[00:00] Sparky_: what type of help do you need? [00:00] matreya6, im not sure what that means. why not just move the partition start [00:00] Well, I guess all of it XD I am a complete noob when it comes to OS's. [00:01] It was suggested that I try ubuntu on a flash drive, just to test it so I don't lose windows, but I don't know what to do, so they told me to come here :P === gartral|Away is now known as gartral [00:02] the instructions on the dl site are really good, you should start following them and we can walk you through parts you don't get [00:02] escott, using (gp)arted? Yes, I' ll have to do that. I hope NTLOADR does not get confused, but I' ll know that in a few moments. After all, I use WinXP for games only, my main systems run Linux. [00:02] Ok thanks, brb :D [00:02] first though, find out if your system is 32 or 64 bit [00:03] I believe it is 32... Its just a little dell netbook :P [00:03] Sparky_: "uname -m" to find out [00:03] matreya6, yeah im not sure how ntloadr will feel about all this [00:04] ok, it's good you're on a pc, that's all I know how to use [00:04] Sparky_: i686 = 32bit x86_64 = 64bit [00:04] Its not a pv, its a laptop lol [00:04] pc* [00:04] I have a question.. I was trying Xubuntu from the Live cd, and i saw that I had 54 GB of free space. I go to install it, and it says "low disk space - this computer has only 0 bytes disk space remaining" in the upper right ?? [00:04] Dell netbook = laptop :3 [00:04] ActionParsnip that makes no sense to me o.o [00:05] ha, laptops are pcs too [00:05] Will setting iptables rules on eth0 also conflict with eth0.10? [00:05] oh -.- [00:06] Told you i'm a complete noob XD [00:06] Sparky_: read the output of: uname -m ten read what I said... [00:06] uname -m [00:06] ? [00:06] don't worry about it [00:06] What do I do with that -.- [00:06] Sparky_: press CTRL+ALT+T and type that, then hit ENTER [00:06] i promise you a netbook will run the 32bt version [00:06] lol [00:07] on windows ? type 'uname -m' ??? [00:07] Ah.... CTRL+ALT+T = nothing... [00:07] What is it supposed to open up? [00:07] terminal [00:07] crt alt t opens terminal, it wont do shit if you're on windows though [00:08] thomas__1: check the ASUS 1215B-PU17-SL as one example [00:08] lol [00:08] Could I just open a command prompt...? [00:08] thomas__1: not all netbooks are 64bit [00:08] Sparky_: what do you think CTRL+ALT+T does? [00:08] thomas__1: Please keep the language clean [00:08] Terminal ^^ [00:08] I'm on XP [00:08] netbook -> just install in 32 bits version [00:09] XP home edition ^^ [00:09] Could i get some help? :x [00:09] why bother with 64 bits [00:09] Hrm... [00:09] I will just take a bargain and choose 32 bit. [00:09] especially for a simple test on usb key... [00:09] :P [00:09] Will setting iptables rules on eth0 also conflict with eth0.10? === Sparky_ is now known as Sparky[A] [00:09] * Sparky[A] is now away - Reason : AFK for 30 minutes, beep me a few times if you need me :D [00:10] Eagleman: depends on your iptables, but no should not as it is another interface (virtual) === marek_ is now known as marekweb [00:11] I have a question.. I was trying Xubuntu from the Live cd, and i saw that I had 54 GB of free space. I go to install it, and it says "low disk space - this computer has only 0 bytes disk space remaining" in the upper right ?? === Sparky[A] is now known as Sparky_ [00:12] * Sparky_ is no longer AFK - Gone for 2 minutes 29 seconds [00:12] Sparky_, please disable that [00:12] Sorry lol [00:13] No one? [00:13] MissVera: screenshots of the two informations please. [00:14] MissVera: was the 'free space' unpartitioned? [00:14] Sorry? I Dont have screen shots. I dont understand why i need them either. I have 54gb free hard drive space. Which, I Know for a fact since i just reformmated. And then at the beginning of the install, right where im picking the language, it tells me in the upper right, low disk space, mz [00:14] Do I just download Ubuntu Desktop? [00:14] Sparky_: yes, if you want a desktop OS [00:14] My fresh 12.04 doesn't power off nor reboots, it says waiting for all active processes to terminate [00:15] well.... does a desktop OS work on a dell laptop? lol [00:15] Action, if it failed dring an install, could that have left it unpartitioned? [00:15] MissVera, i wonder if its the ramdisk is getting full [00:15] I'm really REALLY new to Ubuntu, so, its a bit confusing. [00:16] MissVera, i would just ignore it if it is happening during the install [00:16] I had tried to install it, and at the end it said something about a problem it couldnt recover from. and now im trying to install again, and its telling me i have no free space, escott [00:16] So, just.. try again? [00:16] Twenty minute download x.x [00:17] Vera: you already tried once? did you partition the disk? [00:17] what command do i use to know/find out if i have Python installed or what version [00:17] MissVera: delete the 54Gb partition so that the space is unallocacted, then run the installer [00:17] I clicked for it to format over the old linux version and replace it with Xubuntu [00:17] n1ckn4me09876543: python --version [00:17] ActionParsnip, how? using the live cd? since the other OS is gone now.. [00:18] muelli: ty [00:18] MissVera: you can use gparted in the liveCD [00:18] It is downloading two things, is that right? [00:19] ActionParsnip okay. I've done this... once. So. didnt know. [00:19] what two things? [00:19] They look almost the same -.- [00:19] MissVera: in the liveCD run: gksudo gparted and you can manipulate the drive [00:19] ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386 (1).iso [00:19] And [00:19] Sparky did you click twice? [00:19] ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso [00:19] haha [00:19] Don't think so lol [00:19] you did [00:20] you can stop 1 of them [00:20] lol [00:20] ok [00:20] ActionParsnip, lol. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to partition the other day using Gparted.I'll give it a go. [00:20] the other thing you need, scroll down a bit and click the usb instructions [00:20] `k [00:20] there's a program to create a live usb for you, dl that [00:22] live USB thing - http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [00:22] m [00:22] If I use it on a USB I can always delete it can't i? [00:22] Sparky_: you could also have used LiLi USB Creator, it 1/ download the ISO 2/ choose the key 3/ install the ISO on the USB automatically [00:22] yes just format the key [00:22] yeah.. [00:23] Format the key o.o? [00:23] can i list recent package upgrades somehow? [00:23] Could someone teamview with me and help? lol i'm confused beyond belief [00:23] just format it :P [00:23] Idk how to do that -.- [00:23] i7c: very likely. There should be something in /var/log. probably "dpkg.log" or smth like that. [00:24] has anyone else had any problems starting at Clock: inserting leap second 23:59:60 UTC [00:24] catphish: yes [00:24] catphish: http://serverfault.com/questions/403732/anyone-else-experiencing-high-rates-of-linux-server-crashes-today/403752#403752 [00:26] muelli: indeed. thx! [00:26] thanks [00:28] how's Sparky doing, he stopped talking [00:29] tried to install fglrx without success and now my screen is blank [00:29] I've got ssh connection [00:29] what to do? [00:30] aristidesfl: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:31] ActionParsnip http://hastebin.com/vujowelelo [00:31] for some reason i cant get apt-get to install anything [00:31] root? [00:34] aristidesfl: check what: fglrx(0): firegl_SetSuspendResumeState FAILED -9 is [00:34] hello [00:34] Alright, I'm using UNetBootin to make a USB install for Voyager (Xubuntu)and near the bottom, it says, "Space used to preserve files across reboots (Ubuntu only)" then has a space for you to set it at however many mb. How much should I allocate? [00:35] MissVera, enough to store whatever files you want to save [00:35] Vera: What do you want to use it for? just installing? [00:35] thomas__1 yes, just to install. [00:36] Does anyone know a good nintendo 64 emulator? [00:36] then none [00:36] MissVera, then zero [00:36] Nintendo 64? [00:36] I cant see to install distros from cd, so i stick to flash drives [00:36] Nintendo 64 is so old they probably don't even have one x.x [00:36] k [00:36] lol [00:37] too old for an emulator? lul? [00:37] Sparky_ , They have them i played on them on windows. [00:37] oh [00:37] hmm o_o [00:37] i need one for linux [00:38] there are emulators for NES games. how would a 64 be too old? :x [00:38] wolfgang_: a quick search on http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=n64 revealed mupen64plus [00:38] melli, on software center? [00:38] muelli, on sofware center? [00:39] !info mupen64plus | wolfgang_ [00:39] wolfgang_: mupen64plus (source: mupen64plus): plugin-based Nintendo 64 emulator (transitional dummy package). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.99.4+4 (precise), package size 5 kB, installed size 31 kB [00:39] wolfgang_: I suggest that you check that yourself. [00:39] I have so much random stuff D: [00:40] muelli, can't find it [00:40] Not I But the search [00:40] How can I set my computer to allow only reverse ssh connections ? [00:40] wolfgang_: you have to have universe enabled. [00:40] I have to go bye [00:40] kristenB: what is a reverse SSH connection? [00:40] also what is univers? [00:41] muelli: a ssh with the option -R... [00:41] !universe [00:41] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [00:41] Gota go === sixdahs is now known as f0rkb0mb [00:42] kristenB: yes. So what do you want your computer to do? Do you want to set openssh up in such a way that people can only do (reverse) port forwarding? [00:42] you cn buy an N64 for next to nothing and the games cost less than a mars bar [00:42] kristenB, why would you want this? [00:42] muelli: yes [00:42] muelli: why not ? === f0rkb0mb is now known as sixdahs [00:42] escott: why not? [00:43] kristenB, i mean why would you want to allow reverse ssh but not regular ssh? [00:43] kristenB, beyond just putting up a firewall? [00:43] Hi guys, I keep getting system errors and as far as I understood it is because of posgresql-9.1. Can I just completely remove it? (Ubuntu 12.04 upgrade from 11.10) [00:44] escott: because I would like to have access to a computer B that is behind a NAT, without giving him access to my computer. [00:44] kristenB: well. If it was me, I'd create a user with /bin/false as shell and put a public key in ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys with the necessary parameters set up. I believe man ssh_config or sshd_config lists the necessary options [00:45] kristenB, how about setting up an auth-key and setting the command to /bin/false? [00:45] kristenB: i.e. I have something for a friend. The following allows him to do port forwarding, but doesn't get a shell: command="sleep 900",no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding $the_public_key [00:45] muelli: so what's the full command exactly ? [00:46] So can anybody tell me if I can fully delete postgresql from ubuntu? [00:46] escott: how would setting the command to /bin/false work exactly ? [00:46] kristenB: well. cat >> ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys < kristenB: and then the string fom above. Then CTRL+D [00:46] or EOF really [00:46] kristenB, much as muelli suggested. you setup a key for this usage and put it in authkeys with the command=/bin/false prefixed before the public key [00:47] I'm sorry I'm quite lost I'm actually not used to settings keys, I usually just do with passwords [00:47] kristenB, auth keys are AMAZING [00:48] but kristenB. That's rather advanced OpenSSH voodoo. I'd suggest you to read up on OpenSSH, Publickeys, linux user management and so on. And come back after a week of studying and experimenting. [00:48] so step by step, assuming A is my computer, and B is the computer I want to access through the reverse ssh connection (that is, B is supposed to connect to A with ssh in such a way that A can access B) [00:48] kristenB, run ssh-keygen it will ask for a path to the key call it id_rsa_untrusted [00:49] kristenB, that will create id_rsa_untrusted and id_rsa_untrusted.pub [00:49] so run ssh-keygen on A, right ? [00:49] wait I'm doing it as you say [00:49] so the first step is to run ssh-keygen on A ? [00:49] kristenB, yes. give B id_rsa_untrusted and add a line to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys that starts "command=/bin/false " and follows with the contents of id_rsa_untrusted.pub [00:50] so I typed ssh-keygen. It asks me where to save it and seems to give me a default path. Should I just type 'enter' ? [00:50] kristenB, no call it untrusted [00:51] kristenB, you dont want to confuse this key with YOUR key. this is an untrusted identity [00:51] ActionParsnip: i own an n64 and a usb->n64 adapter mupen64plus is amazing. [00:51] it says "Enter file in which to save the key (/home/kristen/.ssh/id_rsa):" should I type the whole path ? [00:52] zykotick9: n64 is 6 GBP... [00:52] should I type 'id_rsa_untrusted' or '/home/kristen/.ssh/id_rsa_untrusted' ? [00:52] kristenB, sure otherwise it will save it to your ~ (or whatever folder you are currently in) [00:52] I should type '/home/kristen/.ssh/id_rsa_untrusted' then? === studio is now known as deepspeed [00:53] kristenB, sure [00:53] now it asks for a passphrase [00:53] ActionParsnip: check out the prices for new n64 games. i own a boxed copy of "Pocky & Rocky 2" that i got from a 2nd hand thrift sort for nothing - and it's probably worth $500+ ;) [00:53] kristenB, this is a password for the key. you would need to give any such password to B, or you can just press [ENTER] to leave it passwordless [00:54] ActionParsnip: sorry Pocky & Rocky 2 is an SNES game [00:55] ok, I chose a password. The shell returned. What now ? [00:55] I need to give this key to B, right ? [00:55] kristenB, now "ls -l ~/.ssh" should show the untrusted rsa file [00:55] kristenB, lets do some other stuff to make sure it works the way we want [00:55] vidalia can't connect to the debian-tor instance of tor that's launched by init, if I kill it vidalia can launch its own tor and work fine: How can I get it so I don't have to kill the debian-tor tor after starting up? === Mike is now known as Guest97011 [00:56] kristenB, "cd .ssh" and then "cat id_rsa_untrusted.pub" just so you know what the public key looks like, and "cat id_rsa_untrusted.pub >> authorized_keys" to add it, and "ssh -i id_rsa_untrusted localhost" to verify that your authkeys is working to allow login [00:58] kristenB, if that was done correctly you should have gotten an ssh login without being asked for your password (not what we want for B, but it means that auth keys is working) [00:58] what is -i in ssh ? [00:59] kristenB, it specifies what identify file to use. by default it uses ~/.ssh/id_rsa [00:59] kristenB: the identity to use. as "man ssh" will tell you :o) [00:59] escott, moving the partition start is warned against even by parted itself On top of that it seems that this WD-EARX (Green) drive has an annoying "feature" that causes it to park every 10 seconds when not using Windows causing the @!# drive to fai within a year. I'll never buy these drives again. [00:59] matreya6, the second should be something you can deal with through hdparm [01:00] well as a matter of fact it did ask for a password [01:00] kristenB, but was it the password for the id_rsa_untrusted or YOUR password [01:00] mine [01:00] escott, no, because it is in the firmware of the drives itself, which can only be interfaced using a Windows driver directly form WD [01:01] kristenB, ssh -v -i id_rsa_untrusted localhost will explain what ssh is doing. could you paste the output of that [01:01] !paste | kristenB [01:01] kristenB: 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. [01:03] but I didn't choose any password when prompted by ssh-keygen, maybe that's because of that [01:03] How would I go about wiping a drive completely with as many pases as possible, I'm handing out a computer to a friend and I have bank data on the drive which I want to be completely wiped [01:03] and not recoverable by any means? [01:03] there's no need to set a password, because only reverse will be allowed anyway [01:03] kristenB, no. its something else. maybe the permissions of auth_keys are too open. what is ls -l ~/.ssh/authorized_keys say? [01:04] -rw-rw-r-- [01:04] xaviergmail google gives quite a few programs :X [01:04] xaviergmail: a single wipe is currently not recoverable by any means but you can overwrite using dd and urandom a couple of times if you want [01:04] kristenB, thats the problem. chmod 600 authorized_keys [01:05] For complete destruction, I believe It's something like 30 over-writes? [01:05] I read somewhere that 7 pass wipe is the standard for us government [01:05] Not quite [01:05] and a friend told me 32 pass is overkill but completely safe [01:05] yerp [01:05] escott: well even after chmod, ssh -i id_rsa_untrusted localhost still asks for a password [01:05] the thing is google failed me on a 32 pass drive wiper [01:06] kristenB, then throw some -v's in there and paste it over to us [01:06] its not necessarily overkill. depends on how safe you want your data [01:06] I want it as safe as possible [01:08] kristenB, ssh -vv -i id_rsa... [01:09] hello [01:09] escott: yes I'm doing it [01:09] xaviergmail: single pass is al you need [01:09] xaviergmail: you can use dd to echo 0s to the drive from start to end [01:10] http://pastebin.com/fJhr3G1X [01:11] ActionParsnip: isn't a single pass recoverable by a magnetic something method? [01:11] kristenB, weird. its offering the key, but its not being accepted. what does "ls -l ~/.ssh" say [01:11] xaviergmail: no, the info you have is waaay out of date about needing multiple wipes [01:12] xaviergmail: you could wipe with 1s then 0s if you really want but a single sweep is sufficient [01:12] xaviergmail: probably not for last few decades. The data density is too high today for there to be any sense of meaningful residual magnetic stuff to recover. Or whatever the original theory was. [01:12] The files are authorized_keys (rw-------) id_rsa_untrusted (rw---------) id_rsa_untrusted.pub (-rw-r--r--) and known_hosts (-rw-r--r--) [01:12] alankila: not seen anyone ask about this stuff in years now :) [01:13] the point is, these days we're lucky to get the original data back when we try to read it, because redundancies are getting too low for reliable operation. [01:13] xaviergmail, test it yourself with testdisk: if testdisk can find anything, it will find it immidiatly. [01:13] ActionParsnip: Alright I'll do a 2 pass wipe with 1's and 0's, I'm paranoid like that :P [01:13] kristenB, and authorized_keys is the same as id_rsa_untrusted.pub. "diff authorized_keys id_rsa_untrusted.pub" should say no differences [01:14] and I'll try that oer, thanks [01:14] no it's not [01:15] kristenB, ok. id_rsa_untrusted.pub should be one of the lines of authorized_keys (did you cat id_rsa_untrusted >> authorized_keys instead of .pub by chance?) [01:15] xaviergmail: i'd just smash up the drive and buy new if yu have that many tinfoil hats [01:16] xaviergmail: drives are cheap [01:16] also whatever you write it's going to get encoded into some semiregularly flipping magnetic field based on some encoding. It is not true that if you write 0 somehow the entire disk gets magnetized to north or south orientation. Regardless what you write, at the platter level there will be polarity swaps because to recover the information at all, the field polarity must change regularly. [01:16] escott: woopsie [01:16] escott: sorry about that, you're right, let me correct that [01:17] kristenB, its easy to get the two confused :). you can just delete the authorized_keys file and try again. don't forget to chmod 600 the auth keys file [01:17] this is because the disk is spinning at some speed which is not known exactly, and too long runs of no change of polarity are difficult to detect. Was that 500 0-bits I just read, or 501? You get the idea, hopefully. [01:17] ok it works now [01:17] no password asked [01:17] what's the next step then ? [01:17] I guess [01:17] thanks guys [01:18] kristenB, so thats clearly not what you want. so you now open authorized_keys in an editor [01:18] done [01:18] Hi. I want to route audio from different applications to different sound card outputs. I have a USB 5.1 channel sound module plus the onboard audio card so theoretically I could have 8 channels of output. Which software would I use? In particular, I want to use one audio player such as rhythm box to preview songs to headphones and another player like banshee or audacious to play songs to loudspeakers [01:19] kristenB, before the ssh-rsa you can put various things. in this case put 'command=/bin/false,from="B's ip if known",no-X11-forwarding,noagent-forwarding' [01:20] hello [01:21] kristenB, that should probably be no-agent-forwarding (check the ssh man page for the various options). but now the ssh -i command should login and immediately exit === matts is now known as Guest43927 [01:22] kristenB, and if you tried to specify a command like ssh -i ... -C /bin/bash it shouldn't let you [01:23] hi all. are any people have problems with ubuntu server 10.04? we seem to have had about 10 of our servers bomb out at 00:00(UTC) - 2 hours ago with very high load and processes exhibit really high cpu [01:23] what does no-agent-forwarding mean ? [01:24] jfujuweijfdfh: hmm, could it be the leap second thing? [01:24] alankila: whats that then? pardon my ignorance [01:25] kristenB, suppose B has a key to access C, and wants to connect through A without giving A the key. he can forward his agent and then its as if his key was on A, but it really never leaves B [01:25] jfujuweijfdfh: they inserted a leap second at end of June [01:26] escott: as far as quotes go, should it be of the form: ssh-rsa command=/bin/false,from="0.0.0.0",no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding ABCD...rest_of_the_key [01:26] kristenB, long and short you probably want to say no to most things that B might want to use [01:26] jfujuweijfdfh: the timing matches for 00:00 as that would be the insertion time, I suppose [01:26] or it might be. I'm not 100% sure how the process works. [01:26] kristenB, from=0.0.0.0 is going to stop everyone from using that line [01:26] kristenB, if you don't know B's address then leave the from clause out [01:26] I know I meant just the syntax [01:26] alankila: ah interesting. im wondering if it is unlikely to be an ubuntu thing if no one else has raised it - im guessing theres no talk of it on here [01:27] kristenB, and all that comes before the ssh-rsa bit [01:27] the quotes, are they correct [01:27] jfujuweijfdfh: I heard that old kernels -- was it 2.6.28 and earlier -- may actually crash trying to handle the leap second [01:27] kristenB, the ssh-rsa identifies the format of the hexkey [01:27] I uninstalled empathy but I still have those availability options ( available, away, offline) under my messaging menu, How can I remove those? ubuntu 12.04 [01:27] kristenB, your quotes are fine [01:28] ok the file has been edited [01:28] what now [01:28] I could try that I can't indeed access loopback like I was able to before, right? [01:28] kristenB, try your ssh -i and you should be rejected based on the from clause [01:28] kpl: may have to log off and on [01:28] hi all, need some help, i am running lightty(thAT is not running at the moment) and i direct my brower to my website, i get not found, but the signiture line says apache 2.0 .. why, i don't have apache installed [01:29] well now it's asking for a password again, is that expected ? [01:29] Didn't work out ActionParsnip , But thanx for the response [01:29] kristenB, make the from clause 127.0.0.1 and try again and you should be able to login, but you immediately disconnect because your shell is /bin/false [01:29] alankila: we are on 2.6.32 so fairly close [01:29] kristenB, so its skipping that line because the from doesn't match [01:29] jfujuweijfdfh: well, that is one specific bug. Perhaps you hit some other bug. [01:29] okay [01:30] I would like it to be even more severe than that [01:30] rather than just going back to the password level, I would like my computer to refuse the ssh connection [01:30] is that not possible ? [01:30] kristenB, you can disable password login [01:30] it definitely seems to be a time based thing as the load shot up at midnight utc. rebooting the boxes work so i guess the leap second could be an explanation; whether it is a kernel thing or something else we are running, im not sure [01:30] yes [01:30] just for that key? [01:30] a leap second was inserted [01:31] reboot fixes the problem. [01:31] seems to be a kernel bug to do with threading. [01:31] time is a dangerous thing, it seems. Mess with it and all systems break. [01:31] escott: just for that key? [01:31] kristenB, thats not really meaningful. thats like saying. "i see you have a key, but it doesn't fit and i'm not allowed to ask a password when you have a key" well in that case the next time i come to the door i'll just say "i dont have a key" [01:32] i see what you mean [01:32] makes sense :) [01:32] anyone use jolicloud? [01:33] kristenB, what you really want is to disable password login outside of your subnet in /etc/sshd_config [01:33] let me try to modify 'from' and see how it goes [01:33] Another reported, although somewhat inexplicable, crash related to the leap second insertion: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/30/122 [01:33] instead of using zenity id like to use that gui widget i guess its what its called.. the one the networkmanager uses when you connect and disconnect internet [01:34] whats the name of that, how can i use that widget instead of zenity for my scripts [01:34] escott: I'm not sure I would want that. Because then I wouldn't be able to connect from elsewhere without having exchanged the keys previously. But it's okay my password is really strong and the port has been changed [01:34] fellayaboy: notify-osd [01:34] thank u [01:34] fellayaboy: notify-osd [01:34] Hmm I definitely see loads going up at UTC 00:00 here too [01:34] fellayaboy: So you probably want to use notify-send. [01:35] kristenB, you can also carry an id_rsa around on a usb keychain, and keep your key with your keys [01:35] three virtual machines appear to be suffering from high cpu usage. Oh lovely. [01:35] Jordan_U theres no issues using that for the purpose of just echoing a line of text is there [01:36] escott: true, ok I'll do that [01:36] escott: the fact is I always have a usb key with me [01:36] alankila: seems to be a bug https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=360514&tstart=0 [01:37] 1.8 Million context switches. woot. [01:37] other ppl talking about cpu steal [01:37] kristenB, if you are security conscious thats the best practice, but it is a bit of a pain [01:37] fellayaboy: None that I can think of, though I don't know your specific use yet. [01:37] escott: I've changed 'from' to 127.0.0.1 but I'm still being asked for a password ? [01:38] just to echo if an exit status is 0 or 1..if 0 then echo success if not then something went wrong..etc [01:38] fellayaboy: eg: notify-send 'Test Message' 'Great success!!' [01:38] allllriight great success [01:38] fellayaboy: I like!! [01:38] kristenB, im not too sure how the from line works. maybe it wants localhost there... [01:38] can i draw 2 thumbs up with a mustached man [01:38] lol [01:38] fellayaboy: there is an option for an image in notify-send :) [01:39] escott: as a matter of fact I've just tried without 'from', it also asks me for a password... [01:39] no way [01:39] fellayaboy: way [01:39] let me check the man page [01:39] kristenB, what does the auth_keys line look like (you can safely paste it here since it only has the public part of the key) [01:39] lol the icon [01:40] ima test it brb [01:40] fellayaboy: notify-send 'Test Message' 'Great success' -i ~/Pictures/wawaweewa.png [01:40] nice nice thank u [01:40] Does anyone know if there's a way to use dual monitors with a kvm virtual machine? [01:40] so just to be clear as to what I'm doing, what I have in authorized_keys is command=/bin/false,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding ssh-rsa ABCD..rest_of_the_key... kristen@pc [01:40] well this was poor showing from linux's part. I have mysqlds and java processes showing high cpu usage here [01:40] all rebooted by now though [01:41] and then I'm doing ssh -i id_rsa_untrusted localhost [01:41] kristenB, that looks ok [01:41] alankila: is it oracle's java? [01:41] openjdk [01:41] alankila: any bugs reported for either? [01:41] Is there a way to fix the leap second load without a reboot [01:42] David_Miller: could sync to an ntp server [01:42] actually I've tried different things, and I've found out that only removing command=/bin/false permits to log in without password === jono is now known as Guest4065 [01:43] I am synced, that is the problem :) [01:43] aren't people in this channell getting the 100% load issue? [01:43] looks like restarting mysqld does not even fix it. Do I really have to reboot this machine to recover from this [01:43] it just goes right back to the 100% cpu use [01:43] kristenB, i think i know what might be happening. try ssh -i ... -C /bin/false [01:43] alankila: let me know if you find out [01:43] and i'll do the same [01:43] I tried stoping/starting all my services [01:43] alankila: maybe its the leap second thing [01:44] sure it is [01:44] started right after the 00:00 UTC [01:44] alankila: then if its convenient, reboot [01:44] It's not convenient :) [01:44] alankila: or submit an emergency change then reboot [01:44] haloo [01:44] escott: doesn't work either [01:44] ha golden Actionparsnip...im adding that borat to my script [01:44] it worked [01:44] fellayaboy: nice! [01:45] morninggg [01:45] ima go read up more thank u for ur help guys [01:45] fellayaboy: but when will jack be here? [01:45] jack? [01:45] halo my name is aida :) [01:46] halo tasmania [01:46] hey. [01:46] alankila, i find just rebooting and saying the machine rebooted is much easier than getting approval to do so. ;) [01:46] later dudes [01:47] where do you laive my friends?? [01:47] I have rebooted 80 machines thus far. Fingers hurt. [01:47] so why does reboot fix it? [01:47] well it's mildly inconvenient to have to reboot for this [01:48] well, I guess it can't be helped. What a bummer. [01:49] kristenB, try putting /bin/false inside quotes [01:49] poooooki: im sorry :( [01:49] kristenB, apparently thats necessary [01:49] we are going to have to do reboots remotely which is always scary [01:49] escott: where [01:49] kristenB, command="/bin/false" [01:49] escott: in -C or in auth_keys ? [01:50] kristenB, and then it shoudl just work. the -C is unnecessary [01:50] escott: I'm afraid it still doesn't work, I've just tried it [01:50] well, that took care of that [01:50] escott: not even with -C [01:51] kristenB, so your auth keys looks like 'command="/bin/false",no.... ssh-rsa ...' [01:51] escott: nor -C '/bin/false' [01:51] escott: no it's not like that, i had single quotes [01:51] escott: let me try double [01:52] kristenB, it needs to be double quotes [01:52] alankila, i trust everything came back up ok? [01:52] yeah it only took a reboot [01:52] I am Chinese, but I am using an English Ubuntu Desktop System,what can I do as the input method switcher always strike after I reboot ? [01:53] escott: ok it works now. Thanks :). It closes right away though. That's because I didn't use -C, right ? [01:53] leap seconds thank god they ruin your day === xezexal is now known as SolarAquarion [01:53] kristenB, no thats because the shell is /bin/false [01:53] hi yall how can u change the login manager from lxdm back to the default?? [01:53] kristenB, you can try any -C command you want. it will be ignored. the shell is /bin/false. and it immediately returns. the user cannot DO anything with that key. it opens to a brick wall [01:54] still, I guess the joke is on us. If windows has to be rebooted because mouse pointer was moved, at least that is something that the user did. This time the clocks were adjusted via NTP and linux had to be rebooted. [01:54] kristenB, but with a master control file you should be able to use that open connection to reverse ssh out === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang === tensorpudding_ is now known as tensorpudding === shadowh511 is now known as tits [01:55] escott: hmm, there's a slight difference though. If I don't add -C, it ouputs 'Connection to localhost closed.'. However, if I add -C /bin/ls, it doesn't output anything. Why doesn't it output the same message ? === tits is now known as shadowh511 [01:55] I'll be interested to read the scoop about this tomorrow [01:56] kristenB, so on B set "Host * ControlMaster auto ControlPath /tmp/ssh_%r@%h:%p ControlPersist 4h" in ~/.ssh/config and it when B starts the connection to A he opens the channel but cant do anything. the channel stays open for 4 hours [01:57] kristenB, probably because with -C ssh is not supposed to be interactive so the ssh client does not generate the message that says "your session was closed" that would confuse an application that tried to parse the output of an ssh -C command [01:57] hi yall how can u change the login manager from lxdm back to the default manager?? [01:57] I see [01:58] ok so now I'm supposed to go to B, right ? [01:58] fuzzynurfhurter: which ubuntu version? [01:58] is anybody familiar with mkisofs? [01:58] kristenB, yes. now you can give the untrusted key to B, and setup B to use a control file and persist the connection, and to use the untrusted id file to connect to your system [01:59] so the first step is to give *.pub to B, right ? [02:00] kristenB, no give it the key itself (you can give anyone the pub, but B needs the private key) [02:00] what's the use of the public key then? [02:00] kristenB, anyone can have the *.pub (and you should feel happy giving it out) the other file is the real key, the pub is what the key fits into [02:01] kristenB, mathematically its a bit more complicated, but someone with id_rsa.pub can generate a challenge that only someone with id_rsa can solve [02:01] as far as ssh is concerned though [02:02] kristenB, so you give me your id_rsa.pub, and then i challenge you and say "solve this" if you can then you have id_rsa, if you cant then you dont [02:02] in what use case would it be useful to give the public key as far as ssh is concerned? [02:02] is there an issue with ubuntu and leap second? [02:02] kristenB, the pub keys go on the machines you want to have access to. the private keys stay on the machines that need access [02:03] right [02:03] What do I use now instead of chkconfig? [02:03] hi all [02:03] ok so let's copy it from A to B. [02:03] kristenB, i could say "put this in your authorized_keys" and if you were stupid enough to do so I would have access to your machine. no skin off my back ssh-rsa AAAAB3N.... [02:03] naptastic: update-rc.d [02:03] Corey, thank you! [02:03] naptastic: no worries. [02:04] I just installed ubuntu but the system didn't create my user for me. instead I get "guest" login [02:04] how can i add or create a new user ? [02:04] bunty: useradd [02:04] alankila: its good to clear RAM and possibly boot to new kernel etc [02:05] sudo useradd newuser doesn't work bc user "guest" isn't in the sudo list [02:05] bunty: Uh... is there a ubuntu user? [02:05] bunty: ls /ome [02:05] Er, /home [02:05] bunty: you can reboot to root recovery mode and make a user there, the Ubuntu install process asks you to make a user which you can now log in with, sounds like you aren't using ubuntu [02:06] yes it did [02:06] I made the user bunty but .... it's not there [02:06] is anybody familiar with mkisofs? [02:06] !anyone | WeThePeople [02:06] WeThePeople: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [02:07] bunty: so your user that you made isn't in the user list in thelogin screen? [02:08] correct [02:08] bunty: let me search === drrob1_ is now known as drrob1 [02:08] escott: ok i've copied id_rsa_untrusted to B. [02:08] i cannot play my DVD [02:09] it says i need to install gstreamer stuff but it then gives me an error message [02:09] how do i make a iso from a folder using mkisofs? [02:09] !dvd | Jagst3r15 [02:09] Jagst3r15: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

[02:10] escott: now that I'm thinking about it, wouldn't it have been more logical to generate that key in B, and send the public part to A ? [02:10] Jagst3r15: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:10] ok I think I will load the CD again and mount the /target and add the user. === michael is now known as Guest52469 [02:10] rinzler: xubuntu-desktop or xfce [02:10] how do I add a user to the sudo list ? [02:10] bunty: if you log off and press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in as bunty there, you can run: echo "greeter-hide-users=true" | sudo tee -a /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [02:10] bunty: visudo [02:11] bunty: adduser $NAME admin [02:11] bunty: then run: sudo reboot and you can type your username to log in with [02:11] mneptok: does that include all the packages necessary? [02:11] kristenB, you could do that if you wanted, but i would discourage B from using this as his key. if he decides to change keys then you have to change keys. its easier if you control the key and just tell him to use it [02:11] rinzler: yes [02:11] I gotta create a link in my ubuntu lamp setup to a directory outside of /var/www/ how would i do this? [02:11] mneptok: Ok. Thanks! [02:11] symlink chamunks [02:11] rinzler: xubuntu-desktop is all the Xubuntu apps. xfce is the DE only. [02:11] see ln cmd [02:11] kristenB, normally yes. B would have his key and ask you to make if fit in your lock (give you the .pub) but this isn't HIS key its really YOUR key [02:11] mneptok thanks! [02:11] escott: ok in any case the copy is done, what's the next step ? [02:11] mneptok: perfect. Thanks! [02:12] escott: I see. Thanks for the explanation [02:12] Pecker, i tried "sudo ln -s ./ /var/www/get/ch/ [02:12] " [02:12] rinzler: xfce4 is the package for a minimal xfce DE [02:12] How can I find out if the ASUS P9X79 DELUXE motherboard will work with Ubuntu? [02:13] ok bbiab [02:13] um then check to see if the link points to right place [02:13] hi, my netbook doesn't turn off speakers when I plug a headphone in. my girlfriend's netbook is the same model, and same ubuntu release (11.10) and it works there. I messed around with alsa configs some releases ago but don't know which files I should revert. Does anyone know where should I look to fix this? [02:13] kristenB: first of all, in B, where do I have to put that key ? [02:13] seesmto me you didnt give it the right link to go to though [02:13] escott: first of all, in B, where do I have to put that key ? [02:13] Pecker: file /path/to/link [02:14] kristenB, best to put it in ~/.ssh. then make his ~/.ssh/config look like http://paste.ubuntu.com/1068727/ [02:14] Doug2710, search for compatible hardware ubuntu. there's a site that lists a good amount of gear and its friendly status with ubuntu [02:14] thanks, I'll give it a shot [02:15] escott: right now there's no file named config. Should I create an empty one or import /etc/ssh/config ? [02:15] WeThePeople, mkisofs -o file.iso folder [02:15] kristenB, you can create one [02:16] kristenB, /tmp/ssh_%u.... may not be appropriate for that system. you should think about whether or not that is desirable [02:16] kristenB: won't it be /etc/ssh/sshd_config [02:16] hi, does anyone know a CLI video conferencing tool ? Skype's not keyboard friendly… [02:17] ActionParsnip: maybe it was just from memory :) [02:17] Pecker, im not sure how to do that. [02:17] escott: so could you give me a short explanation as to what each line does so that i'm usre it corresponds to my issue ? [02:17] im kind of suggesting if i knew how to do that I'd ... maybe do it or if i had a clue what to look for i'd look for it. [02:17] kristenB, the way this controlmaster stuff works is that when he starts the connection it creates a file /tmp/ssh_user@host:port which is a handle and allows future ssh connections to use that same channel. [02:17] hey guys, i need some help. i got a raid card in my computer, old thing i scored from an old dell precision 620.

Where is that file created, in A or B? [02:18] kristenB, the concern would be that anyone can see that filename, and root can read that file and control the channel (not that root@B can do anything to you@A) [02:18] I'm back [02:18] lol [02:18] kristenB, it creates it on B [02:18] ActionParsnip, im not looking for a softraid. I already got the radio up and going.. just cant get ubuntu to SEE it as a raid... is there a driver im missing? [02:18] I gotta create a link in my ubuntu lamp setup to a directory outside of /var/www/ how would i do this? [02:18] chamunks: sudo ln -sfn /target/folder /folder/to/put/link/in/and/its/name [02:19] sorry thanks boss. [02:19] i appreciate it. [02:19] I'll look into the details about how this works when i do it :) [02:19] escott: I don't really understand the purpose of that file. [02:19] kristenB, if there were 2000 people on this machine then the existence of /tmp/ssh_... would publicize the existence of YOUR machine and YOUR username which might concern you [02:19] yeah see 'man ln' for more [02:19] How can I disable gnome and keep xorg in 12.04 LTS? [02:19] When I kill a process in system monitor it says this could introduce a security risk: What security risk? [02:20] thanks alot [02:20] kristenB, right now when B ssh'es to A it runs /bin/false which closes immediately, giving you not time to reverse the connection. we need B to keep his channel open for a while [02:20] sunshinehappy: depends on what data the app was using [02:20] usually safe to ingore message [02:20] is there a guide to whether or not it's safe to kill certain processes? [02:20] escott: oh I see. [02:21] what process is giving you fite [02:21] fits* [02:21] kristenB, so we are setting up B to use this feature to persist all his connections for up to four hours (its also just a useful feature in general), so we enable connection sharing so all of B's connections to host X will be shared (which is more efficient) but it needs a file handle to run everything through [02:21] hi, my netbook doesn't turn off speakers when I plug a headphone in. my girlfriend's netbook is the same model, and same ubuntu release (11.10) and it works there.

[02:22] flab: question is [02:22] philsf: why was that not in your initial question? [02:22] flab, what's wrong? [02:22] kristenB, and the concern would be is "/tmp" the right place for B to keep his personal ssh persistence files. ideally you would have a /tmp for that specific user, so you could to /tmp/myusername/ thats not a bad place, but the desired config is really up to the sysadmin ofB [02:22] ActionParsnip, sorry for that. I didn't think it was relevant, since it's not a hardware problem, just a misconfig issue [02:23] A little concerned with the leap second problem. I'm running Precise on 3.2.0-26-generic-pae, anyone know if it's affected? [02:23] philsf: its the make and model of the system, so its very relevant [02:23] i think i am having serious problems...i was doing an upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 and i became under the impression that i had to restart my computer in order for the process to continue... [02:23] escott, how do i specify the folder location, its on my desktop..thats the part i have trouble with [02:23] escott: I see. How about /home/Bname/tmp ?

[02:23] so i tried to restart and now i cant access my desktop [02:24] kristenB, /home/Bname/tmp won't be cleared on reboot, which would cause problems if he crashed because he would need to clear his personal /tmp. better would be a /tmp/Bname [02:24] roflmao http://bit.ly/z7Ja9f [02:24] WeThePeople, mkisofs -o ~/Desktop/output.iso ~/Desktop/folder [02:24] java web start is putting an icon on my desktop every time I launch it, how can I stop it creating the desktop icon?

[02:25] escott: I see. Well that was just for my information, in reality I'm also the only user on B, so I can put it in /tmp. [02:25] escott: but what's the use of that persistent file ? Couldn't I do without ? [02:25] nice [02:26] philsf: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* [02:26] philsf: wait 10 seconds then reboot [02:26] kristenB, you need the file for controlmaster auto to work. auto first checks if that file exists, and if it doesn't creates the connection, otherwise it uses the connection. ControlMaster auto is really great stuff and should be the default (the only concern is this control file in /tmp) [02:28] kristenB, you can also specify the control file on the CLI. so if you wanted to add this to something like /etc/rc.local then you could specify a control file in the command or hard code it within the Host section of the config file [02:28] escott: what I also don't understand is the IdentityFile part. Is this file's content shared on the network unencrypted before the encryption takes place ? [02:28] ActionParsnip, ok, will try. if this works, should I be able to revert to pristine packages instead of those from the ppa? [02:28] Hello [02:29] philsf: the ppa givs you a later alsa which can help as the defaults are old, it may help. The command is from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [02:29] kristenB, we are just hardcoding the -i id_rsa_untrusted bit with the IdentifyFile line [02:29] philsf: I just re-jig it to be nicer [02:30] my upgrade to 12:04 has stopped mid-upgrade ... :( ... I think it lost the internet for an extended period.. is there anyway to get it going again? ... It is in the "install the upgrades" action. [02:30] escott: I know. But that -i option, is it passed unencrypted over the wire ? [02:30] ActionParsnip, ok, thanks. I'll return in a while to report. [02:31] kristenB, no. nothing in ssh is ever done unencrypted, and keys are in fact never passed in either direction. its all based on diffie hellman and public private key signatures [02:31] escott: okay. [02:32] is there anyway to restart a cysco router from terminal imput? [02:32] kristenB, theoretically there is no danger in your doing ssh user@blackhate.site === newbie is now known as Guest34931 [02:33] escott: yes that's somehow what I want to reproduce, B isn't a safe place; [02:33] kristenB: it's work, actually [02:35] kristenB, worst case someone (your boss) compromises B and gets id_rsa_untrusted, but all he can do is establish a connection to your computer. he can't do anything with that connection [02:35] yes that's exactly what I want :) [02:35] so sorry for asking again, but it hasn't pierced into my brain just yet. Why would we need a temporary file ? [02:36] escott: is there anyway to restart a cysco router from terminal input? [02:36] evilytwisted: question better asked in ##networking === ztag100 is now known as ztag100|protest [02:37] kristenB, so you want this connection to persist. and there are other ways to persist it other than control master, but control master is really useful and it works here [02:37] kristenB, im not sure what you gain by doing otherwise [02:38] escott: but what if I just used (from B): ssh -nrR A [02:38] so many peoples here! [02:38] escott: but what if I just used (from B): ssh -nrR 2000:127.0.0.1:22 A [02:39] helloworld: this is not a toy. [02:39] hi guys how do i kill movie play, it won't exit and wont play [02:39] use a sledge hammer? [02:39] then a clawhammer? [02:39] and then from A, a few hours later, ssh -p 2000 127.0.0.1 [02:39] kristenB, you could try without the control master. it might not be necessary. i've never used reverse connections. [02:40] hi guys how do i kill movie playerer, it won't exit and wont play [02:40] hi all. An hour ago, I noticed that flash and unity were lagging. Tried restarting, then looked at the additional drivers section, and saw that fglrx has been uninstalled. I tried enabling it again, but it failed, and told me to check jockey.log. Never seen this log before, what should I be looking for? [02:40] !behelpful | evilytwisted [02:40] evilytwisted: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [02:40] escott: what's exactly the advantage of using a control master ? [02:40] sorry [02:40] escott: apart from, maybe, keeping the connection alive [02:40] kristenB, my concern would be what makes the B connection persist? and i know with a control master you can make it persist. there may be other ways. perhaps you can directly specify the persistence of the connection in the Host section [02:41] I think I would want it to indefinitely persist [02:42] in other words, I would want to be able to access B from A at any given time, and not just within 4 hours of living B [02:42] kristenB, http://www.vdomck.org/2005/11/reversing-ssh-connection.html [02:42] kristenB, well you can tune that 4 hours, you could even have a script running on B that checks if the control master file is there, and if its not restarts the connection [02:43] kristenB, or set the persistence for 4 hours and open the connection every hour [02:43] escott: (I've already successfully achieved the reverse connection, and all this chat was about securing the access so that it could be used as a reverse connection and nothing more) [02:44] kristenB, i know more about the auth keys than i do about the reverse connection stuff, but its up to both ends to keep that thing alive [02:45] kristenB, controlmaster is nice because it would be the same connection that you would be keeping alive. you wouldn't have to worry about "do i need to make a new connection, or do i need to reset the timeout on the existing one?" [02:45] wow [02:45] i'd just like to say i've always been really really against gnome and ubuntu because i thoght they oversimplified everything and didn't really provide any good innovations [02:45] but with 12.04 and unity i'm amazed [02:45] escott: I see. And could I set the time to indefinite or infinity ? [02:46] i just installed in on the c omp for my mom and dad (who have never been able to grasp windows or mac or kde or gnome in the past) [02:46] and they just immediately got it, it did what they expected when they expected it [02:46] gsr lspci -nn | grep VGA please.

[02:48] my upgrade to 12:04 has stopped mid-upgrade ... :( ... I think it lost the internet for an extended period.. is there anyway to get it going again? ... It is in the "install the upgrades" action. [02:49] highlander-base: no, some folks diont backup [02:49] help please : I've got the alternate installer. Went for the assisted partition scheme woth full disk lvm+luks. Then I am trying to resize /boot and dmcrypt, therefore need to remove the default vg... but this seems like it cannot be done [02:49] looking at lvm cli tools from tty2, I can see it's gone, but the installer pretends it's still there no matter what I do... [02:50] ActionParsnip: well its the right move, i keep my files in 2 redundant places locally, i dont use a cloud because i dont like having my things out there but for most people its an easy solution to a really common problem, i dont know many people who havent lost massive amounts of personal data to a harddrive failure [02:50] [...] is the only solution to manually remove them and restart the whole installer ? [02:50] and its awesome that ubuntu is giving them a bit of space to do that for free built in integrated with their folders [02:51] [...] and then, choose manual scheme instead of partition scheme ? [02:51] L3top: and my /var/log/jockey.log file -> http://pastebin.com/YSv1TS9x [02:51] hello, im looking to install ubuntu. I plan to use computer as simple server but i want the gui for setting up things like drivers and using web browser, how can i set up ubunutu without install things like libreoffice [02:51] I WANAA RING IN A CSS SCRIM [02:51] gsr sorry... having some issues on my end here... one second please. [02:52] L3top, no worries, ping when convenient [02:52] I WANAA RING IN A CSS SCRIM [02:52] how [02:52] [...] so I removed the lvs, that's fine, then the vg says 0 lvs, looks good, but dmcrpt can't be removed because t says the vg s still there [02:53] [...] looks like the option to remove a vg is just missing ? [02:55] gsr was that the complete output of the lspci I asked for? [02:55] i killed Movie Player bcos it wasnt responding, now i want to re-run it. When i clicked the icon in the lens it shows in panel blinks for few seconds and disappear not launches... any1 know why? [02:55] L3top, yes [02:55] kristenB, apparently ControlPersist yes is indefinite [02:55] ActionParsnip, your tip worked. now jack sense works as expected. thank you very much [02:56] kristenB, http://who-t.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html [02:56] tking, launch it from a terminal, see what it outputs [02:56] escott: What I had working, before all this key stuff, was ssh -nrR 2000:127.0.0.1:22 A. I know added -i .ssh/id_rsa_untrusted, and also -f because that was always a pain in the ass to have to manually call bg and disown. When I did so, I got a warning that said Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port 2000". [02:56] gsr, i don't know the name for it in terminal [02:57] escott: typo: ...I now* added... [02:57] kristenB, i wonder if it needs to run something on the remote server to setup the port forwarding. [02:57] gsr, i tried mplayer, also tried Movie Player [02:58] tking, totem [02:58] kristenB, you might need to change /bin/false to something that setups up a netcat to forward the port manually === HyperNerdV2_ is now known as HyperNerdV2 === ztag100|protest is now known as ztag100 [02:59] gsr i typed totem nothing happened just went to nxt line (blank without my user@...PC$) [02:59] gsr ths is what it says Timeout was reachedtking@TKing-HP-PC:~$ [03:00] escott: so what you're saying is that I should create a script from A, and then modify A's file 'authorized_keys' to command="script", so that B can only execute that script from ssh, and that this script is actually the one that would do port forwarding ? [03:00] [...] That really looks like a bug : despite even removing the pv from tty2, and re-detecting the disks, it still finds the lvm ! [03:00] my upgrade to 12:04 has stopped mid-upgrade ... :( ... I think it lost the internet for an extended period.. is there anyway to get it going again? ... It is in the "install the upgrades" action.... I really need to get the install finished. [03:00] kristenB, maybe. i don't know what is happening on A when B requests the port forwarding [03:00] gsr I do not believe your card is supported by the fglrx drivers in 1204. I know they are not supported in the new version... trying to discern what version is what and when they dropped support for yours specifically. Some of the hd 4k series are still supported, but I am pretty sure anything older than Rx800 is no longer supported in the recent ones. [03:01] L3top, but I upgraded to 12.04 a few months ago, only started with this problem today [03:01] ohai lol [03:02] can I go back to the previous version? [03:02] I installed Ubuntu :3 [03:02] can I reboot and start the upgrade again? [03:02] kristenB, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8021/allow-user-to-set-up-an-ssh-tunnel-but-nothing-else [03:03] That does not change the fact. Even if they worked to a degree, it is only a matter of time until they break, and I am not sure that you have been using the fglrx driver at all, simply it has been present. I think what you ran into is the various conflicts that exist using the radeon driver when fglrx is present. [03:03] gsr^ [03:03] kristenB, it looks like all you need is this "permitopen" declaration in your authorized_keys [03:03] with or without /bin/false? [03:04] tking: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/883824 only bug I could find that looks related. [03:04] Launchpad bug 883824 in eog (Ubuntu) "eye of gnome doesn't start" [High,Invalid] [03:04] kristenB, with. unless that doesn't work, but the command= is what is preventing them from getting shell on your machine. no-pty is also something you should add [03:05] if I understand correctly, reverse ssh is just a particular case of a ssh tunnel ? [03:05] kristenB, yes [03:05] gsr: I am not positive that is correct now. Let me continue to dig. I think it is only 12-5 and forward yours was dropped on. [03:05] and what's a ssh tunnel then exactly ? :/ [03:06] L3top, fglrx was definitely installed and working fine. It was running 3D games, multiple screens and movies - i don't think that the free drivers are capable of that [03:06] kristenB: secures normally unsecure protocols [03:06] kristenB, its a reverse ssh tunnel but reversed :) [03:06] they are... but again... still digging gsr [03:06] L3top, thanks, I will too - going to try to apt-get purge fglrx*, reboot, and try reinstalling. Back in a few minutes! [03:06] performance varies quite a bit... but... I will figure it out gsr. [03:06] found a workaround to leap second bug [03:07] is it the ability, from B, to tell A to forward everything it gets to port p1 towards ip2/p2 [03:07] kristenB, what you are setting up configures things so that opening an outbound port on A:2000 takes you through a little network wormhole and you come out the other side on B:22 [03:08] kristenB, the reverse part is that you are setting all this up from B. normally you would configure your tunnel from A and start the connection A-> B instead of B-> A [03:08] I see [03:08] kristenB, your tunnel is going "upstream" on the ssh connection instead of "downstream" [03:09] gsr thanks though u really tried [03:09] and the general syntax of doing so would be with the command -L, right ? [03:09] kristenB, yes [03:10] that's all so fascinating :) [03:10] ok let me try that permitopen thingy [03:11] kristenB, i mis-spoke earlier: "opening an inbound port on A:2000 takes you through a little network wormhole and you come out the other side on B:22" [03:11] <[dlp]> I wonder if anyone here has any suggestions. I have an interesting problem affecting audio playback (and video playback, too, where present). Sometimes playback will occur way too fast (as fast as the machine can decode, presumably); others, it'll pick sporradic moments to replay a fragment of, perhaps, 1/3 of a second 3 or 4 times in a loop before continuing as normal. CPU load remains about 95% idle throughout the underrun cycle; I haven't monitor [03:11] kristenB, so A listens for connections on port 2000 and instead of dealing with them locally sends them on to B:22 but the come out of B as if they were from localhost [03:11] kristenB, also dont get fired for this [03:12] lol [03:12] anyone know if ubuntu systems are affected by the ntp leap second bug? [03:13] [dlp], what player? [03:13] <[dlp]> akem: All of them. [03:13] leb: I've seen folks with SQL servers have high CPU immediately after 00:00 [03:13] so given our previous notations, it would be permitopen="B:22" right ? [03:13] leb: needing a reboot [03:13] <[dlp]> akem: mplayer, vlc, flash (streaming vlf), audacious... [03:13] <[dlp]> ogg123 [03:14] there seems to be a kernel crash associated with ntp trying to update the time [03:14] http://serverfault.com/questions/403732/anyone-else-experiencing-high-rates-of-linux-server-crashes-today [03:14] while trying to do an apt-get update, I'm told: http://sprunge.us/AXTW [03:14] [dlp]: what output methods for video have you tried? [03:14] kristenB, no it would be permitopen="localhost:2000" [03:14] I already have "APT::Cache-Limit "100000000";" in /etc/apt.conf [03:14] escott: so given our previous notations, it would be permitopen="127.0.0.1:22" right ? [03:14] [dlp], strange, try out with a live CD like knoppix see if you get the same problems, or Windows if you can. [03:14] leb: yes [03:14] kristenB, A is not allowing the port to be opened (based on that error message) [03:15] hello [03:15] sup dell [03:15] are you a computer? [03:15] <[dlp]> akem: Did you read all of my initial message? [03:15] no i'm a person [03:15] kristenB, in all seriousness though, a good corporate sysadmin would fire someone and then ask questions if they found out about a reverse ssh tunnel [03:15] but i'm called my computer so [03:16] kristenB, so be careful [03:16] [dlp], no got only one from you in the buffer. [03:16] sorry if i missed something then. === HyperNerdV2_ is now known as HyperNerdV2 [03:17] anyone been having any leapsecond issues ? [03:17] lapion, yes [03:17] this is the first time iḿ here people [03:17] escott: thanks for the advice. I already had it setup long before though, it's just that I hadn't gone into the process of securing my own personal computer against anything else but that ssh reverse connection [03:17] dell, welcome [03:17] thank you sunshine [03:18] where goes this forum about? [03:18] kristenB, i would feel bad if i spend a couple hours helping you out and next week you were asking for a job [03:18] <[dlp]> akem: Sorry, I'm just being facetious. People in the forums were very dismissive to those who brought this up, so I sort of prepared myself for that. [03:18] dell, come to #ubuntu-offtopic :) [03:18] <[dlp]> ActionParsnip: Hang on, for Flash I don't know. [03:18] escott: but it would be so much easier to find a new one with all that extra knowledge :D [03:18] why sunshine? [03:18] escott, what issues do you have ? [03:18] lapion, i havent had any. you asked if anyone has had issues, and others have [03:19] dell, #ubuntu is for questions & answers, #ubuntu-offtopic can talk abot anything [03:19] oke [03:19] en where i can found it? [03:19] <[dlp]> ActionParsnip: For mplayer... it's using vdpau [03:19] maybe mythtv might be hacing some issues.. seeing as my backend has been running at load avg of 20 [03:19] dell: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:20] escott: I have added permitopen localhost 2000 but it still says port can't be opened [03:20] <[dlp]> ActionParsnip: Flash will be using whatever it uses (?). [03:20] Hi I have a newbie question I know has been answered again and again, it just seems like there's always some doubt left in my mind....here goes: I know it's hard to catch a virus especially in the wild but how about keyloggers on linux....(preferably Ubuntu?) [03:21] escott: and the warning message is still the same if I remove the /bin/false part [03:21] kristenB, if you were using controlmaster then on B if you run ps aux | grep ssh you should see an sshd process of yours. kill it. its using the old ssh configuration details, and therefore the old auth keys [03:21] Hello i was on earlier asking about mupen64plus i got it how do i run it? [03:22] I got it through sudo apt-get [03:22] escott: that's probably because it's already in use, actually, since I'm connected to B with that solution [03:22] kristenB, yes. that would prevent you from opening the port. try 2001 [03:23] How do i run mupen64plus? i did it with terminal but it doesn't run the rom files [03:23] Portaltech, yes there are keyloggers. what is your question exactly? [03:23] Howdy - how does one go about configuring which ports are open (Using 12.04)? [03:23] <[dlp]> ActionParsnip: Frankly, I don't think the video output mechanism is relevant: it affects audio-only playback as well. Though the video does freeze when the audio skips. I'm not sure what happens in the overrun case. I think the video runs fast as well. But I can't reproduce it at the moment. I suspect a reboot would allow me to do so. [03:23] Portaltech: as all the software you should install is opensource there are many eyes that see the code and would notice a keyloger in it [03:24] XDD, What router do you have? [03:24] well I'm just a little worried when visiting websites === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [03:24] <[dlp]> ActionParsnip: And, tbh, if a reboot does help me to reproduce the problem I'll be /really/ fucking confused. [03:24] Portaltech: with opensource we don't have to guess what an app does it's all seen in the code before it ever runs [03:24] XDD, you should go to your default gateway in your browser [03:24] [dlp], no cursing here [03:25] wolfgang_: One of the wrt*s, but right now I'm on the local network - Is there a builtin firewall of sorts in Ubuntu? [03:25] XDD, yes [03:25] <[dlp]> Sorry. [03:25] Portaltech, modern websites and browsers open a pandora's box of problems that don't really extend beyond the browser. i would be more concerned about a local scripting attack on firefox that tries to steal control of another tab in your browser than anything else [03:25] XDD, Did you configure your router in the internet browser? [03:26] [dlp]: worth a shot [03:26] !firewall | xDD [03:26] xDD: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [03:26] <[dlp]> ActionParsnip: Indeed. [03:26] wolfgang_: Yep, a while ago, though. This is a fresh install (it was working before) [03:26] escott....so what a newbie like me should make sure I do with a fresh install of ubuntu? [03:26] XDD, In terminal do "sudo ufw allow (port #) [03:27] XDD, that should do it === Khronos is now known as DoYouKnow [03:27] escott: omg it works lol. [03:27] Portaltech, if you are browsing questionable sites do so in a browser that is NOT the browser you use for your online banking, do so in privacy mode etc... [03:27] wolfgang_, ActionParsnip: I'll check out ufw. Thanks! [03:27] XDD, Np [03:27] Portaltech, disable webgl. disable flash if you can [03:28] escott: Well on ubuntu I only have Firefox [03:29] Hey guys...does anyone know if I add the backtrack repositories to ubuntu if the tools wont work? I have heard arguments for both no and yes...but no clear answers [03:29] Portaltech, there are others you can install. chromium, chrome, epiphany, konquerer etc [03:29] <[dlp]> Ok, given the problem is now gone at uptime = 23:32, I'm gonna see if it really is relevant: rebooting. brb [03:29] !backtrack | r00t__ [03:29] r00t__: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [03:29] I tried looking for Chrome but it's not in the software center only chromium [03:29] escott: I am not asking for backtrack support...just seeing if adding their repositories is worth it or not... [03:29] Portaltech: on firefox you can change profiles that can have different security settings or you can run anaother browser like chromeium as another method to see sites [03:30] r00t__, i think there's a factoid for that.... lets see [03:30] !backtrack | r00t__ [03:30] Portaltech: you can grab the deb for chrome and install it, it will also add the google ppa :) [03:30] r00t__: if you want backtrack, use backtrak. Don't mix repos [03:30] I got a N64 emulator called mupen64plus and can't get it to run roms, how would i do that? [03:30] Action where is the deb for chrome? [03:30] wolfgang_, ActionParsnip: Hmm... According to the gufw gui, the firewall isn't currently on... [03:30] wylde: I am just wanting some software from them...jesus you guys are defensive xD [03:30] Portaltech, there is a ppa from google [03:30] wolfgang_: is there a config inthe app to point to the folder holding ROMs? [03:30] wolfgang_: did you rean the man page [03:30] XDD, Do sudo ufw enable [03:31] L3top, no joy, purge/reinstall now has Additional Drivers listing the Fglrx driver (non post-upgrade) as active - however, its still showing all the signs of being on the non-proprietary driver. [03:31] Actionparsnip, no [03:31] r0tha, Didn't see one [03:31] naw man [03:31] type [03:31] r00t__: their packages will very likely break your system. If you want that software and it isn't in ubuntu repos you're better off compiling from source. [03:31] man programname ans ee if there's one [03:32] wolfgang_: under configure -> rom browser [03:32] wolfgang_: At least right now, I'm trying to figure out why I can't ssh when I change the port (though I'll probably turn that on once this is worked out). [03:32] Portaltech, the thing to keep in mind is that the chances of someone using a firefox 0-day to deliver exploits for ubuntu 12.04 is really low. they will use that 0-day to hit Win7. but they could use a 0-day to try and steal facebook login information, or do some weird in browser controls of other tabs [03:32] wylde: oh i see [03:32] wolfgang_: I just pulled up a screenshot? [03:32] wolfgang_: http://offenerdesktop.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/spiele-mupen64plus-001.png [03:32] still working on it... one min gsr [03:32] escott thanks for the info [03:33] xDD: you change the port on ssh and can't get in from wan (out site internet)? [03:33] wolfgang_: is it not there any more? [03:33] XDD, Don't know enough to help you further to turn on firewall in terminal type "sudo ufw enable" and to enable a port i told you sorry. [03:33] Portaltech, so keep your questionable websites constrained to a browser profile you dont have to trust [03:33] sacarlson thanks also [03:33] sacarlson: Actually, from internal [03:33] escott: so if I resume all the steps: ssh-keygen, then change name to untrusted, then no password, then cat id_rsa_untrusted.pub >> authorized_keys, then chmod 600 authorized_keys, then scp id_rsa_untrusted to B, then change authorized_keys to command="/bin/false',permitopen="localhost:2000",from="Bip",no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding ; and then from B, ssh -R. Am I forgetting something ? [03:33] action I just installed thank you [03:33] xDD: maybe after you changed the port you didn't restart ssh-server ? [03:33] actionparsnip, the only way i could figure out to run it was from terminal so nothing like that. [03:34] wolfgang_: there should be a GUI to my knowledge, not used muppen in ages [03:34] sacarlson: Don't think that's it - I changed it back to 22 and restarted in the same way and it began working again. [03:34] kristenB, well you want to change the options in the Authkey before you give the remote host the key, but yes, thats the full process [03:34] my upgrade to 12:04 has stopped mid-upgrade ... :( ... I think it lost the internet for an extended period.. is there anyway to get it going again? ... It is in the "install the upgrades" action.... I really need to get the install finished. [03:35] xDD: so you verified it listening with sudo netstat -pant ; after you changed it? [03:35] Actionparsnip, i got it from the terminal by typing "sudo apt-get install mupen64plus" [03:35] r00t__: if you wanted to have backtrack on hand, you can actually keep the iso on the / or /boot partition and boot it from grub2 [03:35] kristenB, also... thanks. that was a fun one to work through [03:35] wolfgang_: if you run: mupen64plus does it run? [03:35] escott: thank you very much to you sir [03:35] sacarlson: I did not! That sounds like the advice I'm looking for :). I'll report back. [03:35] Actionparsnip how do i take a screenshot? [03:35] nrdb: stop the upgrade then run the !aptfix factoid commands [03:36] wolfgang_: press PrintScrn just like in Windows..... [03:36] escott: may I ask another question ? :) [03:36] actionparsnip, ok where do i paste it? [03:36] kristenB, sure [03:36] sacarlson: I see a tcp LISTEN sshd at 0.0.0.0:myport [03:37] escott: so now that this connection is set up, I would like to access C (which can only be accessed through B) from A, in order to do a rsync. How could I do that ? [03:37] Where do i paste a screen shot? [03:37] ActionParsnip, I don't understand ... what are those? [03:37] im running liveusb there is an install linux icon that keeps coming up I go into config editor >apps>nautilus>desktop but the ability to make the icon hidden is not listed [03:37] !pastebin | wolfgang, there is a link in this factoid [03:37] wolfgang, there is a link in this factoid: 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. [03:38] kristenB, in A's ~/.ssh/config file you can setup a Host C section which references the tunnel you have to B [03:38] <[dlp]> Well... I'm not sure the reboot had an effect. I have just seen the skipping issue. Not happening a much as I expected, though. [03:38] it's an equivalent of the -W option, right ? [03:38] !aptfix | nrdb [03:38] nrdb: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [03:38] wolfgang_: use imgur or imageshack or somthing similar [03:39] kristenB, http://blogs.perl.org/users/smylers/2011/08/ssh-productivity-tips.html scroll down to the onward connections bit [03:39] kristenB, rather the jumping through servers bit [03:40] kristenB, with the ProxyCommand bit. I'd love to help set that up, but its time for bed [03:40] escott: okay :) [03:40] escott: well thank you very much for your help. [03:40] nrdb: obviously close the upgrade app first :) [03:40] <[dlp]> It's happening quite a bit now. [03:41] iep [03:41] So, I am a computer science major, yet I have next to no unix/linux experience. I am going to try and set up an Ubuntu VM for tinkering. Any general advice? [03:42] <[dlp]> Doesn't seem to happen when the machine's under load, either. [03:42] <[dlp]> Really bizarre. [03:42] gsr: this is particularly annoying. I can find NOTHING which explains which ati driver version (ie 12-4) the ubuntu package (ie 2:8.960) implies. apt-cache show fglrx doesn't even explain... very annoying. [03:43] actionparsnip, http://nuclearmuffin88.imgur.com/all/ [03:43] actionparsnip, thats what it's like for me. [03:44] wolfgang_: you need to make the image publicly available [03:44] <[dlp]> Oh, this is ridiculous. [03:44] actionparsnip, how? [03:44] wolfgang_: use imageshack [03:44] wolfgang_: bit easier [03:44] Sithregal, a live cd/dvd may give more of an actual feel than a vm [03:45] actionparsnip, file:///home/wolfgang/Pictures/mupen%20thing.png [03:45] <[dlp]> Ok, I'm going to write a "stress program". [03:45] wolfgang_: that will only work if I have local acces to your system [03:45] actionparsnip, How do i make public? [03:46] wolfgang_: http://imageshack.us/ [03:46] actionparsnip, i did that [03:46] actionparsnip, file:///home/wolfgang/Pictures/mupen%20thing.png [03:47] wolfbyte, file = on your computer, imageshack.us should give you an http: share [03:47] How to do this grep 'EE\|WW' /var/log/Xorg.0.log,Thank you.I'm a trainee [03:47] actioparsnip, http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/404/mupenthing.png/ [03:48] actionparsnip, That's it [03:49] wolfgang_: if you give it a ROM, dos it run? [03:50] RAITAR, if you type that into a terminal command line and nothing comes up, either what you are searching for does not exist or the log files does not exist [03:50] actionparsnip, How would i go about doing that? [03:50] Hey everyone...I installed teamviewer7 but now I cant figure out how to uninstall it...wat do? === Daiton_ is now known as Daiton [03:51] cloocky: how do you install it [03:51] cloocky, sudo apt-get remove teamviewer7 [03:51] maybe [03:51] mandalord: I downloaded a .deb file from their website and use the software center to install it. [03:51] uhm [03:51] cloocky, or go to software center and find it then click remove [03:51] wolfgang_: it only gives a "reinstall" option [03:52] cloocky, I don't know then [03:52] cloocky, sorry [03:52] wait...apt-get remove is working...thanks! [03:52] wolfgang_: treat it like any other CLI comman d [03:52] cloocky, yor welcome [03:52] http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?49393-Hiding-the-Ubiquity%28Install%29-icon-on-liveusb-persitent forget it I have found how to hide the liveusb install icon annoyance [03:52] wolfgang_: mupen64plus /path/to/filename [03:52] cloocky: or run this command and tell me the result "dpkg --get-selections | grep teamviewer" [03:52] Actionparsnip ok hold on [03:53] Can someone pick up from where escott left regarding helping me with my ssh issues ? [03:53] <[dlp]> Well... I've put the system under a high CPU load. Audio playback unaffected. [03:53] Novasun: what, just delete it... [03:53] <[dlp]> Except for the odd instance where it does skip (which happens regardless of whether the system is loaded or not)./ [03:53] everytime I reboot it comes back [03:54] brb [03:54] Novasun: do you have persistence setup? [03:55] nope [03:55] Novasun, you ever been on Kali? [03:55] actionparsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1068805/ [03:55] Novasun: nickname is familliar [03:56] actionparsnip, that is the outcome [03:56] nope just randomly chosen due to hobby [03:56] ahh, carry on then. :) [03:56] wolfgang_ try extract the rom and run the rom inside .zip file [03:57] Mandalord, ok hold on ill try that [03:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1068808/ [03:59] mandalord, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1068808/ [04:00] mandalord, didn't work [04:01] mandalord, actionparsnip, what do i do? [04:03] is there anyway to make wget try again if it gets a message other than 200 OK? like every so often it gets a 500 error and doing it a 2nd time succeeds for me [04:03] user01, could write a script, grep the output, and loop if failed. [04:04] connect [04:04] actionparsnip, mandalord: what do i do? [04:04] i would think wget would just have an option for it though [04:04] doubt it. === robin is now known as Guest61182 [04:05] OK user01.. a simple manpage lookup [04:05] -t, --tries=NUMBER set number of retries to NUMBER (0 unlimits). [04:06] wolfgang_: not sure what happen, can you "ls /home/wolfgang/Downloads/Zelda-O.zip/" [04:06] mandalord, says not a directory? but it's there? [04:07] D: [04:07] wolfgang_: oh, did you extract the .zip file [04:08] extract it into a folder [04:08] Mandalord, No [04:08] mandalord, you mean move? [04:08] wolfgang_: no I think he means unzip [tab] [04:08] ok [04:09] wolfgang_: no, i mean EXTRACT, its a .zip file, you should extract it [04:09] ok i did now try? [04:10] did you extract it? unzip it? [04:12] Got it running thank you how do i change the controls? [04:12] Mandlord, how do i change the controls now its running? [04:13] quick random question: my computer says "processor 100% in use" how do i check to find out specifically what is using it all up? [04:13] top [04:13] wolfgang_: it is running? I dont know how to change controls. You should read manpage [04:13] Zylek: top, htop, system monitor [04:13] ty === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [04:14] mandalord, I cant find help on man page [04:14] phunyguy, the man pages doesnt specify what it means as successful [04:14] phunyguy, hopefully only 200 responses [04:14] I would think so as well [04:15] phunyguy, well ill know in about 15 minutes [04:15] grrrr [04:15] it is npviewer.bin [04:15] what the heck is that [04:15] wolfgang_, then maybe you can't change controls [04:15] it's hoggin' up the computer [04:15] Oerheks, ok [04:16] If i had add up all the processes displayed memory usage of 'ps aux', I don't get the sum displayed in free -m > memory used. Why is that ? [04:16] mandalord,actionparsnip: thank you for your time bye i got it from here [04:16] hello there, i just plugged a hard disk, and i can't write in it.. it say i don't have permissions. In terminal I just wrote 'sudo chmod 777 -R' to the harddisk and it doesn't work, what can i do? [04:17] can i just force kill all of the npviewer.bin files? [04:17] or will that make my computer explode? haha [04:17] If i add up all the memory usage of 'ps aux', I don't get the same number as free > memory used. Why is that ? [04:19] OMG [04:19] my computer is back to normal [04:19] the cursed npviewer.bin [04:19] is a curse [04:24] quick 12.04 question; what's preferred for GUI cleaning? Ubuntu tweak or synaptic? [04:25] <[dlp]> Right... just experienced the "playback too fast" issue. There /is/ a slight increase in CPU usage (~10%), mostly to kmix, pulseaudio and chrome (which is the source, using Flash). [04:25] <[dlp]> Killed KMix part way throguh. [04:26] <[dlp]> Nothing really changed. pulseaudio became top consumer [04:26] <[dlp]> And now it's playing ok again :/ [04:27] <[dlp]> The media player flash app complained of insufficient bandwidth a couple of times, too. lol [04:27] <[dlp]> Insufficient bandwidth to play into the future :D [04:28] <[dlp]> I'm just gonna have to let the system run and see if uptime really is relevant. [04:29] <[dlp]> *VERY* strange. [04:30] anybody know how to get the speaker icon back to the task bar? [04:35] L3top, tried installing the drivers from the official ati site, still no joy. im thinking your original idea might be on the money [04:37] Ubuntu developers explained as well that I am looking for the information on the wrong side of the fence. AMD only advertizes their catalyst version (12-4), and the actual fglrx version is what is indicated in the repo. Getting documentation from AMD is not... intuitive. Thier "release notes" are step by step installation instructions. Do you currently have their version installed? [04:37] ati sux [04:37] gsr^ [04:37] Does anybody know why the sum of all the processes memory usage in 'ps aux' and the sum displayed in htop is different from 'free' > memory used ? [04:38] i have an $800 video card that worthless in linux thanks to ati and they heads up they ass holes attitude [04:38] kristenB: because some onboard devices cache memory not held in process? === jeremydei_ is now known as jeremydei [04:39] L3top: would that account for a few GB difference ? [04:39] try ps ax [04:39] GB? I would say no kristenB. [04:39] L3top: then what could account for that [04:40] * L3top was just taking a stab at that... any further conjecture has a much slimmer chance at being correct. [04:41] kristenB, onboard devices will take up memory, the poorer the design the more memory they generally take and you will loose within your os. But if the sum is gb's that doesn't sound quite right. [04:41] gsr do you have the driver from teh ATI site installed currently? Because I would appreciate it if you would run a couple of quick queries to determine what version fglrx it is... and you should try lsmod | grep fglrx [04:41] Wingede: ps aux | awk '{s+=$4} END {print s}' = 18 [04:41] as long as the box runs.. i dont worry about totals of ram... thats like worring about the bits your mouse drops while scrolling [04:42] Could be a security issue PlowRox... in theory. [04:42] Worth figuring out [04:42] un plug it [04:42] L3top, uninstalled it :(. I'd do it again, but its bed time for me :(. [04:43] if the program is malisious it will go postal trying to get online [04:43] No worries. i will work it out... night gsr [04:43] L3top, Thanks for looking into it though. ill be back on here tomorrow if your around. [04:43] PlowRox: That simply is not accurate. [04:43] then dont worry about it [04:43] :) [04:43] That is also inaccurate. [04:43] sigh [04:44] so from ps's point of view, 18% of memory or so is used. Yet with free, it shows almost 100% is used [04:44] brb. [04:44] how can I run an exe as another user from terminal? [04:44] google it.. unless the cpu is prcessing in that area of missing ram..its not used [04:45] could just be garbage collection +/- [04:46] i just want my speaker icon back... so i can turn on and off my sound [04:46] and no u cant enable it from settings [04:46] ... [04:51] Hello [04:51] I need change default gnome-shell theme and icon theme for all users , How can do this ? [04:51] All new users [04:54] <[dlp]> Well, changing clocksource did not help. [04:54] <[dlp]> Didn't really expect it to, tbh. [04:55] <[dlp]> Hmm. === ztag100 is now known as thedoctor === thedoctor is now known as ztag100 [04:59] phunyguy, nope i got 5 server errors with -t=0 [04:59] phunyguy, and it didnt matter [05:00] nice. [05:00] 5/5000 [05:00] but for error 500 on 5 it didnt show [05:00] or it didnt retry indefinitely [05:01] sounds like a bug === dpb_ is now known as Guest54097 [05:03] Hey anyone notice kernel 3.2.0-26-generic breaks sound while watching video's. The sound skips every minute or so, rolled back the kernel to 3.2.0-25-generic and it's all good. [05:04] Grant_P: tried: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds and reboot [05:04] ActionParsnip: Can you tell me what that does exactly? [05:07] Grant_P: it stops teh pulse process then deletes the config, the 10 second wait allows the process to restart which wil then regenerate the folder and file to default the settings [05:07] Grant_P: in short, a 'reset' [05:08] Grant_P: the reboot is just for good measure [05:08] Grant_P: great first step for sound issues [05:09] ActionParsnip: aeon-ltd: will try, thanks. [05:11] I am trying to install ubuntu on a powerbook g4 but I need a bit of help [05:11] anyone here done that type of thing ? [05:12] I need change default gnome-shell theme and icon theme for all users , How can do this ? [05:12] dcdog: there is a PPC ISO of Precise you can use [05:12] i've already got the CD burnt and I am in the install part now [05:12] the part I am having problems with is the partitioning [05:13] dcdog: are you setting up a dual boot? [05:13] no, I am just trying to set it up on an external drive [05:13] single boot [05:13] not done that myself, is the drive detectable in the setup as a drive you can setup? [05:14] yes, it seems to register ok [05:14] right now I am at the window which says "Installation type" [05:14] dcdog: I'd choose the 'Somethig else' option [05:15] yes, that is what I did, I am now at the window where I can see the partitions [05:15] Am I right in thinking that 10.04 uses GNOME 2 and will do until 2015? [05:15] dcdog: ok then you will need to least 2 partitions. 1 for / and one for swap, how much RAM does the system have? [05:16] 2 gigs of ram [05:16] how much space do I need to allow for swap ? [05:16] Richard_Cavell: Lucid desktop is EOL in April next year [05:17] I am trying to set myself as owner of a folder using chown -R root /folder. it says operation not permitted. I cannot copy files to this folder, etc. Any help please? I also tried chown -R root:root /folder [05:17] dcdog: then set swap as 2.2Gb and the rest as / formatted Ext4 [05:17] Vodric: is the partition mounted writable? [05:17] ActionParsnip: well let me rephrase the question. I want a non-bloated Linux distro that runs GNOME 2 to run in vbox. [05:17] as far as I know? I created the folder [05:17] ok, let me do that [05:17] that is still supported, but doesn't have to be bleeding edge [05:17] Richard_Cavell: Xubuntu or lubuntu are nice and lean [05:17] with mkdir [05:17] ActionParsnip: I said GNOME 2 [05:18] and I downloaded things to it [05:18] hold on a sec while I do what you told me to do [05:18] My screen is really zoomed in! [05:18] what do i do? [05:18] I seem to have access in terminal, but not in gui? [05:18] Vodric: thats irrelevant, if the partition is mounted read only, not even root can write to it (afaik) [05:18] its all really big [05:18] wolfgang_: was it ok a little while ago? [05:18] Richard_Cavell, gnome2 is EOL. [05:18] Yes it is, I have tested just now. I can do anything in terminal, but in gui im getting errors? [05:19] Actionparsnip, it did this after i closed out of mupen64plus [05:19] Richard_Cavell: gnome2 is dead, you could use mint which isn't supported here which uses Mate which is a fork of gnome2 [05:19] wolfgang_: what video chip do you use? [05:19] ActionParsnip: I'm in denial about GNOME 2 being dead. [05:19] Actionparsnip, What do you mean? [05:20] can someone help me with ssh please ? [05:20] wolfgang_: the chip on your video card, what is it? ATi? nvidia? intel? [05:20] Richard_Cavell: go ask in #gnome and you'll see [05:21] hi gm [05:21] ok, I got those partitions set up, I am going to press the button which say install [05:21] Richard_Cavell: there are forks but they aren't supported here, xfce looks a lot like Gnome2 [05:21] actionparsnip, could not see all of word nividia not sure [05:21] I have highlighed he main one as root, is that ok ? [05:21] I used to be a hardcore ubuntu user years ago, I've forgotten everything, where is the settings and options for firefox?? [05:21] dcdog: ok as long as you set the right disk up and have a / partition and swap, it will install to the usb [05:21] how i can use koha [05:21] I dont even remember how to install things [05:22] ok, here goes [05:22] Where is my terminal?? [05:22] babalabon: use software centre to install stuff [05:22] babalabon: in dash, or press CTRLA+LT+T [05:22] babalabon, ctr+alt+t [05:22] shit, it says No Newworld boot partition was found [05:22] dcdog: the highlight is irrelevant, the installer will see the mount points you set [05:23] hey threre' [05:23] babalabon, focus to firefox, then the top panel will show file-edit-etc [05:23] fuck u all assoles [05:23] nanai, chill out [05:23] ActionParsnip: good idea, I'll ask in #gnome [05:24] its saying the yaboot loader requires an Apple_bootstrap partition of at least 819k in size [05:24] nanai, please /join ##english to learn writing.

[07:24] after running the nvidia-xconfig there is no statement in the xorg.conf with pci bus id [07:24] L3top, I was going to ask him, [07:24] yes I have ;) [07:24] the problem is as follows [07:25] when I am visiting websites or just opening programs [07:25] the screen wil flicker a lot [07:25] when I open for example this console(for irssi) [07:25] there is some transparancy going on then [07:25] BUT when I reboot my system [07:25] lspci -nn | grep VGA please [07:25] I can see still that screen during the Bios POST [07:26] Priyantha, this is probably coming from Flashplayer [07:26] and even during the grub screen [07:26] each time I have viewed a flash video it does that in my machine [07:26] Priyantha, and when I close the tab where the video is present, then it stops [07:26] you might want to try [07:26] when I am waiting logn enough, the image disapears, it looks like Plasma retention [07:27] Priyantha, did you read me ? [07:27] * L3top suspects Priyantha is correct about the framebuffer. [07:27] yes I did :) [07:27] did you see L3top asking you a command line output ? [07:27] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF106 [Quadro 2000M] [10de:0dda] (rev a1) [07:27] Here it is :) [07:27] Yeah I do think it's with the framebuffer [07:27] I am quite technical myself ;) but it's so long ago I used Linux on a desktop [07:28] L3top, Priyantha can you explain why the framebuffer, and not the flash videos ? [07:28] i can't seem to get my system recognizing grub as the bootloader [07:28] Priyantha: did you install nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates? [07:28] Because melodie_ I didn't opened sites using Flash ;) [07:28] I tried both L3top [07:28] Because it is retaining BIOS post. This is something grabbing hold and not letting go from jump street [07:28] Priyantha, good point [07:29] and even tried the newer nvidia drivers from the x-updates ppa [07:29] but that didn't solve it either [07:29] I would purge the nouveau driver from your system. [07:29] Priyantha, did you try nouveau ? [07:29] L3top, this is also a good idea [07:29] either or [07:29] No I didn't EDawg878 :) [07:30] that card is pretty spankin new... I would go with the nvidia driver over nouveau... for a lot of reasons... [07:30] Priyantha, try that ? and for the framebuffer you could modify the kernel command line in one of those numerous grub files, I am not sure which one [07:30] ... [07:30] going now... [07:31] can u switch kernal in burgback [07:31] apt-get remove --purge libdrm-nouveau2 xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [07:31] Reading package lists... Done [07:31] back* [07:31] doing that now :) [07:31] then reboot please and see if you can reproduce the problem Priyantha. [07:31] yes I will :) [07:31] anyway i am installing a new kernal and i am using burg [07:32] I don't thing I am going to use the nouveau driver [07:32] that driver is still to much in development [07:32] so i was wondering if u can change ur kernal same like in grub2 [07:32] ganesh_: you should just stick with grub, burg isn't supported [07:32] going to alter /etc/default/grub to disable the splash shizzle [07:32] well... it is a losing battle unfortunately Priyantha... but they do awesome work... considering. [07:32] so there is no way? [07:33] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="vga=normale nomodeset" [07:33] that is what I am going to put [07:33] should be good I think :) [07:33] yes it is L3top [07:33] they are doing great work yes I know :) [07:33] i do have grub customizer and it does support burg so can u use that change kernal? [07:33] will update-grub and then reboot L3top see you a 2 minutes ;) [07:34] ganesh_: if you need help with ppas then contact their maintainers [07:34] ganesh_: they are unsupported here [07:35] back :) [07:36] i see [07:36] mmmm made a typo in my Grub line :P [07:36] normale had to be normal ;) [07:36] doh. [07:37] It didn't help though :( [07:37] still the flickering [07:37] fraid of that. [07:37] uhu same here ;) [07:37] Hi what packages should I need to mount an encrypted raid created with fedora? [07:37] or an encrypted raid array in general [07:38] I was wondering melodie was talking about altering the xorg.conf [07:38] i seem to be missing "update-rc.d" command in 12.04 - does anybody else have it? [07:38] but that line he talked about, it not by default in the config [07:39] michaelrose357: not completely sure, but I would assume whatever software was used to create the encryption should be able to do it [07:39] that is probably correct but not extremely useful it was created by anaconda [07:39] but I can put it myself of course [07:39] during installlation [07:39] just a BusID statement [07:39] but is that going to help is the question ;) [07:40] Priyantha: It is a tad more complicated than stuffing it in there... you need to convert it. [07:40] yeah I know, from the lspci statement [07:40] michaelrose357: Then you have to ask the Fedora support to please tell you how the encrypt a RAID using anaconda. [07:41] Priyantha: but all that does is designate the correct bus output... in case it is confused... but you would have to have more buses avail which you do not appeear to. [07:41] michaelrose357: so ask in the fedora room what packages anaconda uses for encryption [07:41] packages can't be exactly the same...hmm === michaelrose357 is now known as mikerose357 [07:42] L3top: exactly what I thought, and that is not the case on my laptop ;) [07:43] Hi. I am trying to get multichannel sound from a Nicole USB 6ch sound module. In the sound settings I can only get the first 2 channels to work [07:43] Priyantha: If you wanted to though... lspci | grep VGA | head -1 | while IFS=':. ' read -r tok1 tok2 tok3 rest; do printf '%2s %2s %s\n' "$((16#$tok1))":"$((16#$tok2))":"$((16#$tok3))" | sed -e 's/ //g'; done will give you what you need ;P === onlyme is now known as PolyMath [07:44] is not really working L3top ;) I think you didn't close it right your string [07:44] but it doesn't matter I converted it already by hand :P [07:44] But I am not going to that route I think [07:45] I can't see why that should solve it [07:45] lspci | grep VGA | head -1 | while IFS=':. ' read -r tok1 tok2 tok3 rest; do printf '%2s %2s %s\n' "$((16#$tok1))":"$((16#$tok2))":"$((16#$tok3))" | sed -e 's/ //g'; done [07:45] 1:5:0 [07:45] there are no more than 1 graphicscard in y laptop [07:45] root@HP-EliteBook-8560w:~# lspci | grep VGA | head -1 | while IFS=':. ' read -r tok1 tok2 tok3 rest; do printf '%2s %2s %s\n' "$((16#$tok1))":"$((16#$tok2))":"$((16#$tok3))" | sed -e 's/ //g'; done [07:45] 1:0:0 [07:45] sorry ;) [07:45] :+ [07:45] Priyantha: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:46] that bot is quite aggressive tuned by the way ;) [07:46] Priyantha: as per guidelines, we try to discourage people from useint the !enter key too often [07:46] Priyantha: spammers are also rather agressive [07:47] it's intended to keep things readable in IRC [07:48] Yeah I know auronandace ;) [07:48] I am a long-time IRC user myself :) [07:49] You do realise it has to convert from base hex to base 10 right? It isn't a straight swap the dots... regardless. I wonder what it desided your hz is. Does xrandr --verbose | grep EDID return a result? [07:49] Priyantha: ^ [07:50] BONJOUR [07:50] That wouldn't account for the bios post retention though... man thats weird. [07:51] !fr [07:51] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [07:51] I got two server - Linux(Ubuntu) and Windows(2003) from webhosting company. I can connect to them and login. When I see Ubuntu machine, it reports some IP X and Z(two entries on /etc/resolv.conf). Say, nameserver 69.40.125.253 nameserver 200.40.146.236 while Windows Machine too shows the first DNS server entry on nslookup. >nslookup localhost 69.40.125.253 I am able to ping Windows machine from Linux machine but unable to ping Lin [07:51] http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=175647 [07:51] this looks like my problem :) [07:51] I am using NFS to access my /home on my mainbox from my laptops in my home, the /home in question is on an external drive connected via USB3.0, and sometimes it works perfectly fine, other times it works particularly slow, can someone help me diagnose the problem, if not solve it? [07:51] L3top: I don't get any output after that command [07:52] This could be incomplete domain name(I guess?) What domain name shall I need to add to Windows? [07:52] no EDID info [07:52] Priyantha: are both of your cards listed in lspci? [07:52] there is one card gaelfx [07:52] no two [07:53] Priyantha: ok, is IT listed in lspci? [07:53] yes that thread sounds EXACTLY like your issue. [07:53] yes it it gaelfx :) [07:54] I think there is also a solution there [07:54] how can i learn how to partition a hd? [07:54] I am going to read it more thourough [07:54] onery1: I believe there is a guide in the documentation on the website, but do you have a more specific question you might want to ask? I could give you general advice if you like [07:56] hi [07:56] * L3top wonders if it is related to the lack of edid data and its guess at your hz... Priyantha can I get a pastebin of xrandr --verbose as well as your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [07:56] yes of course L3top [07:58] here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069003/ [07:58] I am going to reboot, I changed some settings in the nvidia-settings [07:58] ah well [07:58] I am to put the xorg.conf also for you [07:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069006/ here is my xorg.conf [07:59] hello [08:00] Priyantha: you DO have EDID data in there... odd that it did not return a result... [08:02] Oh... you meant that it did not return the data itself... my fault for not being clear. When I ask if it "returns a result" I mean ANY result... I was just looking for the line that says EDID: the data itself follows after newline... just means it sees some. [08:04] back :) [08:04] Priyantha: That is a terribly lame xorg.conf... I am going to generate one for you. Please back that one up in case I blow your stuff up... but... I really shouldn't. That is one heck of a laptop btw. I am a bit jealous. [08:04] aah okay sorry === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [08:04] thx ;P [08:04] It's quite a beast yes :) [08:05] with a 30bit screen FHD and stuff :) [08:05] and currently since a couple of days with a ssd [08:08] going to purge xorg-edgers [08:08] and try to use the latest 'stable' nvidia driver [08:08] because now I am using a 302.x driver [08:08] that's are the betas [08:10] where to find help on nic drivers?? [08:11] what kind of nic drivers ? [08:11] most of the are already in the kernel includes gaelfx [08:11] uhmm gzimmerer [08:11] sorry gaelfx ;) [08:12] dell d600 yeah well I've been working on this for two weeks no luck.. I am new to linux/Ubuntu [08:12] I am using NFS to access my /home on my mainbox from my laptops in my home, the /home in question is on an external drive connected via USB3.0, and sometimes it works perfectly fine, other times it works particularly slow, can someone help me diagnose the problem, if not solve it? [08:12] gzimmerer: what seems to be the problem? [08:12] what kind of nic gzimmerer ? your cabled nic ? or wireless ? [08:12] laptop worked well with XP dule boot now that I wiped and put Ubuntu I get wifi but no ethernet. [08:13] gzimmerer, try to ask more detailed questions. describe your problem. you just asked "hey, can someone help me with my bycycle" without telling whats your problem. [08:13] when I do hardware I only see Intel Pro Wireless [08:13] L3top: going to install nou nvidia-current-updates by the way :) [08:14] and then alter the nvidia-settings according to that thread and look if it is solved [08:14] Priyantha: http://pastebin.com/yn32QHVk give that a try... if it pukes I will tweak a couple of things... I am making some broad assumptions ... I think they will go. [08:14] Priyantha: I wouldnt [08:14] anyone know if there are NES emulators for Ubuntu? [08:14] ah okay [08:14] not altering the settings ? [08:14] or not purging the xorg-edgers repo ? [08:14] onery1: yes, look in the software center, you should find them by searching NES [08:14] nvidia in ubuntu seems to be a little bit difficult anyway. [08:15] Well... the 295.40 driver has a regression issue which is better with the one you have... but it is yours to do with as you wish Priyantha [08:15] thanks gaelfx [08:15] wdp: still easier to deal with than fglrx though [08:15] due to compiz I guess. [08:15] if i try to use my sli setup in ubuntu, i get very low fps. [08:15] ah okay :P well I want to try the best I can haha L3top ;) so I am keeping the xorg-edgers then :) [08:15] if i disable sli and try to play videos, vdpau causes sometimes freezes. [08:15] and i get overall stuttering. [08:15] Hello, I just suprimated the clock,the messages icon, the net-wifi indicator, etc... could someone help me? [08:15] only chance to play back videos --- -vo xv. [08:16] gzimmerer: perhaps you could pastebin the output of 'lspci | grep -i network [08:16] but yeah. still easier than fglrx :) [08:16] Priyantha: might do that if this all fails... I didnt see a solution... I saw one guy say he thought it was related to DPMS... and several others say "no" but its worth a shot.... [08:16] wdp: what are you using to play videos? [08:16] mplayer (hence -vo xv) [08:17] well the 'solution' I found was altering the dithering in the nvidia-setings screen [08:17] wdp: did you try using VLC and enabling GPU accelleration? [08:17] Hello, I just deleted the clock,the messages icon, the net-wifi indicator, etc... could someone help me? [08:17] not yet, can do later. though i really would prefer to use mplayer. [08:18] wdp: yeah, that's what I usually use, but I've found VLC actually does a better job a lot of the time (only recently though) [08:18] mhm [08:18] lemme check later, sorting my backups currently :) [08:18] no problem [08:18] going to try your xorg.conf now L3top :) [08:19] thx [08:19] gzimmerer: do you know how to use pastebin? [08:19] hello [08:20] rebooting ;) see ya in a minute of 2 [08:20] i want to upload my application to launchpad to a ppa, i activated ppa for my application but i don't know how to create a package, i was following packagingguide on wiki but i already have 123918731 tabs open. isn't there an easy way? [08:22] meisth0th: easy ways tend to lead to crappier software,imo [08:22] lol [08:22] i already stayed awake for nights to write to code [08:22] L3top: your config made my screen go b0rked ;) [08:22] just green and other colors flickering [08:22] plus, it kind of needs to be complicated so that the package dependencies and whatnot don't break the system [08:23] without seeing the actual content [08:23] so reverted to 'no' xorg.conf [08:23] well... I did mention I took some liberties and it might [08:23] And I did tell you to back up your old one so you could revert... [08:24] One second I will give you a safer one [08:24] L3top: my fickering is gone [08:24] :D [08:24] it's done by altering [08:24] the nvidia-settings windo [08:24] in what way? [08:24] no sorry i was looking for pastebin [08:25] Hey :) I've installed the package of 7zip, but I can use it, why ? and how ? [08:25] under the Dithering controls, I changed "Dithering enabled" to 'enabled', "mode" to "Static 2x2" and Depth to 6 bpc [08:25] mmm 8 looks like working too [08:25] changed it now to 8 bpc [08:25] L3top: would you have any idea why my mainbox always boots up to 1080i instead of 1920x1080@60hz? (using NVidia drivers) It causes a goodly portion of the screen to remain off-screen [08:26] sweet! Thanks for figuring it out. I will save that, so perhaps I can help someone else. [08:26] gaelfx: all the way around? [08:26] L3top: not sure what you mean [08:26] Yeah :) [08:26] nice stuff, thanks for your great help L3top :) [08:27] I will stay here around to help others if I can :) [08:27] meaning not the left side, or the top... but there is a portion of the screen missing on all four sides... [08:27] after all I am quite experienced with server systems and running diverse Unix and Linux variants :) [08:27] L3top: yeah, that'd be a good description of it :) [08:27] Priyantha: ;) you did all the work... it is nice when helping someone who knows what they are doing... [08:28] gheghe I know L3top ;) but two minds can think more than just one [08:28] gaelfx can't you force that resolution setting inside the nvidia-settings panel ? [08:28] gaelfx: it is called overscanning... and it has to do with your tv. There is no reason, at all, for TV manufacturers to still use this... but they do. There should be something in the nvidia configuration tool to account for this. [08:29] L3top: thanks, I'll look into that then [08:29] Is this how to pastbin? [08:29] http://pastebin.com/rizppHfR [08:29] gaelfx: Many tvs have a way to account for this as well in their menus. [08:30] gaelfx: http://priyantha.nl/GoT/Screenshot%20from%202012-07-01%2010:29:12.png [08:30] for example [08:30] eh, it's a Chinese TV, I'm lucky it has English menus at all [08:31] lol [08:31] ya [08:31] you can disable overscanning in the TV settings yes [08:31] Evening, #ubuntu. Anyone wanna help me installing an x64 version of Java? [08:31] Priyantha: depends on the tv. My Samsung plasma, for instance (which actually uses LG boards) cannot. [08:32] hello , i need help regarding Shell SCript [08:32] can somebody help me [08:32] here it says: "16:9 Overscan" 'off' [08:32] I know it [08:32] on my Panasonic TX-P50VT30 Plasma [08:32] hey guys. Anyone know where I might get some help with a dd-wrt router [08:32] wow that's quite annoying L3top [08:32] !details | kav [08:32] kav: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [08:33] Isn't here a hidden option for it then L3top ? [08:33] ok ! i need want to enter password in script [08:33] Priyantha: Yep... very but our project has its own overscan fixer thingamajig. [08:33] It sound so strange, maybe a inside a debug menu or something :) [08:33] how can i do that [08:34] kav: sending passwords in the clear is a very bad idea. You should ask how to do this in #bash the correct way... but... truthfully... this should not be done. [08:34] i enter sudo bash in script ---> after that i it need password ---> i want to feel the passeord by defualt in script [08:34] Ouch. [08:35] O ! but i need [08:35] Hardcoded passwords - not a single person on this planet needs that. [08:35] kav... just run the script as root. [08:35] Anyone wanna help me install an x64 copy of Java? I have a .tar.gz file but I'm not entirely sure what to do with it. [08:35] bekks: Hackers do :P [08:36] That'd be like christmas! [08:36] GNU nano 2.2.6 File: Music [08:36] mkdir .Music_Store [08:36] ln -d /home/kav/Music/ /home/kav/Desktop/.Music_Store/ [08:36] rhythmbox /home/kav/Desktop/.Music_Store/*.mp3 [08:36] kav: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:36] LeJoker: Christmas, birthday, Easter, everything. :) [08:36] what are you trying to do kav ? [08:36] Priyantha: I have opened up the service menu on my tv... and in fact even changed the model designation to open up 24p... I promise you... there is NO way to do this. [08:36] transfering files to other pc's ? [08:36] joker what version of ubuntu do you use? [08:37] ah okay L3top :P strange tho :D [08:37] Can anyone help me get surround sound in Ubuntu 12.04 using a Nicole 6ch USB sound card, please? [08:37] Novasun: 12.04 [08:37] i want to transfer files from MUSIC to .Music_Store (hidden) [08:37] for that it need a password [08:37] on the same machine kav ? [08:37] yup [08:37] you're using the sudo command in front ? [08:37] permission denied ! [08:37] to do it as 'root' privileged user ? [08:37] i tried ! but failed [08:38] kav: You dont need a password at all in your example given. [08:38] I have been provided with two servers Linux and Windows from webhosting company. If I configure one of them with my own DNS server, will it be reachable from here. Or do I need to stick to their DNS server [08:38] Both directories belong to the same user - no password needed at all. [08:38] uhu sounds strange, the .Music_Store should be belonging to the same uid/guid's [08:39] yup ! it belongs to me i.e kav [08:39] kav... you have been told about your hyperactive use of the enter key... and if this is local, change the ownership/permissions of the hidden folder. [08:39] joker x64 or x32? [08:39] kav: Then you dont need a password to copy stuff to that directory. [08:39] Novasun: x64 [08:40] i have tried it .... chmod 777 * [08:40] hello everyone [08:40] kav ls -l .Music_Store [08:40] 09:37 < Jonny1> Can anyone help me get surround sound in Ubuntu 12.04 using a Nicole 6ch USB sound card, please? [08:40] I have a big problem here [08:40] whatever path that precedes it kav [08:40] Jonny1, is it a Chinese sound card or something ? [08:40] can you do a lsusb ? [08:41] sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [08:41] and copy/paste it to a pastebin ? [08:41] Priyantha: Yes it was made in China, but then so is everything these days [08:41] java 7 is said to mess up firefox [08:41] I formatted one of my partitions as fat and now my laptop is stuck at the boot screen (HP Logo) and I can't even enter the bios menu. [08:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [08:41] Novasun: that will not work anymore I do not believe [08:41] i have mention it above [08:41] Novasun: I'm looking for java 7 and that installed x86 for me last time [08:41] I know Jonny1 :P but I meant the brand it self Jonny1 [08:41] Jonny1: what does lspci/lsusb show it as? [08:41] Java 7 has never messed with firefox for me [08:41] wait a minute [08:41] Jonny1: knowing the manufacturer usually doesn't help since they probably didn't make the chip they're using [08:42] So when I remove the hdd and boot from usb, I'm able to get into the 'try ubuntu' thing but can't see my hdd even if I connect it. [08:42] Jonny1: because google'ing on that sound card doesn't revaal a lot ;) [08:42] Any idea how to solve this issue? [08:42] although I installed the JRE, I don't need to develop anything. does the JDK default to x64? [08:42] Novasun when oracle bought sun they pulled the license nonsense and it has been removed from the repos. [08:43] NielsMkn: yes I do have a clue [08:43] Where can I find information on Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04)? [08:43] Priyantha: lsusb shows it as Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0c45:17cf Microdia [08:43] ah great how do I do it Priyantha ? [08:43] it's because you'r HP has it's Bios on a hidden partition I think [08:43] I had it also when I put my new SSD in it [08:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069047/ [08:44] check it ! [08:44] What information are you trying to find gzimmerer [08:44] ah it didn't boot when you inserted the ssd? [08:44] Jonny1: ok, so run 'alsamixer' and see if you can select it as your sound card [08:44] yes NielsMkn [08:44] First question is this both wifi and ethernet? [08:44] I had to plug my old hdd in [08:44] so how did you fix it? [08:44] kav: Then fix the permissions instead of breaking even more permissions when using sudo. [08:44] well you can try it with a windows 7 install disk [08:44] from HP itself [08:44] gaelfx: I can select it in alsamixer as usb audio but it only shows 2 channels [08:44] and install the uefi bios tooling [08:44] gzimmerer: no, it's wireless, your wired card is probably something else. Why don't you pastebin 'lspci | grep -i network' for us? [08:45] you can still change you boot order ? [08:45] or choose a boot device ? [08:45] or even that not ? [08:45] Ok ! lets me try again [08:45] http://pastebin.com/rizppHfR [08:45] by pressing the "ESC" button or "F9" NielsMkn ? [08:45] Shows only the ProWireless... perhpas my ethernet is on the MB? [08:45] Priyantha, I can't enter the bios setup options while the hdd is connected. [08:45] and if you disconnect the hdd ? [08:46] gzimmerer: probably, yes, but it should show up in lspci. how about pastebinning 'ifconfig' [08:46] you don't need to enter the bios itself [08:46] sure, but same problem just a sec. [08:46] just only the boot menu [08:46] If I remove it and then boot from the windows 7 disc, I can't see the hdd when I connect it later [08:46] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-jdk-in.html ?? [08:47] mmmm strange stuff NielsMkn... [08:47] let me thing :P [08:47] *think [08:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069049/ [08:47] yeah I know, I'm totally stuck :P [08:47] gzimmerer: sorry, that was my fault, I should have asked for lspci | grep -i ethernet [08:47] NielsMkn: You dont have a hot plug hdd. :) [08:47] NielsMkn: Most likely, you will electrically break it when doing so. [08:47] hot plug hdd? [08:48] anyone here has experienced pdnsd with dhcp? [08:48] try to put your hdd in a usb case :) [08:48] or just the s-ata>usb converter [08:48] No prob.... but it showed up blank [08:48] that should do it [08:48] Jonny1: what does it call the device in alsamixer? [08:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069050/ [08:48] So first I need to buy a s-ata to usb converter? [08:49] check out this one [08:49] I have put my old HDD also trough a s-ata to usb converter on my laptop [08:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069051/ [08:49] yes that should give you a big chance yes [08:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069050/ i have addes sudo in it [08:49] kav: OUCH. DONT mess up the permissions even more. [08:49] gzimmerer: ok, just pb the whole lspci [08:49] kav: Use this: [08:49] Hey guys, how can I make it so that when I disconnect my headphones from the computer, the volume will become mute and vice versa? [08:49] okay will do [08:49] Just like on Windows? [08:50] anyone here has experienced pdnsd with dhcp? [08:50] kav: chmod -R youruser:youruser ~/Music/; find ~/Music/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {}\; find ./Music/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {}\; [08:50] NielsMkn: http://www.priyantha.nl/GoT/Screenshot%20from%202012-07-01%2010:50:06.png [08:51] this is how my partition table looks like [08:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069053/ [08:51] I see, thanks Priyantha [08:51] ? ... can you simplify above ..............Aha .... [08:51] Can you show me a screenshot of your s-ata to usb converter? [08:52] bekks : can you train me [08:52] http://askubuntu.com/questions/132770/how-do-i-stop-sound-coming-from-my-speakers-with-a-faulty-headphone-socket [08:52] bekks : O god [08:53] seems like it could relate to what you are searching for [08:53] kav: chown -R recursively sets ownership to your user/group. The first find gets all directories and sets useful permissions to them; the second one does the same for all files. [08:53] anyone knows why lxpanel and openbox keeps "restarting" (Its like im on windows and explorer keeps dying on me) ? [08:53] gzimmerer: wow, that kind of makes me think that nic in your machine is fried, unless the driver for it somehow got blacklisted. Did you do any blacklisting to get other stuff working? [08:53] Im using lubuntu 12.04 [08:54] anyone? [08:54] I searched in synaptic and apt-get doesn't install libpcslite-dev, where can I get that [08:54] gaelfx: Alsamixer shows it as USB Audio [08:54] !anyone | shafi [08:54] shafi: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [08:55] I am using NFS to access my /home on my mainbox from my laptops in my home, the /home in question is on an external drive connected via USB3.0, and sometimes it works perfectly fine, other times it works particularly slow, can someone help me diagnose the problem, if not solve it? [08:55] don't know blacklisting, so probably not... It was dual boot with XP working, then reload with Ubuntu finds wifi as eth0 but no wired network. [08:55] Novasun: That isn't really my problem. My socket is not faulty, and sound from the speakers does cease when I plug headphones in. What I am asking, is, how can I have two separate volume levels? One when the headphones are plugged in, and one without? Like Windows 7. [08:55] bekks : hey ! what is the difference between locate and finf [08:55] bekks : *find and locate [08:56] locate = where does the system think this is, find = seek out anything matching this pattern wherever I tell it to look kav [08:56] locate is built with a database, that database has to be up-to-date to know exactly the real location [08:57] find is just plain old searching the location without using a database backend [08:57] Jonny1: what software are you using to try and play the audio? [08:57] locate is most of the time faster, but is only usable when it is already indexed :) [08:57] updatedb will update the locate database by the way kav ;) [08:57] http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio [08:57] gzimmerer: does windows find/use it? [08:57] gzimmerer: and is the ethernet working under windows? [08:58] quick Q: my buddy DL'd ubuntu12 but would prefer 10,04LTS, and he's dual-booted w/ windows. Can 10.04 be installed over 12 w/o reinstall windows? [08:58] I have configured pdnsd and dhcp-server on my 11.10 ubuntu server, when I set the pdnsd IP in dhcpd.conf as a option domain-name-servers, then the clients are not able to ping google, but they are able to ping the google ip, any idea? [08:58] bekks : i think i asking a stupid question ............... suppose i want to find all file related to .mp3 then if i type find . *.mp3 [08:58] what shpuld be the output [08:58] Mayazcherquoi http://www.schaeben.info/alsamixer.jpg ?? alsamixer [08:58] gzimmerer: my wireless shows up as Eth1, so that's just a naming convention for network adapters [08:59] bekks : find . *.mp3 [08:59] Yes Windows finds and used it before the wipe [08:59] gzimmerer: did it work in the live environment? could you try to see if it does? [08:59] gzimmerer: can you pastebin your /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [09:00] bekks, locate *.mp3 [09:00] So if I DL 10.04, burn as ISO to disk, can I just reappropriate the space for Ubuntu12 as space for 12? (as long as I get the partition names correct) [09:00] O ! hey ! shafi where is bekks [09:00] gaelfx: I want to route 2 different media players to different outputs on the sound card so I can use one to preview on headphones and the other to play my playlist on loudspeakers. So far I am using Rhythmbox and havent installed a second player yet. But jack control only shows 2 outputs at the moment. [09:01] shafi: do you have any other name servers listed? and what does your resolv.conf look like [09:01] i think he is using ssh server [09:01] alsa mixer is in the software center just type alsa [09:01] L3top : i think he is using ssh server [09:01] L3top, the ISP dns servers are place in pdnsd.conf file, and within the resolve.conf I only have the localhost IP [09:02] full lshw here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069064/ [09:02] rulesd here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069067/ === lud_ is now known as lud [09:02] Jonny1: it sounds as if you will need to designate outputs on the specific media players... if I understand your goal. [09:02] quick Q: my buddy DL'd ubuntu12 but would prefer 10,04LTS, and he's dual-booted w/ windows. Can 10.04 be installed over 12 w/o reinstall windows? [09:02] if you type alsa there are others that show up I haven't tested them [09:02] gaelfx: I have just found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795525 so Im trying changing "default - sample-channels = 2" to "default - sample-channels = 6". I will have to reboot after doing that [09:03] !downgrade | emoney [09:03] emoney: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [09:03] L3top: Yes you understand perfectly. [09:03] !downgrade [09:03] hey ! i want to plug net shutter in my ubuntu , how can i do that without using network connection API [09:03] ubottu, to my mind it's nearly impossible to downgrade... [09:03] cybic_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:03] L3top: but at the moment ubuntu is only showing 2 outputs so I am not as far as allocating players to outputs yet. Need to reboot and see if it works [09:03] BTW, How do you guys make your posts on this thread all the same color? [09:03] downgrade from 12 to 10 is an upgrade, imo. But dont want to start the age-old "unity vs gnome" argument [09:04] emoney, so please do not start ;) [09:04] kav: I am here. Why? [09:04] Jonny1: what does alsamixer show? Does it have a designated headphone mixer? [09:04] bekks : hey ! i want to plug net shutter in my ubuntu , how can i do that without using network connection API [09:04] cybic_, I wont...just helping a buddy start out on ubuntu, and 10.04 is far more user-friendly when migrating from windows [09:05] bekks ; i want to use system files [09:05] kav: Did they three commands I gave you work out? [09:05] emoney, and here it goes again :D [09:06] I'll PM for info if you have? Just so it's off main [09:06] Unfortunately emoney, your question has been answered. [09:06] i haven't try it out , but i have note them ..i will try them after clearing my doubts [09:06] Aha ... [09:06] L3top: For the internal soundcard alsamixer does show a headphone and speaker output. But I need to use the headphone connector to connect a PA system so thats not too helpful as there is only one headphone socket. For USB Audio, alsamixer only shows a single entry "PCM" [09:06] bekks : hey ! i want to plug net shutter in my ubuntu , how can i do that without using network connection API [09:07] kav: What is a "net shutter"? [09:07] Does anyone know which room I would use to send a message to ubuntu maintainers or admins? [09:07] bekks : can you help me [09:07] kav: I never heard of a net shutter until now. [09:07] Jonny1: That is going to be a bit of a trick.

I will have to reboot before I can see if it works. [09:08] bekks : net shutter : is pendrive like connector used to plug externally in computer's slot to use internet === onlyme is now known as PolYMath [09:09] kav: I am sorry, I didnt get that sentence. It makes no sense to me, so please rephrase it. [09:09] Jonny1: this will likely get you 6 chan... but designating them is going to be a trick.

[09:09] bekks : click on that link [09:09] kav: No. Why? [09:10] not if it thinks the front and the back are the same output Jonny1... If I understand your setup correctly.

[09:10] it will show you net shutter ...........................................believe me , its not a virus [09:10] kav: It downt want a picture of a net shutter, I want an explanation what it is doing. And you . key is freaking out. [09:10] what do you mean the screen is not recognized julia... What is the actual problem?

I haven't modified my sources.list in a long long time. Any clues as to what might be wrong? [09:16] kav: And from what I've found in a 30s google experience is, that this "netsetter" is a USB 3G Stick, which uses a Huawei E1550 chipset. [09:17] bekks : yup ! you are right [09:17] julia like how the bars on a wide screen tv movie? [09:17] bekks : can you connect them using system files [09:17] Novasu, no because there is twice the same information [09:18] kav: Huh? You have to configure it. [09:19] bekks : how to configure it ? , i'm a newbie : ) [09:19] Novasun: I was wandering if at least, I could do something to specify things manually [09:19] julia: what resolution is this set at? It sounds as if it is reading EDID data and misreporting... you might have to set a NoEdid value either in xrandr or an xorg.conf... i would have to look up which and how. [09:19] bekks : actually i don't know which file i have to configure [09:20] L3top: it does the same thing whatever the resolution, I tried all, I'm now on 1920x1200 [09:21] L3top: thanks I'll try to have a look at xrandr [09:21] julia: lspci -nn | grep VGA please paste the output [09:21] xrandr [09:22] Anyone know if you can you search http://paste.ubuntu.com for all paste from a specific user?

[09:45] kav: http://www.barregren.se/blog/pop-notification-command-line [09:46] L3top: he did specify some features he wanted === zosk is now known as zoski [09:46] And that changes what? [09:46] kav: also seems to be some built in icons... [09:46] kav notify-send -i face-cool "I'm cool." [09:47] L3top: that changes the fact that if you're asking for a program with specific features, that is not a "poll". the only thing that may have triggered your factoid was the "good" adjective, but that really seems pretty venial. [09:47] Dr_Willis : cool [09:47] cool NielsMkn :) [09:47] what kind of HP was it by the way ? [09:47] So... if you narrow down your poll for a good pdf reader with certain wants it is no longer a poll? [09:48] L3top: correct. [09:48] notify-send -i face-wink "Wink" [09:48] No... no it is not. [09:48] L3top: note the factoid includes "features you require", so it makes sense that if you specify such features, it's fine. [09:48] Priyantha, Its hp dv6 2165tx [09:48] L3top: i wrote the factoid, maybe i know. [09:49] thanks glitsj16 , now I can ping, but when I am trying to browse the squid server give me DNS time out [09:49] I am simply speaking to the terms of the question as I posed it... and yes... you would know. [09:49] thanks Dr_Willis [09:49] L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069117/ [09:49] kav: seems you can use any of the default gnome themes icons without needing to use the full path. [09:50] notify-send -i printer-error "Printer Is On Fire" [09:50] Priyantha, From what I understood, I can't have a FAT partition since as the laptop starts, the bios searches for a fat partition (which is supposed to be the HP Tools Partition) and it halts there if you don't have the proper data in that partition. [09:50] gzimmerer: that should be fine... but I would have put it someplace else. [09:50] udev is a bit weird... but... should be fine. [09:50] cool NielsMkn :) [09:50] Dr_Willis : yup ! and thanks you man ... You are great [09:50] L3top: I will move it. [09:50] yeah that's true yes NielsMkn [09:50] kav: its the alert alias that you are using - that seems to be causing the issue. due to how bash is parseing the alias [09:50] you have to have the HP_Tools partition there [09:50] or nothing :P [09:50] shafi: np, wasn't aware of squid also being in your setup .. i'm afraid i can't help you there [09:51] Priyantha, yeah just learnt that the hard way :P [09:51] Is that laptop by the way fully working with Ubuntu hardware-wise ? [09:51] Dr_Willis : i need one more help [09:51] glitsj16, no problem, but this was a gr8 help, I am trying to find out this time out problem [09:51] Yup, everything works totally fine :) (With a few proprietary drivers though) [09:51] Many thanks [09:51] LjL: This was not my understanding. Clearly I defer to your judgment. I was misinstructed. [09:51] gheghe cool :) that's nice [09:52] So which model do you use? [09:52] Dr_Willis : how to add password in your bash Script when you working on same machine [09:52] I am using a HP Elitebook 8560w [09:53] * L3top wonders if that refers to the wattage [09:53] kav: not sure what you mean by adding a password. [09:53] Dr_Willis : i want to password for my sudo [09:53] shafi: you're welcome .. since 12.04 throws dnsmasq into the mix by default (see http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/) complexities rise a bit .. maybe that page has some info on squid [09:53] kav... again... this is not necessary. You are creating a bad symlink and had weird permissions. [09:53] NielsMkn: LY528EA is the exact type [09:54] glitsj16, ok, thanks [09:54] Priyantha, oh so you do have the option to enable UEFI Boot? :O [09:54] kav: if the script needs sudo rights, then it should ask for the password as part of the script. or you should run the script with sudo. you do NOT put a password IN a script. thats security 101 basics. ;) [09:54] L3top : but i need , i want to learn this [09:55] kav then please learn, never send a pass in the clear. [09:55] kav: if the script is running specific commands that need sudo rights. you can set up the sudoers file where sudo's password is not needed for specific commands. [09:55] so i think thats the 3 only options. [09:55] Dr_Willis : ok ! [09:55] i think that can work [09:55] Yes I have NielsMkn :) [09:55] but don't use it ;) === Hat is now known as Hatt === Hatt is now known as EyesIsMine [09:56] ah, well your laptop is awesome :D Wish I had that one :) [09:57] L3top: to check BIOS I will need to reboot BRB [09:57] L3top: can you answer my PM please? i'd rather discuss this than make it an argument from authority, if you're so inclined [09:57] Dr_Willis : hey is there any system file which can i edit to connect with net setter (USB internet ) [09:57] haha :) [09:58] It's working quite okay now [09:58] after some little tweaks [09:58] Dr_Willis : i don't want to connect my net setter using ubuntu API "network Connection" [09:58] oh you had some problems getting ubuntu on it? [09:59] Can I bring up a degraded nvidia fakeraid 5 using dmraid? [10:00] The BIOS is happy to boot from it, after giving me a Scary Warning [10:00] kav: never heard of 'net setter' so no idea. I just use the normal network manager stuff on my home lans. [10:00] But dmraid just says "wrong # of devices" and refuses to start it [10:00] Dr_Willis : net setter is like mobile broadband [10:00] kav: never used it. Other then basic phone teathering, I only use my home network. [10:01] time to go to work.. bye all. [10:01] Dr_Willis : Ok ! thanks you very much .... you saved my day .....and bye bye [10:01] NielsMkn: yes I had :) it was primary with the graphics [10:01] and that is now solved [10:02] Am I missing something basic, or is dmraid really that broken? [10:02] Priyantha, Cool :D Can't help but feel a bit jealous about the i7 and full hd resolution :P [10:03] haha :) sorry :P [10:03] I bought in the first place a 8540w with the same screen [10:03] but that one broke down [10:03] and got this as a replacement [10:03] Wow thats great :D [10:04] but only after I had asked and asked for replacement because I didn't had any trust anymore in the older one [10:04] :D === onlyme is now known as pollymath [10:04] Hello, I'm using 12.04 and I'm trying to use a Canon Laser Shot LBP-1120 printer but it doesn't print anything, I don't know what to do anymore [10:04] Interesting so you only paid the price difference or did you have something more? :o [10:05] I did not pay anything :) [10:05] but the 'old' one was not that old [10:05] it was bought in december 2010 [10:05] I want a Autostereoscopic tv [10:05] ah so the price was the same for both? [10:05] and in november 2011 it was replaced after dropping it :P and my inssurance paid for that [10:06] yes the price was nearly the same yes [10:06] same class [10:06] and warranty is 3 years [10:07] DarkSim: you have the linux driver installed for that printer? [10:07] I think I installed a driver called 2.40 from Canon's website [10:07] But I am not sure if it really works === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [10:07] Priyantha, pretty cool :D [10:08] Hey ! Priyantha , Novasun , glitsj16 : which is the best server for gaming purpose [10:08] yeah it is NielsMkn :D [10:08] what kind of server do you mea kav ? [10:09] DarkSim: does it show up in CUPS (http://localhost:631)? [10:09] well, I think I am going to download a Debian iso :P [10:09] DarkSim: sorry typo .. http://localhost:631 [10:10] I don't think I can get used to the unity interface [10:10] glitsj16: Yes [10:10] i want to setup server having many client who can communicate with each other and play on same game [10:10] I can't find for example just a simple DPI setting 8)7 [10:10] Priyantha : is there any server [10:10] Would be so much easier if I just could share my desktop with you guys :/ [10:11] DarkSim : means Remote Assistance [10:11] DarkSim: no go when printing test page and/or self test in CUPS? [10:12] It says that the print was successful pretty fast [10:12] but the printer itself never does anything [10:12] DarkSim: I have power now. Did you remove the other various drivers prior to grabbing the cannon driver? === michael is now known as Guest23342 [10:13] I am very new to Linux so I guess I haven't done that yet L3top [10:13] I don't know how to do that [10:14] If it were me... I would try and get back to scratch. Remove the driver you installed from cannon, and then reverse the steps you took with the site which seemed to lead you down this path to begin with. [10:14] DarkSim: ^ [10:14] But how do I remove drivers L3top? [10:15] did you download a deb DarkSim? [10:15] Please find the links for me that you used, and I will try and guide you through backing out so we can start fresh. [10:15] kav, there isn't such thing as a "generic" server for gaming that will support any game... you need a specific server for what you want to play - if i understand your question correctly [10:15] can anyone help me with a shell script? [10:16] I don't think I can find those exact downloads again :/ [10:16] What is the script and what is it supposed to do Saiki? [10:17] L3top: I need an option. "Do you wish to continue?" and a simple y/n if yes, run the script. if no, kill it. [10:17] DarkSim: if you are referring to the Canon link... if you can find the file you downloaded that will suffice... the other one was fairly involved... I will need that one. I can backscroll if need be. My irc client has a DB. I can go back to day one. if I gotta. [10:18] LjL : Could be a WoW Private Server or a Counter Strike server call of duty the popular games. [10:18] L3top: http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/Laser_Shot_LBP-1120.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:14-846492&page=1&type=download [10:19] kav: well, as i said, you need a WoW server program, a CS server program, or a CoD server program. there is no generic program. [10:19] kav: Most WoW servers run on windows, other servers you'll have to dig for [10:19] hello all [10:20] Xenon servers $0.35 per slot or gamingdeluxe 12 slots: £15.00 [10:20] LjL : O ! is their any popular server which is very useful for a beginner to learn [10:20] help me please [10:20] quick question : any one know how to install libMagick++.so.3 onto precise? it was there in oneric, but the upgrade removed it - It's only one application I get that uses it, so was wondering if there was a process to add it back in, or should I just recompile against libMagick++.so.4? [10:20] Must I have the exact downloads just to remove the drivers? [10:20] 7 [10:20] just got back scrolled up :D [10:21] i am install ubuntu 10.04 and i would like update/upgrade my system [10:21] Or, failing that ^ any bright ideas for converting fakeraid in-place to md? :/ [10:21] kav: What are you trying to do, exactly? [10:21] LjL : i'm a newbie , and i want to learn to set up a small server in my house {may contain 3 - 4 PC } [10:21] kav: i'm afraid i don't really know, as i'm not into gaming. but i'd start with something that is in the repositories (mostly open source games), try doing "apt-cache search game server | grep server" [10:22] LjL: most servers won't be found on th repos [10:22] lJL: not like what he's talking [10:22] kav: are yu paying attention to me? [10:23] Saiki: well, servers for open source games can. if he wants to "learn", i don't see how that prevents him from learning... if he wants to install proprietary blobs, he can do that without my help ;) [10:23] Saiki : yup ! === matt_symes is now known as Guest25552 [10:23] kav: What exactly are you trying to accomplish? === mcs_ is now known as matt_symes [10:23] LjL: granted. but even prop. servers take some work [10:23] I think I have tried in total 3 diffrent drivers, no way to remove them all and start fresh without having to find where I downloaded them all [10:24] xubuntu 12.04 new installation + nvidia quadro 620: monitor stays black after loading grub [10:24] 3 - 4 PC clients connected to my PC , i want to control them using My server [10:24] LjL: I'm installing a propiatary server right now myself === lloir is now known as Lloir|ZzZzZz [10:24] How to locate where the binary of a command is? [10:24] how can i do that ? [10:24] Saiki: http://pastebin.com/gHkgDwMS try that. I didn't test but should be right. [10:24] kav: a game server of some sort, or a telnet/ remte controll server? [10:25] L3top: thank you [10:25] ok ! i want to start from beginning then i'll choose a remote controll server [10:25] Would this work in crontab? 1 * * * * init 6 [10:26] Saiki : after that i'll go with gaming server [10:26] L3topI can just use Y) someline here more code here? [10:26] xubuntu 12.04 new installation + nvidia quadro 620: monitor stays black after loading grub what could be wrong?? [10:26] kav:Gaming servers are easier to set up [10:26] Maybe I should back the whole OS back to fresh install? Should be faster, no? L3top [10:27] raven: does the failsafe kernel work? [10:27] O ! i that so , ut still i go with remote controll srver [10:27] kav: That's beyond me. I can't help you there [10:27] i willl go with remote controll server [10:28] Saiki: I am not sure I understand your question. I just used echoes to demonstrate the ability to put a command there... You can do whatever you want before the ;; and Y|y allows upper or lower case. I am not sure I understand your question. [10:28] O ! ok ! can you gave me some links regarding remote controll server [10:28] Saiki: oh... and as I made it a function, it will have to be invoked... obviously... [10:29] L3top: I have reviewed the bios NIC and both onboard and docking station are enabled. Did ifconfig and same result. [10:29] 怎么没人说话啊 [10:29] how do i copy a folder to my iphone? ive mounted it successfully with ifuse, but the cp command is not working [10:29] !cn | joerh99 [10:29] joerh99: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [10:29] L3top: this work? http://pastebin.com/UCDFDsnh [10:29] !in [10:29] #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [10:29] L3top: I want to go to the directory and run the script, as is [10:30] L3topso basically: cd /my/place && ./install.sh [10:30] Saiki seems to work but the strange thing is: this is a testing machine yet and i installed exactly the same setup yesterday and today again - and yesterday it worked without problems. how could that be? [10:30] 谢谢 [10:30] L3top: I think I have had enough for now... thanks for your help (and apparently you give a lot so double thanks) [10:30] 哦 原来如此 [10:31] yes... if you throw the actual ask_them call where you want it in the rest of the script... and quit should probably be exit 0 Saiki [10:31] hey ! LjL are you indian [10:31] Can I back a 12.04 install back to a fresh install, or do I have to reinstall it manually? [10:31] joerh99: ??????????,?????????? ??? [10:31] dangit.. [10:32] 我输入 /join #ubuntu-cn 可是没有反映啊 [10:32] DarkSim: If you have nothing else on the machine you could do a fresh install... but in general one learns from fixing broken things... and when you DO have a ton of data on there, this will not be an option. [10:32] Yeah I know [10:32] joerh99 : just type /j #ubuntu-cn and hit enter , a new tab will open and go there [10:33] but I did install it yesterday and I do only want Firefox, Spotify and that damn Printer to work first [10:33] I can't find anything on net about monitoring currrent clock rates of gpu with nouveau drivers. Is there solution to this? [10:33] gzimmerer: I am sorry... but it looks like your nic is fried... can you see if you have the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ? [10:33] kav, nope [10:33] and there doesn't seem to be a way to back installed drivers so I can't really do anything [10:33] sure [10:33] so, why are you in #ubuntu-in [10:33] there are probably cheaper or better ones then the ones ive listed [10:34] kav: because i'm in many channels as i'm an Ubuntu IRC operator [10:34] LjL : O ! that is great . [10:35] L3top: but if I instructed someone to do that, cp (dir) and run the script. as it stands now, would that work? [10:35] LjL :can you list me some best remote control server name ? [10:35] L3top: ignoring the commands, they will change, obviously [10:35] But after I've done the reinstallation can you get me helped with clean from the start L3top? [10:35] kav, stop with the "best" thing, it's all subjective. but what do you mean by "remote control server"? [10:35] It would have to begin with #!/bin/bash and end with ask_them [10:35] Saiki: [10:35] Saiki seems to work but the strange thing is: this is a testing machine yet and i installed exactly the same setup yesterday and today again - and yesterday it worked without problems. how could that be? [10:35] If I can't get this printer to work, I have no choice but to install WinXP [10:36] raven: I heard you [10:36] raven: my issues issimpler, let me fix mine first. ok? [10:36] LjL : Sorry ... a server to control my clients' activities [10:36] ok [10:37] I'm having trouble installing dtrace. "ERROR: /lib/modules/3.2.0-24-virtual/build does not exist". [10:37] But when I google that, I'm not finding anything useful with my knowledge. [10:37] L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069179/ same as before, I think I am going to try to reload XP and see if I can learn HW and driver set or just dual boot as before. [10:37] DarkSim: I am happy to try and help. Either we can try and find the site with all of the stuff you did, but yes... at this point... a fresh install will take about 30 min. You wont need to do anything magic, just during the installer options, choose "Use entire drive" if there are no other OSes on there [10:38] kav: i don't know, something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagios ? [10:38] LjL : what about OpenSSh server , is it good [10:38] gzimmerer: I have about a 81% confidence level that this nic will not appear in windows... unless you have dumped it into a file in /etc/modprobe.d as a blacklist [10:38] L3top: http://pastebin.com/mph3wJxR [10:39] I'll reinstall and immediately come back here so you can help me right from the start [10:39] how do i copy a folder to my iphone? ive mounted it successfully with ifuse, but the cp command is not working [10:40] Cya in 30-60min L3top [10:40] raven: This isn't my area of knowlage, but I have found that crazily sometimes you can make exact replications and something can be different. In my opinion, it's a matter of luck [10:40] L3top: like that? [10:40] kav: that's a very basic thing any server should have installed. [10:40] LjL : i'm using SSH and SOCKS to connect internet with my firefox ... But i don't know how to use OPENSSH server as a Remote Control Server [10:40] Nicekiwi, use cp -R :) [10:41] AkhlD: whats that? [10:41] kav: uh, you just type "ssh hostname", give your password, and then put commands in it remotely like it were a local shell [10:41] Nicekiwi, that command recursively copy all contents of folders [10:41] kav: OPENSSH isn't a "remote controll server" it's a shell connection [10:41] AkhlD: ahhh sweet [10:42] Hi , I am installing lamp stack by terminal, "sudo tasksel install lamp-server". I unable to type in the password [10:42] Saiki : Okkk ! [10:42] kav: have you ever used FTP? [10:43] Saiki: like this http://pastebin.com/s1HUcvwr [10:43] Saiki : yup ! [10:43] Mlysian: define "unable". does it say it's the wrong password? [10:43] no [10:43] kav: openssh = FTP (but SLIGHTLY different) [10:43] it want me try again [10:43] L3top: thank you [10:43] Saiki: you can literally just drop that into a new text file... name it... say, askem... and type bash askem [10:44] !openssh [10:44] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [10:44] Mlysian: then it's saying it's the wrong password. i assume it happens for anything you do with "sudo"? [10:44] L3top: blacklist is more than I can handle right now. I am US CTime Starbucks is about to open I think I'm ready :) I will raise a glass to you... THANKS L3top!!! [10:44] L3top: ./askthem.sh should work too, yes? [10:44] Saiki, kav: NO. ssh is nothing like ftp [10:44] !ftp [10:44] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [10:44] kav: what is your goal? What are you trying to do [10:44] oCean: OPENSSH, not ssh [10:44] Saiki: difference being? [10:44] yes Saiki. http://pastebin.com/9e6c1FUN [10:44] Saiki: i thought openssh was an implementation of the ssh services [10:45] FileAid on your iPhone/iPod touch then start the app Click on the share Icon then right click Start press Open then right click Start and press Open Enter ftp://(Blank) In the empty blank area, fill in the IP number port it gives you in the application look at the app in your iPhone [10:45] O god ! you are coonfusing me [10:45] LjL: always though of ssh being command like. and open as being more FTP-like [10:45] kav: again, what are you trying to do? I'm not sure what "controlling clients activities" means [10:45] then drag and drop the files [10:45] Saiki: you will want to change that to be an executable to avoid opening with bash. sudo chmod +x askthem.sh [10:45] Saiki: that's not the case to my knowledge. when you install "openssh-client" on an Ubuntu machine, that's what provides the "ssh" command. [10:46] ioCean : i want to set up a server like we have in college [10:46] kav: ok, some details? [10:46] L3top: can that be done and carried over to windows though? [10:47] It is a BorneAgainShellScript... so no. You would need to use a windows scripting language. [10:47] kav: you mean where they can shut down a PC if you're on somehting they don't want you on? [10:47] *BorneAgainSHell script [10:48] details : a server which act as FTP from which my clienst can download , and also manage who log when and when he log out , and what they access [10:48] oCean: (trying to help you on hat lol) [10:48] L3top: I mean. I make it on linux, chmod it and then can I copy it to windows and when it goes to a new linux pc it will work as intended? [10:48] is there any server for me according to my details [10:49] im on Xubuntu, how can i change keyboard layout in order to swith languages when i type? [10:49] Saiki: ah... I believe that would depend on how you copied it. [10:49] L3top: openssh server to windos to ISO [10:50] so windows is client? [10:50] kav: I would suggest you start reading here: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/index.html The guide has various very helpful topics [10:50] L3top: no, linux is client. it's a file I need to share with others [10:50] I really don't know the answer to be honest. I don't even have any windows machines anymore so I can't test... and I mean that you are sshing from windows in putty or something Saiki. [10:50] help [10:50] L3top: it's a server setupscript [10:50] hello ubuntu 8.1 i can't add/remove software, the repositories seem to be bogus or something (specifically Eclipse) [10:50] hey ! can any one help me , how to use FileZilla [10:51] anyone knows how to change keyboard layout?

[10:51] Saiki: that is NOT welcome here [10:51] !upgrade [10:51] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [10:51] Mlysian yes it is invisible [10:51] oh no, i hope the upgrade process is easy [10:51] or ill have to resinstall the virtual machine =) [10:52] L3top: I am sshing from windows, but I have physical access to the machine [10:52] k0nichiwa: if you have decent backups, you could reinstall and restore the data you need [10:52] L3top: I am setting up a server [10:52] oCean : yup ! hey ! i have a doubt , ubuntu launch to two type of falvours 1. ubuntu server 2. desktop ubuntu [10:52] Mlysian: yes, it's invisible [10:52] what is the difference [10:52] Xubuntu change keyboard layout? i need two languages to swith when pressing alt+shift? [10:52] Saiki: so you are using putty on windows? [10:52] oCean, yeah thats one way to do it [10:52] Mlysian: and apparently tasksel is not installed by default [10:52] L3top: WinSCP [10:53] LjL: O [10:53] Mlysian: sudo apt-get install tasksel should get it for you - but maybe there's a reason why it's no longer installed, not sure [10:53] L3top: graphical, not command line [10:53] kav: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications (webserver etc) [10:53] winscp is a must have tool ;) [10:53] I don't know is the answer frankly... With regards to executable bits on shell scripts pulled from ubuntu onto windows... "probably" is the best answer I can give. [10:53] LjL: yes ,I got it from documentation,but can't install [10:54] oCean : O ! [10:54] Mlysian: what happens when you try [10:54] Saiki: I do not understand the roll or necessity of a windows machine at all. [10:54] L3top: quess I won't know till I try lol. I have a gunea pig I can test on :P [10:55] LjL: after type in the password , sudo: tasksel: command not found [10:55] L3top: the windows pc is MY pc. the linux pc is a server VM [10:55] Mlysian: i mean after you try doing "sudo apt-get install tasksel" [10:55] L3top: hence why I am using WinSCP to access it. my windows PC has everthing on i and I'm copying it to the server [10:55] !raid [10:55] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [10:56] LjL: it show [sudo] password for weng: [10:56] hey ! what is software RAID ? i'm confuse [10:56] LjL: I think is my password [10:56] kav: I asked you to start reading the server guide. [10:57] oCean : i'm reading that guid , there i found Software Raid and i get confuse [10:57] LjL: whole process weng@ubuntu:~$ sudo tasksel install lamp-server [10:57] [sudo] password for weng: [10:57] sudo: tasksel: command not found [10:57] L3top: make more sense now? [10:58] you know when you are at the desktop and you can click up at the top where it says Ubuntu and "connect to server" how can I start that another way? [10:58] Mlysian, what i'm saying is that BEFORE running tasksel, you need to INSTALL tasksel. that's done with "sudo apt-get install tasksel" [10:58] Mlysian : install it ................ sudo apt-get install tasksel [10:59] ok, thanks [10:59] So copy the stuff to the server burn the disk from server vm... growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/path/to/image.iso or /dev/sr0 or whatever [11:00] Saiki: ^ [11:00] gtg now later [11:01] L3top: growisofs -Z /update.iso ? [11:01] hm im having more sucess installing eclipse now [11:01] i just added the respository sources from the "upgrade instructions" for 8.1 [11:02] maybe i dont have to upgrade ubuntu [11:02] L3top: growisofs -Z /update.iso or is it.. growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/update.iso ? [11:02] k0nichiwa: please understand that End Of Life also means that you cannot get upgrades/newer versions etc [11:03] well Saiki, you would want to create the iso on linux... so... it gets a bit more complicated... are you trying to make an installable cd/dvd? [11:03] i c its going to install a really old version of eclipse [11:03] indeed [11:03] well 2010 version may be ok for me [11:03] L3top: can im pm you? [11:03] k0nichiwa why not upgrade to 12.04 then? [11:04] growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/home/Saiki/update.iso for instance... unless update.iso was on the root [11:04] sure [11:04] i just use this ubuntu for the occassional linux work, its not a main OS for me currently [11:04] L3top: I'm back, fresh and all [11:04] woohoo [11:04] so if i can install eclipse and compile this eclipse project, thats all i need [11:04] 269 updates from update manager [11:04] k0nichiwa then upgrading to 12.04 may be what you want: better support, newer software, less issues [11:05] oCean , LjL : ifconfig -a | grep eth [11:05] chill out dude, its an OS, its not a cult [11:05] eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:21:a5:a7:a3 .....................what is HWaddr 00:24:21:a5:a7:a3 ? is that my Mac Address [11:05] kav: should be, yes [11:05] you know when you are at the desktop and you can click up at the top where it says Ubuntu and "connect to server" how can I start that another way? [11:06] ur pushing 12.1 on me like your a moonie and 12.1 is the unified church [11:06] LjL : O ! [11:06] k0nichiwa: you mean 12.10? who's pushing 12.10? [11:06] Gonna let it install all these updates first [11:06] then we shall get things going [11:06] oh 12.04 [11:06] whatever =) [11:06] k0nichiwa: you can use other versions too, it's just not recommended to use versions that are EOL [11:07] Even got some hot water with honey in it, let's get to it! [11:08] hello! can i ask something about "quickly"? [11:09] ragon: apparently you never ask about asking a question [11:09] just ask the question [11:09] ok! do you know how i can create a "Save as..." dialog with quickly? [11:10] Hey :) How can I use 7zip software ? I can just use the basic software :/ [11:11] apt-get install 7zip ? [11:11] ragon: if no one here nkows, you could try asking in the #ubuntu-app-devel channel [11:11] knows* [11:12] oCean: nice, thanks! [11:12] LjL : what is PPP0 ? [11:12] I know that it is a Point to Point Protocol .But why we use this protocol ? Is this is a mobile BroadBand Protocol ? If so , then where in File System i can found Its System file to configure . [11:12] L3top: I will soon be at your disposal, updating soon done [11:16] there must be 100 ways to get Ubuntu onto a pendrive.. I'm lost [11:16] whats the benefit of using the pendrive as a live cd? can live cd's be updated? [11:16] zastaph: yes [11:16] zastaph unetbootin is the most used way, what issue are you having? [11:16] zastaph : use unebootin [11:17] and my first thought was simply to boot live cd from cdrom, and just choose install directly to the pendrive [11:17] zastaph: and you store the settings too and pendrives are faster then live cd's I'd say. [11:17] zastaph the benefit is, that it's faster and you can easily erase the pendrive [11:17] but them I read about not good idea to have /tmp partition on the drive, better in ram [11:17] what is PPP ? [11:17] I know that it is a Point to Point Protocol .But why we use this protocol ? Is this is a mobile BroadBand Protocol ? If so , then where in File System i can found Its System file to configure . [11:18] !ppp > kav [11:18] kav, please see my private message [11:19] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent/#Method_1:_Installing_Ubuntu_directly_to_USB_drive_from_installer_CD [11:19] what's the wiki page for ubuntu, package distribution files ? thanks [11:19] it describes the problem with /tmp and wear out [11:19] but I can't seem to find the solution [11:20] why can't the installer just give you the option during install? [11:20] pen drives are more secure since they use transistors normal harddrives that are not solid state have residual paramagnetic traces of old data even when wiped [11:21] stueng : I've add the package with the software-center :/ [11:21] yeah but pendrives wear out === DarkSim_ is now known as DarkSim [11:21] so I want swap/tmp in ram [11:21] Can anyone help me get Jack audio working, please? I get the errors shown at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1069211/. Its the same using a usb sound card or the built in one. My setup (the default) is shown at http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2012-07-01_12_16_40.png [11:21] if you wipe a flash drive it is wiped like if you use kill disk in a live cd [11:22] I just can't find any docs that tell me how [11:22] L3top: I should be ready now! [11:23] Clean install and the first batches of updates are done, I am now at your command [11:24] What is the better ? apt-get remove or apt-get clean ? or other ? [11:25] can someone suggest how the terminal knows in which directory it is when we click on "Open in Terminal " ? which command is it ? [11:25] Hi how do i check if my server needs to be rebooted? Is there any flag sort of thing? [11:25] Krammer: those are totally different commands [11:26] I hate printers [11:26] Don't you? [11:26] to get 7zip, the command is "sudo apt-get install p7zip-full" ? [11:26] mi3: I would guess the terminal would start in its default directory which would be ~ (your home directory). Or maybe it starts in the application directory called by the command you are running [11:26] Jonny1: but which command is it ? [11:27] Krammer: yes, that would install that package [11:27] marun: afaik the server will tell you when you login if it needs to be rebooted [11:27] mi3 : isn't "pwd" ? [11:27] oCean : yes, I've installed that, but now, what I must do to open 7zip ? [11:27] Jonny1: for example, when I installed nautilus open terminal, it gave me the option "Open in terminal" but how does the terminal come to know that I am in that directory ? [11:28] Elchzard: i wanted to write a script to send me automatic notifications when a server needs to be rebooted. So where can I get the status from? [11:29] marun, depends on what you want to use as the trigger to reboot the server [11:29] Krammer: the command is /usr/bin/7z 7z --help shows options (or man 7z) [11:29] Yo, whats up with the HDMI playback for time being?? How come it doesnt 'just-work' :/ [11:29] mi3: Sorry I guess I didnt read from the start of your posting. Could you repeat the whole question (all on one line), please? [11:30] Jonny1: sure [11:30] i have tried multiple approaches, none seemed to work. Only thing left for me - given my knowledge of the sound system - is to manually compile alsa [11:31] can someone suggest how the terminal knows in which directory it is when we click on "Open in Terminal " ? which command is it ? [11:31] Jonny1: for example, when I installed nautilus open terminal, it gave me the option "Open in terminal" but how does the terminal come to know that I am in that directory ? [11:31] i'm reading PPP , then i came to topic wvdial , i open its conf file .... i'm still on mobile Broadband (MTS Mblaze) , so why it don't detect my Modem [11:31] oCean : I cannot use it with Nautilus integration, or like a basic Software ? [11:31] mi3: what do you mean how it knows ? [11:31] mi3: it's passwd through dbus to open a terminal in the current working directory [11:31] whats hdmi playback [11:31] HDMI device shows fine everywhere and modules are loaded, however no audio is sent through.. aplay -D hw:hdmi_ints ..wav ?> channel count not available [11:31] please check this file : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069233/ [11:32] oh its like multiple monitors connected via hdmi cable [11:32] oCean : O_o 7zip is only usable with Terminal ? [11:32] k0; analog audio playback => mini-jack speakers output, digital audio playback => optical jacks etc.. hdmi => passthrough audio to receiving device [11:32] ikonia: umm when we click on open in terminal, it has to issue some command which will enable it to know which directory it will open [11:33] mschr, you mean you connect a multimedia system to your machien using an hdmi cable [11:33] aplay -D plughw:hdmi_ints ..wav no error - yet no sound [11:33] mi3: it's passed through dbus via the desktop [11:33] k0nichiwa yes [11:33] mschr, have you tried mplayer / vlc ? [11:33] k0nichiwa yes ofc [11:33] Try smplayer ... [11:34] mi3: I suspect whatever you are running from the GUI is sending command like /some/path/somefilename. So if you tell it to run in a terminal I would guess the terminal session would run in the directory /some/path as specified in the command sent by the GUI. Sorry if that answer is not helpful [11:34] L3top: Are you still there? [11:34] mschr, any help ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1111396 [11:34] discussions about the topic comes in multiples with many many forums [11:34] Sometimes Windows is better, very better than Linux :/ [11:34] I gave up trying to bring up the raid degraded and restored the metadata from the 3rd disc. [11:34] well yeah but that shows how to tell mplayer to route to the hdmi [11:34] Krammer : what happen ? [11:34] Now it thinks there are 2 arrays, both degraded :( [11:35] mschr, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1111396 [11:35] Krammer : i'll help you [11:35] oh sorry [11:35] mschr mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.3 [11:35] mschr maybe this page is useful - i don't use hdmi myself, so it's just a hint http://voices.canonical.com/david.henningsson/2012/04/14/audio-over-hdmi-and-displayport-in-ubuntu-12-04/ [11:35] f I want it to open in the Downloads folder, now when I click on open in terminal , it will show that the pwd is /Downloads, how does it do that ? its bcos of dbus ? [11:35] mschr, have you tried the various -ao possibilities with mplaye r? [11:35] or what ? [11:35] mi3: the terminal is opened with a current working directory [11:36] ikonia: then what about open in terminal option ? [11:36] mi3: what about it ? [11:36] kav : to have graphical insertion of 7zip :/ [11:36] sorry DarkSim [11:36] HERE [11:36] ikonia: http://i.stack.imgur.com/cArXe.png can you explain this to me ? [11:36] k0nichiwa how would i know for sure which hw:x,y is the right one? [11:36] what parameters is it using ? [11:36] Krammer : Let me see , wait a minute [11:36] for the most part... 730 am now... give me just a minute to finish this. [11:37] kav : to have "add to..." and other things in contextual menu [11:37] mi3: it's opening a terminal with the current working directory as a variable [11:37] mi3: that variable is passed to the terminal when launching, so ti's current directory is where you are [11:37] ikonia: ok, can it be assigned as a keyboard shortcut [11:37] ? [11:37] L3top: Ok :) [11:37] mi3: not really, as there will be no working directory to pass [11:37] (assuming I'm understanding what you mean) [11:37] ikonia: umm ok, thanks for the explanation :D [11:38] mschr there's also this, seems they found a solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1961114 [11:38] mi3: What are you trying to do? [11:38] I wanted to know how it worked, now I know it uses some variable. [11:38] kav : thanks :) and there isn't possibility to get PeaZip or like that on uBuntu ? [11:38] mschr, it probabl isnt the right one for you [11:38] Jonny1: nothing, trying to understand that [11:38] ugh... wifes home... this is gonna be a min DarkSim. [11:38] mschr, you'd have to research that part some more [11:38] L3top: No worries [11:38] Jonny1: thanks to you too [11:39] mschr, maybe its a device listed in your /dev or whatever [11:39] L3top: If I can get this printer to work in the end, it's all worth it [11:39] that linux directory that lists all the devices on your machine [11:39] how to connect virtual box with a 26 i/o audio card (pci)? [11:40] Krammer : in ubuntu their is a Tool 7zip [11:40] mschr, obviously you can make some guesses and try all the possibilities pretty quickly [11:40] mschr, another thing ive found with alsa if you are using that [11:40] Krammer : what you want from it [11:40] is that alsa for me would somtimes have various outputs and inputs set to 0 volume [11:40] i think it was alsactl in a terminal that would let you control that [11:40] kav : not have to use Terminal for 7zip [11:41] kav : graphical insertion like in Windows [11:41] actually , you don't need temianl for that [11:42] What channel should i join to ask about drivers? [11:42] nicholaspugh try #ubuntu [11:42] Krammer : just right click on that you want to encompress , it will encompress [11:42] Kav : and how I do that think ? [11:42] kav : I can't do that :/ [11:43] which distro are you using ? [11:43] Alrighty. Where is a good place to get drivers for a netgear n600 wireless N Adapter? [11:43] what does this do?: fromdos /home/*.sh [11:43] kav : yes I can do that, but there isn't so many options like 7zip software [11:44] mi3: OK. When you click on an application, you are actually calling a shortcut. For example, /some/path/somefilename which has been set up in the shortcut. If you are running gnome you can see this by editing the applications menu and looking at one of the shortcuts for an application. I dont know how to that in unity. If you selected an option to run in terminal then I am not sure if the terminal would run in your home directory ~ or would r [11:44] choose .zip , if you want to that stuff on windows [11:44] i was noticing some bumping 'ticks' on my TV over hdmi once i turn up volume 50% + (very loud). Reinstalled fglrx with one shipped on ubuntu repositories and now its gone (thumbing). yet still no audio [11:44] Krammer : ubuntu offer you many functionality to comtpress [11:45] Jonny1: ok, understood, meaning the parameter cannot be assigned to the shortcut in this case, but it can be assigned only to the open-in-terminal, right [11:45] Krammer : Enjoy Ubuntu ! Feel its Power , you can't imagine what are you using .....Aha !!! [11:46] Saiki in a terminal, type apt-cache show tofrodos to find out what it's for [11:46] kav : I'm just realising that WinRAR is just the better unarchiver x) === lubmil is now known as lub` [11:47] kav : better than 7zip, even on Windows, because we can use Profiles :p [11:47] Krammer : well, you need to spend time on ubuntu . [11:47] MonkeyDust thank you [11:48] Krammer : which Ubuntu version you have [11:48] MonkeyDust: some of these things I'm seeing are completely new to me [11:48] mi3: Yes I think so. You might be able to tell the application you are using to run in a certain directory. Then if you run it in a terminal, the terminal might also run in that directory. Again, I am guessing so someone else correct me please. [11:48] k0nichiwa, MonkeyDust thx but sadly none of the above forum threads is the solution [11:48] Saiki that's called 'learning' [11:49] MonkeyDust: something like that :P [11:49] kav : last times I've spent more time on uBuntu than on Windows, but I'm finding huge defaults of ubuntu which I haven't on other OS :D [11:49] kav : Euhhhh... 12.04 I think :D [11:49] Krammer : are you using Laptop or Desktop for Ubuntu .Which one ? [11:49] Jonny1: yeah, thanks for the explanation, I think I will stay with my present pwd when the terminator starts :D [11:49] the HDMI output device lists fine with aplay -l and pacmd list-sinks both an analogue and the hdmi sinks [11:49] kav : Laptop Acer Aspire 7741G :p [11:50] Krammer : o ! nice [11:50] kav : why ? x) [11:50] krammer : what is your battery backup on ubuntu [11:51] krammer : i think atmost 1.5 hours [11:51] MonkeyDust: in this case it's more "monkey see, monkey do" [11:51] hi [11:51] kav : Only AC :p never use without battery, but with other OS, I can watch 2 movies in one battery life === vato__ is now known as m0ss [11:52] I just made a bootable USB thumb drive in Mac OS X and I can't boot from it..

[11:52] aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav no error, No playback [11:52] krammer : ubuntu has less compatibility with hardware [11:53] is it supposed to auto boot the usb? [11:53] krammer : Ubuntu now saying , that they removed that problem in 12.10 [11:53] MonkeyDust:I'm loking at pre-made scripts [11:53] ok DarkSim... printer model please [11:53] Hello everyone === VirtualBlackness is now known as L3top [11:53] How can i add more apps in the XUBUNTU dock???

[11:55] krammer : LTS means you ubuntu version will pay more attention than others in term of time [11:55] support etc [11:55] Novasun [11:55] its not supposed to, i press alt/option on boot [11:55] but it only recognizes my main hard drive [11:55] L3top: Canon Laser Shot LBP-1120 [11:55] !patience | geobilalis [11:55] geobilalis: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [11:55] Krammer : if you on 11.04 , even then you can upgrad without loss of data [11:56] What country are you in DarkSim [11:56] Sweden [11:56] geobilalis, You want to add another launcher to the panel ?? [11:56] kav : so LTS is for Laptop ? [11:56] have can I check if I have installed java JRE and JDK? [11:57] L3top: Sweden [11:57] I guess not hmm [11:57] krammer : Haha ! well may be .. It designed for both desktop and Laptop [11:57] kav : maybe in one year when i'll go to university I'll happy to have more autonomy :D [11:58] how to connect virtual box with a 26 i/o audio card (pci)? [11:58] Krammer : take an example of MAC , if you have MAC then your Battery Backup will more if you install window / ubuntu on MAC system [11:58] kav : I have not all understood on "LTS means you ubuntu version will pay more attention than others in term of time" :/ [11:59] mschr: have you tested each subdevice on your hdmi card yet? it might be a different subdevice than 1,3 [11:59] Krammer : take an example of MAC , if you have MAC on mac system then your Battery Backup will more compare to when you install window / ubuntu on MAC system [11:59] Krammer : LTS : Long Time Support [12:00] kav : and there is a link between LTS and battery backup ?! [12:00] glitsj16 there is only the one for card 1 [12:00] Krammer : 8.10 is not LTS , after few years Ubuntu will stop making packages for 8.10 [12:01] DarkSim: what does Handböcker mean in English? [12:01] LTS and Battery BAckup has no link [12:01] kav : ooh, I understand now :) [12:01] glitsj16 i know it looks odd and i also find it weird, that the device # starts with 3 [12:01] L3top: Basically it means a guide/manual [12:01] krammer : any other problem [12:02] mschr: can you pastebin aplay -l please, or provide a link to it if you already done that [12:02] kav : but maybe in some years, 12.04 LTS will not be continued to have package ?

So I did when I installed my mom ubuntu. The problem is now, /boot runs full, hence my question if it's possible to keep only the current kernel and the one before that as fallback (automatic) [12:42] mschr: has that other one out... I will find a better msi for your specific card... I am almost done with Dar [12:42] L3top: I think you have to, I remember reading that somewhere [12:43] ARGHH [12:43] DarkSim: just reboot... if you dont mind... I just like reboots.

At least regular Ubuntu install does that. Then -- [13:02] Dual boot is not important here. [13:03] Ok [13:03] The image of the three options was what I was after.

[13:03] You will first need to make some notes on how to set up the disk space. [13:03] oh ok [13:03] Or make sure that you have another computer with IRC available.

[13:04] Ok :P [13:04] Wish me luck XD === qpt is now known as IHateHavingToReg [13:05] Just remember that 'Something else' option, it will allow you to do stuff for the disk space. [13:06] My choices, which I guess are hugely old-fashioned today, are typically a tri-partition of the disk: one part for /, one part for swap and one, the biggest part for /home . [13:07] why is Settings->Sound->Input disabled (dell lat. e5520)? [13:07] But hey, people, I actually came here because I have a question myself. This is about Win 7 double-boot. Please allow me to skim through the Code of Conduct and FAQ first... [13:10] alexander_ : probably because it doesn't detect your microphone ((sound input device) [13:11] OK. Here goes. My problem is sort of this backwards. 'I installed Windows (or another Operating System) and now I can't get into Ubuntu! See the RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows page.' Let me elaborate.

More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [13:12] <[dlp]> Thanks. === setkeh` is now known as setkeh [13:12] This machine has two disk and FIRST, Win 7 was installed on one and both disks were made NTFS. Then I - without doing anything pre-emptive for the disks inside Windows, sorry for this - stuck in Ubu 12.04 Live and made the empty disk NTFS ==> Ext4 and installed Ubuntu there and GRUB to the boot sector of the remaining Windows disk. TO BE CONTINUED -- [13:13] I'm trying to track down the current state of pitivi. There's a bug which says "fix released". https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pitivi/+bug/1001516 -- but this is only to precise-proposed. There's a page with an automatically generated list of packages in the process of SRU: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html -- and it doesn't mention pitivi. [13:13] Launchpad bug 1001516 in pitivi (Ubuntu Precise) "Please SRU to PiTiVi 0.15.2" [High,Fix released] [13:14] Now GRUB boots just fine, Ubuntu boots just fine, and I have set also the Windows disk to mount to Ubuntu via /etc/fstab . CONTINUED -- [13:14] However, when I tried to do a Windows boot, it crashes. I guess this is due to the other disk being 'done stuff to' so that the Windows system information is now incompatible. [13:15] The Windows install I have there is fresh, so I could just well do another install, but I'd try to avoid it, if possible, because then I will have to do also a GRUB reinstall. So are there any easier workarounds for me? [13:16] thaurwylth, grub should have been installed on the kubuntu disk , it would have detected the windows mbr on the other disk , if not sudo update-grub would probly have picked it up [13:16] alexander_: I've gotten you as far as I go (I don't go very far). You probably need to install drivers for your sound device. Find out what sound device you have, and then ask again how to install it. [13:17] Yes, it recognizes the Windows boot just fine. The problems start, when the Windows boot loader kicks in. [13:19] thaurwylth, the mistake was to install grub in the windows boot sector [13:19] This is only me guessing, but I think that the problem is as follows. Windows has stored system information and it thinks that hey, by golly, I should have two NTFS disks here. However, since my Ubuntu installation this has changed. So system information does not match with existing reality ==> crash. [13:19] I see. [13:20] Craaaaap [13:21] hey i'm using Xubuntu and i've got Creative Soundblaster 5.1 Vx soundcard my problem is when i try to listen music or talk in skype sounds coming 2x faster or more and i cant really understand whats going on... anyone can help me? [13:21] installing grub on the kubuntu disk as if it was an independent install works , grub will pick up thgew windows mbr on the other disk during the grub update [13:21] thaurwylth, ^ [13:22] So you don't think changing one of the disks from NTFS to Ext4 is part of the problem at all? [13:22] no [13:22] hi, can someone point me how do i connect to xkb developer [13:23] Will I be able to fix also the Windows MBR without a reinstall? I know that getting GRUB on the other disk should be easy; if nothing else, I can also hack it from the Live stick. [13:23] hi [13:24] hi [13:24] thaurwylth, however windows looks for the /dev/sda/ partition no matter which disk has theat designationeven if it's ext or ntfs [13:24] how to check the load of each process shown with `top`? (not RAM, but load, on a 1-core VPS) [13:25] tezter: the % estimate given by top is not sufficient for you? [13:25] I'm using NFS to access my /home on my main box from my laptops around the house, the /home is on an external HD connected via USB3.0, and sometimes when my client connects, it's really slow, other times it's perfectly fine, can anyone help me diagnose or possibly solve this issue? [13:25] thaurwylth, I'm not sure but perhaps the repair windows optionwith windows install will rstore the mbr [13:25] By the way, goddamnit, it seems that for some reason the Windows system information and, well, full install in general has been done on /dev/sdb . This was done before I got my hands on this computer. [13:26] restore [13:26] I need help related to Usb 3g modem .. please PM me [13:26] alankila: whenever nagios was warning me about high load, i checked with top and not any of the processes was suspicious. [13:26] And, thus, my Ubuntu disk is now /dev/sda . Is this a problem? [13:26] tezter: yes, because load doesn't really relate to CPU use that well. [13:27] tezter: load average is the average number of processes in runnable state, but if they don't run for whatever reason they give a high load average. Often slow i/o causes this, as the processes are runnable but have to wait for disk [13:27] alankila: how else can i find out the bad process? i am pretty sure apache+mysql are OK, but have no idea about postfix and others. [13:27] thaurwylth, not if you managed to install windows onm sdb , however that's probly how kubuntu sees the disk , and windows may see it as sda [13:28] tezter: look for processes that are either in R or D state as shown by top, frequently at the top when measured by cpu usage too [13:28] tezter: also try a program called iotop (may need to be installed first) [13:28] io is fine. i checked this already. === root is now known as Guest70794 [13:29] er ubuntu === nb_ is now known as Guest17106 [13:30] hi~ [13:30] no peaks if no backup is being written at the moment. the downtimes or issues happen at any time, around 3-6 days of running. no peak times, hardly any traffic. [13:30] thaurwylth, the situation I described above happened to me [13:30] OK. Thanks for the help. I'll try to reinstall GRUB on a different MBR, then repair the Windows MBR. I'll also manually take notes of the partition UUID's - at least in the past this has been an important precaution. [13:30] why i have only two screen resolution [13:31] tezter: checked if you are swapping yet? [13:31] tezter: also a popular reason for high load averages [13:31] downloaded an audio driver for latitude which has a deb-archive and a sh-script (to fix mic problem). Packegs is alsa-driver-hda-krug-ubuntu-audio-dev-dkms. How to install? [13:31] (real) RAM usage between 50 and 75%, no warnings. swap around 60MB. [13:31] tezter: I rather mean swapping in dynamic sense, if pages are moving in and out of swap [13:32] alankila: oom-killer was not active. [13:32] although if there's around 50 % free then probably not. [13:32] out of ideas anyway [13:33] alankila: me, too. thanks for the tipp with R/D flag in top. i will try to check it when it happens next time. hard to research because nagious is only telling about the total load in last 5 minutes etc., no hint for the "bad" process there. === stephane is now known as Guest4360 [13:34] tezter: my guess is that it's either swapping or something that slows disk access to much that processes get to waiting. i/o is a common reason for load average that is high while cpu usage is not.

[13:37] why i have only two screen resolution [13:37] 800x600 and 1024x800 [13:38] escott: you there? [13:38] hello. i am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 from usb stick, but it won't get past the loading screen just after booting from usb [13:38] kristenB, yes [13:38] escott: :) [13:38] escott: can we continue our ssh questions? :) [13:38] kristenB, sure [13:39] gaelfx: you are using wireless? my guess is that your wi-fi speed fluctuates and that's the cause of the slowdown [13:39] escott: I didn't do anything since you left, I went to bed too. [13:39] escott: so my question was that I wanted to connect to C through B for rsync. [13:40] I'm never gonna be able to use Ubuntu in this pace [13:40] hi [13:40] kristenB, yeah [13:40] l3top gave up :? http://pastebin.com/jyXGDyEK [13:41] I can't find him, he has been missing for over an hour [13:41] kristenB, so you need to create a Host entry in the config file for C and mention B in the ProxyCommand declaration [13:42] DarkSim, refresh the channel on your problem [13:42] I'm trying to use a Canon Laser Shot LBP-1120, but it doesn't work [13:42] escott: so that would be in .etc/known_hosts ? [13:42] kristenB, no in ~/.ssh/config [13:42] I tried a lot of drivers before but I couldnt get it to print anything, so I went for a fresh reinstallation [13:43] DarkSim, what was L3top having you try [13:43] But then L3top, who was helping, dissappeared [13:43] He said that I should try to print something, but it doesn't find my printer [13:44] escott: how can I specify the port of C? [13:44] power consumption in ubuntu 12.04 is higher!! [13:45] DarkSim, does the printer appear in https://localhost:631 [13:45] escott: Nope [13:45] kristenB, I think there is a Port declaration under Host [13:46] anybody had the same problem? [13:46] kristenB, http://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config [13:46] Except that... What is the easiest way to get GRUB reinstalled on a different MBR? Can I simply edit something in /etc/default/grub and run update-grub? [13:47] escott: I think L3top guided me to install there drivers though: http://www.canon.se/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/Laser_Shot_LBP-1120.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:87-846510&page=1&type=download [13:47] So I should have the drivers installed [13:47] Hello , I want application , system etc on top in ubuntu 12.04 instead of icons on the left. Is it possible ? [13:48] escott: Is it usePrivilegedPort ? [13:48] DarkSim, what files did that create === IHateHavingToReg is now known as InCognitO === InCognitO is now known as InCognitO` [13:48] escott: What files? [13:48] alankila: yeah, using wireless, but I've monitored the connection and it's steady [13:49] DarkSim, the file you installed from canon, what files did it create and install? [13:49] escott: I don't know, I have also rebooted after that like L3top told me to do [13:50] I just ran it with the terminal [13:50] gaelfx: yeah I can get around 8 MB/s over a wireless link here in a steady way when in same room with the server and its wireless card, but put a few walls in between and the link's speed fluctuates quite a bit for me [13:51] kristenB, i think all you need is that proxy command [13:51] gaelfx: if you can prove that simultaneously while NFS speed is low, other transfers are unaffected, then that's a good way to be sure that the wireless is not the cause of the slowdown. (Not sure how you monitor the connection.) [13:52] escott: ok [13:52] kristenB, but it would be something like Host C HostName whatever Port 22 ProxyCommand B:2000 [13:53] escott: I also need to set up a passwordless connection between B and C then ? [13:54] Why must a printer cause so much trouble :( [13:54] kristenB, yes you will want that. all you need to do is run ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id on B to C [13:54] !dhcp [13:54] dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos.

[13:55] USB [13:55] Priyantha: ^ [13:55] Okay [13:55] escott: this time I can just keep the default name for id_rsa ? [13:56] kristenB, yes [13:56] what was the exact type again DarkSim ? [13:56] escott: then ssh-copy-id is to be run on B or C ? [13:56] Priyantha: Canon Laser Shot LBP-1120 [13:56] kristenB, on B to C ssh-copy-id user@C [13:56] thx mate :) [13:57] There is a guide with the drivers I downloaded but I couldn't follow it through [13:57] Maybe that will help you [13:57] escott: how can I add the port specification in that command ? Is it just -p %portnumber ? [13:58] can any body help me to configure 3g USB modem [13:58] kristenB, the ProxyCommand should be a normal ssh command [13:58] DarkSim: http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0040567.asp?model= [13:58] did you download that one ? [13:58] Priyantha: http://www.canon.se/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/Laser_Shot_LBP-1120.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:87-846510&page=1&type=download [13:58] escott: I'm not talking about the ProxyCommand, sorry for the confusion. I was talking about ssh-copy-id [13:59] kristenB, if its not 22 then yes [13:59] escott: I tried t and I get Bad port 'umask 077; test -d ~/.ssh || mkdir ~/.ssh ; cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys' === spacebug is now known as spacebug- [14:00] Priyantha: Seems like mine is a bit newer, the site is in swedish though [14:00] Priyanthat : !dhcp .Can you clear this statement .Please [14:00] ah that one is even newer DarkSim :) [14:00] I see [14:01] kristenB, you can also do it through scp. you can see from the above that ssh-copy-id is just a shell script [14:01] are you running 32bits DarkSim ? [14:01] Priyantha : !dhcp .Can you clear this statement .Please [14:01] Priyantha: L3top guided me so I navigated into the 32-bit debian folder in that folder [14:01] Priyantha: yes 32 [14:01] I'm having trouble with an 11.10 install; there appears to be some kernel installation/dependency issue. The output of dpkg --configure -a shows the issue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069431/ [14:01] what statement kav ? [14:01] Priyantha: and I installed those two files I guess [14:01] !dhcp [14:02] ah okay [14:02] escott: so I just to send the .pub, right ? [14:02] I don't understand your question kav [14:02] mmm strange DarkSim [14:02] the printer gui even doesn't reconize the printer ?

[14:07] Priyantha : i want to understand networking , so i need to understand that line ... I have some doubt about DHCP [14:07] i am running 12.04 on an Acer Aspire 5610, the video freezes and the sound 'skips' until I move the mouse. This happens both online and on DVD [14:07] Priyantha: I'm not sure if it was a problem more than that I just didn't know if I did it correctly [14:07] have to go i'll try again later...ty [14:08] okay :) [14:08] So if this guide is correct Priyantha, let's continue of the step Restart CUPS [14:08] hey ! DarkSim ... Can you also help me to understand that line ? [14:08] I have used Ubuntu approx. 12 hours [14:08] I have no idea :P [14:08] well kav, what DHCP is, it is a service which provide you for example a IP address, Gateway, subnet and stuff [14:08] and also DNS addresses [14:09] Priyantha: Pretty please?

[14:15] Adminkid: why did you leave #archlinux ? [14:15] yes "sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart" [14:16] Hey. I was wondering if someone could help me out. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop using a USB stick, but the install fails with a sequence of error messages, the last one being "ata 7: hard resetting link". I suspect it's something to do with my SSD. I don't have an HDD. [14:16] kristenB, yes you might also want to run ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id to put your public key on A into B [14:16] Priyantha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069461/ [14:16] Priyantha: Because I could not talk on it it did not let me send a message [14:16] is there a way to upgrade to 12.04 server without having to reinstall all the programs? at have "more or les a clean install [14:16] jesper_: I had the some issues, the issue here was a b0rked usb-stick [14:17] jesper_: I tried to use USB stick to install this, CD worked a lot better, try that [14:17] Adminkid: maybe you needed more time ? [14:17] looking at it DarkSim [14:17] I've tried with a CD as well, but I get the same problem [14:17] yeah DarkSim ! that looks great mate :) [14:17] Question for the group: Is there any way to get right to the GRUB options on boot-repair without having to do a time-consuming scan? All I want to do is add the pci=noapci parameter. [14:17] Priyantha: So that is step 4 complete? [14:17] yes DarkSim :) [14:18] no step 5 :) [14:18] Priyantha: Now*? [14:18] Priyantha: i've tried it waith two different usb stick (one of them brand new), as well as a CD - same message in all cases [14:18] DarkSim: yes now :) [14:19] escott: I've tried the tunnel, it works now. But I need to type two passwords, B and C. To get B without password, all I need is to set up ssh-keygen. But why does it ask C password, since it doesn't from B? [14:19] jesper_: strange, than is your hdd/ssd the biggest suspect :( [14:20] kristenB, perhaps the agent is being forwarded. you might want to add A's pub to C's auth_key. [14:20] Priyantha: sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP-1120 -m CNCUPSLBP1120CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 –E [14:20] Priyantha: the weird thing is though that windows 7 says the ssd is fine, and windows 7 also installed without a glitch [14:20] DarkSim: yes exactly yes :) [14:20] Priyantha: I read somewhere that that port is not actual either, do you know what it should be? [14:20] my workstation wont save the dns config using resolv.conf , where would i change it? [14:21] Priyantha: the ccp://localhost:59687 part? === bastidra1or is now known as bastidrazor [14:21] escott: I would rather not have the forwarding, and connect as B. Is that not possible ? [14:21] I thin it is 631 DarkSim [14:21] that's the default port [14:21] kristenB, you should be able to disable agent forwarding in the config file [14:21] although whait [14:21] that port [14:22] Priyantha: ccp://localhost:631 [14:22] that port should be the port of the deamon of the canon tool [14:22] I think [14:22] wait a sec ok :) [14:22] Priyantha: Ok [14:22] Priyantha: Just don't dissappear like the last guy did [14:22] no I don't ;) [14:22] orogor, in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head [14:22] !upgrade | paulus68 [14:22] paulus68: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [14:22] Been here all day for christ sake lol [14:23] hello , when i login only the mouse cursor shows , am havin gnome 2.3 and compiz as windows manager [14:23] Priyantha : have he plug Printer in Computer [14:23] escott: how ? [14:23] escott: also, I've noticed that when I get to C from A, one exit logs me off immediately and gets to A. I don't know if that's expected, but I would have expected to get to B first, and then after another exit, get to A. [14:23] A perfectly good Sunday, for what? A godforsaken Canon printer in a Linux enviroment!!! [14:23] kristenB, ForwardAgent no [14:23] DarkSim : sorry ! bro ! [14:23] kristenB, thats the proxy command [14:23] escott: in ssh/.config of A ? [14:24] kristenB, yes [14:24] DarkSim : try this one chkconfig cups on [14:24] kristenB, you never establish a shell on B, it directly connects the output of A->B to the input of B->C [14:24] kav: What does it do? [14:24] DarkSim: I see that those Canon printers are quite a nightmare in Linux environments :( [14:25] give me some more time plz ;) [14:25] No shit Sherlock :P [14:25] it activate the service of your printer [14:25] escott: but even after the connection is established to C, all the (encrypted) traffic goes through B, right ? [14:25] I'm having issues with my kernel install, which makes me uneasy about the state of this machine and unable to install anything http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069476/ [14:26] kristenB, yes, but there is no shell on B. so when you exit on C then C closes its end of the ssh from B->C and B closes its end of the ssh, and since ssh was the only thing you were running on B it closes its end of A->B [14:26] DarkSim: you may look at this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1315665 [14:26] DarkSim : hey ! can i see your output for chkconfig --list [14:26] there they are talking about compiling the drivers instead using the Canon binaries [14:27] And I do think that that can help maybe [14:27] escott: just for information, in a more advanced setup, would it have been possible to allow only forwarding on B, and not getting a shell? [14:27] kav the first command (chkconfig cups on) tells me that [14:27] chkconfig is not isntalled [14:28] escott: that is to say, in B's config, let A connect to C, but don't allow A to connect to B. [14:28] install it ...Its only about 200 kb [14:28] kristenB, sure. the same way you put command=/bin/false on A, you could put a command="ssh -W " on B [14:28] Aha .. suso apt-get install chkconfig [14:28] sudo apt-get install chkconfig [14:29] done [14:29] chklist -cups -list [14:29] sorry [14:29] escott: that's cool.

I tried to put ForwardAgent no in A's ssh config, but it still asks me for a password if I connect from A to C, although it doesn't from B to C. It looks like it still knows that A is not B. [14:36] How should we find the right localhost port? [14:36] kristenB, for RSA1 keys its just a comment [14:36] DarkSim: "netstat -anp" [14:36] then you'll see all ports for all programs [14:36] escott: ok thanks [14:37] kristenB, you might try it with -v and see what its doing [14:37] I'm running into an issue where httperf on 12.04 claims to be limited by a very low FD_SETSIZE, defaulting to a single socket instead of the provided. Has anyone figured out a work around for this? [14:37] Priyantha: What am I supposed to look for though? [14:37] for ccp for example [14:37] but copy/paste it in a pastebin plz :) [14:37] I'll look for you [14:38] how do i restart computer under ubuntu (no reset button, gui or cli)? [14:38] Priyantha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069495/ [14:38] ctrl-alt-del just prints a bunch of errors [14:39] What is creating this route? default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0 [14:39] are you sure you copy/pasted everything DarkSim ? [14:39] Priyantha : service cups start [14:39] I couldn't go any higher up in the terminal [14:40] okay DarkSim [14:40] to solve that [14:40] i need help installing ubuntu 12.04 on a fresh build? [14:40] go to edit>profiles [14:40] click on the edit butten of the Default profile [14:40] go to the scrolling tab [14:40] eagleman: isn't that just the route for your subet? [14:40] and click on the "unlimited" button [14:41] DarkSim: after that run the same command again plz :) [14:41] linuxist its the ddefault route, the route to the internet [14:41] Eagleman: that would be the other way around - i.e. 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 wouldn't it? [14:42] yes linuxist but something is creating that route on boot [14:42] The route was goodd but i want to ad a new efault route [14:42] Priyantha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069503/ [14:43] Eagleman: just do a "route del default gw 192.168.1.1" [14:43] :) [14:43] thx DarkSim [14:43] Eagleman: put it in /etc/rc.local or something if you can't find out where it's coming from [14:44] unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LYSSNAR 21280 - /var/run/cups/cups.sock [14:44] linuxist i've aded this route before booting: default 546BCA01.cm-12- 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1.10 [14:44] And when i reboot i get this: default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0 [14:44] where are you adding these routes to? [14:44] route add and route dell [14:45] ah yes, well they won't stick around after a reboot [14:45] putting then in my interface file will work? [14:45] I even did one with sudo Priyantha, since I read that in the beginning [14:45] DarkSim: ik don't see the deamon running [14:45] Priyantha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069507/ [14:45] ah thx [14:45] Priyantha :unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LYSSNAR 21280 - /var/run/cups/cups.sock [14:45] yeah in /etc/network/interfaces [14:46] eaw [14:46] eagleman: a quick "man interfaces" should help you out [14:46] can i also ad a route dell in the interface file linuxist? [14:46] Priyantha: Still guess you'll find nothing [14:46] eagleman: you shouldn't need to really [14:46] I;ve found this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-add-permanent-static-routes-in-ubuntu.html [14:46] yes I don't find it no === jeka is now known as [QB]Geladriet [14:46] there should be a process "ccpd running [14:46] Priyantha: So what does that mean? [14:46] Her cups port is 21280 [14:47] can you check if that is running ? [14:47] eaw, it's my first time here [14:47] "sudo ps aux |grep ccpd" [14:47] escott: http://pastebin.com/AFqHsqBc [14:47] it is returns with nothing it's not running [14:47] no ccpd in port number [14:47] user 2871 0.0 0.0 5608 832 pts/0 S+ 16:47 0:00 grep --color=auto ccpd [14:47] okay is not running then [14:47] thx DarkSim [14:48] eagleman: are you using DHCP? [14:48] can you try "sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd start" [14:48] hey ! linuxist ....What is DHCP [14:48] Hello, I'm having trouble installing ubuntu 12.04 LTS from an usb. After booting it is stuck at a black screen saying SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 4.06-pre1 Copyright (c) 1994-2011 H. Peter Anvin et al. Any ideas ? [14:48] and after that again "sudo ps aux |grep ccpd" [14:48] Priyantha: Starting /usr/sbin/ccpd: . [14:48] nice :) [14:49] after that the ps aux command plz again :) [14:49] linuxist should i show you my interface file? [14:49] Priyantha: root 2876 0.0 0.0 6296 996 ?

[14:50] plz provide me again with a "sudo netstat -anp" [14:50] what's the default debugger installed in server edition? [14:50] eagleman: why do you have those two NIC's on the same subnet? [14:50] !dhcp [14:50] dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [14:51] backup nic linuxist [14:51] Please someone give me another server to access, so I know this [14:51] i bought it 2 weeks aigo but i didnt really needd it, maybe in the future [14:51] Priyantha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1069514/ [14:51] eagleman: ok, there's the potential for the system to get confused there I think [14:51] Guest64217: this channel is an ubuntu support channel, do you need help with ubuntu ? [14:51] linuist : Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. ............. can you help me to understand this line [14:52] !repos [14:52] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [14:52] eagleman - best to disable it [14:52] how i can install file.theme?? [14:52] kristenB, its trying A's key to connect to C. i think [14:52] Priyantha: I think I found ccpd at the very top [14:52] after update i am no see desktop [14:52] Guest64217: depends on the type of themes [14:52] Thats not what i want linuxist [14:52] his black [14:52] escott: well that's just wrong, it's not the right lock lol [14:52] kav: that just means that ubuntu uses a program called dhclient to obtain an address from any available DHCP servers on the network which are capable of issuing network configuration information [14:53] I am pretty sure that not the only solution [14:53] themes for irssi [14:53] eagleman: what do you want? [14:53] cool DarkSim :) [14:53] there should be a portnumber too DarkSim [14:53] hello! i'm looking for elp installing 12.04 on a fresh build can someone plz help? [14:53] remove a default route and addd my own [14:53] that portnumber is the one you have to use with step5 of the guide [14:53] if you look Priyantha, it gives me 2 numbers [14:53] what's your question about that? [14:53] eagleman: for both NICs? [14:54] kristenB, just put A's public key on C [14:54] I only want a ddefault route for eth0.10 since its the only one allowedd to connect to the internet [14:54] Is there a particularly smooth way to migrate my users from one machine to another? [14:54] Priyantha: 59787 and 59687 [14:56] I see DarkSim [14:56] eagleman: (I'm not 100% sure of this) I think if you're using DHCP, you can't set the default route in the /etc/network/interfaces file [14:56] escott: but why would I, I don't want that, I want to connect as B. [14:56] I have got no HDMI audio, power meters pulse, playback seems fine but no audio... FIXME : http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=0LJBQAvt [14:56] kristenB, why does it matter? [14:56] linuxist this is what i've got now: [14:56] up route del default dev eth0 [14:56] up route add default gw 84.107.202.1 dev eth1.10 [14:57] I think you have to use the latter one DarkSim [14:57] in my Interface fule [14:57] just follow the guide again I think [14:57] hello,I'm new here [14:57] we have now the daemon up and running [14:57] that's what was needed [14:57] escott: that's what would happen if I did it in two steps, I don't want A's info on C, just on B [14:57] welcome, summershyn [14:57] thanks [14:57] eagleman: I don't understand how that will work [14:57] is that 84.107.202.1 a public address? [14:58] is your system going to get given a DHCP address on the same subet as that address? [14:58] so ok Priyantha: sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP-1120 -m CNCUPSLBP1120CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 –E [14:58] eth0.10 is bridgedd with my router's WAN interfacem so its able to get an extra WAN IP Addddress [14:58] escott: why would it behave differently whether I get to C in two steps or one ? It's just a trick to have less to write, but the end result should be the same [14:58] Yes DarkSim :) [14:58] !migrate [14:59] eagleman: yep, but is your router going to give the correct DHCP information to eth0.10? [14:59] Priyantha: lpadmin: Unknown argument "–E". [14:59] escott: B is work. It's not compromised, but it's work. C is a database of work. I would rather connect to C using my work credential rather than my home's [14:59] yes linuxist but i'm not 100% sure [15:00] eagleman: sounds like this one is beyond me sorry [15:00] lol DarkSim ;) [15:00] ok. no problem [15:00] It took me a week to set it up :P [15:00] Does anyone here play Assaultcube? Or know how I could get to the Assaultcube folder (Normally in Program files on windows) [15:00] DarkSim: have you installed "cups-client" ? [15:00] Priyantha: Sorry if I don't get the funny part ;P [15:00] I'm not sure [15:01] probably not [15:01] if not, please install it "sudo apt-get install cups-client" [15:01] because that is essential for having a printer system up and running ; [15:01] ;) [15:01] Läser paketlistor... Färdig Bygger beroendeträd Läser tillståndsinformation... Färdig cups-client är redan den senaste versionen. 0 att uppgradera, 0 att nyinstallera, 0 att ta bort och 0 att inte uppgradera. [15:02] That means that it is already installed ? [15:02] Priyantha: It tells me cups-client is already latest version [15:02] nothing to do basically [15:02] Does anyone here play Assaultcube? Or know how I could get to the Assaultcube folder (Normally in Program files on windows) [15:02] sparky_: if you installed from repo - "dpkg -L assaultcube" should show paths to installed files [15:03] okay DarkSim [15:03] hello! i'm looking for help installing 12.04 on a fresh build can someone plz help? [15:03] strange [15:03] because lpadmin should be in that specific package [15:03] Is it possible to use sleep 1 in the interface file? [15:03] ah wiat [15:03] the "-E' it didn't understand... [15:03] mmm [15:03] What zykotick9 ? [15:03] escott: I've just read http://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config and I don't think adding ForwardAgent No changed anything, it's the default. [15:04] sparky_, if you are looking for profile type files then look in your home user folder for hidden files either by that name or under .config [15:04] DarkSim: please re-type that "-E" [15:04] It's the "-" which is the fault [15:04] How would I find the hidden files? [15:04] Priyantha: Same command but skip the - infront of E? [15:04] just a 'normal "-" is okay [15:04] no [15:04] -E The -E (preserve environment) option indicates to the [15:05] security policy that the user wishes to preserve their [15:05] existing environment variables. The security policy may [15:05] make a - by your self [15:05] return an error if the -E option is specified and the user [15:05] does not have permission to preserve the environment. [15:05] kav: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:05] not by copy/pasting it from the guide [15:05] sparky_: ctrl+h in nautilus i believe [15:05] the - from the guid is wrong [15:05] sparky_ in nautlus: ctrl h in terminal: ls -la [15:05] sparky_, ctrl + h in nautilus [15:05] ok [15:05] kav: Please learn to use the pastebin [15:05] What is nautilus lol [15:05] !nautilus | sparky_ [15:05] I need Major help, I installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit yesterday and now want to run Ubuntu 12.04 along side it.

Please can you help me [15:06] Eagleman: i wouldn't think so [15:06] DarkSim: stop it [15:06] Sajjad_Kanani wubi :( [15:06] no problem mate kav :) [15:06] is ikonia is a bot [15:06] no [15:06] wubI? [15:06] What is Windows? [15:07] I've been errorshooting something as stupid as a almost dash which is 1mm longer than the usual dash [15:07] ikonia : O ! sorry ...

[15:07] I want to punch someone [15:07] sorry I didn't knew the dash word haha :P [15:07] sorry ;) [15:07] DarkSim: stop now [15:07] I couldn't come up to that word [15:07] I need Major help, I installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit yesterday and now want to run Ubuntu 12.04 along side it. I install it through wubi and on the reboot I get a "Prefix is not set error." Please can you help me [15:08] hi [15:08] hi [15:08] aloha [15:08] how i can install quickly? [15:08] DarkSim : go in some fresh air and then come back [15:08] http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/ [15:08] DarkSim : we are happy to help you [15:08] arvant: install quickly what ? [15:09] arvant install glade [15:09] anyone know the solution to my problem? [15:09] Priyantha : can you help me to understand service management [15:09] maybe later okay kav ? :) [15:09] sorry [15:09] hello, does anyone know how to use the meta key for keybindings in Xfce? [15:09] I need Major help, I installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit yesterday and now want to run Ubuntu 12.04 along side it. I install it through wubi and on the reboot I get a "Prefix is not set error." Please can you help me [15:09] huh [15:09] Priyantha : O k ! [15:10] why is DarkSim gone now ? [15:10] http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/ [15:10] I just started my computer after having it suspended and now it's all black. When I hover certain areas I can see the pointer changing in what I think is the login and I believe I am able to log in. But everything's just black. Does anyone know how I could fix this? [15:10] Sajjad_Kanani, wubi is likely the problem... if you alter things after wubi set up, then the pointers to boot get messed up... alter meaning just a simple ubuntu update [15:10] i think he is upset regarding ubuntu [15:10] Sajjad_Kanani, best is to install ubuntu without wubi from a disk [15:10] or a flash drive [15:11] tobiassjosten: power down and restart, and don't use suspend? [15:11] Doing ctrl+alt+f1 let me run irssi and chat in here at least, so something's working at least. Just not X. [15:11] Quickly will get you up and running with a Python GTK app right away. [15:11] wb da [15:11] TheLordOfTime: That's it? Surely there must be a way to get this working? I mean it does, most of the time. [15:11] wb DarkSim [15:11] let's go further :) [15:11] Sajjad_Kanani, if you install ubuntu on its own, grub should find the win7 and set up a boot option for it [15:12] tobiassjosten: well, apart from killing 'lightdm' (12.04) or 'gdm' (pre-12.04), and then starting that back up, i'm not sure there is anything else you can do. [15:12] Priyantha : where is DarkSim [15:12] tobiassjosten: you could try `sudo killall lightdm` (12.04) [15:12] So if I install Ubuntu on my 7 disk now, it won't delete my files, or format the drive? [15:12] Ah, so *that's* what it changed name to. Tried restarting gdm but there wasn't any such service anymore. [15:13] TheLordOfTime: Thanks, I'll try that. [15:13] tobiassjosten: you may need to manually restart lightdm too, though [15:13] tobiassjosten: i had to kill lightdm yesterday, and it didnt come back up until i manually started it [15:13] (just a little tidbit, might not be the case in your setup) [15:14] Sajjad_Kanani you install ubuntu on a free space (partition), so it won't affect win7 [15:14] i need ubutnu developer chanel [15:14] TheLordOfTime: Yup, that solved the problem. Killed everything I had open but still. Worked. :) [15:14] How can I partition the drive, without formatting it, or losing all my data? [15:14] Which programme? === THE_dreamer is now known as jiohdi [15:14] tobiassjosten: FYI, save items and work before going into standby [15:14] Ohh! Except my tmux session. Nice. [15:14] tobiassjosten: standby sometimes breaks things. [15:15] Sajjad_Kanani launch a live cd or pendrive and use gparted to see if you have free space and/or partition [15:15] Can someone advise me on how to instruct a non-linux user to allow a ssh connection so I can fix their machine? [15:15] TheLordOfTime: Yeah. Well, thanks for helping me find the renamed gdm service. [15:15] escott: are you still there? [15:15] kristenB, yes [15:15] anadon: if you are not capable of talking someone through that, you should not be trying to fix their computer [15:15] tobiassjosten: its not renamed, its a different desktop manager :P [15:16] anadon s/he must have openssh-server installed [15:16] escott: so is there no solution to not give A's key to C ? [15:16] anadon: i agree with ikonia, if you're not able to instruct them, you shouldnt be trying to fix their system [15:16] openssh is installed [15:16] kristenB, thats out of my depth. [15:16] and its because they aren't farmilliar with the environment. I could do it if I were there, but I'm 400+ miles away [15:16] kristenB: what're you trying to do? [15:16] anadon on your friend's pc: client or server? [15:16] * TheLordOfTime doesnt have backlogs [15:17] MonkeyDust: laptop, standard 12.04 install CD with server software added. [15:17] kristenB, http://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-bugs/2011-May/010287.html might be relevant, but i would just put A's key on C [15:18] anadon if you can't ssh to it, then it must be a firewall problem, i guess (ufw) [15:19] TheLordOfTime: I've set up a ssh connection from A to C through B in one step, using the config ssh file and the option ProxyCommand. It works as intended, but asks me the password of C, even though it doesn't when I connect from B to C. I would want to connect to C, in as little command writing as possible, but not changing the usual method of authentication, which is that B connects to C with key pairs. [15:19] anadon, most residential customers are behind NATs these days [15:19] TheLordOfTime: If that's not clear please ask for further details. [15:20] anadon what escott says, the router may block incoming connections [15:21] kristenB: i'm going to have to agree with escott on this, try putting A's key on C and see what happens. that bug he mentioned also may be relevant. [15:22] TheLordOfTime: well I can try it for test purposes, if you want. But that's not the end result I'm looking for, I want to connect to C with B's credentials. If that's not possible, then I'll forget about ProxyCommand and do it in two steps. [15:22] I am using Ubuntu 12.04. I have tried to install a package from a ppa that is failing and now every apt command I try attempts to install the package yet again. [15:23] Actually, it fails at the "Setting up [package]" stage. Removing the package with apt-get remove doesn't work as it still tries to "setup" the package first. [15:24] jdjb a ppa is an "external" and unofficial software source, it is not supported here, you use ppa's at your own risk [15:24] I'm not asking how to install software from a ppa. I'm asking in general how do you get aptitude to remove a package that is sitting in limbo state between "installed" and "setting up" [15:24] jdjb: contact the maintainer of that ppa for assistance with their ppa's packages. [15:25] kristenB, you could try specifying an IdentifyFile directive in the config on B, but i doubt its even being read [15:25] escott: TheLordOfTime: ok I tried adding A's public key to C, and it indeed works. But I would rather not do that. [15:25] kristenB, you could also just steal the id_rsa from B and put it on A, but thats bad practive [15:25] hello can someone point me in the right direction for dealing with usb-serial and their configuring? [15:26] kristenB, im not at all clear why you dont want to do that? [15:26] escott: B is work. It's not compromised, but it's work. C is a database of work. I would rather connect to C using my work credential rather than my home's [15:26] usb-serial converters* sry [15:26] kristenB, in other words you are breaking policy and you want to minimize evidence of it [15:26] lol [15:27] what escott said [15:27] escott: I don't think so. On the contrary, I'm making clear that I'm B when I connect to C. In order words, I'm giving my work ID rather than my home ID, since only my work ID makes sense when I'm at work [15:27] in other* words [15:29] in any case that's what happens when I connect in two steps so I don't see why it would be different when I connect in just one step. [15:29] kristenB, that seems silly. who cares whether the security agent at the door recognizes me as joe or as Mr Black, so long as he gives me authorization consistent with "Senior VP Joe Black" [15:29] Dos anyone know how view the php file on mozzila [15:29] Newb, ??? [15:29] Dos anyone know how view the php file on mozzila [15:29] Dos anyone know how view the php file on mozzila [15:29] woopd [15:30] I have made a index.php, I want to view it on firefox [15:30] escott: how do you mean? [15:30] does anybody use allura to host git repos? [15:30] escott: are you saying that my ID is universal and hence I should just use A's ID anyway ? [15:32] kristenB, authorized_keys is just a list of valid credentials to accept before granting access to the account. it says recognize "David Somerset", "Mr. Fisher", "Sir Hilary Bray", etc as "James Bond 007" and grant such a person access to all files held in the jbond007 account [15:32] Newb, do you want to view the interpreted results? or the php contents? [15:33] kristenB: you are using a netcat proxy on B to reach C from A right. and setting C's username in the .ssh/config on A [15:33] interpretted results [15:33] Newb, have you installed and configured apache? [15:33] Dr_O: I could have used that, but I didn't. I just used the option ProxyCommand in the ssh config file [15:33] So create a new key pair on A and register it in the .ssh/authorised_keys on C [15:34] escott, apache2 [15:34] hello can someone point me in the right direction for dealing with usb-serial converters and their configuration? I can see Ubuntu picks it up as a prolific pl2303 device, but its ttyUSB0 and my software wants it on ttyS# any help is appreciated. I tried to symlink it to /dev/ttyS32 (first available number) but it doesnt work. [15:34] But WHAT does Proxy command run? [15:34] Dr_O: well I don't know, maybe netcat indeed [15:34] escott, Everytime I try and open it in the webrowser, it redirects me to bluefish? [15:35] Well your proxycommand line in A's .ssh/config MUST have the command that is run! [15:35] Dr_O, she is using the new versions built in support, but for reasons I can't fathom wants to use the id_rsa on the intermediary to login to the remote [15:35] Newb: you have to access it through the webserver eg http://localhost/myphpfile.php [15:35] Dr_O: oh I'm sorry I didn't understand your question. The command is 'ssh B -W %h:%p' [15:36] Sorry I'm confusing you I note escott's comment [15:37] wylde, tI dont have a server just my computer with ubuntu desktop [15:37] kristenB, maybe you should turn the agent on. maybe on is what you want not off [15:38] !dmm [15:38] escott: well I think the question is, why connecting with ProxyCommand would give a different result than connecting in two steps ? Isn't that the purpose of ProxyCommand, to make it behave exactly the same as if two authentications were made ? [15:38] escott: let me try that [15:38] what is Device Mapper Multipathing ? [15:39] NO! the proxy command is exactly to make sure that B cannot read any of the communication between A and C [15:39] OK. Thunderbird question. I have 12.04 and Thunderbird. I have an old disk which has, I think, 10.04 and Thunderbird from that era. I would like to bring over old accounts, folders, address book and filters. [15:39] Dr_O, if you are familiar with it perhaps you know. is it possible when using a ProxyCommand to utilize the proxies identify to authenticate to the remote host? [15:40] No I don't think it is [15:40] are pre release updates safe to install? [15:40] oh now I understand, makes sense then === lub` is now known as lubmil [15:41] I mean so far it just didn't make sense, but if the purpose of ProxyCommand is to prevent B from intercepting the content between A and C, then if it is in two steps, it's not the same. [15:41] The proxy command is a command to let port 22 on C be available to A... then you run a NEW ssh excryption etc over that pipe [15:41] Dr_O, in what way is the intermediary prevented from accessing the channel. it runs under my accounts uid on the intermediary, so I should be able to access the memory maps. is the DH key exchange done between the two remotes in proxy mode or something? [15:42] Newb: PHP is server side scripting. If you want to see the output in your browser you need a webserver with PHP installed to view it. [15:42] All you can access is the encrypted packets betwwn A and C [15:42] when using proxy command [15:42] escott: I tried setting ForwardAgent to yes, the result is the same [15:43] wylde, can I run the server in a virtual machine? [15:43] Why can you not either (1) take a copy of public key from B to A [15:44] or make new key on A and put public bit on C [15:44] Newb: yes, or you can just install a lamp on your machine. It really doesn't use much in the way of resources. [15:44] Dr_O: well I could do that, but that would be the private key, wouldn't it? And I don't think it's good practice to give the private key of B to A. [15:45] Well then option (2) create new key pair on A and put public on C [15:45] kristenB: if I create a new keypair, I need to specify the identity with -i, right ? [15:45] kristenB, instead of using the ProxyCommand you could just set the command="ssh C" in B's auth_key [15:45] Dr_O: if I create a new keypair, I need to specify the identity with -i, right ? [15:46] Now that is clever escott... [15:46] Yes prob do need to use -i [15:46] escott: and then from A, ssh B -C ssh C ? [15:46] !lamp > Newb [15:46] Newb, please see my private message [15:47] wylde, how do i view private messages [15:48] !lamp | Newb [15:48] Newb: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [15:48] kristenB, so this will get a little complicated. suppose you need to use B, but you want a nested direct connection to C as well. then you create two identities on A. id_rsa and id_rsa_C. you put both in B's auth key, but for the id_rsa_C line you set command="ssh C". then in A's config file you have Host C, HostName B IdentifyFile id_rsa_C [15:48] Newb: that depends on what irc client you're using. [15:49] wylde, tks, How do i call the server if its virtual, Or do I call the php script from within the virtual server [15:49] kristenB, then when you ssh C it looks at your config and sees that C is really B, and presents id_rsa_C. B sees that id_rsa_C is in the AuthKey but with a restricted command so it opens the channel and runs on your behalf ssh C which uses the id_rsa on B to connect to C [15:49] escott: I see. Alternatively, I think there's an option (-C) in ssh to execute a command rather than give a shell. So couldn't I do ssh B -C ssh C ? [15:50] kristenB, when you ssh B it presents id_rsa to B, which opens a normal ssh session on B [15:50] kristenB, yes that probably easier. one key, but Host C, HostName B Command ssh C [15:50] Newb: if you're going to run a VM as the webserver then you configure the networking so you have access to the VM's IP address, then you would access it like http://vm.ip.address/myphpfile.php [15:50] hello [15:51] kristenB, the problem is that this will break scp [15:51] Newb: but if you just install the lamp to your desktop machine you would put your files into /var/www then access them by http://localhost/myphpfile.php [15:52] escott: I tried it and the error message returned is 'Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.' [15:52] !ask | total_newbie [15:52] total_newbie: 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). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [15:52] How can one properly add Unity integration in the Unity launcher as explained in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqGfsgz1Sl4&list=UUWUDCz-Q0m4qK7lkK4CevQA&index=10&feature=plcp, with an application that was produced using Quickly? How do you properly get a reference to the main application window, like in the video example? [15:52] I am totally new to Linux. I have a Lenovo SL510. Does the latest Ubuntu 64 bit release support Mobile Intel GMA 4500MHD? [15:53] kristenB: add "-t" switch [15:53] Dr_O: come again ? [15:54] -t Force pseudo-tty allocation. [15:54] total_newbie, how much memory have you got in there [15:54] kristenB, the more i think about it the worse an idea it seems. everything is going to be broken scp, ssh -C on A nothing will work write because you are overriding the command options on your way to C and dropping everything else [15:54] from ssh man page [15:54] SkipperBoss 6 GB [15:54] in "sort --key=1,32", is that one key or two? [15:55] wlyde, tkks [15:55] escott: Dr_O: ok nevermind I understand the reasons why it's set that way now. I think I'll just create a new pair on A and give it to C. [15:55] i cannot see a problem. Are you going to dual boot or ubuntu only [15:56] ok so now let's go to the next problem :). I want to rsync from C to A. How could I do that ? [15:56] SkippersBoss Probably Ubuntu only [15:56] can C ssh to A? [15:56] kristenB, just tell rsync to use ssh protocol and it should follow your ssh setup [15:56] hello ! all of you . can any one tell me the command to know all port number and socket number (whether they are open or not ) [15:57] SkippersBoss Is hardware acceleration possible with Ubuntu drivers and Mobile Intel GMA 4500MHD ? [15:57] escott: so what would be the syntax exactly [15:57] ! x1@x1:~$ sudo apt-get install tasksel [15:57] [sudo] password for x1: [15:57] Reading package lists... Done [15:57] Building dependency tree [15:57] Reading state information... Done [15:57] Newb: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:57] tasksel is already the newest version. [15:57] Newb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:57] kav: netstat is the command - "netstat -atp" for tcp ports - I think "netstat -aup" for UDP ports... but check the man page [15:58] hmm i am not te expert on the graphics drivers [15:58] but most cards will be supported [15:58] kristenB, Dr_O is correct if you want to rsync C->A your connections need to be reversed. but from A->C its should just be rsync folder ssh://C:path [15:59] SkippersBoss I need a qualified answer on this ;-) Are there any graphics guys available here? [15:59] Dr_O : what about port number where software installs [15:59] escott: well I'm at A, but I want to copy some files of C. Is that not possible ? [15:59] total_newbie, check the mesa project [16:00] kav: /etc/services is the list of approved numbers [16:00] escott, what is this? [16:00] kristenB, yes but its A->C. so its rsync ssh://C:path localpath [16:00] total_newbie, there you go. :-) [16:00] kav: rpcinfo -p (for port mapper services) [16:00] Hi all. Anyone happen to know where the conf file for "atftp" resides in 12.04? From what I gather from Google, it used to be in /etc/default/ [16:00] SkipperBoss, thanks but what is mesa project? [16:00] but it's not there now, [16:01] total_newbie, http://www.mesa3d.org/ [16:02] escott, do I need that library? Is this a driver? [16:02] total_newbie, thats the driver === massimo is now known as Guest17320 [16:02] escott: wow that's cool it works lol [16:02] escott, OK do I need to manually install it after installing Ubuntu? [16:03] Hi, I have a simple question that I still didn't manage to get from google. I'm using ubuntu and want to check if I have a swap partition if not i would like to create one, but how? [16:03] total_newbie, no [16:03] okay, next question :). [16:03] XiRoN: /sbin/swapon -s [16:03] can I set it so that a ssh connection to A (or B or C, really, doesn't matter now) is somehow notified to the current user ? [16:03] that will list any active swap [16:04] escott, hmm... does this mean that this driver is within the latest Ubuntu and it supports Mobile Intel GMA 4500MHD? [16:04] that is to say, I would like to allow connections to my computer, but get graphically notified by ubuntu that such a connection is taking place [16:05] total_newbie better start from the beginning, what have you done and tried before you came here, what do you want to do [16:05] kristenB, no idea [16:05] total_newbie, in linux most drivers are in the kernel or system apart from some proprietary ones , check your graphic card on google to see if it is supported , or test it with a livecd [16:06] MonkeyDust, total_newbie want confirmation that the IntelGMA 4500 is fully supported before he buys the laptop [16:06] Dr_O : i have a small question regarding ssh , can i ask you ? [16:06] If the ubuntu system needs ram does it take priority over taking swap space or dedicated RAM? [16:07] XiRoN, if the ram is dedicated (ie to the video card) then its untouchable [16:07] SkippersBoss, MonkeyDust, I already have that laptop, but with Win 7 64 bit. I just want to change to Ubuntu 64 bit and need confirmation if it supports Mobile Intel(R) GMA 4500MHD together with hardware acceleration [16:07] kristenB: immidiate ideas are: (1) read the sshd_config man page about ForceCommand and ~/.ssh/rc (2) tail you r log files [16:07] Dr_O : ssh -D 1080 kav@Lex offers me Dynamic IP adresss or what [16:07] kav: go on [16:07] i stand corrected [16:07] -D switch creates a socks proxy [16:08] total_newbie, as i said try with the live cd , you will see or google for it , there is not other fast way to know it [16:08] escott: Sorry what I meant was, If the ubuntu system needs ram does it take priority over taking swap space or physical RAM? [16:08] Dr_O : how can i go for Dynamic IP addressing [16:08] total_newbie, but generally there is a good support [16:08] hmm a life cd could do the trick maybe ?? [16:09] so say I can brows a web site on machine B but on machine A I cannot. so while on A I "ssh -D 1080 B" and set up my web browser on A to use the socks proxy at localhost:1080 [16:09] ghostchick, thanks the only problem is that i already googled it, but i didn't understand a word. This is why i wanted to ask the experts here on the chat :-) [16:09] Dr_O : so that i can be unknown [16:09] kav you can almost always be known [16:09] needing some help with installing 12.04... [16:10] Dr_O : O ! how can be i unknown [16:10] Dr_O: and why do I provide as the forced command ? is there no such software available ? Having it say in the notification bar, how many people connected, and where from ? [16:10] kav: begs the question why do you want to be unknown! [16:10] XiRoN, still not sure what the question means. if there is memory pressure stuff in the LRU will be written out to swap [16:10] total_newbie if that's very new hardware, you may be pioneering and not much support will be available, because it is too new [16:10] kristenB, alert [16:11] MonkeyDust now, this Intel device is from 2008 [16:11] my laptop never liked previous versions, finally got 12.04 to install and i have working wifi finally! but now im getting a black screen.... [16:11] Dr_O : i want to tunnel using ssh with unknown identity [16:11] escott: wow that's funny lol. [16:11] escott: didn't know about that one [16:11] kristenB, going to have a lot of problems with alert though. because that ssh user won't have your environment variables to connect to your existent X session [16:11] total_newbie, like ghostchick has said. run the livecd [16:11] Dr_O : in china , we have to be unknown [16:11] im running the live cd [16:12] MonkeyDust, ghostchick http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_GMA_4500MHD What is libva? Is the information there up to date? [16:13] Ah... well you kav: the tor project might be waht you want but I don't know about that sorry [16:13] Dr_O :tor really sucks [16:14] I'll take your word for it [16:14] Dr_O : sometime it fails and even slow [16:14] YOu can always try to use a chain of open web proxies [16:14] hmm.... [16:15] hey ! can you trace me using ubuntu when i'm chatting with you [16:15] Dr_O: can you do that ? [16:16] kav: you ask the wrong man! [16:16] kav: Anybody can know your Ip adrees [16:16] how vibhav ? Can you tell me ? [16:16] escott: so what other option do I have to get notified ? [16:16] * Dr_O waves goodbye [16:16] escott: that alert thing seemed interesting.

[16:19] XiRoN, no that would be impossible [16:20] escott: Would, or wouldn't? [16:20] XiRoN, totally impossible === qw_ is now known as qw[UA] [16:26] is it safe to have ubuntu and kubuntu installed at the same time? [16:26] escott: ok let's forget about that alert question for now then and jump to another question :) [16:26] escott: Using my previous network architecture, I have a reverse ssh connection from B to A. How could I automatically reconnect in case of power or networking failure ? (using cron, I guess, but how ? If I just ask cron to ssh every 5 minutes, he'll create a new one instead of checking whether it already exists, right?) [16:26] Lymphocyte, you mean on different partions or kde and gnome on the same system? [16:27] kristenB, not with command master [16:27] same partition [16:27] escott: I don't have it setup [16:27] kristenB, i thought you had configured command master auto? [16:27] escott: no in the end I didn't use it [16:28] escott: maybe I should [16:28] kristenB, thats why i would recommend it [16:28] escott: so what's the method again ? [16:29] how do I rotate one of my displays? I just rebooted and one of my monitors came back rotated 90deg. [16:29] my xorg.conf file appears unchanged. [16:29] I'm running is failsafe mode, I have two nvidia cards. [16:30] kristenB, ControlMaster auto ControlPath /tmp/ssh_%r@%h:%p ControlPersist 4h [16:30] I thought I could rotate the display in the NVIDIA X Server Settings menu, but that is not the case. [16:30] what is the /srv directory for? [16:31] I did let the setting upgrade run before I rebooted. [16:31] escott: oh yeah we're back to the /tmp issue lol, I remember why I didn't use it now :) [16:31] hey ! vibhav .Your name seems to be of indian .Are you ? [16:31] escott: so where is that to be added (file, folder and computer) ? [16:32] kav: Could We discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic? :) [16:32] kristenB, the .ssh/config on B [16:32] Ok ! [16:32] Hello, i am having this issue when rebooting: http://imageshack.us/f/819/img20120701173438.jpg/ [16:32] Something is delaying my startup [16:33] Eagleman7: i think if you read it'd explain it [16:33] escott: after Host C ... and on the same level ? [16:33] something's hanging up your networking setup [16:33] Eagleman7: What disto you trayin to boot ? [16:33] ubuntu 12.04 [16:33] TheLordOfTime if i did understand it i wasnt here [16:34] righ [16:34] sorry, wrong window [16:34] actually, it looks like I have the rotate option in my xorg.conf file Option "Rotate" "left" [16:35] do any of you mount your NFS shares on your mac (if you have a mac at home or at work, of course). I am having problems mounting my exported filesystems on my mac (os x lion) [16:35] kristenB, i enable it for all hosts, but you could enable it for specific hosts if you want [16:36] TheLordOfTime you are saying that i have to remove my keyboard and pc screen? [16:36] hiiii [16:36] Eagleman7: no, i was saying that your networking is being delayed [16:36] Yes but why [16:36] what would cause my machine to stop reading the xorg.conf file? [16:36] escott: so how would the syntax differ if it's for one or all? [16:37] Eagleman7: the error tells you that the networking system wasnt able to configure, so it took time to output the kernel-level issues, and then tried to reconfigure. i'm not able to debug that any further right now, i've got to run [16:37] kristenB, i just put it in a Host * declaration at the top [16:37] Eagleman7: my suggestion would be to make sure your network card still works. Is this in a server setup, or a desktop, btw? [16:37] server [16:37] they still work [16:37] able to reach both on their staticly assigned IP Address [16:38] I also do have a VLAN setup: eth0.10 [16:38] which also works [16:41] escott: and if I remember correctly you said it was possible to change the controlPersist to indefinite, what's the syntax again? [16:41] kristenB, ControlPersist yes [16:42] escott: does controlPersit overwrite the default config TCP keepalive option ? [16:43] kristenB, there is a separate keepalive option [16:43] escott: in order words, what does ControlPersist do, exactly ? Does it close the connection if there's no input for 4 hours? [16:43] escott: in other* words. [16:44] unknown keyword in configuration file:gfxboot [16:44] vesamenu.c32:not a COm32 image [16:45] kristenB, i think its just a timeout before it cleans up that temp file [16:45] i want to install new but this is a mistake, how can i sove this escott: oh okay then I can just leave it to 4hours, it won't break the connection ? [16:46] kristenB, after 4 hours it would break the connection, because the persistence file would be invalidated [16:46] i try to install from usb stick :) [16:46] kristenB, the idea is that you start a connection and thats the master. when you close that connection if there are no other connections it would close the master connection and clean up the file [16:46] how can i know what is the architecture of my system ? [16:46] x86 x64 ? [16:46] in the command shell ? [16:47] uname -i [16:47] kristenB, but if you were doing multiple commands one after another you might want to persist the connection for some period after the command terminate [16:47] escott: oh I see [16:47] thanks [16:47] escott: but then [16:47] hey all ubuntuians [16:47] for Ubuntu 10.04 setup - i created /home/spool in a seperate partition. when it later asks if i want to encrypt my /home will it encrypt /var/spool aswell? [16:48] ok, uninstalling an reinstalling the nvidia drivers... wish me luck. [16:48] escott: seeing as the reverse ssh is still an active connection, it would not drop it, would it? [16:48] kristenB, it shouldnt drop an open connection [16:48] escott: okay I get what's the idea behind controlmaster now, thank you [16:48] but any subsequent connections from B->A would be new connections because the control file would not be present [16:49] Anyone here tried to play Wolfenstein ET on 12.04? [16:49] Hello, i am having this issue when rebooting: http://imageshack.us/f/819/img20120701173438.jpg/ [16:50] escott: so now how to check every so often whether the ssh reverse is still active, and activate it if not (due to power failure for example) [16:50] kristenB, i would just run ssh A every few minutes [16:51] kristenB, if the control file is present then its basically a noop [16:51] and with controlMaster, it doesn't create a new connection ? === hybrid__ is now known as hybrid [16:51] escott: I mean, a new connection from within the tunnel that controlMaster created ? [16:52] kristenB, it reuses the existing connection [16:52] escott: so that's some sort of multiplexing ? [16:52] kristenB, yes [16:52] escott: how is it able to differenciate between the different connections ? [16:53] escott: I mean, if I have two shells on X1 and X2 to Y, how is it that the output of a command sent from X1 doesn't appear in X2 ? [16:53] kristenB, it just does. [16:53] escott: I mean, if I have two shells X1 and X2 on X to Y, how is it that the output of a command sent from X1 doesn't appear in X2 ?

[17:02] fluffyguy: it is a bit dated with regards to package names/purging fglrx etc... and xorg.conf is no longer necessary except in odd circumstances... it has been depreciated... however yes... most of that looks fine... esp if you NEED an xorg.conf [17:03] Hello, i am having this issue when rebooting: http://imageshack.us/f/819/img20120701173438.jpg/ [17:04] hi, somebody else have problem with dependencies of nvidia close driver on ubuntu 12.10 alpha2 ?

I made it */1 * * * * Does that seem ok? [17:06] fluffyguy: just be aware, fglrx will not work on that card... and if you have installed fglrx trying, you need to get rid of a lot of stuff.

[17:08] kristenB, yes [17:09] escott: ok edits done. Why is it that now the contents of /etc/crontab and crontab -e differ ?

[17:09] escott: well the user is a sudoer. [17:09] escott: so what's the difference ? [17:10] kristenB, just because a user can sudo doesn't mean that everything they do is done as root [17:10] escott: right [17:10] escott: and where is that file located ? [17:10] kristenB, i think it ends up in /var [17:11] kristenB: '/etc/crontab' is the system crontab. crontabs edited by using crontab -e end up in /var/spool/cron/ === moruk|ZNC is now known as moruk [17:11] Pici: ok thanks [17:12] Is anyone else having screen refresh/window refresh -like issues with google chrome? [17:12] Pici: escott: but that's weird, /var is not specific to one peculiar user. Does that mean that my crons are visible by every user on the machine? [17:12] Like the image loads, but it's ... Hang on lemme tiny pic it [17:12] kristenB, check the permissions on the user specific crontab [17:12] anyone here understand grub loaders [17:13] kristenB: no, /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ is only readable by root and the cron.

[17:17] If I, for instance, resize the image (RES allows drag-resize, for you non-redditors), it forces a window refresh and it's then okay.

[17:19] escott: but in the filename or in the file itself? [17:19] kristenB, but a lot of that is in ps aux anyways [17:19] any [17:19] anyone?

[17:20] hi, does allocating (eg. 64mb of video) ram to a machine, split it between the vm and the os or can i allocate the whole 128mb to the vm.. and have both vm and my os use 128mb of video ram? does this make sense? [17:20] kristenB, you certainly could [17:20] escott: and that would solve the problem, would it not? [17:21] kristenB, the only concern is that the file does give root the ability to access the channel [17:21] kristenB, but root already had access to your keys [17:21] escott: well it's okay since we've made it so that only one command could be issued out of this channel [17:22] i'm using mint 12 which i am told is basically ubuntu? [17:22] kristenB, there could be other security concerns [17:23] igor__, ask in #linuxmint [17:23] kristenB, but those are the only ones i can think of [17:23] escott: hmm [17:23] !mintsupport | igor__ [17:23] igor__: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

[17:29] without hurting either OS [17:29] escott: I have another question. Could I set up ssh so that I can see the remote desktop in a way similar to what vnc does, with -X for example ? So far I've only been able to display one specific application, rather than the whole desktop. [17:30] ok my probleme is carmetal by ubuntu [17:30] phoenix_firebrd: it continued *shrug* [17:30] SirFunk, just as i thought, enjoy [17:30] SirFunk, sometimes all you have to do is ask about it. === andrew is now known as Guest35500 [17:31] haha, yeah thanks [17:31] ok goodbye [17:31] 1U servers are LOUD [17:31] which is better to use?

Was wondering if anyone can point me towards where to get drivers for a Netgear N600 Wireless Adapter. [17:32] hi guys [17:32] L3top: some integrated ati [17:33] just used photorec to recover some textfiles. it generated millions of files. [17:33] after deleting them my harddrive has 4GB space that is no longer usable [17:33] SirFunk: Some of these servers have an onboard KVM interop which makes things dicey. I ask to see if there are two. And there is no way to shut the KVM side off from bios. [17:33] I understand why it happened, but is there is a way to reclaim the space? [17:33] kristenB, you might look at NX === qw_ is now known as qw[UA] [17:34] escott: I did and I'm already using it. Is there no way to do without, just from ssh ? [17:34] kristenB, you could start an Xnest server [17:34] escott: what's that ? [17:35] escott: and in any case, with nx, I'm not able to share a desktop, but rather to open a new connection. [17:35] kristenB, its an x client that draws a root window so you can nest what you want inside === arjan is now known as MrHaas [17:36] escott: could I set nx to share a desktop (the same as the one the remote user is using) rather than an empty profile ? [17:36] kristenB, nx is setup to do that better [17:36] escott: or does Xnest do that ? [17:36] kristenB, alternately look at vnc [17:36] escott: well if it can do better it can do worse too right? :) [17:37] escott: so nx doesn't allow that ? [17:38] kristenB, the design of X is such that a client (window) cannot be moved easily from server (display) to server (display) [17:38] Hello, there! Where are good places to look for reasons of random shutdown in an Ubuntu 11.10 machine? [17:38] escott: not moved, but copied [17:38] thanks for all the help everyone [17:38] escott: is that not possible either ? [17:39] kristenB, to do so requires a virtual x server to act as an intermediary. xnest is one such virtual server, nx also provides a virtual [17:39] FYI: reinstalling google-chrome-stable fixed my issue. [17:39] kristenB, things like vnc work by basically taking screenshots and then sending them across the pipe so if you have a real primary display vnc may make more sense [17:39] escott: but does nx allow to connect to the existing x server used by the remote user, rather than start a new session ? [17:40] kristenB, you might have to change your login when at the physical display, and login to the nx [17:40] escott: come again? [17:41] escott: if I want to connect to B remotely and have the same software launched as when I left, how could I do that with nx? === Mel is now known as Guest3129 [17:41] kristenB, to use X and migrate you need to have a virtual display backing the desktop. so your X server needs to be running the nx client connecting to the NX virtual server. when you leave for the day you would then connect to the NX virtual from the remote location [17:42] so how to do that from a practical point of view? [17:42] kristenB, i've never used nx [17:43] escott: have you used vnc? [17:45] no [17:45] hey [17:45] escott: you wouldn't know how to set it up? [17:45] hi all ..

[18:31] Eagleman7: you may set attribute for the file so that it wont get modified [18:31] Eagleman7: use chattr [18:32] Eagleman7, you would have to change the dhcp server to use a different dns to change what you get from the dhcp server [18:32] and this in my interface file? dns-nameservers 192.168.1.10 8.8.8.8 [18:32] escott Thats not an option [18:32] Eagleman7, then configure network manager to only use the dhcp server for the ip address [18:33] i dont have a network manager [18:33] i'm on a CLI [18:33] Eagleman7: then my method is the best [18:33] Eagleman7: set attribute for the file [18:33] so its impossible to change the file? [18:34] Eagleman7: chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf [18:34] Eagleman7, have you looked in /etc/NetworkManager at all? [18:34] Eagleman7, have you tried using nmcli? [18:35] Eagleman7: setting chattr +i will make the file write protected [18:35] escott there is no thing such as /etc/NetworkManager [18:35] I am running ubuntu server [18:35] i will ranjan thanks [18:36] ranjan: chattr: Operation not supported while reading flags on /etc/resolv.conf [18:37] Eagleman7: did you run the command as root or using sudo? [18:37] Hi everyon. [18:37] Is this the Ubuntu chat room? [18:37] nicecrew: hi :) [18:37] ranjan: root@eagleman:/home/user# [18:37] Great. [18:37] Can anyone help me run Ubuntu on my macbook? [18:40] Eagleman7: you should remove the resolvconf package [18:40] Eagleman7: http://vpnblog.info/change-dns-ubuntu.html [18:40] I'm sory for asking again, just wondering... can anyone help me out? [18:41] I want to run Ubuntu on my mac, just "attempted" to burn iso on a disc. [18:41] Hi, I'm trying to instal ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop right now. After sticking the usb in and restarting the laptop the screen is stuck and displays SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 4.06-pre1 Copyright (c) 1994-2011 H. Peter Anvin et al [18:41] any help is greatly appreciated [18:42] noev: I would help. [18:42] But I am looking for help too. [18:42] And, don't know what to do. [18:42] ditto :P [18:42] noev, did you check the md5 sum on the disk after the burn? [18:42] !md5sum | noev [18:42] noev: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:42] So, there is no one on here that has any knowledge of Ubuntu? :D [18:43] ranjan after removing resolvconf should i also set the +i? [18:43] nicecrew, you havent yet asked an actual question [18:43] nicecrew, people get busy. no need to be rude about it [18:43] nicecrew: loads, but I'm not going to help you with that attitude. [18:43] i did the md5sum already the iso file is ok [18:43] I am not trying to be rude, I was just staing a fact? [18:43] nicecrew, you want help installing ubuntu on a macbook. in which case i would first recommend that you purchase a macbook [18:43] What attitude are you talking about, I put a smiley? [18:43] nicecrew: no, you where asking a question [18:43] Its a fact that everyone in here knows nothing about Ubuntu? [18:43] Okay [18:44] nicecrew: oh, a smiley, that makes it all ok then...... [18:44] noev, try burning a cd instead of usb. i have had issues with some bios booting properly from usb [18:44] Well, I don't see how that's being mean. [18:44] But, I'm sorry. [18:44] Then you're an idiot, which makes anyone helping you, a little pointless [18:44] micah_: will try, thanks [18:44] noev, how about the burned disk? [18:44] So, you guys won't help me? [18:45] nicecrew, whats your question [18:45] noev, nevermind. you were using usb [18:45] Well, I'm trying to run Ubuntu on my mac.. [18:45] I download the iso and it failed to mount. [18:45] easy folks , don't succumb to "attitude" pls , nicecrew , just ask your question [18:45] Just wondering what happened? [18:46] nicecrew, "failed to mount" where? [18:46] how to google "failed to mount"... [18:46] Onto the disk? [18:46] nicecrew, ok i have never owned a mac but...what kind of errors are you getting? is the cd booting at all? did you set your bios to boot from cd? [18:46] IDK. It jsut says failed to mount. === Novasun is now known as nostalgic [18:46] nicecrew, "it"? [18:46] Or it says "Mounting failted" [18:47] I'm not sure escott. That is just what it says. [18:47] nicecrew, when? [18:47] nicecrew, CONTEXT!!!! [18:47] After it finished downloading. [18:47] Context? [18:47] nicecrew, so you are having problems burning the iso to a disk? [18:47] Yes. [18:47] nicecrew, you don't need to mount it after you download it. you need to burn it. there are instructions on the ubuntu.com website with pictures follow them [18:48] But, do I need to burn it to a disk if I want to run it on the mac I am downloading it on. [18:48] I want to send email from terminal, anyone could give me some tips? [18:48] I know that escott. And, I did follow them, but the burning failed because the installation failed. [18:48] nicecrew, yes you will have to burn it to a disk. [18:48] OK. [18:48] so the program is not making an iso ? [18:49] or does it make an iso and does the iso have errors? [18:49] No, it downloaded, but the installation is corrupt. [18:49] Do I need to do some setup ti make "mail" work in the command line? [18:49] When I click the iso it says "no mountable file systems" [18:49] nicecrew, what you are doing is the equivalent of calling the mechanic and saying "my car, a light came on, i turned a switch, help, whats wrong, the light!!!" [18:50] I'm sorry escott. [18:50] I'm not very good at computers. [18:50] herp [18:50] I don't know how I can further explain it because that's all that happened [18:51] .The disc I created is not readable when I put it in, so something is wrong. [18:51] Can you tell your problem again nicecrew? [18:51] nicecrew, you need to tell us what you are doing, where you are doing it, what you have done, and if you are following instructions what instructions you followed [18:51] OK. [18:51] I will go though everything I did... [18:51] you did burn as an image, not data, correct? === root is now known as Guest55912 [18:51] First, I went to Ubuntu website... [18:51] downloaded the iso [18:52] nicecrew, 64bit or 32bit? [18:52] hi all.. [18:52] nicecrew, desktop or server? [18:52] ranjan, hello [18:52] Desktop. [18:52] any channels related to switches or routers? [18:52] 32 bit. [18:52] I click the start download and let it download. [18:52] ranjan, what do you need to know? [18:53] nicecrew, you would probably want the 64bit... but you should be able to use the 32bit [18:53] The download finished and it read beneath it "Mounting Failed". [18:53] @ranjan idk, you can look on the ubuntu website [18:53] nicecrew, that error is just osx being stupid. you can ignore it [18:53] micah_: need to know about applying port security in cisco switches [18:53] OK. [18:53] Well, then I went to burn it. [18:53] I put a blank DVD +R in. [18:54] how to remove a package COMPLETELY [18:54] Used disk utility like it said to burn it. [18:54] --purge doesn't work [18:54] #cisco [18:54] ranjan, what kind of port security? are you trying to setup a firewall? or are you trying to do port forewording? [18:54] One thing was though, it said the disk was supposed to show next to the iso and it didn't. [18:54] can't you use apt-get delete or something like that? [18:54] Could that be a problem? [18:54] or, it maybe does remove it, but (for instance, nginx) it doesn't recreate default files when installed [18:54] or use "aptitude" ? [18:54] when you open the disk what files does it list? [18:55] micah_: to do MAC binding [18:55] None. It says the disk in't readable. [18:55] terminal email: mutt, vim, w3m configured to access gmail. [18:55] sounds like the program for iso burning failed midway [18:55] ranjan, hmm what is your model number of your router? [18:55] @alejandro you can send e mail with vim? [18:55] try burning on a lower speed setting or use a better program [18:56] yes. i do it all of the time. it is great. [18:56] OK. [18:56] Enkwi, yes you can with vim and emacs. [18:56] Is disk utility good? [18:56] could always say screw the cd and use one of the usb creators. [18:56] And, will the disk work on a macbook? intel mac [18:56] micah_: port security in cisco switches [18:56] w3m is needed to read html email better. [18:56] because I would like to create a script to email my IP adress [18:57] Does anyone have any recommendations for a great Sound Conversion GUI? Like SoundConverter, but one that works? I'm looking to convert WAVs to Flac and MP3 but SoundConverter 1.4.4 keeps giving me headaches. Gstreamer errors about not being able to open the resource, even though all of the permissions are properly set. Can't find anything on google either. [18:57] so just need to copy my IP from a txt file [18:57] Enkwi, you dont want to use dyndns? [18:58] escott, want to do it myself, just to work with linux a bit, because I am not too familiar with it yet [18:58] google how to configure mutt, vim and w3m. i do not know about other editors. [18:58] okok thx a lot [18:59] OK. So, I launched disk utility. Inserted a blank CD/DVD. And have the iso in the disk utility panel but the disk is not there with it. [18:59] mail command. is handy and old school [18:59] I'm unsure I do not own one but given the fact ive read that you can install multiple os on it with separate partitions like win7 and osx I dont see why not [18:59] dr_willis yeah do I need to setup a file so mail can work? because I tried but didn't work [19:00] disk utility is for managing hard drives [19:00] dr_willis, he means osx disk utility. doesn't know how to burn in osx [19:00] Enkwi: its doable.. i use dyndns. [19:01] escott: ;) osx should just magically work.... [19:01] Question. I installed, no issues. It loaded, no issues, but then when i rebooted, its a black screen with a cursor. I had checked the cd, and it was fine. So, what could it be? [19:01] ok, i've uninstalled nginx from ubuntu, and deleted manually /etc/nginx and i've installed it again (apt-get install nginx) and rebooted server... [19:01] What are you trying to do on OS X? [19:01] !nomodeset [19:01] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [19:01] there's not /etc/nginx there at all now!! [19:02] Well thx for the help with mail guys!! [19:02] mutt, vim, and w3m is great if you are working off a ubuntu server. [19:03] hi all, just got an acer aspire one with nothing on it. just getting ready to try ubuntu 12.04 any tips? [19:03] dr_wilis, does this apply to 12.04 [19:03] netbook and 12,04 work goodhere [19:04] dsirijus, did you try to sudo apt-get purge ngnix? [19:04] I meant, the http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 [19:04] thought you were using a pc XD [19:04] Im a recent windows convert. So this is a bit confusing. [19:05] Guest8045, a tip would be...try installing it if it works great, if not tell us what issue you are having :) [19:05] nmodeset wirks for most all releases [19:05] micah_, yes [19:06] thanks micah_ ! [19:07] dr_willis...I gather what it is, but not what im supposed to do to fix this. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:08] MissVera: its a common fix for some video issues [19:08] just tryin ubuntu off usb and my screen is only showing the top half? [19:08] Hi all. [19:08] I burned the iso to my disc and now don't know what to do? [19:08] Can anyone please help? [19:08] the !nomodeset page gives how to set it [19:08] Please. :) [19:08] dsirijus, did you just purge it now? or did you do that before you reinstalled it? do a purge then do an sudo apt-get install ngnix [19:09] nicecrew: boot the cd. [19:09] dr_willis It gives info, but, for someone who knows nothing about any of this, it looks like a foreign language [19:09] It's in and nothing is happening dr_willis. [19:09] Do I have to put it in at startup? [19:09] yes nicecrew [19:09] I noticed I had to with my pc. [19:09] OK. [19:09] Then partion it? [19:09] cd in. power on. [19:09] boot from the disc [19:10] OK [19:10] Thanks. [19:10] hi, how do i use dpkg like gdebi without breaking everything? [19:10] dr_willis Would you translate for me? [19:11] MissVera: i thought the screen shots were ckear. im on my phone so cant do i lok more [19:11] boot. hit e. edit the grub line, [19:12] dr_wills, It says before install though... so. littlt too late for tht [19:12] it works either way, [19:12] MissVera, you can still do it after install. just reboot your machine, wait for the grub menu, hit e, add nomodeset to the end. [19:13] askubuntu.com may have guides also [19:13] I dont get a menu [19:13] I get my old HP Screen, and then a cursor.

[19:18] i wanna log whether the actions from that sh file occur [19:18] and it does more then dpkg [19:18] and i'd just like to have the date in there XD [19:18] MissVera, when you restart your computer hold shift [19:19] how can I get the output from date "+%H:%M:%S %d/%m/%y" to print to a file, basically?

[19:26] another question: Can I get something to echo to that file on the same line as the output of date? [19:27] Elchzard use tee [19:27] micah_ Yes.No issues. It installed then loaded. I used it for awhile, then turned it off for the night. Turned it on this morning, and cursor.. [19:27] Elchzard like: date | tee blah [19:27] Ahhh okay, ty [19:27] Elchzard, echo `date` `whatever` [19:27] micah_, the grub file can be also edited from a live cd [19:27] MissVera, is this a server install or desktop? [19:27] Elchzard, or echo -n `date` [19:27] escott: I need the actual output of date command, not just "date" [19:28] Elchzard: I told you ;) [19:28] Can anyone help?

[19:44] Is it possible to set 2 IP's in ? for example: [19:44] |Long|: if you want to give david access to sudo etc, you will need to add him to the sudo group [19:44] Eagleman7: No. [19:44] nicecrew: what are you trying to do? [19:44] create a seperate virtualhost bekks? [19:44] Eagleman7: Yes. [19:44] I'm trying to do a MD5 test on my iso. [19:44] bekks: Ty. [19:44] Since, my CD doesn't seem to be working.. [19:45] nicecrew: Did you try the built in disk check? [19:45] Yes. That was method 1. [19:45] I miswrote, I meant I tried method 1 and 2. [19:45] And what happened? [19:45] For method 2, nothing happened. [19:46] Method 1, there was no MD5 option. [19:46] LjL: that whole sudo thing was kept quiet... [19:46] nicecrew, what about the third method (same as 2 but with "openssl md5" instead of "md5" [19:46] Do I drag the iso in just like method 2? escott [19:46] I mean for the disk check on in the live environment? What exactly happened? [19:47] nicecrew, supposedly\ [19:47] nicecrew: How long did you wait for the command to output something? [19:47] nicecrew, i dont think the md5sum is related to your not booting. you need to do something to tell the computer to boot the cd. it doesnt do so automatically [19:47] I have got no HDMI audio, power meters pulse, playback seems fine but no audio... FIXME : http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=0LJBQAvt [19:47] I know. It said to hold down c and the mouse. [19:48] That didn't work. [19:50] mschr: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh [19:50] In an sh file, will the next line execute when the previous one is FINISHED, or when it's started? [19:51] Eagleman7: finished. [19:51] Elchzard, ; after its finished && after its finished with 0 exit code & after its started [19:51] actionparsnip [19:51] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=05cdf4e9a1b7041fe0efdfe033484793d81eccf1 [19:51] I'm officially lost. I burned the disc and can't seem to find how to get the CD to boot. [19:52] so say one line runs a python script, the next one sends lines to a log file [19:52] can upstart be anymore cryptic ? [19:52] the python script gives output to the terminal [19:52] the lines will print to logfile once the python script is done? [19:52] Failed to spawn myscript main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory [19:52] would be nice to know what file or directory it's talking about [19:52] (by gives output I mean: it keeps the process in the foreground, i don't get another [elchzard@veetor]" [19:53] prompt) === gartral|Away is now known as gartral [19:53] amccloud, where is the script? are you giving a full path? [19:54] mschr: why suchan old release, Lucid only has 9 months support left on desktop. [19:54] mschr: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds then reboot [19:54] escott: https://gist.github.com/2f5736f6e5b5bc8cdab7 [19:54] so say one line runs a python script, the next one sends lines to a log file, and the python script stays in the foreground, the lines will print to the logfile after the python script is done? [19:55] it's in /etc/init/myscript.conf [19:55] Elchzard: No, not after, but while. [19:55] amccloud, are you sure you want a chroot? [19:55] I tried chdir and cd too [19:56] actionparsnip what would be needed to upgrade to 12.04? [19:56] mschr, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:57] ActionParsnip, is the 10 secs the time for the computer to write the info back to disc, would not a sudo sync work also ? [19:57] Hi all. Some of my Ubuntu boxes are acting extremely strange. Their load average is super high and I'm unable to SSH into them. This looks like it happened because of the leap second change. Any ideas? [19:57] Hey, I just heard that you can run linux on virtual machine? How would I do that on my macbook? [19:57] fe80, are you a former debian user? [19:57] amccloud, you probably dont. does it work outside the service declaration? [19:57] CharlieSu: Reboot them. [19:57] mschr: you can do it in one jump as it is LTS to LTS, personaly I'd clean install. You can use Lucid and its fully supported til April next year [19:57] mschr: the command I gave should sort you out [19:57] escott: yes [19:57] ghostchick, i have used everything from debian to gentoo [19:58] bekks: does that fix things or is that just the default answer? [19:58] so, format c:? :p [19:58] CharlieSu: It should fix things. [19:58] bekks: thanks! [19:58] thats why, system is running months at a time uptime, has multiple self-signed programs installed etc [19:58] mschr: well, in linux it's '/' but same differnce. Is this Lucid install quite fresh? [19:59] there's nothing missing, dont worry - have been experimenting slightly with the fglrx though [19:59] mschr, your going from LTS to LTS? i would definintly to a fresh install by downloading and burning the iso [19:59] escott: I have initctl log level set to debug and it's still not outputting anything close to useful :| [20:00] I like the terminal that I get with T better than the terminal I get with the launcher. How can I modify the path used by the launcher? [20:00] amccloud, the chroot in what you posted is wrong, the path should be absolute [20:00] no more talk about cleaning / when i return after a 22 sec reboot plz [20:00] zacktu: if you use terminal a lot I suggest you install guake :) [20:00] actionparsnip: what is quake? [20:00] escott: It's not? [20:00] zacktu: did you ever play quake/half-life etc? [20:01] actionparsnip: no [20:01] amccloud, you should have a single exec line with a full path to the executable [20:01] why does the RAM I bought from newegg crash my PC when written to [20:01] zacktu: its a terminal that hides and shows from the top of the screen on shortcut key [20:01] escott: as I mentioned in the note in the script I pasted I've tried that also [20:01] zacktu: you can set a command going, hide guake and it will continue to run. Also supports tabs [20:02] exec /srv/myscript/env/bin/gunicorn app.wsgi:application -b 0.0.0.0:8000 -w 4 [20:02] i love guake :) [20:02] ok i'll look into quak -- my use of terminal began with ed -- then ex -- then vi [20:02] amccloud, and what error messages do you get when starting it that way? [20:02] zacktu: you can re-show it with the same shortcut to check progrees if the command takes a long time, saves having to hunt for your terminal window [20:02] thanks [20:02] escott: Failed to spawn myscript main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory [20:03] robertzaccour: hey [20:03] Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. [20:03] Anastasius: please don't [20:03] oh, a new Ubuntu user [20:03] amccloud, and what happens when you try to run the exec line on the cli [20:03] ActionParsnip: Fuck off. [20:03] jesus christ. I've got a horribly broken machine, probably because the update from 10.04 to 12.04 broke halfway through. Now it doesn't boot properly and apt-get doesn't work, i.e. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070048/ Can anybody tell me how to get rid of "Package is in a very bad inconsistent state"? [20:03] elcasey: hi I'm new how do I use the Internet [20:04] he's probably just frustrated about somethin [20:04] (this time it's me needing help... -.-) [20:04] #haskell [20:04] ouch [20:04] emet: why do you need internet, don't you have facebook? [20:04] that's true [20:04] Anastasius: please keep the channel family friendly [20:05] Anastasius, is that really necessary? [20:05] Why isn't a facebook included in the latest interation of Ubutnu? [20:05] I don't think it is [20:05] fe80, I asked this question because the mistake you made is often made by former debian users, in ubuntu the dist-upgrade just upgrades all packages , it does not upgrade of version therefore it is quite "safe" [20:05] muelli: if you can find the deb file in /var/cache/apt/archives you can force install it and it may help [20:06] ActionParsnip: Are you the internet police? No? Then go hump a tree. [20:06] !ops | Anastasius [20:06] Anastasius: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - elky, Madpilot, tritium, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, jpds, gnomefreak, bazhang, jussi, Flannel, ikonia, maco, h00k, IdleOne, nhandler or Jordan_U! [20:06] Anastasius, facebook is a website that is viewed through a browser. you can have a facebook on your ubuntu. you have a facebook account on facebook and view it through a browser that you install on ubuntu. [20:06] !ops | Anastasius [20:06] Let us be civil. [20:06] Anastasius: no but I know folks who are [20:06] Oh dear. [20:06] !facebook | Anastasius [20:06] Can someone help me find where I should file a bug when my indicators won't load inside Unity? [20:06] AntiSpamMeta: please be civil, it's a simple thing to achieve [20:06] escott: it works [20:07] ActionParsnip: I find AntiSpamMeta to be quite civil. :-) [20:07] actionparsnip aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav => power meters pulse on HDMI card, no audio playing.. [20:07] escott: when I run the exec by itself [20:07] hm. thx ActionParsnip. I might try to work my way through the whole mess like that. Now it complains about "Package keyboard-configuration is not installed". I'll probably manually install those using dpkg -i. At least I'll try [20:07] mschr: do you get sound from regular speakers? [20:07] ActionParsnip, you do prefer terminator to quake ; ) [20:07] ghostchick: dist-upgrade is the same in debian and ubuntu. it's just a very misunderstood command... [20:07] aplay -D hw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav => aplay: set_params:996: Channels count non available [20:07] ghostchick, you are right there is a seperate command for upgrading to a new release. one that i can't remember right now. thank you for correcting me though. [20:07] actionparsnip yes [20:07] amccloud, not sure then [20:07] ghostchick: i find guake's hide function to be awesome [20:08] is this the wrong place to ask questions about bug placement, is there a better channel to help me with that? [20:08] mschr: great, in the sound settings, is the HDMI set as the output device? [20:08] escott: okay thanks [20:08] zykotick9, i know it is not a separate command but well i was just answering very late because was asking about upgrading of ubuntu releases [20:08] fe80, it is update-manager -d [20:09] fe80, and dont worry it just shows your experience [20:09] ghostchick: -d is development (alpha/beta). fe80 [20:09] muelli: once you get that package fixed then run: sudo apt-get -f install should help === robertzaccour is now known as bollsaq [20:10] twirm: could run: ubuntu-bug ubuntu and it will be moved if necessary [20:10] ActionParsnip yes, card 1 device 3 is the hdmi, all channels are unmuted, pulseaudio has fallback sink to hdmi, sound output setting is hdmi, i pipe aplay through hdmi - same result, looks like its playing but no audio [20:10] ghostchick, sudo -do-release upgrade , add the -d argument for upgrading to a development release [20:10] and yes, volume is up on TV as well :) [20:10] mschr: my sound troubleshooting is not great. Have you tried Precise liveUSB / CD to see if it's ok there [20:11] oops wrong syntax , the command is sudo do-release-upgrade [20:11] nope [20:11] zykotick9, then it shows how much i m into betas sorry [20:11] ActionParsnip: let's hope so. But the update-manager, which I called but which for some unknown reason crashed half way through, probably does more than apt-getting all the necessary packages, no? So can I (easily and) manually do what update-manager does? [20:11] ghostchick,^ [20:11] mschr: could be worth a try, just to test [20:12] Hello, I'm having some trouble with my ppa, ive uploaded a precise package to launchpad, via dput, and that reported OK [20:12] but its not showing up in the launchpad web interface [20:13] attempting to upload again simply results in "already been uploaded" msg [20:13] mycae a ppa is an "external" and unofficial software source, it is not supported here, you use ppa's at your own risk [20:14] ActionParsnip, what package are the application indicators (clock, time, messaging) inside of for unity? [20:14] MonkeyDust, Im *providing* the ppa [20:14] its *launchpad* that is not working, apparently. [20:14] or ive done something wrong in the upload. [20:14] mycae: did you check your email? the upload may have been rejected [20:14] twirm: not sure tbh [20:15] ah, thanks trism [20:15] ActionParsnip, awesome, I just stuck it inside Unity [20:15] hopefully that gets it taken care of [20:15] Does anyone know how to switch between desktops (eg. gnome, kde) without touching gdm or kdm? I want to know the command line to do that [20:16] nullslash: you mean by editing your .dmrc? [20:17] actionparsnip have no cd's at hand im afraid - i know for a fact though, that it has run before even automatically changing audio itself (mby during gnome-session login though) [20:18] so trying the beta fglrx [20:19] how can I transfer a file through the serial port connection by scp command? what do I suppose to write for the "root@remote.host" part? [20:19] serial port? whats connected to the other end? [20:19] Anyone with good lftp config loading experience that can confirm this will work? http://pastebin.com/eVhZKBB9 [20:19] Dr_Willis, ha, let me test it [20:20] hi [20:20] an embedded board that runs ubuntu as well, but it does not have the internet connection [20:20] angs: No. [20:20] I just have the serial port connection [20:20] angs: if its using a serial connection, you would use some sort of serial terminal app. Unless its set up to use SLIP or some other sort of network0ng over serial port thing. [20:20] Does the power management setting "spin down hard disks when possible", only apply to external hard drives? Because I can forsee the operating system HD being accessed way too often to be spun down. [20:20] what's the easiest way to share files between ubuntu desktops for people that have never used ubuntu before? I know I can just use scp/sftp myself, but what about for people that have no Linux experience? [20:21] angs try scp file [user]@[remote ip]/home/[remote user] [20:21] diegoviola: Dropbox? [20:21] angs: does the thing have some sort of ip# over the serial port? [20:21] MonkeyDust: He has no remote IP on the serial connection. [20:21] bekks idd, i'm wrong there [20:21] no ip = no useing of scp. :) as far as i know [20:21] diegoviola: if it's a local network, check out nfs [20:22] MonkeyDust: it does not have IP address since it is not connected to the net. what do I suppose to write for the [remote ip]? [20:22] thanks [20:22] angs: you can have an ip for yur local lan. and not be on the 'net' [20:22] and yes, it's for local network [20:22] angs: you may be needing to check the docs for that board. [20:22] Dr_Willis: it has a static IP number that I assigned before [20:23] angs: then it does have an ip... [20:23] I am using minicom package [20:23] minicom is a serial app. it wouldebt be using the ip# [20:23] angs: You cant use scp over a serial connection, unless you set up something like the already mentioned SLIP, or similar. [20:23] !info minicom [20:23] minicom (source: minicom): friendly menu driven serial communication program. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5-2 (precise), package size 284 kB, installed size 1176 kB [20:23] diegoviola, you can use nfs, smb, or heck even ftp would be simple enough. [20:24] hey yall [20:24] fe80: smb and ftp are bad suggestions. diegoviola [20:24] if you use minicom to get a 'shell' on the Board. then it Might support zmodem, or other protocals. [20:25] zykotick9, why are they bad suggestions? [20:25] Hi everyone need some linux noobs pls [20:25] Dr_Willis: i recall trying (and failing) to use minicom to connect with a cisco router. ended up using lower level tools - but forget the details :( [20:25] need a dynamic dns server for linux [20:25] Oo [20:25] I tried the static IP that I assigned before, but scp did not work for it. is there any package/command to transfer a file through the serial port connection? [20:26] fe80: smb is windows and thus unreliable/buggy. ftp just needs to die! [20:26] Does the power management setting "spin down hard disks when possible", only apply to external hard drives? Because I can forsee the operating system HD being accessed way too often to be spun down. [20:26] dont use static ip instaid use port forwarding [20:26] i need a dynamic dns server for linux [20:26] please help [20:27] CMO how is that ubuntu related? [20:27] CMO: could use no-ip or dydns so you can use a name. Thet IP to name resolutionj will get updated regularly [20:27] CMO: unless you assign DHCP to always assign the same IP - static ips and port forwarding go hand-in-hand. [20:27] i would like to create my own dynamic dns [20:27] server [20:27] CMO: Why do you need a DNS server? Are you port forwarding from the LAN to your PC? [20:27] zykotick9, well i was seeing ftp as a good option linked with a firefox accessing it or any simple ftp application , what is the future ftp ; ) [20:28] zykotick9, i know smb is for windows isnt that what he needed and since when did it become unreliable and buggy. i use it every day and have for years. and ftp is very stable and fast not to mention makes sure that the file you are trying to access makes it across the network complete. [20:28] CMO: if you want to manage a DNS you can use dnsmasq. It also gives a DHCP service if you desire [20:28] CMO i guess your pc then needs dhcpd [20:28] fe80: smb can also be used by mac [20:28] ghostchick: see http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie [20:28] dnsmasq does it support dynamic dns [20:28] What is androids irc channel [20:29] CMO: what do you mean "dynamic dns" [20:29] harris: /msg alis list *android* will tell you [20:29] well such as freedns [20:29] What [20:29] CMO: if your IP is dynamic on the WAN side of your router then you can use the client app to refresh the IP on the DNS service you use [20:29] ActionParsnip, exactly it's cross platform which is why i suggested it :). zykotick9 [20:30] I need a app That gives my tablet face I unlock [20:30] CMO, i know no-ip has a linux client as i have used it before. [20:30] R 350 + 12.9 beta = nono, confirmed.. [20:30] CMO: if you want your web facing IP to resolve to a name, you can use no-ip or dydns, you don't need any DNS servers installing on your system [20:31] just a dum question can i use dnsmasq to configure my router dns 2 it [20:31] My Webcam says it's connected via usb. WTF? Do I have an internal USB adapter just for the webcam, or something? [20:31] CMO: No. [20:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070087/ [20:31] CMO: no, you will need to access the config page of therouter [20:31] That's the sh script and the output I get when I try to run it [20:31] actionparsnip i do however have a device or resource busy now -,- [20:31] zykotick9, thanks for the link , well it might be a strong worded but most remarks are interesting , so now which is the future option you recommend,, and well even bash compared to fish or zsh is the past [20:31] Am I gonna have to edit the .py for that to actually run in the background, or has anyone got any ideas? [20:32] thanks cmo but would it let me control the dns server if i configure it and my pc is a part of local area [20:32] ICWiener, alot of internal devices run on the usb protocols. thus your internal webcam could be shown as connected via usb [20:32] thanks bekks but would it let me control the dns server if i configure it and my pc is a part of local area [20:32] Hi. Does anyone know how I can delete all user accounts from Ubuntu 12.04 so that the next time the machine boots it goes to the setup users stage? [20:32] ICWiener, internal devices like webcams and some microphones i should specify... [20:32] CMO: if you have a local DNS server you can configure it as you desire. It's not needed if you have a DNS name registered to your IP [20:32] ghostchick: nfs for local (unix native) or scp/sshfs for remote would be my suggestions [20:33] CMO: Uhm, no. [20:33] t [20:33] Jonny1, i don't think it will [20:33] zykotick9, thanks for the nfs ; ) [20:33] thanks bekks for all ur help and thanks everyone you the BEST Nan1a OUT! [20:34] root in irc. o.O [20:34] Jonny1: If you delete the files in your user's home (except ~/.bashrc and ~/.profile) the user will get vanilla settings next login [20:34] anyone know of any good encrypted note systems similar to tomboy? [20:34] Jonny1, you can remove users one at a time by using userdel [20:34] Jonny1, but if you remove everything it will not do what you asked for. [20:35] goddard, gnome only? [20:35] Jonny1: isn't the initial user setup during install? i don't remember seeing any program after that does that prompting? [20:35] Jonny1, you can also setup a new user, and then remove all else [20:35] ghostchick: it doesn't matter [20:35] what is the android channel [20:35] Jonny1, use useradd to add a new user, userdel to remove users [20:36] !alis | harrrismrubin [20:36] harrrismrubin: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [20:36] I was wondering the same thing [20:36] what??? [20:36] goddard, well baskets has encrypted settings , but there is various others [20:37] ghostchick: ill look into it even terminal based would be fine [20:37] goddard: gnote is a c++ port of tomboy, not sure about your encryption requirement. [20:37] harrrismrubin it's #android, but you need to register to have access, just tried [20:38] what do you mean register [20:38] !register | harrrismrubin [20:38] harrrismrubin: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [20:38] zykotick9: does it upload to ubuntuone and stuff? [20:38] i have an idea partitioning my system : / into a 20 gb SSD.... and /home on a regular 2TB hdd........makes any sense ?? [20:38] Does the power management setting "spin down hard disks when possible", only apply to external hard drives? Because I can forsee the operating system HD being accessed way too often to be spun down. [20:38] i have to register my nickname to go on #androud [20:38] ActionParsnip: no. unless you put it's directory in a sync folder. [20:38] fe80: Cottus: zykotick9: ActionParsnip: Thanks all for the suggestions. I am about to sell my old PC but I wanted to leave Ubuntu there but ready for the new owner to setup their own user account. Like the computer is when you first install Ubuntu. Maybe I should just do a clean install fom the CD. [20:39] #android [20:39] harrrismrubin yes [20:39] zykotick9: cool, just curious :) [20:39] Jonny1, setup a new user, and remove all rest, [20:39] supercom32: As far as I know it applies to all disks. If you're not loading new programs and have a reasonable amount of RAM, your OS drive may not be accessed as frequently as you think. [20:39] Jonny1, by installing you'll still have to setup a new user [20:39] Jonny1, you may look at downloading the alternate iso, you can do an oem type install so all they will need to do when recieving the pc is to setup there username password and other simple settings like that [20:40] Jonny1, i agree with fe80 [20:40] Cottus: Good point. fe80: Yes thats exactly what I want. An oem install. === harrrismrubin is now known as your_favorite_ha [20:41] Thanks everyone [20:41] harrismrubin [20:41] Jonny1, you are welcome :) [20:41] creature: Do you happen to know what the interval for that would be? I mean, the interval that Ubuntu waits before it considers a drive idle? [20:42] supercom32: Something tells me it's 5 seconds, but I have no idea if that's true or not. I'd suspect it backs onto the ACPI settings. [20:42] how do i change my nick back to harrrismrubin [20:42] !nick [20:42] Your nick is how people know you on IRC.

[20:43] I have a problem with network manager not auto starting connections. [20:43] supercom32: http://askubuntu.com/questions/39760/how-can-i-control-hdd-spin-down-time might help. [20:43] Jonny1 there's oem-config [20:45] MonkeyDust: Thanks. I will google that [20:45] Network will not auto-start my VPN connection though I have that option checked. [20:45] Num83rGuy: is the confg for the connection to atoconnect? Are you using DHCP? [20:46] Num83rGuy: ahh vpn [20:46] !vpn [20:46] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [20:46] Num83rGuy: may help [20:46] ActionParsnip: Thanks I will look into it. [20:46] Num83rGuy: let me search too [20:47] can anyone tell me why one hfs+ drive connectd through eSata would be rw but another hfs+ drive is read only? neither have journaling enabled [20:47] Num83rGuy: if you add a startup item to run: nmcli con up id ConnectionName it will connect ConnectionName for you [20:47] second drive connected through USB [20:48] Jonny1, MonkeyDusk, problem with just running oem-config is it will not wipe the system back to a fresh install and the other users will still be there unless you remove manually. installing via oem install will use oem-config [20:48] sarsaeol: are the partitions healthy and unmounted gracefully last time they were unplugged [20:48] sarsaeol: if you just rip the USB from the system without first ejecting it, it makes issues [20:48] yes, the second usb drive was formatted using gparted but has never been able to be written... always unmounte3d using gparted or disk util [20:48] fe80: I think I will do a clean oem install from the alternate CD. That way I can wipe everything and there wont be any broken packages left either [20:49] ActionParsnip: i would never be so cruel to my drives :) [20:50] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the startup line. The linked article was of little help though. [20:50] sarsaeol: you'd be suprised what people do, then get issues and act all confused [20:50] Jonny1, i think that would be best. MonkyDust has the right idea in suggesting oem-config. but it would be best to have a clean install for your customer [20:50] Num83rGuy: hopefully the command will fly :) [20:51] fe80: Yes and to be honest there are a few broken packages as things keep crashing [20:52] ActionParsnip: mabe i will just try these kernel uupdates i have slated... seems like mutiple things relating to USB do not work [20:52] i.e USb 3 [20:52] ghostchick: that app is pretty nice i think it will work well thanks [20:53] anyone heard of USB3 issues with 3.2.0-25-generic ? [20:53] goddard, nice nickname btw, but yes basket is rather cool , a shame it does not handle wikilinks as well as tomboy/gnote(or that they are not more developed) [20:54] sarsaeol, i have had no issues with usb3, have you checked 'mount' to see how your drives were mounted? [20:55] * sarsaeol runs man mount [20:56] fe80 is there somethi8ng liek a verbose flag i should be looking for? [20:56] sarsaeol: just type mount [20:57] sarsaeol, mount -l or just mount === ryan is now known as Guest64660 [20:59] weird... mount says rw [20:59] sarsaeol, does it show a mode? [21:00] re,nosuid,uhelper=udisks) [21:00] nodev [21:01] is it possible to make gnome shell trigger on background mouse clicks, [21:01] q2 is it possible to use global menu in gnome shell [21:01] q3 is it possible to make the 'expose' view in gnome shell bigger windows (less spacing beetween them) [21:02] fe80: i thnik dmesg even says it shoudl write: [sdc] Write Protect is off === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [21:03] what options are active on the one that is working? [21:03] sarsaeol, what options are active on the one that is working? [21:03] fe80: uno moment\ [21:04] ceti331, most of your questions lead to modifying the gnome-shell by extensions , so most of them would be possible [21:06] can i add ubuntu to my android tablet without rooting [21:06] i am afraid i will brick if i root [21:06] out of the box i much prefer ubuntu unity [21:06] but with those tweaks gnome shell would be better [21:07] fe80: the output of mount for each disk is identical [21:08] sarsaeol, are you getting an error when attempting to write to the device? [21:08] except for dev assignment and partition name of course [21:08] permission denied [21:09] can i add ubuntu to my8 android tablet without rooting [21:09] ceti331: wihout much tweaking, lubuntu is pretty sweet [21:09] what is lubuntu [21:10] harris: ubuntu lite [21:10] harrrismrubin, it is an ubuntu spin which uses lxde [21:10] harrrismrubin, very lightweight [21:11] harrrismrubin: ubuntu with LXDE by default insteaad of gnome and Unity [21:11] what is ubuntu lite [21:11] harrrismrubin: ^ [21:11] ok [21:11] sarsaeol, can you view the permissions for the drive? [21:11] sarsaeol, what is ubuntu lite [21:11] harrrismrubin: lubuntu uses significant;y fewer resources, its good for low end systems or people wanting a responsive OS [21:12] is it the same thing [21:12] sarsaeol, has this drive ever worked with linux before? [21:12] harrrismrubin: its fully supported by the ubuntu community [21:12] harrrismrubin: i ind of made that up... listen to fe80 or ActionParsnip... lubuntu IS pretty lightweight tho [21:12] harrrismrubin, he meant ubuntu lite as in very light resources. [21:12] lubuntu for android [21:12] harrrismrubin: check some screenshots online or youtube :) [21:13] ok cool i want ubuntu on my tablet [21:13] but i dont want to root [21:13] fe80: no i have not seen it work with any linux yet... let me try on my 10.04 box [21:13] harrrismrubin: ubuntu disables root by default [21:14] hey all, i'm having a problem getting the liveCD to work with my hardware [21:14] sarsaeol, ok it may have some windows specific permissions set on it that would prevent you from writeing to it [21:14] so i have to root to get ubuntu [21:14] harrrismrubin: Yes. [21:14] fe80: i formetted it with gparted tho [21:14] and hfs is mac [21:14] why [21:14] when i boot, my display stops working... and its unresponsive. do you have any ideas why that might be? [21:14] harrrismrubin: Because you cant install anything else than Android otherwise. [21:15] fe80: but let me still check my 10.04 box... its pretty reliable [21:15] what do you get out of having ubuntu on tablet [21:15] harrrismrubin, im not sure if you would have to root your android to install ubuntu. [21:15] bekks: you can, users can use the marketplace and install apps [21:16] ActionParsnip: Ah, ok. [21:16] sarsaeol, oh i did not realize you had used gparted. and i have never owned a mac :) [21:16] harrrismrubin: you dont need to root your device to install normal apps in android [21:17] harrrismrubin, to install ubuntu onto your android device you will actually be running ubuntu in a seperate app then using a vnc client to connect to the running vnc server in ubuntu. [21:18] what english please [21:18] sigh... drive has same issue on 10.054 [21:18] how do i install ubuntu [21:18] 10.04* [21:18] on my tablet [21:18] harrrismrubin: he is saying ubuntu needs to be3 run as an app [21:19] no9t as an os [21:19] harrrismrubin, http://www.redmondpie.com/install-and-run-ubuntu-on-your-android-device-with-ubuntu-installer-download-now/ [21:19] harris, not without 'root' [21:19] sarsaoel, try reformatting it with gparted [21:20] fe80: well okay but that will be like the 3rd time [21:20] fe80: gonna reboot to get these updates in [21:20] brb [21:21] is it easy to root [21:21] --dport auth which port is auth? [21:21] or what is auth? [21:21] anybody knows about knoppix plz [21:21] harrrismrubin ask in #android [21:21] harrrismrubin, everything i have rooted i have been able to do very easy usually with a one-click program. [21:22] knoppix123: try the #knoppix channel [21:22] i caqnt join #android [21:22] harrrismrubin: the guys in #freenode will help you register [21:22] harrrismrubin, register your nick [21:22] !nick | harrrismrubin [21:22] harrrismrubin: Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with freenode. [21:22] how to get there i'm new to this things sir any help [21:22] knoppix123: /join #knoppix [21:22] --dport auth which port is auth? === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [21:23] What's a good way to manage uid/gid for a Win7 NFS client? Is there a service like LDAP or something that the ubuntu nfs host can run? [21:23] ok thanks i guess i got it [21:23] is it worth it to have ubuntu on tablet === mackenzie is now known as Mackenzie [21:24] --dport auth what is auth? [21:24] so here's a reason why we're all in this chatroom on ubuntu and not the windows chatroom on windows [21:24] harrrismrubin: if you want. depends on need [21:24] "I was dual-booting Windows 7 and XP (each on their own HDD). On Windows 7 I visited a website with some java exploit which very quickly broke my installation and made Windows 7 unbootable. I deleted the partition and now I am just using XP but when it starts Avast detects a rootkit on the Windows 7 hard drive, which leads me to believe the rootkit is somehow embedded in the bootloader. Is..." [21:24] it's always worth it to have ubuntu: unless you're playing a game that isn't supported on ubuntu [21:24] i want to be able to put my music on my tablet from ubuntu [21:25] helloworld321: isn't that what consoles are for? my computer doesn't have a 1200w 7.1 hd sound system, or a 120hz 55" LED screen [21:25] linux_is_my_hero: i'd ask in ##windows [21:25] harrismrubin: no problem. Install ubuntu as normal, and look up any "10 things to do after installing ubuntu" and most of them will reference at least one media package. [21:26] harrrismrubin: you can transfer data to and from the tablet using ubuntu [21:26] Eagleman7: auth is an old service that external processed could use to ask which uid owns particular socket [21:26] only safe place to run Windows is in a vm [21:26] harrrismrubin, i honestly dont see much of a point in running ubuntu on your android tablet unless you have a specific use to do so. [21:27] Eagleman7: they send a query like 'the connection with local port x and remote port y, which uid created it' and the auth service would say 'oh that is user account abcdefgh' [21:27] why do other people install it [21:27] linux_is_my_hero: yes, that's absolutely what consoles are for. I have no idea why certain PC games don't have a console port, but perhaps we digress. [21:27] harrrismrubin, mostly for the nerd factor of "Hey i have ubuntu running on my android" [21:27] helloworld: but my PS3 does! go mancave. [21:28] Is there a debugging kernel I can install to debug hardware problems? [21:28] harrrismrubin: cos they can, or to challenge themselves. many other reasons exist [21:28] my tablet is not compatible with ubuntu so i cant add music to my tab from ubuntu pc right now [21:29] harrrismrubin: sure you can [21:29] if i root and download app will i be able to [21:29] barrrismrubin: what about google music? it has an upload/sync app for apple, windows, and ubuntu. and you can get to it from any web-enabled device, and iOS and android have their own apps and the interface is amazing [21:29] harrrismrubin, if all you want to do is have your music from you computer on your tablet you can just copy them over through your usb cable [21:29] harrrismrubin: if you run an sftp server on your system you can connect to it with andftp [21:29] harrrismrubin: or you can send data over bluetooth [21:29] harrrismrubin: andsmb can access samba shares over wifi [21:30] my pc doesnt have bluetooth when i plug in usb cable i get error message [21:30] me also notes that android app writers can use jcifs to access samba shares [21:30] can he use myth or xbms to serve media to his win tablet? [21:30] eh, missing / [21:30] I installed windows 8, but now after running grub-install /dev/sda my computer still keeps booting windows, can someone help? [21:30] harrrismrubin: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-easily-mount-the-galaxy-nexus-on-ubuntu-11-10-via-unity [21:30] actionparsnip: i was making fun of windows for being overly complex and stupid [21:31] nibohr: you have multiple harddisks? does bios boot that harddrive, preferentially? [21:31] nibohr: if you run: sudo update-grub do you see the boot? [21:31] i have galaxy tab 2 10.1 ActionParsnip [21:31] I get "[Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged" but there is nothing to check.. [21:31] harrrismrubin: it may still apply [21:31] that is in kern.log [21:31] alankila: yes I have 2 disks, it boots the ssd, where windows and my old ubuntu installation is on [21:31] nibohr: Hopefully you won't need to use it, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair might come in handy. [21:31] ska: Did you check with mcelog ? [21:31] ActionParsnip: it finds all my operating systems, but it still starts only windows [21:31] harrrismrubin: sharing a folder will be a super easy way, you can install openssh-server and conenct over sftp [21:32] nibohr: and sda is the one with windows? [21:32] Is there an authentication service that the ubuntu nfs host can run, to map uid/gid to a Win7 NFS client? [21:32] bekks: no, where is it? [21:33] what is sftp [21:33] harrrismrubin: secure ftp [21:33] do i install that in ubuntu or android [21:34] harrrismrubin: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [21:34] hi [21:34] is there a point to having ubuntu on tablet [21:34] can anyone help me get the networking to work on my ubuntu netbook? [21:34] how do I get the best set up for graphics card drivers? [21:34] harrrismrubin: you wil get an sftp server by default, you can then install andftp and connect to the sftp server. You will then be able to transfer data to and from the system using wifi [21:34] im installing ubuntu as a server and im currently at "enter your hostname"-screen, its set default to localhost.localdomain. I want to name the server mercury and got a domain semsei.com should i type in mercury.semsei.com? [21:34] myersg: what network technology do you use? [21:35] Would this work ( the port range ) iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT? [21:35] rynkan: I'm no expert, but that sounds pretty darn applicable. [21:35] rynkan: probably yes. You can fix things up later though, for instance the hostname in /etc/hostname, the domain might make it elsewhere like resolv.conf [21:35] ActionParsnip, i am installing sudo apt-get install openssh-server now what [21:35] I have this white line under the skype icon in the notification area. What's up with that? [21:35] rynkan: also /etc/hosts gets generated according to what you type in now [21:36] harrrismrubin: install andftp on the tablet, liike I alrady stated... If you scroll up and reread, you'll see it [21:36] I don't know..I just connect to my router, but nothing is showing up in the uper panle bar, and I go to edit connections and type in my networking info there, it still doesn't connect [21:36] Would this work ( the port range ) iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT? [21:36] ActionParsnip, on ubuntu when i ran the code it came this sudo apt-get install openssh-server [21:36] as I understand it localhost.localdomain is the default FQDN, so, would it be best to leave it there and then change the hostname later? [21:36] no this Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [21:37] harrrismrubin: yes, that install the ssh server which also gives an sftp service... [21:37] harrrismrubin: then your packages are not consistent [21:37] harrrismrubin: type that "sudo ... install" command into the terminal [21:37] what HelloComputer15 [21:37] do I need to install a driver or somthing?

[21:39] Would this work ( the port range ) iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3390-3395 -j ACCEPT [21:39] can anyone help?? [21:39] i did sudo apt-get update and the i redid the code same error [21:40] myersg: do you use wired or wireless? [21:40] wireless, when I use the wired it works..its just the wireless not working [21:40] hola gente!.. [21:40] myersg: then that is the technology [21:40] I cant use the wireless right now...because its not connecting [21:40] or showing any [21:40] myersg: run: sudo lshw -C network what is the product line for the wireless interface [21:41] myersg: I suggest you also use a wired connection and get fully updated [21:41] !es lui_ [21:41] !es [21:41] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

Use a wired conection for maximum easiness [21:44] ActionParsnip, can i download it without terminal' [21:45] ok [21:45] I never had to set it up though....

[21:45] harrrismrubin: search dash for software centre [21:46] what do i search in the software center [21:47] harrrismrubin: run software centre, then you can find the app you need [21:47] what app [21:47] harrrismrubin, openssh-server [21:47] harrrismrubin: openssh-server wasn't that massively obvious....? [21:47] harrrismrubin: are you being serious? [21:48] How does openvpn work? It provides a layer 3 (IP) interface but works as an application (layer 7) ? That does not seem very efficient...

How do I get better than anonymous access to the NFS exports? [21:51] harrrismrubin: as long as openssh-server is installed it's fine [21:51] bekks: not yet.. I don't know all the options yet.

There is nothing to 'open' [21:54] then what do i do now [21:54] It is not blocking anything [21:55] harrrismrubin, install andftp on your tablet [21:55] i did [21:55] harrrismrubin: install andftp and connect to the system over wifi on port 22 using SFTP [21:55] bekks: I have the linux-crashdump.. I hope to find more clues.. [21:55] I made a directory with ugo+rw, and now my anonymous access gets me where I'm going, but it looks like I'll need to set up Samba to get something that my Users will find workable. [21:55] when i open the app on the tablet it says select your ftb server [21:56] there was nothing to update [21:56] rebooting now [21:57] harrrismrubin, type in your ubuntu's ip address [21:57] Whenever I use root nautilus or root gedit the theme is wrong. it looks like stock gnome. Everything is function, but it's rather annoying. 12.04 64bit [21:57] what? [21:57] first thing is host name [21:57] harrrismrubin: yes, thats the name of the ubuntu system# [21:57] so my username or the pcs name [21:58] harrrismrubin, host name == ip address or name of your ubuntu system [21:58] harrrismrubin: the computer name [21:58] how do i find that [21:58] on ubuntu type ifconfig eth0 [21:58] harrrismrubin: you can run: hostname in Ubuntu, you set it when you installed the OS [21:59] its still giveing me the same erro [21:59] it is often said that ubuntu requires less rebooting than windows when it is updated. What justifies this internally ? [21:59] Just looking ofr a bit of input: I have an iMac running Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz. I imagine, but I want to make sure here, that I should go with the PC (Intel x86) desktop CD, and not 64-bit Mac (AMD64) desktop CD, correct? cat /proc/cpuinfo: http://pastebin.com/Wj2JawUC [21:59] kristenB: most service can be restarted with the command "sudo service restart" [21:59] HelloWorld321: and that's not the case in windows? [22:00] What do I do with linux-crashdump upon a crash? [22:00] what should I do now? [22:00] I'm referring to the 12.10 download page, but it was suggested in +1 that I could get CPU arch support here as well.http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/quantal/alpha-2/ [22:00] Should I reinstall ubuntu? [22:00] Sometimes the system just reboots immediately. [22:00] HelloWorld321: i think the command 'netstop' in windows does just that [22:00] kristenB, linux is build on the idea of modules that can be restarted when needed. windows for the most part does not allow most important fiels to be changed while the operating system is running so it does that when it is booting === MoleMan_ is now known as MoleMan [22:01] and yet sometimes even ubuntu asks for rebooting. Why is that ? [22:02] kristenB, it is because ubuntu is lets say "dumbed down" [22:02] for example kernel updates kristenB [22:02] so favor updates it warn you [22:02] for mayor [22:02] kristenB, when it updates to a new kernel the system needs restarted to be able to boot that new kernel === silver is now known as Guest67336 [22:03] is it good to host my own website? [22:03] but even for kernel updates you don't need to power down and power up your system, but Ubuntu does that default [22:03] the username and password is what i use to sign in right [22:03] can I monitor /var/log/kern.log to see hardware errors? or is there a better log? [22:03] can 'sudo apt-get upgrade' update the kernel ? [22:03] kristenB, yes [22:03] in Debian it just closes everything and restarts the kernel :) [22:04] so basically I've upgraded the kernel without even knowing it. That seems dangerous [22:04] kristenB: in general you will need to: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; since upgrading the kernel installs new packages [22:04] hello,can i ask a rather noobie question plz? [22:04] http://web2.0calc.com/ <3 [22:04] ska, dmesg [22:04] Baios, thats what this channel is for :) [22:05] okay thanks. I have a completely new question regarding unity.

[22:05] ok i finished and pressed save then connect [22:05] Priyantha, how you can update the kernel without rebooting , now i m interested ; ) , well i know about the program for installing kernel updates without rebooting but [22:05] harrrismrubin, open a terminal and type hostname [22:05] kexec ghostchick :) [22:05] thanks fe80. i ve installed ubuntu at work with wubi. i want to join the servers domain but cant see something obvious in the network card settings.any advice? [22:05] is the magic word :D [22:06] ghostchick: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RapidReboot [22:06] rynkan: as big as you need for any temp files. [22:06] it says FTP file browser - click to select file it is all blank [22:07] Priyantha, thanks very much [22:07] rynkan: usually I make mine at least as bit as memory.. But not smaller than 2GB.. [22:07] no problem ghostchick :) [22:07] rynkan: sometimes 10-20GB [22:07] hey [22:07] I am using it on my Debian system curently [22:07] replaced yesterday the Ubuntu install with Debian ;) [22:07] I have downloaded an application that is not installed by apt-get. I would like to add it to the left panel. I have put the executable in /opt/ and added a link in /usr/bin and I have modified /usr/share/applications. Now the icon appears and the programs launches. BUT there is no arrow saying the number of instances. When the program's window is not active, clicking on the icon of the left panel should bring it to the front, but o [22:07] im new in this [22:08] Baios, so in other words you are trying to see a file server's shares? [22:08] what is this about [22:08] harrrismrubin: you want sftp [22:08] ghostchick: /var/log/dmesg doesn't seem to get it all. [22:08] ska: put mine at 5gb [22:09] rynkan: thats probably ok.. bigger is better.. [22:09] kristen8: are you running a terminal based app or gui app? [22:10] fe80 : in someway i ve already done that....linux magic? :p [22:10] is there any need to put the domain server like in windows or not? [22:10] i selected sftp it still says ftp though [22:10] Baios, im confused on what you mean by domain server. do you mean dns? [22:13] harrrismrubin: is there an option for sshfs [22:13] no [22:14] Baios, if you can see shared computers and can access the internet then i would say you are good with your nic configuration unless you need something specific to your work environment [22:14] ActionParsnip, no [22:14] harrrismrubin: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lysesoft.andftp&hl=en under tthe types drop down, what do you have? [22:15] what do you mean types [22:15] harrrismrubin: in the conection, there is a drop down with connection types listed [22:16] harrrismrubin: under hostname, the 2nd option? [22:16] harrrismrubin: you are looking at your tablet, right? [22:17] ftp, sftp, ftps, ftps, scp [22:17] harrrismrubin: then select SFTP [22:17] harrrismrubin: like i said earlier...abnout connexcting to sftp.... [22:17] i did before [22:18] can someone help me with my unity problem please ? [22:18] how do i send the file to my tab [22:18] harrrismrubin: you can always use the IP of the system if the hostname fails [22:18] kristenB: how can I help you [22:18] what? [22:19] Studious: I have downloaded an application that is not installed by apt-get. I would like to add it to the left panel. I have put the executable in /opt/ and added a link in /usr/bin and I have modified /usr/share/applications. Now the icon appears and the programs launches. BUT there is no arrow saying the number of instances. When the program's window is not active, clicking on the icon of the left panel should bring it to the fr [22:19] harrrismrubin: why do you keep asking that when I / we already know your issue? What does re-asking achieve [22:19] instead* [22:19] the ftp is the name of the app === szal_ is now known as szal [22:19] harrrismrubin: yes but it can connect to sftp [22:19] the ftp file browser means what files have been sent to it [22:19] harrrismrubin: again, what does re-asking do? [22:20] harrrismrubin: no, zero data has been transferred [22:20] that is why it is blank [22:20] harrrismrubin: why re-ask though? [22:20] i have to be told twice to understand [22:21] and you were confusing me [22:21] so how do i send a file to test if my theory is correct [22:21] fe80 for some reason this disk and hfs+ will not play nice... tried new enclosure and can write when it is ntfs but not when it is hfs+ [22:21] Studious: so any idea what's wrong ? [22:22] harrrismrubin: oh jeez it's gonna be a long night, why not justread it twice [22:22] well speaking of NFS mounts (yes, I was) and rebooting windows, my registry changes took effect when I rebooted the windows client, and now I have successfully forced my uid/gid on my nfs partitions to something besides -2. [22:22] ok [22:23] again how do i send it [22:23] harrrismrubin: you want sftp, you then type the IP as the host and useyour user credentials to connect and select port 22 === thomas__1 is now known as T [22:23] harrrismrubin: (2nd time so you understand) you want sftp, you then type the IP as the host and useyour user credentials to connect and select port 22 [22:23] harrrismrubin: until you get actually connected, nothing else matters === T is now known as Guest20217 [22:24] harrrismrubin: is the tablet connected to the Ubuntu system now? [22:24] no [22:25] harrrismrubin: then why is the transfer method impoortant if you aren't even connected? [22:25] it is freezing though [22:25] Is there a better way to map UID/GID from a Win7 client than setting a constant in the registry? [22:25] harrrismrubin: why do you need to know how to transfer data if the app isn't connected to the server? [22:26] HelloWorld321: ldap [22:26] HelloWorld321: or a complete windows domain with samba3/4 and ldap [22:26] this isnt working so ill just root and use the ubuntu app [22:26] tx, iceroot [22:27] sarsaoel, thats wierd. unfortunantly i know nothing about the hfs+ filesystem [22:27] are there different types of root [22:27] What do you guys think of Cherokee? [22:27] kristenB: can you give a screenshot [22:27] Better than Apache? [22:28] fe80: def weird... i think ill just hack ntfs support onto my mac... oh well thanks for the help! [22:28] Studious: there's no much to screenshot, it's more of a behaviour than a state. I could do a video but that would take quite long [22:28] is it easy to root android [22:28] harrrismrubin, goto #android to ask about rooting your android [22:28] idk how to register [22:28] sarsaeol, hey no problem sorry i could not be more help [22:29] harrrismrubin: go ask in #freenode [22:29] Studious: the problem is simple. When I click on the icon on the left panel, I would have expected the application to be brought to the front, but instead a new instance of that application is opened. [22:29] iceroot: I'll google samba & ldap, is there any particular subset that I should examine or any additional modules I'll need?

[22:31] iceroot: can I do all of that in Ubuntu, or will I need something from microsoft to admin my new windows samba/ldap domain? [22:31] harrrismrubin: root is root [22:31] Thete: I like LLMP [22:31] (lighttpd) [22:32] kristenB: so it launches a new instance of the application instead of bringing up the existing PID to front [22:32] Studious: yes [22:32] Thete: apache2 is the minimum, if you need mysql and php then you can install lamp but the bare minimum for web is apache2 [22:32] cheese1756: Will it do name based VH with SSL? [22:32] check the shortcut link, is it set to "appname &" ?? [22:32] if so, remove the "&" [22:32] Thete: I have used virtual hosts with it, and SSL [22:32] So I believe so [22:32] Studious: no it's not & [22:33] ActionParsnip: Been using Apache for years, wondering if Nginx or Cherokee , or lighttpd is better [22:35] the software I'm trying to get to the panel is 'eclipse'. The file I created in /usr/share/applications/ contains a line /opt/eclipse/eclipse, so it should just open the 'eclipse' executable when I click on the icon, and if already opened, bring it to the front (like all other icons). But instead, it creates a new instance regardless of whether it's already opened or not. [22:35] Thete: try it, see what happens :) [22:36] kristenB: see if you can create a new shortcut link using terminal. example: ln -sf /usr/bin/appname /usr/share/applications/appname [22:36] What does the -f mean ? [22:36] kristenB: Studious: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/03/unity-with-minimize-on-click-patch.html might be what kristenB is expecting, the more traditional minimize/unminimize-on-click .. which was officially rejected .. but available via PPA [22:37] kristenB: depends on teh scope [22:37] glitsj16: I don't think so. What I'm expecting is not a new behaviour. I'm just expecting the same behaviour as the one I'm getting for all my other icons. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:39] kristenB: my apologies for dropping in, to both [22:40] All my other icons behave this way. I have unity 3D. If I click on a icon of a program that is already running but whose window is not in the foreground, its window is brought to the front. However, with the new icon I added, a new instance of the software is created everytime, whether a previous instance is already running or not (such a behaviour would only occur with middle click for other icons) [22:40] glitsj16: on the contrary, please. [22:40] glitsj16: I'm quite lost, I don't know what's wrong. Any help is appreciated === lloir is now known as Lloir|ZzZz [22:42] kristenB: yes i don't understand why unity would make a difference between 'official' launchers and user-generated ones [22:42] you seem to have put all relevant pieces of the puzzle in place === ernesto_ is now known as seraph1 [22:45] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/Release Unable to find expected entry 'precise-security/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [22:45] kristenB: as long as there is a correctly formed desktop file in /usr/share/applications it will be used by Dash etc [22:46] bz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070235/ === Wiktorius is now known as CalamityVic [22:47] anyone know anything about grub.. i recently installed ubuntu 12.04 and now when i try to boot into windows 7 i get invalid efi file path [22:47] hi all, i have been trying to make a usb start disk from the latest 12.04 cd, when i boot from the usb stick it keeps asking for the cdrom!

[22:48] i have tried it ActionParsnip and still nothing ive even used the boot repair app and that didnt fix it [22:49] RichTea: you don't need to make a CD from the ISO to then make a bootable USB, you can use Unetbootin on the ISO direct [22:49] ActionParsnip: i burned it to a cd and booted it [22:49] RichTea: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [22:50] i also tried unetbootin from the live cd but it wont start [22:50] * RichTea has been having _fun_ [22:50] RichTea: one last time. Did you or did you not MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?

[23:29] And Gnome-shell is awesome. [23:29] default doesn't mean glued. sadly the difference is nuanced to the untrained eye. [23:30] Quantum_Ion, you can make unity launchers. but if that is the reason why you switched, cheap to come here and complain afterwards.

[23:52] NastyNaz: http://www.smarthome.com http://www.x10.com [23:52] NastyNaz, even x10 irc chat lines here and there maybe here too [23:52] ardeay, how about setting a sticky bit, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3106005/how-to-set-default-group-permissions-for-sftp-uploads [23:52] dj_segfault: thanks [23:52] !ask | smallfx; I find the hard part is to ask the proper question [23:52] smallfx; I find the hard part is to ask the proper question: 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). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [23:53] i have last release of ubuntu and in firefox i cant to manage with flash player: i cant to push allow button to see my webcam [23:53] three18ti: that looks better [23:53] ardeay, however, using a wrapper like this would work if you need to be more flexible. [23:54] NastyNaz, there's an irc and site called domogik but dont know if its just french.. [23:54] NastyNaz: I use http://www.heyu.org/ for software [23:54] three18ti: so if we create a directory, and the parent directory has a sticky bit, does does that directory adapt that? [23:55] ya, there's google results.. but i even think there's x10 magazines which would look cool to check out [23:55] is anybody can to help wit this? [23:55] Hey guys. I just installed ubuntu 12.04 yesterday and I am getting some apt errors when I try to install libgtk-3-dev from apt-get, aptitude or symantec. The errors are referring to unmet dependencies and the error is E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Posting full output @ http://pastebin.com/XEwZUK74. Does anyone know how I can fix this? === avis is now known as Guest40940 [23:56] set your tmp files to ram and have it wiped every 5 minutes [23:56] 'symantec' [23:56] jetole, lol symantec? like the antivirus company? [23:56] jetole, sudo apt-get install -f [23:56] jagginess: he meant synaptic, i think [23:56] jagginess: er, whatever it's called. I'm a console junky and it's usually my last option [23:56] NastyNaz: I use a Firecracker for hardware [23:57] ok well for now there seems to be two issues with Unetbootin for me, 1) the standard download is 32 bit only, solved by self compiling, 2) it does not reconise usb drives named like /dev/mmcb... there is a bug for this that says its fixed but i see not the suggestiod option! =) [23:57] three18ti: thanks. Let me see how that works out [23:57] dj_segfault: it connects via serial? === Guest40940 is now known as k-rad [23:57] RichardBronosky, try pendrive's usb maker [23:57] jetole, synaptic ;) [23:57] NastyNaz: Yes. I use a USB to serial converter [23:57] RichTea, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [23:58] RichiH, make 1 single fat32 partition on the usb drive.. [23:58] wylde: incron looks cool, thanks for shring [23:58] dj_segfault: what do you use for each of the appliances? === k-rad is now known as Guest40940 === diddledan is now known as zz_diddledan [23:58] jagginess: that required windows that will let you write in rew mode, i do not have that [23:58] three18ti: same output. I have also run "apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" and I have also run "dpkg --configure -a" based on some forum posts. I notice the first line of the Depends: is saying the version I have installed is newer then the version required too which I find odd [23:59] RichTea: you can also use dd to put the ISO on the USB [23:59] ^raw [23:59] RichTea, make a single fat32 partition on the usb drive (or also called vfat in linux) [23:59] ardeay: it's very handy. [23:59] jetole, where's your error again? (sorry too lazy too look through the scrollback)
