| Dr_willis | !java | 00:01 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 00:01 |

| dax | nibblyn: does connecting to chat.freenode.net work? | 00:35 |
| wolter | Jordan_U, http://dpaste.com/768812/ I installed virtualenvwrapper but I don't know why it hooks itself to such a primal action as sudo -s | 00:36 |
| agoodm | used mcelog to decode the mce's and they suggest that im hitting the max temp and therefore its throttling... I think this is expected behaviour? The cpu is turbo boosting... | 00:36 |
| nibblyn | dax: nope | 00:37 |
| dax | nibblyn: Odd. 32.1.8.32 isn't a freenode server address, so it sounds like there's a DNS problem somewhere. Try plugging in a specific freenode server (e.g. pratchett.freenode.net) for right now, and retry chat.freenode.net or irc.ubuntu.com in a few days. | 00:39 |
| dax | (using a specific server will cause issues if the server goes down, so you probably want to switch back to the original address at some point, and hopefully this is just a temporary issue) | 00:39 |
| wolter | when I run sudo -s I get an error related to virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader file, how can I remove this? This is the error message http://dpaste.com/768812/ | 00:39 |
| nibblyn | dax: yep, you are right. UFF damn dns servers. again. thanks, will investigate that. | 00:41 |
| dax | nibblyn: if it ends up being non-temporary, and you figure out it's not a local issue (i.e., your ISP is being silly, or we screwed something up on our end), feel free to drop by #freenode and give us a heads up, btw | 00:42 |
| nibblyn | dax: my ISP dns servers are not realiable, even if the company is the biggest national broadband provider. Have to check if I'm actually on freedns or not. thanks for your catch! | 00:46 |

| Jordan_U | wolter: What if you just run "sudo true"? If you don't get an error then then it's probably hooking into .profile or similar rather than sudo itself. | 00:50 |

| D-Chymera1 | hi guys - how do I split a cue files in individual tracks? | 01:25 |
| Debolaz | linuxjones: I've never tried doing it, but I suspect the easiest approach is going to be to create a partition thats large enough to hold the ubuntu iso, or whatever CD image you want to use for recovery, then tell grub to boot from it. | 01:25 |

| escott | Jon--, intel HDA? | 02:13 |
| histo | ctm54_: well if you're shure the cable and router are okay then the card must be faulty | 02:16 |
| starredsteria | histo: Yep.. using from the CD... XP 86 version. (none of the others work anyway) | 02:16 |
| ctm54_ | histo so if i buy another wireless card it will work? it can't be an issue of my router not talking to machine correctly somehow? | 02:17 |
| starredsteria | histo: do you think setting a manual address work? I know I couldn't connect at all when disabling ipv6.... | 02:18 |
| histo | ctm54_: or possibly your router isn't setup for dhcp and when you specified and ip it was outside the subnet | 02:18 |
| starredsteria | I'm about ready to scrap the wifi card and get a new one :( | 02:18 |
| histo | ctm54_: there are plenty of issues it "could" be. I would try another machine connected the router. Or slap another nic in your machine and try that. | 02:18 |

| whit3b0y | I don't even know of a name of one...whats most popular or easiest to setup? | 02:26 |
| escott | Lirth, the error message indicates that you have enabled holds on certain packages. unless thats incorrect you would need to disable those holds | 02:26 |
| Lirth | escott: I don't know how to enable the holds nor how to disable the holds. How would I go about that? | 02:26 |
| escott | whit3b0y, the most common proxy is squid | 02:26 |
| Jon-- | plus capture is recording isn't it? | 02:27 |
| escott | !pinning | Lirth | 02:27 |
| ubottu | Lirth: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 02:27 |
| whit3b0y | Will Squid allow me to mask the fact my second apache is running on port 81? | 02:28 |
| escott | whit3b0y, im sure it can | 02:28 |
| Lirth | escott: I don't even know what I have holds on. How would I find that out? | 02:29 |
| escott | Lirth, read the link ubottu sent you on pinning. if you dont have anything held then its something else about that package configuration | 02:29 |
| starredsteria | histo: lol it happens | 02:30 |
| escott | Jon--, nothing you do in alsa is going to make a difference. you need to tell the kernel with a module argument to assume a different board layout, or tweak the layout with hda_analyzer | 02:30 |
| histo | infinitux: you wanted to use the system wide flash plugin instead of one in your ~/.mozilla/plugins | 02:31 |
| Jon-- | escott, Well that just sounds lovely. I have hda analyzer open, just try enabling/disabling layouts until I find it? | 02:31 |
| histo | infinitux: righT? | 02:31 |
| Lirth | escott: How would I tell if I've put a hold on anything | 02:31 |
| === |_ocke3 is now known as |_ocke | ||
| escott | Jon--, the easiest way to do this is to boot your old kernel. run hda_analyzer in monitor mode, and see what it changes when you plug in your headphones. then you can boot the new kernel and apply those changes to the pins to make it switch | 02:33 |
| Jon-- | escott, I think I removed my old kernel. That's going to be a pain in the ass. | 02:33 |
| Jon-- | escott, Should I notice a diff in monitor mode if I plug/unplug with this kernel setup? I get no change in the GUI or in my CLI output here, but I do get audio out. | 02:34 |
| escott | Jon--, depends. it might be seeing the press detect and enabling the headphone jack but not disabling the speakers in which case you just need to find the speaker pin and turn it off. or it might be missing the press detect entirely in which case you have to find both pins | 02:35 |
| Jon-- | escott, I'm a developer, relatively new to Linux I suppose, and confused as hell. Very few pins even have enable/disable options in hda... -_-'' | 02:36 |
| Jon-- | by pins do you mean nodes? | 02:36 |
| Jon-- | Nevermind, I'm being dumb. I'll get back to you in 5ish. | 02:37 |
| escott | Jon--, the headphone jack pin is the easiest to find because it will have a press detect capability. im pretty sure they were called pins, been a long time since i've looked at the gui | 02:37 |
| === Neurotiquette is now known as mdpatrick | ||
| Jon-- | escott, I've found the pin for my headphones but it does not offer the ability to disable, if I untick out, it still plays fine.... | 02:39 |
| escott | Jon--, its been so long since ive looked at that gui. i think there is an output checkbox | 02:40 |
| starredsteria | histo: ... omg.... Trendnet didn't list any update to the driver... sure enough though when I installed the one from the website instead of the one from the cd... it working great so far! | 02:40 |
| Jon-- | escott, There's IN OUT and HP, and they don't seem to be doing anything at all. | 02:40 |
| escott | Jon--, you could change what input it has selected. i know it can be done, i just dont know whats on the screen. if you want to post a screenshot | 02:41 |
| Jon-- | escott, Those checkboxes are the only editable part for my headphones, some other pins have volume sliders and other things. | 02:41 |
| Jon-- | escott, I'd love to, except gnome-screenshot completely broke on upgrade to 12.04. I have a ticket in. Ubuntu has so many bugs after upgrading -_- | 02:42 |
| doofy | anyone have suggestions on the easiest way to get ubuntu installed on my macbook pro with gfx switching for the 2 cards in the easiest way possible? I can't seem to put all of the different pieces together (EFI boot, gfx switching, etc) | 02:43 |
| Jon-- | It doesn't save to ~/Pictures as it is supposed to due to upstream changes, does not prompt me to save screenshot, nor does it copy anything to clipboard. I created a bug report a month ago, not a single person has responded. I'm not pleased with 12.04 so far, to say the least. | 02:43 |

| semitones_irssi | hello! new to this channel here -- I was just wondering if you can use fsck to check every partition it can find on a disk? I've only used it to check individual partitions before... thanks! | 03:19 |
| semitones_irssi | with this nick anyway :) my quassel is down | 03:19 |
| coolpro | when I turn on a pc, I get the error; i386_start_kernel+0xa9/0xb0 can anyone explain, why? | 03:20 |
| usr13__ | semitones_irssi: You have to tall fsck which partitions to check. See: man fsck | 03:20 |
| uw | so i have apache installed and working, however i would like the contents of certain directories visiable. anybody know how i would go about doing that? | 03:20 |
| uw | is it just a permissions thing or something else | 03:21 |
| usr13__ | semitones_irssi: Actually, you can use the -A option. | 03:22 |
| usr13__ | semitones_irssi: with the -A option, fsck will default to checking filesystems in /etc/fstab serially. | 03:23 |
| usr13__ | semitones_irssi: I've never done it that way, so I dono, but what I will tell you is that the partition(s) should not be mounted when you rnu fsck against them. | 03:24 |
| nenicholas | If I have an e-mail worm...do I have to close my e-mail account and open a new one? To stop the e-mails being sent out from my account? | 03:24 |

| L3top | It is certainly possible, but far from guaranteed Rikun. There are tools on both sides of the fence which can help. | 04:11 |
| L3top | However in linux you can force it to mount... but it might not be the best approach Rikun. | 04:12 |
| Rikun | Really? If there's a Windows tool I can use I'd love to hear it. | 04:12 |
| L3top | check in ##windows Rikun. | 04:13 |

| [flux] | I have a live disc, can someone tell me how to go about it? | 04:51 |

| andrewh192 | [flux]: i am not sure to be honest, never really had to do that. But i think u might also be able to go to the update center and it should give you a list of ways to upgrade to 12.04 as well.. not that much experience with upgrading to a new version myself but that would seem like a good place to start | 04:53 |
| [flux] | Ah okay | 04:54 |

| grendal | it is very bazar | 06:06 |
| grendal | oh oh and a huge one for me..i use quanta plus..well i use to | 06:08 |

| grendal | anyway..anybody on how to get quanta plus installed on a 1204 gnome desktop? | 06:11 |

| jrdnn | Guest80581: It should start with da, if not unplug your thumb drive, refresh the list, see which entry is gone,. plug it back in, refresh, install to that entry | 06:18 |
| Guest80581 | would it be bad if the "preview" version is -on- the thumb drive? | 06:20 |
| jrdnn | Guest80581: That would probably crash then, unless it loaded everything to memory :/ | 06:21 |
| Guest80581 | hhmm.. | 06:22 |
| Guest80581 | after this vid, ill try it | 06:22 |

| gvandeweyer | is it possible to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.37+ on an ubuntu-10.4-lts server? I have an amd 6276 running but performance is low due to only basic support by the kernel. | 07:25 |
| gvandeweyer | and I'd rather not upgrade to 12.04 before the launch of 12.04.1-lts | 07:25 |
| auronandace | gvandeweyer: you can upgrade the kernel but you will lose support | 07:25 |
| gvandeweyer | auronandace: that is by manual download and compile then? apt-get linux-headers are blocked at a lower version | 07:26 |
| auronandace | gvandeweyer: yes, or by ppa but if you do we can't help you, it is unsupported | 07:27 |
| gvandeweyer | hmm | 07:27 |
| gvandeweyer | and would it be safe to install 12.04-lts yet ? (by cd/usb/image) | 07:28 |
| auronandace | gvandeweyer: sure, works great here | 07:28 |
| gvandeweyer | auronandace: and then I'd still have lts support? dist-upgrade does not give support untill release of 12.04.1 | 07:28 |
| auronandace | gvandeweyer: i always fresh install (never upgrade, too much can go wrong) | 07:28 |
| auronandace | !dist-upgrade | gvandeweyer | 07:29 |
| ubottu | gvandeweyer: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 07:29 |

| usr13__ | bonno: If it is just one line, highlight and hit middle mouse button. If not use pastebin or install and use pastebinit | 09:05 |
| bonno | i right click and there is not option copy.. (i wanna copy what you wrote for example) | 09:05 |
| === Lloir|zZzZz is now known as Lloir | ||
| bonno | how do i do that? pastebin? | 09:06 |
| usr13__ | bonno: Use the mouse to highlight what you want to copy. | 09:06 |
| usr13__ | bonno: When you get to where you want to dump it, hit middle mouse button. | 09:07 |
| bonno | middle mouse button works for a line.. but for many lines it shows some wierd chars on the paste | 09:07 |
| usr13__ | works for me... I dono | 09:07 |
| usr13__ | bonno: But you could do Alt-c and Alt-v maybe... | 09:07 |
| usr13__ | Sorry Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v | 09:08 |
| bonno | didnt thought of that lol | 09:08 |
| bonno | oh..its the same with middle mouse button anyway thanks | 09:08 |
| usr13__ | bonno: I was wrong, it's not Alt It is Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v | 09:08 |
| bonno | yeah mater i know the combo..thanks anyway :) | 09:09 |
| usr13__ | bonno: Well, not totally, there are uses for one or the other. The methods are similar but a little different in what you can do with them. | 09:09 |
| bonno | what are you refering to? | 09:10 |
| usr13__ | bonno: Well, for instance, if you want to get two sections of text from two different places at once: Hightligh one section, do Ctrl-c Highlight another section. Go to where you want to dump, Ctrl-v will dump the first, middle mouse button will dump the second. | 09:11 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest87398 | ||
| usr13__ | bonno: But you would have to do it in that order, (Ctrl-v first and then must highlighting text second, because each time you highlight text, you will be able to dump the last highlighted text with middle mouse button). | 09:12 |
| === Guest87398 is now known as Nathan_S | ||
| bonno | so you say cntl+c and middle mouse button are different functions? | 09:13 |

| bekks | Same process, different clipboards. | 09:14 |
| bonno | i get it :) thanks different functions .same job :p | 09:14 |
| bonno | oh..ok | 09:14 |
| usr13__ | But as you can see, if you master how the work, it adds a bit of functionality to your ability to transfer text from one place to another. | 09:14 |
| usr13__ | how *they* work. (typo) | 09:15 |
| usr13__ | bonno: Yea, bekks puts it more plainly / concise, "Same process, different clipboards" | 09:16 |
| sassas123 | jthan: here you are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1084160/ | 09:16 |
| bonno | thanks man | 09:16 |
| usr13__ | bonno: But sometimes, when you are dumping to a terminal window with middle mouse button, you may have to use shift key. (And Ctrl-v does not work there, so...) | 09:17 |
| bonno | cntl +zhift +c/v works though :p | 09:18 |
| bonno | *shift | 09:18 |
| usr13__ | bonno: For instance if you are dumping text into the vim editor in a terminal window... I think you will need to use shift | 09:18 |

| robinp | If I have 8 GB of ram - how important is it to have a swap partition - using it for general use and a little developing …. | 11:06 |
| drigollier | hi waxkel, what's news ? | 11:06 |
| waxkel | No news for the moment | 11:06 |
| bekks | robinp: Without swap, you cant hibernate at all. | 11:06 |
| robinp | bekks: ok, so kinda important for a laptop - but not so much for a desktop (usually left on) | 11:07 |
| bekks | robinp: For energy saving reason, I am hibernating my desktop when I'm not at home. | 11:08 |
| robinp | bekks: ok so if I have an 120G SSD and a 750GB HDD - what size and where should I looking at putting my swap (on a Core 2 MacBook Pro) | 11:10 |
| Ragnareg | hi to all | 11:10 |
| BluesKaj | robinp, how much RAM ? | 11:11 |
| robinp | 8GB | 11:11 |
| kanliot | i can't find out if i'm running fglrx or not. it says not installed. please help | 11:11 |
| BluesKaj | no swap needed IMO , robinp | 11:11 |
| robinp | I'm going to attempt to set it up to triple boot | 11:11 |
| bekks | BluesKaj: For hibernation, there is always swap needed. | 11:12 |
| bekks | robinp: I'd put 8GB swap on the 750GB HDD. For hibernation. | 11:12 |
| kanliot | i would never install without swap even if it's only 400MB | 11:12 |
| BluesKaj | bekks ..why hibernate | 11:12 |
| robinp | does the swap therefor need to be 8 GB (to accommodate a 1-to-1 copy of the RAM) ? | 11:13 |
| LarsN | If I have two ubuntu 12.04 servers running apache. and i want to be able to keep the webroot folders in sync bi-directionally between the servers what solutions would you all suggest? | 11:13 |
| bekks | BluesKaj: Why not? | 11:13 |
| bekks | robinp: Yes. | 11:13 |
| BluesKaj | 8G is plenty for hibernation | 11:13 |
| BluesKaj | RAM that is | 11:13 |
| === MartinS is now known as Guest94697 | ||
| bekks | BluesKaj: Having 8GB RAM, 8GB swap is needed for hibernation. Else, there's the risc that you are using more RAM than you have swap and you cant hibernate anymore. | 11:14 |
| LarsN | bekks, BluesKaj: this is why it "used" to be common practice to set swap at 2x RAM | 11:14 |
| bekks | BluesKaj: hibernation means suspend to disk aka swap, standby means suspend to RAM. | 11:14 |
| bekks | BluesKaj: Dont mix that up please. | 11:14 |
| LarsN | bekks, BluesKaj: of course now that everyone has a million gigs of ram..... :) | 11:14 |
| fabian__ | Hello everybody! | 11:15 |
| bekks | LarsN: I've got 16GB and 8GB in my hosts. :) | 11:15 |
| oCean | LarsN: aside from using a shared filesystem such as NFS or GlusterFS, I would suggest using rsync to synchronize | 11:15 |
| LarsN | bekks: most the production servers are > 96G now :) | 11:15 |
| root_348 | hi | 11:15 |
| LarsN | oCean: can rsync take care of bidirectional synchronization? | 11:15 |
| LarsN | oCean: or do i need to set aside one machine as an admin server. | 11:16 |

| === root_348 is now known as thothstriangle | ||
| LarsN | bekks: I was referring to my production servers. | 11:16 |
| bekks | LarsN: Only production servers with a usage requirement for much RAM do have much RAM. | 11:16 |
| bekks | Like virtualization hosts. | 11:16 |
| LarsN | bekks: s/most the production/most of my production/g | 11:17 |
| LarsN | happier? | 11:17 |
| bekks | yes :) | 11:17 |
| robinp | see thinking about it - does the laptop hibernate when it runs low on power - like where does OS X put the RAM image (since it doesn't have swap) | 11:17 |
| bekks | robinp: when configuring your laptop to do so, it will do so. | 11:17 |
| LarsN | oCean: have you used GlusterFS at all? | 11:18 |
| BluesKaj | well , I don't use a laptop or hibernation , but never seen my swap space used | 11:18 |
| oCean | LarsN: the rsync command/script can reside on any of the webservers. It is able to push or retrieve updated files. rsync has many options, also able to run over ssh etc. Quick search shows a basic example: http://jessesanford.blogspot.nl/2009/09/use-cron-and-bash-script-rsync-to.html | 11:18 |
| LarsN | oCean: it looks like i might be able to set up a "mirror" between the two (or more) servers. | 11:18 |
| oCean | LarsN: only in a test setup. But I'm very impressed with gluster | 11:18 |
| oCean | LarsN: RedHat bought gluster, and now it is called RedHat Storage I think. You can setup mirrorred or distributed storagemembers | 11:19 |
| bonno | can i join this channel or any other form a browser? new on irc and dont know ow to find faq and wiki's ..please help | 11:19 |
| LarsN | oCean: Gluster was going to be my sledgehammer solution to this problem. the current solution is a hosts file entry, and an: rsync -av -e ssh... from that host to the slave(s) | 11:19 |
| BluesKaj | I lied , I do have a laptop , but never use hibernation on it | 11:19 |

| kristenbb | hi, I have a problem to connect to my ssh server. It says 'shared connection to myserver closed'.

| BluesKaj | bekks, my apologies for recommending no swap, I didn't realize that "hibernation" meant writing to the swap file from RAM ,and then turning the power off. Hibernation to me means a lower level of power keeping the memry powered up and active .

| BluesKaj | just use | 11:56 |
| imanc | BluesKaj: just ubuntu, I think | 11:56 |
| imanc | BluesKaj: I'm not entirely sure yet - it may be worth me leaving win7 here. But I'd tend to only use win7 for testing purposes (in browsers), so I'd probably just run it through virtualbox, hence thinking I may be better to just run ubuntu | 11:56 |

| maomao | me too | 11:59 |
| MonkeyDust | imanc what BluesKaj says, it's easier in the long term | 11:59 |
| LarsN | SimonJai: I'm not 100% sure but you might even be able to configure that in the ntp client. | 11:59 |
| imanc | OK, here's the deal… I guess. I don't care about win7 at all. But I have a fairly large hard drive and if it's quicker to just leave it in place, then so be it. But if it's actually quicker to remove it, then even better. | 11:59 |

| BluesKaj | imanc, well , that's your decision , but either way DL an ubuntu iso/image and burn it to media first. Also if you wish to dual boot gparted livecd is agood way to setup your partitions for windows and ubuntu . If your'e not familaier with partitioning , suggest you do some reading /research | 12:03 |

| BlouBlou | lion: okular, but it will install kde librearies | 12:04 |
| BlouBlou | libraries* | 12:04 |
| nag_ | ljl: thnx | 12:05 |
| narayana | imanc: avoid installing with wubi if you're going to work on ubuntu primarily. if win7 is screwed, so might your linux. Create separate partitions for linux, and install using the live cd/usb | 12:05 |
| imanc | BluesKaj: thanks. I don't have any media to stick the iso on, but it seems like the simplest option, so i'll go out and buy a usb drive | 12:05 |
| imanc | narayana: thanks; makes sense. | 12:05 |
| lion | thank you but I want to use gnome................... | 12:05 |
| lion | can you say 3 anothers? | 12:05 |
| BlouBlou | lion: it works fine with gnome, it just will use qt under gnome | 12:05 |
| BluesKaj | imanc, cds are easier to use for installation and have fewer problems | 12:05 |
| narayana | lion: xournal is nice, so is pdfedit but the latter is more work | 12:06 |

| ahhughes | how the &*(#@# do you close Banshee? I go media, close... and it minimizes and continues to play, there is nothing in the task bar, only if I expand the sound/speaker icon in the top rhs of screen. | 12:13 |
| feisar | how would I open a port range for one specific IP address (interface) using ufw? | 12:13 |
| MonkeyDust | feisar my guess: udp is used for streaming media (among others), and that isnt allowed by the filter | 12:13 |
| ahhughes | I can only pause | 12:13 |
| erinaceus_ | ahhughes: ctrl+q ? | 12:14 |

| ahhughes | reboot | 12:15 |
| MonkeyDust | feisar isnt that an ip-tables thing? | 12:15 |
| feisar | MonkeyDust: ultimately yes it's IP-Tables but I'm using UFW to make the rules | 12:16 |
| BluesKaj | feisar, does your router/modem have application support in tcp/udp ports? if so you might try that option | 12:16 |
| feisar | BluesKaj: my router does yes but I need to sort out the firewall on the ubuntu server first | 12:17 |
| MonkeyDust | feisar there's also gufw | 12:17 |

| erinaceus_ | So noone has an opion to my question? | 12:18 |
| OerHeks | erinaceus_, i think your 24 gb ssd will work as a normal systemdisk | 12:19 |
| bekks | erinaceus_: We have no clue how the SSD in your laptop is wired. | 12:19 |
| BluesKaj | feisar, if you enable the application support in your router , most will then block all other ports except those you choose to open for your apps | 12:19 |
| erinaceus_ | OerHeks: Thx, that's what i wanted to hear ;) | 12:19 |
| bekks | And a 24GB SSD is most likely supposed to be used as Intel-Whatever-Fast-Cache, and cant be used as a native SSD. | 12:20 |

| feisar | BluesKaj: I need to resolve the issue I have on this Ubuntu server, not on my router but thanks | 12:20 |
| BluesKaj | feisar, I was merelyhinting that you have dual FWs running in your case | 12:21 |
| feisar | BluesKaj: oh right, sorry, I misunderstood. How/why would I have two firewalls running on an Ubuntu Server install? | 12:22 |
| BluesKaj | one on the router if you have application support enabled and UFW | 12:22 |

| BluesKaj | uhoh ...problems here ... telephone co is outside , gonna lose internet service for 15mins or so, or so I'm told | 12:25 |

| fidel | man | 13:44 |
| BlueEagle | lion: Just a wild guess: Click the comment button, click on the document where you want to add the comment, enter comment. | 13:45 |
| BlueEagle | lion: If that doesn't work try clicking the "Help" lable in the menu bar. | 13:45 |
| lion | aha thanks | 13:46 |
| fidel | BlueEagle: seems like they ship a button - but not a working one | 13:46 |
| fidel | at least i wasnt able to use it within 30 sec so i removed the entire package again as i dont see a reason to have it installed in the first place to be honest | 13:46 |
| fidel | lion: either write a mail to adobe and wait for ever without getting a reply - or search a solution yourself. best solutiuon is most likely choosing something not crappy as adobe itself as alternative reader | 13:47 |

| musa | hello, I have upgraded my kernel to 3.4.4 under 12.04 using dpkg -i. How do I downgrade back to official kernel? Is it safe to do dpkg -r? | 13:50 |
| OerHeks | nice logolaas /lion to change your name ... | 13:51 |
| bekks | musa: After ensuring you have another kernel installed, yes. | 13:51 |
| legolaas | only answe this | 13:52 |
| legolaas | who is lion? | 13:52 |
| BlueEagle | K1rk: First let me commend you on an excellent help request. Secondly the massive amount of collisions indicate a speed issue. This may be a NIC running at 1000MBPS on one end and 100MBPS on the other. I had this issue when transferring more than a few consecutive MB and it was caused by a faulty cable. | 13:52 |
| legolaas | oerHeks: are u ok? | 13:52 |
| OerHeks | legolaas lion check it out yourself, i gave a link some minutes ago : ocular comments are only visible in ocular. | 13:52 |
| haylo | what parts of linux are written in C ? is it mostly the kernel and maybe the installers ? | 13:53 |
| OerHeks | legolaas it is not done changing your name while you get help. | 13:53 |
| musa | bekks: well I had the official kernel prior to dkpg install | 13:53 |
| BlueEagle | K1rk: I am making the assumption that you are receiving an IP address from a DHCP-server of sorts. Is this from the ISP or from a router in your house? Does resetting the router resolve the issue? Also, have you experienced this issue with other operating systems on the same computer? | 13:53 |
| legolaas | tnx bye | 13:53 |

| moes | I have 10.04 installed with grub 2 to mbr...I also have 2 other distro booting from 10.04 grub2...now I want to add 12.04 to a partition and boot it from 10.04 grub...To what partition do I install grub 2 in 12.04 ??? | 14:00 |
| K1rk | BlueEagle, I have not really used any other operating system on this computer, however we have 200 of them. I am using 3 for testing. Of the 3 I left on last night, 2 exhibit this issue this morning. We are a corporate network with a Windows DHCP server and all Cisco switches\equipment. So I'm ruling out the network as a cause. | 14:01 |
| brainwave | I have an ubuntu headless | 14:01 |
| brainwave | with xfce desktop | 14:01 |
| usr13__ | K1rk: Try another NIC ? | 14:01 |
| brainwave | What i need is, when i try to ssh into it, the x11vnc creates a display | 14:02 |
| kokjo | hi im having problems with ssh and ipv6. i have setup a server with a ipv6 tunnel from he.net, and a client running miredo. i can connect to the server over ipv6(via nc). but i can't login to the server via ssh over ipv6. can anybody help me? | 14:02 |
| brainwave | and i am presented with login screen | 14:02 |
| K1rk | usr13__, it's a netbook. I suppose a USB nic would be possible but otherwise... | 14:02 |
| usr13__ | O | 14:02 |
| BlueEagle | K1rk: That would also rule out faulty cabling (unless both the ones with the issue have faulty cables and that makes no odds). Is there any events on the windows DHCP server that can indicate when/what caused the loss of lease? Anything useful in /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/dmesg ? | 14:03 |
| BlueEagle | K1rk: Ofcourse a driver issue in linux may be just as likely, but then I do not see why the 3rd one didn't also go hay-wire. | 14:04 |
| K1rk | BlueEagle, it doesn't seem like a loss of lease to me. The interface disappears from network manager. If it were a loss of lease, I would expect to be able to renew the lease. | 14:04 |
| usr13__ | K1rk: Maybe an IP conflict. Do you have any static IPs within the DHCP pool? | 14:04 |
| usr13__ | if so, move them outside the pool | 14:05 |
| BlueEagle | usr13__: Did you even read the forum post? | 14:05 |
| dpy | hi guys | 14:05 |
| K1rk | usr13__, we do have statics and reservations but the DHCP server is working great for hundreds of other computers. Also an IP conflict wouldn't cause the interface to disappear from Network Manager Gnome, I don't think. | 14:05 |
| K1rk | I think I agree with BlueEagle that it's a driver issue. I downloaded the latest driver from http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtreme_desktop.php and I am going to compile it this morning. | 14:05 |
| popo | selam | 14:06 |
| popo | [tr]hi | 14:06 |
| usr13__ | BlueEagle: Yes | 14:06 |
| dpy | doesn anyone know of you can skip a particular dkms build for a particular kernel? I have three kernels here, for one the DKMS build fails, so it fails for all. | 14:06 |
| BlueEagle | K1rk: Are you all IP6? | 14:06 |
| wooo | <wooo> what will happen if in extras-myapp.desktop i will make terminal =true? | 14:06 |
| BlueEagle | wooo: Make a backup of the file and try it. If it no longer works then restore the backup. | 14:07 |
| kokjo | \join #linux-net | 14:07 |
| usr13__ | K1rk: Are these static IPs set by the DHCP server? Or are they hard coded into the individual PC's config files? | 14:07 |
| K1rk | BlueEagle, no we're a flat IPv4 network, a /16 | 14:07 |
| K1rk | usr13__, static IPs are not set by DHCP server but they aren't in the DHCP pool range. 10.9.1.x is reserved for static assignment. 10.9.6.x through 10.9.19.x are pool. 10.9.20.x are reservations. | 14:08 |
| K1rk | usr13__, "reservations" are my way of saying the static is assigned by DHCP | 14:08 |
| K1rk | 10.9.1. are servers and hence cannot rely on DHCP. | 14:08 |
| lion | how i can use "HUD" on KDE desktop | 14:08 |
| BlueEagle | K1rk: If you look at the output you will see that the NIC has got no IP4 address. It does however have an IP6. Not sure if it should matter, but there ought to be a setting to disable IP6 on the NIC and that may help. | 14:08 |
| K1rk | Especially since one of them is the DHCP server. :P | 14:08 |
| usr13__ | K1rk: Maybe change to /24 ? | 14:08 |
| K4k | I restarted my system today and after reboot, nm-applet does not start at login any more. I've checked under startup applications and it was missing. I added it back there and it's still not starting. Anywhere else I might check? | 14:09 |

| K1rk | usr13__, why would that be necessary? This is the first time I have ever seen this problem. It seems to me it's specific to this model of device. | 14:09 |
| popo | 144 | 14:09 |
| K1rk | BlueEagle, I thought all network interfaces autoconfigured with a link local IPv6 address with no outside help? | 14:09 |
| lion | popo please don't trolling | 14:09 |
| K1rk | BlueEagle, I'm open to the idea of turning off IPv6 but I'm going to try the new driver first I think. | 14:09 |

| wooo | BlueEagle: my application is in pending review status...i want that my application will start in terminal...would it be ok if i put terminal =true????? | 14:11 |
| K1rk | BlueEagle, we should be able to get away with compiling drivers as we do not automatically push out kernel updates. But I'd rather avoid them because the end-user will be able to update their kernel on these... | 14:11 |
| K1rk | BlueEagle, but if the compiled driver fixes the problem, then you gotta do what you gotta do. | 14:11 |
| usr13__ | K1rk: You are probably correct in thinking it's a driver issue, or an issue with having a mix of gigabit and 10/100, I'm just digging up alternative ideas. | 14:11 |
| K1rk | usr13__, for testing, I have all 3 of these netbooks plugged into a gigabit Netgear Prosafe switch on my desk. But I have had this issue on various Cisco switches as well. | 14:12 |
| BlueEagle | K1rk: Just to assert another assumption I made; Are the three ports on the Cisco router configured identically? | 14:12 |
| BlueEagle | ...oh. That answered my question then. | 14:12 |
| K1rk | BlueEagle, since this Netgear switch is just a cheap unmanaged switch, yes. | 14:12 |
| giga2 | I am trying to install kubuntn on an old computer and get error message sis630 smbus not detected no module found anyone have any ideas | 14:13 |
| K1rk | Part of the reason I did that was to eliminate that possibility. Since before, I was connected to several different closet switches via wall ports. This way it's a controlled testing environment @BlueEagle, @usr13__ | 14:13 |
| === joete is now known as bca | ||
| usr13__ | K1rk: I wouldn't rule out a systemic network config problem though.... Sometimes it can effect only certain devices. Such as with an IP conflict, if there is an IP conflict, the Linux computer will fail and the MS Windows computer will not. | 14:14 |

| K1rk | lol, k | 14:16 |
| usr13__ | K1rk: Sounds like there is a module by that name already. | 14:16 |

| BlueEagle | nnn: There's no package named "Hud" as far as I can tell. | 14:17 |

| nnn | is HUD only for unity ? | 14:17 |
| K1rk | nnn, I think what you're asking about is a feature of Unity, not necessarily a package. | 14:17 |

| BlueEagle | nnn: Giving an answer is not that hard. Understanding your question however is a challenge. :) | 14:19 |
| BluesKaj | BlueEagle, nnn , yes there is a hud for kde | 14:19 |
| Rovanion | I can't write å,ä and ö in bash on a computer that I've ssh'd into. It has LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8 but LC_ALL=C when I run locale even though /etc/default/locale has LC_ALL="sv_SE.UTF-8" | 14:19 |
| C112911 | can i run exe in ubuntu | 14:19 |
| BlueEagle | nnn: Assuming that HUD is a part of Unity the question should be if you can run Unity in KDE. The answer to that is yes. The next question is if you really want to run Unity in KDE. The answer to that I'll leave to the philosophers. | 14:19 |

| BlueEagle | arcaico: There is a bug that claims that if ndiswrapper is loaded then udev stops loading modules for new hardware. Do you have ndiswrapper running? | 14:46 |
| BlouBlou | Hackerrrrrrr: I think it supports if it's atheros or zystel/zistel | 14:46 |

| sicco | How do I know if a package will be updated for a certain version of Ubuntu. For example I have Ubuntu 12.04, and I use BaseX (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/basex). BaseX' latest version is 7.3. How can I see if 12.04 will receive this update? | 14:47 |
| arcaico | BlueEagle, but I dont have ndiswrapper | 14:47 |
| cornfeed | lamks: i mean, that makes no sense. the only things that could be happening are symlinks, overlapping mounts (check with df) or you are just mistaking which directory you were in (check with pwd) | 14:48 |

| lamks | cornfeed: i am definetely in different folders | 14:48 |
| cornfeed | genii-around: penetration testing is piracy? give me abreak! | 14:48 |
| cornfeed | i get payed to do such things!!!!! | 14:49 |
| arcaico | Yes.. And not found | 14:49 |
| Skei | Hmmm, Solver, cornfeed, any chance you have a minute to take a look at my dmesg output ? I'm not sure what to look for. | 14:49 |

| cornfeed | good luck | 14:51 |
| axisys | apt-cache search rlib.pm gives no answer | 14:51 |
| sicco | BluesKaj: but that would require me to add the BaseX PPA manually right? | 14:51 |
| axisys | do I need to use cpan to install rlib.pm as the only option? | 14:52 |

| BluesKaj | sicco, ppa repos do not always contain stable packages stable and not necessarily "up to date" as you call it , but if you insist then add the ppa to your sources list with this command or copy and paste the debs from the launchpad ppa to your sources list , there are instaructions there to help you do so. | 15:00 |

| bekks | sassas123: Actually no one forces you to use KDE. :) | 15:04 |
| sassas123 | TheM4ch1n3: I use XFCE, but Network Manager is a horrible. And I'm downloading Kubuntu | 15:05 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | sassas123: I use xfce, because its lightweight and very stable, I add some xfce- packages though, like sensors and bargraphs | 15:05 |

| Rikun | Hello? I need some help getting a program called gparted | 15:08 |
| sassas123 | TheM4ch1n3: But how can I switch mu Ethernet connection from 100 to 10 Mbit/s | 15:08 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | bekks: what do you mean KDE with Openbox, how does that look ? | 15:08 |
| Rikun | What is this program? | 15:08 |
| DJones | !info gparted | 15:08 |
| ubottu | gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.11.0-2 (precise), package size 530 kB, installed size 1872 kB | 15:08 |
| Rikun | I was told it would help me see my corrupted drive | 15:08 |
| bekks | TheM4ch1n3: Looks like KDE without plasma. | 15:08 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | Rikun: its a partition editor, helps you resize partitions, like perhaps NTFS | 15:08 |
| bekks | sassas123: By using ethtool e.g. | 15:09 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | bekks: oh, you mean change the speed of the device ? | 15:09 |
| Rikun | TheM4ch1n3, so what does that have to do with a corrupted USB? | 15:09 |
| sassas123 | bekks: Could you help me? I used: ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 10 duplex half | 15:09 |
| BlueEagle | Rikun: If it is very corrupt you may want a GParted live-cd or the Ubuntu live-cd for that matter. | 15:09 |
| sassas123 | bekks: but it doesnt work | 15:09 |
| Rikun | Well, here's what happened: | 15:10 |
| bekks | sassas123: "Doesnt work" means? | 15:10 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | Rikun: well I suppose the person was expecting you to use manual methods, normal fixups of "corrupted" stuff is allot of "hands on" work, with multiple tools | 15:10 |
| ahwan | hi | 15:10 |

| sassas123 | bekks: I can't connect to the internet using 100 Mbit connection because of my provider. I set up Windows 7 driver and it works on 10 Mbit/s. How can I swiitch it on Ubuntu? | 15:11 |

| TheM4ch1n3 | Rikun: well Knoppix runs with the CD in the drive, and will not work, if you remove the disc, also Knoppix, has some flacky GUI stuff, and PartedMagic ejects the disc and runs from RAM, I preferre PartedMagic | 15:13 |
| sassas123 | bekks: Usin ethtool? | 15:13 |
| bekks | sassas123: Yes. | 15:13 |
| sassas123 | bekks: Could you type a command? | 15:14 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | Rikun: also, PartedMagic is a much smaller download <200mb and knoppix ~730mb | 15:14 |
| Rikun | TheM4chi1n3: I take it these are ways I can save money for data recovery? A good number of companies I've talked to charge upwards of $200 | 15:14 |
| ahwan | hello..every1 ..any1 interested 2 help me? | 15:14 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | Rikun: yip, I would never pay for data recovery, I would just play around till I fix it myself, using said tools | 15:15 |
| ahwan | pv with me | 15:15 |
| bekks | sassas123: That wont help you, I guess :) How about starting with ethtool -s speed 10 eth0 | 15:15 |

| uhoh_____ | hello -- I think somehow my aptitude was borked ... maybe by installing skype. aptitude -f is saying I have 41 broken packages, and I should remove 233 packages and keep 77... should I trust it and Apply? | 15:15 |
| Jinxed- | anyway to duplicate broadcast packets across subnets | 15:16 |
| bekks | Jinxed-: Subnets were invented to avoid that :) | 15:16 |
| BluesKaj | !aptitude > uhoh_____ | 15:16 |
| ubottu | uhoh_____, please see my private message | 15:16 |
| Rikun | TheM4ch1n3: Wait, if it's a partitioning problem.....I was using a program that was all about recognizing partitions. It was called.....testdisk I believe. | 15:16 |
| Jinxed- | bekks, I understand that, but I need to duplicate broadcast of a specific source | 15:17 |
| Rikun | TheM4ch1n3: And according to that program, there was no partitions to fix. | 15:17 |
| hlsecurity | hey | 15:17 |
| uhoh_____ | BluesKaj: so... aptitude went from being the better CLI to the one not to use? | 15:17 |
| bekks | Jinxed-: Then you have to configure your router/switch like that. | 15:17 |
| hlsecurity | hello | 15:17 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | Rikun: well my method is, check if partition table is ok, if it is, fix filesystems, else recover filesystem using PartedMagic, or use its Partition recovery tool | 15:17 |
| ahwan | TheM4ch1n3 pv with me | 15:17 |

| hlsecurity | :( | 15:18 |
| BluesKaj | uhoh_____, yes ,I'm afraid so | 15:18 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | Rikun: I would start with cfdisk, and gparted is stronger, but I usually start with a simple, tool, and when needed use more bulky stuff only when needed | 15:19 |
| uhoh_____ | BluesKaj: can I install synaptic to automatically fix whatever this mess is? | 15:19 |
| Rikun | TheM4ch1n3: Do you mind if I PM you? It's feeling really cluttered here. | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | uhoh_____, try sudo dpkg --configure -a first , synaptic does have a repair packages option , but I believe it uses the same command | 15:21 |
| uhoh_____ | BluesKaj: and can I safely remove aptitude if I've been using it for the past few years (I understand that it's kept a list of all the changes separate from apt-get) | 15:22 |
| uhoh_____ | BluesKaj: or can I still use aptitude to search for things and stuff | 15:25 |

| steve____ | ikonia, beandog: so cp -r will copy the files from the flashdrive? | 15:34 |
| ikonia | steve____: it will copy files that are directories and their contents | 15:34 |
| cfhowlett | Rocki34, here's the process: find a torrent you want. download the torrent seed file. add that seed to your transmission and activate it so it'll download | 15:34 |

| danileigh79 | Every time I attempt to install java through terminal (all different sources), it keeps coming back with error | 15:43 |
| Rocki34 | cfhowlett: I'm definitely not getting it from PBay, the first time I started up Transmission it showed me that window. | 15:43 |
| maurizi0 | thank you flor_ I will give it a try. But I need it to work in any media player, specially in Banshee. | 15:43 |
| Rocki34 | cfhowlett: Maybe it's because I'm using the GUI, or is that completely irrelevant? | 15:44 |
| xlq | danileigh79: Did you install it with Ubuntu's package manager? | 15:44 |
| cfhowlett | Rocki34, can't say the gui would do that. I'd suspect the your internet settings ... | 15:44 |
| cfhowlett | Rocki34, orry I can't be more precise - this issue is one I've never had to deal with. | 15:45 |
| xlq | flor_: If there is a way to do it, it will be ratehr difficult. | 15:45 |

| xlq | Relondo: If you want to use them as part of a string, put quotes around them. For example, to create a file with parentheses in them, you can do: touch '()()' | 16:13 |
| haylo | Relondo, you might be looking to use ' single ticks' to help clean up your commands a bit | 16:13 |

| Relondo | haylo: Single ticks? | 16:15 |

| OerHeks | Pupuser, then you won't be able to get the BCM firmware from the internet, unless you do !offline | 16:16 |

| Relondo | xlq: Okay. So how do I do it in something like this: | 16:17 |

| llaskin | where can i find a list of all packages? | 16:17 |
| xlq | Relondo: If you want to cd to a directory with parentheses in, you can do: cd 'Some directory with (parentheses) and (spaces)' | 16:18 |
| xlq | Relondo: Yeah, that's it | 16:18 |
| bekks | Pupuser: Then check wether the b43 driver is already installed and wether the firmware is installed. | 16:18 |
| Relondo | xlq: So do I need parentheses around the whole directory if only parts of it have parentheses/spaces? | 16:18 |
| xlq | Relondo: parentheses->quotes. No, you don't. You can do this: cd foo'('bar')'bletch | 16:19 |

| xlq | Crup: Yes. | 16:20 |
| K1rk | BlueEagle, unplugging and replugging the cable does NOT resolve the issue when that happens. I will try tailing syslog while I do that and I will try ethtool. Copied to my clipboard, thanks | 16:21 |
| xlq | apatters: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all | 16:21 |
| xlq | apatters: I suspect it might contain 1. If it does, as root do: echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all | 16:21 |
| Relondo | Oh, also, how do I symlink two folders? | 16:22 |
| apatters | xlq: contains 0. | 16:22 |
| xlq | Relondo: You don't symlink two folders, you create a symlink to a folder. It's not symmetrical. | 16:22 |
| xlq | Relondo: ln -s foo bar # this will create a symlink called bar that points to foo. Foo can be a directory. | 16:23 |
| Relondo | xlq: Ah. | 16:23 |
| xlq | apatters: Can you ping your own IP address? | 16:23 |

| BlueEagle | K1rk: The bug in the redhat bugzilla did result in a patch that has been accepted upstream on 2.6.32. As such it should not have been an issue. This is of course unless the patch is RedHat only. | 16:24 |
| Relondo | xlq: So would I use that command while inside the folder I want to be symlinked to the other folder? | 16:24 |
| Relondo | chad___: Thanks. | 16:24 |
| stefo | fo | 16:25 |
| BlueEagle | K1rk: Now I don't know how you would go about patchign the tg3 driver to resolve the issue so the ethtool is the simplest solution as far as I can tell. | 16:25 |
| K1rk | BlueEagle, unplugging and replugging the ethernet cable DOES affect the activity lights. But DOES NOT affect /var/log/syslog in any way. | 16:25 |
| xlq | Relondo: No, ln creates the link. That example I gave creates the link "bar". There mustn't be something already called "bar" in the current directory. | 16:25 |

| sassas123 | BlueEagle: Yes | 16:27 |
| K1rk | BlueEagle, there was no output from that ethtool command. What was it supposed to have done? | 16:27 |
| xlq | apatters: Apart from trying a different OS to see if it's the OS or the network you're on, I have no idea what to try. | 16:27 |
| BlueEagle | sassas123: Googling for 'ubuntu how do I change wired network speed' did produce some nice results. | 16:28 |
| Relondo | xlq: Can I move a linked directory after creation? | 16:28 |
| xlq | Relondo: Yes. A symlink basically contains an absolute or relative path to the linked-to file. | 16:28 |
| BlueEagle | K1rk: I am not sure if that will produce output or just change the settings. I guess `man ethtool` will point to what that command actually does. (You should always check the manual before executing commands given in here!) | 16:28 |
| Relondo | xlq: Alright. Thanks a bunch! | 16:28 |
| xlq | Relondo: If you move the linked-to file, the symlink becomes broken and has to be updated. | 16:29 |
| hunterloftis | Hey guys, I'm following the 'upstart cookbook' to set uid and gid for a process, but the job doesn't start in the user's environment (so it doesn't have his PATH, etc). Any simple way for me to correct that? I can't find anything in the docs | 16:29 |
| Relondo | xlq: Got it. | 16:29 |
| bekks | sassas123: I already told you, didnt I? | 16:29 |
| xlq | Relondo: If you move the link itself to a different directory... well, if the link had a relative path, the link might become broken. | 16:29 |
| Relondo | xlq: Best to do it again, then. | 16:29 |
| Till0474 | How can I deactivate a broken notebook keyboard? | 16:30 |
| xlq | Relondo: You can see the absolute or relative path a link has by doing: readlink <link> | 16:30 |

| compdoc | sassas123, I think you can specify in /etc/udev/rules.d/70persistent-net rules, but Im not sure. You shouldnt have to do that | 16:33 |
| xlq | PapaSierra: You can use socat to reroute TCP connections, but note that all the traffic of that connections goes through socat. | 16:33 |

| K1rk | BlueEagle, it does tell which version of the driver is loaded. It confirms that my new driver is loaded on the test machine. | 16:35 |
| xlq | lotuspsychje: chmod means "change mode" (permission); go means group and other users, -rwx means remove read, write and execute permissions. | 16:35 |
| xlq | lotuspsychje: Well, the umask determines the permissions of new files. If you change your umask to 0077, new files you create won't be world- or group-readable. | 16:36 |

| MonkeyDust | beandog guest1 type !root | 17:07 |
| guest1 | aha... so you have to su to root and then change the password | 17:08 |
| guest1 | is that right? | 17:08 |
| beandog | or you could do sudo passwd | 17:08 |
| MonkeyDust | !root | 17:08 |
| beandog | either way | 17:08 |
| 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 | 17:08 |

| joel135 | or rather: how do I fix the issue? | 17:17 |
| magpie | Odra im not sure if you can upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 someone else will have to verify that otherwise you can download the iso 12.04 burn it and do a clean install | 17:17 |
| Odra | Anyway, are you sure there is not a menu that goes Item -> Phoenix Down -> Window Manager or something? | 17:18 |

| nyc-h0st | guys, any good tools to display memory usage per process properly? | 17:24 |

| Abratax | yo guys, my wireless card is not detected | 17:25 |
| anon | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/TY3sp2en | 17:25 |
| JW1224 | have you downloaded the windows wireless drivers | 17:25 |
| magpie | abratax now or all the time? | 17:25 |
| Abratax | all the time | 17:25 |
| magpie | nyc-host install screenlets and then choose sysmonitor | 17:26 |
| nyc-h0st | beandog, it still suffers from the problem top and ps do, it would report forked processes independently, for example i'd have 20 processes on top with 1gig of reserved memory, which is pretty much impossible on a 3 gig box | 17:27 |
| JW1224 | Abratax: did you download the windows wireless card driver | 17:28 |
| magpie | abratax have you tried the additional drivers? | 17:28 |
| nyc-h0st | i'm looking for something smart enough to walk the parent/child tree and arregate memory properly | 17:28 |
| beandog | nyc-h0st: see if hitting F5 helps | 17:28 |
| Jordan_U | anon: I assume that there is another package which depends on mplayer or mplayer2. What output do you get if you run "sudo apt-get remove mplayer mplayer2"? | 17:28 |
| nyc-h0st | aah, f5 is getting somewhere | 17:29 |

| magpie | guest1 im greek, well, half at least, the other half is englis | 17:36 |
| nyc-h0st | dont need to look at a screenshot, the terminal is idiot proof, its just right click and options | 17:36 |
| magpie | h | 17:36 |
| IdleOne | shahriyarguliyev: if there is something wrong with the font after you changed them, change them back. | 17:36 |

| Odra | magpie: But the 12th looks cooler :O | 17:40 |
| shahriyarguliyev | IdleOne: http://tinypic.com/r/blh90/6 please look up, there is letters one inside another..i've changed fonts, changed terminal shell,..lots of things has done, im not pro linux so dunno what is wrong | 17:40 |
| Guest28780 | well my onboard sound does not work iv tried looking at all mixers I have installed but still no sound | 17:40 |
| Odra | I dont know what it looks like exactly, but I am sure its cooler. | 17:40 |
| magpie | Odra i know, but 10.04 is faster, maybe you could try linux mint cinnamon 13, thats even cooler and everything works out-of-the-box codecs, wireless etc etc | 17:40 |
| Odra | Besides I'm not really a linux guy. Yet. So it might be best to start with the latest LTS. | 17:41 |
| IdleOne | shahriyarguliyev: the only way I can think of to fix that is for you to change the font until you find one that is suitable. | 17:41 |
| Jordan_U | shahriyarguliyev: Did you try to use a non-monospace font? | 17:41 |
| magpie | Odra try Linux Mint Cinnamon 13, you wont have to install anything | 17:41 |
| shahriyarguliyev | IdleOne: I said I don't know which font even which shell occured problem, sorry didnt help | 17:42 |
| shahriyarguliyev | Jordan_U: wait, i'll be checking up it, i guess i poked that adjustment. | 17:42 |
| Odra | magpie: Why so many distros? | 17:42 |
| erdos | searching for conf files anyone? surely i'm not supposed to just look through the whole file system for it? is there some way to get some sort of apt-get install log | 17:43 |
| Jordan_U | shahriyarguliyev: It's not what I would call an "adjustment". Some fonts are monospace, others aren't. You need a monospace font for use with a terminal. | 17:43 |
| beandog | erdos: maybe dpkg -L <package> ? | 17:43 |
| surfinator | I am upgrading my OS from 32bit to 64bit as I am installing 4 gb extra ram, should I install the OS after I fis the RAM or before??? | 17:44 |
| erdos | thanks! i'm a complete noob at linux so i've very much in the dark atm... doing man dpkg now :) | 17:44 |
| surfinator | fix* | 17:44 |
| magpie | Odra i have no idea, but Linux Mint is more user friendly and you dont have to install codecs and other stuff, it resembles windows kind of | 17:44 |
| beandog | surfinator: either way | 17:44 |
| compdoc | surfinator, install the ram, test it, then procced | 17:44 |
| Jordan_U | surfinator: It doesn't really matter. Do whatever order is easiest for you. | 17:44 |
| compdoc | proceed | 17:44 |

| erdos | beandog++ | 17:45 |
| beandog | cool | 17:45 |
| shahriyarguliyev | Jordan_U: Thanks for help but I did cure the problem, I unchecked the "System fixed width font" and it become normal. I think it was cos of the Cairo repositories I installed once.. | 17:45 |

| Jordan_U | clubneon: The same utilities should be used during boot for assembling as are used after boot. The kernel no longer auto assembles anything itself, instead initrd scripts are used to do that from userspace even at boot. Maybe some of the devices are taking longer than others to become available? | 17:52 |
| Till19474 | mlpokn You mean with your specific hardware configuration? | 17:52 |
| Jordan_U | shahriyarguliyev: You're welcome. | 17:52 |
| mlpokn | Till19474. Yes. | 17:52 |

| Jordan_U | wooo: What are you actually trying to accomplish? | 17:55 |
| Till19474 | shahriyarguliyev You can use gparted to create a data partition. It can take a long time if you have to change the size of a partition to make some free hdd space, but it works usually. | 17:56 |
| mlpokn | Till19474. Hmm. I want to turn the whole OS in a single ISO, just like a fork for example. With all my current settings, applications, etc | 17:56 |
| Odra | Hmm | 17:56 |
| delac | does notification-daemon have some settings? | 17:56 |
| clubneon | It's not the root fs either, just an array that's going to be shared out by iSCSI. The root fs is also on RAID, only the first 8 drives and it gets assembled. | 17:56 |
| Odra | If you are running 10.04, and the update manager says there is a new release avaiable. | 17:56 |
| Odra | Should it be 10.10? | 17:57 |
| Till19474 | mlpokn: but with your hardware settings, right? you can use the link and create an iso from /. | 17:57 |
| wooo | Jordan_U: hey i got it..its in /etc/passwd ... | 17:57 |
| Jordan_U | wooo: No, it's not. | 17:57 |

| wooo | thanks @bekks..:) | 17:59 |
| magpie | Odra any more problems? | 17:59 |
| Till19474 | shahriyaguliyes You can use the remaining free ~100GB, But it will take a long time to reduce the size of the ~600 GB partition. | 17:59 |
| Odra | magpie: I'm just wondering. Shouldnt the update manager show a 12 version upgrade instead of 10.10? | 17:59 |
| Odra | Or do I have to upgrade to 10.10 then 11 then 12? | 18:00 |
| magpie | Odra the latter | 18:00 |
| magpie | Odra: one upgrade at a time | 18:00 |
| Odra | This is gonna take some time T___T | 18:00 |
| Jordan_U | shahriyarguliyev: You should always have any important files backed up, no matter what you're doing. If you can't afford enough drive space for backups of everything you care about at least determine what you care about most and back that up to another disk / online storage / something. | 18:00 |
| magpie | Odra: however, i think a straight upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 will be up soon at least thats what i read | 18:00 |
| Odra | Haha, and I'm upgrading to soemthing that is no longer supported even | 18:00 |
| Jordan_U | Odra: Do not upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04, that would be a silly thing to do. | 18:01 |
| Till19474 | mlpokn No, if this is what you want to do you should export the contents of your /home directory seperately, then reinstall the system and then replace the default /home contents | 18:01 |
| Odra | I figured. | 18:02 |
| wooo | bekks:how can i get the read the password..i opened the /etc/shadow file...but still i cant get that? | 18:02 |
| MorrowW | Hey, I'm having issues with my CD drive detecting media when I insert a burned disc. Anyone have any advice? I can elaborate if needed. | 18:02 |

| Jordan_U | guest1: Please turn off caps lock. | 18:02 |
| shahriyarguliyev | Jordan_U: Back ups? it only backs up your apps not personal data. in any case i dont trust online storage-clouds. i can't upload 600 Gb. any ohter way? | 18:02 |
| Till19474 | woo only root can help you out, if you have no root password you can do nothing, or maybe ask the NSA | 18:03 |
| beandog | not necessarily | 18:03 |
| mlpokn | Till19474. I guess I'll give it a try. Thanks. | 18:03 |
| magpie | Odra dont upgrade yet, by the end of July there will be a straight upgrade to 12.04 | 18:03 |

| magpie | night mate | 18:05 |
| Jordan_U | shahriyarguliyev: I'm not even talking about installing Ubuntu at the moment. I'm guessing that if your hard drive died tomorrow (entirely possible, hard drives are known to fail) you would not be very happy. You should try to back up as much as you can of what you consider most important so that *when* you have a catastrophic failure (it will happen at some point) you will at least have your most important files still. | 18:06 |
| Jordan_U | wooo: It's not possible. | 18:06 |

| wooo | Jordan_U: i got it its in encrypted form...but there should any way to decrypt it?? | 18:08 |
| MonkeyDust | kilo start here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 18:08 |
| Till19474 | MrrowW: check out the contents of /dev. The cdrom is something like sdb* or sdc* usually. You create a /media/cdrom directory and then you use mount /dev/sd? /media/cdrom. if you are not sure which sd* file it is you can figure it out with the trial and error method. After you found the CDrom, it is mounted and you can access the data. | 18:08 |

| shahriyarguliyev | Jordan_U: Thanks for advice Sir. I'll be considering it in the next reliable OS..this sucks --WIndows 7 (already crashed) and WUBI..no need to back up for now. | 18:09 |
| MonkeyDust | luzido don't say to google something, when people ask for help, please | 18:10 |
| Jordan_U | wooo: It's not encrypted, it's hashed. You can't "unhash" something. | 18:10 |
| Till19474 | auronandace Don't be sure about that. I know lots of guys who do not care a sh* about data backup until it is too late. for example diploma thesis with no copy anywhere. | 18:10 |

| wols | FoolsRun: yes afaik | 18:15 |
| Jordan_U | wooo: You can't login as root from lightdm because lightdm knows that it's a terrible idea and so it (thankfully) won't let you do it. | 18:15 |
| Till19474 | wols Yes but if they are so important then you have to eat at a soup kitchen for a week or so and then you can purchase an external hdd. | 18:15 |
| wols | Till19474: agreed. unbackuped data is never important :) | 18:15 |
| FoolsRun | wols/anyone: know what might be preventing that? .Xauthority and /tmp/X1-lock don't seem to remove when I stop lightdm, which is causing lots of problems including lockups when trying to auto-login. | 18:16 |

| auronandace | !root | wooo | 18:17 |
| ubottu | wooo: 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 | 18:17 |
| velcroshooz | hm | 18:17 |
| MonkeyDust | wooo that's called 'security' | 18:17 |
| Till19474 | But when I talk about very important data I mean scans of diplomas, text files with passwords etc. That usually fits onto a free dropbox directory. | 18:17 |
| Till19474 | ubottu I guess about half of all root passwords are like '123', so guessing could actually help. | 18:18 |
| ubottu | Till19474: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:18 |
| Jordan_U | wooo: You should never run an entire desktop environment as root. It's possible to do, but it's entirely stupid, will break things, and has no benefit. I will not help you do it and I highly recommend that you disable the root account again (as it's disabled in Ubuntu by default). | 18:18 |

| Till19474 | philmeister well what it says is quite clear, isn't it? | 18:29 |
| madmax2 | FoolsRun: Is the lock owned by root? It's probably a already reported bug. | 18:29 |
| wooo | is there any difference in command su - and su root??? | 18:30 |
| Till19474 | woo A user called 'root' does not exist in ubuntu. | 18:30 |
| beandog | wooo: yah, su - uses the user's login info | 18:30 |
| beandog | parses ~/.bashrc and all that | 18:30 |
| FoolsRun | madmax2: I haven't actually checked the lock. .Xauthority seems to be owned by the autologin user, which should be correct | 18:30 |
| madmax2 | wooo: su - gives you the environment that root has, su gives you the access right (id). | 18:30 |
| philmeister | Well, my ubuntu is 64-bit and im using x86 wine. The reason is because im following a game installation-guide that told me to get x86 wine even though I've got 64 bit ubuntu | 18:30 |
| beandog | Till19474: and yes, they exist. :B | 18:30 |
| nronksr | If you wanted to change to a diff. .bashrc, you'd have to use the switch: su - <username> | 18:30 |

| Till19474 | beandog But you cannot login as user 'root', or am I wrong? | 18:31 |

| pluesch0r | hi everybody. quick question: the debug output concerning - for example - an external usb disk differs from the information that's displayed when doing a lsusb -v (in my case, udev reports the vendor as being 'WD' whereas lsusb reports 'Western Digital'); any idea how i could interlink the two | 18:31 |
| beandog | Till19474: it's just scrambled by default | 18:31 |
| pluesch0r | ? | 18:31 |
| beandog | Anytime you run sudo you are running something as root | 18:31 |
| beandog | for example: sudo whoami | 18:31 |
| philmeister | so if i get the 64-bit wine version it might work? | 18:31 |
| pluesch0r | err .. the output of udev is not the same as the output of lsusb .. | 18:31 |
| Till19474 | beandog I wanted to create a user 'root' for my system, but it said that this name is not allowed. | 18:31 |
| sarsaeol | philmeister: emphasis on might | 18:32 |
| beandog | Till19474: that's cause it already exists | 18:32 |
| sarsaeol | philmeister: but yeah probably | 18:32 |
| wooo | beandog: yaa i got this that by sudo su - i can get root access but how its differ from sudo su root command?? | 18:32 |
| FoolsRun | Till19474: best not to create a user with that name anyway, since it's a super easily guessed name | 18:32 |
| philmeister | hmm, ok thank you | 18:32 |
| IdleOne | wooo: use sudo -i instead. it sets up the environment properly for Ubuntu and will avoid any possible problems. Please be careful with that command. | 18:32 |
| beandog | wooo: su - parses login files in ~/ | 18:32 |
| madmax2 | wooo: su - gives you the id and environment that root has, su gives you the access right (id). | 18:32 |
| beandog | wooo: just use "sudo su -" | 18:32 |
| Till19474 | FoolsRun and why is a name that is easy to guess dangerous? I mean there is still the password? | 18:32 |

| Jordan_U | ses1984: That sounds like you're missing an intitramfs to go with your kernel image. Can you mount your Ubuntu partition and pastebin the output of "ls /mountpoint/boot/"? | 19:04 |
| escott | ses1984, i cant remember if the initrd has blkid, but it probably should. if not you can check that the uuid'ed device appears in /dev/disk/by-uuid | 19:05 |
| macbook-dual | hiya | 19:05 |
| ses1984 | i will try those give me a sec | 19:05 |
| macbook-dual | i've got a macbook dual boot with mac os 10.4 plus ubuntu 12.04. recently my ubuntu side crashed while doing a software upgrade. i've tried reinstalling and there are errors deleting the old system and i want to backup my files to an external hd but i can't see all the folders and... | 19:06 |
| macbook-dual | can't change permissions. any clues? | 19:06 |
| ses1984 | Jordan_U: i have booted into an earlier version of ubuntu and i'm not sure what location you're referring to. is /mountpoint supposed to stand in for some other real path on my system? because i dont see /mountpoint at all | 19:07 |
| Jordan_U | ses1984: When you say that you booted into an earlier version of Ubuntu, how did you do that? I think you might really mean that you booted from an older kernel from the grub menu. Does that sound right? | 19:08 |
| ses1984 | escott: i'm not sure how to get a shell on initrd i only get as far as grub, or i can get farther with older versions of ubuntu. the uuid i tried to add to my new grub config is definitely there | 19:08 |
| ses1984 | Jordan_U: yes | 19:09 |
| Jordan_U | ses1984: OK, then please just run "ls /boot/" and pastebin the output. | 19:09 |
| xskxwraith | uh can someone help me with my kubuntu stuff | 19:10 |
| bekks | xskxwraith: Please ask a specific question. | 19:11 |
| xskxwraith | uh....how do i move folders and files,etc into root folder | 19:11 |
| Jordan_U | xskxwraith: You generally shouldn't move files into the root directory. Why are you trying to do this? | 19:12 |
| xskxwraith | for a game | 19:12 |
| wooo | is there something which can't be done by sudo and only can done by root user(or su)??? | 19:12 |
| Jordan_U | wooo: No. | 19:12 |
| xskxwraith | are you asking me wooo? | 19:12 |
| dD0T | Two questions on shortcuts in 12.04. Is there a way to make Ctrl+Win+Arrow right/left move windows between monitors when they are already snapped to the edge? Also are there shortcuts to enable/disable secondary monitors (kind of like a beamer mode). Thanks. | 19:12 |
| Jordan_U | xskxwraith: What game are you trying to install? | 19:12 |
| ses1984 | i just tried to install a command line pastebin and i got a message that my packages were screwed up and to run apt-get install -f. i'm waiting for that to finish os i can paste ls /boot but i think there's a slight chance the apt-get install -f might just fix my problem | 19:13 |
| CharlieSu | Anyone know if something is up w/ the package repos? I can't get Apache installed.. https://gist.github.com/6c12363e9514ab2efa80 | 19:13 |
| xskxwraith | no i have the game i'm trying to change part of it but in order to do it is says to sudo cp the stuff but it says there is no such item | 19:14 |
| wooo | Jordan_U: is that so then what is the difference betwwen root user and normal user...as sudo only needs user password not root password??? | 19:14 |
| Jordan_U | xskxwraith: What is your end goal? I assume that you're following a guide, what guide are you following? | 19:14 |
| Jordan_U | wooo: Please use only one '?'. | 19:15 |
| xskxwraith | uh its a gun game assaultcube im trying to change the look of my gun | 19:15 |
| trism | CharlieSu: please run: apt-get update; first, apache2.2-bin is up to version 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.9 in lucid (it is requesting 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.6) | 19:15 |
| xskxwraith | and i guess to be more clear the guide i was using said to just copy paste it which it doesnt allow and i read to do basically the same thing you sudo cp it | 19:16 |
| escott | wooo, its a matter of intention. root can unintentionally destroy his system. a normal user has to intentionally put sudo in front of it and type the password | 19:16 |
| Jordan_U | wooo: The difference between logging in as root and using sudo is mostly a human one. If you use sudo then you are less likely to run commands which don't need root privileges as root. | 19:16 |
| Jordan_U | xskxwraith: What guide are you using? | 19:17 |
| escott | wooo, google around for horror stories about running as root and accidentally "rm -rf /"'ing the system | 19:17 |
| xskxwraith | uh just a sec | 19:18 |
| CharlieSu | trism: dohhh.. newbie move on my part | 19:18 |
| dgiVista | i'm running ubuntu off the install disk so i can back up my ubuntu with a broken system. how do i change permission of my files and directories so i can see them and back them up? do i have to be root or admin or something? | 19:18 |

| escott | dgiVista, you usually would be able to see them even without root privileges unless you encrypted your home directory. | 19:21 |
| CharlieSu | trism: everything i have is automated w/ Chef and I forgot to pull in my apt cookbook | 19:21 |
| dgiVista | escott, thanks i can "see" directories, but i can't open them all to backup their contents. | 19:21 |
| wooo | escott: i got u. but I want to know as suppose i am root user of my system and there are so many normal user(as used in our college).so all normal user have their own password so any one can destroy the system by using sudo ??? | 19:21 |
| escott | dgiVista, but you can check that by running "sudo ls /MOUNTPOINT/home/USERNAME" where MOUNTPOINT is where you mounted your ubuntu system | 19:21 |
| dgiVista | escott, thanks i'll try that. | 19:22 |
| Jordan_U | wooo: In your college the users created for students aren't part of the "sudo" group and thus can't use sudo. | 19:23 |
| escott | wooo, only the first user is configured as an "admin(<=11.10)/sudo(12.04+)" user. subsequent users are not members of the "admin/sudo" group. only members of the "admin/sudo" group can sudo | 19:23 |

| zixxy | Hey all. I'm running a fresh install of 12.04 w/ Gnome-Shell and it seems a select few keyboard shortcuts just don't work. My main concern is the shortcut to minimize windows. I set it to Ctrl+Down at first, but it didn't work so I set it back to Ctrl+Alt+0(default). Still no luck. Any ideas? | 19:31 |
| DraINED | zixxy, try with CTRL+ALT and SUPR do it 3 times | 19:31 |
| trism | zixxy: perhaps related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/965921 (which has workarounds for setting them in the description) | 19:33 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 965921 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "gnome-shell most keyboard shortcuts not working" [Low,Confirmed] | 19:33 |
| dgiVista | escott, thanks for your help. i hacked together sudo chmod ugoa+RWX -R * and that seemed to 777 everything. now onto my backup and reinstall. | 19:33 |
| zixxy | trism, I'll check that out. Thanks | 19:33 |

| escott | dgiVista, you don't want to restore from that. the permissions will all be wrong. you'll have to audit the permissions before you restore them | 19:34 |
| dgiVista | escott, the only things i'm backing up are word docs and pdfs. the rest i'm going to wipe. are there any risks with those kinds of files being 777? | 19:35 |
| escott | dgiVista, thats fine then | 19:35 |
| Skippert | hello | 19:36 |
| escott | dgiVista, in the future though. all you need to do is sudo cp -ar /MOUNTPOINT/home/username /BACKUP/LOCATION | 19:36 |

| padmick | hi ive just installed ubuntu (yay!) and im wonderin what should i do first security and anonymity purposes =) thanks | 19:38 |
| ikonia | padmick: nothing | 19:38 |
| padmick | really? | 19:39 |
| ikonia | yes | 19:39 |
| padmick | that was not what i was looking for | 19:39 |
| ikonia | what's not ? | 19:39 |
| padmick | well i thought i have to activate stuff to make it more secure | 19:40 |
| ikonia | you don't | 19:41 |
| Jordan_U | padmick: To whom do you want to be anonymous? | 19:41 |
| padmick | everyone =) | 19:41 |
| ikonia | that's nothing to do with your OS | 19:41 |
| padmick | well like should i use tor or jondo? | 19:42 |
| ikonia | up to you | 19:42 |
| Jordan_U | ikonia: It could mean that they might want to use TOR or something similar. | 19:42 |
| ikonia | Jordan_U: sure, who knows | 19:42 |
| padmick | which is better | 19:42 |
| ikonia | up to you | 19:42 |
| ikonia | both will have pros/cons/restrictions | 19:42 |
| Jordan_U | !best | padmick | 19:43 |
| ubottu | padmick: 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. | 19:43 |

| Mech0z | if I want to launch sabnzbdplus with "sudo sabnzbdplus" but I want it to continue after I close that terminal, what do I put after the command? | 19:44 |
| zipper | hello | 19:45 |
| ikonia | padmick: yes and no, I rarley use it for home solutions, and few places use ubuntu in an enterprise configuration where I am, however when they do I configure it | 19:45 |
| OerHeks | Mech0z, sudo sabnvbdplus & | 19:45 |
| padmick | what is its purpose? anyway | 19:45 |
| Jordan_U | padmick: Apparmor is on by default, whith what the Ubuntu / package developers consider to be good defaults. I'd just trust them :) | 19:46 |
| ikonia | padmick: basically limits the way programs can run / interact with each other based on a set of rules you create | 19:46 |
| OerHeks | Mech0z, but if it is an GUi program, use gksudo | 19:46 |
| Mech0z | its not | 19:46 |
| padmick | so really apart from firewall and antivirus and stuff there is not much more i need to do | 19:47 |
| ikonia | well, you shouldn't need to run anti-virus | 19:47 |
| ikonia | the firewall base rules are fine | 19:47 |
| ikonia | and appamros base rules are fine | 19:47 |
| ikonia | so as I said "nothing" you need to do | 19:47 |
| padmick | ok just bein cautious =) | 19:48 |
| zixxy | Thanks again, trism. That work around got it done. | 19:48 |
| ikonia | padmick: yes, the default ubuntu setup will be fine for pretty much every user unless there are specific needs | 19:48 |
| trism | zixxy: excellent | 19:49 |
| OerHeks | padmick there is a wiki to read about it, and you find the answer of ikonia correct > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 19:49 |
| padmick | ok thanks | 19:49 |

| Hilikus | hey guys | 20:02 |
| stiv2k | i legitimately think ubuntu should make the window borders thicker........ | 20:03 |
| Hilikus | i installed ubuntu desktop on a computer with very few memory because i didn't have an ubuntu server disk with me, what can i do to turn it into something more server-like? i want to start by uninstalling all the gnome crap | 20:03 |
| stiv2k | resizing is hard! | 20:03 |
| Hilikus | i found some posts saying to do sudo apt-get remove gnome-desktop but that doesn't seem to work on 12.04 | 20:03 |
| OerHeks | stiv select window > ALt + F8 to resize | 20:04 |
| stiv2k | OerHeks wtf | 20:04 |
| h00k | Hilikus: you could install from the minimal CD, that may save you lots of work | 20:04 |
| stiv2k | OerHeks that seems to only grab it from the top | 20:05 |
| ceege | you can change grub to only boot to text mode | 20:05 |
| Hilikus | no, no otjher option. i only had the ubuntu desktop disk | 20:05 |
| Hilikus | its done anyway, any idea how to remove all gnome? | 20:05 |
| stiv2k | why must people have to show me 6 different alternate ways of resizing? why can you just make the window border a little thicker so i can resize the normal way? the way every other OS in the world is? | 20:05 |
| OerHeks | stiv2k, yes, or sideways. alt + left-mouse grabs the window | 20:05 |
| zixxy | stiv2k, well I would assume because they're trying to help you and most likely have no part of the development of Ubuntu... | 20:06 |
| ceege | Hilikus - you should be able to apt-get purge xorg and gdm | 20:06 |
| Jordan_U | stiv2k: Ranting here isn't helpfull, and is offtopic. If you have a support question, please ask it, if you want Ubuntu's default configuration to be changed then file a bug report (or as one likely already exists, mark your self as "affected by" it so that it gets more "heat" in launchpad and thus possibly a higher priority). | 20:07 |
| Hilikus | ceege Package gdm is not installed, so not removed | 20:07 |
| ceege | how about xorg? | 20:07 |
| stiv2k | Jordan_U just saying, why would anyone make it that way | 20:07 |
| stiv2k | its very unintuitive | 20:07 |
| stiv2k | i thought ubuntu was supposed to be easy | 20:07 |
| ceege | or just leave x installed and tell grub to boot to text only mode | 20:07 |
| Dailycomputing | can you guys help me with ubuntu? | 20:07 |
| Jordan_U | stiv2k: This channel is for Ubuntu support questions only, not for "just saying" things. | 20:07 |

| OerHeks | stiv2k, it is easy, a smart help appears when you hold windowskey | 20:08 |
| Hilikus | ceege: that only uninstalls xorg, not all the gnome applications | 20:08 |
| primefalcon | stiv2k, it does but this is a help channel for tech help | 20:08 |

I was running 12.04 and my machine crashed. fsck ran on startup, but it seemed like it was stuck so I ignored the error, figuring I could fix it later. The root file system was mounted read only and I...ran fsck manually. Now that drive won't boot the system at all. I can still mount it and am in the process of getting my /home (and /etc?) files off before I do a | 20:26 |
| Foolish | I'd like to preserve the packages I've already installed instead of trying to remember everything, so I want to pull a list of manually installed packages off the drive somehow. All of the stuff I found searching the web telling me how to do this seems to assume I can boot the system. | 20:26 |
| drag0nius | im getting bad command line argument(s) with "ethtool -s eth1 speed 1000 full" | 20:26 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 20:26 |
| whateverman | hello | 20:27 |
| whateverman | :) | 20:27 |
| whateverman | wow..flashback to age 14 | 20:27 |
| guntbert | whateverman: Do you have an ubuntu support question? | 20:27 |
| ceege | you can run dpkg --get-selections for the list | 20:27 |

| TheM4ch1n3 | whateverman: well don't keep us in suspense | 20:28 |
| whateverman | :) | 20:28 |
| whateverman | well..it's the most common question ever | 20:28 |
| whateverman | what should I install - 32 or 64 bit? | 20:28 |
| Slart | Hello, I'm looking for a way to mark packets going from internet to a specific ip (nat'ed) using iptables.. where should I put this rule? I was thinking it should go into mangle, postrouting but it's not working. Hints? | 20:28 |
| whateverman | I'm asking because I've read the documentation | 20:28 |
| vrdf | Hi there. Is it possible to use freemind with java7 instead of 6 on 12.04? | 20:28 |
| MonkeyDust | whateverman if your hardware supports 64bit, you can use that | 20:28 |
| guntbert | !enter | whateverman | 20:28 |
| ubottu | whateverman: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:28 |
| TheM4ch1n3 | whateverman: well, I use 32bit just fine, but if you wish to run 64bit stuff, or use >4gb of memory it would be a good idea to use the 64bit version | 20:29 |
| whateverman | sorry | 20:29 |
| whateverman | Th | 20:29 |
| wolter | why do only certain locales appear in the Language Support settings configuration window? | 20:29 |
| whateverman | TheM4ch1n3: well the reason I'm asking is because one doc says that any system that has 64-bit architecture should install 64-bit, but another doc says that if you have less than 4GB you should run the 32 bit | 20:30 |
| Foolish | Thank you to the people who offered suggestions for my problem, and maybe it's me who's not understadning something, but I can't boot the system. Won't any dpkg, apptitude, or any other command only get information for the system that's running? How do I get information from a mounted drive? | 20:31 |
| bekks | whateverman: I am installing 64bit on 64bit capable machines, no matter how much/less RAM they have. | 20:31 |
| ceege | run a live CD and chroot yourself into the drive | 20:31 |
| MonkeyDust | Foolish do you have more than one pc in the same network? | 20:31 |
| Slart | whateverman: 64-bit hardware can run both 64 and 32 bit.. 32 bit is historically more common and even today there are some things that are not available in 64bit (some online banking software and such) | 20:31 |
| whateverman | ok I have a confession | 20:32 |
| Foolish | Yeah. I've got several, and in fact I'm running right now on the same machine, just booting from a different hard drive. chroot seems to be the answer, and I didn't think of that. Thank you ceege. | 20:32 |
| whateverman | :P I did install 64-bit version but I'm suffering from a lag and overall sluggishness | 20:32 |
| Slart | whateverman: 64bit gives you some advantages though.. the most prominent one is that you can use more than 4 GB of memory.. other than that it's more about personal taste.. | 20:33 |
| MonkeyDust | Foolish ssh to the not-working pc and continue from there, copy package selections etc | 20:33 |
| vrdf | 64bits is more than just extended addresses for x86, it is overall better, just some extra caching pressure and more memory specially on many multilib | 20:33 |
| === robson is now known as Guest7641 | ||
| Slart | whateverman: I doubt that is because you're running 64 bit.. but who knows.. computers are weird =) | 20:33 |
| whateverman | i hate to say it but I've tried it all | 20:34 |
| vrdf | unfortunately there is no x32 ubuntu version I am aware of yet | 20:34 |
| Slart | whateverman: why not try a 32 bit live cd.. see if that behaves better. It might save you a lot of trial-and-error | 20:34 |
| whateverman | I did try the live cd but it doesn't has the "feel" like the installed version | 20:35 |
| bekks | vrdf: So you think i386 is 16bit? | 20:35 |
| Slart | whateverman: but compare 32 bit live to the 64 bit live.. does the 64 bit version have the lag and whatnot? if they are the same it's probably something else that is making your system behave badly | 20:36 |
| whateverman | I tried lots of versions of linux....fedora, ubuntu, mint, pinguy, etc, and all of them are quite sluggish | 20:36 |
| wolter | why do only certain locales appear in the Language Support settings configuration window? | 20:36 |
| dezertir | there are people of America who do not mind to talk with a Russian man? Those who have a desire to please write in private. thank you | 20:36 |
| whateverman | I managed to install Gnome-shell and it's ok but not perfect | 20:36 |
| Slart | wolter: I'm not entirely sure but I think locales might have to be generated before you can use them.. (or installed) | 20:36 |
| stiv2k | something is definitely wrong with my ubuntu... it never remembers my monitor settings and none of the 3d functions work even though i am using the binary nvidia driver | 20:37 |
| whateverman | all of them are not like Windows...and darn it, I have no one to ask but you guys : | 20:37 |
| wolter | Slart, yeah I generated a custom one with dpkg-reconfigure but still no luck :/ | 20:37 |
| wolter | the locale command does say I have applied it correctly though | 20:37 |
| MonkeyDust | whateverman what's keeping you from creating your own distro, if you like none of them? | 20:37 |

| bekks | vrdf: Thats an x86-64 ABI with 32bit pointers. | 20:38 |
| wolter | Slart, not yet but I am going to test it soon, just finishing an install | 20:38 |
| whateverman | of course you can buddy | 20:38 |
| Slart | whateverman: you won't get a system that behaves the same way as a windows system.. linux has its own advantages and disadvantages.. you just learn to live with a different set of annoying things =) | 20:38 |
| whateverman | good one slart | 20:39 |

| hilarie | I have a silly question... so I have an internet connection, modem, directly connected to my home server, which then connects to my wifi router (netgear n600) is there a way to make it so my server doesn't look at all traffic as though it was coming directly from the router, but from the devices connected to it? | 21:27 |
| brett__ | bekks: ok, that's what i was fearing may be the case. thanks | 21:27 |
| eph3meral | hilarie, yes it's called VPN | 21:27 |
| thecarlhall | stripe, if it's any consolation, I'm using ubuntu with a GeForce 8400 GS | 21:27 |
| eph3meral | hilarie, another option is setting up an SSH tunnel | 21:27 |
| eph3meral | hilarie, those are your two basic choices for this | 21:27 |
| eph3meral | i'm on a GeForce 8600 GT | 21:28 |
| hilarie | So there is no way for it without setup on each computer? | 21:28 |
| eph3meral | not too far away, it's been just fine for me | 21:28 |
| eph3meral | hilarie, no | 21:28 |
| eph3meral | hilarie, each computer will require setup, that is correct | 21:28 |
| hilarie | I would have to go buy a switch for that right? | 21:28 |
| eph3meral | uhh... no? | 21:28 |
| Some_Person | Do the standard Ubuntu Server discs include a live environment? | 21:28 |
| k1l | Some_Person: no | 21:29 |
| eph3meral | don't think you need a switch, just make sure to open up your wireless router to let the connections come in for the VPN or SSH server | 21:29 |
| k1l | Some_Person: use the desktop cd fo a live enviroment | 21:29 |
| hilarie | eph3meral, I was just hoping to be able to do it in a straightforward way, I have both ubuntu and windows computers at home | 21:29 |
| eph3meral | hilarie, that process is called "port forwarding" also sometimes known as "opening a port" - though if you learn about firewall rules the pedantic ones will tell you there's no such thing :P | 21:29 |
| eph3meral | but those are the common names for the process | 21:30 |
| hilarie | eph3meral, I get all of that, but every piece of traffic that the server sees is coming from the router, its doesn't see that, Its a 2nd 'nat'? | 21:30 |
| eph3meral | hilarie, sorry I don't quite follow, and I've gtg keep working, good luck | 21:31 |
| sleax | hi to all, i've a problem with openssh, in server-side i implemented the "authorized_keys" method and it works. So i tried to add the directive "from="192.168.1.101" (client ip address) at the start of "~/.ssh/authorized_keys" and it doesn't work.However if i change it to "192.168.*"it works. why? | 21:31 |
| eph3meral | hilarie, if you explain a little more generally (like I'm an alien) what you want, i might be able to suggest some things | 21:31 |
| eph3meral | like, the real world, "I want my game to connect from the computer to that one so me and a friend can play" | 21:31 |
| eph3meral | like, what are you actually doing? | 21:31 |
| stripe | thecarlhall, according to the nvidia site the gts450 is supported, but I dont understand why it wont work with ubuntu, I give up. | 21:32 |
| thecarlhall | stripe, do you get any clues from dmesg? | 21:32 |
| hilarie | setting up squid3 as a proxycache, and to be able to control access, but the server only sees things as coming from one source, so its all or nothing, I can have the internet on, or off, but can't kick the kids off at night and leave it on for me | 21:32 |
| wawowe | sleax: if you want to use authorized keys generate one from the client machine and add it to the server | 21:33 |
| hilarie | Direct link from server to wifi router, and the server thinks the wifi router is the only ip address it ever gets requests from | 21:33 |
| wawowe | sleax: don't use ips | 21:33 |
| sleax | yes, i done this. I generated a pair key, the private is stored on client, the public is authorized in "authorized_keys" and it works. When i tried the option for apply any restriction, such as "from="IP" with from="192.168.1.101" (ip client) it doesn't work, with from="192.168.*" yes. | 21:35 |
| josedelaguia_ | Soy nuevo alguien me puede enviar a un canal para consultar dudas en español?? | 21:35 |
| wawowe | hilarie: most routers have a way to assign ip's to a mac address and block traffic based on times | 21:35 |
| hilarie | wawowe, the problem is the router is acting as a nat, I think I figured it out | 21:36 |

| wawowe | sleax: why do you need it to only allow from a certain ip when you have a key? | 21:37 |
| sleax | because if the key is stolen, anyone who have the private key can access from anywhere | 21:38 |
| ceege | you can use /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny | 21:38 |
| wawowe | sleax: the key can't be stolen unless someone mananges to brute there way in | 21:38 |
| wawowe | sleax: and in that case it wouldn't matter | 21:39 |
| wawowe | sleax: vs if someone on your local network wanted in all they'd have to do is set their ip | 21:39 |
| stripe | thecarlhall, had a look at dmesg, but it is all gibberish to me, I think I nedd a linux for idiots irc channel, thanks again for your time but I think I will have to find a idiot friendly distro | 21:39 |
| beandog | stripe: what are you trying to do? | 21:39 |
| sleax | from the man page "The purpose of this option is to optionally increase security: public key authentication by itself does not trust the network or name servers or anything (but the key); however, if somebody somehow steals the key, the key permits an intruder to log in from anywhere in the world. This additional option makes using a stolen key more difficult (name servers and/or routers would have to be compromised in ad | 21:40 |
| sleax | dition to just the key)." | 21:40 |
| wawowe | sleax: if you need it to only allow ssh traffic from a certain ip, use iptables | 21:40 |
| beandog | sleax: you still need the passphrase. Just having the key doesn't do anything | 21:40 |
| stripe | beandog, work out why the nvidia-current driver doesnt work with my card and kills the sound as well | 21:41 |
| === Drain is now known as Guest71670 | ||
| wawowe | sleax: right, now give a for instance of how someone would steal the key | 21:41 |
| beandog | stripe: oh. that sucks. :( | 21:41 |
| wawowe | beandog: if the server is allowing passwordless logins, then only the key is needed | 21:41 |
| sleax | but if the option is implemented, it should work. I was only reading the manual for testing. | 21:41 |
| beandog | wawowe: well, yah, if the passphrase is empty | 21:42 |
| BluesKaj | stripe, have you installed restricted drivers , I have to ask , maybe the post install driver will work better | 21:42 |
| sleax | wawowe: i just wanted to say what i mistaked in trying option,nothing else | 21:42 |
| wawowe | beandog: you can allow a passwordless login in ~/.ssh by adding a key. even if they have a password set, it won't ask for it in that case | 21:43 |
| LLStarks | j #verizons3 | 21:43 |
| beandog | wawowe: you mean the public key? | 21:43 |
| stripe | BluesKaj, the post instaqll driver nouveau I beleve is unusable with the ammount of screen tearing | 21:43 |
| wawowe | sleax: i've never used that option, but like i said you can use iptables to do what you're trying to | 21:43 |
| beandog | sleax: what are trying to do, exactly? I came in halfway through | 21:43 |
| wawowe | beandog: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub | 21:44 |
| beandog | wawowe: what does that have to do with anything? If youre using public key authentication, you need the private key, plus the public key in authorized_hosts | 21:44 |
| beandog | wawowe: maybe I'm not understanding you though -_- What would you do with the file in /etc? | 21:45 |
| sleax | wawowe: my authorized_keys file looks like this: from="192.168.1.101" ssh-rsa //RSA_ENCRYPTED.pub// //any_comment// | 21:45 |
| wawowe | beandog: if you have the public key in authorized_hosts, of each machine in each home directory then it won't ask for a password | 21:45 |
| sleax | wawowe: so, it doesn't work. with from="192.168.*" yes | 21:45 |
| beandog | wawowe: *IF* it's without a passphrase | 21:45 |
| beandog | then yes | 21:46 |
| beandog | I'm talking about private key password, not user password | 21:46 |
| BluesKaj | stripe, nouveau is listed as the post install driver ? | 21:46 |
| sleax | wawowe: why if i'm trying with a client ip address who is 192.168.1.101? | 21:46 |
| stripe | BluesKaj, I think thats the opensource one thats used with nvidia cards | 21:47 |
| beandog | When you do ssh-keygen, that's the passphrase you setup. You need that to unlock your private key, then have the pub key setup on the remote host to even get in | 21:47 |
| beandog | two-factor authentication | 21:47 |
| wawowe | sleax: i don't know, but again you can use iptables to restrict traffic over port 22 to 192.168.1.101 | 21:47 |
| wawowe | beandog: usually the private key is random | 21:48 |
| sleax | ok, thanks anyway! :-) but i left with the doubt | 21:48 |
| boshco | Hello i have a trouble with ubuntu 10.10 and my graphic card Nvidia Geforce 6200 PCI | 21:48 |
| wawowe | beandog: i mean there's no passphrase | 21:49 |
| BluesKaj | stripe, yes nouveau is default at first install until the the recommended additional driver is installed | 21:49 |
| Pecker | boshco: what is going on exactly | 21:49 |
| MonkeyDust | boshco it's because 10.10 is EOL, no longer valid or supported | 21:49 |
| beandog | wawowe: well, yah, if you're running cron jobs or something. But the normal process is to put a passphrase. | 21:49 |
| beandog | I mean, it asks for one right there. | 21:49 |
| boshco | what is E0L? im begginer | 21:49 |
| beandog | end of life | 21:49 |

| beandog | no longer supported | 21:49 |
| wawowe | asks you to input random keystrokes until it's satisfied it has enough to generate a secure key | 21:50 |
| MonkeyDust | boshco your ubuntu version is too old | 21:50 |
| beandog | wawowe: oh THAT. That's for entropy. That's not related to creating a passphrase. | 21:50 |
| boshco | yes but my PC is old | 21:50 |
| wawowe | entropy? | 21:50 |
| stripe | BluesKaj, going to try a fresh install, just in case it didnt install correctly(the cd md5 sum was ok though) | 21:50 |
| beandog | wawowe: see I knew we were off somewhere. :) | 21:50 |
| MonkeyDust | boshco my pc too, but it has 12.04 | 21:50 |
| boshco | and i use ubuntu tweak for update | 21:50 |
| beandog | wawowe: it helps the computer to generate enough randomness so it can create a key | 21:51 |
| beandog | wawowe: that doesn't have anything to do with how you actually use the key though | 21:51 |
| MonkeyDust | !es| boshco | 21:51 |
| ubottu | boshco: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 21:51 |
| beandog | it's just the software generating a key | 21:51 |
| boshco | thank you | 21:51 |
| beandog | boshco: exito | 21:52 |
| ceege | you don't have to run an old version of ubuntu on an old PC. you just need to run a less graphic-instense desktop - like LXDE | 21:52 |
| boshco | see you | 21:53 |
| BluesKaj | stripe, nouveau has a lot of fans , it works well on some setups and I couldn't really tell much difference between it and the nvidia-current | 21:53 |

| === lubmilk is now known as lubmil | ||
| dklsllsl | i used iptables -L command | 22:05 |
| dklsllsl | in terminal | 22:05 |
| dklsllsl | fail2ban produced this list i dont know much about computers but am assuming these are the naughty ips | 22:05 |
| i7c | dklsllsl: these are all local ips if i see this right. | 22:06 |
| dklsllsl | oh | 22:06 |
| i7c | dklsllsl: meaning from your local network at home | 22:06 |

| flonk | Hi! I hope i don't offend anyone, but i could really need some help fixing my SSH problem. I made a thread at stackoverflow, here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11421840/ssh-not-working-connection-refused | 22:06 |
| === root is now known as Guest48946 | ||
| dklsllsl | have i given anything i shouldnt away | 22:07 |
| i7c | flonk: why are you afraid to offend anyone. don't worry, this channel is for help ;) | 22:07 |
| dklsllsl | no im not on an area networl | 22:07 |
| flonk | i7c: cheers :) | 22:07 |
| dklsllsl | its a post office dsl thing | 22:07 |
| dklsllsl | adsl | 22:07 |
| dklsllsl | using phone line and thats it wired up not wireless | 22:08 |
| i7c | flonk: obvously (according to your netstat output) ssh only listens to ipv6 ? | 22:08 |
| ceege | dklslss- those IPs are local only, so you don't have to worry about them unless you suspect people doing bad things on your LAN | 22:08 |
| dklsllsl | ok thanks | 22:08 |
| dklsllsl | how do you know that | 22:08 |
| dklsllsl | would love to know myself | 22:08 |
| flonk | How do i fix it? I tried editing the sshd_conf file | 22:08 |
| dklsllsl | ho hum thanks again | 22:09 |
| ceege | google non routeable IPs | 22:09 |
| flonk | Adding ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 | 22:09 |
| flonk | And removing the ListenAddress :: part which i assume is ipv6 | 22:09 |
| beandog | flonk: pastebin ssh -v | 22:10 |
| i7c | flonk: actually you can remove all the "listenaddress" lines from sshd_config. | 22:10 |
| beandog | er, ssh -v <connection stuff> | 22:10 |
| i7c | flonk: and also: you need to restart the service after changing settings | 22:11 |
| flonk | http://pastebin.com/i3qLeaq9 | 22:11 |
| flonk | actually | 22:11 |
| flonk | when i go: sudo service ssh start | 22:11 |
| flonk | it says it stats | 22:11 |
| flonk | starts | 22:11 |
| flonk | But how do i confirm that? | 22:11 |
| beandog | flonk: pidof sshd | 22:11 |
| beandog | er | 22:11 |
| beandog | yah | 22:11 |
| beandog | if it's non-blank, it's running | 22:12 |

| flonk | Long story short, it's my home server, has been working fine for a year. I took it down to add a few extra disks to it, everything works but ssh | 22:13 |
| flonk | It responds to ping, apache is up, samba works | 22:13 |
| flonk | everything but ssh | 22:13 |
| flonk | The ports are forwarded correctly, there is no DCHP stuff going on, it has its own address and there are no conflicts etc | 22:14 |
| i7c | flonk: on your server: sudo iptables -L output? | 22:14 |
| flonk | There's nothing in there | 22:15 |
| flonk | three categories with nothing in them | 22:15 |
| i7c | flonk: and policies set to accept then, i guess. ok | 22:15 |
| i7c | flonk: well purge and reinstall sshd | 22:16 |
| flonk | Tried that | 22:16 |
| beandog | flonk: do you mind doing a pastebin of your sshd config | 22:16 |
| flonk | Three times | 22:16 |
| ceege | hosts.allow/deny? | 22:16 |
| beandog | ceege: oh, good call | 22:16 |
| beandog | he might have locked himself out | 22:16 |
| flonk | Is there an easy way to do that? I have it hooked up to my telly with an old keyboard. | 22:16 |
| beandog | flonk: pastebin /etc/hosts.deny | 22:16 |
| beandog | flonk: nopaste <file> | 22:16 |
| beandog | flonk: cat foo | nopaste | 22:16 |
| beandog | etc, etc. | 22:16 |
| flonk | I only have command line on the server and i'm not great at it tbh :D | 22:17 |
| beandog | flonk: make it easy on yourself. Look at /etc/hosts.deny and see if anything is in there | 22:17 |
| beandog | don't need to paste anything, just check that | 22:17 |
| flonk | Everything in there is commented out | 22:17 |
| beandog | Okay | 22:17 |
| LLStarks | what's the proper way to build wine in ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10? | 22:17 |
| beandog | Hmm | 22:17 |
| flonk | i assume, all lines starts with # | 22:17 |
| beandog | Something fishy. | 22:17 |
| Jordan_U | flonk: As a test can you try booting from a LiveCD/USB and inatalling openssh-server and check if that works? | 22:17 |
| jthan | LLStarks: Use the software center | 22:18 |
| beandog | flonk: and you can ping that IP address? | 22:18 |
| flonk | Yes | 22:18 |
| beandog | it looks like it is just completely dropping the connection | 22:18 |
| flonk | I can ftp into it, i can see the webserver | 22:18 |
| i7c | flonk: have you tried an ssh 127.0.0.1 on the server? | 22:18 |
| beandog | flonk: well, you could always run a second SSH server | 22:18 |
| flonk | Yep, that doesnt work either | 22:18 |
| flonk | It's very wierd | 22:19 |
| beandog | flonk: oh I know | 22:19 |
| i7c | flonk: do you have a port conflict on the ipv4 port? | 22:19 |
| i7c | flonk: because your netstat in your thread only showed ipv6 port | 22:19 |
| beandog | flonk: on the target machine run this: sudo tail -f /var/log/auth.log | 22:19 |
| beandog | then try an SSH attempt, and see if it logs anything | 22:20 |
| flonk | Hmm it doesn't seem too | 22:21 |
| === Myr is now known as Myr|Away | ||

| i7c | flonk: and connect to the other (after restarting service) | 22:22 |
| TeknoJuce | anyone know how to open 4 different screen sessions not (-t) via scripting it gets pretty crazy when I try it opens one then you close one then it open the next | 22:23 |
| TeknoJuce | etc | 22:23 |
| flonk | Netstat doesnt return anything on port 22 now | 22:23 |
| flonk | im trying switching ports | 22:23 |
| jthan | TeknoJuce: You want to open something specific in each of them, or? | 22:24 |

| hazamonzo | Hey folks. I just need to setup a simple ftp server on my local machine. I want to use vsftpd and localhost. Is this possible? | 22:27 |
| Dr_willis | hazamonzo, should be. but why do you need ftp? | 22:28 |
| hazamonzo | I had a quick read of https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html but when i test a connect to the FTP server using localhost i get no connection | 22:28 |
| hazamonzo | Dr_willis: Oh its just some silly thing im trying to do. I just need to test some code that uploads files to FTP | 22:28 |
| flonk | Alright this is wierd when i go "sudo service ssh stop" is says "stop: unknown instance" but when i go "sudo service ssh start" is says "ssh/start running, process 1xxx" | 22:29 |
| beandog | flonk: thats ... weird | 22:29 |
| beandog | flonk: oh, do this | 22:29 |
| beandog | sec | 22:29 |
| flonk | cool | 22:29 |
| kristenbb | hi, I've lost my sound icon on 12.04. How to get it back ? | 22:29 |
| i7c | flonk: it isn't weird | 22:29 |
| TeknoJuce | jthan, this was the command I was using screen -S SCREENNAME irssi -c irc.freenode.net -n USERNICK -h USERHOST | 22:29 |
| ceege | try /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 22:29 |
| i7c | flonk: if it does not run and you stop it it says "unknown instance" | 22:30 |
| hazamonzo | Dr_willis: With the basic install of vsftp should i be able to connect to localhost or do i need more config? | 22:30 |
| beandog | flonk: do this: sudo service ssh stop; sudo sshd | 22:30 |
| beandog | and see what it does | 22:30 |
| beandog | that'll run it in the forgeground | 22:30 |

| LLStarks | what's the proper way to build wine in ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10? | 22:30 |
| LLStarks | BUILD | 22:30 |
| jthan | TeknoJuce: Okay - and what was your issue with that? | 22:30 |
| i7c | LLStarks: idk exactly, donwload source, run configure run make install? | 22:31 |
| jthan | TeknoJuce: If you want to script it to open four, you would just repeat said command with ";" in the middle of them. | 22:31 |
| flonk | "stop: unknown instance: sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path" | 22:31 |
| albru123 | What's normall time of Ubuntu 12.04 installation in VirtualBox? | 22:31 |
| LLStarks | you can't build 32-bit wine on 64-bit ubuntu | 22:31 |
| LLStarks | since 12.04 | 22:31 |
| i7c | flonk: well yeh i get the same error, my sshd works ^^ | 22:31 |
| LLStarks | i want to know how to get around this | 22:31 |
| TeknoJuce | jthan, dont know much about scripting so when I run it four times in a script it waits until you close the first screen until it runs the next | 22:31 |
| flonk | i7c: lol | 22:31 |
| jthan | TeknoJuce: ahhh, yeah. I hear you. One more second here.. | 22:32 |
| jthan | TeknoJuce: there is a flag you can specify to start the screen session without attaching to it ;-) | 22:32 |
| jthan | TeknoJuce: http://rpatterson.net/blog/screen-sessions-at-boot | 22:32 |

| philmeister | Hello. I have two monitors set up in twinview (nvidia). Though everytime i boot my computer, only my right monitor works and i have to go into nvidia x server settings to enable my primary one | 22:33 |
| albru123 | installing ubuntu more than hour, annoying | 22:33 |
| philmeister | Anybody got a clue what the problem might be? | 22:33 |
| jthan | TeknoJuce: That should just keep you at the same prompt, which would allow the next one to run. Also, could try "&&" instead of ";" | 22:33 |
| i7c | philmeister: did you use that one option (forget how the button is labled exactly). saying something like write X config file | 22:34 |
| TeknoJuce | ok I will read this over and try your suggestions | 22:34 |
| jthan | TeknoJuce: let me know how you make out. I'm going to be here for about another 10 minutes | 22:34 |
| philmeister | i7c: haven't seen an option like that mate | 22:34 |
| flonk | beandog and i7c are we out of ideas? I'm at a loss here! :) | 22:34 |
| Hexeon | how do I get into root >_< su asks me for a password but it never prompted me for a root password during installation | 22:35 |
| beandog | flonk: at this point, I'd install dropbear, run it on port 222, and forget the whole thing | 22:35 |
| i7c | flonk: mhm well...did you try stupid stuff like rebooting? | 22:35 |
| flonk | i7c: yeah multiple times | 22:35 |
| arian- | can any body answer me? | 22:35 |
| KornKage2 | philmeister theres a button below saying write/save configuration(saves x config file), if u are gonna save, i suggest you pick a different name | 22:35 |
| philmeister | i7c: Do you happen to mean "Include X Display Names in Config File"? | 22:36 |
| kristenbb | hi, I've lost my sound icon on 12.04. How to get it back ? | 22:36 |
| TeknoJuce | jthan do you think this is not the greatest way to run irc for 4 mobile clients that Mirc clients really suck for timing out to login to the server and connect to a screen running irssi instead? | 22:36 |
| flonk | beandog: i'll try that | 22:36 |
| philmeister | Oh, wait | 22:36 |
| beandog | flonk: aptitude install dropbear; edit /etc/default/dropbear and set NO_START to 0 and DROPBEAR_PORT to 222; then ssh -p 222 <connection stuff> | 22:36 |
| philmeister | think i found it | 22:36 |
| i7c | philmeister: :) | 22:36 |
| beandog | flonk: oh, and of course, sudo service dropbear restart after changing defaults | 22:36 |
| i7c | kristenbb: which DE? | 22:37 |
| philmeister | KornKage2: What do you mean with pick another name? | 22:37 |
| kristenbb | i7c: unity | 22:37 |

| beandog | flonk is mysteriously quiet, so I hope that means something is working. :) | 22:38 |
| i7c | kristenbb: uuuh well, i dont know unity too well. poke some ppl here, they sure know | 22:38 |
| flonk | beandog: that worked lol | 22:38 |
| flonk | Thanks alot | 22:38 |
| beandog | yay | 22:38 |
| jthan | TeknoJuce: There is probably a better way, but I don't know what that would be. | 22:38 |
| kristenbb | @everyone poking you. | 22:38 |
| beandog | flonk: if you *want* | 22:38 |
| flonk | I could uninstall openssh and make dropbear port 22 no? | 22:38 |
| TeknoJuce | jthan ok so I guess this will have to suffice for now | 22:39 |
| beandog | flonk: you can remove openssh-server, and change the default port for dropbear to 22, then you won't need to pass the port paramater anymore | 22:39 |
| flonk | ;) | 22:39 |
| jthan | TeknoJuce: Yeah, if it works at least it will get you by until you find a "real" solution ;-) | 22:39 |
| flonk | Ill try that, i'll be crying in a minute if it fails lol | 22:39 |
| i7c | flonk: last week i changed a bunch of settings on my server which is 400km away... if this goes wrong you can cry ;) | 22:40 |

| flonk | again, thanks alot! | 22:41 |

| Rikairchy | all software should follow Cisco's principles. Pay for everything. Support, custom hardware, everything. A little like Apple with actual quality. With excellent customer support like Chase bank. With the dependability of an erection, and the pleasure of its use. If not, we should force all software to become proprietary with a fee to edit or update. Speaking of updates, it should follow | 22:44 |
| Rikairchy | Microsoft's policy: every update needs a restart with a 40% change of a system failure needing servicing, which will be overpriced. | 22:44 |
| kristenbb | i7c: I've been on that page | 22:44 |
| Rikairchy | can you guys make the wubi for it? | 22:44 |
| i7c | kristenbb: oh no, it's not a match to yours i guess | 22:44 |
| BitWraith | I get an import error at the "from log import *" line in my script | 22:44 |
| TeknoJuce | jthan strange it connects the screen then terminates it then moves on to the next one and does the same.. | 22:44 |
| kristenbb | i7c: If I type gnome-sound-applet, the processs starts, but nothing happens | 22:44 |
| BitWraith | well, not *my* script, I didn't write it | 22:45 |
| philmeister | i7c: Ok, now on boot both monitors are working. Though I have another problem. The dash is on both monitors, and I only want it on the left (primary) one. I know it's possible, but dont know how | 22:45 |
| i7c | Rikairchy: i guess this is not the place for whatever this is what you are trying to say. | 22:45 |
| Dr_willis | philmeister, thats a setting.. top left gear menu, one of the idems in there. 'displays' or monitors or somthing like that | 22:45 |
| Dr_willis | philmeister, check box at the bottom of the config window i recall. | 22:46 |
| i7c | kristenbb: what have you changed that it went away? | 22:46 |
| philmeister | Dr_willis: Sorry mate, you lost me. Where is that setting? I'm very new to ubuntu | 22:46 |
| kristenbb | i7c: nothing | 22:46 |
| kristenbb | i7c: as far as I know | 22:46 |
| kristenbb | i7c: I just noticed it was gone, just like that. sounds works though. And the alert appears if I change the volume up or down. | 22:47 |
| Dr_willis | philmeister, look under the icons at the top right Icon.. its in there soemwhere | 22:47 |
| i7c | kristenbb: is there a way to edit the panel in unity? :/ i know nothing about unity, sorry | 22:48 |
| philmeister | Dr_willis: What top right icon lol? Where in ubuntu are we xD. nvidia x server settings or what? | 22:48 |
| i7c | could anybody else answer the question please? there must be someone using unity.... | 22:48 |
| Dr_willis | philmeister, under either displays, or monitors.. i recall.. Unity has some menus at the TOP RIGHT where you get to some system settings. | 22:49 |
| trism | kristenbb: indicator-sound not gnome-sound-applet (which won't show up by default since notification area apps much be whitelisted) | 22:49 |
| kristenbb | i7c: it is said that right clicking with alt pressed (and super too, for unity 3d, which is my case) should do something peculiar, and launch the panel editor or something, but I haven't seen anything special when I do this shortcut | 22:49 |
| ceege | I think alot of people switch OFF unity and use cinnamon or lxde | 22:49 |
| philmeister | Dr_willis: Yeah, i got system settings opened | 22:50 |
| Dr_willis | I think a lot of people switch befor they give unity a chance.. and they will complain about anything anyway | 22:50 |
| Dr_willis | philmeister, one of the other icons in that same menu at the top right i recall. Im not on ubuntu so cant tell you more | 22:50 |
| i7c | kristenbb: look for pulseaudio maybe? | 22:50 |
| kristenbb | i7c: how is it related ? | 22:51 |
| trism | kristenbb: sudo apt-get install indicator-sound; | 22:51 |
| i7c | kristenbb: pulseaudio is the soundserver on most linux distributions... | 22:51 |
| kristenbb | trism: why should I install something ? It was working before... | 22:51 |
| trism | kristenbb: pastebin: apt-cache policy indicator-sound; then | 22:51 |
| philmeister | Dr_willis: sorry man, i dont think your recall is correct :P | 22:51 |
| ryan_46 | Dr_willis: displays is under the gear you click to shut down on top right | 22:52 |
| philmeister | Anybody else know how to only show the dash on one monitor instead of both in ubuntu 12.04 | 22:52 |
| kristenbb | indicator-sound: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.8.5.0-0ubuntu2.1 Version table: 0.8.5.0-0ubuntu2.1 0 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages 0.8.5.0-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages | 22:52 |
| trism | kristenbb: there you have it: sudo apt-get install indicator-sound; log out/back in | 22:52 |
| philmeister | Dr_willis: oh, i think i know what u mean now lol. Sorry for being stupid | 22:53 |
| philmeister | There is this button called "Displays" | 22:53 |
| kyle__ | what do you do/can you do if apt-get remove and apt-get purge fail removing something? tftpd-hpa in this case | 22:54 |
| philmeister | Dr_willis: It says I have one huge monitor with 3600 x 1080 resolution lol. | 22:54 |
| ceege | dpkg -L packagename to find out all the files installed and manually remove them | 22:55 |
| beandog | ceege: ew, I was gonna suggest that too, but I was thinking "there's gotta be a better way ...." | 22:55 |
| ceege | lol | 22:55 |
| ceege | yeah kinda ugly | 22:55 |
| OerHeks | kyle__, sometimes those files are in use, apache2 for example. | 22:55 |
| philmeister | Dr_willis: awesome, got it fixed! thanks alot | 22:55 |
| kyle__ | ceege: It tells me what files are there, but doesn't fix it. Still cant cleanly remove it. | 22:56 |
| ceege | that just shows all the files for that package, but as mentioned, you might blow something else up that depends one them | 22:56 |

| surge | I'm looking for a way to create a script that will execute an ethtool command every time a ubuntu 11.04 server boots up -- any ideas? | 23:04 |
| kristenbb | installing the package and logging back in fixed my sound issue. | 23:04 |
| surge | it needs to be run after the network has been loaded | 23:04 |
| surge | yay...^ gone! | 23:05 |
| digitalcake | I have nvidia drivers for my 260gtx with twin view and they work fine except when I want to watch a full screen video in flash or when I want to play a game in full screen mode (f11). The problem is, the screen spans both monitors. | 23:05 |
| kristenbb | what was the name of the package again ? | 23:05 |
| bulletmark | surge: just add the ethtool command at the end of /etc/rc.local | 23:06 |
| digitalcake | my question is, is there a way to force fullscreen mode to only show on the primary monitor? | 23:06 |
| ryan_46 | Where can I find the file to edit for which keyboard I use? | 23:07 |

| philmeister | So, I have installed teamspeak 3 on ubuntu 12.04. Is there a way to make a desktop shortcut for it? Atm I have to go into it's folder and run "ts3client_runscript.sh" | 23:10 |
| surge | thank you bulletmark | 23:11 |
| surge | i'll try that | 23:12 |
| surge | if the networks not up when that executes though i dont think it will work but might as well give it a shot | 23:12 |
| bulletmark | surge: It's where I run ethtool at bootup. Works for me. | 23:13 |
| surge | cool | 23:13 |
| kristenbb | how to list all installed packages since the ubuntu installation ? | 23:16 |
| jaequery | hi guys, in ubuntu 12.04, it seems sudo w/o password no longer works the same as before? | 23:16 |
| jaequery | i normally do, someuser ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL | 23:17 |
| jaequery | but on 12.04, no longer works, any ideea? | 23:17 |
| k1l_ | kristenbb: maybe take a look into the apt-log? another way is to get the whole installed packages listed by dpkg | 23:17 |
| kristenbb | not the whole list, just the ones manually installed | 23:18 |
| i7c | kristenbb: dpkg --get-selections | 23:18 |
| i7c | kristenbb: not possible that way. | 23:18 |
| kristenbb | where is the apt-log ? | 23:19 |
| i7c | kristenbb: /var/log/apt/history.log | 23:19 |
| k1l_ | /var/log/ | 23:19 |
| i7c | kristenbb: shows pretty much what you want. | 23:19 |
| ryan_46 | Where can I find the file to edit for which keyboard I use? Are they somewhere in /etc ? | 23:20 |
| bulletmark | kristenbb: actually it is /var/log/history.log* (older files are gzipped) | 23:20 |
| bulletmark | sorry /var/log/apt/history.log* | 23:20 |
| kristenbb | so how would I go to display the command line of all of these | 23:21 |
| beandog | ryan_46: I dunno, but I remember seeing a wiki page about it the other day | 23:22 |
| kristenbb | cat /var/log/apt/history.log* | grep Command ? I don't think the * works for zipped files | 23:22 |
| beandog | ryan-c: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KeyboardSettings | 23:22 |
| bulletmark | use zcat | 23:22 |
| beandog | that's for gz | 23:22 |
| ryan_46 | beandog: ok thanks | 23:23 |
| beandog | oh | 23:23 |
| beandog | logs | 23:23 |
| beandog | they're probably gzipped :) | 23:23 |
| kristenbb | but zcat only works for .gz, right ? | 23:23 |
| beandog | right | 23:23 |
| kristenbb | I want to display both | 23:23 |
| beandog | so zcat /foo/*gz | grep foo | 23:23 |
| kristenbb | I want to display both history.log and history.log.gz | 23:24 |
| beandog | dunno | 23:24 |
| beandog | I'm sure there's some string binary that concats two pipe outputs | 23:24 |
| beandog | no idea what though | 23:24 |
| beandog | heck, cat might do it | 23:24 |
| individual | why do you guys use linux | 23:24 |

| athom | I followed method 1 from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent/ as I like to have a regular install on my pendrive | 23:27 |
| individual | but now i am using PC because mac is retarded and slow | 23:27 |
| individual | like ubuntu | 23:27 |
| genii-around | individual: If you mean more like "is linux good to visit sketchy websites with" then yes | 23:27 |
| individual | and it gives me a headache | 23:27 |
| individual | (the interface) | 23:27 |
| Catbus_ | hey, ubuntu is not retarded | 23:28 |
| individual | it is? | 23:28 |
| athom | everything went fine (made swap and ext4 partitions) except for booting | 23:28 |
| individual | chrome doesn't even run | 23:28 |
| athom | I am confronted with the grub terminal (minimal bash-like line editing...) | 23:28 |
| individual | firefox dos i hear, but has just been made linux | 23:28 |
| Catbus_ | but you should google whether a laptop is compatible with ubuntu before yuou buy it and install it | 23:28 |
| Catbus_ | lest the graphics card be not supported | 23:28 |
| individual | this is a desktop | 23:29 |
| individual | yeah thats why linux sucks | 23:29 |
| Catbus_ | meh, same diff | 23:29 |
| athom | I tried to rebuild grub using terminal commands from live ubuntu, but that did not change a thing | 23:29 |
| athom | when running live ubuntu, the partitions are correctly read | 23:29 |

| genii-around | individual: chrome is not a standard part of ubuntu. Sorry to hear it's not working for you. | 23:29 |

| Catbus_ | every second? for a time for me it was more like one time in 5 | 23:34 |
| Catbus_ | :D i realise that's no help | 23:34 |
| === diegovieira is now known as Guest93763 | ||
| FoolsRun | catbus_ literally every second time. The second times it gives me the Grub menu and the non-graphical splash. No idea if that's what's helping :) | 23:34 |
| b2coutts_ | Hi, I want to make a bash script that SSH's me into a server. The server requires a password, is there a way for me to automate the password with the bash script, or will I have to manually enter it each time? | 23:35 |
| FoolsRun | I can't imagine how seeing the grub menu and the non-graphical splash would make a difference in booting | 23:35 |
| beandog | b2coutts_: you can use ssh public keys without a passphrase | 23:35 |
| Flynn | Anyone know why Xubuntu seems to save everything without me asking? | 23:35 |
| b2coutts_ | beandog: I have an account on the server I want to connect to, which allows me to access files I have on it | 23:35 |
| Flynn | I cleared my Xresources and Xdefaults and xrdb -merge and its still showing xterm's custom colors i set | 23:36 |
| bulletmark | b2coutts_: the proper way is to use a key with a pass-phrase. The pass-phrase will get cached in your ubuntu keychain after the first time you use it from login. | 23:36 |
| Catbus_ | b2coutts_, i have no idea but when i pass to SQL the format is username/password | 23:36 |
| Catbus_ | @domain | 23:36 |
| beandog | bulletmark: he wants to automate it | 23:37 |
| b2coutts_ | bulletmark: Do you mean ubuntu should automatically remember the password? I'm using a plaintext password that I chose, and I have to enter it every time I connect to the server | 23:37 |
| beandog | b2coutts_: no, create a public key. for passphrase, just hit enter (blank) | 23:37 |
| totesmuh1oats | hi friends | 23:37 |

| simplew | if i create a user with id less than 1000 kdm does not list it, why? | 23:37 |
| b2coutts_ | I was just wondering if there was a way to enter the password automatically via a bash script, i.e. echo password | ssh serveraddress | 23:38 |
| beandog | b2coutts_: ssh-keygen -t dsa | 23:38 |
| beandog | b2coutts_: then ssh-copy-id ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub foo@server | 23:38 |
| * genii-around sighs | 23:38 | |
| beandog | b2coutts_: then ssh as normal, and you're in | 23:38 |

| beandog | muellisoft: yah, I mentioned that | 23:46 |
| b2coutts_ | muellisoft: yeah, that's what I used | 23:46 |
| DeXtEr_ | hardly anything running just the essentials | 23:46 |

| Saeryn | DeXtEr_: What do you mean 'crashes' what happens? | 23:47 |
| DeXtEr_ | firewall, web browser | 23:47 |
| DeXtEr_ | just freezes | 23:47 |
| athom | could someone help me with the problem I described above, or at least hint me into the right direction? | 23:47 |
| wawowe | DeXtEr_: check ram and/or upgrade kernel | 23:47 |
| x1k | DeXtEr_: have you tried reproducing the bug by running in Unity2D, versus the 3D version? that may help determine if it is a system or video issue | 23:47 |
| DeXtEr_ | good idea thanks! | 23:48 |
| wawowe | or, yeah it could be a graphic driver issue | 23:48 |
| ghostchick | DeXtEr_, I think it maybe swapping off | 23:49 |

| OomElvis | Q: i want a simple program that connects to my pop3 mailbox and lets me see whats on the server (storing messages locally not necessary)... and allows me to delete straight off the server. basically so that i dont have to type so much in a telnet session | 23:53 |
| FoolsRun | Jordan_U: rebooting cleanly from a "working" boot gives me a non-working boot which can't be rebooted from. Powering off manually from THAT and powering on gives me a working boot. | 23:54 |

| Fishscene | Greetings everyone. I'm about to create an image for 33 computers for students. I have a file on the Desktop that I do not want students to delete or modify in any way - only to execute the script. Is there a way to disable students from deleting this file? | 23:54 |
| Fishscene | I've changed the owner and set the permissions in Nautilus to read only. But students can still send it to the trash and delete it. | 23:55 |
| ghostchick | Fishscene, chattr +i | 23:55 |
| Jordan_U | FoolsRun: I'm asking if you are crashed so badly that you can't use Sysrq magic to reboot more cleanly. You haven't answered that (or I misunderstood your answer). | 23:55 |
| Fishscene | ghostchick: I will look into this. Thanks! | 23:55 |
| ghostchick | Fishscene, You are welcome | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U | Fishscene: If a file is in a directory which they own, with only standard Unix permissions and no sticky bit, they can unlink it. That's normal. | 23:56 |
