[12:18] <nannes> Ok brotakul.  Well in my opinion unity2d lacks in all the good features that original unity can offer, being even too "spendy" in hardware resources considering what it can offer. So I would suggest you to directly switch to another DE (a light one)
[12:18] <gregor_> i like how you can search for apps in the ubunto software center
[12:18] <ikonia> Guest46150: the PPA maintainer needs to update it
[12:18] <Guest46150> ikonia: are u sure?
[12:18] <ikonia> gregor_: read https://help.ubuntu.com for an introduction to how to use ubuntu
[12:19] <nannes> ikonia: He's already asked his question
[12:19] <ikonia> Guest46150: "no such file"
[12:19] <Guest46150> so all ,my PPAs habe suddenly been outdates?
[12:19] <Guest46150> over one night`?
[12:19] <gregor_> thanks il have a look at it ikonia
[12:19] <Guest46150> it still works on my second computer
[12:19] <ikonia> Guest46150: that looks like one PPA and it's complaining about the GPG key change and a missing file,
[12:19] <Guest46150> so...
[12:20] <Guest46150> on my system, yes
[12:20] <ikonia> Guest46150: the missing file could be due to the gpg key change and it "appears" missing, which is just an invalid signature

[12:20] <Guest46150> so, how do i fix it?
[12:20] <ikonia> Guest46150: update the gpg key
[12:20] <nannes> Guest46150: Yours is a known issue. You should solve it by simply removing the PPA and re-adding it again
[12:20] <ikonia> nannes: is this a known issue with launchpad ?
[12:20] <nannes> y
[12:21] <ikonia> nannes: is there a bug for it ?
[12:21] <Guest46150> nannes: how do i remove it?

[12:23] <ikonia> hewhomust: what do you mean, doesn't update the version ?
[12:24] <ikonia> hewhomust: what is not happening that you expect to happen

[12:25] <hewhomust> ikonia, sorry well for example the ppa https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/vlc has vlc 2.07 but the vlc in the precise repo is 2.05, when I add the ppa to my system I can still only install 2.05
[12:26] <ikonia> hewhomust: that repo does not have 12.04 packages
[12:26] <azoos> Hi
[12:26] <hewhomust> I just read the ppa right then
[12:27] <ikonia> hewhomust: what ?
[12:27] <hewhomust> the ppa details
[12:27] <ikonia> hewhomust: the PPA has packages for 12.10 and 13.04

[12:40] <noregret> so i'm on precise, and the plowshare package requires curl > 7.24 and by default, 7.22 is installed, so i removed curl and installed it from source (latest), now the issue is that when i try apt-get install plowshare, it doesn't detect that curl is installed at all, is there a way to add curl to teh system as a package or soemthing like that.. any ideas ?
[12:40] <ikonia> noregret: you've made a mess
[12:41] <auronandace> !checkinstall | noregret
[12:41] <ikonia> noregret: things installed by source have the potentical to cause conflict, and will not be picked up by the package managers
[12:41] <Swii117> see in ubunto is there a command like in xp for the command line where you go net view  to view your accounts on the machine ?

[12:43] <cplx> hi guys - I have a macbook pro running ubuntu 13.04 - anyone been able to enable AHCI??
[12:43] <Swii117> what can ahci do ?
[12:44] <noregret> ikonia: well, what can I do if the package in the repo isn't up to date..
[12:44] <Guest46150> Now I'm getting this error: E:The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package aptdaemon.
[12:44] <cfhowlett> !cn|qweasd,
[12:45] <ikonia> Guest46150: again, PPA maintainer needs to tidy up his repo, clear your package manager cache, re run apt-get update and check the problem is still there
[12:45] <ikonia> noregret: depends on a few things,
[12:45] <qweasd> txu
[12:45] <Guest46150> ikonia: remnoved all ppas
[12:45] <qweasd>  /join #ubuntu-cn
[12:45] <Guest46150> so that's not the problem
[12:45] <qweasd> join #ubuntu-cn
[12:45] <ikonia> Guest46150: do what I said though, clear the cache, and re-reun apt-get update to get the current package definition files
[12:46] <qweasd> tnxu!
[12:46] <Guest46150> apt-get update doesnt leave any error
[12:46] <ikonia> Guest46150: it shouldn't leave an error
[12:46] <Guest46150> update manager does
[12:46] <ikonia> Guest46150: possible because it's trying to update packages for repos that no longer exist
[12:47] <ikonia> Guest46150: clear the cache, re-run apt-get update to make sure your cache is current, then check
[12:47] <Guest46150> how do i clear it?
[12:47] <ikonia> Guest46150: should be a cache file in /var/lib/dpkg (I think, you'll need to check that)
[12:47] <Guest46150> shall i just rm it
[12:48] <Guest46150> ?
[12:48] <joshu> imark yeah doesn't seem to work. Another option is to echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/radeon_bl0/brightness
[12:48] <ikonia> there is also a command in apt-get for cleaning the cache
[12:48] <ikonia> I've not got an ubuntu machine here to check
[12:48] <joshu> but I keep getting permission denied even with sudo
[12:48] <ikonia> joshu: shouldn't be done into sys
[12:48] <ikonia> joshu: should be the proc interface
[12:49] <joshu> ikonia how do I do it to the "proc interface"?
[12:49] <ikonia> joshu: look in /proc
[12:49] <Ampelbein> joshu: echo 5 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/class/backlight/....
[12:49] <Guest46150> ikonia: man apt-get | grep clear only founds apt-cache
[12:50] <ikonia> Guest46150: maybe read the man page, instead of grepping for key words
[12:50] <Ampelbein> Guest46150: Are you looking for "apt-get clean"?
[12:50] <Guest46150> Ampelbein: maybe
[12:51] <joshu> Ampelbein I don't have a class/backlight directories under /proc/
[12:51] <Guest46150> APT is a management system for software packages. For normal day to day

[12:51] <FloodBot1> Guest46150: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:51] <Guest46150> the man page says this, nothing else

[12:51] <ikonia> Guest46150: http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get
[12:51] <ikonia> Guest46150: man page seems to say a LOT more than that
[12:52] <Ampelbein> Guest46150: clean, not clear.
[12:52] <Guest46150> Ampelbein: no output
[12:52] <ikonia> Guest46150: read how to use things
[12:52] <ikonia> Guest46150: don't just type random things
[12:54] <joshu> ikonia no brightness under /proc/ is that odd?
[12:54] <ikonia> joshu: depends on the machine
[12:55] <joshu> ikonia so although it's available under sys I can't change it there?
[12:55] <ikonia> joshu:
[12:55] <ikonia> joshu: no
[12:55] <stiocco> buon weekend
[12:55] <Guest46150> ikonia: well, apt-get update works
[12:56] <ikonia> Guest46150: we know this, you've told me this multiple times ,it's expected to wokr
[12:56] <ikonia> wokr
[12:56] <joshu> ikonia worked with echo | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight ....
[12:56] <ikonia> work even

[12:56] <ikonia> Guest46150: I know this,
[12:57] <ikonia> Guest46150: we know the problems - we've confirmed it
[12:57] <Guest46150> and i have executed apt-get clean
[12:57] <ikonia> Guest46150: hence why I told you to clean the cache, and re-run apt-get update to get a fresh cache file
[12:57] <yannick__> hey guys, i compiled ruby via make && sudo make install and now i want to remove it. what is the best way?
[12:57] <Guest46150> i have cleaned the cache
[12:57] <ikonia> yannick__: manually remove every file it installed
[12:58] <ikonia> Guest46150: ok, so which repos is it complaining about bad index file
[12:58] <yannick__> ikonia: but that would be a messy uninstall right?
[12:58] <yannick__> ikonia: whereis ruby and then delete them?
[12:58] <ikonia> yannick__: yes, thats why people dont install things with "make install"
[12:58] <Ampelbein> Guest46150: "sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp" then apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[12:58] <Guest46150> ikonia: it doesn't say anything about ppas now
[12:58] <ikonia> yannick__: no, you need to manually remove every file/library/header the make install updates
[12:59] <ikonia> Guest46150: I didn't ask you about PPA's
[12:59] <ikonia> Guest46150: I asked which repo it was complaining about
[12:59] <Lynoure> Are there any tools in ubuntu that tag music files with their BPM?
[12:59] <yannick__> ikonia: sorry i do not understand. "the make install updates"?
[12:59] <Guest46150> ikonia: it doresn't say anything about that
[12:59] <paynemax> Hi The best client for irc is?
[12:59] <ikonia> yannick__: when you do make install it puts many files in many different location
[12:59] <rage_> Is there a list of what package versions will be in 13.10?
[12:59] <ikonia> yannick__: you need to manually remove those files
[12:59] <Guest46150> only that the index file is corrupted
[12:59] <ikonia> Guest46150: for which repo though
[12:59] <Ampelbein> yannick__: Sometimes the source contains a "make uninstall" target.
[12:59] <yannick__> ikonia: how should i know which files are affected?
[13:00] <ikonia> yannick__: this is information you should be aware of before typing "make install"
[13:00] <Ampelbein> yannick__: So, go to the source directory (where you typed make install", and type "make uninstall".
[13:00] <Guest46150> ikonia: it doesn't say that
[13:00] <Guest46150> E: The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package aptdaemon.
[13:00] <Ampelbein> Guest46150: "sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp" then apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[13:00] <Guest46150> Ampelbein: i'm trying
[13:00] <Guest46150> but failing
[13:01] <Ampelbein> Guest46150: What do you mean, failing. Does the mv command not work?
[13:02] <Guest46150> Ampelbein: yes, i can move the file and perform an update
[13:02] <Guest46150> but an upgrade is impossible
[13:02] <Guest46150> :/
[13:02] <amyassin> hey guys
[13:02] <ikonia> Guest46150: please pastbin your sources.list
[13:02] <Ampelbein> Guest46150: And you made sure that after you moved the files, the /var/lib/apt/lists directory is empty?
[13:02] <amyassin> Is there anyone has some issues with heat with Ubuntu 13.04 ??

[13:12] <CiscoNinja> hello , i have a subscription to a website that the content i would like to dump. how can i do that please which software to use?
[13:12] <Guest46150> CiscoNinja: wget
[13:12] <mumpitzel> CiscoNinja: wget
[13:12] <CiscoNinja> mainly the text
[13:12] <ikonia> CiscoNinja: it will depend how the website authenticates and how it's content is generated
[13:12] <CiscoNinja> but how would i provide my useranme and password
[13:13] <CiscoNinja> ikonia, all end with extension .cfm
[13:13] <Ampelbein> Guest46150: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.conf ?
[13:13] <ikonia> CiscoNinja: that doesn't really mean much
[13:13] <mumpitzel> CiscoNinja<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[13:13] <jrib> CiscoNinja: how do you provide it now...?
[13:13] <ikonia> Ampelbein: it's sources.list not sources.conf
[13:14] <Ampelbein> ikonia: Right.

[13:14] <savagejen> For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to access the accelerometer data on my laptop.
[13:14] <Guest46150> Ampelbein: sure
[13:14] <on5sl> anybody here who can tell what to do if i just want to share files with samba4?
[13:15] <on5sl> since i'm reading all kinds of AD DC story's..
[13:15] <th0r> savagejen: why would anyone want an accelerometer on their laptop?
[13:16] <mumpitzel> on5sl: why use samba4 in the first place?
[13:16] <savagejen> th0r, a lot of laptops have accelerometers actually
[13:16] <on5sl> mumpitzel: performance, it's allasync now and they use the newer SMB protocol which is faster
[13:17] <savagejen> th0r, some have them built in for hard drive protections like this: https://code.google.com/p/tp-smapi-dkms-module/
[13:17] <mumpitzel> there hasn't been a new SMB protocol in years, probably decade. it all uses CIFS now including samba 3.6
[13:17] <CiscoNinja> mumpitzel, when i do wget and the url i dump the page that ask for login
[13:17] <amyassin> gord_: Is the permissions are set correctly for the printer?
[13:17] <savagejen> th0r, others are used for screen rotation, primarily on the newer touch-screen ultrabooks
[13:18] <mumpitzel> CiscoNinja: I told you how to put the username and password into the url for wget
[13:18] <th0r> savagejen: really! I never gave it much thought...and would not have expected a hard drive to respond fast enough to avert a disaster <smile>
[13:18] <mumpitzel> gord_: check if you can access the printer with smbclient -L
[13:18] <savagejen> Interestingly enough: accelerometer data is also made available in browser in javascript. See http://isthisanearthquake.com/
[13:18] <mumpitzel> th0r: newer hdds often have this built in
[13:18] <mumpitzel> savagejen: what laptop is it?
[13:19] <CiscoNinja> mumpitzel, do it in the wget as option or include in the url itself
[13:19] <savagejen> I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13
[13:19] <savagejen> It uses SSDs so I doubt the accelerometer is in the hard drive.
[13:19] <CiscoNinja> 'wget --user=foo --password=bar url
[13:19] <mumpitzel> savagejen: try to use the thinkpad accelerometer software then
[13:19] <MonkeyDust> savagejen  found this in a youtube comment about accellerometer http://paste.ubuntu.com/5921681/
[13:20] <Ampelbein> Guest46150: How is that pastebin of your sources.list coming along? Just "pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[13:20] <savagejen> mumpitzel, MonkeyDust I have no HDAPS
[13:20] <Guest46150> Ampelbein: pastebinit, command not found
[13:21] <savagejen> I did know about the command line commands to change the screen orientation, but I need system level event based accelerometer data
[13:22] <savagejen> I think the yoga doesn't use the same accelerometer as the other thinkpads
[13:22] <mumpitzel> savagejen: and where do you need this data? for what purpose?
[13:22] <Ampelbein> Guest46150: Ok. What is taking you so long, mate?
[13:22] <savagejen> mumpitzel, to script automatic screen rotation :)
[13:22] <savagejen> mumpitzel, when I rotate my laptop
[13:22] <OerHeks> Ampelbein, he cannot install pastebin with these problems, let him use paste.ubuntu.com
[13:22] <Guest46150> Ampelbein: rebooting
[13:23] <Ampelbein> OerHeks: That might be, I just don't understand why it takes 10+ minutes to copy text to paste.ubuntu.com.
[13:24] <Ampelbein> OerHeks: I mean, hey, my computer is working, I just wanted to provide help.
[13:24] <ikonia> Ampelbein: I'd advise caution here, I don't trust what is going on, which is why I've abacked away from it
[13:24] <ikonia> Ampelbein: directorys that are "root - as they should be" - but didn't exist a minute ago, how can they be "as they should be" if they didn't exist and the user didn't know they where meant to exist
[13:24] <ikonia> Ampelbein: and a "reboot" to get a sources.list
[13:25] <ikonia> Ampelbein: something is missing here - I don't believe the truth is being shared
[13:25] <Ampelbein> ikonia: Yeah, it sounds a bit fishy.
[13:25] <Kai_p_IE> hi im trying to use ubuntu 12.04 via HDMI and the top seems cut off
[13:25] <savagejen> mumpitzel, oh, I see, the package doesn't automatically install
[13:25] <Ampelbein> Kai_p_IE: On your TV?

[13:26] <bittyx> hi all! i have ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, and some sound issues. when i plug my headphones into the output jack, i can hear sound just fine, but when nothing is plugged in, i can't hear anything on the built-in speakers. some research has shown that the likely culprit is the output jack itself - after some time, it malfunctions and doesn't register that nothing is plugged in, so the OS thinks something is plugged in all the time.
 i own a 15inch sharp aquos
[13:26] <Ampelbein> Kai_p_IE: Ok, what is the graphics adapter?
[13:27] <bittyx> is there any software way to active the speakers themselves, and disable the output jack altogether?
[13:27] <Ampelbein> Kai_p_IE: i.e. Nvidia or AMD or Intel?
[13:27] <bittyx> s/active/activate/

[13:27] <CiscoNinja> mumpitzel, it didn't work! so, the page i want to dump before i login the url is "https://www.site.net/members/login.cfm?hpage=LACP_Port_Modes.cfm" and after i login it is "http://www.site.net/members/LACP_Port_Modes.cfm"
[13:29] <Ampelbein> Kai_p_IE: Ok, open the catalyst control center (if you are using the proprietary drivers), then look for the overscan slider.
[13:30] <Isodoom> Hi, I have problem to install Ubuntu with wubi: errot: substring not found. :(
 i got this Sorry, the installation of this driver failed.
[13:30] <Kai_p_IE> Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> Isodoom  wubi is a windows application, it's not a real installation, better install ubuntu on its own partition, next to windows, not inside windows
[13:31] <Ampelbein> Kai_p_IE: Ok, can you put the contents of /var/log/jockey.log to paste.ubuntu.com ?
[13:32] <cfhowlett> Isodoom, why use wubi? if you want to dual boot, install a proper dual boot.  if you only want to test ubuntu, install virtualbox for windows and put ubuntu in a virtual machine
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> Isodoom  wubi will give you headaches and you will think Ubuntu is no good
[13:32] <mumpitzel> CiscoNinja: if it uses non standard login methods you need to write your own script to dump it
[13:32] <mumpitzel> then normal methods like wget won't work
 dont seem to hsve jockey
[13:34] <Isodoom> Ok, will do like this.
[13:35] <cfhowlett> Isodoom, "this" ? meaning? ...
[13:36] <Ampelbein> Kai_p_IE: open a terminal, type "jockey-gtk" . Does your graphics card come up in that list?

 3D-accelerated proprietary graphics driver for ATI cards.
[13:39] <Kai_p_IE> This driver is required to fully utilise the 3D potential of some ATI graphics cards, as well as provide 2D acceleration of newer cards.
[13:40] <jpmh> on my laptop I use "encrypted home folder" on my desktop I use encfs.  Each machine periodically syncs from a cloud store using rsync.  It seems that the overhead of encrypted home folders is HUGE, it takes 3 mins, the desktop 30 seconds.  Both machines have similar hardware specs.  Is there a performace hit with encrypted home directory
[13:40] <Ampelbein> Kai_p_IE: Yes. Is that driver activated?
[13:40] <kurtcoke> Where can I get the source code for the Amazon Integration Ubuntu spyware?
 nope
[13:40] <cfhowlett> kurtcoke, ubuntu source is available.  "spyware" is a misnomer, but feel free to examine the ubuntu code
[13:40] <Ampelbein> kurtcoke: https://code.launchpad.net/unity-lens-shopping
[13:40] <mumpitzel> kurtcoke: apt-get source <package>
[13:41] <Ampelbein> Kai_p_IE: Ok. Activate it.
 i cant
[13:41] <Ampelbein> Kai_p_IE: Ok. Exit the program, type "sudo jockey-gtk". Does it work now?`
[13:41] <kurtcoke> cfhowlett: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/ubuntu-spyware-what-to-do
[13:41] <Kai_p_IE> Sorry, the installation of this driver failed.
[13:41] <Kai_p_IE> Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log

[13:43] <joshu> anyone know how to get xbindkeys to work when startng a lightdm session, e.g. in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf I have session-setuo-script=/path/to/myscript. my script has xbindkeys &. But the keys don't work
[13:44] <Ampelbein> Kai_p_IE: Ok.
[13:44] <Ampelbein> Kai_p_IE: There should be a menu option for "additional drivers". I don't use Unity, so I don't know where to look.
 i M IN THERE
[13:45] <Kai_p_IE> sorry
[13:46] <smaug42_> Here's an interesting problem.  I've got a tablet PC with a Bluetooth keyboard.  I can connect it if I put it in pairing mode and use hidd --connect at the command line (which is hard to do without a second keyboard). I cannot pair it. They keyboard generates a PIN, and it's 50/50 I can see the PIN, and 100% fail on entering the pin.
[13:46] <lotuspsychje> smaug42_: is it running ubuntu?
[13:47] <smaug42_> lotuspsychje: yes at the moment
[13:47] <Ampelbein> Kai_p_IE: I can't help you further. Maybe restart and go into "Additional Drivers" again?
 i am there but i keep geting the same box
[13:47] <Kai_p_IE> k

[13:51] <Ampelbein> ikonia: Nope. He probably had some ubuntu derivative that isn't supported here.
[13:52] <dixoncx> Hi all.. I need to convert some music files from .ape (Monkeys Audio) to flacc. Can i use ffmpeg ? or something else?
[13:53] <dixoncx> Hi all.. I need to convert some music files from .ape (Monkeys Audio) to flac. Can i use ffmpeg ? or something else?
[13:53] <alesibaia> anyone here speak Portuguese
[13:53] <DJones> !pt | alesibaia
[13:53] <MonkeyDust> dixoncx  winff is a GUI for ffmpeg, find it in the repos
[13:53] <cfhowlett> dixoncx, ffmpeg would be the tool to try.
[13:54] <LambdaDusk> does anyone know if in avconv, is it possible to convert h264 -> libx264 without loss of quality? -c:v copy refuses to work at all
[13:55] <cfhowlett> LambdaDusk, I haven't converted those exact codes but I transcoded an HD video without degradation so ...
[13:56] <LambdaDusk> cfhowlett: I would use -c:v copy but it refuses to work, when I use -c:v libx264 it works fine... do you know which arguments to give to have maximum possible quality?
[13:56] <cfhowlett> LambdaDusk, sorry I don't know but #ubuntudio would be a good place to ask
[13:57] <dixoncx> Ok, i tried in ffmpeg, it works.. "ffmpeg -i song.ape song.flac". But will it be exact copy / same quality ? Or do i need to specify any additional options ?
[13:58] <LambdaDusk> cfhowlett: That's an empty chat
[13:58] <mumpitzel> LambdaDusk: #ubuntustudio perhaps then?
[13:58] <DJones> !studio | LambdaDusk
[13:59] <mumpitzel> dixoncx: converting lossless to lossless. just think
[13:59] <Lynoure> Ubuntu has no easy way to get BPM into music file tags?
[14:00] <Lynoure> Actually, a harder way would also do, as long as I don't have to manually click out the beat for the songs
[14:00] <lotuspsychje> Lynoure: maybe this can help?: http://askubuntu.com/questions/86113/how-can-i-detect-the-bpm-beats-per-minute-of-a-song
[14:01] <DJones> Lynoure: I don't know if its been suggested (or even if it has the capeability) but I've used Easytag in the past which seemed to have quite a lot of options
[14:02] <dixoncx> mumpitzel, Hmm, i got it...:) thanks..
[14:02] <OerHeks> there is bpm and beats per minute.
[14:04] <Lynoure> OerHeks: where?
[14:05] <Lynoure> DJones: installing that to see.
[14:05] <OerHeks> Lynoure, bpm is metadata, beats per minute you need to calculate each mp3
[14:06] <Lynoure> lotuspsychje: some of the sets of tools that were recommended downstream from there no longer existed, but some others still seem online.
[14:07] <mumpitzel> OerHeks: huh? bpm has nothing to do with the mp3 format. it is important for the music but NOT digital representation of that music. the mp3 only cares about things like frequencies, sample rates, etc
[14:07] <Lynoure> OerHeks: quite many do shorten the latter into BPM (not bpm).
[14:08] <Lynoure> OerHeks: Recommendations for the tools, too?

[14:08] <pitoow> deluge is closing by itself on my ubuntu 12.04. what can be happening?
[14:09] <randomaussie> hi all... i'm being infuriated by getting my nvidia drivers working... been trying for days... i keep getting the error "you do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. blah blah" doesnt seem to matter what i do i cant fix this.... someone please help me
[14:09] <FrankD> anyone here have experience with openswan/xl2tpd?
[14:09] <gord_> Sorry I don't even know how to reply here.  Need help with that too <|8-(
[14:09] <mumpitzel> randomaussie: what hardware? is optimus involved?
[14:10] <lotuspsychje> !tab | gord_
[14:10] <lotuspsychje> pitoow: can you try starting deluge from terminal, maybe to see an error?
[14:10] <gord_> ubottu: Thanks I needed that!
[14:11] <lotuspsychje> !nvidia | randomaussie
[14:11] <randomaussie> mumpitzel: i have an asus eeepc 1205n, usees an ion2 chipset.. i believe it does use the optimus hardware... i'v been following guides with cuda, or bumblebee drivers. and i just cant seem to get it all working
[14:11] <mumpitzel> randomaussie: it does not use optimus.
[14:12] <mumpitzel> bumblebee is wrong and so is using cuda which is not for videocard output
[14:12] <labsin> Lynoure,  you can also try `apt-cache search mp3 tag`in the therminal. It'll give all the apps in your repositorys that have mp3 and tag in the description.
[14:12] <mumpitzel> randomaussie: you will need a very old nvidia driver since you have a very old nvidia chip
[14:12] <mumpitzel> randomaussie: dpkg -l |grep nvidia
[14:12] <Lynoure> labsin: the tagging is less of a problem, detecting the beats per minute more.
[14:13] <randomaussie> mumpitzel: i'm pretty sure it does cause windows reported it as a intel chipset yet it could still do nvidia stuff
[14:14] <GiantGrubber> Hi.
[14:14] <Lynoure> DJones: Could not find BPM in easytag, though it otherwise looks pretty fine for tagging.
[14:14] <labsin> Lynource: that'll be up to the music library software then? I remember that I had many problems with getting my ratings synced in my ID3 tags. It seems that there are so many different tags for the same purpouse.
[14:15] <GiantGrubber> GRUB says can't find GRLDR, keeps the error for 15 seconds, then goes into using stage files and loads fine
[14:15] <gord_> mumpitzel:  I get the following message after smbclient -l= Printer10 "Unable to open new log file 'Printer10/log.smbclient': No such file or directory exists
[14:15] <FrankD> http://pastebin.com/SHNPWQsp <-- any ideas?
[14:15] <GiantGrubber> How do I reduce the wait from 15 seconds?
[14:16] <Lynoure> labsin: well, my files don't have that info to start with, I'm pretty sure. I don't think standard ripping does that
[14:16] <GiantGrubber> I know how to reduce the menu wait, but not the error wait
[14:16] <randomaussie> mumpitzel: paste.ubuntu.com/5921830
[14:16] <mumpitzel> gord_: that's nice but I didn't write anything about -l. -L and -l are different things, linux is case sensitive
[14:18] <gord_> mumpitzel: So the command I'm to use would be smbclient -L=Printer10 ?
[14:18] <labsin> Lynoure, so you wan't to find the bmp of your audio and put them in the tags so you can easily find good workout music or something like that?
[14:19] <mumpitzel> randomaussie: these are all drivers for current geforce cards. you have a very old geforce 9400M from 5 years ago. you need something like a nvidia 173.x or 180.x driver. NOT a 303.x version
[14:19] <mumpitzel> gord_: no. smbclient -L <ip of server>
[14:20] <mumpitzel> gord_: that's for simply checking if the printer is shared, can be seen, the password/username is right, etc
[14:20] <GiantGrubber> mumpitzel: Do you know how to make Grub show the error for a shorter time?
[14:20] <mumpitzel> GiantGrubber: what error? if there is an error it simply won't work and shows the error forever
[14:20] <GiantGrubber> can't find grldr - that is the error
[14:21] <randomaussie> mumpitzel.. ok the default repository has drivers of that erra
[14:21] <GiantGrubber> but after 15 seconds, it works finely with stagefiles
[14:21] <GiantGrubber> :O
[14:21] <mumpitzel> randomaussie: uninstall all the shit from nvidia you have installed so far first
[14:22] <mumpitzel> GiantGrubber: are you using uefi?
[14:22] <GiantGrubber> BIOS machine here, mumpitzel
[14:22] <GiantGrubber> AMI BIOS
[14:22] <jost> So, I've built this FakeRAID 1 on my machine. I've marked the Array for rebuild in the RAID management tool of the BIOS, but that was finished within some seconds. How would I trigger a real rebuild?
[14:22] <randomaussie> mumpitzel: yeah already on that... i'll get back to you after i install the drivers
[14:22] <mumpitzel> GiantGrubber: you are using grub4dos?
[14:22] <lotuspsychje> GiantGrubber: thats grub4dos loader right?
[14:23] <GiantGrubber> EXT2 HDD
[14:23] <Lynoure> labsin: yes, so that I can choose music for my dance students that slow enough for them, without listening through all.
[14:23] <mumpitzel> GiantGrubber: if so, use the ubuntu grub2. or ask for support with grub4dos folks. not us
[14:23] <mumpitzel> GiantGrubber: you answer questions no one has asked. please don't do that
[14:23] <eaxxae> anyone here running ubuntu on their macbook pro ?
[14:23] <lotuspsychje> !mac | eaxxae
[14:24] <eaxxae> ubottu: I've read those... thanks.
[14:24] <GiantGrubber> mumpitzel: The Grub1.9
[14:24] <eaxxae> lotuspsychje, read em.. ty.
[14:24] <GiantGrubber> Grub channel is of no help, and it's not g4d
[14:24] <gord_> mumpitzel: OK got it and yes it sees the printer but I get this.  Called name not present
[14:25] <mumpitzel> GiantGrubber: how did you install grub2 then?
[14:25] <CommunistChina> hey
[14:25] <GiantGrubber> It's Grub1.9-something
[14:25] <CommunistChina> is 20k turnover good for a business for 1 month
[14:25] <Bosi> Hello everyone, can anyone give me a help? I have an iPod Shuffle 4th gen and I'd like to use it on Linux... but gtkpod does not support this version... is there another software that might work with it?
[14:25] <labsin> Lynoure, you could look into bpm-tools (just found it when searching the ubuntu repository's) At least that's what the discription says. It uses the ID3v2 libs so I guess you could directly write the tags somehow.
[14:25] <DJones> CommunistChina: This is Ubuntu support
[14:25] <CommunistChina> and??
[14:25] <DJones> !ot | CommunistChina
[14:26] <GiantGrubber> well, I am trying to avoid the error, as AFTER the 15 seconds, it works just fine
[14:27] <ozzloy> i got 99 problems and bluetooth is one.
[14:27] <Pessimist> Can someone give me tips for ubuntu power management? Intel i5 cpu with hd4000 integrated graphics. The battery lasts for 3 hours max even when I reclock my cpu to 1,2GHz and lower the brightness
[14:27] <mumpitzel> GiantGrubber: grldr is part of grub4ods. so if you don't use it, you have no problem. and if you do use grub4dos you need to ask them for support, not us.... see what the problem is?
[14:27] <GiantGrubber> Yet Grub load sequence ASKS for it
[14:27] <mumpitzel> GiantGrubber: so install the ubuntu grub to your harddisk MBR and be done with it. if you then have problems, then you can get support here
[14:27] <ozzloy> my bluetooth headset isn't working.  i tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup but the instructions are old.  can someone help me troubleshoot my bluetooth headset which was working until just a few days ago?
[14:28] <dirtydaw1> hello all
[14:28] <mumpitzel> GiantGrubber: cause you have installed grub4dos some time in the past

[14:31] <jrib> dirtydaw1: it's in universe
[14:31] <dirtydaw1> ^^ flash drive
[14:32] <jrib> sharpshooter: what application?  Why do you want to reinstall ubuntu os?
[14:32] <sharpshooter> with out deleting installed applications
[14:32] <dirtydaw1> what do you mean by the universe?
[14:32] <jrib> !repos | dirtydaw1
[14:32] <dirtydaw1> ^^ tyvm
[14:33] <sharpshooter> jrib:  with out deleting installed applications
[14:33] <jrib> sharpshooter: and my second question?
[14:34] <Lynoure> labsin: I installed the bpm-tools manually, got Unable to locate package bpm-tools from trying to apt-get it.
[14:34] <labsin> Lynoure, What version of ubuntu do you have?
[14:35] <smgordon> theres a screen saver?  where does one find that ?
[14:35] <mumpitzel> smgordon: apt-cache search screesaver
[14:35] <mumpitzel> smgordon: apt-cache search screensaver  rather
[14:36] <sharpshooter> jrib:  last few days I'm having issues in my ubuntu os 13.04. after 10 - 20 min of login the os is freezing and the mouse is working but and I can also use the alt+ctrl+f1 login
[14:36] <Lynoure> labsin: raring
[14:37] <jrib> sharpshooter: start by replicating your issue on a fresh new user account.  If it persists there, change video drivers.  If it still persists, see if it happens on a live cd
[14:37] <mumpitzel> sharpshooter: so you're still getting freezes with the old kernel?
[14:37] <smgordon> mumpitzel: not sure what to do with that . terminal?
[14:38] <mumpitzel> smgordon: yes. that searches for a screensaver in the ubuntu repositories
[14:38] <sharpshooter> mumpitzel:  yeah I reinstalled the video drivers from this ppa  ppa:xorg-edgers
[14:38] <Lynoure> labsin: 13.04, that is. and both partner, universe and  multiverse repos enabled.
[14:38] <labsin> Lynoure, it seems to be only in sausy. You can try the buid for sausy. I think it'll do just fine. For AMD64: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/145499041/bpm-tools_0.3-1_amd64.deb i386: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/145498985/bpm-tools_0.3-1_i386.deb
[14:40] <Lynoure> labsin: thanks.
[14:40] <labsin> Lynoure, To be able to use it, you'd also need libsox-fmt-all. It's not required, but I needed it to be able to use mp3 files with it
[14:41] <sharpshooter> jrib:   not tried with fresh user account but tried reinstalling the drivers (not the perfect solution but now the time to freeze is around 1 or 2 hour) and also tried with  live session (dont have the freezing issue with live session)
[14:41] <linelevel> Hi guys. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. My install of postgresql became messed up, so I tried to `purge` and re-`install` it with apt-get, but the installation gives me an error: "Error: could not create default cluster. Please create it manually with  pg_createcluster 9.1 main --start"  -- But that command fails with "Error: move_conffile: required configuration file /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf does not exist"
[14:41] <linelevel> Can anyone please help?
[14:42] <mumpitzel> sharpshooter: why did you install the videodriver from a ppa on a machine with problems?
[14:42] <jrib> linelevel: did you at some point decide to delete files manually without using apt?
[14:42] <linelevel> jrib: Yes :-(   Accidentally, but carelessly.
[14:42] <jrib> linelevel: dpkg -S /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf
[14:43] <linelevel> jrib: What I deleted was actually not in /var but in /etc/postgresql/ (that entire dir tree) and /etc/postgresql-common/
[14:44] <jrib> linelevel: ok, run « dpkg -S /etc/postgresql » then
[14:44] <sharpshooter> mumpitzel:  I just found the similar issue in this post : http://askubuntu.com/questions/141606/how-to-fix-the-system-is-running-in-low-graphics-mode-error and after installing drivers from this ppa the system only freezing 1 or 2 time maximum
[14:44] <Lynoure> labsin: already got that
[14:44] <Lynoure> labsin: lynoure@lalli:~/Audio/Zouk$ find . -type f -name "*.mp3" -exec bpm-tag {} \;   and now I am quite happy
[14:45] <linelevel> jrib: dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /etc/postgresql.
[14:45] <labsin> Lynoure, I'd first try bmp-tag -f -n on a few to see if it's actually accurate.
[14:45] <jrib> linelevel: grep etc/postgresql /var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql*
[14:46] <dirtydaw1> whats bmp?
[14:47] <Lynoure> labsin: the number looks plausible, at least.
[14:47] <randomaussie> mumpitzel: ok runnnig 173 version of nvidia driveres... still having the same issue does it matter what shell i'm running?
[14:47] <Lynoure> dirtydaw1: how many beats a song has, in a minute.
[14:48] <dirtydaw1> ahh thought you was being linux related lol
[14:49] <mumpitzel> randomaussie: what issue exactly?
[14:49] <mumpitzel> randomaussie: check if your nvidia driver is loaded: lsmod |grep nvidia
[14:49] <dirtydaw1> just out of interest gents are the repositorys safe from damaging fies ie im not going to download a corrupted file / trojan/ malware? they are all trusted?
[14:50] <auronandace> dirtydaw1: the official repos are all fine
[14:50] <jrib> linelevel: any results?
[14:50] <dirtydaw1> how do you know if your d/l from a trusted source ? im very new so im sorry if this is day one qeustions
[14:50] <linelevel> jrib: http://pastebin.com/0BiUApSG
[14:51] <jrib> linelevel: alright, purge and then install again the following packages: postgresql-9.1, postgresql-client-common, postgresql-common
[14:51] <auronandace> dirtydaw1: if you are installing anything from outside the official repos thats your job to assess whether or not they are trustworthy
[14:51] <auronandace> dirtydaw1: we only support what is in the official repos here
[14:52] <jrib> linelevel: for the "install again" part you just need to install postgresql, you don't need to specify all those packages
[14:52] <dirtydaw1> agreed wasnt sure how you slect different repos though so thought by usigbn apt-get i was openign up to possible danger
[14:52] <linelevel> jrib: Okay, I've tried that before with everything other than `postgresql-client-common` -- let me try it this way.
[14:53] <linelevel> jrib: I got "dpkg: warning: while removing postgresql-common, directory '/var/lib/postgresql' not empty so not removed." -- Is that okay?
[14:53] <z8z> dirtydaw1: If you want 100% safe paranoid trusted packages upgrade those trough dvd every new bugfix release
[14:53] <jrib> linelevel: that's ok.  What's in /var/lib/postgresql now?
[14:54] <jrib> linelevel: hold off on the "install again" part
[14:54] <dirtydaw1> tyvm z8z is there ever a need to use non offical repos?
[14:55] <auronandace> dirtydaw1: if there is something you require and it isn't in the repos then its up to you
[14:55] <linelevel> jrib: http://pastebin.com/KwvRDZ5b
[14:55] <z8z> dirtydaw1: I don't do because i'm quite paranoid on that but sometimes if you know developer team you can do
[14:56] <z8z> dirtydaw1: But is up to you then
[14:56] <dirtydaw1> thankyou all very much a new endeavour this linux life so very fresh faced atm all will sink in in time anyone reccommend a good linux forum i can embedd myself with?
[14:56] <jrib> linelevel: do dpkg -S there.  If nothing gets returned, rename /var/lib/postgresql
[14:56] <z8z> dirtydaw1: There are many useful software that are not included in official just because too small and not trusted by ubuntu team
[14:57] <linelevel> jrib: Same error as earlier. I ran: sudo mv /var/lib/postgresql/ /var/lib/postgresql.bak
[14:57] <linelevel> Should I install postgresql now?
[14:57] <z8z> dirtydaw1: wondering why some other superbugged are trusted though.......  like "Krusader"
[14:58] <jrib> linelevel: alright
[14:58] <linelevel> jrib: /etc/postgresql/ still exists too, but it's empty.
[14:58] <Nickolas> I am trying to uninstall apache but when i run apt-get purge apache it says cannot remove virtual packages like apache
[14:58] <jrib> linelevel: that should be ok, but you can rename too if you'd like
[14:58] <Nickolas> how do i uninstal apache?
[14:58] <jrib> Nickolas: why do you want to uninstall it?
[14:58] <linelevel> jrib: Okay, so install time?
[14:58] <Nickolas> Need to reinstall
[14:58] <Nickolas> kinda broke it
[14:58] <jrib> Nickolas: why?
[14:59] <jrib> linelevel: yep
[14:59] <jrib> Nickolas: broke it how?
[14:59] <dirtydaw1> can you only run the apt-get command while in the /bin dir?
[14:59] <jrib> dirtydaw1: no
[14:59] <jrib> !path | dirtydaw1
[15:00] <dirtydaw1> tyvm
[15:00] <linelevel> jrib: It appears to be working. Thanks!
[15:00] <Nickolas> tried to reconfig it to for transfering files jrib
[15:00] <jrib> Nickolas: do you care about saving any old configuration?
[15:00] <jrib> linelevel: good luck ;)
[15:00] <Nickolas> jrib,  i want everything totally gone and a fresh start
[15:00] <jrib> Nickolas: sudo apt-get purge apache2.2-common; then you can install apache2 again
[15:01] <smgordon> mumpitzel: thank You .. works
[15:01] <smgordon> brb
[15:01] <Nickolas> thanks jrib
[15:03] <Nickolas> jrib, would you know the key differences between postfix and sendmail?
[15:03] <jrib> Nickolas: there different programs for the same thing, like chromium and firefox.  I'm not familiar with the subtleties
[15:04] <jrib> they're*
[15:04] <jrib> Nickolas: https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/serverguide/email-services.html there should also be guides on help.ubuntu.com/community for each
[15:04] <Nickolas> as far as i know they do exactly the same am trying to choose one, and then configure it, why i tried using sendmail things didn't go so great but it may be bc im anoob
[15:04] <Nickolas> lol
[15:05] <Nickolas> thanks ill check it out
[15:05] <jrib> Nickolas: I've always used exim
[15:05] <Nickolas> exim for mail?
[15:06] <Nickolas> jrib, would like to set up something like roundcube but not sure how to do that
[15:06] <jrib> Nickolas: I don't know what roundcube is
[15:06] <Nickolas> is like an online thingy
[15:09] <eren> clear
[15:09] <Guest65455> oops
[15:11] <smgordon> like a boomerang its coming back to me  ....
[15:13] <newuserguy> hello, i've just upgraded to13.04 and when the login screen first appeared again i clicked my main account and it only does nothing, plays the lgin sound and sends me back to the login screen
[15:14] <newuserguy> i can, however still log into guest
[15:14] <newuserguy> how do i get back into my main?
[15:15] <Nickolas> jrib, thanks so much for helping me
[15:15] <Nickolas> you have a good day
[15:15] <Nickolas> will probably be back with more noob questions
[15:15] <Nickolas> :P
[15:15] <jrib> Nickolas: bye, you too
[15:16] <newuserguy> basically locked out of my administrator account, and i know the password i have is correct.
[15:16] <jrib> !password | newuserguy
[15:18] <newuserguy> jrib: well, i have not forgotten it, it's just the password isn't working
[15:18] <jrib> newuserguy: reset the password
[15:18] <jrib> newuserguy: or explain what you mean by "isn't working"
[15:20] <newuserguy> jrib:  well, i just upgraded from 12.04 to 13.04 and the first time i saw the login screen, i tried logging into my administrator account and the screen just went black for a second then sent me back to login
[15:20] <jrib> newuserguy: that's not a password issue
[15:20] <newuserguy> jrib: right now it's set to require no login password so i just hit enter and it does the same thing
[15:20] <yeats> newuserguy: sounds like a configuration issue if the guest account works
[15:21] <newuserguy> jrib: oh... yeah im on guest currently in recovery mode...  yeats
[15:21] <yeats> newuserguy: you could try creating a new user for yourself, then moving the files back over once you're logged in
[15:21] <jrib> newuserguy: create a fresh new user in a virtual console (ctrl-alt-f2), then return to lightdm (ctrl-alt-f1) and log in there with the new user
[15:21] <newuserguy> how do i create new user in virtual console?
[15:22] <jrib> newuserguy: adduser mycoolnewuser
[15:31] <jost> Hi... I've still got some problems with my FakeRAID 1 setup. The bootloader now works correctly, and Ubuntu boots. But it does not find my disks - on the recovery console I can see that they are not available in /dev/mapper yet.
[15:32] <jost> whats the reason, and how to solve that?
[15:32] <ikonia> jost: I find it hard to believe ubuntu boots without the disks
[15:32] <ikonia> jost: please clarify
[15:34] <jost> ikonia: it boots, but gives the message "the partition to be mounted as /home is not yet available. Continue to wait, press S to Skip mounting and Press M for a recovery console"
[15:34] <ikonia> jost: any what do you press ?
[15:35] <jost> if I go into the console, the devices are not there under /dev/mapper. If I skip mounting, I get the login prompt (graphical), but can't log in on it. Using a console interface, I can log in (with / as HOME), and mount the devices without a problem
[15:36] <jost> so it seems there is something done out of order, but I can't tell what
[15:36] <ikonia> jost: is your core OS on the fakeraid ?
[15:36] <jost> ikonia: yes
[15:37] <ikonia> jost: ok, so the fakeraid is being assembled as you can boot the OS, but the home partition is not
[15:37] <jost> and just now, the devices were available in the recovery console?!
[15:37] <ikonia> jost: have you got 1 fakeraid device, or multiple ?
[15:37] <chunkyhead> does anyone know how to patch wine
[15:37] <jost> one RAID 1
[15:37] <ikonia> chunkyhead: it needs to be rebuilt
[15:37] <ikonia> jost: ok, so it sounds to me like it's not booting off fake raid
[15:37] <auronandace> chunkyhead: ask in #winehq
[15:37] <chunkyhead> so i finished downloading wine, downloaded the patch as well. now what to do
[15:38] <chunkyhead> auronandace, people not replying :( no one online i guess
[15:38] <jost> ikonia: Oh, and I have told the fake raid to rebuild
[15:38] <ikonia> jost: can you boot to recovery mode please and do "mount"
[15:38] <jost> but can't see any process indication anywhere
[15:38] <ikonia> jost: see what / is mounted from
[15:38] <jost> mom
[15:38] <ikonia> chunkyhead: wine would need to be rebuilt.
[15:38] <chunkyhead> ikonia, how do i do that
[15:38] <ikonia> chunkyhead: it's not a simple process
[15:38] <ikonia> chunkyhead: where did you get wine from ?
[15:39] <chunkyhead> ikonia, i dont remember lol. i guess i just typed sudo apt-get install winehq
[15:39] <chunkyhead> i dont remember though
[15:39] <tempted> quick question, i run a headless server that I constantly ssh into, just tired of typing 192.169... is there a way to make it so I can just type ssh tempted@media ?
[15:39] <deadweasel> Hey guys, anyone know what's up with Transmission-gt?  I did a fresh install and the software center version is virtually unresponsive.  It will come back to life every few minutes...
[15:39] <ikonia> chunkyhead: so that's going to get Wine from the ubuntu repos, you'd need to totally re-package and rebuild wine for that patch to be applied, which is not something to be undertook lightly
[15:40] <deadweasel> 12.04 lts
[15:40] <ikonia> tempted: setup an entry in your host file
[15:40] <tempted> thought so...
[15:40] <tempted> ok
[15:40] <jrib> tempted: yes!  man ssh_config.  Let me know if you have questions or want an example
[15:40] <Voi> ming
[15:40] <chunkyhead> ikonia, downloading wine tarball would be easier?
[15:40] <ikonia> chunkyhead: no
[15:40] <jost> ikonia: / is mounted from the fakeRaid (/dev/mapper/nvidia_blah1 on / type ext4,rw,errors=remount-ro is the line)
[15:40] <ikonia> chunkyhead: that would also be unwise
[15:40] <chunkyhead> ikonia, any solution?
[15:40] <tempted> can't wait to put this in, so painful
[15:40] <ikonia> jost: how can that be when you've told me /dev/mapper is empty
[15:40] <gord_> Got the printer working!  It's all in a name!
[15:41] <auronandace> chunkyhead: why do you want to patch wine?
[15:41] <Sylario> I have an empty /var/lib/dpkg, every apt-get command fails (not surprising), how can i reinstall Dpkg?
[15:41] <ikonia> Sylario: why do you want to re-install dpkg ?
[15:41] <jrib> tempted: you could also go with the hosts file route, but using ~/.ssh/config will let you do things like also setup options you always want to be set when you ssh
[15:41] <chunkyhead> auronandace, certain windows application require wine to be patched
[15:41] <Sylario> ikonia: because it seems the install folder is empty
[15:41] <jost> ikonia: its not anymore, everything is there - the system behavior seems to change over time
[15:41] <ikonia> Sylario: re-install dpkg won't change that
[15:41] <Sylario> ikonia : :/
[15:41] <ikonia> Sylario: what is the error when you use an apt-get command
[15:41] <Sylario> ikonia : what can i do?
[15:42] <auronandace> chunkyhead: are you sure that patch isn't already in the wine thats used in ubuntus repos?
[15:42] <ikonia> jost: it was probably just rebuilding
[15:42] <jost> and I can manually mount /home now, but it does not happen automatically
[15:42] <Sylario> ikonia: E: Impossible de verrouiller /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type)
[15:42] <Sylario> ikonia: status file does not exist
[15:42] <Sylario> ikonia: the folder is empty
[15:42] <Ampelbein> Sylario: In /var/backups there are saved backups of the dpkg status file
[15:42] <chunkyhead> auronandace, yea. because im getting an error. and on wine page it says you'll get this error unless it's patched
[15:43] <ikonia> Sylario: what happened to empty this ?
[15:43] <Sylario> Amandil: there is no backup folder,
[15:43] <auronandace> chunkyhead: out of curiosity whats the app?
[15:43] <Ampelbein> Sylario: What Ubuntu version are you using?
[15:43] <Sylario> ikonia: i do not know, there was a problem, i've been given access, nobody  knows what happened
[15:43] <Sylario> Ampelbein: a server version
[15:43] <chunkyhead> league of legends auronandace
[15:43] <ikonia> Sylario: please show me the output of "uname -a"
[15:44] <ikonia> Sylario: and I suggest if you do have an idea what happened you share it please.
[15:44] <Ampelbein> Sylario: ... What does "lsb_release -d" say
[15:44] <auronandace> chunkyhead: what you want to do isn't straightforward for somebody who doesn't know how to compile anything
[15:44] <spanner3003> how do i  export kernel header file on ubuntu 13.04
[15:44] <ikonia> spanner3003: export it ?
[15:44] <auronandace> chunkyhead: #winehq should help you with that
[15:44] <Sylario> Ampelbein: Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
[15:44]  * rusbear is using a I7500 running Android 2.2.1 (FRG83)
[15:45] <ikonia> Sylario: please show me the output of uname -a
[15:45] <ikonia> rusbear: please diable that script
[15:45] <tempted> think I will need an example of /etc/hosts, i put in the ip.. <IP_ADDRESS> a couple of spaces and put the name... then when I type tempted@media, nothing happens.
[15:45] <tempted> must be missing something
[15:45] <ikonia> tempted: you need to type "ssh tempted@media"
[15:45] <ikonia> tempted: you still need "ssh"
[15:45] <tempted> that's what i did
[15:45] <ikonia> tempted: pastebin your host file please.
[15:45] <tempted> sry.
[15:45] <Sylario> ikonia: Linux stagingserver 2.6.27-gandi-2777 #14 SMP Sun Jan 17 19:09:24 CET 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[15:45] <spanner3003> how do i  export header files from the kernel on ubuntu 13.04
[15:45] <ikonia> Sylario: yeah, this isn't an ubuntu build
[15:46] <ikonia> Sylario: this is a custom build someone has put together, probably from some virtual image
[15:46] <deadweasel> i just tried qtransmission also, it has the same symptoms, unrespnosive for 30+ seconds at a time....
[15:46] <spanner3003> for use in android building
[15:46] <ikonia> spanner3003: what do you mean "export them"
[15:46] <jrib> tempted: here's what my ~/.ssh/config would look like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5922112/
[15:46]  * tempted feels stupid.. wrong ip..
[15:47] <tempted> i got it.
[15:47] <tempted> thanks guys
[15:47] <tempted> such a simple thing so make my life easier..  amen to screen, ssh and irssi!
[15:47] <spanner3003> to userspace
[15:47] <Sylario> So, how can i put back what is needed in /var/lib/dpkg ?
[15:47] <ikonia> spanner3003: you're not making any sense
[15:47] <ikonia> Sylario: is this a vps ?
[15:47] <Sylario> ikonia: Yes
[15:48] <ikonia> Sylario: talk to the people who host/sell the vps to you
[15:48] <ikonia> Sylario: they should support it - it's a custom build
[15:48] <JoeSomebody> hp 530 laptop intel 950 graphics (vista basic) under kde is a video nightmare, will that work ok here?
[15:48] <Ampelbein> Sylario: http://www.solengtech.com/solengtech/opensource/howto-repair-ubuntu-dpkg-status-file You can try that script. It's the only way to get dpkg status information back.
[15:48] <Ampelbein> Sylario: Since it's not a static file but dynamically generated by dpkg upon installing/removing packages.
[15:49] <Ampelbein> Sylario: Your vps host will probably not be able to help you either since it's clearly not a kernel problem.
[15:49] <spanner3003> i need file msm_kgsl.h for my build project
[15:49] <Sylario> ikonia: infortunately they do not support it if you need to be root, you need root to install , so they do not support
[15:49] <ikonia> Ampelbein: who said it being anything about a kernel problem
[15:49] <ikonia> Ampelbein: this is a custom ubuntu build we don't know what has / has not been changed
[15:49] <ikonia> Sylario: then you need to buy support of it
[15:50] <ikonia> Sylario: this is a custom - non standard ubuntu build we don't know what's standard, what's not
[15:50] <Ampelbein> ikonia: You really think they changed how dpkg works? Like, the most basic program in any debian/ubuntu installation?
[15:50] <ikonia> Ampelbein: no, I don't think they changed that, but I have seen things changed with the package managagment system to stop packages being installed, or shared /var/lib/dpkg to make sure certain things are in place
[15:51] <Sylario> They do not sell support ...
[15:51] <ikonia> Sylario: who is the hosting provider ?
[15:51] <Sylario> Gandi
[15:52] <Ampelbein> Sylario: Again, http://www.solengtech.com/solengtech/opensource/howto-repair-ubuntu-dpkg-status-file try that script to repopulate your status file - if the information in /var/lib/dpkg/info is still intact.
[15:52] <Sylario> Ampelbein: i'm doing that
[15:53] <Sylario> Amandil: the info folder is no longer here
[15:53] <Amandil> mhmm
[15:53] <Amandil> ah
[15:53] <Ampelbein> Sylario: Then you are out of luck and need to restore from your backup.
[15:53] <Amandil> fail
[15:54] <ikonia> Sylario: https://www.gandi.net/hosting/vps/emergencyline
[15:54] <Sylario> Ampelbein: there is only backup of the website and databases, i guess it will be a fun reinstall....
[15:54] <Ampelbein> Sylario: Unless you have software depending on 10.04, you should also consider installing Ubuntu 12.04.
[15:55] <Sylario> Ampelbein: i think i'll buy another server and nuke this one
[15:55] <ikonia> Sylario: do you not think it's wise to buy from someone who offers support
[15:56] <ikonia> Sylario: and someone who doesn't do modified ubuntu builds
[15:56] <ikonia> or you'll end up in this situation again
[15:56] <Sylario> ikonia: well i use OVH
[15:56] <ikonia> ovh ?
[15:56] <Sylario> not my choice
[15:57] <mumpitzel> ikonia: ovh is a big european hoster. recently in the news for a password db hack
[15:57] <Ampelbein> ikonia: Where did you get that custom ubuntu build from btw? All I can see is a modified kernel, which is kinda required for cloud server hosting.
[15:57] <Sylario> ikonia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OVH
[15:57] <ikonia> Ampelbein: it's not required at all
[15:57] <Sylario> it's just the world biggest one
[15:57] <ikonia> Sylario: if you need to use them, why are you using gandi.net that offers no support
[15:58] <Sylario> ikonia: again, not my choice
[15:58] <ikonia> actually - I don't care
[15:58] <ikonia> up to you
[15:58] <ikonia> but we don't support the custom builds here
[15:58] <Umair> is there a package to share lcd screen over lan with other computers? I am running ubuntu on laptop.
[15:58] <Sylario> ikonia: not my server, i've been called because i did one of the website some time ago
[15:58] <Ampelbein> ikonia: If the hoster runs xen, yes, of course.
[15:58] <ikonia> Ampelbein: then it would be a xen kernel provided by the distro running xen
[15:58] <ikonia> Ampelbein: no a random custom kernel
[15:59] <mumpitzel> Umair: about a dozen different vnc servers for example
[15:59] <Umair> mumpitzel: any quick to setup and use?
[15:59] <Ampelbein> ikonia: And having a different kernel isn't having a custom ubuntu build, the userspace is most certainly never changed.
[15:59] <Ampelbein> ikonia: Or else you wouldn't be able to use the official repositories.
[16:00] <ikonia> Ampelbein: it is normally changed, hence why I said I've seen things changed with /var/lib/dpkg to lock packages, (as an example)
[16:00] <mumpitzel> Umair: vino probably
[16:00] <ikonia> Ampelbein: I've often seen custom packages installed that conflict with the ubuntu repo ones breaking compatability
[16:00] <ikonia> hence why we do'nt support the custom vps builds
[16:00] <Ampelbein> ikonia: Well, ok, I only have experience with amazon, ofh and jiffybox, so I don't know about all.
[16:00] <ikonia> Ampelbein: amazon is a good example of not using custom kernels
[16:00] <ikonia> or changing anything
[16:01] <Ampelbein> ikonia: Exactly.
[16:01] <Ampelbein> Not changing the userspace.
[16:01] <ikonia> it changes nothing
[16:01] <ikonia> hence why there is no need to change anything in these cloud builds that are appearing more often and have sloppy custom builds in
[16:02] <amal> hi
[16:03] <Ampelbein> ikonia: For amazon, we in ubuntu provide the "custom" kernels. But you can't just take the normal run-of-the-mill kernel to run an amazon instance.
[16:04] <ikonia> Ampelbein: yes, so it's official from the official repos, and compatible.
[16:04] <Ampelbein> ikonia: Well, that means that only amazon cloud services would be supported in here.
[16:04] <ikonia> Ampelbein: no it doesn't there are generic -virtual kernels in the repo
[16:05] <Ampelbein> ikonia: Can you tell me a VPS provider who changed /var/lib/dpkg ? I'd be really interested to see how they do it.
[16:05] <ikonia> Ampelbein: not off the top of my head.
[16:05] <ikonia> Ampelbein: and they just mounted a read only partition from a shared disk
[16:06] <ikonia> to stop people making changes to the package lists
[16:06] <dirtydaw1> hello all :)
[16:07] <Ampelbein> ikonia: That doesn't seem to make sense to be honest. Unless it's some weird managed server, who buys a virtual server without access to the packaging system?
[16:07] <ikonia> Ampelbein: you'd be surprised
[16:07] <tonyt> are there any ubuntu releases that install the OS with ati vid card drivers too ?
[16:07] <ikonia> tonyt: they are available, just not installed by default
[16:08] <joe> cool. I just got warty running on a VM
[16:08] <tonyt> k . ive been having a problum . every time i go to install the vid card drivers and then reboot the machine , i get a black screen and an error from the lcd im using "out of range"
[16:09] <tonyt> its like a resolution is set that is higher than what my lcd is capeable of
[16:13] <FrankD> uhh
[16:13] <FrankD> do you use VGA?
[16:14] <Voi> i got some executable  ~/j64-701/bin/jconsole and i want to start it in shell without having to cd navigate to that folder first, so by just typing jconsole into shell, how do i do that?
[16:14] <tonyt> yes vga
[16:17] <Ampelbein> !path | Voi
[16:17] <wilee-nilee> Voi, Is the jconsole part of java/
[16:17] <Voi> wilee-nilee, no, its a programming language called J
[16:18] <wilee-nilee> Voi, Ah, I don't know code, and it brings up a java access here from synapse, just checking,
[16:18] <Voi> yea theres a java "jconsole" thingy too :P
[16:19] <Voi> thx ampelbein
[16:21] <Guest67353> .
[16:21] <Voi> Ampelbein, that means i have to add the folder with my executable to the PATH?
[16:21] <Ampelbein> Voi: Yes
[16:23] <Voi> ITS MAGIC! it worked thanks :3

[16:26] <shu_> the indicator-multiload only shows the disk read / write accesses...
[16:26] <deadweasel> it was working fine before I hosed my system and did a fresh
[16:26] <deadweasel> of course, this time I am using the XORG ati drivers, not proprietary.....
[16:26] <shu_> Having searched for half an hour... couldn't find anything  for such a so simple task???
[16:26] <deadweasel> that could be it.
[16:27] <deadweasel> ^ wilee-nilee , I think that could be it.   Pre-emptively, the answer to the request is almost always no.
[16:33] <Myrtti> amal: this, or any other channel.
[16:33] <shu_> oh, so How can I display the free disk space of a partition (ex. 13GB free) in the system tray of a normal Ubuntu 13.04 ?
[16:33] <shu_> It shouldn't be too difficult, right?
[16:34] <Guest30461> anybody there? i need help
[16:34] <amal> okay Myritti
[16:34] <amal> I was just experimenting with IRC bots
[16:35] <wilee-nilee> shu_, I can't find the link for a bunch of applets but I believe it was on a webud8 page, you might find it.
[16:35] <htpc_> what's needed to get SDL application running
[16:36] <wilee-nilee> Guest30461, You get help if you stste your issue to the channel and someone knows.
[16:36] <wilee-nilee> stste*
[16:36] <wilee-nilee> state* doh
[16:36] <shu_> wille-nilee, I did find several pages with bunch of applets for system tray, but none of them is for showing disk space of a partition!!!
[16:36] <Guest30461> I installed ubuntu but after installation when i boot ftom hard disk, it boots alright, but after booting, ubuntu doesnt rub properly, there are only two options under the power button on the top right corner, where the settings button should be, i cannot start terminal or any other component of ubuntu
[16:36] <wilee-nilee> shu_, You could use a conky maybe.
[16:36] <Guest30461> can anyone tell me whats wrong and how i can rectify it?
[16:37] <shu_> wille-nilee, thanks... that could be a plan-B... if I really cannot find any...
[16:38] <wilee-nilee> shu_, I think there is something I just use the shell is all, so I forget what the options may be.
[16:39] <Guest30461> I installed ubuntu but after installation when i boot from hard disk, it boots alright, but after booting, ubuntu doesn't run properly, there are only two options under the power button on the top right corner, where the settings button should be, i cannot start terminal or any other component of ubuntu
[16:39] <shu_> wille-nilee, OR how can I write the shell cmd in the system tray?
[16:39] <shu_> wille-nilee, because this command can give me what I want: df -H /dev/sda6 | grep -vE '^Filesystem' | awk '{ print $4 }'
[16:40] <wilee-nilee> Guest30461, We would need more details in general, what release, what desktop, maybe an image would help at least to start with. Beyond that have you checked if you have the correct graphic driver and if one is available in additional drivers.
[16:40] <dirtydaw1> hello all quick question where will i be required to use xterm in lue of terminal?
[16:40] <wilee-nilee> shu_, I know no code, so can't help there.
[16:41] <joshu> need some help install a brother's printer according to these instructions from Brother http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_prn1a.html#cwi_img1
[16:41] <deadweasel> wilee-nilee, as I test things out, I believe this is directly related to XORG versus proprietary drivers.  I'm going to attempt to switch back, although this is what messed up my system so bad I had to nuke it.
[16:41] <Guest30461> Its ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS 64-bit, on an AMD Bulldozer processor
[16:41] <joshu> In step 2 there are two pre-requisites before installing the drivers. http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/before.html#004 and http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/before.html#002

[16:44] <Guest30461>  Its ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS 64-bit, on an AMD Bulldozer processor
[16:44] <Guest30461>  How do i check for graphic drivers
[16:44] <Guest30461>  I installed using a USB drive
[16:44] <Guest30461>  After installation when i booted from the hard disk, there is simply no settings button on the top right corner as there is in the demo mode, instead there is a power button, with only two options under it, "suspend" and "shut down"
[16:44] <Guest30461>  Pressing Ctrl+Alt+T doesnt bring up the terminal
[16:44] <FloodBot1> Guest30461: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:44] <Guest30461>  Don't know how to go about it
[16:45] <joshu> wilee-nilee I'm following the instructions provided by Brother and just wanted to ask about the two pre-requsities which are to execute sudo aa-complain cupsd and sudo mkdir /usr/share/cups/model" and then for 64bit ubuntu install ia32-libs or lib32stdc++
[16:45] <Guest30461> I installed using a USB drive
[16:45] <Guest30461> After installation when i booted from the hard disk, there is simply no settings button on the top right corner as there is in the demo mode, instead there is a power button, with only two options under it, "suspend" and "shut down"
[16:46] <Guest30461>  Pressing Ctrl+Alt+T doesnt bring up the terminal
[16:46] <Guest30461> Please help
[16:46] <wilee-nilee> Guest30461, Be careful to not use enter as punctuation, go to the ubuntu software center-edit-software sources and far right tab is additional drivers
[16:46] <bazhang> !helpme | Guest30461
[16:46] <bekks> Guest30461: Its ctrl+shift+T isnt it?
[16:47] <wilee-nilee> joshu, Right but did you check if ubuntu has a driver already in the printer app?
[16:47] <wilee-nilee> ctrl-alt-t
[16:47] <joshu> wilee-nilee no I have not as I'm doing this on an ubuntu install without a GUI
[16:48] <wilee-nilee> joshu, Ah, can't help there myself.
[16:48] <Guest30461> Went to ubuntu software center-edit-software sources. Far right is statistics
[16:49] <wilee-nilee> Guest30461, Do you see additional drivers in software sources at all?
[16:49] <Guest30461> Of course, this is in the Demo version running from the USB, can't open software centre from the installed version of ubuntu
[16:50] <Guest30461> It has a tab called "other softwares", but thats all
[16:50] <wilee-nilee> Guest30461, " I installed using a USB drive" looks like an actual install
[16:51] <Guest30461> " " I installed using a USB drive" looks like an actual install" Didnt understand you
[16:51] <wilee-nilee> Guest30461, Check the sum on the loading iso to begin with
[16:51] <dirtydaw1> hello all quick question where will i be required to use xterm in lue of terminal?
[16:51] <joshu> so installing ia32-libs is fine on ubuntu 64bit?
[16:51] <Guest30461> Sum on the loading iso? what do you mean by sum?
[16:52] <wilee-nilee> Guest30461, You said you installed now you say it is a usb that is a demo what is it, and what is a demo; the live cd?
[16:52] <Random832> dirtydaw1: what do you mean
[16:52] <syntroPi> Guest30461, look for last tab in software & updates (where you can enable repos and such=
[16:52] <wilee-nilee> !md5sum | Guest30461
[16:53] <dirtydaw1> well they look overly similar but im nto sure what its use is for me and wether i should be using terminal or xterm
[16:53] <deadweasel> wilee-nilee: It was the video drivers.  Proprietary are where it's at.  UI delays are rampant in the ubuntu supported stuff.  Thanks for lettting me bounce ideas off you!  o/
[16:53] <Guest30461> Didnt use a LIVE CD, used a LIVE USB to install it, but when I run the installed version, it doesnt work, so right now using the LIVE version from the USB
[16:53] <uvala> hello everyone! is there a FOSS alternative to bookmark sharing widgets like sharethis, addthis etc..? (hope this straying from support-themes to be pardonable!)
[16:53] <Random832> oh you mean the gnome terminal or xterm
[16:53] <dirtydaw1> correct
[16:53] <syntroPi> Guest30461, should be fine from live usb too, did that many times
[16:53] <Random832> i don't know - some people like xterm better so it is installed by default
[16:54] <dirtydaw1> extrafeatures?
[16:54] <wilee-nilee> Guest30461, Can't help sorry.
[16:54] <deadweasel> wilee-nilee: cancel that, it's back.
[16:55] <syntroPi> Guest30461, what exactly is your problem with the installation or the live usb?
[16:56] <Guest30461> I installed using a USB drive
[16:56] <Guest30461>  After installation when i booted from the hard disk, there is simply no settings button on the top right corner as there is in the demo mode, instead there is a power button, with only two options under it, "suspend" and "shut down"
[16:56] <dirtydaw1> you in guest account?
[16:57] <Guest30461> The problem is in the installed version
[16:57] <syntroPi> Guest30461, hmm cant you just type "settings" in the lens, cinnamon menu or gnome3 search?
[16:57] <syntroPi> choose system settings then
[16:58] <Guest30461> There is no lens or cinnamon menu or gnome search
[16:58] <Guest30461> I can only see the background, with the top right power button, the system clock and accessibilty options
[17:01] <syntroPi> Guest30461, hmm which gfx card do you have in there?
[17:01] <Guest30461> Its the onboard AMD grafix card
[17:01] <dirtydaw1> is notepadd++ in the offical repos as i tried to apt-get it and failed through not bwing able t find it??
[17:01] <parapan> hi fellows, using 12.4 on a dell laptop and the SD reader doesn't work anymore . . . what should I do ?
[17:02] <bekks> dirtydaw1: What was the entire command and output of "I tried to apt-get it"?
[17:02] <r000> Can someone tell me how to set nautilus as standard-filemanager in xubuntu?
[17:02] <dirtydaw1> "sudo apt-get install notepad++"
[17:03] <bekks> dirtydaw1: And what was the entire output? Use a pastebin please.
[17:03] <syntroPi> Guest30461, ooh actually im not quite familiar with AMD/ATI gfx card, but maybe you just have to install the right driver on terminal via "sudo apt-get -y install <whatever_driver_suits_your_card>"
[17:03] <wilee-nilee> parapan, I had this problem on an acer, had to upgrade the bios, however you might look on the web with that model and that problem to see if this is common.
[17:03] <wilee-nilee> while you wait that is
[17:04] <parapan> wilee-nilee: today it was working, rebooted the laptop, now it-s not working anymore
[17:04] <dirtydaw1> "[sudo] password for dirtydawg:

[17:04] <syntroPi> Guest30461, also you could choose the fallback mode in lightdm login manager when you clock on the wheel in right corner of the login prompt
[17:04] <bekks> dirtydaw1: Use a pastebin. Not this channel.
[17:04] <bekks> !pastebinit | dirtydaw1
[17:04] <dirtydaw1> no idea whata paste bin was my bad all :(
[17:04] <wilee-nilee> parapan, gotta start and stop at some point, do you get my point?
[17:05] <syntroPi> Guest30461, then you should be able to launch the system settings gui
[17:06] <wilee-nilee> parapan, Might be the ssd card have you checked it on another computer?
[17:06] <parapan> wilee-nilee: not quite ..it was working fine in 10. and after that .....foar at least 5 years ....I didn't done any upgrade or sys administration ....it simply stopped working
[17:08] <wilee-nilee> parapan, Right might be the card, and there may be a common problem with this reader easily found on the web, you have to do some research. Start with seeing if the card works elsewhere if you can.
[17:08] <wilee-nilee> a history of working is a history of working not really related here except it did work.
[17:08] <Dr_willis> :) make sure the thing actually works somewhere.. befor fighting/spending time looking for a software bug - is always a good idea.
[17:10] <dirtydaw1> tyvm all for your time see you laters logging for now :)
[17:10] <parapan> wilee-nilee: just did the check it's working fine with a card reader on a 10.04 system; ...and it';s working also on th smartphone ...so it's not the card
[17:11] <wilee-nilee> parapan, Cool, may be the hardware, hard to say really at least for me.

[17:15] <Guest10397> hi everyone
[17:15] <Guest10397> i need some help on ubuntu studio
[17:16] <abady> hi 2
[17:16] <Dr_willis> Give us details as to the exact ubuntu issue Guest10397  - and youmay want to change nicks.
[17:18] <asteve> I have a netbook on 10.10 that I would like to upgrade to 12.04 or something newer if possible
[17:18] <asteve> it appears that my only recourse was to upgrade to 11.04 which is now EOL
[17:18] <bazhang> !eolupgrades | asteve
[17:18] <bekks> asteve: Then you have to go through 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 to get a supported version. I'd just reinstall 12.05
[17:18] <bekks> 12.04
[17:20] <asteve> reinstalling will be difficult because I don't have a flash drive nor a burner that I can use
[17:20] <asteve> and the netbook doesn't have a cdrom
[17:20] <Guest10397> hi everyone
[17:20] <Guest10397> i need some help on ubuntu studio
[17:20] <asteve> I can't upgrade to 11.10 because that is EOL as well
[17:20] <asteve> I was hoping to go 10.10 -> 12.04
[17:20] <bazhang> !details | Guest10397
[17:20] <bekks> asteve: Then please read the links given above.
[17:21] <wilee-nilee> asteve, Not possible, a cd or usb of ubuntu is about your best tool as well.
[17:21] <Guest10397> I can't connet my oxygen 8 midi keyboard to ububtu studio 12.04
[17:21] <bazhang> Guest10397, just repeating that without a great many details wont get any support
[17:21] <Guest10397> it does not apeear on jack
[17:21] <wilee-nilee> asteve, YOu can download 12.04 and boot it from grub. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot
[17:22] <Guest10397> I installed ubuntu studio yesterday. been testing it. connected my guitar to an input port and it worked fine. then i tried to conned my oxygen 8 midi keyboard and i cant get to see it on qjacck
[17:23] <gregor_> dose anyone know why the writing is invisable on the webrowser on ubuntu is there a seeting  i can change that to normal ?
[17:23] <wilee-nilee> asteve, The bits message on eolupgrades also tells you how to upgrade from where you are at, it is a specific process.
[17:23] <wilee-nilee> bots*
[17:24] <Guest10397> I installed ubuntu studio yesterday. been testing it. connected my guitar to an input port and it worked fine. then i tried to conned my oxygen 8 midi keyboard and i cant get to see it on qjacck
[17:24] <asteve> ya, I'm reading it now; thanks
[17:24] <wilee-nilee> gregor_, Have you changes your themes, what leads you to this problem?
[17:24] <htpc_> What does .Xauthority do?
[17:24] <asteve> I had to install aptitude
[17:24] <wilee-nilee> asteve, Cool.
[17:24] <asteve> heh
[17:24] <Guest10397> can anyone give my some pointers on this?
[17:25] <gregor_> oh i have but in a diffrent theme im trying to change the font color is it possible ?
[17:25] <Guest10397> I installed ubuntu studio yesterday. been testing it. connected my guitar to an input port and it worked fine. then i tried to conned my oxygen 8 midi keyboard and i cant get to see it on qjacck
[17:25] <wilee-nilee> gregor_, This firefox?
[17:26] <gregor_> yeah firefox the default web browser for ubuntu
[17:26] <raven_> xubuntu 12.04 + Terratec Tstick+: tutorial ttp://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec_Cinergy_T_Stick%2B       build failed at line 454 - any ideas?
[17:26] <gregor_> il try changing my theme and see dose anything happen
[17:26] <wilee-nilee> gregor_, YOU might ask at #firefox as well since it is self contained unless you switch that off in general.
[17:26] <DJones> Guest10397: I've not used Ubuntu studio or the hardware so I can't help with the problem, however you may find some support in #ubuntustudio
[17:26] <gregor_> il give it a try brb
[17:28] <Dr_willis> gregor_,  firefox has some font extensions that change its gui fonts and colors and sizes.  Unless you mean the colors of the fonts IN the web pages
[17:28] <gregor_> yup my writing is back agen i changed the theme and it made my writing insviable so i changed to another and now its working agen
[17:29] <Dr_willis> white text on white background - can be annoying.
[17:29] <Dr_willis> htpc_,  its a X security type file.  some times it gets confused and owned by root,
[17:30] <gregor_> is there a way to have diffrent font color on firefox ?
[17:30] <gregor_> like not the usual boring black one ?
[17:31] <htpc_> Dr_willis: For a mythbuntu install, is there any danger to give it 644 perms?
[17:31] <Dr_willis> htpc_,  you shouldent need to mess with it at all.. if it gets goofed up.. delete it and relog back in
[17:32] <Dr_willis> gregor_,  theres firefox extensions to tweak the GUI fonts firefox uses. Not sure about the fonts for in the web pages. often the pages can override any colors like that.
[17:32] <gregor_> thanks il give it a try
[17:33] <htpc_> Dr_willis: it's owned by me, but mythtv runs as a mythtv user. It needs to run fceux and that needed to read my .Xuthority. It only had 600 though
[17:35] <asteve> should I reboot the machine after installing the kernel updates and prior to running do-release-upgrade?
[17:36] <Dr_willis> htpc_,  somthing seems odd with the whole setup. Ive ran mythtv befor and never had to mess with it.
[17:36] <Dr_willis> htpc_,  there is the #mythbuntu channel
[17:37] <spycrab0> I'm  trying to install my Broadcom WLAN-Drivers via jockey on Ubuntu 13.04(I'm using an HP 625) but it fails /var/log/jockey.log contains this line multiple times "2013-07-28 19:28:07,534 DEBUG: BroadcomWLHandler enabled(): kmod disabled, bcm43xx: blacklisted, b43: blacklisted, b43legacy: blacklisted" What am i doing wrong?
[17:42] <Dr_willis> broadcom uses several differnt drivers, blacklisting means the driver/module is 'not going to be loaded'  - seems like allof them are blacklisted?
[17:42] <Dr_willis> You may want to check askubuntu.com for your specific broadcom chipset as to what driver its supposed to beusing
[17:43] <spycrab0> the crazy thing is to make sure wlan works on ubuntu i ran ubuntu from an livecd and wlan worked!
[17:43] <wilee-nilee> spycrab0, Sounds like you have looked at the broadcom wiki, am I right?
[17:44] <raven_> xubuntu 12.04 + Terratec Tstick+: tutorial ttp://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec_Cinergy_T_Stick%2B       build failed at line 454 - any ideas?
[17:44] <Dr_willis> spycrab0,  use the live cd, and see what module its using
[17:44] <tle> I can't seem to compile gtk+3.0 programs. I have libgtk-3-dev installed but gcc still can't find the headers. Am I missing a step?
[17:44] <ripthejacker> hi everyone need help with AMD Radeon HD6450 Gpu , with open source radeon drivers
[17:44] <spycrab0> how can i grep the modules related to wlan?
[17:44] <trism> tle: can you pastebin the failing output?
[17:45] <Dr_willis> tle,  often i use the 'build-deps' option to apt-get to pull in all needed packages to compile a specific app.  'sudo apt-get build-deps some-gtk3-app'   Should have the system pull in any needed dev packages that the app would need. You might have missed one or more.

[17:45] <Dr_willis> spycrab0,  lsmod shows loaded modules. compare the working and non working systems lsmod outputs
[17:45] <wilee-nilee> ripthejacker, Here is some askubuntu threads to ponder while you wait. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=HD6450

[17:46] <tle> trism, http://pastebin.com/c7vsiDvP
[17:46] <tle> Dr_willis, yeah this is for a hello world program from source though, not a pre-packed program
[17:47] <Dr_willis> tle,  pull in the dev packages for any other gtk3 app and it should install most of the needed dev packages.
[17:47] <MichaelP> is there anything better then virtualbox to load windows in ?
[17:47] <yalex> hi how can i make file permissions inherit on a cifs share?
[17:47] <trism> tle: you have to put the -llibrary lines at the end, so this will work: gcc -o base.app base.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0)
[17:47] <Dr_willis> MichaelC|Percona,  vbox or vmware. are the normal ways
[17:47] <yalex> permissions are always group read when i need them to be group read+write.  It works for directories just not files
[17:47] <MichaelP> Dr_willis: what one is better ?
[17:48] <wilee-nilee> MichaelP, The one that serves your needs.
[17:48] <tle> trism, yeah that did it
[17:48] <tle> thanks
[17:48] <Dr_willis> try themboth. you decide. i dont use vmware at all.
[17:49] <ripthejacker> wilee-nilee: none of the threads is related to the issue i am having
[17:49] <wilee-nilee> MichaelP, You setup the guest additions in vbox and gave it enough ram...etc
[17:49] <MichaelP> I need windows but don't want to do boot just for photoshop.. gimp has a crapy cloning tool
[17:50] <pvl1> if i want to permanently remove a module, do i remove with modprobe and delete the corressponding file?
[17:50] <ripthejacker> the display is all broken when I use open source radeon driver
[17:50] <bekks> MichaelP: Then setup a virtual machine.
[17:50] <ripthejacker> https://copy.com/LEWLGhDK0stR
[17:50] <holstein> MichaelP: you can always ask for a native photoshop from the creator
[17:50] <ripthejacker> this is how it looks

[17:50] <wilee-nilee> ripthejacker, Cool I have not had to mess with graphics so not the best help. If you can be detailed as to what the problem is it will help. Have you looked in additional drivers to see if any are available?
[17:50] <ripthejacker> ans also x is too slow
[17:51] <Dr_willis> pvl1,  best to just blacklist the module
[17:51] <MichaelP> Already tried wine with photoshop CS5 wont install
[17:51] <wilee-nilee> !imagebin | ripthejacker This is easier to see
[17:51] <ripthejacker> wilee-nilee: the driver section says that my card has 3d acceleration support with radeon drivers
[17:52] <wilee-nilee> no one is going to download stuff
[17:52] <pvl1> Dr_willis: im trying to make a small live usb, so im customizing a livecd
[17:52] <holstein> MichaelP: it might not, if the vendor dosnt provide wine support.. wine is a bit of a "hack" sometimes..
[17:53] <wilee-nilee> MichaelP, I believe earlier versions run
[17:53] <wilee-nilee> cs3 or something I recall
[17:53] <holstein> MichaelP: wineHQ is where to go if you want more information.. i did install an older version
[17:53] <ripthejacker> http://imagebin.org/265821
[17:54] <MichaelP> holstein: yeah.. i use facebook video call as well.. facebook don't suport likux yet.. so i tryed windows firefox in wine. had no webcam...
[17:54] <medoo2001> hi , i have a laptop with windows 8 built in os , i want to install ubuntu 13.04 along side windows 8 how i could?
[17:54] <ripthejacker> wilee-nilee: the card has 3d acceleration support but the opengl renderer string is showing galium on llvmpipe
[17:54] <wilee-nilee> !uefi | medoo2001
[17:55] <yalex> Directories are inheriting permissions on  a cifs share but files are not how do I fix this?
[17:55] <wilee-nilee> ripthejacker, I see, not an area I can help in with confidence is all, all  could do is google for info. ;)
[17:55] <MichaelP> Sucks when there is still few things windows is needed for
[17:55] <wilee-nilee> I*
[17:56] <medoo2001> wilee-nilee , is there any easy alternative?
[17:56] <wilee-nilee> MichaelP, I don't bother with wine I dual boot it, seems like the best use.
[17:56] <ripthejacker> wilee-nilee: do you know where I can get help
[17:56] <ripthejacker> wilee-nilee: amd channel?
[17:56] <medoo2001> wilee-nilee , is there any easy alternative?
[17:56] <medoo2001> wilee-nilee , is there any easy alternative?
[17:57] <wilee-nilee> medoo2001, A virtual machine is the easiest, otherwise that is a bit of a challenge.
[17:57] <bekks> ripthejacker: Using gallium, the only thing that is helpfuk is changing the hardware. That chipsets arent capable of much more than the driver already implemented.
[17:57] <bekks> *
[17:57] <bekks> *helpful even.
[17:57] <ripthejacker> bekks: but the documentation says that my card has 3d acceleration support
[17:57] <ripthejacker> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[17:58] <medoo2001> i  can't make vm , i need ubuntu for wirless secuitry so my card is integrated
[17:58] <ripthejacker> my driver is listed in the CAICOS row
[17:58] <medoo2001> does wubi works in win8?
[17:58] <bekks> medoo2001: There is no wubi anymore. So the answer is "no".
[17:59] <bekks> medoo2001: You should use a dualboot instead.
[17:59] <pvl1> can you install ubuiqity from the market and just install ubuntu on other drives from an install?
[17:59] <wilee-nilee> medoo2001, The uefi wiki is where you would start, there is a good thread at the ubuntu that will be there when back on line this is the url. Save this link. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295
[17:59] <pcbryan> Hi
[18:00] <heinz> hi, anyone here  who can help me with my webcamproblems?
[18:00] <medoo2001> wilee-nilee : any website that i can check that i have uefi?
[18:00] <wilee-nilee> medoo2001, READ THE WIKI.
[18:00] <heinz> ok, by
[18:00] <medoo2001> Ubuntu Forums is down for maintenance
[18:00] <ripthejacker> bekks, wilee-nilee: will using latest kernel version solve my issue in any way?
[18:01] <pcbryan> medoo2001: planned maintenance?
[18:01] <bekks> ripthejacker: No. A new kernel will not change your hardware.
[18:01] <wilee-nilee> medoo2001, If this is a oem you have uefi.
[18:01] <medoo2001> There has been a security breach on the Ubuntu Forums. The Canonical IS team is working hard as we speak to restore normal operations. This page will be updated with progress reports.
[18:01] <pcbryan> ic
[18:01] <pvl1> medoo2001: the forums are not the wiki
[18:01] <ripthejacker> bekks: did you check out the link i shared?
[18:01] <ripthejacker> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[18:01] <ripthejacker> my card is listed in the supported section
[18:01] <bekks> ripthejacker: Yes I did. But that wont affect what I told you.
[18:02] <wilee-nilee> medoo2001, Right I metioned that are you taking the time to read what is posted to you and the links and critically thinking?
[18:02] <ripthejacker> bekks: because 3d acceleration works fine with proprietary drivers
[18:03] <bekks> ripthejacker: Then use them. The FOSS drivers dont implement more than you have currently.
[18:03] <medoo2001> is this video is right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LokDqte3sA4 ?
[18:03] <wilee-nilee> ripthejacker, You can use the proprietary drivers however they generally do not follow kernel updates and upgrades so be prepared.
[18:03] <bekks> medoo2001: Whats your actual support question?
[18:04] <ripthejacker> bekks: but they are not recommended , right
[18:04] <wilee-nilee> correct ripthejacker
[18:04] <ripthejacker> wilee-nilee: yes every time I have to install the drivers after a kernel update
[18:05] <ripthejacker> that's one of the reason I want to use the foss drivers
[18:05] <wilee-nilee> ripthejacker, most graphic drivers have to be reversed engineered, they are rarely written for linux so that is the conundrum
[18:05] <mumpitzel> ripthejacker: if you use the proprietary drivers properly, they will update automatically everytime you install a new kernel
[18:06] <wilee-nilee> mumpitzel, Than why does ubuntu not provide that info, I have never seen that, can you actually describe what correctly is?
[18:07] <mumpitzel> !fglrx
[18:07] <mumpitzel> that's how. it will then use dkms
[18:07] <wilee-nilee> mumpitzel, Not a nvidia card
[18:07] <mumpitzel> an ati tho
[18:07] <ripthejacker> the proprietary drivers in the repos are outdated, so I install the ones directly form amd's site
[18:08] <maitake> hm.. virtualbox hates windows 7 aero effects apparently
[18:08] <wilee-nilee> maitake, There is a #vbox channel
[18:08] <maitake> oh oops
[18:08] <maitake> sorry
[18:08] <ripthejacker> *from
[18:09] <wilee-nilee> ripthejacker, Sounds like you are familiar with loading them so that is a good thing. ;)
[18:10] <ripthejacker> wilee-nilee, bekks: which file do I examine so that I can troubleshoot the errors
[18:10] <mumpitzel> and you absolutely need the newests most current drivers? really?
[18:10] <distro> hi
[18:10] <wilee-nilee> hello distro
[18:10] <ripthejacker> http://pastebin.mozilla.org/2731459
[18:11] <wilee-nilee> ripthejacker, Not sure myself, is there a ppa on these?
[18:11] <distro> one question do someone know where I can find irc about rooting android mobiles or like xda
[18:11] <ripthejacker> not sure , I download from their site
[18:11] <wilee-nilee> distro, #android-root
[18:11] <mumpitzel> distro: #android-root. you need to be registered with nickserv to join
[18:12] <distro> tnx bro
[18:14] <wilee-nilee> ripthejacker, Here is a google search on a PPA take a look at the first two, just a reference here I know very little on graphic drivers. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=amd+ppa&btnG=&gbv=1&sei=_F71UYeTMuahiQLbxYC4DA
[18:18] <allan> twice I’ve had a dovecot-postfix upgrade make a mess out of my config, this makes me wonder that perhaps I am doing it wrong
[18:19] <allan> I notice that most things in config files are commented
[18:19] <allan> should I create a new config file with just my changes?
[18:19] <allan> (and name it so that it gets included via the conf.d/* directives)
[18:19] <allan> this is a general question, i.e. applies to setting up postfix, dovecot, apache, mysql, php5, etc.
[18:20] <jimi_> When I do vga out from my laptop, the TV puts the image in a box. How can I get it to be full screen?
[18:20] <allan> it seems that while many default config files will include conf.d/* it’s often not that easy to override the proper things via that mechanism
[18:20] <allan> any best practices wrt. maintaing config in /etc for ubuntu (to allow graceful upgrades)?
[18:21] <ripthejacker> :(
[18:21] <ripthejacker> don't want proprietary drivers
[18:22] <bazhang> !info etckeeper | allan
[18:22] <mumpitzel> then don't use them. you have to actually do stuff to get proprietary drivers
[18:22] <bekks> ripthejacker: Then you - unluckily - have to live with the situation.
[18:23] <allan> bazhang: thanks, though I already keep my config under version control — that doesn’t change that some updates make a mess out of things
[18:24] <magneticduck> is this is a good place to ask about mouse config problems under ubuntu?
[18:26] <magneticduck> :|
[18:27] <ripthejacker> bekks: any place where I can look for help?
[18:27] <bekks> ripthejacker: A hardware shop.
[18:27] <ripthejacker> hmmm
[18:28] <magneticduck> I'll go ahead and ask it; I bought a new mouse with 2800 CPI and nothing is working to tune the polling down!
[18:28] <magneticduck> xset --list-props doesn't have anything useful
[18:28] <magneticduck> and xset m <accel> <t> doesn't do a thing
[18:28] <blue_pearl> magneticduck: what is the problem with mouse
[18:28] <magneticduck> I'm using xmonad with no gnome wrapper
[18:30] <magneticduck> :|
[18:30] <wilee-nilee>  !patience | magneticduck
[18:30] <blue_pearl> I take it to be a USB mouse
[18:31] <wilee-nilee> magneticduck, Please just post what is needed don't swamp the channel.
[18:31] <magneticduck> wilee-nilee: <_>
[18:31] <magneticduck> blue_pearl: yes, it's a USB
[18:31] <wilee-nilee> and don't use enter as punctuation.
[18:31] <magneticduck> mm, I should probably start trying to fix that habit
[18:33]  * mecool :)
[18:34] <raven_> mythtv: trying to set up a hauppauge nova-t stick 3 (2040:7070) in backend on xubuntu 12.04 it gets the model description now but no way to select "video source" and to scan - any ideas?
[18:36] <blue_pearl> magneticduck: seems odd it should work out of the box
[18:36] <magneticduck> blue_pearl: what do you mean?
[18:36] <magneticduck> it's a USB mouse; they usually work out of the box. My only problem is that it's 2800 CPI...
[18:36] <magneticduck> much higher than my previous one
[18:40] <HypnotiX> ubuntu newbie here in need of some help
[18:41] <HypnotiX> i just installed 12.04 and my max resolution is 1024
[18:42] <magneticduck> HypnotiX: apt-get install arandr
[18:42] <magneticduck> everything you need for displays =P
[18:43] <jalhalla> you should mention 'sudo apt-get install arandr'
[18:43] <HypnotiX> ok i will try :)
[18:45] <HypnotiX> should i restart now?
[18:45] <magneticduck> no
[18:45] <jalhalla> start the program arandr in console
[18:45] <magneticduck> and use the mouse to navigate the window
[18:45] <yshi> hello
[18:46] <yshi> does anyone know how to install onto a SSD raid? I did it a year ago with 12.10 and cant get it working again
[18:47] <HypnotiX> well my max resolution in that program is still 1024
[18:47] <jalhalla> Hypnotix, what graphic card do you have?
[18:47] <HypnotiX> nvidia gtx 460
[18:48] <jalhalla> did you install the proprietary driver for that card?
[18:48] <HypnotiX> well i would like to think i did :)
[18:48] <HypnotiX> i installed the latest nvidia from the repo
[18:49] <yshi> when i boot to a live environment i open a terminal and apt-get install mdadm; mdadm --assemble --scan to create the disks i previously used (20GB / and 220GN /home), then run through the installation and set /, /home and /boot (to sda1). when the install is over i go back to the terminal and mount the new install and chroot to it, then install mdadm inside
[18:49] <yshi> when i reboot i end at a minimal openbox system
[18:49] <HypnotiX> why does it have to be so difficult to switch from windows
[18:51] <bekks> HypnotiX: Because Linux isnt Windows.
[18:51] <Terabyte> there's a piece of software called activemq which can be installed with apt-get on ubuntu12.04+ but it's currently only 5.5.0. Where can I check if there is a later version available via apt-get in ubuntu? (alternative repos/ etc)
[18:51] <HypnotiX> well yeah i get that but linux uses the same hardware as windows
[18:52] <yshi> HypnotiX: that may sound like sarcasm but it is really the answer. the reason most people find it hard to switch is because they are expecting it to act the same way while acting different at the same time
[18:52] <HypnotiX> well i tried for 4 hours to install 13.04 then gave up and installed 12.04
[18:53] <HypnotiX> now on 12.04 i cannot use my monitors max resolutions
[18:53] <jalhalla> HypnotiX, can you start the program nvidia-settings?
[18:53] <HypnotiX> after following 3 guides i found on google
[18:53] <HypnotiX> nvidia xserver settings yes
[18:53] <bekks> !nvidia
[18:53] <magneticduck> so nobody got anything on my question eh
[18:53] <bekks> HypnotiX: Thats the only guide you need.
[18:53] <magneticduck> :<
[18:54] <jrib> !helpme | magneticduck
[18:54] <magneticduck> ._.
[18:54] <jalhalla> lol
[18:56] <Dr_willis> the archlinux wiki used to have some nice guides on tweaking weird/highres/gameing mice
[18:56] <HypnotiX> sigh
[18:56] <HypnotiX> 30minutes to get my normal resolution working wtf linux
[18:56] <magneticduck> fun fact: there are literally no links on google involving using Krom (my mouse) mice on linux of any sort
[18:56] <magneticduck> .____________________________--.
[18:56] <Dr_willis> more like wtf nvidia HypnotiX
[18:57] <jrib> magneticduck: did you see what ubottu said?
[18:57] <HypnotiX> thats like the biggest manufacturer of videocards isnt
[18:57] <HypnotiX> it
[18:57] <Dr_willis> HypnotiX,  and if  THEY are lacking in THEIR support of linux    thats the issue.
[18:57] <Dr_willis> they wont even release specs for a lot of their stuff
[18:58] <HypnotiX> i see
[18:58] <HypnotiX> i  so wish to get rid of windows
[18:58] <Dr_willis> MS actually 'charges' companies to have windows-certified drivers..   ATI and NVIDIA and other hardware companies are often relying on  the linux coders to make drivers for free. and often with very little to no actual support from the hardware makers
[18:59] <POVaddct> ...that's why i use intel gfx cards only
[18:59] <Dr_willis> Just for the record - i have no issues with my older nvidia cards. (about 2 yrs old now)
[18:59] <HypnotiX> gtx460 is about 2 years old now
[18:59] <Dr_willis> the new Optimus nvidia stuff has barely any support at this time. Nvidia has made promises - but not really delivered
[19:00] <Dr_willis> I just install the nvidia-current package, reboot. run the nvidia-settings tool and tweak what i need.
[19:00] <HypnotiX> funny enough when i tried to install 13.04 the resolution was set to 1920 by default
[19:00] <Dr_willis> I think mineis a gtx 320, im not even sure any more
[19:00] <HypnotiX> but that didnt work because of some swap scsi error
[19:03] <afotek> Hello. I was moving files from my hard drive, then it suddenly started making i/o errors. GParted shows that some clusters are referenced multiple times. I can't run chkdsk with any parameters - it shows that hard drive is write protected. What can I do?
[19:03] <afotek> FS is NTFS.
[19:03] <magneticduck> oh hahahah, I figured it out; I was targeting the "virtual core keyboard" instance of the mouse device in xinput
[19:03] <mumpitzel> afotek: run chkdsk under winodws. you can't run it properly under ubuntu. but it looks like you have some hardware failure
[19:04] <hazardous> i put in $1500 for ubuntu edge does nayone know when it will be dleivered?
[19:04] <afotek> mumpitze, I can't run chkdsk since it shows that hard drive is write protected.
[19:04] <HypnotiX> ok before i proceed to bash my head against the wall to get ubuntu to work properly
[19:04] <magneticduck> hazardous: that is a hilarious question
[19:04] <HypnotiX> how is linux with ruby and node ?
[19:04] <HypnotiX> good support or ?
[19:05] <mumpitzel> !info ruby
[19:05] <vectra> hazardous   maybe never             did you read the whole thing
[19:05] <bekks> HypnotiX: Most webservers are running non-Windows. So rephrase your question ;)
[19:06] <afotek> mumpitzel: I was using win7 installation dvd for chkdsk. Does that matter?
[19:06] <mumpitzel> afotek: we cannot help you. you cannot run chkdsk under ubuntu. CAN NOT. ntfs is a proprietary, undeocumented windows filesystem
[19:06] <mumpitzel> afotek: we don't know and don't care. ask #windows channels about windows software
[19:06] <oothatshot> is there a linux command that refers to the directory your in such as the ~ refers to your home directory?
[19:06] <MonkeyDust> HypnotiX  the whole internet is running on non-linux, only for the desktop is there some other dominant OS, i forget the name
[19:07] <afotek> mumpitzel: alright, thanks.
[19:07] <bekks> oothatshot: pwd
[19:07] <magneticduck> ooh, mumpitzel is steaming; don't talk about nfts in this house, afotek >:0
[19:07] <oothatshot> nice thanks bekks
[19:07] <babinlonston1> Hi Will u guys any one Describe how to understand the load average  in Linux using time command uptime what im getting
[19:07] <babinlonston1>  00:37:13 up 3 days, 16:52,  2 users,  load average: 0.15, 0.27, 0.46
[19:07] <MonkeyDust> non-windows ^^^^
[19:07] <bekks> babinlonston1: The load is - in fact - totally useless.
[19:07] <mumpitzel> magneticduck: talking about ntfs is fine. just that ubuntu can't fsck any ntfs volumes. it's perfectly fine to talk about ntfs-3g for example
[19:08] <magneticduck> MonkeyDust: what?? Most servers run on Linux O.o
[19:08] <mumpitzel> bekks: not useless
[19:08] <bekks> babinlonston1: It tells you how much "stuff" is going on to fill up one single core with 100% of work. Doesnt matter wether you have 16 cores in fact.
[19:08] <MonkeyDust> magneticduck  typo.....
[19:08] <magneticduck> ah k
[19:08] <bekks> mumpitzel: It is. Totally useless. If you want to know whats going on, use vmstat, iotop or sar.
[19:08] <ReAzem> Anyone here knows how I should setup my mouse sensitivity so that it behaves like in windows?
[19:09] <bekks> babinlonston1: So in theory, a load of 16 would use your 16 cores to 100%. And even thats not true, due to context switches, nice levels, etc.
[19:10] <babinlonston1> ok
[19:10] <babinlonston1> thank u
[19:13] <netlar> Why does certain file extension have different color like bz2
[19:13] <bekks> netlar: Thats for making them recognizable.

[19:14] <netlar> bekks: Just wondered becuase if I use bzip2 does not show a color
[19:14] <magneticduck> my problem: nowhere in either of the devices coming from the mouse have any mousey settings
[19:14] <magneticduck> and the button device seems to be in the wrong place..?
[19:15] <bekks> netlar: I disable those colors by default :)
[19:15] <magneticduck> oh wait, I just actually read the text; it seems that everything's all bundled in one >_> I can be so silly

[19:42] <trism> Gh0stRAT: oh wait, 11.04, there's your issue
[19:42] <trism> Gh0stRAT: it is no longer supported
[19:42] <Gh0stRAT> it's the only LiveCD I have :/
[19:42] <Dr_willis> !find pv
[19:43] <Gh0stRAT> trism: so the consensus is to go DL a new LiveCD?
[19:44] <PrinceOfLight> cant you update to OS on the live CD straight from the CD?
[19:44] <Gh0stRAT> does it just update stuff in RAM?
[19:45] <Gh0stRAT> because I'm trying to recover this drive and don't want a swap file or anything on it to get overwritten
[19:45] <trism> Gh0stRAT: if you want to check the status you can just send SIGUSR1 to the dd process and it will tell you
[19:46] <Gh0stRAT> trism: thanks, I guess that's good enough. `kill -USR1 <pid>` would do it?
[19:46] <planete> planete
[19:47] <trism> Gh0stRAT: yep
[19:48] <Gh0stRAT> trism: thanks. I just checked the progress and it seems to work alright...
[19:49] <shiftshiftrevshi> http://paste2.org/cxcDmIIa
[19:51] <Gh0stRAT> trism: well, looks like I have 29 hrs left to go....
[19:52] <shiftshiftrevshi> "/topic"
[19:52] <Dr_willis> 29 hrs to download a cd?  what you on? Dial up?
[19:52] <jrib> carrier pigeon would be faster
[19:52] <Gh0stRAT> Dr_willis: no, 29 hrs to dd one 2TB drive to another
[19:52] <Gh0stRAT> seems too slow...... whatever
[19:53] <bekks> dr_willis: RFC 1149/2549 ;)
[19:54] <dr_willis> heh.  i dd-ed a 3tb over usb2 on my raspberry pi..  toook like 2 weeks.
[19:55] <OlMightyG> hi, im trying to install a needle-printer (pinwriter p20, nec) and im using a lpt to usb adapter. but i just prints rubbish with the ppd from the system. i also tried the one from openprinting (should be the same)
[19:55] <OlMightyG> any ideas
[19:56] <ustdana> tes
[19:57] <Gh0stRAT> 20MB/s seems really slow. would increasing the block size or something make this dd faster?

[19:59] <Atlantis> Hello!
[19:59] <Atlantis> Is anyone there?
[19:59] <Gh0stRAT> Atlantis: yes, people are here
[20:03] <ZIPY> istn 12.04lts stable?
[20:04] <jrib> ZIPY: it is
[20:04] <ZIPY> but i still get crashes on bootdiskcreater for example
[20:04] <ZIPY> wants me to send reports
[20:05] <jrib> !sru
[20:05] <Gh0stRAT> bumped-up my block size. 20MB/s to 144MB/s
[20:05] <jrib> ZIPY: stable just means the software is mostly unchanging (in ubuntu it means only security updates), not that it is bug free
[20:06] <ZIPY> ah ok
[20:06] <shiftshiftrevshi> @ZIPY that's realtalk
[20:07] <ZIPY> then my question was wrong
[20:09] <ZIPY> is there a version that is bugfree? maybe an older lts or sth
[20:10] <MonkeyDust> ZIPY  is there any OS or anything at all bug free?
[20:10] <ZIPY> i switched to linux to get rid of crashes :(
[20:11] <ZIPY> MonkeyDust: i dont know, but i know debian has unstable, testing and stable for example
[20:11] <Anonymous__> Hello
[20:12] <ZIPY> where testing and stable are pretty "stable" (no crash)
[20:13] <ZIPY> since ubuntu is based on debian, im wondering why its not the same in ubuntu
[20:13] <MonkeyDust> ZIPY  did you have a ubuntu support question?
[20:13] <guest976> wondering if i could get some help with my installation?
[20:14] <ZIPY> yes, is there a version that has not so much crashes
[20:14] <ZIPY> 10.04 lts maybe?
[20:16] <guest976> i manually created a separate partition on my Windows 7 laptop, installed Ubuntu to it using a live USB, and during installation made a swap partition also, but when i reboot i dont get am option after the Acer splash screen to boot into either Windows 7 or Ubuntu, just automatically boots to Ubuntu, is there a way i can set up the bootloader to allow this option?
[20:16] <MonkeyDust> guest976  esc to get the grub menu
[20:18] <guest976> alright ome second i had to do a startup repair
[20:18] <guest976> it should show the option though correct?
[20:18] <K1rk> Any of you ever used an HP P410 RAID card?  I can't get mine to detect any hard drives.
[20:18] <th0r> ZIPY, the LTS releases are as a rule more stable than the interim releases. The lastest LTS is 12.04, and the next is due out in April of next year
[20:19] <guest976> when i press esc it boots only into Windows automatically
[20:20] <guest976> should i just delete my partition and start over but create the ubuntu partition from the installation screen of the bootable windows screen?
[20:20] <MonkeyDust> guest976  try alt or ctrl to get the grub menu, i forget the exact key
[20:20] <ZIPY> guest976: are u using 2 hdds or are both os' on the same?
[20:20] <guest976> i mean the installation of Ubuntu
[20:20] <guest976> same
[20:21] <ZIPY> and u dont see any grubloader at boot?
[20:21] <guest976> nope
[20:22] <ZIPY> u can download bootrepair in ubuntu which will install the grub boot loader
[20:22] <ZIPY> u may have no grub installed
[20:23] <San1ty_> Wow I found out why my pc was doing the strangest things
[20:23] <San1ty_> HDD was dieing and losing data
[20:23] <guest976> yeah that's what i figured but i cant boot into Ubuntu
[20:23] <Dr_willis> that boot-repair live cd /usb is a 'must have' in your pc toolbox. ;)
[20:23] <San1ty_> if somebody ever notices strange behaviour on your pc check the frikkin HD
[20:23] <San1ty_> took me days to figure out
[20:23] <ZIPY> yes there is a livecd too
[20:24] <ZIPY> guest976: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[20:24] <ZIPY> u can use ubuntu livecd too and grub-install
[20:25] <guest976> thank you for the help!
[20:27] <MonkeyDust> ZIPY  and don't say 'u', but 'you', please
[20:27] <emkan> ubuntu is the best!!!

[20:58] <motaka2> Dr_willis: hello, I have installed 12.04 on my system , and it was working quiet well but recentely it keeps freezing netbeans, seems the graphical perfomance is not well, how can I fix this?
[20:58] <Raging> @Caersith i downoad from the Ubuntu Software center it worked at first but is stopped working it says can't connect to TOR
[20:59] <motaka2> Raging: do u know the answer to my question ?
[20:59] <tigrang1> So anyone elses cd drive on laptop randomly decide at times to open on its own?
[20:59] <MonkeyDust> Raging  i tried it too, tor for ubuntu does not work well, it is advised to use the debian version, but that disabled all my sources, slash ruined my system
[20:59] <Dr_willis> motaka2,  we need to know what your video chipset and driver is befor we can even begin to answer. we asked that earlier..
[21:00] <motaka2> lemme check
[21:00] <DeLorean719> I'm having problems booting due to my retardation when it comes to grub. I have Ubuntu Server installed on /dev/sdb, and when I select it as the boot device I get the "grub> " prompt. How can I get it to boot automatically into my Ubuntu Server install?
[21:00] <Raging> sorry @Motaka2 i use 11.04 the 12 am afraid it will not worjk to my satisfaction
[21:00] <caersith> I use the one from the site and use torify/usewithtor ie, usewithtor firefox
[21:00] <shysoft`> My new retina macbook pro crashes about once very ten hours of usage (so, like every other day). According to what I've read this is called a 'kernel panic'. Should this be a cause for concern? Can I expect this problem to persist or get worse over time?
[21:00] <Dr_willis> DeLorean719,  easiest fix would be to use that boot-repair tool/live cd and have it reinstall/fix grub.
[21:00] <MonkeyDust> Raging  first upgrade to a supported release, then try again
[21:00] <DeLorean719> Dr_willis: thanks, I'll try that now
[21:01] <Dr_willis> !fixgrub
[21:01] <Raging> @monkey thanks i will try that.
[21:01] <caersith> Raging: +1 MonkeyDust , upgrade to a supported release.
[21:02] <alex_> Hello! I hope someone can help me? I am using Ubuntu Studio. I have a Netgear USB Wireless adaptor, that will recognize SOME wireless access points, but NOT others, including my home one.
[21:02] <Raging> @caersith i have the one from the Official site it supports firefox but i have not tried that yet.
[21:03] <cam_> Hey there.
[21:03] <Dr_willis> alex_,  compare the security settings the points are using wpa/wep/whatever the others are.. ive seen some issues with some wifi drivers and some kinds of security.
[21:03] <cam_> Are there any other Elementary OS users, here?
[21:03] <Dr_willis> cam_,  this is ubuntu support.. so doubtfull. they have their own support channels.
[21:03] <alex_> Dr_willis, thanks for the response. Do you mean the security settings on MY PC, or on the Router?
[21:03] <cam_> Ack. Just realized it, LOL. Sorry.

[21:04] <deadweasel> 12.04 lts x64
[21:04] <Dr_willis> alex88,  your pc wifi has to match what the router wants.. so check them both.. some drivers have issues with SOME security settings.  try disabling security on the router as a test.
[21:05] <deadweasel> fresh install, transmission has failed to work no matter how it is installed.  it comes in and out of availability.
[21:05] <alex_> Dr_willis, thanks.

[21:08] <gregor_> how can i bride a conection with a computer on my network with ubuntu ?
[21:09] <Dr_willis> !ics
[21:09] <gregor_> thanks il cheack it out
[21:10] <Dr_willis> i was thinking one of the firewall gui tools - had a checkbox or 2 thta enabled it.. but i cant recall which one
[21:10] <Dr_willis> Ill stick to using my ddwrt enabled router these days. ;)
[21:10] <gregor_> do you have to have acces to the other computer on your network to do this ?
[21:11] <Dr_willis> ip-masquerading guides may give some old school fundamental knowledge on the topic also. thats what it used to be called i recall.
[21:11] <motaka2> Dr_willis: it is gforce xfx series
[21:11] <Raging> @Caersith it's now working thanks
[21:11] <Dr_willis> for ICS - you setup the main PC to be the  dhcp server and set it where it forwards the info from the clioents to the internet..
[21:11] <Dr_willis> then the otherpcs use it as their gateway i recall.,
[21:11] <caersith> np

[21:12] <Gh0stRAT> alex_: depending on what country you're in, channels 13 and 14 may or may not be available to you. (so if your router is using one of those channels but your computer thinks you're in the US, you won't be able to see it)
[21:14] <motaka2> Dr_willis: help me too
[21:14] <Raging> is there any Good Coding apps available for Ubuntu users, is yes please anyone help me with the link?
[21:15] <alex_> Gh0stRAT, thanks for the response. My router is using channel 12, and I'm in Denmark. I just disabled wireless security temporarily on the router, so that the network was completely open... but my computer still did not recognize its existence.
[21:16] <alex_> Gh0stRAT: Although... it had the option of Channel 13 earlier. I wonder if it's defaulted. I had best check where my PC thinks it is.
[21:16] <pvl1> ddwrt FTW!!!
[21:16] <Lope> on previous versions of ubuntu I could press tab in the terminal for auto-complete. now it doesn't work at all. any idea why? running Mint 15 Mate x64
[21:17] <Lope> isn't openWRT better than DDwrt?
[21:17] <xangua> !mint | Lope
[21:18] <MonkeyDust> Lope  that factoid is not correct, go to linuxmint.com, click Community and the Chat Room
[21:18] <MonkeyDust> then*
[21:18] <pvl1> MonkeyDust: they mean we dont support it in this chatroom
[21:19] <pvl1> furthermore canonical develops ubuntu
[21:19] <pvl1> not mint
[21:19] <MonkeyDust> pvl1  i know, but the factoid must be updated
[21:19] <motaka2> Dr_willis: are you there?
[21:20] <pvl1> MonkeyDust: gotcha

[21:23] <Gh0stRAT> motaka2: when you say NetBeans freezes, can you go into more detail? Is it a momentary freeze, or a long freeze?
[21:24] <motaka2> Gh0stRAT: it wont work any more, i have to xkill it
[21:24] <Gh0stRAT> hmmmm
[21:25] <Gh0stRAT> does it freeze after a random amount of time, or right away?
[21:26] <motaka2> Gh0stRAT: a fetr a random amount of time, usually after it tries to open suggestions for auto complete
[21:26] <motaka2> Gh0stRAT: I have 2GB of RAM and I think AMD 3200 hertz, is that low?
[21:26] <bekks> motaka2: No.
[21:27] <Gh0stRAT> motaka2: That should be totally fine for Netbeans
[21:27] <Gh0stRAT> motaka2: All I can really think of is starting NetBeans from a terminal and then looking at the console when it freezes to see if there are any errors.
[21:29] <motaka2> Gh0stRAT: how can i do that?
[21:29] <Gh0stRAT> motaka2: Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal
[21:29] <motaka2> Gh0stRAT:no I mean how to run it from therminal
[21:30] <Gh0stRAT> motaka2: I don't know what the command to start NetBeans is, but I assume it's jsut `netbeans`
[21:31] <Gh0stRAT> motaka2: Did that work?
[21:31] <motaka2> Gh0stRAT: no
[21:32] <Maple__> Hey.
[21:33] <Maple__> Is there some command to locate the audio driver files?
[21:33] <Gh0stRAT> motaka2: Try /usr/local/netbeans-X.Y/bin/netbeans
[21:33] <Gh0stRAT> motaka2: (where X.Y is your version of NetBeans)
[21:34] <motaka2> Gh0stRAT: it worked
[21:34] <Gh0stRAT> Maple__: I don't know what it's called in modern Ubuntu distributions, but there should be some sort of "Additional Hardware" wizard you can start
[21:34] <Gh0stRAT> motaka2: Great, now try to get it to crash
[21:34] <gregor_> how do i get to the network settings on ubuntu ?
[21:35] <alex_> gregor_: What desktop environment are you using?
[21:35] <Raging> @Caersith am newbie i cant install it
[21:36] <ineedarobot> hey all. I have apt-get installed clamav and python-pyclamav yet my pip install pyclamav is failing: "pyclamav.c:25:20: fatal error: clamav.h: No such file or directory"  Does anyone know how to resolve this please?
[21:36] <gregor_> Ubuntu 12.04.2 @ alex
[21:37] <jrib> ineedarobot: you need the -dev libraries.  But if you already have python-clamav, why are you now also using pip?
[21:38] <ineedarobot> jrib: thanks for your response.  Should I install libclamav-dev?  BTW i was installing python-clamav out of desperation
[21:38] <aaron_> anyone know how to span screensaver across two screens?
[21:38] <ineedarobot> jrib: should have known better :D
[21:38] <jrib> ineedarobot: I don't know what you want to accomplish
[21:39] <caersith> Raging: sudo apt-get install emacs
[21:39] <ineedarobot> jrib: I want to scan a file for viruses using django
[21:39] <jrib> ineedarobot: so why don't you just use python-clamav?
[21:40] <caersith> change emacs with the package to install ie, vim, etc.
[21:40] <ineedarobot> jrib: I am using virtualenv and using python-clamav will install the library globally.
[21:40] <jrib> ineedarobot: you're using virtualenv with --no-site-packages?
[21:40] <DeltaPlay> Hi eveyone
[21:40] <ineedarobot> jrib: yes
[21:41] <Raging> @Caersith it says (E: Some packages could not be authenticated
[21:41] <Raging> )
[21:41] <jrib> ineedarobot: do "sudo apt-get build-dep python-clamav", then you should be able to use pip to install clamav
[21:41] <aaron_> anyone know how to span xscreensaver across two screens in Ubuntu 12.04?
[21:43] <ineedarobot> jrib: thanks for the tip.  That has gotten me over the first hurdle.  Now I am getting: pyclamav.c:305:29: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘struct cl_limits’

[21:44] <akrl> Has anyone install bar (bar ain't recursive) on ubuntu? I'm getting an error when I run make
