[08:48] <Yabden> maybe it isn't in your path
[08:48] <mukwenhac> thanks, Yabden which path would this be
[08:48] <Yabden> do: whereis netbeans
[08:48] <Jake> .
[08:49] <Jake> ty
[08:49] <Yabden> it will probably tell you the directory
[08:49] <mukwenhac> this is the output -> netbeans: /etc/netbeans.import /etc/netbeans.conf /etc/netbeans.clusters /usr/local/bin/netbeans /usr/share/netbeans
[08:50] <Yabden> you should be able to run it by doing /usr/local/bin/netbeans then
[08:51] <mukwenhac> I tried that -> bash: /usr/local/bin/netbeans: No such file or directory

[09:15] <gerard12> goodmorning
[09:18] <rokyronnie> can Skype use ALSA ?
[09:20] <Yabden> alsa can emulate oss so if skype supports oss then alsa will work with it
[09:20] <Dubaco> hi
[09:20] <Dubaco> does a netbook remix 11.04 exist?
[09:20] <rokyronnie> so.. how can I do that ? cause ALSA is the only way my microphone works
[09:21] <auronandace_> Dubaco: no, unity is meant to be for netbooks anyway
[09:21] <Dubaco> huh?
[09:22] <auronandace_> !unity | Dubaco
[09:27] <NotproN> does somebody here run ubunto in dual boot with osx?
[09:27] <akram> hi
[09:27] <auronandace> !anyone | NotproN
[09:27] <somsip> mukwenhac: it should be a link in /usr/local/bin/netbeans. On mine:  netbeans -> /usr/local/netbeans-7.1/bin/netbeans*
[09:28] <akram> هاي
[09:28] <NotproN> does somebody have done dual boot with ubuntu/osx under macbooks?
[09:29] <NotproN> if yeas, how do i do i
[09:29] <ikonia> NotproN: I have done in the past, I'm not currently
[09:29] <melvincv> there he goes again
[09:29] <ikonia> NotproN: you'll get better responses if you just ask your question rather than if anyone has this, people know how to do things even if they don't do them thereselves
[09:29] <ikonia> melvincv: ?
[09:30] <auronandace> !dualboot | NotproN
[09:30] <theadmin> NotproN: The Ubuntu installer detects other operating systems, if you use the simple partitioning option it will automatically handle all the dual boot for you, can't be a big deal
[09:30] <theadmin> Then again I have no idea if grub really boots osx or not (don't see why not, it can chainload...)
[09:31] <melvincv> ikonia, "does somebody... " doesn't really help anybody, right?
[09:31] <ikonia> melvincv: not really no.
[09:31] <theadmin> melvincv: Some people just don't know how to ask questions :D
[09:36] <pigiman> Hey there, I have installed latest skype version and seems that it always get stuck. Any ideas what can I do to fix it?
[09:37] <eskizle->  how can i extract applet from webpages?
[09:37] <chaospsychex> eskizle-: what do you mean 'extract' ?
[09:38] <eskizle-> to be able to get the jar
[09:38] <eskizle-> so that i can reuse it for exemple
[09:38] <chaospsychex> oh
[09:38] <chaospsychex> what browser are u using?
[09:39] <eskizle-> ff
[09:39] <eskizle-> firefox
[09:39] <rokyronnie> where is the old ALT+F2 command in Ubuntu 11.10 ? cause when I do this nothing happen
[09:39] <chaospsychex> eskizle-: there is an extension for firefox so see jar
[09:39] <chaospsychex> dev tools extension
[09:40] <sgo11> rokyronnie, it works here.
[09:40] <eskizle-> chaospsychex: ok...
[09:40] <chaospsychex> !ubuntu
[09:41] <sgo11> rokyronnie, gnome-control-center keyboard
[09:43] <rokyronnie> ok, and how the command called ?
[09:43] <sgo11> rokyronnie, I just posted for you. gnome-control-center keyboard
[09:45] <rokyronnie> ok thanks, problem solved
[09:45] <sgo11> rokyronnie, you're welcome. :)
[09:46] <rokyronnie> but I really can't figure out how to make my mike work with skype, alsa being the only way my mike ever worked, and I can't find anything else then PulseAudio in skype sound settings
[09:47] <jswagner> just installed the 0214 daily-live image on an HP EliteBook 2760p and everything went really smoothly :)
[09:47] <MacroMan> Hi everyone.
[09:48] <MacroMan> I've got a big problem this morning. I decided to try out one of these USB 2 VGA adapters
[09:48] <MacroMan> So I plugged it in and booted, then gnome only loaded on the monitor plugged into the adapter
[09:49] <MacroMan> I shutdown and unplugged it then booted again. Now I'm only getting to stage 3 booting (command line only)
[09:49] <MacroMan> I tried 'start gdm'
[09:49] <tumppu> startx
[09:49] <tumppu> you can't start gdm without X
[09:50] <jswagner> best feature: connected to wifi from live cd, and after i booted into the system, it remember the network and the key
[09:50] <MacroMan> thanks I'll try it. One thing I did note from the syslog. It was still trying to load the USBDID something or other
[09:50] <MacroMan> Basically the driver for the usb adapter
[09:51] <jswagner> everything worked out of the box, even the digitizer
[09:51] <jswagner> playing with gnome-shell now
[09:51] <MacroMan> So it seems that it is now configured the default monitor for the adapter. Know where this configuration is stored?
[09:51] <MacroMan> I'm on 10.04 lts
[09:52] <jswagner> xorg.conf?
[09:52] <MacroMan> There isn't a xorg.conf on 10.04
[09:52] <tumppu> xinitrc?
[09:56] <MacroMan> Any idea where xinittrc is? I googled but can't find it
[09:57] <Muelli> MacroMan: well, I think you are supposed to put it in your home directory.
[09:57] <tumppu> /etc/X11/xinit
[09:59] <MacroMan> In my syslog I have: WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf': No such file or directory
[10:00] <chaospsychex> lol
[10:00] <MacroMan> xinittrc doesn't contain any monitor or driver information
[10:01] <MacroMan> I also have this error: gdm-binary[2561]: WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat-id found
[10:02] <MacroMan> I'm really stuck. Anybody have any ideas?
[10:02] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: what is the problem
[10:02] <MacroMan> I plugged in a USB 2 VGA adapter which didn't work and now when I boot gdm won't loa
[10:02] <MacroMan> d
[10:03] <chaospsychex> ok is it plugged in right now?
[10:04] <TA5K> Hi, I have a problem with setting my display resolution permanently. Changing it via Settings Dialog and "save it permanently" has no effect. Any suggestions?
[10:04] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: are you at the shell ?
[10:04] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: tty?
[10:05] <MacroMan> Yes, I'm at shell
[10:05] <chaospsychex> are you on mars or something
[10:06] <chaospsychex> cuz it takes you like 5mins to reply
[10:06] <chaospsychex> lag....
[10:07] <MacroMan> Here's my log file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842828/
[10:07] <MacroMan> from syslog
[10:07] <chaospsychex> well anyway, pull out the adapter then plug it back in. wait 2 secs after plugging it back in then do 'dmesg' paste the last 10 lines
[10:07] <snow_usa> ok, bye huayra
[10:07] <snow_usa> thanks
[10:08] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok, im looking at it.....
[10:08] <MacroMan> I'm not bothered about getting it working now. I just want my normal display monitors back up and running
[10:09] <raahede> I have a technical issue, who should i report it to?
[10:09] <junglist99> hello
[10:09] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: show me the contents of '/etc/gdm/custom.conf'
[10:09] <MonkeyDust> raahede  maybe someone here can help
[10:09] <MacroMan> That file doesn't exist
[10:10] <MacroMan> I'm not sure if it used to or not
[10:10] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ls | grep /etc/gdm/
[10:10] <juvelu_> ?
[10:10] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: i mean 'ls /etc/gdm/'
[10:11] <MacroMan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/842832/
[10:11] <MacroMan> There ^
[10:11] <TA5K> Mmm, I can't click with mouse right now. Mouse curser seans to changed it's icon, but I can't select anything ... ??!?
[10:12] <raahede> Okay, I have a thinkpad edge 0196-2EG where i run ubuntu desktop aside my windows 7 installation. My ubuntu can sometime freeze and I have to hardreset my computer to come into normal conditions again. I also have a IBM thinkpad T41 with a full Ubuntu install and there is no problems at all.. What can cause to freeze problem on the thinkpad 0196-2EG?
[10:12] <lukman> mas mau print

[10:13] <MacroMan> K thanks
[10:13] <nixmaniack> hi, I want to create a demo user without displaying it on Login Screen, and no clutter of .skel in it's home directory. How can I do that?
[10:14] <namoamitabuddha> Is there anybody suffering from ipw2200?
[10:14] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: have you tried creating that file it's complaining about and seeing what happens?
[10:14] <MacroMan> I can try that
[10:14] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf
[10:15] <chaospsychex> CTRL+O to ouput it and then ctrl+x to quit, don't put anything in it just yet
[10:15] <MacroMan> Ok, I need to restart to see if that works
[10:16] <MacroMan> I'll drop from here, but be back on once I've tried it
[10:16] <henkselikapina> part #ubuntu
[10:16] <chaospsychex> he didn't need to restart.....
[10:17] <chaospsychex> :-/
[10:17] <sedataym> hi
[10:17] <chaospsychex> ahoy
[10:18] <azbarcea_> hello everyone ...
[10:18] <azbarcea_> i have a problem with apt
[10:18] <Angablade> And?
[10:18] <azbarcea_> the same discribed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11667234
[10:18] <raahede> Any one who has experienced my above problem?
[10:18] <azbarcea_> the problem is that any-get install, upgrade doesn't fail but reports errors
[10:19] <azbarcea_> does anyone has any suggestion?
[10:19] <MacroMan> Still only boots to command line
[10:19] <chaospsychex> complaining of same msg?
[10:19] <MacroMan> Let me just check the log
[10:20] <Muelli> azbarcea_: can you give us the full output of your problem in a pastebin, please? Otherwise it's hard to tell
[10:20] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: do you have the usb adapter removed?
[10:20] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/pc2evvhe
[10:21] <azbarcea_> the problem occured when muon freezed at 97%
[10:21] <MacroMan> I did when I tried it. I'm using the adapter so I can get on here
[10:21] <azbarcea_> i tried anything I knew (from dpkg --configure -a) to erase cache etc
[10:21] <MacroMan> That's why I had to log out from this channel
[10:22] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Looks bad. Maybe do smth like "apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.0.0-16-generic" helps?
[10:22] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: so this adapter allows you to plug a vga monitor into a usb port?
[10:22] <azbarcea_> Muelli: the problem got worse when I removed manually the files from /boot with <IP_ADDRESS>-16
[10:23] <Muelli> uh azbarcea_
[10:23] <azbarcea_> Muelly - i tried yesterday that, lets see what happens now
[10:23] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: what video-outs does your board have?
[10:23] <MacroMan> I'm using nvidea card. It has VGA and DVI-I
[10:23] <MacroMan> One monitor in each socket
[10:24] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: so your problem is gdm won't start?
[10:24] <MacroMan> hmm, from the log it looks like it's loading the sisusb driver (FOr the usb adapter): http://paste.ubuntu.com/842843/
[10:25] <MacroMan> Yes, gdm won't load wihtout using this usb adapter
[10:25] <MacroMan> It was fine up unitil I plugged that dammed thing in
[10:25] <TA5K> Mousebug: I had to reload the psmouse module "modprobe .r psmouse" ... now it's working .. for how long?!
[10:25] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I tried anything from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure
[10:25] <TA5K> Wow powertop shows "37.0% (506.7)   [Rescheduling interrupts] <kernel IPI>" ... :(
[10:26] <Muelli> azbarcea_: What's the outoput of apt-get install --reinstall?
[10:26] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: show me output of 'lsmod | grep usb'
[10:26] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/zBhPUi5S
[10:26] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: with the adapter removed
[10:26] <MacroMan> OK I need to reboot for that. GIve me a minute
[10:27] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: if you reboot with the adapter removed will gdm start?
[10:27] <Muelli> azbarcea_: sick :-\ So what kernels do you have installed? Check with smth like apt-cache policy linux-kernel. Then, *I*'d apt-get remove the -15 kernel but mind you that it might leave you with an unbootable system.
[10:28] <azbarcea_> Muelli: the kernel I'm using right now is -15
[10:28] <azbarcea_> Muelli: the dist-upgrade tried to install -16
[10:29] <Muelli> azbarcea_: yeah, I guess so. I'd remove it and install the -16 right away.
[10:29] <azbarcea_> Muelli: yesterday I tried to compile -17, but after compile, the install failed with the same error
[10:30] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: welcome back
[10:30] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: so you have the adapter in now?
[10:31] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I try to force install the -16 without loosing the -15
[10:31] <MonkeyDust> !bots
[10:31] <Muelli> azbarcea_: nah, won't work.
[10:31] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I don't know to do that (it seams)
[10:31] <Pumpkin-> ./win 32
[10:31] <Pumpkin-> aishfasfa
[10:31] <MacroMan> Hi, 'lsmod | grep usb' show this when the adapter is unplugged: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842853/
[10:32] <MacroMan> Yes I have the adapter plugged in now
[10:32] <Muelli> azbarcea_: but that;s why I asked for the other kernels. If you had other kernels installed, then removing the current one isn't a big deal.
[10:32] <MacroMan> It's the only way I get gdm to load
[10:32] <varnie> Hi.
[10:32] <varnie> I'd like to know how can I install IE on ubuntu.
[10:32] <varnie> I have to perform some checks for my websites.
[10:33] <theadmin> varnie: Search for "ies4linux"
[10:33] <Muelli> varnie: there is "IE4Linux". check google
[10:33] <azbarcea_> Muelli: this is what i have in /boot http://pastebin.com/puvk3mkG
[10:33] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: so you do have the shell showing without using the adapter?
[10:33] <Muelli> azbarcea_: but that;s why I asked for the other kernels. If you had other kernels installed, then removing the current one isn't a big deal.
[10:33] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: are you using xchat right now?
[10:33] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I don't think -16 is a working one
[10:33] <MacroMan> No I'm using the web browser
[10:34] <MacroMan> webchat.freenode.net
[10:34] <azbarcea_> Muelli: Ok .. let's remove the 15 then
[10:34] <MacroMan> Yes the shell shows without the adapter
[10:34] <MacroMan> This is what 'lsmod ...' is hsowing now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842858/
[10:35] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok i see....
[10:35] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok do this
[10:35] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: unplug this adapter and boot on your other monitor
[10:35] <MacroMan> ok
[10:35] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: when u get to the shell you will need to run these commands
[10:36] <azbarcea_> Muelli: this is what I have now: http://pastebin.com/pBPHfZVv
[10:36] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: sudo apt-get install irssi
[10:36] <MacroMan> k
[10:36] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: once that command is done, run 'irssi'
[10:36] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: then irssi will start
[10:36] <LinSkyrate> question: How do i resolve hostnames on LAN? i only get the ip adr on all the hosts..
[10:37] <MacroMan> I take it irssi is an irc client
[10:37] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: yes
[10:37] <Dwade09> how do i convert .flv or .mp4 or .avi to .mp3?
[10:37] <Muelli> so azbarcea_, I think you can apt-get purge the -15 one, because you still have the -12 installed :) Actually, apt-get purge both, the -15 and the -16. Oh, and the -17, too.
[10:37] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: once irssi is started you run '/server irc.ubuntu.com'
[10:37] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: then '/nick MacroMan' then 'join #ubuntu'
[10:37] <MacroMan> Ok got it
[10:38] <chaospsychex> so do that and we go from there
[10:38] <MacroMan> I'll be back on in a min
[10:38] <MacroMan> thanks
[10:40] <MacroMan> Hi
[10:40] <chaospsychex> ok
[10:40] <chaospsychex> your not using the adapter now right?
[10:40] <MacroMan> No, it's unplugged
[10:40] <chaospsychex> ok show me 'lsmod | grep usb'
[10:41] <Tedster> Hi!
[10:41] <chaospsychex> oh wait, lol will be hard your at the shell
[10:41] <MacroMan> Can I drop out of irssi keep the session open?
[10:41] <azbarcea_> Muelli: now what: http://pastebin.com/1HUZkWmR
[10:41] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: if you hold ALT and press the right arrow key you will go to another terminal
[10:41] <MacroMan> Ok cool
[10:41] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: if you hold ALT and press the left arrow key u will come back

[10:47] <azbarcea_> Muelli: now what? http://pastebin.com/KFQ168pF
[10:47] <MacroMan> 'vga: No such file or directory'
[10:47] <BarryB> see if you have the modules
[10:47] <Halexander9000> But keys did get stuck in Unity. They don't in LXDE.
[10:47] <Halexander9000> Could someone please help me?
[10:48] <llutz> chaospsychex: lsmod|grep -E 'video|vga'    you mean

[10:51] <Muelli> azbarcea_: so can you execute smth like "sudo bash -x /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools 3.0.0-16-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-16-generic" and paste the output?
[10:51] <MacroMan> FATAL ERROR: No screens found
[10:51] <Muelli> azbarcea_: have you screwed up anything else that you haven't told us yet? I.e. remove some system packages?
[10:51] <MacroMan> Check Xorg.0.log for more information
[10:51] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: 'sudo apt-get remove gdm'
[10:51] <BarryB> can anyone help me....im looking for a package for ubuntu 11.04 that will show a nice UI likethe old gnome with a lovely flow....kinda like MAC
[10:51] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: then 'sudo apt-get install gdm'
[10:52] <MacroMan> Is that safe to remove gdm?
[10:52] <azbarcea_> Muelli: not as I know
[10:52] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/qmmE7L2U
[10:52] <Gyro54> My digital output from my sound card has stopped working under 11.10? Still works on windoze. Has there been any similar problems?
[10:52] <MacroMan> Ok, the remove is running
[10:52] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: yes but when u run that command before you press y to continue tell me what is being listed that will be removed, will only be gdm?
[10:52] <MacroMan> Ah, too late
[10:52] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: it's removing ONLY gdm ?
[10:53] <Muelli> azbarcea_: and "sudo bash -x update-initramfs -c -t -k 3.0.0-16-generic -b /boot"?
[10:53] <MacroMan> to remove: gdm gdm-guest ubunut-DESKTOP
[10:53] <theadmin> Nothing really depends on gdm so it should be safe to remove.
[10:53] <theadmin> MacroMan: It's okay, safe
[10:53] <MacroMan> Ok cool
[10:53] <theadmin> MacroMan: Just be sure to install another login manager
[10:53] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: sudo apt-get install gdm
[10:53] <MacroMan> Ok I'll do that now
[10:53] <chaospsychex> wait
[10:53] <theadmin> MacroMan: (try kdm or lxdm)
[10:54] <chaospsychex> sudo apt-get purge gdm
[10:54] <chaospsychex> run that
[10:54] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/rfG0pxfi
[10:54] <MacroMan> hang on, am I installing gdm, kdm or what?
[10:54] <chaospsychex> gdm, but first purge
[10:54] <theadmin> MacroMan: Whatever login manager works for you :D
[10:54] <Halexander9000> Hello there. Anyone? A little help? I can't seem to find the option that when checked disables mouse while typing. It might be the one that's causing me these problems. Anyone?
[10:54] <MacroMan> Oh I see, gdm is the login manager
[10:54] <theadmin> MacroMan: Yesh.
[10:55] <MacroMan> Ok well I've actually done apt-get install gdm which has finished
[10:55] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: sudo gdm
[10:55] <Muelli> azbarcea_: and "sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic.new 3.0.0-16-generic"?
[10:55] <MacroMan> Shall I remove and try kdm?
[10:55] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/4PPxGrTB
[10:55] <chaospsychex> no 'sudo gdm' see if works
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/mouse-disabletouchpad.html   maybe
[10:55] <theadmin> chaospsychex: dafuq?... Don't use that... "sudo service gdm start" is the proper way
[10:55] <MacroMan> sudo gdm. Same errors as before
[10:55] <chaospsychex> sudo service gdm start
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=271052&highlight=disable+touchpad+while+typing  or that maybe
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/ubuntu-automatically-disable-touchpad.html
[10:56] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: Sir, but I'm using LXDE, I doubt it has the same "Control panel" you're used to in Unity.
[10:56] <MacroMan> it worked. gdm running, process 2990
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: the last link is CLI, DE independant
[10:56] <MacroMan> But I'm still on the command line
[10:56] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok now ALT+F7
[10:56] <theadmin> MacroMan: Very well, hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 and see if you can see the login box
[10:56] <theadmin> chaospsychex: You're forgetting the ctrl
[10:57] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: Thanks. I'll give it a go and see if it works.
[10:57] <chaospsychex> theadmin: u don't need the ctrl outside of DE ?
[10:57] <azbarcea_> Muelli: paste to long ... just the last lines: http://pastebin.com/MRRGXAFe
[10:57] <MacroMan> Ok, it's trying to start Virtualbox kernal modules
[10:57] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: inside the DE u need to use the ctrl with alt
[10:57] <MacroMan> the DE?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> MacroMan: may want to get updates in CLI too, may help
[10:57] <Muelli> so azbarcea_, can it be that "gzip" is missing?
[10:57] <theadmin> chaospsychex: Oh, really? Hm. Wasn't aware of that, I always just Ctrl-Alt-F{ttynumber}
[10:58] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok so you logged in and gnome is starting?
[10:58] <fifex> hi
[10:58] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: DE is Desktop Environment
[10:58] <Muelli> azbarcea_: or cpio.
[10:58] <fifex> y a t il des français ?
[10:58] <MacroMan> Well it says "Starting Virtualbox Kernal modules"
[10:58] <yuler> Having trouble with Wacom Bamboo under Maverick.  Using dkms module v<IP_ADDRESS>, the cursor position is absolute and, using mypaint, I cannot lift the pen and start a new stroke.  The xf86 driver simply doesn't work.  Bamboo works fine under 11.10 (LiveCD).
[10:58] <theadmin> !fr | fifex
[10:59] <MacroMan> No login box
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> yuler: does it work in Oneiric liveCD?
[10:59] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/sE6ZHpQQ
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> yuler: sorry, didn't read the end
[10:59] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: do you see the GDM at F7?
[10:59] <yuler> ActionParsnip: if Oneric is 11.10, yes
[10:59] <Muelli> azbarcea_: hm. interesting. What do "type -a gzip" or "type -a cpio" say?
[10:59] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/0jFshngU
[10:59] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: do you see the login screen on F7?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> yuler: maverick is EOL in April, so I wouldn't waste much time in Maverick and get upgraded
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> yuler: yes oneiric is 11.10
[10:59] <MacroMan> No I see a screen telling me the last thing I put
[11:00] <yuler> ActionParsnip: if I didn't want to waste time, I would not have asked
[11:00] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/rAKKJ5Fh
[11:00] <MacroMan> But it still looks like command line
[11:00] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: hold ALT and press the right arrow key
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> yuler: when maverick is EOL you will get no updates and no support here....
[11:00] <Muelli> azbarcea_: hm. k. Then what is actually line 355 of /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs?
[11:00] <chaospsychex> is 8?
[11:00] <yuler> ActionParsnip: until them, my question stands
[11:00] <azbarcea_> Muelli: lets see
[11:00] <MacroMan> Yes, I get to another command promtp
[11:01] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: tty8?
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> yuler: fair enough, thats fine :)
[11:01] <MacroMan> I've cycled through all 7 and nothing
[11:01] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok go to tty2
[11:01] <MacroMan> There isn't a tty8
[11:01] <MacroMan> ok
[11:01] <chaospsychex> sudo ps aux | grep gdm
[11:02] <chaospsychex> what does it show
[11:02] <Gyro54> The answer was to reset to analogue and then change back to digital - fixed the problem
[11:02] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/fERv7Qs3
[11:03] <MacroMan> Ok I get this: "david 3314 0.0 0.0 3328 812 tty2 S+ 11:02 0:00 grep --color=auto gdm"
[11:03] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: ok is this VM?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> chaospsychex: i suggest to add:  | grep -v grep     so grep itself doesn't show
[11:03] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: sudo pkill x
[11:03] <MacroMan> VM as in virtual machine?
[11:03] <MacroMan> No it's not
[11:04] <llutz> chaospsychex: "pgrep gdm"
[11:04] <MacroMan> Ok I did sudo pkill x
[11:04] <Simon1245> Hey guys, could someone tell me how to connect "My Documents" from Windows to Linux and changes made in Linux happens on Windows aswell, would be appericated if someoen could help me step by step :)
[11:04] <Muelli> eh azbarcea_. More context would be good, i.e. to see were ec2 comes from :-\ Maybe use wgetpaste or smth like that to conveniently post the thing.
[11:04] <damo22> Simon1245, you could create a separate partition for your stuff
[11:04] <MacroMan> "pgrep gdm" doesn't do anything
[11:04] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: reboot
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: is it an internel partition
[11:04] <MacroMan> OK, be back in a min
[11:04] <llutz> MacroMan: so no gdm running
[11:05] <chaospsychex> k
[11:05] <damo22> Simon1245, using an NTFS or FAT32 partition that both OS can see
[11:05] <Simon1245> damo22, How would that work?
[11:05] <Simon1245> damo22, No idea, ActionParsnip what does that mean lol
[11:06] <damo22> Simon1245, basically its a segment of your hard disk dedicated to your important files, and both OS can Read and Write to it
[11:07] <david> OK, it booted back to command line
[11:07] <Guest45827> ah damn
[11:07] <damo22> Simon1245, is that what youre after?
[11:07] <Guest45827> I didn't login to MacroMan quick enough
[11:07] <Simon1245> damo22, How can I check wether it's NTFS or FAT32?
[11:08] <Simon1245> damo22, Yes so basically if I'm working on linux and saves something that it appears on Windows when I switch to Windows partition
[11:08] <damo22> Simon1245, it doesnt exist on your machine yet, im saying its one way you can set things up
[11:09] <david__> Ok I'm back
[11:09] <david__> It's MacroMan
[11:09] <Simon1245> damo22, I want something that could save changes I made in one OS to another so I don't have to switch it manually, it's hard to explain lol
[11:09] <chaospsychex> david__: so what happened
[11:09] <damo22> Simon1245, this is why i recommend splitting your important data into a separate partition
[11:09] <david__> Just booted back to command line
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: is it on a disk INSIDE the system?
[11:10] <david__> But did do a disk check when it started
[11:10] <kaiowas> Hi, just wondering if anyone here has installed Ubuntu on a Mac and could answer a couple of questions?
[11:10] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, Yeah it's on the harddrive in the computer, not using any external one if that's what you mean
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: Ubuntu can access your NTFS partitions easily, just have it mount at boot then make a symlink for easy access
[11:10] <david__> Shall I try removing gdm and putting on kdm instead?
[11:11] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: Easiest way to find out is to ask your questions. If anyone can answer them, they probably will :)
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: yes, its on a drive inside your system, so its an internal partitions
[11:11] <chaospsychex> david__: do you run the purge command before you reinstalled gdm ?
[11:11] <kaiowas> Jordan_U: Right :)
[11:11] <damo22> Simon1245, can you paste the output of sudo fdisk -l
[11:11] <david__> No, was I supposed to?
[11:11] <damo22> Simon1245, to a pastebin
[11:11] <Simon1245> damo22, sure
[11:11] <david__> So apt-get remove gdm
[11:11] <david__> apt-get purge gdm
[11:11] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, I see :) your way seems easier how can I do it?
[11:11] <chaospsychex> apt-get remove --purge gdm
[11:11] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551332/
[11:11] <david__> then apt-get install gdm
[11:11] <chaospsychex> yes
[11:11] <chaospsychex> prefixed with sudo ofcourse
[11:11] <azbarcea_> Muelli: great tool that wgetpaste ... thx ...
[11:11] <david__> Ok, let me do that quickly
[11:11] <chaospsychex> ok
[11:11] <kaiowas> How much space will Ubuntu take installed? I thought 20gb should be enough for a Ubuntu partition, so i can play around some with it.
[11:12] <doug_> :q
[11:12] <chaospsychex> ubuntu will take 19.5gb
[11:12] <chaospsychex> j/k
[11:12] <damo22> chaospsychex, O_o
[11:12] <david__> hmm, my tty2 is stuck starting apache.
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: you will need to add an entry for it in /etc/fstab so that it mounts at boot
[11:12] <Myrtti> kaiowas: depends on how you'll partition and plan your system
[11:12] <kaiowas> they are good at compressing those files then ;)
[11:12] <Simon1245> damo22, http://pastebin.com/1Eb5si8d
[11:12] <chaospsychex> david__: why is it trying to start apache?
[11:12] <Myrtti> chaospsychex: if you don't have constructive and actually helpful things to say, then don't.
[11:12] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: A default install of Ubuntu takes a little less than 3 GiB last I checked. How much space you need beyond that depens on what files you store and what applications you install.
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> kaiowas: my full gnome desktop is about 4Gb in size with all the codecs and so forth
[11:13] <kaiowas> Myrtti: First time install.. so this will be just a partition so i can learn Ubuntu.
[11:13] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, could you show me how to do it like step by step as I'm a beginner to this.
[11:13] <david__> I have apache running on my machine by default
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs | Simon1245
[11:13] <david__> I'll worry about that later
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> Simon1245: there are plenty of guides around
[11:13] <Simon1245> ActionParsnip, Thanks :) Checking it now :)
[11:13] <damo22> Simon1245, you have too many swap partitions!
[11:14] <david__> Don't I need to re-install ubuntu-desktop since it was removed when I first did apt-get remove gdm?
[11:14] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. It tries to do a  "find /tmp/mkinitramfs_SISkZ5". Can you do that?
[11:14] <kaiowas> So, to partition my drive i should go to the Bootcamp program and do the same way as i install windows.. then install refit?
[11:14] <chaospsychex> david__: yes, was that re-installed when gdm was re-installed?
[11:14] <chaospsychex> david__: it should of installed it when gdm was installed, depends
[11:14] <david__> No, when I removed gdm again, it didn't show it for removal
[11:15] <chaospsychex> sudo apt-get install gdm
[11:15] <chaospsychex> dont hit anything
[11:15] <david__> how do I check if I have it
[11:15] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: No. Boot Camp will create a "hybrid" mbr, which is only needed because Windows can't boot from GPT on BIOS systems. If you're not using Windows, you don't want a hybrid mbr.
[11:15] <Simon1245> damo22, What does that mean lol
[11:15] <chaospsychex> david__: have what?
[11:15] <david__> ubuntu-desktop?
[11:15] <kaiowas> Jordan: Ok, so just go to diskutilities and make one more partition of the free space i have?
[11:15] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551333/
[11:16] <david__> Actually the apt-get install for gdm sisn't install it
[11:16] <david__> Can I do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[11:16] <damo22> Simon1245, it appears that you have a hidden windows partition, plus 2 NTFS partitions plus a linux one and 3 swap partitions
[11:16] <chaospsychex> david__: ok so 'sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop' first
[11:16] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Looks good. Can you do a "echo $?" immediately after the find?
[11:16] <azbarcea_> Muelli: no headers
[11:17] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: That hasn't helped sir.
[11:17] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: Follow the directions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download , and also install rEFIt just for ease (it's not needed, but it's convenient)
[11:17] <david__> Ok, now install?
[11:17] <azbarcea_> Muelli: shouldn't be some headers there?
[11:17] <chaospsychex> david__: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[11:17] <david__> Ok Downloading
[11:17] <chaospsychex> david__: then 'sudo apt-get install gdm'
[11:17] <david__> it's 10mb
[11:17] <Simon1245> damo22, the hidden one is Windows recovery one, the 2 NTFS is one C: and one :D for like backup files, linux one is kinda obvious and got no idea what the 3 swap one means lol
[11:17] <david__> I already have gdm though
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: thats all I know dude, sorry. Not something I use
[11:18] <azbarcea_> Muelli: output is: 0
[11:18] <damo22> Simon1245, do you want 4Gb of extra space as a E:?
[11:18] <Muelli> no azbarcea_, why? It's the initramdisk, the thing that gets loaded even before your OS is loaded.
[11:18] <chaospsychex> david__: did you purge before you 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desltop' ?
[11:18] <farrukhjon> how about upgrading linux kernel from kernel.org from trabal, is who tried it
[11:18] <david__> Yes
[11:18] <Simon1245> E: linux one?
[11:18] <kaiowas> Jordan_U: Thank you. If i don't install rEFIt i can just hold the ALT key and choose the Ubuntu partition?
[11:18] <david__> It's also instsalling linux-headers-generic
[11:18] <azbarcea_> Muelli: $ echo $?
[11:18] <azbarcea_> 0
[11:18] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: By any chance, you wouldn't happen to know the LXDE chat room here? Whenever I /list the channels on this network, pidgin crashes.
[11:19] <david__> Ok that's complete now
[11:19] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: Yes. Though it will be incorrectly labeled "Windows" by Apple's firmware.
[11:19] <chaospsychex> david__:  try 'sudo service start ubuntu-desktop'
[11:19] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Weird. I don't really get it then. cpio might be failing. So can you do the find /path/to/smth | cpio -R 0:0 -o -H newc; echo $?   ? where /path/to  is the path in /tmp/
[11:19] <damo22> Simon1245, there is 4Gb of extra space floating around you could use as Windows E: / Linux /dev/sda6
[11:19] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: You should also use the +mac iso, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64+mac.iso
[11:19] <Dwade09> im trying to make an audio cd but k3b wont let me says .mp3 is unsupported
[11:19] <david__> "unrecorgnized service"
[11:19] <Simon1245> damo22, Sure :D would be good as it's for no use anyways :) How can I do that?
[11:19] <kaiowas> Jordan_U: Oh, thanks for telling me about that one, i made a usb stick of the 64 bit.. but not Mac iso.
[11:20] <chaospsychex> david__: service start gdm
[11:20] <junglist99> can someone help me make my souncard work with prgm mixxx ?
[11:20] <junglist99> please
[11:20] <terminhell> Halexander9000: there are far too many rooms for pidgin to handle. just try /join #lxde
[11:20] <david__> same thing
[11:20] <MonkeyDu1t> !info mixxx
[11:20] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: Making a USB stick which is properly bootable on a mac is a hastle, and probably not worth the trouble if you can just burn a CD>
[11:20] <chaospsychex> david__: sudo service start gdm
[11:20] <damo22> Simon1245, run sudo gparted
[11:20] <david__> That's what I did
[11:21] <winnie666> when modifiing a live iso, should i place special scripts in /usr/share or /etc? will ubiquity still install those files to HD?
[11:21] <Halexander9000> Thanks terminhell!
[11:21] <chaospsychex> david__: ok hold on one sec
[11:21] <Simon1245> damo22, Command not found
[11:21] <david__> OK thanks
[11:21] <david__> I really appreciate your help so far
[11:21] <Simon1245> damo22, Can I open private chat with you btw?
[11:21] <damo22> Simon1245, sudo apt-get install gparted
[11:21] <damo22> ok
[11:21] <chaospsychex> david__: what version of ubuntu ?
[11:21] <david__> 10.04 lts
[11:21] <Dwade09> hello?
[11:21] <kaiowas> Jordan_U: I dont have any cds.. I followed the instructions and I think i got it installed.. but now when i think about it, it wasnt bootable.. I guess i have to go and buy some CDs :).
[11:22] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I don't know if I understand, the "$ sudo find . -name *smth*" returns nothing
[11:22] <terminhell> kaiowas: do you have a flash drive?
[11:22] <azbarcea_> Muelli: or smth is something ...
[11:22] <chaospsychex> david__: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:22] <Muelli> azbarcea_: I mean  "find /tmp/mkinitramfs_SISkZ5 | cpio -R 0:0 -o -H newc; echo $?"
[11:22] <kaiowas> terminhell: do you mean if i have a solidstate? No its a normal harddrive.
[11:23] <terminhell> kaiowas: no i mean do you a usb thumb drive. You can use those to boot
[11:23] <azbarcea_> Muelli: ugly - the output is binary
[11:23] <david__> The screen flickered for a few seconds
[11:23] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: There are instructions for making a USB drive which is bootable by a mac at the page I linked to, but they are complicated, not recommended, and will have you booting in EFI mode which will cause problems with graphics drivers. Also, if you do end up going the USB route you would have to *not* use the +mac iso.
[11:23] <Muelli> azbarcea_: hm. but that's good *thinking*. Make it smth like this:
[11:24] <tumppu> unetbootin
[11:24] <Muelli> azbarcea_:  "find /tmp/mkinitramfs_SISkZ5 | cpio -R 0:0 -o -H newc> /tmp/foo.cpio; echo $?"
[11:24] <terminhell> ehh, or not, thumb drive imagine is easier than burning a cd
[11:24] <terminhell> just use dd
[11:24] <kaiowas> terminhell: i do, but it didnt show up when i tried booting it after i tried installing it on a usb.
[11:24] <david__> So I think it failed to start again. That's what it was doing when I was trying that earlier
[11:24] <theadmin> terminhell: For burning a cd just use wodim... easy too :D
[11:24] <Jordan_U> terminhell: For an intel mac booting from USB is much more of a hastle due to firmware bugs.
[11:24] <chaospsychex> david__: no, go over to tty7
[11:24] <kaiowas> Jordan_U: okey, you convinced me of buying some cds. :).
[11:24] <terminhell> kaiowas: change your bios options to make your usb boot first
[11:25] <Jordan_U> kaiowas: :)
[11:25] <kaiowas> terminhell: it doesnt work like that on Mac
[11:25] <azbarcea_> Muelli: binary too
[11:25] <terminhell> silly mac's
[11:25] <david__> It's sitting on "Starting AppArmor profiles!
[11:25] <david__> "
[11:25] <kaiowas> :)
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> USB doesn't use moving parts so is awesome
[11:25] <ZoFreX> am I correct in thinking that if I chown zofrex:www-data a directory and set chmod g+s, new files created in that directory should have owner zofrex and group www-data?
[11:25] <david__> I now have a tty8, but it's comletely blank
[11:25] <Muelli> azbarcea_:  erm, onto your terminal? It should all be in the file now and everything you see on your terminal shuold be "0"... Isn't it?
[11:25] <david__> Just a flashing cursor
[11:25] <chaospsychex> one sec
[11:26] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i mean the foo.cpio is gibberish
[11:26] <Muelli> azbarcea_: nice. That's good. Now do smth like
[11:26] <Muelli> azbarcea_:  "find /tmp/mkinitramfs_SISkZ5 | cpio -R 0:0 -o -H newc | gzip > /tmp/foo.cpio.gz; echo $?"
[11:26] <Muelli> azbarcea_: it should print 0 on your terminal.
[11:26] <david__> chaospsychex: I need to have a break. I'll be back in 10
[11:26] <chaospsychex> david__: wait
[11:27] <david__brb> Ok I'm waiting
[11:27] <azbarcea_> Muelli: yes it is 0 and I have the .gz file
[11:27] <chaospsychex> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[11:27] <Muelli> azbarcea_: weird then. I don't think I understand what's going on. *thinking*
[11:28] <david__> Ok
[11:28] <chaospsychex> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:28] <azbarcea_> Muelli: -rw-rw-r-- 1 alex alex 16M 2012-02-15 13:27 /tmp/foo.cpio.gz
[11:28] <david__> Same thing. Just a flickereing screen
[11:28] <david__> tty7 and 8 are the same
[11:28] <Muelli> azbarcea_: do you have anything in /etc/initramfs-tools ? If you, it might be worth moving the contents out and try again.
[11:28] <azbarcea_> Muelli: you were rith ... the output was 0
[11:29] <azbarcea_> Muelli: but the command created that /tmp/foo.cpio.gz file ...
[11:29] <chaospsychex> david__: what does 'sudo startx' do
[11:29] <azbarcea_> Muelli: what do I do with that 16M archive?
[11:29] <david__> Same as before: "no screens found"
[11:29] <Halexander9000> Guys, I need to enable touchpad while typing. Can anyone help me please? Preferably using the terminal, since I'm not using the Unity desktop manager, but the LXDE one.
[11:29] <Muelli> azbarcea_: just leave it for now. It was just a test whether your tools work correctly.
[11:30] <azbarcea_> Muelli: this is what is have in /etc/initramfs-tools: conf.d  hooks  initramfs.conf  modules  scripts  update-initramfs.conf
[11:30] <azbarcea_> Muelli: Ok :)
[11:30] <david__> Ok I thing it must be a Xorg issue
[11:30] <azbarcea_> Muelli: now what?
[11:31] <chaospsychex> david__: ok do 'sudo lsmod | less' and go through and see if you see sisusbvga
[11:31] <Muelli> k azbarcea_. Let's try to following: "sudo cp -ar /etc/initramfs-tools{,.bak}" and if that was successful, delete the whole thing, i.e. "sudo rm -r /etc/initramfs-tools/".
[11:31] <chaospsychex> david__: i'm thinking the driver for the adapter is being used
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: unity isn't a desktop, its a shell. It uses Gnome as the default desktop
[11:31] <Muelli> azbarcea_: then, let's try the mkinitramfs command again. I don't know how it was called though *searching*
[11:32] <terminhell> Halexander9000:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics
[11:32] <Muelli> azbarcea_: after you removed the directory, try a "sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic.new 3.0.0-16-generic" again.
[11:33] <david__> No 'sisusbvag'
[11:33] <azbarcea_> Muelli: sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic.new 3.0.0-16-generic
[11:33] <azbarcea_> Muelli: ok!
[11:33] <sideev> Am pretty new to ubuntu, can someone tell me what xfce is ?
[11:33] <david__> There is "vga16fb" and "vgastate"
[11:33] <Muelli> azbarcea_: works?
[11:33] <freddy__> hi
[11:33] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: I herp-derped out of ignorance. Thanks for correcting me.
[11:33] <terminhell> sideev: xfce is a different GUI
[11:33] <shaibn> Hello :) Even though I use --state-cache-days=365 with debmirror ; I keep getting 'State cache file does not exist; doing full mirroring' ; which in turn, takes the entire process a long long time. Why won't the cache exist if I use the state cache argument?
[11:33] <azbarcea_> Muelli: the same ... E: mkinitramfs failure find 141 cpio 141 gzip 1 ... should I send all the output?
[11:34] <david__> I'm just going to check the xorg.conf file to see if there is anything in there
[11:34] <Muelli> azbarcea_: hm. yeah.
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: np man
[11:34] <sideev> terminhell: can i install it on my existing ubuntu? Ubuntu is having difficulty managing power
[11:34] <chaospsychex> david__: is your card an nvidia?
[11:34] <david__> Yes
[11:35] <chaospsychex> did u see nvidia in lsmod
[11:35] <david__> I wasn't using the nvidea drivers though, just the ones that came with ubuntu
[11:35] <terminhell> sideev: yes. You can also adjust power settings too
[11:35] <chaospsychex> oh
[11:35] <sideev> terminhell: is xubuntu is the xfce version of ubuntu?
[11:35] <theadmin> sideev: Correct.
[11:35] <terminhell> sideev: yes
[11:36] <david__> Nothing in the config
[11:36] <chaospsychex> ok do this
[11:36] <freddy__> have a problem mounting a vfat usbstick on my 10.4 ubuntu server. when using mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /mng/usbstick it says wrong fs type.. when I say -t usbfs I can mount it but not copy files to it ... ?
[11:36] <chaospsychex> sudo service gdm stop
[11:36] <chaospsychex> david__: sudo Xorg-configure
[11:37] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551357/
[11:37] <Jordan_U> freddy__: What if you don't provide any -t argument at all?
[11:37] <taylanub> i can't find Tor with aptitude search ?
[11:37] <david__> OK I think I actually know what's happened
[11:37] <chaospsychex> david__: sudo mv ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:37] <sideev> terminhell: theadmin Have been using ubuntu for 2 months now, 2 battery cells have dried up yet due to poor power management. It is consuming too much power. and getting heated up soon.
[11:37] <david__> I'm just going to reboot, I'll be back on in a sec
[11:37] <chaospsychex> wait
[11:37] <chaospsychex> run these commands first
[11:38] <Muelli> azbarcea_: hm. so the error code "141" that is returned by both, find and cpio, might come from the shell, i.e. bash. And 141 apparently is SIGPIPE. So why do the process get SIGPIPE..? Can you wgetpaste "dmesg" and "tail -n 50 /var/log/syslog" or /var/log/messages? Double check for sensitive data.
[11:38] <chaospsychex> sudo Xorg-configure
[11:38] <david__> There was a config file in the xorg.cond.d directory specific to that usbvga adapter
[11:38] <freddy__> Jordan_U: 'you must specify file system type '
[11:38] <Jordan_U> freddy__: usbfs is almost certainly *not* what you want.
[11:38] <freddy__> Jordan_U: ok -
[11:38] <david__> Xorg-configure - Command not found
[11:38] <Jordan_U> freddy__: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[11:38] <chaospsychex> david__: did u delete it
[11:38] <david__> No I've moved it
[11:38] <azbarcea_> Muelli: ohhh ... my /bin/sh doesn't poit to dash but to bash!
[11:38] <chaospsychex> ok reboot
[11:38] <freddy__> pastebin ?
[11:39] <sideev> terminhell: What I understand is that am running GNOME now, can I install xubuntu too?
[11:39] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I had to change that because of bitbake (scripts)
[11:39] <Muelli> azbarcea_: hm. shouldn't be a problem. But you can try to revert that.
[11:39] <auronandace> !xfce | sideev
[11:39] <azbarcea_> Muelli: good idea ...
[11:39] <terminhell> sideev:  yes, after you install it, log out and change session to xfce
[11:40] <Muelli> azbarcea_: well, before you get us the dmesg and syslog output or try again after the bash/dash move, do a apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools first.
[11:41] <azbarcea_> Muelli: changed bash to dash
[11:41] <auronandace> sideev: switching to xfce won't make the power management issue go away, its a regression in the kernel (fixed in 3.2.5 though)
[11:41] <Muelli> azbarcea_: apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools
[11:41] <taylanub> is there no Tor daemon in the repositories ?
[11:42] <Muelli> azbarcea_: then "dmesg | wgetpaste" and "cat /var/log/messages | wgetpaste"
[11:42] <azbarcea_> Muelli: reinstalled initramfs-tools http://pastebin.com/RxKtcrNt
[11:42] <MacroMan> YAY!!!
[11:42] <sideev> auronandace: Oh! I see. What should I do then? :-|
[11:42] <MacroMan> It's working
[11:42] <OerHeks> !tor | taylanub
[11:42]  * taylanub twitches .. 'wgetpaste < /var/log/messages' that
[11:42] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: awesome
[11:42] <terminhell> sideev:  upgrade your kernel
[11:42] <auronandace> sideev: wait for precise to be released in april
[11:42] <MacroMan> It was that config file in the xorg directory
[11:42] <azbarcea_> Muelli dmesg - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551360/
[11:43] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: so you were using that usb adapter to add a 3rd screen?
[11:43] <taylanub> OerHeks: thanks, but 'aptitude search tor' doesn't seem to find it
[11:43] <MacroMan> Thank you so much for your help and patience
[11:43] <MacroMan> Yes that's right
[11:43] <sideev> terminhell: auronandace And where can I update the kernel?
[11:43] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: np, i'm sure there is a way to configure xorg to only use that .conf file when the device is present and only for that device
[11:43] <k2s> I have USB headset and would like to make Skype ring on all devices, but use only headset for call. At this moment I have to change sound settings before/after call. thx
[11:43] <MacroMan> I'm a developer and it would be handy to have a 3rd screen
[11:43] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: what do u develope? you code?
[11:43] <MacroMan> Yes, I'll have a google around
[11:43] <terminhell> sideev: i doubt ubuntu has the latest kernel in its repo's atm
[11:43] <MacroMan> Yes, PHP
[11:44] <auronandace> sideev: running a different kernel means we can't support you here if anything goes wrong
[11:44] <OerHeks> !info tor
[11:44] <axitkhurana> Hi, I'm using ubuntu 10.04, Dell studio 1435, My motherboard was replaced today, now the internet is not working on ubuntu
[11:44] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: you have a website?
[11:44] <auronandace> !ppa | sideev
[11:44] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I don't have /var/log/messages - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551361/, maybe syslog?
[11:44] <taylanub> um, need to update some package cache perhaps
[11:44] <MacroMan> Yes, I really need to update it. It looks really crap. www.wakelin.co.cc
[11:44] <taylanub> (not a Ubuntu user, personally)
[11:44] <BarryB> anyone here actually like UNITY in 11.10?
[11:45] <Muelli> yeah azbarcea_. syslog is good.
[11:45] <sideev> auronandace: terminhell Damn. Am so confused. :-( What to do then?
[11:45] <auronandace> sideev: wait for 12.04 or try the ppa (knowing the risks)
[11:45] <terminhell> sideev: either wait for the next release of ubuntu, or use another distro
[11:45] <c31r2g> ppa?
[11:45] <Abooda> has anybody here used the German language freeware . de toolbar? I am trying to remove it from Mozilla FF, but am finding it difficult (poss as I don't know German)
[11:45] <MacroMan> chaospsychex: I don't really do  lot f private work anymore
[11:45] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: i have site too, http://chaospsychex.comlu.com
[11:46] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551362/
[11:46] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: click on main, lol
[11:46] <sideev> auronandace: Some alpha version (not sure about the term) is available on net I believe? Shall I try it ?
[11:46] <c31r2g> ppa?
[11:46] <sideev> auronandace: of 12.04 i mean
[11:46] <terminhell> !ppa
[11:46] <auronandace> sideev: up to you. its not stable so there are risks
[11:46] <taylanub> ran uptitude update and still no tor .. must be related to my setup  (some virtual machine...)
[11:46] <MacroMan> Cool.  So you have the working -12 kernel, right? Reboot into that. Your binary driver messed smth up and your filesystems seem to be remounted read-only. So a fresh boot might help...
[11:47] <auronandace> !12.04 | sideev
[11:47] <azbarcea_> Muelli: if you don't like that efi stuff, I hate it too
[11:47] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: check pm
[11:47] <sideev> auronandace: Risk as in?
[11:47] <azbarcea_> Muelli: ok ... rebooting
[11:47] <c31r2g> !12.04
[11:47] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: r u using irssi right now or xchat?
[11:47] <auronandace> sideev: stuff may break, do you know what alpha means?
[11:47] <c31r2g> !12.10
[11:48] <auronandace> !botabuse | c31r2g
[11:48] <Muelli> azbarcea_: good luck man
[11:48] <sideev> auronandace: I believe, they keep making changes, fixing bugs, till it comes very stable for public consumption
[11:48] <c31r2g> sorry kinda new
[11:48] <terminhell> <<using kernel 3.2.5-1
[11:49] <azbarcea_> Muelli: if something goes wrong ... we-ll meet in livecd chrooted :)
[11:49] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: yeah python
[11:49] <Muelli> azbarcea_: well. the -12 kernel should boot. you might have to select it though.
[11:49] <auronandace> sideev: alpha usually involves implementing features, beta is usually bug-fixing and then you get the rc and actual release (by then it is safe to use)
[11:49] <Xeli> Hey, I've just updated to gnome3, how can I 'snap' windows to a corner of the screen, I used to be able to do this with ctrl alt <numpad #>
[11:49] <MacroMan> chaospsychex: I'm still using irssi. I looked python once. Looked good, but I don't really have a need for it
[11:49] <reSPAWNed> Hi everyone!
[11:50] <terminhell> MacroMan: just drag to the side until the mouse touches screen edge
[11:50] <shaibn> Hello :) Even though I use --state-cache-days=365 with debmirror ; I keep getting 'State cache file does not exist; doing full mirroring' ; which in turn, takes the entire process a long long time. Why won't the cache exist if I use the state cache argument?
[11:51] <MacroMan> chaospsychex: I don't understand. I'm i a terminal window
[11:51] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: u can change windows in irssi by holding ALT and hitting a number key 'ALT+3'
[11:51] <sideev> auronandace: Oh. Thanks for info.
[11:51] <sideev> auronandace: Why the issue is there though? It is all about kernel?
[11:51] <chaospsychex> MacroMan: u see one blinking? 3 maybe?
[11:52] <auronandace> sideev: yes, it is a regression in the kernel
[11:52] <terminhell> Xeli:  just drag to the side until the mouse touches screen edge
[11:52] <reSPAWNed> I have a perhaps very basic question about compiling a linux distribution...
[11:52] <Seryth> Is there a way to put a scrolling bg on the desktop? I want to have a whole set of images rotated through every 10 seconds...
[11:52] <Xeli> terminhell: that doesn't work
[11:52] <auronandace> reSPAWNed: maybe ##linux is more suitable
[11:52] <reSPAWNed> How do I install my newly compiled distribution on a machine?
[11:53] <terminhell> Xeli: do you have gnome-shell too?
[11:53] <Xeli> terminhell: I think so, at login I picked gnome-classic
[11:53] <azbarcea_> Muelli: "uname -a" Linux horus 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[11:53] <reSPAWNed> @auronandace: perhaps... but I thought I would try here first.
[11:53] <dgulan> use english
[11:53] <terminhell> Xeli: thats your problem
[11:53] <reSPAWNed> auronandace: perhaps... but I thought I would try here first.
[11:53] <dgulan> use english?
[11:53] <dgulan> can i use Chinese?
[11:53] <Xeli> terminhell: ah let me try the non classic, brb
[11:53] <auronandace> reSPAWNed: this is just for support with ubuntu specifically
[11:54] <dgulan> 测试
[11:54] <krissed> in gnome ive made a script. I need to make a shortcut or somthing which always runs the script in terminal and with the preamble sudo infront. basicly prompting the user to type in the password before it executes. ow ?
[11:54] <auronandace> !cn | dgulan
[11:54] <crizzy_> krissed: gksudo
[11:54] <reSPAWNed> @auronandace: Oh, ok... I'll try another channel... Thx
[11:54] <krissed> crizzy_ where would i put gksudo command ?? thats sorta the problem
[11:55] <crizzy_> krissed: in your bash script
[11:55] <crizzy_> or
[11:55] <crizzy_> basically you'll need to do a wrapper script
[11:55] <sideev> auronandace: How can I check if am running on latest version of kernel or not
[11:55] <crizzy_> like, #!/bin/sh, gksudo /your/real/script.sh
[11:55] <auronandace> sideev: uname -a
[11:55] <terminhell> sideev: uname -a
[11:55] <crizzy_> with newline, not , obviously :)
[11:55] <terminhell> doh >.<
[11:55] <crizzy_> then make shortcut to this script
[11:56] <Xeli> terminhell: yes now it works, is it possible to make a keybinding for this?
[11:56] <terminhell> Xeli: probably, but ive never bothered with it
[11:56] <Xeli> ah, do you happend to know the name of this behavior? Im having problems googling for it.. :p
[11:57] <Seryth> Is there a way to put a scrolling bg on the desktop? I want to have a whole set of images rotated through every 10 seconds...I'm using 11.10 with xfce
[11:57] <terminhell> Xeli: tiling
[11:57] <terminhell> Xeli: check in either gconf or dconf editors
[11:58]  * reSPAWNed is leaving...
[11:58] <kaushal> Hi
[11:58] <sideev> auronandace: terminhell 3.0.0-15-generic-pae #26-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 20 17:07:31 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[11:59] <terminhell> Xeli: not sure if this helps https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet
[11:59] <auronandace> sideev: there is an update, but you won't get 3.2.5 or higher on 11.10 unless you deliberately install it
[12:00] <auronandace> !info linux-generic
[12:00] <terminhell> sideev: i wouldnt attempt going outside of the stable kernels for ubuntu. weird weird things can happen.
[12:00] <sideev> auronandace: And how can i install it?
[12:01] <sideev> terminhell: The one am having is the latest stable kernels? o
[12:01] <krissed> crizzy_ i have a script.. in this script i do some editing that requires sudo.. however when i execute the script it just gives me access denied. it doesnt ask me for password at all. why ?
[12:01] <terminhell> sideev: most likely
[12:01] <krissed> crizzy_ every command that needs the sudo inside the script starts with sudo
[12:02] <auronandace> sideev: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade (that will get you the latest in the repo which is <IP_ADDRESS>)
[12:03] <denis_> my firefox crashes non stop, even after reinstallation, since last upadate. how can i fix it?
[12:03] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i did another apt-get upgade ... got the same errors, the system asked me to restart, I did, the default option was kernel -16, which it freeze (with keyboard leds flashing), now i'm in  kernel -12 again
[12:03] <crizzy_> krissed: execute this script via a wrapper script like i said
[12:04] <krissed> ah ok. sorry didnt see that line untill just now
[12:04] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Can you get us dmesg and syslog again?
[12:04] <crizzy_> krissed: 1) script that calls your script with gksudo - this script is callable by everyone 2) your actual scrip which executes only with sudo, called by script 1
[12:04] <azbarcea_> Muelli: sure
[12:04] <crizzy_> krissed: then make a shortcut to the first script
[12:04] <krissed> crizzy_ excelent. thanks
[12:05] <azbarcea_> Muelli: dmesg is http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551370/ and syslog is http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551371/
[12:05] <Oli> Anybody know where Gedit 3's settings are stored? I'm trying to migrate settings from one account to another but I've now copied everything in $(find . -iname '*gedit*') and it's still using stock settings.

[12:06] <sideev> terminhell: auronandace Thanks for all the help. Really mean it. Learned so many things. And still want to learn a lot. Sometimes I find IRC chat better than a google search. Thanks again. :)
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> Oli: may also be in dconf
[12:06] <Oli> ActionParsnip: that's essentially what I've done
[12:06] <terminhell> sideev: your welcome. good luck
[12:06] <auronandace> sideev: no worries :)
[12:06] <Oli> Muelli & ActionParsnip: Any ideas how to extract the settings from one dconf and move them over?
[12:06] <Muelli> azbarcea_: you've got the very same errors again. Can you see that in dmesg? I don't think it make sense but to minimize the error potential, I'd remove the nvidia binary driver. If that's possible that is :-| Maybe remove all kernels after -12.
[12:07] <Muelli> Oli: not right now, but there is gconftool-2 and I'm confident, that there is a dconf-tool (or the like). Google will know.
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> Oli: not sure tbh, does dconf have a man page?
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> !find dconf
[12:08] <azbarcea_> Muelli: only -16 is after -12 left
[12:08] <terminhell> dconf exists, dbus editing
[12:08] <terminhell> dang op bot >.<
[12:08] <tensorpudding> gosh darn it, how is it possible for virtualbox-dkms to desynchronize from the kernel version
[12:08] <magentium__> Hello everyone :)
[12:10] <raahede> How do I over SSH disable the login screen on a Ubuntu 11.10 desktop ?
[12:10] <terminhell> tensorpudding: very carefully?
[12:11] <azbarcea_> Muelli: remove -16 with errors http://pastebin.com/c3ZLjGfX
[12:11] <terminhell> raahede: why would you do that? and what, like the gdm?
[12:11] <tensorpudding> so i guess if you use virtualbox in ubuntu you always have to be in fear of updates bumping the kernel version and breaking guest additions
[12:11] <iceroot> raahede: you want that the system will start with cli instead of a gui? or auto-login?
[12:12] <iceroot> tensorpudding: no
[12:12] <tensorpudding> or i guess i have to wait until someone pushes an update that fixes it
[12:12] <iceroot> tensorpudding: not if you are using everyting from the repos
[12:12] <tensorpudding> oh, i definitely am
[12:12] <Halexander9000> Can anyone help me with a minecraft issue?
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: what is the issue?
[12:12] <iceroot> tensorpudding: then normally everything should fit
[12:12] <raahede> iceroot, yes a autologin, its on my parents computer and they dosent need a logon screen when they turn on ubuntu
[12:12] <magentium__> Halexander9000 whats up? whats the issue ?
[12:12] <tensorpudding> yes, and the fact that it doesn't means someone screwed up
[12:13] <Muelli> ah yeah azbarcea_. We still haven't configured initramfs-tools *thinking*. Well. Can you get rid of your binary driver anyway?
[12:13] <azbarcea_> Muelli: u're refering to errors from dmesg at line 1299?
[12:13] <raahede> iceroot, iam supporting them via SSH, so if there is a file I just can edit, it would be perfect
[12:13] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: magentium__: Same as always I'm afraid. Clicking too fast and the mouse cursor pops out of the window and pauses my game. Can't use swords because of it.
[12:13] <Muelli> azbarcea_: probably. there's an oops caused by your nvidia driver and then it remounts two partitions read only. Both events are not good.
[12:14] <magentium__> Ahh i see. I never had that issue on mine. What version of JAVA are you using? The OpenJDK or the SunJava version?
[12:14] <magentium__> i found OpenJDK my mouse would not stay in the window.
[12:14] <Halexander9000> magentium__: Hm. How do I check?
[12:14] <Halexander9000> magentium__: Is there a terminal command for that?
[12:15] <krissed> Hmm what happens if i attempt in using sed to delete lines in a file which doesnt exist ?
[12:16] <magentium__> Halexander9000 just type in a terminal : java -version
[12:16] <magentium__> And let me know what it says
[12:16] <azbarcea_> Muelli: $ sudo apt-get -y purge nvidia* | wgetpaste : "No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" ... more http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551376/
[12:17] <Halexander9000> magentium_: OpenJDK as suspected.
[12:18] <azbarcea_> Muelli: reboot?
[12:18] <Muelli> azbarcea_: mom
[12:18] <Muelli> I'll check the output
[12:18] <meet> hi
[12:18] <meet> how do i turn on the touchpad after turning it off from the the terminal
[12:19] <magentium__> Halexander9000 give me two minutes i will get you a link to install SunJava. Its much faster and more stable
[12:19] <Halexander9000> Thanks magentium__.
[12:19] <Muelli> azbarcea_: could you do smth like dpkg-reconfigure -p low initramfs-tools ?
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> meet: could unload then reload the psmouse module
[12:19] <meet> i used sudo modprobe -r psmouse to turn off the touchpad
[12:19] <Calinou> to use sun's java, you will have to use update-alternatives
[12:20] <Calinou> download sun's java, unzip, put in /opt folder, use update-alternatives correctly
[12:20] <azbarcea_> Muelli: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: initramfs-tools is broken or not fully installed
[12:20] <meet> whats the opposite of sudo modprobe -r psmouse then?
[12:20] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Full output?
[12:20] <ann> interesting i need java for some browsing
[12:21] <azbarcea_> Muelli: that's it!
[12:21] <azbarcea_> Muelli: that's the full output :)
[12:21] <Muelli> O_o
[12:21] <meet> ok got it. used sudo modprobe psmouse
[12:21] <azbarcea_> Muelli: we have the backup ... right?
[12:21] <chilli0> Hey, I have an ubuntu headless server, and after like 1day it always dissconnects from the network, how can i figure out why this is happening?!
[12:22] <Muelli> azbarcea_: yeah, so no problem :)
[12:22] <Muelli> azbarcea_: alright. Well. reboot first. Then we'll take care of initramfs-tools
[12:22] <azbarcea_> Muelli: brb ... rebooting
[12:23] <Muelli> chilli0: Check /var/log/{syslog,daemon,debug, ...}
[12:24] <chilli0> Muelli: Can you be any more specific. i found something in syslog a few days ago, but didn't know what to think of it, i'll pb if you could have a look.
[12:24] <Muelli> well chilli0. How do you know, that is disconnects in first place? I.e. what are the symptoms?
[12:25] <raahede> iceroot, I can see in some guides, there is an easy way to do it in the GUI. In User accounts, but does it remove the SSH password aswell? because it shouldnt. Thanks in advance.
[12:25] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i'm back
[12:25] <chilli0> Muelli: i can't ping it..
[12:25] <azbarcea_> Muelli: another dmesg: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551381/
[12:26] <Muelli> chilli0: hm. How do you get access to the machine then? I.e. do you have to reboot?
[12:27] <azbarcea_> chilli0: do you have VPNs?
[12:27] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Again: EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=0 :-(
[12:27] <chilli0> yeah reboot every time, and no not that i remember. i may have tried a while ago to set one up.
[12:27] <ray1claw> I need to host a VNC server so another guy can access my PC remotely. We are not on a local network. Can anyone please explain or give me a ref link to help get around to this?
[12:27] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what are these for partitions? sda2 and sdb4?
[12:28] <azbarcea_> Muelli: sda2 is /
[12:28] <Muelli> ray1claw: maybe: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11075/how-can-i-enable-the-share-desktop-feature-in-empathy
[12:29] <azbarcea_> Muelli: sdb4 - i don't know of it: /dev/sdb1            2046   976771071   488384513    5  Extended
[12:29] <azbarcea_> /dev/sdb5            2048   976771071   488384512   83  Linux
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | ray1claw
[12:29] <ray1claw> Muelli, share desktop only shows the other guy ur desktop in realtime, and does not allow them to control it.
[12:30] <Muelli> azbarcea_: arr :-\ hm. I don't get it. It should be read only, but we wrote to /etc/ and /tmp all the time *thinking*. That's a weird message. But let's assume that it doesn't matter... Can you show us apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools again?
[12:31] <ray1claw> ubottu, i need to know how to set up a VNC server using vino or something... the GUI app sets up a local server, but when some guy puts in my global ip into vinagre, it says the server is closed
[12:31] <Muelli> ray1claw: hm. should be possible to set remote control up. Maybe with vino-preferences
[12:31] <ray1claw> Muelli, , i need to know how to set up a VNC server using vino or something... the GUI app sets up a local server, but when some guy puts in my global ip into vinagre, it says the server is closed
[12:31] <azbarcea_> Muelli: df - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551385/
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: have you port forwarded through the router?
[12:31] <Muelli> ray1claw: well. empathy is supposed to help you with that.
[12:31] <azbarcea_> Muelli: fstab - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551386/
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: why does the guy need remote desktop access? Maybe there is a sleeker solution..
[12:32] <chilli0> Muelli: yeah reboot every time, and no not that i remember. i may have tried a while ago to set one up.
[12:33] <magentium__> Currently Running Ubuntu 11.10 with the ICS Theme, looks realllllll nice. But was wondering if there were any programs that work well with Gnome3 that anyone can recommend?
[12:33] <kriestof> Hi I want to install intel G530(socket 1155) in my PC do I need thermal paste?
[12:33] <kriestof> between radiator and CPU
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> magentium__: gedit works well...
[12:34] <llutz> kriestof: yes
[12:34] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, whats the sleeker solution
[12:34] <krissed> I got a little script issue: What would the expected outcome of this do: if [-f /etc/skel/.profile.old]
[12:34] <ray1claw> Muelli, tried vino-prefs, it only sets up for the local network
[12:34] <Muelli> ray1claw: set vino up and then use emphaty
[12:35] <damo22> krissed: you need a space like so:  [ -f ..... .old  ]
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: well, what will the guy do once connected to your system?
[12:35] <azbarcea_> Muelli: you seem to be God here, everyone wants you :)
[12:35] <monohedron> !vino
[12:35] <llutz> [ -f /etc/skel/.profile.old ] krissed
[12:35] <monohedron> |vino
[12:35] <krissed> ahh thanks
[12:36] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, i need to show the guy a site ive been designing in wordpress.. since dynamic dns doesnt work, vnc is my alternate solution
[12:36] <Muelli> azbarcea_: Can you show us apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools again?
[12:36] <ray1claw> Muelli, hmm, okay, i'm looking through it now
[12:37] <krissed> damo22 and 1lutz THANKS.. I made a script which lets me pick a location of our schools and based on userinput from 1-9 it creates your bookmarks to accomodate the windows common shares
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: are you running a web server on the system?
[12:37] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, so all he'll do is access my desktop, open up the browser, and open up localhost/wordpress and localhost/wordpress/wp-admin
[12:37] <ray1claw> yep
[12:37] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i think it worked: http://pastebin.com/7xZiQxBu (besides the error)
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: why not port forward port 80 on the router to port 80 on the server and he can browse it
[12:37] <azbarcea_> Muelli: or not
[12:37] <azbarcea_> Muelli: missing /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: you just need to give him your WAN IP and he can web browse as normal.
[12:38] <Muelli> azbarcea_: no. Yeah, that's the point. Let's mkdir /etc/initramfs-tools
[12:38] <Muelli> azbarcea_: and then "sudo touch /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf". Weird though. I would have expected it to set that up for us. Something's weird anyway.
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: you don't need the full desktop for that. VNC is really OTT for that purpose.
[12:39] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i do have the directory initramfs-tools, no need to recreate it: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551387/
[12:39] <Muelli> oh, that's interesting indeed azbarcea_. So just do the touch then
[12:40] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, can you elucidate on that please? I have a modem connected in series with a router/repeater.. my modem is a beetle 220bx and i dont see any port forwarding or NAT options in there, but there are plenty of options within my router..
[12:40] <azbarcea_> Muelli: ok ... at least something new: http://pastebin.com/exTwyXgu
[12:41] <azbarcea_> Muelli: when we last did this we were in kernel -15 ... now we are in -12 (if it matters)
[12:42] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, i'd appreciate if you could help me step by step on this, 'cause I'm still a newb to all this
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: you will need to access the config of your router using your web browser, you will then go to the port forwarding (sometimes called virtual server) and tell the router to forward al requests on port 80 to the IP address of your web server
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: I can't do it step by step as routers vary massively, there is no single answer
[12:43] <Muelli> azbarcea_: WTF? /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 360: cannot create : Directory nonexistent. Arr. I have way too many of your pastebins open -.- Trying to find the script...
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: once you access your routers config page, start hunting through the options, you'll find it
[12:44] <azbarcea_> Muelli: at least ": mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 2" we have gzip 2 instead of 1 :D
[12:44] <Muelli> azbarcea_: your /bin/sh is dash again, right?
[12:44] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, I realize that, the problem is, that my modem (beetle 220bx) (accessed by putting in <IP_ADDRESS> into the browser) is a very old model and has no port-forwarding/NAT/virtual server options.. I can pastebin a screenie if you'd like
[12:45] <azbarcea_> Muelli: yep
[12:45] <azbarcea_> Muelli: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2012-02-15 13:40 /bin/sh -> dash*
[12:45] <krissed> God damn!. Its like the perfect day here.. I now can have schools install my costumized distro of ubuntu - join it to the domain - have users log on. Have each school pick their own common shares plus their own private ones.. awsome!
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: i'd check your manual, if there is no port forwarding then you are pretty stuck
[12:47] <Muelli> azbarcea_: do you remember the last bash -x you executed? I can't find it right now, but we want to do that again (but slightly different)
[12:47] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, but the wifi router (which is a different device altogether - accessed by putting in <IP_ADDRESS> into the browser) is fairly and has post forwarding in there. My question is, will it work if I forward it from there.. the heirarchy is phone cable->modem->wifi router->desktop
[12:47] <ray1claw> *fairly new
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: the modom is a transparent device so don't sweat the modem too much
[12:48] <yakc> i installed gnome 3 and some how i can't get all the shortcuts working. for example ctrl + alt + d or ctrl + alt + t is not working even they seem to be mapped in keyboard settings
[12:48] <damo22> if you have a cable modem plugged into the wan port of a router, the router sees all the ports at the wan side afaik
[12:48] <yakc> what should i do
[12:48] <azbarcea_> Muelli: this one:  sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic.new 3.0.0-16-generic 2>&1 | wgetpaste
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> yakc: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[12:49] <azbarcea_> Muelli: we don't have -16 installed to do this, I should make an apt-get isntall -16 first, right?
[12:49] <Muelli> azbarcea_: yeah, hm. do that again but with -12 and "/bin/sh" instead of "bash".
[12:49] <gulzar> lxde volume icon slider is not working and its settings are not accessible. and icon appears with dark background then others. How to do it?
[12:49] <plm> people, for start a application I'm putting the start in /etc/rc.local. for stop this app when I do a reboot/halt, where I put this command to stop app bofore machine stop?
[12:49] <yakc> ActionParsnip, it simply says oneiric
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> yakc: ok then Gnome3 is default installed. You don't have to install it manually
[12:50] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i did a sudo bash ... http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551390/
[12:50] <Muelli> azbarcea_: do it w/o bash but /bin/sh
[12:50] <azbarcea_> Muelli: but the previous one was with bash and 16
[12:50] <Muelli> azbarcea_: yeah, hm. do that again but with -12 and "/bin/sh" instead of "bash".
[12:51] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, okay, so I found virtual servers in the router settings, can you tell me what all goes in the text boxes here? The fields are labelled: Inbound port, Type(TCP/UDP), Private Address Port (192.168.2.___), Private port
[12:51] <Metaphysicist>  So I have a question for you gurus. I'm running a linux-based drive-wiping software on multiple machines with RAID controllers. I was wondering if there was a way to always correlate a number from the controller to a mount point, and make it that way every time (regardless of UUID). So Port 2 on the SAS/SATA/Whatever controller always points to /dev/sd*
[12:51] <azbarcea_> Muelli: all the output :D /bin/sh: Can't open mkinitramfs
[12:51] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I think I'll go nuts :D
[12:51] <Muelli> ah...
[12:51] <yourfrinedisaac> Hi I took 12.04 for a test drive and I get an error message that says my cpu doesn't have pae. What is pae. My cpu isnt that old.
[12:51] <Muelli> azbarcea_: make it sudo /bin/sh /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs ...
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: on your system, run:  iconfig   you will see your IP address
[12:52] <damo22> Metaphysicist, doesnt the raid controller automatically number the drives according to their slot in the bays?
[12:52] <azbarcea_> Muelli: however: "sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic.new 3.0.0-12-generic 2>&1 | wgetpaste" outputs  http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551393/
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: do you have it? It will be something like <IP_ADDRESS>  or similar
[12:53] <ray1claw> acmeinc1, iconfig or ifconfig or iwconfig?
[12:53] <Metaphysicist> damo22, that would've been my assumption also, but since the drives themselves are not running in RAID, and we pull certain ones out (as in not in sequence all the time), the controller is just a pointer for us, and sometimes it doesn't stick.
[12:53] <azbarcea_> Muelli: $ sudo /bin/sh -x /usr/bin/mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic.new 3.0.0-12-generic 2>&1
[12:53] <azbarcea_> /bin/sh: Can't open /usr/bin/mkinitramfs
[12:53] <Muelli> azbarcea_: /usr/sbin/
[12:54] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, my local ip is <IP_ADDRESS> btw
[12:54] <meet> do i need to install the recommended updates?
[12:54] <damo22> Metaphysicist, it might be worth pulling out all the drives, (labelling them of course beforehand) then put a random one into slot 0 and see if it changes when you put the same drive into slot 1
[12:54] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, iconfig or ifconfig or iwconfig?
[12:55] <azbarcea_> Muelli: no shit ... the same thing, but differs gzip 1 (bash) to gzip 2 (dash) http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551394/
[12:55] <damo22> Metaphysicist, of course dont start the raid or you'll clobber data
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: it's the inet addr:   adress
[12:55] <Metaphysicist> damo22, right, thank you, I'll give it a try
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: try both, why not :)
[12:55] <Muelli> well azbarcea_. It also says "/usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 1: cannot create : Directory nonexistent" now, doesn't it?
[12:55] <ray1claw> ActionParsnip, its <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:56] <Redrover> Local.
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> ray1claw: ok then use port 80 and forward it to that IP using the web interface
[12:56] <yourfrinedisaac> Hi I took 12.04 for a test drive and I get an error message that says my cpu doesn't have pae. What is pae?. My cpu isnt that old.
[12:56] <Redrover> Not inet.
[12:56] <meet> i am unable to install the gnome pack in unity
[12:56] <damo22> Metaphysicist, my guess is that slot0 maps to /dev/sdb and slot1 maps to /dev/sdc etc
[12:56] <meet> i tried for the 3rd  time
[12:57] <meet> it downloads 8.5 mb of something and aborts the installation
[12:57] <meet> what should i do?
[12:58] <k-rAd-> is there a solution for usb 3.0 failing part time then being restored on rsync cronjob backup  xhci_hcd ?
[12:58] <damo22> k-rAd-, what do you mean?
[12:58] <freddy__> exit
[12:58] <freddy__> exit
[12:59] <k-rAd-> i halts for a time then resumes
[12:59] <damo22> k-rAd-, i have seen usb3 issues that have not been resolved before
[12:59] <azbarcea_> Muelli: yes, you're right ...
[12:59] <Muelli> azbarcea_: no idea why that is though :-\
[12:59] <k-rAd-> i could switch to my other controller
[13:00] <damo22> k-rAd-, i suggest try usb2
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> yourfrinedisaac: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise issues please
[13:00] <meet> how to remove half installed packages
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> !pae | yourfrinedisaac
[13:00] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I appreciate your help very very much
[13:00] <azbarcea_> Muelli: thank you!
[13:01] <azbarcea_> Muelli: another backup and a plan to reinstall ...
[13:01] <yourfrinedisaac> Actionparsnip, okay thanks
[13:01] <Muelli> nah azbarcea_. Should be fixable. What did you do in first place? You mentioned that you tried to install your own kernel...
[13:03] <azbarcea_> Muelli: muon started by itself and freezed up at 97%
[13:03] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what's moun/
[13:03] <azbarcea_> Muelli: after that I did a apt-get update, upgrade witch failed with the same errors
[13:04] <azbarcea_> Muelli: Muon - Package Manager for KDE - Kubuntu
[13:04] <azbarcea_> Muelli: by default with kubuntu 11.10 ...
[13:05] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_.
[13:05] <azbarcea_> Muelli: after I saw I'm not able to reinstall kernel (dist-upgrade, witch freeze there ... I presume)
[13:06] <Muelli> azbarcea_: can you do a dpkg-reconfigure -p low initramfs-tools ? (and give us the output..)
[13:06] <azbarcea_> Muelli: i manually deleted /boot/*<IP_ADDRESS>-16*
[13:06] <azbarcea_> Muelli: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: initramfs-tools is broken or not fully installed
[13:06] <Muelli> hmpf
[13:07] <azbarcea_> Muelli: should I put the old initramfs-tools?
[13:07] <Muelli> nah
[13:07] <mynotes1> !bin
[13:08] <Muelli> alright azbarcea_. that's weird. It should at least install that properly. Let's get rid of the other error producing package: jadetex (?) can you apt-get remove that?
[13:09] <azbarcea_> Muelli: sure
[13:10] <mynotes1> hello. itrying to install citrix but I always got this error.SSL error
[13:10] <mynotes1> You have chosen to trust "AddTrust External CA Root", the issuer of ther server security certificate(SSL error 61)
[13:11] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/hN5rfgQq
[13:11] <azbarcea_> Muelli: but i think it was removed though
[13:12] <le_radis_masque> Hello !
[13:12] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Not too sure about that. dpkg -l | grep jadetex
[13:13] <azbarcea_> Muelli: pc  jadetex                               3.13-12                                 generator of printable output from SGML or XML using Jade
[13:13] <heizmann> Hi, all... well, Unable to sync sources of ubuntu-tweak software. (I'm under lucid lynx, and the package "ubuntu-tweak" comes from the launchpad: ppa:tualatrix/ppa)... Is the server down?
[13:13] <azbarcea_> Muelli: you were right
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> heizmann: http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/    looks up to me
[13:16] <tualatrix> heizmann, ActionParsnip oh, you mean the "Source Center"?
[13:16] <le_radis_masque>  Could you help me with a bash script please ? I'm looking for a command which will clean the keyboard entry (I'm sorry if I don't speak correctly, I'm French, don't hesitate to correct me :) )
[13:17] <Muelli> so why is that failing, azbarcea_? Let's find out. Can you cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/jadetex.posting | wgetpaste?
[13:17] <Muelli> no. wait
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> tualatrix: no, the ppa is up as the link I posted is browsable
[13:17] <Muelli> so why is that failing, azbarcea_? Let's find out. Can you cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/jadetex.postrm | wgetpaste?
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> heizmann: I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer
[13:18] <azbarcea_> Muelli: cat: /var/lib/dpkg/info/jadetex.posting: No such file or directory
[13:18] <Muelli> azbarcea_: yeah. sorry. the second one
[13:18] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551403/
[13:18] <heizmann> tualatrix: yes, the "source center" is "down" (sorry, I'm French, bad English)
[13:19] <theadmin> !fr | heizmann
[13:19] <chilli0> Hey, i want to get my VPN working correctly, this is my error. http://pastebin.com/mfw4zZE7
[13:19] <theadmin> chilli0: pptp?
[13:20] <chilli0> theadmin: yeah
[13:20] <Muelli> azbarcea_: What does: sudo sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/jadetex.postrm purge    say?
[13:20] <theadmin> chilli0: If so, just use the "pptpsetup" binary found in "pptp-linux", it does all of the messy configuration for you, and you just have to "pon whatever"
[13:20] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/yJ78Z6P7
[13:21] <Muelli> hm.
[13:21] <chilli0> theadmin: ah okay, thanks.
[13:22] <heizmann> tualatrix: well, in the ubuntu-tweak graphical interface: when I try to synchronize in "Programs: software sources": a window appears and the message is: "An error occured while downloading the file."
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> heizmann: its not supported here
[13:23] <tualatrix> heizmann, yes, I can confirm the download server is error, please wait the fix.
[13:24] <Muelli> azbarcea_: so can you do a sudo /bin/sh -x /usr/sbin/update-texmf
[13:25] <heizmann> tualatrix: Ok, the problem comes not from in my configuration.
[13:25] <heizmann> ^^
[13:25] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://pastebin.com/RZzJwQRj
 heizmann: its not supported here ← what do you mean, pleas?
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> heizmann: ubuntu-tweak is not in the official ubuntu repos, so is not supported here
[13:26] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. Do you have a /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf ?
[13:26] <qmr1> What is the proper way to remove a PPA from the command line?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: sudo ppa-purge address
[13:27] <heizmann> ActionParsnip: ok :)
[13:27] <mun_> hi
[13:27] <azbarcea_> Muelli: yep ... i have both files
[13:27] <mun> does anyone know how to convert a disk from gpt to mbr without losing data?
[13:27] <qmr1> ActionParsnip: that's what I found on google bu tI don't have that command installed
[13:27] <azbarcea_> Muelli: /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty and /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: not thought to install it then...?
[13:27] <azbarcea_> Muelli: and my limit for pastebin for today is over ... :)
[13:28] <Muelli> :D
[13:28] <Muelli> sorry about that
[13:28] <qmr1> ActionParsnip: what is the package name?
[13:28] <raahede> Anybody who also have problems with logitech bluetooth combo keyboard and mouse, on ubuntu desktop?
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: guess.. it's pretty obvious in this case
[13:28] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I'll use https://gist.github.com/
[13:28] <qmr1> ActionParsnip: ... it's not in the standard repos?
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> !info ppa-purge | qmr1
[13:29] <Muelli> azbarcea_: I have no idea what's wrong with your machine. I'm inclined to believe it's the drive but it doesn't seem to be an obvious issue.
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: wanna bet
[13:29] <azbarcea_> Muelli: Thank you a lot!
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: its in the universe repo
[13:29] <Muelli> so azbarcea_, let's follow it down the road. Can you do sudo /bin/sh -x /usr/bin/ucf --debconf-ok --three-way /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: if you run a command and its not installed, the OS will suggest the packagename to install
[13:29] <branant> what commands do you usually run after upgrading packages? updated, ldconfig?
[13:30] <azbarcea_> Muelli: the same ucf: Unable to determine The new file
[13:30] <Muelli> azbarcea_: but with a lot of output, no?
[13:30] <tbic> I'm having an issue where after my monitors come back after screen blanking I can not click on anything. can someone point me in some direction to try and fix this?
[13:30] <qmr1> ActionParsnip: I have universe enabled, still not showing up ..
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> branant: upgrade definately, then install my usual apps and uninstall all the guff I don't use or don't like
[13:30] <heizmann> tualatrix: Can I ask you a question concerning the server, please? :)
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
[13:31] <tualatrix> heizmann, yes, of course
[13:31] <qmr1> E: Couldn't find package ppa-purge
[13:31] <azbarcea_> Muelli: yes with a lot of output, the same I pasted you some lines ago
[13:31] <qmr1> like I already said
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:31] <Muelli> azbarcea_: can you paste the whole thing again?
[13:32] <qmr1> ... I can pastebin that file.  I don't have gedit, this is a server
[13:32] <karthick87> How to poweroff all live  machines remotely?
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: ok, then run:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:32] <heizmann> tualatrix: what is the ip of the server? :) well, that way I could ping myself to see if it is up or down (during the day ^^)
[13:32] <raahede> tbic, I have the same issue, so if you find a solution please pm me.
[13:32] <qmr1> I'll just copy and paste.
[13:32] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551408/
[13:33] <tualatrix> heizmann, http://ubuntu-tweak.com it is not down, just the download file is error
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: pastebinit is a cli pastebin command, dead handy
[13:33] <qmr1> except it only supports bad pastebins
[13:33] <tbic> raahede, do you have an ati graphics card?
[13:33] <qmr1> anyhoo, here is sources file http://pastebin.com/t2cHduT3
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: you can give an option to use a different bin, not sure what a bad pastebni is tbh
[13:34] <beike_t> could I open a .rp file(Axure Pro) directly on ubuntu? just read is ok.
[13:34] <heizmann> tualatrix: oh, ok, I understand :) !!!... thanks, by the way, ubuntu-tweak is good software. ;)
[13:34] <heizmann> I love it.
[13:34] <qmr1> ActionParsnip: copying line numbers w source code, font that makes it hard to distinguish between 1 and l, O and 0, tiny font, among other things
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> !info ppa-purge lucid
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: ok, basically the PPAs make files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d    if you delete the files in that folder relating to the PPA, it will do the same thing
[13:36] <qmr1> thanks.  just read to do that on a page
[13:36] <tualatrix> heizmann, I'm glad that you like it :) Enjoy
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> qmr1: strange it's not in there
[13:36] <raahede> tbic, no I have a intel GMA 4500MHD. Its only in one of my laptops (thinkpad 0196-2EG). which is a partition install aside windows 7. But in my other laptop there is no problems at all (thikpad T41), the difference is that the T41 has a full ubuntu desktop install..
[13:37] <heizmann> tualatrix: work again? ^^'
[13:37] <raahede> tbic, so I dont know if it is the partition install that fails?
[13:38] <heizmann> ...mmhhh, not for yet... not enough fixing ^^... well, I try this later tualatrix :)
[13:38] <Lunex> hi all! i want to send my pc to standby instantly when pressing the power button - but i cant get rid of the shutdown dialogue which asks me what to do (shown,reboot etc.) is there any way to override windomanagers und directly react on the power button?
[13:38] <heizmann> not yet*
[13:39] <tbic> raahede, I only started noticing the issues when I installed a new graphics card.
[13:39] <delinquentme> hey all could you guys explain the concept of a "mount point" when running the ubuntu installer to prepare partitions?
[13:39] <Yabden> mount points are different directories
[13:40] <Yabden> if you want a different partition for the /boot/ directory, for example, you could make one
[13:40] <Yabden> all you really need though is a swap partition and another partition mounted as /
[13:40] <delinquentme> Yabden, so how will this influence my bootup .. I'd like GRUB to handle the boot
[13:41] <Yabden> it won't influence it, it's a bit advanced and mostly used for specific things
[13:41] <delinquentme> if i were installing it over a existing windows install
[13:41] <delinquentme> ohh ok
[13:41] <delinquentme> but most of the time i'd want just good old /
[13:41] <Yabden> yeah, / and swap is all you need
[13:41] <delinquentme> ok cool got both of those! thansk!
[13:42] <theadmin> I suggest separate /home too
[13:42] <theadmin> Makes reinstalls so much easier
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> +1
[13:42] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what does readlink -q -m /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty  give yuo?
[13:42] <azbarcea_> Muelli: ... do you have any other tricks?
[13:42] <azbarcea_> Muelli: nothing
[13:42] <raahede> tbic, okay weird, my T41 has a ATI graffic card and there is no problems. Maybe it could be some graffic cards models? :( Hope there is an answer for this, its really annoying
[13:43] <azbarcea_> Muelli: $ readlink -q -m /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty
[13:43] <azbarcea_> $
[13:43] <Muelli> so nothing that is, azbarcea_..? Which exit code?
[13:44] <azbarcea_> Muelli: no output what so ever!
[13:44] <Muelli> ah azbarcea_. remove the -q.
[13:44] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what does readlink -m /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty  give you?
[13:44] <azbarcea_> Muelli: same - no output what so ever!
[13:44] <Muelli> and immediately echo $? afterwards?
[13:45] <azbarcea_> Muelli: 1
[13:45] <raahede> tbic,  I have read something on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze
[13:45] <raahede> tbic, maybe you should have a look at that.
[13:45] <heizmann> ...mmhhh, is there a solution to create a live iso, like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch but with the possibility to implement a luks container (cryptsetup), with some logical volumes like /, /home, /usr... inside the crypt luks container? (with an automatic mount) ?
[13:45] <phix> hi gang
[13:45] <c31r2g> hello phix
[13:46] <heizmann> logical volumes == with lvm2... :)
[13:46] <c31r2g> phix:remember me,thanks for the help yesterday!
[13:46] <tbic> raahede, Thanks I will look into it, I think I have already and my logs do not show anything unsual.
[13:46] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what does readlink -v -m /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty  give you?
[13:47] <phix> c31r2g: yay
[13:48] <phix> c31r2g: any time
[13:48] <azbarcea_> Muelli: readlink doesn't return anything, but if i give it with /bin/readlink ... than we have something
[13:48] <phix> you have more questiona?
[13:48] <azbarcea_> Muelli: /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty
[13:49] <c31r2g> thanks phix :)
[13:49] <c31r2g> not atm phix.:)
[13:49] <Muelli> oh, wait a second
[13:49] <phix> :D
[13:49] <Spartacus112358> Hi guys, I have a NVIDIA quadro nvs 120M and I'm running ubuntu, my problem is that I can't enable unity 3d even with proprietary drivers....any suggestion?
[13:49] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what's type -a readlink ?
[13:49] <phix> Muelli: You require assistance now?
[13:50] <azbarcea_> Muelli: readlink is /usr/bin/readlink
[13:50] <azbarcea_> readlink is /bin/readlink
[13:50] <Muelli> hm. funny.
[13:51] <azbarcea_> Muelli: so /usr/bin/readlink is the one that does not outputs anything
[13:51] <geirha> azbarcea_: What does   file /usr/bin/readlink   say?
[13:51] <azbarcea_> Muelli: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     27 2012-02-13 11:04 /usr/bin/readlink -> /usr/lib/klibc/bin/readlink*
[13:52] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I'll just erase that symlink and point recrete it to /bin/readlink
[13:52] <Muelli> hm azbarcea_. dunno yet.
[13:52] <Muelli> azbarcea_: Maybe do a dpkg -S /usr/bin/readlink  first
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> wow Spartacus112358 hung around long.. haha
[13:53] <azbarcea_> Muelli: $ sudo dpkg -S /usr/bin/readlink
[13:53] <azbarcea_> dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/readlink.
[13:54] <Muelli> azbarcea_: ? So who put that symlink there? what does dpkg -S /usr/lib/klibc/bin/readlink  say?
[13:54] <heizmann> Please :) is there a good, nice tutorial to learn how to create live systems? (basing on ubuntu)? With debootstrap, chroot techniques etc. (like this tuto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch ) which use only the terminal? I wish I could create a live system like this, but using cryptsetup (luks) and logical volume management (with lvm2). It is certainly possible, but how?
[13:54] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I think I did it 2012-02-13 ... but I can't recall why
[13:55] <geirha> Apparently part of klibc-utils package
[13:55] <azbarcea_> Muelli: it had to do somthing with the fact that readlink was missing ... and I found a version of readlink in klibc ...
[13:55] <Muelli> yes azbarcea_. Remove the symlink.  Never do such a thing >.<
[13:56] <anli__> When I try to start libre office calc, I only get a splash screen
[13:56] <anli__> Started today
[13:56] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what else have you modified? maybe a find with the appropriate parameters will help *digging the man page*
[13:56] <anli__> The same with the other libre office products
[13:56] <anli__> What can I do?
[13:56] <kroonrs> Hi.  My evince print dialog keeps only giving my home printer, although I am now at work and a work printer is set up as the default using a remote cups server.  How do I get evince to refresh it's printer list?
[13:57] <prashant_123456> why i cannot login using ctrl+alt+f1 while i am using correct password it says incorrect login????
[13:57] <Yabden> try opening libre office calc using a terminal
[13:57] <Yabden> it will tell you the error it is experiencing loading
[13:57] <chilli0> Hello, I've setup a vpn server and I can connect and also go to the internet but for some reason you don't need a password or anything to log on, could anyone help me set this up?
[13:57] <Muelli> azbarcea_: what does "find /usr/bin/ -ctime +1" say? Hopefully not too much -.-
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> Yabden: what if you rename ~/.libreoffice   ?
[13:58] <anli__> Yabden: Good idea, [Java framework] Error in function createSettinsgDocument (elements.cxx).
[13:58] <anli__> ActionParsnip: I removed it
[13:58] <anli__> Ah, wait, maybe I have a full hd
[13:58] <azbarcea_> Muelli: blody hell: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551426/
[13:58] <anli__> ah, thats it
[13:58] <anli__> Must remove some files and try again :)
[13:58] <Muelli> ah, no worries azbarcea_. Maybe wrong find arguments -.-
[13:59] <chilli0> Hello, I've setup a vpn server and I can connect and also go to the internet but for some reason you don't need a password or anything to log on, could anyone help me set this up?
[14:00] <Muelli> azbarcea_: try with mtime instead of ctime. ctime is bad. it updates as soon as you access a file...
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> anli__: clean out old kernels. May also want to run:  sudo apt-get clean
[14:00] <azbarcea_> Muelli: same http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551427/
[14:01] <anli__> yeah
[14:01] <anli__> Wonder why I cant get an error dialog
[14:01] <anli__> Thats what I expect on this kind of errors
[14:01] <anli__> Whats so hard with writing "there is no disk space left so libre office could not run" :)
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> anli__: that'll do it
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> anli__: could report a bug
[14:02] <zikos> hi...after I installed laptop mode tools my ubuntu freezes totally about every 45mins...does anyone know why this happens??
[14:02] <azbarcea_> Muelli: lets see if that readlink solved the problem ... I do not recall other symlinks to be made in /usr/bin
[14:02] <anli__> hm, cant even empty trash can
[14:02] <Muelli> ok azbarcea_. leave it then. Let's hope there is no more stuff. Do the update-texmf again
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> anli__: also if you install and run bleachbit, you can free lots of space. have as amany apps closed as possible, avoid settings which say they will take a long time and watch settings or it will remove stuff you want. You will get a lot of space back
[14:03] <azbarcea_> history | grep texmf
[14:03] <Yabden> zikos you could try checking /var/log/messages
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> anli__: also uninstalling old kernels frees up LOADS of space (120Mb per kernel)
[14:03] <anli__> apt-get clean was nice howerver
[14:03] <anli__> Oh, I never download those
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> anli__: what, new kernels?
[14:04] <anli__> yeah, new kernels
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> anli__: ok thats one thing to not worry about then
[14:04] <anli__> I am so happy with the already running one :)
[14:04] <azbarcea_> Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551431/
[14:05] <Muelli> azbarcea_: so it seems to work \o/
[14:05] <Muelli> azbarcea_: do aptitude purge jadetex then
[14:05] <azbarcea_> Muelli: not quite ... that is not the regular output
[14:05] <azbarcea_> Muelli: that is the error output
[14:05] <kroonrs> Hi.  My evince print dialog keeps only giving my home printer, although I am now at work and a work printer is set up as the default using a remote cups server.  How do I get evince to refresh it's printer list? (what's protocol on re-asking?)
[14:05] <Muelli> azbarcea_: why not? Try purging
[14:05] <azbarcea_> Muelli: alex@horus:~$ sudo bash -x /usr/sbin/update-texmf 2>&1 | wgetpaste
[14:06] <azbarcea_> Muelli: if I don't redirect 2 to 1 ...  Hope you learned to not burn your, and more importantly: my time by symlinking wildly in your $PATH ;-)
[14:09] <Muelli> but azbarcea_. That doesn't necessarily bring you your kernel and initramfs back. So aptitude install linux-image
[14:09] <azbarcea_> Muelli: I simply forgot about that!  That was a long hunt for an incompatible readlink implementation.
[14:10] <zikos> Yabden, how do I do that
[14:10] <Muelli> azbarcea_: you might as well file a bug against that implementation. I.e. ubuntu-bug klibc-utils
[14:10] <Yabden> open a terminal and do: sudo cat /var/log/messages | more
[14:10] <Muelli> azbarcea_: and include your test vector in the bugreport.
[14:11] <Yabden> there will likely be something in that file saying why your OS froze
[14:11] <azbarcea_> Muelli: test vector?
[14:11] <Muelli> azbarcea_: don't forget to aptitude install kubuntu-desktop jadetex again.
[14:11] <prashant_123456> why i cannot login in console using ubuntu 11.10
[14:11] <Muelli> azbarcea_: yeah, the readlink calls that produce a different result.
[14:12] <azbarcea_> Muelli: https://gist.github.com/6146446360ef3237d460
[14:12] <Muelli> azbarcea_: :) nice
[14:13] <azbarcea_> Muelli: how to I reinstall kernel -16 and all stuff and to be sure I'm ... with the daily stuff
[14:13] <Chipzzz> prashant_123456: do you get a login prompt?
[14:13] <Muelli> azbarcea_: aptitude install kubuntu-desktop jadetex linux-image
[14:13] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: can you login with the details on the desktop?
[14:13] <zikos> Yabden, no such file or directory :/
[14:14] <Bobby> Hi
[14:14] <prashant_123456> Chipzzz, yep i can login using gnome but when i try to login using ctrl+alt+f1 it says incorrect login kroonrs
[14:14] <Yabden> ahh, maybe it's in a different place in ubuntu then
[14:15] <prashant_123456> Chipzzz, kroonrs any suggestions
[14:15] <azbarcea_> Muelli: thank you very much - https://gist.github.com/7acc267db8e20bde9e00
[14:15] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: try running "grep <username> /etc/passwd" on the terminal, with the username you are trying to log in with
[14:16] <zikos> Yabden, what do you use - Debian? :D
[14:16] <Yabden> yeah, debian
[14:17] <Muelli> azbarcea_: you're welcome. I'll tell you once I happen to be in Romania to grab a cold beer ;-)
[14:17] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, sorry i dont understand i can use terminal
[14:17] <azbarcea_> Muelli: it will be my pleasure!
[14:17] <Chipzzz> prashant_123456: i would try logging in with the recovery console and changing the password
[14:18] <prashant_123456> Chipzzz, i have changed the password and can login using gnome and have access to everything
[14:19] <prashant_123456> Chipzzz, but login incorrect at console while i use ctrl+alt+f1
[14:19] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: I think the problem is that your username on console login is _not_ the name displayed when you log in on gnome
[14:19] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: to find out the correct name, open the file explorer
[14:19] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, then
[14:20] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: click on file system on the left
[14:20] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: and then home
[14:20] <heizmann> Please :) is there a good, nice tutorial to learn how to create live systems? (basing on ubuntu)? With debootstrap, chroot techniques etc. (like this tuto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch ) which use only the terminal? I wish I could create a live system like this, but using cryptsetup (luks) and logical volume management (with lvm2). It is certainly possible, but how?
[14:20] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: i.e. the filder on the right saying "home"
[14:20] <Chipzzz> prashant_123456: that's why i suggest logging in with the recovery console and changing the password... that will make your root password whatever you change it to
[14:20] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: how many folders are inside that home folder?
[14:21] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, 10 folders
[14:21] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: do any look like they could be yours?
[14:21] <zallfaizall> hey guy
[14:22] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: you should perhaps only have access to one - the name of the folder _should_ be your username
[14:22] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, i let me try that
[14:23] <Guest11532> why are people volunteering here? what motivates you?
[14:23] <pros977> synergy -- check  vpn --check coffee --check
[14:23] <pros977> good morning ubuntu
[14:23] <ikonia> Guest11532: that doesn't really matter, people are here to help.
[14:23] <bazhang> Guest11532, disc uss in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[14:24] <Guest11532> ikonia, I am asking because It matters to me at least
[14:24] <Guest11532> bazhang, ok
[14:25] <Chipzzz> Guest11532: i'm intrigued by your response that it matters to you... are you researching something?
[14:25] <yashshah> I've the same problem as prashant_123456
[14:25] <Pici> Chipzzz: please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here.
[14:25] <Chipzzz> Pici: sorry, you're right
[14:27] <prashant_123456> yashshah, any solutions
[14:28] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: did it work for you?
[14:28] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, nope
[14:28] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, any other solutions
[14:29] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: go to the dash home and run "terminal"
[14:29] <TiG3r> Salve
[14:29] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, ok
[14:29] <bazhang> !it | TiG3r
[14:29] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, then
[14:30] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: on the terminal, try running "grep "User Name" /etc/passwd" on the terminal, with the username you are trying to log in with
[14:30] <danileigh79> Every time I reboot my computer, I have to use the fw cutter tools to re-enable my wifi, how can I change that?
[14:30] <orated> Hello! I'm finding delay in boot time and these are the bootcharts for last two booting - http://imagebin.org/199031 http://imagebin.org/199035 . I'm not too much concerned about boot time but can anyone explain me what exactly is consuming time and how can I fix it?
[14:31] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: you should get some colon-separated fields, with User Name in the fifth field
[14:32] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, there what should i find
[14:32] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: you should get some colon-separated fields, with User Name in the fifth field
[14:32] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: your login name for the console is in the first field
[14:33] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
[14:33] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, its the first line
[14:33] <DarkStar1> quick question, my vps only has 10.04 as the only ubuntu option to install but I need 11.10 (oneiric) in order to be able to install one of the openStack cloud tech. Can I install Lucid and do a dist-upgrade to oneiric?
[14:34] <slingshot> Hi, I would like to install lightdm on my natty is it safe? Will I get the same appearance of lightdm as in oneiric?
[14:34] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: ok, so then it's not the login name that's a problem.  Can you on the terminal run "su root"
[14:34] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, yep
[14:35] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: does it prompt you for a password?
[14:35] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, yep
[14:35] <danileigh79> Every time I reboot my laptop (11.10) the wifi is disabled. I have to use sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-<IP_ADDRESS>/driver/wl_apsta_mimo.o
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: wait until April and install Precise :)
[14:35] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: hold on a sec: are you actually logged in to your gui as root?
[14:35] <cristian_c> Hi
[14:35] <danileigh79> along with sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb & sudo modprobe b43 to reenble it, how do I make it enabled permanently
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: if you have lucid and want Oneiric you will need to upgrade to Maverick, then natty then oneiric
[14:36] <cristian_c> I'm using Oneiric Ocelot 11.10, I purchased an asus WL-330gE. The device shields the connection to the router, unfortunately I have to first establish a direct connection to the router, and then the computer automatically snaps to a repeater. But if the PC tries to connect to the router via the repeater, it fails
[14:36] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, it says auth failure while i put password in it
[14:36] <cristian_c> the network manager tries to connect several times, but it fails to connect. So I updated the firmware to the latest version, from version <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS>, but unfortunately the problem persists
[14:36] <kroonrs> prashant_123456: are you actually logged in to your gui as root? if so, you would not be prompted for a password when you typed "su root", I think.
[14:36] <cristian_c> What can I do to solve the problem?
[14:37] <meskarune> daniLEIGH79: sounds like you have power saving on
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> kroonrs: that would be a bad idea too
[14:37] <slingshot> Hi, I would like to install lightdm on my natty is it safe? Will I get the same appearance of lightdm as in oneiric?
[14:37] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, but it requires password
[14:37] <meskarune> danileigh79: powersaving will turn off the wifi card to save battery life
[14:37] <yashshah> prashant_123456: I'am also looking for the solution
[14:37] <DarkStar1> ActionParsnip: a 3 step upgrade. No other way?
[14:37] <danileigh79> meskarune: No, I mean everytime I reboot, Ubuntu loads without wifi support and I have to reenable it with the fwcutter and modprobe tools
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: no, you have to stop at the next release, if you wait til April you can upgrade from LTS to LTS and get 12.04
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: there is no root password, and the account is disabled...
[14:38] <DarkStar1> ActionParsnip: Lucid is 10.04 right? and from 10.04-11.10 I have to do 10.10, then 11.04 then 11.10
[14:38] <kroonrs> prashant_123456, yashshah: I have to go now, unfortunately.  It seems you are not logged in as root, so root can't be the correct login credentials for you.
[14:38] <slingshot>  I would like to install lightdm on my natty ,is it safe? Will I get the same appearance of lightdm as in oneiric? Someone advice me !
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: yes lucid == 10.04
[14:39] <prashant_123456> kroonrs, thanks for the help
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: yes you need to upgrade through each release consquetively. Or just clean install Oneiric
[14:39] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, so what to do
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: log in as your user and use that, when you need admin (root) access, use sudo. Its how the OS is designed
[14:39] <yashshah> prashant_123456: It is solved
[14:40] <prashant_123456> yashshah,  tell me how
[14:40] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, i have root password
[14:40] <slingshot> can someone suggest whether should I install lightdm on natty? Is someone kind enough to answer?
[14:40] <prashant_123456> yashshah, ??
[14:40] <yashshah> prashant_123456: Your password contains any number?
[14:41] <prashant_123456> yashshah, yep
[14:41] <danileigh79> slingshot: try it, if it doesn't work then you can uninstall it
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: its not supported here, and its not advised, or needed
[14:41] <yashshah> prashant_123456:Dun type with numpad, type it with the no. above the alphabets
[14:41] <DarkStar1> I thought 11.04 was LTS
[14:41] <prashant_123456> yashshah, ok
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: 8.04, 10.04, 12.04   are LTS
[14:41] <prashant_123456> yashshah, let me try
[14:41] <danileigh79> DarkStar1: nope, 20.04
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> DarkStar1: the intermediate releases are not
[14:41] <danileigh79> DarkStar1: nope, 10.04
[14:41] <yashshah> prashant_123456: Okay! Good luck!
[14:41] <slingshot> uhh, what if something goes wrong? how can I get back to gdm then danileigh79?
[14:41] <DarkStar1> Ok thanks
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: if you use the OS as it is intended, you will have fewer issues. Autologging in as root is REALLY dumb
[14:42] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, ok
[14:43] <prashant_123456> yashshah, it worked for me
[14:43] <prashant_123456> yashshah, ActionParsnip good job
[14:43] <yashshah> prashant_123456: Thank you!
[14:43] <aQute> how to install skype on 12.04 its not there in software center
[14:43] <prashant_123456> yashshah, ActionParsnip but why i cant use num pad ?
[14:43] <jpds> aQute: → #ubuntu+1
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: does it make events in xev?

[14:44] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, xev ??
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: its a terminal command
[14:44] <yashshah> prashant_123456: Anytime buddy!
[14:44] <Lordveda> I have some problem with the GPG keys for ubuntu version 11.10
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: what is the issue
[14:45] <Lordveda> Synaptic is complaining of some problem, I will issue the message if possible
[14:45] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, yep something is there when i type xev
[14:45] <Lordveda> The message is a warming
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  sudo apt-get update
[14:46] <Lordveda> ok
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: but when you press the numpad, does it make events?
[14:46] <prashant_123456> ActionParsnip, yep
[14:46] <yashshah> ActionParsnip: Yeah it makes!
[14:46] <rojdy> allahu akbar
[14:47] <Lordveda> ActionParsnip: in a moment
[14:47] <rojdy> got is great!!!!
[14:47] <bazhang> rojdy, ubuntu support question?
[14:47] <yashshah> prashant_123456: I also found the solution for numpad
[14:47] <prashant_123456> yashshah, tell me
[14:48] <arnsa> Hey guyz, could any1 help me to install FL Studio 9?
[14:48] <Aelingil> is there an easy way to change the order of OS's on the Grub boot menu? So i can get "previous versions" at the bottom, and "current" versions on the top?
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> prashant_123456: cool, the hard bit is done, not sure how to map it and stuff. Does the keyboard have a make / model?
[14:48] <yashshah> prashant_123456: see when it ask the username... press the num lock key and check if it is showing any number or not
[14:48] <bazhang> arnsa, whats fl studio
[14:49] <arnsa> bazhang, it's a program to create music
[14:49] <bazhang> arnsa, windows app?
[14:49] <arnsa> bazhang, yes, look at the problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1925901
[14:49] <prashant_123456> yashshah, no its not showing
[14:49] <bazhang> arnsa, use wine, check appdb then join #winehq
[14:49] <Lordveda> http://pastebin.com/SsByvnfR
[14:49] <bazhang> !appdb | arnsa
[14:49] <Lordveda> ActionParsnip: this is the link
[14:50] <yashshah> prashant_123456: initially it will not work... then press num lock key and try pressing numbers from numpad.. repeat it for 2-3 times it will work!
[14:50] <prashant_123456> yashshah, ok
[14:50] <arnsa> !Windows
[14:50] <arnsa> !wine
[14:51] <arnsa> !wine
[14:51] <prashant_123456> yashshah, yep
[14:51] <bazhang> http://appdb.winehq.org arnsa
[14:51] <prashant_123456> yashshah, it worked
[14:51] <yashshah> prashant_123456: Cool! :)
[14:51] <bazhang> arnsa, /join #winehq
[14:52] <arnsa> bazhang, a lot of ppl have installed this program so it's rly compatible with wine and linux
[14:52] <arnsa> I just can't find the way how to solve this problem
[14:52] <bazhang> arnsa, great. then ask in #winehq
[14:52] <arnsa> bazhang, already did it, but no one answers
[14:54] <prashant_123456> yashshah, indian ?
[14:54] <theadmin> arnsa: Well this channel doesn't offer support for Windows application. People here can help you install wine on Ubuntu or get wine itself to work, but not wine/windows apps.
[14:55] <theadmin> s/application/\1s/gi
[14:56] <anli__> Is there an application I can run on the command line, piping in data that will as a result go into the clipboard?
[14:57] <theadmin> anli__: Well, the clipboard is an X thing
[14:57] <anli__> yes?
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: reading
[14:57] <theadmin> anli__: But... there is xclip which does that.
[14:57] <llutz> !info  xclip   | anli__
[14:57] <theadmin> !info xclip | anli_
[14:57] <anli__> ah, must check
[14:57] <anli__> tried ls -l | xclip
[14:58] <theadmin> anli__: You need to install it first though
[14:58] <anli__> Its already installed
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: should add the keys
[14:59] <Lordveda> ActionParsnip: Good points
[14:59] <Lordveda> :)
[14:59] <theadmin> anli__: I have to point out that it uses the global X keyboard, not your desktops. So, middle-click to paste what has been copied by xclip. You can also just select some text and middle-click to paste the selected text, works in any desktop
[14:59] <theadmin> err
[15:00] <theadmin> s/keyboard/clipboard/
[15:00] <theadmin> wtf brain
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: I have that in a script called getkey
[15:00] <anli__> theadmin: Seems that I cannot paste using programs menus, I have to use the middle mouse button
[15:00] <theadmin> anli__: Yesh, just explained why
[15:00] <anli__> In other words, ubuntu has its own clipboard that xclip does not interact with
[15:00] <Lordveda> ActionParsnip: Good attitude as well
[15:00] <anli__> oh, sorry
[15:00] <Lordveda> :)
[15:00] <theadmin> anli__: Gnome has it's own clipboard, yeah
[15:00] <anli__> so there should be a gnome version of xclip for this to work then
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Lordveda: hope it helps :)
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> anli__: does xclip not work?
[15:01] <anli__> I guess such an app would be named gclip
[15:01] <anli__> Well, actually I should maybe just accept to use mmb
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> anli__: parcellite may have a cli interface
[15:02] <david__> helo

[15:03] <david__> hello anyone on
[15:03] <Guest66313> yes
[15:03] <bazhang> david__, ubuntu support issue?
[15:04] <david__> how do i solve this
[15:04] <Lordveda> ActionParsnip: Same warning again despite the adding
[15:04] <ikonia> solve what ?
[15:05] <Aelingil> is there an easy way to change the order of OS's on the Grub boot menu? So i can get "previous versions" at the bottom, and "current" versions on the top?
[15:05] <david__> xhero35 hi
[15:05] <bazhang> david__, whats the issue, ask the channel
[15:05] <sanjeev90an>  how can i change the permissions of files on external hard disk/ usb storage?
[15:06] <Lordveda> The warning says there is an error during the signature verification. and the repository is not updated what possibly could be the origin of this problem?
[15:08] <Guest66313> anyone have problem?

[15:09] <rabbi1> hi, I think my gnome in 10.04 is half dead. unable to see the screen (GUI) anyway i am in CTRL+ALT+F1. how can i reset gnome settings ?
[15:10] <UICTamale1> hey all, can I configure my laptop screen to actually turn off instead of just going black when it locks?
 can you open recovery mode
[15:11] <rabbi1> _zero0: tried that but no luck, now i did reset gnome, but i think i have a problem with Xorg,,, oops
[15:12] <rabbi1> help me out.... :(
[15:12] <rabbi1> I am on 10.04, on AMD Athlon 64 bit, with inbuilt nvidia ....
[15:13] <Sidewinder1> Aelingil, That is the way my Grub (Legacy), is by default; most recent versions at the top and previous below that.
[15:14] <rabbi1> _zero0: recovery mode, din't change anything ... :(
[15:15] <Aelingil> Sidewinder1, I have 11.10 and 11.04. However on grub it shows 11.10 then "Previous versions" then 11.04, then "previous versions".. i am trying to get 11.10 and 11.04 next to each other.
[15:16] <rabbi1> hi, my ubuntu is half dead ,,,, :(
[15:17] <rabbi1> can't load xorg .....
[15:19] <meskarune> rabbi1: did you isntall something that could have broken your xorg ?
[15:19] <h00k> !broken | rabbi1
[15:19] <jxi> Is it possible to run tomcat7 on Ubuntu oneiric with openjdk-7 instead of default-jdk (aka  openjdk-6)?
[15:20] <WarDekar> hey i'm trying to get a PPTP VPN working from the command line on 10.04 LTS and having issues... I think I can get it to connect to the VPN server, but I'm having trouble routing all traffic through the VPN from the CLI
[15:20] <theadmin> WarDekar: sudo route add default dev ppp0
[15:20] <theadmin> WarDekar: All done :P
[15:20] <rabbi1> meskarune: nothing at all :(
[15:20] <WarDekar> theadmin: thanks let me try that out
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: nice
[15:21] <Sidewinder1> Aelingil, I'm pretty sure that in Grub Legacy, one could simply edit (after making a back-up copy, of course) the menu.lst file to accomplish what you want. I'm not sure that would work with Grub 2. I'm on 10.04, and sorry I can't be more effective in my efforts to help you.
[15:22] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: What is, the route command? I got it off my ex-ISPs website, works for most PPTP providers just fine
[15:22] <fidel> question: where can i disable the automatic launch of f-spot after connecting a memory-card with images? f-spots prefs seem to not have that function - so i expect it somewhere outside f-spot
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: looks ok to me
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: might need gw option maybe
[15:23] <WarDekar> theadmin: when i do that i get booted from the server and have to reboot it, i'm assuming this means it's not connecting to the VPN?
[15:23] <theadmin> WarDekar: Hm, probably. Either way, to set up a PPTP vpn connection use the "pptpsetup" program, it does all the dirty work for you
[15:23] <yourfrinedisaac> can one upgrade safely from 32bit to 64bit ubuntu?
[15:23] <theadmin> yourfrinedisaac: Nope
[15:23] <jpds> yourfrinedisaac: No.
[15:24] <WarDekar> okay possible I set some config things wrong I was editing a bunch of diff files trying to set this thing up

[15:25] <WarDekar> right reading the help right now
[15:25] <yourfrinedisaac> theadmin, and jpds, thanks lol
[15:25] <jpds> yourfrinedisaac: Sure.
[15:26] <WarDekar> oh yeah I remember this, when i tried doing it this way before: "FATAL: Module ppp_compress_18 not found | /usr/sbin/pptpsetup: couldn't find MPPE support in kernel."
[15:26] <theadmin> WarDekar: Maybe try without --encrypt?
[15:27] <WarDekar> yeah i didn't use the --encrypt option
[15:27] <kingfisher64> would anybody be able to help me with some advice to get a printer working with Ubuntu? I have to sort this out and desperately don't want to go back to windoze. It's a canon pixma mp495 all in one. The scanner just doesn't work but the printer will print from most programs - but not the one I need - Scribus.
[15:27] <Toph2> kingfisher64,,, wireless?
[15:27] <caution> how do I change the screen resolution from the terminal?
[15:28] <WarDekar> am i gonna have to build kernel myself? or should i just use a different distribution?
[15:28] <theadmin> WarDekar: Whatever works for you lol ;)
[15:28] <kingfisher64> Toph2 - it has wireless
[15:28] <theadmin> caution: xrandr -s 640x480
[15:28] <caution> thanks
[15:29] <caution> how do I change the keyboard layout (country) from the terminal?
[15:29] <theadmin> caution: setxkbmap us
[15:29] <theadmin> caution: Replace us with two-letter country code (gb, de, ru...)
[15:29] <Toph2> kingfisher64,,, i'm just working on a Canon  MX410...  Canon has all the drivers for Ubuntu online, but I haven't got it working yet either
[15:29] <handsome-cheung> hi all.
[15:30] <rabbi1> hi, i did reset xorg, did reset gnome, but still i am unable to get my x loaded (login screen) .... :(
[15:30] <caution> awesome, thanks
[15:30] <theadmin> caution: This will allow you to cycle between layouts with alt-shift: setkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us,ru,de,gb
[15:31] <Bubo> Hello
[15:31] <caution> where can I find a list of x commands like that?
[15:31] <kingfisher64> Toph2 - There are some major issues with Ubuntu and printers from the sound of it.
[15:31] <rabbi1> tried ALT + PRNSCN + K aswell but with no luck....
[15:31] <Bubo> I have a problem with installing Gimp. I added a repository to install the 2.7.4 version but i have 2.6 version installed before, so i removed it thorugh the ubuntu software center and then tried installing gimp 2.7.4 (through the ubuntu software center and then through the terminal) and it doesnt work
[15:32] <Bubo> it says that same packages are installed but not the version they should be
[15:32] <Toph2> kingfisher64,,, according to the threads on the MX410, the printing works, but not the scanning
[15:32] <Bubo> example pachakge-namex.x.x is installed -> to be installed package-namex.x.x
[15:32] <rabbi1> Bubo: you had to purge remove the previous version of GIMP
[15:32] <kingfisher64> Toph2 - yep I can get it to print in every program, except Scribus, however the scanner just doesn't work.
[15:33] <Bubo> How do i fix it now rabbi1 ?
[15:33] <theadmin> caution: I dunno lol, some most important are: xrandr, setxbmap, xmodmap, xev
[15:33] <Bubo> what is purge remove?
[15:34] <Nick48> join ##acta
[15:35] <rabbi1> Bubo: sudo apt-get --purge remove gimp gimp-data gimpshop; sudo apt-get  --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo  apt-get install gimp
[15:35] <Bubo> should i run all of those?
