| mrb427 | usr13: thanks, doesnt seem to be doing anything though | 00:05 |
| foreWORX_ | except i have to get back on the internet | 00:05 |

| danub | gordonjcp: ok, ill ask again | 00:06 |
| danub | i get an error NameError: global name 'GError' is not defined | 00:06 |
| danub | when trying to do unity --reset | 00:06 |
| danub | how can i fix this? | 00:06 |
| danub | right now, i cant scroll my windows...(not without using the pageup/pagedown keys) | 00:07 |
| danub | so i tried to do a unity reset but it gives that error and i see bug reports on it, but i need to get it fixed and cant seem to find the solution | 00:07 |
| usr13 | 972304 | 00:07 |
| gordonjcp | danub: have you tried googling for that error message, verbatim? | 00:08 |
| ulugbek | danub: you had this issue before or after reset? | 00:08 |
| danub | i have this issue before and after the upgrade, after reboots, etc | 00:08 |
| danub | gordonjcp: thats the first thing i always do | 00:09 |
| usr13 | danub: upgrade to __________ ? | 00:09 |
| usr13 | 12.04 ? | 00:09 |
| danub | from 11.10 to 12.04 | 00:09 |
| ronson | 2.5.1 | 00:09 |
| gordonjcp | danub: so did you try the first thing in the first hit on Google? | 00:10 |
| usr13 | danub: Is this relevant?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-lens-videos/+bug/972304 | 00:10 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 972304 in unity-scope-video-remote (Ubuntu Precise) "unity-scope-video-remote crashed with GError in on_activate_uri(): Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/gvfs-open" (No such file or directory)" [Low,Fix committed] | 00:10 |
| danub | gordonjcp: first thing that popped up on my results was the launchpad bug report with no solution | 00:10 |
| gordonjcp | danub: there should be an ubuntuforums thread? | 00:11 |
| danub | usr13: from that summary, no. mine is a dbus error relating to an undefined GError value | 00:11 |
| gordonjcp | danub: they suggest logging in using unity2d, and checking that unity is enabled in ccsm | 00:12 |
| ulugbek | danub: sounds like compiz borkery, are you using the same configuration files before/after the upgrade? | 00:12 |
| ulugbek | danub: ie the ones in you home directory | 00:12 |
| gordonjcp | danub: however without seeing the error verbatim it's hard to be sure | 00:12 |
| gordonjcp | danub: what did you upgrade? | 00:12 |
| danub | do-release-upgrade. it upgraded practically everything | 00:13 |
| gordonjcp | ah | 00:13 |
| gordonjcp | yeah, nice theory | 00:13 |
| gordonjcp | I have never seen do-release-upgrade work entirely without problems | 00:13 |
| danub | unity config was never changed so whatever was set during the unity install of 11.10, is what it still is (unless the upgrade changed it, i was never prompted about it) | 00:14 |
| gordonjcp | I don't understand why people bother with do-release-upgrade, it takes much longer to do that than it does to just do a fresh install | 00:14 |
| gordonjcp | then just script installing all the packages you normally add in | 00:15 |
| ulugbek | danub: there are some subtle differences, if you do not have heavy environmental customization, i would suggest using gconf (or preferred) to send everything to 'defaults' | 00:15 |
| danub | http://pastebin.com/FRFHS6pC | 00:15 |
| danub | that is the error | 00:15 |
| danub | gordonjcp: what was that link with the unity2d info? | 00:16 |
| danub | im going to give that a shot and see whats up | 00:16 |
| ulugbek | danub: as I suspected it is compiz | 00:16 |
| danub | ulugbek: so what? remove and reinstall compiz? | 00:17 |
| ulugbek | danub: try to disable then re-enable rather than install/uninstall | 00:17 |
| tking | hello guys, i don't know if anyone have an idea on how to ope a .csv file downloaded from internet, when i try opening it i get image1 as error but repairing it produces the other 2 pls view https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46512205/img1.png, https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46512205/img2.png, https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46512205/img3.png | 00:18 |
| danub | ulugbek: got a link? i know jack about the x subsystem. up until i installed ubuntu, i was always a headless redhat guy | 00:18 |
| ulugbek | danub: one moment, i just had to do this a couple weeks ago, looking for my txt file | 00:19 |
| machicola | What would be the preferred way to create a script that runs through several tasks on Ubuntu 11.10, on start up? Would I have to create a script from scratch & set certain parameters or should I edit a file like .bash_rc or .bash_profile? Any help would be much appreciated! | 00:20 |
| danub | ok, think i found something in the ccsm | 00:20 |
| danub | the dbus under unity wasn't checked (don't know what checking it will do, but we are about to find out) | 00:21 |
| danub | nope, still get the error. crap | 00:21 |
| trism | tking: looking at the second screenshot, looks like the file might be zipped (so not a csv file, or maybe inside the zip) | 00:21 |
| danub | im guessing i will have to restart for this stuff to take affect. lets see what happens | 00:23 |
| tking | trism thanks its not zipped, cos my friend opened it from his windows | 00:23 |
| Khisanth | the file has the headers for a zip file but whatever it is, it isn't a text file which is what a csv is supposed to be | 00:26 |
| Khisanth | tking: which program is your friend using to open it? | 00:27 |
| tking | microsoft office | 00:27 |
| Khisanth | because at least one of the office formats is a zip compressed .xml ... | 00:28 |
| danub | nope, still didnfix my error. how am i supposed to get the scroll bar in the search window? | 00:28 |
| dominoe | hi | 00:28 |
| tking | Khisanth, microsoft office on windows, i have experience this before with a .doc file | 00:28 |
| danub | or the dash home window rather? i get it on some other windows (which is a start atleast) | 00:28 |
| nulldev | microsoft > 2&>1 /dev/null | 00:29 |
| dominoe | anyone can test if my ssh server works by ssh juan@177.84.106.253 please ? | 00:29 |
| nulldev | dominoe are you a honey pot? | 00:29 |
| tking | Khisanth, i renamed the file to xml and didn't work | 00:29 |
| dominoe | im sick it doesnt work when i test it from my network | 00:30 |
| nulldev | dominoe what about localhost? | 00:30 |
| danub | dominoe, you have to use your internal IP | 00:30 |
| dominoe | with the outside ip address but yes inside my network | 00:30 |
| danub | you cant give it the external if your behind the firewall | 00:31 |
| dominoe | that works the internal ip | 00:31 |
| sam555 | hello all! | 00:31 |
| dominoe | I want to test if i can ssh from the outside thats why i ask here | 00:31 |
| Khisanth | tking: it's definitely NOT a .xml, it COULD be a .xlsx | 00:31 |
| nulldev | so your prob is your firewall or your routing | 00:31 |
| sam555 | Does anyone know of an updated version of this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370738 for ubuntu 12.04 lts 64bit? | 00:31 |
| Khisanth | especially if it is supposed ot be a spreadsheet | 00:31 |
| dominoe | I eliminated all firewall rules did port forwarding | 00:32 |
| tking | Khisanth, but LibreOffice opens .xlsx files | 00:32 |
| nulldev | have you done a trace route? | 00:32 |
| dominoe | try ssh juan@177.84.106.253 -p443 tell me if you get something (I dont) | 00:32 |
| danub | nulldev: he can get in fine internally, he wants someone to test if they can access from outside | 00:32 |
| dominoe | traceroute works | 00:32 |
| nulldev | danub hence the trace route | 00:33 |
| ulugbek | danub: well i cant find my howto, must be at work, but - | 00:33 |
| nulldev | they go outside the network iirc | 00:33 |
| ulugbek | danub: something to try maybe to reset compiz to defaults via | 00:33 |
| ulugbek | danub: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 -and then- | 00:33 |
| dominoe | exactly danub thats what I want can u try it? | 00:33 |
| ulugbek | danub: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/compizconfig | 00:34 |
| tking | Khisanth, seeing it from my frnd pc its a .csv file (comma seperated value...) but i thi | 00:34 |
| nulldev | dominoe why you binding ssh to https (443) Apche will be conflicting | 00:34 |
| dominoe | also this online ssh tests works and retrieves the ssh server fingerprint | 00:34 |
| nulldev | ^^ | 00:34 |
| dominoe | I also tried binding with 5900 its the only two open ports available I have from my provider | 00:35 |
| nulldev | ^^ | 00:35 |
| Khisanth | tking: it might be able to open xlsx files but not when you are telling it that the file is a CSV | 00:35 |
| danub | dominoe: you have alot more then that | 00:35 |
| dominoe | also this works: http://www.infobyip.com/sshservertest.php | 00:35 |
| nulldev | ssh will not bind to 443 if you have Apache running | 00:35 |
| dominoe | I dont have apache anyways | 00:35 |
| dominoe | and it works from the inside and from an external online test here: http://www.infobyip.com/sshservertest.php it rerieves the fingerprint | 00:36 |
| dominoe | so Im almost there | 00:36 |
| dominoe | but I read that testong from the inside can cause loopback problems | 00:36 |
| Loshki | dominoe: so which port did you forward? | 00:36 |
| dominoe | I forward 443 to 22 | 00:36 |
| danub | ulugbek: 2 questions. 1, in your dash home, do you get a scroll bar? can you scroll that window? and 2 where can i set keyboard shortcuts? i looked in the keyboard settings but nothing is there for my shortcuts | 00:37 |
| dominoe | on the machine behind the router where the ssh deamon works (listening to 22) | 00:37 |
| nulldev | dominoe you have something running on port 80 so I think Apache is running my nmap was filtered | 00:37 |
| tking | Khisanth, well, i think its a csv bcos i downloaded it from a website many servers can create .csv files and not xls or xlxs most especially if site is build on PHP | 00:37 |
| dominoe | and internally its perfect I login from other machines | 00:37 |
| nulldev | dominoe service apache2 status? | 00:37 |
| Loshki | dominoe: Ag, I see it now. I do see a password prompt when I do "ssh -p 443 -v juan@177.84.106.253" | 00:38 |
| ulugbek | danub: no scroll, and i have no idea about shortcuts, sry :( | 00:38 |
| dominoe | perfet Loshki then it works ! | 00:38 |
| danub | it doesn't have a scroll for you either? wth is that? how are you supposed to scroll your programs? lol thats so stupid | 00:38 |
| dominoe | I must have a problem that that same command ssh -p 443 -v juan@177.84.106.253 for some reason does not work from the local network | 00:38 |
| danub | guess i dont need to reset the config then... | 00:38 |
| Black_ | buenas noches necesito ayuda | 00:39 |
| Loshki | dominoe: yes, it looks like a functioning ssh server! | 00:39 |
| nulldev | 443 isnt needed for ssh either ssh is more secure than https | 00:39 |
| dominoe | ok Loshki great great man I was like 5 hours on this crap | 00:39 |
| nulldev | if changing port, you want to chaange it to defer port scans so an unused port or a used port by a service you dont run | 00:40 |
| Black_ | descargue la actualizacion 11.10 de ubuntu y ahora cuando intento entrar de nuevo al sistema se queda buteando y no entra | 00:41 |
| dominoe | I can use 5900 wait loski let me change it... ok and try this now please : ssh -p 5900 -v juan@177.84.106.253 | 00:41 |
| Black_ | quien podria ayudarme por fa | 00:42 |
| === cornfeed is now known as zz_cornfeed | ||
| dominoe | I think its better I use port 5900 as a ssh binding to 22 instead of port 443 to avoid those https problems | 00:42 |
| nulldev | dominoe 5900 should be fine | 00:42 |
| dominoe | so please any one can try this and tell me if they get to the password prompt : ssh -p 5900 -v juan@177.84.106.253 | 00:43 |
| Loshki | dominoe: yes, it works with 5900 also. If you're going to leave an ssh server running, consider disabling passworded logins and only allow entry via ssh keys | 00:43 |
| dominoe | yes but 5900 is normally used by VPN/VNC | 00:43 |
| dominoe | yeah ok Ill do that | 00:43 |
| studio | i have a problem my unity dissapears i believe that i install cinnamon how can i fix this | 00:43 |
| dominoe | at least now I know its working... thanks | 00:43 |
| nulldev | dominoe you need ssh juan@177.84.106.253 -p 5900 | 00:44 |
| dominoe | can you also test a vpn connection on that same IP? | 00:44 |
| nulldev | you can put -v after ssh | 00:44 |
| dominoe | i also cant get vpn fom the inside | 00:44 |
| nulldev | you setting up a honey trap? | 00:45 |
| dominoe | yeah the -v was just to get info here | 00:45 |
| Black_ | necesito ayuda | 00:46 |
| Black_ | quien podria ayudarme | 00:46 |
| dominoe | dont know what a honey trap is i just want to see if it works from out, cause i dont understand why from inside it doesnt when i use the exernal ip | 00:46 |
| nulldev | dominoe a honey trap is what real hackers use to learn but also get the IP addresses of people connecting | 00:47 |
| rollingeye212 | anyone know a website where Paypal could be purcashed | 00:47 |
| dominoe | haha no no i dont care about your ips i care about stopping to getting obsessed with this | 00:47 |
| dominoe | but ok ssh works thas already great | 00:47 |
| dominoe | so vpn/vnc should work to | 00:48 |
| nulldev | dominoe your issue is network related from what I see | 00:48 |
| dominoe | well yeah thats quite a general statement what esle could it be | 00:48 |
| dominoe | but rare | 00:49 |
| dominoe | I mean you can access from oustide and me fomr inside too but using the internal IP | 00:49 |
| yanick_ | hi, I just installed the package phpmyadmin and the app is not accessible through http://localhost/phpmyadmin . It's the first time this happens :) what do I do? | 00:49 |

| === lrh9_ is now known as lrh9 | ||
| dominoe | but not when I ssh to the external IP binded to the internet (from the inside) but you ues | 00:50 |
| dominoe | strange no ?! | 00:50 |
| syd | I'm having some issues configuring SFTP for a specific user. I want them chrooted to the directory /media/Storage/Archives/. I have this in sshd_config. http://pastebin.com/bAwwZ7iK However, when I try to connect, i get "Connection reset by peer". Can anyone help me figure this out? | 00:50 |
| nulldev | dominoe so are all your services your trying to connect to responding locally. Telnet or port scan? | 00:50 |
| dominoe | yes locally telnet/vpn and ssh work perfect | 00:50 |
| nulldev | thats the first step of troubleshooting | 00:50 |
| dominoe | and from what I say also from the ouside | 00:50 |
| dominoe | but only when I try connecting to the sevices from the inside but using the outside IP they dont | 00:51 |
| dominoe | but yes when I use the internal IPs | 00:51 |
| nulldev | dominoe what services are serving external? | 00:51 |
| dominoe | only ssh and vpn | 00:51 |
| dominoe | so I can sshe from machine 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.101 by doing ssh juan@192.168.1.101 BUT not by doing juan@177.84.106.253 -p443 (but YOU from the outside, so outside my router yes) | 00:53 |
| yanick_ | ok, found my solution (weird, though) http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-98071.html | 00:53 |
| nulldev | dominoe Ive port scanned 177.84.106.253 from 2 different locations now and both blocked so its your firewall/router | 00:54 |
| dominoe | most ports are blocked | 00:54 |
| dominoe | but 443 and 5900 are open | 00:54 |
| nulldev | all your ports are blocked | 00:55 |
| V3NG3NC3678 | what is ubuntu-offchat channel again? | 00:55 |
| dominoe | i dont control that | 00:55 |
| dominoe | its my provider | 00:55 |
| nulldev | so if youve need external access you need it open | 00:55 |
| dominoe | uhum thats why i use 443 which is open | 00:55 |
| nulldev | ok so you want to tunnel over 443? | 00:56 |
| dominoe | so if you get the password prompt by ssh juan@177.84.106.253 -p443 its ok | 00:56 |
| dominoe | i did | 00:56 |
| === zz_cornfeed is now known as cornfeed | ||

| ceti331 | hi, can ubuntu detect 2-finger pinch gestures and use them for triggering actions like expo ( thats the exact feature i'm after) | 00:57 |
| dominoe | uhum its done | 00:57 |
| ceti331 | ... or 2-finger rotate gesture for desktop switching (rotate-cube :) ) | 00:58 |
| nulldev | dominoe from what youve said your trying to forward ssh (out) on port 443 https yeah? | 00:58 |
| nulldev | to get round a firewall? | 00:58 |
| dominoe | i just told the router to forward port 443 to port 22 on the internal machine 192.168.1.101 | 00:59 |
| clock | I have a monitor connected by 5x BNC cable so the automatic detection of monitor resolution cannot work by principle. The maximum offered is 1024x768 which is too low fo rme to work with. My monitor supports 1600x1200x85 Hz. I looked into the "display devices" but didn't find any option to enter the resolution 1600x1200x85 Hz manually. Is there such an option? | 00:59 |
| dominoe | to be able to ssh to my house | 00:59 |

| chaos_zero | flush | 01:01 |
| chaos_zero | or something like that | 01:01 |
| dominoe | youre scanning what ports on what IP address? | 01:01 |
| craigbass1976 | dominoe, are you on dsl? don't forget to punch a hole through the modem too. | 01:01 |
| nulldev | as they respond locally ok but not externally shows its your network or routing | 01:01 |
| dominoe | Im on pppoe | 01:01 |
| chaos_zero | i did that and now the entire network is screwed up and all the ports are blinking like crazy and no traffic will go through | 01:01 |
| chaos_zero | if their some way to restore the router before the flush>? | 01:02 |

| dominoe | I dont know whY I cannot use the external ip to ssh from the inside | 01:05 |
| dominoe | but I dont care anyways | 01:06 |
| dominoe | as long as it workd from inside with the internal ip ots ok | 01:06 |
| nulldev | paste your ip tables to paste bin | 01:06 |

| nulldev | clock lol not for along time (resoloution) It dont even exist in most distros anymore defo not Ubuntu after 8.04 | 01:11 |
| clock | looks like I have to edit it | 01:11 |

| Mckayknight | Hi all, I'm of need of some help. I have a huge problem I wanted to reinstall Ubuntu 12.04 from a fresh install while encrypting my home folder. After a while the install hanged or stalled and now I can't tell if part of my partition is damaged and can't be deleted. | 01:12 |
| nulldev | clock Ive never had to edit it Slackware, Gentoo so whats up? | 01:12 |
| jiohdi | clock, what are you trying to do | 01:13 |
| clock | I have a monitor connected by BNC. BNC carries only picture signal, no configuration signal | 01:13 |
| clock | So the PC cannot read out which modes the monitor supports | 01:13 |
| clock | I would appreciate if modes could be entered manually in the graphical configuration tool | 01:14 |
| clock | Not just selection from a fixed list | 01:14 |
| nulldev | clock can you not connect via serial? | 01:14 |
| clock | no | 01:14 |
| dominoe | ok one more test please can someone do : "ssh -p 443 juan@177.84.106.253" and tell me if the see the password prompt? | 01:14 |
| clock | Its a special long (many meters) flat cable which fits behind furniture | 01:14 |

| tking | pls anything i can do to improve battery life? i have dual OS, on windows my battery lasts for 4hours while Ubuntu only last 2hrs | 01:16 |
| nulldev | he needs the tty | 01:16 |
| MonkeyDust | so it's ATI | 01:16 |
| dominoe | Btw, i am testing ssh connection on the same computer by giving my external IP. does it matter? | 01:17 |
| MonkeyDust | dominoe try 127.0.0.1 as IP | 01:17 |
| clock | tking, is it battery life while being used or while being idle? | 01:17 |
| dominoe | that works | 01:18 |
| tking | clock while being used | 01:18 |
| dominoe | also ssh 192.168.1.101 works | 01:18 |
| clock | tking, can you first determine the typical CPU usage under Windows and under Linux? | 01:18 |
| dominoe | but thats cause im in the network | 01:18 |
| dominoe | id like to try with the external ip | 01:18 |
| clock | under Linux the top command for example | 01:18 |
| clock | under Windows there a graph for it | 01:18 |
| dominoe | Depends on the router. The only reliable way to test is | 01:18 |
| dominoe | from outside your network. | 01:18 |
| nulldev | windows 2>&1 /dev/null | 01:19 |
| clock | tking, if the CPU load is 2x more under Linux then it may be the cause | 01:19 |
| tking | clock, determin how? | 01:19 |
| clock | tking, do you know how to run commands in Ubuntu? | 01:19 |
| nulldev | no cpu works harder under Linux than windows unless is something m$ asp etc | 01:20 |
| filosofix | I know this probably is a google chrome issue, but does anyone else experienced the chrome trying to start the webcam and becoming slower (hanging every 5 second) ? If I unplug the webcam I have no issue... | 01:20 |
| tking | yes, but dont know command to check battery, pls advice | 01:20 |
| jthan | filosofix: Why would chrome be trying to start your camera? | 01:20 |
| tking | clock, i do know some basics like sudo apt-get .... | 01:20 |
| nulldev | filosofix you might have a rootkit run chkrootkit and rkhunter | 01:21 |
| jthan | tking: Under linux you can use the "top" or "htop" command to check your CPU usage. | 01:21 |
| filosofix | jthan : I do not know, but the webcam start blinking when chrome starts | 01:21 |
| clock | tking, yes so run command "top" and it will display CPU usage, even divided by process name | 01:21 |
| jthan | filosofix: I don't think it's a chrome bug, but perhaps you have a plugin or website open that is trying to use it? | 01:21 |
| rattatoue | I have a Logitech C210 webcam, its not being detected when Ubuntu starts. I have to unplug it and plug it back in like 5 times just to get it to start being detected by ubuntu for some reason. Then when it finally gets detected. It does this http://pastebin.com/yuyfVe8b and then crashes my wireless in the process. Anyone know why this is? | 01:21 |
| jrdnn | tking: Run powertop and follow suggestions for decreasing wakeupes | 01:21 |
| clock | tking, I would suggest watching this while doing your typical work | 01:21 |
| dominoe | so I did forwarded the 443 port of the external IP to port 22 on the ssh server in the internal machine and need someone to tell me if sshing into the external IP works (cause from hte inside for me it does nto if I use that IP). So anyone can tell me if they get to the password promt heby doing: "ssh 177.84.106.253 -p443" | 01:21 |
| clock | tking, do you watch Youtube videos a lot? | 01:22 |
| filosofix | jthan I have removed the settings in .config/google-chrome and reinstalled chrome, but it does not help | 01:22 |
| filosofix | chromium and firefox has no issue | 01:22 |
| jthan | tking: If it is easier to keep track of you could configure conky | 01:22 |
| tking | clock, not really, but i work on designing web page and learning c++, | 01:22 |
| filosofix | nulldev : I will check.. thanks | 01:23 |
| nulldev | dominoe none of my port scans are getting through | 01:23 |
| jrdnn | dominoe: It works | 01:23 |
| jthan | filosofix: Not sure. | 01:23 |
| clock | tking, I would check the CPU usage | 01:23 |
| clock | tking, and the brightness of display is identical under Linux and Windows? | 01:23 |
| rattatoue | dominoe: it works here also | 01:23 |
| dominoe | great jrdnn thanks youre the 2nd who confirmed, nulldev you were making me doubt | 01:23 |
| dominoe | thans rattaroue | 01:23 |
| nulldev | dominoe your problem is at your network | 01:24 |
| tking | clock yes, brightnes is identical, i do more stuff requiring cpu and memory on windows than on linux | 01:24 |
| dominoe | as long as loging in fron the outside works Im happy | 01:24 |
| filosofix | nulldev : chkrootkit finds a suspicious file in the oracle-java-installer by web8team... | 01:24 |

| dominoe | thanks guys good night ! | 01:24 |
| nulldev | dominoe Id have been in by now if it wasnt ;) | 01:24 |
| jrdnn | dominoe: Good night | 01:25 |
| dominoe | nulldev try this port scanner, you might like it: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ | 01:26 |

| nulldev | dominoe I use nmap no need for 3rd party | 01:27 |
| dominoe | seems nmap is failing from where do u use it? | 01:27 |
| nulldev | dominoe from 2 diff locations one a web server no | 01:27 |
| dominoe | strange :) | 01:28 |

| tking | clock, jthan, jrdnn don't know if anyone can come do some settings for me using teamviewer just asking pls i dont want to mess with ubuntu cos i hv re-installed 4 times in just 1month | 01:28 |
| nulldev | filosofix yeah you can ignore them its Java | 01:28 |
| dominoe | dont know why it fails you cant really help there | 01:28 |
| filosofix | nulldev : great... my pulse jumped a second or two there :D | 01:29 |
| filosofix | nulldev : I guess its a chrome issue then? | 01:29 |
| nulldev | filosofix Linux isnt as secure as windows is, your locked in /home/you you cant touch root | 01:30 |
| clock | tking, because of the battery eating? | 01:30 |
| nulldev | insecure* | 01:30 |
| filosofix | nulldev : not as secure :D had me wondering there for a second :D | 01:31 |
| tking | clock yes pls, i cant understand the powertop i ran cos i dont understand yet too much on ubuntu, hving too many probs as a novice :) | 01:31 |
| filosofix | nulldev : I only install a few things from ppa's that I trust.. the rest from official repos... | 01:31 |
| nulldev | filosofix you should be ok then but always check sum, scan before and after | 01:32 |
| filosofix | nulldev : It happened after the last update. I'm not sure if chrome got updated then or not.. will check tomorrow, now its long past bedtime in norway :) Thanks for your help. | 01:33 |
| kristenbcg | If I intercept all packets in input, and send their content through a raw socket destined to myself, will they be intercepted again ? What about output/prerouting/postrouting ? | 01:33 |

| Alexis15 | when i start xchat | 01:46 |

| Alexis15 | i registered in ##linux channe, and now i wish to login to that channel i tried /msg NickServ login but nothing lol | 01:48 |
| jimi_ | jrdnn, yeah, i dont wanna compile though, right? mixing source and packages? | 01:48 |
| nulldev | alexis15 bazhing is doing what I mdo worst expect ppl know | 01:49 |
| jrdnn | jimi: Sorry, unless there's a PPA for it I think compiling is the only way | 01:49 |
| Alexis15 | i understand, but today is my first day on linux, and i have a LOT of questions about linux, but i can't ask them if i cant type. | 01:49 |
| Alexis15 | so i need to know what the command is to simply login with the information i registered with | 01:50 |
| nulldev | why not build a deb src and contribute | 01:50 |
| bazhang | Alexis15, indeed, and the channel for xchat questions would be #xchat , /join #xchat | 01:50 |
| nulldev | and dont forget compiles usually dont have uncompiles | 01:50 |
| Alexis15 | i understand you want me to go to another chat and ask in xchat, but then i would need to register with xchat channel, login with it, ask the question, and then login with linux, and ask questions there, and since i'm only asking for 1 simple command that takes less than 10 seconsd to type | 01:51 |
| bazhang | Alexis15, you dont need to register with individual channels | 01:51 |
| Alexis15 | it would be much easier if someone just told me the command. this is ubuntu chat after all, since it's the landing place for xchat, i assume it's a very general chat, and has no "specific" topic. Xchat is a program ran by ubunto, the OS i'm using, and should be on topic specially a question as simple as this lol | 01:51 |
| jrdnn | Alexis15: /msg NickServ identify password | 01:52 |
| Alexis15 | thanks :D | 01:52 |
| bazhang | Alexis15, its not a single command to add a channel to xchat | 01:52 |
| SpacMan | You are already signed into the freenode server with the name Alexix15, simply type "/join #xchat" in this window and it will open the other room. | 01:52 |
| Alexis15 | nope, i had to do the command jrdnn told me | 01:52 |

| Guest39970 | I have used dban to fix corrupted disks. It wipes the drive. This means that EVERYTHING would be erased beyond recovery. | 02:20 |
| Guest39970 | But if the hard disk is truly damaged, then forget it. | 02:20 |
| Guest39970 | You use it the same way that you would use any other Linux live CD. | 02:21 |
| databack | hello. I just DL'd Ubuntu and I'm wanting to learn BASH commands. What is the best way to learn BASH? | 02:21 |
| Zwick | Ok, so I did the md5 for my 12.04 install, it isn't corrupted, I'm still having issues with my install. | 02:21 |
| Zwick | I hit install, I get a stream of text, and then it hangs @ a black screen. | 02:21 |
| Zwick | I never see any graphics afterwards. | 02:21 |
| nikecru666 | Guest39970 well, how can I fix the entire disk? like, deleting everyting, i already did my back up | 02:21 |

| Anxi80 | lspci: VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600] | 02:22 |
| Guest39970 | nikecru666: You could create a restore disk for Vista, back everything up, dban the hard drive, and then start over. | 02:23 |
| Guest39970 | dban wipes the disk. | 02:23 |

| Alexis15 | i looked up guides online, but they jsut say to type commands, but i cant type ANYTHING | 02:25 |
| Alexis15 | so the guides are not helping | 02:25 |
| Loshki | nikecru666: in your place, I'd download and run the manufacturers disk diagnostics. Then you'll know if your disk is good. Do you know the disk model number? | 02:25 |
| Alexis15 | is anyone here | 02:26 |
| Guest39970 | Go to www.dban.org | 02:26 |
| Guest39970 | click on downloads, and then when it is finished, burn it to a CD. Just like you did with Ubuntu. | 02:27 |
| Guest39970 | Boot from the dban disk, and then it will erase everything. | 02:27 |

| Alexis15 | ya but | 02:29 |
| Alexis15 | im suer all you know how to use vi | 02:29 |
| Alexis15 | your just ignoring me | 02:29 |
| Alexis15 | im assuming its like a 5 second answer | 02:29 |
| judget | so is your question specifically abpout how to use the vi editor? | 02:29 |
| Alexis15 | my question is abotu how to use a program ran in ubuntu | 02:30 |
| Alexis15 | a very common program | 02:30 |
| Alexis15 | not even that | 02:30 |
| Alexis15 | i can look up guides on how to use it | 02:30 |
| Alexis15 | i just dont understand why it says to use commands in the guide when i can't type ANYTHING | 02:30 |
| Alexis15 | so the guide is worthless | 02:30 |
| Alexis15 | i cant even exit vim | 02:30 |
| judget | maybe if you start at the beginning I can try to help u | 02:30 |
| tj_ | Alexis15, strange sounds like your not doing anything wrong | 02:31 |
| Alexis15 | id have to close the terminal to get back to the cli | 02:31 |
| pingcasts | Alexis15: :q to exit vi | 02:31 |
| Alexis15 | what is :q | 02:31 |
| tj_ | from cmd mode (default mode) you just hit :q to quit | 02:31 |
| Alexis15 | do i literallty type :q? | 02:31 |
| pingcasts | a colon and then a q | 02:31 |
| pingcasts | yes | 02:31 |
| Alexis15 | ok well i can't type ANYTHING | 02:31 |
| Alexis15 | all i see is a bunch of ~ lines | 02:31 |
| pingcasts | the colon enters command mode | 02:31 |
| pingcasts | and you'll see the text at the bottom of the screen | 02:31 |
| Alexis15 | i see :q | 02:32 |
| Alexis15 | and i press enter | 02:32 |
| pingcasts | that's where you can tell the text editor to do something | 02:32 |
| Alexis15 | but nothing happens | 02:32 |
| judget | I always forget how to use vi manytimes i use nano buit here is a handy vi guide that I have kept bookmarked for myself | 02:32 |

| pingcasts | Jon--: just pulseaudio from the runbox or cli | 02:33 |
| pingcasts | databack: it takes some getting used to | 02:34 |
| Loshki | nikecru666: ok. Just be aware that if the hard disk itself is malfunctioning, it won't matter how much you clean it... | 02:34 |
| Jon-- | pingcasts, yes, though I used the -k flag. Without it same deal | 02:34 |
| Guest39970 | I mentioned that earlier. | 02:34 |
| Jon-- | [Ubuntu autmoatically restarts it if you kill it, at least it did on 11.10] | 02:34 |
| Jon-- | Whereas if you run it and its running it just complains and errors out. | 02:35 |

| tinkster | how do I make this work? | 03:41 |
| akr | ok I guess the sections in Unity are called 'lens'? So I guess I can remove the video one, but I would like to keep it and just remove all the online video content and instead have it replaced where video applications go | 03:42 |
| tinkster | set-up is quite straightforward ... | 03:43 |
| tinkster | /etc/network/interfaces | 03:43 |
| tinkster | auto eth0 | 03:43 |
| akr | and when you open up the Dash it just says 'Installed' So no way in the Dash to make sections and have the applications placed there? | 03:43 |

| Sosumi | and know if things like the kb backlight and webcam work | 03:50 |
| dj_segfault | ds_: I do that. What you do is copy an image to some name you standardize on, like current_wallpaper.jpg, and set that to your wallpaer. Then set up a cron job to copy over that file with a different image every hour. When you overwrite the file, the wallpaper will change. | 03:50 |

| tinkster | glitsj16, yah, I happened across that. most of it is of interest for static networking | 03:55 |
| tinkster | dhcp should "just work" | 03:55 |
| tinkster | only it doesn't ... | 03:55 |
| gaelfx | is it possible to add a USB.ID to a module so that that module will load when the USB device is plugged in? | 03:55 |
| xangua | ki4ro: the hud is for acces the active window menu entries, you can also use indicator menu entries | 03:55 |
| john__ | When I connect to my VPN my time bar occasionally pops up, I think. | 03:55 |
| tr3nton | !hud | 03:55 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS includes the first step in a major new approach to application interfaces, the Head-Up Display, or HUD, which will ultimately replace menus in Unity applications. See http://ubottu.com/y/hud for the background on this and discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:55 |
| tinkster | getting quite annoyed ... resorted to cyclically cat-ting a known good resolv.conf over the symlinled dynamically created file from cron | 03:56 |
| john__ | Is someone trying to find my timezone? | 03:56 |
| tinkster | no pretty | 03:56 |
| ki4ro | xangua: I don't understand...sorry | 03:56 |
| xangua | ki4ro: acces active window menu entries | 03:56 |
| ki4ro | xangua: You mean if I have Firefox open I can do things with it from HUD? | 03:57 |
| gaelfx | so that's a no then, eh? | 03:59 |
| akr | any Unity pros around that can tell me if I can organize the applications into sections, typical of what you find on a menu, Graphics, Office, Internet, Multimedia, etc...? | 03:59 |
| glitsj16 | tinkster: can't say that i grasp all the changes, personally i took out dnsmasq and all returned to 'normal' | 03:59 |
| tinkster | glitsj16, I did that, too ... no difference | 04:01 |
| tinkster | I just don't consider the behaviour of the boxen "normal" | 04:01 |
| tr3nton | akr, in the applications lens, there is a filter button | 04:02 |
| tr3nton | top right hand corner | 04:02 |
| ki4ro | Does anyone understand HUD? For example, if I type Terminal in HUD it has no idea what I want???? | 04:02 |
| tinkster | f*ck, if I had seen such behaviour on a linux machine ~ 16 years ago I wouldn't be making bread using Linux these days | 04:02 |
| xangua | (22:57:40) ki4ro: xangua: You mean if I have Firefox open I can do things with it from HUD? - you can acces firefox menu entries | 04:03 |
| tr3nton | ki4ro: hud isn't for finding applications | 04:03 |
| Loshki | gaelfx: I think it can be done via udev, dunno the details though... | 04:03 |
| sinusss | okay, i think the Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS is painful... | 04:03 |
| akr | tr3nton: I'm not talking about filtering results but instead, when you open the Dash you have it divided up into sections | 04:03 |
| sinusss | i will be doing LAMP stuff - what is the recommended release for me? | 04:03 |
| ki4ro | tr3nton: Okay. How is that easier/better than accessing them from the application? | 04:04 |
| tr3nton | ki4ro: don't know, I still use the menu's my pointing my mouse at them | 04:05 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| ki4ro | tr3nton: Yeah, me too. LOL Can't figure out what I can do with it or why it was written, hence the query | 04:06 |
| akr | the filter results also don't work well, you click one, it's still highlighted so when you click another one you don't get anything, I have to always click All then to the section I want | 04:06 |
| === cornfeed is now known as zz_cornfeed | ||
| tr3nton | ki4ro: I guess sometimes you don't know which menu list something lives in, and in that case, may be easier to find via searching.. | 04:07 |
| ki4ro | tr3nton: Think I'll go google it and see what its supposed purpose is...if I find anything interesting I'll let you know | 04:07 |
| tr3nton | ki4ro: did you read marks intro to it? http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/939 | 04:07 |
| ki4ro | tr3nton: I will now | 04:08 |
| Balask | have people had a lot of success with PlayOnLinux? | 04:08 |
| dr_willis | depends on the windows app Balask | 04:09 |
| Balask | I'm trying COD 4 MW now but I was also hoping to try Steam and Starcraft: Broodwars. What applications have you had issues with Dr. Willis? | 04:10 |
| tr3nton | akr: Check out this lens: http://askubuntu.com/a/86476/50523 | 04:12 |
| dr_willis | if i want games i boot to windows. i use wine to run a few utils. | 04:12 |
| tr3nton | akr: maybe that's what you are after | 04:12 |
| devslash | I was checking /etc/passwd and there's a user listed called whoopsie which I didn't create. Does anyone know what that is and if it's safe to delete | 04:13 |
| ki4ro | tr3nton: Well, thanks to you, I scanned the article and find that, for me, pointing and clicking is a helluva lot easier LOL Many thnks | 04:13 |
| kaya | guys need to how does the guest user in ubuntu 11.10 lost ma copied files after restarting | 04:14 |
| ki4ro | *thanks | 04:14 |
| bairui | hi | 04:14 |
| ghostchick | devslash, it is an user created by and for the whoopsie daemon( a crash debugging information daemon) | 04:14 |
| bairui | can someone confirm my messages are getting through to the channel? | 04:14 |
| ki4ro | bairui: We see you | 04:15 |
| bairui | thank you | 04:15 |
| Balask | bairui: I also see you | 04:15 |
| devslash | Ghostchick so I take it that I ought a leave it alone | 04:15 |
| bairui | :) | 04:15 |
| ghostchick | devslash, yup | 04:16 |
| ghostchick | kaya, where you using the guest account? | 04:16 |
| bairui | ok, i asked an empathy question earlier and didn't get a response. I notice my client calls the room #ubuntu-unregged and wondered if that was a cryptic way of telling me I lacked regs to talk. | 04:16 |
| akr | tr3nton: I'm trying to figure out if the Dash can have category/sections like your typical KDE/Gnome menu has, Office, Internet, Multimedia, etc., not looking to have a lens but have this thing categorized and not using the Filters either to find things. Seems really odd no one ever put everything into sections when you opened it, or like the sections listed at the bottom showing the musical note, home etc, could be created then into the categories to arrange it | 04:16 |
| bairui | akr: if you click the second button in at the bottom of the dash (Applications) and the top-right hand Filter Results pop-out... is that what you want? | 04:18 |
| devslash | Ghostchick I've removed the extra mysql users, installed a firewall (shorewall) and use SSH but disabled password authentication and use keys. Is there anything else I should do to secure my install of ubuntu? | 04:18 |
| dr_willis | you can add classic gnome menus to unity if you want also. | 04:18 |
| ghostchick | devslash, reduce the number of daemons runnning, change the encryption of the root password, block unused ttys(not an expert on security though) | 04:19 |
| Balask | is there a good active antivirus and firewall to use on Ubuntu? | 04:20 |
| devslash | Ghostchick I use a fairly complex password for my main account | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | !firewall | 04:20 |
| 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. | 04:20 |
| akr | bairui: no and I'll take a screen shot and hack it up and show you and everyone what I've been asking for the last hour that no one seems to get LOL | 04:20 |
| ghostchick | devslash, i meant the encryption itself not the password | 04:20 |
| * akr bangs head | 04:21 | |
| Balask | okay then | 04:21 |
| tr3nton | akr: do you need the medic? | 04:21 |
| devslash | I don't think I. Set a root password. Is logging in as root disabled? | 04:21 |
| akr | maybe soon | 04:21 |
| akr | LOL | 04:21 |
| bairui | akr: a picture's worth a thousand headaches, as they say | 04:21 |
| akr | hang tight, installing gimp | 04:21 |
| MonkeyDust | !root| devslash | 04:22 |
| ubottu | devslash: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:22 |
| lrh9 | Can I setup a multi-boot system without having Windows installed, but have a logical partition in case I want to install it later? All the tutorials expect Windows to be the first logical partition and the boot partion to do chain loading. | 04:22 |
| MonkeyDust | lrh9 it's because windows ruins GRUB, if you install it after linux | 04:23 |
| lrh9 | Overwrites the MBR? | 04:23 |
| MonkeyDust | lrh9 you have to repair grub, is what i mean | 04:23 |
| lrh9 | So it's possible. | 04:24 |
| MonkeyDust | lrh9 technically, maybe, yes | 04:24 |
| MonkeyDust | but i guess nobody has ever tried what you want to do | 04:25 |
| lrh9 | I could just reinstall everything if I ever want to install Windows. | 04:25 |
| jhickey | Recently got a R820 from DELL quad socket (8 core) server with 512GB of RAM. Pretty much a beast. We were planning on running a vary large DB on the system using Ubuntu as the OS. 12.04 will not load. | 04:25 |
| jhickey | anyone played with / had issue with R820? | 04:26 |
| lrh9 | MonkeyDust, don't we still have to do some configuration on GRUB? | 04:26 |
| jhickey | correction 12.04 will LOAD but on first boot the server hangs and will restart | 04:27 |
| jhickey | after a few reboots it will eventually panic | 04:27 |
| jhickey | always in a different part of the post process | 04:27 |
| lrh9 | I guess not if we run update-grub... | 04:28 |

| jsoft | Is oracle java available in the normal sources? | 04:34 |
| zykotick9 | !java | jsoft | 04:34 |
| ubottu | jsoft: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 04:34 |
| InHisName | anyone know how to UNfreeze the Dash Home button on unity? Nothing happens when I click it. Everything else seems ok. | 04:36 |
| kingjames90 | when i upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 will there be compatability with stuff I have? Like will all my files and folder still work on new? | 04:37 |
| jthan | kingjames90: Should - but it's always recommended that you backup your files before upgrading. | 04:38 |
| zykotick9 | kingjames90: fyi you'd need to update twice. 11.04 -> 11.10 then 11.10 -> 12.04 beware... | 04:38 |
| kingjames90 | jthan thanks! | 04:38 |
| kingjames90 | oh i see | 04:38 |
| jthan | kingjames90: Always a pleasure. Ask away if you hit any more snags | 04:39 |
| Alexis15 | i have a snag too can you help me | 04:39 |
| jthan | What snag might that be? | 04:39 |
| Alexis15 | please i promise im not being lazy just im new to linux and the guides dont seem to apply to me | 04:39 |
| jthan | Ask a question. I'll see what I can do for you. | 04:40 |
| Alexis15 | well, i thought id try linux.. so i installed ubunto 12.04 lts and uninstalled windows 7 from my laptop | 04:40 |
| jthan | Good choice. Continue. | 04:40 |
| Alexis15 | i got apache2 working.. i can go to local host and see my code.... others cant see it even tho i port fowarded port 80 | 04:40 |
| Alexis15 | thats snag 1 | 04:40 |
| Alexis15 | then i downloed php5, mysql-server, mysql-navigator, and phpymyadmin | 04:40 |
| b_ | hi | 04:40 |
| Alexis15 | i had to do something with a config to make phpmyadmin work, basicly i had to change hosts to 127.0.1 or something like that i dotn remember exactly | 04:41 |
| Alexis15 | but it works | 04:41 |
| jthan | Alexis15: So. You'll have to forward ports on your router to your computer, but most times your ISP will block port 80 so you'll have to find another that is open. | 04:41 |
| Alexis15 | but i cant login to phpymyadmin. thats snag 2 | 04:41 |
| b_ | goodbye | 04:41 |
| Alexis15 | i fowared port 80 | 04:41 |
| Alexis15 | i had to do it for my ps3 | 04:41 |
| akr | ok boys & girls this is what I mean Categories in Dash; ---> http://i.imgur.com/Ta3tH.png | 04:41 |
| Alexis15 | so it was already fowarded | 04:41 |
| jthan | But if it was forwarded to the IP address of your PS3, people won't be able to reach your computer. | 04:42 |
| akr | In that screen the Email, Internet, Office, can I make something like that in Dash? | 04:42 |
| jthan | They'll be able to reach your PS3 | 04:42 |
| Alexis15 | isnt my ps3 and computer on the same ip? | 04:42 |
| jthan | They have the same external IP address, but they have different internal IP addresses assigned by your router. So, for example, your PS3 might be 10.0.1.8 while your server is 10.0.1.9 | 04:43 |
| xscc | o | 04:43 |
| Alexis15 | ill take a look... do you know the ip thing for the router off the top of your head i always forget | 04:43 |
| Alexis15 | 192.168.0.1? | 04:43 |
| jthan | What kind of router? | 04:43 |
| jthan | 192.168.1.1 is common | 04:43 |
| Alexis15 | wow cnat beleive i remebd | 04:43 |
| Alexis15 | it worked :D | 04:43 |
| Alexis15 | ok | 04:44 |
| jthan | ;-) | 04:44 |
| Alexis15 | the local ipaddress for port 80 is 192.168.0.99 | 04:44 |
| jthan | Right - so that's your PS3 if you already forwarded it. On your linux machine type "ifconfig" to find the IP of that box. | 04:44 |
| jthan | Just make sure you're looking at the right interface. | 04:44 |
| Alexis15 | should i use the cli? | 04:45 |
| Alexis15 | the terminal? | 04:45 |
| InHisName | akr: I just type stuff in until the icon shows and then I click it. | 04:45 |
| jthan | Yes - sorry. | 04:45 |
| Alexis15 | No command 'ipconfig' found, did you mean: | 04:46 |
| Alexis15 | Command 'tpconfig' from package 'tpconfig' (universe) | 04:46 |
| Alexis15 | Command 'iwconfig' from package 'wireless-tools' (main) | 04:46 |
| Alexis15 | Command 'ifconfig' from package 'net-tools' (main) | 04:46 |
| FloodBot1 | Alexis15: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:46 |
| InHisName | Alexis15: ifconfig | 04:46 |
| Alexis15 | inet addr:192.168.0.11 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | 04:47 |
| Alexis15 | ok | 04:47 |
| Alexis15 | so 11? | 04:47 |
| jthan | Alexis15: Yes - 192.168.0.11 | 04:47 |
| Alexis15 | okkk | 04:49 |
| Alexis15 | so now to connect to this website via another computer | 04:49 |
| Alexis15 | i type my ip | 04:49 |
| Alexis15 | the one found on whatsmyip.com | 04:49 |
| Alexis15 | correct? | 04:49 |
| jthan | Right. | 04:49 |
| FloodBot1 | Alexis15: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:49 |
| Alexis15 | *crosses fingers* | 04:50 |
| Alexis15 | WOW | 04:50 |
| Alexis15 | it works!!!!! | 04:50 |
| Alexis15 | woot | 04:50 |
| akr | InHisName: you mean you do a search? | 04:51 |
| barfer | u guys know if i can extract ubuntu install from .iso to an partition and make it start from grub ? (usb and cd wont boot the install for ubuntu 12.04) | 04:51 |
| akr | so there's no way to create categories like the screen shot? | 04:52 |
| jthan | Alexis15: ;-) Just a little experience and you'll be okay | 04:52 |
| InferiorHuman | can someone tell me why this script won't work on my android phone but it works if I run the command manually? http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/c8484087432cbb9b00074e2e000ea472/4ff51d56/1/0/3/9/5/8/9/07sdspeedfix.txt | 04:52 |
| InHisName | yes, it is kinda like a search of the icons | 04:52 |
| jthan | InferiorHuman: Wrong channel to be asking. | 04:52 |
| InHisName | or of their names | 04:52 |
| InferiorHuman | jthan, why? its still linux :-P | 04:52 |
| jthan | But this is #ubuntu. | 04:52 |
| jthan | not #linux | 04:52 |
| InferiorHuman | someone can answer me if they wish though. | 04:53 |
| jthan | Alexis15: On to the next issue? | 04:53 |
| akr | seems kind of odd since most of use starting out in computing came from systems with Menus that had categories now Unity Dash comes along and now no more categories, really odd and poor design | 04:53 |
| InHisName | I type "syste" and in the first line of icons is System Monitor. Like windows task mgr. | 04:53 |
| Alexis15 | yes, if you're not tired of me already lol | 04:53 |
| Alexis15 | i have a feeling this next one is going to be crazy hard | 04:53 |
| xangua | akr: it has categories | 04:53 |
| jthan | barfer: Try the alternate install CD? | 04:53 |
| jthan | Alexis15: Ask and we'll see what we can do. If nothing else I can probably help you find proper documentation | 04:53 |
| Alexis15 | ok, ill tell you the story of what i did just for clarity... | 04:54 |
| akr | xangua: not like this it doesn't --- http://i.imgur.com/Ta3tH.png | 04:54 |
| Alexis15 | ill start by saying im kinda a wannabe web developer. i have friends who ive know for about 2 yeras now, and they have taught me php, sql, css, html, and some JS... so i understand phpmyadmin, cpanel, and the basics of creatign a website | 04:54 |
| jthan | Nothing wrong with that. | 04:55 |
| tr3nton | akr: why exactly do you want it like that? | 04:55 |
| barfer | jthan: its like my pc wont start from usb only give me error "Boot error" and goes no futher than that i've tryed the Desktop and mini .iso ,what is different with alternate ? | 04:56 |
| Alexis15 | i downloaded phpmyadmin, and when it asked i gave it my username and password... the problem is i "guess" is it went into a folder that wasn't where it should "i guess", so my friends had me edit the... i THINK it was /etc/drdt.e/hosts or something like that the drdt.e is clearly wrong | 04:56 |
| akr | tr3nton: because if you opened Dash, think about it for a few seconds, then it's going to be like your typical menu category layout which is easier to scroll through looking at the sections to find apps based on those sections just like a Gnome or KDE menu... | 04:56 |
| jthan | I am not entirely sure, to be honest. I just know some machines prefer it. You are certain your motherboard supports booting from USB? | 04:56 |
| Alexis15 | i edited that file, and added phpmyadmin 127.0.1.0 or something like that, so NOW i can go to http://phpmyadmin | 04:56 |
| Alexis15 | and the login promt will come up, and thats where im at. they said i cant login probly becasue of a config error, and then my friend got tired and went to sleep and thas where im kidna stuck | 04:56 |
| Alexis15 | actually it may have been host.conf | 04:57 |
| Alexis15 | that i edited | 04:57 |
| akr | tr3nton: so can Dash be made to look like that? | 04:57 |
| Alexis15 | what i'd like is to make it where i can go to http//myip/phpmyadmin | 04:57 |
| jthan | Alexis15: k. Bear with me for a second. | 04:58 |
| jthan | Alexis15: do you know where your phpmyadmin config file is? Is it in /etc/phpmyadmin? | 04:58 |
| Alexis15 | ill take a look | 04:58 |
| Alexis15 | advance420@test2:~$ ls /etc/phpmyadmin | 04:59 |
| Alexis15 | apache.conf config.footer.inc.php config.inc.php lighttpd.conf phpmyadmin.service | 04:59 |
| Alexis15 | config-db.php config.header.inc.php htpasswd.setup phpmyadmin.desktop | 04:59 |
| Alexis15 | found it! | 04:59 |
| jthan | Alexis15: Right. So what I want you to do for me is type "cat config.inc.php" and paste the output at paste.ubuntu.com and then get me the link so I can check it out. The config.inc.php is just a sample - it does not contain any of your information. | 04:59 |
| jthan | Alexis15: no. I lied. | 05:00 |
| jthan | Don't do that. | 05:00 |
| InferiorHuman | can someone tell me why this script won't work on my android phone but it works if I run the command manually? http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/c8484087432cbb9b00074e2e000ea472/4ff51d56/1/0/3/9/5/8/9/07sdspeedfix.txt | 05:00 |
| barfer | i installed current ubuntu version with the same usb stick im trying to use now.. allready tryed unetbooin (win and nix) startup Disk creator and universal something witch was recomended from ubuntu.com ... i have some issue with another box i tryed the usb pen on but it says boot: vesamenu.c32 :not a com32 image .... there i tryed the live/help trick and replacing the vesamenu file and taking out UI in the syslinux.cfg ... and no | 05:00 |

| jthan | Alexis15: PM me your config file contents so I can look through it. | 05:01 |
| Alexis15 | hmm | 05:02 |
| InHisName | akr: don't know that one. I've never created new categories. | 05:02 |
| Alexis15 | i do /msg jthan and then what iw ant t osay? | 05:02 |
| barfer | so thats why im sortof giving up on usb and would like to try booting the install from onother partition with grub | 05:03 |
| InHisName | akr: the only category I used much was the 'everything' category. I just scrolled down to the first letter and manually searched. Uggh, typing 4-5 letters faster for me now. | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | akr: theres several classic-gnome-menu indicator applets out for unity. and one to add a classic like menu to the panel. askubuntu.com should hve a list of them | 05:03 |
| Alexis15 | jthan are you there | 05:03 |
| jthan | Alexis15: Yes - I'm talking in the PM | 05:03 |
| jthan | :-p | 05:03 |

| jalal | hey i am having problem in custmizer kit | 05:05 |
| jalal | plzzzz some body help me | 05:05 |
| johnnycakes | New install of 12.04, everything works great EXCEPT I can't click in the top-right corner of any maximized app... clicks seem to go straight through to the desktop. | 05:06 |
| jalal | i custmizing ubuntu with cutmizing kit..but in end it said something went wrong ..your filesystem size is big then isofile..plz reduce your size | 05:06 |
| johnnycakes | the little Close icon is there, but only about the left-most 3 pixels actually respond to a click.. everything else goes down to the desktop (if I right-click on the Close button then the desktop's right-click menu pops up) | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | jalal: so i imagine your filesystem cant be bigger then 700mb for a cd, or 4gb for aa dvd. | 05:07 |
| johnnycakes | Anyone have any experience with that issue? | 05:07 |
| jalal | i am making a live cd | 05:07 |
| jalal | so what is solution | 05:07 |
| jthan | johnnycakes: Not something I have ever heard of or experienced. Did you check the forums out? | 05:07 |
| dr_willis | so you added so much stuff its bigger then what will fit on a cd.. remove stuff. | 05:07 |
| johnnycakes | jthan, yup | 05:08 |
| jthan | johnnycakes: Alright. Give me a second. | 05:08 |
| johnnycakes | jthan, making a new account to post on ubuntuforums.org with (since my old account doesn't seem to work anymore) | 05:08 |

| jthan | johnnycakes: Go through this testcase and see if it applies please https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/880449 | 05:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 880449 in unity (Ubuntu Precise) "Window title bars are un-clickable" [High,Fix released] | 05:10 |
| jthan | Though these all say they're fixed. | 05:10 |
| dr_willis | released dosent mean its in the actual updates yet - i belive.. | 05:11 |
| johnnycakes | jthan, 193985 seems different than my issue (and is also unresolved hehe) but will check out 880449 | 05:11 |
| jthan | dr_willis: good to know. I haven't worked with LP in a LONG time | 05:11 |
| johnnycakes | jthan, 880449 is related to the same thing as 193985... thanks for tryin tho :D | 05:12 |
| jthan | Of course they are related, but did you try the test case? It could be a similar issue. | 05:12 |
| dr_willis | but i imagine if its been released - it sould be out in a few days. check the date the release was fixed perhaps] | 05:12 |
| jthan | dr_willis: Just looked for that with little success. Ha. | 05:12 |
| johnnycakes | jthan, my click-through problem is consistent, with every single window I maximize, regardless of whether anything has been minimized or not | 05:13 |
| johnnycakes | jthan, also it's only a small square in the top-right corner that covers most of the close button | 05:13 |
| johnnycakes | jthan, the menu bar (including the close button) work fine, but only the left-most part of the close button is clickable (when not maxed the whole close button works) | 05:14 |
| croz | Any Conky pros here? Nobody ever chats in #Conky. I'm trying to setup weather.xtsl (or whatever that extension is) and I get some errors. | 05:15 |
| johnnycakes | jthan, it's like there's a little 10x10px box floating in the top-right corner that's sending all clicks straight through to the desktop | 05:15 |
| jthan | johnnycakes: Yeah - I understand your description. Just don't know how to search for it anywhere. You are best to open up a forum post and maybe even file a bug if you can't find a resolution. Make sure to include your hardware specifics. | 05:16 |
| InHisName | croz: probably not, only a dozen or so paying attention. I'm still waiting for a unity die-hard to help me. | 05:16 |
| johnnycakes | jthan, yeah that's about the same conclusion I've reached... was hoping it was common enough that an IRC person might recognize it, despite it being a hard thing to google for | 05:16 |
| johnnycakes | jthan, thanks anyway :) | 05:17 |
| jthan | johnnycakes: Certainly. Sorry I couldn't do more. | 05:17 |
| johnnycakes | LOL now I'm trying to recover my password on the Ubuntu Forums... Random question I need to answer: "How many ears do most humans have?" I've tried "2" and "two" and with both it says the answer is incorrect!! rofl!! How many ears do you guys have?!? | 05:18 |
| jthan | Maybe they think you're deaf. | 05:19 |
| tr3nton | 3 | 05:19 |
| johnnycakes | deaf people still have two ears | 05:19 |

| GeekAdmin | Hi. How do you upgrade Ubuntu 9.04 to 12.04? I tried making a usb with startup disk creator but it wont boot. | 05:46 |
| BlueEagle | !conky | 05:46 |
| dr_willis | i recall some conky forum posts/threads. but i never use the fancy features of conky. | 05:47 |
| GeekAdmin | Can I upgrade from 9.04 to 12.04 from the terminal? | 05:47 |
| dr_willis | GeekAdmin: with some patience and luck. yes. but a clean install may be much faster and reliable | 05:47 |
| BlueEagle | GeekAdmin: Does 9.04 have the dist-upgrade command? | 05:47 |
| GeekAdmin | dr_willis: oh so I cant upgrade straight to 12.04? I'd have to upgrade each version? | 05:48 |
| dr_willis | !9.04 | 05:48 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 05:48 |
| dr_willis | GeekAdmin: staight... No... | 05:48 |

| kaya | V3NG3NC3678, english is my mother language am soory for that V3NG3NC3678 | 06:00 |
| spik3 | zykotick9: tried that goes to login page? | 06:00 |
| kaya | V3NG3NC3678, but am tried | 06:00 |
| zykotick9 | spik3: wow is all i can say. sorry, no suggestions. good luck. | 06:00 |
| hsunda3 | spik3, what does "sudo poweroff" do? Same thing? | 06:00 |
| shawnboy | how can i convert to M4V video. ffmpeg gives error. avidemux & handbrake dont support m4v. | 06:01 |
| zykotick9 | shawnboy: handbrake does m4v | 06:01 |
| spik3 | thanks zykotick9: hsunda3 will try that get back soon | 06:01 |
| hsunda3 | shawnboy, I am guessing you are probably missing a codec or two | 06:01 |
| bazhang | shawnboy, handbrake does so support it | 06:01 |
| kaya | V3NG3NC3678, would u help me for that case | 06:01 |
| shawnboy | i'll take another look... | 06:02 |
| bazhang | shawnboy, where did you install handbrake from | 06:02 |
| erol | hi, is serial port support enable in latest ubuntu ? cause when i try to connect on /dev/ttyS0 it says /dev/ttyS0 is not a terminal device ! | 06:02 |
| erol | i want to connect to bochs | 06:03 |
| BlueEagle | erol: If you look up /dev/ttys0, what does the node look like? | 06:03 |
| zykotick9 | shawnboy: handbrake is probably your best bet for mp4/m4v. the packages if default ubuntu repo can't use AAC codec for legal reasons - so ffmpeg/?avconf don't support mp4/m4v by default | 06:03 |
| shawnboy | bazhang, been so long i dont remember. i only see mp4 or mkv | 06:04 |
| erol | setserial -g /dev/ttyS0 answer /dev/ttyS0, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 | 06:04 |
| bazhang | zykotick9, its only in a PPA afaik | 06:04 |
| zykotick9 | bazhang: true | 06:04 |
| spik3 | hsunda3: are you there ? sudo poweroff works | 06:04 |
| bazhang | !info handbrake | 06:04 |
| ubottu | Package handbrake does not exist in precise | 06:04 |
| BlueEagle | erol: and are you a member of the dialout gruop? | 06:04 |
| shawnboy | bazhang, probably just apt-get | 06:04 |
| zykotick9 | shawnboy: mp4 = m4v | 06:04 |
| kaya | V3NG3NC3678, would u help me for that case | 06:04 |
| erol | mmh | 06:04 |
| hsunda3 | spik3, ok :) | 06:04 |
| erol | maybe not :) | 06:04 |
| hsunda3 | spik3, I believe in the latest Ubuntu they changed the way shutdown / halt works .. it doesn't actually "poweroff" which only "poweroff" does now | 06:05 |
| bazhang | shawnboy, no, its a PPA you would need to explicitly add | 06:05 |
| shawnboy | so i simply chang ext from mp4 to m4v and it's web M4V compatibleK | 06:05 |
| spik3 | How can I fix shut down to shut down hsunda3 | 06:06 |
| zykotick9 | shawnboy: in handbrake if you select mp4 it's gonna save it as an foo.m4v file | 06:06 |
| hsunda3 | spik3, that I am not qualified to answer .. are you running Unity? The GUI way to shut down should automatically power off too, doesn't it? | 06:06 |
| kaya | V3NG3NC3678, | 06:07 |
| shawnboy | zykotick9, seems i remember it doimg that when i expected mp4. thanks for reminder | 06:08 |
| spik3 | hsunda3: if you mean I go up to theshut down button and click shut down and all we go to is the login page | 06:08 |
| hsunda3 | spik3, that shouldn't be happening. I am guessing it is happening because you upgraded, as opposed to a clean install. I guess you could file a bug? For now your best option is probably "sudo poweroff" via a terminal till someone offers a better suggestion | 06:09 |
| spik3 | hsunda3: thanks for that I will keep asking around thank for your help | 06:10 |
| aristidesfl | shouldn't my home directory be restricted by default to other users? drwxr-xr-x 34 user user 4096 Jul 5 04:31 user | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | aristidesfl: not by default that ive noticed | 06:19 |
| aristidesfl | dr_willis interesting...... | 06:20 |
| dr_willis | lightdm/gdm and other dms can read some files from your users homes | 06:20 |
| dr_willis | for login icons and other things | 06:20 |
| aristidesfl | dr_willis so I can just read other users files? | 06:22 |
| dr_willis | never noticed. try it and see | 06:22 |
| hsunda3 | aristidesfl, I believe you can "see" what files other users have, but unless the file itself is readable you can't read the contents of the file | 06:22 |
| aristidesfl | hsunda3 I've just created a new file, and it has read permissions to everyone -rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 0 Jul 5 07:16 peca | 06:23 |
| dr_willis | sounds about right | 06:23 |
| hsunda3 | yeah that file would be universally readable | 06:24 |
| aristidesfl | :/ | 06:24 |
| dr_willis | unless a direcory bove it as not accessable. | 06:24 |
| dr_willis | of course if you encrypt your home... | 06:25 |
| ceti331 | does the gcc ecosystem have tools for profiling and getting callgraphs | 06:25 |
| ceti331 | (runtime callgraphs) | 06:26 |
| hsunda3 | aristidesfl, I believe /etc/profile has a umask 022 which sets those permissions. If I understand you correctly, you want a umask of 077 instead | 06:26 |
| ewerton | Hello, what the better messenger to Linux? | 06:26 |
| ceti331 | oops wrong channel | 06:27 |
| aristidesfl | hsunda3 actually is 0002 | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | ewerton: huh? | 06:27 |
| hsunda3 | aristidesfl, what? 0002 seems weird | 06:27 |
| aristidesfl | that's what umask command says | 06:27 |
| Henoxek | ewerton, emacs | 06:27 |
| ewerton | the better: empathy? pidgin? emesene? | 06:27 |
| hsunda3 | aristidesfl, the output of your "umask" on the command prompt is 0002? | 06:27 |
| aristidesfl | hsunda3 eys | 06:28 |
| hsunda3 | oh yeah that makes sense, your default file permissions are -rw-rw-r-- ... but basically yeah you get the picture, the umask sets the default permissions | 06:29 |
| dr_willis | ewerton: try them all. decide for yourself | 06:29 |
| aristidesfl | hsunda3 You can setup umask in /etc/bashrc or /etc/profile file for all users. By default most Linux distro set it to 0022 (022) or 0002 (002). Open /etc/profile or ~/.bashrc file, enter: | 06:29 |
| ewerton | ... ok... | 06:29 |
| ewerton | thks | 06:29 |
| hsunda3 | aristidesfl, yeah that's what I was telling you earlier :P | 06:29 |
| aristidesfl | but I sell don't understand what is the 1st zero for | 06:30 |
| dr_willis | thats for the special bit isent it? I recall reading about it once. | 06:30 |
| hsunda3 | Just means it is octal | 06:30 |
| ghostconn | how would i add a .gif image as a background? im using ubuntu 12.04 | 06:30 |
| hsunda3 | aristidesfl, dr_willis the leading 0 means octal | 06:31 |
| dr_willis | 0ctal vs octal ;) | 06:31 |
| aristidesfl | would it be hard to infer? do we really need a zero? really? | 06:32 |
| dr_willis | yes | 06:32 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 06:32 |
| aristidesfl | -.- | 06:33 |
| dr_willis | given how many of these commands and syntaxs have been in use for ages.. and may in fact be posix standards. | 06:33 |
| dr_willis | !permissions | 06:34 |

| lion | relinux is tool which tell you custmize linux | 06:55 |
| dr_willis | nandonachi: ubuntu dosent really use runlevels like other distros do. | 06:56 |
| lion | i having problem in compling | 06:56 |
| mobyte | lion: Can't say I've heard of it... | 06:56 |
| lion | https://launchpad.net/relinux | 06:56 |
| nandonachi | @dr_willis interesting... | 06:56 |
| lion | chek here | 06:56 |
| dr_willis | no need to use @whoever on irc.. this is not twitter. ;) | 06:56 |
| mobyte | lion: Ubuntu Tweak works fine if you need to make changes to Unity. It's available in the Ubuntu Software Center. | 06:56 |
| lion | ok listen one more thing,i had used custmize kit for re cunstruct ubuntu | 06:57 |
| ghostchick | nandonachi, there is some guis for upstart and former initabs lvls | 06:57 |
| nandonachi | dr_willis: is this the correct syntax? | 06:57 |
| lion | but in end it give me error,something went wrong,your filesystem is big then your iso file | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | !tab | 06:57 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 06:57 |
| lion | how to solve this? | 06:57 |
| nandonachi | ghostchick: i went through their documentation and couldnt find it...can u please point me to a more specific link? | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | lion: remove things so the iso is smaller. | 06:57 |
| nandonachi | dr_willis: :O | 06:58 |
| lion | i am using ubuntu 12.04 iso | 06:58 |
| lion | i have rmeoved everything | 06:58 |
| lion | but still getting error :9 | 06:58 |
| BlueEagle | lion: What then, exactly, is not working? Which error are you receiving? I appear to have missed the exact error message. | 06:58 |
| ghostchick | nandonachi, a min i would get you the links | 06:58 |

| daniel110 | anyone? | 06:59 |
| lion | i got error this >> something went wrong..yout filesystem is bigger then isofile,,please try to reduce | 06:59 |
| nandonachi | dr_willis: nice, but #dr_willis and @dr_willis looks fine too you know! :P | 06:59 |
| gogli | BlueEagle : What is the difference between Services and Process | 06:59 |
| dr_willis | nandonachi: @ on irc means the person is an OP. and # on irc starts a Channel Name... | 07:00 |
| BlueEagle | gogli: Why are you asking me that? | 07:00 |
| lion | plzzzz helppppppppppppppp | 07:00 |
| mobyte | lion: I don't think that will get you any help... | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | lion: thats one way to get ignored... | 07:00 |
| gogli | BlueEagle : i'm very confuse in thsi words | 07:00 |
| BlueEagle | gogli: In Linux the services are called deamons. All deamons have (at least) one process, but other applications also have (at least) one process. | 07:00 |
| lion | but my iso not creating | 07:01 |
| nandonachi | dr_willis: ok! thanks a lot...but can you please tel me more about how ubuntu functions then...if it does not use the concept of run levels, it must use some similar mechanism?! | 07:01 |
| mobyte | lion: What are you trying to do? | 07:01 |
| Ben64 | BlueEagle: any other suggestions for me? i'm about to restart into the installed 12.04. ben64__ is me on my cell phone | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | lion: so? we understand you have issues with that app.. but if no one knows.. no one knows.. | 07:01 |
| BlueEagle | lion: The error message sais that the file system is bigger than the iso file. You need to determine the size of the file system and reduce the size of the file system to fit on the ISO-file. | 07:01 |
| lion | i am try to build my costem ubuntu with my own tool | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | many remasterint tools have issues with 12.04 check the apps forums and support channels | 07:02 |
| BlueEagle | Ben64: Sorry. The blacklist was my best bet. Next step is a clean install and if that doesnt work !bugs | 07:02 |
| gogli | BlueEgle : can't get it .I know demon is a Services but i want to know thw basic difference between services and process | 07:02 |
| Ben64 | BlueEagle: clean install isn't a solution :| | 07:02 |
| BlueEagle | !tab | gogli | 07:02 |
| ubottu | gogli: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 07:02 |
| lion | ok then..if i used ubuntu minix then how to add gnu in it? | 07:02 |
| lion | i mean GUI | 07:02 |
| BlueEagle | Ben64: If it fixes the issue then, to me, it is a solution. ;) | 07:02 |
| dr_willis | lion: use the package manager tools to insgtall what you want | 07:03 |
| dr_willis | !apt | lion | 07:03 |
| ubottu | lion: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 07:03 |
| Ben64 | BlueEagle: the same way that buying a new car is a solution to changing your oil | 07:03 |
| lion | ubuntu minix doesnot give gui it give only COMMAND LINE INTERFACE | 07:03 |
| dr_willis | lion: .. yes... use the apt tools like the bot said.. | 07:03 |
| gogli | BlueEagle: can you explain me clearly | 07:03 |
| lion | yah but in ubuntu minix how to get x server or gui | 07:03 |
| lion | because there only cli | 07:04 |
| BlueEagle | gogli: That was the clear explination. | 07:04 |
| mobyte | lion: Please type the name of the person you are responding to. It is difficult to pay attention to the client at all times. | 07:04 |
| dr_willis | lion: you instll them.... using the apt tools....' apt-get ' | 07:04 |
| dr_willis | and its ubuntu minimal, minix is a totally differnt OS. | 07:04 |
| gogli | BlueEagle:ok ! , dr_willis : can you tell me the basic difference between services and process | 07:04 |
| BlueEagle | gogli: If you need any clearifications you need to specify what needs to be clarified. Are you having issues understanding the fact that services are called daemons or that daemons and other applications all have one or more processes associated with them? | 07:05 |
| lion | hey comon..you only confusing me..i rebuilt my system that fine..i will install with apt-get that also fine..but no gui..how to get GUI IN UBUNTU MINIX | 07:05 |
| dr_willis | gogli: thats like the differance btween a house and electrical wires... | 07:05 |
| gogli | dr_willis: thanks | 07:05 |
| dr_willis | gogli: services run services.... process is what a running app is. Go check wiki pedia. | 07:05 |
| wylde | lion: for one thing that's not in the ubuntu repos, so it's not supported here. Your error told you exactly what the problem is. The filesystem you want to write to the iso is too big. You have to remove some data/applications/etc. to reduce the size. | 07:06 |
| ixolit | is it possible to know when php 5.4 will be available in ubunt repos ? | 07:06 |
| RKyle | Hi, I have a Broadcom divice that seems to be having network authentication issues. Someone mentioned that it could be my wpa_supplicant not working because it had worked previously so I know my card supports it. Any help is appreciated. | 07:06 |
| lion | ok how to remove all? | 07:06 |
| lion | it will take time if i will go for remive single application | 07:06 |
| ruconse | hsunda3: yeah, the dmidecode works just don't know 'Core Count' and 'Thread Count' :) | 07:06 |
| dr_willis | lion: why are you doing all this weird stuff anyway? | 07:06 |
| lion | i am doing this stuff..i can learn much linux...more problem more learning | 07:07 |
| ben64__ | so... what where would stop my network card from showing up in ifconfig when the driver is most definately loaded? | 07:07 |
| dr_willis | lion: i think you need to do more reading of linux fundamentals.. | 07:07 |
| hsunda3 | ruconse, are they the same? Are they different? Could you elaborate what you see and how you are interpreting what you see? | 07:07 |
| lion | i am RHCE CIRTIFIED | 07:07 |
| wylde | lion: your approach ideally would have been to start with a minimal install and only add what you needed, then make the iso. | 07:07 |
| krababbel | ben64__: wrong interfaces file? | 07:08 |
| hsunda3 | ruconse, another option would be -> lshw -C processor (Sorry, just trying out things I know) | 07:08 |
| lion | YESS I AM GOING TO USE ubuntu minix..which come with minimum packages..but in ubuntu minix how to get gui? | 07:08 |
| ruconse | hsunda3: they're the same, showing Core Count: 12 Thread Count: 12 | 07:08 |
| ben64__ | also, i am unable to log in. the login screen pops right back up | 07:08 |
| ruconse | hsunda3: and I have another Intel machine shows different values | 07:09 |
| dr_willis | lion: its 'minimal' not Minix. and you use apt-get to install what desktop you want. kde, gnome, or whatever.. use apt-cache search to determine package namnes | 07:09 |
| hsunda3 | ruconse, with an Intel machine hyper threading might come into picture too | 07:09 |
| ruconse | hsunda3: yeah, that's what I'm wondering | 07:09 |
| ruconse | hsunda3: Core Count: 4 | 07:10 |
| lion | apt-get install gnome will get gui interface in minix? | 07:10 |
| ruconse | hsunda3: thread count: 8 | 07:10 |
| ruconse | hsunda3: does it mean this physical socket has 4 cores and 8 threads? | 07:10 |
| dr_willis | lion: minix is not linux.... | 07:10 |
| lion | Ubuntu minix? | 07:10 |
| gogli | BlueEagle , dr_willis : Process is instance of a running application and Service is process which run in background and assist others Process .................Is this right ? | 07:10 |
| wylde | lion: apt-cache search blahblah | 07:10 |
| dr_willis | lion: no such thing.. time to start useing the proper words... | 07:11 |
| hsunda3 | ruconse, yeah my first quess would be a "quad core processor" with hyper threading enabled, thereby appearing as 8 logical processor units | 07:11 |
| BlueEagle | gogli: Not necessarily. | 07:11 |
| lion | any small linux which i can use for making custom os?with minimum packages? | 07:11 |
| gogli | BlueEagle: can you correct above statement ? | 07:11 |
| wylde | !ot | lion | 07:11 |
| ubottu | lion: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:11 |
| dr_willis | lion: tons of minimal disrtos out there.. check out Tiny Core Linux. | 07:11 |
| hsunda3 | ruconse, anything interesting in the output of "sudo lshw -C processor" ? | 07:11 |
| BlueEagle | gogli: Wait, do you mean service as in web service or ftp service and such? | 07:11 |
| ruconse | hsunda3: so the Intel machine has 8 processors in /proc/cpuinfo? | 07:12 |
| lion | okies..it comes with gui? | 07:12 |
| gogli | BlueEagle : yup ! like apache , mysql etc | 07:12 |
| hsunda3 | ruconse, yes the intel machine should show 8 processors in /proc/cpuinfo .. as in you should see upto "processor: 7" in there | 07:12 |
| dr_willis | lion: Most all disrtos can insgtall X and have a gui.. check its homepage.. yes it does. | 07:12 |
| lion | ok so i will use this for making my custom os | 07:12 |
| ruconse | hsunda3: yeah, it makes sense :) | 07:13 |
| BlueEagle | gogli: Any and all applications that run in linux has got one or more processes connected to it. A daemon is an application that runs in the background. A service is one or a collection of deamons that interface with the outside world. So as dr_willis said; processes are the wiring and plumbing while a service is a house. | 07:13 |
| hsunda3 | ruconse, but the AMD one is still bugging me thoug | 07:13 |
| dr_willis | and Ogres are Like onions... | 07:13 |
| ruconse | hsunda3: the AMD doesn't support hyper-threading, and it has 4 physical socket: | 07:14 |
| ruconse | Socket Designation: CPU1 to CPU4 | 07:14 |
| hsunda3 | ruconse, understandable .. just that I would expect the processor count to be a power of 4 ... "46" just seems randomly out of nowhere | 07:14 |
| lion | dr willi thanks for info brother | 07:14 |
| BlueEagle | gogli: Typically a web server has got an apache deamon running which has got several processes running. Also some php, python or perl processes may be spawned by the apache daemon to serve some content. | 07:15 |
| ruconse | hsunda3: the AMD has 48 logical units :) | 07:15 |
| daoneunv | aircrack-ng | 07:15 |
| ruconse | processor 0 - 47 | 07:15 |
| hsunda3 | ruconse, duh of course you are right | 07:15 |
| ruconse | hsunda3: lol | 07:15 |
| gogli | BlueEagle: Thanks ! i got it | 07:15 |
| === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke | ||
| hsunda3 | ruconse, yeah .. that would mean each "socket" has 12 logical units right? | 07:16 |
| gogli | BlueEagle : i think i'm very stupid : ) | 07:16 |
| RKyle | hi, my laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 will not authenticate wit my WPA personal 2 network. I know my broadcom wireless card supports it because it has worked previously. | 07:17 |
| BlueEagle | !details | RKyle | 07:17 |
| ubottu | RKyle: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 07:17 |
| BlueEagle | RKyle: You're missing the 2nd to last. | 07:18 |
| RKyle | BlueEagle, Well when I try to connect to my network it tries to, then asks for my password for the network, then repeats. | 07:19 |
| gogli | BlueEagle : Is proxy have some life . Suppose i use some proxy server in network proxy of ubuntu .Will it work for me 1 month ? | 07:19 |
| unkrr | hey i m unable to download torrents as the firewall is blocking it can anyone tell me how can i download the torrentz in ubuntu ?? may via tor or something ?? | 07:20 |
| hsunda3 | ruconse, my guess is .. given that it is a Opteron 6238 (which is 16 cores) ... there are a total of 3 "physical CPUs" and if your machine has 4 physical sockets, one of them is empty | 07:20 |

| lion | baba bya | 07:34 |
| ranveer5289 | lion: If you are good in reading documentation you can also try arch | 07:34 |
| BlueEagle | jankud: What you want is the two-interface setup. After installing shorewall it will be in /usr/share/doc/shorewall/examples/two-interfaces/ directory. You will need to change the interfaces file and the rules file and you should be good to go. | 07:35 |
| BlueEagle | gogli: What you need to be anonymous is a proxy server that encrypts the data between it and you and you need multiple people to connect through that proxy server. | 07:36 |
| BlueEagle | gogli: I would not recommend googling for free proxy and use any of those results because all data you send to the proxy may be intercepted by the people running the proxy server. | 07:37 |

| Yoshi2889 | Hey guys, is there a fully working equalizer for Ubuntu 12.04? | 07:58 |
| Yoshi2889 | pulseaudio-equalizer works weird for me | 07:59 |
| amitprakash | Hi.. I am using clonezilla to replicate ubuntu installation on multiple systems. How can I ask clonezilla to destroy the partition structure on the target system and to replace it w/ image partition structure?Specifically, my systems are set up in the format 20G - root , 100 G - home, 2xram - swap, rest - /data .. I'd like for clonezilla to automatically create this parition scheme and restore root and home if possible | 07:59 |

| Cop | I don't know what the repo for it is. | 08:03 |

| LjL | Cop: Universe? i just told you :P | 08:04 |
| GeekAdmin | Yoshi2889: so its just like making an Ubuntu USB? | 08:04 |
| Yoshi2889 | GeekAdmin: Yep | 08:04 |
| LjL | Cop: most of the packages are in Universe anyway, so you generally want that enabled. | 08:04 |
| Yoshi2889 | GeekAdmin: Just select your HDD instead of your USB | 08:04 |
| Yoshi2889 | GeekAdmin: Be sure to make an extra partition though | 08:04 |

| geirha | GeekAdmin: Ah, but there are other ways to install | 08:10 |
| GeekAdmin | geirha: really? even if that person has Windows? | 08:10 |
| dr_willis | wonder if you could dd the iso file to a little hard drive then boot it.. and install to a 2nd hard drive or location. | 08:11 |
| geirha | GeekAdmin: Yes, a wubi install for instance. | 08:11 |

| ghostchick | galacticboy, you can download it from the server on another computer then install it with the usb key | 08:50 |

| jalal | heloo guys i did this http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal in virtual box now i want to make an distro image using remastersys so can i make image? | 09:33 |
| jalal | help me plzz y ubuntu heroes | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | fire up remastersys and try it? what sort of answer are you wanting/ | 09:33 |
| jalal | help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee | 09:34 |
| jalal | i am frustade already | 09:34 |
| species_4981 | jalal stop repeating yourself. Be patient - if someone can assist they will respond. Otherwise, please wait. Ask again in an hour | 09:34 |
| dr_willis | jalal: your question is vague.. can you? most likely yes... | 09:35 |
| jalal | yes from 2 days i am in patient | 09:35 |
| jalal | now somone here told me for do that so i did..now my question ..can i make distribution live image using remastersys in virtualbox? | 09:35 |
| dr_willis | jalal: you should be able to remaster a new setup totally from within vbox. yes | 09:36 |
| dr_willis | you can do most everything in a vbox guest that you could on a 'real' pc | 09:36 |
| jalal | ok so i install this http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal in vbox..now i need to install my own tool | 09:36 |
| gogli | dr_willis : i'm now studying VPN and i found many types of vpn like OpenVPN , Cisco VPN ,PPTP .I don't get it why this classification has been done .What are they used for ? Is they all have same functionality ? | 09:39 |
| jalal | open vpn work fine in linux | 09:39 |
| jalal | i used open vpn client from offshore | 09:40 |
| dr_willis | gogli: no idea. i only use the BTGuard service. Differnt implemtations of the VPN standard/service i imagine | 09:40 |
| dwatkins | gogli: if you use a VPN, you need another computer to connect to at the other end | 09:40 |
| dr_willis | wikipedia page for VPN may have a comparison | 09:41 |
| === Jikai is now known as Jikan | ||
| gogli | jalal : all VPN work fine on linux .I have doubt that does PPTP is used to connect to windows and Cisco is to connect with Cisco network | 09:41 |
| === Jikan is now known as Jikai | ||
| dr_willis | so if you know the differances... why where you asking us what the differances are? | 09:42 |
| gogli | jalal , dr_willis : if that so , is there any common vpn to connect with all networks | 09:43 |
| jalal | i insttall this now at boot time it giving me install or install from cli..how to boot into my actual insalled system? | 09:43 |
| Yoshi2889 | How can I remove a repository that I added with add-apt-repository | 09:44 |
| Yoshi2889 | ? | 09:44 |
| dr_willis | perhaps ask in #networking or #vpn for vpn info. | 09:44 |
| dr_willis | !ppa-purge | 09:44 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 09:44 |
| dr_willis | brb. | 09:44 |
| gogli | dr_willis: i actually don't know .I never heard about VPN before . | 09:44 |
| jalal | @gogli i used only open vpn..it his own vpn service hosted on russian server called offshore | 09:45 |
| Yoshi2889 | Thanks | 09:45 |
| jalal | some days ago open vpn hacked by a egyptian black hat hacker | 09:46 |
| gogli | jalal : ok! Is OpenVpn Safe for being anonymous ? | 09:46 |
| dwatkins | gogli: as I keep telling you, you'll be connecting to another server with a VPN, and that server has to belong to someone | 09:46 |
| dwatkins | i.e. you can be tracked via the other end-point | 09:47 |
| jalal | gogli for what purpose do you want to use vpn?hacking? | 09:47 |
| vyrgozunqk | oh god i hate unity it's so laggy | 09:47 |
| jalal | vpn is easy to trace back | 09:47 |
| vyrgozunqk | even on sandybridge 2.1 Ghz with 4 GB of ram and 1 Gb video | 09:47 |
| jalal | best method is vpn+tor(onion routing) | 09:47 |
| BlouBlou | dr_willis: do you know if Unity doesn't load in usb image? | 09:47 |
| gogli | jalal : ok ! so , why we are using VPN ? | 09:48 |
| dial-a-monkey1 | VPN + Jondo | 09:48 |
| jalal | people use vpn for pass there trffic encrypted and anonymous | 09:48 |
| BlouBlou | dr_willis: I don't know if it doesn't load because it's not necessary, or if it doesn't support my graphic chip | 09:48 |
| jalal | some people do for hacking | 09:48 |
| gogli | dial-a-monkey1 : jondo ? | 09:48 |
| vyrgozunqk | dwatkins, if you go pass through 2 VPNs wo doesn't give you a static IP it'll be verry hard to track ;) | 09:49 |
| vyrgozunqk | 2 VPNs + open proxy | 09:49 |
| vyrgozunqk | and you're the man :P | 09:49 |
| dial-a-monkey1 | gogli: jondo = like to mixes packets = but no Bandwidth problems | 09:49 |
| dial-a-monkey1 | gogli: Jondo = like TOR | 09:49 |
| dwatkins | vyrgozunqk: true, but for the purposes of breaking into a school network, I suspect this would get traced back | 09:50 |
| gogli | jalal : i think i should with vpn + jondo(tor) | 09:50 |
| BlouBlou | how can I check if my netbook supports unity? | 09:50 |
| BlouBlou | I'm from usb stick | 09:50 |
| dwatkins | gogli: I think you should simply ask for an account on the system instead of trying to break into it | 09:50 |
| jalal | jondo is new..but i guess it premuim.. | 09:50 |
| vyrgozunqk | dwatkins, if he's not in the us he won't be tracked | 09:50 |
| vyrgozunqk | and nobody will care | 09:50 |
| dial-a-monkey1 | gogli: These days it's government trawling that is the threat | 09:51 |
| gogli | O god ! if i buy jondo , my parents kick my ass | 09:51 |
| jalal | no one is 100% anonymous.even you use vpn you can be traced backed via java script in your broswer and plugin or addon or flash | 09:51 |
| jalal | so remove all flash and disable java | 09:51 |
| dwatkins | or the fact you've hacked into a server and activated an account, often stuff is audited | 09:51 |
| vyrgozunqk | jalal, have you heard about disabling javascripts, coockies and etc. ?! | 09:51 |
| vyrgozunqk | : ) | 09:51 |
| jalal | and use vpn+tor vidalia with firfox tor button addon | 09:51 |
| gogli | hmm....Is midori browser good for hacking | 09:51 |
| jalal | yeahhh | 09:52 |
| dial-a-monkey1 | Openwifi + Jondofox + Jondo + VPN = and a few anomyous proxies = untracable | 09:52 |
| jalal | use tor button it will do for you,if you want to do form broswer then go to setting | 09:52 |
| vyrgozunqk | dial-a-monkey1, yes | 09:52 |
| vyrgozunqk | : ) | 09:52 |
| BlouBlou | jalal: torbutton does not longer work in disable mode | 09:52 |
| BlouBlou | I recommed using "torify firefox" | 09:52 |
| dwatkins | !hacking > gogli | 09:52 |
| ubottu | gogli, please see my private message | 09:52 |
| jalal | i know now it always enable but there is tor firfox broswer too | 09:52 |
| vyrgozunqk | dial-a-monkey1, you forgot - You HAVE to change your wifi card mac adress ; )\ | 09:52 |
| vyrgozunqk | just for security measure :P | 09:52 |

| BlouBlou | dial-a-monkey1: unity works fine on netbook :> | 09:53 |
| gogli | !hacking | 09:53 |
| ubottu | A hacker is a person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular, as defined by Request for Comments (RFC) 1392 - i.e. a good programmer -- crackers on the other hand break systems, see also !piracy | 09:53 |
| jalal | on target server hacker server ip wil be logged and after task they will remove log from server | 09:53 |
| gogli | how many people here agree with this defination of hacking | 09:53 |
| vyrgozunqk | !piracy | 09:53 |
| ubottu | piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 09:53 |
| jalal | i know..but according to me blackhat hacke are more advance then security specialist | 09:54 |
| dwatkins | yeah, they tend to stay hidden | 09:54 |
| gogli | jalal : i agree with you | 09:54 |
| jalal | you should coz i am penetration tester :) | 09:54 |
| GNS3Talk | Guys, how can I change the resolution of a headless Ubuntu machine running 12.04? The default resolution is 800x600 or less! Thanks. | 09:54 |
| gogli | whitehat hacking sucks | 09:54 |
| dwatkins | gogli: as I told you on the offtopic channel, if you're trying to break into your school server, don't. Just speak to the system administrator and ask for an account if you want one. | 09:55 |

| ikonia | Ben64: there is an alternative shell called "gnome-shell" which is what canonical are trying to replace with unity | 10:30 |
| Ben64 | right. but then i installed gnome panel | 10:30 |
| ikonia | Ben64: that means you can run gnome3 with the gnome-3 "gnome-shell" | 10:30 |
| Ben64 | so... where can i get or customize themes? | 10:30 |
| ikonia | Ben64: themes for what ? | 10:30 |
| Ben64 | i've been using 10.04 since 2010, and I don't know all about these new fangled things | 10:31 |
| Ben64 | gnome | 10:31 |
| rocketmagnet | hi again | 10:31 |
| ikonia | Ben64 gnome what ? | 10:31 |
| ikonia | Ben64: there are many components to gnome | 10:31 |
| ikonia | Ben64: things like "unity" (for example) will effect themes, | 10:31 |
| Ben64 | how can I tell? | 10:31 |
| ikonia | you'll need to be specific | 10:31 |
| dr_willis | unity has some very handy features. hud. lens. quicklists. | 10:32 |
| Ben64 | don't know what any of those mean. I just cannot stand the combined top menu bar | 10:33 |
| ikonia | Ben64: have you considered something like lubuntu or kubuntu ? | 10:33 |
| dr_willis | thats disabableable.... | 10:33 |
| dr_willis | global menu can be turned off | 10:33 |
| ikonia | Ben64: what you class as "gnome" will fade away more and more as more gnome 3 features take the place | 10:33 |
| Ben64 | ikonia: I tried both in VM and not really liking those | 10:33 |
| ikonia | Ben64: you're going to have to either start accepting some of the changes or moving to a different desktop | 10:34 |
| Ben64 | they're going to get rid of simplicity? | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Ben64: gnome2 is dead, gnome3 is now, it works very different than gnome2 and it's components and as it evolves fall back features and transitional features will stop | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Ben64: then ontop of that, gnome-shell is not on canonicals map, they are pushing unity, so again that's another layer | 10:36 |
| Ben64 | that leaves me in a tough choice in two years | 10:37 |
| ikonia | Ben64: many people are preparing and migrating now, I'd suggest you take that approach also | 10:37 |
| dr_willis | 2years is a looong time in computer years. ;) | 10:38 |
| Ben64 | to kde? | 10:38 |
| dr_willis | wayland may be used then. | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Ben64: to whatever best suits your needs, eg: configure gnome how you like it, move to xfce, etc etc. | 10:38 |
| Ben64 | all the other ubuntus get much less support and don't work as well | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Ben64: that's not really true | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Ben64: they have just as good teams working on it, the difference is canonical are pushing gnome and unity as a business | 10:39 |
| BlouBlou | Ben64: Ubuntu gets economic support, just that | 10:39 |
| Ben64 | I had xubuntu installed on my laptop for a while, it was true then | 10:39 |
| BlouBlou | the other distros are maintained by the community | 10:39 |
| ikonia | Ben64: the other distros are the same base product, with different desktops | 10:39 |
| dr_willis | lubuntu works well for me. | 10:39 |
| ikonia | it's only the desktop and related components that differ | 10:39 |
| Ben64 | from what I was told, unity is not configurable | 10:40 |
| ikonia | don't listen to what you've been told | 10:40 |
| ikonia | try it | 10:40 |
| ikonia | ask for help with what you want to change | 10:40 |
| Ben64 | how could I make it have a gnome-panel type (or actually gnome-panel) bottom panel. And remove the entire top bar? | 10:40 |
| BlouBlou | it wasn't time ago, was really bad, now you can configure it by using compizconfig-settings-manager and few other programs | 10:40 |
| ikonia | Ben64: if I tell you unity is the most configurable thing in the world, that doesn't make it true for your needs and perspective | 10:40 |
| ikonia | Ben64: (I've not read this fully) but this thread gives an overview of basic configuration options http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity/101415#101415 | 10:42 |
| ikonia | Ben64: I've only skimmed that, but it's worth a read to see if there are things you can use and then focus in on more | 10:42 |
| drag0nius2 | hmm, my modem-router only supports PPPoA for bridge mode, would it be possible for me to set up connection through ubuntu server? | 10:43 |
| drag0nius2 | i want to take off a much job off router as possible, since it's often hanging up/dhcp, nat crashing etc | 10:44 |
| BlouBlou | my cpu is 64bits, but I have just 1gb memory, should I use ubuntu64 or 32? since 32 uses lesss ram | 10:49 |
| iceroot | BlouBlou: amd64 | 10:49 |
| iceroot | BlouBlou: always use amd64 when the cpu supports it | 10:49 |
| ikonia | BlouBlou: you won't see a difference either way in reality | 10:49 |
| BlouBlou | ikonia: I forgot checking it and I installed 32 | 10:50 |
| ikonia | BlouBlou: you'll be fine | 10:50 |
| ikonia | BlouBlou: I see no reason to change | 10:50 |
| BlouBlou | great :> | 10:50 |

| deltatia | does it take that long to boot/ | 10:58 |
| fidel | deltatia: sounds like you are seeing Grub - aka bootmanager | 11:01 |
| fidel | in case you choose ubuntu - it depends on what you'll see the next seconds | 11:01 |

| === drag0nius2 is now known as drag0nius | ||
| drag0nius | is it supposed to "just work" or something? | 11:08 |
| MonkeyDust | drag0nius it's not in ubuntu, it's in the router | 11:09 |
| Zwick | maybe ubuntu is his router? | 11:09 |
| Zwick | its archaic, but possible :) | 11:10 |
| drag0nius | i'm using some shitty router-modem and want to put everything possible onto ubuntu server | 11:10 |
| MonkeyDust | Zwick if he were skilled enough to make his pc his router, he neednt ask that question :) | 11:10 |
| paulus68 | I have a working Lan and wifi connection on the same pc however I want to be able to use my lan connection for the regular stuff and the wifi for the connections that are blocked by our firm | 11:10 |
| Zwick | I was just throwing possibilities on the wall :) | 11:10 |
| paulus68 | without disconnecting the lan | 11:10 |
| drag0nius | got everything working but bridge mode | 11:10 |
| MonkeyDust | drag0nius read your router's manual | 11:11 |
| Zwick | Paulus, for most stuff like that, you would have to disable one and get an ip from the other | 11:11 |
| Zwick | Monkey, I have a question for you. | 11:11 |
| OerHeks | paulus we won't help you break the company rules. | 11:11 |

| Zwick | er, nouveau.blacklist=1 | 11:12 |
| Zwick | sorry, its early. | 11:12 |
| krababbel | why blacklist | 11:12 |
| MonkeyDust | Zwick it's a known issue, type !nomedeset | 11:12 |
| MonkeyDust | Zwick it's a known issue, type !nomodeset | 11:13 |
| Zwick | How do I type that before it boots when I never have video? | 11:13 |
| drag0nius | the thing is there is nothing about bridge mode other than mentioning it's there | 11:13 |
| drag0nius | in the manual | 11:13 |
| Zwick | (i'm relatively new to linux) | 11:13 |
| chu | !nomodeset | 11:13 |
| ubottu | 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 | 11:13 |

| drag0nius | i kinda dont know what should i expect of bridge mode, should it retrieve IP from ISP? Heres how router setup differs from bridge: | 11:16 |

| ikonia | drag0nius: contact your hardware vendor for support with your router please. | 11:17 |
| LjL | paulus68, i don't know the actual answer to your question, but the way i'd try going about it is: first check whether Network-Manager allows having two connections at a time, and if not, discarit and set up networking manually. then set up a proxy and tell it (assuming it's possible) to only use a sprecific route, the wifi's one. then use two different browsers, one with the proxy (or a single browser if you can find a way to quickly switch proxy on/off, i | 11:17 |
| LjL | think there are extensions for that for the most popular browsers) | 11:17 |
| ranveer5289 | V3NG3NC3: You marked that thread as solved. I am confused | 11:17 |
| krababbel | drag0nius: in bridge mode, the router will act as modem, and any login to your isp will be done on another box | 11:17 |

| geirha | klj613: The /dev/null is just a trick to get grep to output filename:line. If you provide grep with only one filename, it just outputs the matching lines, two or more, it prepends filename: to each line | 11:56 |

| geirha | AdvoWork: Well don't change the port :P just do it manually. sshd -p 2222 user@ip 'cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys' < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | 12:07 |
| geirha | AdvoWork: sorry, s/sshd/ssh/ | 12:07 |
| hateball | DarkSimOr if you use the wifi, set it up manually like you would in any OS. It should detect the proper driver automatically as well | 12:07 |
| pbjarting | Hi,I will buy a multi-purpose laser printer and scanner compatible with Linux.I used to have Samsung_CLX 2160. Printing worked , but scanner would not.What to buy ? | 12:08 |
| DarkSim | Sounds easy enough | 12:08 |
| ranveer5289_ | V3NG3NC3: still there | 12:08 |
| V3NG3NC3 | yup | 12:08 |
| geirha | AdvoWork: ssh-copy-id is a script that more or less just does that (though it also makes sure ~/.ssh/ is created and has the right mode) | 12:08 |
| hateball | pbjarting: HP is usually a good choice, have a look at http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/index.html for a list | 12:08 |
| ranveer5289_ | V3NG3NC3: Where have you placed your conky.config | 12:08 |
| V3NG3NC3 | in the folder | 12:08 |
| V3NG3NC3 | conky folder | 12:09 |
| pbjarting | hateball thanks | 12:09 |
| V3NG3NC3 | brb | 12:09 |
| ranveer5289_ | V3NG3NC3: you mean /etc/conky/conky.config. And are you sure you don't have 2 configs in the same folder. Because it seems conky is talking some other config file | 12:10 |
| jerrry | hi, my partition got screwed, is tried to save it with fsck,all files and folders are in lost+found with different filenames like #342234 , and i need to recover a encrypted home dir from it | 12:12 |
| DarkSim | hateball: What confuses me though is that there is two HP LaserJet Pro P1102W, but one of them is like p 1102w and the other one is P1102W | 12:12 |
| AdvoWork | In Unity, is there a way I can add some kind of folder, like a group, that when clicked on will list multiple icons(basically i connect to 4 diffferent servers via ssh on a regular occasion via terminator/terminal) and im trying to get shortcuts. Any ideas please? | 12:12 |

| V3NG3NC3 | there is a conky_nox11.conf there too | 12:28 |
| ldiamond | BluesKaj, nope | 12:28 |
| BluesKaj | ldiamond, perhaps you should | 12:29 |
| ranveer5289_ | V3NG3NC3: so try this conky -c /etc/conky/config_file_u_want_to_load | 12:29 |

| mehdi | nope | 12:30 |
| V3NG3NC3 | yup that worked | 12:30 |
| V3NG3NC3 | yay! | 12:30 |
| OY1R | it let's you play youtube and othertubes videos in totem (when it works) | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | to confirm your problem . ldiamond , to mkae sure that's not audio driver, but the player | 12:30 |
| peetaur | OY1R: I tried it and couldn't get it to work with mplayer. But I didn't try VLC. | 12:30 |
| ranveer5289_ | V3NG3NC3: nice | 12:30 |
| OY1R | peetaur, ok, i had it working but all of a sudden it stopped working | 12:31 |
| peetaur | OY1R: With mplayer? | 12:31 |
| ldiamond | BluesKaj, Flash would be making my audio driver freeze? | 12:31 |
| OY1R | peetaur, yes | 12:31 |
| V3NG3NC3 | so 2 questions then | 12:31 |
| ranveer5289_ | V3NG3NC3: so either delete the one u don't want or place it somewhere else other than your " home folder " | 12:31 |
| peetaur | oh nice. I assumed it wasn't supported and not possible. So that's good news. | 12:31 |
| V3NG3NC3 | 1) how do I stop conky | 12:31 |
| V3NG3NC3 | and you just answered the other questiobn | 12:31 |
| peetaur | So if you figure it out, remember to let me know how ;) | 12:31 |
| ranveer5289_ | V3NG3NC3: killall conky | 12:31 |
| V3NG3NC3 | oh yea | 12:32 |
| V3NG3NC3 | lol | 12:32 |
| OY1R | it was great watching youtube videos in totem and proper full screen, flash full screen does not work normally. | 12:32 |

| ldiamond | BluesKaj, it plays flv files in the browser | 12:36 |
| ldiamond | not sure what you're asking | 12:36 |
| V3NG3NC3 | if you could rip me the conky code for that,. thta be awesome | 12:36 |

| MonkeyDust | samba35 install a different desktop environment (DE), logout, select other DE, login | 12:41 |
| ldiamond | BluesKaj, well, it's definitely not the file itself. Does VLC use Adobe's decoders to play .flvs? | 12:41 |
| ranveer5289_ | V3NG3NC3: it should work | 12:41 |

| sleepie^eyes | dwatkins, repeated installation failure | 13:02 |
| LjL | probably because of the "fails to install" part | 13:02 |

| sleepie^eyes | Ah, ok. Just thought I'd ask see if anyone else had an idea | 13:02 |
| sleepie^eyes | Thanks | 13:02 |
| dwatkins | sleepie^eyes: depending on the reason for the failure, it might be that the hard disk is failing | 13:02 |
| sleepie^eyes | dwatkins, Not in this case, its Ubuntu alpha | 13:03 |

| mattgriffin | saurabh: yeah. me too. i'll do some searching in launchpad to see if i see anything similar reported by others | 13:37 |
| alansaul | helpcrypto: The line is if [[ "$OSTYPE" =~ ^linux ]]; then | 13:37 |
| alansaul | but in isolation from the test of the script it works fine... | 13:37 |

| sbur | I'm looking to file my tax forms in Belgium and there are technical problems with the ID card | 13:38 |

| helpcrypto | add an echo before the if, please | 13:38 |
| helpcrypto | and, i dont know it that is correct... | 13:38 |
| saurabh | mattgriffin, I thinks its the x.org problem. Were you using open source or proprietary drivers? | 13:38 |
| mattgriffin | saurabh: open | 13:39 |
| helpcrypto | ofr me, the "=~ ^Linux" is scary | 13:39 |
| alansaul | helpcrypto: I have a set -e at the beginning of the script, but it continues to run the rest of the script regardless | 13:39 |
| sbur | Am I in the correct chat room for such a question? | 13:39 |
| saurabh | ok. then its definitely x.org. I use proprietary ati drivers, it sometimes hangs my laptop. I though it broke something | 13:40 |
| helpcrypto | alansaul: just echo "$OSTYPE" before the if | 13:40 |
| gaymish | sbur: nope, wrong place mate. | 13:40 |
| saurabh | Is anyone here also experiencing problem with x.org since yesterday? | 13:41 |
| sbur | gaymish: Where do I ask the question on the correct channel? | 13:41 |

| helpcrypto | blank=not set | 13:41 |
| alansaul | as a sudo the $OSTYPE must be different | 13:41 |
| helpcrypto | AFAIK, thats not a env var | 13:41 |
| sbur | OerHeks: Thx | 13:41 |
| alansaul | Is there a better way to say "If on linux x, else if on darwin then y, if on cygwin then z" ? | 13:42 |
| alejo_ol | good morning.... how i can active the interface in console? | 13:42 |
| Steve973 | Hi. Does apticron send emails by itself, or does it use something like postfix? The reason why I am asking is because I have it set up, and I have my gmail address in the EMAIL line on the conf, but it's not sending emails to me for package updates. | 13:42 |
| OerHeks | alejo_ol, startx | 13:42 |
| helpcrypto | just make a sudo export | 13:42 |
| helpcrypto | to see wchich variable goes ok, otherwise runa command | 13:42 |
| alansaul | helpcrypto: A sudo export? | 13:42 |
| helpcrypto | like uname -a or lsb_release | 13:42 |
| helpcrypto | export shows the env variables | 13:43 |
| alejo_ol | interface net | 13:43 |
| alansaul | helpcrypto: Sorry im not sure I understand you mate | 13:43 |
| alansaul | I could use uname -a instead of OSTYPE? | 13:43 |
| helpcrypto | alansaul: run "sudo export" | 13:44 |
| helpcrypto | that are the variables set for the root/sudoer | 13:45 |
| alansaul | says "sudo: export: command not found" | 13:45 |
| alejo_ol | <OerHeks> im'sorry.. net interface | 13:45 |
| helpcrypto | alansaul: probably its my mistake. i just want to run export as sudo | 13:45 |
| helpcrypto | anyway, probably you will need a lsb_release or uname -a | 13:46 |
| helpcrypto | or something differente to detect the system | 13:46 |
| alansaul | helpcrypto: Okay, with a regex I think uname -s will do :) | 13:46 |

| micw | i run an ubunti 12.04 server and think about using ubuntu's typo3-src-4.5 instead of a self managed | 14:08 |

| quixotedon | Natrist: is this your first time trying editing xorg.conf or you have succeeded before? | 15:17 |
| Lorra | gogli, you can't really install two packages at the exact same time. | 15:17 |
| gogli | O god ! but why ? | 15:18 |
| Lorra | gogli, why would you do that anyway? What do you want to do? | 15:18 |

| compdoc | Zwick|2, if gparted, or sudo fdisk -l doesnt work, then the ssd isnt being seen by your motherboard properly | 15:18 |
| bazhang | !alis | Achylles | 15:19 |
| ubottu | Achylles: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 15:19 |
| gogli | when i try to that i get an error Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 15:19 |
| Natrist | Thé problem x1k is Thatcher tIs read-only | 15:19 |
| OerHeks | gogli, you can install one after another, so whats the problem? | 15:19 |
| Natrist | Read-only | 15:19 |
| Lorra | gogli, 'cause information about software packages you install through the package manager is stored into a database and in order to keep it clean you cannot have to programs to modify it at once | 15:19 |
| bazhang | gogli, you can only run one instance of apt at a time | 15:19 |
| danub | gogli: depends on what you are talking about. if your going to use apt-get install, then you can only do 1 at a time (ubuntu center or terminal. if your going to be doing a configure, make, make install, then you can do both | 15:19 |
| k3y | Does anyone know how I can change my font color for the Document Viewer Side panel; its too bright I cant read my books | 15:20 |
| gogli | ok ! how to get lock on /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 15:20 |
| danub | gogli: when you run apt, it locks | 15:20 |
| Lorra | gogli, because when apt runs it creates this "lock file" which, if found by the other apt program instance you run it brings the message you wrote | 15:20 |
| bazhang | gogli, wait for the one to finish and close it | 15:20 |
| danub | when apt exits, it removes the lock | 15:20 |
| adahlin | hi all. i managed to lock myself out of an ubuntu box by setting a bad configuration line in the server's ssh config... anyway I can still get in remotely or will i need to physically connect to it | 15:20 |
| OerHeks | !aptlock | 15:20 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 15:20 |
| Lorra | gogli, if apt didn't terminate cleanly you'd better run dpkg --configure -a | 15:21 |
| Lorra | gogli, then restart your computer | 15:21 |
| bazhang | OerHeks, he shouldnt use that in this case | 15:21 |
| Lorra | gogli, and then run apt anyway you want | 15:21 |
| gogli | wao ! thanks for such a wonderfull info . | 15:21 |
| gogli | thanksguys | 15:21 |
| LjL | gogli: that info was for other things though. the answer to what you asked is, you CANNOT install two things at the same time. | 15:21 |
| OerHeks | bazang i know, wrong answer to "how to get a lock on /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 15:22 |
| danub | too late, he is going to remove the lock and run another instance | 15:22 |
| Lorra | gogli, when apt doesn't end cleanly it should happen it shouldn't remove the lock file, so that future apt's know it and don't mess up | 15:22 |
| Lorra | pycrypto anyone? | 15:22 |
| LjL | afraid so | 15:22 |
| zwickmobile | So now i have a secondary issue, im having problems loading video from my nvidia card in 12.04 | 15:22 |
| gogli | danub : don't worry .i'll not going to break the lock | 15:22 |

| x1k | HB: im not sure how far Quickly works.. i assumed that it was just for the quick creation of an app, not the full deployment... ill check | 15:26 |
| HB | melodie_: thanks… I was thinking the process was automatic like AppleAppstore,…. THe video that I saw about Quickly make me think that | 15:26 |
| melodie_ | vn, what about the bios ? you could deactivate it from there maybe , | 15:26 |
| LjL | gogli: i've no idea what you mean by "train" | 15:26 |
| vn | melodie_: just wondering how comes it works so well in Windows and not Linux...but yea gotta check out if that is indeed the source of the problem...will do | 15:27 |
| x1k | HB: no, doesn't look like Quickly does all that.. it would get you to the point of publishing, but from there you'll use ubuntu's MyApp's system which you register for on developer.ubuntu.com | 15:27 |
| melodie_ | vn, I don't know because I don't have kvm, nor Windows | 15:27 |

| BluesKaj | abcdefv, hold down the left shift key right after the bios screen until grub appears if you actaully installed ubuntu to it's own partition, not a virtual one with VB | 15:46 |
| abcdefv | BluesKaj, once grub appears, anything else I need to do? I don't know the terminology, but I'm afraid that it might be trying to boot from a location that doesn't actually exist | 15:49 |
| MacroMan | If I have paused a running process with <ctrl> z, how do I start it again? | 15:51 |
| abcdefv | (because I did install inside virtual box (I had to create a raw vmdk that points to the partition)) | 15:51 |
| BluesKaj | abcdefv, not if you created a proper partition ,grub should appear | 15:52 |
| MacroMan | I know I can type bg to have it continue as a bg process, but how to bring it back to foreground? | 15:52 |
| glitsj16 | conked: have you tried setting different values for own_window_type in your ~/.conkyrc yet? it probably disappears because by default nautilus is controlling the desktop | 15:54 |
| revol0xf | conked, if I remember correctly, it has to do with own_window_type option in its configuration file. Refer http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html | 15:54 |

| bazhang | RipStik, turn off the joins parts and quits perhaps will make it a bit easier | 16:04 |
| abcdefv | glitsj16, just to make sure there isn't some other problem, if the grub menu is hidden, I should (or might) see a blinking cursor right? (No other inputs affect anything; ctrl + alt + del does not restart) | 16:05 |
| RipStik | Ah good idea. But bazhang can I make it happen only in #ubuntu ? or is that possible | 16:05 |
| glitsj16 | abcdefv: correct .. in default grub configuration yes, try reviewing your grub setup in /etc/default/grub to confirm | 16:06 |
| bazhang | RipStik, depends on the client, which one are you on | 16:06 |
| RipStik | bazhang: I can't figure out what clients are. | 16:07 |
| abcdefv | glitsj16, alright thanks. Since I can boot into the ubuntu partition from within virtualbox, I think I will have it force show grub from there. should I change any other settings? | 16:07 |
| bazhang | RipStik, thats the gateway client, should be a setting toggle in the top left if I recall correctly, you can ask further in #freenode channel | 16:08 |
| RipStik | bazhang: Thanks anyway but I think I'll just leave it as it is. | 16:09 |
| glitsj16 | abcdefv: i'd try changing grub's defaults one by one first, but it doesn't hurt dropping your /etc/default/grub to a pastebin of your choice and let people confirm there's nothing weird in it | 16:09 |
| abcdefv | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1076645/ | 16:11 |
| glitsj16 | abcdefv: looks good .. an old trick i use sometimes is installing a second kernel to get grub2 out of its hidden state, but what's there is pure defaults yes | 16:13 |
| abcdefv | thanks glitsj16, I'll give that a shot too just to be sure | 16:13 |
| boii | abcdefv, that make grub not show on startup? | 16:15 |
| abcdefv | boii, the problem right now is a blinking cursor when I boot into my ubuntu partition (which I installed from virtualbox in os x). I just edited the grub settings to show itself. we'll see what happens now | 16:16 |

| Ady | L3top I just want to delete all content in folder please - never seen this before | 18:13 |
| L3top | Ady: sudo rm -r /path/to/folder does what? | 18:13 |
| Ady | L3top noting im afraid | 18:13 |
| voldyman_ | guys what can i use instead of /dev/dsp. for doing like cat /dev/dsp1 | 18:14 |
| L3top | It will either give an error, or delete the folder | 18:14 |
| Ady | L3top icon with lock symbol on still there | 18:14 |
| === Robert_ is now known as Guest92513 | ||

| Ady | L3top, thank you - no error's just nothing happens | 18:15 |
| L3top | Ady: what does ls /path/to/folder produce? | 18:15 |
| voldyman_ | L3top, i am trying to do cat /dev/usbmon* > /dev/dsp | 18:15 |
| voldyman_ | but ubuntu doesn;t have /dev/dsp | 18:15 |
| Ady | L3top will try - one second | 18:15 |
| voldyman_ | i wanted to know what is the file that represents speaker output | 18:16 |
| undersound | L3top was testing some drupal module which needed zend framework beta version which in turn needed php 5.3.3. For now I just want to get php installed again (its removed somehow) and run 10.04 LTS smoothly | 18:16 |
| L3top | voldyman_: that will copy the contents of all files begining with usbmon to /dev/dsp | 18:16 |
| === michael is now known as Guest74715 | ||
| L3top | /dev/usbmon that is voldyman_ | 18:16 |
| voldyman_ | L3top, in my case use the mouse movement data to generate sound | 18:16 |
| Ady | L3top ls lists all file & folders in directory | 18:17 |
| L3top | Ady: ls -la /path/to (meaning the directory which contains the folder in question) do you have a folder.lock or anything similar to that in there? | 18:19 |
| L3top | undersound: sudo apt-get install php5 | 18:19 |
| L3top | I see what you are doing now voldyman_... I am not honestly sure... let me poke around a bit | 18:20 |
| undersound | L3top yeah I tried that but Package php5 is not available, but is referred to by another package | 18:20 |
| Ady | L3top sorry i don't .... | 18:20 |
| L3top | undersound: do you still have your backed up sources.list file? Please pastebin it if you do. | 18:21 |
| L3top | Ady: sudo -s enter your pass. rm -rf /path/to/folder | 18:22 |
| * L3top is very confused why you dont get a permission denied... or... SOME sort of error. | 18:22 | |
| undersound | L3top yes was backed up here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1076863/ | 18:23 |
| Ady | L3top done that - just gives prompt - is that good ? | 18:23 |

| scocos | Hi, rebooted my 10.04LTS system today to pick up changes to /etc/nsswitch.conf and now the system won't get to the boot loader. Suggestions of how to fix? I did boot to a live 10.04 CD and I can mount partitions as needed | 18:26 |
| Zwick1204 | Hey L3top, I just have one more issue, I can't seem to get my primary HDD seen. It is a Corsair 128 SSD, I have formatted it every way I can think of, and it will not show up on 12.04's Gparted device list. | 18:26 |
| Ady | L3top - thank you /i know however I did not set them ! - they seem to have appeard from a windows disk we used!!!!! | 18:26 |
| L3top | undersound: once you have your old list restored, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade again... then try to install | 18:26 |
| L3top | Ady: we did with sudo -s | 18:26 |
| Ady | L3top thank you again ! | 18:27 |

| voldyman_ | L3top, np | 18:32 |
| boman | who do i talk to if i have a problem automounting ntfs on my xbmc ubuntu and I am a noob? | 18:32 |
| Zwick1204 | L3top, I also created a partition on the SSD using Fdisk for a linux-native environment, if that helps any. | 18:32 |
| undersound | L3top np thanks | 18:32 |
| Zwick1204 | It was not done within Ubuntu, just with the Ultimate Boot Disk :) | 18:33 |
| L3top | undersound: I am confused by that. I would think it would exist. My sources are weird. I use the mirrors technique... and it exists for me... so I can't really check which repo it should exist for you in. | 18:33 |
| scocos | I'm unsure if I had grub on the system (though if it was default, it probably is there). | 18:34 |
| scocos | If I need to reinstall grub, can I do that from rescue mode? It looks like I can repair it but that may be different than installing it | 18:34 |
| L3top | Zwick1204: ubuntu does not see it. At all. You also have no swap drive or anything. You have a very odd formatting scheme natively... however if fdisk doesn't find it... I am at a bit of a loss. | 18:34 |
| idlemonkey | window manager. how to figure it, i dint understand you helper | 18:35 |
| L3top | checking now voldyman_. Out of curiosity, are you blind, or is this just an audio experiment? | 18:35 |
| Zwick1204 | When I Installed ubuntu, Win7 was originally on the SSD, and I formatted the SSD afterwards. | 18:35 |
| voldyman_ | L3top, audio experiment | 18:35 |
| Jordan_U | scocos: Yes, you can do it from the root shell if nothing else. | 18:36 |
| gogli | how to use supybot | 18:36 |
| undersound | L3top what would you advice to do next, I don't mind reinstalling LAMP if that will solve the problem | 18:36 |
| boman | ?automounting ntfs i xbmc eden | 18:36 |
| BluesKaj | scocos, try the recovery kernel if you haven't yet , use the repair packages in the dialog , then you can update grub at the root prompt and reboot | 18:36 |
| voldyman_ | L3top, your question just made me think about my whole life and have more sympathy for the less fortunate | 18:36 |
| Jordan_U | scocos: Try asking in #supybot . | 18:36 |

| melodie_ | jennie, go to the preferences menu of Synaptic, and let it choose a different server, based on your location | 19:26 |
| melodie_ | jennie, then once done hit the "Reload" button | 19:27 |

| scocos | (I'm manually booting via grub since there was apparently no grub.cnf or menu.lst or something) | 19:30 |
| kelbizzle | greasegum, thank you | 19:30 |
| jennie | ok i changed to another server location | 19:30 |
| jennie | but still same | 19:30 |
| melodie_ | jennie, not any server location, one that the program will choose after a test | 19:30 |

| Spectacle_K | Already tried. | 20:55 |
| Spectacle_K | I don't know why the lock button is showing up as 'l' | 20:55 |
| OrtonEdge32dh | It told me to install Mono | 20:55 |
| Spectacle_K | Literally, there's a key on my keyboard that has a padlock symbol on it. In Windows, it locked the screen. It doesn't do anything in Ubuntu and I'd like to use that instead of ctrl+alt+l because it's just so much simpler for me. And I keep pressing it out of habit. | 20:56 |
| studio | hey i have a problem i cant install wine it says that package dependecies cannot be resolved | 20:57 |
| OrtonEdge32dh | Where's the latest Mono? | 20:57 |
| OrtonEdge32dh | I need it to run anything | 20:57 |
| L3top | OrtonEdge32dh: you probably want to /join #winehq | 20:58 |
| Spectacle_K | OK, totally unrelated question can someone please tell me why my trash bin got renamed 'rubbish bin'. And how that happened. It's funny, I like it... but how did that happen? | 20:58 |
| OerHeks | OrtonEdge32dh, The mono compiler package is mono-gmcs, if you need the entire mono stack, install the package mono-complete . current is mono-gmcs 2.10.8.1-1ubuntu2.1 | 20:59 |
| L3top | OrtonEdge32dh: I expect it is some iteration of libmono | 20:59 |
| L3top | oh... nm OrtonEdge32dh... listen to OerHeks | 20:59 |
| OrtonEdge32dh | Not entirely what any of that means | 20:59 |
| OrtonEdge32dh | I'm not really a computer guy | 20:59 |
| OerHeks | OrtonEdge32dh, so what howto are you using? | 21:00 |
| L3top | OrtonEdge32dh: to install packages from terminal, sudo apt-get install xxxx where xxxx is the package name. OerHeks gave you the lightweight and full bore versions to install | 21:00 |
| OrtonEdge32dh | I understood L3top just now, so hopefully that works. I don't know what a howto is, really | 21:01 |
| TheLordOfTime | OrtonEdge32dh: a "how to" is also called a tutorial | 21:01 |
| OrtonEdge32dh | oh, well that makes sense | 21:01 |
| TheLordOfTime | </clarification of terminology> | 21:01 |
| OrtonEdge32dh | I'm not using one | 21:01 |
| OerHeks | "It told me to install Mono" ?? | 21:02 |
| OrtonEdge32dh | it being terminal | 21:02 |
| melkor | Is there a way to restart X from a tty without having to close all of my running programs? | 21:04 |

| TheLordOfTime | (sorry keyboard is being evil) | 21:04 |
| melkor | My input wasn't working, I could move the mouse, but it was stuck as a certain type of pointer and clicking wouldn't respond. I could get to other tty's | 21:05 |
| studio | hey i have a problem i cant install wine it says that package dependecies cannot be resolved | 21:05 |
| melkor | studio: how are you trying to install it | 21:06 |
| studio | melkor: ubuntu software center | 21:06 |
| studio | melkor: and from terminal | 21:07 |
| L3top | studio: do you have any active PPAs? | 21:07 |
| studio | l3top:i think so | 21:07 |
| studio | how can i see that | 21:07 |
| L3top | studio: this is likely the problem. You can check the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 21:08 |
| Grynn | Hi ... how do I get a list of IRC rooms in Empathy (Precise) | 21:08 |

| shark | i am having problem in instaling theme | 21:10 |
| shark | plzzz somebody help me | 21:10 |
| melkor | shark: what is the problem, did you install the advanced settings tool? | 21:11 |
| studio | where should i post this | 21:11 |
| studio | the output | 21:11 |
| BluesKaj | Grynn, type /list in the server textbox | 21:11 |
| L3top | studio: if anything exists in /etc/apt/sources.list.d you could make a folder (sudo mkdir ~/ppas) and move them for later use (sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ~/ppas) if there is any output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep ppa then hash (put a # in front of the line) them | 21:11 |
| shark | i install this http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal..and i customize it according to me.but cant have theme | 21:11 |
| melkor | odie5533: it varies. You might have better luck checking #gimp (on irc.gnome.org) or #firefox. | 21:12 |
| melkor | odie5533: plus if you need features of a newer version there is probably a ppa lying around somewhere with a newer version. | 21:12 |
| Grynn | @BluesKaj I dont have a server windows, I have a chat window and a contacts list. I opened the chat window by join room from the main empathy menu | 21:12 |
| studio | l3top:there is an output | 21:12 |
| L3top | for which studio | 21:12 |
| studio | for cat and ls | 21:12 |
| odie5533 | melkor: but they won't be available in the normal repo until the next version of Ubuntu is released, correct? | 21:12 |
| BluesKaj | Grynn, ok , then i have no clue , sorry | 21:13 |
| L3top | <L3top> studio: if anything exists in /etc/apt/sources.list.d you could make a folder (sudo mkdir ~/ppas) and move them for later use (sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ~/ppas) if there is any output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep ppa then hash (put a # in front of the line) them | 21:13 |
| melkor | odie5533: no | 21:13 |
| Grynn | BluesKaj Thx all the same | 21:14 |

| odie5533 | melkor: I don't understand. Do most packages offer the latest version in the normal ubuntu repo, or are they only upgraded when the new version of Ubuntu comes out? | 21:16 |
| studio | l3top:i dont understand what i should do if cat /etc/apt/sources.list give me an ouput? | 21:16 |
| OerHeks | linux4u, do you use some GDM on your server ? | 21:17 |
| linuxjones | OerHeks, haha, yeah, im just kinda playing with the server so i added gnome to it | 21:17 |
| studio | l3top:output | 21:17 |
| melkor | odie5533: packages are updated before new version of ubuntu comes out. That is what gets updated when you update. | 21:17 |
| odie5533 | melkor: Okay, thank you for the explanation. | 21:20 |

| OerHeks | oke, because aptitude can mess up the software-depencies. | 22:32 |
| cc11rocks | OerHeks - By doing what to it? Not checking with currently installed programs and running it against dep. and dep. issues and errors? | 22:33 |
| OerHeks | cc11rocks, it is the multi-arch thing | 22:33 |
| OerHeks | !aptitude | 22:33 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time.

| cc11rocks | Works for me Kevin` | 22:45 |
| darnam | works here too kevin | 22:45 |
| cc11rocks | I use it pretty much every day "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" | 22:46 |
| Kevin` | darnam or cc11rocks can you show your sources.list? | 22:46 |

| buhman | how do I start upstart if I'm in a chroot? | 22:48 |
| darnam | so you want me to paste in the text or? from the sources.list file? | 22:48 |
| TheEmpath | Kevin`: so the IPv4 Routes for this connection should be Address: 192.168.143.0, Netmask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.143.2, Metric 1? | 22:48 |

| TheEmpath | Kevin`: Automatic: http://i48.tinypic.com/258yttc.png (This works) | 23:34 |
| Kevin` | TheEmpath: remove the route, set the gateway to .2 instead of .255 | 23:35 |
| TheEmpath | k | 23:35 |
| trisquel | idiot check: just made a new partition, debootstrapped, chrooted, installed linux-image and grub, ran grub-update and grub-install, added my user; I should be OK to reboot now, right? | 23:36 |

| marsfligth | Hi to all. Hi made a disaster on my Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. I managed the passwd to add users on my samba server following a guide on the net and after the reboot it don't accept the right password. In more, I have the home directory encrypted (EFS) only this '/home/myusername'. Have you idea how to get access to my account? Thanks | 23:41 |
| Megabyte | root@A:/home/x# chgrp wheel /usr/bin/su chgrp: invalid group: `wheel' | 23:42 |
| Ghosthunter007 | you would need to create the group addgroup wheel | 23:43 |
| Ghosthunter007 | then add those who can access the su command to it like root | 23:44 |
| daptordarattler | marsfligth: restart into recovery mode and drop to the root shell and run "pw yourusername" | 23:44 |
| vox | er pretty sure the sudo group is "admin" | 23:44 |
| daptordarattler | marsfligth: u can then input the password you want since this will overide ur old password | 23:44 |
| Ghosthunter007 | marsfligth, boot to single user mode and change the root passwd or your user account password with passwd <username> | 23:44 |
| escott | daptordarattler, think you are getting confused with osx or something | 23:45 |
| glitsj16 | vox: i think that is the 'sudo' group now | 23:45 |
| vox | Ghosthunter007: i dont think ubuntu has used the 'wheel' group for many, many years | 23:45 |
| daptordarattler | escot: ive done that in ubuntu before "passwd <username>" | 23:45 |
| Megabyte | Well... | 23:45 |
| Megabyte | isn't it better to do something like: | 23:45 |
| Megabyte | alias sudo su=sudo? | 23:45 |
| escott | daptordarattler, you wrote "pw" not "passwd" | 23:45 |
| Megabyte | Except I can't find a way to make bash accept "sudo su" | 23:45 |
| daptordarattler | escott: my bad | 23:46 |
| Megabyte | I tried alias "sudo su"="sudo" | 23:46 |
| Megabyte | but it doesn't work | 23:46 |
| escott | Megabyte, you shouldnt be doing sudo su anyways use sudo -i | 23:46 |
| daptordarattler | escott: typing faster than thinking | 23:46 |
| Ghosthunter007 | vox correct but if you want to disable su for other users you create the group then add root to it then change the chmod it then only root or who ever is part fo the wheel group will be able to run su only | 23:46 |
| Megabyte | escott: I know... I want to prevent it | 23:46 |
| vox | glitsj16: there is a sudo group, but there isnt usually any users in it - that's handed off to the admin group | 23:46 |
| vox | Ghosthunter007: ahh fair point | 23:46 |
| Ghosthunter007 | sudo -i or sudo -s | 23:46 |
| marsfligth | daptordarattler: thanks for answered. I tried but I get 2 errors. First one it says that can't lock 'shadow', second one, when I type 'passwd username' and enter, it doesn't offer to change the passwor, it just skip all | 23:46 |
| iceroot | why is the updater in 12.04 NOT asking for a password to install new packages? (sudo password is not cashed, system was a fresh boot) | 23:46 |
| Megabyte | Ghosthunter007: well, how can I force alias to accept "sudo su"? | 23:47 |
| Megabyte | alias sudo su=sudo | 23:47 |
| glitsj16 | vox: thanks for explaining | 23:47 |
| iceroot | Megabyte: please dont use sudo su | 23:47 |
| iceroot | Megabyte: sudo su is the wrong way for a root-shell | 23:48 |
| Megabyte | iceroot: I want an alias to make sudo su become "sudo" | 23:48 |
| daptordarattler | <marsfligth> r u typing passwd with ur username or "passwd username" directly? | 23:48 |
| Megabyte | i.e, so users will actually be redirected to sudo | 23:48 |
| iceroot | Megabyte: and i told you that sudo su is wrong | 23:48 |
| Ghosthunter007 | in ubuntu su is old school its not wrong it just not a common practice in Ubuntu | 23:48 |
| Ghosthunter007 | in real unix system su is still used | 23:48 |
| escott | Megabyte, are you trying to blacklist for security reasons or just discourage bad behavior? | 23:48 |
| iceroot | Ghosthunter007: sudo su is wrong in every distro | 23:48 |
| Megabyte | escott: both | 23:49 |
| iceroot | Ghosthunter007: because its setting the env incorrectly | 23:49 |
| iceroot | Ghosthunter007: you are calling su as root because you already did sudo which will mess up the env | 23:49 |
| Ghosthunter007 | su = switch user | 23:49 |
| Kevin` | Megabyte: why are you letting users run commands as root when they don't know how to use sudo properly? | 23:49 |
| iceroot | Ghosthunter007: we are talking about "sudo su" which means "get root access with sudo and then call su as root" | 23:50 |
| Megabyte | Kevin, there is only one user here | 23:50 |
| Megabyte | me | 23:50 |
| Megabyte | :P | 23:50 |
| iceroot | Ghosthunter007: and that is wrong | 23:50 |
| kaya | hi | 23:50 |
| escott | Megabyte, from a security standpoint blacklisting is rather ineffective | 23:50 |
| Kevin` | Megabyte: why can't you just remember not to type sudo su then? | 23:50 |
| Megabyte | I see | 23:50 |
| Megabyte | Kevin, I did say both | 23:50 |
| escott | Megabyte, but you can put !su in the sudoers config file | 23:51 |
| Megabyte | I guess I'll just add the "wheel" group | 23:51 |

| Megabyte | I did try that | 23:52 |
| Megabyte | It didn't work | 23:52 |
| Megabyte | Cmnd_Alias NSHELLS = /bin/sh,/bin/bash Cmnd_Alias NSU = /bin/su testing ALL= ALL, !NSHELLS, !NSU | 23:53 |
| Megabyte | this you mean, right? | 23:53 |
| iceroot | Megabyte: you forgot dash, zsh and so on. as you see blacklisting is always unsecure | 23:54 |
| Megabyte | iceroot: I didn't... it was on that link escott mentioned | 23:54 |
| Megabyte | as the solution | 23:54 |
| iceroot | Megabyte: and what about "sudo passwd"? and then just using "su -"? | 23:54 |
| Kevin` | Megabyte: ln -s /bin/bash foo; sudo ./foo | 23:54 |
| iceroot | Megabyte: or sudo sed on /etc/shadow to write down a new hash as a password, so su - will work | 23:55 |
| iceroot | Megabyte: just realise that blacklisting is unsecure | 23:55 |
| mophead | System messages are messing up my screen. How do I repaint X without having to resort to ctrl+alt+bksp? Google tells me there's something called xrefresh? | 23:55 |
| Kevin` | blacklisting is also pointless, all it's doing is preventing you from easily doing something if you need to later | 23:56 |
| iceroot | mophead: maybe ctrl + alt + f1 and then ctrl + alt + f7 | 23:56 |
| mophead | iceroot: just tried that; system message is still up. | 23:57 |
| john_-0 | Hi, where does my "simple-scan" store temp files of its scanned images? | 23:57 |
| mophead | Ctrl+R just repaints everything in the background, leaving the sys message where it is. | 23:57 |
| john_-0 | Anyone have any idea? :) | 23:58 |
| MissVera | Trying to install, Using advanced partitioning, and it says no roof file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu. But I have the main partition set for ext4 mount point /home. ? | 23:59 |
