweaver: i copied and used an existing kernel
[05:07] <bobweaver> find *
[05:08] <HorizonXP> dmesg shows that the wireless card is being found
[05:08] <HorizonXP> i don't have iwconfig to configure it tho
[05:08] <michael87> bobweaver, done and done
[05:08] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  how does a kernel work wth out "drivers ? "
[05:08] <HorizonXP> bobweaver: you're not reading what I'm saying.
[05:09] <bobweaver> no you are not reading what I am saying
[05:09] <HorizonXP> what drivers are you referring to?
[05:09] <HorizonXP> for the wireless card?
[05:09] <bobweaver> modules HorizonXP  modules
[05:10] <HorizonXP> bobweaver: yes modules. you used the word "drivers"
[05:10] <bobweaver> LOL
[05:10] <HorizonXP> and i said, dmesg shows my wireless card being found and loaded
[05:10] <HorizonXP> because I have the modules for it
[05:10] <bobweaver> there  the same thing
[05:10] <HorizonXP> when i copied the kernel, I copied the modules too
[05:10] <michael87> bobweaver, I did what you said now where do I go under unity to start customising the windows?
[05:10] <bobweaver> well then where did you get image / tar
[05:10] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  ^^
[05:11] <HorizonXP> bobweaver: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/releases/12.10/release/ubuntu-core-12.10-core-armhf.tar.gz
[05:11] <HorizonXP> started with that
[05:11] <HorizonXP> untar'd it
[05:11] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  it is chrooted /
[05:11] <bobweaver> ?
[05:11] <bobweaver> or installed ?
[05:11] <HorizonXP> i'm booting from it
[05:11] <HorizonXP> it's on an sdcard
[05:11] <one> ...
[05:11] <bobweaver> do you need to create another chroot and install full tar ?
[05:11] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  ^^
[05:11] <HorizonXP> no, i shouldn't have to...
[05:12] <bobweaver> sounds like it to me HorizonXP
[05:12] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  this is  qemu or raw metal ?
[05:12] <cub> well i managed to get apache working but my stupid firewall and router is causing problems for me accesing some of it
[05:12] <cub> lol
[05:12] <HorizonXP> bobweaver: what makes you think it would be qemu? it's raw metal, on my chromebook, booting from an sd card
[05:13] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  I thought that the nly vm to run armel is qemu :/
[05:13] <tomreyn> HorizonXP: i think overall the issue you're running into here is that this device and custom installations on ARM don't seem to be supported, yet. you could look into ChrUbuntu, or try to continue as you're doing already. I guess you'd have it easier when using debian since they have arm package repositories.
[05:14] <bobweaver> lies
[05:14] <tomreyn> there is also chrubuntu, a patched ubuntu to work on chromebooks, but it's rather young, and not official either.
[05:15] <tomreyn> you might find your packages there, though.
[05:15] <HorizonXP> tomreyn: yeah, i found the packages
[05:15] <tomreyn> or you could try the live cd image again
[05:15] <HorizonXP> http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/s/sudo/
[05:15] <bobweaver> HorizonXP,  you are going to .... look at linaro for armel
[05:15] <michael87> bobweaver, I am finding nothing in  that location you gave me that will help me change the color scheme on ubuntu
[05:16] <tomreyn> HorizonXP: nice, i wasn't aware of those repositories.
[05:16] <arabcian> wow 1500 noobs that cant configure debian

[05:18] <michael87> anyone else know how to customize the color scheme on ubuntu?
[05:18] <michael87> I'm getting really tired already of ambiance and radiance and just want to easily change the color scheme already like I did in kde
[05:18] <Guest7389> i don't kown

[05:20] <bobweaver> look in gconf-[123]-libs michael87
[05:20] <dr_willis> michael87:  i recall some themes or tools that worked with some themes to alter overall color schemes for unity and gnome-shell.    saw them mentioned on the omgubuntu or webupd8 blog sites

[05:24] <dr_willis> michael87:  i recall some themes or tools that worked with some themes to alter overall color schemes for unity and gnome-shell.    saw them mentioned on the omgubuntu or webupd8 blog sites
[05:25] <bsdbandit> ubuntu rocks
[05:25] <bsdbandit> im rocking out with it right now
[05:25] <arabcian1> wow bsdbandits can rock with ubuntu

[05:30] <dryhay> Problem: "Failed to retrieve video information". Description here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2094845 Could I get any quick solution here?
[05:33] <whoever> hi all i am tring to purge mysql so that i can start fresh and now i keep getting package install errors i use aptitude to remove mysql-common, mysql-server and removed the config in /etc/mysql and /var/lib/mysql/, can somoone assist
[05:34] <blackshirt> whoever, are remove its config manually ?
[05:34] <dr_willis> !aptitude
[05:35] <blackshirt> i think aptitude has multiarch support ...
[05:35] <whoever> blackshirt: yes i removed the config manualy after useing aptitude to remove pkg
[05:35]  * amit__ prefer apt-get
[05:36] <blackshirt> whoever, the bad thing have been happen
[05:36] <blackshirt> Amit__ thats very subjective ... But,maybe better don't use mix them ...
[05:37] <blackshirt> whoever, pass to dpkg to recreate new config files ....
[05:37] <blackshirt> whoever, reinstall it wouldn't solve the problem
[05:38] <whoever> blackshirt: how to pass dpkg
[05:38] <whoever> and i tried apt-get -purge, and there isnt a purge command
[05:39] <kindofabuzz> whoever: no -
[05:39] <blackshirt> whover, apt-get purge
[05:39] <blackshirt> apt has support to purge ...
[05:41] <Bustacap> 12.10 is the newest right?
[05:42] <whoever> blackshirt: so after apt-get purge, I am still getting server errors durring the reinstall
[05:43] <blackshirt> whoever, yes ... What exactly the error is ?
[05:44] <tomreyn> dryhay: works for me. maybe you have some browser extensions which are getting in the way?
[05:44] <whoever> pkg mysql-server not configured yet, dpkg error processing mysql-server --configure
[05:45] <michael87> ok I'm using 12.10 and I want to know what program can change the color for gtk3. The windows that uses gnome 3. thats as specific as I can get becuase ubuntu is frusterating me right now when tryying to change the colors
[05:46] <dryhay> tomaw: It worked for me once, but failed now. I don't use any extensions. Could I get under my thread any step-by-step check list to find out what is wrong, plz?
[05:46] <tomreyn> whoever: post the entire output, including the command you were running, to a pastebin.
[05:47] <dryhay> tomaw: sry, it was to tomreyn :)
[05:48] <whoever> tomreyn: blackshirt http://pastebin.com/VL6NBYr8
[05:48] <tomreyn> dryhay: i'm afraid not. it's hard to support flash, since it's proprietary (closed source) software which is badly supported on linux by its vendor.
[05:48] <Chamunks> alsamixer has completely stopped recognizing my onboard audio
[05:49] <Chamunks> 12.04 lts is what im running i believe
[05:49] <dryhay> tomreyn: but it worked like an hour ago before, so the problem is with some settings related with chromium probably.
[05:49] <tomreyn> dryhay: that's possible, especially if you changed any
[05:50] <Chamunks> sorry 12.10
[05:50] <tomreyn> whoever: what's the output of this? sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.5 mysql-server
[05:50] <whoever> tomreyn: was that error of any help
[05:51] <tomreyn> whoever; yes, you did not post the command you were running, though
[05:52] <whoever> tomreyn: http://pastebin.com/YK1Qgnbw
[05:53] <tomreyn> Chamunks: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-help/sound-nosound.html
[05:53] <Chamunks> tomreyn, thanks I'll look that over
[05:55] <tomreyn> whoever: this output looks like it was edited. on the top it says "$ sudo apt-get purge" as if this was the command you had run, but the output below is not what this command could have returned.
[05:55] <Chamunks> its so strange because it detects my usb producer mic
[05:55] <Chamunks> just fine
[05:56] <whoever> tomreyn: '$' is the end of my terminal promp
[05:56] <whoever> *prompt
[05:56] <tomreyn> Chamunks: good luck, and feel free to come back here after you're over it
[05:57] <tomreyn> whoever: i'm fully aware of this. ;) however, this is the command i suggested to run: <tomreyn> whoever: what's the output of this? sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.5 mysql-server
[05:57] <Chamunks> tomreyn, it picks up a few soundcards on the output and it picks up my mobo card as HD-Audio Generic  but only shows the S/PDIF
[05:58] <whoever> tomreyn: ah sorry looks like the url didn't copy
[05:58] <Chamunks> problem is it worked before the machine went for a reboot a few weeks ago.
[05:59] <Chamunks> in fact its only picking up the audio processor in my hdmi section of my video card.. :S
[05:59] <tomreyn> Chamunks: see if you can find the devices when you run pavucontrol
[06:00] <tomreyn> whoever: np
[06:00] <whoever> tomreyn: http://pastebin.com/vLwaxGzT
[06:00] <Chamunks> tomreyn, not in playback or recording
[06:00] <Chamunks> and under configuration its not there either
[06:00] <Chamunks> :S
[06:01] <almoxarife> Chamunks: your bios have a soundcard preference?
[06:01] <whoever> TonyL: so reinstall noW or you got something else ?
[06:01] <Chamunks> well trick is its working fine on my WineDoze install
[06:02] <Chamunks> almoxarife, ^
[06:03] <blackshirt> whoever,if you freely pleased, you can search google for pass to dpkg options to recreate missing conf files
[06:03] <blackshirt> whoever, install it manually with that options ...
[06:04] <blackshirt> Whoever, you have scrambled your config ..... And apt was depend on consisten state of dpkg internal
[06:04] <Chamunks> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1441213/
[06:04] <tomreyn> whoever: so it should be purged by now
[06:04] <blackshirt> consistent
[06:04] <Chamunks> thats a paste of my lspci
[06:05] <arabcian1> 1533 people cant configure debian
[06:05] <michael87> screw it this is p#$ing me off. can some sone tell me how to install a theme. I wanted an easy theme tweaking tool but it doesn't look like one for ubuntu exists
[06:05] <blackshirt> arabcian1, ask in#debian if it spesificto debian
[06:06] <almoxarife> michael87: missing kde yet?
[06:06] <ouyes> Is there anyone successfully disable the inter ive cpu's GPU? and use the discrect GPU under any version of UBUNTU?
[06:06] <michael87> almoxarife, figured me out it seems. I love the unity bar but this is rediculas
[06:06] <tomreyn> Chamunks: 2 audio devices were detected. unless you require the hdmi one, the easiest option is usually to blacklist its module and reboot.
[06:06] <ouyes> I have tried 12.04 12.10, both failed to install the nvidia driver
[06:07] <almoxarife> michael87: coming from kde you have expectations that wont be met my a desktop that was kept simple
[06:07] <Chamunks> tomaw, weird i'll have to do what almoxarife and check the bios because its only detecting two of my 4 audio devices (webcam-mic, mic, hdmi)
[06:08] <BluesKaj> ouyes, did you try the nvidia-current driver by installing in the terminal ?
[06:08] <tomreyn> Chamunks: running ldpci -knnv should tell you, amongst other, the kernel driver in use for a given piece of hardware. note that you may have additional USB audio devices (run lsusb to check). you can match the modules against the 'lsmod' (currently loaded modules) output.
[06:08] <tomreyn> Chamunks: please try harder to address the right nicknames, people may get annoyed otherwise ;-)
[06:09] <ouyes> BluesKaj, yes, I did a lot of google search, and tried a few versions of Nvidia driver, all of them has problems,
[06:09] <michael87> almoxarife, well that is just ridiculous. I mean how are they supposed to draw in people to ubuntu if you can't even customize the freaken window colors. Seriously.
[06:09] <ouyes> BluesKaj, you will get low resolutions or you will get your window border gone after installation of the driver
[06:10] <michael87> almoxarife, maybe I should have stayyed with mint. This is all ridiculous.
[06:10] <Chamunks> tomreyn, hah woops! :P
[06:11] <ouyes> BluesKaj, the only working version is through the bumblebee, but some applications doesn't support optirun, also if you have a good GPU why you need intel's?
[06:11] <almoxarife> michael87: mint? does mint have the ???? what ever your looking for?
[06:11] <BluesKaj> ouyes, I'm using the nvidia-current with no problems on kubuntu 12.10
[06:11] <ouyes> BluesKaj, what module of laptop do you have?
[06:11] <BluesKaj> oh optimus, ouyes that's a known problem
[06:12] <ouyes> BluesKaj, yes optimus
[06:12] <michael87> almoxarife, mint with kde I mean. I had some lag with video files but I really liked it. ubuntu's unity was so simple that it made me want to switch from kde. But this window thing is driving me batty
[06:12] <tomreyn> Chamunks: I had a typo there earlier: "running ldpci -knnv should tell you" should have been: running lspci -knnv should tell you
[06:12] <ouyes> BluesKaj, I just don't know which has a problem , the driver or the unity
[06:12] <Chamunks> tomreyn, I caught that :P
[06:13] <tomreyn> :)
[06:13] <Chamunks> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1441237/
[06:13] <almoxarife> michael87: video lag is not kde related, it is codec/player/card related
[06:13] <BluesKaj> my laptop use an intel gpu , ouyes , but my desktop has a nvidia 8400gs , not a fancy card , but t works fine
[06:13] <Chamunks> theres so many things in there :|
[06:14] <michael87> almoxarife, well it happened after I got the ati drivers for my graphics card. I'm begining to think it might have been that becuase ubuntu runs smoother without the driver for some reason
[06:14] <ouyes> BluesKaj, I am installing the u 12.10 amd64 right now, and forget I have a gt 650M card, and wait for some fix to resolve the issue, what a pity! I have a good card, but no software can get it work!
[06:14] <michael87> almoxarife, also the gnome window snap is so so much nicer then kde's window snap.
[06:14] <almoxarife> michael87: snap?
[06:15] <BluesKaj> ouyes, what's the low graphics level driver , the optimus  use 2 gpus
[06:15] <Chamunks> tomreyn, I would imagine its this 00:14.2 Audio device [0403]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [1002:4383] (rev 40)
[06:15] <michael87> almoxarife, you know aero snap. when you drag a window to the side of the screen and it auto fills that side of the screen
[06:15] <BluesKaj> !optimus
[06:16] <BluesKaj> !info optimus
[06:16]  * almoxarife must not do snap,
[06:17] <BluesKaj> ouyes, run , sudo lshw -C video
[06:17] <ouyes> BluesKaj, I am just wondering why there is no way to completely disable the intel GPU
[06:18] <BluesKaj> ouyes, bumblebee is supposed to allow both gpus to work as designed
[06:18] <ouyes> BluesKaj, http://pastebin.com/1Xzu2imc the outpu
[06:19] <ouyes> BluesKaj, but bumblebee is not good enough, and some applications won't see it
[06:20] <Chamunks> tomreyn, its just not passing that to the alsamixer and or pavucontrol
[06:21] <x69> kick pc-x69
[06:21] <tomreyn> Chamunks: passing what to what?
[06:21] <Chamunks> 00:14.2 Audio device [0403]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [1002:4383] (rev 40)
[06:21] <Guest___> greetings
[06:21] <Chamunks> seems like that would be the device right there
[06:21] <x69> name...
[06:22] <nouh> hipchat
[06:22] <Chamunks> tomreyn, i suppose im out of time to work on this have a good night and thanks for the attempt :)
[06:23] <tomreyn> Chamunks: i see. disabling the hdmi device isn't as easy as i had hoped for, since it uses the same driver as the onboard audio device. there should be an option to instruct linux not to load any drivers for a given pci device or pci id in the first place but this is more complex than i had hoped for.
[06:23] <tomreyn> and you!
[06:23] <BluesKaj> tomreyn, run , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , there won't be any reesponse in the terminal if the the module/driver loads properly , then you'll probly have to reboot
[06:24] <tomreyn> Chamunks: i see. disabling the hdmi device isn't as easy as i had hoped for, since it uses the same driver as the onboard audio device. there should be an option to instruct linux not to load any drivers for a given pci device or pci id in the first place but this is more complex than i had hoped for.
[06:24] <Chamunks> hehe thanks
[06:24] <Chamunks> I saw that re just as it was about to go down for restart
[06:24] <tomreyn> and a good night to you, too
[06:24] <Chamunks> cheers
[06:24] <Chamunks> I'll just fresh install i guess
[06:25] <Chamunks> it worked fine on a clean install
[06:25] <Chamunks> I dont know what changed
[06:25] <tomreyn> see if you have a ~/.dmix file
[06:25] <Chamunks> I really hadn't needed to touch the audio driver in quite some time.
[06:25] <Chamunks> anyways afk
[06:25] <tomreyn> renaming this may help, too
[06:25] <Chamunks> which?
[06:26] <Chamunks> its driving me crazy that I cant use my linux due to no sound so im happy to see it work again if it does lol.
[06:26] <tomreyn> a file called .dmix (starting with a dot and thus hidden in file browsers by default) in your home directory
[06:27] <Chamunks> tomreyn, .dmrc?
[06:28] <tomreyn> Chamunks: no that's something else
[06:28] <Chamunks> when I had skype installed before they fixed the bug I had to constantly delete pulse audio configs.
[06:28] <Chamunks> mm i dont see dmix
[06:28] <tomreyn> it was just a guess
[06:28] <HorizonXP> finally got wireless working
[06:28] <Chamunks> im in nautilus and hit ctrl h
[06:28] <Chamunks> fair
[06:28] <HorizonXP> installing via apt-get properly now :)
[06:28] <tomreyn> HorizonXP: congrats
[06:29] <HorizonXP> tomreyn: thanks :)
[06:29] <Chamunks> I'll  just delete all the PA configs and let PA repair itself
[06:29] <HorizonXP> it'll be nice to be able to dual-boot ChromeOS + Ubuntu on this :)
[06:29] <HorizonXP> i'll likely be in Ubuntu most of the time tho
[06:31] <tomreyn> HorizonXP: it sure is an affordable device if you want it extra thin, the others are cheaper than apples' now but still much more expensive than this one (but also much more powerful, too)
[06:32] <Chamunks> tomreyn, and that didnt work ok whichever im going to bed
[06:32] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> How Can I Find my serves flash policy port?
[06:33] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> Servers *
[06:33] <HorizonXP> tomreyn: agreed. i needed portability, and I was willing to compromise on power for price.
[06:33] <sklsolls> "NIGGERS" ?
[06:33] <HorizonXP> that said, so far, this device has more than enough power for me
[06:35] <tomreyn> HorizonXP: yes it's probably fine if you like working on a console or just do some web browsing, mail and occasional text editing/spreadsheets.
[06:36] <hangdeadman> I just logged into Unity 2D on ubuntu 12.04 and when I logged back into regular unity, my panel and launcher are gone. I opened firefox through a terminal. What do I do??
[06:36] <cub> put a new panel on?
[06:37] <cub> right click > add panel?
[06:39] <hangdeadman> what about unity launcher? none of my compiz settings are working either.
[06:39] <hangdeadman> if i minimize firefox to do that where will it be minimized to/
[06:39] <hangdeadman> ?
[06:40] <cub> hmm
[06:40] <cub> this just started righ?
[06:40] <hangdeadman> yeah
[06:40] <michael87> ok I'm going to give cinnamon a wirl and then I'm probably going back to kde. Unless someone can tell me an easy gui program that will let me change unity's window gtk. This is extremely frustrating
[06:40] <cub> what were you doing before it started
[06:40] <cub> good luck mikey
[06:41] <hangdeadman> i already tried in the terminal "unity repair" and "unity replace" and got nothing.
[06:41] <cub> yes, but what were you doing before it happened
[06:41] <cub> did you add/remove anythign
[06:41] <cub> update?
[06:41] <hangdeadman> I turned my computer on, logged into unity 2D just to see the difference, logged out and into unity and it's all gone.
[06:41] <cub> upgrade?
[06:42] <hangdeadman> ah
[06:42] <cub> i had an issue like that on mint linux
[06:42] <michael87> I don't understand why ubuntu just can't fix this so that you can theme up your windows without downloading a theme from online.
[06:42] <cub> i installed another desktop environment to check it out
[06:42] <hangdeadman> i may have upgraded actually beore i turned it off earlier
[06:42] <cub> then when i switched back it was kinda messed up
[06:43] <cub> while i don't know the answer to your question, someone else here may... i know a reset helped..
[06:43] <cub> at least for me...
[06:43] <cub> also make sure you're selecting the proper session
[06:43] <cub> like on mine
[06:43] <cub> i had a bunch of new sesssions
[06:43] <FloodBot1> cub: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:43] <cub> like kde this... kde that..
[06:44] <michael87> seriously before I do this no one knows a tool to customise the windows theme? I'm sure you guys figured something out. Unless you don't use unity lol
[06:45] <almoxarife> cub: its like this, once one has used kde, one has certain expectations about every other DE
[06:45] <cub> almoxarife, yeah... i like KDE in some ways, but honestly Gnome is a bit better... doesnt seem as buggy.. but neither work good if i'm worried about memory issues
[06:47] <michael87> I love kde but I wanted more aeroglassness if that makes sence. Like windows 7. Only better lol
[06:47] <cub> yeah i know it's all good.. to each their own
[06:48] <cub> aero is pretty nice
[06:48] <cub> when i said that, i looked at my Win7 laptop
[06:48] <cub> lol
[06:48] <almoxarife> whats an aero? automobile?
[06:49] <michael87> cub, yeah. I know theres a few ways to get an Aero like feel but it has always been a pain in the but to set up lol
[06:50] <cub> lol true
[06:50] <Scott_S> Random input, I prefer lxde. So much faster, although a bit less functional.
[06:50] <aeon-ltd> why not go for a UI you want? Imagine you could have anything - chances are in linux it's possible
[06:50] <cub> it took a while for me to get used to Aero when i first got Win7, I was so used to the classic Windows themes
[06:51] <michael87> I love unity's fuctions so so much. But hate that ubuntu's being mean about customizing the freaken windows
[06:51] <cub> i was going to say that earlier scott_k
[06:51] <cub> lxde is good
[06:52] <cub> i did like the win95 gui
[06:52] <cub> i kept it from win95 all the way til 7
[06:52] <cub> decided to stick with the aero theme ... idk why , i guess wanted to try somethign diff...
[06:52] <S4L> hey all, fiddling with mpd, and using Turtle Beach gaming headphones. For some reason, mpd is playing out to the chat channel on the headphones instead of the normal game channel that everything else plays out to (I'm referring to the headphone hardware volume controls). No idea where to start on this one...
[06:52] <Scott_S> Personally, I like stylish menus, but I don't like them if their eyecandy requires a good chunk of CPU cycles.
[06:52] <michael87> I hate to say this but unity is pulling a windows xp on me.  Kde and windows 7 aren't like that. heck mate isn't like that
[06:53] <Scott_S> Anyways, that's #ubuntu-offtopic conversation.
[06:53] <cub> I am using Ubuntu on this desktop because its so outdated... I can't run win7 on here
[06:54] <cub> but linux runs smoothly
[06:54] <almoxarife> yes, please take the windoz lovefest elsewhere, thnks
[06:54] <Scott_S> cub: Try Lubuntu, although you'd have to change to #lubuntu to talk about that one. :P
[06:54] <S4L> easier way to put my problem is that mpd isn't outputting to analog audio jack at all, even my desk speakers don't work
[06:54] <cub> whats that ?
[06:54] <aeon-ltd> cub: same ubuntu core, different UI and default set of apps
[06:54] <michael87> cub, amen to that. But hey windows 8 might probably run on it. Hate to say it but they lightened it up. Just HATE that they got rid of aero glass
[06:55] <cub> i doubt it michael87. the hardware is too old
[06:55] <cub> i had to replace the cpu fan
[06:55] <aeon-ltd> S4L: check in 'alsamixer' incase they are muted
[06:55] <almoxarife> michael87: take the win-chat elswhere
[06:55] <michael87> cub, probably right
[06:55] <michael87> almoxarife, sorry I'll stop that
[06:55] <cub> lets discuss this in ubuntu chat :)
[06:56] <Scott_S> Much better. :) Makes it easier for people helping others to do their stuff.
[06:56] <Scott_S> That way, we're not cluttering the chat with idle conversation.
[06:56] <cub> right
[06:56] <cub> hey scott i have a q
[06:56] <Scott_S> 'Course, what's up/
[06:56] <Scott_S> ? **
[06:56] <S4L> aeon-ltd: magically fixed it by unplugging and replugging the headphone USB... hate it when things work in mysterious ways
[06:57] <cub> is there  a way i can use the gui file manager on gnome to add/delete/change file names/edit files in owner protected folders?
[06:57] <cub> i have had to do all this with the terminal.. and it is kinda inconvenient and tiring
[06:57] <michael87> God I feel like I'm going to hate giving up unity. seriously there is NO way to change the window theme? I think I found something in dconf editor but its a bunch of 0s and 1s
[06:58] <Scott_S> Well, you should be able to open up a rooted file manager.
[06:58] <almoxarife> cub: in same terminal, 'gksu nautilus --no-desktop' super-user file manager
[06:58] <aeon-ltd> cub: if you use sudo to launch nautilus file manager it will give you root rights
[06:58] <cub> hmm okay nautilus
[06:58] <Scott_S> With ^ Those suggestions.
[06:58] <michael87> gtk.settings.color-chooser
[06:58] <cub> what does the --no-desktop thing flag do?
[06:58] <almoxarife> aeon-ltd: dont use sudo with graphics apps, causes issues
[06:59] <Scott_S> Almoxarife, not sure how long the answer to this would be... gksu vs su?
[06:59] <almoxarife> cub: allows nautilus to close when exited
[07:00] <Scott_S> su
[07:00] <almoxarife> Scott_S: i am giving the party line answer, but it makes sense
[07:01] <cub> hmm didnt work  although i know it shoul
[07:01] <Scott_S> Ahhhh. gksudo for graphics, non-gksudo for CLI. I get it now, I have answered my own question.
[07:01] <hangdeadman> Can I do a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 while keeping my current home folder?
[07:02] <cub> it worked without the --no-desktop flag
[07:02] <Scott_S> hangdeadman: You should be able to install without reformatting the partition, which (should) do what you're asking.
[07:02] <TheLordOfTime> hangdeadman, backup your data anyways though
[07:02] <Scott_S> ^
[07:02] <Scott_S> Beat me to it, good sir.
[07:03]  * TheLordOfTime is stealthyninjatimetraveller
[07:03] <cub> okay now i need to kill it from the background
[07:03] <cub> lol
[07:03] <hangdeadman> I have no way to backup my files except on my internal hard drive.
[07:03] <cub> how do u kill something with pid
[07:03] <cub> i forgot the flag
[07:03] <TheLordOfTime> cub: kill -9 [pid] ?
[07:03] <Scott_S> cub: Just bring up the task manager.
[07:04] <cub> ty TheLordOfTime
[07:04] <TheLordOfTime> i don't recommend always killing things though
[07:04] <TheLordOfTime> sometimes it breaks things.
[07:04] <Scott_S> Anyways, off for the night fella's. Happy holidays!
[07:04] <cub> gn scott
[07:06] <hangdeadman> How do I put ubuntu 12.04 on a dvd and make it bootable in gnome shell/
[07:06] <hangdeadman> ?
[07:07] <aeon-ltd> hangdeadman: livecd?
[07:07] <domo> hey my syslog is simply empty
[07:07] <domo> how can I test it/fix it/check why its broken ha
[07:08] <domo> rsyslogd is running and has been restarted
[07:08] <domo> along with the box rebooted
[07:08] <guest-dmFaG6> hello... I changed my /etc/passwd file to reflect a new username & now I can't login to my main account in Ubuntu
[07:10] <dr_willis> hmmm
[07:10] <hangdeadman> aeon-ltd: how do i get livecd?
[07:10] <dr_willis> hangdeadman:  you burn the iso to cd to get a bootable cd
[07:10] <dr_willis> !burn
[07:10] <hangdeadman> dr_willis: thanks
[07:10] <guest-dmFaG6> in fact, my old password does not work at all
[07:11] <Jordan_U> guest-dmFaG6: Did you make a backup of the old /etc/passwd ?
[07:11] <dr_willis> isent there a right click=> burn  menu item
[07:11] <dr_willis> if you right click on an iso
[07:11] <guest-dmFaG6> Jordan_U, no
[07:11] <guest-dmFaG6> the website did not warn me about this event
[07:12] <dr_willis> guest-dmFaG6: so does any account work now?
[07:12] <guest-dmFaG6> guest account seems to work
[07:12] <guest-dmFaG6> :(
[07:13] <Jordan_U> guest-dmFaG6: Whenever modifying an important file you should make a backup of the original first, and also you should be careful what guides you follow. Official documentation is always the first place you should look. Can you pastebin your current /etc/passwd and post a link to the guide you followed?
[07:13] <dr_willis> use a live cd, or the recovery mode, undo the changes perhaps
[07:13] <schemanen> so if you log in as guest and then use sudo and restore the file?
[07:13] <guest-dmFaG6> will recovery mode work?
[07:13] <dr_willis> im not sure you can sudo from the guest account
[07:13] <Jordan_U> schemanen: You can't use sudo from the guest account (setuid protection).
[07:13] <dr_willis> ;)
[07:13] <schemanen> ok :)
[07:13] <guest-dmFaG6> dr_willis, I can't sudo because the old password doesn't work
[07:14] <schemanen> then live CD
[07:14] <dr_willis> guest-dmFaG6: thats why you need live cd or recovery/single user mode
[07:14] <guest-dmFaG6> http://askubuntu.com/questions/205448/change-user-name
[07:14] <guest-dmFaG6> that's the page I referenced
[07:14] <dr_willis> its most likely a typo in the file, or permissions on the file
[07:15] <dr_willis> been easier to just add a new user
[07:15] <guest-dmFaG6> the sudo password is not working
[07:15] <dr_willis> you said no one could login.. so no passwords are working?
[07:15] <tulasi> any help on installing nvidia drivers for lenovo G580
[07:15] <guest-dmFaG6> I can't unlock the second HD either, since it used the other password
[07:15] <guest-dmFaG6> no passwords are working
[07:16] <guest-dmFaG6> in etc/passwd I changed the single instance of the username to the new username
[07:17] <guest-dmFaG6> I changed the instances of the old username to the new username in etc/group
[07:17] <dr_willis> changed how exactly?
[07:18] <penguinman> tulasi: what seems to be the issue?
[07:18] <dr_willis> you wont be  able to make any changes now to it, unless you are on a live cd, or recovery/single user mode
[07:18] <guest-dmFaG6> using sudo gedit & searched for the old username & replaced it with the new username
[07:19] <dr_willis> id also check the owner and permissions on the passwd file
[07:19] <dr_willis> dosent the shadow file also have to be changed?
[07:19] <guest-dmFaG6> the passwd file is root only
[07:19]  * dr_willis rarely messes with those files
[07:20] <guest-dmFaG6> I've had this old username for 4 years & it was time for a change
[07:20] <schemanen> 1
[07:21] <dr_willis> you should have just added a new user. ;)
[07:21] <hangdeadman> How do I figure out wether my laptop has a 32 or 64 bit processor?
[07:21] <dr_willis> whats output of ls -l /etc/passwd  and ls -l /etc/shadow
[07:21] <penguinman> way i've always done it is create a new user then migrate the old home dir over.
[07:21] <dr_willis> hangdeadman:  what cpu does it have?
[07:22] <hangdeadman> 2x Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4300 @ 2.10GHz
[07:22] <dr_willis> hangdeadman:  theres a  string to look for in 'cat /etc/cpuinfo' i recall
[07:22] <dr_willis>   #hardware may be able to tell you also
[07:24] <guest-dmFaG6> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3200 Δεκ  15 09:07 /etc/passwd is the passwd file
[07:24] <guest-dmFaG6> -rw-r----- 1 root shadow 1981 Δεκ  15 09:07 /etc/shadow is the shadow file
[07:25] <Jordan_U> guest-dmFaG6: Did you also modify /etc/shadow?
[07:26] <guest-dmFaG6> Jordan_U, no I didn't... the website didn't mention that file
[07:27] <guest-dmFaG6> it would be courteous to reference that file on that webpage if you get the opportunity
[07:27] <guest-dmFaG6> I figured askubuntu was a pretty good source
[07:27] <Jordan_U> guest-dmFaG6: It depends on who answers. That answer terrible.
[07:28] <dr_willis> its a peer-review sort of site. ;)
[07:28] <guest-dmFaG6> so what do you guys think?
[07:29] <Jordan_U> guest-dmFaG6: Please revert both /etc/passwd and /etc/group (and if you renamed your home directory, change that back as well) and confirm that you can log in again.
[07:29] <dr_willis> live cd,  put the changes back....
[07:29] <guest-dmFaG6> Jordan_U, can I revert via recovery mode?
[07:29] <guest-dmFaG6> I haven't changed anything in days anyway
[07:29] <dr_willis> if you know the console/cli   you could
[07:29] <guest-dmFaG6> which I don't
[07:30] <Jordan_U> guest-dmFaG6: Probably, but it's easier to do from a LiveCD/USB if you have one handy. It especially makes it easier for you to give feedback to us.
[07:30] <guest-dmFaG6> I think I have a live cd... what do I need to do?
[07:31] <guest-dmFaG6> wow, my most recent cd is Ubuntu 10.4
[07:31] <guest-dmFaG6> :(
[07:34] <guest-dmFaG6> I'll brb
[07:38] <gotoguy> any one know where the default path is set in ubuntu?
[07:38] <guest-SrswTg> sorry, needed a new name again
[07:38] <guest-SrswTg> :)
[07:38] <dr_willis> gotoguy:  in several places
[07:38] <bobweaver> $PATH+for what
[07:38] <dr_willis> .profile sets use specific  $Path
[07:38] <gotoguy> I want to a bin dir to my home
[07:39] <dr_willis> grep PATH *
[07:39] <guest-SrswTg> so how do I enter recovery mode?
[07:39] <bobweaver> you mean a bin dir in $HOME look at soures ~/.bashrc
[07:39] <dr_willis> if you make a  bin dir in your home it gets added to your path by default
[07:39] <dr_willis> i keep scripts in my /home/willis/bin dir
[07:40] <DrManhattan> how do I get dpkg to install a program AND it's dependencies?
[07:40] <gotoguy> Okay great thanks I found it now.
[07:40] <dr_willis> DrManhattan:  i use gdebi to do that
[07:40] <dr_willis> i think you have to do it via dpkg in like 2 steps
[07:40] <bobweaver> in other words there isn the .bashrc file that see's things as +x gotgnu  but again not sure what you are doing
[07:40] <gotoguy> I used to using fedora, but for some reason I thought ubuntu was different.
[07:40] <bobweaver> I fail lol
[07:41] <thechameleon> ah hah. at last a channel where few speak
[07:41] <thechameleon> lol
[07:41] <thechameleon> so tired of other channels not talkin and full list. it's just nuts
[07:42] <guest-SrswTg> dr_willis, I have the Ubuntu 10.04 live cd in the drive, though it didn't give any prompts
[07:42] <thechameleon> why do people just sit around and idle in a chat. i cant stand havin an extra tab open for no reason
[07:42] <thechameleon> lol
[07:42] <dr_willis> guest-SrswTg:  mount your broken system, edit the files back
[07:42] <guest-SrswTg> dr_willis, how do I do that?
[07:42] <dr_willis> thechameleon:  i have znc going... i appear to be here all day long. ;)
[07:42] <dr_willis> even if im not
[07:43] <dr_willis> guest-SrswTg: use the file manager.. fine the file on your installed system
[07:43] <thechameleon> any1 in here know why e17 won't save settings? i have the temperature module loaded and gadget next to my clock on the bottom bar but the settings always revert and nothing changes except the temp from celsius to Farenheit and it says 3178F LOL
[07:43] <dr_willis> not the file on the live cd.
[07:44] <guest-SrswTg> I don't have permissions to view the home folder
[07:44] <guest-SrswTg> for instance
[07:44] <thechameleon> what is znc dr_willis
[07:44] <dr_willis> !info znc
[07:44] <guest-SrswTg> the guest account is not listed as a sudo user either
[07:44] <dr_willis> i irc to my pc.. it bounces me to here
[07:44] <dr_willis> guest-SrswTg:  guest? the ubuntu live cd nas a ubuntu user
[07:45] <dr_willis> not a guest user
[07:45] <thechameleon> lol dr_willis  i am still lost for some reason. but that answers my questions of why SO MANY people in irc always are there but not
[07:45] <guest-SrswTg> so I need to restart with the cd in the drive?
[07:45] <guest-SrswTg> revert the files to what they were?
[07:45] <dr_willis> guest-SrswTg:   err.. you boot the live cd yes...
[07:45] <gotoguy> dr_willis:  Thanks for the info! I was thrown off because in Fedora, the path is set in .bash_profile.
[07:45] <guest-SrswTg> ok, thanks... brb
[07:45] <dr_willis> what would just putting it in the cd do..../
[07:46] <dr_willis> gotoguy:  you can set it from different places
[07:46] <gotoguy> yeah okay,
[07:46] <gotoguy> thanks again.
[07:46] <dr_willis> the bin dir in the users home IS added to the default path if it exists  when the user logs in
[07:46] <gotoguy> Cool.
[07:47]  * peterrooney recalls that e17 is beta stage software
[07:48] <thechameleon> any1 in here know why e17 won't save settings? i have the temperature module loaded and gadget next to my clock on the bottom bar but the settings always revert and nothing changes except the temp from celsius to Farenheit and it says 3178F LOL
[07:48] <dr_willis> E## is the constantly in beta windowmanager/desktop
[07:48] <dr_willis> stage
[07:49] <peterrooney> e16 is rock solid, but very very different.
[07:49] <thechameleon> i haven't had this issue before peterrooney just with this new bodhi install. the old one was same exact version no prob for some reason
[07:50] <guest-4EWVmB> dr_willis, the live cd is not booting... I tried twice... I checked the BIOS & the cd drive is primary boot order, though it's not booting & going instead straight to regular login
[07:50] <guest-4EWVmB> is there a button I can push during booting initiation?
[07:50] <thechameleon> not sure guest-4EWVmB has someone suggest f8 or f12
[07:51] <thechameleon> whatever your bios is
[07:51] <guest-4EWVmB> to select the cd
[07:51] <thechameleon> ^yes
[07:51] <thechameleon> thats is it
[07:51] <FloodBot1> thechameleon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:51] <thechameleon> one of those for sure.
[07:51] <guest-4EWVmB> ok, thanks
[07:51] <guest-4EWVmB> thank you thechameleon :)
[07:51] <elfer> peeeee yu
[07:51] <thechameleon> damn i type to fast for the FloodBot1 at only 30 wpm LMAO
[07:51] <thechameleon> yw
[07:54] <thechameleon> well i'm out but if whoever in this room can control the FloodBot1 , IT IS RETARDLY SET for like 20 wpm hahaha
[07:58] <guest-Xn1e0J> dr_willis, I went into recovery mode & found the root console prompt though sudo gedit did not work
[07:58] <guest-Xn1e0J> I also reverted to a previous version of Ubuntu & the password still did not work
[07:58] <guest-Xn1e0J> there was not an option to use the cd
[08:00] <chris__> hey guys
[08:00] <chris__> is there a kubuntu channel?
[08:01] <cirwin> I have ubuntu installed already, can I add disk encryption without reinstalling?
[08:01] <guest-Xn1e0J> from the root console, what is the path to /etc/passwd?
[08:01] <matejv> does anyone know, why sbackup syas that there's no free space left, when backing up over samba. I'm sure that there is enough of it.
[08:01] <gotoguy> chris:  try #kubuntu
[08:02] <neha_>  I can't enable monitor mode on my BCM43XX wifi card
[08:02] <neha_>  I read somewhere that Broadcom does not support monitor mode any workaround?
[08:11] <guest-Cjt5AO> so I'm presuming there's some way to mount my drive from root console in recovery mode, though I'm not certain how
[08:21] <cub> i got a question
[08:22] <cub> whenever i walk away from my comp for 5 mins it automatically makes me type my password again when i return
[08:22] <cub> how do i increase the time
[08:22] <aeon-ltd> you'll have to look into whatever manages the locking feature
[08:22] <aeon-ltd> cub: ^
[08:23] <cub> yeah where would that be obviously
[08:23] <cub> lol\]
[08:24] <aeon-ltd> hell would i know, i don't use ubuntu :)
[08:24] <aeon-ltd> guessing - lightdm?
[08:25] <cub> what do yo use
[08:25] <cub> more like gnome is the issue here
[08:25] <aeon-ltd> arch with dwm
[08:26] <aeon-ltd> cub: http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-disable-ubuntu-11-10-lock-screen-when-screensaver-is-active/
[08:26] <aeon-ltd> bottom screenshot
[08:27] <guest-hhNHP2> someone please help me... I got the cd to boot though it gives an error automatically trying to mount the HD
[08:28] <guest-hhNHP2> I'm not certain how, though it seems like there should be a way to mount my file system from recovery mode root shell
[08:28] <dr_willis> recovery mode would allready have it mounted
[08:29] <dr_willis> since thats what it would be booting from
[08:29] <guest-hhNHP2> in the root shell of recovery mode I do a "dir" & it gives Desktop & GNU Step as options... I can't find /etc
[08:29] <dr_willis> you would make sure / was mounted read/write then fix the file with nano, or vi as root
[08:30] <guest-hhNHP2> just run mount /?
[08:30] <dr_willis>   /etc/ is the full path to the directoery....  /etc/thefilename
[08:30] <dr_willis>    / is allready mounted when you boot..
[08:31] <dr_willis> recovery mode might mount / in read only mode
[08:31] <dBLOOD> Hi people!
[08:33] <dr_willis> hello
[08:33] <aeon-ltd> guten morgen
[08:33] <dBLOOD> anyone knows anything useful about getdeb? like will it work again any time (soon)?
[08:33] <guest-hhNHP2> I'm finding mount -o remount,rw / as an instruction for mounting the drive
[08:34] <guest-hhNHP2> though I think it's weird that /etc is not listed
[08:34] <dr_willis> guest-hhNHP2:  i would think thats more due to your lack of basic command line knowledge
[08:34] <dr_willis> ls -l /etc/
[08:34] <dr_willis> and see whats there
[08:35] <guest-hhNHP2> ok
[08:35] <guest-hhNHP2> I thought dir was a way to get a list of the directories
[08:35] <guest-hhNHP2> I'm from the old Windoze converts class of users
[08:35] <guest-hhNHP2> :)
[08:35] <dr_willis> your thinking dos....
[08:35] <dr_willis> and your dir command showed what was in the CURRENT directory
[08:36] <dr_willis> which was the users home directory ...
[08:36] <jason777> Hi is there any commands to run an /etc/init/blah.conf manually?
[08:37] <guest-hhNHP2> dr_willis, from the root shell in recovery mode, how would I mount the /etc folder?
[08:37] <dr_willis> jason777:  sudo service whatever start
[08:37] <dr_willis> guest-hhNHP2:  you dont..  its allready under /etc/ when / was mounted
[08:37] <jason777> dr_willis, there are some configurations in the conf file that i want to run, it be better running the init conf manually anyways?
[08:38] <guest-hhNHP2> dr_willis, though when I tried to cd etc it did not work
[08:38] <dr_willis> jason777:  ive rarely has to mess with it. that upstart cookbook may be worth a read
[08:38] <dr_willis> guest-hhNHP2:  what was the exact command you used?
[08:38] <guest-hhNHP2> cd etc
[08:39] <dr_willis>  you do realize  /etc/ and  'etc' are totally different meanings?
[08:39] <dr_willis> bash basics...       cd /etc
[08:39] <cirwin> whenever I start ubuntu it spends 60 seconds waiting for network config
[08:39] <cirwin> can I configure it not to?
[08:39] <dr_willis> note the use of the FULL path
[08:39] <guest-hhNHP2> :( I didn't realize that... thanks dr_willis... I'll be back, thanks again
[08:40] <dr_willis> guest-hhNHP2:  it may be worth an hr of your time to reads some bash beginner tutorials
[08:40] <dr_willis> this is rather fundamental stuff
[08:42] <cub> aeon-ltd, ty
[08:48] <bobo37773> Taylor: Hey
[08:50] <chris__> What is the best Musi cProgram on ubuntu?
[08:50] <chris__> Music*
[08:50] <bobo37773> chris__: As in music player?
[08:51] <chris__> yeah
[08:51] <rankenstien> hi
[08:51] <cub> chris__, windows media player
[08:51] <chris__> knighting gale, Amarok?
[08:51] <chris__> clementine?
[08:51] <bobo37773> chris__: Sort of a broad and subjective question. What are you looking for in a music player?
[08:51] <dr_willis> !music
[08:51] <rankenstien> music player?
[08:51] <rankenstien> vlc
[08:51] <dr_willis> !info mocd
[08:52] <chris__> Visually appealing and great functionality
[08:52] <rankenstien> vlc command line
[08:52] <rankenstien> easy to remote control from phone
[08:52] <rankenstien> ssh
[08:52] <bobo37773> chris__: For just music playing my favorite is called "deadbeef". very light and simple
[08:52] <chris__> sweet features like what rankenstien mentioned, i had no idea that was possible
[08:52] <dr_willis> it plays muzak.. what other function do yq need.   ;-)
[08:53] <gabrign> How I can use gufw (firewall) to block conections from a range of ips ?
[08:53] <dr_willis> !info moc
[08:53] <dr_willis> moc rules them all. ;-)
[08:53] <chris__> bobo37773, looking into it
[08:54] <bobo37773> dr_willis: I will have to look into it
[08:54] <chris__> bobo37773, also like podcast features
[08:54] <bobo37773> dr_willis: ncurses fan here
[08:54] <bobo37773> chris__: oh. I'm not sure. The one I recommended plays music and does nothing else
[08:55] <adynura> test
[08:55] <chris__> bobo37773, I see, do you know of any site that categorises ubuntu apps?
[08:55] <bobo37773> chris__: I don't.
[08:56] <chris__> bobo37773, All good, thanks for the help once again!
[08:56] <dr_willis> sooftware center does dint it. or use the search feature
[08:56] <chris__> !cookie bobo37773
[08:56] <bobo37773> chris__: Welcome :)
[08:56] <rankenstien> any prog in particular you look for?
[08:57] <chris__> rankenstien, just want to know what the best is
[08:57] <gabrign> any practice with firewall anyone ?
[08:57] <cub> gabrign,
[08:57] <cub> windows firewalll works wonderfully
[08:57] <Otie> Does anyone know how to install Teamspeak? It's a .run file
[08:58] <jellow> Hello I have a large amount of films stored on an external hard drive , I want to sort them are there any tools that can help me ?
[08:58] <gabrign> cub I don't know that, but the ufw works great
[08:58] <bobo37773> Otie: Is teamspeak not in the repos? Why a .run file? Was there not a .deb for it?
[08:58] <cub> yay!
[08:58] <gabrign> but I don't know of make this in a specific form
[08:58] <bobo37773> gabrign: Not sure about ufw but I know iptables can block an iprange or a port range
[08:59] <Otie> Well, I have no idea what a .deb file is, but I clicked on the big download button on the teamspeak website. :s I just installed ubuntu today (studio edition).
[08:59] <gabrign> bobo37773: thanks , appears be the unique solution. ufw also bloqs a range, but using a ip mask
[08:59] <bobo37773> Otie: Okay let me check for you
[08:59] <gabrign> and the range is much less specific that way
[08:59] <Otie> I'll look it up on the software centre
[08:59] <bobo37773> gabrign: Oh okay. Never used it.
[09:00] <bobo37773> Otie: Yeah is it in there?
[09:00] <Otie> It came up with one but I clicked on it and it's not found
[09:00] <dr_willis> jellow:  depends on the details of your sorting
[09:00] <kel39> random question - xchat, what's the variable for days in time stamp? (Tue/Wed)
[09:00] <Otie> "There isn’t a software package called “teamspeak-client” in your current software sources."
[09:00] <bobo37773> Otie: Hmm. Weird. When is the last time you updated?
[09:01] <dr_willis> !find teamspeak
[09:01] <Otie> I just downloaded ubuntu today. It updated software.
[09:01] <dr_willis> !info teamspeak-client
[09:01] <guest-fyPiXF> sorry you guys... I think I'm nearly done... I just can't seem to find the command for renaming a file
[09:01] <kel39> guest-fyPiXF, mv
[09:01] <bobo37773> guest-fyPiXF: rename is the move command "mv"
[09:01] <kel39> mv filename tothisname
[09:01] <dr_willis> guest-fyPiXF:  'mv foo bar'
[09:02] <guest-fyPiXF> I used nano to revert the /etc/passwd file to the old username & the password works now, though the home directory still has the new username in it
[09:02] <jellow> dr_willis: I want to sort between 720p and regular Xvid  , I can do the rest
[09:02] <guest-fyPiXF> dr_willis & bobo37773, do I have to mkdir the new filename first?
[09:02] <bobo37773> Otie: Okay. Let me look at teamspeak website. Should be a deb file (.deb is a debian install file (ubuntu is based off of debian (apt-get etc..)))
[09:02] <dr_willis> guest-fyPiXF:  mv onedir otherdir
[09:03] <guest-fyPiXF> ok
[09:03] <guest-fyPiXF> thanks you 2
[09:03] <Otie> Okay, thanks.
[09:03] <rankenstien> mkfs
[09:03] <dr_willis> jellow:  may need to do some scripting for that.  im not sure how  you would   tell the differance however. 'file videofile' may give some info on the files
[09:04] <bobo37773> Guest23901: ?? mkdir makes a folder. to just create a file for future reference you can use "touch" command.
[09:04] <Otie> I installed Teamspeak (Windows version) through wine, but my whole computer froze when I saved the settings after changing them, to get my microphone to work. I had to reset my computer.
[09:05] <dr_willis> why isent it mkfolder  ;)
[09:05] <bobo37773> Guest23901: Ooops. That was meant for someone else
[09:05] <bobo37773> dr_willis: good question!
[09:05] <bobo37773> :P
[09:05] <dr_willis> because ms decided 'directory' was too confuseing.....
[09:05] <dr_willis> ;P
[09:05] <bobo37773> hahaha
[09:05] <dr_willis> how to you make an icon of a directory
[09:06] <cub> how do i get my microphone to work
[09:06] <dr_willis> then again.. kids these days dont know what a manilla folder is....
[09:06] <bobo37773> Otie: Don't use wine for a gnu/linux program. Why do you need teamspeak? Anyways let me look
[09:06] <wade> hello
[09:06] <wade> who is online ?
[09:06] <rankenstien> hey got a q
[09:06] <dr_willis> wade:  everyone
[09:07] <Otie> I use teamspeak to talk with my friends/clanmates. I want to be able to talk to them on ubuntu without having to boot back to Windows.
[09:07] <rankenstien> microphone device file?
[09:07] <dr_willis> Otie:  theres teamspeak clients native to linux
[09:07] <rankenstien> anyone know /dev/sound?
[09:07] <dr_willis> !info teamspeak-client
[09:08] <rankenstien> and you can pipe the dev to the speaker dev
[09:08] <wade> hi dr_willis ,
[09:08] <guest-rGZ66m> :( the password is not incorrect, though I can't login to my old user account & don't have an alternative account
[09:08] <bobo37773> Otie: Gotcha. The one in the software center should work though
[09:09] <dr_willis> wade theres no need to dcc chat me...
[09:09] <dr_willis> do you have a support question wade?
[09:09] <guest-rGZ66m> I have somehow effectively disabled my old user account, even though the file changes reflect the username that WAS existent before the attempt to change it
[09:09] <wade> nothing
[09:09] <Otie> When I click on the one in the software centre (More Info), it tells me "Not found".
[09:09] <bobo37773> Otie: Open a terminal and try:    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install teamspeak-client
[09:10] <guest-rGZ66m> dr_willis, is there a way to just add a new user & transfer my files as a sudo user?
[09:10] <Otie> That's working. :D
[09:10] <bobo37773> Otie: Cool :)
[09:11] <dr_willis> guest-rGZ66m:  from recoverymode you can  'sudo adduser billgates'
[09:11] <Otie> Thanks. It's installing now. :)
[09:11] <bobo37773> Welcome
[09:11] <dr_willis> then set them to have sudo rights
[09:11] <guest-rGZ66m> & then login with new username?
[09:11] <guest-rGZ66m> sudo adduser username & then what to give sudo permissions?
[09:12] <dr_willis> no idea. i havent had to do the admin rights from cli in  years
[09:12] <dr_willis> some group command ;)
[09:12] <bobo37773> guest-rGZ66m: Just add your new user to the appropriate group. Probably "wheel" group
[09:12] <guest-rGZ66m> will it ask me for a password for new user?
[09:13] <guest-rGZ66m> ok, brb
[09:13] <dr_willis> it asks several questions
[09:13] <dr_willis> and i think its the admin group
[09:13] <bobo37773> ah admin group
[09:14] <dr_willis> but i forget the exact command
[09:14] <bobo37773> dr_willis: Is Ubunru only distro that calls it admin group?
[09:14] <Flannel> adduser username admin
[09:14] <bobo37773> useradd -G groupname username
[09:14] <dr_willis> Flannel:  i think thats missing an imporntant option/flag
[09:14] <Flannel> bobo37773: No, that's wrong.
[09:14] <Flannel> dr_willis: No, it's right.
[09:14] <dr_willis> there we go. ;)
[09:14] <dr_willis> i thought it had a -a -G
[09:14] <Flannel> bobo37773: That will ruin their permissions, because you forgot -a
[09:15] <dr_willis> ;)
[09:15] <Flannel> dr_willis: No, useradd is the easy one.  useradd username group
[09:15] <bobo37773> Flannel: Ah gotcha
[09:15] <wade> who know voip VAD silence noise ?
[09:15] <dr_willis> i remember  peoplr always do it WRONG.. and lose  the other groups
[09:16] <Flannel> eh, I've turned myself around.
[09:16] <Flannel> useradd is bad, we should forget it exists.  adduser is good.  we should use that.  adduser username group
[09:16] <dr_willis> this is why i said i dont know the command....
[09:17] <bobo37773> hmm I can't even find a "-a" flag in useradd manpage :/
[09:17] <Flannel> dr_willis: I had it right the first time, then it became duck season.
[09:17] <bobo37773> duck!
[09:17] <dr_willis> rabbit season
[09:18] <Flannel> bobo37773: That's because it's usermod.
[09:18] <s3t> hi all
[09:18] <wade> hi s3t
[09:19] <Flannel> bobo37773: Sorry, it's late.  useradd will only create, usermod is the one that will add, but this is moot, because we should use adduser instead, for both.
[09:19] <bobo37773> Flannel: Oh okay. I see it now
[09:19] <meltingwax> i'm setting rules in iptables, and then they do not have an effect. ipstables-save gives me a line "-A TOR -s <IP_ADDRESS>/32 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DROP", but then after that I can still GET the webserver, and it shows up in access.log as coming from <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:19] <bobo37773> Flannel: What makes it really moot is that I don't even think OP is here hahaha :P
[09:20] <wade> hi dr_willis, could you tell me how to check directory size in linux ?
[09:20] <dr_willis> wade:  du -hs      normally
[09:20] <dr_willis> or du
[09:20] <goaw> I think I've figured out why I can't access my old account
[09:20] <goaw> this is previous "guest" user
[09:21] <wade> dr_willis, thanks a lot !
[09:21] <bobo37773> Flannel: Hey so is it admin group or wheel group for sudo in Ubuntu??
[09:21] <Flannel> bobo37773: admin
[09:21] <s3t> а где сервер канала находится?
[09:21] <dr_willis> goaw:  what ubuntu release are you using?
[09:21] <bobo37773> Flannel: Oh okay. Thanks. Good to know
[09:22] <goaw> dr_willis, I've upgraded multiple times... I'm on 12.04 now
[09:22] <bobo37773> meltingwax: Did you restart iptables daemon after saving your new rules?
[09:22] <goaw> dr_willis, thanks for your help btw... I know it can be troublesome when someone is having computer problems & you can't just do something for them
[09:22] <dr_willis> last i looked 'guest' user settings were not saved.. but that may have  been different in earlier releases
[09:23] <s3t> People as the mood?
[09:23] <goaw> dr_willis, you're correct... I tried to save xchat to the Launcher & it wasn't there when I relogged
[09:23] <meltingwax> bobo37773: how would i do that? i thought about it but I didn't see anything in /etc/init.d
[09:23] <dr_willis> nothing is saved.. the step kid learned that the hardway when she lost her book report....
[09:24] <dr_willis> ;)
[09:24] <bobo37773> meltingwax: Strange. Not sure where else it would be
[09:25] <s3t> who is from Russia?
[09:25] <goaw> so I think the problem with logging into the old account is that there's now a folder with attempted-newusername inside the oldusername file & it's locked
[09:25] <meltingwax> bobo37773: according to stackoverflow clone, it's not a service, it's an interface to the kernel, so there isn't something to really restart
[09:25] <bobo37773> meltingwax: Huh. Maybe one of the switches for iptables-restore??
[09:27] <goaw> goaw is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> goaw: then you will need to run:  sudo usermod -a -G sudo username      as a user whom can use sudo, or in root recovery console
[09:27] <meltingwax> bobo37773: iptable -L -v (lists everything, ps aux style), shows it's all there, but for some it doesn't list IPs, it lists things like 'wau.torservers.net' even though it was added as an IP
[09:28] <dr_willis> goaw:  a direcory in the users home wont stop them from loggin to the console. or X  under most cases
[09:28] <dr_willis> goaw:  try the console
[09:28] <s3t> I wish all the world peace! Happy new year!
[09:29] <almoxarife> s3t: merry xmas to you too
[09:29] <bobo37773> dr_willis: Unless they got a super crazy .bashrc or .bash_profile haha
[09:29] <goaw> ActionParsnip, you're suggesting user that command where username is "goaw" for instance?
[09:29] <meltingwax> bobo37773: and the specific IP that I'm getting through tor right now falls under one of those names; it's not listed. It might be a tor trick
[09:30] <goaw> usermod = usermod?
[09:30] <bobo37773> meltingwax: Yeah I am not sure. It may be. Tor has a lot of different nodes and stuff
[09:30] <bobo37773> meltingwax: Maybe you can test on an ip that is simpler
[09:31] <almoxarife> meltingwax: gufw is a gui for iptables, takes alot of the hassle out of it
[09:33] <bobo37773> Okay take care guys. Gotta go now
[09:35] <jellow> dr_willis: I've found a command that sort of works 'avconv -i file' yet I can't seem to use | pipe for use with grep , Have you any ideas ?
[09:39] <goaw> ok cool... so now how do I change permissions of the file in the old user account?
[09:39] <meltingwax> almoxarife: i'm building a cron service that will query the list of tor nodes that can access your IP, and then block them
[09:40] <almoxarife> meltingwax: how would they access your ip in the first place?
[09:41] <meltingwax> almoxarife: because i run an ircd, and have gotten abuse before. this is on a headless VPS, not a desktop
[09:41] <goaw> damnit, it's still saying goaw is not in the sudoers list
[09:41] <almoxarife> meltingwax: tor lists all known exit nodes
[09:43] <goaw> though Goaw is listed as an administrator
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> goaw: if you run:   groups    are you in the sudo group?
[09:46] <goaw> no, I'm in the goaw group :( lol
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> goaw: thats why then, normal users are in a tonne more groups than that dude
[09:47] <goaw> lol no kidding
[09:47] <meltingwax> almoxarife: yup. I'm writing a cron script to maintain a collection of addresses in IPtables to drop. https://github.com/meltingwax/tor-iptables/blob/master/cron-service.sh
[09:47] <goaw> what do I do ActionParsnip? I ran the command you suggested
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> goaw: you will need to su to a user whom can use sudo, or you can reboot and use root recovery console
[09:48] <rankenstien> or connect the drive to a setup machine
[09:48] <goaw> ok, I could su to my old user account maybe
[09:48] <goaw> what do I do?
[09:49] <goaw> yay! I just did su oldusername & I'm in!
[09:49] <goaw> so now what ActionParsnip?
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> goaw: I'd add your new user to the usual groups
[09:49] <rankenstien> anyone know of a key signing party?
[09:50] <rankenstien> or where to find out about them?
[09:50] <goaw> ActionParsnip, you have an example of how to adduser to sudo group?
[09:51] <goaw> I guess, according to my old user, there are quite a few groups I need to add to
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> goaw: sudo usermod -a -G sudo username
[09:52] <goaw> ActionParsnip, can I replace the -G sudo with -G adm for instance?
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> goaw: sure
[09:54] <browndawg> What's the best way to add the precise version of a ppa to my quantal quetzal install?
[09:55] <baumy> I can't get my wifi to work on thinkpad x220t running ubuntu server 12.04
[09:56] <SomeoneWeird> how can I download a package on my system (debian) for another system (ubuntu) that doesn't have internet access?
[09:56] <browndawg> This (https://launchpad.net/~bearoso/+archive/ppa) ppa. There's no quantal version. Is there a way I can get apt-add-repository to do this or do I have to manually edit sources.list?
[09:56] <browndawg> *add-apt-repository
[09:56] <goaw> very cool... so now how do I access this folder which is saying goaw does not have permissions to view?
[09:57] <browndawg> nvm, figured it out.
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> baumy: what wifi chip is it using?
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> browndawg: mixing sources from other releases may cause issues
[09:59] <baumy> ActionParsnip: 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 (rev 35)
[09:59] <browndawg> ActionParsnip: But deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bearoso/ppa/ubuntu quantal main doesn't exist. :)
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> browndawg: you could contact the PPA maintainer to see if they are interested in supporting Quantal
[10:00] <browndawg> ActionParsnip: Sure
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> baumy: if you run:  sudo lshw -C network     what is the driver of the wifi?
[10:02] <baumy> ActionParsnip: I'm not seeing anything labeled "driver"
[10:02] <jellow> I want find to only look at file names what tags do i need ?
[10:03] <jellow> I want find to only look at folder names what tags do i need ?
[10:03] <gabrign> ok, I come back from use iptables
[10:03] <gabrign> and works great, but how make the change permanent ?
[10:04] <chloe_1982> wonder if anyone could help please, my hostname is not set correctly so php is fetching the wrong hostname
[10:04] <gabrign> I already put in in a script file, but requiers root for work, and I wish be in startop
[10:04] <gabrign> startup
[10:04] <goaw> since I'm in the group for the old-username & the sudo group, I should be able to access the folder, right?
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> baumy: read the block at the bottom, you will see:  driver=
[10:07] <goaw> gksudo gedit didn't seem to work in the terminal
[10:07] <baumy> ActionParsnip: ah, missed it. driver=iwlwifi
[10:08] <baumy> ActionParsnip: i think the main problem im having is i have no idea how to manage wireless/wifi from the command line, and i dont have a gui thing to do it since i installed ubuntu server not desktop
[10:08] <baumy> thanks for the help btw
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> baumy: run: echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf > /dev/null
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> baumy: reboot to tesy
[10:08] <baumy> okay
[10:09] <almoxarife> gabrign: if you correctly added a iptable rule it will stay until set thru reboots
[10:09] <Mongolski> hej
[10:10] <gabrign> almoxarife correct, how I can do it permanent? with "iptables-save" is sufficient ?
[10:10] <almoxarife> gabrign: yes
[10:11] <gabrign> i must use some script in startup options for make something like "iptables-restore" or isn't necesary ?
[10:11] <baumy> ActionParsnip: done, not sure how to establish a connection now. my home wifi is wpa
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> baumy: use network manager in the top panel
[10:14] <baumy> ActionParsnip: I started nm-connection-editor, there's nothing listed in the wireless tab
[10:15] <baumy> ActionParsnip: im running ubuntu server + i3wm, dont have the desktop network manager thing
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> baumy: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan    do you see networks?
[10:16] <baumy> ActionParsnip: yes, and the second one is the network i want
[10:18] <goaw> ok, so I have permissions to the files using su oldusername... so how do I simply change the file permissions so that my new user can view the files?
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> baumy: look into iwconfig, if you can, get a wired connection and install wicd. It has a nice ncurses UI you can use on the server
[10:19] <goaw> chmod rw- filename?
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> goaw: you should be able to view the files
[10:19] <baumy> ActionParsnip: i am actually on a wired connection on the laptop right now, i will do that
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> baumy: wicd is awesome
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> baumy: I believe the command is wicd-curses  on the server
[10:21] <rankenstien> can you have 2 wireless cards and make wireless repeater?
[10:22] <baumy> ActionParsnip: appears to be kind of working, sees the card and the networks and everything, having trouble connecting atm but I'll mess with it a bit before asking for help again
[10:23] <gabrign> iptables not keep config using iptables-save
[10:23] <Braden`> Hello
[10:23] <Braden`> I have gcc 4.6 installed, and I installed the gcc-4.7-base package.  How do I access gcc 4.7?  When I type 'gcc' its version 4.6
[10:23] <goaw> :( somehow all my folders got changes to txt files
[10:24] <goaw> I did a chmod 666 filename & the subfiles & folders are txt files :(
[10:25] <goaw> chmod 667 changed them to locked subfolders
[10:26] <gorash> Is there anyone with good understanding of DVD/RW. I have a standalone video recorder (professional) that has spit out a disc that is unreadable and reports empty. It does contain data however, which i need to extract, but i'm stuck. Tried ripping with DD, dares, foremost ect. but nothing works
[10:27] <Braden`> Let me ask a different question then
[10:27] <daniel> Hi every body !
[10:27] <daniel> What's the whaeter at berlin?
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> browndawg: what is the output of:   file `which gcc`
[10:28] <Braden`> Is there a way to use gcc 4.7 on Ubuntu 12.04.1?
[10:28] <baumy> ActionParsnip: connection hangs for a while on "Validating Authentication", then eventually says bad password, but I'm 100% sure I typed the password in right, literally checked it 15 times, and its the password i just set that works for all my other stuff
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> !rootirc > Guest81962
[10:28] <voxadam> Is there a contailer technology that Debian officially supports? LXC, OpenVZ, etc...?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> baumy: not sure then dude, are you fully updated?
[10:29] <Hatori> voxadam, lxc was support by linux by default
[10:29] <baumy> yerp
