[00:26] <Ben64> Bray90820: make it run a script
[00:27] <Bray90820> ben64 can you help me write a script
[00:27] <Bray90820> its ok if you say no
[00:28] <Ben64> Bray90820: start with #!/bin/bash, then the things you want it to do
[00:28] <Bray90820> Ben64 i am a nube when it comes to script writing
[00:28] <dr_willis> !abs
[00:28] <Bray90820> never actually written one
[00:28] <dr_willis> example script.. 2 lines..
[00:29] <dr_willis> #!/bin/bash
[00:29] <dr_willis> ls -al
[00:29] <dr_willis> *done*    ;)
[00:29] <ia9371> hello
[00:30] <ia9371> i was installing iubuntu server and i forgot to check all the optional apps like SQL server Apache etc
[00:30] <Bray90820> well what i want to do is i want to enable the onscreen keyboard and change a setting in firefox
[00:31] <dr_willis> keyroard most likely would be a gconf or dconf settine - altered by  i think dconf-editor or gconf editor. (i never do stuff that way)
[00:31] <dr_willis> firefox. no idea on that one
[00:32] <bastidrazor> iarp: 'sudo tasksel' will help you
[00:32] <ia9371> hello
[00:32] <bastidrazor> ia9371:  'sudo tasksel' will help you
[00:32] <Inky2000> is there a possibility of changing the repetition rate of one specific key on the keyboard?
[00:33] <Bray90820> what would actually be perfect
[00:33] <dr_willis> never sdeen that done Bray90820   check as askubuntu.com perhaps
[00:33] <dr_willis> bbl.
[00:33] <Bray90820> what would actually be perfect is if i could have the script run when i rotated the screen
[00:34] <Bray90820> into tablet mode
[00:35] <eagle747> any tips on port forwarding, i have done all the moden settings, but port is still closed?
[00:37] <Morgawr`urd> hello guys... I have a question. I have developed my own program and upon installing it on Ubuntu (using gnome 3 but users reported the same happens with unity) my program doesn't show up in the list of programs until I refresh the gnome 3 interface or restart the computer
[00:38] <Morgawr`urd> I know on other desktop environments like LXDE or XFCE the program appears immediately
[00:38] <Morgawr`urd> what command do I have to run or what do I have to do to have it show up properly?
[00:38] <Inky2000> Bray90820 on my x220t there is a hotkey that can be used to toggle a script with acpid. So my tablet runs a script whenever i turn the screen.
[00:38] <Morgawr`urd> the program installs in /usr/share/apps or something like that (following the DE standards)
[00:41] <fully_human> In Firefox does anyone get a bug where popup menus (like the "bookmark" widget) don't appear if you navigate to a certain site?
[00:41] <wolfgang42> I just ran apt-get remove and accidentally took out my currently running kernel. Can someone look at the output ( http://pastebin.com/pfcErRP9 ) and give me a pointer on how to fix it if needed?
[00:42] <Bray90820> Inky2000 can you explain more about that
[00:42] <jrib> wolfgang42: just install it again?
[00:43] <SonikkuAmerica> wolfgang42: [ sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-37-generic ]
[00:43] <wolfgang42> jrib: That's what I thought, but I upgraded the kernel and haven't rebooted yet, so I'm not sure which one to install.
[00:43] <SonikkuAmerica> Although why are people still on Linux 3.2?
[00:43] <nearst> im still at 3.2
[00:44] <puznel> wolfgang42: apt-get install linux-image-`uname -r`
[00:45] <son_> anybody here know how to configure mail server behid router?
[00:45] <son_> dsl modem > router > server?
[00:47] <TheLordOfTime> son_:  other than not configuring one?
[00:47] <TheLordOfTime> son_:  most residential ISPs will block all mailservers
[00:47] <TheLordOfTime> son_: and most residential ISP-origin mail servers will get blacklisted
[00:47] <son_> yeah my ISP block port 25
[00:47] <son_> i can send mails outside but cannot receive them
[00:47] <TheLordOfTime> then you can't do anything about it.
[00:50] <MoPac> So, I'm confused about Zeigeist-FTS.  It's installed, and the daemon is running, but the dash search does not seem to be looking into any index of file content
[00:50] <MoPac> What do I need to do?
[00:52] <Inky2000> Bray90820 If i rotate my screen into tablet mode, my tablet "presses" a hotkey. First i had to figure out which key gets pressed. I don't remember which programm i used for that. But i think it was some evdev thing. After figuring out which key was pressed, i createt a event in /etc/acpi/events/thinkpad-rotate with following content:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/5572219/   Therefore the script in /etc/acpi/thinkpad-rotate.
[00:52] <Inky2000> sh gets executed whenever i rotate my screen to tablet mode.
[00:53] <Inky2000> the event is actually a file
[00:56] <KI4RO> Using 12.10.  I recently received a Linux update.  What if something goes wrong with it on my system and I want to go back to the previous image, how do I do that since it no longer seems to be an option in GRUB?
[00:57] <unheeding> KI4RO: hold down shift while booting
[00:57] <unheeding> select advanced options for ubuntu
[00:57] <unheeding> you'll be presented with a list of all available kernels
[00:57] <KI4RO> unheeding, Okay, I'll try it and be back
[00:57] <unheeding> i had to do this today :)
[00:57] <spdupee> Iwant to try 13.4 what is the easiest way to upgrade
[00:58] <Inky2000> Bray90820 That's the way i am doing this at the moment. Before I got that working i was using a script that contains an infinite loop an checks the state of tablet mode. That worked for me too, since there is a way to check  the tablet mode. If I was in tablet mode  "/sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/hotkey_tablet_mode" returned 1. So I executed this script at startup: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5572225/
[00:58] <unheeding> spdupee: edit your apt-sources.list to point to raring instead of quantal
[00:58] <unheeding> spdupee: it's a lot of stuff to download and not exactly stable
[00:59] <unheeding> see this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2082861
[00:59] <wolfgang42> OK, well, I reinstalled the currently running kernel. We'll see what happens next time I restart...
[01:03] <Inky2000> Bray90820 the xrotate command in the second script is the xrotate.py of magick-rotation  https://launchpad.net/magick-rotation
[01:03] <KI4RO> unheeding, That worked...thank you...now if I can just get it to restart I'll be good LOL
[01:03] <unheeding> lol restarting is usually the easy part
[01:03] <unheeding> just remember to update-grub if you're removing kernels etc
[01:04] <KI4RO> unheeding, Not on this machine.  sudo update-grub?
[01:04] <unheeding> yup
[01:05] <KI4RO> unheeding, Well I'll give it a go...I'll be back...hopefully! LOL
[01:05] <unheeding> if you're not back in ten minutes we'll send out a search party
[01:05]  * unheeding sometimes misses people leaving and coming back with join/parts hidden
[01:06] <dr_willis> i like weechats smart  filtering of parts/joins for just that reason
[01:06] <unheeding> dr_willis: i'm intrigued.  tell me more about x
[01:07] <dr_willis> if person joins.. never talks or dosent  talk for like 10 min. it auto hides them parting
[01:07] <unheeding> does it do the same thing for joins?
[01:08] <dr_willis> so id see you part.. but not people poping in..
[01:08] <dr_willis> cant say ive noticed it for joins.. or how it would work for joins..
[01:09] <dr_willis> alt-=   is the weechat hotkey to toggle/show all the filtered part/join messages also
[01:09] <dr_willis> so weechat is handy in huge channels
[01:09] <KI4RO> unheeding, Still won't restart/reboot.  I've used boot-repair and sent them my results and all but still waiting to hear back....think they want $$$ to talk to me LOL
[01:10] <dr_willis> KI4RO:  i think they just monitor what errors people have so they can make a better tool
[01:10] <MoPac> Does anyone here use zeitgeist for full-text search instead of an alternate application/lens?
[01:11] <KI4RO> dr_willis, I C...maybe that's why I don't get any help back LOL
[01:11] <dr_willis> KI4RO:  if they offer a service.. id never harrd of it befor
[01:12] <dr_willis> bbl. got a job to do.. ;(
[01:12] <KI4RO> dr_willis, Hate that for you
[01:15] <Inky2000> is there any way to change auto repetition mode of one specific key?
[01:16] <atuo> I just performed a fresh install using the alternate amd64 install .iso that is slightly over 700mb. When installing, I thought I selected desktop, but I didn't, and only installed the base system. Currently I have installed xinit and xorg-server, and am now downloading and instlaling the 'unity,' package. What is the name of a unity desktop session - as in, do I add 'exec unity,' to ~/.xinitrc to make startx launch Unity?  I am installing this system for someone who is quite old, and they actually prefer Ubuntu to Windows. I am upgrading from 11.04 to 12.04. I personally run Gentoo and know my way around GNU/Linux, but the person I am doing this install for -doesn't-, so it's imperative that this is as user-friendly and idiotproof
[01:20] <atuo> make that 12.04.2*
[01:21] <bryguy_> update today broke my nvidia drivers, I still have the module loaded but I'm only getting 68fps on glxgears
[01:22] <bryguy_> anyone else have this issue?
[01:22] <Inky2000> so you installed 12.04 and update to 12.04.2?
[01:23] <bryguy_> sorry I'm using 12.10 (I think? new to ubuntu, not sure how to check release), installed software updates- kernel and mesa
[01:24] <atuo> Inky2000: No. I wiped the drive, inserted a usb with the 12.04.2 .iso burnt to it (using dd), ran through the text installer, and rebooted. Only command I have ran soforth is 'apt-get update && apt-get install xinit xorg-server zsh zsh-doc vim vim-doc lm-sensors irssi lynx htop,'
[01:24] <Inky2000> during installation of ubuntu-desktop it aks for your prefered login manager and should set up the environment to start this dm
[01:24] <Inky2000> *display manager
[01:24] <atuo> thanks Inky2000 ! I'll let you know if I run into further problems
[01:26]  * Jeruvy daydreams

[01:47] <bravis> Nodda
[01:48] <bravis> well seeing what cool things i can do with ubuntu
[01:51] <NorCalDan> Just finished installing Raring 13.04 on a MBP, flawless.  No more vm's for me, time to move in fulltim
[01:53] <uw> anybody else have a strong desire to smash their speakers when booting ubuntu because of the GOD AWFUL startup song
[01:53] <uw> it's been going on for years now
[01:53] <uw> actually as long as i can remember using ubuntu
[01:53] <uw> always had that same terrible song
[01:53] <escott> uw, its also way too loud
[01:54] <escott> uw, but if you go into gnome-session-properties you can toggle the startup sound off
[01:54] <uw> escott, yes i agree!  bad song and blairing loud for some reason
[01:54] <escott> uw, although you have to make it visible first by digging into gconf
[01:54] <NorCalDan> ended up turning it off (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1320500)
[01:54] <escott> uw, http://maketecheasier.com/disable-login-sound-in-ubuntu-oneiric-quick-tips/2011/09/15
[01:54]  * uw slaps forehead
[01:55] <uw> i thought they were going away from gconf?
[01:55] <uw> phasing it out?
[01:55] <escott> uw, gconf/dconf its all the same
[01:55] <uw> i guess you still need it for this?
[01:55] <escott> just a different backend
[01:56] <cnblue> Hi, ibus can't switch to any IME  in WINE apps , anyone know a fix to that ?
[01:56] <uw> oh i see
[01:57] <nearst> hello mate :)
[01:57] <escott> uw, in any case the transition is still going on so you have to check both or something
[02:00] <kal-lel> Hello... Greetings folks!
[02:00] <NorCalDan> Greetings
[02:01] <kal-lel> Maybe Preload doesn't work to turn my O.S. faster....
[02:10] <escott> kal-lel, was there a question there
[02:10] <tripelb> !gnome2 | tripelb
[02:11] <bigbadben> Hey I am back, what exactly is Xorg?
[02:12] <escott> bigbadben, it is the X server. it is a key part of the graphical interface
[02:13] <kal-lel> escott: ??
[02:13] <tripelb> i have 12.04 and u want to use gnome2. How can I do that?
[02:13] <bigbadben> What does it mean when it crashes
[02:13] <tdrusk> I accidentally my ubuntu. I planned on dual booting opensuse 12.3. I resized the Ubuntu partition, which looked like it succeeded. After installing Opensuse I booted into Ubuntu and I got a "the system is running in low graphics mode error" crap. I am working on fixing it, but I would like to know what would cause this issue. Most likely corruption from the resize correct?
[02:13] <Ben64> !nounity | tripelb
[02:13] <escott> bigbadben, if X crashes you will be logged out of the graphical interface and all your applications will crash
[02:13] <escott> kal-lel, did you have a question or were you just commenting?
[02:14] <apwbdjp> tdrusk: I'd say maybe your grub conf file didn't get the arguments right, from the Opensuse install
[02:14] <kal-lel> escott: Was a question, a comment... No one answer... No one care... You care.. Thank you...
[02:15] <escott> kal-lel, no one will respond unless there is an actual question to respond to
[02:15] <apwbdjp> tdrusk, I think running "sudo update-grub2" in a terminal, from your ubuntu install, and rebooting, should fix it
[02:15] <tdrusk> apwbdjp: Will that break my opensuse grub or just replace it with the Ubuntu one?
[02:15] <tdrusk> apwbdjp: great idea btw
[02:15] <escott> kal-lel, its the difference between saying "i think this dress makes me look fat" and "does this dress make me look fat"
[02:16] <apwbdjp> tdrusk, neither, that will just re-detect all installed OSes on the machine, and make the right grub.conf file for that
[02:16] <tdrusk> apwbdjp: sick. I will try that. Thanks :)
[02:16] <kal-lel> escott: preload works only to low ram... I got enough, I do not have too use it.. So, was a comment. Nice exemple.. look fat... Thank you escott.
[02:17] <kal-lel> **to
[02:17] <escott> kal-lel, you seem to misunderstand the purpose of RAM
[02:17] <escott> !atemyram | kal-lel
[02:18] <apwbdjp> kal-lel, prelaod works well for slow disks, not for low ram
[02:18] <apwbdjp> kal-lel, you need plenty of ram to load things before even using them
[02:18] <kal-lel> I really misunderstanded so.. Ok..
[02:19] <kal-lel> Thank you all...
[02:20] <kal-lel> good night folks.. I am outing!
[02:21] <tripelb> I give up. i want a ainple desktop of gnome2. i guess i want http://www.fuduntu.org/
[02:22] <Ben64> tripelb: gnome 2 is dead
[02:22] <tripelb> i.had to.come.back to say this in case of feedback
[02:23] <kk0710> Hey guys, I am in need of help.  I have never had a problem like this.  I just did a clean install of ubuntu 12.04 on a friends laptop but ubuntu won't boot.  It just goes to h is laptops boot options which offer ubuntu and the harddrive but when I choose one of them it just goes back to the menu
[02:24] <Ben64> tripelb: dunno what that means, but ok
[02:24] <Ben64> keep in mind that you can't get support here for fuduntu
[02:24] <b0ot> can someone help me get scp between two machines working without passwords
[02:24] <b0ot> I need to be able to upload pictures from one /var/www/.../foo to the remotes /var/www/.../foo
[02:25] <apwbdjp> kk0710, Do you mind rephrasing that last line?
[02:25] <Ben64> b0ot: look into key based authentication
[02:25] <b0ot> Ben64, I have followed multiple guides with no luck
[02:25] <Guest8857> I need a wifi hack
[02:25] <b0ot> I create my rsa key
[02:25] <b0ot> copy over the public
[02:25] <kk0710> apwbdjp: sorry, when I boot the laptop it goes to the boot menu.  For some reason there is a choice for the harddrive AND ubuntu but neither one of them work
[02:25] <b0ot> then cat /key.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[02:26] <b0ot> with no luck
[02:26] <tdrusk> apwbdjp: update grub did not work. any other ideas?
[02:26] <Ben64> b0ot: you might need to restart ssh and/or the computers for it to take effect
[02:26] <franl> b0ot, you need to have perms on your .ssh directory set to 700 and the files set to 600.
[02:26] <amicrawler2012> hey guys how do i make new source list for this distro  it is giving me a 404  error  even in the old  releases  am i doing something  wrong
[02:26] <kk0710> apwbdjp: I have tried installing several times as a dual boot but had nothing but problems so I cleaned the hard drive and did a clean install
[02:27] <b0ot> how do I restart ssh
[02:27] <vincentS> b0ot, sudo service sshd restart
[02:27] <escott> b0ot, sudo service ssh restart
[02:28] <apwbdjp> kk0710, Choice for the hard drive? You mean there's some menu other than grub that asks you on which device you want to boot?
[02:29] <vincentS> thanks for correcting me ;)
[02:29] <kk0710> its the boot menu, bios boot menu it is not grub.
[02:29] <apwbdjp> tdrusk, Sorry I'm running dry, here..
[02:29] <tdrusk> apwbdjp: okay. thanks anyway :)
[02:29] <kk0710> apwbdjp: like for some reaosn the bios now has an ubuntu option for boot order but whether I pick that OR the harddrive it does not boot

[02:33] <Kr3m> i have a qucik question.  if i'm putting ubuntu onto an older machine, should i use 12.04 so i can use Unity 2d or should i just consider using KDE or Gnome and leave 12.10 on it?

[02:34] <kk0710> vincentS: I just installed from liveusb.  I installed before as a du al boot but it refused to work, so I deleted al partitions rebooted and installed clean.

[02:35] <vincentS> kk0710, i would boot into live again and confirm that u have a bootable patition
[02:35] <apwbdjp> amicrawler2012, then I'd advise Lubuntu or your own install with LXDE
[02:36] <kk0710> vincentS: Already did it.  It clreates 3 parititions, a fat32 partition that is about 99 megs that is bootable.  then the ext4 and then the swap
[02:36] <amicrawler2012> can i install  12.10  with a AMD xp3200 with 512 ram
[02:36] <apwbdjp> A linux install created a fat32 partition?
[02:37] <apwbdjp> amicrawler2012, I just said, go for Lubuntu, with those specs, man.
[02:37] <escott> apwbdjp, for UEFI that would be needed
[02:37] <b0ot> What do I need to do to be able to scp from /var/www to remote /var/www without needing sudo?
[02:37] <amicrawler2012> i see
[02:37] <escott> kk0710, what method are you booting? bios or efi?
[02:37] <apwbdjp> escott, oh.. explains why it's tricky in this case. Thanks!
[02:37] <amicrawler2012> so it is a sol
[02:37] <Ben64> not sure if that cpu supports PAE
[02:37] <Ben64> so if 12.10 doesn't work, thats why
[02:37] <amicrawler2012> sad out of luck
[02:38] <kk0710> escott: I dont know what efi is
[02:38] <Ben64> b0ot: i've already told you
[02:38] <escott> kk0710, well boot the livecd and look at what directories are in /sys/firmware
[02:38] <apwbdjp> amicrawler2012, dude just upgrade to 12.10 and install lxde if it's too slow for you. This shouldn't take more than an hour
[02:38] <alt0> I installed Ubuntu base system from the alternate-amd64-12.04.2 .iso and after installing xorg-server, xinit, unity, and ubuntu-desktop packages/metapackages, now trying to install any package with aptitude returns the following error: sudo aa-complain cupsd ; sudo mkdir /usr/share/cups/model ; export PRINTS=cupswrapperMFC3240C-1.0.2-3.i386.deb;  sudo apt-get install tcsh ; dpkg  -i  --force-all $PRINTS     What can I do to remedy this? Ti
[02:39] <kk0710> escott: acpi efi memap
[02:39] <darkhelmet46> hey all
[02:39] <escott> kk0710, ok so it is booting efi
[02:39] <escott> kk0710, does it have windows 8
[02:39] <darkhelmet46> anyone know if Ubuntu One has unlimited peer-to-peer sync?
[02:39] <amicrawler2012> is xp3200 a x64 ir i386 cpu
[02:39] <kk0710> escott: no
[02:39] <escott> kk0710, is it a dual boot at all?
[02:39] <b0ot> Ben64, I'm able to transfer normal files without a password but when I try to transfer from /var/www/... to remote /var/www... it doesn't work
[02:40] <Ben64> b0ot: then check permissions on the remote /var/www
[02:40] <alt0> ahh, my error pasted wrong. THe error I am having is "errors were encountered while processing: initramfs-tools" This happens anytime I use apt. It says --configure is failing.
[02:40] <Ben64> amicrawler2012: depends if it has "64" in the name
[02:40] <kk0710> escott: no I tried to make it du al boot but it wouldn't work so I deleted the harddrive
[02:40] <kk0710> partition*
[02:40] <escott> b0ot, the permissions would be no different than if you were trying to cp to /var/www on the remote machine from that login account
[02:41] <escott> kk0710, what tool did you use to delete the partition?
[02:41] <ClientAlive> has anyone here had an experience upgrading from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10? Does stuff break?
[02:41] <kk0710> escott: gpart
[02:41] <kk0710> escott: gparted
[02:42] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, I did. Went fine.
[02:42] <escott> kk0710, well if you arent dual booting windows you dont have to boot efi. so it may be easiest to switch to bios boot. if you do so you will have to make sure that the usb stick also does a bios boot
[02:42] <vincentS> kk0710, did u say the fat32 was bootable
[02:42] <ClientAlive> apwbdjp: and you did so using apt-get? <- is that even possible? Does it take a long time?
[02:42] <alt0> Does anyone know how to solve the problem I am facing with initramfs-tools not working anytime I use aptitude?
[02:42] <escott> kk0710, some of these firmwares try to be smart and boot with efi where possible so even though the disks are set to bios they may boot a livecd in efi mode which confuses the installer
[02:42] <kk0710> escott: how do I switch it though?  I didn't tell it to do it it just did it on its own?
[02:43] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, I did that the usual way: sudo do-release-upgrade
[02:43] <vincentS> kk0710, cause i think /boot is on ur ext4 partition shouldn't that be bootable then since fat32 is still empty
[02:43] <escott> kk0710, its in the firmware. can't tell you what those options will look like
[02:43] <kk0710> escott: are you saying its in the bios?
[02:43] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, most of it is downloads, so if you got a decent connexion it's fine
[02:43] <escott> kk0710, what you are calling bios yes, but its not bios. it is efi
[02:43] <ClientAlive> apwbdjp: right on. Suppose I'll give it a try.
[02:43] <kk0710> escott: I dont udnerstand, WHERE do I go to change the option?
[02:44] <kk0710> escott: I m not familiar with EFI
[02:44] <escott> kk0710, i can't tell you. it is in your efi setup which varies by manufacturer
[02:44] <vincentS> kk0710, u have some sort of recovery option in ur bios where it restores to factory default
[02:44] <ffffuuuumnnbnb> lkjsfd\
[02:44] <alt0> worst support channel ever
[02:44] <alt0> Gentoo is easier than Ubuntu
[02:44] <ffffuuuumnnbnb> u mad bro
[02:44] <alt0> shit distro
[02:44] <Ben64> alt0: feel free to leave
[02:46] <apwbdjp> They actually believe we get paid for this?
[02:46] <bravis> lol like its all about easy...
[02:46] <kk0710> I have no idea how to find the settings for this efi, I have a fujitsu laptop
[02:46] <deadly> hey, is anyone able to help setup ftp on ubuntu? please
[02:47] <anonymousjude> hey all whats up
[02:47] <apwbdjp> kk0710, When you boot up your machine, you should read somewhere on a corner "Press ??? to access Setup" or something like that?
[02:47] <deadly> anyone help setup server? please.
[02:47] <bravis> better stay away from arch you will have an aneurysm..
[02:47] <anonymousjude> was wondering if anyone knows how to get beats subwoofer on HP laptop to work through Ubuntu?
[02:48] <apwbdjp> !ftp
[02:48] <dr_willis> install a ftp server.. configure it deadly ....
[02:48] <dr_willis> better to use ssh/scp
[02:48] <kk0710> intel Management Engine BIOS extension?
[02:48] <deadly> i need help configuring a jail user
[02:48] <ClientAlive> apwbdjp: err... when I just did sudo do-release-upgrade I got "Checking for an Ubuntu release\nNo new release found"
[02:48] <apwbdjp> !FTPd | deadly
[02:48] <deadly> vsftpd
[02:48] <ClientAlive> guess the \n doesn't work that way in irc... woopsie  :p
[02:49] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, then you should check our version, maybe you got 12.10
[02:49] <Kr3m> !updateca kr3m
[02:49] <ClientAlive> I'll double check
[02:49] <Kr3m> oops
[02:49] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, lsb-release -a
[02:50] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, lsb_release -a
[02:50] <apwbdjp> sorry
[02:50] <ClientAlive> cool

[02:50] <eduardo> Someone know of a English course online?
[02:50] <eduardo> I'm from Brazil and not speak English!
[02:50] <ahoneybun> When I upgrade the linux kernel to 3.5.0-25 my wireless stops working
[02:50] <eduardo> kkk
[02:50] <cihhan> Can I change the number of the lines of the top output? Any info about it? For example I can change the column size using "COLUMN=512 top" command, but what about line size?
[02:51] <apwbdjp> deadly, https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html
[02:51] <ClientAlive> apwbdjp: "Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS"
[02:51] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, well you downloaded the LTS version (Long Term Support), when you did the install
[02:51] <deadly> i was having a look at that one last night, my problem occurs when i join my guest account 'ftpguest' he is able to see outside of the set home directory
[02:52] <deadly> ive set the guest home directory to /home/FTPAccess
[02:52] <kk0710> apwbdjp: I found an intel manage engine bios extension but still cannot find anything for EFI
[02:52] <vincentS> cihhan, you can go pg/up pg/dn in top
[02:52] <deadly> however he can go out back into root folder
[02:52] <Ben64> ClientAlive: by default LTS versions only upgrade to other LTS versions
[02:52] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, this version will only upgrade to the next LTS version (It's been made for big companies who don't wanna upgrade too often)
[02:52] <ClientAlive> I see. Is there a way to upgrade then?
[02:52] <ahoneybun> kk0710, that tricky beast
[02:52] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, if you REALLY wanna move to 12.10, I think I found a quick workaround, I'll google that for you
[02:52] <cihhan> vincentS: im using a script to read some values but i want to do it for only a couple of lines
[02:53] <Ben64> there is, but you could just wait for 14.04 and upgrade directly to that
[02:53] <ClientAlive> I thought Ubuntu is doing away with LTS anyway
[02:53] <Ben64> instead of doing 12.04 -> 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04
[02:53] <ahoneybun> ClientAlive, just talks nothing big yet or set in stone
[02:53] <kk0710> meaning what?  Can I not fix this to boot ubuntu, if that is the case I would like to know so I can stop trying
[02:53] <ClientAlive> I see
[02:53] <ClientAlive> thans fellas (ladies/ genlemen)  :)
[02:53] <vincentS> cihhan, use grep with awk
[02:54] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-12.04-lts-precise-pangolin-to-12.10-quantal-quetzal-desktop-and-server There you go my man
[02:54] <ahoneybun> ClientAlive, you can set that up in Software Sources and switch from LTS releases to normal releases
[02:54] <cihhan> vincentS: grep/head is not useful since im using -n 2
[02:54] <ahoneybun> kk0710, EFI is tricky
[02:54] <george_> hello
[02:54] <cihhan> to print twice
[02:55] <ahoneybun> hello george_
[02:55] <george_> are there chinese?
[02:55] <george_> who is chinese
[02:55] <george_> ?
[02:55] <ahoneybun> george_, american sir
[02:55] <escott> !cn
[02:55] <kk0710> Ill take that as a no and just give up on ubuntu for this machine
[02:55] <kk0710> thanks
[02:55] <ahoneybun> kk0710, well my Mac is efi and I installed ubuntu
[02:55] <ahoneybun> it has the efi bios
[02:56] <ahoneybun> just not enabled
[02:56] <kk0710> well it wont work for me no matter what I do so far
 american ?
[02:56] <kk0710> ahoneybun: thats why it boots because its disabled, I am trying to find out HOW to disable it and see NO options
[02:57] <ahoneybun> george_, as in I am not Chinese and do not speak it
[02:57] <ahoneybun> kk0710, well when you boot a live cd/usb does it say "secure boot is disabled"?
[02:57] <george_> oh
[02:58] <ahoneybun> !cn
[02:58] <darkhelmet46> anyone know if Ubuntu One has unlimited peer-to-peer sync?
[02:58] <apwbdjp> !cn | george_
[02:58] <kk0710> ahoneybun: where would it even say that?
[02:58] <george_> i see
[02:58] <deadly> quick question for someone, when it says comment, do i put a # infront of the line or take it away?
[02:58] <ahoneybun> kk0710, on the screen when it boots from the cd/usb for me on my MacBook
[02:58] <george_> but i just want to make friends with you ~~~~~
[02:58] <kk0710> I dont think its the same for me so not sure you can help
[02:59] <ahoneybun> george_, thats not a problem just want help you the best we can
[02:59] <apwbdjp> deadly, well both work, # in the beggining of the line gives you the option of bringing it back
[02:59] <george_> i konw
[02:59] <vincentS> deadly, starting with a # is a comment  line
[02:59] <george_> i know
[02:59] <ahoneybun> kk0710, my desktop did the same as it has EFI just it was hard to dual boot
[02:59] <deadly> ok, im just reinstalling my vps now, and ill go from there
[03:00] <kk0710> ahoneybun: im no longer trying to dual boot this is a clean install of ubuntu
[03:00] <apwbdjp> kk0710, I met a bios like that, that doesn't allow you disable any of the features
[03:01] <ahoneybun> kk0710, oh well I just install the boot loader on the main harddrive like sda and it worked
[03:01] <kk0710> apwbdjp: yah I just looked again I see no options relating to EFI, or any keywords I dont recognize.
[03:01] <kk0710> apwbdjp: im assuming ubuntu TRIED to do work with EFI because it did install a 3rd partition that I am unfamiliar with and it is bootable
[03:02] <george_> is there anybody want to make friends with me ?
[03:02] <escott> kk0710, it *IS* efi. its not going to have options that say anything about efi
[03:02] <kk0710> escott: well I dont knwo how to access efi!!!
[03:02] <kk0710> ive tried all options available to me
[03:02] <ahoneybun> george_, what's up!
[03:02] <escott> kk0710, if it says BIOS or LEGACY that would switch the mode to BIOS from EFI
[03:02] <Ben64> george_: this channel is for ubuntu support only
[03:02] <kk0710> theres no options like that
[03:02] <apwbdjp> escott, what should that option look like anyway? Something like "Enable Legacy BIOS"?
[03:03] <ahoneybun> escott, now I learned something
[03:03] <deadly> so ive just installed vsftpd and made sure both local_enable=YES write_enable=YES are configured, then just restarted...
[03:03] <escott> kk0710, your firmware is EFI. i dont care if you call it BIOS. it *IS* EFI
[03:03] <apwbdjp> Just curios, in case you've met it
[03:03] <deadly> now i need to add a user
[03:03] <deadly> ?
[03:03] <kk0710> ok I just want to boot ubuntu, how do I do that
[03:03] <escott> kk0710, so once you get into your firmware setup you are in the EFI setup
[03:04] <george_> who can give me your google talk ID ?
[03:04] <kk0710> ok so once again how do I boot ubuntu
[03:04] <Ben64> george_: not here
[03:04] <george_> ok
[03:04] <george_> just give me
[03:05] <deadly> @apwbdjp groupadd ftp-users chown root:ftp-users /home/ useradd -g ftp-users -d /home/ spy passwd spy
[03:05] <george_> ^_^
[03:05] <deadly> my next thing to do?
[03:05] <escott> kk0710, thats not easily answered. EFI is new and crappy. thats why i am suggesting you try to boot in BIOS emulation mode
[03:05] <george_> i have some problems
[03:05] <kk0710> escott: that brings me back to what I was trying to say earlier, I see no way to do that
[03:05] <escott> kk0710, also the FAT partition should not be "bootable" i dont believe such a flag exists in GPT/EFI
[03:05] <george_> how xfce open 3D ?
[03:06] <kk0710> escott: well it was, I etried turning it off and turning boot on for ext4 part but that didnt work either
[03:06] <ahoneybun> escott, there is a option in the windows 7 DVD I believe
[03:06] <kk0710> everythign in the bios says bios nothing about efi
[03:06] <escott> kk0710, you can paste the output of "sudo parted -l" although i doubt it will tell us anything we don't already know
[03:07] <escott> kk0710, did you read my previous?
[03:07] <kk0710> which previous exactly?
[03:07] <BoBo_> I have a vps that i only have ssh access to. It is currently running debian but i want to install the latest version of ubuntu. is that possible to do from a linux command prompt?
[03:07] <escott> kk0710, it *IS* efi. its not going to have options that say anything about efi
[03:07] <Ben64> BoBo_: no
[03:07] <kk0710> excott
[03:07] <kk0710> I feel like we are not communcating well here
[03:08] <kk0710> I know you said that then you said usb legacy mode and I was telling you there is no option for that
[03:08] <apwbdjp> BoBo_, a proper OS install requires a couple of reboots, so no
[03:08] <escott> kk0710, if an option says anything about BIOS it would be my suggestion that you enable it
[03:08] <kk0710> we are going in circles here
[03:09] <Bray90820> Inky2000 sorry i was gone
[03:09] <BoBo_> i also have serial console access if that would help
[03:09] <escott> kk0710, in all probability you will not see any options that mention efi, because why would would you have such an option, thats the default
[03:09] <kk0710> you've said that
[03:09] <kk0710> I understand that
[03:09] <escott> kk0710, if you dont enable the bios emulation you have the default which is efi
[03:09] <Bray90820> can you explain the tablet thingy again
[03:09] <Nothing_Much> gnome -restart
[03:10] <apwbdjp> kk0710, stuff is simple: Either there's something about Legacy Bios in the setup, and if there isn't then you should send Futjisu some advice about making computers.
[03:10] <bazhang> !touch | Bray90820
[03:10] <Bray90820> no not that lol
[03:10] <george_> how xfce open 3D?????
[03:10] <bazhang> Bray90820, thats where it is
[03:10] <kk0710> well I've just checked, the only legacy options are for usb s upport.
[03:10] <Ben64> !details | george_
[03:10] <Bray90820> Inky2000 was talking about using her convertible netbook/tablet
[03:11] <Bray90820> or his
[03:11] <george_> 6_6!!!
[03:11] <bazhang> Bray90820, how is that related to ubuntu support
[03:11] <george_> i just want to open xfce 3D ~
[03:11] <escott> kk0710, and you are booting cd?
[03:11] <Ben64> george_: what does that mean
[03:11] <Bray90820> because it was spesificly about using is with ubuntu
[03:11] <bazhang> george_, then install ccsm
[03:11] <kk0710> escott: liveusb
[03:12] <escott> kk0710, so why dont you enable the legacy options for usb then
[03:12] <kk0710> parted -l just gives what i told you, it created 3 partitions curing install a 98 mg fat32 bootable, an ext4 and a swap
[03:12] <bazhang> !ccsm | george_
[03:12] <apwbdjp> kk0710, since you know how to make a ubuntu install, then I'll suppose you wouldn't miss any tabs or "advanced" part on the UEFI setup. Then I'll say Futjisu has either released a BIOS update for this, or that computer is really really sad.
[03:12] <kk0710> escott: how does that help me get it installed?  It boots fine from the usb
[03:12] <escott> kk0710, id like to actually see the table not your description of it
[03:12] <george_> ccsm???what is it ????
[03:12] <bazhang> george_, I just send you info about it
[03:12] <ViralFrost> george_ - compizconfig-settings-manager
[03:13] <kk0710> apwbdjp: I searched all advanced tabs and could find nothing relating to it
[03:13] <apwbdjp> escott, The live boot works, the install goes flawlessly, it's when he takes off the usb stick and tries to boot the new install that it doesn't want to
[03:13] <escott> kk0710, because if you boot efi you have to install efi
[03:13] <Bray90820> what i wanted to do was write a script to enable the onscreen keyboard and change a setting un firefox everytime i rotated the screen into tablet mode
[03:13] <george_> how can i install it
[03:13] <ViralFrost> sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[03:13] <escott> kk0710, and for whatever reason your installed efi system is not booting. so maybe ditch the crappy pointless mess that is efi and try bios
[03:14] <apwbdjp> kk0710, escott, I've met a netbook that wouldn't go bad to legacy IDE for the hard drive, and there was no SATA driver for it, so there was no way to install Windows XP on it
[03:14] <apwbdjp> And there was just nothing to do
[03:14] <escott> apwbdjp, this has nothing to do with IDE vs SATA
[03:15] <apwbdjp> escott, not what I mean. I mean some BIOSes don't let you go back to Legacy mode, on some stuff
[03:15] <kk0710> legacy usb su pport is already enabled
[03:15] <Bray90820> Inky2000 are you still in here
[03:16] <kk0710> so that idea wont work I guess
[03:16] <Ben64> Bray90820: there is nobody here with that nick
[03:16] <escott> apwbdjp, (a) he doesn't have BIOS, (b) essentially all shipping uefi systems have an emulation layer otherwise one would not be able to install win XP-vista
[03:16] <Bray90820> ok
[03:16] <Bray90820> there was a few hours ago
[03:16] <Bray90820> that's why i asked
[03:16] <kk0710> escott: well like I said I see no way to do it and ive been looking for a while now
[03:17] <kk0710> if you want I will read off the options in the bios
[03:17] <Ben64> Bray90820: you could just look at the user list or hit tab to find names
[03:17] <Bray90820> maybe they changed there nick
[03:17] <escott> kk0710, it wouldn't be very informative. each implementation behaves differently
[03:18] <georgetso> greetings! got a question, how could my ubuntu server execute a set of "grant privileges" statements after mysql started?
[03:18] <georgetso> greetings! got a question, how could my ubuntu server execute a set of "grant privileges" statements after mysql started automatically?
[03:18] <kk0710> well I guess my friend is fucked until I we can get win 7 back on here then
[03:18] <george_> i find xfce can not open 3D ~~
[03:18] <kk0710> ubuntu just isn't going to work
[03:18] <bazhang> kk0710, no cursing here
[03:18] <escott> kk0710, so its not certain what any such option would actually mean. it could mean, boot bios exclusively, or boot bios if efi signatures are not present or list a bios boot in a menu during boot options (the last is what my uefi does)
[03:19] <kk0710> yah we are making no forward motion here so this is pointless.  Thanks anyway
[03:20] <george_> i find xfce can not open 3D ~~
[03:20] <george_> i find xfce can not open 3D ~~
[03:20] <Ben64> george_: stop spamming, and you might want to say what you mean by "open 3D"
[03:20] <Bray90820> So anyone wanna help me write a script
[03:20] <Bray90820> or help me take a look at one that has already been made
[03:20] <Ben64> Bray90820: #bash ?
[03:21] <kk0710> hopefully ubuntu will fix this soon enough
[03:21] <Bray90820> ben64 i'm not sure
[03:21] <Ben64> kk0710: it's not ubuntu's fault that computer manufacturers are locking down their hardware
[03:21] <apwbdjp> Ben64, thank you! Finally someone who gets me!
[03:22] <apwbdjp> Bray90820, what do you want your script to do, anyway?
[03:22] <kk0710> Ben64: that is true but it is there fault they haven't worked with the new setup yet.
[03:22] <Ben64> kk0710: no, its not
[03:22] <kk0710> If you say so
[03:23] <Bray90820> well in reality i would like it to enable the onscreen keyboard and change a setting in firefox every time the netbook screen is rotated into tablet mode
[03:24] <kk0710> what I dont understand is the fact that it says that ubuntu supports uefi booting?  If it does why am I having problems?
[03:24] <Bray90820> apwbdjp and then another one to disable all of that when i rotate it back to laptop mode
[03:24] <Ben64> kk0710: because they do other stuff like secureboot
[03:24] <escott> kk0710, steps forward are either to commit to efi and try to debug why that isn't booting, or to use a live image that can only boot bios to try and do the install. ie damage/remove the efi signatures from the liveusb
[03:25] <deadly> how do you save a file when editing in putty?
[03:25] <Ben64> deadly: putty is a windows program
[03:25] <deadly> im running a vps
[03:25] <escott> kk0710, efi is new, and its a big buggy mess. there is more code in uefi than in the linux kernel, and its completely outside of the open source community
[03:25] <Ben64> deadly: ok? putty is still a windows program
[03:25] <apwbdjp> deadly, you can't really edit IN putty, that depends on the editor you're using inside it
[03:26] <escott> kk0710, in a 5-10 years it will hopefully all just work, but right now its just a pain
[03:26] <deadly> is there another way to get access to my vps to do so?
[03:26] <deadly> im currently up to this step: Add the user:      ftpuser  save the file and open the vsftp.conf file again:      vi /etc/vsftpd.conf  Add the following lines at the end of the file and save it: - See more at: http://www.php2s.com/linux/how-to-install-configure-vsftpd-on-rhel-centos-ubuntu-fedora-debian.html#sthash.SrV3tL41.dpuf
[03:26] <Bray90820> apwbdjp what i was thinking was maybe assigning it to a hot key or something
[03:26] <escott> kk0710, so support is there, but thats not a guarantee that toshiba did their part correctly or according to the specification
[03:27] <Ben64> deadly: so then you want to know how to save with "vi", the answer is "<escape>:wq<enter>"
[03:27] <apwbdjp> deadly: when you edit inside vi/vim, do [esc] (escape) a couple of times, then :w then enter, to save
[03:27] <escott> kk0710, since you said toshiba ill point you to: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/#entry-22028
[03:27] <apwbdjp> deadly, if you don't know how to use vi, you should be using nano instead
[03:27] <deadly> whats that?
[03:28] <Ben64> !info nano | deadly
[03:31] <colinb_> Hi all.  I am thinking of trying Ubuntu, and I am interested in using fvwm as my DE.. does anyone anticipate I will have much trouble getting fvwm running?
[03:31] <deadly> wow i am soo confused with all this server setup stuff
[03:31] <deadly> just for a basic ftp transfer
[03:31] <Ben64> colinb_: little to none
[03:31] <colinb_> Ben: awesome!
[03:32] <Ben64> it's in the repositories, so you should just need to install it and go
[03:32] <colinb_> sweet!
[03:32] <dn4> how do I find my usb hdd on my computer
[03:34] <airlynx> escott, that article doesn't state which toshiba models are affected (neither does the bug report it links to) do you have any more info on that?
[03:34] <Capnpat> Could someone help me with a networking/Atheros driver issue?
[03:35] <escott> airlynx, i believe there are some links in the comments. but i only follow it like one follows a reality tv show. just to watch the trainwreck
[03:36] <airlynx> escott, thanks, I just bought myself a brand new toshiba and trying out Win8 before I install Ubuntu, was just dropping by and noticed your link
[03:36] <Bray90820> apwbdjp would you be able to help me write the script
[03:38] <apwbdjp> Bray90820, putting up a hotkey for showing the onscreen keyboard is pretty easy (You google "Keyboard Shortcuts Ubuntu"), changing Firefox's conf is not that easy, though
[03:39] <apwbdjp> Bray90820, I also know nothing about how to detect when a convertible switches to Tablet mode
[03:40] <Bray90820> well i didn't really wanna change the conf of firefox just click a button
[03:40] <Bray90820> just to enable and disable an exstention
[03:40] <Bray90820> i could do that manually tho if i had to
[03:40] <Vivekananda> HI there everyone. everyone. Can someone tell me a good way to compare files eg html files. diff is great but with the <> already in it it is a mess to compare them using diff
[03:41] <escott> Vivekananda, well thats just a display format issue. you could use a gui tool like meld or gvimdiff
[03:42] <Vivekananda> escott: meld or gvimdiff has diff as the background ?? is gvimdiff already installed ??
[03:42] <Bray90820> anyways i gotta go
[03:42] <escott> Vivekananda, if you want a more SGML specific tool there are probably some structured diff tools. perhaps as part of Perl6 but probably also some independent programs
[03:42] <Bray90820> i will be back in like an hour or so
[03:42]  * Bray90820 is away
[03:44] <escott> Vivekananda, if you have gvim installed you can use gvim. but thats still just diff with colors
[03:45] <escott> Vivekananda, if you want something that is not line oriented like http://diffxml.sourceforge.net/
[03:45] <Vivekananda> escott: I am running two xpath queries and want to compare results. The results are showing up as just one huge line instead of separate lines
[03:46] <Vivekananda> I tried gvimdiff but it is just one huge line :(
[03:46] <Vivekananda> I will try meld
[03:46] <escott> Vivekananda, then put a newline character in your xpath output
[03:46] <Vivekananda> hmm
[03:48] <escott> Vivekananda, an xml document is perfectly valid even if it is just one long line, and your xpath tool won't prettify the output by putting newlines that aren't required unless you ask it to
[03:48] <Vivekananda> escott: yep I understood that. Just unfamiliar with how to incorporate it into the code. Even if do it wont help coz the correct solution code is also one straight line
[03:49] <crippledmonk> Vivekanada, does VIM do what yo want?
[03:49] <Vivekananda> I guess will have to manually sift through the code
[03:49] <Vivekananda> ok hold on I will just paste what I have ---
[03:49] <escott> Vivekananda, what is your xpath query?
[03:50] <escott> Vivekananda, and what xpath tool are you using to run the query
[03:51] <Vivekananda> http://pastebin.com/HF7P2MLG
[03:51] <dn4> where are the fonts located in ubunt
[03:51] <Vivekananda> escott: This is just for the database class and I am running this on their online interactive page(Stanford :))
[03:51] <escott> dn4, /usr/share/fonts i believe
[03:52] <escott> Vivekananda, so Oracle?
[03:52] <Vivekananda> nope sql but this is not sql but xpath
[03:53] <Vivekananda> we have a sample file and have to run queries ( practice basically)
[03:53] <escott> Vivekananda, yes i got that. but is it the XML modules in Oracle?
[03:53] <chaz68> Anyone using new Teamviewer 8 with Ubuntu 12.04 and getting this?:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lsb/+bug/1094218
[03:54] <holstein> chaz68: ive been using it and not getting it.. 64bit 12.04
[03:54] <Vivekananda> I dont understand your question. here is the link if you want to look at it but not sure if you could open the page itself
[03:54] <Vivekananda> http://class2go.stanford.edu/db/Winter2013/interactive_exercises/XMLCourse-CatalogXPathandXQueryExerciseschallenge
[03:54] <chaz68> Hmmm... My 12.04 was an upgrade from 10.04...
[03:55] <TheLordOfTime> chaz68, unable to replicate, but you should read this first: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lsb/+question/222611
[03:55] <chaz68> holstein:  Is your 12.04 "a ground-up from scratch install"?
[03:55] <TheLordOfTime> chaz68, the bug was converted into a question, by the way, it contains a workaround
[03:56] <holstein> chaz68: fresh install
[03:56] <TheLordOfTime> as is mine.
[03:56] <holstein> chaz68: not that im implying that is the issue... have you tried as another user?
[03:58] <chaz68> Guess I could, but that would kill the whole purpose of using Teamviewer.  The error / crash doesn't disable the system and I'm able to launch Teamviewer later.
[03:58] <chaz68> (Without login as this user, certain files and directories on the network would not be available and would hamper my user support effort...
[03:59] <holstein> chaz68: im saying, in an effort to troubleshoot.. if it works as expected as a new user, then the issue is with your config
[04:00] <chaz68> TLOT / holstein:  What do you think of TheLordofTime's referenced workaround?
[04:00] <TheLordOfTime> chaz68, no need to ping me, you know... you may want to also try as a separate user
[04:00] <TheLordOfTime> just in case.

[04:02] <Juest> i have no idea why 1) sound automatically mutes 2) i can't run Source Engine cuz OpenGL problem, i have installed ati drivers properly
[04:02] <Juest> im on 12.1

[04:02] <Juest> can someone help me please?
[04:03] <chaz68> I guess I should say, "is it necessary"?  I mean I get an error at boot but I can still run the program...
[04:03] <cnblue> Hi, ibus can't switch to any IME  in WINE apps , anyone know a fix to that ?
[04:03] <holstein> dn4: you can move as root.. sudo
[04:03] <dn4> I did
[04:03] <dn4> or I tried
[04:03] <dn4> how do I cp them ?
[04:03] <Juest> Hello holstein
[04:03] <holstein> dn4: you can cp them as root... sudo
[04:04] <holstein> !sudo | dn4
[04:04] <holstein> dn4: or, just add them for your user http://askubuntu.com/questions/18357/how-to-install-otf-fonts
[04:04] <Juest> eh
[04:04] <Juest> im /ignored or what
[04:04] <holstein> Juest: nope, its just not a social channel.. try the OT channel for chat
[04:05] <Juest> Well i have a problem with the system holstein
[04:05] <escott> Vivekananda, its been a while since i have worked with xpath and only on oracle, but there should be a way to output a newline after each result
[04:05] <holstein> !sound | Juest
[04:05] <Juest> 12.10: i have sound muted everytime i go in lightdm or any session
[04:06] <Juest> holstein: Sound is muted every time session changes (lightdm or user logged on)
[04:06] <Juest> Checked the apple
[04:06] <holstein> Juest: that is different than what i read above.. you login and sound mutes? can you unmute it?
[04:06] <holstein> Juest: the apple?
[04:06] <Juest> it's odd that it always muted
[04:06] <Juest> applet*
[04:06] <Juest> Even at login it's muted
[04:07] <Juest> and i unmute it
[04:07] <Juest> and it mutes again!
[04:07] <Juest> holstein: also i seem to have problems with graphics
[04:07] <Guest31079> hy
[04:07] <escott> dn4, just put your fonts in ~/.fonts
[04:08] <Juest> I have the lastest stable ati driver, but i can't run counter strike source, Might be because kernel update?? (yes, i updated kernel)
[04:08] <Juest> holstein
[04:08] <holstein> Juest: you have the latest driver from the repos?
[04:08] <dn4> escott, I cannot find that
[04:08] <Juest> Gnome shell doesn't work
[04:08] <Juest> holstein: Not from repos, from ATI
[04:08] <Juest> Repos have old fglrx
[04:09] <escott> dn4, make the folder then
[04:09] <Juest> Mutter doesn't work
[04:09] <Juest> compiz does
[04:09] <holstein> Juest: i would use the one from the repos and test
[04:09] <colinb_> is there any performance difference between a fresh install and a shared Windows install?
[04:09] <Juest> holstein: But the repo version is way too old: 9.x
[04:10] <Guest31079> hy all
[04:10] <holstein> Juest: i suggest testing with it.. you dont have to
[04:10] <bazhang> colinb_, wubi?
[04:10] <dn4> escott, ok I put a folder with the fonts in .fonts
[04:10] <dn4> is that ok"?
[04:10] <colinb_> yes I believe so
[04:10] <Guest31079> newbi
[04:10] <Juest> umm, what part of old driver you don't understand holstein ?
[04:10] <bazhang> Guest31079, did you have an ubuntu support question?
[04:11] <manicmac> How do I fix this: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[04:11] <manicmac> When trying to apt-get bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia
[04:11] <escott> dn4, with .fonts in your home directory yes
[04:11] <bazhang> colinb_, a native install is much preferred to wubi
[04:11] <dn4> hmm mozilla isn't picking it pu
[04:11] <escott> dn4, did you restart mozilla
[04:11] <dn4> yes
 i connot speak englis
[04:11] <Juest> i have updated to new kernel and i have problems now, how i fix?
[04:12] <colinb_> bazhang, that's what I thought.. I just don't have a cdrom drive on this laptop nor a usb stick
[04:12] <bazhang> Guest31079, what language
[04:12] <escott> dn4, you might try logging out or putting the font files in ~/.fonts and not a subfolder of ~/.fonts
[04:12] <holstein> Juest: its a suggestion.. and again, you dont have to, but the driver from the repos will be best supported here, and in the operating system
[04:12] <Juest> oh well
[04:12] <Guest31079> bazhang indonesia
[04:12] <Juest> But supported driver is not supported actually holstein
[04:12] <Guest31079> my englis is bad

[04:13] <Guest31079> ubottu makasi om
[04:13] <holstein> Juest: enjoy then! maybe another volunteer can help you
[04:13] <Juest> idk
[04:13] <colinb_> bazhang, is there anyway to do an install without cdrom or usb?
[04:14] <Juest> kernel update caused this kind of problems, how i fix?
[04:14] <bazhang> !repeat | Juest
[04:14] <Juest> colinb_: You can't, only on a vm
[04:14] <Juest> bazhang: How do i fix really?
[04:15] <dn4> mozilla is still not getting the fonts
[04:15] <Juest> It's urgent, that'why !repeat
[04:15] <dr_willis> select an older kernel at the grub menu
[04:15] <bazhang> Juest, dont repeat every five seconds.
[04:15] <Guest31079> ubottu caranya saya pendatang baru di ubuntu om
[04:15] <Juest> dr_willis: can't, i delete old kernels
[04:15] <dr_willis> reinstall them.
[04:15] <holstein> Juest: the kernel is made to work with the other packages in the repos.. i would try the supported driver, even though its older, just for troubleshooting.. otherwise, ATI, can provide support for the kernel you are using
[04:15] <Juest> dr_willis: reinstall what? where i get the old kernel?
[04:16] <dr_willis> the old kernels are still in the repos...
[04:16] <Juest> holstein: idk, but i know that the repo package is OLD, should i reinstall the ati fglrx driver?
[04:16] <holstein> yeah,, and in your grub list Juest .. you can see them at boot time
[04:16] <ejv> you could (technically) use 'dd' to install ubuntu from an existing drive image, doesn't require USB or CDROM. good luck.
[04:16] <Juest> holstein: oh well, i delete the kernels i said
[04:16] <Guest31079> ubottu how to join ubutu-id
[04:16] <dr_willis> this is why you noemally keep 1 or 2 old kernels
[04:16] <IdleOne> Guest31079: /join #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia
[04:17] <Juest> Guest31079:  /join #ubuntu-id
[04:17] <holstein> Juest: you can reinstall them... a troubleshooting step will be necessary on your part... just think about if you'd like to test an older kernel with the current driver, or the older driver with the current kernel.. thanks!
[04:17] <Juest> holstein: oh well, i got to go anyway, Thanks, will reinstall fglrx
[04:17] <Juest> anyway
[04:18] <Juest> fglrx had survived kernel update
[04:18] <holstein> Juest: oh well?
[04:18] <Juest> it's just this kernel causing problems
[04:18] <Juest> upgraded from .23 to .25
[04:18] <holstein> Juest: you can install the ealier one and confirm that
[04:19] <holstein> earlier*
[04:19] <kevdog> in the house!!!
[04:19] <dn4> how do I see cp copy files

[04:20] <acu> hello, is there a channel with people who know about outer space - temperature at shadow or when fully facing sun ?
[04:20] <dr_willis> that was odd.. got muffled by floodbot
[04:20] <colinb> I wonder if one can boot from an SD card?
[04:21] <holstein> !ot | acu might be more appropriate
[04:21] <dr_willis> colinb:  my netbooks could
[04:21] <holstein> colinb: i use unetbootin on sdcards just like usb sticks
[04:21] <colinb> I suppose it is BIOS dependent?
[04:21] <dr_willis> colinb:  i whuld say yes.
[04:21] <holstein> colinb: i use PLOP to boot what i like, but i use PLOP from cd
[04:23] <dr_willis> ive had a full ubuntu install on sd card for my netbook
[04:23] <escott> dr_willis, stop being so helpful, you are flooding the channel
[04:24] <colinb> :)
[04:24] <Juest> i have my sdcard broken LOL
[04:24] <Juest> and i can't run gnome-shell
[04:25] <Juest> and i deleted old kernels
[04:25] <Juest> (to save space)
[04:25] <kevdog> why can't you run gnome-shell?
[04:25] <Juest> i can confirm kernel broke graphics
[04:25] <Juest> somehow
[04:26] <kevdog> you probably just need to reinstall video driver
[04:26] <holstein> kevdog: you mean, how can one run gnome-shell?
[04:26] <Juest> kevdog: i have flgrx installed
[04:26] <Juest> fglrx
[04:26] <Juest> and it's lastest
[04:26] <kevdog> that
[04:26] <kevdog> that's the ati driver right?
[04:26] <Juest> Yep
[04:26] <holstein> Juest: you can reinstall the kernel that worked/works
[04:27] <Juest> idk, i told u that i deleted kernel
[04:27] <dr_willis>  latest from the repos or from the ati sites Juest
[04:27] <holstein> Juest: you can *reinstall* them...
[04:27] <kevdog> if your internet still works cant you just use apt-get to get old kernel?
[04:27] <Juest> ati site dr_willis
[04:27] <bazhang> Juest, reinstall the old ones
[04:27] <Juest> works far better than 9.5x from repo
[04:27] <dr_willis> Juest: thats a huge part of your problem then
[04:27] <Juest> Why you guys insist with an older driver?
[04:28] <kevdog> because new one doesn't work??
[04:28] <bazhang> Juest, pay attention
[04:28] <dr_willis> we dont support non repo drivers
[04:28] <Juest> should i try reinstall these drivers?
[04:28] <Juest> idc, i want help anyway
[04:28] <holstein> Juest: the "help" is, you need to install something.. either the kernel that worked, or the driver that will likely work
[04:29] <Juest> gnome-shell and mutter don't run
[04:29] <dr_willis> yu MUST manually install the ati driver for each kernel if you use the one from the ati site
[04:29] <Juest> There's no kernel specification in ati website
[04:29] <Juest> only Xorg version
[04:29] <holstein> yeah, its likely just that you need to reinstall manually again Juest
[04:29] <holstein> Juest: its a module that gets built, since you are not using the repo version
[04:34] <coolroot> hello, i'm plannin to get rid of my ubuntu 10.04 and reinstall it back, do i need to use gparted? to reformat it?
[04:34] <bazhang> coolroot, the installer will do that
[04:35] <coolroot> i tried using usb stick with bootable ubuntu 10.04 distro but i got error :(
[04:37] <bazhang> coolroot, any reason not to use 12.04 the most recent LTS?
[04:38] <dr_willis> !10.04
[04:39] <coolroot> hmmm might be too huge i mean i'm having a low spec in my laptop
[04:41] <kevdog> when I upgrade ubuntu version -- specifically 11.10 to 12.04 -- do I lose all the settings for example with gnome-fallback shell with metacity?
[04:41] <holstein> coolroot: i would try xubuntu 12.04 or lubuntu
[04:42] <cnblue> Hi, ibus can't switch to any IME  in WINE apps , anyone know a fix to that ?
[04:42] <escott> kevdog, you are on a dead-end desktop anyways
[04:42] <holstein> kevdog: i would backup everything, and expect to lose everything.. usually most settings try to be preserved
[04:42] <dcope> anyone in here bought the xps dell 13 (sputnik)? curious on the build quality.
[04:43] <bazhang> dcope, try ##hardware
[04:44] <escott> kevdog, i believe metacity still exists in 12.04 but it will be gtk3 based so won't be identical
[04:44] <kevdog> backup everything -- what's best way to do that other than like a clonezilla
[04:44] <PadNet_201> noob question, how do i force a disk check? fsck or something? My browser won't run right now or i'd google it
[04:44] <dcope> bazhang: thanks
[04:44] <dcope> i'll try there
[04:44] <bazhang> cnblue, check the appdb and ask in the wine support channel    #winehq
[04:44] <bazhang> !appdb | cnblue
[04:44] <dr_willis> !fsck
[04:44] <kevdog> I'm running compiz ontop of metacity -- and from my understanding compiz doesn't work in 12.04 -- or is that FUD
[04:45] <dr_willis> PadNet_201:  id use the fsck command from a live cd
[04:45] <dr_willis> kevdog:  your whole statement is false..
[04:45] <bazhang> kevdog, compiz is a bit problematic yes
[04:45] <PadNet_201> dr_willis, is that b/c u can't run it on a mounted system?
[04:45] <dr_willis> compiz replaces metacity
[04:45] <dr_willis> PadNet_201:  you dont fsck a mounted fs.. correct
[04:45] <bazhang> kevdog, but its with unity, not metacity
[04:45] <escott> PadNet_201, dr_willis +1 i wouldn't be touching anything on a filesystem if i was uncertain of its validitiy
[04:46] <kevdog> yea - -- but didn't gnome fallback get rid of unity?
[04:46] <dr_willis> compiz works ok for most people on 12.04 - it depends on your hardware and drivers
[04:46] <chaz68> Did Adobe give up Acrobat / Acrobat Reader development for Linux platforms?  Just updating my Ubuntu install and see it's updating to 9.5X something...  I've got Acrobat 11 on some Windows desktops around here...
[04:46] <dr_willis> kevdog:  get rid? it dosent uninstall it.
[04:47] <kevdog> arggh -- you can see I'm not using the correct language here.
[04:47] <bazhang> chaz68, acroread? should be in either partner or medibuntu repo, let me check
[04:47] <PadNet_201> dr_willis, escott, thx
[04:47] <dr_willis> kevdog:  if you want a light old skool desktop - try lubuntu
[04:47] <chaz68> bazhang:  No it's there... I've got it but it's version 9.5X something.  Just curious if it's being abandoned like Flash Player is on Linux...
[04:47] <faryshta> hi, can I install kik on linux?
[04:48] <dr_willis> faryshta:  and whats kik?
[04:48] <bazhang> chaz68, not to my knowledge
[04:48] <chaz68> Like I said, I've got Acrobat version 11.02 on some Windows desktops over here.... Seems to be way behind on the Linux release...
[04:48] <faryshta> dr_willis, its a messenger for phones or something I am not sure
[04:48] <apb1963_> aptitude search "network?" gives a few results, but seems to be missing some obvious hits like "tcpdump"... I can't help but wonder what else I'm not seeing.  What am I doing wrong?
[04:49] <chaz68> Would use evince or xpdf but there are some clowns who insist on encrypting their PDF's with a AES-256...  Only works with Adobe Acrobat Reader...
[04:49] <dr_willis> faryshta:  you are not sure what it is...  but you want to install it.. is it a windows app or what exactly?
[04:49] <kevdog> I'm not looking for a light desktop per se -- I really just liked the old compiz stuff -- I'm not wed to it - my problem was really the unity toolbar -- took up too much real-estate on the screen.  There is probably a way to find it I'm sure -- but it's been like 1.5 years since I've messed with the system setup -- everything runs great on the system but I'm afraid when 11.10 reaches EOL -- which should be like later this year -- I'm i
[04:50] <dr_willis> kevdog:  you can make a custom compiz session if you really wanted to
[04:50] <dr_willis> compiz + a dock +  whatever ;)
[04:50] <faryshta> dr_willis, http://kik.com/
[04:51] <kevdog> Wasn't support for compiz like being dropped about that time -- or is that FUD as well.
[04:51] <dr_willis> kevdog:  compiz is still goint strong..
[04:51] <dr_willis> going
[04:51] <PadNet_201> dr_willis, any ideas why my browser tries to load and just crashes w/o warning? the fsck went well
[04:51] <kevdog> good to know !!!
[04:52] <dr_willis> PadNet_201:  extensions would be my guess.. run it with a default empty/clean session perhaps
[04:52] <PadNet_201> dr_willis, wilco
[04:52] <dr_willis> compiz needs work in a great many areas.. but itsa getting better.
[04:54] <escott> kevdog, compiz is unity only these days
[04:54] <escott> kevdog, these days being 12.10 and up
[04:55] <faryshta> is it possible to install kik on ubuntu?
[04:56] <dr_willis> faryshta:  if its a windows app. you can try it in wine
[04:57] <PadNet_201> dr_willis, Imagine that, my reddit enhancement suite extension was causing problems... thx!
[04:57] <dr_willis> PadNet_201:  the revenge of /r/lolcats
[04:57] <PadNet_201> lol
[04:58] <dr_willis> i only seem to read redit from my phone...
[04:58] <Anirban> I am having problem installing Vuze from Software Centre....I cannot see it in the launch bar
[04:58] <dr_willis> not sure if fan of redit.. or of imgur
[04:59] <PadNet_201> lol I know what u mean
[05:01] <Anirban> I am using uuntu 12.04LTS
[05:02] <chadford1324> so where should I go for questions on trying to get a certain program to work?
[05:02] <chaz68> chadford1324:  What program?
[05:02] <chadford1324> c3 for voice chatting
[05:03] <Anirban> I have installed and removed Vuze both from the software centre and the command to terminal but of no avail
[05:03] <bazhang> Anirban, why not try a more stable torrent client
[05:03] <gwinbee> chadford1324: I'd assume the best method would be to find out if *they* run a chat and ask there.
[05:03] <bazhang> chadford1324, what is c3
[05:04] <chadford1324> its like an off-brand teamspeak
[05:04] <chadford1324> and its free lol
[05:04] <Anirban> Earlier I installed qBittorrent client , but it use to crash now and then so I tried Vuze.
[05:04] <bazhang> chadford1324, where is the source for installation
[05:04] <chaz68> chadford1324:   C3 a Windows platform?
[05:04] <gwinbee> Anirban: have you tried Transmission? Or utorrent via wine for that matter?
[05:04] <bazhang> Anirban, transmission and deluge are much more used
[05:05] <chadford1324> yeah it is for windows. I'm using wine to get it to install
[05:05] <chadford1324> I'm allow to post links right?
[05:05] <Anirban> @bazhang : Is Vuze not stable in Ubuntu ? Its quite stable in my Windows
[05:05] <apwbdjp> gwinbee, utorrent runs on Linux too, server version
[05:05] <gwinbee> apwbdjp: I did not know this
[05:05] <bazhang> Anirban, the java based torrent client? its not stable on any platform
[05:05] <ClientAlive> so... on 12.04 the xscreensaver daemon does not start upon booting the computer. So, earlier, I find out there is a typo in a config file for it. Do: "sudo less /etc/xdg/autostart/screensaver.desktop | grep Applicaton" and you see. Now, on 12.10 (which I just installed for a relative, it's the same problem but running the aformentioned command reveals that there is no such file on 12.10. What do I do? Create it?
[05:05] <gwinbee> I switched to transmission years ago though...
[05:05] <dr_willis> !info vuze
[05:05] <apwbdjp> gwinbee, you just run it, and go to  http://localhost:8080/gui
[05:06] <gwinbee> interesting.
[05:06] <apwbdjp> It has a nice web interface
[05:06] <chaz68> chadford1324:  I may suggest CrossOver for Linux if straight Wine doesn't do the trick.  I presume you're trying to get it running in Ubuntu...
[05:06] <dr_willis> most torrect clients can do a web interface these days
[05:06] <chadford1324> here is the link for the install bazhang http://www.downloadc3.com/
[05:06] <apwbdjp> And all the power of utorrent, with very very little resources usage
[05:07] <chadford1324> excuse my nubness but crossover?
[05:07] <chaz68> CrossOver's web page if you don't get it working in WINE:  http://www.codeweavers.com/
[05:07] <gwinbee> right now my torrents are going through a win7 computer, I have to admit I only tolerate transmission in linux. I'll try out that web-based linux utorrent next time I need torrenting on ubuntu though.
[05:08] <Anirban> I have tried Transmisson , At times It also crashes. Also is there any GUI to launch Transmission ? It only starts when I click on a magnet link
[05:08] <crazyhorse> on multiple monitors, if you divide the screens into 4 vertical slices (across both of them), how do you maximise windows to slice 3 and slice 4?   I can't work out how to do it
[05:08] <chadford1324> Ok cool thanks. I'll give this a try :)
[05:08] <crazyhorse> 2) how do you add a directory to the list of directories in the file explorer?
[05:09] <chaz68> gwinbee:  Utorrent is on LInux now????
[05:09] <safridzal> hi, anyone know how to edit KDE's shutdown timeout? (not to disable it, but change the value, from 30 sec to 10 or 5)
[05:09] <dr_willis> crazyhorse: for my nvidia setup i move most of the window to the monitor. then fullscreen it.. it goes to what monitor has the most of the window
[05:09] <dr_willis> chaz68:  has been for some time
[05:10] <crazyhorse> hmmm.. yeah i can only do the half-maximise thing (that they have in windows) on slice 1 and 4 by dragging to the edge of the screen
[05:10] <chaz68> chadford1324:  Crossover can help you run a lot of stuff natively on the desktop without resorting to a VM....  I've run older MS programs successfully with it but have stayed with VM's now for various reasons...
[05:10] <dr_willis> crazyhorse: just double click the titlebar?
[05:10] <gwinbee> chaz68: from what apwbdjp says, yeah. Server-based, you access it via your browser. see apwbdjp in backlog for details.
[05:11] <crazyhorse> dr_willis: nah that makes it occupy monitor 1 (i.e. both slice 1 and 2), i already have an app in slice 2
[05:11] <crazyhorse> sorry in slice 1
[05:11] <dr_willis> crazyhorse: some badly written apps do that.
[05:11] <chadford1324> ohh ok chaz68 . I just started using ubuntu like 3 days ago or so lol
[05:11] <chaz68> dr_willis:  I see alpha download here...   http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux
[05:11] <chaz68> very cool - wasn't aware of that.
[05:11] <chadford1324> So I'm still learning my way around all of the programs and stuff
[05:11] <crazyhorse> pooh worked it out
[05:12] <dr_willis> crazyhorse: what video drivers and card?
[05:12] <crazyhorse> you have to drag to the bottom edge between slice2/slice3
[05:12] <Anirban> I have a incomplete torrent in my transmission . I want to start it
[05:12] <crazyhorse> dr_willis: macbook pro 6,1 (whatever that is)
[05:12] <crazyhorse> oh and i'm running in a VM so i'm guessing that makes it even more confusing :)
[05:12] <chaz68> chadford1324:  Didn't find C3 in the Crossover database.  Free 14 day trial.  May really like it if it works for your app.  Probably should see if your game works first...
[05:13] <crazyhorse> dr_willis: I've got so much work to finish i didn't want to go with the more risky partitioning option.. i'll do that later
[05:14] <crazyhorse> how do i lock the explorer window to always show list view?
[05:14] <chaz68> chadford1324:  Might want to chat with some advanced users of C3.  If it works on Mac, good shot at possibly shoe-horning it into working on Ubuntu.
[05:15] <dr_willis> crazyhorse:  ubuntu uses "nautilus" for its filemanager
[05:16] <Anirban> Can anyone tell me how to launch transmission
[05:16] <bazhang> Anirban, it has a menu icon
[05:16] <crazyhorse> ok in nautilus, how do you lock it so that it always shows list view?
[05:16] <dr_willis> Anirban: run transmission-gtk perhaps
[05:16] <chadford1324> Ok I'll talk to the people with c3 and some others Thanks for you help :)
[05:17] <Anirban> @bazhang : I cannot find it in the launch bar...
[05:17] <dr_willis> crazyhorse: no idea. never tried. askubuntu.com may know
[05:17] <crazyhorse> been googling :?
[05:17] <crazyhorse> :/
[05:17] <bazhang> Anirban, in unity?
[05:18] <dr_willis> i alays hit askubuntu.com befor i google
[05:18] <Anirban> 12.04 LTS 64 bit
[05:18] <dr_willis> 12.10's help lense searches askubuntu.com i recall. ;-)
[05:19] <bazhang> Anirban, thats not the shell. which one do you use
[05:19] <dr_willis> Anirban: run transmission-gtk perhaps and just pin it.
[05:19] <dr_willis> !find transmission-gtk
[05:20] <cheshair> Hi! How can I change my Ubuntu single sign-on username?
[05:20] <dr_willis> !info transmission-gtk
[05:21] <crazyhorse> dr_willis: awesome... yeah it was on there.. Edit > Preferences.. it's weird using a gui for an operating system you've used the command line for,for 5 years haha
[05:21] <bja> is there a known chrubuntu channel?
[05:21] <bja> either here or somewhere else?
[05:22] <theixle> bja, if you find one let me know. I'm curious about chrubuntu and the acer c7
[05:22] <bja> just wanted to talk over getting a newer kernel onto the machine
[05:22] <ttoti> There is a blog where someone posts instructions on how to install Chrubuntu
[05:23] <bazhang> bja, what is chrubuntu
[05:23] <ttoti> Its Ubuntu for the Chromebook
[05:23] <theixle> ttoti, Yeah read that blog
[05:23] <bja> ubuntu installed onto a google chromebook using the chromebook's native linux kernel
[05:23] <bja> I'm on it now
[05:23] <bja> am tracking 13.04
[05:23] <bja> but still using the kernel that shipped with the machine
[05:23] <ttoti> How is that running? I have Debian running on my CR-48 and its pretty good
[05:24] <bja> I think I understand the principle behind getting a new kernel on there (it needs to include specific patches and then be signed by a special utility that wraps it so the firmware can boot it)
[05:24] <bja> fine
[05:24] <bja> I've sank about US$430 into it
[05:24] <bja> it now has a 128GB SSD, 16GB RAM, and an uprated battery
[05:25] <bja> (total including the $200 for the laptop)
[05:25] <theixle> wow, that's a nice upgrade
[05:25] <Anirban> I am still waiting or a answer
[05:25] <bja> but it's been my daily driver for almost two weeks now
[05:25] <ttoti> bja, nice! How is the upgrade?
[05:25] <bja> was pretty easy
[05:25] <bazhang> bja, thats out of scope for this channel
[05:25] <bja> 1 screw
[05:25] <bazhang> Anirban, answer to what
[05:26] <ttoti> I might get my hands on a Chromebook Pixel in may so hopefully there will be a port by then. I just wish ChromeOS was better
[05:26] <ttoti> Its really crippled due to the whole idea of it being on the internet
[05:26] <bja> started #chrubuntu
[05:26] <bazhang> !ot | ttoti bja
[05:26] <jiko> the only thing i hear about the pixel is people complaining about the price
[05:27] <bazhang> Anirban, he told you to run transmission-gtk from the run dialog and pin it to the launcher
[05:27] <Anirban> @bazhang : How to find the shell ?
[05:28] <bazhang> Anirban, alt f2    transmission-gtk    then right click launcher keep in launcher
[05:30] <dr_willis> the dash should bring up transmission  if you start to type it in also...
[05:30] <topper4125> any one know a terminal command to force the fan to high, then back to 'auto'?
[05:37] <Anirban> ok !!! I typed the command in the terminal and it worked
[05:38] <dr_willis> you act suprised... ;)
[05:38] <corehook> hi all! please help me, i change unity to classic gnome shell
[05:38] <corehook> and alt+tab now dont work
[05:39] <corehook> settings->keyboard->shortcuts->navigation->switch application is Alt+Tab
[05:39] <dr_willis> corehook:  what ubuntu version
[05:40] <anunnaki> corehook: are you able to edit it and change it to another key and see if that works?
[05:40] <corehook> 12.109
[05:40] <corehook> 12.10*
[05:40] <corehook> anunnaki, no, i try now.
[05:40] <corehook> changed to alt+`
[05:40] <dr_willis> see if super-tab works
[05:41] <corehook> but not work
[05:44] <rain> qqq
[05:44] <vivid> how can i set my microphone's default level? pulseaudio always sets this to some value that is nearly inaudible, every time i change it and reboot i have to change it again
[05:44] <crazyhorse> with chromium under ubuntu, does it update itself automatically or do you have to update it through apt-get?
[05:45] <rain> what's  you name?
[05:45] <dr_willis> crazyhorse:  it uses the same package manager as all other stuff
[05:45] <rain> what's  your name?
[05:45] <topper4125> if you got it through a PPA it should auto update
[05:45] <dr_willis> crazyhorse:  same for most everything you install via apt-get
[05:45] <rain> do you like ubuntu?
[05:45] <crazyhorse> ok.. the current guide i'm reading says sudo add-apt-repository ppa:a-v-shkop/chromium... to install, does that sound about right?
[05:45] <dr_willis> rain chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:46] <dr_willis> crazyhorse:  that uses apt  and a ppa..
[05:46] <rain> ppa?
[05:46] <dr_willis> crazyhorse:  why do you need the ppa version?
[05:46] <dr_willis> !ppa
[05:46] <crazyhorse> dr_willlis: i'm not sure
[05:46] <crazyhorse> i just googled ubuntu chromium install
[05:46] <dr_willis> crazyhorse:  then i suggest NOT using a ppa then
[05:47] <dr_willis> its in the default repos
[05:47] <dr_willis> !info chromium-browser
[05:47] <crazyhorse> ok txs
[05:47] <topper4125> Chrome is PPA only cuz of closed sourse blog
[05:47] <topper4125> *blob
[05:47] <dr_willis> theres google-chrome from googles ppa you might want
[05:48] <rain> 找我
[05:48] <crazyhorse> rain: 闭嘴
[05:50] <rain> 这是干什么的
[05:51] <rain> 有人搭理我吗
[05:52] <dr_willis> !english
[05:52] <rain> ok
[05:56] <rypervenche> !cn | rain
[06:02] <Reece> So I did something stupid today. I removed my default account from the sudoers file accidentally. Is there any way to reverse this WITHOUT using GRUB recovery (GRUB does not exist in ubuntu-minimal AFAIK)
[06:02] <dr_willis> err.. minimal should be  using grub2
[06:02] <dr_willis> you got a grub menu? you can get to a root shell
[06:03] <dr_willis> i just dont remember how. ;)
[06:03] <Reece> really? oh great. let me ask this though: the whole filesystem is on an SD card; can I just edit the sudoers file on my desktop linux box?
[06:03] <dr_willis> Reece:  should be able to
[06:04] <dr_willis> remember to backup the original just in case
[06:04] <Reece> fantastic. I'll try that. thanks!
[06:04] <Reece> oops
[06:04] <dr_willis> and  use root rights to alter it
[06:04] <tripelb> #
[06:04] <Anirban> @bazhang : After checking my installed list I found that I have Vuze (2 items) installed still ( I was wrong!!). Now how to launch Vuze like transmission
[06:04] <dr_willis> ive made a root shell auto start up on tty6 befor also for a experimental system ;) that broke a lot
[06:05] <makara> hi. I have about 500 torrents I want to transfer from Transmission to Deluge. How to do?
[06:05] <dr_willis> Anirban:  tried searching for vuze in the unity dash?
[06:05] <Anirban> whats unity dash ?
[06:05] <dr_willis> Anirban:  you are using ubuntu/unity?
[06:06] <Anirban> where to find it . I am a newbie
[06:06] <dr_willis> tap the super key = brings up the 'dash'
[06:06] <dr_willis> !manual | Anirban  time to read the manual i think
[06:06] <Anirban> super key ???
[06:07] <dr_willis> yes. microsoft stole the super key and renamed it the windows key
[06:07] <dr_willis> super = brings up dash. alt = brings up the hud
[06:07] <dr_willis> bbl
[06:10] <Reece> I also eviscerated my groups settings for the default user; does anyone know where I can find the groups list for the default user in ubuntu-minimal?
[06:11] <sircmpwn_> so I've got ubuntu installed, but the first time I booted up, x crashed each time I started firefox
[06:11] <sircmpwn_> and now it fails to start at all and I am working in ttys, but I have a mouse
[06:11] <sircmpwn_> it's kind of weird.
[06:11] <sircmpwn_> 12.10
[06:13] <topper4125> weird mine started doing that too today SirCmpwn_ except my machine completely shuts down...
[06:14] <sircmpwn_> "kvm: disabled by bios"
[06:14] <sircmpwn_> I might blame nouvau or however you spell it
[06:15] <sircmpwn_> let's grab those propritary drivers, shall we? How does one shut off x from the command line in 12.10?
[06:17] <topper4125> sudo service gdm stop
[06:17] <sircmpwn_> sudo service lightdm stop, actually
[06:17] <KamranMackey> is anyone actually ere
[06:17] <KamranMackey> *here
[06:19] <sircmpwn_> well, that failed pretty quick
[06:19] <sircmpwn_> how does one get rid of nouvau
[06:21] <sircmpwn_> oh, apparently nvidia drivers are included in repos
[06:24] <sircmpwn_> trying to use jockey-text per the wiki to install proprietary drivers
[06:24] <sircmpwn_> fails and says to look in the log, log says: could not find module nvidia_current
[06:24] <sircmpwn_> which is interesting, because I installed it and it shows up in jockey-text --list
[06:25] <coolroot> why i try to upgrade using the terminal it stuck at grub 2 installation why? it took so much time like i leave it for 4hrs when i get back same still there without improving :(
[06:27] <sircmpwn_> well, I got x up again, at 640x480
[06:27] <lispghost> .
[06:27] <cellofellow> what would be the proper way to clone the MBR and first two partitions (not the others) of a hard drive to another?
[06:28] <cellofellow> oh, and those first two partitions are inside a larger extended partition, which I might have to resize but that's ok.
[06:28] <sircmpwn_> except, there's no unity around it
[06:28] <sircmpwn_> let's give it a reboot
[06:32] <coolroot> why i try to upgrade using the terminal it stuck at grub 2 installation why? it took so much time like i leave it for 4hrs when i get back same still there without improving :(
[06:32]  * _goxxsy_ jutro ! :-) :D
[06:39] <LoneTrooper> hi, is it possible to change length for windows buttons with labels less than 50 pixels in Xfce? Setting XfceTasklist::max-button-length = 32 in gtkrc won't make it.
[06:43] <LoneTrooper> Does anyone knows good spreadsheet application in text mode (launched via terminal)?
[06:44] <bazhang> LoneTrooper, try apt-cache search spreadsheet

[07:04] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[07:04] <ShapeShifter499> I would like to forward a desktop session from a remote computer to a different tty (say tty6) on my local computer, how would I do that?
[07:05] <ShapeShifter499> I know the concepts of ssh -x  but I don't know how to start that on a different tty
[07:06] <dr_willis> using vino. or x11vnc would let rhem see/remote your desktop ShapeShifter499
[07:06] <dr_willis> they just run a vnc client and connect.
[07:06] <dr_willis> teamviewer could work also
[07:06] <ShapeShifter499> no its my own computers
[07:07] <dr_willis> so?
[07:07] <dr_willis> i vnc to my pc across the room...
[07:08] <ShapeShifter499> dr_willis, you know how you can start a x GUI app like gedit via "ssh -x" on another computer?   couldn't you do that with something like startx or gnome but on a different tty?
[07:08] <dr_willis> xdmcp sets you run a desktop on a remote pc and see it locally also.. but its not visible on the server
[07:09] <dr_willis> ShapeShifter499:  you can xforward a xterm rhen start a whole desktop. but it may be very laggy
[07:09] <dr_willis> you would want to setup a special minimal x session i imagine
[07:10] <coolroot> dr_willis: can i use gparted to reformat my dualboot in ubuntu 10.04?
[07:10] <dr_willis> you can use gparted to do most anything..
[07:11] <dr_willis> disk wise that is. ;)
[07:11] <dr_willis> gparted exists in 10.04 i imagine. or use a gparted live cd
[07:11] <dr_willis> so im not clear on what your actual problem is
[07:11] <Kartagis> hi
[07:11] <coolroot> but i'm not sure on which one should i reformat i got /dev/sda7 ext4 and unknown /dev/sda5 which i believed my dell recovery in win7
[07:12] <dr_willis> mount them and see what they are.
[07:12] <dr_willis> sudo blkid may give info also
[07:12] <dr_willis> i dont know what you want to do exactly
[07:13] <dr_willis> i would be SURE to make a recovery cd/dvd set  befor messing with stuff.
[07:15] <coolroot> i tried but nothing works i really do messed up my system bigtime
[07:15] <coolroot> can't use anything
[07:16] <Godel_> Hello. I need help with an ASUS N13 USB wireless adapter. I managed to install it on Ubuntu 12.10, but it is very slow. This link claims it fixes the problem, but it didn't for me. I followed it completely.
[07:16] <coolroot> i'm able to use apps if i'm booting in usb stick bootable 10.04 lucid in live mode
[07:16] <Godel_> http://superuser.com/questions/508511/slower-wireless-speed-in-ubuntu-12-04-64-bit-on-asus-usb-n13/509479#509479
[07:16] <corehook> guys, me@0day.kz:/$ sudo dmidecode -t memory|grep Maximum
[07:16] <corehook> 	Maximum Capacity: 16 GB
[07:16] <corehook> is it mean that i can put 2 modules with 8 gb ?
[07:16] <home> hola!
[07:17] <corehook> hola!
[07:19] <nn> htop seems to show process memory usage in percentage and not megabytes. Any way to change that?
[07:19] <EmLeX> Hola
[07:19] <cakeboss> Can anyone help me get opencv running in ubuntu?
[07:19] <cakeboss> erm...install it, I mean
[07:19] <cakeboss> I don't think  I did it correctly
[07:19] <pnorman> I'm trying to visualize why a particular package is wanting to install a seemingly unrelated package. I recall seeing a website that did dependency visualization, but can't remember where and can't find it. It might of been for debian, but I believe the dependencies are the same in this case
[07:19] <corehook> http://dpaste.org/y5U2Y/ here is dmidecode output for memory
[07:19] <corehook> so can i upgrade to 16gb ?
[07:20] <coolroot> dr_willis: i got a screenshot on my gparted can u try to help me on it? on which one should i  go to reformat?
[07:20] <dr_willis> corehook:  ask in #hardware perhaps
[07:20] <corehook> thx
[07:21] <dr_willis> coolroot:  mount them both and look. a normal install makes a / and a swap partition.
[07:21] <dr_willis> sudo blkid or sudo parted -l, or sudo fdisk -l may give info also
[07:21] <Godel_> Any thoughts on the wireless card? Or can you tell me where I should get help from?
[07:21] <dr_willis> if you are reinstalling you normally format your old / and swap
[07:22] <dr_willis> Godel_:  you may want to check askubuntu.com also
[07:23] <Kartagis> hi
[07:23] <Godel_> dr_willis, I did. I found the solution to installing the correct driver there. But I didn't find a useful discussion on solving the speed issue, except for the link that I sent earlier.
[07:23] <Sara_> monitor shows that im downloading with 30kb/s but I don't know what it is downloading.
[07:24] <Sara_> so confiused
[07:24] <Kartagis> I'm broadcasting using mixxx. I'm trying to listen to it with clementine but what should the protocol be?
[07:24] <Godel_> dr_willis, also somebody on a Linux Mint website is suggesting this:
[07:24] <Godel_> It turns out the N13 wasn't the problem. Apparently, channel interference with another AP was the cause of the dropouts. Changing the channel and lowering the beacon interval seems to have rectified the problem.
[07:24] <coolroot> dr_willis: postimage.org/image/ttsie8no3/
[07:24] <Godel_> But I don't understand what that means and what I can do about it.
[07:25] <coolroot> dr_willis:  paste.ubuntu.com/5572725
[07:25] <coolroot> dr_willis:  paste.ubuntu.com/5572725/
[07:25] <Sara_> system monitor shows that i am downloading with 30 kb/s but I didn't ask it dowload anything whats going on?
[07:25] <dr_willis> coolroot:  so you have 1 linux partition ext4, and 2 swap partitions for some odd reason
[07:27] <aeon-ltd> Sara_: could be anything, what are you running now?
[07:27] <coolroot> so which one should i go to reformat?
[07:27] <aeon-ltd> Sara_: irc would be a good guess :)
[07:27] <coolroot> the /dev/sda7 which is my ext4?
[07:27] <dr_willis> coolroot:  since all 3 are part of a linux install..  you format all 3
[07:28] <dr_willis> if you are reinstalling you normally format your old / and swap   <<<<
[07:28] <MorpheusChalice> Ah... can any of you tell me how do I add NTFS partitions to my Ubuntu Precise Pangolin Installation on vmware upon startup?
[07:28] <MorpheusChalice> Do I have to add anything to the fstab file?
[07:28] <MorpheusChalice> I am not really sure about the syntax that I am supposed to put into it.
[07:28] <dr_willis> MorpheusChalice:  yes
[07:28] <Sara_> aeon-Ltd: nope its not Irc and I was uploading some files using thunderbird but it should be finished by now
[07:28] <dr_willis> !ntfs-3g
[07:28] <coolroot> what about the /dev/sda5? which is unknown? but yet it was under from a linux filesystem?
[07:28] <MorpheusChalice> dr_willis, ah.... what am I supposed to put in it, though?
[07:28] <dr_willis> coolroot:  i have no crystal ball that tells me what it is...
[07:28] <aeon-ltd> Sara_: thunderbird may be checking for new mail?
[07:29] <dr_willis> coolroot:  leave it alone if you dont know
[07:29] <coolroot> ok thanx alot dr_willis  i'll go and reformat my /dev/sda7 :D
[07:29] <dr_willis> MorpheusChalice:    the ntfs-3g docs and homepage show examples
[07:30] <MorpheusChalice> All right. Thank you for telling me about it. =).
[07:30] <MorpheusChalice> I will try to see if that works.
[07:30] <aeon-ltd> Sara_: i need to leave, i'm sure others here will take a crack at your problem
[07:30] <Sara_> its IMPaeon-ltd_: Its on IMAP it should not download by itself
[07:31] <Sara_> aeon-ltd_: Its on IMAP it should not download by itself
[07:31] <Sara_> aeon-ltd_: ok
[07:31] <Sara_> aeon-ltd_:thanks anyway
[07:32] <iceroot> anyone else facing "no sound" after the latest update of libdbus-glib-1-2? seems like pulseaudio can not connect
[07:33] <Godel_> The same question is asked on AskUbuntu.com without an answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/129478/asus-n13-usb-and-n13-pci-cards-are-slow-on-12-04
[07:36] <dr_willis> might   be worth testing 12.10  and 13.04 to see if the issue is still there with them Godel_
[07:37] <dr_willis> it would seem a weird bug that affects both pci and usb cards
[07:37] <Godel_> I have 12.10 on my computer now.
[07:38] <dr_willis> i need to move up to 13.04 some weekend.. ;) i keep putting it off.
[07:39] <Godel_> Okay. I guess I will need to get a wireless device that works with Ubuntu.
[07:39] <Godel_> Do you know of anything that you have personally tried dr_willis ?
[07:39] <EarthDragon> when ubuntu 13.04 is coming?
[07:39] <dr_willis> i got several usb wifi dongles off amazon that work out of the box.
[07:39] <dr_willis> EarthDragon: 13.04 is the version and the date
[07:39] <dr_willis> 2013 4th month
[07:39] <EarthDragon> oh good to know
[07:39] <EarthDragon> thx
[07:40] <Godel_> Thanks  and good night
[07:41] <EarthDragon> hope they wont screw graphic drivers support further in 13.04 a lot of ppl have been complaining about 12.10
[07:42] <EarthDragon> and many switched to linux mint
[07:42] <dr_willis> people complain no matter what is done or not done...
[07:42] <EarthDragon> yet i managed to work xubuntu 12.10
[07:42] <dr_willis> and ive seen a lot of mint users switch back.
[07:42] <EarthDragon> lol
[07:43] <dr_willis> mint still seems unable to configure their irc clients to join the proper mint channles by default.. instead of here..
[07:43] <dr_willis> ;)
[07:43] <Fuzzles> im an ex mint user :P
[07:43] <nn> ha
[07:44] <nn> It joined the mint channels by default for me when i used it
[07:44] <EarthDragon> is that problem with pre installed irc client then?
[07:44] <dr_willis> ati and nvidia driver issues have always been a top 10 problem item.
[07:44] <dr_willis> along with flash, and wireless drivers.
[07:44] <dr_willis> the top 4 items i would say
[07:45] <EarthDragon> at least theres is the guide for ati card owners http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page
[07:45] <vsMS01> Hi. Does someone know about how to configure dnsmasq to only ask nameservers from the interface that provides the route to the default gateway?
[07:45] <EarthDragon> nvidia users have harder way i assume
[07:45] <dr_willis> EarthDragon:  and that guide might actually work for some.
[07:45] <DrManhattan> ati is bad enough in windows, nearly worthless in linux
[07:45] <dr_willis> ive had no issues with nvidia on my machines
[07:45] <EarthDragon> dr_willis - i helped me a lot to install 13.1 catalyst drivers
[07:45] <dr_willis> i dont have any 'just came out last week' hardwaree either
[07:46] <ferronica> Need Help The installation or removal of a software package failed.
[07:46] <EarthDragon> without that guide i would be hanging out with glitching outdated driver
[07:47] <nn> >Not using debian and joining #ubuntu for faster support
[07:47] <nn> LinuxMint users i shigggy diggy
[07:47] <pnorman> I'm trying to visualize why a particular package is wanting to install a seemingly unrelated package. I recall seeing a website that did dependency visualization, but can't remember where and can't find it. It might of been for debian, but I believe the dependencies are the same in this case

[07:49] <fullbuster> apa?

[07:49] <dr_willis> 117 says you got a full disk
[07:49] <ferronica> dr_willis, ok
[07:50] <walidace> dim total as integer
[07:50] <walidace> total = 0
[07:50] <wat__> someone kick walidace
[07:50] <marta> I would like to know, why i do apt-get distro upgrade command and the ubuntu dont go for the latest version of ubuntu...
[07:50] <ferronica> dr_willis, command please
[07:51] <dr_willis> ferronica:  pastebin 'df -hs 'output  i gave the command     <<<<<<<<<<<<<
[07:51] <dr_willis> df -hs
[07:51] <dr_willis>  ;)
[07:51] <ferronica> dr_willis,  df -hs df: invalid option -- 's'
[07:51] <dr_willis> marta:  there is no apt-get distro upgrade command.. what are you using
[07:52] <dr_willis> try without the s then. ;)  its du -hs   for  disk ussage.. heh
[07:52] <marta> ubuntu 12.04 i guess
[07:52] <dr_willis> df = disk free   du = disk ussage
[07:52] <wat__> -h humanreadable :)
[07:52] <dr_willis> marta:  and the command you are using is?
[07:52] <ferronica> Sorry
[07:53] <doomlord> wireless networking not showing up- how can i tell if the hardware is ok
[07:53] <marta> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:53] <dr_willis> marta:  that does not upgrade to a new release... ie:  12.04 to 12.10
[07:53] <ferronica> dr_willis, http://pastebin.com/5JKeH5V1
[07:54] <dr_willis> !upgrade | marta
[07:54] <marta> Ok thanks
[07:55] <marta> just one more question, should i change ubuntu gnome to xfce, or its better a xubuntu fresh install ?
[07:55] <EarthDragon> oh i have a question well i managed to unpack amd radeon drivers with *.run extension into 3 deb packages i installed them and it worked and what if i reinstall xubuntu can i use them once again these packages on a fresh xubuntu using "sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb"?
[07:55] <dr_willis> ferronica:  your /boot is way too tiny.
[07:55] <marta> Thanks for the help :)
[07:55] <dr_willis> ferronica:  and is filling up
[07:55] <ferronica> dr_willis, what to do now to clean up
[07:55] <EarthDragon> well it was hard to unpack that run file i had look for every required libraries
[07:55] <dr_willis> EarthDragon:  you found a guide that converted a .run to .debs  - thats handy
[07:56] <dr_willis> ferronica:  i would not have used a /boot/ that small. uninstall any old or extra kernels to free up space on  /boot/
[07:56] <EarthDragon> but dr_willis can i use these deb drivers on another fresh install or do i have to unpack run again?
[07:57] <ferronica> dr_willis, tell me command to clean all unwanted kernels
[07:57] <dr_willis> EarthDragon:  no idea
[07:57] <dr_willis> ferronica:  i dont know the exact command. because theres a lot of diffeerent kernels
[07:57] <dr_willis> i dont see why you used a seperate /boot/ in the first place.
[07:58] <dr_willis> askubuntu.com has some guides on removeing old kernels
[07:58] <EarthDragon> oh omg well i better stay with my present os then
[07:58] <ferronica> dr_willis, 3.2.0-38-generic

[07:59] <sianhulo> hey guys, does someone know a program to  search for data appended to images?
[07:59] <dr_willis> ferronica:  and that is what? the one you are using?
[07:59] <ferronica> dr_willis, yes
[08:00] <dr_willis> then i suggest you dont remove that one.. just older ones ferronica
[08:00] <dr_willis> those that end in 37 or below

[08:01] <lone_coder> hi novice ubuntu user here,, needed some help in installing vlc 2.0.4
[08:01] <dr_willis> looks like you got 2 you can remove. the 3.2  35 and 3.2 32
[08:02] <fullbuster> hi
[08:02] <EarthDragon> lone do u have ubuntu or ubuntu based opeating  system (like xubuntu)?
[08:02] <lone_coder> its only ubuntu
[08:03] <EarthDragon> thats good cos its easy to install vlc on ubuntu
[08:03] <ferronica> dr_willis, command to remove those image safely
[08:03] <ferronica> dr_willis, sudo apt-get remove ??
[08:03] <dr_willis> ferronica:  no idea..  i suggested checking the askubuntu.com guide for a reason
[08:04] <dr_willis> my /boot is 3tb in size.. ;)
[08:04] <tuxinator> hi all
[08:04] <dr_willis> !info vlc
[08:04] <PapaSierra> i just read that nginx needs to have read permissions on all folders in the hierarchy all the way up to /, does that make sense? seems a bit strange to me
[08:04] <tuxinator> dummy question, why i don't see a mount filesystem script in rc.x in ubuntu
[08:05] <dr_willis> tuxinator:  perhaps upstart handles it
[08:05] <ferronica> dr_willis, E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[08:05] <dr_willis> PapaSierra:  to access /foo/bar/folder       you need read rights to all 3  .. i belive
[08:05] <dr_willis> ferronica:  that tells us nothing withoug the command you used
[08:08] <PapaSierra> dr_willis: understood. ty
[08:09] <dr_willis> PapaSierra:  i thought foldere needed execute and read permissions however..
[08:10] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  keep it in the channel. and i suggest using the repo version of vlc, or finding a ppa if you need newer verrsions
[08:10] <lone_coder> i get error at the last step make install
[08:11] <dr_willis> you did make install or.. 'sudo make install'
[08:11] <lone_coder> sudo...
[08:11] <lone_coder> the error is: ./make-alias: Permission denied
[08:11] <lone_coder> make[2]: *** [cvlc] Error 126
[08:12] <dr_willis> perhaps that file is not executable when it should be.
[08:13] <lone_coder> any solution?
[08:13] <dr_willis> make it executable
[08:13] <lone_coder> pls explain.. new to linux
[08:13] <dr_willis> new to linux and you are compiling vlc? thats running befor you can crawl..
[08:14] <dr_willis> chmod +x foo    makes foo executable
[08:14] <lone_coder> ;)
[08:14] <dr_willis> !permissions | lone_coder  time to read up a little
[08:14] <lone_coder> thank u sire
[08:15] <dr_willis> you do realixe theres vlc ppa's so compiling is most likely pointless
[08:15] <dr_willis> !ppa
[08:19] <lone_coder> chmod: cannot access `foo': No such file or directory
[08:24] <nearst> hi ppl
[08:24] <lone_coder> Any expert ubuntu user here???
[08:24] <tuxinator> when starting my multipathed disk on iscsi gets not mounted
[08:25] <tuxinator> and i get a bootup error
[08:25] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  it dosent take an experet to tell you 'foo' is an example name
[08:25] <tuxinator> but iscsi and multipathd are started correctly because if i skip and then mount after bootup is complete it works
[08:25] <lone_coder> oh sorry,, m jst a beginner
[08:25] <lone_coder> what should be the executable name for vlc??
[08:25] <d1gital> #ubuntu, I had ubuntu installed on /dev/sda2.  Today I ran the installer and chose the "replace ubuntu" partitioning option.  Instead of overwriting /dev/sdb2, my /dev/sdb1 (/home) was formatted instead.  What's my best shot at recovering my lost data?
[08:26]  * dr_willis rambles about kids these days.. compiling vlc instead of helloworld.c, not knowing foo and bar for example names... and get off my lawn......   ;)
[08:26] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  that would be 'vlc'
[08:26] <nearst> yeah
[08:26] <nearst> ima not believe im installing w8 . lol
[08:26] <dr_willis> im amazed you actually got it compiled
[08:27] <lone_coder> Thank you,,, i just believe in taking a BIG STEP
[08:27] <morteza> Hi dear guys!
[08:27] <morteza> ;)
[08:27] <nearst> lone_coder, gj
[08:27] <lone_coder> same error
[08:27] <lone_coder> chmod: cannot access `vlc': No such file or directory
[08:28] <dr_willis> sounds like you are in either the wrong die. or the scripta/code is confused
[08:28] <nearst> locate vlc?
[08:28] <dr_willis> whats the exact command you are doing
[08:28] <T3X> how do i run a command and have it running for ever?
[08:28] <dr_willis> T3X:  what command? and define forever. ;)
[08:28] <lone_coder> sudo chmod +x vlc
[08:28] <MindSpark> T3X: you can't some day, the computer will die
[08:29] <dr_willis> no need for sudo
[08:29] <MindSpark> T3X: you can put it in the background though
[08:29] <nearst> vlc &
[08:29] <dr_willis> and what was the exact error?
[08:29] <T3X> dr_willis: ping www.google.com | while read pong; do echo "$(date): $pong"; done
[08:29] <lone_coder> chmod: cannot access `vlc': No such file or directory
[08:29] <nearst> try locate vlc
[08:30] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  and notice  it tells you whats wrong. :)
[08:30] <dr_willis> vlc is not in your current directory
[08:30] <MindSpark> T3X:  you put the command in () and a & afterwards
[08:30] <Ben64> T3X: don't ping google forever
[08:30] <lone_coder> it's in documents
[08:30] <Fuzzles_> if i install the newiest kde using backports how can i back grade if i dont like it?
[08:30] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  and your shells current working diectory is not..
[08:30] <MindSpark> another way of doing it is using screen. but you'll have to read the manual
[08:30] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  run 'pwd'
[08:31] <zloifei> hello. little question.. in BackTrack(Ubunta 10.0) I can`t find something like a "fstab" ...or other utility, which show me partitions size of each mount point(home, user, etc) ..pls, tell me how can I see this? thks
[08:31] <T3X> MindSpark: i tried that and procces killed
[08:31] <Ben64> zloifei: we don't support backtrack here
[08:31] <T3X> Ben64: google just and example i am pinging our local server
[08:31] <lone_coder> it says i am inthe vlc-2.0.4 dir
[08:31] <dr_willis> zloifei:  df -h    and sudo blkid
[08:31] <belgianguy> argh, my Ubuntu stopped booting after an update
[08:31] <nearst> !backtrack
[08:31] <MindSpark> T3X: does your process run if you execute it in foreground?
[08:31] <belgianguy> how can I force it to use VESA drivers from the root prompt?
[08:31] <MindSpark> or does it die shortly after you start it?
[08:32] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  and wheres the vlc binary at..    use ls to see if its in the current directory
[08:32] <T3X> MindSpark: yes please it rans for couple days and stop
[08:32] <zloifei> dr_willis, thanks, man! =)
[08:32] <lone_coder> yup, there's a folder called bin
[08:32] <Ben64> T3X: whats the point of pinging constantly anyway?
[08:32] <XATRIX> Hi, is there any way to control fan speed or on/off via ACPI ? Feb 28 09:13:36 HP-Compaq-nc4010 kernel: [    1.169880] ACPI: Fan [FAN] (on)
[08:33] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  most likely iys in there.. and allready executable
[08:33] <MindSpark> T3X: I am not sure, but doesn't the ping command just do a limited  number of pings?
[08:33] <MindSpark> or was that windows?
[08:33] <Ben64> MindSpark: by default its forever in linux, windows is 4
[08:33] <belgianguy> isn't there a tool that lists the available gfx drivers?
[08:33] <belgianguy> I think fglrx or X as a whole is faulty
[08:33] <lone_coder> after i cmd make install,, it runs for sometime until that error comes
[08:33] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  in 12.04- theres the jockey-gtk tool
[08:33] <d1gital> I just accidentally formatted a 1TB parition.  Am I screwed as far as getting my data back?
[08:34] <belgianguy> dr_willis: does that have a txt only variant?
[08:34] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  its failing to compile so its not there is my guess...
[08:34] <T3X> Ben64: just to audit what times our host is not reachable, then investigate whey it is down.
[08:34] <nearst> belgianguy, and quantal still not yet support with latest fglrx.
[08:34] <Ben64> d1gital: formatted from what, to what? did you do a quick format? have you put any data on after formatting?
[08:34] <iciraus> A forever ping might be usefull.. if your having some problems.. just run a ping and let terminal be open while you try to fix your connection

[08:35] <d1gital> Ben64: it was a quick format, ext4->ext4, formatted by ubuntu installer (install completed)
[08:35] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  did you make the file make-alias executable? sounds like you may have deeper issues
[08:35] <Ben64> d1gital: so you installed on it?
[08:35] <d1gital> Ben64: yes
[08:35] <lone_coder> m into this from y'day night,, pls help
[08:36] <EarthDragon> u can download property drivers from amd website and unpack run file into3 deb packages and install them
[08:36] <Ben64> d1gital: well... photorec could get some stuff off of it
[08:36] <MindSpark> Ben64:  right :)
[08:36] <MindSpark> T3X: are you sure the process dies? did you try to find it in ps or top?
[08:36] <shape> Hello, I used to run ubuntu 8.04 and I remmeber I could type a command and see which processes were  running and get their PIID (?? I forgot what it's called) but it's a number and I could use kill +  that number to end the program?
[08:36] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  we covered how to make a file executable at the start of this..  'chmod +x foo'  remember?
[08:36] <nearst> belgianguy, ikr. same like me too.. but it just nk work good unless got support in 1.13 xorg
[08:36] <d1gital> Ben64: Thanks; I'll give it a try
[08:36] <XATRIX> Hi, is there any way to control fan speed or on/off via ACPI ? Feb 28 09:13:36 HP-Compaq-nc4010 kernel: [    1.169880] ACPI: Fan [FAN] (on)
[08:36] <Ben64> shape: ps? top? htop? atop?
[08:36] <EmLeX> shape: please dont repeat questions so quick
[08:37] <EmLeX> but as ben says shape anu of those works
[08:38] <lone_coder> i have made it executable,, running make install again
[08:38] <shape> Ben64: It's not those for sure but yes, similar, it was all the running programs, like task manager in windows, and it was just one command and I could get the PID.
[08:38] <Ben64> shape: pstree?
[08:38] <dr_willis> all those were just 1 command.. ;)
[08:38] <shape> Ben64: nope :(
[08:39] <Ben64> its definitely one of those
[08:39] <dr_willis> ps ax | grep commandname
[08:39] <Ben64> i'm pulling for "ps"
[08:39] <dr_willis> ;)
[08:39] <dr_willis> ps has like 1000 options
[08:39] <T3X> MindSpark: yes it dies
[08:39] <shape> Ben64: I just tried PS and pstree and I'm running firefox for example and it doesn't appear there
[08:40] <dr_willis> ps ax | grep firefox
[08:41] <lone_coder> everything is done without error but cant find vlc in software center
[08:41] <shape> dr_willis I see, but I remember it was something simpler, that would list me all the programs. That works, but what if I don't know the name of the program to grep?
[08:41] <EmLeX> shape: ps aux |grep firefox
[08:41] <tuxinator> how to restore init scripts from a ubuntu package
[08:41] <EmLeX> shape: then run ps aux
[08:41] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  err.. if you are compiling from source.. that is NOT using the software center
[08:42] <lone_coder> now,, how to open vlc?? ;-)
[08:42] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  and vlc is in the software center.. theres no need to be messing with the source code
[08:42] <shape> emlex OMG! are those all the running processes for sure?
[08:42] <EmLeX> lone_coder: type vlc in terminal == profit
[08:42] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  did make install actually work?
[08:42] <EarthDragon> lolz
[08:42] <lone_coder> ya..;)
[08:42] <EmLeX> shape: yea if u are not jailed
[08:42] <EmLeX> then run it as root
[08:43] <EarthDragon> i want TORRENT
[08:43] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  the text should have said where it installed to..
[08:43] <Ben64> !torrent | EarthDragon
[08:43] <shape> Emlex: NICE, thanks a lot! Btw I remember the command i used to use to get the PID was something like chk or something do you know anything about that?
[08:44] <lasers> !torrents
[08:44] <lone_coder> vlc==profit dint return anything
[08:44] <EarthDragon> torrents FTW
[08:44] <EmLeX> never heard about a pid command starting with chk

[08:45] <shape> Emlex: Either way, it works and it gets me what I want and it's super simple, Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!
[08:45] <EmLeX> Thank Ben64 he did say ps before me :)
[08:45] <lone_coder> how to use pastebin,,, pls elaborate
[08:45] <dr_willis> or read the messages.. ;) it should say where its installing to...
[08:45] <Ben64> ps was one of the first things i ever learned about linux
[08:46] <dr_willis> !pastebin | lone_coder
[08:46] <EarthDragon> for someone who doesnt know about torrents https://images.encyclopediadramatica.se/9/99/Bt2.jpg
[08:46] <Ben64> EarthDragon: don't paste stuff like that here
[08:46] <EarthDragon> k
[08:46] <dr_willis> i only torrent from the neighbors open wifi. ;)
[08:46] <dr_willis> at 3 am...
[08:46] <nearst> hehe
[08:47] <shape> EmLeX: I did thank him before you :)
[08:47] <lone_coder> pastebin: command not found
[08:47] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  so install it?
[08:47] <EmLeX> oh.
[08:47] <dr_willis> its pastebinit
[08:47] <dr_willis> !info pastebinit
[08:48] <lone_coder> the make install is finished,, where to find vlc?
[08:48] <Ben64> lone_coder: you should just be able to type "vlc" and have it open now
[08:48] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  the messages say where it installed to.. could be /usr/local/ or /opt/ we dont know
[08:48] <dr_willis> if itsa in your default path you just run 'vlc']
[08:48] <EmLeX> shape: remember linux is as powerfull as u want it to be.. u can combine lots of commands to make it do exacly what u want it to do
[08:48] <EmLeX> when u get bether
[08:49] <shape> EmLeX: Yeah, That is the purpose of all this, me trying to learn Linux :)
[08:49] <Ben64> also remember "--help" and "man <command>"
[08:49] <Ben64> works on almost everything
[08:49] <lone_coder> bash: !info: event not found
[08:49] <Ben64> lone_coder: ... what are you doing
[08:49] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  becauase !command are channle bot commands....
[08:50] <dr_willis> when in the channel
[08:50] <dr_willis> and bash history commands in bash
[08:50] <lone_coder> i dnt undstand,, pls explain

[08:51] <nearst> huhu
[08:51] <EarthDragon> omg lone coder why dont u install vlc via ubuntu software center
[08:51] <Ben64> yeah what he said
[08:51] <cronus> hello, I have copied casper directory from live usb to hd. Now, when I boot from usb, it finds the casper directory on hd and boots from there. Is there a way to force it to boot from usb? thanks
[08:51] <nearst> i think umplayer is more good than vlc. have subs finder too
[08:51] <dr_willis> he wants to learn how to code.......  and cant start with hellowworld.c
[08:51] <lone_coder> it's almost done... help me guys
[08:52] <EarthDragon> nope SMplayer is better
[08:52] <lone_coder> :-D
[08:52] <Ben64> mplayer is the best
[08:52] <EarthDragon> no u
[08:52] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  we dont normally compile vlc here..  better to ask in #vlc
[08:52] <lone_coder> i knw the basics of c pogramming
[08:53] <lone_coder> in #vlc, i have to start all over again.. pls help
[08:53] <Ben64> i made a hello world program in 68 bytes
[08:54] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  i would guess vlc installed to non standard directories..  and the lib files are in some odd placd.. thats about all i know
[08:54] <EarthDragon> thats so unoptimized for such a program
[08:54] <EarthDragon> try assembler
[08:54] <Ben64> i did have it down to 44 bytes, but it isn't working on this kernel
[08:54] <Ben64> i did use asm
[08:54] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  start with 'sudo updatedb'  then 'locate libvlc.so.5'
[08:55] <lone_coder> Then, Can u guide me in studying linux deeply
[08:55] <EarthDragon> try machine code then
[08:55] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  we have been sending you urls to read all night
[08:55] <nearst> lone_coder, make clean, and proceed to apt-get installl vlc. u may love to handing compile later :P
[08:55] <dr_willis> sudo make uninstall
[08:55] <dr_willis> ;)
[08:56] <lone_coder> :-(.. 17 mb wasted
[08:56] <EarthDragon> or Ubuntu software center...
[08:56] <nearst> ya. make uninstall clean
[08:56] <nearst> usually compile binary in on /usr/local/bin ?
[08:56] <belgianguy> okay, I'm back in GUI, but X doesn't load and there's no Unity
[08:56] <burtonium> lone_coder: why bothering compiling player from source, when you can't even understand errors?
[08:56] <belgianguy> when I run startx, I get a FATAL:module fglrx not found
[08:57] <belgianguy> but I just installed that, as well as fglrx-amdcccle
[08:57] <lone_coder> i run windows on the same machine which has all the sftware.. jst wanted to learn linux
[08:57] <EarthDragon> probably u dont have required libraries lone coder to compile VLC
[08:57] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  compiling vlc is not learning linux
[08:57] <burtonium> lone_coder: you've started it wrong way
[08:57] <deo> hello guys.. need some help with my ubuntu 12.04 machine, after some sort of upgrades and reboot,,  launcher wont show up :(  i tried to open terminal using ctrl alt f1 then issued  unity --reset
[08:58] <lone_coder> ;-0
[08:58] <deo> its sayd /usr/bin/python: Permission Denied :(
[08:58] <deo> what should i do?
[08:58] <dr_willis>  id bet vlc put the libs in /usr/local/libs or somthing and he needs a sudo ldconfig
[08:58] <EarthDragon> sudo!
[08:58] <lone_coder> Thanx for everything guys,, Bye
[08:58] <burtonium> lone_coder: read, read, read a bit first? to get familiar with concept a bit, and how things actually work. You won't learn by asking on chat, about things you even don't understand
[08:59] <deo> have anyone tried to fix missing launcher in ubuntu 12.04?
[08:59] <lone_coder> cn u refer to some good resources?

[09:01] <deo> guys any ideas?
[09:02] <Ben64> hmm, someone downloaded my program on a droid
[09:02] <jony> why I can't write to USB stick in ubuntu 12.04<
[09:02] <jony> ?
[09:02] <EarthDragon> im linux beginner too and whats the point of compiling programs when u can install deb packages?
[09:02] <deo> anyone tried fixing missing launcher in ubuntu?
[09:02] <Ben64> jony: we're gonna need quite a few more details in order to help you
[09:02] <Ben64> !anyone | deo
[09:02] <deo> i give it already Ben64
[09:02] <nearst> !ask
[09:03] <jony> firstly th attached USB stick didn't showed up at all
[09:03] <Ben64> EarthDragon: sometimes you want to modify it, or have a newer version
[09:03] <EarthDragon> oh thx ben64 for info
[09:03] <deo> hello guys.. need some help with my ubuntu 12.04 machine, after some sort of upgrades and reboot,,  launcher wont show up   i tried to open terminal using ctrl alt f1 then issued  unity --reset
[09:03] <jony> after I've installed usb-mount, it shows up, but in read only mode only
[09:04] <marta> !mv
[09:04] <Ben64> jony: ubuntu by default mounts all usb drives, you shouldn't have to install usb-mount or anything like that. what version of ubuntu?
[09:04] <marta> !move files
[09:04] <Ben64> marta: ???
[09:05] <jony> 12.04
[09:05] <Ben64> jony: ubuntu? kubuntu? xubuntu? lubuntu? something else?
[09:05] <jony> ubuntu
[09:05] <marta> Sorry.... trying to move files from a folder to a folder that was root permissions only
[09:05] <Ben64> desktop version? server version?
[09:05] <SierraAR> What's the difference between all of those?
[09:05] <marta> but i can only move the folder...
[09:05] <Ben64> marta: sudo
[09:05] <jony> desktop 32 bit
[09:05] <marta> i know i do that ... but still
[09:05] <Ben64> SierraAR: desktop environment mostly
[09:06] <marta> i tryed also sudo mv -b ... mv -t ... nothing
[09:06] <Ben64> jony: does it not show up in Places in the menu?
[09:06] <SierraAR> marta: Have you tried copying them, then deleting from the original location?
[09:07] <SierraAR> Won't solve the issue of mv not working, but if that works it should be the same end result
[09:07] <marta> humm.. no i didnt. Im gonna try that :) thanks for the help
[09:08] <EarthDragon> marta: if u want to copy files without using terminal then use PCmanFM program. It allows u to copy files easy using GUI.
[09:08] <jony> it mounts in /media/usb0
[09:08] <marta> Thank you very much EarhDragon
[09:08] <EarthDragon> np
[09:09] <belgianguy> dang, now I get my login screen, but if I enter the correct password, I get a flash of white text on black and it throws me back to the login screen
[09:09] <belgianguy> can I force my system to use VESA, and make X run in "safe mode" ?
[09:09] <belgianguy> jockey-text doesn't do anything
[09:10] <belgianguy> so maybe I need to install those drivers first
[09:10] <thejollygrimreap> stepspermm
[09:10] <belgianguy> I'm working through tty2 atm
[09:10] <thejollygrimreap> stepspermm?
[09:12] <jony> how can I insert the persons noickname before writing my message here?
[09:12] <thejollygrimreap> put a :
[09:12] <thejollygrimreap> in front
[09:12] <thejollygrimreap> eg jony:
[09:12] <thejollygrimreap> jony:
[09:12] <nearst> shutdown -t 002 /g
[09:13] <SierraAR> jony: Usually, type out their username. Some IRC clients have an auto complete feature, where if you type the first few lettes of a nickname, then press 'tab', it'll finish the name
[09:13] <dr_willis> !tab
[09:14] <jony> Ben64, it mounts in /media/usb0
[09:14] <jony> SierraAR, TY!
[09:14] <Ben64> jony: yeah, well you're using usbmount, and i don't ever use that
[09:14] <SierraAR> jonathaN: Np
[09:14] <SierraAR> Jony*
[09:14] <SierraAR> (And that was me derping with autocomplete!)
[09:14] <jony> Ben64, ok, but it didn't worked at all before
[09:15] <Ben64> maybe it did and you didn't see it?
