[00:00] <needhelp1> i have 4gb of memory and less than 1mb of memory available. nothing running other than pidgin
[00:00] <Mahjonk> hi people
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: can you you give the output of:  free -m    use http://pastie.org  to host
[00:01] <needhelp1> ActionParsnip: sure one second please
[00:01] <TiZ> Hi. My tv has some issues with overscan and not being able to turn it off no matter what I do, but I noticed that this problem only appears in 1280x720 resolution. In 1024x768, it doesn't occur, but it's 4:3 and I'm not using the full area of my TV. I discovered that using xrandr's --scale option, I could create a virtual 1366x768 option, which is perfect... except that when I use it, I get crazy vertical tearing. Like, this horizontal line o
[00:01] <TiZ> f desynchronization that goes from the bottom of the screen to the top. What can I do to fix this?
[00:02] <needhelp1> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1182594/
[00:03] <ex0a> needhelp1: linux borrows ram for disk caching so that it makes much better use of the unused portions of ram
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: ou have plenty of ram left
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: you are using 800Mb
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> !atemyram | needhelp1 may explain things :)
[00:04] <needhelp1> ActionParsnip: i must not be reading the results right, im seeing free: 140
[00:05] <needhelp1> oh i see
[00:05] <needhelp1> disk caching
[00:05] <Mahjonk> i need help with something
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: yep, not reading it right :)
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: linux uses ram as disk cache
[00:05] <Mahjonk> does update-rc.d ssh defaults will put ssh launching at startup ?
[00:06] <needhelp1> ActionParsnip: are you looking a the buffers section from my pastebin for how much memory i am actually using?
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: unused ram is wated ram, as your apps need ram, the cache is reduced
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: the link ubottu gave explains everything
[00:06] <needhelp1> got it, thanks so much
[00:06] <needhelp1> thanks also ex0a
[00:07] <lauratika> i have dual ubuntu/windows 7 pc... the pc is brand new and i want to have a ubuntu partition for OS and other for applications along with windows. is this possible
[00:07] <ex0a> no problem needhelp1 - i asked that same question a long time ago :]
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: why would you want RAM doing nothing is the next question, its a waste :)
[00:07] <usr13> lauratika: What?
[00:08] <needhelp1> ActionParsnip: yeah when you read that link you gave, it makes a lot of sense
[00:09] <usr13> lauratika: Can you re-phrase your question?
[00:10] <lauratika> yes
[00:11] <lauratika> i have ubuntu and windows installed and before in an old computer i had ubuntu in one partition and all aplications/software in another can i do this with dual boot?
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> lauratika: you can use windows7 to resize it's own partition, then install ubuntu to the free space to make a dual boot
[00:12] <needhelp1> lauratika: are you wanting to save all of your files and stuff in it's own separate partition?
[00:13] <lauratika> but what i mean is thatb i already install ubuntu on 16gb and want to use the free space 450gb (ntfs) to store ubuntu programs
[00:13] <usr13> lauratika: Ok.  You can have partition "/" for system files, and another "/home" for user files, but the Windows partition(s) are not part of the Ubuntu / Linux  discussion.
[00:14] <usr13> lauratika: Use the 450G space for /home
[00:14] <lauratika> well can i use the free space ntfs as /home??
[00:14] <bethebunny> I'm having trouble booting the 12.10 nightly install cd (and booting an established 10.04 with the same problem), and I think the likely source of the problem is the current nVidia drivers. Is anyone else having similar issues? Is this the appropriate channel?
[00:14] <usr13> lauratika: no
[00:14] <lauratika> no?
[00:14] <lauratika> so what should i do??
[00:14] <xangua> !12.10 | bethebunny
[00:14] <usr13> lauratika: Your /home partition needs to be a Linux partition.
[00:15] <lauratika> ok
[00:15] <root_719> those blueray drives work on linux?
[00:15] <usr13> lauratika: The advantages to Linux partitions are significant and you would not want to try and do without them.
[00:16] <KM0201> !bluray | Erealz
[00:16] <lauratika> so now i should resize the 450gb and then create a ext4 for /home
[00:16] <lauratika> but gparted only aloud 4 main partitions
[00:17] <usr13> lauratika: Yes, you can do that.  Use as much of it as you think is necessary.
[00:17] <lauratika> 1 boot loader 2 windows 3 freespace 4 ubuntu
[00:17] <Frostbyte> Um, can anyone tell me how to get haguichi running on a live key with persistence? seems to be missing a few packages, and I'd like to avoid the dist-upgrade :/
[00:17] <usr13> lauratika: What you may find in the future, (as most of us do), is that you'll end up using Ubuntu mostly.
[00:18] <lauratika> yeah but i have also oem partition
[00:18] <usr13> lauratika: Sorry, I don't know what an OEM partition is.
[00:18] <lauratika> usr13... def i was using only ubuntu on the old pc
[00:19] <lauratika> is the restore software that uses
[00:19] <usr13> o
[00:19] <lauratika> the pc in case there is troubles
[00:19] <usr13> ok
[00:19] <lauratika> so that adds 4 partitions and can add one more, i would love to have only ubuntu but warranty wont apply if OS it's changed
[00:20] <blackshirt> lauratika, what you mean?
[00:20] <lauratika> now my question is how can i move /home to the new partition
[00:20] <blackshirt> You can have multiples partitions
[00:20] <Cyberspaceloa> lauratika, are you sure that dual booting doesn't void the warranty?
[00:20] <lauratika> gparted only aloud 4 partitions
[00:20] <TheMiner> Have never heard of an operating system voiding a hardware warranty
[00:21] <usr13> lauratika: Here is some information you will find helpful:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[00:21] <blackshirt> Limiting only to 4 partitions was suck
[00:21] <OerHeks> 4 primairy partitions, make one extended.
[00:21] <lauratika> OerHeks how?
[00:21] <usr13> Cyberspaceloa: A little late for that, isnt' it?
[00:21] <lauratika> Cyberspaceloa: can always bring it back to windows only
[00:22] <znudee> hello, i've got a problem, on this laptop i'm running ubuntu and the install went without a problem. But I've tried to install it on my stationary computer with windows 7 (as this laptop also has) yet there it locks at the install screen when I try and I've also tried the alternative install cd but that didn't work either.. any help what can be wrong?
[00:22] <lauratika> but there is now windows 7 cd or dvd with the pc...
[00:23] <TheMiner> znudnee are you trying to run the installer from within Windows or are you booting from the disc?
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> znudee: what video chip do you use?
[00:23] <znudee> i've tried both actually, booting from disc with the normal installation and the alternative
[00:23] <znudee> i'm using an nvidia gtx 590
[00:24] <TheMiner> did you verify the md5 of the disc?
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> znudee: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[00:24] <znudee> yeah, i've used the same disc on this laptop and it worked without any problem
[00:24] <znudee> okay thx! :) i'll try that
[00:24] <lauratika> TheMiner: in this case yes
[00:25] <needhelp1> just to confirm the youtube lense/scope is not offered in the USC is that correct?
[00:25] <TheMiner> Who is the manufacturer? I would love to go and see that warranty
[00:26] <lauratika> lenovo
[00:26] <tonsofpcs> I've heard of support that refuses to help you if you changed OS but never a warranty fault
[00:27] <lauratika> they say warranty may be void if OS changes
[00:27] <needhelp1> lauratika: who is this again?
[00:27] <needhelp1> what vendor
[00:28] <blackshirt> because the help support doesn't experience with linux or unix os??? :d
[00:28] <blackshirt> They just knowing one OS :d
[00:28] <blackshirt> Very stupid
[00:29] <lauratika> officedepot
[00:29] <lauratika> i know!
[00:29] <lauratika> thats what they said
[00:29] <needhelp1> lauratika: are you attempting to return a pc/laptop and they wont take it becuase you installed ubuntu?
[00:29] <TheMiner> I would not do business with a manufacturer that would void warranties for someone trying to get out of a closed source operating system
[00:29] <lauratika> because OS is not the one came with the pc
[00:30] <lauratika> i know, but buyimng this pc was not my choice
[00:30] <needhelp1> lauratika, have you by chance contacted anyone besides the local store? maybe sending an email etc?
[00:31] <lauratika> well a extended 3 year warranty was bought with this pc with that vendor
[00:31] <lauratika> only applies in officedepot
[00:31] <TheMiner> am wondering if MicroShaft is subsidizing the cost of the warranty,....sounds super shady
[00:32] <lauratika> well was not cheap the warranty, but they say the hardware is under warranty for 3 years no matter what happens to the pc.
[00:32] <dr_willis> Im not sure they can void the warrenty based on what you have installed...
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> could if you agree to it and sign etc
[00:33] <lauratika> but original OS may stay the same, i think because of many pirate copys of windows around.
[00:33] <needhelp1> anyone know anything about the youtube unity lense?
[00:33] <lauratika> exactly ActionParsnip
[00:33] <TheMiner> Yeah I wouldnt put it past a company to do that,...first time I have heard of it,...but wouldnt say it never happens
[00:33] <dr_willis> needhelp1: .,... it exists? ;)
[00:33] <needhelp1> any idea if its offically offered via USC?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/unity-youtube-lens-updates-with-browser-free-video-playback
[00:33] <dr_willis> Your Warrenty Is voided if you power on the PC....
[00:33] <jhave> Hello
[00:33] <needhelp1> dr_willis: really
[00:34] <lauratika> also this is funny windows 7 will detect wired lan, but ubuntu wont
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: the PPA supports Oneiric and Precise
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: see above :)
[00:34] <dr_willis> Theres a great many more lens added to 12.10 which i am using now...
[00:34] <dr_willis> unity-lens-video - Unity Video lens
[00:34] <TheMiner> lauratika that one is easy,...the manufacturer made well sure that all of the components had MS signed drivers available before shipping
[00:34] <dr_willis> !info unity-lens-video
[00:35] <j4rg0n> Some companies just like to be assholes like that not to mention microsoft probably gets a cut of the money you spend on an extended warrenty so that the PC company will put that clause in your warrenty
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> ha class
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> !info lens-video scope-youtube
[00:35] <jhave> i have use debian for a loot of years but i think a migration to ubuntu is a stable way
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> nope :)
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> needs the ppa
[00:35] <jhave> its primary for servers
[00:35] <lauratika> TheMiner now i only can use wireless connection in ubntu
[00:36] <lauratika> dont know how to fix it, wired netwrok is gray out
[00:36] <TheMiner> need to update the driver
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> lauratika: what ethernet chip do you use?
[00:36] <Riley88> hey guys have any of yall had issues with waking from sleep after updating to kernel 3.5.3 on 12.04
[00:36] <Riley88> for somereason whenever i open my laptop it just flashes white
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: kernel 3.5 is for Quantal, not Precise. We cannot support 3rd party kernels
[00:37] <lauratika> ActionParsnip how can i know that with  lspci
[00:37] <lauratika> ??
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> lauratika: run:  sudo lshw -C network
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: I suggest you report a bug with the team / individual whom made the kernel
[00:37] <Riley88> dude dobt do that u mean to tell me that out of the 1500 people here no one has experienced that
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: its not supported here
[00:38] <dr_willis> Not a lot of people mess with the kernel these days..
[00:38] <dr_willis> ive not had to touch it in years.. yes.
[00:38] <Riley88> ]\\\\\\\\\\\]
[00:38] <TheMiner> I do's
[00:39] <TheMiner> am very literally compiling a new freebsd kernel as we speak
[00:39] <dr_willis> well theres always the weird ones.. ;P
[00:39] <lauratika> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1182628/
[00:40] <Riley88> what the hell is this the arch irc
[00:40] <lauratika> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1182628/
[00:40] <goddard> is there any way I can upgrade specific parts of my ubuntu install while still maintaining LTS for example the software center?
[00:41] <Riley88> why do u automatically shut someone down when u dont even give someone else time to answer
[00:41] <usr13> lauratika: You can issue this command in a terminal:  sudo dhclient eth0  #and probably start up the wired connection.
[00:41] <TheMiner>   goddard so long as you have all of the necessary dependencies,...and you are not building rockets in your back yard
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> lauratika: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> lauratika: also do you dual boot?
[00:42] <lauratika> do a what?
[00:42] <lauratika> precise
[00:43] <lauratika> is the output
[00:43] <usr13> ActionParsnip: lauratika has already told us that it is a dual boot system (Win7/Ubuntu).
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> lauratika: do you run windows on the same system as well as ubuntu
[00:43] <goddard> TheMiner: care to elaborate
[00:43] <goddard> haha
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> usr13: thanks
[00:43] <lauratika> yes
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> lauratika: in windows, disable the network devices ability to wake up the system as well as power management (avaailable in device manager)
[00:44] <gr33n7007h> lauratika, Have you tried a simple ifconfig eth0 up
[00:44] <lauratika> when trying  sudo dhclient eth0: i get RTNETLINK answers: Resource temporarily unavailable
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> lauratika: try the windows trick. Windows is garbage and may be holding teh device. Its one of the pitfalls of dual booting
[00:45] <hwkiller-netbook> use rfkill
[00:45] <harris> how do i sync files in my dropbox folder to my flashdrive in linux
[00:45] <harris> ubuntu
[00:45] <usr13> ActionParsnip: I think lauratika sent this to us earlier:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1182628/
[00:46] <harris> ActionParsnip,
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> harris: you can use rsync to duplicate the folder from one place to another
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> usr13: yes, saw taht one :D
[00:46] <harris> do i have to connect my flash drive everytime
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> harris: look into grsync
[00:47] <harris> is that a app
[00:47] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Ok, well, I don't really know what to make of it, so....
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> harris: yes
[00:47] <harris> i have a kingston flashdrive
[00:47] <lauratika> usr13: is there something wrong??
[00:47] <harris> if that helps
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> harris: you can run it when you desire and tell the files to be synced over
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> harris: the model is completely irelevant
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> harris: its a flash drive, tahts all we need.
[00:47] <usr13> lauratika: Did you do  "sudo ifconfig eth0 up"  ?
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> lauratika: try the windows trick, its common
[00:48] <harris> i need it to run whenever the drive is connected
[00:48] <usr13> lauratika: ... as gr33n7007h suggested ...
[00:48] <harris> and what happens if i plug it into a different port
[00:48] <lauratika> SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable
[00:48] <Riley88> actionparsnip your a freakin douchebag do u really think out of the 1500 people in the irc no one else here updates there kernel past percise
[00:48] <usr13> lauratika: I think ActionParsnip might be on to something.
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: its not supported here, channel policy
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: its literally THAT simple
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: its not a kernel from the official ubuntu repos, so its offtopic here
[00:49] <Riley88> and your a douche bag for not even giving somone else time to answer me first
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: if you use 3rd party packages then you can expect issues
[00:49] <lauratika> the network is disable and being a desktop there is no power managment
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: contact the creator
[00:49] <Riley88> its a freakin kernel
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: its offtopic here, so time is not an issue
[00:50] <lauratika> is that what you mean with the windows
[00:50] <lauratika> trick}
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: its an unopfficial kernel
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: so offtopic, you are free to go to other channels and discuss
[00:50] <usr13> Riley88: Why don't you try another channel?
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: you can even spawn your own channel and discuss there
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: but not here
[00:50] <rhombus> Has it ever happened that the Ubuntu install iso was too big to fit on a CD-R, even with overburn?
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> Riley88: so i'm not a douchebag at all, i'm upholding channel policy.   Has that ever happened with the Ubuntu isos?
[00:53] <theminer> no
[00:53] <theminer> They are formatted to fix the specific media
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> AndroUser2: in windows, disable the ability for teh hardware to wake up the system as well as well as disable power management
[00:53] <usr13> rhombus: Are you sure it's not a DVD iso?
[00:53] <AndroUser2> What
[00:53] <rhombus> usr13: Full disclosure -- it's a kubuntu iso.
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> AndroUser2: in windows there is an application called device manager
[00:53] <theminer> rhombus if you give me the filename of the iso I could help more
[00:53] <harris> ActionParsnip,  i missed what you said
[00:54] <usr13> rhombus: So, what size is it?
[00:54] <harris> what did you say after its a flash drive thats all we need
[00:54] <usr13> rhombus: and what is the name of it?
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> AndroUser2: if you use the mouse and right click (I assume right handedness) you can click 'properties'. You can then use the tabs at teh top of the window to find the options I am naming and uncheck them
[00:54] <harris> ActionParsnip,  what did you say
[00:55] <rhombus> usr13: kubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[00:55] <ms_daisy> !portugese
[00:55] <theminer> dvd
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> harris: as long as it is big enough to hold ~/Dropbox  you can duplicate it with grsync whenever you want to take a backup of the folder
[00:55] <bazhang> ms_daisy, #ubuntu-pt , or #ubuntu-br
[00:56] <ms_daisy> thanks bazhang
[00:56] <rhombus> usr13: Size is 703.3
[00:56] <rhombus> theminer: kubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
[00:56] <ms_daisy> !spanish
[00:56] <usr13> rhombus: From http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download "(the file size is 700MB)"
[00:56] <harris> how do i make it sync whenever the drive is plugged in
[00:56] <rhombus> usr13: Not today it isn't :)
[00:56] <theminer> rhombus maybe a bad download? have you checksumed the hash?
[00:57] <rhombus> theminer: yep
[00:57] <usr13> rhombus: md5sum kubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso  #And google the checksum
[00:57] <MrEmerald> So I installed ubuntu with wubi(apparently the wrong idea) and when I boot up ubuntu, I get the command prompt, which flashes for a second saying "prefix not found" which is the only thing I can make out. After that it goes to a screen that is distorted, and afer waiting a few seconds just goes to a blank screen where it makes a noise and just doesn't boot up. How do I fix this?
[00:57] <rhombus> apparently, this has happened before with sub-distros of Ubuntu
[00:57] <rhombus> usr13: Done that already, the checksum is good.
[00:57] <harris> so everytime i click synce will it resync everything
[00:57] <harris> so its there 2 times
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> harris: in the GUI, yes (once you set it up)
[00:58] <harris> what?
[00:58] <harris> is gui
[00:58] <harris> and i only want it to update the current info
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> harris: yes, grsync is a GUI for rsync
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> harris: you can use rsync in CLI if you like
[00:59] <harris> i only want it to be once
[00:59] <histo> harris: rsync -av /path/to/source /path/to/desitination
[00:59] <harris> and if i update a file it to update and if i add a new file it to be there
[00:59] <Myke974_> help! i had kernel.shmall and kernel.shmax entries to /etc/sysctl.conf aand now ubuntu stop booting : CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code =-12
[00:59] <Myke974_> i removed the entries without success
[00:59] <harris> i am syncing for the first time so how do i sync after this
[01:00] <MrEmerald>  So I installed ubuntu with wubi(apparently the wrong idea) and when I boot up ubuntu, I get the command prompt, which flashes for a second saying "prefix not found" which is the only thing I can make out. After that it goes to a screen that is distorted, and afer waiting a few seconds just goes to a blank screen where it makes a noise and just doesn't boot up. How do I fix this?
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> harris: yes, you can use grsync to run it once
[01:00] <zykotick9> Myke974_: cifs is samba isn't it?  take your smb mounts out of fstab (if you have any).
[01:01] <usr13> rhombus: Well, that looks to be accurate.  If you look at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/precise/release/  near the bottom, it says:  "703M" for that ISO.  I assume it will fit.  What burning sofrware are you using?
[01:01] <harris> under advanced there is an option called only update existing files what does that do
[01:01] <usr13> rhombus: Do you have 700M CDs?
[01:02] <Myke974_> zykotick9: i have 2 important mount in fstab i can't remove
[01:02] <histo> harris: that's what rsync does it only copies changes to files that are present. If the file doesn't exist at all it will transfer the whole thing.
[01:02] <rhombus> usr13: I'm using k3b. The nominal size of the CD-Rs is 700 MB. The iso is exactly 703.3 MB, which is 0.5 MB shy of k3b's hard limit of 702.8 MB for that CD-R.
[01:02] <zykotick9> Myke974_: samba mounts?
[01:03] <histo> rhombus: do you have a spare thumb drive laying around?
[01:03] <usr13> rhombus: Do you have the 700M CDs, or some old 650M ones?
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> harris: it only copies new files rather than al files
[01:03] <harris> so all i have to do is press sync and it works
[01:04] <Myke974_> zykotick9 :1 is for a ramdisk and the other is a windows shared folder but it seems my pprb is memory related
[01:04] <harris> does it also update old
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> harris: yes
[01:04] <rhombus> histo: not one without important data on it. I was kinda hoping to do this with a CD-R. I am trying to report a bug at the kubuntu page, but they don't make it easy.
[01:04] <zykotick9> Myke974_: well, good luck then.  <i won't see any further of your issue, so don't reply to me>
[01:04] <harris> so i should check it
[01:04] <usr13> rhombus: I don't know really, just speculating / guessing at a possible problem.
[01:04] <rhombus> usr13: I have the 700 MB CD-Rs.
[01:04] <harris> i need this flash drive for school
[01:04] <TARE> Hi! I have several propblems starting up apps after upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 12.04. It seems they are related to Apparmor. Can anyoane help me please?
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> harris: well if there is no data on the usb then it won't make a difference
[01:05] <rhombus> usr13: I think the problem is that whoever made the iso goofed and didn't check that it was within the size limit for the standard.
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> harris: if you use it data and don't check it, you will copy the same data to the same files which is a bit pointless
[01:05] <harris> i already synced it so next time i sync
[01:05] <rhombus> usr13: and... since this has happened before and was logged as a bug and fixed...
[01:05] <usr13> rhombus: Ok, well there you go.
[01:06] <rhombus> usr13: I was wondering if it was just a sub-distro problem, or if it happens to the core Ubuntu isos also.
[01:06] <Myke974_> zykotick9: seems you are right !  once i added thoses memory entries  the samab shares went mad
[01:06] <Myke974_> *samba
[01:07] <Bomboz819> hello people im trying to install tight vnc to putty ssh command
[01:07] <usr13> rhombus: I doubt that the issue would be related.
[01:08] <rhombus> usr13: related to what?
[01:08] <harris> last thing is there an easy way to convert odt to docx
[01:08] <MrEmerald>  So I installed ubuntu with wubi(apparently the wrong idea) and when I boot up ubuntu, I get the command prompt, which flashes for a second saying "prefix not found" which is the only thing I can make out. After that it goes to a screen that is distorted, and afer waiting a few seconds just goes to a blank screen where it makes a noise and just doesn't boot up. How do I fix this?
[01:08] <Jordan_U> harris: Open the file in LibreOffice and save as docx.
[01:09] <harris> i have a bunch of files Jordan_U  can i do all of them at once
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> MrEmerald: what video chip do you use?
[01:11] <MrEmerald> let me check
[01:11] <lauratika> im back, windows rtick didnt work network wired still gray out
[01:12] <lauratika> any ideas, can some one help me please.?
[01:12] <harris> what is odf format
[01:12] <Jordan_U> MrEmerald: You can't even boot into Windows?
[01:13] <MrEmerald> Jordan_U: I can boot into windows
[01:13] <MrEmerald> just not ubuntu
[01:13] <MrEmerald> and I can't find my specs :/
[01:13] <Jordan_U> MrEmerald: Then just boot into Windows, uninstall Wubi (after backing up any documents you have in your Wubi installation first), and install Ubuntu normally.
[01:14] <MrEmerald> The thing was for some reason I can't install on a disc, and my flash drive wasn't booting properly
[01:14] <Jordan_U> MrEmerald: What happened when you tried to boot from the USB drive? How did you create the USB drive?
[01:14] <MrEmerald> I used the universal usb
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> MrEmerald: device manager wil tell you
[01:14] <MrEmerald> I also have lili

[01:15] <Guest8698> use unetbootin, dat always works for me.
[01:16] <Jordan_U> MrEmerald: I asked two questions. You only answered one :)
[01:16] <MrEmerald> Jordan_U: When I tried to boot from the usb drive the boot failed, just sat on a blank screen
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> MrEmerald: tried the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[01:17] <Jordan_U> MrEmerald: What did you see before the blank screen?
[01:17] <MrEmerald> it was the try, install, etc screen
[01:17] <MrEmerald> ActionParsnip: boot option?
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> MrEmerald: yes
[01:18] <Jordan_U> !nomodeset | MrEmerald

[01:50] <usr13> darknyss: hdsentinel:
[01:50] <darknyss> usr13 ??
[01:50] <bazhang> TARE, ask the exact issue, stop asking for a guru
[01:50] <usr13> http://www.hdsentinel.com/hard_disk_sentinel_linux.php
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> Kirill: sudo update-rc.d sshd remove
[01:51] <Kirill> ActionParsnip: super.
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> but replace sshd with the squid service name
[01:51] <hylian> zelrik: do you get the grub screen that lets you choose things like what operating system to use?
[01:51] <Kirill> ActionParsnip: I got that part =)
[01:51] <darknyss> usr13, what are you talking about??
[01:51] <zelrik> hylian, I have 2 computers, not 2 OS on 1
[01:51] <TARE> @<bazhang>: I dont need to ask a scripting kiddie, stop answer in this channel if you don't master ununtu, punk.
[01:52] <hylian> zelrik: ok, I am confused. so you have 2 computers, one wth ubuntu, and one with windows. the one with windows decided today to not let you boot?
[01:52] <jagginess> !ops TARE
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> jagginess: too late
[01:52] <bazhang> jagginess, he's gone
[01:52] <jagginess> ok
[01:52] <jagginess> :)
[01:52] <zelrik> hylian, it s about filesharing
[01:52] <Kaori> is there a program I can use to create a queue of files to copy, then delete the ones I don't want to copy off the list before copying (gui)?
[01:53] <usr13> darknyss: Was it not you that asked about checking HardDrive health?
[01:53] <zelrik> hylian, I cant access my window7 files from my laptop
[01:53] <bazhang> Kaori, a text editor?
[01:53] <Kirill> ActionParsnip: somewhat related -- how do I check the list of services that get started on startup?
[01:53] <hylian> zelrik: ohh, i get it. so you fired up ubuntu, and the windows pc doesn't show up on the network!?
[01:53] <zelrik> hylian, you know... file transfer between computers
[01:53] <Kaori> bazhang,  how?
[01:53] <zelrik> yeah
[01:53] <bazhang> Kaori, gedit is one such text editor with a gui
[01:54] <usr13> It was datruth
[01:54] <Kaori> bazhang, but how do I copy that list of files?
[01:54] <usr13> datruth: smartctl - Control and Monitor Utility for SMART Disks
[01:54] <jagginess> Kaori, that is also the default text editor in accessories
[01:54] <bazhang> Kaori, please describe the issue in some more detail; what list of files, to what end
[01:55] <usr13> datruth: hdsentinel http://www.hdsentinel.com/hard_disk_sentinel_linux.php
[01:55] <hylian> zelrik: ok, so have you done the usual steps of shutting down (if you can) network hardware and the 2 computers, and see if that helps? (I know this is probably a dumb question, but you'd be amazed at how many people never try this.)
[01:55] <Kaori> I am trying to copy files off a dying hard drive, but to make sure I get as many important files as I can, I'm omitting the files I don't need.. best way to do this?
[01:55] <jagginess> Kaori, cat a b |xclip , then midmouse button pastes
[01:55] <tucemiux> anyone here uses ubuntu on an SSD drive?  I'm thinking about running only ubuntu on an SSD drive and h ave another SATA drive with my data
[01:55] <usr13> darknyss: Sorry, wrong nick
[01:55] <zelrik> hylian, right now, I am wondering if I have a working samba at all
[01:55] <zelrik> on ubuntu
[01:56] <jagginess> Kaori, oh that.. that's another story.. you'll have to look at tools like dd_rescue..
[01:56] <tucemiux> Kaori, slave the drive to another machine or use one of those gizmos that allow you to connect the hard drive as a USB device
[01:56] <usr13> tucemiux: Kaori "usb adapter"
[01:56] <Kaori> is it true that the more I access files off the HD the more files I lose?
[01:56] <zelrik> hylian, I am following this http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/04/share-files-folders-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/ and there is no samba showing up in my system settings
[01:56] <Kaori> *the more the data becomes harder to read?
[01:57] <Kaori> if not I guess I can just try to copy everything
[01:57] <hylian> zelrik: well, did you have the two computers recognizing each other on the network before?
[01:57] <TUplink> hi all i get my samba setup w/ a LDAP backend finaly got a computer to join the domain and well i cent get profiles to work i am getting     passdb/lookup_sid.c:1667(get_primary_group_sid) Failed to find a Unix account for COMPUTERNAMEP$check_sam_security: make_server_info_sam() failed with 'NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER' i have a fealing its because getent passwd dose not return  the computer names only users local and LDAP any idea hot to get
[01:57] <jagginess> Kaori, real linux people use dd_rescue, and go hardcore
[01:57] <tucemiux> Kaori, you forgot to mention - what OS is installed on the drive?  on linux systems you typically backup "/home" directories, on windows system their profile - it depends if you have win7 or xp
[01:57] <zelrik> hylian, between linux machines yes
[01:58] <zelrik> not with windows
[01:58] <zelrik> oh
[01:58] <usr13> Kaori: It depends.  Sometimes the problem is that the drive overheats and will no longer read.  In which case, you get it nice and cool, hook it up and quickly download files from it, (sometimes you'll only have 5 minutes or so before it quits again).
[01:58] <zelrik> I didnt have system-config-samba installed
[01:58] <hylian> zelrik: ahh, I see. Yeah, samba probably isn't installed then. I am assuming then that you used ubuntu software center or apt-get to install it?
[01:58] <tucemiux> TUplink, but what does samba have to do with ubuntu? o.O
[01:58] <zelrik> yeah
[01:59] <TUplink> lmao. i think its the way getent passwd gets those names
[01:59] <TUplink> i dont see COMPUTERNAME$ just a hunch
[01:59] <hylian> zelrik: just so i am on the same page with you, you have now installed samba, restarted the machine you installed it to, and rebootred the windows machine?
[02:00] <zelrik> hylian, I am rebooting my linux computer after installing samba
[02:02] <hylian> zelrik: ohh, right now. Ok i'll wait to see if you get any results. Windows xp and vista didn't like to see network machines until after reboot on occasion. i haven't had the chance to see if 7 is the same. maybe you won't have to reboot it.
[02:03] <usr13> zelrik: Why reboot?
[02:03] <krionic> I have a question concerning bcache. Does the installation process wipe the data on the backing device?
[02:03] <hylian> usr13: he is attempting to get samba do work with a win 7 machine/
[02:04] <jagginess> hylian, ?
[02:04] <jagginess> lol
[02:04] <usr13> hylian: Ok, but I've never needed to reboot to get samba to work.
[02:04] <hylian> jagginess: um, did I miss something?
[02:04] <jagginess> he trying to access share on windows or viceversa?
[02:04] <hylian> usr13: I had to a few times. But in all honesty, I havent done much with it since 9.10.
[02:05] <zelrik> I still dont see any machine from ubuntu
[02:05] <zelrik> findsmb gives me 0 results
[02:05] <padhu> hylian: are you checked firewall status on windows?
[02:05] <usr13> hylian: Well, carry on, I was just questioning.
[02:05] <hylian> zelrik: maybe usr13 or jagginess would be a better helper with this. I just realized I havent done any serious ubuntu networking since the latter part of 2009.. sorry
[02:06] <zelrik> ok
[02:06] <zelrik> I got very bad with windows
[02:06] <zelrik> havent used it for a while
[02:06] <hylian> padhu: not me, I was helping zelrik with his networking issues.
[02:06] <padhu> hylian: okey
[02:07] <hylian> zelrik: do you have windows 7 set up for local network sharing?
[02:07] <zelrik> I think
[02:07] <zelrik> I am not sure it s setup properly
[02:07] <usr13> !samba | zelrik
[02:07] <zelrik> I have taken care of the samba part I think
[02:08] <hypermux> hi. how can i get upstart to see my conf file? i created /etc/init/myserver.conf
[02:08] <hypermux> but when i initctl list | grep myserver
[02:08] <hypermux> i dont see it
[02:08] <hypermux> even if i `kill -HUP 1`
[02:09] <hylian> zelrik: this has abeen a while, but in xp and vista, you could force windows to search for new network neighbors. But I have done so little with windows 7 that i am not a good pick for this question. I wish I was more helpful. :(
[02:09] <jagginess> zelrik, um, you trying to access a share on windows, or a share on linux? (you dont need samba for linux to access a share on windows)
[02:10] <skpl^> hello #ubuntu
[02:10] <jagginess> zelrik, konqueror/nautilus can do it, however the smbclient cli command is part of the samba toolkit
[02:10] <krionic> zelrick: I just finished setting up my samba on the latest ubuntu lts. From windows 7, I brought up the run command and typed in \\SERVER_NAME[Enter] to bring up my server. Have you tried that?
[02:10] <AndChat|49209> How to install to web server in home?
[02:11] <zelrik> I dont know the server name
[02:11] <hylian> hypermux: most apps on ubuntu use the conf files in /etc as more of a "oops i deleted my conf file" spot than the actual working conf file. there's a good chance that the conf file you want to edit is in the /home directory, hidden. I would read the man files for it.
[02:11] <jagginess> zelrik, \\<ip> can work too.
[02:12] <hypermux> hylian: are you speaking of upstart or something unrelated?:)
[02:12] <usr13> hypermux: man update-rc.d
[02:12] <hylian> jagginess: really? that's a great feature. now you can try and force windows hand by feeding it the ip addy aye? cool.
[02:13] <hypermux> usr13: my understanding what upstart used inotify to check for .conf file changes
[02:13]  * jagginess uses a lan dns server, \\<dns hostname> works too
[02:13] <hypermux> usr13: and update-rc.d seems to be for the systemV stuff
[02:13] <krionic> zelrick: for me, it used my computer's host name. Open up a terminal and type "hostname" to get your computer's name
[02:14] <hylian> ohh man, my guts are killing me. time to take some meds and pass out. sorry all, goodbye.
[02:15] <hyperair> hi. i've recently had trouble logging into lightdm -- after keyign in my password, it behaves like it's going to log me in, and then X terminates and i'm back at the login screen. Xorg.$DISPLAY.log shows that it terminated properly though, so it's not an X issue.

[02:27] <blackshirt> yes, you have doing some wrong step I think :D
[02:28] <lisa-e> i know
[02:29] <i7c> lisa-e: as long as you didn't actually _write_ the changes to the disk you should be able to just go back
[02:29] <lisa-e> no i logout therefore write changes on the disk
[02:30] <i7c> lisa-e: you just logged out and closed gparted by that? then it should not have written any changes to the disk
[02:30] <lisa-e> yes now in gparted shows whole  hd as alocated space\

[02:40] <KM0201> Halfalife: i'd agree, it's one of you rfunction keys... just find which one it is (mine is f8)
[02:40] <Halfalife> KM0201, I as helping someone else.
[02:40] <Halfalife> I know which key toggles Wifi on my laptops
[02:40] <KM0201> oh, woops.
[02:40] <KM0201> lol
[02:40] <Halfalife> Well, on my Thinkpad, it's an actual swich.

[02:42] <Heartbeats> um
[02:43] <krionic> I have a question concerning bcache. Does the installation process wipe the data on the backing device?
[02:43] <lisa-e> krionic> im trying that one but cant install gpart
[02:43] <Heartbeats> my function keys are all labeled
[02:43] <Halfalife> Any with an antenna-looking thing?
[02:44] <Heartbeats> no
[02:44] <Halfalife> Hm...
[02:44] <Halfalife> What's the model of the laptop?
[02:44] <Heartbeats> hp pavillion dv4
[02:44] <IcemanV9> on my hp (elitebook 6930p), it's blue antenna on the top of keyboard
[02:44] <KorvinSzanto> why is logging in instantaneous, but entering the wrong password takes a few seconds to tell you that it's wrong?
[02:44] <Halfalife> To slow down bruteforcing.
[02:44] <Halfalife> I'd assume.
[02:44] <KorvinSzanto> didn't think of that
[02:44] <Halfalife> The delay usually gets longer each time.
[02:44] <Halfalife> Until eventually it locks you out.
[02:46] <Halfalife> Heartbeats, one sec.
[02:47] <Heartbeats> okay
[02:47] <Halfalife> Well, from what I read, it should be on the top right.
[02:47] <Halfalife> But if not, just google "HP Pavilion dv4 wifi enable"
[02:48] <Heartbeats> ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[02:48] <Heartbeats> uuuh thanks lol
[02:48] <Heartbeats> i think my mind knew that last week
[02:48] <Halfalife> No problem.
[02:48] <Heartbeats> no really thanks.
[02:49] <nronksr> How do I determine that my laptop webcam is detected?  what command can I run to determine that?  ie:  lshw -c video tells me my video driver...
[02:50] <krionic> lisa-e: I have recovered a corrupted ext4 before, but I can't find the instructions I used. Sorry. For what it's worth, if you have files you just HAVE to recover, I have used a program called scalpel to recover pictures from a drive that had been reformatted.
[02:50] <Brick3d> I have heard good things about Recuva I think it is.
[02:51] <Halfalife> Does that work in Linux?
[02:51] <Halfalife> I've used it in Windows, and it worked beautifully.
[02:51] <Brick3d> I believe it is native Linux.
[02:51] <krionic> anyone here ever use bcache?
[02:51] <Halfalife> No, sorry.
[02:51] <Brick3d> I think it even comes on Backtrack
[02:51] <Halfalife> Really?
[02:51] <Halfalife> Under Forensics, maybe?
[02:51] <Brick3d> I would have to check though
[02:52] <Brick3d> Yeah, under Forensics probably
[02:52] <Brick3d> There was another good one that a friend used on  a schools computer to find some fun stuff.
[02:52] <Brick3d> I will see if it is in my email.
[02:54] <Brick3d> Ah. I found the one I was thinking of. It is called Foremost.
[02:54] <mindbender1> how can I determine which command a particular keyboard shortcut is bound to?
[02:54] <Brick3d> Mindbender, you can usually check Keyboard Properties to see.
[02:55] <jagginess> mindbender1, for bash/
[02:55] <jagginess> mindbender1, ?
[02:56] <mindbender1> jagginess: no, for system level shortcuts like Alt+TAB
[02:56] <Halfalife> Alright, this is strange...
[02:56] <Brick3d> Hmmm.... Thats an interesting question
[02:56] <Halfalife> Well, you can change them with compiz-config and the like.
[02:56] <jagginess> mindbender1, should say in systemsettings/keyb (then one of the tabs)
[02:56] <Halfalife> But other than that, not sure.
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> mindbender1: hold the superL key down for a long while and you will see
[02:58] <mindbender1> ActionParsnip: superL?
[02:58] <jagginess> mindbender1, that's the windowslogo key
[02:58] <mindbender1> jagginess: oh, ok
[02:59] <mindbender1> ActionParsnip: the information given there is a bit useless
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> mindbender1: aka 'windows key'
[03:00] <Brick3d> Anyone have any idea why my screen starts displaying random color pixels when I use my hardware keys for Screen Brightness?
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> mindbender1: aka 'Mod4'
[03:01] <krionic> anyone here ever use bcache?
[03:01] <mindbender1> ActionParsnip: I understand, I meant the actual info given after holding superL
[03:01]  * jagginess thinks krionic, is asking for more than 3 times the same question
[03:01] <Brick3d> I havent used bcache b4.
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> mindbender1: if you have all windows minimized, the shortcuts set will display
[03:01] <Brick3d> Whats it do?
[03:01] <mindbender1> what do they mean by switch windows. i need to know what command it is calling
[03:02] <jagginess> Brick3d, recuva what is that?
[03:02] <jagginess> "<Brick3d> I have heard good things about Recuva I think it is."
[03:02] <mindbender1> like in emacs
[03:02] <mindbender1> where you can do C-h k
[03:02] <krionic> Brick3d: bcache lets you use an ssd drive to cache data being sent to RAM for faster response.
[03:02] <IcemanV9> mindbender1:  ctrl+alt+arrows (up, down, left or right)?
[03:03] <Brick3d> Recuva is a forensics program for finding files after they have been deleted or formatted
[03:03] <mindbender1> IcemanV9: what command is that bound to?
[03:03] <ow> !ops botnet incoming
[03:03] <ow> !ops | botnet incoming
[03:03] <IcemanV9> switch windows
[03:03] <Brick3d> That sounds pretty interesting Krionic
[03:03] <jagginess> Brick3d, is it piriform.com? that's for m$windows platform.. why would you give an opinion on that? people use ext3/ext4 on linux.
[03:04] <ev_> so i have been using 'screen'. i launched it from /usr/share/doc/blah blah. once in screen if i ctrl a for a new window the bash starts @ /usr/share/.... can i get it to goto root (or elsewhere) without closing screen?
[03:04] <Brick3d> I got my programs mixed up for a sec.
[03:04] <jagginess> "<Brick3d> I believe it is native Linux."
[03:04]  * jagginess thinks Brick3d is trolling.
[03:04] <Brick3d> I meant to say Foremost
[03:04] <jagginess> it isn't anything close to being on linux AT ALL.
[03:04] <jagginess> neither is foremost
[03:05] <Brick3d> I have used Foremost on Backtrack
[03:05] <zykotick9> ev_: exit out of your current screen session, and restart screen from your home (or prefered directory)
[03:05] <Jak_Atackka> Hello! I'm having audio problems with Sid Meier's Civilization 5. I've already tried disabling pulseaudio
[03:05] <jaime> Quick question for the experts... Running Precise Pangolin and I'm trying to figure out how to add a shortcut to a wine program...
[03:07] <ActionParsnip> Brick3d: if you keep good backups, it makes foremost redundant
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> jaime: the way I have done it in the past is make a bash script to run the application, then make a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications to run the script
[03:08] <Brick3d> Foremost isnt redundant if you are using it to recover information from someone elses drive
[03:08] <Brick3d> Either in legal precedings or just helping a friend
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> Brick3d: true but they should have backups if the data is important, its that simple
[03:09] <Jak_Atackka> ActionParsnip: But what if they have a small hard drive, and can't afford to back up their data?
[03:09] <jaime> Everything I've seen online says to right-click on the desktop and select "Create Launcher" but I don't see that as a choice.
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> Jak_Atackka: foremost needs another location to spit the resulting files to
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> Jak_Atackka: you can use ubuntuone and dropbox as free backup storage if the drive is small
[03:10] <Jak_Atackka> ActionParsnip: Not if you have a crappy internet connection
[03:10] <Brick3d> Or if you have sensitive information that you need to back up
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> Jak_Atackka: you still need a partition mounted writable to extract the data to
[03:12] <Jak_Atackka> Well, anyways, does anyone know why Sid Meier's Civ 5 has no sound?
[03:12] <Brick3d> Do you have sound in other programs?
[03:13] <Jak_Atackka> Every other one
[03:13] <Brick3d> Could be something to do with how Wine is running the program
[03:13] <Brick3d> Maybe change the audio settings for WIne?
[03:13] <Jak_Atackka> I have a few other Wine programs with working sound
[03:13] <jagginess> wine sux
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> jaime: if you copy a .desktop file from ~/.config/autostart  and modify it, you can make it run what you want.
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> jagginess: some apps run better than windows under wine
[03:15] <ev_> zykotick9: just to be clear, i can detach: ctrl a, d
[03:15] <Brick3d> Jak_Attacka: Have you tried running that program using PlayOnLinux?
[03:16] <Brick3d> Or Crossover?
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> Jak_Atackka: is there anyting in the appdb about the sound?
[03:16] <abro21> when i change my power settings they don't change on my computer. i.e. when i set "When the lid is closed: Do nothing" I
[03:16] <Jak_Atackka> ActionParsnip: appdb?
[03:17] <abro21> I'll close my computer and it sleeps
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> Jak_Atackka: yes, appdb
[03:17] <Jak_Atackka> Brick3d: No, and no
[03:17] <anditosan> I installed ubuntu successfully but on a system with UEFI, now only windows loads although ubuntu is actually installed on a partition. What do I do now?
[03:17] <anditosan> please help
[03:17] <Jak_Atackka> What is appdb?
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> Jak_Atackka: search and you will find
[03:17] <Ph1rmw4r3> !info appdb
[03:18] <Jak_Atackka> Oh, right
[03:18] <Jak_Atackka> Didn't know it was called that
[03:18] <zelrik> hi
[03:18] <Jak_Atackka> ActionParsnip: There is only one suggested fix, and it didn't work
[03:18] <Brick3d> I have played around with Crossover when trying to run games and it seems to do the trick usually.
[03:18] <zelrik> I am getting the following error called name not present
[03:18] <zelrik> when trying a smb connection
[03:18] <Brick3d> Only thing is that it is a pay for program
[03:18] <zelrik> to a win7 computer
[03:18] <Jak_Atackka> Brick3d: I don't have the money to spare, unfortunately
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> Jak_Atackka: yes, there are little tidbits of guides on how to make apps work in wine as well as user experiences of apps. It may not even be able to get sound under wine, some apps refuse to even install. It should be the first place you look when messing with wine
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> zelrik: what are you using to connect?
[03:19] <Ph1rmw4r3> hi xangua
[03:19] <zelrik> ActionParsnip, I am using the following command: smbclient -L <ip>
[03:20] <Jak_Atackka> ActionParsnip: I've looked at that before, and it appears that the sound bug is sporadic and only affects a few people. I have a terrible internet connection, so redownloading it is only a last resort
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> zelrik: if you run:  smbtree     do you see the share?
[03:20] <zelrik> I can ping that ip without problem
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> Jak_Atackka: i'd ask in #winehq too
[03:20] <Jak_Atackka> ActionParsnip: Okay, thanks
[03:20] <zelrik> ActionParsnip, no
[03:20] <Guddu> When i add a USB Printer....Can it show up as LPT#1 in the Device Screen when we press Add Printer?
[03:20] <jagginess> zelrik, btw, one of the firmware updates on that router (remember me? :), has to do with dhcp/ip reserve, (from v 2.01)
[03:21] <zelrik> jagginess, do you think that will fix that problem?
[03:23] <DG_> hey guys
[03:25] <DG_> is chromium web browser on the software center chrome?
[03:25] <DG_> because i dont want to type my password in and get hacked or something
[03:26] <zykotick9> DG_: chromium != chrome
[03:26] <anditosan> anyone know how to install ubuntu with uefi?
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> zelrik: check your firewall onwindows is allowing the traffic
[03:27] <DG_> i know that chromium is chrome but is the one on the app store thats the blue google chrome symbol because it tells me to enter in my password to sync
[03:28] <beatbreaker> !ping
[03:29] <Halfalife> !ping
[03:29] <Jak_Atackka> Okay, I've been having a very annoying bug. I can only use sound through HDMI Out (I use an HDTV as my monitor) or through a headphone jack. In order to switch from one to the other, I have to change alsabase.conf and reboot
[03:29] <jagginess> !uefi
[03:29] <jagginess> !efi
[03:29] <jagginess> :/...
[03:29] <jagginess> geez its dry on efi..
[03:30] <Jak_Atackka> No, ubottu is down
[03:30] <Jak_Atackka> I can't ping him
[03:30] <Halfalife> Jak_Atackka, can you see both in Alsamixre?
[03:30] <Halfalife> mixer*
[03:30] <anditosan> jagginess, any clue on how to install with uefi?
[03:30] <Jak_Atackka> Halfalife: No
[03:31] <Halfalife> Just to make sure, you've scrolled all the way to the right?
[03:31] <Jak_Atackka> Yep
[03:31] <Halfalife> And they don't both show up in PulseAudio?
[03:31] <Jak_Atackka> Nope.
[03:32] <jaime> ActionParsnip: I'm getting "Access denied" when I try to copy into /usr/share/applications
[03:32] <DG_> guys, is the blue chromium app the REAL chrome or should i actually download it, im so confused
[03:32] <jaime> I'm a bit of a Linux n00b...
[03:32] <Halfalife> Chromium is an open-source implementation of Chrome.
[03:32] <Halfalife> As long as you're downloading from the official repository, you should be fine.
[03:32] <Halfalife> And yes, it has a blue icon.
[03:33] <DG_> i downloaded it from the ubuntu software center
[03:33] <xangua> Halfalife: it's chrome who gets it's source from chromium
[03:33] <Halfalife> Yes, but when I said implementation.
[03:34] <Halfalife> I just mean that it's the open-source alternative.
[03:34] <Halfalife> Didn't Google write the source, anyways?
[03:34] <Halfalife> So Chrome doesn't as much "get its source from Chromium" as it shares it.
[03:35] <Guddu> When i add a USB Printer....Can it show up as LPT#1 in the Device Screen when we press Add Printer?
[03:36] <DG_> so basically if i downloaded it from the ubuntu software center im safe?
[03:36] <Halfalife> Yes.
[03:36] <Halfalife> Assuming you didn't add a sketchy source at some point.
[03:36] <rypervenche> Like a PPA.
[03:36] <DG_> add a sketchy source?
[03:36] <DG_> i JUST installed ubuntu lol
[03:36] <Halfalife> Oh, yeah, you're fine then.
[03:36] <rypervenche> Then you're good.
[03:36] <DG_> alright sweet
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> jaime: run:  gksudo nautilus $HOME    and you should be able to
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> DG_: chromium is the open source chrome, its fine. the bugs reported in chromium go on to make chrome
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> DG_: snapshots of chromium are taken the some proprietary lumps get added and it makes the next release of chrome
[03:39] <DG_> alright cool, i just didnt want to get my google account hacked lmao
[03:40] <DG_> also, how can i make a picture my background? is it just right click it or do i have to add it to like a backgrounds file :/
[03:40] <Halfalife> In Ubuntu?
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> DG_: you can use the chrome browser if you want, there is a deb supplied by google for both 64bit and 32bit Ubuntu
[03:40] <Halfalife> Which DE?
[03:41] <Halfalife> You can probably right-click on desktop, and there'll be an option.
[03:41] <Halfalife> That's how it is in Xubuntu, not sure in Unity.
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> unity isn't a DE
[03:42] <Halfalife> Yeah, sorry.
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> :) it's cool </nitpicking>
[03:42] <Halfalife> I'd just like to interject for a moment...
[03:42] <DG_> well i guess ill just use chromium lol
[03:42] <Halfalife> But what you're referring to as Unity is, etc, etc.
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> DG_: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/landing_chrome.html
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> Halfalife: its a shell for gnome
[03:44] <Halfalife> Yeah, I'm aware.
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> DG_: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/eula.html?platform=linux&hl=en
[03:44] <Halfalife> As I said, I just consider it a DE.
[03:44] <DG_> thanks, i already got it
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> Itd be nice if you could run it without a DE, like you can with openbox / fluxbox etc, that'd be awesome
[03:45] <Hwkiller> you can
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> Hwkiller: really?
[03:45] <Hwkiller> it's just a compiz plugin
[03:45] <Hwkiller> you can run compiz standalone
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> Hwkiller: wouldn't you need gnome installed to run compiz though
[03:45] <Hwkiller> not at all
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> ahhh, wasnt aware
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> hmm, may have to play later
[03:46] <Hwkiller> I ran compiz standalone on arch for a long time. it was nice
[03:46] <DG_> brb
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> Hwkiller: yeah, there are a few guides
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> looks like the future
[03:47] <hylian> anyone have a way to permanently show the shutdown button on gnome 3 without using the alt key?
[03:47] <Hwkiller> no... definitely not the future
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> Hwkiller: thanks man
[03:48] <Hwkiller> hylian: there is a plugin on the extension website for that
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> same guff, fewer resources. Sounds ideam
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> ideal
[03:48] <blackshirt> why on apt-get update process this error was happen W: GPG error InRelease: Unknown error executing gpgv
[03:48] <hylian> Hwkiller: what website is that, gnome's website?
[03:48] <blackshirt> ?
[03:48] <Hwkiller> https://extensions.gnome.org/
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: can you give a pastebin of the full output of:  sudo apt-get update     Thanks
[03:49] <Hwkiller> ActionParsnip: except that a window manager by itself isn't that useful unless you know what you're doing
[03:49] <hylian> Hwkiller: thanks Hwkiller!
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> Hwkiller: true but a default install could set it up nice for you :)
[03:49] <Bomboz819> Hi i have a dedicated server and i have ubuntu install how can i get see desktop icon where do i begin
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: the server install doesn't have an X server or desktop icons, its command line based
 how can i see desktop icons i need interface
[03:50] <Halfalife> Install X.
[03:51] <Hwkiller> install a -desktop package (e.g., apt-get install ubuntu-desktop)
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: what do you want teh server to do exactly?
[03:51] <Halfalife> sudo apt-get install xorg-server? Not actually sure.
[03:51]  * Hwkiller can't believe he just recommended a metapackage. blech
[03:51] <blackshirt> ActionParsnip: this is output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1182836/
[03:51] <Halfalife> Yeah, don't install ubuntu-desktop
[03:52] <Bomboz819> how do i start my server and see desktop icons
[03:52] <Halfalife> .Just install the packages you want.
[03:52] <Bomboz819> am new to ubuntu
[03:52] <Halfalife> Well, what exactly are you using?
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: debian isnt suported here
[03:52] <Halfalife> Ubuntu server, Ubuntu minimal, *buntu?
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: what is the server going to be performing in its role as server?
[03:52] <Hwkiller> Bomboz819: if you wanted an interface, you should've installed the version of ubuntu w/ an interface, :p
[03:52] <Hwkiller> but just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

[04:07] <Guddu> ActionParsnip:  Are we required to remember those shortcuts?
[04:08] <Guddu> Is there no menu items?
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: you do realize that if you install cheese on the server, connect with:  ssh -X user@server     you can then run cheese and view what the webcam sees....
[04:08] <Bomboz819> i will like to installl teamviewer on my server to be able ont my windows pc to see linux desktop environement
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: is that what you desire? To see what the webcam sees?
[04:08] <Hwkiller> teamviewer is remote desktop isn't it?
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> Hwkiller: ye
 yesss
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: do you just want to be able to see what the webcam attached to the server side sees?
[04:10] <King_Cobra> how do ya uninstall Mint 7 from ubuntu 12.04..? ..i made a boot disc for and older computer but it installed it on my hard disk instead of making a LiveCD.. now im stuck with Mint, Ubuntu, and Win 7 on one hard drive..
[04:10] <Hwkiller> if that's the case, he should use motion :p, that is a great program
[04:10] <luftikuss> Why does Ubuntu 12.04.1 not provide a package for gpg4usb? http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de/index.html
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> King_Cobra: just delete the partitions mint is installed to then run:  sudo update-grub      should be ok (be sure to archive any data you need)
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> luftikuss: could report a bug
[04:11] <luftikuss> King_Cobra: Mint is not supported in this channel. There is a separate Mint channel.
[04:11] <King_Cobra> no kidding luft.. i dont want mint on my hard drive..
 first off all i have install on my dedicated server ubuntu 12.0.4 lts for now am using putty to connect and install the gnome interface because i need interface icon not command line i need to setup my server gui interface thanks
[04:12] <luftikuss> ActionParsnip: I do not understand you well. Do you mean that I should turn to Launchpad errors? Where to place my wish there?
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: can you kindly answer my question regarding the webcam
[04:13] <King_Cobra> im using ubuntu to remove mint.. not asking about mint at all other then how to remove it..
[04:13] <Bomboz819> how do a start it the gui
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> luftikuss: if you feel the package should be in the repos, report a bug
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: do you want to watch the webcam on the remote site, is that what you are trying to achieve?
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: like a security system?
[04:13] <King_Cobra> ty action.. will try
 no i need setup the gui interface linux
[04:14] <luftikuss> ActionParsnip: A but can only be reported for a specific existing Ubuntu package. But a Ubuntu package gpg4usb does not exist.
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: ok then if you don't want to connect to the webcam then my suggestion won't count
[04:15] <luftikuss> s/but/bug report/
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: 04:53 < Bomboz819> <ActionParsnip> chating systeme audio video _webcam hosting_     does sound a LOT like you want to view the webcam on the other side
 am using camfrog hosting software
[04:16] <Bomboz819> paltalk
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: if you are dead set on a GUI on your server (bad idea) you can install LXDE and get a light
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: camfrog doesn't run in Linux
 yess camfrog server work on linux
[04:19] <zelrik> hi
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: http://www.howtoforge.com/install-camfrogserver-advanced-6.0-on-ubuntu-linux   doesn't need a GUI
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: that whole process can be done via putty
[04:20] <Hwkiller> if he wants to see a cam, use motion
[04:20] <Hwkiller> it also includes motion detection
 cool thanks for information but that don give me the gui active
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: you don't need it
[04:22] <Bomboz819> iknow i dont need gui but i wand one
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: why
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: it makes your server less responsive, less secure and use more resources than it needs to
[04:22] <Bomboz819> because am not very good to command line  am a noob
[04:23] <anti-freeze> Bomboz819, you could go for a window manager if you're picky with performance
 windows dont stop ddos and flood attacks
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: so you are going to put a gui on 'cos you are a noob' but then you will never learn, so you will stay 'a noob'
[04:23] <anti-freeze> Bomboz819, but XFCE is a full desktop environment and complete. You can find it with Xubuntu
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: the gui gains you nothing
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: and your reason for wanting it will actually keep your skills down and you will never learn, its a lose lose
[04:24] <King_Cobra> ahh.. that's better.. no more mint..thank you very much Action
 is it easy to install and start up
[04:24] <anti-freeze> Bomboz819, Oh sorry i wasnt here for the whole convo
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> King_Cobra: run:  sudo updte-grub   too, should make grub lose the config for mint :)
[04:24] <rypervenche> Bomboz819: GUI not good for server, très mauvaise idée.
[04:24] <King_Cobra> will do
 ah oui
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: think about it, just a little
 jais besoin dun interface linux gui
[04:25] <anti-freeze> Ah, server talk. It costs too many resources to run a UI in a server
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: the guide i gave doesn't even need skill, just copying and pasting commands
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> !fr | Bomboz819
[04:25] <DG_> guys is there a mobile IRC chat for android?
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> DG_: i use andchat :)
[04:26] <Bomboz819> am here to bee understand and be help for what am asking can some one help me
[04:26] <anti-freeze> Bomboz819, What server do you want to set up? What distro? I know i guide that might help you
[04:26] <anti-freeze> i know a*
[04:26] <Bomboz819> ubuntu
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: fine, install lxde and use vnc, you are holding yourself back, but hey your choice (no matter how ill educated it may be)
[04:26] <anti-freeze> Bomboz819, 12.04?
[04:27] <Bomboz819> yess anti
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: you will need to install a login manager too and configure autologin
[04:27] <anti-freeze> Bomboz819, http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: yuo will then need to make vnc run before all this happens so you can connect to it
[04:28] <anti-freeze> Bomboz819, This is a guide with ISPConfig 3, but there are more guides on the site, like LAMP servers
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: basically its a lot of heartache, far more work for a noob than just following steb by step guides with commands to copy and paste, but hey 'you're a noob' as you say
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> Bomboz819: you are going to have to run and configure the desktop OS frmo the server OS and configure lightdm and vnc all from cpmmand line so you can get a desktop to 'make life easier', it makes no sense at all
[04:29] <anti-freeze> ActionParsnip, you have to start somewhere man, its better than trying to do things in a UI when you can learn the commands through the guide... if you spend the time to learn the commands ofcourse
[04:29] <DG_> does this channel have a specific port?
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> anti-freeze: but the desktop wil need configging from CLI anyway, requiring just as much work as if you just configure the apps from cli without the desktop
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> DG_: the port for irc is 6667   you then join the channel once you connect
[04:30] <pmp6nl> Would rdiff-backup be a good option for backing up my remote ubuntu server to my ubuntu laptop?  Is there a good gui based program? Thanks
[04:30] <anti-freeze> ActionParsnip, Exactly, i disagree with GUI on a server, but hey, whatever suits people
[04:31] <DG_> im getting host is unresolved?
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> DG_: are you connecting to irc.freenode.net
[04:32] <DG_> would that go in address?
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> DG_: yes
[04:32] <DG_> k
[04:33] <raymond_> Has anyone here used full disk encryption w/ ubuntu on a laptop?
[04:34] <DG_> brb
[04:34] <anti-freeze> raymond_, yep... LVM with encryption
[04:35] <raymond_> anti-freeze, I'm wondering if it's worth using?  Will I notice a big decrease in performance on my core2duo T6600/4GB RAM?
[04:36] <raymond_> My main concern is how it would work out with using a VM.
[04:36] <anti-freeze> raymond_, Ive noticed a slight performance decrease, but are you sure you need encryption? You could always encrypt your home folder if your that paranoid
[04:36] <dandkburt> is it possable to get a tutor for ubuntu
[04:37] <raymond_> anti-freeze, thanks :)  I'll give that a shot
[04:37] <anti-freeze> raymond_, You're welcome, you know where to find me if you need some more help :)
[04:42] <zymaster> Hey quick question anyone know how to install adobe reader firefox plugin? I can install adobe reader itself but not plugin.
[04:42] <dandkburt> is it possable to get a tutor for ubuntu
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> zymaster: for which browser (I'm guessing you mean browser)
[04:43] <zymaster> yeah firefox browser
[04:44] <zymaster> i downloaded file from adobe ran it in terminal as root. Installed in /opt it claimed it installed browser plugin and the file is in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins but the plugin is not showing up in firefox itself
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> zymaster: in about:config   find:   pdfjs.disabled:true
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> pdq: change it to false
[04:45] <darknyss> alt-tab stopped working after updates and a reboot
[04:45] <darknyss> help please? 12.04
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> zymaster: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/firefox-15-released
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> darknyss: install compizconfig-settings-manager   and re-enable the plugin, or enable ring switcher if yuo like pretty
[04:47] <zymaster> ActionParsnip: thanks
[04:47] <darknyss> ActionParsnip, After that, how do I open the manager via terminal?
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> darknyss: ccsm
[04:48] <raido> Ok, my MOTD stated there is Maverick available... do-release-upgrade says no upgrade available, update-manager is set to show LTS only. Im on 10.04.4 and want 12.04.1. Someting is really wonked up here.
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> raido: weird indeed, could use the alternate ISO and upgrade using that. I believe if you boot to the desktop install CD it should be able to upgrade there too
[04:50] <darknyss> ActionParsnip, It's open now. What am I looking for under ccsm?
[04:50] <raido> ActionParsnip: k,thx
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> darknyss: I believe it's called static switcher
[04:51] <darknyss> Kk ty.

[05:06] <marcm> how do I install and remove a package with apt at the same time?
[05:08] <m6d4> marcm: why would you do that?
[05:09] <marcm> m6d4 replace the kernel with the one I want instead of the one apt wants me to install
[05:10] <xangua> you do not want to uninstall the kernel provided from the ubuntu repository marcm
[05:11] <puppy_parade> Is there a way to get sound to work for normal applications while I am using a midi device with JACK?
[05:11] <marcm> xangua I am working on Xen templates. I install Ubuntu in a KVM VM, then I'm converting it to Xen. I just want to replace the kernel with another kernel from Ubuntu repository. Generic -> Virtual
[05:12] <odisus> hello
[05:13] <odisus> I was wondering if its possible to make shortcuts to programs from the dash? I looked all over online and it told me to install ubuntu tweak but it doesnt do the trick
[05:13] <odisus> maybe im just doing it wrong..
[05:15] <odisus> anyone on?
[05:19] <ebs512> I am having the most difficult time installing themes or finding full themes for ubuntu 12.04 lts
[05:19] <odisus> I just installed ubuntu 12.04
[05:19] <odisus> Not sure how themes work either
[05:19] <odisus>  I did hear that ubuntu tweak does fix some issues
[05:20] <odisus> http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> odisus: ubuntu tweak is pretty cool
[05:20] <odisus> I'm trying to find a way to make desktop shortcuts from the dash...
[05:20] <ebs512> odisus it says * For Ubuntu 11.04 and before: old versions
[05:21] <odisus> D=
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> odisus: if you run:  nautilus /usr/share/applications      you can copy and paste the items to the desktop
[05:21] <odisus> Thank you mister ActionParsnip
[05:22] <odisus> I find it kinda silly how u are suspose to use terminal for something that is suspose to be simple like dragging an icon to a screen
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> odisus: ideally it would have a right click, Its just one way I know it will work
[05:22] <odisus> yea
[05:22] <ebs512> ActionParsnip how do I make a launcher shortcut with root permissions so I can just click the icon and it will let me edit files in the file system
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> ebs512: in the exec line, prefix the command with 'gksudo'
[05:25] <odisus> Oooo Na'vi vs IG in dota 2 right now *grabs popcorn*
[05:28] <Guddu> Has anyone used Static IP for their Ubuntu Machine? If you could help me configuring this please.
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: you can use network manager
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: set the interface to manual and you can specify ip, subnet and dns there
[05:29] <wolfric> Guddu: man interfaces
[05:29] <wolfric> there's an example in there. the file is in /etc/network/interfaces
[05:30] <Guddu> Thanks ActionParsnip wolfric
[05:30] <wolfric> just place it below whatever's there already
[05:32] <odisus> I just recently installed ubuntu, any recommendations to what I should install/set up
[05:32] <wolfric> Guddu: http://pastebin.com/EaPsDZL8 here's a quick example
[05:32] <Guddu> ActionParsnip wolfric in network Manager GUI i see a option 'Shared to Other Computers'....What would that mean?
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: no, right click the icon in the panel and select 'edit connections'
[05:33] <Guddu> Thanks wolfric I will try that now
[05:33] <lotuspsychje> ActionParsnip: i got rid of the square mouse pointer with nomodeset, but compiz is completly unworkable, no wobbly windows, laucher icon size big again etc..its all laggy
[05:33] <Guddu> ActionParsnip:  What panel? I am on Unity and I am finding it difficult to find anything easily
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: top panel, on the right
[05:34] <linocisco> hi all, I have Canon LJ3050 USB printer, I want to make it network printer and share it for windows client. I want to know how to. I also want to know if I need to make my windows machine as workgroup or join linux domain
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> linocisco: can ubuntu print to it ok?
[05:35] <Guddu> ActionParsnip:  Right...There are multiple methods listed under IPV4 Settings....One of them is shared to other computers...what does that mean?
[05:35] <wolfric> Guddu: http://www.multimediaboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/networkmanagerapplet.png
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: under ipv4 settings, set the connection to manual and you can set the IP
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: http://wiki.dave.eu/index.php/File:DVDK_Ubuntu_Network_Configuration_3.png
[05:36] <wolfric> Guddu: exactly what it sounds like. Especially useful if you had internet from say, dialup or wifi
[05:36] <wolfric> and you wanted to share it with the local network
[05:37] <lotuspsychje> is it normal for nomodeset to disable compiz?
[05:38] <Guddu> wolfric:  If i configure a Static IP with the values as in http://pastebin.com/EaPsDZL8 then I hope I will not lose internet connectivity?
[05:38] <DG_> hi :)
[05:38] <wolfric> Guddu: well obviously you need to change your ips and gateway
[05:38] <wolfric> Guddu: wait, why are you setting a static ip?
[05:39] <wolfric> did someone tell you you needed a static ip for your internet?
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: you can run:  echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail      to define DNS :)
[05:39] <wolfric> ActionParsnip: left out / before etc
[05:40] <Guddu> wolfric:  Basically my requirement is to have a UBUNTU PC installed at a client's site...The PC should have internet also and the PC runs apache which should be accessible by other users on the network. Maximum of 2 users only...So i basically wanted the IP not to change with every restart so that the users can use the Same URL everyday to launch my WEB Application
[05:40] <Guddu> ;)
[05:40] <Guest31459> I am a fresh hatched newbie with ubuntu.  Anyone know of any good resources to learn about using the terminal
[05:40] <hateball> linocisco: this is a good start https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu
[05:40] <Guddu> ActionParsnip:  That's gooogle DNS :-)
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> !bash | Guest31459
[05:40] <hateball> linocisco: note that sharing to windows usually is a pain, but your mileage may wary
[05:40] <wolfric> Guddu: it is indeed
[05:41] <wolfric> Guddu: stick with network manager not with what i told you
[05:41] <Guest31459> Thanks lotus i am checking that out now
[05:42] <lotuspsychje> np
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: true
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: it's easy to remember
[05:43] <Guddu> wolfric:  Ok....I would need some help in finding out my parameters for Subnet Mask and gateway etc ... My current settings are as in image at http://imgur.com/kgaJO
[05:44] <Guddu> ActionParsnip:  ^ Your help please
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: isn't that your ISP's connection, or do you have the same IP each tuime?
[05:45] <Guddu> ActionParsnip:  Yes. It is my ISP. But IP would change each time I am sure.
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: then you want to use  DHCP for that interface
[05:46] <Guddu> ActionParsnip:  With DHCP won't my IP change after restart?
[05:47] <wolfric> Guddu: you should ask your isp about this
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: yes but your connection doesn't have a static IP
[05:47] <wolfric> Guddu: as far as i know, it should be fine technically speaking as the dhcp server should see what ips are taken but you may end up just collding with an ip
[05:48] <wolfric> say if your connection goes down, that ip will be given away
[05:48] <Guddu> wolfric:  ISP will not really help me. Even less in this part of the world.
[05:48] <wolfric> when your connection comes back, you may cause disruption for both you and the person previously with the ip
[05:48] <wolfric> Guddu: that's probably because they haven't given you a static ip so you shouldn't be using one
[05:48] <bbk> how to create startup disk(cd) from ubuntu terminal?
[05:48] <Guddu> wolfric:  Is there any other way to guarantee that the WEB App URL does not change so that users can alway access my Web Application using the same URL everytime?
[05:49] <smw> bbk, you want to make an ubuntu install disk?
[05:49] <wolfric> Guddu: dyndns
[05:49] <smw> bbk, do you have a copy of the iso?
[05:49] <Guddu> I am using apache to render
[05:49] <bbk> yes
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> bbk: you can use wodim in terminal to burn CD in terminal
[05:49] <Guddu> dyndns..Thanks.... looking up what it is.
[05:49] <smw> bbk, sudo cdrecord -v the.iso
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: or no-ip
[05:49] <smw> ActionParsnip, is wodim better than cdrecord?
[05:49] <wolfric> Guddu: dynamic dns, you have a client sitting on your computer and it registers you a free dns (or you can pay for a better one) that updates to your current ip when your ip changes
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: both services have a client app to update the IP with th service so if your IP does change the service gets notified
[05:50] <wolfric> so you use something like guddu.dyndns.info
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> smw: its different, not necessarily better, depends what features you need
[05:50] <ebs512> ActionParsnip how do I get this theme, there isn't a download for it http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/ubuntu-12.04?before=1343608273
[05:51] <smw> ActionParsnip, seems to be based on cdrecord
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> smw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning#Burning_a_CD_or_DVD_using_Command_Line_tools
[05:51] <wolfric> Guddu: i'm very interested to know what kind of connection you have that allows a client running ubuntu desktop with a 1gbps connection to get a public ip...
[05:51] <Guddu> wolfric:  Instead of going through internet, can i somehow create a LAN instead? So that network latency can be avoided?
[05:52] <wolfric> Guddu: do you have a lan?
[05:52] <Guddu> wolfric:  I am using VTR
[05:52] <Guddu> www.vtr.cl is the service provider
[05:52] <Guddu> wolfric:  Thats 1000 Mb/s ...I really don'y know how it arrived at that value though
[05:53] <wolfric> oh right, you have a router and the router just hands out public ips then yeah?
[05:53] <Guddu> speedtest.net shows 18Mbps Download
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> ebs512: the icon theme is the default gnome one (not humanity) with a glossy wallpaper and a dock, as well as gnome-panel instead of Unity
[05:53] <wolfric> no 1000Mbps is the local connection to the router/switch
[05:53] <Guddu> wolfric:  Yes. a Modem provided by ISP...that modem allows upto 4 PCs to be connected using Wi-Fi and 4 Sockets for Ethernet Cable Out
[05:53] <ebs512> I can do all of that on Ubuntu 12.04?
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> ebs512: could be avant-window-navigator times 2
[05:53] <wolfric> does it not do nat no?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> ebs512: sure. I'd start with a base of XFCE and build up
[05:54] <Guddu> wolfric:  nat no? Was that for me?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> ebs512: the thing on the right is just conky, there are lots of configs for that
[05:55] <ebs512> I just want a digital effect like that for a theme
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> ebs512: how do you mean? If you ask the guy for the wallpaper you'll probably have a desktop you like as unity will theme to the wallpaper
[05:56] <wolfric> GabrieleV: yeah
[05:56] <wolfric> woops
[05:56] <wolfric> Guddu: the dyndns will still work on the local lan. The address is the only thing that will go over the internet
[05:56] <ebs512> what is XFCE?
[05:57] <wolfric> Guddu: if you're getting public ips, i'd make sure you're firewalled btw
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> ebs512: a different desktop to the default gnome
[05:58] <ebs512> It says I have Unity2D and Unity2D installed
[05:58] <ebs512> Unity2D Panel*
[05:58] <Guddu> wolfric:  You mean if i use dyn-dns then the Client PCs will resolve the Server IP Address through internet only once and then all the communication will happpen locally and not over internet?
[05:59] <wolfric> Guddu: yeah
[05:59] <Guddu> wolfric:  dyndns is a paid service. Is there a free solution for my requirement?
[05:59] <wolfric> dyndns has a free solution
[06:00] <wolfric> huh apparently not
[06:01] <mindstorm> t doesn't anymore?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> noip is free, there is also noip2 which you can install on ubuntu to update the IP with
[06:01] <wolfric> Guddu: http://www.no-ip.com/personal/
[06:01] <wolfric> i think if you originally had one it's free or the free setting is hidden
[06:01] <wolfric> i only a day or two ago got a notice about my free one
[06:02] <Guddu> wolfric:  So that means that the users willl access the no-ip hostname .....? One more question...Iif my machine's IP changes then how long will it take for no-ip hostname to start pointing to new IP?
[06:02] <wolfric> few seconds?
[06:02] <ebs512> oh okay now I know what you are talking about ActionParsnip, which one would you say has the cpu displays on the right and a windows style taskbar on the bottom?
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> ebs512: conky
[06:02] <somsip> Guddu: a few seconds, but then you have propagation to all nameservers. Can take a while but not sure if no-ip are quick or slow
[06:03] <wolfric> Guddu: http://support.no-ip.com/customer/portal/articles/351852-how-often-are-monitoring-notifications-sent-out-when-a-service-goes-down-
[06:03] <wolfric> woops wait no that's not it
[06:03] <wolfric> you'll have ot dig into the faq a bit for yourself to find out but not long really
[06:04] <ebs512> is it available in the ubuntu software?
[06:04] <wolfric> ebs512: noip?
[06:05] <ebs512> noip not available

[06:15] <celthunder> ebs512: enter a correct user / pass?

[06:15] <ebs512> correct, I dontknow how to access it
[06:15] <wolfric> ebs512: have you created an account?
[06:15] <ebs512> yes I just did
[06:16] <ebs512> it was telling me couldnt find a cfg file
[06:16] <Guddu> wolfric:  If the internet connectivity is lost the my Client PCs will not be able to connect to Ubuntu server using hostname right?
[06:16] <ebs512> * Creating a read-write copy of the noip2 configuration...cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/noip2/noip2.conf': No such file or directory
[06:17] <wolfric> ebs512: how did you install it again?
[06:17] <ebs512> used the command ActionParsnip gave me
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> spidernik84: don't use that, use the bold text with: add-apt-repository

[06:20] <s_ruan> hello
[06:21] <blz> !hello | s_ruan
[06:21] <s_ruan> say to me "helle"?
[06:21] <ebs512> blah I swear I typed my password and username correctly however it is telling me I haven't is there any way to reset them?
[06:22] <Guddu> wolfric:  If i use no-ip and If the internet connectivity is lost then my Client PCs will not be able to connect to Ubuntu server using hostname. Is that right?
[06:22] <wolfric> Guddu: no the hostname should update that's the whole point
[06:23] <wolfric> if your connectivity is lost however and stays lost, everything should work fine for a while
[06:23] <wolfric> depending on the dhcp lease time of the router and whether the client has looked it up before
[06:23] <ebs512> wolfric is there a way to reset the username and password for no-ip2 because it keeps telling me I am entering it wrong
[06:23] <wolfric> ebs512: check the website
[06:24] <Guddu> wolfric:  Is there a way i can take internet out of the equation and just go via a local router? Internet connectvity is not very stable here :)
[06:24] <Guddu> I am consufed about the configuration
[06:24] <wolfric> Guddu: not unless you run nat
[06:24] <wolfric> nat gives you private ips on your local network
[06:25] <wolfric> Guddu: forgive me if i'm wrong, but you don't sound like you'd be confident changing that on the router
[06:25] <wolfric> if you screw up, you could disconnect yourself from the internet. in fact, intially you WILL be disconnected
[06:26] <Guddu> wolfric:  My only requirement to have internet is to be able to send some emails via SMTP using a Python script to some predefined emails. I can make a attempt to change stuff on router with some guidance and reading. This would be my first time doing it though.
[06:26] <wolfric> do you know what nat is?
[06:26] <wolfric> also, can you afford a home router? (an additional one)
[06:27] <Guddu> wolfric:  Buying a home router is ok....
[06:27] <Guddu> NAT..I just know the full form
[06:27] <wolfric> i've no idea what sort of router you currently have, but if it can do nat instead, great. if it can't a generic home router attached to it and then everyone connects to it would do the trick
[06:27] <tejpalsingh> hi
[06:28] <blackshirt> hi tejpalsingh
[06:28] <tejpalsingh> hi
[06:28] <wolfric> Guddu: basically instead of everyone getting a public ip, everyone gets a private ip on the local network and when you try connect to the internet, it translates on the fly the source and destination to make it look like all connections are coming from your public ip
[06:28] <wolfric> but it means if the internet goes, you still have your internal ips and they work. they can also be static to your hearts content
[06:28] <Guddu> wolfric:  That's exactly what i need :)
[06:29] <Guddu> wolfric:  The home router sits between the PC and the ISP Provided modem?
[06:29] <wolfric> well between everyone
[06:30] <wolfric> Guddu: you'd need everyone to connect to the home pc instead of the isp provided modem
[06:30] <BentFranklin> Want to run a job at startup.  Edit rc.local or use @reboot in crontab?
[06:30] <wolfric> to the home router*
[06:30] <Guddu> wolfric:  Sounds ok
[06:31] <wolfric> so you'd have <isp> --- <modem> --- <home router> --everyone on your local network
[06:31] <ebs512> it tells me I have no hosts available for my user so how do I create some?
[06:31] <wolfric> which if they're using wifi, would need to use the home router's wifi
[06:31] <Guddu> Ok
[06:31] <wolfric> ebs512: look on the website
[06:32] <wolfric> Guddu: if there's a store that has them near by, just ask if they have a wan port which is easiest
[06:32] <Guddu> wolfric:  In this setup, at what all places will i have to do manual configuration of IPs or things of that sort?
[06:32] <ebs512> well that's how I add them, how do I know which ones to add?
[06:32] <Myke974_> ubuntu server 12.04 => need help with microdia driver <= /microdia/sn9c20x-debugfs.c:183:12: error this module undeclared here (not in function)
[06:32] <wolfric> you plug an ethernet cable from the modem into the router,
[06:32] <Guddu> Ok
[06:33] <wolfric> Guddu: well if you go to the home router's config page (just put its private ip into a browser), it'll normally have a dhcp page with a predefined range
[06:33] <wolfric> that range will usually not fit the whole range of the subnet
[06:33] <Guddu> wolfric:  Ok....
[06:33] <wolfric> so for instance, you may have any ip from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> but dhcp only gives out the ranges of <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:33] <Guddu> ok
[06:33] <wolfric> so just pick an ip outside of that range
[06:34] <fragmachine> hello?
[06:34] <ebs512> I'm not quite sure why I need no-ip to change desktops?
[06:34] <wolfric> ebs512: change desktops?
[06:34] <fragmachine> hey where is the system menu in 12.04?
[06:34] <wolfric> ebs512: you do realise we were suggesting Guddu use noip not you but since you were interested we just let you know the details
[06:35] <wolfric> fragmachine: gnome?
[06:35] <ebs512> oh lmao sorry about the confusion on my behalf, didn't realize lol
[06:35] <fragmachine> yes I think so, how do I check?
[06:36] <wolfric> fragmachine:  try applications menu and under the "other" heading
[06:36] <fragmachine> I don't have an applications menu
[06:36] <wolfric> fragmachine: did you previously have a systems menu..?
[06:37] <lauratika> does any one knows how to set autovpn?
[06:37] <fragmachine> wolfric: no I just installed ubuntu, I remember it being there on 11
[06:38] <wolfric> fragmachine: not here any more, try click the top right part of the screen
[06:38] <wolfric> the power button
[06:38] <wolfric> should be a settings bit there
[06:38] <wolfric> going by memory, don't use unity so i may be a little off
[06:38] <fragmachine> yea there is a icon there that lets me go to system settings
[06:38] <wolfric> the "applications places system" menu was a different desktop enviroment called gnome. The default has now switched to unity
[06:39] <wolfric> fragmachine: that what you were looking for?
[06:39] <fragmachine> oh ok
[06:39] <fragmachine> wolfric: no I wanted the old gnome bar
[06:39] <fragmachine> with applications and system etc
[06:41] <wolfric> fragmachine: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-classic-gnome-desktop-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise.html
[06:42] <ebs512> wolfric sorry to be a bother, I want to theme my ubuntu similar to this http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/ubuntu-12.04?before=1343608273 but not exactly, any idea how I can go about doing this, I think ActionParsnip told me conky or XFCE?
[06:42] <fragmachine> thanks wolfric I'll check it out
[06:44] <ix_> hello, what is the google/ubuntu start page?
[06:45] <ix_> I mean, what's the address?
[06:45] <Guddu> wolfric:  why do people prefer classic genome desktop? In comparson to Unity?
[06:46] <Meris> ebs512: Well, the dock is almost certainly docky, The widgets could be simulated with screenlets. The Unity bar will be quite hard to theme though. The window list above can probably be had through some Compiz-mod.
[06:47] <Meris> ebs512: conky is also a possibility instead of screenlets, it will fill the same functionality, that of of on-screen widgets.
[06:47] <ebs512> Meris, are all these modifications available through the ubuntu software center or the synaptic package manage?
[06:48] <s_ruan> hello
[06:48] <ebs512> manager*
[06:48] <Meris> ebs512: I don' t really know, I'm not that into theming myself, preferring a nonintrusive desktop environment like awesome, or more traditional: LXDE.
[06:50] <Meris> ebs512: Synaptic works much better if you want to find obscure programs. If they are not in the usual repos, you have a good chance of finding them as a ppa.
[06:50] <wolfric> ebs512: that looks like gnome 3 to me
[06:51] <wolfric> http://www.filiwiese.com/installing-gnome-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
[06:51] <Meris> wolfram, the layout looks like Gnome3, but the bar on the left looks a bit like the Unity bar.
[06:51] <wolfric> Meris: it's not
[06:51] <Meris> wolfric^
[06:53] <wolfric> ebs512: just read what it says under the post and google "ubuntu 12.04 install " and whatevr it is
[06:53] <Meris> wolfram, I should have seen it, the Gnome footprint was a dead giveaway.
[06:53] <starbuck33> hi there, i just copy pasted a text and after that another text... but i made a mistake and now the first text is lost and since i already copied another text after that it isnt in the clipboard anymore, or is it anywhere? it would be very important for me to retrieve the first text somehow
[06:53] <GeekAdmin> Is running rkhunter & chkrootkit on a Desktop PC running Ubuntu 12.04 overboard or unnecessary?  There are no ports being forwarded and behind a firewall protected router..
[06:53] <ikonia> GeekAdmin: a total waste of time
[06:53] <wolfric> GeekAdmin: not at all
[06:54] <GeekAdmin> lol
[06:54] <wolfric> lol
[06:54] <GeekAdmin> so it is worth while?
[06:54] <wolfric> sure no harm
[06:54] <ikonia> no, a total waste of time and effort
[06:54] <GeekAdmin> haha k thanks
[06:54] <wolfric> i disagree
[06:54] <ikonia> and it will cause you more problems as you'll be concerned by the results
[06:54] <GeekAdmin> haha
[06:54] <GeekAdmin> yea I've noticed a lot of false positives with rkhunter especially
[06:55] <wolfric> run it as a cronjob when you're not doing anything
[06:55] <GeekAdmin> wolfric:  I probably will just for fun
[06:55] <ikonia> GeekAdmin: exactly, these are not valid tools to just run randomly
[06:55] <ikonia> GeekAdmin: you will get no benifit and cause your self concern.
[06:55] <wolfric> starbuck33: no sorry it's gone unless it was in something like libreoffice
[06:55] <ikonia> running a program to give you false positives is fun.....
[06:55] <ikonia> whatever
[06:55] <GeekAdmin> LOL
[06:56] <starbuck33> wolfric: no, just some text in gedit
[06:56] <wolfric> GeekAdmin: you're more likely to get hit with a browser/plugin exploit than through network services if it's a desktop
[06:56] <ikonia> and those tools will not detect it
[06:56] <GeekAdmin> oh I see
[06:56] <wolfric> starbuck33: then no, it's gone,
[06:56] <ikonia> so again - they are pointless
[06:57] <GeekAdmin> Is there anyway to detect a browser plugin exploit?
[06:57] <wolfric> ...???
[06:57] <wolfric> how the hell did you come to that conclusion by what i said
[06:57] <ikonia> GeekAdmin: just apply common sense to how you use the PC and you'll be fine
[06:57] <wolfric> exploits != rootkits
[06:57] <wolfric> ikonia: epic fail
[06:57] <ikonia> I didn't say they would, I siad those tools will not detect them....which they won't
[06:57] <skleya> s+
[06:58] <wolfric> that was true 10-15 hours ago perhaps
[06:58] <ikonia> 10-15 hours ago ? what ?
[06:58] <wolfric> you don't get infected now by running some .exe attachment
[06:58] <wolfric> 10-15 years sorry
[06:58] <Meris> wolfram, true, but exploits *can* lead to the installation of root kits after they have escalated permissions.
[06:58] <ikonia> what ????
[06:58] <wolfric> take the recent java vulnerability
[06:58] <ikonia> what are you talking about exe files
[06:58] <ikonia> this is linux
[06:58] <lotuspsychje> i fixxed a corrupt square mouse pointer on boot by adding 'nomodeset' to grub, but compiz disables and unworkable..howto fix this?
[06:58] <GeekAdmin> you can run exe in Linux :-p
[06:58] <GeekAdmin> with wine :-)
[06:58] <ikonia> no you can't
[06:58] <ikonia> you run them in wine
[06:58] <ikonia> that's not linux
[06:58] <wolfric> all you have to do is open a page that has a malicious plugin in it and you're owned
[06:59] <ikonia> it's an abstraction layer, that won't touch the OS
[06:59] <Meris> ikonia, linux is also vulnerable to the Java security leak, if you have the leaky version installed.
[06:59] <ikonia> utter nonsense
[06:59] <wolfric> ...
[06:59] <ikonia> Meris: yes, java is a risk
[06:59] <GeekAdmin> wait wine doesnt touch the OS?
[07:00] <ikonia> GeekAdmin: do whatever makes you feel happy and secure, if it's a wate of time and effort or not you don't seem bothered, so do whatever makes you feel happy.
[07:01] <itspriyank> does ubuntu 12.04 ships with Open JDk
[07:01] <ikonia> no
[07:01] <Meris> GeekAdmin: wine runs under normal user rights, so it can only affect the files writable by the user. You *could* run wine as root, but that would be utterly silly.
[07:01] <ikonia> java is not installed by default
[07:01] <wolfric> kind of bad advice also. kind of like saying "run updates or not" or "firwall or not" whatever makes you happy
[07:02] <lotuspsychje> howto fix this bug plz? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/556782
[07:02] <wolfric> ikonia: does that mean nobody has it?
[07:02] <itspriyank> easiest way of installing it then?
[07:02] <ikonia> wolfric: not running stupid rootkit scanneers, is nothing like saying "don't apply updates"
[07:02] <wolfric> my mistake, didn't see itspriyank question
[07:02] <Meris> ikonia, I do Java development, so I have JDK 7 installed.
[07:02] <ikonia> Meris: what ? I didn't ask anything about your java setup
[07:03] <Meris> ikonia, merely chiming in with wolfric about the question if it means that nobody has it.
[07:03] <itspriyank> Meris: how did you installed it?
[07:03] <wolfric> i'm not sure what you're missing here... security vulnerablities allow you to install malware, rkhunter and the likes can track down rootkits that may be installed from exploiting such vulnerablities so YES it is useful to run it
[07:04] <ikonia> I think there was confusion as I was redponing to itspriyank question of if ubuntu shipped with java
[07:04] <Meris> itspriyank: simply by downloading the appropriate package from java.com
[07:04] <ikonia> wolfric: they are based on signature files that are not updated on a regular basis, so provide more false positives and miss more genuine exploits than any value they add
[07:04] <ikonia> hence waste of time
[07:04] <ikonia> more so on distros like ubuntu that change every 6 months
[07:05] <gordonjcp> ikonia: right, but many of the basic heuristics hold up
[07:05] <lotuspsychje> guys..offtopic?
[07:05] <gordonjcp> ikonia: looking for a directory somewhere called "..." with executables in it
[07:05] <gordonjcp> lotuspsychje: correct
[07:05] <Meris> lotuspsychje: true...
[07:05] <wolfric> ikonia: you could say the same about any anti virus really
[07:06] <itspriyank> Meris: Should I follow this method : http://askubuntu.com/questions/55848/how-do-i-install-oracle-java-jdk-7 ?
[07:06] <ikonia> wolfric: depends on the virus softare, but on linux, I do say the same...it's pointless
[07:06] <Meris> brb. Got called to breakfast :-)
[07:06] <ikonia> but this should continue in #ubuntu-offtopic as lotuspsychje rightly pointed out
[07:06] <wolfric> plus don't underestimate the amount of malicious payloads that don't even make an effort to be different than the usual
[07:08] <wolfric> anyway, we shall leave it on, i think it's useful, you don't think it is, I think running a cronjob and diffing the results would definitely give you a heads up if something was a miss GeekAdmin
[07:08] <GeekAdmin> wolfric:  thanks so much for your opinion in this. That goes for everyone
[07:09] <gordonjcp> wolfric: antivirus software *is* pointless...
[07:10] <lotuspsychje> is it normal for 'nomodeset' to disable compiz features?
[07:15] <linocisco> hi all, I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190?action=show&redirect=HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters%2FCanonPrinters%2FLBP3010 to installl my LBP3050 on ubuntu. but Mine is ubuntu-server, could anyone advice me how to?
[07:16] <ikonia> linocisco: the process should be the same
[07:16] <linocisco> ikonia, there is no System->Administration->Printing in ubuntu server
[07:17] <ikonia> linocisco: that shouldn't stop you doing the actual install
[07:18] <linocisco> ikonia, how can I find System->Administration->Printing in ubuntu server?
[07:21] <x_> anyone know how to get gpu utilization to show under nvidia-smi?
[07:21] <hateball> linocisco: you can administer CUPS by browsing to http://machine.ip:631
[07:22] <hateball> linocisco: if you have another machine on the network handy, otherwise it's a bit more... annoying
[07:22] <linocisco> thanks
[07:22] <linocisco> hateball, thanks

[07:30] <Zorlin> so I have a 64-bit system running 64-bit ubuntu server
[07:30] <Zorlin> I'm trying to run Xen VMs under it
[07:31] <Zorlin> when I boot it into dom0 mode, my RAM basically halves
[07:31] <Zorlin> I've got 8GB, it cuts down to around 3-3.5GB
[07:31] <Zorlin> any ideas as to what I can do? cutting dom0 to 512MB of RAM didn't help
[07:31] <ikonia> look at what process is taking the ram
[07:40] <Zorlin> ikonia: no process is taking the RAM as far as I can tell
[07:40] <Zorlin> ikonia: "free" says *total* RAM is anywhere from 512MB to 1GB for dom0 depending on config
[07:40] <Zorlin> (which doesn't include RAM available to the Xen hypervisor)
[07:40] <Zorlin> the hypervisor reports ~3GB as being available
[07:41] <Zorlin> (including dom0)
[07:42] <mindbender1> how can I find the maintainers of ubuntu module like modem?
[07:46] <linocisco> found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/PrinterSharing is outdated
[07:46] <linocisco> which one is updated?
[07:47] <xmen> hola
[07:49] <Samizdat> I'm trying to install a wifi driver and getting this message: make -C /lib/modules/3.5.0-030500-generic/build M=/home/gk/Desktop/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011 modules make: *** /lib/modules/3.5.0-030500-generic/build: No such file or directory.  Stop. make: *** [all] Error 2
[07:50] <Samizdat> Is there anything to be done?
[07:51] <crimsonmane> how are you installing it?
[07:51] <Samizdat> With "sudo make"
[07:51] <mindbender1> Samizdat: check if you have a dir /lib/modules
[07:52] <Samizdat> I do.
[07:52] <crimsonmane> Samizdat: why dont you look into ndiswrapper - it's specifically for installing wifi drivers
[07:52] <Samizdat> What is it?
[07:53] <Samizdat> Ah, will try it out.
[07:56] <revenge2> ciao

[07:57] <Samizdat> Seems to be the same issue.
[07:58] <crimsonmane> idunno if you're using the tool correctly
[07:58] <Samizdat> I dl'd it, switched to its location, ran "make".
[07:58] <crimsonmane> no
[07:59] <crimsonmane> it's a program. you run it, browse to the driver file, and click Go
[08:00] <Samizdat> Oh, I was following these instructions: http://www.bgevolution.com/blog/ndiswrapper-ubuntu-wifi-in-4-easy-steps/
[08:01] <crimsonmane> use your software manager to get ndiswrapper
[08:10] <Samizdat> I don't think I want to use ndiswrapper.  There is a linux driver released.
[08:10] <Samizdat> It forces a windows' driver to work.

[08:45] <fleurtherock> buongiorno a tutti
[08:49] <shaladore> any one can tell me what i can do to manage my network connection in ubuntu server 12.04.1
[08:50] <Auzy> shaladore, https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/index.html
[08:50] <shaladore> thank you Auzy
[08:51] <Auzy> and generally, I use Shorewall as my firewall shaladore
[08:51] <shaladore> I thought about that is that a ppa or a package from ubuntu?
[08:51] <Auzy> shorewall is what I'm familiar with, is easyish to configure (you can just grab the example), and its iptables anyway
[08:51] <Samizdat> Does anyone know how to fix this: make -C /lib/modules/3.5.0-030500-generic/build M=/home/gk/Desktop/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011 modules make: *** /lib/modules/3.5.0-030500-generic/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[08:51] <Auzy> Dunno.. I run Debian on my server.. should be a package though
[08:52] <shaladore> thanks I will check into that as well.. appreciate it! ;-)
[08:52] <Auzy> Samizdat, Could be anything.. apt-get install build-essential?
[08:52] <Samizdat> Already got that.
[08:53] <Auzy> More info would probably be needed..Could pastebin the full thing..
[08:53] <Auzy> Also, ensure you have kernel headers installed..
[08:54] <Samizdat> I believe I do.  How could I tell for certain?
[08:54] <Samizdat> And that's basically the whole thing.
[08:55] <Auzy> Check in software center? Could be a lot of things.. Maybe best to ask in the forum for that module..
[08:55] <Samizdat> http://pastebin.com/cchfvUR7
[08:56] <Auzy> dunno.. make sure you have kernel source installed, but, maybe you need to ./configure
[08:57] <luftikuss> Why does my Ubuntu 12.04.1 not produce any sound in the video »Autohide Top Bar for GNOME Shell« of http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/gnome-shell-autohide-top-bar-for-gnome.html? aplay works all right and Banshee also.
[08:58] <Auzy> Samizdat, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1944493 might help..
[08:58] <manners13> hey guys
[08:58] <manners13> i have a usb drive plugged into a netbook with ubuntu on sharing files via samba
[08:59] <manners13> yesterday i done the precise upgrade and after i could not get into 1 directory on the drive
[08:59] <manners13> or sorry i could but it displayed as empty
[08:59] <luftikuss> !Enter | manners13
[09:00] <manners13> i removed the drive from my loft and plugged into my windows 7 machine, iv now managed to move all the videos into another folder so they can be seen from my machine again however i still cant delete the original folder
[09:00] <nandhu> hi how to add a short cut key in metacity .. eg: i need to add ctrl+alt+o to open a library office
[09:00] <timfrost> Samizdat: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic - will ensure that headers for the current installed kernel will be available
[09:01] <manners13> iv tried using the command sudo rm -r /media/Elements/Childrens/ but it says the directory does not exist however when i ls i can see it there
[09:02] <Samizdat> Will try.
[09:02] <Samizdat> Thanks all.

[09:05] <jake443> what is the extended partition used for ?
[09:06] <Atlantic777> jake443: it's used when you want/need more thatn 4 partitions.
[09:06] <Atlantic777> When you make a extended partition, you can make 16 logic partitions in it.
[09:06] <timfrost> manners13: check for non-printing characters such as spaces in the directory name with ' ls -b /media/Elements/', which will print the escape codes for them
[09:06] <jake443> i don't understand it
[09:06] <jake443> i have 1 partition and i want all spaces in that 1 partition
[09:07] <jake443> i have parimary parition then extend then swap parition
[09:07] <Atlantic777> jake443: there are primary and logic partitions. In partition table there's place for only 4 partitions (size of them doesn't matter, just count). If you make a extended partition (which counts as primary), you then make logic partitions in it.
[09:07] <jake443> so basiclly i used a single parition
[09:07] <jake443> what happens if i remove it ?
[09:08] <Atlantic777> you lose logic partitions in it, together with data
[09:08] <jake443> it's a 500MB extend partition
[09:08] <jake443> i don't want it
[09:08] <jake443> nothing in it
[09:08] <Atlantic777> what "df" tells you? can you paste it?
[09:08] <tsimpson> jake443: that likely is where your swap partition is, which would be taking up those 500MB
[09:08] <jake443> i never used it once.. ubuntu created extended parition
[09:08] <jake443> i have 1 logical parimiary parition for the OS only
[09:09] <Atlantic777> logical primary partitions? what would that be? :D
[09:09] <jake443> tsimpson yes my man.. i have 500MB extended and 500MB swap
[09:09] <jake443> altantic i am a windows user
[09:09] <jake443> you either help me or i'm going back
[09:09] <tsimpson> jake443: threats like that get you nowhere fast
[09:10] <jake443> i DON'T want extended parition because i use only 1 parition on this PC
[09:10] <Atlantic777> jake443: it's the same on the windows. Open terminal and write "df". Copy output of that command on paste.ubuntu.com
[09:10] <tsimpson> the swap partition is actually in the same disk space as the extended partition, it's just saying that you only have the swap on there
[09:10] <jake443> and i will never parition this space because the space is little .. not much
[09:10] <gordonjcp> jake443: in Linux, you use multiple partitions
[09:10] <jake443> ok i don't want extended.. what happens if i remove it ?
[09:10] <tsimpson> jake443: you do have a partition there, the swap partition
[09:10] <ikonia> jake443: why don't you want extended ?
[09:10] <gordonjcp> jake443: then you only get to have four partitions
[09:10] <ikonia> jake443: what's the problem with using an extended partition ?
[09:10] <jake443> i don't want swap too
[09:10] <jake443> i have it disable it
[09:11] <tsimpson> jake443: why don't you want swap?
[09:11] <gordonjcp> jake443: that's not a good idea
[09:11] <jake443> but partition is not removed
[09:11] <jake443> i don't care!! i run 1 program on it all the time
[09:11] <gordonjcp> jake443: are you using something like an SD card?
[09:11] <jake443> ONE Program
[09:11] <jake443> yeah limited time
[09:11] <tsimpson> you are always running more than one
[09:11] <jake443> services yeah but only 1 program running
[09:12] <ikonia> jake443: is there a reason you don't want to use an extended partition ?
[09:12] <Atlantic777> extended partition is just place *in which* you can put other partitions. If you remote the place, you lose partitions too. Rremoving swap partition can be fixed with swap file or with creating new partition, if it is swap in extended.
[09:12] <jake443> ikonia to recover that lost space
[09:12] <gordonjcp> jake443: okay, stop a minute; things are very different in Linux from Windows
[09:12] <jake443> i want to resize the swap from 500MB to 100MB
[09:12] <jake443> and remove extended
[09:12] <ikonia> jake443: the space isn't lost, it's in the extended partition.
[09:12] <tsimpson> if you desperately want to claim back those 500MB, then you should repartition
[09:12] <Atlantic777> but it's not lost
[09:12] <ikonia> ok, I'll back away as I don't think I understand.
[09:12] <gordonjcp> jake443: you should have as much swap as you have RAM
[09:12] <Atlantic777> at least as much
[09:12] <jake443> o god
[09:13] <gordonjcp> jake443: stop a minute, what exactly are you trying to do?
[09:13] <gordonjcp> jake443: explain it from the beginning
[09:13] <jake443> i have 6GB partition. IT SAYS 500GB extened and 500 swap
[09:14] <nibbler_> gordonjcp, one should have as much swap as he needs, any "factor X on RAM" rules are nonsens... if i was living fine with 4GB RAM and hardly every used my swap, why would i upgrade to 8GB swap if i upgrade my ram?
[09:14] <jake443> i want to remove extended and resize swap from 500MB to 100MB
[09:14] <jake443> finish
[09:14] <jake443> what do i use linux for ? for serious stuff.. no videos no audios nothing
[09:14] <nibbler_> jake443, just remove swap, repartition, add swap?
[09:14] <ozette> Ok, no funny jokes but - What's the best way to get Internet Explorer to run on Ubuntu (preferably no vm)
[09:14] <jake443> you are seriuous to help tell me
[09:14] <jake443> you can't i will go somewehre els
[09:14] <MonkeyDust> ozette  wine
[09:14] <nibbler_> ozette, if no vm, then iwne
[09:14] <nibbler_> wine
[09:15] <tsimpson> ozette: wine, but don't expect it to work in any meaningful way
[09:15] <Gxps> hello there, I am using Ubuntu 12.04 on an usb memstick made from unetbootin, seems to work well. though I have probs with wifi toiconnect to my accesspoint through WPS.. how do I manage to hook up through WPS with ubuntu ?
[09:15] <ozette> hmm
[09:15] <ozette> ok
[09:15] <ozette> thanks
[09:15] <ozette> I just need it for web dev.
[09:16] <gordonjcp> jake443: feel free to go somewhere else, if that's your attitude
[09:16] <aidanjt> jake443: you can use the ubuntu installer cd to start gparted to delete the swap and extended partitions, shrink the root partition if you must make more room for swap, and create a swap partition
[09:16] <ikonia> ozette: you'll get more realisitic test results from running it within a virtual machine
[09:16] <tsimpson> ozette: I'd have to say your best bet is to use a VM, IE is hooked deep into the WIN API, and so the shortcomings of wine really show through
[09:17] <gordonjcp> ozette: there used to be a thing called "ies4linux" which wrapped wine with a custom installer
[09:17] <jake443> aidanjt what happens if i delete swap and extended ? will ubuntu boot?
[09:17] <gordonjcp> ozette: it was extremely good, but I don't know if it's still on the go
[09:17] <jake443> because i'm in the gparted screen right now
[09:17] <hfic> jake443, it's not recommended to completely remove swap partitions.
[09:17] <gordonjcp> jake443: it should still boot *if* swap is the only thing in the extended partition
[09:17] <Gxps> am I missing something special to be able to make the laptop to hook up the wifi through WPS ?
[09:18] <ikonia> Gxps: is it a live install or a "disk" install
[09:18] <gordonjcp> jake443: the space taken up by the extended partition will be lost
[09:18] <ikonia> eg: are you running it live, or from a hard disk install
[09:18] <Atlantic777> jake443: can you post a screenshot of the gparted screen you are looking at?
[09:19] <Atlantic777> of copy output of command "sudo fdisk -l"
[09:19] <jake443> IT'S a green rectangle with yellow rectangle inside of it
[09:19] <Atlantic777> great, can you post it somewhere?
[09:19] <Gxps> ikonia its a live install i think , i took the .iso for 32 bits , and used unetbootin tocreate a live usb, im using the "try on" since I dont wanna install it yet
[09:19] <jake443> outside is extended hwich is green. inside yellow which is swap
[09:20] <jake443> both are 1 part
[09:20] <hfic> jake443, people want to see what your looking at. Please post it at img or somewhere else free and easy to share your screen shot of gparted.
[09:20] <ikonia> Gxps: what wifi card is it
[09:20] <jake443> how can i hfic if the DAMN thing is GPARTED !!
[09:21] <hfic> jake443, It's called a screen shot and an upload. I would watch the way you speak to people in this channel.
[09:21] <aidanjt> jake443: press "Print Screen", save the file, open browser, go to imgur.com, upload image
[09:21] <Gxps> ikonia , not sure its a samsung n140
[09:21] <jake443> network card is not working right now
[09:22] <Gxps> ikonia , not sure its a samsung n140, imean the laptop
[09:22] <jake443> i will do my own research
[09:22] <aidanjt> jake443: thumbstick the image file?
