[00:05] <c11> if xev says "keycode 104 is "KP_Enter" then what is the correct "symbol" that xmodmap will accept?
[00:14] <c11> damn i removed all of my alt-keys
[00:23] <c11> thats confusing
[00:33] <c11> ok i give up for now maybe i'll go on later.
[01:03] <WilsonBradley> After a recent update , I am getting Segfault with many things.. apt-update , synaptics, Update Manager, etc      I have same problem when loggin in with different account, so I figured my past backups of my whole Home directory restore wouldn't help..  was right.
[01:09] <stlsaint> WilsonBradley: do you know what it was you updated?
[01:10] <WilsonBradley> I always do a "Software Up to date"
[01:10] <WilsonBradley> not sure
[01:11] <stlsaint> history should show what was updated. if its overall a huge mess a re-install might be in order. but thats a big IF
[01:20] <WilsonBradley> it doesn
[01:21] <WilsonBradley> Update manager it doesn't stay open long enough to show history
[01:28] <holstein> WilsonBradley: i would just try booting the last kernel
[01:35] <WilsonBradley> how do I do that?
[01:35] <stlsaint> WilsonBradley: if you havent purged them they should be present at grub boot
[01:35] <holstein> WilsonBradley: i just select it temporarily in GRUB as a troubleshooting step
[01:36] <holstein> its one of the first and easiest things to test
[01:36] <stlsaint> though some inconsistent results may take place
[01:36] <holstein> yup.. ive had some funkiness on one occasion
[01:38] <WilsonBradley> What switches do I use?
[01:42] <holstein> WilsonBradley: i literally just try booting the last kernel if i upgrade and experience breakage... no "switches"
[01:43] <WilsonBradley> I didn't see that in the grub options.
[01:43] <WilsonBradley> will reboot and try
[01:43] <WilsonBradley> thanks
[01:43] <holstein> WilsonBradley: grub is hidden by default.. you might need to hit shift when booting to show the older kernels
[01:44] <WilsonBradley> ok, thank you.
[01:44] <WilsonBradley>  I will try that now
[01:52] <WilsonBradley> I did earlier kernel.. didnt help
[01:53] <stlsaint> WilsonBradley: have you viewed dmesg?
[01:54] <WilsonBradley>  update-manager[3152]: segfault at 1
[01:55] <WilsonBradley> segfault at 1 ip b6ba4c12 sp bfd401d0 error 4 in libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0
[01:55] <stlsaint> ouch
[01:56] <holstein> i would try to get to TTY and run some upgrade commands
[01:56] <stlsaint> WilsonBradley: does it show you have any broken packages in synpatic?
[01:56] <WilsonBradley> synpatic doesn't stay open
[01:57] <holstein> yeah, that would be easier, if you can get it to open
[01:57] <stlsaint> WilsonBradley: what error appears when it closes?
[01:57] <WilsonBradley> in dmesg?
[01:57] <WilsonBradley> let me check
[01:59] <WilsonBradley> synaptic[4169]: segfault at 1 ip b76bec12 sp bfee3690 error 4 in libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0[b7662000+123000]
[01:59] <WilsonBradley> looks like error with libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0 is common
[02:05] <WilsonBradley> synaptic[4169]: segfault at 1 ip b76bec12 sp bfee3690 error 4 in libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0
[02:06] <stlsaint> kernel panic. i would suggest a backup and re-install
[02:07] <WilsonBradley> That's the only backup I have
[02:12] <WilsonBradley> So download live quantal 12.10 iso and reinstall with that?
[02:13] <WilsonBradley> How bad off will I be after installing 12.10 and restoring Home/user directory?
[02:14] <WilsonBradley> what should I be backing up to avoid this?
[02:14] <WilsonBradley> I thought/ was told that backing up Home/ directory was enough
[02:21] <WilsonBradley> What would happen if I downloaded Quantel 12.10 live iso , and reinstalled it?
[02:40] <stlsaint> WilsonBradley: you are running quantal??
[02:40] <WilsonBradley> No, 12.04
[02:40] <stlsaint> well why install quantal? Quantal isn't even stable
[02:41] <stlsaint> WilsonBradley: if you want to be more cautious make a separate /home partition at install.
[02:41] <stlsaint> I usually make a /, /boot, /home
[02:43] <WilsonBradley> hummm, keeping the /home files on a seperate partition? I have my /Home backed up on a external drive
[02:43] <WilsonBradley> often
[02:43] <WilsonBradley> I restored , didn't fix the Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[05:52] <stlsaint> any privoxy users here?
[05:58] <Unit193> I know a doc on it, but I use polipo.
[06:01] <stlsaint> Unit193: trying to use privoxy to block content but its not working
[15:39] <bobweaver> Hi biggalant  [
[15:39] <biggalant> hey guys, anybody can help
[15:39] <biggalant> hi
[15:40] <biggalant> you were in #ubuntuforums as well?
[15:40] <bobweaver> so what are you trying to do with ssh ?
[15:40] <biggalant> ok
[15:40] <bobweaver> yes biggalant  I am on alot of channels
[15:40] <biggalant> open an ssh to change my password in the university server
[15:40] <biggalant> but, I get an error
[15:40] <biggalant> i'll copy it in a moment
[15:40] <bobweaver> !pastebin | biggalant
[15:40] <ubot2`> biggalant: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.
[15:41] <bobweaver> but if it is just one or two lines you can paste  here
[15:41] <biggalant> I was told that ubuntu is complicated, but even with a copy paste thing??
[15:41] <biggalant> ok anyway
[15:42] <biggalant> I write ssh
[15:42] <biggalant> and then it gives me the options
[15:42] <bobweaver> ahh
[15:42] <biggalant> like [-l login] ....
[15:42] <bobweaver> so where are you trying to ssh into ?
[15:42] <bobweaver> you do
[15:42] <biggalant> to be honest, I don't know how this works
[15:42] <biggalant> but, I have a website
[15:42] <bobweaver> ssh -p <port number> <username>@<server name >
[15:42] <biggalant> how should I proceed?
[15:43] <biggalant> and if I don't have a port number
[15:43] <bobweaver> so if I wanted to ssh into Ubuntu.com
[15:43] <bobweaver> I would do
[15:43] <bobweaver> ssh bobweaver@ubuntu.com
[15:43] <biggalant> ah ok
[15:43] <biggalant> thx
[15:43] <bobweaver> then it asks for password I enter in password and I am connected
[15:43] <biggalant> I will try that
[15:44] <bobweaver> the standerd port is 22
[15:44] <bobweaver> most the time
[15:44] <bobweaver> But
[15:44] <biggalant> but?
[15:44] <bobweaver> you can check what ports are open also if you are local with a simple nmap scan
[15:44] <biggalant> if I don't mention the port, is it a problemt
[15:44] <biggalant> ?
[15:45] <bobweaver> Like if I was at my university and did not know what port ssh was running on
[15:45] <biggalant> because, i wrote ssh username@website , but it seems like it is loading or something
[15:45] <biggalant> and then told me connection timed out
[15:45] <bobweaver> ahh
[15:46] <bobweaver> try this
[15:46] <biggalant> but, it mentioned port 22
[15:46] <bobweaver> nmap -T4 -A -v -PN <name of site >
[15:46] <bobweaver> nmap must be installed
[15:46] <bobweaver> sudo apt-get install -y nmap
[15:46] <bobweaver> woopx
[15:46] <biggalant> ok
[15:46] <bobweaver> sudo apt-get -y install  nmap
[15:47] <biggalant> there is the error again
[15:47] <biggalant> even with the sudo
[15:47] <biggalant> Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[15:47] <bobweaver> this will tell you all open ports and will not ping host at the same time so that the sys admin can not see what you are doing ;)
[15:47] <bobweaver> are you installing something else ?
[15:47] <bobweaver> or have synaptic open ?
[15:48] <biggalant> but bob, the error I get all the time is this dpkg is being used
[15:48] <biggalant> how can I check that?
[15:48] <bobweaver> ps aux | grep [d]pkg
[15:48] <bobweaver> or system montor
[15:48] <bobweaver> er spelling
[15:52] <bobweaver> biggalant,  If you are super new to Ubuntu and gnu/linux   There is a cool program for 105 usd a year called Ubuntu Advantage   it is great support with canonical them-selfs  just thought that you might like that or not :)
[15:54] <biggalant_> bob still there?
[15:54] <bobweaver> wb biggalant_  :)
[15:55] <biggalant_> 10x
[15:55] <bobweaver> not sure what 10x means sorry
[15:55] <biggalant_> it feels good to have help in this domain ;)
[15:55] <biggalant_> thanks
[15:55] <bobweaver> :) there are lots of options for help out there with Ubuntu
[15:56] <biggalant_> well, the interactive one seems the best
[15:56] <bobweaver> there is a list of all irc channels here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList
[15:56] <biggalant_> last I wrote in the terminal ps aux | grep [d]pkg
[15:56] <bobweaver> ahh did you get anything back ?
[15:56] <biggalant_> actually not
[15:57] <bobweaver> ok
[15:58] <biggalant_> trying to ssh -p 22 user@web again
[15:58] <bobweaver> biggalant_,  try this to get apt working
[15:58] <bobweaver> 1. Go to System => System Monitor
[15:58] <bobweaver> 2. On the system Monitor go to the Processes
[15:58] <bobweaver> 3. Go to view and then choose all processes
[15:58] <bobweaver> 4. This will then display the the apt-get process
[15:58] <bobweaver> 5. Just end the process and then voila you are good to go.
[15:59] <biggalant_> where is System?
[15:59] <bobweaver> in the unity dash just type in System Monitor
[16:01] <bobweaver> biggalant_,  like this     http://imagebin.org/215223
[16:02] <biggalant_> ok, I am there but I don't have any view option
[16:03] <biggalant_> I mean, I entered the system monitor, and processes
[16:04] <bobweaver> cool
[16:04] <bobweaver> click on the bar that says
[16:04] <bobweaver> process name
[16:05] <bobweaver> brb phone
[16:05] <bobweaver> back
[16:05] <biggalant_> ok
[16:06] <bobweaver> do you see anything running apt ?
[16:06] <biggalant_> I am there, but couldn't find any apt
[16:06] <biggalant_> nope
[16:06] <bobweaver> ok
[16:07] <bobweaver> on the top of you screen in the "pannel"   there is a menu for view
[16:07] <bobweaver> do you see it ?
[16:07] <biggalant_> yup
[16:07] <bobweaver> check active process
[16:07] <bobweaver> what do you see ?
[16:08] <biggalant_> just a sec
[16:08] <biggalant_> i think i see the browser's view
[16:08] <bobweaver> you can take a screen shot  with the "print screen "  button
[16:08] <biggalant_> I have only the system monitor
[16:08] <bobweaver> then upload it to  http://imagebin.org
[16:09] <biggalant_> ok
[16:09] <biggalant_> but, what do you need to see?
[16:10] <bobweaver> need to find out what is using apt
[16:10] <bobweaver> then ou can install nmap
[16:10] <biggalant_> i don't think anything is
[16:10] <biggalant_> but, even if I use some other process in the terminal
[16:10] <bobweaver> sudo apt-get -y install nmap
[16:10] <biggalant_> i get this message
[16:11] <biggalant_> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[16:11] <bobweaver> Oo
[16:12] <biggalant_> googling this is impossible, that is why this is my first time here
[16:12] <biggalant_> :)
[16:12] <bobweaver> Ok
[16:12] <bobweaver> in terminal
[16:12] <bobweaver> sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[16:12] <biggalant_> you sure?
[16:13] <biggalant_> it will be fine?
[16:13] <bobweaver> make sure you spell right
[16:13] <biggalant_> done
[16:13] <c11> biggalant_, i was about to suggest to remove the lock file too.
[16:13] <bobweaver> yes you will be fine but you must speel and follow my directions
[16:13] <bobweaver> now
[16:13] <bobweaver> sudo dpkg --configure -a
[16:13] <biggalant_> ok
[16:14] <biggalant_> done
[16:14] <bobweaver> sudo apt-get -y install nmap
[16:14] <bobweaver> Is it installing or are you still getting lock error
[16:14] <biggalant_> in process ;)
[16:14] <biggalant_> done
[16:15] <bobweaver> nmap -T4 -A -v -PN <name of site >
[16:15] <bobweaver> with out the  "<" " >"
[16:15] <bobweaver> example
[16:15] <bobweaver> nmap -T4 -A -v -PN http://ubuntu.com
[16:15] <biggalant_> yup
[16:15] <biggalant_> done
[16:16] <bobweaver> what port is open for ssh ?
[16:16] <biggalant_> I have seen two ports open, one of them was 22
[16:16] <bobweaver> 22 is ssh port
[16:16] <bobweaver> other one I am guessing is 443  and 21 and 80
[16:16] <bobweaver> 22 is the standard port
[16:17] <bobweaver> what is the ipaddress >
[16:17] <bobweaver> ?
[16:17] <bobweaver> you can also use that with ssh
[16:17] <biggalant_> ok, it shows an ssh hostkey
[16:17] <bobweaver> ssh bobweaver@781.83.543.21
[16:18] <biggalant_> you mean the hostkey
[16:18] <biggalant_> because, it is a lot bigger than that
[16:18] <bobweaver> biggalant_,  pastebin the nmap scan
[16:19] <biggalant_> just a sec
[16:19] <biggalant_> i thin k it works
[16:19] <biggalant_> it works
[16:19] <biggalant_> now i think I am in the university server
[16:19] <biggalant_> so, i will try to change my pass there
[16:20] <biggalant_> should I write passwd?
[16:20] <biggalant_> or open an ssh first
[16:20] <bobweaver> well that all depends
[16:20] <biggalant_> let;s say I want to open an ssh
[16:20] <biggalant_> I think that is what the pc guy told me
[16:20] <bobweaver> what kinda server it is the permissions that you have ect
[16:21] <bobweaver> If you can upload you key then that would be best IMHO
[16:21] <bobweaver> Here I made some youtube videos
[16:22] <bobweaver> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRLzCHkfW8A&feature=g-upl
[16:22] <bobweaver> there is also this
[16:22] <bobweaver> !ssh
[16:22] <ubot2`> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon)
[16:22] <biggalant_> it is working
[16:22] <bobweaver> I am glad to hear that Great Job :)
[16:23] <biggalant_> 10x very much man
[16:23] <biggalant_> man I belive ?
[16:23] <biggalant_> sure bob
[16:23] <biggalant_> I'll check the websites you mentioned for more knowledge
[16:23] <biggalant_> but, still i have one question
[16:24] <bobweaver> yes ?.
[16:24] <biggalant_> I am installing a program
[16:25] <biggalant_> it is for data reduction
[16:25] <biggalant_> the instructions says that I sould at some point write:
[16:25] <biggalant_> source ...
[16:25] <biggalant_> and a file
[16:25] <biggalant_> but, when I do that, to many errors occur and I can't deal with some
[16:26] <biggalant_> if you have time, can you help me with this?
[16:26] <bobweaver> sure
[16:26] <biggalant_> I think one very stupid error is that the Program cannot find GTK+
[16:26] <biggalant_> and I actually downloaded every GTK+ package that I could find from the Synaptic Package manager
[16:26] <bobweaver> I can only help thou and can not give anwsers as this is for school and that is against the Ubuntu Code of Conduct
[16:27] <biggalant_> but, most importantly, it says X11 Headers not found
[16:27] <biggalant_> sorry, X11 binary file not found
[16:27] <biggalant_> any ideas?
[16:27] <bobweaver> GTK is a widget liary that is used to render things to screen (I think )  what is the package name that you are working on ?
[16:28] <biggalant_> name every package you know, and I am sure it is installed already
[16:28] <biggalant_> but, which one I am working on, that I don't know
[16:28] <bobweaver> A.K.A the program that is trowing errors
[16:28] <biggalant_> ok, it is called gildas
[16:29] <biggalant_> it could be downloaded from this iram website
[16:29] <bobweaver> !info gildas
[16:29] <biggalant_> http://www.iram.fr/IRAMFR/GILDAS/
[16:29] <biggalant_> in terminal?
[16:30] <bobweaver> no that was for boit
[16:30] <bobweaver> bot *
[16:30] <bobweaver> but it did not pick it up
[16:30] <biggalant_> bot?
[16:30] <biggalant_> for somebody else or?
[16:30] <bobweaver> !bot
[16:30] <ubot2`> Hi! I'm #ubuntu-beginners's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots
[16:31] <biggalant_> ok
[16:31] <biggalant_> now I am surprised why I can see only what you are writing
[16:31] <biggalant_> although there are a lot online
[16:31] <biggalant_> am I writing to everybody?
[16:31] <bobweaver> Yes
[16:31] <biggalant_> lol
[16:31] <biggalant_> how should I stop?
[16:32] <biggalant_> or, maybe that is how it works?
[16:32] <biggalant_> usually?
[16:33] <bobweaver> there are "rooms" on IRC that are full of people when you enter a room/channel   then you are talking to everyone in that room
[16:33] <bobweaver> all chats are loged
[16:33] <bobweaver> logged *
[16:33] <bobweaver> http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[16:34] <biggalant_> interesting
[16:34] <bobweaver> as far as GTK rendering and fortan and c and C++ that is a whole new ballgame
[16:34] <bobweaver> there is a channel for each of them things :)
[16:35] <biggalant_> ok, if you want, you can try to download the file
[16:36] <biggalant_> it is small, and you will have an idea how it works
[16:36] <bobweaver> Only GTK stuff that I do is NUX and Glade stuff I am not a expert on that sorry. But I bet that the channels for thouse subjects are full of smart people
[16:37] <biggalant_> ok, so can you recommend a channel for this please?
[16:37] <biggalant_> I mean, how do I enter a channel?
[16:37] <biggalant_> is it like ubuntu-beginners?
[16:38] <bobweaver> yes
[16:38] <biggalant_> ok, so /join ...
[16:38] <biggalant_> right?
[16:38] <bobweaver> it is the same thing like  /join #<name of channel >
[16:38] <biggalant_> yup
[16:38] <bobweaver> like /join #C++
[16:38] <bobweaver> like /join #fortan
[16:38] <bobweaver> ect
[16:39] <bobweaver> not sure where there is a list of all the places
[16:39] <bobweaver> you can check      channel     #freenode
[16:40] <biggalant> you already sent me the channel list
[16:40] <biggalant> I will try to log in to something near GTK right?
[16:41] <bobweaver> sure I have to go but have a good one :)  and have fun with Ubuntu :)
[16:41] <biggalant> thanks you to
[16:41] <biggalant> and thanks for the help
[16:41] <biggalant> :D
[16:48] <c11> hi there, i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleiSight and my internal usb camera is up and running, but unfortunately the mousepad does not work anymore (as soon as i start the iSight) any idea?
[16:51] <bobweaver> c11, looking
[16:52] <c11> also when running "cheese" ans using the camera,  and i plug an external usb-mouse cheese closes.
[16:52] <bobweaver> c11,  so as soon as you turn on cheese mousepad goes out
[16:52] <c11> and
[16:53] <c11> bob i think so bbl rebooting to find out.
[16:53] <bobweaver> kah
[16:55] <c11> bobweaver, yes
[16:55] <c11> bobweaver, well... my problem is gone somehow.
[16:55] <bobweaver> c11,  what does apport say ?
[16:55] <c11> i uninstalled apport
[16:56] <c11> because apport did bother me with some DRI/DRM intel-gpu "crash" i couldn't even see or notice
[16:56] <bobweaver> woopsie
[16:57] <bobweaver> maybe ?
[16:57] <bobweaver> I am not sure what is going on I say file a bug under cheese
[16:58] <bobweaver> afk 10 min
[16:59] <c11> bobweaver, im not sure either, the tutorial stated that it was mandatory to switch the machine off in order to get the hardware config(state) reset, after a default reboot (without switching off completely) the camera works without named bug.
[16:59] <c11> afk 10min.
[17:43] <biggalant> how to log out?
[17:43] <biggalant> please?
[17:44] <biggalant> Can someone tell me how to logout please?
[17:46] <bioterror> !error | biggalant
[17:46] <ubot2`> biggalant: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[17:46] <biggalant> Dear freenode users
[17:47] <biggalant> It is my first login, and I would lke to logout before closing the browser
[17:47] <biggalant> can anybody help?
[17:47] <bioterror> close the tab?
[17:47] <biggalant> so no logout option?
[17:47] <biggalant> like msn or so
[17:47] <biggalant> ?
[17:48] <bioterror> sure you can type /disconnect
[17:48] <bioterror> if you want
[17:48] <biggalant> thx
[17:48] <biggalant> and then?
[17:48] <bioterror> but if your irc client does not respond to ping with pong for 2mins, you will be ping timeouted
[17:49] <biggalant> it says disconnect command unknown
[17:49] <bioterror> oh well
[17:49] <bioterror> close the ta
[17:49] <bioterror> tab
[17:49] <bioterror> see you later
[17:49] <biggalant> ok
[17:49] <bioterror> there he goes
[17:51] <not_found> installed bastion via the software centre, everytime I move my mouse the game crashes :/ any ideas what I could try?
[17:54] <c11> not_found, try setting your mouse so "SWCursor" in xorg.conf http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/SiS2.html: Option "SWCursor", "HWCursor" These options select whether the software (SW) or hardware (HW) cursor should be used. The default is using the hardware cursor.
[17:54] <not_found> I don't think I have an xorg.conf
[17:59] <c11> not_found, have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and search for the configfile location, if you dont have any you can generate one.
[18:00] <not_found> is this a typical issue as I can't find any similar issues online? but thanks...  I will keep it in mind and most probably try it :p
[18:04] <c11> not_found, i never had issues with HW/SWmouse but you said the game crashes were related to mousemovement thats why i thought about HW/SWmouse.
[18:05] <c11> not_found, try to set/unset fullscreen and then move the mouse and see if the game still crashes.
[18:08] <not_found> c11, when I launch the game it goes default full screen... don't get a chance to set any parameters (and don't know of any CLI commands / options)... haven't found any :/ (hell, I am such a noob I can't even find the executable for this game) :(
[18:16] <c11> not_found, they charge 20 $$$ for that game? then write them an email (or just use the windows port) support@supergiantgames.com
[18:17] <not_found> c11, thanks for the assistance
