[09:00] <AnAnt> Hello, I am using LDAP authentication on my machine, the problem is that lightdm (unity-greeter)  doesn't show all users on LDAP, neither does it allow entering an arbitrary user, how can I fix that ?
[09:01] <ikonia> AnAnt: please don't cross-post your question in multiple channels, pick the best channel and ask in theere
[09:01] <AnAnt> ikonia: which is the best channel ?
[09:02] <ikonia> AnAnt: up to you
[09:28] <AnAnt> is pam-auth-update supposed to update /etc/pam.d/lightdm ?
[09:29] <AnAnt> I note that it already includes common-* files
[09:29] <ikonia> AnAnt: as I'm reading it now
[09:29] <ikonia> no
[09:30] <AnAnt> so back to square one
[09:30] <ikonia> it looks like you will need to do that manually, I don't even think it's meant to update lightdm (it's questionable about if it should be designed to do that)
[09:31] <AnAnt> ikonia: but what should I add ?
[09:31] <ikonia> AnAnt: it depends on the setup
[09:32] <ikonia> AnAnt: have a little research on pam rules
[09:32] <ikonia> (also use what's there as an idea/guide)
[09:34] <AnAnt> ikonia: ok, there's another problem with lightdm, that it doesn't allow to enter a username (ie. I only can select from a list of usernames)
[09:35] <ikonia> someone has asked about that before
[09:35] <ikonia> AnAnt: that is configurable......I just don't know/can't remember where
[09:37] <AnAnt> ah, greeter-show-manual-login
[09:37] <ikonia> well done
[09:39] <AnAnt> funny thing is that the default is true !
[09:39] <AnAnt> erm, maybe I'm wrong
[10:50] <AnAnt> thanks
[11:09] <Italian_Plumber> good morning.  I am testing a machine where I am adding a minimal GUI.  I have installed "gdm" and several other packages, but not the full GUI found on ubuntu desktop.  What is the package for the GUI program for adding and maintining users?  I can't seem to find it.
[12:34] <SpamapS> TheLordOfTime: did you need something?
[12:35] <SpamapS> Italian_Plumber: perhaps look into Lubuntu.. which gives you LXDE.. a very light weight desktop
[12:41] <Italian_Plumber> SpamapS: thanks, I had forgot about that... that's a good idea for what I want to do
[15:00] <marc_12314> I constantly have error message in my syslog with  "[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DDC responded, but no EDID for…"… is it possible to tell the system to ignore those messages so they don't get in the log??  (it's for a headless server with very old graphic card and very old monitor, only used so I can see the bios when I boot… so I don't really care about that error)
[15:01] <marc_12314> using syslog-ng btw
[15:04] <JanC> you get that error repeatedly?
[15:05] <marc_12314> yes, something about the video card not able to identify the monitor I guess
[15:06] <marc_12314> every 10 seconds
[15:06] <marc_12314> you can imagine my syslog :P
[15:07] <JanC> I don't use syslog-ng, but maybe blacklisting nouveau is an option too
[15:08] <marc_12314> I see that the config file have some  destination / filter / log  settings… I found that  I can set a destination named d_drop with no destination, so it would simply drop those messages… but can't find how to filter what I need :/
[15:09] <marc_12314> how would you go about blacklisting nouveau?
[15:10] <marc_12314> (I hate that name "nouveau", it means "new" in french… make no sense to me that is the graphic card drivers :P)
[15:11] <JanC> I know french  ;)
[15:11] <JanC> I guess it was a word game: NouVeau to make a new NVidia driver  ;)
[15:14] <marc_12314> JanC: could be… I can live with that  :)
[15:16] <JanC> anyway, blacklist the nouveau module
[15:17] <marc_12314> If I blacklist that module, does it mean I won't have any screen output after the bios ?
[15:18] <JanC> I think it will use text mode instead of a framebuffer
[15:21] <marc_12314> so… I create a new file in  /etc/modprobe.d/   and simply put   "blacklist nouveau"
[15:21] <marc_12314> is that correct?
[15:22] <JanC> yes, afaik
[15:24] <JanC> there might also be a way to disable EDID in nouveau, but I don't seem to have a manpage for it
[15:26] <marc_12314> ooooh, look at that, there's a loading screen on ubuntu 12.04…  I never saw that before :P  guess the driver was crashing, I always had a blank screen for 2-3 seconds before the login prompt
[15:27] <marc_12314> it worked perfect, clean log now :)
[15:27] <marc_12314> (well, kinda)
[15:28] <JanC> blame nvidia (Linus did it before you ;) )
[15:28] <marc_12314> lol, yeah, I saw that!  very funny
[15:28] <JanC> actually, the rest of that talk was a lot more interesting
[15:33] <marc_12314> didn't had time to look at the talk yet… pretty weird, I found 2 source for the full talk video (vimeo and youtube) in both case the screen goes blank when I load the page...
[15:35] <marc_12314> wow, every link I find that is supposed to have the full video goes blank… wtf….
[15:41] <JanC> marc_12314: youtube/vimeo need JavaScript etc.
[15:41] <JanC> maybe even Java and/or flash
[15:42] <marc_12314> JanC: everything else works, I can see all videos, but everything about that talk in full length, the page goes blank… really weird
[15:43] <JanC> you have any content filter?
[15:44] <marc_12314> nope.   but closed the browser and now it's working…
[15:45] <JanC> nice, now you will see Linus explaining to the entrepreneur society why and how he avoided becoming an entrepreneur...  ☺
[15:46] <JanC> (but also saying thanks to the entrepreneurs who built their company on selling linux)
[15:47] <marc_12314> JanC, thanks a lot for your help.  I'll try to find time to watch that video later tonight.
[15:57] <Womkes> What is currently the correct way to restart networking
[15:57] <Womkes> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart tells me that it's depricated
[15:57] <ikonia> Womkes: service networking restart
[15:59] <JanC> ikonia: plus "sudo"  ;)
[15:59] <ikonia> but of course
[15:59] <JanC> in most cases at least
[16:00] <Womkes> stop: Unknown instance:
[16:00] <Womkes> networking stop/waiting
[16:00] <Womkes> I get that?
[16:00] <Womkes> Supposed to do that?

[19:53] <RedBeard_> hello, does anyone know a good video capture software suitable for ubuntu-server ? and is it possible to run in non-GUI mode?
[19:53] <RedBeard_> for security type cameras
[19:59] <RoyK> RedBeard_: vlc or ffmpeg or ...
[20:02] <RedBeard_> ok great, is it possible to run it without starting the GUI ?
[20:03] <RoyK> RedBeard_: yes
[20:04] <RoyK> RedBeard_: ffmpeg is commandline only, but a bit hard to setup, vlc has commandline mode
[20:05] <RedBeard_> ok , i plan on running a virtual box running pfsense for my dhcp/firewall, etc.  i want to have as many resources available, while still capturing video
[20:07] <RedBeard_> i am currently running pfsense freebsd directly installed, but im not sure if i can also do vid cap, so i thought i would need to install ubuntu instead and Vbox pfsense
[20:32] <RoyK> RedBeard_: you want to capture video on pfSense?
[22:30] <macnix> need a bit of help restoring an LVM volume
[22:41] <patdk-lap> restoring?
[22:43] <macnix> yeah, I can't seem to mount it anymore
[22:44] <macnix> I keep getting "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
[22:44] <patdk-lap> you don't mount lvm
[22:44] <macnix> and if I go with -t ext4, I get "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/lvm--raid-lvm0"
[22:45] <patdk-lap> what does blkid say?
[22:45] <macnix> patdk-lap: nothing for /dev/lvm-raid/lvm0
[22:46] <patdk-lap> hmm
[22:46] <macnix> ok the raid6 however I get: /dev/md2: UUID="sJxydW-lMTJ-fsQn-Bln1-z6Cj-Dt6F-OPxMtr" TYPE="LVM2_member"
[22:46] <macnix> which I can't mount
[22:46] <patdk-lap> ya, that seems fine
[22:46] <macnix> I've found this: http://www.softpanorama.org/Commercial_linuxes/LVM/recovery_of_lvm_partitions.shtml
[22:46] <macnix> following the LVM setup recovery
