| escott | MissVera, you need a partition for /. /home is optional | 00:00 |
| MissVera | escott, I do SO love you. I've already pulled up your logs from helping me last time, incase the same errors occur :P Thanks, Worked as always. | 00:01 |
| burnt | hey :) when I make a change to my etc/hosts files it dosnt seem to update | 00:02 |
| burnt | eg 0.0.0.0 http://www.facebook.com is there and I reload ff and it still allows it | 00:03 |
| burnt | what am I doing wrong? | 00:03 |
| burnt | tia | 00:03 |
| beandog | burnt: restart the browser, they cache DNS | 00:03 |
| mophead | so I ended up just using ctrl+alt+bksp. Is there a better alternative in the future? | 00:03 |
| Ghosthunter007 | or set your browser to not cache | 00:03 |
| burnt | I have and rebooted | 00:03 |
| burnt | still shows? | 00:03 |
| beandog | burnt: also the syntax is wrong, you want www.facebook.com not the http:// prefix | 00:04 |
| Ghosthunter007 | but from command line hosts file is instant | 00:04 |
| burnt | ok | 00:04 |
| glitsj16 | mophead: you mentioned xrefresh, have you tried that? | 00:04 |
| mophead | glitsj16 : I don't think it exists anymore? | 00:05 |
| === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away | ||
| mophead | I tried typing "xrefresh" in a terminal... no response. | 00:05 |
| loganrun | how do I temporary disable the firewall | 00:05 |
| Ghosthunter007 | Loganrun what firewall software do you have installed | 00:06 |
| glitsj16 | mophead: it's in a package called x11-xserver-utils | 00:06 |
| Ghosthunter007 | firestarter ufw or other | 00:06 |
| burnt | ah works now | 00:06 |
| mophead | glitsj16 : yeah... the terminal says I have that installed already. | 00:06 |
| burnt | thanks | 00:06 |
| loganrun | Ghosthunter007, not sure, is there one installed by default? | 00:06 |
| Ghosthunter007 | no | 00:06 |
| burnt | fb is not allowed on my box dont care how much people wana *share* | 00:07 |
| Ghosthunter007 | you can control it best with firestarter it simple easy to use | 00:07 |
| carlp | Greetings - not sure if this is the right place or not. I've got several Ubuntu Precise 64bit images I am spinning up in XenServer. If they use XFS the work once and then fail to boot with a XFS read only error. Is there a workaround for this? | 00:07 |
| marsfligth | daptordarattler: I tryed '# passwd' only to try to change the root password, but I get the same result as typing 'passwd myusernameblocked'. In both cases it gives nor messages, no errors, just ignore all exept in this cae 'passdw -d myusernameblecked' | 00:07 |
| Ghosthunter007 | just open your apps store search firestarter and install it | 00:07 |
| burnt | whats the command line to restart gnome pannels in gnome classic | 00:07 |
| Ghosthunter007 | sorry "Ubuntu Software center" | 00:07 |
| loganrun | Ghosthunter007: I am trying to run the program iperf but it says no route to host, but ping etc works fine so I am thinking it is a firewall issue | 00:07 |
| Ghosthunter007 | Loganrun did you check your route ? | 00:08 |
| escott | marsfligth, what error message | 00:09 |
| daptordarattler | escott no error messages | 00:09 |
| loganrun | GhostFreeman, ping, ssh work find, but if I try the port 5001 that iperf uses it won't connect, seems like firewall issue to me | 00:10 |
| loganrun | Ghosthunter007, ping, ssh work find, but if I try the port 5001 that iperf uses it won't connect, seems like firewall issue to me | 00:10 |
| loganrun | Ghosthunter007: may be on the server side though if ubuntu does not use a firewall | 00:10 |
| Ghosthunter007 | open up ubuntu software center > search firestarter then install it then you can turn it on and off but by default no firewall is enabled | 00:11 |
| daptordarattler | escott , marsfligth : i think it has something to do with the encryption | 00:11 |
| loganrun | Ghosthunter007, yep that was it, ubuntu is off the hook | 00:11 |
| Ghosthunter007 | loganrun look at your syslogs it may also give error message | 00:11 |
| loganrun | GhostFreeman, the server was supposed to have the firewall disabled, not sure what happened, but problem solved, thanks | 00:12 |

| Shano56 | a website | 00:21 |
| marsfligth | daptordarattler: Thanks for helping me. Now I make few backups and then I'll try to use chroot with a live cd crossing the fingers :-) Have good time | 00:22 |
| daptordarattler | u too | 00:22 |
| trism | c0deMaster: visit: http://geoip.ubuntu.com/lookup and it will show you | 00:23 |
| c0deMaster | trism, and why I'm seeing many connections to ettercap to that URL ? | 00:24 |
| conley | Java applets aren't working. I have java installed. Anyone else experiencing similar issues? | 00:24 |
| IPfreely | its a locater I think its installed by default I block | 00:24 |

| trism | c0deMaster: I believe indicator-datetime uses it | 00:25 |
| trism | c0deMaster: through geoclue-ubuntu-geoip | 00:25 |
| V3NG3NC3 | anyone know how to use dolphin? | 00:26 |
| c0deMaster | is there a tool for extrusion detection or prevention ? | 00:26 |
| trism | c0deMaster: you can install geoclue-manual and uninstall geoclue-ubuntu-geoip if you are really worried about it | 00:26 |
| jimi_hendrix | hi, i just installed ubuntu on my lenovo y580 laptop, and right clicking won't work. i assume this has something to do with my synaptic drivers, but does anyone have any insight? | 00:28 |
| IPfreely | c0deMaster, its Big Brother secret tracking program like DCS1000 aka carnivore joking,,,,, you can just uninstall it and use a college or national NTP server | 00:29 |
| buhman | where could I get a less-ancient version of grub2 packaged for 12.04? | 00:29 |
| coreyman | What is a good PHP editor that will allow me to download remote files, save locally, and upload when ready? | 00:30 |
| V3NG3NC3 | how do i unzip with dolphin? | 00:30 |
| c0deMaster | IPfreely, its not about the NTP but in general extrusion detection | 00:31 |
| IPfreely | c0deMaster, I use firestarter along with portsentry < rocks since you can set counter measure scripts | 00:31 |
| IPfreely | Coreyman gPHPedit is simple and should do what you want | 00:32 |
| Ray65 | hallo | 00:32 |
| coreyman | IPfreely i couldn't find where to download remote files and upload them. | 00:33 |
| c0deMaster | IPfreely, can you share IPtables rules for desktop? | 00:33 |
| burnt | is there a program etc that will allow me to block urls by name, eg, porn etc... for the kids :) | 00:33 |
| coreyman | IPfreely looks like it was just a simple editor for local files. | 00:33 |
| burnt | I can block fb with hosts but if the url said somthinginnocent.com/pics/pornscene.jpg they can see it | 00:34 |
| burnt | tia :) | 00:34 |
| conley | burnt: Put OpenWRT on your router and go from there | 00:34 |
| IPfreely | coreyman Bluefish editor is way more advanced and may have what you want | 00:34 |
| jimi_hendrix | anyone? | 00:34 |
| burnt | conley dont think it will run on mine, free one from isp | 00:34 |
| rattatoue | jimi_hendrix: whats wrong? | 00:35 |
| conley | coreyman: And it might be the only good PHP editor you can find, really. I don't know why, but PHP editors are notoriously hard to find | 00:35 |
| jimi_hendrix | rattatoue, just installed ubuntu 12.04 on my new laptop, and i don't have a right click | 00:35 |
| jimi_hendrix | all clicks are left clicks | 00:35 |
| IPfreely | burnt dont block with hosts file use iptables or as Conley said OPenWRT | 00:35 |
| conley | jimi_hendrix: Did you check the mouse settings? | 00:36 |
| conley | If not, you can edit the touchpad settings | 00:36 |
| conley | Wow. Scratch that last sentence. If you HAVE, and they look okay, you can edit the touchpad configuration by hand | 00:37 |
| rattatoue | jimi_hendrix: what kind of laptop is it? | 00:37 |

| jimi_hendrix | rattatoue, lenovo y580 | 00:37 |
| rattatoue | jimi_hendrix: 3.2.0-26 kernel? | 00:38 |
| jimi_hendrix | conley, i dont see anything in settings about left and right clicking, other than left and right handedness | 00:38 |
| buhman | does ubuntu have a metapackage that installs things that people would likely need to compile arbitrary software? | 00:38 |
| buhman | a base-devel or something? | 00:38 |
| jimi_hendrix | rattatoue, 3.2.0-23 | 00:38 |
| Kevin` | buhman: build-essential | 00:39 |
| conley | jimi_hendrix: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 00:39 |
| rattatoue | jimi_hendrix: try running the update-manager and dist-upgrade there is a new kernel out 26 might fix your issues | 00:39 |
| jimi_hendrix | alright | 00:39 |
| jimi_hendrix | was this a known thing? | 00:39 |
| conley | jimi_hendrix: That and a reboot will most likely fix things. If not, it's a simple fix to put things right | 00:39 |
| jimi_hendrix | alright, i will be back in a bit. going to do some things while this updates | 00:40 |
| buhman | Kevin`: thanks | 00:40 |
| rattatoue | jimi_hendrix: there is a few reports about it being an issue, I am just thinking maybe one of the updates might address the issue since you haven't ran the update-manager yet | 00:41 |
| gartral | hey everyone, when jumping from one LTS too another, do you have too follow the standard upgrade chain? | 00:42 |
| rattatoue | gartral: no, you can go straight from 10.04 to 12.04 | 00:42 |
| rattatoue | gartral: from one LTS to another | 00:42 |

| MissVera | "Ubi-language failed with exit code 1. Further information may be found in /var/log/syslog. Do you want to try running this step again before continuing? If you do not, your installation may fail entirely or may be broken" Anyone know much about this? I tried google, but cant seem to find an answer, just a bug report. | 00:43 |
| IPfreely | yes Canadian1296 | 00:43 |
| rattatoue | gartral: i think its this sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 00:43 |
| IPfreely | Canadian1296, setup nagios | 00:43 |
| Canadian1296 | IPfreely: I'll google it, since idk what that is | 00:44 |
| IPfreely | Canadian1296, its a network Monitoring program you can seriously drill down on a host with it even monitor high mem or low drive space | 00:44 |
| rattatoue | MissVera: it might be easier to find a fix, if you actually cat /var/log/syslog and see what the error is in there and google search that | 00:44 |
| Canadian1296 | IPfreely: I'll install it, then if I have any questions, I'll ask. Thanks | 00:45 |
| MissVera | rattatoue, being that I have minimal (ie, none) experience with Ubuntu, The liklihood of me even finding that folder is slim, and figuring out what info to pull from it, is... .. Yeah... | 00:46 |
| IPfreely | NP I can even email you a build doc on it and the coolest thing about it you can manage it from web or smart phone | 00:46 |
| RxDx | is there any trackpad shortcut (using multifingers) to show the desktop or the dash (in unity and gnome-shell), just like OS X? | 00:46 |
| IPfreely | it also has sms email notification | 00:46 |
| rattatoue | MissVera: when you get that error type "sudo cat /var/log/syslog" in a terminal, it wlil give you a lot of stuff, what you want is the last probably like 10 lines of text. Go to pastebin.com and copy and past those lines into there and click submit at the bottom. Then paste the URL it gives you here and ill try to help you find a fix for your problem.

| nooooob | I deleted my /temp folder in ubuntu and cant log into my account. The login screen appears; but, I cant log in. How can I fix it? | 00:49 |
| gartral | MissVera: alternatively sudo cat /var/log/syslog | tail | 00:50 |
| genii-around | Alternately entirely: tail -n20 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit | 00:50 |
| nooooob | I tried using recovery mode; but it didnt help | 00:51 |
| nooooob | Help? | 00:52 |
| rattatoue | nooooob: patience, if someone knows how to help with the issue or is free to help with it they will answer soon as they can. just have to be patience. | 00:52 |
| jimi_hendrix | alright i updated and my trackpad problem persists | 00:53 |
| rattatoue | jimi_hendrix: I did find a possible fix, but its for the HP touchpad, so I don't think it would work for yours | 00:53 |

| rattatoue | MissVera: sorry I can't help you, looks like your issue is in xubuntu and I don't have much expierence with xubuntu | 00:59 |
| P-Chan | MissVera: i use xubuntu. repeat the question | 01:00 |
| MissVera | P-Chan, I dont even know the question. But, the Xubuntu bit has never mattered until now... Apparently. But. "Ubi-language failed with exit code 1. Further info may be found in /var/log/syslog. Do you want to try running this step again before continuing? If you do not, your installation may fail entirely or may be broken. Last time i installed, I didnt get this error, but I had tons of issues that escott helped me resolve. Somethi | 01:02 |

| MissVera | P-Chan, " (A) you need to install grub, (b) make initrds (c) update-grub" fixed all my previous issues. But I had to reinstall anyway.

| MissVera | P-Chan, After escott, helped with chroot, and the grub issues, it worked beautifully, but, I could only sign in as a guest because of the corrupted install. | 01:04 |
| escott | MissVera, have you run the memtest? its on the install cd | 01:04 |
| MissVera | escott, I think thats the one option I've never used. one minute. | 01:05 |
| escott | MissVera, it can take a substantial amount of time, but you usually know if its good or bad within the first 30minutes or so | 01:06 |
| genii-around | P-Chan: The method which uses the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf at http://askubuntu.com/questions/63681/how-can-i-make-xrandr-customization-permanent looks like your best bet... just put your current xrandr commands in a file and it gets called from the conf file, etc | 01:07 |
| MissVera | escott, Okay. I was trying to reinstall like you'd told me, but, issues again >.> After all you helped me with before, it ran great, I just could only use the guest account :/ | 01:07 |

| escott | MissVera, where did you get this cd? | 01:08 |
| MissVera | escott I made a live USB using UNetBootin. I've md5sum ... whatever it is. That's fine. I've checked for defects, and its fine. And I got the iso from the source of this distro? http://voyager.legtux.org/ | 01:10 |
| escott | MissVera, never heard of this voyager thing. use the images from ubuntu.com | 01:10 |

| bubbly | really , i need flash | 01:42 |
| trism | sandeen_: you're free to ask here as well, I just thought they might have more info | 01:42 |
| melkor | bubbly: I think it is called flashplayer-installer. Do you have synaptic? If not you can install that. | 01:42 |
| melkor | bubbly: also tab complete works, apt-get isntall flash<tab> it should give you a list of options. | 01:43 |
| P-Chan | hey guys i am crazy. I INSTALLed unofficial package here | 01:43 |
| P-Chan | http://vljubovic.members.epn.ba/ubuntu.html | 01:43 |
| bubbly | synaptic will only work if i have the channel in /etc/apt/sources.list, which i do not by default | 01:43 |
| P-Chan | Do I crazy? | 01:43 |
| melkor | bubbly: then just go d/load flashplayer, all you have to do is put the libflashplay.so in the correct directory. | 01:44 |
| melkor | bubbly: you cannot use apt to install software that isnt in your sources.list anyways. | 01:44 |
| IdleOne | bubbly: you can download a .deb for Ubuntu from the adobe site | 01:45 |
| bubbly | getting flash, but still wonder if x supports intel 845gl graphics | 01:47 |

| yalex | Hello, having trouble with python based apps in 12.04. They seem to not terminate when closed and start over CPU usage Gwibber and Shotwell seem to be candidates | 01:59 |
| yalex | is there an updated python PPA that might fix this? | 02:00 |
| trism | yalex: shotwell isn't python based | 02:00 |
| yalex | thanks trism interesting, I'd closed it and then it saw it continue to ramp up CPU usage and everything seems much more responsive once python is terminated. | 02:01 |
| P-Chan | Hey guys i am crazy. I installed this package http://vljubovic.members.epn.ba/ubuntu.html | 02:01 |
| P-Chan | Maybe spyware? LOL | 02:02 |
| triunity | Test | 02:02 |
| P-Chan | triunity: I tested and removed now | 02:03 |
| genii-around | !test| triunity | 02:03 |
| ubottu | triunity: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) | 02:03 |
| P-Chan | IF it affected my system I don't know | 02:03 |
| triunity | :) sorry | 02:03 |
| yalex | is there an updated gwibber ppa? | 02:03 |
| IdleOne | P-Chan: if you don't know wether to trust the source of a package you should not install the package | 02:03 |
| dr_willis | !ppasearch | 02:03 |
| P-Chan | but before installed these packege | 02:04 |
| ceti331 | is there a way to make apt-get force get even if it thinks the package is up to date | 02:05 |
| IdleOne | yalex: https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-daily/+archive/ppa not tested by me. | 02:05 |
| yalex | thanks IdleOne | 02:05 |
| dr_willis | ceti331: you mean force a redownload? or a reinstall? | 02:05 |
| ceti331 | yes re-install | 02:06 |
| yalex | I'm only using office/browsing some image editing would performance improve undr fglrx? I try to avoid proprietary drivers if I can | 02:06 |
| dr_willis | thers a --reinstrall option | 02:06 |
| blackstripes | anyone with mdadm experience? | 02:06 |
| dr_willis | yalex: i would imagine it would depend on the exact chipset | 02:06 |
| ceti331 | thanks, thats running | 02:07 |

| blackstripes | ok, so i need help adding a 2TB drive to a 3x1TB raid 5 | 02:08 |
| blackstripes | wanting to partition off 1tb and add that, no idea how to do it | 02:08 |
| escott | blackstripes, without a change of personality? | 02:09 |
| blackstripes | not sure what you mean by that.. | 02:09 |
| Balask | hello, I'm trying to run World of Goo from Ubuntu 64bit and I don't get an error when I click on it but it doesn't execute either | 02:09 |
| escott | blackstripes, you can't add one disk to raid five without restriping | 02:10 |
| blackstripes | i'm under the impression i can add the disk and then grow the raid array | 02:10 |
| blackstripes | the expand the file system | 02:10 |
| Balask | I read the log file and I don't see an error from it | 02:10 |
| escott | blackstripes, not with raid 5 | 02:10 |
| blackstripes | this is using mdadm, fyi | 02:10 |
| escott | blackstripes, mdadm might support a raid 5 with N disk to a raid 5 with M disks with a personality switch but that is an extremely time consuming operation, and you should backup before even considering it | 02:12 |
| myk_robinson | evening all. Looking for an app recommendation for 12.04 that will sniff out and map a local area network, similar to Fing on Android. There used to be an app in the repositories called lanmap.. Any suggestions? | 02:12 |
| jmfurlott | Does anyone have poor performance using full screen flash? My computer isn't that strong - it only has an i3 but this should be more than enough to handle full screen videos | 02:12 |
| jagginess | Balask, did you try the .deb demo? (if you have the full edition thats fine), if you install the .deb dpkg -i <.deb>, then apt-get -f install, the dependencies will be installed | 02:13 |
| Balask | I have the full version. A friend gave it to me as a gift, it is the official .dev though | 02:14 |
| genii-around | jagginess: Yeah, likely needs some 32bit deps | 02:14 |
| blackstripes | escott, i was planning on running this command - mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdf | 02:14 |
| Balask | I mean it installed fine | 02:14 |
| jagginess | Balask, you used the tarball/deb ? | 02:14 |
| Balask | yep | 02:15 |
| Balask | the deb | 02:15 |
| blackstripes | then mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --raid-devices=4 | 02:15 |
| blackstripes | looks fairly straightforward to me... | 02:15 |
| jagginess | Balask, what does apt-cache show <packagename> say? | 02:15 |
| Balask | "WorldOfGooSetup.1.41.deb" | 02:15 |
| escott | blackstripes, take a backup. power outage and everything is gone | 02:15 |
| blackstripes | i'm just hung up on sizing and formatting the partition to linux raid auto-detect | 02:15 |
| jagginess | Balask, http://goofans.com/faq/world-goo/technical-questions .. it says it can run under 64-bit linux.. maybe there's a 64-bit link | 02:16 |
| blackstripes | isn't that what the mdadm.conf is for? | 02:16 |
| jagginess | Balask, if you got it as a gift, you should have some 'id' registration with that software. | 02:17 |
| escott | blackstripes, you should look at the wikipedia page on raid levels and make sure you understand what RAID 5 means | 02:18 |
| blackstripes | escott, i'm not sure what you are trying to tell me. I've read it and (think) I understand things fine. 3 drives, with parity, ability to lose 1 drive w/otu loss of data | 02:20 |
| filco | hi, im trying to get irssi to start on boot up | 02:20 |
| filco | with ubuntu 12.04 | 02:20 |
| blackstripes | escott, i'm just trying to grow my array to increase storage. if i'm missing something please point it out to me | 02:20 |
| escott | blackstripes, and now you propose to add a 4th drive. so where does the data come from that ends up on this disk? | 02:20 |
| filco | in the startup applications, i've put /bin/bash /bin/irssi | 02:20 |
| filco | it's not working | 02:21 |
| blackstripes | that is the point of the grow command | 02:21 |
| escott | blackstripes, currently a block is split into an EVEN and ODD section and a PARITY section. with that fourth disk EVEN and ODD is not a usable split you need to split the data into thirds not half | 02:21 |
| Nineain | m4v: :D | 02:21 |
| filco | does anyone know how to get it to work? | 02:22 |
| blackstripes | so are you suggesting i must add 2 drives? | 02:22 |
| blackstripes | 2 even, 2 odd, 1 parity? | 02:22 |
| escott | filco, that works. it starts irssi in a bash shell. but you probably want to view that irssi session so you might want gnome-terminal -e /bin/irssi | 02:22 |
| escott | blackstripes, im suggesting you take a full backup before you do anything that requires you rewrite the entire contents of the disks | 02:23 |
| filco | as the command? | 02:23 |
| filco | i write that in startup applications? | 02:23 |
| dr_willis | filco: what are you doing exaxtly? | 02:24 |
| blackstripes | escott, ok, time to buy a new drive | 02:24 |
| coreyman | So I did this command usermod -G fuse coreyman (because of a tutorial) and now I am not in the sudoers group and I can't put myself back in... how do I get back in sudo? | 02:24 |
| escott | coreyman, boot to recovery or chroot in from a livecd and run usermod -a -G sudo coreyman | 02:25 |
| genii-around | coreyman: Since you did not put the -a for append, that is the only group that user belongs to now | 02:25 |
| dr_willis | nasty typo there. missing the -a | 02:25 |
| dr_willis | should be repairable from the recovery/rescue mode shouldent it? | 02:26 |
| ceti331 | i appear to have really broken it | 02:26 |
| ceti331 | i can run fluxbox so the machine is ok, | 02:26 |

| Ayoo | hey | 02:26 |
| Ayoo | has anyone ever used ffmpeg auto installer? | 02:27 |
| dr_willis | Ayoo: some script to compile the latest ffmpeg? | 02:27 |
| Ayoo | basically | 02:27 |
| Ayoo | anyway it made a dir with a lot of .sh files. | 02:28 |
| Ayoo | but I need the path to the ffmpeg/ | 02:28 |
| filco | how do i set it so it launches "below" other windows | 02:28 |
| Ayoo | I can't find that path. | 02:29 |
| filco | i think i can do it with compiz, but compiz doesn't seem to be working | 02:29 |
| filco | the window rules wont work | 02:29 |
| blackstripes | disk utility states my 2TB drive is misaligned by 2560 bytes and that reparitioning is suggested | 02:29 |
| blackstripes | any tips? | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | Ayoo: it may have put the binaries in /opt/ somewhere or /usr/local | 02:29 |
| escott | blackstripes, move the start 2560 bytes | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | 'which ffmpeg' would show its location if its in the default path | 02:30 |
| blackstripes | escott, using what utility | 02:31 |
| escott | blackstripes, the partition editor | 02:31 |
| Like | Sudo apt-get install ffmpeg | 02:32 |

| croz | Good evening. I'm trying to play Diablo 3 using Playonlinux. I just tried to load Diablo 3 after installing it successfully and I received an error saying that my video card is not supported by D3.

| devslash | wow gee thanks | 03:11 |

| spjt | devslash: If you're using SSH you can block the port to only IP's you know you're going to be accessing it with | 03:11 |
| escott | devslash, turning it off has the unfortunate side effect that you cant get data to it. throwing it into a black hole is better | 03:12 |
| devslash | i thought of that but its not that simple since outside of my lan i access it from 2 devices that don't have static ips | 03:12 |

| yeahbuddy | jthan it still says 4.0.14 i might need to reboot? | 03:15 |
| jthan | yeahbuddy: Did you apt-get update? | 03:15 |
| yeahbuddy | jthan yes i did | 03:15 |
| jthan | then that's the latest version in the repositories | 03:16 |
| spjt | it looks like CSF is free although I don't think it's in the ubuntu repos | 03:16 |
| yeahbuddy | jthan it says on their website that 4.1.3 is the latest | 03:16 |
| jthan | May be the latest they released, but it is not the latest that anyone has packaged / tested for Ubuntu. | 03:16 |
| wylde | jthan: it's handy package. I use it on my VPS. | 03:16 |
| jthan | wylde: I used to as well. I never really had too many bans though, so I discontinued its use for awhile. | 03:17 |
| jthan | Mostly when I switched distros I forgot to reinstall it :-p | 03:17 |
| wylde | jthan: lol. Well it doesn't hurt to be there, not like it really eats an resources. :) | 03:17 |
| yeahbuddy | jthan im running pinguyos but since its based on ubuntu it should have same repos? The problem is that playonlinux tells me that i have a to old version to install ms office 2010... | 03:18 |
| jthan | wylde: I don't know... hahaha | 03:18 |
| wylde | yeahbuddy: that's not supported here | 03:18 |
| wylde | yeahbuddy: "based on" Ubuntu doesn't make it ubuntu | 03:18 |
| xangua | yeahbuddy: only official derivates are supported here | 03:18 |
| jthan | yeahbuddy: Additionally I don't see the package anywhere in the ubuntu repos . | 03:18 |
| spjt | I'm going to install CSF on my vps, I'll tell you if it works or not. | 03:19 |
| jthan | yeahbuddy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/allpackages | 03:19 |
| yeahbuddy | wylde might not but im not sure if it would hurt to help all linux runners? the small amount there is i would help everyone i could :/ | 03:19 |
| jthan | yeahbuddy: If you want a newer version than what is provided by the offical repository of your distribution, you have to compile it yourself. | 03:19 |
| yeahbuddy | jthan okey thank you :) would it be any problem if i do it manually (might not sync with the repos updates) | 03:20 |
| dr_willis | !ppa | 03:20 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 03:20 |
| dr_willis | wine has ppas | 03:20 |
| spjt | it looks like csf installs without any issues on at least 11.04 | 03:20 |
| devslash | ok so i installed fail2ban | 03:21 |
| jthan | yeahbuddy: It definitely will not sync with the repositories. YOu can setup a ppa like dr_willis recommended, or you can just compile updates as they come along. | 03:21 |
| rokd | Hey guys my friend has an old ubuntu version on a flashdrive and when she boots into it the wifi doesnt work. Would a simple "apt-get update" work possibly? | 03:21 |
| Gnea | !arm | 03:21 |
| ubottu | ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. | 03:21 |
| devslash | can you guys think of anything else i need to be concerned about securing ? | 03:21 |
| jthan | rokd: All apt-get update does it gets the latest list of packages from the repos | 03:21 |
| wylde | yeahbuddy: for all you know the advice you receive here my very well break your system as the helpers here expect the tools and configurations to be ubnutu's. We have no way of know what changes were made in the other distro. | 03:21 |
| jthan | devslash: You should probably go to the datacenter where your box is and make sure they lock their doors :-p | 03:22 |
| dr_willis | devslash: logwatch give a nice summary of info you may want to see | 03:22 |
| jthan | ^^ he's more serious than I am. | 03:22 |
| PlowRox | <devslash> yeah the power cord is the best secure device out there...un plug it | 03:22 |
| scocos | Does anyone know where I can find a file on Ubuntu 10.04 showing me the list of installed packages? I cannot use dpkg, as I've had to mount the drive as a second disk on another bootable system | 03:23 |
| jthan | scocos: chroot | 03:23 |
| yeahbuddy | okey thank you very much! | 03:23 |
| escott | !chroot | scocos | 03:23 |
| ubottu | scocos: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 03:23 |
| dr_willis | scocos: chroot into it and you can use dpkg | 03:23 |
| wylde | devslash: if you run a webserver you could lookup securing it with mod_rewrite rules :) | 03:23 |
| scocos | ha. didn't think of that. thanks a lot | 03:24 |
| devslash | what would that do for me ? | 03:24 |
| in_ | hey everyone | 03:25 |
| wylde | devslash: well certain cookie poisoning attacks, code injection attacks and others can be prevented using mod_rewrite. | 03:25 |
| wylde | (above and beyound proper coding that is) :) | 03:25 |
| devslash | I'm using wordpress. so would i have to use wordpress specific mod_rewrite rules ? | 03:25 |
| in_ | does anyone know some good books for kde beginers | 03:26 |
| jthan | /facepalm | 03:26 |
| jthan | in_: The internet! | 03:26 |
| jthan | in_: http://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials | 03:26 |
| wylde | devslash: ahh yeah I'd do some reading before playing with mod_rewrite with wordpress. There's probably a plugin for it already made anyway heh | 03:26 |
| devslash | yea | 03:26 |
| in_ | thanks jthan. Really appreciate that | 03:26 |
| jthan | in_: Anytime. Hope it helps. Just poke around. There are some good videos on YouTube too that just help you explore and figure things out. | 03:27 |

| === Neurotiquette is now known as mdpatrick | ||
| dr_willis | !java | 03:36 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 03:36 |

| IveBeenBit | Quick question: I am trying to get used to the Ubuntu terminal and I've got a bunch of stopped processes running somehow (visible if I type "jobs"). How do I terminate those processes so it lets me out of the terminal? | 03:44 |
| mjwillz4 | It turns out when you set your bios to IDE and you plug your harddrives into AHCI plugs, things tend to disappear. | 03:44 |
| elky | IveBeenBit, "fg" | 03:45 |
| dr_willis | IveBeenBit: job controll commands include 'fg' 'bg' 'jobs' and use of 'nohup' and ctrl-z ;) | 03:45 |
| dr_willis | may wan tto search for a guide on 'bash job controll' | 03:45 |
| IveBeenBit | OK I will do that. Thank you. | 03:46 |
| BlackWeb | Does any one use rtorrent with the Magnet.sh Script to convert Magnets to Torrent files, I've checked rtorrents website and no ideas, I download a script thats suppose to help convert it, but receiving a error on the line of code if Paste the code could anyone help identify the problem | 03:50 |
| IveBeenBit | dr_willis: yay! It worked. Thanks holmes. | 03:52 |
| BlackWeb | [[ "$1" =~ xt=urn:btih:([^&/]+) ]] || exit its failing with Syntax Error: "(" unexpected | 03:52 |
| blackshirt | is it possible to auto reconnect with network-manager when connection has gone ? | 03:52 |
| zykotick9 | IveBeenBit: dr_willis i find using "screen" a lot more powerful and covenient then the typical "job control" opition... just my 2 cents | 03:55 |
| dr_willis | byobu is what ti tend to use | 03:55 |
| dr_willis | BlackWeb: is the script using sh or bash? whats the first line look like? the #!/bin/bash or /bin/sh line. | 03:57 |
| === Guest5209 is now known as AndrewMC | ||
| BlackWeb | I think i figured it out dr_willis | 04:01 |
| BlackWeb | if it doesnt have anything at the top then what do you run it as | 04:02 |
| BlackWeb | cause before i was doing sh Magnet.sh | 04:02 |
| BlackWeb | then did ./Magnet.sh and it worked | 04:02 |
| BlackWeb | with ./Magnet.sh is that just plain sh | 04:02 |
| kanupatar | while installing linux , what are the recommended mount points ? /home , / and /swap? | 04:03 |
| croz | Anyone know how to set a particular sound output device as the default. Every time I reboot I have no sound because the system is using the wrong output device (using HDMI output instead of the laptop speakers). | 04:03 |
| gogli | kanupatar: / only | 04:03 |
| jthan | croz: http://askubuntu.com/questions/145135/set-default-sound-device-output | 04:04 |
| kanupatar | gogli: so if i have 100 gb available for installation , i have to give one / mount point with ext4 journaling primary partition ? | 04:05 |
| gogli | well without '/' , you can't install linux on system .Its recommended .after allotting space to /(root) , you can choose other acording to your need | 04:06 |
| zykotick9 | kanupatar: creating a swap partition (equal to RAM) is a good idea (but it doesn't get mounted to /swap if you check fstab swap gets a "none" for a mount point ;) | 04:07 |
| croz | thanks jthan | 04:07 |
| croz | Any of you know or recommend any software that will dim the screen kind of like apps for mac os x do. | 04:07 |
| croz | My screen is too bright late at night, even when I set the LCD to the dimmest settings. | 04:07 |
| croz | Also early in the morning it's too bright. my eyes want dark :( | 04:07 |
| kanupatar | zykotick9: so /home and / are only needed ? | 04:08 |
| dr_willis | BlackWeb: it s poorly done script then. it should begin with a #!/bin/bash line, and you dont sh .thething. :) that would run it with sh not bash. | 04:08 |
| jthan | croz: NOt sure if this will pertain to 12.04 http://wilmor24.wordpress.com/2010/05/11/change-screen-brightness-from-terminal-ubuntu-10-04/ | 04:08 |
| kanupatar | why do create mount points? | 04:08 |
| zykotick9 | kanupatar: i don't personally think /home is a good idea - but MOST would disagree. | 04:08 |
| devslash | i set up mail or so i thought but when i do mail myemail@gmail.com and type a message, hit ctrl D then enter i don't see an error but i don't receive it at myemail@gmail.com | 04:08 |
| jthan | devslash: You have a mail server running? | 04:09 |
| devslash | i think so | 04:09 |
| devslash | i did a dpkg-configure package name where package was the mail host name | 04:09 |
| gogli | kanupatar: / is necessary .mount point are needed for better use of memory management | 04:09 |
| devslash | i don't remember right now | 04:09 |
| BlackWeb | ya its only 3 lines, and it works to convert the magnet link to torrent but the torrent file doesnt work which i only got it to work by ./Magnet.sh not sh Magnet.sh | 04:09 |
| jthan | devslash: That seems a bit too simple :-p | 04:10 |
| kanupatar | ok..in which mount point i need to install the linux? /home? | 04:10 |
| zykotick9 | gogli: ".mount point..." what? mount points have 0 to do with memory | 04:10 |
| devslash | i followed a gui dialog which asked a bunch of questions | 04:10 |
| dr_willis | BlackWeb: thats because its using 'bash' features, :) not the less complex 'sh' | 04:10 |
| jthan | devslash: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch21_:_Configuring_Linux_Mail_Servers#Configuring_Sendmail | 04:10 |
| devslash | and created a main.cfg | 04:10 |
| BlackWeb | Was trying to make sure my server can convert the magnet links to torrent files then have rtorrent get them for me but I found a website that will do it for free, which is what I might have to end up using | 04:11 |
| gogli | zykotick9: mount point are very important for memory management . kanupatar : choose / for installing linux | 04:11 |
| BlackWeb | Thanks :) | 04:11 |
| kanupatar | for a 100 gb hdd and 2 gb ram , is this would be fine ? 50 gb - /home , 45gb - / and 5 gb swap ? | 04:11 |
| kanupatar | gogli: this is for y0ou | 04:12 |
| * dr_willis dosent see how mountpoints are related to memory management.. Hard drive Space management.. yes.. memory.. no. | 04:12 | |
| gogli | kanupatar: whats your RAM? | 04:12 |
| dr_willis | kanupatar: 20gb for / has been plenty for me. many people just use 10gb for / | 04:12 |
| devslash | ok thanks | 04:12 |
| kanupatar | 2gb | 04:12 |
| croz | is there any software to help dim the screen or add a darker layer over what im reading. i have my laptop set to dimmest setting and it's still too bright. | 04:13 |
| kanupatar | dr_willis: so what would be the minimum required for / ? | 04:13 |
| gogli | kanupatar: then use only 2gb for swap | 04:13 |
| dr_willis | kanupatar: depends on what you are doing. i wouldent go under 10gb. | 04:13 |
| dr_willis | kanupatar: ive definatly filled up a 10gb / befor. | 04:13 |
| zykotick9 | kanupatar: 2gb is WAY to small! | 04:13 |
| kanupatar | so what would be the minimum required for / ? | 04:14 |
| kanupatar | why we need 10 gb min? | 04:14 |
| Aptar | I have a CD that is used to install a program on a windows O.S.....will the cd run using wine? | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | kanupatar: cache and tmp space are also on / | 04:14 |
| kanupatar | dr_willis: ok | 04:15 |
| kanupatar | all others in //home? | 04:15 |
| dr_willis | Aptar: should. or copy all the files from it. to your home dir and wine thesetup.exe | 04:15 |
| zykotick9 | kanupatar: default install is 4+GB and updating adding software takes space! | 04:15 |
| kanupatar | what happens if i didn't create a partition for / ? | 04:15 |

| kanupatar | dr_willis: without /home? | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | /home exists under / | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | so it can be just a directory | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | or it can be its own filesystem you mount TO /home/ | 04:20 |
| Chad___ | kanupatar: dr_willis is correct. I'd install my home folder on a seperate partition if I were you. | 04:21 |
| dr_willis | my /home/ is on its own 3TB hard drive ;) | 04:21 |

| dr_willis | you dont install without a /home/ normally :) the dir is where all yoiur users 'home' directrrories are kept. | 04:24 |
| kanupatar | dr_willis: ohh ..otherwise ? /home will not be shwn under / ? | 04:24 |

| daniel110 | deper29: any solutions? i tried google it but i just found people complaining about the issue | 04:56 |
| bob1284 | hi folks is it possible to use a 2.6x kernel instead of the new 3 series ones? | 04:57 |
| deper29 | daniel110, I've never bothered to fix it myself. The problem is that if your laptop goes into suspend mode for some reason networking becomes disabled. To make matters worse, it only seems to happen sometimes for me | 04:57 |
| zykotick9 | bob1284: 10.04 still has a little while of support | 04:58 |
| bob1284 | zykotick9: thanks I just have a wireless card that works great for 2.6 kernels but is dead in the water with the new 3 series. | 04:59 |
| daniel110 | deper29: how do i fix it when i turn it on. I restart the laptop each time | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | disable where the laptop hibernate/siuspemnds when you shut the lid.. | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | or perhaps unload/reload the network card module. | 05:00 |
| deper29 | I go to the wireless thing at the top, right click, then enable networking | 05:00 |
| zykotick9 | bob1284: my hauppauge tv card had a kernel regreshion issue - so i feel your pain | 05:00 |
| deper29 | or do what dr_willis says. He is a genius among men and has helped me out far too many times | 05:00 |
| deper29 | :) | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | dont ever shut the lid. ;) | 05:01 |
| kiamo | hi | 05:01 |
| kiamo | any clues on how to fix "no screens found" when x tries to start on live usb. I cannot install nvidia drivers due to it not being persistent. | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset kiamo | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | kiamo | 05:02 |
| ubottu | kiamo: 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 | 05:02 |
| bob1284 | zykotick9: thanks think I'll give kubuntu a shot | 05:02 |
| kiamo | ah thanks Dr :) | 05:02 |
| zykotick9 | bob1284: same kernel | 05:02 |
| lotuspsychje | is it possible for root to start an application from another user (from terminal)? | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | lotuspsychje: should be possible. depends on the details as to how to go about it | 05:04 |
| deper29 | lotuspsychje, do you mean logging in through terminal as another user then launching the application? | 05:04 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje: yes. see sudo and/or su. | 05:04 |
| geirha | lotuspsychje: yes, sudo -u otheruser command | 05:04 |
| lotuspsychje | dr_willis: lets say i want to run chrome from another user | 05:04 |
| dr_willis | from user bob. as user bill? | 05:05 |
| lotuspsychje | yes | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | old skool way.. use 'sux' command. ;) | 05:05 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | open teminal as bob, do 'sux bill' run command... | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | !info sux | 05:05 |
| ubottu | sux (source: sux): wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-6 (precise), package size 9 kB, installed size 64 kB | 05:05 |
| Chad___ | dr_willis: Haha. I thought it was su? 0.O | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | its the X credentials that will be a security issue IF you just use su. | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | for non X apps. su will work. | 05:06 |
| lotuspsychje | lemme install that cool | 05:06 |
| Chad___ | dr_willis: Ah, okay. Thanks for informing me :) | 05:06 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: i've never actually used sux before, but the fact it's based of su is probably not ideal in an ubuntu environment... | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | theres ways to do the credentials by hand.. but i cant rember the proper way to do it. | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | i THINK.. somthing like 'xhost + localhost' 'su theotheruser' 'run the command' | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | su is fine for switching to a USEr.. but not to swwitch to root.... | 05:07 |
| buhman | is ubuntu's initramfs supposed to be able to handly root+/boot in mdraid+lvm? | 05:07 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: cool - sorry. | 05:07 |
| lotuspsychje | dr_willis: will it influence the other users history or can it be run clean? | 05:07 |
| dr_willis | bash history? not sure. | 05:07 |
| buhman | I've got grub working properly, but (grub I think) hangs on "Loading initial ramdisk.." | 05:08 |
| deper29 | lotuspsychje, just put a space before you make the command | 05:08 |
| buhman | by "working properly" I mean that grub loads grub.cfg properly when grub.cfg is located in a lvm logical volume contained inside a mdraid array. | 05:08 |
| lotuspsychje | deper29:tnx lol cool trick | 05:08 |
| deper29 | lotuspsychje, no prob ;) | 05:09 |
| lotuspsychje | dr_willis: isnt that a security issue other users can run packages like that? | 05:09 |
| dr_willis | lotuspsychje: thats the whold thing about X credentials to keep it from happing unless you set it to be allowed | 05:10 |
| dr_willis | xhost +localhost is not a 'good' way to do it. ;) | 05:10 |
| lotuspsychje | ok i got it | 05:10 |
| dr_willis | not sure of the proper way. which is why i use sux. | 05:10 |
| kiamo | bah | 05:10 |
| kiamo | no joy | 05:10 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje: one user's history should NEVER be seen by another user... | 05:10 |
| kiamo | still getting No screens found | 05:10 |
| dr_willis | bash historyis a totally differnt beast. ;) | 05:10 |
| kiamo | it's a really old card, geforce fx 5200 PCI | 05:10 |
| deper29 | zykotick9, if you sudo you can see it can't you? | 05:11 |
| IPfreely | Correct its why you should encrypt home drive per user and have a logout script to issue history -c | 05:11 |
| dr_willis | kiamo: perhaps try text mode, then try to tweak the X settings. | 05:11 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9:so if another user install sux he could never penetrate roots information? | 05:11 |
| kiamo | where do I tweak? | 05:11 |
| dr_willis | sux lets one user switch to another user. not to root. | 05:11 |
| dr_willis | !text | 05:11 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 05:11 |
| lotuspsychje | cool tnx | 05:12 |
| zykotick9 | deper29: ? not 100% i don't use sudo much anymore... i foolishly consider it a security risk, while ubuntu believes it's an advantage. i believe in users and admins as two entities ;) | 05:12 |
| kiamo | yea, im here in a bash shell | 05:12 |
| kiamo | but not sure how to continue on ^^ | 05:12 |
| dr_willis | kiamo: not sure with that old a card. | 05:13 |
| dr_willis | kiamo: what sort of monitor are you using? hdi/dvi/vga?laptop? | 05:13 |
| kiamo | dvi | 05:13 |
| lotuspsychje | dr_willis: when i try sux username chromium, password says incorrect | 05:14 |
| dr_willis | you could try installing the nvidia-current driver | 05:14 |
| dr_willis | sux may want the other users password.. not the current users password. | 05:14 |
| dr_willis | been ages since i last used sux | 05:14 |
| lotuspsychje | lets see | 05:14 |
| dr_willis | makes more sence for sux to want the OTHER users password. ;) | 05:15 |
| IPfreely | sudo in its default form is a security risk but you can make it secure then use selinux to create policies to lock it down more. | 05:15 |
| wylde | I know the nvidia-current is working for my NVIDIA Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1) <-- although it's running my 3rd monitor. | 05:15 |
| lotuspsychje | dr_willis: now its says env: chromium folder does not exist | 05:16 |
| gogli | how to know , how much swap area your system have given by me | 05:16 |
| dr_willis | lotuspsychje: no idea. | 05:16 |
| dr_willis | try it with a simpiler app lotuspsychje like gedit | 05:16 |
| wylde | gogli: free | 05:17 |
| lotuspsychje | dr_willis: cool that worked | 05:17 |
| IPfreely | lotuspsychje, why the google browser? it calls home | 05:17 |
| lotuspsychje | (gedit:6254): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported | 05:17 |
| lotuspsychje | it started gedit though | 05:18 |
| gogli | wylde : Swap: 0 0 0 , what that means | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | the sux'd user has no session manager running... so that makes sence.. | 05:18 |
| lotuspsychje | dr_willis:maybe it will not start x stuff after all | 05:18 |
| wylde | gogli: look at the headings in the columns? I your case that means you have no swap | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | lotuspsychje: thers more to gnome then just a single app. ::) | 05:18 |
| wylde | I =In | 05:18 |
| lotuspsychje | brb | 05:19 |
| gogli | wylde : how to create Swap area now | 05:19 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje: a quick check of "man sudo" shows an option for "sudo -u USER foo"... | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | !swap | 05:19 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | su/sux can be used when the user has no sudo rights - i beliove. | 05:19 |
| croz | dr_willis: what does "set editor" mean? here is the context for the question | 05:20 |
| croz | Set EDITOR to your favorite shell editor. Some examples: | 05:20 |
| croz | (in bash) export EDITOR=pico or export EDITOR=vi ... | 05:20 |
| croz | (in csh) setenv EDITOR pico or setenv EDITOR vi ... | 05:20 |
| croz | Use pico or nano if unsure. | 05:20 |
| FloodBot1 | croz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:20 |
| dr_willis | croz: EDITOR is a ssytem variable you can set. | 05:20 |
| IPfreely | no the user must be part of the sudoers in order to use the sudo command | 05:20 |
| croz | how do i set EDITOR. i've never heard of this | 05:20 |
| dr_willis | croz: the paste you gave.. has the exact commands to set it.. | 05:21 |
| dr_willis | bash system variables/enviroment variables... | 05:21 |
| dr_willis | check the section out in the various bash docs/guides | 05:21 |
| gogli | dr_willis: i want to create Swap area on LINUX USB | 05:21 |
| croz | how do i knwo if im using bash or csh? | 05:21 |

| G4L4CT1C4 | what's the different between sh and dash? does anyone knows? | 05:22 |
| dr_willis | dash is a optmiozed 'sh' | 05:22 |
| dr_willis | optmized | 05:22 |
| dr_willis | !info dash | 05:22 |
| ubottu | dash (source: dash): POSIX-compliant shell. In component main, is required. Version 0.5.7-2ubuntu2 (precise), package size 83 kB, installed size 206 kB | 05:22 |
| gogli | dr_willis : is it like casper-rw | 05:22 |
| Fuginator | Has anyone here used the MAAS w\ Openstack? I've used this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuCloudInfrastructure and have an issue... | 05:22 |
| dr_willis | gogli: swap can be a partition, or you can use a swap file. | 05:23 |
| G4L4CT1C4 | thanks dr_willis :) | 05:23 |
| wylde | Fuginator: I'm thinking #ubuntu-server may have more insight into that | 05:23 |
| IPfreely | if you use swap as partition make sure its encrypted | 05:23 |
| dr_willis | cant say i ever bothe rto encrypt swap... guess my dog could try to haxxor me whikle im at work,. l) | 05:24 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9: hmm how exactly would that work | 05:24 |
| dr_willis | then again. most new systeems with decent ram - rarely touch swap | 05:24 |
| lotuspsychje | IPfreely: u dont like chroium whatfor? | 05:25 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje: what are you trying to launch as the other user exactly? | 05:25 |
| IPfreely | dr_willis, If you dont encrypt swap your are prone to exploits and someone with the know how can recover critical information | 05:25 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9:lets say i wanna start chromium of another user from root shell | 05:25 |
| dr_willis | they may get my reddit password! ;0 | 05:26 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9:sudo -u otheruser chromium? | 05:26 |
| IPfreely | well that is the difference from a security person vs a novice user | 05:26 |
| dr_willis | sudo wont let a X app run as the other user.. i belive. | 05:26 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje: from root shell??? root can do anything - and you should be logged in as root on ubuntu. NO - don't use sudo with GUI apps! | 05:26 |
| zykotick9 | s/should/shouldn't/ | 05:27 |
| zykotick9 | !gksudo | 05:27 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 05:27 |
| Fuginator | wylde: thanks, I'll try there. | 05:27 |
| IPfreely | if I am not mistaken the first user account when installing Ubuntu has super user rights in most the gui apps if you dont check your policykit | 05:27 |
| G4L4CT1C4 | dr_willis: how to set up nginx server? coz I've always got an error message to star the nginx webserver | 05:28 |

| dr_willis | G4L4CT1C4: never used it. so no idea. | 05:28 |

| [flux] | IPfreely: so, 400+200+100+40+20+10+0+0+1 | 05:53 |
| [flux] | doesn't give me that 1 right at the end. | 05:54 |
| [flux] | And I can't 777 it. | 05:54 |
| _nedR | IPfreely, i think my file permissions are opposite.. the .ssh directory is rwx for user (so 700 i guess) and id_rsa is rw for user (so 600).. | 05:54 |
| IPfreely | did you try chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o=x | 05:55 |
| _nedR | actually this makes more sense... | 05:55 |
| [flux] | IPfreely: yes. | 05:55 |
| samir | hi everyone ,localhost is showing blank php pages | 05:55 |
| IPfreely | _nedR, yes I PMed you that after I hit enter on that | 05:55 |
| _nedR | oh sorry didn't see that | 05:55 |
| IPfreely | NP | 05:55 |
| IPfreely | glad you got it | 05:55 |
| lotuspsychje | _nedR: its a good thing to protect ssh properly, many abuse out there | 05:55 |
| _nedR | another question is this id_rsa file encrypted? | 05:56 |
| samir | anyone ? | 05:56 |
| _nedR | cause it looks like anyone using my pc can just copy it off | 05:56 |
| IPfreely | you can control who get ssh with the /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 05:56 |
| IPfreely | _nedR, install firestarter firewall and portsentry on the portsentry set attempt to 2 | 05:57 |
| IPfreely | it will block failed attempts and auto add them to your deny list | 05:57 |
| IPfreely | flux you try chmod 0771 | 05:58 |
| IPfreely | including the umask | 05:58 |
| _nedR | ok thanks for reply.. am doing what you suggested...but i think what you are talking about is ssh-agent (not sure)... my question is id_rsa (which stores the private key, i think) encrypted.. because otherwise it is a bit like a password file stored in plain text | 05:59 |
| IPfreely | _nedR, you can change your jey just generate a new one | 06:00 |
| IPfreely | also a good command to know is netstat -tapnl | 06:00 |
| IPfreely | if someone is using your system that will show it | 06:00 |

| blues_pdx | hey is there a different channel for noob questions? | 06:00 |
| IPfreely | your in Blue_ | 06:01 |
| blues_pdx | ha okay... | 06:01 |
| blues_pdx | when i've been getting programs that aren't available in Synaptic (e.g. google app engine), I've been extracting them to home dir. But I noticed that similar programs are usually placed in etc. Should I be extracting to etc? | 06:02 |
| IPfreely | no | 06:03 |
| IPfreely | lets get some clarification | 06:03 |
| IPfreely | extract and installation | 06:03 |
| IPfreely | when you extract are you talking about archives like gx tar zip z | 06:03 |
| IPfreely | or installations | 06:03 |
| IPfreely | like dpkg -i | 06:04 |
| IPfreely | or ./makeready make ./config | 06:04 |
| LenovoG470 | hi, what recourse do we have if the installation of Additional drivers for ATI bungled? | 06:04 |
| blues_pdx | well i guess all the ones i've put in so far haven't required an installation. i've just extracted them from zip and used the executables. (have to confess ignorance of the command line commands) | 06:06 |
| IPfreely | ok some programs will auto install to the correct place some will require a prefix like --prefix--/etc/ | 06:07 |
| IPfreely | etc is a general place for programs configs and some are in usr while bin and sbin are executables and deamons | 06:08 |
| blues_pdx | cool thx | 06:08 |
| [flux] | IPfreely: I got the issue. I had patched the binary wrongly. | 06:08 |
| [flux] | I have stop doing that. | 06:08 |

| buhman | is ubuntu's initramfs supposed to be able to handle root+/boot in mdraid+lvm? or am I required to do something special when I update-initramfs? | 06:16 |
| IPfreely | have you rebooted? | 06:17 |
| buhman | I've got grub working properly, but (grub I think) hangs on "Loading initial ramdisk.." | 06:17 |
| buhman | by "working properly" I mean that grub loads grub.cfg properly when grub.cfg is located in a lvm logical volume contained inside a mdraid array. | 06:17 |
| ZeroKewl | it try log in server with Konversation and it logs me off to the log in screen | 06:17 |
| buhman | the version of grub included in 12.04 appears to be a little buggy by the way, and it wasn't until I tried 2.00-beta4 and/or 2.00-release that I ended up making things work. | 06:18 |

| ZeroKewl | dr_willis just when i try useing Konversation | 06:18 |
| buhman | likely the same thing you do for a cryptsetup hook you'd do for a mdraid hook | 06:18 |

| nanobolic | does anyone know if there is a way to install java webplugin under wine? I have checked google and some of the forums but the information seems rather old. | 06:20 |
| nanobolic | java website says that I don't have java and I have installed jre under wine | 06:21 |
| buhman | in archlinux we have a fancy mkinitcpio script that comes with a few assorted general-purpose useful hooks that we can add/remove to the initramfs easily, just by modifying /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and adding/removing things as needed to the HOOKS= line. | 06:22 |

| myersg | It to the ajaxplorer | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | you spelt or pasted the url wrong perhaps.. | 06:39 |
| myersg | there is no ajaxplorer in my /var or my /var/www | 06:40 |
| dr_willis | or are they using creative nameing with 'ajaxplorer' or is there an e missing. | 06:40 |

| dr_willis | how did you install it? | 06:42 |
| myersg | http://ajaxplorer.info/download/ | 06:42 |
| myersg | I followed the debian/ubuntu instrucksions | 06:42 |
| dr_willis | perhaps they have some docs there on setting it up/enbleing it. | 06:42 |
| dr_willis | /etc/ stuff would be config files for it. not the web site files | 06:42 |
| myersg | thats it... but its not working for me | 06:43 |
| myersg | ya, there boot strap files in the /etc file | 06:43 |
| dr_willis | could be a config file has itg disabled also. untill you edit the config and enable it. | 06:44 |
| myersg | how can I do it this way? http://ajaxplorer.info/documentation/administration/4-step-install/ | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | myersg: do it that way? follow their directions. get the archive. put it in the right place under your www dirs | 06:48 |
| myersg | I downloaded it, and copied it to the /var/www file, but its giveing a problem type page | 06:48 |
| myersg | http://pastebin.com/mPY7qj36 | 06:49 |

| dr_willis | myersg: that url of instructions step #2. sas be sure the data dir is writeable..... | 06:51 |
| myersg | how do I make it writeable | 06:51 |
| dr_willis | !permissions | myersg | 06:52 |
| ubottu | myersg: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 06:52 |
| LenovoG470 | @dr_willis, can you give me the CLI commands to do so, if it breaks, -black screen | 06:52 |

| LenovoG470 | dr_willis, the CLI jockey-tool gave no response, but in the USC the drivers are there - post release and the other current [non-post release] | 07:10 |
| buhman | perhaps I should make myself more clear: 1) the ubuntu installer scripts are bloated, nonsensical, and useless braindead crap 2) as a result I've found it simpler to just use deboostrap to create my root filesystem 3) I have done this 4) the root filesystem and /boot partition are in separate logical volumes in the same vg which is contained in a single pv which happens to be a mdraid array. | 07:11 |
| LenovoG470 | dr_willis, I dun how to search for the fglrx drives in the CLI | 07:11 |
| dr_willis | apt-cache search fglrx | 07:11 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: Do I remove the normal 4.1.12 and install the 4.1.18 or is there an upgrade I should use? | 07:11 |
| dr_willis | Gyro54: may be safest to remove what you have. | 07:12 |
| nomad209 | buhman: maybe try the minimal or server iso? add what you need? | 07:12 |
| buhman | the biggest hurdle with this is making grub behave. I've got things mostly working, where grub clearly loads grub.cfg from /boot in mdraid (because I get to the boot menu where I can interactively edit grub.cfg if I so desire), but once grub loads the initramfs from /boot, nothing interesting happens | 07:12 |
| buhman | the kernel is never executed | 07:12 |
| buhman | nomad209: debootstrap is even more minimalist than using one of those silly installation images; I literally download *only* the packages I selected. | 07:13 |
| neodragon | is there another ubuntu channel that is for maybe, question about ubuntu that are not necessarily support questions? | 07:13 |
| buhman | (and debootstrap itself of course) | 07:13 |
| nomad209 | buhman: indeed | 07:14 |
| kiennd | anybody help me? I use ubuntu 10.04, yesterday I just use email, web, openoffice it work very good but this morning when start it have some problem: I cann't shutdown from menu but I can shutdown by command line (and some orther problems) | 07:14 |
| DJones | neodragon: If its general, you could ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:14 |
| dr_willis | !ot | 07:14 |
| ubottu | #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! | 07:14 |
| neodragon | Thanks DJones | 07:15 |
| buhman | so the question is: is ubuntu's update-initramfs script smart enough to automagically understand that it needs to assemble the raid array BEFORE it has any hope of getting to the root filesystem? and why is grub hanging on me at the point right before the kernel would be loaded/executed? | 07:15 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: Thanks | 07:15 |
| buhman | if I could get to the point where I get dropped to an emergency shell with nothing but the initramfs to help me, I could probably work through that. | 07:16 |
| buhman | well, rather, before the kernel actually *is* executed (supposedly it was already read from disk) | 07:16 |

| icewalker | i tried to install bumblebee but can seem to get it to work following instructions i found on google. any thoughts? where can i get a working installation instructions? | 07:30 |
| iceroot | icewalker: there is a bubmlebee ppa, just enable that ppa and install the bumblebee package after that restart x (or the complete system) | 07:31 |
| icewalker | so i end up restoring back to the default driver | 07:31 |
| icewalker | i did try that | 07:32 |
| bright | hello i have asus notebook and ubuntu 10.10 installed on it. and i can't make my touchpad to work can anyone help? | 07:32 |
| iceroot | bright: 10.10 is no longer supported | 07:32 |
| iceroot | !eol | bright | 07:32 |
| ubottu | bright: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 07:32 |
| bright | but i don't want this fancy looking new ubuntu i don't like it ( | 07:33 |
| compdoc | bright, you get used to it | 07:33 |
| iceroot | bright: and 10.10 is out of support | 07:33 |
| icewalker | like this instructions - http://pleph.appspot.com/init/posts/view/2687901 | 07:33 |
| jimmy_lo_chien_f | dr_willis, I have no idea when I set this password for keyring | 07:33 |
| dr_willis | gnome2 is basically dead. the fallback modes are there.. but those alsoo may get phased out in the next year or so | 07:33 |
| dr_willis | jimmy_lo_chien_f: i recall some file you can delete that resets the keyring totally. then when it asks you just hit enter and it warns and uses no password | 07:34 |
| Pupuser | bright: did u try Puppy Linux? | 07:35 |
| jimmy_lo_chien_f | dr_willis, I have searched by google, the file should be ~/.gnome2/login.keyring | 07:35 |
| dr_willis | !keyring | 07:35 |
| bright | Pupudrt nopr is it good | 07:35 |
| bright | ? | 07:35 |
| iceroot | bright: lubuntu is one way to have a system without fancy guis | 07:35 |
| iceroot | bright: the other is xubuntu | 07:35 |
| dr_willis | Puppy Linux is not Ubuntu :) its also a very very weird linux in many ways | 07:35 |
| compdoc | bright, boot the Live CD of whatever version of Ubuntu you do like, and see if it's fixed. I think 11.04 still used the old Gnome desktop | 07:35 |
| dr_willis | Lubuntu and xubuntu are nice. | 07:35 |
| iceroot | bright: you can just install a new desktop and dont have to reinstall the whole system | 07:36 |
| iceroot | but even unity is not worst at all, i am using it myself and i like it | 07:36 |
| dr_willis | i have my Unity set up nicely with lens andd quicklists and extras that i like. | 07:36 |
| iceroot | see, even dr_willis is using unity :) | 07:37 |
| dr_willis | the HUD and Lens are handy | 07:37 |
| bright | i know that archlinux is good one | 07:37 |

| gitesh | Hey, mates. Where do i learn ubuntu? I don't know, what is a shell? & what is a kernel ? | 07:38 |
| dr_willis | !manual | 07:38 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 07:38 |
| iceroot | gitesh: you dont need to know what a shell or kernel is to use ubuntu | 07:38 |
| hateball | gitesh: Learn by using it. :) | 07:39 |
| dr_willis | !shell | 07:39 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 07:39 |
| iceroot | gitesh: like hateball said, just use the system, you dont need any special knowledge | 07:39 |
| gitesh | yes, hateball. that's where i started. | 07:39 |
| iceroot | gitesh: but of course if you are insterested in such stuff we will help you | 07:40 |
| gitesh | ok, thanks. iceroot | 07:40 |
| hateball | gitesh: In my opinion, the best way to learn is to have an actual problem to solve. Not just reading about potential solutions for things that do not concern you. | 07:40 |
| * dr_willis reads about everything, so he knows where to go back to look when he has an actual problem | 07:41 | |
| dr_willis | 'task focus' vs 'tool focused' | 07:41 |
| gitesh | ok, hateball | 07:42 |
| gogli | dr_willis: i'm creating swap area on my LIVE USB pendrive (persistence) .I use gparted and make another parition ext2 for swap and name it as linux-swap and after that gksu gedit /etc/fstab and write its UUID there .after that to enable swap i use "sudo swapon --all OR " and get a error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1077723/ | 07:43 |
| dr_willis | gogli: a swap partition uses a filesysgtm of the type 'swap' not ext2/3/4 | 07:43 |
| dr_willis | then you format it with the mkswp (i think) command, or gparted can format it as swap. | 07:44 |
| gogli | gogli : then what file system should it be | 07:44 |
| d1gital__ | how do I set the resolution in use on my VTs? just pass a VGA mode from the bootloader? Is there a way to autodetect? | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | filesystem type IS 'swap' | 07:44 |
| * dr_willis looks at the factoid page | 07:45 | |
| dr_willis | !swap | 07:46 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 07:46 |

| dr_willis | the type is 'linux-swap' | 07:49 |
| gRAVIty_ | hmmm | 07:49 |
| dr_willis | im not on a linux box so cant run gpartd to see what it says | 07:49 |
| iceroot | Stava: maybe with "file foo.swf" | 07:50 |
| gRAVIty_ | iceroot: can you look at this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1077338/ ethernet does not work | 07:50 |
| iceroot | gogli: gparted is asking about the mountpoint e.g. / /home and so on and one entry is "swap" | 07:50 |
| compdoc | gRAVIty_, no ip address is being assigned. Too bad you have such a fast card, and such a slow lan | 07:51 |

| gogli | ? | 08:11 |
| gogli | dr_willis: what is the use of swap in term of hibernate ? | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | it saves the hibernated system to the swap partition | 08:12 |
| compdoc | gRAVIty_, I think if you modify 70-persistent-net.rules slightly, the system wont change it again untill you add another nic. And you could assign a static ip in 'interfaces'. Netowrk manager seems to be controlling the card at the moment | 08:12 |
| {g} | gogli: ok. because if you dont prefix your msgs with my name i will not notice. | 08:12 |
| compdoc | not that thats a bad thing | 08:13 |
| impaktor | Dayofswords: I'm helping a ubuntu user move his home to a separate partition, so I can't have him do this as root? I don't think he should be logged in as himself when he moves his home folder. | 08:13 |
| gogli | {g} : sorry ! | 08:13 |
| {g} | gogli: swap is not related to hibernation. | 08:13 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: I cannot use a static IP. It is a dynamic ip without a router | 08:13 |
| gRAVIty_ | it assigns an IP everytime it starts | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | impaktor: theres the recovery/rescue console. that can be used. or a live cd | 08:13 |
| gogli | {g} : is their any way to test my swap | 08:13 |
| Dayofswords | impaktor: you can still become root with sudo su | 08:13 |
| impaktor | dr_willis: I though suspend saved to swap, hibernate to harddrive. | 08:13 |
| compdoc | gRAVIty_, oh, the ISP assigns the IP? | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | gogli: if free shows swap used.. then its working | 08:14 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: yes | 08:14 |

| {g} | gogli: did you google "ubuntu live usb hibernate" i think there is a setting for this these days. | 08:14 |
| dr_willis | impaktor: swap is on the swap parittion on the hard drive. | 08:14 |
| impaktor | Dayofswords: Oh, that's excellent. | 08:14 |
| {g} | gogli: i think you can be pretty sure your swap works. but i have the feeling you misunderstand what swap is for. | 08:14 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: It is a wirless wired net. As in I have a tower on top of my house. Everytime I switch on my internet i have to wait for 60 seconds to get the IP assigned and then use my net | 08:14 |

| gogli | [g] : i read the ubuntu documentation , hibernate don't work for ubuntu 12.04 persistence usb | 08:15 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: no I dont think it is a modme. It is RJ-45 ODU connecter | 08:15 |
| compdoc | its a device | 08:15 |
| {g} | gogli: hmm.. then i dont know. depending on what you are using it for, you could also install ubuntu on your usb stick. i did that once before. | 08:16 |
| compdoc | gRAVIty_, you ever try turning the device off then on after switching OSes? | 08:16 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: no. i directly rebot for the other OS | 08:17 |

| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: I wont use the wireless at all. Is there a way to temporarily disable the wireless that the ethernet works smoothly? | 08:21 |
| blackmoon | dr_willis: i mean packages with locked version | 08:21 |
| {g} | gogli: so you have/want a live-test-version on your pen drive or an installed version? | 08:21 |

| d1gital | My console resolution looked fine with the nouveau drivers, but now that I'm running nvidia, the resolution's too low (except when running X). How can I configure the resolution used outside of X? | 08:34 |

| dr_willis | d1gital i tend to just turn framebuffers off totally. ;) not used them in ages | 08:38 |
| dr_willis | that factoid may be out of date also. You just dont see the FB used much these days | 08:38 |
| jimmy_lo_chien_f | dr_willis, you typed this : * dr_willis reads about everything, so he knows where to go back to look when he has an actual problem | 08:38 |
| dr_willis | jimmy_lo_chien_f: and im getting so old.. i have a hard time rembering. | 08:39 |
| compdoc | gRAVIty_, when the system doesnt work, its just not gaining an IP address? | 08:39 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: Yes when the net does not work it does not gain an IP address | 08:39 |
| gRAVIty_ | but windows gets Ip address when I reboot and change OS | 08:39 |
| compdoc | gRAVIty_, Im not sure how to force it. Maybe you should ask your ISP tech support and see if they have a solution | 08:40 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: they dont know linux :( | 08:40 |
| compdoc | yeah, thats not surprising | 08:41 |
| gRAVIty_ | LOL :) | 08:41 |
| gRAVIty_ | all they ask is if it is working in windows 7 | 08:41 |
| dr_willis | compdoc: wonder if he got a router.. it it would jusst alwyas be on with an ip.. so rebooting wouldent matter. | 08:41 |
| compdoc | gRAVIty_, open the network manager gui - thats how your system is set to use networking. Maybe a settig in there? | 08:42 |
| pozic | Why does Ubuntu always lag with packaging AMD graphics drivers? | 08:42 |
| compdoc | gRAVIty_, dr_willis has a good point | 08:42 |
| pozic | Packaging could be done automatically. | 08:42 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: i don thave a router | 08:42 |
| compdoc | they cost about $30 | 08:43 |
| dr_willis | pozic: because it ahs a 6 month release cycle. so even with a relase that just came out today.. its using stuff that was tested and setup from last month.. anything that comes out after release.. will wait till the next release | 08:43 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: hmm. i dont think it supports a router. if I try to get the DNS. it just gives a text output | 08:43 |
| dr_willis | pozic: theres some entry in the addational-drivers tool for post-release versions | 08:43 |
| ScheerI | Hello, Dear Community! I would like to make a private cloud with precise pangoline. I would like to use XEN as virtualization hypervisor. Can someone help, how can find knowledge base? Where can I find howto's? Thx | 08:44 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: THey are using this to make sure we dont connect more than on computer. Is there any command to find out if I can use a router? | 08:44 |
| pozic | dr_willis: but the shipped version of the AMD drivers are ... utter crap. | 08:44 |
| dr_willis | pozic: they were what they tested when the version was released... theres always the post-release version. or PPA's | 08:45 |
| pozic | dr_willis: can you tell me how to install the latest version via the command line? | 08:45 |
| compdoc | gRAVIty_, in the past, they used to read the MAC address of the network card before assigning an ip address. Most routers let you set the MAC address to the same as your nic | 08:45 |
| pozic | dr_willis: that is, 12.6 | 08:45 |
| aaas | how does one run the 'user accounts' app as root? | 08:45 |
| pozic | dr_willis: I have no use for GUI instructions... because there is no GUI. | 08:45 |
| dr_willis | pozic: no idea what teh package name is for the post-release version. | 08:45 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: So you think a router will solve the problem? | 08:46 |
| dr_willis | gRAVIty_: with a router.. the modem/isp will never see you reboot.. the router will get the ip and info and be always on. | 08:46 |
| ScheerI | anyone? pls | 08:46 |
| gaelfx | I've never had success installing the post-release updates version of fglrx, but iirc, they are still both the same version anyhow | 08:46 |
| compdoc | gRAVIty_, its the best way to go. Maybe you could buy a router at an office suply store and se if they will refund if i doesnt work for you | 08:47 |
| gRAVIty_ | dr_willis: That sounds cool. Only when I restart the router will teh address gets changed right? | 08:47 |
| dr_willis | gRAVIty_: yep. and my rrouter rarely restarts.. :) | 08:47 |
| gRAVIty_ | dr_willis and compdoc: Does that also mean that I can have more than one computer connected ot the router | 08:47 |
| compdoc | yes, if it works | 08:47 |
| dr_willis | gRAVIty_: i got like 10 devices going to my router | 08:47 |

| gRAVIty_ | dr_willis: Thanks. LOL. that would be cool :) I have an old DSL modlem cum router. idont think i can use that for this | 08:49 |
| dr_willis | i splurged and got a nice cisco router for my last one. It has some nice features. | 08:49 |
| compdoc | pozic, no one has mentioned a static ip for the router. they can switch ips as required | 08:49 |

| compdoc | google ppl using your ISP and the use of routers | 08:51 |
| compdoc | maybe you'll find suggestions | 08:51 |
| compdoc | in forums | 08:52 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: Thats what I did first. I am in India and this is a new ISP. 2Mbps here is a luxury :) | 08:52 |
| gaelfx | dr_willis: I believe I found the correct autostart folder, but there are actually several bluetooth related items in it, two of which are actually applets, one of the is just bluetooth applet, the other is bluetooth applet unity, do you think if I remove the non-unity one it should be ok? | 08:52 |
| compdoc | ahh | 08:52 |
| pozic | countley: you could try some of the Windows PDF clients. | 08:52 |

| compdoc | well, depends on which forums | 08:54 |
| gRAVIty_ | gaelfx: lol. Not so sure. China is better with hardware compared to Indi | 08:54 |

| gaelfx | gRAVIty_: maybe better at making it, but they haven't a clue about how to use most of it | 08:54 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: may be the best way to contact would be to come back to IRC i guess :) | 08:55 |
| gRAVIty_ | do u have a blog? | 08:55 |
| gaelfx | gRAVIty_: almost everyone I know still uses XP, makes me a sad panda | 08:55 |

| compdoc | this is early for me. Its 3am here. Couldnt sleep | 08:55 |
| gaelfx | does rm move the item in question to the trash, or does it actually delete it? | 08:55 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: LOL God :) | 08:55 |
| gRAVIty_ | compdoc: are you in a university? | 08:56 |
| gRAVIty_ | My linux problems used to solved in a jiffy when I was in my univ :( | 08:56 |

| compdoc | no. I have my own business servicing computers | 08:56 |
| chu | gaelfx: It deletes the file. | 08:56 |

| chu | gaelfx: Yeah, though I'm not entirely sure where trash is, maybe somewhere like ~/.trash/ but you should ask and see :) | 08:57 |
| gRAVIty_ | daptordarattler: not really. I got suggestions to try using a router. do u have any other ideas? | 08:57 |

| gRAVIty_ | daptordarattler: can we downgrade ubuntu? I kind of like everything else on 12.04 | 08:59 |

| daptordarattler | gRAVIty_: i dnt think so, havent tried it but the fun part is u can install 11.10 over ur available 12.04 without loosing ur config folders if u dont format and then u can install all the apps u need before doing the online distro upgrade | 09:01 |
| daptordarattler | gRAVIty_: works very well, tried it like 10 times, problems always fix on the old distro and dont come on the upgrade distro | 09:02 |
| === ecthiender_ is now known as ecthiender | ||
| gRAVIty_ | daptordarattler: hmm. so that means it does not need extra space right? | 09:02 |

| pozic | countley: note that you ever said which client you use now. | 09:03 |
| gRAVIty_ | daptordarattler: Cool. Thanks for the tip. I have nothing to loose that way then. Anyway 11.10 also has unity I guess? | 09:03 |
| daptordarattler | gRAVIty: when u get to the partition layout, jux uncheck the format option on the ext4 partition and it will override all system files except the user folder | 09:03 |
| daptordarattler | taher: when u boot the live cd u install grub from the terminal | 09:04 |

| daptordarattler | popokpou: firstly go to the graphics recovery screen and reset the graphics driver from the list or have u already tried taht | 09:17 |
| popokpou | so, daptor, remove "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf"? | 09:17 |
| ninjah | gigabyte has the F12 options so you can choose | 09:18 |
| popokpou | i can't enter any recovery screen as far as i'm aware | 09:18 |
| popokpou | the four options it gives me after the "your system is running in low graphics" are buggered, they won't run | 09:18 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou: not that one , the one in ur home folder should be /home/user/.lightdm | 09:18 |
| daptordarattler | oh ok | 09:18 |
| dr_willis | recoveey is a grub menu item entry | 09:18 |
| ninjah | then just run the command lineđ, xstart | 09:18 |
| popokpou | so go into grub? | 09:18 |
| daptordarattler | reboot to recovery from grub and reset your graphics driver | 09:19 |
| popokpou | ok, good idea, how do i get to grub from startup? | 09:19 |
| magpie | what about uninstalling-installing again the graphics driver? that help in a similar situation | 09:19 |
| ninjah | i think it's the TAB key, not sure | 09:19 |
| ninjah | you can add the driver after the install | 09:19 |
| dr_willis | shift if grub is hidden at boot | 09:19 |
| magpie | hold shift until it lets you pick recovery mode | 09:20 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou: lol, just keep tapping the down key or esc key when u restart before grub boots ur default | 09:20 |
| popokpou | ok got it thanks | 09:20 |
| popokpou | so boot into recovery mode... | 09:20 |
| ninjah | nah... boot command line and type startx or xstart? | 09:21 |
| popokpou | doh | 09:21 |
| ninjah | are you Homer j. Simpson? | 09:21 |
| popokpou | thats ok, from recovery i can drop into a shell prompt | 09:21 |
| * dr_willis missed the original issue | 09:21 | |
| daptordarattler | yes | 09:22 |
| popokpou | it says i cannot startx | 09:22 |
| magpie | bruce willis is a doctor? | 09:22 |
| ninjah | then press the any key | 09:22 |
| ninjah | xstart | 09:22 |
| ninjah | or sudo xstart | 09:22 |
| popokpou | the original issue is "System is running in low graphics mode" at startup | 09:22 |
| popokpou | sudo xstart does nothing | 09:22 |
| popokpou | startx doesn't work | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | whats your video card pop? | 09:22 |
| ninjah | TI | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | dont use sudo startx.... | 09:22 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou it should give u an option in the recovery list to reset xorg config | 09:23 |
| daptordarattler | do u see that | 09:23 |
| popokpou | si need to reboot to get back to those options, daptor, i went into the console | 09:23 |
| ninjah | YEAH XPRG ,IGHT BE THE ISSUE | 09:23 |
| ninjah | S0RRY | 09:23 |
| ninjah | caps | 09:23 |
| FloodBot1 | ninjah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:23 |
| ninjah | told i was sorry | 09:23 |
| magpie | ninjas dont apologise | 09:23 |
| daptordarattler | In my experience there is suppose to be an option for that in recovery options list popokpou | 09:24 |
| popokpou | grub is freezing up now *sigh* | 09:24 |
| magpie | you;re not a ninja | 09:24 |
| ninjah | i work for Jah | 09:24 |
| magpie | whos jah? | 09:25 |
| popokpou | i have no option to "reset xorg config" in recovery mode, but i can "run in failsafe graphic mode" | 09:25 |
| oCean | magpie, ninjah let's move back on topic (support) | 09:25 |
| res22 | Has anyone else been finding google chrome on ubuntu terrible since the last update? | 09:25 |
| ninjah | okay | 09:26 |
| magpie | use chromium | 09:26 |
| res22 | roughly a week ago | 09:26 |
| magpie | oCean ok | 09:26 |
| res22 | magpie: how is flash support for chromium? | 09:26 |
| popokpou | flash support great in chromium | 09:26 |
| popokpou | any other ideas for this low=-graphics problem? | 09:26 |
| popokpou | i'm thinking i'll have to reformat | 09:26 |
| dr_willis | !fixres | 09:26 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 09:26 |
| magpie | i read somewhere that adobe is bailing out on firefox so firefox will now use something similar, hence chromium is better in terms of flash etc etc | 09:26 |
| daptordarattler | run the low graphics mode and open your xorg config to check if its empty | 09:27 |
| popokpou | ok, i'll try | 09:27 |
| res22 | adobe has stopped developing flash for linux entirely, so chrome is the only stable version anymore | 09:27 |
| magpie | bailing out was wrong word | 09:27 |
| magpie | anyways | 09:27 |
| magpie | yeah, chrome-chromium much better, and faster | 09:27 |
| magpie | and responsive | 09:27 |
| popokpou | that is xorg config in /usr/lib/x11/xorg.conf.d/ | 09:28 |
| popokpou | correct? | 09:28 |
| dr_willis | /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:28 |
| res22 | ok I'll download it again, I uninstalled and replaced it with google chrome before but I can't remember why | 09:28 |
| popokpou | ok | 09:28 |
| magpie | res22 talking about chromium? | 09:28 |
| magpie | its open-source | 09:28 |
| res22 | yes | 09:28 |
| magpie | i reckon its better | 09:28 |
| res22 | ok | 09:28 |
| popokpou | it does not work when i try to load in low graphics mode | 09:28 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou: wrong | 09:29 |
| popokpou | all i have is console | 09:29 |
| ninjah | no they haven't stopped developing flash for linux - the US government uses a form of linux - of course there is flash | 09:29 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou: it should be something like /etc/x11/xorg.conf | 09:29 |
| ninjah | what you talking about | 09:29 |
| popokpou | i'm going back to cnosole and i'll check | 09:29 |
| ninjah | and chromium, although okay i do not recommend it, cuz it crashes | 09:30 |
| magpie | ninja adobe stopped supporting firefox | 09:30 |
| res22 | ya chromium seems to how come on a long way since I last installed it | 09:30 |
| magpie | at least the 13nth version | 09:30 |
| popokpou | i have xorg.conf.failsafe | 09:30 |
| popokpou | but no xorg.conf | 09:30 |
| daptordarattler | i have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe, so im guessing that should be it | 09:30 |
| magpie | popokpou is it nvidia or ati/ | 09:30 |
| popokpou | i don't know, i think nvidia, but i haven't installed any proprietary drivers | 09:31 |
| popokpou | last time i did that it buggered everything up | 09:31 |
| === bruce24 is now known as Guest52091 | ||
| popokpou | so what do you want me to do with this file? edit it with nano? | 09:31 |
| daptordarattler | check the contents | 09:31 |
| daptordarattler | is it empty or not | 09:31 |
| magpie | i just found a thread (solved) and these guys solved it by blacklisting some stuff, i am allowed to copy paste the link here? | 09:31 |
| dr_willis | use lspci to see what your video card is also. | 09:31 |
| daptordarattler | I have a situation where my file was empty once | 09:31 |
| ninjah | magpie, try the beta then and you'll see everything, except few glitches work perfect... you gotta tweak it yourself - that's why, WELL I think ubuntu like others is open sourse | 09:31 |
| ninjah | sourced... sorry--- | 09:32 |
| popokpou | my file is not empty | 09:32 |
| daptordarattler | cool, then delete the xorg.conf.failsafe | 09:32 |
| popokpou | it has quite a few lines, is there anything inparticular you're interested in ehre? | 09:32 |
| haris | how to change xfce to iceWM on Xubuntu 11.10? | 09:32 |

| popokpou | ok | 09:32 |
| magpie | ninjah i am using firefox | 09:32 |
| magpie | dont have any probs | 09:33 |
| ninjah | me too | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | icewm last i tried it - was rather dated.. and starting to lack in features | 09:33 |
| popokpou | file removed. rebooting... | 09:33 |
| haris | how to change xfce to iceWM on Xubuntu 11.10? | 09:33 |
| popokpou | (fingers crossed) | 09:33 |
| magpie | daptor and/or dr_willis maybe you should check the 8th answer in the link i provided, that guy solved popokous situation | 09:33 |
| daptordarattler | ok , the graphics recovery screen will come up | 09:33 |
| gaelfx | haris: I would refer you to dr_willis's answer | 09:33 |
| ninjah | considering graphics it had a bit of issues for ATI cards before, now WS cards are working and are used to full potential- i use firepro and havent had any issues | 09:34 |
| popokpou | didn't work | 09:34 |

| ninjah | for you card... popokpu | 09:35 |
| magpie | according to the link i provided that wont help him | 09:35 |
| magpie | if hes using nvidia | 09:35 |
| popokpou | i have no user-interface, i can only use console. also, installing proprietary drivers has buggered everything up ni the past. | 09:35 |
| popokpou | this is the first time this has happened, and it happened for no reason, i haven't changed anything to do with my graphics drivers or anything | 09:35 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 09:36 |
| dr_willis | if using nvidia | 09:36 |
| ninjah | why not try if he's in the booted installed syste? | 09:36 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: what gpu are you using? | 09:36 |
| daptordarattler | but from the thread it looks like a compiz issue | 09:36 |
| popokpou | gpu? gnome? | 09:36 |
| ninjah | GPU | 09:36 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou: try deleting .compiz and reboot | 09:36 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: graphics card | 09:36 |
| ninjah | graphic card yeah | 09:36 |

| dr_willis | wait.. does the Login screen look/work correctly? | 09:36 |
| popokpou | i'm hesitant to install proprietary drivers... | 09:36 |
| popokpou | let me first try this compiz thing ok? | 09:37 |
| magpie | dr_willis can you check the link? it seemed to have worked. I cant do it cause im a nob | 09:37 |
| popokpou | incidently, fyi, i'm only able to work from command line | 09:37 |
| daptordarattler | it should be soemthing like .compiz-1 | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | im on my cellphone. checking links. is hard for me. | 09:37 |
| magpie | daptor? | 09:37 |
| ninjah | nvidia never had problems - at least as i know - neither from debian to forks, not to mention arch. fedora ... | 09:37 |
| magpie | can you do it? | 09:37 |
| magpie | do you guys want me to type here the answer? | 09:37 |
| daptordarattler | magpie: be my guest | 09:37 |
| ninjah | a pie is a lie | 09:38 |
| ninjah | tyoe | 09:38 |
| ninjah | type | 09:38 |
| daptordarattler | magpie: I looked at the thread, | 09:38 |
| magpie | daptor-and ? | 09:38 |
| oCean | ninjah: stop the offtopic remarks. Last warning | 09:38 |
| popokpou | does anyone know where compiz lives? | 09:38 |
| === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 | ||
| dr_willis | settins are normally in the .config dir. or users home dir | 09:38 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: ok, when you are the command prompt, type "cd ~" | 09:38 |
| daptordarattler | magpie: wen u use proprietory drivers u get those errors but u can still run ur box without it, and u shouldnt get that error unless theres something else wrong somewhere | 09:39 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: then type "ls -A" and you should see a file named .compiz or something like it | 09:39 |
| magpie | daptor ok i was trying to help, it seemed to have helped that guy on the thread | 09:39 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou: sudo rm ~/.compiz-1 | 09:39 |
| popokpou | thanks, gaelfx. i have ".compiz-1" | 09:39 |
| ninjah | I am trying to help popkpou since everyone wants him to make commandlines that are not needed if he is in UBUNTU and can go to drivers, install GPU drivers by default ubuntu gives him | 09:39 |
| popokpou | you want me to delete this? | 09:39 |
| [flux] | Going to install 12.04 on my mac. Anything I should know preinst? | 09:39 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou: sudo rm -Rf ~/.compiz-1 | 09:39 |
| popokpou | ok.... | 09:39 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: so do "rm .compiz-1" | 09:39 |
| gaelfx | daptordarattler: sudo shouldn't be necessary in the user's home folder | 09:40 |
| magpie | [flux] try the live cd and if everything works (internet, wireless etc) then do it | 09:40 |
| daptordarattler | magpie yeah it did but he wanted the nvidia drivers popokpou doesnt | 09:40 |
| popokpou | ok done. rebooting... | 09:40 |
| popokpou | (fingers crossed) | 09:40 |
| daptordarattler | gaelfx true but shit happens | 09:40 |
| === bruce24 is now known as Guest62812 | ||
| oCean | daptordarattler: control your language here, please | 09:41 |
| ninjah | and the sudo-apt upgrade and sudo-apt update. i did this on 2 comps and it worked- one is my WS - this one with ATI, the other is Nvidia | 09:41 |
| oCean | ninjah: no, as he says he is currently on commandline, has no GUI. If you are not 100% confident you are offering a working solution, please let the others know. Posting offtopic comments as "the pie is a lie" is not wecome at all | 09:41 |
| gaelfx | I just think it's best to avoid sudoing unnecessarily, perhaps I'm paranoid | 09:41 |
| ninjah | i am sorry for the pie is a lie | 09:41 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou: compiz has about 3 different locations so not all might work oCean: my bad | 09:41 |
| ninjah | i was just kidding | 09:41 |
| popokpou | didn't work | 09:41 |
| popokpou | "the system is running in low graphics mode" | 09:41 |
| popokpou | "exit to console" (yes) | 09:42 |
| [flux] | magpie: Everything works, except the animations on the desktop | 09:42 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: ok, can you tell me what graphics card you're using? | 09:42 |
| magpie | daptor i found another one, it said that when the message low graphics show up hit ctrl+alt+f1 then login with your credentials and then run the following command sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and then sudo reboot | 09:42 |
| dr_willis | popokpou: so the Login screen is working? but it messages that once your user logs in?? | 09:42 |
| popokpou | i'm not sure, gaelfx | 09:42 |
| popokpou | the login screen doesn't work | 09:42 |
| magpie | [flux] what kind of animations? | 09:42 |
| dr_willis | then it cant be a user setting issue.... | 09:42 |
| popokpou | i haven't changed anything, i don't understand this | 09:42 |
| [flux] | the window close/open, desktop switch, etc. | 09:42 |
| [flux] | But I could care less | 09:42 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou: try the other 2 locations .cache/compiz-1 and .config/compizsettings I think | 09:43 |
| Wavelight | hello | 09:43 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: ok, can you pastebin the output of "lspci | grep -i vga"? | 09:43 |
| popokpou | i get the "the system is running in low graphic smode" prior to the login screen | 09:43 |
| [flux] | err | 09:43 |
| daptordarattler | magpie ubuntu-desktop is already installed | 09:43 |
| [flux] | I couldn't | 09:43 |
| magpie | [flux] i dont use ubuntu but maybe you can fix it easily once you have the whole deal | 09:43 |
| ninjah | popokpou, try this if you can get online: sudo-apt upgrade and sudo-apt update, then reboot, see what'll happen cuz i don't get how he can have copmpiz installed if he's not in GUI yet | 09:43 |
| popokpou | ok, aptor | 09:43 |
| magpie | ok sorry again | 09:43 |
| popokpou | i'll try ninjah's idea first. | 09:43 |
| [flux] | magpie: yeah, guess I'll find out, thanks. | 09:43 |
| gaelfx | ninjah: it's sudo apt-get upgrade, not sudo-apt | 09:43 |
| ninjah | yeah soorry | 09:44 |
| daptordarattler | ninjah: he had it running before and then it crushed so definately compiz was in there | 09:44 |
| Wavelight | please give me your advice, I-am not using linux and I don-t understand the line comand, for a router it-s better for me to install and use PFSENSE or Ubuntu ? | 09:44 |
| ninjah | sudo apt-get update | 09:44 |
| popokpou | thats cool, i'm familiar with the command | 09:44 |
| ninjah | and the same with upgrae | 09:44 |
| daptordarattler | ninjah: and remember he had the compiz config files there tooo | 09:44 |
| popokpou | nothing new installed, nothing removed, nothing upgraded. | 09:44 |
| ninjah | upgrade, sincerely apologies | 09:44 |
| popokpou | so i'll try the other compiz settings... | 09:44 |
| magpie | what about sudo apt-get -f install ? | 09:44 |
| Wavelight | I understand that after installing Ubuntu server I need to make a lot of comand to secure the distribution, etc | 09:45 |
| magpie | maybe something broke down the road | 09:45 |
| popokpou | magpie, again, nothing installed, nothing changed | 09:45 |
| dr_willis | Wavelight: cant say ive ever heard that was needed. | 09:45 |
| popokpou | i am now removing "compizconfig-1" from .cache | 09:45 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: as daptordarattler noted, there are also files for compiz in other folders, so you probably need to remove them as well | 09:45 |
| ninjah | or do a reinstall full | 09:46 |
| popokpou | thats done. i am now removing .config/compiz-1 | 09:46 |
| popokpou | thats done. rebooting... | 09:46 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: do "cd ~/.cache" then "ls -A" and remove the folder with compiz in the name using the command from before, and then "cd ~/.config", "ls -A" and the same | 09:46 |
| magpie | what about this command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ??? | 09:47 |
| ninjah | seems you added the tricks and shananigans before installing a gpu that can handle it | 09:47 |
| popokpou | too late, gaelfx, rebooting arleady | 09:47 |
| daptordarattler | hmmm magpie: that could work too | 09:47 |
| oCean | ninjah: again, if you have no idea how to actually help the other, please stop posting suggestions such as full reinstall | 09:47 |
| dr_willis | i still dont see how the USErS .compiz config files will be breaking Lightdm | 09:47 |
| popokpou | that has already been removed actually, gaelf | 09:47 |
| daptordarattler | it resets the graphics configuration | 09:47 |
| Vib3 | hi | 09:47 |
| magpie | popokpou try this command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 09:47 |

| popokpou | magpie, one moment please | 09:47 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: haha, sorry | 09:47 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou: WHAT u mean u removed the xserver-xorg | 09:47 |
| magpie | should revert the gui to original state | 09:48 |
| popokpou | didn't work. | 09:48 |
| dr_willis | haris: what package? | 09:48 |
| popokpou | ok, so magpie, i should "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"? | 09:48 |

| dr_willis | should say its all up to date | 09:52 |
| popokpou | the result of lspci grep etc | 09:53 |
| popokpou | "VGA compatible controller: advanced micro devices (AMD) nee ATI mobility radeon HD 4830 (M97) | 09:53 |
| popokpou | now issuing command "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop", yes? | 09:54 |
| dr_willis | so you have an ATI video card. not an Nvidia | 09:54 |
| popokpou | that appears to be the case, dr_willis. | 09:54 |
| magpie | popokpou hit it | 09:54 |
| gaelfx | that certainly goes a long way towards explaining the issue :P | 09:54 |
| popokpou | installing... | 09:54 |
| popokpou | it does? | 09:54 |
| popokpou | thats done. reboot? | 09:55 |
| dr_willis | no need to reboot | 09:55 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: sorry, that was kind of a joke | 09:55 |
| dr_willis | did it accvtually install anything? | 09:55 |
| popokpou | it installed 1 new pacakge | 09:55 |
| dr_willis | which was? | 09:55 |
| popokpou | "ubunt-desktop" | 09:55 |
| magpie | i have the opposite problem, if i keep default graphics drivers then when watching a movie the player freezes,every player freezers, when i tweak the sound i get the classic windows-freeze, once i installed the proprietary i was ok | 09:55 |
| Jonne | is there anything that can open mdb files except mdbtools? It's failing to export the data | 09:55 |
| popokpou | so, now what? "startx"? | 09:56 |
| magpie | popokpou reboot | 09:56 |
| Jonne | i can see everything fine, but the export button won't allow me to pick a file | 09:56 |
| popokpou | rebooting... | 09:56 |
| popokpou | (fingers crossed) | 09:56 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: which proprietary driver did you install and how did you install it? | 09:56 |
| dr_willis | id say check output of 'startx' to see if any errors are shown. then try 'jockey-text' to see what drivers it suggests | 09:56 |
| popokpou | currently, i have no installed any proprietary drivers. however, when i did install a proprietary in the past, it was one that prompted me to install it... which inveribly buggered hte system (this was ages ago.. maybe a year) | 09:57 |
| magpie | dr_willis can i try jockey-text to see any drivers my system needs? | 09:57 |
| dr_willis | magpie: try it and see | 09:57 |
| magpie | popokpou what happened? | 09:57 |
| popokpou | problem still exists. | 09:57 |
| magpie | dr_willis it searched but nothing came up | 09:58 |
| popokpou | same thing. "the system is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected. you will need to cinfigure these yourself." then it gives four options, of cwhich the only one that works is "exis to console" | 09:58 |
| dr_willis | popokpou: try 'startx' and see if any errors show up | 09:58 |
| zhoumao | 1 | 09:58 |
| popokpou | startx... seems to be donig something | 09:58 |
| zhoumao | 有人吗 | 09:58 |
| popokpou | the screen is all black | 09:58 |
| LjL | !cn | zhoumao | 09:59 |
| ubottu | zhoumao: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw | 09:59 |
| popokpou | and it appears to be frozen | 09:59 |
| gaelfx | !zh | zhoumao | 09:59 |
| gaelfx | oops | 09:59 |
| dr_willis | unity takes some time to load.. | 09:59 |
| Bendude | hello | 09:59 |
| popokpou | yep. "startx" from console makes the screen black and nothings happening | 09:59 |
| zhoumao | 英文不懂 | 09:59 |
| zhoumao | hello | 09:59 |
| magpie | ok popokpou i have one final solution probably | 09:59 |
| popokpou | ok, i'll give it a minute. in the meantime, i'm going to get a glass of wine.. this looksl ike it might take a while :-(( | 09:59 |
| zhoumao | ???? | 09:59 |
| dr_willis | popokpou: now use alt-ctrl-f1 to get to the console you ran startx from andf look for errors. if nothing happens after a few min. | 09:59 |
| gaelfx | zhoumao 你应该打 /join #ubuntu-cn | 09:59 |
| Aritz | anyone know about DROPWATCH tool in ubuntu? | 10:00 |
| gaelfx | ] | 10:00 |
| magpie | popokpou try this its my last resort sudo apt-get install fglrx and then reboot | 10:00 |
| popokpou | ok... yes, dr_willis... the errors are as follows | 10:00 |
| zhoumao | no English | 10:00 |
| dr_willis | !info dropwatch | 10:00 |
| ubottu | Package dropwatch does not exist in precise | 10:00 |
| zhoumao | 指令吗 | 10:00 |
| popokpou | "invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key.." | 10:00 |
| popokpou | on and on down the screen | 10:00 |
| popokpou | i can't control-c out of this, so i'm going to have to reboot | 10:00 |
| gaelfx | zhoumao 我已经告诉你打 /join #ubuntu-cn | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | odd you cant ctrl-c out. i do that all the time. | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | or go to the other console. | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | and killall X | 10:01 |
| magpie | popokpou sudo apt-get install fglrx then reboot | 10:01 |
| popokpou | so last resort imma try magpie's suggestion, then i'm going to reformat | 10:01 |
| Bendude | sorry to hop in with a random question but has anyone got experience installing 12.04 on a T91MT? | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | or its your .Xauthority file causing issues. | 10:01 |
| popokpou | i have to make sure i don't lose any of my files | 10:01 |
| popokpou | it will be devastating | 10:01 |
| popokpou | no backups, as i recently install this ubuntu os | 10:02 |
| patrickd | Hello. Can I ask a GNU tools question? I'd like to create a tarball from a directory foo. I'd like to exclude the directory foo/bar, so I tried '--exclude bar', but that also excludes foo/baz/bar or whatever. What should I do? Thanks. | 10:02 |
| dape-work | hello, if a ubuntu infrastructure admin is online, can he or she please PM me ? thanks! | 10:02 |

| dape-work | LjL: one that sysadmins ubuntu repository servers | 10:02 |
| LjL | dape-work: hmm, there is the channel #ubuntu-mirrors, but i'm not sure it's the most appropriate place. | 10:03 |

| popokpou | getting a few errors with this install... | 10:05 |
| popokpou | quite a few errors while processing | 10:05 |
| popokpou | "failed to write" etc etc etc etc | 10:05 |
| popokpou | but it's done now, so i'll see if it worked | 10:05 |
| popokpou | rebooting | 10:05 |
| dr_willis | popokpou: erorrs while installing fglrx? | 10:05 |
| magpie | popokpou do the classic command sudo apt-get -f install | 10:05 |
| popokpou | yes, errors while isntalling gflrx | 10:05 |
| zhoumao | 我打了那个指令 是不是就进入了CN频道 | 10:05 |
| dr_willis | popokpou: that may be the core of the whole problem then | 10:05 |
| magpie | zhoumao english | 10:05 |
| Bendude | i just installed 12.04 on a T91MT and i startup to a consol, anyone willing to help me out pm me. thanks in advance | 10:05 |
| Aritz | are there any similar cmd like dropwatch in ubuntu? | 10:05 |
| popokpou | so you want me to type "sudo apt-get -f install" | 10:05 |
| gaelfx | zhoumao: 这儿只会用英语，要用中文的话，应该打 /join #ubuntu-cn | 10:06 |
| magpie | yes | 10:06 |
| popokpou | ok | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | Bendude: and whats your video chipset? | 10:06 |
| popokpou | still getting all those errors again | 10:06 |
| popokpou | filling up teh whole screen, too fast for me to see what it says | 10:06 |
| magpie | popokpou if it doesnt work then guess is clean install all over | 10:06 |
| Aritz | !info dropwatch | 10:06 |
| ubottu | Package dropwatch does not exist in precise | 10:06 |
| Bendude | GMA 500 | 10:06 |
| popokpou | i think its a clean install over, didn't work | 10:06 |
| popokpou | so i need to backup my files, this is very important i don't lose anything | 10:06 |
| popokpou | one moment while i get some usb mediadrives | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | popokpou: what sort of errors? | 10:06 |
| popokpou | you guys can help me out here | 10:07 |
| zhoumao | Hello,everyone | 10:07 |
| popokpou | the errors are "cp: writing to '/tmp/mkinitramfs_etcetc/modprobe/etcetcetc" no space left on device | 10:07 |
| gaelfx | I'm sure I've asked this before, but I can't understand why they don't make /home a separate partition on default installs | 10:07 |
| popokpou | (however, i have HEAPS of space) | 10:07 |
| gogli | i want to run apt-get clean after every 15 minutes in background , how can i do this | 10:07 |
| gaelfx | !cn > zhoumao | 10:07 |
| ubottu | zhoumao, please see my private message | 10:07 |
| popokpou | if i lose my files i'll be losing hundreds of dollars worth of bitcoins so i hope this goes ok | 10:08 |
| Bendude | pm dr_willis GMA 500 | 10:08 |
| dr_willis | no space left on drive = your hd is full. | 10:08 |
| iceroot | gaelfx: because its confusing users how to set the size of / and /home | 10:08 |
| popokpou | my drive is no-where near full | 10:08 |
| magpie | dr_willis i saw a thread that talked about no-space-on-device | 10:08 |
| magpie | let me check | 10:08 |
| popokpou | its a fresh install from maby ea month ago | 10:08 |
| popokpou | i have 700 gig or something | 10:08 |
| dr_willis | popokpou something is full. or the filssytem is messed up | 10:08 |
| gaelfx | iceroot: right, which is why the default install should do that for them, no? | 10:08 |
| dr_willis | popokpou: whats the outoput of 'df -h' say | 10:08 |
| zhoumao | You say I can not read | 10:08 |
| popokpou | df-h gives me... ummmm... | 10:09 |
| popokpou | well, its interesting, it says "454 or 461G used" why would this be???? | 10:09 |
| popokpou | i left the computer on last night over night... ? | 10:09 |
| magpie | dr_willis the system is messed up theres nothing wrong with his hdd | 10:09 |
| daptordarattler | lol | 10:09 |
| daptordarattler | thats large | 10:09 |
| dr_willis | the dpkg system just said couldent write.. disk full. | 10:09 |
| zhoumao | You say I have not read this sentence is Google Translate | 10:10 |
| popokpou | i have nowhere near that amount of stuff on here | 10:10 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou are u doing a new install? | 10:10 |
| popokpou | i think i have to do a new install | 10:10 |
| popokpou | i'm going to delete some stuff of my USB stick so i can back up my files | 10:10 |
| popokpou | then hopefully you guys can give me a hand to make sure i get all my files? | 10:10 |
| gaelfx | zhoumao: 你应该到 #ubuntu-cn | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | or figure out whats taking up all the spaafe and try to fix it. | 10:10 |
| popokpou | i have no idea whats taking up all that space, its weird | 10:10 |
| magpie | dr_willis i know, i found a couple of threads with the same problem, it wasnt full, it was messed up somehow | 10:10 |
| popokpou | some temp file or something? | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | but bakups are aleways a good idea | 10:11 |
| popokpou | let me clear off my usb stick first.. | 10:11 |
| popokpou | is there a nice easy way to backup all my files or is it just copy=-paste? | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | after making backups. try fscking the filesystems. if you want to attempt to repair | 10:11 |
| popokpou | i mostly want to make sure i get my virtualbox disk images, thats the most important thign to me | 10:11 |
| MonkeyDust | popokpou use rsync | 10:11 |
| popokpou | rsync, ok | 10:11 |
| popokpou | is that easy enough to use? | 10:12 |
| popokpou | the thing is thouhg, will it back up everything? because it appears i have a whole bunch of random stuff filling up my drive | 10:12 |
| magpie | whats your capacity? | 10:12 |
| magpie | 300gb? | 10:12 |
| popokpou | it appears to be about 500G | 10:13 |
| magpie | i reckon its not real | 10:13 |
| magpie | the things you have in the disk | 10:13 |
| popokpou | its odd | 10:13 |
| popokpou | thats for sure | 10:13 |
| magpie | quite so | 10:13 |
| popokpou | i dno't have anything on there except for a few videos and some virtualbox drives | 10:13 |
| compdoc | both have large files | 10:14 |
| gogli | i want to run "apt-get clean "after every 15 minutes .how can i do this ? | 10:14 |
| compdoc | gogli, its a bad idea, but you can create a cron job | 10:14 |
| popokpou | true, but nowhee near 500G | 10:14 |
| gogli | !cron | 10:14 |
| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto | 10:14 |
| popokpou | anyway, my usb is full so i'm dumping it onto this windows machine to free it up so i can backup my data, this is going to take a while, so i'll just chill in here | 10:15 |
| magpie | popokpou and dr-wills i found a solution that concerns the xorg file | 10:15 |
| magpie | was there something wrong with the xorg file? | 10:15 |
| popokpou | go ahead, magpie | 10:15 |
| popokpou | i can't recall, i think teh xorg.conf.failsafe was normal | 10:16 |
| popokpou | where does it live again? | 10:16 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 10:16 |
| popokpou | see-ya | 10:16 |
| magpie | i will type here the answers i found and maybe daptor can verify them as an option? | 10:17 |
| magpie | daptor is that ok by you? | 10:17 |
| popokpou | this usb is going to take TWO HOURS to copy stuff over *sigh* | 10:17 |
| popokpou | sounds great, magpie | 10:17 |
| gaelfx | gogli: why on earth would you want to run that command every 15 minutes? | 10:17 |
| [flux] | Shit. | 10:17 |
| [flux] | Ubuntu installed in 15 minutes. | 10:17 |
| [flux] | in your face, windows. | 10:17 |
| FloodBot1 | [flux]: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:17 |
| [flux] | .-. | 10:17 |
| gaelfx | [flux]: you think that's good? try it with USB3.0 :D | 10:17 |
| magpie | sudo apt-get remove - - purge xserver-xorg sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 10:18 |
| [flux] | gaelfx: Haha, I will. | 10:18 |
| magpie | i found these 3 steps | 10:18 |
| [flux] | This was using a CD ;P | 10:18 |
| magpie | can someone verify them as plausible? | 10:18 |
| popokpou | ok... i seem to remember doing something similar to that before, but i'll try again after they get verified | 10:18 |
| gaelfx | [flux]: it only took me 2 minutes to make the LiveUSb using startup disk creator the other day :D | 10:18 |
| [flux] | :D | 10:18 |
| elspuddy | is they any seay way of transfering my user files from one ubuntu box to another ? | 10:19 |
| magpie | popokpou where is daptor? | 10:19 |
| popokpou | daptor, are you there? | 10:19 |
| gogli | gaelfx : just to free some memory : ) | 10:19 |
| popokpou | it just occured to me, i might use a live cd to transfer my files to my usb when its ready | 10:20 |
| popokpou | rather than command line... | 10:20 |
| popokpou | that way i can be 100% sure they've copied over | 10:20 |
| gogli | gaelfx: i know its not a good idea because it create a lock on apt but i want to | 10:20 |
| magpie | popokpou sounds good | 10:20 |
| MonkeyDust | elspuddy copy them to a free usb drive/pendrive and from there to other pc | 10:20 |
| {Aquamarine} | καλημερα..:) | 10:21 |

| ubottu | {Aquamarine}: #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes | 10:21 |
| gaelfx | gogli: if you're talking about keeping RAM open, that's not gonna do anything but take up more RAM every 15 minutes | 10:21 |
| magpie | popokpou write down the three steps i said and run them after these commands 1) sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current 2) sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 10:21 |
| magpie | καλημερα φιλαρκαο | 10:22 |
| {Aquamarine} | ευχαριστω..:) | 10:22 |
| popokpou | ok magpie | 10:22 |
| zhoumao | I would like to ask how to go to Japan channel | 10:22 |
| MonkeyDust | !jp | 10:22 |
| ubottu | 日本語の場合は /join #ubuntu-jp または /join #kubuntu-jp を入力して下さい。 | 10:22 |
| magpie | popokpou then reboot, if nothing happens then proceed to the other 3 steps i mentioned | 10:22 |
| popokpou | i get all those "failed to write" messages (beacuse of the full HD) | 10:22 |
| magpie | its a b**** i know | 10:23 |
| gogli | gaelfx: i know , it will take attention of the CPU but i want to understand all this stuff .I'm a learner not a expert . : ) Just chill bro , i want to try every thing | 10:23 |
| zhoumao | thank | 10:23 |
| popokpou | is there some way i can purge temp files or soemthing to fre eup space? | 10:23 |
| magpie | if nothing works then do the live cd-usb file transfering and start a clean install, try xubuntu 12.04 | 10:23 |
| magpie | never had a prob | 10:23 |
| popokpou | i think i'll just fresh install, as annoying as that is | 10:23 |
| gaelfx | ooooh, he wanted japanese...weird | 10:23 |
| popokpou | just so long as i don't lose my files then i'm satisfied | 10:24 |
| magpie | popokpou the temp file cleans itself automatically when you reboot | 10:24 |
| magpie | thats why i said its a messed up problem it isnt real capacity problem | 10:24 |
| gaelfx | gogli: apt-get clean just clears the downloaded package files from apt-get, which will save some disk space (not memory), so you really only need to run it maybe once a month, unless you are doing some crazy pacakge installing | 10:24 |
| elspuddy | MonkeyDust, and this will take all my setting for xchat ect ? | 10:25 |
| popokpou | my concern is mostly for virtuabox, i'm worried that i might miss some important files when i back it up and i'll lose my OS's | 10:25 |
| popokpou | i have two virtualbox folders i can see, one is ".VirtualBox" and the other is "Virtualbox VMs", is that all i need to backup do you think? | 10:25 |
| gogli | i want to start an application after 15 minute after startup .How can i do this ? | 10:25 |
| magpie | i dont use virtualbox so i cant help you out mate | 10:26 |
| popokpou | this is scary | 10:26 |
| denysonique | Hi | 10:26 |
| popokpou | i have a bigass bitcoin wallet on a virtual machine | 10:26 |
| denysonique | How can I make 12.04 handle apt:// urls with GDebi instead of Software Center? | 10:26 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: I personally would backup all of /home | 10:26 |
| popokpou | gaelfx, good idea methinks | 10:27 |
| MonkeyDust | elspuddy yes, xchat settings are stored in some hidden .config file | 10:27 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: also, on your next install, I would suggest making a separate /home partition so you don't need to worry about stuff like that so much in the future | 10:27 |
| popokpou | oh... ok? | 10:27 |
| bright | hello i have nvidia geforce gt 520mx graphic card and just installed driver. after that it changed my xorg.conf and couldnt login in my ubuntu and i removed xorg.conf. so problem is what i can't see changes after installing grafic card driver | 10:27 |
| magpie | gaelfx a manual install ? | 10:27 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: hang on, I'll try to see if I can find a good guide about that | 10:27 |
| popokpou | i think i have a swap and a harddrive partition.. so i should make a separate "home" partition too | 10:27 |
| popokpou | i went with default | 10:27 |
| gaelfx | magpie: well, yeah, all the cool kids are doing it :P | 10:27 |

| magpie | im soooooo new to linux i couldnt figure out the manual partitioning | 10:28 |
| kanupatar | hi guys | 10:28 |
| popokpou | i'm fairly new too | 10:28 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: yeah, it's actually not too difficult | 10:28 |
| kanupatar | how can i set up root password in ubuntu 12.04? | 10:28 |
| gaelfx | magpie: I can learnify you alittle about it, if you're interested | 10:28 |
| popokpou | i've been using it for a c ouple of years but i've never really got under the hood | 10:28 |
| magpie | Bright try installing xorg again | 10:28 |

| bright | magpie how i can install xorg | 10:29 |
| bright | again | 10:29 |
| gogli | !xorg | 10:29 |
| ubottu | The X Window system is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart X, type 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm' on an ubuntu system. replace with kdm on Kubuntu. To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution . Also see !xorgconf | 10:29 |
| kanupatar | passwd root is not working | 10:30 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: basically, when you're partitioning, just remember to give a decent size for '/', but you probably want to dedicate most of the drive to '/home' and about double your RAM to 'swap' | 10:30 |
| kanupatar | :( | 10:30 |
| kanupatar | please help me | 10:30 |

| ubottu | kanupatar: 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 | 10:30 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: ubuntu is built on the sudo model | 10:30 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: you should not be setting the root password | 10:30 |
| popokpou | ok, gaelf | 10:30 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: '/' should need more than 20gb, but 40gb is not a bad idea if you have the space | 10:30 |
| magpie | what he said BRIGHT or you could sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg and then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 10:30 |
| gaelfx | *shouldn't need more than 20gb | 10:31 |
| kanupatar | ikonia: how can i login as root in command line? | 10:31 |
| popokpou | so 40G to home and double RAM to swap | 10:31 |

| [flux] | gaelfx: ^ | 10:31 |
| [flux] | :D | 10:31 |
| zhoumao | How to display the shortcut on the desktop? | 10:31 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: you don't need to login as root at the command line | 10:31 |
| magpie | kanupatar su - and then type your password | 10:31 |
| iceroot | gaelfx: and what is a good default for / and /home? | 10:31 |
| LjL | magpie: that won't work. | 10:31 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: you login as an unprivileged user and then use sudo to execute root commands | 10:31 |
| iceroot | gaelfx: as you see there is no good default and you are always wasting space | 10:31 |
| ikonia | !sudo | kanupatar | 10:31 |
| ubottu | kanupatar: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 10:31 |
| magpie | Ljl what wont work? | 10:31 |
| LjL | magpie: what you just said, "su -" to login as root. the root account is locked, so that isn't going to work. you need sudo. | 10:32 |
| kanupatar | magpie: auth failure | 10:32 |
| kanupatar | magpie: it is not taking my password | 10:32 |
| kanupatar | su - | 10:32 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: it won't | 10:32 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: please stop trying to "su" or login as root | 10:32 |
| magpie | oh yeah | 10:32 |
| magpie | :) | 10:32 |
| kanupatar | ikonia: ok | 10:32 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: read the links ubottu gave you | 10:32 |
| LjL | kanupatar: if you need to execute several commands in a row as root for some reason, you can run "sudo -i". remember to "exit" when you're done. | 10:32 |
| magpie | kanupatar | 10:32 |
| bright | thanks magpie | 10:32 |
| magpie | i forgot the sudo | 10:32 |
| magpie | sudo su - | 10:32 |
| magpie | then password | 10:32 |
| FloodBot1 | magpie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:32 |
| kanupatar | so all users have sudo access? | 10:32 |
| ikonia | magpie: no | 10:32 |
| ikonia | please don't execute that | 10:33 |
| derpderpwut | Hi. Wanted to install ubuntu on an ASUS laptop as I have up until now only ran it in virtual environments - however the ASUS laptop refuses to boot from the dvd. Any tips? :) | 10:33 |
| LjL | kanupatar: no, only those in the "admin" or "sudo" group (depending on Ubuntu version) | 10:33 |
| magpie | Bright is it fixed? | 10:33 |
| compdoc | kanupatar, no | 10:33 |
| joelperez | guys | 10:33 |
| gaelfx | iceroot: yeah, but I don't think hard drive space is an issue for most people nowadays, wasting a few GB to keep a separate /home and stop people from losing their data when they bonk something up, seems like a good compromise to me | 10:33 |
| joelperez | first time ubuntu user | 10:33 |
| magpie | what happened? | 10:33 |
| kanupatar | magpie: worked! | 10:33 |
| kanupatar | roo@ | 10:33 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: do not do what magpie has advised you | 10:33 |
| joelperez | i installed an unsupported video driver | 10:33 |
| pranavk | i want to downgrade some pacakges on my ubuntu to older versions, i tried to install old ones but the prompt says that it has no installation candidate , how do i downgrade my packages with dependencies ? | 10:33 |
| kanupatar | ikonia: fight? | 10:34 |
| joelperez | messed up my pc | 10:34 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: is there a reason you are ignoring what is being told to you and just following what magpie is telling you despite him giving you incorrect information | 10:34 |
| joelperez | how do i roll back? | 10:34 |
| magpie | Kanupatar dont DO IT | 10:34 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: look at what LjL gave you | 10:34 |
| magpie | ont | 10:34 |
| magpie | dont | 10:34 |
| popokpou | that happened to me once, joelperez. in the end i had to reformat my computer | 10:34 |
| kanupatar | please | 10:34 |
| MrYair | whats up? :) | 10:34 |
| kanupatar | i am a newbie | 10:34 |
| gogli | echo "user_name ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD=ALL " > /etc/sudoers ...is this right to troll ? | 10:34 |
| joelperez | i can get to the update menu | 10:34 |
| joelperez | ... | 10:34 |
| bright | magpie so i reconfigured it but nothing changed | 10:35 |
| LjL | kanupatar: "sudo -i" will do what you want, without needing baroque combinations of "sudo" and "su". most of the time you don't need it, though. | 10:35 |
| magpie | to everyone im really sorry i thought that was the way to enter root | 10:35 |
| joelperez | is there a way to roll back on an unsupported driver? | 10:35 |
| magpie | Ljl is what i said the way to enter root? | 10:35 |
| iceroot | magpie: sudo command is the way | 10:35 |
| iceroot | magpie: there is no need for a root-shell | 10:35 |
| LjL | magpie: it works, but it's an awkward way. "sudo -i" and "sudo -s" are there for that. | 10:36 |
| magpie | i thought that was the only way, im really sorry people | 10:36 |
| kaffe | I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a asus laptop, the install was successfull, and before installing i booted it live just to see if it worked, and it dit. After the install i couldnt boot up the system, when starting it the screen is just.. black.. Does anyone know why? and how to fix it? | 10:36 |
| LjL | magpie: no problem | 10:36 |
| kanupatar | so the installation user will have the root access | 10:37 |
| magpie | Ljl whats the difference? i tried them all and they all give me root privileges | 10:37 |
| pranavk | i want to downgrade some pacakges on my ubuntu to older versions, i tried to install old ones but the prompt says that it has no installation candidate , how do i downgrade my packages with dependencies ? | 10:37 |
| bright | x | 10:37 |
| magpie | Bright i have no idea, you are the second person today with the same problem | 10:37 |
| gogli | LjL : i want to start a application or script after 15 minuter from startup .How can i do this | 10:37 |
| fschulze | hi! I got issues with grub. it starts booing up, but I drop into initramfs and it says it can't mount the boot device "device not found". I tried with the UUID and /dev/sda1. The weird thing is, that the initramfs console doesn't take keyboard input, the whole keyboard seems to be dead at that point. | 10:37 |
| kanupatar | installation user will have the root access in ubuntu 12.04 ? | 10:38 |
| LjL | magpie, to be honest i'm not really aware of big downsides of chaining "sudo" and "su". it's just that you're basically using two commands that do similar things, when there's no reason for that, since "sudo" alone is perfectly capable of reaching root | 10:38 |
| LjL | kanupatar: yes, it will be in the admin/sudo group | 10:38 |
| kanupatar | so to add a user | 10:38 |
| kanupatar | addusr new ? | 10:38 |
| LjL | kanupatar: to add a user the best way is probably to use the GUI, since that will set up groups and everything | 10:38 |
| LjL | kanupatar: but the CLI way is "sudo adduser username", then you need to add it to the various groups you need with "sudo adduser username groupname" | 10:39 |

| === ubuntu is now known as Guest50254 | ||
| magpie | ikonia i didnt give him wrong information, try what i said (sudo su -) it will give you root privileges, i was told so in ubuntu forums therefore itsnt incorrect, it just happens to be another way to take root privileges | 10:39 |
| gaelfx | [flux]: at least I can still use Linux here though :D | 10:40 |
| kanupatar | i have added a user in cmd like addusr new | 10:40 |
| kanupatar | how can i add it into suoers? | 10:40 |
| [flux] | gaelfx: Lol if they banned that you'd have to sneak out thr country. | 10:40 |
| gogli | kanupatar:" useradd new_user_name" after that hit enter , it will ask for UNIX password ,just fill the specifications and voila .You have your user | 10:40 |
| magpie | popokpou are you here? | 10:41 |
| gaelfx | [flux]: we're already on our way out, just need a Visa for the wife. Then I might be able to convince HER to use Linux as well :D | 10:41 |
| oCean | [flux], gaelfx, please stop the offtopic | 10:41 |
| popokpou | still here, magpie | 10:41 |
| LjL | kanupatar: "sudo adduser username sudo", if you're on 12.04 | 10:41 |
| popokpou | have you got something for me? | 10:42 |
| magpie | he is not offtopic, the missus visa requires linux usage | 10:42 |
| magpie | popokpou no just checking | 10:42 |
| gaelfx | magpie: don't defend, it was ot | 10:42 |
| popokpou | gotta wait an hour or so to clean my usb drive to backup | 10:42 |
| magpie | hehe | 10:42 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: I'm guessing that's USB1.0 you're using? | 10:42 |
| popokpou | gaelfx, probably | 10:43 |
| magpie | drink some more wine mate, that will make time fly | 10:43 |
| gogli | Am i blocked or just ignored ? | 10:43 |
| gogli | LjL : i want to start a application or script after 15 minuter from startup .How can i do this | 10:43 |
| popokpou | i gotta be careful i don't get too drunk, i can't afford to muckup my backup! | 10:43 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: you should consider getting a USB3.0 pci card, if you can add it to your system, they FLY :D | 10:43 |
| popokpou | i'm on an old windows machine here, gaelfx | 10:44 |
| popokpou | i got super fast usb on my laptop | 10:44 |
| popokpou | (ubuntu laptop) | 10:44 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: ah, that would explain the old ATI card then :P | 10:44 |
| gogli | gaelfx: am i blocked ? | 10:44 |
| popokpou | nope, the ATI card was on the laptop | 10:44 |
| magpie | gogli you are not they probably dont know the answer | 10:44 |
| gaelfx | gogli: no, but I'm guessing no one knows the answer to your question, so they haven't answered ;) | 10:45 |
| magpie | i installed an ssd and i can verify that my laptop with xubuntu runs pretty damn fast | 10:45 |
| gogli | magpie: gaelfx : O ! thank god , i'm not blocked ...thanks for answering me | 10:45 |
| wmp | hello, after last upgrade ubuntu 12.04 i havent sound | 10:46 |
| magpie | gogli google ubuntu timer apps and maybe you will find something | 10:46 |
| gaelfx | magpie: out of curiosity, do you know which controller chipset it uses? is it sandforce? | 10:46 |
| magpie | what about gaelfx? | 10:46 |
| LjL | gogli: cron can run stuff at reboot. but i don't think it can run it n minutes *after* reboot. so you would need to combine cron with a timer script. | 10:46 |
| mz|` | wmp: do you have the modules installed and loaded ? 'lsmod | grep snd' ? | 10:46 |
| wmp | yes | 10:46 |

| gaelfx | magpie: the ssd you have? or could you tell me the manufacturer etc? | 10:47 |
| mz|` | mmh | 10:47 |
| wmp | mz|`: yes | 10:47 |

| gogli | ok ! guys .Let me goggle . | 10:47 |
| mz|` | all right in the sound/audiio manager ? | 10:47 |
| magpie | mz i think his problem might be that ubuntu and the rest ditros keep changing tha audio driver from default to the hdmi output | 10:47 |
| wmp | mz|`: yes | 10:47 |
| mz|` | magpie: good catch | 10:47 |
| magpie | thats what mine does | 10:47 |
| wmp | i have default stereo | 10:47 |
| wmp | hdmi is disabled | 10:48 |
| magpie | go to sound and check which one is selected | 10:48 |
| magpie | ok so the sound card is enabled to play? | 10:48 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: not sure, but why do you want to use the alternative installer? | 10:48 |
| wmp | yes | 10:48 |

| Bendude | could i get some help, iv just installed 12.04 on my netbook, its started up to somthing that "to me" looks like a command line. and from googleing it appears the solution at least starts with "sudo lightdm restart" but when i try that it just spits out "/bin/sh: sudo: not found" ...any help? | 10:49 |
| wmp | Bendude: run ubuntu in recovery mode | 10:49 |
| gaelfx | magpie: the reason I ask is that on my next machine I want to use an SSD also, but I've heard there are some issues with the sandforce controllers | 10:50 |

| gaelfx | er Kubuntu or whatever | 11:01 |

| daptordarattler | magpie: hmm ok | 11:01 |

| wmp | 3.3.0-030300-generic #201203182135 | 11:02 |
| tuff | hi | 11:02 |
| wmp | maybe this is form backports | 11:02 |
| gaelfx | wmp: have you installed the alsa backports? | 11:02 |
| magpie | daptor my Cedar HDMI Audio Radeon is of since it wont produce any sound therefore default is Built-In-Audio.. Is that what i should be using or find a way to change it? | 11:03 |
| Dr_willis | magpie, i have both. with some twiddling i have HDMI working now on my nvidia card | 11:03 |
| magpie | Dr_Willis thanks for answering | 11:03 |
| gogli | is their any anime mail client who dance/(any action) when my mail come ? | 11:03 |
| Dr_willis | magpie, if you got the other working.. is it woth the effort to change it? | 11:03 |
| magpie | So which one should i be using? | 11:03 |
| magpie | Dr-Willis im not sure, should i ? | 11:03 |
| ikonia | gogli: not really no, anime mail clients don't really exist. If you mean animations, there are things like notifications in the task bar when mail comes in | 11:04 |
| wmp | gaelfx: i havent this package in repos, and i havent installed it | 11:04 |
| gaelfx | wmp: it's ok, I have no reason to think it would work, was just guessing | 11:04 |
| wmp | ;) | 11:05 |
| wmp | i think i shoud downgrade alsa packages | 11:05 |
| gaelfx | wmp: and you did lsmod | grep snd and snd-hda-intel showed up? | 11:05 |
| wmp | yes | 11:05 |
| gogli | ikonia : i watch a movie in which a boy have a animated mail client : ) | 11:05 |
| daptordarattler | Maggie: dont have much insight on audio drivers | 11:06 |
| ikonia | gogli: contact him and ask him what he's using | 11:06 |
| daptordarattler | magpie: in my experience wat comes from ubunut is always best just needs some little tweaks in the config file | 11:06 |
| daptordarattler | or alsamixer | 11:06 |
| gaelfx | wmp: ok, last thing, and I know it's a stupid question to ask, but you're sure the correct audio device is selected in your Sound Settings? | 11:06 |
| wmp | yes | 11:07 |
| gaelfx | wmp: have you tried selecting a different kernel when you start up and see if that works? | 11:07 |
| gogli | gaelfx: ask wmp for paste his sound setting | 11:07 |
| gaelfx | gogli: that wouldn't be very useful for me, since I can't really read those things that well :P | 11:07 |
| gogli | gaelfx: ok ! : ) | 11:08 |
| wmp | gaelfx: this isn't good idea, becouse on this kernel all work for long time | 11:08 |

| gaelfx | wmp: yeah, but it would help in identifying the issue. all you have to do is start up the machine and hold shift until grub shows up, then select an older kernel and see if it gets your audio back | 11:09 |
| gaelfx | wmp: if it does, then we have some idea about how to solve the problem, if not, you restart into the kernel you're using now, nothing lost | 11:10 |
| wmp | ok, give me minute ;) | 11:10 |

| fluffyguy | Guys I just ran rkhunter and got 4 warnings, if anyone has time (and knowledge) pls check part of log. http://pastebin.com/tE6Un5CD | 11:17 |
| ikonia | gogli: they are input devices | 11:17 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: do you have reason to suspect you have a root kit ? | 11:17 |
| fluffyguy | Well lets say I´ve experianced some crashing | 11:18 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: that wouldn't suggest a root kit to me | 11:18 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: what sort of crashes ? | 11:18 |
| fluffyguy | nothing much (mostly openbox /lxpanel ) | 11:18 |
| gogli | !rkhunter | 11:19 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: that would suggest an instability with you video card more than it would suggest a rootkit | 11:19 |
| fluffyguy | I doubt someone will target me (UFW is on ,all ports expect torent are closed) | 11:19 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: unless you have reason to believe you have a root kit, don't go looking for one, tools such as rkhunter are a waste of time, look at what it's reporting on "rkit was added to the password file" - yes of course it was, the rkhunter application adds it, so it's calling itself a root kit, it's worthless | 11:19 |
| fluffyguy | oke ikonia ,then those warnings in rkhunter.log are nothing to worry about | 11:20 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: I would class the output you pasted as wrothless | 11:20 |
| gogli | wao ! ikonia is on fire .cool down | 11:20 |
| fluffyguy | And how would YOU search for rootkits? | 11:20 |
| ikonia | gogli: please stop that sort of thing, | 11:20 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: I'd have a suspect of a problem, and then invetigate that problem | 11:21 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: hence why I'm saying unless you have a reason to suggest you have a root kit running, don't go looking for one | 11:21 |

| fluffyguy | MS paranoid mentality :) | 11:23 |
| gaelfx | wmp: you've experienced what I like to call a hiccup. happens to all of us, no worries | 11:23 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: rootkit/graphics card problem....which sounds most realisitc | 11:23 |
| gogli | fluffyguy: what is rootkit and why are you using this ? | 11:24 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: it should show up in nautilus, just click it to mount it | 11:24 |
| fluffyguy | gogli you misunderstood my first question | 11:24 |
| wmp | this is oddly | 11:24 |
| popokpou | i'm not using an ubuntu livecd, all i have is a backtrack live cd | 11:24 |
| popokpou | all my ubuntu cd's are text-only/alternative installs | 11:24 |
| fluffyguy | ikonia is explaining me that Im having issues with my graphic card and Im panicking for nothing ( which is true) | 11:25 |
| popokpou | i need to mount the harddriev so i can back it up before i reinstall | 11:25 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: out of interest what type of video card is it ? | 11:25 |
| fluffyguy | popkpu google ubuntu force mount | 11:25 |
| popokpou | ok, thanks fluffyguy | 11:25 |
| fluffyguy | ikonia ATi Radeon x1050 agp (RV350 chip inside) | 11:25 |
| gogli | fluffyguy: i'm just asking .i don't know what is rootkit and for what purpose you are using i. Can you ad this to my knowledge | 11:25 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: what desktop (gnome/etc) are you using | 11:25 |
| fluffyguy | LXDE (Lubuntu 12.04) | 11:25 |
| Ricaz | Hey :) I need some help fixing my sister's Ubuntu. It broke during an update from 11.10 to 12.x. I can boot into the GNOME login thing, but when I log in, the screen goes blank for a minute and then it goes back to the login screen. | 11:26 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: suggestion, hardcode your xorg.conf file to use the "vesa" xorg driver, it's not a native hardware accelerated driver, but it's a stable fallback driver, see if that improves stability | 11:26 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: can you login in terminal? | 11:26 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: maybe a good idea to see how much of an issue the ati component is | 11:26 |
| Ricaz | If I can just do a clean 'install' from within ubuntu so she keeps all her files, that would be great, but I dunno how | 11:26 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx yes | 11:26 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: did you check dmesg for errors? | 11:27 |
| Ricaz | well not in the gnome-terminal, but on another screen | 11:27 |
| Ricaz | no | 11:27 |
| fluffyguy | ikonia problem is there is no xorg.conf anymore in this newer releases | 11:27 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: you can create one | 11:27 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: xorg.conf will override the autodetection | 11:27 |
| fluffyguy | Last time this card worked perrfectly on ubuntu 8.04 | 11:27 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: check dmesg for errors, let us know if you see anything interesting | 11:27 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: hence using xorg.conf to force the vesa module | 11:27 |
| fluffyguy | even 3D | 11:27 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: different kernel, different ati support | 11:28 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx how do I check it for errors? | 11:28 |
| fluffyguy | yea ... Honestly Im too "green" to mess with xorg.conf | 11:28 |
| fluffyguy | Id do mor eharm than good | 11:28 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: just type dmesg | 11:28 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: are you sure there is no xorg.conf while you're using the ati component "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 11:29 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: or dmesg | tail if you just want the last few lines of it | 11:29 |
| kanupatar | what is the command for updating the time from network then? | 11:29 |
| fluffyguy | ikonia yes ,gimme sec | 11:29 |
| noel82 | hi | 11:29 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: ntpdate | 11:29 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: or use the ntpd daemon | 11:29 |
| Nillerz | Hey, I updated my kernel to 3.4.4, now Jockey can't install Broadcom proprietary drivers | 11:29 |
| ikonia | Nillerz: that kernel hasn't been released for ubuntu | 11:30 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx yeah, LOTS of text, at the bottom it says "gnome-settings-[1375]: segfault at 144 ip 00b26b0 sp bfb35ef0 error 4 in libc-2.15.so[83e000+19f000]" | 11:30 |
| Nillerz | ikonia, yeah I know, but is there a way to make my broadcom chipset work anyway? | 11:30 |
| ikonia | Nillerz: you've just broke compatability, and using an unsupported kernel, you should have an idea of how to get these things workiung | 11:30 |
| yatta | hello | 11:30 |
| ikonia | Nillerz: why did you update the kernel ? | 11:30 |
| fluffyguy | ikonia http://tinypic.com/r/34oshtw/6 | 11:30 |
| === yatta is now known as Guest37816 | ||
| gogli | Ricaz: use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 11:31 |
| Nillerz | I needed to update in order to avoid the crazy amount of crashes I had for no apparent reason | 11:31 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: ok, could you make a new user and try to login with that user? | 11:31 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: annoying you'd have to create one | 11:31 |
| Ricaz | right.. okay | 11:31 |
| ikonia | Nillerz: why did you think updating the kernel to an unsupported kernel would fix these random issues | 11:31 |
| Nillerz | see this bug on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/993187 | 11:31 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 993187 in linux (Ubuntu Precise) "ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently." [Critical,Won't fix] | 11:31 |
| ikonia | Nillerz: what made you think they are kernel related problems | 11:31 |
| fluffyguy | and like I said Im just too "green" for that and actually system is working quite fine (only those crashes are a bit annoying) | 11:32 |
| Nillerz | the only "X worked" in that entire bug report is the one where he updated his kernel. | 11:32 |
| ikonia | Nillerz: yes, 3.3.6 was the fix he suggested | 11:33 |
| ikonia | Nillerz: you appear to have used a totally different and random kernel branch | 11:33 |
| Nillerz | Does the driver exist for 3.3.6? | 11:33 |
| ikonia | Nillerz: and looking at that bug report, it's random people offering random advice, some usint nvidia, some using intel etc, there doesn't appear to be much logic behind it from what I'm reading | 11:33 |
| Guest37816 | i have problem with watching youtube videos it's laggy and slow tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1987116 didn't work for me | 11:33 |
| Nillerz | right but the guy who filed the report claims that updating the kernel worked. | 11:34 |
| Nillerz | and so far, in the several hours since I've updated, there have been no crashes. | 11:34 |
| Guest37816 | also how to uninstall apps from wine tricks? | 11:34 |
| fluffyguy | Well Im off ,thanks ikonia for your time. | 11:34 |
| ikonia | Nillerz: yes, and he suggested a tottally different kernel than the one you've used | 11:35 |
| Nillerz | http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php/ according to the Broadcom website, their driver is agnostic to the actual kernel being ran | 11:35 |
| ikonia | fluffyguy: no problem, please try to keep in mind the possability of testing hte vesa xorg driver | 11:35 |
| fluffyguy | ikonia : Will do ,bye | 11:35 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx I can't login with the new user either | 11:35 |
| Guest37816 | and my boot time is long | 11:35 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx the screen flashes and returns to login screen | 11:35 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: have you tried using a LiveCD or LiveUSB? Does it work on there? | 11:36 |
| gogli | General type of mail configuration: No configuration ; Internet Site ; Internet with smarthost ; Satellite system ; Local only ............When i'm installing rkhunter , i stuck in this options .Can any one explain me what are this option for ? | 11:36 |
| ikonia | gogli: you should know what you are doing | 11:36 |
| ikonia | gogli: as I said to fluffy do not use rkhunter | 11:36 |
| gogli | ikonia : thats why i'm asking | 11:37 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx also, in the options dropdown in the login screen, i can choose "Recovery Console", "Ubuntu 2D" and "User defined session". When I choose recovery, it gives me a terminal window (with no borders etc., just a black box) | 11:37 |
| ikonia | gogli: it is a waste of time and will provide false results, don't go looking for rootkits unless you have reason to believe there is a problem | 11:37 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx no, I haven't tried that | 11:37 |
| Ricaz | Is it impossible to fix it from within ubuntu? | 11:37 |
| gogli | ikonia : ok , i will but please explain this mail confgiguration to me | 11:37 |
| ikonia | gogli: you don't need the mail configuration if you are not using rkhunter | 11:38 |
| ikonia | gogli: so you don't need to worry about it | 11:38 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: shouldn't be impossbile, I was just wondering because if the LiveCD/USB doesn't work, then it might be an issue with 12.04 not working on your hardware, but maybe we should save that for later | 11:38 |
| gogli | ikonia : please ,i'm begging you | 11:38 |
| ikonia | gogli: press cancel so the package doesn't install, that's what you need | 11:38 |
| gogli | ikonia : i want to know what are they for | 11:38 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: one thing you could try to do is reinstall ubuntu-desktop | 11:38 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx i think the problem is in gnome / unity | 11:38 |
| ikonia | gogli: they are for different types of mail server setups, you are running non of them, so don't need to worry | 11:38 |
| Ricaz | yeah? how? :D | 11:39 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 11:39 |
| gogli | ikonia : what is smarthost ? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | gogli: a mail config you are not running | 11:39 |
| gaelfx | lol | 11:39 |
| Guest37816 | how to associate py files with Python IDLE? | 11:40 |
| gogli | ikonia : please ! i'm going to cry now | 11:40 |
| ikonia | gogli: then I suggest you start crying. Look this channel is for ubuntu help - not "please tell me random linux things because I don't want to research" | 11:40 |
| ikonia | gogli: people have tried to guide you but you just ignore it and carry on, I suggest you look at more generic linux channels such as "##linux" | 11:41 |
| gaelfx | is there a command to view the history of installed packages? like which packages were installed when? | 11:41 |
| ikonia | gaelfx: the dpkg log is a quick read | 11:42 |
| gaelfx | ikonia: which way would you view in cli? | 11:42 |
| popokpou | what is a nice quick way to backup all my files onto a usb harddrive from the command line? | 11:42 |
| ikonia | gaelfx: cat it, more it, vi it, grep for the package | 11:42 |
| ikonia | popokpou: cp $FILES /path/to/usb | 11:42 |
| gaelfx | ikonia: ok, sorry, but where is that file? | 11:43 |
| ikonia | gaelfx: /var/log I think | 11:43 |
| popokpou | so, $cp /home /usb | 11:43 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx I found a way to reinstall ubuntu-desktop and all it dependencies, so I will try that :) | 11:43 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: good, be sure and let us know if it works or not | 11:44 |

Also, the cursor is an X and I can't click "OK". | 12:06 |

| gaelfx | Ricaz: hm, one step forward, two steps back, eh? | 12:16 |
| ikonia | why is this funny ? | 12:16 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx yes. I'm trying a dpkg-reconfigure now | 12:17 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: when that's finished, if it doesn't work, could you pastebin lspci? | 12:17 |
| Ricaz | I will | 12:18 |
| bright | hello i get this problem Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap | 12:18 |
| Ricaz | I don't know it this is working, though, after I typed the command, it looks like it's working, but it's not printing anything. | 12:18 |
| bright | what is the matter | 12:18 |
| bright | ? | 12:18 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: lspci lists nothing??? | 12:19 |
| bright | can anyone help?: problem Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap | 12:20 |
| Ricaz | oh no no, dpkg did nothing | 12:20 |
| Ricaz | dpkg-reconfigure | 12:20 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: whoa, ok :P | 12:20 |
| Ricaz | also, how do I paste it to pastebin with no browser? :P | 12:21 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: I don't know if that normally outputs anything unless you include a verbose command or what | 12:21 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: I believe you can use pastebinit, this machine does have an internet connection, right? | 12:21 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx yes | 12:21 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx so I have pastebinit now | 12:22 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: then I think pastebinit > lspci should work | 12:22 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx Okay, I did that, waiting for it to finish.. not printing anything either :p give me status messages! | 12:24 |
| gaelfx | is that the right way to give the output of one command as the input for another command? | 12:24 |
| Sicp | I have a Ubuntu 12.04 here and I've just installed Netbeans 7.1, I don't get anything when accessing the Plugins section of Netbeans..no catalog and no reloading capability. I strongly feel that this is somehow related to Ubuntu? | 12:24 |
| Sicp | I have it on my Arch and it's fine | 12:24 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx i don't know, I think so | 12:24 |
| Ricaz | what about | ? | 12:25 |
| Sicp | plus the menu bar on the top is always faded and it doesn't integrate back to the very top like all other applications, it's still within the Netbeans window | 12:25 |

| Ricaz | gaelfx i'll do a reboot | 12:32 |
| Ricaz | you gathered anything from the paste? | 12:32 |
| Ricaz | i should say it has worked perfectly on 11.10 | 12:32 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: not really, I thought it might be a graphics issue, but since that card is kind of old, and not one with proprietary drivers, I doubt it | 12:33 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: here's another option: does your sister need to keep anything in /home? | 12:33 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx yes | 12:33 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: I mean things like chatlogs or whatever? | 12:34 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx yeah, and images | 12:34 |
| Ricaz | music | 12:34 |
| Ricaz | I guess I could start it with a LiveUSB, extract all the stuff and reinstall completely | 12:34 |
| Ricaz | I wish there was a reinstall-ubuntu-to-latest-version-and-keep-home-folder command | 12:35 |
| popokpou | how do i copy everything on a usb to my harddrive? | 12:35 |
| popokpou | i tried $cp /media/external /home/BACKUPDIRECTORY | 12:35 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: there sort of is, but you need to install the right way in the first place | 12:35 |
| popokpou | but it didn't work | 12:35 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx, so you'd recommend the full reinstall? | 12:36 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: what I usually do is creat a separate '/home' partition so that when I reinstall a newer version, I don't lose /home | 12:36 |
| popokpou | i'm having to do a new reinstall too, after graphics issues arose for no reason | 12:36 |
| popokpou | really really annoying | 12:36 |
| Attie | popokpou: have you tried 'cp -R' ? | 12:36 |
| popokpou | what is the -R for, attie? | 12:36 |
| Attie | recursive | 12:36 |
| popokpou | does it grab all the files in the various directories? | 12:36 |
| popokpou | great thanks | 12:36 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: chances are it'll be faster than whatever solution we *might* end up arriving at here | 12:36 |
| Attie | or a better (IMO) option is to tar it | 12:36 |
| Ricaz | popokpou you need to do it recursively :) | 12:37 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx yeah I guess so | 12:37 |
| Attie | tar -cavf ~/backup.tgz /media/external | 12:37 |
| popokpou | that seems to eb working, thanks guys | 12:37 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: but when you do that, sometimes you need to get rid of older .config stuff to get things looking right | 12:37 |
| bretzel | Hi, I use google-chrome ( not chromium) (and firefox). google-chrome: at each 5 seconds, the browser freezes during 1 second then back to normal ( CPU @100% during freeze) | 12:37 |
| popokpou | does anyone know if just copy/pasting your virtualbox directories will allow you to restore them after a reformat? | 12:38 |
| popokpou | \i know its a question a bit off-topic | 12:38 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: generally, it's not a great idea to update from one version to another as almost always something ends up broken | 12:38 |
| popokpou | but this is my primary concern given i have to reformat due to thses graphical issues | 12:38 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: it should be fine | 12:38 |
| popokpou | the word "should" scares me, gaelf | 12:38 |
| popokpou | i have a bitcoin wallet on a VM and if i lose it i'll cry | 12:38 |
| bretzel | The freeze does not happend on other distros I run. Only on Ubuntu* (and also on mint13) | 12:38 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx lol I should've known that | 12:38 |
| Attie | popokou: vmware is fine, you just have to say 'moved' instead of 'copied' next time you power the vm on. I imagine vb is similar | 12:39 |
| popokpou | i'm using virtualbox | 12:39 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: well, they offer to update via update manager, so it's not really your fault for thinking it would be ok | 12:39 |
| popokpou | ok. i hope so, attie | 12:39 |
| popokpou | i'm so mad at ubuntu for doing this to me | 12:39 |
| === vibhav is now known as ILoveUbuntuOMG | ||
| Attie | what's happened? | 12:40 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: at any rate, testing a LiveUSB is a great way to know if the newer version will work on your hardware or not, so it's always a good idea to try anyhow | 12:40 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx if not, I will just install debian or arch or something.. a bit tired of ubuntu | 12:40 |
| popokpou | for no reason at all i get this message prior ot the startup screen, and i'm paraphrasing now because i've been here for two hours troubleshooting this to no avail, but something like "uibuntu now loading in low graphics mode" and then teh screen goes black | 12:40 |
| gaelfx | Attie: he's been spending a long time today dealing with a graphical problem | 12:41 |
| popokpou | i'm at thep onint now where i'm having to unencrypt home directories and backup and then reformat | 12:41 |
| Ricaz | i have arch on my own laptop, and I've never had any such problems with it | 12:41 |
| popokpou | and if i lose anything i'm going to start smashing in skulls | 12:41 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou: this is till happening after the resinstallation? | 12:41 |
| Attie | popokpou gaelfx: i see *sad face* | 12:41 |
| gaelfx | daptordarattler: I don't think he's gotten to that point yet | 12:41 |
| popokpou | haven't reinstalled yet, daptor. i'm still cleaning off a usb drive so i can backup my stuff | 12:41 |
| daptordarattler | oh Ok thats good | 12:42 |
| popokpou | i thank you all for your concern | 12:42 |
| shaneo | hey guys im having alot of dependencie errors all of a sudden http://paste.ubuntu.com/1077978/ any suggestions on how to fix it? all was fine yesterday but when i went to perform updates this morning it says all deps are failing | 12:42 |
| Attie | popokpou, when you reinstall you should really make a seperate partition for /home works a charm... also dont encrypt your homes... unless you have a good reason! | 12:42 |
| daptordarattler | did u try a complete analyses with df on ur home directory for the large space being taken? | 12:42 |
| popokpou | will do, attie. how much space should i allocate? 20G? | 12:42 |
| Nillerz | Hey, can anyone help me try to get broadcom-sta running with a non-official kernel? | 12:43 |
| Attie | should be fine | 12:43 |
| bilel | Hi, I have a strange bug with my computer, it's a laptop with ubuntu 12.04, when I just close it, it should go in standby mode, but very often (like 1 time on 5), he keeps on turning, when I come back, I'm hearing the fan noise wich is turning at its max level, and the bottom is warm so it has been like this during the whole time, when I open it, there is a black screen and I can't do... | 12:43 |
| bilel | ...anything but shutdown with the button... do you know why this happens? | 12:43 |
| Attie | popokpou, a bit more. i did ~70GB / 1TB on one of my boxes | 12:43 |
| Attie | has plenty left | 12:43 |
| === ILoveUbuntuOMG is now known as vibhav | ||
| popokpou | on second thoughts, i have virtual machines that ilve in my home directory and they all have 30G harddrives so probabyl more like 100G | 12:44 |
| popokpou | maybe more | 12:44 |
| gaelfx | Attie: I've already told him to make separate partition for /home :P | 12:44 |
| popokpou | whats teh idea with partitioning home? is it just so its easy to backup your files? | 12:44 |
| daptordarattler | That will probably be it, assuming u dedicated the drive space at install | 12:44 |
| gaelfx | in fact, I think I've told a lot of people to do that today | 12:44 |
| Attie | gaelfx: cool! ill shush - sorry for stepping on toes :) | 12:45 |
| Attie | heh... | 12:45 |
| popokpou | they should make ti default in ubuntu install for those of us who wouldn't know to do that | 12:45 |
| daptordarattler | popokpou yeah | 12:45 |
| daptordarattler | thats the main idea | 12:45 |
| gaelfx | Attie: haha, no worries, just keepin you up to date. Please don't shush | 12:45 |
| daptordarattler | I dont like it cos then most of the time I have to create a new mount point to save larger files | 12:45 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: yeah, I've said that many times, but as iceroot has pointed out, it's difficult to decide the right defaults for that sort of thing | 12:46 |
| gaelfx | popokpou: still, there should be an option in teh default installer for that sort of set up | 12:46 |
| popokpou | so i'm copying a large amoutn of files usign command line on my ubuntu server machine (transfering USB filse to server to clean off the usb).. i'm wondering if its normal for it just to sit there with teh cursor flashing or would it be telling me that its copying the files over? its a hell of a lot of files | 12:46 |
| daptordarattler | gaelfx:I dont like it cos then most of the time I have to create a new mount point to save larger files | 12:46 |
| daptordarattler | gaelfx: think its too much of a hustle to get a separate partition for home especially for newbies | 12:46 |
| BotaniCar | popokpou: get iostat runing and see if disks do something | 12:46 |
| Attie | popokpou, command line is quiet... just wait :) | 12:47 |
| popokpou | just so long as i'm not waiting here like an idiot and nothing is happening | 12:47 |
| gaelfx | daptordarattler: that's why I think it should be a simple option in the installer | 12:47 |
| === ecthiender_ is now known as ecthiender | ||
| popokpou | i know it'll probably take an hour to copy everything over | 12:47 |
| gaelfx | daptordarattler: then, if people need to reinstall, they don't have to worry about losing the stuff on /home | 12:47 |
| popokpou | it'd be nice to have some sort of confirmation or soemthing tho... | 12:47 |
| daptordarattler | gaelfx: if thats the case then that wont be the solution | 12:48 |
| popokpou | damn, i never realised that, so i coudl reinstall and all my stuff in /home would still be there | 12:48 |
| popokpou | thats great | 12:48 |

| ubottu | Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 12:48 |
| daptordarattler | gaelfx: because when ur reinstalling u can decide not to format the ext4 partition and everything in ur home will be left untouched | 12:48 |
| oCean | !ur | daptordarattler | 12:48 |
| ubottu | daptordarattler: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'ryt', 'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. | 12:48 |
| daptordarattler | gaelfx: thats more reliable than a seperate partition | 12:48 |
| daptordarattler | oCean: huh? | 12:48 |
| gaelfx | daptordarattler: but if your /home is not on a separate partition, you need to format it along with / | 12:49 |
| oCean | daptordarattler: the use of "u" and "ur" instead of you and you are is hard to understand for non-native speakers | 12:49 |
| daptordarattler | oh sorry lol, ubottu | 12:49 |
| daptordarattler | got that down, sorry people | 12:49 |
| mink | Hello guys. Maybe any one can explain how delete icon from bottom bar (screenshot here -> http://oi49.tinypic.com/552ybk.jpg )? :<<< | 12:50 |
| daptordarattler | gaelfx: its like with windows where people put their documents on a seperate partition, but u dont really have to unless its encrypted | 12:50 |
| daptordarattler | cos when u reinstall and dont format the partition ur home or user folders are left intact in all operating systems | 12:50 |
| daptordarattler | sorry again | 12:51 |
| gaelfx | daptordarattler: yeah, but if you reinstall to an unformatted partition, things can get really bad in really weird ways | 12:51 |
| oCean | :( | 12:51 |
| daptordarattler | you and because | 12:51 |
| daptordarattler | I cant help it | 12:51 |
| oCean | keep trying :) | 12:51 |
| daptordarattler | Thats true | 12:51 |
| gaelfx | daptordarattler: the problem with the way people do windows partitions is that they tend to make four where they only need two | 12:51 |
| daptordarattler | the only problem i see there is the configuration files that are left in ubuntu on the home directory | 12:52 |
| daptordarattler | gaelfx: not in my experience | 12:52 |
| gaelfx | daptordarattler: yes, THAT is the biggest problem, but easily solved with rm :D | 12:52 |
| daptordarattler | they just mostly do two | 12:52 |
| daptordarattler | but I dont like it, I prefer one and install over that one | 12:52 |
| gaelfx | daptordarattler: well, in China, every computer I've seen has 4 and they are evenly divided into the hard drive size, it's totally atrociuos to witness such practice on a large scale, and there is no scale larger than China | 12:53 |
| daptordarattler | with ubuntu you could just delete all the ".config" files in ur home when u run the live install before you reinstall over that | 12:53 |
| daptordarattler | lol | 12:53 |
| daptordarattler | China eh | 12:53 |

| gaelfx | judh: tried links instead? | 12:54 |
| daptordarattler | gaelfx: in my country poeple dont like seeing too many things on their computers because they say it makes them loose focus, so you find them having an average of 2 partitions | 12:55 |

| gaelfx | [flux]: simple sleep time_second && command in startup application | 13:05 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, thats when i got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1077978/ | 13:05 |
| morten77 | MonkeyDust: are the a more broad irc channel for not-supported things btw? | 13:05 |
| gaelfx | [flux]: that's exactly what he told me | 13:05 |
| morten77 | *there | 13:06 |
| carpediembaby | how does uninstall of self compiled packages work? | 13:06 |
| MonkeyDust | morten77 there's #ubuntu-offtopic and #defocus | 13:06 |
| mangapan | hi all | 13:06 |
| daptordarattler | try dist-upgrade and lets see | 13:06 |
| gaelfx | carpediembaby: I believe you have to do make uninstall | 13:06 |
| oCean | morten77: also ##linux for generic linux help | 13:06 |
| morten77 | ok | 13:06 |
| Attie | carpediembaby: if you installed the files by hand too, then its just an 'rm' - careful of breaking dependancies though | 13:06 |
| Ricaz | Weird.. When I try to boot from my freshly created LiveUSB, it just skips it and goes directly into my installed ubuntu | 13:06 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, ok | 13:07 |
| carpediembaby | gaelfx: i mean, i use apt-get for that also? my problem is that i compiled ruby from source and i don't want to remove the default ruby that comes with ubuntu | 13:07 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, nope a whole lot more errors | 13:07 |
| gaelfx | carpediembaby: no, apt-get will only work for packages that were installed using apt-get | 13:07 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: tyr "sudo dpkg -i --configure -a" | 13:07 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: i meant try | 13:08 |
| carpediembaby | gaelfx: so how do i remove the other versions? | 13:08 |
| habib | hey! how to run apps us root | 13:08 |
| gaelfx | carpediembaby: if you compiled it from source, then you had to do make && make install, correct? | 13:08 |
| habib | i need to run few apps by root | 13:08 |
| carpediembaby | gaelfx: yes | 13:08 |
| habib | how to | 13:08 |
| gaelfx | !sudo | habib | 13:08 |
| ubottu | habib: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 13:08 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, dpkg: error: conflicting actions (--configure) and -i (--install) | 13:09 |
| gaelfx | carpediembaby: so you need to do make uninstall | 13:09 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: tyr "sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 13:09 |
| carpediembaby | gaelfx: but in which directory? | 13:09 |
| gaelfx | carpediembaby: whichever directory the make file is in | 13:09 |
| gogli | help me .I can't mount my HDD | 13:09 |
| carpediembaby | gaelfx: aha | 13:09 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, still the same errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/1078004/ | 13:10 |
| gogli | gaelfx: I can't any of my device .When i did so , i get i/o error | 13:10 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: i can only see what you did with dist-upgrade, wat happened to dpkg --configure -a? | 13:11 |
| carpediembaby | gaelfx: no rule to make target uninstall | 13:11 |

| ikonia | gogli: it's already mounted, as the error clrealy says | 13:17 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: all those errors are saying an older version of lingnutls26 is installed | 13:17 |
| === max is now known as Guest88697 | ||
| daptordarattler | and this happened after u installed it for transmission | 13:17 |
| cristian_c | ActionPa1snip, Easystroke is a gesture-recognition program, which can execute predefined actions based on "gestures" that you draw on the screen. | 13:18 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: did u install it from a different source for transmission or from the repository? | 13:18 |
| cristian_c | ActionPa1snip, I must activate gestures, not action instead :) | 13:18 |
| cristian_c | *actins | 13:18 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, from the repo | 13:18 |
| daptordarattler | purge it and transmission ryt now? | 13:18 |
| cristian_c | **actions | 13:19 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, to only problem is if i try to remove it it uninstalls everything | 13:19 |

| shaneo | daptordarattler, 26 system packages are broken | 13:21 |
| daptordarattler | ok, and what fix does it give u "apt-get -f install"? | 13:21 |

| shaneo | daptordarattler, after that libgnutls26 is now at latest version | 13:48 |
| mithran | gaelfx: is it ok? | 13:48 |
| LjL | Nillerz: not updating opens you up to security issues, for a start | 13:48 |
| Nillerz | Security updates are one thing, but updates in general? No. It's working now, it will keep working | 13:48 |
| OerHeks | Nillerz, i have dpkg 1.16.1.2ubuntu7 on this 64 bit 12.04. he has to update, or something else is bugging him. | 13:48 |
| LjL | Nillerz: well, Ubuntu really only provides updates (aside from some specific packages) for security issues and serious bugs | 13:48 |
| Nillerz | OerHeks, He says he can't add the proper PPA | 13:49 |
| LjL | Nillerz: it doesn't generally just give you "new versions" of software | 13:49 |

| shaneo | *all works | 13:51 |
| Nillerz | id30493403053853, do that ^^ what he said | 13:51 |
| id30493403053853 | yeah i know | 13:51 |
| id30493403053853 | but the thing is | 13:52 |
| id30493403053853 | whatever | 13:52 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: great, check the apps that were in the package error list to make sure we are safe ;-) | 13:52 |
| Nillerz | id30493403053853, what is the thing? | 13:52 |
| IdleOne | Nillerz: giving half commands and dubious advice is something we really frown upon in this channel. Please try to be more precise with the support you provide. | 13:52 |
| id30493403053853 | apt-get update? | 13:52 |
| Nillerz | after you add the repository, yes | 13:53 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1078072/ should i clear all this? | 13:53 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, there all i386 packages | 13:53 |
| melkor | shaneo: why wouldn't you clear that? | 13:54 |
| Nillerz | IdleOne, I'm not going to advise someone to do a complete system update if he's just having issues adding a repository | 13:54 |
| mithran | gaelfx: is there any mistake?????? | 13:54 |
| shaneo | melkor, idkjust checking | 13:54 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: did you get it working? | 13:54 |
| id30493403053853 | the thing is that you cant add ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa to software sources from ubuntu software center | 13:55 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: have u checked the packages that came with them? | 13:55 |
| gaelfx | mithran: no mistake, but it didn't find your windows, hang on | 13:55 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx no, not at all | 13:55 |
| melkor | shaneo: most likely it is fine to remove, unless you have something special setup where you require those packages, but none of your installed packages need them. | 13:55 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: yes you can remove them, they are no longer in use | 13:55 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx it won't boot the LiveUSB | 13:55 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: so then everything will be fine | 13:55 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: wow, that's pretty disheartening :( | 13:55 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, melkor, ok autoremove complete now i guess its time to start reinstalling everything | 13:55 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: most of them were installed when you first installed the fix for transmission right? | 13:55 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx yup :< | 13:55 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, probably | 13:56 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: seems like it might be best if you stick with 11.10 then :/ | 13:56 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: then u have no problem | 13:56 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx and the CDs I have lying around won't do the job | 13:56 |
| melkor | Ricaz: I had a problem with the live cd, but I made a bootable usb and it worked fine. | 13:56 |
| Ricaz | well, neither work right now :P | 13:56 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, well thank you for all of your help ive been trying to fix it for two days | 13:56 |
| Nillerz | id30493403053853, if you add it via the terminal, then you'll be able to access it through Ubuntu Software Center. | 13:56 |
| daptordarattler | shaneo: everything will work fine now, no large apps were removed and most of them would have been installed when u did the dist-upgrade | 13:56 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx How can I stick with it? it already updated to 12.04, that's when it stopped working | 13:56 |
| id30493403053853 | Nillerz: yeah i notiiced that | 13:57 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, nothing was installed on dist-upgrade | 13:57 |

| Ricaz | melkor usb drive to the options, so it will boot the LiveUSB from grub and not from.. well bottom level IO | 14:01 |
| Ricaz | all I have is a terminal though, and nothing happens when I insert the USB drive | 14:01 |
| melkor | Ricaz: I don't know what you mean, what do you expect to happen when you insert a usb? | 14:02 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: you need to make the computer boot from USB, jus inserting it won't make the live version start | 14:02 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx I know that, but I'm worried it won't detect it | 14:03 |
| Ricaz | I mean I | 14:03 |

| kalikk | ubuntu is using network, i am not using anything , but it is downloading near 19-20 KBps | 14:05 |
| Ricaz | :< :< :< | 14:05 |
| kalikk | how to know, what application is using it | 14:06 |
| melkor | Ricaz: it is probably easiest to figure out how to boot from the usb via your bios/computers boot menu. | 14:06 |
| shaneo | daptordarattler, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1078094/ | 14:06 |
| ActionPa1snip | bcurtiswx: d'oh :). also install gnome-mplayer, there is also w32codecs from medibuntu repo | 14:06 |
| gaelfx | Ricaz: how did you originally install Ubuntu? | 14:06 |
| MonkeyDust | Ricaz i havent followed, but if you can't boot from usb, try booting from a cd | 14:06 |
| bcurtiswx | ActionPa1snip, thx | 14:06 |
| Ricaz | gaelfx from CD | 14:06 |
| kalikk | i did netstat-a and some connections are with canonical | 14:06 |
| kalikk | how to stop ubuntu from that | 14:06 |
| Ricaz | problem is I don't have any CDs | 14:06 |
| melkor | Ricaz: otherwise you will have to create a grub entry that points to the usb drive and loads the kernel. It is not trivial and might not work. | 14:06 |

| shaneo | daptordarattler, thats all its giving me | 14:07 |

| ActionPa1snip | skelterjohn: well, if you are connecting via the WAN IP of the switch then the system assumes you are trying to get acess from outside, if you disabled WAN configuration then it will black you | 14:11 |
| melkor | Ricaz: then you are missing a bios option or a boot option. Before grub comes up you should be able to select USB. It might not be called USB Memory. Make sure to have the USB in the slot when you go to the bios it might give you different options. | 14:11 |

| melkor | merp_: I'm not familiar with the camera, what do you want to happen? | 14:22 |
| skelterjohn | ActionPa1snip: I cannot | 14:22 |

| merp_ | But the camera doesnt show up | 14:23 |

| Kapli | how do I change the boot option? | 15:01 |
| melkor | merp_: sudo umount | 15:01 |
| Chad___ | merp_: sudo umount | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | Kapli | 15:01 |
| ubottu | Kapli: 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 | 15:01 |
| merp_ | Oh, I tried unmount. not lots of luck, i guess. | 15:01 |
| melkor | merp_: You might want to add a line to your fstab so that you can mount / unmount your camera without being root. | 15:01 |
| merp_ | Would it be possible to make a script that when i run it it mounts the camera and another to unmount? | 15:02 |
| melkor | merp_: absolutely. | 15:02 |
| merp_ | Thanks, ill do that. | 15:02 |
| jelly-home | Hello. What tool can I use to read and send SMS messages off a Huawei E180 3g usb modem in 12.04? | 15:02 |
| Pinkamena_D | ok wel | 15:02 |
| shaneo | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1078153/ | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | shaneo: if you run: df -h do you have lots of spare space on your partitions? | 15:03 |
| merp_ | how do i edit fstab? | 15:03 |
| crazymindstorm | @jelly-home u can use umtsmon with your 3g card | 15:03 |
| Pinkamena_D | i believe that the table is half there after an attempt, for example under default if you type route -n you should at least see the two routes, one with the gateway as 0.0.0.0 and one with the destination as 0.0.0.0 | 15:03 |

| ubottu | merp_ have a read please: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 15:04 |

| shaneo | ActionParsnip, yup http://paste.ubuntu.com/1078156/ | 15:04 |
| jelly-home | crazymindstorm: apt-cache search umtsmon shows nothing, not a part of the distro? | 15:04 |

| ikonia | sunshinehappy: are you using it on ubuntu ? | 15:10 |
| bazhang | sunshinehappy, its not. please stop repeating that | 15:10 |

| markus__ | hey, anybody else is having issues with their install of diablo 3 on ubuntu ? my cd reader / writer is kinda broken, and it did eat the diablo 3 install disk after one ussage... then my internet gabe up and now the game says it is fully updated but i don't think so... i can launch the game, and see the awsome render intro, i even get to the login screen, can enter my password and stuff but when it comes to the character screen it do | 15:20 |
| markus__ | esn't work... so i m thinking that it might have something todo with a messed up installation... i already downloaded the online installer from blizzard.net and try to run it throw wine, but that doesn't work either it gives some weird error messages like: error code BLZPTS000007 can't run Agent programm something like that... i don' want to install windows just to fix this | 15:20 |
| ikonia | markus__: diablo is a windows game | 15:21 |
| Gosset_Inofensiu | hi i've been searching the web but no solution to my problem with nautilus when opening a NTFS partition. The problem is reproduced under gnome and ubuntu | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | markus__: did you check the appdb for cmpatibility? | 15:21 |
| markus__ | yeah, i did check that... i installed it throw playoflinux | 15:21 |
| ikonia | markus__: depending on wine as a solution will end in dissapointment | 15:21 |
| ikonia | markus__: therefore, if you want to play windows games without issue, I'd advise you to use windows | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | markus__: I'd ask in #winehq | 15:21 |
| shaneo | ActionParsnip, nope still wont install | 15:22 |
| markus__ | thanks for the advice, so i guess i will have to install windoof again -.- | 15:22 |
| markus__ | fix the problem with my game install, and pray to god it works then | 15:22 |
| ikonia | markus__: if it works today, it may / may not work tomorrowo | 15:22 |
| ikonia | markus__: as games release patches/requirements change wine may/may not work | 15:23 |
| mjwillz4 | Markus, I just tried to install D3 through playonlinux. | 15:23 |
| ikonia | so using it as a long term stable solution, is not something I personally advise | 15:23 |
| Gosset_Inofensiu | I'm sorry to bother you all, but each time I open a NTFS partition under Ubuntu Nautilus get 100% CPU and freezes | 15:23 |
| mjwillz4 | It hung at the download, and the ncrashed. | 15:23 |
| markus__ | yeah, that could also had happend to me, though i blame my cd rom drive too | 15:23 |
| markus__ | thanks for you advices though i m gonna dig for that install disc for windoof of mine -.- | 15:24 |
| ikonia | markus__: that's my personal opinion, others are happy with the limitations / risks of using wine as a solution | 15:24 |
| Gosset_Inofensiu | nobody? | 15:25 |
| Chad___ | If I have an extrenal hard drive, should the fstab fsck order be 0 or 2? | 15:27 |

| wylde | no obfuscated cursing either :P | 15:32 |
| mdelcx | popokpou: yes - you should also use -p | 15:32 |
| Gosset_Inofensiu | maybe was a bad idea to create a NTFS partition to store my data | 15:32 |
| alankila | popokpou: sure | 15:32 |
| Gosset_Inofensiu | instead of /home | 15:32 |
| mdelcx | to preserve permissions | 15:32 |
| MacroMan | alankila: I'll try and see if I have any luck with file. thanks | 15:32 |
| popokpou | so i should use -p as well as -R? | 15:32 |

| merp_ | is how the script goes | 15:34 |
| merp_ | but when i do it | 15:34 |
| merp_ | in terminal it says: | 15:35 |
| sassas123 | Hello, guys! Could you help me with my HP Compaq 630? | 15:35 |
| merp_ | [sudo] password for ubik: mount: special device dv/sdc1 does not exist mount: special device dv/sdb1 does not exist | 15:35 |
| merp_ | help? | 15:35 |
| alankila | merp_: use ; to separate statements in one line. And why do you try to mount two devices into same path? And does the directory 'camera' even exist? And it should probably be /dev/sdb1 | 15:35 |
| wylde | merp_: why the cd? also, dev not dv | 15:35 |
| sassas123 | yeah | 15:36 |
| sassas123 | help | 15:36 |
| revol0xf | merp_: 'dv', it should be /dev/ | 15:36 |
| studio | i have a problem i had a partition for linux-swap but now gparted recognize it as unkown | 15:36 |

| revol0xf | merp_: that's why it is better to mount using uuid | 15:37 |
| bazhang | bharath, you mean lamp | 15:37 |
| merp_ | sassas123, could you be more specific | 15:37 |
| bharath | bazhang: yeah | 15:37 |
| bazhang | bharath, use the lamp from ubuntu, not in /opt | 15:37 |
| wylde | bharath: why not use the solution from the repos? | 15:37 |
| merp_ | <alankila> merp_: maybe use /dev/disk/by-uuid then [10:37] <revol0xf> merp_: that's why it is better to mount using uuid i cant mount normally, idk why. | 15:37 |
| genii-around | merp_: So as I understand... your camera behaves a hard drive, and you want to see what is on it from the computer? | 15:37 |

| bazhang | bharath, wylde told you twice now | 15:39 |
| wylde | bharath: tasksel is the easiest method IMHO | 15:40 |
| genii-around | merp_: If you unplug it, then plug it back in... then: dmesg|tail and see what designation it got like sdd or sde or so on. Then the mount is like: sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mountpoint where mountpoint is a directory like /mnt for instance. | 15:40 |
| sassas123 | I bought it today) | 15:40 |
| bharath | wylde: ok | 15:40 |
| merp_ | bro, no worries, just have to replace dv with dev | 15:40 |

| === loiu76g43 is now known as dury | ||
| studio | i have a problem i had a partition for linux-swap but now gparted recognize it as unkown | 15:41 |
| revol0xf | merp_: because uuid will remain the same and you don't have to worry about the changing device file name. | 15:41 |
| alankila | so that is why uuids beat dealing with the device names... because they identify the partition, not the way it is accessed | 15:41 |
| luzil | is there a folder like program files in windows in ubuntu where i can see which software was installed, update to 12 lts broke my system "no filessystem could mount root", i can access the old partitions via ubuntu live cd and want to note down my installed programs for new 12 lts clean install. Anyone has a tip to get that list? | 15:41 |

| dury | in 12.04 LTS there is not xscreensaver :-( | 15:42 |
| genii-around | merp_: Also as many are saying you may want to use UUID and make an entry in the /etc/fstab for it with that, so if you plug/unplug a lot of usb storage things, it will always know certain one is the same as before | 15:42 |
| compdoc | studio, partitions dont just disappear. what do you think happened? | 15:42 |
| sassas123 | I use Xubuntu 12.04. But i think it is not imporant | 15:42 |
| wylde | !chroot | luzil | 15:42 |
| ubottu | luzil: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 15:42 |

| compdoc | studio, luckily, the system can boot and run without the swap. how long has it been that way? | 15:46 |
| studio | compdoc:today i noticed that | 15:47 |
| dury | xscreensaver bazhang | 15:47 |
| genii-around | merp_: To find the camera UUID first you have to mount it with the /dev/sdX# way. Then you issue: sudo blkid and it will give you the UUID | 15:47 |
| dury | bazhang: in 12.04 LTS | 15:47 |
| wylde | ignerious: yes, like 0755 <--- that would make it read/write for the owner, 0500 <--- readable ONLY by owner and not group and not world | 15:47 |
| compdoc | studio, its possible its been that way for a while, then. Maybe some program you installed did that | 15:48 |
| bazhang | dury, what is the actual question | 15:48 |

| Pinkamena_D | help i am trying to create my default routes back after i flushed them and when i put sudo ip route add default via 192.168.3.1 it says "rnet link : no such process" | 15:48 |
| studio | compdoc:i dont know maybe but how can i fix this | 15:48 |
| merp_ | nvm, scripts are done, need no more help, sorry for seeming to be a jerk but i cant use uuid. | 15:48 |
| bazhang | mjwillz4, using xrandr ? | 15:48 |
| wylde | ignerious: there shouold be a better explanation at the link the bot posted. | 15:48 |
| wylde | should* | 15:48 |
| compdoc | studio, if youre sure its the swap partition, and its not being used somehow, recreate it with gparted | 15:49 |
| studio | compdoc:i tried i cant | 15:49 |
| dury | bazhang: I want to xscreensaver to start automatically without launch it | 15:49 |

| === spacebug is now known as spacebug- | ||
| luzil | thanks but how does chroot help me, i cannot even boot old ubuntu 11, only access partition via live usb and ubuntuforums told me to do clean install with this upgrade problem | 15:49 |
| mjwillz4 | Bazhang, I got a result off of it, but it only detects one display | 15:49 |

| studio | compdoc:wait iam gonna reboot and see if the problem persists | 15:50 |
| compdoc | ok | 15:50 |
| wylde | luzil: you chroot into the old filesystem from the live usb, then use the dpkg --get-selections to list all the installed applications. | 15:51 |
| dury | bazhang: this the messege I got whenever I launch it -> The Xscreensaver daemon doesn't seem to be running on display ":0" Launch it now | 15:51 |

| genii-around | ignerious: First it begs the question of what folder.... | 15:52 |
| wylde | ignerious: I told you already. What permissions and owner do you want for the directory | 15:52 |
| compdoc | sudo chown -R user:user folder | 15:52 |

| ActionParsnip | ubuntu-lover: tried: nouveau.blacklist=1 boot option? | 16:08 |
| ubuntu-lover | i chek some error..error was nvidia cant find any graphics,novea cant find any grapics, etc | 16:08 |
| ubuntu-lover | novue is not install in my system | 16:08 |
| ubuntu-lover | i install mini 26 mb linux and custmize | 16:08 |
| ubuntu-lover | it nessery that i install noveau for load my graphics | 16:09 |
| ubuntu-lover | my x server not starting...i guess there is no driver for load graphics | 16:09 |
| studio | compdoc: how can i do this? :P | 16:09 |
| ubuntu-lover | even dont have noveau | 16:09 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: why are you trying to make a custom build ? | 16:09 |
| bazhang | ubuntu-lover, thats very hard to read. please on a single LINE | 16:10 |
| ubuntu-lover | i dont want un nessry tool,.i want to add my own tool | 16:10 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: ok, well you know it's easier to run ubuntu and just remove what you don't want | 16:10 |
| compdoc | studio, best way is to boot the Ubuntu live cd, and use gparted to change | 16:10 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: that requires a lot less understanding than trying to build from the groun up | 16:10 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: have you considered going backwards, install ubuntu and remove what you don't need/want | 16:10 |
| ubuntu-lover | i want to add my own penetration testing tools | 16:11 |
| ikonia | oh dear | 16:11 |
| ubuntu-lover | i use remastersys tool for that | 16:11 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: have you considered backtrack-linux ? | 16:11 |
| studio | compdoc:thats what i thought but now its in unkown format will this solve the problem | 16:11 |
| wolverine | i was about to suggest that | 16:11 |
| studio | ? | 16:11 |
| ubuntu-lover | i know backtrac,backbox,slax | 16:11 |
| ubuntu-lover | all | 16:11 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: is there a reason you don't want to use backtrack ? | 16:11 |
| ubuntu-lover | now a new distro will come from injetor team | 16:11 |
| wolverine | cool | 16:11 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: is there a reason you don't want to use backtrack ? | 16:11 |
| bharath | wylde: how can I run the lamp now? | 16:12 |
| ubuntu-lover | yes..backtrack has alot tool..which is not used.and it size very big | 16:12 |
| studio | compdoc:okay iam gonna try this thanks | 16:12 |
| compdoc | studio, gparted should show it as a swap partition | 16:12 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: ok, so again, remove what you don't want | 16:12 |
| ubuntu-lover | i want os size small and only nessery tools | 16:12 |
| shaneo | hey guys im having issues installing ia32-libs can someone assist me? | 16:12 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: it's approx the same size as ubuntu, so install it and remove what you don't need | 16:12 |
| compdoc | studio, however, it seems to be working anyway | 16:12 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: again the level of expeirence required is less than building from the ground up | 16:12 |
| wylde | bharath: how do you mean "run" it? If you completed the installation it should be accessible at http://localhost | 16:12 |
| ubuntu-lover | i am RHCE | 16:12 |
| studio | compdoc:in gparted its in unkown format | 16:12 |
| IdleOne | shaneo: what is the rpoblem? | 16:13 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: so ? you'r enot using Red Hat | 16:13 |
| ubuntu-lover | IT HARD IT NOT MEAN THAT I SHOULD NOT TRY | 16:13 |
| mneptok | ubuntu-lover: so start with Fedora and work backwards. or CentOS. | 16:13 |
| compdoc | studio, on my system, it shows it as swap | 16:13 |
| ubuntu-lover | before i make my own build | 16:13 |
| ubuntu-lover | having problem with tht | 16:13 |
| ubuntu-lover | kindly can u told me solution? | 16:13 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: what do the xorg logs show you ? | 16:13 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: if you are an RHCE debugging an X problem should be quite easy | 16:13 |
| bharath | wylde: where can I store the php files? and how do I start and stop it? | 16:13 |
| shaneo | IdleOne, it wont let me install ia32-libs because dep ia32-libs-mulitarch isnt installed | 16:13 |
| IdleOne | shaneo: install the dep | 16:14 |
| mneptok | ubuntu-lover: Fedora and CentOS should be your starting point as a RHCE. | 16:14 |
| ubuntu-lover | it said nvdia does not load any graphics,novuea doesnot find any graphics | 16:14 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: ok, so what are the warnings and what are the critical errors ? | 16:14 |
| compdoc | studio, gparted says filesystem is linux-swap | 16:14 |
| ikonia | lets narrow it down | 16:14 |
| shaneo | IdleOne, I tried than it gave me more dep errors. I used fix broken in synaptic and it seems to be working so ill let you know how it goes | 16:14 |

| IdleOne | ActionParsnip: this is a minimal install with who knows what done to it. | 16:16 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: there will be warnings and critical errors - this is basic stuff for an RHCE, please provide the info | 16:16 |

| ubuntu-lover | it nessery to have some graphics drive in s ,like noveau | 16:17 |
| shaneo | IdleOne, so im assuming all the amd64 pkgs are in good shape as its not d/l any amd64 pkgs | 16:17 |
| ubuntu-lover | ok wait i will get all error and will show u | 16:18 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: I'm sorry, but I'd suggest you stop doing this as you don't appear to have the basic understanding, use backtrack and then remove what you don't want | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | gitesh: ctrl+c will do it | 16:18 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-lover: it's fine - I'm backing away from this now | 16:18 |

| gitesh | great :) . Thanks ActionParsnip | 16:18 |

| ubuntu-lover | that what i did action | 16:20 |
| ubuntu-lover | i install minimal | 16:20 |
| shaneo | IdleOne, i installed from synaptic | 16:20 |
| IdleOne | shaneo: installed what from synaptic? | 16:21 |
| wylde | ubuntu-lover: perhaps you should look at blackbuntu | 16:21 |
| shaneo | IdleOne, ia32libs | 16:21 |
| ubuntu-lover | comon..is that your answer? | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu-lover: then install nvidia-current in CLI and you'll get the nvidia driver | 16:21 |
| ubuntu-lover | i came here for solve problem but u said use that | 16:21 |
| shaneo | IdleOne, right now synaptic is hanging in the changes window at there error i pasted | 16:22 |
| shaneo | IdleOne, i dont want to close it for fear that it will break something | 16:22 |
| IdleOne | shaneo: I don't believe I can help. As I recall from earlier I warned yuo about installing packages from different versions. | 16:22 |
| IdleOne | shaneo: This is exactly what happens, you end up in a dependency hell loop | 16:23 |
| IdleOne | shaneo: My best suggestion would be to do a clean install so you can be sure that everything is back to default install. Others may have different ideas. | 16:24 |
| shaneo | IdleOne, i cant afford to lose all my data so i guess ill just stick with a broken insatall | 16:24 |
| shaneo | *install | 16:24 |

| wylde | shaneo: make backups? | 16:25 |

| ikonia | shaneo: did you install 12.10 packages on a 12.04 system | 16:25 |
| shaneo | ikonia, nope | 16:25 |
| wylde | bharath: glad to help :) | 16:25 |
| shaneo | ikonia, atleast i dont think so | 16:25 |
| ikonia | shaneo: no, you have no 12.10 packages or repos on your 12.04 system ? | 16:25 |
| shaneo | ikonia, not that i know of | 16:25 |
| IdleOne | shaneo: broken installs lead to total data loss. You can do a clean install without formatting /home. when you get to the partitioning part of the install click on advanced and make sure to uncheck the box that says format /home. | 16:26 |
| ikonia | shaneo: do you have any PPAs ? | 16:26 |
| shaneo | ikonia, yes i have ppas for some apps like pithos vlc and webupd8 | 16:26 |
| ikonia | shaneo: ok, there we go | 16:26 |
| ikonia | shaneo: some of those PPA's will create dependency problems | 16:26 |
| ikonia | shaneo: you cxan "try" ppa-purge, but that will attempt to remove all references to ppa's and it's software, people say this works, I have a negative view on it, but it maybe worth trying | 16:27 |
| === lenshark is now known as pneftali | ||

| ikonia | shaneo: ok, is /home a seperate partition ? | 16:28 |
| shaneo | ikonia, no | 16:28 |
| ikonia | shaneo: how big is the data in need to keep ? | 16:28 |
| IdleOne | even if it is not on a separate partition the installer can preserve /home. | 16:28 |
| shaneo | ikonia, 175.6 GB | 16:28 |
| IdleOne | you just need to make sure you uncheck the proper box in the Advanced setup | 16:29 |
| ikonia | shaneo: right, ok, so before doing anything else, get a storage solution to back that data up | 16:29 |
| ikonia | shaneo: do nothing more on that machine until you have backed up that data | 16:29 |
| shaneo | IdleOne, ok thats all i need i guess as long as i dont lose anything in my home drive | 16:29 |
| wylde | shaneo: rule 1. Make backups rule 2. Make backups of your backups somewhere else. Rule 3. Make more backups. | 16:29 |

| dougb | i am trying to create a folder that anyone in the www-data group can write to, when i create the folder it shows 'doug doug' which i assume means only i can write to it, when i want it to be 'doug www-data' | 16:30 |
| mjwillz4 | it's kind of the cardinal rule for blizzard game security, you think you need an authenticator? then you need an authenticator. | 16:30 |
| ikonia | shaneo: whatever method you are comfortable with, but back it up to somewhere on a seperate disk than the one it is on now | 16:30 |
| dougb | is there anyway to make that happen? | 16:30 |
| shaneo | ikonia, yeah i have an ext-hdd that should work | 16:30 |
| ikonia | shaneo: perfect, that will remove and risks/concerns you have on the data loss | 16:30 |
| shaneo | ikonia, what folder holds all my app data so that i can restore it after re-install | 16:31 |
| ikonia | shaneo: that is a mixture of places, depends on the application | 16:31 |
| wylde | dougb: 'chown doug:www-data /path/to/directory' then 'chmod 0770 /path/to/directory' or 0775 if you want it world readable. | 16:32 |

| ubuntu-lover | Finally i solve my problem | 16:36 |
| dougb | wylde: i wrote a file with my user, and it says 'doug doug' for the user/group settings when i do ls -l, and then when another user tries to open it, nano says 'Warning: No write permission' | 16:36 |
| wylde | dougb: ahh I see, then I suppose you will need to add them to the www-data group | 16:37 |
| shaneo | ikonia, IdleOne thank you both for all your help. IdleOne you said when re-installing just go to advanced partitioning options and deselect home and all the stuff should still be there? but will it also carry over any errors? | 16:37 |
| jakeriver | bekks: i'm trying to log in normally as a user but all i get is the same screen over and over again. logging in as root is possible. i've been googling around and the problem should be with .Xauthority file. i've tried removing it and changing permissions but it just keeps coming back. | 16:37 |
| dougb | wylde: they are, when i run group 'username' it shows they are both in the www-data group | 16:37 |
| dougb | do i need to reboot the computer before the changes stick? | 16:37 |
| wylde | dougb: you shouldn't no | 16:38 |
| IdleOne | shaneo: it will carry over any mis-configurations if you have made any. but it shouldn't be a problem | 16:38 |
| wylde | dougb: hmmm moment. | 16:38 |
| shaneo | IdleOne, ok thanks | 16:38 |
| dougb | ok thanks wylde | 16:38 |
| shaneo | IdleOne, ikonia would it be faster to install from cd or usb? | 16:39 |
| wylde | dougb: I suppose then, maybe www-data should own the directory. Then all users that need to write would be in the www-data group. | 16:40 |
| IdleOne | takes about the same amount of time, usually 30-45 minutes | 16:40 |
| MonkeyDust | shaneo usb is faster | 16:40 |
| shaneo | MonkeyDust, ok thanks | 16:40 |
| wylde | dougb: 'chown www-data:www-data /path/to/directory' perhaps. | 16:40 |
| wylde | dougb: sorry but I have to run for a bit. I hope that solves your issue. If not there's some very knowledgable people in here that can help I'm sure. :) | 16:41 |
| dougb | ok thanks wylde, it took over permission of the directory and files, but when i write anything new, it doesn't stick | 16:42 |

| Pici | !pt | julio | 16:54 |
| ubottu | julio: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 16:54 |
| bekks | hellslinger: Is what a possible intrusion attempt? | 16:55 |
| hellslinger | the apache2 executable is starting at boot, I believe it was installed as part of the cacti package | 16:55 |
| hellslinger | I removed apache with apt, but the executable is still there and it is starting at boot | 16:56 |
| Pici | hellslinger: run dpkg -S /path/to/executable , and it will tell you what package it was from. | 16:56 |
| bekks | hellslinger: Then locate it, and check which package provides it (e.g. by using packages.ubuntu.com) | 16:56 |
| bekks | Or that dpkg attempt :) | 16:56 |
| hellslinger | Pici: good idea, I'll try that | 16:56 |
| mjwillz4 | When running dual screens, is there a way to make the mouse seem less "sticky" when going from screen to screen? | 16:57 |
| imbezol | hellslinger: do a "ps fauxww", find the parant apache process, then ls -l /proc/<pid>/exe | 16:57 |
| imbezol | hellslinger: then run the above dpkg command on that file | 16:57 |
| nannes | Pleeease help me | 16:59 |
| hellslinger | bekks, Pici, imbezol: so it was part of apache2-mpm-prefork which didn't appear to conflict with the 'vanilla' apache2 package... | 17:00 |
| Pici | hellslinger: its a dependency of the apache2 package. | 17:00 |
| imbezol | nannes: assuming you're in the directory with "foo", what's "df ." show? | 17:00 |
| bekks | hellslinger: Because you need a worker for the apache :) | 17:00 |
| itaws | what is backtrack-linux ? | 17:00 |
| hellslinger | NetworkManager was pegging 1 CPU at 100% while it was running, which is how I became suspicious of apache2 to begin with | 17:00 |
| imbezol | hellslinger: i've seen that before.. networkmanager is just buggy | 17:01 |
| nannes | imbezol: obviously 0% available | 17:01 |
| nannes | But I'm removing a file!! | 17:01 |
| imbezol | nannes: that is odd. did you try with sudo? | 17:01 |
| bekks | nannes: Which filesystem? | 17:01 |
| nannes | imbezol: of course yes | 17:02 |
| nannes | bekks: It's a Kubuntu installation on a usb drive... The "Startup disk creator" did everything | 17:02 |
| nannes | even the formatting | 17:02 |
| imbezol | nannes: you could try running strace on it to see what it's trying to write | 17:02 |
| bekks | nannes: Which filesystem type? | 17:02 |
| nannes | so... I *think* it's vfat but not sure | 17:02 |
| imbezol | nannes: df -T will tell you | 17:03 |
| hellslinger | so apache2-mpm-prefork says it is a different flavor of apache, a non-threaded model. Another reason I became suspicious was that as soon as this particular apache executable was killed, the performance of smbd went back to normal (it had previously been very slow on a gigabit LAN) | 17:03 |
| nannes | overlayfs | 17:04 |
| imbezol | nannes: ah. that would explain it | 17:04 |
| nannes | ... | 17:04 |
| imbezol | nannes: when you make changes to an overlayfs i believe it's writing a changelog somewhere | 17:04 |
| imbezol | nannes: and it doesn't have room to do that in your case | 17:04 |
| nannes | :/ | 17:05 |
| nannes | can I disable che changelog function, | 17:05 |
| nannes | or at least, remove older lines of the log | 17:05 |
| nannes | ? | 17:05 |
| imbezol | no. instead of deleting foo, it's writing a "don't show foo cuz it's not there anymore" file | 17:05 |
| imbezol | overlayfs is just the differences from the actual filesystem it's laying on top of | 17:06 |
| imbezol | it allows you to replace stuff, delete stuff, etc from a read only filesystem | 17:06 |
| imbezol | but you're really only making changes to the overlayfs database, not the actual filesystem | 17:06 |
| nannes | aaaaa | 17:06 |
| imbezol | so basically you don't have room to write info about any more changes in your overlayfs db | 17:07 |
| nannes | ufff.. ok, got it | 17:07 |
| hellslinger | Pici, imbezol, bekks: thanks for the help, I suppose there is a way to setup networking without network manager to avoid the possible pegging and performance hit for other processes' network access? | 17:07 |
| imbezol | hellslinger: is it a server? | 17:08 |
| hellslinger | yes | 17:08 |
| imbezol | hellslinger: if it is, i definitely wouldn't use networkmanager | 17:08 |
| imbezol | hellslinger: networkmanager is more for desktop environment | 17:08 |
| jonathon | I'm trying to start the JACK Server, But I keep getting this error, Any ideas? http://pastebin.com/Bk9zX2TW | 17:10 |
| hellslinger | imbezol: well I'm convinced, I'll find out how to keep DHCP running while removing network manager | 17:11 |
| hellslinger | imbezol: thanks | 17:11 |
| imbezol | hellslinger: you should figure out how to statically assign the IP too | 17:12 |

| jthan | derbie: So I want you to type the command "sudo mkdir /mnt/windows" which is just going to make a folder named "windows" in the "/mnt" directory. | 17:58 |
| derbie | done\ | 18:00 |
| jthan | derbie: even better if your windows drive appears under the "places" Menu - you can just click it | 18:00 |

| derbie | as ls only listed bin and root folders | 18:02 |
| jthan | derbie: Ah. Yes. check the link I gave you. It's much more detailed. | 18:02 |
| derbie | Oki doki | 18:02 |
| anthology | using chntpw ? you must use live cd to access the windows file system? | 18:02 |
| jthan | derbie: let me know if it still gives you an issue, though I do have to head out in about 10 minutes :-/ | 18:02 |
| derbie | anthology: what do you mean use live cd to access the windows file system | 18:03 |
| MonkeyDust | anthology if all goes well, the windows (ntfs) partitions appear in nautilus | 18:04 |

| derbie | how do i do "cd PC COE" because it has a space between PC and COE | 18:06 |
| jthan | derbie: Just start typing.. "ls PC" and hit tab. It will finish it off for you ;-) | 18:06 |

| Nosophorus | hi, what would happen if i keep Ubuntu 10.04 LTS even after its support has already expired? | 18:10 |
| trijntje | Nosophorus: mostly no security updates | 18:11 |
| L3top | tanuki: vlc 2.02 claims support of HiDPI | 18:11 |
| kyle__ | Nosophorus: Not much really. As long as you update your sources.list, it will keep working, just not get updates. | 18:11 |
| savid | kyle__, oops, sorry. I think I cleared my buffer accidentally and didn't see my previous post so I thought I didn't enter it. | 18:11 |
| kyle__ | Nosophorus: YOu'll still want to change the sources.list incase you need to install packages. | 18:11 |
| kyle__ | savid: NP. | 18:11 |
| Nosophorus | trijntje: would that be dangerous to keep ubuntu without those updates? | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | anthology: its in the repos, so is supported :) | 18:12 |
| tanuki | L3top: I'm looking specifically for a way to scale the GUI up to a legible size. | 18:12 |
| anthology | derbie: ActionParsnip : http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/resetwindowspassword/ | 18:12 |
| Nosophorus | kyle__: but, what about compatibility issues between versions? | 18:12 |
| trijntje | Nosophorus: hard to say, but running out of date software is never good. Attacks can be automated to look for out of date software | 18:13 |
| kyle__ | Nosophorus: What about them? If you keep on using 10.04 or whichever, it will just keep on working. As long as you know what you're doing, it's fine. | 18:13 |
| derbie | anthology: i think ive sucessfuly cleared the passwords | 18:13 |
| Nosophorus | trijntje: huh, i got it | 18:13 |
| derbie | anthology: the thing is the usernames had weird names such as | 18:13 |
| derbie | hpadmin and hpguest | 18:13 |
| derbie | HP probably because its a hp laptop | 18:13 |
| derbie | But when login on windows, the username is completely different | 18:14 |

| devslash | If I modify my htaccess for my site do I need to restart Apaches service? | 18:14 |
| Nosophorus | kyle__: for example, ubuntu 10.04 doesn't use Unity, while the newer versions uses it. could that be a source of problems? | 18:15 |
| devslash | Anyone know? | 18:15 |
| foxytheoldone | savid did u get my msg on font settings in chrome | 18:15 |
| kyle__ | Nosophorus: What on earth are you talking about? 10.04 doesn't have unity, doesn't use unity, no way to put unity on it, so there are no issues with it. | 18:16 |
| kyle__ | Nosophorus: If you use 10.x you'll have older packages, but it will work. END OF STORY. | 18:16 |
| savid | foxytheoldone, ah, thanks. sorry, missed your DM. | 18:16 |
| savid | (I see it now) | 18:16 |
| MonkeyDust | Nosophorus start from the beginning, what do you want to achieve, what have you done and tried before you came here | 18:16 |
| Nosophorus | kyle__: but, wouldn't the update of the source.list list Unity as an availabe software on the repos? | 18:16 |
| foxytheoldone | check it out solution is in there i'm sure | 18:16 |

| gitesh | ActionParsnip: I have grabbed the bin file of Adobe Reader. Can you tell me please, what commands let install it? | 18:17 |
| anthology | when you run the app you have to click refresh! | 18:17 |
| kyle__ | Nosophorus: The locations of packages for 10.04 have changed, that's why you have to update sources.list. After you do that, it will be pointing to the same old packages. No changes, no compatability issues, same old packages, new address. | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | gitesh: mark it as executable and run it in terminal with sudo | 18:17 |
| Nosophorus | kyle__: oh, thank you! now i understand. | 18:18 |

| pbjarting | Hi,Why does not Spotify install completely if using Play On Linux or directly from Wine ? What is the trick ? | 18:23 |
| kyle__ | pbjarting: I'll go out on a limb and say, because it's wine, and wine does strange things, and check on the winehq page, and in #wine. | 18:24 |
| xangua | pbjarting: or you could use the native app that spotipy provides | 18:24 |

| biopyte | ok, thanks | 19:04 |
| Ceannfaolaidh | You can use SuseStudio to build a fairly customizable distro | 19:04 |
| kyle__ | V3NG3NC345: LFS (linux from scratch). I beleive it comes with a few utilities to do this: vim, man, make and gcc. | 19:04 |

| kyle__ | V3NG3NC345: Look, if you really want to do this, first understand that you can pass any binary to the kernel, and that's what the kernel will run. Startoff making a system that only has a kernel, and a statically linked bash (probalby in a VM). Build up from there. | 19:05 |
| IdleOne | V3NG3NC345: this isn't really an Ubuntu issue though so you should probably try ##linux | 19:06 |

| mdelcx | commodoreC16: grub IS a graphical menu selection program... | 19:16 |
| IdleOne | !text | 19:16 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 19:16 |

| trijntje | where can I find all icons available on my system (for use in starters in the launcher) | 19:28 |
| kboodu | trijntje: many are in /usr/share/icons/..... (but some applications store them in other places) | 19:30 |
| Mandy849 | what is /home/.ecryptfs, why is it so big (23GB out of 30 GB of system space available) and how to reduce its size, if possible ? | 19:31 |
| trijntje | Mandy849: that is the encrypted file that holds your entire personal folder | 19:32 |
| trijntje | kboodu: thanks! | 19:32 |
| Mandy849 | trijntje: why is it not in my personal folder then, shouldn't it be 'personal' ? | 19:32 |
| === Guest26409 is now known as sa`tan | ||
| trijntje | Mandy849: your personal folder is actually an illusion, created to make it easy for you to work with encrypted files. Every time you change a file the change is actually stored in the encrypted file | 19:33 |
| trijntje | all on the background ofcourse, so you never notice | 19:33 |
| trijntje | the way to make the file smaller is to remove files from your personal folder, or compress them | 19:34 |
| Mandy849 | but my personal folder is not nearly that big, unless I'm very mistaken | 19:35 |

| trijntje | Mandy849: maybe you trash? You can use the program baobab to see where you use most space | 19:35 |
| trijntje | !root | Tyr2007 | 19:35 |
| ubottu | Tyr2007: 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 | 19:35 |
| mdelcx | yeah its probably in ~/.trashes | 19:35 |
| Tyr2007 | ty | 19:36 |
| mdelcx | there is no root.... unless you need there to be :) | 19:36 |
| Mandy849 | trijntje: thanks for thinking about that, I had forgotten to check it. I checked now though, and it's not that. | 19:36 |
| Mandy849 | trijntje: the trash is empty | 19:36 |
| mdelcx | no root password that is | 19:36 |
| Tyr2007 | i will look...i have no clue what i am doing... | 19:36 |

| Mandy849 | trijntje: it's weird it must be really small things that add up, I've just checked with baobab, nothing exceeds 2GB | 19:41 |
| Mandy849 | trijntje: well first of all the thing I don't understand is why is .ecryptfs 25 GB and /home/user 25 GB. Shouldn't it be just 25 GB total, rather than twice as large ? | 19:41 |
| pcarp_io_ | hello | 19:41 |
| habib | Hi | 19:41 |
| epinky | is there any video streaming server for Ubuntu? | 19:42 |
| trijntje | Mandy849: it really is just 25G, /home/user is a fake folder. Every time you need something from there it is decrypted in the background | 19:42 |
| Benxyzzy | In /var/log/auth.log I'm getting lots of 'pam_get_item returned a password'. I have ssh open to the outside world and samba running (but not open to the world). Do I need to be concerned about htis? | 19:43 |
| Mandy849 | trijntje: are you sure it's not copied ? because baobab and 'du' say /home totals to 50 GB, with 25 GB each, one for /home/user, the other for /home/.ecryptfs | 19:43 |
| Asad2005 | i am getting this error sometimes " Sorry, ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error", what log should contain the error ? | 19:43 |
| trijntje | Mandy849: yeah, but du also looks at the fake folder. If you run 'df -h' (free space on disk), you will see you only use 25 for home | 19:44 |

| Laika | Well, I've been a user of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS since April now, and it's been a very pleasant experience. I'm a big fan of electronic music, and I tend to have my tracks playing in the background while I do things on my laptop, either in YouTube or in Clementine, my default music player. All has worked very well until now. A couple of days ago my entire PC started to lag really badly. Almost everything was unusable. I opened up | 19:50 |
| Laika | System Monitor via the terminal to find a process called "pulseaudio" using nearly 1GB of RAM and over 80% of my CPU. I needed to get some important work done and so I killed the process without thinking. Once again today, pulseaudio decided to lag the hell out of my PC, and so I killed it again. Nothing seemed to happen immediately, but once I opened up YouTube all the audio on videos stuttered a lot, while the videos pla | 19:50 |
| Laika | yed smoothly. I restarted Firefox to find that the audio was now not working at all, with both headphones and speakers, and the volume up quite a bit (it's not muted, I've checked that!). A little bit of research later and I've discovered that pulseaudio plays an important part in Ubuntu's audio. Even after restarting my PC the audio still ceases to work in any applications or with any output. The pulseaudio process refuses | 19:50 |
| genii-around | P-Chan: Maybe just put the xrandr commands into your /home/username/.xsession , with a & after each command | 19:50 |
| FloodBot1 | Laika: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:50 |
| Cottus | read in man mount about -o remount,ro | 19:50 |
| Laika | to start up again. So, can you help me out here? What can I do to fix my problem, and why was pulseaudio doing this in the first place? | 19:50 |
| DJones | Cottus: Even jokingly, its not a good idea to suggest that, less experienced users may try it and damage their installation | 19:50 |

| mu3en | is it possible to force install of grub pc instead of grub efi with ubuntu sever 1204? | 20:33 |
| gartral | live_: rhythembox should be able too see it | 20:33 |
| live_ | gartral ill try it thanks | 20:34 |
| Cottus | no grub-setup does not work | 20:34 |
| trism | tootie: just installing openssh-server should result in a system that always starts sshd on boot | 20:34 |
| live_ | gartral but how will it see it if the OS live cd doesnt | 20:34 |
| gartral | live_: because iPods are MTP devices, and MTP can't be mounted as a drive, like a flash drive | 20:35 |
| tootie | trism, ty. ubuntu is so broekn, how can you distro linux without sshd installed??? | 20:36 |
| live_ | gartral rhythumbox doesnt see it either | 20:36 |
| gartral | live_: hang on a sec | 20:36 |

| D-Chymera | hi guys - do you know of any good app or program for gnome which helps me see how my stocks are evolving? I'm looking for some sort of program that will display all my stocks in real time - I could do this with my web browser and multiple tabs, but I'd rather have all the time courses next to one another... any ideas? :-s | 20:38 |

| derbie | is there utorrent client for ubuntu? | 20:46 |
| derbie | on utorrent website i can only find utorrent server for linux (??????) | 20:47 |
| xangua | derbie: yes, that is | 20:47 |
| derbie | Oh | 20:47 |
| Cottus | jaha, this is not the answer but next time you can use "screen" as a terminal session, it has restore property ;) | 20:47 |
| derbie | why is it named server then | 20:47 |
| Tm_T | jaha: I believe do-release-upgrade do create screen session for itself, so "sudo screen -rd" perhaps | 20:47 |
| jaha | Tm_T: just figured it out, i wasnt running screen as sudo | 20:48 |
| Tm_T | righto | 20:48 |
| gmcinnes | Cottus: I see it. I see when it went down, and I see a bunch of things seeming to stop normally ( i.e. a bunch of tty killed by TERM signal). Before that there's just some output from postfix. Nothing interesting. | 20:48 |
| gmcinnes | Cottus: https://gist.github.com/3062649 | 20:48 |

| BlueWolf | Hi, can someone tell me how I can set my computer to Hibernate like it shuts down with this ( sudo shutdown -h 04:30 )? | 20:50 |
| ccherrett | I am installing ubuntu for the first time (coming from gentoo). The CD boots up and my keyboard and mouse are no longer working. I have tried 3 different usb combos of mice and keyboard | 20:51 |
| Cottus | agike, /boot/ needs to be filled with linux-image System-map and initrd i think | 20:51 |
| ccherrett | the keyboard works with the option to install or try ubuntu shows on the screen | 20:51 |
| Cottus | no , i 'm sure | 20:51 |
| ccherrett | at which point both mouse and keyboard are gone | 20:51 |
| ccherrett | any hints? | 20:52 |
| Cottus | there might be ( alternative.iso ) curses install | 20:53 |
| agike | ccherrett, Cottus: reinstall iso from WattOS CD ? | 20:53 |

| Cottus | i trust grub-mkconfig , it searches for images and initrd in /boot/ and automatically adds an entry for them | 21:04 |
| ccherrett | so 12.04 does not detect any of my mice or keyboards, so is that the end of the road? | 21:04 |

Unchanging in its beauty and truth. The lives of men playing out on a stage of immense proportion, overshaddowed protests of concieted guile echoing out toward the blackness of silent | 21:08 |

| BlueWolf | OerHeks: Suggestions because If I play around with it by pluging and unpluging it eventually mounts on the desktop? | 21:32 |
| trism | benxzyzzy: wasn't, but you can use alt+sysrq+k to kill all apps on the current console (which will restart x but you may lose any unsaved data), there is also the reisub sysrq combo that allows you to safely reboot the system in certain circumstances | 21:33 |

| Cottus | ccherrett, you can try debian | 22:00 |

| ccherrett | Cottus: no I wanted to help out ubuntu users | 22:01 |
| ccherrett | Cottus: specifically ubuntu | 22:01 |
| mneptok | ccherrett: then check Launchpad for know bugs. | 22:01 |
| Cottus | hmm | 22:01 |
| ccherrett | so I thought I would install one production machine with ubuntu | 22:01 |
| cornfeed | ccherrett: i have had less problems with gentoo that with all other distros | 22:01 |
| cornfeed | than* | 22:01 |
| ccherrett | Cottus: I usually build a custom gentoo install | 22:01 |
| Cottus | THE KING | 22:01 |
| mneptok | ccherrett: you could always see what happens in a Virtualbox Ubuntu VM under Gentoo | 22:02 |
| Cottus | :D | 22:02 |
| ccherrett | cornfeed: gentoo has issues, but I can debug it easy enough | 22:02 |
| wo33lock | ok | 22:02 |
| Cottus | heh | 22:02 |
| ccherrett | mneptok: it installs in a vm fine for me | 22:02 |
| ccherrett | mneptok: I have a running vm here right now | 22:02 |
| ccherrett | no issues | 22:02 |
| cornfeed | ccherrett: all distros have troubles, but like you said, gentoo is easy to get to the root of the issue | 22:03 |
| cornfeed | and by nature you are more in-tune with your system because you had to custom make it | 22:03 |
| mneptok | ccherrett: then please do check Launchpad. and the VM should be able to offer all you need for a dev/build environment | 22:03 |
| ccherrett | cornfeed: I feel like I am falling behind on the times with genoo, I do not know the ubuntu language | 22:03 |
| cornfeed | same | 22:03 |
| ccherrett | cornfeed: I am a dino :) | 22:03 |
| mneptok | this is a support channel. let's keep it to questions and answers. | 22:04 |

| zeroziat | This pops up | 22:06 |
| zeroziat | E: Couldn't configure pre-depend multiarch-support for libnih-dbus1, probably a dependency cycle. | 22:06 |
| cornfeed | okay so i am installing 10.4 server (no i cant use 12 in this situation) and after running apt-get upgrade i get a message saying it has held back from installing linux-headers-server, linux-image-server and linux-server. i think those are the new kernels, right? so how come it didnt want to install them?? | 22:06 |
| zeroziat | Hello? | 22:06 |
| cornfeed | zeroziat: how are you trying to re-install grub? | 22:07 |
| mneptok | cornfeed: "upgrade" will only upgrade the uname in place. what you want is dist-upgrade. | 22:08 |
| zeroziat | cornfeed: I'm on Boot-repair-disc LiveCD right now, and since my windows XP bootup didn't work at all I tried to tell it to purge and reinstall GRUB | 22:08 |
| wylde | cornfeed: mneptok beat me to it. | 22:08 |
| zeroziat | It could purge it, but when I try to install it that pops up | 22:08 |
| === hg is now known as Guest94537 | ||
| cornfeed | zeroziat: you have to do a repair install using a windows cd to repair the windows boot | 22:08 |
| cornfeed | zeroziat: then use a linux disk to re-install the mutilboot | 22:09 |
| zeroziat | cornfeed: It won't detect the windows installation | 22:09 |
| cornfeed | what wont? a windows cd or the live cd you are using now? | 22:09 |
| zeroziat | Windows CD | 22:09 |
| zeroziat | Skips straight to installation | 22:09 |
| cornfeed | :-/ | 22:09 |
| cornfeed | thats a tough one | 22:09 |
| zeroziat | I tried going to the recovery console and using 'bootcfg' and 'chkdsk' and all | 22:09 |
| zeroziat | I knoww | 22:09 |
| zeroziat | I've been aching over this for... 4 days now | 22:10 |
| cornfeed | -_- | 22:10 |
| cornfeed | no good | 22:10 |
| zeroziat | And now I can't get GRUB back on so I keep making it worse | 22:10 |
| mneptok | zeroziat: you might want to ask in ##windows | 22:10 |
| cornfeed | and #grub | 22:11 |
| wylde | zeroziat: do you have all your important data backed up? Personally I'd start there before further mucking about. :) | 22:11 |

| cornfeed | mneptok: i believe dist-upgrade will bring me to 12 though, no? | 22:12 |
| mneptok | cornfeed: no. | 22:12 |
| tgm4883 | mneptok, right, but that just reverts the revision locally. How do I push that to the shared branch then? | 22:12 |
| cornfeed | ok | 22:13 |
| zeroziat | mneptok: I would but I need to get GRUB back too so I've no idea pretty much | 22:13 |

| SadlyMistaken | hello everybody, I have a hp psc 1210 scanner/printer. Sometimes i scan with moiré and sometimes not, I would love to know 'why' please | 22:13 |
| mneptok | tgm4883: a revert should make your working tree contain the reverted change. so puch the working tree. | 22:13 |
| wylde | zeroziat: nice to finally hear that someone has a backup before mucking with system critical type stuffs :) +1 to you | 22:13 |
| mneptok | *push | 22:13 |
| cornfeed | altruism: depends on many factors | 22:13 |
| PuffTMD | Hey all | 22:13 |
| mneptok | tgm4883: but i am not bzr expert. there is #bzr for those people. | 22:13 |
| zeroziat | wylde: Yeah, this all started because of some virus I had in Windows... | 22:13 |
| cornfeed | altruism: 10-30mBps | 22:14 |
| PuffTMD | wondering if anyone can help with an issue I'm having with boot loader | 22:14 |
| altruism | cornfeed: is it possible 2 get as fast as it read? | 22:14 |
| zeroziat | wlyde: I'm just done breaking my Ubuntu so... yeah, I guess backups are a first in my case | 22:14 |
| tgm4883 | mneptok, actually, bzr revert just reverts any uncommited changes you've made. bzr uncommit removes the last commit, but then your technically 1 revision behind the shared tree | 22:14 |
| cornfeed | altruism: i think you can push it with a raid0 but not completely | 22:14 |
| tgm4883 | I'll ask in #bzr, thanks | 22:14 |
| altruism | cornfeed: I have 80-85 MB/s on read | 22:15 |
| wylde | zeroziat: sorry to hear that. Sadly, I have nothing to offer other than the suggestions made already. By the sound of matters though, I'd be preparing for the worst. A complete re-install of both. | 22:15 |
| cornfeed | hell ya | 22:15 |
| altruism | cornfeed: no RAID here | 22:15 |
| cornfeed | altruism: through nfs or local? | 22:15 |
| SadlyMistaken | wylde of both? | 22:15 |
| SadlyMistaken | wylde of both? | 22:15 |
| cornfeed | altruism: i know nfs is faster, but since i work with offices, i use smb | 22:15 |
| SadlyMistaken | hello everybody, I have a hp psc 1210 scanner/printer. Sometimes i scan with moiré and sometimes not, I would love to know 'why' please | 22:15 |
| wylde | ok of windows... then repair grub. | 22:15 |
| cornfeed | cifs* | 22:15 |
| zeroziat | It may just be my thing... | 22:15 |
| PuffTMD | I've installed ubuntu via a bootable USB & advised it not working. | 22:15 |
| altruism | cornfeed: NFS on my home network | 22:16 |
| altruism | cornfeed: no Microsoft in my home :) | 22:16 |
| cogster | I see hex boxes :@ | 22:16 |
| zeroziat | Repairing is too hard | 22:16 |
| PuffTMD | found article on ask ubuntu on possible repair which I've done but it advises created boot section at start of disk then re-running boot-repair | 22:16 |
| altruism | cornfeed: and as you said, NFS is faste | 22:16 |
| cogster | WHY!? | 22:16 |
| cornfeed | altruism: lucky you | 22:16 |
| zeroziat | I'll just go break everything again and redo it | 22:16 |
| altruism | cornfeed: fasteR | 22:17 |
| cornfeed | zeroziat: thats the spirit! | 22:17 |
| altruism | cornfeed: for the moment, when I write to the disk, I get 50% of the read speed | 22:18 |
| cornfeed | unfortunately i dont know enough about nfs, but in general, the things that speed up writes are raids, and the filesystem you choose | 22:18 |
| altruism | cornfeed: maybe I should not expect more than that, I do not know | 22:19 |
| cornfeed | i was going to to say that :-P | 22:19 |
| cogster | Less mystically, how do I get my XChat client to use characters for the unicode I don't see as a character? :> | 22:19 |
| cornfeed | altruism: you can get faster writes, but you would certainly be pushing it. especially since you are not dealing with the quarks of windows | 22:19 |
| altruism | cornfeed: how is ext4? | 22:20 |
| zeroziat | If I run apt-get install grub-pc within a liveCD will the changes save to my hard disk or to the liveCD session? | 22:20 |
| cornfeed | altruism: good quesiton, i read about errors way back and havent played with it | 22:20 |
| zeroziat | Ah, gotta chroot | 22:21 |
| cornfeed | i use jfs at home and it is pretty fast. i can push 100MBs through a gigabit switch from a windows workstation to my raid 5 with a few tweaks to windows | 22:21 |
| altruism | cornfeed: I see | 22:21 |
| cornfeed | 100MBp/s | 22:21 |
| === Shadowcat is now known as Sh4dowcat | ||
| === Sh4dowcat is now known as Shadowcat | ||
| altruism | cornfeed: with RAID it is no match :-) | 22:22 |
| cornfeed | but i choose jfs because i store large files....if you arent as much of a pirate, xfs might be worth looking at too. but from what I have read, etx3 is truely the all-around best performer | 22:22 |
| altruism | cornfeed: I have never felt brave enough to try anything else than EXT | 22:23 |
| altruism | cornfeed: if I use jfs instead of ext4, would I notice it? (I do have a lot of large files) | 22:24 |
| cornfeed | i noticed when i came to whole seasons and movies | 22:25 |
| cogster | What do you people like from people seeking assistance with Ubuntu? I want to mesh <3 | 22:25 |
| cornfeed | altruism: but i will say, its not bad, but small files are noticeably slower than they could be. both reads and writes | 22:26 |
| altruism | cornfeed: but if I get you right, 40 MB/s on network write is good concidering I am not running raid? | 22:26 |
| cornfeed | i would say so | 22:26 |
| cornfeed | i am at an office right now where we use small dlink storage devices running samba. and I can only get ~11mBps | 22:27 |
| altruism | cornfeed: okey, then I can stop trying to tweek it some more :-D | 22:27 |
| cornfeed | and internal sata copy speeds on a windows workstation are closer to ~40mBps, so i would say you are doing good | 22:27 |

For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 23:30 |
| bulletmark | canfaller: I thought I'd be alone saying I like Unity ;) | 23:30 |
| angelo_ | I also like it! :D | 23:31 |
| Mrokii | compdoc: I'm using nVidia drivers so that may be one reason for the unstable system, not sure though. | 23:31 |
| Mrokii | I like Gnome Shell even less than Unity. | 23:31 |
| compdoc | Mrokii, possibly. I try to use only ubuntu's drivers, but sometimes I do install AMD's drivers | 23:31 |
| angelo_ | What's the topic you're talking about about? | 23:32 |
| IPfreely | < Gnome cube very cool | 23:32 |
| jmad980 | Mrokii: did you like gnome2? | 23:33 |
| bulletmark | Mrokii: If you are using nvidia driver then perhaps bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/973096 is your problem. Ubuntu 12.04 is unusable with nvidia for me due to this bug. | 23:33 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 973096 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) "Nvidia driver causes xorg crash" [High,Triaged] | 23:33 |
| angelo_ | quit | 23:33 |
| jagginess | lol.. angelo missed his / key | 23:33 |
| IPfreely | yo ops looking for a chan that will be able to help with portsentry script in 12.04 | 23:34 |
| Mrokii | bulletmark: I experienced this bug only very rarely on 12.04, but that may be because I updated the driver meanwhile. I'm at version 302.x I think. | 23:35 |
| bulletmark | Mrokki: All nvidia versions from 295.33 to current 302.17 abort for me with a segmentation fault, as described in that bug. | 23:36 |
| faryshta | How do I manage volume on XFCE? | 23:36 |
| Toph2 | farchanjo,,, i installed alsamixer | 23:37 |
| Toph2 | faryshta,,, | 23:37 |
| jagginess | faryshta, audio volume? (not disk volume/partitions?) | 23:38 |
| jagginess | faryshta, there ought to be something with synaptic or ubuntusoftwarecenter.. | 23:39 |
| schultza | i want to be able to get a full scroll bar on my windows again.. how do i do that? | 23:41 |
| compdoc | that would be nice | 23:42 |
| jagginess | schultza, it's a tweak somewhere, I've seen posted about it on ubuntu wiki | 23:42 |
| Mrokii | bulletmark: Strange. As I said, it happened only very rarely here, maybe once or twice since upgrading to 12.04 and with different nVidia-drivers. | 23:42 |
| brophat | can i upgrade from a cd? | 23:42 |
| Mrokii | schultza: You mean the old style with "full" scrollbars? | 23:43 |
| jagginess | schultza, http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/08/restore-the-scrollbar-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/ | 23:43 |
| jagginess | schultza, hopefully it does for 12.04 too | 23:43 |
| agike | if os-prober does not recognise ubuntu .. what does that mean ? | 23:44 |
| schultza | yes | 23:44 |
| agike | yes | 23:44 |
| ki4ro | . | 23:44 |
| Mrokii | schultza: There's the instruction for 12.04: http://www.tuxgarage.com/2012/05/disable-overlay-scrollbars-in-precise.html | 23:44 |
| jagginess | schultza, compdoc, i've had this bookmarked (for 12.04) http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html | 23:44 |
| Mrokii | Seems quite a few people dislike the new scrollbars, heh. | 23:45 |
| jagginess | I don't mind it.. as i just tend to use pgup/pgdown :p | 23:45 |
| jagginess | the approch Mrokii looks better | 23:46 |
| schultza | relogin.. ok.. be back | 23:46 |
| jagginess | (disabling with gsettigns is more convenient than apt uninstall a pacaakge) | 23:46 |
| bulletmark | Mrokii: Happens within a couple of hours for me. So nvidia driver. Hapily though, for the first time in the many years I have used Ubuntu, I discovered that the default nouveau driver works fine - in 3D Unity and gnome-shell. No compromise at all except perhaps in fps but I don't play games so don't care about that. | 23:46 |
| jagginess | bulletmark, nouveau driver hasnt been out for many years :) | 23:48 |
| IPfreely | Why the hell when i make a connection to this room I get ip 213.226.63.137 attempting to exploit Netbus subseven backdoor-g and other exploits viruses against my system OPS you need to ban that IP | 23:48 |
| luciousjr | hello, my wacom stopped working after being fine for weeks. Im on precise 64bit. Tablet still works in Windows. Any ideas? | 23:49 |
| IPfreely | its from Bulgaria region | 23:49 |
| jagginess | IPfreely, what model is it? | 23:49 |
| IPfreely | model? | 23:50 |
| OerHeks | IPfreely, join #freenode for that please. | 23:50 |
| bulletmark | jagginess: what does that sentence mean? | 23:50 |
| jagginess | IPfreely, wacom is the brand name. model means, the product title | 23:50 |
| IPfreely | OerHeks, read what I said, its this channel someone is script kittying users as they login here | 23:51 |
| Mrokii | bulletmark: I do play games so I never installed the nouveau driver. No clue at all how stable it is or how fast the 3D part is. | 23:51 |
| IPfreely | Jag you have wrong person you want Luciu | 23:51 |
| jagginess | ok | 23:51 |
| jagginess | luciousjr, wacom I have one (an old serial one) and i know this company is awesome, provide you can say the model and it's likely a driver is available for it | 23:52 |
| luciousjr | jagginess, It's an older Intuos 2 | 23:52 |
| luciousjr | jagginess, usb hook up | 23:53 |
| jagginess | luciousjr, it ought to be in the package manager, wacom's site points to a sourceforge driver site for your product.. it should already be packaged or moduled somewhere | 23:54 |
| V3NG3NC3 | kewl | 23:54 |
| V3NG3NC3 | I am going to control 120,000 volts later tonigth with ubuntu :) | 23:55 |
| jagginess | luciousjr, lsmod <enter> , does it say wacom? | 23:55 |
| * V3NG3NC3 grins | 23:55 | |
| luciousjr | jagginess, the wacom module shows in lsmod, but it's not showing that it uses any device | 23:55 |
| Mrokii | Speaking of Wacom... I find it annoying that there is an entry for that in my system settings even though I never used a wacom tablet. And there doesn't seem to be a way to remove that thing from system settings. | 23:55 |
| jagginess | luciousjr, also be sure any wacom packages out to be installed (eg: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Wacom ) , apt-cache search wacom | 23:56 |
| jagginess | luciousjr, btw there's also this command, xsetwacom --list devices | 23:57 |
| susi | s | 23:57 |
| luciousjr | jagginess, xsetwacom --list devices, shows my tablet stylus,eraser, and cursor | 23:59 |
