[18:04] <wylde> v1z_: so was I why I upgraded my server. I even did it using a the 12.04 server iso on a live usb :)
[18:04] <SafariMonkey> jgharris, are you there? could you clarify how to use clamav?
[18:04] <Dr_willis_> CJKay,  i have a similer issue. I just set it to use GDM by default for now.
[18:04] <L3top> That I have not come across CJKay... perhaps someone else has some insight
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> SafariMonkey: the clamav ubuntu page has a lot of usefulness
[18:05] <Dr_willis_> CJKay,  all desktops fail to load with lightdm. gdm - they all work.
[18:05] <myFriend> me too can someone please help me repair my ubuntu 12.04 upgrade?
[18:05] <abdel> ok, im trying to install ubuntu 12.04 from a usb but when the screen with the options to install it its supposed to appear instead a bunch of lines and dots appears, as if the screen was broken. I tried ubuntu 10,10 and the same happens
[18:05] <CJKay> Dr_willis_, L3top: I'll have a quick Google
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> myFriend: try:  sudo apt-get -f install
[18:05] <Dr_willis_> !nomodeset | abdel
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> abdel: what video chip do you use?
[18:05] <abdel> i have a laptop, lenovo ideapad
[18:06] <SafariMonkey> ActionParsnip, it was recommended to me to identify adware on my computer. All I can find is about server use etc...
[18:06] <dbtmro> Hi. I've got a strange problem on Ubuntu 12.04 x64. My burner detects only dvd-rw; it doesn't detect cd-rw. Please help. Thank you.
[18:07] <L3top> linuxmonkey: see that is what confuses me... I was sure it was there... <L3top> !nomodset  no go... <Dr_willis_> !nomodeset | abdel goes...
[18:07] <WeThePeople> what is the command to check what sound card i am using
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> dbtmro: if you run  sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive    do you see:  /dev/cdrw
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: sudo lshw -C sound
[18:07] <dbtmro> let me try.
[18:07] <B|tchX> !welcome
[18:07] <WeThePeople> actionparsnip, thankyou
[18:07] <v1z_> abdel: sometimes you have to install plugging a monitor to the laptop, but when ubuntu boots normally after instlled it will work with your laptop lcd
[18:07] <B|tchX> How do I get to the banner?
[18:08] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: still getting this error http://pastie.org/3855060
[18:08] <ezoe> I think this new HUD is not bad. the problem is, I tend to forget the existence.
[18:09] <ezoe> and use traditional menu even though HUD takes less time to access nested menu entry.
[18:09] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: I guess, its looking for console to output…and not getting that..that's why giving this error..right..?
[18:09] <myFriend> ActionParsnip: i try to enter console to enter install command however i cannot get there
[18:09] <myFriend> i tried dpkg on recover mode but get weird errors
[18:09] <myFriend> what option should i try?
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> myFriend: press CTRL+ALT+T
[18:09] <myFriend> oh thanks
[18:10] <abdel> but how can i add the nomodeset to the usb, i cant even see the splash screen
[18:10] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: yes
[18:10] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: and if I'm correct, than that's why I tried this too: http://pastie.org/3855069
[18:10] <abdel> all i see is the broken screen
[18:10] <explorer_> hai guys, I'am new to linux and I setup a local wifi network. now I created my own webpage in /var/www/index.html with ip <IP_ADDRESS> and I want to use it from <IP_ADDRESS> but I cant able to use the localhost server in <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:10] <B|tchX> ubottu gave it to me thanks: /msg ubottu rules
[18:10] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: but didn't worked for me..:(
[18:10] <B|tchX> ubottu got jokes
[18:11] <mukwenhac> hi guys, is there an irc client that runs in the terminal?
[18:11] <fidel_> mukwenhac: irssi
[18:11] <myFriend> ActionParsnip: I am on the console root but it gives me not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock, but dpkg no matter how i run it it will be the same
[18:11] <dbtmro> help please
[18:11] <lcie> anyone able to install 12.04 server inside vmware?
[18:11] <myFriend> dbtmro: upgrade ubuntu?
[18:11] <dbtmro> no
[18:11] <dbtmro> fresh install
[18:11] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: so any further pointers...?
[18:11] <SunTsu> mukwenhac: lots of. irssi, bitchx, epic2, although you probably want to use irssi
[18:11] <fidel_> mukwenhac: consider using it in a 'screen'
[18:12] <myFriend> ActionParsnip: the ctrl+alt +T is done when or where?
[18:12] <jbwiv> guys, at one time I used xinerama, so only Ubuntu 2d was supported. However, I've recently switched to an AMD card which supports my three monitors with compositing, so Gnome 3 is working well. I want to try Unity, but it no longer shows up in my lightdm menu...only Unity2d. How can I get Unity to show up again?
[18:12] <shymega> fidel_: Yeah, screen is great for this.
[18:12] <B|tchX> !tor
[18:12] <mukwenhac> fidel, why?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> myFriend: run the command ubottu gave...
[18:12] <mukwenhac> SunTsu: thanks
[18:12] <fidel_> mukwenhac: well - at least if you have the option to let it run permanently on a server and just connect to it in case you want to use it

[18:15] <ActionParsnip> np
[18:15] <myFriend> the fsck should fix the problem that is given right?

[18:21] <Phoenixz> Hello there, is there somy very very bad bug going on at the moment that completely disrupts network on the KDE / GNome level? Since yesterday night on 4 different computers (Both Kubuntu and Ubuntu) WIFI and cabled network has failed.. Cabled networks it says that there is no cable connected, wifi just hangs in setting network address.. A manual ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask etc etc., route add default gw, and setting /etc/resolv.conf makes
[18:21] <Phoenixz> internet accessible again though
[18:21] <kaned> Has anyone seen this before?  I thought it was...interesting: https://goput.it/nyg.png (Gparted error)
[18:22] <Dr_willis_> abdel,  the alternative cd uses a text based installer.
[18:22] <Phoenixz> Even after that, KDE just keeps telling me that there is no cable connected
[18:22] <myFriend>  it says here mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14` not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2)
[18:22] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: still having http://pastie.org/3855119
[18:22] <abdel> ohh, yes i have the alt 64bit one
[18:22] <myFriend> i guess if none of this works i rather inject the usb live and try to fix it from the right?
[18:22] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: it is actually installing though, right?
[18:22] <ghabit> Help  - looking for DLNA server. GUI based and easy-to-use.
[18:22] <bdelin> hello, is it possible to view a log of commands used over ssh
[18:22] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: yes..
[18:22] <abdel> so, do i download the "regular one"
[18:22] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: despite the error
[18:23] <bdelin> my server was hijacked
[18:23] <Tiktalik> Oh god
[18:23] <CJKay> L3top: Removing .Xauthority seems to have done the lightdm trick. Thanks for all the help - glad I can finally get back to what I was doing heh
[18:23] <Tiktalik> I suggest you never ever sudo apt-get autoremove
[18:23] <Phoenixz> This happens on Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10, by the way
[18:23] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: but I want get rid of this error
[18:23] <Tiktalik> It broke a ton of shit
[18:23] <soa2ii> Hi. What's the recommended way to manage your software? apt-get or aptitude? The official server doc doesn't say … I just installed a 12.04 server.
[18:23] <SafariMonkey> any other stuff to try (I have banners on all flash content, including youtube and local files)
[18:23] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: well in your specific case it's more like a warning
[18:23] <Tiktalik> just use apt-get soa2ii
[18:23] <soa2ii> Tiktalik: Why?
[18:23] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: coz that single error brings by cluster-down…coz in my script if anything goes wrong…my whole cluster gets rollback
[18:24] <Tiktalik> soa2ii: because just about everyone uses it
[18:24] <soa2ii> Tiktalik: Yeah … that makes sense …
[18:24] <myFriend> how to fix a current install from a live USB
[18:25] <wylde> ghabit: I use mediatomb. The interface for adding files/directories is in a "web interface", but the actual configuration is in an ummm .xml file in /etc/mediatomb.
[18:25] <Dr_willis_> ive rarely had issues with apt-get autoremove, but the pacakge system can get broken/confused.. thats why it asks befor it removes.
[18:25] <Johnny> myFriend depends, how is your system broken?
[18:26] <Tiktalik> it emoved essential packages for my video driver, Dr_willis_
[18:26] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: that error shouldn't stop your script
[18:26] <L3top> Tiktalik: it is unlikely that that was the source of whatever broke anything... it just deletes the source packages, not their installs
[18:26] <myFriend> hi Johnny
[18:26] <myFriend> well i just booted from the USB
[18:26] <L3top> and only deletes those packages that it does not believe are installed
[18:26] <myFriend> the system was broken in an upgrade step
[18:27] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: because nothing is actually breaking
[18:27] <Johnny> myFriend have you tried running the fixbuntu script?
[18:27] <myFriend> Johnny to ubuntu 12.04, i tried several things on recovery mode pdkg fsck none worked
[18:27] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: that error doesn't stops my script directly…but there is a rule in script that if anything is there in stderr-stream…than consider something went wrong, and rollback everything
[18:27] <myFriend> what is that script?
[18:27] <myFriend> where is that located Johnny?
[18:27] <Dr_willis_> Tiktalik,  so? ;)
[18:27] <Phoenixz> Anybody knows anything about some current Ubuntu bug that makes multiple computers loose network on GNome / KDE level? Network can be configured manually on command line, but in KDE / GNome its basically dead... ? Since yesterda I have multiple computers showing this very same problem, all independantly..
[18:27] <Johnny> myFriend http://freenodewatch.org/fix-ubuntu
[18:27] <Phoenixz> s/loose/lose
[18:28] <L3top> your system does not run on .debs... which is what it removes, again, if it does not believe that you are using them.
[18:28] <wawowe> abhinavmehta: could try to hide the error with: apt-get install puppet 2>/dev/null
[18:28] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: hmmm…its like adding exception for this command. :)
[18:28] <abhinavmehta> wawowe: yeah..you have a good point :)
[18:28] <Tiktalik> L3top, it deleted nvidia-cg-toolkit
[18:28] <L3top> *.deb perhaps.
[18:29] <L3top> It also would have updated the Packages.gz file, and if you needed it for something else it would have been downloaded again to satisfy the dependency
[18:31] <robgraves1> hello
[18:31] <myFriend> guys is  http://freenodewatch.org/fix-ubuntu a good script?
[18:31] <myFriend> or a baddy one?
[18:32] <Resistance> myFriend, might I ask you why you would trust a random script?
[18:33] <m4v> "fix-ubuntu" is a bit ambiguos, and is... 600kb big? I wouldn't touch it.
[18:33] <myFriend> Resistance: i am trying to fix my ubuntu
[18:33] <plouffe> I'm on xubuntu 10.04, still haven't got the option to upgrade to 12.04 in update manager. Any ideas why?
[18:33] <Resistance> myFriend, i would not trust random scripts
[18:34] <myFriend> yeah Johnny what makes you think this is a good script?
[18:34] <dannel> it's a binary not a script, so.. even worse from a trust perspective
[18:34] <myFriend> Johnny: recommended it to me
[18:34] <Resistance> myFriend, rather, just ask here about what your problem is and perhaps we can help
[18:34] <myFriend> yeah Johnny contacted me in private I guess i am not sure
[18:34] <myFriend> thought he was just trying to help but this script does not look good
[18:35] <myFriend> Johnny: can you back up your sources why this script could be helpful
[18:35] <myFriend> where did you find pointers to this?
[18:35] <Resistance> myFriend, don't trust random privmsgs
[18:35] <Resistance> its an IT Security recommendation, not a random recommendation, that.
[18:35] <ghabit> wylde, how to switch on web interface of mediatomb?
[18:35] <myFriend> yeah i will not, ok so i am left with my problem
[18:35] <Resistance> myFriend, provide details here, perhaps we can help
[18:35] <myFriend> broken ubuntu upgrade and now on USB try terminal
[18:35] <wylde> ghabit: http://localhost:49152
[18:35] <myFriend> what do i run?
[18:35] <Resistance> broken how?
[18:36] <wylde> ghabit:  assuming you installed it on the machine you're using
[18:36] <ryeth> what's up everyone
[18:36] <myFriend> thanks Resistance, yeah so when i boot i get the options for recovery and i have tried dpkg, fsck, and all failed and i tried what the command suggested but also could not get ubuntu back up
[18:36] <L3top> I am incorrect Tiktalik.
[18:36] <Resistance> myFriend, what error(s) is it giving you?
[18:36] <myFriend> so i am trying now to rescue it from the usb live try install, i am on the ubuntu live, now what should i try?
[18:37] <faLUCE> hi, I can't hear audio anymore, on 11.10. From what can I start in order to solve=
[18:37] <faLUCE> ?
[18:37] <myFriend> Resistance: error on which command, when booting?
[18:37] <Resistance> mhm
[18:37] <mcb_> plouffe: Go to "update manager"  -> "Configuration" buttom --> Notify me of new versions of Ubuntu"
[18:37] <L3top> I misunderstood its function. It actually does uninstall that which it believes only to have been installed as a dependency and no longer necessary.
[18:37] <myFriend> EvilResistance: let me fetch them from the logs
[18:38] <EvilResistance> myFriend,  use a pastebin if its multiline
[18:38] <EvilResistance> !pastebin | myFriend
[18:38] <plouffe> mcb_, already did that
[18:38] <mcb_> plouffe: And what is configured in that?
[18:38] <plouffe> mcb_, set it to notify of lts releases
[18:38] <myFriend> myFriend 01:22:14 PM
[18:38] <myFriend>  it says here mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14` not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2)
[18:39] <ghabit> wylde, is it ok so much questions? Trying open videos on my tv, but it cannot play the videofiles.
[18:39] <mcb_> plouffe: You can also run "do-release-upgrade" by the CLI.
[18:39] <myFriend>  it says here mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14` not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2)
[18:39] <plouffe> mcb_, thanks, will that upgrade to 10.11 or 12.04
[18:39] <Tiktalik> Niice
[18:39] <plouffe> 10.10 I mean
[18:39] <Tiktalik> I got SSBM working finally
[18:40] <wylde> ghabit: no problem I'll help as much as I can. What make/model tv is it? Some hardware requires some configuration in the /etc/mediatomd/config.xml file.
[18:40] <mcb_> plouffe: If you are really configured to be notified only of LTS version it should put you on 12.04
[18:40] <wylde> mediatomb*
[18:40] <plouffe> mcb_, thanks
[18:40] <d0gmaz> i got this weird problem (probably something noobish) when i startup ubuntu my monitor stays black. But if i first start emergency and drop into root console and reboot the system everything everything runs fine...anyone got a clue?
[18:40] <mcb_> plouffe: But as i recall, it will tell you beforehand to what version it will try to upgrade.
[18:40] <gameid> plouffe: I got told that direct update is not possible until 12.04.1 which is probably also why it is not offered in update manager
[18:41] <mcb_> gameid: I had an 11.10 and i was notified to upgrade to 12.04.......
[18:41] <plouffe> gameid, hmm so only option to wait
[18:41] <gameid> mcb_: yeah but that's not lts
[18:42] <mcb_> gameid: Should be the same to 10.04 that was LTS...
[18:42] <gameid> plouffe: you can upgrade in steps
[18:42] <plouffe> gameid, yea, no
[18:42] <cookiemon5ter> is jre not available in ubuntu repos
[18:43] <cookiemon5ter> the regular one from java
[18:43] <Pici> gameid: You can choose to use do-release-upgrade -d if you'd really like to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04. but it won't be offered automatically until 12.04.1 is released.
[18:43] <Pici> plouffe: ^
[18:43] <plouffe> Pici, thanks
[18:43] <gameid> Pici: right, good to know
[18:45] <L3top> cookiemon5ter: you mean the one from Sun? No. You have to go there to get the official.

[18:46] <drake01> Hi guys, I am using uxterm terminal emulator. The uxterm shows any string quoted by letter 'd' instead of quotes e.g. In function 'main': is displayed as In function dmaind:  Help please
[18:46] <graft> drake01: wow that's a weird one.
[18:47] <d0gmaz> i got this weird problem (probably something noobish) when i startup ubuntu my monitor stays black. But if i first start emergency and drop into root console and reboot the system everything everything runs fine..so everytime i want to use ubuntu i first have to boot to emergency and reboot. anyone got an idea?
[18:47] <drake01> graft:  Only compiler messages or man pages shows this behaviour afaik..
[18:47] <cookiemon5ter> L3top, I think it is Oracle
[18:47] <DanielConvissor> just came across this change in 12.04, sharing for those who didn't see...  for static ip config, put dns server info in /etc/network/interfaces.  no longer goes in /etc/resolv.conf.
[18:47] <graft> does anyone know how to rename a LUKS-encrypted ext4 filesystem so that it mounts to something like /media/nice_name instead of /media/uuid-blargharblarghl?
[18:47] <graft> drake01: what's your pager?

[18:49] <ryeth> what do you folks think is better to do?  install ubuntu on a virtual pc or dual boot computer?
[18:50] <L3top> Yes... sorry... cookiemon5ter... very bad about those sorts of things.
[18:50] <graft> DanielConvissor: aha neat
[18:50] <DanielConvissor> graft: (assuming you have a dir named "/d" to serve as mount point already)
[18:50] <Dr_willis_> ryeth,  totally depends on what work you want to do with the install.
[18:51] <Dr_willis_> graft,  set the Label on the filesystem, it will use that instead of the UUID
[18:51] <Dr_willis_> graft,  using the tune2fs command.
[18:51] <RavenHursT> Need some help..
[18:52] <DanielConvissor> let me reask a question from earlier today, perhaps someone around now knows...
[18:52] <DanielConvissor> figured out how to enable automatic reboot for unattended upgrades.  but when the reboot happens, it's immediate.  is there a way to make the reboot wait x minutes?
[18:53] <RavenHursT> I upgraded to 12.04 LTE lately.. only to find that I can't get the Unity sidebar launcher to auto hide when I maximize a window... I'm running Ubuntu in a VirtualBox VM in fullscreen mode.. it worked in 11.04.. but now, even after I go in an turn on auto hide.. it just hides it and it won't come back... help!
[18:53] <bluj> how do i move locked programs on the dock (12.04)? it just slides the whole bar (e.g. all icons)
[18:53] <Dr_willis_> RavenHursT,  that setting has been changed. I recall the webupd8 blog site had a guide on getting that feature back.
[18:54] <Dr_willis_> RavenHursT,  i always set mine to never hide. and just shrunk the icon size.
[18:54] <graft> DanielConvissor: that did it, along with e2label, thanks
[18:54] <RavenHursT> Dr_willis_: any idea what the article was called?
[18:55] <Dr_willis_> RavenHursT,  webupd8 has a serach feature. :) and a big post on 'things to do after installing 12.04....' on the main header/baner.
[18:55] <Dr_willis_> RavenHursT,  also the OMGubuntu! site may have a guide/howto on it.
[18:56] <RavenHursT> Dr_willis_: yeah.. just scrolled through that.. saw a lot about using "tweaks" to change the look and behavior of the unity bar.. but nothing in there around actually just getting it to show/hide again
[18:57] <trism> RavenHursT: bug 930148 has links to several articles
[18:57] <Dr_willis_> RavenHursT,  i just used the 'hidden' setting in 'Myunity' and my left side bar now autohides/returns for me..
[18:57] <ipauldev> I realize that this isn't "ubuntu" specific, but I thought I'd ask. I'm trying to use rrdtool, it works fine locally, but when trying to do anything on a smfs mount, it raises error: 'mytest.rrd' is too small (should be 63254816 bytes)... any ideas on how I might troubleshoot?
[18:57] <Dr_willis_> RavenHursT,  you are using unity3d and not unity2d?
[18:57] <myFriend> wow Johnny was a hacker
[18:57] <RavenHursT> Dr_willis_: how can I tell? lol
[18:57] <myFriend> ok i am back with my ubuntu problem
[18:57] <Kaco> evening
[18:57] <myFriend> anyone trustworthy can help me?
[18:58] <taxman> myFriend, Johnny walker?
[18:58] <sasha1> Hi, what's the best way to create a usb installer for Ubuntu 12.04? My OS is Debian.
[18:59] <Fyodorovna> sasha1, no best really but unetbootin is popular
[18:59] <sasha1> Perhaps I can just use dd?
[19:00] <Fyodorovna> sasha1, I believe you can with 12.04
[19:00] <meganerd> sasha1: if you knew what you were doing dd could be useful
[19:00] <sasha1> Ok. Good, thanks
[19:00] <rowley> sasha1, what about the bootloader?
[19:00] <madsj> whenever I run "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade", parts of the output looks http://pastebin.com/MVgjHedt I'd highly appreciate tips on how to solve this
[19:00] <meganerd> sasha1: but you would end up with something not optimised for flash
[19:00] <madsj> "sudo apt-get install -f" does not help
[19:01] <madsj> neither does "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a"
[19:01] <linuxmonkey> steps to create it on ubuntu could be similar on Debian http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu
[19:02] <Fyodorovna> madsj, you getting a partial upgrade offer in the manager?
[19:02] <Dr_willis_> You can dd or cat the ubuntu ISO file to a flash drive and get a bootable usb that way.  the Pendrivelinux web site has some nicer tools to do the job however.
[19:02] <francesco_> hi °°b
[19:03] <taxman> there is a built-in "Startup Disk Creator" in 12.04
[19:03] <RavenHursT> Dr_willis_: how can I tell which unity I'm using (2D or 3D)?
[19:04] <bcuraboy> hi guys.i would like to add info of the music i'm listening on guayadeque or on other player to my conky config..how can i do that?
[19:05] <Fyodorovna> RavenHursT, by your choice of ubuntu or ubuntu 2d at the login with the dropdown gear.
[19:05] <d0gmaz> plz anyone when i start up ubuntu from grub my screen stays black but when i go to the emergency kernel and reboot and startup my normal kernel it works! what could that be i dont whant to boot twice to startup normally...
[19:05] <RavenHursT> ok.. wtf?  I installed MyUnity and clicked to start it... it's sitting in the launcher, but no window ever came up
[19:05] <myFriend> if i do a reinstall from the usb install will it keep my data?
[19:05] <myFriend> http://askubuntu.com/questions/127065/did-my-upgrade-from-11-10-to-12-04-fail
[19:06] <Stormx2> Hey all. ssh stopped working today. putting it into verbose mode, I see the last line is "debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 279" and then it hangs. This affects multiple servers that I know to be up - others can SSH into em.
[19:07] <RavenHursT> ok.. I'm on Unity 3D but 1) still can't get the sidebar to show up w/o hitting my "start" key on my keyboard and 2) MyUnity won't open
[19:07] <Fyodorovna> myFriend, is that you on the link?
[19:07] <SunTsu> Stormx2: what didi you put in debug mode? client or server?
[19:07] <myFriend> no
[19:07] <madsj> Fyodorovna: yes, but that doesn't help either
[19:07] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, is your home folder on a separate partion
[19:07] <Stormx2> SunTsu, client. Just passed  it -v
[19:07] <myFriend> Captain let me check i don't think so
[19:07] <madsj> I deleted /var/lib/dpkg/info/emacs* because I had trouble with emacs
[19:07] <myFriend> no all is on one folder
[19:07] <SunTsu> Stormx2: Debugging from the client won't help
[19:07] <Fyodorovna> madsj, I was not speaking to you and welcome to my ignore. :)
[19:07] <myFriend> what can i do now? should i lost all my data?
[19:08] <myFriend> i wish to just fix this current install
[19:08] <myFriend> but how to do it?
[19:08] <myFriend> ii have been forever trying to ask here :'(
[19:08] <Stormx2> SunTsu, it won't? But it's surely a client-side issue
[19:09] <genger> is there a way to make the  notification appear on both screens ?
[19:09] <Fyodorovna> myFriend, If me I would back up what you need before doing anything. Pdersonally I would just fresh install but I save reinstall lists and other processes to speed installs.
[19:09] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, then no if you install from usb or cd it will be over written. what I would do is logout then hit ctrl+alt then f2
[19:09] <SunTsu> Stormx2: how do you know that it's client related and not server?
[19:09] <WoosterB2> When Ubuntu is booting on an EFI Mac, does it depend on EFI initially to display graphics?
[19:10] <Stormx2> SunTsu, 3 different servers, friends can SSH into em
[19:10] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, that will drop you to a command line then run sudo apt-get update then your pgrade-manager -d
[19:10] <_nedR> does anyone know how to change alt+tab and alt+~ behaviour on 12.04..
[19:10] <Captain_Proton> upgrade-manager -d
[19:10] <SunTsu> Stormx2: then use more -v
[19:10] <Stormx2> One is a totally different machine running in another datacentre on another continent
[19:10] <Stormx2> SunTsu, OK
[19:10] <RavenHursT> Anyone have any ideas?
[19:10] <SunTsu> Stormx2: pastey the result to the server in topic
[19:11] <schultza> i am trying to set up a network share (smb) from linux (server) to windows (client)... i am having problems logging in with my linux credentials (and they are correct)
[19:11] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, since the desktop is not running it should go though fine
[19:11] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: ok i ran that
[19:12] <myFriend> i got some errors though could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock -- open permission denied
[19:12] <Stormx2> SunTsu, oh weird. I think ssh-agent is stuck in an I/O wait as I can't even kill -9 it :o
[19:12] <Captain_Proton> schultza, did you create a samba user? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/adding-a-user-to-a-samba-smb-share/
[19:12] <RavenHursT> Anyone know what the process for myunity looks like?
[19:12] <RavenHursT> I'm trying to kill it..
[19:12] <RavenHursT> see if I can't open it again
[19:12] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, you need to add sudo
[19:12] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, before any command
[19:12] <SunTsu> Stormx2: run a different one
[19:13] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, my fault did not added that to command
[19:13] <dale> What is a zombie process, and how can I find/kill it ?
[19:14] <antonio_> hello i installed gimp 2.8 and I need to find it's brushes folder on 12.04, i used ~/.Gimp-2.8/brushes and nautilus command   and all i get is "No such file or directory" : /
[19:14]  * tommylommykins waves
[19:14] <SunTsu> dale: a prozess that "died" i.e. ended and hangs around to return it's status to it's parent process - which apparently didn't wait() for it
[19:14] <SunTsu> dale: and "what's dead can never die" ;)
[19:14] <jrib> antonio_: why do you need to find its folder for brushes?
[19:14] <dale> So it's nothing to worry about then?
[19:14]  * tommylommykins wonders where the best place to put a script that 1) needs root permissions 2) runs on startup 3) runs as long as the system is up is
[19:14] <tommylommykins> rc.local?
[19:15] <zackiv31> pulseaudio just blew my eardrums out... ow.
[19:15] <crack> hi guys, i have one small problem on updating wxWidget 2.9.3 lib http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Installing_and_configuring_under_Ubuntu guide to install it. I am stacking on second phase. I dont know what to write in ubuntu version, nothing works... I am using ubuntu 12.04LTS
[19:15] <tommylommykins> Or do scripts have to terminate quickly if you put them in rc.local?
[19:15] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: i get command line warning `dbus-launch --autolaunch=# --binary-syntax --close-std-err exited with non zero exit status 1: Autolaunch error  X11 initialization failed.
[19:15] <SunTsu> dale: nope
[19:15] <antonio_> jrib: i need to add some stuff from gimp paint studio
[19:15] <graft> tommylommykins: isn't this what init is for?
[19:15] <jrib> tommylommykins: rc.local is fine.  You could also just use @reboot in root's crontab or create a proper upstart script
[19:15] <schultza> why does linux not set up users on install?
[19:15] <genger> does anyone know how to get ttys back ?
[19:16] <tommylommykins> hmm, ok :)
[19:16] <craigbass1976> I can chroot to a separate drive, but anyone know how I can back up some mysql databases from there?  Or, is there a file I can just grab?
[19:16] <myFriend> also before i got reading package lists .... Done W: Duplicate sources.list entry cdrom://Ubunutu 12:04 LTS precise .... i386 packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/Ubuntu....)
[19:16] <JonEdney> Is there a way to install Apache 2.2.22 and PHP 5.3.10 on 11.10?  My host isn't able to accomadate 12.04 on my VPS yet.
[19:16] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: hmm
[19:16] <craigbass1976> schultza, it doesn't?  It sets up at least one
[19:16] <jrib> antonio_: if you're sure that's the right path, you can create it
[19:17] <antonio_> jrib: strange thing is "nautilus gimp" command can't find it and it's installed ?
[19:18] <jrib> antonio_: can't find what?
[19:18] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: what else can i try
[19:18] <myFriend> hmm
[19:18] <antonio_> jrib: gimp ?
[19:18] <_nedR> RavenHursT, killing gbr2 seems to do the trick ..though am not sure what really gbr2 does... see man gbr2
[19:19] <bob__> when trying to test 12.04 from cd no launcher, whats up?
[19:19] <RavenHursT> Man I wish I could figure out why my unity bar won't freakin' hide and show
[19:19] <jrib> antonio_: nautilus accepts a URI as an argument, not sure what you expect to happen by just passing "gimp"
[19:19] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:20] <RavenHursT> really agrivating
[19:20] <pweber> :
[19:20] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: does not output anything
[19:20] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, that should fix the corrupt install, it my revert you back to 11.10 but then you can start freash
[19:20] <bob__> when trying to test 12.04 from cd no launcher, whats up?
[19:21] <jrib> antonio_: also, isn't gimp 2.6 the version in ubuntu?
[19:21] <antonio_> jrib: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/gimp-28-stable-finally-available-for.html
[19:21] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: it did not out put anything
[19:21] <myFriend> should i just assume is fixed?
[19:21] <antonio_> I followed that
[19:21] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, just run and out you back at the command prompt
[19:22] <myFriend> ?
[19:22] <myFriend> it did not do anything
[19:22] <_nedR> does anyone know how to change alt+tab and alt+~ behaviour on 12.04..
[19:22] <myFriend> rebooting now wonder if it is fixed
[19:22] <myFriend> we will see
[19:22] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, did it just run and put you back at the command prompt
[19:22] <myFriend> yes
[19:23] <greenit> hi, which drivers shall i use for an nvidia gtx 570? are the opensource alrdy very good? i'd like to use them, but i want the 3d-unity and sound over hdmi would be nice ;)
[19:23] <myFriend> now i am back at the 5 options ubuntu generic, recovery mode, previos versions, memory test, serial memory test
[19:23] <myFriend> what should i try?
[19:24] <anon> Is there any easy way to remove all old kernels?
[19:24] <jrib> antonio_: I hope you read the warning associated with that ppa
[19:24] <Captain_Proton> ubuntu generic
[19:24] <anon> I was just trying to install a new kernel and am getting the error "no space left on /boot"
[19:24] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: mountall: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2) General error mounting filesystems. A maintenance shell will now be started Ctrl D will terminate this shell and reboot the system
[19:25] <_nedR> RavenHursT, have you tried the option given in "Appearance" application > Behaviour tab
[19:25] <jrib> anon: remove the corresponding linux-image* package for the old kernel
[19:25] <anon> jrib, hoe?
[19:25] <anon> how?
[19:25] <coolpro> Pleomax webcam isn't working - it just doesn't show the view.
[19:25] <jrib> anon: using your favorite package manager
[19:25] <RavenHursT> _nedR: yup.  First place I went.. that just hides and then the only way to access it is via the keyboard
[19:25] <anon> jrib, what is the name of the package that I have to remove?
[19:26] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, are you on wireless or plugin to the internet
[19:26] <_nedR> is it turned ON.. and have you tried increasing the Reveal Sensitivity
[19:26] <myFriend> wireless but i can plug it
[19:26] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: why?
[19:26] <jrib> anon: I don't know.  The kernel is provided by packages whose names begin with "linux-image".  So find the packages corresponding to the kernels you want to remove and remove them.  Make sure you leave at least one around...
[19:26] <greenit> anon, search for "linux-image-3.0" and look which are installed, delete the oldest ones
[19:27] <_nedR> RavenHurst, is it turned ON.. and have you tried increasing the Reveal Sensitivity
[19:27] <greenit> anon, sry, search for "linux-image-3"
[19:27] <RavenHursT> _nedR: yup.. tried that too.. looks like it's a bug when Unity is running in a VM: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/971018
[19:27] <Captain_Proton> myFriend, if you can plugin then you will have internet access on try the upgrade for here
[19:28] <Captain_Proton> i think you are caught between upgrades
[19:28] <anon> greenit, only linus-image files or other ones as well?
[19:28] <myFriend> Captain_Proton: tell me what i shall do
[19:29] <Sicp> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my iMac and this is the third attempt, I keep getting "Error loading operating system" when I boot back up
[19:29] <Sicp> the first 2 attempts had the Mac OS alongside Ubuntu
[19:29] <Sicp> this time around it's only Ubuntu and it just finished installing, I reboot and I get that error again
[19:29] <antonio_> jrib:  I just needed to press ctrl+H in file manager to reveal it :|
[19:30] <myFriend> Sicp:  nice
[19:30] <linuxR> how can I install the complete kernel sources in ubuntu?
[19:30] <linuxR> anyone got a hint?
[19:30] <_nedR> oh ok.. well i am out of ammo then
[19:30] <Sicp> nice yea?
[19:30] <Sicp> lol
[19:30] <jrib> antonio_: files that start with a '.' won't be show in nautilus by default, yes
[19:31] <antonio_> jrib: you could tell me that before >:)
[19:31] <bob__> when trying to test 12.04 from cd no launcher, whats up?
[19:31] <anon> What is the command to remove an old kernel and all the files it comes with?
[19:31] <Keo-w> if i want mail.blah.com to resolve to <IP_ADDRESS> on my local box don't i just add <IP_ADDRESS> mail.blah.com in my /etc/hosts file?
[19:32] <jrib> antonio_: I thought you were passing the path to nautilus « nautilus ~/.gimp-2.5/brushes » in which case it wouldn't matter
[19:32] <jrib> anon: you want to use command line or gui?
[19:32] <anon> jrib, command line
[19:32] <jrib> anon: do you know how to use apt-get to remove a package?
[19:33] <anon> yes
[19:33] <Moc> How does one get to use the mouse in ALT-TAB ?
[19:33] <anon> But a Kernel is not only one single file, is it.
[19:33] <jrib> anon: as I said before, a kernel is provided by packages named linux-image*
[19:33] <anon> jrib, all the dependencies have to be uninstalled as well.
[19:33] <wylde> linuxR: apt-get source linux-source
[19:34] <plouffe> bob__, did you check boot sequence in BIOS?
[19:34] <jrib> anon: you should just need to remove the proper linux-image* package...
[19:34] <Moc> or, how do I disable the group application in alt-tab ?
[19:34] <anon> jrib, how do I find out what kernels are installd by command?
[19:34] <Moc> anon: uname -a
[19:34] <jrib> anon: dpkg -l 'linux-image*' | grep '^ii'
[19:35] <linuxR> wylde, that does not work (gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found)
[19:35] <linuxR> Im going nuts :(
[19:35] <anon> Moc,  that only shows the one in use
[19:35] <bob__> booting off of cd just fine but when loaded no launcher
[19:35] <craigbass1976> Where is mysql data stored in Ubuntu?
[19:35] <Moc> it has to be installed to be in use ;)
[19:35] <jrib> anon: make sure you do not remove all your kernels.
[19:35] <craigbass1976> mysql says /usr/local/mysql is the likely place, but I don't see it
[19:35] <anon> jrib, thx
[19:36] <jrib> craigbass1976: try chopping off the /local/ part
[19:36] <wylde> linux4u: ahh yeah I see, it didn't grab it. sudo apt-get install linux-source   <-- will get the current kernel source.
[19:36] <Moc> dont remove kernel, just change the default one
[19:37] <mcb_>  craigbass1976: do $grep datadir   /etc/mysql/my.cf. It will tell you were you have it configured.
[19:37] <greenit> anon, if you rly want an easy way, install ubuntu tweak (http://ubuntu-tweak.com/) and go to janitor --> old kernels
[19:37] <linuxmonkey> I just found out encrypting my home folder wasnt the best idea when I installed 12.04 lol cause a few services i have need files there and fail to start when pc is rebooted :(
[19:37] <Moc> :/ I tried...
[19:37] <anon> greenit, thx
[19:38] <Keo-w> if i want mail.blah.com to resolve to <IP_ADDRESS> on my local box don't i just add <IP_ADDRESS> mail.blah.com in my /etc/hosts file?
[19:38] <marsje> In 12.04 Alt key should bring up the HUD? It doesn't. By Windows key bring up what I think is the HUD. Correct?
[19:39] <greenit> marsje, if you tab the alt-key for a very short duration, u have the hud
[19:40] <wawowe> Keo-w: yes
[19:40] <Keo-w> wawowe i did that and ping it and it doesn't beleive me. it wants to use dns instead
[19:40] <marsje> greenit: nor long nor a short press does anything at all
[19:41] <marsje> graytron: is there any backup key for that?
[19:41] <marsje> oops
[19:41] <marsje> he left quick
[19:41] <marsje> hit and run answer...
[19:41] <craigbass1976> mcb_, jrib there's not a file for each database?  I'd already found /var/lib/mysql but nothing in there looked familiar
[19:42] <jrib> craigbass1976: /var/lib/mysql is where they're kept on my 10.04 servers
[19:42] <wawowe> Keo-w: it will only apply to that box, but it should believe you
[19:42] <marsje> is there any other key that brings up the HUD besides the Alt key?
[19:42] <craigbass1976> jrib, and do you see a file for each db?
[19:42] <jrib> craigbass1976: yes
[19:43] <craigbass1976> hrmmm
[19:43] <wawowe> Keo-w: like my hosts file has <IP_ADDRESS> uranus, so i can just type ping uranus
[19:43] <craigbass1976> Well, screw it.  Perhaps I didnt' have any and was only hitting remote dbs
[19:45] <erle-> how to install particular 32 bit libs in 64 bit precise?
[19:46] <mcb_> craigbass1976: In /etc/mysql/my.cf is where your DATADIR is configured. If it says that your files are in /var/lib/mysql, they should be there. As i upgraded from preveous version, my files are there. There is a directory for each database I have.
[19:46] <Skipp_OSX> I am trying to install vmware-tools on Ubuntu 12.04 server and am running into problems building the vmnet kernel module. I've installed gcc, make, binutils, and the linux kernel-headers for my version, is there anything else I need to install?
[19:46] <marsje> any way I can permanently enable the "shutdown" option in unity, so I won't have to press the alt-key to make it show?
[19:46] <glebaron> http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/condor.html shows that the condor package should be part of the main repository.
[19:47] <glebaron> But when I apt-cache search condor, it does not show up.
[19:47] <jrib> glebaron: this is #ubuntu
[19:47] <glebaron> yes.
[19:47] <mcb_> craigbass1976: But what do you plan to do with it anyway? If it is backup or copying , you should consider using mysqldump.......
[19:47] <Dreamer3> hey can anyone point me in the right direction for rules to stem off a DDOS attack?
[19:48] <jrib> glebaron: you are linking to a debian repository
[19:48] <glebaron> Ubuntu 12.04 LTS “Precise Pangolin” (precise) [main]:

[19:48] <Dreamer3> right now looks like the issue is tons of open tcp connections
[19:48] <Dreamer3> the box is fine
[19:48] <faLUCE> hi, I can't hear audio anymore, on 11.10. From what can I start in order to solve=
[19:48] <faLUCE> ?
[19:48] <Dreamer3> so i assume i can tweak the firewall
[19:49] <craigbass1976> mcb_, lucid to precise upgrade that went terribly wrong.
[19:50] <jrib> glebaron: actually I think what you are linking to is just a page that talks about some 3rd party repository, is that right?
[19:50] <glebaron> I could be.
[19:50] <jiffe98> I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04, I have 4 3TB disks, I created an 8GB partition for / on one, 8GB on the second for /var on the second, 8GB on the 3rd for /usr on the 4th and 8GB on the last for swap
[19:50] <jrib> glebaron: I think so :)
[19:50] <linuxR> hi all. Is there any way of downloading an ubuntu kernel *including* the used config?
[19:50] <jiffe98> when I do this, the next screen in the install says my setup requires a separate partition for a boot loader?
[19:51] <glebaron> jrib, check this: On my 10.04 LTS system:
[19:51] <mcb_> craigbass1976: Good luck then. Hope you have backups....
[19:51] <glebaron> jrib, apt-cache search condor

[19:52] <balazs> hello, can anyone help me with video drivers ? after fresh install my dual monitors were recognized correctly. after a package update I cannot mirror them. Get this error: required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(3840, 1080), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1920, 1920)
[19:52] <mct> Am I missing a very obvious way of accessing the grub boot menu under 12.04?  I apparently mis-typed my password while installing on a VirtualBox VM, so I was going to boot with init=/bin/bash to correct it, but I'm not actually seeing a grub prompt?  I hit escape as the machine was booting a few times with no luck as well.

[19:53] <coolpro> Hello, I was trying to upgrade Ubuntu, and the upgrade interrupted. And PC restarted. Now I can't finish upgrading and access/login my primary user
[19:53] <jrib> mct: hold down shift
[19:53] <mct> jrib: Thanks!
[19:53] <wawowe> Keo-w: can you pastebin your hosts?

[19:54] <glebaron> jrib, condor is listed in the apt-cache of my 10.04 system but not my 12.04 system. I am trying to understand why.
[19:54] <beyler> chromium http://i46.tinypic.com/2cp9u28.png  What is the reason it 12.04 xubuntu
[19:54] <jrib> glebaron: apt-cache policy condor
[19:54] <jrib> glebaron: (on a pastebin this time)
[19:54] <jrib> glebaron: (and for your 10.04 system)

[19:57] <nyuszika7h> Hi,  is there a simple way to get my printer working without HPLIP? I remember Lucid detecting my printer and installing some basic drivers for it, but in Precise, I had to install HPLIP.
[19:57] <nyuszika7h> HPLIP's tray icon has an annoying bug which causes duplicate menu entries.
[19:57] <glebaron> jrib, 12.04: http://pastebin.com/n3jFdD8A
[19:58] <osse> I am having some after installing 12.04. I'm experiencing that Ubuntu sometimes can't change settings (keyboard layout) and can't remember changed settings after rebooting (Compiz). Any help with where I can even start debugging this would be most appreciated.
[19:58] <jrib> glebaron: so it's no longer in the repositories apparently.  Maybe check bugs.ubuntu.com to find out why
[20:00] <foolove> i want to decompress a gunzip file gunzip -d filename

[20:01] <foolove> would it be gunzip -d filename newfilename
[20:01] <Oasa> yes foolove
[20:02] <neo_> I tried post-up in /etc/network/interfaces to execute shell script that modifies resolv.conf but it doesn't work at all
[20:02] <glebaron> Pici, this makes no sense.
[20:02] <Oasa> Does any one here know how to list rooms in empathy?
[20:02] <Pici> glebaron: I think its rather convoluted myself too.

[20:14] <meck0> Hi! I have videoproblems in Ubuntu 11.10. The picture has a white/blue tone on it. Though of codec problem or gfx-driver (Nvidia 8800GT). The same with several mediaplayers also VLC. Have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. Any clue?
[20:15] <osse> What program can I use to browse the settings stored in ~/.config/dconf/user ?
[20:15] <BrandonBolton> guntbert, even when there is no password? I am trying to make it easier for my mom to use the computer and have her automatically log into the computer.
[20:15] <Oasa> meck0: Can you post a screenshot?
[20:16] <guntbert> BrandonBolton: in that case you must remove the password from the key ring - I didn't do that in a long time - let me look
[20:16] <BrandonBolton> guntbert, Thank you very much. :)
[20:17] <skx`> what's the best release for a netbook (asus 1000he - 1.6Ghz with 2gb ram) ?

[20:17] <Oasa> meck0: Did you try using X windows system as the output?

[20:17] <terwine> Hello! I'm having trouble getting a SAMBA/AD share to work properly in Ubuntu 12.04. Was working in 10.04 but I upgraded yesterday and it is broken.
[20:18] <twig11> What could be causing weird corruption of the graphics when I leave an account logged in for an extended period? It happens in 12.04 and has been happening since 11.04. I'm running 12.04 on a Dell GX520 with Intel 82945G/GZ integrated graphics.
[20:18] <skx`> im scared that 11 and 12v will be too heavy for a netbook
[20:18] <BrandonBolton> skx, on mine, I have no problem with the default desktop.
[20:18] <skx`> which one? 11? or 12?
[20:19] <BrandonBolton> skx, don't be scared. It runs really well. I am running 12.04 LTS on my netbook.
[20:19] <guntbert> BrandonBolton: I found it: open "passwords and encryption"
[20:19] <skx`> ok thanks for confirmation - will give it a try
[20:19] <meck0> Oasa, just wanted to make a screenshot when I see now that videos are looking as they should now :) Some updates where installed earlier today, it must have been something there :)
[20:19] <BrandonBolton> guntbert, okay I did.
[20:19] <BrandonBolton> skx, no problem. Cheers. :)
[20:19] <mcb_> skx: If you are afraid. Try it with live CD first. Like it, isntall it!
[20:20] <guntbert> BrandonBolton: now in the first tab right click on Passwords:login, and select  "change password", leave the new pw empty
[20:20] <BlueWolf> Oasa, I have done the following: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current then sudo nvidia-xconfig.?

[20:22] <voyteg> francaise or ENGLIS?

[20:22] <BlueWolf> Oasa: How and where?
[20:22] <voyteg> currently i am testing from flash memory

[20:25] <Oasa> BlueWolf: Just to confirm, which version ubuntu are u using and which desktop ? (Unity or Gnome?)

How much mbs it will take.because i am short of net connection
[20:32] <Oasa> akhil_ It doesnt require that much data
[20:33] <Oasa> akhil_: it just updates the package lists.
[20:33] <L3top> akhil_: that last command by Oasa will not work, and it is just a package update... I would guess 20 mb.
[20:33] <oles> Jordan_U, i cant boot kernel, a need this option before boot
ok
thanks
Thanks
[20:34] <elgaton> akhil_: You're welcome
Thanks
[20:34] <Oasa> L3top: Akhil: yup there was a typo :(
[20:34] <Jordan_U> oles: Then hold shift during boot to get to the grub menu, press 'e' to edit the first entry, then add "noacpi" after "quiet splash" (on the same line).
[20:34] <dale> How would I go about changing the size of icons on the desktop, and in the dock/launcher ?
i figured out that :)
[20:35] <naryfa> Hi, can anybody tell me what is responsible for placing windows on the desktop in Ubuntu? Is it metacity? I find that windows just pop out at random positions when opened. They don't have a memory of sort - of where they were closed previously. Is it even possible to achieve that?
[20:35] <Oasa> dale: Unity or Gnome ?
[20:35] <oles> Jordan_U, i tryied this, but it couldnt help me
[20:35] <dale> unity
[20:35] <Jordan_U> oles: What happened when you tried it?
[20:36] <Oasa> dale: Click on Change Dekstop Background and change Launcer icon size
[20:36] <oles> Jordan_U, kernel boot hanged
[20:36] <Oasa> dale: and for icon you can just right click and resize
[20:37] <Jordan_U> oles: Are you sure that you added "noacpi" to the same line as "quiet splash"?
i tried the command but now in my software center,for every software,its showing that its provided by Universe and then its updating cache.What should i do?
[20:37] <dale> Oasa; I can change the background, but dont see anything about launcher icon size
[20:37] <elgaton> akhil_: Let it update the cache.
[20:37] <Jordan_U> oles: Then pressed ctrl+X or F10 to boot the modified entry?
[20:37] <akhil_> but its taking too much size?
[20:37] <oles> Jordan_U, yes
[20:37] <Oasa> dale: there is something called launcher icon size towards the bottom. Btw, which version of unity ?
[20:38] <dale> Oasa; ubuntu 11.10
[20:38] <wurble> On upgrade to precise it seems that the bootloader is not being found. How do I troubleshoot?

[20:38] <Jordan_U> wurble: What do you mean by "the bootloader is not being found"? What are the actual symptoms you see?
[20:38] <mauri54> !lista
[20:39] <dale> Changing the icon size works, but only changes the one single icon.. I want all of them on desktop changed to the same size.

[20:40] <Jordan_U> wurble: That sounds like a kernel panick, not like a problem with the bootloader.

[20:41] <L3top> hello t0rx__  still not running 3d accel?
[20:41] <akhil_> ok then thanks everyone and bye :)

[20:41] <Oasa> akhil_ bye
[20:41] <Oasa> itaws: /msg nickserv
[20:42] <Jordan_U> wurble: There are many ways that a bootloader can fail. I can tell that this is none of those because capslock flashing is the primary signal for a kernel panic.
[20:42] <schultza> is gnome-menu still available?
[20:42] <t0rx__> Hey L3top, no dice.  I installed the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver from the PPA but still X crashes on start with anything but vesa driver

[20:45] <faustische> Marzata, thanks
[20:45] <Fyodorovna> dale, 10.10 was end of release and officially not supported here, which is a bummer if you need help on the channel
[20:45] <Oasa> dale: Hope myunity fixed your problem.
[20:45] <dale> Oasa, I probably should.. Probably more used to gnome then unity. lol
[20:45] <Fyodorovna> s'was'is

[20:45] <Oasa> dale: Welcome
 but how to do it privately because i think it is not done publically !
[20:46] <t0rx__> L3top, How would I tell about the GPU?  Not sure if it helps but here is the output from inix:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/965539/

[20:48] <dale> Oasa; I got the launcher resized to my liking.. Is there anyway to have the desktop icons all resized instead of doing each by itself?
[20:49] <borlax> Oasa: No, it has one onboard
[20:49] <borlax> Oasa: i5 proccessor
[20:49] <Oasa> borlax: then i dont have any idea. I had that trouble with dual gpus. Try restarting the xserver. I donno mate. Any errors to it might help

[20:50] <borlax> Oasa: installing gdm lets me into the system, i just would rather have lightdm
[20:50] <manitou> sry !
[20:50] <maximida_> If I download a package from apt, how can I get the source code? I install ncurses-examples which has cool little examples of ncurses but they didn't include the source code
[20:51] <Harkins> If I'm using a pptp vpn, does all of my traffic use it all the time? Do I have to do anything extra to ensure this is the case?
[20:51] <Oasa> hmm..borlax. Can you see if you have Rendering on ?
[20:51] <Oasa> dale:
[20:52] <t0rx__> L3top, Is there a way I can see info about my GPU or it's driver or something?
[20:52] <maximida_> lshw -c video
[20:53] <maximida_> Torx: lshw -c video
[20:53] <lkj> Does anyone know how to get subclipse working. It says I need a later version of javaHL??
[20:53] <Oasa> dale: if am right
[20:53] <Jordan_U> maximida_: "apt-get source packagename" will download that package's source (saving it in your current directory).
[20:53] <balleyne> I was kicked out of GNOME when running the upgrade to 12.04 (Unity stuff disappeared, then next thing I knew I was at the log in screen). Trying `sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a`, but it just keeps churning away at the CPU with little activity in top and *no* output...
[20:53] <sliddjur> Since ram is so cheap now, is it possible to load the whole OS onto the RAM. If im running a diskless system with just an USB stick?
[20:53] <Oasa> dale: Open any folder and go edit->preference
[20:54] <Oasa> and change the icon %
[20:54] <Oasa> but i suppose it affects all icons not just the desktops
[20:54] <balleyne> it was complaining at a version number status issue, cycling back and forth between two... I manually adjusted the statuses, still looks like it's in some kind of loop, just no warnings now
[20:54] <Oasa> but there;s where you have to dig
[20:55] <Jordan_U> sliddjur: Yes, it's easy to do that with a Live system (as in LiveCD/USB) but much more difficult with a system that you can actually properly upgrade and use normally.
[20:55] <Oasa> dale: Some one else should be able to help you :(
[20:55] <balleyne> oops... nm, I'm running the wrong command...
[20:55] <Jordan_U> sliddjur: Linux's file caching is good, I don't expect you'll get much benefit from loading everything into RAM at boot.
[20:56] <sliddjur> Jordan_U: doesnt just a live CD boot up the OS, but not put the apps in ram? What im thinking of is loading a XBMC-ubuntu live CD
[20:57] <dale> Oasa, lol.. now the icons in my home folder are so small. I tried changing it back, but it doesn't change the active folder
[20:57] <dale> wierd
[20:57] <Oasa> dale: :S
[20:58] <Jordan_U> sliddjur: Ubuntu LiveCDs support a "toram" kernel parameter which copies everything into RAM at boot.
[20:58] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> how do I open a file with a program that is in a lower directory? I have tried with "/" and "\" but, uhm
[20:58] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: use "../../"
[20:58] <raelsam> hi everyone ! it's my fist time on irc !
[20:59] <raelsam> *first
[20:59] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: (and so on, every "../" is for one level)
[20:59] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> I meant is is in a folder in the folder of the program.. :P
[20:59] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> not above it
[20:59] <dale> Meh. What a complete pain in the rear.
[20:59] <Oasa> raelsam: What brings you to #ubuntu?
[20:59] <dale> Why something so easy has to be so complicated is beyond me.
[20:59] <itaws> how to install update by terminal ?
[20:59] <dale> lmao
[21:00] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> its called hemoroides :P
[21:00] <maximida_> JordanU: that command switched to ncurses and not ncurses-examples :(
[21:00] <|Slacker|> hello...I have installed the latest nvidia drivers but now it crashes compiz, how do I revert to the drivers that come with ubuntu?
[21:00] <|Slacker|> thanks
[21:00] <raelsam> @itaws sudo apt-get upgrade
[21:00] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: Use "./foldername/programname"
[21:00] <Oasa> sudo apt-get upgrade
[21:01] <Oasa> make sure you do sudo apt-get update before that
[21:01] <elgaton> |Slacker|: Open Restricted Drivers again, select the driver and mark "Disable"
[21:01] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> ah
[21:01] <sliddjur> Ok, but what about installing ubuntu on a USB stick, are home folder files and such saved onto the USB stick then?
[21:01] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> elgaton: thanks!
[21:01] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: You're welcome
[21:01] <itaws> i used that command it is not installing all update ?
[21:01] <Jordan_U> maximida_: That's because the source package "ncurses" creates many binary packages, one of which is ncurses-examples.
[21:01] <Oasa> itaws: :S
[21:01] <Brustofski-Fan> how do i reinstall the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'  ??
[21:01] <|Slacker|> elgaton, I did this already but now it's using a driver called gallium and then my fonts get crappy in the browser
[21:01] <raelsam> like Oasa said make sure you've got sudo apt-get update before
[21:02] <maximida_> Jordan_U I see, so how could I get the source?
[21:02] <Jordan_U> maximida_: You just did.
[21:02] <maximida_> Oh, i see
[21:02] <elgaton> Brustofski-Fan: Open a terminal and issue the command "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup"
[21:02] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> must i write very directory from root? the terminal is in "root" i guess
[21:03] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: Just use "cd foldername" to enter the directory you want to go into
[21:04] <elgaton> |Slacker|: which graphics card type are you using (ATI, nVidia or Intel)?
[21:04] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> so if I cd my way to the directory, and then issue the open program command, i dont need to use the previous answer, yes?
[21:04] <Brustofski-Fan> elgaton, after i asked that i figured thats what it was
[21:04] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: Yes (make sure to put a "./" in front of the program name, however)
[21:05] <t0rx__> L3top, Not sure if this helps but here is a lspci -v -s dump: http://paste.ubuntu.com/965570/
[21:05] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> im just wring the program name as it is, has worked so far
[21:05] <|Slacker|> elgaton, nvidia
[21:05] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> nomather which folder im in
[21:05] <|Slacker|> elgaton, geforce 7100
[21:06] <|Slacker|> onboard
[21:06] <Oasa> |Slacker| get the noveaux driver
[21:06] <syddraf> Is there a way to check which applications are receiving keybind events? The volume controls on this computer appear to be decreasing the volume in the notify, but they aren't actually affecting PA or ALSA.
[21:06] <|Slacker|> Oasa,good idea...I'll try this one
[21:06] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> when I try to cd myself there, I get bash: ./rootdirectoryname: No such file or directory.
 i a using 12.04 LTS  and it is my first experience for LTS !
[21:07] <Oasa> http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau
[21:07] <Oasa> |Slacker|
[21:07] <|Slacker|> thanks
[21:07] <Jordan_U> caNtGetMuchMoreN: What is the exact command you ran?
[21:07] <Oasa> itaws: LTS is no different from the others. Just that it is a bit stable
[21:07] <L3top> t0rx__: sudo lshw -C video
[21:07] <Oasa> more stable* and you get 6 years
[21:07] <Oasa> of service
[21:07] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> excact: cd pentest
[21:08] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> then cd ./pentest
[21:08] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> then  cd /pentest

[21:08] <elgaton> caNtGetMuchMoreN: No problem - glad you figured it out
[21:08] <Jordan_U> caNtGetMuchMoreN: What are you actually trying to run, and why?
[21:08] <itaws> only the recommended updates are not getting upgrades !
[21:08] <Oasa> ThinkT510 : itaws: 5 years. Sorry

[21:09] <arkavalefear> hi
[21:09] <tafelpoo1> hi all, anyone a good tutorial for installing an ubuntu using debootstrap?
[21:09] <Oasa> hi arkavalefear
[21:09] <tafelpoo1> I have a 11.10 running but I want to downgrade to a 10.04LTS
[21:10] <elgaton> tafelpoo1: You'll need to reinstall from scratch
[21:10] <caNtGetMuchMoreN> Jordan_U: trying to learn aircrack-ng on my iphone shared wifi connection to the workstation. :P
[21:10] <ThinkT510> !downgrade | tafelpoo1
[21:10] <LunarLander> hello
[21:10] <elgaton> tafelpoo1: Also, you should not be running such an old version on your system. Upgrade to 12.04 if possible.
[21:11] <BlueWolf> How can I fix this problem - Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this. (EE) NVIDIA Failed to load the NVIDIA Kernal module. Please check your (EE) NVIDIA:    system's kernel log for additional error messages. (EE) No drivers available.
[21:11] <marlinc> How well does Ubuntu 12.04 LTS run on 512 mb RAM? Desktop edition by the way
[21:11] <LunarLander> I got a question that is a bit more related to knoppix, is it OK to ask here or is there another linux channel?

[21:11] <LunarLander> can you point me to one?
[21:11] <LunarLander> ah thanks

[21:11] <itaws> is there any awesome themes for ubuntu because i am using default and i am bored of it ?

[21:12] <BlueWolf> Anyone?
[21:12] <pewpewpewpew> Can precise pangolin run on a galaxy tab?
[21:12] <Oasa> BlueWolf: It did not fix :S Did you try additional drivers?
[21:12] <tafelpoo1> elgaton: I have my reasons to use 10.04LTS. The downgrade will be done using debootstrap
[21:12] <elgaton> Simplew: File a bug report in Launchpad
[21:12] <MonkeyDust> !eyecandy| itaws
[21:12] <tafelpoo1> elgaton: any experience with that?
[21:12] <Simplew> [elgaton] already did

[21:13] <anonymous3141593> woah gimp 2.8.0 came out finally - http://www.gimp.org/
[21:13] <jagginess> hi, anyone using fglrx? (driconf tells me no dri device is detected, i installed this app with apt-get install driconf)
[21:13] <pewpewpewpew> Can precise pangolin run on a galaxy tab?
[21:13] <elgaton> tafelpoo1: No, unfortunately not. It's usually recommended to install from scratch in those cases, anyway.
[21:13] <Lunar_Lander> or maybe I can ask as this is a maybe general question and I am normally using ubuntu
[21:14] <rile_bre> 404 Not Found
[21:14] <elgaton> Lunar_Lander: Well, if it's general, go on :)
[21:14] <Lunar_Lander> when I just started the PC from the DVD and then opened iceweasel, netstat already showed that it was connecting to amazon, ebay and the NoScript developer's site
[21:14] <syddraf> Is there a way to check which applications are receiving keybind events? The volume controls on this computer appear to be decreasing the volume in the notify, but they aren't actually affecting PA or ALSA.
[21:14] <Lunar_Lander> and I don't know why
[21:14] <Lunar_Lander> as I said that happened immediatly when opening up the browser
[21:14] <BlueWolf> Oasa: Sadly no luck fixing it, an now I'm getting worried, lots of graphical work to do and I can't seem to fix it. I have not tried additional drivers, how would I go about this?
[21:15] <jagginess> Anyone using fglrx? my x log says libfglrxdrm.so cant be loaded
[21:15] <Oasa> BlueWolf System-> menu somewhere :S
[21:15] <Marlinc> How well does Ubuntu 12.04 LTS run on 512 mb RAM? Desktop edition by the way
[21:15] <Oasa> BlueWolf I forgot non-unity interface
[21:15] <BlueWolf> Oasa: Oh ya I have, No luck - what next?
[21:15] <Fyodorovna> Marlinc, 1 gig is suggested at the ram amount I would run lubuntu.
[21:16] <Oasa> BlueWolf: in System Settings
[21:16] <Jordan_U> !lubuntu | Marlinc
[21:16] <BlueWolf> Oasa: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[21:16] <Marlinc> Didn' t think about Lubuntu thanks
[21:16] <elgaton> Lunar_Lander: I think the NoScript developer's page opened because the Knoppix makers have installed NoScript as an addin (some browser components open their homepages at first run). As for Amazon and eBay, I think they have been set up as start pages in Knoppix (that didn't happen when I first launched Firefox on Ubuntu).
[21:16] <tafelpoo1> elgaton: debootstrap is a clean install.. so that is ok...
[21:16] <Oasa> BlueWolf: So you have installed prop driver from the additional driver?
[21:16] <tafelpoo1> but yeah
[21:16] <Marlinc> They got the same repositories so that won''
[21:16] <Marlinc> They got the same repositories so that won't give problems
[21:16] <Marlinc> Thanks
[21:16] <Lunar_Lander> ah elgaton
[21:17] <BlueWolf> Oasa: Yes Thats when I open up NVIDIA X Server Settings in system>Administrator this message comes up:

[21:17] <BlueWolf> Oasa: The one previous
[21:17] <elgaton> Lunar_Lander: yes?
[21:18] <BlueWolf> Oasa: What next?
[21:18] <Oasa> BlueWolf: Did you purge novieau?
[21:18] <Oasa> BLueWOlf it seem you are still using Noveau
[21:18] <Lunar_Lander> thanks for the info elgaton
[21:18] <Oasa> BlueWolf: Try sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[21:18] <elgaton> Lunar_Lander: You're welcome
[21:19] <Oasa> after that run sudo nvidia-xconfig

[21:21] <lkj> Is there anyway to upgrade javaHL on Ubuntu 12.04 ?
[21:21] <BlueWolf> Oasa: It does not have seemed to have done anything?
[21:22] <Oasa> is the removal over?
[21:22] <Oasa> BlueWolf: purge is over?

[21:23] <Oasa> BLueWolf: what is this man-db ? is it over ?
[21:23] <xaka> is it possible to pin packages by mask instead of specify each package one by one?

[21:24] <Oasa> so it doesnt matter

[21:25] <Oasa> BlueWolf: It seems you had two drivers at the same time.
[21:26] <ThinkT510> Oasa: when you use nvidia i think the nouveau driver just gets blacklisted/disabled rather than removed
[21:26] <jagginess> "<jagginess> Anyone using fglrx? my x log says libfglrxdrm.so cant be loaded"
[21:26] <jagginess> ?
[21:26] <BlueWolf> Oasa: Strange - Ok it's removing. From the System ?
[21:26] <Oasa> ThinkT510 Please help BlueWolf then
[21:26] <jagginess> :(
[21:26] <ThinkT510> Oasa: you don't need to purge it for the nvidia driver to work
[21:26] <Oasa> He is entering low graphics mode repeatedly
[21:27] <toastedpenguin> anyone know of a repo for ruby 1.9.2 for Lucid?
[21:28] <ThinkT510> Oasa: sorry, i've never had that problem so not sure how to help him
[21:29] <tyler_d> I just upgraded to 12.04 and I cannot get my openvpn to function to work either from the gui nor the terminal, I have verified that the correct packages are installed and need to know how to get it to go into "debug mode"
[21:29] <Oasa> ThinkT510: when he opens nvidia control panel it says no nvidia. SO i thought noveaux is still being used
[21:29] <ThinkT510> Oasa: sounds like he tried using the nvidia driver from the website rather than the repo
[21:30] <Oasa> ThinkT510: he used it from the repo only.
[21:30] <lkj> Is there a way to adjust the screen brightness from the desktop?
[21:30] <ThinkT510> Oasa: hmm, odd, i've never experienced any problems with the driver from the repo
[21:30] <lkj> LIke volume control
[21:31] <lkj> but for screen brightness?

[21:34] <ThinkT510> Lunar_Lander: i think he left too
[21:34] <Lunar_Lander> hm
[21:34] <Lunar_Lander> just restarted, and the thing happened again
[21:35] <ThinkT510> Lunar_Lander: what happened, i wasn't here for the first part
[21:35] <Lunar_Lander> I started iceweasel and it has connections to google, ebay, yahoo, amazon, noscript developer
[21:35] <Lunar_Lander> ah I got my knoppix DVD at the moment
[21:35] <Marlinc> What is the 'alternative' release? Next to desktop and server.
[21:35] <Lunar_Lander> and when I started iceweasel I looked at netstat out of interest
[21:36] <Lunar_Lander> and found that iceweasel talked to amazon, google, yahoo, ebay, the noscript site
[21:36] <ThinkT510> Lunar_Lander: oh right, that sounds like something you should ask knoppix about, something they set up for their default iceweasel install i suppose
[21:36] <Oasa> !alternative | Marlinc
[21:37] <ThinkT510> Lunar_Lander: we can only support ubuntu in here
[21:37] <Marlinc> Thats nice
[21:37] <Lunar_Lander> yea
[21:37] <Marlinc> Thank you again :)
[21:37] <Oasa> Marlinc: You are welcome
[21:37] <Lunar_Lander> ThinkT510, I tried #knoppix but there were only like 5 people there
[21:37] <Lunar_Lander> is there another channel?
[21:37] <Lunar_Lander> I already am at ##linux
[21:37] <ThinkT510> Lunar_Lander: not that i know of sorry
[21:37] <Lunar_Lander> ah
[21:38] <Lunar_Lander> ThinkT510, I think I'll try and put my 11.10 CD in to run live mode
[21:38] <Lunar_Lander> see what netstat says then
[21:38] <Lunar_Lander> cause I am waiting on the delivery of my 12.04 CD from canonical :)
[21:39] <ThinkT510> Lunar_Lander: cool, i can say i'm pleasantly suprised with unity, i hope you will be too
[21:39] <Lunar_Lander> well I used 11.10 before :)
[21:40] <Lunar_Lander> and unity was cool
[21:40] <Lunar_Lander> the sidebar idea and stuff
[21:40] <Oasa> has any one found out a way to move the side bar to bottom in precise?
[21:40] <trek201> using a usb wireless adapter...sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't. any ideas why?
[21:40] <ThinkT510> Oasa: that isn't supported, it will break things
[21:41] <ThinkT510> Oasa: i doubt they will allow relocation of the sidebar
[21:41] <Oasa> I still dont like the idea of making it fixed. Linux is all about freedom :|
[21:41] <borlax> ubuntu is the wrong distro then
[21:41] <ThinkT510> Oasa: xfce is still my favourite, it is awesome to be free to choose
[21:42] <Oasa> dont get me wrong. I love ubuntu <3 But i pay random visits to windows so that i can play my games :P
[21:42] <Marlinc> I wish the Steam for Linux client comes soon :D
[21:42] <Plouj> whoo!
[21:43] <Marlinc> I think that will be the first time I will really play a video game
[21:43] <Oasa> Marlinc : Me too.. The PlayonLinux or Wine are both buggy
[21:43] <Marlinc> Because there is no way for me to install Windows
[21:43] <Plouj> dpkg --configure linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic; dpkg --configure -a fixed my problems

[21:46] <Marlinc> Ubuntu Server
[21:46] <Oasa> Unetbootin Marlinc
[21:47] <mohd> Marlinc: use dd
[21:47] <Marlinc> Can I just dd the iso onto the USB?
[21:47] <mohd> check the iso md5 1st .
[21:47] <ThinkT510> Marlinc: 11.10+ can be dd'ed to a usb
[21:47] <Marlinc> And it would boot?
[21:47] <mohd> Marlinc: of course , thats the point :)
[21:48] <Marlinc> Thats pretty cool I'll try that
[21:48] <mohd> !md5sum | Marlinc
[21:48] <Fyodorovna> Marlinc, yes a dd would work
[21:48] <Oasa> What is DD ?
[21:48] <ThinkT510> Oasa: low level direct copy
[21:48] <Oasa> so that flags it as bootable ?
[21:49] <Oasa> bye guys.. zzz cya later

[21:52] <Marlinc> What is with those people hating Ubuntu and other stuff like that nofreeware guy
[21:52] <edgarosy> how do I fix my /etc/resolv.conf to get the right dns sever info from dhcp
[21:52] <ThinkT510> Marlinc: attention seekers with no good way of spending their time
[21:53] <Marlinc> Could be
[21:53] <deufrai> edgarosy: you need to cehck your /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[21:55] <edgarosy> deufral what changes do I need to make in that file so it gets the right ip from the right dns server?
[21:55] <soner> hello, some help with a hdd with password how do i cleant it up?
[21:55] <deufrai> edgarosy: and see if the 'request' section contains 'domain-name-servers'
[21:55] <soner> Im on parted magic now
[21:56] <edgarosy> it does have a section that contains that info but it does not specify an specific hostname nor Ip address
[21:57] <deufrai> edgarosy: then your DHCP server should provide it's configured DNS server(s) IP address(es)
[21:57] <edgarosy> ok
[21:57] <root> holaa
[21:57] <soner> who knows how to reset a password on a hhd?
[21:59] <edgarosy> have to figure that one out
[21:59] <edgarosy> thanks deufral for the help
[21:59] <deufrai> edgarosy: make sure your DHCP server has a configured DNS server. At least one
[22:00] <edgarosy> right on
[22:03] <Fyodorovna> soner,  a HD or a install?
[22:04] <DoctorPepper> hi guys !!!
[22:04] <OccupyDemonoid> Hello, is there a way to have music files in a common directory that is accessible to all users like how Windows Seven is with the public folders?
[22:05] <|Pasha> OccupyDemonoid: samba server will do that
[22:05] <Fyodorovna> soner, if you're using a partitioner you could just reformat it if there is nothing to save.
[22:05] <vsdk> hi, is anyone using "remind" command?
[22:06] <OccupyDemonoid> |Pasha, for files that are on the local hard drive?
[22:06] <Simkin> OccupyDemonoid: you can also use mediatomb
[22:06] <|Pasha> OccupyDemonoid: you can specify which directories or files that who want to share
[22:06] <DoctorPepper> need some help some help , since  i upgraded  to 12.04 my system is very  at booting  it takes around 4 to 5 minutes  to boot .  i use btrfs over lvm  as  root filesystem  and the same for my /home fs
[22:06] <Simkin> OccupyDemonoid: then you can stream the music to dlna capable devices (ps3 and tvs and such)
[22:07] <OccupyDemonoid> Ah, thank you for the tips Simkin and |Pasha. I will give them a try. :)
[22:07] <Simkin> DoctorPepper: btrfs is still experimental... just incase you didn't know
[22:07] <Igmu> I have a device driver question...
[22:08] <Igmu> I have finally got my laptop fingerprint reader to work in login using ubuntu 12.10
[22:08] <DoctorPepper> Simkin:  i know  , but  i have been using  it for nearly two years  and i didnt have any real issue.
[22:09] <Simkin> DoctorPepper: i've been using it for al ittle over two years now... i've had some strange problems
[22:09] <Simkin> but no data loss in the last year + (not since 2.6.38... i think?)
[22:09] <Igmu> I used several packages to no avail. How do I find which is the device using successfully?
[22:09] <zatan> hey is anyone of you having this that youtube videos auto resizing on full screen ?
[22:10] <DoctorPepper> Simkin:  the thing i cant understand right now my boot time tripled since i upgraded to 12.04
[22:10] <copacetic> I am trying to get dual boot working with ubuntu and windows.  I installed windows first, then ubuntu.  Grub doesn't load however.  I booted with the livecd and tried to run bootrepair, it give the following error "The boot of your PC is in EFI mode, but no EFI partition was detected. You may want to retry after creating a EFI partition"
[22:11] <copacetic> Can anyone help me figure this out?
[22:11] <pgib> arg.... I want to install the 12.04 update.  Ubuntu automatically asked me if I'd like to upgrade.  I didn't have enough free space. I freed it up and hit "Ok" and the dialog disappeared and now I cannot find the update anywhere - not even in software center (which, btw, sucks compared to the old aptitude program)
[22:12] <Fyodorovna> pgib, what release are you running right now?
[22:12] <pgib> 11.10
[22:13] <pgib> There used to be an Update Manager I thought, but it is gone now
[22:13] <jan__> ey opacetic, google have a lot answers for you ;)
[22:13] <Fyodorovna> pgib, try alt-f2 then insert update-manager -d
[22:14] <Simkin> DoctorPepper: that is distressing.
[22:14] <Simkin> DoctorPepper: i've only upgraded one machine to 12.04 so far... so far no problems
[22:14] <pgib> cool, that started the update-manager!  I guess ubuntu removed it from the menu system to encourage people to use the incomplete software center tool
[22:16] <vith> why does terminal not show up in the alt-tab list? i just had like 6 open and i couldn't switch by clicking the pinned launcher either.
[22:16] <Fyodorovna> pgib, in software sources is a tab that has a choice of upgrades take a look.

[22:28] <dzragon> is 120hz on a syncmaster 2233rz possible to attain in ubuntu 12.04? I've tried nvidia-settings both normal through programs-menu and through console as "sudo nvidia-settings". Sudo makes it accept to save to xorg.conf, but the change to 120hz just makes the screen blink, but stay on 60hz :S

[22:35] <metals> Hi
[22:35] <metals> is Suspend in Ubuntu the same as Stand By of Windows?
[22:36] <pi_> Good evening
[22:36] <dashie_> imbezol: thx
[22:36] <dale> During install, it downloads most of ubuntu from the Internet which is why you have to have networking setup to install it.   Do you know if it's easy to manually download all the packages to a local share somewhere and have the installer use those files instead of pulling everything off the Internet?
[22:38] <dzragon> Not possible to get 120hz in ubuntu? Does gnome and/or unity even use xorg.conf anylonger? What to edit? Why is there a nvidia-settings option to change refreshrate when it doesnt work? Have tried every single ubuntu from 8.04 and onwards and its the same. Heck, even RedHad have problems. Only distro that have shown max hz "out of the box" on any monitor ive ever used is Mandriva (mandrake)
[22:38] <OerHeks> dale, you don't need internet for install, and you can download pkgs and transfer them to an offline machine.
[22:38] <OerHeks> !offline | dale
[22:39] <dale> If I try to install something that isn't on a disc i have, it uses the internet
[22:39] <Guest77605> Is there a way to create a text file that lists all directories in a specific directory?
[22:39] <dale> I am trying to make it quicker to install/update machines only using the lan.
[22:40] <schultza> how do i install a key for a repository?
[22:40] <dale> So basically. What file would I edit to pull the files from local lan?
[22:40] <dzragon> and Mandriva only showed my monitors max hz on one single release they put out, then they suddenly changed something to make that not happen anymore.....geniality
[22:40] <Simkin> any of you guys know where i would set limits on how many 'forks' a user/process can create?
[22:41] <dale> !APTonCD
[22:41] <Guest77605> Could anybody help me I have a question
[22:41] <Simkin> i have this weird problem with a php script, where it errors out after about 3 to 6 days complaining it can't create a fork to run xec.
[22:41] <Simkin> i can make the scirpt auto close and start every day.. but that seems like a cheap solution

[22:41] <MarcN> Anyone using a DisplayLink USB video card for a 3rd monitor? I've edited xorg.conf and restarted X, but the displaylink monitor just displays green.  Using an nvidia card for the first 2 monitors.
[22:41] <pgib> Fyodorovna, sure, there is an "Upgrades" tab, but it just lets you set the auto-update rules. It doesn't actually allow one to manually check for upgrade (at least not that I see)
[22:41] <Simkin> and wont' help if the volume of traffic increases

[22:42] <phaidros> hi, anyone has this strange problem as well? : sometimes (not always) when switching between user profiles in 12.04 system goes to sleep instead of switich user ..
[22:42] <phaidros> any hints?
[22:42] <phaidros> (apport seems not able to collect data on that bug)
[22:43] <Fyodorovna> pgib, correct it sounds like in general something went amiss if you had it set correctly. Could be a user error in here I suspect in understanding how this works, just a guess though. :)
[22:43] <Scroggins10> Is anybody here not busy?
[22:44] <pgib> Fyodorovna, possibly so since everything moves each time a new release it put out
[22:44] <pgib> Scroggins10, just ask
[22:44] <mohamedtouj> how can i make my ubuntu faster ???
[22:45] <Fyodorovna> Scroggins10, the channel goes as ask your question and you will find out. :)
[22:45] <MarcN> mohamedtouj, add more memory!
[22:45] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: add better cpu
[22:45] <mohamedtouj> on software
[22:45] <Scroggins10> Is it possible to create a text file that lists all directories in a specific directory?
[22:45] <pgib> mohamedtouj, methamphetamine
[22:45] <jackjackw> mohamedtouj, use a lightweight windows manager instead of gnome
[22:45] <phaidros> Scroggins10: ls -alR /path/ > /path/to/file.txt
[22:45] <jackjackw> something like fluxbox or enlightenment uses virtually no resources
[22:45] <Scroggins10> Thank you
[22:45] <mohamedtouj> how ?
[22:46] <jackjackw> google is your friend
[22:46] <pgib> mohamedtouj, also, you may not want to use OpenGL acceleration based on your video card, and perhaps you don't have much ram and the system is paging to death - it really just depends
[22:46] <Scroggins10> So is Xchat
[22:46] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: apt-get install xfce for example
[22:46] <pgib> fluxbox ;)
[22:46] <mohamedtouj> i use Lubuntu
[22:46] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: look for window managers in your package installer
[22:46] <jackjackw> pgib; you know this
[22:46] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: if you use lubuntu, you should run lxde already, which is *pretty lightweight
[22:46] <pgib> mohamedtouj, not. You will need to switch the window manager you use from the desktop manager (the login screen)
[22:47] <pgib> s/not/note/
[22:47] <jackjackw> snot
[22:47] <phaidros> jackjackw: stop trolling ;)
[22:47] <mohamedtouj> i don't like any graphics just i like performance
[22:47] <jackjackw> then definately take a look at fluxbox
[22:47] <pgib> mohamedtouj, you may just want to try logging out, and then maybe try "Gnome 2D" as well..
[22:47] <wawowe> mohamedtouj: evilwm :)
[22:47] <pgib> or "Ubuntu 2d"
[22:47] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: you wanna look for "tiling window manager" there are some or fluxbox|openbox|bluebox
[22:48] <arand> Scroggins10: If you specifically want just the directories, it would be "find dir/ -type d"
[22:48] <jackjackw> which is best for ubuntu phaidros; im currently using fluxbox + aterm
[22:48] <jackjackw> all made to look pretty
[22:48] <phaidros> Scroggins10: and only files with "find path/ -type f"
[22:48] <pgib> Scroggins10, more specifically: find path -type d > listing.txt
[22:48] <Celltech> uname -r shows me on 3.2.0-24... Can I 'remove' -23 safely
[22:49] <phaidros> jackjackw: if you dont mind a steap learning curve, try awesome or one of the other tiling window managers, pretty fast, pretty keyboard friendly
[22:49] <wawowe> Celltech: yes
[22:49] <Celltech> Awesome. Thank you
[22:49] <phaidros> jackjackw: if you ask between *box .. I think they are all the same more or less
[22:49] <jackjackw> awesome you say? are we talking c++ learning curve or python learning curve here? :o
[22:49] <wawowe> lxde is using openbox
[22:50] <dashavoo> I don't really know what I am expecting... miracle maybe... but here I go:
[22:50] <phaidros> Celltech: try purge instead of remove .. :)
[22:50] <Celltech> I'm going through synaptic
[22:50] <phaidros> jackjackw: hm, either was it haskell or lua
[22:50] <dashavoo> all of my important files have vanished... I doubt anyone can tell me how to recover them, but can anyone at least give me an idea of how?
[22:50] <mohamedtouj> how can i see my graphic card nvidia installed o not ?
[22:50] <Celltech> Is there a better way to do it?
[22:50] <EM3RY> I've been doing PXE install's and my network settings done come out like they should for a desktop, could someone pastebin me a /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf from a default 12 install?
[22:50] <phaidros> jackjackw: as one of those was used to uses & configure the one (cant remember which used which, there are quite a handful)
[22:51] <wawowe> dashavoo: how did they vanish?
[22:51] <dashavoo> my entire music collection (most of which I still have the physical media for somewhere), my entire photo collection (no backups, lots of memories)
[22:51] <MarcN> dashavoo, so what did you do that may have lost all your files? Where they all under /home/?
[22:51] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: to test for 3d performace try "glxinfo | grep direct" if that says yes the driver is running
[22:51] <jackjackw> =D
[22:51] <pgib> dashavoo, where were they located?
[22:51] <dashavoo> wawowe: I'mnot sure how they vanished. They were under /home, on a separate partition to my OS
[22:52] <mneptok> dashavoo: is that partition actually mounted?
[22:52] <pgib> dashavoo, ahha.. perhaps your home partition isn't being mounted.
[22:52] <wawowe> dashavoo: is the partition mounted?
[22:52] <phaidros> dashavoo: check "mount" to see if the partition is mounted
[22:52] <phaidros> lol
[22:52] <pgib> dashavoo, check "mount" output in the consol
[22:52] <rootnoobtux> i just installed Apache and MySQL i'm new to ubuntu, my question is how can i get Apache and MySQL icon to control `em like in windows? in windows i can see the Apache running and MySQL in the lower left of the screen aligned in the clock how about in ubuntu?
[22:52] <dashavoo> mneptok: I have unmounted it since it happened. Not every file is gone, but a lot of them
[22:52] <wumfi> sorry been AFK - did anyone respond to my sound question?
[22:52] <dashavoo> some of the files that vanished were dot files, it was when firefox started with a new profile that I noticed something was amiss
[22:52] <phaidros> rootnoobtux: open terminal, cd /etc/apache, sudo -s :)
[22:53] <pgib> dashavoo: mkdir ~/oldhome; sudo mount /dev/oldhomedevice ~you/oldhome
[22:53] <mneptok> dashavoo: an fsck may be in order.
[22:53] <mohamedtouj> my nvidia card not installed i install it i get 800*600 just this choice in resolution
[22:53] <dashavoo> there doesn't seem to be a pattern to what vanished and what didn't
[22:53] <rootnoobtux> phaedra,  no not in terminal :(
[22:54] <phaidros> dashavoo: using SSD hard drive?
[22:54] <dashavoo> phaidros: no, spinny one
[22:54] <pgib> mohamedtouj, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[22:54] <mohamedtouj> direct rendering: Yes  this mean my card installed ?
[22:54] <phaidros> mohamedtouj: yes
[22:54] <pgib> phaidros, well it means *a* card with DRI is installed
[22:54] <phaidros> pgib: you are right
[22:54] <dashavoo> I tried running extundelete, it recovered a couple of things but mostly complained about things that weren't files
[22:55] <phaidros> dashavoo: so  the files got deleted before .. this means you are more or less doomed
[22:55] <mikubuntu> ok, im going crazy.  i don't understand HOW you can have NO system tray?    WHAT is this dark sorcery?
[22:55] <mohamedtouj> but :'( counter strike dosen't work under WINE :'( also PLAYONLINUX please solution
[22:55] <phaidros> mikubuntu: which ubuntu version?
[22:56] <pgib> mikubuntu, is that you from LMMS land? this is Paul G
[22:56] <mikubuntu> 12.04 phaidros
[22:56] <dashavoo> phaidros: before what? I'm not sure what you meant
[22:56] <wylde> mohamedtouj: #winehq
[22:56] <phaidros> dashavoo: if extundelete finds things it means they got deleted by something like an "rm -rf" command
[22:56] <mikubuntu> pgib i know not of LMMS
[22:57] <pgib> ok. just wondering - we used to have a really enthusiastic user with the same username
[22:57] <metals> is Suspend the Windows Stand By mode in Ubuntu?
[22:57] <dashavoo> phaidros: that is what I assumed, judging by the things that it picked up
[22:57] <phaidros> dashavoo: sorry to say, but extundelete seems your last hope.
[22:57] <schultza> how do i install a key for a repository
[22:57] <Fyodorovna> mikubuntu, if you want help here your language tone and content is going to have some not respond, just a heads up. ")
[22:57] <redfox_> hello
[22:58] <dashavoo> :( I thought as much... any idea how it could have happened?
[22:58] <pgib> dashavoo, assuming, of course, you really do, honest to God, have the partition in question mounted where you think it is mounted
[22:58] <phaidros> dashavoo: or, dont touch disk at all again and go to a professional rscue service and pray they do know about extX fs and dont charge more than twice your bank account :/
[22:58] <arand> metals: suspend usually means saving the computer state in RAM, and consuming minimal amounts of power, I have no ide about the windows terminology.
[22:58] <dashavoo> phaidros: my bank balance is negative, so that option is out
[22:58] <schultza> nevermind
[22:58] <pgib> Tech: "Dur.. I know what is wrong with the HDD. It doesn't have NTFS on it! I fixed it and did a full format. Don't worry!"
  :)  I'm just freaking out because i have no systray and i don't know where whole continents of windows disappear to when they minimize.
[23:00] <arand> pgib: Though normally suspend and hibernate are used to distingush them.
[23:00] <phaidros> mikubuntu: which desktop environment? unity? gnome? lxde?
[23:00] <ki4ro> mikubuntu: Just hit alt-tab
[23:00] <phaidros> anyone seen this: when swithcung users in unity sometimes system just goes to sleep
[23:01] <pgib> mikubuntu, the Unity interface minimizes windows to the left icon bar I believe.  But I don't use Unity because I find it awful (although the new HUD is nice)
[23:01] <mikubuntu> phaidros i have all on my laptop, but lxde (lubuntu?) seems not to work since update
[23:01] <spaceneedle> The user theme extension is working following installation thru the webupd8.com site. Doesn't work if you install thru the gnome extensions site.
[23:01] <Fyodorovna> mikubuntu, right and people that freak out and act accusatory and also swear narow down the help, just saying, frankly I don't dare what you do I was just thinking it might help to know this info.
[23:01] <tarwich> Sorry to interrupt — I'm installing Ubuntu and the partition sizer doesn't state which side is for Ubuntu. Anyone familiar with this?
[23:01] <jackjackw> phaidros - got any good info about getting started in awesome
[23:01] <jackjackw> like any resources you can share? or do you not use it
[23:01] <Scroggins10> What would be the best web browser for ubuntu? Is firefox the best?
[23:01] <pgib> tarwich, are there any labels on the partitions "rectangles" ?

[23:02] <ki4ro> Scroggins10: I prefer chrome
[23:02] <tarwich> However… The min is different for each.
[23:02] <pgib> tarwich, tried clicking on one?
[23:02] <phaidros> jackjackw: I used to use it, imho the arch linux guys have some awesome docs about awesome .. rofl
[23:02] <rootnoobtux> phaedra,  no not in terminal :(
[23:02] <f0urtyfive> hello
[23:02] <mikubuntu> ki4ro: nope, nothing happens for me with alt tab
[23:02] <f0urtyfive> Does anyone know how I could stripe 5 block devices into a new virtual device without writing to them? :D
[23:02] <Scroggins10> Yeah I prefer chrome as well, some people have told me it's garbage... has anyone tried opera? I hear it's the best
[23:03] <jackjackw> lmao, cheers phaidros
[23:03] <ki4ro> mikubuntu: How about pushing the mouse all the way to the left hard
[23:03] <phaidros> rootnoobtux: cant help you there, as I never ever felt like needing icons for apache / mysql in linux. honestly
[23:03] <mikubuntu> ki4ro: nope, nada
[23:04] <ki4ro> mikubuntu: Hmmm...sorry to say that's the limit of my ideas
[23:04] <phaidros> f0urtyfive: hmmm, mdadm docs might help. read carefully
[23:04] <Lazure> i need help. switch user got me stuck at the lightdm logon screen in 12.04, and it just sits there saying 'logging in...' forever.
[23:04] <Lazure> the session is already running and i can't get back into it to save anything to do anything with my open windows
[23:04] <Guest61618> hi i installed ubuntu as a dual boot i recieved a error and not it freezes any ideas ?
[23:04] <Lazure> because i'm stuck at the logon area.
[23:05] <rootnoobtux> ah ok...and phaedra  just wanna ask somethin then how do i know what i've input on mysql and apache!? coz i forgot all of those infos i've input while installing it thanx
[23:05] <phaidros> mikubuntu: without telling what desktop environment you have actually running people here can only wild guess on their glass sphere ;)
[23:05] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: I've tried a few times with mdadm, it seems theres no way to create anything w/o writing a superblock
[23:05] <Lazure> the only keyboard input it responds to is up and down to change between user, the only mouse input it responds to is the 'shutdown' button on the upper right (whicha ctually fails to shut down, too)
[23:05] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: I think the only think you could do would be write your own block device driver :(
[23:05] <Lazure> i literally can only hard shut off the system, i can't seem to get back to my running user session or anything.
[23:05] <Datz> hi, I'm using gnome-session-fallback. The workspace switcher has a few difficulties. 1. It's only showing the first workspace. 2. The workspaces are stuck in a square fashion which I don't want. Any ideas?
[23:06] <phaidros> f0urtyfive: hm, maybe loop devices might help .. I used to do some crazy things with them, but would have to read all the docs again
[23:06] <Lazure> i know those apps are running still because i went into a terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 and looked at the processes. seems lightdm is broken in 12.04 and it screws up on switch user now
[23:06] <spaceneedle> Lazure:switch to the 32-bit version of Ubuntu.
[23:06] <schultza> how do i install gnome 3?
[23:06] <mikubuntu> phaidros, at least they have a glass sphere -- i have nothing ... lol ... i'm running gnome3 desktop on pangolin for the last couple hours
[23:06] <Lazure> i'm using 32-bit version, tho i have 4gb of RAM, i actually was going to install 64-bit because of that.
[23:07] <phaidros> Lazure: nope. you always can get to a console with CTRL-ALT-F1 , there you can login and "sudo reboot" at least not hard rebooting
[23:07] <Lazure> i have gnome-shell installed as a DE
[23:07] <Fyodorovna> !reisub
[23:07] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: as far as I can tell all you can do with loop dev is offset, which I'm using
[23:07] <Fyodorovna> Datz, ^^^^
[23:07] <phaidros> mikubuntu: gnome3 is not ubuntu standard, thats why all the hints dindt work
[23:07] <phaidros> mikubuntu: try #gnome
[23:07] <mnogueira> hi
[23:07] <mnogueira> hello
[23:08] <f0urtyfive> phaidros: !!!! http://code.google.com/p/pyraid/wiki/HOWTO
[23:08] <Guest61618> hi i installed ubuntu as a dual boot i recieved a error and now it freezes when i have more than one programme open also tried to find away to del other os any ideas ?
[23:08] <schultza> be back
[23:08] <Lazure> is there any way to reset just lightdm without killing the user's session?
[23:08] <mnogueira> hello
[23:09] <mikubuntu> phaidros, do you know any reason why lubuntu desktop will not work right in 12.04?  when i try to run it as desktop i just get the blue screen of death
[23:09] <Fyodorovna> Lazure, check the bots info on REISUB.    sorry Datz
[23:09] <Datz> ok :)
[23:09] <Datz> I was wondering how that might help me :p
[23:09] <mnogueira> Is there a way to talk (i mean, by voice)?
[23:09] <wawowe> Lazure: /etc/init.d/lightdm restart
[23:09] <wawowe> something like that anyway
[23:09] <wawowe> oh
[23:09] <Lazure> wawowe > hmm, wonder if i can get a terminal to popup
[23:09] <Lazure> in lightdm lol
[23:10] <wawowe> without killing the users session
[23:10] <mikubuntu> phaidros this is the page i was trying to follow to get systray, but it din't work either    http://www.micahcarrick.com/3-taskbars-for-gnome-3.html
[23:10] <ratcheer> mnogueira, Hello. What can we do for you?
[23:11] <Guest61618> is there a way to install ubuntu as a fresh os on a laptop that does not load from usb ?
[23:11] <mnogueira> Guys, I need some help at the following: I just downloaded Fedora 16 DVD, and when i try to install it starts Anaconda with a big resolution (part of the image out of the screen) so I cant proceed
[23:11] <wawowe> Lazure: why would you want a terminal to popup in lightwm :P
[23:11] <IdleOne> mnogueira: try #fedora
[23:11] <mnogueira> Is there a way to start anaconda with 1024x768?
[23:12] <dimitri> hy, i installed a new release of ubuntu 12.04 near the last 11.04
[23:12] <Lazure> wawowe > so i could execute commands like that =p
[23:12] <dimitri> after restart i have a problem
[23:12] <Lazure> but oh well, i did the REISUB thing and rebooted. have to start over on something i had open ><
[23:12] <OerHeks> Guest61618, burn an iso on cd
[23:12] <dimitri> error: no such device
[23:12] <Lazure> i guess i can no longer trust 'switch user'
[23:12] <dimitri> grub rescue
[23:12] <Lazure> it was working perfectly until recently.
[23:12] <Fyodorovna> dimitri, do you have more then one HD?
[23:12] <Guest61618> i also dont have  a cd drive OerHeks
[23:12] <mnogueira> sorry, may i try another channel?
[23:13] <dimitri> Fyodorovna, yes
[23:13] <dimitri> i have 3 hd
[23:13] <ratcheer> mnogueira, Yes, please join #fedora
[23:13] <Fyodorovna> dimitri, It may be that the grub bootloader was put in the other HD try booting it first.
[23:13] <mnogueira> Thanks ratcheer
[23:14] <dimitri> Fyodorovna, give me the way. i don't know how try it
[23:14] <Guest61618> OerHeks so no Cd drive and wont read usb as an iso/pendrive on start up is there another option /
[23:14] <ubuntu> hello guys, what is a bad sector on hard drive ? I have around 16000, is it fixable ? I am on live usb right now
[23:15] <dimitri> i have grub rescue > prompt
[23:15] <tehnef> ubuntu: bad sectors are not fixable, no. you should do everything you can to back up your most important files and then replace the drive.
[23:15] <Fyodorovna> dimitri, in  the bios you can choose the hd you want booted first.
[23:16] <OerHeks> Guest61618 if it won't boot from usb, i don't know, sorry.
[23:16] <ubuntu> tehnef: thank you very much for precise answer !
[23:16] <dimitri> but before the installation all is right
[23:16] <ubuntu> I cant boot anything off it haha
[23:16] <Guest61618> thanks anyway OerHeks
[23:16] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, are you awafre of the out of the bios boot from menu?
[23:16] <Guest61618> looks like im stuck with xp :(
[23:16] <Fyodorovna> s/awafre/aware
[23:16] <Zopiac_> Has anyone gotten a webcam application to focus webcams? I've been trying to get this to work for a long time with no success
[23:16] <Guest61618> sorry Fyodorovna?
[23:17] <Resistance> Guest61618: <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, are you aware of the out of the bios boot from menu?
[23:17] <Resistance> Guest61618: your system might not automatically check USB removable media before the hard drive
[23:17] <Resistance> you may need to tell it to boot from the USB device
[23:17] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, hehe with that answer I assume you do not know. at powering on try f12 and look at the bios as it goes by and it may tell you the key prompts for this menu.
[23:18] <tehnef> ubuntu: that's not surprising. you may not be able to mount the volumes on it, but it's worth a try to get your data. if you don't care about the data (e.g. have a backup), it's probably not worth wasting time troubleshooting.
[23:18] <Guest61618> Fyodorovna i have went into bios chose fdd and cd-rom as first boot priority and nothing happens it boots straight to xp lol
[23:18] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618,  f12 may bring up that menu
[23:18] <uqx> Anyone else having freeze/lockup problems when playing nexuiz with an NVidia on 12.04?
[23:18] <mikubuntu> ok, i guess i figured out where things hide on minimize
[23:19] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, common problem that is whay I am telling you this it is another method used.
[23:19] <mbucko> does anyone know any good guide on how to set up partitions so that you can share installed programs and home with different distros?
[23:19] <Guest61618> its a complicated computer its a laptop/tablet so different to a 'normal' laptop when f12 is pressed it does nothing have to hit esc then f1 to get bios
[23:19] <uqx> do I need to file a bug on launchpad for this problem?
[23:19] <Fyodorovna> s/whay/why
[23:19] <mikubuntu> why are screensavers disabled in 12.04?
[23:19] <en1gma> i have 11.04 desktop installed (just did it from cd) it wants to dist-upgrade to 11.10 before doing 12.04. is there anyway to tell it to go straight to 12.04
[23:20] <uqx> en1gma, update-manager -d
[23:20] <en1gma> from a terminal?
[23:20] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, if you realy want to use ubuntu look on line for the boot from menu on that computer model or manufacturer computers
[23:20] <Guest61618> its a complicated computer its a laptop/tablet so different to a 'normal' laptop when f12 is pressed it does nothing have to hit esc then f1 to get bios << Fyodorovna
[23:20] <Jordan_U> en1gma: uqx: No. You can't skip releases during upgrades except from one LTS to the next.
[23:21] <phaidros> mikubuntu: cant help you there as I neither use lxde nor gnome3
[23:21] <newby> i try to write to /etc/apt/sources.list with a /bin/sh script via /etc/apt/sources <<EOF   blah blubb EOF as root. Why do i get permissions denied?
[23:21] <phaidros> newby: as root or via sudo?
[23:21] <newby> both
[23:21] <en1gma> that sucks
[23:21] <ubuntu> tehnef ok dude, thanks again xD its my friend's laptop, I have installed ubuntu on it 1 day before and 2 days later windows crashed and drive got corrupted, he thinks ubuntu dual boot screwed it (his newbie with linux) linux usb boot said it was fixing partition that windows crashed damaged it, its a hardware failure I Am pretty sure it?
[23:21] <phaidros> en1gma: do-release-upgrade
[23:21] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, also just so you know this has nothing to do with the bios other then it may tell you the actual keys to hit to get to the menu outside of the bios
[23:21] <tehnef> ubuntu: bad sectors? definitely a hardware failure.
[23:22] <en1gma> from a terminal?
[23:22] <ichat> can anyone hel me getting 12.04 boot into grafics mode...  the fact that it no longer ships with  proper nvidia drivers makes ubuntu extreamly worthless to get install... difficult tricky and very unsatisfying :(  and basically im out of ideas
[23:22] <ubuntu> tehnef yep he was trying to give me bt :D
[23:22] <Guest61618> ok Fyodorovna thanks for ya help :)
[23:22] <phaidros> en1gma: yes
[23:22] <phaidros> en1gma: sudo do-release-upgrade maybe
[23:22] <mikubuntu> phaidros, thx ... just can't understand why they would disable screensavers which i guess protect the screen
[23:22] <newby> phaidros: i tried to invoke the script as root aswell as with sodo. whoami told me it runs under root account. still getting permissions denied??
[23:22] <Guest61618> am thinking im gettin a HDD caddy so can put bigger hdd in that an load to that instead :)
[23:22] <aardmark> hello all - I'm trying to install the latest gimp (2.8) using apt-get, however the latest version it gets is 2.6. Is there a way to use apt to install the latest 'n greatest?
[23:23] <Fyodorovna> Guest61618, no problem, it can seem confusing if your not aware of this other menu. :)
[23:23] <en1gma> looks like its gonna do oneric still
[23:23] <phaidros> mikubuntu: I dont understand what your problem exactly is, nor what you are referring to, tho I dont use the software you have problems with neither, sry dude :)
[23:23] <schultza> hwo do you unlock the fallback gnome classic?
[23:23] <schultza> er.. the menus...
[23:23] <Lazure> aardmark > i had that problem too, i just had to add a ppa to get it
[23:23] <Lazure> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/05/gimp-2-8-released/
[23:24] <Lazure> bottom of that page tells ya what to do
[23:24] <Lazure> not sure when/if it ends up on the official ubuntu repos =S
[23:24] <aardmark> Lazure > thanks so much! will check it out
[23:24] <phaidros> Lazure: days to months .. depends :)
[23:24] <Lazure> it worked for me tho
[23:24] <mikubuntu> not important, really ... no major problems to worry about today so i'm happy
[23:24] <arand> aardmark: gimp 2.8 is not in Ubuntu yet, nor will it be untill the next release, a PPA would be the option.
[23:24] <mikubuntu> later gaters
[23:24] <aardmark> phaidros / lazure / arand > great. I appreciate it!
[23:25] <phaidros> :)
[23:25] <phaidros> hm, I really like the ubuntu terminal font, smileys look great :D
[23:26] <nwp_> I upgraded from oneiric to precise and now my e1000 card does not work with 3.2 kernel. Any pointers on how to fix?
[23:26] <anonymous3141593> ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
[23:26] <newby> phaidros: I really dont understand why i get perms denied can you look at it? here it it http://pastebin.com/hZPkhrnB
[23:27] <phaidros> newby: please ask in #bash for that
[23:27] <arand> Urgh, not even supplying a link to the PPA information page, same old abandon as always...
[23:27] <arand> (In reference to omgubuntu)
[23:28] <phaidros> newby: you might want to use cat
[23:28] <Praxi> Where is a good place to ask about rails ide's on ubuntu.  Specifically, I want a notepad++ style thing that looks like this http://imagebin.org/210869 but without all the bloat.  ie tabbed editor, file explorer thing on the left, console/terminal on the bottom.  syntax? highlighting for the editor.  I tried Jedit, but its file explorer was hideous
[23:29] <aardmark> Praxi > I recommend exploring komodo
[23:29] <phaidros> newby: in line 7 try "cat /etc/apt/sources.list <<EOF"
[23:29] <aardmark> praxi > it doesn't have a console (as far as I know), but it's pretty fancy with capabilities
[23:30] <Praxi> mainly I just want something fast with a nice file explorer, been using eclipse with a aptana plugin, but it feels slow and kludgy
[23:30] <phaidros> newby: otherwise bash tries to run /etc/apt/sources.list as command, which of course has no executable flag, hence permission denied
[23:31] <aardmark> praxi > Komodo has a great feel (imo) and it's fast too. take a look see
[23:31] <Praxi> will do, thank you aardmark
[23:31] <phaidros> Praxi: you might want to ask in #rails
[23:31] <tarwich> Anyone ever seen Ubuntu not specify what space is being used for? http://cl.ly/3a2p222j0p0s2z0O1O0c

[23:32] <systematical> Hello. I am having problems installing php5-dev on ubuntu 11.10 because it relies on libssl-dev which cant be installed because of this error: libssl-dev : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (= 1.0.0e-2ubuntu4.5) but 1.0.0e-2.1 is to be installed
[23:32] <phaidros> aardmark: tried the included one?

[23:34] <juanchi> hi guys, Im running oneiric here... after changing my Gnome-shell to E17.. gtk 3, clutter apps have no integration... even if I set the path to the gtk3 theme, It will no get loaded, what can Ido?
[23:34] <tarwich> Well this is the installer that came with the Ubuntu distro… And it doesn't say what the slider is changing.
[23:34] <tarwich> phaidros:  The disks should have labels or something
[23:35] <phaidros> tarwich: oha, thats bitchy indeed :)
[23:35] <phaidros> tarwich: probably the OSX skin with minimal information detail :D
