| jvdz | escott: Really, in my scenario, I'd have local mac (with FS encryption), and I'd like to ssh-rsync to a remote VPS | 00:00 |
| escott | jvdz, most encryption systems will let you keep the key elsewhere. its not necessarily going to be easy to do, but it can surely be done | 00:00 |
| RyuGuns | I'm installing some stuff, however, I forgot what type of processor I have, how do I tell? | 00:00 |
| jvdz | escott: During that rsync, I'd have to mount my remote directory (using encrypt I'd presume); once completed, it would be unmounted. Is that the general approach? | 00:00 |
| escott | jvdz, why not just do the rsync on ciphertext? | 00:00 |
| ghostchick | RyuGuns, uname -a | 00:01 |
| RyuGuns | Into the terminal? | 00:01 |
| dioms | cat /proc/cpuinfo | 00:01 |
| escott | jvdz, unless you need to read the files on the VPS, why let the VPS ever see plaintext? | 00:01 |
| jvdz | escott: Pardon, I don't know what that is. | 00:01 |
| RyuGuns | Thanks, ghostchick! | 00:01 |
| escott | jvdz, you want encrypted files on the VPS. why not encrypt them locally, and then rsync the encrypted files? | 00:02 |
| roadster | Is it possible to make my Ubuntu look like this? I really like the way this looks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WnaZL3ARN0 | 00:02 |
| escott | MissVera, you can fix the password by selecting recovery mode from the boot and typing passwd username where "username" is your username | 00:03 |
| roadster | What kind of desktop is that? | 00:03 |
| jvdz | escott: By local encrypt, do you mean like openSSL encrypting the local files? | 00:04 |
| asus1025c | i followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1953734&page=10 (POST #94) and i can confirm my hdmi port works. now. i can confirm that i can watch 480p films with vlc/smplayer on my 32INCH LCD TV. No problems encountered | 00:04 |
| asus1025c | By the way my netbook is ASUS 1025C Atom N2800 Intel Graphics GMA3650 running jxself's compiled 3.4.4 on Trisquel GNU/Linux 5.5 | 00:04 |
| asus1025c | Trisquel GNU/Linux 5.5 is based on Ubuntu 11.10 | 00:05 |
| escott | jvdz, whatever method you want. unless you need to be able to edit the files on the VPS. i would never expose the VPS to plaintext. encrypt it with whatever method you want. gpg/ecryptfs etc and put the encrypted files on the VPS directly. rsync wont care that the files are binary. | 00:05 |
| MissVera | escott, I went through recovery and now I've got a menu? resume, clean, dpkg, fsck, grub, network, root, system-summary ? | 00:05 |

| ghostchick | what appears under /home? | 00:08 |
| MissVera | In fact, Im certain of what i named it, and it's not working... So. I dont know. | 00:08 |

| MissVera | Jordan_U if I typed that where i am, and it didnt do anything. unless, thats something I'm supposed to put in terminal... | 00:10 |

| lolly | so can anyone help? | 00:15 |
| escott | MissVera, whatever you used to install screwed up a lot of stuff. never got the bootloader installed, didnt make the initrd, and evidently never created the user account | 00:16 |
| MissVera | lol | 00:16 |
| MissVera | Figured something like that | 00:16 |
| escott | MissVera, "grep 1000 /etc/passwd" just to make sure it didnt create the user | 00:17 |
| MissVera | escott, didnt do anything. | 00:18 |
| escott | MissVera, then "adduser <username>" | 00:19 |
| neteffect | hi | 00:19 |
| escott | MissVera, that should create /home/username | 00:19 |
| escott | then you can "passwd <username>" | 00:20 |
| melontrolly | Does anyone know how to run a command when usb device is plugged in using udev? Any help would be appreciated http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11302684/run-something-when-usb-device-is-plugged-in-doesnt-work | 00:20 |
| escott | and finally you will want to make that user an administrator. not sure what version of ubuntu this was. if it is 12.04 run "usermod -a -G sudo <username>" for other versions run "usermod -a -G admin <username>" | 00:21 |
| escott | at least i think its admin | 00:21 |
| MissVera | escott, adding new group 'lon' (1001) ... groupadd: cannot lock /etc/group; try again later. adduser: '/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 1001 lon' returned error code 10. Exiting. | 00:21 |
| MissVera | escott, i could never add a user. hh | 00:21 |
| escott | MissVera, something has locked /etc/group. i dont know what it would be or how to clear it. probably got locked by the original installer before it ran into trouble | 00:22 |
| escott | MissVera, maybe the fuser command can clear the lock, but i dont know what the command would be. and im a bit too tired at this point | 00:23 |
| escott | goodluck :) | 00:23 |
| ghostchick | escott, Congratulation though you debugged the hardest part | 00:25 |
| MissVera | Aye. Thanks a lot escott. Ive been stuck on this for about a day and a half. | 00:25 |
| escott | ghostchick, it wasn't so much debugging as just doing stupid things that are usually done automatically. had i known to look for these issues from the start it would have been easy | 00:25 |
| escott | MissVera, im almost tempted to tell you to just reinstall. we know the hardware can work. we just need the installer to not chock in the middle of the install | 00:27 |
| escott | choke | 00:27 |
| ki7rw | oh man! i used rsync to back up my server drive and everything was backed up except for my home movies - they are lost forever - i will never use rsync again | 00:27 |
| MissVera | escott.... Wouldnt I have to do all of that all over again? | 00:27 |
| escott | MissVera, if the installer doesn't blow up halfway through the customization no we wouldn't. its clear the installer just crashed in the middle. it didn't do any of the final steps to make the system usable | 00:28 |
| rinzler | Installed 12.04 on my Dell Precision m70, and when I'm on battery, the left speaker clicks incessantly... any ideas on how to stop it? | 00:28 |
| escott | ki7rw, that would be a silly response | 00:28 |
| MissVera | escott, it never crashed though. It continued, and then loaded the OS. No indication of any problems, until i rebooted and had a blackscreen with a cursor | 00:29 |
| ki7rw | i mean it! it's an unreliable piece of crap! | 00:29 |
| escott | !language | ki7rw | 00:30 |
| ubottu | ki7rw: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 00:30 |
| ki7rw | kiss off | 00:30 |
| escott | rather than being frustrated and lashing out at the software you might ask for help on how to use rsync properly | 00:30 |
| escott | MissVera, im worried that you fix up the user account and then find that something else in the install failed... | 00:31 |
| escott | MissVera, you might be better off doing a fresh install from vanilla xubuntu | 00:31 |
| evie_hammond | ki7rw: if you use the -n switch it does a dry run and shows you what it will do | 00:32 |
| Meep | When I watch flash or there's any sort of flash ad banners on a webpage, my laptop will periodically just shut down. | 00:32 |
| escott | MissVera, worst case it fails again in the same way and you know that (A) you need to install grub, (b) make initrds (c) update-grub (d) create user accounts ... | 00:32 |
| Meep | Help? | 00:32 |
| escott | MissVera, and you can do that all in one chroot without all the intervening reboots | 00:32 |
| escott | MissVera, would take 15minutes if you know what to do | 00:32 |
| rinzler | Installed 12.04 on my Dell Precision m70, and when I'm on battery, the left speaker clicks incessantly... any ideas on how to stop it? | 00:33 |
| MissVera | escott, keyphrase, if i knew what to do | 00:33 |
| escott | MissVera, yeah but you tell someone in channel that you need to do these things and they can walk you through it | 00:34 |
| escott | you've done chroot 3 times now. at some point it becomes muscle memory | 00:34 |
| escott | figuring out what to do is 80% fo the battle | 00:34 |
| Athleek123 | Hi, yesterday I was having trouble with a FATAL: ndiswrapper module not found, and I was told I had to compile ndiswrapper. I ended up deleting ubuntu with the hope that reinstalling would help, but before I reinstall I want to make sure there is someone knowledgeable who can help me prevent the error from appearing again | 00:35 |
| bazhang | Athleek123, you suggested that you needed to compile it, by some third party guide | 00:36 |
| bazhang | Athleek123, install ndisgtk as suggested at the time if you must use it | 00:36 |
| Athleek123 | bazhang i believe it was an ubuntu guide, and I was asking whether or not the guide was correct; I was told it was correct | 00:37 |
| Athleek123 | ndisgtk didn't install for some reason | 00:37 |
| bazhang | Athleek123, the channel logs indicate otherwise | 00:37 |
| bazhang | Athleek123, what was the reason for ndisgtk not installing properly, give us the exact error message | 00:38 |
| Athleek123 | i remember actionparsnip saying something like, I guess you'll have to compile then | 00:38 |
| Kinter | hi | 00:38 |
| escott | MissVera, i don't really see a downside in trying to get a good install. i do see a downside in trying to identify/fix the unknown unknowns of a partial install | 00:38 |
| bazhang | Athleek123, from a guide you suggested. | 00:38 |
| bazhang | Athleek123, please provide the exact errors on the ndisgtk issue | 00:39 |
| Athleek123 | bazhang well i guess I put it the wrong way because I was trying to see if the guide was correct | 00:39 |
| solidus-lake | hey, i was wondering how i can enable the testing repositories but only allow certain packages from them | 00:39 |
| solidus-lake | for example i want gimp 2.8 | 00:39 |
| Athleek123 | bazhang and i dont remember exactly, but it was really general, like ndisgtk couldn't install: errors | 00:40 |
| solidus-lake | but i dont want to use some 3rd party repo for it and im guessing in unstable they have a pkg for it | 00:40 |
| bazhang | Athleek123, the exact error message from failed ndisgrk install please | 00:40 |
| MissVera | escott, you and ghostchick are the only people who've stuck with me through problems, Im definitely not reinstalling if you two are going offline. I mean. So far, it seems only the user issue is there. | 00:40 |
| Athleek123 | bazhang i dont have it | 00:40 |
| Athleek123 | bazhang in software center it said it needed python-glade2 | 00:40 |

| solidus-lake | anyone can inform me how to use a whiltelist for some testing packages? | 00:42 |
| escott | MissVera, i would give the channel more credit. i've seen a lot of the guys in channel battle through some crazy stuff. you bring to them a clear concise explanation of what happens and ask for the commands you need to run and they will certainly help. bazhang, ActionParsnip, holstein, etc. they all know the steps | 00:42 |

| ghostchick | Rokon, look at easybcd in windows, but as for the setup it do not think it will be possible | 01:03 |
| Loshki | excelsior: I think the cheapest, most practical way to back up 250GB is via an external usb drive | 01:03 |

| blackshirt | apache was run under www-data user | 01:13 |
| KrisKustomPaint | i went through the terminal stuff your suposed to do and that all went fine until i went to go to the additional drivers and activate the driver and there was nothing there | 01:15 |
| n1ckn4me09876543 | I put lxpanel in StartUp Applications and it started fine when I reboot, now I wanted it to wait 15 seconds so I put: sleep 15 && lxpanel in the Command, now lxpanel doesnt start at all, what am I doing wrong? | 01:16 |
| Salacious | still not understanding how to tell apache to run as me guys sorry. | 01:17 |
| icecube45 | okay, so | 01:17 |
| icecube45 | my computer is having some problems | 01:17 |
| icecube45 | im trying to host a minecraft server on it, it is configured correctly, and set outside of my routers firewall | 01:18 |
| icecube45 | yet something seems to be blocking incoming connections | 01:18 |
| icecube45 | for tools such as canyouseeme.org say the port it closed | 01:18 |
| blackshirt | salacious, exactly i don't know what you need | 01:19 |
| bz | icecube45: check from localhost | 01:19 |
| icecube45 | bz, i can connect fine using localhost | 01:19 |
| icecube45 | and using the internal ip | 01:19 |
| bz | icecube45: then it's your router | 01:19 |
| Salacious | blackshirt, in php you can do chmod, well I get operation not permitted | 01:19 |
| icecube45 | im set outside my firewall | 01:19 |
| icecube45 | this only occurs with ubuntu | 01:19 |
| icecube45 | my windows computers dont have this problem | 01:19 |
| icecube45 | can anything be blocking the connection | 01:19 |
| bz | icecube45: what address are you listening on? | 01:19 |
| icecube45 | its port 25565 | 01:20 |
| bz | address, not port | 01:20 |
| blackshirt | okey, | 01:20 |
| icecube45 | like my public ip? | 01:20 |
| bz | like what address is it listening on? | 01:20 |
| icecube45 | 192.168.2.7 | 01:20 |
| icecube45 | it should be | 01:20 |
| CIDR | Just can't get diablo 3 playable in wine | 01:21 |
| bz | so maybe listen on 0.0.0.0 | 01:21 |
| icecube45 | i set the config not to bind to an ip | 01:21 |
| blackshirt | I think apache on ubuntu was running as a normal user...ie, www-data user, | 01:21 |
| icecube45 | so it becomes flexable | 01:21 |
| bz | so, 0.0.0.0 is what you want | 01:21 |
| icecube45 | ill try | 01:21 |
| icecube45 | then check back in | 01:21 |
| rinzler | icecube45: check your router's port forwarding. | 01:21 |
| icecube45 | rinzler | 01:21 |
| rinzler | ? | 01:21 |
| icecube45 | im set outside my firewall | 01:21 |
| bz | rinzler: scroll up, got nothing to do with forwarding | 01:21 |
| rinzler | bz: I don't see why? | 01:22 |
| icecube45 | 0.0.0.0 right? | 01:22 |
| bz | wesh | 01:22 |
| icecube45 | i cant scroll up in weechat | 01:22 |
| daniel_6684 | Good day. I have a question about the Heads-Up Display on my 12.04 LTS.... | 01:23 |
| rinzler | if canyouseeme.com can't see you, it's cause his public device isn't listening and passing packets. correct? | 01:23 |
| icecube45 | bz, launching now | 01:23 |
| bz | icecube45: gogogogo | 01:23 |
| lolly | someone knows how to use disk? | 01:23 |

| ghostchick | lolly, what you need to do? | 01:23 |
| icecube45 | bz, bootedup, canyouseeme cant see me | 01:24 |
| bz | lolly: if you need to ask, you prolly shouldn't mess with it | 01:24 |
| daniel_6684 | Whenever I try to go looking for applications, I hit my <ALT> key and it appears, but there are no applications whatsoever on my HUD, so where are they? | 01:24 |
| icecube45 | bz, should i possibly post my netstat -ltn? | 01:24 |
| lolly | to create NTFS so i can install win7 | 01:24 |
| bz | icecube45: sure | 01:24 |
| ghostchick | lolly, use gparted | 01:24 |
| bz | icecube45: i assume that the server's running on the same machine you're typing on right now? | 01:24 |
| icecube45 | yes bz | 01:24 |
| lolly | ghostchick: i cant | 01:25 |
| icecube45 | bz, here is my netstat -ltn | 01:25 |
| icecube45 | tcp6 0 0 :::25565 :::* LISTEN | 01:25 |
| bz | no god no don't | 01:25 |
| icecube45 | dont worry | 01:25 |
| icecube45 | only pasted the one line | 01:25 |
| bz | ok, what about the other lines? | 01:25 |
| icecube45 | ah kk | 01:25 |
| icecube45 | ill go 2 paste | 01:25 |
| daniel_6684 | Whenever I try to go looking for applications, I hit my <ALT> key and it appears, but there are no applications whatsoever on my HUD, so where are they? | 01:25 |
| bz | excellent idea | 01:25 |
| Salacious | so we still dont have an answer on making apache allow me to use chmod in php? like how do you change the user? | 01:25 |
| laumonier | hi why when i try to use ffmpeg to convert a mp4 to mp3 it doesnt work ?do i need some codec?and why it tells me ffmpeg is not supported and that i should use arista?is it a bug? thx for answer | 01:26 |
| daniel_6684 | Whenever I try to go looking for applications, I hit my <ALT> key and my Heads-Up Display (HUD) appears, but there are no applications whatsoever listed. Where are they? | 01:26 |
| escott | lolly, you don't need to create an ntfs partition. you just need to create free space to install windows into | 01:26 |
| ghostnik11 | Hi I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on hp pavilion dvd6 and a problem comes up saying compiz isn't working and I need to update the packages | 01:26 |
| icecube45 | bz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1072325/ | 01:27 |
| neteffect | i wonder how to install flash | 01:27 |
| Linux_Guy | ghostnik11, you actually got to the bios to make it boot and install? | 01:27 |
| Linux_Guy | I've not been able to get that far, it seems to "skip" it | 01:27 |
| ghostnik11 | Linux_guy: yeah it installed but for some reason I can't get into the main part of Ubuntu where I see the home screen | 01:28 |
| daniel_6684 | Whenever I try to go looking for applications, I hit my <ALT> key and my Heads-Up Display (HUD) appears, but there are no applications whatsoever listed. Where are they? | 01:28 |
| quixotedon | neteffect: i bet you can do it through ubuntu software center and search "flash" (without quotes) | 01:28 |
| bazhang | !repeat | daniel_6684 | 01:28 |
| ubottu | daniel_6684: 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/ | 01:28 |
| Linux_Guy | ghostnik11, so you can't get to synaptic. how far does it boot to? | 01:28 |
| neteffect | ok | 01:29 |
| icecube45 | bz, you see that paste? | 01:29 |
| bz | icecube45: yeah. | 01:29 |
| icecube45 | k | 01:29 |
| bz | icecube45: can we do an experiment? | 01:29 |
| icecube45 | sure bz | 01:29 |
| bz | icecube45: just wanna make sure your ports are being fwded correctly | 01:29 |
| icecube45 | k | 01:29 |
| ghostnik11 | Linux_guy: wait your telling this isn't just a couple end users problems with the new version of Ubuntu. Nope can't get to synaptic I was going to ask how can I tell it to boot into low video mode that doesn't use compiz and uses only 2d and metacity | 01:29 |
| icecube45 | okay sure bz, whatever u say | 01:30 |
| bz | icecube45: so on the minecraft machine, nc -l 0.0.0.0 10012 | 01:30 |
| Linux_Guy | ghostnik11, as far as how widespread I do not know. you're the first to me, but that's just going by my experience | 01:30 |
| bz | icecube45: don't sigterm it | 01:31 |
| Linux_Guy | ghostnik11, if you can get the 2d version working fine, then I would think you could use that mode to grab compiz,. though it depends on your system specs I would also imagine | 01:31 |
| icecube45 | sigterm? | 01:31 |
| bz | control-c | 01:31 |
| icecube45 | ah kk | 01:31 |
| icecube45 | well, its doing whatever | 01:31 |
| icecube45 | whats it ment to do :3 | 01:31 |
| bz | icecube45: check your query window for a sec | 01:32 |
| icecube45 | yes? | 01:32 |
| icecube45 | nothing new bz | 01:32 |
| icecube45 | still doing whatever | 01:32 |
| ghostnik11 | Linux_guy: it keeps trying to run compiz but it wont work. Its and amd processor with 1gb of ram, how can I get it to login screen when during installation I told it to automatically log me in | 01:32 |
| icecube45 | bz: how long is this ment to take exactly? | 01:33 |
| Linux_Guy | I'm not too familiar with 12.04, but I know exactly where it is in the older 10.04 | 01:33 |
| bz | icecube45: open up another term, then: echo "it works" | nc <insert your minecraft server ip> 10012 | 01:33 |
| daniel_6684 | Whenever I try to go looking for applications, I hit my <ALT> key and my Heads-Up Display (HUD) appears, but there are no applications whatsoever listed. Where are they? | 01:34 |
| icecube45 | bz | 01:34 |
| daniel_6684 | The https://help.ubuntu.com/ is no help/ | 01:34 |
| icecube45 | should i use the internal or external ip | 01:34 |
| icecube45 | for the ip here | 01:34 |
| bz | external ip, of course | 01:34 |
| Linux_Guy | ghostnik11, it is administration > login screen | 01:34 |
| bz | unless you're happy with playing single-player minecraft | 01:34 |
| blackshirt | hi quixotedon, ... Nice meet you here wkwkkw | 01:34 |

| Linux_Guy | that will let you select auto login or not | 01:34 |
| icecube45 | bz | 01:34 |
| icecube45 | im sorry, but could u do a paste of that command | 01:34 |
| icecube45 | weechat doesnt handle copying well | 01:35 |
| daniel_6684 | The https://help.ubuntu.com tells me what SHOULD be there, but not how to troubleshoot the Heads-Up Display. | 01:35 |

| icecube45 | is my networking seriously messed up? | 01:38 |
| ghostnik11 | Ghostchick, Linux_guy: tells me its unable to run display I think its due to fact that I am trying to use my tv as display monitor because screen hinges on laptop is broken | 01:38 |
| ghostchick | mrbean, google for a webupd8 tutorial on xmbc | 01:38 |
| icecube45 | bz, using my internal ip on the echo it works thing, it works fine | 01:39 |
| icecube45 | just with my external it doesnt work | 01:39 |
| bz | icecube45: yeah, then you have a forwarding issue, bro | 01:39 |
| Linux_Guy | ghostnik11, have you tried a smaller monitor rather than the tv? | 01:39 |
| icecube45 | bz: it shouldnt be that tho | 01:39 |
| ghostchick | ghostnik11 , on which session you are of ubuntu, unity 2d? | 01:39 |
| icecube45 | bz: all my other computers are fowarding fine | 01:39 |
| bz | rinzler was actually right | 01:39 |
| bz | icecube45: how do you know that? | 01:40 |
| icecube45 | bz: ive tested them multiple times | 01:40 |
| bz | how? | 01:40 |
| mrbean | oh crap | 01:40 |
| icecube45 | bz: running servers on them | 01:40 |
| mrbean | sorry it was SPICE | 01:40 |
| mrbean | not xbmc | 01:40 |
| icecube45 | bz: they just dont have the capacity to run them, thats y i want this one to work | 01:40 |
| ghostnik11 | Is there a way I can tell it in terminal to use metacity or 2d. Linux_guy: don't have smaller monitor just my flat screen tv its a Sony. Ghostchick: I told it to auto log me in and I think it tried to log me in in unity. Right now I am using my cell phone to talk via irc | 01:41 |
| bz | icecube45: so they can't run minecraft, but you tested them by running minecraft? | 01:41 |
| icecube45 | bz: do i need to have eth0 or eth1 enabled to make this work or anything | 01:41 |
| icecube45 | bz: i ran a server on them, its jsut supppeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr laggy | 01:41 |
| icecube45 | bz: and running the server ate all my ram, it ended up crashing my comp | 01:41 |
| bz | icecube45: yeah, welcome to java | 01:41 |
| icecube45 | xD | 01:41 |
| icecube45 | bz: i have one theory | 01:42 |
| bz | icecube45: it's a forwrding issue; check your router | 01:42 |
| icecube45 | bz: i checked it | 01:42 |
| bz | icecube45: do any of the other comps run nix? | 01:42 |
| icecube45 | bz: should be fine | 01:42 |
| icecube45 | bz: no they dont | 01:42 |
| icecube45 | bz: windows Xp and 7 | 01:42 |
| mrbean | hello? | 01:42 |
| icecube45 | bz: its very strange | 01:43 |
| bz | icecube45: it's not, it's quite obvious | 01:43 |
| bz | icecube45: double check your forwarding | 01:43 |
| icecube45 | bz: i have, jsut now | 01:43 |
| bz | icecube45: how? | 01:43 |
| icecube45 | bz: 192.168.2.1, gets me to router page, overlooked my port fowarding, checked my interla ip | 01:43 |
| icecube45 | bz: do i need eth1 or eth0 runnign or anything to get this working, my /etc/networking or whatever uses lo | 01:44 |
| bz | icecube45: wat | 01:44 |
| bz | icecube45: lo is loopback, you wouldn't even be able to touch it from another box on your lan if you only had lo | 01:44 |
| icecube45 | bz: is this my problem? | 01:45 |
| AndyKing | hi | 01:45 |
| bz | icecube45: didn't you say that you are able to do the nc -l trick over lan? | 01:45 |
| icecube45 | bz: i also get a thing when starting up saying waiting for network configurationg | 01:45 |

| mrbean | help | 01:46 |
| icecube45 | bz: so....? | 01:47 |
| bz | icecube45: what're eth2 and eth0? | 01:47 |
| mrbean | I need to use an old verison of spice but im using a 32 bit os | 01:47 |
| mrbean | its for 64 bit | 01:47 |
| icecube45 | bz: what do you mean? | 01:47 |
| escott | mrbean, install a 64bit os | 01:47 |
| mrbean | is there nothing else I could tr | 01:48 |
| mrbean | y | 01:48 |
| bz | icecube45: i mean that the nix kernel creates a new eth* entry for each physical interface; you've got more than one interface, so i'm guessing your network topology is a bit more complicated than usual | 01:48 |
| icecube45 | bz: really? | 01:48 |
| randomDude | escott: running `sudo lprm` did the trick | 01:48 |
| icecube45 | bz: want me to describe my router? | 01:49 |
| icecube45 | bz: router is connected to a thing called nettopia, or vise versa, and that is connected to the phone lines | 01:49 |
| escott | randomDude, lprm should work without sudo for an lpadmin member | 01:49 |
| Pad22 | question: Everytime I have my ubuntu box's networking up, all the machines (including ubuntu) ping spikes from 9-10ms to 500+ms .... When the machine is off, or interface down, everything is OK. | 01:49 |
| Pad22 | Any ideas? | 01:49 |
| Pad22 | I'm starting to think it's hardware related. | 01:49 |
| escott | mrbean, you could use a 64bit simulator, or work it out on pencil and paper | 01:50 |
| icecube45 | bz? | 01:50 |
| bz | icecube45: doh | 01:50 |
| mrbean | ok thanks gtg | 01:50 |
| escott | Pad22, whats the network topology | 01:50 |
| mrbean | sorry | 01:51 |
| bz | icecube45: what port do you use for mc? | 01:51 |
| icecube45 | bz: um....? | 01:51 |
| icecube45 | bz: 25565 | 01:51 |
| icecube45 | bz: the default for mc | 01:51 |
| bz | icecube45: ok, "nc -l 0.0.0.0 25565" on the | 01:51 |
| Pad22 | DSL -> Asus RT-n16 out to an HTPC and a secondary switch where I have a desktop and ubuntu connected | 01:51 |
| bz | icecube45: on the mc server box, then `echo "it works" | nc 68.164.80.221 25565" ` some other box | 01:52 |
| bz | or maybe i could do that | 01:52 |
| icecube45 | bz could u? | 01:52 |
| icecube45 | and bz | 01:52 |
| icecube45 | server is up, should i shut it down? | 01:52 |
| bz | icecube45: um, yeah. | 01:52 |
| icecube45 | bz kk | 01:53 |
| icecube45 | running what u told me | 01:53 |
| Pad22 | I'm running icmp pings from the desktop (windows) constantly watching the response time.... I thought it was due to IPv6, so I moved the IPv6 tunnel off the ubuntu server to the router | 01:53 |
| Pad22 | still, no change | 01:53 |
| icecube45 | bz: the nc -l 0.0.0.0 25565 is running | 01:53 |
| bz | icecube45: try the echo | nc command with your internal ip | 01:53 |
| icecube45 | k | 01:53 |
| Pad22 | even pings from the ubuntu box are listing 300ms+ | 01:53 |
| escott | Pad22, what about pings from HTPC to router? | 01:54 |
| icecube45 | bz "it works" using internal ip on echo | 01:54 |
| bz | icecube45: btw, what ip does your router forward port 25565 to? | 01:54 |
| icecube45 | um | 01:54 |
| icecube45 | bz: ? | 01:54 |
| bz | icecube45: i bet you've got windoze setup on a static ip | 01:54 |
| === cesar is now known as Guest25909 | ||
| icecube45 | bz: i dont have a static ip set on my ubuntu, i jsut want to test if it works, then im setting one | 01:55 |

| bz | icecube45: so my previous question stands | 01:55 |
| icecube45 | what previous question? | 01:55 |
| bz | icecube45: btw, what ip does your router forward port 25565 to? | 01:55 |
| icecube45 | ah | 01:55 |
| icecube45 | i have it set up | 01:56 |
| icecube45 | so that its fowarded 192.168.2.7, on port 25565, | 01:56 |
| icecube45 | bz ^^^ | 01:57 |
| bz | icecube45: can you double check that it works on windows? eg, don't touch the router; just reboot to windows, then set your new static to .2.7, then run mc | 01:57 |

| bz | icecube45: different box (eg different ip), and different os | 02:00 |
| Pad22 | escott, ok, with the network up on the ubuntu box, both the windows desktop and htpc have 500ms+ pings out to the internet | 02:00 |
| ceti331 | now my questoin is, is there a way to change 2 finger scrolling sensitivty | 02:00 |
| icecube45 | bz: the only thing different between them is the internal ip, which i adjust if im gonna host from there | 02:00 |
| escott | Pad22, weird | 02:00 |
| icecube45 | bz: and the OS | 02:00 |
| Pad22 | escott, internally however, everything is OK .... it seems to me that there is some sort of incompatibility between the ubuntu box and the router which is causing all other machines to lag | 02:00 |
| Pad22 | escott, yeah :) | 02:00 |
| escott | Pad22, clearly, but strange since both are linux boxen | 02:00 |
| sirriffsalot | What packages do I need when someone says I need "Qt4" to do the "make" command...? | 02:00 |
| icecube45 | bz: should i still test? | 02:01 |
| Pad22 | escott, yep... and I just reflashed with tomato usb to see if that would help out and set all settings back to factory | 02:01 |
| randomDude | escott: i believe you can see that if you are running ubuntu on a laptop... however i would like this option on desktops | 02:01 |
| bz | icecube45: every test you've just done for me demonstrates that it's a problem exterior to your 'buntu box | 02:01 |
| icecube45 | bz: but it only happens on a ubuntu os | 02:02 |
| bz | no, it only happens on THAT box | 02:02 |
| icecube45 | bz: no | 02:02 |
| icecube45 | bz: when i had a different os on this box, it worked fine | 02:02 |
| bz | icecube45: you knwo what? | 02:03 |
| icecube45 | bz: its just not gonna work? | 02:03 |
| bz | icecube45: set another one of your boxes to .2.7, then run a server on them | 02:03 |
| icecube45 | bz: they dont have enough ram | 02:03 |
| escott | randomDude, install gconf-editor. im sure you will find it there | 02:03 |
| bz | icecube45: not sure how to help you then | 02:04 |
| icecube45 | bz: thanks anyways | 02:04 |
| icecube45 | bz: that may be my only option then | 02:04 |
| icecube45 | bz: its very strange | 02:04 |
| icecube45 | bz: quick question | 02:04 |
| bz | the problem resides outside of your nix box; it's got nothing to do with anything that sits inside. ubuntu sits inside. | 02:04 |
| icecube45 | bz: whats the mininum amount of ram that is required to run ubuntu? | 02:04 |
| jhesketh | Howdy. If I have an upstart process (running as root) start at boot time, is there any way a user might be able to stop that process from ever starting? (eg could they add book parameter or enter an interactive boot mode etc where they could choose for that daemon not to start) | 02:04 |
| bz | icecube45: define 'run ubuntu' | 02:04 |
| bz | icecube45: heck, define your use case | 02:05 |
| icecube45 | to run wubi | 02:05 |
| bz | icecube45: i can run my nix server on 30 mb of ram | 02:05 |
| icecube45 | cool | 02:05 |
| icecube45 | running ubuntu server or ubuntu desktop | 02:05 |
| bz | icecube45: wubi sounds graphical, so probably hundreds of megs of ram | 02:05 |
| alankila | I think around 512 MB is reasonable minimum for trying to get the desktop up | 02:05 |
| bz | icecube45: go with that one ^ | 02:05 |
| icecube45 | alankila: i tried that exact amount of ram | 02:06 |
| alankila | it'd probably work with 256 but could be pretty painful | 02:06 |
| trism | jhesketh: check out /etc/init/lightdm.conf which implements the text kernel argument (so the service doesn't start) | 02:06 |
| escott | jhesketh, you could define a special boot mode with a special boot argument and then test that argument by checking /proc/cmdline in your script.... | 02:06 |
| bz | icecube45: although, i run icewm on my debian with 256 MB just fine | 02:06 |
| icecube45 | alankila: it wouldnt work, it would freeze after saying prefix not defined | 02:06 |
| escott | jhesketh, which is what lightdm.conf does | 02:06 |
| icecube45 | i wish i could get it to work on this computer | 02:06 |
| jhesketh | thanks trism, escott.. I have to go but I'll give it a try in a sec | 02:06 |
| icecube45 | but thanks anyways | 02:06 |
| alankila | icecube45: "prefix not defined" means nothing to me. In any case you shuold have swapping happening so your experience of the system should be that it's slow, not that it doesn't work. | 02:06 |
| trism | indeed | 02:07 |
| icecube45 | thanks anyways guys | 02:07 |
| jrdnn | icecub45 If you go with Lubuntu (I think Wubi should support it since it's an official ubuntu flavor now) you should only need like 64MB | 02:07 |
| icecube45 | jrdnn: is that command line only? | 02:07 |
| jrdnn | icecube45* Sorry. | 02:07 |
| jrdnn | icecub45: No it's a GUI. About the closest Linux there is to Windows. | 02:07 |
| icecube45 | cool | 02:07 |
| icecube45 | thansk anyways guys | 02:08 |
| icecube45 | i dont think my problem is going to get solved | 02:08 |
| icecube45 | cya | 02:08 |
| jhesketh | trism, escott: ah, I see what you're saying. Ok, that's cool. However what I actually want to do it stop people from ever being able to stop this script (it's a security measure) | 02:08 |
| escott | jhesketh, im confused then. how would they stop the script? | 02:09 |
| icecube45 | ang around here | 02:09 |
| icecube45 | i think im just gonna hand around | 02:09 |
| escott | jhesketh, don't give them root and don't give them physical access and they can't do anything you dont want | 02:10 |
| icecube45 | if u can think of anything let me know | 02:10 |
| bz | icecube45: check your forwarding ;_; | 02:10 |
| bz | icecube45: or install windows on the mc box and check your forwarding from inside windows | 02:10 |
| icecube45 | bz: ill check my fowarding to the end of time | 02:10 |

| === Guest84007 is now known as mfisch | ||
| icecube45 | dz: the wierd thing is, my computer is using dmz | 02:13 |
| === mfisch is now known as Guest4997 | ||
| bz | icecube45: you mean it's sitting in a dmz? | 02:14 |
| icecube45 | bz: i enabled dmz for its internal ip, so it is outside the NAT firewall | 02:14 |
| bz | icecube45: and yet not one of its ports are accessible from the outside | 02:14 |
| icecube45 | bz: thats right | 02:15 |
| icecube45 | bz: is there anything that can be blocking incoming connections on ubuntu? | 02:15 |
| bz | let's reason this out | 02:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | icecube45: "sudo iptables -L" will tell you if iptables is set to block anything | 02:15 |
| bz | ports inaccessible; problem at either ubuntu or at router, no? | 02:15 |
| |Long| | i have 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection | 02:15 |
| bz | icecube45: yet we already accessed your ports from an internal ip | 02:16 |
| bz | icecube45: so...problem can't be ubuntu, right? | 02:16 |
| |Long| | on ftp can someone plz point me some tips | 02:16 |
| icecube45 | bz: its wierd | 02:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bz: it could be if he has some IP's white/black listed in iptables | 02:16 |
| escott | |Long|, why use ftp. there are soooo many better alternatives | 02:16 |
| icecube45 | bz: check iptables? | 02:16 |
| bz | DarwinSurvivor: that would be...so so ironic and hilarious | 02:16 |
| bz | icecube45: yeah, check iptab | 02:17 |
| |Long| | escott, cause i can control all of the activities | 02:17 |
| escott | |Long|, and you can't with sftp? | 02:17 |
| icecube45 | bz: command again please? | 02:17 |
| bz | icecube45: iptables -L as root | 02:17 |
| |Long| | escott, i can ssh and sftp, but not with ftp | 02:18 |
| phungus- | so, any ideas why a Lucid server would be unable to bind ip aliases? | 02:18 |
| icecube45 | hmm thats wierd | 02:18 |
| icecube45 | my securitylog on router | 02:18 |
| escott | |Long|, so back to the original question. if sftp is working why are you using ftp? | 02:18 |
| icecube45 | it says Blocked by DoS protection 192.168.17.1 | 02:19 |
| icecube45 | when | 02:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | icecube45: "sudo iptables -L" will tell you if iptables is set to block anything | 02:19 |
| phungus- | oh good grief was using eth0.1 instead of eth0:1 | 02:19 |
| icecube45 | thats my WAN ip... | 02:19 |
| phungus- | duh | 02:19 |
| phungus- | n/m | 02:19 |
| |Long| | escott, becuase it echo information on irc for me to see what is going on | 02:19 |
| icecube45 | the 192.168.17.1 | 02:19 |
| icecube45 | and DoS is blocking it? | 02:19 |
| phungus- | 16yrs as a sysadmin and this trips me up for 20 mins | 02:19 |
| phungus- | lol | 02:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | icecube45: ah, your router may have an adaptive firewall. If it detected an IP was spamming, scanning or brute forcing, it may have black-listed it. | 02:19 |
| icecube45 | dz: ill make a paste of iptables | 02:20 |
| === forkb0mb is now known as sixdahs | ||
| |Long| | escott, glftpd is the best and most stable ftp out there | 02:20 |
| === sixdahs is now known as forkb0mb | ||
| icecube45 | my iptables, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1072390/ | 02:22 |
| icecube45 | dz: see above | 02:22 |
| icecube45 | dz: i dont know how to read iptables... so | 02:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | good grief, who set that up? | 02:23 |
| icecube45 | uh... ubuntu | 02:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | that suckers got more chains that bike shop! | 02:24 |
| icecube45 | i havent touched iptables | 02:24 |
| icecube45 | is that bad? :/ | 02:24 |
| escott | looks like a standard ufw ruleset | 02:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | do you use any firewall configuration tools (ufw, etc)? | 02:24 |
| escott | !ufw | 02:24 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 02:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Agree with escott, looks like ufw generated it.... | 02:24 |
| icecube45 | well | 02:25 |
| icecube45 | i havent touched ufw either | 02:25 |
| icecube45 | is it blocking my connections? | 02:25 |
| icecube45 | !Ubottu | 02:25 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 02:25 |
| icecube45 | thats so cool | 02:25 |
| icecube45 | everyone needs a ubottu in their lifes | 02:26 |
| escott | !enter | icecube45 | 02:26 |
| ubottu | icecube45: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 02:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | looks like the "ufw-not-local" chain may be causing problems. | 02:26 |
| icecube45 | Darwin, how can i fix | 02:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | as a definitive test, you can run "supo iptables --flush" to disable the firewall | 02:27 |
| cyphase | i have dual monitors, one 1440x900, one 1280x1024. is there a tool i can use to create a wallpaper by combining two images? i can do it in gimp, but preferably there's something simpler | 02:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | I wouldn't recommend running without a firewall with DMZ enabled, it leaves your computer completely unprotected from the internet | 02:28 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !polls | cyphase | 02:28 |
| ubottu | cyphase: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:28 |
| icecube45 | well, worth a shot | 02:28 |
| wardrop | Does anyone know how to get the total size of a directory via the command line? `du` seemed like the perfect tool, but it counts size on disk instead of actual file size. The problem with size on disk is it changes depending on the cluster size of the file system, hence comparing two sets of files in this manner is unreliable. | 02:28 |
| escott | cyphase, gimp would be up there on the simplicity scale. also your image needs to be 1440 x1924 | 02:28 |
| icecube45 | darwin, can u post it again please | 02:28 |
| icecube45 | weechat doesnt let me scroll up | 02:28 |
| icecube45 | !ubottu | icecube45 | 02:29 |
| ubottu | icecube45, please see my private message | 02:29 |
| cyphase | DarwinSurvivor, i wasn't taking a poll, i was asking if there was a tool more focused on my goal. nor did i ask for "the best" tool :) | 02:29 |
| icecube45 | thats so cool | 02:29 |
| escott | wardrop, you could use ls and awk | 02:29 |
| wardrop | escott: Got an example? I'm not quite an uber guru yet | 02:30 |
| icecube45 | DarwinSurvivor: please repeat that iptables command, i missed it | 02:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | cyphase: sorry, we don't have a bang-command for "recommendations", so the "polls" one gets used quite a bit. The #ubuntu channel is for support issues (broken things), you'll probably have better luck in #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:30 |
| cyphase | DarwinSurvivor, fair enough, that did cross my mind :) | 02:30 |
| DarwinSurvivor | icecube45: sudo iptables --flush | 02:30 |
| cyphase | thanks | 02:31 |
| icecube45 | and to turn it back on? | 02:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | wardrop: look in "man du" for options that may allow you to get the "true" size instead of the "disk" size. | 02:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | icecube45: run gufw and it should re-enable it. | 02:31 |
| jrdnn | warpdrop: Try the -A parameter for actual filesystem size instead of disk | 02:31 |
| jrdnn | wardrop* Sorry | 02:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | icecube45: is there any particular reason you are using DMZ, or is it just for testing/debugging? | 02:32 |
| icecube45 | thanks | 02:32 |
| escott | wardrop, http://unstableme.blogspot.com/2009/11/sum-of-numbers-in-file-unix.html | 02:32 |
| icecube45 | well | 02:32 |
| icecube45 | long story | 02:32 |
| escott | wardrop, so ls -s | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}' | 02:32 |
| escott | wardrop, but du --apparent-size is easier | 02:33 |
| bz | icecube45: you realize that i'm 'bz' and not 'dz', right? that's pretty much a guarantee that i won't see your messages | 02:34 |
| wardrop | escott: Well spotted on the --apparent-size attribute. Didn't see that one in the manual. | 02:34 |
| icecube45 | bz: i know | 02:34 |
| icecube45 | bz: it was a while up there | 02:34 |
| bz | holy what my god so many rules | 02:34 |
| icecube45 | bz: typo | 02:34 |
| escott | wardrop, only because it happened to be at the top of the man page. im tooo lazy to scroll :) | 02:34 |
| bz | icecube45: iptables -F as root | 02:34 |
| icecube45 | bz: why? | 02:34 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bz: already have him running --flush | 02:35 |
| bz | DarwinSurvivor: nice nice | 02:35 |
| icecube45 | what he said | 02:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | icecube45: "-F" is the same as "--flush" | 02:35 |
| wardrop | escott: haha, nice | 02:35 |
| icecube45 | k | 02:35 |

They won't be given root etc. I'm just wondering if they can stop the starting of root processes or escalate themselves to root before TTY/ldm etc are started | 02:47 |
| EvilMog | are there any plans to make the process a little more robust? | 02:47 |
| escott | jpmorgan, PATH is separated by : symlinks are like hard links but can be broken and can traverse filesystems. does that cover what you need? | 02:47 |
| icecube45 | bz: it didnt work | 02:47 |
| icecube45 | gry: so how can i do it? | 02:48 |
| DarkNyan | I have a problem with the installation of 12.04 from the Desktop AMD64 Cd regarding the GRUB bootloader installation on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb which resulted in a fatal error and therefore not allowing me to access Ubuntu 12.04 which has been successfully installed on the partition /dev/sda4 build | 02:48 |
| DarkNyan | DarwinSurvivor | 02:48 |
| escott | jhesketh, stopped reading at "i have to give them physical access"... unless you plan to enable a cryptographically signed bootloader (do you have an efi system?) then they have root | 02:48 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: what's the error, and define "can't access" | 02:48 |
| DarkNyan | This has resulted in 2 failed installations. I am running Intel Raid Storage Technology, but I'm not completely sure it is a RAID issue. | 02:48 |
| jpmorgan | escott, i need a lot more than that. it makes sense but still awful putting it into practice | 02:49 |
| escott | DarkNyan, you mean fakeraid | 02:49 |
| DarkNyan | By not access, I mean not being able to boot into Ubuntu 12.04 | 02:49 |
| icecube45 | bz: the echo didnt work, i suspect it times out, for i can enter a new command now | 02:49 |
| escott | jpmorgan, give a specific question then | 02:49 |
| bz | icecube45: uh, does the other window say 'it works'? | 02:49 |
| icecube45 | bz: nope | 02:49 |
| gry | icecube45: '/mouse enable' and drag mouse to left or right | 02:49 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: please be *specific*. "Nothing happens" "I get an error" "the screen goes black" "it stops responding".... | 02:49 |
| bz | nice | 02:49 |
| DarkNyan | Well right now, I need a way to install GRUB Bootloader DarwinSurvivor after a fatal error with no error details. | 02:50 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: you are being *very* vague. If you got a "fatal error" with no message, how did you know it was a "fatal error"? | 02:50 |
| jhesketh | escott: yeah I realise they can boot other systems etc, a signed bootloader is not viable. We have to assume they will boot the live USB - quite a large assumption but we are aware of the consequences of it. Other than that assumption though, is it safe to say they can't get root without rebooting? | 02:50 |
| escott | DarkNyan, if at all possible don't use fakeraid. if you have to use fakeraid then in some limited configurations it will work as a boot device, but its limited | 02:51 |
| DarkNyan | @DarwinSurvivor, it says Fatal Error as a error prompt. Nothing else. | 02:51 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: and is that what you get when installing, or when trying to boot afterwards? | 02:51 |
| DarkNyan | When installing. | 02:51 |
| DarkNyan | The last part of the installation I mean specifically. | 02:52 |
| escott | jhesketh, sure. the fewer permissions you give them in the logged in system the better because it reduces the number of privilege escalation attacks they can make | 02:52 |
| icecube45 | Bz: ubuntu crashed | 02:52 |
| aman_ | can someone help me with a sound related issue on 12.04 | 02:52 |
| bz | icecube45: nice | 02:52 |
| apolo444 | Hello | 02:52 |
| icecube45 | Rstarting | 02:52 |
| aman_ | can someone help me with a sound related issue on 12.04????? | 02:52 |
| escott | jpmorgan, is there a specific situation that isn't working the way you expect it to? | 02:53 |
| jpmorgan | escott, i am nt at a point where i can intelligently ask a question. i see what it does. i just don't know how to do it myself. the other day i installed homebrew on my mac and and it broke my usr local so i moved it to opt. but the usr local paths and manpaths were still there | 02:53 |
| icecube45 | But bz, there was no, it works | 02:53 |
| gry | aman_: only if you ask with all the details, please :-) | 02:53 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: have you verified the installation media ("check this disk for defects" when booting off of it)? | 02:53 |
| aman_ | yes, i have no sound basically, i;ve reinstalled all the drivers as well still nothing | 02:53 |
| jhesketh | escott: Yep, hoping to give them very few permissions. But we also want a logging program to run as root, and I'm just wondering - as it's an upstart daemon - if there is a way a user might stop this. (for example, by interactively booting and choosing not to start that daemon) | 02:53 |
| DarkNyan | If the amount of people asking questions is overwhelming you, I'm always happy to wait :) | 02:53 |
| apolo444 | Hello | 02:53 |
| gry | hi apolo444 | 02:53 |
| jpmorgan | and i couldnt get homebrew to do anything in opt. then i moved it again to home | 02:53 |
| DarkNyan | DarwinSurvivor, I checked before, lemme check again. | 02:53 |
| DarkNyan | Brb. | 02:54 |
| aman_ | gry: yes, i have no sound basically, i;ve reinstalled all the drivers as well still nothing | 02:54 |
| escott | jhesketh, they could reboot to init=/bin/bash, remove the logging program and reboot again | 02:54 |
| icecube45 | Now, bz, is it just not gonna work? | 02:54 |
| gry | aman_: I suspect people would wonder what ubuntu version you're using and what hardware you have | 02:54 |
| escott | jpmorgan, you had a binary which wasn't working in a particular path? | 02:54 |
| apolo444 | Please help to install ubuntu 12.04 | 02:54 |
| icecube45 | Gry: what were u saying about /mouse enable 2 me | 02:55 |
| KM0201 | apolo444: what problem are you having? | 02:55 |
| gry | apolo444: what is the problem please ? | 02:55 |
| ghostchick | aman_, pulsecontrol and alsamixer tried those? | 02:55 |
| gry | icecube45: '/mouse enable' and drag mouse to left/right to switch windows | 02:55 |
| icecube45 | Thanks | 02:55 |
| apolo444 | You speak spanish? | 02:55 |
| jpmorgan | anyway. it just want badly. and now its going badly with installing rvm from source on precise because i removed an earlier version that i dled from the ubuntu repositry and it seems the path didnt fully get removed and now i cant open rvm | 02:55 |

| escott | jpmorgan, when you say path i dont think you mean what we would mean which $PATH | 02:57 |
| icecube45 | Bz: thanks for all ur time, care to play minecraft or anything | 02:57 |
| kaya | what,nwhich | 02:57 |

| DarkNyan | DarwinSurvivor Nope, definitely not that. | 02:57 |
| icecube45 | Ah kk bz | 02:57 |
| icecube45 | That i dont have | 02:57 |
| escott | jpmorgan, if you are installing from source a few things you should do (a) use a prefix in the ./configure step (b) use checkinstall instead of make install (c) install to /opt or /usr/local | 02:57 |
| jpmorgan | ok what is it then? i feel like its a rabbit hole at the moment. | 02:57 |
| apolo444 | El canal ubuntu-es salgo sólo | 02:58 |

| escott | jpmorgan, perhaps you mean residual configuration files. you can apt-get --purge program | 02:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: ok, can you try installing *without* using the raid setup to determine if it is raid related (and not a cpu/network/graphics/etc issue)? | 02:58 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !patience | aman_ | 02:58 |

| baazigar | hello, i just started my ubuntu and my mouse doesnt move | 02:58 |
| DarkNyan | @DarwinSurvivor I didn't use the RAID in the first place unless its automatically included with the Desktop AMD64 CD. Sorry for misinforming you if I did. | 02:59 |
| jpmorgan | i did purge when i removed ruby but this still is on the machine gem | 02:59 |
| jpmorgan | bash: /usr/bin/gem: /usr/bin/ruby1.8: bad interpreter: No such file or directory | 02:59 |
| quixotedon | baazigar: have you done updating the os? | 02:59 |
| aman_ | ok i'll wait | 02:59 |
| baazigar | quixotedon : i did it 3 weeks ago | 02:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: so you are not using the Intel Raid you mentioned earlier? | 02:59 |
| icecube45 | Bz: new error.. | 03:00 |
| bz | icecube45: go aehad | 03:00 |
| escott | jpmorgan, that is just saying that /usr/bin/gem is installed and the first line of that program is #!/usr/bin/ruby1.8 which is not a valid executable. so "bad interpreter" for /usr/bin/gem | 03:00 |
| DarkNyan | I said it was a possibility because I have Intel Rapid Storage Technology but it doesn't seem to be why in my own opinion. | 03:00 |
| quixotedon | baazigar: before it was working fine? | 03:00 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aman_: while you wait, check your hardware (wireless mouse batteries, touchpade disable switch, cords, etc) | 03:00 |
| apolo444 | En ubuntu es salgo yo sólo | 03:00 |

| apolo444 | Ok | 03:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | aman_: oops wrong name, please ignore | 03:01 |

| DarwinSurvivor | baazigar: while you wait, check your hardware (wireless mouse batteries, touchpade disable switch, cords, etc) | 03:01 |
| baazigar | quixotedon : oh wow its working now, it was a temporary problem after i booted | 03:01 |
| quixotedon | baazigar: yeah, i think so, glad it works now.. :) | 03:02 |
| icecube45 | Well, i have no internet connection, and there is no wireless thingy bz | 03:02 |
| jhesketh | escott: ok, so if they went into /bin/bash for their init they could remove it. However it's a non-persistent live usb so when rebooting their changes should be lost. That said, would setting the init parameter allow them to start other serivces themselves from /bin/bash etc. eg use init=/bin/bash and then start ldm. | 03:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: by "have" do you mean "is connected", "is being used" or "is sitting on the table next to me"? | 03:02 |
| escott | jpmorgan, if you are confused about what program you are executing use the tool "which" "which gem" will tell you the path to the gem executable "ls -l `which gem`" will tell you what that points to if it is a symlink | 03:02 |
| bz | icecube45: no, i mean what have you changed with the new system? did you update, upgrade, delete, modify somethin? | 03:03 |
| icecube45 | I rebooted..Bz | 03:03 |
| escott | jhesketh, they could init=/bin/bash and then modify the system, and then resume the boot | 03:03 |
| DarkNyan | @DarwinSurvivor, I will google and check. | 03:03 |
| jhesketh | escott: ah I see | 03:03 |
| escott | jhesketh, they could change root= argument, let it fail to busybox, then find root, make changes... | 03:03 |
| bz | icecube45: hm, ifconfig -a? | 03:04 |
| jhesketh | escott: hmm, ok then.. thanks for that. I don't suppose there is a way to limit the boot loader so they can't modify any of these parameters? | 03:04 |
| jhesketh | (I'm guessing that's not easy) | 03:04 |
| icecube45 | Well i cant paste3 it bz | 03:04 |
| aman_ | yes Darwin, I'm trying. I've tried every post there is on line. Reinstalled everything. | 03:04 |
| escott | jhesketh, for a usb system there probably is, but i dont know what it would be | 03:04 |
| bz | icecube45: no need, just read off the device names | 03:04 |
| jpmorgan | escott, $ which gem /usr/bin/gem $ gem -v bash: /usr/bin/gem: /usr/bin/ruby1.8: bad interpreter: No such file or directory | 03:04 |
| bz | icecube45: eth0, eth2, ham0, and lo, right? | 03:04 |
| jhesketh | escott: ok, no worries. Thanks very much for all your help :-) | 03:04 |
| icecube45 | Lo, ham0, eth2, eth0 | 03:04 |
| DarkNyan | DarwinSurvivor It is installed but not being used on my computer. | 03:05 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: what is it, a pci-e card, a motherboard-embedded controller, etc? | 03:05 |
| escott | jpmorgan, run "head `which gem`" you will see the first line is "#!/usr/bin/ruby1.8" run "ls -l /usr/bin/ruby1.8" and you will see it doesn't exist | 03:05 |
| bz | icecube45: so, as root, "dhclient eth2" | 03:06 |
| DarkNyan | DarwinSurvivor It is a Firmware RAID that is marketed with Intel Harddrives. | 03:06 |
| icecube45 | Im trying rebooting.. | 03:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: ok, so part of the motherboard/bios then. Have you confirmed that it is disabled in the BIOS? | 03:06 |
| icecube45 | Bz: im rebooting | 03:06 |
| DarkNyan | DarwinSurvivor I could not find any trace of it in the BIOs + The Intel Raid Storage Technology Panel says it is not enabled. | 03:07 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: what "panel". is it a physical panel, a windows config panel, a bios page, etc? | 03:07 |
| DarkNyan | DarwinSurvivor: It is a software panel. | 03:07 |
| jpmorgan | when i ran head all i got was an ">" and yes ruby1.8 doesn't exist | 03:08 |
| escott | jpmorgan, you cannot run /usr/bin/gem, because it needs /usr/bin/ruby1.8 (that is the specified interpreter) and you have uninstalled it. you might be able to run /usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/bin/gem, but unless /usr/local/bin/ruby is a ruby1.8 interpreter your /usr/bin/gem is not tested to work with it | 03:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: a software panel *where*? | 03:08 |
| DarkNyan | DarwinSurvivor: In my Windows Tray panel. | 03:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: in a windows install, in another linux install, etc? | 03:08 |
| icecube45 | Bz upon booting, it says, booting system without full network configuration | 03:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: ok, then there is a good chance it is disabled in WINDOWS, but the motherboard is still using it! | 03:09 |
| bz | icecube45: dhclient eth2 | 03:09 |
| DarkNyan | Well I can't find any trace of it in the BIOS, unless SATA mode is supposed to be in IDE instead of AHCPI, I have no idea how to disable it. DarwinSurvivor | 03:09 |
| arall | icecube45: what's in your /etc/network/interfaces? | 03:10 |
| escott | jpmorgan, if your attitude is "damn the torpedoes" and you want to use YOUR ruby interpreter to run the system provided gem, then you can use update-alternatives to establish a symlink from /usr/bin/ruby1.8 to /usr/local/bin/ruby, or just slam the symlink in manually (discouraged). best course of action though is to uninstall gem, and install /usr/local/bin/gem that is compatible with /usr/local/bin/ruby | 03:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: how many hard drives do you have installed? | 03:10 |
| icecube45 | Arall uh | 03:10 |
| DarkNyan | @DarwinSurvivor 1 harddrive with one 540GB Partition for Windows, and a 40GB partition for Ubuntu as well as 15GB System Reserved partition. | 03:11 |
| jpmorgan | point is gem is not installed: sudo apt-get remove --purge gem Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package gem is not installed, so not removed | 03:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: you mentioned there as an sda and an sdb, is that correct? | 03:11 |
| icecube45 | Arall, can i get back 2 u, got 2 quickly do something | 03:11 |
| escott | !find /usr/bin/gem | 03:11 |
| ubottu | File /usr/bin/gem found in gem2deb, gemanx-gtk2, gems, mhc-utils, netpbm, ruby1.9.1, ruby1.9.3, rubygems | 03:11 |
| escott | jpmorgan, ^^^ | 03:11 |
| arall | icecube45: OK | 03:11 |
| jpmorgan | escott, i dont want to run the system provided gem. but the system is not allowing me to run the rvm one | 03:11 |
| escott | jpmorgan, because /usr/local/bin is appearing in $PATH after /usr/bin. so it finds /usr/bin/gem and says "I found gem" | 03:12 |
| DarkNyan | @DarwinSurvivor I tried sda but it is not a partition with any data on it, it is recognized as the harddrive. I'm going to try to reinstall with GRUB in it's own partition. | 03:12 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan: from what I've read, intel's fakeraid (which appears to be what you have) is notorious for being a PITA to get working correctly, so I'm not surprised you are having troubles | 03:13 |
| escott | jpmorgan, in any case uninstall rubygems package, and maybe flip your PATH ordering around to export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH | 03:13 |
| RED_ | hey I got a little problems, I tried install Wine via PPA, it downloaded the packages fine and all that stuff, I get a pop up for the MS fonts thingy.

| DarkNyan | @DarwinSurvivor, I am probably wrong about RAID then. Intel Matrix RAID [Intel Rapid Storage Technology] is a firmware RAID and is out of control of the software in Windows. Any way to disable it? I'm trying to google it but I can't find anything useful. | 03:14 |
| DarwinSurvivor | RED_: PPA's are 3rd party repositories and as such are not supporting in the #ubuntu help channel. You will need to contact the owner of the PPA directly for assistance | 03:14 |
| RED_ | yea I know that any way to force quit apt-get? | 03:14 |

| DarkNyan | @Jordan_U I'm in Windows as @DarwinSurvivor knows. | 03:16 |
| RED_ | yea well I can't do anything else unless I can accept the agreement | 03:16 |
| escott | jpmorgan, but you are pulling in a half dozen concepts at once in this. so you just have to struggle with them until they make sense. | 03:16 |
| RED_ | I can clean up a dirty install | 03:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | RED_: can you post a screenshot? | 03:17 |
| jpmorgan | escott, i will check those out.and yes i make a mess of things at first. thn i somehow put it back together. im very messy. and again thanks for directing me to the right path. | 03:17 |

| DarwinSurvivor | RED_: which software? the wine PPA? | 03:28 |
| spyder83 | Jordan: it's not anything you do manually. You just enable it and it increases the multiplyer by one when it needs to | 03:28 |
| aman_ | yup bz | 03:28 |
| bz | aman_: mplayer an mp3 file | 03:28 |
| aman_ | no sound | 03:28 |
| arall | icecube45: I missed when you first described the problem. You have no icon for wireless, right? | 03:28 |
| InferiorHuman | Jordan_U, goes from like 3.4 to 3.8ghz when it needs it on new ivy bridge cpu's so basically 400mhz which is nothing compared to the 1gig you can easily oc it | 03:28 |
| icecube45 | And no connection arall | 03:28 |
| RED_ | apt-get gives me that error | 03:28 |
| Jordan_U | DarkNyan_: OK, no sign of FakeRAID there. Try following this guide and post any error messages you get (if any): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#ChRoot | 03:28 |

| DarkNyan_ | Sure thing Jordan_U DarwinSurvivor | 03:29 |
| Jordan_U | spyder83: In this case, since it's a kernel panic, you want "ubuntu-bug linux". | 03:29 |
| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan_: that shows you having *2* hard drives, a Sony 4GB and a Samsung 640GB. Is it by any chance a "hybrid" (hdd+ssd) drive? | 03:29 |

| DarwinSurvivor | RED_: for help installing software from a PPA, you need to contact the PPA developer. If you need help with any other software (including the *official* wine version), we can help you with that | 03:30 |

| DarwinSurvivor | DarkNyan_: be back in 5 minutes | 03:41 |
| dr_willis | DarkNyan_: if you are booting drive sda, then yes. it goes on sda. not sda1 | 03:42 |
| arall | icecube45: aha. sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 03:42 |
| DarkNyan_ | @Dr_willis Doesn't work that way I believe /sda/ is a harddrive with no free space or used space. | 03:42 |
| taime1 | Hello. I have a machine that will only boot linux (many flavors) in like 8 bit color mode.. installing nvidia drivers doesnt help at all. Windows runs fine. Any idea what it could be? | 03:42 |
| DarkNyan_ | @DarwinSurvivor Sure, no problems. | 03:42 |
| dr_willis | DarkNyan_: the mbr of the drive is a very tiny part. even if the hd is full. you can write to the mbr. | 03:42 |
| icecube45 | Um arall, no internet connection.. | 03:43 |
| dr_willis | DarkNyan_: and theres no need for @ on irc.... | 03:43 |
| arall | icecube45: lol sorry forgot you are lacking internet | 03:43 |
| icecube45 | Ya.. | 03:43 |
| zjhui | should i editor the grub.cfg manually ? | 03:43 |
| arall | icecube45: Can you plug an ethernet cable in? | 03:43 |

| icecube45 | That means restarting my cop, for the battery isnt charging | 03:43 |
| icecube45 | Comp | 03:44 |
| Jordan_U | DarkNyan_: '/dev/sda' not '/dev/sda/' | 03:44 |
| dr_willis | DarkNyan_: thats not saying sda is full. its saying it cant find sda for some reason. | 03:44 |
| dr_willis | Jordan_U: good catch | 03:44 |
| DarkNyan_ | @Jordan_U My mistake :( Have a cookie @dr_willis I do it as a habit, sorry if that bothers you :( | 03:44 |
| dr_willis | seems using @ all the time .. would get very annoying.. and hurt your hand.. ;) | 03:45 |

| DarkNyan_ | Nice tip :) dr_willis | 03:46 |
| DarkNyan_ | It looks like it works now. I'm going to try. Thanks dr_willis , DarwinSurvivor , Jordan_U | 03:46 |

| devslash | dr_willis: watchu talkin about | 04:12 |
| dr_willis | sudo service samba restart (i think, or similer) | 04:12 |

| jrdnn | devslash: 10 minutes with no messages in a channel with hundreds of people logged in? | 04:12 |

| dr_willis | get over it.. unity works very well. | 04:17 |
| jrdnn | V3NG3NC3678: You can use whatever theme you want, unity isn't required for Ubuntu or any other Linux distro | 04:17 |
| dr_willis | i got my unity tweaked very well. the hud is handy. and lenss save me a lot of time. | 04:17 |

| dr_willis | gnome-shell is ppopular -- it deoends on what you want | 04:18 |
| SwedeMike | actually, unity in the latest incarnation (12.04) works pretty well, you just have to get used to it. I've started to like to find my applications by means of pressing the windows key and then typing the name, then using cursor keys to find and then enter to select. Using the mouse is a lot more cumbersome. | 04:18 |
| t1m310rd | does anyone know of a way to install a repository's full contents automatically? | 04:18 |
| dr_willis | theres some unofficial unity tweaks/addons that hopefully get included by default in 12.10 ;) | 04:19 |

| linux_is_my_hero | ignerious: i know just enough to get by, which is why i would reinstall. but can you fix unity in the hour it takes for ubuntu to install? that's what it will come down to. | 04:39 |
| ignerious | ohhhh | 04:40 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ugnerious: on the other hand, this is also an opportunity for you to learn. if you are the patient type, and you can break the problem into little pieces and make a plan, then you can fix it without reinstalling, and learn a whole lot about linux | 04:40 |
| * dr_willis dident even see ignerious 's issue.. | 04:40 | |
| linux_is_my_hero | ignerious: dr_Willis seems very knowledgable. | 04:41 |

| linux_is_my_hero | dr_Willis: what is secure boot? | 04:41 |

| HaltingState | a taskbar should be an option in unity; who made the decision to destroy the operating system | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | your summary would be 'you are having package manager issues' | 04:47 |
| JoseeAntonioR | HaltingState: You can choose to use other desktop environments if you're willing to. | 04:48 |
| ignerious | yes that is it | 04:48 |
| ddelony | I've run a fsck in recovery mode and now it seems to boo okay. I've had this happen several times already. | 04:48 |
| ignerious | please help me now | 04:48 |
| dr_willis | and i can barely read that log. im on my cell phone. check the askubuntu.com site and forums perhaps for how to fix up apt/packages when they get confused. i rarely need tomess with apt-get in that depth | 04:48 |
| majest_ | can anyone help configuring a static IP on ubuntu server 12.04? | 04:49 |
| JoseeAntonioR | !patience | majest_ | 04:49 |
| ubottu | majest_: 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/ | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | majest_: check askubuntu.com ? i think its a single file you edit. but ive never done it myself. | 04:50 |
| HaltingState | JoseeAntonioR, not having a task bar should not be a choice. Its like saying the jews under hilter "had a choice" to leave germany | 04:50 |
| majest_ | i have for 11.04 and it worked fine but i'm having no luck | 04:50 |
| ignerious | any on can help me??? | 04:50 |

| V3NG3NC3678 | now for the million dollar question,.. how do I ride myself of unity? | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | V3NG3NC3678: and you have actually USED unity for what? 20 sec now? | 04:55 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Lol im on android right now :-) | 04:55 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | not even,.. it's not even installed | 04:56 |
| dr_willis | V3NG3NC3678: install any of the other dozen window managers/ or desktops out there... | 04:56 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | I just don't want it | 04:56 |
| JoseeAntonioR | V3NG3NC3678: In the login screen, click on the srew icon. You'll find other options there. | 04:56 |
| majest_ | sudo apt-get install gnome-panel | 04:56 |
| CellTech | it makes me chuckle. We linux peoples have so many programs to do some odd stuff. But no one has figured out how to break open and closed CD-R and reuse it.. I don't use CD's. So I only need this 1 to fix a dumb dell laptop that doesn't boot from usb | 04:56 |
| dandaman | damn i think i might have to hack around in the bios for this one :\ | 04:56 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Dandaman: yeah the older bios are like that :-( | 04:56 |
| dandaman | yeah xev isnt picking up these key presses | 04:57 |
| dandaman | this mobo is like a year old :\ | 04:57 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | the login after I install it? | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | dandaman: check the tail of 'dmesg' output it may have some info | 04:57 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Dandaman: i got nothin. Sorry :-( | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | V3NG3NC3678: the login screen has a 'gear' icon that lets you pick what desktop to use | 04:57 |
| shal3r | "recovery mode" in 12.04 now runs X, not single user mode. Is it possible to override that from grub? | 04:57 |
| dandaman | i did, didnt say anything | 04:57 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | oh sweet | 04:57 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | did not know that | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | i bet theres a lot about Unity you dont know either... | 04:58 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | I am actually kinda excited | 04:59 |
| * dr_willis must have 24 items in that Gear/session icon menu on his Login screen.. | 04:59 | |
| V3NG3NC3678 | I been waiting to try ubuntu 10+ for a while now | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | some of the docks even add their own 'dock + just a window manager' entry | 05:00 |
| * dr_willis is using 12.04 :) | 05:00 | |
| dandaman | god i hope the bios has something for me.... | 05:00 |

| JoseeAntonioR | ignerious: I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that now. | 05:01 |
| bent-stack | Hi all, is there a way to filter the Ubuntu IRC channels to focus on one discussion - People often post a wealth of usefull diagnotic information..but the discussion is often hard to follow later - from http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ | 05:01 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Ignerious: have you gotten to the tty yet? | 05:02 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | No to stream to a server | 05:02 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | on win I use Sam broadcaster | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | hmm. normally the server streams to the clients... | 05:02 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | I am the broadcaster | 05:02 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | broadcaster ---> server -- clients | 05:02 |

| sede | halp me, ANYONE from those present here to set up a server group softwared | 05:04 |
| OerHeks | !info mixxx | 05:04 |
| ubottu | mixxx (source: mixxx): Digital Disc Jockey Interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.10.0~dfsg0-1build1 (precise), package size 2399 kB, installed size 5404 kB | 05:04 |
| dr_willis | must be under differnt package names | 05:04 |
| OerHeks | icecast is not in the repo's, i guess. but suitable for streaming. | 05:04 |
| dr_willis | sede: perhaps tell the channel what you mean by a 'server group softwared' | 05:04 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | is mixx on the repos? | 05:05 |
| OerHeks | V3NG3NC3678, sure | 05:05 |

| shal3r | Is it possible to disable X startup via boot option in grub? | 05:06 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | shal3R! | 05:07 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | wher do I know you from? | 05:07 |
| aeon-ltd | shal3r: you mean stop gdm from starting? i don't think so grub only does kernel boot options iirc | 05:07 |
| shal3r | aeon-ltd, that's bad. My mouse and keyboard is not working in X, so i can do nothing | 05:09 |
| ghostchick | shal3r, change the init lvl | 05:09 |
| shal3r | ghostchick, how? | 05:09 |
| sede | dr_willis, thanks for the sigerencia | 05:10 |
| sede | I could help, they mean by group server software, the truth I have to configure one but I have no idea that setting, there is little information on this type of server | 05:10 |
| majest_ | Has anyone had the error "an inet prefix is expected rather than..." when configuring a static IP on 12.04 server | 05:14 |
| dandaman | wonderful...my mobo doesnt have a bios | 05:15 |
| dandaman | how is this even possible | 05:15 |
| bent-stack | majest_: what command are u using to set the ip? | 05:15 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | so any guess as to why my GPU wouldn't display the GUI from 10+? | 05:16 |
| sede | I could help, they mean by group server software, the truth I have to configure one, but I have no idea that you could set set, there is little information on this type of server | 05:16 |

| V3NG3NC3678 | if I remember right I had a ATI in that dell | 05:22 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | dell is worst for linux I think | 05:23 |
| devslash | i want my server to have a static ip so i added this to /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 faceeth0 inet static | 05:23 |
| OerHeks | V3NG3NC3678, if it is ATI, then it is so old that even nouveau doesn't support it. | 05:23 |
| devslash | address 192.168.1.32 net mask 255.255.255.0 | 05:23 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | that was an e-1505 | 05:23 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | had a dual core | 05:24 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | so wasn't that bad | 05:24 |
| sede | randomDude , what you mean | 05:24 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | i dunno what is worse\ | 05:25 |
| sede | randomDude: what you mean | 05:25 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | dual 1.6 or cingle 2.1ghz | 05:25 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | lol | 05:25 |
| OerHeks | V3NG3NC3678, with flash you would want dual core. | 05:26 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | nah I got a main rig for that | 05:26 |
| devslash | i want my server to have a static ip so i added this to /etc/network/interfaces: auto eth0 | 05:26 |
| devslash | iface eth0 inet static | 05:26 |
| devslash | address 192.168.1.32 | 05:26 |

| devslash | no i don't use mac blocking | 05:28 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | tho I didn't see the login screen cause I diabled it | 05:28 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Devslash: anything changed from when you were able to get to the internet? Upgrades, hardware changes? | 05:28 |
| devslash | hmm i did dhclient eth0 and it now it works | 05:28 |

| fidel | ahoi | 05:58 |
| Psytonic | jrdnn: so theres no linux equivalent? just use netbios? or rather netbios is the standard, not just a windows thing? | 05:59 |
| LeJoker | Quick question: If I have a link, and a program/shortcut whatever references that link, will it access the actual location of the folder? | 06:01 |
| Dr_O | Psytonic: what do you mean by netbios? do you mean sharing files and printers between linux machines? | 06:01 |
| LeJoker | (12.04) | 06:02 |
| Psytonic | no, i want a name->ip service kind of thing | 06:02 |
| Psytonic | but not a centralised dns | 06:02 |
| Dr_O | unix traditionaly used DNS | 06:02 |
| ccb056 | is the chrome search bar broken for just me or everyone? | 06:02 |
| Psytonic | something akin to windows broadcasting it's own name | 06:02 |
| Dr_O | I never understand why DNS is not what peiple want when IP/machine maping.. but maybe that is just me. You could check out boinjour/avahi type stuff | 06:03 |
| Psytonic | dns requires a server, thats basically it - I'm working with 6 autonamous robot peers | 06:03 |
| Random832 | Psytonic: my system sends its hostname to the dhcp server [a netgear router] which provides dns service for the local network | 06:03 |
| Random832 | that's fairly standard | 06:03 |
| Random832 | how do these robot peers know their ip address? | 06:04 |
| Random832 | how do they know their own hostname | 06:04 |
| * tMH is gone. nsf | 06:04 | |
| Psytonic | Random832: thats what I'm trying to work out | 06:04 |
| === tMH is now known as Guest11672 | ||
| Dr_O | with 6 just put themin /etc/hosts | 06:04 |
| Psytonic | I can set hostnames easily enough, but I'd rather not have to have static IPs | 06:04 |
| Random832 | Psytonic: knowing their own ip address and own hostname is the first step, you have to have that before they can tell anyone else their hostname | 06:04 |
| Random832 | get a dhcp server | 06:04 |
| Random832 | or static ips | 06:04 |
| Random832 | that is your choice | 06:04 |
| Psytonic | got a DHCP server, on the router | 06:05 |
| Random832 | ok | 06:05 |
| Random832 | so they tell the dhcp server their hostname, and it provides dns | 06:05 |
| Random832 | just like on millions of other home networks | 06:05 |
| Random832 | why do they need names, anyway? | 06:05 |
| LeJoker | Better yet: How do I change the install directory of a program, assuming I already moved the files? | 06:05 |
| Psytonic | hmmm...I thought u had to have some other mechanism | 06:05 |
| Psytonic | IP's may change | 06:05 |
| ghostnik11 | How do u get xorg to display to tv | 06:05 |
| Random832 | ok | 06:06 |
| Random832 | i mean why do you need to uniquely identify them at all | 06:06 |
| Psytonic | so basically I just need to get them to send their hostname? | 06:06 |
| === DeviantSOP is now known as Killeroid | ||
| Random832 | they're identical "robot peers", doesn't each one just need to find the ooooooother five? | 06:06 |
| Psytonic | Random832: yes | 06:06 |
| Random832 | so have each one scan the local network for whatever port they listen on | 06:06 |
| ghostnik11 | I am trying to tell my laptop to display to tv but the function key +f4 won't do it | 06:06 |
| Random832 | or send a broadcast udp packet | 06:07 |
| Random832 | if they're all on a local segment you've got some extra tricks available | 06:07 |
| Psytonic | Random832: drop outs are a big issue, dont want to have to scan | 06:07 |
| Psytonic | and not on a local segment | 06:07 |
| Random832 | or you could use zerocon, which i don't understand much about - it's layered on broadcast dns | 06:07 |
| Random832 | zeroconf | 06:07 |
| Psytonic | kk | 06:07 |
| Psytonic | hmmm | 06:08 |
| Psytonic | might just stick to netbios | 06:08 |
| Psytonic | supervisor is probably going to crack the shits if I spend too long on it, lol | 06:08 |
| Random832 | that still leaves you having to assign hostnames to each machine | 06:08 |
| Psytonic | oh wait, hostnames rather | 06:08 |
| Random832 | are you sure they're _not_ sending the | 06:08 |
| Psytonic | yeah, I'm ok with that | 06:08 |
| Random832 | right, yeah | 06:08 |
| LeJoker | Can anyone tell me a bash command to change the install directory of a program installed via the software center in 12.04? | 06:08 |
| Random832 | what kind of router is it | 06:09 |
| Random832 | most should do the hostname / dns thing right out of the box | 06:09 |
| Psytonic | dunno, might change | 06:09 |
| Psytonic | yeah | 06:09 |
| Psytonic | just need to check i guess | 06:09 |
| Psytonic | I just assumed it wasnt working because I was told there was a problem | 06:09 |
| Random832 | are they all on the same router? | 06:09 |
| Psytonic | yup | 06:09 |
| Random832 | eh | 06:09 |

| Random832 | ...wait, you can install to your home via the software center? | 06:10 |
| Psytonic | Dr_O: ta | 06:11 |
| LeJoker | Random832: It was default | 06:11 |
| Random832 | or you mean your user config dir like ~/.program | 06:11 |
| LeJoker | I didn't have an option | 06:11 |
| Random832 | just make a symlink | 06:11 |
| Random832 | then it can still find it by looking in your home | 06:11 |
| LeJoker | I'm kinda new to linux, I don't actually know what that is :P | 06:11 |
| Psytonic | symbolic link: google knows it | 06:11 |
| Random832 | well how about you start over saying what specifically you are talking about, and someone else can help you - it's 2AM for me | 06:11 |

| === chris_away is now known as chrisl | ||
| Oniklus | you can easily apply a grep search to multiple files 'grep -r [a-z]+ file0* | 06:48 |

| dr_willis | most clients support hiding the part/joins stufff | 06:55 |
| dr_willis | i dont see any of those messages ;) | 06:55 |
| dial-a-monkey | hmm not empathy? | 06:55 |
| dr_willis | empathy is a poor irc client.it may have a plugin for it | 06:55 |

| fizyplankton | Saiki: im cinfused. is ubuntu having problems, or is windows having (more) problems? | 07:27 |
| Cottus | cat id_ecdsa.pup > authorized_keys | 07:28 |
| samir | ok | 07:28 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: my server (ubuntu) has a webpage (iweb) that I can't access. I'm trying to figure out why that page is not working | 07:28 |
| Cottus | no | 07:28 |
| Cottus | @ devslash | 07:28 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: does it load on any machine? | 07:29 |
| devslash | and do i need to store that in a certain location ? | 07:29 |
| Cottus | devslash, you keep the private key in .ssh then run that command on the serverside user .ssh | 07:29 |
| moj0rising | samir: try sudo dpkg -l | grep apache | 07:29 |
| samir | ok wait. | 07:29 |
| devslash | im confused | 07:29 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: not that I'm aware of, only this and the ubuntu machine linked together | 07:29 |
| moj0rising | I see that there is supposed to be a meta-package called lamp-server in 12.04 so that's good. | 07:30 |
| fizyplankton | on the webserver, open a browser and go to 127.0.0.1 | 07:30 |
| Cottus | devslash, public is for the public | 07:30 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: actually, what port is it on? | 07:30 |
| devslash | Cottus: if i use a pretty complex password, is it even necessary to do all this ? | 07:30 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: should be 8080, I'm not sure | 07:30 |
| Cottus | devslash, i don't know | 07:30 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: then on the websever, open a browser and go to 127.0.0.1:8080 | 07:30 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: the dev that released it is fond of port 8443, but that doesn't work either | 07:30 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: 8080/ says "It works" | 07:31 |
| Cottus | devslash, there are bruteforce attacks that do not work with private/ public key | 07:31 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: also, are you using apache? | 07:31 |
| samir | mojo there is nothing with name lamp-server | 07:31 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: the default page, as well as /pwAdmin/ work. and yes | 07:31 |
| moj0rising | samir: It looks like you don't have the packages installed... | 07:31 |
| devslash | what do you mean don't work ? | 07:31 |
| Cottus | devslash, i mean you are subject to them | 07:31 |
| samir | it has http apche server | 07:31 |
| devslash | yes | 07:31 |
| samir | and 3-4 mmore | 07:31 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: whats the webserbvers ip? | 07:31 |
| devslash | if i use a 35 character password of letters,numbers and symbols | 07:32 |
| Saiki | 192.168.111.133 | 07:32 |
| moj0rising | try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lamp-server | 07:32 |
| firekraag | Saiki: This is your LAN IP | 07:32 |
| samir | ok.. | 07:32 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: on the win machine, go to 192.168.111.133:8080 | 07:32 |
| fizyplankton | firekraag: trust me. i have apache working | 07:32 |
| Cottus | devslash, i don't know, you'll add the ssh command in a script, correct ? | 07:32 |
| === michael is now known as Guest71515 | ||
| devslash | no what script ? | 07:33 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations! | 07:33 |
| moj0rising | ah! also, the package name is actually lamp-server^ | 07:33 |
| moj0rising | with the '^' | 07:33 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: not sure what tomcat is, but is the page working the way you want? | 07:33 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: for me 192.168.111.133:8080/pwAdmin/ works as well | 07:33 |
| Stark_ | Is there no command to make a volume bootable? | 07:33 |
| Cottus | devslash, you'll then enter the password by hand ??? | 07:33 |
| moj0rising | so if you don't have that in your command, samir, it won't install. | 07:33 |
| samir | ohh..its installing nw. | 07:33 |
| devslash | no | 07:33 |
| Cottus | devslash, ah ,ok | 07:33 |
| samir | without using ^ | 07:33 |
| moj0rising | good deal. | 07:33 |
| devslash | i have it stored in a secure lastpass database | 07:34 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: tomcat6, and the iweb is not, no | 07:34 |
| goddard | whats the difference between RX and TX in networking | 07:34 |
| devslash | and i can retrieve it as needed and paste it | 07:34 |
| chicao__ | Becker says many of the bacteria in the mouth of a dog are species specific, so it won't harm its owner. | 07:34 |
| Cottus | oh,ok | 07:34 |
| chicao__ | wrong # | 07:34 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: but i thot you said that tomcat works with 192.168.111.113:8080 | 07:34 |
| moj0rising | ha. all right. | 07:34 |
| Cottus | Saiki, did java work? | 07:34 |
| Lartza | If I've done rsync -a how would I restore from that? With the same -a switch? | 07:34 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: it does | 07:34 |
| Saiki | Cottus: I'll pm you the reply from grep | 07:35 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: so using the 192....... everything works perfectly? | 07:35 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: not /iweb/ everything else though | 07:35 |
| samir | mojo it said unable to locate lamp-server.. | 07:35 |
| moj0rising | so, samir. keep an eye on the console as the packages install. it will probably prompt you occasionally for things like the MySQL password and such. | 07:35 |
| samir | is it due to missing of ^ | 07:35 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: and is the iweb the java doodad? | 07:35 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: yes | 07:35 |
| moj0rising | okay. one sec. I'm verifying the package name for you. .. | 07:35 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: does iweb work on the server at 127.0.0.1:8080/path/to/iweb | 07:36 |
| samir | its done now...says 0 package installed,0 remove...everything 0 | 07:36 |
| moj0rising | okay. | 07:36 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: don't know how to check | 07:36 |
| moj0rising | the '^' is essential | 07:36 |
| samir | ok id used it 2nd time | 07:37 |
| moj0rising | so you need to type "sudo apt-get install lamp-server^" | 07:37 |
| moj0rising | without the quotes | 07:37 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: on the web server, open up a browser and go to 127.0.0.1:8080/path/to/iweb | 07:37 |
| samir | done .. | 07:37 |
| samir | what next | 07:37 |
| moj0rising | samir: it should now ask you if you want to continue y/n | 07:37 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: it's server ed. I can't just "open a browser" | 07:37 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: so theres no GUI? | 07:38 |
| samir | it didn't . | 07:38 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: correct | 07:38 |
| moj0rising | press enter after pasting that line into the console. | 07:38 |
| samir | bt it did ask me when i installed it first time. | 07:38 |
| firekraag | Saiki: wget '127.0.0.1/path/to/iweb | 07:38 |
| Cottus | Lartza, i aliased once : rsync --acls --devices --executability --group --hard-links --human-readable --itemize-changes --owner --perms --progress --recursive --specials --times --xattrs | 07:38 |
| moj0rising | hmm. | 07:38 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: do you know how to forward ports, and are you comfortable letting me ssh into the server? | 07:38 |
| moj0rising | samir: type "ls /etc/my.cnf" | 07:39 |
| moj0rising | no quotes | 07:39 |
| moj0rising | anything? | 07:39 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: you can't ssh it. there is not internet connection on it | 07:39 |
| samir | no such file or directory | 07:39 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: then what the hell are you setting up a web server on it for?!?!? | 07:39 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: iweb is a control pannel for a game, a game I am playing locally | 07:40 |
| samir | it sayas. no such file or directory | 07:40 |
| Saiki | Cottus: I sent a pm with grep reply | 07:40 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: do you have team viewer installed? | 07:40 |
| moj0rising | still looks like you don't have this stuff installed. | 07:40 |
| moj0rising | so, let's reqind a minute... | 07:40 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: not giving you access to my windows pc | 07:41 |
| moj0rising | rewind | 07:41 |
| Cottus | Saiki, i meant' if now it opens the java enabled website, | 07:41 |
| samir | ok. | 07:41 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: my plan is to use teamviewer to PuTTY into the server. thats itr | 07:41 |
| fizyplankton | it* | 07:41 |
| moj0rising | samir: what, exactly, was the output when you pasted that apt-get line I last sent you? | 07:41 |
| moj0rising | well. just tell me the last line | 07:42 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: I have an ssh open on winscp, if there's commands I need to enter, just tell me | 07:42 |
| moj0rising | so you don't scroll the channel. | 07:42 |
| samir | o updated | 07:42 |
| samir | o installed .. | 07:42 |
| samir | etc. | 07:42 |
| fizyplankton | ssh via irc like this is a nightmare. how hard would it be to give the server internet | 07:42 |
| Saiki | Cottus: I am 99% sure pwAdmin is | 07:42 |
| moj0rising | okay. any reason given? | 07:42 |
| samir | no | 07:43 |
| Saiki | Cottus: yes. pwadmin loads, and it's java-based | 07:43 |
| Stark_ | Seriously, is there no command to make a UDF volume bootable? | 07:43 |
| moj0rising | that's very unusual... | 07:43 |
| Stark_ | Is there any command I can use to have dd give me a bootable volume? | 07:43 |
| Cottus | ok:) | 07:43 |
| samir | i thing everything is installed .. | 07:43 |
| samir | bt still localhots is not showing the page.. | 07:44 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: pretty hard, given my netowrk is crazy. I'm routing a router through a router | 07:44 |
| samir | it works. | 07:44 |
| fizyplankton | Stark_: does it have to be thru cli? or can you do it graphicall? | 07:44 |
| samir | localhost | 07:44 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: I checked the "properties" on the drive, it won't let me change anything, nor is there an option to make it bootable. | 07:44 |
| samir | it says unable to find thepage | 07:44 |
| moj0rising | okay. so if you type service apache2 start, what happens? | 07:44 |
| fizyplankton | Stark_: what program did you do that with? | 07:44 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: Nor does disk utility have any option to make it bootable. | 07:44 |
| geirha | Stark_: You can make iso9660 bootable. I've never heard of bootable UDF... | 07:45 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: dd, I used it to copy a Windows 7 ISO onto my flash drive | 07:45 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: *sigh* have to make things difficult | 07:45 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: not me, my family lol | 07:45 |
| samir | action failed | 07:45 |
| samir | no such file or directory | 07:45 |
| fizyplankton | Stark_: from ubuntu, launch up gparted | 07:45 |
| samir | The Apache error log may have more information. | 07:45 |
| moj0rising | samir: also, can you paste the output of the apt-get line to paste.ubuntu.com for me | 07:45 |
| moj0rising | ah. | 07:46 |
| moj0rising | okay. | 07:46 |
| devslash | anyone here familiar with ssh | 07:46 |
| samir | ok wait. | 07:46 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: Installing | 07:46 |
| devslash | and public/private keys | 07:46 |
| moj0rising | in that, case, samir, type tail -n 20 /var/log/apache2/error_log and paste that to paste.ubuntu.com | 07:46 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: do you want the link totry it yourself on your pc? | 07:47 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: sure | 07:47 |
| Cottus | !ssh | 07:47 |
| ubottu | 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) | 07:47 |
| moj0rising | I am guessing on the exact log file path. I normally run apache in red hat, which is slightly different. | 07:47 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5nulqd | 07:47 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: Alright, gparted is open | 07:47 |
| samir | you are asking about the output from apt-get install lam-server^ | 07:47 |
| samir | ?? | 07:47 |
| Cottus | !ssh-server | 07:47 |
| fizyplankton | Stark_: at the dropdows box at the top right, click /dev/sdb | 07:47 |
| devslash | hey cottus | 07:47 |
| devslash | i thought you left | 07:47 |
| moj0rising | yeah. but, if you are getting apache errors, then just show me the log file instead. | 07:48 |
| Cottus | nah | 07:48 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: Done. Unallocated, unallocated, 3.84GB. | 07:48 |
| fizyplankton | Stark_: gimee a sec | 07:48 |
| devslash | ok i copied the public key to the client I'm connecting from and did cat mypublicfile.pub >> authorized_keys | 07:48 |
| Cottus | wrong | 07:48 |
| Hyperbyte | I have an LTSP (terminal) server with Ubuntu 12.04. For some reason, Thunderbird, Firefox and ksoftirqd are using insane amounts of CPU. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? | 07:48 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: whats this exe? | 07:48 |
| Cottus | to the client you're connecting to | 07:48 |
| devslash | why | 07:48 |
| devslash | huh | 07:49 |
| Cottus | reverse | 07:49 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: its not an exe.. | 07:49 |
| devslash | explain | 07:49 |
| devslash | im confused | 07:49 |
| Cottus | ok | 07:49 |
| samir | oka wait pls. | 07:49 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: Notable that I did not format the drive before using dd. It was totally empty, not even a filesystem. Could this be why dd seems to have made it a UDF? | 07:49 |
| devslash | I'm on the client i want to connect from with the pub file | 07:49 |
| zjhui | i want to install xen on ubuntu 11.10 , after i install the xen-hypervisor-amd64, shuold i make menuconfig the kernel ? | 07:49 |
| fizyplankton | Stark_: right click on the partition, click manage flags, and then hit "boot" | 07:49 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: Can't click "manage flags" | 07:50 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: Only "new" and "information" | 07:50 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: "Click here to start download from sendspace" <click that | 07:50 |
| fizyplankton | Stark_: so you mean there is no partitoin scheme? | 07:50 |
| Cottus | you have a private key, that's yours, you give public to others, encrypt the communication through the private, decrypt through the public, something like that | 07:50 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: Right. | 07:50 |
| devslash | ho do i actually do that | 07:50 |
| devslash | how | 07:50 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: is wants me do download "DownloadSetup.exe" | 07:50 |
| samir | mojorosing ,it says cannot open `/var/log/apache2/error_log' for reading: No such file or directory | 07:50 |
| Cottus | on the client :ssh-keygen -t ecdsa | 07:50 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: I... thought since dd would be formatting it anyway, having no partition scheme wouldn't matter? | 07:50 |
| moj0rising | samir: okay, type ls /var/log | 07:51 |
| Cottus | copy id_ecdsa.pub to the server | 07:51 |
| devslash | what is ecdsa | 07:51 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: Or did I misinterpret the fact that it would erase everything, and it really just meant it would delete all files, not actually format the drive? | 07:51 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: http://fs07n1.sendspace.com/dl/ce9de5ed09d0e3bf5689c7f064737c07/4ff2a41b1dcc8741/5nulqd/iweb145.7z | 07:51 |
| Cottus | !ecdsa | 07:51 |
| Saiki | try that link? | 07:51 |
| moj0rising | paste the results to paste.ubuntu.com | 07:51 |
| Cottus | the evolution of dsa | 07:51 |
| fizyplankton | Stark_: you should format the drive with an MBR partition scheme. "Disk utility" can do that easily. back up your data if necessary, and make sure to close gparted before you partition it | 07:51 |
| Cottus | devslash, they are passwordless keys | 07:52 |
| Cottus | no | 07:52 |
| Cottus | wrong | 07:52 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable | 07:52 |
| devslash | unknown jey type ecdsa | 07:52 |
| devslash | key | 07:52 |
| Cottus | try dsa | 07:52 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: You mean the volume? The drive can't format to an MBR scheme. | 07:52 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: ok I know that page works.. probably just a my-pc link | 07:52 |
| devslash | now do o copy the file it generates to my server ? | 07:52 |
| Cottus | the public one | 07:52 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: Wait, yes it can, that was officially the most retarded thing I can remember ever saying in my life. | 07:52 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: Disregard completely. | 07:53 |
| samir | mojo ,done | 07:53 |
| devslash | does it matter if i use a passphrase | 07:53 |
| devslash | ? | 07:53 |
| fizyplankton | Stark_: lol. most retarded thing so far... | 07:53 |
| devslash | i skipped it | 07:53 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5nulqd rght in the middle it says "click here to start download from sendspace" | 07:53 |
| dr_willis | !info gparted | 07:53 |
| ubottu | gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.11.0-2 (precise), package size 530 kB, installed size 1872 kB | 07:53 |
| Cottus | devslash, i don't know | 07:53 |
| * Stark_ apparently doesn't know how to acronyms | 07:53 | |
| devslash | ok so i copy the public to the server | 07:53 |
| devslash | right ? | 07:54 |
| Cottus | yes | 07:54 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: Should I now create a partition, or just leave the MBR-formatted drive as it is and re-enter my previous dd command? | 07:54 |
| devslash | what about the one i generated on the server ? | 07:54 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: damn. dont have 7z support installed | 07:54 |
| devslash | do i use that one for anything | 07:54 |
| Cottus | it's for the server to connect to you | 07:54 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: lol well, at least we're getting somewhere | 07:54 |
| moj0rising | samir: did you send me the url of your paste? | 07:55 |
| fizyplankton | Stark_: i dont have that much experiance with dd, other than following IRC given commands like theres no tomorow and hoping to high heaven that my disk doesnt got wiped | 07:55 |
| moj0rising | can you paste that url here for me? | 07:55 |
| Stark_ | Alright, I'mma just give dd another try | 07:55 |
| devslash | ok so i copy the public key i generated on the client to ~/.ssh ? | 07:55 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: do you need it in another format? | 07:55 |
| samir | mojo shall i send it here ?? | 07:55 |
| geirha | Stark_: The partition table is stored in the MBR, so you need a partitioning tool that'll update the MBR | 07:56 |
| Cottus | devslash, to the 'user' you want to connect to | 07:56 |
| devslash | where ? | 07:56 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: im installing 7zip support now | 07:56 |
| devslash | where is that | 07:56 |
| samir | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1072705/ | 07:56 |
| Cottus | .ssh that is correct | 07:56 |
| Stark_ | geirha: dd is already running :| | 07:56 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: ok | 07:56 |
| Cottus | devslash, i mean you can add it to all users' .ssh directories | 07:56 |
| geirha | Stark_: And what does that do? | 07:56 |
| Stark_ | geirha: If this doesn't work, though, then I'll just reformat and then add a partition with diskutil. Just wondering what partition scheme I should use. | 07:56 |
| devslash | ok it still doesn't work | 07:57 |
| devslash | i can't connect to it | 07:57 |
| Stark_ | geirha: dd copies the raw data of the ISO onto the flash drive so that it can boot. | 07:57 |
| samir | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1072709/ | 07:57 |
| devslash | on the server i used rsa | 07:57 |
| fizyplankton | i swear. every time i get on irc, im like "im gonna just get this one problem fixed, and thats it". i end up helping 9 people at once and never getting my problem fixed. EVERY time | 07:57 |
| devslash | does that matter | 07:57 |
| devslash | ? | 07:57 |
| samir | mojorising | 07:57 |
| samir | this is the log output | 07:57 |
| samir | url | 07:57 |
| samir | did u get it ? | 07:58 |
| moj0rising | samir: okay. good. apache is definitely installed then | 07:58 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: lol I feel your pain. what's the issue you're having? | 07:58 |
| Stark_ | fizyplankton: You're probably just a really awesome person, don't feel too bad | 07:58 |
| geirha | Stark_: Oh you've switched to iso9660? well, if the iso image is bootable, that should make the usb drive bootable | 07:58 |
| fizyplankton | gnome system monitor wont remember to show me the PID columns | 07:58 |
| devslash | Cottus: i used rsa on the server. does that matter ? | 07:58 |
| moj0rising | so I was slightly off on the log file name | 07:58 |
| samir | so what can ishall i do now ?/ | 07:58 |
| moj0rising | it's actually /var/log/apache2/error.log | 07:58 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: uh, what do i do with the files | 07:59 |
| moj0rising | samir: so type tail -n 30 /var/log/apache2/error.log | 07:59 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: it's a tomcat webpage | 07:59 |
| samir | ok | 07:59 |
| moj0rising | paste that into paste.ubuntu.com and give me the url of the paste page | 07:59 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: no. what do i do with them? | 07:59 |
| immortalrites | Can someone please tell me how to get my ipod4g ios 5.1.1 to work with ubuntu, preferrably a method you know will work for me | 07:59 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: they go in the tomcat folder. or do you mean what do they do? | 07:59 |

| fizyplankton | Saiki: wheres the tomcat folder? | 08:00 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: should be /var/lib/tomcat* (mine's 6, so "tomcat6" for me | 08:00 |
| samir | its showing nothing | 08:01 |
| Saiki | and it goes in "webapps" | 08:01 |
| devslash | yes | 08:01 |
| devslash | i edited mine to not allow password prompt | 08:01 |
| moj0rising | samir: the log file is empty? | 08:01 |
| moj0rising | or does not exist? | 08:01 |
| ct529 | hi everybody .... I am trying to install kubuntu on a GPT formatted disk, but i have been unsuccessfull so far .... the installer does not see the GPT partitioning | 08:01 |
| ct529 | in other words, it sees the partitions, but sees the total dimension of the disk (750G) as 95G, and the partitions seem much smaller than what they actually are if I see them using gparted | 08:01 |
| ct529 | any clue? | 08:01 |

| immortalrites | no one here uses an ipod touch and knows how to get it to work with ubuntu? | 08:02 |
| samir | sorry/.. | 08:02 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: i dont have a /var/lib/tomcat. still not sure what tomcat is | 08:02 |
| samir | its not. | 08:02 |
| samir | samir@samir-Lenovo-G460:~$ tail -n 30 /var/log/apache2/error.log | 08:02 |
| samir | samir@samir-Lenovo-G460:~$ | 08:02 |
| samir | prompt returns like this | 08:02 |
| moj0rising | okay. good. | 08:02 |
| moj0rising | but you need the whole path in there... | 08:02 |
| moj0rising | tail -n 30 /var/log/apache2/error.log | 08:03 |
| immortalrites | :( I really need a way to get my ipod to work, nobody has a way of doing it? | 08:03 |
| moj0rising | immortalrites: I don't. Sorry. Silly question: Have you googled? | 08:03 |
| samir | whole path of which file ?? | 08:03 |
| moj0rising | the log file we | 08:03 |
| immortalrites | yes I'm done lots of gogling | 08:04 |
| elshaka | is there a way to downgrade the flash plugin that comes with google-chrome? | 08:04 |
| immortalrites | *googling | 08:04 |
| Saiki | !tomcat | 08:04 |
| moj0rising | 're trying to read, samir | 08:04 |
| Saiki | !tomcat6 | 08:04 |
| Saiki | bah.. ubotu don't like me lol | 08:04 |
| moj0rising | immortalrites: ..and what are the results of your searches? | 08:04 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: lol. forever alone | 08:04 |
| immortalrites | Alot of methods, none of them work for me. | 08:04 |
| immortalrites | various problems | 08:04 |
| dr_willis | elshaka: i saw the asksubuntu.com site had literally dozens of tips/tricks/hacks with flash for differnt reasons. It mentioned the files used for flash by chrome. so itss most likely possible. | 08:05 |
| samir | i don't know what to do .. | 08:05 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: search for it in synaptic. It's java-based webpages | 08:05 |
| samir | mojo | 08:05 |
| moj0rising | maybe if you can tell us some error messages or more specific issues you are having after attempting install, we can help you even though we don't have ipod touches. | 08:05 |
| Saiki | !apache-tomcat | 08:05 |
| Saiki | nope, ubutu knows nothing about it lol | 08:05 |
| moj0rising | samir: just paste this "tail -n 30 /var/log/apache2/error.log" into your command console. | 08:05 |
| moj0rising | then press enter | 08:05 |
| dr_willis | then stand back! | 08:06 |
| moj0rising | paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com | 08:06 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 08:06 |
| immortalrites | well banshee says it syncs my ipod but it simply does not, the songs are not actually put on my ipod, itunes in wine and play onlinux does not recognize my ipod, and rhythembox says my ipod is full when its barely half full | 08:06 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: /var/lib/tomcat6 is there mine's stored | 08:06 |
| elshaka | dr_willis, thanks i'll check | 08:06 |
| samir | its same. | 08:06 |
| fizyplankton | immortalrites: i think gtkpod will work. not sure tho | 08:06 |
| samir | no output.. | 08:06 |
| dr_willis | elshaka: the askubuntu.com site is where i learned how to replace flash with vlc to play videos from youtube. :) | 08:07 |
| immortalrites | I'll try gtkpod some more, couldnt figure it out but I'll try again | 08:07 |
| elshaka | dr_willis, wow that's quite awesome :D | 08:07 |
| samir | i think i shall wholley install lamp from beginni g ? | 08:08 |
| drgonzo | Hello all | 08:08 |
| moj0rising | good luck, immortalrites. Come back and let us know how you did or bring some more detail on exactly what trouble you're having and we may be able to hook you up. | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | elshaka: yep. basically i dont need flash any moar. | 08:08 |
| === drgonzo is now known as Guest85199 | ||
| samir | shall i ?/ | 08:08 |
| samir | mojo ?? | 08:08 |
| moj0rising | samir: so you get a file not found error when you paste that line? | 08:08 |
| moj0rising | or the file is empty? | 08:08 |
| moj0rising | I don't think that will help, samir. | 08:09 |
| Guest85199 | I've just installed a fresh copy of 11.04 Natty. I've plugged in a external USB drive that I can access fine through nauticalis, but when i try to access it via terminal i get permission denied. Its automounted with ownership of my account. Any ideas? | 08:09 |
| moj0rising | I think there is a little problem we just don't know about because we haven't seen the log file. | 08:09 |
| fizyplankton | Guest85199: do ls -l /media and give me the line with your flash drive | 08:09 |
| moj0rising | Guest85199: have you tried reading that volume with sudo / as a priviliged user? | 08:10 |

| Guest85199 | i've tried chown -R username home backup and still cant access it | 08:11 |
| fizyplankton | Saiki: lol wimp. its 410 here | 08:11 |
| Guest85199 | but i can access it fine via naticalis | 08:11 |
| fizyplankton | Guest85199: do ls -l /media and give me the line with your flash drive | 08:11 |
| Saiki | fizyplankton: I will be woken up before 8 | 08:11 |
| Guest85199 | nautilus sorry | 08:11 |
| Guest85199 | home backup is the usb flash drive | 08:12 |

| fizyplankton | Guest85199: try chmod 700 "/media/home backup" | 08:13 |
| moj0rising | samir: I have to go as well. Sorry I can't stay to help you more. I think once you see the contents of your error.log file, it wil become more clear as to what the matter is. | 08:13 |
| Guest85199 | okay | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | permissions and file ownership confuse new users a lot it seems, ;) | 08:14 |
| moj0rising | . I can see that the directory for that file is present, based on your paste. | 08:14 |
| fizyplankton | dr_willis: aint that the truth | 08:14 |
| Guest85199 | fizyplankton, that did it | 08:14 |
| fizyplankton | Guest85199: its working now? | 08:14 |
| Guest85199 | yes | 08:14 |
| fizyplankton | awesome | 08:14 |
| Guest85199 | i tried 655 but that didnt work | 08:14 |
| Guest85199 | why did 700? | 08:14 |
| dr_willis | had to teach some people at work... even if its just you on the pc.. theres still different users/ownership and permissions for files. | 08:14 |
| moj0rising | you can also try searching for the log file with "locate error.log" or "find / -name error.log" | 08:15 |
| dr_willis | a directory must be 'executable' for you to access whats inside it Guest85199 | 08:15 |
| moj0rising | Good night, everyone. | 08:15 |
| moj0rising | ... morning, for some. :) | 08:15 |
| dr_willis | !permmissions | 08:15 |
| fizyplankton | the importand part is the first number. 6 would have given you read and write permissions, but not the "X" permission. for directories, im not sure what it does, i just know that its often needed. for files, its execute, but for folders........ | 08:16 |
| Cottus | good morning moj0rising | 08:16 |
| dr_willis | its 4 am here | 08:16 |
| Guest85199 | dr_willis: natilus accessed it fine. | 08:16 |
| Cottus | :D | 08:16 |
| nopz | Hi | 08:16 |
| moj0rising | dr_willis: yikes! | 08:16 |
| moj0rising | see you later. | 08:16 |
| fizyplankton | moj0rising: its 4am here too | 08:16 |
| nopz | When you create a new cron in cron.d do you have to manually restart cron ? /etc/init.d/cron restart? | 08:16 |
| moj0rising | too late / early for me. | 08:16 |
| Guest85199 | also this was automounted when plugged in, why would it mount not executable? | 08:16 |
| nopz | Because i have crons that should execute everyday at midnight, but it did nothing | 08:17 |
| fizyplankton | moj0rising: this is my prime time | 08:17 |
| dr_willis | it mounted and kept the original owner. | 08:17 |
| moj0rising | nice. | 08:17 |
| fizyplankton | is my client frozen? this channel is never silent for this long | 08:19 |

| gRAVIty_ | dr_willis: works well on windows 7 I have a dual boot | 08:41 |
| Cottus | Zyclops, you can save a selection of packages to install in !Synaptic, but you can also make a custom livcd | 08:41 |
| Zyclops | right ok | 08:41 |
| gRAVIty_ | At the moment it works on ubuntu too. But I dont know how I long it will continue | 08:42 |

| * dr_willis agrees on both counts.. | 08:52 | |

| AdvoWork | goddard, yeah, spotted it now, thankyou | 08:53 |
| Zyclops | skype is shit | 08:54 |
| goddard | gagan662: you can run classic gnome in 12.04 | 08:54 |
| AdvoWork | out of interest, i assume it's a bad idea to have ssh connections with a password remembered somehow, is there a safe way to do it? | 08:54 |
| goddard | gagan662: it is super simple | 08:54 |
| goddard | AdvoWork: keys | 08:54 |
| * dr_willis likes Unity. | 08:54 | |
| SolarisBoy | AdvoWork: keys or keys with ssh-agents | 08:54 |
| goddard | unity rocks | 08:55 |
| * SolarisBoy agrees with the unity statements | 08:55 | |
| dr_willis | I like my Askubuntu Lens | 08:55 |

| beast-ro | Zyclops - any other options? | 08:56 |
| gagan662 | goddard: yeah it's an alternative.But don't you know how to fix issue | 08:57 |
| goddard | beast-ro: what do you use skype for? just video chat? | 08:57 |
| Zyclops | beast-ro: yeah i've found google chat is much reliable | 08:58 |
| beast-ro | coz all my friends and family use it... i cant change their systems for them... No good chatting by my self! | 08:58 |
| goddard | gagan662: could be a few issues honestly | 08:59 |
| goddard | gagan662: how is the health of the drive? | 08:59 |
| beast-ro | google video chat in g+ is good... i agree | 08:59 |
| AdvoWork | if i can connect to my server(for files) via sftp or smb, which should I chose for speed? | 08:59 |
| goddard | AdvoWork: try them both | 09:00 |
| dr_willis | over the internet or local lan? | 09:00 |
| ssrvm | how can i disable ability of user (non admin lubuntu) to delete icons AND modify panel? help please? | 09:01 |
| AdvoWork | goddard, and just visually monitor the speeds as a test, or is there a more technical way? | 09:01 |
| ssrvm | no help from lubuntu and lxde | 09:01 |
| AdvoWork | dr_willis, over lan | 09:01 |
| goddard | AdvoWork: you could use bmon | 09:01 |
| goddard | AdvoWork: actually I think there is a better way | 09:01 |
| gagan662 | goddard: i have another issue(independent of version) when i run ubuntu from live system hangs nd i have to force shutdown the system | 09:01 |
| dr_willis | AdvoWork: i imagine both will be about as fast as the HD wwill allow. sftp may be slower due to some overhead/encryption. but its most likely easier to use then samba | 09:01 |
| dr_willis | AdvoWork: also it will depend on what the os is on both machines. ;) and what sort of files you are messing wwith | 09:02 |
| goddard | AdvoWork: oh ya time might work | 09:02 |
| goddard | gagan662: what machine are you running? | 09:03 |
| gagan662 | goddard: desktop | 09:03 |
| goddard | gagan662: how old is it? | 09:04 |
| gagan662 | goddard: hp | 09:04 |
| gagan662 | goddard: 4 yrs | 09:05 |
| goddard | gagan662: usually if the live media doesn't work then Ubuntu won't work on the system or the CD is bad | 09:05 |
| gagan662 | goddard: i compared th hashes . media is ok | 09:06 |
| gagan662 | goddard: the* | 09:06 |
| goddard | gagan662: without digging into it to deeply then I would just give 12.04 a go. If your heart is set on 10.04 I would do some hardware error checking and if you confident it is ok then you can dig into the forums and internet for related hardware issues | 09:08 |

| Antonis | what do you mean by sound-system? I installed ubuntu 12.04 three days ago (fresh install no upgrade) and did all the updates but I am facing this problem, which I didn't have with 11.10 | 09:23 |

| Zally666 | The tuner fix? | 09:25 |
| dr_willis | given the lack of details.. no idea | 09:25 |
| Zally666 | K thkx | 09:25 |
| Antonis | fidel, you don't have to answer me through the bot.. if you have the time to help just ask anything you want to know and I will try to answer, if not then just don't =) | 09:26 |
| Zally666 | What detail would u need? | 09:26 |
| MonkeyDust | gcq i also see you have backports activated, that's not so good | 09:26 |
| gcq | MonkeyDust i delete them then. | 09:26 |
| dr_willis | its all about the chipset Zally666 . determine the chipset, check askubuntu.com and the forums and the mythtv forums perhaps to see how well the tuner is supported.' | 09:26 |
| Zally666 | Its supported | 09:27 |

| gcq | MonkeyDust backports removed. Now throws a bzip error as some times does: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1072806/ | 09:29 |
| MonkeyDust | gcq guess something went wrong with the cd or during installing, my advice is to reinstall and see if the same errors occur | 09:31 |
| gcq | i alredy did that, this is the second time i install ubuntu. | 09:32 |

| simonZR | hi, how can I manually add an IP to a url dns resolution in ubuntu 12.04 ? | 09:33 |
| Antonis | Cottus, so? :P | 09:33 |
| bindi | simonZR: sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf | 09:34 |
| Cottus | pulse audio is the sound system fidel asked you before | 09:34 |
| bindi | simonZR: or gedit instead of nano if you wish | 09:34 |
| Antonis | ah okay thank you | 09:34 |
| simonZR | bindi: yes and then? | 09:34 |
| bindi | simonZR: it has examples | 09:34 |
| simonZR | bindi: not really | 09:35 |
| bindi | simonZR: oh? | 09:35 |
| simonZR | bindi: maybe it was modified before. In any case it says DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE | 09:35 |
| bindi | pfft, that's for wussies | 09:36 |
| simonZR | bindi: 'your changes will be overwritten' | 09:36 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||
| bindi | i don't know if ubuntu 12.04 has something special in it then | 09:36 |
| simonZR | in any case is that file not related to the dns server ? | 09:36 |
| bindi | simonZR: try this http://askubuntu.com/questions/130452/how-do-i-add-a-dns-server-via-resolv-conf | 09:37 |
| simonZR | what I want is to add an (url,IP) entry so that it doesn't call the dns server, not change the dns server IP | 09:37 |
| simonZR | bindi: that's not what I want | 09:37 |
| bindi | it's not? | 09:37 |
| bindi | do you want to add something like myfunnyhost.derp so it resolves into any IP you specify? | 09:37 |
| gcq | What you do with a computer with ubuntu installed that can't install packages... Nothing! yay! :( | 09:37 |
| simonZR | bindi: I want to manually add a url dns resolution, rather than adding a new dns server | 09:37 |
| bindi | simonZR: yes, that's what resolv.conf was for | 09:38 |
| bindi | If you want to add more entries to /etc/resolv.conf, create a /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail and add them there. | 09:38 |
| simonZR | bindi: but the question you linked to says 'add a dns server' | 09:38 |
| trey | simonZR, you want to add an entry to /etc/hosts | 09:38 |
| bindi | hmm | 09:38 |
| simonZR | bindi: I don't have a dns server to point to, I just want to manually add a IP | 09:38 |
| simonZR | trey: thank you | 09:38 |
| bindi | oh yes | 09:38 |
| bindi | i mixed hosts and resolv.conf lol | 09:38 |

| Cottus | temp, first thing to do is send the crontab you edited | 10:53 |
| neteffect | what does it mean System-Administration-Printing ? | 10:54 |
| geirha | temp: The main problem with that is that cron does not have any knowledge of your Xserver. To run a graphical program, it must have an Xserver. | 10:55 |

| zxiest | geirha assume we have a webserver that's listening to a port. all clients will be communicating with it. I want to start a new server that accepts the new clients but I don't want to kill the old process yet. When the old process terminates, I want to rename the new process to it | 11:05 |

| fidel | why are you using wubi in the first place alx__ ? | 11:11 |
| bouma | how do i reinstall a package, ie nvidia-current-updates | 11:11 |
| alx__ | fidel, it's the simplest way to install linux without repartitioning etc, afaik | 11:12 |

| saurabh | Can somebody help me to resolve this issue? | 11:41 |
| Dr_willis | viktor, theres numerous tools on the pendrivelinux site also.. or you can just 'dd' the iso file to the flahs drive with 12.04+ | 11:42 |
| fidel | saurabh: have you considered asking in #launchdpad | 11:42 |
| saurabh | fidel, I thought this was a better place to ask for ubuntu development. Wait, I will ask there too... | 11:43 |

| zykotick9 | Dr_willis: i know dd will work for the hybrid images - but cat really is recommended (by the person who appears to have added the feature to d-i) http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/Debian_USB_install_from_hybrid_iso/ | 11:47 |
| Dr_willis | im not even sure of the proper syntax to use cat to do it. :) | 11:49 |
| zykotick9 | cat mini.iso > /dev/sdX | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | but if you decide to use 'sudo' then you have to use tee dont you.. | 11:50 |
| zykotick9 | probably "sudo -i" might be easier | 11:50 |
| Dr_willis | i think i saw this debated in the forums once. befor dd had a larger bs as a default. cat was faster.. now a days. Im not sure if theres any speed diff. | 11:51 |
| geirha | dd or cat plus redirection, makes no difference. Maybe one is slightly faster than the other, who cares? | 11:54 |
| Dr_willis | dd is cooler. :) since its so old skool it has funky syntax | 11:55 |
| zykotick9 | according to this mint page, you can use dd/cat/cp? i've certainly never tried to cp method. http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=47434 | 11:55 |

| zykotick9 | s/i/it/ | 11:56 |
| MonkeyDust | viktor mind: there's also the channel #backtrack-linux | 11:57 |
| Dr_willis | viktor, i tend to use dd, or some of the tools from the pendrivelinux site. or set up grub2 on a flash to boot the iso files. | 11:57 |
| geirha | zykotick9: Just tested it. Didn't make a dent. GNU cp probably has some safe guard in place there. | 11:58 |
| Dr_willis | you can even set up grub2 to boot an iso file from a hard drive partition for really really speedy installs. | 11:58 |
| worm | A serious problem happened to my friend's ubuntu... He was updating the distribution from 11.10 to 12.04, but because of some reason, his update failed. Any solution? | 11:59 |
| worm | Not failed. Just interrupted... | 11:59 |
| MonkeyDust | worm depends on how it failed, any errors? | 11:59 |
| worm | No error, just went out of battery/ | 12:00 |
| worm | Can the upgrade be continued? But he can't login now. | 12:01 |
| Dr_willis | eww. thats not a nice way to stop it. | 12:01 |
| worm | That was an accident. | 12:01 |
| worm | The AC cable was disconnected... | 12:01 |
| Dr_willis | safest thing to do - would be backup imporntant stuff. and reinstall. | 12:01 |
| worm | And that means every programs will be re-installed. That will be a disaster if the internet connection is not available. | 12:03 |
| Dr_willis | how was he upgradeing without the internet? | 12:03 |
| Dr_willis | Or are we misunderstanding somthing. | 12:03 |
| worm | He had fetched all of the packages, and then when he had seen the terminal appears, he disconnected the internet. | 12:04 |
| worm | And then he took his laptop to his dorm... | 12:04 |
| Dr_willis | carrying the laptop while the hard drive was updateing.. with the lid open.. up flights of steps.. ;) | 12:06 |
| worm | Not a good habit, but that happened when we need to go to our dorm. The installation even had finished installing the kernel. | 12:07 |
| Dr_willis | well at the least. he should prob. boot a live cd and fsck the filesystems to make sure they are all valid. then id suggest backing up stuff.. then trying to chroot in and attempt to restart the upgrade process. or try t get the system repaird and bootable. | 12:07 |
| Dr_willis | If hes Lucky it may just need a fsck. | 12:08 |
| Dr_willis | what does the laptop do now? boots to grub? then errors out? | 12:08 |
| worm | His hard drive is well, but some packages had not been installed. | 12:08 |
| worm | Now he can just load to the lightdm | 12:09 |
| worm | And can't login. | 12:09 |
| Dr_willis | try the console see if he can login there. | 12:09 |
| worm | He can use the console. | 12:09 |
| Dr_willis | well thats a good sign i guess. ;) | 12:10 |
| worm | But I had tried to apt-get install lightdm ubuntu-desktop | 12:10 |
| worm | And nothing happened. | 12:10 |
| Dr_willis | 'cant login' would seem to imply that unity and/or some of the desktop files may not be installed all the way. If lightdm is running.. its allready installed. | 12:10 |
| Dr_willis | id kill the lightdm service (sudo service lightdm stop) then try a simple 'startx' and look for error messages if the desktop fails. | 12:11 |
| worm | I am not sure if the incomplete upgrade can be continued... If I can continue doing the incompleted upgrade, the problems might be solved. | 12:12 |
| worm | Also there is an interesting fact: 2000+ packages are broken... | 12:12 |
| worm | And the solution is to remove a really huge amount of packages. | 12:13 |
| Dr_willis | well.. it may be faster to reinstall now... | 12:13 |
| Darael | I've got a system here, wanted to run KVM, but kvm-ok says the virtualisation extensions are available but disabled in BIOS. Problem is, the BIOS configurator doesn't have any such option. Can't find an updated BIOS, either. Any ideas? | 12:13 |
| Dr_willis | and you could spend several hrs tryign to fix that system that may still be broken. or spend an hr and reinstall and know you will have a good system, | 12:13 |
| worm | I thought so, but is there any way for me to re-pack those installed softwares back to deb packages? | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | the deb files are archived in /var/cache/apt/ i think | 12:14 |
| Necrosporus | There is advertising banner in software center. Is it a virus? | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | if you install from cd, you wont need them. well theres some updates I guess you may need. | 12:14 |
| worm | but for saving the disk space, I had ran "apt-get clean" | 12:15 |
| Darael | worm: Missing some context, but if you've changed anything and you want that in the new package there's dpkg-repack, otherwise see the cache in /var/cache/apt/archives. | 12:15 |

| AdvoWork | how can i manually install a gnome theme? | 12:33 |
| Darael | I've got a system here, wanted to run KVM, but kvm-ok says the virtualisation extensions are available but disabled in BIOS. vmx being under flags in /proc/cpuinfo, but "not supported" attempting to modprobe kvm_intel support this. Problem is, the BIOS configurator doesn't have any such option. Can't find an updated BIOS, either. Ideas? | 12:33 |
| ikonia | Darael: talk to the hardware vendor to get the bios issue resolved or for them to explain what the option in the bios is | 12:34 |
| Darael | AdvoWork: Put it in ~/.themes for your user, or /usr/share/themes (from memory) for system-wide availability. Don't recall how you activate it if it doesn't then show up in the Appearance dialog - you may have to install extra software. | 12:35 |
| gagan662 | goddard: http://pastebin.com/ESQdMb8q | 12:37 |
| compdoc | Daraelm there are often seperate places in the bios that have the options to enable/disable. However, on some low end mobos, there are no options | 12:38 |
| compdoc | Darael ^ | 12:39 |
| AdvoWork | Darael, i can't even copy the folder to /usr/share/themes/ it omits it, even with sudo? | 12:40 |
| Dr_willis | 'it omits it' -- whats it? | 12:40 |
| Dr_willis | safest to put themes in the users .themes dir | 12:40 |
| AdvoWork | Dr_willis, so just make .themes ? | 12:41 |
| Dr_willis | yes... | 12:41 |
| bhearsum | where does dns resolver information live these days? my /etc/resolv.conf is empty, /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d has 'head' and 'base, both of which are empty, /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf is empty, and /var/run/dnsmasq doesn't exist --- yet dns resolution works for the most part (except this one host, which i'm trying to debug) | 12:41 |
| === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider | ||
| compdoc | bhearsum, you can create a file named 'tail' in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/ | 12:42 |
| compdoc | theres another way too, but I dont remember | 12:42 |
| bhearsum | compdoc: just did that | 12:43 |
| compdoc | then you have to run resolvconf | 12:43 |
| gagan662 | goddard: hey you there? | 12:43 |
| bhearsum | sudo service restart resolvconf, or something else? | 12:43 |

| bhearsum | no worries | 12:44 |
| AdvoWork | Dr_willis, strange but, ive done mkdir /home/user/.themes and i copy a folder to that, but get no paste option. I tried chmod 777 .themes and same issue. Any ideas? | 12:44 |
| bhearsum | ok, i restarted the resolvconf service to no effect | 12:44 |
| bhearsum | if i run it by hand i get: | 12:44 |
| bhearsum | resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf isn't a symlink, not doing anything. | 12:44 |
| bhearsum | finally something googlable =) | 12:45 |
| andygraybeal_ | i'm mucking with 'setserial' and i'm getting 'inaproppriate ioctl for device' what would this mean? | 12:45 |
| jeremy1 | Advo are you using chmod -R 777? | 12:45 |
| Dr_willis | why would the fisrt thing you try be chmod 777? | 12:45 |
| Dr_willis | use the terminal. look at the permissions and ownership | 12:46 |
| AdvoWork | jeremy1, tried that too. Dr_willis i only have one user on the system though, file owner and group owner of .themes is that same user | 12:46 |
| Dr_willis | see if you can 'touch testfile' in that dir.. you may be having deeper issues | 12:46 |
| glitsj16 | bhearsum: there's also http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ you might check | 12:46 |

| syrinx_priest | Hi all. Currently on 10.04 and want to run the Upgrade to go to 12.04, but it doesn't show up in the Update Manager even though I have the LTS option selected. | 12:49 |
| AdvoWork | Dr_willis, i right click to go Create new file or folder, both greyed out | 12:49 |
| Dr_willis | and what file manager are you using? | 12:50 |
| syrinx_priest | Shouldn't it be available now? | 12:50 |
| MonkeyDust | syrinx_priest type !upgrade for instructions | 12:51 |
| Pici | syrinx_priest: 12.04 will only appear as an update from 10.04 once the .1 point release is out. | 12:51 |
| AdvoWork | Dr_willis, well its a fresh version of ubuntu 12.04 and i've selected GNOME on the login | 12:51 |
| syrinx_priest | Ohh, thx, was unaware of that. | 12:51 |
| Dr_willis | AdvoWork, you said you were using Cinimon earlier. its not got its own file manager? | 12:52 |
| syrinx_priest | Obligatory next question, when will the .1 release be out? | 12:52 |
| MonkeyDust | syrinx_priest 23 august | 12:52 |

| Turbolinux | Hello everyone. I am looking for a clinic program. Do you have a recommendation? Thank you for your help. | 12:53 |
| AdvoWork | Dr_willis, i was earlier this morning, sorry for the confusion. I'm now using GNOME, but am trying to install themes. I tried using the gnome-tweak-tool but it won't work and i cant get any fixes to work, so am trying to do it manually | 12:53 |
| ikonia | Turbolinux: clinic program ? | 12:53 |
| Turbolinux | For patient recording and bill printing. | 12:54 |
| Turbolinux | Do you have a recommendation? | 12:54 |
| Dr_willis | AdvoWork, well i wouldent be suprised if all these issues are due to stuff Cinimmon has done. Ive never used the thing. | 12:54 |
| Giant81 | just curious, has anyone ever run exchange 2010 admin tools on Ubuntu, maybe using wine? | 12:54 |
| Turbolinux | It will be used for orthodontics. | 12:55 |
| MonkeyDust | Turbolinux do you have something to compare it with, so we know what you mean? | 12:55 |
| andygraybeal_ | okay i got it i'm an idiot | 12:55 |

| jeremy1 | libdvdread4 I think | 12:56 |
| Dr_willis | maria_, vlc may be able to bypass the region code. or you could rip them to video. | 12:56 |

| maxmc | Hi. I'm running ubuntu 12.04 on my thinkpad x220 and since today my headphones don't play sound. as soon as I unplug them sound plays through the notebook speakers. This is independent of the sound source (browser, soundsettings-test, rhythmbox,...) any ideas how to fix this? | 12:57 |
| Dr_willis | maria_, theres 'dvd ripper' apps in the repos. assuming the dvds dont have some fancy copy protection they should work | 12:58 |
| UNG | Hello, is it worth upgrading ubuntu to version 12? Will it slow down my computer, or is it faster than the 11 version? | 12:58 |
| Turbolinux | Is there an orthodontist here? Do you use Ubuntu for clinic works? | 12:58 |
| maria_ | ok I will have a look, thank you for your help | 12:59 |
| AdvoWork | Dr_willis, i logged out/back in, and i think its working | 12:59 |
| zykotick9 | maria_: careful changing region codes on the dvd drive - it can only be done a couple of times, then the drive will lock out changes. ripping is probably best bet. | 12:59 |
| bhearsum | how do i list out my current nameservers? the resolvconf resolv.conf only lists 127.0.0.1, which i assume is dnsmasq, but i can't find a dnsmasq configuration or runtime file anywhere | 12:59 |
| maria_ | ok thanks for the advice | 12:59 |
| UNG | Is it worth upgrading ubuntu to version 12? Will it slow down my computer, or is it faster than the 11 version? | 13:00 |
| sipior | Turbolinux: that is…awfully specific. maybe try here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_healthcare_software | 13:00 |
| sipior | Turbolinux: or this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Dental | 13:00 |
| bhearsum | aha! i find /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf | 13:00 |
| Turbolinux | Sipior: Thank you for your help. I will look them. | 13:00 |
| UNG | Is it worth upgrading ubuntu to version 12? Will it slow down my computer, or is it faster than the 11 version? | 13:02 |
| sipior | UNG: performance should be comparable, in general. | 13:02 |
| MonkeyDust | UNG 12.04 will be supported longer, that makes it worth it | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | bhearsum, open /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head and list your nameservers there otherwise resolv.conf gets overwritten and dnsmasq can't read it | 13:02 |
| UNG | Ok, thanks for answers :). | 13:03 |
| bhearsum | BluesKaj: that file is empty, but apparenty /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf points at 127.0.0.1 | 13:04 |
| bhearsum | and i *finally* found the dnsmasq config in /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf | 13:04 |
| ofog | Hi, i have a command, that is built up from several bash variables . When it runs within the script the output is different from when i copy and paste the command (that i echo'ed from the script).. Anyone have any ideas why ? | 13:04 |
| compdoc | bhearsu, the command to update is: sudo resolvconf -u | 13:04 |
| Dr_willis | heh.. wonder if 'locate dnsmasq.conf' would have found it | 13:04 |

| dxdemetriou | I'm trying to use /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks in Ubuntu 12.04 but it does not work: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141653/preventing-users-from-changing-pinned-applications-in-the-launcher | 14:11 |
| daze | Anybody knows what ctrl+shift+x does in guake? I have it set up for KeepassX autotyping and it's not working for guake (toggles out of the terminal, as if alt+tab was pressed). Guake keyboard shortcuts do not have that combination set.. | 14:11 |

| Quartic | Hi, I'm having a weird graphics issue - sometimes it appears that some lines on my screen are shifted to the right by about 10-30 pixels. It affects my background, and the launcher, but not open windows. Any ideas? | 14:13 |
| telepusik | fred1: ok and if i changed my BIOS so he boots from usb first do i need to change it back ? | 14:13 |
| samba35 | yes on all options but i getting freqant gui crash | 14:14 |
| Gyges | Punch, what happens next? | 14:14 |
| BronzeEagle | Hello, I'm having issues with using dual monitors when I run xrandr --output DVI-0 --left-of DVI-1 it does what it's supposed to, but I can't use the mouse on DVI-1 | 14:14 |
| BronzeEagle | And when I tried arandr it did the same thing | 14:14 |
| uhausy | @reboot in crontab is prior to ifup/networking up, anywya to make it after ? | 14:14 |
| samba35 | glitsj16, is 2d and 3d use same hardware or 3d require better hardware | 14:14 |
| Punch | gyges: I logged onto IRC to ask for help :-D | 14:15 |
| Gyges | Punch, i mean does it reboot? | 14:15 |
| BronzeEagle | Usung xfcem and there is no sticky option under display | 14:15 |
| Punch | Gyges: Nope, just hangs | 14:15 |
| BronzeEagle | xfce* | 14:15 |
| Punch | Gyges: The screen is full of typical looking kernel loading messages. No kernel panic or anything like that | 14:15 |
| fred1 | telepusik: if you dont have a cd in the drive it wont matter# | 14:15 |
| Punch | Gyges: This happens whether I select the boot to ubuntu option or the install to hard driv e option. | 14:16 |
| rattatoue | I am on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04. Everything works good, except. When I plugin my Logitech webcam it shows up in LSUSB, however it crashes pulseaudio. Some programs I use for like listening to music. If the webcam is plugged in, they start skipping like crazy. This is only on ubuntu, no problem on other distros. How can I fix this? its really annoying | 14:17 |

| glitsj16 | samba35: if it states "Unity 3D supported' it should work on present hardware .. might be something else causing the issue .. have you checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors/warnings ? | 14:17 |

| wilee-nilee | neteffect, Ubuntu has a bootloader called grub it is grub 2 and it will boot ubuntu, if you install from windows a wubi instal the Windows bootloader will be the bootloader | 14:20 |

| wilee-nilee | Punch, there are a numerous problems that can happen tell us what your are and we can go from there. | 14:23 |
| wilee-nilee | yours | 14:23 |
| tren | maxmc tryed alsamixer in terminal ? | 14:23 |
| Punch | wilee-nilee: Hi Wilee-nilee, I'm not sure what else I can add. The boot process hangs about 4 seconds in with a screenful of regular looking kernel messages. The last line says system_call_fastpath | 14:23 |
| Gyges | wilee-nilee, ^in the livecd | 14:24 |
| wilee-nilee | maxmc, there is a speaker or headphone option in the right click of the sound icon. | 14:24 |
| Punch | wilee-nilee: This is from the installer which I copied to USB using the Universal USB Installer described on the ubuntu install pages. | 14:24 |
| omegax00 | no this doesn't help Abijit | 14:24 |
| maxmc | @tren, wilee-nilee: thanks, i ll check your suggestions | 14:25 |
| wilee-nilee | Punch, this an actual install already or booting a disc or usb. | 14:25 |
| Quartic | Ok, the problem I'm having: http://imagebin.org/219327 | 14:25 |
| omegax00 | As I said I have the mouse connected it just moves very slow and jittery | 14:25 |
| wilee-nilee | Punch, cool you answered while I was typing. | 14:25 |
| Punch | wilee-nilee: I'm attempting a fresh install using 12.04 amd64 media from a USB drive. | 14:25 |
| Punch | wilee-nilee: I'm downloading the alternate installer now to see if that helps for any reason. | 14:26 |

| wilee-nilee | Punch, you will probably get help here, you might try the nomodeset option. | 14:26 |
| wilee-nilee | !nomodeset | Punch | 14:26 |
| ubottu | Punch: 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 | 14:26 |
| Punch | wilee-nilee: sounds good, I will give it a try. | 14:27 |

| omegax00 | It works Perfect in Damn Small Linus but I don't want to use it its too limited for me | 14:28 |
| tren | this happend after kernel update | 14:28 |

| tren | Gyges: yes | 14:30 |
| AdvoWork | in unity, is there a way i can get a fixed menu at the top, like a quick launch? i know its on the left hand side, but would prefer it at the top too, or something? | 14:31 |
| BronzeEagle | Hello, I'm having issues with using dual monitors when I run xrandr --output DVI-0 --left-of DVI-1 it does what it's supposed to, but I can't use the mouse on DVI-1 | 14:31 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, so the cursor doesn't appear? | 14:32 |
| tren | Gyges: Building only for 3.2.6 Building for architecture i686 Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed. | 14:32 |
| Gyges | i once set two monitors 1 inch apart in the config, and i have to hit the middle border with the mouse , to pass through!!! | 14:32 |
| SkippersBoss | AdvoWork, I thought the whole point of unity was to ditch thismode of operation and use the super key instead | 14:33 |
| BronzeEagle | escott: the cursor appears but it stops at the edge of DVI-0 and won't go to DVI-1 | 14:33 |
| Gyges | i had to collide with it in speed | 14:33 |
| Quartic | Gyges, here's that file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1073163/ | 14:33 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, so how do you know its actually left of DVI-1 | 14:33 |
| === Otacon22_ is now known as Otacon22 | ||
| === hybrid_ is now known as hybrid | ||
| escott | BronzeEagle, i would try and drag a window to the other display and see if you can drag that window around | 14:34 |
| Punch | wilee-nilee: Adding nomodeset did the trick. Thank you very much! | 14:34 |
| BronzeEagle | escott: because I can drag windows to DVI-1 | 14:34 |
| Joshua_MG | hi all. | 14:34 |
| BronzeEagle | Just it stops at the mouse | 14:34 |
| Gyges | tren, isn't there a kernel-source package? | 14:34 |
| Joshua_MG | How can I change my sound to Mono instead of Stereo? | 14:34 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, so the window extents partway across but you cant move it further, or can you drag all the way onto the other display, but there is no cursor | 14:35 |
| BronzeEagle | escott: the former | 14:35 |
| tren | Gyges: now u got me ... i really dont know, im not that good with linux only recently started using it | 14:36 |
| bestdnd | i have a problem of overheating, sensors command gives me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1073154/ what can i do? underclock? set the fan to run faster? how do i do it? | 14:37 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, what graphics card? | 14:37 |
| Gyges | it's ok , | 14:38 |
| Gyges | how can i install the source of a kernel? | 14:38 |
| Gyges | Quartic, could it have to do with the Expo plugin of Compiz,? can you try disabling it ? | 14:38 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, and are you using panning and scaling at all | 14:38 |
| telepusik | sorry guys, how can i create a new NTFS file system without using liveusb/cs/dvd? | 14:38 |
| Gyges | telepusik, do you have linux installed? | 14:39 |
| BronzeEagle | escott: 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon X1650 Pro (Secondary) (rev 9e) | 14:39 |
| telepusik | Gyges: yes | 14:39 |
| AdvoWork | ive just accidentally disabled unity lol, any idea how I can get it back, i cant get any menus or anything? this was in compiz doh | 14:39 |
| Gyges | telepusik, then gparted is a partition manager | 14:40 |
| Quartic | Gyges, apparently Expo is required by the "Ubuntu Unity Plugin" | 14:40 |
| Gyges | oohh | 14:40 |
| telepusik | Gyges: well i want to install win7 on my ubuntu, and when im trying to install gparted it shows me some error | 14:41 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, fglrx or radeonhd? and what does xrandr say | 14:41 |
| vexus | telepusik: what is your system? | 14:41 |
| fred1 | telepusik: if you do that all you will have is windows 7 no linux | 14:42 |
| Gyges | telepusik, the only way i know in order to install win on linux is through virtualization, do you know what that is ? | 14:42 |
| vexus | Gyges: no you can manipulate the windowsbootloader to start grub with easybcd was the only way for my on my s205 for over a year | 14:43 |
| bestdnd | i think he mean dual boot | 14:43 |
| maxmc | tren: i dont know what to do with alsamixer. , wilee-nilee: i right-clicked every sound icon, but couldn't find any headphones options. | 14:43 |
| Gyges | vexus, thnx for the info | 14:43 |
| BronzeEagle | escott: http://pastebin.com/gJ7FKqqZ | 14:43 |
| telepusik | Gyges: something like virtual box? | 14:43 |
| telepusik | vexus: linux 10.04 | 14:44 |
| telepusik | vexus: 64bit | 14:44 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, and its not stuck in the dead space | 14:44 |
| Gyges | i suppose, i heard people talking about it | 14:44 |
| vexus | telepusik: and the hardware the interesting thing is do you have efi or bios | 14:44 |
| WhitePelican | assuming one has the proper working equipment, is there software available to play blu-ray discs on a linux box? | 14:44 |
| vexus | and do you like win7 64 bit oder 32 bit | 14:44 |
| BronzeEagle | escott: dead space? | 14:45 |
| AdvoWork | in my old version of ubuntu i had multiple desks. is this possible with unity/12.04? | 14:45 |
| philinux | AdvoWork: yes | 14:45 |
| telepusik | fred1: can i make double OS as i have on my pc winXP and 7 and when its booting i just select what i need | 14:45 |
| telepusik | vexus: bios | 14:45 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, DVI-1 starts at +1280+0 but is only 1024 rows, so there are 176 dead pixels (below?) it | 14:46 |
| bestdnd | <telepusik> yes, it;s called dual boot | 14:46 |
| philinux | AdvoWork: use compiz config settings manager or myunity | 14:46 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, where 176=1280-1024 | 14:46 |
| escott | rather 256 | 14:46 |
| fred1 | telepusik: if you install windows 7 first then Ubuntu you will have a dual boot system you choose which one to run at boot | 14:46 |
| philinux | AdvoWork: 12.04 has 4 by default | 14:46 |
| BronzeEagle | I see | 14:47 |
| vexus | telepusik: ok then there should be no problem (the way i would prefer is install both completly new) safe your data then boot windows installer make a partion (100 GB or so) and install ist then follows ubuntu 12.04 | 14:47 |
| mojalefa | how do i get oracle 10g working ubuntu? | 14:47 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, so try to move it in the middle of the screen. if its not that. it could be https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/570151 | 14:47 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 570151 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "mouse stuck jumping between screens" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 14:47 |
| AdvoWork | philinux, ahh so i have to enable it, whats it calle? | 14:47 |
| vexus | telepusik: but that ereases all data on your hard disk | 14:47 |
| philinux | AdvoWork: no you get 4 on the launcher - the icon for the switcher is at the bottom | 14:48 |
| philinux | AdvoWork: you only need to fiddle if you want more than 4 | 14:48 |
| fred1 | telepusik: http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony | 14:49 |
| telepusik | vexus: i have no data on ubuntu i just installed it | 14:50 |
| vexus | telepusik: another way without killing all data would be to make a partion with gpartet or partet or something else in linux then install windows 7 and there you have to install easybcd and make a boot entry for your ubuntu then you can boot both | 14:50 |
| BronzeEagle | escott: Nothing | 14:50 |
| bestdnd | i have a problem of overheating, sensors command gives me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1073154/ what can i do? underclock? set the fan to run faster? how do i do it? | 14:51 |
| philinux | telepusik: how often are you going to boot into windows rather than ubuntu | 14:51 |
| telepusik | vexus: as i said i cant install gparted it shows some error, can u tell me more about partition when i'll be installing win7 | 14:51 |
| telepusik | philinux: more often in win7 | 14:52 |

| === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax | ||
| telepusik | the only problem is that i have no cd or dvd only USB, and when im trying to install 12.04 version of ubuntu it doesnt boots showing "SYSLINUX EBIOS and so on" | 14:53 |
| vexus | telepusik: maybe your md-dos table is corrupted by an error and gpartet does not get it windows is better in ignoring errors and bugs from partiontables if you boot in the installation you should use advandced mode and then delete every partion | 14:54 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, you could see if its an issue with GLX. usually that would appear as an "I drag the window on to the other screen and it disappears" but it could be this | 14:54 |
| telepusik | vexus: last time i tried to install win7 on ubuntu it said i have no NTFS file system | 14:55 |
| telepusik | vexus: do i need to try again and delete all the partitions that would help? | 14:55 |
| Gyges | telepusik, just saying, there should be an option delete unknown partition or something like that... | 14:55 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, when they are stacked the total dimension is 1280x(1024+768) < (1024+1280)*1024 so if the graphics card can't handle the larger dimension in GLX it might handle the smaller | 14:56 |
| vexus | telepusik: afterthat make a new partion with the space you like to have for windows then choose it to install windows for linux you need 15-30 GB for /root maybe 100 mb for /boot (i like it to bee first partion) and 5-x for /home | 14:56 |
| telepusik | Gyges: yeah it was when i was trying to install win7 but i didnt used it cuz some guy said it doesn't works well | 14:57 |
| vexus | telepusik: windows does not like to have other partions beside itself so it is better to delete everything | 14:57 |
| telepusik | vexus: so u saying it would be better to fully delete ubuntu then install win7 and on win7 to install ubuntu again? | 14:58 |
| escott | telepusik, that shouldnt be necessary. if you create the free space for windows you should be able to use that | 14:58 |
| vexus | telepusik: then make only one ntfs partion with the windows installer with fixed size (maybe leave the first 100 mb for linux /boot) | 14:58 |
| vexus | telepusik: yeap it is the normal way | 14:58 |
| fred1 | telepusik:f your bios is an older type it wont boot from usb you are trying to install the hard way | 14:58 |
| telepusik | vexus: so how many partitions should i have? | 14:59 |
| BronzeEagle | escott: when I set DVI-0 to 1024x768 I can put my cursor on DVI-1 but it only goes as far as 1/4 of the screen and stops and won't go any further | 14:59 |
| vexus | telepusik: if you install windows only one with ntfs | 14:59 |
| daze | where is the proxy configuration stored in ubuntu? | 14:59 |
| vexus | telepusik: but it should be smaller then your hard disk | 14:59 |
| telepusik | fred1: actually my bios is booting usb flash but only ubuntu 10.04 installation, it didnt booted 12.04 versions | 15:00 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, sounds like some limitation in the graphics driver, very possible GLX based. you are just hitting a limit on screen size. try unity-2d | 15:00 |
| telepusik | vexus: ok will try | 15:00 |
| escott | BronzeEagle, also (1280-1024)/1024=1/4 ie 1/4 of the screen on the top is a box which is 1280x1280 | 15:01 |
| telepusik | vexus: one last question, if i'll delete all the partitions and something would go wrong how can i fix problems or there should be no problems? just asking before deleting :) | 15:07 |
| AdvoWork | philinux, i see no icon? sorry for the hassle | 15:09 |

| ikonia | omegax00: you shouldn't need any, they are fully supported devices in xorg and native in the kernel event drivers | 15:39 |
| LjL | omegax00: seems pretty unlikely Microsoft would provide Linux drivers for their products, anyway, if you ask me | 15:39 |

| TorpedoSkyline | Hi all. I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.6 and I want to switch to Ubuntu 12.04 as my primary OS. However, I'm going to keep OS X on another partition for when I need to sync some of my iOS devices (iPad 3 and iPod 4, which aren't compatible with libimobiledevice). I have a 1.5TB external hard drive that I need to be able to read and write to from both Mac and Ubuntu, so I'm wondering what filesystem to use. I'd rather not use FAT32 because of th | 15:40 |
| TorpedoSkyline | limitations. What would you guys suggest? | 15:40 |
| ikonia | dury: what's the issue ? | 15:40 |
| omegax00 | is there a way I can get access to there mouse driver? | 15:40 |
| ikonia | NewLappy: ask away, lets see what we can do | 15:40 |
| ikonia | omegax00: there is no need for a mouse driver | 15:40 |
| aristidesfl | Partition table entries are not in disk order <- is this important? | 15:41 |
| ikonia | omegax00: and to be hoenst, what XMBCUbuntu changes, I don't know, I'd suggest talking to their support resources | 15:41 |
| schnuffle2 | TorpedoSkyline: Shrink your MAC partition MacOSX has to tools for that and then install Ubuntu beside | 15:41 |
| dury | ikonia: top panel and left disappeared | 15:41 |
| philinux | AdvoWork: see man apt-get | 15:41 |
| ikonia | dury: unity display stuff, I'm not really on top of to be honest | 15:41 |
| omegax00 | it doesn't work with the normal Ubuntu either same issue | 15:41 |
| vexus | NewLappy: what are your problems i am using an uefi system since one year maybe i can help you | 15:41 |
| ikonia | dury: although someone else was having that exact same problem two days ago | 15:41 |
| omegax00 | the Mouse moves extremly slow | 15:41 |
| ikonia | omegax00: it does work with the official ubuntu release. | 15:42 |
| TorpedoSkyline | schnuffle2, yes but I need read/write support on the external HD. What filesystem should I use for the external hard disk so I can read and write to it from both OSs? | 15:42 |
| omegax00 | keyboard works fine | 15:42 |
| NewLappy | excellent, maybe between ikonia and vexus I can get a handle on this | 15:42 |
| ikonia | NewLappy: well, we can but try | 15:42 |
| optraz | i know .rpm and .deb is valid linux distribution package management syste, but what about .pkg or .ebuild? | 15:43 |
| recon69_lap | AdvoWork : cant really say, use man apt-get , the flag is probably -simulate , but the rpm -qa command, not sure what it does | 15:43 |
| omegax00 | no it doesn't please don't call me a liar... I have tested this already and Ubuntu will not allow me to use my mouse correctly it installs a driver but its not working right for this mouse | 15:43 |
| schnuffle2 | TorpedoSkyline: As far as I know osx uses hfs+ which should be at least readable under ubuntu | 15:43 |
| ikonia | omegax00: ubuntu does NOT install a driver for your mouse | 15:43 |
| omegax00 | ok whatever | 15:43 |
| dury | ikonia: is there any source to solve it instead of installing again? | 15:43 |
| omegax00 | I need a driver than | 15:43 |
| TorpedoSkyline | schnuffle2, I know but I need writable lol. =P Would HFS without journaling work? | 15:44 |
| AdvoWork | how come if i run wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/program files/adobe/whatever.exe in the terminal, it works fine, but if i make a launcher as an application it won't. If i do a launcher but use terminal it works again but then has a spare terminal which I dont need? | 15:44 |
| omegax00 | the default software ubuntu uses is not working with my mouse | 15:44 |
| vexus | NewLappy, ikonia: the first prblem with uefi is that only one linux distro supports it nativly (Open Suse 12.1) and there are formating errors with gpt in windows and linux so it can be a hard way if you realy want to make a native uefi install | 15:44 |
| NewLappy | Well, as is my general practice when I get a new machine, I was going to start with a fresh install and dual boot Ubuntu, when I hit esc to get to bios options to take a look around they had a url in there for more info along with options for diagnostic tools and looking around I'm pretty sure this machine is using UEFI. this is the first machine I've ever used that didn't have standard bios. Am I correct in the UEFI is just the 'SYSTEM | 15:44 |
| NewLappy | ' partition at the beginning of the disk? | 15:44 |
| ikonia | dury: I'd have to investigate the problem properly | 15:44 |
| ikonia | dury: to be honest, without understanding the issue, I can't say with confidence. | 15:44 |
| NewLappy | vexus, what would be the other option if not a 'native' uefi install? | 15:45 |
| schnuffle2 | TorpedoSkyline: Apparently it works readwrite as well. sometimes disks are readonly because they where not unmounted correctly a fsck.hfsplus /dev/yourdisk you correct that | 15:45 |
| dury | ikonia: I got the 12.04 lts cd... maybe booting that could do something | 15:45 |
| schnuffle2 | s/you/should/ | 15:46 |
| omegax00 | very simple question and the answer obviously is not here you keep running around in circles like support rep common man I already told you the problem is actually quite simple to fix I just need to find out what mouse software Damn Small Linux uses they seem to have chosen a better option for a mouse support whatever you want to call it I call it a Drvier you call it whatever you want all I am saying is that the current software that | 15:46 |
| omegax00 | my mouse! | 15:46 |
| ikonia | dury: that won't change your system config | 15:46 |
| dury | ikonia: well after booting and do something else I mean | 15:46 |
| ikonia | dury: if you boot the livecd and do "something" it may fix it sure. | 15:46 |
| vexus | if you wait a second on the windowsdisc ask to boot from hdd or cd the font changes that is the moment when uefi is aktivating bios emulationmode so you could use normal grub or something like that | 15:46 |
| sirriffsalot | I'm looking at a tutorial with someone using xsynth dizzy.. or so he claims.. What is that program actually called? The graphical user interface that is | 15:47 |
| TorpedoSkyline | schnuffle2, is that new in 12.04? Because I always remember having to install packages like hfsprogs | 15:47 |
| schnuffle2 | TorpedoSkyline: of course you need the hfsplus progs :) | 15:47 |
| TorpedoSkyline | lol =P | 15:47 |
| dury | ikonia: what to do after booting livecd, in your opinion? | 15:48 |
| vexus | NewLappy: if you only like to install ubuntu with any other os it is easy with 11.10 i had the problem that grub2 boots in circle with it self so i used grub-legacy but with 12.04 it works fine on my Lenovo Ideapad S205 | 15:48 |
| TorpedoSkyline | schnuffle2, so I just sudo apt-get install hfsprogs and then it should work as a plug and play drive like in OS X? | 15:48 |
| ikonia | dury: I don't know without researching it | 15:48 |
| NewLappy | vexus, I haven't tried booting from a Windows disk yet....I booted once into G4L to make a backup incase I screw something up and then again into 12.04 CD (well, i've booted the Ubuntu cd twice)....and I don't see a /sys/firmware/efi directrory | 15:49 |
| TorpedoSkyline | schnuffle2, I just need something that I can get up and running quickly so everything works in my work environment. | 15:49 |
| ikonia | dury: I wouldn't like to guess without getting an idea of what the issue was | 15:49 |
| schnuffle2 | TorpedoSkyline: I think so but haven't tried it | 15:49 |
| NewLappy | vexus, I guess my confusion comes from that I had originally planned to completely wipe and repartition the hard drive and then start installing fresh | 15:49 |
| NewLappy | can i still do that or what do I have to do different than I did in past | 15:50 |
| aristidesfl | how to list users in group? | 15:50 |
| TorpedoSkyline | schnuffle2, ok. I have it partitioned as exFAT right now and I remember that it was only read only, so… Well, I guess I'll give HFS+ a shot. Thanks! | 15:50 |
| vexus | NewLappy: i know that is a problem on ubuntu i used the 64+mac image to boot and it is not able to install normal efi with gpt and efipartion if you like to have that give suse a try or you have to do it with terminal and hands | 15:50 |
| dury | ikonia: all right, what would you do then? | 15:50 |
| schnuffle2 | TorpedoSkyline: Good luck | 15:51 |
| omegax00 | still no answers here | 15:51 |
| omegax00 | :( | 15:51 |
| TorpedoSkyline | schnuffle2, thanks. I might need it. =P | 15:51 |
| omegax00 | The new XBMCBuntu is Built on Ubuntu 12.04 Thought you guys would be able to fix this issue | 15:52 |
| vexus | NewLappy: now that is not confusing the efi support is realy bad at this moment maybe i try to make a working iso in the summer for ubuntu when i got the time and work done | 15:52 |
| schnuffle2 | TorpedoSkyline: Can't you try if it works with a formatted USB stick? | 15:52 |
| TorpedoSkyline | schnuffle2, I probably will but I haven't downloaded Ubuntu yet. I'm on a low-bandwidth connection so I'm going to have to go to the library to download it. XD | 15:53 |

| ikonia | vexus: I don't work for canonical | 15:56 |

| vexus | ikonia: do you know someone who works on ubuntu iso and bootloader stuff | 15:57 |
| sparky_ | err.... i'm very very new to Ubuntu, so I don't really know x.x | 15:57 |
| NewLappy | vexus, how would I go about setting up similar to what I have done before, but possibly using uefi -- I had multiple partitions: the MBR of the drive pointed to my 'grub/boot partition' the menu.lst for that partition simply had chainloader to hand-off to other partitions. When installing an OS, install bootloader to the partition and not the MBR....then, I had a partition for Windows, a partition for Ubuntu, another Ubuntu install on a | 15:57 |
| NewLappy | different partition, and a couple of other partitions for experimenting and installing different OSs as well as a big data partition for storing stuff.....I also am able to boot an iso off of the data partition (although for that I have to chainload through a chainloaded grub2 bootloader (like the one on my main Ubuntu partition) | 15:57 |

| sparky_ | recon69_lap, is there a command I can type in the normal terminal that will start to run the server? The server is basically just this:#!/bin/sh | 15:59 |

| taixzo | NewLappy: I'm stuck there, it insists on booting into Windows | 16:01 |
| recon69_lap | sparky_: just execute the correct server program from the command line, the cursor should stop working and the server will run in that terminal window till you stop it or close the window | 16:02 |
| sparky_ | Ok i'll try | 16:02 |
| recon69_lap | sparky_: server programs do not have a GUI, so you see nothing | 16:02 |
| sparky_ | I *think* I know what you mean | 16:02 |

| sparky_ | recon69_lap, search "How to make a assaultcube server" And look what the server looks like, its windows but it still looks the same | 16:03 |
| recon69_lap | sparky_: so whats the result with you run the server program in a terminal window, it should say something, like "Loading Server Vx.xx" or "error" | 16:04 |
| vexus | NewLappy taixzo : yeah normaly with bios you use ms-dos table und mbr and so on, with efi in multiboot you have to use gpt tables and the first partion have to be an 100-300 mb fat32 partion with the 0xEF flag there every bootable system have to place a part of the bootloader to handle it to the right partion from the os you like to start that is the base, but the problem at this moment is that only opensuse 12.1 is able to make this realy how | 16:04 |

| noxcode | Arch there is alway the TBB. Dont need to install it. Can even put it on a USB. | 16:27 |
| Arch_ | Then, what should i do with it? | 16:27 |
| noxcode | Just put it on your desktop and click on it. Will open up its own browser and you can surf etc. | 16:28 |

| noxcode | Arch can go into #tor-dev and ask them. rrandom, ioerror and others are quite active devs. There are is also I2P. If you want to go into the Silk Road you will need TOR | 16:30 |

| === MartinS is now known as Guest81686 | ||
| rhel | I've never used Unity before, and I doubt if, for my system, 2D is better than 2D | 16:31 |
| rhel | *2D is better than 3 | 16:31 |
| rhel | D | 16:31 |
| ikonia | rhel: better in what terms | 16:32 |
| rhel | so, I have a Nvidia 9300M GS, is this a good card for 3D? | 16:32 |
| ikonia | rhel: if you've got a supported 3d accelerated card, you should be able to use 3D without issue | 16:32 |
| noxcode | rhel if you dont like 2D or Unity and HATE Gnome3 there is always this www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WnaZL3ARN0 | 16:32 |
| rhel | I use 3D "well", but sometimes, when I open the dash, it's slower than if i don't open the dash | 16:32 |
| === root is now known as Guest21400 | ||
| rhel | no noxcode, thanks, but i love Unity, just that I don't know if 2D is better than 3D for me | 16:33 |
| rhel | and I think that in 12.10, Canonical won't support Unity 2D | 16:33 |
| ikonia | noxcode: please think about what you are suggesting, there is no need for any of that, the xubuntu-desktop package and xfce-desktop package will install xfce without the need for anything in that video | 16:33 |
| noxcode | ikonia can xubuntu do all that stuff in that video too? Maybe Ill install it then. | 16:34 |
| rhel | noxcode, i have also installed Xubuntu, customized as GNOME 2, and it's so cute | 16:35 |
| rhel | but I preffer Unity :-) | 16:35 |
| ikonia | noxcode: yes, | 16:36 |
| recon69_lap | telepusik: you can use "md5sum <nameofISOfile>" and check that it downloaded correctly by comparing it to the md5 value on the download page | 16:36 |
| rhel | but I think that in my PC it's a litte buggy | 16:36 |
| noxcode | ikonia cool might give it a try. | 16:36 |
| jiffe98 | anyone know how I get mysql-proxy to create mysqld.sock files that are world accessible ? | 16:36 |
| rhel | noxcode, I didn't saw this video, but my XFCE is = that GNOME 2 | 16:36 |
| jiffe98 | I can connect if I am root but no one else | 16:36 |
| jiffe98 | it seems to create 'srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jul 3 10:30 mysqld.sock' | 16:37 |
| noxcode | rhel yeah he seems to make a point of not using Gnome at all but it looks like the old Gnome2 with a bunch of really cool eye candy. | 16:37 |
| jiffe98 | looking at another server running mysql-proxy I see 'srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2012-06-25 11:29 mysqld.sock' but I'm not seeing any configuration differences | 16:37 |
| strk | The following packages have unmet dependencies: libboost-python1.42-dev : Depends: python-dev but it is not going to be installed | 16:38 |
| rhel | noxcode, i don't like the default XFCE in Xubuntu 12.04, but it's fully custumizable ^^ | 16:38 |
| strk | python-dev : Depends: python (= 2.6.6-2ubuntu1) but 2.6.6-2ubuntu2 is to be installed | 16:38 |
| peggys_mouse | when you run a live version of Ubuntu, where does it create it's file system? in RAM? | 16:40 |
| rhel | peggys_mouse, I supuse it so | 16:40 |
| rhel | it copies the DVD/CD data to RAM, and runs it from the RAM (I think) | 16:41 |
| peggys_mouse | rhel: so editing any of the files, ie at /etc should make no difference when you reboot? | 16:41 |
| jrdnn | peggys_mouse: Correct | 16:42 |
| genii-around | peggys_mouse: Yes, exactly. | 16:42 |

| peggys_mouse | i had an upgrade fail part way through yesterday. i was told to boot to a live disk and continue the upgrade from there. i did but didn't realize i needed to chroot. i edited /etc/apt/sourses.list and ran apt-get update/upgrade. from what everyone is saying, this should have no effect but i can't even boot off the USB now. | 16:45 |
| recon69_lap | dury: do you know what a terminal is, can you open one and use it? | 16:45 |
| dury | recon69_lap: of course I know what the terminal is.... but you don't know my problem | 16:46 |
| tx_pelli | I no longer have access to OSX to disable journaling | 16:47 |
| recon69_lap | dury: true, but "how can I lanch terminal.... I only have the cube feature" made me wonder | 16:47 |
| IdleOne | recon69_lap: if ikonia said he needs to research it is safe to assume the issue is more complex then simply opening a terminal | 16:47 |
| tx_pelli | but don't want to format the drive, just be able to add to it. | 16:48 |

| IdleOne | kyle__: that is off topic for this channel, you may want to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss | 17:37 |
| tx_pelli | SkippersBoss: thanks but the drive is already mounted, just can't write to it. | 17:37 |
| kyle__ | klmlkdd: Not all cards' drivers support making an AP. Could be your issue. Look it up | 17:37 |
| klmlkdd | my cad support's it | 17:38 |
| kyle__ | IdleOne: True. Sorry. Just jazzed about getting it :) | 17:38 |
| klmlkdd | it support Ad-hoc | 17:38 |
| kyle__ | klmlkdd: Driver needs to, not card. Technically _all_ 802.11 cards support being an AP, it's a matter of if the driver supports it. | 17:38 |
| recon69_lap | heoa: you probably better off doing a manual install of your preferred version then. | 17:38 |
| SkippersBoss | tx_pelli, you have to alter the mount.. command in fstab to you as user has write access :-) | 17:38 |

| glitsj16 | Benkinooby: have you tried epdfview yet? always had the impression that was more responsive than evince (but that's just an .. impression) | 17:39 |
| heoa | recon69_lap: how? I have tried "$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb" but I get all the time errs | 17:39 |
| kyle__ | klmlkdd: You're sure you're not using the NDIS driver right? | 17:40 |
| klmlkdd | kyle__: sure | 17:40 |
| kyle__ | klmlkdd: I actually had a _hell_ of a lot of problems when I used the ath9 driver, but some of them were due to HP not admitting the one on my laptop had fried itself. | 17:40 |
| kyle__ | klmlkdd: So IIRC, you don't set it to ad-hoc to create an AP, you set it to master mode. Last time I did this it was with iwconfig, but the theory should be the same. | 17:41 |
| klmlkdd | I tried Adhoc mode and works fine | 17:42 |
| Benkinooby | glitsj16, i am in the evince channel on irc.gnome.org right now and having a discussion about evince's performance. it seems that the underlying library, called poppler is the responsible for performance. since most of the pdf viewser use poppler the differences in performance will only be marginal. i tried adobe pdf read wich performs a lot better. right now i am informing my self a bit about poppler and stuff on the evince channel. thank | 17:42 |

| zein | What's the easiest way to get my ubuntu 12.04 laptop to display on an external HD monitor? I was confused by the fact that it didn't work as plug and play. | 17:46 |
| kyle__ | klmlkdd: by device, you mean the one you're running as an AP, or the one you're connecting to the AP? | 17:46 |
| klmlkdd | the one i'm connecting to the ap | 17:46 |
| i7c | deper29: sounds like you have to select the right port in pulseaudio. install the package pavucontrol to do so | 17:47 |
| klmlkdd | maybe because dhcp | 17:47 |
| kyle__ | klmlkdd: And are you running dnsmasq or isc-dhcp-server on the system you're running as an AP? It's kindof necessary if you want it to assing IP addresses. | 17:47 |
| * kyle__ nods | 17:47 | |
| klmlkdd | kyle__: no :( | 17:48 |
| deper29 | i7c, okay, I just installed that and opened it. Not sure what to do in there though. It looks very similar to my sound preferences. | 17:48 |

| kyle__ | klmlkdd: You should be able to manually assign an adress in the same range on the client, with the AP as the gateway, to test. dhcp-servers are pretty simple to setup, but there can be pitfalls. If you set one up, make sure it's listenning on all network interfaces, or on the right one. | 17:49 |
| === Geek is now known as Guest29895 | ||
| pim_ | I found how to do it: create a custom shortcut and make it run gnome-screensaver-command -l then bind this shortcut to e.g ctrl+L | 17:49 |
| i7c | deper29: check the tab "output devices". you might select the _port_ of your output device | 17:49 |
| heoa | recon69_lap: and no install instructions, I supposed it would work just with `$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb` but no. | 17:50 |
| Guest29895 | it was plug and play 4 me | 17:50 |
| kyle__ | klmlkdd: ISC-dhcp-server (the standard one), will only accept requests on the network-interface who's ip matches the range it's serving, so set it to listen on all interfaces is usually safe. | 17:50 |
| qwebirc98873 | please tell me best encrypted software for ubuntu | 17:50 |
| Benkinooby | glitsj16, xpdf is considerably faster but if i understand correctly, poppler is an offspring of the xpdf code which is deployed by xpdf... | 17:51 |
| MonkeyDust | qwebirc98873 define "best" | 17:51 |
| deper29 | i7c, in there I see internal audio(which is what I think I want, but that doesn't seem to work), my PCI sound card, and my USB speakers. If it's any help, if I'm in Windows 7 I have to choose realtek speakers to get the sound working on the headphoens | 17:51 |
| MonkeyDust | qwebirc98873 "best" depends on how skilled you are and what you want to achieve | 17:51 |
| klmlkdd | kyle__: how can i chec if isc-dhcp-server are properly configured ? | 17:52 |
| i7c | deper29: mhm i guess you selected 'headphones' as port for internal audio then? if so check the tab "playback". if some software is playing sound you can see it there and select the output device for each software | 17:53 |
| qwebirc98873 | :monkeydust:1)easy of use 2)good features 3)program should be secure and effective | 17:53 |
| kyle__ | klmlkdd: The easiest way is to start it in one window (service isc-dhcp-server), and watch /var/log/syslog for it's messages in another (tail -f /var/log/syslog|grep -i dhcp). | 17:53 |

| kyle__ | Um. | 18:17 |
| bob__ | how is empathy supposed to work. ? Mine does nothing | 18:18 |
| kyle__ | klmlkdd: Did you do a service isc-dhcp-server restart or just start? Make sure it's stopped, then start again. THis is odd. | 18:18 |
| glitsj16 | Miguelito: i actually have hacked a script to be able to keep the 'blue face' effect .. very nice for some late-nite flipping | 18:18 |
| klmlkdd | kyle__: it's stopped | 18:19 |
| klmlkdd | kyle__: i have no dhcp3-server package installed | 18:20 |
| kyle__ | klmlkdd: ubuntu renamed it isc-dhcp-server | 18:20 |
| klmlkdd | kyle__: ah ok | 18:20 |
| Miguelito | glitsj16, i think i will try that ppa patch - is that what you did | 18:20 |
| revol0xf | bob__ , how to you connect to a network, is it something other than NetworkManager. | 18:20 |
| glitsj16 | Miguelito: easiest fix if you're on ubuntu 12.04 or 11.10 yes, i have that active one one machine | 18:21 |
| Miguelito | glitsj16, ok then bbs and will let you know how it went | 18:21 |

| Miguelito | glitsj16, hmmmm do i need to restart my browser? | 18:25 |
| torvald | Stark: Then there might be something wrong with the ISO. | 18:25 |
| torvald | dd wont work alone. | 18:25 |
| torvald | unetbootin should work. | 18:25 |
| Stark | torvald: I've tried multiple ISOs and I'm quite certain there's nothing wrong with this one. | 18:26 |
| ki4ro | M1nerals: Just took a look at that website the ubottu suggested and it doesn't look too promising | 18:26 |
| Stark | torvald: Even though I haven't tested this one, even confirmed working ISOs are refusing to let me make a boot disk. | 18:26 |
| Stark | torvald: What should I be using in addition to dd? | 18:26 |
| tiger | people someone help mee plzz | 18:26 |

| BluesKaj | Stark, I use gparted live cd , usb sticks have probs with it | 18:28 |
| Stark | Gyges: Including NTFS, FAT (whichever FAT the Disk Utility does by default), and no partition scheme at all | 18:28 |
| Gyges | Stark, FAT32 should work, but FAT16 is safe | 18:29 |
| tiger | i will get gui in ubuntu mini from that? | 18:29 |

| Stark | Gyges: As in, FAT16 will *definitely* work? | 18:29 |

| Stark | Gyges: And a lot of things don't recognize the UDF at all, just see it as empty, e.g. Windows and GParted | 18:30 |

| Gyges | the bios is the question ? | 18:30 |
| sirriffsalot | Anyone here with experience in phasex?:) | 18:30 |
| Gyges | i mean the bios only supports fat16 , ext2 and something else | 18:31 |

| revol0xf | well then the first thing that you need for a GUI is the X server | 18:34 |

| === gary_ is now known as game16 | ||
| Stark | So why won't dd work on its own? | 18:35 |
| revol0xf | later you can customize the GUI with your choice of window manager(like openbox) or desktop environment. | 18:36 |
| tiger | ok so i am installing ubuntu-desktop | 18:36 |

| calamari | hi. I have a friend on 10.04 lts, that wants to upgrade to 12.04 lts.. but the update manager is not showing that "new distro available" option at the top. Is a direct 10.04 -> 12.04 upgrade still an option? for example, if we just added the 12.04 repos to sources.list and apt-get update/upgrade, would that work? | 18:39 |
| anthology | ? | 18:39 |
| zykotick9 | calamari: onice 12.04.1 is released the update will be available | 18:40 |
| glitsj16 | tx_pelli: i guess for a similar reason why if you type 'bank put some more money in my account' it won't happen .. file permissions and filesystem support are separate worlds | 18:40 |
| xangua | calamari: you have to wait untill first revision 12.04.1 comes out; but if you want to upfgrade now use: gksu update-manager -d | 18:40 |
| EmilyS | Any suggestions for a no-pain webserver for plain ol' html? | 18:40 |

| codemonk1y | tiger: try startx | 18:42 |
| xangua | calamari: is juts: update-manager -d ; well having backups or home in a separate partion is always good idea so it's up to you | 18:42 |

| don-key | can anyone tell me how to troubleshoot a program i installed with crossover doesnt work | 18:45 |
| revol0xf | tiger, you need to install xorg, then a window manager OR a desktop environment like GNOME, KDE etc | 18:45 |
| tiger | i solve problem many..but having this terrible problem | 18:45 |

| zykotick9 | bekks: i'd guess ubuntu-desktop probably already includes lightdm. just a guess | 18:55 |

| tiger | just now finish ubuntu-desktop | 18:57 |
| tiger | if you can help me via teamviewer then i will be very help full | 18:57 |
| zykotick9 | bekks: i use startx to start my desktop often | 18:58 |
| tiger | gdm also doesnot solve problem | 19:00 |

| Stark | Deal is, it's freaking impossible to make a boot disk from an ISO in Ubuntu | 19:06 |
| genii-around | zykotick9: Yes, like xdm,gdm, etc. | 19:06 |
| Stark | It's failed in so many different ways, I'm starting to think it's actually probable that the whole world was built to trick me into thinking this should work when really it can't | 19:06 |
| Stark | Because clearly, creating a boot disk from a Windows 7 ISO is just not possible in this universe anymore | 19:07 |
| zykotick9 | genii-around: i use slim as a dm on my desktop, my netbook doesn't have one | 19:07 |

| calamari | got it working.. we had to do update-manager -d, without gksu | 19:09 |
| genii-around | zykotick9: I was more wondering something like... if you installed manually lightdm for instance as tiger did but have no desktop environment... does it pull one in as a dependency or just maybe dump you into something like twm | 19:09 |
| petale- | i`m a fresh user of a live cd whit oracle vm virtualbox | 19:09 |
| petale- | i need instrucion to how to remove filters and instaling apache server | 19:09 |

| BluesKaj | Stark, are you just looking to make a live-cd from an Ubuntu ISO image?..you keep talking about a boot disk | 19:10 |

| Stark | BluesKaj: It is certainly instalable from USB, as my previous installation was from USB | 19:14 |
| Carraway | is there a filesystem that I can put on an external hard drive that can be read by both linux/ubuntu AND os x | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | windows ? | 19:14 |

| deper29 | i7c, my internal soundcard from the motherboard is what's connected to the headphone jack | 19:19 |

| BluesKaj | exactly what i said Stark | 19:19 |
| i7c | i7c: try resetting your pulseaudio settings. for that you can open a terminal and do mv ~/.pulse ~/.pulse-backup this will make a backup of your settings. then do pulseaudio -k | 19:19 |
| genii-around | andreb: Tiger assumes you have partitioned it | 19:19 |
| zykotick9 | khismetix: whoami | 19:20 |

| khismetix | ubuntu | 19:20 |
| genii-around | andreb: Additionally that you want fat filesystem | 19:20 |
| Stark | BluesKaj: Because I'm having a problem in Ubuntu and would like to know how to fix it? I thought that was the whole point of this channel | 19:20 |

| zykotick9 | khismetix: the file is owned by ubuntu/ubuntu - root/sudo should be able to delete that easily. what are the permissions on the containing folder might be an issue? | 19:20 |

| deper29 | i7c, so pulseaudio -k will reset the settings? | 19:22 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest29895 what happens or doesnt happen when you try | 19:22 |
| * BluesKaj scrolls back | 19:22 | |
| zykotick9 | khismetix: the folder is root owned you need to use sudo to delete that subfile i'd guess | 19:22 |
| khismetix | is the fact that the parent /home/ubuntu dir is not group writeable | 19:22 |
| charsi_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2015576 | 19:22 |

| aaas | anyone have any good solution to run apt-get upgrade automatically? I'm just sick of all the update reminders, though I want to keep everything up to date. I hear running it with -y is bad, I was thinking just run it every morning with cron so I could just press 'y' and check for config file replacements if necessary but im not sure root can run a terminal from cron. any ideas? | 19:57 |
| Jordan_U | Priyantha: Most (all?) BIOSs number the drive you booted from as drive 0. | 19:57 |
| Priyantha | I am currently not running a Ubuntu desktop so I can't check for you sorry, currently running Debian | 19:57 |
| Arch | Priyantha: Yes i've it; i just dunno how to create. | 19:57 |
| Arch | when i put everything into it, and save; then click on it; it said: "Failed" | 19:58 |
| Priyantha | Jordan_U: I know Jordan_U, but kosher said "sdb1" and sdb is mostly the second drive ;) so not drive 0 but drive1 | 19:58 |
| gozon | i had install a program that has a problem and i found a patch on the internet but i dont know how to install the patch | 19:58 |
| Priyantha | Jordan_U: "sda" is mostly the first drive and so drive 0 | 19:58 |
| Priyantha | Arch: did you try that before or after installing the stuff ? | 19:59 |
| Jordan_U | Priyantha: How the BIOS numbers drives, and how Linux numbers drives, is often completely unrelated. | 19:59 |
| Arch | I've try that before lunching your code. | 19:59 |
| zykotick9 | doesn't the booted drive become sda be default these days? | 19:59 |

| Priyantha | CetniK: I don't know what a benchod is so I don't think so no ;) | 20:01 |
| zykotick9 | Jordan_U: that would explain why the install could be mbr installs properly to the hd with recent versions, and not older ones. sdX is a deprecated system IMO, using Labels or UUIDs is cleaner | 20:01 |
| gozon | aaas, i can give you the link of the issue and perhaps can help mefigure it out? | 20:01 |
| aaas | gozon i can try i haven't done it in a while | 20:02 |
| gozon | aaas, http://code.google.com/p/webcamstudio/issues/detail?id=75 | 20:02 |
| Jordan_U | zykotick9: Drive enumeration by the kernel happens before the root filesystem is found, and the kernel can never really know for sure what drive the bootloader was loaded from, or where the kernel itself was loaded from. Yes, UUIDs and labels are the only reliable way to go. | 20:02 |
| aaas | gozon one sec | 20:03 |
| gozon | aaas, sure..take your time | 20:03 |
| zykotick9 | Jordan_U: i can believe everything you are saying - but, recent ubuntu installers from USB don't suffer the same issue they used too (where you had to manually select the HD for grub to install to - or it would end up on the usb) so it does now seem to be able to know something? | 20:05 |

| gozon | aaas, i really appreciate it...no...i did apt-get after adding a ppa | 20:08 |
| Jordan_U_bak | zykotick9: Ubuntu's installer tries to install grub to what appears to be the "first" drive by default, this is because this drive will most likely be the one that the BIOS is configured to boot from. This is a decision which they have made consciously, and which I disagree with. When it is detected that you are installing Ubuntu to a USB device however they *do* do the sane thing and install grub's boot sector to the MBR of th | 20:08 |
| aaas | gozon ok if you look at the patch you see it say +++ /user/bin/webcamstudio | 20:09 |
| aaas | gozon im assuming you have that file, right? | 20:09 |
| Jordan_U_bak | zykotick9: In previous versions of Ubuntu they didn't treat USB drives differently, now they do. I personally wish that they would always default to installing grub's boot sector to the MBR of the drive containing Ubuntu, and there is no technical problem preventing them from doing so, they have just decided not to do things that way. | 20:10 |

| ZummiG777 | cmdrhenner: Oh, I know that, I've got a inetrfaces file with many entries that I don't want to ifup the way through. I wasn't sure if there was a way to basically say "bring up all interfaces in this file" | 20:13 |

| faryshta | How do I trick 12.04 to install a 12.10 package? | 20:13 |
| BluesKaj | ZummiG777, do you mean /etc/nrtwork/interfaces , it may not contain much if you're using network manager | 20:14 |
| Gyges | faryshta, add quantal repos in /etc/sources.list | 20:14 |
| papna | Of course...of course installing some Python packages would ask me about grub then ruin my kernel install. | 20:14 |
| papna | What else? | 20:14 |
| Gyges | faryshta, it's /etc/apt/sources.list | 20:14 |
| aaas | gozon ok so you have to go to that directory ---> cd /usr/bin | 20:14 |
| ZummiG777 | BluesKaj: I've got a series of static IPs in there that are controlled through centralized configuration management from a remote server. | 20:15 |
| gozon | aaas, and? | 20:15 |
| aaas | gozon you'll find more info here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1624005 | 20:15 |

| Jordan_U | zykotick9: You're welcome. | 20:16 |

| wilornel | I wanted to know, how to install a library? | 20:16 |
| wilornel | I have the files bmp.cpp and bmp.h | 20:16 |
| kosher | Jordan_U: Did you have a chance to look at the Boot Info Script? | 20:16 |
| aaas | gozon actually you might want to copy the patch file there, you'll probably need to use sudo | 20:16 |
| wilornel | In my project.c I #include <bmp.h> | 20:16 |
| Gyges | faryshta, search packages.ubuntu.com download each package you'll subsequently need and install | 20:16 |
| gozon | aaas, copy the patch where? | 20:16 |
| wilornel | but then when I compile with g++, it does not work! | 20:16 |

| glitsj16 | r3dLunchb0x_: any luck yet finding alternatives to nfswatch? i ask because i'm not sure if tshark (console) / wireshark (gui) have nfs support .. no nfs around @home to test tshark so this could just be another dud .. time for me to move, goodluck & take care | 20:17 |

| wilornel | anyone? | 20:17 |
| aaas | gozon yes the command should be patch -p1 diff_webcamstudio.patch | 20:17 |
| aaas | gozon yes the command should be patch -p1 < diff_webcamstudio.patch | 20:18 |
| zykotick9 | glitsj16: wireshark capture packets - that would include nfs ;) not a very good "monitor" imo. r3dLunchb0x_ | 20:18 |
| aaas | gozon but both files need to be in that directory | 20:18 |
| r3dLunchb0x_ | glitsj16: found a tcpdump dommand to monitor the port, will be pushing the through wireshark to see if it gathers up the info i need. | 20:18 |
| BluesKaj | ZummiG777, so your /etc/network/interfaces file is basically cloned in each pc with all the IPs ? | 20:18 |
| aaas | gozon the webcamstudio file and the patch file | 20:18 |
| wilornel | guys cmon its a fast one | 20:18 |
| Gyges | wilornel, search for the name of the library AND for packages ending in -dev | 20:18 |
| Jordan_U | kosher: Can you easily remove all drives except sda? It will make testing easier. | 20:18 |
| glitsj16 | zykotick9: thx for the confirmation | 20:19 |

| faryshta | Gyges, zykotick9 do you guys know how to erase all the files you get when you do "apt-get update"? | 20:19 |

| aaas | gozon you can delete the PATCH FILE after | 20:19 |
| ZummiG777 | BluesKaj: There are a list of static IPs, all bound to lo in some fashion, that are cloned between machines. This is part of an ipvs cluster. I would like, when the file is updated, that all of the ip addresses that were added are brought up automatically. In theory I could do a initl.d/networking restart but if there in an error I'd like eth0 to still be active. | 20:20 |

| zykotick9 | !mini | 20:42 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 20:42 |
| crazyharry | IdleOne, I want to know name of NAS, Lacie is one, but it says its for MAc or PC | 20:42 |
| average_guy | I just installed ubuntu server + lxde to try to get lighter then lubuntu it seems lovely. I don't see a dif. Kernel looks the same to me. | 20:44 |
| angs | what is wrong with this command? sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential | 20:44 |
| mdunphy_ | hey all | 20:45 |
| BluesKaj | crazyharry, you could install NAS software on a older pc , and installing a large HDD for the data is a method many ppl use , alot cheaper than flaky commercial NASs | 20:45 |
| mdunphy_ | my version of whois says "Unknown AS number or IP network. Please upgrade this program." --- i'm on 10.04, so i have v5.0.013. is there an easy way to get the newest one (eg the one in 12.04) without upgrading all of ubuntu? | 20:45 |
| crazyharry | BluesKaj, how about getting a RAID NAS, I need a complete backup of my 1TB Ubuntu System | 20:46 |
| BluesKaj | why raid , crazyharry ..that just complicates things | 20:46 |
| crazyharry | BluesKaj, also now it has 4 HDD in RAID combination, I think it will be complicated to add HDD (other than external) to it | 20:46 |
| angs | what is wrong with the syntax of this command? sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential what is the correct syntax for it? | 20:47 |
| i7c | deper29: haha :D well good you're able to do that ;) | 20:47 |
| BluesKaj | i'm talking about a totally separate NAS , connected only to the network , not to any particular pc | 20:47 |
| crazyharry | and use a software for backup ? BluesKaj | 20:48 |
| crazyharry | BluesKaj, do you think this will work ? http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?id=10476 | 20:49 |
| BluesKaj | if you just want to backup data , you don't need a NAS | 20:49 |
| crazyharry | ok, BluesKaj: whats the best I should do then | 20:50 |
| crazyharry | I only need to backup the server | 20:50 |
| crazyharry | nothing more | 20:50 |
| trism | angs: the syntax looks correct, what is the error? | 20:50 |
| BluesKaj | I just use an external drive , crazyharry | 20:50 |
| crazyharry | BluesKaj, is there software to backup the Ubuntu then ? | 20:51 |
| imbezol | crazyharry: depends on your recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives | 20:51 |
| crazyharry | also BluesKaj, please recommend me an external 2-3TB hard drive | 20:51 |
| zak_ | hi | 20:52 |
| crazyharry | I have two 2-TB WD for mac and PC, but havent used it in Linux | 20:52 |
| zak_ | i m new to liux , anyone can tell me please how to change permissions of a whole partition | 20:52 |
| SkippersBoss | zak_ | 20:53 |
| imbezol | zak_: use chmod on the partition mountpoint if it's a linux filesystem (ext, reiser, etc..) | 20:53 |
| SkippersBoss | what are you trying to achive | 20:53 |
| Gyges | zak_, always read man chmod | 20:53 |
| angs | trism: this is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1073795/ | 20:53 |
| Gyges | !man | 20:53 |
| ubottu | The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ | 20:53 |
| zak_ | i set a partition for my mp3 , i don't know why amarok cant read my mp3 , it says that i dont have the sufficiant permissions,, which i checked , i found it set to ''root'' | 20:53 |
| imbezol | zak_: use mount options if it's an ntfs or fat filesystem | 20:53 |
| trism | angs: have you run: sudo apt-get update; yet? | 20:54 |
| zak_ | imbezol: it is an ext 3 one actually | 20:54 |
| BluesKaj | crazyharry, if you are just backing up your data from ubuntu directories , you can even store it on ntfs formatted drive , there's no real software required , unles of course you have vast amounts of data in workplace that' needs backup then that's totally different | 20:54 |
| EzeQL | how can i change the path to point to a different version of a bin ? | 20:54 |
| imbezol | zak_: ok. you can change the permissions of the mountpoint (while it's mounted) with chmod | 20:54 |
| crazyharry | BluesKaj, I need them backed up periodically, maybe once a week | 20:54 |
| zak_ | imbezol: hehe :) it is my foirst day with linux man :) i am not quite sure i can do this :/ lol | 20:55 |
| imbezol | zak_: or chown to make your user own the mountpoint | 20:55 |
| SkippersBoss | zak_ what does your fstab file say ?? | 20:55 |
| drag0nius | hello | 20:55 |
| crazyharry | does this work for Linux ? http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-My-Book-Studio/dp/B002BH3ZCU/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1341348843&sr=1-1&keywords=4TB+external+hard+drive | 20:55 |
| BluesKaj | crazyharry, then it depends on your situation ,,is this at work , is it back up for several pcs and servers ? | 20:55 |
| zak_ | SkippersBoss: fstab ??? | 20:56 |
| crazyharry | BluesKaj, yes its for work, but I need only the server backed up, the Mac server has its own 4TB backup connected directly to it through FireWire 800 | 20:56 |
| SkippersBoss | You said you have a seperate partition set up for your mp3 | 20:56 |
| imbezol | zak_: where did you mount the partition? and how'd you do it? | 20:56 |
| zak_ | SkippersBoss: this is the partition i want to change permission from root to user ''/dev/sda4 on /MP3 type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl,commit=5,barrier=1,data=ordered)'' | 20:57 |
| crazyharry | BluesKaj, No other pc needs to be backed up in this hdd, only the Ubuntu server | 20:57 |
| angs | trism: no, I did not run it. I have just run it, I still get the same error | 20:57 |
| imbezol | zak_: chown username /MP3 | 20:57 |
| zak_ | imbezol: a friend did it for me actually ..:/ | 20:57 |
| imbezol | zak_: are there mp3s in there already? | 20:57 |
| trism | angs: which ubuntu version? | 20:57 |
| imbezol | zak_: after you change the ownership of /MP3 to your user, do an ls -al /MP3 to see who owns the files | 20:58 |
| zak_ | imbezol: yes they are | 20:58 |
| zak_ | imbezol: chown: changing ownership of `/MP3': Operation not permitted | 20:58 |
| imbezol | zak_: put sudo in front of the command | 20:58 |
| imbezol | zak_: sudo chown username /MP3 | 20:58 |
| drag0nius | i've TS3 server running on startup on my Ubuntu Server, today my LAN card broke (ASUS P5KPL-CM integrated, led is orange), how do i log in locally? Last message im getting on startup is TS3 Server's "listening on" | 20:58 |
| angs | trism: ubuntu 12.04, uname -a > Linux beagleubuntu 3.2.0-26-omap #41-Ubuntu Thu Jun 14 18:19:55 UTC 2012 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux is the problem ubuntu-arm related? | 20:58 |
| imbezol | zak_: assuming you want to change everything in there to be owned by your user.... | 20:59 |
| imbezol | zak_: chown -R username /MP3 | 20:59 |
| zak_ | imbezol: yes i want to change everything :) | 20:59 |
| trism | angs: perhaps | 20:59 |
| imbezol | zak_: that will adjust the ownership on the files too | 20:59 |
| zak_ | imbezol: | 20:59 |
| zak_ | linux-zak:/home/zak # chown zak /MP3 | 20:59 |
| zak_ | linux-zak:/home/zak # | 20:59 |
| BluesKaj | crazyharry, firewire is a bit old , esata to sata , is the fastest interface to use , otherwise western digital is one of the the better HDD makers IMO | 20:59 |
| imbezol | zak_: again with sudo in front of course | 21:00 |
| zak_ | imbezol: ax an exemple ''drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 19 2004 Iron Maiden'' all the folders are set to root :/ | 21:00 |
| crazyharry | BluesKaj, but when I read the specs it doesnt say Linux is supported, do you think once I format it to ext2 it should be fine ? | 21:00 |
| zak_ | imbezol: | 21:00 |
| zak_ | zak@linux-zak:~> sudo chown zak /MP3 | 21:00 |
| zak_ | zak@linux-zak:~> | 21:01 |
| imbezol | zak_: do it with the -R option after chown | 21:01 |
| imbezol | zak_: that will recursively set everything inside MP3 too | 21:01 |
| zak_ | imbezol: | 21:01 |
| zak_ | zak@linux-zak:~> sudo chown -R zak /MP3 | 21:01 |
| zak_ | zak@linux-zak:~> | 21:02 |
| imbezol | zak_: check out your files now.. should be fixed | 21:02 |
| crazyharry | BluesKaj, so I think I will buy this one http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0041OSQB6, 3TB | 21:02 |
| drag0nius | guys, how do i log into Ubuntu Server locally while i have TS3 server running on startup? | 21:02 |
| BluesKaj | crazyharry, for what it;s worth buy an external drive that is either USB3 or sata | 21:02 |
| zak_ | imbezol: ok hold on please :) | 21:02 |
| imbezol | zak_: you could also do (assuming your group name is also zak) "sudo chgrp -R zak /MP3" | 21:02 |
| imbezol | zak_: that will fix the group ownership | 21:02 |
| trism | angs: you may have better luck for support in #ubuntu-arm but if you just need the headers for that kernel: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.2.0-26-omap; should do it | 21:03 |
| crazyharry | BluesKaj, I dont think the PowerEdge 2900 supports USB 3.0 , just USB 2.0 | 21:03 |
| crazyharry | its a dell server where the Ubuntu is running | 21:03 |
| trism | angs: I don't know what the meta package is for omap | 21:03 |
| zak_ | imbezol: ok hold on please | 21:03 |
| angs | trism: thank you | 21:04 |
| BluesKaj | crazyharry, you can buy an ordinary hdd then buy a separate enclosure for it , I have 2 and they work great | 21:05 |
| zak_ | imbezol: yes works great :) thank you very much :) | 21:05 |
| imbezol | zak_: np. just to double check.. what's the output of "grep -i mp3 /etc/fstab" ? | 21:06 |
| crazyharry | BluesKaj, sure if it for my home, this is for office, I dont think my boss will like patched up things ;), so you think the 4TB My book studio II will work fine with Linux ? | 21:06 |
| zak_ | imbezol: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HDT722520DLAT80_VD051GTF084TGL-part4 /MP3 ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 | 21:07 |
| imbezol | zak_: ok. that's probably fine. | 21:07 |
| BluesKaj | crazyharry, http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=HDD+sata+Enclosures&hl=en&client=ubuntu&hs=WBW&channel=fs&prmd=imvns&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1120&bih=478&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=17180773876213341914&sa=X&ei=917zT--DI8LdqgGb04nmAw&ved=0CKIBEPMCMAE | 21:07 |
| BluesKaj | oops | 21:07 |
| BluesKaj | forgot to install tiny url | 21:08 |
| zak_ | imbezol: is there any way to set that partition as rot in a sense that nobody has the right or can delete/create any fle /folder unless he must be a su ? | 21:08 |
| crazyharry | BluesKaj, please send me a complete product | 21:08 |
| imbezol | zak_: what's the output of "ls -ld /MP3" ? | 21:08 |
| crazyharry | recommend :-D | 21:09 |
| drag0nius | isnt there some magic key combination that takes me to login in ubuntu server? | 21:09 |
| drag0nius | or opens second terminal/whatever? | 21:09 |
| zak_ | imbezol: drwxr-xr-x 151 zak root 12288 Jul 3 19:49 /MP3 | 21:09 |
| imbezol | zak_: so that means only zak (or root) can modify the contents, but anyone can read them | 21:09 |
| BluesKaj | crazyharry, you can find one on your own just look for sata usb3 exyernal drives | 21:09 |

| zak_ | imbezol: sorry got disconnected | 21:12 |
| zak_ | imbezol: but i can delete files , eventhough i am not a superuser ! stange | 21:12 |
| imbezol | zak_: only as the user "zak" because you own the files | 21:12 |
| imbezol | zak_: if you logged in as another plain user, you could not delete the files | 21:12 |
| imbezol | zak_: it's probably best that way so you can manage the music collection | 21:12 |
| imbezol | zak_: ie.. delete songs you don't want anymore, add songs, etc | 21:13 |
| imbezol | zak_: the chown command is "change owner" and we changed it to zak | 21:13 |
| zak_ | imbezol: even if it is me i dont wanna be able to delete files only if iam a su, the aim, is i want to be risk free to delete files ''accidently'' | 21:13 |
| imbezol | zak_: then you should change them back to root | 21:14 |
| zak_ | imbezol: then amarok will not be able to read the mp3 :/ | 21:14 |
| imbezol | zak_: if the directory is rwxr-xr-x as you posted, and owned root and group root, you can still read them | 21:14 |

| ejv | correct | 21:55 |
| danub | do a 'ps -ef|grep 28392' | 21:55 |
| danub | maybe its attached to another process | 21:55 |
| ejv | it returns my grep command and the /sbin/apcupsd line | 21:56 |
| danub | ok, no parent. hmm... aside from a reboot, not sure what you can do | 21:57 |
| ejv | yea i've tried that when I first noticed it, it just starts happening again almost immediatley | 21:58 |
| danub | k, gimme a sec | 21:58 |
| ejv | and I can't keep cycling the server, I have several VM's and database daemon's running, can't afford the downtime | 21:58 |
| danub | have a problem with your UPS? | 21:59 |

| ejv | without the apcaccess, I can't monitor the brick | 21:59 |
| danub | if you do 'acpaccess status' do you get anything back? | 21:59 |
| ejv | yes: Error contacting apcupsd @ localhost:3551: Connection refused | 22:00 |

| ejv | this was working *several* kernel versions ago, probably last year. | 22:00 |
| ejv | circa 10.04.2 or .3... I don't remember. | 22:00 |
| ejv | if this is some systemic failure of 10.04 in general, I will schedule the downtime and bump to 12.04, perhaps a 3.0+ kernel will fix this? | 22:01 |
| danub | ok, i found an article about this problem, gimme a sec to finish reading it | 22:01 |
| ejv | else, if this is a low level USB comms failure (I have no idea how to troubleshoot at the USB hardware level) I will order a replacement board. I just need to be sure. | 22:02 |
| ejv | or if it's the brick, I can order a replacement for that... sigh. | 22:02 |
| danub | ejv, what is the kernel version your running? | 22:03 |
| ejv | < ejv> Hello, I'm running apcupsd on 10.04 LTS, kernel version 2.6.32-41-server | 22:03 |
| danub | hmm, ok , hold a few more seconds | 22:03 |
| Gremlyn | hi all, I have two 10.04.4 LTS servers, one old and one new, and I am intending to rsync from old to new (migrating to a new hosting company). both servers are fully up to date as of right now, but each is listing a different kernel, and my efforts thus far have been unsuccessful to bring either server on to a new kernel version. I have the new kernel installed, and even seems like it is the only installed kernel, but I can't get iehter to USE | 22:04 |
| ejv | i would ask in #ubuntu-server, but that chan is worthless, nobody ever talks there. | 22:04 |
| Gremlyn | ^ | 22:05 |
| raven | how to write a script that counts the time between two times grep finds a keyword in a textfile? | 22:05 |
| ejv | Gremlyn: that actually wasn't directed at you, just my frustration with my current problem. Sorry. | 22:05 |
| Gremlyn | no no, I was just agreeing with you :) | 22:05 |
| ejv | ah :) | 22:05 |
| ejv | by the way Gremlyn, your qestion got cut off after "USE" | 22:06 |
| |Long| | hi have anyone here used irssic apps? | 22:06 |
| ejv | s/qestion/question/ | 22:06 |
| danub | ejv: do you have apccontrol running? i see the 10.04 version referenced alot in these articles i'm coming across | 22:06 |
| Gremlyn | raven you could echo $time > file; grep whateverl echo $time >> file | 22:06 |
| ejv | I have no idea what apccontrol is, so I don't think so | 22:06 |
| Gremlyn | ejv, "USE the new kernel" was the rest | 22:07 |
| danub | ejv: 'locate apccontrol' and see if you get any results. | 22:07 |
| Gremlyn | raven, s/whateverl/whatever;/ :) | 22:07 |
| Gremlyn | raven, obviously you would need to define what $time is | 22:08 |
| ejv | there are some docs and config files for apccontrol, but it's not running if it's a binary | 22:08 |
| ejv | Gremlyn: are the servers identical in terms of hardware? a dist-upgrade should align them to the same version (theoretically) | 22:09 |
| danub | raven: between 2 in the same file or in multiple files? | 22:10 |
| Gremlyn | ejv, they are virtual servers on different hosts | 22:10 |
| Gremlyn | so likely not 100% identical | 22:10 |
| Gremlyn | I tried dist-upgrade | 22:11 |
| === VirtualBlackness is now known as L3top | ||
| danub | ejv: haven't come across a solution for it yet. its related to either a USB disconnect (try disconnecting the USB UPS,power down, move to a different port, and reboot?) and/or 10.04 (try upgrading?) | 22:12 |
| dalek_ | PLEASE Need Help/Advice!! If I install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.35-pkg1.run according to the instructions given by nvidia here - http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-173.14.35-driver.html - is it going to work with Ubuntu 12.04? Since it is now impossible to install nvidia driver 173 from the additional hardware app... | 22:12 |
| ejv | Tue Jul 03 00:15:07 UTC 2012 apcupsd 3.14.6 (16 May 2009) debian startup succeeded | 22:12 |
| ejv | Tue Jul 03 21:49:05 UTC 2012 apcupsd exiting, signal 15 | 22:12 |
| ejv | so it was online and working for about 22 hours... then failed. :\ | 22:13 |
| raven | Gremlyn how does that command work? | 22:13 |
| Gremlyn | ejv, tells me everything is up-to-date | 22:13 |
| danub | raven: checking time between greps for words in the same file or multiple files? | 22:14 |
| ejv | Gremlyn: kernel version is less significant than your software versions (in my opinion), perhaps you're being too cautious? | 22:14 |
| Gremlyn | ejv, entirely possible? | 22:14 |
| raven | danub i produce this word with watch periodically and i now need to switch from watch to an intelligent script | 22:14 |
| Gremlyn | this is my first server migration | 22:14 |
| Gremlyn | dalek_, can't install it through normal proprietary drivers install on 12.04? | 22:15 |
| ejv | Gremlyn: what packages do you rely upon? | 22:15 |
| Gremlyn | basic lamp stuff | 22:15 |
| danub | raven: perl would probably be your best bet, but i still don't quite understand what you are trying to do | 22:15 |
| raven | danub so there is no "real" location this word is all the time but there is a file sometimes this word appears | 22:15 |
| ejv | danub: I appreciate you looking, looks like I'm back at square one. :\ | 22:15 |
| Gremlyn | nothing fancy at all ejv | 22:16 |
| Gremlyn | I guess I could just try it and see what happens | 22:16 |
| Gremlyn | the new server is a blank slate, so not a big deal if I have to reinstall | 22:16 |
| dalek_ | Gremlyn, there is no longer any support for it under proprietary drivers. Support for version 173 ended with Ubuntu 11.10 | 22:16 |
| danub | raven: ahh, ok, i think i understand. so sometimes, in 1 file, a certain word will show up. you just want to have a log of when that word shows up in that file | 22:16 |
| danub | raven: correct? | 22:16 |
| ejv | just don't use any linux "LAMP" packages from the web, use your ubuntu repos :) | 22:16 |
| Gremlyn | oh gotcha dalek_, why nto use the newer driver? some issue with it for your build? | 22:16 |
| raven | danub i just shall calculate my watts out of the time | 22:16 |
| raven | danub yes nearly exactly | 22:17 |
| dalek_ | Gremlyn, 173 IS the newest available driver for my video card (onboard in a laptop - non replaceable) | 22:17 |
| danub | raven: ok, give me a second and i will pastebin you a quick script. | 22:17 |
| raven | danub wait | 22:17 |
| danub | raven: yes? | 22:17 |
| chrisirc | How does one choose the disk to install to in the Ubuntu 10.10 installer? | 22:18 |

| ejv | are you using the advanced sectino of the gparted installer? | 22:19 |
| ejv | s/sectino/section/ | 22:19 |

| Anxi80_ | If i made changes to /usr/share/applications/defaults.list will future possible software updater updates try to overwrite them like they do with /etc/gnome/defaults.list? | 22:20 |
| raven | danub i am still not sure how to do the calculation then i need to bridge the gap from a trigger points (grep, gap of 5 to 60 seconds between the "triggers") to a fixed periodically currency output of a script | 22:20 |
| raven | -then +because | 22:20 |
| bekks | Anxi80_: Most likely yes. | 22:21 |
| Anxi80_ | bekks, is their a better way of customizing my default apps that protects my settings? | 22:21 |
| kosher | Jordan_U: for some reason this freebsd install is taking forever. I will ping you after I get this CD booted. | 22:21 |
| danub | raven: so you want the script to constantly run, never sleeping? or you want it to run, sleep x #_of_seconds, check again? | 22:21 |
| Shano56 | anyone use cinnamon? | 22:21 |
| bekks | Anxi80_: You could pursue the update-alternatives mechanisms to protect your own configs. | 22:22 |
| IdleOne | Shano56: cinnamon is off topic for this channel | 22:22 |
| dalek_ | Gremlyn, judging by that post, looks like support for 173 driver MIGHT be coming later... and it sounds like it MIGHT be possible to build the drivers from the .run file? Do you think it would hurt my system if I went ahead and tried it? | 22:22 |
| Shano56 | my bad | 22:22 |
| Anxi80_ | bekks, thanks | 22:23 |
| Gremlyn | dalek_, I imagine it would be recoverable should it fail miserably, so it's either try it and see, wait for the potential release of 173, and stick to the ubuntu drivers... | 22:23 |
| Gremlyn | all depends on how capable you feel about fixing things should it break | 22:23 |
| dalek_ | Gremlyn, the problem with using the nouveau drivers is they are worse than useless with this particular nvidia card. :( | 22:24 |
| raven | danub no it has to run all the time. perhaps it woulld be possible to start the script when the trigger appears so the script only has to do the calculation from time to current. but the script also has to have a fixed output periode. for example to output the value every 60 seconds to a txt file. from this file another api takes this data. its the try to attach a sensor to the project www.volkszaehler.org its a metering tool | 22:24 |
| Gremlyn | sounds like you need to give it a shot then | 22:24 |
| Gremlyn | I always look at that kind of thing as a new adventure in linux, dalek_ :D | 22:25 |
| danub | raven: im going to msg u | 22:25 |
| enapupe | HI, I need some help to increase my SWAP, i`m already on a live key with gparted http://i.imgur.com/iKtcv.png | 22:25 |
| Pecker | enapupe: sounds like you need to make room for a bigger swap | 22:26 |
| Pecker | altho why you need mroe than 2 GB swap idk | 22:26 |
| Gremlyn | enapupe, why do you need to increase swap? | 22:27 |
| enapupe | Gremlyn: new memory ram comming | 22:27 |
| Gremlyn | if you're swapping 2GB, you're doing something wrong... | 22:27 |
| enapupe | Gremlyn: i`ll be with 8gb | 22:27 |
| Gremlyn | your swap doesn't HAVE to be the same size | 22:27 |
| enapupe | Gremlyn: i`m almost not using swap | 22:27 |
| enapupe | acually I just set the swapiness to 10 | 22:27 |
| enapupe | but IF i want to hibernate it wont work, right? | 22:28 |
| bekks | enapupe: Whats your RAM size, and whats your swap size? | 22:28 |
| Gremlyn | does hibernate write to swap? | 22:28 |
| bekks | Gremlyn: Sure. | 22:28 |
| Gremlyn | never thought of that as a possibility | 22:28 |
| enapupe | bekks: currently 4gb ram 2gb swap | 22:28 |
| bekks | Gremlyn: Thats the only place to store something recoverably :) | 22:29 |
| enapupe | bekks: tomorrow 8gb ram | 22:29 |
| bekks | enapupe: you could create a swap file with 8.1G, insert it into your fstab and you'll be fine. | 22:30 |
| Gremlyn | enapupe, I would delete the existing swap, move sda6 and sda4 forward, and wgile you're at it shop of a piece of one of them | 22:30 |
| Gremlyn | going to take a WHILE | 22:30 |
| enapupe | bekks: have you seen the screenshot? | 22:30 |
| enapupe | the perfect scenario would be resize down sda1 (which i`m using only 10%) and add to swap | 22:30 |
| Gremlyn | oh, but your swap is a logcial partition in sda3 | 22:31 |
| bekks | enapupe: then create backups before and do it. | 22:31 |
| Gremlyn | what is each drive? | 22:31 |
| enapupe | bekks: backup sucks | 22:31 |
| enapupe | but i need to merge both ntsf too | 22:31 |
| Gremlyn | sda1 = / ? sda6 = /home? | 22:31 |
| enapupe | Gremlyn: yes | 22:32 |
| beandog | When he says AWHILE, he means HOURS | 22:33 |
| bekks | enapupe: then create a backup of ntfs#1 and #2, delete #2, enlarge #1, copy over all files from your backup of #2. THEN, continue resizing, etc., after having a new backup handy. | 22:33 |
| beandog | Moving partitions with data around takes forever | 22:33 |
| bekks | beandog: Not on here. | 22:33 |
| andybrine | evening everyone | 22:33 |
| andybrine | is anyone here from the uk? | 22:33 |
| enapupe | ntfs is shitty windows, i can erase everything withoout problem | 22:33 |
| enapupe | my urgent goal is to resize swap | 22:34 |
| Gremlyn | enapupe, if you wanted to completely overhaul, here is what I would do: cut down sda1 to 35-50 GB, copy sda2 contents to sda4, move sda6 up behind sda1, cut out your swap after sda6, and have the ntfs at the very end | 22:34 |
| Gremlyn | but that is going to take some time to complete | 22:34 |
| beandog | You could just make a new swap file, instead of a partition | 22:34 |
| beandog | dunno how smart that is in *practice*, but you can do it. | 22:34 |
| bekks | beandog: thats what I told him already. | 22:34 |
| enapupe | i want to accomplish the correct way, increase the size of my current swap shirnking sda1, is this possible | 22:35 |
| enapupe | ? | 22:35 |
| beandog | bekks: oh okay, sorry, came in half way :) | 22:35 |
| bekks | enapupe: yes. as I told you. | 22:35 |
| enapupe | (sorry about my keyboard, it`s missconfigured) | 22:35 |
| Gremlyn | swap doesn't have to be a logical partiton, it can be standalone with something you cut off sda1 | 22:35 |
| Gremlyn | or logical of sda1 | 22:36 |
| bekks | Gremlyn: it has to be a partition at least :) | 22:36 |
| beandog | how much RAM do you have right now? And how much swap? | 22:36 |
| Gremlyn | well, yeah :P | 22:36 |
| escott | bekks, you can have swap files, but hibernating to them is tough | 22:36 |
| beandog | You really wouldn't need any more than 1-2 GB of swap in almost any condition | 22:36 |
| beandog | Because, freak, if you're swapping 1 GB of data, you're in a painful situation. | 22:36 |
| bekks | escott: at least its a chance. | 22:36 |
| trying2code | i replaced my login desktop-login.ogg from /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo | 22:37 |
| bekks | beandog: hibernating ALWAYS goes to swap... | 22:37 |
| enapupe | the thing is not swapping ram, is hibernation | 22:37 |
| trying2code | but it doesnt play anymore | 22:37 |
| ejv | i have 0GB of swap, it's glorious. | 22:37 |
| beandog | bekks: it doesn't *have* to, but yah ... good point. | 22:37 |
| enapupe | i`m not swapping any ram, i`m OK | 22:37 |
| beandog | man | 22:37 |
| bekks | And 1G swap is nuts nowadays. | 22:37 |
| enapupe | ejv: how do u hibernnate | 22:37 |
| * beandog missed half the picture | 22:37 | |
| enapupe | ? | 22:37 |
| beandog | I'll just sit out this one. :) | 22:37 |
| ejv | enapupe: I don't hibernate. :) | 22:38 |
| ejv | for bears only. | 22:38 |
| enapupe | ... | 22:38 |
| Pecker | is linux hibernation any better than windows hibernation? | 22:39 |
| Gremlyn | trying2code, what do you mean 'replaced'? | 22:39 |
| beandog | Pecker: it works reasonably well, most of the time | 22:39 |
| beandog | Pecker: really though, it depends on your hardware, how good the drivers are, how recent your kernel is, etc. But most of the time, yah, it'll work fine | 22:40 |

| marsfligth | deper29: It is a big problem because I can't acces to my home files because I used an encripted filesystem for all my home | 23:03 |
| deper29 | marsfligth, but you can login? | 23:03 |

| kristenREUHREO | I'm really struggling to set up a vnc or a similar technology to get a remote desktop. I have been trying different software and solutions for the past hours with no luck. I really need help. My situation is pretty simple. I have a computer (A) that is connected through ssh on a remote computer (B) and I would like to get a remote desktop on B. Both use ubuntu desktop edition. | 23:13 |
| deper29 | marsfligth, do you have the root account enabled? | 23:14 |
| marsfligth | no | 23:14 |
| === Myr|Away is now known as Myr | ||
| kristenREUHREO | can someone help me to setup vnc please ? | 23:16 |
| marsfligth | deper29: I am afraid that I'll have to format all and loose all data and settings | 23:18 |
| deper29 | marsfligth, no, you won't have to do that. | 23:18 |
| deper29 | marsfligth, look into konboot | 23:19 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, the easiest thing is ssh -X which would allow B to view one off gui applications running on A | 23:20 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: yes I know, but I would want to see the whole desktop rather than just one application | 23:20 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: and as a matter of fact I'm interested in one application that is already running on B. | 23:20 |
| marsfligth | deper29: konboot? Never heard | 23:21 |
| deper29 | marsfligth, you should be able to hack into your system using that. you won't have access to your home folder but you won't have to reformat | 23:21 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: (I'm KristenB by the way, the nickname was taken :)) | 23:21 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, then you need to install a vnc server on A. vino or Xvnc. and depending on the connection (if this is home to work) you might have to tunnel some ports | 23:21 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: I already installed the vnc server. | 23:22 |
| marsfligth | deper29: I'll try it | 23:22 |
| === arthur is now known as Guest67029 | ||
| kristenREUHREO | escott: and I already installed the vnc client on A as well (vinagre, but I can use another want if you want me to) | 23:22 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: but I just can't manage to connect to the vnc server. | 23:23 |
| deper29 | marsfligth, let me know how it works | 23:23 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, how are you trying to connect to that vnc server? | 23:23 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, what port and address is it trying to hit? | 23:23 |
| === avis is now known as Guest59661 | ||
| === nick_ is now known as NewLappy | ||
| kristenREUHREO | escott: I've tried so many things I can't remember. But one of them was I think to do ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 B on A, and then connect with the vnc client with localhost:5900 | 23:24 |
| NewLappy | vexus1, are you the person that was helping me earlier with uefi questions? | 23:25 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, is that the correct port? does netstat -ltn show it listening on B | 23:27 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: and if I do that I get an error by the vnc client saying 'an error occurred: connection to host 127.0.0.1 was closed'. and at the remote host I get "channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused" | 23:27 |
| saori | hello! | 23:28 |
| NewLappy | hello saori | 23:28 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: it shows it's listening on 22. | 23:28 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, did you start vino on B? | 23:29 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: I don't know | 23:29 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: Isn't vino the graphical vnc client to be executed on A? | 23:29 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: I installed vncserver on B, and that's it, I think | 23:30 |
| saori | I have a new install of 12.04 desktop 32 bit, and I can't get my media keys to have any effect. I checked and the keys are properly bound n the keyboard settings page. What else might help me fix/troubleshoot this? | 23:30 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, you need to start the server on B. and it needs to use the display localhost:0 | 23:30 |
| Jordan_U | saori: Try running "xev" and with the xev window in focus try pressing one of the media keys and see if it registers as an event (you'll have to watch the output in the terminal). | 23:31 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: I don't have vino installed on B, I think | 23:31 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, B is the remote you want to view right? so B needs to have a VNC server running. A would have the client | 23:31 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: What I've done is x11vnc -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0 | 23:32 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: and I thought that would start the vnc server | 23:32 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: yes, that's right, I want to view B from A, B is the server, A the client. | 23:32 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, if it did then it should appear in netstat -ltn | 23:32 |
| === lloir is now known as Lloir|zZzZz | ||
| kristenREUHREO | escott: oh ok maybe it was stopped. I tried to launch it again. this time, when I use the vnc client, for the first time it seems to connect. But I get a black screen. | 23:34 |
| gozon | what is the command to remove a ppa in the terminal? | 23:34 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, does the remote host have the screensaver running? | 23:34 |
| saori | Jordan_U: It does pop up with distinct events for each key. | 23:35 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: i don't think so, but that's not entirely impossible. I tried moving the mouse or sending keys, it still stays black. | 23:35 |
| ceti331 | can anyone recomend a KDE based distro .. kubuntu or linux mint 12kde - which will be best? | 23:35 |
| extor | How on earth do I make a sudo user | 23:36 |
| extor | I have console access as root but unable to ssh as root and there are no sudo users | 23:36 |
| NewLappy | ceti331, a question like that is bound to get a biased response in a room such as this | 23:36 |
| dax | ceti331: You're in #ubuntu, so people will say Kubuntu. imho, Linux Mint is a waste of time, and Debian testing or Gentoo work fine. | 23:36 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: maybe it's a issue related to the display numbers? I never understood that stuff so maybe the setup was wrong. I just used :0 wherever I was asked to. | 23:36 |
| NewLappy | extor, what exactly are you trying to do? | 23:37 |
| marsfligth | deper29: I'm searching for'KON-BOOT', but it seems working only on m$ and apple. Probably I made some mistake | 23:37 |
| NewLappy | extor, if you are in a console, but want to ssh as root at a remote machine, try ssh root@machine | 23:37 |
| ceti331 | better question: my unity had broken since i was essing with effects; is there a way to reset it | 23:37 |
| eoss | http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+do+you+create+a+user+with+root+priviledges%3F | 23:37 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, what does -safer do? | 23:37 |
| ceti331 | unity broke since i used ccsm to mess with desktop cube etc... | 23:37 |
| deper29 | marsfligth, you have 64 bit? | 23:37 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: -safer where? | 23:37 |
| subz3r0 | ceti331, unity --reset | 23:38 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, in your x11vnc command. you have -safer | 23:38 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: I don't know it's just a command I've seen somewhere (I think on the ubuntu help website) and I just copy pasted it. | 23:38 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, take it out. i also think -once is default. | 23:39 |
| ceti331 | thanks | 23:39 |
| ceti331 | are there known bugs in 12.04 - mine is has been very glitchy; i'll reboot just incase the reset fixes it, but i suspect it was always a bit off | 23:39 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, :0 is the first X server that runs. the one on tty7. in some cases you would start a second X server on tty8 (rare but some people do it), ssh tunnel interfaces also establish their own :# addresses | 23:39 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: ok I removed both and restarted the server; it still stays black | 23:40 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: but there's already a server running, this is a desktop computer, so it has its own server for local purposes, no? | 23:40 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, thats the limit of my vnc knowledge. you could look at !vnc. seems the connection is working, but maybe the vnc is in view only and not control mode so you cant kill the screensaver | 23:41 |
| kristenREUHREO | escott: how about setting it with qtnx? I'm also having problems with that one. | 23:42 |
| escott | kristenREUHREO, thats NX which is different. doesn't (so far as im aware) let you take ownership of an existing X session. | 23:43 |
| kristenREUHREO | kristenREUHREO: I just don't know what to input in the client, it asks for name/password but I'm using public keys to connect | 23:43 |
