<zorael> Does anyone know of a program that visualizes an electrical circuit schematic, like the java applet at http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-resistors.html ? Preferably in the repos, naturally
<tmmunq> electric?
<whitenoise> hey guys, for dpkg --get-selections, is there a way of only printing out the packages that have been apt-get installed, instead of getting every package on the system, most of which came with it?
<zorael> tmmunq: Well, yes
<whitenoise> haha
<whitenoise> hitsujiTMO: thanks :)
<nexusjay> Hi everyone! Been digging around and wanted to confirm that there is no Canonical Support for the Nexus 7 (2nd Gen) device.

<nickgaw> ok I just finished the ubuntu upgrade with do-release-upgrade -m desktop and again I am able to login but as before orca did not start after I entered in my password but it was on when I was at the login screen if I was using gnome classic before the upgrade will I still be on gnome classic after the upgrade?
<Bombo> is it possible to install a 32bit version of gstreamer incl plugins into a 64bit ubuntu? $ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures -> i386
<vindav> hello, has anyone had trouble with the last update from Ubuntu on their 12.04 LTS distro ?
<ars23> hy, does anybody have an idea about an IDE for simulating verilog code?
<wilee-nilee> vindav, any last update for anyone will be different depending on what's installed and when last updated, be specific, details...etc
<Bombo> hitsujiTMO: hmmm i'll try
<vindav> wilee-nilee:  Thank you for your response.  Ok, we'll...a couple of days ago I had updates from the Canada server, and after re-starting, my background wallpaper changed, the vertical launcher with Unity blinks and flashes randomly all together, when dragging screenlets or windows, duplication of images exist and seem liek they are multiplied immensely.  When windows / application are closed, there are video images that seem like they are
<theadmin> vindav: What is your GPU (graphics card)? If using proprietary drivers, stuff happens...
<theadmin> vindav: I am running on nvidia with bumblebee though and things are fine
<wilee-nilee> vindav, You might try a compiz reset, do you have a proprietary graphic driver installed per-chance?
<vindav> theadmin:  my graphics card is a Nvidia - GeForce310, driver version:  304.88
<theadmin> vindav: Hm ah, yeah, proprietary drivers may cause problems as I said, try deactivating them through System Settings -> Hardware Drivers
<vindav> wilee-nilee:  I have a proprietary graphic driver installed:  Nvidia GeForce 310, driver version:  304.88
<tejas> need help..I have a ubuntu server box with only samba setup for file sharing..i want to monitor it with "monit"...but it always says unable to conect at localhost:2812....Do i need to install Apache for this only...?
<wilee-nilee> vindav, From nvidia or the repos?
<theadmin> tejas: 2812 does not seem like any sort of HTTP port, unlikely that Apache will have to do anything with that.
<vindav> theadmin:  so, if I deactivate them from System Settings->Hardware Drivers, would do I do next after that, reboot or what ?
<theadmin> vindav: Yeah, reboot and see if this helps.
<kriskropd> I have a core 2 duo with a 1min load average os 228.36 and is frozen - what do to find out what the bloody F*** is going on
<vindav> wilee-nilee:  it is from Nvidia
<tejas> theadmin what you suggest for this error..or i should go with webmin :-(
<theadmin> tejas: Yeah no, Webmin is kinda broken with Ubuntu
<tejas> it even not accessible from localhost
<wilee-nilee> vindav, Ah, well I think you know what'sup from looking at your posts.
<compdoc> tejas, if you use a browser to open monit, then yes, you likely need apache. Have you searched for any how tos?
<vindav> theadmin:  ok, I'll try that out first and come back to this chat here to report.
<vindav> wilee-nilee:  Could you please clarify as I am need of some understanding of that ?
<tejas> thanks copdoc..I was thinking this...I was trying to avoid installing apache..
<vindav> wilee-nilee:  how do you do a Compiz reset ?
<wilee-nilee> kriskropd, This is a worldwide channel including many cultural and ethnic groups, what makes you think swearing is an allowed reponse here.
 kriskropd!*@* added to ignore list.
<tejas> yes..why not..I just changed only few options...wait sending pastebin link
<tmmunq> zorael: http://www.staticfreesoft.com/productsFree.html
<vindav> theadmin:  ok, am removing the driver.  I noticed that there are other Nvidia hardware drivers waiting to be activate, all seem like they are beta like.  Should I activate them after re-boot ?
<wilee-nilee> vindav, this link might help it also addresses nvidia. http://askubuntu.com/questions/127782/ubuntu-12-04-compiz-failure-computer-has-nothing-to-use
<theadmin> vindav: Eh, if the deactivation of the current driver helps just leave it as is
<tejas> here is mine monit config file... http://pastebin.com/dRS3GSUK hitsujiTM0
<wilee-nilee> vindav, I will say though that theadmin is a better support here than myself.
<theadmin> wilee-nilee: Don't be of saying that, you are into great help many times :)
<wilee-nilee> theadmin, graphics I have no clue of is all. ;)
<vindav> wilee-nilee:  why is that ?  I like your support too.  In fact am reading and implementing what you shared in regards to that link in resetting Unity and Compiz.
<wilee-nilee> vindav, This area I know enough from seeing traffic on the channel, and I don't give advice that is not conclusive without mentioning that. I have all intel setups they work, so I have not had to mess with drivers is all.
<FabianS> Hey guys.
<vindav> wilee-nilee:  Unity is no longer present, and the terminal window is no longer accessible after I reset Compiz after entering the command:  gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1
<FabianS> I can't get Ubuntu 13.10 to boot from a Thumdrive on a UEFI system.
<vindav> wilee-nilee:  I too have a intel setup on my Ubuntu box.
<tejas> ohk hitsuji..trying it
<FabianS> GRUB does start and kernel&initramfs are loaded.
<FabianS> But it seems like the initramfs is unable to find the livesystem's squashfs.
<wilee-nilee> vindav, I would do a logout or reboot, compiz is a bit funky with changes at times.
<FabianS> Any ideas?
<kostkon> vindav, go into tty
<FabianS> hitsujiTMO: Obviously yes.
<kostkon> vindav, give the command there
<theadmin> FabianS: How did you create the LiveUSB?
<FabianS> Else grub wouldn't boot.
<vindav> kostkon:   What is tty ?
<FabianS> theadmin: partitioned to ef00, formatted as vfat and copied the contents of the iso on the partition.
<theadmin> FabianS: eeeeeh... way complicated. I am not qualified to tell if that would work :D
<kostkon> vindav, press ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 and then ctrl+alt+f7 to come back
<vindav> Before I reboot, I just want to make sure that everything that can be done will be done.
<FabianS> theadmin: That's the default procedure for EFI install medium creation.
<FabianS> Really simple.
<kostkon> vindav, e.g. press ctrl+alt+f4.  reset compiz/unity then reload it with setsid unity   then ctrl+alt+f7
<compdoc> its looking like ubuntu 13.10 server with a Mate desktop has solved my remote desktop issues
<theadmin> FabianS: EFI itself is incredibly complicated rubbish, in my opinion
<wilee-nilee> vindav, try ctrl-alt-f1 login in then run sudo stop lightdm then sudo start lightdm
<FabianS> hitsujiTMO: GRUB does load the kernel and the initramfs.
<FabianS> It's not a GRUB problem.
<kostkon> vindav, if your x is dead do what wilee-nilee said
* GingerGeek is now known as GingerGeek[Away]
<tejas> hitsujiTM0 ..it didnt worked...I tried on virtualbox too...now on physical system.....please suggest another for monitoring my samba except webmin
<mikkie> hello folks
<FabianS> theadmin: EFI would be simple if vendors didn't ignore the standard.
* mbrzuchalski is now known as mbrz
<theadmin> FabianS: I do suppose that, yeah... :/
<FabianS> theadmin: I have EFI dualboot running on two machines and it does work.
<theadmin> FabianS: Well, sorry, I can't really help here
* dziegler_off is now known as dziegler
<FabianS> But one machine likes to shuffle around the boot order and the other one likes deleting custom-built Linux kernels.
<kmyst> how does one get the unity launcher to stop acting like a scrollbar? all of a sudden it's not longer snapping back to the top
<vindav> Ok, we'll...my X is dead, the Nvidia hardware driver mentioned finally for me to reboot to re-activate itself.  I wish I could print out and / or e-mail this chat to myself for reference as no commands or menu-drops are available to select.
<wilee-nilee> FabianS, The manufacturers have their own uefi codes, some use the bootrepair app to get things fixed, have you seen the thread by oldfred a mod at the UF on uefi installs?
<mikkie> I have a big problem with my Screen-Configuration. -> I have two n210 (nvidia) cards in my pc and four screens but however I try (nvidia-settings or xorg.conf) I cant set them right to split screen all over them. please help
<FabianS> wilee-nilee: No, I haven't. Link?
<FabianS> I think the problem is that the Ubuntu initramfs fails to find the thumbdrive with casper.squashfs on it..
<wilee-nilee> FabianS, hope this helps, you are not new at this it seems. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295
<FabianS> But I don't know how it tries to locate the device.
<FabianS> Arch uses the FAT disklabel.
