| Blazemore | Hello shogunrisk | 11:14 |
| shogunrisk | hey by the way does anyone no where the z button is i have spent about 10 minutes looking for it | 11:14 |
| shogunrisk | oh dont worry just found it | 11:15 |
| Blazemore | This is a really interesting article https://www.readability.com/articles/vrwys1xa | 11:19 |
| pecc | hi, having trouble running µtorrent webui -- worked perfectly previously, now after boot "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080." tried to solve by using a similar problem's fix (toggle network.dns.disableIPv6 off) but it was already off... toggling my fresh VPN on/off also does nothing | 13:48 |
| Blazemore | pecc: On Ubuntu? | 13:49 |
| pecc | yes | 13:49 |
| Blazemore | WebUI is enabled? On port 8080? | 13:50 |
| pecc | it worked this morning | 13:50 |
| Blazemore | WebUI is enabled? On port 8080? | 13:50 |
| pecc | I did nothing but turn my hardware off | 13:50 |
| pecc | I dunno | 13:50 |
| Blazemore | ... | 13:50 |
| pecc | how do I check? | 13:50 |
| Blazemore | How did you turn it on? | 13:50 |
| Blazemore | I don't know, I don't use uTorrent. I imagine it'll be in the settings somewhere | 13:51 |
| Blazemore | Preferences -> Advanced -> WebUI | 13:51 |
| pecc | "Shut down" then wait until it's off, then cable off | 13:51 |
| Blazemore | What | 13:51 |
| pecc | uTorrent settings I presume? | 13:51 |
| Blazemore | Yes | 13:51 |
| pecc | 16:51 is how I turned it off | 13:52 |
| pecc | my computer | 13:52 |
| Blazemore | What I mean is, go to utorrent Preferences -> Advanced -> WebUI | 13:52 |
| pecc | uh, the problem is I cannot access my we server uTorrent :I thus I cannot touch its settings | 13:52 |
| Blazemore | Make sure WebUI is enabled in uTorrent, and that uTorrent is running | 13:52 |
| pecc | *web server | 13:52 |
| Blazemore | pecc: How are you running uTorrent on Ubuntu? | 13:52 |
| Blazemore | Explain to me your situation. What machine is running uTorrent, and what machine would you like to access the WebUI from? | 13:53 |
| pecc | afaik the only uTorrent version compatible with Linux is a web server version, and that's what I'm running | 13:53 |
| Blazemore | IDk what you're running, but it's not uTorrent | 13:53 |
| Blazemore | Where did you get it? | 13:53 |
| pecc | actually I have no idea where it's running but I installed it somehow and it's supposed to be related to localhost | 13:53 |
| pecc | a moment | 13:54 |
| pecc | http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux <from there | 13:55 |
| Blazemore | Oh OK | 13:55 |
| Blazemore | So you rebooted your machine that is running uTorrent? | 13:56 |
| Blazemore | Did you actually run uTorrent after you rebooted? | 13:56 |
| Blazemore | And then go to http://localhost:8080/gui ? | 13:56 |
| pecc | no, Foxy refuses to connect to localhost/8080/ | 13:56 |
| Blazemore | localhost:8080 | 13:56 |
| Blazemore | not localhost/8080 | 13:56 |
| Blazemore | and it's localhost:8080/gui | 13:56 |
| pecc | yes, typoed | 13:57 |
| Blazemore | OK | 13:57 |
| Blazemore | What's your ip? (run curl ifconfig.me) | 13:57 |
| pecc | (hey I know how to do that :D) | 13:57 |
| Blazemore | How did you install utorrent? | 13:57 |
| Blazemore | DOn't say "i downloaded the file" | 13:58 |
| Blazemore | After that, you must have used a terminal to install the files to the right locations | 13:58 |
| Blazemore | By the way, is there a reason you need to use uTorrent rather than a proper Linux bittorrent client like Deluge? | 13:58 |
| Blazemore | sudo apt-get install deluge | 13:59 |
| Blazemore | then run deluged | 13:59 |
| Blazemore | then run deluge-web --fork | 13:59 |
| Blazemore | Then you can access via http://your_ip:8112 | 13:59 |
| aasu | tell me good application of ubuntu | 14:11 |
| Dshx | hi | 14:11 |
| Dshx | hello, i have something challaging for you. i got kernel panic after an upgrade to 12.04 LTS and i want to fix that and bring the system up and running again. | 14:12 |
| Blazemore | Dshx: What did you upgrade from? | 14:12 |
| Dshx | 11.04 | 14:12 |
| Dshx | or wait, no | 14:13 |
| Dshx | 11.10 | 14:13 |
| Blazemore | Is there a way to cause the kernel panic, or is it random? | 14:13 |
| Dshx | no permission to boot from root sda | 14:13 |
| Blazemore | Sorry? | 14:13 |
| Dshx | wait, i give you the whole context | 14:14 |
| Blazemore | Yes please | 14:14 |
| Dshx | i try to boot from the recovery console (3.2.0-27) | 14:14 |
| Blazemore | I'll be back in about 10 minutes, please tell me everything you think is useful. I can probably help you | 14:14 |
| Dshx | this could be awesome | 14:14 |
| Dshx | First error appearing: VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block (0,0) | 14:15 |
| Dshx | Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: | 14:16 |
| Dshx | then there are none | 14:16 |
| Dshx | next | 14:16 |
| Dshx | Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) | 14:17 |
| Dshx | Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.2.0-27-generic #43-Ubuntu | 14:17 |
| Sidewinder1 | aasu, Here.. :-) | 14:19 |
| Dshx | All happend after upgrading to 12.04 LTS , having firefox opened for stream watching. there was an error, x crashed but mouse was visible. sadly no windows, so i rebootet. | 14:21 |
| pecc | sorry for dropping out, had big problems | 14:22 |
| pecc | everything stopped responding after I had curl installed | 14:23 |
| pecc | had to reboot a few times etc | 14:23 |
| pecc | my ip is | 14:24 |
| pecc | <Blazemore> OK | 14:24 |
| pecc | eh sorry | 14:24 |
| pecc | 80.221.34.58 | 14:24 |
| Dshx | Blazemore is actually afk for 5 min | 14:24 |
| pecc | their away says brb | 14:25 |
| pecc | anyways, I'll wait for now | 14:25 |
| Dshx | me2 | 14:26 |
| Blazemore | Back | 14:27 |
| Blazemore | Right | 14:28 |
| Blazemore | pecc: you first | 14:28 |
| Blazemore | pecc: Did you make sure uTorrent is running? | 14:29 |
| pecc | Blaze dear what I'm saying is I can't get it to run because Foxy won | 14:29 |
| pecc | 't connect to localhost/what I said earlier | 14:29 |
| Blazemore | pecc: but is utorrent running? | 14:29 |
| pecc | how do I check? :I | 14:29 |
| Blazemore | How do you expect to connect to it via a web browser if you don't know if it's running? | 14:30 |
| Blazemore | You said it was working before you rebooted. You must have run utorrent at some point to make it work | 14:30 |
| Dshx | ps -e | grep utorrent maybe this? | 14:30 |
| Blazemore | Basically, utorrent runs in the background, and then you connect to it with a web browser | 14:31 |
| Blazemore | pecc: But as I said, is there any reason you want to use uTorrent specifically? | 14:31 |
| pecc | mini laptop? | 14:31 |
| Dshx | does not make that much sense | 14:31 |
| Dshx | have also a netbook here | 14:31 |
| pecc | I was lead to believe utorrent is very lightweight | 14:32 |
| Blazemore | pecc: On Windows, yes | 14:32 |
| pecc | ahmm | 14:32 |
| Blazemore | pecc: What are you trying to achieve? What's your end-goal? | 14:32 |
| pecc | get my torrents \o/ | 14:32 |
| Dshx | brb, 10 min | 14:32 |
| Blazemore | pecc: Are you looking for a bittorrent client you can run, and then connect to it from other machines to manage the torrents? | 14:32 |
| pecc | no, I only have this poor little thingy | 14:32 |
| Blazemore | pecc: So you just want a bittorrent client? | 14:33 |
| pecc | yep, something that won't make my lappy die | 14:33 |
| Blazemore | Go to the software centre and install Deluge. It has a full graphical user interface | 14:33 |
| Blazemore | No web browsers required | 14:33 |
| pecc | aww :I guess I hafta download those files again for seed/download -to-where-I-can-see'em :I | 14:34 |
| Blazemore | Where did it download them to? | 14:34 |
| Blazemore | check in ~/Downloads | 14:34 |
| Blazemore | pecc: Deluge looks like this (http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/tkknx0dh/D0.0KU497.4KDeluge_013.png) - is that the sort of thing you were looking for? | 14:35 |
| pecc | they end up there only after I manually click every subfile | 14:35 |
| Blazemore | Not sure what you mean by "manually click" or "subfile" | 14:35 |
| pecc | deluge looks nice | 14:35 |
| Blazemore | Have you used bittorrent before at all? | 14:35 |
| Blazemore | Are you new to Linux? | 14:35 |
| pecc | well I'm here in the beginners help chat right :D but I know a bit of things so not completely new | 14:36 |
| Blazemore | OK | 14:36 |
| Blazemore | So yes, go ahead and install Deluge | 14:36 |
| Blazemore | The default settings are very sensible | 14:36 |
| Blazemore | But have a look in the preferences to make sure you know where the files are being downloaded to | 14:36 |
| pecc | im not quite sure what you mean by bittorrent but I previously used uTorrent on Win7 and now on Ubuntu for a few days until this whole incident | 14:37 |
| Blazemore | uTorrent is a protocol which allows for downloading things | 14:37 |
| Blazemore | **** | 14:37 |
| Blazemore | BITTORRENT is a protocol | 14:37 |
| pecc | ok | 14:37 |
| Blazemore | uTorrent is a "client" which uses this protocol. There are other clients like Deluge and Transmission | 14:38 |
| Blazemore | uTorrent just happens to be the most popular on Windows | 14:38 |
| pecc | yeah | 14:38 |
| pecc | so yeah | 14:38 |
| Blazemore | You can download the same things with Deluge (from Pirate Bay or wherever) | 14:38 |
| pecc | I looked at the webui prefs a couple of times and the "download here" field was empty, had no idea how a proper path would have looked like and was feeling lazy those times so didn't get to try it | 14:39 |
| pecc | I guessed as much | 14:39 |
| Blazemore | OK so go install Deluge and have a play with it | 14:40 |
| Blazemore | Download some Lemon Jelly http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7517174/Lemon_Jelly_Discography_%5BMP3%5D | 14:40 |
| Blazemore | OK Dshx are you still here? | 14:40 |
| pecc | "If you are running Ubuntu, it is strongly suggested to use a package manager like aptitude or synaptic to download and install packages, instead of doing so manually via this website." nice if I knew how to do that =_=;; | 14:40 |
| Blazemore | pecc: Open the Ubuntu Software Centre | 14:41 |
| pecc | it's horribly laggy for me :( | 14:41 |
| Blazemore | On Linux, you rarely install software by downloading something from the developer's website | 14:41 |
| pecc | wouldn't Terminal do? | 14:41 |
| Blazemore | Then open a terminal | 14:41 |
| Blazemore | And type "sudo apt-get install deluge" without the quotes | 14:41 |
| pecc | \o/ | 14:41 |
| pecc | o.o I thought that command only works for stuff you've downloaded but o.o yay, ok, I'll be doing that then | 14:42 |
| Blazemore | the "apt-get" command downloads and installs packages from the Ubuntu repositories | 14:42 |
| pecc | whoah what happened | 14:42 |
| pecc | Media change: please insert the disc labeled | 14:42 |
| pecc | 'Ubuntu 12.04 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release i386 (20120423)' | 14:42 |
| pecc | in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter | 14:42 |
| Blazemore | run "sudo apt-get update" first, then try again | 14:43 |
| pecc | whew | 14:43 |
| pecc | update gives the same lines | 14:43 |
| Blazemore | (you can press the Up arrow on your keyboard to scroll back through previous commands you have run) | 14:43 |
| pecc | (noticed that earlier today \o/) | 14:44 |
| Blazemore | sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources/list | 14:44 |
| Blazemore | Delete any lines which contain the word "cdrom" or anything that looks like that | 14:44 |
| Blazemore | But it won't cause any actual problems | 14:44 |
| pecc | it should open a file in gedit right? | 14:45 |
| Blazemore | pecc: Yes | 14:45 |
| pecc | ...not doing that | 14:45 |
| Blazemore | The cdrom lines are probably the first couple | 14:45 |
| Blazemore | Oh OK | 14:45 |
| pecc | instead it started doing what looks like loading/installing | 14:45 |
| pecc | puking lines in rapid succession | 14:45 |
| Blazemore | you ran "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources/list" and it did that? | 14:45 |
| pecc | yep | 14:45 |
| Blazemore | or when you ran sudo apt-get update | 14:45 |
| pecc | no, after gedit /etc/apt and so on | 14:46 |
| Blazemore | It doesn't matter if it's spewing out crap to the terminal, just run "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources/list" and wait a couple of seconds | 14:46 |
| pecc | it finished and by how the last 20 or so lines look like it's finished installing/setting up Deluge | 14:47 |
| Blazemore | That's interesting | 14:47 |
| pecc | yep, Deluge showing up in Dash home | 14:47 |
| Blazemore | Take a look in whatever Ubuntu calls the menu now, to see if Deluge is installed | 14:47 |
| Blazemore | Super | 14:47 |
| Blazemore | Looks like you're all set, take a peek in the Deluge settings to see what you can see | 14:48 |
| Blazemore | But like I said, the defaults are very sensible | 14:48 |
| pecc | alright, thanks a bunch o/ I'll be having fun with my Deluge now :3 | 14:49 |
| pecc | bye | 14:49 |
| pecc | oh | 14:49 |
| pecc | wait | 14:49 |
| Blazemore | waiting | 14:50 |
| pecc | I'll want to uninstall uTorrent, | 14:50 |
| Dshx | re | 14:50 |
| pecc | so, sudo apt-get uninstall [whatever the name used to install was] ? | 14:50 |
| Blazemore | sudo apt-get remove | 14:50 |
| Blazemore | No pecc | 14:50 |
| pecc | remove then | 14:50 |
| Blazemore | If you didn't install it through the package manager, you can't remove it through the package manager | 14:50 |
| Blazemore | However you installed it, you'll have to uninstall it in a similar way | 14:51 |
| pecc | I did too | 14:51 |
| Blazemore | No you didn't, there aren't any Ubuntu packages for uTorrent | 14:51 |
| pecc | hmmmm | 14:51 |
| Blazemore | There was a folder download on the link you gave me | 14:51 |
| Blazemore | It is probably just a matter of deleting the folder you extrated it to | 14:51 |
| pecc | then what I remember was something other in Terminal | 14:51 |
| Blazemore | Do you remember running "./configure", "make" and "make install" | 14:51 |
| Blazemore | Frankly you're fine not uninstalling it | 14:52 |
| pecc | lordy, all my "Dash home can't find oh noes" files are here O.O | 14:52 |
| Blazemore | It isn't doing any harm just existing on your hard drive, unless space is a MASSIVE issue | 14:52 |
| pecc | Space IS a massive issue | 14:52 |
| pecc | I'm running Ubu from a SD card due to hardware restrictions | 14:53 |
| pecc | restrictions = half of my motherboard is fried :P | 14:53 |
| Dshx | pecc: nice | 14:53 |
| Dshx | sounds like having a bunch of fun | 14:53 |
| pecc | (so fried I can't use the main battery because connecting it will cause a short cirquit 8I) | 14:54 |
| cortman | uh | 14:54 |
| Dshx | Blazemore: im back | 14:54 |
| pecc | it is hugely !!FUN!! but hey, I'm a Dwarf Fortress player :3 | 14:54 |
| cortman | sudo apt-get new-hardware pecc :) | 14:54 |
| pecc | sudo apt-get EUR 500 ;) | 14:55 |
| cortman | Good point. | 14:55 |
| Dshx | ERROR: you need banking permissions. | 14:55 |
| pecc | I got a mother board damaged laptop to work with EUR 70 (dock + USB hub + HDD reader) vs EUR 300 (motherboard job) vs EUR 500 (new lappy) | 14:56 |
| pecc | eh but enough flooding with offtopic, I'll skip to happily enjoy my torrents ^_^ | 14:57 |
| pecc | again thanks a load | 14:57 |
| pecc | (I'll be idling for a while in case I encounter any new weird stuff) | 14:58 |
| Dshx | and im waiting for Blazemore | 14:58 |
| Blazemore | I'm here Dshx | 14:59 |
| Blazemore | Tell me what happens to cause a kernel panic | 14:59 |
| Dshx | wait, i copy from above | 14:59 |
| Blazemore | OK | 15:00 |
| Dshx | First error appearing: VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block (0,0) | 15:00 |
| Dshx | Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: | 15:00 |
| Blazemore | Dshx: Can you boot into your system at all? | 15:00 |
| Dshx | with another kernel, yes | 15:00 |
| Blazemore | Try booting into it with another kernel and run the following one-by-one in this order | 15:01 |
| Dshx | but x doesnt work properly | 15:01 |
| Blazemore | sudo apt-get update | 15:01 |
| Blazemore | Properly? | 15:01 |
| Dshx | ok | 15:01 |
| Blazemore | OK let me say these commands first | 15:01 |
| Dshx | aka fine | 15:01 |
| Blazemore | sudo apt-get update | 15:01 |
| Dshx | you cant click things | 15:01 |
| Blazemore | sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:01 |
| Blazemore | sudo apt-get -f install | 15:01 |
| Blazemore | sudo update-grub | 15:01 |
| Dshx | wait sec | 15:01 |
| Blazemore | then reboot | 15:01 |
| Dshx | i didnt have a network interface | 15:01 |
| Blazemore | Are you on wireless? | 15:01 |
| Dshx | tried boh | 15:02 |
| Dshx | *both | 15:02 |
| Dshx | cause gui isnt working right, i tried over terminal, but like i said, no internet connection | 15:02 |
| Blazemore | So you can boot your system, but you can't get an Internet connection, and the window manager isn't working properly? | 15:02 |
| Dshx | yes | 15:02 |
| Dshx | so i need instructions working for kernel 2.3.0-17 | 15:03 |
| Dshx | in terminal | 15:03 |
| Blazemore | You won't need an Internet connection for this | 15:03 |
| Blazemore | Try just running "sudo update-grub" | 15:03 |
| Dshx | ok | 15:03 |
| Blazemore | When it's done, reboot | 15:04 |
| Blazemore | Tell me if there were any errors running it | 15:04 |
| Dshx | ok | 15:05 |
| Dshx | worked all fine | 15:07 |
| Dshx | now im rebooting | 15:07 |
| Dshx | now should i boot the 0-27 image? | 15:08 |
| Dshx | ok, again kernel panic | 15:08 |
| Dshx | same errors | 15:08 |
| Blazemore | Can you boot into the working system and tell me what is the output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 15:09 |
| Blazemore | Not the exact output | 15:09 |
| Dshx | ok | 15:09 |
| Blazemore | But there will be a list of devices like /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb ... | 15:09 |
| Blazemore | Tell me what all those are | 15:09 |
| Dshx | easy to use texteditor? | 15:14 |
| Dshx | something with n | 15:14 |
| Blazemore | Dshx: nano | 15:14 |
| Dshx | thx | 15:14 |
| Blazemore | Ctrl-O to save, Ctrl-X to quit | 15:14 |
| Dshx | sda1-7 | 15:14 |
| Dshx | and sdb1 | 15:14 |
| Blazemore | So you do have a /dev/sda3? | 15:14 |
| Dshx | yes | 15:14 |
| Blazemore | Do you happen to know which one is the SD card? | 15:15 |
| Dshx | there is no sd card plugged in | 15:15 |
| Dshx | my system is running on a desktop machine | 15:15 |
| Dshx | im only online with my netbook | 15:15 |
| Blazemore | Oh right sorry, it was the other guy with the sd card | 15:16 |
| Dshx | yes | 15:16 |
| Blazemore | This kernel upgrade... did it just come as a normal Ubuntu update? | 15:16 |
| Blazemore | Or did you try to compile your own kernel? | 15:16 |
| Dshx | no no, normal ubuntu update | 15:17 |
| Blazemore | OK | 15:17 |
| Dshx | im not that experienced to build my own kernel | 15:17 |
| Blazemore | What is the full name of the kernel Grub says it is? | 15:17 |
| Blazemore | On the Grub menu | 15:17 |
| Dshx | 2.3.0.27 | 15:17 |
| Dshx | 2.3.0-27 | 15:17 |
| Blazemore | ...2.3? | 15:18 |
| Blazemore | or 3.2 | 15:18 |
| Dshx | 3.2 pardon | 15:18 |
| Blazemore | Because kernel 2.3 came out well before Ubuntu was even thought of | 15:18 |
| Blazemore | lol | 15:18 |
| Blazemore | OK | 15:18 |
| Dshx | :D | 15:18 |
| Dshx | but 2.6 is still in the system | 15:18 |
| Blazemore | "sudo update-initramfs -u -k 3.2.0-27-generic" - run that from the working kernel | 15:19 |
| Dshx | done | 15:21 |
| Dshx | offtopic: im kinda proud that nix systems dont want to initialize my harddrives like windows | 15:21 |
| Dshx | btt: reboot? | 15:21 |
| Blazemore | yes | 15:21 |
| Dshx | again | 15:22 |
| Dshx | still says unknown block | 15:22 |
| Dshx | well maybe the kernel not consistent? | 15:23 |
| Dshx | or is there a way to get my network interface connected to the internet and follow your first instructions? | 15:23 |
| Blazemore | Yes | 15:23 |
| Blazemore | At the login screen, select some kind of failsafe option instead of just "ubuntu" | 15:24 |
| Blazemore | Something like ubuntu 2d | 15:24 |
| Dshx | ok lets try this.. rebooting... | 15:25 |
| Dshx | where i can change the interface at login screen | 15:26 |
| Dshx | i dont find the dropdown | 15:26 |
| Dshx | or something | 15:26 |
| Blazemore | I think it's the little Ubuntu logo | 15:26 |
| Blazemore | Near the password field | 15:27 |
| Dshx | i think you wont belive me, but there is none | 15:27 |
| Dshx | haha, found. there is no image, but it is clickable | 15:27 |
| Blazemore | Dshx: Click your username | 15:27 |
| Dshx | allright, logged in | 15:28 |
| Dshx | no internet connection | 15:29 |
| Blazemore | I'm 100% sure that's an unrelated issue | 15:30 |
| Dshx | booted 10 min before in windows, lan works properly | 15:30 |
| Dshx | but i check the cable again | 15:31 |
| Dshx | ok, led blinks, cable is connected | 15:31 |
| Dshx | no connection | 15:31 |
| Dshx | is there a way to start the network deamon or something? | 15:32 |
| Blazemore | sudo service network-manager restart | 15:33 |
| Blazemore | Check in your network settings (the icon is on the top bar somewhere near the right) | 15:33 |
| Blazemore | Not sure what you'd be loking for though | 15:33 |
| Dshx | the problem is | 15:34 |
| Dshx | there are no icons | 15:34 |
| Dshx | even all symbols are missing | 15:34 |
| Blazemore | Something's badly wrong | 15:34 |
| Dshx | yes | 15:34 |
| Dshx | i totally agree with you | 15:34 |
| Blazemore | Something during the upgrade process went absolutely tits-up | 15:34 |
| Dshx | jop | 15:35 |
| Dshx | hmm | 15:35 |
| Blazemore | I would strongly recommend backing up any files, downloading the latest Ubuntu liveCD and doing a lovely fresh install | 15:35 |
| Dshx | do you know a way to get the network manually up ? | 15:35 |
| Dshx | yeah i know, but i thought it would be a good exersice for me to clean up the mess and learn something out about it | 15:36 |
| Dshx | i have an idea: i look up how to connect manually to my router and see if i can get a connection | 15:36 |
| Dshx | than i respond to you back | 15:36 |
| Blazemore | Manually, Dshx | 15:36 |
| Blazemore | You want to look at /etc/network/interfaces | 15:36 |
| Blazemore | Google for : ubuntu static IP interfaces | 15:37 |
| Blazemore | or something | 15:37 |
| Dshx | ok | 15:37 |
| Dshx | fuck yes, dhcp is up and running | 15:41 |
| Dshx | awaiting your orders, master | 15:41 |
| holstein | Dshx: we try to keep it a "family show" in here :) | 15:41 |
| Dshx | ok, sry ;) | 15:41 |
| holstein | thought, i can feel your excitement... | 15:42 |
| holstein | though* | 15:42 |
| Blazemore | Dshx: | 15:43 |
| Dshx | holstein: im not that good as the normal linux user, so if i can achive here and there a goal for my own im quite happy | 15:43 |
| Dshx | Blazemore: yes | 15:43 |
| Blazemore | sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get autoremove; sudo update-grub | 15:43 |
| Blazemore | Go! | 15:43 |
| Dshx | Yes! | 15:44 |
| pecc | oh btw how does one close the CTRL+ALT+F1 terminal screen? o.o | 16:00 |
| pecc | escape it, whatever? | 16:00 |
| SkippersBoss | alt F7 | 16:03 |
| pecc | thx | 16:03 |
| Dshx | Blazemore: guess what: system is up and running. | 16:16 |
| Dshx | the jasper package caused problems and the libjpg was not installaed | 16:17 |
| Dshx | *installed | 16:17 |
| Dshx | I really really like to thank you Blazemore | 16:18 |
| Dshx | you saved my day :D | 16:18 |
| Dshx | i want to write a go trough of the problem for others to fix that. can i name you in there? | 16:19 |
| Dshx | thats the bug that caused the problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/taglib/+bug/902603 | 16:22 |
| ubot2 | Ubuntu bug 902603 in taglib "When installing Multi-Arch: same (meta-)package for two architectures, dpkg considers one arch as completely disappeared" [High,Fix released] | 16:22 |
| Blazemore | Dshx: Sure why now | 16:26 |
| Blazemore | Dshx: If you want to thank me for anything, you can buy a My Little Pony toy and donate it to a local children's hospital | 16:27 |
| Dshx | Blazemore: sounds good to me | 16:27 |
| Blazemore | Although I didn't actually solve anything | 16:30 |
| Dshx | but you got me in the right direction to solve this | 16:33 |
| Dshx | and thats the point | 16:33 |
| Blazemore | OK that's good | 16:33 |
| pecc | Blaze... I'm back with more :I | 16:34 |
| Blazemore | Hello pecc | 16:34 |
| pecc | so i need to bind an IP to an url | 16:34 |
| Blazemore | Within your local network? | 16:34 |
| pecc | let me check | 16:34 |
| Blazemore | Or just on the local machine? | 16:35 |
| Blazemore | You want it so when you go to example.com it goes to a specific IP? | 16:35 |
| Blazemore | You can edit the /etc/hosts file | 16:35 |
| pecc | oh great they don't know | 16:35 |
| pecc | well let''s assume yes | 16:35 |
| pecc | difference, network vs machine? | 16:35 |
| pecc | yes I suppose like that | 16:36 |
| Blazemore | Well, if you want everybody in the WORLD to be able to access this IP through this domain | 16:36 |
| Blazemore | You need to buy the domain and edit the zone files from your registrar | 16:36 |
| pecc | O.O | 16:36 |
| pecc | I only need me? | 16:36 |
| pecc | to go there via the bind? | 16:36 |
| Blazemore | If you just want www.domain.com to be a kind of easy-to-remember shortcut | 16:36 |
| Blazemore | Then edit the hosts file | 16:36 |
| Blazemore | sudo nano /etc/hosts | 16:36 |
| pecc | alright I'll try | 16:36 |
| Blazemore | It's pretty obvious syntax | 16:37 |
| pecc | hmm I expected something with "gedit" but ok | 16:37 |
| Blazemore | oh | 16:37 |
| Blazemore | yes, gedit instead of nano if you prefer | 16:37 |
| Blazemore | nano is another text editor which runs in the console | 16:37 |
| pecc | hmmm it's empty so no example of syntax | 16:37 |
| pecc | oh cool | 16:37 |
| Blazemore | SURE you're editing /etc/hosts | 16:37 |
| Blazemore | not /etc/host | 16:38 |
| pecc | yes | 16:38 |
| Blazemore | I don't believe you :-) Check again | 16:38 |
| Blazemore | sudo gedit /etc/hosts | 16:38 |
| Blazemore | If you're sure, just add a line in the format | 16:38 |
| Blazemore | ip domain | 16:38 |
| Blazemore | for example | 16:38 |
| Blazemore | 192.168.0.1 router | 16:38 |
| pecc | hah found it | 16:38 |
| Blazemore | what was the typo? | 16:38 |
| Blazemore | :P | 16:38 |
| pecc | an extra / | 16:39 |
| pecc | typical but shoulda known | 16:39 |
| pecc | (/ets/hosts/) | 16:39 |
| pecc | *c | 16:39 |
| pecc | *etc | 16:39 |
| Blazemore | Protip: Linux file and directory names are case sensitive. Remember that so it doesn't bite you in the future. file is not the same as File or FILE | 16:39 |
| Blazemore | Right I have to do the food shopping before I get out of work | 16:40 |
| pecc | ok | 16:40 |
| Blazemore | Editing the hosts file will work, but you might have to reboot to get it to work | 16:41 |
| Blazemore | There are ways without rebooting, but rebooting is 100% guarenteed to work | 16:41 |
| pecc | ok | 16:41 |
| mike760534211 | i am trying to find info on how to create a short cut to terminal session that always starts in root. is that possible. any help would be greatly appreciated | 17:16 |
| holstein | mike760534211: i would look at trying to script what you are trying to do... you could have a user with limitations that can start that.. there are options | 17:17 |
| holstein | i would elaborate | 17:17 |
| mike760534211 | i am running alot of dev for android and most of the compile commands require root to build properly. everytime i build i have to su and would like a short cut or something of the nature that i can click to load the terminal and auto login to root | 17:19 |
| bioterror | mike760534211, alt+f2 gksudo gnome-terminal | 17:20 |
| bioterror | or what ever you use | 17:20 |
| holstein | i would not want that shortcut.. i would use "sudo -s" and just enter the pass | 17:21 |
| pecc | is there a way to make a file be opened by a certain time? every day? | 19:05 |
| holstein | maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto or http://askubuntu.com/questions/112249/what-is-the-easiest-way-to-set-up-a-cron-job pecc | 19:07 |
| pecc | ooh nice thanks | 19:07 |
| pecc | eh I have trouble understanding the command syntax for cronjobd | 19:22 |
| pecc | *jobs | 19:22 |
| pecc | for instance does "/usr/bin/updatedb" mean "execute any 'updatedb' file in folder /urs/bin/"? | 19:24 |
| holstein | pecc: if it were me, i would just test and see it in action... im not sure how the particulars work... | 19:31 |
| pecc | ok, here goes nothing | 19:32 |
| pecc | no, doesn't work that way | 19:41 |

| srunner123 | hello? | 20:04 |
| holstein | srunner123: welcome... whats up? | 20:04 |
| stlsaint | srunner123: do you have an issue? | 20:06 |
| philballew | Were here to help! | 20:07 |
| srunner123 | hi stlaint | 20:08 |
| srunner123 | yes | 20:08 |
| srunner123 | is there a way to show a list of programs? | 20:08 |
| bioterror | what? | 20:08 |
| srunner123 | example, in Windows, the start/programs | 20:08 |
| bioterror | list what programs? | 20:08 |
| srunner123 | I have loaded a few, but I don't want to dock all of them to the side launcher, and the only way I found them to use was to go into the Dash Home | 20:10 |
| holstein | srunner123: i find unity a little challenging for that.. you can search for them by starting to type the name.. seeing a traditional menu with a list is a bit more challenging | 20:11 |
| holstein | srunner123: from what i read, this issue is being addressed in unity soon | 20:11 |
| srunner123 | ahh, ok cool. | 20:12 |
| holstein | srunner123: you can always open a package manager and look at what applications are installed | 20:12 |
| philballew | heres what to do srunner123 iirc | 20:12 |
| srunner123 | another question. in the Dash Home, how do I remove the icons of previous viewed documents? | 20:12 |
| holstein | this also seems easy srunner123 http://askubuntu.com/questions/122437/how-to-access-applications-menu-in-ubuntu-unity-desktop | 20:12 |
| philballew | previously viewed docs? | 20:13 |
| srunner123 | Holstein, that is exactly what I needed! | 20:13 |
| srunner123 | awesome | 20:13 |
| srunner123 | philballew, sorry, it was the recently downloaded | 20:14 |
| philballew | You can right click on the ubuntu button on 12.04 to go right to "applications", not sure if this was in 11.10 though. – Jorge Castro | 20:15 |
| srunner123 | brb, going to work that menu issue | 20:18 |
| JoseeAntonioR | any ideas on what may return a 403 error in a PHP? | 20:18 |
| nhr__ | Hi folks, got bsod on 12.04, after that not able to login. It says failed to load session ubuntu | 20:49 |
| JoseeAntonioR | nhr__: Huh? There's no bsod in Ubuntu | 20:53 |
| bioterror | login with ssh and check if you have whole ubuntu-desktop installed ;) | 20:54 |
| bioterror | or any other way like tty1 :D | 20:55 |
| nhr__ | Black screen of death - I got a dump of stack trace and the whole thing just crashed | 20:55 |
| bioterror | sounds great times with computer | 20:56 |
| nhr__ | I was logged in and was working and suddenly this happend. | 20:56 |
| nhr__ | Only thing I can think of is I got update message and I let it update. Don't know what it updated today | 20:57 |
| David-A | nhr__: can you get at /var/log/apt/history.log* somehow? (e.g. live cd) it should have "Update" entries. | 21:05 |
| nhr__ | ok | 21:05 |
| bioterror | tty1 and scp it to somewhere | 21:06 |
| bioterror | or pastebinit | 21:06 |
| nhr__ | http://pastebin.com/jW7ZQYEN | 21:09 |
| nhr__ | Sorry, that seems to be my attemp of fixing it as per bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/808654 | 21:10 |
| ubot2 | Ubuntu bug 808654 in xorg "Failed to load session "ubuntu"" [Undecided,Invalid] | 21:10 |
| nhr__ | This is what got installed before it crashed http://pastebin.com/XXLAhbDU | 21:13 |
| nhr__ | After the dpkg reconfigure I am able to login but getting weired errors - Authetication required to change user data | 21:14 |
| srunner123 | who ever it was that helped me with the program menu, thank you~ it works perfectly | 23:51 |
