[16:13] <rifter> BluesKaj, is there a way to tell it to go look again for cards?
[16:13] <silverarrow> deppa, so some sort of error in the boot menu funtions
[16:13] <silverarrow> hmm
[16:13] <^GeCk0^> hm ok thanks
[16:13] <hakongram> ok, got fstab working fine....youtube is my friend ;-)
[16:14] <rifter> BluesKaj, what I don't get is the login screen is using pulseaudio and it works fine
[16:14] <BluesKaj> rifter, what chip is listed in alsamixer?
[16:14] <silverarrow> deppa, you mean you have to hold in the on/off button to shut down?
[16:14] <rifter> BluesKaj, HDA NVidia  which is what shows in aplay -l
[16:14] <deppa> silverarrow: yes
[16:15] <silverarrow> deppa I see, that must be sorted out
[16:15] <rifter> BluesKaj, gonna try rebooting again.. and see what is up
[16:15] <deppa> silverarrow: yes
[16:16] <user82> what is the correct syntax for "screen strings * | grep any" when i want the whoel command in the screen incl grep
[16:17] <deppa> silverarrow: Also, it only happens when I have multiple users logged on. If it is just me that is logged on, I can shut down/restart with no problem.
[16:18] <operatorplik> how
[16:18] <silverarrow> deppa: I see, that complicates it a bit
[16:18] <operatorplik> hallo
[16:19] <BluesKaj> rifter, what does lsmod | grep snd output , pastebin pls
[16:19] <silverarrow> deppa, do you log out before shutdown or go straight for shutdown?
[16:19] <amr_> hello, every time I open my ubuntu 12 system, I need to go to disks and activate my swap partition, to enable the hibernate function, any advice to let it be automatically set?
[16:20] <deppa> silverarrow: I go straight to shut down.
[16:20] <silverarrow> deppa: which should work fine really
[16:20] <silverarrow> but it is not
[16:20] <trijntje> amr_: how do you activate your swap partition? What command?
[16:20] <silverarrow> deppa, and from logged out mode?
[16:21] <amr_> I open disks program then click on the external disk which have my 5G swap partition then click on 'activate swap space' button
[16:21] <rifter> BluesKaj, well it's the same. sound works in the login screen but once I log in as myself or the new user I created to test this I have no sound, and the sound settings show "dummy output."  I don't have anything phonon installed as far as I can tell.  Do you know how I can tell pulseaudio to look at the cards again?
[16:22] <milo_> hello
[16:22] <deppa> silverarrow: Well, it goes into logged out mode after I click shut down and from there, it won't let me shut down no matter how many times I click the button.
[16:22] <amr_> trijntje:  I open disks program then click on the external disk which have my 5G swap partition then click on 'activate swap space' button
[16:22] <rifter> BluesKaj, then again it's really strange since the login screen would use pulseaudio also
[16:22] <milo_> I just ran in to a kernel panic... I can't press the power button for 5 seconds to turn off my computer. What can I do?
[16:22] <trijntje> amr_: which program?
[16:22] <amr_> Disks, it's default in the system
[16:23] <Newtoubuntu> i am using cairo dock, i had my windows music folders and such working fine, on a reboot they show as empty or unreadable through the dock. why is this and how can i fix that
[16:23] <milo_> on a laptop
[16:23] <silverarrow> deppa, I think you have to be logged out on all accounts to be allowed to shutdown or reboot?
[16:23] <trijntje> milo_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
[16:23] <amr_> trijntje: disks
[16:23] <silverarrow> deppa, did you double check for all logged out on all accounts
[16:24] <silverarrow> deppa, I am just trouble shooting all options
[16:24] <BluesKaj> rifter, maybe the login just uses alsa and not pulse
[16:24] <milo_> trijntje, thanks... I was just about to force remove the laptop's battery. :s
[16:24] <hongzhiming> Hi, Could anyone can help me confirm if Nautilus in Ubuntu 12.04 has file tagging support?
[16:24] <trijntje> amr_: you can add an extra line to /etc/fstab for your swap file
[16:24] <rifter> BluesKaj, possible...
[16:25] <syntaxx> anyone here who can help me on how can i change the "ubuntu 12.04" text on full encryption?
[16:25] <deppa> silverarrow: No. I just shut down. I know for a fact that my mom has been logged in when I try to shut down and that's when it happens. Is it impossible for anyone to shut down if other users are logged in?
[16:25] <amr_> trijntje, how?
[16:25] <trijntje> amr_: if your swap is on /dev/sdX, put in:
[16:25] <trijntje> /dev/sdX none swap sw 0 0
[16:25] <silverarrow> deppa, admin user should be able to shutdown directly
[16:25] <silverarrow> not the others
[16:25] <deppa> silverarrow: and I am adimin so that's weird.
[16:25] <trijntje> amr_: first find out where your swap partition is, and then edit /etc/fstab with alt+f2 -> gksu gedit /etc/fstab
[16:25] <savio> anybody
[16:26] <savio> who is using rvm
[16:26] <savio> anybody using rvm
[16:27] <savio> i had problem installing gem
[16:27] <amr_> trijntje: i found this line in fstab file >>>>>> # swap was on /dev/sdb5 during installation
[16:27] <amr_> UUID=5463df7e-58f8-423d-b37b-3de5e0ed5265 none            swap    sw              0       0
[16:27] <silverarrow> deppa,  I found thread on the Ubuntu forum on this, and there seem to have been a bug affecting several, but it was in Mai
[16:27] <silverarrow> deppa, and for 12.04
[16:27] <trijntje> !ask | savio
[16:27] <silverarrow> should have been sorted out by now
[16:28] <gyre007> anyone knows how do I find the processes which start on boot automatically...something like update-rc.d stuff im missing ??
[16:28] <deppa> silverarrow: Well I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity the other day.
[16:28] <silverarrow> you have done all updates ?
[16:29] <silverarrow> deppa, updates should really have taken care of this if the bug is fixed
[16:29] <amr_> trijntje, do i have to comment this line and write what you tell me?
[16:29] <syntaxx> no one?
[16:29] <deppa> silverarrow: This is quite a quandary.
[16:30] <trijntje> amr_: that looks like your swap partition. What happens when you run the following in a terminal (ctrl + alt + t): sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -a
[16:30] <trijntje> do you still have a swap afterwards?
[16:30] <user82> asking again: what is the correct syntax for "screen strings * | grep any" when i want the whoel command in the screen incl grep
[16:31] <silverarrow> yes, and I am afraid you need someone who knows the boot-functions better than I do, but hang around, there are people who know here
[16:31] <amr_> trijntje: here is the result >> swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=5463df7e-58f8-423d-b37b-3de5e0ed5265
[16:31] <silverarrow> deppa,sorry that was intended for you
[16:31] <deppa> silverarrow: I saw it. Thank you so much, though!
[16:31] <trijntje> user82: I dont understand the question
[16:32] <trijntje> amr_: looks like you changed or moved your swap partition, and that is why it's not activated automatically
[16:32] <silverarrow> deppa, you can try with double checking for logged out for all users at least
[16:32] <rifter> BluesKaj, found the answer. looks like I had installed randomsound which is a program that gets entropy from the sound card
[16:32] <kstampo> hello
[16:32] <trijntje> do you know which partition you swap is on?
[16:32] <kstampo>  what are the files that are related to groups management
[16:32] <kstampo> other than etc/group
[16:32] <kstampo> ?
[16:32] <FloodBot1> kstampo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:32] <silverarrow> deppa, until you get real solution
[16:32] <rifter> BluesKaj, removing that is what fixed it
[16:32] <deppa> silverarrow: can I log others out using the terminal?
[16:32] <user82> trijntje if i do "screen strings * | grep any" i get "strings *" in the screen and the | grep any uses the stdout of screen
[16:32] <amr_> I commented the uuid by # in the first of the line and will put this line instead >> /dev/sdb5 none swap sw 0 0
[16:33] <user82> that is not what i wanted..i wanted the whole thing packed into screen
[16:33] <silverarrow> deppa, not sure, but I think so
[16:33] <amr_> trijntje: I commented the uuid by # in the first of the line and will put this line instead >> /dev/sdb5 none swap sw 0 0          is this a good idea?
[16:33] <trijntje> amr_: if /dev/sdb5 is your swap partition: yes
[16:33] <silverarrow> well, everything can be done from terminal if you just know how deppa, but I am learning this too
[16:34] <amr_> trijntje, yes it should be , thank you i will restart and see
[16:34] <silverarrow> deppa, let me check
[16:34] <kstampo> help please ?
[16:34] <deppa> silverarrow: ok thanks!
[16:34] <Newtoubuntu> how do  i correctly integrate my windows folders on cardio dock?
[16:34] <silverarrow> deppa, have you tried "sudo shutdown" in terminal?
[16:35] <silverarrow> or "sudo reboot" deppa?
[16:35] <Newtoubuntu> a drag n drop worked but on reboot wasnt able to access the files again through the dock shortcuts
[16:35] <deppa> silverarrow: I can try.
[16:35] <trijntje> user82: still not getting it. Can you explain what you want to do in words?
[16:35] <Guest21699> anyone know if the ubuntu purchase store is down and for how long?
[16:36] <Newtoubuntu> dr_willis, maybe you could help me
[16:36] <kstampo>  what are the files that are related to groups management ?
[16:36] <silverarrow> deppa, I found this guide, you have to shroll down to 11.10 version which is the same as for 12.04
[16:36] <user82> trijntje i want to run "string * | grep any" which prints the strings in all files in the dir and then searches for the term any so only results with any is what i get. and this whole thing i want to get into a screen so i can detach it
[16:36] <silverarrow> deppa http://askubuntu.com/questions/15795/how-can-you-log-out-via-the-terminal
[16:36] <J0nathan-to> I would like to "not use standard gateway" on a vpn connection, so I could use my own internet as well as resources on vpn network. Help?
[16:37] <user82> trijntje  but if i put screen in front of it the | goes wrong
[16:37] <milind> I want to upload a base 64 image
[16:37] <silverarrow> deppa, in general it seems to be "gnome-session quit"
[16:37] <user82> so i thought maybe i need screen 'string * | grep any' or so on
[16:37] <milind> in django forms, does the usual filefield in django model work?
[16:38] <user82> to get the | grep to sue the stdout of string not for screen
[16:38] <silverarrow> deppa, this is rather new to me to, I don`t have multiple users on my computer
[16:38] <deppa_> silverarrow: I tried using the terminal. The command was sudo shutdown -r now to restart
[16:41] <silverarrow> deppa_: I think I have used simple "sudo reboot" from terminal and it has worke, but then again I don`t have multiple users
[16:41] <Sokel> deppa_: sudo init 6
[16:42] <deppa_> Sokel: Can you help with this problem?
[16:43] <Sokel> deppa_: What's the problem exactly
[16:44] <amr_> trijntje, thank you all work fine now
[16:44] <silverarrow> deppa_   Sokel , if it is still a bug with boot manger or user-account manager it should be reported?
[16:44] <deppa_> Sokel: When I try to reboot/shut down with multiple users logged in,  it will take me to the welcome screen and will not shut down/restart even when I press the button from there. I have to hold the power button to shut down.
[16:44] <Sokel> deppa_: Why can't you just type sudo init 6 at the terminal
[16:45] <deppa_> Sokel: Well I could but my mom also uses this computer and I don't think she would know how to use the terminal (she's older haha).
[16:46] <Sokel> deppa_: Ever thought about logging out when you're done?
[16:46] <silverarrow> deppa_: I think it`s more practis than age really
[16:46] <deppa_> Sokel: Yeah but I just think it would be so much easier just to use the shut down button.
[16:47] <dontknow> with intel hd4000 graphics can you watch mkv videos with hardware acceleration?
[16:47] <silverarrow> deppa_: tru it should be fixed
[16:47] <Sokel> deppa_: So what you're saying is... you'd rather stay logged in when you're done using the computer? If you're done using it and others use it, just log off. If a single user is logged in, then it should shut down normally.
[16:47] <silverarrow> typos galore today
[16:48] <dontknow> it is intel core i5 ivy bridge graphics
[16:48] <deppa_> Sokel: But I would rather fix the problem than try to find my way around it.
[16:49] <silverarrow> deppa_: the simplest really is to check for users logged in, even if admin-user should be able to shut-down directly
[16:49] <Sokel> deppa_: Lookup policy kit. And then you can fix that issue.
[16:49] <Sokel> deppa_: It's a policy in place that says if others are logged in, no system shut down.
[16:50] <deppa_> silverarrow Sokel: Thanks to you both!
[16:50] <savio> trijntje, i had problem with installing gem i install ruby with rvm
[16:50] <J0nathan-to> I would like to "not use standard gateway" on a vpn connection, so I could use my own internet as well as resources on vpn network. Help?

[16:53] <shinigami> hi
[16:54] <shinigami> hiiiii
[16:54] <dontknow> can you watch mkv videos hardware accelerated with intel hd 4000 gpu integrated in core i5? hardware accelerated means gpu making decoding not cpu
[16:56] <subz3r0> !vdpau | dontknow
[16:57] <DinMamma> Hi yall. Im having a DBserver running mongodb which is backed by a raid0(512+256 SSD) running on a ESXi host. When I query my machine really hard it sometimes locks up.
[16:57] <dontknow> subz3r0, yes nvidia uses it. i am asking if it works with intel hd 4000
[16:57] <savio> i have problem installing gem with rvm
[16:58] <DinMamma> Load goes up to 40 and I cant stop the mongoprocess or restart the machine, I have to "hard restart" it. I guess this is related to a faulty disk, but smart-ctl doesnt seem to work in ESXi guests.
[16:58] <DinMamma> Is that a common pattern amongs disk-failures? Mega-load and unable to kill processes and restart the machine(init 6)
[16:58] <sharket> Why ubuntu installer is not loading my SAS drives
[16:59] <DinMamma> Its very irregular how the machine locks up, sometime it takes a couple of hours, sometimes ~30 min. As long as I dont query the DB hard everything is groovy.
[17:04] <kcin> hi, I'm looking for ebook management app but not calibre, are there any other application?
[17:05] <faLUCE> hi. I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04. However, in /etc/apt/sources.list I still see "oneiric" in the lines of repos
[17:05] <faLUCE> why?
[17:06] <syntaxx> anyone know how can i change the encrypted plymouth logo/text?
[17:06] <Kii> hi there
[17:06] <Kii> I need support :p
[17:06] <Kii> does anyone has 5min ?
[17:06] <Kii> have*
[17:07] <Kii> I want to mount an internal DD, but once I try to mount it, it is said that it's not a block
[17:07] <sloopy> I wish i had 5min... would be very useful to me...
[17:07] <Kii> sloopy: isn't 24H a day enough ?
[17:07] <SolarisBoy> hardly!
[17:07] <sloopy> Kii, how is it failing to mount?
[17:08] <Kii> I think i try to mount something already mounted
[17:08] <SolarisBoy> Kii: a DD? like a dd image?
[17:08] <sloopy> Kii, i am up 18-20 hours/day... and still behind...
[17:08] <Kii> ho, sory, DD is french for harddrive
[17:08] <SolarisBoy> oh
[17:08] <Kii> disque dur ...
[17:08] <SolarisBoy> lol
[17:08] <SolarisBoy> dur?
[17:09] <Kii> means "harsh"
[17:09] <SolarisBoy> ahh cool
[17:09] <sloopy> it is (uncommonly) used in the US, but HD/HDD is most common..
[17:09] <Studious> is it bad when smoke is coming out of my laptop?
[17:09] <Kii> Studious: it seems so
[17:09] <SolarisBoy> Studious: most likely
[17:10] <SolarisBoy> Studious: at which point one would assume something is burning
[17:10] <sloopy> Studious, this has been known to cause problems...
[17:10] <Kii> so, my HDD is mounted in /media/DATA, but I don't think it's mounted automaticly
[17:10] <SolarisBoy> remove laptop from lap immediately or face severe burning
[17:10] <Studious> last time it caught fire and I had to do a whole lot of spitting to put it out
[17:10] <SolarisBoy> yuk
[17:11] <Studious> good thing I spit dollar bills
[17:11] <sloopy> Kii, is it listed in fstab?
[17:11] <Kii> do i have to mount from /dev ?
[17:11] <SolarisBoy> well as logical at that seems fire nor water are healthy for a computer
[17:11] <Kii> i dont have fstab :/
[17:11] <sloopy> /etc/fstab
[17:11] <dr_willis> yes you do ;)
[17:11] <dr_willis> !fstab
[17:11] <SolarisBoy> fstabs always there =)
[17:12] <sloopy> dr_willis, greetings, been a while...
[17:12] <SolarisBoy> its like michael meyers (@bad fstab jokes)
[17:12] <Kii> "command not found" I'll dl it
[17:12] <SolarisBoy> Kii: its a file
[17:12] <Kii> ho
[17:12] <dr_willis> Kii:  fstab is not a command.....
[17:12] <Kii> :/
[17:12] <Kii> sorry xD
[17:12] <SolarisBoy> Kii: view /etc/fstab take a loow
[17:12] <SolarisBoy> *look
[17:12] <sloopy> Kii, um, read the bot preachings again...
[17:13] <dr_willis> yes. a read of the bot url pages.. would be handy
[17:13] <Kii> allright, i opened it, what should i see ?
[17:13] <SolarisBoy> the layout of your drives and how they are mounted
[17:13] <sloopy> a list of partitions to be mounted...
[17:13] <SolarisBoy> along with what options they are mounted with and which drivers
[17:14] <Kii> does this "ext4    errors=remount-ro" is significant ?
[17:14] <SolarisBoy> Kii: which line do you see that on? thats not a complete line
[17:14] <sloopy> Kii, yeah, it means that partition is formated with ext4, and if there are errors on it, it is to be mounted read-only
[17:14] <SolarisBoy> Kii: is it on the line of the disk/partition you are having problems with?
[17:15] <Kii> yep
[17:15] <Kii> but i wanted to find where it was in /dev
[17:15] <Kii> i found it
[17:15] <shinigami> there anyone hacker !!
[17:15] <SolarisBoy> Kii: is there a file system on the device?
[17:15] <Kii> now i think i can mount it
[17:15] <Kii> yep
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> shinigami: try ##network
[17:15] <SolarisBoy> okies
[17:15] <shinigami> ok thx
[17:15] <SolarisBoy> lol @ that ActionParsnip
[17:16] <shinigami> join /#network
[17:16] <dr_willis> or #lumberjacks
[17:16] <SolarisBoy> ##hack
[17:16] <SolarisBoy> but you wont like it in there..
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> shinigami: try:  /join #networks
[17:16] <shinigami> done
[17:16] <tavl> about make/makefiles... suppose that "foo.out" depends on "foo.c" and "bar.a"... is there a way to avoid rebuilding "bar.a", even if "bar.c" is newer (or even absent)?
[17:16] <SolarisBoy> lols
[17:17] <Kii> oooooops
[17:17] <SolarisBoy> Kii: becareful
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> tavl: i'd ask in #programming
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> tavl: i believe you can touch the file, then rebuild (maybe)
[17:17] <Newtoubuntu> is there a way i can keep my windows partition mounted permanently?
[17:18] <SolarisBoy> sure Newtoubuntu
[17:18] <SolarisBoy> put it in fstab and use the relevant driver most likely ntfs-3g
[17:18] <dr_willis> Newtoubuntu: put an entry in the fstab file for it
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> Newtoubuntu: add an entry for it in /etc/fstab
[17:18] <dr_willis> !ntfs-3g
[17:18] <dr_willis> !fstab > Newtoubuntu
[17:18]  * SolarisBoy eats a donut
[17:19] <Kii> i mounted the wrong partition
[17:19] <tavl> ActionParsnip, ty
[17:19] <Kii> :/
[17:19] <SolarisBoy> Kii: be careful
[17:19] <Newtoubuntu> thanks all. lemme try this now :)
[17:19] <Kii> yep yep
[17:19] <Kii> i'm busy right now
[17:19] <SolarisBoy> Kii: be happy you were just mounting and not formatting =)
[17:19] <Kii> hum, i should come to you late
[17:19] <Kii> yeah yeah I know
[17:19] <arosen> Hi, I'm trying to use the system wide proxy in ubuntu but when i do that it breaks the tunnel connection that i've already setup. Any iddeas?

[17:24] <acer> how do i do that :s
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> acer: yes, because the PPA you added doesn't support Precise, which you are using
[17:25] <acer> how do i remove it
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> acer: you can use software centre, or delete the relevant files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[17:25] <acer> ok
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> acer: have some patience, I'm not that fast
[17:25] <tagrape> Hi, Question :: I've mounted a drive. Now I want to mount the folders in the external drive to folders on my local server drive. Is this something I can just do in fstab ?
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> acer: give people time to think, and to type
[17:25] <acer> i understand :) its ok
[17:25] <zoktar> ehm, so i found out i need to reinstall ubuntu, just so that i can get raid on my other 2 disks. Is it possible to make like a clone of my install and reinsert it later?.
[17:26] <acer> thank you, i will do what you told me
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> acer: are you always this impatient, its particularly annoying
[17:26] <javierf_> Hi. I'm trying to combine two icon themes. When I go to icons on root nautilus, if I make a copy of the folder I want to use to start modifying it, if I choose that folder as icon theme, it's nothing like its copy (and, since it's its copy, should look the same). What am I missing? Thanks for help!
[17:26] <Pierreb> anyone know how to setup hdmi sound for nvidia gt 240 in xbmc with pulseaudio? default/non high quality sound stuff works but others dont :-/
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> Pierreb: is the hdmi set as the output device in sound settings?
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> Pierreb: is it set in alsamixer too?
[17:27] <kubanc> Hellow! I've installed ISO image of Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit on USB key with unetbootin and i get BOOTMGR is missing
[17:27] <kubanc> and ideas?
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> Pierreb: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[17:27] <uberamd> kubanc: did you install grub?
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> kubanc: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[17:27] <jgcampbell300> i have ubuntu 12.04 maas juju installed ... eth0 for lan and eth1 for internet ... and i am trying to figgure out why i only have nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> .. i am trying to figgure out how i can use dns on web for eth1 and local dns for eth0 and wondering why there is no search defaultdomain in resolv.conf eather
[17:27] <Pierreb> ActionParsnip: presise
[17:28] <acer> ActionParsnip, i'm not impatient as not allowing you to type, but in as not bothering waiting for a message board reply, sometimes people skip the text after, dont worry, no need to feel im beeing impatient at all
[17:28] <Pierreb> ActionParsnip: yes it is i can play in vlc too and get sound
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> Pierreb: then you have a corrpted OS, it's spelt incorrectly
[17:28] <Pierreb> ActionParsnip: you think?
[17:28] <kubanc> ActionParsnip, NO
[17:28] <chris__> Hi, looking for a spot of help
[17:28] <uberamd> jgcampbell300: are you configured via dhcp?
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> acer: well when you reply so quickly to prompt for responce within only a few seconds, you come across as such
[17:28] <Pierreb> ActionParsnip: i would guess i was spelling wrong but sure be a smartass
[17:28] <uberamd> chris__: just ask
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> kubanc: then how did you know the ISO was complete and consistent?
[17:29] <chris__> installed 12.04 and everything was running smooth, then i wanted to remove and fresh install, with a swap drive inc. etc... what do people recomend for a partition list?
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> Pierreb: all you had to do was copy and paste it,
[17:29] <kubanc> ActionParsnip, I'm hoping everytinh is OK
[17:29] <kubanc> :D
[17:29] <uberamd> kubanc: i've seen installs where grub either iddn't install or it went to the wrong partition
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> kubanc: thats not suficient
[17:29] <jgcampbell300> uberamd: i have read throu most of the config and templets and i am not sure where to make changes safely
[17:29] <kubanc> ActionParsnip, I agree
[17:29] <uberamd> jgcampbell300: but is eth0 and eth1 configured via dhcp?
[17:29] <kubanc> ActionParsnip, does it matter if i have fat32 or ntfs usb key?
[17:30] <Pierreb> ActionParsnip: precise, happy? :)
[17:30] <jgcampbell300> uberamd: oh .. no ... interfaces
[17:30] <uberamd> kubanc: if it installed then no...
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> kubanc: use FAT32 but you need to check the ISO is good
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> Pierreb: sounds like an XBMC setting
[17:30] <chris__> when installing ubuntu, is it worth having a boot drive, storage area and a swap drive?
[17:30] <chris__> or all in one?
[17:31] <uberamd> chris__: if you're a beginner then all in 1 is fine
[17:31] <Pierreb> ActionParsnip: i would guess so too
[17:31] <uberamd> chris__: I usually give myself a 200MB boot and 2xRAM swap
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> Pierreb: try in #xbmc too:)
[17:31] <chris__> in ext2,3 or 4?
[17:31] <tagrape> 3
[17:31] <uberamd> chris__: I personally do ext3 for boot, ext4 for /
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> uberamd: why a seperate partition for boot?
[17:32] <chris__> i was thinking about a 4gb swap, 20gb for boot and remaining 250ish for storage space
[17:32] <uberamd> chris__: swap doesn't need to be > 200MB
[17:32] <kubanc> ActionParsnip, lol, the the md5 showed different :D
[17:32] <uberamd> chris__: er... boot lol
[17:32] <uberamd> chris__: boot is used by grub, 200MB is more than enough
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> kubanc: always ALWAYS check the MD5sum of the ISO yo download. Its there for a reason
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> kubanc: its the first thing I always ask and everyone replies 'no'
[17:33] <uberamd> ActionParsnip: kubanc he is right. However, and this is just anecdotal, but I've never MD5summed an ISO in 15 years and haven't ever had a problem.
[17:33] <chris__> ok, so make an ext3 space of 200mb for boot and 4gb swap with 270gb in ext4 for files etc...
[17:33] <chris__> ive checked the MD5sum and all is fine
[17:33] <uberamd> chris__: yes. If you plan to do a lot of development then maybe up swap
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> uberamd: must've got lucky, or used torrent
[17:34] <chris__> like 10gb swap?
[17:34] <jgcampbell300> uberamd: do i need to configure eth0 and eth1 in dnsmasq.conf
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> uberamd: swap needs to be a little bigger than RAM if you need suspend etc
[17:34] <uberamd> chris__: it wouldn't hurt. Some projects I've done require 8GB swap or more
[17:34] <uberamd> ActionParsnip: I have a rule, swap = 2xRAM
[17:35] <chris__> i'll go 10gb swap then, and just have one large 290GB space in ext3 for the installation and files?
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> uberamd: only if you have less than 2Gb RAM
[17:35] <uberamd> chris__: I'd do ext4 for /
[17:36] <tagrape> chris__, I also use a setup where my /home dirs are on a different partition as well.
[17:36] <chris__> is it worth me making a boot?
[17:36] <uberamd> chris__: i would, set it as ext3, and 200MB. fairly easy.
[17:37] <chris__> just adding a partition to the list. doing it on custom install option when installing
[17:37] <uberamd> chris__: advanced users do what tagrape said and put /home on a diff partition. However then you really need to know how bit you want / compared to /home
[17:37] <loganrun> I am getting some emacs23-x that apparently crashes at login
[17:37] <loganrun> and always wants to send a bug report
[17:38] <chris__> do i need to make the 200mb boot the primary?
[17:38] <uberamd> chris__: You can make them all primary if you want
[17:38] <chris__> 200mb boot for ubuntu12.04, that just seems really small
[17:39] <uberamd> chris__: Boot only contains grub files, it doesn't contain the Ubuntu ISO or anything. You'll likely have < 100 MB used after install
[17:39] <uberamd> chris__: i wont stop you from making it 50TB if you want, but that's a waste of space.
[17:40] <chris__> uberamd: you recommend i make a seperate /home aswel or just have the remaining space as /
[17:40] <chris__> uberamd: lol
[17:40] <dspohn_> hi all
[17:41] <uberamd> chris__: no, I don't do seperate /home.  All your downloads will go there. Music, etc. So you need to make /home huge but leave enough space for / which is hard to know
[17:41] <chris__> uberamd: ok, i'll just run with / in ext4 for the remaining
[17:41] <uberamd> chris__: perfect
[17:42] <uberamd> chris__: some info at: http://superuser.com/questions/66015/installing-ubuntu-do-i-really-need-a-boot-parition
[17:43] <J0nathan-to> I would like to "not use standard gateway" on a vpn connection, so I could use my own internet as well as resources on vpn network. Help?
[17:43] <chris__> uberamd: thanks, one last question, is it better to have primary or logical?
[17:43] <uberamd> chris__: I do primary for everything until I can't make anymore then I use logical. There are differences, but generally end users should just go primary unless the installer says they cant
[17:43] <uberamd> chris__: a hard drive can have (iirc) 6 primary partitions
[17:44] <gaurav__> Hii all I am gaurav from india.
[17:44] <loganrun> is lircd still used for getting the input from the IR sensor on my tuner card?
[17:45] <gaurav__> I have an issue. I am working in an academic institution and recently procured 2 IBM servers.  Server: IBM x3400 m3 model and ncomputing solution.
[17:46] <chris__> uberamd: thats cool. just setting up the new partitions, completely wiped the prev ubuntu install, and adding 200mb ext3 /boot, 10gb swap and 309GB /
[17:46] <Studious> gaurav_: IBM... there is the problem.
[17:46] <uberamd> chris__: looks good!
[17:46] <tagrape> ha
[17:47] <uberamd> chris__: i was wrong, not that it matters. A drive can have 4 primary partitions, the rest need to be logical/extended. However it really makes no difference to the OS whether its pri/logi
[17:47] <loganrun> is there any easy way to get IR set up. it used to work on my pchdtv card, but I no longer have room for that card on my system. now I need to get it working on my pchdtv card
[17:47] <gaurav__> I wasn't able to install 10.04 server on the server. The hardware didn't had any issue if i installed the ubuntu 10.04 but it didn't boot at all.
[17:47] <loganrun> pcHDTV HD5000 HDTV I think
[17:47] <uberamd> gaurav__: did you install grub?
[17:48] <uberamd> gaurav__: or did the install cd not boot?
[17:48] <tagrape> gaurav__, Use the live CD to look at the install and make sure all the confs needed like grub were installed
[17:48] <chris__> uberamd: does it matter if the new partitions go at the beginning or at the end?
[17:48] <gaurav__> Studious: Yes. I did
[17:48] <tagrape> gaurav__, that's where i'd start.
[17:49] <uberamd> chris__: I start at the beginning and work my way to the end. /boot will be at 0-200MB, swap will be from 201-XXXXMB, etc
[17:49] <gaurav__> Studious: I installed the system, but when i restarted the system it didn't boot at all.
[17:49] <uberamd> gaurav__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[17:50] <Studious> gaurav_: go into the bios, and check to make sure the disk that the os is installed is 1st in boot order
[17:51] <gaurav__> Studious: I did that and it was in first boot order. Since when i installed windows server 2008 it booted correctly
[17:51] <gaurav__> Studious: but ubuntu didn't
[17:51] <Studious> gaurav_: when you installed the os, did you format the disk or partition it?
[17:52] <Shadow``> MBR can be somewhere else then where the OS is installed tho
[17:52] <Studious> gaurav_: if you are dual booting with server 2008, then the bootloader grub must be on mbr
[17:52] <chris__> uberamd: do you guys bother encrypting the home folder?
[17:52] <Studious> gaurav_: so you can choose between server 2008 and ubuntu
[17:52] <uberamd> chris__: nada. It lets me access it from other accounts if needed
[17:53] <gaurav__> Studious:i also tried boot-repair utility it also didn;t hempled me
[17:53] <Shadow``> its more for shared systems or when u have really important data someone might want to steal
[17:54] <gaurav__> Studious:i want to use ubuntu anyhow. because ubuntu is faster and more responsive than windows.
[17:54] <Studious> gaurav_: what happens when you turn the server on? just hangs with black screen or does it show/say anything
[17:54] <Shadow``> lol
[17:55] <gaurav__> Studious:i am dual booting with windows 2008. Server boots into windows
[17:56] <Studious> gaurav_: so then you need to edit boot.ini in windows to include the ubuntu partition in the menuentry bootorder
[17:56] <Studious> gaurav_: this way you can select ubuntu on server bootup
[17:57] <gaurav__> Studious: one more information i want give at this moment. The server has EFI in it.
[17:58] <Studious> gaurav_: Oh does it? so then now do this... you need to go open your fridge, take a egg, bring a screwdriver, open the server, and cook me an ommlette.
[17:58] <theannihilator> when is ubuntu going to rolling release?
[17:59] <Pici> theannihilator: never.
[17:59] <Shadow``> but if u install ubuntu after windows, grub should have windows added in its boot menu :/
[17:59] <Shadow``> run debian sid
[17:59] <Shadow``> thats a rolling release
[17:59] <uberamd> theannihilator: Ubuntu should never be a rolling release, much like Fedora
[17:59] <acer> how do i run this command on ubuntu 12.04: setenv CPP_FLAGS -I/usr/local/include/  , because setenv doesnt exist
[17:59] <chris__> uberamd: all looks to be working, thanks for you help bud
[17:59] <uberamd> chris__: no prob, enjoy :)
[18:00] <theannihilator> i always have to reinstall ubuntu cause i get update failures...
[18:00] <gaurav__> Studious: I am sorry if i offended you.
[18:00] <Shadow``> if u get a linux distro working, dont touch it =p
[18:00] <uberamd> Shadow`: ain't that the truth
[18:00] <theannihilator> so ubuntu is not for me lol
[18:00] <theannihilator> i like bleeding edge
[18:00] <uberamd> Shadow`: to expand, don't reboot it either
[18:01] <Shadow``> theannihilator then get Debian Sid
[18:01] <uberamd> Debian Sid or Mint LMDE
[18:01] <Shadow``> that one is always upto date for the latest and the greatest
[18:01] <dr_willis> i reinstall every relese to clean out the crud i hear= about and install from being in here. ;)
[18:01] <Shadow``> uberamd: i rather not reboot any working production system :p
[18:01] <Shadow``> 2 weeks ago i had a successfull upgrade from 8.04 to 12.04 tho
[18:01] <uberamd> Shadow`: We rarely do and a VMware outage yesterday caused a bunch of servers to come back up with read-only file systems
[18:02] <dr_willis> bbl
[18:02] <Imprint> My unity 3d isn't working, but while booting up with the iso cd, unity 3d works, any suggestions?
[18:02] <uberamd> Shadow`: it only impacted ones with > 200 days of uptime. FIgure that one out.
[18:02] <Shadow``> uberamd not windows 98?
[18:02] <Shadow``> :P
[18:02] <uberamd> Shadow`: Debian :P
[18:02] <Shadow``> debian?
[18:03] <Shadow``> stable?
[18:03] <uberamd> Shadow`: Yeah, it was odd. Every 200 day uptime server resumed on the vmware cluster with 1000 load and read-only fs
[18:03] <Shadow``> uberamd: very weird :/ but yea i bet its a b to figure that one out
[18:03] <rax-> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2046544 updated post at the bottom, any help would be appreciated
[18:04] <uberamd> Shadow`: yea: http://i.imgur.com/422bo.png lolol
[18:04] <Shadow``> never had uptime issues with debian tho, at least as server... its a horrid client distro
[18:04] <javierf_> can't figure out why if I duplicate an icon theme, the second one, which is supposed (and it is) to be a copy of the first one, looks totally different when applied
[18:05] <Shadow``> uberamd: highest load i've seen =p
[18:05] <Imprint> I installed Ubuntu and My unity 3d isn't working, but while booting up with the iso CD unity 3d works, any suggestions?
[18:06] <Shadow``> install drivers
[18:06] <kubanc> i'm trying to install ubuntu over USb key, and i cannot get any picture on my LCD. Any idea?
[18:06] <Imprint> Imprint I installed drivers, but nothing is working so far
[18:07] <Shadow``> check your xorg.conf, usually GPU acceleration isnt setup properly
[18:07] <Imprint> Shadow Ok how do I set up GPU accelerations correctly?
[18:08] <Shadow``> depends on your GPU
[18:08] <gaurav__> Please can someone explain me why ubuntu doesn't boot after install on EFI partition on the server.
[18:08] <Shadow``> did ur win2k8 boot gaurav__?
[18:08] <gaurav__> Shadow``:  Yes
[18:09] <Shadow``> and u installed ubuntu after win2k8?
[18:09] <jklowden> Hi, I just installed LTS server on virtualbox, and can't install X.  sudo apt-get install xorg (or anything else) fails with "Unable to locate package".  sources.list includes "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise multiverse".  What to do?
[18:09] <Shadow``> jklowden: open your sources.list
[18:09] <Shadow``> remove ur CD line
[18:10] <Shadow``> or comment it out rather
[18:10] <gaurav__> Shadow` `  :  Yes. I tried both the methods.
[18:10] <jklowden> Thanks.  It prefers CD because it's first?
[18:10] <Shadow``> yeah
[18:10] <Shadow``> it wont go to others
[18:10] <Shadow``> gaurav__: try to make a bootable USB with grub, configure it to boot Win2k8 and Ubuntu from the disks?
[18:10] <amr_> drivers app didn't open on my ubuntu 12 ,any advice?
[18:11] <NoCode> Will the alt. image work for USB key as well as the desktop version?
[18:11] <NoCode> for installing.
[18:11] <Shadow``> all bootable ISO's can be set for USB installs
[18:12] <NoCode> So is the alternate image a bootable image?
[18:12] <gaurav__> Shadow``  :  We have two servers. So then i always have to use the same methods for both?
[18:12] <Shadow``> no but it is a way to figure out if you can make it bootable from grub
[18:12] <Shadow``> then use grub as bootloader
[18:12] <gaurav__> ok
[18:13] <jklowden> Nope, no cd line.  "grep '^deb[^-]' /etc/apt/sources.list | grep -i cd" returns nothing.
[18:13] <Shadow``> just cat it :P
[18:13] <NoCode> i have no idea who you're talking to
[18:13] <Pici> !who
[18:13] <NoCode> so i'll just use the desktop image
[18:13] <gaurav__> Shadow`` : Thanks for the help extended. I will try and then post the results here again. Thank you very much for your time.
[18:14] <Shadow``> just take the desktop image indeed NoCode
[18:14] <Shadow``> no prob gaurav__, good luck :)
[18:14] <NoCode> Okay, thanks.
[18:14] <jklowden> Shadow, you want to see the whole thing here?
[18:14] <NoCode> is 64bit just as good as 32bit? Is there much difference between both?
[18:15] <Shadow``> theres only repos in your sources.list?
[18:15] <Shadow``> NoCode if you got a 64bit chipset, get the 64bit
[18:15] <NoCode> okay.
[18:15] <jklowden> Shadow, everything starting with "deb" is http.
[18:16] <hamdy> Hi, I've  a laptop with nvidia graphics card , and I've removed the propriatery driver from my system and installed the binary driver from nvidia .... Now suspend causing system to crash and more over I can't re-install the propriatery driver any suggestions?
[18:16] <Shadow``> try apt-cache search xorg
[18:16] <Shadow``> or possibly, apt-cache update before
[18:16] <NoCode> !install > NoCode
[18:18] <baxter001> Does anyone know why I can't find dnotifiy in 12.04? Is there an alternative?
[18:18] <NoCode> Should I install Ubuntu first then install Windows?
[18:18] <NoCode> !dualboot
[18:18] <black_13> how do a post-installation change to see the name of my ubuntu system to belong to certain domain and to not use the dhcp to change the hostname?
[18:18] <Shadow``> windows first, then ubuntu NoCode
[18:18] <baxter001> *dnotify
[18:18] <Shadow``> easier, no effort in setting your boot manager ;) ubuntu/grub will take care of booting windows for you (usually)
[18:20] <jklowden> Shadow that yields 6 answers, including libx11-6, which seems close.  I just want the client side libraries so I can use an exported display.  I'm not running an X server on the vm.
[18:20] <Imprint> Shadow so with the xorg.config how do you change that to get the 3d to work?
[18:21] <Shadow``> Imprint what GPU you got?
[18:21] <Imprint> Shadow how to you find that?
[18:21] <Shadow``> lshw | grep GPU?
[18:22] <NoCode> How much space should I give Ubuntu
[18:22] <Shadow``> depends, i'd give it several dozen tho
[18:22] <anshul> NoCode : 50 GB should be fine... the more the better
[18:22] <NoCode> I am going for 50gb Windows, 4gb SWAP, 46gb Ubuntu?
[18:23] <Shadow``> windows 7 on 50gb?
[18:23] <Imprint> Shadow my gpu is a NVidia GeForce GT 525M
[18:23] <Shadow``> if thats going to be your main OS, you'll run into space problems after a while tho :P
[18:23] <anshul> how much space do you have ?
[18:23] <NoCode> Shadow`, That's my current installation and I've had it for a few years.
[18:23] <Shadow``> Imprint: download the nvidia drivers?
[18:23] <Shadow``> heh, lucky man with tiny winsxs folder =p
[18:24] <jklowden> Shadow, apt-cache search xorg yields these installed (?) packages: libxdmcp6 libxmuu1 libxext6 libx11-6 libx11-data libxau6.
[18:24] <Imprint> Shadow'': Ya I did that, but didn't work
[18:24] <NoCode> I've using 35gb up on my windows partition
[18:24] <Shadow``> it does depend on how you use it NoCode
[18:24] <Shadow``> if it works so far, keep on doing so
[18:25] <Shadow``> jklowden: ye X11 is usually already installed :/
[18:25] <anshul> how to open .msg files  ?
[18:25] <Shadow``> vi
[18:25] <NoCode> Yah, so i'll just make a 5gb partition since I only use 35.5gb on my windows partition. 50gb for my Ubuntu, 4gb Swap, and the rest DATA
[18:25] <anshul> gedit shows hes stuff
[18:25] <anshul> *hex
[18:25] <mcdan> hi. how to add alias properly ? I typed  one under other alias (in .bashrc) to test and it worked but is there any else way to have the same thing ?
[18:26] <NoCode> er  50gb!
[18:26] <amr_> can any one help me install latest gnome on my ubutnu 12?
[18:26] <NoCode> Will it matter where I place my SWAP file?
[18:26] <Shadow``> NoCode: go for it, ubuntu should work fine on 30-40gb
[18:26] <jrib> mcdan: that's how you do it...
[18:27] <Shadow``> NoCode: same disk, no, if you can on the outside ring of your drive
[18:27] <NoCode> As an example, will it be faster to put the SWAP file first then the rest of the partitions?
[18:27] <Shadow``> NoCode first is usually outside rings of your disk
[18:27] <Shadow``> outside is the fastest part
[18:27] <NoCode> okay sweet.
[18:27] <NoCode> Thanks bud.
[18:28] <HammerFall> hey
[18:28] <mcdan> jrib : I discover linux and wanted to change prompt colors. I found these alias so I wonder what if I add others, that's all ;)
[18:28] <Shadow``> mcdan you can add as many aliasses as you want

[18:29] <dr_willis> if you are worrying about the position of swap to gain speed... ti me to get moar ram ;)
[18:29] <mcdan> Shadow`` : yea but what's the best way ?
[18:29] <HammerFall> I have problems with uploading music to my ipod using rhythmbox/banshee. It is connected, I can move files to it and it says "syncronizing", but after disconnecting the ipod music is not there. any hints?
[18:29] <v2zz> i still have 2d desktop working fine
[18:29] <Shadow``> mcdan same as you added the first alias, in your .bashrc
[18:30] <Shadow``> dr_willis not everyone has that option tho, just put it on outside of disk for best performance, heh
[18:30] <abyss42> Hi guys, I am getting a  407  Proxy Authentication Required whenever i try to download anything from apt-get. How do i fix it?
[18:30] <NoCode> Hope I can get this HP dm3 working well with Ubuntu
[18:30] <Shadow``> good luck NoCode =p
[18:30] <dr_willis> Shadow``:  spread it across sewveral disk even better. ;)
[18:30] <NoCode> Shadow``, That didn't feel enticing. lol
[18:31] <mcdan> Shadow`` : really? I thought it wouldn't be so easy. thanks
[18:31] <Shadow``> mcdan :P
[18:31] <Shadow``> dr_willis true, preferably other disk from ur OS, but seems he only has one, heh
[18:31] <dr_willis> put swap on a nfs ;P
[18:32] <TimothyA> anyone here happens to know by chance on how to convert a software (mdadm) RAID1 setup to RAID0?
[18:32]  * jrib is curious how much ram he is
[18:32] <TimothyA> or knows of a resource or tutorial I can read to do such a thing?
[18:32] <NoCode> what's that liveusb program that i can use to partition a disc?
[18:32] <Shadow``> NoCode: gparted?
[18:33] <NoCode> yesh!
[18:34] <NoCode> I once was a Linux user for 6 straight years then I tried a non-lts and it twouldn't work on this laptop. so I was left with windows
[18:34] <dr_willis> the gparted live cd is a handy cd to have around
[18:34] <NoCode> now i need to get my hands dirty again
[18:34] <Shadow``> heh true dr_willis :P got a whole usb harddrive laying around with various usb boot tools
[18:35] <Shadow``> cant go without hiren!
[18:35] <Shadow``> still sucks i cant just boot the linux iso's and install from like with windows -.-
[18:35] <Shadow``> stupid disk checks in the initial setup fail
[18:35] <NoCode> so in other words, i forget most of what i learned.
[18:36] <Shadow``> heh
[18:36] <Shadow``> been there NoCode :P
[18:36] <Shadow``> havent used linux much recent years untill a few months ago
[18:36] <NoCode> I do know that, moon-buggy is one of the greatest, high graphic games out there.
[18:37] <kubanc> what's the best for SSD? ext4 or ext3?
[18:37] <Shadow``> ext1
[18:37] <xNbtx> ch irc please ?
[18:37] <xNbtx> I'm looking for the french IRC please
[18:37] <NoCode> !francais
[18:37] <fidel> !fr > xNbtx
[18:37] <xNbtx> thx
[18:38] <abyss42> Hi guys, I am getting a  407  Proxy Authentication Required whenever i try to download anything from apt-get. How do i fix it?
[18:38] <NoCode> oui oui
[18:39] <Shadow``> abyss42: http://askubuntu.com/questions/88976/407-proxy-authentication-required
[18:39] <Shadow``> ?
[18:41] <NoCode> I won't have any problems making partitions(especially ntfs windows 7 partition) with gparted, correct?
[18:42] <alnuvola> buonasera
[18:42] <MonkeyDust> !it
[18:42] <mcdan> Shadow``: I added d='sudo apt-get update' and g='sudo apt-get upgrade' but when I mix the 2 commands (d & g), I have something like : "[3]+  Stopped                                   sudo apt-get update" . What is it ?
[18:43] <NoCode> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:43] <baizon> mcdan: paste it on http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[18:44] <TimothyA> anyone?
[18:44] <Slart> NoCode: I haven't had any problems doing that
[18:45] <TimothyA> anyone here knows how I can change an RAID1 setup into an RAID0 one?
[18:45] <Slart> NoCode: well.. besides the old "no way to fix the file system if you run into problems with it"-problem.. but I'm guessing you have a windows system where you can do that
[18:45] <Somelauw> In the menu, system, user and groups, advanced settings, user privileges. Can someone tell me which items are enabled in that menu?
[18:45] <Somelauw> By default?
[18:45] <NoCode> Slart, I am on Windows, yea. But currently downloading Ubuntu as we speak.
[18:46] <Slart> NoCode: you know you can't install regular ubuntu on a ntfs partition right?
[18:47] <NoCode> Slart, Yeah I know.
[18:47] <NoCode> !info ntfs3g
[18:47] <NoCode> !info ntfs-3g
[18:51] <Jnco> hi
[18:51] <Somelauw> Anyone?
[18:53] <mcdan> baizon : sure. Here it is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176446/
[18:54] <TimothyA> people, not even page 20 of the google results are helping me; I'm desperate!
[18:54] <dr_willis> theres always askubuntu.com
[18:55] <dr_willis> but i never saw the original question...
[18:55] <TimothyA> dr_willis: the question has gone unanswered for quite some time
[18:55] <Newtoubuntu> are there any mass recommended codec packs?
[18:55] <TimothyA> dr_willis: basically the host provider tossed me a server with a RAID1 consuming 1TB of valuable harddiskspace... which I want to reclaim.
[18:55] <zykotick9> Newtoubuntu: ubuntu-restricted-extras then w32codecs (or w64codecs) from medibuntu if you need more.
[18:55] <dr_willis> Newtoubuntu:  thats windows thinking.. install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'  and vlc and thats about all you need
[18:56] <TimothyA> preferably I would want to convert this to RAID0, or 2 partitions (Although doing it in a single partition would be preferred)
[18:56] <dr_willis> i rarely even need w32codecs package these days
[18:56] <zykotick9> TimothyA: backup the data.  delete the old RAID, create the new one, restore the data.
[18:56] <Newtoubuntu> yeah i have vlc and the restricted extras already. thanks guys
[18:56] <wan26> you can optionally decline ms core fonts ha
[18:56] <TimothyA> zykotick9: problem is that the hosting provider installed the OS on the RAID..
[18:57] <silverarrow> dr_willis, gecko and mplayer is still dendent on w32?
[18:57] <Newtoubuntu> dr_willis, i ran across it on a site specifically recommended for my ubuntu version
[18:57] <dr_willis> silverarrow:  not used those in ages
[18:57] <silverarrow> dr_willis, only totem?
[18:57] <dr_willis> silverarrow:  vlc, and xbmc here
[18:57] <silverarrow> I see
[18:58] <silverarrow> I can`t make vlc work that well
[18:58] <Newtoubuntu> xbmc is solid gold
[18:58] <Newtoubuntu> vlc as well
[18:58] <dr_willis> if you like xbmc check out 'plex' sometime.
[18:58] <Newtoubuntu> will do
[18:58] <dr_willis> and the openelec media player distro
[18:58] <silverarrow> dr_willis, I still have two old laptops I keep alive, one ppc, so I have to get inventive
[18:58] <histo> Newtoubuntu: ubuntu-restricted-extras should pull all the codecs you could need
[18:59] <silverarrow> Newtoubuntu, I have trouble using VLC in browser
[18:59] <Newtoubuntu> silverarrow, firefox browser im assuming?
[18:59] <silverarrow> gnome mplayer -gecko is flawless on regular pc almost any specs
[18:59] <silverarrow> Newtoubuntu, yes
[19:00] <dr_willis> i use a flash-replacer extension so even flash videos play in vlc here
[19:00] <Somelauw> In the menu, system, user and groups, advanced settings, user privileges. Can someone tell me which items are enabled there?
[19:00] <silverarrow> dr_willis, I lost flash video replacer in FF today
[19:00] <veric> Vid help still it seems that i am in stalling flash plugin with no problem but i am missing the flash player im on 12.04 with firefox
[19:00] <Newtoubuntu> dr_willis, i didnt even have to change anything and i have flv playing fine
[19:01] <silverarrow> dr_willis, I have VLC but have trouble with the browser embedded stuff
[19:01] <TimothyA> zykotick9: it's a fresh install, btw
[19:01] <dr_willis> silverarrow:  the author took it off the ff extension page. no idea why. not really tried it in a few weeks
[19:01] <Newtoubuntu> silverarrow, maybe reboot?
[19:01] <dr_willis> i rsrely want to play it embeded
[19:01] <silverarrow> Newtoubuntu, oh, I have rebooted
[19:02] <Newtoubuntu> i am loving cairo dock on here. ive used rocketdock for windows before. this one is more polished and animated
[19:02] <silverarrow> dr_willis, flash video replacer streams very nicely though, hope it is kept alive
[19:02] <silverarrow> a savior for ppc
[19:02] <halakar> hey guise....i can't login to my account on ubuntu 12.04lts.  after i put the password in, the screen goes blank and i'm returned to the login screen.  halp
[19:03] <Newtoubuntu> oh boy another intel user xD
[19:03] <veric> is flash plugin and flash player 2 different packages?
[19:03] <dr_willis> halakar:  use the console. login , try renameing y6our .Xauthority file. then try logging into with lightdm again
[19:03] <Somelauw> Can someone pastebin the output of cat /etc/groups?
[19:03] <ikonia> Somelauw: why /
[19:03] <nannes> !ping
[19:04] <M4rc3l> pong!
[19:04] <halakar> where's the .Xauthoritey file at?  ~ ?
[19:04] <dr_willis> yes......
[19:04] <ikonia> !ping
[19:04] <M4rc3l> pong!
[19:04] <ikonia> halakar: normally your home drive
[19:04] <ikonia> M4rc3l: is that a script ?
[19:04] <halakar> ok i'll try
[19:04] <ikonia> halakar: home directory sorry
[19:04] <Somelauw> ikonia: I think I am missing some permissions. I'm looking for a reasonable default.
[19:04] <ikonia> typo
[19:05] <halakar> brb
[19:05] <ikonia> Somelauw: why do you think you're missing permissions ? just explain the problem
[19:05] <kanliot> i run this command and it returns "killed"  why?  find / -name "Star\ Trek\ DS9\ -"*
[19:05] <ikonia> M4rc3l: is that a script ? (the response to ping)
[19:06] <ikonia> kanliot: why have you got a * at the end ?
[19:06] <ikonia> !ping
[19:06] <M4rc3l> pong!
[19:06] <kanliot> ikonia, because i want to find files by name, multiple files
[19:06] <silverarrow> tabletennis
[19:06] <ikonia> kanliot: ok, that's the wrong syntax
[19:07] <kubanc> is there any program to auto mount partition in ubuntu 12.04?
[19:07] <devish> !ping
[19:07] <ikonia> it's 'deep space 9 *' not "deep space 9"*
[19:07] <silverarrow> lol
[19:07] <devish> ikonia: probaly set for you
[19:07] <ikonia> devish: what ?
[19:08] <dr_willis> kubanc:  make a fstabbb entry for them
[19:08] <dr_willis> !fstab
[19:08] <kanliot> ikonia, i fixed it, and it still says "killed" when i run it as root
[19:08] <ikonia> kanliot: how are you running as root ? there is no root account ?
[19:08] <veric> anyone avaliable to help me with getting flash running right?
[19:08] <kanliot> sudo su
[19:08] <ikonia> !flash | veric
[19:09] <ikonia> kanliot: why ?
[19:09] <kanliot> ikonia sudo su
[19:09] <ikonia> kanliot: you shouldn't be doing that
[19:09] <SolarisBoy> lols
[19:09] <zykotick9> kanliot: "sudo su" is always a bad idea
[19:09] <ikonia> that's what sudo is there for
[19:09] <SolarisBoy> haha "its a bad idea"
[19:09] <telemaster000> Heya.
[19:09] <dr_willis> and thats being nice about it
[19:09] <ikonia> kanliot: please show me the exact command you are using ?
[19:10] <kanliot>  find  -name "Star\ Trek\ DS9\ -*"
[19:10] <Treaver> "Sudo su" allows you to access super user without entering a password. This will be active for as long as the terminal is open. Any program you open with Sudo Su will have super user privileges and could mess your Ubuntu Operating System up.
[19:10] <ikonia> kanliot: no
[19:10] <kanliot>  find  / -name "Star\ Trek\ DS9\ -*"
[19:10] <SolarisBoy> its always depending on the environment
[19:10] <SolarisBoy> but yea - w/e
[19:10] <ikonia> kanliot: a.) you're using quotes b.) you're exapcing a quoted setup
[19:10] <zykotick9> kanliot: if i where you i'd use "find / -iname ..." so case isn't an issue
[19:10] <ikonia> kanliot: I gave you an example
[19:10] <ikonia> kanliot: why have you not used it
[19:10] <dr_willis> 'sudo su' is bad form. you should use sudo -i  or sudo -s for a root shell
[19:11] <kanliot> ikonia, i removed the backslashes, same error
[19:11] <SolarisBoy> heh
[19:11] <dingbatfoo> anyone having problems with git prompt after recent git update?
[19:11] <ikonia> kanliot: and the quotes
[19:11] <kubanc> how do i sop X server so i can install Nvidia drivers?
[19:11] <ikonia> kanliot: single quotes
[19:12] <ikonia> kanliot: use the package manager, it does it all for you
[19:12]  * Tigger__` is away: Gotta go, Dinners ready, take care & be well, I will bbs! TTFN!! Hoo hoo hoo hoo :D
[19:12] <ikonia> kanliot: sorry that was for dingbatfoo
[19:12] <dr_willis> kubanc:  you have tried the nvidia drivers from the repos?
[19:12] <kanliot> ikonia same error
[19:12] <SolarisBoy> this is about environments? dr_willis ?
[19:12] <ikonia> Tigger__`: please disable that ascript
[19:12] <dr_willis> SolarisBoy:  you got it.
[19:12] <ikonia> kanliot: please show me the exact command you are using
[19:12] <SolarisBoy> sudo su hasn't bitten me yet but i feel ya
[19:13] <Tigger__`> ikonia: ok will do ;-)
[19:13] <ikonia> Tigger__`: thanks
[19:13] <SolarisBoy> theres always that extra dash you can add or leave off of su
[19:13] <kanliot> find / -name 'Star Trek DS9 -*'
[19:13] <kanliot> after sudo su
[19:13] <dingbatfoo> ikonia, what? how does the package manager help with "__git_ps1: command not found" after the recent Pangolin git version upgrade?
[19:13] <oleksiyp> when i was trying to install nvidia drivers from nvidia site i had to disable gdm. read manual about how to do it.
[19:13] <ikonia> kanliot: so even after being told not to use sudo su, you're still dong it
[19:13] <dr_willis> kanliot:  why are you even doinf this as root?
[19:13] <kubanc> dr_willis, do i find them in ubuntu Software center?
[19:14] <SolarisBoy> now for running find there is no need to switch to root
[19:14] <SolarisBoy> just run it under sudo
[19:14] <dr_willis> kubanc:  yes..... dont use the ones from nvidia.com unnless you have to...
[19:14] <stan_man_can> How do i make sudo crontab -e open in vim not nano?
[19:14] <kanliot> ikonia, even after loggin out of su it still says killed
[19:14] <dr_willis> kubanc:  run 'gksudo jockey-gtk' or the 'addational drivers' tool from the menus
[19:14] <ikonia> stan_man_can: set EDITOR
[19:15] <ikonia> kanliot: works fine here
[19:15] <stan_man_can> ikonia: I've tried export EDITOR=vim but it's still not working. Do I need to set it for the sudo in a different location?
[19:15] <ikonia> kanliot: got knows what you've done to your machine.
[19:15]  * Tigger__` is back (gone 00:03:24)
[19:15] <kubanc> dr_willis, which one do i install. xt4 on an SSD WITHOUT
[19:15] <SolarisBoy> stan_man_can: those variables are for users
[19:15] <SolarisBoy> so if you need to make it global you should
[19:15] <ikonia> Tigger__`: Please remove that script, I won't ask again
[19:16] <ikonia> stan_man_can: sudo visudo should do it
[19:16] <dr_willis> kubanc:  hard drive type dosent matter.. no idea what an xt4 is...
[19:16] <kubanc> dr_willis, i have this options snag.gy/mAJYi.jpg
[19:16] <TheLordOfTime> how do i add an ntfs partition to fstab so that it is mounted so anyone on the system can use the files (not just root)
[19:16] <Tigger__`> ikonia: I have just removed it ;-)
[19:16] <stan_man_can> SolarisBoy: How do I make it global?
[19:16] <SolarisBoy> TheLordOfTime: use uid/gid options in mount
[19:16] <SolarisBoy> stan_man_can: /etc/profile
[19:16] <dr_willis> kubanc:  i just install whats reccomended
[19:16] <rethus> i have 12.04, but this package is not in repository: http://support.no-ip.com/customer/portal/articles/363247-installing-the-linux-dynamic-update-client-on-ubuntu
[19:17] <ikonia> rethus: ok ? and ?
[19:17] <rethus> ikonia: and i need to know why? have i to add some repositories for it?
[19:17] <dr_willis> TheLordOfTime:  the ntfs-config tool csan auto mate it. the ntfs-3g homepage has docs and examples.. and the ubuntu wiki pages
[19:17] <dr_willis> !ntfs-3g
[19:17] <rethus> why thes describe it, if it not be
[19:17] <SolarisBoy> or just do that...
[19:18] <ikonia> rethus: it's not an ubuntu package, you're using a 3rd party guide,
[19:18] <ikonia> !info noip2
[19:18] <rethus> The DUC package is already included in the source tree for most distributions of Ubuntu Linux;
[19:18] <ikonia> !info no-ip
[19:18] <rethus> this on the page of the developer
[19:18] <ikonia> rethus: well, it's not in ubuntu
[19:19] <rethus> wonder why he write this
[19:19] <stan_man_can> SolarisBoy: I added EDITOR=vim in the /etc/profile and still opening in nano
[19:19] <ikonia> ask him
[19:19] <SolarisBoy> stan_man_can: did you export it in profile?
[19:20] <stan_man_can> SolarisBoy: so in the profile I add the line export EDITOR=vim, not just EDITOR=vim ?
[19:20] <SolarisBoy> AFAIK when you first set a cron job ubuntu opens a menu list and asks which editor you want to use by number selection, eg nano vim.tiny etc
[19:20] <SolarisBoy> stan_man_can: yes
[19:20] <SolarisBoy> so that EDITOR=vim for everyone
[19:20] <stan_man_can> SolarisBoy: Well I may have chosen nano a long time ago but I'd like to change it to vim now
[19:20] <SolarisBoy> ok
[19:20] <TheLordOfTime> dr_willis:  the ntfs-config tool is triggering segfaults
[19:21] <SolarisBoy> just use fstab
[19:21] <stan_man_can> SolarisBoy: export EDITOR=vim didn't help either
[19:21] <ikonia> stan_man_can: set it to vi
[19:21] <SolarisBoy> yea
[19:21] <SolarisBoy> u prolly dont have vim installed
[19:21] <dr_willis> TheLordOfTime:  time to read the guides then..
[19:21] <SolarisBoy> but you do have vi installed
[19:22] <ikonia> doesn't ubuntu do something with the build option of vim to set the binary name to vi, rather than vim and symlink like the other distros
[19:22] <SolarisBoy> i dont think so ikonia
[19:22] <antimon> update-alternatives --config editor might help
[19:22] <kubanc> how do i cnahe default remote port in ubuntu 12.04?
[19:22] <SolarisBoy> it just installs vi
[19:22] <SolarisBoy> antimon: also correct
[19:22] <ikonia> SolarisBoy: if you look at vi - it's actually vim
[19:22] <SolarisBoy> not for me it wasn't
[19:22] <ikonia> SolarisBoy: so you have vim on your machine ?
[19:22] <rox> stan_man_can: try this: update-alternatives --config editor
[19:23] <dr_willis> vim tiny  by default i  thought
[19:23] <rox> stan_man_can: then choose vim
[19:23] <SolarisBoy> ikonia: yes
[19:23] <SolarisBoy> ikonia: because i installed it after
[19:23] <ikonia> SolarisBoy: so you actually have the vim binary ?
[19:23] <SolarisBoy> i compile it yes
[19:23] <SolarisBoy> *compiled it
[19:23] <rox> stan_man_can: sudo apt-get install vim, if you don't have vim isntalled
[19:23] <stan_man_can> rox: that WAS set to /bin/nano before, now i've changed it to /usr/bin/vim.basic but it's still opening in nano
[19:23] <ikonia> SolarisBoy: right - you compiled it so of course you've go tit
[19:23] <stan_man_can> rox: i do have vim i use it all the time
[19:23] <SolarisBoy> ikonia: thats what im saying dude...
[19:23] <ikonia> SolarisBoy: re-read what I said the ubuntu package build vim with the vi vinary
[19:23] <SolarisBoy> its NOT installed vi is
[19:24] <ikonia> binary
[19:24] <SolarisBoy> and setting it to vim is a fail if so
[19:24] <SolarisBoy> thats all
[19:24] <rox> SolarisBoy: why didn't you just install it from the package repository?
[19:24] <ikonia> SolarisBoy: the vi binary is vim
[19:24] <SolarisBoy> i like patches and updates
[19:24] <SolarisBoy> and when i did it i was using a version repos didn't have
[19:24] <ikonia> what ?
[19:24] <stan_man_can> That is set to vim now but it's still using nano… do i need to run anything to update it or what
[19:24] <zeref> hi guys, so I'm having some trouble with compiz, its keeps on segfaulting when I'm working on different program, anybody these kind of errors from compiz?
[19:24] <rox> stan_man_can: what is nano?
[19:24] <SolarisBoy> anothe editor
[19:25] <stan_man_can> rox: a terrible editor
[19:25] <rox> stan_man_can: i know what nano is, i ment to ask, in what situations does nano get run instead of vim?
[19:25] <stan_man_can> rox: sudo crontab -e
[19:25] <rox> stan_man_can: update-alternatives should have sorted the situation out for you
[19:25] <SolarisBoy> heh
[19:26] <PatrikOlsson> Hello. I need help with fixing the partitions for my computer. I have two disks. One 24 GB SSD and one 500 GB normal hard drive. I figured I would put ubuntu on the SSD disk, but I'm unsure on how to fix with all partitions (swap, bios, root and such). Can anyone help me with this?
[19:26] <SolarisBoy> what ? what? is it alarming that vim is out of date on ubuntu?
[19:26] <ikonia> PatrikOlsson: what do you mean, fix it ?
[19:26] <SolarisBoy> shouldn't be
[19:26] <ikonia> how is it broke ?
[19:26] <ikonia> SolarisBoy: what are you on about ?
[19:27] <SolarisBoy> and vi is whats generally installed on most systems - if ubuntu compiled vim as vi - great
[19:27] <ikonia> no
[19:27] <SolarisBoy> wont make the EDITOR=vim command work though
[19:27] <ikonia> vi is not installed on most systems
[19:27] <ikonia> it's symlink to vim normally
[19:27] <SolarisBoy> not until vim exists
[19:27] <dr_willis> PatrikOlsson: w
[19:27] <ikonia> no it's not
[19:27] <ikonia> there is no vi package
[19:27] <PatrikOlsson> ikonia: I'm unsure which partition to set "Device for boot loader installation". Or if I should select a partition or only the disc. etc.etc.
[19:27] <rox> stan_man_can: try this: update-alternatives --get-selections
[19:28] <rox> stan_man_can: and see, what is set to nano
[19:28] <ikonia> PatrikOlsson: is there a reason you've not gone with the ubuntu suggested partitions ?
[19:28] <dr_willis> boot the ssd.. put grub on the ssd...
[19:28] <shade34321> if I wanted to add something to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH that affects all users, what is the best way to do this?
[19:28] <ikonia> shade34321: you shouldn't need to do that
[19:28] <rox> stan_man_can: maybe one of vi, vim or similar setings is set to nano
[19:29] <PatrikOlsson> ikonia: I did not know there were suggested partitions. When I bought the computer windows had ~5 partitions for backup programs and suchö.
[19:29] <rox> stan_man_can: will you be able to figure out, how to set those settings to vim?
[19:29] <stan_man_can> rox: nope all the in's are set to vim.basic
[19:29] <stan_man_can> rox: the only thing set to nano is pico
[19:29] <ikonia> PatrikOlsson: when you boot the installer it says "use free space" or "use whole disk"
[19:29] <ikonia> PatrikOlsson: those are suggeted layouts
[19:29] <rox> stan_man_can: hmm, what if you run vim.basic?
[19:29] <rox> stan_man_can: could that be a symlink to nano?
[19:29] <shade34321> ikonia: I installed something from source in /opt, should it do it on it's own?
[19:29] <stan_man_can> roxL: opens up vim
[19:30] <ikonia> shade34321: it shouldn't need to use ldlibrary path as it will have been linked at compile time
[19:30] <amr_> please help ,can't install gnome 3+ on ubuntu 12+ :( ?
[19:30] <shade34321> ikonia: oh ok...is there a way to check this just to be sure?
[19:30] <rox> stan_man_can: ok, then try this trick: sudo apt-get install vim-gtk
[19:30] <ikonia> shade34321: you don't need to check, run the binary, if it runs, it's fine
[19:30] <ubuntu-studio> hello anyone here?
[19:31] <PatrikOlsson> ikonia: I must have missed those :/
[19:31] <PatrikOlsson> ikonia: I'll check it out.
[19:31] <rox> stan_man_can: vim-gtk package gives you vim.gtk, but it should also override your default editor
[19:31] <ubuntu-studio> hello, everyone i have a problem, please help me.
[19:31] <stan_man_can> rox: i'm running a server so there is no gui
[19:31] <rox> stan_man_can: vim.gtk runs in a gui, if you run it from X, but it runs like regular vim, if you run it from colsole
[19:32] <fidel> !ask | ubuntu-studio
[19:32] <rox> stan_man_can: just installing vim-gtk will not harm your server installation
[19:33] <ubuntu-studio> i have decided to drop  windows for good, i am using ubuntu studio live because i cannot install it. it says " no root system"
[19:34] <histo> ubuntu-studio: do you have free space on your drive?
[19:35] <rox> ubuntu-studio: that was a good decision, welcome to our world
[19:35] <ubuntu-studio> "no root file system defined" i am stuck. using usb sandisk but  i deleted all portions on the 650 disk.
[19:35] <rox> ubuntu-studio: in a few months, you won't be able to believe, how windows and apple people cope with so much crap
[19:36] <histo> ubuntu-studio: how are you trying to install?
[19:36] <ubuntu-studio> ...using gparted
[19:36] <SolarisBoy> windows just doesn't work properly
[19:36] <airlynx> This is a shot in the dark for help, but I'm trying to set up my Android tablet to act as a second monitor for my Ubuntu system, I can VNC from the tablet into my Ubuntu system, but it just clones my display.  Anybody have any ideas?
[19:36] <SolarisBoy> airlynx: dont think so
[19:36] <SolarisBoy> i wanted to do that also - main problem is it's detected at most as a storage device no?
[19:37] <dr_willis> airlynx:  a second monitor meaning an extended monitor? or a seperate desktop?
[19:37] <BluesKaj> ubuntu-studio, you have to format the drive to ext4 file system in order to be seen by the live OS
[19:37] <SolarisBoy> BluesKaj: really?
[19:37] <ubuntu-studio> ok i do it now
[19:37] <airlynx> dr_willis, either or would work, just so I can set a window up to display on the tablet just so I can keep an eye on it while I do other things
[19:38] <dakar> hi
[19:38] <dr_willis> airlynx:  use the actual 'vncserver' not x11vnc or gnomes vino. then you can have a dozen+ seperate hidden desktops you connect to
[19:39] <histo> ubuntu-studio: use the installer and it will walk you through partitioning and formating the drive the proper way.
[19:39] <dr_willis> shareiing the 'current' desktop is a specilized case of vnc ussage..one that windows is limited to.. linux can do moar
[19:39] <BluesKaj> SolarisBoy, well , it helps ..no format my act differently on  USB live OS thamn a live cd , but if you have any suggestions for ubuntu-studio , then you're welcome to help :)_
[19:40] <SolarisBoy> yes i would say format the drive as you did
[19:40] <dr_willis> !info tightvnc
[19:40] <dr_willis> !find vncserver
[19:40] <dr_willis> !info tightvncserver
[19:41] <nannes> !ping
[19:41] <airlynx> dr_willis, the Android app I'm using currently doesn't have much for configuration options, I can set up in my VNC settings to send a specific desktop from Ubuntu, correct?
[19:43] <savio> i'm making symbolic link into /usr/local/bin/ but i can't access the command in terminal
[19:43] <ikonia> savio: you'll need to explain clearer than that
[19:44] <maheanuu> I am having a problem downloading torrent videos as VLC opens it's playlist instead of Transmission coming up, I am not seeing the reason for this and I have never tried to open any stream with VLC???
[19:44] <dr_willis> airlynx: you run 'vncserver' get the ip and port #. and put them in the client.
[19:44] <dr_willis> airlynx:  you can set tightvnc to run openbox+xterm only  if you wanted to.
[19:45] <dr_willis> you can then run vncserver 3+ times and have 3+ different 'vnc' desktops going
[19:45] <dr_willis> thr port # will change for each one
[19:45] <savio> ikonia, i was extracted package and to execute the exectuable file i made a link of that file into /usr/local/bin so i can access that executable without goinig into that directory and issuing ./***
[19:45] <creftos_> ls
[19:46] <ikonia> savio: ok, so it's not in your $PATH
[19:46] <creftos_> ignore that, lol
[19:46] <dr_willis> file not found
[19:46] <dr_willis> ;)
[19:46] <savio> but it not working i can't access the name directly in terminal
[19:46] <savio> ikonia, yup
[19:46] <ikonia> savio: so put it in your $PATH
[19:46] <dr_willis> !path
[19:46] <savio> ikonia, it already there
[19:46] <dr_willis> we need a good path factoid
[19:46] <ikonia> savio: please show me ls -la on the binary
[19:47] <dr_willis> savio:  where is it exactly
[19:47] <savio> /opt/
[19:47] <ikonia> savio: please show me ls -la on the binary
[19:47] <dr_willis> thats not in the default $Path last i looked
[19:48] <dr_willis> echo $PATH    to see your current path
[19:48] <savio> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176532/ ikonia
[19:49] <ikonia> savio: and none of those commands are working in htere ?
[19:49] <ikonia> there ?
[19:50] <savio> i was using ln -sf /opt/framewor*/msf3/msf* /usr/local/bin
[19:50] <savio> to access the msf command directly
[19:50] <ikonia> savio: you can't do that, you'll need a link to every binary
[19:50] <savio> but not happening
[19:50] <ikonia> savio: show me ls -la on two of the links in /usr/local/bin
[19:51] <savio> ikonia, i removed them
[19:51] <ikonia> savio: ok, so then you need to create a symlink for every binary in /opt to an individual link in /usr/local/bin
[19:51] <Mike9863> I'm trying to redirect all traffic from one IP to another so that if any program tries to connect to a certain IP, the IP will be modified to a different one of my choosing before it sends any data. How can I do this?
[19:51] <rox> savio: what if you just add /opt/framework/ to yout $PATH?
[19:51] <verty_> hi, anyone here have experience with Netgear WMA1000m?  Does it work for you?
[19:51] <ikonia> savio: you also need to confirm /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH
[19:51] <Ion330HT> Hi everyone, I have an issue trying to update/install nvidia drivers and some of the "online tutorials" aint working or looks like rocket science so  I could use some helps & pointers
[19:51] <[snake]> does anyone know about ddclient?
[19:51] <bakarat> can alt+tab be fixed in unity (ubuntu 12.04)? i have to use windows on the job and making the contextual switch at home is simply not possible
[19:51] <savio> it is ikonia
[19:51] <ikonia> however rox's advice of just putting opt in your $PATH is better
[19:52] <fidel> anyone working with maid ( https://github.com/benjaminoakes/maid ) here? getting error (unsupported system command) while running the test of a simple rule. Feel free to point my to somewhere else if you know a related channel - while i havent found one.
[19:52] <rox> ikonia: /usr/local should never be used
[19:52] <ikonia> rox: what ? /usr/local is fine to you
[19:52] <savio> rox, i don't wnat that
[19:52] <ikonia> savio: then create each symlink manually
[19:52] <black_13> how do you configure ubuntu to not use dhcp to name the computer?
[19:52] <savio> ikonia, rox i will try recreating the link
[19:52] <devanshu> hi all
[19:53] <rox> devanshu: hi
[19:53] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  running the addational-drivers tool (gksudo jockey-gtk) dosent work for you?
[19:53] <Slart> black_13: dhcp to name the computer? what "name" are you talking about?
[19:53] <bakarat> black_13, hmm?
[19:53] <bakarat> black_13, you mean the hostname configured in /etc/hostname?
[19:53] <rox> savio: what is the problem, why wouldn't you want to add the location of the binaries to $PATH?
[19:53] <Jordan_U> savio: Just to confirm, when you think you have everything correctly setup, please pastebin the output of "ls -l /usr/local/; echo $PATH".
[19:53] <savio> ikonia, just for record i try this day ago it was working
[19:54] <Ion330HT> dr_willis: I'm sitting with a clean install at the moment as I managed to screw up my last install (first time running linux and ubuntu)
[19:54] <Ion330HT> dr_willis: I haven't tried that approach. do I just start by writing that stuff in the terminal?
[19:54] <rox> Ion330HT: i wish you have better luck this time
[19:54] <black_13> Slart: i guess the analogue of this is with suse has an installation setting to not base the hostname on dhcp
[19:54] <devanshu> is there anything that needs to be done in order to let other OS connect to an ad-hoc thats created in ubuntu??
[19:54] <rox> Ion330HT: and we'll be there to give you a hand, if anything goes wrong
[19:54] <Ion330HT> rox: thanx
[19:54] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  and your exact video  card is? is this a laptop?  the addational drivers tool is in the menus somewhere...
[19:55] <Ion330HT> Well I am running the nettop Asrock Ion330 HT
[19:55] <Slart> black_13: I'm not entirely sure but I think I setup the hostname when I installed ubuntu.. not sure if it suggested anything else
[19:55] <savio> ikonia, Jordan_U saviola@Saviola-PC:~$ ls -la /usr/local/bin/ |grep msf
[19:55] <savio> lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   31 Aug 31 01:24 msfconsole -> /opt/framework3/msf3/msfconsole
[19:55] <black_13> Slart: i would like to have the hostname and domain name be fixed
[19:55] <Ion330HT> so it's not a laptop, as for the exact nvidia card thats in it the only ionfo I keep getting is that its an nvidia ion one.
[19:55] <savio> /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/saviola/.rvm/bin
[19:56] <dr_willis> so the chipset is an 'ion'   ive no experience with those. ive seen some distros come customeized for ions
[19:56] <Ion330HT> I tried to install the recommended drivers but that did didley squat for me and my computer wasn't recognised by my HD TV
[19:56] <savio> gotcha
[19:56] <dr_willis> i would say check askubuntu.com  about the ion things in ubuntu[.
[19:57] <abdullah> help please - i am unsing asterisk on ubuntu 12.04
[19:57] <abdullah> setup overhead paging in asterisk
[19:57] <savio> thaks for help ikonia rox
[19:57] <Slart> black_13: hmm.. I'm not sure what to suggest.. guess I'll have to play around in a vm and see what happens during install
[19:57] <rox> abdullah: what seems to be your problem?
[19:57] <Ion330HT> I see, I managed to download a nvidia driver that seems to be the right one. When I try to install it I get an error saying that it cannot be installed because the "X" Server is still on. Any atempts to shut it off has failed
[19:57] <abdullah> and getting /dev/dsp error
[19:57] <rox> savio: glad to help
[19:57] <black_13> Slart: thats what i am doing
[19:58] <abdullah> is there any solution to fix it /dev/dsp
[19:58] <savio> but i tried same before restart it was ot working then
[19:58] <savio> why so?
[19:58] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  'sudo service lightdm stop
[19:58] <abdullah> or can i know my sound device logical name
[19:58] <rox> abdullah: you have to specify your setup and the error exactly
[19:58] <devanshu> ad-hoc connection problem???
[19:58] <ubuntu-studio> hello, i have formatted my harddrive to ext4 so the live ubuntu can be installed but in the installation menu it say /dev/sdh and there is a message saying "no root file system defined". i would live to drop windows and use linux for ever please help.
[19:58] <dr_willis> ' to stop x
[19:58] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  'sudo service lightdm stop'
[19:59] <abdullah> thanks rox
[19:59] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  the x-swat ppa may have better drivers also
[19:59] <abdullah> asteriks use console/dsp  to use soundcard output
[19:59] <abdullah> which is linked to /dev/dsp
[19:59] <Ion330HT> Ok so that generated some interesting results. I am looking at a black screen with some text and it seems that it's stuck on "stopping system v runlevel compatability" there is the marker just blinking
[19:59] <abdullah> and /dev/dsp is no more in ubunut
[19:59] <rox> ubuntu-studio: hmm, i don't think i understand what is wrong there
[20:00] <dr_willis> ubuntu-studio:  you are using the installer program? let it partition the drive as needed. no need to preformat
[20:00] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  try alt-ctrl-f1 through f7
[20:00] <ubuntu-studio> rox, im stuck at installation with a "no root file.." message.
[20:01] <dr_willis> ubuntu-studio:  it wants to know what partition to Assign to /
[20:01] <devanshu> same was the problem with me during ubuntu installation as ubuntu-studio.
[20:01] <dr_willis> is the whole hard disk empty?
[20:02] <devanshu> and i'm still wondering why the problem arrived??
[20:02] <abdullah> exten => 111,1,Dial(CONSOLE/dsp)
[20:02] <devanshu> no
[20:02] <Ion330HT> dr_willis: that does nothing. It appears that the process has stopped and I don't have prompt yet
[20:02] <rox> abdullah: try this: sudo apt-get install oss-compat
[20:02]  * jklowden still confused about how to install xorg on LTS with apt-get.
[20:02] <rox> abdullah: and restart asterisk afterwards
[20:02] <abdullah> tried thsi oss-compat but nothing worked
[20:02] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  could be some weirdness with ion and the consoles. you should see a login: prompt
[20:03] <devanshu> thers win7 host os and i'm trying to install ubuntu on to the 3rd drive
[20:03] <rox> abdullah: can you Dial /dev/dsp?
[20:03] <sharket> what i have to do for let ubuntu detect my RAID, in the installation ?
[20:03] <Ion330HT> is there a simple way that I can boot directly to prompt?
[20:03] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  you could boot to recovery, or text mode and run that installer
[20:03] <abdullah> no
[20:03] <dr_willis> !text | Ion330HT
[20:03] <abdullah> even /dev/dsp is miising
[20:03] <rox> abdullah: it seems, that you are trying to dial through your sound device
[20:03] <dr_willis>  /dev/dsp i thought has been gone for years
[20:04] <rox> abdullah: i don't think that can be done
[20:04] <[snake]> where does ufw save logs after you enable them?
[20:04] <dr_willis> dsp = the sound card   ages ago
[20:04] <rox> abdullah: what are you trying to achieve?
[20:04] <abdullah> i wnat that i call  from my sip extention and it should announce on my sound card
[20:04] <abdullah> this is called overhead paging
[20:05] <rox> abdullah: you should be dialing calling Dial(SIP/number@provider), not Dial(dsp)
[20:05] <rox> abdullah: and, why don't you just use the alsa device?
[20:06] <afternet> mn
[20:06] <rox> abdullah: if you want to hear the announcement on your speaker, then just have asterisk use you alsa devices
[20:06] <rox> abdullah: LMGTFY
[20:06] <savio> >> what this operator used for
[20:06] <rox> savio: it appends to file
[20:06] <abdullah> http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Setting+up+paging+with+a+sound+card
[20:07] <TimothyA> is there a way to dismantle the RAID system on a live system?
[20:07] <rox> savio: for example $ echo foo >> file.txt will append the string "foo" to the end of the content of file file.txt
[20:07] <abdullah> i have spent 7 days and nights without any result
[20:07] <savio> rox can you provide me a useful link to all operator
[20:07] <abdullah> then i decided to join irc
[20:07] <abdullah> please guide how to use alsa on ubuntu 12.04
[20:08] <abdullah> one more thing /dev/dsp is available on ubunut 8.04 and earlier versions
[20:08] <zykotick9> abdullah: if you have sound, you are usning alsa
[20:08] <macer1> hello
[20:08] <abdullah> probelm is in newer releases
[20:08] <macer1> what network monitor can you recommend?
[20:08] <ubuntu-studio> dr_willis,  how do i assign a partition to / in u-studio if the i do not see any options in the menu but i have a 640gb hard drive onboard?
[20:08] <macer1> I am being ddosed so...
[20:08] <abdullah> i can play mpg123
[20:08] <abdullah> but not console/dsp
[20:08] <Ion330HT> dr_willis: I just accessed grub command line. however writing text doesn't do anything
[20:09] <dr_willis> abdullah:  /dev/dsp has been obsoleted years ago i belive.. any guide using it.. would be 3+ yrs old
[20:09] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  you want the console.. not grub
[20:09] <abdullah> i do not mind if /dev/dsp is obsolete
[20:09] <abdullah> but asterisk paging works on /dev/dsp
[20:09] <dr_willis> abdullah: you do mine if its no longer works
[20:09] <Ion330HT> dr_willis: Can I start the console from grub? If so how?
[20:09] <abdullah> may be we can change our device
[20:09] <abdullah> but how
[20:10] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  you append the 'text' option to your boot options
[20:10] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  check the url   lets see
[20:10] <dr_willis> !text
[20:10] <abdullah> rox how can i use alsa only
[20:10] <sda> hi all, according to POWERTOP_2.1 this source "Audio codec hwC0D3: Intel" Is gettig 5.6W of my total 18.5W 30% of total power used by my laptop! Everything without using any sound! How that's possible? how can I fix this?
[20:10] <abdullah> http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Setting+up+paging+with+a+sound+card
[20:10] <rox> abdullah: well, from what i understand, you are trying to do two things
[20:10] <rox> abdullah: 1. dial some SIP address
[20:10] <Ion330HT> aaah I see where I went wrong
[20:11] <PatrikOlsson2> Hey guys, I just installed ubuntu on an asus ux32vd, and I'm having trouble with right click. Does anyone have an idea how i can fix it? Right click doesnt work at all
[20:11] <rox> abdullah: 2. announce, that the the dialing is happening on your local speaker
[20:11] <rox> abdullah: is that right?
[20:11] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  the grub menu item for recovery  should work also
[20:11] <abdullah> right
[20:12] <abdullah> same setup works on older releases of ubuntu
[20:12] <abdullah> and other distros
[20:12] <Ion330HT> dr_willis: You mean I should try the "Ubuntu, with linux ....... (recovery mode)?
[20:12] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  that gets to a recovery console..
[20:13] <dr_willis> explore it ;)
[20:13] <maslen> I'm using ubuntu 12.04 with gnome-classic-fallback, and alt-tab doesn't work, and unless I click on the taskbar icon, (even if I select the window), it does not appear to bring the window to foreground/switch focus properly.
[20:13] <maslen> alt-tab doesn't work == doesn't appear to do anything.
[20:14] <Ion330HT> dr_willis: I want to "Drop to root shell prompt" right?
[20:14] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  yep
[20:15] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  make the disk writeable also..
[20:15] <dr_willis> i rarely need the recovery mode. so i dont know its menus
[20:15] <rox> abdullah: do two things: in your asterisk dconfiguration remove chan_oss and load chan_alsa
[20:15] <rox> abdullah: that should fix your problem
[20:16] <abdullah> even tried this
[20:16] <Jnco> ahow the f did i set a password

[20:18] <mateusz> maybe someone can help, I just installed Inkscape, there are missing two libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1, libgdkmm-2.4.so.1 but I found /usr/lib/libgtkmm-3.0.so.1 & /usr/lib/libgdkmm-3.0.so.1 installed, should I wait for new Inkscape version or can I do something?
[20:18] <achandra> hello...im looking for Dave Russell from Canonical
[20:19] <rox> abdullah: also configure alsa in /etc/asterisk/alsa.conf
[20:19] <achandra> anyone know how i can reach him?
[20:19] <achandra> or email?

[20:20] <Ion330HT> dr_willis: Ok so I tried to ls to see where I am at but that didn't do anything
[20:20] <guntbert> achandra: this channel is for ubuntu support, not really affiliated with canonical
[20:20] <rox> abdullah: that's because you are still trying to use OSS
[20:20] <zykotick9> !info oss-compat | abdullah tried this?
[20:20] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  you are in roots home /root/ i imagine
[20:20] <rox> abdullah: you have alsa drivers installed, just tell asterisk to use alsa
[20:20] <dr_willis> Ion330HT:  'pwd' command will show you. or the promot
[20:20] <dr_willis> prompt
[20:20] <fidel> achandra: maybe worth a try as starting point: https://launchpad.net/~drussell
[20:20] <rox> abdullah: load the chan_alsa module and configure alsa in /etc/asterisk/alsa.conf
[20:21] <abdullah> now I have   ;noload => chan_alsa.so    and   noload => chan_oss.so
[20:21] <abdullah> in modules.conf
[20:21] <rox> abdullah: that should be right, but still, you need to set your /etc/asterisk/alsa.conf properly
[20:21] <rox> abdullah: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+config+alsa.conf
[20:21] <abdullah> i can see alsa.conf there
[20:21] <abdullah> but what to enable here
[20:22] <Ion330HT> I can see /root but how do I access it? Normal cd doesn't seem to be working

I also find on that server an x11 directory: us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/x11-apps/.  Is that what apt-get is looking for?  Do I need to adjust my sources.list for that location?
[20:23] <dr_willis> jklowden:  if you just install a window manager it should pull in all needed xorg dependecnies
[20:23] <rox> abdullah: and instead of commenting out ;noload chan_alsa.so, you should specify load chan_alsa.so
[20:23] <Bilge> Anyone know some good JPEG introspection software?
[20:23] <Bilge> Like TweakPNG for JPEGs
[20:24] <abdullah> oh ok
[20:24] <abdullah> let me change it
[20:24] <jklowden> Thanks, dr_willis.  What's a little one these days?  Fluxbox?
[20:25] <abdullah> rox noload_alse comment means we are loading it
[20:25] <rinzler> does anyone know of a project or application that enables you to use your keyboard and mice as bluetooth HID devices?
[20:25] <abdullah> and noload_oss means we are stoping it
[20:25] <Ion330HT> dr_Willis: Ok so I have arrived at the file but it tells me permission denied, could possibly because I have cmod +x the file before trying to install it because it said so in one of the tutorials I tried to follow
[20:25] <Dragonfly> Hi there guys, Can anybody advise ? Ubuntu shows my wireless connection as 'eth1' I want to make it 'wlan0'
[20:26] <rinzler> Dragonfly: any specific reason, or just for looks?
[20:26] <ubuntu-studio> guntbertubootu: http://imagebin.org/226485 can you see
[20:26] <fjdsarewio> is there an ubuntu root password?
[20:27] <testeroo> Yeah.
[20:27] <uberamd> fjdsarewio: no
[20:27] <guntbert> ubuntu-studio: yes, we can see that
[20:27] <testeroo> Try sudo su -
[20:27] <fjdsarewio> how am i supposed to install gentoo
[20:27] <krababbel> Dragonfly: look in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[20:27] <testeroo> Then set it yourself.
[20:27] <fidel> fjdsarewio: wrong channel for gentoo questions
[20:27] <zykotick9> testeroo: don't suggest things that are wrong....
[20:27] <Dr4g> Hey guys, I setup a cron entry from cron.hourly, but it's not activating - what command should I run to have it activate my change? Thanks
[20:27] <abdullah> ROX anyway, i have now load_alsa
[20:27] <guntbert> !root | fjdsarewio
[20:27] <delinquentme> how can I use the command line to get to the trash?
[20:28] <abdullah> and in alsa.conf it is now output_device=hw:0,0
[20:28] <Pici> !trash
[20:28] <abdullah> and now message is chan_alsa.c:481 alsa_read: Read error: Resource temporarily unavailable
[20:28] <rinzler> does anyone know of a project or application that enables you to use your keyboard and mice as bluetooth HID devices?
[20:28] <lickalott> guntbert why not "sudo passwd root"
[20:28] <uberamd> ^
[20:29] <testeroo> Because the moderator thinks he's god.
[20:29] <jklowden> Ah, the problem is apt-get can't install anything.  "sudo apt-get install emacs23" fails with "Unable to locate package emacs23" but ftp works.
[20:29] <guntbert> lickalott: setting a root password is not supported here (neither is having one set)
[20:29] <Pici> And doesn't have anything to do with installing gentoo.
[20:30] <Dragonfly> krabbel: the file is configured correctly, it is set to prefix the wireless connection with 'wlan' but still ifconfig shows it as eth1
[20:30] <rox> abdullah: hmmm, now what you need to do is to give the user, under which asterisk is running, permission to write the device
[20:30] <guntbert> !noroot | lickalott
[20:30] <abdullah> please guide
[20:30] <krababbel> Dragonfly: so did you change the name there? you would need to reboot I think.
[20:30] <abdullah> or write command for permission thing
[20:30] <rox> ubottu: why is that so? i'm not trying to start a holy war here, i'm just asking
[20:30] <abdullah> which file need permission
[20:31] <Pici> rox: its stated here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[20:31] <rox> abdullah: hmm, i don't know how your asterisk is running
[20:31] <Ion330HT> dr_Willis: Ok so I have arrived at the file but it tells me permission denied, could possibly because I have cmod +x the file before trying to install it because it said so in one of the tutorials I tried to follow
[20:31] <delinquentme> Pici, So im on a VM instance of 12.04 ... and there seems to be no ~/.local file
[20:31] <Dragonfly> krababbel: I didnt change anything in there, file is configured correctly and I've rebooted many times trying different things for it.
[20:31] <abdullah> asterisk is running for user asterisk and group is also asterisk
[20:31] <uberamd> rox: guntbert Sounds like they just want to protect users from themselves
[20:32] <krababbel> Dragonfly: maybe paste the line about this connection in the file here
[20:32] <rox> abdullah: and the device is probably root:root
[20:32] <Dr4g> Hey guys, I setup a cron entry from cron.hourly, but it's not activating - what command should I run to have it activate my change? Thanks
[20:32] <Dr4g> -
[20:33] <abdullah> rox are you talking about /dev/dsp
[20:33] <uberamd> Dr4g: what do you mean you "setup a cron entry from"
[20:33] <rox> abdullah: how about this: chown root:asterisk /dev/YOUR-DEVICE
[20:33] <Dragonfly> krababbel: here it is SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="b4:74:9f:7b:75:ee", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"
[20:33] <krababbel> Dragonfly: other than that, i don't know, sorry
[20:33] <rox> abdullah: and they chmod 770 /dev/YOUR-DEVICE
[20:33] <rinzler> does anyone know of a project or application that enables you to use your keyboard and mouse as bluetooth HID devices?
[20:33] <Dr4g> uberamd: i added my command to the cron.hourly file, but it's not executing it
[20:33] <jklowden> Is http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ a valid repository location?  What do you use?
[20:33] <rox> abdullah: no, we have already established, that /dev/dsp does not exist on your machine
[20:34] <Dragonfly> krababbel: No problem, I'll seek someone else' help
[20:34] <abdullah> so which device i should look now
[20:34] <krababbel> Dragonfly: Is this an integrated wifi ?
[20:34] <rox> abdullah: the one you have configured in /etc/asterisk/alsa.conf
[20:34] <uberamd> Dr4g: you could try doing a sudo touch /etc/cron.d/
[20:34] <abdullah> i can change permissions but for which device
[20:34] <Dr4g> uberamd: thanks.
[20:34] <rox> abdullah: the one configured under the item OUTPUT_DEVICE
[20:35] <Dr4g> uberamd: i'll try.
[20:35] <abdullah> ; To set which ALSA device to use, change this parameter ;input_device=hw:0,0 output_device=hw:0,0
[20:35] <Dragonfly> krababbel: yes it is a broadcom wireless card integrated into motherboard.
[20:35] <rox> uberamd: you need to restart cron
[20:35] <ubuntu-studio> http://imagebin.org/226485 i am stuck ! T_T
[20:35] <Dr4g> uberamd: isn't touch for files, you gave me a DIR path.
[20:35] <abdullah> what is output_device=hw0,0
[20:35] <Dr4g> rox: how to I restart the cron
[20:35] <rox> abdullah: i don't know how these devices translate to device files, google it
[20:36] <rox> Dr4g:  service cron restart
[20:36] <abdullah> i am failed at google since it is 7th day now
[20:36] <Dr4g> rox: thanks, i'll see how this goes
[20:37] <Dr4g> and thanks uberamd for the help too.
[20:37] <rox> Dr4g: for cron you also have the option of editing your personal crontab, using command crontab -e
[20:37] <abdullah>  lshw -c sound       ----     physical id: 14.5        bus info: pci@0000:00:14.5
[20:37] <guntbert> !details | ubuntu-studio
[20:37] <rox> Dr4g: if you use the crontab command, you don't have to restart cron
[20:38] <uberamd> Dr4g: it changes the timestamp on the directory and tells cron to update
[20:38] <Dr4g> uberamd: good to know
[20:39] <krababbel> Dragonfly: does the same happen in termnial with 'ip link'? Where is wlan0 called eth1?
[20:39] <mosx1> what permissions will a user's new file have after they upload it via ftp ? how can i determine this from the commandline ? thx
[20:40] <abdullah> rox this is what I've found  ---  physical id: 14.5        bus info: pci@0000:00:14.5
[20:41] <Dragonfly> krababbel: when I view 'ifconfig' it shows me 3 connections "eth0" for ethernet "eth1" for wireless card and "lo" for loopback. loopback and ethernet are all good I just need to rename the eth1 to wlan0 because I used to write wlan0 when referring to my wireless connection and it is causing a lot of confusions now
[20:41] <abdullah> and this one also   aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: IXP [ATI IXP], device 0: ATI IXP AC97 [ATI IXP AC97]   Subdevices: 0/1   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[20:43] <tango4449> I want to thank the folks who helped me this week while I was figuring out how to install xubuntu on my HP Mini 1000 that had a MAC OS, using a PC-created USB flash drive. It worked the first time! Thank you!
[20:43] <abdullah> ROX can you tell me the location of /dev/Device to change permission
[20:43] <Ion330HT> How do I mout a drive in recovery mode prompt?
[20:45] <pelle_> hi i'm about to install ubuntu on a macbook 5.1 with no working cd-drive i'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick when looking here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook it states that i should use natty/ ubuntu11.04 - is this right and will it not be possible to install version 12.... ?
[20:47] <david__> does anyone here run cinnamon in ubuntu
[20:47] <david__> ?
[20:47] <delinquentme> Ok So im unable to install this " trash-cli "
[20:47] <auronandace> david__: not supported
[20:47] <david__> what do you mean>?
[20:47] <delinquentme> it seems that Im unable to find it in the repos .. even after updating and upgrading apt-get
[20:48] <david__> not supported in this channel?
[20:48] <auronandace> david__: we can't support cinnamon here
[20:49] <abdullah> rox  i have found few devices under /dev/snd
[20:49] <emil6768768> irc.freenode.net
[20:50] <delinquentme> so what happened to the storage location of the trash in 12.04??
[20:50] <abdullah> devices under /dev/snd   are controlC0  pcmC0D0c  pcmC0D0p  pcmC0D1p   and all of them are   chown root;audio
[20:50] <delinquentme> is there a channel specifically for 12.04?
[20:50] <zykotick9> !trash | delinquentme
[20:51] <delinquentme> im running a VM which is ubuntu 12.04 ... and the trash it not located at ~/.local/share/Trash ... and also im unable to install "trash-cli "
[20:51] <delinquentme> zykotick9, ^
[20:52] <auronandace> zykotick9: is that factoid restricted to nautilus? or do other file managers also use those directories for trash?
[20:52] <zykotick9> delinquentme: i don't have a ~/.local/share/Trash either... best of luck.
[20:52] <zykotick9> auronandace: i'd think.... not 100% though
[20:53] <auronandace> zykotick9: so part of the xdg standard
[20:53] <snagglepuss> david__:   log onto the linuxmint-help channel on the    irc.spotchat.org     irc server for help with cinnamon
[20:53] <tking> how do i stop files from being saved with a tilda
[20:53] <zykotick9> auronandace: i don't have nautilus installed on my system, and no Trash folder.  sorry, I don't know the details.
[20:54] <zykotick9> tking: are you using vi?
[20:54] <tking> like textfile~
[20:54] <auronandace> zykotick9: no worries, just curious, never seen that factoid before
[20:54] <rechengehirn> Hi. How can i set errormessages in shell temporarily to engish

[20:55] <tking> zykotick9, actually textEdit
[20:56] <TimothyA> am I supposed to assign a filesystem to the disks before or after setting up the raid?
[20:56] <DrDamnit> Upgrading a server to 12.04 LTS. Need to buy a motherboard. What is a better choice, Intel Chipsets or nVidia Chipsets? I need to have a smooth upgrade since it is a production system.
[20:57] <auronandace> ubuntu-studio: you need to tell it which partition to use as / (root) for your install
[20:57] <ubuntu-studio> auronandace: how to do that
[20:58] <auronandace> ubuntu-studio: look at the partitions that are shown and select one to be used, put the mountpoint as /
[20:59] <Troy^> if i install openssh-server will it auto start on boot?
[20:59] <rox> auronandace: during the install procedure, at the partitioning phase, you either select default, wehich does it for you, or you partition yourself
[20:59] <DrDamnit> Troy: yes.
[20:59] <zykotick9> Troy^: yes (it should anyways)
[20:59] <ubuntu-studio> auronandance: installation menu does not show any partition options.
[21:00] <Troy^> ok thank you DrDamnit and zykotick9
[21:00] <rox> ubuntu-studio: partitioning will come up later during the procedure
[21:00] <delinquentme> if I've got a VM running ... and I want to boot into the GUI... what would the command be?
[21:00] <rox> auronandace: i'm sorry, the previous message was ment for ubuntu-studio
[21:00] <delinquentme> ubuntu 12.04
[21:00] <auronandace> rox: i've always done my partitioning manually
[21:00] <auronandace> rox: no worries
[21:00] <rox> auronandace: so have i
[21:00] <lidar> hello
[21:00] <rox> lidar: hello
[21:01] <Troy^> i just had the opportunity to setup a raid 1 setup and first time setting up partions manually on my server
[21:01] <ubuntu-studio> rox: so i should restart the computer and select default?
[21:01] <BluesKaj> DrDamnit, http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/
[21:01] <ratcheer> Troy^: Cool. How many drives?
[21:02] <abdullah> rox
[21:02] <abdullah> did you get my messages
[21:02] <Troy^> ratcheer: just 2 drives. 2 80gb IDE drives. older box. if i had 3 it would have been raid 5 i believe
[21:03] <ratcheer> Troy^: RAID-5 will work on three drives, but not very well. So, with your two drives, did you stripe or mirror?
[21:03] <DrDamnit> BlueKaj: Great link. Thanks. Need Mobo recommendations, however, because it is a custom Asterisk PBX I am building, and don't want to fool with riser cards to install T1's, etc...
[21:04] <Troy^> ratcheer: there mirrored as RAID 1 is mirroring
[21:04] <maheanuu> For some strange reason VLC has taken over my torrent download default and Transmission isn't being allowed to download any files, how do I remedy this problem?
[21:05] <ratcheer> Troy^: Sorry, I see you already said RAID-1.
[21:05] <Troy^> ratcheer: honestly I really don't even need RAID 1 for what i need. but since i had the opportunity i thought it would be cool and I can use it to back up other PCs in the house i guess
[21:05] <MonkeyDust> maheanuu  right click on a torrent, open with, select other default
[21:05] <Troy^> is there a way to get ubuntu to spit back a cpu temp?
[21:06] <maheanuu> MonkeyDust,  there is no other and when I go to find Transmission it doesn't show
[21:06] <TimothyA> is RAID0 supposed to be slower than RAID1?
[21:06] <ratcheer> Troy^: lm-sensors
[21:06] <zykotick9> Troy^: "sensors" from terminal
[21:07] <Troy^> thanks, need to setup static ip. and start installing some packages for the server
[21:08] <WHAT_UP> cat
[21:08] <Troy^> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176656/
[21:08] <BluesKaj> DrDamnit, well Isuppose you could take a look at the mobos on the recommended boxes
[21:08] <Troy^> is that my cpu temp?
[21:09] <ratcheer> Troy^: Probably.
[21:09] <abdullah> rox should i leave the channel now
[21:10] <abdullah> or you have any solution
[21:10] <ratcheer> Troy^: Here's what mine looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176662/
[21:10] <mosx1> what's up with this???     sudo chmod 644 /home/user/public_html/*.php -R
[21:11] <maheanuu> MonkeyDust,  should I remove and reinstall transmission, Yesterday I removed VLC because it opened everytime I tried to download, and then things returned to normal, but after reinstalling VLC I am back in the same corner, with the same problem
[21:11] <MonkeyDust> maheanuu  you could, yes
[21:12] <mosx1> I wan't to recursively set permissions on all php files below a given directory to 644
[21:13] <maheanuu> I really like vlc as my video audio player, but if I am going to have this problem where it wants to stream and as my DSL service is slow, I download and save all in my downloads directory, but now I am stuck with VLC
[21:14] <uberamd> mosx1: find . -type f -name "*.php" | xargs chmod 644
[21:15] <Troy^> alright ratcheer so i guess it is good. I only have one core and it also supports hyperthreading
[21:15] <TeruFSX> !grub
[21:16] <Troy^> so my cpu temp is at 32C and my HardDrives 37 and 38C
[21:18] <JRT83> hello everyone. I am a novice ubuntu user with what I think is a complicated DNS/IP problem... so if anyone can walk me through how to troubleshoot and fix this I'd really appreciate it.  I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on a vmware player running on Windows vista, and I have been adding and changing some things, and something in that process messed up the internet connection. I was setting up a LAMP stack following a few different walkth
[21:19] <rox> JRT83: so, what was it that got messed up?
[21:19] <JRT83> and I think one of the steps in there had me edit a configuration file of some sort to set a static IP for the server, and now I don't know what the files are that I need to fix, but I can't ping anything outside the computer from the virtual machine
[21:19] <JRT83> it has no internet
[21:19] <JRT83> I saw a few posts about things to look at but I really don't know how to interpret the output
[21:19] <JRT83> like the command: route -n
[21:19] <MonkeyDust> JRT83  /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf
[21:19] <delinquentme> Are only SPECIFIC files capable of being SHA1 summed?
[21:19] <JRT83> yeah, /etc/resolv.conf is blank
[21:20] <JRT83> except for the comment lines telling you not to edit it
[21:20] <delinquentme> im looking at a .ova ( virtual machine ) file and im not able to get a sha1sum on it?
[21:20] <rox> JRT83: you are probably talking about the files in /etc/network
[21:20] <rox> JRT83: you will find your file there
[21:20] <JRT83> hmm, I think I set the IPs to the localhost numbers I found somewhere else on my computer
[21:21] <MonkeyDust> JRT83  put your router's IP address in /etc/resolv.conf    nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> or so
[21:21] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: i believe resolv.conf is deprecated in 12.04
[21:21] <rox> JRT83: would you please paste the output of the command "ifconfig -a" to a pastebin?
[21:22] <MonkeyDust> zykotick9  is it replaced by something?
[21:22] <BluesKaj> JRT83, you probly have to add the dns nameservers to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head , because it writes to /etc/resolv.conf , ignore the warning in head
[21:22] <mosx1> can anybody explain to me why sudo chmod 644 /home/user/public_html/*.php -R doesn't seem to work as I expect...i.e. recursively from /home/user/public_html/ ???
[21:22] <MonkeyDust> zykotick9  BluesKaj just answered :)
[21:22] <JRT83> http://pastebin.com/igEXGsg9
[21:22] <guyneedshelp> I need help!
[21:23] <rox> because for recursive you need to use the -R flag
[21:23] <rox> mosx1: read the manpage, use -R for recursive chmod
[21:23] <mosx1> I thought I just did
[21:23] <mosx1> -R is right there
[21:23] <BluesKaj> JRT83, you probly need to add the namesevers to /etc/nework/interfaces as well, I'm not real sure about that , tho
[21:23] <guyneedshelp> I am trying to install unetbootin. I downloaded the file and I need to execute it. But how do I choose the application to open it with?
[21:23] <rox> mosx1: oh, those aren't directories, those are files
[21:24] <mosx1> rox: you mean the php files ?
[21:24] <JRT83> ok, cuz I read several places that the new ubuntu handles DNS differently, and so you can't directly edit the resolv.conf files
[21:24] <rox> mosx1: just chmod 644 /home/user/public_html/*php should do the trick
[21:24] <rox> mosx1: yes
[21:25] <guyneedshelp> can someone please help me :(
[21:25] <mosx1> rox: why no -R ?
[21:25] <lickalott> guyneedshelp where did you download it from?
[21:25] <guyneedshelp> from a trusted link
[21:25] <guyneedshelp> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html
[21:25] <rox> guyneedshelp: why don't you install unetbootin from repository?
[21:25] <guyneedshelp> from there
[21:26] <rox> guyneedshelp: sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[21:26] <mosx1> rox: how come no -R option in your command ?
[21:26] <BluesKaj> JRT83, yes you have to add them in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
[21:26] <guyneedshelp> I need to install the older version, not the newer one
[21:26] <plagman_> Does anyone know whether 12.10 is supposed to have full multi-arch support?
[21:26] <lickalott> so sourceforge?
[21:26] <rox> mosx1: because the wildcard in the command already expands the arguments to files
[21:26] <guyneedshelp> because the newer version wont recognize ntfs format
[21:26] <zykotick9> plagman_: multiarch is a work in progress at this point
[21:27] <mosx1> ah, ok and it looks in subdirectories too ?
[21:27] <rox> mosx1: i'll give you an example, let's say you have files file1.php, file2.php and file3.php in your directory
[21:27] <plagman_> zykotick9: I realize that; I was asking whether there was a tentative target for full support, and if that target happened to be the next release
[21:27] <rox> mosx1: when you say chmod 644 /home/uset/public_html/*php
[21:27] <JRT83> BluesKaj do I just add the one nameserver line to the head file?
[21:27] <gccster> guys i have the domain test.example.com and i want to only redirect(rewrite)  to page test.example.com/?search when the request_uri is / (root) how can this be done with htaccess? i already asked in #apache
[21:27] <mrgt> So I can eject the cdrom using the "eject" command. Is there a simllar command or a way to retract the drive?
[21:27] <rox> mosx1: the shell expands the wildcard, and the command gets run as if you had listed all the files on the command line
[21:28] <lickalott> guyneedshelp it's an .iso
[21:28] <rox> mosx1: so the command gets run, as if you had typed
[21:28] <rox> chmod 644 /home/user/public_html/file1.php /home/user/public_html/file2.php /home/user/public_html/file3.php
[21:28] <lickalott> i mean did you get the .sio
[21:29] <lickalott> *iso
[21:29] <mosx1> rox: and does it change permission for file4.php that is in a subdirectory ?
[21:29] <lickalott> wish i could type today
[21:29] <rox> mosx1: no
[21:29] <ForSpareParts> Have any of you been able to connect to freenode using the bundled Empathy client and do authentication?
[21:29] <mrgt> never mind I got it :)
[21:29] <mosx1> well that's what I asked for
[21:29] <guyneedshelp> I have the iso
[21:29] <mosx1> for subdirectories too
[21:29] <lickalott> the app should be a .exe.  judt double click and point it to the .iso and all is well.  if you don't have an extension on the unetbootin file, add it
[21:29] <rox> mosx1: the reason it did not do that is because you did not list your directory in your command
[21:29] <BluesKaj> JRT83, like this , http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176709/
[21:30] <zykotick9> plagman_: i'd guess it would need to be finished upstream (debian) first.  perhaps asking there would shed more light?
[21:30] <rox> mosx1: you only listed the .php files
[21:30] <guyneedshelp> I am having trouble getting unetbootin first
[21:30] <guyneedshelp> I need to get the old version installed. i downloaded an exec file but I have no clue how to open it
[21:30] <lickalott> you're on windows right?
[21:30] <rox> mosx1: the wildcard /home/user/public_html/*.php expands to all files in that directory ending with .php
[21:30] <delinquentme> if something passes a SHA1 comparison .. the file is said to be _________
[21:30] <rox> mosx1: not subdirectories
[21:30] <guyneedshelp> no im on ubuntu
[21:30] <delinquentme> pure ... non-messed up ...
[21:30] <rox> mosx1: so you need to chmod all php files to 644?
[21:30] <delinquentme> its not " secure "
[21:31] <rox> mosx1: let's craft up a command for that
[21:31] <mosx1> i thought the -R took care of the subdirectories
[21:31] <guyneedshelp> how do I open this download? how do i get to the application to open this download
[21:31] <mosx1> yes rox, all below the /home/user/public_html/
[21:32] <JRT83> What are those last 2 nameserver IPs?
[21:32] <lickalott> guyneedshelp go back to the page that you sent me and look at 2.
[21:32] <lickalott> under installation and screenshots
[21:33] <Alchemy> hey all if I add a executable into /etc/rc.local will it be run after all system core services are brought online
[21:33] <Alchemy> not sure where to add it
[21:33] <Alchemy> it only needs to survive 1 reboot
[21:33] <Alchemy> I am doing an automated setup script and it needs to run after the reboot succeeded on the first part
[21:33] <guyneedshelp> oh man I am embarassed!
[21:33] <guyneedshelp> thank you so much for your help!!!!
[21:34] <rox> mosx1: ok, try this
[21:34] <nilopes> hi, i'm getting a problem with my ubuntu 12.04, it freeze in logo screen with five dots, and i can't do anything, please help
[21:34] <rox> mosx1: find /home/user/public_html -name "*php" -exec chmod 644 {} \;
[21:35] <auronandace> !nomodeset | nilopes
[21:36] <rox> mosx1: that should do what you needed to do
[21:36] <rox> mosx1: in the future, it would be a good idea to learn, how the shell wildcards work
[21:37] <rox> mosx1: and use find with -exec when wildcards don't cut it
[21:37] <rox> mosx1: did it do the job?
[21:37] <mosx1> seems to have yes, thankyou.
[21:37] <Troy^> hmm i want to update my ehternet interface settings via ssh i dont want to do sudo ifdown eth0 then it won't come back up :S
[21:37] <rox> mosx1: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/wildcards.html
[21:38] <rox> Troy^: that is most certainly not a good idea
[21:38] <makezan> hey guys i need a bit of help
[21:38] <Troy^> is there a way to get it to restart the interface with my static settings
[21:38] <Troy^> or best bet a reboot?
[21:38] <makezan> don't have too much time to trouble shoot right now. but anyone with nfs4 experience here?
[21:39] <makezan> over the weekend I setup my server
[21:39] <rox> Troy^: if you are going to do that, then you should do the following first: make a script, that will detect, if your network is still up, and if it detects that it is not, it should revert to your current settings
[21:39] <maslen> I'm using ubuntu 12.04 with gnome-classic-fallback, and alt-tab doesn't appear to trigger anything, and unless I click on the taskbar icon, (even if I select the window), it does not appear to bring the window to foreground/switch focus properly.
[21:39] <makezan> and I can't mount the filesystem on the client anymore
[21:39] <Troy^> rox: sounds ideal lol.. makezan just set mine up
[21:39] <makezan> it tells me, mount.nfs4: mount(2): Permission denied
[21:39] <rox> Troy^: no, you can't just set it to revert to revious settings, you need to script it up
[21:39] <Troy^> no i know rox
[21:40] <pyrrhic> How to fix a corrupted NTFS partition with a Windows 7 disc?!?
[21:40] <Troy^> my bash scripting skills are pretty minimal
[21:40] <neil__> I want to run a simple python script in the background but a icon is appearing in the launcher :-( .... how do I stop that?
[21:40] <mosx1> any idea how can i upgrade apache from 2.22 to 2.4 from command ?
[21:40] <rox> pyrrhic: ask people in #windows
[21:40] <pyrrhic> rox: They aren't replying
 lol, for real i'm running mad and don't know what to do.
[21:41] <Troy^> sudo ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 will that do both commands?
[21:41] <makezan> there are only 3 config files on the server to check and only 1 config on the client?
[21:41] <Troy^> i know the static settings will work
[21:41] <rox> Troy^: no, if the first one fails, it won't run the second one
[21:41] <rox> Troy^: the && operator in the shell does that
[21:41] <Troy^> why wouldn't the interface go down though
[21:42] <rox> Troy^: for many reasons
[21:42] <Troy^> i'm going to try it lol. crosses fingers
[21:42] <rox> Troy^: wait
[21:42] <pyrrhic> How would I go about fixing a corrupt NTFS partition? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64.
[21:42] <rox> Troy^: let's do this right
[21:43] <lidar> pyrrhic, corrupt in what way ?
[21:44] <rox> Troy^: do this: cp /etc/network/interfaces ~/interfaces.bak
[21:44] <Troy^> yea i made a back of the oringal already /etc/network/interfaces.back
[21:45] <pyrrhic> lidar: how many different ways can it be corrupt?
[21:45] <rox> Troy^: so, you are changing your primary interface, right?
[21:45] <pyrrhic> lidar: I cant access it and I used to be able to.
[21:46] <Troy^> yea eth0
[21:46] <lidar> pyrrhic, does manually mounting it work ?
[21:46] <rox> Troy^: so, let's make a script
[21:46] <mosx1> hmm, my server seems hung....anything I can do?
[21:46] <rox> Troy^: wait a minute, i'll give it to you in a pastebin
[21:47] <mosx1> it's stuck at *Starting web server apache2
[21:47] <pyrrhic> lidar: I don't know the command to do so.
[21:47] <lidar> mosx1, apachectl stop ?
[21:47] <mosx1> I don't have a prompt
[21:47] <lidar> pyrrhic, mkdir junk-windows && mount /dev/sda1 junk-windows edit sda1 to proper drive/partition
[21:47] <emes> if I have an ~/.xinitrc file, should there be an option to load a "custom" session on log in?
[21:48] <pyrrhic> lidar: It isn't sda1, so just replace it with the correct number, yes?
[21:48] <lidar> mosx1, your config is probably screwed up
[21:48] <lidar> pyrrhic, correct
[21:49] <pyrrhic> The directory was made. But it has a lock symbol on it.
[21:50] <lidar> pyrrhic, did you do it as root  ?
[21:50] <pyrrhic> yes
[21:50] <lidar> pyrrhic, gksudo nautilus .. should be able to  access it then
[21:50] <pyrrhic> ahh
[21:50] <pyrrhic> there it is
[21:50] <pyrrhic> special device /dev/sd3 does not exist
[21:51] <lidar> pyrrhic, office depot charge like 100 dollars to do that ill accept 50 to my paypal :P
[21:52] <lidar> pyrrhic, /dev/sda3 should be what you mounted type mount to view all mounted partititons
[21:53] <rox> Troy^: http://pastebin.com/s7pi5U4X
[21:53] <Troy^> wow your pretty quick. that would have taken me an hour to write
[21:53] <pyrrhic> lidar: /dev/sda3 (my media ntfs partition) doesnt show after entering that command.
[21:54] <rox> Troy^: MAKE SURE YOU EDIT PATHS
[21:54] <rox> Troy^: edit the script, so that the paths are correct
[21:54] <rox> Troy^: i don't know where you stored the backup file
[21:54] <emes> what's the name of the login manager in 12.04?
[21:54] <rox> Troy^: so please edit the path to the interfaces.back file, so that it is correct
[21:54] <ratcheer> emes: It depends on what desktop
[21:54] <Troy^>  /etc/network/interfaces.back
[21:55] <Troy^> roger
[21:55] <lidar> pyrrhic, sudo mount /dev/sda3 junk-windows/ gives an error ?
[21:55] <emes> ratcheer: default install
[21:55] <ratcheer> emes: Unity? Then, lightdm.
[21:55] <rox> Troy^: and the pastebin messed up the other path too, please change it ti /etc/network/interfaces
[21:56] <Troy^> cp -f --remove-destination /etc/network/interfaces.back /etc/network/interfaces;
[21:56] <rox> Troy^: right, that should do it
[21:56] <Troy^> ty
[21:56] <epifanio> hi All, i'm having troubles with apt-get and cron ... i tried to upgrade a system .. but both aptitude or apt-get are stuck on the "cron" package, have you any clue on how can i try to fix/debug this problem ?
[21:56] <emes> ratcheer: what service do I need to stop in order to kill x11?
[21:56] <pyrrhic> lidar: need to specify a file type, dont know where to put ntfs.
[21:56] <rox> Troy^: the whole point is, that ping fails, if your network is down
[21:57] <lidar> pyrrhic, sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda3 junk-windows/ gives an error ?
[21:57] <ratcheer> emes: lightdm
[21:57] <rox> Troy^: if ping fails, the value if $? will be something other then 0
[21:57] <lidar> pyrrhic, add the -t ntfs
[21:57] <rox> Troy^: so in that case, we need to revert
[21:57] <pyrrhic> lidar: yes. large line of errors
[21:57] <Troy^> yup makes sense now, just wouldn't of known how to properly code it. thanks
[21:58] <rox> Troy^: glad to help, good luck
[21:59] <pyrrhic> lidar: want a pastebin?
[21:59] <lidar> pyrrhic, yes

[22:01] <epifanio> this is what i have http://paste.debian.net/186740/

[22:01] <epifanio> lidar: i pasted all the log i had in my shell, i'm connected via ssh to that machine
[22:02] <epifanio> lidar: i tried both apt-get and aptitude, both fails on cron
[22:02] <OliverUv_> Does anyone know how to change the wubi location to another NTFS partition (ubuntu 12.04, win7)?
[22:03] <lidar> epifanio, i think the solution is block cron from updating .. then make a script to update it seperatly
[22:03] <veric> anyone that is good with getting flash to work on firefox  that can help me?
[22:03] <epifanio> lidar how can i block the cron update ?
[22:04] <WeThePeople> anybody here know how to get Ubucompilator to work with a tar.bz2?

[22:04] <robertzaccour> Ubuntu doesn't recognize my gamepad. Any suggestions?
[22:05] <pyrrhic> Lidar: http://pastebin.com/wu7fhCB3
[22:06] <HAMKoot> robertzaccour, more details please, what type gamepad ?
[22:06] <lidar> pyrrhic, that error is saying fix the drive from windows ... reboot at grub pick windows and hold f8
[22:06] <pyrrhic> lidar: my windows partition is nonexistant currently.
[22:06] <pyrrhic> I have a windows 7 cd though
[22:07] <pyrrhic> I got rid of windows 7, and this was my media drive while I had it.
[22:07] <robertzaccour> HAMKoot: xbox 360 wired
[22:07] <lidar> pyrrhic is it a desktop ?
[22:08] <pyrrhic> lidar: yep
[22:08] <tuxkalle_> does anyone know What is the difference between flags and switches in a terminal command? is it the same ting?
[22:09] <lidar> pyrrhic, if you have another windows desktop you could just swap it over so that windows can fix it ..
[22:09] <pyrrhic> lidar: negative.
[22:09] <pyrrhic> lidar: would recovery console work?
[22:09] <lidar> pyrrhic, yeah thats how you get to chkdsk
[22:10] <pyrrhic> lidar: just get to recov console and chkdsk /f ?
[22:10] <lidar> pyrrhic, maybe there is a linux tool .. i never tried
[22:10] <HAMKoot> robertzaccour, found an answer > http://askubuntu.com/a/142613 but the game must support this controller.
[22:10] <lidar> !bash > tuxkalle_
[22:11] <Troy^> rox: my internet face isnt coming up
[22:11] <lidar> pyrrhic, yep exactly
[22:11] <rox> Troy^: sooo, both your reconfiguration and my script failed
[22:11] <epifanio> lidar: it is now stuck on :  http://paste.debian.net/186741/  should i put udev in the blacklist too ?
[22:11] <rox> Troy^: bad luck
[22:11] <pyrrhic> lidar: thanks bub
[22:12] <lidar> pyrrhic, http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/231709-how-to-run-chkdsk-on-ntfs-drive-when-i-cannot-boot-windows/
[22:12] <rox> Troy^: if it really doesn't come up, then you will need to access the box physically
[22:12] <robertzaccour> HAMKoot: the controller works fine in windows
[22:12] <rox> Troy^: no other way to do it
[22:13] <Troy^> it saying when i do ifdown or ifup unable to access /etc/network/interfaces:1 ifup couldn't read interfaces file
[22:13] <rox> ??
[22:13] <rox> Troy^: well, check the file
[22:13] <Troy^> i'm looking at it
[22:13] <robertzaccour> oh so controllers typically don't work in games with wine?
[22:13] <Troy^> it looks fine setup for dhcp
[22:13] <robertzaccour> this is odd
[22:13] <rox> Troy^: ls -l /etc/network/interfaces
[22:13] <lidar> epifanio, for the sake of testing try it but if package after package fail .. then someting else is the problem
[22:14] <HAMKoot> robertzaccour, depends on the game.
[22:14] <robertzaccour> how does wine make a difference on if controllers work or not?
[22:14] <lidar> epifanio, are you using apt-get upgrade ? or soemthing else ?
[22:14] <Troy^> well i was nano editing it rox i was looking at it
[22:14] <TheLordOfTime> robertzaccour:  because Linux has to see the device and process it?
[22:14] <epifanio> yes this time i used apt-get
[22:14] <robertzaccour> HAMKoot: OnLive cloud gaming
[22:14] <rox> Troy^: are you sure, that the file name is exactly right?
[22:14] <Troy^>  /etc/network/interfaces
[22:15] <rox> Troy^: also, IIRC in interfaces, tabs matter
[22:15] <WeThePeople> does libtoolize come with ubuntu or in the tar.bz2?
[22:15] <robertzaccour> TheLordOfTime: so controllers simply don't work in wine?
[22:15] <HAMKoot> robertzaccour, so did you try that anser ?
[22:15] <TheLordOfTime> robertzaccour:  not what i said
[22:15] <rox> Troy^: can you show me the file?
[22:15] <rox> Troy^: pastebin
[22:15] <Troy^> cant
[22:15] <Troy^> its not on network lol
[22:15] <Troy^> if wont come up
[22:15] <robertzaccour> HAMKoot: yes in that link someone says controllers don't work in wine
[22:15] <rox> Troy^: then how can you edit it?
[22:16] <Troy^> i walk to the box
[22:16] <rox> Troy^: you have physical access to the file?
[22:16] <Troy^> yes
[22:16] <rox> Troy^: ah, ok, at least you don't have to travel
[22:16] <qualia> Hi! How can I mount ubuntu filesystem from my freebsd ?
[22:16] <lidar> epifanio, if you ssh in get root and run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade does it work ?
[22:16] <Troy^> auto eth0
[22:16] <Troy^> iface eth0 inet dhcp
[22:17] <Troy^> and before that is loop
[22:17] <lidar> !mount > qualia
[22:17] <rox> Troy^: that's just your standard vanilla dhcp setup
[22:17] <epifanio> lidar that's what i did after i added cron in the blacklist, now i'm going to do the same after putting also udev in the blacklist
[22:17] <Troy^> yes i put it back to that rox
[22:17] <Troy^> i intially was trying static
[22:17] <rox> Troy^: the only reason for the interface not to come up would be, if the dhcp server isn't functioning, or  if the wire is unplugged
[22:17] <Troy^> and i had it coming up but wouldnt ping any internal or external ips\
[22:18] <rox> Troy^: did you ping IPs or hostnames?
[22:19] <Troy^> ips
[22:19] <dr_willis> Hmmm
[22:19] <rox> Troy^: what does ifconfig say?
[22:20] <rox> Troy^: if you just run ifconfig with no arguments?
[22:20] <Troy^> it shows eth0 configure for the static ip address i had entered
[22:20] <Troy^> and the loopback
[22:20] <Troy^> the netmask and gateway are correct as well
[22:20] <rox> Troy^: there, it's not reading your DHCP configuration
[22:20] <aaaaas> .
[22:20] <Troy^> why though
[22:21] <rox> Troy^: but if it+'s showing eth0, then the interface didn't go down
[22:21] <Troy^> its say ifup/ifdown doesnt have access to /etc/network/interfaces
