[00:00] anyone know why a lot of the programs in the software center are out of date? [00:00] Jagst3r15, most probably because they're out of date in the repos [00:00] what does . do? [00:00] Jagst3r15, whats the error? [00:00] this script tells me ot do . ./vars [00:00] what is . ? [00:00] rwb: is it selected as fallback input? [00:00] domino14, it turns a girl into a woman :) [00:00] init[dot]d like skype, Geany, etc. are not current versions [00:01] Jagst3r15, those packages are usually help at other repos [00:01] no, I shut that off. There is mic1 and mic2 however, I have a thinkpad with only one mic... [00:01] build them from source for best results [00:01] domino14: . is the current directory. ./xyz runs an executable [00:01] init[dot]d: those sort of comments are not welcome in Ubuntu irc channels. [00:01] init[dot]d wat u mean? [00:02] domino14, can you paste the whole message into a pastebin? [00:02] is there a build of unbuntu for notebooks ? or dose the desktop one run o.k on it ? [00:02] Jagst3r15, look on google for those packages not in synaptic [00:02] rwb: how do you notice it doesn't work? only because it doesn't show any sound in pavucontrol? [00:02] vars is not an exectuable [00:03] elspuddy, it really depends on the notebook [00:03] if i do . ./vars it says NOTE: If you run ./clean-all, I will be doing a rm -rf on /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys [00:03] domino14: setting up openvpn huh ;) [00:03] why dont they regulate the packages more init[dot]d? [00:03] domino14, what are you trying to set up? [00:03] i7c: yep, and i have no idea what . is [00:03] the vu control shows nothing, and when I do a "test call" in skype I get no audio. [00:03] openvpn [00:03] rwb,the other mic would be the jack (external) [00:03] Jagst3r15, probably too busy with the next distro [00:04] domino14: ./vars runs the vars script. ok it's not an executable but it is used to run stuff [00:04] what is the point of the . at first? [00:04] and are you grabbing openvpn from the apt-get? [00:04] init[dot]d, its a freedom notebook, 2008 [00:04] what skype version are you using and which ubuntu version [00:04] init[dot]d: correct, i got openvpn from apt-get [00:05] elspuddy, depends on archiatype, hardware, bios etc... [00:05] try loading 10.10 on it [00:05] I'm trying lots of combinations... There should be a VU on each choice in the Pulse control, and I can't get it to move. Actuall this is now happening on both my laptops (thinkpads) [00:05] * SkippersBoss has had his share of PA problems in combination with skype [00:05] domino14, so after it added openvpn what then? Why are you trying to run a script? [00:05] rwb: is it turned on in the alsamixer? [00:06] init[dot]d, : so saying its an intell atom , h2 bios dose not help ? [00:06] i'm following this: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server/1873 -- im not sure how to set up the openvpn server certificates and whtever [00:06] init[dot]d: it is part of the setup. you need to create certificates. the script is used to do this [00:06] * elspuddy got to grab 10/10 [00:06] i7c, yah I know but need to find out where domino14 is at so can tell them what the next step is [00:07] i'm just editing the vars directory [00:07] err file [00:07] the /var? [00:07] Ahh, I don't see an alsa mixer anywhere at all... [00:08] domino14: . represents the current directory... i won't tell it again, tho :) [00:08] Is there a way to just kill pulse audio altogether and just use something like jack? [00:08] rwb: :D open terminal and type alsamixer [00:08] so . ./vars doesn't make sense [00:08] domino14, your at the step $vim vars? [00:08] domino14: why not? it's the path to the script that is supposed to be run [00:09] OK in command, alsa mic looks like it's off... [00:09] rwb: turn it on ;) [00:09] easy fix [00:09] domino14: http://linux.about.com/od/linux101/l/blnewbie3_1_3.htm [00:09] :) [00:09] turning on... testing... [00:10] init[dot]d: yes [00:10] well now i just created the build-key-server [00:10] domino14: hope that link satisfies you [00:10] sure [00:10] test [00:10] anyone have any idea how i can make sure a usb3 port is recognized as usb3 and not usb2 or earlier? [00:10] domino14, are you in the directory /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/? [00:10] currently recognized as usb2 [00:10] sarsaeol, lsusb [00:11] init[dot]d: i have done that [00:11] oh [00:11] init[dot]d: it only lists usb2 or 1.1 [00:11] init[dot]d: yes. i just build-key client1 [00:11] yeah sorry [00:11] rwb: and? [00:11] still nothing...... [00:11] domino14, ok now whats the next step? [00:11] building dh [00:12] I am at the " select and install software " step on the installation .. but it failes at the end ... saying that step failed [00:12] rwb: you just increased the volume or you also removed the mute? ;) [00:12] I only had desktop environment checked and standard utilities [00:12] domino14, ok go for it [00:12] ahh, ok m testing again... [00:12] test [00:12] hi [00:12] rwb: you can recog. muted devices by the MM on the bottom [00:12] help, theres a proccess that refuses to be killed! [00:12] greg1979: your test was successful [00:13] a program has hung and i cant kill it [00:13] init[dot]d how come things like FireFox are up to date though? Does mozilla maintain the repo for it? [00:13] any ideas on why xchat isn't letting me join #django? I hit join channel and nothing happens [00:13] Jagst3r15, each package has its own repos / devs [00:13] Nicekiwi: try kill -9 [00:13] Hey people, I have a question. [00:14] i7c: dosnt work, says the PID dosnt exist [00:14] More like a problem instead. [00:14] when I opened pulse and selected mic 1, the vu moved for a second, then froze.... [00:14] although... [00:14] This is my problem: [00:14] i7c: nope, dosnt work [00:14] Nicekiwi: find out about the pid with ps -fA | grep -i "PROCESSNAME" [00:14] You see, I'm trying to run a .NET Framework 4 app with Mono 2.10. Thing is, it needs sqlite. [00:14] I installed sqlite. [00:15] Nonetheless, the app does not work. [00:15] It starts, but then fails. [00:15] JenniferB2, whats it doing now? [00:15] Nicekiwi: second column should be PID [00:15] Krywk, whats the error? [00:15] i7c: yeah but it claims that ID dosnt exist [00:15] Sec [00:16] the ID is 18020, bit it dosnt work :( [00:16] Nicekiwi: try killall [00:16] Let me paste it on pastebin [00:16] http://pastebin.com/McgNUyyD [00:16] There. [00:16] i7c: the proccess dosnt have a name either [00:17] Nicekiwi: o.O [00:17] i7c: the username on it is 'root, -1' [00:17] brb [00:17] rwb: yes that's a bug. don't worry. it usually moves while you are recording [00:17] rwb: try your skype test again and watch volumecontrol while doing the test. it'll work. it always freezes when unused. [00:18] I'm still getting nothing on the skype test calls... [00:18] bck [00:18] I can even hear the slight noise of the mic coming through the speakers... [00:18] Any hint on what's wrong, init[dot]d? [00:18] Nicekiwi: nothing unusual that a process runs as root. -1 seems to be a nice-value (process priority) [00:19] Krywk, yeah its Diablo 3 [00:19] :P [00:19] Yep [00:19] i7c: ive tried killing it and force killing it. nothing.. [00:19] did you configure sqlite to work with D3? [00:19] Uh, no? [00:19] How do I do that? [00:19] Nicekiwi: why do you even wanna kill it? can you see the process in htop or top? don't kill random system processes ;) [00:19] i7c: thwe windows is still there, CPU% is unkown, [00:20] Krywk, sec [00:20] i7c: its a game that crashed [00:20] Nicekiwi, what is your problem? [00:20] Nicekiwi: oh i see. what desktop are you using? [00:20] #bodhilinux [00:20] .. [00:20] my bad [00:21] Nicekiwi, what's the game that crashed? I might be able to help. [00:21] rwb: you can restart pulseaudio if you suspect it froze [00:22] OK on one of my laptops its working....... [00:22] hello! can anyone help me confirm a bug? on 12.04 when I install libpostgis-java (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/libpostgis-java/filelist) the file `/usr/share/java/postgis_debug.jar` never gets installed [00:22] rwb: or stop pulse from autospawning all together [00:22] too many settings. I wish I could use only one audio engine... can I uninstall pulse? [00:23] Krywk, is sqlite running? [00:23] Where do I check that? [00:23] sudo /etc/init.d/sqlite restart [00:24] Command not found "/etc/init.d/sqlite" [00:24] ._. [00:24] rwb: that's not a good idea. btw skype only works with pulseaudio. and you wouldn't be able to play more than one sound a time [00:24] lemme see what it is then [00:24] Krywk: SpringRTS [00:24] ? [00:24] SpringRTS... [00:24] i7c: uhm.. ubuntu, in the KDE DM [00:24] Krywk: the name of the game ;) [00:24] init[dot]d i see google has their own linux chrome download....is that auto updated by google? [00:25] Krywk: BA CHecken Defence [00:25] Yeah, I know, I was referring to init[dot]d [00:25] Chicken* [00:25] i7c: rwb no if u disable pulse Skype still works [00:25] SkippersBoss: really? ok, i didn't know that. [00:25] init[dot]d, let you see what is? [00:26] that's how i solved my mic problem in 11.10 [00:26] Krywk, are you following some tutorial for setting up D3? [00:26] Nope [00:26] in 12.04 PA seems to be working for me [00:26] I tried it because I thought it might work [00:26] sqlite usually will need apache2, php, stuff like that [00:26] you have to run the d3 as a server right? [00:26] Yes. [00:26] I mean, D3Emu. [00:26] This is crazy, I would like to use only one audio service like jack. I can't keep track of alsa, pulse, and jack, and how the interact with each other... [00:26] rwb: have you tried restarting pulseaudio on the pc that is still not working? first restart PA then skype [00:27] rwb: read about it ;) [00:27] so there is probably some sort of config file? [00:27] D3Emu needs sqlite by default. [00:27] But let me see. [00:28] i7c: guess i'll jus logout/in again.. :( [00:28] I think it is D3Emu.exe.config? [00:29] Nicekiwi: that could be the easiest solution [00:29] Krywk, not in Ubuntu [00:30] Dinner time. We shall continue later. [00:32] Seems to be working now. Thanks!! [00:33] rwb: i'm glad it works :) [00:33] how do i add java to ubuntu 12.04 using terminal [00:34] hi [00:34] Well, still not working on one of the laptops, and I can hear the audio going through the speakers but.... anyway, to many settings... [00:34] ive noticed in my logs that alot of packets are leaving my computer with ip source addy of 3.3.3.3 [00:34] what is it? [00:35] how do i add java [00:35] dr_jesus, how do i add java through terminal [00:35] rwb: well yeh it is kind of confusing. but at the same time pretty powerful. afaik pulseaudio has an own channel somewhere here. i'm sure they know more. [00:35] harrrismrubin: 'sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk' [00:35] harrrismrubin, follow this link let me know if you get stuck https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [00:36] daniear: afaik that is an DNS server. [00:37] I agree. I have one system that is using a delta1010 for recording and I only use jack. That system seems great. but for a laptop, I want a simple way to say "use setup for skype" or "use setup for aucacity" and the only fiddling should be on strings... [00:37] i dont have dns server running [00:37] daniear, are you running a cisco server? [00:38] no [00:38] is there any way I can inspect an `apt-get install` step by step? I think I found a bug [00:38] daniear, ifconfig [00:38] does it have anything about 3.x.x.x [00:39] does anyone have a galaxy tab [00:39] no [00:39] Thanks all! later... [00:39] my log says spoofed pkt in=eth0 out =... src = 3.3.3.3 [00:40] spoofed? [00:40] got thousands of them logged [00:40] thats what it says [00:40] are you running a packet analyzer? [00:40] like etherape or wireshark [00:40] just letting iptables log things not running analyzer === Dilberto is now known as PossumViolater [00:41] whats your netstat [00:41] 3.x.x.x or does it show IPs [00:42] doesnt show 3.xxxx [00:42] see anything from 255.x.x.x [00:42] no [00:43] do i have a virus why would i have spoofed packets leaving my computer [00:43] nope [00:43] whats type router do you have? [00:43] mattswe: you can use -s to simulate and not really install it?! doesn't help i guess [00:44] tp-link [00:44] this is a server not my home computer [00:44] hi [00:45] @i7c would you mind installing the package? [00:45] daniear, usually an IP of 1.1.1.1 or 3.3.3.3 or 10.x.x.x is the IP assighned to a virtual machine by a cisco router, so sometimes a Linksys router that is designed with the cisco firmware assigns the IPs on 1.x.x.x3.x.x.x10.x.x.x etc [00:45] how well would an ati 5400 card work with an ubuntu installation ? [00:45] @i7c and check if you have the same bug? [00:45] mattswe: depends on the size of the package and what this bug is ;) [00:46] :) [00:46] it's a tiny package and a tiny bug :) [00:46] http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/libpostgis-java/filelist [00:46] daniear, it is usually showing many packets due to poor configurations [00:46] is supposed to install `/usr/share/java/postgis.jar` ...but it doesn't [00:47] mattswe: i installed it. what now? [00:47] i7c: `ls /usr/share/java/postgis.jar` [00:48] and paste the response [00:48] mattswe: the file is there [00:48] :( [00:48] are you on 12.04? [00:48] mattswe: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 88108 Dec 5 2011 postgis.jar [00:49] Back [00:49] well shit. [00:49] init[dot]d, Not in ubuntu? [00:49] :) [00:49] spacedust: what exactly do you wanna know? if it works at all? [00:49] !language | mattswe [00:49] mattswe: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [00:49] @i7c what version of ubuntu? 12.04? [00:49] mattswe: yes. [00:49] i7c: yes :) but ill found out soon :) [00:49] huh. any idea why that might not be showing up for me? [00:50] in the "Indicator Applet" included with Ubuntu 10.04 lts. Is there a way to setup email account to just be a notifier for when you get a new msg. so you can open them in thunderbird ? [00:50] i7c: id like it to work with vga + hdmi at the same time [00:50] nick SocialEvil [00:50] ups === ubuntu is now known as SocialEvil [00:51] spacedust: well sometimes there are driver issues. but if you get the card to work properly you will be able to do that. [00:51] i7c: will precise pangolin work out of the box ? [00:52] ... [00:52] init[dot]d? [00:52] Krywk, ? [00:52] spacedust: normally it should yes. i just heard about single cases where it didn't. [00:53] init[dot]d, you said 'Not on ubuntu'. I don't understand. [00:54] you dont run .exe files on Ubuntu [00:54] you CAN with wine+other tweaking [00:54] so a Unix configuration file is not going to be labeled .exe [00:54] i7c: okay ill try it tomorrow and tell you about it [00:55] init[dot]d, if I try to run D3Emu.exe in wine, it says I need Net Framework;version=4.0; [00:55] i7c: does the iso work on a flash drive ? [00:55] yupp [00:55] i7c: if i use dd to write the iso to the flash ? [00:55] Even though I have it. [00:55] sounds like more a D3 problem not really an Ubuntu one [00:55] spacedust: ok. if you have a weaker video card you should think about an different desktop environment than unity. [00:55] spacedust: are you on windows right now? [00:55] D3 is throwing the error [00:55] D3 is not throwing the error, D3Emu is. [00:56] i7c: no [00:56] I searched for the problem, they said I should rename D3Emu.exe.config to something else and try again. [00:56] I tried. [00:56] A waaaaaaaaaay bigger error. [00:56] i7c: i was thinking 5400 with 512mb of ram is not a weak card :P [00:56] it is ? [00:56] Does splitting your layout over multiple partitions (/, /home, /boot, /var, /usr and /tmp) have any real advantage for a home user vs the standard (/ and /boot) config. (I don't use my /home for data, I use a separate ntfs partition) [00:56] Krywk, #winehq [00:57] gah, I need some help. [00:57] Ironsight, I'm here because I'm trying to get something net40 related to work with mono, so no. [00:57] I tried installing dropbox [00:57] spacedust: well. depends on the year :D it's not high-end anymore. but should be ok. === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [00:57] and now it's locked up my synaptic package manager, when I run sudo dpkg --configure -a [00:57] all that happens is it downloads dropbox to 99% and then hangs [00:57] oh good, another X/compiz crash [00:58] spacedust: it's just that unity is a resource eater. [00:58] ^This [00:58] Can anyone asist me in updating from 11.10 to 12.04? I tried the update manager, but no luck. Also, when trying from CD, no update option is available. [00:59] spacedust: you can use unetbootin to transfer ,iso to flash [00:59] spacedust: oh and yes you can install from flashdrive. you find plenty of guides on the internet [00:59] I've found unetbootin stuffs upthe flash drive for future usage... so uh, be sure it's one you don't particularly care about [00:59] init[dot]d, so that's why I'm trying to run it with mono, since it throws a simpler error. [00:59] Unetbootin [00:59] I don't think installing from flash will change anything. [00:59] so um, my problem with installing dropbox, how do i cancel it so i can at least get synaptic working [01:00] this doesn't answer your question, but for a major jump like that, I would personally just reinstall the OS, "fresh" [01:00] Never had an issue with unetbootin... Ever [01:00] oh no, me neither, it works fine. [01:00] bear_: Did you run update-manager -d ? [01:00] It just mucks around with the flash drive itself. [01:01] daniear, I dunno Im not a linux gamer gnurd [01:01] maybe see if someone has set up the d3emu server before [01:01] I hate that windows has YUMI. We don't even have any equivalent to that, it blow unetbootin out the water. [01:01] @ratcheer Yes, the option to update doesn't show up. [01:01] Hmm... I'll see what I can find. [01:02] NictraSavios linux has MultiSystem [01:02] NictraSavios http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ [01:02] init[dot]d, I tried running it on Windows 7 x64 with mono 2.10 and sqlite, and it works fine. [01:03] So I'm not sure why the error shows up here. [01:03] bear_: I'm really not sure, I have done clean installs the last few times. [01:03] cool [01:03] maybe check in #wine [01:03] Let's see. [01:04] MonkeyDust, ... You ... just made my life complete [01:04] hey, I need some help cancelling this dropbox install, I can't access the synaptic package manager because it's holding everything up [01:04] MonkeyDust, Thank you!! I have ever heart of that. [01:05] Anyone else know why 12.04 update isn't showing up for me? :/ [01:05] NictraSavios i've been using it for over a year now [01:06] Hi guys [01:06] what do you want alex369! [01:06] MonkeyDust, Heard* and, Wow, I've always hated to have to use a VM to use YUMI :P. [01:07] Do you know one channel for archlinux's support? I tried with archlinux and linux but nothing to do, i've problem on freenode for login. Can anyone help me? [01:07] MonkeyDust, I run a pure Linux system with a VM for iTunes, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. [01:07] alex #archlinux .... Since your an arch user, RTFM. You could have googled that aha [01:07] NictraSavios, iTunes = There are equivalents, Photoshop = Playonlinux, ADOBE = Playonlinux [01:07] alex369, ^* [01:08] alex369: google says #archlinux [01:08] How does one uhh remove "individual packages" using synaptic packagemanger.. EG: I'm trying to remove gnome games but it wants to remove gnome as well [01:08] NictraSavios: which VM software do you use? [01:08] Krywk, iTunes, none as seamless for iPhone syncing. and CS6 dosen't work yet. [01:08] I tried with #archlinux but the login is necessary and i'm not able to login. [01:09] i7c, Virtualbox, Never had an issue with it aha. [01:09] alex369: do you have an account? if not, get one ;) [01:09] Register a new nick then ;p [01:09] i7c: yes, but i can't connect, i don't know why. [01:09] alex369, Google "make account on freenode". Major skill as an arch user is googlefu and wikifu. [01:09] Ironsight: oh my god, another account? [01:09] NictraSavios: photoshop does not work in the vm? [01:09] I have like 3 [01:10] i7c, Works fine :P [01:10] screen -r irc [01:10] NictraSavios: ok good. i thought it should :D [01:10] where is my awesome vpn helper? [01:10] i think i've successfully connected to an openvpn server, on another machine, but ping 10.8.0.1 times out [01:11] i7c, With 12GB of ram in this laptop, I can easliy devote 6-8 to the vm and everything runs smooth a waterslide. [01:11] as a* [01:11] as smooth as a* [01:11] lol [01:12] i have only 6GB but i think should be enough since ubuntu doesnt use anything of it :D [01:12] Yeah.... If you've noticed my typing sucks? Getting used to this wireless keyboard -_-. [01:12] Hahaha [01:12] on startup i have like 200MiB used. how nice is this. thanks to xfce tho. unity would eat RAM like windows. [01:12] Anyone here experienced in Mono? [01:13] i7c, I use Gnome 3. The only thing that I like about unity is the taskbar icon that integrates Mail, Chat, Social Networks and Feeds all into one nice menu. [01:14] i7c, Its a ram eater but... Its a pretty ram eater P. Maybe I'll give Cinnamon a go in a week or so. [01:15] init[dot]d: hi [01:15] NictraSavios: :D yeh it's pretty indeed. but i can't take delays. those make me mad. and xfce is fast and with some confing and theming beautiful + highly usable [01:15] domino14, ohai [01:15] hi.. Why the version 12.04 server has changed the "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" command? How can I change my keyboard map now? Someone can help me to how to change my keyboard in version 12.04 using only CLI? [01:16] init[dot]d: so i got my openvpn server and client, and i believe i've connected the client to the server -- is ee this line Tue Jun 26 01:06:54 2012 Initialization Sequence Completed [01:16] but doing ping 10.8.0.1 times out [01:16] i7c, No arguments here, it's a stable, spartan DE and those that like it, love it! [01:16] domino14, thats a gateway IP [01:16] whats the IP of the server? [01:17] i used the default server conf file that has this server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 [01:17] NictraSavios: :). anyways i'm off to bed. see ya around. [01:17] the comments above it say The server will take 10.8.0.1 for itself, [01:17] i7c, Night :P [01:17] # Each client will be able to reach the server # on 10.8.0.1. Comment this line out if you are [01:17] Does splitting your layout over multiple partitions (/, /home, /boot, /var, /usr and /tmp) have any real advantage for a home user vs the standard (/ and /boot) config. (I don't use my /home for data, I use a separate ntfs partition) ? [01:18] ok ifconfig [01:18] ifconfig tun0 tells me inet addr:10.8.0.6 P-t-P:10.8.0.5 Mask:255.255.255.255 [01:18] (on the client) [01:18] is there already anything attached to that IP address? [01:18] NictraSavios, having a separate /home partition means when/if you reinstall your config files remain intact [01:18] ifconfig tun0 on the server tells me inet addr:10.8.0.1 P-t-P:10.8.0.2 Mask:255.255.255.255 [01:19] i don't think theres anything attached [01:19] NictraSavios: No, just /home like th0r said [01:20] and a ping times out? [01:20] yeah they just all fail [01:20] ratcheer, th0r So all that stuff about it being better to have a /var, /usr and /tmp dosen't apply for home use? No increased security gained? [01:21] dd [01:21] domino14, ok are you in the server or in a vm or what? [01:21] NictraSavios, I have run linux for a long time, and find that having / and /home is all I need [01:21] the server is a box on EC2, the client is a box on Rackspace [01:22] i guess by box i mean a virtual server === ztag100 is now known as Guest64242 === ztag100_ is now known as ztag100 [01:22] th0r, Alright, thank you. I use luks encryption so I need a separate /boot. But otherwise, you advice helps a lot! aha [01:22] ok and can you ssh into 10.8.0.1? [01:22] your* [01:22] NictraSavios: I also use a separate swap partition, but it is shared among all my Linux distros. === kermit1 is now known as kermit [01:23] ratcheer, I tend to use swap files since having them on the root means their already encrypted, no need to worry about unencrypted data being written to them on suspend to disk. [01:24] ratcheer, I have Ubuntu Linux and Backtrack Linux installed. I keep windows 7 and windows 8 on a vm :P [01:25] Hi! [01:26] the ssh commands just times out init[dot]d [01:27] hm [01:27] ping the 10.8.0.4 [01:28] hello [i]again[/i], can anyone give me a havd with my split network thing? (im going to be back here ever night until it is solved) [01:29] does show-desktop always clear ALL WORKSPACES? [01:29] i need help routing traffic from transmission-daemon into a seperatc network interface [01:29] Pinkamena_D: wtf BBCode? [01:29] using iptables [01:29] hey [01:29] how do i cancel this dropbox install [01:29] IronFart: ask dropbox [01:29] it's hanging at 99% and until I figure out how to properly get rid of it [01:29] I can't use the synaptic package manager [01:29] or install anything else for that matter [01:30] well i thought you guys would understand what it was supposed to look like from the code because irssi provides no real way to do it [01:30] (or i guess irc protocol) [01:30] okay i need some help [01:30] irc is a plain text medium [01:30] ok [01:30] IronFart, #dropbox [01:30] my ubuntu cursor is stuck in drag mode [01:30] Hi guys! How to increase fan speed? My laptop is running hot, it even shut down it self. :/ [01:30] and i cant click anything [01:31] Pinkamena_D, welcome back [01:31] yes, so i have to express my italics with plain text [01:31] -_- [01:31] oh /really/ [01:31] hmm [01:31] ok i will remember that for the future [01:31] *do that* [01:31] oh, that's usually bold [01:31] hello again etc/init.d [01:32] can you explain your iptables suggestion a bit? (if you have time) [01:32] how to control fan speed? [01:32] i didn't have one [01:32] i meant init.d [01:32] Pinkamena_D, like? [01:32] hey [01:33] what's the temperature of your laptops running ubuntu 12.04? [01:33] so any idea with the stuck cursor? [01:33] CPU temperature [01:33] well, how does it sync with trnsmission? does the incoming traffic port spefici all traffic or just incoming? can you bind iptables to a pid instead of a port if not? [01:33] my CPU is at 80Celcius :/ [01:33] Draxel: that's freakin hot [01:34] Draxel: check your cooling fan. it may be loose. [01:34] haz3lnut and the cpu usage is 16% [01:34] Pinkamena_D, it would be done by port [01:34] or clogged with dust [01:34] for the cursor try violently tapping all the keys on your keyboard and mouse [01:34] haz3lnut it works fine on win7 so i think this is a software issue [01:34] that usually works for me [01:35] ok, so port [01:35] Draxel: are you overclocked? [01:35] and would look similar to this /sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 10.40.30.123 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 10.40.30.123:31337(your_port_here) [01:35] their is no port specified in settings.json, but their is one in the program itself [01:35] haz3lnut no. it's just a dell laptop with i3 cpu. [01:35] however it only says "incoming" [01:36] what is DPORT and the two addresses [01:36] Draxel: 16% doesn;t seem high enough to cause all that heat. [01:36] haz3lnut is there any way to manually increase fan speed on ubuntu? [01:36] are they gateways or the ip of the interfaces or what === ryan_ is now known as dj_ryan [01:37] Draxel: that, I don;t know [01:37] what kernel is Ubuntu on now? [01:37] 3.2 [01:37] thx [01:37] np [01:37] How do you see that? [01:38] $ uname -r [01:38] haz3lnut, my laptop unexpectedly shut down while i was working with gimp. I think, the fan is not running as fast as needed [01:38] Pinkamena_D, open a terminal and man iptables [01:38] it gives a breakdown of all of it and how to do it [01:39] i tried that once, it just broke everything [01:39] however, if you believe it to be the best course of action, so be it [01:40] Draxel: wish I could help you more. It just seems unlikely it's software, and more likely you have too much dust in your machine. Screwdriver and a vacuum usually helps with that. [01:40] Draxel: Be careful with that vacuum hose, though. [01:40] draxel, though not a global statement, all the laptops i have used are generally bad for things processor intensive [01:40] lol [01:40] ;) [01:41] don;t suck up any capacitors! [01:41] exactamundo! [01:41] haz3lnut, Thanks for your help. I'll try to sort it out :) [01:41] if clearing the dust does not help, though, you may try prying the heatsinks and applying some artic silver or something [01:41] My mouse is stuck in drag&drop mode is there a way to fix it without restarting? [01:41] that helped greatly on one for me [01:41] but it is commonly known that ubuntu makes pcs run hotter isn't it? [01:42] not that i was aware of [01:42] Me either. [01:42] No [01:42] hey i got a question about openvpn.. the internet told me to set it in UDP mode but i really need all the packets for this operation (redis replication) [01:42] will openvpn be smart enough to not actually drop those packets? [01:42] My laptop actually runs cooler on Ubuntu, of course YMMV. [01:43] even battery life is lower on ubuntu even though no intensive applications are used [01:43] Draxel: Compared to what? [01:44] win7 [01:44] i do not think that is a global statement, but i suppose it is possible drivers for other operating systems may work better. [01:44] in specific applications [01:44] Honestly, it's hard to make a comparision without a lab-type setup. [01:45] Each OS, configuration, installed software, are so different. Even on the same box. [01:45] still, no matter what OS you decide to run, clean out the dust, replace the thermal paste if needed [01:45] I had several laptops running both ubuntu and win7, and I noticed both hotter temperatures as well as shorter battery lives :) that's just my observation. [01:45] maybe the fan itself want bad and runs slow, i have had thos heppen to my northbridge once [01:45] Pinkamena I use relatively new laptop [01:46] alright, np, just saying that has worked for me ...sometimes [01:46] anyway, I suspect this is something to do with fan speed. I need to increase it ;) [01:47] Draxel: you might want to research cpufrequtils. I have never used it, and others here might have som input, but it will allow you to have more control over your cpu speed, thus potentially reducing heat. [01:47] Hi, #Ubuntu. I have a partition problem. [01:47] ask away [01:47] haz3lnut, thanks. i'll take a look at it [01:48] For some reason, my extended partition won't increase in size (using GParted) [01:48] cheers for your suggestions :) See you later guys [01:48] I will be using the Live CD, so ignore the locks for now. [01:48] l8r, Draxel [01:48] Here's the layout: [01:48] http://static.inky.ws/image/2237/image.jpg [01:50] any body help me with the livce cd for ubuntu [01:50] moratinos, what you need help me [01:50] i ment what you need haha [01:51] ive been trying to get help but no dice for me [01:51] i just dont know how to do it and i dont know if the descktop version will work for my laptop [01:51] Desktop version works on laptops [01:51] will work [01:51] What laptop do you have [01:52] acer [01:52] Linux probably has support for it. [01:52] How old> [01:52] ? [01:52] it will work but you can wubi install it and see how it goes [01:52] moratinos: if you know how to get to your bios, set it to boot from cd and go. [01:52] I don't see anything wrong with your HDD, fswiss. [01:52] moratinos, have you burned to live cd yet? [01:52] i need to make live cd [01:52] and dont know how [01:52] Using Windows [01:52] ahh [01:52] ? [01:52] necronomicon? [01:52] is it possible to wubi install other linux distros [01:52] I use InfraRecorder. [01:53] MetaBot_, i dont think so [01:53] For CDs [01:53] windows 7 has an iso burner [01:53] built in the OS === jen is now known as squishumz [01:53] what does the term 'kernal' mean/ [01:53] I don't think W7's built-in burner worked for me, though. [01:53] shadykhan: really? they finally put that in the os? [01:53] kernel is the center of the OS [01:53] yep [01:53] im very bnew to all this and i jst dont understand most of what you guys are saying lol [01:54] moratinos i would link you [01:54] moratinos: Are you using Windows 7? [01:54] but i cant do anything cause my mouse is stuck in drag mode [01:54] thank you [01:54] and i cant click on anything [01:54] shadykhan [01:54] thats why im in here for help [01:54] moratinos: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Burn-a-CD-or-DVD-from-an-ISO-file [01:54] talk to me, your mouse is stuck in drag? [01:54] yeah this happens atleast once a day to me [01:54] dragging something [01:54] It happens to me [01:54] too [01:54] and now my mouse icon changed to the dragging icon [01:54] using Sandy Bridge, you? [01:54] never happened to me [01:54] now i can easily restart [01:55] happens to me using Firefox [01:55] Shadykhan, are you using sandy bridge? [01:55] no [01:55] What chipset then? [01:56] Because I get this problem too, except I'm not dragging anything, so it happens when I'm watching video and stuff, too, [01:56] ahh im on a amd chipset [01:56] Anyway, GParted says I can't have overlapping partitions. [01:56] fwiss, so how do you fix it? [01:56] I didn't. [01:56] well how do you solve it [01:56] It still happens. [01:56] when it happens [01:56] restart? [01:57] I switch to tty1 [01:57] and restart Xorg's process [01:57] it doesn't happen more than once a day generally. [01:57] I'm hoping it'll be fixed in 12.10 [01:57] if not [01:57] right-alt/SysRq/K [01:57] I'm going back to Windows. [01:57] how can i buil a custome ubunto such as susestudio [01:58] !remaster | Ranget [01:58] Ranget: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer?

[01:58] DoobieDoobie: [01:59] huh? [01:59] My disk works fine on evrything elese [01:59] *else [01:59] i have been reding the iptables thing an i am still lost. [01:59] It just can't extend that partition [02:00] I'm guessing it's because my /boot is inside the extended partition? [02:00] fwiss: you might want to have a look at this. similar issue [02:00] http://superuser.com/questions/275158/gparted-error-cant-have-overlapping-partitions [02:01] Well, I purposefully unallocated that disk space [02:01] thanks but that's not as easy as susestudio [02:01] I took it from Windows 7's partition [02:01] Ahh, I see. then you're probably right about the /boot dir [02:01] Ranget, there is no such ubuntu equivalent [02:01] and I want to add that free space to my extended partition. [02:02] But even when I'm using Gparted live cd, it locks the same, just without locks. [02:02] ok thanks [02:03] If it were that the boot part was the prob, it would warn me, but let it continue. [02:03] In this case, I simply can't increase the size of the ext. partition. [02:05] Hi all, I am looking for deploymnet tools, mostly C++ code base and some Java to over 50 or so Ubuntu hosts . Any thoughts ? [02:06] Well, bye then. [02:06] fwiss: can you provide the output of: fdisk -u ? [02:06] fdisk -lu I mean [02:07] Oh, he's gone.

[02:36] joint, whats the real question [02:36] sicko: Maybe Windows XP is still there, but Grub's timeout value is 0 [02:36] means squat to me [02:36] http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=65zymt&s=6 --- here is a screen shot of disk analyzer [02:37] http://unstableme.blogspot.com/2009/01/find-largest-files-in-linux.html [02:37] i have 2.8gigs of free disk space. but 58 used. how is that possible when it really says .7% used under it? [02:37] yeah xp is still there for sure [02:37] sicko: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"?

[02:39] ill try [02:39] sicko so you do or do not see a GRUB menu when you first boot wwith a list of the differnt linux kernels? [02:39] no grub menu str8 into ubntu [02:40] so the grub menu is hidden. holding shift as it boots should make it appear. [02:40] ok lets try that [02:40] brb [02:40] they really really need to print some message about hidden grub when the system boots.. or ust stop hideing the thing.. [02:42] no joy holding shift [02:42] Looks like it's changing timeout value by hand [02:43] dr_willis, no grub menu whatsoever [02:43] init[dot]d : how to decrypt it again? [02:43] dr_willis, holding shift does make it apppear [02:43] init[dot]d : i simply did mcrypt dom.txt [02:43] how to decrypt it again [02:44] sicko you can edit the file /etc/default/grub to change the timeout value and have it not hide the grub menu. but im not on a linux box so cant walk you through it. [02:44] but there should be others in here that can, and tons of online docs on the /etc/default/grub file [02:45] bleechbit is raping my computer right now [02:45] lol [02:45] baazigar, mcrypt_decrypt file.txt [02:45] AcidRain2012: keep it family friendly please [02:45] like brutally.

[02:50] http://pastebin.com/H3zCKhhP [02:50] is that not it ? [02:50] sicko: That is not it. [02:50] ok [02:51] is there any way to update the google chrome from the official google site? [02:51] Jagst3r15: I don't understand what you mean. Could you try to rephrase your question? [02:51] like u know how u can get the google chrome from google.com it is more up to date, however it does not have auto update [02:52] Jagst3r15: I haven't used Chrome, but I think it automatically adds it repo into your system [02:52] so how would u update it [02:52] so it's updated via Update Manager [02:52] cuz the chromium one is bad [02:52] it is like a full version behind [02:52] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060101/ [02:52] Jagst3r15: Installing google chrome's .deb packages automatically adds a chrome repository. [02:52] and that will update itself? [02:53] Ubuntu's Update Manager will do the job [02:53] Mate qap [02:53] google chromes deb does add the google repo. then the package manager can updagte chrome.. yes.. [02:54] u know im taking about google chrome not chromium right [02:54] sorry just checking cuz i am noob [02:54] sicko: Could you run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces? (ubottu will give you instructions). [02:54] Googles Official Chrome DEB file.. adds the google Repository when the deb is installed.... [02:54] !bootinfo | sicko [02:54] sicko: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [02:55] kk [02:55] dr_willis does it like check the google.com repo daily to see if its current? [02:55] trying to figure out how it works kinda ;) [02:56] Jagst3r15: the package manager handles the updateing and checking... so how often it checks is how often its checked... [02:56] I set mine to check once a week i belive [02:56] Jagst3r15: If you're familiar with PPA, then this is the same [02:56] i am not [02:56] !ppa [02:56] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[03:02] I am downloading the 12.04 iso... should I keep doing this? [03:03] sniggles, if that's the version you want to install [03:03] sniggles: yes... and burn it with unetbootin [03:03] burn? [03:03] "burn" the usb stick? [03:03] what a load of kuffuffle considering it told me i was installing alonside xp [03:03] "burn" is not the right word :P [03:03] sniggles, for lack of a better word, yes [03:03] it blatantly lied to me [03:03] sniggles: It is a relative term.... but no... technically you are not burning it. [03:04] is it stupid to do this with the USB? should I just go to the store and get a CD? [03:04] sniggles, I prefer usb... it's faster [03:04] ahhh ok thx :] [03:04] sniggles: It is much faster, and generally less error prone. [03:04] sniggles and you can erase it from usb [03:04] im actually about a month into linuxing [03:04] I started with debian because its the "original" [03:04] but boy was that a fiasco [03:05] sicko: Please don't rant about a problem you seems to be the only one having. Try posting on ubuntuforums.org [03:05] and your XP is not removed. It's still there, just not detected [03:05] So in 12.04 I cannot get 2 displays working. It will not detect or display anything on the second display. I'm using up-to-date Nvidia drivers for my EVGA GeForce GTX 560Ti card, with one monitor using HDMI and the other using DVI. Suggestions?

It was not a lie, you simply encountered a problem which most do not...

Help is slower, but there might be more people there [03:08] Nevermind... turned out it was Nvidia software settings [03:10] sigh. [03:11] hey there. I'm trying to get ubuntu 12.04 working on a dell latitude d800. x.org just hangs on a grey screen, presumably because unity starts and never finishes. [03:11] Why do users feel not only entitled to the help I want to give, but licensed to abuse? It is disheartening. [03:11] I know very little about X.org and why it sometimes screws up. [03:12] L3top: yep. i tend to have little patience for that type these days [03:12] L3top, welcome to the Internet Sandbox. [03:13] to start, is there a log somewhere that I can look at, that might indicate the problem? [03:13] meiji11: can I please see the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA that is if you are able to hit a terminal [03:13] L3top: of course, one moment..

As to PPA that is not confirmed... just the normal position for them... give me a second [03:23] Alright, so does anyone here have experience with dual monitors and Nvidia cards in Ubuntu?

Thanks MonkeyDust [03:31] When researching my error, it seems like *every* single instance of it (and there are several) have gone unanswered [03:31] i tend to use the nvidia cards that have been out a while and are not 'cutting edge' so are more of a value/bang for the buck cards. so i rarely have issues with them [03:31] Except for one who said it was because nvidia-settings did not launch as root. [03:31] So I did so at the command line, but still no dice. [03:32] gksudo nvidia-settings ;) [03:32] meiji11: that all looks very normal. Can you please give me the output of apt-cache policy | grep -i candid [03:32] the default ubuntu setup/menu icons does run it as root i belive.

[03:43] Does anyone have experience with making USR OEM 2891 Internal modems work under 10.04? According to the readme I need to compile a kernel module for it, which fails horribly (many errors). [03:43] What I was trying to do was "apply" twinview settings after changing them in nvidia-servre. [03:44] lol... I still had it... your sources aren't the problem as near as I can tell meiji11... however... I do not understand what is calling that package, which does not exist in 1204... nor does that nvidia package exist in earlier repos... so... I am a bit mystified. [03:44] I just used the "save to xorg.conf" option and then restarted the X server. [03:44] what [03:44] what's this [03:44] L3top: I see. weird. [03:44] this [03:44] Well, it displayed blackness aside from a wonky purple bar atop the second monitor, so I rebooted the computer. [03:44] Lo and behold, I now have a working second monitor. [03:44] Weird. [03:47] meiji11: I don't really know how to advise you... apt-cache depends/rdepends does not reveal this as a pre-requisite nor a post-requisite. I need to push you to someone who understands this error... as it strikes me as wizardry... and I cannot fight wizards. They creep me out. [03:47] Hi. noob here. i have some questions about Java. which package should someone install to enable java? openJDK 6 or 7 (and/or Iced Tea web?) . what about Oracle(sun)Java? [03:47] hello bro [03:47] L3top: ok, thanks for your help. [03:48] omido: depends on your java needs. [03:49] !java | omido [03:49] omido: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [03:49] omido: sun (oracle now) java is no longer available in repos due to the awesome licensing because of the takeover... most things will run in OS java, but some will not. The long answer is to recommend you DL from Oracle... but there is a PPA with a deb package which makes it... much much easier. [03:49] hoho..... [03:50] wake up nero... [03:50] neo [03:50] the matrix has you [03:50] anonymous_: this is not a chat room. Do you have an ubuntu support queston? [03:50] L3top: the graphical login does come up.. it's unity that seems to hang. [03:51] jrdnn:urr... That said, it would bypass the permission config if I mount a filesystem to a folder which i have high priviledge ,even though that file was created and owned by someone in another linux system? [03:51] Is it generally recommended to have /boot on a non-LVM partition these days? [03:51] AndChat223345 That's how rescue CDs work [03:51] Or is Grub/etc fine with LVM? [03:51] meiji11: that is because it is 3d... which will be hideously broken if you are trying to use the current drivers on that hardware. I am very sorry, but you MUST use the nvidia 173 driver. [03:52] L3top: what if I drop down to unity 2d? [03:52] L3top: or some other window manager [03:52] meiji11: It will only be sometimes broken [03:52] Thankyou dr_willis and L3top can you please give me the link to ubuntu package of Oracle Java? I just moved from openSUSE to ubuntu and i was using the sun java in opensuse which was in their repos. also adobe reader was there but i cannot find in ubuntu [03:53] meiji11: You will be able to do almost ANYTHING you want on 173... you will not be able to do MOST of what you want on current. You are lucky to have basic graphics. [03:53] meiji11 whats your processor? [03:53] L3top: ok then. I'll make do with what I can get for now, I guess. [03:53] Jagst3r15: let me check. [03:54] jrdnn:Get it,thx. this is funny... [03:54] AndChat223345 You're welcome :) [03:54] meiji11: honestly... you should get to the bottom of what the conflict is. It should NOT exist. [03:55] L3top: actually why I started looking for drivers is because I'm getting better perf with my battery on windows almost 3 hours difference and I guess that's because ubuntu is always spinning my fan [03:55] omido: ppas are EXPLICITLY not supported... but http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.com/2012/05/install-oracle-java-7-in-xubuntu-1204.html should get you there. [03:55] L3top: right, I know. I'm hoping someone will fix the broken package and the problem will resolve itself. [03:55] !ppa | omido [03:55] omido: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

After executing some python commands, my terminal starts displaying "funky characters" when I try to type. I ctrl+d and I can begin typing letters again, but I cannot get back to my default command line. This is a repeating problem. Please advise. [03:56] omido, acroread is in partner repo now [03:56] mindbender1: there are issues... and.. some fixes... for battery issues. I am not a wealth of knowledge on the subject. [03:56] !partner | omido [03:56] omido: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [03:56] battlehands type exit hit enter and relogin that's what I do when my terminal is messed up sometimes [03:56] Has anyone here experienced that "cable unplugged" error for a wired network connection? [03:57] L3top: any directions will be taken well.. what do you suggest [03:57] !java | omido [03:57] omido: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [03:58] man, is this screwy. the cursor is arbitrarily flying into corners, without my touching the trackpad.. [03:58] jrdnn, I'm looking for a fix that doesnt require me to exit terminal [03:58] battlehands "clear" maybe? [03:59] Has anyone upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04? [03:59] battlehands: type `reset` [03:59] mindbender1: my suggestions are not particularly good or well receiived in this channel, and involve google. Please restate your battery issue again for the main channel, and I am sure someone more aware will address it. [03:59] should do the trick [03:59] MadeTheLeap: its possible. do yiu have a more specific question? [04:00] anyone awake? [04:00] ZZZzzz... [04:01] dr_willis: I did the 11.10 to 12.04 upgrade and my NIC stopped working. I got an error message "cable unplugged" error for a wired network connection. Any ideas how to fix it? [04:01] meiji11: You should expect all manner of chaotic behavior on that driver. your HW is EXPLICITLY not supported. They want a unified driver. Your HW cannot be made to work, so they produce a driver specifically for you. You need to work out the issue preventing you from installing it... not try to duct tape a driver KNOWN to be incompatable. [04:01] MadeTheLeap: nope.. other then say check the cable.. make sure the dog dident chew it. [04:02] dr_willis: Cable's totally fine. NIC is fine. It totally worked in 11.10 and during the upgrade. [04:02] MadeTheLeap: does your NIC have a light, is it on? [04:02] MadeTheLeap: check tghe forums and askubuntu.com also would be a good starting point [04:02] join #serpentstongue [04:02] If i were to add a windows installation alongside my ubuntu, how would I proceed? I'm scared I might just screw up grub if I pop the windows disc and install. Anyone know? [04:02] Thank you guys [04:03] dr_willis: I've spent the past week going through dozens of sites including posting my own question on Ubuntu, to no avail. [04:03] dorsk: learn to reinstall grub.. is a handy skill. ;) [04:03] !grub | dorsk [04:03] dorsk: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [04:03] I'm getting poor battery performance when compared to Windows and my fan is always on and loud. Not comparable to how the machine works on windows. How can I optimize the my battery performance and stop the constant loud noise of the fan. Help needed [04:03] dorsk: installing grub to the Mbr of a spare flash drive as a emergancy boot the system tool... is also usefull. [04:03] dorsk: There is a rescue CD out there (Linux based). It worked well for me. [04:04] will i need the rescue CD to access my ubuntu partition after having installed Windows? [04:04] dorsk: theres a live cd with the boot-repair tool also you can get (linked in the !fixgrub wiki page) thats handy [04:04] dorsk: install windows, fix grub.. boot to the grub menu like you normally do.. === debsan is now known as chino [04:05] rerun update-grub so the system sees/adds the windows install to the grub menu.. [04:05] alright === chino is now known as debsan [04:05] thanks for your help [04:05] I guess it's a good idea to create a NTFS partition beforehand? [04:06] as in, before running the windows installer [04:07] please. i'm in big trouble. someone help me. i wasn't doing anything and now ubuntu wont let me log into my account anymore. guest works fine but my account wont sign in. i can't boot into safe mode because it asks for a rot password and my root password doesn't work anymore. if only i could recover my files on my home dir. dude, i can't lose those files. please.. [04:07] will ubuntu tv be avaible on desktop in some fashion? [04:07] please, i'm begging.. [04:08] Jagst3r15, try #ubuntu-tv [04:08] ty sorry didnt know that was there [04:08] i wsn't doing anything. at first it would prompt me for a password and now my account just tries to login and theres a black screen for a second and then it just goes back to the login screen. [04:08] guest-Awrs3C, there is no root password [04:09] my account wont login. [04:09] hi, help me about app installation problem , here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060156/ [04:09] i've lost my files. [04:09] guest-Awrs3C: that sounds... sort of like... you done been rooted. If you cannot login under your root account. That is sort of... a bad sign. [04:09] my life is on this computer. [04:09] i trust ubuntu. [04:09] guest-Awrs3C, please stop with the enter key [04:09] is there a way to recover my files as guest? [04:10] should be doable with a live-cd as long as your home folder isnt encrypted, no? [04:10] i have ubuntu on a cd. do you mean like a fresh install? [04:11] guest-Awrs3C: ubuntu is not the culprit. Poor security practice is... You could likely chroot in from a live disk and create another admin account but... if root is gone... I would just login to live disk and transfer files off. [04:11] boot from live-cd, mount the drive and backup the files [04:11] should work, unless whoever has root access decided to encrypt your drive [04:12] I seem to be the only one experiencing this problem of battery performance and loud constant fan [04:12] ^ this [04:13] mindbender1: poor power management was a big issus in 11.10 - it got improved/fixed for a lot of machines in 12.04 - but theres problem machines out there. [04:13] mindbender1: there are SO many different issues... check acpi settings, and bios settings. For most 1204 has had greatly improved battery performance. [04:14] check the forums and askubuntu.com for your exact make/model machine. may be some known tweaks to get it working right or better [04:14] can i get a link to something to read? [04:15] hello, can u help me with software installation errors. [04:16] aithox, what version of ubuntu, installing what software and from where, what were the errors [04:17] 12.04 i'm trying to install php5 [04:17] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060156/ [04:17] aithox, whats the exact package name [04:17] php5 [04:17] !info php5 [04:17] php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.1 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 21 kB [04:17] aithox, and whats the error [04:19] bazhang: after doing sudo apt-get install php5 i got that error [04:19] as the links above [04:19] good morning [04:19] aithox, did you update your system prior to this [04:19] yeah i did.. [04:20] i can install everything.. except i have that errors [04:20] how can i clear that..? [04:20] aithox: sudo apt-get -f install php5 [04:20] any ideas what would cause a terminal freeze [04:21] aithox: can you try install libapache2-mod-php5filter ? [04:21] i can't figure out how to mount from a live disk and create a back up. all i need is one file. everything is in that file. all of my data is gone if i can't recover it. my box isn't rooted. first it froze and then terminal promoted asking me to input my password and it didn't work.then at first guest would work and i could change my password, it reconized it but i changed to auto login and now it just tries to login and goes [04:21] back to the login screen. [04:21] usr13: not fine.. [04:21] i'm not rooted. [04:22] guest-q70yHn: at the login screen,.. you can try to get to the console via alt-ctrl-f1 and see if you can login at the console.. [04:22] i have a problem with ubuntu ver.10.20 [04:22] if that works.. then its some odd issue with your X settings. [04:23] i can't. i can't even login to safe mode. [04:23] i tried to reset the password from safe mode. root password wont work. [04:23] guess you boot a live cd. mount the installed system, and access it as root from the live cd. [04:23] guest-q70yHn: What do you mean root password won't work? Did you enable the root account? [04:24] how do i do that as guest? [04:24] guest-q70yHn: How do you do what? [04:24] lucia whats the issue and whats the exact version? 10.20 is not a ubuntu version [04:24] enable root account? sudo su? [04:24] doesn't work. [04:24] guest-q70yHn: Use sudo [04:24] i had before. [04:24] the password doesn't work. [04:24] it is not ok i still have this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060156/ [04:24] live cd has no sudo password set. [04:25] Hi, I just installed inkscape in fresh machine, core i7, but If i do some operation inkscape takes 100% cpu [04:25] It is dangerous to change the non-exec status of a directory, correct? [04:26] i don't understand how this could have happened. [04:26] iHarp: if a directory is not executable you wont be able to view its contents, i belive... [04:26] guest-q70yHn: You are having a communication problem. [04:26] i have an ubuntu disk, is that what you mean by live disk? [04:26] guest-q70yHn: given what youve been going on about by root passwords and sudo su and stuff.. its hard for us to guess.. [04:26] guest-q70yHn: Yes live CD would be the standard Ubuntu install CD. [04:26] guest-q70yHn: boot the ubuntu cd.. come back to irc from it.. so we can try to help walkj you through it. [04:27] my inkscape takes 100% cpu [04:27] any solution? [04:27] dr_willis: Do you still modify that on fstab? [04:27] okay. so boot from the disk as if i'm trying it out? [04:27] guest-q70yHn: Yes [04:27] brb [04:27] iHarp: im not sure what you are doing... [04:28] trying to change my /tmp folder to nonexec. Apparently there is a security hole there from what I've been reading [04:29] iHarp: havent heard mention of it.. [04:29] iHarp: this a home pc/lan: or some web server work/business machine? [04:30] dr_willis: home [04:30] iHarp: then i doubt if its going to be an issue or worth the errort to change it. [04:31] Yeah, it's not high priority. I'm just researching and applying small details. if it's not worth it then I'll just avoid it [04:31] and setting a folders executable bit or unsetting it.. is differnt then mounting a device with the 'noexec' flag.... very differnt [04:34] well, thanks for the bit. Have a good night DR [04:35] this while linux thing looks like a joke to me attimes especially when you can't find documentation for something that's meant to be open source. I can assure you that if the progress of these so called core devs are documented somewhere so that the next generation can follow there will be much progress with ubuntu or linux as a whole [04:35] *whole [04:35] hello [04:35] everyone [04:36] open source = the souurce is there and open.. its the actual code thats the 'defacto' documentation.

[04:51] anyway i was hoping i could get some help [04:52] hi how can i remove software cache , and reinstall ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060156/ [04:52] hopefully you can take it easy on me, I've been wanting to switch for awhile and have finally taken the plunge but having some minor issues right off the bat [04:53] meaning switch from windows to linux [04:53] anyone here working on pad.ma? having some doubts [04:54] aithox: you mean clean the apt cache? apt-get clean, and apt-get auto remove, clear out the cache and removes unneeded packages. [04:54] oops.. apt-get autoremove [04:54] i have searched all over the web and cant seem to get this figured out, but i cant get the wireless to work on the laptop i just installed it on [04:54] aithox, sudo apt-get purge php5 [04:55] Stretch: it will depen on the exact chipset in the laptop. [04:55] gateway mx6450 [04:56] i plugged it into the router and internet works fine, then i did addictional drivers hoping it would fix the issue on its own but no luck [04:56] Stretch: best $8 i spent was on a usb wifi dongle that has full linux support out ofthe box. :) makes it easy to plug into a problem laptop so i can update/upgrade it. and hopefully use the addational-drivers tool to install any needed 3rd party wifi packages needed [04:57] Stretch: you did update/upgrade the whole system yet? the fact you can go wired - makes life a lot easier [04:57] im not even sure where to go to update/upgrade [04:57] and its the chipset of the wifi card thats the imporntant bit. :) not the actual make of the laptop [04:57] Stretch: via terminal 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' [04:57] I installed 12.04 on my laptop using a Wubi install...can I access the data files a saved while in Ubuntu from the Windows OS? [04:58] or use the software center [04:58] init[dot]d: sorry, i just checked it even it show that errors it is installed , i've apache working on my system, but how can i clear that errors message.? [04:58] siang [04:58] should i do both update and upgrade [04:58] aithox, you will have to remove php5 [04:58] Stretch: yes.. thats why i gave both commands. ;) [04:58] update - updates the LIST of packages to upgrade [04:58] how to install camfrog in ubuntu 12.04 [04:58] ??? [04:58] have you tried dpkg --reconfigure php5 [04:58] Hi. I have a few questions, but I don't want to be led on another wild goose chase (already had too many of those). Who are the official staff in this channel? [04:59] Kimura_, don't ask for official staff [04:59] Kimura_, noone is we are all volunteers [04:59] okay [04:59] thanks dr. i'm sure i will see you around, i will have to wait till tomorrow to do the update/upgrade [04:59] Kimura_, just ask the question [05:00] dr_willis, do you work with git [05:00] Nevermind. I've already dealt with too many "volunteers". Bye! [05:00] kbai [05:00] init[dot]d: nope. rarely need to git [05:00] sad panda [05:00] how to instal camfrog in ubuntu 12.04 ??? [05:00] theres always paid support... ;) === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [05:01] ikr [05:01] abe_, have you tried apt-cache search camfrog [05:01] !info camfrog [05:01] Package camfrog does not exist in precise [05:01] abe_: so assume no one knows what camfrog is... [05:02] if it has a homepage.. it should have some downloads, or install docs.. [05:02] #ubuntu-cn [05:02] hello all [05:03] hi === shishire_ is now known as shishire [05:06] I recently got a new laptop that came preinstalled with Windows 7...I installed Ubuntu inside Windows 7 using Wubi, letting me dual boot....then I went into Ubuntu, and copied a bunch of data files from the old computer's HD..I'm wondering if I can access any of that information when I boot to Windows instead of Ubuntu, and where I might find the folders? [05:08] Geoffrey2: wubi stores stuff in a special hard drive image file. Im not sure of any way windows can mount that file. perhaps with some of the ext3 exploreer tools out for windows. [05:09] the host windows drive IS accessable from wubi in some special location on the / of the system. [05:09] so you could boot the wubi install. and copy datga to the windows drive [05:11] dr_willis, ah, thanks, that'll probably work just as well.... [05:11] or just use ubuntone account to have stuff stored on the cloud [05:17] on removing php5 i got this errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060201/ how can i completely remove it. eg software cache..? [05:18] hi [05:18] how do I mount my ubuntu installation [05:18] because it installed but it won't mount the ubuntu partition [05:18] says it can't find it [05:19] so I can't boot ubuntu D: [05:19] SuperLag: bravo [05:19] oops [05:19] on the 11.10 install disk, how can I start a non graphical installer? [05:19] Hi :) [05:22] rinzler: the desktop cd does not have the text based insttaller. only the alternative installer cd does [05:23] dr_willis: Thanks! [05:24] is it easy to set up a ubuntu based network for a very small company, say 25 employees [05:24] i think in the next relase they are talkking about having both be on all the cds. but not looked at the 12.10 release yet. [05:24] shouldent be too hard SecretFire [05:24] depends on what work they are doing [05:24] SecretFire, very [05:25] there is different levels [05:25] dr_willis: that would be nice... [05:25] for example, the management have more privilidges [05:25] one router and 25 pcs :) .. take a a few hrs id guess.. setting up users.. may be harder depending on the details. [05:26] ok got it [05:26] thats what i thought it took [05:26] dozens of ways you could set things up.. its all in the details.. [05:26] ^^ [05:26] does it have to be a certain type of router [05:27] about any router should be able to handle just 25 pcs [05:27] ok [05:27] you will need a few hubs i imagine. :) unless they are wireless pcs [05:27] no they aren't [05:27] accer aspire's [05:27] saw a 32 port hub the other day for $5 at a rummage sale. ;p [05:28] hi [05:28] dr_willis : what does the hub do [05:28] <[deXter]> And here I am, throwing away a 32 port switch because I've no use for it.. [05:28] lets you plug in more pcs... [05:28] most routers for soho use have like 4 ports.. [05:29] each port to a 4 or higher port hub/switch to let you put more then 4 into the router. [05:30] imagen all people linvins on the peace [05:30] a single hub/switch with 16+ ports would make life easier. :) [05:30] i see [05:30] may be easie to just put wifi dongles/cards on the pcs :) [05:30] so for 25 pcs ideally i would need a 25+ hub [05:31] depends on the office layout. [05:31] cisco adapters? [05:31] 4,8,16,32 alays a even #. [05:31] I see [05:31] 2 x 16's would work. :) depends on the router [05:31] can you recommend one? [05:31] (router) [05:32] I only use the standard ones you get at Bestbuy or other stores... [05:32] it all depends on your needs and budget. [05:32] ok [05:32] do any of you guys know alot about partitioning? [05:33] LearnToTroll: ask a more specific question and see.. most of the people in here know about partioning drives [05:33] Gparted live cd. is the tool ii tend to use for such tasks [05:33] well i know nothing about partitioning and how to properly do it [05:34] like if i gave my system specs could someone give me a reasonable partition order [05:34] i read of the wikipedia page on disk partioning may be good starting point so you learn some of the terms. [05:34] and what type each 1 needs to be like with ext4 ext3 etc. [05:34] LearnToTroll: it depens on the task of the pc. and if you are dual booting. [05:34] anyone here working on pad.ma? having some doubts [05:35] seems brasero cannot import existing files, it thinks disk is closed? how can i check that for sure? i did not close it. [05:35] common layout. 4 primary partitions (windows) (linux /) (linux /home) (swap partition) [05:35] and what is pad.ma? [05:35] sahil__, how does that relate to ubuntu [05:35] Well, im doing gaming(runescape) and windows 7 got infected with tons of viruses so i just went ahead and made ubuntu my primary OS [05:36] <[deXter]> Congrats. :) [05:36] its an educational site that allows work on videos...not just watchin/uploading,but adding annotations with each frame,location etc... [05:36] obviously sahil_ is a bot or troll [05:36] sahil__, so no connection to ubuntu support then [05:36] and needs das boot [05:36] having some trouble with pandora_client [05:36] init[dot]d, thats uncalled for [05:36] no i am not ppl! === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [05:37] i did just go ahead and throw something together with my partitioning and i did my root(/) with about 50 gb, my swap with 7gb (since i have 3gb of ram) and the rest of the space went to my home/ [05:37] sahil__, so its a pandora issue [05:37] how does that partition setup sound to you guys? [05:37] seems brasero cannot import existing files, it thinks disk is closed? how can i check that for sure? i did not close it. you can suggest a free windows program [05:37] bazhang, I apologize I will stick to letting you be the one to insult others [05:38] init[dot]d, please stop. [05:38] LearnToTroll: 50gb for / is a bit large.. ive rarely managed to go more then 20gb with my / :) but /home is the big data hog normally [05:38] <[deXter]> LearnToTroll, 50 GB is too much for root, and so is a 7GB swap [05:38] client side programming is being done by us on ipython ,in ubuntu [05:38] yes bazhang [05:39] LearnToTroll: how big is the hard drive in total? [05:39] 320.1gb [05:39] i read somewhere online that your supposed to double up on your swap for how much RAM you have [05:39] is that true? [05:39] <[deXter]> LearnToTroll, that was the old traditional rule of thumb [05:39] so your / is a bit large.. 20gb would be fine. you may or may not need that much swap. but it wont hurt. [05:40] oh, that must be the rule for swap not RAM right? [05:40] cause arent they 2 different things? [05:40] <[deXter]> LearnToTroll, These days they recommend your swap size to be equal to or maybe 10% more than your RAM size [05:40] seems my problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/28044/why-is-it-not-possible-to-burn-a-multisession-dvd-using-brasero [05:40] swap = ram + a bit more - these days.. to allow you to use the Hibernate/suspend features.

[05:43] so brasero & ubuntu made a dvd of mine quite waste! if it cannot burn multisession dvds, it should then say about that with big letters ) [05:43] Sorry if im a bit noob, but can you dualboot 2 linux distributions? [05:44] LearnToTroll: you can.. but ive rarely had the need to do so. [05:44] Im kind of wanting to try out Mint Lisa [05:44] i wouldent bother with Mint.. [05:44] ahh [05:44] Isnt it for older computers? [05:44] no idea.. i dont bother with mint... [05:44] older pcs - i use Lubuntu [05:44] !lubuntu [05:44] lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [05:45] Cool. they all say my password is wrong. I think I know what I picked [05:45] I've got a pretty old windows computer with 120mb of RAM and its running Windows ME what do you recommend putting on that to make it semi-functional again [05:46] kalhmera :-) [05:46] lubuntu [05:46] LearnToTroll: with that little ram.. id just set it up as a console only/ssh box. ;) [05:46] or find moar ram [05:47] I'm sorry i have no idea what that is. Is that like only commands? [05:47] DOS? [05:47] haha [05:47] 120mb of ram.. is .. err.. tiny. [05:47] yeah i know [05:47] i havnt used it in years [05:47] Does anyone have experience dual-booting Windows and Ubuntu 12.04 on an EFI system? [05:47] LearnToTroll: does it have a network card? [05:48] No, it has to be hooked up with an ethernet [05:48] is that what makes it like a laptop where it can be connected wirelessly? [05:48] err... a network card.. is ethernet... [05:48] O [05:48] Sorry. [05:48] Yes it does haha. [05:48] that low end a box. id try, tinycorelinux,puppylinux, or perhaps lubuntu. [05:49] or some console only setup. [05:49] I've heard of some people using old computers like that with linux for a server [05:49] Well [05:49] Is that a good idea? [05:49] 120mb ram - it wont do much serving. [05:49] I dunno what kind of services you'd run on it [05:49] maybe DHCP [05:49] but definitely not routing or anything [05:49] I honestly don't know what a server does [05:50] and if you are lucky its a 100 speed network card [05:50] A server serves stuff [05:50] :P [05:50] Is it something that serves web pages? [05:50] It can, if it's a web server [05:50] LearnToTroll: i doubt if you have much of a need for that low end box then,. other then perhaps to let you ssh into your main box. [05:50] or it can serve IP addresses with DHCP [05:51] or host a VPN server for remote connections [05:51] SSH into my main computer? like an extra storage place tht is wireless? [05:51] and i can just move stuff there and get it from there when i need it? [05:51] I have biggeer machines then that.. in the garrage for this week ends rummage sale...

I tried the 1st and 2nd options. For both, the green light on the cd drive blinks for a while and then quits. I think it has something to do with my Nvidia card? [06:17] sniggles: 1st/second?

[06:18] yes both [06:18] BEAR44: ask an actual support question and see who responds. ;) [06:19] X is allreayd running whenit asks those questions.. so i dont thinkits an nvidia card issue.

[06:28] chamunks: do you evne know if the cams are supported by linux? [06:28] many web cams dont work at all in linux [06:28] dr_willis, apparently it does. [06:28] according to some searching [06:28] I wasnt born yesterday. === anonymous_ is now known as digitalrain [06:28] sorry [06:28] go with the one thats older and been out longer.. it should have better support [06:29] dr_willis, well im kind of privy to the concept of letting the cam do the encoding but if ubuntu just ignores it than its a clear choice. [06:29] i doubt if thats more then a marketing gimmic anyway.. [06:30] why does xinit start while startx goes to a black screen? [06:31] dr_willis, well the specs say it has an encoding chip in it. So its streaming it from the cam pre processed thats not much of a gimmic if ubuntu handles it correctly it should theoretically reduce alot of work post processing if doing video captures. [06:32] Could anyone point me in a direction forum wise where I could maybe post the question to get a more difinitive answer? [06:32] Most effectively. [06:33] the Video4Linux site/bords.. woul dbe my guess.. [06:33] chamunks what do you need help with [06:33] ranched, im looking to find out if theres a point in me looking to buy the logitech c920 over the c910 [06:34] ranched, my reasoning is the c920 has been stated to have a h264 encoding chip in the cam thus outsourcing the encodeing to the camera. [06:34] chamunks: We do not offer advice on purchasing electronics here. [06:35] ranched, The c910 does not. The issue is that if ubuntu cant / wont accept the stream from the camera like the windows variant of the logitech [06:35] bkerensa, i'm not asking about... if you dont know what youre talking about why are you talking. [06:35] chamunks: not of the chips in a device like that will come close to x264 from ffmpeg.

[06:38] ranched, fair enough so you figure the difference between pre processed and just letting my cpu do the lifting with ffmpeg is moot. [06:38] also, the glade menu bar doesn't integrate with the unity interface [06:38] chamunks: I do it that way. I have a few tuts on youtube about the subject [06:38] !justask | rymate1234 [06:38] rymate1234: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[06:39] id bet the video4lin stuff would take the h264 stuff and just turn it back in to whatever normal output is for video devices.. so would add more cpu load.. [06:39] I'll do it in one line [06:39] ranched, I was doing a bit of re encoding by the guidance from #ffmpeg I believe a few days ago. [06:39] bbl [06:40] I built a batch re-encoding bash script.

[07:51] dr-willis what commands to do [07:51] vampirnata: nope. you'll either have to plug it into a real mobo or cope [07:51] dr_willis: this is what auth.log is giving me.

[07:51] LenovoG470: use the addational-drivers tool to insgtall the drivers you want. reboot . see if they work.. if not you use the command line, or jockey-text fromthe command line to remove them.

[07:54] LenovoG470: totally depends on your chipset and the version of the drivers.. ive never needed to use the post-release ones [07:54] Hello is there a way to limit cpu usage of gwibber or python? [07:54] vampirnata: all the ones I've seen that let you plug your own drive into them were pretty simple. Apparently they've gotten better since the last time I bought one [07:55] Nerf_Jihad: ahh okay. I'm not too concerned but I was curious about the GPU temp. The board came with a very noisy little fan on the intel GPU. I removed it and put a decent 120mm fan on the outside of the case instead. The CPU temp went from 39degrees to 20degrees, so I hope the gpu temp also decreased :) [07:55] hey guys, anyone know the correct method to get microemacs(jasspa) up and running with 12.04 LTS? [07:55] dr_willis, any success stories, you heard. I am paranoia abt breaking it, sad. [07:56] LenovoG470: try the drivers and see.. or stick to the gpl drivers.. is about all i can say. [07:56] dr_willis thanks [07:56] i have exactly one ati box.. :) rest are nvidia. or intel. [07:56] Good morning all :) I have a q about logwatch. Everyday I get 404 entries in the httpd section. But it only shows part of the url, and not the IP that made the request for example. How can I find more information? [07:57] vampirnata: what's xsensors say? [07:58] Nerf_Jihad: don't have x, running cli. [07:58] then sensors [07:58] should i use startx or xinit? [07:58] only coretemp readings. core0 and core1 [07:58] however the motherboard tech specs say it has more. [07:59] running sensors-detect finds another module and loads it but doesn't display anything [07:59] acpi -tf says what?

[08:05] How I can check is this a DDOS attack ? [08:05] pentarex: are you running something like Drupal on that server? [08:05] hateball: yes [08:06] pentarex: Well it will spawn new apache processes by default, so you may just have a lot of visitors [08:07] hateball: and the load average is 200 + ? [08:07] that is not normal [08:07] might be a brute force attempt [08:08] pentarex: oh lol, I totally didnt even see the load :| [08:09] pentarex: is it a production server? [08:09] vampirnata: yes [08:09] pentarex: ahh, so you can't take it offline for testing? [08:09] from netstat i can see this guys has 188 connections 178.254.234.19 [08:10] it might be more than one guy [08:10] 1 ip doesn't mean it's one user [08:11] vampirnata: how I can disconnect this ip from the server ? [08:11] host.deny I think. not too familiar with apache [08:11] yes but this ip is from city that has 200 peoples population [08:11] Good morning all :) I have a q about logwatch. Everyday I get 404 entries in the httpd section. But it only shows part of the url, and not the IP that made the request for example. How can I find more information? [08:11] How do I run Google Earth on Ubuntu? make-googleearth-package returns an error. Please don't ask which one (because I won't answer). [08:12] pentarex: or you could add a rule on your hardware firewall. not sure if both of those require a restart [08:12] aetoxx: Well, that's not very helpful. [08:12] jpds, I said that, because it is a stupid question. [08:12] err no it's not [08:13] Yes, it is in this context. [08:13] How do you figure [08:13] vampirnata, because it has been in this state for months. [08:13] As such, anyone also using it will also have seen the same problem. [08:14] pentarex: Have you looked into this, may be a way of avoiding the problem https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fail2ban [08:14] aetoxx: if it's such a common problem, surely google will tell you how to fix it... [08:15] pentarex: look at the application DJones sent and the "badbot" plugin [08:15] vampirnata, it has been reported as bug already in ... 2011. [08:15] It appears nobody uses Ubuntu then. [08:16] aetoxx: are you being silly ? you're in a channel of 1400+ users [08:16] ikonia, hanging around in an IRC channel means it doesn't work. [08:16] Hi, I would like to install the oracle instant client on ubuntu, I could only find .rpm packages on their site [08:16] hmm.. googleearth-package seems to have installed for me just now..

[08:18] aetoxx: your attirude is why you're not getting anywhere... [08:19] should i use startx or xinit? [08:19] aetoxx: no-one said everything was working perfectly, you just said no-one used ubuntu [08:20] aetoxx: if you need help, just ask a question rather than spewing cryptic stuff [08:20] hateball: I think it is a ddos Attack, I tell this guys to find their own hosting I am not an administrator I am developer :D [08:20] nocturnal_: i tend to make a custome.xinitrc and use startx but it depend son your needs [08:20] dr_willis, and yet you didn't verify what I said. [08:20] pentarex: oh ok, well good luck then! [08:20] dr_willis, the package installs, but the package installs a package builder which doesn't work. [08:20] dr_willis: where do you put the xinitrc? [08:20] hateball: thank you :) [08:20] nocturnal_: .xinitrc goes in your home dir [08:20] nocturnal_: ~/ [08:21] dr_willis, if you are going to say something works, check that the right thing works. [08:21] looks like it built and installed here.. but i cant test- beause im sshed in. [08:21] i've been trying that and startx goes to a black screen and xinit works [08:21] nocturnal_: use xinit then? [08:22] kexwork: that's what i've been using, but i just am curious why startx won't [08:22] I will just use the official Google release, since clearly the Ubuntu packager didn't do his job. [08:22] nocturnal_: what are you trying to acomplish? [08:23] dr_willis: learning and trying to understand why startx wont run but xinit will [08:23] quit [08:23] nocturnal_: both are fancy scripts. you could read through them and see what they are doing i guess. [08:24] actually startx may be wanting a .xsession these days.. i recall linking my .xinitrc to .xsession ages ago for some reason [08:24] see that seems likely [08:25] i also recall seeing lightdm have a 'custom user session' on some machines. not sure what script that one used.

[08:30] I think i bookmarked the artical on http://delicious.com/dr_willis [08:30] dr_willis i have used it before fine with ubuntu with old versions, but just cant get it setup with lightdm etc, so are you telling me to use fedora then ? [08:37] VectorX: the review i saw was about ehe 'userful' hardware that was supposubly totally plug and play wuth fedora, they were working on ubuntu support. but i cant find the artical now. other then that.. ive not seen mutlseat mentioned in ages [08:37] lighdm does have specific options in its configs for multiseat. i recall seeing them in the lightdm config files.

[09:02] theadmin: /bin/false… [09:03] Twinkletoes: wicked.. [09:03] niklasfi: Well, duh -- it logs you out right after you log in pretty much. Change that to bash or something %) [09:04] niklasfi: If you just want to run a single command as that user, a simplier way may be "sudo -u username your_command args" === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [09:05] theadmin: yay! mpd works. it seems it did not work well with /bin/false [09:06] niklasfi: Hm, okay [09:07] I've enabled cairo-dock. why don't I have alt+tab now? can't I use both? [09:09] howdy [09:10] terminhell, hi [09:11] agoodm: just here to help, how you doin [09:11] im good thanks [09:11] how do i make cairo-dock auto-start only in lightdm (gnome-fallback) [09:12] gnome-session-properties fishbait [09:12] or "startup applications" [09:13] hmm i'm using kde so if i disable a startup application it only disables it in that gui? === railsraider__ is now known as railsraider [09:13] why is the option "Add a printer" grayed out? [09:14] user permissions Kartagis [09:14] fishbait: not sure, dont have much kde experience [09:14] Kartagis: is there a little padlock icon or an "unlock" button? [09:15] terminhell: no [09:15] in genreal does disabling an startup application only disable it for that specific gui? [09:15] is there any light mail client for ubuntu? not evolution, not mutt, not thunderbird (it's buggy) [09:15] fishbait: it depends on how your starting a particular gui and what that application depends on to run [09:15] dyd: just curious: how is TB buggy? [09:15] dyd: sendmail? [09:15] i select it from log in screen [09:16] fidel, create account button greyed out [09:16] fidel, seems funny but couldn't make it work, and i don't want to waste my day finding the solution [09:16] dyd: user permissions? [09:16] this is stupid with a S [09:16] dyd: afaik that isnt a button but a dropdown-list of actions [09:16] inside: account settings [09:17] http://www.google.it/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=thunderbird+create+account+button+greyed+out&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest [09:17] fidel, i'm talking about the last version [09:17] Kartagis: get back with me in about 4 hrs when im at home and i will check ccsm and compiz and that dock to see if alt-tab works for me.. coul dbe you just need to enable it/map it in the ccsm tool.. [09:18] dyd: whatever last version means for you. strange - but ok [09:18] good luck [09:18] dyd: since you're apparently already using opera, have you tried using its e-mail client as well? i quite like it. === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [09:18] dr_willis: now, there's no option to authenticate so that I can add a user [09:18] brb [09:18] Ijust do 'sudo adduser username' ;) [09:19] brb.. got a job to do.. [09:19] fidel, last version = 3.1.3 [09:20] dyd: last TB is 13.0.1 [09:20] fidel, Lightning 1.0b2 (Thunderbird 3.1.x) [09:20] Kartagis: do you have a .xinit in your home? [09:20] fidel, that b2 stands for beta? good to know lol [09:21] dyd: thunderbird itself is at v13 still [09:21] i just used apt-get install thunderbird [09:21] so why are you using 3.x? [09:21] it seems to install automatically that version [09:21] lightning 1.5.1 here [09:21] just to give you some other version-strings ;) [09:22] ok let's try again [09:22] mozilla tries to keep TB at same version then Firefox - so its around 13 right now [09:22] dyd: you might start with: apt-cache policy thunderbird [09:22] and tell us your distri version [09:22] hey, I have a driver problem... [09:23] I use a wireless mouse and keyboard. [09:23] but I cant get them to work, as i cant install a driver, because I have the disks, but I dont know how [09:24] fidel, http://pastebin.com/z7B2SENV [09:24] good luck with that Sparky1, you'll probably need some specific libraries for them, and full functionality may or may not be there [09:25] I also cannot get my proper wireless adapter to install [09:25] what platform are you on? [09:26] currently, to talk, I am using windows. im having trouble getting it to work with the Ubuntu 12.04 OS [09:26] i meant hardware [09:27] in short, id goolge your hardware + "ubuntu" [09:27] funny, lightdm doesn't let me authenticate at all so that I can add a printer [09:27] a wireless mouse and keyboard shouldent need any special drivers - unless they are bouetooth. or to just enable special features [09:27] dont use lightdm Kartagis ? [09:28] lightdm wont let you login? [09:28] or what does it do exactly [09:28] dr_willis: how else would you have a wireless keyboard/mouse? [09:28] dr_willis: there's no padlock or whatnot to authenticate myself [09:29] hardware... motherboard is fine. AMD athlon 64, Nvidia geforce 6800 graphics card, I use an Asus 802.11b/g network adapter.. [09:29] terminhell: all the wireless keyboard/mice ive ever had are usb compatiable- and never needed any exta drivers. they even worked in DOS ;) [09:29] Kartagis: i think you said 'lightdm' when you ment somthing else... [09:29] Kartagis: does your wireless adapter show up in lspci? [09:30] terminhell: I wonder if I am saying it right, I'm talking about the cairo-dock stuff in the list when loginning [09:30] and willis, oddly enough mine dont. logitech setpoint, with a little wireless reciever [09:30] terminhell: I'm on a desktop, hence no wireless [09:30] Kartagis: kde should have a startup applications equivilant [09:30] Sparky1: my wireless mouse/keyboard even work in the bios. logitech with the universial mini dongle [09:31] yup, willis. my keyboard works in the bios... but not in ubuntu!! >.< [09:31] bluetooth never works (inbuilt in laptop) please help [09:32] What exactly is the advantage of using UUIDs over partition names? [09:32] partition names can change.. uuids shouldent change [09:32] !uuid [09:32] 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) [09:32] slave/master drives, raid, advanced partitioning uni4dfx [09:32] strange, whenever i resize a partition it gets a new UUID [09:33] while the name stays the same [09:33] as it should [09:33] uuid's are like mac addresses [09:33] name = label you mean.. You can change the uuid if you want. and it depends on how you resize the filesystem. [09:34] tune2fs commmand can change the label, and uuid,. and other special settings [09:34] when i click Turn On Bluetooth on the panel, it says bluetooth is on, but when i go to bluetooth settings bluetooth button is off and it never starts, i mean i cannot set it to ON. [09:34] dyd: so you got v12 now ...first step [09:34] guess ubuntu 11.04 doesnt offers TBv13 right? [09:34] neo1691: maybe your user isnt set in the bluetooth group? [09:34] terminhell I mean name = /dev/sdXY [09:35] terminhell, I am the only user, still i will check [09:35] uni4dfx: those can definatly change... [09:35] uni4dfx: ive seen mbs that make whatgever hd youy boot becaome 'sda' befor which was really... confuseing [09:35] I am the administrator, [09:35] Guys, how to get sources of some applications without administrator's password? [09:36] dr_willis that's a good point, i can see how UUIDs could come in handy in this case [09:36] neo1691: run 'groups' first, then maybe cat /etc/group |cut -d: -f1 [09:36] loparczew: how is getting source of specific apps related with having root-privileges at all? [09:37] uni4dfx: add in usb devices which jump around.. you can also mount based on Filesystem Label - which is kind of nifty. [09:37] locate the projects version-management and check out the source you are looking for [09:38] loparczew: you can use sudo ithink too get root [09:38] i thought the apt-get system had a way to download the source package to the current directgory. but if the -src repos are not enabled.. that may not work [09:39] yep [09:39] loparczew: something like supo apt-get install whatever [09:39] loparczew: something like sudo apt-get install whatever [09:39] afaik: apt-get source PACKAGENAME [09:39] terminhell, after running groups i get this adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare bumblebee jupiter [09:40] loparczew: but if you cant use apt - just use the web & cli to checkout whatever project - as long as the repo is public [09:40] on macs with efi booting: These can't run ubuntu, without hax, right? [09:41] kanliot: You'll need the EFI version of Grub... But I think that's about it [09:41] kanliot: not sure what you mean - in the past the 'hack' was using refit to have some kind of useable boot-manager afterwards [09:41] is 'refit' a hack? :) [09:41] !info refit [09:41] refit (source: refit): graphical boot menu for ia32 and x64 EFI systems. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.14-2ubuntu1 (precise), package size 445 kB, installed size 1172 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; kfreebsd-amd64) [09:41] its software ;) [09:41] neo1691: hmm, not sure, seems like your missing something ya need then, id run an apt-cache search bluetooth for something [09:42] Thanks. [09:43] thanks for help, i guess i need a mac to understand mac booting [09:43] kanliot: try asking in ##mac [09:43] or BSD kanliot haha [09:43] makes me wonder why they made the booting so complex on them. ;) [09:43] terminhell, there is a big list with everything that matches to bluetooth, but i see one gnome-bluetooth [09:43] kanliot: Simply install the grub-efi package and you should be good to go (I think. Might need to re-run grub-install -- I'm not sure about how well Ubuntu automates this.) [09:44] kanliot: the mac channel has at least 2-3 technical users which should know efi and the booting scenario quite well - or consider searching for hackintosh - which is the area where ppl discuss macs & booting etc as well [09:44] neo1691: go for it? at te very worst you end up uninstalling it [09:44] !bluetooth [09:44] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [09:45] i just need to know what it involves, when I try and get mac people to use ubuntu [09:45] terminhell, i am actually using unity.. dr_willis !buethooth?? [09:45] mac people normally use macs because of the mac apps they cant live without. ;) [09:45] kanliot: Mac people are Mac people. You can't get them to use *anything* [09:45] kanliot: my personal hint: in case someone gets apple HW - use the apple SW as well. everything else is a big mess ...at least in details [09:46] kanliot: spending time and effort to make them using something else is more or less wasting time - nor will it easily work [09:47] l8r all [09:47] kanliot: best way offering them an easy first look & feel into linux is running some kind of virtual machine inside osx. This reduces the install/setup husstle as well - as you dont need to mess with efi, partitions etc [09:48] virtualbox, vmware fusion or parallels should all do the vm-job quite well. Have fun [09:48] fidel: have u tried using a mac with retina display w/ ubuntu? [09:49] dingz: i dont buy macs nomore [09:49] the mac people [tm] tell me it doesn't work [09:49] but i want to find out once it gets here [09:49] fidel: ok alright [09:49] dingz: well you'll easily find articles talking about retina and the effects it will have on linux-setups [09:50] it least i've seen one those days the last retina device was published [09:50] I installed both nome-bluetooth and bluetooth, no success [09:51] dingz: a first starting point maybe: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/06/what-does-ubuntu-look-like-on-a-retina-display-bad [09:51] * dingz clicks and reads [09:54] hehe, looks small [09:54] but i'm sure someone will fix it [09:55] Twinkletoes: you still there? [09:55] Kingsy: Yup === mysticity is now known as Mysticity [09:57] Twinkletoes: I installed that vpn package you mentioned + build-utils but when I start the application it says "Error: you don't have build-utils installed" why would that be ? [09:58] Kingsy: Please join #openvpn-as [09:58] Kingsy: I'll help you there [09:59] ssh-1 vs ssh-2 key?? ssh-1 key is alot more encrypted thats why I choose it but now when I read I wonder if it gives more security, any inputs? [10:01] anyone got any tip on good data transformation software for 12.04? [10:01] ivosq what kind of data? [10:02] .csv, json, xml [10:03] ivosq start from the beginning, what do you want to do, what have you done and tried before you came here === adante_ is now known as adante [10:03] ivosq, maybe talend? [10:03] hola,estoy el en menu de instalacion de ubuntu y cuando escojo el usb como disco a usar me dice No se definió un sistema de ficheros raíz Por favor, corrija esto en el menú de particionado. [10:03] !es [10:03] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [10:04] no no no, ubuntu no here [10:04] mr. ubuntu no here [10:05] jolle: ssh is a protocol, not a hash-algorithm. You sure, we are not talking about sha-1 / sha-2 ? Also, how do you come to the conclusion that version 1 is "more encrypted" ? [10:05] * dr_willis rot13's his key.. is it even moar encrypted now? [10:06] im working with made up medical data that different companies provide. I extract the different data from different servers but I get the data in xml, json and csv. Im just wondering if there is a software that can manipulate and transform between these 3 [10:06] otherwise i might just code a parser in python using SAX [10:07] by transform.. you mean convert. [10:07] oh yeah sry [10:07] convert* [10:07] ivosq: Do that -- there's no big problem with writing a little script/program to convert between plain formats like those [10:07] python, perl, sed, awk, ;) [10:07] Ok I will :) [10:08] thanks! [10:08] hello, I chowned a file, but I still get permission denied when trying to cat it. what am I doing wrong? [10:08] why does virtualbox-guest-additions depend on virtualbox-qt [10:08] peni_: ls -l thefile whats its full permissions [10:08] peni_: What's the actual mode of that file? [10:09] it seems a bit mad wanting the vbox guest additions I have to have the actual VM [10:09] theadmin: dunno what mode is, but it's one of those weird files in /sys/kernel/ [10:09] peni_: ls -l thefile and show us.. [10:10] peni_: yeah don't mess about with that [10:10] peni_: Ah, sysfs... It's special, don't mess with that unless you're sure what you're doing... I think only root has access to that anyway [10:10] and what are you trying to do wwith the file? [10:10] I get 'load detected on head A' in dmesg and also my resolution is wrong and I can't force it into the right one- any clue where the 'load detected' comes from? [10:10] dr_willis: -rwxr-xr-x 1 peni root 0 etc. [10:11] the files name is 'etc.' ? [10:11] peni_: what's the filename and path [10:12] /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch (sorry, failing to copy from terminal) [10:12] if you want to alter the contents of the file. you should be using sudo to do so. not trying to change its ownership. [10:13] which will get reset on the next reboot anyway [10:13] dr_willis: I know, I chown it in rc.local, but why doesn't it work? [10:15] i would bet its somthing to do with it being part of /sys/ but lets ask why you are trying to change it.. and do what with it exacatgly? [10:16] If my goal is to get logs when systems crash, can I use a regular TCP/UDP syslog server, or do I need to use a serial console logger? [10:17] Is it a known bug, that user-interface of unity behaves non-deterministic? [10:17] dr_willis: well, not really relevant, but since you ask, I downloaded a script to change the active gfx card, and it requires reading from and writing to this file... [10:17] e.g.: If i press the super key an odd number of times the dash doesn't show up necessarily [10:18] so if you run the script with sudo. or run it as root from rc.local it shouldhave access [10:18] gotta run.. quitting time.. [10:18] dr_willis: yeah, I know but it needs to be run as user for some parts of the script [10:22] graingert_ufo: virtualbox-guest-additions-iso depends on virtualbox which depends on virtualbox-qt. [10:22] graingert_ufo: However, since the guest additions are nothing but a plain ISO file, you can easily grab the .deb from packages.ubuntu.com and extract it. [10:23] how do I make sure ubuntu always boots in verbose mode? [10:23] and shuts down in verbose mode? [10:23] theadmin: why does the iso dep on vbox-qt? [10:23] ross: grub config [10:23] and how do I get rid of that horrible pink screen before [10:23] right [10:23] graingert_ufo: Because it depends on virtualbox, but that's just packaging problems. Contact the package mantainers I guess [10:23] I'll get the file open [10:24] hey [10:24] which version of photoshop work best on ubuntu [10:24] where the hell is grub config [10:24] hellyeah: Photoshop is a Windows problem. [10:24] is it /etc? [10:25] lol probably /boot [10:25] ross: /etc/grub.d/ and /etc/default/grub [10:25] theadmin: [10:26] i saw a lot of link about working photoshop on ubuntu [10:26] hellyeah: You can check #winehq, http://winehq.org and such for running the Windows apps on Linux. However, it's not something that's supported in this channel. [10:26] ross: don't forget "updage-grub" after editing those files [10:27] *update-grub [10:28] !appdb| hellyeah [10:28] hellyeah: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [10:28] whats a graphical terminal?

[11:19] elky doing apt-get update i get those errors [11:19] thats the problem [11:19] Hello [11:19] ASL PLZ [11:19] notze, put your /etc/apt/sources.list into pastebin [11:19] !paste [11:19] 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. [11:20] If I wanted to change my nvidia driver to the proprietary one - which one would I have to take(I have got geforce2 MX) [11:21] morri, what ones does Additional Drivers give you the choice of? [11:23] hm I only had a look at the website of nvidia so far- do I need to install some GUI first? [11:24] ariyan_ [11:25] morri, no. You need to go to the dash and type Additional Drivers and you should get an icon that looks like a pci card and a lock [11:26] ok it is starting [11:26] it might take a while to load, it has to check lots of information [11:27] okay it says no proprietary drovers are in use on this system [11:28] does it show any choices you can use? [11:28] no [11:28] There might not be anything available for your card then. [11:29] Whats up? [11:30] morri, is there a specific problem you're wanting the proprietary driver to solve? [11:30] yes [11:30] I posted it earlier [11:31] So, I'm getting hard freezes randomly it seems now, anyone care to see if they can help? [11:31] morri, can you repeat it now for me, i can't find it [11:31] * rymate1234 is making a ubuntu notes app [11:31] right must have been in the other channel- ok I have got a resolution problem [11:31] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2010849 [11:32] elky: deb http://security.ubuntu.com 404 not found ip:91.189.92.151 80 [11:33] for some reason- the pc doesnt get the right resolution anymore and every time i do something with resolution it has this "Load detected on head A" message [11:34] Anyone wanna help me with some hard freezes? [11:35] !ask > Conradzz [11:35] Conradzz, please see my private message [11:35] !details > Conradzz [11:36] I've got a Asus netbook, that I've tried to get running at least somewhat stable, but it seems it just wants to freeze [11:36] I installed ubuntu 12.04 on it to begin with, and updated completely, then I would get hard freezes within a few seconds of hitting the login screen [11:37] so I uninstalled it, reinstalled, and chose not to install any updates, and it ran fine for a while [11:37] until one day, out of the blue it started freezing on me again at login [11:37] so I decided to update and upgrade the system, that got it working for about a few hours, then it started randomly freezing [11:38] I've tried proprietary drivers, and non-proprietary [11:38] Conradzz: Did you try to change to Ubuntu 2D or Gnome on the login screen? [11:39] heres one thing, at the moment, I can login, open up firefox, and go to youtube, watch a movie for a few seconds and then it hard freezes on me [11:39] and no I didn't not try that maedox [11:39] how do you define hardfreeze Conradzz? [11:39] notze, what version are you trying to get updates for? [11:40] hard, as in nothing happens, no caps lock key blinking, no cursor moving [11:40] Conradzz: can you i.e. ssh in at that moment? [11:40] hey, I need some help getting blender to run [11:40] honestly fidel, I would have no idea how to do that, I'm still fairly new to linux [11:40] so I'm using ubuntu studio 12.04, it comes with blender 2.62, that runs just fine [11:40] but I just downloaded and extracted the linux version of blender 2.63 from the official blender site [11:41] I can't get it to run [11:41] any idea elky? [11:41] I went to the directory in terminal and typed blender into console, I just get 2.62 launching [11:41] IronIron: personaly i would stick to SW coming via apt or ppa (in case you trust it) [11:41] morri, no sorry. your card is very old :-/ [11:41] manually installing software sounds like the beginning of the end [11:41] it's from the official blender.org site [11:41] IronIron: "blender" will refer to blender in your $PATH. Try "./blender" or "/path/to/directory/blender" instead. [11:41] okay, so how do I change that? [11:42] my pc 10 years old.. [11:42] IronIron: Change what? [11:42] so, I just loaded up by clicking Ubuntu 2d, opened firefox went to a youtube video, dragged the play bar, and it froze again [11:42] or at least get blender 2.63 launching [11:42] I want to launch blender 2.63 [11:42] IronIron: Well I just pointed out how to launch what you downloaded :/ [11:42] hmm, didn't see the ./ [11:42] I shall try that [11:43] permission denied [11:43] morri: I used to have a geforce2 card, I've not used it for a few years, from memory I stopped using it because it was no longer supported in the official nvidia drivers, it would only work with vesa or the nouveau driver, but with both of those, I could get 1600*1200 resolutions, just no special effects [11:43] Conradzz: does it still freeze if you don't use flash in a web browser? e.g. normal browsing, or you could test HTML5 on youtube by at youtube.com/html5 [11:43] IronIron: That's odd... Let me try it here [11:44] http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/ [11:44] that's where i got it from, I got 2.63 64 bit for linux [11:44] I'll give it a go maedox, I have tried html5 on this netbook before and its basically unwatchable [11:44] i don't need no special effects and it used to work perfectly till now when it starts acting up [11:45] morri try ubuntu classic (fallback), no whistles and bells [11:45] Conradzz: doesn't matter, if it works, flash might be the culprit. [11:45] I am on lubuntu actually *cough* [11:45] Can I use the proposed source whithout dangers ? [11:45] Hi! [11:45] Hi ! [11:45] remontees: no [11:46] HI！ [11:46] Why LjL ? [11:46] remontees: proposed is for testers, may easily break [11:46] the PPA are more stables ? [11:46] just opened up firefox maedox, and it froze before the page even loaded [11:46] Hi! [11:46] IronIron: That version works great here. [11:46] remontees: PPA stability varies widely, since they're all made by different people [11:46] howd you launch it? [11:46] when opening in libraoffice print preview it exits why? [11:46] maybe it's the folder I put it in [11:46] hello [11:46] Because I'm using Firefox Beta (I've register the PPA), and it works great [11:46] I put it on a separate hard drive [11:47] and you're sure it's not just launching 2.62 instead of the 2.63 [11:47] But the packages in proposed are all stables but not securised for Ubuntu ? [11:47] who would know how to remove a ssh key from ubuntu and if i do will it still connect ok? [11:47] IronIron: Just extracted the archive with "tar xf blender-blah-blah.tar.bz2", then "cd blender-blah-blah" and "./blender" [11:47] this time I didn't get past the login screen of ubuntu maedox [11:47] hmm, I shall try again [11:48] IronIron, apt-get install blender [11:48] nar, I need 2.63 [11:48] i will get a backup with clonezilla of my ext4 ubuntu 12.04 parttition. it is possible to get this backup to work on another computer (with bigger partittion)? [11:48] Conradzz: does ctrl+alt+f1 work? [11:48] remontees: the program version may be considered stable, but the package itself might break. you probably don't want to end up with a non-working APT [11:48] the only version on the repository is 2.62 as far as IU know [11:48] one thing I have noticed, sometimes ubuntu loads weird, for instance most times I get a clean looking ubuntu logo with dots turning orange [11:48] bash: ./blender: Permission denied [11:49] LjL, it's sure : but it's so dangerous ???? [11:49] sometimes it tells me cryptswap isn't ready or loaded yet [11:49] IronIron: as mentioned before ...there are ppa's for blender === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [11:49] remontees: if it weren't dangerous, they wouldn't be in a separate repository for testers, don't you think? [11:49] ppas? [11:49] !ppa > IronIron [11:49] IronIron, please see my private message [11:49] no maedox I can't hit Ctrl + Alt + F1 [11:50] LjL, I want to use Debian Wheezy [11:50] Formatted my ipod to ext4 and df -h tells me 551M in use :/ [11:50] because Ubuntu is not up to date [11:50] Firefox beta is very good [11:50] Conradzz: messages about crypt doesn't necessarily mean anything, just that it's not finished preparing it for mount. Slow computer perhaps... [11:50] well isn't that what this is? [11:50] ya its a netbook maedox [11:50] And Ubuntu has packages that I don't use [11:50] remontees: so remove them? [11:50] can i uninstall xterm or xdiagnose ??? [11:50] Conradzz: OK, do you have a live CD or USB stick you can try? See if the same happens with that. [11:51] remontees: you probably can. try, and before you hit "Yes", look at what else is going to be removed with them. [11:51] Not sure how, but we need to see some logs like /var/log/syslog and dmesg|tail to make any sense of it. [11:51] Uh LjL ??? [11:51] I can't understand... [11:51] Conradzz: Might be failing hardware. Hard to say with no error messages to go on. [11:51] i will get a backup with clonezilla of my ext4 ubuntu 12.04 parttition. it is possible to get this backup to work on another computer (with bigger partittion)? ıf i boot Ubuntu, it will open properly? [11:52] remontees: apt-get will tell you what packages will be removed when you try to remove a package. if it says only xterm (for example) will be removed, it's ok, if it says many packages will be removed, it's not ok [11:52] its a fairly brand new computer maedox [11:52] Conradzz: Do you have another computer you can use to SSH into the netbook? [11:52] apt-get tell me none ! [11:52] sorry, I'm french, and I try do speak with a good english [11:52] I don't know how to ssh I'm still fairly new to all this maedox [11:53] ok, but you do have another device you can use? [11:53] remontees: i've just tried removing xterm; it's fine, it only removes xterm. [11:53] I have a windows pc, ya I'm on it right now [11:53] nar I just keep getting permission denied [11:53] But xdiagnose ???? [11:53] remontees: if it says: "The following packages will be REMOVED: xterm" then it's good. if it says: "The following packages will be REMOVED: xterm anotherpackage thirdpackage manymorepackages" it's not good [11:53] What are this packages ??? [11:54] apt-get install openssh-server on the netbook, then download putty on the windows and use that to connect [11:54] just tried my usb with Ubuntu on it, and it froze on the logo page [11:54] remontees: xdiagnose is a program to help you if X stops working. you probably want to keep it. [11:54] And an other thing strange : when I try to install Kdenlive, Ubuntu wants me to install KDE !!!! [11:54] well obviously, I have permissions problems with terminal [11:54] LjL, yes, but why this program is in the menu principal ? === Jikan is now known as Jikai [11:55] how do i fix it? [11:55] remontees: are you sure it doesn't just want you to install the KDE *libraries*? [11:55] I'll give it a try maedox, to be honest I'm about to the point of just tossing linux to the side, I've wanted to learn it quite a bit, but it just seems theres always problems [11:55] kde common... [11:55] i will get a backup with clonezilla of my ext4 ubuntu 12.04 parttition. it is possible to get this backup to work on another computer (with bigger partittion)? ıf i boot Ubuntu, it will open properly? [11:56] ismail_213213: clonezilla just heavily dislikes smaller target-partitionsd [11:56] remontees: it's normal for KDE programs to need a whole lot of KDE libraries [11:56] having bigger targets shouldnt be an issue [11:56] Conradzz: Usually there might be small issues, but normally easy to fix. It seems you have been very unlucky. Freezes like that are very uncommon. [11:56] ya, I've been in this chat probably 3-4 times in the past 6 months, everyone tells me its my fault in the end [11:57] Conradzz: If you get in the netbook via putty, you should tail -f /var/log/syslog and see if it writes something useful. [11:57] you won't see anything [11:57] as if it's freezing it won't be able to write [11:57] fidel: ok i know. but i don't know if ubuntu 12 will start properly because it will be on another machine. driver problems etc... ?! [11:57] installing openssh on the netbook now [11:58] ikonia: we might get lucky and get something useful. Worth a shot. [11:58] maedox: why ? [11:58] netbook froze trying to install it [11:58] when I go to packages.debian, Kdenlive don't require kde-common !!! [11:58] maedox: if it's locking there is no capability to write [11:58] remontees: Debian packages are different and are called differently. [11:59] would it work if I boot into recovery, drop into root, mount the disk, enable wifi, then install openssh? [11:59] ikonia: so what do you suggest? [11:59] theadmin, it's a reason that I want to use Debian Testing [11:59] maedox: following through the install process, looking for errors, verifying hardware compatability, verifying hardware stability, numerous choices to follow [11:59] remontees: Kdenlive will still want KDE libs, be it called "kde-common", or something else. [12:01] theadmin, the last time I've installed Kdenlive, I was able to use KDE. === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [12:01] remontees: Okay, I don't see how that's a problem? [12:02] I don't want to have KDE environnement !!! [12:02] remontees: Why not? [12:02] remontees: You don't have to use it. [12:02] because I don't want [12:02] It's fat on my disk [12:03] 100 GO de HDD === b_ is now known as brontosaurusrex [12:11] remontees: well ask yourself then what is more important - using an app which might depend on something big - or not using it and having more free disk space [12:13] fidel, it's sure :) === mrmist_ is now known as mrmist [12:16] hi guys, in 12.04, where can i find stuff like /dev/.udev/block/db/block/sda to get information like ID_SERIAL and infos about the block device? i found /sys/block/sda/foobar but i couldnt find something with the devices exact name and serial number and so on, where can i look for that? [12:20] bluenemo_: cat /proc/scsi/scsi [12:20] it might be elsewhere, also try lshw [12:20] ok maedox, I've ssh'd into the netbook === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [12:22] alankila, i need the plain file (cant use a tool), thx for the proc hint, also not as much as i was hoping for in it :/ [12:22] anyone think they can help me with hardfreezes on my ubuntu 12.04 install [12:22] whatever. It's almost definitely there in /sys [12:22] but IDK where [12:22] it seems to be freezing randomly now [12:22] i thought so :) [12:23] i was wondering when you have a server with say 6 drives in it, and you load the server, is the space contiguous or is it broken up in partitions or what happens with it? can you make it one continuous drive with all drives being added like lego things? understand my question? [12:23] sambagirl: depends, you set it up how you want [12:23] sambagirl: technically possible, by default all separate [12:24] hi, can i found some shutdown logs ? my machine just shutdown and i have no idea why [12:24] sambagirl: you might want to look into RAID0, RAID5 or RAID6 to understand some common technologies of fusing collection of drives into a larger whole [12:24] alakila is the software intelligent to know that data is stored on different drives? [12:24] sambagirl: I pre-empted your question. Study the RAID modes a bit. [12:25] ok thanks alankila i guess i am forced to investigate this mysterious raid business. [12:25] * MonkeyDust was thinking about raid, too === morrii is now known as morri [12:25] what about lvm? [12:25] i asked the question in centos just out of curiosity [12:26] lvm, or device-mapper, is one way to allocate space from collection of physical drives also. === Zorro is now known as Gurty [12:26] I suppose most serious people use lvm (dm) and raid (md) together, although I have avoided using lvm so far [12:27] exit [12:29] hi [12:29] time to go [12:29] hello? [12:29] can anyone help with wiping a HDD/ [12:30] spicaaay: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda [12:30] put into terminal? [12:30] spicaaay: hold on a moment. What is the purpose of the wipe? [12:30] spicaaay: Yes. But you need to do it from a livecd or something -- definetly NOT from an installed system. [12:30] wanting to install win7 [12:31] spicaaay: If you want to install another OS, you can just use this OS' installer to wipe everything. [12:31] spicaaay: you don't need to "wipe". All you do is plop in the windows install media and remove partitions and let windows install on the unpartitioned space [12:31] spicaaay: Windows 7 is not an exception. [12:31] how would I uninstall my current graphics driver via terminal? [12:31] Conradzz: That depends on what the driver is to be honest. [12:31] when i put the cd in and select boot from cd, it doesnt do anything [12:32] I'm not 100% sure, I just want to get this working, its gotta be the graphics driver [12:32] Conradzz: What's your problem? [12:32] spicaaay: not even write the "press enter to boot from cd/dvd" message? [12:32] hard freezes when I try and log in ubuntu [12:32] I used to use Webmin but I uninstalled it now because It caused me alot of problems and a few gents here in #ubuntu said that it was incompatible with ubuntu 12.04 so I was thinking about trying Zentyal. Is it worth it? [12:32] Conradzz: Oh that. === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n [12:33] yup [12:33] i pressed f10 i think (boot menu) and selected boot from cd/dvd [12:33] jolle type !zentyal [12:33] !zentyal [12:33] zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). [12:33] spicaaay: yes, but the cd/dvd may not actually boot because it detects that the system already has an operating system. It usually prompts you to confirm that you want to boot the cd/dvd [12:33] jolle: If you need a web interface to manage the system, do not manage the system. That's my personal opinion, though. Basically speaking, no, it's not worth it. [12:33] didnt prompt at all [12:33] theadmin: thanks [12:33] this is done to ease windows installations, users do not have to remove the dvd from the drive to still boot into their brand new windows system [12:34] This is so dumb, I have even reinstalled ubuntu, and specifically not updated just to stop it from freezing [12:34] who wants to talk politics (of computing) :: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/shuttleworth-on-ubuntu-linux-fedora-and-the-uefi-problem/11270 [12:34] i [12:34] mikubuntu type /join #ubuntu-offtopic for discussions [12:34] spicaaay: in any case, this sounds like a problem that is not solved by "wiping" the drive. Perhaps your boot media is defective, or you have some other issue. [12:34] ok, MonkeyDust [12:35] no, i copied the win7 into the cd so it cant be defective [12:35] "copied the win7 into the cd"? [12:35] yes [12:35] what exactly did you do? [12:35] #arduino [12:35] downloeded from torrent site, copied to cd and burned [12:36] How can "copy to cd" and "burn" be separate steps?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [12:36] Whatever, fuck linux, all of you are in denial if you think its even remotely usable in its current state. You can't even update the OS without it breaking something, you still need a specific hardware set otherwise you get bugs, noone can handle, fuck linux. [12:36] did you make the classic mistake of burning a DVD with an .ISO file on it? [12:36] dunno, but i put it on there and i have to click burn to burn it [12:36] probably xD [12:36] spicaaay: okay, I suspect that you did not build a bootable DVD because you burnt it incorrectly. [12:37] pardon? === cebor is now known as Cebor [12:37] if your linux is still alive you can confirm this by mounting the DVD and seeing what it contains. If it has a single ISO file, then that went wrong [12:37] alankila: spicaaay please take this discussion somewhere else === Cebor is now known as Cebor7j [12:37] yep, it has a singular iso === Cebor7j is now known as Cebor [12:38] nothing futher the discuss. The DVD is not bootable. Wiping HD does not solve issue. [12:38] so i need cd? [12:38] spicaaay: You need to burn it properly. [12:38] i dont erally get how i burnt incorrectly [12:39] spicaaay: You don't put an ISO file onto the drive. An ISO is a disk image. You have to burn it as a disk image. [12:40] oh.. yeah, that didnt work when it came up with 2 options, copy as image and copy file i believe.. [12:40] is there any text editor that can select the whole text? I can not do it by nano [12:41] anyway, thank you both theadmin and alankila for your help xD === vibhav_ is now known as vibhav [12:42] angs: If you mean in CLI, vim can (ggVG).

[13:15] SirEarl, the easiest way is to let somebody else do the job :D [13:15] haha [13:16] The easiest way I'd say is a USB install, because you do not neec to burn a disc [13:16] other than that does the install point itself out [13:16] Please do not ming my gramatic errors [13:16] sorry, i forgot it , this is the English error,--> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060719/ [13:16] Elvano, ? ... it doesn't show free space?

Then you need a filesystem, that allows something like that. Ext-filesystems alone won't allow that. [13:25] Elvano, you need more something like LVM or btrfs I guess [13:25] hi there... does anyone know of a music player on Ubuntu that can also connect to Pandora radio? [13:25] joachibl: thanks for the suggestion. [13:25] Elvano, and either way: you can't do that in the partition manager itself but on a "higher level" like a filesystem [13:25] SirEarl onwhat machine. cpu,memory/graphics [13:27] intel i7 3.07ghz [13:27] to be honest, I forgot how much memory and what graphics card [13:27] aha [13:27] nishttal2 does pandora have a streaing url?

Either way it shall increase my Ubuntu partition space drasticly. @ rumpe1 [13:28] but it's decent enough to run SW:TOR smoothly [13:28] MonkeyDust: Pandora isn't a typical radio, it's a radio station you build yourself, and no, they don't offer such streaming. [13:28] Sir Earl. graphics card could be crucial [13:28] MonkeyDust, i doubt it.. its a account based service [13:28] let me try to find it [13:28] Or would that give issues with the boot? @ rumpe1 === maVri is now known as maurizi0 [13:29] theadmin, MonkeyDust i am surprised bcoz now you can even get pandora in your car..

[13:41] n105: Well, then run the NVidia Settings tool which is in your menus to select resolutions and such [13:41] testi: There is Xfce, which feels a lot like Gnome2. There's also MATE, which IS gnome2. [13:41] testi: if you don't like fallback, then xfce is probably the next closest gnome2 [13:41] when i run NVidia Settings tool he told me to run nvidia-xconfig [13:42] n105: Then do that. And reboot. [13:42] theadmin: i have do it [13:42] zykotick9, isn't just changing the session to GNOME Classic faster?

I have to manual install gcc-4.1.2(a lower version of gcc) in ubuntu 11.10 , but the are some errors when i make it, -->>http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060719/ [13:44] i sorry to repeat it [13:45] Elvano, it could be a bit easier, when you do all that, update your old grub while still running your old system. This way the old grub should detect the new system on the new partition, so you could use regular boot to boot into that. And _then_ execute grub-install on the new system. Maybe easier than fiddling around with grub.cfg or chroot. [13:45] zykotick9:theadmin: do you how can i change a driver [13:45] Bookmarked it and mailed it to myself. I'm going to try this as soon I'm home again and have my USB-key (as I hope resquecd works with USB as well). @ rumpe1 [13:45] because when i run additional driver, it show that nvidia driver is not in use [13:45] i am unable to mount Transcend external dvd drive on my ubuntu lenovo laptop .... how should i mount it? [13:46] n105: Then choose it and click "Activate"... [13:46] So I should take the Grub steps before I start the rest? @ rumpe1 [13:46] I only have xorg.config.failsafe [13:46] mogaj: Something along the lines of "mount /dev/sr0 /mnt" [13:46] theadmin: lol if i found i will not ask you [13:47] mogaj: Or rather, "mount -o loop,ro /dev/sr0 /mnt", but that's just details. [13:47] Elvano, first you should read the article to understand, what exactly is needed for the move. As I said: you could keep the old system with the old grub for a while to boot into the new system. So it's the last step. [13:48] theadmin : am getting this message "/dev/sr0: No medium found" [13:48] mogaj: Well, you need to insert something into the drive before you can mount it [13:48] I wasn't planning on removing that partition nor the reference in the grub before I had a fully working clone xD @ rumpe1 [13:49] mogaj: do you have a built in optical drive as well? try /dev/sr1 if you do. [13:49] mogaj: ls -l /dev/sr0 [13:49] I'm mounting a USB hard disk at boot with the following line in my fstab: UUID=b53b95d7-f12a-4dbd-b449-704c6519ee76 /media/data1 ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 -- Is this correct or are there better options? [13:49] zykotick9: Oh, good catch [13:49] Elvano, you could keep it as a fallback-system :) [13:50] vampirnata: That looks good to me. [13:50] theadmin: Great, thank you :) I was worried I was using an option I was not supposed to be. [13:51] vampirnata: On the other hand, I don't see why you'd "remount-ro" it if it's external, but that's all up to you [13:51] usr13 : i got this message "brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jun 26 19:04 /dev/sr0" .... zykotick9: i have a built in optical drive when used your suggestion i still got "/dev/sr1: No medium found" [13:51] mogaj: Do you have a disk inside the drive?

[13:52] theadmin: am unable to eject the case to insert disk [13:52] theadmin: i have some programs writing to the disk periodically and didn't want them to write if there are errors on the disk, i'd rather the scripts fail [13:52] Thanks for the help. I hope I'll be able to make it work =p @ rumpe1 [13:52] mogaj: /dev/sr0 looks correct. Do you have a [readable] disk in it? [13:52] mogaj: Well, that's your problem, you need to insert a disc before you can mount it [13:52] mogaj: To eject it, use "eject /dev/sr1". [13:53] mogaj: Note that all of the above commands (both the mount and the eject) need to be ran as root (with sudo) [13:53] theadmin: mogaj or just eject [13:53] vampirnata: Ah, makes sense then. [13:53] usr13: mogaj has 2 optical drives... [13:53] theadmin: eject will prolly work as user. [13:53] theadmin: how can i insert disk without opening the tray? how can i eject without mounting .... i used all the above commads as root [13:54] zykotick9: that's quite possible. [13:54] usr13: only if the user is part of the cdrom group i think [13:54] mogaj: Do you have 2 cdrom drives? [13:54] vampirnata: Which is usually the case. [13:54] mogaj: sudo eject /dev/sr1, just as I said -- you don't need to mount it to eject. [13:54] I'm a bit of a Java (and other) programmer in training and I was wondering how I can compile my files so I can run them from linux. @ theadmin and others [13:54] usr13: sure, but assumption is the... :) [13:54] Elvano: Java compiles to .jar which is universal. === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo [13:55] utheadmin : eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument [13:55] vampirnata: Well, mogaj could find out: grep cdrom /etc/group [13:55] usr13 : yes i have an internal dvd drive for my laptop [13:56] mogaj: I see [13:56] Elvano: (well, it doesn't exactly "compile" to jar, but you get my point) [13:56] usr13 : cdrom:x:24:eka is the result of your command [13:56] Elvano: As for "others" -- that depends on the language. [13:56] mogaj: The internal one should be /dev/sd0 === carandraug is now known as carandraug_ [13:57] mogaj: so eka is your user name? [13:57] usr13 : yes [13:57] usr13: Uh, /dev/sd? I don't think so. /dev/sr0 is more likely. [13:57] usr13: sd0? what? [13:57] hi, i formatted my usb disk accidently is it possible to recover the data [13:57] mogaj: Good, then you will be able to eject /dev/sr0 as user [13:57] hi [13:58] sd0 was typo. should have been sr0 [13:58] rsv: maybe. look up photorec from the testdisk suite [13:58] Well ubuntu doesn't like my jar-files as it treats it like an archive @ theadmin [13:58] philinux hi [13:58] rsv there's also scalpel [13:58] usr13: when i used "eject /dev/sr0" command my internal dvd ejected not my external one [13:59] hi moga === carandraug_ is now known as carandraug [13:59] mogaj: Correct. (as I said before, /dev/sr0 will be the internal one) [13:59] gfxcard: radeon 3870, installed default system xubuntu, after boot black/blue screen = hangs, booted with nomodeset xdriver=vesa got same result [13:59] any idea? [14:00] Elvano: maybe try java yourjavaprogramname [14:00] usr13: i want to make my external one to work [14:00] mogaj: ls -l /dev/sr1 [14:00] sacarlson: isn't it "java -jar foo.jar" (i certainly could be wrong, i don't use java) [14:01] zykotick9: not if this is correct http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=713622 [14:02] usr13 : The result of above command "brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 1 Jun 26 19:09 /dev/sr1" [14:03] Elvano: java -jar foo.jar, make sure to have Java installed. [14:03] zykotick9: oh your correct if the java program is a jar file http://alexsleat.co.uk/2010/06/07/howto-run-jar-files-in-ubuntu/ [14:03] Elvano: The file associations in Ubuntu by default are a bit messy, I'm not sure why jars are associated with file-roller :/ [14:04] mogaj: Then eject /dev/sr1 should eject the other one. [14:04] usr13: "eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument" [14:05] The java -jar did the trick. Without the -jar it still opens as an archive. Thanks alot. @ theadmin , sacarlson [14:05] mogaj: Hummmm..... [14:06] Elvano: how quickly I foget [14:07] magentar: pastebinit /proc/scsi/scsi [14:07] and send resulting url [14:07] hi [14:07] Guys, I just wiped windows off of this old desktop and installed lucid. I have a 200 gig hdd that I put linux on, and an 85 gig hdd that was full of music. gparted shows the second drive as 31 gigs, and with a 7 gig partition of unknown type. I can't access it in any way. How do I fix? [14:08] mogaj: pastebinit /proc/scsi/scsi [14:08] mogaj: or just look at it and see: cat /proc/scsi/scsi [14:08] I just backed that drive up before I wiped windows. I know it is bigger than that. I don't mind formatting it, but I want to be able to use its full size. [14:09] studio: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #Let's have a look, see what you have [14:10] studio: send resulting url [14:11] studio: mount #Will tell you what is mounted now. [14:13] Hello all -- I have a network configuration question. I regularly need to connect to one static IP wired network and one DHCP one. On my Win7 box, I run netsh batch tasks on event (network connect, condition network of a certain name available) to change the adapter settings. On Ubuntu: what do? [14:14] MoPac: ifconfig [14:14] MoPac, its very easy. right click connection manager and configure a static configuration. then you can swith easily between "auto eth0" and "what ever name you gave befoer" [14:14] MoPac: with wicd gui you can setup multi profiles with different settings [14:14] nibbier: So it will always have to be a manual switch rather than having the machine recognize a network name? [14:15] MoPac, how do you recognize a network name? i mean of course you can script something that probes for IPs etc.... [14:15] MoPac: As sacarlson suggests, if you do not like the way network-manager handles your Network Interfaces, you can install wicd and use it instead. [14:15] MoPac, even: *what is* a network name? [14:16] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060807/ [14:16] usr13, everything except /dev/sdb is mounted. [14:16] hi.. I cant install any 64 bit os in virtualbox jus 32 bits I@m use intel i5 cpu... I did all configuration but nothing [14:17] studio: What size is sdb? [14:17] jonas-k: Is your host OS (the main one) 64-bit? If not, it will be impossible. [14:17] jonas-k i havent managed to do it either, better install 32bit [14:17] sda1, 5, and 4 (/, /home, swap) are fine, but sdb is showing as 31.5 g when I know it's 85 g. [14:17] ye 64 main ... [14:17] theadmin: ahh, not quite - cpu requires virtualization support for it to work though [14:17] zykotick9: ? [14:17] and it only had one ntfs partition, and was the full size, but now it has a 7 gig unknown partition. [14:17] jonas-k: do you get coloured output from "egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo --color=always" [14:17] and 23 gigs unallocated [14:17] mogaj: So DVD RW is the external one? [14:18] zyko ok i'll try [14:18] cheers mate [14:19] usr13, the drive is showing an unknown partition type. I can't mount it. And i don't want to format it while it says it's a 32 g drive when I know it's way bigger. [14:19] mogaj: sudo mount /dev/sr1 /mnt #Tell us if you see errors, or not. [14:19] usr13: "Vendor: TS8XDVDR Model: Transcend" is the external one [14:19] studio: you don't have a USB stick plugged in perhaps? [14:19] studio: What type of filesystem is on it? [14:19] nope [14:20] It was NTFS. [14:20] It's not showing up right in gparted, tho [14:20] usr13: mount: no medium found on /dev/sr1 [14:20] studio: show us what fdisk says about it. [14:20] I'm trying to connect to my USRP2 (software defined radio) through a wired ethernet connection. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04. When I set the ip using sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.1 I get a connection for about 20 seconds and then it disconnects. Any idea why this is happening? [14:21] studio: fdisk -l | pastebinit [14:21] studio: and send resulting URL [14:21] nibbier: usr13: "Network name" may be just a misunderstanding by me of how Windows appears to differentiate between wired networks on connect. [14:21] mogaj: Try another disk [14:21] studio: Are you sure that unknown partition isn't some system restore hidden partition that a lot of machines use when they come pre-installed with the MS stuff tucked away someplace ? [14:21] usr13 : another disk? [14:22] mogaj: Do you have a disk in it now? [14:22] hello [14:22] Squintz: you would want to eather setup your static ip with network-manager or uninstall it [14:22] i think i have found a bug, but would like to ask in here first [14:22] ok [14:22] genii-around, Yes, I'm sure. [14:22] Squintz: other wise it will take control of ip address at periodic periods [14:22] I've seen lots of those, and even changed flags to make them useable. [14:22] usr13 ; ther is no disk because i am not able to eject it [14:23] This was a standard HDD used as a D:\ drive in windows for storing music. [14:23] mogaj: There is no button? [14:23] thanks sacarlson [14:23] I'm installing pastebinit atm. Will have that up for you in a min. [14:23] mogaj: You certainly will not be able to mount it if there is no disk in it. [14:23] usr13: i used the button to eject but it did not work [14:23] Squintz: cool that software radio I've read about it [14:23] a library distributed in firefox (usr/lib/firefox/softokn3.so) have a broken dependency (´ldd´ shows a not found for libmozsquilte3.so). Asking on mozilla they say its a package mantainer issue. where/how i should report the bug? [14:24] helpcrypto is it from a PPA? [14:24] Ciao [14:24] yes [14:24] ignarps: Crome_ [14:24] join #ubuntu-it [14:24] helpcrypto then contact the PPA maintainer [14:24] Guys, fdisk -l gives me nothing. [14:24] hold a sec [14:25] ppa=repo, right? [14:25] helpcrypto: Which ppa? [14:25] usr13, fdisk isn't working lol. [14:25] its the firefox [14:25] !ppa > helpcrypto [14:25] helpcrypto, please see my private message [14:25] studio: sudo fdisk -l [14:25] studio: I guess you weren't using any compression software on the MS side like Stacker or DoubleSpace? They use a layout very similar to that as well. [14:25] its not a ppa [14:25] its FIREFOX [14:25] helpcrypto: What does apt-cache policy firefox say? [14:26] no idea what u talking about :P [14:26] ur13: finally it worked ... thankyou [14:26] studio: ( and the 50% size it shows sort of matches that ) [14:26] mogaj: NP [14:26] http://pastebin.com/fMtd4mfN [14:26] helpcrypto: I'm trying to find out what version of firefox you have installed, and therefore where to report the problem. [14:26] ubuntu12, firefox 13 [14:26] *12.04 [14:27] but also happens in firefox 12 [14:27] Hello [14:27] hmm, I think the drive had the 'compress to save space' option enabled, but I have all my windows drives compressed, and they show up on other xp/bodhi systems, genii-around [14:27] usr13, http://pastebin.com/fMtd4mfN [14:28] helpcrypto: you can report the bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/ [14:28] studio: EZ-Drive, is that it? [14:28] thx pici [14:28] Hello, trying to locate a version of 'free' that has the -h option. [14:28] studio: I would just mount it and see whats there. [14:29] studio: What type of drive is it? === BotaniCar is now known as Bot_idedoma [14:29] EZ-drive? [14:29] studio: Yea, that is what it says: http://pastebin.com/fMtd4mfN [14:30] usr13: I think that's the case, windows was reporting 80-some-odd but the drive is physically what gparted says [14:30] HI [14:30] studio: What type of drive is it? ide sata usb ....? [14:30] IDE, I believe. [14:30] It's internal. Our old D drive for windows. [14:31] genii-around: possibly .... [14:31] I've had corruption problems like this with micro s's, but idk much about big drives [14:31] sd'd* [14:31] sd's* lol [14:31] genii-around: If that's it, I would suppose it's a 33GB drive. [14:32] usr13, I know it's an 85 gig drive. [14:32] studio: Is that it? sdb ? [14:32] yes === rolf_ is now known as rolf_tmp [14:33] studio: Then mount it. See what's there. [14:33] studio: if after deleteing all the partitions it still shows less than expected might try dd -if /dev/zero ??? to zero the corrupted partition [14:33] studio: You know what's supposed to be on it. Right? Mount it and see. [14:34] yes, I kno what was on it, but how do I mount it in terminal? [14:34] studio: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; ls /mnt [14:35] u mean sdb1? [14:35] studio: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt ; ls /mnt [14:35] usr13, studio http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO-8.html [14:35] studio: Yes, sorry [14:35] alpha1 zulu obek trans to #proj21 [14:36] genii-around: That's interesting.... [14:36] must specify file sys type.. [14:36] studio: did you see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO-8.html [14:37] studio: genii-around I've yet to deal with EZ-Drive [14:37] yea, I read it. According to them, I need to recompile my kernel >.< [14:37] studio ya as user13: points out in his link dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdx bs=512 count=1 [14:37] usr13: So it looks like bios geometry would show it as 30-whatever but then the OnTrack disk manager remaps it internally, etc [14:38] studio: Have you tried looking in the bios to see if it's set to Auto, or manually mapped to certain type, etc? [14:38] Pici: reported. Thanks [14:39] no, let me reboot and check bios. [14:39] brb. [14:39] genii-around: sacarlson Yea, sounds like the easiest thing to do is to just wipe and re-partition [14:39] I don't mind wiping the drive. [14:39] I backed it up, but i want its full size back. [14:40] studio: As sacarlson points out, you probably just want to wipe it and start over. [14:40] And I've heard that if you partition/format a drive while it shows a smaller size that you're stuck with it that way. [14:40] as in can't get the original size back. [14:40] But I think there are ways to get it to register the full drive again. Just gotta dig em up, I guess. [14:41] puddi puddi puddi puddi giga puddi [14:41] can I move the launcher? [14:41] by launcher, you mean the unity-bar thingy? [14:41] yeah [14:41] studio: sacarlson genii-around Yea, I don't know about the EZ-Drive thing. I can't really give any advise. But I doubt that there is not a way to get the full size of the drive usable. [14:42] it's possible with some tweaks in compiz, but AFAIK, there's no native supported way of moving it in Ubuntu [14:42] anyone in here used forked-daap before ? [14:43] usr13: I had boxes using it before under MS ... you would manually set a type in bios, which looked like some small drive specs. But then the OnTrack takes over the mbr and sort of multiplexes the CHS settings [14:45] ( this was for motherboards whose bios could not understand drives over certain sizes, etc ) [14:46] philinux: Thanks a lot, testdisk recovery worked!!! [14:46] sacarlson: genii-around Yea, I looked at fdisk's list of drive types and 55 is indeed "EZ-Drive" [14:47] rsv: nice one [14:47] sacarlson: genii-around I suppose if he would have specified EZ-Drive as filesystem type, he might have been able to mount it. Right? [14:47] Hey [14:48] fuchs: hey [14:48] fuchs: i am now running in my old ubuntu [14:48] Hi everyone. in few moment's i'll start ubuntu first time [14:48] genii-around: So you think it's really just a 33G HD? [14:48] What's „Ubuntu First time” ? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [14:49] means that i'll start it for the first time [14:49] in my life man))) [14:49] Aw. [14:49] You russian? [14:49] y [14:50] how do u know? [14:50] usr13 I guess it's some method to hide partitions or disk space to hide files? [14:50] Only slavs use those ")))" as smileys. [14:50] Habib: So now Ubuntu is installing ? [14:50] i'm not slav man)) [14:50] But you've said you're russian. [14:51] cos foreighn ppl consider all the ppl living in russia are russians [14:51] Aw. Sorry. [14:51] so there are more than 136 nations there [14:52] usr13: No, I think it's 80-whatever but that BIOS is reporting it as 33 and the old disk manager software was doing the heavy lifting earlier [14:52] Habib: so what's the time there? [14:52] u from texas? [14:52] it's 10 to 19 [14:52] !ot [14:52] #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! [14:53] hi, anyone knows a good channel for some bash questions? [14:53] schnuffle: #bash [14:53] nm should retain a database of nicks and calculate a similarity metric in terms of shape, to make best use of the few colors it can [14:53] for instance short nicks composed of similar letters should all have different colors, while it's not a problem if a short and long nick get the same color [14:53] damned I joined before being connected to the right server so the channel was empty sorry [14:54] maybe overthinking it, though. [14:54] oh, excuse me, wrong channel. [14:54] yo [14:54] anyone here use glade? [14:54] rymate1234: not for many years, but I have done a bit [14:54] rymate1234: ya glade is cool [14:55] how can I make a dropdown that also has a text input? [14:55] ye [14:55] how can I make a dropdown that also has a text input? [14:56] rymate1234: seems it's one or the other not both [14:56] :( [14:56] studio: sacarlson genii-around http://fatooh.org/misc/ez-drive.html [14:56] rymate1234: just have both with one override the other? [14:57] I dd'd a 100MB image to a 2GB sd card and gparted shows the drive as unreserved while nautilus shows a single 100MB partition but describes it as a "2GB filesystem" [14:57] I want the remaining space to use [14:57] fuchs:Hey i am now running on low graphics mode [14:57] Lartza: how did you dd it [14:57] and i am installing nvidia driver [14:57] usr13: I think UBCD also may have these types of utilities [14:57] ikonia, dd bs=1M if=0.fat of=/dev/sdd [14:57] how would I do that? [14:57] Lartza: right, so there is no partition table any more [14:57] Lartza: that's why you do'nt see a sane partition table [14:58] hi, whats a good channel for graphic design? requiring lots of ram. [14:58] genii-around: Very good. Probably a lot easier too. [14:58] Azjo: use the "alis" bot to search [14:58] anyone know of a way to use the capslock light on my keyboard for something useful, like flashing when a window needs my attention? [14:58] ikonia, Manual partition and cp -a? :P [14:58] ikonia: where? [14:58] Lartza: depends what your goal is [14:58] Azjo: it's a bot called alis - message it [14:58] Get things working, that will most likely work [14:59] rymate1234: all I know is in what I wrote and publish here https://github.com/sacarlson/GenPlayList oh and it's in ruby [14:59] "get things working" ??? what are you actually trying to do [14:59] ikonia: i tried to msg it with a q but no answer ;) [14:59] ikonia, Install ArchLinux ARM on a Raspberry Pi :) [14:59] Lartza: ...How is that an Ubuntu question [14:59] rymate1234: there are some other good examples on github of glade and other places in other languages [15:00] I am doing it from ubuntu, it's kind of a general dd question that would fit #linux but since I am using #ubuntu... [15:00] Lartza: come on, help me out, what are you trying to actually do with the image and the usb disk [15:00] How do i make fstab entry to automount partition so that it would be fully user writable? I was looking into that and found about umask and similar options, however it seems that in current version of ubuntu those are not supported. Suggestions? [15:00] anyone who has experience with a Lenovo D20? [15:00] Azjo: just ask the question [15:00] ikonia, 0.fat is basically a /boot partition that was once inside another .img with 1.img as ext4 root [15:00] minihydra: what is the partition type? ext/fat/ntfs? [15:00] ext4 [15:01] ikonia, But I installed the root on a usb stick and now am left with the 0.fat 100MB /boot I want to get on this SD card [15:01] Azjo: Ask the question [15:01] im having trouble installing on the raid. windows, linux, anything i do, it simply wont work [15:01] minihydra: they mount the partition and change the permission on the mount point - fstab isn't required [15:01] Lartza: I would partition the usb disk and copy the files onto the usb stick at a file system level [15:01] s/they/then/ [15:01] Azjo: So your computer have no operating sytems ? [15:01] ikonia, What would be "filesystem level"? cp -a atleast saves permissions but :) [15:02] I want it to be automatically mounted at boot, and not manual mounting with user directive at fstab [15:02] nope [15:02] Lartza: uncompress the image, and copy the files onto a pre-created partition and file system [15:02] Azjo: Do you have a ubuntu cd ? [15:02] some guy managed to install archlinux on it earlier.. but only because he took away all drives but 1 [15:02] minihydra: i just mean permission isn't required in fstab - the mount is [15:02] hi! [15:02] zykotick9: you mean mount point? [15:02] yes i do [15:03] how can I install grub2. i am on live cd now. [15:03] minihydra: forget it - someone else can help you [15:04] Azjo: then istall it [15:04] /nick hddisseny:0i2f3v [15:04] Azjo: What's the Ubuntu version of the cd ? [15:04] hddisseny change your password now [15:04] Azjo: so you want a software raid install I assume? if so you would want the alternate ubuntu live cd [15:04] i havent actually tried an ubuntu on the system. [15:05] nebimler: If you are trying to recover a broken grub setup, I suggest following the article ubottu will send you in a sec. [15:05] !restoregrub ! nebimler [15:05] theadmin: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:05] Oops [15:05] !restoregrub | nebimler [15:05] nebimler: Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [15:05] 12.04 is what i will install if anything, but thats not what i want though ;) i guess its worth a shot to see what happens. [15:05] Azjo: you can try it using live cd [15:05] theadmin no recover. i will just install it. [15:06] nebimler: Okay. Then use the grub-install command [15:06] that will most likely work yes.. but that wont solve my problem. [15:06] Azjo: what's your problem ? [15:07] raid driver issues i believe [15:07] theadmin grub-install want parametre. i dont know what it is. it writes `device`. === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [15:07] not even raid driver issues from the manufacturers site is accepted, when i try to install windows 7. [15:08] issues? drivers** [15:08] hey everyone! i'm having trouble with configuring an init script. i have placed the script in /etc/init.d and ran "update-rc.d script-name defaults 99", however it doesn't *always* run on boot. i tried chain loading the script using rc.local but to no avail. any ideas on how to make a script run reliably on boot? [15:08] nebimler: Read the manpage -- "man grub-install", it explains it in detail.

If you'd like to simply chat, join #ubuntu-offtopic [15:13] ok [15:13] hey everyone! i'm having trouble with configuring an init script. i have placed the [15:13] +script in /etc/init.d and ran "update-rc.d script-name defaults 99", however it doesn't *always* run on [15:13] +boot. i tried chain loading the script using rc.local but to no avail. any ideas on how to make a script [15:13] +run reliably on boot? [15:13] applematt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:14] sorry FloodBot ... i just don't know how to paste. :P [15:14] applematt: /etc/rc.local is your best bet to run arbitrary stuff on boot. If it fails, I suggest checking the actual script. [15:16] theadmin: thanks for the suggestion. the script runs fine when manually invoked. [15:16] applematt: might add some print statments to your script to get some feedback as to what happens with echo , maybe doesn't have needed assets to run? [15:17] applematt: or permition problems or path problems or .... [15:17] sacarlson: it prints to messages using logger, however when the system boots, there are no log entries in messages which tells me it's not running from rc.local or as an init script. [15:18] applematt: were did you put your echo? at start? [15:18] applematt: I normaly use cron with @reboot to start stuf [15:18] sacarlson: yes, i put an echo at the top of the script below #!/bin/bash [15:19] hmmm , cron with @reboot ... i'll have to give that a try. [15:19] sacarlson: thx for the suggestion! [15:19] applematt: I guess without seeing the script not much else I can tell ya [15:19] sacarlson: *nod* [15:20] sacarlson: i'd love to share, but it's proprietary for work so i'm not allow to do that. :P === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [15:21] Thanks again everyone! :) === Mkaysi_ is now known as Mkaysi === VGoff_afk is now known as VGoff [15:25] Pourquoi ce changement de nom?

[16:15] How to get my prefrences to save? :( [16:16] anyone got a great bash script that sets color scheme to be more readable? [16:16] Delta Heavy: the gui I believe, I don't no what CLI is, Sorry. [16:17] command line interface [16:17] the terminal [16:17] CLI = Command Line Interface (open Terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T to see it) [16:17] Charles1: Command line interface. Try mounting it via the mount command. Could you pastebin the output of 'ls /dev/ | grep ^sd' please [16:17] anyone please, How do i use sudo without a password? my sudo user has no password. [16:17] DeltaHeavy: Sorry yes I tried to use the interface, and I tried the mount command [16:18] malik_: Have you tried just pressing enter?

I was having issues with entering password. I dont know why but i needed to enter password 10s of times before i could login. So i just deleted the password [16:20] do'h sorry! [16:21] good day people [16:21] malik_: I'd have to assume that's user error. Sometimes I type in my password slightly wrong but a way I'd commonly mess it up. [16:22] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline', sorry [16:22] i am use in Spark (ubuntu) and i would like my monitor is auto-disable [16:22] DeltaHeavy, I am user it was not user error. my password was only 3 characters long, and i carefully entered CORRECT password, but the problem persisted. [16:23] DeltaHeavy: The device is on dev/sdc , how is that command written? [16:23] DeltaHeavy, Could this be the wireless keyboard connected to the PC via a kvm switch? though everything else is type correctly [16:24] malik_: I'm just saying as far as I can tell it's far more likly there's user error of some sorts whether it be capital letters or what, then a decades old login system having a bug.

Any output? [16:27] DeltaHeavy: fdisk -l [16:28] "using windows ?? [16:28] :) [16:28] same thing [16:28] are you using wubi ?? [16:28] yes [16:28] What does sudo fdisk /dev/sda do? [16:28] don't know what that is, so no [16:28] beandog: That's not working [16:28] Charles1: Sorry, replace that with /dev/sdc [16:28] DeltaHeavy: l as as el? [16:29] beandog: When he runs that command he just gets a newline and that's it [16:29] DeltaHeavy: really? That's not good. [16:29] DeltaHeavy: Sorry I am so new to this, thancks for bearing with me [16:29] beandog: It's RAID1. Would that have anything to do with it? [16:29] beandog: I doubt it right? [16:29] Richard, did you use unetbootin to create the disk [16:30] DeltaHeavy: no, that wouldn't make a difference ... fdisk is still going to show the existence of actual devices [16:30] no, just downloaded it to a stick and extracted the files [16:30] Hi. I have a mini pc desktop without screen, keyboard and mouse. I communicate with it via SSH Client or FreeNX Desktop Client. All run fine except i have a persistent message : http://pastebin.com/5St1p0Hm. I've tried all solutions i've found on Google : Touch /forcefsck ( the file remain on the root and no check are done ). e2fsck told me after done a forced check that my HDD haven't been checked since 290 Days. [16:31] DeltaHeavy: "fdisk: unable to open dev/sdc: No such file or directory" I am sure it is at dev/sdc, now I am confused [16:31] So since 290 Days, that message shows up and no checks are done for that HDD. However the HDD still runs fine. So i don't know what i can do ... [16:31] Richard, that's why no boot image [16:31] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [16:31] what to do [16:32] :-) [16:32] ChTiPowA: that's ... weird [16:32] ChTiPowA: I think you can use tune2fs to flag it as needing to be checked, too [16:32] Charles1: What's the output of 'ls /dev/ | grep ^sd' [16:32] Richard, don't worry we have all been there. Read the article to create bootable version of ubuntu [16:32] beandog: well i don't know Tune2fs, can you tell me more please ? [16:33] will do and yhanks [16:33] thanks === oCean_ is now known as oCean [16:33] don't mention it [16:33] DeltaHeavy: Sorry I missed that line of code, what do I put in? [16:33] ChTiPowA: it ships with e2fsprogs as well ... just tweaks settings, like changing the label, setting amount reserved for root, etc., etc. man page is gonna be your best friend, honestly [16:34] i'm reading the manpage beandog but ... what do you suggest me to do with that ? [16:34] Charles1: 'ls /dev/ | grep ^sd' [16:34] ChTiPowA: I dunno, it seems like touching the file should have done it [16:34] beandog: exactly, touching file doesn't do it. [16:34] beandog: the shutdown -rF now doesn't do it either [16:35] beandog: also i tried the simple shutdown -h now but doesn't do it ... [16:35] ChTiPowA: well what *I* would do at this point is boot off a live CD / usb and run it that way so the drive isn't mounted [16:35] Hi, I have several files in a directory. Is it possible to perform search in the directory for files containing specific phrases as content ? [16:35] stack: grep [16:36] stack: it depends on what types of files they are. If it's just text, then grep would work === onryo is now known as purechaos [16:36] beandog: they are .c and .h files [16:36] beandog: There is no CD Player on that computer only USB. What i've done is e2fsprog -p /dev/sda3, it told me the HDD was mounted so what i've done is i killed all process using it since it works only for LAN. then i forced the checkup, all run fine except non contigus files at 17.5% but the tool fixed it. [16:36] DeltaHeavy: sda [16:36] sda1 [16:36] sda2 [16:36] sda3 [16:36] sdc [16:36] sdc1 [16:36] sdc2 [16:36] stack: find . -type f -print | xargs grep -li "containsthis" 2> /dev/null [16:36] Charles1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:36] Charles1: idk then, /dev/sdc clearly exists [16:36] beandog: then e2fsck told me that my HDD have never been checked during 290 days. [16:37] folks - I have on my server a fireawll - which I load with sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start [16:37] stack: yah, grep'll work then. grep "" *.c [16:37] stack: etc. [16:37] ChTiPowA: Hmm, I think there's a way to flag it and say it *was* checked [16:37] so now beandog the checkup is done but still, when i reboot the computer i have the message ... [16:37] DeltaHeavy: sdc1, sdc2 are both part of the drive connected at sdc, how would I mount that drive? [16:38] beandog: before to come to channel, i found the message is on /var/run/motd but when i tried the trick to rename that motd, the computer remake it and still the message is present. [16:38] ChTiPowA: there we go ... tune2fs -T
