| uglyoldbob | smg60231: so I now see the server has the appropriate ports open. what is the network configuration for the server? | 01:30 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: Sorry? What do you mean? | 01:31 |
| jiggawookie | why can only root run alsamixer ? my user is part of the 'audio' group..... | 01:31 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: I have the server ran through a router into a modem, I can give you it's IP's and what not but what do you mean it's network config aside from that? | 01:31 |
| uglyoldbob | does it have a dynamic or static ip address? | 01:32 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: Oh oh, sorry about that. LAN = Static, WAN = Dynamic. | 01:32 |
| uglyoldbob | ok good | 01:32 |
| uglyoldbob | what router? | 01:32 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: WNR2000 | 01:32 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: By the way, I have a DUC that reflects the IP as a hostname and updates it, if that is relevent at all. | 01:33 |
| uglyoldbob | im not familiar with DUC | 01:33 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: Dynamic Updating Client, updates a hostname to reflect a dynamic IP. Basically everytime my IP changes the DUC updates the hostname accordingly. | 01:34 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: so you are forwarding tcp ports 10011, 30033, and udp port 9987? | 01:34 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: Yes | 01:34 |
| uglyoldbob | are you on a computer that is in the LAN? | 01:36 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: Yes | 01:37 |
| uglyoldbob | can you connect using the static LAN IP (teamspeak client) ? | 01:38 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: Yes I can, always have been able to yet WAN connections don't go through | 01:39 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: i should have the teamspeak client in 5 mins | 01:40 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: Oh, thanks owo, thanks so much xD | 01:40 |

| balactus | bash autocomplete not working right for me in konsole, it work some of the time but not other times | 01:46 |
| balactus | if i type mount /mnt/f | 01:46 |
| balactus | [TAB] | 01:46 |
| balactus | it will autocomplete, but if i type sudo mount /mnt/f it will not | 01:46 |
| balactus | and if i su to root directly, it will work, so i know root recognizes the path | 01:46 |
| balactus | its just not consistant behavior, it will work some other time but not others, it dont seem to be working right | 01:47 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: what is the address for the teamspeak client? | 01:49 |
| FernandoCueva | ts3 | 01:49 |
| sacarlson | balactus: maybe that user isn't in sudoers list? | 01:49 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: reignmari.no-ip.org | 01:50 |
| balactus | thatsx not the problem sacarlson | 01:51 |
| sacarlson | balactus: try sudo whoami ; | 01:51 |
| balactus | the problem is that bash autocomplete 'halfway works' | 01:51 |
| balactus | it works half of the time | 01:51 |

| FerchoLP | Hi. I leave my notebook for a few minutes and when I came back it was frozen. Black screen and nor ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-f2, either ctrl alt del did anything. I had to force it off with power button. THe question is, which log file can I read to try to figure out hat happened? I tried with dmesg logs and syslogs files but I've found anything. Any ideas where else can I look for? | 01:55 |
| FerchoLP | *left | 01:56 |
| i7c | FerchoLP: suspend / hibernate? sometimes doesn't go quite well | 01:57 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: well the only thing left to check is port forwarding rules on the router | 01:57 |
| balactus | http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/30827/how-does-bash-path-completion-work-with-sudo | 01:57 |
| FerchoLP | nono, it shouldn't go to suspend or hibernate. It should just start the screensaver | 01:57 |
| balactus | this was my exact problem, i found it sacarlson | 01:58 |
| balactus | issue is with bash-completion package | 01:58 |
| balactus | i guess it has different explicit rules set for certain commands like sudo | 01:58 |
| FerchoLP | I left it with the lid open and I haven't set it up to go to suspension nor hibernate :/ | 01:58 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: Hm, I forwarded the ports on the router... not quite sure what else to check on there unless I am missing something? Sorry, bit of a newb I am lol. | 01:58 |
| balactus | generic stuff like path completion that should alwayts work has some explicit rules messing with it there | 01:59 |
| sacarlson | FerchoLP: might be in screen saver try disable or increase the time see if the problem goes away, if it changes then might be some part of that | 01:59 |
| balactus | ill have to look at that | 01:59 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: And interesting bit of info... when my windows firwall is on, "canyouseeme" reports "Timed Out" | 01:59 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: But when it is off, "canyouseeme" reports "Connection Rejected" | 01:59 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: http://tinygrab.com/ get a screenshot of the port forwarding config | 01:59 |
| FerchoLP | yes, I have had problems with the screensavers before (in other laptop). I don't remember if they froze the pc, but probably that was the problem this time. the only other user program that was running was gchrome. | 02:01 |
| FerchoLP | I'll try disabling them | 02:01 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: checking for updates, xD | 02:02 |

| fishcooker | hello fellas.. | 02:06 |
| fishcooker | is there any different performance on sata/ide when we are install the brand new ubuntu on single partition rather than multiple partition? | 02:06 |

| cookie | Hey guys. I am wanting to get an antenna for wireless signals (i live in the mountains, need the longest range possible) | 02:09 |
| mister2 | hey, is there any ubuntu one-alike for mediafire? | 02:09 |
| cookie | however I know that not all antennas are supported | 02:10 |
| cookie | so whats the longest range antenna that is supported by ubuntu? | 02:10 |
| i7c | fishcooker: you ask if ide and sata have different performances? | 02:10 |
| Nullifi3d | cookie: ubuntu is not the limiting factor | 02:10 |
| uglyoldbob | fishcooker: only of the hard drive is faster than ide i believe | 02:10 |
| fishcooker | no no i7c | 02:10 |
| cookie | Nullifi3d: then what is the longest range antenna that I can get? google isn't helping | 02:10 |
| fishcooker | single /multiple partition | 02:11 |
| Nullifi3d | cookie: antennas arent really the problem | 02:11 |
| fishcooker | of course ide slower than sata | 02:11 |
| fishcooker | :p | 02:11 |
| i7c | :p | 02:11 |
| Nullifi3d | they are partly the solution, but the main factor is the strength of your wireless adapter | 02:11 |
| Nullifi3d | cookie: http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-AWUSO36NH-Wireless-Long-Rang-Network/dp/B0035APGP6 | 02:11 |
| fishcooker | uglyoldbob: LoL | 02:11 |
| mister2 | Nullifi3d: can't you have an externally powered antennae? | 02:11 |
| cookie | Nullifi3d: so what do I need to do to yield the longest range for my laptop? | 02:12 |
| Nullifi3d | the problem is signal strength | 02:12 |
| Nullifi3d | you need a powerful enough transmitter/receiver... or repeater... to get a signal | 02:12 |
| Nullifi3d | or amp. or whathaveyou | 02:12 |
| mister2 | and is there a mediafire client? a la ubuntu one, preferably | 02:12 |
| cookie | Nullifi3d: I dont know much about this stuff... what is a repeater? | 02:13 |
| i7c | cookie: range extender | 02:13 |
| Nullifi3d | its a dumb device that reads a signal and repeats it much stronger | 02:13 |
| Nullifi3d | thats what most cell phone towers are | 02:13 |
| uglyoldbob | fishcooker: sure sata is faster than ide. can a go-cart go 70 mph just because i put it on the interstate? | 02:14 |
| Nullifi3d | cookie: http://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-NT-TL-ANT2424B-2-4G-24dBi/dp/B003CFATOW | 02:14 |
| Nullifi3d | that is a high gain directional antenna | 02:14 |
| fishcooker | ssd or even RAM would be the best choices uglyoldbob | 02:14 |
| fishcooker | :p | 02:14 |
| Nullifi3d | cookie: because water's resonating frequency happens to be 2.4ghz, depending on how humid it is your effective range will change | 02:15 |
| Nullifi3d | but on a nice sunny, dry day, between that antenna and the adapter i linked, you could get a signal from up to 1.5-2 miles away | 02:15 |
| vortmax | myth | 02:15 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: so the lan ip address of the server is 10.0.0.3 ? try "ifconfig" on the server | 02:15 |
| cookie | Nullifi3d: at the bottom is shows everything that is bought together...is that everything I need you think? | 02:15 |
| Nullifi3d | no | 02:16 |
| Nullifi3d | if you want to pursue this option, cookie, you will need the wireless adapter, the antenna, and something like this http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Reverse-Weatherproof-Connector-TEW-L202/dp/B000EREM6C/ref=pd_rhf_dp_shvl6 | 02:17 |
| Nullifi3d | thats it | 02:17 |
| Nullifi3d | and perhaps a pole to mount the antenna on if you want | 02:17 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: http://pastebin.com/iqn8yNfr | 02:17 |
| cookie | Nullifi3d: thanks so much | 02:17 |
| cookie | Nullifi3d: this is the adapter? http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-RP-TNC-RP-SMA-Adapter-TEW-AMBA/dp/B000NZNTVE/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_c | 02:18 |
| CellTech | I'm about to ditch linux forever if it doesn't stop using up all my ram within a couple min... Nothing has changed. Same system as forever. But the ram useage is getting bad. What can I do to fix it? | 02:19 |
| Nullifi3d | cookie: yes but you will also need a cable that connects that adapter to the wireless adapter | 02:19 |
| i7c | CellTech: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 02:20 |
| Nullifi3d | cookie: http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Reverse-Weatherproof-Connector-TEW-L208/dp/B000FICJ8S/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_b includes both the adapter and the cable | 02:20 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: ok goto whatismyip.com and compare that to what the router says its public ip address is | 02:21 |
| i7c | CellTech: install htop and check ram, it shows free ram without disk caching memory. | 02:21 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: tell me if the match or don't match | 02:21 |
| cookie | So these 4 things (i think its actually 5) but 4 things to buy and I should be good to go right? | 02:21 |
| cookie | Nullifi3d: ^ | 02:21 |
| Nullifi3d | yeah | 02:22 |
| CellTech | Well how do I make it just stop using it up? Windows never gave me these problems. I switched because i was sick of the crashing. Other then that Windows is the best with ram | 02:22 |
| Nullifi3d | on ubuntu you might run into driver issues | 02:22 |
| Nullifi3d | but nothing that shouldnt be hard to handle | 02:22 |
| Nullifi3d | ie. simply compiling drivers should do the trick | 02:22 |
| cookie | Nullifi3d: thanks again so much | 02:22 |
| i7c | CellTech: it is not necessary to change anything since that ram is available. | 02:22 |
| Nullifi3d | np | 02:22 |
| Nullifi3d | i have a similar setup i used to mess with on my laptop | 02:23 |
| CellTech | What I'm sayingi j bnhvbv | 02:23 |
| i7c | CellTech: you have htop installed? | 02:23 |
| CellTech | What I'm saying is. I can be on the computer for like 10min. Fast and perfect. Then like 10min later. It's slower than hell and it's annoying | 02:23 |
| i7c | CellTech: check processes, check what needs a lot of CPU and RAM | 02:24 |
| anthropos | CellTech, using all your ram is a feature, not a bug. unused ram is wasted ram. | 02:25 |
| sacarlson | CellTech: you will need to isolate what is using the ram, run top to find out | 02:25 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: Uhm, are you speaking in terms of the server? If I log onto the router from the server it will give me the server WAN IP but... I don't have a GUI and can't. | 02:25 |
| anthropos | CellTech, linux uses the extra ram you have to do useful things like disk caching | 02:25 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: I am on the router via my windows system, and have it's WAN IP | 02:25 |
| CellTech | Well it's annoying and I'm about to just go back to windows | 02:25 |
| anthropos | CellTech, it's not the reason your computer is becoming slow (the kernel 'using up' all your ram) | 02:25 |
| anthropos | it's probably attributable to some application you are running or a driver issue | 02:25 |
| anthropos | again, unused ram is wasted ram. | 02:26 |
| CellTech | Than god for open source right? How can I rewrite it to not do anything like that | 02:26 |
| balactus | ring3 apps like web browser (firefox) arent supposed to make x11/kernel freeze either | 02:26 |
| balactus | but thery do | 02:26 |
| CellTech | Linux is supposed to be fast and reliable on older systems. | 02:26 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: you can log into the router from any computer | 02:26 |
| anthropos | CellTech, did you check the cpu/memory usage of the applications? which application is being a hog? | 02:26 |
| balactus | the real world is quite different form 'supposed to' | 02:26 |
| anthropos | CellTech, linux is. again, this has nothing to do with the linux kernel | 02:26 |
| CellTech | Right now. It's more of a boat anchor | 02:26 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: does it match the ip from "whatismyip.com" | 02:26 |
| JelloPop | CellTech: May not be using the right version for older computer | 02:27 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: Sure, but I am not sure how to log onto my router from a server with no GUI. I don't know a command I can enter to log onto my router owo | 02:27 |
| anthropos | CellTech, type top, and figure out which process is slowing things down | 02:27 |
| CellTech | Top where? | 02:27 |
| i7c | CellTech: well try to use the advice you are given here and check what needs ram/cpu with top or htop. if you dont want to, go back to windows. #windows is your friend then. | 02:27 |
| anthropos | CellTech, in the terminal. | 02:27 |
| anthropos | CellTech, it will list all the processes, sorted by cpu use. you should also look at memory use | 02:27 |
| anthropos | which top will also report | 02:27 |
| CellTech | K. What am I looking for? | 02:27 |
| sacarlson | CellTech: you can also clear cache if needed like when you run virtualbox; sudo echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches | 02:27 |
| anthropos | the columns labeled cpu and memory | 02:28 |
| JelloPop | CellTech: Going way to fast...Ur under standing of linux is off.. Mostly because ur using one distro | 02:28 |
| anthropos | or something to that effect | 02:28 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: as long as you are on a computer on the same LAN as the server, you will get the correct results | 02:28 |
| CellTech | VIRT? | 02:28 |
| anthropos | %CPU %MEM | 02:28 |
| CellTech | Xorg | 02:28 |
| anthropos | CellTech, how much cpu & mem is it using | 02:28 |
| reach | what does "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 02:28 |
| reach | E: _cache->open() failed, please report." means | 02:28 |
| CellTech | 1.2 and 2.0 | 02:28 |
| anthropos | CellTech, 1.2 % and 2 % is very reasonable | 02:28 |
| anthropos | it is not the problem, right now. is your computer acting slow? | 02:29 |
| CellTech | Yes | 02:29 |
| haux | What is the proper syntax for chmod to give write permissions to a directory and every file within it? | 02:29 |
| JelloPop | CellTech: how old is this computer? | 02:29 |
| anthropos | well, nothing is using up all the cpu or memory. so that isn't the problem. | 02:29 |
| CellTech | Built for xp pro | 02:29 |
| i7c | CellTech: type free -m in the terminal and write what -/+ buffers/cache line says | 02:29 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: Oh, alright then. Well, 69.81.156.107 | 69.81.156.107 | 02:29 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: IP's match | 02:29 |
| anthropos | CellTech, you could tyr installing iotop and see if anything is makign al ot of disk access | 02:29 |
| anthropos | but running out of memory is not the issue, evidently. | 02:30 |
| CellTech | I switched back to chromium because FF was slower than ever. It was the worse for ram | 02:30 |
| JelloPop | smg60231_: I figured by now u got this problem fixed with this router?? | 02:30 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: Nope =\ | 02:30 |
| anthropos | presently, nothing is using more than 2 % of your ram, CellTech | 02:30 |
| anthropos | provided Xorg is the max | 02:30 |
| CellTech | Chromium bounces up to 14 | 02:30 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: Port scans say all of the ports on my network are closed... and I still can't open them. Can't accept any WAN connections coming into my server. | 02:31 |
| JelloPop | CellTech: Try xubuntu, might be the graphics in just this new Ubuntu interface | 02:31 |
| CellTech | That's what I'm actually on | 02:31 |
| CellTech | and it's pathetic | 02:31 |
| anthropos | chromium using 14 % of your ram should not result in a noticable slowdown, regardless. | 02:31 |
| reach | how can i make my computer run alot faster | 02:31 |
| anthropos | CellTech, try running gnome-system-monitor | 02:31 |
| haux | What is the proper syntax for chmod to give write permissions to a directory and every file within it? | 02:31 |
| JelloPop | smg60231_: Why are u using server in the first place???? | 02:31 |
| CellTech | Well there's like 7 chromium-browse in the list | 02:31 |
| yeats | reach: seen this?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/226361 | 02:31 |

| anthropos | haux, write permissions to whom? | 02:31 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: what modem is the router connected to? | 02:31 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: Because I am running a server o.o | 02:31 |
| i7c | CellTech: that's normal | 02:31 |
| haux | anthropos, myself. After a reinstall, there's a directory that is only writeable by root. | 02:32 |
| JelloPop | smg60231_: Do u have like 10 computers hooked upto some lane??? | 02:32 |
| CellTech | Well what can we do that'll 'flush' the RAM when it's not in use. Like it's supposed to be. Random Access... Not fill it up and force a restart | 02:32 |
| smg60231_ | uglyoldbob: Eh, couldn't give you a model # atm. I'll have to go look if you like, it's a Cisco, I go through Earthlink (Time Warner Cable) | 02:32 |
| anthropos | haux, what d irectory | 02:32 |
| anthropos | CellTech, this does not appear to be a ram issue. i don't know why you are convinced it is | 02:32 |
| i7c | CellTech: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 02:32 |
| i7c | CellTech: pls read it. it will light you up. | 02:33 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: Eh? No, I simply rather use no GUI for simple things like a server, when it works correctly. I figured it made sense that I host a server on a server OS o.o | 02:33 |
| JelloPop | CellTech: I think system needs lighter distro | 02:33 |
| i7c | JelloPop: he just went back to windows. | 02:33 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: Also, I am still not quite sure this is a problem with Ubuntu, but a problem with my router/network. | 02:33 |
| haux | anthropos, a directory a created prior to the reinstall. I just need to know how to use chmod properly... I must not be understanding something. sudo chmod +w -R dirname isn't doing anything | 02:33 |
| balactus | what is a 'server os' | 02:33 |
| haux | Oh crap | 02:34 |
| anthropos | haux, to do it recursively just for oyur user: chmod -R u+w directory | 02:34 |
| haux | I need to use chown don't I... | 02:34 |
| anthropos | but yes | 02:34 |
| anthropos | you probably want to chown it | 02:34 |
| JelloPop | i7c: virus scan that computer... | 02:34 |
| smg60231_ | balactus: Windows Server, Ubuntu Server, an Operating System designed to run as, or host a server. | 02:34 |
| haux | Facepalm | 02:34 |
| balactus | i dont understand | 02:34 |
| anthropos | chown -R user:group <directory> | 02:34 |
| i7c | JelloPop: huh? | 02:34 |
| anthropos | change the group as well as the user | 02:34 |
| balactus | are you saying a 'non server os' is not as efficient at handling computing/io resources | 02:34 |
| balactus | i dont see the point of a 'server os' | 02:34 |
| balactus | unless its bells and whistles | 02:34 |
| balactus | are you claiming there is some architectual difference | 02:35 |
| anthropos | are you referring to ubuntu server, balactus | 02:35 |
| === eights is now known as Guest63380 | ||
| JelloPop | smg60231_: what are u hosting??? a webpage?? what?? | 02:35 |
| balactus | anthalamus, im referring to anything you're calling a 'server os' | 02:35 |
| anthropos | it is just a distribution of linux tailored toward servers. there is nothing inherently different baout it | 02:35 |
| haux | anthropos, yeah. I got it, thanks. chown -R haux:haux UBUNTU_HOME. I don't know what I was thinking | 02:35 |
| anthropos | i don't think there is any such thing as a pure "Server OS" and i would never use such a term | 02:35 |
| balactus | ok thats what i wanted to know | 02:35 |
| anthropos | but there are distributions of linux that are intended to be used on servers | 02:35 |
| balactus | i mean im not using windows desktop for a server | 02:35 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: VoIP. Windows is laggy as hell, and any GUI on the system is laggy as hell, so I run Ubuntu Server with no GUI. | 02:35 |
| balactus | but the os should be the same efficiency at handling hw resources | 02:36 |
| balactus | thats what i was getting at | 02:36 |
| anthropos | linux is linux | 02:36 |
| anthropos | ubuntu desktop and server both run on the linux kernel | 02:36 |
| chris_ | Anyone familiar with applying the mac os theme for ubuntu 11.10? I tried to do it but can't seem to get it right | 02:36 |
| anthropos | it's just a different installer, different default configuration, differne't set of applications installed by default, etc. | 02:36 |
| JelloPop | smg60231_: good luck! Dont see were ur going with this? I wish u the best! :) | 02:37 |
| i7c | chris_: why? :( | 02:37 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: I am confused as to where you are going with this o.o . I've run the server on Ubuntu Server for two years, and am just now having a problem. Standard Linux Ubuntu comes with a hefty GUI that lags my system. | 02:37 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: Linux Ubuntu Server does not... makes sense, no? | 02:38 |
| balactus | you can always remove x | 02:38 |
| balactus | do a minimal install | 02:38 |
| balactus | and build what u need from there | 02:38 |
| smg60231_ | balactus: Last time I did minimal the system refused to boot | 02:38 |
| balactus | heh | 02:38 |
| reach | smg60231: huh, could you elaborate? | 02:38 |
| smg60231_ | balactus: Also, why do that if I don't have to. | 02:39 |
| smg60231_ | reach: As in, it began to load and then froze up. Every time. | 02:39 |
| JelloPop | smg60231_: No, I would use slakcware or Arch Linux, but thats me! If u want the best desktop then u use the best desktop.. Not a server for a desktop.. Puzzled to ur concept... | 02:39 |
| balactus | i dont see how x itself is lagging your system | 02:39 |
| balactus | you coudl try installing a more minimilist desktop environment | 02:39 |
| balactus | like fluxbox | 02:39 |
| balactus | instead of the gnome/kde crap | 02:39 |
| balactus | if that isnt running that should make things leaner | 02:39 |
| balactus | u can still use kdm/gdm | 02:40 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: I am not using a server for a desktop, I am using a server for a server. I think you are misunderstanding me. I am here on my desktop with Windows seven talking to you. This is the computer I actually use. | 02:40 |
| uglyoldbob | smg60231: can you get the model number of the modem? | 02:40 |
| balactus | or whatever login manager u prefer | 02:40 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: Meanwhile, my server is in another room, and I am connected to it over SSH. | 02:40 |
| chris_ | hello | 02:40 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: Not being used as a desktop o.o | 02:40 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: If it was, I would have a GUI... but it isn't, and it lags with one, so I don't o.o | 02:40 |
| JelloPop | smg60231_: Well I would not use Ubuntu server, Slackware, Debian make more sense.. | 02:41 |
| chris_ | i7c_: I don't know I followed the steps, but am not getting the right results | 02:42 |
| JelloPop | smg60231_: That is my personel choice and not to say Ubuntu server wont work just as well.. | 02:42 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: I would ask you why, but I wouldn't understand. Look, I'm a newb to all of this lol. I simply know how to start up my DUC and server, and a few basic commands. Other than that, I am mostly Windows. I have used Ubuntu previously, and it has worked for 2 years... so I continue to use it. Sorry, I don't know much about anything else lol. | 02:42 |
| anthropos | this is #ubuntu so I don't understand why people are being told not to use ubuntu server... | 02:43 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: I have never used anything else but Ubuntu. I am confused enough as it is, and know the pure basics... I'd rather grasp this before going on to something else lol. | 02:43 |
| smg60231_ | anthropos: Was sorta thinking that but... didn't want to say anything. And also... I don't want to argue o.o I am confused as is. uglyoldbob was being so kind as to assist me in some network troubles I am having... | 02:44 |

| JelloPop | smg60231_: U need help suggest looking at LInuxquestions.org have lots of material and may take a day or two but someone will answer ur question... | 02:45 |

| chris_ | Would anyone mind helping me figure out my theming issues on ubuntu 11.10? | 02:46 |
| Roey | Hey all, I'm using OpenVPN to pipe traffic from my laptop in Starbucks through my server at my apartment. The VPN connection only works when I disable the fw on the server, so it's definitely something in the firewall. Can you look it over for me please? Here are the rules in iptables-restore format: http://pastebin.com/LngiW03F ; and here are some extra rules I execute after loading with iptables-restore: http://past | 02:46 |
| Roey | ebin.com/PtmFGtdS | 02:46 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: Possibly I will, however... this IRC is here for Linux help and discussion, right? So there is no problem with me being here either, I don't think >.> | 02:47 |
| JelloPop | smg60231_: Good Luck! Wish u the best :) | 02:47 |
| anthropos | Roey, did you check the firewall logs to see what is being rejected? | 02:47 |
| anthropos | Roey, if you use ufw, there should be a ufw log in /var/log | 02:48 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: Thanks :) | 02:48 |
| Roey | anthropos: just iptables/netfilter | 02:49 |
| chris_ | Anyone familiar with theming ubuntu 11.10? I'm using gnome tweak and have somewhat the same result as online, but for some reason its not right | 02:49 |
| LaterMan | Chaka Khan | 02:49 |
| Roey | anthropos: oh, I do have a /var/log/ufw.log, and it's empty | 02:49 |
| anthropos | Roey, k. you can try to log the packets you drop/reject and then turn the rules on piecewise | 02:50 |
| anthropos | i don't know offhand what openvpn requires you to open, but that method should work quite generally | 02:50 |
| Roey | how can I enable/disable logging? | 02:50 |
| anthropos | there is a log target | 02:50 |
| Roey | wellll I opened ports 1994 tcp and udp | 02:50 |
| anthropos | which you can substitute for reject/deny | 02:50 |
| anthropos | er, reject/drop | 02:50 |
| Roey | oh, true. | 02:50 |
| anthropos | honestly, if you turn the rules on one at a time, you prob. don't even need to log. | 02:50 |
| Roey | true. | 02:51 |
| anthropos | but if you're impatient jsut put them all to log and then turn it on | 02:51 |
| Roey | brb | 02:51 |
| crshbndct | hey chaps | 02:51 |
| LaterMan | how about a nice link on why upgrading to 12.04 fails on a freshy ubuntustudio 11.10 install :D | 02:51 |
| trendlogic | pagi | 02:51 |
| balactus | i dunno, what exactly fails | 02:51 |
| anthropos | logging is useful too for the case where the default policy (e.g. drop) or a very general rule is blocking access | 02:51 |
| balactus | is the problem during reboot | 02:51 |
| balactus | what do you mean by' fails' | 02:51 |
| Roey | anthropos: well logically it would appear that it is MISSING a rule to allow something OUT | 02:51 |
| Roey | because I have a big rule at the top rejecting all packets | 02:52 |
| LaterMan | una momento it will only take a moment to get the error, i failed at being prepared. | 02:52 |
| Roey | (and subsequent rules selectively allow different packet types) | 02:52 |
| balactus | i still have problems with my rules, even after allowing proper loopback on in and out chains | 02:52 |
| Roey | anthropos: ah.. ok, how do I log for that default drop policy? | 02:52 |
| balactus | sometimes conntrack seems to stall or lag for a while | 02:52 |
| anthropos | Roey, it would be easier to debug if the rules to allow packets in preceded the rule to drop everything (or you didn't even have such a rule, and instead used a default policy) | 02:52 |
| balactus | and new connections will stall | 02:52 |
| balactus | but old ones are fine | 02:53 |
| anthropos | then you just put a target as the final rule to log everything that gets that far | 02:53 |
| anthropos | which will be dropped anyways if that's the default policy | 02:53 |
| LaterMan | dammit brb dinner | 02:53 |
| balactus | might wanna put in a REJECT before the default drop too on the outgoing at least | 02:53 |
| Roey | anthropos: ok | 02:53 |
| LaterMan | This is the error i get when i try to upgrade to 12.04 | 02:54 |

| Roey | :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] | 02:56 |

| ntr0py | Great! Now every Flash video is BLUE | 02:57 |
| ntr0py | how can i get flash 11.1 again? | 02:57 |
| Roey | meep | 02:57 |
| Roey | oh good. | 02:57 |
| Roey | anthropos: so I would like to enable logging on that chain | 02:57 |
| Roey | how do I do that? | 02:57 |
| anthropos | Roey, just add a log target right before wherever the packetrs would be dropped. if they are dropped by a defauly policy, that would be at the end of a chain | 02:58 |
| ntr0py | Is this an april 1st joke from the developers ? | 02:58 |
| Roey | I don't know enough netfilter syntax to do that | 02:58 |
| Roey | could you help me out? | 02:58 |
| Roey | anthropos: see above | 02:58 |
| anthropos | something like this should work: iptables -A <chain> -j LOG | 02:59 |
| Roey | anthropos: so iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG | 02:59 |
| Roey | ? | 02:59 |
| Roey | er | 02:59 |
| Roey | iptables -A FORWARD -j /path/to/logfile ? | 03:00 |
| anthropos | if the packets are being dropped at the end of the forward chain (e.g. by a default policy of drop), then iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG | 03:00 |
| anthropos | just LOG, not the logfile | 03:00 |
| tallboy_2 | Is there a way to "force" unity to work with my graphics card, even if it's not supported? My intel card should support 3D and it did up through 10.10. Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10 and 12.04 doesn't allow it. Help! | 03:00 |
| anthropos | it will go to syslogd which will decide where to log them | 03:00 |
| Roey | anthropos: got it | 03:00 |

| Roey | anthropos: no forwarded packets appeared rejected | 03:05 |
| anthropos | then they are dying elsewhere, or the fw is not the problem | 03:06 |
| Roey | ok. | 03:06 |

| anthropos | the ati drivers are inferior to the nvidia drivers in linux | 03:11 |
| Roey | anthropos: ok... I found pieces like this that I know were rejected (I tried to ping from the client laptop): Apr 1 23:10:26 gear kernel: [132468.108419] IN=eth0 OUT=tun0 MAC=00:1d:7d:d0:1f:3e:68:7f:74:64:8c:97:08:00 SRC=72.14.204.101 DST=10.100.10.6 LEN=84 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=55 ID=56238 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=0 CODE=0 ID=25350 SEQ=22 | 03:11 |
| ntr0py | anthropos: ok but with my GT-240 modesetting wont work with nouveau and now with nvidia binary drivers flash videos got color swapped?! | 03:12 |
| anthropos | k, the other packets could have been rejected elsewhere, though | 03:12 |
| Roey | anthropos: I mean that was a rejected packet | 03:12 |
| anthropos | ntr0py, i have never had the latter problem. in some cases the nvidia drivers have problems--the yare not great--but they are lot better than the ati drivers on average | 03:12 |
| Roey | sorry, I realized that the firewall was still accepting forwarded packets. So I reverted back to what I had before, and logged the packets that are now being rejected. | 03:12 |
| anthropos | Roey, k. but a rejected ping should not mess up your openvpn | 03:13 |
| Roey | the ping goes out but I don't get anything back. | 03:13 |
| ntr0py | anthropos: are you using nvidia or nouveau? | 03:13 |
| anthropos | ntr0py, nvidia | 03:13 |
| Roey | anthropos: yet it appears every second in the server log. | 03:13 |
| ntr0py | anthropos: with GPU do you use? | 03:13 |
| Roey | anthropos: I believe it is getting blocked on the way back from the internet hose | 03:13 |
| droid-0854 | 10.04 firefox update known bugs site location? Please | 03:13 |
| anthropos | Roey, ignoring icmp echo requests (pings) is not unusual. so just because your cojputer doesn't respond to pings doesn't mean the vpn isn't working | 03:13 |
| Roey | well with the FORWARD ACCEPT the ping completes though | 03:14 |
| anthropos | ntr0py, this computer has a gtx 460 i think | 03:14 |
| Roey | I am pinging an Internet host through the VPN | 03:14 |
| haux | Is there a guide available on how to recompile the kernel in xubuntu? | 03:14 |
| anthropos | it would be odd for a icmp echo reply to get blocked, but it's possible, e.g. if the firewall is just dropping all icmp packets or something like that | 03:15 |
| Roey | anthropos: the client laptop is connected to the VPN server; the client laptop is trying to ping a host out on the Internet, using the server's VPN connection. | 03:15 |
| JelloPop | smg60231_: Sure u didn't have a powersurge and need to restart router? | 03:15 |
| anthropos | Roey, try something other than a ping. something using tcp | 03:15 |

| droid-0854 | Im running firefox w/o no script. It remembers no history and as of late the back button got sluggish. 10.04 | 03:17 |
| anthropos | is your firewall accepting packets in all chains that have state related or established, Roey | 03:18 |
| Roey | oh | 03:18 |
| Roey | no | 03:18 |
| Roey | not in the FORWARD chain... | 03:18 |
| anthropos | it probably should be unless you know otherwise | 03:18 |
| smg60231_ | JelloPop: Hm, yeah... well, this has never happened to me before and quite honestly, I haven't a damned clue as to what is wrong lol. | 03:18 |
| Roey | anthropos: so I should add something like... -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT | 03:19 |
| anthropos | yes something like that | 03:19 |

| zykotick9 | CellTech: /etc/sysct.conf is a file, not a program | 03:55 |
| CellTech | I want to change the swappiness | 03:55 |
| ntr0py | CellTech sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf | 03:55 |
| CellTech | So I have to open it | 03:55 |
| === sattu94 is now known as satyanash | ||
| CellTech | zykotick9: I want to open the file and change the swappiness value is what I"m attempting to do | 03:56 |
| zykotick9 | CellTech: sorry, I've never messed with swappiness before, i don't know how it's done (or why it would be necessary) | 03:57 |
| anthropos | CellTech, vm.swappiness = whatever | 03:58 |
| anthropos | in /etc/sysctl.conf | 03:58 |
| anthropos | the default is 60, most people want to lower it. | 03:58 |
| CellTech | I can't get the file open to change it. Many sites say to lower it from 60 down to 15 | 03:58 |
| anthropos | do what ntr0py told you to do | 03:59 |
| anthropos | sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf | 03:59 |
| === DSU is now known as Sevith | ||
| anthropos | add the line I said with whatever value you want | 03:59 |
| CellTech | Tried the nano thing. and it' just took me to a bunch of stuff in the terminal | 04:00 |
| ntr0py | CellTech: then try sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf | 04:00 |
| anthropos | it's working, that "bunch of stuff" is the content of the sysctl.conf file... | 04:00 |
| zykotick9 | !gksudo | ntr0py CellTech | 04:00 |
| CellTech | command not found again | 04:00 |
| ubottu | ntr0py CellTech: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 04:00 |
| CellTech | All say no command found | 04:02 |
| Grivvel | Does anyone know if there's any way to check if a named pipe has a reader currently from the command line? I'd like to run a certain command only if nothing is currently reading from a named pipe. | 04:02 |
| anthropos | nano was working. | 04:02 |
| uglyoldbob | s/-ass / ass-/ ? | 04:03 |
| CellTech | I'm just gonna give up on linux.. especially xubuntu. I hate this distro... | 04:03 |
| CellTech | Thanks anyways | 04:03 |
| ntr0py | CellTech: if you have Gnome/lokal X-Server try "gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf" or stay in the terminal and use nano with "sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf" and use [Ctrl] + [O] to save it and [Ctrl] + [X] to close | 04:04 |

| VGoff | It was... until I added that one additional Logan_ | 04:17 |

| zykotick9 | !info php5 lucid | Logan_ VGoff | 04:18 |

| ntr0py | family: what is the current state and what u want to change it to ? | 04:18 |
| Logan_ | zykotick9: And? | 04:18 |
| Logan_ | I know it's in the repository. | 04:18 |
| zykotick9 | Logan_: i'm saying you're right, it's in the default repo. | 04:18 |
| VGoff | Logan_, yes it is, and from the command line aptitude it lists. | 04:19 |
| family | here is what I did. I had ubuntu 12 on here but I hated it. so I installed xubuntu over it (option to update it to keep files). Then when booted it wouldn't connect to the internet. so.... | 04:19 |
| gizmo | has anyone used ubuntu on a mac with parallels? | 04:19 |
| Logan_ | VGoff: Try running sudo apt-get install -f | 04:19 |
| family | I booted to the old or previous Linux which is the same thing and the internet worked. so now I want to automatically boot to that one without having to set it each time. | 04:19 |
| family | if I just let the computer boot to the default, the internet will not work. | 04:20 |
| KurtKraut | ntr0py, I don't know if you can make a command be triggered by apt-get or aptitude to produce the outcome you want, but you can make a shell script that does tree -filhD /usr/bin/, stores the output in a file and save de md5sum of this file | 04:21 |

| VGoff | Logan_, maybe getting closer... now getting: dpkg: warning: files list file for package `php5-common' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. | 04:22 |
| KurtKraut | ntr0py, Then you check the md5sum every hour (or daily). If the md5sum changed, you may presume that an update/upgrade happened and trigger the snapshot | 04:22 |
| zykotick9 | family: you need to set the GRUB_DEFAULT=X to the correct number, that corresponds to what you want to boot in /etc/default/grub then run that sudo update-grub to apply the changes (you might have to test a few numbers to find the right now) | 04:22 |

| VGoff | lol, me either. You take that paddle, I will grab this one, cause we are in the same boat thre. | 04:57 |
| ChogyDan | VGoff: do you need filter-module support? | 04:57 |
| ChogyDan | not that I know what that is, but it is related to your error | 04:57 |

| VGoff | ChogyDan, there was a recursive dependency problem, and fixed that today, regarding php5. But now that everything (apparently not quite everything) was cleared out, that issue seems to be (mostly) gone, because prior they could not even install unassocated things, now I can at least do updates. | 05:00 |
| VGoff | Trying to install php5 | 05:00 |
| VGoff | specifically php5.3 | 05:00 |
| ChogyDan | VGoff: in oneiric? | 05:00 |
| VGoff | more specifically php5.3.2 if I can, on Lucid. | 05:00 |
| ChogyDan | VGoff: have you tried either installing libapache2-mod-php5 (ie, no filterwhatever support), or `sudo apt-get install lamp-server`? | 05:02 |
| ChogyDan | oops | 05:02 |
| ChogyDan | `sudo apt-get install lamp-server^` | 05:03 |
| VGoff | However the following packages replace it: | 05:04 |
| VGoff | php5-ldap | 05:04 |
| VGoff | E: Package libapache2-mod-php5 has no installation candidate | 05:04 |
| VGoff | It was what you had started picking up on, actually. | 05:04 |
| ChogyDan | did you already pastebin those errors? | 05:04 |
| VGoff | And as far as installing lamp... not sure I want to do that with the existing mysql and apache already installed. Just trying to get php back up and running. | 05:04 |
| VGoff | yeah... | 05:05 |
| VGoff | https://gist.github.com/2280715 ChogyDan | 05:05 |
| ChogyDan | go ahead and do the lamp command, you will have a chance to confirm | 05:05 |
| VGoff | lamp-server is not available | 05:06 |
| VGoff | even on my laptop running 10.04 | 05:06 |
| ChogyDan | pastebin? | 05:06 |
| ChogyDan | also, can you include the commands run | 05:07 |
| ChogyDan | note: it is lamp-server^ | 05:07 |
| ChogyDan | also, you could check apt-cache policy libapache2-mod-php5 | 05:08 |
| VGoff | ChogyDan, sent the link above tagged with your nick. Will check lamp-server^ again | 05:09 |
| ChogyDan | the link doesnt show the command you ran, does it? | 05:11 |
| VGoff | ChogyDan, lamp-server^ reports that everything is already the latest version, but does not mention php. | 05:11 |
| VGoff | And no, the command ran was aptitude for the one file with the title of aptitude console or whatever. | 05:12 |
| === dubellz is now known as StaffGiraffe | ||
| VGoff | The others are simply what is reflected there... mentioned when I pasted... but nothing more complex than apt-get install php5 or whatever file package is reflected | 05:12 |
| ChogyDan | well I can't help further unless you are willing to pastebin | 05:12 |
| VGoff | what would you like me to pastebin? | 05:12 |
| VGoff | You haven't asked me yet, I don't think... or I missed it. | 05:13 |
| VGoff | I thought you just asked if I pastebinned. | 05:13 |

| macbuntu | where can i find more info about fixing my wifi on my macbook | 05:21 |
| macbuntu | googling like crazy right now | 05:21 |

| macbuntu | yea | 05:24 |

| arizona | is there linux based courses? | 05:24 |
| VGoff | ChogyDan, how do you do that without fliter support? | 05:24 |
| ChogyDan | VGoff: yeah, that is interesting. It looks like you have some pinning going on. I don't know about that | 05:24 |
| ChogyDan | just install that package, it is a different name | 05:25 |
| VGoff | I noticed the pinning too, and that is interesting... I am going to research how to unpin it (I think there was something in aptitude (terminal) that I could do. | 05:25 |

| VGoff | no help. lol | 05:26 |
| VGoff | checking out web page, thanks ubottu via ChogyDan | 05:26 |
| ChogyDan | VGoff: in the info, it says to only install that package if you need filter support, otherwise install libapache2-mod-php5 | 05:26 |
| macbuntu | trying to get wifi working for the broadcom antennae | 05:26 |
| VGoff | yeah, not sure when I started usign the one with filter, but no difference, same messages. | 05:27 |
| ChogyDan | VGoff: maybe try reinstalling php5-common | 05:27 |
| ChogyDan | anyway, gotta sleep, g'night and gl | 05:28 |
| VGoff | lol, if I could install php5-common I would not be having this issue. just lol'ing in frustration. Pinning suggestion, none of the 3 files mentioned is modified to enable pinning. | 05:30 |

| system5 | does anybody have any idea how often is Ubuntu 11.10 supposed to clear out the /var/log/wtmp file? | 05:49 |
| system5 | the /var/log/wtmp file which determines the output you get for running the "last" command | 05:50 |
| system5 | is it on the first of the month that logs rotate and the /var/log/wtmp file gets cleared out? | 05:50 |
| Wingede | Anyone using empathy as default irc client? | 05:51 |

| obelus | KVIrc here. | 05:51 |
| Wingede | this bubble like stuff is doing my head in :( | 05:51 |
| system5 | I ran the "last" command and it doesn't show any of the logins from before today, and ls -l /var/log/wtmp shows this: | 05:52 |
| system5 | -rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 1536 2012-04-01 22:34 /var/log/wtmp | 05:52 |
| system5 | I'm trying to figure out if this is normal behavior in Ubuntu that the /var/log/wtmp file gets reset on the 1st of the month or if it means somebody has been messing with the system | 05:53 |
| LeroyJ | that is normal system5 | 05:53 |
| Marzata | system5: mine is empty | 05:53 |

| newhaskeller | hey.. i installed ubuntu 11.10 on an old mac... the problem is that sometimes the screen dims and I can't use the physical buttons to make it bright again. This happens on opening certain applications | 06:46 |
| almoxarife | its a sophisticated system, you ask! | 06:46 |
| test | I ask. | 06:46 |
| Steevca | I have just upgraded ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04,and i can't get network to work.I have a DSL Modem.I also have two network cards,but i only use one because the second isn't working,can the other one cause problems? | 06:46 |
| almoxarife | yes, the question, | 06:46 |
| test | Since last ubuntu upate, youtube as well as all video players are not working anymore- on youtube, I don't even get the buttons | 06:47 |
| test | Is anyne aware of that? Thanks | 06:47 |
| test | Yesterday I reinstalled youtube, but no luck | 06:47 |
| Steevca | Reinstalled youtube? | 06:48 |
| obelus | ... how did you reinstall youtube? | 06:48 |
| almoxarife | re-installed youtube? | 06:48 |
| almoxarife | that must have taken a bit of time | 06:48 |
| test | sorry | 06:48 |
| test | I reinstalled ubuntu | 06:48 |
| test | you are right, sorry | 06:48 |
| Steevca | :D | 06:49 |
| newhaskeller | how do I fix this screen dimming issue... I cannot get any work done | 06:49 |
| Steevca | Can ayone help me with my issue? | 06:49 |
| almoxarife | test: short answer, get rid of what ever browser you have and install 'chromium-browser' , bet you can see your youtubes then | 06:49 |
| test | Many thanks almoxarife | 06:49 |
| obelus | newhaskeller: I'm not sure where the settings are in Gnome/Unity, but if you change power settings so that it doesn't dim the screen after inactivity | 06:50 |
| obelus | In Gnome3/Unity, you can probably type 'power' into the dashboard to find it. | 06:50 |
| almoxarife | newhaskeller: dimming is a function on your 'power-settings/saver/saving' , make it stop dimming there | 06:50 |
| newhaskeller | obelus: i already unchecked the dim on idle options from the settings | 06:50 |
| newhaskeller | however, it should not dim each time I open firefox | 06:51 |
| almoxarife | newhaskeller: no, it should not | 06:51 |
| obelus | newhaskeller: You're right on that one - I'm not sure why it would be doing that - bad video drivers maybe? | 06:51 |
| newhaskeller | obelus: i am guessing so... but I cannot find what appropriate drivers I must install | 06:52 |
| newhaskeller | How does one determine the hardware for which drivers are needed? | 06:55 |
| newhaskeller | i.e, the model number, etc | 06:55 |
| obelus | newhaskeller: For the model number, it'd probably be in the output of 'sudo lspci', but I'm not sure exactly what you'd install for Macs. | 06:56 |

| vandan | i tried loggin into ubuntu-helpteam | 09:41 |
| vandan | and kernel | 09:41 |
| vandan | but no help was provided | 09:41 |
| vandan | can someone help me here please. | 09:41 |
| vandan | thank you | 09:42 |
| JelloPop | vandan: whats the question | 09:42 |
| vandan | thank you jellpop | 09:42 |
| myhero | thnx but still i don't know what 2 do with the linux softs downloaded frm the original sites | 09:42 |
| vandan | I installed ubuntu 11.10 | 09:42 |
| vandan | from a CD | 09:42 |
| vandan | and my ubuntu is freezes | 09:42 |
| vandan | sometimes. | 09:42 |
| vandan | many times on firefox | 09:43 |
| scottj | is there a cli for the "Enable Networking" feature on right clicking nm-applet | 09:43 |
| vandan | and sometimes using librewriter | 09:43 |
| JelloPop | vandan: install htop | 09:43 |
| myhero | the problem is m running oneiric frm usb n whenever i boot everything is lost n i hve 2 install all again..... | 09:43 |
| Myrtti | vandan: you can use the comma key on your keyboard instead of the enter key - it makes your question a lot more readable | 09:43 |
| myhero | so if i update frm net then it consumes bandwidth | 09:43 |
| Crazydan | now what os does it say i am running? | 09:44 |
| JelloPop | vandan: Can follow, no need for comma's and correct grammer... I got skillz | 09:44 |
| myhero | therefore i downloaded the softs linus packages frm original sites n want a way 2 install them whenever i boot | 09:44 |
| myhero | *linux | 09:44 |
| Crazydan | i'm still on my phone :p | 09:45 |
| vandan | thanks mrtti . I did an update of ubuntu, after update, it started to freeze / crash more often. so i installed again from CD | 09:45 |
| myhero | all softs r in tar.gz n tar.xz format | 09:45 |
| JelloPop | Crazydan learn to read all the instructions :) before u get here and complain | 09:45 |
| Crazydan | running irssi atm :p | 09:46 |
| Crazydan | not complaining | 09:46 |
| vandan | and it freezes sometimes but not often. what could be the possible cause ? | 09:46 |
| JelloPop | Crazydan: U install lxde, a | 09:46 |
| Crazydan | lxde? | 09:47 |
| Crazydan | this is why i'm here | 09:47 |

| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 09:48 |
| fidel | vandan: just mentioning that it "freezes" from time to time makes it hard to "guess" what the reason might be | 09:48 |
| fidel | consider checking your logs or ssh in in the case it freezes if that is still possible | 09:48 |
| JelloPop | Crazydan: Directions say u may need to use busybox to install and run updates.. | 09:49 |
| zvacet | myhero: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 09:49 |
| Crazydan | surprised this even runs on my dinosaur fone | 09:49 |
| vandan | yes,i understand. I could move the cursor but nothing works. i have to reboot . | 09:49 |
| myhero | @zvacet k... | 09:49 |
| Crazydan | did the busybox thing | 09:49 |

| vandan | which one shall i check ? | 09:50 |
| Crazydan | now i just need to get all my base packages | 09:50 |
| vandan | sorry, i am not an expert on ubuntu/linux. | 09:50 |
| Crazydan | i just don't know what | 09:50 |
| Crazydan | ya no more errors | 09:50 |
| JelloPop | Crazydan: what are u trying to do? | 09:50 |
| fidel | syslog/dmesg might be 2 options - but im not a problem debugging expert either | 09:51 |
| Crazydan | I want a little tiny computer | 09:51 |
| fidel | Crazydan: plug-computers might be an interesting keyword then (often arm-based right now) | 09:51 |
| vandan | let me install htop as suggested by JelloPop | 09:51 |
| JelloPop | Crazydan: there are no base packages. There is what u use for ur goals.. | 09:51 |
| Crazydan | that can do everything a big computer can | 09:51 |
| Crazydan | fidel this has an arm processor | 09:52 |
| vandan | fidel, i am running ubuntu on amd quad core, 4 gb ram and using nvidia driver.. | 09:52 |
| fidel | yep most "smartphones" i know actually do | 09:52 |
| vandan | do u think it could be driver issue / could be memory issue ? | 09:53 |
| vandan | what about memtest ?? | 09:53 |
| JelloPop | Crazydan: Well if a tablet can and phones are now headed to phone tablets with 4 inch to 5 inch screens no surprise here! | 09:53 |
| fidel | vandan: please talk to the channel - not a single person ;) | 09:53 |

| dogget_ | Nothing Jonathon | 11:10 |
| larsduesing | I want to find out whether a line in config is "daemonize true" | 11:10 |
| larsduesing | correct regex would be "^daemonize[[:space:]][[:space:]]*true" | 11:10 |
| dogget_ | I have installed whatever I could find by reading forums and what not...still nothing | 11:10 |

| very | jonathon, yes, i have to scroll up of course. but it's difficult to find the exact point where the text starts. | 11:19 |

| very | jonathon, i've changed the color of my prompt to green now. but it's still not that easy to find. | 11:20 |

| jonathon | very, press enter a few times before entering your command, then you have some blank space at the top | 11:21 |
| dogget_ | tried that, maybe I have missed something, let's check :-) | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | dogget_: what is the PPA address? | 11:21 |
| very | sacarlson, ah.. right, that's a good idea. i'm going to try this when i anticipate loads of text. | 11:21 |

| Sungrazer | gui | 11:58 |
| Vivekananda | ActionParsnip: /etc does not have /etc/hosts . Anyplace else I should look ? I have ubuntu lucid. | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: /etc/hosts is a file, does it have any reference to the site? | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: have you tried rebooting your router? | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: as its affecting both OSes I doubt its specifically ubuntu | 11:59 |

| mi3 | when we update from the terminal, why are kernel updates not downloaded and installed? | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: if you run: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null then try the web is it ok? | 12:00 |
| ikonia | mi3: it depends on your setup, they are | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mi3: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:01 |
| ironhalik | What are the differences in KMS between livecd and fresh install on Nvidia setup? | 12:01 |
| ironhalik | for me, on livecd, plymouth works ok, but after installation, using nouveau drivers, I get ugly plymouth | 12:01 |
| mi3 | doesn't sudo apt-get dist-upgrade upgrade your installation from 11.04 tp 11.10? | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ironhalik: the installed OS is identical to the liveCD desktop | 12:02 |
| mi3 | sorry *to | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | mi3: no, it just upgrades other stuff, upgrading to the next release is a different command | 12:02 |
| Vivekananda | ActionParsnip:the output of /etc/hosts is http://pastebin.com/tA0YXkeU | 12:02 |
| mi3 | oo | 12:02 |
| ironhalik | ActionParsnip: yeah, I would think so - yet I get broken plymouth on fresh install, and a working one on livecd | 12:02 |
| mi3 | ActionParsnip, can you suggest what that other command is? | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | mi3 | 12:03 |
| ubottu | mi3: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: hosts looks fine | 12:03 |
| mi3 | ok, so the job of dist-upgrade is only to do kernel updates, and nothing else? | 12:03 |

| christiaan | i once installed mate | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | christiaan: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 12:09 |
| pangolin | christiaan, please keep the language clean | 12:09 |
| christiaan | and now my computer is linux mint 12 fluxbox | 12:09 |
| christiaan | but it was first ubuntu oneric | 12:09 |
| christiaan | i changed it many times back | 12:09 |
| christiaan | but it always was linuxmint 12 fluxbox again | 12:10 |
| pangolin | !mint | 12:10 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 12:10 |
| christiaan | yes, but this is ubuntu -.- | 12:10 |
| christiaan | but my os is always changing to mint | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | christiaan: no, it's mint | 12:10 |
| christiaan | why | 12:10 |
| christiaan | i installed ubuntu xD | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | christiaan: not supported here, it has its own support | 12:10 |
| christiaan | yes i know | 12:10 |
| christiaan | but i installed once mate on ubuntu | 12:10 |
| christiaan | and then it went to mint | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | christiaan: mate isn't supported hereeither | 12:11 |
| christiaan | i don't know why | 12:11 |
| christiaan | i deleted mate | 12:11 |
| Vivekananda | ActionParsnip: I do not use a proxy. I tried running the command you gave about resolv.conf and it Corrected ! the problem. Thanks a ton. | 12:11 |
| Myrtti | christiaan: "never mix distributions" | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: DNS poisoning dude | 12:11 |
| christiaan | but my os is always changing to mint xD | 12:11 |
| christiaan | hmm | 12:11 |
| Vivekananda | Okay now just tell me | 12:11 |
| Kuba | hey | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: the DNS you have has a redirect, if it is your router then it has been affected. I suggest you make the DNS change permanent by modifying the settings in network manager | 12:12 |
| christiaan | lsb_release -sc | 12:12 |
| christiaan | oops | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: as the file is generated at boot | 12:12 |
| Kuba | I'd like my kindle to autmount always to specified location; how should I do it? /etc/fstab and UUID? | 12:12 |
| christiaan | how weird | 12:13 |
| Vivekananda | please . What did I just do and how did it correct the problem and how do I do the same for the XP system. Please just give me something to read coz i dont want to take up your time.Favor on me so will try my best to return it! | 12:13 |
| Dr_willis | christiaan, stop adding the mint repos then. | 12:13 |
| christiaan | when i do lsb_release -sc it says oneric | 12:13 |
| christiaan | ... | 12:13 |
| christiaan | OMG i think i know what i need to do | 12:13 |
| christiaan | can someone tho one thing for me? | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using | 12:13 |
| christiaan | can someone type in google mate for ubuntu | 12:13 |
| Dr_willis | Kuba, i thought mine always mounts to /media/kindle | 12:13 |
| christiaan | and then get the second thing | 12:13 |
| christiaan | and then copypast the last step ! | 12:14 |
| christiaan | i think that is how i can fix it | 12:14 |
| christiaan | can someone tho that (A) | 12:14 |
| Kuba | Dr_willis: what should I do e.g. to change that directory then? | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: boot windows and see what your DNS servers, or reboot Ubuntu and run: cat /etc/resolv.conf to see what you are using. Those are causing the issue | 12:14 |
| pangolin | christiaan, why can't you do it? | 12:14 |
| Vivekananda | ActionParsnip: Did I resolve the windows problem also with this change? Or do I have to do something for that separately too? Did I resolve it for my other computers in the lan? | 12:14 |
| christiaan | because i can't go in the graphical interface | 12:14 |
| christiaan | that isnt working atm xD | 12:15 |
| Dr_willis | Kuba, not on ubuntu at the moment. but normally filesystems that have a "label" get mounted to /media/TheLableName | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: it will probably be the DNS | 12:15 |
| Kuba | Dr_willis: okay | 12:15 |
| Dr_willis | Kuba, when i plug mine in it alwyas pops up the file manager anyway. :) so ive rarely noticed its mountpoint. | 12:16 |
| pangolin | christiaan, join #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org they can give you the steps | 12:16 |
| Dr_willis | Mi kindel Fire may be differnt then the Kindle reader also. | 12:16 |
| Kuba | Dr_willis: I'm writing some scripts to autosync ebooks, so I'd like to make sure kindle is mounted at a given directory | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: reboot ubuntu and the dns wil be how they were before, then make a note and see what's what | 12:16 |
| christiaan | oh i know it, i went on my moms pc | 12:16 |
| christiaan | (A) | 12:16 |
| christiaan | i think i get it now | 12:16 |
| christiaan | xD | 12:16 |
| Kuba | Dr_willis: I'd rather not depend on "i though", you know | 12:17 |
| pangolin | christiaan, I'm glad you figured it out but mint/mate is not supported here. Please stop talking about it and join the proper support channel | 12:17 |
| Dr_willis | Kuba, pop it in look where its mounting to. | 12:17 |
| Kuba | Dr_willis: mine's at /media/Kindle | 12:17 |
| Dr_willis | Kuba, i use that Calibre program to sync my ebooks. | 12:17 |
| g0tGcc | :) | 12:18 |
| Dr_willis | Kuba, so in theory it should always auto mount to there. thats the 'Label' of the filesystem on the book. | 12:18 |
| AndyUbuntu | hello everyone | 12:18 |
| christiaan | i think i am now fixing it (A) | 12:18 |
| Dr_willis | Kuba, there can be cases where if it dosent unmount properly you can get added _'s to the end of the mountpoint. | 12:18 |
| AndyUbuntu | just a quick question, flash always asks if i want to use my webcam and microphone and i am unable to click allow | 12:19 |
| christiaan | guys is there a browser thing that i can run inside a tty? | 12:19 |
| Dr_willis | !info links | 12:19 |
| ubottu | links (source: links2): Web browser running in text mode. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.3~pre1-1build1 (oneiric), package size 520 kB, installed size 1284 kB | 12:19 |
| AndyUbuntu | this is very frustrating as I am not able to use the application | 12:19 |
| faryshta | christiaan, a terminal? | 12:19 |
| pangolin | christiaan, We don't support Mint here. last time I ask you to stop. | 12:19 |
| Kuba | Dr_willis: btw, can you manage collections from Calibre? | 12:19 |
| christiaan | i am not talking about mint -.- | 12:20 |
| christiaan | i think you don't understand what i mean now | 12:20 |
| Kuba | Dr_willis: last time I checked it, it didn't have that feature | 12:20 |
| pangolin | christiaan, you are running Mint and any support questions you ask are off topic. | 12:20 |
| g0tGcc | ... | 12:20 |
| christiaan | I am not using mint or something like that | 12:20 |
| Dr_willis | Kuba, i tend to just use it to read the 'reviews/summary' of the books. then i coppied over a few 100+ books. :) havent needed to run it in ages. | 12:20 |
| christiaan | And i am not running Mint | 12:20 |
| christiaan | -.- | 12:20 |
| christiaan | as i said before | 12:20 |
| pangolin | christiaan, you added unsupported repos to your install. | 12:20 |
| faryshta | pangolin, cool story bro. | 12:21 |
| christiaan | i removed them now :=) | 12:21 |
| AndyUbuntu | may seem like a noob question | 12:21 |
| AndyUbuntu | though it just does not work :s | 12:21 |
| faryshta | pangolin, you are not being helpful and there is no part of the comunity guidelines forbidding users to install anything they want. | 12:21 |
| christiaan | but now i am just asking for a tty browser | 12:21 |
| christiaan | if someone knows one here | 12:21 |
| faryshta | pangolin, users are free to use the software as they please. | 12:21 |
| schnuffle | christiaan: lynx | 12:21 |
| christiaan | thanks | 12:21 |
| Dr_willis | christiaan, you got an answer.. 'links' or lynx. | 12:22 |
| pangolin | faryshta, there is a rule about supporting only Ubuntu and the official flavors. Mint is not one of them. | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | faryshta: sure but we can only support the packages from the official repos here | 12:22 |
| christiaan | thanks | 12:22 |
| Dr_willis | mate is definatly not an officially supported thang :) | 12:22 |
| faryshta | ActionParsnip, it was a question about official repos and alike. | 12:23 |
| mydogsnameisrudy | and he messed up and installed it , and wants to fix it | 12:23 |
| sddhrthrt | think we should help him. | 12:23 |
| faryshta | This isn't a tree house. You are not supposed to deny help to the kids who you don't like | 12:24 |
| schnuffle | Officially the mate question is really offtopic. To help him revert his system one would need to: Install mate, check the repo changes, check the instaaled packages and then give advice how to revert. I think nobody gonna do that | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | faryshta: if user is using something which is not ubuntu, its not supported here | 12:24 |
| * Dr_willis thinks we should move on. | 12:24 | |
| sddhrthrt | \me | 12:25 |
| sddhrthrt | Dr_willis: how do you do that? | 12:25 |
| maxagaz | how to check the health of hard drive ? | 12:26 |
| * Dr_willis wonders what sddhrthrt is talking about. | 12:26 | |
| sddhrthrt | the * Dr_willis thinks we should move on - thing | 12:26 |
| maxagaz | I remember there was an app for that | 12:26 |
| maxagaz | but I forgot the name | 12:26 |
| Myrtti | maxagaz: smartmontools? | 12:26 |
| schnuffle | faryshta: I think its more: If you change your system you should at least konw a bit about it. Otherwise the only help can be: Reinstall | 12:26 |
| Dr_willis | maxagaz, thers some smart tools, and the disk tool has some info.. i forget its name also. :) | 12:26 |
| maxagaz | Myrtti, Dr_willis, an app that used to be provided with ubuntu | 12:27 |
| Vivekananda | The DNS has been changed now for this session isnt it. I just have to make it permanent. Do I have to this separately for windows xp or do I have to log into the router interface and change it there? | 12:27 |
| maxagaz | maybe it's still provided | 12:27 |
| sacarlson | maxagaz: I see it in disk utility to view status and run S.M.A.R.T | 12:27 |
| maxagaz | something that replaced gparted | 12:27 |
| schnuffle | maxagaz: smartctl maybe? | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: you will need to do it in WIndows too. | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: have the DNS's in your router changed too? | 12:28 |

| === Staffpony is now known as Fuchs | ||
| Vivekananda | I will try and come back | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | sddhrthrt: for when you are compiling usually | 12:28 |
| sddhrthrt | May sound like a silly question, but never really understood the use. Where will the source code be? how do you compile the obtained code? | 12:28 |
| schnuffle | sddhrthrt: It contains all header files and so on to compile the package or packages that need to link against it | 12:29 |
| sddhrthrt | ... how do you compile the obtained code? | 12:29 |
| dboehmer | hello | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | sddhrthrt: they are used if you want your program needs to use the library or app, it gives the methods used to communicate with the app/library | 12:29 |
| dboehmer | i need some help with KVM (libvirt) and busybox installed | 12:29 |
| Dr_willis | !compile | 12:29 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 12:29 |
| schnuffle | sddhrthrt: you need the src code to compile the package, but its enough to install the dev package if another tool requires it | 12:29 |
| dboehmer | after i installed busybox KVM fails to start VMs | 12:29 |
| schnuffle | dboehmer: does the kvm start script uses tools not availlable in busybox? | 12:30 |
| dboehmer | schnuffle, i don't know. hoped to get information about that here. | 12:31 |
| AndyUbuntu | there is a bug on adobe flash player which will not allow you to clikc and allow access for microphone and camera | 12:31 |
| dboehmer | schnuffle, i use busybox in the initrd to open LUKS encrypted root fs. ordinary shell is bash | 12:31 |
| AndyUbuntu | anyone know how this can be fixed? | 12:31 |
| Dr_willis | AndyUbuntu, been similer bugs for ages. seen numerous work arounds over the last few years. such as 'hold down right mouse button, then try to click on them' | 12:32 |
| sddhrthrt | schnuffle: okay.. now getting the idea. i was compiling bitblee from source because ubuntu 10.04 has a really very old bitlbee in its repository. is there a way of getting a new version other than compiling? | 12:32 |
| AndyUbuntu | Dr_willis, ok thanks | 12:32 |
| AndyUbuntu | i will give that a go | 12:32 |

| Dr_willis | AndyUbuntu, most likely several listed on the forums and askubuntu.com site. I dont rember them all. | 12:33 |
| schnuffle | dboehmer: hmm, what happens if you start kvm later on in a terminal? Does it still not start? Does the syslog tells you something about a problem? | 12:33 |
| drvanon | cause it coninutally exits with error 2304 | 12:33 |
| dboehmer | schnuffle, the error i got complains about an error in '"/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 996' | 12:33 |
| AndyUbuntu | Dr_willis, ok thanks | 12:33 |
| sacarlson | !recordmydesktop | 12:34 |
| drvanon | yes | 12:34 |
| drvanon | it says it can't connect to xserver | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | drvanon: tried any alternatives? | 12:34 |
| dboehmer | schnuffle, the whole text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/911417/ | 12:34 |
| drvanon | what do you mean? | 12:34 |
| faryshta | Which is the url to deploy war files on tomcat? | 12:34 |
| drvanon | xvidcap? and the sort | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | drvanon: have youtried any alternatives to recordmydesktop? | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | drvanon: and the rest...yes | 12:35 |
| sddhrthrt | schnuffle: so, if i am right, i'll need dev of all the packages that are required for compilation? | 12:35 |
| drvanon | yes, but recordmydesktop complies to my needs the best | 12:35 |
| schnuffle | dboehmer: so the problem is somehow more a ssh connection problem and you try to connect from remote? | 12:35 |
| drvanon | do you recommend anything? | 12:35 |
| schnuffle | sddhrthrt: yes | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | drvanon: try as many as you can | 12:36 |
| sddhrthrt | schnuffle: is there a way to automatically install -dev for all the dependencies of a program? | 12:36 |
| dboehmer | schnuffle, argh, yes, the pasted error was a problem with the SSH config. the username was incorrect. however, there is still the problem. just a different error message m( | 12:37 |
| schnuffle | sddhrthrt: there's a way to get all dependencis if the source is a deb package | 12:37 |

| tkruise | thankyou ActionParsnip | 12:39 |
| dboehmer | schnuffle, i changed the host to login as my user | 12:39 |
| schnuffle | dboehmer: and it worked logging in as your user? | 12:39 |
| sddhrthrt | ok. i'm in a small mess here. i wanted bitlbee 3.05. 10.04 has only 1.x. so i added the nightly builds repo http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/ and apt-get updated. now, i can see these extra packages - bitlbee-dev 3.05 and bitlbee-common 3.05. bitlbee is still 1.x. Why? | 12:40 |
| awss | hello. can anyone recomend me a linux (ubuntu) channel for beginers? (I just discovered linux) | 12:40 |
| dboehmer | schnuffle, no, when logging in as my user i come to the VM list but cannot start any, error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/911419/ | 12:40 |
| sddhrthrt | ok. i'm in a small mess here. i wanted bitlbee 3.05. 10.04 has only 1.x. so i added the nightly builds repo http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/ and apt-get updated. now, i can see these extra packages - bitlbee-dev 3.05 and bitlbee-common 3.05. bitlbee is still 1.x. Why? schnuffle | 12:41 |
| schnuffle | dboehmer: so you've changed severall things, now its not working. How do you relate your problem to busybox? | 12:41 |
| mugrasiclashotep | tkruise:if I understand what you are looking for you can also search in aptitude for words in the package description by pressing / to get a search field, then ~d followed by the word to search for | 12:42 |
| schnuffle | sddhrthrt: because you haven't done an aptitude upgrade | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | sddhrthrt: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:42 |
| dboehmer | schnuffle, never mind that SSH problem. i had tested this in my local network before moving the host box to the "ISP". i removed and installed busybox and could verify that ONLY doing that changed the ability to start VMs | 12:42 |
| sddhrthrt | thanks schnuffle dboehmer i'll try. | 12:43 |

| Repox | Hello. I'm currently trying to install ImageMagick on my Ubuntu server. I tested ImageMagick on my Ubuntu desktop to see if I got the results I needed. Trying to convert a SVG file to something else fails on my Ubuntu server, but works fine on my Ubuntu desktop. It seems that ImageMagick, installed through apt-get (on both enviroments) has different configurations. Can I reconfigure a package? | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | sddhrthrt: log off it then uninstall it, reinstall new then reconnect | 12:47 |
| sddhrthrt | okay. serious problem. the reinstallation installed bitlbee 1.x again. any clues, ActionParsnip ? | 12:47 |
| dboehmer | schnuffle, i tried to open a shell with "busybox" but i only get a help text... *surprised* | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Repox: usually it's just: sudo apt-get install imagemagick | 12:47 |
| sddhrthrt | ok. i'm in a small mess here. i wanted bitlbee 3.05. 10.04 has only 1.x. so i added the nightly builds repo http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/ and apt-get updated. now, i can see these extra packages - bitlbee-dev 3.05 and bitlbee-common 3.05. bitlbee is still 1.x. Why? ActionParsnip | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | sddhrthrt: did you see the other version in the apt-cache search? | 12:48 |
| sddhrthrt | ActionParsnip: no. | 12:48 |
| Cookie2 | hello guys I got a REALLY big problem. I lost my password by accident. Actually I don't know how it changed today. I cannot log in anymore after booting my notebook. How do I get my data back? I encrypted my home-directory so even with a bootable USB-Stick I cannot get access to the data. HELP PLS!!!! :// The data is highly important for me! | 12:48 |
| Repox | ActionParsnip: Okay, this didn't fix the issue which means it can't be done... | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Repox: then run: convert input.svg output.png for example | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Cookie2: boot to root recovery mode and you can reset your password there | 12:50 |
| JelloPop | myhero1: hello | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Cookie2: I suggest you get a BACKUP system, then your data will never be in jeapordy. The fact you don't is pretty poor | 12:50 |

| Cookie2 | yeah ActionParsnip I back up on my server and my extern HDD but the last 1 week I didn't because my server crashed ... usually it backs up automatically. What do you mean by root recovery mode? How do I boot it. I have never been in such a situation yet, where I had to use it. | 12:52 |
| dboehmer | schnuffle, nevertheless. thank you for your effort! because i don't need serial i'll stick with removing serial devices from my VMs | 12:52 |

| myhero1 | no i hve downloaded tar.gz n saved it | 13:29 |
| ikonia | myhero1: download the winrar deb and it's dependecnies and save it | 13:30 |
| myhero1 | now i only copy that tar file 2 desktop n want 2 install frm it | 13:30 |
| ikonia | myhero1: or even better "install" ubuntu | 13:30 |
| ikonia | myhero1: rather than running it from a livecd | 13:30 |
| speakman | ikonia: I'm talking theories. Eventually it will become fragmented as any other filesystems. | 13:31 |
| ikonia | speakman: not really. it's only rare situations it will | 13:31 |
| myhero1 | m a windows guy.....win7 got crashed so i got the hdd out for recovery | 13:32 |
| schnuffle | speakman: to my knowledge the defrag tools for ext aren't ready for production | 13:32 |
| speakman | krod2389: That's what I'm trying to do. But I can't find any information regarding the fragmentation issues. And "because it doesn't" really doesn't help. | 13:32 |
| myhero1 | now i wanna try n learn ubuntu so rnning it frm usb | 13:32 |
| ikonia | speakman: it's quite well documented | 13:32 |
| ikonia | myhero1: ok, then you should download the packages from the repos | 13:32 |
| speakman | schnuffle: Why are there defrag tools when there's no need for it? @ikonia | 13:32 |
| myhero1 | when i'll b lil bit used 2 this then i'll install it | 13:32 |
| krod2389 | speakman: Stating "it will be as fragmented as other file systems" isn't true. Which file systems? NTFS for example? The architecture is very different | 13:32 |
| myhero1 | how 2 do it ? | 13:32 |
| ikonia | speakman: there is a "need" for the tools, but it's rare cases | 13:32 |
| sddhrthrt | speakman: ext4 is not supposed to fragment. i dont understand why you think its fragmented. | 13:32 |
| myhero1 | n what about linux packages offered by the parent co.'s | 13:33 |
| speakman | krod2389: NTFS has online defragmentation. So does ZFS, which makes it so famous. | 13:33 |
| ikonia | myhero1: use the ubuntu repos | 13:33 |
| myhero1 | then they all will b useless | 13:33 |
| krod2389 | speakman: NTFS is a pile of shit. Look at the drivers. | 13:33 |
| foo357 | Hello | 13:33 |
| ikonia | myhero1: they are not useless | 13:33 |
| myhero1 | then | 13:34 |
| A_I_ | hi | 13:34 |
| speakman | sddhrthrt: why is it NOT fragmented? Unless someone tells me WHY it can't be fragmented, it will. | 13:34 |
| sddhrthrt | speakman: ext4, unlike ntfs or zfs, does NOT fragment! | 13:34 |
| myhero1 | how 2 use those original files | 13:34 |
| ikonia | speakman: it's well documented, have a look | 13:34 |
| myhero1 | i got tar.gz on my desktop | 13:34 |
| A_I_ | I'm looking for some doc about plymouth themes and plugins | 13:34 |
| shaunatowell | schnuffle: i know if someone is on the other terminal they can type "screen bash" and I can type "screen -x" and see and interact with it.. but how can I use screen to see another terminal WITHOUT user interaction on the other end | 13:34 |
| ikonia | myhero1: you don't use those - they won't build without dependencies | 13:34 |
| schnuffle | speakman: the info that a ext systen can't fragment is wrong. It is good at avoiding it | 13:34 |
| ikonia | myhero1: downloading the dependencies will be bigger than just downloading the rar package each time | 13:34 |
| ikonia | myhero1: use the unrar package in the ubuntu repos | 13:34 |
| krod2389 | speakman: Just look at the EXT4 code, it's obvious | 13:34 |
| myhero1 | k | 13:34 |
| ikonia | it's not obvious in the code | 13:35 |
| ikonia | but the ext documentation is quite good | 13:35 |
| speakman | schnuffle: thanks | 13:35 |
| myhero1 | i unrared the files | 13:35 |
| myhero1 | now what | 13:35 |
| foo357 | I had to manually install packages python-wxgtk2.8 and python-wxversion, the problem is tha they depend upon eachother. So I did, "dpkg -i --force-deps python-wxversion" and then "dpkg -i python-wxgtk2.8" | 13:35 |
| mi3 | hey guys, after we select the "encrypt my home folder" option, we get that passphrase, right? how can we utilize that passphrase? any suggestions? | 13:35 |
| speakman | sddhrthrt: again, that's not an arguments. It's a statement. Point me to a source for your statement. | 13:35 |
| ikonia | mi3 utilize that passphrase ? | 13:35 |
| foo357 | can I be sure that these two packages are now properly configured | 13:35 |
| SwiftOffice | Can someone recommend guidelines for creating a bootable Ubuntu USB drive? | 13:36 |
| ikonia | speakman: read the ext documentation, there is also some solid information in kernel release notes | 13:36 |
| mi3 | yes, ikonia | 13:36 |
| ikonia | mi3: what do you mean ? | 13:36 |
| family | good morning, does anybody want to help me with grub booting? I have no ideal what to change, I installed xubuntu over regular ubuntu and now when I boot the PC the internet will not work, but when I select the older version it works fine. | 13:36 |
| sddhrthrt | anyway, speakman ext4 systems are known to last for very, very long time without fragmenting. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1368737 | 13:36 |
| Geralt | SwiftOffice: use the program usb-creator-gtk shipped with Ubuntu :) | 13:36 |
| mi3 | I mean that the passphrase must be for something, ikonia | 13:36 |
| sddhrthrt | speakman: i think you should've used google first, before getting into so many arguments. | 13:36 |
| schnuffle | shaunatowell: So your scenario is: You have somebody working in a terminal without using screen and you search for a opportunity to connect to it? | 13:36 |
| myhero1 | ikonia.... | 13:36 |
| ikonia | myhero1: what ? | 13:36 |
| myhero1 | what 2 do then...suggest / | 13:37 |
| myhero1 | ? | 13:37 |
| esing2 | hi | 13:37 |
| ikonia | myhero1: I suggest you install the unrar package from the ubuntu repos | 13:37 |
| esing2 | how do i change my password in ubuntu | 13:37 |
| SwiftOffice | Thanks Geralt - no surprise it would be that simple. | 13:37 |
| myhero1 | how 2 get then | 13:37 |
| myhero1 | them | 13:37 |
| mydogsnameisrudy | myhero1: needs a peersistent usb | 13:37 |
| mi3 | unrar....thanks for reminding... | 13:37 |
| myhero1 | k | 13:37 |
| esing2 | if I write sudo *something* i have to enter a password, but I want to change that one , how ? | 13:37 |
| ikonia | myhero1: open the package manager, search for unrar and install it | 13:37 |
| Geralt | the easiest way to defragment is to backup your data, then format the partition and copy your data back | 13:37 |
| ikonia | esing2: change your own user password | 13:37 |
| myhero1 | u mean synaptics ? | 13:38 |
| ikonia | myhero1: sure | 13:38 |
| esing2 | ikonia so the password iam asked for after writing "sudo" is my user password ? | 13:38 |
| sddhrthrt | Geralt: right. that's what the thread says, too. :) | 13:38 |
| mi3 | ?? | 13:38 |
| ikonia | esing2: correct | 13:38 |
| ikonia | mi3: what ?? | 13:38 |
| mi3 | I mean that the passphrase must be for something, ikonia | 13:38 |
| myhero1 | this live usb doesn't has snapticcs | 13:38 |
| myhero1 | i hve 2 do it frm terminal | 13:38 |
| ikonia | mi3: is a pass phrase you set | 13:38 |
| ikonia | mi3: it has software center | 13:38 |
| mi3 | what is that passphrase for? | 13:38 |
| ikonia | mi3: use that | 13:38 |
| ikonia | mi3: decrypting the home dir | 13:38 |
| sddhrthrt | myhero1: its synaptic | 13:38 |
| ikonia | mi3: remember when I said read https://help.ubuntu.com to learn the basics | 13:38 |
| ikonia | mi3: have you done that ? | 13:39 |
| myhero1 | how 2 do it frm terminal | 13:39 |
| mi3 | so when do we need to decrypt that home folder, ikonia? | 13:39 |
| ikonia | myhero1: use software center | 13:39 |
| esing2 | ikonia good to know , thanks. do i change it with : sudo passwd my-user-account ? | 13:39 |
| ikonia | mi3: when you want to read what's on the encypted drive | 13:39 |
| mi3 | I used that link, ikonia, thanks | 13:39 |
| mi3 | ok..so how to apply it? | 13:39 |
| myhero1 | yea synaptic... | 13:39 |
| AddeBC | Hi, i installed a package using dpkg -i mypackage.deb and now i wish to remove that package, how do i go about? Thanks | 13:39 |
| ikonia | esing2: that can work sure | 13:39 |
| ikonia | esing2: or the user admin gui | 13:39 |
| schnuffle | esing2: as user its enough to do passwd | 13:39 |
| ikonia | mi3: what ? | 13:39 |
| ikonia | mi3: you are not making any sense | 13:39 |
| mi3 | ikonia, let me improve the sentence.... :) | 13:40 |
| myhero1 | how 2 do it frm software center | 13:41 |
| magicJ | I have a system that auto connects by ethernet to the modem/router when it boots or I manually ask it to. If the modem/router re-boots it does not re-connect and I need to do it manually, why? | 13:41 |
| mi3 | ikonia, how can the passphrase be used to decrypt the home folder? is it to be used from a live cd? Is it used to decrypt and recover the data? | 13:41 |
| bastidrazor | AddeBC: you should be able to sudo apt-get remove packagename ..what was the name of .deb? | 13:41 |
| schnuffle | AddeBC: you do sudo apt-get remove <package> | 13:41 |
| ikonia | mi3: the pass phrased is used when ever you want to decrypt the data on the disk for use | 13:41 |
| ikonia | mi3: that can be from when you boot up the machine, to any point after that | 13:41 |
| sysrpl | can someone help me get my application switcher working? i'm on 11.10 and am using gnome classic. when i alt tab right now nothng happens. 've messed with compiz settings manager and i can't get it the application switcher working at all | 13:41 |
| mi3 | ikonia, so how do I input that passphrase? simply type it in the terminal or what? whats the correct method? | 13:42 |
| ikonia | mi3: you will be prompted for it | 13:42 |
| ikonia | mi3: do you currently have an encrypted disk, yes/no | 13:42 |
| mi3 | no | 13:42 |
| ikonia | mi3: right, do you wnat to encypt a disk | 13:43 |
| mi3 | yes | 13:43 |
| sddhrthrt | sysrpl: add the shortcut in System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts | 13:43 |

| ikonia | sddhrthrt: bitlbee is in the repos | 13:46 |

| schnuffle | sddhrthrt: any logs? | 13:46 |
| mi3 | ikonia, this guide is for ubuntu 9.10, will the instructions contained in it work for ubuntu 11.04? I am using that one currently | 13:47 |

| sddhrthrt | schnuffle: any idea where to check? | 13:47 |
| ikonia | sddhrthrt: do you need a different version ? | 13:47 |
| sddhrthrt | ikonia: drastically newer, 3.05. all commands are revamped. i'm helpless. | 13:48 |
| tafelpoot | anyone an idea? | 13:48 |
| schnuffle | sddhrthrt: syslog | 13:48 |
| schnuffle | tafelpoot: check your firewall rules | 13:48 |
| tafelpoot | no firewall rules present | 13:48 |
| ikonia | sddhrthrt: telnet to the port - make sure xinet is launched | 13:48 |

When I go home I want to be able to bring the terminal that I left open at work up on my machine at home, but since no one will be at my work machine i need to be able to take it over witout user intervention | 13:49 |
| sddhrthrt | krod2389: since it runs on boot, ther's no terminal attached to it. | 13:50 |
| tafelpoot | schnuffle: I am sure ;-) (and rechecked it specially for you ;-)) | 13:50 |
| schnuffle | shaunatowell: thats exactlly what screen does. When you leave your büro you detach your session with ctrl+A+D And at home you connect with ssh and reattach to your session. If only one is present screen -r will do | 13:51 |
| sddhrthrt | ikonia: ok.how do you do that? i'm a noob at telnet. | 13:51 |
| schnuffle | tafelpoot: fine | 13:51 |
| schnuffle | tafelpoot: can A use other services from C like ssh? | 13:51 |
| speakman | sddhrthrt: I did use Google but couldn't find any information. That's why I ended up in here. But everyone just got statements. | 13:52 |
| tafelpoot | nope... I found the problem because puppet couldn't connect to the puppet server | 13:52 |

| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 14:17 |
| himsin | !nounity | 14:17 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 14:17 |
| tafelpoot | schnuffle: I am off... I hope I find a solution... feel free to pm me! | 14:17 |
| Amoug | Why isn't inetd/xinetd installed/used by default ? | 14:18 |
| schnuffle | tafelpoot: good luck | 14:18 |
| ZarroBoogs | asteve: You might be able to discern some sort of exit status from the cron job via /var/log/syslog | 14:18 |
| mkultra_ | sound net + other physical things have many layers of problems to them | 14:19 |
| asteve | ZarroBoogs: I checked there first, no luck | 14:19 |
| schnuffle | Amoug: because by default there're no services that use it | 14:19 |
| krod2389 | Archwyle: Have you tried using "Restricted Drivers" manager in Ubuntu to install the proprietary NVidia drivers? | 14:19 |
| ZarroBoogs | Archwyle: 12.04 support is in #ubuntu+1 until its release. | 14:19 |
| asteve | I normally redirect all of my cron jobs to their own respective log files but my boss set one up and asked me if I can find the output :) | 14:19 |
| mkultra_ | i have wifi on my 10.10 usb boot drive, and lose it on my 12.04 / 11.10 | 14:19 |
| krod2389 | ZarroBoogs: No-one responds in #ubuntu+1 so pointless asking there | 14:19 |
| Amoug | schnuffle, and you have services running (web, dns etc...) is it advised to use it ? | 14:19 |
| mkultra_ | i joined up to +1, but yeah 12 is front page | 14:20 |
| Archwyle | krod2389: they do not show in that panel | 14:20 |
| Archwyle | ZarroBoogs: ty | 14:20 |
| _george_ | t | 14:20 |
| schnuffle | Amoug: No if you want the services to perform well, Yes if its just occaisonal use like for FTP | 14:20 |
| krod2389 | krod2389: You'll need to download the drivers from the NVidia site then. Not as easy as with Windows though | 14:20 |
| bobweaver | Archwyle, could you open you terminal and enter :: lspci -nn | grep VGA and paste here | 14:21 |
| mkultra_ | gksu jockey-gtk? | 14:21 |
| schnuffle | Amoug: most daemons come with a init.d or upstart config | 14:21 |
| Amoug | schnuffle, so I better stick to using init.d scripts + tcp wrappers for security ? | 14:22 |
| sacarlson | mkultra_: did you make sure to install linux-firmware ? | 14:22 |
| Archwyle | krod2389: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:a001] (rev 02) | 14:23 |
| Archwyle | 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:0a76] (rev a2) | 14:23 |
| bobweaver | Archwyle, lets do this on +1 | 14:23 |
| schnuffle | Amoug: Yes, if you need tcpwrapper then just use it. I don't as mostly my services have to be accessible from everywhere | 14:23 |
| qwerty123 | hey guys, I'm currently dual booting my computer with Windows 7 (mainly) and ubuntu (about 20gb). Is there any way i can delete the Ubuntu partition, and add that extra 20gb to one of my Windows 7 partitions, without losing anything on Windows 7? | 14:24 |
| _zoom_ | hi, I need to setup a vpn using pppoe | 14:24 |
| Amoug | schnuffle, thanks for the answer... I was asking about Xinetd from a security perspective | 14:24 |

| mcb_ | Out of the blue, my desktop stoped to consult DNS servers. I am unable to resolve names. Using Ubuntu 10.10. I did a tcpdump and when i try to ping <name> i dont even see a request to the DNS server, and the ping command reports an erro the could not find the host...... Anyone have any clues? I use DHCP, all interface configurations are OK, It started today qhen i started the machine. | 14:24 |
| troulouliou_dev | qwerty123, delete ubuntu partition with gparted , rebuild mbr with win 7 disc and increase with gparted again | 14:25 |
| krod2389 | qwerty123: Yes | 14:25 |
| qwerty123 | is gparted a downloadable exe file, or an iso? | 14:26 |
| FrozenMind | qwerty123: You can use Partition Magic on a Windows computer, or Gparted which comes on some distros of Ubuntu, or if you do not have it on the current LIVE CD you can make one through Ubuntu or by using another Live Distro like Deft (if I remember Correctly...). | 14:26 |
| sacarlson | mcb_: try manualy change the dns server in network-manager gui to point to google dns server address 8.8.8.8 | 14:26 |
| sacarlson | !gparted | 14:27 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | qwerty123: its on the install CD | 14:27 |
| krod2389 | sacarlson: I wouldn't use the Google DNS server, you become part of their botnet | 14:27 |
| mcb_ | sacarlson: Did that, as I said, my machine dont even make a DNS request.... I can t imagine why it sopped. | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | krod2389: got a link to back that up? | 14:27 |
| qwerty123 | and once installed, is it a user firendly layout? or does it require some knowledge? | 14:28 |
| sacarlson | krod2389: you can use it to test, you can later change it to bind9 or opendns as you wish | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | qwerty123: its fairly self explanatory | 14:28 |
| krod2389 | ActionParsnip: Just use wireshark and monitor your traffic. | 14:28 |
| qwerty123 | cool, thank you guys | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | krod2389: might just do that :) | 14:28 |
| sacarlson | krod2389: I use google because it's the only one I can keep in my small brain | 14:29 |
| FrozenMind | qwerty123: or you can use the disk resize feature if you have an NTFS PArtition for your windows 7 computer by going to Start > Right Click "Computer" > Manage > Disk Managment > and then right click your disk partition and resize it.using "Extend Volume" | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | krod2389: mind you, I use chromium so it may have that in it too | 14:29 |
| krod2389 | ActionParsnip: I'd recommend against using Chromium. Better to use an open source browser like Firefox | 14:29 |
| ZarroBoogs | krod2389: Please don't spread FUD here, Chromium is open source. | 14:30 |
| FrozenMind | krod2389: Chromium isnt open source? I thought it was Google Chrome that wasnt open source? | 14:30 |
| tkruise | Aren't both of them? | 14:30 |
| qwerty123 | FrozenMind, that is how i partitioned it in the first place, can i go into a PM with you by any chance? | 14:31 |
| krod2389 | ZarroBoogs: Not really, it's a watered down version of a proprietary product for which you receive *some* of the source code | 14:31 |
| FrozenMind | qwerty123: sure pm away :) | 14:32 |
| sacarlson | !chromium | 14:32 |
| ubottu | You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 14:32 |

| mkultra_ | chrome is chromium isnt it? | 14:33 |
| christina | hey friends i need simple help with rar and zip please help | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | mkultra_: chromium is the open source version. The bugs reported in chromium go to help chrome. Google then add some proprietary blobs and call it chrome | 14:34 |
| FrozenMind | Chrome =/= Chromium... Google bought rights to use Chromium as the main base for their browser and then added features, please correct if wrong o.O | 14:34 |
| krod2389 | ActionParsnip: Don't forget about the tracking code ;) | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | christina: install unp rar and unrar and you are golden | 14:34 |

| yoshimi-pink | this may be off subject but i dont know where to start, where can i ask about adding a magnet link to the pirate bay | 14:36 |
| imachine | jeregon, like, lftp can ftp it down | 14:36 |
| imachine | jeregon, or sftp, but lftp can use sftp | 14:36 |
| shaunatowell | jergeron: depends what you have the server running | 14:36 |
| krod2389 | christina: I don't understand your question | 14:36 |
| imachine | jeregon, depends really what services offering the file are ran on the server side | 14:36 |
| ZarroBoogs | christina: Thats really not within the scope of this channel. ##security might be able to point you in the right direction though. | 14:36 |
| jeregon | imachine: can you explain? | 14:36 |
| christina | thanks | 14:36 |
| indigo | does anyone know how to make caps-lock behave like ctrl *without* using gnome? XkbOptions ctrl:nocaps in xorg.conf doesn't seem to work anymore. | 14:36 |
| jeregon | imachine: ssh | 14:37 |
| imachine | jeregon, the server has to provide a file in some way; either via ftp, ssh or www | 14:37 |
| shaunatowell | jergeron does you swerver have samba or ssh running? | 14:37 |
| imachine | jeregon, so use sftp, it's a subset of ssh, allowing file transfer via secure tunnel. | 14:37 |
| shaunatowell | jergeron if you have ssh i think you can use scp | 14:37 |
| jeregon | shaunatowell: ssh | 14:37 |
| krod2389 | indigo: Do you have access to a soldering iron? | 14:37 |
| imachine | jeregon, lftp is a nice console ftp client which does sftp as well | 14:37 |
| jeregon | imachine: how | 14:37 |
| imachine | jeregon, man scp, man sftp, man lftp | 14:37 |
| shaunatowell | imachine only he he has ftp installed tho | 14:37 |
| jeregon | imachine: ok | 14:37 |
| shaunatowell | scp would be better jeregon | 14:38 |
| imachine | jeregon, in general, lftp [enter], open sftp://username:pass@server | 14:38 |

| imachine | jeregon, I pretty much gave you the answer | 14:39 |
| shaunatowell | jeregon what does your computer run (the one you are copying the file to | 14:39 |
| jeregon | ok | 14:39 |

| imachine | ;) | 14:39 |
| kaizokuj | I'm having trouble with ecryptfs, can anyone help me ? | 14:39 |
| shaunatowell | but make sure you select scp (since i assume based on your question, youve never set up an FTP server) | 14:40 |
| imachine | shaunatowell, he has ssh | 14:40 |
| shaunatowell | but since ssh is working you can use SCP | 14:40 |
| imachine | shaunatowell, if he hasn't turned off the sftp subsystem, he's good to go | 14:40 |
| krod2389 | kaizokuj: Just try asking your question | 14:40 |
| shaunatowell | imachine: i thought u needed an ftp server to connect with sftp? | 14:40 |
| imachine | shaunatowell, no, you do not. | 14:41 |
| shaunatowell | oh | 14:41 |
| shaunatowell | shows what i know | 14:41 |
| shaunatowell | lol | 14:41 |
| imachine | shaunatowell, sftp is pretty much a subsys of ssh | 14:41 |
| shaunatowell | i see | 14:41 |
| shaunatowell | i've always used scp | 14:41 |
| shaunatowell | my fault | 14:41 |
| FloodBot1 | shaunatowell: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:41 |
| imachine | I think, but I may be wrong here, that you can use sftp almost always, but scp always | 14:41 |
| kaizokuj | well, I setup a new server running oneiric yesterday I think, and today I had to restart due to a problem here at home and now it wont mount the encrypted stuff, which I thought it should have done automagically. | 14:41 |
| imachine | because of the subsystem need server side | 14:41 |
| imachine | if you turn off sftp server side, scp might work; I *think* | 14:42 |
| imachine | that's just me thinking though, not 100% sure | 14:42 |
| kaizokuj | When I try to manually do it using ecryptfs-mount-private it asks for a passphrase but keeps telling me its wrong no matter what I do | 14:42 |
| mneptok | kaizokuj: filesystems encrypted with LVM and dm-crypt only auto-decrypt if the password type is a random seed. usually only used for swap space. | 14:42 |

| blackthor | so, hmmm i'll repeat my question, since nobody responded | 15:19 |
| blackthor | is there any way to map detected iscsi devices to a fixed devicename ? i have a NAS which i use openiscsi to connect with (it has 2 volumes). everything fine, except every month or 2 the 2 volumes (/dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1) get swapped. any ideas? thanks | 15:19 |
| zykotick9 | blackthor: is there a way to use UUIDs or Labels instead of device names? | 15:20 |
| llutz | blackthor: can't you use UUIDs? | 15:20 |
| llutz | too slow :( | 15:20 |
| zykotick9 | blackthor: device names cannot be relied on (as you have experienced) they change | 15:20 |
| Atauz | hi | 15:25 |
| zykotick9 | Atauz: hello. Do you have a question? If so, ask away. | 15:25 |

| ThomasBoxley | Hello, I am running the latest beta of Ubuntu Precise. My desktop language seems to have changed to Chinese, and going in the Language Support settings and clicking English doesn't seem to do anything :| | 15:26 |
| zykotick9 | schnuffle: thanks. (you'd have to get up pretty early to find a factoid i'm not aware of ;) | 15:27 |
| qwerty123 | ThomasBoxley , the easiest way is to learn Chinese | 15:27 |
| krod2389 | ThomasBoxley: Try joining #ubuntu+1 | 15:27 |
| krod2389 | ThomasBoxley: That's for support of unreleased versions | 15:27 |
| schnuffle | zykotick9: it was the first I learned | 15:27 |

| dekatch | hi, when installing ubuntu 12.x beta! can i easely get the final release with upgrade command? | 15:28 |
| jtrucks | so I have a fresh 10.04 LTS install, and apt-cache search iperf comes up with no results, but on http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=iperf&searchon=names&suite=lucid§ion=all finds the package. | 15:28 |
| jtrucks | what am I doing wrong? | 15:28 |
| zykotick9 | !final | dekatch | 15:28 |
| ubottu | dekatch: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. | 15:28 |
| schnuffle | jtrucks: have you universe and multiverse activated? | 15:29 |
| Atauz | why my laptop is heated to shut down? | 15:29 |
| jtrucks | just the default. do youhave a link handy to point me on the right path? | 15:29 |
| bazhang | !info iperf lucid | jtrucks | 15:29 |
| ubottu | jtrucks: iperf (source: iperf): Internet Protocol bandwidth measuring tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.4-5 (lucid), package size 52 kB, installed size 192 kB | 15:29 |
| dekatch | zykotick9 i meant something different! i want to install the 12.04 beta2! i just want to know if i can upgrade later with this beta? | 15:30 |
| schnuffle | jtrucks: the link you provided told you that its in universe | 15:30 |
| schnuffle | jtrucks: so you have to activate at least universe to be able to install it | 15:30 |
| jtrucks | schnuffle: right. which isn't in the default sources.list... | 15:30 |
| bazhang | jtrucks, open up synaptic package manager and check that the main universe and other repos in the first tab are all checked | 15:30 |
| schnuffle | jtrucks: I think in software center you can enable it | 15:30 |
| zykotick9 | dekatch: ? same answer? | 15:30 |
| jtrucks | bazhang: is that a GUI tool? | 15:31 |
| schnuffle | jtrucks: yes | 15:31 |
| dekatch | or in other words :D can i upgrade the 12.04 beta2 to the final release later? | 15:31 |
| dekatch | zykotick9 yes or no pls :D | 15:31 |
| bazhang | jtrucks, are you on server? | 15:31 |
| bazhang | dekatch, he already told you | 15:31 |
| jtrucks | oh, well, I'm not running X. it's a headless server install.. but it looks like I figured it out. | 15:31 |
| === NotKruz is now known as VunKruz | ||
| bazhang | in /etc/apt/sources.list uncomment the proper one , being universe jtrucks | 15:32 |

| bazhang | dekatch, read that and stop repeating. #ubuntu+1 for more discussion | 15:33 |
| dekatch | ok, does "development version" mean beta version in other words? | 15:33 |
| schnuffle | jtrucks: have you seen my link, at the bottom you got all you need | 15:33 |
| bazhang | dekatch, ----> #ubuntu+1 | 15:33 |
| jtrucks | yeah, I found https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/configuration.html which shows me what to do, as well (using s/natty/lucid/) right? | 15:34 |
| dekatch | god damn dont try to be that smart! its a "development version" a "beta version"? | 15:34 |
| Phrogz | Is there a simpler, more elegant way to find the PID of a process using a port than: lsof -i :8080 | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $2}' | 15:34 |
| jtrucks | dekatch: yes. | 15:34 |
| dekatch | thats another question dude | 15:34 |

| markss | I havent been able to find anything that says what Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid will be doing for Thunderbird once Thunderbird 3.1 is End-Of-Life'd on 2012-04-24. Presumably upgrading to Thunderbird 11, but I would have expected that to have happened already, or at least be talked about like the Firefox 10 transition was. Anyone know if Lucid's Thunderbird will just be left at 3.1 or if there is an upgrade plan to Thunderbird 11? (Note this is for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid). | 15:39 |
| markss | Thanks. | 15:39 |
| rogst | chiiiiiz: depends on itf it has a inlocked bootloader, and you need a image of ubuntu that supports the cpu architecure | 15:39 |
| FrozenMind | chiiiiiz: Aye, you should be able to, I suggest Ubuntu Remix if it is still out there :) I use it for mine and liked it (and then removed it for fun >.>) | 15:39 |

| kingkatari | I am on ubuntu desktop 11.10 | 15:45 |
| markss | Cookie2: I was scrolling up and saw a question you had about your password and encrypted home. I'm not very familiar with that setup, but just to throw out some ideas: Since you aren't sure how your password changed, it might be that your keyboard is starting to have hardware failures for some keys. Try verifying that each key in your password does actually output to screen. Verify that the shift key works if you press shift while entering your password. N | 15:45 |
| markss | ote that your system password and your encrypted home password are probably stored differently. So probably can't just change your system password and expect it to recover your home, BUT it may also mean that if your system password is now unexpectedly different, your encrypted home password may still be the same. You will need to do some googling to see what people say about this problem. I'm sure you have been. Sorry I can't tell you much more than that. H | 15:45 |
| markss | ope you can get your data back ! | 15:45 |
| remoteCTRL | kingkatari: with what are you trying to accomplish you goal? i can recommend firestarter as a nice frontend to iptables | 15:46 |
| === bladernr_ is now known as bladernr_afk | ||

| kingkatari | i want to be able to open select ports on eth0 | 15:47 |
| kingkatari | since i will be running servers | 15:47 |
| remoteCTRL | kingkatari: i understood that, did you understand what i asked you? | 15:47 |
| kingkatari | I want thoes ports accessible only on connections that come in via ETH0 | 15:48 |
| kingkatari | if thats not what you ment then no | 15:48 |
| remoteCTRL | kingkatari: you keep repeating what we already understood, HOW ARE YOU TRYING TO DO IT? | 15:49 |
| rogst | kingkatari: you can configure iptables to only allow the port on eth0 | 15:49 |
| llutz | kingkatari: most services have config-options as "listen, address, iface" where you can configure where it should listen at | 15:49 |
| kingkatari | well when i ran netstat listen it showed that it was listening on them ports but it also showed 0.0.0.0 | 15:51 |
| ActionPa1snip | kingkatari: you'll need to configure ufw or iptables | 15:51 |
| llutz | kingkatari: what service? | 15:51 |
| kingkatari | SSH | 15:51 |

| mmonat | sorry...i am in under my personal email adress | 15:54 |
| mmonat | thx | 15:54 |
| ActionPa1snip | kingkatari: use iptables or ufw to block port 22 traffic on all interfaces except eth0 | 15:55 |
| llutz | kingkatari: thats the option you use to let sshd listen at a specific address and not at all (default) | 15:55 |
| remoteCTRL | llutz: it is the Pr0 solution, dude, yet i feel you are confusing the guy... :) | 15:56 |

| iceroot | s2f|ZetraX: quakenet, offtopic here | 16:19 |
| FrozenMind | cat = a different form of DD... DD you can actually obliterate your hdd, cat just spews it to the screen or file lol (unless you did > /dev/sd(ect) ) | 16:19 |
| FrozenMind | that was to ghoti | 16:19 |
| s2f|ZetraX | thx iceroot, was some years ago i was using irc so i forgotten everything :P | 16:20 |
| ActionPa1snip | s2f|ZetraX: try ##windows | 16:20 |
| zykotick9 | FrozenMind: with redirection (ie ">" in most cases) you can also use cat to create ISO images, as well as create USB boot devices | 16:22 |
| zykotick9 | FrozenMind: and cat is just as dangerous as dd | 16:22 |
| ghoti | FrozenMind: another difference is that dd forces reads and writes to be of a particular block size. Also, cat actually uses the shell to write, rather than doing it itself, so it needs extra care when you run it using `sudo`. | 16:23 |

| josten | How do I get rid of the old software and Kernels after an update? Grub still gives me the option to boot older the older version 3.0.0-12. I don't need it taking up space. | 16:33 |
| ActionParsnip | NiBi: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 16:34 |
| zykotick9 | josten: uninstall them, to get a list "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" | 16:34 |

| drdee | Hi folks, I got 4 identical machines, all running 10.10 server edition. 1 one of them randomly crashes very frequently. It's not the memory (I checked that) and it's not the hard drives, I checked that as well. There are no traces in the log files, how can I debug this? | 16:35 |
| josten | zykotick9: once I have the list, how do I uninstall? | 16:35 |
| ActionParsnip | josten: what is the output of: dpkg -l | grep 3.0.0-12 | 16:35 |
| zykotick9 | josten: same way you uninstall anything else. what package manager do you use? | 16:36 |
| NiBi | ActionParsnip, thank you | 16:36 |
| orkaa | hi | 16:36 |
| ActionParsnip | josten: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | NiBi: it said it in your pastebin dude.... | 16:37 |
| orkaa | has anyone ever tried to backport gobject-introspection from precise -> oneiric? | 16:37 |
| FrozenMind | drdee: crash as in it just turns off for no reason, stalls or hangs and then shut down, or? cause if it turns off, powersupply maybe... stalls and hangs, bad memory (check with memtest if you havent done that already) o.O | 16:37 |

| ActionParsnip | NiBi: read the last line... | 16:38 |
| FrozenMind | drdee: let me rephrase, did this problem start after you updated the computer | 16:38 |
| drdee | FrozenMind: Not sure what you mean, it boots fine after a crash and I reset it | 16:38 |
| drdee | FrozenMind: not that I am aware off, the other 3 machines have the same config | 16:39 |
| drdee | FrozenMind: my suspison is that it is somehow USB related but that's more a hunch than facts | 16:39 |
| josten | ActionParsnip: paste.ubuntu.com/911697 | 16:40 |
| FrozenMind | drdee: lol sorry, my hands are not being nice to me... and ok... hmm... driver maybe? what makes you think usb? | 16:40 |
| josten | ActionParsnip: will that also remove the option to boot it in GRUB | 16:42 |
| ct529 | it is possible to install fring on ubuntu? I do not seem to be able to find appropriate information (that is information that actually works) | 16:42 |
| drdee | FrozenMind: well a year ago the exact same problem happened to another machine, there I disabled USB on the motherboard and then the problem went away. No the first machine (with USB enabled) does not have the problem but another one has it. but it just sucks to disable USB :) | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | josten: so youhave a later kernel than that? | 16:43 |
| josten | ActionParsnip: I just updated to 3.0.0-17 | 16:44 |
| ActionParsnip | josten: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 16:44 |
| zykotick9 | ct529: get fring on iphone, android or nokia - is there even a windows version? anyways, good luck. | 16:44 |
| FrozenMind | drdee: that is interesting... how old are the mobo's? and to tell youthe truth, if it worked before, maybe try it again and if it does, maybe look into a new mobo... out of curiosity, what os are you using? 10? 11? | 16:45 |
| drdee | FrozenMind: mobo's? i am running 10.10 server | 16:46 |
| drdee | motherboards? | 16:46 |
| FrozenMind | drdee: mobo = motherboards :) | 16:46 |
| drdee | FrozenMind: 18 months | 16:46 |
| FrozenMind | drdee: ouch o.O ok... hmm... i wonder if the driver on your 10.10 got updated, or maybe there could be a actual problem with the mobo itself and screwing with the os? :s i am not sure where to go with this... | 16:47 |

| drdee | FrozenMind: np, thanks! | 16:55 |
| Koheleth | ActionParsnip: thanks will check it out | 16:55 |
| auronandace | ActionParsnip: i think the factoid is !panels | 16:56 |

| ActionParsnip | auronandace: yeah I just bothered ubottu til she gave what I wanted | 16:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Koheleth: watch settings and have as many apps CLOSED as you can, avoid settings that say they will take a long time | 16:57 |

| Koheleth | ActionParsnip: just looking, running as root, I just want to shred trash when it empties | 16:59 |
| tom_toc | I am assuming the first step to fixing my problem is to boot via liveCD... then I copy some config files over.. I've gone through this before a long time ago, but googling has not be rewarded. | 17:00 |

| gallo | so is your spelling sysRPL | 17:30 |
| ZarroBoogs | sysRPL: Also this is a support channel, not somewhere to complain about such things. | 17:30 |
| sysRPL | sorry, unity is a turd | 17:30 |
| auronandace | sysRPL: good thing nobody is forcing you to use it | 17:30 |
| sysRPL | chrome keeps unpinning itslef, twice now it doesn't show in my alt-tab list, no window previews ... my ide menus are screwed up since it uses multiple floating windows | 17:31 |
| sysRPL | alt-tab is horrible slow | 17:31 |
| Miscni | hubsinger, true true, but my problem is, that my danish Ubuntu-server, dont wanna send messages, with æøå, just need to find a workaround for it, but cant seem to find anything on google | 17:31 |
| mcb_ | sysRPL: Use gnome, Kde, xfce, or any other that you do like. | 17:32 |
| sysRPL | 1/2 the compiz setting no longer work | 17:32 |
| Fyodorovna | tom_toc, you want to really give some back info on how you got where your at.... such as this is a failed graphic driver install. Grub and graphic together has a lot of possibilities. | 17:32 |
| hubsinger | Miscni: sorry but i can't follow .... | 17:32 |
| tom_toc | Fyodorovna: Not sure, I set up dual monitors, with ATI third party drivers. Everything worked fine, but some recent change must have messed things up.. Rebooting or logging in via recovery mode does not seem to help. Just a black screen. So I want to just fall back to a generic monitor configuration. | 17:34 |
| Miscni | hubsinger, My problem is, that when I use SSH, to my server, then I cant use ÆØÅ in joe, but if I do it manully, then there is no problem, except, that it still doesn't show in æøå | 17:34 |
| sysRPL | gnome-do is actually beter than dash-home since gnome do remembers which set of keystrokes match which apps ... | 17:35 |
| tom_toc | Fyodorovna: LiveCD has no problem with my display. Nor does windows, so I'm thinking I just need to chance some x conf file. | 17:35 |
| hubsinger | Miscni: also with nano or something similar ? | 17:35 |
| kesi | Intermittently, Unity quits to a window with a Plymouth error and I can't pinpoint what I'm doing at the time to cause it. The only common thing is that I always have FF open. Any suggestions? I've run all updates. | 17:36 |
| Miscni | hubsinger, yeah even with nano also, but the whole installation plus languange, are Danish | 17:36 |
| server_ | what should i do about it if its pre reased? | 17:36 |
| Fyodorovna | tom_toc, you might get in with nomodeset inserted into the kernel line at the installs grub menu. This is out of my area in general for help though. | 17:36 |
| Fyodorovna | !nomodeset | tom_toc | 17:36 |
| ubottu | tom_toc: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 17:36 |
| sysRPL | clicking on gedit which shows an active instance in the unity launcher doesn't do a dang thing | 17:37 |
| tom_toc | Fyodorovna: sounds like a promising approach! Thanks for the pointer! | 17:37 |
| Unknown0BC | Hi, have any of you ever changed a key on the keyboard through keyboard layouts ? | 17:37 |

| corewillem | i'm trying to get crossover 10 work | 18:07 |

| auronandace | !12.04 | corewillem | 18:07 |
| ubottu | corewillem: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 18:07 |
| tom_toc | bobo37773: I can load live CD and check | 18:07 |
| ikonia | corewillem: the cross-over support guys are the best people to ask | 18:07 |
| corewillem | but than it say that my python is wrong | 18:07 |

| ikonia | corewillem: don't know what you just said, but cross-over is a comercial product | 18:08 |
| corewillem | is the output | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | corewillem: ask in #ubuntu+1 please | 18:08 |
| corewillem | yeah i know | 18:08 |
| ikonia | corewillem: the cross-over support people will help y ou | 18:08 |
| corewillem | but for support you must pay | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | corewillem: so why ask here then.. | 18:08 |
| ikonia | corewillem: that's how comercial products work | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | corewillem: no, its free for ubuntu support here | 18:08 |
| tom_toc | bobo37773: I have done it before but it's been a long time | 18:08 |
| bobo37773 | corewillem: It's an interpretter problem. You probably need to change python to python2 or python2.7 etcetra in crossover | 18:08 |
| corewillem | yeah | 18:09 |
| ikonia | corewillem: http://www.codeweavers.com/support/ | 18:09 |
| corewillem | but i need to install python | 18:09 |
| corewillem | nothing more nothing less | 18:09 |
| corewillem | is that so difficult ? | 18:09 |
| Dragin | How do I check to see if my Ubuntu firewall is blocking me from connecting to a server that I've been trying to get running for three days now? :( | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | corewillem: python is installed, your release is supported in #ubuntu+1 til release day | 18:09 |
| ikonia | corewillem: yes | 18:09 |
| bobo37773 | corewillem: python should have been pulled in as a dependency. That isn't the problem | 18:09 |
| ikonia | bobo37773: it is the problem, it's an incompatible version of python | 18:09 |
| corewillem | and can't i install a compatible version | 18:10 |
| bobo37773 | ikonia: Are you sure it's not crossover calling the wrong version? | 18:10 |
| hubsinger | corewillem: currently there are 40 people in #crossover | 18:10 |
| Unknown0BC | Is there a way to trun the "\|" key next to the "z" key to act like a "shift" key ? | 18:10 |
| corewillem | k i will check it out | 18:10 |
| pepee | Dragin, what firewall? | 18:10 |
| ikonia | bobo37773: pretty sure as the version it wants isn't in 12.04 | 18:10 |
| mneptok | corewillem: you have 2 problems in this channel. you are using a commercial product that not many use, and you are using a pre-release version of Ubuntu. 12.04 questions belong elsewhere. | 18:10 |
| bobo37773 | ikonia: Ah I see. | 18:10 |
| Dragin | default? | 18:11 |
| pepee | !firewall | 18:12 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 18:12 |

| mobilenoob11 | Hey everyone. Is Evolution the best calendar app for ubuntu, or is there something elese I should know about? | 18:12 |

| mobilenoob11 | no | 18:12 |
| mobilenoob11 | just like to get opinions | 18:13 |
| pepee | Dragin, check if the firewall is enabled with 'ufw status' | 18:13 |
| Dragin | checking | 18:13 |
| bobo37773 | tom_toc: Maybe the UID got messed up during recovery. Hard to say. Doesn't sound like an hdd issue to me though | 18:13 |
| mobilenoob11 | Is that off topic? | 18:13 |
| pepee | Dragin, it could be the remote machine that's blocking you | 18:13 |

| tom_toc | encouraging. at a minium, I can probably backup my system (/home anyway) and reinstall ubuntu.. Not my favorite option, but a path forward. | 18:14 |

| bobo37773 | tom_toc: Back up and just do a clean install. | 18:22 |
| xangua | classroom: did you read the instructions at ubunutu.com ¿ | 18:22 |
| classroom | yes for sure | 18:22 |
| classroom | now i wanted burn the ISO on media | 18:22 |
| classroom | but he tells me there is no media in the disk burner!!! | 18:22 |
| xangua | classroom: and then the problem is¿ | 18:22 |
| classroom | can not understand this | 18:22 |
| tom_toc | bobo37773: that sounds like a good path.. Is there a reccomended backup approach, or just grab /home? | 18:22 |
| classroom | he tells no CD in recorder | 18:23 |
| auronandace | classroom: do you have a blank cd in the cd drive? | 18:23 |
| classroom | no | 18:23 |
| bobo37773 | tom_toc: Use rsync to back up the whole thing if that's what you want. I usually back up /etc as I make a lot of changes there too. Also, you may want to create a list of all installed applications so you can install them back all at once. | 18:23 |
| classroom | have i ??? | 18:23 |
| formatproblem | can someone tell me how can I solve my problem? http://pastebin.com/49HyM9AN | 18:24 |

| classroom | no i havent , i looked | 18:24 |
| classroom | yes auronandance | 18:24 |
| auronandace | classroom: then you need a blank cd | 18:24 |
| tom_toc | bobo37773: yep, sounds like a good plan. would rsych work to a local usb drive? | 18:24 |
| classroom | oh i thought i downloaded the iso and so there is some tbhen | 18:24 |
| classroom | why did i download the iso then if i have to buy cd | 18:24 |
| bekks | Because you cant burn the iso to air. | 18:25 |
| bekks | You have to have a blank cd to burn it to. | 18:25 |
| classroom | i thought i can burn iso on hard drive | 18:25 |
| bobo37773 | tom_toc: As long as there is enough space. It's like cp. You tell it where to put the files. Pretty sure it is one of the switches. | 18:25 |
| auronandace | classroom: if you got the 11.10 iso you can also dd it to a usb stick | 18:25 |
| doherty | I want to collect system performance stats for a span of about 15 minutes, and then produce simple graphs of them, and then stop collecting stats.

| classroom | okay then i do usb drive | 18:26 |
| bobo37773 | classroom: You can't install without a cd for windows either. That's just not the way it works. You need to boot off of media to install | 18:26 |
| classroom | okaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy | 18:26 |

| bazhang | classroom, /msg ubottu | 18:31 |
| classroom | pikkachu: it is left! | 18:31 |
| auronandace | Rudeboy: yes, that is called compiling, most packages are available in the package manager | 18:31 |
| tdlam | hi folks | 18:31 |
| pikkachu | classroom: how about Precise? | 18:31 |
| auronandace | !software | Rudeboy | 18:31 |
| ubottu | Rudeboy: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Rudeboy: that's compilating. Packages are precompiled binaries | 18:31 |
| classroom | pikkachu: i do not like precise | 18:31 |
| classroom | !msg ubottu | 18:31 |
| tdlam | can anyone tell me where the .config folder is located in xubuntu? | 18:31 |
| bazhang | !ot | classroom | 18:32 |
| ubottu | classroom: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 18:32 |
| bekks | tdlam: In your home, cd ~/.config | 18:32 |
| Rudeboy | What is the difference between installing and compiling? | 18:32 |
| tdlam | ok ty checking | 18:32 |
| Rudeboy | Or, why would you comile a package? | 18:32 |
| classroom | okay | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | pikkachu: there is an unsupported PPA to put it on the bottom | 18:32 |
| Rudeboy | compile | 18:32 |
| bekks | Rudeboy: Compiling is the process of generating binaries to install them afterwards. | 18:32 |
| classroom | on the bottom??????????????????????????? Actionparsnip this is real not good | 18:33 |
| Rudeboy | So once compiled, I can then install it? | 18:33 |
| auronandace | !checkinstall | Rudeboy | 18:33 |
| tdlam | @ bekkes: TY my firend I found it all the best to you | 18:33 |
| ubottu | Rudeboy: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 18:33 |

| auronandace | Rudeboy: compiling should be a last resort | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Rudeboy: deb packages make installing and uninstalling easy. If you compile you can make a deb of your efforts but most stuff you need is in software centre | 18:34 |
| pepee | Dragin, check in the router if the udp port is open. also, use the -u flag with netcat | 18:34 |

| ActionParsnip | Th3: backtrack isn't supported here | 18:36 |

| bastidrazor | bobweaver: you could add 'text' to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= then update grub. this would boot you to a cli login | 18:36 |

| esuave | what does putting a script in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ file do? | 18:38 |
| auronandace | !upstart | esuave | 18:38 |
| ubottu | esuave: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 18:38 |
| bobweaver | bastidrazor, this is a server xen bastidrazor need to keep grub the way it is thanks thou | 18:38 |

| Dragin | pepee, this is what I type, along with my output... I opened the router myself, so I know that is done. root@Linux:~# nc -v -n -z -u 70.254.42.234 9987 9987 | 18:39 |
| Dragin | root@Linux:~# | 18:39 |
| bobweaver | esuave, that is also for start up corect but is there not a rc something else ? | 18:39 |
| bobo37773 | bobweaver: Try adding "3" to your grub command line (without the quotes of course). Try it while booting to make sure it is what you want. | 18:40 |
| trism | bobweaver: if you are interested in disabling services on boot with upstart, see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting (specifically the override file section) | 18:40 |
| bobweaver | update-rc.d -f lightdm remove ?? would work ? | 18:40 |

| satyanash | Hi, How do I close windows in irssi? | 18:41 |

| bazhang | tim`, #ubuntu+1 please | 18:51 |

| iceroot | Dragin: because of that please use a non-root-shell and if you need root-access use sudo | 18:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Steevca: you can't if you used the default ext4 and mean on the same system | 18:51 |

| auronandace | lopret: use gparted | 20:35 |
| auronandace | lopret: obviously you'll need to do it from a livecd or a different disk | 20:36 |

| lopret | not xwindow | 20:39 |
| auronandace | lopret: parted or fdisk | 20:39 |
| reed | lopret, use parted | 20:39 |
| bekks | lopret: parted does not destroy anything. | 20:39 |
| bekks | It is just able to remove the partition table - it doesnt destroy the data on the disk. | 20:40 |

| lopret | right ? | 20:43 |
| auronandace | lopret: sda is the whole disk | 20:43 |
| lopret | so if i destroy it everythink gonna away | 20:43 |
| lopret | right | 20:43 |

| mortenmj | hi. i have a problem that apparantly needs to be solved by running grub-mkconfig and update-grub. however, since grub is broken, i can't boot into ubuntu the normal way. how do i boot ubuntu so i can successfully run those commands? i can boot to a live image, of course, but does that help any? | 20:44 |
| auronandace | lopret: you are going to have to define destroy | 20:44 |
| lopret | i've 2TB disk | 20:44 |
| bekks | You have to physically overwrite the _complete_ disk. | 20:44 |
| lopret | and i want to remove everythink what in it | 20:44 |
| bekks | Then overwrite the full 2TB. | 20:44 |
| lopret | it tooks a lot of time | 20:44 |
| bekks | Yes. | 20:44 |
| lopret | i tried | 20:45 |
| JoeyJoeJo | I'm trying to install the mini version of ubuntu but every time it hangs at the point where it tries to download everything it needs to do the installation. How can I fix that? | 20:45 |
| bekks | Otherwise, nothing gets destroyed. | 20:45 |
| auronandace | lopret: then like bekks said you will need to overwrite everything | 20:45 |
| deicon | i ve got a question: i have windows 7 and ubuntu,if i delete the partition of ubuntu then my system will boot into windows? | 20:45 |
| lopret | dude 2Tb disk its almost 3 days | 20:45 |
| bekks | deicon: Nost likely no. | 20:45 |
| bekks | lopret: Yes. And? | 20:45 |
| deicon | bekks:what can i do for that | 20:45 |
| Crowley2 | donal: I asked myself the very same question: Difference between auto/manual mode in update-alternatives. Any answers??? | 20:45 |
| bekks | lopret: You want to destroy _everything_ - thats the prize. | 20:46 |
| yeats | lopret: you can do 'dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda' - and yes that will take a very long time | 20:46 |
| guntbert | wereHamster: apt-file search <yourfile> | 20:46 |

| lopret | but it should be ! | 20:47 |

| lopret | is this theroy work | 20:48 |
| bekks | lopret: What is "theroy"? | 20:48 |
| lopret | if i encrypt whole disk | 20:49 |
| auronandace | lopret: if you just want to be able to repartition then just overwrite the mbr, but if you absolutely need to get rid of everything on the disk then you need to do what others said (and that takes time) | 20:49 |
| lopret | and and destroy encryption table | 20:49 |

| RandomDude | hey guy how do i install grub2 when installing ubuntu server via ssh from a remote mirror? | 20:59 |
| jaequery | hi, i'm trying to setup Xen virtualization on Centos 5.6. The host OS is on ext3 with an LVM reserved for the guest machines, So I create a guest as ubuntu's 11.10 which comes by default EXT4. my question is, are my guests really on EXT4? or is it really just ext3 as the host os. | 21:00 |
| Freudlund_777 | Hi guys, I made dumb in xorg.conf on 11.10 to make lcd tv to work with nvidia card, rebooted, now crash on startup, any suggs? Will Lshift after BIOS post goto grub something, so I can recovery somehow? All google tells me is how to get GUI away when logged in, not go "no GUI" from powerup... | 21:00 |
| deicon | Fyodorovna:i must create a recorevy disc for windows 7,installation disc doesnt work? | 21:00 |
| Fyodorovna | deicon, installation disc works. | 21:01 |
| DasEi | Freudlund_777: yes, boot safemode as decribed, delete/rename xorg.conf | 21:01 |
| Fyodorovna | deicon, just follow the wiki to the terminal and run my command then reboot straight to windows... grub will be gone then you can delete ubuntu. | 21:02 |
| DasEi | Freudlund_777: also can try Ate-Ctrl-F1 if regularmode, case x won't start | 21:02 |
| DasEi | alt* | 21:02 |
| splic | Hello, is there a way of getting the output size of tar before writing it to /dev/null or disk without writing it to disk first? | 21:03 |
| deicon | Fyodorovna:so i ll go with boorec.exe /fixmbr and then follow the instructions of the link? | 21:03 |
| auronandace | !text | Freudlund_777 | 21:03 |
| ubottu | Freudlund_777: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 21:03 |
| pfifo | Freudlund_777, I know part of the answer, yes holding shift (or control) will trigger the grub gui when booting | 21:03 |
| Freudlund_777 | DasEi thx , don't know what don't start but x is my guess...x is still the thing in Unity right? So I can follow how-tos for 10.04 when setting resolutions and such? | 21:04 |
| pfifo | jaequery, you should ask in xen support channels | 21:04 |
| Fyodorovna | deicon, no just my command the link is for getting to the actual windows terminal. | 21:04 |
| jaequery | thanks pfifo | 21:05 |
| DasEi | Freudlund_777: yes, basics for xorg.conf are similar, and x is the graphical surface | 21:05 |
| pfifo | RandomDude, if the install process doesnt trigger it, you can always do it manually | 21:05 |
| deicon | Fyodorovna:ah i was confused cauz you say terminal not windows terminal | 21:05 |
| RandomDude | pfifo the install proccess gave me grub legacy last time i did it | 21:05 |
| bekks | deicon: Ubuntu has no windows terminal. | 21:05 |
| RandomDude | pfifo then installing grub2 with apt-get corrupted the system | 21:05 |
| pfifo | RandomDude, ahh I see, what version are you installing? | 21:06 |
| pfifo | of server i mean | 21:06 |
| deicon | Fyodorovna:yeah i knew that | 21:06 |
| DasEi | !x | Freudlund_777 | 21:06 |
| ubottu | Freudlund_777: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 21:06 |
| RandomDude | pfifo 11.10 | 21:06 |
| deicon | Fyodorovna:you say only terminal and we supposed to be in windows | 21:06 |
| mirko1 | splic: well, TAR is not a compressed format, hence the size of the .tar file is the size of the filesystem consumption. since you compress TAR archives with some other compressor, you need to ask that. for a gzip compressed archives, try "gunzip -l archive.tar" and similar for other compressors. | 21:07 |
| Fyodorovna | deicon, your asking for hand holding the link shows a windows terminal on the booted recovery or install. This is actually not a Ubuntu channel issue......reloading the windows bootloader. | 21:08 |
| deicon | Fyodorovna:ok thanks i ll try | 21:08 |
| pfifo | RandomDude, well I would recommend troubleshooting the move from grub legacy to grub2. make sure you completly purge grub legacy before installing grub2 and if it doesnt work correctly, try to figure out why | 21:08 |
| Jordan_U | RandomDude: Ubuntu uses grub2 by default. Unless you were using a very old version of Ubuntu, or a non-official derivative, the installer most certainly would not have installed grub legacy by default. | 21:09 |
| RandomDude | pfifo when i did apt-get for grub2 it removed grub legacy | 21:09 |
| n-iCe | hi | 21:09 |
| RandomDude | Jordan_U i am using the version of ubuntu server stored on ca.archieve.ubuntu.com | 21:09 |
| n-iCe | i have this error in vlc It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available. | 21:09 |
| RandomDude | Jordan_U and it gave me grub legacy | 21:10 |
| n-iCe | i have integrated intel hd 2000 | 21:10 |
| n-iCe | any idea? | 21:10 |
| Jordan_U | RandomDude: What made you think that it installed grub legacy by default? | 21:10 |
| pfifo | RandomDude, i would specifically remove one, then install the other afterwards. | 21:10 |
| auronandace | RandomDude: the version? which version? | 21:10 |
| RandomDude | Jordan_U it told me when i was in the grub menu | 21:10 |
| splic | mirko1: Assuming I use some compression option with tar, skipping piping to compression program I meant. I guess I'm looking for some way to get the size data piped through | 21:10 |
| RandomDude | ubuntu server 11.10 | 21:10 |
| Jordan_U | RandomDude: What "told you" what? What is the exact text you saw that made you think it was grub legacy? | 21:11 |
| DasEi | RandomDude: http://tinyurl.com/boseqbo | 21:11 |
| auronandace | RandomDude: only 9.04 and under used grub legacy | 21:11 |
| Geralt_ | auronandace: I cross checked and the total number of blocks and number of used blocks differs on both systems for ext4 partitions (I used df -B 512 on both machines). On 12.04 the number of available and used blocks is higher than on 11.10 | 21:12 |
| Unknown0BC | Great. | 21:12 |
| RandomDude | auronandace well that is wierd then cause it told me it was grub legacy | 21:12 |

| Jordan_U | RandomDude: What "told you" what? What is the exact text you saw that made you think it was grub legacy? | 21:13 |

| CellTech | Slow, lagging, freezing up | 21:14 |
| mirko1 | splic: no, when you use -z, -j or similar, then tar does pipe through a compressor. just use 'file' to know what compressor (if any) is used and then use their 'list' (or similar) option. I don't know any other way. | 21:15 |
| Geralt_ | auronandace: yeah, I'm confused too, these type of settings should be baked into the on-disk filesystem after all | 21:15 |

| jjchen | auronandace: why? | 21:21 |
| _Marcus | !crossposting | 21:21 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. | 21:21 |
| auronandace | jjchen: it wastes time and resources | 21:21 |
| jjchen | i didn't ask in multiple ubuntu channels | 21:21 |
| bekks | pfifo: To get the out of memory killer killing things more often? ;) | 21:21 |
| jjchen | i only ask when one channel doesn't have anyone at the moment who knows | 21:21 |
| jjchen | no one in #archlinux or ##linux was able to help | 21:21 |
| Toph2 | my computer works great at startup (ubuntu 11.10),, After a day of so it slowly begins to bog down till after several days it almost hangs,, and I'm using xfce,, it is worse with Unity | 21:21 |
| mirko1 | CellTech: I seriously doubt that disk-caching is the issue here. you have most probably a memory (RAM) consumtion problem | 21:21 |
| _Marcus | jjchen: Is it an Ubuntu-specific question? | 21:22 |
| CellTech | Well then there's gotta be a huge leak somewhere | 21:22 |
| auronandace | jjchen: that doesn't make this channel archlinux support | 21:22 |
| bekks | CellTech: No. Just tooless memory to run a full blown desktop on it. | 21:22 |
| jjchen | auronandace: like i said, it's an eduroam (wireless) on linux question; and most all of the tutorials on how to get it to work are for ubuntu online anyway | 21:22 |
| CellTech | Then I'm gonna drop from 11.10 back down to 10.04 | 21:23 |
| pfifo | CellTech, on my old computer, 512 DDR, to play a few of the games i enjoyed, I would plug in a 1GB flash drive and use it for swap, then later on I started using 2 flash drives and had the system stripe them evenly. | 21:23 |
| DasEi | CellTech: you can use lightdm or such as wm , try lubuntu or xubuntu, and do from a mini-installer only the things you need | 21:23 |
| pawelero | Toph2: maybe you suffer from memory leak, what graphic drivers are you using? | 21:23 |
| DasEi | CellTech: ddr ? what dou mean, the location or ddr-ram ? | 21:23 |
| DasEi | do* | 21:23 |
| auronandace | jjchen: and the help offered here is ubuntu specific, it may not work on archlinux (there are many differences) | 21:23 |
| CellTech | ddr style ram. not sdram | 21:23 |
| GeminiDomino | Okay, so turns out that 12.04 beta 2 fixes my network issue. Looks like my hardware outpaced my LTS... So the question I have now is this: at what point (ballpark is fine) in the month does the final usually come out? If it's not too long from now, I'll just wait for that rather than risking the beta on servers that need to go live | 21:24 |
| jjchen | auronandace: maybe, but it's a chance i'm willing to take | 21:24 |
| jjchen | auronandace: right now i'm out of ideas | 21:24 |
| DasEi | CellTech: ddr I guess, well a 1 gig on ebay or such is really the best thing to do | 21:24 |
| _Marcus | jjchen: I don't even think that Arch support is offered here | 21:24 |
| pfifo | GeminiDomino, aprilt 28th | 21:24 |
| CellTech | Yeah I don't online shop. Thanks anyways. I'm gonna just drop back to 10.04.. so far that was the best one ever | 21:25 |
| Geralt_ | auronandace: I checked it a bit more with a self-writte df tool I needed recently and df -B 1 and the amount of available space on disk increases from 11.10 to 12.04, but the amount of free space is the same, hence the apparent disk usage increases from 11.10 to 12.04. But don't ask me why that is | 21:25 |
| auronandace | _Marcus: it isn't | 21:25 |
| jjchen | auronandace: i pasted a log of what my computer said happened when i tried to connect to the eduroam wireless access point. that's really the problem, not that i am on archlinux | 21:25 |
| laSt_duDe | Hi all! | 21:25 |

| DasEi | laSt_duDe: boot a live cd, use gparted, then fix fstab's uuid's | 21:26 |
| DasEi | !uuid | 21:26 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 21:26 |
| pfifo | laSt_duDe, run through a gparted tutorial | 21:27 |

| AcidRain2012 | this is weird. i have a php file running as a cron job. if i load it in a browser. it returns the proper count of lines on a file. if cron does it. it returns "1" | 21:37 |
| AcidRain2012 | anyone know why? | 21:37 |
| === s1aden is now known as sladen | ||
| mirko1 | AcidRain2012: cron jobs run in a limitted environment. probably you have to set some additional env vars | 21:38 |
| AcidRain2012 | mirko1: can i show you the code? | 21:39 |
| markss | AcidRain2012: You could print out a bunch of debugging info, such as current working directory, contents of the environment, file it thinks it is counting the lines of, and whatever else | 21:39 |
| AcidRain2012 | markss: you are talking about doing this in php? | 21:40 |
| AcidRain2012 | or cron? | 21:40 |
| AcidRain2012 | it works fine normally with php. | 21:40 |
| AcidRain2012 | if cron does it. it fails | 21:40 |
| mirko1 | AcidRain2012: pastebin ;-) but it probably won't help that much as we woulnd't see the exact environmen in both situations. markss' suggestion to add more printf debugging is correcnt | 21:40 |
| markss | AcidRain2012: i mean in the PHP file itself you can output a bunch of debugging info. Then compare the output when running it from a web browser vs when running it from cron. | 21:41 |

| DasEi | beandog: righty | 21:49 |
| DasEi | !fsck | 21:49 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 21:49 |

| facebook2142 | how do i check to see what the execution bits of /etc/rc.local is using a terminal? | 22:17 |
| jteguest | Just curious how different is it to go from debian to ubuntu or visa-versa in terms of learning new stuff need? | 22:17 |
| Boreeas | So apparently sun-java6-jdk is no longer in the apt repository. Is there a simple way to install it on a remote server, or do I need to do it via FTP? | 22:17 |
| L3top | facebook2142: bash -x /etc/rc.local | 22:18 |
| DasEi | facebook2142: it runs with root permissions | 22:18 |
| zykotick9 | jteguest: ubuntu and debian are both very different and similar. They have very different goals. | 22:18 |
| ubuntu_ | DasEi, most likely not comming back at the momment i have a soccer practice to go to but if i see you again lets you know. | 22:18 |
| ubuntu_ | ant thanks for the help. | 22:18 |
| L3top | I guess I misunderstood | 22:18 |
| jteguest | ok but interms of if somebody was an expert at ubuntu or debian would he have a learning curve | 22:18 |
| DasEi | ubuntu_: nice shooting and calm your mind at it, nice idea, good time | 22:18 |
| jteguest | going from one to the other | 22:19 |
| jteguest | or do they use the same commands /programs usually | 22:19 |
| zykotick9 | jteguest: much of the knowledge is transferable! they have similar bases. | 22:19 |
| jteguest | i.e package managers the same , make , c , bash ,...etc | 22:20 |

| OffGridOps | Is there a different IRC I should ask my question in as it deals with 12.04 or am I in the right area? Thanx | 22:20 |
| zykotick9 | jteguest: particular versions will be different for sure | 22:20 |
| digitalslave | jteguest, package mangers are generally the main difference between different linux version | 22:21 |

| jteguest | how compatible can I use a debain repo on a unbuntu or a ubuntu repo on a debain ? | 22:21 |
| zykotick9 | jteguest: VERY bad idea | 22:21 |
| jteguest | why | 22:21 |
| digitalslave | jteguest, sounds good but dependencies and kernels will show you very quickly it wont work | 22:22 |
| zykotick9 | jteguest: mixing repos is bad management | 22:22 |
| elijah | Is anyone familiar with ssh_config? I am wondering if you can set the ~/.ssh/config file to not have a host name and just try a certain key whenever any program calls on a certain HostName? | 22:22 |
| jteguest | won't it all be just dpkg so they would in theory have the same dependencies,code ,...etc and the file structure of debain and other linux distros are the same /home /usr /etc ,...etc | 22:22 |
| beandog | elijah: should be possible. | 22:22 |
| beandog | elijah: in fact, I'm kind of curious myself how to do that ... sec | 22:23 |

| mbeierl | I have just switched ISPs and now I am suddenly getting error messages from Avahi about using .local as a domain (Ubuntu 11.10). That computer acts as a Masq gateway for my network. Since this change I can no longer see shared printers/etc in my local network and all the other computers are also complaining about .local domain. The google-fu is not with me as I can find no resolution to this | 22:35 |
| zykotick9 | donal: i doubt cron is aware of .profile (maybe?) | 22:35 |
| XGaryG | I tried tvtime. It does not give me the option of using ATSC. Just NTSC and PAL. | 22:35 |
| DasEi | ic | 22:35 |
| beandog | XGaryG: xbmc probably uses atsc | 22:35 |
| digitalslave | donal, put the function in its own script | 22:35 |
| XGaryG | I'll look. | 22:35 |
| beandog | er, wait, do they record video? If not, mythtv would. | 22:35 |
| donal | zykotick9: that's what I thought | 22:35 |
| mbeierl | Why should service discovery care about my ISP? Can't I prevent it from trying to communicate over the internet and stick to the local network? | 22:35 |

| beandog | mbeierl: you could do what I do ... use .lan instead | 22:37 |
| digitalslave | donal, the better question is do you need root permission or regular user. if regular just run it under your account | 22:37 |
| mbeierl | beandog, how? | 22:38 |
| beandog | mbeierl: er, wait, that isn't what I do actually. | 22:38 |
| beandog | mbeierl: whats your network configuration? what's your ISP modem directly plugged into | 22:38 |

| pfifo | jteguest, linux uses linux, hurd uses hurd, bsd uses bsd... you get the idea? | 22:39 |
| mbeierl | beandog, ISP modem drives a satellite link (yes, I live rurally). Ubuntu 11.10 is connected with one iface to the modem, and other serves up the local network. dnsmasq for local dns caching | 22:40 |

| mbeierl | Crooks_mobile, was that intended for me? | 22:47 |
| Crooks_mobile | mbeier1 yea sorry | 22:47 |
| mbeierl | Crooks_mobile, the bonjour service on the mac doesn't work that way. I can't put it into a route as it uses some form of zeroconf to discover where the printers are. | 22:48 |

| drecute | chazwoza: thanks | 23:01 |
| mbeierl | beandog, thanks. This is the most info I've gotten so far. I did see about the .local and DNS, but it still makes no sense. 8.8.8.8 also allows .local to be resolved | 23:01 |

| pfifo | Dj_FlyBy, try `lspci` to get a basic overview first | 23:28 |
| leshaste | how do you tell if you are running unity 2d or 3d? | 23:28 |
| TheEmpath | mirko1: now sudo apt-get upgrade is giving me the exact same error | 23:29 |
| TheEmpath | jesus christ, what the hell happened... im just going to burn this instance down and start over | 23:29 |
| tyler_d | leshaste: try running a 3d app | 23:29 |
| zykotick9 | Dj_FlyBy: well "lspci" or "lspci -vnvn" shows a lot of h/w info. "cat /proc/cpuinfo" for cpu stuff... | 23:29 |
| leshaste | tyler_d, for exampkle? | 23:29 |
| tyler_d | TheEmpath: what is the specific error | 23:30 |
| TheEmpath | gcc-4.4: Depends: gcc-4.4-base (= 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) but 4.4.3-4ubuntu5.1 is installed | 23:30 |
| wyrm111 | . | 23:30 |
| tyler_d | TheEmpath: have you tried `strace <<your command>>` to see the output and if its more comprehensive? | 23:30 |
| tyler_d | leshaste: glxgears | 23:31 |
| TheEmpath | tyler_d: its faster for me to burn this instance down and spin up a new one.. apparently, i screwed up somewhere badly, so im just going to do a fresh build and go again | 23:31 |
| tyler_d | TheEmpath: gl with that then. | 23:31 |
| TheEmpath | tyler_d: I dont want this coming back to haunt me later on down the road because i didn't know how to debug it properly | 23:31 |
| zykotick9 | leshaste: "glxinfo" might also help | 23:31 |
| leshaste | tyler_d, hmm.. well it rnus | 23:32 |
| tyler_d | TheEmpath: learning and properly debugging is par for the course and should be taken with patience and dilligence | 23:32 |
| leshaste | tyler_d, but does that tell me I am in unity 2d? | 23:32 |
| tyler_d | TheEmpath: what exactly are you compiling/installing and what is the error please | 23:32 |
| leshaste | tyler_d, or is there some of other 2d desktop I should be using | 23:32 |
| tyler_d | leshaste: take zykotick9's advice... glxinfo | 23:32 |
| TheEmpath | tyler_d: indeed, and i do not have the time at this point. i've setup mongo on like 15 ubuntu machiens no problem.. this one is giving me issues, so i'll just burn it to the ground and follow my previous steps | 23:33 |
| leshaste | zykotick9, what am I looknig for in the output? | 23:33 |
| tyler_d | leshaste: you could always just use the default gnome | 23:33 |
| leshaste | tyler_d, how? | 23:33 |
| zykotick9 | leshaste: to know if it's unity 2d or 3d isn't really in glxinfo :| i don't know how to tell, sorry. | 23:33 |
| leshaste | zykotick9, ok | 23:33 |
| tyler_d | leshaste: I personaly haven't reverted back to the default gnome... I'm sure the path for that could be followed in here by someone though | 23:34 |
| zykotick9 | leshaste: what do you select at the login window? | 23:34 |
| leshaste | zykotick9, I just type in my password | 23:34 |
| leshaste | let me trying logging out | 23:34 |
| zykotick9 | leshaste: there is some way to change your DE/WM, so that should also be able to say what you're currently using | 23:35 |
| * zykotick9 has never actually used lightdm, but assumes ;) | 23:35 | |
| tyler_d | TheEmpath: I don't honestly know how or what you could have borqued if you have done it other times.... I don't agree with your path to resolution... but if you feel that's best then I wish you luck sir | 23:36 |
| TheEmpath | tyler_d: I dunno what I busted up either... i may have tried to mix and match deps, versions, or even over write binutils.. who knows... i was trying an experimental way to setup ubuntu and it didn't work, so I'll just scrap it and stick with what works. I do appreciate the help, none the less :D | 23:37 |
| UbuntuBoy | Hey. xD | 23:37 |
| UbuntuBoy | Does anyone has Second Life on his box, if so... Can you play it normally? | 23:38 |
| tyler_d | TheEmpath: for sure, I don't know a lot but glad to stick my nose in any time :) | 23:38 |
| tyler_d | UbuntuBoy: had it once upon a time, ran it from a terminal... | 23:39 |
| UbuntuBoy | And it worked? | 23:39 |
| UbuntuBoy | I mean it works for me too, but its uber slow... | 23:39 |
| tyler_d | UbuntuBoy: long time ago but yes | 23:39 |
| UbuntuBoy | And my PC isn't really bad. Sooo... I'm kind of confused. | 23:40 |
| UbuntuBoy | Huh... | 23:40 |
| UbuntuBoy | It must be this new version then. | 23:40 |
| DarkAngel | I can not get sound on my Toshiba A3-S611 laptop with unbuntu 11.10 any ideas on a fix. | 23:40 |
| tyler_d | UbuntuBoy: ummm... video card? what does top say when it runs? | 23:40 |
| === hybrid is now known as o0o0o | ||
| UbuntuBoy | I can run Guild Wars without problem, so I don't really think its about hardware. | 23:41 |
| UbuntuBoy | Its the new version of SL, for sure. | 23:41 |
| UbuntuBoy | Thanks anyway @tyler_d. | 23:41 |
| tyler_d | UbuntuBoy: well thats a start for sure, but in no way definative... check top while it runs and see | 23:41 |
| tyler_d | UbuntuBoy: yqw | 23:42 |
| DarkAngel | tyler_d do you have any idea why I do not have sound on my laptop with 11,10 | 23:42 |
| tyler_d | DarkAngel: alsa drivers? | 23:42 |
| tyler_d | DarkAngel: when is the last time it made noise? what kind of video card is it plz | 23:43 |
| DarkAngel | I got it from a friend of mine and it had windows XP on it. I can't remember if it made noise then or not | 23:43 |
| tyler_d | DarkAngel: does it show the icon for sound in the panel? | 23:44 |
| DarkAngel | Yes it does | 23:44 |
| tyler_d | DarkAngel: does it play the startup sound even? | 23:44 |
| DarkAngel | No it does not play any sounds at all | 23:45 |
| hey^_^you | anyone else using irssi client, this is my first time | 23:45 |
| hey^_^you | hello | 23:45 |
| twirm | @hey^_^you smuxi is better | 23:45 |
| tyler_d | DarkAngel: is there anything on the keyboard to indicate sound? does pushing the sound up/down on the keyboard produce the icon indicating up/down in the top right? | 23:45 |
| Quantum_Ion | sometimes those sound icons disappear and reappear in ubuntu linux | 23:46 |
| Quantum_Ion | on the top bar | 23:46 |
| DarkAngel | I don't see any keyboard keys that make the sound go up and down.. the icon is there but nothing is coming out of the speakers | 23:47 |
| bkerensa | Any suggestions for trying to troubleshoot a bluetooth headset that pairs fine but doesnt show up in sound settings? | 23:48 |
| _Marcus | DarkAngel: Is there drivers needed possibly? | 23:48 |
| digitalslave | DarkAngel, have you tried the alsa mixer? | 23:48 |
| DarkAngel | digitalslave I like your name.. I tried the alsa mixer and set everything that was mute to on and moved the volume up | 23:49 |
| tyler_d | DarkAngel: you could also try alsamixer from a terminal | 23:50 |
| DarkAngel | Still got no sound. I did get a little lost when they were talking about loading drivers. | 23:50 |
| DarkAngel | I did but still nothing unless I did something wrong | 23:50 |
| digitalslave | DarkAngel, do you know what sound chipset/card you have? | 23:50 |
| tyler_d | DarkAngel: `lspci | less` and search for the audio in there | 23:50 |
| === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|znc | ||
| tyler_d | DarkAngel: based on the name, I would say digitalslave knows more than I on this... so follow him plz :) | 23:51 |
| zykotick9 | twirm: hey^_^you i've never tried smuxi (i'll check it out) BUT, #debian's irssi factoid starts "rumour has it, irssi is the best <IRC> client ever." | 23:51 |
| DarkAngel | Intel ICH6 Family AC'97 | 23:52 |
| zykotick9 | twirm: lol, smuxi - graphical IRC client, GUI can't run that in screen - can't possibly be better ;) | 23:53 |
| digitalslave | DarkAngel, did this recently stop working or never worked? | 23:53 |
| TheEmpath | yeah, that worked lol | 23:54 |
| DarkAngel | I got the laptop from a friend and he claims it worked but I am starting to think it didn't work at all He had windows xp loaded on it and I put ubuntu on it right away | 23:54 |
| twirm | @zykotick9 why not just use emacs then? | 23:55 |
| DarkAngel | @digitalslave it shows the card but I can't get any sound at all | 23:55 |
| digitalslave | DarkAngel, some good info here http://askubuntu.com/questions/87515/no-sound-after-upgrade-to-11-10 | 23:55 |
| zykotick9 | twirm: emacs.. i've always been a vi guy, but recently i've seen what people can do with emacs - it's impressive. but i don't need another OS to run on top of gnu/linux :p | 23:56 |
| digitalslave | DarkAngel, that chipset should work. i had some issues with mine doing surround sound after the last update but it works now | 23:56 |
| twirm | @zykotick9 I guess that's fair, I spend most of my time in a text editor so having a terminal emulator in my text editor is way nicer than having it anywhere else | 23:57 |
| nmittal_ | is it possible to draw on a buffer rather than canvas.. and then copy the buffer to the canvas? | 23:57 |
| zykotick9 | twirm: that's what screen is for ;) | 23:57 |
| === zz_gear4 is now known as gear4 | ||
| mirko1 | TheEmpath: just curious. *what* worked? | 23:58 |
| twirm | @zykotick9 customization ftw, that's way linux will always be best :) | 23:58 |
| DarkAngel | @digitalslave do you think it is a bad sound card? | 23:58 |
| zykotick9 | twirm: to see most of my cli programs check out https://plus.google.com/_/notifications/emlink?emrecipient=115403891429547707849&emid=CPjAn8SPlq8CFSJyNAodGG0AAA&path=%2Fcircles%2Ffind&reexp=EXP_6&dt=13333681 | 23:58 |

| Crazydan | sup guys | 23:58 |
| OrangeAngel | Hi. | 23:58 |
| Crazydan | lil help | 23:58 |
| digitalslave | DarkAngel, cant say for sure. you could boot with a live disk and see if it works there as well | 23:59 |
| twirm | @Crazydan what's going on? | 23:59 |
| Crazydan | : dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 23:59 |
| Crazydan | E: Couldn't rebuild package cache | 23:59 |
| Crazydan | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 23:59 |
| philip__ | hello guys. I dual boot ubuntu and avl 3.0.5 each on a separate hard disk. the grup menu on startup currently shows only avl. How would i go to add the other hard disk too? | 23:59 |
