[11:13] <shogunrisk> hallo peeps
[11:14] <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
[11:15] <shogunrisk> oh dont worry just found it
[11:19] <Blazemore> This is a really interesting article https://www.readability.com/articles/vrwys1xa
[13:48] <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
[13:49] <Blazemore> pecc: On Ubuntu?
[13:49] <pecc> yes
[13:50] <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?
[13:51] <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
[13:52] <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?
[13:53] <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
[13:54] <pecc> a moment
[13:55] <pecc>  http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux <from there
[13:55] <Blazemore> Oh OK
[13:56] <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
[13:57] <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?
[13:58] <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?
[13:59] <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
[14:11] <aasu> tell me good application of ubuntu
[14:11] <Dshx> hi
[14:12] <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
[14:13] <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?
[14:14] <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
[14:15] <Dshx> First error appearing: VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block (0,0)
[14:16] <Dshx> Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
[14:16] <Dshx> then there are none
[14:16] <Dshx> next
[14:17] <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
[14:19] <Sidewinder1> aasu, Here.. :-)
[14:21] <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.
[14:22] <pecc> sorry for dropping out, had big problems
[14:23] <pecc> everything stopped responding after I had curl installed
[14:23] <pecc> had to reboot a few times etc
[14:24] <pecc> my ip is
 OK
[14:24] <pecc> eh sorry
[14:24] <pecc> 80.221.34.58
[14:24] <Dshx> Blazemore is actually afk for 5 min
[14:25] <pecc> their away says brb
[14:25] <pecc> anyways, I'll wait for now
[14:26] <Dshx> me2
[14:27] <Blazemore> Back
[14:28] <Blazemore> Right
[14:28] <Blazemore> pecc: you first
[14:29] <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
[14:30] <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?
[14:31] <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
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <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
[14:34] <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
[14:35] <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?
[14:36] <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
[14:37] <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
[14:38] <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)
[14:39] <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
[14:40] <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 =_=;;
[14:41] <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/
[14:42] <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
[14:43] <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)
[14:44] <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
[14:45] <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
[14:46] <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
[14:47] <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
[14:48] <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
[14:49] <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
[14:50] <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
[14:51] <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"
[14:52] <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
[14:53] <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
[14:54] <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 :)
[14:55] <pecc> sudo apt-get EUR 500 ;)
[14:55] <cortman> Good point.
[14:55] <Dshx> ERROR: you need banking permissions.
[14:56] <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)
[14:57] <pecc> eh but enough flooding with offtopic, I'll skip to happily enjoy my torrents ^_^
[14:57] <pecc> again thanks a load
[14:58] <pecc> (I'll be idling for a while in case I encounter any new weird stuff)
[14:58] <Dshx> and im waiting for Blazemore
[14:59] <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
[15:00] <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
[15:01] <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?
[15:02] <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
[15:03] <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
[15:04] <Blazemore> When it's done, reboot
[15:04] <Blazemore> Tell me if there were any errors running it
[15:05] <Dshx> ok
[15:07] <Dshx> worked all fine
[15:07] <Dshx> now im rebooting
[15:08] <Dshx> now should i boot the 0-27 image?
[15:08] <Dshx> ok, again kernel panic
[15:08] <Dshx> same errors
[15:09] <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
[15:14] <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
[15:15] <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
[15:16] <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?
[15:17] <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
[15:18] <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
[15:19] <Blazemore> "sudo update-initramfs -u -k 3.2.0-27-generic" - run that from the working kernel
[15:21] <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
[15:22] <Dshx> again
[15:22] <Dshx> still says unknown block
[15:23] <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
[15:24] <Blazemore> At the login screen, select some kind of failsafe option instead of just "ubuntu"
[15:24] <Blazemore> Something like ubuntu 2d
[15:25] <Dshx> ok lets try this.. rebooting...
[15:26] <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
[15:27] <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
[15:28] <Dshx> allright, logged in
[15:29] <Dshx> no internet connection
[15:30] <Blazemore> I'm 100% sure that's an unrelated issue
[15:30] <Dshx> booted 10 min before in windows, lan works properly
[15:31] <Dshx> but i check the cable again
[15:31] <Dshx> ok, led blinks, cable is connected
[15:31] <Dshx> no connection
[15:32] <Dshx> is there a way to start the network deamon or something?
[15:33] <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
[15:34] <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
[15:35] <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 ?
[15:36] <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
[15:37] <Blazemore> Google for : ubuntu static IP interfaces
[15:37] <Blazemore> or something
[15:37] <Dshx> ok
[15:41] <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 ;)
[15:42] <holstein> thought, i can feel your excitement...
[15:42] <holstein> though*
[15:43] <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!
[15:44] <Dshx> Yes!
[16:00] <pecc> oh btw how does one close the CTRL+ALT+F1 terminal screen? o.o
[16:00] <pecc> escape it, whatever?
[16:03] <SkippersBoss> alt F7
[16:03] <pecc> thx
[16:16] <Dshx> Blazemore: guess what: system is up and running.
[16:17] <Dshx> the jasper package caused problems and the libjpg was not installaed
[16:17] <Dshx> *installed
[16:18] <Dshx> I really really like to thank you Blazemore
[16:18] <Dshx> you saved my day :D
[16:19] <Dshx> i want to write a go trough of the problem for others to fix that. can i name you in there?
[16:22] <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]
[16:26] <Blazemore> Dshx: Sure why now
[16:27] <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
[16:30] <Blazemore> Although I didn't actually solve anything
[16:33] <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
[16:34] <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
[16:35] <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?
[16:36] <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
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <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
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <Blazemore> Right I have to do the food shopping before I get out of work
[16:40] <pecc> ok
[16:41] <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
[17:16] <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
[17:17] <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
[17:19] <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
[17:20] <bioterror> mike760534211, alt+f2 gksudo gnome-terminal
[17:20] <bioterror> or what ever you use
[17:21] <holstein> i would not want that shortcut.. i would use "sudo -s" and just enter the pass
[19:05] <pecc> is there a way to make a file be opened by a certain time? every day?
[19:07] <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
[19:22] <pecc> eh I have trouble understanding the command syntax for cronjobd
[19:22] <pecc> *jobs
[19:24] <pecc> for instance does "/usr/bin/updatedb" mean "execute any 'updatedb' file in folder /urs/bin/"?
[19:31] <holstein> pecc: if it were me, i would just test and see it in action... im not sure how the particulars work...
[19:32] <pecc> ok, here goes nothing
[19:41] <pecc> no, doesn't work that way
[20:04] <srunner123> hello?
[20:04] <holstein> srunner123: welcome... whats up?
[20:06] <stlsaint> srunner123: do you have an issue?
[20:07] <philballew> Were here to help!
[20:08] <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?
[20:10] <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
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <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
[20:13] <philballew> previously viewed docs?
[20:13] <srunner123> Holstein, that is exactly what I needed!
[20:13] <srunner123> awesome
[20:14] <srunner123> philballew, sorry, it was the recently downloaded
[20:15] <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
[20:18] <srunner123> brb, going to work that menu issue
[20:18] <JoseeAntonioR> any ideas on what may return a 403 error in a PHP?
[20:49] <nhr__> Hi folks, got bsod on 12.04, after that not able to login. It says failed to load session ubuntu
[20:53] <JoseeAntonioR> nhr__: Huh? There's no bsod in Ubuntu
[20:54] <bioterror> login with ssh and check if you have whole ubuntu-desktop installed ;)
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <bioterror> sounds great times with computer
[20:56] <nhr__> I was logged in and was working and suddenly this happend.
[20:57] <nhr__> Only thing I can think of is I got update message and I let it update. Don't know what it updated today
[21:05] <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
[21:06] <bioterror> tty1 and scp it to somewhere
[21:06] <bioterror> or pastebinit
[21:09] <nhr__> http://pastebin.com/jW7ZQYEN
[21:10] <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]

[21:14] <nhr__> After the dpkg reconfigure I am able to login but getting weired errors - Authetication required to change user data
[23:51] <srunner123> who ever it was that helped me with the program menu, thank you~ it works perfectly
