| thiebaude | Carlos: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Carlos | Thiebaude it says Unmet dependencies try using -f | 00:01 |
| thiebaude | Carlos: not not sure how to use the -f command | 00:02 |
| szal | thiebaude: sudo apt-get -f install <- with no further arguments - CAUTION: may bust your pkg database and/or installation | 00:03 |
| szal | (kinda like the disclaimer you read everywhere.. not very likely, but possible) | 00:04 |
| thiebaude | szal: ok thanks , carlos was asking :) | 00:04 |
| aleminio | Hey guys, i am kinda new to ubuntu and linux and got a question. if i am creating a folder as one user and trying to upload files into it using ftp while connected with another user, it won't let me, even when i am changing the permission to 777. I have to change the user and the owner as well to match the one i'm uploading with. so why do i need permissions for "ALL" if i can't do anythhing | 00:05 |
| aleminio | anyway if my doesn't match the group? | 00:05 |
| szal | Carlos: prolly you just forgot to update your pkg database -> try 'sudo apt-get update' first | 00:05 |
| thiebaude | szal: but its something i will keep in mind, thanks | 00:05 |
| WHAT_UP | not ubuntu specific, but is there a way to simulate holding down of a key for n milliseconds using xvkbd or something of the sort? | 00:06 |
| thiebaude | Carlos: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:06 |
| szal | thiebaude: why dist-upgrade? | 00:06 |
| thiebaude | szal: to upgrade all packages that need it | 00:07 |
| thiebaude | szal: i remember doing that when i was offered a partial upgrade | 00:08 |

| ngunik | What I already found on the net did not helped me | 00:09 |
| Carlos | It keeps saying the same message. I did both commands | 00:09 |
| blackshirt | helloworld321, include was on standar directory i think | 00:09 |
| HelloWorld321 | Hi ngunik: I did that once, a while ago, programmatically, using a library from Apache. I think it was called jempbox | 00:09 |
| ngunik | @HelloWorld321 I am gonna check it out | 00:10 |
| ngunik | thanks | 00:10 |
| === e66___ is now known as e66 | ||
| szal | jeeves_moss: if lspci doesn't show it, then it's either toast or completely unsupported | 00:12 |
| jeeves_moss | szal, I know the card works (windows sees it) | 00:12 |
| szal | jeeves_moss: or just wrong PCI slot (try another) | 00:13 |
| jeeves_moss | szal, only one PCMCIA slot in this laptop | 00:13 |
| szal | ah, PCMCIA.. | 00:14 |
| jeeves_moss | szal, ok, I've tested the slot, and it works, so, now, how do I get the card to work? | 00:17 |

| jeeves_moss | what does this mean? http://pastebin.com/UC4Gizpz | 00:29 |
| Blue1 | hilo: it should be automagically created if it ever finds a file during a filecheck. It's sort of a last ditch effort by the filesystem to preserve your files. it need not be created. | 00:31 |

| aLeSD| | hi all | 00:32 |
| Blue1 | hilo: it's like trash -- once you empty the trash it's gone - but once you delete something - it re-appears. | 00:32 |
| aLeSD| | is there a dbus app that manage volume control and multimedia playing ? | 00:32 |
| Blue1 | aLeSD|: there is a volume control applet - just right click on the taskbar in any unused portion, add to panel, then volume control. | 00:33 |
| Sparky1 | can someone help me get ndiswrapper working? | 00:34 |
| aLeSD| | ok | 00:34 |
| Sparky1 | sorry about asking again rather quickly, but i realised my first thing was only stating a problem, not asking what needs to be done to fix it | 00:35 |
| trism | Sparky1: are you using 12.04? | 00:40 |
| Sparky1 | yes | 00:40 |
| ngunik | @HelloWorld321 I cant install pdfbox | 00:40 |
| Sparky1 | im resorting to ndiswrapper, because im trying to get my asus WL 138g wireless card working with ubuntu | 00:41 |
| daryo | hola | 00:42 |
| trism | Sparky1: the ndiswrapper kernel module is not included by default anymore, you will need to download ndiswrapper-dkms from packages.ubuntu.com from another pc (and perhaps dkms and the two linux-headers package, although those may be on the iso) | 00:42 |
| Sparky1 | i have the headers files... i found them in the /usr/src directory | 00:43 |
| trism | Sparky1: although that appears to be a broadcom card, you may just need to fetch the firmware | 00:43 |
| Sparky1 | the disk i have for it... i can't use, because ubuntu doesnt use exe files like that.. | 00:44 |
| Sparky1 | the disk for the wireless card, that is | 00:44 |
| trism | Sparky1: did you look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx ? | 00:45 |
| trism | Sparky1: according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsAsus you may just need the firmware from there | 00:45 |
| Sparky1 | yeah, but my card is the v1 version of this http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Adapters/WL138g_V2/#specifications | 00:46 |
| trism | Sparky1: ahh, I'm not sure then | 00:47 |

| drsteinberg | ok | 00:57 |
| drsteinberg | well, i have the xorg drivers all updated and running on a radeon r580 x1900. i got the game up in playonlinux, but it just says 'graphics card missing required features' | 00:58 |
| babygotaface | coolroot, you may run "sudo su - " at first and then run 'apt-get update' it will work | 00:59 |
| drsteinberg | all the fixes on d3 forums havent helped, so i'm betting its linux... currently trying to test the card using steps on a site as i speak | 00:59 |
| OerHeks | drsteinberg, start the game with less features? | 00:59 |

| jardineworks | goddard, I am able to ssh from to my server on wifi, but wired I get connection refused. | 01:03 |
| jardineworks | my ssh server has a static ip, and ubuntu 10.04 LTS server, and is hard wired | 01:03 |
| goddard | jardineworks: well we know it isn't a connection issue if you can connect over wifi | 01:04 |
| goddard | does your ethernet work at all? | 01:04 |
| jardineworks | goddard, fair enough -- do you know if there is something OOTB that blocks 22 on eth0? | 01:04 |
| jardineworks | goddard, it does | 01:05 |
| goddard | and the ethernet port we are talking about is your home computer your using to connect to your office server? | 01:05 |
| jardineworks | goddard, I use it on my desktop and everything works, but ssh to my server gives me connection refused. If I unplug it... everything still works (switches to wlan0) and ssh works to my server | 01:05 |
| goddard | jardineworks: when you try and connect use the -vvv | 01:06 |
| goddard | that shows more information to help debug | 01:06 |

| Ctm54 | The short version is I can't connect to the internet via ethernet cable. The cable is plugged in to the ethernet port on my motherboard. When I tell Ubuntu to connect automatically with DHCP, it spins for a while and then fails to connect. When I give it a manual address (and set up the appropriate routing instructions on my router) it says it's connected, but I cannot access the internet or even ping the router. Since this is my fir | 01:16 |
| Ctm54 | ng out out that it's a hardware or driver issue, but it seems unlikely since the OS clearly recognizes that there is an ethernet port. Here's what I'm working with: -ASROCK N68C-GS FX Motherboard (connecting the router directly to the ethernet port on the motherboard) -Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS -Asus RT-N12 router | 01:17 |

| Griffrez_ | chu Thanks, though. :D | 01:38 |
| jardineworks | goddard, do you recall what your issue was? | 01:38 |
| jardineworks | goddard, meaning how you fixed it | 01:39 |
| goddard | jardineworks: Ctm54 you got 2 errors look at your logs and try and find what it is | 01:39 |
| goddard | jardineworks: honestly I tried a lot of different things just starting from the connections and firewall and even ports and ssh keys | 01:40 |
| Ctm54 | Jordan_U: i haven't tried it on another OS ubuntu is the only OS installed on this machine, and I tried before on 12.04 with the same problem and had the stupid idea that going back one version might improve things somehow...like i said, first computer build, first foray into ubuntu, i still have a 12.04 installer if that will make the difference | 01:40 |
| Ctm54 | goddard: how do i look at my logs? | 01:40 |
| goddard | Ctm54: is it a desktop? log viewer if not var/logs/ | 01:40 |
| Babygirl | Jordan_U, i fix it,,,,i jjust remove the <track. from the line that says FileName Format | 01:41 |
| Ctm54 | goddard yeah its a DT, opened up log viewer now what? | 01:41 |
| jardineworks | goddard, guess that last one was for Ctm54, not me :) | 01:41 |
| Babygirl | <track> <filename> Jordan_U thanks for wanting to help me | 01:42 |
| Jordan_U | Ctm54: It probably won't make a difference, but once things are working you'll want to be using the latest release of Ubuntu, which also happens to be a release with long term support. | 01:42 |
| Jordan_U | Babygirl: You're welcome. I'm glad you figured it out. | 01:42 |
| Ctm54 | Jordan_U okay noted...i can upgrade once i sort everything out right? | 01:42 |
| goddard | jardineworks: a fresh install and purging old openssh settings may help and could prove the quickest path if it doesn't i would look into the user account just to rule it out then look at the firewall | 01:42 |
| Jordan_U | Ctm54: Yes, but I would recommend saving time and simply installing 12.04 instead. | 01:43 |
| jardineworks | goddard, do you know the firewall commands offhand? (save me a google?) | 01:43 |
| goddard | jardineworks: you can easily flush the iptables | 01:44 |
| goddard | jardineworks: http://pastebin.com/mdSs1i06 | 01:44 |
| jardineworks | goddard, my iptables -L just lists the defactor INPUT, FORWARD and OUTPUT lines... | 01:45 |
| Ctm54 | goddard: found the logs folder, what log should i be looking at? | 01:45 |
| Jordan_U | Ctm54: Since ethernet in GNU/Linux is very reliable, and almost always Just Works™, my first guess is that your network / cable is simply not connected / configured properly (i.e. it's not a problem on Ubuntu's side of things, nor something that you can fix by changing Ubuntu's configuration). | 01:46 |
| goddard | jardineworks: then it probably isn't the firewall | 01:46 |
| Ctm54 | Jordan_U the ethernet cable is definitely plugged in | 01:47 |
| Jordan_U | Ctm54: What type of ethernet cable are you using to connect to your computer, and what is the other end of the cable connected to? | 01:47 |
| jardineworks | goddard, and it can't be the user or the install because I can get to it using wifi! :S | 01:47 |
| goddard | jardineworks: haha maybe the router? | 01:47 |
| jardineworks | goddard, I used the same router for both wifi and hard wired :S | 01:48 |
| goddard | jardineworks: i can block specific ips from having access to certain ports on my router | 01:48 |
| Ctm54 | Jordan_U I think it's a Cat 5e that up until a few days ago was running from my router to a mac mini and working fine, now its running from my router (Asus RT-n12) to the ethernet port on my motherboard | 01:48 |
| devilcode1 | Hi all | 01:49 |
| devilcode1 | anyone one could use a little help | 01:49 |
| jardineworks | goddard, checking... but I think I just left it defacto OOTB. | 01:49 |
| goddard | jardineworks: better to just rule everything out | 01:49 |
| ki4ro | devilcode1: ask your question | 01:50 |
| devilcode1 | i just came back to my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS crashed. It has been logging me out randomly recently also. Where should i look for clues. A post suggest it was Xorg but i have no idea. | 01:50 |
| Jordan_U | Ctm54: Crossover or straighthrough? Apple hardware had automatically switching ports before a lot of other PCs and routers got them, so a crossover cable might have worked with the mac mini while not working with the current PC (for connecting a computer to a router/switch you generally want straighthrough). | 01:51 |
| Ctm54 | Jordan_U good question, would it say it on the cable? | 01:51 |
| goddard | devilcode1: i would look at the specific date of the log out in the logs and see what happened | 01:51 |
| jardineworks | goddard, nadda. defacto OOTB | 01:52 |
| devilcode1 | which logs ? | 01:52 |
| devilcode1 | when it happens again | 01:52 |
| goddard | jardineworks: short of reinstalling openssh or a new server version all together i don't know post it on ask ubuntu with the -vvv information | 01:52 |
| goddard | jardineworks: some one smarter then me will figure it out im sure | 01:53 |
| jardineworks | goddard, Appreciate you trying to help. I am wondering if maybe something on my desktop is blocking. | 01:53 |
| goddard | devilcode1: your system usually keeps logs so you can use your "Log Viewer" to see xorg operation | 01:53 |
| devilcode1 | out of interest i belive it is either google chrome or netbeans that's causing the logout | 01:54 |
| goddard | devilcode1: uninstall them and see if it happens again | 01:54 |
| goddard | devilcode1: but i would look at the logs first | 01:54 |
| goddard | jardineworks: ya could be .. rule everything out you can and post your results | 01:55 |
| devilcode1 | thanks goddard | 01:56 |
| Jordan_U | Ctm54: No, I'm looking for a good guide explaining how to tell the difference but you'll need to look at the colors of the pins at both ends of the cable. | 01:56 |
| subcool | OerHeks, none of them worked out- thanks :/ | 02:00 |
| SuperMiguel | any of you guys running ubuntu on an 27 "iMac 2011?? | 02:02 |
| Jordan_U | Ctm54: Look at the diagrams at the right on this page (the ones actually showing the plug are the easiest to use for when you yourself have to look at the ends of the plug): http://www.cablesplususa.com/rj45-utp-guide.php with a straight through cable the colors of the pins are in the same order at both ends of the cable. | 02:02 |
| devilcode1 | aggh my ttyUSB0 has disappeared after the crash | 02:02 |
| devilcode1 | its back ..phew | 02:02 |
| devilcode1 | anyone know how to make a /dev/ accessable to any use privilage wise ? | 02:03 |
| c4pt-otc | can someone help me setup Adhoc with ubuntu 10.10 ? | 02:03 |
| IdleOne | !10.10 | 02:04 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. | 02:04 |
| IdleOne | c4pt-otc: 10.10 is no longer support. I suggest you upgrade. | 02:04 |
| Jordan_U | devilcode1: That's a terrible idea. What is your actual end goal? | 02:04 |
| Ctm54 | Jordan_U the cable i'm using is a straight-through | 02:04 |
| Jordan_U | Ctm54: Ok. Are you seeing green lights on both ports (the computer and the router)? | 02:05 |
| Balask | Hello I'm having trouble with DRIconf. Does anyone know much about that? | 02:05 |
| devilcode1 | well im writing some software to connect to ttyUSB0 (virtual com port) | 02:05 |
| devilcode1 | but seems it needs root privilages | 02:05 |
| Balask | It tells me "Could not detect any configurable direct-rendering capable devices. DRIconf will be started in expert mode." | 02:06 |
| Balask | fglrxinfo tells me: "display: :0 screen: 0 | 02:06 |

| Ctm54 | Jordan_U my router doesn't have lights on the actual ethernet ports but the LAN LED for that port is blinking; on my machine i've got blinking red only | 02:07 |
| devilcode1 | so whats the correct way to interface with /dev/ttyUSB0 | 02:08 |
| devilcode1 | ah can i not join the group | 02:09 |
| Balask | I hear you devilcode1 but I don't have an answer | 02:09 |
| vychune | hello | 02:14 |
| vychune | i need help with my log files | 02:15 |
| vychune | they are super big and i would like to know how to remove them safely | 02:15 |
| PlowRox | just delete them | 02:16 |
| dj_segfault | vychune: Which logfiles? | 02:16 |
| Ctm54 | Jordan_U goddard - additional weirdness, when i look at my routers logs, I see that it gave a DHCP lease to the mac address of my linux box for 4 seconds and then the lease expired | 02:16 |
| dj_segfault | vychune: Most log files should be rotated and the oldest removed using logrotate | 02:17 |
| vychune | logrotate isnt doing its job | 02:18 |
| vychune | i see plenty of .gz files in here too | 02:19 |
| escott | vychune, you wouldn't have the gz is logrotate wasn't running | 02:20 |
| devilcode1 | yeah u can change the permission on /dev/ttyUSB0 | 02:20 |
| devilcode1 | think its not the recommend way though | 02:20 |
| devilcode1 | add user to goup anywys | 02:20 |
| escott | vychune, if you just want to keep fewer logs modify the "rotate #" lines of in /etc/logrotate.* | 02:21 |
| vychune | ok then | 02:21 |
| devilcode1 | goodnight all ... 03:25 here | 02:21 |
| vychune | what about the logs there now delete them? | 02:22 |
| iepa | good night | 02:22 |
| === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| iepa | 4.22 here | 02:22 |

| iepa | of morning? | 02:22 |
| iepa | ufff | 02:22 |

| Jihui_Choi | in LAMP, 12.04, when I type 127.0.0.1/sub, apache can't recognize index.php, but index.html works well. How can I fix this? | 02:24 |
| iepa | Jihui_Choi, you have to activate php shell on apache | 02:25 |
| vychune | ^ | 02:25 |
| Jihui_Choi | iepa, php works fine, if I type localhost/sub/index.php, it works. but localhost/sub doesn't | 02:26 |
| escott | vychune, delete whatever you want. worst case the logs are lost until the daemon gets signalled from the next rotate cycle | 02:26 |
| iepa | change index.html filename | 02:26 |
| vychune | escott: YAYYYYYY | 02:26 |
| vychune | Jihui_Choi: your html file is all apache sees when you dont specify a filename | 02:27 |
| sacarlson | Jihui_Choi: for me html has presidence over php so if your index.html is present it in that dir it will run that one | 02:27 |
| vychune | ^ | 02:27 |
| Jihui_Choi | sacarlson: so I change directoryindex on httpd.conf, like this directoryindex index.php index.html .... but no change | 02:28 |
| Jihui_Choi | even I remove index.html from directoryindex, only index.html works | 02:29 |
| sacarlson | Jihui_Choi: you shouldn't have to change anything other than be sure that index.html isn't present | 02:29 |
| Ctm54 | anybody else have any more ideas for what's wrong with my ethernet? | 02:31 |
| Jihui_Choi | I installed redmine and ruby 1.9.1... I think after installing redmine, this problem occurred. | 02:31 |
| vychune | Ctm54: what's going on with it? | 02:32 |
| Ctm54 | vychune it won't connect to the internet, even though it shows up when i run ifconfig, can't even ping the router, doesn't seem like it's getting an IPV4 address | 02:33 |
| battlehands | I need to format my harddrive to NTFS. It is currently ext4. I have ubuntu running and I cannot unmount the drive (seem to remember that I need to do this in order to format). I have gparted open. Please advise. | 02:33 |
| escott | Ctm54, what is your routing table | 02:33 |
| escott | battlehands, boot a livecd | 02:34 |
| Ctm54 | escott i'm brand new to ubuntu, sorry for a stupid question but how do i pull that up? | 02:34 |
| Jihui_Choi | iepa , sacarlson, see this one. http://1.221.147.11:8080/icoup/ doesn't work. but http://1.221.147.11:8080/icoup/index.php works. | 02:34 |
| escott | Ctm54, "route" in a terminal | 02:34 |
| battlehands | escott, boot from a livecd, unmount, format, then run my new install after restart? | 02:34 |
| escott | battlehands, yes | 02:35 |
| vychune | battlehands: if you format your new install will be gone | 02:35 |

| Jihui_Choi | vychune: sure. thanks :) | 02:38 |
| Ctm54 | escott ubottu aaaaaaaaaaaand my box just froze...gimme a minute | 02:38 |
| escott | Ctm54, are freezes common? | 02:39 |
| Ctm54 | no, but what is common is my machine not powering down correctly | 02:39 |
| Ctm54 | and i have to do a hard restart | 02:39 |
| vychune | Jihui_Choi: do you see the source code when you do the one that doesnt work? | 02:39 |
| Jihui_Choi | vychune: no. it said just "Page not found" funny thing is if I make index.html, http://1.221.147.11:8080/icoup/ opens index.html | 02:41 |
| xanfer | chin ho ? | 02:41 |
| vychune | rename index.html to in.html for me then try again | 02:41 |
| Ctm54 | escott obottu http://pastebin.com/C7peexH0 | 02:42 |
| xanfer | ho me tu | 02:42 |
| sacarlson | Jihui_Choi: did you modify this file? /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf | 02:42 |
| xanfer | ? | 02:43 |
| Jihui_Choi | vychune: only index.html works. no index.htm, no in.html, not even file list.. | 02:43 |
| vychune | wtf? | 02:43 |
| Jihui_Choi | yes! exactly wtf | 02:43 |
| Jihui_Choi | lol | 02:43 |
| sacarlson | Jihui_Choi: in default it should search in the sequence seen in the file /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf | 02:43 |
| Jihui_Choi | you know what? http://1.221.147.11:8080 works very well | 02:43 |
| vychune | wth? | 02:44 |
| Jihui_Choi | http://1.221.147.11:8080/ is for redmine.. and I believe redmine made this problem | 02:44 |
| escott | Ctm54, and what happens when you ping 192.168.1.1 | 02:44 |
| vychune | check out the file sacarlson is talking about | 02:44 |
| escott | Ctm54, everything is lost? | 02:44 |
| Ctm54 | escott destination host unreachable | 02:44 |
| vychune | escott: you thinking that might not be the right gateway too? | 02:44 |
| Jihui_Choi | sacarlson: I know that, so I changed that file. actually directoryindex setting, though. | 02:45 |
| Jihui_Choi | it doesn't affect anything | 02:45 |
| subcool | can someone walk with me through some disk managment/understanding? | 02:45 |
| subcool | it should be quite easy | 02:45 |
| sacarlson | Jihui_Choi: well you shouldn't have needed to change it so that must be why it broken | 02:45 |
| escott | vychune, doesn't matter if its the right gateway or not. its on the subnet if its there it should respond | 02:45 |
| Jihui_Choi | even I deleted all of directoryindex... index.html works, but not else.. | 02:45 |
| Ctm54 | escott 100% packet loss | 02:45 |
| xanfer | ? | 02:46 |
| xanfer | ? | 02:46 |
| escott | Ctm54, given that your routing table looks fine the only thing i can imagine is that your network is statically configured to the 192.168.1.* subnet, but you are connected to something that is not a 192.168.1.* subnet | 02:46 |
| Ctm54 | okay so how do i fix that? | 02:46 |
| Ctm54 | escott see above | 02:47 |
| vychune | subcool: whats up? | 02:47 |
| subcool | vychune, hey, i have dev/sda1-5 i can only navigate one of them? | 02:47 |
| escott | Ctm54, "cat /etc/networks" it should only mention link-local and then "cat /etc/network/interfaces" it should only mention auto lo and iface lo | 02:48 |
| subcool | vychune, id like to find out why sda2 is labeled var and has NOTHING on it, i want access to sda1, and from there, maybe kill sda2, and combine it with unallocated space. | 02:48 |
| Jihui_Choi | sacarlson, vychune : I remove directoryindex from /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf.. but http://1.221.147.11:8080/icoup still opens index.html, but no index.php | 02:48 |
| Jihui_Choi | this means /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf doesn't work correctly | 02:49 |
| subcool | vychune, thing is- while i open dolphin, i only have access to... THIS paritition. :/ | 02:49 |
| Katronix | on a ubuntu server, do you need to tell it what IPs it has access to anywhere? | 02:49 |
| Ctm54 | escott gonna pastebin results to you in a sec | 02:49 |
| escott | Ctm54, no need to copy and paste those. it should only be a couple lines for each. if its more than that then its wrong | 02:50 |
| ui | subcool: try with sudo | 02:50 |
| ui | subcool: sudo gparted | 02:50 |
| Ctm54 | escott the second one was wrong | 02:50 |
| sacarlson | Jihui_Choi: what method of install did you use to install LAMP in ubuntu? give us the link you used as reference | 02:50 |
| Katronix | for instance if your server has 5 IPs do you need to inform it of that? | 02:50 |
| vychune | subcool: can you see anything from CLI | 02:50 |
| Jihui_Choi | sacarlson: basically, I installed 12.04 server and I installed lamp when I installed OS. | 02:51 |
| Ctm54 | escott truth in advertising: i had modified stuff earlier on advice from someone else about how to fix this | 02:51 |
| Jihui_Choi | after that I installed redmine.. | 02:51 |
| Jihui_Choi | followed this page http://www.xunilarium.com/2012/05/how-to-install-redmine-201-on-ubuntu.html | 02:52 |
| sacarlson | Jihui_Choi: there is no package lamp what did you install? | 02:52 |
| escott | Ctm54, they probably had you add various lines concerning eth0 to interfaces | 02:52 |
| escott | Ctm54, I would take those out and focus on getting network manager to work, but its up to you. the problem is i don't know what the correct subnet is | 02:52 |
| Ctm54 | escott, yup, and i'm pretty sure i understand what all those lines mean but obviously that wasn't working | 02:53 |
| escott | Ctm54, on your mac you could run ifconfig and route and see if 192.168.1.* is correct | 02:53 |
| Jihui_Choi | sacarlson: no. basic lamp works well without extra packages | 02:53 |
| Jihui_Choi | and I think apache recognized index.php before installing redmine.. I'm not sure though. | 02:54 |
| Ctm54 | escott no i know for a fact that my MBP has the IP address 192.168.1.150 so i think that's the right subnet | 02:54 |
| sacarlson | Jihui_Choi: I don't see the package lamp-server in my synaptic on ubuntu 10.04 and I'm not sure what this package does libapache2-mod-passenger | 02:55 |
| escott | Ctm54, yeah sounds alright | 02:56 |
| Jihui_Choi | sacarlson: it doesn't, but I installed libapache2-mod-passenger when I install redmine.. | 02:56 |
| arashb | hey guys, i'm livebooted into ubuntu right now, can someone help me with installing .scripts into my system? | 02:56 |
| Jihui_Choi | apt-get install ruby-full libmysqlclient-dev libmagickwand-dev libapache2-mod-passenger | 02:57 |
| Ctm54 | gonna take out the eth0 from the interfaces, escott, gimme a sec | 02:57 |
| escott | Ctm54, and that cable works for the mac as well | 02:57 |
| zykotick9 | sacarlson: fyi lamp-server is a tasksel "task" instead of a package | 02:57 |
| sacarlson | zykotick9: ok thanks | 02:57 |
| Ctm54 | escott it had been working for a different mac | 02:57 |
| OY1R | q: is there a way (with gui) to completly delete a file in ubuntu ? | 02:58 |
| Ariii | Wow.... XUbuntu looks a lot better than Lubuntu, and I heard it's lighter too. Is this true? I've heard Lubuntu being recommended more often too. | 02:58 |
| === lonewolf is now known as Guest46312 | ||
| vychune | Ariii: it depends on your computer and your preferance | 02:59 |
| Ctm54 | escott took out the eth0 stuff, now when i click the networking thing at the top of the screen it says device not managed | 02:59 |
| zykotick9 | Ariii: Xubuntu is similar (only slightly less) resource hungry then old gnome2 | 02:59 |
| escott | Ctm54, you would probably need to restart the networking service | 02:59 |
| sacarlson | Jihui_Choi: well you could regress by purge of apache2 and reinstall before the changes you made or maybe just create a index.html file that redirects to your desired index.php | 02:59 |
| Ctm54 | escott remind me the command for that plz | 03:00 |
| Ariii | zykotick | 03:00 |
| escott | Ctm54, try service networking restart | 03:00 |
| vychune | Jihui_Choi: or purge redmine | 03:00 |
| Ariii | zykotick: So, which would be better: XUbuntu or an old version of Ubuntu? | 03:00 |
| Ctm54 | escott "restart: unknown instance: " | 03:00 |
| zykotick9 | !tab | Ariii | 03:00 |
| ubottu | Ariii: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 03:00 |
| escott | Ctm54, try service network-manager restart then | 03:01 |
| zykotick9 | Ariii: don't use unsupported versions, xubuntu is slightly lighter then gnome2 (but only slightly). 10.04 still has some support with gnome2 | 03:01 |
| vychune | escott: shouldnt he sudo that? | 03:01 |
| escott | vychune, yes Ctm54 ^^^ | 03:02 |
| Ctm54 | escott vychune figured out to sudo, now what? | 03:02 |
| escott | Ctm54, now see if network manager will manage eth0 | 03:02 |
| Ctm54 | escott yup it will | 03:02 |
| escott | Ctm54, probably want to plug/unplug the cord | 03:02 |
| vychune | see if the check for enable networking is ticked too | 03:02 |
| Ariii | zykotick9: Thanks! | 03:03 |
| vychune | on the wifi icon thing | 03:03 |
| vychune | (that has tripped me many a time lol) | 03:03 |
| vychune | not saying thats your issue just checking | 03:03 |
| Ctm54 | escott vychune plugged and unplugged, enable networking checked | 03:03 |
| Ctm54 | still same results | 03:03 |
| Ctm54 | escott vychune and now when i hit route no numbers come up | 03:04 |
| Ariii | I know I have no hope of getting even Xubuntu to work well on a 366 MHz iBook, but it did pretty well in MintPPC, so should it work well with FVWM well in Ubuntu? | 03:04 |
| zykotick9 | Ctm54: if you're getting "not managed" it's because the device has settings in /etc/network/interfaces (remove that and reboot or ifdown/ifup) | 03:05 |
| Ctm54 | zykotick9: no it's managed now it just can't connect and now nothing is coming up in my routing table | 03:05 |
| kanupatar | hi good morning all | 03:06 |
| escott | Ctm54, so go into the network manager gui and see what it says about the connection. is it set to DHCP | 03:06 |
| zykotick9 | Ctm54: ok sorry (my bad). i have no suggestions... | 03:06 |
| subcool | ui vychune i did not open gparted with root, no. I dont really know the CLI commonds to do this all. I just wanted to see whats on my 130gb drive, and super empty partition. | 03:06 |
| kanupatar | I have installed ubuntu..but my machine become freezes randomly when i log in it...but windows it is working fine. | 03:06 |
| ui | gparted will open inside a window | 03:06 |
| ui | ... | 03:07 |
| Ctm54 | escott IPv4 is set to DHCP and require IPv4 for connection to complete, IPv6 is set to ignore | 03:07 |
| kanupatar | I have installed ubuntu..but my machine become freezes randomly when i log in it...but windows it is working fine. | 03:07 |
| kanupatar | any idea? | 03:07 |
| ui | subcool: I was wondering whether you would not see because you have not enough privileges... hence usage of 'sudo' | 03:08 |
| ui | and to make up partitions you need gparted, which opens in a window and must be run with sudo as well | 03:08 |
| kanupatar | I have installed ubuntu..but my machine become freezes randomly when i log in it...but windows it is working fine. | 03:08 |
| kanupatar | any idea? | 03:08 |
| arashb | can someone tell me how i would apply this patch from this link? http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg.drivers.intel/3826 | 03:09 |
| vychune | kandinski: we see you hold on a second lol | 03:09 |
| ui | subcool: to see the files just do sudo nautilus | 03:09 |
| vychune | kanupatar: : we see you hold on a second lol | 03:09 |
| kanupatar | vychune:sure | 03:10 |
| zykotick9 | !gksudo | ui DON'T use sudo with GUI apps | 03:10 |
| ubottu | ui DON'T use sudo with GUI apps: 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) | 03:10 |
| kanupatar | vychune: eccentric! | 03:10 |
| escott | Ctm54, must not be getting a lease offer. you can manually set the ip address in network manager (and accomplish what you accomplished with /etc/network/interfaces) but im not sure what that would accomplish | 03:10 |
| ui | thanks a lot zykotick9 | 03:10 |
| Ctm54 | escott might this be something i have to fix with my router? | 03:11 |
| ui | subcool: sorry for above mistake, do 'gksudo nautilus' | 03:11 |
| escott | Ctm54, maybe. it would help to know if the router is detecting that there is another computer on the other end of that wire | 03:11 |
| escott | Ctm54, but i dont know how that would be done | 03:11 |
| vychune | escott: Ctm54 : he would need to look on his router for his config ip address | 03:12 |
| Ctm54 | escott: vychune: it's not showing up on my router's network map but when i reboot the linux box it shows up in my mac's finder for a few seconds before going away, and my routers routing log shows an expired DCHP lease for my linux box's mac address | 03:13 |
| escott | Ctm54, are the clocks in sync? | 03:14 |
| Ctm54 | escott what clocks and how would i check that? | 03:14 |
| vychune | THE TIME! | 03:15 |
| vychune | oh yeah | 03:15 |
| kanupatar | vychune: time is over :( | 03:15 |

| vychune | didnt think of that | 03:15 |
| vychune | kanupatar: still working on you | 03:15 |
| kanupatar | vychune: who? | 03:15 |
| escott | Ctm54, (a) does the linux system show the correct time (b) does the mac show the correct time (c) from the mac if you go to https://192.168.1.1 and see if it shows the correct time | 03:16 |
| vychune | kanupatar: im looking for your problem | 03:16 |
| usr13__ | Ctm54: date | 03:16 |
| L3top | kanupatar: here or there... lspci -nn | grep VGA | 03:17 |
| Ctm54 | escott i have just adjusted the linux to show the correct time, router does not show correct time but (i think) is synced to the right time zone | 03:17 |
| kanupatar | vychune: more explanation: the machine randomly freezes with out any reason... even i freezes if did n't open any applications | 03:17 |
| HelloWorld321 | To setup R, I'm looking for MySQL's base dir, lib dir & include path; I'm looking in /etc/mysql/my.cnf, and I see: "basedir = /usr"; "datadir = /var/lib/mysql"; and "!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/". Is that them? | 03:17 |
| escott | Ctm54, you can also check that the DHCP lease time is a reasonably long period (this is in the router config) | 03:17 |
| vychune | kanupatar: does it always do it at a certain point? | 03:18 |
| kanupatar | L3top: am using intel..i know the graphics driver bug for nvidia vga for 12.04 | 03:18 |
| kanupatar | vychune: no..it is random | 03:18 |
| Ctm54 | it's set to 86400, escott, should be good right? | 03:18 |
| * L3top doesn't know why this is like pulling teeth... doesn't know why he continues to pull. | 03:18 | |
| kanupatar | vychune: the complete machine become freezes..only way to get rid of that is force reboot | 03:18 |
| escott | Ctm54, so that is 1 day which is fine | 03:19 |
| Ctm54 | escott, although the lease list says 45 seconds under my machines mac address... | 03:19 |
| escott | Ctm54, you might clear your leases for that mac | 03:19 |
| Ctm54 | escott how do i do that? any idea? | 03:20 |
| L3top | kanupatar: run memtest for a few cycles. | 03:20 |
| escott | Ctm54, router dependent. look in the routers administration webpage, or reboot the router | 03:20 |
| kanupatar | L3top: already tried and no issues either | 03:21 |
| vychune | i've run out of ideas on this end sorry | 03:22 |

| Ctm54_ | escott sorry i'm back now | 03:23 |
| Guest77655 | hello | 03:23 |
| Ctm54_ | router closed me out when i changed a setting | 03:23 |
| abimael | Ok so i moved a picture into the usr/share/background folder but it doesnt show up in settings under the default wallpapers, Why is that? | 03:24 |
| escott | Ctm54_, are things at all better now? | 03:26 |
| escott | abimael, did you properly re-chown it? | 03:27 |
| Ctm54_ | escott nope still can't connect | 03:27 |
| Ctm54_ | escott network is still unreachable | 03:27 |
| arashb | can someone help me with applying patches on ubuntu? | 03:27 |
| escott | Ctm54_, im afraid i dont really know what to suggest. sounds like a router problem of some kind. | 03:27 |
| abimael | escott: umm, no, how would i do that? | 03:28 |
| Ctm54_ | escott would it be worth the time and effort to set up a whole new router? | 03:28 |
| escott | Ctm54_, the fact that it appears briefly in finder suggests that some kind of broadcast messages are being sent but then you get kicked off the network | 03:28 |
| abimael | escott: chown is change ownership right? | 03:28 |
| zykotick9 | arashb: patches are typically applied to source code, then recompiled? sounds like you're trying to do something "outisde" of ubuntu | 03:28 |
| escott | Ctm54_, that depends on how important it is to you. someone who is sitting in front of it might be able to diagnose what is going on | 03:29 |
| escott | abimael, yes | 03:29 |
| arashb | zykotick9: im trying to patch my system so I can properly boot in EFI mode but have never dealt with patches before, i'm still fairly new | 03:29 |
| abimael | ok so what exactly would i need to do, specfically pertaining to the picture? | 03:29 |

| ubottu | arashb this kinda makes me laugh but...: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 03:35 |

| gld1982ltd | hello all. is there anyone here who can create a debian package out of files i have? the files are an app called conky control. it is used on voyager linux. i have translated the app to english and have add the appropriate desktop files. i have no clue how to make a debian package so others can enjoy this app. | 03:44 |
| calamari | gld1982ltd: there are a couple programs that can do it | 03:45 |
| calamari | gld1982ltd: will this be distributed, or is it a one-off for your personal use only? | 03:46 |

| calamari | gld1982ltd: follow L3top's links | 03:47 |
| gld1982ltd | L3top: yeah, i have read through all the documentation.....well, some of it. it is a lot to take in all at once. checkinstall will not work since this is an app that is not in any repo, and has no source file. the app is merely a couple of scripts that are used on voyager linux. | 03:49 |

| milamber | kramer3d: 1.) you shouldn't have a root account | 04:16 |

| ssrvm | milamber, and 90% times windows is running on machine A | 04:20 |
| milamber | ssrvm: ok, that makes it easier. you just have to right click and share the printer on the windows machine | 04:21 |
| ssrvm | milamber, printer is already shared on network. and it can be accessed by other machines from windows. but how do i access it from lubuntu? | 04:21 |
| milamber | ssrvm: then on the linux machines you have to install smb-client (i think it is just smbclient now) and you will be able to find the shared printer on the network | 04:21 |

| mi3 | Hello... I'm wondering if I can merge an ext4 partition with my current ext4 partition that my ubuntu installation is on.. is that possible? | 04:40 |
| kriskropd | mi3, do you mean like, copying and pasting the files over into one partition? | 04:41 |
| mi3 | kriskropd: yeah | 04:41 |
| kriskropd | mi3, yeah, you can mount both partitions and simply copy the files over, then after you could merge the two partitions into whichever is your "current" partition with gparted | 04:42 |
| mi3 | kriskropd: that wont result in data loss, right ? | 04:43 |
| Loshki | mi3: er, you have backups, right? In case it all goes horribly wrong...? | 04:44 |
| mi3 | Loshki: yeah | 04:44 |
| Loshki | mi3: might be easiest to wipe the partitions, merge them, then restore from backup on the new, merged partition. Tedious, but fairly bulletproof... | 04:45 |
| mi3 | i made one just in case... is this going to wipe the file system? | 04:45 |
| mi3 | Loshki: umm sounds easy.... | 04:46 |
| kriskropd | mi3, yeah, I would backup just in case | 04:46 |
| kriskropd | mi3, anything could happen | 04:46 |
| mi3 | understood, guys | 04:46 |
| mi3 | I will backup the data | 04:46 |
| Loshki | mi3: as long as your backups are readable/reliable, there's not much you can't attempt... | 04:46 |
| Loshki | mi3: in general, I would assume any partition resizing will trash the data. If you get lucky and it doesn't, then it's saved you a bit of time restoring. But either way, you can recover | 04:48 |
| mi3 | Loshki: thats what I was thinking, you can merge a partition without risking data loss | 04:49 |
| mi3 | sorry | 04:49 |
| mi3 | *cant | 04:49 |
| mi3 | you cant merger a partition | 04:49 |
| mi3 | *merger | 04:50 |
| mi3 | WTF | 04:50 |
| mi3 | merge | 04:50 |
| FloodBot1 | mi3: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:50 |
| mi3 | ok, sorry | 04:50 |
| chu | mi3: Don't use that acronym. | 04:50 |
| mi3 | ok, sorry | 04:50 |
| OY1R | how do i whipe the free space on a partition ? | 04:50 |
| mi3 | OY1R: use sfill. | 04:51 |
| kriskropd | mi3, loshki has the right mindset, I would never mess with partitions without a reliable backup, but also from experience, every merge I've ever had to do with gparted has worked flawlessly and easily; should be self explanatory when you get there | 04:51 |
| Loshki | mi3: if you're just merging neighboring partitions so that the main one expands into its next door one, then *maybe* the data will be preserved, but I don't know anyone who *guarantees* that, so, backups... | 04:51 |
| mi3 | OY1R: sudo apt-get install secure-delete | 04:51 |
| mi3 | kriskropd: Loshki yeah right guys, I guess backups are important.... | 04:51 |
| kriskropd | mi3: it's only your data :3 | 04:52 |
| mi3 | xD | 04:52 |
| Loshki | kriskropd: yeah. Been there, done that. Had to face my team/boss. Wish someone had said to me before I started that backups were crucial to a quick recovery... | 04:52 |

| sloppy | Hey guys...I have a question about the purpose of not being logged in as root. I have heard that it prevents people from being able to execute commands on your computer if you are connected to things like IRC | 05:15 |
| sloppy | but how would one even go about executing commands on a computer connected to irc that is logged in as root? | 05:16 |
| paulus68 | I installed ubuntu on a 500 gig harddrive which is more then sufficient concerning the space is there a way that I can dedicate folders as shared folders on that same drive example /media/backup => external usb drive | 05:16 |
| ssrvm | sudipta, what i can tell is when *I* used it on my pc i found it to be stable. but i can not comment anything about its security | 05:16 |

| wasanzy | please help | 05:22 |
| duckx | i edited /etc/ssh/ssh_config and changed my port # and then i did a /etc/init.d/ssh reload ... but it doesnt work it seems.. amy doing something wrong? I'm on version 12.04 | 05:22 |
| fearolo | how to use nmap ? | 05:22 |
| wasanzy | what error get duckx? | 05:23 |
| chu | !man | fearolo | 05:23 |
| ubottu | fearolo: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ | 05:23 |
| paulus68 | !nmap |fearolo | 05:23 |
| duckx | i dont get any error | 05:23 |
| Murd0ck | If anyone cares,.. it's docky | 05:23 |
| Murd0ck | it's in the repos | 05:23 |
| duckx | i am still able to login via port 22 | 05:23 |
| duckx | i changed it to 9999 | 05:23 |
| Loshki | duckx: did you edit ssh_config or sshd_config? Two different files, one for the server, one for the client? | 05:23 |
| duckx | oic | 05:24 |
| duckx | just ssh_config | 05:24 |
| duckx | which one is that for | 05:24 |
| duckx | and the d for ? | 05:24 |
| wasanzy | ssh_config is for the client | 05:24 |
| paulus68 | fearolo: http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2007/10/20/ip-and-port-scanning-using-nmap-network-mapper-in-ubuntu/ might be helpfull | 05:24 |
| wasanzy | I guess u hv to change same in sshd_config | 05:25 |
| fearolo | where can i use nmap ? Means its applications | 05:25 |
| duckx | what u mean for the client ? | 05:25 |
| duckx | am i not the client when logging in ? | 05:25 |
| Loshki | duckx: d is for daemon, another word for "server", so sshd_config is for the server, ssh_config is for the client. Now that I have to explain it, I realise that having them differ only in one letter is rather bad design... | 05:25 |
| caffine | as the same logged in user, i can ping the internet from a terminal window, but things like akregator and amarok can't get to the internet anymore. anyone seen that before or better yet, know how to fix it? also, obviously, pidgin is working. :) | 05:25 |
| paulus68 | fearolo: what do you mean | 05:25 |
| wasanzy | I need help as well please | 05:26 |
| duckx | ssh_config.. is for when ur logging into somewhere else right ? | 05:26 |
| fearolo | paulus68: means nmap application .I only know port scanner but actually don't know its application | 05:26 |
| duckx | say i was going to do ssh foo@bar.com | 05:27 |
| zamutnii | After upgrading ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, my graphics freezes during boot with flickering colored dots, covering the monitor. ATI Mobility Radeon HD5470 | 05:27 |
| Loshki | duckx: both client and server have to agree on which port they're using. You need to edit both files, or at least sshd_config and then use -p 9999 with the client | 05:27 |
| duckx | and it would default the port # to what i set in ssh_config ? | 05:27 |
| wasanzy | yes duckx | 05:27 |
| Loshki | duckx: set them both, restart the server, and then retest... | 05:27 |
| paulus68 | fearolo: under ubuntu just use the nmap commands in terminal and use it wisely | 05:27 |
| wasanzy | duckx: just do this with out editing the server file ssh -p 999 user@server.com | 05:28 |
| === cake is now known as Guest36461 | ||
| fearolo | paulus68: what do you mean by packet filtering | 05:29 |
| duckx | so im going to rever the ssh_config file back to defaults then... i guess i wasnt suppose to touch that.. i changed the sshd and it works now | 05:29 |
| Loshki | wasanzy: duckx: if you don't edit the server file, it will continue listening on port 22 | 05:29 |
| ScrappieDo | zamutnii, i dunno if this helps any, but hows about removing fglrx* and reconfiguring xorg | 05:30 |
| wasanzy | Loshki: am not sure he is setting 999 as his default port | 05:30 |
| paulus68 | fearolo: http://nmap.org/book/man.html | 05:30 |
| duckx | Loshki, i edited the sshd_config file | 05:31 |
| duckx | tat should be the only one im editing right ? its the daemon | 05:32 |
| wasanzy | but please am still waiting for a help on my dual monitor issue | 05:32 |
| duckx | is this lanscape canonical thing useful ? i just signed up | 05:33 |
| zamutnii | ScrappieDo: after that flickering colored dots flickering, I downloaded the driver from ati/amd site and started installing, after which, it told me that fglrx is already installed, I need to remove it first, so I've removed, rebooted and installed the new drivers. now the screen doesn't flicker, but stays forever on the UBUNTU with dots underneath booting screen and no keys work. I only am able to force reboot by holding the power | 05:34 |
| zamutnii | button for a few secs. | 05:34 |
| Loshki | duckx: edit the daemon and restart it. It should now be listening on port 9999. You should be able to connect by doing ssh -v -p 9999 foo@bar.com | 05:34 |
| duckx | yea i got it thanks! | 05:34 |
| wasanzy | duckx just make sure edit both sshd_config and ssh_config | 05:34 |
| duckx | i only edited sshd | 05:34 |
| duckx | and its working | 05:35 |
| hmw | When I try to cat file > /dev/ttyUSB0 to my Commodore64, bytes with value $00 seem not to be transmitted. Is it something on the Linux side? | 05:35 |
| duckx | i dont see why i need to edit ssh_configh... its settings for the default port when i ssh into another server isnt it? as if i am the client | 05:36 |
| fearolo | paulus68: i want to open a port number using nmap .How can i do that ? | 05:36 |
| Loshki | duckx: then ironically, you've done something wrong, since the client should try port 22 by default, while the server should be listening on port 9999. | 05:36 |
| ScrappieDo | zamutnii, probably should remove it - why dont you install the driver from ubuntu or a ppa? | 05:36 |
| duckx | yea the server is set to listen on 8880 | 05:37 |
| paulus68 | fearolo: why do you want to use nmap for that? nmap is a scanning tool if you need to open ports you need to do that through your firewall/router | 05:37 |
| duckx | when i ssh in from the computer im using now .. i have to do ssh foo@bar.com -p 9999 | 05:37 |
| duckx | which is wat i wanted | 05:37 |
| KM0201 | duckx: whats the 9999 ? | 05:38 |
| KM0201 | port? | 05:38 |
| duckx | sshd_config | 05:38 |
| duckx | yea port | 05:38 |
| KM0201 | oh ok | 05:38 |
| Loshki | duckx: ok, that sounds right. If you run ssh with "-v" you should be able to verify which port its using from the debug output. | 05:38 |
| === [mad]Berry is now known as madberry | ||
| duckx | o ok | 05:38 |
| zamutnii | ScrappieDo: but, I think, it was installed by default, until I installed the proprietary. Can you hint on how to install the driver from ubuntu or ppa. | 05:38 |
| ScrappieDo | zamutnii, i used jockey, the install drivers thing. the older one in jockey worked fine for me, but the updated one didn't work at all. | 05:39 |
| fearolo | paulus68: ok ! suppose i want to know which application use what port .Which tool will help me | 05:39 |
| Loshki | duckx: look for a line like: Connecting to localhost [127.0.0.1] port 22. Of course, your host and port should be different to mine | 05:39 |
| wasanzy | No one to help me? | 05:40 |
| duckx | wasanzy, sorry im new myself | 05:40 |
| zamutnii | ScrappieDo: you see, I can't get onto the gui, so do I install something like apt-get install jockey? | 05:40 |
| === test is now known as robert_ancell | ||
| paulus68 | fearolo: for that you can use nmap | 05:41 |
| ScrappieDo | zamutnii, I would try to remove fglrx and install the one from the repo instead | 05:42 |
| Loshki | wasanzy: please repeat your question so new people can read it. It can take a while before Someone Who Knows about your issue comes online in this group. You can repeat your question every 15 minutes or so until someone responds (or you get tired of asking)... | 05:42 |
| fearolo | paulus68: how ? suppose i want to check for my firefox ,what should i write in terminal | 05:42 |
| L3top | wasanzy: looking. One moment please. | 05:43 |

| Loshki | duckx: is your ssh server accessible from the internet? If so, you may need to take additional security precautions... | 05:44 |
| L3top | wasanzy: Ok... first of all set your desired resolution in xorg.conf under virtual... it is set at 9000 x 9000. Not at all sure how that happened | 05:44 |

| Gangsta | hello | 05:46 |

| wasanzy | ok | 05:48 |
| paulus68 | fearolo: still looking | 05:48 |
| dax | Gangsta: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. Asking for numbers off people's credit cards is not on-topic here, and freenode in general is not a very good place for it. | 05:48 |

| Loshki | duckx: ideally, disallow user/password logins and only allow access via ssh keys. You'll need to do some reading to set it up. Until you can manage that, then at least use strong passwords, and disallow root logins... | 05:49 |
| duckx | i know how to setup ssh key logins | 05:49 |
| duckx | but no logins at all ? | 05:49 |

| dax | Gangsta: No. | 05:50 |
| Gangsta | dax plz help me out bro | 05:50 |
| Loshki | duckx: no logins via username+password, which can be guessed/stolen. Allow logins only if you have the correct ssh key (which can be stolen, but not guessed). Also, use a less obvious port than 9999. Pick a more random port, and don't tell me (or anyone else) what it is... | 05:54 |

I run similar hardware to yours, using the built-in intel graphics and my 12.04 uptime is currently 11 days. Then again, I don't run the standard DE/GUI stuff.

| mosk | I'm here | 07:35 |
| L3top | mosk I believe you will need to boot to a live disk, mount it, bind /dev and chroot in... then install and update grub. | 07:36 |
| arcwolf | besTKoDerEverR: use live disk or a emulator | 07:36 |
| L3top | mosk: it is an involved process. Let me know when you have booted to the live cd. | 07:36 |
| L3top | Tewlz: by all means... look in the bios for a way to disable the discrete GPU. I was unaware there were any that let you. That would definitely be best. | 07:37 |

| arcwolf | besTKoDerEverR: yes if you have a (savefile)? some distros will do this | 07:39 |
| acemeister | i know that | 07:39 |
| acemeister | but i dont know how to get to them | 07:40 |
| acemeister | the commands | 07:40 |
| acemeister | you have to type in | 07:40 |
| L3top | besTKoDerEverR: you could look into remastersys, then you could make a live cd that mirrored your install... and add it to a USB drive with persistence. | 07:40 |

| mosk | (mosk) I make a usb stick because my laptop haven't cd drive | 07:41 |
| acemeister | so tell me the difference between 64 bit and 32 bit please? | 07:41 |
| mosk | (mosk) But I just see the first line | 07:41 |
| mosk | (mosk) Syslinux 4.06 edd ... .... Peter Anvin et al | 07:41 |
| acemeister | because it says 64 bit was install will it run slower? | 07:41 |
| mosk | (mosk) No more... don't load anymore... | 07:41 |
| auronandace | acemeister: run slower? what are you talking about? | 07:41 |
| auronandace | acemeister: 64bit can address more ram (above 4gb) | 07:42 |
| L3top | acemeister: type the program followed by the /path/file you want it to open. The difference between 64 bit is that it will run 64 bit programs. It is a different architecture, that mostly just runs 32 bit stuff anyway because so little actually uses 64 bit arch. | 07:42 |
| strk | how do you mix audio from a console in Ubuntu 10.10 ? (alsamixer doesn't seem to work) | 07:42 |

| StarryNight | for 5 years plus i been using only 64 bit cpus | 07:44 |

| StarryNight | yes | 07:44 |
| acemeister | its a 2.4ghz amd | 07:44 |
| L3top | acemeister: smoother, no. | 07:44 |
| acemeister | alright so is there anyway to revert back without installing over it | 07:44 |
| arcwolf | acemeister: the diffrences are omstly academic now anyway | 07:44 |
| acemeister | what do u mean? | 07:45 |
| besTKoDerEverR | thanks guyz.. | 07:45 |
| acemeister | i mean performance wise | 07:45 |
| acemeister | im getting two diff answers i dnt know what to believe | 07:45 |
| L3top | acemeister: if your system is not smooth, it is not because you are running 64 bit | 07:45 |
| acemeister | yeah i know | 07:45 |
| acemeister | its because its a pos | 07:45 |
| acemeister | 960mb of ram | 07:46 |
| acemeister | i mean its smoother than xp | 07:46 |
| arcwolf | acemeister: most of the development from software is moving to x64 anyways... | 07:46 |
| acemeister | which is 32 bit | 07:46 |
| acemeister | oddly | 07:46 |
| L3top | pae 32bit kernel will also address more memory, not that it is your issue. | 07:46 |
| auronandace | acemeister: stop swearing | 07:46 |
| acemeister | what do you mean i kernel? | 07:46 |
| acemeister | the root? | 07:46 |
| acemeister | i didnt swear | 07:46 |
| L3top | I would not reinstall JUST because you have 64 bit installed... it is meant to be an enhancement, not a detriment. | 07:46 |
| acemeister | i used an acroynm | 07:46 |
| arcwolf | Tewlz: the onlything i can think is manualy loading/unloading kernel mods though not sure on how/what in ur case this would do | 07:47 |
| L3top | !pae | acemeister | 07:47 |
| ubottu | acemeister: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 07:47 |
| acemeister | l3top just reinstall over it? | 07:47 |
| L3top | NO | 07:47 |
| acemeister | HOW? | 07:47 |
| jrdnn | acemeister: You don't need 64bit for lots of RAM(PAE does that) the benefit is if you run CPU intensive programs that do math on 64bit types which run faster in amd64 mode than emulated or with MMX, and also loads that can make use of twice as many registers (CPU intensive apps) | 07:47 |
| acemeister | please explain | 07:47 |
| jordan__ | How can I change the mapping of one letter on my keyboard? | 07:47 |
| L3top | Just... leave it alone. It isn't broke. Dont fix it acemeister. | 07:47 |

| arcwolf | PAE = bad | 07:47 |
| PapaSierra | could someone give me a hint why this might happen: "ln: creating symbolic link `pre-commit': Read-only file system" | 07:47 |
| arcwolf | no writing :| | 07:48 |
| acemeister | I want optimal performance if I could just reinstall over the current 64 bit version then why not? | 07:48 |
| jrdnn | PapaSierra: Type mount and look to see if there is "read-only" by the mountpoint relevant | 07:48 |
| L3top | whatever is "broken" isn't due to it being 64 bit. I cannot be clearer. It is not going to be "better" because you install 32 | 07:48 |
| besTKoDerEverR | Can one have 2 ubuntu installations on the same HDD? | 07:48 |
| acemeister | yeah | 07:48 |

| Vamp898 | Hi, when i try to start a Java Application on my 64bit Ubuntu System i get the following error: Running a 64-bit JVM is not supported on this platform. | 08:20 |
| vampirnata | type uname -a | 08:20 |
| vampirnata | what does it say? | 08:20 |

| vampirnata | and java --version? | 08:21 |
| L3top | what iso mosk? | 08:21 |
| vampirnata | sorry, java -version | 08:21 |
| Vamp898 | vampirnata: java version "1.6.0_30" | 08:21 |
| L3top | tokadora: I do not understand how what I gave you could possibly produce that. | 08:21 |

| tokadora | L3top I copied and pasted the command | 08:23 |
| tokadora | I don't know why I got that output | 08:23 |
| Vamp898 | vampirnata: i installed default-jre, isnt that a 64bit package | 08:23 |
| tokadora | I'll come back tomorrow, I | 08:23 |
| tokadora | gotta sleep | 08:23 |
| vampirnata | Vamp898: I believe that's 32bit | 08:23 |
| L3top | sudo aplay -l tokadora? | 08:23 |
| vampirnata | Vamp898: default is 32bit. | 08:24 |
| L3top | ok night. | 08:24 |
| L3top | mosk... can you try putting 1204 on the usb drive with unetbootin? | 08:24 |
| Vamp898 | vampirnata: so the default JRE on a 64bit System is a 32bit? is there any 64bit package in the repository? | 08:24 |
| cntb | will ever pulseaudio serve well skype? skype 4 same mic problem | 08:24 |
| mosk | I'm gonna try | 08:25 |
| vampirnata | Vamp898: not sure, but if you download the jre-6u16-linux-x64.bin and then run sudo ./filename it should install the x64 | 08:25 |
| L3top | cntb: this is not a clear question... first of all... | 08:25 |
| cntb | how t chanke from pulseaudio to alsa mixer and does it solve mic issue in skype? | 08:26 |
| Vamp898 | vampirnata: yeah but then its not tracked by dpkg. In a company environment that would mean no longer supportet by Canonical. Does companies dont need a 64bit Java Package? | 08:26 |
| sveinse | I'm running nvidia drivers off ubuntu-x-swat-x-updates-precise PPA, and recently (with driver 302.17) I have serious problems using both nvidia-settings and disper. They control some of the display aspects but not all. Is this familiar to anyone? | 08:26 |
| vampirnata | Vamp898: I don't know to be honest. I know if you install the JDK you get the 64bit jre. sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk | 08:27 |
| vampirnata | Vamp898: But I'd advise using OpenJDK instead L( | 08:27 |
| Vamp898 | vampirnata: openjdk-7-jdk is installing right now ;) | 08:28 |

| vampirnata | Vamp898: my pleasure :) | 08:30 |
| L3top | I have no idea if it would "fix" skype cntb, but you can sudo apt-get remove pluseaudio... However I am not sure that everything will be particularly fond of this change. A LOT of people use skype, and pulse is installed by default... I am not sure this is the correct solution. Instead why dont you try sudo apt-get install pavucontrol | 08:30 |

| L3top | ok __Hayes__: unset http_proxy | 09:03 |
| fidel | Jihui_Choi: finding out what you might call a mess is the first step | 09:03 |
| fidel | if you dont want to reinstall - then fixing is the way to go - therefor try to understand what is broken - therefore start by describing what issues you really have (would be my way) | 09:04 |
| Jihui_Choi | fidel: well.. I installed many packages and test many things. So I just want to make clean all. back to the beginning. :) | 09:05 |
| Anomie21 | Anyone else finding Pidgin really buggy in ubuntu? (Can't access the buddy list at times, the menu bar stops working, etc) | 09:05 |

| hpuser4455 | My ubuntu 12.04 corrupted after installing games from the repo. First file-roller's fonts messed up, then system fonts. Then it failed to reboot. | 09:05 |
| hpuser4455 | Is there a way to recover the base system files so I can reboot? | 09:06 |
| __Hayes__ | L3top, How do i do that? | 09:07 |
| L3top | Jihui_Choi: cd /var/log/apt look through your history, and sudo apt-get uninstall the things you do not want. | 09:07 |
| hpuser4455 | I installed 12.04 via the non-pae mini cd with lxde desktop. | 09:07 |
| fidel | Jihui_Choi: and what do you expect now? | 09:08 |
| L3top | __Hayes__: exactly like that. unset http_proxy | 09:08 |
| fidel | you are not willing to do a clean install - nor willing to start messing around? | 09:08 |
| ikonia | hpuser4455: you will need to reinstall | 09:08 |
| fidel | option 3 - pay someone & let it be fixed by him ;) | 09:08 |
| ikonia | hpuser4455: if you have lost/corrupted files. | 09:08 |
| geirha | hpuser4455: sounds odd that a game package would do that. The symptoms somewhat resembles what happens when you fill the root fileystem | 09:08 |
| L3top | Jihui_Choi: sudo apt-get remove not uninstall... dont know where my head is this morning. | 09:09 |
| hpuser4455 | geirha..ok..will check my hd space. | 09:09 |
| __Hayes__ | L3top: did that, do I need to reboot? | 09:09 |
| L3top | no __Hayes__ | 09:09 |
| Jihui_Choi | fidel: I think I need something like time-machine. anyway I'm gonna follow L3top's advice | 09:09 |
| __Hayes__ | L3top: It doesn't work, same message again... | 09:09 |
| L3top | __Hayes__: in fact, rebooting will probably bring this env variable back into existence. Figuring out WHAT is setting that will be the next chore | 09:10 |
| Jihui_Choi | thank you both of you :) | 09:10 |
| fidel | Jihui_Choi: timemachine wouldnt help either - if you dont know the moment to restore | 09:10 |
| fidel | Jihui_Choi: advice for the future- consider using some kind of VM for testing things | 09:10 |
| fidel | keeps your main station/box clean and makes you way more flexible | 09:10 |
| fidel | good luck | 09:10 |
| L3top | __Hayes__: sudo -s login and unset it again. then type exit. Though I would expect sudo would simply carry over your current env... I cannot see how this is still occurring. geirha would know though :P | 09:11 |
| Jihui_Choi | fidel: yeah I should've.. actually I did, but now my vps is dirty. I don't know why though | 09:11 |
| geirha | __Hayes__, L3top: By default, sudo will ignore most env variables, including http_proxy. You have to specifically tell it to pass it on via sudoers | 09:12 |
| hpuser4455 | my hd is 18% full. Can i simply re-install the base system while keeping my installed apps? | 09:12 |
| hpuser4455 | so when i re-install, it will overwrite the corrupted packages and keep the rest. | 09:13 |
| L3top | geirha: the problem is... that a proxy has been set, somewhere... and I am trying to get it unset so he can do what he needs to do with regards to a gpg add... then try and figure out what is setting it... and stop it. | 09:13 |
| ikonia | hpuser4455: no, it will re-install the whole OS | 09:13 |
| geirha | hpuser4455: how full your harddrive doesn't necessarily say how full the root partition is | 09:13 |
| __Hayes__ | i did with sudo -s and unset it and same result. | 09:14 |
| hpuser4455 | geirha..actually sda2 which is ubuntu's root is 18%..so plenty of space, according to df -a | 09:14 |
| L3top | geirha: <__Hayes__> ?: invalid HTTP proxy (http://localhost:4001 ): bad URI <L3top>__Hayes__: can you please type env | grep -i proxy and tell me if there is an htttp proxy there? <__Hayes__> http_proxy=http://localhost:4001 | 09:15 |
| geirha | hpuser4455: Ok, then I'd try to get into the system and run dpkg --configure -a to reconfigure all packages that haven't been configured yet. Might help. If not, I'd consider trying dpkg-reconfigure -a too. The latter reconfigures ALL packages, so it'll take quite some time. | 09:16 |
| geirha | __Hayes__: does this output anything? sudo env | grep http_proxy | 09:17 |
| __Hayes__ | geirha: I doesn | 09:17 |
| __Hayes__ | *t | 09:17 |
| geirha | __Hayes__: Then that proxy might be set in apt's config | 09:17 |
| __Hayes__ | that means? | 09:18 |
| L3top | geirha: ok __Hayes__: unset http_proxy so I would expect it to be gone now... | 09:18 |
| geirha | __Hayes__: grep -i proxy /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/* | 09:18 |
| L3top | sorry that was my post to him... and then me saying I expect it is gone now geirha. | 09:18 |
| __Hayes__ | geirha: nothing | 09:19 |
| geirha | Hm. Out of ideas then... | 09:20 |
| L3top | __Hayes__: go ahead and reboot. When you come back we will env | grep -i proxy again. | 09:20 |

| JaymesKeller | Hi, I'm having trouble with installing Ubuntu with my Asus M4N75TD motherboard in AHCI mode. When I attempt to boot a live USB, it hangs on startup, and unfortunatly, I do not see any useful error messages. I have tried a BIOS update, but all that did was fix a APCI error. Are there any solutions avalible to try? As a side note, I have attempted "noahci", but it doesn't help. | 09:28 |
| __Hayes__ | geirha: /etc/environment:HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:4001 # +ANON_MARK+ | 09:29 |
| __Hayes__ | geirha: +ANON_MARK+ Don't change this while anon-proxy manages this variable. | 09:29 |
| haylo | JaymesKeller, not every usb or dvd one makes always works, i would keep trying. But try a different medium ie: different usb, different technique for putting it on usb | 09:30 |

| JaymesKeller | L3top: I have attempted running the install in IDE mode, and it still seems to sulk. | 09:31 |
| geirha | __Hayes__: Anyway, something called anon-proxy has added that to your /etc/environment. I've never heard of it, but if you don't use it anymore, it should be safe to remove it form /etc/environment | 09:31 |
| haylo | JaymesKeller, some bios have "OS install mode disable/enable" look for something like that, and make sure you have boot priority set so usb is at least included | 09:31 |
| IlikeMoose | has anyone ever had any problems with rhythmbox screwing with their cd-rom drive? | 09:32 |
| __Hayes__ | geirha: I cannot install any utility/program/anthing via apt-get it just gets to 0% [waiting for headers] and stuck at it.. | 09:32 |
| geirha | __Hayes__: Well, sounds like you've run this anon-proxy thing at some point, but apparently not anymore, or it's faulty, so remove or comment out those lines. sudoedit /etc/environment | 09:34 |
| L3top | __Hayes__: that is the reason... edit /etc/environment and hash out/remove all of those http_proxy lines | 09:34 |
| JaymesKeller | haylo: Boot priority is on, but I don't see an install mode in the BIOS. | 09:34 |
| haylo | JaymesKeller, also try putting the iso onto the usb directly with cat or dd. all those pen drive tools get kind of iffy | 09:34 |
| JaymesKeller | haylo: I haven't considered that. I will give it a try. | 09:34 |

| Aritz | anyone know similar things like DROPWATCH in ubuntu | 09:37 |
| fidel | Aritz: maybe try to ask for functions - not names | 09:39 |
| fidel | !anyone | 09:39 |
| ubottu | A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 09:39 |
| IlikeMoose | is rhythmbox a good program to use or should i find something else to use for my audio? | 09:40 |
| Aritz | ya function i mean | 09:40 |
| gigix | IlikeMoose: it's a question taste, there's plenty of audio player just pick one, try it, pick another one, try it, and choose :-) | 09:41 |
| fidel | IlikeMoose: users do define good - personaly i dislike it and heavily prefer clementine - but thats just my choice and i bet 100 users inhere will give you 100 other views ;) | 09:41 |
| IlikeMoose | rhythmbox seems to be bugging out on my cd-rom drive | 09:42 |
| IlikeMoose | it'll spin the disc up then won't eject it | 09:42 |
| Aritz | 1info dropwatch | 09:42 |
| gigix | IlikeMoose: if what you're looking for is feedback, then I am personally satisfied with rhythmbox, but also like clementine for its UI | 09:42 |
| Aritz | !info dropwatch | 09:42 |
| ubottu | Package dropwatch does not exist in precise | 09:42 |
| L3top | !poll | which is why this is a factoid | 09:42 |
| ubottu | which is why this is a factoid: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 09:42 |
| IlikeMoose | i installed audacious since it has the old winamp interface which i love and it hasn't crapped out on me yet hopefully | 09:43 |
| gigix | IlikeMoose: so stick with it then... | 09:43 |
| IlikeMoose | sorry for the idiocy, i just installed ubuntu tonight and i'm just starting to get used to it from windows | 09:44 |
| KM0201 | audacious is one of the better music players on linux IMO... under rated for sure | 09:46 |
| KM0201 | i've kinda grown fond of Rhythmbox however. | 09:46 |
| IlikeMoose | i'm running this on a pentium4 with HT on an old hp compaq and rhythmbox really hates my cd-rom drive | 09:48 |
| IlikeMoose | plus it wouldn't play my playlist file from di.fm when i tried to get it to play | 09:49 |
| L3top | IlikeMoose: do you have an ubuntu support question? | 09:52 |
| haylo | IlikeMoose, rythmbox is a suck program. if you need a gui for music use clementine. or play from command line | 09:53 |
| haylo | or just use vlc, for movies and music. your time fooling with GUIs will be better spent on vlc | 09:53 |
| haylo | it is a much more profeesional and protable tool | 09:54 |
| haylo | portable* | 09:54 |
| IlikeMoose | L3top, i think i solved my support problem by uninstalling rhythmbox | 09:55 |
| L3top | Well... welcome to Ubuntu IlikeMoose... but this is why polling is not allowed here, because you get a bunch of people arguing about the thing they like/dislike... and when it is active, it makes it REALLY annoying to scroll through to get info to help people. Chit chat etc should happen in #ubuntu-offtopic. Like I said, not a big deal atm... but still not allowed. | 09:58 |
| IlikeMoose | L3top, sorry i didn't know | 09:59 |
| L3top | just an fyi. Like I said... its no skin off my nose since its dead... but even dead there are approaching 2000 people in this room. If 1/10th of them gave an opinion, it would be unreadable. | 10:00 |
| david__ | what is a server? how do i know if i downloaded the server version of ubuntu or the desktop version? | 10:04 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | I lost a file but still have it somewhere how do i find it i need it? | 10:04 |
| haylo | can you search for it nautilus Nuclear-muffin27 ? | 10:05 |
| haylo | that used to be ubuntus default file manager | 10:05 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | haylo, nautilus? | 10:05 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | how do i searc for it? | 10:06 |
| haylo | yeah, your file manager is called nautilus, it has a search feature that is very robust | 10:06 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | *search | 10:06 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | how do i use it? | 10:06 |
| L3top | david__: what is the name of the iso you downloaded? | 10:06 |
| haylo | just open the file manager and look for the search box. you will be in in nautilus when looking at your home folder etc. . | 10:06 |
| david__ | terribly sorry for my ignorance, but i don't even know what an iso is | 10:06 |

| L3top | david__: The file you download to burn to a cd/usb drive. Ubuntu. The file you downloaded. | 10:07 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | s ohow do i use it to search? | 10:08 |
| qbitza | Hi guys, I stuffed my USB drive | 10:08 |
| === bill is now known as Guest54422 | ||
| L3top | Nuclear-muffin27: there is a box that says search there. Type what you are looking for, and hit search. It is fairly self explanatory. | 10:08 |
| david__ | where do i find the name of my iso? | 10:08 |
| qbitza | I formatted the primary partition with ExtFS4, but didn't update the partition table type | 10:08 |
| L3top | Where did you download it to david__? | 10:08 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | L3top, in dash? | 10:09 |
| david__ | a cd | 10:09 |
| L3top | david__: no. You had to download it before you put it on a cd. | 10:09 |
| david__ | oh, sorry. it must have been in windows....... | 10:10 |
| qbitza | So afterward I did that and now I can't access the partition anymore | 10:10 |
| qbitza | Helppp, please! | 10:10 |
| haylo | qbitza, what partitioning tool are you using ? | 10:10 |
| qbitza | No superblocks can be found :( | 10:10 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | L3top, do i seach in dash? | 10:11 |
| qbitza | I used the disk manager (GUI) to update | 10:11 |
| david__ | is there an easy way to find the name without going back into my windows downloads? i would have to restart my computer to do that, thereby negating the effectiveness of this chat session | 10:11 |
| qbitza | haylo, I also tried diskscan (?) | 10:11 |
| L3top | Nuclear-muffin27: in dash you can type nautilus... in nautilus there will be a magnifying glass in the upper right corner... click it... type the file you are looking for... hit search. | 10:12 |
| haylo | david__, uname -a will give you your kernel, maybe that is what you need ? | 10:12 |
| L3top | david__: The server version of the OS would also probably say it was server. | 10:12 |
| L3top | david__: in the install menu that is | 10:13 |

| Nuclear-muffin27 | L3top, its not there but i had it somewhere its also not in trash | 10:14 |
| david__ | thanks L3top...... | 10:14 |
| haylo | qbitza, what data is on the usb ? yeah when you changed the pertition table, you unlinked all the data | 10:14 |
| L3top | Nuclear-muffin27: what is the name of the file you are looking for? | 10:14 |
| qbitza | haylo, sorry no it's "Disk Utility" (c) Red Hat | 10:14 |
| qbitza | haylo, crud | 10:15 |
| qbitza | haylo, backups, photos, movies ... | 10:15 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | L3top, well i changed the name dont know what happend i changed name and it was gone | 10:15 |
| haylo | qbitza, in the future, keep your partition table intact, think of that as the very begining pages of the book | 10:15 |
| qbitza | haylo, not stuff I want to lose, esp. the photos | 10:15 |
| qbitza | haylo, Is there anything that can rebuild it? | 10:16 |
| haylo | qbitza, then you need to stop messing with and it get it to someone who can recover the data | 10:16 |
| haylo | i think you should duplicate it on another usb, and try your self | 10:16 |
| L3top | Nuclear-muffin27: I have no idea how to help you. Sorry. | 10:16 |
| haylo | you can even make clones of that disk and try different things | 10:16 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | L3top, do you know where i can find help? | 10:17 |
| haylo | PM me, and il terach you how to clone a disk, if you want. its complicated | 10:17 |
| geirha | qbitza: You might have luck with testdisk, though I'd start with making an image of the whole disk with ddrescue first | 10:17 |
| L3top | Not for the problem of "I renamed it something I dont know"... no I dont. | 10:17 |
| haylo | im just a ubuntu user, not a dev, or admin qbitza | 10:17 |
| qbitza | haylo, thanks | 10:17 |
| Nuclear-muffin27 | Does anyone know how to find missing files? | 10:17 |
| klj613 | how do i keep a folder (and its sub files / folders) always be chown kristian:www-data ? | 10:17 |
| L3top | I can find any file... but you have to know what it is called. | 10:17 |
| qbitza | geirha, Tried that, but because it could not locate any superblocks it doesn't want to continue | 10:18 |
| IlikeMoose | question..why is it that the 12.04 desktop install never asked me to set up a root password for the system. if i would have selected a server install would it have made me choose a root password? | 10:18 |
| L3top | qbitza: did you try fsck -f ? | 10:18 |
| geirha | !undelete | qbitza | 10:18 |
| ubottu | qbitza: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 10:18 |
| MonkeyDust | IlikeMoose type !root to find out why | 10:19 |
| IlikeMoose | !root | 10:19 |
| ubottu | 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 | 10:19 |
| qbitza | L3top, Yes, I did - same problem with the superblocks though | 10:19 |
| qbitza | geirha, thanks, I'll go read up on that | 10:19 |
| L3top | qbitza: I would expect the -f to try and fix that. | 10:19 |
| Guest54422 | okay this is going to sound dumb, but what is the linux/ubuntu equivalent to a .exe file? | 10:20 |
| qbitza | L3top, it keeps asking me to use -b <superblock> | 10:21 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest54422 linux has no one equivalent to it | 10:21 |
| Guest54422 | so when im trying to make a shortcut to an application what do i point it towards? | 10:22 |
| qbitza | Thanks guys, let me see if I can get anything done | 10:22 |
| klj613 | i chown a folder, but when i create a new file in the folder, its not the chown i want. how do i solve this? | 10:23 |
| KM0201 | klj613: chown -R ? | 10:23 |
| haylo | Guest54422, any file can be executable in linux. .exe usually stands for binaries that have been compiled for microsoft ( i think) | 10:23 |
| klj613 | KM0201, yes, then i create another new file then i got to do chown again, and again, and again | 10:24 |
| KM0201 | klj613: also, if you're "creating" a new folder or file in a directory, it's going to have whatever permissions are granted the person who is creating it... | 10:24 |
| KM0201 | so if you create it with "sudo"... it's going to be owned by root. | 10:24 |
| klj613 | how do i make it automatically as username:www-data ? | 10:24 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest54422 type /join #ubuntu-beginners, ask there | 10:25 |

| KM0201 | klj613: are you cereating the directory/file from command line? | 10:25 |
| klj613 | KM0201, normally yes | 10:26 |
| klj613 | but dont want to be pernamently root or something like that, i only use sudo when required | 10:26 |
| haylo | sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree or something along those lines is all i ever need | 10:26 |
| kushal_kumaran | klj613: mark the directory setgid using chmod g+s, then newly created files and directories in that directory will inherit the group. No way to do this for the owning user, afaik, only group. | 10:32 |
| daniel2 | haylo: just installed flashplugin-nonfree and still no joy! logged out and back in aswell | 10:33 |

| MetalGodWin | so anyone else who participating in the Ubuntu App Showdown here? | 10:51 |
| MetalGodWin | is part..* | 10:52 |
| dc5ala | DYSW, hmm, you could try shutdown command to turn off computer to see what there is, have a look at the -H parameter | 10:52 |
| MonkeyDust | MetalGodWin there's was another here, with the same question http://developer.ubuntu.com/showdown/ | 10:53 |
| DYSW | dc5ala: thx i will try the help command. Just hoped it was in some logs | 10:53 |
| MetalGodWin | @MonkeyDust Ok, just qurious. :-) | 10:54 |
| nice19 | nyima | 10:54 |
| angs | how can I remove the login password in the startup? | 10:56 |
| DYSW | dc5ala: what ever --XX or -X i add after shutdown all i get is the message "Shutdown: Expected time" no other messages or actions. strange | 10:57 |
| MonkeyDust | angs system settings, user accounts, automatic login | 10:57 |
| dc5ala | DYSW, it wants a time when to shutdown, you can append "now" to it for shutting down immediately, so in total this means "shutdown -H now" | 10:58 |
| daniel2 | MetalGodWin: tried flash aid still nothing | 10:58 |
| DYSW | dc5ala: Thx | 10:58 |
| tewlz | Anyone know why i might be getting permission denied when i "Echo DIGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch". Does this even when i sudo. | 10:59 |
| angs | MonkeyDust: thank you | 10:59 |
| hrezaei | Hi World! | 11:00 |
| MetalGodWin | Daniel2: ok, sorry to hear that. Flash is a pain the *** for sure :-( | 11:00 |
| MetalGodWin | I welcome HTML5 with open arms myself :) | 11:00 |
| DYSW | dc5ala: Now i can see the messages. All are modem-mananger related. "Could not get the system bus" "make sure the message bus daemon is running: Failed to connect to...." | 11:01 |
| daniel2 | is there anything else i can try | 11:01 |
| BluesKaj | Hey all | 11:01 |
| DYSW | dc5ala: since i have no modem just lan these seem to be of no use. wish i could remove them somehow | 11:01 |
| MetalGodWin | If you're after watching youtube-clips.. then you can goto youtube.com/html5 and activate html5. Then you wont need flash for youtube atleast. | 11:01 |
| haylo | daniel2, you may want to recreate the .dot folder on your home folder that has the stored info from your web browser. then when its remade, it might use the now defaut flash a bit better | 11:02 |
| jpds | tewlz: Because the > bit isn't done as root. | 11:02 |
| dc5ala | DYSW, but does not seem to be something to worry about at least, modem-manager likes to spam :P Even when i plugin a serial usb device modem-manager gets excited | 11:02 |
| jpds | tewlz: Do: sudo -i, first, then run that. | 11:03 |
| jpds | tewlz: Or; do: echo DIGD | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch | 11:03 |
| DYSW | dc5ala: still when i deliver this computer to the client he will ask. no need for that. Would still love to get rid of them | 11:03 |
| MetalGodWin | hm, when packaging a deb archive... in the control file under <app>/debian. What section does my app belong to if its a dev. tool? | 11:03 |
| daniel2 | haylo: instructions?? create .folder named what | 11:04 |
| jpds | MetalGodWin: → #ubuntu-motu. | 11:04 |
| tewlz | Awesome thanks jpds. | 11:04 |

| tgary | Hi! I run a latest Ubuntu 64 bit on a 32GB RAM machine. I run a multithreaded process, and in the output of ps the VSZ memory size is 1.1TB for some threads. What does it mean? | 11:22 |
| sulaiman | everytime I start my terminal session, I have to type "source ~/some/path", I tried adding that to bash_rc, but I still require it | 11:22 |

| vak | should the bios_grub partition be the very first partition always?? | 11:23 |
| gnumdk | Hello, i've got many launchers in my unity taskbar, when i run apps without launcher, it's not placed at bottom, any idea ? | 11:23 |
| sulaiman | nevermind, it works | 11:24 |
| Cottus | sulaiman, try adding it to .bash_profile | 11:24 |
| dc5ala | sulaiman, you could try $HOME instead ~ and see if that makes any difference | 11:27 |
| sulaiman | dc5ala, Cottus , It was my mistake, I had entered the wrong path, i fixed it in .bashrc and it worked | 11:28 |

| Bear_ | hi all, I"m trying to install Ubuntu 12.x on an older pc and I keep getting "out of range" error on the monitor. | 11:33 |
| Bear_ | I vaguely recall there being a way to break into a text mode during install | 11:33 |
| szal | Bear_: yes, use the alternate CD | 11:34 |

| MonkeyDust | !text| Bear_ | 11:35 |
| ubottu | Bear_: 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 | 11:35 |

| Guest75028 | hi. im trying to install ubuntu on my thumb drive. i installed the .iso on the drive, and right now im in the "preview" of ubuntu. i went into the "install ubuntu" thing, but i get scared that it's going to install it on my main drive instead of the thumb drive. is there anyway to specify where it goes? | 11:43 |
| wolverine | yes | 11:44 |
| wolverine | click on install | 11:44 |
| wolverine | and then it will ask you for language | 11:44 |
| wolverine | after that it will give you a screen which will have three option | 11:44 |
| wolverine | the last option will say to customize partition | 11:45 |
| wolverine | select it and then you get the partitioning thing | 11:45 |
| wolverine | BTW which ubuntu are you installing | 11:45 |
| wolverine | :D should have asked that first | 11:45 |
| Guest75028 | 12.x | 11:45 |

| daniel2 | can anyone help | 11:50 |
| Guest75028 | i dont know which one of these /dev/ things is my thumb drive | 11:52 |
| dc5ala | Guest75028, maybe the problem is somewhere else when it does not boot from your thumb drive | 11:58 |
| Guest75028 | what could that be? could it be the thumb drive? | 11:58 |
| compdoc | Guest75028, I think you can look at the end of the dmesg log after plugging in the usb stick | 11:59 |
| dc5ala | Guest75028, i have a usb drive here created by start media creator, working fine. You have a boot menu option? e.g. on mine i press F8 on boot | 11:59 |
| dc5ala | Guest75028, then the bios provides a boot menu and i can choose the usb drive | 12:00 |

| lion | how i can make this normally to download from internet? | 13:27 |

| fidel | lion: change your apt-sources | 13:27 |
| lion | how? | 13:27 |
| BluesKaj | crazyandi861, perhaps you can explain your situation , what graphics driver are tying to go back to ? | 13:28 |
| fidel | either using a gui or cli -> /etc/apt/sources.list | 13:28 |
| compdoc | with the gui, if you use Desktop | 13:28 |
| fidel | lion: disable the install CD as source and enable the default online sources - rerun apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and you are most likely done | 13:28 |

| compdoc | lion, try installing the packages with apt-get instead of from that cd backup | 13:45 |
| endiruna | davidbe making the compose key work | 13:45 |
| usr13__ | lion: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | 13:45 |

| rocki34 | that brings me to another problem | 14:00 |

| rocki34 | gives me an error that it's not authorized or something | 14:00 |

| danileigh79 | rocki34: dl the release from the ubuntu page, install it to a usb drive | 14:01 |

| rocki34 | scared to do that after trying to install precise on another computer. it would just give me grub and i had no idea how to make it start up | 14:02 |
| usr13__ | lion: What is the speed of your internet connection? | 14:02 |
| danileigh79 | rocki34: boot to live usb, then use install option, it'll ask if you wanna delete and start fresh or upgrade | 14:02 |
| danileigh79 | rocki34: I've done it on dozens of computers when update-manager wouldn't upgrade the distro | 14:03 |
| lion | 4000 byte for download from ubuntu update manager | 14:03 |
| usr13__ | lion: You need to do: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:03 |
| rocki34 | and it should boot into it immediately? or would i need to type something into grub first | 14:03 |
| tewlz | can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to get unity 3d to work under an onboard intel graphics? | 14:04 |
| danileigh79 | Not grub, go into BIOS/CMOS and change boot order to USB first | 14:04 |
| rocki34 | and do your recommend natty or precise? | 14:04 |

| daniel2 | ok will try | 14:15 |
| danileigh79 | daniel2: chrome comes with a preinstalled flash, firefox usually requires you to compile a flash plugin | 14:16 |

| k1l | or the adobe-flashplugin from the partner repo? | 14:16 |
| daniel2 | danileigh79: yes installed flashplugin-installer | 14:17 |
| danileigh79 | k1l: why install more repos when there's a browser that already comes with native support | 14:17 |
| k1l | danileigh79: why install different browsers if there is an easy solution to install flash correctly? | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | danileigh79, never had to compile a flashplugin for Firefox | 14:18 |

| daniel2 | danileigh79: sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable couldn't find package | 14:19 |
| danileigh79 | k1l: Because forefox is a virus imo... chrome is streamlined, works wonders, and doesn't hog half your system resources like firefox | 14:19 |
| danileigh79 | daniel2: ok, google it, you can install it directly from the page then | 14:19 |

| danileigh79 | hbx: yeah, opera is good, don't like that it's built on presto though | 14:21 |
| k1l | danileigh79: and your information was wrong. there is no chrome in the repos. | 14:22 |
| hbx | majd look at dnsmasq | 14:22 |
| compdoc | majd, there are two ways - add a file named 'tail' to /etc/resolv.conf.d or add a line in /etc/network/interfaces | 14:22 |
| armaan | are there any shortcut keys available while talking on irc. | 14:23 |
| genii-around | armaan: In most clients, hitting TAB after the first few letters of a name usually does autocomplete | 14:23 |
| majd | compdoc: can you give me an example of what i should put in the tail file? | 14:24 |
| danileigh79 | k1l: You know, I'm pretty sure you can't remember everything that comes in the native repos either... When you try something, and it doesn't work, you try something else... | 14:24 |

| rumpe1 | robertzaccour, when you click "print" in most applications, it opens up the configuration dialogue. Check the properties of the selected printer. | 15:34 |
| rumpe1 | robertzaccour, had the same issue a while ago. 2-on-1 is as long active, as long as it's not changed back to 1-on-1. (i think) | 15:35 |
| robertzaccour | rumpe1, what do you mean 2 on 1? | 15:36 |
| daniel2 | usr13__: next option?? | 15:36 |
| danileigh79_2 | daniel2: usr13__ seems to have gone afk | 15:37 |
| rumpe1 | robertzaccour, "full pages instead of just half pages." <- could be 2-on-1, when printing just one page, which gets scaled down, so that two pages could fit onto the sheet | 15:37 |
| robertzaccour | everything looks ok in the settings | 15:37 |

| gutgut | kristen, could be that two apps check your credentials, but the one with the password fails to check against polkit | 16:21 |
| gutgut | kristen, reinstall gnome-keyring and see what happens | 16:21 |
| kristenbb | but I don't want to use gnome-keyring | 16:21 |
| kristenbb | I'll install it anyway for test purposes, but in the end it's not the solution I'm looking for | 16:21 |
| gutgut | kristen, then dont use software that depend on it | 16:22 |
| kristenbb | I didn't mean for svn to depend on gnome-keyring | 16:22 |

| kanupatar | hi guys | 16:23 |
| gutgut | kristen, heres a solution you might use: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=83657 | 16:23 |
| kristenbb | well with gnome keyring it seems to work indeed | 16:24 |
| kanupatar | in my ubuntu (11.10) , my time and other options(shutdown options) in the top right corner become hidden | 16:24 |
| kristenbb | it just opened a window asking me to save my password | 16:24 |
| kristenbb | I don't want this | 16:24 |
| kristenbb | it's not safe, it says so itself. ATTENTION! Your password for authentication realm can only be stored unencrypted, blablabla | 16:25 |
| gutgut | kristen, yes, it creates a keyring for SVN | 16:25 |
| DarkSim | I need some help with HP drivers for Linux, I was looking at hplip.net for HP LaserJet Pro P1102W drivers, I found HP LaserJet P 1102w and HP LaserJet p1102w but none that says pro | 16:25 |
| kanupatar | the exact options were ,time,sound | 16:25 |
| kristenbb | I don't a keyring, I don't even know what it is | 16:25 |
| kanupatar | hello | 16:25 |
| kristenbb | keeping the password in my mind is fine by me, no need to put it somewhere obscure on the computer | 16:25 |
| kanupatar | where is my tabs in the panel / | 16:26 |
| kristenbb | how can I disable this, if removing gnome-keyring brakes svn ? | 16:26 |

| === milind_ is now known as abyss42 | ||
| ffisch | i don't really want to upgrade | 19:48 |
| ffisch | ikonia: why wouldn't it? | 19:48 |
| wNz | ffisch: you could probably compile it | 19:48 |
| ikonia | ffisch: because ubuntu doesn't update packages | 19:48 |
| Pici | rymate1234: 2.8 is not in 12.04 either. | 19:48 |
| ffisch | doesn't ubuntu respect users of older versions? | 19:48 |
| ikonia | ffisch: once a version is released focus is moved to the next release. | 19:48 |
| Pici | !latest | ffisch | 19:48 |
| ubottu | ffisch: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 19:48 |
| ikonia | ffisch: it doesn't update package versions as it's focus is on stability | 19:48 |

| wNz | :| | 19:50 |
| MonkeyDust | ffisch technically it is possible, with high chances of harming your system | 19:50 |

| rymate1234 | lion__, since when doe firefox use java...? | 19:51 |
| wNz | ffisch: whta version of ubuntu are you running? | 19:51 |
| ikonia | ffisch: why upgrade ? | 19:51 |
| rymate1234 | (except as a plugin) | 19:51 |
| ikonia | ffisch: 2.8 is not in 12.04 | 19:51 |

| ffisch | and i want gimp 2.8 | 19:51 |
| lion__ | what? | 19:51 |
| ikonia | ffisch: it's not in 12.04 | 19:51 |
| ffisch | ok... | 19:51 |
| ikonia | ffisch: so you won't get it if you upgrade | 19:51 |
| ffisch | right | 19:51 |

| MonkeyDust | ffisch those are PPAs | 19:52 |
| lion__ | does firefox runs faster by openjdk7? (why?) | 19:52 |
| ffisch | i tried installing it from a private repo once and broke all my png's | 19:52 |
| rymate1234 | lion__, firefox doesn't use java unless it's running a webpage with a java applet in it | 19:52 |
| ffisch | but i fixed it later | 19:52 |
| ffisch | i was just wondering if it would ever be installable on a 11.10 machine | 19:53 |
| ikonia | ffisch: no | 19:53 |
| wNz | ffisch: PM | 19:53 |
| ffisch | ikonia: so i should either upgrade now or later | 19:53 |
| ikonia | ffisch: neither | 19:53 |
| ikonia | ffisch: it won't make a difference | 19:53 |

| nibbler_ | L3top, i have all this, other hd, usb/sata connector... | 20:04 |

| nibbler_ | nadiyama, yes, but it does not work | 20:05 |
| nibbler_ | like nothing showing... think this is broken | 20:05 |
| L3top | I think I would experiment partitioning the drive the way I wanted, and debootstrap the new drive. I would need to look at a couple of things to see if that was even an option.... but in theory it should work. | 20:06 |
| recon_lap | L3top: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot | 20:06 |
| nadiyama | nibbler_, try this: format the pendrive (fat32), and use unetbootin and the iso of ubuntu. I did it yesterday and it works. | 20:07 |

| danileigh79 | usr13__: You there? | 21:16 |
| pranavk | is there any way i can make my process autostart after it gets killed, | 21:17 |
| pranavk | for eg: my process is gettting hanged in between, i know i can correct this but this will take time, for the time being i want it to get started again automatically after it gets terminated by the OS | 21:18 |
| danileigh79 | Installed Xubuntu desktop, Installed GDM for X11server, uninstalled it, ran reconfigure for lightdm, now nothing happens at boot except for the splash screen | 21:18 |
| beandog | pranavk: hanged or quitting | 21:18 |
| pranavk | beandog: quitting you can say,,,, | 21:19 |
| beandog | pranavk: so it's not running at all | 21:19 |
| pranavk | beandog: no its running for quite appreciable time, like for 1 hour and then quits | 21:19 |
| pranavk | and then again if i restart it manually then again it works for 1 more hour | 21:19 |
| pranavk | actually its on cloud..... | 21:19 |
| beandog | pranavk: why is it dying | 21:20 |
| beandog | I guess is the question | 21:20 |
| auronandace | danileigh79: try booting in text mode to see if there is anything helpful | 21:20 |

| pranavk | beandog: i will check into this matter later, right now, i just need a way to restart it again if it dies.. | 21:20 |
| beandog | pranavk: k one sec | 21:20 |
| pranavk | beandog: i am sure there is some bash thing to restart it everytime..... | 21:20 |
| pranavk | or may be something else | 21:21 |
| beandog | pranavk: http://pastie.org/4228025 | 21:21 |

| JokesOnYou77 | I've run out of space in my /boot partition (oops :/) and now I can't upgrade. Can anyone give me a hand? Please see link for terminal readout: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1083489/ | 21:29 |
| JokesOnYou77 | |MUSE|: I'm not sure about by process but vnstat isn't bad for general stuff | 21:30 |
| auronandace | JokesOnYou77: can you remove older kernels? | 21:30 |
| BlouBlou | auronandace: yes, you can, but you should keep one (an older one) | 21:30 |
| auronandace | BlouBlou: he wanted to save space on his boot partition | 21:31 |
| JokesOnYou77 | I tried autoremove but it just ends up asking me to install 3.0.0-22 with -f install which doesn't work because I have no space, it's a never ending loop | 21:31 |
| BlouBlou | auronandace: oh okay | 21:31 |
| JokesOnYou77 | It looks like there are some weird dependency issues going on too, but I haven't messed with too much so I'm not sure why | 21:32 |
| auronandace | JokesOnYou77: dependency issues are usually a result of using things outside of the repos | 21:33 |
| auronandace | JokesOnYou77: or pinning packages | 21:33 |

| JokesOnYou77 | BarkingFish: I've foolishly managed to fill up my /boot partition and now I can't upgrade. When I try apt-get -f install (as the system suggests) it tries to install 3.0.0-22 but it doesn't have space so it aborts and suggests that I remove the 17 and 19 kernels. But when I try to remove those it says I have unmet dependancies so I should use -f install | 21:51 |

Any idea why? ty! | 21:54 |
| BarkingFish | JokesOnYou77, ok - there is an alternative way around this. You could use dpkg -r (packagename) to get rid of them, i'm pretty sure that it doesn't upgrade extra packages on the way | 21:54 |
| JokesOnYou77 | BarkingFish: kk, I'll give it a try | 21:54 |
| BarkingFish | try one first, and then if that works, use it on the others | 21:54 |
| JokesOnYou77 | i can use dpkg -r with a list of packages, right? | 21:54 |

| BarkingFish | or does that fail too? | 22:27 |
| muellisoft | wutang: you compile with -j1 so that it won't get too hot. | 22:27 |
| escott | BarkingFish, then have him purge them as well. if they are still around he can check with apt-file to see if any package claims the files and if not manually remove them | 22:27 |

| BarkingFish | there you go, JokesOnYou77 - follow escott and aurondace and you should be ok | 22:28 |
| Muelli | veryhappy: sure. You must not do "dd" though. Rather use smth like rsync or so. | 22:28 |

| GI_Jack | anyone awake? | 22:37 |
| escott | JokesOnYou77, try dpkg --search /boot/linux-image-VERSION and see if any package is claiming ownership of the file | 22:37 |

| Muelli | GI_Jack: even more important to file a bug and provide a good recipe on how to reproduce it :) | 22:46 |
| escott | JokesOnYou77, as long as you have one that works thats enough. So after you install a new version and verify that everything is working and there arent any crashes you could remove the old one. usually i just let it fill up or get close to full, and then remove all the older ones (the ones that don't match the version shown in uname -a) | 22:47 |

| Artel | Hey, Is anybody here using grub2?? | 22:52 |
| escott | Artel, a couple things. you should specify the partition type (hd0,msdos#) or (hd0,gpt#). you also need a root=??? argument for your vmlinuz line | 22:52 |
| edr456734 | dasy2k1, ok thanks, I will try that | 22:53 |
| Artel | escott: I have that in my pastebin file, unless you mean something else. What should I specify my partition type as if it is ext4? | 22:53 |
| JokesOnYou77 | escott: Thank you so much, this is great. I love this channel :) | 22:53 |
| escott | Artel, i mean the partition table type | 22:54 |
| Artel | escott: It's using the regular MBR table, the one where you can only have 4 primary partitions. So (hd0,msdos6) ? | 22:55 |

| Muelli | Jordan_: you can check the actual memory usage (by both, the virtual machine and the host), i.e. using "top" | 23:23 |
| GI_Jack | virtual machines use a special virtual machine videocard driver | 23:24 |
| GI_Jack | I don't think they dirrectly interact with the hardware, only the host OS | 23:24 |

| jordan_ | GI_Jack, I'm not sure what you mean. | 23:26 |
| L3top | GI_Jack is correct jordan_. it is not using your hw gpu. Chances are something else you have set is a problem. Often other settings are the problem, ie using the system VT hw, configuring multiple processors incorrectly etc. | 23:27 |
| GI_Jack | like gnome, kde, etc.. | 23:27 |
| GI_Jack | and are you running proprietary drivers | 23:27 |

| L3top | ... well easily enough undone jordan_... | 23:44 |
| cihhan | I should check but most probably they are SATA | 23:44 |
| jordan_ | L3top, I know, just saying | 23:44 |
| cihhan | escott: can i check it from an installed ubuntu? | 23:45 |
| escott | cihhan, yeah | 23:45 |
| cihhan | escott: how? | 23:45 |
| * L3top runs win like a rocket on crap laptop HW in vbox. | 23:45 | |
| jordan_ | lol | 23:46 |
| escott | cihhan, figure out what the devices are, and then go from there | 23:46 |
| escott | nick7, server will setup a headless system. desktop will install the gui | 23:47 |
| L3top | escott: in system/motherboard/extended features, what do you have checked? | 23:48 |
| jordan_ | L3top, I'm going to restart now that those other video drivers installed. I'll let you know how it works now. | 23:48 |
| daviddoria | after I add-apt-repository a ppa, do I have to do anything to enable it? I added this ppa https://launchpad.net/~arand/+archive/ppa , then I tried 'apt-get install glc, but it says "unable to locate package glc" | 23:48 |
| cihhan | escott: OK, let me check | 23:48 |
| L3top | jordan: in system/motherboard/extended features, what do you have checked? | 23:48 |
| na-utusan | daviddoria: you need to do apt-get update first | 23:49 |
| Sage | Hi | 23:49 |
| L3top | jordan_: you have the LATEST BLEEDING EDGE video driver avail. Why are you installing video drivers? I said DO NOT do that. | 23:49 |
| jordan_ | L3top, IO AVIC is checked and so is Hardware clock in UTC time. | 23:50 |
| jordan_ | L3top, EFI and pointing device are disabled | 23:50 |
| L3top | jordan_: all you are going to do is create a conflict situation... or downgrade yourself. one sec on other settings. | 23:50 |
| silverghost | hello all i want to make ubuntu look like windows 8 | 23:51 |
| silverghost | how to customize it | 23:51 |
| silverghost | i even cannot change the icons in ubuntu | 23:52 |
| L3top | jordan_: IOAPCI is not likely useful and can cause conflicts. You have also probably tried to enable 3d accel in video... you have just tweaked this thing into sluggishness. On your hw this should run brilliantly. | 23:52 |
| silverghost | how to change the themes | 23:52 |
| jordan_ | L3top, I know, it worked amazing on windows. | 23:52 |
| jordan_ | L3top, I've disabled ioapci and 3d video accel, i'll see how that goes | 23:53 |
| jordan_ | very slow | 23:53 |
| daviddoria | na-utusan, cool, thanks | 23:53 |
| L3top | jordan_: I would try and follow a guide. Unfortunately a lot of these things once a thing is selected, other things get checked by default, and unselecting them does not fix the dependency checks, which are often at the root of the problem. | 23:54 |
| nick7 | escott: does the gui introduce a lot of overhead? | 23:54 |
| escott | nick7, yes and no | 23:55 |
| nick7 | escott: ? | 23:55 |
| cihhan | escott: i just checked and yeah they are sata | 23:55 |
| jordan_ | L3top, yeah i'll have to try. it's been so long since i've used linux and just built this pc all state of the art and just not very pleased with the performance so far :/ | 23:56 |
| L3top | One thing to keep in mind with linux... it is usually a little behind the curve... the latest and greatest typically means unsupported pieces as nobody has had opportunity to get their hands on it and write for/test. | 23:57 |
| MattQC | Hello | 23:59 |
| Dr_willis | hmm | 23:59 |
